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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Seven greetings, could even mana miss Marcus welcome here till
twelve o'clock tonight. I imagine you we've very exciting about
excited about the increased fines for parking and disabled spaces
often comes up in the chat, although I'd say, also,
I haven't got this rectified. I would imagine with private

(00:35):
car parks like supermarkets, it's a supermarket's job to police that,
and I'm sure they probably don't. It's whole different world
with a supermarket. The tow trucks don't go there, so yeah,
they've they've got other concerns. So I don't even know
if it's going to be that applicable, but there we
go to some of you will be a warning, it

(00:55):
will be a directive. Imagine people very excited about that
seven hundred and fifty dollars. Anyway, that might be something
you might want to mention tonight. Here till midnight. My
name is Marcus, Welcome. The number is ORE eight hundred
eighty ten eighty. If you want to come through and
talk on it tonight, brilliant head on midnight tonight looking

(01:18):
for dugals. Here's a question. Vanessa goes away to Montreal
for two weeks, comes back today, pick her up the airport,
drive from in the car Golder Bluff. Guess what thing

(01:43):
she bought from Canada that's spilled all through her bag
and all through my car? Guess what it would be?
What do you think would be the thing that you
would buy from Canada that would spill all through your
bag and then the car. What do you think that

(02:06):
would thing would be? Because I imagine if you think
that you're probably right, what would someone buy in Canada
that they never should have brought in a plane that exploded?
This is the world's least unexpected headliner of all time.

(02:30):
Anybody's got any suggestions? What it would be that exploded?
Wasn't good? What do you think it would have been?
I'm curious to see where're thinking goes with this one
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two
de text? What would you bring back from Canada that
would explode? Montreal? No less, anyone got any suggestions? Wrong

(03:07):
answers only I'm looking at the text one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight nine texts in a row. What would you
buy in Montreal? Wrong answers only John AT's Marcus, good.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Evening, go mate, mal sew up.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Don't get me started. Why would you Why would you
bring that? Thanks John? And yeah so and I don't
know what would have happened if it would have exploded
at altitude. I didn't do the forensics. I just thought,
what's that in the back of the car. It was everywhere.

(03:59):
In fact, gold miner Gavin came round for dinner, or
just before dinner. He said, look, there's only one thing
you can do. He said, what you want to do
is you want to drive it to an apiary and
get the bees to clear it out. It's all on
the wheel. Well, it's just everywhere maple syrup. Then she

(04:21):
has the audacity to say.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
At least will give you a topic for tonight. At
least you will give your topic for to night.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Frick fidget spinner. So there we go. So the topic tonight.
It wasn't all spilt. She had about five I said,
why are you bringing maple syrup? She said, well, there
was a woman there and she insisted I bring it.

(04:59):
We got on very well. Someone says fermented Kim Child
to prefood Communian for me to. I hate the spill
of maple s I don't think it's a nice taste.
I think that's half the problem with Canada is maple
syrup never tastes good. So the topic for tonight and
Dan can fect checket your worst spills, the things you've spilt,

(05:25):
whether it be power guts in the car or maple
syrup and your luggage, or what's the worst. What's the

things you've spilt, the ones that have been total weekend ruinous.

container for oil for fuel too, stroke and I'll take

nozzle out because I'll be using multiple fills of the
chainsaw or something. And then I put it back in
the car, still there with the funnel on it the spout,
it'll tip and when petrol goes in your car, Boy,

Good evening, talk me through it, Mike.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Yeah, good evening.

Speaker 7 (10:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:54):
I just heard the segment and I thought i'd give
a call because it was a bit of a funny story.
So I'm an electrician by trade, and during the floods
here in Auckland last year, you know, we had to
go to a few of the rental properties we look
after and just check that everything was electerally safe. And
one of the things that we had to set up
was one of this sort of industrial sort of size

(11:16):
dehumidifiers to try and get some of the moisture out
of the carpets and things like that. So a week
later we went back to remove the deomidifier because things
had dried out and as I was sort of trying
to move the deomidifier.

Speaker 9 (11:32):
Out of the house.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
I've spilt all the water back onto all the carpets.

Speaker 9 (11:41):
So yeah, they better let me live that one down
at work.

Speaker 10 (11:44):
I tell you that.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's kind of an eyeer. I don't know whether that's
ironic or pointless or quite what the explanation for that is. Okay,
so you had to plug it on again to get
it all out of gain. Is that what happened.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
Yeah, that's pretty much what happened.

Speaker 8 (11:57):
That's to set it all up agate and then go
back a week later, and this time was extra careful
to make sure that thathing's spilt.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Very good, Mike, Thanks for That's a good start. Eight
text spills, there'll be great text. But get your calls
also to I. We need your calls and loving it.
Let me get to the text too. By the way,
two days to white baiting. Remember that, yes, seafood's the
bad one to spill. Marcus, you can never ever get

(12:25):
rid of kinnejuice, smells and stains from the car boot,
and all the smellies at the car wash station only
make it worse. Ants in the car everywhere, including the
tire well and swimming in my water bottle. Fish sauce
in the shopping trolley, then leaked all over the Wahiki ferry. Goodness,

(12:51):
there we go, blood out of a stag.

Speaker 11 (12:54):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, that's grim. That is grim. Would be like a
murder scene.

Speaker 12 (13:01):
Evening.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Tanya at Smarcus Welcome, go Hi Marcus.

Speaker 13 (13:05):
I haven't talked to you before for but a long
cagle stuff. Yeah, no, I just a funny story. I
had took my dog I went to pick up some
curries and she jumped into the front seat, split the
bag of curry, and the curry sauce was all over her,

(13:25):
all over my dash, the windows, the roof, and I
just could not get that smell out for months.

Speaker 14 (13:34):
What a disaster it literally was.

Speaker 13 (13:37):
She was looking at all all up.

Speaker 15 (13:39):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (13:40):
It was just in every well you can imagine a dash, yeah,
seat and the Yeah, the curry was just in a
pool in the back.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Because I never thought were dogs like the dogs like
the taste of curry.

Speaker 13 (13:56):
I don't know, because there was but a chicken, so
that probably would have been one of the ones that
she she went for. But yeah, and that was more
the sauce. It was just the way she jumped over
into the front seat.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
It just go everywhere.

Speaker 13 (14:10):
Oh yeah, I just jumped the car.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
I never thought about takeaways and dogs because they're not compatible,
are they?

Speaker 16 (14:20):
No?

Speaker 13 (14:21):
No, And I don't often take her and.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
For good reason, for good reason.

Speaker 13 (14:28):
Yeah yeah, but no. Terrible stuff to get out.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Nice to hear from it. I love you to phone me,
reminds me. One day. I haven't told Dan this. One
day I was going to work and I I got
like some takeaways before work. It was like, I don't
know if I talked about this. It was like a dull,
the old roll dale, and I decided to eat it
in the car and I spilt it and I spilt

(14:56):
it down my lap and it was boiling hot and
it was burning me. So I sort of didn't know
what to do. I was sort of in the car
park near lighting direct and I had to remove my pants,
em my underwear and just get this stuff off my

(15:17):
legs where it was burning. And I'm sort of thing, well,
jeep as creepers. It's hope that the police don't apprehend me,
because none of it looked good. But it was one
of those things I just didn't know what to do.
There's not many things in life you don't had no
water to sort of. It was just really, really sketchy.
It wasn't good at all. But yeah, and there was

(15:41):
a lesson there you don't eat in the car. I
can't quite remember why I spelt it tip. I'm just
trying to think think back what happened. It just got
all out of control quite quickly. Judith, it's Marcus. Welcome,
Hi Judith. Now when I was happening to you, Judith,

(16:02):
three didn't give you hi. You're good, thank you, Hi, Judith.

Speaker 11 (16:07):
Hi. I got home from the hospital last year and
when I shock the bowel movement powder, my son had
forgotten to put the lid on, and the powder went
all over the kitchen or on the rug. Nothing could
soak it up.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Goodness. I don't think I've ever heard of bowel movement powder.

Speaker 15 (16:33):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Is it like some stuff they give you.

Speaker 11 (16:36):
It's prescribed from the doctor, so it's k O N
S l y dsh D because if you've been on
painkillers you really need control D.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Never heard of it, and then whenever we did.

Speaker 11 (16:52):
It, it went all over the kitchen because I always
shake the bottle before I use that.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Oh, it's kind of like a husk too, is It's
kind of like a wheat husk.

Speaker 11 (17:01):
Is that right, cry Cillian hydrophilick?

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Okay, you could vacuum that up, couldn't you.

Speaker 11 (17:12):
I was in a lot of pain.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Oh no, that's not good. Okay, wow, and.

Speaker 11 (17:17):
No one home there to do it.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Sounds like a disaster.

Speaker 11 (17:23):
Oh, Marcus, I'll tell you what. I only buy Chuck's Cross,
you know, the nice yellow ones. Yes, and it absolutely
made it bold.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (17:37):
And I was so sick. I went straight to bed
and had to cry.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I can mention it's a bad day because you're home
from the your home from hospital. Think things are going
to go well, and it's a disaster.

Speaker 11 (17:48):
Well, yes, I got to take Sea home. Yeah okay,
And I thought I need a bowel movement. I need
I need to do that. So I shook her because
I've had it for about four years.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's quite nice longer and gamp.

Speaker 11 (18:11):
Yes, I went to bed in here to cry, MICUs,
I'll be morning to phone you up. For about two years,
I listened to you every night.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Oh, that's nice to hear from you.

Speaker 11 (18:22):
You're the best, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Oh we don't get to judgment, but yeah, look, it's
nice to hear from you. And things are good for you.
You're back on the mend, are you?

Speaker 11 (18:32):
Oh, I'm all by now.

Speaker 14 (18:33):
And are you in the hospital.

Speaker 11 (18:37):
They gave me no, no, no, I loved it in there, Okay,
I'm a I'm always processed.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh yeah, Judith, I'm always loth to ask someone if
they're all better now in the car of the hospital
that because sometimes I say, no, I'm actually you know,
I've actually only got days to live. So I always
sort of ask those questions with the tongue, with my
heart in the hand of what an expression is. But
that's nice to hear from your Nice to hear you
on the men, Judith. Goodness with the old cilium, getting touched.

(19:08):
It was a strong corner. Oh, eight hundred and eighty
t nine nine two one ums Marcus, he'd twelve. It's
all about spills. Been good so far. There's been a variety,
and no doubt the variety will keep on going. Get
in touched, Marcus, till midnight. Yeah, the maple syrup right
through everything, Philip, And everything still feels sticky. I think

(19:33):
the whole house feels sticky. Maple syrup. It is such
an unpleasant flavor.

Speaker 17 (19:41):
I surprise, Marcus. There's still maple syrup to be hand
in Canada. After the Great maple Syrup heist a few
years ago, they took the entire stock of maple syrup
and they are a billion dollars worth of something like that.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I don't know too much of it.

Speaker 16 (19:52):
I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
I tried to do a bit of understanding. I thought,
let's turn this into a linear Experiences Canada part of
your perview.

Speaker 17 (19:58):
Not really. I found that hard hard to grasp as well,
that the entire stock of syrup could have been stolen,
and where did it go do that?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
And do they farm it or is it just random
old trees they tap?

Speaker 17 (20:10):
I think they tap trees, so there's probably some some
are farmed, you know, specifically growing for it. But I
think there's quite a lot of random sort of tapping
goes on as well. But it just astonished me that
someone could take the entire output but it just disappeared.
Apparently a billion.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
We'll find out more, Tony, thank you. Twenty nine to
nine min. Name is Marcus, Welcome, It's spills and it's Thursday.
I'll get the text. There's plenty there. I'll wait one
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine text
the worst of the spills. Normally it's like sour milk's
bad and the car isn't it tricking a higher car?

