Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Greeting's welcome, How I am, my nay miss Marcus. Good evening,
Welcome to the Friday Free for All. I hope the
night is dry, pretty good weather down south, but certainly
is sitting from this afternoon onwards, it's really come down
heavily and I presume that's what's happening in the north
of the South Island. Yeah, so if you've got weather
updates for us, let us know what those are. I'm
across that I don't know. I mean the thing with
weather at nighttime it changes quite quickly, and by that

(00:34):
I mean it's dark and people don't know. And also
there's not a lot of news to me there out there.
So if there's things that's happening, rest assured, I will
bring those to you as I can. So, yeah, that's
the situation too, So fairly wet weather. But if you've
got some updates on that, get through to me with
those if you can, please, oh wait one hundred and

(00:55):
eighty ten eighty or ninety two ninety two if you
want a text. The other breaking news too, which is
not news as such, but it's news because people talk
about it. The horses are back, back, back, back, back back,
and the back back, So yeah, that's the situation. The
horses are back at Ta Kaha one, New Zealand Stadium.

(01:18):
I wasn't watching it. I was traveling. If you saw
her on the TV, I don't think you'd be listening
if you're actually at the event. Let us know how
that was. Did it work? Did it work? Was it good?
Did it work? I guess that's what I'm asking you.
Been so much talk about it, and I kind of
from where I sat, which was here, I thought we
got to the stage. I says, oh, well it was
good while it lasted. We'll let it go. There was

(01:38):
a petition, but people went that upset. But anyway, they
are back. The horses are back. If you saw them,
let us know and what you thought about that. Apparently
the crowd went wild. There's not a very big strip
for them on there's one, two, three, four, five, six.
Some have got red flags, some of them have got
black flags. So the worst kept secret had a test

(01:59):
run during the week. What was all that Pilava out with?
They're just hyping it up. They won't even confirme it tonight.
These are the pole horses A round they went, So
there we go. A few minor tweaks, including the horses
only computing two laps rather usual three plus operating continuous
canter as stopping increases the likelihood of the horses becoming

(02:21):
settled unsettled. Don't laugh at this still. I want to
use a word I don't use very often, but they
were concerned if the horses stopped they would go down
the vomitories, which are the passages going downhill out of
the stadium. Not even a word on you, but good
on the horses and shout out to the people that
ride those at the previous venues Lancaster Park and Apollo Projects.

(02:45):
The horses are able to avoid the field of play
while doing the three laps before kickoff. So there we go.
So that's happened, and the horses are ridden around, and
I think the Crusaders are behind twelve thirteen to the
Blues at the stage. But back up now the Blue
Crusaders are ahead nineteen thirteen. So they're converted a try
and they've got that and they are up ahead. But

(03:05):
if you saw all that, you want to comment quickly
on the horses before we move to other stuff and
the weather. Friday Free for All, loose like a ghost,
loose like you wouldn't imagine. I'm just waiting for the
Texas says, please stop talking about those bloody horses. Get
in touch if you want to. He's Hittel twelve. My
name is Marcus. Other stuff too. Happy birthday, Sir David.

(03:26):
I think everyone's going to wish him a happy birthday.
He's one of those few people. Well. I think it
was interesting is people talked about him on some of
the news programs today. He's one of the very few
broadcasters that managed to keep a career without selling out.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Like I don't think he's ever advertised anything. I think
he's endorsed stuff. I think he's just really been ridgie ditch,
not gone for the top dollar, but just you keept
doing quality stuff free. Hard to do that for all
those years, seventy three years or something like that. So
well done, and that's extraorinary. So there we go. That's

(04:02):
a situation with as I say, it's the Friday Free
for all, anything goes Hittl twelve o'clock. If you want
to talk about stuff. I realize most of you'll be
watching sport. I don't have a problem with that. Good
on you. Has been a volcano in Indonesia with people
missing a daily eruption. It's called hikers. There were warning
signs that didn't obey those warning signs there. That's right,
So that's happened. Also, I will keep you updated with

(04:23):
the news as it happens tonight, So get in touch
if you want to talk about this or anything else.
And the horses. By the way, there's a recall from
Ikea kitchen gadget. It's the garlic press. It's four dollars
and a bit comes off it. I love I love
a well. I think about the garlic press. You put
a lot of pressure on it, don't you so imagine
something could break? I think the worst thing is gonna happen.

(04:45):
You're gonna swallow A bit of metal might be good
for you. Never known. I ca'd e a putut recall
before good evening, Sheila. This is Marcus.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Welcome, Hello Marcus lock. Yet I'm watching the Crusaders booze match.
What I can't understand and no one trying when I
phoned up, even the sports person I've phoned up. Why
when they've got the ball, why do they kick it
to the opposition? Why do they kick This is happened
so many times here and they've lost it and given

(05:16):
that and the Blues got to try over it. Why
didn't they hang on to the brinking fall? I can't
understand if they're near there, if they're near their own goal,
but when they're halfway up the field, why chick it
to the opposition? Can you tell me why?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Well?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Why?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay? Are you prepared to listen?

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Mis dear? I am?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I think the game of rugby has changed and this
has been dictated by the South Africans, okay, And the
way to gain advantage is to kick high balls and
then chase them and wait for the other team to
make errors and then you'll either get a penalty and
kick for goal or kick it out and get a

(06:06):
line out and score. So it's a technical move that
has seemed to play off because the South Africans, I think,
are back to beck World champs and they've done it
with this kick away technique, so it must it must
work for I don't think the news Ins are as
good at it, because we're not so great under the
high ball.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
But it's just not even Moll Davies happen. It's a
falseman and he couldn't understand why they do it either.
He used just to this ridiculous. They keep giving it
to the opposition all the time, and they've lost it
twice tonight for that the Crusaders. So I mean it's
a great match to watch. You know, I'm listening to

(06:43):
you as well, and I can see what's going on.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
What's the school now, Sheila?

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, so anyway, I'll keep me being discrossed. Yeah, what's
the school now?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
What did they Okay? Brilliant? Okay, thank you Sheila. If
I got that right, I'm pretty sure that's why they
can Could someone ring up? Because if someone it's kind
of I wonder, what's explaining you all get to you?
You love your game, you don't understand it. Could someone
else explain that to me? That's why I believe happens.
It's a South African I mean, there'd be more subtleties.
It's a subtle game rugby. But if someone could text

(07:16):
me and say, why do they kick the ball away?
Why do they kick away position? Because this is a
question for the ages, and I don't I've been around
to watch to make the place to watch them in
another try twenty four to third. That was a try

(07:37):
she saw there wasn't then she may watching underlay. Who
would know? Like if you go to AI, it says.
In rugby union, teams kick away position primarily to gain territory,
transfer pressure to the opponent, and force eras in more
advantageous areas of the pitch. There's a technical move to

(07:59):
exit defensive zones safely, break down strong defensive lines like
a blitz defense, or contest for the ball in a
better position rather than turn it over near their own tryline.
I'm happy with.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
All of that.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
People get so whooped up about today, and the other
thing that you probably need to say is maybe the
rules need to change to stop that happening because the
spectators don't like it. But you can't just always change
a game for the spectator, and otherwise you'll be changing
your tail forever. I think what you need to do
is just realize that teams will adapt and change their tactics.

(08:33):
Murray says, you got it. They kick it to win
the game. There is an F word in there, pretty
easy to understand, and there's so many look and I'm
on a rugby head. But what there will be is
there will be hundreds of thousands of videos of rugby
games that will be input into computers, and they will

(08:54):
have all the stats, and they will know that if
you kick a ball from a certain area the percentage
that you will score in the last five the next
five minutes or something like that. They'll have done endless.
They've got all this data that'll be chomped because you know,
I think players rear those little things in the back
that work at how they run and where they go.
So all those games will be broken down into figures

(09:15):
and stats and they'll run all that and they'll work
out what's going on. Seventeen past eight. Lovely to hear
from it, though, goodness, Marcus. We own a swift Challenger caravan.
It's just failed its waft because the plywood board under
the gas bottle has got rotten it. I was under

(09:36):
the understanding this is not part of the structure, therefore
cannot fail a waft. Has anyone had this issue before?
I was told the repair must be done by a professional,
not Diyat myself. The brother Johnny. The plywood under the
gas bottle, I would say, the plywood under the gas
bottle would be part of the structure. Could someone help

(09:58):
the brother Johnny with his caravan please, anything else you
want to talk about to the weather or anything else,
get in touch and rugby. Could someone explain maybe the
subtleties more off about who invented this kicking the ball
away and why when rugby comes in different trends doesn't
it for a while away the English would just see
what they could do the whole time and just kick

(10:18):
penalties with Johnny Wilkinson. Remember then they started playing rugby
more oilway swings in roundabouts. But yeah, if you want
to talk about this, that's the planned. People get in
touch and we'll keep it going. Now split ends is
tomorrow and Sunday night in Auckland, so that's important. So
just putting that out there. This was the day that

(10:40):
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected the first American pope,
took the name Leo the fourteenth, so he's been in
their job one year. Today. The Beatles released will Let
It Be This Day in nineteen seventy. This day. In
nineteen twenty sixties, In and Railway magazine launched Good Magazine.
That and cope was invented eighteen eighty six, the greatest
beverage ever invented and probably the most valuablettle beverage ever invented.

(11:03):
I would think wade a fortunate out of that over
the years. It's nineteen eight yay. So what's happening in
your well? People? Let us know if you're out and
about and got something to say. Did you see the horses?
Love to talk to you about the horses? Was it
as good? Was it better in the world's greatest stadium?
The horses are back on world donkey? They fancy that?

(11:25):
What carting series was a cat called fancy? And do
you remember, Marcus, I've got no idea. Were the horses
ever not coming back? Or have we all been subject
to a clever pr stunt not having the horses for
one game as you noticed, all to bring them back
and got us all behind the crusaders again are masterly
public relations coop. I believe there must have been some

(11:46):
concerns there regarding the kicking rugby fans just to have
accept that rugby is boring. Yes, that's interesting, isn't it.
Teams have put their desire to win ahead of their
desire to provide a spectacle. Maybe we need something like
the Harlem Globe Trotters of rugby that play a game
that people want to watch, like Banana Bay Spool, which

(12:06):
is taking over. Anyone got experience with Bell's palsy, had
it twice in twelve months, no other I'm a teacher
thirty four, no other known illnesses, not any more stress
than my usual and blood's normal, and no recent viral either.
Bell's pausey been the question for now. I've got no idea.

(12:28):
What is I presume your face goes numb? Have I
got that kind of right? Doesn't sound like a barrel
of fun. I don't know what the cure is. I
presume it's named after a doctor Bell, or a mister
Bell or a missus Bell that got the palsy. Good evening, Kirie,
This is Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
Hey, Micu's pretty slow going out of out of book.
Prince tonight on the on some motorway and pretty pretty
pretty gungey as well, passed on made pretty rainy side rain,
pretty miserable. Everybody's gone away for the weekend of space.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
You wouldn't go You wouldn't go away. You wouldn't go
away in May, would you.

