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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Welcome. Good evening, It's Marcus send of the week for me,
it's Friday. It's also school holidays. I hope things are
okay where you are, and I hope in the next
three hours fifty three minutes things get a lot more
exciting or whatever. So yeah, headill twelve o'clock tonight. The
number is eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine

(00:36):
to nine two detect. I look forward to your calls. Yeah,
And if this news that happens the next hour is
then I'm sure there will be too. We've got that
situation with the hurrican and Florida and all sorts of
other stuff going around happening too too. Million people without
power in the southeast of the United States of America.
There is a catastrophic storm surge and life threatening winds

(00:58):
are expected. Other news, Donald Trump has released a watch,
a wristwatch. It litill cost one hundred ninety nine thousand
dollars honor. It has fight five Fight. It's part of
what he's doing now. It's watches. He's tried to sell
everything else anyway. Welcome here to midnight. I'm expecting great things,
so I'll keep you update with the league tonight. The
Rugby League will be on from ten. It's kind of

(01:19):
like the semi semi final, is it? It's the semi final.
I think it's a semi final, so I'll keep you
updated with that also tonight. That starts about ten. Who
likes ten o'clock? I love ten o'clock. It's the Melbourne
Storm versus the Sydney City Roosters. I'll keep you updated.

(01:44):
Daylight savings this weekend time fortunate. It's a short weekend.
It's an hour shorter. I don't like that, but they
reckon that's a good time. You're supposed to. What you're
supposed to do is to adjust your is to check
your batteries on your smoke alarm. As long as I've
been doing this show, I've gone on and on about
smoke alarms. I've got much much better hands up. If
you agree the old days at they last about a

(02:05):
year and they were terrible. Then you new ones are
ten year ones, and he just buy them with a
better in them and put them in the same receptacle
they were last time. Take the old one out, put
the new one in. I wondered what to do with
the old smoke alarm, and then I just put it
in the wheelie bin. I thought they were radioactive. But

(02:26):
you must have smoke alarms, and you must test the batteries. Well,
actually you must test there are batteries, because what will
happen to will someone will borrow the house or do
something like that, you know, and they'll try and cook
Vogel's bread and the smoke alarm will go off. From
what they'll do is I will remove the battery. It's
a bad thing to do because imagine if you did

(02:48):
that then someone else came into the house and it
burnt down there wasn't a battery. How bad would you feel.
I'd feel really bad. Of course, no one intends to
remove the batteries permanently, but there's just one of them.
That's human nature. Yeah, get in touched. My name's Marcus. Welcome.
Ed'll twelve ozha eight one hundred eighty. We're gonna do it.
We're gonna do a bit of everything tonight. Oh, by

(03:09):
the way, here's a question for you. I don't normally
start with the questions that I'm starting with a question,
and how smart are you? This is not a trick question,
but it's a question. Which day of the year are

(03:29):
most people born on in New Zealand? What is New
Zealand's most common birthday? You know what I would have said.
Hold that thought. I'll tell you. But what do you
think is New Zealand's most common birthday? And think about

(03:51):
it and give me a call if you thought about
it and think you know, because I'd be curious to
know what you think it is. I have got an answer.
It has been researched. What do you think is New
Zealand's most common birthday? This is fascinating because it might

(04:12):
affect one of you people. So what is New Zealand's
most common birthday? Funnily enough, I can tell you what
the least common birthday is, which is weird. But I
won't good have another guessing game. There's going to be

(04:34):
a guessing game Friday. I'll wait one hundred and eighty
tenny nine two nine to text, just so you know.
The weather hasn't got any better where I am shocking. Huh,
texts too if you want to text? Yeah, there you go,
oh eight hundred nine to nine to text. Yes, that's right.

(05:02):
What have we got Hamish, Yes, New Zealand's most common birthday.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Oh well, I have to say the fourth of July
because that's my birthday.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Fantastic, and a lot of birthdays are in July too.
Why do you think that is? Why do you think
the fourth of July is the most common?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Well, for one, it's America's Independence.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
Day, that's right.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
And but would you think people do you think people
be planning to conceive so the babies would be born
on American Independence Day? Do you think they are doing that?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Well, planning to conceive, Well, that would be very hard
to sort of work out when you're going to have
the baby.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
But do you think that's what people are doing? Why
they are so because or do you think there's something
about celebrating America Independence Day that would make you give birth?

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Well, well, I had two friends, they were twins and
they had their birthday on the fourth of Yeah, they
had their birthday on the fourth of July.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Maybe it's because you have got your birthday on the
fourth of July. You meet a lot of people that
have their days on the birthday on the fourth of July.
Because you noticed that, therefore, you think it's a very
common day would that be? Is that the logic?

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yes, you should say that.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, okay, how many people do you know? Apart from
the Twins?

Speaker 4 (06:37):
I know they celebrate it horrendously in America.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, got a bit of topic creep here. So you
think the day that most people would have their birthday
on would be the fourth of July.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
I'd have to say, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Okay, it's an interesting thought. And that's probably because it's
d your birthday.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Because yeah, my birth I celebrated my forty fourth birthday
on last July the fourth.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Oh god, and what about your forty fifth birthday the
this July?

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Yeah, coming up.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Appreciate the Hamish. Thank you, Peter, Marcus, MICUs, Peter, Peter,
good evening, Welcome hig Marcus.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Oh yes, Marcus. I've worked it out here, and I
think it would be the eighth of September.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Now.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
The reason I say that is that, yes, we have
our Christmas holidays. Everyone's relaxed around Christmas time. Things happen.
Work it out, and the child or twined wherever it is,
are born in September.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
What day have you worked it out? As pardon, what
day in September have you worked it out?

Speaker 6 (07:54):
As are the eighth.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh good, okay, and how did you come up with
that for a clever day.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
I should have actually put a fortnight ahead because my
theory is I see Christmas tribe every run to relect.
But of course that's the twenty four to twenty fifth
of December, so I should have really made about twentyth

(08:23):
or something of September.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay. I appreciate that. What is the day today, by
the way, is a Black Friday. It's the last Friday
in September. Niki, it's Marcus, welcome, good evening, heim Nike.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Hih, Marcus, I Marcus, it's got to be today.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Because I think every day, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
Because every day you tell us what day.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
It is, because this one thing I think, Marcus, he's predictable.
Is it your birthday? Is it your birthday?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
No?

Speaker 7 (08:57):
But it's my best friend's birthday tomorrow, you said.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Because I came to work with this email here and
it said it said the because I know heaps of
people who they on the twenty third of September, and
I was sure it was going to be that.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
Yeah, And it's not. It's the twenty seventh. It's today,
isn't it?

Speaker 3 (09:16):
It is I think it's is it your birthday? Know
it's your best friend. What's her name?

Speaker 8 (09:23):
Helen?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Helen Earth, Happy birthday Helen.

Speaker 7 (09:26):
You've met Helen? She was down at the ice the
same time as you.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh, well, of course I know Helen. I see Helen. Wow. Yeah,
I wasn't down there for her birthday though, was.

Speaker 7 (09:37):

Speaker 7 (09:41):
I don't know what time you guys go down there
day or she used to go down.

Speaker 9 (09:45):

Yeah, yeah, no, my birthday is not all not till
next month but spring baby. But yeah, I didn't work
it out. I just thought Marcus is talking about today.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
That's Marcus's predictable thinking. I'm liking that and love to Helen.
How are this that I love that song? Anyone know
that song? Happy Birthday Helen. It's a Melbourne band you've
never heard of, and they go ended up becoming It's
a great song and I'm sure we've had produced it before.

(10:25):
Dan called Helen and I'd always sing to her Happy.
I don't know if I did sing to her Happy Birthday, Helen.
I seem to actually bring it up with her. It's
a great song. Things of Stone and Wood is the
name of the band. I think it was a one
hit wonder it's got a three eighties ring about it.

(10:49):
Let's not forget last night, how we drove along the era,
how we sang harmonies to Carol, Carol King. It goes
on and on a bit like that good evening Billet's Marcus, welcome, Hey.

Yeah, Well, well my problem is I don't hate the guy.

Speaker 10 (11:16):
I love the guy.

Speaker 11 (11:17):
My problem is, Marcus is there the room and leave

debate about the corrupt media.

Speaker 10 (11:31):
And you're doing Marcus, Well.

Speaker 3 (11:33):

pointed behind the Marcus.

