Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks,
that'd be I have friends on Facebook and they say too,
in the Far North or in the North in the
North between Auckland and far are raining very heavily or
has been. So just letting you know that we will
keep a watching brief on the weather today. Gosh, there's

(00:29):
no shortage of weather is there anyway. So if there's
something that you've got to report, let us know about that.
That's how we'll go. That's how we will how I
will keep you up to date with what's happening locally.
But yeah, it's kind of hard. I think it's important
this time of the night we keep people up to
date with what's going on as far as the weather
and stuff like that goes, because you know, you're not

(00:52):
always going to get it from the news bulletins. So
we will do what we can to keep you informed.
So if there is some situation where it's persisting down
do let me know. By the way, to the situation
in Spain and Portugal, very serious power cuts there, like
serious power cuts and what people are going to shops
and they're doing. They're going to shops and what they're

(01:12):
asking for is radios. So yeah, that's interesting, isn't it.
Because the cell phones are not being charged, they can't
get on the internet. All that stuff goes. So suddenly
the hot ticket item in Portugal and Spain is a
transistor radio. Why am I telling you this? I'm not
quite sure, but a lot of you are probably listening

(01:34):
to the radio on your iPhones, but you probably need
a transistor and batteries just in case. You might even
want one of those ones that you can crank. Personally,
I think they're lame. You want one with batteries, I
would think. By the way, I've been trying to research
why there are power cuts in Portugal and Spain. It's
quite complicated. I'm not afraid of complicated. You're afraid of complicated.

(02:00):
What they reckon it might be, or one of the
potential things for it. It's not a soul of flare,
which I thought thought firstly that it could be. It's
induced atmospheric vibrations, and that's when there's temperature variations across
the network and energy goes to the hotter regions because

(02:27):
they're using air conditioning, and that starts vibrating oscillating across
the high voltage lines and that can damage equipment. So yes,
we all get excited about networks and everything being connected,
but once everything is connected, then one thing goes out,
it can all go down. I don't know what the

(02:48):
solution to that is, but I'm just putting that out there.
I don't know what their lessons are there for New
Zealand and this, but you know, always up for a
disaster and the talking potential for that. So there we go.
That seems to be what's happening there. There might be
someone listening on their radio in Spain or Portugal. Do
get in touch with us tonight if there is something
you want to mention. Also to the animals are fighting

(03:09):
back or moving around. There as a wallabee that's been
found in Marlborough. Now I am very wallaby aware on
the show. What tends to happen though with wallabies and
this is not something I would do, but what people
tend to do is they tend to find wallabies and

(03:30):
kill them and they move them to freak people out.
It's a really stupid thing to do, but it's fascinating
because there's a wallaby and Marlboro and anything did that
walk there? Or has that been dumped there often they
are dumped. I don't know if they can do forensics

(03:50):
on them or how they know that they've moved. But
by the way, wallabies incredibly expensive pest to control because
once they start moving you can't fence them in. I
don't know how much stock the eat compared to Canada goose,
how much grass they eat compared to Canada goose, but
probably more, probably five times as much. So they are moving,

(04:16):
But whether they've moved as far as Marlborough, I'm not sure,
but that's the situation just outside of Blenheim rivulins. So
only have there been wallaby sightings, have also been moose sightings.
I have zero faith there are moose in this country. However,

(04:37):
I was driving to work when I was driving earlier
on today and I came past one of the deer
farms on the Bluff Road, and there are deer in
that farm. I don't know what they are, hind or
something like that, and I imagine at a distance they
could be confused for a moose. But there were some
Canadian backpackers doing the Kepler Trek, I think, and they
thought they had seen a moose and they weren't stupid.
They were people with like had studied, had studied kind

(05:02):
of enviro well those sorts of things that you know
what a moose was. But why they would be so
close to the keeper track, I've got no idea, but
it seems to be something that keeps Tianna going. By
the way, if you are doing an escape room, there
was an escape room in Tiano that is based on
the moose. I thought it was rather good. I quite

(05:25):
like small towns that have themed escape rooms, mind you.
Not so long ago, like two weeks ago, we did
an escape room in toned In prison which is down
by the courtroom, down by the railway station. Well, that

(05:51):
will be the last escape room. My youngest boy it terrified.
There was like a body and a fridge. We're not
really a body in the fridge, but the building itself
kind of gave us all the hebgb's in the escape
room itself too much. Anyway, that's enough for me. So anyway,
here till midnight tonight. What do you want to talk about? People?
Feel free to phone it through eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

(06:12):
You'll show my show, our show, your topics, my topics,
all the topics. Get in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine two detext there's something there.
It takes your fancy. Let us know what's going on.
Someone says, do you think cats speak the same language
as dogs? I don't think so. Someone says, if you're
in Spain, you could listen to the radio in your car. No,

(06:35):
it's a battery car and not if you're out of fuel.
But yeah, I'm just curious to know if anyone has
thought about that power cut and whether that has affected
their power outage readiness. I don't have a transistor. Heven
had a transistor for fifty years. I've never had a transistor.