Speaker 7 (13:07):
Oh, I know if.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
People get out of that orm when they need a chance,
can't they?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, I don't know. I don't know what's going on
with the Auclards anymore. How long did it take you
to get from CBD to Bombay? An hour?

Speaker 8 (13:19):
Ah?

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Just stopping now, Marcus. At least about seven o'clock. So
I'm supposedly at Bombay are in about ten two tz
so yeah, about just on twenty five minutes behind.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
So yeah, no extant, no, okay, slow going, okay, Currie,
appreciate you coming through. Thank you. There we go, slow
going to Bombay. Watch you out with that one. Get
in touch, Marcus. They kicked the ball away because I don't
want to get crushed in the mud by some heavy
six foot monster. Marcus and Georgia showed Ustaf about the topic.
Cars reminds me of a currently brought back in eighty

(13:53):
seven and XA XA GT Falcon coop genuine matching numbers cars,
which means the engine is original to the car. Color
was red, pepper and black fifteen came back in those days.
You're twenty five percent depositis I didn't have quite have
the car is now with one eighty one of those
what if stories. I love those what if What if

(14:14):
I'd bought that car that I didn't have enough money for,
you could well have crashed it. Murdock. It's Marcus. Good
evening and welcome.

Speaker 8 (14:21):
Hey Margaret. I just picked a mate up from airport
at ten past second. It took us an hour and
a half to get the cracker. Wow, absolute shambles of
two accellents. And they've changed the jury off ramp. Now
it used to be like three lanes and now it's
two lanes. It's just honestly, it's like hour and a half.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (14:41):
Yeah, I might move down to this down your way?

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well you could, Well, yeah, we haven't got to train
to the airport either. Have we set there out many
other options for them?

Speaker 8 (14:49):
No, no options. I did the good thing. I think
it'll pick them up. Now I'm late for a party,
and you.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Know it sounds like you're sick of them. Where's he?

Speaker 8 (14:55):
He's done? He picked up in bed. Now I've had
to go out to another plane. I left my phone
in his US and I had to drive out to
her play. It's just yeah, we.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Should we should party, he said, old for a party.
We should party.

Speaker 8 (15:06):
And now at a place called mister Henry's and Panamahae.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Oh cheap as that's is it is? What's it called?
Is it a restaurant?

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (15:16):
So it's an in fun in Panamahi. I don't know,
but yeah it's a new restaurant out there by the
rugby ground. That's a friend fiftieth.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Is it fancy?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
No?

Speaker 8 (15:26):
No, if you're not just a bit of a they're
probably not even there by now, not.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
Even what even what?

Speaker 8 (15:31):
Even Ishoe is like a sort of in between Pokakwe
and Peppa Curran. It's like at a little town has
had a good little ruby team. You just to have
a good old fashioned pub, but very much of a
farming community.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
And any all blacks.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
And mentioned so probably they had a pretty respectable team.
They still do.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
I like to go with for a party with you
you sound like good fun?

Speaker 8 (15:55):
Yeah, no know it goes.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Expect it sounds part of running. It just seems to
be right. It seems to be part of Pokacoe. But
mister Henry seems with the place there apart from mud
pies and butterflies, what would that be? It's like a
place you have a kid's party. A lot of emails
about Bell's palsy, facial paralysis PREDI zone course finished anti
voil means precaution, eyes don't close or blink, taping at

(16:20):
night and using eye drops. Goodness, Bell's palsy is just awful.
No treatment, you just have to ride out for weeks.
It sucks. I was diagnosed with Bell's paulsby three years ago,
and fortune on the twenty percent that don't recover a
permit facial paralysis. There's no cure. It's one of the
worst things that ever happens to me. And then him
or her have sent an emoji that looks like it's

(16:42):
got Bell's palsy, which I thought was good. Marcus, Mudpies
and Butterflies is a daycare, of course, it is in
least surprising news.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I think.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Eventually I mentioned every business in this country. Crusaders thirty
one Blue thirteen nineteen minutes, nineteen minutes to go. The
horses were there, just the two laps. Good evening, Susanne,
It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 10 (17:09):
Oh hi, Marcus. I've had Bell's palsy. I had it
twenty seven years ago when I was pregnant with my
daughter Chrissy.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
And I think I think it's more common with women
that are pre with pregnant women.

Speaker 11 (17:25):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 10 (17:26):
But there's Bell's palsy will actually reappear. I had Ramsey
Hunt syndrome, which is the worst kind of Me and
Bernady OLDAKV we talked quite about to each other.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Are you part of a group.

Speaker 10 (17:44):
Well, no, we're not part of a group. I just
knew that she had it, and I had Ramsey Hunt syndrome,
and I also had a cyst on the brain. So
things kind of went tops to tubing when I gave birth.
But we might get into that. But I have had,

(18:04):
you know, a lot of complications from it, so I
couldn't eat. I had to drink out of a straw
to be seed. You know, like Ramsey Hunt syndrome and
Bell's pools they are two different things. Bells poolsy will
heal and you only have flight paralysis where I've still
got the same paralysis as that that happened. So most

(18:26):
faces like Benadine, I'll have a crees. It's all.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
It is.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Her face not working so good.

Speaker 10 (18:34):
No, that's so she left TV.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, it's of stuff that we should be talked. Does
she talked in the magazines about this?

Speaker 10 (18:41):
Oh, yeah, yeah, got open.

Speaker 7 (18:43):
Me had that.

Speaker 10 (18:44):
Really her totals with Ramsey Hunts syndrome. So you have
to be diagnosed with the Ramsey Hunt syndrome, which involves
MRI skins, all sorts of skins, and it's it's the
heavies virus. And rather than it's oh yes, it does say.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
This is something, she does say she's had Ramsey Hunt. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (19:07):
You know, we talk often about it because it can
affect you. I can hold my baby, or I couldn't nurse.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
My it's always such a lovely smile. Is you still
got that?

Speaker 10 (19:20):
I think she's she's like me. I've had a lot
of what do you call it? Needles in the face
and that my eyes still water and actually punch a year,
but my eyes still waters all the time. And it's
the happy virus. And rather than it come out, you know,

(19:41):
for you to get a cold swer that goes inside
the ear and it eats all the crany or nerves.
So it's and the reason why your face doesn't go
back to normal is because the cranial nerves grow back,
but they don't grow back straight. They grow back or crooked.
So that's why you left with so much paralysis. So

(20:03):
someone with Bell's palsy. If it's just bell palsy, you'll
get some presna zone and your heel and on your
face all returned pretty much normal.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
She's never come back on TV.

Speaker 10 (20:15):
No, no, no, should never come back on TV. And
it's such a shame, like it's not for the vain
to get you know, she was beautiful, which is still beautiful.
But yeah, me and Bernadette have talked a lot about
it on Instagram to I wonder.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Where that talking was Instagram talking, Yeah, talking, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (20:42):
I just sort of reached out to her and I see,
you've got lots of support, and she said she had,
and you know, but yeah, no, it's a horrible thing
to have because your taste buds are never write either,
and it's just a lot of stuff with it, you know,
like you never I mean, some people don't know the difference.

(21:02):
And if I say but some people say to me
if you had a stroke, and I say, no, I
haven't his But yeah, it's not very loss and I
was only twenty one when I hit it, so yeah,
it's pretty it's not really norse.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Nice to hear from me, Susan, Thank you twenty five
to nine. He's til midnight. McDonald's tipped a pair of
feder on his head. He's on the been for teen
probably be upgraded to a red. Yeah. Well, goodness, Laura,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (21:34):
Hi Marcus, I sent you a text. So I was
diagnosed three years ago. It'll be three years in July.
I woke up I had some twitching them on the
side of my face. And next morning I woke up
my tom with tongue was numb, and then realized that
I couldn't blink, I couldn't eat. So I went to

(21:58):
A and E and they diagnosed me pretty much, said
you'll come right, gave me steroids, said it might take
two to three months. Three years later and I now
have a byproduct called sinkinesis. So the nerves instead of
rewiring the correct way, they've gone the wrong way. So
when I can't smile, I only have half a smile.

(22:22):
But when I do smile, my eye closes. I have
to use a straw. I can't eat on that side.
There's no pure, there's no help. I couldn't speak for
a long time. I couldn't blink for six months. They
sowed my eye shut two times they glued it shut

(22:42):
and then finally, after six months, they put a platinum weight.
They sewed it into my eye lid, which has enabled
me to blink and close my eye. But I had
to take my eye shut keep it covered. Incredibly painful.
You can't be in cold wind. Yeah it's awful. Yeah

(23:07):
it's And there's just not much information out there. The
lady who called before about Ramsey hunt. They are two
different things. But most people do recover, and they recover quickly,
but they don't. It's a virus that attacks when your
immunity is low, and that's why they think it's linked

(23:29):
to stress. And the year I got it, I had
four people very close to me die, So it made
sense to me that in my case there was stress there.
But sometimes it can be an air infection. It's it's
very random, but it's life changing.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Were you blind for all that time?

Speaker 12 (23:51):
I couldn't. I had to tape my eye clothes. You
literally cannot blink your eye is wide open, so I
was having to put gel in there and drops.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
All the time.

Speaker 12 (24:01):
It still burns. I have a lot of pain on
that side of my face. It's all inflamed around there.
I get boatops injections because I've got the byproduct the synkinesis,
so I have boatops roughly every three months. So I
go in and they inject around the eye, which isn't pleasant,

(24:24):
but it's you know, it's painful in the moment. I
don't know if it works, but I also will do anything. Thankfully,
I got my speech back, but there's no public funding
for it, so my doctor referred me to the hospital,
but they wouldn't see me. People go death can lost

(24:46):
the hearing in the side that they're affected. Yeah, I
can blink now, but I don't have voluntary control of it.
And like I say, when I talk, when I smile,
my eye squeeze is shut and and people say to me, oh,
you look so much better, And I look better because
I don't have a big eye patrol, big table over

(25:08):
my eye. But I also don't have control. And so
the minute my mouth moves, my eye squinch shut. And
so I'm very aware of I can feel it. Let
alone see it.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Can I just ask you to explain a little bit
about the platinum and your eyelid is it to give
it some weight to ease your own voluntary muscles with it.

Speaker 12 (25:28):
Correct yep, so they a platinum's lighter than gold, so
initially they were going to do gold, but it's time.
I mean I can feel it and you could see
it if my eyes closed. But yeah, I mean it's
been amazing, like.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So that's in your eyelid, that's in your eyelid, in.

