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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
A'd be a seven greetings, welcome here till midnight. That
is me, I am Marcus. How are you? What's happening?
Where are you? Let us know eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty ninety nine two to text.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
There is.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Downpours expected to lash the North Island Auckland has put
on it rainwatch at that time of the year when
we focus on the weather a little bit twenty five
degrees in Hastings yesterday. Goodness, gracious me and the big
story obviously the person that got in trouble for driving

(00:48):
with their kids and the windscreen hadn't hadn't defrosted headline
is quite good. Thor and order. A Christiane woman has
been served the chili reminder of an obscure traffic violation

(01:10):
coppying a one fifty dollars fine for driving with ice
covering her windscreen. At around eight thirty am, a police
officer has a vehicle swerving across the center line and
a wigram as far as the curb on the other
side of the road. She was stopped and given an

(01:32):
infringement notice for driving with an obscured windscreen A one
fifty fine. Yeah, Now part of the legislation is you
need a clean windscreen inside and out. Mind I didn't

(01:52):
tell her how she should defrost it. We've all been there.
It's actually not that straightforward. There are different skills of
thoughts on how to defrost a windscreen in a hurry.
Some people use cold water, some people use boiling water.
Some people use the planet denying time method when you

(02:15):
actually go outside and you turn your car on and
you turn the air con on, then you go inside
and have breakfast. Some people, I don't know what. Some
people do boiling water, but they can think I don't
know about boiling water. That was always kind of talked about,
has been slightly I've never felt that good about boiling

(02:39):
water on a windscreen. So what do you do? And
I've got pluy. I do it often. Sometimes I leave work.
It's impossible. I think the thing about boiling water canary

(03:00):
freeze quicker, which is weird. A So this is what
I want to start talking about as boy, and I
always thought the hot water might crack the windscreen. So yeah,
I actually the more I think about, the more confused
I get. Some people give you stupid little pedals to

(03:23):
scrape them, whether you can never find them when you
need them. I like, we just got a tiny little
window that it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger
because you can wind down the window and then put
your head out there and drive that way.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Pete.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
That's not recommended, by the way, Pete.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Do you know Marcus, are you there?

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Well?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I wouldn't that it's work.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
Oh yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Never never ever put a whole water on your wind
scream out your crack it.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I I think that might be a I was gonna say,
wives table. That sounds sexist.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
You know, I can't.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
I can't do that. But no, you just just root warm.
Even all depends. Hell, you're going to think how thick
of the frosted someone. You get a very light frost
and you can just you just cold water and it
will pretty much go away, or it's a real heavy frost,
just sort of loo lukewarm. That's all no more.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
When I was you, when you're in, you're you go.

Speaker 8 (04:24):
When you're in.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
When I was in Holland there, I was in there
and I did one winter over there. They gets a
really good frost over there, and let my uncle's placed
there and every window was ice frosted up, and it
took me about near ten minutes quarter of an hour
to get because they're the excuse me when my uncle's

(04:48):
are living in They all canals on both sides. They
had real narrow roads, and they don't muck around over
They drive pretty fast. And I was a pretty you know,
sort of timbered Kiwi when they go over there, and
I thought, well, they go quite fast. I'll keep going
to work early over there. I always made sure they
all my windows and all sides were.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Hang on, hang on, you're losing me. What were were
you speed skating over there?

Speaker 5 (05:15):
No? No, I was just working over.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Your tulip farming.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
And the brands over there and uncles and that there,
and I was just working over there.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's pretty that's pretty Dutch when I wanted to be tulip.
What were you doing with the tulips, like digging the
bulbs or something.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
No, they had big, big sheds over there, did the
whole thing, bulbs and your your plant and then you
got to cut the flowers off there or got timbers
in there. And there your sheds and the well high
tech stuff. You know, they export them you see, they
make good money, had the chutes and holm and it's
so kind of long story short as Yeah. So you
just just look warm water and you can get a brush.

(05:56):
You can get actually you can get on the special
little scrapers and you just just speed it up. You
can skin just scrape it off and it just just
comes off all easy.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Pete can ask you a question, men, ask you a
question man to men.

Speaker 9 (06:09):
Oh, I suppose you can.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Have you ever met anyone that have you ever met
anyone that shared their windscreen by using boiling water?

Speaker 5 (06:18):
No, you just don't do it, mate, you just know
it's but.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I reckon it is a no.

Speaker 10 (06:23):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I reckon that because now they're eliminated with plastic. And
I reckon you probably dropped the old kittle on there
and go okay, No.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm guarantee you get some feedback tonight. That's definitely a no.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
No.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
You just won't take the risk.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'll take the risk. You start off, Oh, you start
practicing on a higher car, and then you do on
your own car after a few years. I reckon you
could do it. I've done the kittle. Here we go,
we're away bomb, there we go. Fancy you doing the
old tulips, because who would buy them, because we do
tulips in New Zealand. You know, we found bulbs here
and we send them over there.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah, no, it's a big market, HOLI say central They
just because in the half of Europe they just all jimy.
It goes anywhere in Norway they do. It's a free
industry over there. Lot of farmers here they actually I.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Think it's a real weakened I think it's a real
weakned and impressive looking flower. The tu I don't like
it at all.

Speaker 11 (07:20):
Here.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
You go over there in the fields and they've got tulips,
and what they do is that all the tunics they
grow the flowers on them. And what happens is they
ain't don't worry about the flowers. They cut the flowers off.
They just grow.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, I don't reckon. They've got enough petals to be
how many petals would would tulip have? Don't know, well
you farm them, would have been just four petals, probably
four GB or something. Thanks Pete, you've done me. Well,

(07:53):
how many petals does a tulip have?

Speaker 6 (07:57):
You?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Never like the tulip. They're just a bit pretty looking.
Three petals? God, no, wonder, three petals, three siples, and
six free stamons. Dave Marcus, welcoming, what Hello, How are

(08:18):
you made?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Good good, good good good.

Speaker 12 (08:21):
Hey. The last caller you just head on now, he's
right onto it. I'm seventy one years of age. I
live in Fielding and I'll tell you what. There's no
way you put hot boiling water onto a windscreen.

Speaker 10 (08:32):
Of done.

Speaker 12 (08:33):
Friends in the path of one or two of the
wives have done it and cracked the screen. Bang bang bang.
So that's the end of it, finish done. Their last
caller nailed it.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I've done it with a kid. How interestingly, puting on
the wives, how long ago was this like fifty years ago?

Speaker 12 (08:51):
No, God, maybe three or four years ago. You just
don't do it because the hot the boiling water just
absolutely just crack the screen straight away, bang is said.
You know, it's just common sense.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, I think that might. I think the common wisdom
might have changed on the windscreen. People are using kettles now.

Speaker 12 (09:16):
Well, maybe you might want to contact Yeah, I'll.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Go to AA. Nice to hear from you. Dave hy
Derek ats Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 13 (09:24):
Good evening, Marcus. The easiest way around, Okay, the loop
warm water does work because I used to use it.
But I put paper across me windows, sorry windscreen, and
that is.

Speaker 10 (09:38):
The way to go.

Speaker 13 (09:38):
You know, I would have thought you might do that
down where you are in Southland. No, because you really
worked just after midnight and you said your windows are
frozen sometimes, and I would have thought you might bring
paper across your window.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Hang on what sort of paper newspaper? Have you read
the newspaper down here? There's not much inet.

Speaker 13 (10:02):
Well, therefore you keep it in your car over winter
put the only wind.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Screen underneath thought.

Speaker 14 (10:10):
On top.

Speaker 13 (10:11):
You put it under your windscreen wipers and it stays there.

Speaker 14 (10:16):
It works for me.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
So you just think, do we think, all, what's a
frosty night? Where's the south and times? And put under
the windscreen wipers.

Speaker 13 (10:24):
Well, wherever you live, if you get a frost like that,
you know, you know obviously loop warm water does work
the trick, but it saves time if you put paper
on your windscreen.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Because I've found the boiling water quite effective. That people
scream blue murder about that.

Speaker 13 (10:41):
Oh no, you don't put boiling on it.

Speaker 15 (10:44):
You know.

Speaker 13 (10:46):
In the seventies been when I EASi lead mac carry
out because dad always had the garage and yep, no,
no me neighbor did it. And I don't just throw
lead warm water over it.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
But now these windscreens are so fleshed with all those
lemonatees and different layers. I reckon fired, wouldn't you.

Speaker 13 (11:08):
I wouldn't take the risk myself, okay, But no newspaper
is hard to beat.

Speaker 11 (11:14):
Mark.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, it's good, true, and it's not gonna fly away
because with frosty nights, it's not windy, is it correct?

Speaker 13 (11:22):
And that's what I've used in the mid seventies right
through to you know, whenever. Wow, Chris, Now I've got
a garage, but no recommend that. And if you've got
to cover at home, you throw the car cover. Okay,
it might cost you a bit, but we Savior heating.
And that person who drove down Wigram, well, sorry, one

(11:45):
hundred and fifty dollars fine to me. It should be
more than that because that's that's dangerous driving.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
In my opinion, she should be in jail. She should
be locked up.

Speaker 13 (11:55):
Oh yeah, well whatever, anyway.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, I didn't get the agreement on that. Of course
you shouldn't be locked up. I just want to see
if people are prepared to go there for that, lock
them up, Lock them up for frozen screens. Lance Marcus
did I as a gone good, Thank you, Lance Good.

Speaker 16 (12:14):
I was just throwing up about the hot water. We
use boiling water all the time on the wind screens.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Have no issues, and no one heres apart from that guy.
The paper's mates wives.

Speaker 16 (12:28):
Oh no, of all these years that they've been living
and they've never they've waited with cold water to the
frost the wind screen. I don't believe it, Yeah, because.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I was I was always the one that's, oh no,
you can't use boiling water. I use boiling water. It's fine.
It always has been fine.

Speaker 16 (12:47):
Yeah, we're in the South Island and never hit an issue.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
It goes well, it's quicker right because just this.

Speaker 16 (12:57):
Yeah, and in newspaper there's no such we don't get
a newspaper anymore.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
You can't use Yeah, and the.

Speaker 16 (13:05):
Old eye said doesn't quite cover the whole windscreen.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
And that go driving around with a car full of
old newspapers just in case it's frosty who.

Speaker 16 (13:16):
Disorders maybe.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Old the old in case it's frosty. Occasionally you do
see cars with newspapers under the windsor but does it?
Does you think someone's sleeping in the car when you
first thing what's going on there? I'd rather run the
risk of crack in the wind screen than every to
put reabe if someone saw you put oh, there's old lushy,

(13:44):
worried about worried about the frost. How he comes with
the newspaper? Where you be ridiculed? Wouldn't you not that
I'm that terrified of being ridiculed? Well, actually I am
one of my greatest fears. Someone has emailed me, texted,
I said, they've texted windscreen guy here. Warm water is fine.

(14:09):
The old will of not putting water warm on windscreens
is from pre lemonade windscreen times, pre ninety eighty. Person
they use the garden hose. He is a sprinkler, Richard.
It's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (14:26):
Welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 18 (14:28):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Thank you? Richard? Good good.

Speaker 18 (14:33):
The problem with putting very hot water onto a windscreen,
the laminated ones is it will eliminate the outside glass
from the inside glass because it heats up too fast,
and the sealed between the two will eventually bubble, and
then you'll just have a cloudy bit right in front

(14:54):
of you. Doesn't happen straight away, but it will happen
over time.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
How many times would it take to do that so deleminates.