(07:02):
Why would I. It's always in the car. So yeah,
there we go. And the thing about transistors, they're quite
hard to buy. I remember once my mother was in
hospital for a while. She said, no I have You've
got a transistor. But they've really quite hard. They are
hard things to buy. You had to go on online.

(07:22):
But anyway, that's what we all should be buying for
the great power outage when it comes. Tough times are coming.
I'll keep you updated with the situation Canada. That's also
part of my watching brief, because what's happened in Canada
is the guy the leader from the Conservative Party. He's
got a real French sounding name. It looks like he
mightn't be ret Not only is he not going to

(07:43):
be prime minister and he was the raging favorite. Looks
like you won't even win a seatback. People love it
turn around like that, don't they. That's the situation Canada.
I'll keep you updated with that one. I just find
his name, Pierre Marcel. Don't know anything about him, but

(08:05):
he was kind of the Trump esque type guy, and
then Trump declared war on them are now nowhere to
be seen. I don't really know too much about him.
A populist and that's the situation there. Anyway, do get
in touch. You want to start the whole wall Rolling
to eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two text.

(08:26):
I don't like to start the show with a question,
but I will start the show with the question tonight
because something I have pondered a lot. I don't judge
me by this question. I'm just going to ask it
straight and I just want straight responses without judgment. And
this is probably a question I've never heard asked on

(08:46):
the radio. And it's a question I think goes to
the very core of New Zealand history. And it's hard
for me to ask, and it's hard for me to say,
but the question is thus, and I think probably people
from the country and the city could answer, is it

(09:09):
acceptable or the proper thing to do to put your
swan dry in the washing machine? Can you wash them?
And I've got a really good reason to ask that
question because I've got no idea. I've looked at the
labels and I've thought about it, and I've asked people.

(09:31):
No one really can tell me. Is it something you do?
One of these farmers have those sheds of swand dryer.
They will get musty and the dogs sleep on them.
But do you wash them? Particularly to keep them away
from the earwigs and the bugs. So if anyone's got
an experience with that, I'll be desperate to hear from you.
That's the best thing I've got because I suspect probably
you can. But I think most manufacturers now say you

(09:54):
can't wash something because they're scared it's going to go
it's going to go badly and then they'll have to
refund you. But yeah, would you wash your swan dry,
and would you do it on the gentle cycle and
would you put a fabric softer in it? Very straightforward
question from me to you about that one, and the

(10:15):
more the marea that can answer that, not via the text,
via the phone call. Please, I'm sure it's something you
discuss at young farmers cut It's probably not. Actually, I'm
sure most of the farmers have moved on to Swazi
or something that's made somewhere else. Battery Radio is thirty bucks,
Harvey Norman. Really really, Mary Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Marcus. You can wash your swan dry on a gentle wash,
and don't you know, if it looks like it's getting
too much, stop it and take it out. I don't
always spin them, but they wash perfectly well.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
When you say if it looks like it's not handling it,
are you stopping at mid cycle and peeking in? Yeah, yeah, okay,
I just put mine and put the whole cycle. Didn't peak.
What would it look like if it's not going well? Well,
you can just tell, well you can, okay? Are they

(11:14):
like bits of fabric oither and stuff?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
No, it just it just you can tell when there's
enough dirt and stuff come out of it anyway.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
And just you know, and you drive them on the
line or you know how people with woman's they like
the line, not like on a table, on a towel. No, okay,
love you Mary. Wow, you've be in my book, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Welcome play Marcus talk a bit.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Trends of radio, so they support trends of the radio
is from my grandchildren.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Great thing to do.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why they love it?

Speaker 5 (11:49):
They love it.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Listen going to be Lissen Radio.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
And your grandsons probably have grandchildren.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
Event but they love it.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Trends to serio.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
But do they have cell phones?

Speaker 7 (12:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay because probably most people have done their cell phones yed.
But thank you, June. AT's Marcus. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
I always had my over the years, I've always had
my Swan dry.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Dry clean Yes, okay, and that's not about I've had
I've had Swan Drise dry cleaned as well, and it's
been an extraordinary service. But when I took them to
the dry cleaner, I'm not even convinced they didn't actually
just wash them, because I think that was probably because
sometimes the dry cleaners themselves, you don't know what they
will do. Well, they might dry clean or they might
wash them.

Speaker 8 (12:37):
Is that right? Oh?

Speaker 7 (12:38):
Well every time I I just love my Swan driving
and they just came beautiful. Yes, I don't know what
I did to them, but that's what I did.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, okay, no, that's right. And I had a large
number of Swan DRIs dry clean, but it was like
five hundred dollars. I thought, well, I'll start washing them.
Someone said I used to wash mine by hand with
white vinegar, washing soda and soap powder.

Speaker 8 (13:05):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Someone says, never washed. It strips the natural oil out
of them. Well, then what about washing woolens? What about
washing woolens? What about washing woolens? Good evening? Is it
Rose or Rose?

Speaker 8 (13:22):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Rose, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (13:25):
Thank you? And the Swan drive. Just wash it on
genol and take it out, don't spin it.