Speaker 12 (25:44):
My eyelid, but it's certainly better than having my eye
stitched shut, which you know, when you're lying there, you've
just got a local anesthetic and you're watching them stitch
your eye clothes, it's very unpleasant, very awful and painful.
So the platinum things the best thing like they could
have done for me, which was you know, I'm forever thankful,
but it took me I think a year before I

(26:07):
saw it, No, maybe about eight months before us or
a neurologist because it's and it's not covered by acc
so you know, it's it's not an accident, and so
they say that there is no cure, but they recommend
you rest and have no stress and all of that.
But because it's not funded, I couldn't afford to be
off work, so I think I had two weeks off

(26:29):
work and then have had to go back. But I'm
still in pain, my eye burns all the time. I've
just had to live with it because they have told
me it's permanent, there is no cure.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
It sounds like you're very well. Are you running the
Facebook group?

Speaker 12 (26:45):
I'm on several faith I don't run it, no, but
I've joined some because that's where I'm getting my info from.
Look at that, I don't see anyone, But it can
be scary because again they say eighty percent will recover,
you'll be fine, and then you go on the Facebook
page and people who have it, and there's people who
are saying I've had it twice now three times, I've

(27:07):
had it on both sides. And that's terrifying when you're
going looking for hope or answers. And I mean, for me,
I know there is no hope or answer in terms
of it getting better, but you know, and people come
and go on the Facebook pages because most do eighty
percent do recover, and so they got their support and

(27:29):
then they.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Go for a while. She's over it, you were you
guys still stuck with it?

Speaker 13 (27:35):
Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (27:39):
And when Bernardine went first went off air, and they
did make an announcement and they did say but then
she's you know, and I hoped because I think she
was about six months after me, and I hoped that
that would give some awareness, like you know, put a
celebrity on a magazine or something, and people get some
awareness and fully respect her for just going away privately.

(28:02):
But it then just dropped off the radar. But more
mom more people seem to be diagnosed with it.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, so she's got the bells. Pauses, she got the.

Speaker 12 (28:14):
Hunt one, she's got the Ramsey Hunt.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yeah, that's not what you've got though. Where you've got
the bells, I've got bells.

Speaker 12 (28:20):
But the lady before who had Ramsey Hunt, she said,
if you don't recover, then it's Ramsey Hunt. Whereas I've
not been told I have that. I've just clearly been
told I have bells.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Wow. Oh that's great with a message. And if people
have that and go to the Facebook page, it's probably
a private group, I imagine, but you'll let people on.

Speaker 12 (28:39):
I don't run the group, I just bring it.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, but it's easy to sound very helpful.

Speaker 12 (28:44):
Yeah, there's an amazing lady in Australia. Her name is
Elizabeth Robinson and she has Ramsey Hunt. So she runs
an Australia New Zealand page, but there's also worldwide ones,
but there seems to be not a lot in New
Zealand in terms of therapy or support.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
So really appreciate your honesty and your clarity, Laura, your cloronesty.
Thank you so much for that. Fifteen to nine, thirteen
away from nine. If you want to come through, there's
all the lines there are free. If you want to
be part of the show hit til twelve o'clock tonight,
rugby rugby while they kick the ball away, you might
want to explain that Bell's palsy. Yeah, wow, listen to that.

(29:24):
I guess that's one thing Facebook for free, good for information,
isn't it. I thought that was quite a comfort for
her and for the old the hunt one, So that's yeah,
I think that was I think we've done quite good
work with that person that wanted some more information because
we've given them out yet, haven't we. They can go
and do that. Get in touch by him? Is Marcus welcome?
Eight hundred and eighty Teddy and nine ten ninety to

(29:44):
text twelve away from nine. I've got constant watery eye
with the eye that doesn't blink. Shall I be pushing
for neurology to explore Ramsey Hunt, particularly twice in ten months.
Isn't that rare? I mean to get it in that
quick spad get out you want to get on the internet.

(30:05):
I no idea, see in, isn't it for you? I'm
afraid that's the situation. If you've got some more information
about that. You see someone said via text they said
a hobby broadcaster would ask themselves how entertating this topic is?

Speaker 14 (30:25):
Well?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I thought it was very interesting how they had that
woman had platinum in her eyelid, because how would that work?
You don't have to be rounded to the curvature of
the eyeball, wouldn't it. I thought it was very interesting.
And I thought the angle of the Facebook was interesting
because you could broaden it out and think, well, what
are the Facebook groups have said? The Facebook group saved

(30:47):
my life, And that'd be a nice topic for the
next hour. You thought you thought you're strange until you
found a Facebook group of like minded people. So someone's
to embark on the topic with the Facebook group saved
my Life'd be very interested in that, more interested than
you could imagine. That's another topic. Facebook groups saved my

(31:08):
life and Why do they always kick the ball away?
I have no knowledge. Not only I have no knowledge,
but I've tried to explain to that person. But they're
so angry. We're not so angry, so surprised they'll keep
doing it. I don't think there's much appetite for listening.
That's my take anyway. That's all. Hold your horses are,
by the way, twenty thirty six eights one full time. Oh,

(31:31):
Juliet's Marcus, Good evening.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
HIBI Marcus. I experienced bell palsy myself and how started
with my love wing up. My eye wouldn't shut my eyelet.
I was told I've got seventy two hours to get
to the doctor to get medication, and they gave them
twelve pills and anticipaited until my eye closing, So I

(31:57):
quewed by it. It was a very good walking doctors
here and in Comma, and they sorted it straight away.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I wonder I could have heard about the hurry to
do it get it done before? Was that the right information?

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Yes, he he's got seventy two hours otherwise it might
go permanent.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Wow, I'm just.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
One other things. Why doesn't the government do a price
freeze on food.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's a really good question.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Hopefully someone can answer that. They try them. The days
are more doomed, but they didn't work. But that would
have been paperwork back then. I wonder if they'll be
able to do it now that we're got all the
computers and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Just push a button.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Thank you, Marcus. I love listening to you.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Nice to talk to you too, Julie Elerance Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 14 (32:52):
Oh hello, And I'm a weave it off topic, but
I hope you'll like this. A federal judge in New
York City has declared Trump's teriff illegal. Yeah, I saw that,
and that what's good about that is because we're all
paying extra at the gas. Thanks, it's good for us

(33:13):
that they it's been declared illegal.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Well, I don't think that's to do with the tariffs
that we're paying. More to do with the war, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (33:20):
No, it's the tariff and it goes back to A
nineteen seventy four and a section section one twenty two. Okay,
so they're tamping them down on it, which means good
goods for a lot of other people. It's the gas
all around the world is tariffs. I mean they reach US.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
So is petrol got to come down on the back.

Speaker 14 (33:43):
Of this, Well, I don't know that. I just I
was watching CNN. I lived in the States for a
long time, and I and in New York, and so
was I like to go across and watch what's happening there,
and that one came up.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Appreciate you coming through, Elli, Thank you for that. There
we go, just coming up to the news. The crusaders
have one. Yes, that's not my understanding with tariffs. But
you sometimes know when you're not going to convince someone,
so that's fine. I think it was more about the

(34:23):
price people pay for the beef and stuff that we
send to America. I guess in some ways everything is connected.
There you go, Bell's palsy and Ramsey Hunter, two different things.
Bell's poalsy will heal in time, but Ramsey hunt won't.
It's the cold saw virus. They can be very painful. Yes,
I think that difference was mentioned. This is not my

(34:43):
specialist topic. This is all new to me. I haven't
had the palsy or the hunt. And yeah, and I
doesn't sound I could want to have it either. By
the way, I don't want to sound dismissive. But yeah,
if you stay on the right side of these things. Goodness. Now,
if you want to a pine on this or talk
about the Facebook group that saved your life, I'd like

(35:07):
to hear from you. You got one of those moments when
you're out there a topic, I think, Gosh, there's other
people like me, and what was that group? There's other
people like me and whatever those that group of those
people were doing. You've come from the rugby. They know
what the horses were like. Were you're scared? Was it better?
Were they close with on top of you? Did you
want them to do a third lap? They just did two?

(35:29):
Was it as good? Was the music as good? Did
it make it more exciting by not having them in
the first week? A cockhoop with excitement that the polo
Ponies are back on Donkey Day? All this love to
hear from you about this. Seven past nine, A couple
of things at the start of the hour. If you're
driving home from the Crusaders, how are the horses? And

(35:52):
was the food as good as the opening? But were
the horses too close? Were you scared? Was two laps enough?
While we're on the topic of rugby, Sheila started the
show SHELA can't believe while they kicked ball away? Could
someone tell me the beginning of this movement and where

(36:12):
we are in that current trend. I'd like to believe
that it's probably been around at fifteen years and started
by the South Africans because it's a winning way. But
if you could explain it more to us for those
people who think possession is everything. I think people I
don't know if you've been round it, but people scream
at the TV why do you cook it away? So yeah,
people get stressed out by that. So you can explain

(36:34):
the tactics in modern rugby and how hard is to
catch a high ball under pressure if it's a spiraling punt.
We're also discussing Bell's paalsy and another polsy which is
not at all related, and that is called Ramsey Hunt.
So Ramsey Hunt was either someone that had Ramsey Hunt

(36:55):
disease or was a neurologist. So that's the discussions for tonight.
Anything else, you've got them up for it. We've got
a road closure and I'm just going to google where
it is. We've got a road closure and it is
Dalton's Road. Sorry, it's not Dalton's Road. It's State Highway

(37:19):
six is closed at Dalton's Road. So if you are
going from Havelock, not Havelock North to Nelson, you will
need to go past Canvas Town and then past this place.
It's flooded in the plast and it's flooded again, and
it's flooded. Now now let me just do something here,

(37:42):
because I don't have to find an alternate route this
in Canvas Town, and the alternate route I would imagine
would be going right back almost to blend him and
going up State Hiway sixty three past the Nelson Lakes
and around that way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but
I believe that's the only alternative. So yeah, that's where

(38:05):
we've got the road closure tonight. And that's both ways.
It goes both ways, so yep, that's happening. There we go.
Someone's texted me and said, what's the name of the
Bells Poolsy group on Facebook? I would imagine if you
typed in Bell's Poolsy group, that would be your best bit.
A lot of these groups are probably private because you
don't want I was gonna say tire kickers, but sort of.

(38:27):
You don't want people from the outside making silly comments
like if you tried colloidal silver or stuff, So that's
probably what they would be mindful of people that are
promising false cures. So yeah, but I guess you were
these Facebook groups you go under it because you have
a different name. No, probably not anyway, if you want
to start the whole discussion, that's our god, very disappointing.

