The weird thing that for me was it's not that weird,
the weird thing, it's not that weird. But I had
a pot of water I had on the kettle, and
I had a pot of water on the element, and man,
it took four EVI to boil It must have taken
forty minutes. I took it off and the element was
red hot. It can't work it out for the life

(01:23):
about I've gone back and thought about it. Something had
happened to the water. It just wouldn't get a rolling
boil anyway. And I was doing that, I was thinking
cheapest creeps. I wondering out there were struggling with weird
things happening in their lives. So what's the weirdest thing
that happened to you? And I'm not saying that's weird,
but it was peculiar that the water just wouldn't boil.

(01:46):
But what it was, it was just something about what
normally took five minutes just went on and on and on.
I had some time dilation. Time shift got me baffled
into the world. No, well, I cope, yes, but there
we go. Just curious though, what weird thing happened to
you today? Let's check that out there and see how

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 10 (05:46):
Marcus.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
I had a funny experience today. I had to go
to the court in Albany.

Speaker 10 (05:52):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah, yea, because I had to was the last day
of the depending on the fine I've been given. Yes,
I didn't think about it, and I raced into the court.
Next got this two place there into your pocket, you know, okay,
And I had a really dangerous knife, right, but it's

(06:15):
a sailor's knife. It's got a big spike in a blade,
right and so.

Speaker 9 (06:21):
On?

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Hang on is the spike for splicing?

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, it's one of those sailors knife. Right.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I love a sailor's knife.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
My brothers he sailed at Bracilic. Anyway, I put my
VAP down on top of it, and I went through
an X ray and answered the standing there and next
they say, oh, you're cool, and they checked me off
the thing, and I got the knife back and walked.

Speaker 11 (06:47):
Into the court room.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
It was pretty weird.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's weird.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I could have caught a very you know, like a
dangerous knife if you used it properly.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
You wonder what sort of not what were they looking
for if a knife and a vape wasn't good enough
for them?

Speaker 12 (07:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
I mean vap was on top of the knife. I
should have did that. But I work on the farm.
I use it all the time.

Speaker 13 (07:11):
Good nice?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh yeah, not for splicing ropes.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
No, No, usually cleaning my gun boots or.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Did you get off your did you get did you
get off your phone?

Speaker 9 (07:28):
No?

Speaker 5 (07:28):
I got it in today, last day. So we'll have
to wait.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Have you paid it or just said you don't deserve
to pay it?

Speaker 13 (07:35):
No?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
No, I don't deserve any Wait, thanks very much, man.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, well, if you need me to sign up a
day and I think you're innocent, nol. We aren't with you,
Dan two and a half years. It's that's that's an
odd time for a partner to leave you because normally
they've got your sort out in the first two years,
or it takes a bit longer. O tell Ken to
google his router model followed Facebook and Instagram not working,

(08:04):
and if he gets an answer to check if the
route it needs an update. It means nothing to me.
What's the spot? Someone's to know what the spl splicing?
I think it's called a fit. Isn't it a splicing spike?
Did strange things happen to you today? People? Let me
know what the strange thing was. I'm just curious to

(08:26):
know how much kind of ambient strangeness is happening out
there for people. I don't want to do a night
on kwinkd inc. Is there anything I does? Won't know
if anything strange that's strange, that's strange. I lost a toothpaste.
I lost a tooth bas and toothpaste. Couldn't find them
anywhere there on a packet down the side of the chair,
out of the pocket, down the side of the castick.

(08:47):
That's where they were spent ten minutes looking for them.
Maybe it's because Mars and Jupiary close that strange things
are happening to people. It's a sissygy or it's something
like that an alignment. But yeah, Marcus, I've seen a

(09:11):
black rabbit yesterday afternoon, and then saw one this afternoon
on the side of the road. Ten k's from yesterday's
sighting trippy. I've never seen a black rabbit. Saw a
cow being born yesterday? Is that a calf? Wasn't expecting it?
There you go go, figure forgot the court and the router.

(09:37):
What strange thing happened to you today? Not like whoa,
but just thought, oh that dog? Because I find this
interesting in two ways. I find interesting what strange things
happen to people. But the real kicker is I find
what I find is interesting is what people think is strange.

(09:58):
It's one of the things I've always still interesting if
any time I've done a show about the supernatural or
about coincidences, that a lot of people out there have
really low bar of what's a coincidence. They could say
things like, oh, I was thinking about my mother and
she called.

Speaker 14 (10:15):
No.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Actually doesn't work quite will, But you know, people come
through with stuff that's quite vague, and then they think
that the whole planet's doing freaky stuff because some of
the thinking about rang them. You'll get the hang of it. Guy,
It's Marcus. Greetings and welcome.

Speaker 15 (10:32):
How are you, sir? How are you doing good?

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Thanks? Guy?

Speaker 15 (10:36):
Just you're you're talking about weird stuff. This is more strange.
I suppose it happened today at all, but wow, holding
a number. One time I was calling a number and
I got it, did it wrong? Anyway, an old man
picks up. He says hello, and for some unknown reason,
I decided to say my full name, and he decided.
He then said he recognized my last name. And he

(10:59):
just said, you're not You're not a limb son, are you?
And you're not? He and I was she sadly passed away.
But anyway, I said, yeah, I am. How do you
know her? And he says, mates, I used to go
out with her back in the day when she was
about eighteen? What and and I said, some, you know,

(11:20):
I got his name, I've got his number obviously, and
we had a little bit of a chat. I gave
the names to my mum and she ended up calling
him and they did. They went, they went out when
she was a young a young lass, and then they
ended up catching up. Obviously she's she was still with
my dad at the time, so I would have sort
of you know, having a phone call and reminiscent about

(11:41):
all times, but pretty random, a pretty freaking.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's really random. And tell you what were they're in
the same town? Still were you ringing someone was out
of your area?

Speaker 11 (11:49):
No?

Speaker 15 (11:49):
No, I was so I love in Auckland. I was
calling a friend in Auckland. He happened to be somewhere
down in christ Church or maybe a West coast, so
stilling still in New Zealand obviously, but.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Bits surprising because that's that's not much of a chance.

Speaker 15 (12:05):
Nah, yeah, just crazy. But for some reason, I think
that the weird thing in the whole thing's pretty pretty
weird in freaky. But I decided to say my full
name when he asked me what my name was. I
don't know what's what forced me to do that, because
when someone says what's your name, you don't often I'd.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Probably be a bit cage, you bet. And I don't
think you get wrong numbers much anymo, because no one
rings they text first.

Speaker 15 (12:28):
Yeah, your three fear This was probably ten twelve years ago,
where you know, someone might give you a phone number
and you look at it and your doll it into
your mobile. So but you're right, now you just sort
of push a button or push a name or a face,
don't you.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, well, absolutely well I might. I mean, yeah, I'm
not a wrong dollar. I'm a pocket dialer. I'm a
great pocket dialer. In fact, what I've been telling people
these days, I've been turning myself. I say to them,
I say, well, ill pocket dollar you later, because I
normally do unbelievable Larry Marcus, welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Larry, Larry Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, thank you Marcus. H I'm well retired. But in
the market this morning, I normally get the groceries and
the wife packs him when it gets when I get home.
Next part of their arrangement.

Speaker 16 (13:14):
We both like.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
That hang on, hang on, you you buy and she
puts them away. Is it how it works?

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, we sort of. You know, I like to bargain hunt,
probably like you. I think you're fairly frugal too, from
what I can estimate. And in the thuther in law's Dutch.
I won't say anything about that, but he's very frugal,
and he says tried us. I won't say that either.
But anyway, I was in the in the in the

(13:42):
road and a couple of rows. I was going into
the check out ladies. I saw this guy, God, I
know him, and his face on his left side of
his cheek was all bruised and bettered. I thought, God,
he's either had a bad operation or a buddy tracks
for him or something. Anyway, I got one, I thought,
I know that face. When I got around coming out,

(14:04):
he looked at me and I looked at him. And
about three weeks ago we had a big verbal altercation there.
And he's an old, older guy like me. And the
reason for it, Marcus was, I was down where you
get the bins where you get the different nuts and
you know, different little stuff there that you fill into
your thing and weigh them or whatever you do, you know,

(14:26):
and I had to ask one of the staff members,
so I know. I said, there's some Apridcotts square things.
I was going to get some from a wife. I
thought she'd like them, but I didn't know what they
were like. And I asked them, may I try one
to see what like? And he said you go ahead.
So I did that, and I thought, hey, these aren't bad,
so I've got to Whatever it was one hundred grams

(14:47):
or whatever, it was about four or five bucks worth.
And anyway, this guy saw me and he must have
seen me eating it, and he said, the same guy
that's got the bruised face.

Speaker 17 (14:58):
He said, you could go go to jail.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
For that, and I said, what do you mean, Oh,
you know what you're doing. You could go to jail,
and I thought, well, you know, maybe I could. Anyway,
I left it. But going around the aisle, so bumped and.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Lane guy, I mean, sheep has none of his business.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Well, it's not so much, said he might have caught
the tail end of it. But I had been given
I'd never take anything in my life, but I had
been given permission by another guy who I knows through
the delicatest. He knows me well and to manage Yeah,
and yeah, you go ahead. I'd never But then again

(15:38):
I thought, how do you know what it's like to
your taste?

Speaker 7 (15:40):
That sort of thing?