You sound like a parody. You sound like a parody
of every person that's down the rabbit hole. You sound agitated,
you sound upset, You sound like you've taken leave of
your senses. But you will just say it's the I
can say what I like, because you'll just say it's
the corrupt media.

conversations you should be having at all, because you sound
too heated by it. I just mentioned he's put out

Speaker 10 (13:13):
Is, Marcus, you're not going to have a debate with
reasoned documents.

me a balanced argument. I'll be out all the stuff

Speaker 3 (14:30):
I'm trying to ask you a question.

Speaker 10 (14:32):
Bill.

Speaker 3 (14:32):

Anyway, that's the question you should ask him. Twenty one
past eight democrackerscrecors, He's god flp picky battles. This is
not even New Zealand's battle. Let's here from the Midwives, Marcus.

(15:47):
Bill wouldn't know the truth of it, came up and
slept on the face. But I'm sure Trump cares about
it and wants to make his life better. Here's the
parody of the all the Trump clan. Terry Marcus welcome,
Hi Terry.

Speaker 13 (16:01):
Yeah, okay, Marcus, I've got an unusual situation. I was
born on Wednesday, the fifth of July nineteen thirty nine.
My wife late wife was born on the twenty ninth
of September forty three. My daughter was born on the
thirty first of July nineteen sixty three. My son was

(16:26):
born on the first of September nineteen sixty five. And
every one of those days is Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Amazing, I've never heard that.

Speaker 13 (16:39):
Its stunned me. It was many years ago when my
daughter decided to do some research and worked out that, hey,
we're all born on Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Because I don't think most people would know when they
were born what day. I don't know because I wouldn't know.
But then again, you can go on the internet, now,
can't you.

Speaker 13 (17:00):
Yeah, well there was what started. It was a sort
of a birth a calendar for each year, and you
stick your data person there and it came back what
day it was.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Because that's amazing, because I like the way you told
that call. Because the way you're doing I think, well,
this guy's mad, because there's no connection between those birthdays.
They all seems miles apart, but they're all they're all
a Wednesday. Are you waiting? Are you waiting for a
next generation? That's because as everyone been born on a
Wednesday or just most I.

Speaker 13 (17:41):
Never thought of that. Yeah, I should track that through
and so you have my great then daughter. Yeah, that's
my next task.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
It's a very good to see anyone else has gone.
I don't know if you call that family all born
on the same day.

Speaker 11 (17:56):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, what's good as you can google the day you
were born. Age day has a Wikipedia page which has
got the number one song of the day. Also, and
what happened on that day because on this day, my day,
July the third, trigger Roy Rogers's horse died and it

(18:23):
was preserved and it's now in a museum. There you go.
I thought that was interesting. Oh wait, it was a
week I was born on a Saturday. Never knew that,
never knew it until today. I'm excited about that. More excited.

(18:45):
You could imagine a lot of texts Marcus. I know
five birthday people with birthdays tomorrow, the midwives, mid to

(19:07):
late September, the Christmas rush. There you go, the Christmas rush.
Someone says nine months after Valentine's Day is the day
most people. Well that's not quite true. I don't think

(19:29):
get in touch. One names of Marcus hid on midnight.
I hope it's good where you are enjoyed your all
this half hour. I didn't enjoy Bill too much, too shouty,
too much like a parody. Well, and why is you
listen to the rad if he's into the corrupt media?
Someone says true or false pokeing machines A casinos open

(19:51):
twenty four to seven are affected during daylight savings during
the changing our suit machines will pay out. Really sounds
like an internet rumor to me get in touch, Marcus
till twelve, Bob good evening.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
My story is that I was born at nineteen fifty eight,
and I was the last baby in New Zellen born
in nineteen fifty eight. They were going they weren't quite
sure whether to call it the first or the last
baby that.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
So, so I can't imagine what's going to happen. There
is your Mum'm gonna want you to have as a
new What was the what was the wish for a
New Year's Eve baby or New Year's I suppose most
people want a New Year's Day baby, would they?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Well, it didn't make much of it because dad was
drunk anyway, So I think you wish you wasn't having
it at all. But there you go, There you go.
I came along anyway, There you go, you go.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
Carry on.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
I've been waiting for daylight saving by the way, I'm
all ready to go for another big trip. I'm still
traveling around.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Oh were you traveling around? And you can't and you're
won wagon.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah, I ended up in Blenham. I wanted over in
Blenham because I needed to get to work down on
the van serviced and all the rest of it.

Speaker 14 (21:09):
You know.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
I was going to go away on the eighth of October,
but then I realized that's in the middle of the
school holidays and they don't want some old prick dopching
around on the road causing havoc. I'm going to wait
till the wait till the fifteenth, and then I'll I'll
go down. Start off in Khakora because I've got a
cray fish pot and I want to put out. And
then I'll go down and have a couple of days
recreation at Hamna, go over the coast for Senanga Hua

(21:33):

called Patti Tour where you know, because I've got the
trains up there. That's where my that's where my daughter lives.
So I'll be spending Christmas over there. I'll be up

Speaker 3 (21:58):
I came around there, good, good, good, Hey, did you
make your crayfish? Crayfish? Part?

Speaker 12 (22:07):
No?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
I bought one of those collapsible ones. Okay, yeah, I'm
only going to set it by hand, like I wait
out when it's low tide. So that that was fish,
et cetera, et cetera, And then I wait overnight and
I hope something crawls in it, and then I'll pull
it back in the morning.

Speaker 3 (22:23):

like you have a great time.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah, no, no, I'm quite happy to be retired. I
thought i'd get bored too quickly, but there's always something

No, no, I didn't know it at all.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
You must have you must have wondered.

Speaker 15 (24:53):
No, not really. I think I did know that I
was born on the first of March and I was
twenty minutes away from being born. If I was twenty
minutes earlier, would have born born on the twenty nine
of fairbrif means I'll be on a leaky birty four years.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
No goodness, are you full of woe?

Speaker 10 (25:11):
No?

Speaker 15 (25:11):
No, But I've got a friendomone who's born in the twenty
ninth that you always we always have something to say.
His immature and he goes well, typically I maybe twelve,
but yeah, he was born in night.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
The reason, the reason I'm asking you why you're full
of woe is that what the Monday's child is fear
of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child
is full of woe.

Speaker 15 (25:34):
Oh, I'm too busy to be full of woe.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I never know when you're reading. Asked, do you know
what woe is?

Speaker 15 (25:40):
Is it like being said and upset about something?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, you might be right. I don't never qute you
what the definition of woe is? Yeah, Moreland said great
sorrow or distress.

Speaker 15 (25:49):
Oh, I used to watch cartoons or a kid in
one of the cartoon garages always used to say, woe
is to me. So it's like that interesting show kry
and listening.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
But good on your Great Braise, Wednesday's Child will continue
listening sad Days Child the Wolf oh one hundred eighty
ten eighty nine nine to text. Saturday's Child works for

(26:21):
its living, and a child that's born on the Sabbath
day is fair and wise and good and gay.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I don't quite know what that song's about. I think
it's just for I think it's when someone tells you
what day they're born on, they gives you something sort
of a name to say, keep it going a day
as you're born. Anyway, if you want to know what
day you're born, I can research it for your people.

(27:00):
I know that might be of interest to some of you.
I'm a Saturday's child. But what's interesting, this is something
I'd like to talk about. As families and the entire
family are born on the same day of the week.
What's that about? What is the Ginnest Book of records
for that most members of family brought on same day
of the week, when there will be some although people

(27:26):
make things up with records like they pretend, and I
guess it's different with cesareans to a because that's why
not many people are born on Christmas Day. Of course,
it's possibly one of seven. So if it's four children,

(27:48):
it's one, and it's seven times seven times seven times
seven one over that one and forty nine times seven,
fifty three fifty three four three times seven three four
three times seven yeah, two four h one, So every
kind of two and a half thousand families. Oh, you know,

(28:09):
they wouldn't have four kids. What day of the week
are you born?

Speaker 16 (28:11):
Jan Yes?

Speaker 17 (28:16):
What day of the week? I think it?

Speaker 18 (28:18):
Tuesday?

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Tuesday? Wow, you should have asked, I guess? So guess what? Say?
Guess what day of the week I was born on? Marcus,
say it? So say it?

Speaker 18 (28:32):
What day of the week was I born? You have
a guess?

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Tuesday?

Speaker 18 (28:37):
Ah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I thought you just told me anyway, And what did
you want to say?

Speaker 18 (28:45):
Did you say you were born on the third of July?

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yes, I don't want to tell me anything creepy though.
I don't want you to do a tear. I don't
I feel that's quite personal information. Is it the same
day you're born?