(38:50):
Blues become the first US in and based team to
lose at one using and stadium. Not good for the
super city. That's sunny from Papa Toy Toy. I presume
people are going to wax lyrically about how good the
stadium was, and if you want to be that person
particular about the horses. There we go and Bell's palsy.
I couldn't work out of that platinum sewing in the

(39:12):
eyelands if that were because it was flexible. That was
kind of interested in that. BECU had gold, but gold
was too heavy. This is it an inert metal? So yeah,
there we go our twelve past. No maname as Marcus welcome.
So that's a situation with the floods. I will keep
you aware of the floods. So if you've got any
information for me about that, then that would be important
to me. I'll do what i can to keep you

(39:32):
updated with that. So latest I've got from the live
flooding three and mills and twenty four hours there there
are wain warning rain warnings all over the show, mainly
they are orange. It does save Upletistic Council says flooding
has been severely, particularly severe around Poloris and French Past
where we heard that too, where that road is closed,

(39:53):
and also flooding between between Renwick and Nelson. I'm pleased
I'm not caving. There probably will be more flooding notices
tonight too also, So that's the situation we've got now.
If you want to be a part of it, that's
if there's something I just want to mention tonight too good.
I'd like to know if a Facebook group saved your life.
I have asked that if you're not the Bells Palsy won,

(40:15):
but you got one of those groups that was so
good it gave you information you had no idea about.
People love that sort of stuff, they are saying now
stateho Is sixty three through Waidoa Valley to Statehoi sex
at Kawa Titi Staatehoy sixty also closed. The Atarkica, pure
pure valley road with no DeTao available. So that's all
of information I've got for you. But if you're just

(40:36):
coming from the Rugby, let us know what you've got
information about there and anything else. People would be nice
to hear from you. As I say, oh, eight hundred
and eighty eighteen eighty and nine to nine two to text,
thirteen past nine o'clock, there's texts coming through two people.
Oh now what is this text on about? Some pretty

(41:01):
crazy texts coming through? Some said, how about a positive
introduction Rugby? And do you have any idea where Havelocks South?
Is a stupid thing to say, where else would Rutherford
be from? So yeah, don't show your ignorance people, Gabriel,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
Good evening, Yes, good evening, Marcus. I'm just wondering we
had an internet down today from two o'clock until it's
still down now, yeah, And I was wondering if anybody
else was having that. We're in Auckland or block our
spay and they show it's quite a big outage, but

(41:43):
we haven't heard any further news from them, and I'm
just wondering if there's any time frame, who's they one
New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
God, they've had a bad week, haven't they.

Speaker 15 (41:57):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Really, well, they were they there's big outages in the
South Island. Yes, yeah, and that was earlier this week
or last week. So yeah, they had a couple of
times and they did they did say it was a
separate operator was a provider for them. But still, Dan's
just so, so you're in Blockhouse Bay and it's been
out to top us too. We're going to look up
on the computer for you. Okay, yeah, okay, that have

(42:21):
you still got radio?

Speaker 11 (42:23):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Then what Dan, what can you tell me? Yeah? Midday tomorrow. Gabriel. Wow, yeah, Gee,
that's a disaster for you, wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (42:34):
Well I'm just glad that I wasn't. I didn't have
an online business exactly.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah, Gabriel, Gabriel down, Gabriel down the road in Lynnfield.
It's been since Monday.

Speaker 5 (42:52):
Gee, worse. Okay, it was roadworks.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
It was roadwork. Someone broke a cable.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Oh okay, all right, Well I appreciate that, Marcus, thank
you very much.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I know that's yeah, it's just a couple of blocks
that are affected. So it's just you know, there's not
a big group of you but you know we'll be
thinking of you. Gabriel, thank you. Jeepers. Outages more and
more common A you won't be on the Facebook group,
will he? So what would be a fantastic Facebook group

(43:26):
that saved your life because it showed you there are
other people just like you. What would that be? Do
you think for people? Because the woman said her Bell's
palsy and her Ramsey hunt Facebook very are well. You're
not on your own, are you? When you got someone
else that's got it? Tap tap tip, you go good
having maxuist Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (43:45):
Hello Marcus. Look, it's not a Facebook group that saved
my life, but in the last four or five days,
I've hit some wonderful medical people that saved my life,
and I wanted to just ring up and just give
them a bit of kudos. You know, the Saint John's Ambulance.
I had a medical emergency. These John's Ambulance arrived promptly.

(44:08):
They did a great assessment and they had their finger
on the props as to what was wrong with me.
I was admitted to Wenington Hospital A and E as
they do, and then all the tests and assessments and
everything began. I was there for a number of days,
very very very sick. And look, I just have to
say the staff because at the staff there's a lot

(44:32):
of Filipino nurses, a lot of Indian doctors nurses and Filipinos,
a lot of New Zealanders of course, and other nationalies.
They were absolutely one hundred percent. And the hospital itself,
I feel it was world class.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
And they makes you sound good.

Speaker 15 (44:50):
I look, I bounced back, like, how don't.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
You a boy like a bounce? Tell me did you
dial triple one on your wally phone or did something
else happen? No?

Speaker 15 (45:00):
I dialed triple one on my cell phone.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Did they chop you into the hospital?

Speaker 15 (45:05):
No, they picked up in the ambulance, but they were
here very fast. And the ambulance driver was very experienced.
He told me I'd had eighteen years driving ambulances in England, so.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Oh wow, well like I am wow. Yeah, a well
traveled guy, Yeah.

Speaker 15 (45:24):
Will travel. And the surgeon and Willington Hospital when I
they had they put me into emergency surgery. He came.
He was a bit of a hard case and a
real neat guy, and he he said, you get this
man in urgently. And when they realized what was going

(45:44):
on and they operated. And when I came out, I
thanked him for saving a certain part of my anatomy,
and he said, I saved your life, not just your
that part of you. Goodness, And I've realized, you know.
And I honestly, Marcus, I hear a lot of people

(46:05):
complaining about hospitals and and things like that, and I
just think that they were outstanding. I'm so thankful I'm
in New Zealand. I'm so thankful that for Willington Hospital,
the staff, the management, the way the thing runs. I
think it's an absolute credit to them. I really do.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
What the wilet guy left England, Amber John wonder what
he came across.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
Do you say, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (46:34):
I don't know, but might.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Be better here than they're the ambulance drivers.

Speaker 15 (46:39):
Yeah, he was great. And you had a trainee with
him and the other lady and they were excellent. I
mean they just did a great job.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
So you know, all come fast, how fast they go?

Speaker 15 (46:49):
Oh well we got well they didn't have the whistles
and lights on they No, they didn't.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
You kind of that bad.

Speaker 15 (47:00):
I was pretty bad, but like I wasn't dying in
the ambulance sort of thing. You know, I was coherent
and that, but I was very, very sick, and we
were on the expressway. It was funny laying down, it
felt like being in a sort of like in a
a space capsule. I was thinking about those guys that

(47:21):
went around the moon like that.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
You were, yeah, will you hang on? Because I've never
spoken when you were in the ambulance on the expressway right,
were you traveling head first or traveling foot first?

Speaker 15 (47:36):
Head first?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
I've always liked about that. Could I prefer to go
foot first? I think I think I'd like to be
the foot first first first. You'd like a skeleton, the
louge at the limp, you know, go around the corners.
That way, you'd be like, you're looking where you if
you could see, you'd be looking where you were going.
Whereas head first backwards? Did you did you have an option?

Speaker 1 (47:58):
No?

Speaker 15 (47:59):
No, I had to see God on. But when when
you're that sick, you really couldn't give a hood. No,
you know, you just want to get to the hospital
and get and get and get help. You know, You're
just like And because it was quite looking through the windows,
they're blacked down, and I could see a few lights
and things and that and there was a few bumpy bits,
but generally it was quite a pleasent journey actually, And yeah, no,

(48:23):
so I just sort of wanted to say, you know,
thanks to some John's and the staff. They work, crave shirts, they.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Go after people. Don't people aren't dying nine to five,
are they? It's twenty four hours a day that done this.

Speaker 15 (48:38):
No, And and the hospital staff as well, you know,
and they do put up with quite a bit of
groaning and moaning I think sometimes, and you know when
I just wanted to say, hey, you know, we should
just be thankful, you know, because they were just outstanding.
I just can't speak of the staff highly enough. They
were amazing.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Thanks so much to that mix. Get well twenty three
past nine, twenty five past nine, Louis, it's Marcus good.

Speaker 16 (49:05):
Evening him in the same way Gaybriel set about Wellington.
I'd like to acknowledge, strongly acknowledge Parmiston or Surgical Department
because last year they saved my life. I had an accident.

(49:25):
I fractured my femur. They were doing it, they did
an operation and they they managed even though it was
basically powder. Evidently my bone just completely shattered. They managed
for a big rod in there and then asked for
the surgery. I was hemorrhaging and they couldn't get my
blood pressure up. They couldn't. Must be really close to

(49:49):
a cardiac arrest. But they saved my life. You know,
I take the hat off and really, do you know
I wouldn't be here without them. It's amazing. Yeah, because
the Palmy hospital gets.

Speaker 15 (50:02):
A lot of bad pity.

Speaker 11 (50:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (50:07):
Yeah, So the surgical team, they're outstanding and I think
them and Facebook group, well, I belong to Room Tooid
Art Writers Support New Zealand and they are an amazing
bunch of people, mostly women. Lots of knowledge and lots

(50:29):
of support. You know, it makes you realize that you're
not the only one out there.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
With this thing.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
And is it self moderated?

Speaker 16 (50:39):
Yes, yes, yes, the video of admins, but yeah, it's
really good, really good support of good bunch of people.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
You'd be a frequent flyer on that one, would you're
tapping away?

Speaker 16 (50:51):
Ah, not so much lately, but you know it's if
you need to have a good old vent, that's a
good place to do it because they understand what.

Speaker 8 (51:02):
You're going through.

Speaker 16 (51:03):
Whereas like nobody else in the world does basically. And
also I've had this thing for so long that I
can actually give advice on you know, what I do
to manage it, you know, natural therapies and well.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
You've got to have it with everything really.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
So it's encouraging for for people too because you know,
rather you know, you've got this as an advice, but
your on places like that. But so much now the
help is online and I think everyone realizes that.

Speaker 16 (51:28):
Yes, yes, I mean, there's nothing like helping someone who
you know what they're going through. You know, it's just
much more helpful than going to someone who gives you
this spiel and they have no idea what you're going through.
And it's it's amazing system. Yes, it's a very cruel disease.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
What's the group called a very.

Speaker 16 (51:53):
Matoid arth writer support New Zealand?