(20:47):
I think there's also pill it loose spills kind of maliciously. Well,
that's never good. I'll never do a malicious spill. Sort
of a grieved ex partners and things like that. That's another
show though, the aggrieved ex partner Marcus. I was dressed
up to go out with a white dress on it
decide to ply another cloat of nail polish. The bottles

(21:08):
slipped ound of my hand, went down my dress. Also,
one day I dropped eggs I was putting on the
fridge eggs or pain to clean IM. Have a good night.
Worst spill ever, Marcus. I live in the dorms. We
had a five color gram jar of communal mayonnaise sitting
on top of the fridge. One fateful day, the lid
stayed in my hand and everything else thend and on

(21:29):
the floor. We had mayo on every floor, We had
mayo on the ceiling. We were covered in mayo. It
was a Maya copo lips Marcus, worse spill. I think
this qualifies My mates walked to gate to clear newspaper.
On Sunday morning, I heard a strange gurgling sound from

(21:50):
Toby in the driveway, poked stick in it, and up
came then ef flu into the entire isley valley above
the property, left mid card deep an entire nahbled effluent
six months till stench dissipated markets.

Speaker 18 (22:04):
Marcus good evening, Yeah, gooday, Marcus spell story.

Speaker 6 (22:11):
Early on in my courtship, I was pretty stuck on
this girlfriend and I had a fantastic thirty three cover
leaf ol for Romeo, very proud of it. And you know,
we went out on Saturday morning and she called into
the shops and set up. I'm just going to go
in and get a pie.

Speaker 9 (22:28):
And.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
You're not eating that in here? She said, I mean,
what could what could go wrong?

Speaker 12 (22:36):
Right?

Speaker 6 (22:36):
And so she hits into this. She bites into the
savory mince pie still in the bag, and this tiny
globule of hot savory mints comes out and lands right
in the webbing of her hand, and of course she goes,
oh God, shakes her hand about. There was favor months everywhere,

(22:58):
and we could never get that smell out of the
vent of the heater in the end, I had to
sell it. We just could not get rid that smell.
We're still together though, and.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
And Mark was the fact you're still together because of
the pie spilling of that show that you had some
compassion deep down? Is that what it was about? Or
it was going to happen anyway, not that the romance,
not the pie.

Speaker 6 (23:23):
It was good, well, it was going it was going
to happen anyway. But of course it got rid of
the car and that was big ups on me. And yeah,
but I guess it was the fire and ice that
continued our relationship. We still were still. I like that,
but we still tell the story.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
What years that you say, what years the car?

Speaker 6 (23:45):
It was a eighty nine thirty three clover Leaf.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Okay, and what year? What year did this happen? And
was it a brand new car?

Speaker 6 (23:54):
Ninety ninety three?

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Okay, okay, okay, so it's a couple of years old. Okay,
I've seen the picture now. When you said thirty three
clover leaf, I wasn't quite sure about that. If there
was a car from nineteen thirty so I'll have to
have a look at the thirty three clover leaf. Yeah,
I'm not cars not my strong So cars anyway, Thank
you for that. That's good. These are good stories. Yeah,

(24:18):
it's pretty audacious to bring a car and bring a
pie into a car in the early Oh, it's a
nice looking car. I see what it is like. Yep, yep,
I think I've been in one of those. Actually, twenty
two away from ten nine. Mike Marcus welcome, yea, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 9 (24:35):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Thank you?

Speaker 19 (24:36):
Mike?

Speaker 9 (24:38):
Oh good good. Yeah. In my story, as a kid,
we had a quarter acre section full of trees and things,
and you climbed the big tree in the backyard. And
one time I was up there and there was an
unopened little pot of I don't know, fresh and fruity
or you play yogurt that I didn't see, and I
stepped on it. It must have it must have been

(24:58):
up there for three or four months. And I stepped
it on it and it squirted up my leg and
you wouldn't believe the stench of that. It's the worst
smell that I've ever smelt in my light.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
On clothes.

Speaker 9 (25:15):
Yeah, well, yeah, I can't remember what I was wearing,
but it.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Was it's like a month old month old yo. What
color was it? And it and it kind of and
it fruited it and it was it kind of green or.

Speaker 9 (25:29):
Oh I can't. Yeah it's a bit long ago. I
just remember the stench was so terrible. Yeah it was.
It was terrible. But another story, another story.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Just stay with that one, because it must have If
the yogurt's in a tree, it must have been you
that left.

Speaker 9 (25:44):
It there, right, I was on the ground below the tree. Leaves, leaf,
glitter and leaves all over it.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
And yeah, it was terrible.

Speaker 9 (25:53):
Yep, So be careful of that old yogurt. But recently
a few months ago, the barrister hadn't put the lid
on a coffee that I bought, and I got in
the car, put it in the cup holder, driving off,
picked it up and off comes the lid and down
goes the cup all over my lap, the whole thing seat,
you name it. Coffee on my way to work. Did

(26:15):
you burn a little bit?

Speaker 13 (26:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (26:18):
It was hot. Yep, it wasn't comfortable.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Okay, we'll keep going. Burn stories, burns stories and actually
spilled stories rather than burn stories, burn stories. Freak me
out of it. Actually, Hello, George, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 20 (26:32):
Yeah, a couple of a couple of store I can't
really match what some of these guys going through, you know,
But whatever you do, don't spill a liter of milk
in the car and let it go into the car.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
It was three yeah, well yeah, yeah.

Speaker 20 (26:48):
Enough. If it gets into the carpet, you can't get
it out.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Well off, people forget about the milk. It's chucked in
the back siat of the car, then falls down because
there's slippery plastic containers and it slides under the seat.
It's there for about a month and then you sort
of then you recline or something and pierce it and
it's just milk. Nob Yeah.

Speaker 20 (27:08):
But I worked at a soft drink factory, a place
called Dixon's Cordials many years ago and Barnas the North
when I was a young fella. So I end up
healthy washing bottles and all sorts of things. But they
finally put me on the inspection line, which meant as
as these were the glass court bottles, I don't know

(27:28):
if you remember them. You had the small Coca Cola style,
you know, and then you had the large court bottles
of glass and so that would be filled up with
a syrup, filled up with the water, squirted the gas
in and then capped and then labeled. So further down
the track they had an inspection system which was me

(27:50):
which meant you picked a bottle up, nothing floating, and
it put it in the wooden crate. Picked a bottle up,
nothing floating, and it took upside down, nothing floating, and
put the crate. That was inspection all day long. So
I'd fill up these wooden crates with all these large
core lemonade bottles and raspbread and stuff. And remember one
lot was lemonade coming down the chain, and you couldn't stop.

(28:13):
You just had to keep putting it into these boxes
and then shoving the boxes down the ladder rollers to
the next person. And here then go and stack them,
you know, because you'd fill the box up and or
the crpe and anyway it goes. Except he walked off
and there's all concrete floor. So I had two or
three of these crates all set up, filled up with

(28:35):
lemonade with a dozen in each one, and shoved it
down the line to him to realize he wasn't there,
and they all rolled off the end, turned ups right down.
All the glass bottles broke, and there was lemonade everywhere.
And I can tell you what I've never understood what
it is about lemonade that when you pour it on
concrete floor, the water content goes into the concrete and

(28:55):
the syrup sits on the top and it's the stickiest
mess you ever ever got to try and figure out
how to clean glass, broken glass, lads and syrup off
a concrete floor that's spreading out.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Mind, I think I think the maple SRT would give
you a run for your money, George. But good story,
Thank you, Colin and s Marcus.

Speaker 21 (29:17):
Good evening, bigging o Marcus. Another slippery one. Back in
the day before plastic milk, we from camera to during
and you know, I have a few hundred crates and
getting towards Christmas time you'd have there was still creates
six hundred little bottles or three hundred mile bottles of

(29:37):
the cream. That Christmas you had six hundred.

Speaker 22 (29:41):
Cream.

Speaker 21 (29:42):
Well because the truck wooden deck and out of one
hundred bottles of cream, I think, and so you can
imagine what it was like trying and the rest of
the truck with the slippering of the cream. It was
absolutely horrendous. Was like being on a scating wreck. And yeah,

(30:04):
of course it's stunk and all that sort of stuff.
But we've come a long way since. We don't have
steel crapes, we don't have glass bottles, and we certainly
don't have wooden decks on our on the trucks anymore anyway.
But I'll tell you it was it was an interesting
experience unloading that. And of course when you got to
the back of the truck was the because we dragged him.

Speaker 7 (30:24):
Out with a hock.

Speaker 21 (30:25):
You then had a steel ramp to go down to
get them to the cooller. You just went down. It
was just like just like sliding down an ice wreck,
you know, it was that slippery.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
But yeah, but anyway, did you have a water blasted?
Did your water blast? Was it straightforward to clean up?

Speaker 21 (30:45):
I don't think we had a water blast back then,
we had half I.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Was trying to think about that. The water blasts are recent.

Speaker 21 (30:51):
Yeah, you know, we just had the hose and scrubbing brushes,
deterredents and stuff like that. Everything was done hard school
back then.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
What one hear, Colin, thank you for that. Fourteen to nine.
It's all about the spills, manamers Marcus spill Thursday you wisper,
what about spills and luggage. When you go on a
holiday and it's through everything. It's not be nail polish
or perfume. Terrible, Oh not for me. I'm saying it's
not nail polish or perfume. I mean this that's taken

(31:20):
as red. But they're the stories, aren't they true to type?
Brendan Marcus, welcome, hey market there again tonight. Good thanks Brendan.

Speaker 23 (31:31):
I got a capful for you, both transport related. One
was when I was going from my Class five license,
I'm doing vegetables and christ do it. We used to
pick up the flop from a well known vegetable plant
and it was all dried and goofy it was, but
it was it was like flower almost and move like flower.

(31:52):
And the test was had to the is right open
the window behind us? Well, but he said behind me,
but I have in both windows in the back of
the camp and he said, right, we're going to go
get rid of the stuff and if you get bit
if I But he had a bad habit of just
at some point just yelling out stop. But he didn't
realize his window was open as well. So yeah, it

(32:16):
all came through the back of the cab. Like, I mean,
I've dealt with diapers and stuff like that, and it
was just enough. It was just angele was pure threat
because it was all the dried off vegetables and it.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Was sort of wet as well, was it because then
the way vegetables go, it's sort of it.

Speaker 23 (32:39):
Looks solid, but the moment you picked it up, it
was like sloped.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Did this did the smell remain?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (32:49):
You know, you couldn't drive that truck with the windows up.
And the second one was a few years later one
of our temporary drivers picking up some eggs out of
the Lower South Island and he hit the brakes of
it hard. They all feld ford and broke. We didn't
tell anybody, so he just parted the track up on

(33:10):
a Friday night and left it and of course came
in on Monday. What am I what that doing here?
And we opened the curtains and oh it was peach
summer and it was.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Just not really what would that smell like?

Speaker 23 (33:24):
Brendan, As well as the last wonder.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I was, the description would be thank you Brendan Peter
at Smarcus Welcome.

Speaker 18 (33:37):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 9 (33:38):
Thanks.

Speaker 18 (33:39):
I was working at the Tepoy Dairy factory back in
the early seventies they were making milk powder and all sorts.
Middle of summer, went to work. Unbeknown two pound of
butter sitting on the back seat you a wrapped in
the greasebrook paper. Came out after work and the butter
was noticed that the butter was apparently still sitting there,

(34:03):
but there was nothing inside the wrapper. The wrapper, the
butter had completely gone down back the back of the
seat and underneath the seats, and the car was never
the same again.

Speaker 24 (34:17):
So where was it always?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Was it in the upholstery or was it just everywhere?
What was in the carpetal.