Speaker 10 (13:37):
Put it on a clothes.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Oh crikey, what's the word A?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
You don't say that word on a clothes horse.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
No, the coach he is sorry, and hang it on
the line.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Rose, Is this something you've done? Because often think with advice,
people say what they think is the right. Have you
actually done this?

Speaker 9 (14:01):
Yes, yes, I have many times.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
That's good to know what's wrong with putting it on
a spin what's wrong with putting on a spin cycle?

Speaker 9 (14:08):
Well, because it tightens up the wall markers and ed'll shrink.
Oh fudget really yeah, well you could genially.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Spin it would would Why would spinning shrink.

Speaker 8 (14:22):
Something because of the wall nuts together.

Speaker 9 (14:30):
Rather than a nylon wouldn't?

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Okay? I don't know, Yeah, okay. Where do people learn
all this stuff about spinning and shrinking? Swan dry? Townies? Well,
country boys won't?

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
What about that person washes these in vinegar? But good
down the chip shop, wouldn't it.

Speaker 8 (14:53):
Good?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Cheap transistors at JCR shops? Cheers?

Speaker 8 (14:56):
Anne?

Speaker 1 (14:57):
You need one for the coming armageddon? A twenty five?
Maureenit's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 11 (15:05):
I'm Marcus about you're swan right? Yeah, I bought one
last century when they're only forty dollars. Yes, and I've
only ever washed it in wall mix on a gentle
wash or a wall wash if your machine's got it. Yeah,
it's a bit complicated, but you put it in that

(15:26):
agitate for a bit, and then you let it sit,
do a bit more agitating, spin it out and just
hang it on the line.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
What's different about that? Because you're using you're using a
spin cycle anyway, aren't you.

Speaker 11 (15:44):
Yeah, it's only a gentle spin and you don't rinse
it because war mix does not have to be rinsed out.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Okay, what's this war mix thing you talk? Can you
spell that?

Speaker 12 (15:57):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (15:57):
It's wool, as in sheep's wool. Yeah, and then mix.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Makes sense and.

Speaker 11 (16:04):
You can get it at the supermarket.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Heard of it?

Speaker 11 (16:07):
It's Oh, it's marvelous stuff. Well, I used to used
to make it. But you can't get luck of flakes anymore.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Oh no you can't. That's right, I know about like flakes. Okay,
this is interesting because most been to understand how to
people these days don't know about wool and what to
do with wool. Like I wish to ask this question
before I washed some of the swan rise because I'm
worried they've I'm worried they've shrunk, but they probably I
don't think they've shrunk. I think they needed a good
dishes around. I just put them in the ordinary washing machine.
In fact, I did it twice to make sure, so

(16:38):
they might have shrunk.

Speaker 11 (16:39):
But yeah, you just just make sure that the water
is not too hot.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
And I did it on a cold wash but we
do on a warm wash anyway, would you.

Speaker 13 (16:49):
No? I?

Speaker 11 (16:50):
Well, yeah, I sort of. I used to have a
washing machine that you could adjust the temperature of the
hot water as it went in. Yes, but since then
I've just done it on a cold wash.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Okay, Well, I report back. I mean I've got yeah,
I mean most of it.

Speaker 14 (17:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I don't really want to divulge too much about my
private circumstances or come across this sounding slightly uptid. Well,
but I do. Battle depends if they've been stored in
the house or if they're in the shed. The ones
in the shed do get what's that stuff that it's
wall called? Don't tell me it's called. I can't remember

(17:30):
what it's called. But yeah, I don't like that anyway.
Get in touch. My name is Marcus head on Midnight
Tonight eight and nine to nine. Two text if you
want to come through, hold your horses with you in
two texts Dave, Marcus, welcome Marcus.

Speaker 15 (17:51):
Don't wash your swan drice for good will?

Speaker 6 (17:55):
So hang on.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
I think if they hang on, Dave, I think, what's
that stuff that that that you get in wool?

Speaker 7 (18:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (18:01):
Lene, no like moth like you know that someone was
telling me they treated for that.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
They're not.

Speaker 14 (18:13):
They're not the markers.

Speaker 15 (18:15):
And near them out, mate, and wear them in the rain.
I just wear wine in the rain. Have I got
a bit dirty in the rain and wash it and
I hang it up and the dry No, don't wash
the Swan dryer, mate, ruin them?

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Tell me?

Speaker 15 (18:29):
Is it is it China?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
There's more than one?

Speaker 15 (18:33):
Yeah, Well, I mean I don't think.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I don't think. I don't think there's a difference. The
fabric is still locally made, isn't it, No, mate, No, no, no,
no nods still all though there's still be in the
same Mate.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
That I've seen it.

Speaker 15 (18:50):
I've had a look at home we have. But the
Swan dry outfit, mate, they're not the same fabric whatsoever.
They're fast inferior to the old key we made Swan driers, mate,
not a patch on it?

Speaker 6 (19:06):
Are you what are you?

