Park the word 'desiccated' (25 June 2026)

Marcus is not a knot guy, but he has come around to loving sachet coffee. Also, having the same name as someone else can be annoying.

Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings, are welcome Hawaii and you seeling good? Run name
as Marcus Hittl twelve o'clock. I hope it's good we
you are tonight. A couple of things. First off from me,
good day baking with the young one today and macaroon cake.
Well the eggs go into the cake and the whites
go into the top. And the question I've got about
cakes and bakers. Question for bakers, you go and get

(00:35):
tins now you buy tins right, and all the tins
have removable bases? Do we think that's a good thing?
Where we're not quite sure. I'm a bit old school
and like to kind of wipe butt around. You know,
you're supposed to greeze the tins, but do you I
don't know what's going on there. I'm not quit sure
if it's good or bad. I'll just cure because you
can't get the old ones anymore. They've got the removable bases.

(00:58):
So there's that that's thought. Not cake's delicious, by the way,
quite coconut e the top. There was a cup and
a half of coconut by the way can we act
the word desicated? We only ever use it with coconut,
don't we. Nothing else is desicated. No one knows what
it means. No one ever knows what it means. It
only comes up with coconut. Nothing else is desicated. I

(01:19):
don't even think those delicious mango strips you buy at
the supermarket a desk anyway. It's one of those words
that sounds nothing like it looks. It's like the opposite
of automatic payo anyway. Yeah, good cake and the kid
the supportably the cake that the children like it too,
is there because they're not on It's like, well, actually
that was a bit of a waste because he wasn't

(01:41):
going on the old apple and walnut cake, which actually
was delicious. Anyway, Now where are we going with this?
I've got no wah oh yes, if those things with
the removable tins are any good or not, the removable bottoms,
just asking that, putting that out there. A couple of
other things from me, just quickly on Tuesday, I was
begging streaming services and saying how terrible they are. It

(02:04):
was better off for the video shops. When you've got
a movie and watched it, Well, strike me down as
a hypocrite. Yesterday and today I got hooked on outlast
Well goodness, so I've seen that a couple of times
in the past. That's when they send people to Alaska
and there's a million dollars up for grab, but you've
got to be in a team at the end to

(02:25):
win it. Well, this time they've gone to think it
might be Panama. They're in the tropics. Goodness, me compelling
these people that are lovable, there's people that are ogu
So there we go. That was a surprise for me.
That was much much better I thought it was. So
I have found something on Netflix that was kind of compelling.
So there's been a big day watching TV and baking.

(02:47):
On the other thing was installing an outdoor clothes line.
Now I've got thoughts about that, right, knots. I'm not
good with knots. And it's hard to be not good
with knots because so often in your life you'll be
trying to tie something to a trailer or tie a
clothes line to a raft. I think, gee, I really

(03:07):
should have learned notts, but you never do. I've always
thought I'm not a good knot person, but I've never
thought I'm gonna learn knots and that weird a. You
can just your whole life think notts aren't for me.
But I could quite easily get on YouTube and learn knots,
couldn't I? So what's that about that we just think
we're not good at something? We don't do it so

(03:31):
I might become a knot boar. There's some good books
out there, fifty knots you need to know. Didn't think
there'd be fifty. I think about three would be good
for me. Never learned knots either. Figure eight I could do, probably,
but YouTube ideal for knots. What about the Amish Survival Manual?
Do you think that would be good? Probably? How to
fix your roller blades? Anyway? So, yes, we've gone through

(03:54):
pans and knots an outlast on TV very good. The
other thing is secret confession that I actually don't know
whether I should say or not I've developed Where are
we on those? What are our feelings on those? I'm
even embarrassed to say, what are our feelings about those

(04:16):
coffee sachets? They're like a long tube and I once
at work found some in the cupboard that were turmeric flavored,
flat whites. Well, they're delicious. I have one a day
of those. I think that I don't think it's a
good thing to have, and I wouldn't share with people
I respect that I'm drinking those but cheapers creepers delicious.

(04:38):
So I'm just saying that in cases coffee snobs out
there that, well, they wouldn't go near those with a
barge pole. Actually delicious. Oh yeah, they're always about down
to about three fifty at peck and Save. I was
thinking about that today's there we Go. That's a fairy,
big reveal for me, and a couple of things that
I think often in this job it's easy to come
along and not be positive about things. Oh yeah, what

(04:59):
about the government all year? What about this? Oh yeah,
what about that? When the last time a host come on?
This is what I'm excited about. I'm excited about a
show on Netflix, and I'm excited about coffee sachets and cakes.
I like a cake, but is it worth those tins
with the remover? If you can comment on any of
these things, well there might be something else you've discovered
that you're ecstatic about or excited. You're great discovery. This

(05:22):
is not the show for all of the night. I
want to talk about solar and batteries. We're in the
golden age of batteries in Australia. They're giving way power.
There's three hours every day free peak power. It's happening.
We're actually paying what it's worth, which is not much.
The golden days of Oh, by the way, keep those
weather updates for us, and be snowing. I saw an

(05:43):
orma co it snowed heavily. Cayman quick, Emily.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh, Hi, Marcus, Emily Hi. I. I was fascinated by
the porridge check the other night, and it prompted me
to google whether they sell chromota still? Kromosa? Was that
really fine kind of porridge that that lovely lady was
talking about.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
It wasn't unpleasant, it's it's different, but not in a
bad way.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, I love I love my oats, really really creamy.
And although they have fully discontinued kromotera, I thought I
would put you, or book whoever wants to know onto
a nice alternative. It's called milk Oaties by Uncle Toby's
and it's really really fine. It's not too it's not

(06:33):
too you know, lumpy, but it's not too fine. Either
it's the perfect amount and you just put I think
you just put one part water, one part oats and
it turns out like really similar to what Kromota used
to be, just from what I could see on Google images.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
So it's not on the individual sachets. You get in
a box like other porridge and you just yeah, because
I find the individual sachees all on Okay, So what's
called It's called otis.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, it's called Uncle Toby's milk oats. And they come
in those like five hundred grand boxes and they're a
little bit more expensive. They don't sell them in bulk pecks,
but they're really really yummy to have for breakfast. I
would I just let you know.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Okay, well, look, look, I respect and appreciate what you
have done. Have you actually tried it or just looked online.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Promos for itself? Not it was discontinued.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, have you tried have you tried the Uncle Toby's
or you've just looked at the packet?

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Yeah, I have it every day.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Oh okay, you're okay, Okay, yep, I've just.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
I've tried other types, like I've tried the Harroway's really
creamy Scotch oats, but it just doesn't do it like
the milk Ocees does. So anyway, that's what I came
on to say.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, that's good, that's a good that's good callback and
that's available at most supermarkets that you could see.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Peck and Save Mollies. I noticed that
it's a little bit cheaper of course at Peck and Say.
I think it usually goes for about three fifty four dollars,
still a little bit on the priceier side for the
amount you get, but it's definitely a nicer, nicer consistency.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's for sure, a fantastic way to start the show.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Me.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I appreciate that greatly. Wow in with the information and
said politely loving that, I think we're in for a
positive night, positive positive, positive knots. What about knots? What
about knots? And what about the word dessicated? Marcus friends

(08:32):
staying at top ten Queenstown was snowed in half the day.
Arthur's point got hard. I know what desicated means, but
I just they need to well these cad a dried
shredded coconut. Don't knock yourself for not being into knots.
It's not a good way to knock yourself. And are
they a bad thing? Those coffees and kind of long tools.

(08:54):
It's not really coffee, is it. I'm sure there's people
out there with their spress imagines vomiting into their cups
when they hear about it, but I'm sure in a quiet,
vulnerable moment they try. I think jee, it's green, but
it's a bit of all right? Who I think the brand?
I go through as Avalanche Avalanche? And what of that

(09:18):
about as Apero drinks? You ever tried those cheap as creepers?
They're addictive? Wow, you want to stair wheel clear of those?
Man you start drinking those? Got a calf full of
the bottles? Oh anyway, get in touched you onto anything else?
Or Comfrey? Oh wait, hold your horses, guys with your

(09:40):
sown and then moving. Shark related news the woman that
was attacked by the sharks. She has been reunited with
her daughter in hospital. That's big news on the Daily Mail.
The eighteen month old delightful looking baby dB. It's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
Oh sorry looking at something else? Knots Oh good evening.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Just before we go on the anniversary of Bob Blair's
death and the tongue wide disaster at train control, is
there something special when you know if there's been a laha?

Speaker 8 (10:15):
Yes, they have a a floe detector up the Wongahhoo River.
Now that says there's a big flow coming down, and
it alerts train control and I think it puts the
signals back to stop automatically.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Okay, how long have you got? How long up the river?

Speaker 9 (10:32):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
No idea?

Speaker 8 (10:34):
It never worked that little piece of section.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Okay, good answer, but.

Speaker 8 (10:37):
It must be.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
It was.

Speaker 8 (10:40):
I would imagine it gives them ten minutes, sure, which
is in modern times enough time.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, slam on the brakes. Were they not aware? Were
they not aware in nineteen fifty three of lahars?

Speaker 7 (10:55):
No?

Speaker 8 (10:56):
Not, and they were still running I think under tablet Okay,
of course they will. And in fact, it wasn't until
the other night that I've always envisionous the tang Way
being a Auckland to Wellington.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Me too, me too, but very much Wellington Auckland.

Speaker 8 (11:12):
But it was, yeah, and I've been to, I've taken
bus people there and here they fell off the bridge
in the opposite direction that I was thinking. Now cannot cannots.
You only need seven, and I don't think that's stretch
for most people to learn.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
People talk about it. People are when Gavin's around with it,
he's always talking about a hitch or something. Isn't he
a clove?

Speaker 10 (11:35):
Hitch? Is that one?

Speaker 8 (11:38):
So clove hitch and los is something that doesn't untie,
and a hatch is something that aunties easily. Well, that's
that's less.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
That's enough for me tonight. Anyway. I've never I've never
even heard that.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
That's a very loose definition, but it'll do.

Speaker 9 (11:58):
So.

Speaker 8 (11:58):
You need to know how to put a stopper on
the end of the low a rope. You need to
know how to tie a rope to something, which is
your clothes. Hitch is a good start. You need to
know how to put a loop at the end of
a rope, and the good old bowline will do that.
There's three You need to join two ropes of the

(12:18):
same length, the same width together. You can get away
with a reef knot, but there are better ones. But
if the knot's got not going anywhere, it's just gonna
sit there and do nothing. Just hold two ropes together.
A reef knot will do you.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Is it the same as a grenny is a reef
not the same as a grannie knot.

Speaker 8 (12:38):
They are diametrically opposite each other.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Okay, So.

Speaker 8 (12:44):
When you tie up your shoelaces, if the bows go
across your shoe, you've made a reef knot a slip
reef knot, but a reef dot all the same. If
the bows go up and down your shoe, you've made
a granny knot and they will that do themselves. So
what do we get to If you want to tie

(13:05):
two reps together diffferent sizes, you need a sheet bend
that's four.

Speaker 11 (13:12):
Need to.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Figure eight.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
On its own. We'll make a good stuff and nott.
But if you're tying to another rape, they're very good
for fat cordage straps. So you've been two steps together
in a figure eight and they will self tightened. If
you want something to tie a bag neck together, you

(13:39):
need to learn the So everything's gone from my head
the constructor knot. So the more you pull it, the
tighter it gets. That's a lot. That's a real lot.
That's not a hitch. It's not it's a knot that
will self tighten. The more you pull it, the more

(14:00):
it gets tighter, it doesn't unloose itself. That's five. What
else have we got short of the lot you need
to know sheep shank, short of this piece of rope?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Sorry?

Speaker 8 (14:12):
And seven oh something too that you can tie down
a load with. And you know you've got your truckers hatch,
which is very hard to learn. Or put a foot
knot and run the running in through that networks just
as well?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Would you learn your knots? TB? Was it cea Scouts
or the railways or where.

Speaker 8 (14:38):
I had to expee to myself because I played with
boats for a long time.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Okay, but.

Speaker 8 (14:45):
There are a thousand better. Oh, I'm sorry. And the
halls are knots because big rope requires a slightly different knot.
There's about a thousand knots out there. But if you
learn seven basic knots, you're set for life.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Like the sound of that, what's your favorite knot? dB?

Speaker 11 (15:06):
A knot?

Speaker 8 (15:06):
I really like the Ashley hawser bend. It's for tying
two big ropes together, and the rope itself is the
knot itself is symmetrical and you can run it through
the sheeve of a pulley And I think it's a
wonderfully beautiful.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Knot looks good on What about the Carrock bend? Have
you done that?

