Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be good evening. Want a welcome Marcus hit till
twelve o'clock to night. Fun fact about me, went to
bed last night at about half past twelve, woke up
at quarter past twelve this afternoon. No idea what I
must still on the mix?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Right?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know I've got noise. You put on the white
noise in the eyemask and next thing you oga bomp
flip because lo of your work, go to bed late,
the sun and the noise, everything wakes you up. But yeah,
cheap is creepy. Anyway, I'm not complaining, just ton't have
much of a day left. Has just come from the
basketball Sharks. We're taken to it by the Taraniki Ears,
but looks like it's forty eight forty three now, So

(00:44):
the Sharks just going out in front. Ryland Jones is
not playing to he's their star Utah import So anyway,
it was a good match for the first half, good attendance.
They're actually on a wet and windy and cold in
vocable Thursday night. How are you going, Pete? What's happening
in listening to end. By the way, the shortest day

(01:05):
is next week. That came along quickly, didn't it. I'm
excited about that. The winter solstice. If you've got breaking
news where you are, if you want to set the agenda,
feel free to do that. You can actually phone it in.
I'm not quite sure we will end up in what
we end up talking about tonight. The back topics that
always fuel. I filled up tonight. I thought it was
quite cheap. I don't even think I got to one
fifty and I was on e for enough. I don't like.

(01:29):
I don't like not knowing how far I can go
on empty. It causes me panic, not panic, but I'd
like there to be a bit indicated with how far
I've got left to go, or I'd like a reserved
little switch you could switch for a little bit more
like you said on motorbikes. I always thought that was
quite useful. So yes, I don't know too much about that,
but I thought they're probably anyway. But to me, where

(01:51):
as I going with this, oh, the fuel seemed cheaper.
It was exciting. I thought. Anyway, welcome here till twelve.
As I say, if you want to set the agenda,
there is a there are a number of exits around
the country tonight too, So be careful. Well, I mean
you should always be I feel stupid saying be careful,
you should always be careful. I mean I probably optimistically
I should say, I should say, you'd be careful if
there's be no cushes, because the chance to crash coming

(02:13):
up is higher. People are complaining about the potato prices
at New World between different stores what I wrought supermarkets
and groceries are Has anyone actually come across one of
those bags of rotten potatoes? We had one of those?
What do you do with those? We needed potato? We
didn't go buy more was the inconvenience, but come all
the way into town to get the potatoes. Anyway, it's

(02:36):
our own fault, Curtis. This is Marcus. Welcome, good evening,
Welcome to the air waves. How are you going?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (02:42):
You get you know?

Speaker 6 (02:43):
I was just listening through.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
I honestly, when I get down to Elight, I like,
I'll drive until I run out of gas, and as
soon as ELI hits, I'll flick my little button there,
just count the case right down until I run out again. Yes,

(03:06):
make sure I've got my jewelry. Can and U and
the boot.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
So you're running a self survey. You're seeing how FA
you've gone on it? Yeah, man, yeah, yeah, so and
how far?

Speaker 7 (03:19):
What?

Speaker 8 (03:20):
What?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
What are you drive? You'd be a double gab mute
sort of a guy, would you.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
I would love to have the double care Actually at
the moment, I'm just driving the old Haval, quite a
new one. I've never run it on E, but.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
So you have. You haven't worked out how much you
got it on yet?

Speaker 5 (03:37):
No? No, I've never let it get that low.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
But if I did that, I do will be the
way that I went about it.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
What's the guy would never get the car down to E?
You must be a cautious kind of a fuller.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, well yeah, it's the job.

Speaker 9 (03:54):
Is the job requires?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh yeah, don't take this, don't don't take this the
wrong way. But I think that's an electric car, the Haval,
isn't it?

Speaker 5 (04:02):
This is one point five?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I got the one point five A cheepers, creative? Is
it a road rocket?

Speaker 9 (04:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Goes good, so too?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is it the turbo?

Speaker 9 (04:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Cheepers, Okay, good on you, thank you, Jim jep. I
don't even know what that is. A Haveval sounds like
a religious song. Who makes the havar?

Speaker 9 (04:23):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Is it a quarem car? I mean car? Can't keep
up with cars now it's a crossover od. It's a
great wall to compact crossover cheapers creepers. Looks like every
other car, don't They're all designed now by the by
the wind tunnel. They're look identical. I think it might

(04:44):
be some of them might be made in Iran. Some
are made in Bulgaria. Someone made in Iran. Don't know
they assemble cars in Iran. Oh would never we learn?
Get in touch if you want your My name is Marcus, welcome,
oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. How far does
your car go on E? And how would you know?
So as I want to know what people have stopped
buying because of rising prices. Never let it go but

(05:06):
less than a quarter, because otherwise you can get crap
and your fuel fulder. I have never once filled up
my car before it's on E, not once, not ever.
I wouldn't I find it. I find the psychological bear
having to go and remember your pin, and I find
it too hard. I imagine these days you're doing of
those internet tests that put you on medications. Say you're

(05:29):
add or something or ADHD or whatever. But yeah, I'm
not gonna. I can't do it. But I think I
suspect it's got eighty because I'm in Bluff and it's
thirty five k's. You don't to get stuck on the
Bluff Road because you're walking with your Jerry Can to
the station from the black You know people you'd get
noticed anyway. Get in touch market Hill twelve, Marcus, I've

(05:53):
always found interesting in the media and the government called
the supermarkets a cartel. Why is it interesting? I think
they call it a cartail. I think they call it
a duopoly, Marcus. When you buy a twenty kilogram bag
of potatoes, the big ones are on top and lots
of small ones underneath. I just think that would happen
in transport. That'd be self sorting, wouldn't they The big
ones would rise. I don't they're pecking them that way.
I think that's just the way when they come to market,

(06:15):
they would move around within the sack. Marcus. I've got
a Honda Odyssey, and I can do fifty k's after
my life comes on. But like Homer's odyssey, how long
did homergo on his odyssey that was twenty years? Was
it fourting past eight? And I presume they can't tell
you how far you've got on e is because they
don't know whether you're going to go around town or

(06:36):
on the open road. But they should just tell you
how many liters you've got, like I'd probably look that
up in my instruction book, but the instruction books have
got so big these days. You open up the glove
box and that that sound of that heavyweight to that
book falling is just so. And most of us to
do with that stupid screen with the technical stuff in there,
and don't get me started, just doesn't work for me anyway, Marcus.

(07:00):
My spinding hasn't changed it yet. It depends on what
you choose to buy, whether the increase in price affixed you, eg.
Buying fruit out of sea. Most cars fifty to eighty
k's on that ten reserve tank. I think I do
six point nine k's to the litter I get sixty nine.
I old have mentioned where are you going with this?
I've got no idea. I was talking about being the

(07:21):
eph enough. I thought with a hybrid car there'd be
battery on charged it. After all, you haven't actually I
haven't actually run it out. I will one day, just
for the giggles. I did see a guy things you
see on YouTube. I did see on the internet today
a guy replaced his engine oil with maple syrup and
it ran pretty well smelt good too. What an amazing

(07:42):
world we live in that you can do that. You
can get followers by putting maple syrup in your car.
I watched it till the end. I was riveted. But
I'll watch anything that's kind of interesting, like like some
of those street vendors in India making utensils out of
old oil tins. Every time I watched those videos about
people at India, Gee, a lot of people in the

(08:02):
background tooting, aren't there. It's a pretty tooty kind of
a place, isn't it. I got to handle that. Marcus
Weave a Ford raptor, always topping up. Don't want the
night we're having to fill it up from e cheers.
I guess that's not the that's not the nightmare. That's
how much it's going to cost. Aim On, This is Marcus.
Welcome and good evening are you?

Speaker 6 (08:19):
Marcus?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Good am On you? Sam Brighton, Breezy, You've had leaving
a good night sleep yourself. What's up?

Speaker 10 (08:25):
I'm doing all right mate?

Speaker 7 (08:26):
I'm from Woodhill Mirror, I beats Helensville beautiful, beautiful, Yeah, yep,
and no, just make a really love your show and
just yeah, just the stuff that's going on in New
Zealand after all at the moment is just that's crazy.
The richer are getting the richer and the poor are
getting poor. And how do we break the cycle?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
You got the ideas aim on?

Speaker 6 (08:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (08:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Are you feeling a cost of living crisis?

Speaker 4 (08:55):
I'm trying to.

Speaker 10 (08:56):
I'm trying to.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, but I mean, thing's got tough for you this year.

Speaker 11 (09:02):
I'm okay.

Speaker 10 (09:03):
I'm okay because I've got this little five a a
lock and wood Hill.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And you know you'd be growing your own stuff, wouldn't you.

Speaker 10 (09:11):
Yeah, a few Arab sheep and things like that.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
You know, things and things are.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Where'd you get the Arab paris from? Did you get
them from Arab Para itself or you've got a connection.

Speaker 10 (09:19):
No, Funnily enough, I didn't.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
I got I got a couple of a couple of
them from Dairy Flat and the other two were from Bongeray.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yep, they got horns.

Speaker 10 (09:31):
They have got some beautiful looking horns.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
And got those yellow eyes.

Speaker 10 (09:35):
Hey they have you know they're half goat. Yeah, they're good.
Look they're good looking. Sheet they're They're.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Not actually half half goat though, are they?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I don't know if I don't know if a sheep
would breed with a goat, but they are. I think
they're from the Middle East. Are they from whalers?

Speaker 4 (09:51):
I don't know, Marcuts.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
All I know is they could I see them from
the main road if I drove past your property.

Speaker 7 (09:57):
You'd have to come off State Highway sixteen K Road,
Davidson Road up.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
On the hill.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, d yeah, I'm with you.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
You know where are Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Well how many? How many? How many have you gone?

Speaker 10 (10:09):
I thought it was sex and Marcus.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Readers, does the meat taste any different?

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Phenomenal?

Speaker 10 (10:17):
Absolutely phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Are you home killing them or are you taking them
to the ebitoire home killing? Yes, sheep is creepy. You
got it going on?

Speaker 10 (10:25):
Not as good as down in the mainly, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Oh yeah, but yeah, I means that I'm in like heritage.
That's over the answer. And and I've got a jog,
but nice to talk to. Thank you for that twenty
past day. Get in touch if you want to. Woo
Marcus just got home, laid back on bed, switch on
ZB of course, spark up a cigarette see old style analogue. Yes,
I've been around town dinner at one mate to boil

(10:48):
up bacon bones. Then I went round for another mate.
She's trying to get spark plugs for a car. So
Strato is on Ali Express haha. Anyway, relaxing now talk
about supermarkets, waughters. There are a bit lighter at supermarkets
even Peck and save four point fifty five dollars each.
There are other places around ten and one hundred percent
two dollars each for a big lighter, or another place

(11:09):
you can get two for five dollars. How does that work?
Super Markington, you rip me off and then you and
all news inland is off. So are you saying that
that that cigarette lighters are more expensive the SuperMac than
everywhere else? He's a good for you, Marcus. But daughter
purchased a car from a dealer ten days ago, drove
it from christ Church to Yuamadu and the engine sees

(11:29):
towed back to christ Church. Eight am today, does the
dealer have to replace the car. I'd imagine so Marcus
fought up with a ute today with Diesel one three
five six weeks ago that was two twenty go. You
get in touch if you want to. I've never ready
questioned how much a bit lighter would cost. I mean,
that sounds smart, doesn't it. But I think we'd probably

(11:50):
just get them occasional for the fire. The thing about
a bit lighter, you said, it's always seemed like quite
good value for money because it's always worked. Because some
of those other lighters were that sea, that see through
kind of cart I don't like. I don't like those
fla what are they? Those sketchy ones. I think the
bix of design classic. I thought five dollars is a
bit Steve, I picked it about a two dollars anyway,

(12:11):
get in touch if you want a twenty one past
State Marcus. Till twelve, I've slept a lot, so I've
got a lot of energy tonight. A lot of you
have been up watching State of Origin. Watched it again today, Marcus.
Fun fact about the window solstice is that the earliest
sun set is a week before the shortest day, and
the latest sun rises a week before the shortest day, Marcus.
This seems to be as short as your breakfa cereals

(12:33):
and supermarkets. That was at lunchtime today. Never seen call
flakes and rice bubble shelf that lo since COVID we're
about day u zach that is empty. Seems like there
might be something going I might be doing with a
fuel crisis. So yeah, I don't know about that. I
don't think anyone if it's panic buying cereal are they?
But you might want to mention that took keep you've
done it with the news when that happens. Oh wait,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty I see the herod

(12:55):
apps changed. I tried to download it, but can't get
back into it because I don't know the reason. I
just wish they wouldn't update apps. No one wants an
updated app. Just PEP want consistency. They just want to
be there when they needed to be there and not
have to rethink up passwords for Google and stuff. Drives
me crazy. Sixty nine sixty Southland Sharks over the Tardaranaki

(13:16):
ears he is at the three throw free throw line.
Now it's twenty six past eight. Greetings and welcome if
you're going to be in touch, how are you going people? Oh,
by the way, they are on the quest now for
New Zealand's best chips. Now, I love a food I
love a food search and the quest. I don't have
a lot to say about hot chips, but what I'm

(13:38):
going to say is important. They're much much better than
they used to be for a long time. There. For
a while, you'd be on a bus trip somewhere and
you'd stop in some small town. You get yourself a
serving of chips, and they would be terrible. The shop
would smell and the oil hadn't been changed, and they
taste really really. These days, I think chips are pretty good.

(13:59):
I think we've come a long way for chips, kitchen
chicken salt. I resent the question they say, would you
like chicken salt? I thought, Firstly, I think is that
even a word? Chicken salt? Secondly, when did that even
up a question people should be able to ask, right,
I missed the memo. There wasn't something when Other Box

(14:20):
said that suddenly now chip shops are going to be
offering chicken salt. Sometimes it just arrives without being asked.
I don't know. I don't like change, and suddenly when
people are throwing things at me, I've never I feel
threatened and intimidated and old. So I don't want chicken salt.
And I don't even want to be asked if I
want chicken salt. So yeah, so it's problematic for me.

