Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Here to twelve people. Welcome and good evening. It is
the free for all. That is the Friday free for all.
It is the free for all Friday, the free for
all on a Friday, that is the Friday free for all.
I think we've got that right. Welcome and good evening.
Topic agnostic tonight. There's no real things to talk about
that I've set in stone or died in the world.
It's a free for all. It's flexible, flexy Friday. We're

(00:33):
always thinking name kind of sometimes that you know what,
you don't quite know what's going to run and what's
going to sit. My predictions have changed, No, my predictions
haven't changed. My royal prediction is I think William will
be king by the end of the year. That's what
I've decided. It'll happen. They'll try to corterize the wound,
and that's it might happen.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
It might not.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
That's the thing about predictions. If it's right, I'll be
shutting it from the rooftops. If I'm wrong, I won't
mention it again. But that's my prediction. It'll get it.
I'll be, It'll be, it'll go run and around around
and me ghastly what happens, And then you know, they think, okay,
William's young new blood with his wife. They'll get there
and they'll try and turn the ship around. Do I

(01:14):
carry the way, No, not a jot. But that's why
I think will happen. Because half world away and he's
eighth in line, he could still be king. But it
needs them all be on the same plane, in that
plane to go down. And I don't think Harry and
his kid to go to be on a plane with
William and Kate. I don't think Kate's in line for
the throne yet, is she? I even for some of

(01:38):
my discuss for some of my thoughts, they even tried
to work out if I did know the succession line,
which I presume it goes William, then his children, and
Harry then his then Andrew. I might be wrong, but
I'm not. I don't have any pride I know, except oh,
you're wrong, you're wrong, and you you're wrong. I've just
got a glancing interest in it. If there's any breaking

(02:00):
us to that, if any other royals get arrested, I'll
tell you about that. What did be the chances you
won't have a royal also tonight. I know a lot
of people have probably been consuming a lot of media
about this funny that you were discussing hats last night,
in wide broom hats. That's what Andrew needed, was a
wide broom hat. Never photographs, well, he always tries to hide,

(02:24):
which makes him look like an aging Lujah. But there
you go. I don't know who his phone or friend was,
but I guess he had lawyers and stuff like that.
But it's Friday, free for all anyway, Greetings and welcome.
We might start with you, Graham. It's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Good evening, Yeah, greeting from South and we were having
our untent scared show today. Gong, hey, fatoy. That's Chinese
for Chinese New Year of the Horse starts tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
I think it's I think it started last week, didn't
it starts?

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Well, he starts about midnight tonight, officially.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
How do you know that?

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Oh? I know quite a few Chinese, and of course
Peter Chin is one of my heroes, of course.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
But the date for Chinese New Year is the seventeenth
of February.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, it's the date that we celebrated here.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Indonesia and maybe you've been the.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Southern festivals and stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah yeah, wow, maybe you've Friday eyed it. What's happening
in the town tonight.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Well tomorrow there's a big procession to the Chinese. There's
a few few events on and down. Of course, you know,
we we also celebrate the Thewali Festival of the Light.
That's the Indian festival. That's a that's next month.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
I think.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
So yeah, we're we're pretty multicultural down here up here
were you're geographically located and we're just sending greetings here.
When is the wally Wali Festival the Light? I think
it's in March.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I think because I went to Dewali last year in
Dunedin at the Edgar Center Edgar Allam Poe Center. And
I'll tell you something about dwale. Right, yep, this might
sound unpopular. They've got to take it outdoors. Nothing's fun
in the Edga Center. It's just a giant Kevaner's space.
You've got to some of those Chinese Lenten festivals with
the things hanging from dreams. It's beautiful. Dawley needs to

(04:28):
go for that vibe.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Oh yeah, do you agree to respecting other people just
account of cultures.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I just always think it's good to get places out
and about if the weather's good. Yep, that's my take
on that one. So where did you say the Chinese
that you're marching to.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Well, we've got quite a few events on this weekend. Also,
there's the famous Regent book sale that's on tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Oh, yes, I'm heading to that. Will you be going
to that? Will you be going to that?

Speaker 4 (05:03):
No, I'm still of it and disposed. I've got to
bare the injured ankorn. It's been separating for quite a
few weeks, so I've got to get that better. And
I've got an ATM to attend on Sunday, So I've
got a firty full board of events.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
No, there's one particular book I always buy at that festival,
but I'll go. I'll be going up there myself. I
just thought if you're going to get there early, i'd
get you to pick up some for me.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
It starts at about ten o'clock and goes through to
about five.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Or six biggest bookshel in the world. I reckon.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Well, I don't know about that, but it's.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
The Southern Southern hemisphere.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Yeah, it's at the event center. It's not at the
region anymore. Not for the last five years. It's been
at the Eggs Edgar Sports Center. That's down near Porter
Beller Road.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh that's where that's where the Duali was last year.
That was at the Yeah, yep, I'll be going there again. Okay, Well,
good to talk to your Graham. Thanksfetting. The whole thing started, brilliant.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty yep. Text you want
to come through. Let's be hearing from your people here
till twelve hre till midnight here on the Morrow. Keep

(06:22):
texts coming through if you've got them. Nine two nine
Who is the text number in Otherwise, Marcus Chinese New
Year on the seventeenth to February. Yeah, now, Marcus, Yes,
so you mentioned the South Korean present getting judges should
see their parents. He may day. It looks like his
age thirty years in a few months. Probably has. I

(06:45):
bet your Prince Andrew is not looking sixty six anymore either.
Flip Blear, it's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
Good evening, Hey, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Bleair?

Speaker 7 (06:54):
Hey Marcus, Like you know, it's not what I call
but the person who was on before a bit of
the scene. But you know it's it's a great evening,
and you know, I really enjoy I actually really enjoy

(07:17):
your your benter.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Oh god, the wow. Is anything any sort of topic
you want to broach tonight, because I'm sort of lost
for topics tonight.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
No, not you surely.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, sometimes sometimes the kind of the topic file dries up. Occasionally,
you know, you get some good days and bear and
sometimes you think, well, on a Friday, the country is
not in a serious mood. They're probably watching a bit
of sport. They're trying to work out they have to
mop up things in the weekend if it's going to rain.
They're probably just not in the topic adjacent space.

Speaker 7 (07:51):
How well, to be fair, how how screwed is New Zealand?
We're our most favorite topic is where it's raining.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh we love talking about the weather. But now I
think we're sick of it.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
Well one hundred setting see right, But yeah, your previous caller,
I was like, we'll seeing him going really yeah, yeah,
I'll be fair. I was like, I disagree with everything
that he's just said.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Okay, well said he wasn't despised, but thank you, bo
I tried not try and slam people when they can't respond,
but you're nice to hear from you keep it going.
You might talk about the great discoveries you've got from
the books. Twenty four our books out at Delian's a
very famous thing. But yeah, anyway, also to your royal predictions,

(08:41):
what you think is going to happen? Who would really know?
But in the light of everything else, I'll tell you what.
It's a good time to be a Royal correspondent. They've
had a busy twenty four hours, haven't they, And they
seem slightly more level headed the Royal Correspondent. For a
long time there they spoke with replum voices and the
Royal Correspondents really seem to serve as the royal promotional arm.
I think these days some of the ononess we've heard

(09:03):
have been slightly more the more realistic with some of
the comments they've made today, and none of it looks
particularly good. Although I do feel that I don't want
to say this uncharitably, but I do feel that probably
Megan's wandering around their house and Calabasas wherever they are,
probably during quiet skips and air punches, because yeah, I

(09:28):
think she was quite happy to be away from that family,
and probably with a good reason. So anyway, eight hundred
and eighty to thirty and nine two nine two detects
of you. I'll keep you updated with the users. It
happens throughout the course of the evening a Hurricane player
has gone off on a stretcher. Rick Cameron, you've probably
known that by now. There's the Warriors are playing. I

(09:50):
don't like to watch pre season games in the NRL
because they mean nothing and you always get a rum
deal on them. You always think, well, hang on, we're back,
Well this is our year. Well this isn't our year,
and the reverse always happens. I think a good Warriors
pre season is one where they lose every match past
a pulling. This is Marcus, good.

Speaker 8 (10:08):
Evening, Hello, Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh good pulling? Thank you.

Speaker 8 (10:12):
Now, what I'm going to say might sound rather odd,
but I have a theory about Andrew's arrest. Would you
like to hear it?

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Sure?

Speaker 8 (10:23):
Okay? The United States want Andrew to go to the
United States and appear before Congress or someone and answer
questions about Jeffrey Epstein and everyone who was involved. Now,
I believe there would be a lot of people in
the United States who were involved who do not want

(10:43):
Andrew to appear in from the Congress.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Do you think he's going to do you think he's
going to get taken.

Speaker 8 (10:48):
Out if he goes over The United Kingdom police know this,
so they have arrested him. And if someone's arrested and
waiting for trial, they cannot leave the country. And this
is my theory.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Have you effect checked yourself, Pauline? Is that true?

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (11:08):
I don't know. I have no technology. No, I just
listened to the radio.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
No, but I wonder when you said, but when you
said that when you're under arrest or to be charged,
you can't leave the country, that would be true it
or you could get right, okay, you fair enough, although
I think people do get rights to travel. But yeah,
that would be interesting, wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (11:28):
I don't know. I was in prison administration for seven years,
arrest or trials or anything. I just did the paperwork. Yeah,
so shall we see what happens.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yes, there's eight different police units investigating him, so it's
not just this one thing. I wouldn't imagine this.

Speaker 8 (11:50):
All broke out when you were still on radio, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yes, this was last night.

Speaker 8 (11:54):
I thought, what a marvelous coup for Marcus.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
You know, yes, thank you, Pauline. Nice to hear from you.
It's not often you get breaking news lever pocket night.
Although I probably this is about the time the queen died,
it was about this time of night. Also, I thought
that although I think we justard you're taking a turn
for the worst, worst worst, oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty, keep those texts and calls coming through. What's

(12:20):
interesting about this story, right, And it's hard not to
sometimes find interest in someone else's misfortune. And it's not
a probably a a trait that we all should be

(12:41):
proud with. But what I've noticed today is that the
delight and scorn and abhorrence for Andrew Mountbatten has been
absolutely universal. I haven't heard one purpose. Normally, when something
like this happens, even if it's the most odious person,
someone say, hang on, let's wait for the trial, let's

(13:02):
wait till we're dealing with the facts. But with this
particular case, and that's what happens when you know, you
lie down with dogs, you get fleas. That's what happens
if you are a friend of pedophile to try and
make your life easier or whatever he has done. Yeah,

(13:23):
no good comes from it. People said to take a
very very very low view. I think even the ardent
royalists would be fairly happy with what's happened, provided they
can quarterize the wound. It is him and the wife,
the ex wife and the children, because I don't think
they're going to pass muster when the analysis happens. Someone said,

(13:47):
Bob joys for a lighthearted topic, or his tomato sauce
got thinner, might be global warming. Might just have heate
it up and it runs quicker. Just had to replace
the key at work three fifty dollars bugger heiland is
Chiefs also on Underneed and tomorrow night des around Marston
watching Rugby, then the Warriors listening to us to yes,
we're off to a party into Eden tomorrow, so I

(14:08):
might stay and watch the Highlanders and the Chiefs. It
all depends on whether the Sunday morning sport's canceled because
the weather hasn't been great, but we might need to
come straight back, or why might get the loser cruise
to get the bus. I don't think the UK are
the police want to protect Andrew. I think they'd gladly
hand him to the UK hot take on Pauling's reasons

(14:32):
US engineered media storm distraction to distract from the Trump's
Iran war about to blow up. Something's going on in
the States because everyone's going on and on about UFOs,
which is normally what happens when they need a diversion.
They tell you what. People always fall for it too.
I've had a lot of discussions on the Raider today
about UFOs. There they go, they're falling for it. Wars
about to break out. We've got the first royal that's

(14:55):
been arrested for three hundred and fifty years or ever
since it happened to Charles the First or whoever. And
now we're talking aliens twenty three past eight. Oh, that's
remissive me too. I haven't giving you the updates I've
meant to with the old rugby because I forgot the
rugby was on. But I found the channel of that
on now and I'll do madam. This. This is Hurricanes
versus Milwana PACIFICA. It's thirty one to the Hurricanes, five

(15:19):
to Molwana PACIFICA second half. Stephen, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 9 (15:25):
You get a Marcus now are you good, Stephen, I'm I'm.

Speaker 10 (15:29):
Glad to hear.

Speaker 11 (15:29):
And then you're going to be down Duneeda de Marcus.
There's going to be a big data moment in Donita
because we definitely have the rugby game.

Speaker 12 (15:35):
To my leg, I meant the stadium for sidebar stadium.

Speaker 11 (15:39):
But I just want to say that it's quite interesting.
I'm hearing Graham sometimes from South India and anyways regards
themselves growing from South Anina. I just want to say that,
but I just want to I just want to let
him know that the books started today at ten o'clock,
not yesterday.

Speaker 13 (15:56):
I'm not tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
And does it go for forty eight hours or twenty
four hours?

Speaker 11 (16:01):
It goes from today at ten o'clock until tomorrow ten.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Okay, so it'll be all tonight, it'll be there. Will
there be people that would you.

Speaker 11 (16:11):
Go, Stephen, I'm always seeing I always seem to go along.
But so I've got plenty of times, We've got plenty
of times as I always I'm always down the road
to go.

Speaker 13 (16:19):
You know that, I always go to.

Speaker 11 (16:19):
The Egosinea sometimes anything you see me, i'd walk along
the streets and anything I.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Have, and I think what The thing is people need
to know about the book sale. It's not like you
need to be there at the beginning, because all the
good books go because they keep them out the back
and they constantly refresh them. So even if you tune
up at three in the morning, you've got a chance
of discovering one of the great books, which I think
is the fair way to do it.

Speaker 11 (16:41):
Yeah, so I just want to let Graham know. But
it's quite interesting here sometime often, but I just want
to let Graham know that it's started today at ten
o'clock and go talk ten o'clock to my night.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Brilliant. Need to hear from you, Stephen, Thank you so much.
It's funny enough. Every time I go to the box
house anywhere I always buy. You'll be surprised what I buy.
And there's always copies. I buy as many copies as
I as I can of Super in the South, the
early history of the South Incoperative Phosphate Company. I've got
to make. It's a fertilizer rep and I give them

(17:14):
to him, and I think he's too polite to say
it doesn't want anymore. I think he gives them to
his clients. It looks nigh on unreadable as a book.
But I just can't believe how I always saw so
many copies. I thought i'd start buying them. They must
have just printed thousands of copies and given them all
to all the farmers in Southland and Otago. So yeah,
if you see some copies, I'll repay you in kind.

