Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings and good evening too. My name is marcushettl twelve
o'clock tonight. I hope it's good where you are, and
I hope it's better by the time I go home,
and that things have got better for you. Low expectations tonight.
I like to come onto a Friday like that blank slate.
Just FYI, it is my birthday today. The reason I'm
admitting that is because last year I took my birthday
off and then last night people wishing me happy birthday

(00:37):
for today. I try to shut that down, but now
I've got to go with it because I can't just
dump people for wishing me happy birthday. So yeah, that's
the situation for me. It's been a good day. And
if those people that need to know my age, it
is a prime number. And if you add the digits together,
that also is a prime number. There aren't many of those.

(00:59):
What's a prime number? My age? It's a prime number.
So and while I working well, it's not like Micheline
has showered the restaurants of Invercagol with Michelin stars and
I don't think they came here. And that's another story
for another night. By the way, what are we going
to talk about tonight? Who knows? It's the Friday free

(01:21):
for all. It's the show that curates itself. I've got
a lot to say, but none of it's that interesting.
I hope the rugby is good. What are we going
to be talking about on Monday? I hope the rugby's good.
I hope it's a good spectacle. And I hope that
the New Zealand Rugby, you know, wherever what they do,
do it right. I hope there's good a halftime stuff.
I hope there's good anthems. I have asked chet GPT

(01:43):
who the anthems are going to be. They've got no idea,
but I suspect they think it's going to be either
Irony Clark, Will Martin, Sophie Morris, Rebecca Nelson or Haley
western Ra. The right choice would be the western Ra.
She's extraordinary. She goes to christ Jute too. For me,
that would be the slam dunk last time at the
Warriors halftime. Jordan Luck, Peter Erlich and the other guy

(02:06):
from Dargall whose name temporary escapes with g that was good.
They did that tomorrow night, that would be fantastic. Who
cares if they copy? That's what we want anyway, that's
tomorrow night. If you want to have your punt on.
Who's going to be the singer? That's something I always
enjoy doing. Who's going to be the singer for the
national anthems? Mark Williams is the other guys thinking about?
Just so you know, there's not much league tonight because

(02:29):
of a stupid state of origin. I love it, but
I hate it. I hate it because it just recks
the weekend of legue. Either side of it, you get
the B teams. It's not good. I wish it was
the end of the season. By the way, I heard
a good suggestion from someone from one of the sport
rooms at z B. They reckon with the World Cup
of Soccer, you should have the penalty kicks before the match.

(02:51):
Not a bad idea, is it? And then you have
that in the pocket. So if a night it was
a draw at the end, you know each team was
gonna win. Be like the curtain raiser or the raising
of the curtain? What do they called a curtain raiser?
Funny on Express, isn't it. So there we go. So
that's me. I'm here with a new day, in a
prime number day. And I don't think I've ever admitted
to having a birth down here beforecause've boy just said oh well,

(03:12):
we'll just kind of get through it. But since I
had last year off it was fatal, what are we
going to talk about tonight? Well, who knows. In Australia
this panic buying for eggs because of bird flu, and
we might have bird flu in New Zealand because they
are testing a bird that's dead on the Farewell Spit.
I don't know if you've ever been to the Farewell Spit,

(03:32):
but I went there with my family this year and
it would be one of the best things I have
ever done. I found that trip unbelievable. But they have
found a dead petrel, a giant petrel. I know the
guy will have found it, be the guy that drives
the bus because he was onto everything. It's not unusual
for birds to wash up, but they wonder if this
one could have the bird flu, the flu of the bird.

(03:55):
So there we go. That's what's happening there. I don't
know what's going to happen if we get the birds
here the bird flu. I don't know if I ever
start panic buying eggs, put them in the freezer, because
you put them in the freezer, I'd buy the always
keeps secret in politics is out. Michael Laws will be
running for White Tucky for New Zealand first, and he
wants to be the Minister of Broadcasting. And if he's

(04:18):
the Minister of Broadcasting, he wants to get rid of
Radio New Zealand, which isn't great for the people that
work on that station to think that there's going to
someone someone's desires to come in and make your job
no longer tenable. And I'm team broadcaster, but that's the
situation for him. I've worked with Michael Laws because he
worked when I was on radio and Radio Live. I've

(04:38):
never known anyone that loves an argument as much as him. Yeah,
so I feel sorry for the guy that's running against him,
because man, no, man, is he loving it and he's
extremely good at it, like World University Debating Champion or
something like that. So yes, so yeah, I reckon if
you're running against him, just to do your campaigning online.

(05:01):
You know what to be, you know what to be
a you know what to be in a town Hall
with him. He'll set us our mind on you and
he will dismantle you. But anyway, so more of the
same saying. I think he's been a polity since nineteen ninety.
I think when they had Ruth Well, I think it
was the mother of all budgets. I think that's last.
It was a national that he went to New said
in first. So that is that too, So you might

(05:23):
want to mention that also tonight. So there's a bit
bobbling around tonight, bobbing around, if that's the right expression,
bobbing around. I see the Evandale r essay is to
close too. Just some discussion, a bit of discussion about
the r essays last night if you met the tail
end of the show. Oh bit of traffic going on
to tonight too. We're expecting snow. We're going to Dunners

(05:44):
on Sunday, so I reckon it's going to be snowing
on the way back. They're expecting snow for Kluther. I
can't wait. I love snow. We need it. So it's
looking like it might be a This might be the
first decent dump anyway you can. It's Marcus. Good evening,
Just a.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Quick one, happy birthday by the way, Oh, thank you Kem.
You actually share my father's birthday and he's eighty today,
is he?

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
And I knew he was going to go to the
Fisherman's table just at pi Ockeriki there and I knew
he'd turned up at twelve, so I had a bottle
of scotch and the car there ready from my dear
wife dropped it off.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
So oh, you didn't go yourself. You just seen a
bottle of scotch and your wife.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
So I've been with Towerpo today. I'm just coming back
from South Boast.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
So that's a nice thing to do. What if he'd
rank much of it there?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Oh no, I think he reserved that official occasion of
I think we've got him Atalliska ten. So he'll help
nit the top off that and we'll have a bit
of a rubber around the gums that somewhere around at
his house doing the lawns.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
I think we've heard a bit of talk back about
the Fisherman. It's a bit of an institution, is it.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Oh, it's phenomenal. I think the view is second to none.
It's been there for years or I remember going there
as a kid.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Is there music there as well. Did someone say that's
a place is it?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Tell me?

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Ab So the Fisherman's Table restaurant. Okay, it's just been
there for years, bloody good seafood. And but you might
be thinking of another venuine park off there.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I might be too. Hey, so what he would have
gone on his own? You're having the bottle of scotch.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Don't know him and his wife?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh god, oh brilliant. I'll go up excited about that.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Okay, Yeah for eighty today.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Wow, will you get to see him today or your
mister window?

Speaker 4 (07:35):
No, I'll go around and I'll go around and catch
up with him tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Brilliant. Okay. Is that you're part of town as well?

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, there's round the Cavity Coast there.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Much drama on the roads that you're driving back.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
There's a lot of cops actually just start around Martin.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, I think hang on, I know this from talkback.
Marton is like mad Cop Central. They're fixated there with speeding.
That's like where they all hang out.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, they've got those speed traps that everyone heading up
to the Skifields tries to it up early in the
morning and bush up there.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's the snow text the extra bit you play for
the road up there.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Ah, it's that's all right.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
I'll leave you time.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Mark, good on you cam brilliant in and out. That's
what we're like. Sixteen past day. That's got the whole
birthday stuff out of the way. Get in touched you
on a talk on air. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty. By the way, the Iran Supreme Leader's funeral
is going to happen. That I wasn't expecting that. I
don't know where the body's been, but as funerals happening now,
millions are attending. That's a big deal. I don't know

(08:39):
why they've held it till now. So that'll be one
of those ones we'll see footage of millions of bodies,
throngs of bodies around the coffin. That's the way that's
going to happen. He'd been the leader for a long
long time. So to keep those texts coming through too.
As I say, if you want a text, nine two
nine to two, and if you've got if you've got
anything else that you want to talk about, be lovely

(09:00):
to hear from you. Hi, Marcus world Cup. I was
five years old and remember listening to the England football
team singing back Home in nineteen sixty six and we
won the World Cup. Happy days. Would love to hear
that song again. I'm now sixty five, Lowell Kate White,
it upper brilliant. Happy birthday, Marcus. Yes, I'm looking forward
to Michael versus Heather round two. I don't remember round one,

but yeah, maybe I do. Anyway I get in touch,
you want to talk on you and one of us, Marcus.
Welcome the anthems the rugby? Will they Boosavia because it's
christ Church? What about the World Cup? Interested the teams
in the World Cup? I did my research the three
host nations and all the other ones are Europe or
South America? Was Central America? I think South America? No Asia,

(09:44):
no Africa, no Australasia, no Antarctica.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Today I was thinking about continents and I couldn't remember
how many there are because I said you something? Did
I often think about we never say we're part of Oceania.
Do we like your Europe and you're European? But we
never say we're Oceanian. I don't think of us in
New End. We think of as belonging to a continent
do we. We don't say we're Australasian, So for Kiwi's

(10:10):
continents don't even really count. So I'm down on continents.
Are there's seven?

Speaker 7 (10:15):
Now?

Speaker 3 (10:16):

Wow?

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Did you give him fifty dollars in an envelope?

Speaker 10 (10:34):
No?

Speaker 9 (10:35):
I paid for his ski trip that he's going to
be taking later in the month. Wow, that was generous
and he was more than happy to accept that instead
of a gift that he can unrap.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
Was he gracious? Did he thank you? Because kids are
bad at that, aren't they?

Speaker 11 (10:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (10:52):
No, he did. And his parties tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (10:55):

or something at six. Is that what they're going to do?

Speaker 9 (11:01):
No, he's sleepover tonight with some of his friends and
no gebt they'll be up till all airs.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
They'll wreck the weekend because it'll be grizzly. The worst
thing ever is a sleepover. Strong opinions on sleepovers.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
It's sixteen, it's probably a bit different. They'll just all
be playing computer games.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
They'll be playing Grand Theft Auto or something.

Speaker 9 (11:25):
Oh no, more likely Fortnight or something.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Oh yeah, okay, well yep.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
And then tomorrow it's more like family and friends going
to have a late afternoon tea slash early dinner.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
He sounds like it sounds like a big deal. Is
he the only child or something?

Speaker 9 (11:43):
No, but the next one is about to turn twelve
in another month, so two months. So yeah, in our family,
you get parties when you're one, two, three, four, five, thirteen, sixteen, eighteen,
and twenty one fifty.

Speaker 9 (12:45):
Well, it could be.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
A case or something, be something.

Speaker 9 (12:48):
Or a little side table or I'm just trying to
think what else.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
I know that I was surprised how much MDF was
in the last thing. He felt it would work, because
we now would work. It was all quite good wood.
But I guess you can't get the good wood anymore.

Speaker 9 (13:03):
No, it's probably to expense either.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
I'm thinking all the costs her up have you have?
You're given Fortnite Ago? Not me.

you correctly, but Morocco was still there from North Africa.

Speaker 13 (13:47):
Year.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, there we go. Shows that chet GPTs let me down.
So that's good. I'm excited you've told me about that.
So there we go. What where did I go so
wrong with that? How did I get the wrong information
so wrong? I wonder where did we see that? I
thought that that's weird. Oh ye, you're quite right, Morocco
is still there. I'm pleased with the immediate fact checking

(14:08):
of this show that we get the information of the
right information. This is a nice text, not a whole
bloody night on birthdays. I hope everyone has one for
Christ's sake, will not the babies that die young? I mean,
not everyone gets one, But I'm just doing what I
can people, you know, But I'll tell you something about
the Texters. Some of you Texters are getting a little

(14:31):
bit what the word is. But good on you. Godness
laws can fight for the residents of twice or before
they all die of silicosis due to inhaling all the
airborne glacier rock disposed dust exposed from lowering Lake Pukaky
five meters. I don't know about that. And then a

(14:51):
lot of texts saying is Morocco not Africa? And Guard
is still there? So nor everything I said, that's a
selling it lesson about chet GPT. They put me down
down the wrong street with that one. Twenty four past eight.
You want to talk on air? Eight eight eighty Oh,

Speaker 2 (15:25):

Speaker 7 (15:27):
So?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
In terms of apology, I think I've just got everything
wrong as far as the World Cup teams go. Just
about to read out the list of all those ones.
So yes, I don't know where I've got that information from.
I thought some of those those that got the teams
down quickly, So yeah, I apologize for that, but you
people are very quick to correct me. There's all sorts
of teams that are still there. So yes, that's a situation.

(15:50):

(16:37):
and eighty ten eighty and nine nine text if you

nine away tonight next showho that three isn't about the
They must have a much better medical system than us.
If you get a doctor's appointment that next day, goodness
be months here would work. dB Markets welcome, good evening.

Speaker 15 (16:58):
Good evening, and congratulations on being one of the fifteen
thousand odds people having a birthday today?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Wow, would be that many? Would it? Goodness?

Speaker 15 (17:06):
Well, five and a half million divided by three hundred
and sixty five was the calculation.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I ran, are we five and a half million?

Speaker 7 (17:11):
Now?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Jeep?

Speaker 15 (17:12):
Something like that? Anyway, and continuing your score tonight is
not getting a lot of things right. There's a new continent.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Ah, yes, I'm aware of that. But then, but no
one's good. No one's calling it a new comp what's
the definition of a continent?

Speaker 8 (17:29):
dB?

Speaker 15 (17:30):
Whatever the quinity heads want to call a continent? I
guess yeah, continue contiguous land mass that can be defined
on a tectonic plate. I just made that well up,
but it sounded good. But yeah, Zeelandia. So we can
now stop calling ourselves whatever. We could call ourselves the lambiens.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
But if you're if you're if you're the only country
in your continent, like Australia Australasia. The audios don't call
themselves Australasia. It's called themselves Australians, don't you.

Speaker 15 (18:05):
Okay, what about Asians call themselves Asia?

Speaker 3 (18:09):
You're there more than one country in that continent.

Speaker 15 (18:12):
Yes, you're just saying we've got more than one country.
If I'm look looking at this map. Yeah, New Caledonia.
Also just above the water.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
It's Norfolk Island on the Norfolk Island, part of Zelandia.

Speaker 15 (18:28):
Yes, sorry Norfolk.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yes we should embrace them. I'd like to go, but
I'd like to go too, but it hasn't happened for me.

Speaker 15 (18:42):
Them to New Caledonia. They on French studies.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Oh they always setting them up there, didn't they. They're
not going as much now because I think the I
think that the they have a different post colonial future
and there now I think that's probably it's not the
calm Gallic island that it was for a while.

Speaker 15 (19:06):
I think that might account for a lot a lot
of the world. Unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, I think you might be right there.

Speaker 15 (19:12):
So anyway, that's what I had for you. Just know
we are now part of Zolandia. We could call ourselves
what we would like us.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Guess nice to hear from you, dB. Thank you. Sorry
to bring it down with post colonism at the end
of it, but I guess that's it. But people like
go and you when you kind of don he seem
to be the future didn't But howevery really people go?
I don't know what to make of that. And no
one goes much to Norfolk Island because the flights aren't
what they once were. It's very hard to get to
For a while there, everyone was up there buying cheap lego.