Speaker 8 (15:28):
Yes? No, the Carrock bend and the Alpine butterfly hitch,
which puts a loop in the middle of a rope
that will take pressure from any direction on any leg.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
There's a lot two knots is in there, absolutely.

Speaker 8 (15:44):
Okay, and there are still inventing them.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
But r b A, I would it.

Speaker 8 (15:50):
No knot makers, there are not making guild really absolutely,
but if you get seven that you know to do
the seven basic things. And yeah, the last one, of course,
was putting a loop in the middle of a bike
that won't slip, and that's the Alpine butterfly hitch. You're

(16:11):
pretty well done.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
I can visualize the not Tires Guild logo would be
kind of a tired a tied knot, wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (16:20):
Absolutely? And there's a big guild in New Zealand of
which I'm not a member, but I've often thought of joining.
Are not guild absolutely.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Cheaper?

Speaker 8 (16:34):
But the event, like I said, they're inventing new not
to and I leared a couple knew just in the
last six months how to tie back two cross sticks together.
Were it not that I had never seen before, But
I really like the symmetry of.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
How mean notts would you know? dB?

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Probably thirty is enough for me, because yeah, you don't
want to be thinking of which one say I use.
You just need to be able to do it, because
quite often when you need a knot in a hurry,
you don't want to be thinking about it. You need
to just be able to heavy hands produce it.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Nice to hear to be thinks so much all about
the knots. But if everything tonight, to keep it going
to football, we light me up. Someone's complaining I don't
give the phone number out enough. Of course I've never
heard from that before. Normally it's too often. There's always
got an opinion in this world, haven't They always got
an opinion, and they've always got sort of a desire
to share it. Even it's Marcus good.

Speaker 12 (17:32):
Evening, Yes, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 10 (17:36):
Knots, Yes, very handy skill to have self taught.

Speaker 12 (17:41):
A little bit of a little bit of help from
other people. There's quite a few of the young ladies here.
Dec ends on the fairies. That's what they mainly do
is untie and tie up.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Imagine if you're someone of a maritime natured, offer me
a rope in your hand, just kind of experimenting with
different knots. If you're of that elk, wouldn't you you'd
have a rope in your hand from time to time.

Speaker 12 (18:02):
Bolin's are pretty good knot very easily undone describe that
to me. Uh loop and then the ends through the
top and back around the mainline and back through the bottom.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
It always sounds sensible when you're doing it, but.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Hard to follow.

Speaker 10 (18:18):
A Yeah, there's a book.

Speaker 12 (18:20):
I mean, very good skill to have for fishing as well.
If you want to take the kids out for a fish,
tie your coon.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I think I probably know the bowline exit or the bowlin.

Speaker 12 (18:29):
Yeah, i'd say so. God, you know, it's good skill
for camping all sorts of stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Oh yeah, I'm just as curious about because I mean,
that's one of the great things the insect with YouTube
is all there isn't it. You can learn anything if
you put your mind to it, and so straightforward.

Speaker 12 (18:42):
Yeah, it's good, good handy to have a few few
up your sleeves, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's happening on the seat tonight.

Speaker 12 (18:49):
I've been a bit choppy but earlier but colder.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
How's that bet for you? Operated fairy going?

Speaker 12 (18:54):
Well, it's still not going, Marcus, the diesel battery off
of what rated one's going. I've still got the plastic
on the seats and still trialing.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
So that's a long time for a trial. Must be problems, Eh, yeah.

Speaker 12 (19:08):
I get the feeling. That's not as simple as I
think it was going to be.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Never is ever nice to talk twenty nine away from
twenty nine, twenty seven away from nine, Marcus, Marcus is wrong.
The difference between a not and the hitches are not
as a stable entert in itself, but a hitch needs
to be tied around something or will fall apart all
by itself. Otherwise, most knots are just variations of bowline.

(19:33):
Even most climbers can get away with three knots and
two hitches. The best knot, the best knot one which
is tied correctly. Oh gosh, that's a I think that's
in the quiz, shivice. Did I just swear?

Speaker 13 (19:50):
Then?

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Maybe I did? That's in the quiz. What's the best knot?
The one that's tied correctly?

Speaker 9 (19:57):
Love that?

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Love that, Marcus. The Farber grade in the farther grade.
We use the round two to half. It's one hundred
percent on roof. I don't know what that, Marcus. Tell
someone tell Marcus at summer in the first fifty minutes
of his program, he should give the text number. I
got tired. It just got of the website. Flip flip, oh, Marcus.

(20:22):
If you resort to using coffee bags, and I think
this time has come to give up and just have
a cup of tea, real coffee when you need real coffee,
and the rest of the time of cap of t
get rid of the coffee bags. This is a problem
with coffee. People so judgmental and sort of boring with it.
What's the easiest path It's easy to be judgmental or

(20:43):
not judgmental. What's the easiest path to happiness? Do you
think probably to be not judgmental? That would be my pick.
Go at me, get in touch Marcus till twelve oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine
two nine two nine two to text anything else. We're
here for your people. Knots and and cake tins with

(21:05):
the him is it a good thing? With the bottom
of the removable bottom? Do we think people that bake
a lot is an advantage or is it a gimmick.
I don't know. I've got no idea, got an idea
of anything these days. And knots well, I didn't think
we get calls on lots, and then we did. So
that's interesting, isn't it, Dan says Bill ho Hepper taught
me the hoe Heaper twist at fishing camp in the

(21:27):
nineteen nineties, and I still use it. Marcus, speaking of knots,
using a YouTube to weave a survival bracelet, eight inches
of bracelet round the wrist equals eight feet of cord unraveled.
What would that be for? What would you need eight
feet of cord for? I'm enjoying what people are saying.
People have got some great facts, Marcus. If you can't

(21:50):
tie a knot, tie a lot, Marcus. The missus has
got a knot in a calf. I'm messaging at the
moment I love someone, referring to someone as the missus.
The phone and text numbers are probably read out two
times a day by the various hosts. Get out from
under your rock. I bore my self with hot times
how many times I read out the phone number? Sometimes

(22:12):
ships blah blah blah, twenty three to nine, twenty to nine.
Hello Clarence, it's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Welcome, Hello in Lacus.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
It's a good subject tonight. If you've had anything to
do with boating or fishing, you need to know you're
not It's a good thing to remember that any knot
you tie, depending on the purpose of it, well weaken
the joint, will weaken the rope by about fifty percent,

(22:46):
depending on the type of rope. But say that again,
any kno you tie onto something, well weaken the rope
by about fifty percent. It depends on the type of
braid you've got. Those you've got really good braid, that
won't be quite that bad. But if it's an ordinary

(23:06):
like twine or string or anything like that, when you tie,
not that they're not designed These strings and times are
not designed to take huge loads.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
So you're saying that then the strand or the rope
is twice as likely to just break not at the knot,
but at its.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Length, well near the knot, because it's putting a force
on it. That it's only only if you put overload it.

Speaker 11 (23:35):
That's all.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
But the one that DV is that's the simplest one.
It's called the simple overhand knot. That's just a simple
loop and that makes a good stop and not on
the end of it if you're doing so, even with
a piece of coffin and you want to sew or
tie something a piece of cotton, to put a simple

(23:58):
overhand knot on the end and it gives you something
to grip on other as the thing keeps slipping.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Out of your hand.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
My favorite knot is there's one called a boats In's chair,
made like a bolin and you can sit in it
and be used to haul up a cliff in that,
but I've modified it. I made it a double flip bowlin,
so you've got two loops under your size, so there's

(24:25):
less pressure on one spot and you can easily undo it.
So there's god. I've been a practicing magician since its
two now, and there's a lot of very clever trick
knots that look like they're impossible to undo and you

(24:47):
can get it to you.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
I've kind of seen some of that stuff that ty
not they put it apart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting time
to be a magician, isn't it? With everyone on YouTube
showing how tricks are done. You feel right about that?

Speaker 7 (24:59):
Well, it's it's one of the things that's a bugby
with anyone who's been a professional magicians. The worst one
is was through Famous. He was a good magician, but
he always showed the kids how it's done.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
And that was.

Speaker 7 (25:14):
Muhammad Ali and he would have been thrown out of
the magic circle. Did it because it spoils it spoils
the magic? Yeah, Well, last night I was talking with
Tim Beverage about handkerchiefs, so saying who uses handkerchiefs now?
And I said, magicians use salt hankies and there you

(25:36):
tie lots in them, and then there's a big cotton
months of putting over something so that you can do
a bit of hanky panky underneath. It makes something bentish
or something up here.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
You still perform clarents, Well, I'll.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
Send you two. And I'm an invalid, so I don't
get around very much. And I don't have a car
anymore because someone stole it. I can't afford to replace it.
So no, I don't perform much, but I have done.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I don't want to sound disrespectful, but it's it's an
irony that the magician's car disappeared, doesn't it. Yeah, you
go the police station sing magicians, someone, my cars disappeared.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
They are well, yeah, it wasn't laughable.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Then it's heartbreaking. But you know, I've tried to keep
I'll try to keep the show upbeat. But that's that
is heartbreaking that you that you that you can't get
out of the house because you're intallet in your car's
being stolen. It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
Here's here's a good tip though for people. If you
know how to tie knots, you're going to be able
to untie them. If you want that piece of froak
to do another job and string cords, braid anything like
that that's got lots in it, you can undo them
easily by using two strong needles or pins and you

(26:56):
just insert them into the where the fold of the
notes one way and then the other way, and you
just wiggle it and wiggle it and it will come
undone brilliant.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Is there any prospect you'll get a card? Clearence?

Speaker 7 (27:09):
No, I won't even get a license now. I'm not
physically able to do that. In the meads of mine,
I shouldn't drive with anyway, because I've had all sorts
of problems with my backgrowthn and stuff?

Speaker 11 (27:23):
What's it? What happened?

Speaker 3 (27:24):
What's city in Clarence? What city are you?

Speaker 7 (27:28):
I'm in Auckland, Rosco.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Can you get on public transport?

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Yes, I've got the super gold Can Can I make
s out to Joe Gilfillan and Emily they're doing a
great job, and a little bit more detail on those earthquakes,
please sure?

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Okay? Fifteen to nine. I wait one hundred and eighty
Italian nine nine to text. Magicians. I goodness, if I
see something that comes up on social media and it
says how they do a trick, I'll watch that. I
find it interesting how they do that?

Speaker 9 (28:04):
Fancy that?

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, it's quite straightforward now you think about it. I
don't find myself in front of magicians that often. I've
always found where the magician that always came to primary school.

Speaker 14 (28:17):
What was his name?

Speaker 7 (28:18):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Tony Wilson? I think I don't think it was John's Lande,
one of those early ones. I think it was Tony
Wilson with a magician, but forever doing that damn one
with the magic warm that you handed to a candidate
would go all, it would go limp drove me crazy,
not because it was startling, just because it was always
doing it.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
And yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Always found magic frustrating. Will that be the right word
for it? Yes, I guess so. But yeah, it brings
people out of happiness. I think it was Tony what
was it? Tony Wilson? Might be anyway enough for me
back at your fourteen to nine twelve to nine, I

(29:03):
think we go strong with knots. Be good to get
an not sponsored probably about not. No one can make
money out of them, can they?

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Now?

Speaker 3 (29:09):
They just need a bit of rope. No one's even
monetized knots. I like that about them. The people's things,
aren't they not cannots? And imagine the magician with all
his knots nickets? Marcus, welcome you, Marcus.

Speaker 10 (29:24):
Hey, look I'm ringing about coffee. Yeah, the biggest consence
y two K.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Coffee.

Speaker 8 (29:31):
Oh yeah, gosh.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
There were some wine connoisseurs, now, aren't they?

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Guy?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Absolutely, because they're not. They don't keep it to themselves.

Speaker 10 (29:41):
They'll tell everyone, Ah, yeah, you know, give me a
kap of bushels?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
And you know, do we know why two K was
a scam? Didn't they have to? Some people had to
fix their computers. First. Was that was that the scam charging.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
People was just the analogy I came up with.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
It's a good yeah, very good to come up with.

Speaker 10 (30:04):
Something to get the conversation going, didn't I yeah, novery good.
But you give me a cup of bushels mate. You
know it's some sort of you know, people walking around
in zombies like zombies like walking dead at work until they've.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Haven't haven't had the coffee.

Speaker 10 (30:18):
Yeah, a coffee until they until they've gone, haven't gone.
It's been eight bucks in the coffee place somewhere.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
It'd be terrible if you're the boss of the company
because they were off to get a coffee morning tea,
gone for half of it, because you're gonna wait for
twenty minutes till they make it.

