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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be don't want to be the worried parent guy,
but be careful driving around Central. I think it's quite
icy today too, that's the vibe I'm getting. So yeah,
I see I see a lot of our cold conditions
with the road of seeing some of those shots of
Dunedin with the roads being slippery and stuff like that.
So it feels like we're until winter. I think we're
into July, are we? Goodness? It's the second welcome how
I I hope it's good. Were you are here till

(00:32):
twelve right through? Goodness? Grageous me. I'd like to promise
you a village people freeze home, but I don't know
if that's true. Actually, you know what, I heard them
on the radio playing some village people and I thought,
jeep it screeper is Actually it was mean spirited of
me not to play at Lark because it sounds so good. Anyway,
that is that, but we will try not to play it,

(00:54):
young man. Anyway, I get in touch. You want to
be a part of the show Hittle twelve o'clock tonight,
non curated talk, A bit of anything. It is the
Thursday free for all. If you want to partake, that's
the plan, the more the merria. If you don't, that's fine,
sit back, kick back, listen. You can text, you can call,
you can email. Some say you can facts, but I'm
not so sure who still uses facts, as there are

(01:14):
people that do it. Anyway, get in touch. You want
to be part of it, as I say, oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine. Text if you
want to partake non curated talk anyway, there we go.
Oh by the way, too, I've been mentioning in the
last couple of days that Michael Laws is going to
run for White Tuckey. That's going to announced tomorrow by
all accounts. Ah, yes, anyway, that's the thing that's going

(01:38):
to happen. That'll get the elections a bit more fizzed up.
I would think, as long as you're not debating him
so argumented of such a good arguer. Anyway, that's my
take on that one. Apparently that's gonna announced tomorrow. Here's
an email I've got today they'll start the whole boar rolling.
What do you think about this? This is from Shirley Shurly.

(01:58):
It starts Hey Marcus full stop, which I like because
it's an old sounding name, but it's quite an informal
start to an email, Hay Marcus full stop. The last
couple of months, I've stayed at two different motels, both
saying on a notice on the door, please take your
shoes off. I was like, hmm, wondering what the listeners think. Personally,

(02:19):
I think it's not re accommodating. Fank shurl free informal
towards the end drops the shirl. How are we you
going too a motel shoes off? You never got an
opinion on that, But of course I don't think they're
going to enforce it, are they? But you know that's
becoming more of a thing with people taking their shoes off.
Would you have a problem with that? Is that something

(02:39):
you'd push back on, something that's something that you'd email
the radio station about. I don't even know if i'd
noticed the sign, but if you thought of that, I mean,
I don't know where this discussion goes. Are people think
this is the beginning of the end? I would imagine
now and when I get I would imagine I worry
about myself because I'm one way that I'm padding for time.
I suspect these days that I kind of want to

(03:04):
say that people kind of their feet might be muddier. No,
it doesn't really, it doesn't really pass the test that one. Yeah, yeah,
I'm struggling with this one. I feel that I feel
it's a valid thing to ask, but I can't quite
work out what's changed. Is it the price of carpet.
I'm sure most people would be very happy to just
take off muddy shoes and leave them at the door.
So anyway, that's the first question for tonight shoes off?

(03:26):
Where are we with that shoes off at hotels? I suspect, Oh,
that's what I was thinking of. Maybe more and more
people have shoes now. Yes, that's what I'm thinking of.
More and more people now would wear an rim William's
boot or something like that that's easy to take off.
I think laced up shoes have become less and less common. Well,
then I'm thinking of your sneakers and your trainers, and

(03:46):
people like to wear those, and they're quite complicatedly laced.
See is that's not going to pass the argument? Anyway?
Where are you with this one? It's a couple of
calls to see if we've got a vibe on this one.
Do you think it's rude to ask to take your
shoes off? Do you think it's a mountain on a
mole hall. Do you think Shirley should chill out and
get yourself some slip ons or a like Birkenstock mule?

(04:09):
Is that what it's called? We just kick it in
great shoes, kick them in, kick them off, and of
course crocs. I would say, these days you looked at
shoes a lot more shoes are easier to slip on
and off, and maybe the motelliers are thinking, well, actually,
you know, the carpet bill was a lot and these
days a lot of people wear kick off shoes, Your
burken stuffs, your crocs are rms. Maybe we could put

(04:30):
notes up saying no shoes inside please. I guess they
always could go somewhere else. If you've got a comment
on this, to start the whole wall wrong, that's the
original for tonight. I think we've got a good response
on this. Hopefully we get someone that says that they're
offended by it, and someone says it's a good idea,
then we've got both sides catered and we can move
from there. I will keep you update with other news
throughout the next four hours too. People, but your shoes off?

(04:53):
Are we okay about that? Or do we think it's offensive?
So if you've got something to say about that, that's
the start for tonight. As we count down to Taylor
Swift's wedding, that's tomorrow, Well it's tomorrow, and for Saturday
to third and the fourth. They're winding in the way
to Manhattan as we speak. This will be the biggest
weddings since Harry and Meghan. I would imagine as far

(05:14):
as the world goes, but shoes I'm not looking at
the response. I'm not seeing the response I thought I
would get on this disappointing. If you got something to
say about that, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty,
come on, we won't ever sweepstake. I don't think tomorrow
on the rugby just telling you, just putting that out there.
But yes, get in touch if you want to talk.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine two nine to

(05:36):
two to text. There will be other topics tonight, But
worry about taking your shoes off. We'll be asked to
I think the beginning was open homes wasn't it an
open homes to always ask you to take your shoes off?
Which I don't know what that's about. All those people
in their socks walking around looking in people's drawers, But
that's from Shirley. Keep those texts coming through, Marcus. I

(05:57):
think it's a good idea about shoes. Imagine all the
chemicals Council round up that might be on your shoes.
But a motel should provide some sort of slipper in
case FI gets cold. Absolutely shoes off, always on every
shoes inside anybody's place, chairs, Steve. Maybe the young generation
don't care. They leave motel's terrible little piggies. I wouldn't
want to walk around and berefood of socks, not knowing

(06:19):
who else had been doing that prior to me. Polish
custom always shoes off, chaos. It's Marcus greetings and good evening.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, get a Marcus.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I think it's just just common cudisy that you take
your shoes off, Like if you go to someone's house,
you take your shoes off to go in there, So
why not take it off as the motel?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Where did that start?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Just being curious in taking your shoes off when you
need to someone's house.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
But we didn't always take shoes off, did we.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I haven't been on the planet that long, but ever
since I was a young fella, it's been take your
shoes off when you go to someone's else. In this
otherwise told, I.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Feel it's kind of over the last twenty five years,
it's got kind of action. The old shoes off inside thing.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, you'd be thirty five, would.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
You, Oh, just past it and the forty yet Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm just wondering about that too, because it was never
a thing, but now these days it's always kind of
what do you do? Is it shoes off with shoes on?
You got to ask or something like that.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, just I just maybe it's depends on where you
were brought up and in the area you're brought up
on the era, you know, someone's kind of someone's else,
take your shoes off.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Where you're going might be a South Island thing like
chicken salt. More about this, please, private shoes, private houses,
take shoes off, Hotels leave shoes on, Marcus, there be
a lot of shoes being stolen in New Zealand. Maybe fine.
In Asia they wouldn't let you in if you had
no shoes on double standards, that's right. Once upon a

(07:57):
time you couldn't wear shoes. Once upon a time you
didn't have shoes, you couldn't get into places. I should
know because I had a bit of a no shoes
phase couldn't get into the casino. Didn't do me any harm.
That for actually the starters, JOHNS Marcus could eave again.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
Welcome, Hello Marcus. I'm walking down the riverbed giving my
dog a walk and it's freezing puting in cold. Here's
you're talking about shoes outside or leaving your shoes outside.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
My question is.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
How many people have come out of a mariah where
it's common to leave your shoes outside at the door,
and everybody does. They will come in beer feet and
we'll not bear feet in this sox and a couple
of on a couple of occasions, I've come out and
can't find my shoes. And there can be anything. If

(08:51):
it's a big gathering, there can be anything. Twenty fifty,
maybe even one hundred people out there with all their
shoes sitting out of the doorstep. Come out and you
wonder when the hell did I leave my shoes?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
You find it, You find yourself, you find yourself a
secret POSSI. I think the answer to that one you
kind of put them in the lift, over a bench
or something that's always the way otherwise in the corner.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
That's my favorite trick. But I think everybody likes to
leave their shoes in the corner, so you can go
to the corner you think you left your shoes and
find half a dozen other people have had exactly the
same thought. So they've left their shoes in the corner.
Just yeah, talking about shoes outside Honamuri, very common practice.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
What river are you walking, John, I'm walking down the
Ashley Racahouri River.

Speaker 6 (09:43):
Been up to the r for a nice couple of sessions,
come home and my dog as demands his walk. So
it's dark, it's it's sort of foggy, and it's very
very cold.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
What province are we talking?

Speaker 6 (09:59):
Canbary or.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
And Ashley?

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Heyes, you're going to.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Depending on them flogging off the golf What is that
part of your area?

Speaker 6 (10:08):
Certainly yes, most it definitely is, yes, And I don't
agree with them flogging off the golf course. It seems
to be then for housing development, seems.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
To end of the century they got it for a song.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
They did, they did, And I'm an old brickie and
I've laid a lot of bricks in the Pegasus village.
And you know, we had to do all sorts of
jumps to all sorts of hoops in the early days
just to get that show off the ground. And it's
developed into a lovely little village.

Speaker 9 (10:44):
But everybody that.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Bought him there, they wanted it as it was, and
as they bought their properties, with a golf course, the
green space and all those sort of things. And just
because the company's gone, or the golf course itself has
gone sort of bankrupt, you flog it off to the

(11:09):
highest better. And the highest better happens to be a
housing company, and they're going to poach onto the green
space and the outlook and change the whole character of
the district.

Speaker 10 (11:20):
Just to.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Make a dollar. And John, you might have to dun
worth more than a dollar.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
You might have to dust the old trowel off. There's
seventeen hundred houses there. You might be called beckon.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
I'm too bloody old Marcus, so I really am?

Speaker 9 (11:36):
Is he passed?

Speaker 6 (11:37):
It is in retired veteran or your hips both knees
and its and a touch of rheumatoid arthritis, and some
of your listeners will understand just how debilitating matters keep hect.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
And good to hear you walking, John, thanks so much
for their twenty past night Shoes inside Shoes at motels.
There you go, Marcus. Why are all motel owners so
miserable and have no manners? Yeah, looks it like running
a motel. I reckon and do your head in. I
regon to be hard. I regon it to be hard
work being a motelia that can actually just turn off

(12:13):
everything in Jeeper's cream is what's happening in unit three?
A lot of cars coming and going. What's dipping in
unit three? I don't regon because I see it's many
people at the end of like retired people that become
a telliers. I don't reckon. There'd be an easy road.
If you're a motellia, let us know what if your
metellia maybem can let us know about shoes and socks
outside also, and pegas is always up for discussion, Marcus.

(12:35):
When I was selling my house an Invercargo, the agent
told me he liked it when a North Islander ride
first an open home. Is it often take these shoes off?
And others would follow. So it's a North Island thing,
not like chicken salt. Get in touch ed'ill twelve, eight
twenty two, all about the shoes and are out? What
a you got people for that Motellia is saying you
shouldn't we hear shoes inside? Is that part of their brief?

(12:59):
I'm waiting for the Motellias to call Marcus. I got
chicken and chips in the New World of Portugui last night.
Asked if I had a chicken salt, and I thought,
if you shoes on, as motels are just dirty, next
time will be pleased. Those shagging in bed sometimes you
don't want to know. But I see your point. If

(13:22):
they're that worried, what else are they worried about? That's
a word I haven't used before on here. Couldn't think
anything else to say, Marcus, have you not come across
those doormats where you wipe your feet and say, lose
the shoes? Well, let's be particularly clear. This is Shirley's question.
I have no opinion. I'm just asking where we are
about motels and shoes, And already there's been some extremely

(13:44):
good points that have been made. Beer feet on carpet unhygienic.
Definitely shoes on at a motel. The previous people may
have athletes foot, particularly if it's a sports tournament. Wow, Marcus,
I'm not old. They have a serious back problem. Taking
my shoes on and off, it's a bit of a deal.
I often negotiate politely depending on the set of my shoes.

(14:06):
Most people are quite accommodating. Is at what age do
you start carrying around the horn the shoehorn, work, boots off,
normal shoes clean and all good. Normally shoes off. Always
take shoes off and hats off to show respect. By
the way, just if I'm not a hats off person,
I think that is outdated and boring, and if I

(14:27):
can't see a reason for it, I'm not going to
do it. I leave my hat on. In fact, I
thought i'd lost my hat, so I had to go
buy another hat. And what do you think the first
thing I saw when I got home was my hat.
So they had to give one of the children on
condition if I lose mine, I get the other one back.
Was a complicated negotiation. I think we solved it. Didn't
sign anything. I'm waiting anyone run a motel what would

(14:48):
be the most exciting thing about running a motel? You know,
I think the most exciting about running a motel would
be all the phone charges. You'd be in phone charge
heaven zenith get I mate?

Speaker 7 (15:03):
Ala?

Speaker 11 (15:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Good, thank you yourself?

Speaker 12 (15:06):
Do you just written along nicely? Men listening to the
to the motel conversation. Now, we all know there's lots
of things we do in motels and moteliers certain they
wouldn't want us to do, and we do it anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
So what they So why do they bother? Are you saying?
Why would they bother? With the sign?

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (15:29):
Do you mean? It's just something else they're gonna not
want done? But people are going to do it anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, I did it. Remember there was that fust with people.
There was that fust for people cooking foreign food there
for a while, wasn't there You couldn't carries and madame matter.
I think it was remember or.

Speaker 12 (15:50):
Throw your fish up in the in the kitchen on
the pin, or all your eggs and the jag, you know,
all that sort of stuff. And I think they were
really going to be terribly policing the old no shoes
in the room buzz.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I think what it was was people were washing their
underwear and the kettles. I think that was something that
people thought was a step too fast.

Speaker 12 (16:10):
Now you don't see a sign on the wall of
the kitchen, please don't wash your underpants in the kennel?

Speaker 8 (16:15):
Do you.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Live because of people thinking, Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
I mon't give that an idea.

Speaker 12 (16:24):
You wouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Funny? Is in it? Funny? You're in good form. Hooning
alone is hooning along along? Oh yeah, what would be
the worst thing to do in a motel? That's rhetorical.
We look at motel hecks now, Marcus, I'm paying for
the accommodation. I keep my shoes on. Also hate it

(16:49):
when there's little notices all around the motel, you know,
telling what you can can't do. Yeah, you don't want notices,
that's what you don't want. And now everyone's published with
all the decks top there's always signs, Marcus. My frequency
of motel visits has seen me cook bacon on the
iron and the occasional building and the jug. Never know
my Andi's and the jug though, oh here's a motelier.