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Okay? And I was quite willing to pay for the
extra police when I went down that was going to
be a issue. Anyway, I bumped into this guy again
and he's talking to someone else. But I could see
that he is talking to this other guy about me,
and that I could go to prison and all that
I sort of I sort of got a little bit
tissy and said, I said, we're by old woman yeating away.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I bumped into it and again and.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
He's not working there, he's just he's just colin customer.
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (16:14):
A Tuesday? And it's the d O V S it's
old magas on Tuesdays?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
What's the o V?

Speaker 4 (16:21):
It's my own saying do O B. We're all pensions dottery,
old b.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
You can move the coffin dodgers. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
good there, okay, you do you the coffin Dodgers. Yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
That myself. I thought it was quite good. You can
use it sometimes. Market to him again down by the
cheese isl and eggs and all that. And I put
my hand in and I.

Speaker 16 (16:43):
Said, look.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
Shakes hea and tried to you know, reconciliate and all that.
And I said my name, and he said mind your
own business and he and he brushed past me with
his head up in me and I said, so much
for that. And a young guy there looked like a
training He sort of turned around and a right smile
on his face and said we had a bit of
a verbal trying to make up but he doesn't want to.

(17:08):
So anyway, today when I when I was going out,
I did say, John g you look like you've been
in the walls and he said yes. I fell over,
he said, I wasn't even drunk. So from there on,
when you had a bit of a talking, I said, well,
I hope you get better, and and all of a
suddenly become a bit more on their demeanor and a
lot more civil and in the level it was quite weird.

(17:31):
I don't know if you'd call that weird or not.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
It's a fantastic story, Larry, it's a fantastic story. The
best bit was so they got these apricot slices at
the Delhi, right.

Speaker 16 (17:42):
Yes, is it what you call them?

Speaker 11 (17:45):
Not?

Speaker 4 (17:45):
At the Delhi and the we'd bins that you pull
out and you.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Got ye and you are someone and you are someone?
If you could try one?

Speaker 4 (17:54):
No, I asked a staff member who's actually one of
the delicate and he happened to be getting a trolley load,
probably for a customer to take pick up load, And
would you mind if i'd tried one of these please,
because I don't know what they like? He said, yet, no,
go ahead. So I've been given permission.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
And were they going and what Larry?

Speaker 13 (18:19):
What?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Actually? Were they.

Speaker 12 (18:21):
So little?

Speaker 4 (18:22):
We sort of a square fruity, kind of flavored Apricot
squarees something very nice, very they were.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
That was the question. They are good. I wonder what
they're called. They're in the like the scoop food, like
the Allison Holst mix.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (18:38):
And all yeah, scoop food, yeah, and that sort of category.
It's a wool Worst countyown And I was all say
it because that's we've got.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
What size will the Apricott square bee probably.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Around about fifteen by fifteen and about the square and
about six seven millimeters thick.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
And they're not spring good with coconut or anything, are they?

Speaker 16 (19:08):
They're very.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Solid and dense orang slaver. If you look at them,
you think, hey, the Apricot maybe squares on. I don't
know what they but they're very nice, very tasty.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Well that worked out for the supermarket because they let
you try one and then apart from getting into the
altercation without falling over, guy, you did actually purchase some,
didn't you?

Speaker 17 (19:30):
Well?

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yes, but I thought, well I didn't want to buy them.
You know, they're not cheap these things.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
You know, did you buy any or not?

Speaker 13 (19:38):
In the end?

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Oh I did. Yeah, it's run about four or five
bucks worth.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know that's what we want. I don't go a headline.
That's a good story because someone tell me where things are?
Where would you look, Dan? Would would there be anywhere
on the countdown website? Would you call it the bitten
food or the scoop food? What would you call that range?
But Bolt food? Bolt food. Dan's worked in supermarkets management

(20:04):
Countdown Bolt Food. Because it's such a good story, such
a good story. I mean that guy's got I mean
like people that got their own tombs for things like
the Roger Riser the other day. Why don't remember they
go with the Rodger Riser. I think it might have
been pre Olympics Roger Isser countdown a bulk food range.

(20:25):
It was true in the Olympics, but it was he
was going to the supermarket and he was buying a pizza,
but making his own pizza. Was buying a pizza then
and go He had gone by this guy the Roger Eyes.
He'd gone buy a pizza and the one he mentioned
was cranberry. Now was chicken and smoked chicken and walnut

(20:45):
and apricot sauce. So go to the supermarket and he'd
buy that I found Oh yeah, I found a picture
of the food. They've lost it. And then what he
would do is he would oh, yeah, I can't get
the I'm going to get the lark, and well, how
do I go? Bigger? Control? Bigger? Oh control, and score

(21:06):
of the mouse hanging. I think I might have found
something here. Now I'm driving with miss Daysy. No, I
can't get it. So this guy, this guy the Roger Eyser,
he'd go, say'd buy a pizza that was smoked chicken
and cashew and apricot sauce. Then he would go round

(21:27):
the supermarket and he would buy smoked chicken and cashew's
an apricot sauce and kind of supercharges pizza. What's that about?
Who'd even think of doing that? I see the texters
know what those things are called.

Speaker 18 (21:49):
Nope, text, someone's won the text machine.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Mark is this call has been the weirdest thing that
happened to me today? I agree? But one of the
topic could have wrung that up on How could I
get into a topic like that. You don't know the
stories you're going to get because you don't know the
stories you're not getting because how can I start a
night saying, well as anyone had a fight over the
how can I even get into a conversation like that,

(22:27):
apart from saying anyone had a narrow escape at the
supermarket when you were mistaken he thought to be pinching
stuff from the bulk food containers. There there's some great text. Honestly,
some of you guys should, but I've just got to
recover from that. Call the weird thing that happened to you? Today? People,

(22:49):
what's the weird thing that happened to you? And we
had three pretty weird things one guy's computer. There's about
four things, is there? Anyway? Just going back to Larry's story,
I thought the guy was going to have gotten fight
with another customer. That was going to be the that

(23:11):
was going to be the twist and the resolution of
the story. So I was surprised to hear they had
fallen over sober I've found I think it's called bulk
food bulk foods fruit slice, Apricot Delight thirty six sixty aikilo.
So the guys brought one hundred grams and that's happened.
Add to trolley, country of origin, pecked and using from

(23:34):
important ingredients, doesn't say what's made out of but that's
pretty good. He does the shopping. The missus unpecs it
extra credit text. We're also having homemade pizzavan. Some stories
just write themselves. Cheers Nick Suddy Nelson. It's Apricot Delight, Marcus. Yummy, Marcus.

(23:57):
Please don't start singing the bloody Mistasy song. Now all
my word will end right now. There's been a couple
of good new jingles. I thought, what was the other one?

Speaker 16 (24:05):
I like?

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Dan, there's an on the jingle that I sing along to. No,
it's not the shower, but it's not the crown focus.
There's another one that's just recent. Is it the case
that the wardrobe one? There's a wardrobe one that's quite good, Marcus.
Last week my life was fine. Today my husband has
been a mental health gift that ever seven days now
when I visit, the other guests are doing the stuff.
I no longer judge. I longer think anyone is weird.

(24:26):
Thank you. It's a Walworth's product called Apricot Delight. Oh God,
hi there, guys, I whaton if that dude wants to
try everything in the bloody soup maker, good grief, and
that is out of the bloody bulk bins. I've heard
it all now the mind boggles. Hey, we should all
try them, Oh dear, we all hope for better callers.

Speaker 8 (24:45):
Joy.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
People are quite triggered by this, Marcus. It's called the
pick and mixed cheers, Harry Marcus, bulkbin, Apricott, slice squeeze.
Basically no one knows what it's called, but sounds delicious.
Newgar is something I can't spell. It is what is
he has talked about? You spelled Nowgar? Well, Marcus. Not
weird but rare. How's this? At eight am? For Kaka

(25:05):
birds arrived, been coming to the garden from a month
extra friend today. So one hung upside down off the
gutter and looked inside through ranch sliders. So I went
out with a bit of toast. She popped off the
roof into my jumper, hopped onto my arm, had a
bite of toast and played with my silver bracelet. Not weird, strange,
but kaka are quite rare, mainly on an Aquiura island,

(25:28):
but great to see they are setting up on the mainland.
Thirty clay thirty k's to fly over to a tartara
in the cargo to our beautiful native reserves. Love listening
to chat well, pretty treesy or tartara. It's pretty amazing, Marcus.
One would think it is the same black rabbit as yesterday. Marcus.

(25:51):
What I'm finding strange is a sudden increase to the
price of a block of butter. What's that about. There's
hardly any butter out of six dollars make your own mark.
A strange thing. Was going to talk to my daughter
in the car about wheat go to university. It's a
big decision. Thought I'd wait till the next song to play,
and it was Ronan Keaton. Guess what song it was? People,

(26:17):
you say it best when you say nothing at all.
So we didn't have a conversation. Very strange day. The
smile on your face reminds me, Marcus. Weird moments. They
went to unlocked my car at the shops, thought remote
battery went dead, use the manual key, only to realize
inside downlocked someone else's car. Marcus Wednester. The day only

(26:42):
put my foot on the brake five times on the
Auckland Southern Motorate at nine am. So strange. So the question.
The topic was quite straightforward. Did something strange happen to
you today?

Speaker 19 (26:53):
What was it?

Speaker 9 (26:56):
What?