(17:36):
Super in the South Cliveland The Early History of the
South Incoperative Phosphate Company. I mean it mightn't be unreadable,
but certainly I haven't managed to get through it. You'll
know it. It's got a distinctive eighties looking font thirty
five thirty six five hurricanes over Mwana. Didn't see any
Winter Olympics today, I see they reckon Zadowski said it

(17:58):
was stiff for the medal. You see. I don't like
it when it comes to judges. I don't like I
wouldn't like to be competing and think it was a
judge went the wrong way, having a bad day, or
they've disallowed that try jeepest creepers controversy. Wow God and
good on Tana. So yeah these there again too. They're
in the coaches box. Well, don know how anything goes tonight.

(18:19):
It just the Friday free for all, you might be
one of these royal historians that might like to ring
and say, well, this will happen or that'll happen, or yeah.
I'm always like those people that have some arkae knowledge
of the Royals. I saw a lot of memes involved
with police transporting swans in the back of police cars,
which I didn't really understand, but I think that was
something to do with the royal rights to harvest swans.

(18:43):
By the way, too, the Road Nights went into cargo gang.
I don't know a lot about them, but they had
a two story headquarters that I passed on the drive
home to Bluffin in the last couple of years that
has gone and been demolished, so I don't even know
if they still have a headquarters or quite where they
hang out. But yeah, they were kind of in Voca.
I think there was the Antarctic Angels that were a

(19:06):
seven the type of thing, and then the Road Nights.
But as Tony said, they have been taken off the
gang list. Yeah, so there you go. No crimes have
been committed, and if you want to be involved in
the chit chat tonight, you are more than welcome. Always
enjoy my lighthearted Friday, so get in touch. It is
muffin day. It's always a day for something, and I

(19:28):
always like to a pine a bit on that muffin day.
I'll tell you something about a muffin. If there was
any snack or anything that I wouldn't understand the hype
about it would be a muffin. Terrible things. So I
don't even think I know what a muffin is. But
normally they're full of giant chocolate chips and things and
horrible stuff. But anyway, today is a muffin day. Have
a bit of cake if you want to, or something,
but not a muffin anyway. I don't know if you

(19:52):
want to saything interesting about muffins, but you never I mean,
it's not like a cronat or a bagel or some
of the great pastries. It's a dart, isn't it. By
the way, don't expect calls or outrage about muffins. But
that sort of eggy, dewey sort of pastry with blue
no good at all. I reckon. Probably twenty years time
they'll cease to exist, muffins. I reckon they've done their dash.

(20:13):
One of those snacks that flew too close to the
sun are now falling anyway, So there we go. It's muffat.
So we when the day of the week it is
today is not very exciting, but looking for it is
International Pipe Smoking Day. When was the last time you
saw someone smoking a pipe? I'd say it'd be a
long long time. For a while there, I did think

(20:34):
very seriously of smoking a pipe, and I did explore
vaping through a pipe, but the shops I went to
thought I was wanding a different sort of a pipe,
and that became confusing. I found a Dutch company that
was selling walnut burr pipes with vape coils, and so

(20:56):
you could smoke vaping liquid with all the boho cachet
of a pipe. But when I thought, well, why do
I want to spend for free dollars on a pipe?
And I decided it was probably pretentious and a ridiculous
self absorbed path to go down. So I never went
that way. Mind you, I've never seen anyone smoking a

(21:19):
vape pipe. So you might be a student off to
university if your first lectures, and might want to looking
for something to set you apart from the crowd. It
might be something worth exploring, but you can buy them
but just not at the vape stores here. So yeah,
but then again, you can't get the good smelling tobacco

(21:40):
like the Balkham Riff or the pipe tobacco. All those
vape flavors are sort of cherry gum, cinnamon and ghastly things,
so you don't get a good tobacco smelling tobacco. And anyway,
we're trying to go smoke free, aren't we. It maybe
a long time since the old nails for me might
be twenty years. I'll keep my Daia with a score. Jiff, Jeff,

(22:02):
it's Marcus. Good evening, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (22:07):
Oh yeah, sorry, Marcus. Uh just I don't I don't
go to book sos very often. But there was one
at Mount Long and every one time in the shop there,
and it was a book on Barry Crump.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh yeah, and.

Speaker 9 (22:24):
It was the book was the Life of a good Man. Well,
I don't know, I don't know how good he was,
but it was it was a.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Very Was it a good keen man? Was it a novel?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Nah?

Speaker 9 (22:36):
The Life of a good Man? Okay, okay, it was
actually very interesting the things he got up to. Some good,
some bad. But it was his mate apparently talked him
into writing this book. And uh.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh yeah, certain, so I probably seld more books than anyone.

Speaker 9 (22:59):
Barry Crump, Yeah yeah, uh, I've heard somebody was telling
me about it. Anyway, I bought this book. It was
only about about five dollars. There was a guy standing
behind me and he said to me, I made I'll
give you twenty dollars for the book.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Four times money.

Speaker 9 (23:20):
Nah nah, I said, I've heard all about this guy,
and I want to read the book. But anyway, I've
passed it on to the family. I sent it to
Australia in a Christmas box along with presence in that
and I put this book in there for my daughter
in law because she's a bit of a book room

(23:42):
and apparently she's thoroughly enjoyed today.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
What's a good story?

Speaker 9 (23:46):
Yeah, so I kept it in the family. But apparently
he did write. He wrote several books, I think, and
several adventures. Some of the things he got up, so
it was just proven incredible. I had to laugh. Anyway,
you just leave my muffins alone too, because I love them.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Really, what would you like about because they always seem big,
there always seems that they always seem a lot to
get through and they don't even taste. Yeah, but would
you go to would you go to like a muffin
cafe and get one a giant thing with all that
knife and that giant slab of butter and work your
way through it?

Speaker 9 (24:27):
Yeah, I would rather have I'd rather have a muffin
I a face of cake.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Really really, yeah, I love them.

Speaker 9 (24:35):
I've always been a big ag of them. Whether I've
got bloydberries in them, whether I've got anything on them,
I absolutely love them. And I can't see them getting
knocked off the market. But they might do, you know.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
I think I think it just seems to be a
lot of food to me, a muffin. It seems probably
it's all your calories for the day. But you sound
like you're a bit of a slim rooster, are you, Jeff,
you'd be, you'd be you'd be seventy seven kilos Sorr,
would you be seventy seven kilos?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (25:05):
No, maybe more or less.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
For this way, if I go somewhere and I want
to I want either want to just have a cup
of coffee and something to nber Line, I will always
choose a muffin anytime.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Wow, an amazing the law of talkback, I said, probably
no one I want to talk about muffins straight away.
It's like saying, don't think of an elephant. First thing
you want to do is talk about muffins.

Speaker 9 (25:33):
Well, I just thought i'd bring a muffin.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
No, it's good, it's good you brought up. You're the
talkback whisperer. They want to speak about Berry Crumby endlessly tonight.
He's talkback catnap because he's met everyone. That's the trouble
with crump up and down the countries, meet everyone anyway,
back at you. Anne rang about muffins, but she thought
the muffin was the muff the thing you put your
hand to keep your hand warm. So that was good.

(25:56):
I'm going to we sorted that out, Marcus. Instead of
a muffin, I much prefer a date scorne exactly. It's
not over the top, it's manageable. Date gone. And I
don't think muffin is part of our I shouldn't. That's
part of our culture because we're changing it. But I
don't think we're a muffin country. Yeah, it's got me
beat the whole muffin I don't even know where they
came from, those giant things full of I don't know.

(26:19):
I've got such a strong aversion to them diversion. Instead
of a muffin, I prefer a date scne or a
cheese scne is a savory option, or a cheese gone
is a great thing. It's a thing of wonder, a cheese.
God minds you too, with Fonterra and all that sending
everything overseas hard to make well first time ever? I
agree with Jeff. If Andrew goes to jail his police protection,

(26:44):
you don't have to join him. How will that work?
That would be weird, wouldn't it. Try a lemon and
poppy seed muffin from Wilworth you'll be converted blueberry muffin
from hay Kosty. And why can I beach best muffin anywhere?
Or people feeling the love for the old muffin? Someone

(27:05):
else has been stretch it off Now on the rugby
he's not moving his feet either, which is a worry.
I like it when I'm I don't know what the
commentators are saying, but that was like a real worry.
I'll try to get some more details there. Stephen this
is Marcus Good Evening.

Speaker 10 (27:23):
Good Evening Markets, very crub. It's two books. I've got

together in Gorge Creek many many years ago. And that
till oh, yeah, yep. Joe Jill was she was she

(28:20):

very year and and very sun I've got to know
later on years later, and he was ship at the
r s A and in was perhaps no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (28:46):

Yes, yes, because the light that you go night. Sorry,
the night of the high Ridge earthquake, we I was

in the morning and he said, oh hell, he said,
we just had a big body earthquake in christ Church

(29:28):

the of the earthquake christ Church.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Now, Stephen, two questions for you. Where are you now?

Speaker 10 (29:37):
And Jerry Flat north Shore?

Speaker 3 (29:40):
And what were you doing in the Gorge Creek in
Southwestland in those days? I presum it for late late
sixties early seventies. What were you doing there?

Speaker 10 (29:48):
Yeah, I was managing the Heart Hotel, but we used
to fly down my helicopter to Gorge Creek and taking
supply sounds.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh yeah, to the hunter. Was there a hunting hunting
camp there?

Speaker 10 (30:01):
Yep, yep, Oh yeah, it was a big yeah. Yeah,

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Brilliant Tyler like that be your page turner fourteen to nine,
Looking forward to your call. Thirty eight five the canes

want to be in touch. Eight hundred and eighty today
eighty and nine to nine detext looking forward to what
you've got to say. Very much a part of the

(30:50):
muffin backlash and very much trying to keep you out
with the news around the country tonight and the world.
As I say, if any other royals get arrested, I
will keep you updated on that, monitoring the news lines tonight.
Eight hundred text anything else you've got, feel free to

(31:13):
come through. So yeah, let's be hearing from your people,
looking forward to your calls, muffins and book sales and
anything else. The worst thing about muffins is their size.
I mean, there's never a right sized muffin. They're always massive,
and that must be because the values are cheapest chips
and they don't value what they put into them anyway.

(31:37):
Marcus fifteen forty eight, Charles the first executed Marcus. Some
of my favorite memories as a farm kid was helping
mom make the scones, delivering them to the sharing gang
and helping them scoff a few best cheese scone one
Internet bell Bird Eatery at the Dale Slower Hut. Pretty good.
You go to the Beach Cafe and Vicago they've got
a pretty good cheese scone too. By the way, it's

(31:59):
sort of South and famous. You want to limit yourself
to them though cheese, you would one wan to eat
too many of them. Actually, I've been to the dous
kept did I have a scor on that? And I
want to hear that. I think I think I walked
there and had a shake. John. This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 15 (32:15):
Yes, sir Marcus. I don't want to be a nuisance,
but I just want to put my two bobs with
and about muffins. My mother used to feed his shearers,
and so did my dear wife for years on brand muffins.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Oh no, no, brand muffin's a different thing. We're a
brand muffin. A brand muffin is a delicious thing. No,
I've actually I just I hadn't even thought about those
astill as you said that. I'm all I we I
love a brand muffin, right, but hang on, Oh no,
I've changed my whole tune.

Speaker 15 (32:48):
Well, no, I prefer piplots.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Actually, oh, either it's fine for me. A brand muffin,
a pipelt or a cheese puff.

Speaker 15 (32:59):
Doesn't matter, Marcus. If you're hungry, you'll eat anything.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Not a muffin. Though, I've got my pride, even if
I'm starving, I've got my pride. But a brand muffin
was a delicious thing. Quite different.

Speaker 15 (33:10):
Well, I had fish and chips for tea tonight. That
the first time I've had fish and chips for probably
about oh eight years.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Half a scoop and a piece of fish.

Speaker 15 (33:22):
Two fish and one scoop. But there's enough over for
tomorrow night as well.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Brilliant, that's you're thinking ahead.

Speaker 15 (33:32):
Yes, one other thing, I just like, what was the fish?

Speaker 3 (33:36):
John?

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (33:38):
It was? It came out of the.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Sea, I think one of those.

Speaker 15 (33:43):
And Prince the Prince the prince. Now I'm not sure
whether he's guilty or not. But what is annoying me
about this whole thing is that the poor lighter is
being judged by the media and they just need to
feeding marine and let leon justice.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Rather course, John has family did play twelve million dollars
to that woman. That's not someone that's innocent when you
pay twelve or twelve million pounds actually to frick with fear. Anyway,
I appreciate your points seven to nine your Bobbitt's Marcus,
welcome to the show. Good evening.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, we had there when we were in the bakery.
We used to make them in pie trays and then
send them to Prina Kaki tea rooms. So obviously when
they got them up there, they would cream in out
with them and then sold them to the tourists. We
would also make about a thousand pancakes every couple of
weeks for them as well, So you know, they are
pretty bitch.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
It's terrible they couldn't make their own fruit. It always
I was always surprised they never had a pancake parlor
at the Pancake Rocks. Wouldn't you be common sense? It's
common sense. It's the first thing you do.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Ideally they would done just bring us up and say
they one or a thousand bloody pancakes, and we'd have
done white back at the pancake mix. All over the
bakery and every hot thing there was a cook them
would be cooking.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Did you like Did you like muffins?

Speaker 2 (35:11):
No, not particularly probably one that's a blueberry map and
was eating blueberry. But no, that's not something i'd go
for a choice.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
They must be cheap to make because they make them
so damn big. It's just for greedy people.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
You know.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Well, I couldn't understand why that went on the side
of the pipe, but we Oh, well, I put a
bit of fruit and cream and that on and sell
them to the tourist stuff and pancake tea rooms.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Did you ever make them? Did you ever make a bread muffin?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah, but they wouldn't sell that well.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
But but.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
And not really into that and sort of thing we coasted.
I'm heading away down next down to twice or to
try and catch some salmon next week. So I was
here on that day.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
How will you catch those on one of the canals?

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, well that's theme. I went there and I didn't
catch anything. But I've been looking up on Google and
finding and what I'm supposed to do and when I'm
supposed to use. But I'm not supposed to use. So
we'll see what happens this time.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
If you have any problems and you need some advice
down there. I'm sure there would be plenty of listeners
that would want to tell you what to do. So
I guess a tinkle if you can't, if you're not.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
See well, I don't want to talk too many more people.
I'm going down there because the people are told if
I take you salmon to each one of them, I
don't think bloody can.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Oltre's Yeah, okay, good point, Bob. There's a cafe you
can buy them and you can feed them. But stinks.
What's it with salmon for anyway? Head on midnight. My
name is Marcus. Welcome. It's the muffin backlash. But the
brand muffin is a great thing, So I'll be making
this weekend. Oh yeah, that's it. Yeah, honestly, I haven't
thought about that for probably thirty years. How good they were.