Speaker 18 (28:58):
No, I'm thirteenth of October?

Speaker 3 (29:01):
No, yeah, really not far away, not quite only three
months apart.

Speaker 17 (29:09):
Yeah, yeah, well, and of course are you akand Syrian currently?

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (29:16):
Yeah, which is the crab.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
That's right.

Speaker 17 (29:18):
Apparently they run sideways.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, that's right. And you and you'll leave at the scales.

Speaker 18 (29:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Judgmental, that's right, Agreeable and honest. I believe in important
social connections. Yes, fascinating and intelligent.

Speaker 7 (29:38):
A lot to give, oh, yes always?

Speaker 17 (29:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (29:43):
Guess who else was born on my birthday? Different year?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Men or woman?

Speaker 17 (29:51):
Two women?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
The top ones?

Speaker 17 (29:56):
No, two women, Margaretacea and also Lily Landry.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yes, I watched the TV, but there not, they're not.
I thought, well, you said born the same day, the two.
I thought you meant twins. But they're not twins, are they?

Speaker 9 (30:12):
No?

Speaker 18 (30:13):
But Lily Langtry was born one hundred years before me?

Speaker 3 (30:20):
What words would you use to describe her? Lilli Langry
was your socialite? Is that where the polite word for
her would be?

Speaker 18 (30:28):
Well, she was the lover of Beerty, Queen Victoria's first son,
who was going to be king, and so they had
a secret love affair and she had a boy baby
to him, but it all had to be kept secret.

(30:48):
But she was she set the fashion for the society
in those days. Who was a great leader of fashion.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
She was born?

Speaker 17 (31:01):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Thanks Jan very Marcus, welcome, Hello Marcus, Hey, Barry receiving.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
And came on just.

Speaker 16 (31:15):
Hell look right now, I heard you mention about members
of a family and entire family born on the same
born on the same day of the week, and maybe
some of them just make it up.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
But look.

Speaker 16 (31:32):
I can give you now, uh what's with our family?
At five? Mine was the was the first birthday in
the year, which is in March. And so because they
were all after after like after February, you know, after February.
Of course, those days never changed, so that all four

(31:57):
on the same day. So fress if if if my
birthday fell on a Monday, all our birthdays that year
would be on a Monday.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
See, I see what you're saying. Wow.

Speaker 16 (32:08):
Now, now if you like, you can, Jina, I'll give
you the the the birth dates and you can verify it.
So one was the first March sixth okay, yep. Next

(32:30):
was my father May nine, yep. Next was my mother July.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Three, yep, my birthday.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (32:41):
Okay.

Speaker 16 (32:43):
That's a popular birthday.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
And a lot of people born around there.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (32:51):
Next was my youngest brother August seventh. Then my elder
brother was born Christmas Day, Okay, and and of course
that never changed. I'm actually on the on the last
one there, I'm sixty nine, but they're all gone on
the last one left. But that was our claim to fame.

(33:15):
And yeah, get out your find spot on so Berry.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
That means you were all born on the same day
of the week. Do you know what the other week
that was?

Speaker 19 (33:27):
That?

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I don't know, but I always you always there was
six of you, and you always all had your birthdays
on the same day.

Speaker 10 (33:35):
That.

Speaker 16 (33:35):
Yeah, and that never changed because where it wasn't affected
by leave day.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah, it's amazing because.

Speaker 16 (33:44):
They were all born from March onwards.

Speaker 6 (33:47):
You see.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I wonder when I wonder when they first realized that.
I suppose they realized that fair early on.

Speaker 16 (33:55):
I think Mom figer out. But you know, the funny
funny thing is I've always wanted to tell someone that,
but but I don't think people are really care. That's gracious,
but talking about any probably thinks I'm I'm having No.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
That's right, because and and Dan's gone through as you've
spoken and put all those things in the calendar. What
day is it this year, Dan, I don't know. I
was it was on a Monday. But they all are
exactly on the same day. That's that's amazing, the chances
of that, the chance it's Wednesday this year, your birthday?

Speaker 5 (34:34):
Right, Oh well, actually I'll believe you.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Christmas A. Well, that's that's extraordinary, Barry.
I don't think there's any any other any other radio
shows you could have rung that would have found that
interesting and would have brought that up as a topic.

Speaker 16 (34:51):
Well, I just dropped my my younger boy and his
family off at the airport and I'm driving back and
I always listen to z B. I mean, I delivered
the Herald in the morning saying that sort of thing,
and I.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Listened to by day he's talking.

Speaker 16 (35:04):
About people born on the same day and that that
would probably be.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
No one.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's going to run for the news. But that's brilliant, Barry.
Thank you so much. Back at me days, Marcus. I'm
a furneck resid who is currently getting orange water from
the hastings of the council. This voting crap is pissing
me off. They need to spend money on fixing our waters,
not wasting money on feel good stuff. Well you had
your chance, but you're all opposed three waters. Remember we're
going to be fixed. Oh no, you're' happy with that?

(35:39):
They rates it through the roof Neville. Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (35:49):

Speaker 9 (39:38):

Speaker 9 (40:11):
No, anyway, thank you?

Speaker 3 (40:15):
No, that's good, brilliant, Okay, Nancy Fencing Nty, there we go,
ten past nine. You're democrata, Marcus. My dad's birthday one, two, three,
four ninety is still going strong. The first, the second
nineteen thirty four. I share my birthday with Barack Obama,
David Longi, the Queen Mother, and Megan Markel. I also

(40:40):
share the birthday with my brother fifteen years apart. He's
the oldest of five. I am the youngest. Wow, what Marcus,

(41:02):
My family is the same as Barry. Every year. Four
out of five us have the same birthday day. Every year.
It gets more complicated though we actually are not We're
not all born on the same another week. It's certa
to the amount of days apart you were born and
also has to take out of leap day. Marcus, the
guy to Today guy approached me and asked me if
I knew where he could purchase a two pay I

(41:24):
replied to him, not off the top of my head.
So I love your show, don't if we get it
every day we get a two pay joke evening Joan, Oh.

Speaker 20 (41:37):
Hello, Marcus, you do have some interesting top topics, don't
you different.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
We've got a box that we get them all out of.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yep.

Speaker 20 (41:45):
I know a man will He since passed away with
el Simon. He had two or He's an older man
and very nice man. He had two daughters, only two daughters,
and both daughters were born on exactly the same birth
date two years apart.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Cheapest creepers like like we have a day we did
the Irish twins, But that's the different expressions and that's racist.

Speaker 20 (42:06):
But yeah, same birthdate.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (42:08):
Yeah, so that probably wouldn't happen too often. Yeah, so
very interesting. But I would have thought more people would
be born in September, mid to late September. What was holidays,
New Year's Eve, That's what my thought would be September, I.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Think, Joan, while I've got you there, here's what the
article says, right, it's just verifying the link. Yeah, the
ten most common days all appear in the thirteenth day,
from twenty second September to fourth of October. That's when

(42:49):
most people are born. The thirty most common days all
appear from the fourteenth September to the nineth of October.

Speaker 20 (42:56):
Yep, I would have thought that. I thought that earlier on.
My mother was born and died in the same month.
She was born on the first of September, died on
the twenty eighth of September.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Would you like to die of the day you were born?

Speaker 20 (43:08):
I went to a funeral today of a lovely friend. No,
I don't know, but she was in the same month.

Speaker 21 (43:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 20 (43:13):
I'm the second of February. I always remember when do
you think they think more.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Or less people would die on their birthday or less?

Speaker 20 (43:22):
I don't know, not many.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
I think more people die on the birthday because they're
hanging on for it in the excitement. Oh no, I
think that's true, because I like they'll, oh, they'll party
or have drinks or something.

Speaker 20 (43:35):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 20 (43:36):
Sometomes unfortunate, an accident or cancer or something like that,
or don't know.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
It's called the birthday for a short time. It's called
the birthday effect. So there's a six point seven percent
greater chance that you'll die on your birthday, oh right, or.

Speaker 20 (43:50):
The twentieth of February.

Speaker 15 (43:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I don't want you not to cele about your birthday
because think you had to die in it, Joan. But
that's that's true. You are specicially more likely to die
on your birthday. Yep, that's fact. Men and will likely

(44:18):
done to the run up of their birthday. The most
common theories that birthdays lead to celebrations, which can lead
to increased alcohol consumption. We can get on the pipe,
which can lead to increased deaths by a number of means. Yep,

(44:38):
it makes your tombstone look snappier, doesn't it. Born such
and touch day, and died such and touch day, but
different years. Head on midnight. My name is Marcus, fifteen
past nine, Liz, welcome.