Speaker 3 (26:56):
I like this is because it's everyone. Did the guy
that rang up Dandy think that was strange? He wasn't
quite sure it was, he Larry, because it was pretty strange.
If he's actually asking people to try stuff from the reckon,
that's strange to be asked. I think he's strange. Is
he strange? I'd never ask. I mean, you try something,

(27:16):
you'd buy a little sumblevant and try it. Goodness, I
think it's the freedom medical and they're singing along to
that's right. That is the freedom gives you a piece
of mind. Of course, everyone gets different jingles on the radio,

(27:38):
and the cargo's got some great ones. By the way,
all A, all lay, all A, it's one of the best. Marcus,
I rodg your eze. My store bought pizza with eggs.
Eggs on pizza, next level, Marcus, I rod your eze
all the time. Meat feast from the soup market, six

(27:59):
bucks take home, add more cheese, bacon and mushroom, Medelian
herbs Rocks. Chris, I don't think the eggs. I don't
think it adds rocks. I think it rocks Roger Riser.
He did something else to Roger Eyzer with a breakfast,
but he got a bit carried away with like I
was auditioning his cookbook there for a while. Anyone else

(28:19):
tried those Apricot squeaz I'm not big. I'm not big
on those scoop foods. The weird thing about Larry's story
is if he thought that the guy compiling making up
orders for Countdown head jurisdiction to give approval on whether
a customer can help himself to the scoop. But you've
got to go to management for that because the other guy's,
oh yeah, whatever, flip. And of course in Countdown, you

(28:45):
know they've asked the staff to dress up as Disney
characters because they're giving away those cards. Flip, Josh Marcus welcome, Yeah.

Speaker 17 (28:54):
Marcus, you wanted stories about confidence? Is that what I'm hearing?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Well, I was making an allusion to how we did
that sometimes, And I always find interesting what people think
got coincidence is not really coinstance. But if you've got
a coincidence, you want to share that. We were talking
about people had strange things happened to them today.

Speaker 17 (29:15):
Oh I see, yes, No, no coincidence. Now, I'm very
fond of coincidences.

Speaker 9 (29:20):
Hey.

Speaker 17 (29:20):
Look, a couple of weeks ago, I was in contemplation.
I was saying to myself, now, should I water blast
the side of the house? And I was thinking, yeah,
how shall I do it? What machine should get? Should
I hire a decent one, should I borrow a mate one,
et cetera. Just sort of go through the contemplation. So
the other day I get this call from the Lander

(29:42):
and they're saying, hey, look we're going to do it.
We're just going to come on mate and water glass. Fantastic.
I mean, hey, I know it's no forty four million
dollar Lono ticket.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
No bonus for you not having to do it.

Speaker 11 (29:59):
Oh yeah, man.

Speaker 17 (30:00):
But but the thing I can't work out about this. Okay,
obviously there's a million things you can do around you.
I thought it was priority. I didn't actually think I
didn't know anyone else thought it was on the carts. Wow,
that's what that's what interested me.

Speaker 11 (30:17):
Really.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
Okay, Well, Donia, thanks for that, Josh. But what we
were to are strange things that happened, weird things that
happened to you today. We don't actually celebrate weirds. But
that was a bit weird. What was going on?

Speaker 20 (30:28):
There was a bit weird.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Might be something that happened. Oh, get in touch, Marcus.
Weird things. Why Talma or Petrol had a special on
today and the email said it was because it's the
thirteenth today, but it's not even Friday. I thought that

(30:51):
was weird. Well, what are we celebrating Black Tuesday now? Anyway,
I got a ten dollars free petrol. That's quite weird too.
How would you get it free? It all happened on
a Tuesday. Who doesn't because it's too for Tuesday at Dominoes?
Remember there's something too. By the way, the other day,

(31:16):
I took the kids to the Alice Road KFC, and
I've always been quite disparaging of KFC, but g was
a slick operation, immaculate.

Speaker 9 (31:38):
And swift.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
We'll see the food was there before we all finished
ordering it. I've never come across a fast food thing
quite like it, because in the past KFC it's been
full of rubbush and there's people left there immaculate. Anyway,
I don't know why I'm telling you that, just because
it was so unexpected. Hello John's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (32:00):
Hello Marcus. Good to talk to you. Just a weird
thing that happened to me. I think you or someone
mentioned at about this is about three o'clock in the morning. Oh, yes, yes,
there was something that I I was going to look
at the Jupiter, Yeah, the Jupiter and mark in the

(32:25):
line or something.

Speaker 16 (32:27):
So I went.

Speaker 12 (32:28):
I went out to the to the front porch to
have a good look, and it wasn't very clear. There
was a you know, I could see the odd stars,
but I couldn't really see anything special. But I do
live in a a residential area, but there is some
sort of bush area not so far away. And there's

(32:52):
the odd deer that wanders along the roads at night here. Yeah,
just the the young deer, you know, the well they're
not exactly formed, but they're sort of teenagers whatever the
teenager life is. But there was about a dozen of
them sort of looking over the fence at me, over

(33:13):
my gate, and I don't does occasionally they'll jump over
my gate and mess up the lawn and they do
a lot of popping. Yeah, so I got a handful
of gravel, well pebbles out of my garden so that

(33:33):
wouldn't hurt them. But I shot it up in the
air sort of above them, and they all took off
like bloody scared cats and raced back up the road.
You know, this is about three in the morning. I
hope I didn't wake up too many owners or neighbors.

(33:54):
But yeah, it is a little bit weird because I've
seen one or two before, but I haven't seen a
whole herd of them. And they are white. I'm sure
they're wild, they're not.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Are you Are you and the city, John? Are you
in the country.

Speaker 12 (34:08):
No, I'm in the city. It's in a an arimo
in a it's a it's a suburb.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yeah, okay, yeah. Is there a big reserve in near
I mean where would they be?

Speaker 12 (34:19):
Well, it's there's hill there's some hills which are farmed nearby,
but they they the deer. I've talked to neighbors about
and some of them have put up wires above the
gates just to stop them climbing over their gates. I
don't know why they come down anyway. I mean, there's

(34:40):
plenty of greenery up in the hills. Yeah, well the
suburb does. There's another sort of rows of houses and things,
but then there's bush behind that but.

Speaker 10 (34:54):
I know, I know.

Speaker 12 (34:55):
All I want to do is to sort of let
them know that my place is likely to get stones
thrown at them, but I don't want to hurt them.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
That's quite uncanny to be out three o'clock and then
to see twelve. I mean, to not be alone like that.
You didn't see anything in the sky in the inn?

Speaker 12 (35:13):
No, well, I didn't see what anything spectacular.

Speaker 11 (35:18):
I like.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
It's a good story, John, Thank you for that. Neil
ats Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 21 (35:25):
Hello there, Marcus, hope you and yours are well. Macis
fashion mate mouse. Something very unusual and quite wonderful happened
to me today. I have to just preface it by saying,
I'm an old man, I'm disabled, and I make myself away.

(35:47):
I'm a mobility scooter and I always have a sleep
in an afternoon. Well, I came, had me a cup
of tea, laid on my bed, started to doze, and
all of a sudden, Marcus, I was running. I was
running like the wind, and I'm nearly bald, and all
the hair was flowing behind me, and it was spitting

(36:10):
with the rain, and the rain was stinging my face,
and it was just wonderful and I jumped an impossibly
wide stream. Wow, that's really my story, Markers.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
I mean, Neil, that's a great dream.

Speaker 21 (36:29):
It's wonderful. And I mean I can barely walk, never
mind run, and I was running right the wind.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
How long has it been since you've run like that? Neil?

Speaker 21 (36:41):
Forty forty on the hear? Wow, I think it's something
he's new with the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Marcus, you were you weren't breakdancing. You weren't break dancing
with you, Neil, I.

Speaker 21 (36:59):
Might be old and disabled. I've got more pride than that.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Yeah, well exactly, I tell you what. That's the right
thing to say with that woman wasn't really god, Neil,
thank you for that that voice. When are we starting
the voice agency? We're talking the strangest thing that happened,
or no, not the strangest thing. We'll ask if anything
weird happened today for you. And the stories have been fantastic,
including Neil's dream you had to hear and he was

(37:26):
running and he's confined to a mobility schoolter as he said,
they're good stories, very good stories. Get in touch. I've
got a temey story coming up, Johnny Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 11 (37:45):
Oh good evening. Yes, I think Neil's got a great
XC too. I can't be wrong. We sounds like a
scouse if like a Liverpudlian may be wrong. Hey. A
weird thing that happened to me today, which is a
common weird thing, was a bloke I've been thinking about
having seen for a few months randomly ring ring up
reading some advice, which was quite funny because my partner

(38:09):
said to me a few mornings ago she had a
dream about him, which is the most honest thing. And
another strange thing that just happened is put out to
the universe, because I've had a few things like Portercott
and you know, some baby stuff, and drove past the
SPCA shop and here they were in the in the
free thing outside, the very things I needed.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
In good commission, and they just been dropped off.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (38:36):
Yeah, it just happened to be going past on the
way home, and and yeah, my partner says, you have
to look over there, and and bang there's a pullineer
and there's a Portercot and it's not too staged, it's
good condition and nearly new.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
And are you are you any new members of the family, Johnny, Yeah, yeah,
it's right, yeah, Wow, when when's When's?

Speaker 6 (39:01):
When?

Speaker 3 (39:01):
When's due date?

Speaker 11 (39:03):
I'm not not really an outstanding mate.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
How old are you, Johnny?