Speaker 18 (15:03):
Yeah, take about five or six times, and it's just
the heat. One piece of glass expanse a lot faster
than the piece underneath, Okay, and the place lemonade will
actually de leminate and then it goes all cloudy. The
best way to do it this is only because I've

(15:24):
got it on my wagon. There's on my remote. I
push a button and the engine starts and it'll run
for ten minutes. And they're doing itself off. So I
get up in the morning, push the remote, engine starts
and my cap of coffee, walk out cars, warm windows
and clean. Yeah, but it's expenses the vicer like that unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
But first of all, you've got to actually see that
it's frosted over right.

Speaker 18 (15:51):
Well, if I'll look it outside and the deck is
white and glistening, I can guarantee it's frosty, because my
wagon's always back outside.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Must hear from you, Richard, Thank you, Amanda. It's as hello,
my Michus.

Speaker 19 (16:08):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Thank you Amanda good.

Speaker 15 (16:11):
I'm just calling about your whole Delima with the newspaper
on the wind screen. I totally agree with.

Speaker 11 (16:17):
Their earlier caller.

Speaker 15 (16:20):
You know, he's he's he's living the good life, he's
using sustainable products, he's not contributing, you know, he's saving
himself time.

Speaker 11 (16:29):
Come on, just get back to basics.

Speaker 15 (16:30):
Old school newspapers are fantastic.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
You've never done it, though, Amanda.

Speaker 15 (16:36):
No, but I actually no, but I think that if
I lived in a cold place.

Speaker 11 (16:40):
I definitely would.

Speaker 15 (16:42):
And just another point, the boiling water. That's an absolute
no no.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Well no, no, it's a yeas, it's a yes, yes,
I reckon.

Speaker 15 (16:53):
Way, it's a MESSI of no.

Speaker 20 (16:54):
No.

Speaker 15 (16:55):
Come on, if my dad, if my dad heard this conversation,
he would be raging. He'd be like, oh my god. No,
that is just like super dangerous.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
With that generation, they get rock up about about things
that were bad fifty years ago, but now it seems
that it's fine on the modern wind screens.

Speaker 15 (17:13):
Your worldles, I know, right, And this is like a
good one to chime in on. I'm going your way
out of line, I think, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
I don't even know it. I don't even know if
that's sustainable, getting the newspapers out there and put it,
but we'll talk. We'll thank you, Amanda, Ben Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (17:34):
Yeah, Marcus, twelve bucks and team room mate. They've got
the thing that goes over your window and it wraps
around your wings and it sticks to your window. And
I've been using one since last year and I've never
had an ice window and I live in the south on.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Something's already come up, something's already come up on my
feed about Tim. What is it?

Speaker 14 (17:57):
Yeah, I think I think I just sent you a
text through with the link. But it goes over your window,
wraps around the side mirrors, and you put your window
what was on it the section at the stuff on
the side that actually sticks to your window. It's completely
really usable hundreds of times. But yeah, neighbors are out
there with it's called.

Speaker 21 (18:17):
I see.

Speaker 14 (18:19):
Our window snow cover side mars. I think I'm pretty
sure that success you want to have done.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
You're typing to is it a car when seven dollars
ninety nine.

Speaker 14 (18:32):
I was the one I thought was about twelve bucks.
But goes out your window and then it comes around
and goes out of the side mirrors, sticks to your
window and you put your window wipes over it as well.
Just do you know some added petitions.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Is it like silvery kind of slightly petted kind of material.

Speaker 14 (18:49):
Yeah, yeah, and it goes on the outside of your car. Yeah,
and so you get home, slept on here. It takes
ten seconds, then put it off in the morning you
get to go to wrap it up from the booth
or something. Yeah, we've been using it for the last year.
And yeah, pull the Nabors out there with the gather
those and we're good to go.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
So they should be running the country. The TV people
should be running the country. They they're good with what
they come up with. They they know everything, they know everything,
they can solve any problem.

Speaker 14 (19:18):
The Willie House also sells one, but I think anyone's
about forty or fifty bucks.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Someone said real estate signs are good.

Speaker 14 (19:30):
I never used a real estale. I used to use
the old newspaper before we bought this team anything. And
you show the troubles you the newspaper and the benevery time,
so you know, one newspaper don't like to jo, you.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Know, and now the newspapers are small. I don't think
that was a very good idea at all that people
do like the old oh year, but the old it's
petronizing nice being thank you eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine A million texts texts coming in and run
at six a minute. Yep, but I reckon the I

(20:05):
reckon the ca or boiling water. I that's the answer.
I wouldn't make too freaked out by that. But if
it goes bad, don't go through to my bosses. See
a lot of texts. Someone says something about this is
a text I don't understand. Funnily, I've put all those texts.
I read the one I don't understand, but it's got
me perplexed. If it is an email. I use a

(20:29):
small electric heater and extension cord for a few years.
Work great. You can even put a three pin plug
on the dash of flat that dashed For flash ambulances
and fire engines use a plug and water heater that
is plumbed into the radiator hose and keeps them an
operating temp. What's even mean? Ray? Good evening?

Speaker 19 (20:56):
Oh gaycas, Look, you guys are pretty fash. I just
use an old sheet or an old shell curse in
or an old curtain and just I'll keep that in
my boot. And if I have a feeling I'll just
pop that over the windscreen and then when I'm done,

(21:19):
just goes back in the wind. It just goes back
in the boot.

Speaker 22 (21:22):
Uh.

Speaker 19 (21:22):
And then I might use it to put some chains on.
So it's a multi purpose type product. I'll probably have
it saves saves the environment with having a courier or
without some stuff from China or something like that.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Here we go, yeah, mind you yeah, Oh you know
what sort of or do you think they might be
a froust tomorrow? Better get out the shower curtain. Yeah,
that's a sort of anxiety the day before or there
might be a frost and then you I don't want
to be panicked about frosts.

Speaker 19 (21:54):
Oh, it's not it's not too hard.

Speaker 23 (21:56):
You know.

Speaker 19 (21:56):
You just give it maybe one minute of thought and
then you're done and then you can rest easy. And
knowing that you.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
How often you're going off half you know, how often
you're putting in the shower curtain out there, And it's
not it's not a bad not a bad frost.

Speaker 19 (22:12):
Oh look, you know, it's only if I'm going for
a ski and I want to get away early. You know,
I don't want to be waiting around. I want to
be front in the line. So just wake up, whip
the curtain off, job done, and then I'm away. I
don't have to get water around.

Speaker 24 (22:29):
I don't.

Speaker 19 (22:30):
I don't I have to pay for water. It's only
a jug, but you know, waiting for a jug to boil,
or that or that plava. The sheet's on the night
before I wake up, you know, I might run the
car a little bit and then it just comes up
quite nicely, and then I'm away, I guess, and it's

(22:51):
ready to go next time. I don't have to worry
about getting a newspaper.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Y' speigls sense ray. I've got to say that I
always love doing it with a credit. I love that
scraping off there. It's almost like that am, isn't it
that sort of the sound of it the I love
doing that. You should shuffle it all away. Should they
get a different angle, make a big star. You think

(23:19):
all that should be a big enough hole to drive through,
which never is. And then you put the windscreens on
the wipers and they slowly enlarge the area, usually satisfying.
Julian and it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 25 (23:36):
Good. We had a heavy frost in cass this morning,
and I've done what I've done for years. I have
an old single flannelic sheet. I turned the jug on,
I put the micro the sheet in the microwave oven
for a minute, go out with my coffee, throw the
sheet over the windscreen. Within about ten seconds of frost
has gone, pull the sheet off, drive.

Speaker 26 (23:58):
Away is it?

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Can you tell me that again, Julian, you get.

Speaker 25 (24:07):
I've got an old flannel it sheet. I just screw
it up and throw it in the microwave oven for
a minute on high, and then just throw that over
the front windscreen. Within about thirty seconds the frost has gone.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Because I thought you said you bowled the jug. You
didn't say that, did You don't know?

Speaker 25 (24:23):
I've bought a joke to make a coup of coffee.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Were not doing it, so I was waiting for the
kicker about the cup boiled jug. That's what I'll do
with So you get a fled lich sheet and then
you don't wit there that to drive flan lit sheet
and that goes in the microwave.

Speaker 25 (24:39):
Yeah, you mist probably could wit it a little bit,
but then that's another bit of thirty seconds of time waste.
I just find a flannel it sheet, just teats up
I mean sometimes it does depend on you know, I've
got them up at four o'clock in the morning, so
there's not a lot of pair being used. But if
you were up at seven with everybody else, maybe it
might take a bit longer than a minute. But yeah,

(25:00):
try that.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Guys, are you kiss or cuss?

Speaker 25 (25:04):
Cussed?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Okay? I thought you'd kiss. Okay, hang on, did you
invent that?

Speaker 25 (25:14):
Well, I don't know. My father used.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
To do it, and the and the pre bike awave
days to use a car range.

Speaker 25 (25:23):
Uh no, I forget how he used to because he
was in it. You know, he came from England, so
we had a lot of cross you know, most most
probably all the year through Yeah, I can't. I mean
he might have thrown it on the cold rain from it,
but I just just remember that was something but Dad
always said because we you know, when I was younger
and had my license first, there was quite a few

(25:44):
cars at the drive so you were never allowed to
put your car in the garage, so my car was
always there on the street. So I just got into
the habit and that we really only have a couple
of months of prostate where you know, it's no, it's
no biggie. I don't think.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well, all my years of talkbag, I've never heard anyone
to say microwave or flann lid sheep. Let's see it
seems incredibly simple, straightforward and a good suggestion.

Speaker 25 (26:10):
Okay, well okay, I look like if there's money in
it and somebody comes up with a patent, it's mine
not to hear.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
From there you go the old flan lit sheet, all right,
that's better than the newspaper. I like the critic cald
I like to use it like a scrape it all off.
You can get some stupid looking promotional gimmut from the
AA with a smiley face on, but it's embarrassing. Look
it looks terrible. I think some radio station used to

(26:42):
do them as a bit of a like a promo device.
Not for me. The warm jug someone said, flane lit
sheet in the microwaves sounded like a bit of a
fire hazard to me. Man dies and cussed cold, frosty morning. Yeah,

(27:04):
here we go, it's eight thirty six and we've heard it.
I was interested to know how long this takes eight
thirty six. Half a potato, yep, Marcus. In the fifties,
my dad used half a potato and wipe the cut

(27:26):
side over the car windscreen. Then in the morning the
frost will just slide off easily. What you're doing, Dan,
I just it might be a frost tomorrow. Just give
it the old potato, the potato wipe. It's the best
idea yet. A million texts all saying different things. Marcus,

(27:50):
would you use a potato on your portion in the
morning if you had to live outside in the winter
on your windscreen? Marcus, have a big piece of cardboard
goes on my windscreen and in the morning the windscreen
is ice free. Cheers Tracy, Marcus. You can start your
car early and put the driver on to clear the windscreen.
Put the heter onic clear the one screen. You should
warm your engine up prior to driving. The winter reduces

(28:13):
were on your engine, and clearse your windscreen. Go figure.
Wasn't there someone from him to Cargo a few years
ago used to get up, start the car, leave it
running while he had breakfast. Then it was decided. Then
it was the icedy fog read to drive to work.
Then one day someone stole his car while he was
having breakfast. He claimed insurance, but they weren't happy. In
the whole story, made either the news or fair go

(28:34):
because of not happy insurance company can't remember the insurance
paid up or not. In the end, someone says a
scraper is a winner, and that's from a scare, but
they spelt it scrapper. Get some frost cloths and put
it over the windscreen and tuck the ends into the doors. Easy, pleasy.
I use frost cloth over my windows to stop with

(28:56):
the condensation and keeps the bedroom warmer. Evening.

Speaker 27 (29:05):
Tim Marcus, Yeah, I've given up using the water truck.
Now I've got a WISH and it's a better power
heat gun. You sit inside your car while it's warming
up and you use the heat gun on the inside

(29:27):
of the windows.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Wow, your line's not great. Did you say you got
it from Wish and it's a battery powered heat gun?