(19:43):
And I think it's very famous for a continuous supper,
you go from house to house. It doesn't that sound good?
Be in touch if you want to. By the way,
if it is your birthday today, and happy birthday to you,
you are on a day that is the two hundred
and ninety first most common day. Yep, I'm ever excited

(20:04):
about that, or not the least calm day as the
second least common day the law. But come down to
elected cesarian, I think it'll be Christmas Day or something
when the hospital don't open Christmas Day, Boxing Day and
New Year's Day. Bob, this is Marcus. Marcus, this is Bob.

(20:25):
Good evening.

Speaker 8 (20:27):
I thought i'd give you an update on the hip
operation saga. I'm now being put on a seven week course.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
At the hospital.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
I got to go for seven weeks with a therapist
and a nurse and at the end of the seven
weeks they then assess where they think you're at and
how how urgent your operation is in the mean bob?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah, how's your acting skills?

Speaker 8 (20:51):
I'll be pretty bloody good, mate, don't worry about that.

Speaker 6 (20:54):
Actually, I don't have to.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
I don't have to.

Speaker 8 (20:56):
Try to hard Marcus. Because on Saturday night I was
playing dance at our local hotel. I don't drink, so
I wasn't drunk and I went to pick up a flight.
I didn't have me stick with me, and of course
I fell forward, rocketed across the bar at one hundred
mile and now smashed my rib cage on a bastard
whend of our table. So I'm not very agile at
all right now, She asked me, can you come next

(21:18):
week for the course? I well, don't blame me if
I can't contact Because I joined a I joined an
old people's singing. I thought it was an old people's
singing and it was going to for exercising, you know.
I thought, well, I'll do what I can. I turned
up there and honestly, market they all looked like they're
ready for the Olympic bloody games. Like god, I thought
I'm out of my league here. I thought it was

(21:42):
going along to throw a crochet ball.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
But oh no, what are they doing? What are they doing? Oh?

Speaker 8 (21:47):
They were, you know, the buns on one leg and
then you had to close your eyes and put one
foot forward and one arm out. And even if I
was splitting, well, I wouldn't have been done on follow
the instructions. So I sit to the lady as I've
just got to go to the toilet. Well, I got
out of there bloody double quick and I'm gone. You

(22:10):
never knew what I never knew about bruising. I got
a big whopping grape bruise down the side of me
ribs Like you didn't crack or break the ribs, but
of course you don't know when you do it. It
takes another two or three days for the bruising to
come out. And I thought to myself, what I am.
I'm in so much bloody pain. So I had a
look in the bathroom mirror and there was a bloody
bruise aside, Have.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
You cracked one of you? Have you cracked one of
your ribs?

Speaker 16 (22:35):
No?

Speaker 15 (22:36):
I didn't.

Speaker 8 (22:36):
That was a good part about it. So but but
it was a bloody painful exercise and I don't wish
to have that happen every weekend.

Speaker 7 (22:44):
There would be.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Anyway, there would be many that played darts with a stick,
would there?

Speaker 8 (22:48):
No, no, well, it was what happened was that there's
a firing guy that place in Nelson, and they come
down to visit us, and we gone visit them and
the social clubs, you know, and when you had these games,
and so I played darts and we'd dits and your ginker.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
And pool and yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:06):
But anyway, my.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Dads weren't actually getting into the board, so it wasn't
much helped anyone. They're falling on the floor before they
hit the board.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
What's your walk on song, Bob?

Speaker 8 (23:15):
Well, I didn't have one. I think the walk on
song as far as they were concerned with, he will
get this man off here?

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Do you talk about? Jinger? Jinger?

Speaker 8 (23:22):
What's that you know where you build the blocks up
and you have to pull a block out from between them?

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Oh yeah, well they don't. The pub the pub suitit now.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
It was such a simple excide or game what we
like to call it. But man, heaps and heaps of
people got in bold. I was quite surprised of that. Okay,
yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
It was a giant jinger yeah.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, to keep putting them up,
putting them up, putting them up. Some people had to
get on a cheer though.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
So this is I heard Star and Garter in a
social club and don't drink, So you don't drink, but
belong to a pub a pub social club?

Speaker 7 (24:02):
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (24:03):
Correct?

Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (24:03):
We had a Christmas dinner there last year and the
only person in the that won the rapper, which was
the beer fridge, was me.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
I donated it back to them again and they wraffled
it off on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
That's the right thing to do. And so this pub
is called what.

Speaker 8 (24:18):
Well we're wearing Springsland, Tavern and Glene. But the Star
and Gardic crew came down and spent some spend every
now and again, and we go up there and have
a social with them every now and again.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
And where's the Star and Garter?

Speaker 8 (24:31):
Richmond Nelson?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Oh brilliant god. This is a good year in the
quiet the life depart from your bruising.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
And your and yet I get around it.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Did they say how many people will be there for
the seven week course?

Speaker 8 (24:44):
No, no, they never mentioned it.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
You're in law, you'll be competing each other.

Speaker 8 (24:49):
Well, my brother in law actually went on it and
I went to the hospital and I asked him about
it only two weeks ago, and they said, I know
the funding thing will throw and we don't run it.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
I said, well, I'll leave you.

Speaker 8 (24:58):
My phone number here in case anything changes. And then
the other day the woman wrung me up and said, no,
it hasn't been counseled at all. But the funny thing
was I went up there with to splunge once here
a couple of weeks ago, and I had to go
back to the A and E because I wasn't sure
about this bruising when it was doing what it was
supposed to. And she said, oh, you're in room too,
and I went in and I said, hey, I said,
someone's been using my jolly room where I haven't been here.

(25:20):
But it was quite funny.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
So will you just so, what's the what's the purpose
of the seven week course to prove that you need
a new is a whole course for seven weeks just
to prove it a new hop?

Speaker 8 (25:32):
Yeah, that's the only way of getting yourself up the
list of it. So if you're not, if you're not,
you know, if it's obviously it looks like you're about
to collapse or something, then you'll get put up the
list further and they have a nurse there that assess
you you and then a physio that assesses you.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
So the crypton fund, that krypton, you've be doing different
tasks to see it. Sounds terrible, sounds dignified.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
The funny thing is that my brother in law did
fall off one room.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
How did he get this new hoip?

Speaker 8 (26:02):
I don't know if he was going there for a
new hip. I think he just said artur root retic
problems or something. I'm not quite sorry was the it?

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Okay, it's all very good with your keep us posted, Bob.
You've made a night with your ginger Jinger Becuse it's
like the this is like the Hunger Games for operations.
Not good, Simeon, It's not good at all. By the way,
they've changed the laws. Now children and their parents can
ride on the push on the footpath. Now I have

(26:31):
got that bit of information right. So if you're out
and about and see that happening, that's now the law.
Often parents wondered why their kids couldn't run on the footpath.
Now they can. That seems sensible. It's kind of weird
how we're so fixated away what people do on the
footpath and what people do on the road. But the
footpath is becoming more like a common ground for all
sorts of people, children and their parents, caregiver or gardener,

(26:54):
guardian or an oldest sibling. East Scooters can be on
bike lanes and if you're overtake your horse you must
give them one point five meters or a cyclist or
another road user. I don't know if there is talk
about catting up for you, but if you're one of
those people that wants to ride on the footpath, brilliant
the word an unpleasant experience. The other day with a

(27:15):
CAI came behind me on one of those scooters, ding
ding ding he did. I thought, we'll just go on
the road. Felt like quite, this is an inver cargo.
No one writes scooters an invert cargo. Ding ding ding
He was on this ding ding ding. Always looks so
self satisfy those people on those scooters, don't they with
their stiff posture? Ding ding ding?

Speaker 17 (27:35):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Do we know who's going to do the national anthem tomorrow?
Who can sing in christ Church when properly? Get Jordan luck,
But he probably wouldn't do it. That's the question. I
don't know who it's going to be. They like someone
that's got a rugby connection, that Nickafara or that Judd Arthur.
But you know, Wellington's easy because it's there's local people
there like Ainsley. But christ Church I'm not sure about.

(27:59):
That's one of the things I do occupy myself with
before rugby tests, think about who's going to sing the anthem?
And I apologize giving you such bad information about the world.

Speaker 18 (28:06):
Can up.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
I told my kids that too. I hope they haven't
gone around school and said, oh, these are the teams
that are out because that was misinformation, fake news. Did
you see old Trump stage falling on the dances today?
Look bad? Didn't that look janky? I By the way,
there's been an instant between a horse and a vehicle
and swan and hoer that's in Canterbury. Person was seriously

(28:29):
injured in a vehicle collision with a horse. That was
just before seven pm. So I've don't presume I be
riding a horse that time. That must be so a
horse that's gone out of a property, would it be?
That would be my imagination, So that would be what
I would imagine. But yes, get in touch of your
to be part of the show tonight here till midnight.
Most common day to have your birthday the twenty seventh

(28:50):
of September, then the third of September, and then the
twenty ninth of September, and then the twenty eighth of September.
So it's all about that last week in September. In fact,
September is the big month for birthdays in common. And
you'll know that you'll see the prams and the new babies,
so make of that what you will. And it's interesting.

(29:10):
We get all those statistics now if you want to
talk on it. That's the plan tonight. Oh eight hundred
and eighty. How does it work with Asia and Europe
joined one land mass but two continents. I don't know. Marcus,
Heather and Michael interviewed. That was very good, both with
amiable and gracious greetings. And people say the moon tonight
is a weax wax and gibbis. I think it is.

(29:33):
By the way, I'm not a fan of different phases
of the moon or knowing what they are like. That's
never interesting to anyone. It's only about two years ago
over and you there were different names for phases of
the moon with wax and gibbers and stuff. But I
guess just if you want to watch the chase, it's
not really that interesting twelve to nine. If you want
to partake some of the other stuff I can tell
you about today that you might be interested in. The

(29:55):
Tour de France starts tomorrow, though the heat could be
a problem. Yeah, it is eat beans Day, and I did.
I love beans, love love beans cooked from hard, you know,
not in a tin. Love them. Keena cooking beans is
boiling them really hard at the beginning to show them
whose boss. Everything I've read about that sees what. That's
what you've got to do. Black beans pinto anything, really

(30:18):
bore them hard, just at the beginning to put them
in their place. Then on the low simmer to chuck
a bayleaf in there, a couple of clothes of garlic.
Brilliant anyway, So I'm happy today has been eat beans day.
Bean selling not keenan don't like a cold bean tasted,
but like sort of taste like supermarket food you get
at the Dell. Isn't it but gee cookeed buttery beautiful.

(30:40):
Everyone says they're good for it. No one says limit
your beans. Do they or maybe jelly beans anyway, from
eleven from nine Headle twelve Diana and smrcus Good evening
and welcome, welcome to the UA Gooding.

Speaker 19 (30:53):
We're just drinking to leap to know. Who was the
first person on my computer when I opened that today
on it.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Like the first picture of them?

Speaker 19 (31:02):
Yep, I don't know you you know, like Facebook was
Michael Laws. Wow, well I thought that was fabulous.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Are you and his electorate?

Speaker 19 (31:15):
No, no, I'm not, it's just you did. They used
to be on talkback radio or something.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
So there was there was a show. There was a
stage you Got Ready Alive that would have started in
two thousand and four and in its first incantation I believe.
I think Martin Devlon was in breakfast. Michael Laws did
nine to noon. Ah, that's and he was also the
mayor of Fanganui at the time. And I was on
in the evenings, and there were some other people in there.

(31:42):
I think Paul Henry for a Wilder Drive, yeah, and
and to No not on that one, I don't think,
but Mark Bennett and I can't think who did the afternoons.
It was John Tummy Hitty and Woodie Jacks. Eventually, but
there was someone before Kerrie. Kerrie Smith was the lineup,

(32:03):
so it was yeah, it was Martin Devlon, Michael Law's
Kerry Smith. Oh quite a few, Yeah, yeah, and it
was nationwide, I think you but yeah, he was. He
did the he did the morning talkback show and because
you know, I loved an argument that Michael and he
was great at it.

Speaker 19 (32:22):
Oh yes, now he is very good. I probably sided
with some more more times than not.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
I'd say that's a worried Diane, But thank you. Well
he's there now, he'll be on his way back. They'd
put it at the number two in the list, surely
after Jones is spending in for the limo that perhaps
was not needed. Seven to nine. This is interesting. Someone
has said kids allowed to ride on the footpath. Why
couldn't that a rule have been made sixty six years ago?

(32:48):
I had to grow up knowing I was a criminal. Exactly.
I'm fifty five. Since been in my fifties, I've used
the doctor Moore. Each appointment I booked for a four
week wait for fifty minute appointment. Now I'm renewing my
ten year car license because I have a truck license.
I need a medical medical is a thirty minute appointment.
As soon as I can get a thirty minute appointment
is seven weeks away. Wow. Can I get a shout

(33:12):
up for the late KFC bens telling bring back the
bean exactly? Wow? Greetings Birthdays? I would say, good old
July is the most popular month, minus tomorrow the fourth
or something else I was going to say about today.
There was something important I had to say about today.
I've got what of those? When I was fourteen, member
mates were riding bikes on the footpath because we're afraid

(33:33):
to ride on the main road. One day we got
pulled over by the cop. We got told off and
told us to push the bikes home. How ridiculous. Be
in touch. If you want to be a part of
the show. My name is Marcus. Welcome Hittal twelve. If
you want to be involved, Oh, eight hundred and eighty
ten eight. If you want to text, it's nine to
nine two. It is the Friday Free Fraudich is the
free Fraudich is Friday? Anyone else been to one of

(33:53):
these courses for your hips? We gotta get like hunger
games for heps to prove you need your operation. I mean,
I've probably got it wrong, but you can tell me
what it's like. Is it probably more measured than that,
I would hope. So if you've got something to say
about that, I'd like to hear from you. Anything else
you want to talk about too, it'd be nice to
hear from you. Just as Show was saying that the

(34:15):
Philippines got a three pointer, I don't know why the
guy was on marked out there. It seemed crazy, but
they've gone through the shot three. It's eighty three eighty
three player time out now, twelve seconds to go. This
is tight. So it's not the end of us if
we don't want this, but to bet the Philippines gives
us a bit of path to the qualifiers. I think
that's the situation. So that's what we've got there. My
name's Marcus Welcome. It's a Friday, free for anything goes.

(34:35):
If you want to have a chat tonight, that's the
planned stand. Nothing to heat it maybe for tonight, but
we'll see how we go. What's this guy on about, oh, Brilly,
that's what I want to know. Has he been on it? Okay?
If you want to, if you want to be in touch.
Eighteen hundred and eighty ten eighty and nineteen nine to
the text the hip course. If you've been on the
hip course, get in touch. This is the one if

(34:56):
you want the hip palm if you want to. I
don't know how it works, but if you've been on that,
let us know, get in touch. Oh eight hundred and eighty,
also discussing beans and national anthemate, tomorrow's rugby match, and
cycling on the footpath Marcus, footpaths are for pedestrians and wheelchairs.
Can we now walk in the middle of bike lanes?