(14:44):
I've got other things to say about chips. I'm not
entirely sure if I understand the whole what they're cooked
in process. I know people are going back to them
cooked in fat and tallow and stuff like that. Anyway,
I just know when chips I think. I think chips
are like pies, always delicious and not that easy to

(15:06):
get wrong. But maybe someone's got some subtle differences whether
they like them. I always not sure about the double packing.
When you've got them in a cardboard container in a bag,
is it a good or a bad thing? And sometimes
you'll get chips uput a hole in the bag to
let the air out. We endo that I don't know.
There's those shoe string what's a shoe string? Why is
it called shoe strings? That mean like a shoelace. I've

(15:28):
always been kind of a little bit crappy about why
they call it shoe string. What's a shoe string? They
called shoe string fries. It just sounds wrong, doesn't it.
But they reckon. They're worse for you because there's got
four times the surface area and four times more fat
to hard on your arch or arteries. So I don't
know if that's a good thing. So yeah, cranky fries,

(15:49):
curly fries, I think that's a gimmick. Do you want
the kink or the bend in them? I don't know.
So anyway, if you've got a shop that's going over
the top with the fries, once in a while you'll
see a place that makes their own fries. There was
a place in Pea har that's now gone that cut
them all. I think the local boys brigade or scouts
made their chips tremend ah but gone now. I don't

(16:10):
know why. So license to print money. They were delicious,
but they made them themselves. Anyway, what is a shoe string?
But that's a discussion for the next hour. You can
name a shop. You can say, oh, jeepest creeper is
a new guy down the road or a new woman
down the road, and you wouldn't believe it. She's extraordinary
what she's doing is inter comment there. Just doing a

(16:30):
quick google too. Shoe string means shoe lace, so one
there called shoelace fries. I've never understood why they called shoestring.
I've always, in the back of my mind felt confused
to what a shoe string is. I know they talk
about a shoestring budget, and why is even called a
shoelace budget. So none of these expressions make much sense
to me. But chips, What'll be the best chips you've

(16:51):
ever had? And I think the answer that depends on
how hungry you were. I don't want to go back
to the downtown bus terminal on the seventies. It was
a mister Chips digging across to the bus terminal, always good,
always les. She's almost sort of the entry portal to
the big smoke. You got there off the bus and
there was the mister Chips. Got your chips, you're away,
Go visit a record shop, look through the albums. Oh

(17:14):
simpler times anyway, So where would be the best chips?
And there might be someone doing them a bit quirky.
I don't know who that would be, but yeah, chicken, chicken, chicken,
chicken salt. There's salt in the salt. You call it
chicken flavored salt, wouldn't you. I don't think. I don't
think the Kumuda fries are a good thing. I think
they're a bit of a fail. Marcus chicken salt or

(17:38):
garlic salt been available for years now out fish is
so what doesn't mean I can't be intimidated by it.
Scooper chips the other day four dollars forty Papa Nui
christ Just that sounds like a lot. But I'll tell
you one thing, and I'm only going to say this tonight,
and I say this probably once a year. If you
are in town, and you've moved to a town and

(17:58):
you've brought the fish and chip shop, there's two things
you need to do if you're taking over a small
town's fish and chip shop. The first thing you need
to do is, certainly for the first year, is be
very generous with your chips. And the second thing you
need to do is to get on the local Facebook
page and monitor it assiduously, because within a day of
you opening that shop, someone's gonna buy some chips, and

(18:21):
they're gonna rip the chips open. They're gonna take a
fight and they're gonna put on Facebook and say guess
how much or would you call this a scoop? And
you need to fight that battle. And as soon as
that happens, you need to say, look, I'm terribly sorry.
It was a new person working there. They've underserved you.
Come back and we'll give you twice as many. Because
yet it's not good because a community Facebook page combined

(18:43):
with an unhappy customer can sink your business. So always
be generous with your chips. Always, just certainly you get
your feet on and then you can do all sorts
of things. Then you can employ the local people and
do it. Gives you that freedom, the lost leader if
it needs be. So don't text men. Tell me why
they're called shoe string fries, because they should be called

(19:03):
I know what a shoe string is, it's a shoelace.
But when anyone I need a new when did anyone
ever say I need a new pair of shoe shoe strings? Never?
So call them shoelace fries. We don't call them shoe
strings of this country, Pauline. That's Marcus. Good evening, I'm welcome.

Speaker 12 (19:19):
Hello, Marx. I was very busy doing a.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Crosswork when I give me a clue.

Speaker 12 (19:26):
Oh okay, hang on just a minute. What was the
name of Australia's fifth prime minister?

Speaker 2 (19:33):
This is a highly advanced Have you got any letters?

Speaker 12 (19:36):
No, by the way, really okay, Ah, you're cheating.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Why am I cheating?

Speaker 12 (19:44):
Because you're looking up Google?

Speaker 2 (19:46):
No, I'm not. Okay, got my hands on my head.

Speaker 12 (19:49):
All right, I take that back?

Speaker 2 (19:50):
How many letters?

Speaker 12 (19:51):
Six?

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't think I could know. I don't think I
go back. I don't think. I don't know who the
promise was during World War Two?

Speaker 12 (19:58):
Okay, I'll tell you why I really rang. I love
Kumera chips and if I had a new fish and
chip shop, I would put in my window a big
sign that said free for the first week Coumera chips.
You'll love them. Yeah, and they're good for you?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Well are they? What about the Australian Prime What about
chunky fries? Those Messi fries. They're not that good either,
are they chunky?

Speaker 13 (20:25):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (20:25):
No? No, no, no, no, you want camera?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Does your local chippy? Does your local chippy do Cumra fries?

Speaker 14 (20:31):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 12 (20:31):
No, I don't go to the local fish and chips.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Where do you go for your Cumra fries. You make
them yourself. Yeah, just chop up at the UK.

Speaker 12 (20:39):
Just this power boiler kumera, chop them up, finish them up.
And yeah about the Australian Prime Minister, Yes, I'm making
it up.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Owned, absolutely owned. And then it has to be for
googling it because here I am threatened with the level
and caliber of crosswords some of these people doing, because
that's like cheap as creepers. I couldn't even say who
the fifth New Zealand Prime Minister was, or I probably could.
He was our first one said in It would probably
be Coats or Ward from Bluff. I don't know who

(21:21):
the fifth would be, but it'd be one of those
ones I would think or balance anyway, Marcus, I can't
eat more than about ten Kumbra fries. The taste doesn't
work for mess consumption. Oh my god, chicken salt, the
cocaine of salts on krinckled cut fries from Charlie's Chicken
and chips and nine I love hut too good. Try
hot chips dipped and stripped in sugar. Life changing in

(21:42):
the emergency ward life changing. I would imagine maybe the
person who came up with the saying shoe string couldn't
afford shoelaces a free good Point Burger Wisconsin and Silver
Stream Upper Hut have Kumaa fries. Burger Wisconsin still a thing,
they would have hit the wall, Marcus, chicken salt must
be a South Island thing. Never heard of it up here.

(22:03):
It could well be. I think it probably is cool
your shoe string fries over chunky fries any day. Chunky
fries are just the pub being lazy cutting the potatoes.
I'll never recover from Poulin making that up. Marcus. My
flatmate just got over, pulled over, and she told the
cops she had no waft. She got away with it
good honor. Always like when someone gets away without getting

(22:23):
a ticket. Anyway, we're all about chips and fries. We'll
get a night out of that. It won't be a
great night. It won't be an award winner, but we'll
get a night. I've done my dash. What with the
excitement of the selling your retirement village and then favorite
teat What are we talking about on Monday, Dwan? Something
earth shattering. I can't remember fancy chicken salt not been
available in the North Island. I thought it would be

(22:44):
by now a nationwide thing. I had no idea. It
was just a South Island thing. So I've learned something tonight,
and that's always a good night run learning. Hayden, it's
Marcus got living and welcome.

Speaker 15 (22:54):
Yeah, Hi Marc is here?

Speaker 16 (22:55):

Yeah, yeah, those what's beautiful?

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Most of us that aren't they organized to buy and
cook your own ships. How long would they take to
cook in the oven?

Speaker 11 (23:29):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (23:30):
Well, it depends that it's cooking in the oven or
if you have a deep fire home or fry, they
usually take about keeping it in the deep bi twenty
ish fifteen to twenty a saven.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
I've been plast the town. They've got the giant chips
on the roof, haven't they or something at the factory.

Speaker 11 (23:49):
Yes, that's the.

Speaker 18 (23:50):
One, okay, brilliant chip.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Are you a south Are you a South Island? Are
you a South Islander?

Speaker 18 (23:57):
How did you get there?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Did you know chicken salt was a South Island thing?

Speaker 8 (24:01):
Oh I didn't, No, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (24:03):
They're either pop talking about season Brian's four years at
the Night and Day Now they have so many different
types of seasonings that you.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Can put on your check Oh, boycott, I don't go
to the Night and Day after they started charging two
dollars for tomato sauce. For your part, I've given up
on them.

Speaker 15 (24:22):
Oh that's bloody criminal.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, no, I've got no time for them. People are
this's no. I've just I won't go near them, and
it's maybe feel much freeer. You can't do that. They
gave up with those tiny sachets and they decided to
dispense their own absolute exploitation. It is, Yeah, And I've
never seen a shop that just sells such rubbish food.
There's nothing healthy there. It's not for me.

Speaker 15 (24:48):
And more so if you go to the check shop
Olive and Jonson and Concord takeaways, brilliant chess there they
don't cook and see the oil they cook and.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Tell oh, yeah, you'd be one of those Joe Rogan listeners.
They wouldn't you.

Speaker 18 (25:06):
I wouldn't go there.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I reckon. You'd be on the quiet potty with him.
He's going up banging on about that for years, hasn't he?

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (25:13):
I think so?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, who's your favorite Hayden? Who's your favorite Hayden?

Speaker 15 (25:19):
Who's your favorite Haiden?

Speaker 18 (25:21):
Um, I'm trying to think.

Speaker 15 (25:24):
I think that's eventually of all teegl.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Ah say Hayden Titana. Do you remember him with the
Fine Cotton ringing? One of those names you can't forget.
They swapped a horse. It's a big harness racing scandal.

Speaker 8 (25:37):
In the day.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
There was a key weird Assi, the old switcher Rooney
with a horse and made themselves a handy a pocket
of money. I don't know the name of the horse
they swapped it with. He got a lifetime ban, not
the horse, Hayden. He's got his own Facebook page now,
Fine Cotton. It's a great story in the day, got

(26:01):
got switched for bold personality. But it wasn't a very
good switch because the horses were different colors, and they
dyed the horse with Claire Old hair coloring, but they
forgot to peroxide the legs. Therefore they applied white paint. Yeah,
it was funny because it was anyway Hayden. He's my favor.

(26:23):
He's my favorite. Hayden probably one of the probably New
Zealand's probably Australasia's third most famous horse. Fine Cotton don't
have something. I've had people up the show that remember
old Hayden Hitana lovely bloke, but the old switcher Rooney
didn't work. Fifteen to nine, Get in touch, Mark, it's
an exciting game of basketball. The Sharks will lose us

(26:44):
the first shut. This is their first loss in ten matches.
Tarannickys have done well. They're up in ninety to eighty four.
It's a win away. So no reports around getting chicken
salt in the North Island, which is a concern. Oh anyway,
getting touched Marcus till twelve, fifteen to nine, get in

(27:07):
touch if you want to await one hundred and eighty.
By the way, the fine I'll tell you more about
the Fine Cotton ringing. They had another horse planned with
that horse injured, so they did have a horse that
looked identical to Fine Cotton. But yeah, that's what happened
in that to get another one at late moment.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Marcus seacraft fish and chips and Winuamata. He makes the chips,
the old fashion away from scratch, delicious beast anywhere I
believe they would be. I mean a very nice person
at one of a broadcaster at the radio awards who
was in Winuyamata. He was good. I think, what's the
I think he might be more of him Wellington. They
were drive show there, Robbie, it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening,

(27:54):
Marcus good, Robbie good.

Speaker 19 (27:57):
Hey, chicken salt spin. In the North Island, Shrince O
lived here. I'm actually from the South Island in the
eighty early eighties, eighty eighty four. I moved up from
mid Canerary winter Gismond and you travel around a bit,

(28:20):
but yeah, it's been here for you.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
That person told me you couldn't. It was a South
Island thing.

Speaker 19 (28:29):
I've got no idea.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
It was, by the way, what is it.

Speaker 20 (28:35):
It's it's quite.

Speaker 10 (28:38):
Oh what's the word, but like spicy.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
It's just different from the chicken.

Speaker 19 (28:44):
I've got no idea. But by memory, it's.

Speaker 10 (28:51):
Not white, it's like.

Speaker 9 (28:55):
Brownish.

Speaker 19 (28:56):
So I've got no idea. I was dating a lady
and we.

Speaker 7 (29:00):
Stopped just out of.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Wrote a room.

Speaker 19 (29:03):
We went to this little wee shop. We bought some
chips and chicken and whatever. They said, you want chicken
saldas to gel into that whatever that is.

Speaker 21 (29:14):
And it was quite nice.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
What a great what a great love story that is,
just met someone and they get the old your world
blind by chicken sald.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
I've love it all of that, bad lads, just for
the rever.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Brilliant good on here, Robbie, thanks for that. Just for
the record, nine to nine. This is interesting. Best chips
ever back in nineteen seventy ninety to me, when my
school friend Rob Yee's family ran a takeaway and courtney place,
his grandmother chopped up his spuds out the back into

(29:46):
the best chunky chips ever. In the eighties, the Larabe
Fish and Chip Shop made homemade chips the only place
and the entire ones and the arrowed by fish and chips. Graham,
I don't know why people aren't doing that. I've seen
there's been food carts at some of those. You know,
you get an event like the Coumua show is that
did that, But they're not humble with it. They're sort
of propping them with great alacrity.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Away.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
They taste all right, but the song and dance sort
of puts you off because like they're just fries. You know,
even saved a kid's life. But yeah, but anyway, that's
I'm all. I'm a fan of handcut chips, but I
think they've got to be done humbly. Yeah, I was
still kind of upset that woman made up a crossword puddle.

(30:29):
So what do you think she actually wasn't really doing
a crossword puzzle, or the crossword puzzle was too far
away from the phone, why would you make one up?
Maybe she'd finished it. No one can tell me about
the Watson chicken salt. It might be a byproduct of
cooking chicken, isn't I don't know. I've never been chicken
salt sod of the chicken. But yeah, I've never read

(30:49):
about any magazines. I've never seen any tiktoks on it.
So here till twelve if you want to partake one
of his Marcus good evening welcomed. By the way, the
South and Sharks lost the first lost and although I
think they've really qualified for the finals, but it was
the first Locks lost for a long time. I don't
know where the taraniky ears are on the Lenna. I

(31:11):
have a check of that two people five way from
it nine so it was eighth bit second. I'll good
on them, well done them. I'll be in touch if
you want to talk. One of is Marcus welcome. We
are talking the the ten Commandments of fries. Someone said,
chicken salt is MSG, I wondered, Marcus. I was at

(31:31):
a fish and chip shop and trent them upperhut. This
week another customer asked for chicken chips on her chickens
on her chips confirm not just a South Island thing, Janus,
I must be moving north, being parmesed north by Christmas Graham.
It's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Good evening, Marcus. How are you Graham?