Speaker 10 (30:33):
I watched public servants. I won't say watch city council,
but in the morning they will turn up and scream
of them. They're only just turned up to work at
eight o'clock in the morning, and they'll be they're going
out in groups, have about ten to get and they
come back about half an hour later with a coffee,
and then you.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Know it's not why it's not white techy where they're
complaining about their thirty rate increases it.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
It probably happens there too. No, but it's not why techy.

Speaker 15 (30:56):
No.

Speaker 10 (30:56):
But yeah, you know, but I'd love they have a
Pipsy good on rather.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
They have a Pipsi. Well, because there's the PIPSI is
a pipsie.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
The update is too from the woman's going to take
by the shark that she is out of critical condition
and has been reunited with her baby daughter who is
eighteen months. No, the baby's called August, so prigent. Imagine
if your baby's called August to be born in August,
so must be twenty three months old. That would be
my take on that one. But that's just if you're
named after a month, Ay, you're born in that month,

(31:29):
what name? What months can you be named after? May, April, May, August,
June can't be called July August? That said, isn't it funny?
A like days of the week you'll be called Tuesday.
I knew someone called Tuesday. I don't know anyone any
other days of the week Tuesday. Yeah, that's right, I

(31:53):
didn't know Tuesday anyway. Get in touched Marcus till twelve.
Oh wait one hundred and eighty Liz Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 16 (32:02):
I'm going back a long term because she made me
laugh with my younger who was he? I suppose it
was enough to do with me too, as at fault.
He loved anything to do with musicians, so he was eight,
so he studied the books and him and I have
spend time doing it because he was full of tricks anyway,

(32:23):
So we used to go to common Co when my
husband work late with the kids. And down there at
common Cod there was a musician.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Who was it I can't remember his names, John Delendo
or something. What are we one of those ones?

Speaker 17 (32:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (32:38):
Well any ocean ice druller and my girls. There's a
wek quite a gap between my son and the daughters,
so they told us. So it's lordship sitting at the table,
lovely looking boy golden here sweets light. Magician comes over
and does his trips, and he didn't think he was
being rude. Said, I don't think your z s right anywhere?

Speaker 8 (33:00):
He said.

Speaker 16 (33:01):
The magicians says.

Speaker 9 (33:02):
Why, well, I can do all those trips.

Speaker 16 (33:06):
Well, magic said, all right, isn't really good? Well you
can imagine the poor magician. I was mortified, and as
big systems. They could have killed him.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Did the young boy continue with his magic?

Speaker 16 (33:20):
Nobody has that brain. He's gone orphan to all sorts
of It's not surprising because see he deviated often to
all those check areas and everything.

Speaker 18 (33:32):
Do you know me?

Speaker 16 (33:34):
He's over in England.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
He's on.

Speaker 16 (33:38):
No no, no, his his his was what was yst
so much a flutter?

Speaker 9 (33:44):
It t you know?

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, what.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I call that?

Speaker 16 (33:48):
It everything?

Speaker 3 (33:51):
You know, everything's information technology. That'll do it. Let's thank you.
Nice to talk. Marcus just came back from Sydney for
work and I popped at the wall with giving away
really nice pots and pens. When you Collick steps, why
is it here? It's always those flaming toy bricks Exactly
when Walworth's going to give away something decent, it was
those toy bricks or those terrible Disney cards sort of

(34:13):
that will Worth should be giving away much better stuff.
When's new we're going to have some pots and pans again.
The question we're all asking, how are you going? People? Well,
not magicians. We've done it all that hour coffee sachets,
that bad thing. But that turmeric, oh delicious? Who knew

(34:36):
turmeric was so good. There's a Fort Street rooftop, bars
and fire. It's called mister Murdoch's cheap our commercial kitchen.
It's always a commercial kitchen. What hapens with a commercial kitchen?
They mustn't clean their extractor is where's the kitchen? I
guess often it's the there'd be a spin dry to
dry their tea towels. Well, then they haven't cleaned out

(34:57):
the lint. Always clean out the lint. I'm not quite
sure how many fires have started by not cleaning out
the limp, but I've always thought that could be a
good Victor hit or twelve one thems Marcus, good evening.
Call me during the news if you want to be
teed up for the next hour. If you want the
phone number, google it. Some tremendous topics out and about that.

(35:20):
We are talking a lot of texts about people named
after months and days of the week, and to be
named after a month, are you born in that month
or named on a day of the weekday born on
that day of the week. Please, And I've got some
requests too from people with questions. Hold your horses, Wesley,
It's Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 19 (35:39):
Hey Marcus, I understand that you have questions on what
causes commercial kitchen fires. As someone that used to work
in a commercial kitchen, one of the most common causes
would be grease spilled up in the exhaust systems, equipment failures,
and just you know, lack of criendliness can also lead

(36:04):
to grease spilled up on equipment as well, but most
commonly it's when the equipment fails and no one catches
it until it's too late.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
You know, those extracted fans full of Greece, they wouldn't
spontaneously can bust underheat or would they.

Speaker 19 (36:20):
If they if they have an electrical spark.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Because of course the combination of that and the spark. Yes,
it's always in kitchens of home. That's why Sony Wooden
Pubs burnt down was it was always in the kitchen
or people smoking in their rooms. I would think it was.

Speaker 19 (36:38):
Most commonly, Yeah, the kitchen, and it's usually a most
commonly equipment failure with grease spilled up, and as soon
as there's hits the grease, the place goes up like
a volcano.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Brompha Wesley, thank you for that brilliant good start. The
but of information from your ten past nine here till
twelve were a broad church rowing at S Marcus. Good evening,
Alla Marcus.

Speaker 15 (37:07):
I just have a little coffee story i'd like to
share with you here here in Waikaia on a Friday
morning at ten o'clock those of us who want together
at the store to sit around and chat and catch
up with each other and have a cup of coffee.
But unfortunately that wasn't able to continue because our little
shop had suffered fire damage. Yes, yes, so anyway, we

(37:29):
were all missing it. So after about three weeks we decided, oh,
why don't we just go to different still have our
coffee group. We'll go to the church. They've got good
heaters and a good, good kitchen facility. So we've put
up a couple of tables and we started the heating on.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
And hang on because I know there's more than one way. Kaya,
Where are we talking?

Speaker 2 (37:49):
No?

Speaker 15 (37:50):
Not surely, there's not more than one way, Kaya.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Yes, there's a Waikaia in Southland.

Speaker 15 (37:56):
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Okay, sorry, yes, okay, understand sorry, yes, yes, yes, yes, sorry,
my apologies executively right. Yeah yep, yeah, I thought.

Speaker 15 (38:07):
We were I thought we were unique.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Yeah, I thought you were well, yeah, I think there
might be a white Carver and Nelson. But anyway, you're right, yep.

Speaker 15 (38:14):
There's why cakers and rock wise around anyway. So we
decided we'd have it in the church, so we brought
all these packets of you're talking about the coffee sachets,
So we bought all these packets of coffee sachet.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
So it's a bit of a trick.

Speaker 15 (38:30):
You walk into the church and along and survery are
about at least six packets of vanilla latte or you know,
cambal latte and all these things. So and we just
we've given them cheese roll and asked for a gold
coin doination to help with the heating. But people just
seem so happy to be back together again, and they're

(38:51):
sort of sacrificing their good quality coffee just to have
the company of the people.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
So that's les, isn't it. They're they're not going to
the shop for the coffee, they're going for the company.

Speaker 15 (39:01):
That's right. Yes, So we had about we've had twenty
five one Friday twenty four nineteen, so twenty five was
about twenty five percent of our population. So that's not
a bad ratio, is its Friday?

Speaker 9 (39:14):
Morning.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
What's the story with the store? Will that be rebuilt?

Speaker 15 (39:18):
Well, it's just we're just at the red cap stage
at the moment. To look at it, it doesn't show
a lot of damage. It's just got a couple of
windows boarded out. But there's interior damage in the kitchen
part and smoke damage. So they have to wait and
see the shop. The building is actually owned by a

(39:38):
group of people called the Progress League, who do a
lot for Kaiak and then it's leased out to someone
who wants to operate the shops.

Speaker 7 (39:45):
So yes, so that's.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
You are quite a you are quite a you're a
special town because you're sort of an exit.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah you yes, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
And I suppose they're not getting gold in the hills
around there, now are there the gold mines? We started?

Speaker 15 (40:07):
One has but it's finished now. But we had that
big one coming right up the valley for about seven caves.
That was amazing. So Marcus, I'm going to ask you now,
have you visited our museum?

Speaker 9 (40:17):
Like, no, it must not have.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
I think the last time we were there was probably
we stayed at the pub we've been walking up to
up some of those walks. Is it's called the Dome.
I forget what the walks, Yeah, but that would have
it was during the war too, so it was slightly Yeah,
it probably wasn't the best time to be walking in
the hills. But and I think that was before kids,

(40:41):
so that would be twelve years ago since I've been no.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Return.

Speaker 15 (40:46):
So we're on winter hours at the moment, so we're
only open on said dawn Sunday from one to three. Yes,
so then late weekend we go back to seven days
a week. But it's really worth it's been very professionally
done and it's really worth a visit.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
I promise you I will do that.

Speaker 15 (41:03):
Rowan, Okay, that's very good.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah, no, I can't. I can't wait. I feel bad.
I haven't been there. Thank you, Rowan, thank you very much.
Fourteen past nine now names of months for your name, Marcus.
My great grandfather's name was Teatipu, my Muldi word for sunday.
Very good. Marcus worked on the Port of Auckland for
a while. Love to watch the guys splice big ropes

(41:26):
into loops. They had fids like a metal spike and
almost lost art. Now I would say new ropes like
Spectra are extremely strong lots small and required different knots.
You forgot January for peoples named after months. January Jones
was on mad Men, easy on the eye. Goodness, here's

(41:49):
a text, I like, where is that text? It is
a very good texts now here's a text I wanted
to read out. Please, Marcus, please settle a bit with
my sister. Are you a Gemini or an eerie star sign?
Who's the money on? Neither neither eries nor gym? Are

(42:12):
you just taking that from the way I sound. Marcus
did a lot of not tying the seventies, tying loads
of wall bales going from Wakatata Napier. We used temp
plow line rope eu ropes were rough on the hands.
We had callouses like dinosaur hyde can tire ref not
that just shakes loose when you want it off. Twenty
to twenty five ropes, one hundred and fifty dollars of wool.

(42:33):
A lot of not pride out there, evening kat It's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 19 (42:37):
Okay, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Thank you?

Speaker 17 (42:39):
Sorry, yeah, you're just echoing in the background, but that's okay.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
I just am so.

Speaker 17 (42:47):
I was so distraught to learn that, to learn that
the Greeks coffee was finishing and Doneda didn't like a
year ago.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
Why were you distraught?

Speaker 16 (42:59):
Because I love it?

Speaker 17 (43:00):
And I worked in Australians in the mines for like
four years and I used to get my mom and
she would seen packets and packets and packets over to
way mate, and you can't get it anymore. And it
was a cheap coffee and it was called Greg Streaks
and no one.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Liked it and you can get all these He not
have Greggs? Sorry, do the Australians not have Greggs?

Speaker 17 (43:28):
Hell no, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
I just thought an Australian thing. Well it's gone it is, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 17 (43:34):
It was born and bought brought up in Dunedin, okay, yeah,
and that's where it was born. And no, Mom used
to see packets over to Australia for me and it's finissed.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Yeah, has got Has it got a seal on the top?

Speaker 17 (43:52):
It's the big packet with Gregs on it?

Speaker 3 (43:55):
And no, okay, Kate, Kate, listen to me. Has it
got that sealed bit that you've got to pace before
you can get it? Has it got sorry, the seal
across the top?

Speaker 13 (44:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (44:09):
So do you want how long would it keep? Are
you wanting to stock pilot? I'd love to have you emptied.
The shelves are still long because I wonder how long
it would last.

Speaker 17 (44:17):
I'm sure coffee would last for us forever, you.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Know, sail around the top. You should be buying some,
I know, but we to buy it.

Speaker 17 (44:25):
You can't because I've stopped manufacturing it.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
I'm saying that. I'm saying that we did stock on shelves.
Won't they hopefully?

Speaker 16 (44:34):
Hopefully?