(35:16):
Let the pedastriants have some piece of protection from the
generally little dangerous sort of out Guys. We're on this
world together, so yeah, I mean we want children to bike,
having them on the footpaths is fine. I mean there's
nothing that specifies roads shall just be for cars either.
Goodness gracious, it looks kind of lively this basketball match.

(35:37):
It's eighty three to eighty three. There's too many extra time.
It seems we've gone to Cameron. It's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (35:43):
Good evening, all, happy birthday.

Speaker 7 (35:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 17 (35:47):
You're happen to share your birthday with jerdash Stone, who
would have been eighty three today from the seekers. Yeah,
but anyhow, I heard that Chefford not too long ago,
talking about hips and all the rest of it. I
think through that a few years ago. I usually hear
full hit professment in February of last year, followed by
acident seven weeks later. So yeah, the appointment with the

(36:11):
physio would have to be one of the most painful.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Sorry, Cameron, did you go on a seven week course
for your hip?

Speaker 17 (36:21):
Not a seven week course? No, no, no, I've been with
the assessment with the phisio.

Speaker 7 (36:26):
Yah. I didn't have a full.

Speaker 17 (36:28):
Hip replacement in February of last year, followed by a
car accident seven weeks later. But the assessment the physio
puts you through was absolutely horrendous. I was pretty much
crying all throughout it. It was, on one hand, quite embarrassing,

(36:50):
but needs must and if you are being assessed for
a hip replacement, you have to go through that assessment.
So yeah, things like taking your socks on and off,
if you could manage that, bending down to do your
lasers up up and over a small set of steps,
all of those everyday tasks that most people would take

(37:13):
for granted. When you're at that stage when you need
the surgery, yeah, boy, somebody much worse than I was
at the time. I just absolutely feel for them because
for me, it was just a hellish experience. Putting it politely,
I guess copy that.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Thanks Kevin Grig. It's Marcus.

Speaker 8 (37:34):
Good evening, Marcus in a minute, good gree.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Yeah we are we on the radio, Yes, but you've
got your radio on, Grig.

Speaker 15 (37:47):
Oh yeah, need some radio.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Do you understand that we operate on a delay situation?

Speaker 7 (37:53):
Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Speaker 18 (37:54):
Well the best thing I wanted to talk about was
just a wheeling that's right, and have it still going on?
And how it's such a bad thing.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
How are you aware of this because I'm not kind
of wiling aware at the moment.

Speaker 11 (38:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (38:10):
Well I was actually had a good friend of mine.
It was actually in Japan and they were still going
out and whaling. Okay, So I just I just thought
it's something that we everybody needs to be aware of,
and and like the same as you, it's like it's
not happening now. So I just I'm yeah, why is it?

Speaker 7 (38:30):
Why?

Speaker 18 (38:30):
Why is it not a topic of discussion?

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 8 (38:37):
Your thoughts on that, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 16 (38:42):
It's it's.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Difficult because I can hear the radio on the background.
Who's there with you.

Speaker 7 (38:46):
Yeah, sorry, I'll just move for the I'll just.

Speaker 18 (38:48):
Move for the way.

Speaker 7 (38:49):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Who are you with?

Speaker 18 (38:51):
I'm actually on a I'm out an island motor to
the island, so I'm just yeah, actually, yeah, we did
actually see some whales earlier on today.

Speaker 8 (39:05):
You're no, no, no, no, no, we're just doing some
work out. Yeah, oh yeah, and yeah, just maybe it
realized that it's a topic that nobody really talks about anymore.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
And I'm and I imagine, I imagine they've stopped wailing
because for a while there was sea ship and everyone
down there was a lot of visibility on it, but
you never hear about it anymore.

Speaker 18 (39:27):
Exactly. That's that's exactly what I'm on about.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
You know, not about it too now because you raise
a very very good point. But yeah, I can't do
that with it, sorry, Greg, I can't do that with
the radio on the background. It just it just doesn't work.
I don't want to sound antsry about that, but yeah,
if someone's turning on the radio, because we operate on
delay system, then you can hear yourself seven seconds later
and it derails the talk back caboots. You do one thing,

(39:54):
even if you're drunk. It's good to turn that radio.
That's the golden rule of talkbacker is to turn your
radio off. I haven't sounded too cross, but bike's on footpaths, Carol,
this is Marcus. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 20 (40:10):
I want to talk to you about hips. This is
a little a little bit different. I went to a
yoga weekend anyway at the local hall and he was
mister Posselweight. He was who's who and yoga?

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Did you? Did you go to possel Weight?

Speaker 7 (40:31):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (40:31):
Yeah, this is years ago and.

Speaker 20 (40:35):
Yeah, and he had the long white bed.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
I was.

Speaker 20 (40:42):
So I entered the hall. There were no chairs, and
I said to him, he introduced himself. I said, I've
noticed there's no chairs to sit on, and he turned
quite snarly to me. He said, that is the trouble
with you, with you sit on too many chairs. Did

(41:04):
get the drip on too many chairs? And then I
sit on the floor. And I was just wondering about
Native people and others who do sit on the floor.
I don't think they have the hip problem with that.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
And you see those you see those traders in Asian stalls,
so they can just manage to just sit on their
haunches day and night.

Speaker 20 (41:33):
I know, but when you look at it, we're sitting
on the chairs, you know that, you know the bone
is really pressing into the hip.

Speaker 15 (41:41):
Oh that was just his idea.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Anyway, I don't know what's gone wrong with hips. I
think probably we're outliving ourselves, aren't well. I think if
we live to forty, the hips were fine, but now
we live to ninety. I mean there's a lot of
we're on a hip.

Speaker 15 (41:55):
Oh yes, And I think they think.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
They say knees are quite easy to replace because they're
just a hinge joint, but the hips are ball and sockets.
So it's a little bit more complicated.

Speaker 20 (42:06):
Okay, I'm not aware of it, but I've never forgotten
mister possil waiting Westerner is sitting on too many cheers.
That's why you have hip problems.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Did you stay? Did you stay for the course? Carol?

Speaker 20 (42:20):
Yes, I did, but.

Speaker 7 (42:24):
I never ran back from a number.

Speaker 20 (42:26):
It's a difficult for me to sit on the stall
cross legged.

Speaker 7 (42:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
My experience with yoga, I went to yoga and west
Walk and also but the woman she was fixated with
how inflexible I was. I thought, well, you know, move
on from here, aren't I extremely inflexible. And I wasn't
that bandy either. Anyway, get in touch any updates on
the Tall Blacks game. It's gone to extra time. It's
twenty five all, there's three minutes left and extra time.

(42:52):
It was a buzzer beatter. We should have won that.
Why that guy was unmarked for that three point, I've
got no idea it was ours. We're talking about hips
and hip college if you want to go to that
seven week cause Bob is going due. He hasn't lost
the smile and his voice, Bob has. He sounds like
a bad bruise Dobby. It's Marcus good evening the.

Speaker 6 (43:10):
Evening green markets now just talking about bikes are maybe
two years old. Wow, And I could remember years ago
the rules on wheels on the footpath had a high limit,
didn't it.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Oh you could well have done yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
I think it was eighteen inches. Had that account for
prams and.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Pushchairs makes sense and small bike.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
But as far as bicycles on the footpath there or
are just they're behaving themselves like for kids. But you
get these people whoming around just on the back wheel
on a footpath. Those are the ones should be banned
from both the road and footpart.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
So good skill though those wheel stands and they keep
it going.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
Yeah, but you see they turn into motorbike ons.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Is that what happens? Yeah, so it's be less dangerous
on a push.

Speaker 6 (44:00):
South Auckland, South Aakland. You can't go past the day
without anyone doing a wheel stand on motorbates. Now that
all stands from them going around the shopping centers learning
on puss.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
Oh that's the gateway drug they're starting to buy. Yah,
of course it does ye ye yeah, what they need
is what they need. What they need is unicycles.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (44:25):
And getting back to the hips. What about truck drivers
sitting down forteen hours a night, six days a week.
Isn't that sitting down too much?

Speaker 3 (44:35):
You wonder when they're going to invent the standing truck
like the standing disk.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Well, a greater driver stands up and drives, so he
should be all right. You see a lot of greater
drivers standing up in drones and they can see both
sides of the blade. The blade is down straight down
below them.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
And I've never heard of a greater drive and needing
a new hip.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
Yeah, well that's all wonder too.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
I often wondered too, and bluff. A lot of people
seem to need hip operations. I wonder if you're at
see a long time carrying oyster pots and cod pots
with a moving base, that that's putting bad pressure on
your apps. I think fisher by.

Speaker 6 (45:15):
It, your hips, your whole self all goes back to food.
Whatever goes in your mouth.

Speaker 7 (45:20):
That's what you are, is there right now?

Speaker 6 (45:22):
You look at what you look at what the agency
right they can they can squat down, you know. And
you look at the islanders before they come into New Zealand,
they all do that. They all sit like that. Now
as they get all our good food put into them,
it becomes harder for them to do well, Isn't that right?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
I think you're probably right. I think you're probably onder
something there.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
Because yeah, yeah, what you put in your mouth.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Is well you become.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
That's what you become. Good to hear from the dobby,
thank you. Twenty past nine of the end the barean
O eight one hundred and eighty to the basketball aady
seven eighty seven two minutes leift to go. It's an
end to end Downtown Marcus. Today was the sixty third
adversary with the Kaimi ear crash that's right now, I
understand right. It was New Zealand's It was the worst
air crash in New Zealand. That was innac It was

(46:11):
nineteen sixty three. I don't fully know the circumstances of
the crash, just on the Kaimais northwest of Matamata. Yeah,
we have talked about on the show. Let me just
refresh you with what went wrong. Pre radar too low down,

(46:32):
a downdraft. According to CIA investigators, a downdraft car of
the aircraft below the level of the crest of the
range under poor weather conditions, browning. At the time, the
aircraft encountered an air of extreme turbulence from which it
was a possible for the crew to recover altitude. So
it seemed like it wasn't one thing, it was four
different things. So that's this day, sixty three years ago

(46:58):
on the Kaimai Ranges near Mount Nati Mahini Nahini Rua.
You can see the plaque as you go, asked with
the names of the people. Our number of them were
aircrew too. And yes, that was New Zealand's worst, the
worst disaster in New Zealand. Hold your horses, I'll be
with you. Soon if you want to talk on here.

(47:18):
I want to find more about these hip classes that
Bob's tagged for. Why would you go for seven weeks?
Sure they could do one assessment and work out if
you need to go. So I'm finding out about tonight.
It's all about the hips and have you had a
hipp Let's talk about hips? Somes people make fun about talk.
It's all about people do with their hip operations. Let's
do that. Let's lean into the cliche. That's what I'm about.

(47:39):
Marcus had a hip replacement last September and straightforward operation,
much simpler than the knee. Knee operations take longer to
recover from. Then hips brilliant. That's what we want. We're
all about hips. Why do hips go? Are we doing
it wrong? Is it walking? Is it cycling? What is it?
How are we doing our hips? And Brett Marcus welcome?

Speaker 5 (47:59):
Yes, Marcus, happy birthday.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Thank you, Brett. That's nice of you to remember.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
That, well you told us.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, I thought I had to tell you otherwise people
going on about it all night. I can't when I
should have taken my day off, my birthday, but you know,
I like the fact that I'm here.

Speaker 5 (48:14):
Yeah, My uncle was a drain eyer for thirty odd years.
Both heaps of stuff and he couldn't walk much, but
he could ride a push fight for miles. Really a
different movement, I think walking from the push fight. And
he got both of them done at once. Both heps

(48:37):
done at once because he waited, waited a while as
doctor told him that they were You know, this is
quite a few years ago now that they were going ahead,
you know, getting a titanium in all this?

Speaker 3 (48:47):
When would be the first When it would have been
the first hip replacement in New Zealand? Is it like
twenty years old or one hundred years old?

Speaker 5 (48:55):
No, it wouldn't be. When was this?

Speaker 3 (48:57):
When did this guy get out of the drain Oh?

Speaker 5 (49:01):
Yeah, well he couldn't do any drain man, but he
had both of them done at once, and so getting
the sword and and he was out of hospital in
three days and he was back on his push fight
in two weeks. But he didn't walk very good anymore,
but no pain.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Where was he cycling to cycle over.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
The place of Devonport from the north shore there?

Speaker 3 (49:22):
What like a three speed or a ten speed mountain bike?

Speaker 7 (49:27):
Really?

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Yeah, he sounds like a he was a character. He
sounds like a real character.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
Years ago, they, like I said, they give you they
didn't have the right material that they made the hip
side and so they'd wear out. But these days they're
titanium or anything they've asked for ever, well, not even
But is he longer?

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Is he dead now?

Speaker 5 (49:49):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (49:50):
Did they cremate him?

Speaker 5 (49:52):
I know he was buried.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
What they do with the titan? What do they do
with that's tinin when they cremate? I guess it all
just comes out.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
Yeah, I don't think about things like.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
That, don't you.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
I had a ter of the crematorium as might a
part of my council induction. Thought it was what interesting?
That freak you out? Does that freak you out?

Speaker 5 (50:11):
Well, if you wanted a job and that sort of game,
pretty weird?

Speaker 3 (50:16):
Yeah, well yeah, mind you wouldn't. Your hips wouldn't go
Like in drain Lane. Did you ever help him out
with the drains?

Speaker 5 (50:24):
Yeah, we get a few train and blockings and that.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
Did you have a net to root?

Speaker 5 (50:29):
Did you?

Speaker 3 (50:30):
Did you have a neck for it?

Speaker 16 (50:32):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (50:32):
Yeah, it's not bad. Yeah, but you had some rods
that used to put in, you know, because the roots
would get your.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Oh yeah, you drive them down poda car and stuff
right through the drains.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
You had this rods he joined together and then you
rip all the stuff out. Yeah, there'd be a lot
of that going on at the moment.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
With the weather, I think you're probably right. Thanks for that.
It looks like the Philippines are in ahead of the basketball.
Twenty ninety three ninety one, eight seconds left to go.
We've lost this. We we should have won it left
that guy well, so obviously it was going to go
to the three point specialist. Fidget spinner player of timeout's
going to conclude now too, So just watched the end

(51:16):
of it just eight so there might be another fourth
time out, but anyway, the conclusion is not far away.
If you want to be on air. We're talking hips
ninety three ninety one, seven seconds left. The Philippines are
and the lead. There was appeal for a foul from Ellie,
but that hasn't been given, so they might be reviewing.
I'm not quite sure what kitten kbertle they've got there.
He's going for throws, I think so maybe they have
given that. I think he's got two throws. I'll keep

(51:37):
you posted on that. Surely this is Marcus. Good evening
and welcome well Marcus.

Speaker 10 (51:42):
Once again, I'm becoming quite a regular. A little hip story.
I was discharged from the hospital with a brand new hip,
got to my back door, son opened the door.

Speaker 11 (51:54):
I fell over.

Speaker 10 (51:55):
He recycled me back into the hospital. Within an hour
of being discharged. I broke leg, wrisked five ribs, three vertebrate.
But my new hip sat there.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
You'd gone back to your own house, Yes, you're driven,
or he had taken you.

Speaker 10 (52:13):
He'd taken me back to the house.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
And there were steps up to it.