Speaker 18 (34:23):
Where was it just everywhere? It was down it It had
run down the the butter was sitting right on the
back seat, right at the back of the seat, and
it had just run down between the gap of the
cushion and the seat back in underneath the upholstery. Uh,
and clean it, you know, I mean, you clean it up,

(34:45):
but you just can't get rid of that was the.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Evidence of it was the was the evidence of the
resid You it hadn't all just kind of been absorbed
into the upholstery. You could see some.

Speaker 18 (34:54):
Bits of it, Yeah, yeah, you could. You could see
it there. There was a certain amount you could you
could clean up, you know, get it get rid of,
but you know it was sort of everywhere underneath the seat.

Speaker 25 (35:06):
Yeah, but is.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
The worst What happened to this? What happened to that vehicle?

Speaker 25 (35:12):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (35:12):
I got sold in the end. I guess you know
if we cleaned it up as best we could, don't
you know? Yeah, we just put up with that smell
forgot a while there. Did worked on a farm as well,
and you would offering ferry milk and a billy and
inevitably it's spilt. You'd have it sitting on the floor
in the front seat passenger compartment. Inevitably the milk or

(35:32):
the cream would spill, and you just it's very hard
to get that smell out of the car. You tell
it was a farm car as soon as you got
into it.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Did you try and disguise it?

Speaker 7 (35:45):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (35:45):
I think we probably did. I remember what we would
have done. But you know, there's the smell there. It's
very hard to get rid of it permanently. It's it's
always coming back.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I don't know what it is so hard to get
smelled out of cars? Is it because the Yeah? I
can't quite work out what it is. Maybe that's the
story for another night, Peter, but thank you. Six away
from nine Bobbitts Marcus, Good.

Speaker 26 (36:08):
Evening, Marcus. I was working for a rendering plant up
the North Island and we had four different tanks for
different grades, and you're supposed to go up and check
them before you fill them up. But me and my
Wilsdom thought there'd be plenty of room in that tank,
so I went back inside and just carry on pumping
raw tallow out into this tank. Unfortunately, the tank filled

(36:30):
up a lot quick, and I thought, and no one
went out to check it. And about four hours later
we went out and there was a lake of tallow everywhere.

Speaker 21 (36:38):
Wow.

Speaker 26 (36:38):
And you can imagine how you clean that up when
it starts to sit. You can't wash it, you have
to actually get out and physically shovel it. So it
wasn't very popular.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
And this is on what sort of a ground it
It was indoor you say, it was in a building outside.

Speaker 26 (36:56):
The tanks were outside and concrete bunkers and it poured
over the top of these tanks and then they just
went down into the concrete bunkers and that. But you
can't just go out and wash it because if we
wash it down the drains, it blocks all the drains up.
So it took forever for the guys to come out
and give me a hand to clean it up. It
wasn't popular the weeks after that.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
He didn't it didn't You didn't re render it.

Speaker 26 (37:19):
Yeah, yeah, that's what happened. We had to put on
black bins and then put it back through again. But
then it didn't become eight grade anymore. It was rubbish grade.
But it was just right down lazy eye. So I
just didn't go up and checked the tank. I was
supposed to go up and checked. So it wasn't very popular,
I can assure.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
You, lazy eartist Bob, thank you. Rendering. It's a good
word in it. Johnny Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Oh, good evening. It's a real bloke subject, isn't it.
So I've got two quick ones. One is the flour
mill at the port here and Tunga. I was working
as a temp and it called into a job where
a whole room had filled up with flour, like a
room containing a big pumping machine and so it's just

(38:04):
you know, cinder blocks and yeah, this several tons of
flowers the shooters burst and they've filled it up. So
going in there and just shoveling all day for two days,
me and another bloke to empty it all out. From
the satisfaction of when you finally sweep up there last
little bit, that's cool.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
But the end, that's quite a spell.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a couple of days hard work.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Yeah, it's a big spell.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yep, confined concrete rome with a big pump in it.
But you know, anyway, the other one was the opening
Murray River. I just googled it to see if I
could find the incident. But there was a DuPont truck
about early nineteen nineties and it had cyanide brickets for

(38:53):
the mine and was destined for somewhere anyway, and they
might have been going to be processed taken overseas on
their talking. But that truck spelled fell in crash in
the river and they had to evacuate the village of
Buaikino in the middle of the night, like two or
three in the morning because when the freeze dride, sanine

(39:15):
brick hits come into contact with water, becoming guest cloud.
And yeah, it was I had a really small headline
in the paper at the time and in the local
rag and I was part of an environmental group that
called Coramanda Watchdog and we got it into some bigger papers,
but the story never really went anywhere, but it was

(39:35):
for the people who lived in the village of Boaiquino.
It was quite a scare.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
It was quite a scared you're going to go on news.
But thank you so much for that. We'll be back
after the break. People. Most people's life changing spills are
in the car Marcus. Hi, Marcus. One time I thought
it would be a good idea to bring back two
really nice bottles of red wine from Spain. I spent
hours securing them safely wrapped in clothing in the samsonite

(40:06):
I had ork and airport arrived was I chuckled as
I saw a large trail of red wine along the
floor in front of the baggage carousel, smug me judging
that some of didn't pegging as well as I did,
until I saw it was actually my bed coming around
and the red wine was just pouring from it. I
used to work in a chemistry labin was in charge

(40:26):
of purifying and stirring mercury. I kept the mercury in
pint bottles on a shelf in a fume hood. There
was about eight pints in total. One morning I opened
up the labin and found mercury everywhere. The weight had
torn the shelf bracket out of the wall and the
whole lot had come down. Took a week to clean up. Wow.

(40:49):
Marcus and Australia had a bucket of beach sand worms
for fishing that spilt. It was like prawns and water.
It stunk so bad I ripped the carpet out, but
still drove it and parked it with the windows down.
A few years ago I had a car with a
sunroof which I opened on a sunny mulbre Dat. I

(41:09):
stopped off to pick up a large coffee and put
on the car roof, but forgot the sunroof was open.
Oh I can see that happening, large flat white all
over my driver's seat smelt of milk and coffee for weeks.
Went to the movies, and those big drinks have the
most ridiculous lids. The lid came off just as I

(41:30):
sat down. My large dit coat went all over my
crotch with the ice. Movie was too good to leave.
Luckily it was dry by the time I left, Melissa Marcus,
we have a barbecue trailer at work. Someone did and

(41:52):
put the lid on the four letter bottle of cooking.
All that tipped over and went through the whole trailer,
dripped out all over the yard and everywhere the trailer
went until notice new rule, no oil kept in trailer. Marcus.
I once purchased a four li to tin of white
and amel paint, made the dumb decision of sitting in
on the front seat. Sitting in on the front seat

(42:12):
with some brushes. Long story short, On the way home,
a car went through a red light, making me slam
on the brakes. The paint tin hit the dash and
explode everywhere on me and the inside of the car.
Insurance paid for a full cleanup. However, we avoided the crash,
and yet I did keep my pants on. Lull Marcus.

(42:36):
Against my bit of judgement, I let my five year
old son drink his strawberry milk in the back seat
while I was driving. Sure enough, he drops on the
car floor, so I expect strawberry milk everywhere freakishly. When
we get to our destination, I go to get my
son out and the bottle is landed upright and didn't
spill a drop. Once I dropped the flat white in

(43:01):
my car, hot milk hit the carpet mat in the front.
Luckily I could take the mat out grub it. Eventually
threw it away because I couldn't clean it start to stink.
My question is could a professional car detailer could they
have gotten that milk out of the upholstery or permanent
floor mats if I hadn't had the mat there. Marcus,

(43:21):
the newly built KFC in Karakas, South Auckland is out
of coleslaw. Again. It happens so regularly the locals call
it karaka is flying coleslaw. That's the corrupt polite version.
Guess that's the downfall of be next to a motorway
on ramp and off ramp. Oh wait one hundred and eighty.

(43:41):
By the way, the America's cup starts again in the morning.
Hearing trouble getting to sleep, Just tooo.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
If you not funy exciting, you don't understand it.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
Queue outrage from people. Oh jeepers, we.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Love it.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
Anyway, get in touch. My name is Marcus hddled twelve.
It's all about the spills and if you've got anything
to add to this, I'd love to hear from you.
Thirteen past nine. Ah, sorry about the cough. Huh why
do you make those noises? Can't stop? It's the honest answer.

(44:27):
I reckon of this listen is the radio I'd bring
up with three different spill stories. Often wonder what i'd
bring up about.

Speaker 5 (44:34):
Oh, Marcus, you're talking spoils.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Well goodness. What I love is when people bring up
and say, oh, you're talking about spills. This is not
really a spill story, and it's something completely different. Get
in touched Marcus to Midnight Freddy. Welcome, Hi Freddy. Hello, Yeah,
it's yeah, Hi.

Speaker 27 (44:57):
Yeah, Hi.

Speaker 28 (44:58):
I got a bit of a story. It's a bit naughty.
Really who involved in drinking? If you beer?

Speaker 26 (45:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 28 (45:05):
But however, I was meeting a new landlord had a
building to rent it off them, and of course as
I pulled up mem my friend, I just drunk a
box of stone laggers all between us, who had about
two or three each, and I backed into a real
flash boat on a trailer and I said, oh no,

(45:27):
but I hit the tow bar and they sort of
threw back the cup of the feet and I said, door, God.
It was like one hundred grand boat about twenty five
thirty foot long, and that brought the landlord out of
their building. They looked in at me in anguish and
then he says, are you the guys in the way?

Speaker 12 (45:40):
You hits us?

Speaker 28 (45:41):
And so we parked up. Then as I opened the
door on the truck to get out, all the empties
fell out and spilled all over his forecourt. And we
got out. Member mate picked them up, put them back
in the truck and went, I guess that interviews we made,
we must well go. And he just kirked up, laugh
and says, no, no, no, man, I'm inside well for

(46:02):
an extra paus and no drinking and noise after middle nights.
And he gave me the building.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
That's something. And that's a nice story because that skuy
could see that you're inside of the earth.

Speaker 28 (46:13):
Yeah, man, it is. But as it was, I turned
it down. About a month later I found a better one.
But cricking off that we blew that interview men, And
it was over this sort of hilarious side of it.
We didn't damage a boat. We run yet the toe
ball and then he yeah, top it off, will be empty.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
It was nice story. Freddy. Thank you, Lawrence Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (46:33):
YEAHI yes, I got the story. Happened in a lift
when I was at university in the nineteen seventies. Three
or four of us got on a lift that summer.
We're all wearing jandles and longs and stuff, and one
of the lab technicians got in with a jug full
of liquid nitrogen.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (46:56):
And anyway, somehow or another, the lift stopped. A bit
of a sudden, liquid nitrogen comes pouring over the edge
of this container, and little balls of liquid nitrogen are
hissing all around the floor of the lift. Of course,
with gendles on, these little balls go dancing over the
top of your feet, leaving little white trails of frozen

(47:20):
burnt skin across the top of your feet. So there
was a helmet dance going on. And we got out
of the lift. But geese, you wouldn't want to spill stuff.
We were lucky we got away with it.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Why did he have no lids on it or anything?

Speaker 29 (47:37):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 12 (47:39):
I mean, I can't remember whether there was a leaden,
whether it was slipped off, or or what he did.
But man, you know that stuff. Excuse the hell out
of us. I continue. We were dancing around like a
cat on a hot turned roof. But it was worse.
It was super frozen balls tearing across our feet.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
It'd be exciting when the old people waiting for the
for the doors, just this kind of this kind of
scene comes of this kind of creeping steam comes out
of the doors. I quite like it, Lawrence. Thank you.
It's twenty past nine, Marie. We're talking spills and good
evening to.

Speaker 19 (48:15):
You, Hi.

Speaker 13 (48:17):
I have had an interesting one.

Speaker 30 (48:20):
We went to Australia and.

Speaker 31 (48:22):
While we were over there there was a big sale
on ladies underwear.