Speaker 8 (44:56):
I'm sure here and I've just said my birthday, so
I'm lucky today now last week.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Do you know anyone that's died on their birthday?

Speaker 8 (45:06):
No? Yeah, I don't think. I want to think.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
About would you like to die on your birthday?

Speaker 8 (45:13):
Well, I'm still here, so I didn't die.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
No, but would you like to when?

Speaker 8 (45:18):
I'm not textually worried about when I die because I'm
hoping I won't know when. No, But I have to
say something funny. My brother was born nine was born now.
Mum always said it every year nine nine forty five,
so she always laughed at that. She was just thought
that was a great joke. Five nine to water five.

(45:39):
And then the funniest part was, I think you might
remember I mccudn't. I haven't got her alive. But Mom
was at the wedding on the Saturday, and because she
was a singer, Mum teen so she was singing gets
her Wedding and Bigcott Valley and then she had to
go to the hospital. Six weeks earlier, she had our

(46:00):
She had my sister and I. I was at two
o'clock and my could was at twenty past.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (46:07):
I thought that was quite funny. That's why we were
born on a Sunday six weeks earlier.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Whose wedding was it?

Speaker 8 (46:13):
It was her cousin's wedding.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
And she what was she singing?

Speaker 8 (46:18):
Pannas and Jealicis and all of that. Aby Marias was
the singer that was dead.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Very self centered. To go into labor on your cousin's wedding,
it makes it all about her, doesn't.

Speaker 8 (46:29):
It was not particularly pleasant, was it? She had probably
sold the show.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, that's I'm thinking that would be talking about the wedding.
It's like getting engaged at someone else's wedding.

Speaker 8 (46:40):
Well, I think what happened is going to the wedding
to read too much?

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Yeah, what was what's the first what's the first song called?

Speaker 8 (46:48):
Oh do you want to sing? Panas Angelicis and ave
Maria all give me give.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Me a line for Parnas Angelicas.

Speaker 8 (46:56):
Oh got to think it's enough Jo, one of those
old ones doesn't like wedding. Dad saying Mum, and Dad saying.
Dad was an opera singer and he was accepted for
the Australian Opera Country and.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
The war came out, the ball came out there.

Speaker 8 (47:19):
Yeah, and both of them didn't fulfill it. They were
Mum was under system, Mary Leo and someone else and
Dad and you were talking the other day about that
blind fellow.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
It was just.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Low no no, the jazz singer from the jazz teacher
from your plymouth Klaus No.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
No.

Speaker 8 (47:41):
Dad usually tied up with the wall because he used
to be an awkward going to all these seeing a
beautiful voice.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Did he perform? Did he perform?

Speaker 8 (47:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yes, where he performed?

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Did you just stick to opera and he break out
and do more populast he.

Speaker 8 (47:59):
Got now he got accepted for the Australian Opera Company.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
The will break out.

Speaker 8 (48:05):
Yeah, so that there's nothing going on. He just performed
around Alfred and all that sort of griddle.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
What sort of stuff was he doing?

Speaker 8 (48:14):
It was doing all the opera stuff.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Didn't do more modern stuff.

Speaker 8 (48:20):
No, he used to think of old man River and.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
A great song there is that old but I love
old Man.

Speaker 8 (48:29):
Anything, the florals and on the Road to Mandalie, and
so the whole lot of him and mum, the whole
of My aunt was a quite well known musician as well,
So that's where all the music comes from.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Who was your aunt?

Speaker 8 (48:47):
She was folding, but she wasn't Minofoli.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
I read there was Monopolio written art Is she had
a tragic kind of a life, didn't she.

Speaker 8 (48:56):
Yeah, she was friends with my mum and aunt. Yeah,
they used to go they are the sister very Leo
as a whole year. It was a very tragic life, is.
I knew all about it because she was and Carrington
for a while and been our aunt was in the
music scene, so I knew the whole works were very

(49:17):
sad because what happened, really happened was she went away personally,
and she from what I gathered from my aunt, she
shouldn't have gone there the way that she was accepted,
do you know what I mean? She may have had
neither the chaperone or something. Anyway, I thought you'd laugh
at all that. I thought you quite.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
When's your book coming out?

Speaker 8 (49:41):
I've got a book something I don't know it's not interested.
I want take something really good that you'll really enjoy
because you've got that intellect. There's only one time in
your life where you actually double your birthday to what

(50:02):
your mother is. So if you're born a few two
thirty five, she'll be seventy two, so you're double it.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Now.

Speaker 8 (50:11):
I knew you'd find that interesting.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
There's only one time in your life for you. Were
you half your mother's age yep.

Speaker 8 (50:18):
Or double your brothers or she's double your age. Whatever
you want to say, do you think okay?

Speaker 3 (50:26):
I leave that with people. Thank you, liss. Did your
mother manage to sing the songs?

Speaker 20 (50:30):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yeah? Should sing ansu w into labor?

Speaker 18 (50:34):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (50:36):
For these days, these days, these days it will be
on video, wouldn't it. Oh God, brilliant, Judy, it is Marcus.

to adding the two name numbers up. But that's quite
good a ned.

Yeah, I've always taken it for reffels and everything, and
it's never gone me any luck.

Yep.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
And when I was born in Hasting's Hospital in Hawks Bay,
the Force Square presented by mum with the heat so
gifts like baby presents and et cetera, et cetera, and

(54:13):
also a newspaper that I still have to this very
day because Mum has kept it in their belongings and
it's yeah, I've still got it in my position.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Oh that's quite special.

Speaker 6 (54:33):
Yeah. Well, I've seen the advertisements on TV like nineteen
twenty four. I'm not sure when they first opened, but.

Speaker 5 (54:44):
However, hang I think anyway.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Joan, I think they just had the one hundredth anniversary.
So would it be nineteen twenty four? Yeah, would have
been nineteen twenty four because it's just been one hundred years.
Oh wow, Yeah, I know our local shop and Bluffers
are four square. They didn't do that much celebrations for it,
but I saw some sort of stuff around. Oh hang

(55:07):
about it must be the one hundredth anniversary. So yeah,
I didn't notice that.

Speaker 6 (55:11):
Oh well interesting.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Have you served Hawaii before?

Speaker 6 (55:17):
Yeah? I served pipeline really well. I serve Maui on
the big waves. Yeah, I made a lot of a
lot of locals.

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Was it big?

Speaker 10 (55:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (55:29):
How big were the waves? Was it going off?

Speaker 6 (55:32):
Yeah? It was thirty two feet cheap is okay?

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (55:37):
So Claney, Rob, Mike Merelliers and Johnny bad Boy Games. Yeah,
they were all just pumping and I was dropping in
on jet.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Skis, so I was going to ask you that. So
you had to use a jet sky to get in?

Speaker 6 (55:57):
All due respect and forgive my language, but I was
a little bit small on all area because it was
too big for me.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, but big, too big by far.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
Yeah. I had to wait for a couple of days
until I calm down, until it got the twelve feet.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
How with twelve feet, how long you underwater for?

Speaker 6 (56:28):
Well, once I got over the falls and I hit
the lip of which is the top of the wave,
I was under. It probably round about Uh, I don't
know the longest SORT have been under would have run

(56:48):
about Yes, it would have been around about eight maybe nine.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
Yeah, that's a long time. Yeah, that's terrifying you. I
didn't thank you. I did google people that died on
their birthday, and there weren't that many of them. Shakespeare,
but that could have been misreporting. But there is a
list of people that died on the day they were born,
and most of them I didn't recognize. Oh Merle Haggard

(57:23):
died on his seventy ninth birthday, but no FDR died
on his birthday. That's about it. Ingrid Bergmann died on
her birthday. Mel Street Country singer died on his birthday

(57:44):
self inflicted gunft wounds. Well, I guess that's a bit different.
I don't want to go down that road. But you
know what, I'm saying, no one turns up to your party.
It's a machine gun Kelly Gangster, heart attack prison, fifty

(58:06):
ninth birthday, and Shakespeare thought to be his fifty second birthday.
And the artist the painter Raphael not the turtle. There
you go, all very interesting, But today is the day.

(58:30):

born in New Zealand, today is the day that most

watching it, but last week was about the started about
twenty past two. I think it was a good watch.
The Italians one one and the Brits won one. Chris,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:01:29):
Yeah, hi, Marcus. I was born on the twenty third
and novem at nineteen fifty sure, and my sister was
a one year older than me. She was born on
the same day in nineteen forty nine.

Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (01:01:44):
Wow, and our cousin was five years younger than us
since she was born on the same day as well.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (01:01:53):
Yeah, but it's not that.

Speaker 12 (01:01:56):
In nineteen sixty three, when I was thirteen, I was
born in Auckland and all the uncles and auntie's around.
It was quite a big day for the three of us,
seven a party.

Speaker 15 (01:02:07):
And it was.

Speaker 12 (01:02:09):
Supposed to be a good day. But that was a
day that JFK got assessed later.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
That was your thirteenth birthday. And the party and all
of you were together.

Speaker 12 (01:02:19):
Yeah, and well it was a twenty second in America.
But yeah, all of mother's mom's mom and aunties are
all crying and wow it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
And also it's.

Speaker 6 (01:02:33):
Not only that her.

Speaker 12 (01:02:35):
My sister's son was born on the same day as well,
but that was what way, you know, he's forty now
or something.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
So there's four people, you and your sister, your cousin
and who was the other one, my nephew. Is it
still are they still all around? Is it still a
big day? Do you still get together?

Speaker 12 (01:02:54):
Well, we're scattered all over the place now there was
he around the country and that and yeah, yeah, but
in those days, is you know, like in Auckland, back
then it was a street and everything. Everybody knew each other.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
And yeah, huge down your family, Chris, happy birthday too
for your coming up. So a bit nice to hear
from you. Then we just get this, no racing tonight,
no Louis Verton back overnight tomorrow night. Marcus. You said
that earlier that muff and Break gives you a free
muffin on your birthday. I'd add this and a free
break on any other day. What does that mean, I reckon.

(01:03:40):
I've always thought muffins were disappointing, you know, for a
while ago over all these muffin shops, on them all
it was a muff and break and then I thought
they always seemed to be a But the coffee's fine.
The muffin's just a lot of something that doesn't taste
that good. Anyway, that's just opinion. You might beg to different.

(01:04:00):
Good on you. I embraced Europe by the way Melbourne
have scored six or four Kick to come and looking
forward to your calls tonight. People. Some of the other
stuff that's going around I can tell you about people,
mainly it's on the birthdays anyway. Know what's going on
with Timido and the freezing works there. I'm curious to know.

(01:04:24):
Is this just the continuation of New Zealand declining sheep population?
And what are those jobs like at Smithfield? Are they
seasonal jobs or year round jobs? I suppose it's a
bit of both. Also, it's five years since the school

(01:04:44):
ban of cell phones. You might be or five months. Sorry,
you might be a teacher or someone involved in that,
and let me know how that's going for you. I'm
not hearing much about that, but you might have some opinion.
And also Formula one. There's big news about the we

(01:05:06):
guy that's going to be driving. I don't know much
about Liam Lawson, but I know that's been a big
story for a long long time that people have been
waiting for this. Hmm h twenty two. Liam Lawson. I
don't fully know his bead. Is he come from karting.

(01:05:26):
I kind of feel I've researched him before. He's from karting.
There was a privateer born in Hastings, raised and pook
a car. He so there you go. There be a

(01:05:53):
big deal, eh, Formula one that's up that makes that
up that worked out for him. I don't know too
much about it. I think his boss is that woman
that that guy that was married to the spice girl,
which well he seems problematic to me. Well he seems problematic,
seems like a pest. Steve Marcus, welcome, Hey you Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:06:13):

was all born on a Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Well, they're all born on different days, right, But any
year if all of them have their birthday on the
same day of the week.

Speaker 26 (01:06:37):
Oh, that's not that amazing, considering there's only seven days
in a week. I mean, you've got one and seven
odd chance in there, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Well, for one, and then the next one is one
and seven times seven, which is one in forty nine,
And the next of for three it's one and seven
times seven times seven, and then for six it's one
and seven times seven times seven times seven times seven.

Well, how good is this, marcus, I've got a stat
for you. Let me just work out all born on
the twenty fourth of every single of the month, on
every single.

that date, but eighteen of us are.

Speaker 27 (01:07:31):
All on the twenty fourth, scheepers, that's pretty full on.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
Is this from your family, like your grandkids and stuff
like that, like three generations?

Speaker 26 (01:07:45):
Well, so it's me, my two brothers, my two sisters,
my mum, my dad who they didn't obviously know that
they were both born on that day when they met
and their uncles and aunties.

Speaker 5 (01:07:59):
Eighteen of us.

Speaker 10 (01:08:01):
Wow?

Speaker 26 (01:08:03):
Yeah, do you know what's even crazier as the rosters
are going to cream?

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
I don't think they will. You don't Minie Peppenhouse and
that key we guy Hughes. They're just too good.

Speaker 26 (01:08:18):
Hey, Marcus, can we put one hundred dollar bit on
right now? Have you got enough game to put that
on national radio? I'd like to hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
I'd like to agree. I hope the roosters do one.

Speaker 26 (01:08:29):
Are you cleaning one hundred dollar a bit?

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
But you and I both agree that we both supported
the same team.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
Hey, Steve, what how many of the people? What? What's
the day that? What the day they were born on?
What day of the month is it that your family
is twenty four? So how many if there's eighteen and
born on the twenty fourth, how many are not born

Speaker 26 (01:09:13):
What about I reckon about sex all right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):

Speaker 24 (01:13:44):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (01:13:45):
Oh good Carol? What are you want about?

Speaker 24 (01:13:49):
I am so much in favor of this no cell
phones in school? Sure, I am personally. I'm saving so
much money on not.

Speaker 14 (01:14:01):
Spending so much on data, okay.

Speaker 24 (01:14:03):
Because the cell phone is not being used nearly as
much as it was before.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
How much?

Speaker 9 (01:14:08):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
How old your child?

Speaker 24 (01:14:11):
A teenager?

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
How much?

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
How much were you spending on data for your child?

Speaker 24 (01:14:19):
I was topping up every month? Yeah, we had lots
of serious conversations about cut this back. This is untenable,
and now it's just not a problem at all anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
So how much was it a month?

Speaker 12 (01:14:35):
Uh?

Speaker 24 (01:14:37):
I should be honest, I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
Okay, it's good to.

Speaker 24 (01:14:41):
Just remember having lots of conversations about stop using so
much data, So.

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
Most of her cell phone use was at school.

Speaker 24 (01:14:50):
Well out of the home, I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Yeah, of course you got data, you understand, understand you.

Speaker 24 (01:14:58):
Most of the time away from home would have been
at school.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Okay. I mean my children are eight and ten and
they haven't got so and they haven't even talked about
having them, I don't think, and I think they'd be
a while away before they had them, so it's not
something I've even comprehended. I hope they won't have them.

Speaker 24 (01:15:18):
Off until Yeah, we held off until high school and
then it was more for me to know where they were.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
But yeah, because the children use that as an excuse
to try and persuade you to get one.

Speaker 24 (01:15:35):
Oh, that's the reason I was given to get a
cell phone in the first place. That one of the
first arguments was well, how old were you when you
got your first? Fine, Yeah, that wasn't a good attempt.

Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
No, because I was. I was about thirty when I
got mine, because they weren't around, so.

Speaker 24 (01:15:57):
Yeah, exactly, No, it was for my benefit to have
them contactable. But yeah, very much. Finding that the cell
phone use. Aside from the financial savings for me, I
think it's also probably good not to have that distraction
going on at.

Speaker 10 (01:16:16):
School, Carol.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
Has there be any comments, sorry for talking of you.
Has there be any comments from the school saying that
behavior has improved or anything like that?

Speaker 8 (01:16:28):
Nothing of it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:31):
But you imagine if they're just using the phone so much,
are they allowed to take them to school and they
leave them somewhere? What's the actual policy?

Speaker 24 (01:16:40):
It's the school that there is that they can the
cell phones can go to school, but they have to
stay in the locker or out of.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Five Yeah, okay, I appreciate you coming through, Carol. Thanks
for that, Donnor, it's Marcus. Good evening.

did you want to say about birthdays?

Speaker 18 (01:17:21):
I had my first.

Speaker 24 (01:17:24):
Child on my birthday and it's been the most wonderful
thing ever.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
Wow, what a lovely thing to have because that's your
special day. And what a birthday present for you.

Speaker 10 (01:17:35):
It was. It was a sh tty but it was
a wonderful presence.

Speaker 8 (01:17:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
And what it was that the due day or was
unexpected on your birthday?