(17:12):
I love some of the people we meet, but there's
also some people we don't want to see back. They
get escorts in and drug deals go on, lots of
broken nights sleeps. Is this something inherently bad about getting
escorts in? Though, I guess that's the question. Need I
mean they are paying for the room, surely what they
do there is he's talking about forty escorts and people

(17:35):
hooning around in the car yard or the car park
might be what it's about a shoes motels? Come on,
it's a good topic. It's god all you can. You
can check every dimension at this fancy someone's on. They
may have athletes foot feet. Get in touch if you
want to comment on this. Eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and it's a side top. You're talking about the

(17:56):
golf course at Pegasus that's going to be seventeen hundred homes.
But it's a quick question, good entry level talk back. Yeah.
Do the motellers have the right to tell you everything?
And are you a motellier? And one of the things
that make you lose sleep at night? Is it all
about the shoes? Be hard to police? I guess I
just don't want to replace the carpet when there seems

(18:19):
to be some sort of with motels. There seems to
be some sort of a ah, you know, how do
I say this? Some of them get a bit dated
and age, don't they They kind of change. They start
good and then the kind of the standards go and
I guess they'd either you've got to kind of bring
them back up. It seems to kind of be a
race to the bottom. Then, of course they become hotels

(18:40):
that allow dogs. I'm never quite sure about that. Oh,
I don't really fume. I have an opinion, but I
I turned on the mic one day and I say,
you know what, guys, this is my last show. I've
decided to become a Metellia Motelia to all you can
to stop because be the worst one in the world.
I wouldn't be signing. I just don't think i'd find

(19:01):
it that relaxing every mind, or maybe I would maybe
everyvery good. I doubt it though, going around those tiny
fridges putting in those tiny things of milk mean goodness me,
what's wrong with a pint of milk? From time to time?
All those mean little plastic things anyway. Hitle twelve, twenty
six to nine, John AT's Marcus Good Evening.

Speaker 13 (19:22):
Oh Hello, Marcus, Just two quick things about motels. Two
of the worst things I've ever done in a motel.
One was I broke the bed in a motel at
a Merrima And the other one, I would mind you
When I did that, I.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Was, so, what did what did you do to the bed?

Speaker 13 (19:45):
I broke it?

Speaker 9 (19:46):
Wow?

Speaker 13 (19:47):
The bloody bed collapsed?

Speaker 9 (19:49):
Wow?

Speaker 13 (19:51):
Mind you it was sixty years ago.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yes. Do you think sixty years ago would be there'd
be less lightly to collapse because they would have been
built better.

Speaker 13 (19:59):
Well, anyway, it was hilarious at the time.

Speaker 14 (20:05):
To me.

Speaker 13 (20:06):
It mightn't have been to the motel. No.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
No.

Speaker 13 (20:10):
And the other thing I did in a motel. Have
you ever tried to boil an egg in a microwave?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
No? No, I think I would have known. But these
would be the early days of microwaves, are they.

Speaker 13 (20:24):
Well, I'll tell you when it was. When did nine
eleven take place?

Speaker 2 (20:29):
September?

Speaker 13 (20:31):
Yeah, But we were we were watching on the television
these planes.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
You thought, gee, I'll tell you what. There's people falling
by the falling from buildings. Boy, I feel like a
boiled egg.

Speaker 15 (20:41):
Is it that?

Speaker 13 (20:43):
That's just sort of how it went. And in the
middle of it the poor old proprietor of the motel
had to come across and sort out the microwave, and ah,
it was a disaster.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
And you're going, gee, how about that situation in New York?
So what happened? Did you ring him and say I
ricked your microwave?

Speaker 13 (21:02):
I think so. I think I rang them. You know,
there was some immersion. See phone number you could bring
if you had a problem in your mottel, And I said,
I don't think my microwaves.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Working, and a bust would What did it do?

Speaker 13 (21:20):
The whole bloody egg exploded in the microwave, and you
know before it was hard, so there was Oh.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I think if I might tell you, i'd just ban
the eggs. I don't even know that to have microwaves anymore?
Would they Maybe?

Speaker 13 (21:37):
I don't know, but I just advise all your listeners
not to try and boil an egg and microwave. It
doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Did you tell mister Amaroma that you'd broken the bed?

Speaker 10 (21:50):
I know.

Speaker 13 (21:50):
I think we just propped it up and left it
and walked out in the morning. Didn't say a thing.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Brilliant The stories we like, John, thank you, And as
you said, we too. I think that was important twenty
one to nine or eight one hundred and eighty Tenadian
nineteen nine two to text motels We've got so someone
rung up and said they've been to two motels that
said no shoes inside. How do you feel about that?

(22:17):
I'm neutrum curious to know what you want to say
about this one? Who'd want to be a motelia? Are
you a motelia? And bad things you've done in a motel?
All good things. That's the kind of the theme for tonight.
Fo bought me like me up? What have you got?
This is a good entry level talkback topic. Oh eight
hundred and eighty eight, it'll twelve nine to nine two
to text breaking usemen happens any more of the village

(22:40):
people dial that you know about that? We're on high alert,
ah so I said. Or when it's hot and others
leave their motel room door open and you go marching
all the way back into the wrong room, and a
half dressed, full and hoken guy just stares at you
like wow, goodness, Micause, I think it's weird when you

(23:04):
dress up go out to dinner at a friend's house
sitting there with bare feet because the hosts ask everyone
to remove these shoes. Wow, Marcus, is there anywhere publicly
you go where you do remove your hat? It's a
very good question. It's a very good question. Where would
I publicly remove my hat. I don't always wear a hat,
but has been cold, So where would I remove my hat? Yeah?

(23:31):
I would remove my hat in a city council meeting,
and I would move my hat and I and i'd
move my hat at church, although I don't think you
need to move. You remove your hat at church, there'll
be fair to it be for me. But you know,
I'm I'm not. This is not the cross I'm going

(23:51):
to die on. I just don't have that belief that
you've got to remove your head every time there's a
roof over your head. That's not my love language anyway.
But a good question. I'll answer any question, honestly, Marcus.
I guess the new house on the golf course maybe
all and lots of basic houses between the large high
quality homes are existing. Gosh, poor people out terrible, Yes,

(24:16):
and motels. Are you a Motelia? Someone said you must
remove your hat for a courtroom. But it's been a
while since I've been in a courtroom, and I think
the last time, was there a remove my hat or
was not wearing one here? Seventeen to nine. Back at
your people huddle twelve lines are free fifteen to nine.
So it seems to be hats and shoes. That's the
theme of tonight, Oh Marcus. The worst thing of it

(24:41):
in a motel is putting body wash in a spa bath.
Don't do it. It doesn't stop lathering up over the
bath that goes across the floor and still gathering amentum
hek of a cleanup motels and signs and shoes. The
email from Shirley that started this discussion tonight, and please
feel free to partake in this discussion because this is

(25:02):
your topic for tonight people from Shirley Marcus. The last
couple months, I've stayed at two different motels, both saying
on a notice on the door, please take your shoes off.
I was like wondering what the listeners think next thing
will be the bus or the aeroplane. I personally don't
think it's very accommodating your views. Please, oh eight hundred

(25:23):
and eighty ten eighty fIF you want a text, that's
fine too. Nine text I'll get your updated news when
that happens. She's all on get in touch if you
want to talk httor twelve that's the plan. Anything else
you want to mention, also, feel free to take your chance.
Nine two nine too is the text number you want

(25:43):
to come through with something else. People are walking there
with the news and whatever. But it's about the shoes
and the motels and what's it like being a motelia?
How long could you last? You're probably two years and
you're done?

Speaker 16 (25:55):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Maybe that would be my limit? We never have a break,
would you? People going at you the whole time? I
think before too long, it's probably going to be motels
are going to be people free. It's going to be
all done online and just with electronic keys, because you
probably don't really need to see someone. I mean, do
be ready for someone to say full milk or trim milk.

(26:17):
That's really the only interaction. Full milk or trim milk.
Well these days it's just about four or five of
those little plastic containers of milk and the oat is
it called oot that oot milk that you can drink
if that's your jam or having your coffee. I suppose
your oat milk?

Speaker 9 (26:36):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Is it pronounced someone or no? And we got. How's
the Azmpic working out for you people? All good? Read
a lot of articles about that these days. Has it
been around a year now? I think it'd be aboudy
yet it start in July? We get it last year.
But beck at your people want to talk on for
this discussion? Oot, there are we going there?

Speaker 8 (27:02):
Old Dan?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
You got what what's happening? We got some people coming there?
We go old seventy hundred houses on the golf course,
the old Pegasus. Didn't the lake die? Whatever? That lake
a little bit scody last time I was there. Yeah,
Rossett's Marcus good.

Speaker 17 (27:17):
Evening, Hey Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Ross good? Thank you?

Speaker 17 (27:21):
Yeah, we own a motel.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
We got bored with COVID.

Speaker 17 (27:24):
So in the middle of that we bought a little
five unit motel old School and fifty youanger.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Great amountain and can I just say five would be perfect?

Speaker 8 (27:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, it is on the shoes thought about it,
and I've seen a few others around town that take
your shoes off.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
We don't.

Speaker 17 (27:45):
And I think most people probably don't expect their fellow
motel what do you call them guests to be doing
the same thing. But I noticed different cultures will definitely
take their shoes off regardless. Sure, but we do ask
trade ees and workboots if you wouldn't mind work boots off.

(28:07):
Once again, most most of the guys that come in,
you know that are working on building sites or roads,
you know, they just take their they take their boots off.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
And it seems I've noticed riss as you will have
the traders nowhere there zip with their lace up boots.
They have zip on the sides to which they enjoy
taking on with great electrity. Help down it goes and
they're out the feed up TV remote bear.

Speaker 17 (28:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, but that's yeah, I think
it's a bit of a fine line, you know. I
mean actually mother Wilder traveler bit and you know sometimes
you go and maintenance, there's just labels everywhere about this
that and all the rest of it. You know, we've
just got one in the kitchen. Don't don't fry up

(28:50):
you know, fresh fish and spicy food and that that's
pretty standard and that that really gets heated too as well. Yes, yeah,
I mean you have to do that because that's someone.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
And you're a fishing town too, aren't just that people.

Speaker 17 (29:04):
Might have Yeah, yep, yep. But the secret there made
is you have a barbecue around the around the back
and you just got to communicate with people. That's the
thing we've found. And I'll tell you something else, mate,
I'll tell you something that we do that no one
has ever offered to me and all the travel I've done,

(29:24):
and I'm not a young person, is that if our
rooms are ready to go, will text you and go Marcus,
your room's ready, mate, here's the number for the lock
box to get in.

Speaker 8 (29:35):
Go for it.

Speaker 17 (29:36):
And that is an absolute winner because.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Even so you mean you can it might be ready
at eleven o'clock.

Speaker 17 (29:43):
You know I'm going, Oh wow, absolutely, And a further
fideago Motel dot co, dot and Z by the way,

if you were checking in with me tomorrow right and
no one was in your room tonight, I'd text you

room's ready from ten in the morning. See, it makes

(30:06):
no difference to me whether you know what I'm saying, Like, it's.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Just where our anywhere, Yeah, this is it is.

Speaker 17 (30:15):
Right now, one hundred percent. Where is it anywhere where
you rent something right from from two pm to teenagers.
You know, like I get it with a lot of
other motels because they've got to turn around. But most
of them don't, you know, most of them their rooms
ready and and you know half there's motels now and
crisis and when do you want an early check? And

(30:37):
they changed your twenty bucks?

Speaker 11 (30:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Crazy crazy, it's just ye, that's our little thing. So
your fidiago motel, dot co, dot.

Speaker 17 (30:44):
M Z that's u's mate, Yep, yep. And we do
discounts for all our all our tradees because I was
a trade once upon time. And we'll just absolutely do
our fel you know, I feel like I've stayed there.
You might have well yeah.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
Years ago.

Speaker 17 (31:03):
Yeah no, it wouldn't have been at we had a
name change. Can you believe no one?

Speaker 2 (31:09):
I'm looking at I'm looking at the I'm looking at
the pictures.

Speaker 17 (31:12):
See gypsy right.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Love, I've got a run, I got commercials. But thank
you five way from loving this love it. This is
in my wheelhouse. Absolutely my wheelhouse. Jeff, it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (31:24):
Good evening, Jeff, Oh yeah, sorry mate, Yeah, phone reception
is not that great. Listen, there's a builder of worked
on motels. Okay, and gone back when and finished off.
But on all the doors we put we put little
signs on there, please take our shoes off, because the

(31:45):
motelians are saying that people might walk on there were shoes,
but they could they could have a bit of gravel
underneath them, they could be a bit dirty and woman
with soleto heels online it's just lethal destroy a line, Jeff.

(32:07):
So that's on all the motels. Motels units, we put
a big we put it. When I went to finish off,
naturally we take our work boots off so we can
go and finish off inside. But the lino layers have
been there in the kitchen and the toilet and even

(32:29):
the bathrooms and carpet it out. But we put sign
The motel owners were insisting that they've had they've had
motels in the past and people were the wrong, wrong
sort of shoes have absolutely destroyed the carpet and the lino.

(32:52):
So that's why, Jeff, that's it.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 11 (32:55):
Yeah? I can hear.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Because you don't reply when I say, Jeff, are you markers?

Speaker 11 (33:00):
The phone reception is not that great, sometimes terrible.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I was gonna say, or cork an interesting text here,
right and I didn't know if I was going to
talk about this tonight, and I won't. I'll save that
TI laughter in the next hour. But if you want
to lean, if you want to beat me up, for
the next hour, I get in touch corbage because I
got to say I've got something quite life changing to say.
Also and come through for the next hour. It's about

(33:30):
motels and shoes. Some tremendous texts keep it going. Talk
about a hotel behavior behavior at a hotel that should
take your shoes off? Because someone said there was two
signs saying you should take your shoes off? Should you really?
I love the guy before the news Ross for theangermotels
dot co, dot m Z. But yes, it seems as
are the most important to all of the matellia as
the laminator. They love to laminate a sign. They go everywhere.