Speaker 32 (48:26):
Wow, I had spinned up and I bought heaps pears
and knickers and bras. And when we got back, they
threw my bag onto the carousel and a burst open
and all these knickers.

Speaker 31 (48:41):
And bras are going round and round on the carousel.

Speaker 33 (48:46):
Distaste on Who's going to go and pick up the bag.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
It's not what you want at the end of a
long flight either, as the cheapest creepers that.

Speaker 34 (48:57):
It was most embarrassing.

Speaker 30 (48:59):
I waited till everybody had gone.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
That's humiliating, yes, very And it must have been them
because they got it all right on the plane. It
wasn't your fun. They must have thrown today.

Speaker 35 (49:12):
Yeah, they threw and don't just care itself and it
burst open?

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Do you reckon? You got them all, Marie, Well I
need to go back and get one pair of nice
to hear you. Thank you, Helen, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (49:29):
Oh yes, evening. Back in the days when I was
a students, I lived in in the flat in a
big house that has been all subdivided. It was really
lovely those were the days. Anyway, this party was planned
and just before you know, the day or so before

(49:50):
saw it started coming up through the plug through the
floor plug hole of one of the flats. So what
they did was say then landward you know, came around
and they got it all dug up, you know, and
so there were trenches ever aware, and anyway, it was
too too late to call a party off party with

(50:11):
your head, and so fair amount of drinking went on,
as you know does happened with students right. So anyway,
so this woman wanders out, young woman wanders out at
side drunk and falls in.

Speaker 14 (50:27):
Oh great, yeah, yeah a party, Yeah, it.

Speaker 16 (50:35):
Was quite a part as they were an day.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
Okay, thanks thanks Helen. Julian it's Marcus. Welcome, Hi the god.

Speaker 36 (50:43):
To challenge anybody to have a more embarrassing spill than this.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
Sounds like the telethon of spills. Now you're going to
challenge someone.

Speaker 36 (50:52):
Well, look, I had an iliostomy and a stoma bag
about four years ago, and in the early days, I'm
getting used to things. I thought I'd go down to
Mirabelle shopping, so I had a share, put my stoma
bag on, said goodbye to my wife. I drove down
to the supermarket, went into Marveramor, got a cup of coffee,

(51:13):
had a bit of a chat there, walked into round
them all into the supermarket, and then a lovely lady
came up to me and said, excuse me, You've got
an issue, And I thought, oh, have I? And then
I looked down and I hadn't done the stoma bag up.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Properly, nicely handled by her a to just say you've
got an issue in it?

Speaker 36 (51:34):
Yeah, and that looked. We just smiled at each other,
and she said, look, I know exactly. She must have
had known somebody that had a stama bag. And she said, look,
I'll walk out. You just followed close behind me so
that I don't get any more embarrassed than what I was.
So thank you for that, lady. But yeah, that's the

(51:54):
challenge out there.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Okay, take that, Julian, thank you. I opened a large
tin of what is beetroot and juice. Lost my grip
on the damp tin. Seen the whole lot down the
front of my fastidious mother in law's elegant frock. Grabbed
a bottle of milk on the way home from work
one night, got home and the whole twillz embdied into
the front foot well. We got it professionally clean the

(52:17):
next day. A week later, there was no way you
could sit in that car for the stink. Ended up
being insurance claim and replaced all the carpet. Disgusting. Pretty
sure the dairy owners opened the milk for their cap
of tea. That's right, blame the dairy. Marcus cleaning up
the stairs toilet poured a bit of bleach down the toilet,
didn't put the lid on the bleach properly, left it

(52:38):
sitting on the steer balustrade to take it downstairs. When
I went down exiting, lost it, knocked it off and
it rolled all the way down two flights of stairs
and was empty. By the bottom was a one point
five liter bottle of bleach. Needless to say, five minutes later,
all the new carpet was bleached with the color removed.
The insurance company loved me. That's an expensive spell. Marcus

(53:02):
left the supermarket and put groceries on the passenger car.
Floor bag fell over but seemed intact. On a rival home,
try of chicken legs had fallen out and under the
passenger seat. Car wasn't used for a week summertime. Took
weeks to get the smell of my new car. Rotten chicken,

(53:22):
not God, it's all about the spills. Good evening, Shirley,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 31 (53:27):
Welcome, Thank you Marcus. I have a small story. I
was a white baita when I was a lot younger.
I had a bucket two thirds full of white bait.
My daughter had a little, tiny, wee baby bucket of
soap and water. She decided she'd wash her hands. She
stipped and spilled all her soapy water right through my

(53:49):
two thirds of a.

Speaker 22 (53:50):
Bucket of white bait.

Speaker 20 (53:52):
Wow.

Speaker 31 (53:53):
I had to throw all my band love of white
bait into the grass. But as I was ranting and
raving about what happened. I looked across the river and
there was a gentleman in a rowboat, also white baiting,
and he had a big, huge muslin bag full of

(54:13):
white baits and he was carrying it between his legs
because it was so heavy. He got to the dinghy
and the white bait muslin bag burst all through the dingy.
That's my white bat stories.

Speaker 3 (54:29):

in different parts of the country, I think, but certain
in South that it starts on Sunday, first of September. YEP.
Get in touch by names. Marcus hddled twelve good white

(54:50):
beating story. Didn't know the river old google that up
on the map. Tara, it's Marcus good evening, Oh, Marcus Hi, Tara.

Speaker 37 (55:01):
I brought this new couch with my partners and his
like had like a electric recliner and like plugs in
the middle and stuff. So one day I went to
go have some soup and sit down at the couch,
and I spilled the soup all over the electrical parts,
and then it made the house like short circuit like

(55:22):
the fuse go off, and when the guy came to
replace the electrical parts, who said it never had to
do that before.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
Wow, And it was said it was a couch with
all the electrical bits in it.

Speaker 37 (55:36):
Yeah, it was like a like a thie soup, like
a what soup like it. It's like one of those satchets.
I think it was like a Thie noodle soup or something.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Just just just blow up everything.

Speaker 37 (55:55):
Yes, the power go off.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Did you manage to fix it all?

Speaker 11 (56:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 37 (56:02):
No, I just had to like switch the fuse back
on and the couch got stuff. So that was good.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Nice to hear from your Tara. Thank you. Twenty nine
to ten. It's all about the spills. My name is Marcus.
Welcome life changing spills. I reckon painting. That could be
one of the worst. If you did a full letter
of paint, that's gonna be a day ruiner. Anything where
it's actually like that or like ganola, it's I mean,

(56:29):
the smells bad enough, but when you've actually got paint,
because you try and rectify the paint and you try
and get rags and mop it all up, and then
you'd spread it everywhere. They'd be running into the house
to grab the rags and you'd put on your doorknobs.
I can imagine that's the bad thing about it if
it's when it spreads. Because spills can spread, you've got

(56:51):
to be reorganized. It's a great exercise in crisis management
because you start, oh hang on, yeah, I've done had
many of those situations. You start panicking and you spread it,
and goodness me things we say here for your people.

(57:16):
My name is Marcus.

Speaker 16 (57:16):
Welcome.

Speaker 3 (57:17):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. It's spills. Because it's
Thursday and we are talking spills. Get in touch. I'm
sure we've got good stories. We'll have a chance to
get around all of you. I think I think plenty
of time tonight. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Good evening, Mark,

(57:42):
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (57:44):
Yeah, Hi Marcus. Almost as spillage. I worked for a
dealership car dealership, and we had a car that was
new and as low as a like a loan vehicle.
And after a couple of weeks we sort of noticed
something was quite not quite right with the paint, and

(58:05):
someone had put battery acids into the wiper bottle, wash
a bottle, and so over a period of time, it
all gone through down through the scuttle panel and just
rotted everything out. So it's big insurance claim. But yeah,
no one ever owned up to it, but it was
definitely sabotage.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
Well it's not negligence. They did that deliberately.

Speaker 14 (58:28):
I reckon, Yes, I reckon, it's deliberate, yep. But you
couldn't prove it. But yeah, okay, quite.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
It's quite a nasty thing to do, isn't it, because
over weeks and that would.

Speaker 14 (58:40):
Yeah, and you didn't and you wouldn't know when you're
spraying your wipers that you went rather than water, And
it's just over a period of time that.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
What did it e It just goes down through pipes.

Speaker 14 (58:56):
Corodas, Yeah, all for the scuttle panel, so the bottom
of the windscreen this it all went down and down
underneath the placet cover, so it went down to where
the batteries held it like, it just rotted thing. And
by the time I found out, you know, as an
insurance claim, the insurance, the insurance wrote the car off.
But yeah, just.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Ship it's probably in the anarchist's handbook. That's quite a
powerful technique, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (59:21):
Yeah, Yes, if you want to if you want to
annoy somebody, breakthrough and.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Get annoy someone remotely and get away with it.

Speaker 14 (59:31):
Yeah, yeah, I borrow you can.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
I burrow your car. Wow, that's a goodie, Mark, thank you.
Unbelievable almost Hi Simon, it's Marcus. Good evening, Hi Michael,
tell you good Thanks Simon.

Speaker 38 (59:46):
Yeah, because yeah, I had a bit of a crazy
spig story. I was renovating one of my old houses
and my head buckets of stacked up in the garage.
Luckily it was in the garage, and you know, you know,
I work up one day and my pace has to
still over and the thing I don't understand. There's however,

(01:00:08):
it's felt it managed to get onto the ceiling of
the garage and to this day I still can't figure
it out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
So they were stored in those big, big ten litre buckets,
were they?

Speaker 38 (01:00:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's sick of them stacked up And yeah,
it came into the garage. You know, a day or
two later, noticed that it's fallen over. But somehow the
paint had gone on to the ceiling.

Speaker 34 (01:00:33):
They must have splashed.

Speaker 10 (01:00:35):
Yeah, just.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Don't get it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
So just why did fall and over all why did
fall an overall they all fell over.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Probably two or three.

Speaker 35 (01:00:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
I can't work out what would have caused that because
it wasn't It almost feels like there's an explosion for
it to get on the ceiling.

Speaker 38 (01:00:55):
Yeah, that's right. And you know that the new buckets
they went old painter, you know Donner for the for
the summer.

Speaker 15 (01:01:05):
Painted.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Did you end up painting the ceiling?

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
No, it's still it's still like that.

Speaker 35 (01:01:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
And what's and what sort of and what sort of
splash pattern?

Speaker 38 (01:01:22):
How do you how do you describe a I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
I just trying to work out what sort of force
that happened with.

Speaker 38 (01:01:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 39 (01:01:30):
Okay, one of those things.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
We'll get for ensits on that. Thank you, Simon. Good evening, Yvon.
It's Marcus.

Speaker 40 (01:01:37):
Welcome, first time caller, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Nice to hear from you. Welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:01:44):
Okay.

Speaker 40 (01:01:44):
I have load visions, so I have to do everything
by braille. I used to wall paper for a living,
and on occasion my mother in law decided she wanted
to alarm for all papers and I made up the
pace the night before, put it in buckets of the
lips on, set it on the back seat of the car.

(01:02:07):
You know where I'm going, don't you had to pull
up in a hurry. The whole lot hit the back
of the seat, swept over me like a tsunami, all
this wallpaper paste dripping off me. I had to get
out of the car, stand by the door and try
and scrape it off and pour it out of the car,

(01:02:29):
and the car stunt for weeks, and everybody who had
passed me last their heads off.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
I can I mention it's at least with wallpaper glue.
It's not a bad smell, is it? Oh?