Speaker 10 (52:16):
One little tiny step, all of about eight inches high, and.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
You're on the side of the door and he's on
the side of the door. Yeah, he opened the door
and pushed you over.

Speaker 10 (52:26):
No, he put the key in the door. I gave
him my suitcase. I handed him my suitcase, and I
fell over the stupid little step by the door and
had all those injuries in hospital for a very long time.

Speaker 12 (52:42):
But my brand new hip only.

Speaker 10 (52:45):
Had taken home that day, was sent back to the
hospital within one hour of being discharged from the hospital.
But my new beautiful hip survived all of that.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Surely did they say that happened often?

Speaker 12 (53:01):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 10 (53:01):
I just don't think I was concentrating.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
But that's that's because that would be the most important
thing you'd think to do, would be after operation, to
make sure the person gets Yeah, that's humble, that's unbelievably unfortunate.

Speaker 10 (53:14):
He was behind me. We have two gates. He put
me through the first gate, and then he got to
the second gate and he was still behind me. This
is a six foot four sun I might do. He
then walked in front of me to get the key
in the door to allow me to get into my house.

Speaker 19 (53:34):
And over I went.

Speaker 10 (53:36):
And the first thing he said, Mum, your new hip.
Well I was screaming like a benchie. It was my
new hip was sitting calmly in its little bed, but
everything else around it failed.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
And I know all about that. I know what it's
like to pick up parents from the hospital because it's
a big day because you're worried about car parking. It's
something you where are you going to get them? The
whole thing's a big day, and you'd think once you're
through that first gate, while we've done a mum's home
and that damn step. I can't believe it.

Speaker 10 (54:07):
Yeah, I know, I was. I was given a very
clap of approval when they sent me straight back to
the ward. That only doesn't discharged me from bet.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
You said something funny when you came. How long were
you in there?

Speaker 12 (54:21):
For nearly two months?

Speaker 10 (54:23):
But I got pneumonia after it all, so I really
capped a lot.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
And then when you got there, and then when you
got home after those two months and pneumonia, what did
your son say to you as you came to the step.

Speaker 10 (54:36):
Mum, I'm going to go to the tire shop and
buy yourself Mitchell and Tay, and I'm going to enclose
you in it, so it's when you fall over next
time you can bounce off.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Yeah, it felt terrible, wouldn't he He did.

Speaker 10 (54:48):
He felt absolutely dreadful. And the ambulance gentlemen, we knew.
He said, what are you doing here? And I said, oh,
and why? I wasn't able to talk anyway. I was
screaming because I was in so much pain. And I'm
not a light person. I'm quite a big girl. So
off I went to hospital and got all X ray.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
And you would have fallen in an awkward way because
you would have wanted to save your hip, so subconsciously
you would have fallen in a way that's not natural,
and that's why you would have broken so many damn things.

Speaker 10 (55:21):
Absolutely, that's absolutely what happened. But even all my five ribs,
three on one side and two on the other. Three
vertebrae cracked, one, seven, and twelve, wrist, leg, knee, hip,
sitting beautifully there saying thank you very much. I'm quite well,
but you can go back to hospital. So that's my story.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
How long ago was this or a.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
Long time ago?

Speaker 10 (55:44):
October of last year and they let me come home
the twenty fourth of December.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Fantastic story. How many casts were you in leg.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
Rit ribs?

Speaker 10 (55:58):
They couldn't do anything in my vertebrate three cracked vertebrae,
they couldn't do anything, So all down the left hand side.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
And how's your mobility now?

Speaker 21 (56:07):
Disgusting?

Speaker 10 (56:09):
Marcus Humpt trying very hard to be very brave and
just keep.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Going nice to hear from its extraordinary stories. Shirley. I
wouldn't say it's made by night, but it's been one
of the more interesting things of tonight. That and Bob
at the Starr and Guard are playing Jinger. Jinger and
Bob going to the keep foot class with we're throwing
around the cloth. All ah ah yeah, wow, goodness elderly

(56:36):
movement classes. I mean we laugh at jeepers, creepers. Nice
review about the new Legally Bond Blonde prequel. The Legally
Blonde prequel is proof that when they try, humans can
write as badly as AI. Cannot wait, cannot wait, Here'll
twelve be a part of it? Twenty three to ten. Goodness,

(56:59):
what a fool, Cheapers. It's always the small steps that
get you met Ats Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (57:06):
There, you go make us just when I speak about
hip replacements and stuff like that, either complete hip replacement
or the eighteen months ago now, but over nearly two years.
I had to wait probably three years to get done,
and I was in all sorts of excruciating pains. I
had to have a total done and I actually have

(57:28):
to have the other one done as well, but they
couldn't do them both at once because of the seriousness
of the first one that I had to have done.
I went into the Manchow whatever they call it, the.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Superclinic, SUPERCID, Yeah, SUPERCID, superclinic.

Speaker 5 (57:43):
Yep, yep. I walked in there. I think it was
at ten o'clock on a Tuesday morning, or about eight
o'clock by the time I went through the freen but
I got into surgery by about ten o'clock. I was
on the table by ten thirty. It was a big job.
It took them about two hours. I don't remember any

(58:04):
of that, but coming to I was on my feet
by five o'clock and I walked out of the joint
eleven o'clock the next morning. And I can't I can't
speak highly enough of the surgeon. His name with the Ingramac,
an absolute magician. So he changed my life. And when
I went back, a couple of explained for the just

(58:24):
to have a look and everything about that. To him,
I said to one thing, I said, please make this
is when all our professionals were leaving the country. It
was not long after COVID, So I said, please don't
buy an aeroplane ticket. And he looked at me and said,
over all one yet, and I think that managers a medal.
So I woke up with no pain. Came and saw
me before he left at the end of the day,

(58:46):
about five o'clock in the afternoon, and I was a
completely different human being.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
What happened to your hepstay Matt.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
I'm a farrier by trade. I che to ride a
lot of horses. I had a lot of rugby. I
was being a hard you know hard down the hard yard.
I had left between the bones, you know, all wrong.
Now there's only half left, but textually not warning there.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
The fairies get kicked.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
Oh that, yeah, you get kicked in it. Yeah, holding up,
you're playing with five hundred killow was trying to drive
a little nail and there foot. I'm don't blame I'm
not actually blaming that so much, but I had to
stop doing that, and I'm now back doing it beginning
because when I went back and spoke to him, I said, well,
what can't do I do? And he said, don't go jogging,

(59:36):
That's all I said. So I can go back to it,
and I still made sure I didn't go straight back
into it. So I had three years off my occupation.
I was waiting for a year and a half for
the operation. So I drove a van around the country
side doing a bit of deliveries and picking up stuff
with fisheries. I've got life crayfish. And then I had

(59:57):
my operation and I had twelve months off. I healed
and now I'm back doing what I should do it.
I can't speak enough, wildly enough of that man Ian
all Matt, He's a duty. He is so good and
anyone ever gets him were very lucky people. And listen
to him and you'll come. It took twenty years off

(01:00:18):
my life.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Brilliant could hear from your met thank you? Seventeen one hundred,
one hundred. This basketball game seems to be compelling an
extra time. This is his inerviest of the Philippines, a
World Cup qualifier. We don't need to win it, but
it'll be good to win it. End to end, end
to end. We're talking hips surely must look like a mummy.
Marcus had to scaned on my hips last year. Was

(01:00:40):
asked me any questions about exercises I did, But I
am not a walker, bike rider, swim a runner. But
for the last three years have walked up and down
lots of stairs in my house, forty five a day.
They found that fascinating. Wow, I don't know what happened
to hips. Hello and a children's player. There used to
be a bridge where for each step you walked on
closely spaced miniature swings, each made of a small log

(01:01:02):
a little above the ground hanging by a chain. The
thought occurred to me that by water king on the
Smoldies Swing Bridge might be an exercise that could naturally
heal at least some hip conditions. Who get in touch
of your talk sixteen away from ten. Hi, Shane, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:01:22):
Thank you, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:01:23):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Shane? Thank you.

Speaker 13 (01:01:25):
It's the way happy midday too.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Thank you for that, Shane. Yeah, appreciate that.

Speaker 13 (01:01:29):
Yeah, you're talking about hips.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 13 (01:01:34):
So I had both mine done and December last year
and that was quite interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
At the same at the same time, yep.

Speaker 13 (01:01:45):
Well it's a bit of a mission. But I too
went to the make our super clinic. But the government
funded last year seven thousands of hips, so I was
kind of lucky to go through in that battery private.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Yeah, yes, I was familiar with us, believe with them
doing that.

Speaker 18 (01:02:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:02:09):
So anyway, they did them both three and a half
hours later, Bang, bang, still done.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
You said, you sound young. Was the reason they've gone.

Speaker 13 (01:02:20):
I've done karate for almost forty years, so they were
kind of worn out. But a lot of rugby players
and marathon runners had the same problem. Their hips wear out?

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Is it a thing for karate? Is it a thing
for karate?

Speaker 7 (01:02:37):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Is it a thing for karate that your hips go?

Speaker 11 (01:02:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:02:42):
Yeah, even even it's Danny Watson from the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Did I see Danny? What happened to him?

Speaker 13 (01:02:51):
Oh? Dan, he's he's he's still doing karate but yeah, anyway,
he's a karate master up here in Auckland.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
But he's still quite active.

Speaker 13 (01:03:05):
Ah, yes, he's as much as he can be. So
that's so cool. But live with a lot of the
senior karate people, their hips go on them and say,
with marethon.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Runners, I'd never known karate with a picture. I thought
it would be. I thought it would have a positive
effect on your health, and I suppose it does. Apart
from your hips, it kind of does.

Speaker 13 (01:03:27):
But fearing in mind, when you do your kicking, you're
pivoting on the other foot. Yeah, and that's just what
that's on the ground, and that's usually where they wear out,
is kind of on the opposite side of the kicking,
and if you're kicking off both sides, they kind of
wear out. So but yeah, Kevin Carpeck did mine and
he was great. The leaple it's really really good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
Is this surnamed carpet Carpick. Okay, when you said Kevin Carpet,
I thought you'd been humorous in saying it was the
carpet that had ricked your hips from karate. But nextually
it was the surgeon. Brilliant goodness got myself out it
and just any thank you for that, Shane. It's ten
away from ten head on midnight basketball. New Zealand just

(01:04:10):
finally gone ahead one oh five, one oh two, ten
seconds left. Just keep it away from them. They've got
three point specialist all over the show. Might when there's
there's only nine seconds left, what happens if it's still live?
An extra time? But yeah, it's been a good match,
that's for sure. New Zealands won the basket one hundred
and six one hundred and two I think an extra
time against the Philippines. Caho, Marcus good Evening Hill.

Speaker 11 (01:04:33):
I just wanted to let you know that I had
my place last year and it was one hundred percent
done by a robot here in christ Church.

Speaker 17 (01:04:42):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:04:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:04:43):
And so they put all the coordinates in and they
rolled me in and they introduced me to this robot
and then I went out and it was like r
two D two was sitting there and they do it
because quite often prior people people come out and they
our legs slightly longer than the other that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
It's you're unconscious the whole time.

Speaker 11 (01:05:04):
May yeah, yeah, yeah, And it was about I came
to about three or four hours later.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Because apparently the operations really really physical.

Speaker 11 (01:05:14):
Um yeah, I mean I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
Yeah, I know this isn't good because you know, it's
amazing that a robot can do it, because the stories
I've heard is I mean that you know you anyway?

Speaker 11 (01:05:25):
How how come you're perfect?

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
How come what happened to your hip?

Speaker 12 (01:05:29):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
We're in tear?

Speaker 22 (01:05:30):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:05:30):
So yeah, So coming back to the guy who's talking before,
So I did twelve years of taekwondo.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
Yes, that's the kicky one, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:05:39):
Yeah, And you're jumping on wooden floors and that sort
of thing. But I also prior to that, I had
an injury years ago with my groin, and I think
that that I couldn't fix that and that that probably
tewed away at the hip. And yeah, I got a
new one on my left on my left leg. My
hips totally fine. So nobod it was a good experience.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
I wonder about all those UFC guys. Would that be
even worse for hips?

Speaker 11 (01:06:03):
Oh, definitely, because you get on, you get on really
weird angle when.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
They're dropping them on there and then sort of then
I reckon, they'll all be stuffed.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
I'm sure.

Speaker 11 (01:06:14):
But people people go on and just they'll get them
replaced and they'll just I mean, so many these rugby
players probably get their hips replaced and then they get
back into it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Because you sound are you young?

Speaker 11 (01:06:24):
No, I'm probably about your age birthday too.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Well the way, yeah, truck keep my major's secret. But yeah,
I appreciate that. Ca, thank you for that. Greg Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Did you have a birthday?

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
Yes, my birthday today and I've never ever said it
was my birthday, but last year, because it was a
decade birthday, right, I took the day off and I
think the host that was coming in said Marcus has
taken the day for its birthday. So yesterday people wishing
me heavy birthday for tomorrow. I thought, well, I'm not
going to manage to get the whole night without mentioning.
So I've just owned it and I've confessed. So that's

(01:07:00):
the situation on you own it, mate, on you, and
you're leaning it, leaning into it as what they say
and the kid's lexicon anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
Okay, and the kid's lexicon, so leaning into it.

Speaker 7 (01:07:11):
So how old are you?

Speaker 5 (01:07:12):
If you don't mind me asking?

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
It's a prime number and if you add the two
numbers together that is also prime.

Speaker 5 (01:07:18):
That's all I'll give you, all right, Okay, get good
heads up? So similar age.

Speaker 7 (01:07:23):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 17 (01:07:24):
Mate.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Listening to that lady talking about her her operation and
then coming home and falling over that was horrific. It's like, God, seriously,
could you imagine anything worse than that? You've gone through
all that then you get home and yeah, bang, poor lady.

Speaker 7 (01:07:44):
I have a question.

Speaker 5 (01:07:46):
I'm not quite sure if I'm right or not, but
I work in construction and we're all guys in our sixties. Now.
You know, all my mates that I sort of started
out with, none of us have had to have hip operations.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Are you gonna say something sizest?

Speaker 5 (01:08:03):
I'm just wondering. Is it something that happens if you're
if you're more likely to be sedentary.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Yeah, I don't know, well not not if it's taikwan
do related.

Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
Yeah, yeah, I've got to be asked, yeah, no offense.
But I've got mates that are rotten their martial arts.
I've never heard of any of them saying that it's
a normal part of martial arts. But anyway, it could
possibly be fact.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
But you got to be careful when you start judging
why these people haven't because they start yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:08:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, You're where I come from. So I'm
not trying to go go off topic there, but whaley
just are whaling. That's interesting, seriously, after that comment by
that guy, I did a little bit of research and
it's not pretty.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
Are they still out there the whales whalers. Whalers are
out there Iceland, Iceland, and Japan right.