(33:54):
Someone texts, right, this is a text the best heck
I have when staying in a hotel or motel. Pack
of trouser skirt clothes hanging the one with clips. You
can use it to the curtains together if there is
a gap, stops the light coming and hang it vertically.
Amy from Christ Judge, this is the very thing I

(34:14):
wanted to address I've been waiting for the moment. I
am someone that loves a dark room. One of my
top ten loves would be dark rooms. I love a
dark room, and one of the challenges of working slightly
irregular hours is fighting lights in your room. Particular, if
you're getting up going to bed at one and getting

(34:35):
up at eight or nine in the morning, sometimes the
light comes through. Now I'm not a podcast expert. I'm
not a wellness influencer or one of those bores that
will go on and tell you how to live your
life and tell you what supplements to take, or tell
your hacks to change your life or what works for you,
or how to talk to you and a child. However,
the one thing I have discovered that has been transformative

(34:57):
for me as a thing you wear that covers your
eyes fantastic. Then you've got no worries. Could just pop
it on and it's dark and you wake less easily
in the morning because I'm quite sensitive to light. But
I've got the mask on brilliant. In fact, i want
a more severe mask. I want one that's more like
an executioner's mask that goes right over my head with

(35:20):
just well just with my mouth. And I don't know
where to get one of those, but anyway, that's just me.
But yeah, I love a I don't want to call
it an imask. Love them quite hard to get. So
there we go. That's my rant. Actually I thought the
rant was going to come across more excited than it was.
But there we go. Love an I mask. Maybe I
doesn't see my top five things. The imask would be
there just for the partner and children. Oh wait T

(35:43):
one hundred and eighty ten eighty, Craig Mark, Oh, Craig,
it's Marc is good evening, good evening. How's it going, Craig,
it's going well, thank you.

Speaker 8 (35:52):
That's good.

Speaker 18 (35:53):
I shear your pain. I used to wake night shift
many years ago, and when I bought myself a seat
of those blackout curtains, and they were totally transformative to cutting.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
All the lives hang on, Craig. What's easier blackout curtains
or an imask?

Speaker 18 (36:06):
Probably an eyemasker exactly. I tend to wiggle around my
sleep and any but that I mask around my neck
or something stupid like that, So.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I don't wriggle when you're sleep.

Speaker 18 (36:16):
I have very vivid dreams and sort of try and
get involved in it. So you know, that's a totally
side psychological problem. Farres the shoes on the motels and stuff.
I've always basically when I've gone to motels and stayed
for work, checked my shoes. If they really did, I've
listened by the door. Otherwise I straightened them off from
the mat. But I used to help a friend of
mine out during holidays from politic years ago. I earned

(36:37):
a carpet cleaning.

Speaker 8 (36:38):
But the listen.

Speaker 18 (36:38):
We used to do a lot of motels, and some
of the water that came out of perfectly clean carpets
just made you feel crap. But my big question is
when you go to a.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Motel, hang on, hang on, there's a lot, there's a
lot to unpick this hold that. My question is stay
with the thought I write that down. When you were
at university, did you stay.

Speaker 8 (36:55):
Up poly tech polyitech?

Speaker 2 (36:58):
There was a mate of yours that had a cleaning
company and his job was to clean carpets and motels,
and you helped them, and you'd go on a occasionally
to a clean motel and the color of the water would.

Speaker 18 (37:10):
Be about the coffer of sort of like coffee dark
coffee cup.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
So what you're saying is what might look like clean
carpet is not clean carpet.

Speaker 18 (37:18):
No, that's why a lot of motel carpets, like I told,
are quite dark colors to hide it all. But yeah,
but the Christian that you might be able to happen
me with us when I'll stay to motels and stuff,
what's the etiquette on You've got a breakfast bar with
all these little gems and butters and sugars and coffees.
What's the etiquette on those? Do you take what you
need or do you just take the wrestling when you go.

(37:41):
I've got a friend of mine who cleans out the
entire thing when he goes. It's like, well, I've paid
for the room, so that I've paid for those as well,
and he takes everything. I'm thinking, well, I've sort of
been brought up. You just take what you need and
leave the rest there. But I don't really know what
the etiquette is and those sort of things.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
It seems a really mean spirited way of running of
your life of your mate to take everything. I mean,
my major concern would be with those individual portions is
that they are an incredible environmental cro I'm all those
individual bits of plastic. It's terrible. They're rather bit off
just leaving a jar of marmalade. But that would be
my take. I wouldn't take them all because that's not
how I roll. No, you know, I mean, that's that

(38:18):
seems to be your mate. And obviously ultimately everyone takes everything.
The price of the motels go up, and you don't
see it so often these days.

Speaker 18 (38:26):
Yeah, we takes everything along with the soaps and the
shampoos and the shower gaps. He cleans out the whole thing,
and I'm going a lot of motels are probably struggling.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Trying to So what's something Greig? Is this mad yours?
What's his name? What's his first name?

Speaker 8 (38:39):
David?

Speaker 2 (38:40):
We'll call him Steve. Okay, is Steve sort of a
real happy, go lucky guy or a sort of a
bit of an obsessive, sort of a mean spirited guy.

Speaker 18 (38:49):
He's quite happy, but he's one of the guys who
tries to basically get ahead of everything and does a lot.
He's gone through Quoe a few jobs, and he's basically
like the influences on YouTube and stuff. He tries to
get everything without actually hardly working for it, and I
don't know what you call it to this, and he's
always trying new things and new jobs, and you're prepanned

(39:09):
out rather than sticking with something and basically putting your
head down and bump up.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
And sounds like a bludyer, Craig, It sounds like a bludger. Yeah,
don't be like Steve or Dave I threet what his
name was? The questions about the motel, said imask, that's
the question for tonight. Do do do do?

Speaker 7 (39:26):
Do?

Speaker 14 (39:26):
Do?

Speaker 11 (39:26):
Do do do?

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I love an imass, to have worn one for years.
I think what you're looking for is a balaclava, drop
three hundred on you nikes abroad, only for a motel
rat to claim them and my lucky undies as a nest.
I understand what you're saying about the mask, and you
want some coverage on your head as well. What I
do is we're an eyemask and or a beanie on
my head. Ah. Someone said blackout curtains are fatal. So

(39:51):
you questioned about shoes and motels. Do you think that's
mean spirited? This woman surely looks like she's not going back.
And your pet complaints about motels or are you a motelier?
All this is good stuff to talk about jumping. Have
you say Motelia? Yeah, I think they're fitting the cost
of living crunch out and they're not cheap anymore. They've

(40:12):
seemed to have gone up quite a lot in the
last couple of years, haven't. They don't know what's going
on there? Be in touch if you want to talk.
Lines are free, free and easy. Get in touch if
you want to talk. Sixteen past nine, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two to text.
You got something to say, now is the time to
say it. British Airways used to give us sleeping masks. Yes,

(40:34):
I think quite a lot of the people that flew
at the front of the plane will get sleeping masks.
They went for a good quality. It seems I hate
to say this, but it seems if you go and
get the high end one to look online for sleeping masks,
the good ones are setin not Stettin, setin Marcus. I've
traveled a lot. I take my own pillow to the
motels as I was staying for the one night, I

(40:54):
hide at my bag so that I'm not embarrassed. I've
taken my own pillow. The best sleep possible with your
own pillow, Marcus. I've got a brother in law who's
got fifty p's of the headphones that you have on planes.
He takes them every time me flies. Anyway, I'd travel
for work every third week, and I stripped the disposables.
It's really your fault, Marcus. After a reward winning coverage

(41:16):
of disasters and motors getting trapped in their cars during
flooding and cyclones, or what use is oat milk and
shampoo going to be for you? Fancy blaming me? Get
in touch, Marcus, till twelve lines free. What do you got?
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty on nine two nine
two text? Maybe the motel you? I don't know what

(41:36):
the cost of all those things are. Does seem mean
spirited to me? I think that's why you've got to
have those stupid kind of plunging soaps now, because those
scared people are going to take the other stuff. Although
and I won't confess to that, that won't go down well.
And hats people back on about hats? You want to
talk about hats and where to wear them? Get in
touch eighteen past nine oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty

(42:01):
regarding wearing footwear in the motel. Yeah, all footwear, all
outdoor footwear, should be taken. If you were a beanie
to beard, you may as well go full hog and
put the bush shirt on. A ha ha. I would
say that isn't all footwear outdoor footwear. I don't think
I've got footwear that's particularly indoor footwear, although I think
mainly I normally I take it off. I think at
a motel, I don't know, read the room, literally, read

(42:23):
the room. I like wearing a hats practically everywhere, However,
take them off at restaurants from there, Well, it's always
hard if you take that hat off, because you can't
leave them on the table. We know that's wrong, but
then you walk out and you forget them.

Speaker 12 (42:37):
Now.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I've never owned a pair of slippers. I don't think
i'd be a slippers guy. I am, yeah, I've got yeah,
I Marcus. I think you're aware that maners in respect
are shown by the removal of a hat and doors.
You choose to wear a hat pretty much on everywhere. Unfortunately,

(43:01):
this simple act and other display of manners and respect
have become lost through the generations. It is a shame
that the young ones they are not given the opportunity
to live their lives with their values held by their elders.
Please explain why you choose to wear a hat inside
asking out of interest? Thanks Dave in my seventies. Well
then I'll just explained that quite straightforward. If you're taking off,
you lose it. So yeah, I've got no problem wearing

(43:23):
it inside because it makes no sense to me not to.
So yeah, And I certainly don't think that I am
disrespectful or rude or lack respect of the elderly. I
think more it shows that people are stuck in their ways.
Things change and people need to be okay about that.
Not everyone wears hats, So yeah. So I appreciate your text,

(43:46):
but I don't think I owe you an explanations, although
there I am trying to explain stuff to you that's
out of courtesy. Marcus Ivan, I'm asked from ten or
twelve dollars bluetooth speakers. Wow, my wife reads win Win Winter.
I have two spears just in case. What does that mean?
Ye oh wait? Tatterd eighties had your nine nine to text?

(44:12):
If you want to come through the email that started
the show was someone and I'll read that again because
I'm looking forward to your response about this, Right, Marcus,
let me start by saying, I think it's wrong to
boil your socks underwear in a motel kettle. But here
is the appropriate time and danger for drawing those items
in the microwave. One to two minutes for your underpants,

(44:33):
two to three minutes for your socks. Brilliant. Oh the email,
Hi Marcus. The last couple of months I've said at
two different motels, both saying on a notice on the door,
please take your shoes off. I was like wondering what
the list is think I personally think it's not re accommodating.
Is it not accommodating? That's the question I'm asking you

(44:54):
tonight twenty four past nine. Also talking about the golf
course at Pegasus that's going to become seventeen hundred houses.
Talking to a Bricky earlier, there's something ilse want to
mention tonight to jumping. Have you say you might have
remembered the village people memory from last night? There weren't many,

(45:15):
which is fine, but I certainly heard it played a
lot on the radio today. Jeepers was there any radio
show that didn't play the village people. Peter's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 19 (45:27):
It's beautiful day to day, won't weather wise?

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Weren't they perfect?

Speaker 20 (45:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (45:31):
Perfect? Good?

Speaker 19 (45:32):
Are you reging taking your shoes off in the motels?
I reckon, that's fair enough. You don't know where people
go and that, and you're got a motel, and then
I wouldn't want to leave them outside. They probably get nicked.
But they have a little like a little tile area
in the front of your behind the door once you
get in. I reckon, that's nice, And I actually feel

(45:52):
better because I know this is the motel. That's you know,
it's a less chance of maybe you know, getting something
or picking something up. You don't know what people are
doing motels. Maybe that's a good Iran Leicester, a good
nice common.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Rules me that you were of the thought that people
would steal your shoes peep. I don't know if that
would happen.

Speaker 19 (46:11):
I guarantee it would. I've been It does happen at
open homes. I used to be in real estate too, Hang.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
On, were you were real We are a real estate agent.

Speaker 19 (46:21):
I used to be three years ago.

Speaker 7 (46:22):
Now it's choking.

Speaker 19 (46:24):
Yeah, not much. I haven't done Mark, because I'm telling you, if.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
You kept that close to you, that's probably that's a
that's a mic drop moment for me.

Speaker 15 (46:32):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
And hang on, Pete, did you did you sell anything?

Speaker 19 (46:37):
Well, I'd give it two goals. The first time I
didn't do tod I used to be involved engineering and
stuff like that and came over seas. The first time
I didn't do too bad. I sold three hours in
six weeks.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
It wasn't bad, oh, because you're persistent and your dogged.

Speaker 19 (46:52):
And then then in the next place, I went through
it a bit of a run. And there the principal,
they just thought I did at job for who? And
I lost the key and trying to spend the bed
an hour after the open home and find the key,
and I did my best to locate it, and I
should have wrung on it that Sunday, but I had
another kid to get in the back door. And then
she told me to come on the office that next day.

(47:13):
In the Monday, she told me to pick up my
gey and leave open home. She creep pretty rufless industry marks.
I'm telling you, Wow, I've.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Never known anyone to get sick from real estate yeap.

Speaker 19 (47:24):
She was like, she said, it was an open home.
It was open. We went to the appraise and went
through with the team. She said, it's will sale. I
went to an open home and for her another one,
and she said, So I was at this open home
and I said to this lady, I said, I got
another just came up. I met her around there about
another house time after this open home, and I'll show
you through, said this is what I didn't meet it there,

(47:45):
And then somehow that keywent missing. I still reckoned till
this day. I know what happened. At the end of
the day. The key, I'm human, you're we're all human beings.
Which the key with house pete a house that I
was selling. The house it was the.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
First house or the second house.

Speaker 19 (48:00):
Oh the house after that open home that I just held.
And then I went to this open home for it
was for sale. Was no signs up, but I was
for sale that the team could go through and sell
it for the for the seller, of course. And the
next minute Chesa said to me, she sent me in
the in the office. I won't mention any names, and
I got raped. She said, I'll come in the office,
and then she did pick up your gears and go.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
The wouldn't be much gear to pick up in real estate.
But what was she accoosing? You of losing the key?

Speaker 19 (48:28):
Oh just if this and if you know, and I
thought she was meant to be a lady.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Was she given the effort that?

Speaker 7 (48:34):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (48:34):
Yeah? Just quite rude. Yeah, So after then I just
gave up. Or that's the sort of industry you're dealing with.
People like that you're doing.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
You'd be great at that, because you've got good people's skills,
but you'd be a great estate agent.

Speaker 19 (48:47):
Well, I sold three Houns the first time. I should
have stuck to it. Actually in the strif came up
more a lot more money, you know, guaranteed money, and
I just thought, wow, and don't take that side, chuck.
I should have stuck. They're not too bad A three
hours and six weeks.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
No, that's unbelievable. That's that's that's you're a super seller.

Speaker 7 (49:04):
I didn't.

Speaker 19 (49:05):
I don't know, I stuck it. I saw my brother's
house to him when I was there, And if.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
You sold him his own house, he's selling it. Yeah,
don't should on yourself, should have whatuld have caught a pete.
Thank you, just coming up to the headlines. If you
want to talk on here eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine nine to the text, he's not skinned of
talking here, Pete be great. Yeah, have you ever thought
it'd been a motel you peepe?

Speaker 19 (49:29):
Oh no, that's long hours. I'm just going back about
the shoes and also be about to.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Dug I've moved on Pete.

Speaker 19 (49:34):
Oh, that's a right, I know. But the jug, I SI,
that's disgusting. And rules of rules, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Not to most people.

Speaker 21 (49:41):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
I don't know there's rules about what you can and
can't do with the jug.