(36:44):
You don't see them round much anymore. Tastes of change,
haven't they welcome? Even people? Oh wait, eighty Teddy nine
nine to text, Ah, Marcus brand muffins with apple delicious
with a whiff of cinnamon. You're right, brand muffin is
a great thing, but not a conventional muffin terrible, so

them with butter.

Speaker 16 (37:33):
No, I just put I just put a butter on them.
Sometimes I might put a bit of a bit of
jam or something like that. But yeah, I usually get
I usually get a packet of six, which is mixed muffins,
and you get too chocolate, too blueberry, and too apple.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
I eat the apple first.

Speaker 16 (38:01):
Yeah, I don't mind which order. I eat the rym.
But I buy them every week. I love them.

There we go, eight past nine. You're that a first
time called a radio on never got anyway you come through?
You might have royal predictions? Also, what's going to happen?
There fifty to ten one Pacificer beaten by the Hurricanes.
Didn't look like a particularly good game. For what I
could see a couple of people taken off on stretches.

(38:31):
You off and see on the old gurney. Well it's
not really gurney, is it. Bret Cavin had a serious
league injury, but someone else was stretched off to I
haven't mentioned them this I was watching and delay. Oh
but yeah, get in touch. Muffins and anything else text

(38:52):
if you've got them, Marcus, the wagon Wheel Bakery and
Morensville have the biggest and best Chelsea buns well worth
it for only three dollars each. They be losing money,
wouldn't They must be a lost leader. There'd be my pick. Oh,
I don't mind it Elsey bun either, not onely thing
at the ververy bottom for me would be the muffin.
Got an opinion about something, don't you? Hittel twelve Marcus,

(39:15):
till midnight? Anything else you want to pine about? Talk about?
Say mention if you've got breaking us to us? Now
what that is? Jim steedhen from twelve.

Speaker 17 (39:24):
Um, Yeah, now I'm just thinking, Oh, don't ever got
any chance to get anyone medals at the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
But someone let me know no doubt. Of course, Sunday
is fifteen years since the christ jer quake. I am
not saying that to get people to ring and talk
about that, because I don't think that's the right thing
to do always. But I'm just saying that we are
acknowledging that passing of time. So fifteen years this Sunday.

(39:59):
I can tell you that now no one's rung that
smokes a pipe, and that's fine. But if that is you,
then this is your show. We are talking about pipes.
Seems like the Edinburgh tattoo. You got a fairly good review.
Not my jam, but now there's reviews comparing it to
the original they put to press and promotion to I

(40:22):
think it goes for a couple of nights. Might be wrong,
but yes, hit or twelve o'clock you want to partake,
lines are free, anything goes. It's the Friday free full
as I've said, oh eight hundred and eighty today there's
something else you want to mention tonight, but a sport
on we are talking muffins and book sales Chinese New Year.
There's still fireworks tonight or is that stop now I

(40:44):
know people struggle with that. Muffins terrible. The soup make
half a doesn't they fall apart? Can't give away good
puddings though, just poor milk over. It's so damn expensive,
about seven dollars half a dozen for four falling apart
could make some, but can't be by the baking fair enough.
They're trapped, Marcus. More bus lanes planned christ which already

(41:12):
has many. I've viewed bus lanes on YouTube around five
larger UK cities. Have never noticed one lane except a
couple in central London. Maybe the buses were on them, Marcus.
I totally love a brand muffin. No one makes them
anymore if you don't make them yourself. Where could you
buy a brand muffin? Let's turn this into a positive
that where could you buy a brand muffin in New Zealand?

(41:34):
Does anyone still make them? I reckon Target it could
be the place for those. Where could you get a
brand muffin with apple? There's to be such a popular thing,
but you never see them. Have to be a fairly
kind of boho cafe to sell those. Don't know where
they would be. Someone might know I'm drank drawing a
blank on that total blank. This might be the sort

(41:55):
of thing you get like at a oh, like a
Cleveton farmers market. Be on the Buffalo Mozzarelli. You might
get some muffins. That's my pick.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
There.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Hello, Susie, this is Marcus. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 14 (42:12):
How are you ten.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Out of ten? Susie?

Speaker 9 (42:14):
This end good.

Speaker 15 (42:16):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 18 (42:17):
Copelands has the most beautiful West Brand muffins. They are
so and they're so moist, Marcus, how moist, very moist.
They are absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
They can do it all Copland's, can't they There's nothing
they can't do.

Speaker 19 (42:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (42:31):
And when I used to work at H and J.
Smith there was none of this mixture out of a bag.
They made them some scratch. We used to make pumpkin muffins,
doughnut muffins.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Didn't do them any good though, did it?

Speaker 20 (42:45):
No?

Speaker 21 (42:47):
Definitely not.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Markets should have said shouldn't have said that. I was
at the second hand shop the other day and gee,
the woman there was a fish. I said, Gee, you're
good at this, so I should be. I'm from H
and J. Smith's, all right, I thought, well, that's why
she was one of the very good person at retail.
But good honor for still getting big in the saddle.
I thought, well done here.

Speaker 18 (43:08):
Yeah, I work at the habitat, do you Yeah, I
do voluntary work there.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Absolutely love that too much stuff though? You go down
that side thing with the container, isn't that sports? Gosh?
It is cluttered though, isn't it?

Speaker 16 (43:20):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (43:20):
It is, Marcus, yere, I.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Go on there something I can find it a bit overpowering, yeah, yeah,
but good with couches and desks and furnitures and stuff.
It used to be a supermarket, didn't it.

Speaker 18 (43:31):
Yes, it did more years and years ago, well before
my time.

Speaker 15 (43:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Do you get first pick of the stuff when you
work in places like that? Don't say if you want
to get in trouble.

Speaker 18 (43:42):
I stopped when I first used to go over there, Marcus,
years and years ago. I bought hate to the start,
But I've declouded now. But if you see, you're allowed
to put it away, and as long as you get
it the next day or something.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Because it would be tempting when you first go there.
You would become a hoarder, wouldn't you. Then you got
stuff falling down around your ease at home, Then you
got to seen it all back.

Speaker 18 (44:03):
Definitely, definitely any bowling, any bowling balls, I have noticed
any Marcus.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Or I'll keep a NYE for those, Thank you, Susie.
There we go, Well, gem Irons, they're always good. Oh wait,
one hundred eighty ten eighty There no Copelands of the
brand muffin. But you can't get them out anymore. Well
I can't. I haven't seen them for a long time.
I'm looking at Copeland's. Discover the beauty of a Humble

(44:34):
brand sweet apple and golden syrup. Delicious and wholesome, perfect
for morning tear, a quick snack on the go, seven
percent brand. Oh good on them, Calvin, Marcus, good.

Speaker 21 (44:48):
Evening, Good evening to your Marcus. Now, forget about muffins.
I grew up on the understanding and never eat anything
your grandmother wouldn't recognize. My grandmother wouldn't have known anything
about muffins.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Ever tried sushi? No, yes, would your grandmother recognize that?
Probably not?

Speaker 21 (45:07):
No, I didn't. I didn't recognize that black plastic thing
around there side either. What I wrung up about Marcus
is Eccles cake.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Don't get me started.

Speaker 21 (45:17):
That's the only ones to have Eckles cakes and I'll
tell you what in the tron here. They're very hard
to find.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
I get mine from the Farmer's Market at Dunedin. But
I had a caller the other night who said, what's
your favorite biscuit? I said, equals cake. They said, it's
not a biscuit, but to me, it is almost like
a biscuit. It's almost like a garabit.

Speaker 21 (45:35):
It's sort of an oval pastry shape with three slots
on the top and inside it's got that secret recipe
of fruit and a few other bits and pieces in it.
It's got a couple of secret things. And get what
it is.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
You got lemon, zest and sugar and spice. It's probably
got I don't know what spices would be, and there
there'd be cinnamon, but there'd be something else like a
cardaman would there be? Or have you managed to get
one in Hamilton, Calvin, I did.

Speaker 21 (46:12):
I rung up a place in the main street, Victoria Street,
and they had them there, so I called in after
watching some rowing regattas, which was very unusual on the
way Keta River in recent years. And anyway, I called
in them. But when you're buy them from a you know,

(46:32):
a cafe that pretty pricey a as opposed to buying
them from a bakery, but they were delicious.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
I caught the train to Hamilton. So what's it called?

Speaker 22 (46:44):
Who is.

Speaker 21 (46:46):
To hear you?

Speaker 3 (46:47):
The Hamilton train And on the first day it was
back I think sometime in January, and it deposited me
in a strange part of town, right yes, And I
thought i'd walk to the main street. So I found
myself at the lake called Lake Roa is it?

Speaker 11 (47:09):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (47:09):
The name of the lake a row r o t
o r o A very pleasant with the playground there.
I met the kids there and Vanisa and they turned
up and I think they've got a drink. I did
some reading about the lake, right what a what a
troubled history? That said they dropped fifty tons of arsenic
in it?

Speaker 21 (47:29):
Well whatever? He used to have an island in the
middle of it they removed. I used to swim out.
I told myself to float dog pedal and swim in
the Hamilton lake. You would train, Yeah, that train when
I was a youngster, before I was even a teenager.
My parents must have been trying to get rid of me.
They to flip me on the train at Frankton. One

(47:51):
of the suburbs of Hamilton and I would catch a
train up to Auckland and had and some of the
characters had dark green colored leather seats and you could
have flipped them around the other way, and others had
dark yep and flipping over. So the old train trip
from Hamilton to Auckland was just an ordinary everyday occurrence,

(48:13):
whereas nowadays it's all some special made up layer.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Rubbish, some special made up load of rubbish.

Speaker 21 (48:22):
Yep, you've got it.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
I got the train at nine thirty right, and just
about everyone on it was gold card people that would
just go down and back for the day.

Speaker 21 (48:32):
Excellent.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Yeah, weird, don't it. That's all they did. They went
down and I'm a refriendly group of people, elderly people
at jet Jet Jet Jet, and it was like their
regular club, like rather than going to the pub, they'd
get the train to Hamilton and turn around and go back.

Speaker 21 (48:47):
Well, I quite often leave my motor car one owner
me ninety eighty four Telstar and my garage here at
home and I've got two bus services outside what commonly
call my front gate, but there's no gate there as such,
and I get that into the movies on a Tuesday afternoon, normally.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Okay, what's your oscar buzz? Watching what gets the best.

Speaker 21 (49:09):
Picture this year? I absolutely enjoyed Twiggy. I saw it
four times. Fantastic movie, all the people in it, even
Twiggy singing recording with Bing Crosby. The average person wouldn't.
The average person didn't know anything about Twiggy, but the

(49:29):
movie he said it all. And I enjoyed Prime Minister
all about.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Will they get an oscar best Documentary?

Speaker 21 (49:39):
I wonder, Well, I'll tell you what the documentary I
held off seeing it called Pike Pike River and in
it it's got Dame Ja Cinder Adrn acting as Jacinda Dune.
Prime Minister. Did you see it?

Speaker 9 (49:55):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (49:56):
I thought it was fantastic.

Speaker 21 (49:58):
And did you see Bill bill Rolling in it? I
know Bill Rolling was in Fred Dagg the movie Freg
Bill Roy. Did you see Bill Rolling in it?

Speaker 2 (50:11):
I did?

Speaker 3 (50:11):
Haven't seen the Free dag on you.

Speaker 21 (50:13):
Well, look out for Bill Rolling. You see a motor
car with a bonnet up. Another car pulls up beside it,
and the champ and a flash suit gets out and
you only see him from the back side view and
he walks up to the other motor car and says
good aid to Fred Dagg and that's Bill rolling. But
the average New Zealander, unlike you and me, wouldn't have

(50:34):
even know who the hell he was.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
You wouldn't. They wouldn't recommend swimming in that lake, now
would they.

Speaker 21 (50:40):
The Helmund City Council HCC are using some of my
rates to start a twofold method of cleaning it all up. Okay,
so it'll be swimmable again. And the white A River
is beautiful for swimming in. I just swim across and
back with a maid of mine who's not here and there,

(51:02):
swim across on the old angle, go with the flow, Joe,
and it was excellent, very cold water. And the White
at A River on a hot summer day, blue sky.
You go in the river and it's very chilly, brilliant.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
Nice to talk to you, Calvin, Thank you for that
twenty three past nine. Ah what was I going to say? Oh?
Look a very good text from someone who said that,
and this is something that I endorse, and it brought
back even further memories. I think Margaret was his name.
I made brand muffins this morning, usually with banana, but
fijo as have just come into season even better. Yeah,

(51:39):
and it's Margaret from Winton. But yeah, a Fijoa muffin
that was very much part of our childhood was a
brand muffint Fijo's delicious. The sweet tartness of the fijoas
and the the no nonsenseness of the of the brand.
Fancy me churning on the microphone tonight say I was
anti muffins and then realizing that actually a brand muffin
was one of the great things. Marcus Yeast Coast Bakery

(52:02):
and napy do a great brand muffin, moister than an oyster,
shouted with our people. Napur'ed there for the Deco festival
seems to go Gangbuster. Is not for me because I
don't like that style of clothing and it freaks me out.
But yeah, people say that's one of the great festivals
of all time. Portstone Nursery Pharraoid Crost, which has a
cafe which has the best brand muffins ever. My favorite

(52:26):
is black currant and lemon curd. The cafe at Bethlehem
sure was retirement village and to longer sells brand muffins.
Surely your retirement village would never cafe, would it?