Speaker 27 (29:37):
Yep, that's the one that's makda p.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 27 (29:45):
Just slot your bettery onto the bottom of it and
you stay warm and you so long as you put it.
When you're finished with it, put it back down into
a a wooden box rather than a capital box because
it gets quite warm.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Is that what it's designed for?

Speaker 27 (30:04):
As designed normally taking paint or wall of.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
It and you do you what do you and you
do it for the inside of the carnop from the
outside to show your lines. Not great to them because
your content is tremendous. Mary, Marcus welcome, Yeah, Marcus, how
go mate?

Speaker 20 (30:30):
Good?

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Thank you money.

Speaker 17 (30:32):
Yeah. I really love that heat gun idea. I had
a not so good idea with the old credit card.
But but the heat gun. I can think of quite
a lot of jobs the heat gun could do, apart
from the missing or the ice in your window. You
could put it, you know, when your gun boots get wet,
you can put.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
It in there the old hair dry or like the
old get them in there.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Yep.

Speaker 17 (30:54):
You can put it in your rugby boots or your
or your mountain biking shoes when the wet. That would
that would be quite nice. Imagine that It's a bit
like putting your wetsuit in the microwave in the winter.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Well and a heat gun and a hear dry.

Speaker 17 (31:08):
Now that you ask, I don't think I'd say the
heat grown is hotter if it's to use for taking
off paint and wallpaper. But a smart idea, and Marcus
will read to go to the field days and build
yourself a new tail span Garrett or the like and
get a big man cave bite cave going, but that

(31:29):
your car is not in the frost that much.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Have you done the Field Days yet? You're too busy,
too busy.

Speaker 17 (31:36):
You are going to I go every second year and
we're not going to go this year. The traffic was
busy this morning, but it actually wasn't too bad.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
They still give you one of those sticks. They used
to be able to get a stick, like a fiberglass
stick that was always quite good.

Speaker 17 (31:50):
Rocks track, Yeah, and you have sword fights to your
brother and it is it still a thing. Yeah, there's
fiberglass ones that you pay for how much I think
the ten dollars or there's these like these. There was
the sort of plasticy hollow ones that are it's quite
so painful.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Now they had a good flick to them. I mean
they're good, but that there's a bit of gifts. They're good.

Speaker 17 (32:16):
Yeah, a stock stick and I think the fiberglass very strong.
But really I don't think I ever broke one.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, I'm just looking at them now. Okay, So when
are you going? You're in the market. Are you in
the market Field Days?

Speaker 17 (32:35):
I've built my I built my garage.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
So you wanted to you just want to go to
the Field Days, will you?

Speaker 17 (32:41):
No, I don't think I will. I was I was
watching Tiradar. Don't think ceremony this morning. I don't get
a bit of phone, but I don't think I will go.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
He's done well with the Agricultural Committee. I think he's
from a farming background. I think he's from the.

Speaker 17 (32:56):
Yeah, he's very good and he was him seeing this
morning brilliantly. They have this weird flag raising ceremony with
a with a bagpiper.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Hang on, were watching it online? We're watching it online, Marty.

Speaker 17 (33:10):
I was watching it. I just saw something at Lunchtrong
on Facebook about it.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah, yeah, a different Facebook feed for me. If you're
watching the opening of the Field Days, it's pretty late, Marty.
I mean it's coming up for your Facebook. Well, that's
pretty rural.

Speaker 17 (33:27):
There's not much mountain bike racing on at the moment.
In the weekend it'll be all on again. Back to
the Downhill World Cup.

Speaker 22 (33:33):
Just yep, a.

Speaker 17 (33:38):
Local boyfriend write Royal Locke Stephens McNair. This has not
been in the media, but he got a third place
somewhere in Europe in a Downhill World Cup race. He's
going on writers in two thousand and nine.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Okay, have you done any research for the layout of
the trek at Paris for the Mountain Bike Worlds for
the Olympics.

Speaker 17 (33:59):
It will be cross country and it will be amazing.
So I don't know. Cross country is starting to get
more and more popular. I'd say all the mountain biking,
it's the most popular. Again, how it's good.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
It's good to watch if there's good because there'll be
drone shots too. Will there be drone shots? They will?
Weren't there.

Speaker 17 (34:23):
Yeah, there's been a there's been a bit of fiesco
because I think some countries get two riders. In some
countries get one, which if you have one guy with
a flat tire, but I sent your GM's only got
one America and France.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
It'll be the last years. I suppose in the future
years I'll have e bikes and there are some sort
of monarchy, which won't be good at all. I won't
be happy. You're an e biker, aren't you.

Speaker 17 (34:49):
No, No, not yet.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Not yet.

Speaker 17 (34:50):
I'm trying to not be an e biker for ten years.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
If I can help you achieve that goal, may get
in touch because they're the Devil's bike Berry. It's Marcus
good evening the.

Speaker 9 (35:01):
Evening markus visy easy though, my fish car and we
and she had taken this lady out on the first date.
They we're at a party and there's always our table
sort of last to leave. It was about of us

(35:23):
two in the morning and we go out to the
car park and all our wooden streams are frozen.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
You know, and let everyone's go. And I jumped on
the bonnet and urn accent on it, and that cleared
the clear very quickly, and.

Speaker 9 (35:45):
We jumped in the car and got home.

Speaker 20 (35:47):
It was.

Speaker 25 (35:50):
It sounds rude, but it was. It was the only
thing we could do.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
It's a very good story. Marry it's a very and
you're married to that woman, now, is that right?

Speaker 6 (35:58):
No?

Speaker 9 (35:59):
We went out for five years and then it didn't
quite work out.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
But still what I started. She must have thought you
liked mcguy over up there on the body.

Speaker 28 (36:08):
You saw I don't know, very good bear, I think, oh, well, gee,
the old doctor Michael Mosley, the old intimittent faster that
died on the grid.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
He was he was all signed up for Strictly Come Dancing,
even the promo shots of him with the mirror ball
and everything. So goodness. Anyway, just this is just breaking news.
No more news. There's the news about the guy from
Mada Kopper. We'll go breaking news with that. Also, they've
got the guy. There's sort of all the roads in

(36:45):
and out there, chick points in the choppers in the air.
I think looking for this guy. Those three poor kids.
It's after the eighty thousand dollars reward with immunity. Sounds
like a reality TV show, doesn't immunity, It's like something
off Survivor. Just heading up towards the news people. It's
all about the wind screens. Wow, the old jug, the

(37:10):
boiling water and the jug and the flendlin sheet. You know,
what sort of lives are these people having? Like that
guy with a heat gun. For most of us, do
you think, oh, well, gee, where's that heat gun? Then
you eventually find it it's not charged. I mean, people
must have reorganized simple lives if you're that focused on
the frost that they know where the heat gun is.

(37:33):
You're sitting in the car, spray and the windscreams and
it doesn't sound very No. I don't know if I
like that the guy sounds to be overtooled, if you
know what I'm saying, like too many tools, got no
need for a heat gun. Oh, by the way, the
new guessket in the in the woodburn a boy that

(37:54):
went and good was My whole plan for the day
was to get that done well. Literally took thirty seconds.
As the jug boiled from a coffee in the morning,
I read it like a real tight gasket, cheap as
where it burns well. Now, unbelievable, you sparingly, she said

(38:15):
with the glue. Didn't listen to that for quite a bit,
and actually very satisfying. Mine has taken a day. The
house was down to eight degrees. It's up to got
twenty degrees as I left, but that took took an
hour for every degree to go up with the old
wood burner was warm when the kids came home from school, though.

(38:36):
That was the main thing bit them both in chess.
There we go, good evening all Marcus is my name,
and here till twelve o'clock tonight. We're talking about defrosting
windscreens and the myriad of different tactics that people have.
There's many different techniquess. There are days in the week.

(38:59):
I've done a show some of this. About six or
seven years ago, people took about never I've heard about
the potato half a potato. I've never heard about the
flanget sheet in the microwave. I've never heard about the
heat gun from the inside. Don't even know if the

(39:21):
heat gun is going to melt the windscreen of what
it's going to do. Goodness, and I'll tell you something
that's one of the toruruisms of talked back in twenty
twenty four. No matter what you mention, whether it be
windscreens or head lies or annoying teenage children, there'll be

(39:47):
someone that will ring up and they say, ah, I
brought something off Timu for that. No matter what it is,
someone's got something off. Amazing that one website can have
everyone that anyone needs. A year ago, no one had
heard of it. Now you can't get through a night

(40:08):
talking talk about that someone talking about Timu or Tu.
I imagine as I talk on the radio to night,
there's people right around using millions of people just on
websites buying stuffing. Oh gee, gosh, there's something for that.
I knew you had gone to a next level. The

(40:29):
number of people I'm hearing about who are buying tattooing
machines or who are buying heartbeat monitors for babies. Sheepers,
Marcus were lived in England and used to get frost
most days. Just go sit in the van with a
cup of coffee and crumpet with a heater and the newspaper.
Someone says, rub orange peel on the outside of the

(40:50):
car car windscreen will never freeze up to radar. Grew
up in or Hinauai. Thank you. Is it near Huntley?
And it was near Huntley nana's old school. Will blanket sheep,
don't freeze. Don't have to worry about frost. Have been
working from home since twenty twenty. Get in touch, Marcus.

(41:20):
As for the newspaper, my dad used it in the sixties.
It always worked. Bugger the newspaper. A bathtowel does the
same job a lot easier. I use a towel common knowledge.
No to hot water. We'll use an old towel on
the windscreen works good throughout the boot. I've used boiling

(41:43):
water works well. I find the car sunscreen fyhand it
helps it held with the wipers, does desiree Marcus. I
think glasses stronger these days. A good thing with boiling

(42:04):
water is that the windscreen stays hot for a while
and prevents refrost. Marcus. The windscreen cover from TAMU three
to five dollars. Magnets around the edges that attached the
windows around absolute gold. I stopped the windscreen ripers. Vertically

(42:33):
split a black bin bag down the sides and place
it between the blades. Do the same for the rare.
Hold the ends in place with the doors, and lock
the car. Easy to remove in the morning. Off you go, Mary, Marcus,
never mind. With a hose and kettle fath clean your

(42:54):
windscreen windows as you normally would. Then debor bit a
CRC or WD forty on a paper towel, rub it
out of the glass and buffet it out. No more
frost able to settle lasts a few months. I've used

(43:15):
boiling waters for years. I've never had to replace the windscreen.
I use a kettle, hot water and Carterton. No one's
used condensed milk. Sort of thing that peop would say
about that cardboard put cardboard. Good evening, Jason, it's Marcus, welcome,

(43:43):
Hey Mike, just s good. Thank you Jason.

Speaker 8 (43:49):
To Really the best way to stop your windscreen freezing over.
Like a couple of people have said, there's actually a
little bit of preparation and put something like a woolen
blanket over it. I think, even though I've never actually
done that myself, I think that's probably best spirit the
problem of using water if it's too hot. And this
is the same from using a heat gun on the

(44:11):
inside too. If you've got a stone chip in your
wind screen and it's like got stars on it, it's
quite likely that you'll end up for crack from one
side of the windscreen to the other. Okay, so could
well cost your wind screen.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
So you say, if it's got stars, what does that
when it's car talk Jason, talk me down.

Speaker 8 (44:29):
It's just like a stone chip. But it's got like
you know, like lines coming off.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Okay, got like six or seven l that's a star. Okay,
that'll blown.