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Okay, brilliant, Okay, I appreciate that, Luis, thank you. Twe
out past nine A Crusaders have won the horses. We're back.
If you're there, how are the horses? Did you miss them?
Did you recognize them? Were you happy with them? Just
doing two laps that you wished I gonna do three?
Was the music the same I'm watching them now, aren't

(52:16):
they come from the tunnel? Kind of got dry as
the bones and red and black checks turned left round
they went, holding the flags back and forward. People on
their phones filming filming around we go, look like young
women riding them. Are they run? And around they go?
And that's all on the Crusader's homebook page. First of all,

(52:37):
white horse, Yeah, yeah, the white horse starts the whole
goodness for empty seats will be a sell out. Maybe
this was early, maybe they came later. Plenty of room
for them. I don't know what. The fuss horse look
happy as well. That third one looks a bit rattled.
Be whether you're soon people hold your horse with you
there waiting. I'll get to you. Oh eight hundred eighty

(52:57):
ten eighty not pausing, just suppressing a sneeze. Excuse me
that be in touch. If you want a talk, Yes,
of the crusaders, there we go. You have known a
strong victory. Then I think they found about fourteen men.
But some fourteen men, that's the isn't it someone to
bring up beforehand? And it's a question that's asked all

(53:17):
the time. And since we are not a sports show
that I thought there's probably time now to address this,
and people want to know why the ball is always
kicked away? If you want to go to answering that
for the people that don't know, I mean, I tried,
but I don't think people believe me. So someone said,
we going explaining why the ball is always kicked away
in the modern game of rugby. I think people would

(53:38):
appreciate that. I'm not saying it's going to stop them
screaming at the TV, but yeah, it might be interesting.
You might want to explain the context of the changing
game and why they do this. Also Facebook support groups
with your bell's palty. That's a discussion for tonight. And
the floods and the outage. Maybe we will, ee will

(54:02):
they will? Maybe we will eye will they will? And
the horses at the stadium and nice tart shout outs
about hospitals. But I don't want a whole night about
that because I mean, I think people, I think, if
you go somewhere and they save your life, yeah, you
know you'd be Oh, you'd be incredibly grateful, wouldn't you.

(54:23):
It does not mean, though, that our health system does
not have challenges. I think we need to recognize those
as well. So yeah, just putting it out there also
for the discussion tonight. So yeah, that's the situation twenty
eight to ten. If you want to be a part
of it. Anyone met David Edinburgh. I better mention that
in the UK they're having a lot of David Edinberg

(54:44):
parties as we are in New Zealand. I'm off to
David edonra PARTI tomorrow. I report what that was like
is like, we'll be like, I'm expecting great things. It's
fancy dress. But I guess fancy dress you either go
as an animal as you go as him, which is
prett of a narrow scope, isn't it. But that's it.
That's what's happening tonight. Keep those texts coming through. Eighteen

(55:07):
six Sydney City Roosters over the Titans and the road
is closed around Canvastown. Kathy has texted. Just got back
from the game. Cried when the horses came out, very emotional,
wonderful stadium. Kathy cried, They're beautiful. Goodness, wow, cried Marcus.

(55:32):
The striker gurney is designed for the patient to load
headfirst into the ambulance. Not only has this been the
weight of the patient's torso is supported by the floor
of the ambulances. The gurney legs retract, but all the
onboard equipment is situated for this orientation makes sense, doesn't it,
So you're always facing forward? Marcus. When I was diagnosed

(55:52):
with diagnosed with COPD, I went straight Facebook and found
a group. Back then there is only ww groups. Now
we have enzed COPD. It's a mate of the knowledge
we get from each other. We have tort each other
when to get to hospital and how many lives have
been saved, and many lives have been saved by other members.
I shouldn't make light of it, but probably before long

(56:14):
we won't be going to doctors. We'll just be concerning
our Facebook pages. They'll socialize all the medicine and thought
about that. That's probably what's going to happen, isn't it.
Just have us all on Facebook page, you will monitor
each other save a lot of money. That's a scary thought,
isn't it. But that's the situation. People. If you want
to be a part of the discussion tonight, be my
guest quite literally eight hundred and eighty nine two nine

(56:36):
to text anything else you've got, we can handle that,
handle anything with a clear mind. Maybe, but if you
are driving home from the rugby and you cried when
the horses came out. Yeah, but Facebook groups that have
saved your life. It mightn't be a medical one. It

(56:57):
might be like what would be something else? A behavior
could have that you could be modicate, not like nosy neighbors, doc,
not like but something that you found a page of
kindred spirits. It's learned you to show some moderation and
a behavior that's been causing your trouble. I don't want
to make light of people's behavioral difficult I don't know

(57:17):
what they would be. But it could be sleepwalker, or
you could be a could be a narcolepsy. I don't know.
But if you had, if you had a Facebook page,
it's helped you with that. What was it you had
and what do they recommend? Fightings for every interesting actually
on Facebook? Some great things that he can get onto.
I'm sure of it anyway enough for me. Twenty four
to ten Marc, So I thought it. David didn't address

(57:41):
up part. It would go against your discomfort with dress up?
Is it just time cravel dress up? I wouldn't go
dressed up. I don't think it was positive, exciting result
with the horses returning. It did not come across as
that from you. You were very vague about exactly where
the road outages were between Venom and Nelson. I thought
I was extremely clear. I said it was a canvas town.

(58:05):
Sounds not like a familar to you, new territory to you,
as it was not related to the North Island. Cheap
as creepers. Someone's got South Island paranoiah eight hundred eighty
nine ninety de text the horses and anything else you

(58:26):
want tonight get in touch, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty.
But there is very heavy rain all around the west
coast south of North Island, north of South Island, just
so you know, and road closed on a chair. Check
on the road closures too on the Wakakatahi website, so
you know what is happening. But get in touch. Three

(58:47):
two six two roosters over the Titans, but need your
calls for this hour. We've done well with the palsy
long that last. Not the palsy obviously, but the calls
on the pollsy. Plenty of road closures and warnings. Lewis
Pass under stop go management, lip statehoy seventy three Jackson's

(59:08):
to Aitkins. That's on the west coast in land from Kumara.
We've got a lot of road works on the north
of the South Island road to Statehway sixty Tarcica and
near Pew Pew Valley Road intersection. So that's closed. Also

(59:29):
State Hiway sixty between Upper Tarcica and Uda Fenwa. It's
Tarcica Hill. It doesn't say whether it's closed, it just
says it's a road hazard. And that's what we've got
at the stage. So yes, in the road at Canvas
Town State Highway six Canvas Town between Havelock and Nelson,
that is closed. Also, that's all you need to know.

(59:51):
People the stage nineteen to ten, since it's the one
year anniversary of the Pope and his new job, I
qual like this story. An American bank employee hung up
the phone on Pope Leo the fourteenth when he called
customer service because she thought it was a prank call
Leo fullman On Robert Prevost, born and raised in Chicago,

(01:00:13):
called his hometown bank to let them know he moved
about two months after he became the pope. According to
his friend, Reverend Tom McCarthy, she asked all the security
questions and then she says, oh, I'm sorry, sir. It
says here you have to come and in person he said, well,
I'm not going to be able to do that. I
gave you all the security questions the pond. If he even
try to use his status as the Holy Father let

(01:00:34):
her get it a cave, saying would it matter to
you if I told you I'm Pope Leo and she
hung up on him. Yeah, the same thing able to
Pope Francis when he tried to catch this newspaper. So
that's a good story. You had a story when you've

(01:00:56):
hung up on someone whose I didn't believe who they were.
So I'm into that. I'm well into that. Let's hear
from you people. Why mup be something totally diferent? Want
to talk about on the show tonight? Oh? Is today
the end of you? On eight six four am? There
is Rugby on it? Now? Whereabouts is that? Where's eight

(01:01:19):
six four? Were in the cargo? M AM stations play
the sport on Fridays and Saturdays? Did we know that?
I think? Did we know that? So go to FM
or go to iHeartRadio. There we go fifteen to ten.

(01:01:39):
Just a bit more on frequencies come just coming to
terms with us. So if there's an FM and an
AM frequency in your region, the Rugby will be on
an AM frequency. On the rare occasions there's matches on
the Friday night, so what you need to do is
go and get your FM. So most regions have an
AM and FM, so you need to get on your
FM dial and twiddle it around until you can actually

(01:02:01):
find us on the FM. So that's the situation. Everywhere
there's a name and FM. Even by the way, in
all clond we are now back on a M at night,
so there's AM and FM. But they've been that there's
two transmitters at Lincoln Road and they're combining it into
one transmitter and it's been taking a couple of weeks

(01:02:21):
to do. But it's on at night time. They've fixed
it for the AM at nighttime. They're still be working
in the daytime. But needs your cause to like people's
drive away from at ten, So if you want to
start the ball rolling with anything else, you might be
doing something differently. We've gone all right, but it's just
a bit of a lull. So yeah, rather than me
saying ridiculous things to eat a pull you think what
you might think is interesting and try your luck with that.

(01:02:44):
I was talking about Facebook groups that have saved your life.
As you go home from the stadium, I want to
know what it was like the second time. What were
the horses like, what was the food like? Did you
get a pie sandwich? Do you still think it's the
greatest stadium that has ever been built? Because that was
pretty much the opinion felt like it was two weeks ago.

(01:03:04):
Everything worked well, anything need to be ironed out these
There are all discussions for your intergestions for you tonight
and if there is other stuff you want to mention
talk about, say do good. I embrace your calls. So yeah,
that's the situation. And for those that just joined us,

(01:03:25):
the Crusaders were victorious. Oh by the way, on Sunday
you got the netball as well on the am thirty
six twenty so your netball on the am also know
they're going to be doing that. And State Higway six
is closed at Dalton's Road. There you go ten away
from ten o'clock gym steedn is it here at twelve.

(01:03:45):
I'll be here right through till then. Angela This is
Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Customer dream windy will tou What did you say?

Speaker 10 (01:03:57):
I said, good.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Evening from a very windy RETOUA.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
Oh goodness, Well I didn't expect you to be. Is
it rainy or just windy?

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
I think it's raining as well. But it was very,
very blustering. But just a website that I found really
good on Facebook. We looked after our granddaughter and she
was just over five and a half and she was
diagnosed with type one diabetes. Oh wow, yeah, so I
got scary for granddad and I. Yeah. And so those

(01:04:28):
first couple of months of getting used to managing her
and helping her, you know, inject yourself five times a
day and a tummy and the parent well it's sort
of like appearance group, but you know, anybody who's supporting
somebody with type one diabetes. And it was yeah, it
was really really helpful.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
That sounds unbelievably valuable.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
Oh it was amazing.

Speaker 9 (01:04:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
There were the times when you're saying, oh what am
I going to do? And you just sort of write
something on the Facebook and with them about thirty second
or ten minutes to be up to fifty really good
suggestions or just people just saying hang on there, don't worry,
you'll you'll make.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
It, which is sometimes, which is sometimes all you need too.
Isn't it some that you're on the right track?

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
Yes, Yes, especially people saying like that lady with the
rheumatoid saying yes, we've been there, know what to do.
And then equally, when I would you know, once we'd
sort of become o fay with it and let's safe
fair you know, well, you know, and when somebody else
puts something on the Facebook page, you could say, oh, yeah,

(01:05:37):
I've been in that situation, tray this, yes, as anybody
else there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Because that's one thing I've observed in life. And that's
not me to make one sweeping generalization, but if people
have been given some sort of medical diagnosis, they always
have an incredible ability to come to terms with the
information and up school that don't They'm always amazed how
people know everything about it and what's going on. You'll

(01:06:03):
have a huge ability to retain that information if it's
relevant to them, and then to share it on a
Facebook page. I mean, that's that's perfect, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:06:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
And it was and it was really well managed that
there were not people that could make any stupid comments
or unhelpful or not based on any and from testing.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
The last the last thing you want is idiot sort of.