Speaker 40 (01:02:42):
Yeah, once it gets a little bit sour. Can had
to have all the carpet taken out and redone when.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
The sniffers and board cheaper is good story, Von, Thank
you and once again nice to phone meet you. Eighteen
to ten, Marcus. I was in the cruise having lunch
with a Swiss woman I just met. She was wearing
a beautiful silk shirt, and as I went to sit
the table with a bowl of merry and fish, I
tripped on a table eating a fish onion pepper and
grub shot all over her. She had fish stuck all

(01:03:09):
over her and wasn't amused. Marcus the tron getting hit
with violent thunderstorms, lots of lightning and belts of thunder.
That's from Grant engineer here got a call out one
time from abalming fluid leak through an aircraft lower hold
leaking out of a large cardboard casket. We became used

(01:03:34):
to the usual spilt bodily fluids, but that one was
particularly gross. Oh that's tough, Wow, Marcus, New World, Windsor
and Vocago. Ten years ago, Christmas Eve, six pm at
the self checkout, Raspberry fizz drop broke to the floor,
out of my arms and opened, spun around, exploded and burst,
hit the ceiling and everybody surrounding. Young student check out

(01:03:57):
boy burst laughing, and he died, super embarrassed, Marcus. The
woman whose bucket of white bait that her daughter killed
was so your hands reminds me of down and Devenport.
Wolf took my then five year old daughter fishing. Had
a nice bucket of lively spread swimming around. Daughter was Thursday.
Gave her a small bottle of lemon and pardoor. She
thought you'd give the fish a drink, poured some allump

(01:04:18):
into the bucket. Fish died instantly. Immediate upside Down has
some good guess in that juice. I wanted them to
snap a bait interest that killed him so quickly. Thirteen
to ten oh eight hundred and eighty tad he talk

(01:04:39):
about the spills life ruining or life changing spills. That's
kind of what it's on. Hllo Graham. It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Yeah, you know, Marcus a bit of a story. It's
not read a spill, but it's what happens after the spill.
I my wife and I were traveling to England and
we stopped at in Singapore for a couple of days
and she dropped a sham Who bottle which broke, and
so she sort of put it into a container but

(01:05:11):
it wasn't the original container and got away in the wagon.
The next morning we're off to the airport and we're
at the airport thinking everything sweet, and then our names
get called out. Wow yeah yeah in Singapore, it's the
first thing bow all right, And I said, what's this about?

(01:05:31):
And they said you had to go to a kiof.
So we went to the KEYO tried to explain to
the lady who we were and while we were there,
and she said, yep, yeap, I won't do the exit yep.
And then About two minutes later, two guys, two armed guards,
turned up and we had to follow them. There was
an interpreter and they took us away into a into

(01:05:54):
a room and we, I'll tell you what, we were
a bit worried. And we walked into this room and
sitting on the table was a shampoo, blue shampoo in
this in this bottle, and there was an interpreter on
one side, that guy who was in.

Speaker 35 (01:06:16):
A bit of a police officer or armi suit.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
Another one on the other side, I don't know what
he was on the two guards behind us, and they said,
you know, the interpreter said what's this? And I said shampoo.
And I remember her looking at me really weirdly, and
she would shampoo. I said, yeah, shampoo. They couldn't understand me,

(01:06:40):
so I used my hands.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
She would yep, yep, yeah, in.

Speaker 4 (01:06:45):
Front of the besest I could, and they she said, oh, shampoo.
I said, yeah, shampoo, shampoo, and she turned to the
guy when in whatever the language of it is, I'm
not sure, and he first they are laughing, and then
they all started saying presumably shampoo, shampoo, and no one
was washing their hair, so they said no, it's all

(01:07:08):
quite all good. So they stuck a container and put
it into our bag and sipped it up again and
taped it and said off you go, and they were
thank God for that. It was pretty frightening.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
It's quite a reassuring story, really, what I mean I
was going to say at the time. I was going
to say at the time when you said your wife
put it in another container, that was a mistake. But
what was the other What was the other container?

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Yeah, you were going to ask you that, And it
was one of those large cotton blood things I think
you know, what makeup and all that to take off
and it was a clear container just with the screw
on lids, and yeah, I just.

Speaker 21 (01:07:48):
Blew me away.

Speaker 3 (01:07:49):
I am had had it spilt?

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
Well, I hadn't spilled out of it. No, I don't
know how they picked it up. They must have gone
through with the X ray machine and picked up this container.
It had a spilt that it broke the night before obviously,
and she put it into that new container, so it
must have been just done with the X ray and
they they're right over there.

Speaker 9 (01:08:10):
Bring Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
I wonder what they were consumed about it because you
mentioned it wouldn't it doesn't smell like an explosive or anything. Doesn't.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
Oh no, hell, do you think I'm explosive? No, it
was just blue. The color was blue, and I think, yeah, yeah,
that was the experience against anyway, I just thought i'd
pass it on that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
And Graham, I Graham, I feel ignorant not knowing what
language they speak in Singapore. I thought it would be
Chinese or Chinese or Malation. But I'm embarrassed. They might
be their own language. So we'll get that sorted out.
The next time you need to tell that story, someone
will text me. I just presume they was sing Singapore
in its own language. I recky. Correspondent. Thunderstorms has been

(01:09:05):
thunderstorm has been flashing at sixteen, extremely heavy rain. Kids
and kids are all awake. Have we had a thunderstorm
like this?

Speaker 9 (01:09:13):
Avery?

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
Long time? Jk or ok. They might speak English. A
six to ten. Good evening, David, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:09:29):
Tell you Marcus, I'm a ex farmer. Oh god, you
know where a rotary shore is and all the milk
is collected to a can and then it's pumped up
through the corner.

Speaker 28 (01:09:39):
And the and the filter.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
This will be good.

Speaker 24 (01:09:42):
Lend this one I had a two way taps. One
went up to the old shed for colosterum milk, but
this is the p am morning milk, and the other
way it went into the vats. So we finished milking
and I lifted the lid on the two three four
hundred liter that's no milk. Only last night I look

(01:10:03):
out the window and there's the milk. It's gone to
the shed.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
I had the.

Speaker 24 (01:10:08):
Taps around the wrong way. Wow, the whole three thousand
liters of milk went down the concrete. I swore, I growl,
and then I burst him the laughter. And the fellow
that was working with me said, what are you laughing for? Boss?
And I said, I now know what is meant. You
can't cry over milk.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
Because its not easy to get It's not easy to
get rid of spilt milk either, because it's quite bad
for pasture, isn't it.

Speaker 24 (01:10:37):
Yes, well it went down the old concrete and finished
up in the affluent poem, which was yeah, well that
was a good thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
But yes, you learn and you never did that again,
did you.

Speaker 41 (01:10:50):
Nope.

Speaker 24 (01:10:51):
I made sure those two taps were turned the right way.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
I don't know if this is a question that's going
to ruin the story or something. But as a farmer,
would you be insured for that?

Speaker 24 (01:11:03):
If I was, I never claimed probably yes, could have
gone to your public liability, I suppose.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Yeah, it's a lot of it's a lot of milk.
I mean, it's thousands of dollars worth of milk, isn't
it these days?

Speaker 28 (01:11:14):
Well?

Speaker 24 (01:11:14):
Well yeah, but not back thirty odd years.

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
Man, Okay, nice story, thank you, Marcus loud thunder lightning,
heavy railing Cambridge, Patricia Gosh. I hope the Hobbits will
be a round at hobbit to me and the little
round open, the little round doors looking out. We need
to include hobbit in a bit more often. Actually, I
suppose people stay there at night? Do they caretakers and stuff?

(01:11:40):
Talk to the boss about having our Christmas party Hobbiton.
Forget what his answer was. Actually see why don't we
have a Christmas parties at like bars, like old bars?
Why don't we have a Hobbiton. Well, I mentioned there's
a lot of reasons. Bus trip down, bus trip back,

(01:12:04):
public liability, so you're going to keep them quite straight
in ordinary these days, your Christmas parties love to go
to one at Hobbiton it's bucketless stuff for me. Now
we are talking spills. That's the situation we're on about
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine text. Good evening, Margaret,

(01:12:26):
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 33 (01:12:30):
I'm ringing regarding a spill that my then five year
old grandsons suffered on a farm at Napier. They lived
on a farm. I was on holiday and going back
to a spruit in the next day, and I said
to this five year old little blondie with sun tan skin,
et cetera, and we're going home tomorrow and to thank

(01:12:55):
mum for using who car will wash it today? So
we got the hose, turned it on and washed the car.
And Jack kept saying, this is a big thank you,
This is Grandma, this is a big thank you. So
we got to the stage where I said, now go over,
turn on the hose and we'll rinse all the bubbles

(01:13:16):
of it. So he did that, not knowing that my
son was spraying round the fence lines. And farmers use
a hot pink gel to mix with the spray so
it makes a mark so they.

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
Know where there's be.

Speaker 33 (01:13:32):
He had left thee I suppose one and a half
liter soft placetic container was out the liver on by
the hose, and Jack jumped on it, not knowing it
was there, and he turned hot pink.

Speaker 16 (01:13:46):
All over it went up the wall, up.

Speaker 33 (01:13:51):
The ceiling, and the spouting all over him as little blonde,
spiky heirdo was pink. And he got such a shock
he burst into tears, ran into the house, left pink paint,
pink gel right down the carpet. His mother was inside
doing something, and I could hear him in Michelle in

(01:14:12):
the shower. I don't want to be a pink boy
all my life. I don't want to be a pink
boy all my life. And when he came out, he
was still pink.

Speaker 16 (01:14:23):
Anyway.

Speaker 33 (01:14:24):
We went to the airport the next day and the
woman at Napier Airport said, what happened to you? And
he said, I'm not going to be pink all my life,
but I will be for a while. And it lasted
for about a week, pink all over him.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
And what was it that? Was it the jail or
was it the jail with this? It was some form
of stray was it?

Speaker 33 (01:14:48):
It's an agriculture harmless gel that they mit.

Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
Okay, so I was worried. It was the spray. Okay,
it was just the jail.

Speaker 33 (01:14:56):
They the gel, but it had to be dragged off
and they had to replace the cream carpet down the
hallway because his mother in cleaning the on sweet bathroom
and as the water, she said later, as she was
trying to get it off him, through his hair and everywhere,

(01:15:16):
the water was getting pinker and pinker as a cokedown
to going down.

Speaker 42 (01:15:20):
The plug hole.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
So he was a very.

Speaker 16 (01:15:23):
Very scared boy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
That's a great story.

Speaker 33 (01:15:27):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
That's a great story because I wasn't quite sure where
that one was going. That's a ripper of a story.

Speaker 33 (01:15:33):
Well, I never remember. We tried to get a photo,
but he just sit under a blanket the whole time.
He wouldn't come out.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
I don't know what it's going. I see when they
do spray with that stuff that you know they do
use it. The road crewis and stuff to use it.
I just didn't know that.

Speaker 33 (01:15:53):
It's a harmless thing. It's just like a gell die
that they make some But it was funny for everybody
but Jack. Yes, But at the airport he kept as
they're checking in the chicken wom and said something to him,
and he said, I won't be pink all my life.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
Why why head He jumped on the container.

Speaker 33 (01:16:15):
He didn't see it there. I had put it into
the knapsack spray that he was going around the garden
fence lines with. He thought, I'll put that in.

Speaker 22 (01:16:26):
I no where I've been.

Speaker 33 (01:16:28):
Just put awee bit And he didn't put the top
back on this soft plastic bottle. So Jack just raced
over and trod on it by mistake, and it went everywhere.
The ruined, the carpet, ruined, the paint on the house.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Extremely good story, Margaret, extremely good. Had me it was Oh,
it was compelling. I guess it's the word for that.
Tarnia says heavy rain and thunder and parmist north loud
thunder lightning, heavy raining, Cambridge, Marcus. There was in the

(01:17:04):
small south Whitekato town forty years ago a truck carrying
twenty tons of concentrated CCA timber treatment roll onto a
farm padict north of the town. The cleanup involved inning
thirty tons of egg lime to the puddle, then digging
up sixty ton of dirt CCA and lime, and dumbing
at the local public dump. Not well known, the danger

(01:17:25):
that that will still pose. Oh yeah, I imagine that's
that stuff you don't want to mess with. He til
midnight tonight. People, it's all about spills, spills, spills and
more spills and if you want to talk about this,

(01:17:45):
and that's the topic for tonight and I'm enjoying it greatly.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine text Hello.