Speaker 19 (49:45):
No, they should have. There's trouble as some people that
sort of don't think that's it.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
That's in the quiz. I guess it's already fancy that.
Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome. We're talking
about motels and should you be able to wear your
shoes inside? Yeah, and then motels in general they can
be quite rulety places. I wait Trent eighty Tenadian nineteen

(50:13):
nine to text the more than me or anything else.
You've got up there for it up here for it,
up there for it, up here for you input tonight.
And why are people so obsessed about hats and where
you can wear a hat. The younger generation quite rightly
wear their hats everywhere as they should be able to,
because I think what happens if something is illogical, people

(50:36):
sort of lack adherence to it. Oh wait te at
eight ten Eightian nineteen ninetext mark is still twelve. There
we go. I've got a silk eye mask fits lousy,
but the fabric is nice. Also have a polyester I'm
us for it is amazing. Fabric is unpleasant. This one
is my preference. I cannot find the correct combination. You

(50:56):
go online. I think things like golf course of re
importance as they soak up rainwater. Yes, that's what will happen.
Lend that pegasustle flood probably Marcus motels and hotels. I
always rinse and ball the jug a few times. You
never know what's been in there. Thanks for the microwave
drying times. I always get it wrong. End up with
crispy nickers. That's from Kate. And there we go. Let's

(51:20):
take a pause as I await your calls tonight. People
four ball me up, me up, tell me what you've got.
We are on about the motels and shoes and Wow,
I still don't quite know what happened to Pete with
the real estate job. I'm so excited that it was
new material with then good work at what it was about.
Any who, anything else you want to mention? Has that

(51:41):
World Cup going? England through again? Final sixteen? United States?
The first time they've won three matches in a tournament.
Fill good? We live in inspired times. What a great tournament?
Oh wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two
nine two to text, Yeah, yeh yeh yeh ye ye yeah,

(52:01):
looking for you? Who's looking forward to the rugby on Saturday?
You're looking forward to that? To Carr's first test. I
just wonder if anyone can let me know what time
I can tune into the rugby without having to watch
Joey Wheeler. He's the room clearer for me. Were the
inentities from the crowd? Don't if anyone else has a
problem with that, Probably should have said that, Probably get

(52:22):
in trouble. Oh wait, we're talking about shoes hat, masks,
shoes hit and my masks. So what about tonight, Barb,
it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 22 (52:34):
I just want to ring and tell you can get
the black eye mass from the Kemma's my daughter in law.
She buys them all the time.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Does she lose them? Now?

Speaker 22 (52:44):
She buys I mass because she she likes to have
I masks on to sleep at night. So that's where
she gets them from the Keema shop. Does she need Oh? Well,
I suppose. I don't know, because the dogs get them
all the time. So every time I go to their place,
I see them around quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
The dogs were an ee mask.

Speaker 23 (53:09):
No, they just.

Speaker 22 (53:12):
You know, pull them to pieces. Yeah, so that's where
you get them from. Anyway, these I masks and there
she likes them because she can't sleep either, and she
likes black her eyes out.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Well, I think if she can sleep. I just think,
if you want to make yourself your room light proof,
you can either get blackout curtains or an eye mask.
And tell you what, the I masks a hicko easier.
I'm sure that blackout curtains are a lot of theffing
around Jerriett's Marcus.

Speaker 15 (53:39):
Good evening, Yeah, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Jerry real good? Thank you?

Speaker 15 (53:45):
Yeah? Good? Right?

Speaker 10 (53:46):
Now?

Speaker 15 (53:46):
Never wear you he the horsy because that's a sign
of respect.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
But how's that working out for the r s a Jerry.

Speaker 15 (53:54):
Well, it works out well, but I often forget to
take my head off and I'll get grown it straight away.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
But they're all going broke, aren't they.

Speaker 15 (54:03):
Oh yeah, I love them.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
It's all free. Well, it's all very well. Very no,
it's all very well having a hardcore head policy. But
if no one wants to turn up, then there you
are in trouble, and a lot of it aren't.

Speaker 15 (54:17):
You'll get the same as being charged. Walk into the
room where you're getting charged in the army and you
get dug yead off.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
Yeah, I'm familiar with that, Jerry. Thank you, Stevie Marcus,
welcome an I Stevie?

Speaker 24 (54:36):
Hey, you know you magius? Here are you?

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Yeah? God, thank you to cooler. You're doing well. You
come on, you got your radio off. That's better than
a lot. That's great.

Speaker 24 (54:46):
You don't argue as much as you used to all
the time. We have done the shoes. I'm gonna I've
got a computer read means taking up my front door
down a week ago. And the people going around me talking,
they're looking on front door stats to like Tom, they're
see your shoes and a woman trumming in.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Bresident That's pretty bad, isn't it. How do you know
you just hadn't misplaced them?

Speaker 7 (55:10):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Well, if my Stevie, if I went out the front
door on my red bands weren't there, I would just
imagine I've forgotten where i'd pop them. I'll tell you
what I do think about with red bands? How much
would they cost to make? With that rubber good? Tell
you what they've got up in price. They've just about doubled.
The papakuda Risa is soon to be a courthouse. Wow,

(55:36):
get in touched Marcus till twelve. Someone said totally right
about Joey Wheeler, Marcus a big goofygua fouring lightweight. Well, yeah,
and I've got to be careful because not all broadcast.
I'm sure there's plenty of people I don't appeal to
as well. But he's just not my cup of tea
drives me, doesn't pear to be listening to anyone I
suppose about me anyway, That's my take. But yeah, I

(56:01):
mean they must like it for something. Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know what we've done to
I mean, there's no Maddy John's I don't know what
we're doing to have him thrust upon us. Was he
a good rugby player? Was he an All black? Sure
he was an all black? They wouldn't put him up
there if it is he was an all black? Would
they anyway get in touch? Marcus till twelve oh, eight
hundred and eight, we're talking, I maasks hats and taking

(56:23):
off your shoes. I made the mistake of my red bands.
I folded them down. I thought they looked good folded down,
but they didn't look good folded down, and then they
split around the fold. So now I've got those lace
up gum boots. But I just wear them like red

(56:45):
bands and never bother lacing them up. I was on
the farm today doing that during the lap of honor.
I expected lambs, but they'll be here soon. There's none
here just yet. But I thought, yep, I'll get some
shots for you normally in July. Anyway, being touched hit
till twelve eighteen to ten. I just was oiling my
oilskin during the break. What are the most over most

(57:08):
underrated items of clothing would be an oilskin vest with
pockets always good when you find some of one of
the back of the cheese. You even warned for a while,
jeep A screeps. I'll give it a bit of a
is yours up? Get in touch if you want to talk, Pete.
It's Marcus.

Speaker 25 (57:20):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus Motels. I've had the fortune
of traveling around motels in every different location over the
last forty two years, representing a club, fishing club in

(57:41):
town and getting way to the agms and everything. And
I've got nothing but praise for these motel owners and
that they work bloody long hours.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Lot, real long hours, real.

Speaker 25 (57:54):
Long hours, and they're there for people that come in
late or miss flights and stuff like that. And they
always seem to be up early the next morning to
give you a cook breakfast and stuff like that. So
I've just got nothing but praise from one end of
the country to the other. I think we're extremely lucky
with the caliber of hoteliers that we've got here. Really yeah,

(58:18):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
And they're always good if you leave your charge you
I'm always leaving my watch. They're always good at returning them.

Speaker 25 (58:24):
Oh absolutely, they follow that up and they're very good
at it. But I'm with you on this other thing
about the comments people at rugby and stuff I've had.
It's been a boner contention for me for a long time.
And it's not just me. Something are free to share
it as well, and I'm quite tough to hear that

(58:45):
you it dugs you as well. But I get set
up with when Goldie Wilson was taking the commentary, it
was great, but there they've got that Kirsty stand by
and there at Taylor McDonald. Their voices screech. They're not
good broadcasting voices. They really screech, and I think so

(59:06):
fortunate for Scott.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
Yeah, I've got no complaints about the commentary itself. I
just find some of their comments packages from time to
time a little bit. I guess they're going for entertain
I guess they. I guess they're trying to make it
sort of a broad appeally entertaining. But for me, yeah,
it's it's not it's not for me. I think all
the commentary has always been for every good. I think

(59:29):
even you even got used to on Marsha even he's
all right. After a while you get used to him.
But yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I've done I think they've
done well with the whole commentary. But get in touch
if you want to through away from in Mexic's Marcus
Good Evening, Oh.

Speaker 14 (59:46):
High, Marcus. I was just listening to people talking about
the imasks for when you're sleep, and this is a
true story, and there's a little bit of a warning
in it. I just start to ring up and mention
it so that nobody gets caught out. Really, I had
a very good close friend, very well new, very well known,
new cylinder and I'm not going to tell you who

(01:00:09):
he is for privacy reasons, but he well, he was
entertaining and because he was doing a lot of late nights,
he would sleep during the day. So somebody made him
a imask, and they did it with good intentions. It
was made of leather and it was dyed with some
sort of probably shoe dye or some sort of a dye,

(01:00:32):
and it was dyed black. It did work really well.
It helped him to sleep during the day. But and
he showed me it, and he was quite pleased with
this thing that this other person had made. And what
he ended up happening, this was rubbing on the side
of his nose while he was sleeping, and after a
while he developed he didn't realize he developed like a

(01:00:56):
little pink lesion on the side of his nose, and
he told me, you know, I'm concerned about that. He
went to the doctor. It was cancerous. So they did
operate got rid of it, or they thought they had
got rid of it. But it clearly, you know that
these things happened, and they didn't get rid of all

(01:01:19):
of it. Now that traveled up to his frontal lobe,
and if they cancer it into his brain and he
was operated on on his brain. He came out of
the operation, lived for about another three months, and then
he passed away. It got right through his brain. Now
that all started with an imask with somebody you know

(01:01:43):
who made it with good intentions. So I just sort
of felt to ring up and say, hey, be careful
if you're wearing imask. I would imagine, you know, if
it's cotton or some other product, but I would be
very careful about something like that, and it rubbing against

(01:02:04):
his skin and causing a problem. That is a true story,
and unfortunately we lost them as a result of that.
Sure mmmmm, but you know, I mean, I'm not an
expert on cotton or fabrics, and I'm not recommending, you know,
but I would say, you know, if you can, how would.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
How would people with glasses and stuff work?

Speaker 14 (01:02:30):
Well, I guess when they're sleeping, they take the glasses off,
don't they.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
But but they'd be wearing them all day if it's
just rubbing.

Speaker 14 (01:02:39):
Yeah, I know. The airlines quite often give out, you
know that when you're doing long distance travel, they quite
often give you a complimentary I'm asked where to sleep
on the plane. I guess that's quite safe, you know,
But I would say, would have to be a soft material,
not certainly, not a hard leather material that would rub

(01:03:02):
against your skin and cause a problem. So just just
a little story. But you know, I just felt like
I really should bring up and mention this so people know,
you know, people are warned, you know, don't get caught
out like my friend, because it really did cost them as.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Life Max, thanks so much. Nine to ten, It'll twelve
seven away from ten Marcus till midnight, Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty and nine two nine to the texts
get a lot of texts about hat etiquette, although I
think it's pretty safe to say that hat etiquette is
completely changed, that we you can and count wear hats obviously,

(01:03:42):
too so, but thanks for the text. Keep those going
and shoes and motels. Get in touch if you want
to talk anything else you want to come through with, oh,
eight hundred, I'll take one call quickly before the news
would be ideal, and then we'll work out we're going
to talk for the next two hours. By the way,
haven't did much about the French team. I think the

(01:04:03):
French team are staying in the Gold Coast, so I
don't even here, which is the ultimate snub to the
South Island. You'd think, I don't know what to say
about that, but get in touch if you want to
talk on air is I'll take all that guy. What
that guy said about the face of Bass, certainly with
a grain of salt, seems to be like an internet
conspiracy for what I've looked at. Just so you know now,

(01:04:24):
anything else you want to talk about, come quickly through.
Karl Stefanovic has broken down in tears talking to well
talking on a podcast. Goodness, gracious me, everyone's so thin skinned,
doren't they? Wow? Piers Morgan, I think he was talking
to So be in touch if you want to talk
quickly before the news, before I make my cup of coffee.

(01:04:47):
And I'm just trying to see if there's any other
world news, because we've got the American two fifty years
in two days. Although that's a bit of a damp squib.
I think Russia seems to be attacking Kiev. Seventeen people
there have died. There's a massive drone and missile attack.
I think the German coach has told England, let the

(01:05:08):
children watch. We'll be going to kick off at one
in the morning. The head coach has urged parents to
write an excuse for school so kids can see his
team's World Cup last sixteen game against Mexico. So Mexico
the host. So that'll be in Mexico City at the
Grand Stadium that seats eighty thousand people thereabouts. There will
be an extraordinary match. They might be peaking at the

(01:05:31):
right time. The Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, that's where
Maradonna scored his hand of goal hand of God goal
against England forty years ago in the nineteen eighty six
World Cup. So the nine eighty six World Cup must
have all been in Mexico City, if I got that right.
I'm finding this interesting. All of it's interesting. With the
World Cup so this is revenge. He was all in Mexico,

(01:05:57):
twelve cities and twelve stadiums, and it says here that
stadium in the Esti Estadio Esteca had a capacity of
one hundred and sixteen thousand people. Yeah, so good luck England.
I don't know when it's on, but I'm excited about it,
very excited about it. That's coming up. According to TVNS

(01:06:17):
in US tonight, the French team are in christ Church.
Got there just after midnight last night. Thank you for that.
So they are here. That's slightly more respectful. Headle twelve,
I've got to talk good evening all footboard me. Oh gee,
I've got six more seconds Monday midday our time, great
time for us. Oh, I have to get the package.