Speaker 17 (44:35):
But it's like everything, and you know, you can get macaroni,
you can get niche stepper, you can get all these
more explinsive coffee. But I still love Greg Streaks. I
used to call it, and it used to be funny
because Mum would stand twelve packets at a time over
to w away from me. And you just can't get

(44:56):
it anymore. And it's it's lovely. It doesn't have a
caramal taste. It's fort a real coffee taste.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Nice to hear from you, Kate, Thanks so much to
texts Marcus Pete. Here did you you say April for
a name? I had a dog called May was a
Labrador great duck dog. Funny duck shooting opens and may
Well named Marcus my favorite saying about knots. If you
don't know knots. If you don't know knots, ty lots, So,

(45:23):
I said Marcus, the irony of the magician's car disappearing?
Did he checked behind his ear? Marcus worked with a
lady called may said to her in June, your so
last month, Marcus, The main fires come from deep friers
that haven't been changed in a while, catch fire and
spread easily. Marcus, you are talking about turmeric. I used

(45:44):
on my toast for breakfast each morning, toast of good
grain bread. I use Plowman's butter lightly and a finished
lab of marmalade, then another finished lab of crush ginger,
and finished with a sprinkling dusting of turmeric. Free tasty kitty, Ma,
what do you call a magician that has lost his magic? Ian?
It's a visual joke. Marcus called into Willies on the

(46:07):
way home and added Uncle Toby's milk coaties to my
basket used to have as a kid. Thanks to the
woman who phoned in, cheers, Michelle, you forgot January with
for people named after months, July, Juliet Julio, July month, April, April.
Funny how October is the tenth month and not the eighth.

(46:28):
The magician would have been Tony Wilson. He was my
neighbor as a child, had stunning fat white rabbits. June
is a girl's name, Marcus. I quite like the season's name.
As a teacher, I've taught winter a couple of summer's Autumn.
Still waiting a spring, or you wouldn't call a kid.
You couldn't call a kid spring. We'll go boing boing

(46:49):
at you, wouldn't they boing boing. My granddaughter is called April.
She was born in October. This wouldn't have been conceived
in April, either, would she is? She's prem Wednesday Adams,
a lot of not talk, Diesel, a dollar ninety nine
and ricket and such a psychological lift. We drove past

(47:10):
the gas station today between things this afternoon, and there's
about twenty cars in. There must be something special on, Marcus.
Not sure if you've read this on the radio, but
talking about Nott's, where did the term get not had
come from?

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Thirty percent of your audience are not online. Giving out
the text number and phone and number is still an
unfortunate necessity. Of course, everyone's a boss these days, aren't they.
Pretty One past nine, both Matt Henry and Glenn Phillips
a rut of the third Test. Matt Henry's got a
calf injury. Glenn Phillips has a side strain injury. Both
out of the third Test. That's news just through Pamit's Marcus.

(47:46):
Good evening.

Speaker 15 (47:48):
Hello Marcus. I'm eighty five and I want to tell
you about my mother, who was brought up in Dunedin,
went to Suntilda's College school and her best friend right
through school was Alice Gregg, and her father's started that
coffee factory in Duneda.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
I don't know that I always knew that, I guess
in DNEDI because it always sounded to me like it
was always international brand, because it was all I mean,
Greg's was always the pick of the instant coffees, wasn't it.

Speaker 15 (48:21):
Yes, it was very popular and the factory was not
far from the university. I was brought up in Dunedin
as well, and when I was at Teacher's College down
where the old Dunedin North Intermediate used to be, Yes,
just across the leaf from there was the Grief Factory

(48:44):
and the air was always heavy with the smell of coffee.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Beautiful smell too, was beautiful smell to the beans catch fire.
But yeah, I'm looking at that five story building. It
was a nice kind of a big building there on fourtune.

Speaker 15 (48:56):
Yes, it's a very imposing building. And my mother used
to talk about Alice Gregg a lot. And as I say,
I'm eighty five, so it was a long long time ago.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
And did you, Pam, did you drift north?

Speaker 15 (49:11):
I live in christ Church now over this show. I
married someone who was in shipping, so we lived at
most ports in New Zealand and also in Fiji for
quite a long time.

Speaker 7 (49:24):
Yes, but I'm back in this house Island now on
christ Church.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Pleased about that. Nice to hear from your Pam. Thank
you so much to the twenty six past nine here
till twelve. The number is eight hundred and eight people
named after months and weeks. Is it a good thing
of a people? Oh? I guess that's kind of something
that people make jokes about, wouldn't they. Marcus stu Here
went to island last year, stayed with my sister, taught
my brother in law, the figure eight not and termination

(49:49):
not for fencing on the farm. Thursday is cheap petrol
day check Guestbie Gosh, I think I think probably out
of all radio shows, this show would have an audience
that knows more about knots than most shows. I think
some extra straordinary not texts. Someone sent me some images

(50:11):
of you can still get Greggs powdered red ribbon roast
at Countdown Online as proud as the Winner's circle at
the a MP show. Red ribbon roast will win your
heart with its smooth, balanced flavor. Get out of here,
putting the AMP Show in the packet when you're brought
now by Hines and laid everyone off. Goodness me terrible

(50:34):
craft Hinds, they've got no passion for AMP show. Don't
get me started, but thanks Martin.

Speaker 16 (50:43):
Ooh.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
The other thing about names. January couldn't be called February,
could be called March. She couldn't really be called March.
She could be more April. You could be called May,
You could be called June, could be called July, could
be called could call August. You never could be called September.

Speaker 15 (51:02):
What?

Speaker 3 (51:03):
Why does some work in some don't work? I don't
really get it. Ah, there must be some reason for
that anyway. The other thing I want to talk about
is just trying to find the story. It says any
month can technically used as a given name. Only a
few are broadly accepted. No legal restriction stopping you from

(51:25):
naming a child after a month. You don't even have
to be born in that specific month or use it
as a name. Goodness. How interesting is a name called
Orgie which is short for or like Orgie hour. He's
probably born in August. Very interesting anyway, Get in touch.
My name is Marcus Hettel twelve.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Now, there was a big thing that went on social
media for a while ago because someone called their daughter
Autumn and the group sort of gathered around an incredibly
nasty turf of calling a child Autumn and your mother
gave her a hard time about it, And I can't
quite work out why they thought it was a bad name.
I don't mind Autumn as a name, but there we go.

(52:09):
There some more discussion about that. Pack and Save club
card went to pack and Save and roal like the
cash was explaining people you don't get points with a
new club card. I was wondering why to even put
the pack. I'm sick of yourself. Check out there asking
me for my club plus card or that's at the
four square. I think actually no one wants that. Pauline.
This is Marcus. Marcus, this is Pauline. Welcome and good evening,

(52:31):
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 6 (52:32):
The name Autumn, someone named Autumn was actually related to
Queen Elizabeth's and I think it was when Princess Ann's
son married an American woman. Either her name was Autumn
or their daughter was Autumn. This is going back quite
a few years ago.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Yeah, yeah, I can imagine Autumn sounds like an American
name and a British name. Would that be right?

Speaker 15 (52:57):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (52:57):
But listen, what a fantastic show tonight, I'm all he is.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
Oh good, thank you, Pauline.

Speaker 14 (53:02):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Always good. When someone gets a chance to say goodbye,
doesn't happen often, does it? Knots and pots. My father's
middle name was Augustus. He was born on the thirty
first of August. My coffee of choice is PAMs coffee.
I love the taste. It doesn't make me feel heady.
It's raasonbly priced. I make it with oat or almond
milk and coconut sugar. Who's heard of coconut sugar? Marcus

(53:27):
the Greggs coffee factory indneed and also produced jelly, herbs, spices, stuffing,
baking ingredients, and powdered drinks that included RaRo and other products.
I always thought RaRo came from Rara Tonga. Who knew
it was from Dunedin. It sounds so tropical. Now Texas
is Matt Henry and Glenn Phillips could have broken the
curfew after the second test. These injuries could be fabricated. Wow, Wow, goodness.

(53:54):
What's with cricket and rules getting touched? If you want
to add to all this, people, my name is Marcu's
welcome twenty seven to ten.

Speaker 17 (54:00):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
I was going to talk about names and this is
topic name adjacent. How do I get into this? Yes? Now,
let me think what There's a guy who has been
disqualified from running for the Eskins Senate because the guy
who is the senator is called Dan Sullivan and this
guy is also called Dan Sullivan and he's not allowed

(54:21):
to run. And I wonder if we could fish that
out in do you have the same name as someone
famous as that caused you a hassle? I don't know
what that name would be you might be called. I
can't think you might be called. What's a common, well
known name that you might be called. I don't know
what the answer is, by the way, So you want
to talk about that, as well as naming after days

(54:43):
and days of the week and seasons and months. Autumn?
Would it be wrong to be called Autumn? So be
in touch. And if there is something else you want
to mention, oh, eight hundred and eighty. Not often I
get told off not saying the name enough, Marcus. Names
are arbitrary, week and you scarlet but not red, lilac
and lavender, but not mauve, indigo or purple, but emerald,

(55:05):
seph and ruby. What about naming after a color? If
good text? Someone says in the USA, autumn would be
fall not such a great name. Ah, I know three girls, Opal, Ruby,
and Perl, all sisters of all good texts. I always
like to harvest a new mine and new vain and

(55:28):
harvest the names or the calls. Good evening, Jeffrey, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 11 (55:35):
Hello Marcus, we've talked before. Congratulations on your award again.
Hey we're talking about Greggs and Domed little known fat.
They subcontracted their the picking of their spices that Greggs

(55:55):
used to you know, pet, tumoric, white pepper, all those
sort of things, and was actually subcontracted to a sheltered
workshop hillside Road called Cargole Enterprises Wow and yeah, and
they did all sorts of It was a sheltered workshop.

(56:18):
They had a wood area where they made pellets, wooden pellets.
They had a screen writing area where they did screen writing.
But in the main area they had just where people
were given jobs to do. And in the center of it,

(56:40):
and I'm talking quite a large enterprise. I'm suggesting probably
sixty people something right there. And I had my business
and I used to subcontract to them and not me personally.
But Griggs had what they called this spice room. And
in the middle of the of the complex. It was

(57:05):
a sealed room where the people would be in there
and they have their hats on and their masks and
all that sort of thing, and they were measuring out
all the spices. So you know, if you bought a
pack of Gregs or spice or curry or something like that,

(57:28):
it was measured by hand and weighed by these very
special people. And the reason Gregs used them is because
they were so accurate and unfortunately, I don't want to
get political here, but Sue Brett Bradford meaning well decided that,

(57:50):
you know, a minimum wage had to be x amount
and all these people lost their jobs and then it
all went automated and went to Auckland.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
Because I think Gregs still do spices, don't they spicies
lessons and those square boxes. Most of my are griggs,
aren't they.

Speaker 14 (58:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
And now it's Sarah, but I don't even know where
all that's been done. It's probably done overseas, now, is it.

Speaker 11 (58:15):
No, No, it's just it's automat as an Aukland now.
But it was originally done by hand by these people
in this room in a place called Cargo's Enterprises Interned.
I used to witness it, and I've got to say this, Marcus,
what was fantastic? These special I'll say special needs people,

(58:37):
but they're special people. The reason was I watched them,
and I watched one guy and he was putting paprika
into one of those cans, and he measured it and
he put it down on the scale and then he
picked it up and he put a little bit more
than you know, and and Griggs knew that every single

(58:59):
box was one hundred percent perfect.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
You know that's effy think is so much nineteen to
ten because there is a Scottish football with my name,
makes hiding on the inset easier. Wouldn't be good if
I as a real estate agent for a good Marcus.
My great uncle was Calvin Thompson from Mattapurdi Bay in Northland.
His great uncle was the same name of the person

(59:22):
invented the Calvinator. We had a train guard by the

the Consteborory in the early hours and took some convincing

It was his real name, Marcus. My grandmother's name was June,
and my granddaughter's name is Ruby Chairs. Marcus wouldn't hear

can no longer call a child Fenny, which is true.

(01:01:33):
The last Fanny was in two thousand and nine, and

Hello Peters, Marcus.

Speaker 18 (01:01:43):
Welcome here the mark have property. I went to the.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
What creep topic? Yeah, creep our topic creep yep, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 18 (01:01:54):
I basically you've already heard about it here in TSB
TSB bank here hearts trying to merge them yep. I
went to a meeting tonight regarding they had a couple
of meetings before. Was the first time I could go
to this meeting tonight. I'm pleased I went to it.
And it's just like the government urgency are pushing all
these things through and it's sort of the same thing here.