Speaker 8 (44:38):
Six or seven Yeah, even a couple. So if it's
got that, you've got the stress in the wind screen.
And wind screens are probably weaker than they used to be,
not actually stronger, they're actually thinner than I've ever been.
And the glass seems to get pitted in it even
from sand in the air. So the glass definitely isn't stronger, okay,

(45:01):
But just just a little note on a timbou story.
I got a flat tire on my wheelbarer, and like
it was a fifty dollars wheelbarer from the wharehouse on Fishal.
I was about eighty dollars whelbearer anyway, So I looked
at okay, I need a tube from my wheelbarer. Quite
a ten twenty five dollars for a tube, and I

(45:26):
was like coming and hiring, Like do I have to
pay there or only twenty five bucks? That seems a
lot for a little wheelbearer tube. So I looked at
various places and all the rest of it, and I thought,
it's only a little hole. I'll fix it with a
punch or a peer kit. So got online and you
know the local punch or peer kits and that they
were seven or eight bucks go to Timu dollar ninety

(45:48):
nine delivered. It's that simple.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Well, yeah, because it's one of those things I quite
often end up on a holiday with my bike and
have to buy repair kits. And you know, because you
only even need the one patch too, because it's years
you've lost it by the time it comes. So had
you got the rested in this Jason sod a little
bit of a deep dive and take them at the
time of this, had you removed the tire?

Speaker 8 (46:12):
Yeah, yeah, taking them tire off, taking the tube out
just so, because.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Even I didn't even know there would be a tube,
and in them say take the time. If you looked at
the tube, you thought I'm going to buy a new tube,
and it's twenty five dollars. Did TIMU have the tube?

Speaker 19 (46:26):
Well?

Speaker 8 (46:26):
Actually I got online and a place in Haste Things
Reckon they had the tubes. So I took a trip
over the Hate Things like they had a couple other
things to do.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
Went there.

Speaker 8 (46:37):
They were no good. They didn't even have the tube.
It was your online store or something.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
Tube.

Speaker 8 (46:42):
There's the story of an eleven dollars. Yeah, I got
a pay eleven dollars. I thought, yeah, okay, I'll pay
eleven dollars, and then it come back to okay, I'm
gonna have to pay twenty five dollars, and I was
just like, now, I don't want to pay twenty five
dollars for a little tiny hole that I can probably
fix with the punch of a haircit And then like
I say, I got online looking for local punch of
haircits and they were all about six or seven dollars,

(47:05):
and then I thought, oh, have a look on team
what you do and yeah, two bucks free free and
it arrived.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Have a little bit bounce a little bit on the
bottom of the tin that you could rub it to
rough it up a bit.

Speaker 8 (47:18):
Yeah that's the one there. It hasn't actually arrived.

Speaker 25 (47:20):
That should be here tomorrow, but entirely to don arrive.

Speaker 12 (47:24):
Everything else ever has.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
Spoon spoons rather than.

Speaker 8 (47:31):
Well, actually the wheelbarrow wheel bolts in half, so you
don't actually need leavers.

Speaker 10 (47:35):
It's even easier.

Speaker 8 (47:37):
It's just two halves nothing.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
It's a very satisfying thing repairing a punch until you
blow it up. All holds beautifully. Look at that.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
Yeah, so it doesn't and goes flat on your day later.
But you know, I'm hoping that it's only a small hole.
It's in the around the valve, so it's a little
bit of a tricky place. So I thought for two
dollars on a risk it you know.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
You're us I used on the gum boots work quite
well too.

Speaker 8 (48:05):
It Yeah, like twenty five bucks or a wheelbar a
wheel two when the whole wheelbar was fifty dollars. It
seems like someone's someone's making too much money somewhere, you know.
But anyway, so that's a little bit of a t
new story.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Oh Nora, Yeah, let us know that, goes Jason. I'm
all there for that. It's a good price for a
wheelbarrow though, fifty bucks. Windscreens in the defrosting of Peter
Marcus welcome, Yeah, good.

Speaker 21 (48:33):
Look.

Speaker 29 (48:34):
A simple way to get rid of this ice on
the winch screen. Just go into one of the car
access three players, like Super Cheap or somewhere, and you
get to pick a can that looks like a CRC
is sprayed on your wine green. Wow, I be best
droving for years and had always had run on the
bus And just take it out and spray it and
it scorne on a matter of minutes.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
So you spray it once it's iced up.

Speaker 29 (48:57):
Yeah, yes, you just go again and it's just die
screens all I sed uff and you just spray it
on at and just clean and a few minutes. Just
make sure you're not down wind of it when you
when you spray it on, because it's it doesn't get
very good, not that.

Speaker 21 (49:12):
That's very good.

Speaker 29 (49:12):
When you get in the.

Speaker 12 (49:13):
Face, what will they be doing?

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Probably use this mace if you get a tech If
someone tries to hijack the bus, how would they What
will they think of next? Peter? How would that work?

Speaker 6 (49:24):
Well?

Speaker 12 (49:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 29 (49:25):
It's just you just spray it on. It's gone and
the metal must be what would it do?

Speaker 2 (49:29):
It must melt, It must melt the I say.

Speaker 29 (49:31):
Yep, yep, yep, it's all gone. Yeah, it's a simple way.
Just keep up can of it in the car all
the time.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
What's it called?

Speaker 29 (49:38):
Oh, I can't think of the name of it. I
haven't got to hear at the moment. But I've got
one in the car all the time. And it's if
you come out late at night from something and it's
frosted over, you just hop it out and spray it
and it's gone.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Is it super cheap?

Speaker 28 (49:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 29 (49:53):
They have it and any of those CHR accessory places
have it.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
Car windscreen, the froster.

Speaker 29 (50:03):
Here, the ia or what are you here?

Speaker 3 (50:05):
Here?

Speaker 2 (50:05):
In a can?

Speaker 8 (50:07):
It can?

Speaker 29 (50:07):
It just looks like a can of cr C or something.

Speaker 22 (50:09):
You know, to look at it, you know what it's called?

Speaker 29 (50:14):
No, I don't know. The name of it, Alfer, that's
a super brand.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Peter, I do know what it's called. I do know
what it's called.

Speaker 29 (50:23):
Oh yeah, c r C.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Windscreen de Icer.

Speaker 21 (50:29):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yep, pretty straight, pretty straightforward name.

Speaker 29 (50:38):
Yeah, I think I think there's other brands around as well.
But yeah, that's it's so handy. You're sitting in the
cow all the time.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Simply spray at the top of the windscreen and the
ice will dissolve into the build up. The non smear
formula actively fights refreeze and keeps windscreens crystal. It's got
very good reviews.

Speaker 29 (50:57):
Yep, brilliant, I know from experience. And then you can
get the big best wind screens to tell you what
it was ideal.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
What did you do? Did you take the big yellow
one down the harp of Pass? Were you in Auckland
or where were you?

Speaker 29 (51:09):
Christ Church? Christ Church, a bit of in the city
and Richards and the old Newman's when they were going here.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Love's nice to hear from you, Peter, other Peter as Marcus,
welcome a.

Speaker 30 (51:20):
Lot of Marcus.

Speaker 31 (51:21):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Peter?

Speaker 21 (51:23):
Good? Hey?

Speaker 30 (51:24):
Talking about Timo. You try and send something back to
them and they don't want to know you.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Well, why would you with everything's so good?

Speaker 21 (51:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 30 (51:34):
Well, no, the watch kept stopping it all the time.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Stop.

Speaker 30 (51:39):
No, it wasn't a stop watch. The stop what You're right? Yeah,
but he had apparently had to shake it, shake it
to get all the time. I'd expected it to be
a battery watch.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
But how much was how much? Was it fifty six zero?

Speaker 30 (52:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (52:05):
So those one? Is it like activated by the motion
of your movement?

Speaker 5 (52:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Yeah, because if you keep that, if you keep that
on you, it should go okay.

Speaker 30 (52:17):
Yeah, but obviously I don't move my arm or up.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
No, but I've got a lot of those watches, and
even they should go fine. What what which? What it
looks like?

Speaker 30 (52:28):
Even before I go to bed in the ice, you know,
I got I haven't done it all the time, but
every time before I go to give it a good
old shake and not going in the morning.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Well what it looked like? Was it an old hensy one?

Speaker 32 (52:44):
Just an ordinary watch?

Speaker 30 (52:46):
Okay, nice strap and everything and looked nice. Yeah, it
also seemed to lose a bit of time all that
as well.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Okay, have you met and have you not managed to
return it to them?

Speaker 30 (53:05):
I haven't managed to get hold them even to find
out where where you're posted back to.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Keep listening because some of them will know Peter, and
we'll see if we can find out for you what
happened with today.

Speaker 30 (53:16):
Yeah, thanks very much.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Yeah no, I'm absolutely pleasure too. Some of them do
feelt with us the Timmy Support Center. Oh a ono
hundred and eighty eight to nine nine to text. My
name is Marcus. Welcome hitdle twelve. It's all about the watchers.
The ice are one part myths, two part water and

(53:39):
a spray bottle. Ice dissolves. Good text. A lot of
people are putting their gum boots in the microwaves that
are soggy just to drive them out, which is pretty interesting.
He hadn't thought of that. Josh, welcome Marcus. He good evening.

Speaker 24 (53:55):
Oh gods to say thank you?

Speaker 31 (54:00):
Sorry?

Speaker 24 (54:01):
What I'm doing for six?

Speaker 6 (54:02):
Hey you?

Speaker 2 (54:03):
What are you doing this? Pretty interesting noise?

Speaker 24 (54:08):
Climbing a mountain with a recycle band.

Speaker 31 (54:11):
With acycle band, Oh yeah no, a.

Speaker 24 (54:17):
Brick driveway pulling up the bin. Hey look, I don't
know too much about the subject. I even explored all
the ins and outs in different ways and techniques of
defrosting my window.

Speaker 32 (54:33):
But I'll tell you what.

Speaker 24 (54:35):
There is one thing I do use, and that's this
wonderful invention called the garden hose.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Oh yeah, tell me about that.

Speaker 10 (54:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (54:48):
So basically, man, I'll just spray the whole par with
my garden hose.

Speaker 14 (54:54):
Done.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Yeah, but you must be because a lot of people
put the cars packed on street. You know what it's
like now with no one garages and stuff like that. Yeah,
but you're there, you're handy.

Speaker 19 (55:04):
Eh, Well, what you could do?

Speaker 24 (55:07):
It's like, don't boil the kettle, but fill it up
with tap water. Yeah, it's yeah, and you're sort of done.

Speaker 2 (55:18):
I think if you just stay in the car, it's
only going to be ten minutes into it all kind
of decend, isn't it.

Speaker 20 (55:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (55:26):
Yeah, And look, I wouldn't imagine. Look I've heard silly
stories people boiling the kettle. That's just ridiculous. Use cold water.
It's warmer than ice, obviously, and it should just move
that ice off your car. So whether you have a
water pistol or a bucket of water or a kettle

(55:46):
fill of cold water, yeah, it shouldn't be that complicated.
So unfortunate, I'm parked right next to my gardenhose so bomb.
And then again I am in Auckland, so it's not
like you get lots of ice, so it might be
a bit different for the folk.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
Steal soft You guys, go on, you guys go on
about those cones a lot. Eh boy, oh boy, Good evening, Jeff, Hello,
hy magus. How are you good things? Jeff?

Speaker 22 (56:17):
Interesting subject on the ice and frost and stuff.

Speaker 33 (56:21):
Now.

Speaker 22 (56:21):
I watched the program over the weekend at heath Row,
and what they do is spray andy freeze water mix
across the aircraft wooden screen and the wings to stop
at icing. And I don't know how long last. I
think they did it every three weeks. But they sprayed

(56:42):
it with andy freeze and a water combination. In the
seven seven they were doing I think it was a
seven three seven in they head like one of those
sizzer lift things and they lifted them up and it
took them back to we had to spray the whole
aircraft and it stopped the micing. I just wondered whether
it worked on the cow and screen.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
You won don't want happen if they didn't do it.
I've been I think i'll on planes when they have
got ice and they just yeah, it does come off
after a while too. But I guess if it's a
really thought about planes with ice.