Speaker 15 (19:06):
Are you wearing up the catwalk or something?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
I just swore. I don't often swear. I just dumped
that live in the south Dave, For goodness sake, you
and the hornby have anyway getting touched Hittle twelve o
eight eighty. Can't the F word. It will be first
for me, had to dump myself self dumper. Text of

(19:31):
the night. I'm a fisherman who uses a swander at
least once a month. At least once a month. I've
had the same swany for twenty four years. It gets
washed on a normal cycle after every trip. Still mint. Yeah,
I reckon people are wash shy. Oh you can't put
on the spin. I reckon people actually need to wash
their clothes a bit more rigorously. I'll tell you one
thing you don't want to do with a swander is

(19:55):
we went on an Remember when people went on color runs. Yeah,
we went on a color run to Tara Tongue at Taratonga.
Now color run for those that don't know, it's fundraisers
for and you pay some money and you walk around
the track and people throw powder at you. I guess

(20:16):
what it is. I don't know what it is. I
don't even know what is the point of a color run.
It's like the ice bucket challenge pointless. I think you
wear white clothes and end up getting tied eyed and
that becomes your kind of anyway, So we went on
a color run and it was quite enjoyable. I'd never
walked around terror Tonga I think it's the longest race

(20:38):
track in end. Is that what they say? This is
the race track in a nnvera Cargill. So they were
at Teratong and the color run in my Swandrome which
was a light colored Swandrome and ruined just covered. I
don't I don't know what I was thinking. Clearly I
wasn't thinking. But that's that's typical of me, is that

(20:58):
not only will I make a bad choice right, and
the bad choice is not the really bad thing. What
is the really bad thing is the subsequent choice. So
the bad choice was wearing the Swandra to the colour
ru which was reversible. There would have been a solution. However,

(21:24):
what I did pet a panic. I panicked, and I thought,
what I need to do is get the nappy sand out.
I think one of us was probably still a nappies
at that stage. It wasn't me was the youngest kid.
So what we did We got the name, I got
the nappy sand and I thought, well, I'll put quite

(21:45):
a bit in there because it's quite badly stained. And
I put it through that. I thought I'll put another
lot through and put nappy stand back in it. So
what happened as the color got stripped, so it destroyed
the swanderer. Why am I telling you this?

Speaker 6 (21:56):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Because yeah, that's what happened. Anyway, avoid but biological detergents
containing enzymes which will break down the natural protein and
the rule and reduce its lifespan. Marcus is a unimarried woman.

(22:20):
Thirty eight years ago, I proudly told my mother in
law how I washed my husband's swander and hot water
to get rid of the awful sheep smell. The look
on her face told me all I needed to know
about washing such things. Yes, at shrunk get in touch

(22:40):
Oha eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty nineteen. Anyone
listening in Canada, I'd like to hear from you. They've
got the new leader there. Anyone's in the far North
wants to talk about the weather. Anyone also wants to
talk about the Wallabee and Marlborough. Have you seen wallabies
around there? Like they're not in Molesworth Station yet they
I'd be curious to know about that. The moose has

(23:02):
zero chance. Do you think all those people into field
and deer and whatever, someone would have seen them, or
someone would have seen the antlers. What are moose antlers?
Called because that last around for a while, wouldn't they. Yeah,
there's no moose, the giant things that fall over Fiordland's
too steep. What are moose antlers called? They called antlers.

(23:30):
They called it that they palmated or something. They're strange
words for them. Moose antlers are called pedals. Twenty three
to nine, David Marcus, thanks for hanging on their good evening.
Welcome David, here you go. Good, Thanks David. What's happening
right now?

Speaker 16 (23:48):
Swan driers do not wash them. It kills the fibers,
breaks them down, and that if you get it dirty,
put it on the line, give it a beating or
just an airing, because it's natural wool.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
What about the fishermen that's washed us every time he's
gone out and there's no drama.

Speaker 16 (24:09):
Well, yeah, how long has he had it? I've had
swan dryers. You treat him by that? Twenty years? That's
good value.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, but what hang on, David, right that fisherman's had
it for twenty four years?

Speaker 12 (24:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
But what what amazes me?

Speaker 17 (24:27):
Everyone's got And did he wash it?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Okay?

Speaker 16 (24:31):
Did he wash it? Really?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, it's all in the text. I'm a fisherman who
uses a swan dry at least once a month. I've
had the same swan dry for twenty four years. That's
twenty four times twelve. What's that two hundred and eighty
eight times?

Speaker 16 (24:44):
But did he wash it every time? And was it
a full cycle and didn't have chem washed a full guests.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Washed on a full normal cycle after every trip?

Speaker 16 (24:55):
Why would you do that? You got a swan drye
if you air it out, hamm a line, if you
had a spinky really day, you know, working hard or
whatever you handle on the line, come back and smart.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
But David, maybe there's two different ways to do this.
Maybe you could do your beat it on the line,
or maybe you could wash it.

Speaker 16 (25:18):
Why would you wash something that doesn't need washing?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
But why would you be so dyed in the in
the wall about your own way and not respect his way.

Speaker 16 (25:26):
I'm not disrespect I did ask the questions. I'm just
saying that why would you something that is natural? Why
would you give it chemicals? Why would you interfere with
it's natural?