Speaker 21 (31:49):
Good?

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Thank you man.

Speaker 8 (31:50):
I've got to put you out your MISERI I's doing
a couple of fish and chip shops and welling so
many many years ago, and chicken salts and old thank god,
no more bloody South Australia.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Do you know what South Islands love? Thinking they've got
something unique and it's only yeah.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
He's like thinking they've got the pebble over as well.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
Mate.

Speaker 8 (32:09):
Yeah, hey, you know what it is, don't you?

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Now?

Speaker 14 (32:12):
I shot you not?

Speaker 8 (32:13):
All it is is meggie chicken stock you buy turning
of meggie chicken stock. You're ticking really shaker and they've
shaken over the qushion chips. That's beautiful. It's all it
is mechi chicken stock.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Wow, who was?

Speaker 6 (32:27):
You can buy the cue? You buy the cue?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Who would have invented? Who started doing that?

Speaker 8 (32:33):
Mate? It's been around there.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Ever, you must have heard about anything. You must have
heard that a chip and chip fish and chip owners conference.
Some of must have told you that.

Speaker 8 (32:43):
That's just something like I'm an orphan now, but like
the fish and chipping has got not not not not
through wanting to make I can tell you, but but
now I like for some shippy here he's in east.
If you made, he's got chicken salt.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
It's a it's a it's a thing.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
So it's just meggie.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Meggie stock?

Speaker 8 (33:01):
Meggie chicken stock. So you can either buy the little
you know, the little cues which are hard you them
cats rolls or whatever, or you can just buy the
powdered chicken stock. You can buy on a little we
the one big eighteen containers, but the you just buy
it in the little wee bottles of chicken stock.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
That's all it is for goodness sake, Well, when's the
next take? We're gonna be honest and say, would you
like Maggie Stock with that? Next time someone asks me
if you want chicken salt, I say you mean Meggie Stock,
They'll put them in their place. Stop asking. Oh boy,
by world's turned tonight turned and I don't know if
that's in a good way. Oh well on we'd down upwards.
Hurdle twelve.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
What do you got?

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Greetings, welcome? How are you? Hope you're good? I hope
you even better by the time my show goes. The
stuff website is doing a search for New Zealand's best
chips chips, and I'm all in on that too. I'm
always up for a great debate. I use it depends
on to fine what a good chip is. Oh yeah,
but we've got hooked on chicken salt as a discussion

(34:01):
because someone said it was a South Island thing.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
I don't think there's anything that is just a South
South Island think anymore. Oh maybe raspberry and coke have
only ever heard anyone having in the South Island. But
anyway sounds terrible to me. He who'd want to make
coke sweeter? But the search is on for New Zealand's
best takeaway chip. Yeah so, and I don't like the

(34:26):
name Shoestring, but I've told you I've got on about
that enough. I don't know who won it last year.
There is a pole, but the poles are about the
best one because it's a lame pole that haven't got
the algorithm right. I don't think there's eighty six comments
which they'll be happy with. So there we go. I
guess it depends on what potato you use. There's good
potatoes and there's bad potatoes, so there could be something
you could mention. Of course, the classic comment person I

(34:48):
can no longer afford chips Hayden ninety nine and one
of that's our Hayden. So there we go, the nest
Or Tucky pretty good chip skillet and fit it in
Snal's beach. No I mention there are someone said TJ's
in the cargo Well Tea he Days has become a refranchise,
is even one in Bluff now and Winton and Riverton.

(35:10):
I mean people just open one takeaway now they kind
of get into the scale. I chuck a servant there
for the Fauvo Dairy too is doing forever good chips currently,
that's what we are talking about tonight. If you want
to talk about this o wit and what makes them good.
A lot of people are obsessed with doing them and dripping.
I don't really know what dripping is or how you
change that and how that works. But once again I
say it, and I say it the same as pies.

(35:31):
I don't think there's very many things as chips are
always pretty good, providing the chip shop changes their air
filters and their oil or cleans or does something to it.
Because it can taste a bit rank after long. While
the lines there are free, We're going to come and
partake eight hundred and eighty ten ad Mark's. The best
chips aren't Fish Fays and Madra Merua unbelievably crispy. By

(35:53):
the way, my usual medium flat while at mac Is,
only went up to four dollars ken from g I
Marcus Paul here will usually get Markiki he fries in
South Kadary, while Matt's are best in the business and
they are definitely a South Island treat yummy fish and
chips with the wagon wheel and Mournsville. Theyre how many
examages a real tasty too. We'll hard to read that

(36:15):
out without trying to sing wagon wheel and apparently pack
and say Lincoln Road have chicken salt which is made
in South Africa. Someone says chicken saltants from Australia back
in the seventies. A lot of people are texting about
Shane Jones. What he did was appalling, but I don't
want to have my show contaminated by that disco. Yeah,

(36:35):
that's as long as you know when it comes time
to vote and then going on. It's such a braggard anyway, Marcus,
chicken salda is basically chicken stock mixed with salt. Hoops. No,
I think it's just chicken stock, Marcus. We've never been
able to find chips as good as from mister Grumpies
at Foxton's Beach. Zara is an upper hut. I think

(36:56):
they are not twice trot twice twice cooked. They say
they are thrice cooked. You'd run over breaken glass for them, Dickie.
I think the expression crawl over broken glass. Someone says,
don't bother making home cop chips with white skin spuds terrible,
and someone says they love chips with vinger on. I

(37:18):
think that's vinegar. Vinegar, vinegar. That's what we are talking about.
Get in touch if you want to partake eight and
nine detect. It's all about the chips tonight. So yes,
that's the discussion. I'll update you on other stuff that's
happening throughout the course of the evening. And but yeah,

(37:39):
and let's hope we can show what would be what
would be if you're running a fish and chip shop.
What thing would you do to make it interesting? What
would be an angle you could put on chips? I
think the key is to give a lot, use it
as your lost leader. But you always need a bit
of an angle these days in this world. Don't you
something that makes you stand out from the chip crowd.
I think we need to invent a new chicken salt.

(38:00):
Maybe you can make your own salt. Hello, Darren, this
is Marcus. Welcome Darren, very very good, Thank you, very good.

Speaker 22 (38:07):
Good ships.

Speaker 23 (38:09):
Like you said earlier, it suspend you use I use
agri as wow. But the whole idea of a chip
is you cut them out, but you've got to get
rid of the starts. So you put them in the
sink and at the starts and then put.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
You put them in water.

Speaker 14 (38:23):
Do you put them in water?

Speaker 2 (38:25):
Because you can't just say put them in the sink.
You gotta say put them in the sink with water.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
Oh yeah, sorry, that's right now.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Just try to think about that myself.

Speaker 23 (38:32):
And then the starts rises, you know, your water will
go like a and then you just get rid of that,
giving another when the water's clean, take them out.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
How long would you How long would you leave them
in said sink for like a day?

Speaker 23 (38:48):
It's not long. The starts rise, then you give them
another water, you've got clean water, taking them out, drain
then put them on a put them on a cloth
and drain them out. Then take them on the water,
or put them in a deep fryer, and then when
they when they rise from the deep fryer, pull them out.
Just sit them there for a couple of minutes and
now will turn into a nice soft spud and put

(39:09):
them back down again and you'll get the crispy outside
in the nice chewy mesh. Buddy, taste on music.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Are you cutting your chips? Just if you have one
of those things like a tennis record, you press them through.
I just cut the old school, old school, Darren.

Speaker 23 (39:23):
Yeah, you know, money make them for myself, so then
have to cut board and cup of spuds.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
I've never thought of that. I don't imagine a lot
of people have a fryer at home, would they.

Speaker 23 (39:35):
I've just got a little deep fire really cool. It
don't cost a lot, brilliant.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
I always thought those things could sort of catch fire.
I always thought they might be a fire risk.

Speaker 23 (39:46):
Oh no, these ones you can get a hundred bucks
and got their own culture as well. And I'll put
it under a beet so you put what you put it.
What the deep fryer I've got has got a hand
little beans in it as well. You know you put
a top on it and use it. I've got the
hob sacks or steam and the crap battice.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Okay, over a good dann, thank you here in the
spirit rethgar Road take raising Henderson. Have the best chips, Oh, Marcus,
run crawl, doesn't matter how you get over the broken gas.
If you ever in upper Hut, I'll take it Asara's Dickie.
Thank you, dickie. Oh someone's having lemon pepper flavored chips
from l Jays and Hindo. Marcus. My granddad used to

(40:28):
grow massive white elephant potatoes and blenhim for fish and
chip shops. You needed two hands to hold them free
long Potatoes, Marcus dave here the worst South uninventioned must
be the red skin sausage and better calling it a
hot dog as a criminal offense. Where is the stick?
Marcus make beef salt. But the best chips are Carl
Junior's crisis. Chris cut cries, hands down. End of story.

(40:53):
L Ja's is the only usual in fish and chip franchise.
I've never heard of l jays. Why they'd be called
l jays. I think there'd be more than is a
Long john Silver's. Oh yeah, they've must have got taken
to court for the old must have had of falling
out over the name a long because I think it
was on a mission bake called long John's. Was there ljs?
Long ljs? Never heard of that? Glenfield Hunters, A Plaza, Monaco,

(41:16):
Tuck and Andiwa Taka botany chart Well, the bass, it's
all about the bass. Didn't know that lj's. It's a franchise,
Marcus our Kumuta chips overrated. I find them over underwhelming.
I think they're terrible. No one's ever, no one's ever
gone back for more. They're soggy and not great, and

(41:37):
you don't want a chip to be sweet. The trouble
with the Kumuta chip is it's an answer to a
question that no one's ever asked. And that question is
I want to chip that's flimsy and slightly sweet and
weird looking. You ever asked that question? Walter says, it's
the bread fruit chips for me. I think Walter texts
from Tonga, so good on him. Wow, someone's chippy's giving

(42:01):
putting pink Himalayan salt on their chips. Hold your horse,
I'll be with you soon. People rakish its Marcus.

Speaker 16 (42:09):
Welcome and good evening, good evening matters I am regarding chips.
I own an fish and chip shop. Well i've only
for the last about nineteen years now and it's the
l J's franchise.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
It good, oh good.

Speaker 16 (42:25):
Yeah, So yeah, I know a bit about chips, and
like you said, you can give lots of chips as
a lost leader now, but chips are not exactly chip.

Speaker 6 (42:37):
So yeah, so they're a very fine for you.

Speaker 22 (42:41):
See.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, but people, but people get upset if there's if
there's lists and they think they should they should. I
mean people people get free critical about their mound, don't they?

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Uh?

Speaker 16 (42:51):
Not really Like l J's is not exactly cheap. It's
not similar to the Quanta ficient chip shop. We are
slightly more expensive and but then the quality takes over.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
You see.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Yeah, but you because you're happy to difference, because you're
a franchise, you'd you'd be you'd have to say how
many year? I mean, it would be part of it.
You couldn't have any variation on how many chips you
could give, could you?

Speaker 22 (43:16):
No?

Speaker 16 (43:16):
No, no, we could have a bit well, I marginally
there's amagine of eraror but like there's a set amount
we give, then it's enough for one serving, depends on
the amount you buy. But then, like I said, people
are happy to pay the price if you get good
quality fish. And we sell differency food too, and there

(43:37):
has to be a point of difference. We got lemon
paper chips. So it's not the quantity. I think it's
tick quality. There are a lot of people go for
quality rather than quantity.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
How much is the scoop of chips from from your crowd?

Speaker 16 (43:50):
You still old school, aren't you? We don't the scoop
we've got signs like magnetical, regular, large and a tree.
It ranges from four ninety to ten ninety.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Okay, see it's a been complicated for you a cash,
but thank you Craig. It's markets for living and welcome.

Speaker 6 (44:05):
Here's a take it. You know, this caught a little
bit as I was just a companier of the shower.
I live in Hamilton and on the other with east
Side Hamilton where we used to vitionship shop there. It's
closed now that it was there for about probably fifteen
twenty years and was run by English couple from Cornwall. Wow,
and they had a they had a young son who
was a little bit autistic. And you used to go

(44:25):
in there and the audio stuff and you just rattle
up the total quickly that you could edit up yourself.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Oh wow, like a meths a meths ofvon.

Speaker 6 (44:33):
Yeah, kind of like a rain Man type.

Speaker 20 (44:35):
Yeah you there at the order.

Speaker 6 (44:37):
Oh yeah, it's just like and well I know, my
Sam and few friends we always used to pay extra
and when they said about the change, we just see
that you're saying, can keep the change for his schooling
and stuff, because it was just really impressive just what
he was doing. But what made them different was you
can get your normal chips, but then they also you
could do they did curly frie chips. The chips are
like the curly spring. Yeah, they did those, but then

(44:59):
they also you can get tomato sauce from them. Was
also but they also used to give you if you've
got curly for a three punet of ali for the chips,
which is a little bit different. But no, it was
a little bit different.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
What was it called.

Speaker 6 (45:13):
I was called Feavy Downs Takeaways was sort of off
Trema Road, sort of five Crossroads, sort of on the
east side of Hamilton, but they lived there for many
many years. And I just was amazing. You can go
in and you do like a big order for a
family event, and you give it all the guy in
the little the son would just read all the figure.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Now he's like nine or ten, is he?

Speaker 6 (45:34):
And you probably I think he was seven at the
time when they shut it up, so quite young. But
I was just amazed, and I said, I said, as
this kid's going to be really gifted in life. We've
been able to do that now. So but it was
just impressive. It was a little free the atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
What happened to the human advocus. Do you know what
happened to him?

Speaker 6 (45:55):
I heard from my parents a few years later on
he's actually in accounting now, which kind of makes.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Makes sense, doesn't it ending up the numbers and accountant.

Speaker 9 (46:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
But you'd go in there and the wife would always go,
how can I help you? Dare and all your love
and all the old Scotts, so like being served by
your grandmother. I just really really loved the place.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
What say it was called again.