Speaker 5 (52:37):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Next thing's the next thing? You know, the cafes that
we're having retirement villages, won't they? What's that in the
corner was doing a concrete job. They found an old inn,
bit of an old tobacco pipe and an old bottle.
Karl and Nanak Marcus. We tried this cake for the
first time we scenting here in Croystrich. It was called
tray lesh cake delicious Mexican. Haven't tried that cafe tray

(53:02):
lesh cake, lesh cake. I'll google what that is because
I've got no our lines free if you want to
partake in the show too. The way, by the way,
two people, it's pretty loose. Tray Lesh means three milks,
a sponge cake originating in Latin America. Soain three kinds
of milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and a whole milk,

(53:27):
no nut milk top with whod cream, fruit and cinnamon.
No good for the lacto's intolerant. No good for just
the intolerant. There we go, trailing. Gosh, we're broadening is
an audience. What does Calvin's mother say? Wouldn't it anything
that my mother that my grandmother wouldn't recognize a Wow,

(53:51):
that's excess. I'm gonna say, isn't it. It's not try
anything you anyway if you want to partake. If it's
something we're talking about the royal family obviously, because people,
you know, the chattering crass is going on and on
about that. You might have some predictions. I say, William
King by Christmas, but you know I could be wrong.
Fluffy monster cakerie cream layer sponge with full strawberry oreos

(54:12):
and ganesh. I don't like anything cooked with oreos. I
think that to make a biscuit then destroy a biscuit
to make something else, I think that's breaks one of
the laws of entropy. To me, I don't. I think
that's crazy to get to make it by a biscuit,
then smashed the biscuit to turn to something else. I've
got a real strong negatives about that. I won't have

(54:33):
anything with oreos and it's not even a biscuit for
my generation. Shed that's back to Calvin's his grandmother's exiom.
But yeah, when did they start appearing? The oreos there
everywhere now? Anyho US fighter jets launched as five Russian
warplanes are spotted heading towards a LASCA. Doesn't look good,
does it. That's breaking news. I'll do a deep dive
into that. Could be a mistake for Norrad. That's a

(54:55):
North American Aerospace Defense Command. But yeah, I'll bring you
more updates on that. Oh boy, there's photos of them
too on and it's his file footage. She's looking grim,
but get in touch. Twenty nine away from ten, we
are talking muffins. It's muffin darted. The think we get
a nine on muffins, but you never know. We've got
Kelvin with his old edage. If your mother can't grandmother

(55:16):
can't recognize it, don't eat it. I've discovered that great
love of brand muffins, and we were very much a
brand muffin family with fijoas with Apple very much. Often
don't even know what what recipe it was. Could will
have been one of Alis and Holst. I think you
did a muffin book. So that's gonna this is going

(55:38):
to be. It's not one of my predictions. I just
know it's going to happen. It's going to be the
year of the brand. Brand muffins are coming back, Carrot
cakes coming back. Oh, that's the A League.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Dan.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
We wanted the women of fifty six for the women. Okay,
I thought that does look like women, Dan, I thought
that you got that one wrong. You know, we're remote
only change his channels once it's got rest stiff buttons.
Oh that's the volume. Hey, come on, people, if you
want to talk to me? Who knew that rest homes

(56:05):
head cafes our retirement vision will get that right, don't I? Marcus.
If Andrew mount Batten Windsor has ever prosecuted, it will
be the crown visits some brother against brother of re
sad regards Jenny, I don't think that's something should be
considered really sad when we might see justice being served.
There'd be my take on that one. How are you going,

(56:27):
people and listen to land Feel free to come through
if you want to join the fray. Here till twelve
minamers Marcus at good evening? Oh eight hundred eighty text
Old Lionel did muffin? Didn't he? At the cafe? And
Shorten Street was always going about Lionel's muffins. Famous Angus.
It's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
By Marcus Angus.

Speaker 23 (56:51):
I was just ringing up to talk about muffins. My
favorite muffin. I still love the Baker's, the light chocolate
chip muffin. Really yeah, but what was you? Yeah, they
changed the recipe and I was big appointment.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Well they change it from buttered to margarine or something.

Speaker 23 (57:11):
I got one recently. I just sort of felt like
that nostalgic and I go on and they changed the recipe.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
So describe the taste of a Baker's. It's just like
a lot of it's just egg and sugar and butter
and then with chocolate chips. Is that right?

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (57:26):
Well yeah, yeah, basically basically just that. But you know
I used to I used to get them a lot
when I was younger, So it's just just quite nostalgic
for me. But disappointed that they change the recipe.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Would it be iced?

Speaker 2 (57:40):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (57:41):
Sorry, I think I think I'm actually thinking of muffin break,
not Bakers.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
Yeah, you probably. I think Baker's Delight has the cheesey
might scroll. I think that's always good.

Speaker 24 (57:51):
That's right.

Speaker 23 (57:51):
Actually, back the Life's got some good stuff.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
Though, Yeah, Baker's, and it's all out the front that
you can see just pointed out. They grabbed that we
don't have them down South. But yeah, they still a thing.
Baker's Delight.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
Yeah, yeah, there's heaps, right, Okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
I'll see if I can speak with chef of what
they would have done to the recipe at Muff and Break.
I think Muff and Breaks is it an American franchise.

Speaker 23 (58:12):
I'm not sure, but I mean, since we're going downhill,
they used to be everywhere.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Yeah, well, I guess that's the modern economy, isn't it. Yeah,
that it's I don't even know where Muff and Break
comes from. I'll sort, I'll sort that. Anything else from you, Angus,
not much? Oh no, it's just Australia, New Zealand and
the UK. I really started started in Canad. Australia started
in Canada, and then the first of the new star

(58:38):
Muff and Break stores open and cool and get a Queensland.
There's been New Zealand since nineteen ninety four.

Speaker 23 (58:45):
Yeah, because the one I can remember was in Pocket
on a plaza up here in Auckland, which itself has
gone down whole lot.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Oh they already struggled with that a yeah, yes, I mean.

Speaker 23 (58:58):
It used to be quite good really, but basically empty now.

Speaker 3 (59:02):
Yeah, okay, we'll talk more about that. Good on your
thanks Angus. Here we go hit, it'll twe What do
you got? Twenty four to ten muffins, muff and break
and anything goes. Basically if you want to talk on air,
that's the plan. I've got the game up from the
Phoenix Women versus Melbourne Victory. MVC doesn't look like Melbourn

(59:25):
Victory doesn't look like another word and that I don't
know what that is? Twenty four away from ten? What's
Heather saying? Twenty two to ten hollow moodoc ats? Marcus
good evening, good.

Speaker 25 (59:37):
Dame, I guess yeah, just driving back from Carfrey and
who you're talking about? Muffins And I actually got a
muffin on the way down there. And I found lately
my experiences that it's very very hard to buy a
good bought muffins from from a bakery or they all
just offentially cakes.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
Yeah, they are just cakes. It's just a giant bit
of cake, a giant bit of dry cake with it.

Speaker 24 (59:56):
I mean, I don't know whether most of them even
use that's pre made better, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
Though I think it probably, yeah, I think it probably
is a very cheap thing to make and they just
people sort of people eat their eyes. That that's big.
God buy that and oh yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:00:09):
That's I think I got to say, is the size
of them these days?

Speaker 13 (01:00:11):
They are you know, the.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Real seeing Because where did you get like from some
truck stop? Is that where you got it from?

Speaker 5 (01:00:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:00:18):
Yeah, some some bakery and Huntley So I shouldn't have
been but but no, it was had a nice pie.
But you know, that was very good appointing.

Speaker 26 (01:00:25):
Scan's.

Speaker 24 (01:00:25):
On the other hand, I find that a good skan
has quite and cafes and so forth.

Speaker 23 (01:00:30):
He's got a good dakes gone And I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
I wouldn't disparage the bakeries of Huntley.

Speaker 25 (01:00:35):
Ah, but I did think get some chat on the
way back and they were very good.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
I was blessed have to go to a bakery and
Huntley with Twitter and Eco when we were filming I
forget what. We were doing a story with bank. It
was about the railways. But he took me to some
bakery and it was quite a good one. I can't
even remember what it was. It was a famous baked bakery.
But anyway, and I think that there was I think
there was a bakery and Huntley. This year that won

(01:01:01):
the Pie of the Year competition. Also it was the
it was was the pie of the year or something?
It had a quince or.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Damn? Hang on, hang on?

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
It was?

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
What was it was a.

Speaker 26 (01:01:15):
Fig or yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Some was it a rhubarb thing?

Speaker 9 (01:01:22):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:01:23):
Yeah, it was, it was it was I think it
was a almost something like a dessert, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
It was a rhubarb and rowsberry pie. Huntley's Main Street.

Speaker 5 (01:01:32):
Cafe actually got there.

Speaker 24 (01:01:34):
But did you go down and look at these old
steam trains down there, ge, because I think they're still
sitting there, aren't.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
They the gear I think they're from. I think they're
from Zimbabwe? Are they?

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Yeah, no, I thought that I caught that train from
work just to see what it was like to who
here from Auckland down to Hamilton, just to see what
that was like, and that was kind of interesting.

Speaker 24 (01:01:52):
But yeah, yeah, But the saying a good scorn is
a lot easier if you got a cafe. There's a
lot a good scand out a.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Lot more reliable too, and Kiwis do scan as well,
but you'd never order them. If it was a choice
been a muff and a sky on, No one would
order a muff.

Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
No, no, you did right there.

Speaker 21 (01:02:08):
It's not very key at all.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
And you wouldn't heat them up. You wouldn't heat it
up either. There's nothing you can do with them. It's
just cold and and unforgiving.

Speaker 5 (01:02:16):
Yeah, no it was.

Speaker 24 (01:02:17):
Yeah, he'sn't much of it. But yeah, I'm sure it
was just that cheap next thing.

Speaker 5 (01:02:21):
By these days, I.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Wonder why a you're buying something that you don't like,
That's the real question.

Speaker 24 (01:02:25):
I was just hungry and it was like four thirty
in the afternoon, and that's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
That's not a good decision. Why why we even off
the motorway? Why are you driving through Huntley?

Speaker 24 (01:02:33):
I was going to Kaffia.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Is it the way now?

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
No?

Speaker 24 (01:02:37):
I was, well, it is to go to Kaffe.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
I went across.

Speaker 22 (01:02:40):
I'd go to the post office, post.

Speaker 24 (01:02:41):
Office and Huntley pick up something from there. Then I
had to drop it off in Kafia. So that was yeah, yeah,
there's the way to go.

Speaker 5 (01:02:48):
Actually, we'll be okay.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
You seem to know. Okay, oh, good muffin discussion. We're
not thank you eighteen to ten here or twelve Ellison.
It's Marcus Greaving and welcome.

Speaker 27 (01:03:00):
You've got me wanting it brand muff in there. I
did go into the Cooplan website and yeah, she could
brand muffin five eighty for six, so quite a good price.
And they've got apple in them, so that would be
your best bit. And they don't look too big, and
they look very nice.

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
I don't think they look greeny enough, don't you?

Speaker 18 (01:03:17):
Oh?

Speaker 27 (01:03:17):
I thought they looked quite good. But now something else
I wanted about ginger gyms. You don't seem to be
able to buy them. I look beladers they can find
them ginger. I can get ginger kisses and I don't
particularly want that. But where would you get ginger gems from?

Speaker 8 (01:03:28):
I wonder what was so.

Speaker 3 (01:03:30):
Peculiar about the ginger gym in it? They need their
own special tray. I always thought that was weird.

Speaker 27 (01:03:35):
Yeah, but they're rather nice though. You had to get
the tray at the right heat, and you couldn't too
much put too much baking sod. You had to watch
how much baking soda when? I do know that. But
they were really nice when they were too big and
I just looked just the right size.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
Would you just think it was yeah? Yeah? Would you
eat them with butter?

Speaker 27 (01:03:54):
As they came well, I had every bit of butter
on them. Yes, but you had to hit them when
when really hot. But I do know you had to
get the temperature really really hot. You didn't get the
right temperature where the baking soda wouldn't quite go right.
You had to get them at the right heat. That
they were years ago. I haven't had them for years,
of course, but I used to buy quite a lot

(01:04:15):
from kind of Lovely Christmas Mint five and then they
reduced them from twelve to nine their packet and I
thought I'll blow And I didn't go back and get
anything after that because I passed off the.

Speaker 21 (01:04:25):
Packet.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
Alison, it's hard to have principles because then you had
to do without.

Speaker 27 (01:04:29):
You do without there, don't do that's right. You've got
to go back then after that and put that to
a side and just buy something else. Yeah, after that?

Speaker 28 (01:04:36):
Yeah, okas to.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Hear from here, there you go, Allison. Yeah, I'm the
same with my night and day after the two dollars
of sauce. But yeah, there's nothing I wanted the night
and day. It's all just sugar, is it rubbish? So
I'm happy not to be there now. Now they're going
to charge two dollars for sauce. But yeah, I'm happy
with my line in the scene. I've got there, Gail Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 29 (01:04:59):
Oh hello Marcus. I just wanted to tell you that
I've got lineal shortened street muffin recipe.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
You put in a book, didn't he on Lionel's Muffins?

Speaker 29 (01:05:13):
Yes, And my kids bought it for me for Christmas
one year because we always used to watch us. So
we used to watch and walk out with his tray,
and we'd always talk about the different flavors that were
in the air.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
He was a great character when Lionel had the cafe.

Speaker 29 (01:05:35):
Absolutely and so used to kids bought me this book
and I've keept it and I use it often because
it has got some really lovely recipes.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Or not, Now who might who would the recipes spe
because I know the actor and I don't think he'd
be a great shift. Who's whose would they be?

Speaker 29 (01:05:58):
I've got no idea. It's just called Lionel's recipe. And
but my favorite and you'll probably tear your hair out,
My favorite carrots, silver beet and.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Muscles in a muffin in a.

Speaker 29 (01:06:23):
Muffin, And it sounds disgusting, but the blom and delicious.

Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
What time of the day would eat those?

Speaker 29 (01:06:33):
Oh for an entree?

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Really?

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Muscle, silver beet and carrot?

Speaker 29 (01:06:39):
Did you say yes?

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Is it in Lionel's muffins?

Speaker 9 (01:06:46):
Yes?

Speaker 29 (01:06:47):
And the kids and I tried it as an experiment
on Google.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Is it called what is it called carrot?

Speaker 29 (01:06:55):
It's called carrot? Oh, God, and muscle and it's some
Lionel's from recipeople. And the kids and I tried it
as an experiment because we never believed it was going
to work and it was so delicious.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Do you chop the muscles up?

Speaker 29 (01:07:21):
Year, Yeah, you chop them into weibads as you do
with the carrot and the silver bait. But they are
really tasty.

Speaker 3 (01:07:32):
I'm let's see if I can find the hard copy
of that. Gail, thank you very much for that. Ten
Away from ten. You're Victor. This is Marcus welcome. Hello, yes, receiving.

Speaker 6 (01:07:49):
Yeah, I'm just reading about the talk about why it's
not an arrest that he's just been taking down the
local cop shop to have a chit chat about. It's
to do with more As Fundation, which he was working
on where he had a number of different he had

(01:08:14):
a number of he was it was kind of like
a Board of Trade thing where he would.

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Be Sorry, Victor, yesterday he was arrested.

Speaker 6 (01:08:23):
Well, he wasn't arrested.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
He was arrested.

Speaker 6 (01:08:26):
He hasn't been arrested. He's just been he.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Was he was arrested, he was arrested, he hasn't been charged.

Speaker 6 (01:08:33):
So he's been arrested but not charged.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Yeah, that's the way the justice system works.

Speaker 6 (01:08:38):
Yeah. So basically at this stage, he's seen that they
want to talk to him. I think it was to
do with his Board of Trade thing which he was
working on, and apparently he was getting people around from
these different countries who they wanted to do the author
and he's getting them to come around and have a

(01:09:00):
look at the throne room and stuff like that, areas
which normally would be all limits to ordering people.

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
I think I think this is the news for the
last twenty one hour. I think everyone knows the details
he's charged with. When he was the official trading boy,
that he was releasing sensitive information that was confidential to Epstein.
This was situations about deals in Afghanistan, about places in
Singapore and things like that. He was releasing them within

(01:09:29):
five minutes of receiving them.