(01:02:16):
It's been one hundred and seventy five years in the
TSB bank that tink it was founded. Now you get
these the so called Heartlet Bank, and I went to
it today tonight and I didn't like the proposal. There
is a petition going. I'm just hoping people will sign
that petition. So the more people that sign that petition,
the better to stop it from going ahead, because they don't.

(01:02:37):
They only give us about thirty days time for they
head about the use that just about six months ago, this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
Was going down bank bank with them, pete I do.

Speaker 18 (01:02:46):
I bought my house with them. It's been a community
bank and they give a whole lot of money to
the community for schools and things, and that was brought
up tonight with them. Maybe they're giving a little bit
too much, so maybe they should maybe cut back a
bit on that, but still retain our bank, because once
we lose it, it's gone. It's just going to be
anothering monopoly take over like it was in two thousand.

(01:03:09):
In ninety eighty six when there was other bank asa
B where they were, they all moved and they're all
gone now if you lose this bank and it's good
for our province, you know, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
I don't know. People talk about scales of banks that
need to be bigger, and I think, and they're going
to fall over, But there must be the directors of
the TSP have agreed to do it right now.

Speaker 18 (01:03:28):
It's a trustees.

Speaker 16 (01:03:29):
I have this.

Speaker 18 (01:03:31):
I learned about it tonight. We years bank. Some of
the old bank bank managers there tonight as well. Quite
interesting they were. They are the good old bank managers.
They were and when it was TSB they had, you said,
all the trustees they used to be locally so luckily
local people. What they're doing now because of this financial

(01:03:51):
terms is they don't like it when there's too many
local people being on these trustees. But what's the point
in having aliens? I call them from out of town
and know it's nothing about our bank. Have you got
trustees that you can trust? I think that the ones
we want his trustees for our own bank.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Who was the main person that spoke.

Speaker 18 (01:04:12):
Ah, I won't mention any names.

Speaker 14 (01:04:14):
Why not.

Speaker 18 (01:04:15):
Ol Maya was there and he doesn't want to close
Old Max and I don't want to get too involved.
But it's still going through a little bit of process now.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
But who was there, you can't talk about who was
there needs to be secret.

Speaker 18 (01:04:29):
Oh it's not a secret. Understand he was there. Didn't
have to be there. He's one of these trustees. And
I didn't really want I don't really want to go.
He didn't have to be there, but he did because
he wants to sort of. He was quite brave the front.
I didn't have to be there. So I don't want
any want to name him as a person because I
think he actually said a lot of things to night.
He probably wouldn't have known that he wasn't there, So
I don't want to burn him because of what he

(01:04:51):
was sort of trying to be helpful to the people
that came to the meeting. He gave me a bit cautious.
Don't want to burn someone that is trying to help
you out and try to give me some advice as well,
which he didn't participate.

Speaker 3 (01:05:02):
You know, did you talk?

Speaker 18 (01:05:03):
Yeah, basically, I just got up and I just said,
now we've been here, you know, the bank's been here
for years and years. Once it's gone, it's gone, you know,
And it just happens over and over again, and it's
a good bank, you know, it's what they're looking at now.
The bank is small banks, they don't make the only
make about four or five percent and to be in
the real like OHI banks are making an eleven or

(01:05:24):
food in so we can't compete with them. This TSB
bank goes or mergers with this Heartland Bank basically behind
the shares of the shareholder's base, it's going to be
like ten or twenty percent partly owned by Australians too,
or they can get the big finger Parazon and soon
they've got enough of them in this country, the Australians
upping that dot.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Did you get a round of applause when you spoke.

Speaker 11 (01:05:44):
Pete, Yeah, I did.

Speaker 18 (01:05:45):
I thought it not a bigger Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
I reckon you would too. I reckon you would have
spoken well about that because you because you're following your
heart and it's about passion nine to ten. Yeah, I don't.
I look, I don't know if banks tes B bank goodness,
I think they're going to go for a bigger beg.
You've got to be bigger these daisy anyway. I thinks
one of those things they get patiate about and the
necky so good on them. They have a good meat
flick flip at something started on a Thursday, and I'll

(01:06:08):
get to a meeting or get racked up. Great comment, Marcus.
Passion goes a long way, Marcus, I tell my mass
students about the calendar October shop of the eighth November
should be the ninth decebit should be the tenth month.
Oh yes, that's right, thank you. The real original RaRo
orange juice for from Rara Tong. We used to bring
down it on the government vessel Moana Roha in the sixties.

(01:06:31):
I was on another vesl of the eighties and we
carried bananas, black catracorn, the orange juice, then a vague
recollection of the RaRo orange trees being destroyed by a
hurricane or disease or something. The boy's name Donald has
fallen off a cliff and popularity something like six hundred
out of twenty thousand. My English bride's aunts were Daisy

(01:06:54):
Rose and Iris love that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Do do do do?

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
Oh, That's what I's going to tell you too about
any breaking news we've got tonight, and are they auk
Arbor Bridge is at the risk of closure tomorrow strong winds.
Ever since the truck went into the side of it,
it hasn't been as robust, and they close It used
to be one twenty now it's ninety five. That could
close tomorrow. Put an attention on your morning commute, won't it.

(01:07:23):
I don't know what more I can say about that,
but yeah, that could be problematic. The situation Venezuela sounds very,
very dire with that quake. There's an estimation of a
likelihood of over ten thousand deaths. That's the USGS, which
I presumes the United States Geotechnical Science Groups. So that's

(01:07:45):
a situation there ten times bigger than christ Jurge. I
don't know what Venezuela's worst quake has been before. Now
I don't know if it's quake prone. But if you're
getting quakes, you've pretty much always had quakes. A I'll
tell you what that is if I've got time.

Speaker 7 (01:08:01):
I have got time.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Oh no, they haven't. Actually, I'm looking at deaths. I've
gone straight to depths. There was a quake in eighteen
twelve where twenty thousand died, and that's the worst one.
So in the last one hundred years there haven't been
well ninety nine. There was one nineteen sixty seven. They
lost three hundred people with a quake. So this would
look like it's pretty much going to be the worst
of all of their quakes. But it will be. It'll

(01:08:25):
lot so much to be the quake, but it'll be
the structures of their buildings.

Speaker 13 (01:08:31):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
So, I think the thing about RaRo right. There was
tin juice called RaRo and then there was sachet drink
called RaRo. Have I got that right? And I think
the tin juice was made from oranges and raratongue. I
think it was a government scheme. They set up orchards
there and planted orange groves and harvest them those productions.

(01:08:54):
I think it was an AID projector I suppose when
probably Ratan got their independence. But there's also the Greggs
in Dunedan made the rarow fruit sachets. And speaking about sachets,
how do we feel about coffee coffee in sachets as

(01:09:15):
that progress? Or is that the devil's drink? Ah? Marcus,
I'm working north of this week and there I drove
up to Katai and back down to Kitty Kitty. Oh
my gosh, some wild winds and Kaitai this afternoon. I
know a violet in May and April and a June.
Wonderful ladies. Michael Marcus, my grandfather worked in the railroad
juice coming Rarow Tongue back in the seventies, shut down

(01:09:38):
and derelict. These days I was always slightly fascinated about
that were strong brand RaRo juice and those steel cans
a bit like the fresh Up. You had to kind
of dent the tin, put holes in the top of
the tin, tap it in a RaRo, pull the goodness out.
Great things not so much anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:10:02):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
A lot's going on tonight people. If you want to
come and join the discussion of the fray, well, welcome
to it. Looks like the eels have just gone over
across the South's four twelve kick to come. They'll get
it right under the post. So you might be a
bit of a spring back in this one.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
If talking about if you're talking about what's it like
to be named after a day of the week, or
a month of the year or a season. Is the
kind of name you want? Do you want to be
called November or June, or Earth or Autumn? Not many
people named after star signs are they can't think of anyone.
I don't know why. That's interesting thing. He thinks that
you could be named after after I suppose Leo is

(01:10:40):
the name Virgo? Was it one of the Thunderpool thunderbirds
called Virgo? You might know about that?

Speaker 11 (01:10:47):
Was it Virgo?

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
You want to be called Pisces? Would you?

Speaker 16 (01:10:52):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
If there's other stuff you want to mention tonight, you
might want to talk about their TSP bank. I think
it's a bit niche for me, but you can imagine
them getting in the hall full of anger and steam
and jeep, it's agreement. We've suffered enough. We've suffered enough.
I guess it's the loss of autonomy. We want you
Plymouth decisions made in New Plymouth. Advertise on the TV

(01:11:17):
I think is tesby banks all around the country. I
think now, aham, I'm looking for a strong start to
the third hour. I haven't got it yet. That's fine,
we'll get something going along tonight. Marcus, my mother in
law is called June and her late sister is called May.
My late neighbor was called Pearl. I knew a Peter Jackson,
who is a network specialist. Marcus is a steam engine

(01:11:38):
a small carriage and a short length of track behind
the airport and rara tongue. It hasn't been fired up
for years, think you ken, Oh yeah, there we go. Now,
what else do you want to talk about? Don't let
me just go look at the some of the other
topics I've jotted down. It is handshake day. We were
on handshakes. I don't like a high five. I like
a fist pump. I'm seeing those more and more. I

(01:12:00):
think they're good. I think you always feel quite satisfying
a quick little fist pump. Big fan of that. This
day in two and nine, two well known people died,
Fara Force and Michael Jackson. It was fair Force, it
was youngxious sixty two. So yes, come on. Oh there's
been a survey out about the world's top music arenas,

(01:12:21):
and Spark Arena is in the top twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
People seem to love that, don't they. There's always good
No one's complained about the sound, so that's good. Good
on your Spark. I wish it wasn't called Spark Arena,
but you've always got to go for naming right stage.
There's more money than that. And the snow this morning
came in very quickly, so there's good shots of it
up there highways at Ormaco and someone said it started

(01:12:47):
to hokitik. I don't believe that's to be true. I
seeing no proof of that. Oh that's louder where they've
got the snow came in quickly. That's where it's got
the telescope Naseby or not late Naseby. What's that synt
that looks nice and Bethan's looks good, but a snow
nice stuff, that's what what Peter, it's Marcus, Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:13:08):
We named our oldest daughter Winter so and spelt Winter
was an eye purely because it was a really rainy
and cold night and everything which was born like it.
I like it a lot. Her uncle and her mum
was throwing around names like stormy and storm for me,

(01:13:29):
and at my age that sort of brought up not
that many positive connotations, so it was like and then
I just thought Winter, so I claimed that that was
my claim to fame when it come to the kids
was here and we we've actually met over the past
twenty five years. I think we've only ever met two Winters,

(01:13:50):
and one was spelt with a y. And the other
one was a lady who had like a hair dressing salon,
and yeah, I did that sort of thing, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
The tongue.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
All right, so Winter's twenty five. Yep, it's good name.
And I pushback, No, yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:14:09):
Generally like people go, oh, that's an unusual name. But
then yet she just and then well why did they name?
And she kind of always gives people that look like
why do you think they name to be that? But
which is a little bit unfair, I guess, but like, yeah,
they Yeah, she's never really gotten pootsback.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
She's July.

Speaker 10 (01:14:29):
Yes, her birthday was Yeah, not too far away actually,
so yeah, July the eighth.

Speaker 3 (01:14:39):
Does it get shortened Winny?

Speaker 10 (01:14:41):
No, it never has in it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
Some names don't.

Speaker 10 (01:14:45):
Her grandfather used to. Yeah, he used to call it,
but that was about us, but yeah, but no, everyone else,
it's just always winter because you hear a.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
Lot of summers and a lot of you don't ever
hear a spring, but you hear a lot of summers
and a lot of autumns. But I've never heard of
a winter.

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
I knew it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
I don't think you call it kids wrong, because said
I think that I think that would work.

Speaker 10 (01:15:09):
But it was kind of no. Yeah, and her sister
is Shelby. The second youngest girl was Shelby. Believe we
had a Mustang at the time. I think, not as
Shelby Mustang, but not a Shelby Mustang. And yeah, so
her mom was like, I'd like to name miss Shelby,
and I go, well, yeah, okay, I've got nothing against that.
It's like, yeah, just as a quick side, our son

(01:15:32):
has named Liam his grandfather because Liam was the firstborn
grandchild or great grandchild. His grandfather, who was right into
like his multi heritage and stuff, was sort of and
I don't correct me if I'm wrong, but he was
like he needs to be named after me Widhomo and everything,
and everybody was on my case and I was. My
mom was kind of totally opposite because she's Scottish and

(01:15:54):
she's like, you name your son whatever you want, and
I was kind of suck in a hard place. So
I was like Liam. And at the time I think
it was the most popular boy's name in the world,
and I like the name any way. I was like Liam,
and when people ask him he's like, oh, yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
Irish for there aren't many There aren't many car names.
For boys, it's pretty much only Shelby, and for girls
it's Mercedes, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:16:20):
I wasn't going to go down the Mercedes route. Look
at my age. I kind of felt that it's sort
of and I know it sounds wrong, but it just
to me, it gives like a kind of a cheap,
sort of, I don't know, connotation towards the girls.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Oh yeah, Well, of course Chappelle's sister was called me.
Do you don't remember Chappelle kind of she took the
boogie board full of marijuana into BALI that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Her sister was famously called Mercedes. It always seemed a
bit sort of Yeah, there was Chappelle and Mercedes. So
I think that that family ruined those names forever because

(01:16:56):
they were pretty tricky girls, those two.