Speaker 6 (46:12):
Few Downs Takeaways was sort of closed up about that
say that I think a bit slower sew Downs Takeaways.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
It was the subbur that it was in fear if
If for foxtrot.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
Yeah yeah, foxtrot, Yeah Downs. There was a little block
of shops. There was like a dairy with another European
couple owned thediry, and they lived in the house that
run above the dairy.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
I love a house above adairy. That's one of my
favorite things, a house above a dairy.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
I was friends with them. I used to go there
and play games and stuff, and you'd be up there
having dinner and they'd be like, I'll running out of
something or other than just stuck downstairs. You hit your
own big pantry but yeah, the good old days, but
everything's modernized nowadays.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
I don't get sad about it. Mcgreg Celebrate what you had.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
Oh no, I loved it.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah, that's a thing you can't get. You can't you
can't end that with it. All things up with this
is it was on Powelled Road. Yeah, yeah, the house
there is a deery with the house above.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Yeah, it's fear few down super Do you know people
that lived up there?

Speaker 8 (47:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Yeah, goodness, you've lived a charmed life.

Speaker 6 (47:18):
Well it was, it was different, but it's yeah, they
had all that there.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
And I always love a deery under a high tension powerline.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
Well, the funny thing is if you zoom across the
other side of the road here, there's a house there
now and it's got a pylon in the section.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
Yeah, yeah, I looked at that and it's like the
only one I've really found funny was. I did a
lot of work in Auckland a few years ago and
in the suburb they've got a pilon in the middle
of the coul de sac was a roundabout around the
pilon and the houses around that, and you think different, But.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
I know people I don't want to judge, but I
don't think i'd like to live under a pylon.

Speaker 6 (47:54):
No, it's just like it doesn't really worry me.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
But I mean, would you live under a pilon?

Speaker 6 (48:00):
I wouldn't mind it. I don't really mind it. But
the problem is if you ever sold the house, I
think it's going to fit your resale there you because
you get people looking at that game. Oh yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Need a microwave. There's a walk there's a walkway by side.
The takeaway goes right through the Hindon Road too, Do
you know about that?

Speaker 6 (48:15):
Yeah, there's a walkway that goes back through hen and O.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yes, great, that's a great little walkway. I'd be using that.
That's a ripper, that one.

Speaker 6 (48:22):
But yeah, there used to be lines out the door
and around the corner on Saturday nights when there's like
rugby games on.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
So you had wow and the kids still they're adding
everything up right even then.

Speaker 6 (48:31):
Yeah, yeah, it's just like really really good. And then yeah,
it was a great little place.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
So what what some of you live at now?

Speaker 21 (48:39):
Hell?

thing to go to. That's you never try and work out.
You've got to wear it a toga part It's just

We've got it lid to be hearing from you. Text
your places for the fries. Pete here used to have
a great chip shop in Birkdale, sadly closed a few
years Are there two three people textas says and this
is a classic problem with nostalgia. Marcus. Chips are not
as good as they used to be because most places
now cooking canola oil using frozen, free cooked chips. My

(51:15):
parents like the sex of potatoes cleaned and chipped them,
pre cooked and recooked them, and chef made fantastic chips.
I think chips these days are pretty good. I think
once upon a time, often the oil wasn't changing, and
the filters weren't changing, and the events weren't changing, and
they weren't good. There were some really sketchy ones. I
think these days most are pretty good. I think we've
come a long way and we're changing day by day.
We make our own Comera chips in the air fryer

(51:37):
all the time. Bloody beautiful cheers Dave So nine thirty
one tonight for the first mention of the air fryer

Speaker 2 (51:49):
My husband Yarn is obsessed with making chips, and I
loving the show just a bit more than usual tonight.
Marcus from Karina in the Wider Upper, It's all about chips.
Anyone else's got an old takeaway with interesting theme to it,
like the just to go to a chip Shop Fish
and chip shop in a high time where the guy
would always take a photo of all the customers. I
always thought it was a good thing to do, and

(52:10):
the albums of all the customers old school too, like
an old camera, not a not just a screenshot. So
that was a nice angle. Marcus Beck. In two thousand
and two there was a takeaway shop with also an
ice cream Barren Milkshakes located and pook a corl Hep.
The shop name was Milky Poo. As an option, they
put lemon pepper salt on chips. Do he went at home?

information over tonight, So I'm exciting.

Speaker 20 (54:01):
Yeah. Yeah, well I'll tell you what. I go into
the Green Gary for shops and there's new owners now,
but the old owners they got top FoST shop of
the year, yeah, which I was quite surprised. And but
the ones who own it now are just as good.
But yeah, they've got beautiful, beautiful batter and chips and everything.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Now what are they charging for their chips?

Speaker 20 (54:28):
It's two just I think it's about two or three
dollars markets, But they give you heaps and heaps. I
usually say half a scoop, but I've got enough usually
for a family of four.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Goodness, well that's I mean, that's not bad if if
you've got more than you want, that's a good thing,
isn't it.

Speaker 22 (54:43):
No?

Speaker 20 (54:44):
And those those fries that that other guy was talking about,
deep fries. I got mine from the warehouse markets for
forty five dollars and it has got a vent and
it it is excellent.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Seems reasonable, doesn't it. They're good on Facebook gig Glengarry Takeaway,
aren't they. They're they're doing things.

Speaker 20 (55:00):
Yes, yep.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
How long they had it for?

Speaker 20 (55:04):
Are the new owners?

Speaker 6 (55:06):
Yep?

Speaker 20 (55:06):
Possibly about our two months markers.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
They are Chinese takeaways as well, do they?

Speaker 20 (55:12):
Yes, they do, Yeah, a whole lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Yeah, I know you're by name.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
Yeah, it's not a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Is that I do a school Not really, I do
a school holiday special brilliant Okay.

Speaker 20 (55:24):
Yeah. They've got heaps of specials all over every day.

Speaker 9 (55:29):
Really yep.

Speaker 20 (55:31):
Like for thirty three dollars they had accommodation of rice
sweet and see our one time so you can get
three things for or feed of family. And they've got
kids kids boxes like too many hot dogs bush bites
and you get.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
That for so much, too good for the school lunch.
It is, yep, all right, I see yeah wow, So
it seemed to change hands on March twenty nine. Yes,
with the last with the last.

Speaker 20 (55:59):
People go, well, I'm not sure, Marcus. They were in
that for a long time ten.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
And a half incredible years.

Speaker 20 (56:06):
Yep, yep, So I've doubt what's that I've I don't
buy a lot there, but I do like it they do,
and it's a nice better on the outside of crabsticks
and hot dogs and stuff that's not all hard or
anything like that.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
I'll be pleased. And you people came in there as
good because it can be traumatic when a chip shop
owner changes because you're not quite sure if they're going
to do the same or better or worse or change
it or Yeah, you know, it's always a time of tension,
isn't it.

Speaker 20 (56:33):
Yeah, definitely, marc Us, Yep.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
I'm pleased about that. It's a good outcomes who have
together to try.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
There we go twenty away from ten markers to the
end of the bitter end. Oh eight, one hundred and
eighty eight. Now, what do you want about do to Do,
to do? Someone said, Brussels sprouts in the airfra is
a huge trend for such a huge trend, how come
I haven't heard about it. I reckon the algorithm's not

(57:01):
sending me the huge trends. I don't know about those
fish and chip shop being franchised. I don't knock it
to try. I guess you've got to say, not looking
good for that woman that was mouled by that shark?
Is it because you've got such a big wound, you're
really susceptible to infection? Which I guess is the reality
of being attacked by a shark. That's gonna be a

(57:22):
big wound no matter how you look at, isn't it.
It's got an arm, it's got a torso, hasn't it?

Speaker 12 (57:26):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (57:27):
All about the drones, because you couldn't fly drones, that
could you? Because the airport, well theough they've changed that.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Why don't have a zeppelin over there filming like a
fixed thing out to sea or a kite? Nineteen to
ten Marcus till midnight tonight. What's the most interesting thing?
I'm liking? The kid that could add everything up and
became the accountant because often there's a kid at the
takeaway shop just through their homework, et cetera. But if

(57:54):
you got them, they're doing the adding. That's even better,
isn't it. I r the takeaway shops with those golf
games when you put the corner and you gotta hit it,
bat and forward to get the golf down the course.
You don't see those anymore for me. That for me,
the takeaway shop needs three things. Needs the golf game,
It needs the bing bong when you go in the door.
It needs four things. It needs a fly curtain, the

(58:15):
bing bong, the golf game, and the poster of the
fish Breeds, the New Zealand fish poster. Love that Brett
Marcus welcome. Shoot.

Speaker 9 (58:22):
Yeah, they've got the krankle cut down beach Aven really beautiful.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Yeah, crankle a real cradle case is worse for you
because it means there's more fat in the surface area.
That's what I've heard. Oh that's good, Okay, good, it's
a good answer. Yeah okay.

Speaker 9 (58:40):
And and they got smaller was borged down there as well. Yourself.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
You're dining or dining and take away you.

Speaker 9 (58:49):
Full up your tray. What's the place called Beach Aven Takeaway,
good lovely?

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Are you charged on the side of the plate? Size
of the plate is.

Speaker 9 (59:01):
Fifteen, seventeen and nineteen. I think it is.

Speaker 16 (59:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (59:06):
Other than that. Other than that, the English can have
their mushy peas with their what do they do?

Speaker 2 (59:12):
They put them with pies and yeah? Is this Sunny
Haven Air?

Speaker 22 (59:17):

Speaker 9 (59:18):

was gone under.

Speaker 24 (59:56):

Speaker 9 (59:57):
No, they they might have moved.

Speaker 25 (59:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:00:00):
They were fantastic. They had Kiwi free chocolate lumps. They
were the best.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Are you any filling the love for that little shit?
Are you living far from there?

Speaker 9 (01:00:11):
Well you're not now? Oh yeah, I am now. But

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Oh you're missing you missed that place.

Speaker 9 (01:00:19):
I like norse Coat, do you?

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:22):
Looks pretty good to me, Brett, But thank you brilliant.
There we go sixteen to ten hitdle twelve fourteen away
from ten. If you want to be a part of
the show, that's the plan. Greetings and welcome eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty text mark. The key part of
success is very good customer service, Marcus wone else. Remember

(01:00:46):
when Shane Jones was a labor MP and used tax
payer money to rent blue movies. They talk about chips
making me hungry, mery, Leopard spots, Johnsonville Fish supply homemade chips,
best of the entire world, the entire world. I'm looking
for people that do some interesting variation and two that

(01:01:06):
gets people talk. That's what I want. I want to
elevate people that are doing the extraordinary. Twelve to ten
here till midnight tonight. I hope it's good.

Speaker 22 (01:01:15):
We early.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
It's a bit of a pause from the Roman. Will
be at midnight. Oh, Susan nordqust By the ways, our
news reader is not if you freaknize the voice founder
the surname this is the day in twenty twenty three
that the Titan imploded going down to the Tatanic. I
don't think we knew what happened to it for a while,
did we. We knew it was gone, but didn't know.

(01:01:35):
Then they said they'd heard the noise. There was a
sense for a long time they were alive, but no
one can understand how they could be. This day in
nineteen forty eight, the LP record was introduced. It was
quite late, wasn't it. I don't think I've ever known
that Burger Burger Burger has gone into receivership. That was
a gourmet burger chain. I don't think I'd ever been

(01:01:57):
to them. They did a seventy dollars Burger called it
Big Daddy Burger Burger. So ye, A lot of places
said to be struggling. It'd been in business for twelve years.
There's so much choice now for burgers, aren't there. There's
so many different ones sort of getting into it. I
guess it's a doggies. People enjoy them, and I guess
you don't need to be a chef to start up
one of those.

Speaker 22 (01:02:16):
You can just be up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Enthusiast and it's not a bad thing. Peen of those
caravans are probably popping up too. That might be affecting
people's markets. They might be taking market share. Food trucks
seem to be everywhere. Marcus in the Ninth Day Marcus
in the nineties, Renwick Takeaway had video rentals, including Blue
Movies as a side hustle, as kids would go down
on our bikes to pick up the chips from m
and beginning at the site of Bucks and nurses and

(01:02:40):
questionably dressed housemaids, Cobbden Takeaways and Graymouth as still using
a handcap. Chips which you never see any more, big
chunky ones, shark and taties. They sand down here chairs,
Mark and Blenham come to the Hamilton netball courts on
a Tuesday or Wednesday, the best chips fresh, fluffy on
the inside, hot and crispy with great sauce. Six dollars

(01:03:01):
a punnet. There we go, and the punnet shape has
a chained over the years, has it always so? When
to get in touch of your to talk? But who
on earth would pay seventy dollars for a burger? And
the answer that would be obviously not enough people, and
that would explain the receivership, Marcus local, coltexs here and
Kutti cutty does chips well done with chicken salt. You

(01:03:25):
get a two fifty three mile cup that usually has
about three or footy overflowing into the paper bag, all
for three point fifty that's the cow Tex, Cutti cutty,
chicken salt or they think of next. Paul McCartney eighty
four today, seems like he's been eighty four forever. So yes,
that's the plan if you want to talk about this.
And England's doing well at the World Cup, aren't they

(01:03:47):
were That German manager yelled at all the players. Everyone's
saying it's coming home again. I'd like to see England
there at the end. I enjoy England doing well. I
enjoy the hysteria. But I sense that they I do
sense with the English that they will get that the pressure,
they'll choke. I hope they don't, but expect the I
mean they're only one at once then, and there's one

(01:04:09):
other country that's one at once. But yeah, oh well,
then with a chance, and they beaten the Croatia, who
were no sloths, and beat them quite convincingly. Four two
be in touch if you want to talk on here
to midnight, be in touch, welcome on him as Marcus.
Good evening. I hope it's good. We you hope it
gets better by the time you go home. I go
home at twelve. You fancy that guy that put maple

(01:04:32):
syrup instead of oil in his current rang quite well?
What do we learn from that?

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
I think the oil would be cheaper than maple syrup,
So why would you bother? And I can answer that pleased.
I live in the times where could become a radio
broadcaster rather than a YouTube influencer. Must be exhausting him
when to come up with daft things to do to
excite the algorithm. And boy, there's some pretty average ones
out there, aren't there with their own YouTube channels. I
think it's unsustainable. Anyhow, we're talking chips, and if you

(01:05:01):
want to join the discussion, that's the plan. If you don't,
that's fine also, but be in touch. If you want
to hittle twelve o'clock. There's something different you want to mention,
let me know what that is and we can. We're flexible.
A lot of talk about bad weather on its way,
but I think that's just winter. I mean, I don't
want to say that whether people are wrong. But yeah,
I think it's actually been so. But I've just seen

(01:05:22):
that this winter this weekends like it's going to be
fairly sketchy down south. I don't know what you want
to say about that, but you might have some comments
about that. I just wonder if it was really bad.