Speaker 6 (01:09:32):
I was sending stuff to Epstein sensitive trade information, yeah,
for these different countries. Yeah and yeah, so that's it's
very interesting. I don't know, it just simply seems to

(01:09:53):
be like in the towel on the Donkey. At this stage,
it'll be interesting CFO can act.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
His family played paid twelve million pounds to that woman
Jaffear who was in that. So you don't pay twelve
million pounds to anyone. That's pretty much an admission of
guilt is in it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
Yeah, Yeah, that's true. But also they'd want to put
a lid on it pretty quick, I'd imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Well, there's all sorts of scandals with him.

Speaker 6 (01:10:24):
Well, the picture which if you watched the Netflix docco
basically Epstein Sorothy Rich basically shows it all about everything
that that he was getting up to and the connection
which he had was with Epstein at the time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
So what did you ring about? Did you ring about
the information that he wasn't arrested.

Speaker 6 (01:10:56):
Yeah, he hasn't been formally charged yet.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
He has been arrested. He was arrested.

Speaker 6 (01:11:03):
He's been arrested.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
Yeah, said you said he wasn't.

Speaker 6 (01:11:07):
Well not arrested in that way. He's not, I mean
being put in a cell.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
He was arrested and putting a cell for twelve hours.

Speaker 6 (01:11:18):
Yeah he might have been, but what if they charged.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
Them with I don't know, but you're that's what you're.

Speaker 6 (01:11:26):
Yet anyway back with the Falklands War and all that
sort of thing is actually a.

Speaker 5 (01:11:33):
Lot of hope.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Are moving on. Sorry, Victor, I just yeah, sorry, I
mean I just can't quite work you out. But it's fine.
Good even, Jillian. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:11:42):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 30 (01:11:44):
I know where you can get ginger gems, but you
might have to go for a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
Of a drive.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
Sure, I think it's not so much meats for the
others that are wanting them.

Speaker 30 (01:11:53):
Okay, Well it's Bakerman's Fendleton more.

Speaker 21 (01:11:57):
Than christ Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:12:01):
I look on their website.

Speaker 30 (01:12:02):
Yep, they have they have a long counter in the
in a little side one at the end, and they
are usually in that little side counter at the end.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
They've got two counters.

Speaker 30 (01:12:14):
Oh well, it's I don't know, No, they really had
a room to go long ways.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
It's like a great shop, great product.

Speaker 21 (01:12:22):
Yep.

Speaker 30 (01:12:22):
They have all sorts of amazing things.

Speaker 26 (01:12:27):
Yep.

Speaker 30 (01:12:29):
My favorite thing is either an apricot or an almond rondo?

Speaker 3 (01:12:35):
Are the meaning round? Is that right?

Speaker 30 (01:12:38):
Yeah? It's sort of oval?

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
A huge range. What do they need? They've got echos
cakes that look delicious?

Speaker 30 (01:12:45):
Yep, they are delicious.

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
We all have an echle cake and ginger dm is
two fifty each. I'm seeing them there.

Speaker 13 (01:12:51):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
What a huge range.

Speaker 30 (01:12:53):
And they appear in ginger part thing that's absolutely delicious
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
You want a ninish tart. You don't see them so
often anymore. They're a classic.

Speaker 26 (01:13:06):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
You want to limit yourself how often you went there?

Speaker 30 (01:13:09):
Oh, you're about once a month?

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
I reckon they'd be about right.

Speaker 26 (01:13:12):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
I can't see the one you're referring to, but I'm
looking at all the others. The long tremendous. It's like
a oh I'm other Streuzels now strusl slice.

Speaker 21 (01:13:21):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Well, wow it looks like berry or peach or something,
does it too?

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (01:13:26):
They have all sorts of different ones, savory ones.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
Now where are we Bakerman's Fendleton Yep, brilliant. Okay, there
we go. Goodness making us all very hungry tonight? How
are you going?

Speaker 21 (01:13:40):
People?

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
What's up in there? And listen land. Feel free to
come through. Hen till twelve. Someone found that recipe. I couldn't.
They've done better than me on the old Google. It's
for the muscle. Good evening. All welcome Marcus till twelve
o'clock tonight. Jim Snedden from twelve. If you want to
partake in the show, feel free to come through. The
number is eight hundred and eighty ten. All the lines

(01:14:01):
are free. We are talking what is muffin Day? And
I was gonna how much if the slight muffins. I'll
started thinking about brand muffins, which were a great thing.
Then we've gone through the usual suspects, Garibaldi cakes or
Garibaldi biscuits, Echos cakes, and ginger gems. Some of the

(01:14:23):
old ones are coming back, aren't they anyhow? That's the
we have gone so far, talking about the duned and
twenty for our book, well, twenty for our book sale.
That's on tonight. If you're winging you way down to
the Descinda, that's where the bargains and the biblio files
are and that's the place you want to be tonight.

(01:14:43):
Now what else I got for you? Let me think
anything goes tonight. We are also talking about the commoner
formerly known as Prince Andrew and what this will mean
for him. Will William be king by Christmas? That's how
you could cauterize the whole thing thing. I will someone
you and a fresh generation be a smart move the narrative.

(01:15:07):
Yes anyway, So if you want to comment on that
also tonight, that would be good to hear from you.
But basically it she will show with the other stuff
you want to bang on about. Then that's the planned
stand still knill All in the Women's Phoenix. So I'm
focusing on tonight. By the way, it's become a reo
very famous photo that one of Andrew slumped in his

(01:15:31):
car was a photographer from Manchester came all the way
down to take that. Yep, Acting on a tip, the
photograph headed to Alisham, a historical market town. There are
only a few other journalists there. For six or seven hours,
nothing happened, Darkness fell. The station was more than now
from Mount Batton's home, and it appeared they had chowsed

(01:15:51):
the wrong location. The pair booked hotel rooms and Noble
packed up his gear and drove off. Minutes later, Davidson
called to say the cars had arrived. He turned back
reached the station just as two vehicles left at speed.
He aimed at the second car and fired as flash
aptioned six frames. Two showed police, two were blank, one
was out of focus, one captured Mount Batten wins. It

(01:16:13):
clearly good story. You can plan and use your experience
to know roughly what you need to do, but still
everything needs to line when you're doing car shots. It's
more luck than judgment, he said. He was simply relieved
the image confirmed it was him. It was a proper
old school newsday, a guy being arrested who could be
called tracking him down there we go. Should have worn

(01:16:35):
a hat. That'd have been a better thing to do.
That's the photo. It's become one of the iconic photos,
probably from news anyhow. Welcome if you want to partake. Oh,
if you've got breaking news where you are. I hope
the weather's calmed down after a revery wet week, although
it's been fairly patchy down south today. Melbourne have just
scored at the situation ten past ten. The Warriors lost

(01:16:59):
to the Dolphins thirty four thirty eight. I like that.
I like it when they lose in the preseason. I
think the preseason indicates any thing, it tends to indicate
the opposite. That's what I've always thought. But yeah, that's
the planned people. If you want to talk about anything
at all tonight. The Edmunds carrot cake you only need

(01:17:20):
half a cup of sugar is quite sweet. But add
twice them under carrots for you're filling and nice. Someone
says carrots, silver beet muscle muffin. Duly noted for the quiz.
What would that question be? And what famous cookbook was
the carrots, silver beet and muscle muffin? That would probably
do it? Lionel's Muffins. Robert Harris At totally sells ginger gems.

(01:17:46):
Sir Robert harris At totally Now where would that be?
So get in touch people. My name is Marcus Good Evening, Hi.
I have a little catering business where I make souper
and a jar a different flavor each week, and also
a different muffin each week. Peach and cream, cheese, cherry
and dark chocolate, black bir and sour cream, raspberry and

(01:18:08):
white chocolate apple crumble all really popular. Wow. Soup and
a jar. Healthy's brand flakes have a great recipe on
the back. I add stewed apple pieces to my brand muffins.
My partner loves them. Marcus. I made dog friendly muffins
for my dog today, along with biscuits made with egg oats, banana, peanut,

(01:18:29):
butter and flour. I tried one, yummy. What what a
dog friendly muffin? Haven't it? You even got any idea?
Got no idea what a dog friendly muffin would contain?
Dog friendly muffin? Banana and peanut flavor drives them crazy?
Do you think dogs should bedding muffins? Really feel a

(01:18:49):
bit icky about that? Not in I suppose in a
bad way. Your warriors lost told you that, Hurricanes one
told you that. Wellington Women's Phoenix behind told you that
and embracing your calls. Now there might be something entirely different.
I'm not fussy tonight, end of the week. I'm cruising.

(01:19:10):
Got my focus on the weekend. But jump in if
you want to chew the fat tonight, because it said
it'd be one of those news days where it kind
of feels through Friday, So do come through if you've
got something to add this day. In twenty sixteen, cyclone

(01:19:32):
Winston made a second landfall on Friji's principle undaviti lavou,
causing widespread damage called forty four people. That's ten years
ago today this day in fifty four, Evette Williams set
the world long jump record at an athletics meeting in Gisbon.
Tchaikowski's ballet Swan Lake is premiered eighteen seventy seven, and

(01:19:53):
US Congress band jeweling in Washington, DC this day in
eighteen thirty nine. There you go, And that's about all
I've got to or the other thing to a the
Edinburgh tattoo if you saw that last night, or a
military tattoo. Sounds a bit niche to me, but those
people into it would be into it.

Speaker 5 (01:20:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
Now, by the way, the police search continues at the
Royal Lodge for the second day. So the latest from
the UK, and be in touch if you want to be.
People and fighter jets have been scrambled as five Russian
wallplanes are spotted heading towards Alaska. I don't know what

(01:20:40):
that's about. The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and
did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace, and the
aircraft were escorted until they departed the Alaskan ad IS
Air Defense Identification Zone. Nord said the Russian aircraft are
regularly seen in the ardors and the activity is not

(01:21:04):
seen as a threat. What was the panic over then? People?
Something some wires have been crossed there? Fifteen past ten,
ETU people, what have you got? Have you done? The
train trip o Targo TAILI Gorge wondering whether to do
it with the granddaughters. It's a fantastic train trip. A
dog friendly muffin would contain it ruffage. Lindy ices her

(01:21:31):
muffins for a dog and they have candles. Sixteen past ten. Hello, Val,
this is Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:21:39):
Good evening. You were talking about specialty shouts for food
at when you're When I was working, I used to
make ginger gems. Now you have a Gemion, You know
what I'm talking about it?

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
Yes, I do. I've got a gem iron right.

Speaker 19 (01:21:57):
You make your ginger gems and fill them with cut
them lengthways, fill them with cream. They go down like
a tree.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
No, but when was the last time you had one?

Speaker 5 (01:22:08):
Val?

Speaker 19 (01:22:10):
Probably about twenty years.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
I reckon, I'll be twice that I reckon, I be
forty years. It's funny. How things, And I don't know
why gems would have fallen out of favor.

Speaker 14 (01:22:20):
No.

Speaker 19 (01:22:21):
Well, when I was working at the university, I always
had to be we had shouts. But I haven't worked
for twenty years, so yeah, well I haven't got the
irons anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
No, well, the fifty five dollars for my set of irons,
had to order them in. I don't know why I
got obsessed with having gemions, but then I never used them.

Speaker 19 (01:22:38):
Oh foolish man.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
Yeah, no, well I thought, you know, you get obsessions
about things that you think, oh, well, my life will
be complete if I've got gemins. I had the gemis.
Well that's gemiins. I've got those now, I don't feel
any different.

Speaker 19 (01:22:50):
You put them in the oven, warm them up while
you have your shower, do you mixture? Probably in the
oven in ten to fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:58):
So the gem minds need to be caught. They retain
the heat. They do a lot of the cooking, actual
heat of the gemions.

Speaker 19 (01:23:03):
Do they they're the heavy ones, are their gem irons?

Speaker 28 (01:23:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:23:08):
Their iron?

Speaker 19 (01:23:09):
Yeah. You heat them first, Yeah, for about ten minutes,
so that when you put the butter in the in
the iron, you know, and the easeful pocket. You put
butter in so that it melts, and then you can
get the gems out quite easily when they've been cooked.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
But it's weird because there aren't many cooking trays that're
just for one recipe, aren't they. They're just for ginger gems,
nothing else.

Speaker 19 (01:23:38):
As far as I know, that's all. I use the
ginger gems for the gemons for but I.

Speaker 3 (01:23:44):
Don't know reci for them.

Speaker 19 (01:23:48):
Yeah. Yeah, it's just that they're very hard. You have
to heat them first, you know. I'd put them in
the oven, go and have a shower, and come back
and do the filling afterwards. Take about ten or fifteen minutes.
So I've lost the recipe now because I passed it
on when I retired.

Speaker 3 (01:24:07):
I'd find it easy. I don't think people have work
shouts anymore. I think too many people have got different
dietary requirements.

Speaker 19 (01:24:13):
Oh I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
No, Well, I mean I'll work on my own, so
I don't have a work shout.

Speaker 19 (01:24:19):
Yeah. Well, I mean they're just ginger cakes and you
put cream in them instead the butter.

Speaker 3 (01:24:25):
Okay, Oh that's a good idea. Well, thank you brilliant.
There we go just like that twenty one past ten.
What all the other foods are that sort of disappeared
and came back. We don't see banana cake, Mutch, You're
not banana cake. You see banana cake, you see banana loaf.
You don't see carrot cake much anymore. It's every kind
of a thick kind of a cream cheese icing, which
was always felt sort of overpowering, But that's kind of gone.