Speaker 1 (25:42):
But we we wash ourselves and we're natural.

Speaker 16 (25:46):
We are If this is its being chopped off sheep, Okay,
it's gone through a process are.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
You like with the will board. No, you're quite passionate.

Speaker 12 (26:01):
You got.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
You got nine on carpets.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
I have no got wooden carpets.

Speaker 16 (26:10):
Oh, I don't have carpet.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Really must be good. Well you got the wooden boards.

Speaker 16 (26:15):
Wooden boards.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Mate, must be freezing in the winter banging around there on.

Speaker 16 (26:19):
The road because I wear a swander eye that I
don't watch.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Good answer, very good answer, Very good answer. Set you
up for that one, didn't I, Dave. But you came
through brilliant. Oh my god, David, if I had a dirty,
fishy swander, i'd wash it. Seriously. It's not illegal. But
you know what, and talk back. Five years ago people
just talk about anything. But now you've got to take

(26:43):
a Now you've got to take a really extreme point
of view, like I'd never ever watched it. I only
ever watch it. No middle ground, No, we lost the
middle ground somewhere around two thousand and twenty. We lost
the middle ground. Woo Tara Tonga is the most southern

(27:09):
motor racing track in the world. I don't think so.
I don't think that's true anymore. I think there's a
lot of motor racing circuits in South America that are
further south. I think a lot of things that we

(27:30):
claimed with the most southern turned out not to be.
It's just we didn't really count Argentina as been part
of our world. Marcus, you ask for no judgment at
your intro, so you should allow all suggestions to be
received without your judgment. That's right, although I do think
I've got to push people when they are to died
in the wall. That's the wrong expression, isn't it, George

(27:53):
Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, Swan drove wool just like socks. When you go
and you go wash it woolen underwear that you went
tramping in and if you're down the cold, which you've
got wooden underwear, if you're down in Antarctica and so on,
you don't not wash that. So what Swan Dry Limited

(28:18):
says on their website simply hand washing cold water, ensuring
you once well, you can use what do they call
Martha's Wall Mix, which is a wool detergent for washing
wool just like you do jerseys, and you do it
in the tub and you do it warm warm to cold,

(28:41):
and then you put the garment out to dry in
the shade if you want it feeling really nice. What
I do with my jerseys is I hand wash them.
I've then squeeze them out and I'll put them into
the washing machine on spin, spin the soapy water out,
and then I'll fill up the tub with fresh clean water.
I'll put them back in that and do a rinse

(29:04):
and put a little bit of what you call it
softener in it, and it makes them really nice. Squeeze
them out, put them back in the washing machine, spin
them out in there, then put them on the line.
But put them to shape. So if you're putting your
jerseys up, you put about five or six pegs on
it so it stays on the you don't get the
pig hole marks. If you want to do it upside down,

(29:26):
make sure you just peg them without folding them over,
and just straighten them out so it's your size. Don't forget.
They will dry to shape on the clothesline. So if
your jersey is a little bit short, you can just
pull it out a little bit and make it longer.
Then you've got a longer jersey to wear. Because it

(29:46):
just moves around. Unlike polyester, it will change shape depending
upon what you do to it. So my suggestion for
a Slanderer. I'm hot chee holding in nineteen seventy is
one at the moment, which is an orange and green
and black, sort of like a scruttish weave. It's got
red and all sorts of nice color. It feels really cool.

(30:08):
It's been washed many times and it's a soft airs.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
So George, George, you've got a lot to say about this.
Congratulates you must have looked forward to this topic coming up,
because you've really given quite a fulsome answer.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, I just put it down to common sense.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
No, but I mean, but you must have it. But
most people don't bother with woolen jerseys anymore because it's
too much fair thing around to wash.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Pares. You know, if you want all that microplass to
cut your nose, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Everyone's got heat pumps. Now you're wandering around in your
house and your yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Well, it's the saying we put a jersey on to
keep the heat pump down. You know, why waste power
to heat the whole room up when you only want.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
To exactly why get out of bed? Is your wife
as fastidious with your woolens as you are?

Speaker 3 (31:03):
She gives them to me to wash.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Wow, I'd like to give you mine to wash because you.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Really go, Well, you're ones that you've got in the
garage are probably smelling a bit moldy and like they've
been there for quite a long time.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
They don't. They're actually a lot of them in the
woodshed enough. There's not enough light in the wood shed.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Okay, that's cool, but I would tend to just give
them a light wash, hand wash, not a machine wash.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Your hand wash it. Oh god, that's oh yeah, oh no.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
That's terrible actually having to do something.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
But I've always warm waters out of warm water George
where I think right? I always think the manufacturers with
their wash instructions are too gun shy. They say, don't
do this, don't do that, because they're scared you're going
to complain. It falls apart. But most of the time
you can chuck it on a cold wash. It's good
as gold.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Well, that's fine. If that's what you want to do
that you would you agree with me? No, you will't
for swander, not for a juicy, not for a woolen.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
God, you're uptight, Okay.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
If you're doing to do a wooden blanket, you do
it in the bath. Don't you. You've got lots of
space for lots of water to get the thing clean
and rinsed out. Was up?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Do you wash your curtains? Of course you do.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
No, you can't wash. What do they call them? Those
solar heat curtains? They just fall apart?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
What the solar head?