Speaker 9 (01:05:30):
Weare.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
They're coming up the country today, but I don't have
the full details about that, so let me think what
else I can say. Oh, I got a lot. Oh,
actually it's the Rugby League on tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Dan.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
They won't because of worries because of the state of origin.
There's no rugby leg that's right. It feels like Wednesday,
but bigg your pardon. The cricket will restart in about
ten minutes. Kind of lost interest all interested in the
cricket now that Cain Williams is not there.

Speaker 26 (01:05:55):
Just like that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
It kind of I felt like that was the end.
But yeah, I will update you with that too so
you won't miss out. But that will be happening. I
think it's on Sky if you want to go and
watch that. I don't think that it's on Free to Wear.
If it is, let me know, text me when I've
pass it on to people if that's the situation there,
so yes, Oh, eight hundred and eighty Taddy and nine

(01:06:16):
two nine two to text if you want to be
a part of it. There's something else you've got Marcus
listening to the join people's voice recollecting fish and chips

I'm weary about people that start using my surname.

Speaker 26 (01:09:49):
Well, I apologize. I apologize that, Marcus. I've looked out
for you for many many years. I'm not as landed
as you. I think my brother's Terrence, who possibly went
to training school with you. I've always looked up to
you when you went for your mayorship. You're very intrinsicuent.

(01:10:10):
You're very knowing, and I just wanted to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Be He tell me about Terrance.

Speaker 26 (01:10:17):
Well, that was our brother, kid kid her Lock.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Do you think did you forget your brother's name.

Speaker 26 (01:10:24):
Well, I'd like to bear get his whole life.

Speaker 21 (01:10:26):
To be fair, what have you what have you been?

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Have you been having good? Where have you been tonight?

Speaker 9 (01:10:31):
Debby, Well, I'm at a moment in time.

Speaker 26 (01:10:34):
I'm actually at the overtowe of my two sisters, you know,
and and we like you, Marcus, you're kind of a
very rhythmical weddy, kind of dudek.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
DEBI not for me tonight. I'm afraid. It's just it's
going in a different direction the call, and I just yeah,
maybe tonight it's not the night.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
I just felt.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
I just felt triggered, not triggered. I felt warning signs. Anyway,
that's fine, we gave it a go. I don't think
ever went to training college. I said, I didn't go
to training colle with Ted or Terrence Herlock. It's a
good name, though doesn't sound like a name from a mystery,

(01:11:16):
the old Ted Heirlock. If you're in English football support,
let me know if you think it's coming home. By
the way, Kyle Sanderland is now working with Pauline Henson.
That's the big bomb shit in Australian politics. Yep. I
think he's going to go into the he's giving up
radio and gone to the pod space. The podcast I
don't know about podcasts. You see all these news in podcasts,

(01:11:40):
but you wonder, well, you know, what would I say
about that? They're all just people talking to each other.
Aren't well known people talking to each other. I think
they need to go a bit deeper, well, based on
history or things or something like that. I think there
might be a bit more grabbiness to them. Oh well,
Pete Marcus, welcome here.

Speaker 11 (01:11:58):
Regarding chips, you're dead right. I suppose I won't mention
the name of the takeaways here. You best think they've
got it sorted. What I used to do. I used
to buy chips sea and quite often I used to
get a really tight chest, but he need chips, so
I didn't go. I didn't go there anymore because I
give chest pain, you know, because of those chips. And

(01:12:19):
then I went to my brothers. He had some chips
there and he got them from there, and I said,
had some of them. I didn't get it again, so
must have changed. I think you did, right. I don't
think they were changing all as much as they should
have done, or less quality to.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
Worry if you're gonna get a tight chest. I reckon,
that's one of the warning signals you're going to get
a heart attack.

Speaker 11 (01:12:36):
Wow, what's another topic I'll carry on? So basically, also
out of the chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
If you if you had a heart attack.

Speaker 11 (01:12:44):
Well, now havn't talking. I want to thank you for
regarding all you said that you said last Tuesday, but
they closed the Auracano Gorge. Yes, so what happened there
talking about my ticket?

Speaker 13 (01:12:59):
Just then?

Speaker 11 (01:13:01):
In our family, my sister has a bit of a
big long word. I can't I can't Believen pronounced the word,
but basically it's in our family a little bit. So
I've been doing it from since basically the December of
last year till now. He's got some CT scans and
all that sort of stuff. But what happened on when
you brought that up? I was packing my suitcase in

(01:13:21):
everything to see the charryologist and the YKLA hospital on
the Wednesday. It was the next day when you when
you mentioned it.

Speaker 8 (01:13:28):
On the Tuesday.

Speaker 11 (01:13:29):
Sure, so what I was going to do was I
was packing all my stuff allowed the extra hour or
stuff and go, which they said it's about three of
them there, so that's they caught around ten minutes. I
allowed an extra half for that, but basically allowed four
hours to get up there basedly my tide frame. Right,
I left early in the morning. I would have got
there at the appointment at eleven o'clock. That was the
appointment in Hamilton. So what happened was, I was when

(01:13:51):
you mentioned that you got your must dropped the bombshell
on me there, Marcus. Because I had actually programmed all
my week. I'd bought commendation, I bought my rugby ticket
to see the Chiefs and the Crusaders at Hamilton in
the field days. What happened was, I said to myself,
this is not good enough. They closed that road down.

(01:14:12):
They had two days prior to monitor that road, and
that was the start of the field days. The next day,
well this is not good enough. So long story short
was I shot up there and got there about quarter
past one, and there was a road there was a
roadblock there, a traffic control guy and a young guy
just doing his job. And I knew down well, I

(01:14:32):
know about health and safety, ive done this little work,
and I said, I know, feather down with that slippers.
There be somebody else there watching, and probably on both
sides of that slip. I said to the guy, can
you get one of your hierarchy feather down down the
road down there. I want to speak to him about
what's happened there. It's not good enough, fair enough. Next
minute I see these splashy lights come up road. One

(01:14:53):
of the down his vehicles. They come up and this
guy I won't mention any names, and he's a nice guy,
and he was just a worker, one of the workers.
And I said, explain the situation. I had the copy
of my cardiolists appointment, and I said, what you guys
have done here. You don't realize the effects what you
are doing to this province. I said, you know, I

(01:15:16):
think what they're doing here, Mark, they're treating what happened
at the mount. It's all of our health. And i'm
health and safety. I must have you. I'm fine for that,
but I see what you're doing. You don't You don't
realize what you've actually done. You shut this province down
once again, I said. I said it to him, I says,
is any gravel or slip on the road right now?

Speaker 14 (01:15:35):
On the road.

Speaker 11 (01:15:36):
He said, no, there's not. They said, well, we got
four or five days of fine weather of ahead of
ars here, So why are you shutting a road down
when there's fire? Fine with its rain? You had a
valid point, maybe watch it and basically got a long
story short wise, he knew I was not a happy chappy,
but basically what he said was he runs someone higher
up and find him again, and that there's actually a

(01:15:56):
goat road around they call it. He said, what we'll do,
We'll take you in this four whel drive vehicle around
the goat track. I got a little macedimio and I said,
hell the hell, I said, I get around there and
that wing. He said, here, you can do. He take
your time, but that's all right. I took his word
for it to te along through a short three quarters
of an hour drive around there. It was a go track.

(01:16:16):
It really was a go track. But the end of
the day it took me. You got me around the gorge,
eating out towards pew Pu.

Speaker 8 (01:16:22):
So that was good.

Speaker 11 (01:16:23):
And then when I left him, I said to him
when it when when I was hiding the ords north
it was got quarter pass through in the morning. I said,
please get that road open. You know it's just not
good enough, I said, even before I started.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Quite sure, I'm going to cut. I'm going to cut
your short, Pete. Did it was that was your ticker?

Speaker 14 (01:16:42):
Right?

Speaker 6 (01:16:42):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:16:42):
No?

Speaker 11 (01:16:43):
I still I think it's not bad. I'm taking a
little bit of a blood pressure tablet now. But but
they wouldn't believe it. They actually got the road open.
I see them get that road a S A P
for this province.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Yeah, I feel really upset that these guys are trying
to do their job and you have come and thinking
you know more than them, with no basis for that whatsoever. Yeah,
it doesn't impress me what you did, Pete, what they Yeah,
I think I think people it's hard enough doing their
jobs these days, about people like you coming in and
telling them what to do, because you know they were
doing it's a disastrous rod and they were doing much

(01:17:17):
needed maintenance. So but you know, I know, you people
with great self belief. I mean it's hard to talk,
but yeah, yeah, it's the last thing people need is
these self appointed experts with no background. So yeah, I'm
kind a little bit shaken by that, Pete. But anyway,
good on you. I mean, demanding to speak to the
manager is very strong, Karen energy is I mean, that's classic,

(01:17:40):
that's textbook. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what
people think. It text me through about that little bit.
Always got to be always got to be really really rare,
really weary when people say they cut a long story short.
By the way, was it three in the morning when
he was he what did he just drive up earlier?
I'm said about that, that whole story. Even Janet's Marcus,

(01:18:01):
welcome Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:18:04):
Yes, I'd hate to hear it long story if that's
a short one.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Yeah, And it's fun. It's a nod start of the
half hour. Jaen, when you come through as the beacon
of common sense, that's tremendous. Please you can laugh well,
you know, I mean as long as I go going
about anaca anyway, Yes, yes, you na on your chips?

Speaker 22 (01:18:29):
Do you.

Speaker 21 (01:18:31):
Now you're being naughty? I have to come and give
you a snack.

Speaker 11 (01:18:35):
Now.

Speaker 21 (01:18:37):
I've always thought, oh, by the way, I have a
repetitive dream. And I was in a fish and chip
shop waiting for them to give me my order, and
this last time my aunt and uncle came in the door,
and they've been de seized for ten or more years,

(01:18:59):
and I thought, what a funny dream?

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
Is it a recurring dream? Is it a recurring dream
and you're in a fish and chip shop and your
aunt and uncle arrive.

Speaker 21 (01:19:06):
No, this time is the only time they gender.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
The reoccurring dream is the fish and chip shop, and
different different people.

Speaker 21 (01:19:15):
Appear, either trying to find a fish and chip shop
because I'm desperate for some or finding it and waiting
for the to be served, or waiting to get it
about fish and shop.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
So that's your recurring your reccurring dreamers fish and chip shop.

Speaker 21 (01:19:35):
Yeah, yeah, either getting it, waiting for it, looking.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
For it, And I think there is I think that's
I think you've discovered the fun ef fact about yourself, Jane.
Your fun fact is that my reoccurring dream is an
efficient because no one has a reoccurring dream and a
fish and chip shop. My reoccurring dream is doing a paper.

Speaker 21 (01:19:52):
On Really Yeah, I wonder what that means. I like
studying these things, analyzing it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
No, please analyze me. I don't want to analyze anything
in my dreams.

Speaker 21 (01:20:03):
But anywhere it's thinking if I had at my own
fish and chip shop, and if you lived on the coast,
you could catch your own fish or send the hobby
out or the brother or someone to go and catch
the fish, so that doesn't cost anything. They haven't growed

(01:20:23):
the tomatoes to make the sauce, and have your own
chickens for the eggs for the batter, and what else
do you need? Go the fish? The better are the
chips growing a own potatoes and cumera have cumra chips

(01:20:44):
and you'd have a pretty good business. And if you
had tables and cheers outside and inside, I think you'd
have a pretty good go at it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Do you think something happened to you in your past
to have the recurring dream about the fish and chip shop?

Speaker 21 (01:21:02):
In my past used to eat used to eat chips
a lot down on the beach when with children, and
it's the whole family and it'll all be wrapped up
individually in newspaper, and would sit there on the beach
and it was very happy times. We'd a light a
file with logs and sit there and wonderful happy times.

(01:21:28):
I don't know what the connection. Maybe I should get
a fish and chip shop. Maybe that's the message.

Speaker 2 (01:21:34):
Will you do that, Jannet? There's endless free publichy here
I'll be resupport of your vision. Chip shop. There could
be a game changer. Twenty six past nine ten eleven,
twenty six past ten. Let's call it that. Get in touch.

you know whether, oh, but be in touch if you
want to. The best and biggest burger everhead was a
bushman's burger from Hatters and Tomaranui. It was huge and
took hours to process. I wonder if it in processed

(01:22:38):
that means to digest or to make. Don't think they
are there anymore, Chez Tony. There are no power cables
between New Zealand and Australia. That's ridiculous. Which way would
the power go? Mind you, with these mega data storages
we're building, maybe be better off actually exploring the power
somewhere else if we've got so much. That might be
something you want to mention also tonight, Hettlement Rowman Long

(01:23:00):
from Drivers anything else you want to mention to get

excited about England's hope in the Football World Cup, that
would be great to hear from you. Well, I'll tell
you what. None of the country seemed to be None

(01:23:43):
Although it is just the pool stage. But it's pretty amazing.
But yes, and they reckon. England's victory was inspired by
their German coach yelling at their players. He seemed to
be highly a motive. I don't know, Thomas, I don't
know if the names pronounced two kill or two chill.
Maybe someone could tell me about that. Dwayne, it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening. Oh hi, Dwayne, welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:24:07):
It's I'd just like to congratulate you on your winning
your award, the Radio Awards. And oh I saw you
in the airport before you left up there.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:24:20):
Anyway, you sort of touched on a couple of things tonight.
One is the paper run, which I did five years
for the Southern Times down here and in Vocago and
the Fish and Chip. I was also the fish and
Chip boy, so I just cut the chips up the Yeah,

(01:24:43):
I do the paper run in the morning and then
go to school. And then when I finished school, I'd
do the chippy run, go to the Fish and Chip
the world with the Dome Street takeaways in Vcago and
cuttle the chips up. And yes, I had two jobs.

(01:25:04):
And that was when I was like fourteen's. Yeah, but
you know it was pretty good because it taught me
a lot. And then I worked at the local bakery
which was KK Kitchen and the Chicago and yeah, but
it was good because the old Southern Times, back then,

(01:25:25):
it wasn't like a wee some thing it is now.
It was actually I remember once I had to deliver.
I think it was like I had a good run
and on a bike, yeah, really, and I wrecked a
lot of bikes.