Speaker 10 (01:06:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:06:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
There was people that you know, weren't saying, well, hop
around on one foot sometimes and everything will be yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:06:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
And so the way were the people from the association
vault was it completely from just from people who were
family and friends of people that it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
Was just like the diabetesness at the hospital said oh,
try this website and you know, you might find it
really helpful. And yeah, and as I say, it was,
it was just wonderful. It was just so comforting. And
you know, when and I think there's possibly other meta
call conditions where there's you know, obviously there's other things

(01:07:10):
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
But yeah, and I'm sure it's great for the medical
professionals that overworked, like you know, being a diabetes nurse
at the hospital, there's all sorts of you know, if
you're going a frequently and a page like that, you'd
sort of up school for I would.

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
Think, yeah, And I mean, you know, the pediatrician was
would ring probably every night for the first three weeks
after she was discharged from hospital, and you could ring
the diabetes nurse, and but that was sort of more
working time now, but yeah, I think you know when
your kids five and a half and just imagine it

(01:07:43):
with your.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
Boys, unbelievab Yeah. Yeah, And I do know a little
bit about diabetes too, you know, and I do know
how challenging it is also, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Yeah, yeah. But she's you know, almost nineteen and at
university doing physics and engineering, and she wants to run
the rocket leg because she being a type one diabetic,
she can't go to the moon and she can't go
to Antarctica.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
Yeah, so she thought, oh well she'll run lock at
there and seat of going up in the rocket. But
who knows, maybe soon there will be others just like that.
The continuous through post monitors, the cnngs at the government.
I think a couple of years ago, that's just been
a god sender, just a life changer.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Love your talking. I found the extremely popular asked the
question That's exactly the call I wanted. So that's great.
I'm extremely happy about that. So if you've got some
other Facebook page that you got in touch with, it
changed your life. And this sweet way with the used
radio to put people in touch with those sorts of
groups also brilliant. Couldn't be happier Cocker Hope, get in touch,
Hittill twelve four to ten. Oh, it's probably a lot

(01:08:55):
more useful than chet AIGPT too, I would think be
in touch. Also talking about the horses at Takaha one Stadium. Yes,
so these are all things we can talk about tonight.
I would love to hear from you. So, yeah, that's
the situation. Do you get in touch? Oh? Eight hundred

(01:09:16):
and eighty ten eighty and to detext the Crusaders have
won and they've had their horses. Has there ever been
a better time? Has there ever been a time where
it's been better to be a Cantabrian? What could go wrong?
You got the stadium that goes like it's ever gone before,
and you've got the team that's going on it's never
gone before, and everyone wants to move there to live

(01:09:38):
brand so and you got the food fighters coming and
six sixty and no matter and no doubt all sorts
of other groups. But yes, so it be in touch
if you want to talk about Facebook groups have changed
your life. We've got into this through Bell's palsy and
the Hunt one. The Hunt palsy Ramsey Hunt. Well, this

(01:10:01):
is exciting. Now we're getting the administer of the page
is getting touch Marcus. Just want to thank you for
to get the text for a member of NZCPD. I
am one of two admins and we already had results
requests from others to join. COPTD is totally. COPD is
often totally was understood as the top cause of death
in New Zealand, but it's not a death sentence. There's

(01:10:22):
a lot of helping to put out there. Thank you again,
Lindy Edmund NZCPD. Just read Justin Bieber has Ramsey Hunt.
I thought he had Marcus trigeminal neuralgia as a rear,
very painful condition. The trigeneral Neuralgia Facebook page has been
a godsend. Some people have family who are not re understanding.

(01:10:44):
We find some put of friends on the Facebook group.
Those without coming surgery can ask about it from others
who have undergone it, and people share their experiences with surgery,
different medications, good and bad. It's a lonely condition. I
don't want to google you these conditions in case I
convince myself to have them so but yeah, I'm sure
try gentle neualgia, but it looks looks serious. Get in

(01:11:10):
touch Hittle twelve. I'll wait one hundred eighty to ten
eight if we are talking about when Facebook groups saved
your life? Anything else, I'll wait one hundred eighty to
ten eighty and nine to nine text if you want
to come through anything else, brilliant. Also the horses at
the stadium, the floods, and any other stuff that you

(01:11:33):
want to talk about tonight. That's what we're about. So yeah,
be in touch. If you want to come through. You
might want to talk about the Facebook diabetes page also too.
That seems to have been a godsend. It's the one
where people use it at godsend. That's what you're using
those circumstances. Rain, We've got road clothes, you've got anything else,
But do come through. We want to talk about Facebook
groups or if there's something else you want to mention

(01:11:53):
tonight too. I've kind of I'm not topic I'm not
topic weary, but it's been a this week. This week
has been hungry for topics, and sometimes you don't want
to force a topic. You want the actual net topics
to filter up. I'm a great believer in that. So
sometimes you thrash a topic like I did with Tuesday
with MMP. Basically no one keys about MMP. They're stuck

(01:12:17):
with it, haven't got strong opinions, and to be honest,
a lot of them don't understand how it works. So
you know you can't hit someone with the topics that
because I were a bell and they did that night.
So yeah, there you go. Just what have you got?
But maybe it's about Facebook groups that saved your life
or made your life bearable. And the horses and how
it was as they went round and around twice not
three times. That's what we've got tonight. You might be

(01:12:40):
out there doing something interesting. You might be an uber
driver feeding the economy shrinking as we go. You might
be heading off to the duck shooting my miae for
the second week in a row. But anything like that,
that's the plan. So yeah, just make yourself known to me.
Call the producer will get you going on air. Oh
eight hundred eighty nine to detext the Rugby and the

(01:13:04):
netball is on AM. This is a new thing for me,
I don't think in my time here we've tried that.
So yes, on a Friday, on a Sunday. They play
the netball on the AM and the rugby on the AM.
So if you're hearing if you're not hearing me, this
will sound strange. But if you're not hearing me, find
an FM station to hear me on. I feel like

(01:13:25):
not many you're hearing me. And if you ever hung
up on someone because I think they're pranking you, actually
with someone famous like the Pope, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Ddy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Someone said it's n z SL week twenty years is
one of our official languages. What everyone learned. Not as
much as you'd think, actually, but yeah, it seems amazing.
It's only twenty years since you said the sign language
was official. So there we go. But be in touch
if you want to talk twelve past ten with your
til midnight, but particularly keen to hear from any of

(01:14:00):
their Crusaders fans heading home tonight with your horses. I
think there was six of them going. I think it's
an the number the normally is. But'd be in touch.
Gagan Deep it's Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:14:14):
How are you very good?

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
Yourself? All good?

Speaker 7 (01:14:17):
I'm very good. I just had a dinner with my brother,
so I had a good time with my brother today.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Oh God, did you go out for dinner?

Speaker 7 (01:14:24):
Yes, my brother just had a new baby girl, so
we had a good time with the new baby as well.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
Oh was the baby girl at dinner too? Yeah she didn't, No,
she was there. That's the main thing. That's delightful.

Speaker 11 (01:14:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:14:40):
So I just want to say thank you for you.
What are we doing and telling everyone about the constitution
in country and the world, because I'm listening to you
from last four years and it's great honor that I'm
part of that conversation whenever you talk with the people

(01:15:01):
at the night time. So so you're doing great job. Yeah,
and keep it up. And just want to ask you
one question. What do you think who will win this election?
What's your prediction?

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
I think a lot will happen between now we'll go
six months away. I would think. I think there's going
to be a huge amount could happen with global news
and stuff. And I wouldn't like to predict how bad
or good things would be in six months time, but
I imagine, I imagine we won't be in a great
place in six months time. I hope we are. What
about you? What do you think?

Speaker 7 (01:15:36):
I just want to be one party rather than coalition
government because coalition always create problem for the country. That's
what my thoughts about that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Although it would be very unlikely for their best single party.
If you look at the polls, the major parties are
a million miles away from being a single party. People
are talking about people are talking now about a grand coalition,
but I think that's just because they've got columns to
write in short of time. You know, a grand coalition
when National and Labor gets together. I'd be very surprised

(01:16:08):
if that happens.

Speaker 7 (01:16:09):
That's true, that's true. But anyway, hope for the best
for the country. Whoever times just makes country better and better.
And I'm become a part of this beautiful country. And
I'm from born and brought up in Punjab, and I
knew that this country give me a lot of things
to me and my family and my friends. So thank
you so much.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
And Gagabi, what's the girls? What's your brand?

Speaker 7 (01:16:33):
Your niece's name qudrit So it means that nature is
the meaning of nature.

Speaker 2 (01:16:43):
Good, beautiful. Thank you so much. That fourteen past ten,
there we go a little bit of politics and a
new baby. It's exciting. Get in touch Marcus till twelve,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus shut up. Please
to the Rakaia Ravens woman rugby team and the convincing
ron over the timdou Harlequins. Go you Rikhaya Ravens brilliant

(01:17:06):
they've played tonight, maybe they have. And we're talking about
Facebook pages. If you've got a medical condition or not,
what's the polight word for personality disorder? These days, you'll
be careful if we shouldn't have to be careful. You
just got to get it right. But you know, I'm
not talking about a personal disorder. But anyway, I want

(01:17:27):
to talk about Facebook pages that have helped you understand
and move through a situation that you have got. You're
a lot of bad stuff about Facebook. It does a
heck a lot of good as far as putting communities together.
I don't want to me don't want to over I
don't want to over celebrate it's good. But when you're
into those pages, that's a good thing to have. That's

(01:17:47):

Just see I've got any other emails coming through of
people still sitting texts about love my economics teach out
of Russian larder. I don't think any of the pill
that bought larders were prepared for how much fact they're
going to get because of it. Oh so, yes, Marcus.

(01:18:18):
The property between New Zealand residents and citizenship is that
residency is a visa allowing you to live, work and studying, definitely,
while citizenship is a permanent and revocable legal status that
grants you in passport an absolute right of entry. Citizens
also gain voting rights and government jobs that residents may not.
Thank you, Elden, It's an extremely well worded email, so

(01:18:39):
I thank you for that one. And it's seventeen past ten.
It's nineteen past ten people, good evening and welcome. I'll
tell you what Brent Crude is at. It's about time
and I do that, isn't it. I don't know if
it's good or bad In Australihall moves. It's impossible for
me to tell. Now it's just over one hundred dollars
good and that means that things are not as bad

(01:19:00):
as they were yesterday. But not that good altogether. Let's
just put it that way. So, yeah, that's a situation.
I've got no other news. I think it was a
bit of some ships been hit today. I'll bever it
of a read around see if I get some more
information for you about that. But yeah, if you want
to be on air, that would be the situation tonight.