(01:24:49):
Things come and go. I suppose, don't they never anything
your grandmother wouldn't recognize. Sorry, Marcus, but it's not the
Warrior's year. Every time a coach is in there, the
third year coaching the Warriors is the worst ever. Back
to them each week. Not to make the top eight
and you'll have a free holiday at Christmas time. Professional

(01:25:10):
sports punter Jamie. Let me just see what Some of
Jamie's other predictions have been A and twenty and the
fifteenth of January, he texted Scott Robinson Wolren the World
Cup in twenty twenty seven, French or Irish watch this space,
remember this text. I might be right cheapers anyway back

(01:25:37):
catch of people if you don'tant to talk. One of
his Marcus good Evening twenty two past eleven ten twenty
past ten. If you want to talk about any of
the news that's happening, everyone's looking for the New Zealand
angle for Andrew mount Batton Windsor. I think if he

(01:25:57):
becomes king, he will still be our head of state.
But you'd have to have a lot of bad stuff
to happen for him to become king. I don't know
how the Shanea command goes. I think it probably goes
William and then his kids, as he got three. What's
it when they're not it's not just boys now, it's
good as a word for that. We passed the active

(01:26:18):
Parliament even New Zealand for that. It goes him and
has three kids, and Harry and his two. I think
then Andrew Kixon. What's the word I'm looking for the
word that describes succession to crone to crown. It's got

(01:26:38):
a d word in it, men and women. Progenitor. Is
it called something like that? Absolute primogeniture. Absolute primogeniture the
eldest child, regardless of gender, succeeds to the throne, which

(01:27:01):
applies in the UK, sweet of the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium,
Denmark and Luxembourg. All those countries with the cycling royalty,
Spain and Monarco still have male preference primogeniture. Yep, there
you go. That's what's happening in lines three. If you
want to talk about anything tonight twenty four past ten. Here,

(01:27:21):
I'm expecting a late flurry. I'm hoping for late flurry
tonight one Nell Melbourne victory over the Wellington Phoenix. That's
the women's match cream horn molds of very specific one.
If they're still around. He's eighth in line. I think

(01:27:42):
I said that. I say he's eighth and line. I
think that's what we have decided. I think that's not
a surprise. I would be very unlikely for him to
become king. They have to be a mess of plane
crash or well, I suppose it could be anything. Really. Now,
some of the other stuff that you might want to

(01:28:04):
talk about tonight, book sales, secondhand book sales. Because it's
the book sale. It's Dunedin tonight. If you want to
have some books, head to the Eggascenter and you need
to know where these books. It's the rotor of the
lions or something. But with these book sales, they don't
bring all the books out of the beginning. They stagger

(01:28:27):
them so otherwise you get all the goodies at the beginning,
but they have boxes and boxes at the back. It
goes for twenty four hours. It's on now yep, free parking,
and they gave a separate sale later on for CDs
and vinyl. So there we go, Craig, this is Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
Good evening even how's a game this evening?

Speaker 3 (01:28:53):
Good? Thank you, Craig. How are you going?

Speaker 5 (01:28:56):
Ah?

Speaker 22 (01:28:57):
Head better? Got a toothache? And these I can get
in this tomorrow at ten o'clocks.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
Nearly have you have you? Have you had a clove
or your tutor cloth?

Speaker 22 (01:29:05):
I don't have any clothes too.

Speaker 5 (01:29:10):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
You're gotta help. You gotta help yourself. You can't just
say I haven't got any clothes. You go and get
some clothes.

Speaker 22 (01:29:17):
Yes, yes, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:29:18):
How many? How many panels of your head?

Speaker 22 (01:29:22):
About two over hours for the last.

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
If we are two every hour? You supposedly every four hours,
aren't you?

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
Sorry?

Speaker 22 (01:29:28):
Every four hour?

Speaker 7 (01:29:29):
Sorry?

Speaker 5 (01:29:30):
It so and someone not worth it? Really?

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
What about pippermint?

Speaker 22 (01:29:34):
I've got some peppermint chocolate, but it probably doesn't really count.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
But what about what about cold water? Rinses.

Speaker 22 (01:29:40):
I've been trying some of the cold water and sold
ones and they sort of help a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
You have you tried fresh ginger?

Speaker 22 (01:29:51):
Looking at the cup at the moment, I might try that,
surely I was a little bit ncerned about ginger, but
I'll give there to go.

Speaker 3 (01:29:57):
What what caused it?

Speaker 22 (01:30:00):
I have no idea. Just one morning it just I
was making breakfast, hadn't had anything to eat, and then
like in a couple a minute, saying message toothache, hadn't
eating anything. He hadn't done anything.

Speaker 3 (01:30:09):
So how when was this? What day was?

Speaker 9 (01:30:11):
This hour?

Speaker 22 (01:30:12):
Was Thursday?

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
Yesterday? We called that yesterday?

Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
Yep, that would be yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
Delirious with his time too, with it.

Speaker 22 (01:30:21):
Just han't haven't had much sleep? Probably, Yeah, that's the one.
While I was ringing up? Was I remember Mom used
to around east time. She used to make vanilla muffins,
and she used to put one of those little mini
chocolate caramelo eggs inside the middle of it, and that
used to go down a treat in that. But she
doesn't make those anymore. But the one I missed quite

(01:30:43):
a while when I was much younger. You just to
get the supermarket used to get the the boil and
the bag beef. It just like it was a couple
of slices of beef in like a bag with a
scraping all that, and you stick it into a quite
of hot water, headed up and then cut it up
and put it on your plate.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
You put that in the muffin.

Speaker 22 (01:30:59):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
That's just there's just food, your mess. This is food nostalgia.

Speaker 22 (01:31:04):
Yeah, I was just thinking while I was thinking about
muffins and stuff. But yeah, there's a lot of good
stuff that used to do now in the old days
they don't do anymore. I don't know why, whether it's
just gone out of properularity or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
But probably go back and taste it now. It tastes terrible.
That sound does sound terrible, like slices of beef and
a plastic bag.

Speaker 22 (01:31:20):
Oh thistu was quite nice. Tasted like roast beef.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
But well it would have been. It would have been
roast beef, wouldn't it.

Speaker 22 (01:31:26):
Yeah, it was roast beef. But yeah, they don't do
that anymore. It's probably a whole lot of probably health
and safety things. I probably can't do it anymore, I suppose.
But with all the place that being bad to board
and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
So will the dentist be there at ten o'clock tomorrow?

Speaker 22 (01:31:38):
Yeah, he's there, say Sundays.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
Here's a weekend dentist.

Speaker 22 (01:31:43):
Yeah, he's eight am to four pm, seven day a week.

Speaker 3 (01:31:47):
Gosh, what will they think of when's he players golf?

Speaker 22 (01:31:51):
Well I was going to ask him that, mind you,
when I pay for my thing tomorrow, at least thing
can put some money towards it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
I suppose he works seven days.

Speaker 22 (01:32:00):
Yeah, he's a a guy from Pakistan, a really nice guy,
really frilling and all that and really great. But yeah,
it does everything from like industry right up to manufacturing
of dnches and all that sort of stuff. It's like
a one stop shop really.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
So you've been going to him for a while.

Speaker 22 (01:32:18):
I've been gains for about probably ten years.

Speaker 3 (01:32:22):
He's never mentioned to.

Speaker 22 (01:32:26):
I've only had one before. But yeah, I'm actually quite lucky.
I don't if you have any feelings, which is quite
good either. So but now it's really for any talks
about how day was and all sorts of.

Speaker 3 (01:32:37):
Stuff and how tell me what someoneus I would say, like,
how's your day? Craig?

Speaker 5 (01:32:41):
Is that what you say?

Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
I'm going to go. I'm going to go for news, Craig,
sorry about that. I think with toothache cures, it's all
pretty much the same as and it's just clothes and
and saltwater. I think that's what people will say. But
you might have some more information for Craig about that.
Sounds miserable. What have you got to You might want
to about the royals, what you think is going to happen.
My prediction is William for king by Christmas. I'm might

(01:33:06):
not be right, but if i am, I'll tell you
I predicted that. So that's happening, and it would be
a smart move for them to do it. I mean,
Charles is kind of ponderous, isn't he. I mean, he's
not setting out on fire. He never really kind of
ever since he had that trouble with the fountain pen
and as inauguration or whatever they're called, the coronation, he's

(01:33:29):
always come across as a bit of a not someone
that's going to set the royalty on fire, and quite
close to Andrew too well, he would have approved the
twelve million dollar hush money and all that sort of stuff.
So they need to quarterize that otherwise or destroy the
queen's legacy, because she seems to as though she would
have been across a lot of what was going on.
So you get the new generation. I don't know if

(01:33:49):
William's going to be any better. He strikes like he
probably would be. He doesn't seem to be as dithering,
or as ponderous, or as self centered and as lazy
as all the others. So that's just my quick thoughts
on that one chew whole clothes for toothache. I don't
know why clothes have that numbing effect. I don't quite

(01:34:12):
know what the point of that is. It must be
some sort of thing that they've developed through their evolution.
I don't know what. There would there be some very
good reason for it. Contained usanol. That's the thing. Usuanol

(01:34:34):
is what is that? I don't know why. I don't
know why they have it. I don't know what part
of clothes needs to have a numbing effect. It'll be
to do with the spreading of seeds or something kind
of curious. Now twenty seven to eleven, Mareen, this is Marcus. Welcome,

(01:34:54):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:34:55):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
Thanking Mareen?

Speaker 28 (01:34:58):
Now about those people finding the money up in the ceiling.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Yes, have we ever?

Speaker 28 (01:35:04):
Hear didn't think more about that?

Speaker 3 (01:35:06):
Well, I think it's still before the court.

Speaker 28 (01:35:10):
Is that anyway?

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
The decision has been reversed reserved?

Speaker 28 (01:35:15):
Okay, Well, going back back in the day, the son
was eight years old and I was waiting in line
and the Loto to buy a lotto ticket in the
lotto shop, and he was going through old tickets that
have been thrown away, and he's like, at this we

(01:35:37):
scretchy table where they used to scratch, scratch through the
scratch cheese and throw it, throw it in the middle
with when they were losers. Anyway, he he was his
eight and we were walking out of the shop and
he said, Mom, I've got this ticket and he said,
thought it's a thousand dollars And I said, no, give

(01:36:01):
me a look, you know, and yes, it was a
thousand dollars that was thrown away, a scratchy ticket. And
I thought, oh, right, what am I going to do
with this? I said, right, So I thought, I'm not
going back into that lot I shop that we'd just

(01:36:23):
come out of. So I went into the mall and
I went into another lot of shop and I cashed
this thousand dollars scratchy ticket in it was thrown away,
and the girl said, oh, congratulations, I remember selling this

(01:36:43):
to you. And I thought, oh, you're right, and yeah,
a thousand dollars he found it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
And those things we do, the scratchy there's a slot
where you put your old ones. Was he getting them
out of how was he getting them out of there?

Speaker 28 (01:36:59):
Well, he was just looking and it was well, I
don't know. I was waiting in line to get my
lotto ticket. So he was looking in getting old an
old ticket. Wow, thrown away and yeah and yeah, this

(01:37:22):
woman remembered selling it to me.

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
Right, what did you do with the money?

Speaker 4 (01:37:29):
Mareen?

Speaker 28 (01:37:30):
I paid my rates, I paid my pair bill because
back then, I mean this boy, that eight year old
boy is now forty.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
Three jeers.

Speaker 16 (01:37:45):
And I gave the kids.

Speaker 28 (01:37:50):
Twenty dollars each to buy something at Whickles or something
like that. And now he says, you owe me that iought.

Speaker 3 (01:38:00):
I thought that the eight year old's money.

Speaker 28 (01:38:03):
Yeah, I said, I paid your bet twenty times.

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
Probably have a good kid.

Speaker 28 (01:38:09):
Oh absolutely, he is good Kidah good.

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
Forty three or more and thank you for that. Twenty
three away from eleven Marcus, my dad drove Andrew on
a royal visit to New Zealand and said he was
one of the more down to earth royals he had carried.
He also drove Prince Philip, Madeline Albright and Chelsea Clinton.
Dad's been gone almost a year. I think of him
every day. Goodness. Now, I agree with you regarding William

(01:38:40):
being king by Christmas. But we haven't seen our new
coins yet. Oh you got not more coins? Good thing
than ever put Andrew on a coin, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (01:38:50):
One?

Speaker 3 (01:38:50):
If he's on any money, I guess you could. Probably
wasn't don't quite know the rules of coins. Probably worth
collecting if they were. He's prepared on a small number
of commemorative coins, primarily marking his nine to eighty six

(01:39:12):
wedding to Sarah Ferguson in the nineteen eighty four to
fifty cent pence coin from Saint Helena Ascension Island. Or
that'd be very much for the collectors, wouldn't it. How
many people would live on Saint Helena and Ascension Island
Almost no one. I look staft on the coins as well,
better than he does in the back of the car,

(01:39:33):
putting that mildly. Here's about fifty people on Saint Helena.
Why wul they need their own money? I might have
that wrong. I might have my Atlantic Islands wrong. Is
that when Napoleon was what do you think it's The
population is four thousand? Would be always be a good

(01:39:55):
place to go, hard to get to. I think twenty
one away from eleven o'clock head on midnight. Look waiting
for my late flurries. So if you want to restart
the if you got to be the legend that restarts
the cushion. I don't know what it's about, but I'm
up for it. Yeah, I'm not quite sure if the
coins will go up and value. Are not the ones
from Prince Andrew's wedding, but there's quite a bit out

(01:40:16):
there actually, so I didn't realize that was the thing. Hey,
but look, I've got all my lines are free if
you want to talk. By the way, the skiing half pipe,
the means qualification is on now. Four kiwis are on
the line if you want to watch that on sky Sport.
That's on channel fifty three. By the way, with the NRL,
with the Warriors having lost to the Dolphins tonight, they

(01:40:37):
are paying twenty three dollars to win the NRL this
year favorites are the Broncos paying five dollars. Of course
they are the reigning champion. They will go back to back.
I mean that's about them going back to If they
go back to back, not guaranteed, but you never know.
I think a lot of the NRL's about injuries too,
isn't it. I think we've still got that weekend when
they have that in Las Vegas. I'm not quite sure

(01:40:59):
why they're bothering when that to wears a hassle. Anyway, Hey, look,
I need your calls tonight to finish me off. So
if there's anything of interest, you've got say, you might
have comment on the Royals or on muffins. That's been
the two major topics for tonight, and I don't have
a problem with that. There might be something different you
want to talk about, something egregious might have happened that
you want to complain about, and yeah, be in touch

(01:41:24):
if there's that or anything else. I will do what
I can to bring them the news that's happening. But
there's not much that I can see tonight. Always pretty
quiet on a Friday night news wise. The football is
about to finish with the women Phoenix one nil to
Melbourne victory. Now what else have I got for you people? No,

(01:41:48):
I'm not seeing any other news from around, but yeah,
be in touch if you want to check in. And
the books. The books sale tonight. Oh on the Art
Deco festival too, that's on this weekend. That'll be a
big weekend. And abe, I think the weather's pretty good
for that too. Never been you might want to tell
me what that's about. I think it's like drinking wine

(01:42:08):
and dancing. I think that's what's about. It must have
been here for third I don't even know who came
up with us beening for about thirty years. So yeah,
you got to celebrate those volunteers because don't happen easy
those things. Not a volunteer hours goes into those sorts
of things, those festivals, small communities, smallest communities putting things
on that good on them. Yep, so thego oh eight oh?

(01:42:31):
Now what's Sadowski sin? It gone on the record boards
for the most decorated snowboarder in Olympic history, five medals
pre outstanding, So well done her. I think she's done this.
She had a lot of injuries. Probably not because you
wouldn't have enough time to recover all those times. Anyhow,

(01:42:53):
good evening, June. This is Marcus. Welcome to you. Thanks
for calling out again. Hi Marcus, nice to hear from you.