Speaker 10 (01:17:00):
Yeah, And I wonder if there's just a generational feeling,
because like I'm in my sister's now, so you know,
names sort of like that, Like, I don't know, I
probably could have gone pause. I've met quite a few
boys named Holden and Ford, the Harleys.

Speaker 3 (01:17:14):
A lot of Harley's are that's right, yep.

Speaker 10 (01:17:17):
And I've met senators. I've met an attorney, and I
was sort of like, that's kind of different, but okay,
each to their own.

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
Quite like themed first names. Yeah, okay, oh Winter Winter.

Speaker 10 (01:17:31):
But yeah, and she's only got unlike your sister have
a plethora of middle names, she only has one middle name,
and so yeah, it all seems to roll off the tongue.
Pretty good.

where she is. Takes me two or three minutes to
walk over there, and I read to her, and I
take a little dram or two of whiskey over with me,
and I have my whiskey, and we watched The Chase together,
and I come home and fry up some sausages and

(01:19:56):
meshed potatoes, and yeah, like life's ticking over all right.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
What do you read to her? Out of interest? John A.

I don't know.

Speaker 13 (01:20:28):
I just read it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:30):
It sounds like she said that sounds like you hit
the jackpot with you.

Speaker 13 (01:20:34):
Oh well, I'll be weather for sixty one years. I
can't be bothered changing now.

Speaker 3 (01:20:45):

Looks good, good good, Yeah, looks really good. Hey, you
ever asked why she's called cog.

Speaker 5 (01:21:04):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:21:04):
She her sister are always called a cook, and I
sort of picked up on it. But I suppose my
favorite neighbors chock. I call her chock, but Heather heither
when she annoys.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
Me, she's allowed to, of course she is.

Speaker 15 (01:21:29):
No.

Speaker 13 (01:21:30):
I love her daily good. It will till the day
I die.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
Good on you, Okay. So anyway, next time you see her,
ask you why she's called cook? John, There we go
these a nice inside, into the into the village. The
villages are delightful being touched one of his Marcus Welcome,
hddle twelve. Catch you a bit. I'll find it's all
very interesting about names and spices, And because spices are

(01:21:56):
a good thing to name yourself after, aren't they? Well,
flowers are calling yourself flowers like Arneka. That work's the
I think it's a borage? Is it a borrow? Good evening, Rosalie,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:22:08):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:22:11):
Yeah, I'd like to tell you I've got two great granddaughters.
One is called Winter Rain r e I n wow.
And the other one is Aurora Rose. A couple of
beautiful girls, two sisters.

Speaker 11 (01:22:26):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Well, it's a funny thing you should say that, because
with our first born I was gonna call her November Rain,
oh right, but it wasn't a good It was a
boy unfortunately, fortunately. And then the second one was no
good either. So yes, so I like Winter Rain. Yeah,
it's got a nice cadence to I like it a lot.

(01:22:47):
And the other one Aurora Rose, yes wow, but nothing
not born during the Aurora or anything like that.

Speaker 10 (01:22:54):
Just they like the name, just the like the name.

Speaker 16 (01:22:57):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 15 (01:22:59):
And then I've got another one called Isla Rose.

Speaker 20 (01:23:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
That's yeah. So she's Winter Rain and it's it's not
it's not rain or Rain, it's Ei n is it?

Speaker 7 (01:23:11):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
Yes, I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
Okay, thank you for that, Rosie. Very good seasonal names
we are talking and theme names. I'm liking this a lot.
Of it, And what about when you're called something completely different?
Seemed to be an English kind of a blue blood
thing to do, wasn't it give you a sort of kids'
names and call them something something like some something that
made to give your names. I don't even know what
that's about. But yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, November rain,

(01:23:35):
yeah and yeah. But of course people say nothing lasts
forever too. I guess even cold November rain, that would
be the trouble if you left her out? Well was
it to be anyway? Forty four degrees in France. Hundreds
of deaths across Europe include a UK woman at a

(01:23:55):
campsite and a child in a car. The classic shot
of people bathing in the fountains under the shadow of
the Eiffel Tower. You shouldn't want to be camping and
heat like that, because you tend to get so hot
when sun's up. There's a situation, so yeah, very very
very hot. There's shots of all the apartments in Paris

(01:24:19):
with kind of those silver emergency blankets that you take
to the outdoors hanging from the windows to keep the
heat out. Unbelievable, but believe it, it's happening. Marcus. People
scoff about Mercedes. But the name is Spanish for Grace,
and it has been around longer than the car. I
think people only would scoff at it because of Chappelle

(01:24:41):
and Mercedes. And it feels did Tyson Fury call his
kids Mercedes? I feel it's I mean not not there's
anything wrong with Tyson Fury. I guess I don't know.
I don't know who is a well known Mercedes. Why
would it be Spanish?

Speaker 7 (01:24:58):
For God?

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
I could see what it's a different language, a Spanish
female name, one of the Roman Catholic titles of the
Virgin Mary. Yes, that's what we are talking about tonight,
amongst other stuff. And if you want to joy, Oh
by the way, south's the rabbitos twelve six over Paramatta.

(01:25:19):
That's three minutes left of the first half. I'll be
here till midnight. Roman will be along at twelve. We're
talking about names and themed names, days of the week, seasons,
months of the year, cars, cities, all that stuff. So, yes,
that's the situation. If you want to talk about these things,

(01:25:42):
get in touch. Oh by the way, big protest at
White Tucky today about rates. There was a signature with
five thousand signatures. I don't think that many had turned
up to the protest, but yeah, it was all in
the news tonight. But it's twenty nine to eleven. If
you want to partake in these discussions, these other stuff

(01:26:04):
you want to talk about. Don't have a problem that,
don't have a problem with it, but be in touch
if you can. There's something else you want to talk about. Yeah,
I don't know what's happened in the football. I know
now we are working out a lot of the Some
of the teams have played three matches. We've only played two.
I know that it's not looking good for Scotland because

(01:26:27):
there's eighth there's eight third place slots, so Dan, how
many groups are there? Ah, there's twelve groups and eight
so two thirds of the third place teams get in
and that would be on points and then goal difference.

(01:26:47):
I suppose that'd be the way I work, wouldn't it.
But the Scottish coach on interview seems he seems heartbroken
because the fans were so good all those bagpipes. So yeah,
so I can tell you a bit more about this.
This will affect you in the sweep. So the third
I've got to accept some cookies, always accept cookies. The

(01:27:09):
third place teams Bosnia our first one one, drew one
lost one, then Sweden, then Croatia, then Korean Republic. That's
the that's North Korea, is it?

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
Yeah? I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:27:24):
Then Algeria, then Paraguay, then Scotland and Kabo Verde. Then
below that Belgium, who we play, Congo, Ecuador and Senegal.
So I don't know what the chances are for us,
but other results need to go away, and all sorts
of needs just to carry on. Twenty six to eleven, Hello, Lana,
it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:27:43):
Oh hi Marcus, Marcus. I knew a guy whose two
daughters record Summarine and Autumn Breeze.

Speaker 2 (01:27:50):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (01:27:51):
Wow, my granddaughter has a winter and a summer as
her friends.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
And do they get on.

Speaker 20 (01:28:00):
Yeah, they're all friends together. And I've mosed some very
famous people. Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor. I went to school
with the Marilyn Monroe. She hated her name, she hated it.
And I worked with Peter Snell and John Walker.

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
Goodness, I like all of that. Okay, And that's that's
the Are you were you? And were you in what's sodurcing?
Were you mental health, not with babies. I thought you
might meet with babies. I thought you're not a midwife.
Not that okay?

Speaker 20 (01:28:38):
You like I like looking at the screen says coming.
And the names today like beautiful Blossom or chaos.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Uh.

Speaker 20 (01:28:53):
There was someone the other day in the middle name
was exclusive A little secret.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (01:29:01):
Just there's some weird days out there.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
Not thanks so much, Marcus. Can you ask if anyone's
been through the gorge on statehway through in the last hour.
I have an idea that it's closed again. I read
today it was nice to hear from your roops. I
heard it today it was closed. Anyone come through Aloquino
Gorge people. I don't know what what ka kata he says,
but if you come through the last half, let us know.

(01:29:25):
I think Reuben might have a website. I think that's
what he's probably looking for that for. But if you've
got some information about that, yeah, Hayway three, it was.
They've got to sort that out, don't they really important?
For I mean for me, that's more important than the
TSB bank, I mean bank Shmanks, I mean JEPS Creeper
is there everywhere now. But what is more important is
to be able to get to your province. So yeah,

(01:29:46):
I feel strongly about that. I've changed the website again
kind of and forward. I'm looking for just checking out
through there, if you do know, through the gorge of
it to open the last half hour twenty four to eleven,
we've changed the place I click and now it's not
now I'm over clicking. Anyway, let's take a break. We
have come to that stage in the evening show where

(01:30:08):
we have some options for you to talk on air.
If that's taking your fancy, if that's something you'd like
to do. Coffee, coffee and sachets? Is that a coffee crime?
Is that the Devil's drink? Cake tins with bottoms that
come out? Is that a good thing. I'm just asking
these questions. I'm just asking questions. If you can talk
about this god, Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten

(01:30:29):
eighty text nine two nine two anything goes hit till
twelve and themed names naming after you know, seasons or
months or people. Aren't naming people out of time of
the day, are they?

Speaker 14 (01:30:43):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:30:44):
I don't anyone called evening or morning or midday. No,
that's not really a thing, is it?

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
Well, twenty tw eleven are scoring the rugby halftime twelve
six to the Rabbidos. That's over the eels. Marcus and
married couple of tom Renui, Rain and Snow. I called
my daughter Eilish. My husband wasn't happy about the different name.
She had a beautiful ready hear in blue eyes, thirty
two years old and suits her name. My granddaughter is Holly,

(01:31:12):
born the twenty sixth of December. Oh like Holly and
the Ivy, it's a Holly.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
I didn't call her Mistletoe. This text says people scoff
about Mercedes, but the name is Spanish for Grace. It
has been around along in the car. What if that
person is Mercedes. I just thought about that. Names after cars.
When my kids were at Kendy, two boys were called
Holden and Morris. Probably playing kids around now called Tessa.
Would that be right? Marcus went through the gorge half

(01:31:39):
an hour ago. It's still opened. Us heading south towards
de Plymouth and I'm now at Mount Messenger, so it's open.
Rooms go for Gold. The highway three off and on
close since April the eighteenth. Got to stop go. Situation
there I think is always good when a couple marry,
aren't they when sort of winter becomes summer, you know,
with different surnames. Always fun for the telegrams that they

(01:32:00):
still have telegrams at weddings. I haven't been to a
wedding for a while. What the next wedding be? Don't
think I've been to a wedding for about six years.
People still getting married? Oh well, just thought of that.
Interesting things to think of sometimes. Yes, now you might
want toalk aout the World Cup just quickly. Also, Belgium

(01:32:20):
should threst? I mean, I hope they don't. I certainly
hope that we get through. It'll be tremendously exciting. But
the good news is the woman who and I hate
to say this, but she looks lovely in her photos
with a lovely baby, and the baby's called August. It's
uppose start talking about names after, But she is out
of critical care, awake and alert, and is able to

(01:32:40):
speak with her family and her medical team. So she's
got to see her child. Because two weeks since the
shark took her, I think she lost an arm multiple surgeries,
including an arm amputation. That'd be the whole arm, wouldn't it. Otherwise?
He just wants hit a foe arm operat would that
be right?

Speaker 7 (01:32:58):
I can't.

Speaker 14 (01:32:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
And that's the thing too, because of course too, they'll
be huge interest when she gets out to because everyone
wants the story. Oh well, Marcus, can you ask that text?
If Morris is still a minor? Very good. I've always
liked Dawn as a girl's name, which is part of
the day cheers. Dawn's always good. I'll crack at Dawn

(01:33:21):
first thing in the morning. Dawn's a great name.