(01:06:37):
So I've asked chat GPT about hats because people need
to know this, because I'm sick of the hate I'm
getting on the texts. Wearing hats indoors has become socially
acceptable because modern fashion favors casual individual expression over rigid

(01:06:58):
historical traditions. Additionally, there is no practical reasons for the rule,
like keeping out street dust or signaling peaceful intent no
longer relevant. While hats themselves are involved into everyday accessories
for comfort, bad hair days, and personal branding. Here's a
quick look at why the shift happened. Practical orange origins

(01:07:20):
have faded historically, Removing a hat and doors prevented the
dust sort and dirt you're collecked on the street from
transferring onto furniture. Men also took off their hats to
show vulnerability and peaceful intent. So you're not coming to
kill someone, you take your hat off, your helmet, or
your suit of armor. Casual street where has largely replaced

(01:07:40):
formal dress codes. Baseball Captain beanies are now functional accessories
for bad hair days, managing sun exposure, or hiding hair
regrowth from treatments, and the line between indoor and outdoor
spaces is much more blurred. While strict formal guidelines still exist,
most public environments have adopted a much more relaxed individual

(01:08:03):
approach to dress codes. So yes, thee you go, I
would remove my hat for church, for council meeting from
it eye and probably ah, yeah, another sort of meeting
I go. So I got told off wearing a hat,
but that's neither here nor there anyway. That's me and

(01:08:27):
I'm okay with that, but so we're talking about hats
and shoes. We're talking hat shoes and eye masks. Actually,
I've loved it, and the fact that we learned that
Pete used to be a real estate agent and a
month of Sundays I never would have guessed that. So
an email started the show by someone saying, Shirley Shurly

(01:08:47):
as in the Billy Brag song. Hey marks the last
couple of months, I've stayed at two different motels, both
saying on a notice on the door, please take your
shoes off. I was like wondering what the listeners think.
I personally think it's not re accommodating, and we've spoken
to metellias and all sorts of people. It's about practicality.
But what you don't want to do as a metellia

(01:09:08):
is have too many signs because people don't like signs.
Because you want to be in a hotel, you want
to feel like it like it's your house, and then
your house. There's not signs everywhere. It's not relaxing. If
there's signs, it makes it feel like it's a hospital
ward or a school classroom. I'm not a big fan
of signs, so I think it's what all I've got
to say about motelias. So if you're a motelia, what's

(01:09:31):
the job like and what's the worst thing about it? Yes,
and what's your feeling? People? If you just rerigged punters
about shoes and about hats. I guess it's probably fair
to say that we as a culture and a nation
have become a lot more flexible with taking our shoes off.
But there, and again, shoes are a lot easier to

(01:09:53):
take off these days when you've got your rim Williams
boots and your crocs and your what are those sandals
that have got the cork and the flippy bits that
the Germans wear? One's got those, They shove them on
and off if one seems to wear those now stirkin
box or whatever they are. But yeah, that's the situation.

(01:10:13):
So what we are talking about. Do you want to
start this whole whole hour up with your wisdom or
there might be something entirely different you want to start
it with. I mean, I do him my best, but
jeepest creepers. This show can be hungry for topics. So
there's something else you want to mention tonight? I'll wait
one hundred and eighty today. I'll tell you what I
have watched online. A lot of those videos of people

(01:10:34):
making hats, hat makers making cowboy hats and stuff. I've
watched those videos. I think jeepest creepers. Boy, that looks easy.
You ever thought that it's like the world's easiest job.
You just check it on a block of wood, then
just score it around the edge and chop at you. Anyway,
Come on, who wants to start the whole ball rolling people?
You might be doing something interesting, you might be out driving,

(01:10:55):
you might have a different topic to talk about. You
might want to talk about England at the World Cup.
I feel I've managed to sustain that first two hours.
I feel that my job is nearly over for tonight.
Come on, and imasks. Where would you get your best
im mask from? Oh, you're good on your peanut finger.
I hate a sign. I went to a small pathology

(01:11:17):
clinic the other day for a blood test. I counted
forty two signs in the waiting room. No one wants
signs everywhere. It just makes us tense. I'm opposed to
a lot of signs and places. This is they're also
someone with a printer and a Lemonador making signs all
the time. Can't bear them. She might be a pet
hate of mine signs. But I hope it went wealth

(01:11:41):
for your pinut thing. I'm not happy to hear that
you've been to a pathology clinic if that was a
bad thing. Marcus, you'll be pleased to know the majority
of golf clubs these days of our hats to be
worn in the clubrooms. Once upon a time it was
a compulsory shout at the bar. Even us. Old stories
are moving with the times, lots of young people playing golf. Steve,

(01:12:01):
now it's said stories. I think you might mean old
stogies or old fogies. Maybe you mean stories. Marcus often
wear a hat, but I really justlike baseball cabs and
I find it strange and knowing that people leave stickers
on them. Oh, someone says, so you would remove your
hat for council meeting but not in the RSA. No,

(01:12:21):
I didn't say I wouldn't remove my hat in the RSA.
But I probably wouldn't go to an RSA because they're
so obsessed about hats and have made themselves to be
such a hostile environment with their dress codes and their
obsession with enforcing them, but that's their gig. But yeah,
it's just that I think what's happened as people have
decided that have people have invited with their feet I

(01:12:48):
get in touch. You want to talk on about fifteen
past ten, eight hundred and eighty today Monday, midday, Mexico England.
For a lot of US, I guess that's the team
we support. Our second team would be England, although to
be fair, I haven't actually got that passed yet to
watch the games, but I don't think that would be
free to where. I think I'll have to do that
or be somewhere where it's on a bar. I'm looking
at Darcy online having his first bar bear since his

(01:13:11):
knee replacement. Is he still away from workdown looks like
he's going all right. He's free, performative, sort of a
post good on your Darcy. So he's enjoying it. First
beer since knee replacement, and it seems to be have
odd sort of a beer because the whole lits come
off it. I've never seen one of those before, Marcus.
I always take a pair of jandles to motels and
hotels through on the carpet. I never have my bare

(01:13:33):
feet on the floor. Gee, people are kind of worried
about gyms, aren't they? Or varukas someone said, Michael Laws
joins New Zealand first, Has it been announced yet? I
think it was going to be announced tomorrow, isn't it.
I don't think there's been announcement yet. If Fish you
can see that and tell me about that, I think
he's going to announce it on his radio. What would

(01:13:54):
you call that? Is it a radio station on his
internet station? I don't want to disparage it, but I
don't know if you call it a radio station. I
don't even know what it is. You know what I'm
talking about. So yes, hats and imasks and shoes. Now,
if they're not the topics for you, then come in
with something else and motelias, come on seventeen past ten.

(01:14:20):
Let's be at your eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
get in touch, nineteen past ten. All the lines are free.
Feel free to contribute hats and shoes and imasks. But
that was the thing for me. Why get black out
curtains when the iemask will do the whole same damn thing.
Please tell Darcy it's dry July this month. I don't

(01:14:41):
think Darcy is the kind of guy that does dry July.
He's just been off the source for his operation, for
his hip or his knee. Good on them so well,
on Marcus, do you think Trump will do an extra
special YMCA dance at the fourth of July two fifty
years special in honor of the village guy singer kharking it.
I'm sure he will. I don't think you'll do the

(01:15:01):
arm letters, but I think he'll do it when he's
got his elbows close into his chest and do they
small little signals with his arms. We need to go
side by side. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump doesn't
insist on flags being at half masked. Also, by the way, too,
and it is the two fiftieth anniversary of the founding

(01:15:23):
of the United States. I don't actually know. I'm loathe
to admit I don't actually know. How can I explain
this elegantly? I don't fully know the actual history that
happened on the fourth of July. I presume it was
something that was sided. Maybe that's something that someone could
do and ring up and explain. But yes, all the

(01:15:44):
lines are free looking forty input about anything at all?
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty hats, So it seems
are the places you can't wear hats now? Is just
the RSA and them that I in the church, I
would think, and that's probably about right, I would think.
I can't imagine those places will change anytime soon. But
the motels and shoes, I'm curious about that, particularly if

(01:16:07):
you're a motel owner. I don't know how often you
have to replaced your garbett. Get in touch if you
want to talk about this or anything else. Now there's
a new flurry of topics you want thrown at you, beautiful.
What else can I tell you? Wimbledon's on at the moment,

(01:16:30):
State of Origin. Game three is Wednesday, eighth July at
ten oh five. The series is tied one all that's important.
I was have an argument with the kids about that.
And the All Blacks play France on Saturday in christ Church.
We've got a lot of matches with it on the
Nations actually, then Italy and Willington on the eleventh in

(01:16:50):
Ireland and Auckland on the eighteenth Dave Renie's first matches
in charge, and boy that goes bad, it will be
the end. If we lose either of those the country
will go into a further downward spiral, and even the
banks changing the monetary system or the interest rates is

(01:17:11):
not going to bring the country back up. But there
we go. Twenty two past ten, Emilyot's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:17:19):
Hi Marcus, so are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Thank you? Emily very good.

Speaker 26 (01:17:23):
I was talking about imasks. I've realized that you're speaking
about I'm asked to block out the light, not my master, yes,
your face.

Speaker 2 (01:17:32):
Yes. And I don't know what's the difference. Are they
called different things?

Speaker 26 (01:17:36):
No, I think they're called the same thing. But one
you get less wrinkles than one. I guess you block
out the light.

Speaker 10 (01:17:43):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
Is it what they are for?

Speaker 10 (01:17:46):
What?

Speaker 26 (01:17:47):
Like the sleeping ones? Like the second second? Which one
are we talking about? I'm late, I'm no.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
No, because I've bring to the chemist to walk for
iyemasks and they think I've been worried about wrinkles rather
than about is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (01:18:02):
The chemist sells one the happy wrinkles, and then I
guess that's the I'm a place sees want to have
you a blacking.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Oh well no, I've just got black ones, and I
thought were for for nighttime, but they could well have
been for wrinkles.

Speaker 3 (01:18:15):
Perhaps they were.

Speaker 27 (01:18:16):
Were they set Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Well I thought I thought the seton one would be
because it's comfortable, and I mean, why would they be
black otherwise?

Speaker 26 (01:18:29):
No, you probably do have ones to help black out.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Well, I don't know now. Actually, I'm sort of embarrassed
to think that I've actually got gone to get ones.
They thought I'd been motivated by vanity.

Speaker 26 (01:18:40):
It's not a bad thing.

Speaker 11 (01:18:41):
I love them.

Speaker 26 (01:18:43):
When you stick the sticky ones too your face and
you wake up in the middle of night and you're
not quite sure what's happened.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
Oh no, they're supposed to stick them to your face.

Speaker 26 (01:18:51):
It's not the blackout ones, the beauty ones.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Are they adhesive? Are you okay? You blow my world
in me? Thank you. I've got no idea about that,
but thank you. Emily Dannet's Mark, good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
Gooday, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 28 (01:19:10):
You?

Speaker 25 (01:19:10):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
Plenty of hats where I've been tonight, actually, cowboy hats
and truckers caps at a bit of a country gig
tonight of young fellow called Zach Griffiths. Any good, so yeah,
really good. I would have the same sort of statue
as Brendan Dugan but way better music, great songwriter. It's
a young fellow from Nelson.

Speaker 19 (01:19:33):
Really good.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
Where was he performing at.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
It's an Aukland Big Fan, a little venue called Big
Fan that's actually owned by Joel Little.

Speaker 7 (01:19:44):
Producer.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
No good night. Yeah, but yeah. That's the only thing
with hats at a show like that is it's a
bit hard to see, you know, someone's standing in front
of you with a hat on. It can't be a
little bit of the way. But because you know there's
big cowboy hats, not much you can do about it, really, but.

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
They would They wouldn't be wearing cowboy hats to a
gig in Auckland, would they?

Speaker 8 (01:20:05):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Really well, I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
Have country it's huge and author mate, I.

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Know country is huge, but I didn't know that the
New Zealand country music supporters would wear hats like that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
Yeah, Truckers caps are pretty popular.

Speaker 2 (01:20:25):
In their book kept, but not Stitson's.

Speaker 3 (01:20:30):
You'd be surprised. If you get along to a Spark
Arena show, one of those big international touring country access
it's like you're in the sand Stadium downtown Nashville or something.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
How do you feel about that?

Speaker 7 (01:20:45):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:20:45):
Look, I love it? Mate, love love a bit of country.
I think most Keys love their country and and they're
they're proud to be able to say that they do
like country these days. I think it's been a bit
of a guilty pleasure in the past. And it's not
just people from the Deep South and Unbergagle or Gore
that I can enjoy a bit of country these days.
I think cities it's pretty popular as well.

Speaker 2 (01:21:05):
I've always thought Gore's we had an interesting relationship with
country music. I don't know that everyone loves that label
on them, but I'm always curious about that.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
Yeah, acent Het just on Motelion too, Marcus. I did
grabbing motels and yeah, it's a hard job. My old
man and my mum as well as you'd clean all
the units. I've been working seven days a week from
sort of six in the morning till eleven o'clock at night.
They did that for about ten years. I remember we

(01:21:36):
had a lot of reps come through and stay with us,
and one guy was the winds the winds man, and
he would turn up in a pretty flash car and
you'd give us kids wind stickers and take us for
a ride around the block. Because he had flashed car
horns and stuff, which is pretty cool. But another guy
used to come and stay with us with a guy
called Frank Flash.

Speaker 9 (01:21:56):
Do you remember him?

Speaker 2 (01:21:57):
Yeah, I do, vaguely, vaguely because.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
On what now I think back in the day, but yeah,
we had all sorts of come through, But it was
growing up in motel was a pretty interesting place as
a young kid.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
What is what people do with the motels? They seem
to buy them as that sort of inter stage before
they retire. Is that when you find yourself buying a motel.

Speaker 3 (01:22:21):
A look, I think back in the day it was
it was a young person's game. Maybe it still is,
but motels aren't what they used to be. I think
you've got the big sort of motor ins these days
at hotels have sort of taken their place. I think
of the yeah seventies and eighties in New Zealand, there
weren't too many hotels around it.

Speaker 9 (01:22:38):
It was all motels.

Speaker 2 (01:22:40):
Yeah, I've never picked it as a young person's game.
I've always picked as a retirees sort of a gig.
That's that's the vibe I've always had.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
Yeah, potentially, I guess my own parents are pretty young
when they were doing that. But you might be right
these days.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
And then you and then you get the business going
and you sell the whole thing in a profit. Is
that the way it works?

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
Yeah, well, look I think they are. Back then they
bought a little motel or the seven year at Tell
and wrote a ruhor in the seventies. I think they
bought it for something like seventy thousand dollars all up
and building everything, you know, a different time. But and
then they sold it for a small profit a few
years later, got a bigger motel and sort of traded

(01:23:22):
up and.

Speaker 19 (01:23:24):
Actually by the.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
End of sort of ten years that brought up a
few motels and sort of became lanimal.

Speaker 9 (01:23:28):
Its more than anything.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
But yeah, like there's two sides to it this. I
think moteli is just to own it all and run
it all, but now mostly sort of leasees. I think
that run it. But see it's good little business, but
it's bloody hard work. It is a seven day a
week sort of operation, and getting staff and stuff to
run them with the pretty hard these days, i'd imagine.
But you sort ofs do everything yourself, and you've got

(01:23:51):
to fix everything. And the old man used to get
up and cook the breakfast and bake and the eggs
in the morning. And if you'd get a complain, you
were like.

Speaker 19 (01:23:59):
Buddy cookie yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:24:02):
It's too much on his plate.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
So it just and no holidays. Godly it there, But
thanks so much for your call. Just coming to the
headlines a half ass ten if you want to talk
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty do you want to
text nine to nine two with you to a midnight
looking forward to your calls. I can't sam in love
with the idea that Doc's charging seems wrong to me
to pay for car parking right in the middle of nowhere.