Speaker 19 (39:14):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (39:15):
First, good on you.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
You got five and phone. Oh that's excited, Okay, wont
ask too many more questions. That's good news, john I'm
excited about that guy. Baby's baby's babies. There's always good.
But don't let the cat out of the bag. Get
this today out of the blue. Cousin Joy send her
brother Jason my flat made an online gift from Timu
as a potential new customer. She then told to accept

(39:39):
the gift, but after confirmation, was told to let the
Timu app. She will get two gifts, the one she
gets from Timu and the one Jason will get the post.
Cousin Joy has four phones, four phone numbers, and four
accounts with Temu. I couldn't do that. By the way,

(40:00):
It's only going to be a matter of time before
there are support groups set up for people that are
addicted to online junk. I'm hearing stories of people that
are just surrounded by Timu stuff striving. The Courier is mad.
People are buying stuff they don't need. Beach to their

(40:22):
own everything, give me a holler eight hundred eighty ten eighty.
Speaking of where you'll Hearry Peppering in the old number.
I'm getting a bit sick of saying the current numbers.
I'm going back to the old one occasionally. Yep, what
are they going to do? What are they going to do?

(40:42):
Dismiss me for saying the number? Weird? Anyway, get in
touch Marcus till twelve weird things. I love the guy
with his They reckon it might have yogating it, that
kind of that Apricot square that guy was into. Yeah,
I don't even know what you're supposed to do and
taste those things. I guess you just buy a few

(41:02):
of them then go back Bolk Foods they're called. That's
where he was hanging out, the Bolt Foods. I reckon.
There's a lot of people just hang around the supermarket
looking for conflict. Not me, but that's what it sounds
like is happening. I try not to talk to people

(41:23):
in the supermarket. Oh, I talked to this person that's
hanging around the self I quite like the self checkout.
Well he just does it peck and say with the
self checkout. Gosh, you've never seen such crowds, but they
were just cleaning half of them, I thought sorted out.
Then one gay head of me was making some comment
that in the cargo was getting too big, too many
people with peck and say. I didn't join in that conversation,

(41:47):
just just listening in. Marcus, I'm loving the number again,
always been my favorite. Well, I try not to have favorites,
but ge that's a good number. Marcus commissioned a belcom
and bean test at the new sub vision. Balcluther. The

(42:08):
engineer asked for calibration certificate on test equipment lab was
confused and said, first time in forty years they've ever
been asked. Told me they would sort relief. Wow, get
in touch. A lot of people giving advice to pour
the kettle, ball the kettle at the same time. Sometimes
they will boil the kettle at the same time. You

(42:30):
always think that's a bit sort of disrespectful to the
pot to always say, hey, pot, I know you're a pot,
but I'm going to use the kettle instead and just
use you at the very end. I think it's a
bit sort of not really honoring the full function of
the pot to use the kettle.

Speaker 12 (42:50):
That's just me.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
I'm sure, other people have different ways of looking at it.
Good evening, Angela. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 22 (42:56):
Hi, not Marcus. I was giving petrol today and the
lady in the next sort of eye over was fill
a new car, and she'd stop the nozzle and then
she would push, like rock her car a bit more,
and then she'd squeeze a bit more.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
What you are doing all the eyes looking what's.

Speaker 10 (43:23):
Going on there?

Speaker 22 (43:24):
Yeah, and she's like it was like being in a
ragby scrunch's pushing and then she'd squeeze it like another
drops and and then.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
I know, I have never like a modern car and
old car. What sort of woman.

Speaker 11 (43:45):
She was not looking?

Speaker 10 (43:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 22 (43:49):
She's a middle aged lady sort of driving a Japanese
sort of card and it's a Honda or something. I
wasn't really.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
Details.

Speaker 19 (44:03):
So what was she doing?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Did you say? Did you say anything?

Speaker 22 (44:06):
Oh, I just build my mouth something you want, you know, w.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
So she she'd rock it, she'd rock the carr and
squeeze a bit.

Speaker 22 (44:17):
We'll guessing yes, yes, And I thought, it's just like,
what on earth are you doing? Woman? I felt like
saying something, but I thought she looked like the kind
of lady that would tell me to go jump in
the lake. I have never seen that.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Like city or like country folk are in the city.

Speaker 22 (44:39):
Well, I was actually driving I live in and I
was driving up to Cambridge to a friend of mine,
and and I realized, I thought, oh, I just need
a coffee to get me up to Cambridge. So I
thought I'll stop. Yeah, and yeah, I stopped at TV
at the BT there and and we'll get some catch.

Speaker 9 (45:03):
Time.

Speaker 20 (45:03):
Did you do well?

Speaker 22 (45:04):
Probably ten or steen times. She's been getting like a
table sprint and every time it's just bizarre, absolutely bizarre.
And I'd, like anybody else, she didn't.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
She didn't appear to be unwell, No, she had.

Speaker 22 (45:26):
I think it was a rental car. She she did
a lot late. She was maybe Chinese or something, because
there's a lot of stuff in her car. And I thought, oh, well,
maybe she's a tourist. Maybe that's what they do in
her country. It was just bizarre, absolutely bizarre, this little
car that she would and she was a little woman,

(45:48):
and she's just how was she.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Was she putting her shoulder into it and then giving it.

Speaker 22 (45:54):
Yeah, And so.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
I've spent a lot of my topic. I've never seen that.

Speaker 22 (45:59):
No, neither of I I was thinking because I did
travel around the around the top of the country quite
a bit. Yeah, crazy absolute. So has anybody else seen
this angel?

Speaker 3 (46:12):
I'm forget. Could someone say, what's going on there? People
got no idea, no idea? What's happening? It is the
world coming to rock in the cars? Marcus? Does it
been used? This sprning on driving? Is the frequency hot
between regions and two different newsreaders words were virtually in

(46:33):
sync despite being in different locations. Wow, different newsreaders. Mike
who being Marcus? Welcome?

Speaker 10 (46:45):
Hey Marcus, how are you tonight?

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Real good, Ben real lady?

Speaker 10 (46:51):
Just caught up about shaking the wagon? Yes, yeah, putting
putting picture one, It's sure, lady putting picture one, shaking
the wagon? I do that too. What happens is, yeah,
picture take with Mike Case. I got a diesel, but
diogle can't get's earner. But you get a bit of
a shaker and Google Google, and the people goes down

(47:13):
the line. You put the more ready to get it full?

Speaker 3 (47:15):
How would you know You've got to be a bubble
in there?

Speaker 10 (47:18):
Oh, it happens every time. So we're not following up.
I've got a high luck with the fact kick on
it and the plot comes up the side and it
always falls out there. But yeah, you just get a
bit of a shake shaking away.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
So would you would you get like another liter in?

Speaker 10 (47:36):
Ah? Yeah, you probably get another five by leaders. Should
everyone do it well again if you want to?

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Has it always done? Has it always done that? Or
is it something there's a fault that does it?

Speaker 10 (47:53):
No, it's just a you can't it's hearing it And
as you're following it up, the egg gets trapped and
it tries to blow out, and you know, like, yeah,
the fuel starts coming at your spell all the thing,
and then you give it a bit of a shake
and the fuel just disappears and you put a bit

(48:14):
more suner.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
There was a private seeing more people doing it. Ben,
thank you. It's a good explanation. Liam. Hello there. About
fifteen minutes ago, a strange thing happened. I was in
my backyard when I heard noises coming from my roof
neighbor's roof, the sounds of corrugated iron been underweight. I investigate.
When I hear my name being called in a soft
but panic, I look up to see my neighbor on

(48:37):
the roof. After an explanation as to why they are
up there, they tell me they have locked themselves outside
while taking out the rubbish, and decide to go into
the roof to get through the back door. We live
in a joint complex, being the man I am, I
start my rescue a tip and I travel across the
whitdery lord and my socks to get the ladder from
the shed. I place it on the side of my

(48:58):
house and say to my neighbor, hold tight, let me
get my shoes on. You're about seven feet away on
their part of the roof at the stage as a
fence around blocks. We're getting closer. I put my shoes on.
Hearing copies a bunch of straining, craged iron sounds by now,
surely my neighbor has made of the laver letder and
are ready to descend. No, they have taken the ladder

(49:20):
up onto the roof and taken it upon themselves to
attempt a solo letter descent about ten feet. Good will take.
My neighbor refused to drop the letder back into my
yard so I could hold it, as they didn't want
to ruin my roof, So kind of them. After about
ten to fifteen minutes of them struggling and me saying,

(49:40):
this is a strange event, and my mother wanted to
call the fire brigade. Plus their foot going through their patio.
They made it back onto the solid ground. We gave
them a Sawbet ice cream to calm the nerves and
now they're back home, safe and sound. Strange mission successful.
Well fancy people having sawbey these days, changing world, isn't it,

(50:02):
Sorbet Marcus, she was burping the t to get more fuel.
I'm an older lady and I've done it and seen
it done at Ray. Marcus rocked the car to get
rid of the air in the tank. To get as
full as you can, Maniah, I shake my uth wi
fulling it it gets to the air lock out of
the tank and get more fuel in it. Marcus rocking

(50:22):
the car again extra leit or some in the tank.
It's not recommended, but if you're going for distance, the
pump and filler are designed to leave an expansion air
gap ulige in the top of the tank. First time
ever that anyone's texted the word ullige, which I'm a
big fan of, so a big tick to you. I
doubt that's ever been texted before Alige. Now I'm driving

(50:47):
with Miss Daisy m Get and touch people. My name
is mar Arkas. What weird thing happened to you today?
What about that? Going in for coincidence? I'm an a coincidence.
People love a coincidence, don't they?

Speaker 9 (51:05):
Not me?