Speaker 12 (01:43:01):
Yeah, hey, you know you're talking about people putting clothes
in their mouth for a two daco. Yes one is
like a mouthfresh now, yes.

Speaker 21 (01:43:10):
Two.

Speaker 12 (01:43:11):
If you go to an Indian shop, you can get
clove oil.

Speaker 5 (01:43:14):
Yep.

Speaker 12 (01:43:15):
Literally, you put the clove oil in a cotton bud
or a small piece of cotton and stick it in
your tooth or whatever, and that helps you toothake.

Speaker 3 (01:43:25):
I've heard that's pretty good, the clove oil, because I
guess I'll get right in there in the actual clove
wone say, and get it much further down, can't you.

Speaker 12 (01:43:32):
No, the clove oil will if you put in a
small piece of cotton roll or whatever and just stick
it into your tooth or wherever the pain is. Okay,
that helps a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:43:43):
Yeah, I think you'd get a clove oil almost anywhere.

Speaker 11 (01:43:46):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:43:46):
I think that's probably a bit more common, but that's
a good idea getting it from a shop like that, Okay.

Speaker 12 (01:43:50):
More an Indian shop, more an Indian shop than any
other shop I know.

Speaker 3 (01:43:54):
Brilliant. Okay, Jane, thank you so much for that. By
the way too. The Wellington Phoenix have score touch one
all there against the Melbourne victory. I think they are
this is trying to be the first time to win
in Victoria. This is the women's sight be a fairy
good match. Also talking about toothache and clove oil, no
tend's worked on the weekends. I guess it's probably a thing.

(01:44:15):
Fourteen to eleven, you probably had a lot of dentists
in Hamilton because they've always got a love hate relationship
with the fluoride there, haven't they. They always going on
about that. Marcus Frank Zappa has a song about muffins,
the muffin Man Barry from Wai Matte. Well, there's the
other song about the muffin man. Have you seen the
muffin Man, The muffin Man, the muffin Man. I presume

(01:44:35):
that's a nursery rhyme about the plague. Aren't they all
those nurse who know they've always got hidden meanings, haven't they?
I'm sure it's about the plague. I look that up. Well,
I've got the chance. Fourteen to eleven. I think the
muffin Man was luring children down the alley to kill them.
But the song doesn't really tell you that because the
song doesn't really go anywhere. You wouldn't really even call

(01:44:57):
it a song the muffin Man. But it is muff
and Day, so we are talking about that because that's today.
That's what you do on muffin Day. For a little
information about muff and day, but it is today. That's
what today is, the muffin Day. Some people think they
are pretty much like a delicious cupcake without frosting, beating
for breakfast with little muffin, but it is a bit
more dense and includes fruit. Original wood was moufin m

(01:45:20):
I n mouffin German mouffin. There we go. It's been
observed since twenty fifteen. I don't have muffin breaks such
a big thing anymore, is it. But yes, I was
read down on muffins, so I remembered brand muffins, which
are delicious, and that's something we ought to be eating
more about. So there you go. I think it's different

(01:45:42):
with the European muffin and an American muffin. I think
American muffin. No, I can't work that out, but all
do with yeast and baking soda or something like that. Now,
if you've just joined the show, greetings and welcome required.
As far as news has been tonight, and it's been
a bit of sport on but the Warriors lost and
the Hurricanes won a very one sided match against Malwana PACIFICA.

(01:46:07):
There was ten tries to two or something like that.
Couple of bad injuries there also that's happened tonight. If
there's news you've got where you are, let us know
what that is. I'm always interested. The Warriors have lost
and people have used that to speculate about where they've
finished with the NRL. Some have said they are wooden spooners,
some have said they're winners. Not many have said their winners.

(01:46:28):
The photographer has talked about his luck of getting the
photograph of Prince Andrew coming out of the police station.
He took six frames of photos, probably up a step ladder,
so extraordinary managed to get it. One of the grimmest
photos I've seen of someone capturing them at their worst,

(01:46:53):
but it's the one that every single news organization has
gone with. I don't want to photo that would be
worth but I suspect a lot of money to get
something like that, right place, right time, in that sense
of photographer. So yes, eight away from eleven, with you
through until twelve. People, if you've got break, I'll also

(01:47:14):
talk about smoking a pipe, not meny takers for that.
I'd be surprised if I see a person smoking a
pipe every five years, almost a thing of the past.
I'd say I could buy a new pipe anymore, or
buy the tobacco that goes in it for that matter,
not necessarily probably a bad thing or or cancer and
the likes. But there you go. Although they say internationally

(01:47:38):
the market for pipe tobacco is growing, well, there you go.
Surprise they got their own day, although the day does
have a disclaimer, no surprise is there. Seven from eleven,
five away from eleven, Karen, it's Marcus. Good evening, good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:47:58):
It's so pleased to talk to you tonight. Listen. About
thirty seven years ago, I traced my family because I
haven't been given up as a three year old and
there were five in the family anyway, went to visit

(01:48:20):
my brother in Rotada for the first time and took
two kids, two dogs that they're dogs in case I
mucked up and I need an excuse eat away, But anyway,
I walked up and Mike smelt off tobacco, not smoke,

(01:48:43):
but tobacco, which was pretty amazing, and he enveloped me
and our tears met on my cheeks. We walked upstairs,
and he turned around halfway up the stairs and rubbed
off my head and he said to me, how's it going,
little fist, which was a big honor because I'd been

(01:49:06):
the old just in the other family. I lifted. But
when we got to the top, he said, now these
are Dad's pipes. And on that little rack there were
half a dozen pipes included, including one of granddad's, and
he in one of granddads was actually a little clay pipe,

(01:49:29):
and say that was the history behind Mike. And he said,
now they'd always smoked tobacco rather than than cigarettes. There
we are.

Speaker 3 (01:49:42):
Did Mike give you one of the pipes?

Speaker 20 (01:49:46):
No, he didn't. But I have dug up a lot
of either, dug up a lot of holes in my
life and looking for old bottles and things like that.
And I do have a clay pipe.

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
You know about that. I haven't got much time, but
you know about the clay pipes that they were single
use do you know that you'd buy them at I
never knew that. So it was your old old archaeological
site to be clay pipes everywhere, but you just use
them once and then you threw them away. It was bizarre,
wasn't it? Like they already had They already had the
tobacco in them.

Speaker 20 (01:50:18):
They were well packed in those days.

Speaker 3 (01:50:20):
Yeah, I always thought there was only needs to learn that.
Several years ago, Karen Lovely to talk the love removing
story about the stairs and the tears.

Speaker 5 (01:50:27):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
Thank you for that. If I'm looking at my victories
and talk back tonight, one of the victories I've had
tonight is that people have become I have revived people's
love for the brand muffin. And that's enough for me.
That's gonna fill me for my weekend. Marcus had to
get a bed and find my brand muffin recipe I
used to make has dates and buttermilk. I'll be whipping
them up tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder. I wonder how

(01:50:54):
many guys whom were specifically named after Andrew Windsor will
either no longer admit it or just admit it if
they are lucky enough to get it as a middle name. Well,
it's of for a good point. And what if your
name was Andrew mount Batten windsor you'd be tracking along
fine until about a year ago. It'll be a hell
of a year, wouldn't it, Marcus. Pipe smokers have at

(01:51:18):
least six or seven pipes. They rest the pipes full
of wet nicicotine each day of fresh pipe. They dry
out once clean and rested, otherwise free bitter taste. Well, yes,
and let's not forget the pipe cleaner. We all know
the pipe clean because we made animals out of them
at school. But the pipe cleaner's main functions in the name,
isn't it. It's a pipe cleaner. I imagine it's one
of those things. Now, if you went to buy a

(01:51:39):
pipe cleaner, they have a great deal of difficulty finding it.
Probably something to get on temu. But yeah, often in
those archaeological dicks digs they always found endless clay pipes.
But those clay pipes you would buy, I'd like to
see a picture of the original clay pipe. They were
already I think they had sort of paper, They had

(01:52:03):
tobacco in it, and like paper that you'd like, which
I've always sound very interesting because it was only recently
I'd found that. Well, I'd say recently ten years ago
speaking to an archaeologist. But yeah, so it was like
buying single smokes from the dairy would be used to
be able to do that, but they'd have the tobacco
in all that very white porcelain clay. I can't sit

(01:52:25):
any with the tobaccocu. You know, they're quite brittle that
it's hard to find one in tech because they broke
quite easily. So look as anything goes for the last hour,
Marc has just looked up brand muffin recipe to make
a batch tomorrow. Forgotten the brand muffin and one of
the best muffins ever. Thank you for the show tonight
and inspiration Windy. If I was more entrepreneurial, I would

(01:52:48):
buy a muff and break and I'd write brandt muff
and break over the top of it, and I'd become
a think it'd be very successful, be a lot better
than the current muffins. Ones with apple, ones with fijoa,
ones with pineapple, very healthy, very good for you. I'll
be grabbing my recipe. I don't know what would be
the best brand muffin recipe well with a lot of

(01:53:09):
brand and I guess so, yeah, there we go. That's
been the great discovery of tonight and I've renewed my
love for the equals. Cake can't win. My next visit
to christ Jutch will be That's where were I think
they Actually, you can I can get to some. Actually
I think I know I can get some. Now I
wish I just didn't say now so often. Any who, Ye, John, No,

(01:53:30):
this is Marcus. Welcome. Hi John O.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Goody.

Speaker 3 (01:53:33):
How's the going out of ten yourself?

Speaker 5 (01:53:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 31 (01:53:36):
Not too bad? Thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:53:37):
Are you are you a serious? Are you a serious
caller or a lighthearted caller?

Speaker 31 (01:53:42):
Oh? A bit of both.

Speaker 3 (01:53:45):
To be fair, well, I appreciate your honesty. I like
a serious, lighthearted caller.

Speaker 31 (01:53:50):
I'm just calling up about the East One going to
into the waterways around Wellington. Then, to be honest, I'm
a little apeer about it. The it's it's all well
and good. I just want to know who's whose ends
are going to roll because very farmers around the country.
You know, it's not going to stand any eclon going
into waterways around there. But all of a sudden, now

(01:54:13):
that it's the counter, it's it's it's permitted, and it's
it's it's acceptable, but it's really honest.

Speaker 3 (01:54:19):
Well, the head of the water company, right yep, Nick Leggott,
he has gone.

Speaker 5 (01:54:28):
He's gone as.

Speaker 3 (01:54:29):
He so he's the Wellington Water chair. He's resigned. So
are you saying the head of Fonterra should go next
time there's a leak in the river?

Speaker 10 (01:54:38):
Oh?

Speaker 31 (01:54:39):
No, absolutely not, But there's not.

Speaker 3 (01:54:42):
That was the analogy, was it?

Speaker 13 (01:54:43):
Though?

Speaker 3 (01:54:43):
I don't know if it's his fold either or probably is.

Speaker 31 (01:54:46):
Well, No, I'm saying that the dairy farmers themselves get
prosecuted for any miss miss uh prosecute management.

Speaker 3 (01:54:53):
Yeah, I take your point. And a couple of times
you'd be a farmer John, are you?

Speaker 31 (01:54:58):
And we're talking about you know, oh, we're limiting the
amount of effluent, we're limiting the amount of em going
into the short short fight. This is the long fight.
What that's not good enough to be honest, to be rank?
You know, our common one that's out there, and it's
it's getting destroyed as we speak.

Speaker 3 (01:55:15):
And I think I think everyone thinks it's disaster for everyone.
But someone was saying, there's very few We've got no
one with the skills in the country. Everyone's gone overseas
for the higher paid jobs or those people that work
an effluent and sewage.

Speaker 31 (01:55:28):
Right, all right, and that's that's a whole other matter to.

Speaker 10 (01:55:31):
Begin with it.

Speaker 3 (01:55:31):
Yeah, absolutely, So the country is not in a good state, JOHNA.

Speaker 11 (01:55:34):
Where are you?

Speaker 3 (01:55:35):
You're a South Islander?

Speaker 31 (01:55:38):
Yes, and no. Yes, of the country to be there
a rep Yeah, yeah, traveling all around, traveling all around.
But no, sorry, there was just my think.

Speaker 3 (01:55:49):
It's John, it's a good thought. I think it's a
good point. And a lot of people are home and say, yep,
that's it, John, and you got it right.

Speaker 31 (01:55:56):
Yep, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:55:57):
Good point, well made. Thank you just tuned in. Yes,
brand muffins, totally forgot about them. How yummy they are?
Thank you, Lisa Marcus Papkin saved to a nice brand
and blueberry muffin. I prefer them homemade, but for a
bought one they are pretty good. Now, Wendy's thanked you
for the inspiration, and if you want to come through

(01:56:19):
for the Friday free for all, it'd be nice to
hear from you. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine nine text If you want to be a
part of it. Anything goes in the final hour. Yeah,
get in touch. Now, what else do you want to
talk about? By the way, there's been no I've got
no idea what's happening with Wellington. I saw that gastly

(01:56:42):
story that the sewerage went backward into someone's house and clay.
There was a sewage explosion that covered every inch of
the Yeah it sounds man. Look at that snow and
the wind is this live? Watch it snowing heavily. I'm
watching them run up hill with skis and helmets snow
guns as time. But giant flakes of snow, giant flakes.

(01:57:02):
Even eating Brand muffins this weekend. Aren't they quite a springy,
spongy muffin? But apparently there's a good recipe on the
help back of the health Thoris brand peck. I don't
think you know what brand is it? The outside of
fifteen past. Everyone enjoyed the Winter Olympics. By the way,
you don't have your own cooling stones. There's just to

(01:57:23):
sit there, which I thought better about because I thought
the expensive stones to carry around. They should make that
with pole vault poles, because they must be expensive to
travel with. Terry Marcus welcome.

Speaker 32 (01:57:36):
Yeah, hi Marcaus. I just thought i'd quickly call them
just so. Yeah, I've been watching the Winter Olympics and
I think even if New Zealand does not win any goals,
we've got three medals at the moment, but we've still
got We've got three.

Speaker 3 (01:57:50):
We've got three here. We a thought we had two,
but you'd be right.

Speaker 32 (01:57:52):
No, Luca Harrington one of bronze. I got Zoe. Yeah,
so we've got at the moment, they've got the free
ski half five and we've got I thought they were
only allowed three from one country, but there's four keys
in this qualifying run, so you know, there's Finn Melbolle
ives and I think Luca's brother Ben and a few
others and so you've got to get in the top twelve.

(01:58:15):
So they're still an opportunity for more medals. But what
this Olympic Olympics has proven to me is that there's
depths in the New Zealand team, real depth. Now you
know we've got we haven't had you know, we haven't
had Nico forty X, which is a bit of a
shame he retired and he's still very young.

Speaker 6 (01:58:34):
But we've probably missed.