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Nobody you call them? One with the solar backing on
the sun.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Reflecting back where you're sitting your son.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Well, it stops the room getting hot in summer, didn't it?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Because you're wandering around in your dumb jersey. Now you're
going to reflect the sun out of your room.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Thermal drapes, thermal drapes, you know those things that you
never heard of. Oh man, you're out of touch.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Is your room too hot? We don't have a problem
with our room being too hot?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
No, we just we just equalized the house. Now, I'm
going to give you a hint here which you may
decide that I'm either a nut or it's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well, at least you preface it with that. I quite
like that.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
So your your listeners can ring and I'll give them
a challenge to ring in. You know those net curtains
you get that are magnetically collect in the middle and
you put them in the front door to keep flies out,
and you walk through them. They're sort of black. They
stick at the top of the door. They dangle down
stuck on the side with a bit of alco and
as you walk through them, there's magnets in the middle

(33:31):
that part company and allow you to walk through.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I never heard of those. What do they call them?

Speaker 3 (33:37):
They magnetic curtains, magnetics fly screens.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Are they a recent thing?

Speaker 3 (33:41):
No, They've been around for ages. So I've got parts
of the house. For instance, the lounge opens up to
the passageway which goes down to the bedrooms. Okay, so
when and there's no doors just by the state way,
the house has been constructed. So when we've got the lounge,

(34:01):
we've got the fire on the lounge. We want to
just warm up the lounge, we're not the rest of
the house. Got a set of those down the passageway
and they just stay closed in winter, and they provide
a block for the heat to go past, so the
heat doesn't go down the passageway. It stays in the
lounge and warms it up quicker. And if you want
to heat the rest of the house.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
They are a mess.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
You can see through they're like a fly screen.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
But the heat. Don't the heat go through it?

Speaker 3 (34:30):
No, but well it does a little bit, but you
can end up with five degrees difference between one side
and the sort of.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Go with a thermometer in each room to working at
your temper.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I've just done tests on it to see if it
does work, and it does work. So what I'm getting
out of.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Tea You need your own show. I'd watch it if.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Somebody has got a house where they find the heat
up part of the house and it's costing them a
lot of money because it just keeps migrating to the
roots of the house.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Don't most people have doors?

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Watching TV?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Don't most people have doors?

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Well, that's fine, if they've got doors, doesn't matter. But
in our situation, we've got a lown that opens to
a passageway which goes down to the house the rest
of the house, but.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
No door because you designed it without a door.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
No, No, this is the house I've moved into when
I got married, So my wife was already here. She
wasn't worried. So well, I've just made it more economical.
So we find that we just stopped, for instance, the
back door. He's got large windows on the side and
they get quite cold through the back door with the chiol.
So we've put a set there as well, and it

(35:35):
stops the air heat, the cold air from the back
door area coming into the rest of the house. And
so you warn the rest of the house up quite
efficiently by just using these mesh curtains stuck in strategic places.

Speaker 8 (35:49):
And I like it.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Georgia, like all of it. Thank you very much. I
feel like that's a delightful insight into your little house,
your dollar's house. I like that a lot. Thank you, jeeps.

Speaker 12 (36:01):
Marcus.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
When I got to work today, I'll be wearing a
pure wool Swan drise zip up vest. It's extremely old.
It's been through the washing machine probably two hundred times
and straight into the dryer. The only issue I've ever
had is the seams of the pockets start to come unpicked.
I reckon a lot of us are slaved to the
inside instructions on our clothes, and a lot of those

(36:21):
clothes of the instructions are probably from a time when
we use those damn ringers they we wisuld use the
washing mashit well. I don't know this, Actually, Marcus, I'm
loving George. He has discovered the solution to a problem
that doesn't exist for ninety nine percent of us. Magnet
mesh curtains to keep the house warm. Wonder if it's

(36:45):
like a really kind of modernist like architectural house's wife
kind of had when he met her. It sounds it
sounds I don't know what it sounds like. Actually cheapest creepers.
What do you got, people? What's happening where you are?

Speaker 8 (37:05):
Anything?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Exse washing instructions? Is John Mitchell coaching the women's rugby team?
I've just got some women's rugby on the team, and
John Mitchell seems to be there looking exactly the same
as he's always looked.

Speaker 12 (37:24):
Must be.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Must be their head coach. Remember when he arrived on
the scene, everyone thought that he I remember when he
was in in conference speaking like he was a guy
with a secret source. We're on a journey, remember that. Anyway.
I don't know what match I'm watching, some old match.