Speaker 24 (01:17:45):
Unexpected he was due.

Speaker 10 (01:17:46):
I was born the second March. He was due on
Valentine's Day.

Speaker 24 (01:17:50):
Actually he just took his time.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
Wow. Okay, So it's always a big day for your birthday, Donna,
thank you so very much for that. Enjoy the rest
of your trip. Birthday coincidences, but many people born on
the same day of the week as all their other
siblings and whatever. Or I'm born on the same day.
I like a lot. Sixteen six Melbourne across, very easy try.
They scored, of course Dominic Smith always week with the
track with the tackle papenheis and just broke broke through

(01:18:14):
and ran ford. But anyway, bad kick from the sideline.
So sixteen six Melbourne storm over Sydney City Roosters. Eight
left to go on the first RF Marcus. Why are
gambling machines called the Pokey's. I don't know why they're called.
I think in the original I think the original time

(01:18:35):
it was called on the reels would be like it
would be like a hand of poker. There'd be a
deck of cards and if you've got five aases or
a strait, that's what it was like poker, and it
got shortened to Pokey's Probably the Aussies did that, and
now I don't think there's many cards on most of them,
but they still are called Pokeys Nicketts, Marcus, Good evening

(01:18:56):
and welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:18:58):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
It got you good neck? Thanks for asking sound and
coming through really clearly. Nice to hear.

Speaker 29 (01:19:03):
So there's an equation tells you how many people. I
forget the name of it, and I am driving, so
I have and look it up. That tells you how
many people you need in a room to have a
seventy five percent chance of two of them sharing a birthday. Yeah,
and it's not as many as you would speak right on,

(01:19:24):
like twenty one or twenty two people in a room,
they have a seventy five percent chance two of them
will have the same birthday.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
Yes, we had a math teacher at school once it said,
I bet there's two people in this class that have
the same birthday, And sure enough he was right, Because
initially I think you need a lot of people wouldn't you.

Speaker 29 (01:19:40):
Oh absolutely, but no, you can look it up and
a go through it and all that. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm from memory. I think it's only like twenty one
or twenty two people.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
It's I think it's twenty three for fifty percent.

Speaker 29 (01:19:53):
Oh okay, if I overstated it's no, that's pretty well right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
And and for seventy five people it's ninety nine point
nine percent.

Speaker 29 (01:20:02):
Say that again.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
Sorry for seventy five people, Yeah, there's a ninety nine
point nine chance that there will be two people that's
your a birthday.

Speaker 29 (01:20:13):
Yeah, yeah, I always think that's quite interesting. That little it's.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Really interesting because it goes against what your intuition would say.

Speaker 29 (01:20:21):
Oh absolutely, yeah. A lot of people say, are you
leave you need one hundred and twenty or yes.

Speaker 3 (01:20:27):
I think it's the way that was framed by our teacher.
Thanks Nick, Karen Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:20:31):
Welcome, he Marcus.

Speaker 23 (01:20:35):
I was just going to I was just going to
read about my daughter's birthday. Yes, she was born on
the sixteenth of January, so the sixteenth of the first,
nineteen ninety two, so she's actually thirty two at the moment,
and we didn't actually notice, but I've kept a like

(01:20:55):
a Momento box that I call and it's just got
everything in itself. I've still got these first teacups, you know,
their planket books, and i'd actually kept the little card
that they put in the little bet and that when
you're in the hospital with them, and she, I think
was the one that actually noticed it because it had
on at what time she was born, and so she

(01:21:18):
loves telling people that she was born at one sixteen
am on the sixteenth of the first.

Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
Wow, so the time she was born as the Dayton
reverse exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:21:31):
Yeah, yeah, wow.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:21:33):
We'd never even because you know, we never really bought
about it. But I've always kept the spots and every
now and again we go through, like, yeah, lots of
womow and me two stuff in it, and yeah, she
spotted it, and she loves telling people about that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
But it's pretty easy to forget birth times of birth,
isn't it, because there's so much going on. No one
ever bothers to write it down, and you lose that
bit of paper, and then you lose the clip on
them biblical cord, then you've lost everything pretty much.

Speaker 23 (01:21:57):
I've still got these clips from the Biblical cords as well.

Speaker 6 (01:22:02):
Yea god.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
And then you keep their flocks of here and they
got gorgeous blonde here, it all goes darker.

Speaker 23 (01:22:11):
Yeah, for sure. Anyway, I keep like wedding invitations that
have gone to yeah, tickets, you know, from shows that
I've been to. Yeah, I kind of keep it everything.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
Not a hoarder, are you, Karen?

Speaker 23 (01:22:26):
No, not a hoarder. Like they all fit in this box.
The box is actually quite funny. It's a different box now.
But when I had my first child at twenty, my
husband he made this you know, like those old tea boxes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:43):
That you used to get I think, so yeah, like yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:22:45):
Yeah, well he I'd make him get up in the
middle of the night, you know, when the baby needs
eating and stuff like that. And he made this box
and he called it at the Coxs Memento box, which
was my surname men and it had our names on
and everything, and that's where everything special went. He's long
gone and the box is long gone on, but.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
I've still got is he did or separated?

Speaker 14 (01:23:10):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:23:10):
Not did, No, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:23:12):
Yeah, it sounds he sounds like he sounded like quite
the quite the catch, but obviously not.

Speaker 23 (01:23:16):
But anyway, but he was very good when they were
a little Yeah yeah, the marito ye.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
And everything's in it, the strands of here, the whole bit.

Speaker 23 (01:23:29):
Yeah, for sure. Are both my pregnancy tis.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
Oh yeah, is it is it? Is it in the video?

Speaker 22 (01:23:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:23:40):
Yep, yep, yep, neighhoode keep one of those.

Speaker 6 (01:23:46):
No, I've got both of those, the scans.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Or the scans and the printouts. The scans re the
just videos.

Speaker 23 (01:23:52):
These days thirty four years ago, and I got a
video of the scan and he takes over it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
Oh that's pair, isn't it.

Speaker 23 (01:24:05):
Isn't it can't mean what he taped over with. But
he was not popular because I think I went to
you know, back in the day when you had videotapes
and you could take things, and yeah, he taped over it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Like a VHS.

Speaker 23 (01:24:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're talking to you four years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
I wonder what it was he taped over it with.

Speaker 23 (01:24:24):
Oh god, I can't remember. It wasn't really sports persons.
I don't think it was sports. Yeah, one.

Speaker 3 (01:24:34):
You remember, give us a text. Thanks for that, Karen,
Steve Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:24:39):
Yes on the seven chap program on TV one. And
it was just a little section there where they did
the walking backwards thing, which improves people's health.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
For goodness, I've.

Speaker 21 (01:24:53):
Been an advocate for it for over fifty years. I've
had several remarkable discoveries from early signs of parkinson.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
From walking backwards.

Speaker 21 (01:25:04):
Walking backwards, balance, improving, lower back pain, going away hips
and knees, good, shoulder pain. All goes away walking backwards
for how long? Oh well, it's all up to where
where you're whether you're comfortab where you're comfortable.

Speaker 4 (01:25:26):
So.

Speaker 21 (01:25:28):
You know, there's just to start with. It only goes
sort of between two power poles. A distance between two
power poles. You walk back and then you walk forward
to the next one, and then back to the next one,
just as where you're comfortable. And I've got to run
a head on lady here, she's supposed to be bringing

(01:25:49):
you because she sleeps all right. Now. I got her
completely relaxing and she's getting eight to ten hours sleep,
which she never had for years. Her balance is improved.
There's early signs of Pakiston's. Get a shake in a hand.
It's gone away using a different part of the brain.

Speaker 6 (01:26:12):
When you walk backwards, how do you.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
Stop heading into things?

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
Oh?

Speaker 21 (01:26:17):
You walk with someone you don't do it on you
or you or keep a handrail of a fence or
something beside you, yeah, or you walk with someone. They'll say,
We've I've been doing this for over fifty years and
when I was in the Saint John in Norkland, we

(01:26:41):
were experimenting with these ones with the early signs of
Pakison's at Greenlaand Hospital. We're going down the wards walking
backwards made a remarkable recovery and we're seeing home who
came out no signs of Pakinson. They sort of made
a bit of a joke of it, but in reality

(01:27:03):
it's quite it's quite quite serious.

Speaker 3 (01:27:06):
Who invented the concept of it? Steve, I have.

Speaker 21 (01:27:09):
No idea now. The doctor, the doctor we were involved
with was a sports medicine doctor who's doctor day and
he was a practitioner at green Lane and he was
experimenting then and he was getting.

Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
He was getting.

Speaker 21 (01:27:31):
Sort of results. We will say, I've been I've been
an advocate for for over fifty years and I've had
several people where they said, you know, lower back pain
goes away, hips and knees come right, the balance improves.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
I've never seen anyone walking backwards.

Speaker 21 (01:27:53):
Oh, I've got a group here of five that regularly
regularly do it, and.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
You lead you walk forward and all with.

Speaker 21 (01:28:01):
A miss and very confidence on a flat level surface.
When you want to challenge that, I've done the shell
bank around Kaiour.

Speaker 4 (01:28:14):
There's a walk.

Speaker 21 (01:28:16):
I did over half of it beckwards, just about six k,
and you deffinitely know. The next day my legs were
a little bit sore, but not too bad.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
Were you guided around the Kiawa sand bank?

Speaker 21 (01:28:31):
No, it's quite simple to do. It's it's quite a
wide easy trick to do. There was twelve kilometers or
six six one way and six back and I had
no difficulty at all.

Speaker 3 (01:28:46):
It must take a long time.

Speaker 21 (01:28:49):
Oh yeah, I was where I was two and a
half hours to do the twelve k goodness, yeah, way
you know. I mean they made a bit of fun
of it. I can assure you it works.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
Nice to hear, Steve. Thank you find that interesting. Here's
the thing about you feel quite self conscious walking backwards,
wouldn't you? I mean, would you scream something at someone if
you saw them walking backwards? I don't know what to
do about that. Parry sums is an ancient Chinese technique. Well,
I've never seen it in China walking backwards. The weird
thing is people have they've been doing that for years

(01:29:29):
with then it I was that before? Have they are
there no traffic lights and teams for Steve to negotiate.
Do you have an update with expected floods in the
other springs area too? No, I'm not doing other springs.
Marcus saw a Chinese couple doing it in Chrostchitch the
other day. Stopped to talk and she was a doctor
and she sus the get your husband do it to
hell as lower back problems. See people on some of

(01:29:52):
the beach often walking backwards. Don't talk about some about
some of the beach With Marlow the dog, we had
that runnin Marc's our flute for eight in a row
so far all October the first, hoping for another one
this year. Cheers from the hell out West, Marcus. The

(01:30:16):
Chinese have been walking daily one hundred steps a day
for centuries. It's good for posture, balance and well been.
My physio put me onto it years ago for this.
I do it in the hallway you're at the physio gym.
Another way of doing this has to walk forward going
a heel to toe and backwards toe to heel. News

(01:30:37):
to me. Never heard of walking good on seven sharpa
going begond that never heard of it, apart from the
Spike Milligan song I'm Walking Backwards for Christmas over the
Irish Sea, one of the great songs of course. Richard Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:31:01):
Hi Marcus. Years ago, when I was in nineteen seventies,
I was younger man that I am.

Speaker 21 (01:31:07):
Now.

Speaker 14 (01:31:08):
I was a runner, but I was running sort of
ten miles and cross country and stuff, and somebody said,
come and run the Gray Mouse and Marathon. I thought, well,
I've never run before, but I'll just try and gats
it out. So I got to about eighteen miles pretty okay, and.

Speaker 5 (01:31:26):
Then everything just started.

Speaker 14 (01:31:28):
To seize up. So when I got back to the
I was talking to this whole guy and he said,
you're not prepared to sort of go for long training runs.
And I said, hell, no, you know boring. So I said, well,
I'll tell you what you can do. He says, run
your normal training run and then at the end of it,

(01:31:50):
run about a mile backwards and we'll give it a crack.
So I did that for you know, like as I
was building up to the next year's marathon, and I
ran it, and I was fine. And what he said was,
if you're not conditioned to run that for the distance,
you have muscles that you normally use sort of peck

(01:32:13):
it in, but by running backwards, you're actually training different muscles.
And he said, the body's got an amazing ability to
you know, when one lot of muscles isn't working anymore,
he just looks around for something else. So that was
long before the sort of you know, other benefits of
running backwards were walking backwards were developed, but it's always

(01:32:33):
stuck in my mind. I was really quite all that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
And you went back as the Greatmouth Marathon?

Speaker 10 (01:32:42):
Was it?

Speaker 6 (01:32:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
Greatmouth?

Speaker 3 (01:32:45):
And I never knew there was such a thing. That's
something a good run? Did you? Did you do a
good time?

Speaker 14 (01:32:51):
About just over three hours?

Speaker 3 (01:32:53):
Not bad. That's quite good for a first one, and
that's great.

Speaker 14 (01:32:58):
Well the first one wasn't that good?

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
No, but you're sick the first one you finished? Didn't
finish the first one? Did you continue to run backwards?

Speaker 14 (01:33:08):
Well, I mean I'm still quite active, and I you know,
I thought maybe I should give it another go for
the for the reasons that they tell you now, you know,
because yeah, I think it's it's it's good to sort
of you know I do. I mean exercises that you
don't do all, you know, just in your normal daily life.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Have you just thought that tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:33:35):
And I thought for a while, because it's been about
for a while, you know, I've made for about the
last year. You know, you keep hearing about the benefits
of walking backwards.

Speaker 3 (01:33:48):
I've never never heard it. So have you started going
backwards again yet?

Speaker 14 (01:33:54):
No? No, you know I'm a liebre that takes me
a while to get arounded things.

Speaker 3 (01:33:59):
Where will you do it?

Speaker 14 (01:34:01):
Oh? Just just on a field, you know, sports field time.
I've got a school next to me. I can run
walk around that ring.

Speaker 3 (01:34:09):
The police, won't They across at the school acting strangely.
It's it's not going to be good, is it? Men
seen acting suspiciously? What we were saying to be running backwards?

Speaker 9 (01:34:22):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
No, fair enough, we'll lock them up. I almost think
there'd be an app they could develop your phone so
it could make sure you don't run into anything. I
don't know why that's a thing, but there'd be something
I would do. Let us know how it goes. Okay, Well, yeah,
there's probably a record time for a Beckward Marathon. Do
you know what that is? Some idiot will have done today?

(01:34:49):
I know there was a record, how for the person
that the quickest to drive across America? Beck Would you
think that would be dangerous?

Speaker 15 (01:34:55):
Wouldn't you be hard on your neck?

Speaker 3 (01:35:02):
You're sounding good, firm rich form, Richard Dave Marcus, Hello, Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
By walking backwards, you can see where you've been exactly now, Marcus,
I've been swimming every day for a number of years,
and I swim today at Killy two, and now what
I do is walk in one point three meters of
water one link forward and then one.

Speaker 6 (01:35:26):
Lenth going backwards.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
And that's setting the lane generally to yourself or have
an understanding with the other swimming where you have half
that lane. But any rugby league player knows what it
is to job backwards, because of course you never turned
you back on the opposition. Now, I've been jogging backwards
for years or walking backwards, and I swear by it.

(01:35:51):
I weighed myself from the gym walking out of QI
two today and I one hundred and eighty four kilograms yead.
But that is good for me, and I am losing
weight and diabetes. But what I mean to say is
that I carry that weight quite well, even though I
am losing it. But I do swear by walking backwards.

(01:36:14):
Do quite often at Centennial Park where it's good open
spaces and it's even be afooted is good.

Speaker 5 (01:36:22):
I swear by it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:24):
You're not about to walk into something you're not worried about.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
That well, if I do, it's more an issue for
them than it is for me. Understand because when I
fall well, I may fall hard, but he is generally
worse off for them. And a big open paddock where
it's generally finally cropped or well cap there's no issues.

(01:36:48):
It's clear of sticks and stones and a good open
field or an open paddic you can do so with confidence.
And I'm not sure about the health benefits except to
say that it's done me no harm.

Speaker 3 (01:37:02):
Are you're looking forward to those new bars opening in christ.

Speaker 6 (01:37:07):
The bars Marcus? Did they say bars?

Speaker 3 (01:37:09):
You swimming conflict at tightening? Is that right?

Speaker 20 (01:37:12):
Indeed?

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
Yeah, but not till twenty twenty six, so I'm not
holding the breath. And that's more not far from the
hospital year. You're quite right outside, looking very complete the inside.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
It protects a lot to do things these days, doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:37:28):
You're not wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
And the other issue is, Marcus, I hear that the
main pool will be fine until look at water in
it because it was built over the top of the
old Cannoby Draft brewery and there's a large equifer, the
water equifer, so they have it because we only have
an issue I think with foundations, sinking, et cetera. But anyhow,

(01:37:50):
time time will tell.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
If you do a geological report, wouldn't they Christ, you
should be all over it, wouldn't they have to?