Speaker 2 (01:25:43):
Yeah, and with the right one with the carrier or
the battle bag.

Speaker 4 (01:25:50):
And the canvas ones. Yeah, And you had to go
and you pack your papers in the morning and you
had to.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Ride like a cowboy because your leagues were sort of having.

Speaker 4 (01:25:59):
Them, yeah, and all all like rain, snow, hail, whatever.
You'd have to do the run. And I think one
time there was a one hundred and twenty five pages
was the maximum of a Southern Times newspaper on a
Saturday morning. And imagine having like I think I had

(01:26:23):
like one hundred and twenty newspapers in my saddle bag
and oh my god, that was like it was crazy.
And now it's just like this thin little pamphlet about.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
Yeah, and I don't think it's got long left to
be honest, but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:26:40):
You're dead right. But I think it was like roughly
about sixty cents, maybe forty five to sixty cents back
then and we had this real grumpy.

Speaker 13 (01:26:54):
Boss.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
I think I think they're all grumpy.

Speaker 4 (01:26:58):
Oh mate, yeah, anyway, I don't want to go into
it because but anyway, she went to a neighbor so
which made it worse.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
So yeah, with the chips, did you have one of
those machines are like a press to press the chips?
What do you mean, mate, Well, it's like a press,
which is like.

Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
Yeah, the chips, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we did. We
had a you'd put them through like a mix of
thing and it would get all the skins off, and
then you take the potatoes out and then you'd put
them through a chipper and then the chips would come
out like they're all sliced chips. And then they'd go

(01:27:41):
into barrels like those big forty liter barrels, and then
you would leave them in there and then the the
chef would come out. And what they used to do
was they used to pre cook them, so on a
Monday morning they would like geese, you cook them in fat,

(01:28:02):
and then they'd put them in these racks and then
they What they used to do is when you go
into the fish and chip shop and you go, oh, oh,
you know, I want to dollars chips or sixty cents
chips I think they were in or whatever. They would
go and scoop those chips out and put them into
the vat and cook them so they didn't have to

(01:28:23):
cook from a straight potato, if you know what I mean.
So they're already they're already sitting there waiting, and that's
how they did them, and they don't. I don't think
that techniques used anymore. So when I tried to look
around in the cargo and see who's doing this technique anymore,
I think they probably closest you'll get to was the

(01:28:44):
Albatross or the Mary Street Takeaways or something like that.
Maybe everyone else just uses maheki or the fess.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Which must be a lot easier. I would think that'll
be done mechanically, wouldn't they that some factory that would
do it? I mean cost? What were they paying you
an hour to cut them? Six dollars?

Speaker 25 (01:29:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
Mate, I can't remember that. Then I was working for
a doll I think I got paid eighteen dollars a
week to do the paper run.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
Twenty dollars a week, which is six days, six mornings,
isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:23):
Yeah? And it took two hours to do, and you
have to go to school?

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
And then did you have to go and collect the
money from them as well? On the Saturday?

Speaker 4 (01:29:36):
Now you get a brown envelope with cash in it,
so you turn up to your depot and do you run?
And then every I can't remember, every Wednesday Thursday, the
boss would give you a brand envelope with your money
in it.

Speaker 6 (01:29:54):
Twenty times.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
Did you have to go and ask that? Did you
have to build your customers as well and click the
money off them for they take away for their newspapers?

Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
No, but the Southern Times said all that. Okay, But
what I was just going to say, if people remember
back to the eighties, there's a thing called the tips,
So the Christmas Tips, you'd get these cards and you'd
get like, for example, if I had the Center Street
run and the Newfield run, and I had the Peace

(01:30:24):
have and run. So it depends on how many people
we had, Like if you say, for example, had you know,
I don't know, one hundred and sixty you know, people
that you had to deliver to, you'd get one hundred
and sixty cards that the Southern Times would give you,
and they'd have a calendar on the back with a

(01:30:45):
you know, thanks for your tip, and you'd knock on
people's doors and you would say, hey, I'm your paper boy,
and can you give me a tip? And oh my god,
like I would get like three hundred and fifty four
hundred dollars. This is in like nineteen oh god ninety

(01:31:05):
Addie seven eighty eight, and that was a lot of
money for a fourteen, fifteen year old. And God just
had these wilds of cash and it was amazing. And
I also did money for the guy, you know, taking
the old guy forks numbing around an old thing.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
And what's the pushbike he dwayne?

Speaker 23 (01:31:28):
Uh, Well, I.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
Started off with my sister's one and I ruined that.
And then there was my first run and they had
to push that around, which took me about four hours
to complete the run, and it almost taught me a
new one. And then I got a I think I
ended up getting in just a normal ten speed and

(01:31:49):
just got a really good carrier on the back that
was sturdy and had a grit. And I had a
mate who knocked up her or someone knocked up her.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
He had the wooden box that fed on the top
of the carrier.

Speaker 6 (01:32:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:32:04):
Yeah, and then when you go fill up your papers,
you go pack your papers up and you set you know,
and you have like maybe twenty other paper boys in
the room. Your pack your papers, and anyone would go
Liane to load their papers up on the back of
their bikes and off that go. And I mean, I

(01:32:28):
mean those days ago, mate.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
I'm going to run drawing this. Did you have nice
to talk to you? Thank you so much. Twenty to eleven,
Hold your horses with you soon, people on hold back
in two ticks eighteen to eleven. Hi, Susie, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:32:41):
Hi Marcus. This is a bit of a wrap back thing.
But yeah, when my son was about twelve, and this
would have been like maybe twelve fifteen years ago, when
everyone got the free local newspaper delivered in the letter box.

Speaker 9 (01:32:58):
Yes, he had.

Speaker 27 (01:33:00):
He had a run that he is supposed to do
a little rat Anyway, he worked out that only about
a third of the people wanted the newspapers, and he
used to call them the complainers. So he worked out
that he only had to deliver to the complainers, and
he was going down and with the rest of the

(01:33:21):
newspapers he was giving them to the local fish and
chip shop to wrap their fish and chips up, and
you know, they put a bit of white paper in
and then wrap the fish and chips up in the newspaper.
And every Friday night he'd go down and get free
fish and chips from the local chippy. Because I wondered

(01:33:42):
how him and his mates they'd tune up on a
Friday night and they come down, all turn up to
our plates and go down and get free fish and chips.
And I was always wondering about it. Yeah, and then
I found out he had this little.

Speaker 9 (01:33:56):
Scam going on.

Speaker 2 (01:33:57):
I think, Susie, I think it's win win. No one
wants the junk mail. He's getting free chips, they're getting
a US. It's a great thing.

Speaker 27 (01:34:06):
I thought it was quite entrepreneurial.

Speaker 2 (01:34:11):
Here, and I think we've all done something quite some
of a good one. To work out who the complainers were.

Speaker 27 (01:34:18):
Yeah, that's what he used to That's what he explained
to me. He said, Well, I found out who the
complainers were, yep. And so in the end they got
their newspapers and the rest of them they didn't want them,
didn't get them in the fish and chip shop got
the leftover newspapers and they got free fresh and chips.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
On a Friday night, Bridgid SU's a good story. Crack
at Tony. It's Marcus. Hello, Hey, good Tony. What's happening?

Speaker 27 (01:34:43):
Not to that?

Speaker 25 (01:34:44):
Not much, just ready to go to bed. I thought
i'd ever a late night, said about the first job
I had was a delivery newspapers some action, yes, the hero. Yeah,
you'd wake up at four thirty of the morning. You'd
got to wake up to the to the Graveland shops.

(01:35:05):
The whole you'd be a stack of like four stacks
of newspapers, so they'd be like maybe forty or fifty newspapers.
So you'd stick them in your statuel. You'd you'd you'd
you'd have to tear off the straps, so you'd there'd be.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
There'd be those blue plastic strips. Wouldn't they there wired
to begin with in the old days? Would they number
a wire?

Speaker 25 (01:35:25):
You stiff haven't got that far back, but yeah, still
still has a platino graphing around at the white ones
and are quite easy to tear off. They had to
tear as off by hand, and and sometimes they'd be
raining and that. Yeah, it wasn't easy for a thirteen
year old to do something like that, sure, four thirty
in the morning, so you'd stick them all in your
satchel you ever strapped to the front of your bike,

(01:35:47):
and if you went and god knows how you'd remember
what streets you went down because they'd only show you
once and there was it. You'd never see him again,
so they'd always be dropping the newspapers before you got
the easy So yeah, yeah, I good. You got seven
dollars a week, which was a nineteen eighty maybe six.
You got seven dollars a week and some on the

(01:36:07):
brown you get in the brown, I mean, but like
in the seven bucks, was was enough money for a
thirteen year old being before you went to school? Records
and my winning bought my first LP was the dollar
fifty with the board Mari the LP good.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
Thing to what a great thing? To what a great
first album it was? Yeah I was.

Speaker 25 (01:36:30):
It was basically good old day days. Yeah, I think
I did it if I got a month and then
I just didn't want to do it anymore. It's too
hard to wake up in the morning and then go
to school at the same time. They caught up with you.
He's lost interest in it, they wanted to do something
else afterwards, for while they.

Speaker 2 (01:36:48):
Kind of stopped young people. Do I think they thought
it was dangerous for them and they did stop it?

Speaker 25 (01:36:54):
No, no, no, I mean I didn't even say anything
dangerously even like even't even.

Speaker 2 (01:37:00):
Know, I not, I know, But I think it started
overseas first they sort of bearing kids from doing it,
and then seemed to happen here as well.

Speaker 25 (01:37:07):
Yeah, yeah, same with delivering milk and stuff. That's all
changed now, isn't. He's made a few more conduct anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:37:15):
But those free newspapers, the circulars, I mean the pay
for those was always terrible.

Speaker 25 (01:37:19):
Yeah, oh that's all even today is too expensive to buy.
You tend to read it all online for free. Is
you already paying for the internet, you see? So why
would you go and buy a newspaper?

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
Well, and if you've read it online, you avoid They
know it's always got big Harve Harvey Norman wrap arounds,
hasn't it.

Speaker 25 (01:37:40):
Yeah that's right? Yeah, yep, that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:37:43):
Or a bad thing? Tony thank you? Twelve to eleven
head on midnight ah Marcus England manager Thomas Tuchill was
completing about the protogon standing in front of him during
the national anthem. He could not see any of his
players singing the anthem because of them running experience. For himself,
I saw that he was quite big on that one.
Good on him. Tukil, his surname is pronounced thank you
for that. The term is pre cooked. Then Friday second

(01:38:04):
time in order, Yes, lovely memories of boys with aly
takeaways and ben and we take our fresh fish phillots. Oh,
I think I had that one. Thank you local businesses
advertised and so called free newspapers. I like to read
them because of local news. Whatever does that mean? In
the late seventies, I'd lived the Herald of the Morning

(01:38:25):
and went to school, then after school of the Auckland Star,
and on the Saturdays deliver the junk mail, made twenty
five per week, ten of which I gave to my mother. Brilliant.
You don't think anyone regrets paper runs disappearing, do they?
I was fortunate Marlin was on the sort of way
home from school, so it was pretty straightforward. Any great

(01:38:46):
learnings from it, not really, I wouldn't think. Although you
were first to go to see the news, weren't you,
that was a good thing. You'd read the newspaper before
he delivered it. That was always quite good. Sometimes there
was some earth shattering news stories. Yeah, being touched. You
want to talk one name as Marcus well compedal, but
we're talking about chips mainly and chicken salt. Thank you,

(01:39:06):
Philip from one of you. Think if you are a text,
I won't read that out. But good on you six
away from eleven if you want to be a part
of it. And Roman is along at twelve tonight.

Speaker 22 (01:39:18):
Just so you know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
Now in the meantime, if you want to talk on air,
that would be a great thing to happen. If there's
something else you want to talk about tonight or mention.
Shane Jones has been widely condemned. Now he said provoke
the marta at your peril, how entitled sixty three thousand
dollars trip to the mining conference more than somewhere in
a year. So yep, there we go. Anyway, be in

(01:39:47):
touch if you want to be huntill twelve o'clock, get
in touch. Roberts, Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 18 (01:39:55):
Gave Marcus what an interesting conversation about chips tonight to drive.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
Home to are in any there?

Speaker 18 (01:40:04):
No, no, unless Nelson is about four pm this afternoon
and on between timorrow and Tomoru heading to Southland. So yeah,
nice cruise. But now listen a shout out to the
pig station and the cargole who do a massively great

(01:40:28):
loaded fries.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Oh yeah, so what's this throd loaded? Where did they
come from?

Speaker 21 (01:40:35):
Well?

Speaker 18 (01:40:35):
I don't know, you know, it'd be yeah, well I've
been in Amsterdam years ago. You could buy the chips
on what do I call them? I can't remember the
name they called them, but they've done them with an
aioli and bacon.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
It might be you see, yeah, it might be a
Dutch thing, mightn't it.

Speaker 8 (01:40:57):
It could be.

Speaker 18 (01:41:00):
It could be. I'm not sure, but no, no, it's
an interesting thing.

Speaker 2 (01:41:04):
And I mean because of course I'm opposed to it,
because it's just too messy because everything's lighted on top
of them. I don't even know how you're supposed to
eat them.

Speaker 18 (01:41:13):
Very carefully and very slowly.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
You need a fork and stuff, don't you which takes
away for me? That takes the joy away?

Speaker 18 (01:41:22):
Oh no, but they are god, you know, I think
a number cargo. We're very very blessed with great food
and takeaways and hospitality, you know, it's it's something that
we have down there in space.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
Tell me more about that. You're talking about the licensing trust.

Speaker 18 (01:41:43):
Oh no, don't you. Don't you talk to me about
a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
I'm just curious. I'm just curious that. I'm just curious
to know.

Speaker 18 (01:41:51):
Well, I'm a free range egg supplier.

Speaker 2 (01:41:55):
Oh okay, I understand now, and.

Speaker 18 (01:41:59):
So I have a close association with hospitality and south
and not the ILC.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
Why are they buying Why are they buying your eggs?

Speaker 21 (01:42:10):
Uh?

Speaker 17 (01:42:11):
It's corporates are inherently hard to deal with, for I understand,
and they pinched sense where you know, when they shouldn't
be whereas we supply a majority.