(01:24:26):
I don't know why it seems wrong, because probably not.
I guess you'll do it all with payWave now seems Yeah,
it seems to mean spirited to me, but I guess
they are providing a facility that people want. You might
have a view about that. I must visiting this text.
Also read the Rugby Tikaha All Blacks versus the French.
They say keptain Ardie Severe running onto one stadium knowing

(01:24:47):
he was the lead reason getting rid of Razor Crusader
Country crowd reaction question mark, do you think that Ardie
Severe is going to get a tough reception, and I guess, well, look,
I don't know intimately, but I guess the discussion was
the fact that he's going to quit Rugby in this well,
I mean it's a paraphrase, it's I know what it
felt it down to me, isn't it? He was going

(01:25:08):
to leave Rugby unless raisor Robison went? Is that right?

Speaker 9 (01:25:12):
So?

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
Yeah, there could be some. There could be some. I
don't know. If you're going on Saturday, what do you
think of the sentiment of Ardie Sava being there? If
he's the reason that raises not Marcus? A while ago
you said you do a show sometime about corrugated fencing.
I did text a few months ago after you mentioned
it on a free for all topic note to see
if you'll discuss it. Never heard it mentioned though on
Listen your Most Nights Ever good Night, Thank you. I

(01:25:33):
can't remember that. But we're too about hats and shoes
and motels and motelias and imasks. Funny enough, there are
all the topics I've got for you so far to know.
If there's something else you want to mention yourself, do
come in? He signed everywhere? What about peanut finger saying
the pathology clinic forty two signs in the waiting room.
It's too much. We want nice, clean, calm places, not

(01:25:57):
words everywhere. But there we go. Let's be hearing from
If you do want to talk England versus Mexico on Monday,
if you want to comment on that, it's going to
be a that's going to be a charged match for
both countries. So there we have it. Some of the
other stuff you might want to mention, Well, where do
we start? Goodness, nineteen thirty eight electric trains came to

(01:26:20):
one intent for the first time. On this day in
history nineteen hundred, the Zeppelin takes off for the first
time hydroginal helium. There'd be the question, now, oh, that's
the other thing too that I was going to mention,
and I haven't. But there's a story from Britain that
so many bears, so many bars have gone broke, and

(01:26:43):
I presume that's because the Internet and cell phones and
people not going out to meet people at pubs because
of many people online. So the new thing in bars
is competitive socializing and that's x throwing darts, adult sized ballpits.
But one of the latest things in the UK, and

(01:27:03):
there's five of these things, and this might be something
if you are publicans Alcatraz an immersive bar experience set
in a prohibition era prison. So you go to the
pub and they put you in a cell and you
drink there on your own. You get to know your
neighboring cell mate, then you plan to escape. Gordon. It's

(01:27:26):
Marcus good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:27:28):
I just caught the tail end of that and had
a bit of a tottle. Yeah, ringing about the football.

Speaker 10 (01:27:34):
Sure, particularly about England. I have a couple of mates
who are England fans and I find them the most
boring team to watch, and every time they set foot
on the field, I want them to lose.

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
Well, really, I respect the.

Speaker 7 (01:27:56):
Fact that entertainment now it's.

Speaker 2 (01:27:58):
Not not for the English, it's about trying to win one.
I think you need to be as boring as you
can as long as you win.

Speaker 7 (01:28:07):
Well, I sort of I get your point, but I
want to be entertained when I watch any sport. I
think sport is an entertainment industry.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Yeah, I mean, I'm hearing you, but I mean the
other well, yeah, but.

Speaker 7 (01:28:33):
And I appreciate the fact that what you're saying about results,
but I sort of tend to disagree. I tend to
prefer to be entertained above. You know, to have football
played seat the other day, I figure what game it was.

(01:28:53):
It was the last pool game they wanted to against Panama. Yes,
there's a sport for the oldies these days called walking football.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
Yes, I'm familiar with that. I'm familiar with netball, but
I presume walking football is the same.

Speaker 7 (01:29:09):
Yep, for the real oldies. They were playing that at times,
you know, throughout the game. Honestly, for about three or
four minutes every now and then throughout the game they'd
play walking football and Panama. I would quite happy just
to know that. This was when the school was nilll

(01:29:32):
and this was around the halfway line sort of thing,
passing it from left to right, right to left, left
to right right to left along the backs. I mean
that to me is not football.

Speaker 2 (01:29:45):
I guess the question is, can you go the whole
way and win the World Cup with that style of
football when you come against up against Messi and Harland
and those sorts of players. I guess that's a question.

Speaker 7 (01:29:58):
See. The thing is that England had played boring football,
in my opinion, for about ever since Southgate took over
eight years ago, and I think there's a the whole
thing with the English and the English media particularly, they

(01:30:18):
pile so much pressure on the team when it comes
to the big tournaments. I just think they freak out
and just can't handle it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
So are you saying they're picking the players that play
boring football or they're picking the best and they're getting
them to play and they're getting those very good players
that can play really good football to play boring football.

Speaker 7 (01:30:40):
I believe there's an element of that. I believe that
the England team is full of talent right and has
been for many years, with the occasional drop in the
level if you like. But there have been several teams
in major tournaments over the last couple of decades that

(01:31:04):
have been packed with talent, but when it comes to
the crunch, they just don't put it, don't get it together.
You know. In to me, there has to be something,
you know, there has to be something to do with
what's between the years.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
You know, who wins the whole thing? Gordon?

Speaker 7 (01:31:28):
I yes to either France or Argentina again. I think
it will be that final again.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
You don't think a new you don't think a new.

Speaker 7 (01:31:39):
Team's I would like to see. Yeah, I would like
to see some other teams get there, but just the
way they're performing in they are teams that have shown
time and time again that they do know how to

(01:31:59):
play torn on football and they do step up every
step of the way.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
And that will get me right. That was That was
the last year finals for the last times finals. Franz
Argentina Argentina one penalty. That's right, isn't it. Yeah, it's
a pretty good match, it was.

Speaker 7 (01:32:13):
It was fantastic, some fantastic football play.

Speaker 2 (01:32:17):
Out of interest, Gordon, have you brought the pass to
watch it?

Speaker 7 (01:32:20):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
Works all right?

Speaker 7 (01:32:22):
Yeah, yeah great. It's simple as you know, you know,
just pepping. You can watch the game delayed or replayed
or whatever. You know, they're all there, all there for
you to watch. What your convenience.

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
Well, it should be good. And thanks so much. They're
twenty away from eleven money as Marcus welcome. Oh wait,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty. Thank you Craig for
your texts. Speaking of hats, Nick said on a show
A Friend with a fe his entry to winning Cafe
for Ringer Mega hat. Do people think it is over
the top? Or up to the business. How to choose who?
They say, Oh, it's plumb business and he can do

(01:32:57):
what he wants. Good on them. Twenty tweleven hitdle twelve.
You might want to talk about car parking at dock
they're going to charge. They're going to charge all around
the country. How dare they seventy away from a live
and Johnny AND's Marcus Good.

Speaker 7 (01:33:07):
Evening, Good evening.

Speaker 9 (01:33:10):
They just almost threw me. Yes, last night we had
roadworks going all nights and machines up and down in orange,
flashing lights everywhere to patch about two and a half
square meters of tarmac on our road, and they blocked
off all the roads around the around us, including our street.

(01:33:32):
They didn't do any work on our street, but yeah,
they had everything every canon. He's yelling out there and
all the all the lights and rumbling along. It was
a fire, rocking the doozers.

Speaker 2 (01:33:45):
Yes, you've been a sleepless night, have you?

Speaker 9 (01:33:48):
They got orange mess.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
If they did it during the daytime, everyone would complain,
wouldn't they.

Speaker 9 (01:33:56):
I used to work with them and it's it's a
great job. But I just I think it's overkilled as
some sort of new work safe thing. I've heard a
little bit of guff about current governments were slow seeing
a lot of that stuff up. I'm not seeing any
evidence of it. But having having built roads for a
little while not long driving a roller, I really enjoyed it.

(01:34:16):
But I just think what I saw last night was
completely preposterous. And but yeah, I appreciate them going out there,
and it's good to see young people out there. We
see Dave, can we move the cars off the burn
so you don't get tar and grevel? And they go,
don't worry, we're not doing any work on your street.
Its thirty vehicles in our street?

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Was it was the area as small as you said
it was.

Speaker 9 (01:34:39):
Yeah, yeah, we drove over to the neighbors. We've been
talking about it and yeah, uh startistically saying it is
a beautiful job they've done. But they've actually leaft like
max from metal trek machines all over the road and
sort of some more damage than good. But I'm not
going to say who did it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):
You're not you're not winding You're not winding the neighbors up,
are you, Johnny?

Speaker 9 (01:35:01):
No, no, no, no, it's hopefully some hight ring up
and save my skin. But you us three dents and
welcome Bay. We've a tupono. We've we've lived with cones
for months, months and months of the time and we
just sort of except now it's part of life. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
I can't really think of anywhere in the country that's
immune from road works. It seems to be happening everywhere.
It seems to be happening more often, and I can't
work out why. I think it's the heavier trucks.

Speaker 7 (01:35:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:35:29):
Yeah, I've got a couple of those. You mentioned about
the restaurant or the place that turned somebody awaycause their hat.
There's a place that turns people away if you can't
order handle being a Malti. It's a new one in
Rhode Bora heard the owner of the radio and wall
ago and they've opened a place up where they just
speak Maori language and all the everything on the menus

(01:35:50):
and molding and you have to have a go and
at least trying to order in molding. And that's just
the way it is. And I thought that's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
You know, well, you'd be pretty crazy if you went
there if you had a problem with it, wouldn't you.
You You just be a wind up artist. Good on you, Johnny.
Thanks good to hear from your twenty at fourteen from
eleven eight and eighty to eighty and who else wants
I am quite interested about the whole hat thing. Is
anyone really genuinely getting upset with people wearing hats inside?

(01:36:24):
Because I just thought that kind of ship had sailed
a long long time ago. And yeah, if you are
talking about hat etiquette, where should and you shouldn't wear
a hat? I mean, we know about the RSA because
they get so full on about it, but that's pretty
much it, isn't it. But yeah, if I mentioned that too,
and imasks and shoes and motels, that was the originally

(01:36:45):
email that got us going tonight. Someone who's been around
the country surely marks the last couple of months, I've
said at two different motels, both saying I'm not just
on the door, please take your shoes off. I was
like wondering what the listeners think? What do the listers think?
She says, I personally think it's not for accommodating. If

(01:37:05):
everything else is fine, I'm sure you'd be fine. But
shoes are made to be taken off more easily these days.
I mean, most people were in crocs. Most people are
dressing like teenagers or infants with crocs or sort of
shoes that slip on and off, ghastly things. That's my take.
If you're a tour there's for anything else tonight here
till twelve Oha eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

(01:37:26):
If you've got other topics, chuck them in the mix.
Of the World Cup, the football World Cup. I imagine
a few of you are watching it, oh in the
rugby on Saturday. What sort of receptions are TI save
going to get it to Kaha? I've got no idea,
but as the feeling in christ Juttion he was responsible
for Razor going or the Cantabrians. Now okay, with the
fact that Rais is gone, feels like it's years ago.

(01:37:49):
You've got a vibe on that I'd like to hear
from you. Twelve t eleven. It's ten away from eleven
with you till twelve o'clock time. Let me just tell
you who's I'm going to be on at midnight tonight
Lines Free if you've got to come through romance at twelve, yay,
and if you're talking before then. And the new thing
for drinking out is themed bars. I don't know if

(01:38:10):
they're a thing of the past or they're making a comeback.
There's like bars and ball pits and all sorts of things.
So the whole pub is on the way out. And
now it's kind of it's called competitive drinking, so they'll
be you know, like X throwing and stuff. Now there's
another one called Bully Bullisin, which is a bar promising

(01:38:31):
themed but promising lurid cocktails, bottom us brunches, and a
mirrored room full of plastic balls. Yeah, so it's all
about getting shots. For instance, sounds please, I don't drink.
It sounds ghastly. And there's a Coyote Ugly Saloon that's
big as well, and Camden of all places. So it
seems that people just don't want to go and drink.

(01:38:52):
They need a theme or something to kind of get
rid of their inhibitions. So there we go. So maybe
that's what's going to a country pub. It's going to
become a courty ugly bar or something along those lines.
Lines for if you want to talk with anything else
you want to talk about to night Marcus. A couple
of years ago we visited the Alamo in Texas and
Old Mission we're told to take our hats off. Seemed weird.

(01:39:13):
Marcus refusal to serve was all about wearing a cap inside.
It was that it said, Mega, that's right. I understood that.
But it's there. They don't want someone and they have
to have them in. Good on them. What's happening with
our police? Why are they leaving? I think all men
should remove their hats when indoors. He's unre opposed to that,
but I mean, there's not much you can do about it, Marcus,

(01:39:39):
now that you'll call it mentioned. I don't think there
as many cones around Auckland lately. Hope, I'm just not
imagining it.

Speaker 4 (01:39:45):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
I think probably Wat's name's done something about that. Wayne Brown. Anyway,
hold your horses with you soon seven from eleven five
to eleven David's Marcus, good evening, welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:39:55):
Ye.

Speaker 5 (01:39:56):
I've been enjoying the I've been enjoying the soccer.

Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
I don't think. I don't think England is so boring.
I think people are sort of down in England, but
it's just yeah, I don't know if they're so bored anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:40:07):
Tell you what, there's a lot of money running around there, Marcus.
There's over a billion dollars worth of players trotting around there.
And I see the prink shoes. I did see the
official name for them. It was something like Electric or
Crimson or something like that, prink football boots.

Speaker 8 (01:40:26):
I saw it on the news.

Speaker 5 (01:40:28):
But hey, Portugal, Apparently he's getting a nod from a
lot of people. From what I can gather now, David
Kirk I think was the predominant. INDI a few decision
maker on sacking the Razor. I don't think Hardie severe
Head much. I don't know. I don't know the full

(01:40:49):
bully on it, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:40:51):
But hey, you but you're a Cantabrian Arian. Are the
Canterbrian people?

Speaker 5 (01:40:57):
Have they have?

Speaker 2 (01:40:58):
They have they come to terms with the fact that
Raiser wasn't doing it. Here's a spin from ther.

Speaker 5 (01:41:05):
Hang on them and I because in our the feedback
that I've gotten the chats in the in the steam
room is that he wasn't given a fear go ed
more time. That's the.

Speaker 8 (01:41:21):
Take on that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
So you and the steam room are hoping the All
Blacks lose on Saturday.

Speaker 5 (01:41:26):
Oh, they're going to get a threshing in South Africa. Mate,
They're going to get it handed to them well and truly.
But the French don't travel. The French rugby team does
not travel. They're not good travelers. It's going to be
touched and go. I can't call it. It's going to
be close. But in South Africa they're going to get
absolutely threshing. Even the provincial teams are going to deal
to the all blacks. But hey, global phobia.

Speaker 9 (01:41:48):
Do you know what?

Speaker 5 (01:41:49):
That's a fear of glover phobia l b O, Yes, Globa.
I believe a phobia Globa, global phobia.

Speaker 2 (01:42:00):
Now I'd only go somewhere that to do with blood
or something. Now I can't.