Speaker 41 (01:17:55):
Dennis, Hello Marcus. Are you well?

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Yes, thank you good.

Speaker 41 (01:18:01):
We were down south some years ago and crossed over
the coast and stayed in Fox Classia and an upmarket
suite was shouting ourselves and.

Speaker 10 (01:18:16):
The room wasn't.

Speaker 41 (01:18:17):
Ready, so they said, look, we want to wait in
the lounge area there, And being a trite wad, I
didn't get any wine from the bar, but I opened
a bottle of red wine that we were.

Speaker 10 (01:18:27):
Carrying with us legally, illegally illegal, just someone was going
to pay hotel prices, and we picked it up at
a bottle on.

Speaker 41 (01:18:36):
The way through, and we'd opened it and they said,
your room's ready. And I had a knapsack with two
holders on the sides where we put water and things
like that, so put the wine bottle into it, went up.
Beautiful place, white.

Speaker 42 (01:18:55):
Carpet.

Speaker 41 (01:18:56):
It was great, and I said, isn't this lovely? And
I spun around.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
Oh wow wow doing that, there's something I could have made.
The exuberance. It goes from a great moment to a
tragedy and like a safe second.

Speaker 41 (01:19:15):
So I poddled on down to the young less at
the counter and I told her what had happened, and
she said, well, it's too late to get anybody in now,
and gave me two bottles of soda water. Yeah, I said,
just chuck that on, and so I put that on her.
We stayed the night with red wine and soda water
in the carpet, and apologized profusely and pleased and voice.

Speaker 7 (01:19:38):
Me, all this.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Would it would have ruined your night, though, knowing that
because you couldn't enjoy it, because the stains you're talking
to you all night, Well you are look at still,
Look it's still there. It's not coming out. I would
have I would have gone salt, but she went, I
guess they couldn't get salt.

Speaker 41 (01:19:53):
No, uh no, she gave me soda water. I remember,
two big bottles of Yeah, and of course I was
wearing all the time. But it wasn't cheap. I thought God,
another couple of hundred of pace for the cap to
be cleaned.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
And oh, you'd be worried. You'd be worried about your
lost wine too, wouldn't you have been a title one?

Speaker 41 (01:20:13):
We didn't have a spear, mind you, it was acrosts
of the car. But never came. And though I wrote
them a letter all a couple of week months later
and told them and said I haven't got them voice,
and they came back and said, accidents through happened very
stayed insurance company or coming like that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:30):
So was it a screwtop or a call called not
you put nothing in the top of it.

Speaker 41 (01:20:36):
I can't recall exactly, but I'm pretty sure that I
would have put the screwtop on, but probably really. Now
let's get up there. We've been driving year privilege.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
Oh yeah, half cat, what a great room, spin round bang.

Speaker 41 (01:20:53):
And of course when we got there by Beloved said
you better take the backpack off. I said, no, that
was memories for the one reason. That's all.

Speaker 8 (01:21:04):
Yeah, we're all.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Being we all, we all can identify with your exuberance.
I like it a lot. Thank you. We're talking about
life chain.

Speaker 16 (01:21:11):
I love.

Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
I think that's my favorite story. Because I like that guy.
I just like I like these He's a tight one,
and smuggle another bottle under the just all of it.
And of course can you imagine with a sort of
a stupid backpack with a sort of in how smug
and feel putting the bottom to that sort of side
mesh pouch on the side of the pack. What's he
doing wearing it with a backpack either? Anyway, I just
love all of it splitting around Schafers pretty much the

(01:21:37):
great news and short story that one I might go
and listen to that again, said watching the America's Cup tonight.
Hello Brenda, Hello, Hello, okay, Brenda, its Marcus welcome.

Speaker 42 (01:21:52):
Yes, well my story isn't as nearly as elaborate as
the last two. But I went shopping with a male
friend of mine and we did a big shop that
the trolley was getting quite full. And then he did
he made a made a crucial mistake. He put a

(01:22:14):
two liter bottle of milk right at the front of
the trolley. And I thought, I nearly said to him,
all I near He said to him, all, we should
move that milk because it might you know, it might
come loose and you know, or something anyway, sure enough,

(01:22:37):
we were going to the checkouts and someone cut us
off or something and he swerved and the bottle rent
line and there was two and a half. There was
of milk all over the floor, and people were looking
at us and we're not looking frowning at us and things,

(01:22:58):
and I thought, oh, for an ext high school teacher,
you're pretty dumb.

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
Well at least you at least happened before we had
to check out. Better, that'd be my excitement there, sucked in.
You're done normal, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:23:14):
Hello.

Speaker 43 (01:23:16):
My story is last winter I ended up at our
local hospital where I was having some blood taken for
them to send away, so I have to came back.
They had to do another one, so they sent that away.

(01:23:38):
It came back clear, so they said you can go home.
So I walked down the road went to have a
coffee and the lady in the coffee shops said to me,
what's that all over your handbag and all down your arm?
So we looked and it was blood.

Speaker 22 (01:24:01):
Wow.

Speaker 43 (01:24:02):
So I ended up wow an emergency for them to
stop stop it because it had come all down out
of my arm, all down my fingers into my hand
bag and everythink but never mind, that's quite normal.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
That's that's that's quite a story. Did the person were
you having the coffee? Did they offer to take you
back to the hospital.

Speaker 43 (01:24:28):
No, she just said to me, what's that all down
your arm and my junkle was? I thought it felt
a bit damp, but I didn't take any notice in
the winter. Did you walk back it's going to have
my coffee and needle just to say I didn't get
my coffee after all.

Speaker 3 (01:24:49):
Did you walk back to the hospital.

Speaker 43 (01:24:51):
Yes. I went back up to the emergency and they
were talking to someone and I waited for that person
to finish, and then she looked at me and I said,
I'm just wondering. Could you do something about my arm please?
I said, boots are running all down my hand where

(01:25:14):
she jumped up and grabbed some tissues and raced me
back inside. So anyway, say, put the hut sing around
my arm and mucked around and done something or other
and put a class around it and everything and told
me not to move for twenty four hours.

Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
Great story, norm I didn't know where that was going.
That's fantastic. Thank you heard them all. Robbie Marcus, Welcome,
go Robbie oh y.

Speaker 22 (01:25:46):
Hello, Marcus, Hi, Robbie. These stories there, it could be interesting.
I came home from work one afternoon to find each
all over the road. I lived between Low Hut and
Upper Hut on that Manor Park Road before they changed
the main highway through, you know, the feeling straight and

(01:26:08):
straighten the whole thing up, just to run beside them
beside the hillside there at one stage, and I lived
on that road, and I came home to find all
these eggs all over the road. The truck had just
sort of lurched around the corner, and my mother was
out pat and visiting at the time, and she got

(01:26:29):
about five dozen eggs out of it, and the two
little cars that were coming along actually slipped off the road.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Wow.

Speaker 22 (01:26:39):
Yes, strange. And one other time I was coming home.
It was on the afternoon this time, and the truck
had lurched around this corner and spilt sugar all over
the place, and they were in those little one kilo

(01:27:00):
bags I think were so I managed to pick up
about five a six or seven, and then the fibrigade
came and washed pole that off, which was a bit
of alucance because I probably could have got a few
more bads. But the other funny one was I'm looking

(01:27:21):
up north now and I was going across the Russell
and I had my apprentice.

Speaker 6 (01:27:25):
In the track and.

Speaker 22 (01:27:28):
The art clip that was trying to get onto the ferry.
I had pushed the fairy out and the back wheels
dropped in the tide. At about five or six paces
of beer fell off the back and my apprentice said, oh,
that's all right. He said, I'm just gonna take my shirt.

Speaker 6 (01:27:47):
Off and dive in and came up crake the beer.

Speaker 22 (01:27:57):
An interesting afternoon.

Speaker 26 (01:27:59):
So we gave some of the builders as well. They
were pretty happy about that.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
So, good apprentice, what was your trade?

Speaker 22 (01:28:07):
We're plumbing.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
It was great. He went straight and that's to be.
Did he turn out to be a good, good plumber?

Speaker 42 (01:28:13):
Yeah he was.

Speaker 29 (01:28:14):
He wasn't too bad.

Speaker 18 (01:28:16):
He went towards he and started putting up, putting up
aircraft hangars.

Speaker 22 (01:28:21):
Would you believe? And ye talking about twenty thousand dollars
a week. So he's talking.

Speaker 3 (01:28:27):
Goodness, the good stories. Robbie, thank you for that. Stephanie,
Marcus welcome, Yes.

Speaker 35 (01:28:32):
Good evening, Marcus. I got a spill for you. ELL's
thirty one thirty ton or super phosphate.

Speaker 3 (01:28:41):
Oh that's a powder.

Speaker 35 (01:28:43):
Ah, it's a powder. It's a granulated powder.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
I can't even comprehend how much that is.

Speaker 35 (01:28:54):
It's an awful.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
It's a what it's an awful lot? Is it? Is
it more than a truck? Is it more than a
truck could carry?

Speaker 35 (01:29:03):
No, that's what I had in the bank of a
truck and trailer and I rolled it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
Oh wow, Yeah.

Speaker 35 (01:29:10):
It spilled it down the road, down the grass.

Speaker 7 (01:29:13):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:29:15):
Well the grass would have grown well there for a while.

Speaker 35 (01:29:18):
Nos, too much would have burnt it. What happens when
you too much fertilizer? One place? That burns them off.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
How'd they get rid of it? They just let it go,
They wash it away? What do they do?

Speaker 35 (01:29:33):
No, they got a little bobcat there and picked it
up and put it in another truck and took it away.

Speaker 3 (01:29:38):
And you were okay, obviously.

Speaker 35 (01:29:43):
Two weeks in hospital, hell surgery, and then twelve months
without a license.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Because it was your it was your era.

Speaker 35 (01:29:56):
I blanked out at the wheel because it was a
tumor in my head. Okay, wow, yeah, it was my fault,
but not my fault that that's not any medical misadventure.

Speaker 3 (01:30:09):
What would How many years ago was it, Stephanie?

Speaker 35 (01:30:12):
It was October twenty nineteen. Okay, yeah, so you're very
big consumer that I didn't even know I had.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
So now they have those monitors on the windscreen. What
have that picked up anything and saved you?

Speaker 35 (01:30:27):
I don't know because I don't know whether my eyes
were opened or my eyes were shut.

Speaker 44 (01:30:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
What did they say you would have had strange eye
movements beforehand or anything like that?

Speaker 24 (01:30:37):
No?

Speaker 35 (01:30:38):
No, they just asked me if I had headaches, and
I said no. And they asked me about blue vision.

Speaker 5 (01:30:45):
I say, no, do you remember?

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
Do you remember anything of it?

Speaker 35 (01:30:52):
I remember three million seconds. One is seeing brass coming
in from the left hand side and thinking what the
HiT's going on? And then I saw a black car,
and then the last one was I realized the truck
was breaking, but my book wasn't on the brake pedal.

(01:31:14):
And the next the next thing I know is I'm
coming to and the truck's on the side and thinking
I've dressed the truck.

Speaker 3 (01:31:24):
And what was the braking? Was it breaking because you're
automatic braking or because you're off the off the road?

Speaker 35 (01:31:31):
The trailer was hanging off the side of a massive
colvit sort of going sideways and that's put the electronic
braking system into the inter action. And yeah, so yeah,
And I didn't see a black car until I hopped
out and climbed out of the truck. It was underneath

(01:31:53):
the cab.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
Wow.