Speaker 22 (57:19):
I think to a lot of the wings on these
planes now have heating things in them, but when they're
coming through like a rain storm or something, that's whether
they do two hundred k's now or whatever, it is
just instantly freezers.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Yeah. Yeah, I've been in a plane in that situation.
The pilot said about that, and they just kept going
and then they kind of rectified it. I think they
had to do something for it.

Speaker 22 (57:40):
But yeah, yeah, but I just thinking, wonder of work
on the cap. You've mixed up a wee bit of
a mixed and sprayed up with your garden spray or something.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Although I don't know where you live, but for me
it's only probably too three times a year. I mean
for me and I am down on bluff and in
the cargo where I work, so it is one of
the coldest part of it. We live the year in Cromwell.
But it wasn't really a major problem.

Speaker 22 (58:04):
No, I was. I was brought up Meltain.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
Oh it's good.

Speaker 22 (58:09):
Because I know all about the cold. My grandmother used
to hang the sheets on the line and they'd be
frozen the morning like a stiffer's like a piece of plywood.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (58:17):
Wow, yeah, but no, that was very very cold in
there and there bulls.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Oh okay.

Speaker 22 (58:25):
And when I first moved moved from so.

Speaker 14 (58:29):
When I moved from.

Speaker 22 (58:30):
South On to Bowl to see all these people roam
random hoodies and scarf, I don't what the hell is
wrong with them? Not that cold? No, boy, I felt
it a year later.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
The Bulls a good town.

Speaker 22 (58:47):
That's a beautiful town. Yeah, lots of good people, lots
of good eateries and coffee shops, and people are friendly,
they are really friendly.

Speaker 2 (58:58):
How many people? What would be the population of Bulls?

Speaker 22 (59:01):
Oh, I don't know, I'd say, I don't know. The
rough is probably ninety, isn't perhaps, Oh.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Yes, be bigger, be bigger than Milton. Then you'd think,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 22 (59:12):
Yeah, well, yeah, Milton, I'm going back when I was
only eight years old on there seventy one o troopers.

Speaker 6 (59:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Yeah, it begin to the State High one, State Hiway
three intersection with Bulls to begun.

Speaker 22 (59:26):
That's right, Yeah, and the rat hole is on the corner, yes, then,
and the beautiful meals there and some of the old
shops are sorry going at a fashion since the COVID
there's not many terrasts coming through. But near they're back again.
But some of the shops it is too late for

(59:47):
them there.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
And the the highway is never going to they keep
they keep straightening Highway one. But they've never talked about
it bypassing bulls, have they.

Speaker 22 (59:59):
They have talked about it a couple of times. But
if they do there, it's going to be the end
of the shops here.

Speaker 17 (01:00:07):
Then.

Speaker 22 (01:00:07):
I think it was well as a piecockers and where
they did death and a lot of the local businesses.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Oh yeah, you've got to have the flow through otherwise
it's no good at all.

Speaker 22 (01:00:18):
Yeah, but it's a very very busy place, very busy.

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Yeah, please, you found your spot there.

Speaker 22 (01:00:26):
I'm disabled and either mobility skier or wheel trees and
people are very very good. They stopped and hit me
across the roads and yeah. So but no, everybody's good here.
Everybody seems to know each other. Everybody smiled and said hello,
you're good and all this sort of thing. And you know,

(01:00:49):
it's not like a city. You say hello to someone
normos you've appended them exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Oh, have you been there a while? Have you, Jeff?
For not that long? Is Oh good, it looks I'm
just looking on Google. Episode looks pretty accessible with remps
and stuff in the bakery and the Yeah it looks good.

Speaker 22 (01:01:06):
Yeah, the bakery is now closed. The Bull's Bakery is closed.
There is it? Yeah, that's the one. Then it's towards Martin. Yeah, yeah,
that's the Hungry Ball in the and then takeaway it's
we're still going okay, And the Red Hole restaurant is
a brilliant Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
What what do you pay for meal there at the
Red Hole?

Speaker 22 (01:01:31):
Well, it depends what me do you want? But it's
for an all day breakfast sixteen dollars I think.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:01:38):
Yeah, and then you've got the other ones that you
can goes up depend what do you want. It's like
a smallest board. They give you whatever you ordered and
then you just help yourself to the the veggies and
that sort of stuff and sources you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Oh, good on you for nice to hear from you too,
So thank you for that. There we go twenty four
away from ten. Mike Marcus, Hello.

Speaker 26 (01:02:03):
Good evening, Marcus. Yeah, regarding windscreens, I've always liked to
have a cup of tea every morning before work, and
I believe that a cup of tea is good for
your health and your well being, and you're not there. Yeah,
but with the windscreen, you know, I think we get
maybe five frosts, five or six frost per year in Auckland.

Speaker 33 (01:02:27):
Yes, And I always found myself so I only half
filled the jug to save electricity when you boil it,
and that leaves after a cup of tea, that leaves
enough room to then fill up the jug with cold water,
so it's lukewarm.

Speaker 26 (01:02:46):
And yeah, you're right. That texts you right out earlier
that the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
Warm water.

Speaker 26 (01:02:53):
Well, I was always scared. Yeah, I was always scared
of cracking the windscreen with boiling water, and that might
have been the story years ago. But yeah, they're just
the lukewarm water keeps the windscreen warm and you don't
get a refrost yep, because if I've tried tap water,
and yeah, it washes off the frost and then ten

(01:03:14):
seconds later it's frosted up again.

Speaker 25 (01:03:18):
So yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:03:19):
But just on the subjects of glass, I think a
teacher years ago at school said that apparently or someone
said and that glass is the most slowest moving liquid
in science. And if the shop the old wind shop
windows from one hundred years one hundred year old shop

(01:03:40):
windows like in gray Linen Auckland, possibly they were actually
found to have thicker glass at the bottom of the
shop window and thinner at the top because the glass
over all those decades slowly, very slowly moved and slumped downwards.

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:03:54):
I just thought that was interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
Yeah, and then you can see that distortion. It might
look nice to talk to you. Thank you for that.
Twenty two away from ten. My name is Marcus. Been welcome,
good fresh fish and steak at the Red Hill. It's
a great name for a pub too, The rat Hole.
I presume it's called that thing a tick, Is that right?
But anyway, that's bulls for you. Restaurant menu. I don't

(01:04:22):
know who got that pub now. I'm never quite sure
what I meant about an all day breakfast. It's pretty
much got the traditionals.

Speaker 34 (01:04:40):
Chicken and apricot, crepe, scallops, t bone, steak, Sunday roast
Sunday only.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
I'd go there. Red Attack Kids combo looks no nonsense.
The rat Hole right in the heart. I rang a ticket.

(01:05:21):
Always enjoy pub trivia. Just start your car five minutes earlier,
heter on full on the windscreen. Good to go. Mat
Mark owns the pub. He is lovely always like a
shout out Republican. Must be tough running a pub these days,
you know, I mean if you, because you who you're getting.

(01:05:42):
He lost a lot of people for the craft beers
averager that's there off there at their own special little places.
I don't quite know what the secret running a country pubbers.
By what I hearing about last night, the darts competition

(01:06:03):
is probably the way to go. Get you in there
people and there on a Tuesday, or karaoke or pub trivia.
I suppose to sponsor the local sports team, the rugby
team they come in on the weekend. Yeah, I don't
know much about the pubs. Vnica does a pub a

(01:06:24):
meat raffle at the local pub. But I'm at a
company who one day see how that goes. What happens
every week. I don't think there's any great drama, and
I think you just buy tickets to a standing order
on a Thursday of the pub raffle, the meat raffle anyhow,

(01:06:44):
sawn Ittt's Marcus, good evening and welcome ye.

Speaker 32 (01:06:49):
When sometimes it's patchy, rainy weather, they get us traazy windscreen.
The very simple little trick that takes away the difficulty
of seeing through a team windscreen. Get hold of some
grass and wipe that all over the windscreen, and you
find that the water will run off from the sheet
and you can see through it without any of the

(01:07:15):
streets securing your vision a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
It's a good idea. What does the glass to the
grass do?

Speaker 32 (01:07:23):
I don't know that the glass has got something in
it that.

Speaker 10 (01:07:29):
I'll tell her what the what it is, but I
know that it works.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Often. I think you get you get streaking. It's on
the inside of your on screen. I reckon that's because
like the dashboard, and the plastic of the dashboard gives
off chemicals. So I've found if I had to use
a bit of a decrease from the inside to which
I don't like idiots. Marcus, welcome, Hello, Marcus.

Speaker 6 (01:07:51):
Hey, listen. The icing windshields. Back in the fifties, I
used to use best bladed spirits yeah on the windshield,
and then I'd stick a couple of wages under the
bonnet of the R eight and the whole ear from
the motor would keep it clean.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Yeah, so put wedges to lift the bottom up, would
you What would you do?

Speaker 6 (01:08:14):
Put wedges under the back of the monarch so the
ear from the motor keep traveled through and then up
the windshield.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Does makes sense.

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
Because when you see it forty degree for us on
the old scale?

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Then here, how much is that on the new scale?
All right?

Speaker 6 (01:08:33):
Would never clue they lost me when they changed it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Good only any David Marcus.

Speaker 31 (01:08:40):
Hello, I got to Marcus, you're just talking windscreens. I
just pulled in the grab the coffee and WAYOUU heading north?

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Yes? Thank you.

Speaker 31 (01:08:51):
It's getting a bit concerned about some of those home
remedies of hearing the hearing the ice off, because I
know the I had my car repainted recently, and the
new paint jobs on the new cars they have lacquer finishes,
and they'd be very susceptible to anything like a spirit

(01:09:12):
being put on the glass, because if you've got it
on you paint, you might find that when all the
frost had gone, that you'd ruined your paint work.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Okay, So I.

Speaker 31 (01:09:22):
Well, I just had a look online while I was
sitting here, and one of the products I used, because
it's safe on my windscreen is bars Bugs in the
water to put it in a screen washer, and I
was wondering whether they might have had a product and
a lo and behold, I just pulled it up on
their website and they've got something brand new to their
range called bars Bugs the ISA and it comes in

(01:09:44):
a hand it's not an aerosol, it's a hand squirt
bottle and it's a five hundred mil bottle for fifteen
dollars on the Australian website but super cheap auto or
running it so they probably stock it in New Zealand.
And it's going extremely good right up. And it's safe
for paint. You can use it on glass, headlights, rubber paint, plastics,

(01:10:05):
and apparently is very fast acting. Frost is pretty much
immediate if you've got thick ice. It says it might
take a couple of minutes. But it's apparently very popular
with people going up the mountains for skiing and things
because it's as I say, safe the paint and safe
for the car and very fast acting. So it's a
reputable brand. I've been using bars Bugs for years, so

(01:10:28):
that's just what I thought. I'd give you a call
and maybe throw that in the pot as well. It
sounds like a good product.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Brilliant David, thanks so much, and that'll be useful for
all pearance if you do, you say, head lice be
great to use for that. Get in touch if you
want to talk O eight one hundred and eighty tell
you nine to nine to the text. We're all about
that tonight. Topic that keeps on giving. One of the
great topics is the old de icing in the head lice. Louise,

(01:10:59):
it's Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:11:03):
This is a really nice top pocket A lot of
people can relate to this one today. I have been
or had been a night shift worker out near the
airport in christ Church for many years, twenty odd years,
and one of the best things you could do was
to always if you want, you know, to have your windscreens.

(01:11:24):
Three advice in the mornings is in the summertime, I
use my you know those silver shield things you can
get that fold out and constantina in and out to
stop the sun getting in your car.

Speaker 26 (01:11:35):
Yep.