(37:47):
There was a busy hour. What are you going to
be the next hour? Probably more of the same transits
to radios. What about the power grid? I reckon we
should start isolating our grids, so they're not all connected.
Because now that we're the South under the North Island
underneath the channel, I think it's probably all too I

(38:08):
think we're going to have repercussions for this when it
all starts going bad in order. Anyway, that made more
sense when I thought of it before I said it.
Greetings and welcome, Welcome to the second part of the
four part show. Well, I've got on the topics out
in that first. Now I'm not quite sure what'll talk
about now, and if anyone's got any great well, I

(38:30):
just kind of think that there's a whole a lot
of a rich vein of knowledge there with washing woolens.
Who knew that was so complicated what George did? And
out of the tub with flakes and gentle Anyway, I
don't even know where we'll go with that, but cheaper.
I think probably that to why most people just were

(38:53):
I don't know what most people wear these days. Most
people seem to wear just sort of like sporting jerseys
or things, tracksuits or rugby tops or stuff. I hope
the second the faffing around with wool wolves were every
good until it goes bad, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (39:11):
You know?

Speaker 1 (39:12):
With a midriff top anyway. The other thing too, we're
discussed about the important transistors radio is what they've seen
in the situation with Spain and Portugal with the whole
network having collapsed there through some sort of oscillation. But
people can't get radios for love nor money. I've said
it's very hard to buy a radio. People have said

(39:33):
it's very easy. You got a JCR. So there's that also,
like we're talking about the wallabee that's been found in
Marlborough and the moose that's been found near the Kepler
track and Tiano. When I say a moose has been found,
it actually hasn't been found. Some trampers when I said,
yes they saw a moose, they seem like serious people. Yeah,

(39:58):
I mean the moose is all about the palmated antlers.
Have ever seen those? You've got nothing, have you? And
what's with everyone having a camera these days but no
one taking any photos?

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:08):
What you got about that? That's what we are about tonight.
My name is Marcus. Welcome. Feel free to feel free
to give me a hole of there's something that you
do want to talk about that would love to hear
from you. Also to it appears as though this guy
who was the liberal guy in Canada politics, who was
the head of the English Reserve Bank or the English
Bank Carne he took over from Trudeau when it looked

(40:33):
like they were going to get a hiding. And now
he is the Prime Minister of Canada. Yep, there you go.
That's a situation. I can also tell you that the
guy that was supposed to win, who was the Conservative
leader with the French name, he's bilingual, of course he is.
He's lost his seat. So not only is he no

(40:56):
longer the prime minister when he was leaps and bounds
above everyone else, he's now not even going to be returned. Sorry,
that's a bit of an o n goal because he
was kind of Trump esque and now he's looking for
a job. Yep. This guy was the governor of the

(41:17):
Bank of the Canada, and then I think he was
the head of the Bank of England. I think I've
got that right, Governor of the Bank of England. Glad
I've got that right. But let's hear from you if
you want to talk tonight. My name is Marcus welcome
O eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine
to the text. But let's be hearing from you a

(41:38):
couple of texts. I'll read those, Marcus. We came through
Broadwood from Ahi party yesterday. Good road, not much traffic.
That's from Katie Marcus. Ever heard of soda crystals? A
water softer and the cheapest fabric softer of any supermarket
shelves at six dollars for a one kilogram tub. It's

(42:00):
great for soaking greasy work gear or add to every
washload and it cleans your washing machine too. Twenty eight
years using this, mate, and you're in product. Only gone
up in price once by a dollar. Soda crystals, anyone
heard of that? I think we might be discussing weird
things that you wash with tonight. That's what it feels like,
soda crystals. I kind of bypass that isle on the supermarket,

(42:23):
not not the smell of it, but also I'm not
big on different things in washing machines. Never heard of
soda crystals. I'm doing an image search of it now.
But let's stay here from if you do want to talk.
My name is Marcus. Welcome head on midnight. So we've
got the kangaroos or the Wallabies and Marlborough and the

(42:44):
Moose there'll be other topics you'll have also, and there
will be breaking news. When we have breaking news, if
it happens, you'll hear about it here first.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
So get in touch here till midnight tonight. If there's
something else you want to mention, beautiful bringing on. There
might be some topic you think it's important. If it
passes the test, we'll talk about it. What that test is,
I'm never quote sure changes from day to day. By
the way, four hundred and eleven dollars all can christ

(43:18):
du genius in in sixty bucks with Jetstar and Ikea
is about to open in New Zealand. But what they're
going to have is virtual stores around the country, so
if you are on the provinces you can still get
the gear. There'll be like set up shops with consultants.

(43:39):
You go to them and they have a laptop probably
and you'll order through them. So there we go. That's
Ikea and that's going to be huge. I tell you what.
When that opens, the Auckland traffic network will come to
a grinding holt for about a month, just like when

(43:59):
Mana were Bay opened and Aukland remember that anyway, So
we've got flooding. Now this is the first reports of
flooding and Auckland. You guys have been bad. Didn't tell
me about this. This is a news story through at
nine pm. A number of bus routes are experiencing delays
on Auckland's north shore tonight due to flooding. Come on, people,

(44:22):
let me know. The eight six six, the eight eight
two and the next two routes are all delayed at
esmond On southbound heading into the city. So the heavy
rain and severe thunderstorm watches active for north until midnight.
The heavy rain has been moving south down Auckland from
Tuesday afternoon. If you've got details on the weather, it's
important to know about that. Also tonight I trend strong

(44:46):
when it comes to the weather. I like to let
people know about that. If you are on the buses,
let me know. They're the two story ones too. That's
what I've got for tonight people. If you want to
talk good, not long till Mother's Day. That's the eleventh,
second Sunday and May each who knew? Why did they

(45:07):
not tell us that? Years ago? This day in twenty eleven,
Prince William married Kate Middleton. Don't remember that? And on
this day in nineteen forty five, Adulf Hitler and Eva
Braun married. Did they have a honeymoon? I don't think so.
I think they died the next day at their own hands.