Speaker 14 (01:42:27):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
They're not food is therefore are they They're that's not
they're rought.

Speaker 18 (01:42:33):
No, no, and actually wrought for that that's name for actually.
But yeah, the hospitality in South London. You know, we
had some very very good takeaway shops. We have some
very good fish and chip shops, and it's I think
we're very very blessed down here.

Speaker 2 (01:42:56):
What have you been away for, Robbie, been out getting eggs?

Speaker 22 (01:43:00):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:43:00):
No, well, god, I've been in Nelson doing a little
bit of sailing.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
Oh yeah, good.

Speaker 18 (01:43:08):
Yeah, so four days off the farm and and spend
a bit of time up on the boat and do
a bit of sailing.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
Do you leave you do you leave your boat Nelson?
I do?

Speaker 6 (01:43:21):
I do.

Speaker 18 (01:43:22):
We used to have our boat in Riverton, but Nelson
now because just the availability of services. Oh yeah, well,
you know in the marina there, everything's just easy. You know,
you can the haul out, the professional services around pleasure craft.
It's it's it's a great place to have a boat.

Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
Really a long drive though, isn't that.

Speaker 18 (01:43:48):
Well I'd normally fly, but it's just so cost prohibit.
It's you know, you're talking about your car doing six
point nine leaders one hundred k. Well, my cars I'm
reading at the moment six point three leaders one hundred k.

Speaker 2 (01:44:04):
Yeah, okay, I think my might have been six moment. Yeah,
I might have to reread. Mind Rob. Nice to talk
to you, Thank you so much. We just covered to
news time. People talk after the neutle hit til twelve.
As I say, oh, eight hundred and eighty Italian nine
to nine text. Oh, Dutch chips would be palm fritz. Yeah,
I don't know about loaded fries. Maybe people want to
comment about those. They're not for me because of the mess.

(01:44:26):
That's the situation. But get in touch of your talk
after the news. Hentel twelve, I weight one hundred eighty
ten eighty, good evening, welcome, How are you? Seven past eleven.
Our cricket's going well three five six for seven Phillips
eighty Jamison thirty three. That's the score. I hope it's

(01:44:49):
going well. For a terrible time for us to watch it, though,
isn't it. Oh well, I haven't had a lot of
discussions about the Football World Cup, but I think this
is going to be one of the great tournaments. So
many more teams there, but the atmosphere from the stands
just looks sens I think that I probably will fold
and subscribe to it. I wish it was on Sky,

(01:45:12):
but maybe someone can let me know about the TVNZ
one off payment if that's been a successful thing for you.
I don't know. If the price decreases as the tournament goes,
you think they'll be the right thing to do. But yeah,
I think it's going to be right. And as I
was saying the other week, so or the other days
of the week, I am lamenting the fact that there
isn't a one hour show from the highlights each day.

(01:45:33):
I think TVNZ should have done that. I can't believe
they haven't. Must come down to rights and they think
they're going to cannibalize people buying the past if they
do that. But yeah, as the state broadcaster, it's the
biggest is it the biggest sporting event in the world?
Be number two after the Olympics, would it?

Speaker 7 (01:45:48):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
I think as the state broadcaster and we're there, they
should be. They should be, they should be doing a
lot more. I think we've already missed a trick with that.
Fair enough, they're playing the user in games for free,
as they should and I guess we'll get the final
in the semi but we should be getting a omnibus
about what's gone on when we when you know, the
day before. That's my thoughts. You want to comment on that.

(01:46:09):
We're also talking about chips and loaded fries. Clearly I
am resistant to change and new things. I don't like
chicken salt, but lab and loaded fries aren't for me.
I find it a surprising thing to do that the fries.
But well, it's all my Yeah, I don't I'm not
entirely sure what they're trying to achieve the two of

(01:46:29):
the chips into something different, like a basis to a meal. Yeah,
so if you've got something to say about that, that'll
be good to hear from you. So yes, eight hundred
and eighty to Teddy and nineteen ninety six one of
thes Marcus welcome HITDLL twelve. Anything else you want to
mention two in this final hour? The place in the
country with the best fries or the most interesting fries?
Who's still doing them my hand like Dwayne was doing.

(01:46:51):
Who's still doing that? And who's doing something interesting with fries?
I don't know what interesting is to find interesting? I
can't find that myself, but you might have got something
to say about that. Also, come on, anything else you
want to mention tonight? But the Football World cuple put
in there as well? Do you think England can win it?
If you are English? That's the situation if you want

(01:47:13):
to come through and paper runs. A bit of talk
about paper runs the thing like the paper runs you
have the you have the some of the papers on
the carry of your bike and the rest on a
bag that went across the crossbar of your bike. But
don't you be limited to how many you could fit
in those and you have to ride your bike like
a cowboy because your legs were there. And if you
put too many, if you put too many on your
back carrier, you go to ride your bike and a

(01:47:34):
tip tip backwards. But the bike was the way to
do it. You carry a lot more than across your shoulder.
That never really worked. But of course most places there
had a morning paper and afternoon paper. The afternoon paper
was a lot better hours to deliver them because it
was you und up at five o'clock. Although I had
had to plenty of experience of that sort of filling
in and doing herald paper runs. And yeah, it was
just hard work. Well that's something quite special about it

(01:47:56):
up in the early in the morning and wandering around
before anyone else is up. Yeah, not a bad thing.
But yes, that's some of the stuff we've talked about tonight.
So get in touch if you want to be a
part of it. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two to text. So yes, and if
there's something different you've got, I'm up for it all
between now and twelve o'clock. When Roman is along, Marcus,

(01:48:20):
I believe it's Jewel Top's funeral tomorrow in Auckland, sad
day for news in it will be cheers, thank you,

me to that. Brilliant Marcus. If you like it baked
stuffed potato and natchos and you should like loaded fries,
it's a they have been graded greeted in a different shape.
Thanks Phil, Phil, that's an extremely good text. And as
I'm reading that, I'm appreciating what you're saying, and I

(01:50:15):
think you're completely correct. But part of me, part of
me that I'm not really in touch with, is fighting
back with that. And to me, it's not like Nacho's
because the Nacho's the chip is still crisp and you
can use that. But whereas the potato chip is is
not a rigid thing to carry food on Foxton caravan

(01:50:37):
business that sells chips available at Levin White to the
y Fang and Nui fielding on a Friday evening. Delicious
chips we drive from palmest North to buy. Tell me
more about that, Jude. I hope you can expand the photo.
I didn't know there was a photo. I'd love to
expand the photo. Show content. I'm clicking on something. Oh yes,
oh yes, this is what I want. These are the

(01:50:58):
calls best chips in one or two twice, Levin growing
potatoes twice cooked and you see them beef fat. Come
and see what all the always is about. Locally grand
for superior quality, great flavor cooked in New Zealand, be
fat twice cooked for unbeatable crunch, twice cooked to perfection.
Love by the community folks. The best chips in one
or two twice, no shortcuts, just great chips. It's called

(01:51:21):
the fish and Chippery caravans. I think that that's the way.
Now they announce where they're going to be, it'll be
on Facebook, no doubt. I have looked at myself. I
do like a traveling around kind of a type thing
where you can go and you know, fish and chippery
is a fairly good name, fish and chippery Head or
twelve one of the us Marcus, good evening, welcome. Oh wait,

(01:51:43):
hundred eighty ten, Cameron, it's Marcus, welcome, good evening things
for calling.

Speaker 14 (01:51:47):
Thanks you, good evening to you too, Marcus and all
of your listeners. And I relatedly congratulate you on your
reason to the ward. It's getting on a bit, but
take the opportunity to do so. Now I'm in Palms
to North. I've lived here pretty much all of my life.
The two go tos here and Palms to North. For
the best fish and chips in town, in my opinion,

(01:52:09):
of course, would definitely have to be the Rugby Street
Takeaways and Golden Phoenix on College Street.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
See Golden Phoenix sounds old.

Speaker 6 (01:52:19):
School, Oh they are, they are.

Speaker 14 (01:52:21):
They've been there for Yonk's family run businesses, most of
them are. But those two fish and chip shops in
Parmi legendary Rugby Street and Golden Phoenix, there are two
of the best in town. You don't get them overly
greasy and whatnot, very crispy, and the both of those

(01:52:45):
shops have some of the very best tasting fish in town.
I reckon it's.

Speaker 2 (01:52:49):
Good because I would because I'd be a bit triggered
buying fish inland. That's always a thing for me. If
you can't see the sea, I wouldn't buy it.

Speaker 14 (01:52:56):
And you, yeah, yeah, you can't always get to the
sea in your land, as much as I'd like to be.

Speaker 2 (01:53:05):
But you know when when there's a fish and chip
shop and you see the fish boats coming and think, oh,
jeep as cream, is it the real deal? But if
you're if you're remote, it's a bit trickier.

Speaker 14 (01:53:14):
We used to love. My dad grew up and Wanganeri
on the old Castle Cliff fire station where my granded
was the officer in charge way back when, and so
that was pretty much right beside the wharf, and so
very fond memories of day trips and Makian trips to
Wanganeri and spending time at the wharf seeing all the fishing,
fishing boats coming in and unloading and all of that

(01:53:35):
carry on.

Speaker 22 (01:53:35):
It was.

Speaker 14 (01:53:35):
It was magical times.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
Is this still? Is there still a fishing fleet.

Speaker 14 (01:53:39):
Goes out of there as far as I know, Yes,
But then I haven't been to the wharf over there
for quite some time, so I can't categorically hand on
heart say yes, but I know the wharf is still there,
so I imagine it would still be being as well
used as it used to be. Great and repairs that.
So yeah, somebody local might be able to tell us

(01:54:00):
about that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:01):
Yeah, might find out more about Thanks Kevin, I might
find out more if there's a fishing If there's a
fishing fleet that heads out of fin and by the
way to looking at the fish and Chippery caravan, they
do something called a mince and double cheese fritag. Yet
looks good, looks like an artery hardener, but jeep as
it looks good. Minton double cheese patty six dollars. Actually
the mean it looks a bit AI generator. But jesus,

(01:54:21):
it's a good Facebook page. Fish and Chippery caravan. It's
one of those old kind of you know, those old
stainless steel airstream caravans. It looks like they've put some
money into the business. Five star review, highly recommended by
our loyal customers. Old school hot dogs and so much
more would be an old school hot dog. I too

(01:54:41):
sure about that talk if you want to twenty five
past eleven day Ta in the crook in England. England
won the toss. They put us into bat two and
Phillips is three short of the century New Zealand currently
three eight six four eight, Phillips ninety seven. Henry On five, Yes, Stephen,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:54:59):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:55:02):
Yes, there's them.

Speaker 22 (01:55:03):
There's no fishing flea down a woman Know anymore. Unfortunately,
I'm the only one that fishes into Womanui at present,
and that's the Edmont Seafoods from Taranaki.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
So what did you say that you're the only one that.

Speaker 22 (01:55:18):
Oh, well, I'm the commercial fisherman and we we fish
into Eggmont Seafoods, which is in Taranaki. So we're unloaded
at Wanganui every now and then. But that's the only
fishing that goes on in Wanmonui anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:55:32):
Sod you go out of Taranaki.

Speaker 22 (01:55:33):
Yeah, we're out of New Plymouth.

Speaker 2 (01:55:35):
How many how many fishing boats would be coming out
of there.

Speaker 22 (01:55:39):
There's probably three or four, maybe five. There's a few
that fish for other places like Malana and Malana Seafoods,
and then there's the Taranaki fleet and there's only there's
only three of those, so.

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
It's still quite straightforward. Few to unload. In the Wanganui River,
it's quite easy to get. It's not a hard because
it's just a river harbor.

Speaker 22 (01:56:02):
Ray. Yeah, it's it's not as good as it used
to be.

Speaker 21 (01:56:06):
Of course.

Speaker 22 (01:56:07):
They've cut the wall out there and the water flows
straight through there fills it up with silt and so
it's it's not a very good harbor like it was
in the days with.

Speaker 6 (01:56:20):
Sorry there you go.

Speaker 22 (01:56:21):
In the days, was in the days when Pam Williams
used to operate the port and it was a massive
operation that had the O Yang boats you know which
with the Korean fishing flowers, and it had the Japanese
with boats and everything fishing into her. It was. And
then she sold out, of course.

Speaker 9 (01:56:44):
And that was the end of it.

Speaker 2 (01:56:47):
So it'll be almost nothing going in there anymore, is it,
Would that be right?

Speaker 22 (01:56:50):
Yeah, nothing at all, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:56:52):
And it wouldn't be coming back because once once the
river doesn't get breached and stuff, and it just it's
sort of it's downhill, would.

Speaker 22 (01:56:57):
That be right? Yeah, it is, it's very downhill until
they if they fill up that hole in the wall,
maybe all the silts just washing straight through there, so
there won't be any big boats going in there.

Speaker 2 (01:57:11):
So this is probably a silly question, might be one
you could answer, But would there be any chip shops
around the country that would be having their own fishermen
supplying them fish or doesn't work like that?

Speaker 4 (01:57:23):
Would that?

Speaker 2 (01:57:24):
Would that not be financially sustainable for the fishermen.

Speaker 22 (01:57:26):
Yeah, it doesn't work like that, so yeah, yeah, people,
I mean the fishermen, the commercial fishermen have to fish.
You have to have quota, you know, you know how
it works, and you have to fish properly into a
factory and that sort of thing. So yeah, no, there
won't be too much of that going on nowadays.

Speaker 2 (01:57:47):
Okay, well, what fisherman are you getting off that west
coast is it? Are you mainly getting we.

Speaker 4 (01:57:52):
Fish for sharks so.

Speaker 22 (01:57:56):
Off there, but the west coast full of snapper. There's
a lot of snapper along that West coast, a lot
more than there ever was before, and so it makes
it fairly awkward for everyone. Now we don't want to
be catching snapper, of course, and.

Speaker 2 (01:58:11):
What do you do with the sharks? They got exported
or local?

Speaker 22 (01:58:14):
Yeah, they're to the local factory back in New Plymouth,
but yet exported.

Speaker 6 (01:58:20):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:58:21):
Oh, really good to hear from you, Stephen. Thanks so
much of that.

Speaker 4 (01:58:23):
As we go.

Speaker 2 (01:58:24):
That's pretty much broad information that I expected. That's fantastic.
Get in touch if you want to, oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty nine nine text.