Speaker 23 (01:11:36):
Use that in the summertime. In the wintertime, I use
it to stop the ice on the windows, so you
pull back your windscreen wipers. You know, pull them back
as if you're going to clean your windscreen. You know
how they can pull out from your car?

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Yes, fold out almost don't they?

Speaker 7 (01:11:52):
Yes out?

Speaker 23 (01:11:54):
Then you put your cover there and it's usually an
old silver foil one that you get, you know, from
the two three four dollars shop. Put it into the windscreen,
put slam your windscreen, wipers back onto it, holds it
in place in cases wind or anything like that. Go inside,
come out. After an eight hour shift. Frosty. Sometimes you
can't even open your car door, but you whip that

(01:12:14):
windscreen off, that windscreen cover thing off, and there's no
ice on it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
The otherwise otherwise it's ten minutes before you get home,
and at ten minutes slow before you're in the car.
That's a great.

Speaker 23 (01:12:22):
Thing morning where you don't want to do. I syr windows.
So all you have to do is put a cover.
Put a cover like there on your wind screen. And
I just as I said, pull out the wind screen,
I FoST slapped them back on, hold it into place.
And we used to come out and just rip it off,
get in the car, turn the car on their way.

Speaker 2 (01:12:42):
Visionary was it frosty the last couple of mornings there.

Speaker 23 (01:12:45):
Are Louise, Oh, it has been in christ Church, but
I worked for now. I got made redundant. Love that
being made redundant out neither you know news here on
post government department. But anyhow, yeah, so that was the
best way all of us used to just put stuff
like that on our windscreens.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Nice to hear from you, Luise, thank you for that.
Lauriy Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:13:10):
Hi Marcus. Hey, that's great use for the sunscreen.

Speaker 12 (01:13:13):
Eh.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
I preference around home here because I use an electric lawnmow.
We quite often got a cord outside. I've got an
old little fan heater. We're just stick in the car.
We plug it and stick it in the car in
the back seat and just leave that run for quite
a while and has the advantages of heating a whole

(01:13:36):
car up and then you know the front windows defrosted
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Does it run off? Does it run? Does it run
off the cigarette lighter?

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
Larry, No, it's run off pair because yeah, we've got
an extension cord for because I use electric lawnmarws around
the place, I've used to get an extension cord sort
of just at the door of the shed. So plug
in the heater and stick in the car.

Speaker 22 (01:14:00):
Yep, what a.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
Hassle though that before you got to go to get
the cord out and put the put the fan in there.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Yeah, well it doesn't take that long as you do it,
but before that it has the advantage of warms the
whole car up. But just on that thing of getting
started on cold mornings. I was down at the tool
Shed today. They've got a sale on But have you
seen any of this heated clothing. It's they're selling to

(01:14:29):
a lot of tradees.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
Now you see me. If you see me wearing that,
take me out and shoot me. I plug in clothing.
What's that about?

Speaker 9 (01:14:36):
Really?

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
You have a little lithium bettery pack. They have best
base layers, plus a whole range of jackets. The Toolshed
brand and also Milwaukee do a whole lot of it.
There seems to be a hell of a lot of
for sale. Eh run for twelve hours supposedly sort of
the special weave fabric, your new painted in febric technology

(01:15:00):
heating elements are woven in.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Yeah, we've bought. You've bought one, haven't you. You're reading
the label? You've got one that you have?

Speaker 6 (01:15:05):
Ever?

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
No, No, I haven't I haven't. I just clicked onto
the tor Shep website again, I was looking at it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
But I mean, you're in aviation. That might get called
up on the planes.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
It doesn't. But yeah, I normally got a little down
jacket that. Yeah, I had to say. I was worried
about these things with a bit of wear and tear.
Where you wonder, you know, if you started getting a
few shocks.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
So do you plug it in?

Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
Well, you have a little pocket in which there's these
little lithium battery. It is a rechargeable and that that.

Speaker 12 (01:15:49):
Sort of runs.

Speaker 4 (01:15:50):
There's various elements around different parts of the garment. Hey,
you can control if you want on the back or
you tell me warm it seems here. And but the
first time today I've seen the jackets. Been around for
quite a while, but I hadn't seen them with the
bass layers, which are they say eight hours continuous run

(01:16:13):
time depending on heat setting three radiant core heating levels.

Speaker 6 (01:16:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
So when you say, when you say bass layer, we're
talking underwear, is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
Yeah? Well right, you would with a thermal you know,
like T shirts or you know all and what the vest. Yeah,
that's that type of thing and it's it's quite thin,
but it's that's that's the preference of you if you
like it on the inside. Where say the Milwaukee brand,

(01:16:44):
which seems to be the heavy duty stuff, that's more
jackets and vests. Yeah, but there is a big range
of them.

Speaker 6 (01:16:52):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
It's quite surprised.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
What's the cost, Like Larry.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
Well the bass layer one, I think there was around
about one hundred and thirty that's yeah, the skin, but
then you have to buy batteries as well, or you know,
your battery pack and charger. Where see some of the
other jackets are up around you know, three hundred and
two fifty, that sort of stuff, but very well made looking,
you know, sort of Milwaukee stuff is sort of tough stuff.

(01:17:23):
But yeah, no, I just wondered if anyone some men
have been sort of wearing it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
What's gonna take it? What's gonna what's that gonna take
for you to get into some.

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
Maybe the sale prices come down with but I'm getting
a bit older them like I. So probably it's if
you're doing the sort of work where you're not generating
you know, much heat yourself, it would be ideal.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
You know what people out what people outside aren't generating
any heat because you're not driving a disk outside, are you.
I don't even know how that works.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
Say if you were just you know, one of the
old traffic management crew, you know, with the old you,
or even sitting around driving some of the little dig
or stuff like that that's sort of having a cab,
it would be pretty good. I'd say, we'll.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
See if we get some reviews for it. Laurie, thank you, Marcus.
That guy said head lights not here head lice. God
help us if someone use it for head lice. Oh,
they said it was good for windscreens and head lice,
but thanks for pointing that out. Be the same sort

(01:18:39):
of thing, wouldn't it He used all the issues kerosene
for headlights, did they not recommended Marcus and ice on windscreens.
Our cops with the new cars have a de icing
implement security store on the inside of the fuel flap,
the tallest similar the plastic scraper that comes with new freezers.
Half the cops don't know the scrapers are there. It

(01:19:04):
is it a sconer? Could someone show me the scoder
fuel flap? How could it work on the inside of
the fuel flap. I'm pretty into that I like it,
but a secret kit Scoda de icea fuel cap, can't

(01:19:24):
kind of can't visualize that is it, Octavia and I
scrape is stored in your fuel tank cap? I found
it on the Scoder storyboard website. I'll just try to

(01:19:45):
look at it visual Oh, I can't quite Oh where
is it is a picture? Yeah, I can't quite work
out is it the green thing, Dan, And it's just
like a credit cat. It's hard to work out which
bit it is so snow doesn't get inside your car
before you brush it off. So I see. The whole

(01:20:10):
point is it's stored externally so you can pop it
back there. But I don't really I don't. I don't
love it because I can't really picture it. If you
go to an image search, Dan, if you go to
image search and then it's just like a square with
a with a sharpened edge. So just stay with scud
of the ice of fuel cap and then go images

(01:20:31):
and you got a whole lot of the green ones.
Yeah it is. It is the clear green thing where
it's got a bit of a rubberized handle. So you
got any cops listening to the show, I know you do.
Just if you if you get the ice, it's in
your fuel. It's in your fuel, it's under your fuel cap.

(01:20:53):
I remember that next time speeding the arresting officer. What
I hate most about the Scots is the name Octavio Marcus.
I'm like, yeah, I haven't seen frost for years, But
then I remember I wake up at eleven am a Marcus.

(01:21:13):
I work at a supermarket and I'm constantly in and
out from the storerooms to the store all day and
going into the freezers regularly. I also have arthriters, so
although I did test and fedic fabrics, I'd be more
than happy to try clothing with built in heating. The
storerooms have rec cold during the winter, especially. Your bosses
should provide you with that. By the way, Carter Gordon,

(01:21:35):
the wallabye he's gone to the Gold Coast Titans. No
surprises there. He's a good player. He's the guy the
long blonde here was always think my hecat always going
to go to the League eight tests for the Wallabies.
By the way, read that article this morning and read
that about the All Black series. Behind the scenes of

(01:21:55):
the All Black some guys saying what a ywl net
was an what is that?

Speaker 6 (01:21:59):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
Can we see that yet? It was all part of
the silver Silver, Silverlight deal that to get added value
from the all black brand by making shows about them.
And they made a show that cost a fortune ten million,
and it's it's the old yawn apparently, So if anyone
has seen that, I was curious. I don't know if

(01:22:19):
the reporter just had an extra grind with the all backs,
but I did suspect that probably that would be the
thing that they would fail at, would be making a
show about them. Yeah, greg Or Paul, it's called in
their own words, that started yet behind the scenes. I

(01:22:45):
don't know if it's been a thing or not. I
don't know if it's something i'd watch either. Twenty five
past ten high being Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:22:53):
Games, Yeah, good thing.

Speaker 7 (01:22:55):
You're bene foss in your word streets.

cars about twenty minutes earlier there where your.

Speaker 7 (01:23:07):
Engine's gonna be nice and warm, and then your whole
car last warm once his dead frosted.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
I guess people might have busy mornings with kids and
feeding them and get you know, I don't know, I
don't know, being I can't answer that if you have
you busy.

Speaker 7 (01:23:23):
If you're busy doing that, you've got time to go.
Just cout you start your car.

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Yeah, okay, I guess people.

Speaker 7 (01:23:29):
Cut since the mate read minus five this morning, twenty
minutes four minutes leave. I go out, start the car,
turn the creeker right up, Tom MG's warm. Really, engine's
safe ready to.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
Go or warmed up.

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
If you still be a car and.

Speaker 7 (01:23:47):
You to start driving it too early, then you got
Ricky mohnor as well.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Will there be a frosternight, ben.

Speaker 7 (01:23:56):
Yep, yeah, I'll say so. She'll be then to be
a minor.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
Sports and I'll say you're probably right. So we're about
to sin bin, Alexandra, nice to talk. Thanks very much
for that. There we go. Twenty seven past ten. Oh wait,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus, I have land
Rover Discovery. I turned my climate control on via an
app on my phone ten minutes before getting in my car.

(01:24:20):
It's toasty warm and the iced and certain land rover
joke here. Well it still works, Marcus. Just tuned into
your program to have a question. Is it okay for
rural mail men when delivering mail to shortcut over nicely

(01:24:43):
kept grass booms and road sides turn them to muddy
ruts and slush. I'll lift a polite note in the
mailbox asking him to drive on the shingle track, provided
he promptly drove over another grassed air causing damage. A
few more days of rain, and our tidy furnaces with
muddy ruts impossible to mow without damaging the mower blades. Thanks, Don.

(01:25:04):
So what you got there, Don is you've got a situation.
You need a kind of a You need a in
and out driveway with the mailbox there. You need one
of those.

Speaker 17 (01:25:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
W Yeah, you've got a design problem there. It needs
to be easy for the rural delivery person. They're busy
people with a lot to do. So you've got to
get up, come in and do a crescent shaped driveway
with a letter box mounted halfway around it. I've seen
the rural people down the bluff road. That's how they

(01:25:39):
do it. They love that because, I mean, the rural
posts aren't going to be spiteful by nature. It's the
layout that's me. That's what you want to do. You
don't want to You never send someone a note that

(01:26:00):
just escalates things. You probably could have put some giant
boulders there. Oh, and that guy rang up about the
team overturn also, if I can help him about that,
I think that's probably quite important. Hard to get the
stuff returned. Hello, Marie, it's Marcus. Good evening. Hello, Hi,

(01:26:26):
it's Marcus. Thanks for calling. Welcome.