Speaker 35 (01:31:56):
So yeah, it was a bit scary when I saw that,
But the people in the car she was okay, and
so was the toddler. And it was when they got
me to hospital they found the tumor. And the following
week they took it out.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Was it daylight or was it daylight? Was it daylight?
A nighttime daylight.

Speaker 35 (01:32:20):
Pass in the afternoon on a Monday. Yeah, the team
that was only two and a half inches do I am?

Speaker 3 (01:32:31):
I wonder what I wonder? Yeah, yeah, it's it's a
pretty extraordinary story.

Speaker 7 (01:32:38):
Yep.

Speaker 35 (01:32:39):
And they were twelve months with no class five. I
got my wife respect and got a job again with
the company I worked with previously. And the first run
was back to Wellington doing an old run I used.

Speaker 3 (01:32:53):
To do cheap.

Speaker 35 (01:32:54):
Is she's doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
It's a pretty amazing It's a pretty amazing story. It
could have ended so much, It could have ended so
much worse. In sny ways couldn't it?

Speaker 35 (01:33:05):
Oh yeah, if you saw the photos of the colvit, yeah,
you understand how much worse it could have been if
the drug haead have not stayed on the road.

Speaker 25 (01:33:16):
Ye is it?

Speaker 3 (01:33:17):
Is it common for?

Speaker 42 (01:33:18):
So?

Speaker 3 (01:33:18):
What did they say? Was it was a brain tumor?
Does it common for praise brain tumors to cause something
like that?

Speaker 10 (01:33:25):
It is?

Speaker 35 (01:33:26):
It is because it's only got a press on the
wrong middle of the brain and it confects your eye
size to confess affect any any function. But it was
just where mine was that it blaked me out.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
Wow, yep, it's a good story, Stephanie, thanks for that cheapest,
good evening. Gillett's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 32 (01:33:49):
Hi, MICUs. I have got a small story. My father
and stepmother went to Scotland to see where my father's
mother was born, where his mother was born. While they
were there, they were given a beautiful container which had
whiskey in it. It was beautifully packaged, it was boxed,

(01:34:12):
it was everything else, and consequently he was delighted to
be bringing it back. They flew back through the States,
came back into Auckland, and when they got to customs
they had to put it on the table and the
guy from customs took it off him and put it
down quite heavy. Anyway, we my husband and I went
to pick them up, met them at the entrance, and

(01:34:34):
before we even got to the entrance we could smell
the smell of whiskey, and we didn't need to be
told what had happened. But anyway, the two came out
looking quite sheepish, and they put their bags on a trolley.
And as we pushed the trolley gently across the willing

(01:34:56):
the Auckland Airport, across the road and down to the car,
there was a little blobs everywhere, spots everywhere. Anyway, we
got to the car, we took the bad out of
the took the bags to the car, put the bags
in the car, and my dad decided he'd open the bag.
Sure enough, inside the bag was the broken bottle or

(01:35:19):
Kraft type thing that they had given him. The whole
thing had smashed, and the whiskey was afloat in my
father's bag with his jersey and his jacket. And so
we stood behind the car and my husband got his
jersey squeezed it out, and my father was kneeling down

(01:35:42):
with his mouth open and they tried to get as
much of the whiskey as he could get out the
jacket that had the plastic outer on it that didn't
squeeze so well, but he got he got his two
glasses of whiskey, even though they came through the jersey,
and that was his spill, and he was devastated, absolutely devastated.

(01:36:06):
We drove back to the Waycatto with all the windows
of the car down, and I'm sure to this day
that had we been picked up, four of us would
have been locked.

Speaker 14 (01:36:15):
Up for sure.

Speaker 32 (01:36:16):
So I just thought that was quite interesting.

Speaker 14 (01:36:18):
It was a big spelt.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Now, Jill who'd smashed it? Did the custom guy smash it?
When they got it out? What happened there?

Speaker 9 (01:36:25):
How?

Speaker 32 (01:36:26):
Basically, well, basically it was well packed and padded. But
when he was suspicious, when the guy put it up
onto the table as they do to check it, they
put it down with a thump, and it wouldn't have
been no, and it wasn't broken up to them because
my dad said, you couldn't smell it when it went

(01:36:46):
on the conveyor belt or anything like that. So when
he got there, the guy picked the bag up, put
it up onto the table, and he said it was
after that that he reckoned. He could smell it and
it was quite smashed like it, I mean to float
to a deckt in a jersey in a suitcase, you know, it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
Was completely it's messed, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
But it was.

Speaker 32 (01:37:09):
It was hilariously funny seeing my father standing behind the
car having his jersey squeezed out, the whiskey squeezed out
of his jersey, and it made it made for good
viewing for anybody that was walking past, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Did they pull the did they pull the stuff from
the suitcase? And too can tell that drang get straight
away as well? Did they?

Speaker 32 (01:37:28):
No, there was there was a wee container in the car,
so they squeezed the jersey into the weak container that
we had in the car, and he had he drank
it out of there, so there was there would have
been probably two oh, he would have got four nips
out of it, decent nips out of it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
I guess you'd be worried about little bits of glass too,
wouldn't you if you kind of filtrated the whole lot.

Speaker 32 (01:37:49):
Yeah, we were very careful that that wasn't happening, But
it was all through the jersey and all through the jacket,
and as I say, it took about four days before
we could took it before the smell got out of
the car too really, and it took a bit of
cleaning to get it out. But leaving Auckland to come
back down on the Southern Motorway, it just melt dreadful

(01:38:10):
and yeah, the windows were all down, I can assure you.

Speaker 3 (01:38:13):
For those whiskey fans, for those whiskey fans listening to
know what.

Speaker 32 (01:38:17):
Brand it was, it was it was a family brew
that was made and it was made in Campbelltown, just
north of Campbelltown. And yeah, so it was. It was
a family brew and they'd done it all right. Probably
in hindsight it should have been put in a box,

(01:38:37):
but it was in. It was well wrapped. You could
tell that when you under the bag. But it obviously
was put down to heavy somewhere. And yep, so.

Speaker 3 (01:38:48):
Good story, Jill, Thanks very much that Marcus dad lost
a whole back deck of clay tiles for ditching while
going around around a bit in the cargo. Hardly a survivor.
Marcus wasn't Sidney forty years ago living with a missus
broken as booked up a flash new TV. Went to

(01:39:09):
open the door to our unit block while carrying TV
and plastic TV slid out and smashed. Wasn't popular. Marcus
spills my three and a half year old daughter. Christmas morning.
We're all dressed up to go to Christmas lunch in
town and her aunties was gonna be a Ponzi fair.
We're just about to pile in the car when she
came down the passage. We just finished the rendit. We're

(01:39:30):
just renovated the EMU floorboard. She was covered in my
nail polish, red nail polish all over, a homemo beautiful
white dress with a trail of red nail polish following
over the newly sanded floor. Loull Marcus. I made my
debut for Cold Supermarket and dar When a number of

(01:39:52):
years ago as a night filler. The manager told me
it was it was my first night I was on
drinks as easy to fill. Apparently. I was sent out
the back to get a panel of large bottles. First time,
used a palette jack instead of just giving it a
couple of pushes. I maxed it out. First mistake. After
never getting through the heavy pestic curtains, I got some

(01:40:14):
pace up as it was a heavy poll. Took my
first left hand turn these I looked up to the
left hand side of the palette was on a forty
five slow motion. From then the whole left hand side
went crashing to the floor. The noise it made was massive.
Marcus I closed three aisles of the soup market down
for two and a half hours. All night fillers were

(01:40:36):
on mops and buckets before they had to get the
industrial cleaner in with walk behind scrubbers. Did you keep
your job, Carrie, it's Marcus.

Speaker 39 (01:40:46):
Good evening, Hey, good morning, good morning for me anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
Marcus, good Carrie, thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:40:56):
Hey.

Speaker 28 (01:40:57):
You've got a couple of stories.

Speaker 39 (01:40:59):
The first one was climb the smill, but I'll start
off for there.

Speaker 9 (01:41:02):
One.

Speaker 39 (01:41:02):
I was maybe about four years ago, now maybe shop
years ago. It was just coming out of a tie
happy event and by gone along and a guy come
up from the back and he come up to the
front and he goes, he goes, driver, it's important. Oh okay,
what's important? And all of a sudden he just chucked

(01:41:24):
all over the dashboard, power chucked message wow all over
the dash all over the floor. It was like maybe
a twelve o'clock at night or something, and I'll tell
you what. Whatever he had, the team man was on
my dashboard and so I had to pull into a garage. Mate,
that's just that's just talking me a to day clean

(01:41:46):
it up. And he tried hoping just leave it me old,
it's just easier than all possible.

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
There.

Speaker 39 (01:41:52):
So yeah, that was that was horrible. The second one
it's still there, yep, absolutely, yeah, the second one. I've
had a couple of a couple of views actually, but
i'll wake un to the sixth month. I was coming in
coming out of White Ducky and just about one o'clock
in the morning, there was a truck on the roundabout

(01:42:14):
and I was on its side and there was no
no appliance there or anything. There was stuffing there at
the stage and there are a couple of people on
the scene and there was all this liquid on the
road and I wanted to drive three set, they're all
about all the beer across the road. So I ended

(01:42:38):
up driving for the beer. But there was no broken right,
but storry is there for you.

Speaker 3 (01:42:45):
Take carry cary. You just come out just I just
got a question before you go. You know you are
a bus driver you are a bus driver drives north
and south. Do a lot of people get car sicker?
Is that kind of thing of the past now with
the modern roads and buses.

Speaker 39 (01:43:00):
Yeah, we don't get too much of the day. I
mean most people what they do quite that they on
the tablets pay before they may be. But what people
don't realize if they take a tape doesn't actually work,
doesn't work that way. You've actually got to take it
before you depart on whatever you're doing now, before you go. Yeah,

(01:43:22):
so you're right with modern modern gear and that. No,
we don't team together. Woul pretty come to you all
the e cons and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 22 (01:43:30):
All good.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
So how often would you get someone that's castick on
the bush?

Speaker 39 (01:43:36):
Normally they told me to say, and we still take
care of them and put them up front. But maybe
maybe once every few months or something.

Speaker 22 (01:43:44):
Probably.

Speaker 3 (01:43:44):
Okay, God, I'm happy to hear about it. I don't
appeal to used to get you to be terrible. Thanks,
nice to talk. Jona's Marcus, Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 30 (01:43:55):
Marcus is Joane here. Years and years ago, I had
a little fishing boat and we used to get the
salmon out of the tag of harbor and a fishing
boat was unloading its catch all been picked up in
boxes and they dropped a load over into the water

(01:44:16):
and they couldn't get it. They whistled out to us,
we got all these boxes of fish.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
Wow.

Speaker 29 (01:44:23):
I'm not sure if it was orange rubby or.

Speaker 7 (01:44:27):
Blue cord.

Speaker 30 (01:44:28):
I can't remember.

Speaker 29 (01:44:29):
It was so long ago.

Speaker 16 (01:44:32):
Wind.

Speaker 41 (01:44:34):
Oh.

Speaker 30 (01:44:34):
We couldn't get them all because they sunk. We had
the gift trying to hook them because they floated under
the wharf.

Speaker 29 (01:44:43):
So it was very difficult.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
It's a good day fishing. Was it all packaged?

Speaker 29 (01:44:48):
All packaged?

Speaker 30 (01:44:53):
I said to them, did they want the bag? And
they said no, they were damaged.

Speaker 29 (01:44:58):
Wow.

Speaker 30 (01:45:01):
Us they whistled out to us to come over and
get them.

Speaker 11 (01:45:08):
Yes.

Speaker 30 (01:45:09):
They couldn't do anything about it. So, oh, that was
a great fishing day.