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Even we do a show on a coincidence, the people
wring up and say, well, here's the thing. I was
born on the twelfth of August and my mother's birthday
is the eighteenth of August. Different year. Obviously, they say that,
and I'm going to try and act surprise. For goodness,

(51:28):
say what next? People love people with close together birthdays
in the same family. I'm sure what to say about that, allege.
So what weird thing happened to you today? People? Get
in touch. My name is Marcus Hurdle twelve Peter Marcus.

Speaker 9 (51:46):
Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 23 (51:51):
Look getting fuel into the car. The thing about this
lady was saying, it's not an uncommon thing. I used
to rock the car with going way back. What happens,
of course, when you're putting a fuel and it's nearing
the top, there's a lot of vapor. Fuel vapor wanted
to come back out the exhaust or the we put
the fuel in and the tips of the guess filling hose,

(52:15):
as you know, are pretty sensitive and I'll switch off
pretty quick. So if you if you take your time
and fill it, you'll fill it right to the top.
But with a vapor coming out, if you're filling it
in quick, it won't fill right to the top. And
if you give it a shake or two, you might
get an extra leader or two, and one guy suggested
five leaders, but you will in fact get a couple

(52:35):
of if you wait, it'll all settle down, But there
is vapor trying to come back out, and that's what
kicks the fuel back out. And you know, and sometimes
you stop filling up within a lead or two of
filling a tank up.

Speaker 14 (52:48):
Could you it's quite right?

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Could you be bothered to rock your carf with that?
Many times you get more more guessing?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (52:58):
No, Well there you go.

Speaker 23 (52:59):
But I mean, who likes stopping at a full station
nudge purchase?

Speaker 3 (53:04):
And I'm hearing it, I'm hearing it a little as
really as possible.

Speaker 10 (53:08):
Got it?

Speaker 11 (53:08):
You go?

Speaker 3 (53:10):
And maybe she's maybe she's a terist. She was mindful
that she got to get through the desert road. Or
something like that. You know, I'm hearing her. It's all
good stuff. Rock your car. I think the gas stations
employed some of the rocket for you. I have a
rocking cradle. Brian, Welcome.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
Marcus. A long time. We've had a QUSO had a talk.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Yeah, that's right, but.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
You know who it is, Brian. I'm not doing I'm
not doing that job anymore. Hew pigeons, Oh no, there's
been a trouble. I've got a lot older. Hell, I'm
in the I'm in the late eighties. Oh there it is.
I've given up.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Could you still were you still able to release the
pigeons though?

Speaker 6 (53:57):
Were you?

Speaker 9 (53:58):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (53:58):
Yeah, yeah I could. I got to do it.

Speaker 24 (54:00):
But there was a question was getting away, you know,
spending your your stopping in motels a lot, you know,
four or five days away from Aukland here, down to
say Kai Kura or you know, would end or something
like that and then back up again, you know, back home.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
So you would you would you would take pigeons and
they release them for pigeon races. That was your job,
wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
That's dead right, yep?

Speaker 24 (54:33):
I raised them let them go. Okay, say a Saturday morning.
It was usually around about the zero seven thirty hours
eight o'clock, depending on the old weather. And I notify them,
probably take a video of them as I was doing it,
and say what the weather was like. And they knew

(54:57):
they were coming back where they were geating back to
Phong Ray might have been Potaro or whatever.

Speaker 5 (55:04):
It was, you know what I mean?

Speaker 14 (55:06):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Copy, Okay, what did you want to say something about
the fuel?

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Yeah, okay, this is a different story. I've done this
many times. You go in there and you're going to pay,
you pay a fifty bucks with a petrol and you
get in there. Oh low, you've got there and you've
got forty nine dollars worth of petrol left, you know,
forty nineteen. You shake it so you can get this?

(55:33):
Do you want the bloody.

Speaker 24 (55:36):
The oil companies and all that they get too much.

Speaker 10 (55:38):
Out of us?

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Now, I see. But if he pretty good at estimating
what your capacity is to check fifty in and just
get forty nine ninety and wouldn't you oh yeah, well.

Speaker 9 (55:47):
You know.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
You know this is I do this in the in
my one of our cars here, you know, And you
were so I'll fill the tank up, and they said, oh,
fifty bucks with a petrol when you get there's forty
nine dollars and shoes. Shouldn't give it a shake, because
otherwise that means that the dollars worth a pet gone
back to the or might be a leader gone back

(56:09):
to the oil company.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
When you say you give it a rock, do you
get put your shoulder into it and lean into it?

Speaker 11 (56:16):
Is that what you do?

Speaker 15 (56:17):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (56:17):
I just get to skip the hand on the by
the top of the window where the drop of the
where the tankers give it a shake, and boy, when
it goes down, then you can get that bit more petrone.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Goodness bright, It's nice to hear from you. I appreciate that.
Thank you. Nineteen to ten Marcus till twelve the old
car shake shake it up. Oh wait, oh wait one
wait o, my name is Marcus. Welcome anything else, here
for it, here for it, bells on it. Marcus Reagan
maybe the next Ossie Minister of Culture. Followed on from

(56:53):
Celia's Patterson Marcus. On Sunday, I got two flat ties
at the same time. I'm riding my pushbike. Think I'd
run over glass. I walked the ten K's home today
repairing the flats. I found the front tie valve blue
out and the rear tire had a piece of glass
in it, two different ways to get a flat tire
at the same time. It was the same valve, David.

(57:17):
The weird thing. What happened weird to you today? Anything
weird happen? That's what I'm not about tonight. Dry as
a wooden god, what a thirst for goodness sake, Marcus,
I'm back, not be able to stop singing jingles, which
is annoying. You know what to do about that? What

(57:40):
else the weirdness? It's not about tonight, Get in touch,
Hittell twelve yep, yep. It has Left Handers Day, by
the way, International Left Handers Day. They should have more
than just one day, shouldn't they, Frank ITTs Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (58:00):
Yeah, you're Marcus, Frank This International Left Hands Day?

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Yes?

Speaker 16 (58:07):
Yeah, so is the other three hundred and sixty five
or sixty four days International right Handers Day.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
I guess so.

Speaker 16 (58:16):
I think right hander should have a special day. And
then we've got intradextrous people as well.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
When would you put them?

Speaker 16 (58:24):
They just want their day. I think everyone wants to
have their day.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
I don't want to day.

Speaker 16 (58:31):
Every day is a Sunday. We just want one day,
you know, you right hand as you left Tenda's intradextrous.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
I don't feel I need a day.

Speaker 16 (58:41):
Well, well it's a jingle day for you, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
I do think they make I do think left Tenda's
make too much of a song and dance about being
left handed.

Speaker 16 (58:48):
To be fair, yeah they do. I don't, and I
feel ostracized by them.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
You're right hand to day, I can use both.

Speaker 16 (58:58):
I can work on my ears too.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Really, can you wink both sides?

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (59:05):
Ok, I only wink the left.

Speaker 16 (59:08):
But the left ear the left eye?

Speaker 5 (59:11):
Oh, I was.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
Can you do the left here and you can do that?

Speaker 16 (59:17):
Yeah? I can work with you that either or there
and both both eyes or I can do it at
the same time.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
So the left here and the right ear.

Speaker 16 (59:26):
Yeah, what's my eyes? I can won't at the same
time with both goodness meaning a blink. Yeah, I'm just
talking nonsense, but I just thought, you know, you know,
left teams to day.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
Nice to hear from Frank. Frank didn't really live me
at the opening for the Wild Frontier joke. He's going
to come through that, but he keeps saying in my eyes,
which ricked it in some ways. Okay, the left and
the right. What about the world frontier? My eyes, you
have no one theater sports Frank Marcus. Weirdest thing that

(01:00:04):
is listening to people not knowing to shake car to
get more petrol. And why would you bother shaking a
car for goodness sake? The world's most boring thing. Waiting
for the fuel to go in some of those pumps.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
It's so slow.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
I had to fill up last night after work at
some god forsaken cold gas station. Anyway or price, how
busy it is. It's just opposite the prison. I don't
know what happens there. It's always a bit weird that
I don't if people go and because from the prison

(01:00:42):
you can kind of look at your windows to the sreet.
I don't know if people don't just sphomore or just
you know, have conversations. Don't know what goes on there anyway,
Beauty design prison, I mean old school surprise it's still there. Actually,
I thought probably before long, within the next five week,

(01:01:03):
tens that will go in the cargo or prison. I
don't know what their muster is. It wouldn't be many.
I don't think good for jobs. Are prison and cities
employ a lot of people. Evening Pauling as Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:01:23):
Yes, it's Pauling.

Speaker 20 (01:01:24):
I'm just.

Speaker 25 (01:01:26):
Wanted to tell you about something we had that happened
to us. We got an email today and it was
an invitation to a seventy ninth both day and it
was from a Sonya and Gary and it was all
set out, the date, the venue. It was all set

(01:01:50):
out a proper invitation and we don't know as Sonya
and Gary.

Speaker 18 (01:01:56):
Wow.

Speaker 25 (01:01:57):
Yet we thought that was quite strange because it was
it seats out so well, and they told us where
it was going to be at in christ You and
we thought, well, we've forgotten these people, but no, we
don't know us Sonia and Gary. So we thought we

(01:02:19):
might chew it up anyway because we've got the date
in the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Time, you've got it go.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
Well, you've got to go.