Speaker 11 (01:26:29):
Yeah, I was just ringing up about I ordered a
whole lot of stuff and I can hardly remember.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Maybe if you're just being your radio off, Marie, and
that will that will make you talk about well, make
you more slowy, that's right way, Just give.

Speaker 11 (01:26:50):
You out of feed. Yeah. I bought a whole lot
of stuff from rain From and I wanted They looked
like they had some chickens to stand there in the garden,

(01:27:12):
and so I thought, oh, I'll have some of those two.
But when I got them, I thought they were going
to be round chickens. But they were just a piece
of flat board with a painting thing stuck on it,
and you just stuck them in the garden, and very cheap,

(01:27:33):
very nasty, and a couple of other things, very nasty.
And when you get your order, you can go in
and straight away click you want to return. So I
just clicked. I wanted to return. And as soon as
I clicked that, it said your money has been refunded,

(01:27:54):
just like that. And there was a phone number to
ring and it was an I'm not sure there was
a phone to ring and it was an Harris Road
in East Timmacay. And they posted out to me a

(01:28:16):
sticker to put on and a plastic beg to put
the stuff in to return it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Oh well, how good is that?

Speaker 11 (01:28:26):
So it cost me nothing and the refund I got
the refund before it returns items.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
I'm just interested in your chickensbury were they were they
the acrylic chicken outdoor They the colored ones or the
silhouette ones.

Speaker 14 (01:28:44):
Oh, it was a.

Speaker 11 (01:28:45):
While ago now. They were just pieces of wood with
pictures on them.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
But they were just black and white. They had they
were red and they were colored chickens.

Speaker 11 (01:28:56):
Oh no, they're not those black metal ones.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
No, they're the other ones. They're there because they sold out.
Were the acrylic chicken outdoor yard and so garden what it.

Speaker 11 (01:29:07):
Would be, yeah, most probably, But they didn't even look
like chicken. You know, I wanted a sort of looking like,
you know, around chicken, because you can't buy them that
sort of you know, I've seen them that metal in
the shape of a chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Yeah, no, you'd be disappointed. What did you did you
want to create some sort of drama in your garden? Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:29:34):
I just sort of put a few chucks out there.

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
Yeah, what as you do?

Speaker 11 (01:29:39):
Yeah, I don't know why, but anyway, I brought myself
some mushrooms to put there.

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
From lushrooms.

Speaker 11 (01:29:48):
No, I got them from the warehouse.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
How much were they? How much were the two dimensional chickens?

Speaker 11 (01:29:55):
Not very much? Twelve dollars for them all I think
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
How many were they together?

Speaker 17 (01:30:02):
With this?

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Were there seven? Five and two chicks?

Speaker 20 (01:30:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:30:06):
I think that would have been it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
Yeah, it's quite. It looks quite. I can see what
I can see the picture. The picture looks quite. Looks
like a quite a pleasing pastoral scene with the seven
of them, with the five.

Speaker 11 (01:30:18):
It looks good, but it's not when you when you
get it clearly very handmade sort of Yeah, and I thought, well, yeah,
when and I thought, when you go outside and it
gets wet, how you know how long is it going
to be there?

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
So blow away? How would they How were they fixed
in the ground with on a wire?

Speaker 11 (01:30:42):
No, it just had a wooden spear sung down with
a point on it, and you just pushed the money,
but it only went on the ground ground about ten
centimeters or something.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
Of course, they'd be loveless things to make, wouldn't they.
You can't be much job satisfactor with the poor people
making those.

Speaker 11 (01:31:01):
Yeah, yeah that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:05):
Oh.

Speaker 11 (01:31:05):
You can spend all day, all day on tamo, and
I think, cry, let's get off us.

Speaker 20 (01:31:12):
You know, do you think you might be.

Speaker 11 (01:31:17):
Well, you go through it and you think you I
have that, and I have that, and I have that,
I have that. Before you realize then you have to
go back and edit at ninety percent of a doubt
because you really don't want all that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Marie, have you read anything that was really good?

Speaker 8 (01:31:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:31:35):
But I can't. I can't think what I've bought. Everything
I've bought has been good, has.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Been apart from the Chicken Family and the other stuff
you sent back, though you didn't say that something else
that you got was junk.

Speaker 11 (01:31:50):
Yeah, yeah, but most of it's really really good.

Speaker 10 (01:31:57):
Yeah, Okay, Pray.

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
Scossa, well, nice to hear from. I think those chickens looked.
Did you see the chickens?

Speaker 6 (01:32:03):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
When it's fixed as funny out what the chickens would
look like. Oh damn, I click on it because he's
going to couple on the search engines. Just log up
on log on under Helen's name. I think I know
her password. I like the guy that rang last Friday.

(01:32:28):
He bought a tessel jacket because he's a country singer.
But the tessels were printed on, which sounds like one
of the great Temu misfires I've ever heard. I've never
bought anything on Timu, but someone rang the other night
and they are a courier and in Vacago. I think

(01:32:50):
I said forty five percent of everything they sell now
as Timo, everything in them, but that that that's what
they're carrying around. Yep, that's a fact. Good keyw fruit
cutter and slice of forty seven pence. Marcus unkeen to

(01:33:13):
buy a flag pole with flag from Temu, but the
price seemed too good to be true. Jagger cold water
for the windscreen. That simple chairs, John, How would they
deliver a flag pole? I've always wanted a flag pole,

(01:33:33):
But yeah, I think I think flagpoles are going to
become problematic in the future. I've already seen people sort
of into flying provocative flags. Could you be bothered wanting
to wind people up with the flags you fly? So
I am looking at the flag pole on Temu. That

(01:33:58):
seems to be one that goes out from the house
like the Americans have. It's six feet long from six
different bits that slot into each other. It's not like
a vertical flagpole. So it's a note from me. I'll

(01:34:21):
try to get on the website and I'll get stuck
on security verification. What are we going to do there?
Slide to complete the puzzle? Oh yeah, I can see
it go today, yep, voundation successful. I can look at
what that is. Oh yeah, nine foot flag pole, one
piece ground flagpole for outside house thirty seven dollars. How

(01:34:51):
could it come on one piece? I must carry it
for free. But if someone rightly sees who want a flagpole?
You've got the helliard's banging all night, Marc. If you
don't want a flagpole, all you hear all night is
rattling lanyard ords. Looks like all the flagpoles have to
be put together, not one pole, Marcus. I've heard that

(01:35:15):
Timu was subsidized by the Chinese government. They wanted to
put em one out of business and take over the world.
That is why they are so cheap. I don't think
that there's probably subsidies from the government's prevent us buying
things in the past. Would it be French cheese or whatever.
That's probably how business around the world has always gone,

(01:35:36):
as with government assistance often. But anyway, I'm personally not
gonna buy anything from Tim because it looks like junk
to me. But you do you that's my that's my
catch cry. I think, if you want to buy this stuff,
but it sounds to be people are hooked day and night.
They look at the website think, oh, I gotta buy that,
gotta buy that, gotta buy that, and that's a cry

(01:36:02):
for help. Anyway, we are talking about defrosting. You wouldn't
screen or de icing it when you get up in
the morning or at night. I won't go it tonight.
It might be iced over. I'll enjoy that. I'll get
my credit card out of my wallet and I'll go scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape, scrape.
Then I'll sit in the car, I'll turn there, I

(01:36:25):
find a podcast listen to. On the drive home, I'll
turn the ear con up as high as it goes,
and I'll squirt some water on the windscreen and get
the windscreen wipers going back and forward, and when it's clear,
I'll drive home. Be three minutes extra out of my day.

(01:36:49):
I'll make it up on the straight. I'm joking. And
then in the morning I'll get up and I'll cut
a potato in half and I'll rub the windscreen with
the half of the potato. That's what people do, And
then of course it won't settle. Did you know that?
Do you know about the whole potato truck? There you go? Hello, GARYO,

(01:37:14):
it's Marcus. Welcome and good.

Speaker 16 (01:37:15):
Evening, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:37:17):
How are you nice?

Speaker 16 (01:37:17):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
Got ten out of ten? This's in Gary. You sound good.
You've got a little spark in your voice.

Speaker 10 (01:37:24):
Oh man, I'm I'm I'm box of birds. I make
you believe or not. We've stucken before. But I'm sitting
outside a person's house. She's been complaining about dog me
since because I work on local Wafford Council, as we
talked about earlier, so I've had to come out at
ten o'clock to check the sets of dogs are barking
and she's making all kinds of noise, and she's been

(01:37:46):
singing emails every day for the last three weeks. The
dog has had a dog, the woman next door, a
woman extoor complaining.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
So what do you do?

Speaker 10 (01:38:02):
I know because I haven't heard anything at this moment,
But anyway, I bring about Tina, my son who's twelve
years old, to what he'd gets.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
Gary, can just get your phone a bit better because
it's you sound like a good unit, but your phone's
not great. Can you just take your mouth away from
the mouthpiece? But it's quite.

Speaker 22 (01:38:22):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (01:38:23):
Yeah, and a bit more.

Speaker 10 (01:38:27):
Oh, I'm right away from it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
Now, come back a bit more and look the other direction.
So try that then, Yeah, that's a bit better. Yeah, okay,
let's go with that.

Speaker 10 (01:38:38):
Yeah, must be highly sensitive.

Speaker 2 (01:38:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:38:41):
Look, my son, twelve year old son has got tema
and there's a little promotion saying, looks get some people
to get some free gifts that you get people to
join up with it. And he sent it out and
of course a lot of people said to scam it,
to scam and it finally became a family member to
sign up for the tenth one and he just received
ten free gifts from team and we'll make control of

(01:39:05):
your playing a drove a lightsaber for all these kind
of twelve year old things that love. So I thought
it was quite brilliant that actually it wasn't a scam
and in the long run it was actually quite real.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
So he got quite good stuff, Yeah he did.

Speaker 10 (01:39:23):
He got a forty dollars remote controlled aeroplane, a one
hundred and fifty dollars was drone worked with a camera.
So yeah, it was it was quite good, quite good.
I was quite surprised.

Speaker 2 (01:39:37):
You should be using the drone to look at that dog.
Now you could be using that to film.

Speaker 10 (01:39:42):
Oh mate, we've we've got a privacy thing without a photographs,
so no, we can't do it. Had a few photograph
photographs from the neighbor. But we've had had dog control
around three times in the last three weeks. No problems,
but she just keeps like my latest text email came
in tonight at quarter to eleven, So quite out there.

Speaker 2 (01:40:07):
But we're neighbors at war. Well, I mean, once neighbors
go bad that it's a one way street, they don't
suddenly start getting on with each other, do they. They
find a fence at the most at the most simple things.

Speaker 10 (01:40:20):
Yeah, it's really interesting because you've really got to try
and be diplomatic about it. We'll not and these other
people that actually own the dogs. The dogs got shelter's,
they've got everything's all the it's all fine. So yeah,
it's a bit of a conundrum. But I thought it
had come down and check out myself to make sure.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
Okay, stay in touch. Very nice to hear from your
sixteen Parst eleven Marcus. The potato on the window is
interesting as a potato cut in half is good to
rub on. If you get a beasting, it takes the
sting away. I thought it was a lot of rubbish.
Roe I got told I've tried it at work. Cheers,
Jackie Marcus. The auto self winding watch has a manual

(01:41:00):
winding crown, so the guy should wind that watch up flagpole, yen,
lad doesn't ping if your helicks down the pole of
turn or two. Marcus, forget the ice on the windscreen.
I've got bigger problems right now listening to you in
my writing. But wife's snoring like hell. Any suggestions how

(01:41:22):
to deal with this snoring? Marcus? I use my loyalty
card to scrape ice offt by windscreen, but only got
ten percent off. Russell. Quite good, Russell. Quite god, Marcus,
I got an emotional support animal today. It's a pig,

(01:41:44):
well part of a pig. Okay, wet bacon, Marcus. I
use my best Bets racing book pages to cover over
my windscreen. It got scratched. People are on fire with
the jokes we're in masters, and often when we have
zero or minus tips both our windscreen the front and
back of thick eyesight, we have to run the water
over them for Walt to frost them. And sometimes it

(01:42:05):
takes ages. Need a potato, Hello, tom So.