Speaker 5 (01:09:03):
No, far more than that. So this is where it
actually gets really interesting. I knew Japan as always doing it,
and Norway that's always been quite a big part of
their traditions, and Japan calls it scientific research, but we
just know things others sushi. But what I did discover

(01:09:27):
was that there's multiple countries that are using this excuse
for a whaling.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
I'll look into it. Nice to hear from you. Sex
and del Penworth over South. The stars will be out
for state of origin, but I'll keep you updated. We
are talking hips hip operations. How do you destroy your hip?
What are the occupations that are worst on your hips?
What cultures are worse with hips? I wonder Darwinism and
all that. I mean, it's the last when we become

(01:09:53):
sedentary during the Industrial Revolution. I don't know where does
this go back to people in time? The hips? It's
what we are talking about. I don't know that martial
arts had wrecked your hips. Oh it was a positive thing,
but how I feel about that because they're also it's
always so martial arts there is always seen as such
as sort of a worthy and yeah, you know what

(01:10:17):
I'm saying. You martial arts arts people like they love
it for what they do, but didn't know they're actually
or doing their hips in That's what we are talking
about tonight and hips and hip operations. And it was
Bob said he has to go a seven week course
to see if they need the operation. Now clearly needed.
He fell playing darts, although I'm not entirely sure the
darts would have been the right thing to be playing.

(01:10:39):
He was an Indian League wrestling. Did you know that
was a kid? Indian League wrestle where you kind of
had to flip each other up. It was arm wrestling,
then there was Indian League wrestling. Anyway, we're talking hips,
so yep, and poor Shirley's example. But if you've had
your hips done, anything about hip relations I wouldn't go
on YouTube to watch that. It was how it was done.
But I imagine it's a pretty severe operation.

Speaker 15 (01:11:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
I think that's why they put you under. Not because
of the pain, but because of the noise. Marcus. Happening
now Harbourbridge City bounds six police cars searching for a
runner from a police chase. The runner crossed over live
traffic is now summer in the water under or by
the bridge, so there's a situation on the Auckland Harbor
Bridge or in the water below that. Marcus. I've had

(01:11:23):
five hip replacements for the last two I've had plates
and screws put in first tip downe thirty five years ago,
on the second one and a year later, all due
to hip displacement at birth. Nowadays they put babies in
wide nappies to push hips back into place. Oh, yes
they do, that's right. I don't know with babies that
hips are a problem, aren't they they put them in

(01:11:43):
a cars, don't they if they've got clicking hips. Didn't
know that was going to come back at you later.
Oh yes, Now it's halftime on the show. If you
want to talk in this half, that would be great.
Marcus heavy birth. They had five hip operations between twenty
eighteen and twenty twenty three. The first operation Southern Cross

(01:12:04):
left Southern Cross with an affection. They would not again
under an acc loophole. Had four further right hip operations
and north to your hospital due to complications. Have a
great night. Gary had a similar story to your previous caller.
Rabbitos have just gone over. They won't kick the conversion.
There was a trail there had a hip replacement in
January and Feller on the way on the driveway November

(01:12:26):
broke my wist and shaded my knee, but my new
hip was fine. So two about hips and what goes
wrong with hips, because I'd like not to be in
that situation. Also to the Kai my ear disaster this
day in sixty three, New Zealand's worst ear disaster. Obviously
had a hip was replacedment last September. It's a straightford

(01:12:47):
operation much with than a knee free saw hYP not painful.
So that's the situation tonight. Who wants to start this
hour off with stories about hips and robots? If there's
something different you want to opine on, this is the
show for you. Who wants to take a punt on
the national anthem tomorrow night? Christ Church to Kaha should
be someone spectacular, bitch, it won't be for me that

(01:13:10):
sets the tone. If they get western Ra there, we'll win.
I don't know how good this what's the taarbe got
them at Dan? I don't know. I'm not into the French.
I'm not into how they seen the second string team
all this way one eighteen New Zealand four fifty for France.
I reckon What will happen is France will show brilliance
and flare and could come close. As long as it's

(01:13:30):
a spectacle and as long as it's some good entertainment halftime,
and that should be Scribe and Mark Williams, Jordan Luck
and Peter Erlitch like they had at the League. That
would be perfect. That's my pick on that. Because Rugby
needs to turn. I mean they got the car, it's
the great stadium. We want a spectacle because we're looking.
It's been a long time. It's been a tough summer
for rugby. We've had the whole pilava with the coach,

(01:13:52):
which wasn't fun to watch, then the one sided Super
ten event that wasn't that good, and now we're getting
into the real point, the end of it. We want
some action. Did Sharon's played a secret gig for the
England World Cup team. Trigger they're into that. I'm in
love with the shape of you. Think about Aid Sharon right,

(01:14:13):
he seems slightly annoying and irritating when everyone seems to
love him. He's never short of he's never short of
people to work with him. There must be something quite
good value about him. I've often thought he gets on
well with people. You never hear a bad word about Dharin.
You all ead shearing's difficult. You never hear that, do you?

Speaker 7 (01:14:32):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
As I say, we are talking hips and operations, why not?
Why not lean into it? This is a great thing
to talk about, So come on, that is something you
can mention tonight. I'm all here for that. Keep those
texts coming through. I will just talk until I get calls.
Had a hip replacement under epidural right, awake during the operation,
very loud and brutal. I can imagine had a double

(01:14:55):
tip top replacement eighteen years ago, just worn out. The
pain before was unbearable. Yet after I fell brand new
hi marks, I only need a hip replacement. My bones
are good, but been reflexed when I forty years of pilates,
I now have torn tendons in both aps for every
painful Wow. Wow, hadn't thought of that. You don't hear
much about pilates anymy I don't know what the next

(01:15:16):
fitness trend's going to be. Often wonder about that. Yeah,
I still think walking's the answer, but it's boring. I'm
going through a motivational get with my walking at the moment.
The trouble with a walk right, every time you go
for a walk, it's always the uphill bart first. There's
very few walks with a downhill, but comes first. Oh

(01:15:38):
here we got that hell again up bloody Bluff Hill.
Marc has just got back from Spark Arena for the
Tall Blacks Versus Philippines. One unreal environment went to double
over time and you couldn't even hear yourself thinking they're
completely sold out and felt like ninety five percent Philippines
fans and saying what a game? What I watched on TV?
It was sensational confession. I thought it was in the
Philippines with a look at the audience. But look the Philippines.

(01:16:00):
I love them to I should that sounds like a generalization.
We have a lot of the Philippines in South because
they're in the dairy end three and they love the basketball.
They've got their own basketball league. They're obsessed with basketball,
all the uniforms in it. And I tell you what,
every time there's a Christmas parade, which crowd put to
everyone else to shame Philippines. They are a fantastic group. Anyway,

(01:16:21):
it's about apps. I'll have this break, we'll come back.
We'll full board you. Good evening, James, it's Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:16:27):
Welcome, Good evening, Marcus. I'll just listen to about you
some stuff. I'm a freako line. It's a stranger you
mentioned he's talked to me about the other day and
he's very small structure pocket rockets Steve. Yeah, and he's head.

(01:16:47):
There's both as have.

Speaker 7 (01:16:49):
Done how long.

Speaker 21 (01:16:51):
I'm just wondering how long are they in hospital?

Speaker 15 (01:16:54):
Just for a day?

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
Yeah, I reckon you can walk out that well you
they want to keep you too long as you getting
in fiction, but yeah, they work in and out in
the day.

Speaker 21 (01:17:02):
That's I come square of CRC and where you go.

Speaker 7 (01:17:09):
Unrelievable.

Speaker 21 (01:17:11):
But it's all to do with your body structure, your ways,
what you've been doing all for your life and and
and what you join to ball and ball and bowl
joint they are the ones that go first. And your

(01:17:32):
body ostereo arthritis as they say, so those things and
it's your structure of your body as well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:41):
So really.

Speaker 21 (01:17:44):
That's it's hard to explain when it comes to your
body that it's just one in million really that you
have that structure to perhaps if you know what I mean,
it's all to do it for your life and that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
But interesting, here's something interesting, right, James, here's a thought
for you. And I couldn't answer this, but I could
now how many born and socket joints do humans have?

Speaker 21 (01:18:15):
I reckon on you beit four?

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
You're right? Where are they?

Speaker 7 (01:18:20):
Well?

Speaker 21 (01:18:20):
Your hips? Ye? The other two on sinking new.

Speaker 3 (01:18:25):
Shoulders the shoulders, the hips and shoulders, thank you, and.

Speaker 7 (01:18:32):
Yeah, smart.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
The thing I think about the hip joint, that's the
thing is because they've got to put the titanium rod.
They've got to bang that right down the Oh what's that?
What's your the fema? That goes right halfway down the fema.
So imagine the force to get that in there. That's
the bit. That's the bit that terrifies me about it.
I don't know how. Don't look at videos, but you

(01:18:55):
know the titanium baller going all right, and the socket
would be replaced, But how do they get that stem
into the fema. That'd be hard work. Any It's Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 23 (01:19:05):
Oh, I have a market. I had a replacement just
sixteen years ago, and my first at home. The husband
had headed off to the farm and I got myself
seated in a chair, put my crutches beside me. Next thing,
the cat comes in with one swish of his tail.

(01:19:29):
He seem the crutch is flying. Luckily my mum he
checked on and check on me so and I've left
the front door open so she.

Speaker 24 (01:19:40):
Was able to rescue me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Could you could you not move well?

Speaker 23 (01:19:43):
I wasn't sure how. I was kind of had the
fear of God putting into me by the medical stuff,
so that I had to be so careful not to
wreck the new joint.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
Was a line called for the how are you going
to go farming? He could have not gone out for
one day, couldn't he?

Speaker 23 (01:20:06):
Well, my mother had offered to come over, and I
was sure I was going to be alright.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
Yeah, typical cat. Typical cat move that way.

Speaker 25 (01:20:16):
Oh I know, I know, A spiteful yeah, but yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:20:22):
Back then, I considered myself very lucky because when I
hear the horror stories of the long waits today, I
think because I was considered young for a hip operation,
I had managed to get in on a cancelation, so

(01:20:42):
I only had to wait three months from the time
that they decided I needed the operational though I'd been
diagnosed with arthritis in the joint many years before. I
was very beginning of June, and after six weeks I

(01:21:05):
was able to make myself useful again. Their caws had
just started calving, and once I got into the pit,
I was good for putting cups on.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
So that's the answer.

Speaker 12 (01:21:16):
I was very lucky.

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
That's then. Remember it has been right since those in
the nice sixteen years, you haven't had anything else needed
to be done.

Speaker 23 (01:21:22):
No, no, And the other hit spine. I think it
stemmed from a childhood and injury. Actually, yeah, I would
you like to know a little bit more about the.

Speaker 15 (01:21:40):
History, Yeah, I would.

Speaker 12 (01:21:43):
My GP.

Speaker 23 (01:21:46):
I was going to him for something unrelated and he
saw me walk in and he said, I reckon that
you've got an arthur a hip and I'm thinking, O,
surely not. I'm far too young for that anyway, sent
me off to have it x ray and the report
said nothing to find here. Anyway, it might have been

(01:22:11):
two years later even that same thing saw when we
walk in, goes ice. We've got it joint.

Speaker 11 (01:22:20):
So I'm going to.

Speaker 23 (01:22:21):
Send you to my mate and WANGANII. You're getting to
see him fast. And I've never forgotten his name. He
was got the shatwell well it was shitwell shat well yeah.

Speaker 13 (01:22:33):
And then the packet.

Speaker 23 (01:22:36):
I took this packet of X rays and there was
the original X ray but nothing to find here, and
the new X ray and he pulls out the old
one and he goes, goodness, you can see that you've
been favoring that league for a long time. Look at
the width of the bone. So the leg that I've

(01:22:57):
been lying on, my least leg, had a much blicker
bone than the one that was in strife.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Yeah, had you had a character as a child?

Speaker 16 (01:23:10):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:23:11):
Oh, no, I actually came off a horse.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
Horses are dangerous, aren't they. The number of people brutalize
themselves on the horse.

Speaker 23 (01:23:19):
Yes, And we didn't have a horse on the farm
I grew up on. But our neighbors had a horse.
And I was always envious of the neighbor's children, and
unfortunately that they all got to run. Oh my dad,
I came off in a hurry. M. Yeah, that's well,
that's what I put it down too.

Speaker 3 (01:23:39):
So they seem to trouble the horses. They seem too
far off the ground.

Speaker 10 (01:23:43):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:23:44):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
I can't work ou I'm going to run. Look, but
that's that's like, they're just terrible. I don't going to
go a horse ride when they are. No, actually do
I really want to fall off a horse? Any people
want to know how old you are.

Speaker 23 (01:24:02):
I'm going to be seventy this year, So.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
You're fifty four when you had it done. That is
your isn't it. Yeah, you're still on the cap. No, oh,
you're missing.

Speaker 23 (01:24:13):
No, we sold the dairy farm two years ago. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Now you just travel the travel the world.

Speaker 12 (01:24:21):
Do you travel the world.

Speaker 23 (01:24:23):
Well, we've got a camp pass.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
That's pretty good.

Speaker 26 (01:24:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:29):
Nice to hear from any thank you, because he wasn't
a good mood tonight, aren't they. Marcus an ex soldier,
a hip replacement and the hip was replaced by do Pie.
Device seemed to work well, but with metal on metal
his chromium and I can't remember the other product that
got into the blood. I don't sid try to read them.

(01:24:49):
I don'tully understand it. Get in touch if you want
to talk Marcus till twelve. Hold your horses, Louise, I'll
be back to you have the headlines. My husband thought
he had pulled has grown at the gym. I'm doing
X rays and ultra sound. He was diagnosed with in
both hips. He had a bilateral hip replacement two you
two years ago. It's been life changing. He's been paying

(01:25:09):
for ever since and it's back at the gym training regularly.
The results have been life changing. He's fifty nine and
feels great. Wow. And then there's the other side. Kurder
marcuson fortune. My husband I hit replacement ten years ago.
It almost cost Himer's life. He was that one of
the thousand that developed and defection of the new joint,

(01:25:32):
ended up with multi organ failure. Fifteen surgeries later at
a new hip replaced, but is now in a wheelchair.
Changed his life forever. What happens when you put five
tons and a trailer rated two tons of suspension collapses
twelve zero Penwrith over South's fifteen minutes ago in the
first half, although saying that Rabbitos have just scored, but

(01:25:56):
the last trial was just allowed. That's a situation there.
I'll keep you updated with that. There are a couple
of lines free Snedden or b Beban at midnight there
Dan Beban was Jim wouldn't say where he goes what
he I wonder where it is? Mikey Bebban along at
midnight Louise, good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:26:14):
Ah, happy birthday, Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:26:16):
We thank you so much.

Speaker 16 (01:26:20):
I'm not going to devolve I know how old job
and not say my lips are filled.

Speaker 6 (01:26:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:26:28):
I've got two stories about hips. My brother in law
had a hip replacement about six six seven years ago,
and he got an infection and he was back was
in forwards and that was in Fords, and he could
be in the end he could barely walk, and so
they took him back in and hit the hospital and

(01:26:51):
redid it, and I think he's okay. Now, I mean
he's a skinny guy. He's a very fit, yet very fit.
He is a forestry consultant, so he goes out and
measures out from the forest and has to go up
and down you know, hells and stuff like that. So

(01:27:11):
I think that's what did it. And I think his
knees are gone to cool guy. But that other poor
guy fifteen operations after his hip replacement.

Speaker 3 (01:27:20):
Would you rather have your knees go or your hips go?