Speaker 18 (01:33:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
My sister's at small rural school. Three sisters a small
ryal school. The seventies, April, May and June is Morris
is a minor. Dawn Dawn, Dawn, Dawn, Dawn, Delta dorn.
I always liked what a great song that was? Could
it be a faded Rose from days gone by? I
reckon there'd be a karaoke classic, wouldn't it even I'd

(01:33:44):
probably be tempting to give that a karaoke and I'm
not a great karaoke person, but it wouldn't be surprised
to know. I'm shocking who sang Delta? Helen't Ready always
begging the seventies town Ready wasn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:33:59):
Always.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
I think it's about them. It's about the Mississippi Delta.
I presume it is. Actually, wouldn't mind mind knowing more
about Delta Dawn. What was it about? What is the
plot of Delta Dorn wouldn't mind knowing a bit more
about that anyway, there's just me topic topic spreading. When

(01:34:22):
you start talking about mentioning the sky, that's a bit spooky,
isn't it. That's my take on that one. Now del
to Dawn. What's that flower you've got? Then we just
sit up and get slightly more peppy for this final
I'm getting ready for the last hour. People. Coffee is
kicking in, ready for the hour of power. And what

(01:34:42):
happened this bad weather? It seems like it's all right.
So there's no snow anywhere still, is there? It seemed
to have melted quite quickly. Let me just see the
other news, only their websites. I need to tell you
about do do Do Do, Do Do do do no
nothing more for your people. I think we are up
to date. I think I've given you all the news
that you should have at this time of the night.
I'm not quite sure how Trump's pool is going. The

(01:35:04):
ol guy Paul. Don't know what's going to happen for
America's two and fifty indivisial there's big plans or not,
because that's only a week away, isn't it. That's next Saturday.
Oil prices have fallen to pre Iran war levels as
more tankers exit the Strait of Jomus. It's good news
and agony for Scotland. I would have liked them have

(01:35:26):
done well with all their fans, the Tartan Army. They
were fantastic. So enough for me renting, but be in
touch if you want to talk about this or anything else.
An article on how Britain fell in love with canned
cocktails A canned cocktails? Any good? Does the job? I suppose?
Would you drink a margarita and a tin? Would you

(01:35:47):
drink a grapefruit poalomer in a can? Would you eat
a pinocolada? Why wouldn't you make sense? If it does
the job? Would never problem? Second half about to get
in the Rugby League twelve six Marcus, here's a sex
of the names from the primary school I worked in
Lyrical Pride Stone, New Bonusich any update of update and

(01:36:08):
the third cricket Test score forty five without loss from
their first ten overs used in one that toss opted
to bat first. Now, what I want to tell you
to as important is that Henry met Henry and Glenn
Phillips are out. Met Henry due to a carp injury,
Glenn Phillips due to a side strain injury. Someone to

(01:36:30):
speak to the broken curfew. But that was said without
and that's sometimes how cricket works. But I don't know
if that's the case or not. I don't know who
the names have called in for that match, but I'll
keep you updated on that tonight. I can do that, Marcus,
my name is Margharita Rose. It might be Margarita Rose a,
but I think it's Margarita Rose. There's no great great homlot.

(01:36:54):
My mother must have thought I looked like a flower.
Both names are flowers. Margarita as a daisy. I have
kiras from acc One told my GP I had not
taken my tablets. I had been in hospital the Tabbits
for a blister peck. I've heard people called Merlin, Cinnamon,
and Paisley. I remember tag At. The lead character's first
name was Endeavor because his dad was fascinated by James cock,

(01:37:16):
can we go hittle twelve?

Speaker 14 (01:37:18):
Proove?

Speaker 3 (01:37:19):
Well, I feel I'm fighting you in the cold tonight.
It's worth getting out of the from under the donner
and giving me a holler. I don't know what other
stuff that you feel that you would like to talk
about tonight, but that's a right I will. I've enjoyed
talking about names and themed names. Yeah, naming after months

(01:37:42):
and stuff like that, So that's kind of what we're
about tonight, Like the passion around names. I guess a
lot of people named after flowers and trees, aren't they?
Like Willow and Hazel in gems. I'm not quite sure
about names that have come after popular TV. What was
that woman called in Hunger Games? Catness? Or is it

(01:38:03):
that was quite a good name? What if that caught on?
I think Wendy is quite a famous name because Wendy
wasn't a name. Wendy was an invented name until quite recently.
Am I right about that? Some names are more recent
than you think they are. Yes, So Wendy wasn't a
name until J. M. Barry wrote Peter Pan and Wendy

(01:38:25):
was a working over of friend or we Wendy, so
it went friend Friendy Wendy, that's a name from a
book that then became a big namer. But like Catnus
and I think there's a name from Yeah, that might
be a bit of an interesting road to go down tonight.
Invented names for TV or literature that became common. Let

(01:38:50):
me do some investigation. Yeah, that's why I'm looking about names.
Scarlett was first used for Scarlett O'Hara and Gone with
the Wind. Harper was from the Keller Monckenberg Keller. Mocking Bird,
once a surname, became first dame after Killer Mockeybird's author
happily redefined its image. Well, that's interesting. Wendy was and

(01:39:15):
Vanessa funny enough, as a from Jonathan Swift. He had
a friend called Esther van Mooring and combine those to
make it Vanessa. So all these are made up names
that kind of became big. Suddenly, there we go. There's
a bit of that from me to you. There was
another one that I saw then that I've just lot.

Speaker 2 (01:39:34):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:39:35):
Arwin and Attochus, I think, and Catnus are all from literature.
Arwin's Lord of the Rings, isn't it? Am I right there?
I'm pretty sure I'm right Catnus is from Hunger Games,
Atticus is from Killer Mockingbird?

Speaker 8 (01:39:49):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
But do you want to talk in this vein or
something different as well too. I'm up for the discussion
the next hour. Sixteen twelve souths over Paramatta. And that's
the way of the world tonight, the World Cups getting
to that stage now were there knowing a lot of
the teams that will go through touch will go where
the Scotland will continue to go on in the tournament.

(01:40:14):
But a lot of that will all be resolved after
this weekend, I would think. But I was interested to
talk about Greggs coffee too because I thought I always thought, actually,
of all the coffees in the seventies the eighties, the
Auditston coffees, Griggs was the best. But then I guess
Makona came along and could of took over the high brand,
didn't it. But Greg's always had quite a classy reputation
red ribbon roast. I can't think what the jingle was,

(01:40:36):
good Evening, Trevor, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:40:39):
Great names a English cricketer. It's called Jack Russell.

Speaker 3 (01:40:46):
Of course he was, That's right, and you'd know I
mean you would, was it?

Speaker 14 (01:40:50):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
But was his name Jack or was that the nickname?
Because his surname was Russell? I wonder that was his name?

Speaker 5 (01:40:56):
Well, and the.

Speaker 10 (01:40:58):
Rugby player, the half back for England hostin heally that's right?

Speaker 3 (01:41:02):
Or always six sticks out, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:41:05):
Yeah, yeah, so they must have known. They must have
known about that when they named him.

Speaker 12 (01:41:11):
Yeah, you would think so.

Speaker 3 (01:41:12):
Would you appreciate that, Trevor?

Speaker 8 (01:41:15):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:41:15):
I forgot about Jack Russell. He he's good too, wouldn't he. Mike,
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:41:21):
Oh Marcus Sowe's changed subjectable?

Speaker 3 (01:41:24):
Oh god, well done. Thank you for that too. We
probably needed it.

Speaker 11 (01:41:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
I've been dairy farming for about forty years now and
the technology and dairy farming has just gone crazy. Do
you know anything about the color as they put on
my count? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:41:40):
I'm following that. I think is it galahers are all
involved without that technology because it's.

Speaker 2 (01:41:46):
Yeah, yeah, they have a hole to colors and you
don't need to put a food top. You just get
out line and your paddick and draw a line across
your phone and that's just for yourself grade.

Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
And I heard a farmer saying they don't even need
a shock to get it to work. It just they
just seem to know straight away. Would that be right?

Speaker 9 (01:42:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
And it tells the cows that they have a latch
on the gate, and it tells the cows of them
to come to the shed.

Speaker 3 (01:42:13):
But would the cows get would the cows get a
warning before they get the jolt?

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
I don't think they get a job? Not a hundred
seeds and how it actually works?

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
No, I just thought to be have to be a show.
But what's what's the cost per qulody?

Speaker 7 (01:42:28):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:42:29):
But you can't buy them? You rent them? Ah smart, Yeah,
and it's really expensive. But like it takes away one
or two staff members straight away. That takes them out
of the system. Like I'm them south then, and we
do a lot of cropping down here, and all you've
got to do is go down and open your bails,

(01:42:49):
put your bale feed around, draw a line across how
far up you want them to have the crop, and
walk away. They seem fed for to day.

Speaker 3 (01:42:57):
So you've got your laptop. Are you doing that on
your laptop?

Speaker 9 (01:43:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):
Or even on your phone? Yeah. Yeah, it's sort of
little and look like a phone there.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
So when you say it's going to save one or
two jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
Is that a good one?

Speaker 5 (01:43:12):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
Because normally you'd put out, you'd put a hot light
across the paddock to keep them out of the whole
panic of feed. Is that what you what would the
people normally be doing?

Speaker 2 (01:43:21):
And you start members to go down there four in
the morning or whatever and get all the cows up,
and it's just taking all the labor out of the picture. Yeah,
it's it's one and one way it's good, but in
another way it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
It's not good for the fences, is it because they're
they're a breed of people.

Speaker 10 (01:43:41):
I quite like.

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
Yeah, yeah, when I'm talking fences like electric fences, we
normally go along with what you're real and put yourself.

Speaker 5 (01:43:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:43:51):
But but before long, before long, farms won't even have
proper fences. Well they won't.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Need them, No, no, exactly.

Speaker 9 (01:43:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:43:58):
And then it tells tells you when when the cows
coming on the heat, and it automatically drafts them and
just does even Do.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
You think it's been a pretty do you think it's
been a pretty dry autumn and winter.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
Mat down here?

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
I think I think I could almost I could almost
drive at the top of my farm and I can
never do that in the winter. But there's just not
the puddles. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got my farms just
are just at Green Hills. Well not a farm, it's
twenty acres. But that's it's just it's just not we
like it has been the other years. It's been really dry.

(01:44:33):
I thought, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's pretty good
dairy country. There isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
I'm just seeing now just I got of milk in
the morning, but just yeah, a little bit of milk
in and m hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
What time you up?

Speaker 5 (01:44:50):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:44:50):
Get up? And us three.

Speaker 3 (01:44:53):
You've missed your you missed your bed time. Remember this
four hours already.

Speaker 2 (01:44:58):
That's a problem with being too we retired. You go
to sleep during the day.

Speaker 3 (01:45:02):
Yeah, that's your problem, that's your problem. Love your talk, Mike,
Thank you to twenty five past eleven. Oh it's a goodness.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:45:08):
By the way, Jack Russell's name is Robert Charles Russell,

Brettett's Marcus, good evening and welcome. Thanks for calling, Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:45:56):
Yes, you said something that Wendy and the Peter Pan
movie sort of and I remember watching it a couple
of days ago. Robin, will you which is a Robin name?

Speaker 15 (01:46:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:46:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot he did that.

Speaker 9 (01:46:13):
He was brilliant in that.

Speaker 11 (01:46:14):
Who was he was?

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
He captain? Doctor captain?

Speaker 9 (01:46:17):
He was Peter Pan? Really he and the old guy
He lost his marbles but Peter Pen found his marbles. Yeah,
and well, Mama, I re changed his name, didn't he?

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
Yes, he is Clay. A lot of people in show
Burs kind of seemed to change the name also because
the managers said the name was wrong or wouldn't be
kind of exciting enough for something like that. I don't
know why.

Speaker 9 (01:46:44):
We had some terrible names for the teachers, like what, well,
there was a mister Kerr.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
Wasn't I understand where that would be? Yeah, okay, And there.

Speaker 9 (01:46:55):
Was Missus Smith, so we called him Missus Smith and
uh mad mad Dog. Sorry to all the Martins out there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
Man, none of them were any good, right, ah mad.

Speaker 9 (01:47:13):
Dog Martin used to smoke cigarettes in the class. Oh well,
in the day.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
At least they went slipping out for smoke the whole time.
At most teachers, we're just off to the staff from
there'll every five minutes for the smoke.