Speaker 21 (01:42:12):
Look in the nineteen fifties, halfway through we used potato
half of potato or foggy windscreens on the outside and
on the inside we use silvo. Oh never, Yeah, it's
the oil. It's the film of oil from the silvo,
which is hard to get now. I'm tried to use

(01:42:35):
a recent time, but in Auckland, of course, I early
had frost two or three times a year, a little
bit more, but I'm sure wouldn't use well, it's no
matter what you call using. You could splash a bit
of hot water on the things, I suppose, but you
wouldn't want too much. But some of the windscreens now
are still like that old thirty seven v eight triplex,

(01:42:57):
a layer on the outside with a plastic. When it
got correcked, you'd see the middle was a film of
plastic and the glass. But you wouldn't want to heat it.
If you just splashed with hot water, it wouldn't cook
it much. But and then does the other ones. Twice
I've gone outside with a vehicle not under cover, and

(01:43:22):
the window ended up in a thousand little diamond bits.
So you wouldn't want to used hot water on that
one either. Heating one side of the glass wouldn't be
a good move.

Speaker 17 (01:43:33):
But there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
Okay, very complicated things. I think they're very complicated things now,
wind screens because they've got thermometer probes and everything in them.
They're quite complicated.

Speaker 14 (01:43:46):
Well, I see, I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
Yeah, I think they are. They always say that, you know.
That's why you've got to get separate insurance for them. Now.
I've been through a lot of wind screens over recent years.
Although touched what I've gone quite well with them. Lately
we're losing one or two every six months. But maybe
the bluff road is better. I'm never quite sure if
it's behind trucks or trucks going the other way sideways

(01:44:09):
that get you. We had much discussion our family about that.
It's still not convinced it's not following trucks, trucks, trucks.
It seems to be a great deal of fuss in
the UK with risheiy Sunac. I don't quite know what
the memes all about. They asked him one thing he
went without as a child, and he said sky TV. Yeah,

(01:44:35):
he says. Rishie Sunac has become a meme sensation over
night after we lift D Day commemorations early to an
interview with ITV in which he claimed he understood what
it's like to go without because his family didn't have
sky TV. Ah. He's been thoroughly mocked on social media
after attempting to explain how he could relate to ordinary people. Now,

(01:44:57):
a fundraising page for Rishi Sunacs sky TV fund has
been set up. Tongue in cheek, what a bad campaign.
So yes, there's a thousand internet memes about that anyway,

(01:45:19):
So get in touch about is anyone? Is it anyone
defrosting the windscreen as we speak? I presume it's going
to be frosty out there. Tonight. I hope so I
think I've aid had everyone too much talk about windscreens.
But yeah, you might have something that's gonna wrap the

(01:45:40):
whole thing up tonight. Oh, by the way, where would
you buy a flagpole? Marcus puts several layers of newspaper
on the windscreen. Under the wapers Deeve Wellington. Hey, newsflash,
no one gets the newspaper anymore. It doesn't work. You've
read all the stories anyway. Marcus, you said you've been

(01:46:06):
through a lot of wind screens lately. Maybe you should
wear your seatbelt. Cut a potato and half rub on
pan before putting pikelip mix and pan each time stops
it sticking. Here's a trick to stop steam on glass.
Rub shaving cream over the glass. Hot shower. No problem,

(01:46:30):
David says Marcus. The windscreen evolution. I can see right
through it. Marcus. Instead of defrosting your windscreen, just put
your rear window defroster on and drive around backwards. All
these are very good people. A really brought their a
texting game tonight. Oh gosh, you white buffalo has been

(01:46:54):
born in the Yellowsa National Park without According to the
Indian Lautoka tribe, Lakota tribe. If a white buffalo I
was born, it means that we must do more to
protect the earth and the animals. It's both a blessing
and a warning. I wonder when the last time one was. Gosh,

(01:47:21):
I love bison. I've never wed some amazed it was
as a child. We must have been read at school
some amazing books about bison and how plentiful they were
and how big those herds were. And I've always actually
probably wanted to see a fairy big herd of bison

(01:47:43):
and what they're like. I think there's private farms with
a lot of them on it. It's a pretty interesting
kind of thing. Bison a massive anyway, a rare. I
guess it's an albino one. Is it albino? Albino? Yep,

(01:48:04):
So that's a big thing in folklore. There in history
are a similar white buffalo was bor of Wisconsin in
ninety four. So they do happen. Christ it's Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:48:19):
Oh Marcus, how are you? This is Chris Timu and
lovely does have Temu getting free advertising. But anyway, apart
from that, I lived in Mossmann in the eighties and
nineties and my downstairs neighbor in Mossman was a guy
called Dean Dean Semma and he won an Academy Award

(01:48:40):
for Dancers with Wolves. He was a cinematographer and Australian
SEMA cinematographer. And he showed me his personal photographs of
the shooting of dancers of wolves and the and the
the how they actually made it look like there was

(01:49:04):
hundreds and thousands of them and in fact there was
only there was only eighty because that's all they could
get hold of at that time.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
Because this is before CGI, because it was nineteen ninety Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:49:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well I was about eighty seven to
ninety three living in Mostown.

Speaker 17 (01:49:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:49:25):
So, and he won the Academy Award in that time. Yeah,
with Kevin Costner.

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
Yeah he did, I did Simit did Mad max as well,
didn't he.

Speaker 20 (01:49:36):
He did one of the Mad Maxes. Miller is the
guy that's behind all the Mad Maxes. But Dean's done
a lot of work. I mean, he's he's an artisan.
And yeah, and the photographs that he has from his
personal wide angle photographs, they were better than the moon.

(01:50:01):
They were just mind blowing of these animals and they
are a.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
Have you got? Because I remember more the wolves from
Dancers with Wolves. It was a pretty good film. I mean,
it's a lot for Kevin Costa to carry because it
was pretty much just a minute, wasn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:50:21):
Well, he was the main player in it. There were
some Indians and a couple of other blokes, but yeah, no,
he had sort of a Civil War military uniform on
or whatever. I did watch the movie once, but I
must admit I was half cut, so I can't remember it.
But it's a very long movie.

Speaker 2 (01:50:37):
Have you ever been big to see it recently?

Speaker 6 (01:50:41):
No?

Speaker 20 (01:50:41):
But I actually I actually am going to revisit it. Yeah,
I've actually got I've actually got a a DVD that
Dean sent to me of a director's cut of it,
and I've never played it and it just sits in
the cabinet, so I must play it. And there's a

(01:51:05):
letter in it I've never even read the letter.

Speaker 2 (01:51:08):
Were pretty district disrespectful for your mate and neighbor to
watch his movie half cut?

Speaker 20 (01:51:14):
Well, I mean you know those were those days, my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:51:18):
There's Mosman for you though, way that's pretty high in
the bottom.

Speaker 20 (01:51:22):
Yeah, well, I used to go to the zoo half
cat and that's actually a good thing to do, lot
of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:51:30):
I'll be to the tar wrong as there recently. There
must have been a cable car that's no longer there,
or a fernicular what happened to that?

Speaker 20 (01:51:38):
Well, you used to be able to come and from
the bottom, and then they used to take you up
to the top if you wanted to go up to
the top, or you'd go to the aquarium and walk
you away to the top and go down. But was
there a through military road and.

Speaker 10 (01:51:51):
Go yeah, yeah, that's right, it was.

Speaker 20 (01:51:53):
Yeah, but I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
That because we were there, we would no, because I
was there too much. We got the ferry and we
got the ferry to the bottom, and then we've got
a bus to the top and then we walked in
winding our way back down and they were off a
league match. No, I don't think it was. Now, tell

(01:52:15):
us something interesting, Chris, Chris, you'll be interested in this right, yeah,
see all he is. Yeah, by the way, most of
the animals weren't there, which was disappointing. But there was
a big construction site because I mean, who'd build a
zoo on such a steep section too? It seemed a
strange place to put a zoo to me.

Speaker 20 (01:52:38):
Yeah, well, well I can tell you the full story
behind that, but that's probably another night. That land was
actually gifted and it was the originally was called the
Sydney Zoological Park and gifted from some wealthy person that
owned the.

Speaker 16 (01:52:54):
Lan next door.

Speaker 20 (01:52:57):
It's a big, long story.

Speaker 2 (01:52:58):
But anyway, what there was a huge construction site and
in the zoo, which I found for interesting. They are
building a very big accommodation complex.

Speaker 20 (01:53:10):
Oh yes, I've heard about this. A friend of mine
is actually doing some brickwork on it. Then stay there
overnight in the zoo.

Speaker 2 (01:53:19):
Yeah, well I don't know about that. That's would you
want to stay on a zoo? I don't really I
thought that was I mean, it's all about it seems
a bit, it's all about monetizing the whole thing. But
would you put accommodation in there?

Speaker 20 (01:53:30):
Well, millenniums will probably go for it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
I mean, you know, you know what there'll be people for.
They'd be for TikTok and Instagram, you know, shots with
you all here? Oh here we are, listen to the
wilbur Look at us, Look at us, Look at us, Yeah,
look at all of that and more.

Speaker 20 (01:53:50):
It used to be halfway out in the middle of it.
There was a convention center. And I actually went to
the convention center for a meeting one night, well one
late afternoon and on dusk, and then they gave you
a tour around after everybody had left. And that was
quite cool. That was quite nice. They'd just done the

(01:54:11):
last feeding of some of the animals that like to
be fed at that time of night.

Speaker 2 (01:54:14):
What was what was the conference on Chris retail?

Speaker 16 (01:54:22):
Yes, yes, it was.

Speaker 2 (01:54:25):
What's your Secrets? Chris Goodness?

Speaker 20 (01:54:28):
Well, a couple of times over there over the time
I speak. Yeah, I was in retail market that market.
Retail sometimes the secrets out.

Speaker 2 (01:54:43):
Yeah, that's that's why it pays in mind on you.
That's what it pays always to be honest.

Speaker 20 (01:54:50):
Wow, I'm always honest.

Speaker 2 (01:54:52):
I mean, you know you're better talk about caller to.
You've got to try, you've got to pull them through
the quarter hour. You've got to try to be interesting
because you go about one hundred thousand people listening. You
can't just come through with any old dude.

Speaker 20 (01:55:04):
Well, I always I have a for different angles, you know.
But I'm I'm I'm I'm accepting to but it was
only I wasn't going to Ring tonight. But you mentioned
the Buffalo's and I thought, oh, well, Dean used to
live near these apartments by the way. These Yeah, there

(01:55:25):
was four apartments. These were the brass Nuts. These were
four bedroom apartments and each one had an internal swimming pool.

Speaker 2 (01:55:33):

plan jeepers.

Speaker 20 (01:55:58):
Oh yeah, well and David glamorous. Both of them were glamorous.
We it was. It was a swinging joint.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
Sounds like it sounds like you should get your mate
to make a movie about your time in Mosman because
it sounds pretty good. Chris, you you know, watched up
from you know, across from the South Island. A couple
of hostesses, you know at the end of the day.

Speaker 20 (01:56:22):
Well, actually one of the other people. And I don't
mean to mention names, but I see I won't mention
the name. But he was a quite a well known
rock star in the seventies and seventies yeah, John Paul Young, yep,
you were going to mention this name.

Speaker 2 (01:56:42):
He had the top all right, he said, you were