Speaker 16 (01:27:23):
Well, they reckon neither worse. But yeah, I've had both
knees done hips. Yes, well last year a year ago,
I fell and broke my hip or just just slightly
below the actual ball joint, and so I ended up

(01:27:43):
in Palmi Hospital and evidently it was like powder my femur.
So they had to put a great big nail all
the way from my palvis right down to my knee.
And I applaud those people. They did an amazing job.

(01:28:06):
I nearly died because I lost so much blood. They
took them ours to actually stabilize me after it, because
it's very vascular in there and as people have said,
it's quite a brutal operation to do anything like that.
On the sigh and around the heap are a lot

(01:28:27):
of blood vessels, you understand, Yeah, a lot of blood
vessels and are pretty brutals. This great, big, long metal
thing in my hip. So I think that will be
all right now, just have to watch I don't fall
and break the other one. So yeah, it's there's some

(01:28:48):
terrible stories, isn't that. Poor woman? Oh poor Shirley, Oh dear.

Speaker 3 (01:28:54):
She seemed in good spirit. Yes, you don't know talkback.
It's so unjudgmental. We can't see people. I mean, you
never know who's looking like a reacon who's not, because
it's just their voice. Yeah, you're not judged on your
parents or anything. It's just what That's why I like it.
It's just your voice.

Speaker 16 (01:29:10):
So yeah, yeah, yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:29:12):
You know.

Speaker 16 (01:29:13):
Pami Hospital has a bad rep. But they were amazing.
They were amazing. And then I was in Star in
love In for three weeks as well, and they were amazing.
That is the best place to go. Absolutely. The food's
even almost edible.

Speaker 3 (01:29:33):
Are they out?

Speaker 5 (01:29:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:29:37):
I don't know what they do these days, because the
food was better at Star than it is in Parmi.
But the nursing staff are just amazing. They're just so busy.
The poor people, they're just so understaffed.

Speaker 15 (01:29:54):
What can you do?

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Can you do it nice?

Speaker 21 (01:29:56):
Here?

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
From other weise Richard, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:29:59):
It's good evening, Marcus. Yeah, I've got a story about hips.
I've had four hips. I had first too when I
was about in the early fifties, and they lasted for
nearly twenty years, and then I had another two after
that when I was about seventy four. And I had

(01:30:21):
a knee replacement about twelve years ago and it broke.
My knee replacement broke and fell to pieces, and I
thought it was dragging that leg around for quite a while.
And the last twelve months I've been through the hospital
system and they've just replaced it and it feels like

(01:30:44):
a bloody shock absorber off a Kenworth truck. It's real
solid and it's every the one I've put in this time. So,
but you don't want to dislocate a hip, because I've
done that too, and that's really painful.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
Why do you think you were hitable needy hip replacements?

Speaker 27 (01:31:01):
Well, well, I've had arthritis in.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
Thanks to do it doesn't it? Yeah, it does, so
you get out rights just to your hips, or you
get in your shoulders as well.

Speaker 27 (01:31:11):
No, I've only only got it in the hips. I
only got it in the hips. But when you're dislocated, man,
that's painful. And then then I got carted off to
the hospital and they put me on fentanyl or something
pretty hard and solid, because when I was under they
had two This is just in the ward and ed.

(01:31:34):
They put had a couple of orthopedic surgeons there and
they missed it the first time and evidently and got
it the second time when they got it in. And
it was my birthday and I was having a party
at home and hosspends at a hospital. You're right now,
Oh yeah, I'm fine. I had this new knee in
for about eight nine weeks now, so I'm just starting

(01:31:56):
to get rid of the crutches and go to a
walking stick.

Speaker 3 (01:31:59):
Brilliant, Tiffree, We go to take care twenty three away
from eleven. We're talking about hips. Anyone got to the
seven week clas where you got to learn if you
need to get your hips done or not. I'm interested
in that or your hip stories or why you think
you needed your hips? Why do some people need you hips?
Your thresher may I wonder what occupations are particularly bad

(01:32:21):
for it. I was going to say, I don't know
if any talkback hosts it again their hips done? But
what about Darcy, he's away for something. You get a
motorbike extant? I think anyway, that's the plans stand What
about the hips? The old hipperonies text if you want
to also or if you can. We're in hospital and
see manion fictions? Are infections after knee replacements compared to hips,

(01:32:42):
better blood supplied to the knee. Murray texts. Nice to
hear from a few people haven't died in a hospital toilet?

Speaker 22 (01:32:50):
Thank you?

Speaker 21 (01:32:52):
Oh do?

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
Mark's had a full replacement of a hip at thirty
nine that was a result of an injury sustained playing basketball.
Post four letne sued you head to the removal of
a redge of bone taking to enable the even weightloading
of the knee joint. I'm six fours. That reduced the
length of my leg by two centimeters, so thirty years
they I need a hip replacement at the age of

(01:33:19):
sixty six. Replacements doing fine, but the right hip is
now needed to be replaced. I'm having a hit replacement
on Monday the sixth. The robot is doing it with
an orthopedic surgeon overseeing. Hope all goes well. A bit nervous, dude,
I hope there's not a power cut.

Speaker 5 (01:33:32):
That word.

Speaker 3 (01:33:32):
They will have emergency generators. Heather By hip hip.

Speaker 28 (01:33:38):
Do you want to know what caused it? Well, I've
got to have well, I've had one hip done a
couple of years ago, sitting on the tractor for twenty years.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Cheapest creepers.

Speaker 20 (01:33:50):
Disking, just just mowing and harrowing.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
And they've got real it sounds really harrowing.

Speaker 28 (01:33:58):
They've got real fancy air seats now that push you
up and down up from the year, whereas in the
old days it was sud bud and I got it.
I had well, I've got two hips and two knees
to get done.

Speaker 6 (01:34:11):
I've had one hip.

Speaker 12 (01:34:13):
And it was Everybody said, it's real easy.

Speaker 15 (01:34:16):
It was a little.

Speaker 28 (01:34:17):
The next morning it was a very traumatic because it
was well, but like a shark had actually taken a
halfy body away.

Speaker 22 (01:34:25):
But yeah, it was.

Speaker 25 (01:34:28):
It took me a little while to get up.

Speaker 28 (01:34:29):
Because I got motion sickness and I kept passing out,
but I think on the second day I managed to
get up.

Speaker 3 (01:34:39):
I guess the ground's quite uneasy when you're on a
track to the whole time, isn't it. There's bumpy also, yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:34:44):
Yeah, I found that. I didn't actually realize it was
wrecking my hips as well. I knew my knees were
going because after all days sitting on the track, I
would get off and it would take me a little
while to be able to get my knees working. I'd think,
oh shit, yeah, so I've got to suss myself up,

(01:35:04):
get the next hip, and then the knees, which are
apparently worth which probably scares me the most.

Speaker 3 (01:35:12):
Did you go back to the tractor?

Speaker 17 (01:35:14):
No?

Speaker 28 (01:35:14):
I hadn't been back to the tractor.

Speaker 22 (01:35:16):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
I wouldn't either.

Speaker 6 (01:35:19):
I couldn't sit on it now because.

Speaker 28 (01:35:23):
Both my knees are pretty pretty bagged. I have to
be careful when I walk. I don't twist and turn.
You know how sometimes you can twist and turn on
your knees and they're not really a stable I'm very
very careful.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
When are you booked in for that? When I get
the guts, Oh hey, do you need us to talk
you into it.

Speaker 28 (01:35:44):
Uh no, no, I'll be right. I got to I
think I'll get my other hip done next, and then
my two knees after that, one at a time, so
it'll be a few years down the track of operations.
That's yes.

Speaker 12 (01:35:59):
I think it's just the waiting up the next morning
after it all.

Speaker 28 (01:36:03):
It's because it's really.

Speaker 12 (01:36:04):
Hit your body.

Speaker 3 (01:36:07):
Well, if you'd have a pleasant time with motion tick
this last time, you'd be worried about that too, won't you.

Speaker 12 (01:36:11):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 28 (01:36:13):
I'll go go somewhere else this time to a slightly
more kinder surge, and I think.

Speaker 3 (01:36:26):
I would two sixteen to eleven keep it going. Nice
to hear from your chirsty, good evening.

Speaker 29 (01:36:32):
Good evening, Marcus. I just turned in and heard you
talking about hip replacements, et cetera, and I just I
want to encourage anybody that if they have been put
off and suffering a poor quality of life, it is
an absolute game changer, and just to keep pushing, I
had to go through my MP. Unfortunately, there was a
few little hassles. I got turned down at my local

(01:36:55):
DHB we're in a smaller area, and then my news
practitioner referred me up to crush itch and was told
I'd get put on a little and just for the
wonderful proactive MP's personal assistant or whatever they call themselves. Ultimately,
I had a replacement hit last year in June. Now,

(01:37:18):
i'd been teaching relief teaching through all this, and I
went on to about I'd say I went onto a
cane for about or three months. I was really struggling.
I've had arthritis diagnosed in it after a fall off
a horse since two thousand and three, and it was
I've had the new hip for just on twelve months now,

(01:37:40):
but in the December that sort of said I was
on the cane and been really struggling. And then I
grabbed some crutches off a friend in January because my
daughter was at an athletics meet and I just could
hardly move, and I said, can I borrow your crutches?
And man, that was a game changer. So I didn't
actually go off them. I couldn't put any weight on
it until I had the surgery. But I just I
couldn't believe. It was like, you do not know what

(01:38:01):
you've lost until you.

Speaker 5 (01:38:03):
Get it back.

Speaker 29 (01:38:04):
Does that make sense? It was just and I just
think there are some people that say, oh, people need
it more than me. But I was fifty, Like I'm
fifty four now and I've had it twelve months and
I held up veryvery quickly. It was I had a
great surgeon, and I locked up myself. I did everything right,
but I held so fast. And I actually just had
my twelve month review just last week or the week before,

(01:38:27):
and the doctor looked and he said, can I have
a look at the scar. I make sure he goes,
oh my gosh, that's held so well. And the thing
for me was little things, the little things like climbing steps,
you know, to be able to actually climb the steps
one at a time. Again, I want to get back
on a horse. I used to ride, and I haven't
ridden for a while, but I'm just going to yeah,

(01:38:48):
we'll leave that one for a while. We might just
sit on a horse soon. But nothing else. And it
gave me my life back. It actually gave me my
life back. And there are people out there who are
just like, oh, you know, I'll just have to wait
and I have to put up. It's important that if
it is really affecting your quality of life, that you
follow it up. So I just wanted to encourage people

(01:39:09):
to just it's hard. I know that this time last
year the government pushed and they actually they wanted to
get into the waiting list and so they actually put
a lot of them out to the private sector. I
didn't get that. I was at public at Burwood and
I couldn't have been treated better. And it was just
so funny because I've been on crutches for so long
and they get the wheelchair out when you wake up,

(01:39:31):
and you know, we can get you to the bathroom
and all that, and I'm like, no, just give me
the crutches. And the CEO just about fell over the
fact that I just grabbed the crutches and off I went.
And then yeah, there was a bit of pain involved,
but the thing is, it's so worth it. And I
heard the last call and just say about, you know,
when I get the guts to you know, she won't

(01:39:52):
know herself when she gets another new hip and two
new knees.

Speaker 3 (01:39:55):
It's just I just think, what happened to your hips?

Speaker 29 (01:40:00):
So I basically had a four, which I think aggravated.
But to be honest with our writers, it just started
as when my son was twenty three now and when
he was a baby. I started getting some pain and
the doctor said to me, it's either first sight is
or arthritis. So we had the x ray in two
thousand and three, and when he's above and he goes
bad news, it's arthritis.

Speaker 12 (01:40:20):
It was mild.

Speaker 29 (01:40:21):
Wellin about less than ten years it was, it had
moved to moderate, and by probably the last four or
five years it had become very severe. And I was
bone on bowing And the surgeon said to me when
he saw me at the hospital, he said, there was
nothing less of your hip, and I'm not telling a
word of a lawyer. Unfortunately I had to wait. But

(01:40:44):
I was six months from January right through till June
on crutches, unable to put a single ounce of weight
on it. And I was a mother with two teenagers
at home. Still I've got my other kids are growing up.
I was relief teaching in the classroom, so you can
imagine how hard it was.

Speaker 15 (01:41:00):
But I just sucked it up and just help with that.

Speaker 20 (01:41:04):
Yeah, yeah, but I did.

Speaker 29 (01:41:06):
I cannot spend highly enough of James Meager's you know,
and his office, and they were just so caring. And
then when Barwood got on board, and it was just
so you know, they were just so compassionate once once,
but it was just a matter of they can only
work with what they had in terms of waiting lists
and things like that. But the initial reason I got

(01:41:26):
given was, oh, no, there are other people there that
need it more than you. And this is what they
tell people when they don't accept you, when you don't
even get onto a list to see a surgeon, They
say there are people in greater need than you. And
I just wanted to punch them because it was literally,
how do you know? How do you know what I'm
dealing with? How do you know that I'm trying to
run my life and at fifty years old, still what

(01:41:49):
plenty left in me and having to you know, not
being able to walk, and it was I just was
so grateful you know that it was available, But I
just think it is hard because some people like you
say they do suck it up and they think, well,
there is people in greater need than me.

Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
But I found out afterwards that you said you said
suck it up, Kirsty.

Speaker 29 (01:42:12):
Well I should check it out.

Speaker 3 (01:42:13):
Yeah, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 13 (01:42:17):
Yeah, I'll put it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:18):
Nice to hear from your Kirsty. It sounds like you're
in good form. Brilliant I seven Evening Margaret's Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:42:25):
Welcome, Hello, Marcus's in the nineteen sixties, my mother she
had us risers and both of her hips, so she
had to have the replacements.

Speaker 3 (01:42:36):
Wow, that's should be one of the first.

Speaker 14 (01:42:38):
Yeah, she was, she was, Marcus. So what the doctor
told mom, you're not to cross your league missus Anderson. Well, actually, mom, mom, mum, mum.
After the uperation, of course, she did across the leaves
by mistake, and the whole hip joint popped out. Wow,
And she had to go back in the hospital and
they had to they had to push bacon. She had

(01:43:01):
to go to the hospital pushing bacon. But the doctors
tell you who were a cushion between legs to get
used to the idea of having the replacements, but you
can she was able to cross the ankles ankle a
free to ankles. That's only that. That's all Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:43:17):
She is.

Speaker 3 (01:43:18):
How did she last? I mean, how did did those
hips last?

Speaker 14 (01:43:21):
For all her life? Most of who she she died
in two thousand and five.

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
Oh wow, that's another fifty years, almost forty five years.
That's great, but.