(01:19:22):
Talking Facebook groups that were really helpful for you. Thirty
minutes ago in New York Times, Trumps insists ceasefire holds
despite exchange of fire with Iran. To cease fire, but
they're shooting their boats. Have I ever belonged to I've
belonged to neighborhood Facebook groups, but not not. I think

(01:19:44):
I've got a problem groups. Hello, Diane, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Hi Diane. Hello, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:19:52):
Oh hi Marcus. I voiced a bit funny. I'm just
going to say I've got PPPD, which is persistent postural
perceptual dizzyness. And I found that on Facebook to a group,
which I was grateful to see because you felt you
weren't alone.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
SmartLess that's half the battle.

Speaker 13 (01:20:14):
Yeah, but there's no cure for it. And the thing
that I can't understand is I can't find any from
anyone from New Zealand who has it?

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
Oh are they all overseas on your group? Yeah, there all.

Speaker 13 (01:20:29):
Seem to be overseas. It's an illness that that's only
been studied since twenty seventeen, so it's fairly new. It's
with me. It's caused by a severe anxiety and trauma,
you know, personal trauma. So it's like a you know,
an anxiety sort of thing. But it's pretty terrible because

(01:20:52):
you're dizzy all the time and the only time you're
comfortable is when you're lying down.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Oh that sounds horrible.

Speaker 9 (01:20:59):
No, but it'd be.

Speaker 13 (01:21:00):
Interesting for someone to bring up from from from locally
or somewhere and say.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
They well, at least if there's someone listening and they
know they can get on your Facebook page two PPPD.
Is there is there any suggestions on that page that
have given you any comfort?

Speaker 13 (01:21:16):
Well, the comfort was knowing other people had it okay,
and that I wasn't the only one. That is wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
Yeah, but there's nothing. There's no techniques.

Speaker 13 (01:21:26):
Something whether you talk to each other and you try
and say what might have helped you a little bit
or something, But a lot of people do write on
there that are trying to sell you something.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Yeah, that should be moderated better that they're not drug
You should be protected from that stuff because people unfortunate
this will people always try and make money out of
people that are with Ailmen say that.

Speaker 9 (01:21:45):
They're not well.

Speaker 13 (01:21:46):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Can you sit up? And you can't sit up and
go on Facebook? You've got to do it all lying down,
do you Well?

Speaker 13 (01:21:51):
I can sit up and do things that I have
to do, but I spend most of my time lying
down because the only time I get.

Speaker 2 (01:21:59):
Peace, and you're always dizzy when you're up.

Speaker 9 (01:22:02):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
Did the doctors actually know anything about it? Or were
you the first one?

Speaker 13 (01:22:08):
No, they don't know anything about it. I'm not the
first one because they know about it to diagnose me.
But when I go onto Facebook, I haven't found anyone
from New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:22:19):
Goodness. So it's post postural.

Speaker 13 (01:22:27):
Persistent postural perceptual dizziness.

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Persistent postural What was the third word? Perceptual dizziness ppe
like a rocking and swaying.

Speaker 13 (01:22:44):
Yes, rocking and dizzy and you fall over easily and
you get headaches and you can't read your eyes go funny,
and your brain takes over your eyes and you can't
read a book or anything. So I listen to audience.

Speaker 2 (01:23:02):
Talk back will be a great comfort. How long have
you had it not talk back?

Speaker 6 (01:23:05):
But the PPP years or six years?

Speaker 13 (01:23:08):
Six years?

Speaker 2 (01:23:09):
Are you? Are you someone that are you running the
group or you just engage with it now?

Speaker 13 (01:23:13):
I'm not running the group. I just just read it
when I can. I can read it. I can read
a book, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Brilliant, Diane. I found that really interesting. So that's the
plan for tonight. Facebook groups sort of great, giving you
great comfort that have found something that you're into, whether
it be a disorder or an illness or a even
just a group. Finding the nz AUS Dementia support group
was wonderful in formative before I was helping it through
my mother for five long years. Marks eighty one reason

(01:23:44):
had a permanent stumer put in place of Starva page
on Facebook is fairbosots of tips and friendships formed amazing
people over the world. Dawn Nelson Heart other heart clap
clap shout out to the key with wheat bag helping
with my belt palsy. Accidentally had it too close to the microwave,
got it burnt since I only had one eye open,
loll sort of throw it in the bin, but then
sort of me out. But they sort of me out

(01:24:05):
real quick. Never had a wood woot before, woot woot
like an owl. There we go. That's where I talk
about Facebook page that I'm learning about things I've never
heard before about. Yeah, I've forgot what was already, but yeah,
people know they'n google that one up to persistent dizziness,
persistent postural perceptual dizziness. Goodness, So there we go, and

(01:24:32):
it's so like a walk in the park, does it?
North Queensland six parameter ten? What was the rugby that's
on at the moment? Dan, We've got a school there,
Reds versus the Chiefs. The Chiefs lead at halftime ten seven,
and with it's been played at ten o'clock at night,
I presume that is in Queensland. Someone was making a

(01:24:56):
very good comment but about the h the TV instead
rugby editor was making the comment how everyone's watching the
Warriors and he's made the point, well why does no one?
Why then no rugby matches on a Sunday because the
NFL spread some free well over four nights the Thursday Friday,
Saturday Sunday. Where is the other ones? You just get
them Friday Saturday. You might want to comment on that.

(01:25:16):
Now you've got Takaha one Stadium. So yes, I wonder
who's going to be in news Enter of the Year
next year? Eh? All this year? And looks like the
age of super is going to go up if national
gets in lifting the retirement age for sure. So they

(01:25:37):
were going to lift in twenty thirty seven. So who
knows when we're going to be when our generation is
going to be able to retire. It might be a
long long way away. Yes, that's the planned people. And
if you're just listening to well, if you've just tuned
into FM and you everybody to get us on AM,
we are playing the rugby and the netball on the AM. Now, Marcus,

(01:25:59):
I've had PPPD. Dizzey has had it for two years.
Most of it was anxiety based, the Disney anxiety, so dizzy, anxious,
dizzy anxious. Cognitive behavioral therapy was great. Help to trust
my body again, looting to feel confident in soci situations,
rewire your brains and beliefs, and the dizzy sensations so
start to fate over months of understanding this, or maybe

(01:26:21):
she felt better been on talk back too. You never know. Ay,
So there we go. That's that's happening also too. But
as far as the Middle East goes, I'm not seeing
a huge amount of more information. I feel I've been
saying that for years and years and years now. I
don't know when the where the rat shippers?

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
Do?

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
We know where the rat shippers? Can we track the
rat ship? The ship is expected dock in tenor Reef
on Sunday. That's the Canary Islands.

Speaker 10 (01:26:45):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
It's called the Canary Islands because there were dogs there.
That comes up in the quiz, doesn't it. We got
that one right, yes, named after dogs from the Latin
Island of the Dogs, because the Romans encountered large wild dogs.
Even though there is a canary on the island, which
is named after the island. So yeah, go figure. So

(01:27:09):
don't go there to see the canaries, but you can,
but don't go see the dogs either, because they'd probably
be extinct. A lot of people responding to the woman
with PPPD, someone said that dizziness is called it is
called verdigo. No, I think this will be something different otherwise,
she would have been on the Vertigo page clearly. So

(01:27:29):
what were the Virgin islands named after? Marcus? It's a
very good question. I don't know the answer that that's
never come up on the quiz, but I'm sure you
can google yourself. People. Oh twenty nine eleven, you said
a lot of twelve people? Do let me think, what

(01:27:50):
are the Virgin islands named after? Columbus of the archer Son,
to Ursula, Wailer, Monts, milvig Yenna, sat Ursula and the
eleven thousand Virgins. Columbus was impressed by large number of
islands of running over of the story of the saint
and the many companions. I don't know who sin Urshla was,

(01:28:10):
she's a princess. But yes, that's about as much as
I can google in a very short time. Ten ten,
Parametter and North Queens are looking for to your called people,
Oh eight hundred twenty seven away from eleven o'clock. It
seems though someone's got the rat virus on Tristan Tacuna,
which is pretty amazing, and that would be a worry

(01:28:30):
for it's a place that's got no airport. Hello, Valet's Marcus, Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 11 (01:28:35):
I Michael. The lady, let's say, was on. It was
a lady. I've just come to bed, had verty.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
Go now, a woman, a woman rang up. We're talking
about Facebook pages that have actually helped you. And she
rang up and she had something called oh I don't
know where I've gone with a good It was called
yeah it's like, yeah, it's a perpetual, but it's not
actually called vertigo.

Speaker 11 (01:28:59):
Okay, well, just for somebody else that might want it.
I've had vertigo all for nine for years, and the
treatment that I was given was sit on the edge
of the bed and you lean right over one side
and stay there for two or three seconds or more,
and you sit up, stay still and go to the

(01:29:22):
other side, and it shifts the balance in your head.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Yeah. What what she had was persistent postural perceptual dizziness.

Speaker 11 (01:29:36):
Well, no, I don't know, I've never did that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Yeah, but I mean it didn't seem to be a
laughing matter for her. She said it was.

Speaker 11 (01:29:46):
Awful. Yeah, the vertigo sounds a bit the same, but yeah,
it's horrible. When you get across you you can't even
lay down without the room moving, you know, it just
goes round around in circles.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
How often do you get that?

Speaker 11 (01:30:02):
Oh, I'm not as bad as I used to. I
used to get it about every four or five months whatever. Yeah,
but I had a bad attack about three weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (01:30:12):
And how long? How long will it last?

Speaker 11 (01:30:15):
Over nights? Was terrible because I'm not physical enough to
get up and do it by the side of the bed.
You know, I'm in my nineties and wow, but you know,
if you can sit on the side of the bed
and lay over until you feel safe enough to sit

(01:30:36):
up and stay there for a few seconds and go
to the other side, it shifts a balance for me.
Whatever it is in your head.

Speaker 2 (01:30:45):
I think there are crystals in your ears. I think
you need to move though. I think that's what it is,
isn't it.

Speaker 11 (01:30:50):
Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Yeah, you've got to receive your crystal got to receive
your crystals. What do they call those crystals? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:30:57):
Is here? You haven't I had a bad attack a
couple of nights ago. I was dreadful.

Speaker 4 (01:31:03):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
It's funny. There's no permanent cure for that, isn't it.
I mean, it does seem like you can do that,
but then it comes back again.