Speaker 5 (01:42:05):
Well, I went a little more along the lines of
matt Atlas or globes or something like that. But it's
actually the fear of balloons.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
Oh goodness, that makes sense. Yeah, and they are frightening things.

Speaker 5 (01:42:18):
Yeah, they're squeaky, squeaky, and they when they pop a guess.
But hey, I bought off the team can opener And
you know, Marcus has never worked properly. It's never worked
from the way you or I or probably anyone else
out there used as a can opener, which is from
the top, you understand, So you're cutting down but then
I seen on some cooking program.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
Sorry Dave, that was an elegant I didn't get to
you before the end of the the end of the hour,
So what happened with your tim? Can I not watch you?
Perhaps you pay for like eight dollars?

Speaker 5 (01:42:50):
No, I wouldn't even be that, but it's one. It's
one of those meaning cranky. They're a good looking pair
of os, you know, for the old opening the can
because I don't like using the knife. Really your hand
cranky can opener. But hey, Marcus, can I put a
quickie in there? Would you pay? The part at the

(01:43:10):
Pruna Kayki with a pancake rocks and Pruna kak what
seemingly is public land.

Speaker 8 (01:43:17):
I think it's a bit rich, don't you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:19):
I can't quite were to listen to that during the
news with Jack can't work at what I mean, surely
the successful thing would be if less people were going.
I can't because they want to control the partner. I can't.
It makes no sense to me. I'm angry about it,
but that's I.

Speaker 8 (01:43:32):
Can't believe that.

Speaker 5 (01:43:33):
I'm fluming.

Speaker 8 (01:43:35):
Stide can't believe it either.

Speaker 5 (01:43:37):
When Pruna Kaki on the West coast around by Graymouth there, Denniston,
ways is no there's anyone there anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
You think how much those people are bringing to the
economy of that area with the spending, it just seems
it seems like it's all wrong to me.

Speaker 8 (01:43:56):
Mean spirited is how you generally put it.

Speaker 5 (01:43:59):
Now, quickly, I've got to get us one and two,
the name of which cheese is also a small house. Anyway,
get onto my hand cranked temu. That never worked properly
until I seen on the show on another program, a
copy show, where they use them not cutting down in
other words, so they're sitting up right at.

Speaker 8 (01:44:21):
Vertically. You use them horizontally, so.

Speaker 5 (01:44:23):
You're cutting the side of the tin.

Speaker 8 (01:44:24):
And I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (01:44:25):
They whip whip the whole lid off in no time.
So that is they hold them horizontally, not a vertically.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
Hard to visualize. David, thanks very much about ten past eleven.
Final hour for me. People, if you've got anything at
all you want to talk about in this final we've
talked about shoes and motels, but I think probably is
a country. I think once upon a time you'd always
wear your shoes inside. Now more often than not, you
just check out the vibe if you took the shoes
or not, wouldn't you? I don't know where I am
with that one. So it's about shoes and sides and

(01:44:57):
hats inside. I mean, it's practical not to wear shoes inside.
Hats is just there's just old fashion to me. So
we are talking about that and car parking at DOC
and also too, And I haven't asked this of anyone,
and I'm grateful for the texts that came through. If
you're a Cantabrian, are you looking forward to the All

(01:45:17):
Blacks winning on Saturday? What's your vibe about that? If
you had time enough to think and decided and believe
the spin that Razor was wrong, come on, get in touch,
cottage cheese boy, all accounts is the answer to that question.
Oh wait, one hundred and eighty today, all the lines
are free right through it to midnight. If you've got
any topic you want to talk about, we'd love to
hear from it. Now's your chance, Marcus. I'd like to

(01:45:39):
know if the half million dollars dock made on the
dock parks for actual parking fees or parking fines. I
parked at Puna Khaki just after noon you paid my
ten dollars. I think it was it was raining. I
was late back to the car next week, email in
a phot of my car eighty bucks and preparation for
the trip. I'd gone on to Google Earth to see
what the parking was like and traveled through where I

(01:46:00):
visually parked and there was no signs about paid parking.
That's happening to tonight and you might want to talk
about the village people before the end too, O eight
Tenadian nineteen ninety to text. Do you want to come
through Johns Marcus? Good evening?

Speaker 23 (01:46:13):
Oh, hi Marcus. I just want to warn the people
of christ Church. Christ Church about plumbers. There's some plumbers
out there who fill all the books and are not truthful,
fiddle all the books. They're not truthful and they're not reliable.

(01:46:38):
These plumbers charge up to two hundred dollars extra for
a visit. And I've had a bad experience with plumbers
in the Addington area.

Speaker 2 (01:46:51):
What did you get.

Speaker 23 (01:46:54):
By the Addington Raceway?

Speaker 9 (01:46:57):
Raceway?

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Sorry, what did you get done?

Speaker 23 (01:47:01):
Oh? I've got a couple of taps fixed a share
and they come to five hundred and fifty seven dollars.
Then they come back the next day and charge me
next to two hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
How long were they there for on that day, John, Well,
I was.

Speaker 23 (01:47:23):
There for about half an hour on the first occasion,
and the second occasion on the next day, they are
there for approximately five minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
Really talk off, Okay, appreciate your call, John, Maybe some
other Yeah. I mean there's avenues you can go to
with tradees, but things are expensive now. The early rate's expensive.
But I can't comment on that because I don't know.
But maybe someone else can talk about plumbing costs. Thank you, John.
Pulling it to Marcus good evening.

Speaker 29 (01:47:55):
Hello, Marcus France versus New Zealand and christ Church. Isn't
it yes? Isn't it Okay? I feel France will win,
but secretly I'm hoping that New Zealand one, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
But you know the backstory to it, don't you? That
christ Church people, because the christ Chich people were so
adamant that Raiser Robinson should be the coach, and he
became the coach. It didn't work out, So I just
because he was their man, because he made the Crusaders
win so many years in a row. So that's really
So that's where That's where I'm curious to know how
the christ Church people feel about that.

Speaker 29 (01:48:33):
That's right, he did too, and I'd forgotten all about that.
Doesn't take long too, No, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:48:39):
I'm sure the christ Church people. I just one of
the christ Chiach people. They're so proud about their new stadium,
but they were so proud about Raiser Robinson. So I
wonder where they are with that. If they're excited or upset.

Speaker 29 (01:48:51):
They will have forgotten him, just as I have.

Speaker 2 (01:48:53):
No I'm are you? Are you Canterbury?

Speaker 16 (01:48:57):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
Why would you be supporting France?

Speaker 11 (01:49:00):
Though?

Speaker 29 (01:49:00):
Just to be different? But secretly, secretly I'm hoping that
New Zealand win.

Speaker 2 (01:49:07):
Okay, thank you, Pauline. I'm from christ Church. I always
want the ABIs toin, but I do wish Sauvea wasn't captain.
Is he gonna get booed Marcus? You know, if it's
a norm for paying an entry fee is a museum?
Do all museums charge entrance fee? I'm on the committee
for a small town museum. I don't think it's right
to charge your fee. A donations were appropriate. What do

(01:49:28):
you think good donation? But charge out of town is money?
Does your local council give you a subsidy. Marcus. It's
a sign of disrespect to where your shoes inside in Japan. Yes,
but we're not Japan. Marcus. I have a mate who's
a cop considering leaving to Australia for the better pay.
The only thing this government is progressing is move on orders,

(01:49:51):
moving our good cops to Australia. So the rugby as well,
the rugby and plumbers. As I say this final hour,
you might want to tie up some loose ends. It's
shoes in motels, with motels saying you shouldn't wear them inside.
How do you feel about that? And then we go
into hats and boy, oh boy, there's some old people
that are furious about people wearing hats and doors. I say,

(01:50:13):
times have changed. You've got to chill out. People can
do what they want. It's not affecting you, it's not
hurting you. It's actually none of your business. You're a
bit of a karen if you want to go on
about people wearing hats. There are places you're not allowed
to wear them, like the RSA. But that's their own
journey and they've got their own problems, and part of
it's probably do with how welcoming they are to people.
I mean, gosh, often there before you even know what's happening,

(01:50:34):
they're shouting you down because you've got a hat or
something on. And the German coach of England, the English
coach who's German, has said that I'll tell you what
he said. I'll tell you what he said after this break.
But looking forward to hearing from your twenty three past
eleven full board me. A good full boarding would be great.
Light me up whatever you got hit ll twelve. Promise
I won't play any village people that I'm thinking of it, Well,

(01:50:56):
maybe I'm not. Let the children watch this is the
English coach, the German English coach. So here's what he said.
Write an excuse for school and let them watch football.
They have so much school to go to, but the
world covers every four years. Let them watch. There were big,
big match in four days and we need the support
of everyone as specially the children. English should just make
it a holiday. I'm convinced about that. Cheapers twenty six

(01:51:21):
past eleven Gwenett's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:51:25):
Hello. You've been wanting me to ring you. I think
to talk about hats inside hats. I find it, Yes,
it's I find it's bad manners, and I think it's disrespectful.
And anybody that comes into this house, I just say,
hats off please. Yeah, okay, you do see that. You

(01:51:45):
see we're slowly getting We're slowly getting worse and worse
worth manners, really, aren't we? No man open a car
door for a wife now when she gets done.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
I disagree. I disagree when I think probably the people
are the young people of re polite and respectful, and
I'm around them a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:52:06):
I think, why you're wearing a hat inside? Anyway? It's
not raining and the sun's not shining, so why not
take it off anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
But it's no one else's business. It's no one else's business.
It's nothing to do with anyone. It's nothing to do
with anyone else, no one's business at all.

Speaker 4 (01:52:22):
You don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:52:23):
So what I wear on my body and how I
dress is no business of anyone else's. And for anyone
to say anything, for anyone to say anything would be
unbelievably disrespectful.

Speaker 4 (01:52:39):
But not when they come into your home if you
don't want them to be wearing or I don't think
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:52:46):
Well, I think shoes, I think shoes. Shoes is different.
There's a practical reason for people to keep the carpet clean.

Speaker 5 (01:52:51):
I think that.

Speaker 2 (01:52:51):
I think there's practical reasons. That's why I'm quite fascinated
as a topic because a while ago, no one e
could take off shoes, but now it seems more often
than not people take shoes off. And that might be
a cultural thing. That might be to do with people
have been on my eye and trying all that and
seeing how well that works.

Speaker 4 (01:53:08):
But you know, I think that's individual thing actually, but
it's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:53:13):
Well, carpet's expensive now, yes, so I'm not getting the
I'm not getting the invite to your house, Gwen.

Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
Yes you can, but please remove your hat because I
find it disrespectful. I think that we need some more
man open a door for a woman. But we didn't
see that. We're now we're losing our manners.

Speaker 2 (01:53:35):
No, because it's because for manners they need to be
there need to be some real there's no reason to
be so obsessed about for people to be so fixated
on hats. It's it's from a bygone era. The battles.
The battles lost, but that's the thing, you see.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
I think that manners and respect of other people is
going and we shouldn't let it go.

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
I think in the old days, you look back, in
the old days, people had the facade of manners, but
what went on in the private home was just appalling.

Speaker 10 (01:54:04):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:54:04):
These days, I think people a lot more honest, and
I think we're seeing the results of that. It's my
take anyway, But yeah, appreciate the invite, Clarence. It's Marcus,
good evening, Mars.

Speaker 16 (01:54:15):
It's a touchy subject. I think it's personal preference for hats,
but shoes definitely. You don't know where the soles or
those have been.

Speaker 20 (01:54:25):
And it's a.

Speaker 16 (01:54:28):
Common practice in many places for them to provide these
little slippers that you put on to keep your cappit clean.
And I think that's just good. That's not nothing to
do in manners. It's very practical problem taking.

Speaker 2 (01:54:43):
I've got no problem taking shoes. I think it's probably
a pretty good idea.

Speaker 16 (01:54:46):
Yeah, And some people are self conscious. They might have
a ball paid for something they don't like to, you know,
they just don't want to, or a.

Speaker 2 (01:54:55):
Bad or a bad hair day or anything any manner
of things. They might be having chemotherapy that here might
be falling out.

Speaker 16 (01:55:03):
Yes, there's all sorts of things like that. My main
reason for English to think one said b for saying
they're going to broadcast the All Blacks game because I
haven't got TV. I've got nothing online being an invalid,
and just got the phone and the radio to an

(01:55:23):
old type of radio, and they the commentaries on the radio.
Usually you're on the sport. They've taken that off because
we lost the antenna up here for radio sport. So
I just wanted to say thanks and very much appreciate
Dan there in the background and Joe Gilfillan, thank you

(01:55:44):
for the news and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:55:46):
Oh dear from Clarence, thanks for that. Twenty nine to twelve.
I'm really disappointed Razor can't enjoy being with the All Blacks.
Artie Severe's tantrim was pathetic. I hope the crowd bill him.
I live in christ Church, but not going to the game.
Bring back Razor. I don't know that has has raised
been banned from the game. I might have missed that.
But having Mark's other before you go, you know, the

(01:56:07):
fuel dock at the end of the shopping receipt. It's
a shame they get throwing away. It'd be nice to
send on to some company out there to give people
who can use them. Chaps, get in touch if you
want to talk weight hundred and eighty ten eighty Eric,
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:56:21):
Yeah, there you go, Marcus. Just on the hats thing. There,
all respect to the lady that rang up. I mean
in her own home. She's got her own rules and
she's entitled to say what she wants in her own
in her in her own home. She sounds like an
older lady. And you know, we have a lot of
on the way fifties, but I still have a lot

(01:56:43):
of respect for the older people in the way things were.
But as for hats, I think here it's time now
to move on from it. And you know, especially in
the rsays and place of that, because look, you know,
some people wear hats because yeah, because you know, of course,

(01:57:05):
especially men mean bald and some of men feel very
self conscious about having a bald head. I don't like
having a bald head, so they wear a cap for
that reason. And it's not because they're disrespectful, it's just
because of self conscious It's a bit like someone walked
into a place and a lady was wearing a scarf

(01:57:26):
around her head and said, well, take your scarf off
because we think that's disrespectful. Well, it's almost disrespectful to
ask the person to take the scarf or their hat off.
It's part of your dress code and it's part of
the way you are. Although it was a clean from
a bygone era and it was a respect thing that
you took your hat off with humanity, an iris or

(01:57:48):
a home. But I'm not sure where it's come where
it came from, but time to change.

Speaker 2 (01:57:55):
And I think we spend so much time trying to
get our kids to wear hats outside to you know,
to skin cancer and stuff that hats are very important
for kids. Now look to wear them outside of it.
If you tell the kids to take hats on and off,
they'll be losing them. And all put your head on,
leave it on. I think that's pretty much the mantra.

Speaker 8 (01:58:14):
That's right.