Speaker 4 (01:58:31):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:58:32):
Nothing much happening out of wang Nui anymore. Such an
amazing looking town on that river to not use it.
Once upon a time it was the fourth or fifth
biggest city in the country of wang Anui. But oh well,
because you got that port down the end there was
for a while there they were talking about a ferry
going from there to Nelson instead of the inter Islander.
But I'm not hearing much about that anymore. Patricia, this

(01:58:54):
is Marcus. Good evening, is that you Marcus? Yeah? Hi, Patricia, welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:59:00):
Well I heard you say on the radio that you
wondered why paraparo Umu and company coast we didn't have
any power to pay?

Speaker 2 (01:59:12):
Ok, can you turn your can you just tourn your
radio off there?

Speaker 24 (01:59:17):
Well, I can't do that, old on, I'm what would
you say, I'm obi in a in a hospital bed
and I can't move.

Speaker 2 (01:59:29):
No, no, very well, I nunder stand that.

Speaker 24 (01:59:31):
Yeah, well, I'll tell you quickly, Dear. Why we have
no power is because it's in a trust and once
a year we get a divot in back of one
hundred and thirty three dollars. Outside the back door is
a meter for the water and we have very very

(01:59:54):
low rates. And that's why we wouldn't want to join
Wellington with their supercity. We're doing very well here.

Speaker 2 (02:00:05):
Now, wh didn't I say this, Patricia, beg your pardon?

Speaker 24 (02:00:11):
Carbody Coast?

Speaker 2 (02:00:13):
When was I talking about them not having any power?

Speaker 24 (02:00:17):
Well, because us in a.

Speaker 2 (02:00:18):
Trust, Patricia, Patricia is when was I saying they didn't
have power?

Speaker 21 (02:00:28):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:00:28):
I thought you did, so sorry tonight.

Speaker 24 (02:00:33):
Now I'm very sorry. I thought you said, why doesn't
Carverty Coast UMU pay for power?

Speaker 2 (02:00:43):
But did you think that was tonight or last night?

Speaker 12 (02:00:45):
No?

Speaker 24 (02:00:46):
I thought it was tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:00:48):
You might very sorry, but that's right, that's that's fine.
I was going to say, you might be listening to
another station, but clearly it's the station you've got on
your background. So yeah, and you on each night, Patricia,
will you be getting out of your hospital before long?

Speaker 24 (02:01:02):
No, I'm here for good dear stop, I'm in a
hospital dead in my own home, so they wouldn't have
to send me to arrest home.

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
Oh that's a good thing, isn't it.

Speaker 16 (02:01:15):
That you're in your home.

Speaker 24 (02:01:16):
I'm in the house that I love.

Speaker 2 (02:01:19):
Okay, well, I'm lovely to please hear that position. Thank
you for coming through anyway, because even if I didn't ask,
it is important. By the way, the matches throw you,
so I hit them rung With the time, it just
seems early because I'm thinking, what time is it America?
Tomorrow's matches chitches hath Areca four am, Switzerland, Bosnia or
At Tagovnia, seven am Canada, Catar ten am Mexico, South
Korea one pm, nineteen to twelve. Here to the end

(02:01:42):
of but are end mine is? I don't think I'm
saying that. It's said that she's a mobile in the
until she dies, as she said, little she stops breathing.
You have been reminded a bit about that lately, actually,
with people families emailing me and stuff about people that
listen to the show that are loving it but haven't

(02:02:04):
got you know, how do I say this delicately? People
reaching out at the end of their life and it's
not something I've often thought about. That's not something I'm
particularly good at sending messages back to those people either,
But I try them my best. But that's not my
strong show. We're going to freaked out why that's stuff,
to be honest, But anyway, Yeah, it does please me

(02:02:26):
that there are people that enjoy this to the right.
That gives me great pleasure that people that it gives
them some joy and comfort. So yeah, I don't take that.
I don't take that responsibility lightly, but I do see
it as a responsibility. I often think Jepe's creepers the
shows a but it sounding here browly, it's not. You know,
some people might be the last show they're listening to,

(02:02:47):
so you know, try ah, try and people up. But anyway,
just as long as you know that I'm not I
don't take the audience for granted. I guess that's what
I need to say. I do my best and not
some of the things are well, I will come in
and phone it in. Will the Dane Jewels Top Tribute
be televised? It should be, I don't think it will be.

(02:03:09):
It will be live streamed on the r n Z website.
Oh are you telling me that or asking me Dan
we think it might be screened on the ran ZED website.
Confirmed from two pm on the ran ZED website Radio
New Zealand. You're paying for it, so yeah, good on you.

(02:03:30):
If you want to go watch that, it could be good.
I'll tell you something. And this hasn't been a discussion.
I'm up put this out of discussion tomorrow. Since COVID,
I have attended a number of people's funerals remotely, and
they are people that I have known who have died
and I've lived in the same town with them. I

(02:03:50):
would have gone to the funerals, but haven't been able
to because I haven't known them really really well and
it wouldn't be worth going to Dunedin or Auckland or
wherever to their funeral. But I've been watching them online.
And I guess you could say you've been attending online,
couldn't you, because you are attending the funeral. It's different
from watching or attending, isn't it, Because because when you

(02:04:10):
attend you are showing your love for that person. But anyway,
I found it to be a very very satisfactory experience.
You come away certainly getting the sense of wonder and
sorrow and joy and all those things, just as you
would attend one in person. And I guess what I'm saying,
I'm surprised how well it works. Thirteen to twelve, angry

(02:04:32):
it's Marcus, good.

Speaker 3 (02:04:33):
Evening, good evening.

Speaker 4 (02:04:34):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:04:35):
Thank you're Angie.

Speaker 3 (02:04:36):
Excellent. I'm hoping that England might win, but I never
like to be too comptin because it's been a long
time and we're not very good at penalties and we
do chokes like you said soon yeah, fingers Cross, we don't.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
Harry Kane England's greatest ever striker, although some say you
can't be unto least won the World Cup.

Speaker 3 (02:04:59):
Yeah, I don't know, it's debatable. He did his job
today though, so definitely. I'm Marcus Rashford. I'm a United fan,
so that was good.

Speaker 2 (02:05:12):
I think Gary Lineker called Harry Kane the greatest ever.
That was only half an hour ago. So yeah, what
happens with England England gets over confident when they have
one one or yeah. I wonder it's because it's the
psychology of the English supporters and team is incredible, isn't it.
Because there's so much pressure, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:05:32):
Very intense and yeah, with the press and everything, everything
is super intense, so you're either a hero or you're
the absolute opposite. I don't know whether you've seen the
thing on TV and said called the England I saw
that is that.

Speaker 2 (02:05:50):
How could they get someone to play the coach that
looks so much like them?

Speaker 3 (02:05:54):
I don't know. There was a few because the guy
who played Harry Kane wasn't bad as well. And I
know it says that it's all you know, fictitious, but
it's obviously comes from somebody's knowledge. But I thought I
thought that was good and it just shows that it's
quite It's a very intense atmosphere in England anyway, because

(02:06:14):
there's so many people and it's a smaller landmask than here.
There's a lot of pressure on people. So if you're winning, brilliant,
but if you're losing, I think it can be incredibly
hard for the players.

Speaker 2 (02:06:26):
Because even from half a world away, I know that
I know that England wanted forever ago. I know that
David Bigham brokers David big and broke his foot and
the Pope was playing for and that was a huge
thing was that there was papers, there was pray for
Beckham and stuff when he heard his foot and that
was a disaster. I'm remembering about the hand ball was

(02:06:51):
against that was against That was against Dingland, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
Yeah, No one likes Marrednas great player, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:07:00):
So there's always there's always some form of drama.

Speaker 3 (02:07:04):
Yeah, And I think it's just because we big every
singer and because we are so dense as a population
in such a small area, and the press is quite big,
and for whatever reason, England is quite on the national
stage for you know, commerce and whatever. Everything becomes elevated

(02:07:24):
and exaggerated more than it would be somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (02:07:28):
Are the English fans okay about the German coach.

Speaker 3 (02:07:32):
I don't think they're bothered as long as we're win
and you know, we talk.

Speaker 2 (02:07:35):
About the wars.

Speaker 3 (02:07:36):
They don't talk about the war. It's all very faulty towers.
Nobody really care.

Speaker 2 (02:07:40):
It's pregnant because it's well. But if we starts losing,
it could turn ver very quickly, could not.

Speaker 3 (02:07:45):
If we start losing, it will all go back to
you invaded Poland, isn't that.

Speaker 2 (02:07:51):
I don't know how you get a coach. I don't
know how You've been out here for.

Speaker 3 (02:07:55):
A while have you. Yeah, since twenty eighteen.

Speaker 2 (02:07:59):
Oh you're taking it in very good humor. Okay, now
tell me something. Who else because you've got the toughest
of the too, which is not good. Now.

Speaker 3 (02:08:09):
Well, my second team, so in my summer's teacher, so
I've given all my students a.

Speaker 2 (02:08:15):
Telling your kids that Cape Woody is, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (02:08:17):
Getting the making sure they can pronounce it. They don't
listen to my FM. But so my second team is Columbia,
so I'm written for them, and they did well today
as well, although they were any playing Izbekistan and I
don't really know much about them.

Speaker 2 (02:08:33):
Well, what's exciting for me is that we've got Columbia
playing Congo next week, and in the cargo we have
a lot of refugees have come here, but the two
groups have mainly been Congo and Colombia. So I expect
there's going to be a showing of that at the
Red Cross, which I think we'll go to because it

(02:08:53):
would be that would be really exciting for two new
communities in the city, so I'm looking forward to that one.
I don't know who's going to work because Congo had
a draw, didn't they. I think Congo's had a drawer.

Speaker 3 (02:09:03):
Yeah, it was one one against Portugal, so they.

Speaker 2 (02:09:05):
Did really well year, really well.

Speaker 3 (02:09:07):
Okay, yeah, so yeah, I don't know what Ronaldo is on.
He's probably just busy thinking that you didn't want to
message her up, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:09:13):
Yeah, that's exactly what that's Now? Who else in your group?

Speaker 14 (02:09:16):
We've got?

Speaker 2 (02:09:16):
You've got You've seen Croatia off which I think number
twenty in the world.

Speaker 4 (02:09:20):
Who are your other.

Speaker 3 (02:09:20):
Team Garner and Panama? Oh yeah, okay, so I mean
the one that I was worried about was the one today.
But then I mean with anyone can play.

Speaker 2 (02:09:35):
To be typical of England to win this and then
lose the next town't it.

Speaker 22 (02:09:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:09:39):
I think the shockers so far from me have been Portugal.
In Spain, yes, has been pretty puns.

Speaker 2 (02:09:46):
Have you worked out who where you need to finish
in your group and who you play in the next group?
Have you gone that fight or you do not dream?

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
I think, well, no, I'm hoping that we finished top
of this one top two from everyone goes through anyway,
and then it's the eight best losers, so we're not
in that. Then we don't deserve to be there. So
I don't care, yes, but I don't know how they've
arrived at this eight third place people. I don't know
whether the Americans have thought about goal difference and all

(02:10:15):
the permutations that well. I think we'll definitely go through.
But there's been a lot of draws, a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:10:22):
Of draws, and one group had one group hit one
day they head all draws the first time. But you
don't know who. You don't know if England goes through
top who you play the next round.

Speaker 3 (02:10:31):
I'm just doing look printed out but so we're group
L so I've managed to print it out as if
I am some kind of phenomenal spy watching it on
a piece of paper. I print it out for school
and given the kids.

Speaker 2 (02:10:52):
You've given the kids at school a team so you
can watch it at school, I Geather, is it your technic?

Speaker 3 (02:10:57):
We're not supposed to watch it at school. No, obviously
because it didn't work. There's a possibility if we're looking
at you know, using our muscles and regration and.

Speaker 2 (02:11:06):
Stuff, you could claim cultural writer. I think if it's England,
but I don't know where to be graduate watching your
your own if they got through to the semis or something.

Speaker 3 (02:11:13):
Anyway, I think everybody was watching New Zealand the other day.

Speaker 2 (02:11:16):
It's good good.

Speaker 3 (02:11:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:11:20):
So if England wins, who's in the other group you
go against? Have you got that on your chart?

Speaker 3 (02:11:26):
That's what I'm looking at by it. It's so small
that I can't see it. I'm as human that Group
L goes against Group K. So if it is that,
and it might not be because I can't read my
stupid quenday. If we won, I say.

Speaker 2 (02:11:41):
Against the runner up of Group K, which would be.

Speaker 3 (02:11:44):
Which would probably be Columbia, okay, and then that would
be my two teams that I've got my hopes on.
So that would be a bit of a name.

Speaker 2 (02:11:54):
Okay, Well, sons of like Angie, I'll be thinking of
you because you sound so reasonable, and I think because
no doubt there will be some twists or the Weggs
will get in trouble, but let's think. Thank you so
much for that, Ngie. I've enjoyed that discussion, and good
luck with all of that. But both you, Mike, it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (02:12:07):
Good evening, Yeah, Hi, good evening, How things good?

Speaker 2 (02:12:10):
Thank you, Mike?

Speaker 28 (02:12:11):
Yeah, English, Angie. One of her first words was excellent. Yeah,
So that that's really excellent, Angie. Anyway, No, I was
just thinking before, do you think.

Speaker 10 (02:12:26):
There's any substance to the notion that as people get older.

Speaker 28 (02:12:31):
And really really wealthy, they actually lose their own self
identity and only really identify themselves by the money they have, so.

Speaker 4 (02:12:40):
They sort of become money.

Speaker 6 (02:12:43):
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
Yeah, I don't know of anyone that the money has
made them. Money makes people mean spirited.

Speaker 28 (02:12:52):
Well, yeah, they They're definitely not interested in parting with
any of their ego, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:12:58):
Well, I think they. I think they. I think they
use their wealth to define themselves and how successful they are,
and that's a that's a crazy thing to do.

Speaker 6 (02:13:07):
Correct Well anyway, yeah, yeah, but you know, I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:13:12):
We're fixated on the rich list. I think we said
the happiness list, and That's what I'd be doing. But yeah,
who knows. Anyway, Roman is along next, thanks to when
we got there in the end, and I'll be back
again tomorrow. Yeah, it'd be a good topic one night.
Maybe it's not a Friday night topic, talk about attending
funerals in person? Anyhow, who knows what we would be

(02:13:33):
talking about tomorrow night. But yeah, enjoy your Friday. It
is moments away and I'll talk to you again tomorrow
from eight pm.

Speaker 1 (02:13:41):