Speaker 32 (01:58:36):
Him at this Olympics, but we have got depths now
and a lot of the disciplines, and I think that's
a good science for the future. So the next Olympics
are in the French alp, so it's kind of like same. Yeah,
but yeah, I've been enjoying it. No, really in the
fact that there's a lot of athletes there. Britt was
senting New Zealand is a good thing and they're doing

(01:58:58):
really Welldowski Center. It's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:59:02):
She seems to be good at what she's doing, doesn't she.

Speaker 32 (01:59:05):
Yeah, so hopefully She's only twenty four and she's been
to three Olympics, so hopefully she goes to the next
one too.

Speaker 3 (01:59:10):
Oh you'd cool it quits, wouldn't you.

Speaker 32 (01:59:13):
The dethletes in their thirties can see what do you mean.

Speaker 3 (01:59:16):
Well, you've done it all. That's why I quite like her, Nika.
I mean, these people seem to be very good, very young,
but there's injuries. Yes, I'd give up if us here.

Speaker 32 (01:59:25):
Marcus, no one, you've got to sit down, chop Well.

Speaker 3 (01:59:28):
No, I'm not twenty foot, but you are. These athletes
that they hang around for too long, there'd be a
lot of traveling or a traveling to cold, cold places.

Speaker 32 (01:59:37):
But they're still young. You know, he's still young in
the twenties, so you were.

Speaker 3 (01:59:40):
Then some fifteen year old will come around and spin
it around and do it. Yeah, I know. Good on Nico.
I think he's doing camera work or something now, is he? Ye,
Luca Nico?

Speaker 32 (01:59:50):
Oh Nico, Sorry not Luca, Lucia. He's yeah, well he's there.
They've talked to him, so I'm not sure if you've
probably know more than me, but he's been interviewed. Yes, yeah,
he's they're supporting them.

Speaker 3 (02:00:02):
Ohther that was quite good that he'd decided to go
and do something else.

Speaker 32 (02:00:06):
Yeah, good on him. Yes, and he's one gold. I mean,
you know, you can break records, but the records can
be broken to They can never take your metal away
from you.

Speaker 3 (02:00:14):
Oh, although I say some of them are falling apart.
But good on you, Thank you. Terry eighteen past eleven.
Do know what are you going to sit down? Job
and not really flip? You don't know why I stepped
away from the half pipe, but good on them. I'm
watching a very good event. It's a brand new event.
It's called ski mountaineering and you ski up hill and

(02:00:35):
then you take your skis off and put them in
your backpack and your poles, and you run up some
steps and then you get to the top and watching
this I speak. Then you take your skins off your
skis and ski down hill very fast, very exciting, goes
for it looks exhausting, goes throughout three minutes. Very while
we good at that. I'd like the key wes to
be better at sports. That it's just timing. You just win.

(02:00:57):
I love a race rather than whether it's judges, because
once again we're in the kind of not knowing with
Zdowski senate that the judge gave her the wrong wrong marks.
A very good event. Oh this is the pick of them.
So you run up hill and the great for the
spectators that they're in droves. He goes a Swiss person kissler.
They have won that as they should have. Got to
say that. I'm loving reading articles about that boy in

(02:01:20):
Western Australia that swum all that way to rescue his family.
What an unbelievable child that is. Now he's getting all
sorts of accolades in Australia. He's just been awarded some
big award from the scouting. I think he's involved in
some sort of scouts, but Jet, it's an amazing story
that guy. I still can't believe what he did. Listen

(02:01:41):
to the one one one call and he just was
so together and he's I think I'm going to collapse now,
amazing story. This is this guy Andrew Appleby. I think
his name was Austin Appleby. But now he's just being
governed a gold commendation for Australian Army cadets. Don't know
what they are, but yeah, he's neck kid. Anyway, Nick,

(02:02:01):
this is Marcus Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 9 (02:02:03):
Hi Nick, evening, Marcus.

Speaker 22 (02:02:05):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (02:02:06):
Nick? Yourself?

Speaker 6 (02:02:07):
Yeah, Gould, thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:02:08):
Hey.

Speaker 13 (02:02:08):
I'm just driving back from Hamilton to my home and
the outer outer regions of the White Cutto and I
thought i'd give you a call because I know that
you're a counselor and I'm I'm actually a council employee
and I've just been out at the new White Cutto
theater about that a well, you know, and I'm interested

(02:02:32):
to get your thoughts as a as a counselor as well.
Look that there's been a lot of money that's been
poured into that right. I haven't been to an event
at the theater, but I went out for a couple
of years with some mates. The venues there, and I'll
tell you what, it's pumping, absolutely pumping, and and I
think it's that, you know, councils get a you know,

(02:02:54):
Hamilton City poured a bit of money into that, but
a funding. But councilors get a bit of a bad
rap for wasting money on these sorts of venues that
actually draw in a lot of I don't know, those
are benefits to the wider community. So tend to get
tend to get your thoughts from the deep South.

Speaker 3 (02:03:14):
Well, the whole key to council right is making long
term decisions for the future of the city and things
that will things that will really pay in a hundred years.
And you think, wow, look at the who were the
people that decided to do that. You look at the
guy that went against everyone's advice and thought he'd build

(02:03:35):
the Eiffel Tower in Paris. You know, everyone thought it
was a crazy everyone thought it was a crazy idea.
And he thought, no, we'll get that one sorted out.
That'll do it. And the most, the most, the most
visited tourist attraction in the world. You look at Sydney
with the Opera House. Yeah, one hundred times over budget.

(02:03:59):
But you know, now, no one in Australia would say
it was a bad You know, sometimes people get it
wrong in their white elephants, But Hamilton's amazing with the
way people talk about it now because people were going
down from Auckland to the opening of that, because there
all sorts of contents there and they said it was
so amazing. How much did it cost a hundred million?

Speaker 18 (02:04:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:04:18):
I think a bit a bit more than that, right,
but hey, look it and.

Speaker 3 (02:04:21):
How much how much how much of it was right pays?
And did they get private sponsors and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (02:04:27):
It was.

Speaker 14 (02:04:28):
It was a mix.

Speaker 13 (02:04:29):
So there was a bit of government funding from what
I can remember, a bit of council funding of like
philanthropic funding, but it was it was a mixture of ages,
which is cool. Like being out there tonight, there was
a number of venues they were all pretty full, a
mixture of ages.

Speaker 5 (02:04:47):
So people.

Speaker 13 (02:04:49):
They made a big deal about it, and councilors are
in the spotlight for that sort of thing, but just
pulled out something pretty cool. Yeah, how long you've got
to have think guy's got a museum down. Is there
a museum build happening down your way?

Speaker 5 (02:05:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:05:03):
I think it. Yeah, I think it's opening where they've
finished almost the building of it, but now it's working
out what goes inside it.

Speaker 13 (02:05:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:05:11):
But that's but that's but that's but that's a different
thing because they're replacing something the city didn't have for
a long time because the old one was earthquake condemned.
So there's a whole generation that hasn't had a museum
as well. So it's yeah, but who's whose plan was this?
Who was the vision because because it sort of went
under the radar for mean, who was the visionary behind it?

Speaker 6 (02:05:32):
From from memory?

Speaker 13 (02:05:34):
So they used to work at Hamilton's to the council,
so they had the found so they had a theater
and then it was earthquake prone and it needed to
be demolished. But they had a bit of a trust
that was built around this. And I believe Lennett Garder,
who's behind or involved with Fosters, he was. He's been

(02:05:56):
kind of praised as a man that's helped get it
over the line.

Speaker 3 (02:06:00):
Yeah, I know from this show, Hamilton people are incredibly
proud and they want to have their own things they
can go to. They don't want to be seen as
a commuter suburb from Auckland. It's got that early owned censor,
which I quite like about the Hamiltonians. They've talking up.

Speaker 13 (02:06:16):
Yeah, well I'm I'm driving back to Samut now. So
I've driven in to catch up with the mates for
a couple of years and we've gone to one of
the venues there.

Speaker 14 (02:06:26):
Check it out of what was on there.

Speaker 13 (02:06:28):
There was nothing, so there was no There was nothing
actually at the at the theater, but the venues that
are inside the theater.

Speaker 24 (02:06:38):
Like the cocktail bar.

Speaker 13 (02:06:39):
And the other part.

Speaker 5 (02:06:42):
Yeah, what's it called?

Speaker 3 (02:06:44):
Is it called Hamilton? What's the place called.

Speaker 13 (02:06:47):
The Benzi Theater? I believe where I went Wonder Horse.
Wonder Horse was where.

Speaker 5 (02:06:53):
You want to go.

Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
I don't know if that's a frey good name, is
it wonder Horse?

Speaker 13 (02:07:00):
Yeah, Well there's a Hamilton institution that has moved locations.

Speaker 3 (02:07:05):
They take the they've probably been courted. They probably said look,
come and be an anchor tenant. That'll be what's happened here.

Speaker 13 (02:07:11):
Yeah, it's good, good spot. So you know, can't forget
a bad rant.

Speaker 26 (02:07:17):
I've got a good teck in my opinion, with the fun.

Speaker 3 (02:07:20):
Yeah, and that's the way you've got to do. You've
got a fun things that can be payoff for fifty
or sixty years. So the people in the future have
got something that they can have. So it's because there's
all their pressure on rates here. Okay, nice to hear
from you in that good discussion twenty four to twelve.
Good evening, Richard, this is Marcus. Welcome, Good evening.

Speaker 2 (02:07:37):
I love it that.

Speaker 14 (02:07:41):
Sportswoman are achieving such goals.

Speaker 5 (02:07:44):
And it was only last night.

Speaker 14 (02:07:48):
As I was listening to you that I found out
and I don't want to get too off track here,
but that I found out about this Ward was just about.

Speaker 5 (02:07:55):
To go on.

Speaker 14 (02:07:55):
And then I'm looking through my phone today and I
saw Donald fall asleep during some of these major talks.

Speaker 5 (02:08:04):
I'm a mechanic in my life. In a five hour
asleep during.

Speaker 3 (02:08:07):
My job, I'd be sacked, yeah, or your bus driver ye.

Speaker 14 (02:08:14):
And you fall asleep in your job, you gets sick,
don't you. I mean, is he just not past it?

Speaker 3 (02:08:19):
Clearly he's passed it.

Speaker 5 (02:08:21):
And we're trusting the wars and and that sort of thing.
So it was brief, but.

Speaker 3 (02:08:31):
He's incognitive decline.

Speaker 14 (02:08:34):
Yes, so I hope that a politician incognitive decline does
not lead us to dis arraying our world.

Speaker 3 (02:08:44):
Well, in this and of course too, we might have
a uzier, might have a prime minister that's eighty three
next the next term. If Winston plays the game right
and that that to me, that would be a that
would not be a progressive step.

Speaker 14 (02:09:00):
Well, no, it's it's difficult. That isn't because he's quine
of the cool dude. Well well, okay, then that's personal
maybe opinion that he appears to be still standing up
and not falling asleep during conversations.

Speaker 3 (02:09:16):
Or maybe Trump wasn't before he got elected.

Speaker 14 (02:09:19):
Enough.

Speaker 3 (02:09:20):
Yeah, but you know, I mean, how old? What's the
right age to be a politician, the.

Speaker 5 (02:09:26):
Right for anyone else to be doing the job confetently?

Speaker 3 (02:09:32):
Would you want an eighty year old school? Would you
want your kids being taught by an eighty year old exactly?
Would you would you want.

Speaker 5 (02:09:43):
An eighteen year old to be doing twenty five minute
jumps off?

Speaker 3 (02:09:48):
No, I don't want that. But it's funny how we
look at age because his age experience, I mean, because
you know, as you get older, you become you become less.
Would you want an eighty year old surgeon?

Speaker 2 (02:09:59):
Probably right?

Speaker 3 (02:09:59):
Yeah, I experience accounts for something.

Speaker 5 (02:10:02):
I just said, trouble with it today when I slipped
over and sort of falling asleep during one of his
major conversations. Counting. You know that counts on us being safe.

Speaker 3 (02:10:16):
Yeah, I agree, But no one seems to be. I mean,
everyone seems to be fearful, and no one seems to
be prepared or wanting to do anything about it. I
think they're just waiting for the midterms when he becomes
a lame duck president. Mine away from midnight, Peter, it's Marcus.
Good evening, you know, Marcus, how are you good? Pete
yourself up late?

Speaker 2 (02:10:37):
What's up?

Speaker 26 (02:10:38):
Are you going to be all sorts of theirs whatever?

Speaker 3 (02:10:42):
That's not Do you need to get into a routine?

Speaker 26 (02:10:45):
Yeah, I just go along with FLA. Basically, I was
watching stuff on Google bout Ukraine or or whatever. Yeah,
I'm just just regarding the politicians. I don't think age
has got nothing do it along with the people who
are in the other sharp and now what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (02:11:02):
Would you want to get operated on by an eighty
year old surgeons?

Speaker 26 (02:11:06):
A little bit different when you're talking about stage and
but they're just being a politician. Although as long as
they've got a sharp mind and they can speak in
their memories, okay, that's all they need. I don't reckon.
Look at Trump. You know he's he's age.

Speaker 3 (02:11:19):
Two, you know, but he's terrible. That's how important were saying.
He's terrible.

Speaker 31 (02:11:25):
Trumps, he's asleep.

Speaker 3 (02:11:28):
He's asleep today.

Speaker 26 (02:11:30):
Yeah, he's just.

Speaker 3 (02:11:33):
He's but he's probably too old as well. His heart's
not in it, at.

Speaker 26 (02:11:39):
Least of winning. It is you look at whenning, you don't,
you know it's some people that like I don't. He's
pretty Swiss starting get all that experience. He can blow
half of them out of there there out of the door,
or winning that and that down the behaved down there.
He's got more clues and they all know that is
a very experienced politician. I reckon, he's good. He keeps
them all on their toes.

Speaker 2 (02:12:00):
Want.

Speaker 3 (02:12:01):
This is what we hear every three years, want want.
It always ends up with disappointment someone their ties keeps
them honest, Yadi Yadia. At least he hasn't left this time.
He's kept it there for three years or two and
a half years.

Speaker 26 (02:12:14):
Yeah, but you know, you know what, you treat him fairly.
That all politicians are all the same end of the day,
they're all out there for number one.

Speaker 3 (02:12:24):
I disagree. I disagreed, Pete, but that's all right. By
the way. It seems though Peter Mendelsson, who's an issue.
Here'll be the other guy going to jail. He seemed
to help Andrew get his job as Trade Envoy against
the wishes of Kings Charles. That's the latest news. Prince
Andrew was enthusiastic championed for the role of the UK

(02:12:46):
Envoy by none other than Peter Mendelssohn. Lord Mendelssoon is
now on an investigation by police. Himself dismissed concerns Andrew
stupably from a number cridics, including his older brother. So yep,
I don't know what the qualification for the role was.