Speaker 25 (01:02:29):
Well, we could just turn up and for the afternoon,
or we wouldn't know anybody, so we preps wouldn't stay long.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
You probably will know people get in touch with that,
Paul and I'm excited about that. I'm there for you
to hear about that. Back in touch. Pretty simple brief
tonight what's the weird thing that happened to you today?
I'm curious and it's been good some of it, because
it's kind of a variety of things that happens to
people in the day, some staggering, some not so staggering.
We're all kind of weird. Well, weirdness is in the

(01:03:00):
eye of the beholder, the weird beholder. So you get
at you, what weird thing happened to you? I don't
quite know the answer to those people that are asked
to a I mean, maybe they forgoten who those people are,
because I presume it was personally addressed to you. Am
I right, Marcus? Sonya and Gary could be setting up

(01:03:22):
that couple to be robbed of, because that's what they're doing.
But if youre going to set up a couple to
be robbed, you'd ask them to a party of people
they knew, wouldn't you. Just a thought, Marcus, Just to
your recent caller with a birth invitation of Sonya and Gary,
we had a Christmas card from Sonya and Bruce as
well as a photo of the new cat. They said

(01:03:43):
they would be visiting us from Hawk's Bay. Well in
christ Church. We didn't know as Sonya and Bruce. We
spent weeks trying to work out who they were. Finally
two of our kids owned up. Louise ats Marcus, good
evening and welcome. Oh hi Mike, good thinking, Louise.

Speaker 19 (01:04:01):
Yeah, here's something where it happened to me today was
on the supermarket. Then the checkout lady said, ah, hi Carol. Wow,
yeah I know, And evidently her voice is similar to mine. Now,
I have quite a deep voice, and I'm normal for
the voice. And this is not the first time. This

(01:04:23):
is about the third time in so many months that
I've been mistaken for Carol. So I actually want to
meet her.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Now, are you look like a sound alike? Are you
both both?

Speaker 22 (01:04:37):
Both?

Speaker 19 (01:04:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:04:38):
Both?

Speaker 19 (01:04:39):
So yeah, I'm wondering why with It's just everybody's got
a Doffel gang evidently.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
But did you know did you know your mother? Oh yeah, yeah,
you got you got a missing You've got a missing twin.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Oh who knows.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
Well, I'm just putting it out there.

Speaker 8 (01:05:03):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
I would have gone straight away. It's not I guess
it's not natural for most mothers to split up twins.
But you never know.

Speaker 19 (01:05:11):
Oh yeah, my mother couldn't have handled twins exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
That's why she got rid of one. That's why she
got rid of Carol.

Speaker 19 (01:05:19):
Quite possible. No, or dad maybe had another child. I
wondered if that wouldn't be identic.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
That would be identical to you, though, would it?

Speaker 19 (01:05:32):
Well, sometimes cousins can look a like or you know,
half siblings.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
Have you done have you done your DNA?

Speaker 8 (01:05:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:05:41):
I have?

Speaker 19 (01:05:42):
Actually yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Yeah, any surprises are your part part and you wit.

Speaker 8 (01:05:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:05:48):
There is a bit of a mystery around my grandfather,
Australian grandfather, very naughty man.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
Yeah and yeah, different at different times though, Louise.

Speaker 19 (01:06:01):
Oh yeah, it was back in the beginning of the
twentieth century. There is some some question mark around his antity. Actually,
so I'm going to do some research on that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
You could have asked the checkout woman how she knows Carol?

Speaker 19 (01:06:19):
Yeah, I no, I wasn't feeling particularly good at the
time that next time, next so okay, I want to
beat Carol.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Well, sooner I'll be into this. Thank you, Roger Isser.
It's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:06:35):
You remember, So okay, it's pretty cool, pretty cool. I
was at a hospital with my daughter as she had
an appointment there and we were sitting there and they
called out my name and I was like, oh, okay,
they got me mixed up with my daughter. So I
went up there, and as I got there, as this

(01:06:55):
other older gentleman turned up as well, and he had
the exact same name as me.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
What Roger Eyser.

Speaker 7 (01:07:04):
Not only that, not only there, he lived one street
over from me as well, and his wife was the same.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Name as my wife, said, the same front name and
the same back name as you Roger.

Speaker 7 (01:07:20):
Yep, yep, and the same and his wife's name was
the same as my wife. And a few years ago
they left with a living moved to North Canbry and
he died. And then it was really weird because I
got some phone calls from people asking if I passed away,

(01:07:43):
why would you ring the number of someone whose.

Speaker 3 (01:07:46):
Passed Hang on? Did the guy at the hospital? Did
the guy at the hospital who moved to North Canterbury
and died?

Speaker 7 (01:07:53):
The guy the older gentleman at the hospital? They they
were living one street over from us.

Speaker 3 (01:08:02):
Was it not today that you met him in the hospital?

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
I think today you're as with your daughter.

Speaker 7 (01:08:15):
Yeah yeah, no, no, no, a few years ago. But
we also got used to getting phone calls because of
course being one street either his phone number was really
the difference.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
It wouldn't be.

Speaker 7 (01:08:27):
Yeah, we'll be able go at Roger blah blah blah.
And I go, yes, well I'm ringing you because of

And last Friday I made burgers that and I cut

Speaker 17 (01:10:20):
On the side like I cut the block in half
and cut.

Speaker 7 (01:10:24):
A piece also, it touch it right over the petty
and I put some onion on it because the patty
was already cooked, so I finished it off from the
ear so that the cheese melted all over the petty
and the onion, and then had the usual feetroot, lettuce,
tomato eggs.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
Mmm, what do you call that? What do you call that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Were where have you been tonight? Where you driving home
from Roger Isser.

Speaker 7 (01:12:12):
Drive? I just did a band rehearsal out in Liston,
So I'm driving back from Leason. I'm just putting Belfast.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):
Now what's the band?

Speaker 7 (01:12:22):
That band is the Alsmere Big Band?

Speaker 14 (01:12:25):
That one?

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:12:28):
I played that on a Tuesday, and then I have
another band on a Monday. And then I've got a
rehearsal at home here in the studio tomorrow night for
Amy Winehouse Cripute Show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Oh that'd be yeah. Who does vocals.

Speaker 7 (01:12:44):
We've got a girl called Selene Graham who is just
absolutely amazing. She just nails it. It's a really good band.
We played it for eddies I think last year or
the year before something, and we got a crowd like
three hundred and fifty people to play, packed, absolutely packed.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
It was awesome, awesome, good bands, extraordinary thing. As she
was to, I liked least a nice place. Least I
got a lot of time for liston.

Speaker 7 (01:13:10):
Yeah, really nice people. So it's just lay that and
I like it because normally I just turn up and play,
so because I run the other bend.

Speaker 13 (01:13:21):
And then you have to do all the music stuff
in there.

Speaker 11 (01:13:24):
But that's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
Nice to talk Roger Riser, thanks for youy much. At
eighteen past ten, Marcus, over two years strangers said you
are a tabernacle. You look familiar. You're two different strangers
said the exact same thing. Over two years. I think
a tambadeckle is some kind of ornament. What do you
mean a tabernacle? Marcus, don't know if it's weird. Today
I brought my lot of ticket into check. Told I'd

(01:13:48):
want a bonus ticket printed jam ticket all screwed up.
Assistant said, sorry, you can't have it. It's missing the
serial number. Long story short. After three staff had discussions,
supervisor wrote the serial number on it. And said good
to go. I said the assistant that originally sued me,
I'd give them ten k it one a million, and

(01:14:09):
manifesting that this ticket is lucky. The weird thing that
happened to you today. I was throng because when I
said that about Roger Eiser, I thought he had met
the guy that was it must be a ghost, that
it must been apparition, and he met this guy that
got at the hospital with his daughter. But yeah, no,

(01:14:30):
that was a while ago. That was like a weird
thing once happened to me. Not a weird thing today,
but right about a weird thing today. I think quite
as weird as Roger's pizza. For those that don't know
Roger Roger, when he goes to get a pizza, he
goes a supermarket packets sable. I think no, might have
been a new world It gets a chicken, smoke chicken

(01:14:50):
cashew and apricot sauce pizza and then goes round the
supermarket and buys apricot sauce cashoes and smoked chicken and
doubles up his pizza like turbos it with his own topping.
Don't knock it, they've tried it. Forgiving to the community
all those bands. You'd be glad that you'd be upset

(01:15:12):
if you live next to the cemetery, wouldn't you have that?
Catches on good quiet neighbors until people start toothing to
their loved ones. It is left hander's day. Once upon
a time in new Market there was a left handers shop,
which would be hard to mention these days without mentioning

(01:15:33):
the Simpsons issue. When Ned Flanders opened a left handed shop,
of course he did pretty on ran for Ned. Some
of the other stuff that's happening, we're about to happen.
Good story today. A woman who is ninety eight, she's
never eaten KFC McDonald's or pizza. Don't know what to

(01:15:57):
make of that? Is she bragging? I don't know. Yeah,
Marcus went to looking to expect how grass taken in
the new lawn. So today for ten minutes, I literally
watched the grass grow. Thanks for that, Marcus. On this
day in nineteen fourteen, sepper Robert Arthur Hisslop was guarding

(01:16:20):
the Parnell railway bridge in Auckland when he accidentally fell.
He died from his injuries six days later, but it
would take a century for his slop to be recognized
as the first using casualty in the Great War Oh
thanks to great text. Chris Marcus, Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 8 (01:16:40):
I'm marcustommeringing from Palmerston, North. I've had to go to
Wellington that in the last couple of months for six
psages on my eye. We had to be done last
week and we're lucky to start stay and a part
of Donald McDonald's house. I've got one area called the

(01:17:04):
Sweet which are for people about it adults. Another part
of it was for people with babies and THEO Nate
and the other half was completely for Ronald McDonald halls.
I would like to give all those people down there
a huge shout out in a huge thank you for

(01:17:24):
what they did for most son and I while we
were there. They were complete what was pre organization. The
way they treat you was absolutely wonderful. You provided with
a kitchen in your yogurt as well as the commune
lord kitchen. Just absolutely amazing.