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
That's a great fishing day. What do you reckon it was?
Was it good? It was it orange RUFFI or what
was it?

Speaker 30 (01:45:21):
I'm not sure now orange ruffy or blue cod?

Speaker 7 (01:45:24):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (01:45:27):
Story. Remember, Thanks for that, John, that's a rupper. Benet's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:45:35):
Hey Marcus, has it hang good?

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
Thank you? Ben?

Speaker 7 (01:45:39):
I like that story. I'd like to go fishing like that.

Speaker 3 (01:45:42):
Yeah, it's kind of what I expected. It's a good
story then.

Speaker 7 (01:45:47):
And I've got a couple of short ones were my
old man when he retired, he got my brother in
law or you know, to build his house for him,
retirement house. And anyway, the old man was there, mc
brother and lass his lot go to town and get
some pink bats and some jib. The old man jumped
in his Hylan six and away to town on his
trailer and his car. And he was pretty panicky, so

(01:46:11):
he would have been a going one hundred mile. And
the anyway, he gets the town, gets his stuff and
he comes back and he turned up to the boarding site,
it was just an empty trailer. He lost the gyp
and lost the pink bets on the way. Another one
that's just quickly was years ago when we were younger,
we had the farm and during the summer months we

(01:46:33):
had to go and spray all the gorse. Well back
then we were using two four five t and the
old man he'd go inside and he said to my sister,
he says, keeping on that tank hes to hold about
five hundred leaters or something. Keeping on that tank, I'm
going to have a don and that for a bit.
So he went inside and he sort of sat on
his chair and went to sleep for ten minutes. When

(01:46:54):
my sister forgot all about it. I don't even know
why he asked. And the stuff went all the way
down the driveway. It killed all the grass, and it
took about two years for anything to grow back. And
I even think it got some of my mum's sproom
and fruit trees. And yeah, no, there was a bit
of shite over there, or to you, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:47:10):
So it just was it just it was on a trailer,
was it.

Speaker 7 (01:47:15):
Yeah, it was on the tank. It was on the
three point linkage on the deck of your tractor. Yep,
you just saw the tank out. When you're go and
spray gorse, you just park her up and leave the
tractor running and then just out and spray your gorse. Yeah,
but I remember, brother, we used to spend keeps the
summer spraying that stuff out. And I mean like we
didn't even you know, like he'll be looking away and

(01:47:37):
then and you give me a quick glass with the
old spray gun.

Speaker 29 (01:47:40):
And that, and we need to just do shorts and
SIPs on. But hey, if normal, I've got six fingers
with everything fine.

Speaker 3 (01:47:53):
Brilliant, good on you being nice story. Thank you. Marcus
had a screen door stuck stick and grab the CC
spray too late. It was green cs rot stop went
all through the screen door and covered the inside carpet.
About thirty friends and family traveled to Fiji for a wedding.
The mother of the bride pecked in the same bag

(01:48:14):
as the wedding dress of re special bottle of red
wine to toast the bride and groom. We know where
this is going, don't we. The unspeakable happened. The dress
was ruined. The lovely woman the resort tried their best
to fix it, but instead it was dyed pink. You
want to be careful with wedding dresses and shippingha E

(01:48:35):
one hundred and eighty eight. Any with your spillage stories.
I did like the one about the guy in the
hotel with at the motel with the bottle of wine
when he spun around it was I had the beauty
of being identifiable. That story infinitely identifiable. By the way,

(01:48:55):
there's strong thunder and lightning around the country. If there's
flooding or anything. If you got breaking news, do let
us know. Yep here or midnight, and the America's Cup
starts at midnight. I think that's right. Actually, that's right,

(01:49:18):
isn't it?

Speaker 26 (01:49:19):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
But we won't be in it now because the elimination out,
so it's Louis Vuitton starts that we're not.

Speaker 26 (01:49:25):
In, right.

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
Are we? Why? Okay, we are in the round robin.
I'm not entirely sure why. Just a bit of information
because I don't know if you're up to scratch with
it or I'm up to scratch with it. But with
the America's Cup racing, so because New Zealand is in

(01:49:50):
charge of it, because we're the defenders, I think that
we're the ones that have had someone put in how
the Louis Vuitton race works. But because we want to
have more experience and match play, we are in it.
Normally it's just the ones working out who's going to
defend the Cup. So that's a good thing for New

(01:50:11):
Zealand to be in that. They thought that was to
their advantage to get some practice. But also since there
was an uneven number of challenges, New Zealand can go
and that means they can have three races each day
because there's six boats and there's not a buy, so
it makes for a better event. And then the person

(01:50:32):
the team with the most or the least points, however
it's going to work, gets to challenge New Zealand in
the America's Cup. So this is the Louis Vuitton one
that works out who the challenger is going to be.
So so what that means is that if you are
racing New Zealand, you'd want to win because you you know,
because you will get your points. So it's not they think,

(01:50:55):
oh well it's New Zealand, they're going to be there anyways.
Let that you know, all the all the matches matter,
and New Zealand's race against Luna Rossa is down for
twelve forty seven. I think with timing it goes pretty
well to it. It's I mean, that's the thing. I mean,
I can't quibble about the fact that it's it's bang
bang bang bang. You see the races when you want

(01:51:17):
to see the races. So race two for the day.
I'll be home at twenty past twelve. So I was
scared to see that one. That's the situation with that.
That's the America's Cup. Hello, Matthew, it's Marcus.

Speaker 26 (01:51:30):
Welcome yeah, I guess yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:51:34):
We had one of the worst bills.

Speaker 19 (01:51:37):
You ever won.

Speaker 35 (01:51:38):
Many many years, many.

Speaker 34 (01:51:39):
Many years ago, we lived on the on the southern
side of the of the the White for the Forest, and.

Speaker 15 (01:51:51):
We went to Bailey's Beach jigging.

Speaker 44 (01:51:54):
Tyros yes with my mother in an old thirty nine
chev with a rustbucket with a loose boot.

Speaker 19 (01:52:04):
And old and the floor so far. We got our
legal fifty and probably a few more, put them in
the boot of the of the Chevrolet and we headed
home back over the hill. Of course, the then days
the road wasn't sealed. It was all potholes and it

(01:52:25):
all dusty, and we didn't know that as every time
mother had a boot at a bump in the road,
one of the tarots filled out the.

Speaker 40 (01:52:33):
Boot of the car.

Speaker 15 (01:52:39):
Con Consequently, when we got home to think we had
I think it was three left in the bottom of
the bag I've flung behind us, and I had a
great feed of ts.

Speaker 3 (01:52:53):
Nice to hear from your Matthew. Thing of that ash,
good evening.

Speaker 25 (01:52:57):
Oh hi Marcus. About thirty years ago, I used to
work in a small rural hospital laboratory and one of
the things we had to do wasn't all that desirable
was to check out post a secondary seminal fluid to
make sure that patient was fire and blinks, you might say.
In any case, a patient turned up with a container

(01:53:21):
and it was a used two liter just juice container.
I don't know why you needed that volume. Any case,
we refused to do the sample testing because of it.
We hadn't even washed it out, but he phoned us
up and complained, so we end up doing it and
the damned thing was positive. So we had to actually

(01:53:44):
do a dilution and it was not a very pleasant
occasion doing all that testing.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
I don't even know that was a thing.

Speaker 25 (01:53:56):
Yeah, yeah, you've got to do that to make sure
the patient, you know the test, you know, the procedure
has been done properly.

Speaker 3 (01:54:03):
Did do that? How long after the physictive?

Speaker 5 (01:54:06):
Do you do that?

Speaker 25 (01:54:08):
A few months? A few months?

Speaker 13 (01:54:12):
Yep, and I do it?

Speaker 3 (01:54:15):
For goodness? What a story, Thanks, Ivor, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:54:23):
Yeah, thanks for that. Let's say again, thanks for that.
Oh yeah, yeah, you're speaking here. Yeah, I've got a
spilled story. I've got a yea, that's okay. I've got
a spill story for you. But seven years ago, I

(01:54:45):
was up on the fourteenth floor of a building at
the office of China Relines, and I had my dog
with me and he'd your reception of the death and
nice ladies there, and he decided to do a weei
on the cap just in front of the counter. It's

(01:55:08):
my spills story.

Speaker 3 (01:55:10):
Is it a comfort as a companion dog? Yes, so
you can take it everywhere.

Speaker 10 (01:55:17):
I was looking at us. I went to you to
get to find out how to get him over the Shanghai.

Speaker 3 (01:55:26):
But you have a companion dog Beijing, okay, Terry Marcus, welcome, Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:55:36):
I told you before I used to work follow the
INTI response. So we have a lot of spills on
the road. The worst one, Marcus, was chicken fact underneath
the Peppercora bridge, before the before the BP garage.

Speaker 25 (01:55:50):
On the highway.

Speaker 27 (01:55:51):
Yeah, there was kick in fact.

Speaker 3 (01:55:54):
Be hard. They'd be hard to remove.

Speaker 27 (01:55:56):
To have a water blaster, yeah, you have a hot
hard to take a hot water yet blast of it
took ours. But Marcus, I know no crash is good.
But do you know a good spill?

Speaker 21 (01:56:09):
What a good spiller is?

Speaker 27 (01:56:11):
If you go to jonahlone with school and the other
turn off goes to Glenn Brook, and there used to
be a garage there.

Speaker 2 (01:56:21):
Yep.

Speaker 18 (01:56:22):
You've been that way, yep.

Speaker 27 (01:56:25):
Or guess what, Marcus a countdown fahlipped on his side.
We had about twenty of us there. We had to
close the road off. The insurance guy said, what's in
the containers? It's going to the dump. We've never had

(01:56:50):
so much eggs. For the last month we had smoke fish.
We had smoke fish all the courtesy of wood.

Speaker 38 (01:57:00):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:57:01):
When was this, Oh well, I.

Speaker 27 (01:57:04):
Went there from two thousand and one to twenty sixteen,
I would say about the about two thousand and nine,
somewhere around there. And yeah, and so the you know,
the cops have to close the road and the insurance
guy comes along and blah blah blah, and I was
condemned and just because of Grace, and I suppose insurance

(01:57:25):
are payper. And we've never had so much groceries, a
whole lot of us.

Speaker 3 (01:57:30):
That's out by Pyra Road. That's where John A. Lomu's school,
was it, Whizley? Is that right?

Speaker 7 (01:57:35):
Yes?

Speaker 27 (01:57:36):
Right down Marcus. Just before that, there used to be
a turn off.

Speaker 10 (01:57:39):
Grembro yep, yep.

Speaker 27 (01:57:41):
And to the to the Wesley School and on the
on the corner used to be an old lare ditchal garage.

Speaker 3 (01:57:48):
Marcus nice to hear from you. Thank you. Terry years
ago as a crane driver on the terrace and one
he is in. My monthly job was to grease the
bearings out al the twenty gallon drum up the howk
twenty stories above the terrace. This particular month I went
to swing it onto the tower of the crane. However,
it came off the howk and plunged to the road
of the terrace. No one hurt, but eight thirty am

(01:58:10):
Pink Hour resulted many male and female office workers returning
home looking at the dance crew of the Black and
White Minstrels. True story Patrick. Years ago, my cousin was
leaving for her wedding in Graymouth. The driveway had just
been resurfaced. There was ast felt over spray on the
shrubs either side. As she walked to the car, her
wedding dress brushed against the shrubs and some assp felt

(01:58:33):
stuck to it. She freaked out and bursted tears, thinking
a precious trek was destroyed, precious dress was destroyed. My
uncle settled her down, saying that he had a bottle
of turps. It would easy remove the tar. The few
black speckles soon became a huge smudgy stain as big
as your hand. Wedding anniversary since then is celebrated by

(01:58:55):
getting on the terps cheers alistair great final sentence to
that one, Like that very much.