Speaker 14 (01:43:34):
It's interesting, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
I suppose you get more muscle there or something. I
guess they'd be less likely to pop later on. Yes,
well it's an early one. Thank you for that, Margaret.
Keep it going. People talk more about this afternoons. It
looks like the Warriors have signed Moses Liota. That's a
talk on the internet. He's one of the great buys.
Too expensive now too with a salary cap. But that's
maybe what's happened with the Warriors blockbuster signing. That's the

(01:43:57):
talk on the internet. Internet. Marcus high Marks, Oh my gosh,
you can see why the health systems overwhelmed all these
hip hop Maybe we need to look way key. We's
have weak hips. That's what happened to my partner driving
old milk tank because it's done his hip and spied
on his back. The seat was rough as maybe the
drivers would better off kneeling. Older people tend to form

(01:44:21):
more often and also carry more weight during the dots. Yes,
I tripped on a step. I was light in weight
and broke the neck of the FEMA clean cut and
a replacement just screws and rods. Screws and rods. But
an I was one of the first people to get
a HI replacement done a Middlemore and mids of late
nineteen sixties. I remember visiting her. She had a tent
blanket over her Well, I don't know what a tent

(01:44:43):
blanket is, but I'm sure we'll find out. Good evening,
all welcome. Market is still twelve. I hope it's goodish
where you Irish? First weekend of the second half of
the year. How are you fitling about that? Been kind
of plain sting the first half of the year in it. Oh, well,
not for Iran, but you know what I mean. I

(01:45:03):
mean for I just try and as broadcast, you're trying
to trade these things, DeCamp, compet mart compartmentalize the years,
school holidays too. I haven't mentioned that we are taking
the children to Momona to put them on the plane
to stay with their grandmother. They still have a grandmother,

(01:45:25):
not my mother. It's where they're going, bless them. So
that's what we'll do. And I think for this is going.
I think he's got off to Australia for a week
or ten days or something, so I'll be on the
farm working on my hips. They say it's bad for
the high country farmer as the hips but anyway, I'm

(01:45:46):
sure I'll cope, so I don't. I think we've probably
got don't know what's happening from a broadcasting, but I
presume everyone's on holiday. That's the way it goes in.
And I just saw there was a roster came through.
I'll be away on its management. I think he is
staying the same as management. That's head for the hill.
But on them are we running the show anyway? I
think most of the hosts will be on here. Well yeah, yeah,

(01:46:10):
and it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:46:12):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:46:13):
It's and here.

Speaker 3 (01:46:14):
You've got a lovely voice and the clear phone line
and you're coming through so well, oh land Is it
a landline?

Speaker 12 (01:46:22):
No, no, it's not the same line. It's a mobile
phone call.

Speaker 3 (01:46:26):
It's a good one.

Speaker 12 (01:46:27):
Good good dogs tell you what the same thing. People
keep moving my little things around on the phone, you know,
and it annoys the hell out of me. And you
know they're wan't going to do acts. I don't really
know yet what an appers. But look, I've rung up
about hips because I'm in my eighties and several of

(01:46:51):
my friends are all going in for replacements. It's costing
one thousands of dollars because they're going private and and
I thought, oh, I'm all right. And about a week before,
came home from having coffee with friends. I live on
my own. I'm an apartment and I'm doing something in

(01:47:14):
the lounge and as I stepped back, I tripped over
something that I've left on the floor and sort of
crashed down and fell. The first thing that fell on
hit the floor with my hip, and it was incredibly painful.
That I got my phone was a reach, thank goodness,

(01:47:36):
and I rang up my youngest son. I said, oh god,
you know I've had a fall. And he came out
quite quickly and his his a partner said.

Speaker 23 (01:47:50):
I and you'll have to.

Speaker 12 (01:47:54):
You'll have to, you know, we'll have to get the ambulance.
And eyed, I've never had anything like this ever ever,
And I said, oh, I don't want the ambulance. You know,
I'm living here.

Speaker 16 (01:48:07):
And I.

Speaker 21 (01:48:10):
And a small village stole.

Speaker 12 (01:48:14):
And then there's and my daughter and all said, look,
you've probably broken your hip. And I did fall on
my broken I've never had a broken bone. And I
thought if you broke your bone, you'd hear it sort
of crack, but Anyway, the ambulance arrived and I don't

(01:48:34):
and they sort of looked at me, and you know,
and I was in a lot of pain. But why
I'm really ringing is because okay, and I don't even
remember I had to I'm on the second floor of
an apartment block. Somehow they got me down into the
lift and down I went and ended up at Hut

(01:48:55):
Hospital and got wheeled and had had an operation the
next day and they kept me there for two weeks.
And do you know what the market thing about? It
was all your meals. I'm gluten I like gluten free, yes, yes,

(01:49:17):
gluten free? Which now? Which would what would you like
for breakfast? And what would you like for dinner? It
was a bit like a holiday for me and it
didn't didn't cost me anything, and I was just thinking
the help. I know, the health system is knocked a lot,
and I can see there are problems. But I'll tell

(01:49:40):
you what if you have an.

Speaker 3 (01:49:41):
Accident and had you snapped your or correcked it or
what was the NA cracked?

Speaker 10 (01:49:50):
I had snapped. I'd snapped it and then they screw
it back together. And it's taken me six exactly six.

Speaker 12 (01:49:59):
Months, and I'll up and about and walk around and
doing doing fine. First of all, you're in a a walker.
Then it's crutches and two people sort of a couple
of district nurses. I was two weeks in the hospital,
came home, and for the next couple of weeks, district

(01:50:19):
nurses came helped me have a shower, I'll tell you what.
And also when I was in the hospital, it was
Christmas time, So I was there on Christmas Day and
there's all these beautiful decorations around, and just the whole
feeling was really quite nice, and I wasn't in a

(01:50:41):
lot of pain because everybody was running around doing things
for me. And I just feel the public hospitals do
pretty well. And I've actually heard somebody tonight talking about
a public hospital that she was in, saying how wonderful

(01:51:02):
the nurses are. And you know, on Christmas Eve, these
young doctors and nurses all got dressed up and coming
to the ward and they're carrying an armful of Teddy Bears.

Speaker 13 (01:51:14):
And.

Speaker 29 (01:51:16):
I thought, oh, what are they doing with that?

Speaker 12 (01:51:18):
We all got a teddy bear each. He's sitting on
a chair at my bedroom. So I just wanted to
give a for the you know, for the public, the public.
You know, if you have an accident, you can you're
well looked after six.

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
And six months on. Is your confidence still good? Does
it sit you back or you still you're still You're
still as as mobile and as active as you were
for the accident.

Speaker 12 (01:51:50):
Absolutely. Look I am a little bit careful. I notice
walking on the footpaths and up gutters and things. I'm
I watch where I'm walking, you know. But six months
they say six months to a year to mend. So
I think I'm doing pretty well. And you know, it's

(01:52:14):
no I just wanted to say, you know that, you know,
we were so well looked after that was what I
really liked about it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
Yeah, you put that across free well and thank you
so much. And there we go, sixteen past eleven. That
is Anne goodness. Oh wait, I'm not sure if anyone's
mentioned this, but this day, ninety sixty nine, Rolling Stone
front of Brian Jones drowned the swimming pool. He was
twenty seven. He had alcohol and drugs in his system.
I guess that should read he had alcohol and other

(01:52:46):
drugs in his system. Talk if you want to, or
just listen. Listen in it's happy hour and hour here
till twelve Beban Mikey Beban long at midnight. But in
the meantime, I'm happy to talk to you. The people
of New Zealand, get in touch. Oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nineteen nine to the text, heaps
phapshaps America A happy American Independence Day? For what happened

(01:53:13):
on this day? Could someone tell me the history of that?
I should know what happened? Where does that go from
American independence? There'd be something signed, I suppose. Anyway, That's
just a bit of a side topic. I suspect that

(01:53:34):
Taylor Swift's wedding is a bigger deal than twter fifty
years for America. Will that be right? On this day?
On the fourth of July seventeen seventy six, the Continental
Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, severing
the American political colony ties to Great Britain, life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. I think Taylor Swift has

(01:53:56):
done all of that. There was something interesting about the
funding for that, or the money or that I think
there was involved with I can't remember the details. Let's
get back to Hips eighteen ten pen with over the South,
the Rabbits the Rabbit o's sixteen past eleven head or
twelve Sandy, It's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:54:17):
Good evening, Marcus, and happy birthday, Thank you, Sandy. I'd
just like to talk about hips. I think according to
my mother, I had very shallow hips when I was born,
but not dislocated. But I was an avid roller skater
and dancer. And back in nineteen eighty four eighty one,

(01:54:40):
I broke my left ankle and I thought at the
time that my hips weren't good, so I had to
wait thirteen years to have them done. And I was
forty eight when I had my first hips done at
the Southern Cross Hospital in Napier, Wow. And it was pretty.
It wasn't a very nice experience, and I paid for

(01:55:02):
it because I had sudden cross at the time. But anyway,
it was well done, and dens Atkinson did it and
was very good at the last nearly eighteen years. Yes,
And then I was out at Mery door one day
and I slipped on their carpet and I broke two
inches off the metal rod.

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
Oh where would you say you were at Mary?

Speaker 25 (01:55:27):
I was at Mary door visiting at the time, and
I fell on the carpet and I broke two inches
off the metal rod. So I hadn't really written done
by two young, wonderful surgeons.

Speaker 12 (01:55:40):
I couldn't.

Speaker 25 (01:55:41):
They were absolutely wonderful. So that's that lasted. And then
that lasted up until now. But then I had to
have my left tip done and that was done in
twenty twelve, so.

Speaker 3 (01:55:54):
That's eight years old, okay, and that's going all right.

Speaker 25 (01:55:57):
Well, it left me a little bit wonky because originally
I was an inch and a half out between both
legs and they and I said to the surgeon, why
didn't you straighten me out? Because I tend to go
sort of over to the left hand.

Speaker 12 (01:56:15):
Side a bit.

Speaker 25 (01:56:16):
But anyway, I managed to do dancing up until two
years ago when I had a stroke, which has put
me back a bit.

Speaker 13 (01:56:25):
But you know, a chant what sort of dance?

Speaker 25 (01:56:29):
Oh, Forum dancing, Latin American?

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
Love it, lucky you.

Speaker 20 (01:56:34):
It's interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:56:35):
It's interesting you talk about the young I went on
a long walk, a five day walk not too long ago,
with a guy and he was he talked a lot
about what he liked to talk about was the right
age for a surgeon. You want them young enough so
they're freshly trained. But there's a key number of operators.
You don't want to be their first operation. But once

(01:56:57):
they've done a few, that's the best way to get
it done because they are are freshly trained with the
latter's techniques.

Speaker 25 (01:57:03):
Well, if I can remember rightly, I had Angus. I
had Stuart Andrews and Angerswickham with my revision, and they
were I would say, middle twenties.

Speaker 3 (01:57:16):
Wow, that's good, yeah, yep, okay, yeah, And they did.

Speaker 25 (01:57:20):
A wonderful job. They said it was quite a complex job.
And I have dislocated my hip once and that is
absolutely excruciating. It's it's worse natural operation goodness, and you
just looked at something.

Speaker 21 (01:57:36):
It's terrible.

Speaker 25 (01:57:37):
I was down on my hands and knees trying to
fix a water pipe and I got up and I
heard a crack and I was I was stuck hanging
onto the taps for about nearly half an hour while
the ambulance came. My husband couldn't do anything for me.

Speaker 12 (01:57:55):
I couldn't move.

Speaker 13 (01:57:57):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:57:58):
So but anyway, I mean, they do a marvelous job
and you suffer all the pain and then then it's
over and it's good.

Speaker 15 (01:58:08):
Do you still do you still?

Speaker 3 (01:58:10):
Do you still roller skate?

Speaker 29 (01:58:12):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:58:12):
I was last on skates at fifty five, but though
having had a stroke, I could just about do a
little bit of a wartz now.

Speaker 7 (01:58:21):
But only just where?

Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
Would you roller skate on the Marien Parade?

Speaker 22 (01:58:26):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:58:26):
Yeah, yes?

Speaker 25 (01:58:27):
For many years?

Speaker 3 (01:58:28):
Is there a rink there?

Speaker 6 (01:58:29):
There was?

Speaker 25 (01:58:30):
Yes, it used to be wonderful there.

Speaker 3 (01:58:32):
You do backwards and everything, do you I did a.

Speaker 25 (01:58:38):
Little bit of hockey, some dancing, and freestyle and speed skating.

Speaker 3 (01:58:43):
Goodness, was that with roller blades or did you do
roller blading at all?

Speaker 23 (01:58:47):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:58:47):
That was the old fashioned vintage skates, you know, the
four wheels.

Speaker 7 (01:58:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:58:51):
Did you ever try roller blades?

Speaker 14 (01:58:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
No, I wonder iful. I'm surprised you were curious about those.

Speaker 25 (01:58:58):
When I went back to England from my oe, I did.
I did ice skates in three places. I skated in
Paris and Auckland and Wellington. I loved ice skating.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
Ice skating is great. Ice skates once you get going
on ice skating, fantastic.

Speaker 12 (01:59:15):
You've done it yourself?

Speaker 3 (01:59:16):
Oh yes, brought up at the rinks?

Speaker 25 (01:59:19):
Yes, well, I could do the I could do the
sideway splits, possibly because my my hip you would have you.

Speaker 3 (01:59:28):
Does does that mean? Does that mean it came ton't?
I don't even know shallow hippers.

Speaker 25 (01:59:33):
Well, the walls not sitting properly in the in the
in the cradle, it's sort of out out to the side.

Speaker 3 (01:59:41):
Your mother would your mother would have known that well,
I don't know.

Speaker 25 (01:59:45):
I think I was told, probably by because I went
to see four surgeons for for specialists and we got
to hear that that was probably.

Speaker 3 (01:59:58):
Why shallow hips.

Speaker 15 (02:00:00):
Yeah, okay, low hips.

Speaker 25 (02:00:02):
But no, it doesn't stop me. I mean, I lost
my husband fourteen years ago and I'm on my own
and I managed to do just about everything.

Speaker 3 (02:00:11):
Sounding sound like you do very very well.

Speaker 25 (02:00:14):
Yeah, I just I was eighty last month, So.

Speaker 23 (02:00:19):
Yes, I think I'm doing quite well.

Speaker 3 (02:00:21):
So nobody to talk to you, Sandy, Thanks so much
of that tweets. Even about eleven, I don't know how
many times I would have gone ice skating Gingerness. Two
buses to get there and then a walk there. Anymore
speed skatering put them wipe out, you go backwards. Happened

(02:00:42):
all around the world with ice skating. It was a
thing in the seventies. Different sessions now I've been to
ice skating recently with the kids who have been to
queens Heading Gore. They sort it's a bit funny now
they give them sort of giant they've gotta wear helmets,
which does make sense because it's quite a hard thing

(02:01:04):
to fall onto. We've gotta wear helmets. Imagine that.

Speaker 7 (02:01:06):
I think you do.

Speaker 3 (02:01:08):
And when you're young you push around a giant penguin,
it's not the same. It feels quite undignified. You do
have to carry we're a helmet. But it's probably hard
to fall down onto, isn't it. The ice surprised it's
not banned. I had a guy text me to day.
He's out there listen to talk back working on the
ice skating rink at eric. I don't know wear that
as are town must be a new one. Used to

(02:01:31):
be ice skating in Queen's Park and in Vicago was
cooler in those days. There was a number of outdoor
skating rinks around the South. Once upon a time, Once
upon a time, it's Bush Creek Road. There's an ice
skating rink created by passionate locals. Goodness, now it's exactly
half past eleven. When I say exactly nothing's there for

(02:01:54):
exact because you're listening to this in delay, so when
I say something, you're hearing it eight seconds later. So
nothing's ever really exactly, is it.