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
Well, you would think so, Marcus. But reports of Edbecker
says I said, the main pool's fine. It looks good,
but they haven't got water in it yet. So maybe,
like a cork, I might just pop out of the
ground over time. I don't know. But anyhow, you thought
they'd be all over it and be on top of it.
But no, Yeah, their equess has been there for more centuries,

(01:38:22):
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
Nice to hear, Dave Christ it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 30 (01:38:28):
Gooday Marcus. Just let you know I'm coming towards the
end of the longest trip I've ever done in forty
years of I'm having a car license.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Let me guess where you've gone from? Where did you start?

Speaker 30 (01:38:44):
I started in Bailey's Beach, which is yes, okay, well
west of west of Darkerzelle, and I didn't think i'd
do the Hall all the way through the Wellington today.
I wanted to get some accommodation halfway through and then
realized that it was a school holiday and there is

(01:39:06):
no accommodation, so I just plowed on from two Boy sorry,
two Boy was in per Boy at two thirty and
I've just passed through Boxton and hopefully god willing et cetera,
being Willington in about an hour's time.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
Oh you've done well.

Speaker 30 (01:39:24):
Yeah, and actually I've got a community you guys.

Speaker 16 (01:39:27):
I've got you on.

Speaker 30 (01:39:28):
One hundred pointy two and you came on at around
topo and the signals never wave it ever.

Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
Yeah, that's great to know. That's really good. And they
find it, they do surveys on that, they'll find that's interesting.
That's really good to know. Any idiots, any idiots on
the road.

Speaker 30 (01:39:46):
One idiot, I've used my one one. But actually the
behavior on the road's been bloody good. I had no
idea how many big tracks through the hall through the
middle of the night it's the real eye openers for me. Yeah,
between between like half past seven at nine and ten pm,
it's just truck out, the truck out, the track, keep
keeping the country going. So good to see them, the

(01:40:08):
pro drivers.

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
The pro good way. I've got no no shellfish from
no to.

Speaker 30 (01:40:14):
Hit no no. You see there's Ravai and all the beaches.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Well of course there was true yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 30 (01:40:21):
I've actually just to sorry if this is too boring
for your Marcus, but I set the truck counter before.
I spent eight days up in Northland, amazing, amazing place
and I've done two thousand, six hundred and sixty days
so far in the last eight days, and I really
enjoyed that part of the country.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
So you've been on You've been on holiday, have you?

I do a road trip every year to a different
part of the last two bits that I had left
was Northland and the one that I'm going to do
next year will be East Coast, you know, Gisbon and
Ruetoria and all those places. But I've done the rest
apartment Stuart Island.

Speaker 3 (01:41:03):

the North.

Speaker 30 (01:41:08):
Like, honestly, topal Bay, Todonga Bay, Martai Bay, just incredible
world class features because at this time of the year,
completely deserted. But you know, none of the letter, none
of the seaweeds, just clear water like something else like
a Hollywood film. Incredible Matdi Bay as well. But actually

(01:41:32):
the bit that I found during really it surprised me
was going all the way out to take the younger
and just the incredible natural awesomeness of those two oceans meetings,
but also with the whole thing of generous stories, you
know about the spirits leaving to Hawaii to the India

(01:41:54):
and uh yeah ride in the heart really glad it.

Speaker 6 (01:42:04):

Speaker 30 (01:42:14):

Speaker 30 (01:42:31):
Confident, Yeah, let's not get too confident to be safe
and all that. Really enjoyed speaking.

Speaker 3 (01:42:36):
Back at your Christ George. Speaking to you too, Chris.
It's Marcus. Hello, good evening, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:42:43):
Just on the subject of walking backwards, and it's not
walking back towards, but walking differently. I took up serious
walking in my late fifties, and it's quite funny. I
went along to the American Clinic at the end and
I was aiming to do a half marathon to kick
things off, and the first thing they said to me is,
with then I'll teach you how to walk, you know,

(01:43:03):
which I thought was quite funny given my age. But
I got into it quite seriously. And I remember going
out on one training run or training walk with these
guys and I was lagging behind, so I would jog
to keep up with them, and then i'd drop back
to a walk and then jog again. And then when
we did our three hour walk, the leader of the team,

(01:43:25):
a coach supposed to call them, said to me, oh,
you know, I'm surprised to keep up, and I said, well,
I had to jog some of the time, which I
thought was odd, because when my legs got tired walking,
I started jogging. And then when my legs got tired jogging,
I started walking and he said, yeah, well there's totally
different muscles, which really surprised me.

Speaker 3 (01:43:45):
Yeah, I can believe that because I do a lot
of walking and sometimes I'll break in a run to
just relieve it. Yeah, it does seem easier the running.
It's almost like I can't stop myself running from sometimes.
I don't really know what that was about.

Speaker 25 (01:44:01):
Yeah, but when he said different muscles, I thought, same legs.
It seems odd that. But here's the other thing. We
my first attempt at a half marathon, they said to me,
you need to go and walk for two or three hours,
two or three times a week, you know, to get
up speed, so to speak. And I just didn't have
the time. So I took up climbing a fairly serious

(01:44:24):
hill near my place, and that was taking me an
hour return. So realistically, I've never done more than like
an hour of walking. I went out and did my
first half marathon walk and it was a total, total
breeze and it was just a stamina that the hill
had given me.

Speaker 3 (01:44:41):
Did they say anything about getting a prepaired of straight
industry when you're walking a lot on pavement that it's
bad for you. Did they say anything about that, or
did right Shoes fix that? I always worry about that.

Speaker 25 (01:44:52):
I get very bored walking on This is one of
the reasons I went to the bush in the end
in the hill is that I got very bored walking
in straight lines on pavement. It's very boring and soul destroying.
So I started doing bushworks walks. And the other thing
was too that my first serious bush work walked, my
legs were okay, but my torso was quite sore.

Speaker 3 (01:45:13):
Okay, And you didn't tell you anything about hap to
prevent injury from walking on pavement though today, about what
you should do to stop getting some repentitive strains or illness.

Speaker 25 (01:45:24):
No, no, nothing like that. This was this wasn't You've
got to realize this wasn't top grade stuff. It was
just a matter stuff. But no, I just the pavements
just bored the hell out of me. So I just
took the bushwalks. And you can still get along at
a great pace in the bush.

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
Yep, thanks Chris. Nice to hear from your Mike. It's Marcus, welcome,
are they Mike? The good things?

Speaker 9 (01:45:50):

Speaker 3 (01:45:51):

Speaker 28 (01:45:51):
I am not just saying hello, I just calling from
United States. Just want to say good morning. Good morning
for me, but I just wanted to just check in.

Speaker 3 (01:46:00):
Where about to say, are you Mike.

Speaker 28 (01:46:03):
I'm not going a steak holder, and then up for
right right hand corner.

Speaker 3 (01:46:08):
Okay, receipt. You're listening on the intenad obviously, Yes, I am, yep.
What time of the day is it there? Did you
say or used today or whenever it is?

Speaker 28 (01:46:20):
I guess, yeah, it's still the same day. It's seven
thirty in the morning. I guess. I just dropped my
daughter off the school and I'm just heading into work.

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
Are you a regular listen?

Speaker 28 (01:46:29):
And I enjoyed it?

Speaker 12 (01:46:30):
I do.

Speaker 28 (01:46:31):
Actually, I have been listening to you for about a
week or two. I have my daughters in the back
of the car and we just listen to you guys,
just see what life's like down there, and just cool conversations.
And so they they're always asking about New Zealand and everything.
So it's kind of getting them interested in life on
the other side of the world.

Speaker 3 (01:46:47):
Have you got a connection with New Zealand at all?

Speaker 17 (01:46:51):
Uh?

Speaker 28 (01:46:51):
Not really. I teach at college up here and many
many of my students have gone to the Is it
the University of Otago or yeah, yep. So I've had
a lot of students go down there and they speak
so highly of it and they come back just loving
the place. So it's I don't know, I just I
like listening to radio from around the world, and just

(01:47:11):
I said, oh, I also listening to New Zealand, and
I like listening to the talk radio. Whenever I go
on road trips in the States, I always put on
talk radio. So it's just kind of a confluence of
just two interests.

Speaker 3 (01:47:22):
Basically, love you to talk, make good our guards to
children when you pick them up, Nice to hear from you.