Speaker 9 (01:47:27):
Yeah. Pipe pipe. The teacher at Intermedia used to smoke
a pipe in the class. Spake it up.

Speaker 3 (01:47:35):
When was the last time you saw someone smoking a pipe?

Speaker 9 (01:47:38):
Britt? Well, yeah, I don't know what for the pipe?
Not a pea pipe, not a.

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
Pea pipe, not a pea pipe, but just a standard
pipe you don't see very often at all. You'd good day, Britt, Yeah,
pretty good.

Speaker 9 (01:47:55):
It was supposed to ragin like hell, but it didn't
up here in ortand it was all right.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
They say the Harbor Bridge might clo tomorrow close to
you don't plan to go across that.

Speaker 9 (01:48:03):
Do you well it was Thursday that bad?

Speaker 3 (01:48:08):
Yeah, I've seen something that's right a Dan.

Speaker 2 (01:48:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:48:11):
If it gets up to ninety five, they're going to
pull the pin on it, give it up on it.

Speaker 9 (01:48:16):
The lead a monorail, like I told them years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
That's it, Brett. How long before someone mentions the Simpsons
in the monorail? I think that kind of destroyed monorails forever?
The Simpsons? Isn't it every famous?

Speaker 5 (01:48:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:48:26):
I don't even know what the famous episode really. The
theme of the famous episode was did Homer drive that
he went for the job?

Speaker 2 (01:48:33):
Did he?

Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
Sort of in the first seasons when it was really good.
But it's mentioned all the time for anything that happens
now and always say I like the Simpsons. What was
the details with it? Marge versus the I was a
con man that brought it in, wasn't It was the
twelfth episode of the fourth series, written by Conan O'Brien,
which is quite interesting and Leonard Nimoy repeted as himself

(01:48:58):
considered one of the best ever episodes of the Simpsons. YEP,
So what happens is the EPA fine burns three? Many
of a dumping the waste in the park. A town
meeting is held to decide how to spend the money.
Marge persuades nearly the town's build repair springs that Springfield's
heavily damage Main Street, but a fast talking salesmen, Lyle Lanley,

(01:49:19):
leads a song and dance routine that convinces him to
build a monorail. This is politics a nutshell. Yeah, John,
it's Marcus. Welcome in, good.

Speaker 14 (01:49:29):
Evening, good markets. Here you mate tearing John.

Speaker 3 (01:49:34):
Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 14 (01:49:35):
She's getting cold here, I tell you, lady, but much
no one.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
Have you seen the mountain?

Speaker 10 (01:49:41):
No, not today.

Speaker 14 (01:49:42):
I drove all the way around it today in my travels.
About eight degrees in the NIA this afternoon at about
four o'clock. But a new commiss now it's teen, which
is weird. Do you think it'll be colder but blustery?
Yeah's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (01:49:56):
You got the you got the collars on the cows.

Speaker 14 (01:49:59):
No, I haven't, but I'm in that industry, and yeah,
it's it's incredible what they can walk up, the what
they can do. Now, I just did you mention before
that they don't Somebody says they don't really save any
labor units. But no, they do because because you're not
out there having to shift fences. You the cows can
have a full grass, the full paddic of grass in

(01:50:20):
front of them, and they will only graze up to
the line that's drawn on your phone and they will
not step over that line. Even though there's no physical
wire there, they won't go over it. They will eat
that line. It's quite disconcerning to see them in a
full paddic of grass and they won't. And they won't.
They won't go and eat that line says, that's where

(01:50:40):
you go to, and that's that's where they'll go to.

Speaker 3 (01:50:43):
And John the only other time I oversee farmers or
their wives or husbands out of the tractors moving fences.
It's all they it's the only job they get out
of the tractor for it seems. So if they can
do that, that's saving a lot of work.

Speaker 14 (01:50:53):
Well, that's yeah, exactly. If you if you think, if
you've got a three hundred hungry cows and are waiting
for you to go and feed silage out to them,
you've got to get off that track to try and
get across that wire and feed out on the new
pass before you let them over. Well, you don't need
to do that anymore. You dive through the cows, you
drive onto the new pasture and there's an invisible line

(01:51:14):
there and they won't go over it. So you go
in there and feedge your silas out and then you
go on your phone and you drop that electronic wire
and they all get a message to say you can
move on to the new break. It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:51:27):
So what's interesting is the only kit is the collar
because everything else is just in the cloud, isn't it.
The boundary wire is it's just there's just on your
phone and.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
Just so.

Speaker 14 (01:51:40):
That's a GPS line, so your phone is completely GPS mapped.
So but there are towers, reception towers that you need,
I suppose with really satellite with satellites probably going to
get better, but also riperian planting as well. Those there's
creeks and that the cows aren't meant to go into

(01:52:02):
the millions of dollars. No longer needs to a gun
tech because you can stop them from going in thereby
by drawing on your phone that that's in the area
that they don't go.

Speaker 3 (01:52:12):
And the good thing is it's brought down the price
of riparian planting, hasn't it, because suddenly that's just the
plant now and a way to begin with.

Speaker 4 (01:52:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:52:21):
Absolutely. And the other really interesting thing is that you
know normally when you when when hungry cout here a
motorbike or a tractor, or even if they're not hungry,
they just think they want to be said. They don't
associate humans with being said. When you've got holder, because
you can be in you allowed with your feet up
in front of the fire, and you all of a

(01:52:44):
sudden the clowers give a signals so you can be fed.
So you can go out and your motibike and your
attractor and cruise around and they don't pay you any
attention because they don't associate you as a food source anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:52:54):
Are you seeing many cows? Are you seeing many cows
in the neck? You've got the hold?

Speaker 5 (01:52:57):
Is it?

Speaker 11 (01:52:58):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:52:59):
Yeah, yeah, it's huge. I mean there are there are
lots of other electronic collars, but but no one's really chased.

Speaker 11 (01:53:08):
The hold.

Speaker 14 (01:53:10):
You shifting senses as such, in control and gettlement way,
there's being around doing the animal health. They can pick
up cares that are on heat. You can pick up
cows that are laying. It can even tell you what
legs are laymen. But by the way that the cows
swinging the head end walking, it can tell you which
which which she's lame on.

Speaker 3 (01:53:32):
Because twenty years ago I went to a demonstration down
here there's a farm that had gone for self milking,
that bring themselves, And that doesn't seem to be as
big these days, does it? Or have I missed that?

Speaker 14 (01:53:40):
You know, there's still there's still robotic sheds around. Doesn't
suit everybody's set up, but no, they're still there.

Speaker 10 (01:53:49):
You definitely, but it's not growing.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
It's not growing, or it is good it is good tech.
Are you talking about hold all the robots, the robots,
the robot milking.

Speaker 14 (01:53:59):
No, yeah, no, the yeah, the robots are still growing.
It's yeah, yeah, definitely yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:54:05):
Okay, nice to John, Thanks so much for that, Maria,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (01:54:09):
Welcome evening, Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:54:14):
I thought I thought you might like a little laugh
for the end of the evening. When we were young,
we were homesteading, you know, so we thought we'd get
a couple of little wiener piglets. So people said, oh no,
you set up an electric fence and throw them inside.
There and they'll stay there and they'll be just fine. Well, no,
we did this and that evening, I said I can

(01:54:37):
hear piglets in my garden to my to my ben partner,
and I said, somebody has to go and get them
out of my garden. So he jumped out of bed
naked because we lived in the country, and raced after
these public piglets down the road, which the piglets then
went into the neighbor's property. But the missing the missing

(01:54:59):
link was that when you put set up an electric fence,
you have to put a visual barrier so that when
they hit the electric fence visually they see something and
they back off. Right, Yes, so we used corrogated iron. Well,
those piglets grew to big Mama sows and never got
out once again. But by golly, he was away a
long time, running down the road naked.

Speaker 15 (01:55:20):
Figs.

Speaker 3 (01:55:23):
Where in that hell is he?

Speaker 16 (01:55:26):
Anyway, I wasn't.

Speaker 21 (01:55:27):
Getting out of bed, no road. But anyway, we figured
it out in the end and we never had any
more trouble ever after.

Speaker 3 (01:55:33):
Nice ter Maria, thanks so much. That thirteen to twelve,
Yvonnette Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 22 (01:55:39):
Oh, Helen Marcus. I started off with three call three
questions and or responses. You were talking about the coffee.
The kind of.

Speaker 5 (01:55:51):
Coffee was that?

Speaker 20 (01:55:53):
Yes, yes, well we used.

Speaker 22 (01:55:56):
To have that and that, you know, when we were
living the high life as my mother used to call it,
and we you know, which it was only ten dollars
a jar, but the jars were so nice and they
had a little round sort of plastically thing, you know,
to keep the coffee.

Speaker 3 (01:56:15):
Oh, yes, you're sort of self sealable, haven't they like
a plastic what we like a guessket? Would you call
that a gasket? What would we called a guest star game?

Speaker 22 (01:56:24):
Yeah, someone will know. But you can actually end up
taking the labels off and relabeling them, you know, with
your little label machines and stuff, and have your little
not your little shelves. We had big pantries, and you'll
be able to put the labels on these jars that
you got pretty much for ten dollars and put your

(01:56:48):
lollies in or special things in all your spices that
I had and herbs.

Speaker 3 (01:56:54):
And have you any gasket or ceiling ring? Yep? We were, Yeah,
there we go.

Speaker 22 (01:56:58):
We'll call it a don't talk to me about desket.
The ceiling rings. I've got a story about a manhole.
I want to talk about these jars because you can
put pop pop purity in them. I think you can
buy it from like the two dollars shop even, and
then you put nice, a nice scented oil in this

(01:57:20):
or something, and it gives your room a really nice fragrance.
And I was thinking of Patricia, who's lying in her bed,
you know, so to have her room smelling nice and
fresh and everything. It'd be nice if someone could come
in and sort of light a nice scented candle for it.

Speaker 3 (01:57:41):
So you've lost me?

Speaker 15 (01:57:42):
Are we talking about, Oh, Patricia that rings in?

Speaker 13 (01:57:45):
You know that lady?

Speaker 22 (01:57:46):
It might be her.

Speaker 10 (01:57:49):
I got no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:57:50):
I got no idea.

Speaker 22 (01:57:51):
Now listen, listen, Marcus. You will have an idea. Because
you let that lady talk. You'd let her. She was publishing,
she was writing children's stories. Do you remember, maybe, well,
you let you talk, and she was beautiful, and she
told us so much about the story that I actually

(01:58:14):
took it on board to put it to memory, Marcus.
And it's lovely and I would love to hear them more.

Speaker 3 (01:58:20):
Are you saying that she's unwell?

Speaker 15 (01:58:22):
Is that what you're saying, Oh, well, I don't know
if it's the same, Patricia, I.

Speaker 3 (01:58:27):
Don't know what you're talking. I mean, yeah, I don't
know that. I don't know the common thing behind all
the calls. I don't I don't know the back stories
that you do, because but that's for the that's for
the super fans. The backstories.

Speaker 7 (01:58:42):
Well, we are the.

Speaker 22 (01:58:43):
Super fans because we listen all day and well why not, Well,
I mean, here enough, you've got another sort of life. Yes,
I know if this is the thing, you're living two lives.
You're living our lives. You are because you're listening, because

(01:59:03):
you're listening to us, and then you're going then you're
going home to the other life. You've got another life.

Speaker 5 (01:59:12):
About names, Oh, well, about names, all I can share
was a neighbor, an awesome person, mister hands he was,
and he had hands all right, you know, he was
always fixing something.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
His name mister Hans.

Speaker 22 (01:59:29):
His name was mister Hands. Yes, we didn't call people
ray and bloody Alice in Wonderland and all the.

Speaker 3 (01:59:35):
Rest of it.

Speaker 9 (01:59:36):
We had.

Speaker 22 (01:59:37):
We had to call them mister and missads. And if
you didn't, you either got a lot called bloody wack. Sorry,
but that's why her pinned and now it's all changed.

Speaker 3 (01:59:50):
It was his name mister Hans, and you call him
mister Hans.

Speaker 22 (01:59:53):
Yes, we called him mister Hans Marcus. We weren't allowed
not to. Only the adults called.

Speaker 5 (02:00:00):
Name.

Speaker 3 (02:00:01):
It doesn't sound to me like a good name calling
someone mister Hans. It sounds worse anyway.

Speaker 5 (02:00:07):
They used to make They used to make jokes out
of that.

Speaker 3 (02:00:11):
Surprised and politics, What do you want to say about politics?

Speaker 22 (02:00:14):
What was it about politics? I haven't got there yet.

Speaker 2 (02:00:17):