Speaker 16 (02:02:00):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:02:01):
I took myself back to my ice skating days there
for a while. Dave, this is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
Yes, happy birthday America. Two hundred and fifty.

Speaker 3 (02:02:11):
Years and years from what independence?

Speaker 2 (02:02:18):
Yeah, from a British rule, pretty much the birth of
the United States is well, not as we know it,
but as we know it today. But anyhow, state of
origin does interrupt the season. However, what a fantastic competition, Marcus,
What a spectacle, and what a fantastic advertisement for rugby

(02:02:43):
league around the world.

Speaker 3 (02:02:44):
And it's good that it's won all too. I mean
that's I don't think Laurie Dailey's much of a coach,
but I like the Blues, but I think that the Yeah,
I don't know how well they're going to go. They
seem to play so barely last time.

Speaker 2 (02:02:59):
Yes, yes, I think to our owns fishing the first
one where here he has to I had a bit
of agreed, but hey, the helmets and the ice skating,
I know that came about. No power when that school
girl fell backwards on the back of the head, and yeah,
that's where I came.

Speaker 3 (02:03:20):
It makes sense. It's a very hard surface to fall onto.

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
But Marcus, would you I know I shouldn't really judge,
but if you're going to fall over, do not put
your hands out. I have always said that about my pushbike,
you know, pushbike into school every day. Never were a
hard hat mate, never wore a helmet because they weren't there,
they weren't thought of. And but I've every time, well
I hadn't been I hadn't fallen off, but I've been

(02:03:44):
knocked off my bike, I certainly, and I've fallen.

Speaker 5 (02:03:49):
On my head, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:03:51):
But you put your hands out, I know. It just
seems strange to me that you fall on your head.
You know, if you put if you're going to go down. Yeah,
that's my way of thine.

Speaker 21 (02:04:00):
Enough.

Speaker 3 (02:04:01):
I had a funny enough had an extent cycling at
the velodrome, right, and I'd miss it was like a
corporate challenge. I missed the first week and just went
the second week. But I missed. I missed the lesson
that you don't put your arm out. It just fall
on your shoulder. But what happened is that the woman.
The woman pulled out and everyone tipped over. I was

(02:04:21):
at the back, but I put my arm out and
did the collar bone. In hindsight, I probably should have
just gone down, but hadn't trained or practiced to do that.
But certainly I didn't hit my head. I can't remember
we had helmets. I guess we had helmet on.

Speaker 2 (02:04:33):
Is that my natural reaction to put your arms here?

Speaker 3 (02:04:37):
But I guess I could have thought about it. I
would have just learned to just kind of lean into it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
Yes, I'll say, you didn't fall on your head. But
it's good to have Marcus back, the old Marcus perhaps
and had birth you.

Speaker 3 (02:04:49):
Too, Hey, are still on your bike?

Speaker 6 (02:04:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:04:53):
I bought a pushbike today to the hot pools, and
I went there and came back and she's packed up
here beside me, the giant twenty nine inches fantastic.

Speaker 5 (02:05:03):
Well, I'm enjoying it.

Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
I watch your comments. Zero there one?

Speaker 7 (02:05:06):
Is it on?

Speaker 3 (02:05:07):
Seven?

Speaker 5 (02:05:07):
Seven?

Speaker 3 (02:05:07):
Seven? Seven?

Speaker 22 (02:05:08):
Is it?

Speaker 16 (02:05:09):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:05:10):
It's four.

Speaker 2 (02:05:12):
Four If you really want.

Speaker 3 (02:05:15):
To know, I don't like I don't like twenty nine
inch wheel. I don't want to steal your bike, but
I reckon you're lazy and I reckon your Your combination
is four times to say four ones? Change it, Dave.
I've been felt terrible if your bike goesm only to
be video camera. And the good people in Christians they

(02:05:37):
wouldn't take someone else's bike, would they? Did you? Are
you a nice scanner?

Speaker 15 (02:05:41):
Dave?

Speaker 3 (02:05:41):
We're gone, Patricia, And to Marcus.

Speaker 20 (02:05:43):
Good evening, Oh, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 22 (02:05:46):
I'm just ringing to say that I've had two hip replacements.
I've had one for twenty six years and one for
twenty two.

Speaker 5 (02:06:00):
Joing very well.

Speaker 3 (02:06:02):
A lot of people must have had them, and they
seem to last forever.

Speaker 8 (02:06:05):
Do they?

Speaker 4 (02:06:07):
Well?

Speaker 22 (02:06:08):
At one time they used to say that would last
for ten years, but I've really out shown them. I
had them done in public hospital and they were actually
marvels to me, and I think I did everything that
the surgeons said I should do afterwards, which was good

(02:06:29):
because I was able to play golf again. Oh good, yeah, yeah,
and then I had to shoulder replacements.

Speaker 3 (02:06:38):
Is golf baid for hips?

Speaker 22 (02:06:41):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (02:06:42):
Is golf baid for hips? That's swinging?

Speaker 21 (02:06:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (02:06:47):
The hips are the best thing I ever did. Unfortunately,
I've got a lot of arthriters, and that's what the
problem was. I had art writers from being a teenager,
you know, and I'm eighty nine now, so I've done
very well.

Speaker 3 (02:07:03):
Do you still play? Do you still play golf? Patricia?

Speaker 22 (02:07:07):
No, Unfortunately I had to give that away, which is
really annoying. Of course I really enjoyed it. Yeah, I
can mention, yeah, but I still get outen the boat.
I'm still able to drive, and what have you saw
have been very fortunate.

Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
Well, that's great you're still driving. Nice to hear from you, Patricia.
Thank you, Thank you for calling twenty one away from twelve.
If you want to be a part of the discussion
the hip show. Marcus, I knew this old farmer Michael
McCool was his name, Tough as nails. He finally gave
in after his family nagging him for months and went

(02:07:45):
to the doctor. Turned out to be walking around for
a year doing fencing and chasing cattle with a dissicator
that never complained, just put up with it. Good evening, Tim,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:07:55):
Yeah, good eving, Marcus, happy fair.

Speaker 3 (02:07:57):
Thank you, Thank you, Tim, Yeah, real good, brilliant.

Speaker 7 (02:08:02):
A little bit about ice skating and roller skating I
can only ever do one thing in either form, and
that was go very fast, a bit of a blunt instrument,
you know, just get the laps up and just keep
going a lot of fun over in probably the same
place you used to go as a galaxy, and it

(02:08:23):
was that Gleneden or I was, I was Paradise, Glenn
Gleanniness steps to one, Yeah, sort.

Speaker 3 (02:08:30):
Of wood a lot of wooden, sort of wooden beata
was yeah, sort of Ill look at some ill look
at some shots of it online. I think I'd like
to get up a nostalgia about that.

Speaker 7 (02:08:39):
Yes, so that was very exhilarating, as you well know.
And then you used to do a bit of the
roller skating up at Glenfield. There was something might have
been under the moor close to late seventies, early eighties.
Good fun and as the hips, I would say there

(02:09:00):
in my future, probably within the next decade. But I
do watch a bit on YouTube surgery.

Speaker 3 (02:09:07):
And uh, you're sick man. If you are, you're a
sick man if you're doing that.

Speaker 7 (02:09:11):
Yeah, I know, I put it down to education. I
just if I have surgery, I like to prepare myself
see what I'm getting into. Even though I won't know
it's happening at the time, but they hip bones. Man,
it's something else. I'll tell you. I'm glad I'll be
out when they happen. Yeah, I don't want to watch them.

(02:09:31):
You don't want to watch them.

Speaker 3 (02:09:32):
I'm looking at shots of the Paradise ice skating rink
and glenis what you might remember. It had a big mural.
It had a big mural of sort of mountains and trees,
isn't it.

Speaker 7 (02:09:42):
Yeah, it's vaguely familiar.

Speaker 3 (02:09:43):
Yeah, you have a look online shot.

Speaker 7 (02:09:45):
Yeah, but anyway, I'll leave you speak to someone else.
So this fine. But yeah, I hope briefdy day goes perfectly.

Speaker 3 (02:09:51):
And yeah, not dear from your tim thanks a much
of that fifteen to twelve. There's a big mural at
the ice skating rink Paradise and even the flared jeans
or you'd hold hands for speed skating, wouldn't you. Ginnet's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 24 (02:10:08):
Birthday to you. I've got a sister for the birthday
today too. She's just a wee bit older than.

Speaker 3 (02:10:13):
You, though she says like a special person.

Speaker 24 (02:10:16):
She is a special person. She's just a year and
thirteen days older than me, well, well, my mom didn't
even know she was having me. And they said to her,
you're got old sister, but you're also quite three months pregnant.
But my mother recognized I should have been born in September,

(02:10:38):
and I was born in July. Wow, I was five
pounds six when I was born on that but he
would go. I had a hip replacement four years ago.
They wrang me and said to me, would you like
to come and have hip replacement? And I said yes, please,
I've been an EGERI quite a few years. And so

(02:10:59):
away and I went and had it done. And I
came home on the first of April and I said,
you have to somebody stay with you for a week. Right,
that went just got his gold and person went away
home and that and I was here on the Saturday night.
I got up and went the toilet and came back
and got into bed. Just as I lay down, I
got this pain from happened to McGrain, and I thought

(02:11:21):
that's not quite right. So I rang my daughter and
she said to me, ringing hospital, mum, I'll hear at Q.
And I rang up in the leftness. I said to
to left the sky as the somebody there mortopedics. He said,
if you've got a problem, I said, I've got a
pain from the hip to mgrain and I've just had
a hippy place. And he said, hang up and dull
one one one straight away. So I hung up and

(02:11:44):
old one one one and got it three months and
three because from our ladies. Two ladies arrived and they
said to me, now I hop over the head to
your bed. Just roll over to the bed. And he said, well, look,
put you one under an arm and one or the
other and we'll sit on the wheelchair. And just as
I sat down on the wheel chair, you got an
a mighty crack and I meant really, really loud, and

(02:12:08):
they said, oh, we didn't like to look at that.
They walked to one another and said right, so, way
off the que we went, and they turned around and
they said to me, now, they said, don't move. We'll
just slide over on a onto a hospital bed. And
then they said we'll take you around and do an
X ray. And they said there's nothing wrong, can't see
a thing, and that My daughter was there with me

(02:12:31):
at a and and I said to her, I said
to get my cell phone out, and I said take
a photo. I said, I still like this something down
on them down my leg about three inches away from
where they hit this, and she took a photo and
here it was. There was a bump with a red
mark on it. That was where my hip joint ended up.

(02:12:52):
So I had that was on the Sunday. The Wednesday,
they took me back to surgery. They had two airs
and surgery for the initial hip replacement, so they did.
I did six airs in the theater and I woke
up and I had a lead brace from my from
my hip down through my ankle and full couldn't move

(02:13:13):
a leg anything like that. And they said to me,
you've got to leave that on for six weeks. And
they wanted to send me off respieing where I couldn't
come home with it well like that. So every time
they had to send me somewhere it was a lockdown.
All the rest homes were a lockdown. So they finally
got the stage where they found one and they said
to me, no, we've got one for you.

Speaker 13 (02:13:33):
Now.

Speaker 24 (02:13:34):
The last thing you've got to do before you go
to the first time have a covert test. And you
know what happened, don't you? Positive? That was positive? So
I got put into rehab and I went home, came
home from hospital fifty four days after I was actually
went in and that but the league brace, I had

(02:13:55):
them for fifteen weeks and it stuffed up the mussle
between my hipp and my knee. So I could get
my foot on the accelerator on my car, but I
couldn't get it on the brain. So I got myself
a mobility scooter and off I went around four round
in the cargo Warners b Andy scooter. But I've now
taught myself out to drive a game and even though

(02:14:17):
that muscle will never be the same again, I can
drive quite safely and everything else of good. But now
they're on minding up to do.

Speaker 3 (02:14:25):
My left one goodness positive story, Jenny, thank you. I'll
hold your horses be with you. So it's eight to twelve, Marie,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 26 (02:14:34):
Good evening, Hi Marcus hip Reie pleasedness. I've had both
both knees and his shoulder. My first hip replacement was
when I was fifty four.

Speaker 16 (02:14:49):
I'm no.

Speaker 10 (02:14:50):
Eighty five.

Speaker 26 (02:14:52):
And that's been wonderful. But the second one I had
about eight years ago, and he tore the glutes muscle
and also damaged one of this desk in the bottom
of my spine, and so that's been, you know, steadily
got worse over the years to the point where I

(02:15:16):
cannot walk very far and I had to use a walker.
But a couple of weeks ago I went to stand
and I've got half way up and I couldn't straighten.
The pain was really bad, and I pressed my medical
alarm and anyway, they said, if you go, if we

(02:15:38):
take to north Shore of six hour weight. So I
went to Shortcare and they did X rays which really
didn't show much. So then I go and have an
ultra down which showed that I had besids as well
in that hip, as well as a tear. And I'm

(02:15:59):
still waiting now for a physio at north Shore Hospital.
But now I'd probably overcompensating and the hip that has
never ever been a problem I had done when I
was fifty four. I just started to forget pains in
my growin to the point now where I use all

(02:16:24):
can stick all the time, which I never did before,
and I can't walk very far tall, you know, so
I know you've got no comeback when you have surgery,
and that the surgeon did tell me that he had
torn the glatse muscle, but nothing was mentioned about this.
It was my daughter, I am doctor, that told me

(02:16:48):
that my disc was Damia's as well. So really the
last one i'd done. First one was private at Southern Cross,
the second one was at North Shall and he was
I'd say, he's gone back to England now, and I

(02:17:10):
know you've got no comeback because you sign to say
you know when you're an operation, if anything goes wrong,
but you know, I think it's just if you're going
to have a hip replacement, just have a good talk
to the surgeon and make sure you know that they
know exactly what they're doing and you don't get the problems.

(02:17:33):
I've got.

Speaker 3 (02:17:34):
Appreciate you coming through that, Marie. Thank you and good
luck with all that. Carrie, it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (02:17:38):
Good evening, Tory, Marcus story of perseverance. Happy birthday, by
the way, thank you. A few years that char I
was on doing a day right well, I had did
they take over a bus for whatever reason and anyway,
I talk over this bus and I got to WAYU
and there was this elderly lady and she was coming
down the stairs and she has been helped by a

(02:18:00):
couple of people when I was a bit rushed off
at this, you know what, she's traveling on the bus
and the inherited this this situation. So anyway, we're in
the tea rooms right beside the right beside the bus
here and I was not talking to her, and she
explained how her last of her children had passed away
three months figh and it was her daughter actually, and

(02:18:25):
the last surviving member of her family was her brother,
and she was off to Hamilton to go and see
him with a cracked hip. And I couldn't believe it,
a like you know, like traveling on the bus but
peace avereance the last member of her family and she
was nineteen four years old.

Speaker 3 (02:18:47):
Unbelievable, unbelieved.

Speaker 5 (02:18:49):
Boy, I ended up dropping lot of her place. Actually,
of course that was Carrie. That was the right thing
to do, definitely, definitely.

Speaker 3 (02:19:01):
You knew that. I knew that that was absolutely in
trouble for it.