Speaker 15 (01:17:46):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
So was it for you or you it was operations
on your eye?

Speaker 8 (01:17:50):
Was it that was an operation on my eye? Yep? Yep?

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
And you had your son with you.

Speaker 8 (01:17:56):
I had my son with me. He's an adult.

Speaker 3 (01:17:59):
He was my care Yeah, oh that's great because I
thought it was just for children.

Speaker 8 (01:18:03):
So that's good to know that it used to be.
And we were like guinea pigs for their new area.
Because the people from out of town have to go
and stay down there. You've got to fork out for
a motel asn't as it's been stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
Yeah, I can imagine. And has the operation gone? Has
the operation gone well?

Speaker 16 (01:18:20):
Chris?

Speaker 11 (01:18:22):
Well, I hope.

Speaker 8 (01:18:22):
So I've had resonance attached twice, so I hope. But
I'd have to trace down to willing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
To again appreciate it, Chris. Nice to hear from you.
Thank you, Noel, it's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Good evening, Yeah, good evening, Marcus. Good to year. Just
a little bit about Lydia that you were talking about
last night, Lydia cave. This morning, I got up and
turned the phone on and there was a whole heap
of stuff about Lydia on YouTube. It was brilliant. I

(01:18:54):
spent an hour watching and I couldn't get away from him.
And it told so much about her progress with her
golf and whatnot. People which she's fired, people that she
got rid of, people had tried to stuff her up
a it was counning. If you get a chance to
go on to YouTube. Yeah, there was about four or

(01:19:15):
five segments about her whole history, absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
It must be very difficult to that level because you
don't know who to take advice from, and you don't
know whether you can get coached better. It must be
very hard to navigate a form slump or to keep
yourself at that level because you know there's people wanting
to wanting to use you for their you know, it's
just it just must be a really hard thing to navigate.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Yeah, well, lead Be I think it was lead Be
to one of the coageous head and she had a
big bust up with him because he was trying to,
you know, say, what is what his mother and father
should be doing? Keep your nose out of it, you
know that sort of carry on, and she just turn
around inside him. You're read of it, you know, and
you know, it's just a totally different perspective because it's

(01:20:07):
all the segments that were shown. It was stunning.

Speaker 3 (01:20:11):
Was it actually was a program, Honor, we're just doing
random Google Googleben whole series.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
It was our whole series on YouTube and it started
off with the winning uh to the at the the Olympics,
and then it went from the right to history.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Did the series have a name?

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Not really, it was here. It was four or five
different departments just went through.

Speaker 3 (01:20:42):
Okay, appreciate that. No, I'll look into that.

Speaker 9 (01:20:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
We are talking about the weird stuff that's happened in
your life today. How weird is weird? What weird thing
happened to you today? I've quite enjoyed the stuff. People
find its weird now people are liking the fact that
no one booed any one of the Olympics. Marcus Olympics
was seventy thousand spectators, seventeen successive days and no booing.

(01:21:08):
How refreshing. What is the chance of New Zealand public
duplicating that sporting etiquette Eden Park Saturday night or will
we be back to our boorish best.

Speaker 5 (01:21:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
It's a shame that people are interested in going and
turning up to watch the Permas. They're a very good side.
They've beaten us more on New Zealand than Australia and
South Africa have, so you think most people more people
should go because it's recently been a very close contest.
Just don't think we accept them as a rugby nation.

(01:21:42):
You don't know why that is, Mike, is that Timus
story I texted you was weeding out of the blue
because my cousin Joy hadn't spoken to a brother Jason
since Christmas after she found out that they'd set with
her bestie from the school days after school last year.
Happy Families and no comments hit on Petty Gower's show

(01:22:03):
and Antarctica. You might want to comment that, well, but
your eight tap past there. Anything goes for the fun.
They were just looking forward to your calls. People make
it bright, tightan real, make it lively what he got.
You might be working, You might be doing something interesting.
You might have a good story about something weird to
tell something weird might have happened to you today. Talk
about left handedness. You know the Internet solved everything, hasn't

(01:22:25):
made everything better? Has it done much for left handed people?

Speaker 11 (01:22:29):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:22:29):
I guess it's probably very good left handed websites. We
can buy stuff like a left handed tamwig, your scissors,
and I don't know what left handed people mainly need. Scissors?
Is it can openers?

Speaker 11 (01:22:40):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Scissors can openers? Golf clubs? I don't know. What specific
softballmuts I we left handed? Boy, it's a softballm it's
the probably the one thing that we need to forget,
specially for him. That and scissors. Can't think of the
other stuff. Cope's pretty well with most stuff. Does it

(01:23:03):
go on and on about it, which is a relief
in fact, until tonight I got and he was left handed.
There go figure seems quite happy with it to Marcus,
Welcome evening, Hi timy evening evening.

Speaker 5 (01:23:18):
How they go?

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
But how you going?

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
You're left handed?

Speaker 13 (01:23:22):
Yes? I am, actually I am all my life.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
That normally works that way. I guess I.

Speaker 13 (01:23:31):
Exactly. Barack Obama's left handed.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
That never knew that.

Speaker 13 (01:23:37):
Oh well, I wouldn't be surprised me Napoleon.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
Now who was left handed? There'll be a long list.

Speaker 13 (01:23:49):
But you're right about the myth in terms of softball. Baseball, yep,
I use my I'm actually Amy Dexter, so I came
through with both arms. But golf clubs as well, there
is quite hard to come by sometimes usually what else?
What else? Yeah, just a lot of stuff is just

(01:24:11):
really tailored towards people that obviously use their own hand.

Speaker 3 (01:24:16):
What do you struggle with anything.

Speaker 13 (01:24:19):
I don't really struggle with much. The only thing that
you know, makes us stand out is I feel like
left handed people are probably a little bit more intelligent.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Probably right, there's some there's some sports you guys are
hopeless for that no one wants you.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (01:24:39):
There's some sports that that you can't that you know.

Speaker 13 (01:24:41):
God, I'd say tennis is pretty hardy. I mean, especially
if you're saving the ball and you're left handed and
you're saying it was your right. Sometimes it can be
a plus as well. You could put off your position.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
But but all in all, I think I think I
think it might be I think it might be polo,
horse polo or something like that. There's one who there's
one I remember reading about.

Speaker 13 (01:25:09):
I've never played the sport, but probably all and all though,
I think it's a plus for us because people are like, oh,
you're right with the other hand. You look interesting. I
want to talk to you.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
And of course handwriting some important eggs even no one
uses it, No, no, no, no.

Speaker 13 (01:25:24):
It's going to be the thing of the person twenty
is lush left hand?

Speaker 5 (01:25:29):
Did no?

Speaker 13 (01:25:30):
I mean pins? Pins and papers?

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
Oh yeah, it's gone, it's gone already. Yeah, polo. Left
hand is not allowed. So good thinging, good thing, not
too polo. So I'm nice to hear from you. Thank you, Lynette.
It's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:25:44):
Welcome, good evening, Good evening, Marcus. I've been lying in
bed listening to the lift tendedness kind of talk, and
I've been like listening to you sort of asking for
people to ring. And I decided to have an early
night tonight and went to bed and now I'm up again.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
So I think for they well, because I know it's
like when you ever really like you like to get
to bed at least, that's not a good thing that
you're lying. They're not able to sleep, so thoughts to you.
But yeah, anyway, right.

Speaker 20 (01:26:10):
Okay, First of all, I'm left hand in this day
tomorrow is calligraphy today, well day, and I have I'm
a calligrapher, very amateur, but I have always had an
interest in writing full stop. Having been a teacher, taught
numerous children how to do handwriting and writing generally, and

(01:26:35):
it really saddens me that children aren't taught to manually
write these days, and I haven't done for well over
a decade, two decades.

Speaker 19 (01:26:46):
Really can that be right?

Speaker 11 (01:26:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (01:26:49):
But they're not actually physically taught how to make the letters.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:26:56):
One interesting thing I was I left teaching, oh twenty
years ago, and as a new intake king to my class,
and this was ten year old and was walking around
the classroom as they were doing their writing, and I
was fascinated by this boy how he made his letters, Like,
for instance, he made the letter oh A by drawing

(01:27:19):
a letter O and putting a little stick in the
top right hand corner and then another little stick in
the bottom left hand corner. He made it in three
separate parts. And he made all his letters other letters
S and s is from the bottom up that And
I he said to him, who taught him back then?

(01:27:41):
He says that I've just always done it that way.
Isn't that weird, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
But yeah, probably it kind of the more you do it,
you find more effective ways of doing things. Wouldn't you
wouldn't sort of naturally lun a quicker way.

Speaker 5 (01:27:57):
You'd think so, wouldn't you.

Speaker 20 (01:27:59):
So that made me sort of notice what the kids
were doing, And so I taught them actually how to
do copper play the entire class yep, yep, good on you.

Speaker 22 (01:28:11):
And they all learned it.

Speaker 20 (01:28:12):
But one one young boy who was particularly good at
collectiphy and did beautiful cop better than mine beautiful. And
when he went to college, and I saw him sort
of sometime later and ask him, you know how he
was going at college, and then he says, oh, I
remember you teaching me the handwriting. He says, I don't
do it anymore though, because the teachers at college can't

(01:28:33):
read it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
Yeah, okay, it is beautiful copper plate.