Speaker 27 (01:58:14):
A lot of things have changed over the years. I
still think they're good. All thank you, thank you, and please,
and you know, being respectful to people and treat others
how you want to be treated, which is all on
ground in myself. All that stuff still stands and Just
because I wear a hat doesn't mean I'm a disrespectful person.
You know, I never used to wear a hat myself,

(01:58:35):
but you know, I'm getting a book fin on top too,
so I'll wear a hat these days. So I think
if someone told me to take my hat off, I
probably feel a bit like, well, hang on a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:58:43):
They where are they getting off? Exactly? Eric, I'm there
for you. Ye mind your own what you're wearing. Sandra,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:58:53):
Good evening, Oh good evening, Marcus. That's actually just been
said by the previous call of what I run up for.

Speaker 8 (01:59:01):
You know that lady.

Speaker 6 (01:59:05):
With due respet I did.

Speaker 20 (01:59:06):
It's her home, but with her listening, she may have
a change of mind. Because people can be very self conscious,
as he said, if they're losing hair or lost heir
have a bad hair day, as you said, you know,
there's a lot of reasons.

Speaker 10 (01:59:26):
Or just.

Speaker 20 (01:59:28):
Like I enjoy wearing a hat. I wore a hat
the other day into town and I was actually having
a bit of a bad hair day, so I wore
a hat. And it's just one of these things. I
think I'd be affronted if someone told me to take
my hat off and I was having.

Speaker 7 (01:59:49):
A bad hair day.

Speaker 2 (01:59:52):
It's not their business.

Speaker 7 (01:59:54):
No, no, But one thing, I do.

Speaker 20 (01:59:57):
Have a regular visitor, and I'm continually asking them to
take the shoes off, and sometimes they just walk walk good.

Speaker 16 (02:00:07):
With their shoes on.

Speaker 20 (02:00:08):
And it's so exasperation with that particular situation, because you
don't want your carpet marked, and you know, you don't
want to be continually cleaning your carpet. So I really
don't know what to do.

Speaker 23 (02:00:28):
With that person.

Speaker 20 (02:00:31):
But that's the I agree with taking your shoes off
at the door.

Speaker 2 (02:00:36):
Oh, it's practical. Yeah, it's something that's fine because it
makes sense. There's a reason to it. It's not some
antiquated colonial respect thing. I don't know where it's come from.
They say it's from the days where people want suit
of armor to try and show that you weren't coming
into battle. But it's been a long time. It's other
women's suit of armor. Clink clink, Charlotte Marcus good evening.

Speaker 30 (02:00:57):
I was just thinking that ladies in the ones that
others want hats taken off, they are very very fortunate
because they got nothing else to worry about in this world.

Speaker 2 (02:01:09):
But per hats, hats and manners Yeah, nice to hear
from your shower.

Speaker 31 (02:01:13):
You know, I can sort of remember it, but you know,
but you know, I'm didn't wear hats anyway. So and
if you've got if you go into the face and
you have to take your hat off and you haven't
got much hair and it's cold, can you say that?
Can you turn?

Speaker 14 (02:01:30):
He is on?

Speaker 2 (02:01:31):
Keith, good on you, Thank you, Charlotte. Yeah, I do
wear hats. It's it has been. It's cold down south.
You get used to a hat. It used to woolen hat.
I got admit that. But also too once't you start
taking off, then you'll nevertably lose it. That's the thing.
Take it off. And the lastly, where's it? Where I
leave my hat? Where I leave my hat? Asking the

(02:01:52):
kids asking if I where's my hat? Just easy to
leave it on. It's practical, great things. Hats, a lot
of love for hats. Love a hat. Might open a
hat shop Lush's Hats. Although on a Hill Hats had
financial trouble at they had to go crowdfunding. Little those
funny little sort of cloth caps. I'm not into that,
those peak caps. I'm quite particularly about my hats. It's

(02:02:15):
not a bad hats all of the texts are agreeing
with me. I was taught. I've taught my son that
hats off inside. But I find it's the elderly whose
menners are worse than younger people. I find that the
young kids menners are a lot better. Yes, love manners.
What's the point you say? Thank you? I think that's
kind of what it is. Two twenty two from twelve Wow,

(02:02:40):
oh yeah, finally got people wound up about hats. But
I think probably the past I went up the most
was myself, just with people's does it matter? Goodness? Does
it matter not? In a job? Did anyone die because
someone wore a hat inside? No, no one died. And

(02:03:01):
nineteen to twelve high Calvin, it's Marcus, good evening, Hello, Calvin, Yeah, goody, welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:03:06):
Hey.

Speaker 32 (02:03:06):
Oh I'm very surprised. And it's the older, older people
that are ringing up and saying about the hats and
shoes and things. I'm forty eight so and I was
always taught don't wear a hat inside, and if you're
saying hello to a lady, you take your head off.

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
But why were you taught it? That makes no sense?

Speaker 32 (02:03:32):
I don't I don't know where that come from.

Speaker 2 (02:03:35):
You should question. You should always question what you're taught.

Speaker 32 (02:03:38):
Yeah, well, you know I was quite young at the time,
so it would have been. But yeah, especially don't wear
their hat and dinner table and shoes that that's a
preference of the person that's hols it is. I mean,
if you have a shoes off policy, shoes off, and

(02:03:59):
it's up to your visitors to be respectful.

Speaker 2 (02:04:01):
On your Calvin, Tania, Marcus, good evening. Hi Tania, this
is Marcus. Good thing and welcome, good evening.

Speaker 18 (02:04:08):
Are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
Thank you?

Speaker 28 (02:04:09):
Hats have become through boring interesting topic. I'm even I'm
even younger than the last day. Okay, but I also
taught my raised my son to well. Respect and manners
are of utmost importance. And one of those seemed to
be taking your heads off.

Speaker 2 (02:04:26):
But who's insight?

Speaker 28 (02:04:26):
I have no idea who taught me that.

Speaker 2 (02:04:28):
Whose manners is it?

Speaker 27 (02:04:30):
Well?

Speaker 28 (02:04:30):
Manners of any kind of about most importance in life.
They will take you far as well. I talk my son.

Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
No, But hang hang on, Telly, which culture says you
got to take your head off?

Speaker 28 (02:04:38):
I was born and most of New Zealand, so I mean,
he's every culture here I don't really know. I believe
it's the same as sunglasses. I believe sunglasses and hats,
not all hats, per HAPs that are scure your eyes.
The repeat comes from looking someone and eye and greeting them.
When you hear a hat that covers like.

Speaker 11 (02:04:57):
My boys.

Speaker 2 (02:04:59):
That I think people can be what they want. I'm
not gonna I'm not going to judge them or tell
them that's up to them.

Speaker 27 (02:05:05):
I'm not.

Speaker 28 (02:05:06):
I just I think it's just important to the respect
thing I think is what is important, not so much
of the hat.

Speaker 27 (02:05:11):
It's the respect.

Speaker 28 (02:05:12):
Like when you meet someone, you lift up your glasses,
you check the handle, and you say hi. It's the
meeting up the eyes. It's like a homie. It's like
it's respect to look at someone. When you need to
hide behind glasses or behind the hat, or behind any
other mask you want to wear.

Speaker 27 (02:05:27):
People, you're hiding yourself.

Speaker 2 (02:05:29):
This might be what people want to do. You don't
respect what they want. They might want to hide themselves.
It's their choice. You know, you don't know. You haven't
walked on their feet. I just think people too much
under the judgment buzz oh do this do that? It's
a sign of manness, what a silly thing that is.
Treat people well. Marcus. Years ago, after six weeks to see,
myself and a colleague embarked on a night in the town.
Sometime later we ended up in a motel with pre

(02:05:52):
booked bolded and basically dived onto a bed and crashed
out shoes on. We left the next day fitting seed
and dazed. Oh wow. Later I got a phone call
from the owner of the motel. One of us heads
apparently stepped in something on the way home. Wow, have
been smeared through? The hotel owner said, don't even come back, stupus. Ah,

(02:06:14):
this is Farmers for you. Hey, Marcus, no hat wearing
in my house, your students outside, you take it off,
doesn't matter who you are, pig, stay outside. Pook a
car a farmer, Deddy Here to midnight, man ofers, Marcus. Welcome,
Oh weight hundred and eighty carry Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 21 (02:06:31):
Hey Marcus, I've made a few dramas, mate, so I've
only been listening to the last time now at pretty much.
So would you wear a jacket with attached in someone's else?

Speaker 2 (02:06:44):
Would I?

Speaker 10 (02:06:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (02:06:46):
Would you wear a like a you know, like a
jacket was an attached.

Speaker 2 (02:06:51):
I've got quite strong feelings about hoodies because if every
I'm cycling with a hoodie, right, and you turn your
head to look what's behind you, all you're seeing is
the back of the hood So I have a pro
with wearing hoodies. I don't own any hoodies. Would I
have a problem wearing a hoodie inside? No problem whatsoever?

Speaker 21 (02:07:15):
Oh why to find that most young people, most people,
if they come in a house with a like a
jacket with a check should like ad they take the
good I mean that's just what I observed. And people
that have been brought up with with good manners, that's
just what I would. I just find that most people
would just take their goods down.

Speaker 2 (02:07:36):
I just try to be welcoming to any I try
to be welcoming to anyone that comes around, no matter
what they're going to. I'm not going to say if
someone comes around to see me or visit us or that,
I'm not going to say, oh, you can't wear that,
or you can't wear that. That's that's not my buzz.

Speaker 21 (02:07:50):
Fair enough.

Speaker 2 (02:07:51):
Yeah, No, I've got I've got Because fashion comes and goes,
and people God, there was mouls trying to ben hoodies
and stuff cheap as creepers. I couldn't believe anyway. I
hope your dramas sort themselves out. Carry twelve to twelve,
All about the hats, All about the damn hats. Oh oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty pig stay outside goodness

(02:08:16):
thirteen to twelve, back atcher, someone's texted manners don't encourage
good behavior, just class discrimination. Well, who sets the manners?
Who sets the manners. It's a good thing that I
can work on my own and no one sees me.
We'll be pleased to know that Dan is a vehement
hat inside guy. Even preachers in his hat. Now that's

(02:08:40):
not something that I've told many people. But yep, I've
never seen I've never seen Dan preach. But Dan preaches
in his hat. Is it your stated hat, Dan, It's
a peculiar hat because it's like a beanie peaked hat.
It's yeah, it's like something I've never seen before. Anyway, John,
it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 8 (02:09:01):
Yeah, good evening, Marcus. Listen, Nate, I'm from Monica. I
do fishing every day of the week. Now I'm retired.
For the last fifteen years, I've born a head inside outside.
Sometimes even when I fall asleep during on the bed
during the daytime and the head still lived on. It's
one of those things. And I've got very long here

(02:09:23):
and the wine cut it. And people will say, oh,
it's shameful John, that if I took my head off,
they'll see the size of me here. There's quite embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (02:09:33):
John. Have you had people respectful of you because you
sound like someone that should be respected. I respect you.

Speaker 8 (02:09:40):
I'm a bit of a hard case. I like to
drinks and sometimes I go down to the the old
bully bar down the Pubbia down here, down and want
to go and they say, oh, why do you take
your head off?

Speaker 10 (02:09:51):
John?

Speaker 8 (02:09:51):
Every day you've got the same head on. Take it off,
you know. It's quite embarrassing for me. But I say,
no way. And then one day I did actually take
it and they said, don't leave it on. Listen. I
know you don't like Joe, but this is a very
quick one and it's clean.

Speaker 2 (02:10:09):
So's I don't like jokes. I'm always nervous I'm not
going to get it. I'm nervous it's going to be
rude or racist or something. But anyway, I trust you.

Speaker 8 (02:10:20):
Yeah, really gay. What's the difference between a white man,
a dark man and a straw hat? You got? You
got that so far.

Speaker 10 (02:10:36):
Right now?

Speaker 8 (02:10:37):
The difference is, Marcus, there's no difference because they all
blow off brilliant.

Speaker 2 (02:10:43):
Thank you John, Thank god, Peter, it's Marcus. Good evening,
you're there, Peter's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (02:10:50):
Good evening, Yeah him, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (02:10:53):
Would you walk into the RSA with handle?

Speaker 10 (02:10:56):
No?

Speaker 6 (02:10:56):
Well why not?

Speaker 2 (02:10:57):
Because I wouldn't go?

Speaker 10 (02:10:59):
Have you been?

Speaker 8 (02:10:59):
Why would why would you?

Speaker 19 (02:11:01):
Would you wear a hat or an.

Speaker 27 (02:11:02):
R S I?

Speaker 2 (02:11:03):
Have you been to an r S A lately, Peter,
I'm sure they'd be the most friendly. They would be
the most unfriendly up type places you could go. Would
it's it's it's the same old four people there at
the bar looking down at you, complaining about the except

(02:11:23):
of course the bluff RSA, which is very good. So no,
I'm not going to walk.

Speaker 6 (02:11:28):
Would you walk into a bank with a crash on?

Speaker 2 (02:11:31):
What I walk?

Speaker 25 (02:11:32):
Haven't?

Speaker 2 (02:11:33):
Have I got a question at the moment, I'd walk
in with a bike helmet. But I don't understand your point.

Speaker 18 (02:11:38):
Peter, Well, you're not in a bank with a helmet on.

Speaker 2 (02:11:42):
Yeah, but we're not talking about banks and crash helmets.
You've kind of that's a ridiculous comparison. We're just talking
about people obsession with manners and hats.

Speaker 3 (02:11:51):
And you've got no respect.

Speaker 2 (02:11:53):
You're saying, I'm not going to go to an r
s A. Peter. I've told you that because they're so
obsessed about hats and singlets that no one's going. That's
why they're all going owing bust, Peter, because they've made
themselves so unwelcoming. We had to saying about five times tonight. Anyway,

(02:12:15):
cheap as goodness. But yeah, I think you're too angry, Peter.
Traditionally men remove their hat to be entering a house,
but women kept these on until they returned to their
own home. It's weird, isn't it. If people use door
mats and wipe their shoes, there would be no reason
to remove shoes. Sweaty feet can be just as damaging
to your carpet goodness. By the way, I can't believe

(02:12:37):
we got into hoodies as well. There's people triggered by hoodies.
Just don't look for fights. People, just you know, just
chill out. What would someone say about crash helmets anyway? Now,
let me just make sure, I've got no missing news
before the end missing headlines. Wimbledon is on going great

(02:13:00):
guns and no, the big news is the English football
and we the children have the of course they have
the day of school. Kate surprises fans in the Wilberd
and Ceter handout tickets as she appears in s W
nineteing for the first time at this year's Championship, the
Queen of Center Court, and she's doing selfies with people.

(02:13:22):
Is it any right to do a selfie with a royal?
I guess you got to move with the times, just
like we have to. And the times they are changing.
And she'd never hat on the princess. Other people would
be into people wearing hats. But now they want to
tell us where Graham says, no hats and golf club
rooms all around the world. No, well this Texas have

(02:13:44):
told me tonight that you can wear your hats now.
It's all changed in the golf courses. You can we
hat in the golf club. It's all changing the world.
It's changing.