Speaker 11 (01:31:11):
Oh, I've had it. For years. Yah, it's one of
those things. I've had treatment for it from an osteopath,
but no, it still comes back even now and again. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
Please, you sound in such great spirits, so val okay,
nice to talk, Thank you so much. There we go
twenty to eleven, twenty to eleven. Facebook groups that saved
your life. That's the major topic tonight. And how no
one's rung up about the horses, which I'm taking as
a personal failure. You want to bring up and say
the best horses ever it made my night, or they

(01:31:45):
went as good as they were at the last stadium,
or they're different horses or ww PPPD. My story and
Recovery from New Zealand is a fascinating, helpful Google read.
Brilliant Marcus. Our current sixty five year olds don't want
to retire, so what's the solution. It's no wonder our
younger people can't find jobs when the old oldies won't

(01:32:06):
give it up. Very good point, very good point. And
ppp D and Facebook groups that changed your life. I mean,
that's mainly what I mean. If he's going to tell
if he's going to make a fortune, old look ald be,
we might as well use the Facebook for it. It is
good at putting people together with like minded kind of groups,
support groups. I suppose what are those people that they

(01:32:32):
what are those people that what's the thing where they
can't can't focus? What are those people called? They're they're
all over the internet. Aren't they doing tests for themselves?
Decide they can't focus? It's got a flash name the
non focuses twelve to tenquins and other parameter eels good evening, Margaret,
is Marcus welcome?

Speaker 3 (01:32:53):
Oh I stayed through for your Marcus?

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Yes, yes you are tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
Oh hi, I didn't hear the start of the ladies call.
But who's the end is? Who are having this pp
p D?

Speaker 11 (01:33:05):
What is it?

Speaker 14 (01:33:05):
Pp the thing?

Speaker 10 (01:33:07):
Postlar?

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Hang on? I got to bring that up now again
because it's I kept googling it. They're not work out
where I've googled it. It's but just told your horses, hm,
it's very hard to remember. Persistent postural perceptual dizziness.

Speaker 3 (01:33:27):
Yes, that's it. And I went to a neurologist in
Wellington about three years ago and he sent me to
a woman that was in the cavity post well He
referred me on to someone that does treatment for this.

Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
It was movement.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
Basically, I didn't see her that she recommended me on
to where I'm from, and there was only one person
that actually knew how to do it in town. But
this lady on the Kevity Coast. She was training apple
the specialists and doctors and Wellington at the time about this.

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
Ppp D, training them up to do what to.

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Do, the exercises and talking to them about what it is,
doing them a knowledge of what it is, and she
there's balloobs of notes like pages and squeeze of it
to tell you what it's all about. Sure, and then
need exercises that you do to help yourself, which you
usually get from the physio. But she yeah, he the

(01:34:29):
neurologists found out through of course that she did in
Wellington and she was training them all up. But there
was only one, I believe, person that knew of this
and Mongu. I gave the notes to my doctor, he
hadn't heard of it. So this is about three years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:34:48):
Did yours go away now?

Speaker 11 (01:34:51):
Not?

Speaker 3 (01:34:51):
The movement part hasn't, but the dizzyness has. But I
had a tub year with the dizziness. I was put
on this drug which made me dizzier, so dizzier right
through the body. But that's gone because I got a
set dug that I should never have been on, and
so I find my movement on. If you're into one side, dunely,

(01:35:12):
you get the problem. Now, lady who to say she
has to be careful getting out of bed and take
it easy. Yeah, but I didn't hear her name or well.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
She's a she's on a Facebook page. Yes, it's the
p P P D page that you want to be
because there's not no one else from music. She's the
only one from New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
She is, well she is, and this is other people
pretending to be from somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (01:35:44):
But I'm sure there's something that stupid.

Speaker 10 (01:35:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:47):
No, well you said that you've got it in perspective though,
ways at least you can laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
Oh yeah, Well.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
I've had dia mist diagnoses and all sorts of things
going on, so I feel like I have to take
and pretty glightly with the medical.

Speaker 2 (01:36:03):
Rick Hering group on Facebook. You'll be and you'll but
you'll love there there. They're supportive. It's just pe Dan
what was it called Dan? I'm speaking of reduced to
make sure, I've got the What was it called PPPD
support group? Was something Dan? Yeah, if you can't give
you if what was it called?

Speaker 16 (01:36:19):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
If you search on Facebook for PPPD, I think you'll
find it. Mad would thank you so pp I think
it's PPPD symptoms and support group. I should get a
ground just driving over the rugby And yes, the horses
did make the rugby. The crowd will whipped up by
their parents of them, and the night went from strength
to strength. Will ppp D make the quiz? No, it's

(01:36:43):
a bit of a down buzz. I don't know what
would make the quiz from groups, and I don't ever
know if the Eminence trip will make the quiz. Where
were the doctors and the nurses from the Philippines and
India and New Zealanders? I think was the exact expression. Oh,
hang on, I've got another text about the horses. Mark

(01:37:06):
is just got home from the Crusaders match. Horses made
the crowd go wild, but after one lap they were
re underwhelming, trotted at a slow pace and didn't stop
to face the stands, just did three laps and left.
What could have been awesome was a bit of a
let down. Finally, the truth, and I think it was
three laps. I think was they had to cantac because
it's scared they're going to take off down the vomitories.

(01:37:28):
There should be cameras on their horses heads to get
the horse perspective. A but they're back but underwhelming. Don't
tell old mate from Ashburton sal But both those texts
a the same because both said the crowds went wild,
So that's true. That's why I thought I read the
text already cheapest creepers. I mean, what would be the

(01:37:50):
we like going to the polo and having a group
of rugby players run around at the beginning, wouldn't it
the crowd worked up fifteen to eleven head on midnight?
Oh I betck at you people? Twelve from eleven and
we're talking about dizziness. But manyely we're talking about faook
groups that saved your life and I've enjoyed these. Someone
said the horses might be tired from all the drugs

(01:38:12):
they are given. Are they given drugs to sedate them?
Are they?

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
Do?

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
We know that? That sounds like a provo provocative thing
to say if it's not true, But I don't know.
I'm no horse whisperer. Will they be drugged or is
that just a bit of misinformation. It's too late now
you've kind of put that doubt out there, haven't you.
I'll find out twelve to twelven if you want to
be a part of it. Very heavy rain was extremely,

(01:38:37):
very windy. I think she said the one that rang
in the last hour. Is it still half time with
the chiefs? Seventeen seven to the Chiefs over the reds away.
It's a way for them. I'd look at the ladder,
but the super rugby ladder. But I've never understood how
it works. But someone was asking if they could explain
rugby while they always kicked the ball away? Does someone

(01:39:00):
ever go explaining that to our people that hate it?
I've got no idea. Why did I tried to explain it,
But I don't think people listen to me. But I
try to explain rugby. I don't think I know what
I'm talking about, which is fair enough, But try and
give it a good shot. They kick the ball away
because that's the way they win the matches. They can
test the high ball. So yeah, and bet to learning

(01:39:22):
to say about that people, But yeah, be in touch
if you want to talk about this or anything else.
Ten away from eleven, Jim Stedden away from twelve. That's
not far away now. But if you want to be
a part of the discussion before then would love to
hear from you. There might be something entirely different you
want to talk about. And it's all good. The horses

(01:39:42):
and rugby and groups. Oh here's a nice text. Thank
you for this, Allie, love your phone number. After being
airlifted from Dunston Hospital and Clyde three years ago and
add open heart surgery, mitral valve replacement, emotional depression and anxiety,
I joined the Zipper Club on Facebook. It's interesting because

(01:40:05):
you don't go to be that The Zipper Club great
information for people around the world, helpful and informative, with
great feedback on how one can cope and help with recovery.
That's the Zipper Club. I presume that's if you had
open heart surgery. I guess that's when they refer to
the Zipper Marcus. I experienced benign prooximal positional vertigo, which

(01:40:27):
is a little different to what that lady called earlier.
Not sure what cause it is going to cook quite
suddenly and if I don't do certain exercises multiple times
a day, throwing oneself back was onto a bed and
steering at a fixed spot. Then these attacks can last
for a week for unpleasant. This excellent woman who helped
me with the condition, and she's based in christ Church. Ah. Yes,
but we're talking about facebook pages that saved your life.

(01:40:51):
If you want to string up and say, Marcus, the
Facebook page that helped me was an insert Facebook page
eight away from eleven.

Speaker 3 (01:41:00):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
Hello, Ella, this is Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:41:06):
And look, why why are they having horses running around
the stadium because there's not very healthy for either footballer?

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
Is they're going to.

Speaker 9 (01:41:14):
Plan that ground?

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
What's your concern.

Speaker 9 (01:41:18):
Horses run around the stadium?

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
What's your concern?

Speaker 9 (01:41:22):
What is the reason?

Speaker 2 (01:41:24):
What?

Speaker 9 (01:41:25):
What's the reason for horses running around the stadium?

Speaker 2 (01:41:28):
Oh, I don't know, because there can to be. People
love it. They love it.

Speaker 9 (01:41:34):
What a little bitter because of the guys are gonna
plan that ground?

Speaker 11 (01:41:38):
Am I?

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
They've done it for about thirty years, I think, Ella,
they've always done it. But that the christ you people
absolutely adore it.

Speaker 9 (01:41:45):
Is that just a new thing?

Speaker 11 (01:41:47):
Is it?

Speaker 14 (01:41:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
I think they've been doing it for As I said,
I think they've been doing for about thirty years.

Speaker 9 (01:41:53):
Never heard of it really. Oh so the guys got
to plane their ground and horses making a miss of it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
They're not making a mess of it. They're going around, well,
I don't think they're making a mess. They're just going
around for quickly, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:42:07):
Quickly, but still as a little doing. You on that
gun and those guys are going to play football on
that ground. Those are very yucky, I think it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:17):
Well, yeah, okay, I'm surprise. Where have you been? I mean,
I don't want to sound despair, but I mean it's
all the ones talked about for the last ten years,
is what's going to happen to the horses?

Speaker 9 (01:42:28):
Horses around the little stadium? What's that?

Speaker 2 (01:42:31):
Really?

Speaker 9 (01:42:32):
Ah? Some year, isn't that? What seems like a new
thing to mine?

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
Done? A new thing?

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
Ella?

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
But thank you Chayenne. Goodness. Wasn't what I was expecting.
And I want to wear as Facebook groups or anything else.
But yeah, if you want to talk, that's my name.
Marcus Welcome head twelve, eight hundred and nine to de
text persistent postural perceptual divot dizzy diess for all those

(01:43:07):
asking about that. Always good to hear something new, isn't it,
And that's the major discussion for tonight. Also, we're talking
about if someone would be kind enough to explain to
people that don't understand why they keep kicking the ball away,
because I haven't lost the appetite to explain it, but
I think I've lost the room with explaining that, and

(01:43:29):
I think people believe me. But it's the way to
win the match is to kick it away. Marcus, as
a mother with small children at home ten years ago
and a young husband with reoccurring strokes eight the Facebook
group Stroke for Caregivers helped me more than I could
ever explain. Knowing you're not alone, asking for advice and

(01:43:51):
having people understand makes all the difference. We're navigating such
hard circumstances well being a mum and working. Kylie, it's
great to see the horses again. Made my night and
completed the crusaders' experience. You see, because not so long ago,
most people happy that they've gone, Oh no, now we're back.
Guess who's back. So that's that. That's the horses that

(01:44:16):
were pretty more twists and tails in that story. I
would think get in touch if you want to talk.