Speaker 22 (01:28:37):
Isn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:28:38):
Yes, But you know, you would think that that teachers
would be able to read joined up writing shortly.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
And I have a different I have a very different
experience of handwriting from you. I always had terrible handwriting
and was always and was always punished for it, terribly criticized, punished, told, repeat,
and at the expense of everything else I did. I
was real good at school, that my handwriting wasn't god
and it was all the teachers would focus on. And

(01:29:07):
it's never affected me for one second. Subsequently, I could
read it. It was readable, It just wasn't tidy. But
I got hamed for it until secondary school, and then
teachers gave up on they realized, okay, they could read it.
That was fine, but yeah, boy, oh boy, did I
get always been told to apizza. I've always been given
detentions for handwriting, and I just it just wasn't something

(01:29:29):
I was good at.

Speaker 20 (01:29:31):
Well, I was exactly the same at school. My handwriting
was terrible. And it wasn't until I went to teacher
Training College and I failed blackboard presentation, which.

Speaker 10 (01:29:40):
Was an end back there.

Speaker 20 (01:29:42):
I failed it twice and someone suggested to me that
maybe I should get a book out of the library
on calligraphy and learned something about it. Well, I'd never
even heard of calligraphy sort of back then. So I
went to the library and I found a book, but
I didn't have the proper pens and equipment. But I
was determined that I was going to come to grips
with this writing. So I bought a book that's a

(01:30:05):
speedball and it's it's kind of a telegraph Bible. So
I actually learned how to hand draw and color in
every single letter style in that I passed backboard presentation
with flying colors.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
And tell me, do you write letters to people?

Speaker 9 (01:30:23):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:30:24):
Let's do this? Yes, yes, yet I do.

Speaker 20 (01:30:28):
In fact, Tomorrow's our Calligraphy Club is setus of challenge
to do something with calligraphy and perhaps you know, do
handwritten letters to send to people.

Speaker 11 (01:30:38):
I am.

Speaker 20 (01:30:39):
I'm a member of the Happy Mail Club, of course
you are, yep, yeah, yeah, So happy mail is kind
of we just stuff interesting things into envelopes and you
send them to Mostly these days, I send them to
people I've met on Facebook who do arcy crafty things
like me, and so I put little things I've made

(01:30:59):
into it and address the envelope nicely and send it
off all over the world and get lovely stuff back.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
Too, and beautifully happy mail, is it?

Speaker 20 (01:31:08):
Yeah, Yeah, it's just it's just sort of render mail
with nice little bits inside, you know, postcards like I
got one about about a week ago, and it's had
a little hand embroidered bookmark, and it has had a
an altered playing card, a jumper paying card that had

(01:31:30):
been sort of stamped.

Speaker 19 (01:31:33):
And written again.

Speaker 22 (01:31:36):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 20 (01:31:37):
Would you like some happy mail?

Speaker 10 (01:31:39):
Love it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
Po Box forty three, bluff Lynnette. Not too much, most
of them Male I get is from prisoners, but thank you.
In Anette twenty six past eleven, Marcus my left handed,
some plays golf, lift hand and BET's a cricket right handed.
My two right handed son's bat left handed. Go figure,
Marcus on my lefty ring binders. We're a nightmare at school.

(01:32:01):
Thankfully for today kids, laptops have taken their place as
sports where it's best ever writing lefty is swing ball?
Quite right? Swingball's great if you've got a lefty in
righty for five minutes, Marcus, I've been teaching a friend
to play drums for the past few months. Couldn't a stand.
Why keep getting mixed up with which hand was supposed

(01:32:23):
to play? What literally realized today is actually left handed.
After you started to write down some notes on the lessons,
never crossed my mind somewhat. I wanted to discover this
on International Left Handed Day. Paul Mark Cartney is a
left If you look at the videos of the Beatles,
pul holds the guitar the opposite way you expout to

(01:32:43):
get my boys guitar restrung. That's right, I remember that
now quite am straightforward. Endeavor by the way, carry its Marcus.
Good evening and welcome, hey.

Speaker 14 (01:32:55):
Me, Marcus. He laugh of Ti Hippie's zero degrees.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
Wow, you're worried about it. You're worried about you worried
about ice.

Speaker 14 (01:33:05):
Ah, yeah, we're pretty familiar with it that way. Like,
it doesn't normally set until early hours of the morning,
so cleaning the traffic on the road tends to break
it up. But hey, this question for the trucking community.
Tuesday night is Tuesday night, so for the trucking So
somebody out there in one of our trucking community might

(01:33:25):
be able to answer that question before twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
Why why is it? What hang on? Garrie?

Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
Why is it what.

Speaker 14 (01:33:32):
I've noticed on Tuesday nights? Would the track say they're
pretty quiet doing the main track lines one?

Speaker 2 (01:33:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 14 (01:33:42):
It just seems it's always Tuesday night.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
You know, you'd be on there. It might be the
way the shifts worked that it's a quiet day because
weekends are quite busy, are they on?

Speaker 11 (01:33:54):
Yes?

Speaker 14 (01:33:56):
And Saturday is a few out, but anything Wednesday right
through the Friday pretty busy. Ay, it's just that Monday night.
It's just that Tuesday's doing. When are you guys out there?
Also give me a wink and.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
A a in a flesh yep, God, we will do
anything with you today.

Speaker 16 (01:34:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:34:17):
Yeah, well, hey, when I when I sleep during the day,
the family are normally pretty good. I get the normal
kinnag you in and things carrying on out there. But
I moved the moved our bed around right, and the
headbuarders against the kitten the kitchen wall anyway, I was
having a having a good problem, not too far from

(01:34:37):
waking up anyway. The whole wall woman vibrating.

Speaker 21 (01:34:41):
And what's going on?

Speaker 16 (01:34:43):
What the heck?

Speaker 14 (01:34:43):
There was a boom and someone on the on the wizzard,
you know, the it's not not the handheld one, the
jolly thing that puts on the on the on the
shelf there anyway, and then it stopped after about them
not oh Jesus, is all right, And then two seconds
lay off they were again anyway, and I'm not sure
if we went to the third time. Anyway, I got

(01:35:05):
up and when out there, and it was so weird.
So it's like it was like just all normal, like
we wake up for you know, it was like just
a normal thing to do. Put the wizard on. We've
got me here to the to the to the to
the kitchen hall. Thanks all right, So I.

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
A few work shifts carry No one ever understands that
they've always kids jumping off beds, and look, the only
thing that I've found in the use is white noise,
which works quite well on your phone. That just does it.
It kind of muffles some of it. But boy, the
people have no idea how much noise they make.

Speaker 14 (01:35:42):
Yeah, well, fortunate for me, I metually did from one ear.
So yeah, I just put me good heir to the
to the pillar and off we go, you know. But yeah,
there's a limit that way.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
Yeah, I guess they'll know not to use the old
wiz again. Thanks Carrie. Nice to hear. We haven't started
talking much about Trump yet, which is refreshing. It's been
the worst three weeks of his campaign. Of course, he
still could win, just needs to hold Georgia. There is

(01:36:16):
still a very clear path to victory for Trump, but
he's getting old seventy eight and he's just so miserable.
It was the last time he actually thought Trump enjoyed himself,
like never just living your life through perceived hurts anyway.

(01:36:44):
But the real story of they continues to be Raygan.
There are our petitions for her to payback her funding
because it appears, according to the petition, that there were
people that should have gone to the Olympics for break dancing,
but because she made herself the president of the Federation,
She in some ways might have overlooked more worthy people

(01:37:04):
from going yeah, and they're calling it like, oh, they're
calling it all sorts of things. They're calling it like
a minstrel show, so kind of a cultural appropriation, which
always gets pretty tricky pretty quickly. Anyhow, Eddie, Marcus, welcome

(01:37:33):
and good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:37:34):
Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:37:36):
How are you you've read that? Thank you? He left handed?

Speaker 5 (01:37:39):
This?

Speaker 3 (01:37:39):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:37:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:37:42):
Why they call us probably devil spawners that the right
handed people in the old days were so thick and
so slow at thinking. I didn't know which hand their
weapons from.

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 9 (01:37:58):
That will cause some trouble?

Speaker 10 (01:38:00):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
Are you left handed?

Speaker 9 (01:38:03):
Yeah? Yeah, I'm pretty happen predict this takes me. I
can use my right hand quite well. I'm one of
those ones and also got spacked on the hand for
writing left handed until I had wrote. I write a
little bit with my right hand, but because I'm slow

(01:38:24):
in my brain, I don't spell, so I don't write
much sot all.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
No, okay, oh yeah, well I would have helped been
beaten right through your childhood.

Speaker 9 (01:38:37):
Yes, a lot of people with a lot of people
are very famous for a left handed da Vinci?

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
Was he left handed?

Speaker 9 (01:38:48):
Who?

Speaker 3 (01:38:49):
Leonardo da Vinci? I don't know, Okay, Prince william is.

Speaker 9 (01:38:56):
Yeah, it was quite surprising who, and it's quite surprising
who who can't either spell or do mathematics too. I
think Einstein was very bad at spelling that effect goodness, Yeah,
I believe so. I heard that somewhere, whether it's through
or not. You know what people are like. They make

(01:39:16):
up stories.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
But to hear from you any sounding wealth. My mother
in the late eighties and years intendant, she told me
the teacher would hit her with a rule. Who's caught
running with left hand? Maybe the governor will bring that
back in. Do you think wouldn't surprise me.