(45:31):
Also this day, in eighteen eighty one, New Zealand's worst
civilian boat accident, that is the wreck of the Tara Ruer.
Horroring kind of a story that one, because it just
kind of hit the rocks and they just perished out
at sea. As it was slow to get communication, someone
rode a horse from fort Rose to oh where would

(46:00):
have been to It would have been fort Rose to
not eden Dale, but somewhere near there to Raine to
raise the alert. But it was like days before anyone
turned up. It was one of those horrible situations that
Windham I think they probably went to before anyone got rescued.

(46:20):
So there it was this day in eighteen eighty one.
As a result, then they built the lighthouse at why
Pappa Point. But that's enough for me.

Speaker 8 (46:28):
What have you got?

Speaker 1 (46:29):
People? Feel free to come through eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine nine two to text if you want
to be a part of the show. Be good to
hear from you tonight. Before I kitchen sink chucked a
lot of you, Oh, Marcus over wind up radio and
torch from the trade me store. Someone says, great music

(46:56):
playing in south and there's the radio connection offline? What
does that mean?

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Dan?

Speaker 1 (46:59):
And we got off here? Well I could check? Could
I check on my cell phone? Could someone tell me
if we're off here in Southland?

Speaker 14 (47:12):
They do?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
You want me to go to the car and pull
on a car radio. I don't know what frequency it is, Graham.
It's Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (47:21):
We Marcus.

Speaker 15 (47:22):
I've thought of you.

Speaker 18 (47:24):
You're south Londer. You're just talking about the tara uh
thinking right in my neck me at this very minute.
And my tape my chair is The Wreck of the
Terror Ruh, written by Joan McIntosh.

Speaker 15 (47:39):
Have you read that book?

Speaker 1 (47:40):
I think I have.

Speaker 18 (47:43):
Well, it's got it all in there now on that
boat with my grandfather, my sorry, my great grandfather be ground.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
At what age?

Speaker 8 (47:55):
He was thirty eight?

Speaker 1 (47:57):
How heartbreaking?

Speaker 12 (47:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (48:00):
He was heading back. He and his brother were farming
up here at Greendale and they decided one of them
had to go back because their mother was ailing, and
it was his choice that he would go back. He'd
come out here eighteen years.

Speaker 14 (48:15):
Earlier on a hell of a ship.

Speaker 18 (48:19):
It's all been written up in the paper as well.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
Now.

Speaker 18 (48:25):
It was his choice to go back, and that's as
far as he got, and his brother heard about the
casualties down there, one hundred and thirty one as it
turned out. But his brother went on the train down
as far as Windham, got a horse and rode out
and identified his brother by his clothing that his wife

(48:48):
had made, and he brought him back here. And he's
buried in the Greendale Cemetery not far from where I am.
But if you go into the South and Times, you'll
see an article there where our family went about ten

(49:09):
eight years ago, now eight or nine years ago. Now,
just to sort of remember this issue, there's a big
article in the Southern Times. It's on the computer.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Okay, where's green Day?

Speaker 18 (49:22):
Greendalers thirty miles out of cross Church, out near Darfield.
They farmed here on moth. I'm still on the farm. Well,
I'm still here. My son runs the farm. He's the
sixth generation on the farm. He was thirty eight. He

(49:44):
left a family of four, three girls. Wait, my grandfather
was the boy. He was about two or three years
old then his wife sold most of the farm after that,
but brought it back again later, a lot of it

(50:07):
back later on, and my grandfather started farming when he's
about twelve or fourteen, with his help of his uncle,
just over the not far away.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Hey, So just back to the disaster itself, Graham. And
you've recently read the book, it was harrassica because because
it just had a rock and it was the ship
was fine. But they just were left there for days
bouncing around, weren't they.

Speaker 18 (50:33):
No, No, you're not quite right there.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Well, for a long time.

Speaker 18 (50:37):
No, that it hit the book, It hit the reef
and they put a chap over the side, and he
swam ahead, and he went to a farmhouse or something,
and they checked from that house, rode thirty miles to
wind them on a horse in three hours and raised

(51:01):
the arm. Now the sea was a reasoned me calm
at that stage.

Speaker 10 (51:05):
And they so we're right.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
It went aground at four twenty five.

Speaker 18 (51:12):
Yep, are you right?

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (51:14):
And then she started to get a bit rougher. Yes,
And within twenty four hours it were basically broken up.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Yeah, man, but that's a horring twenty four hours, isn't it?
Waiting for help and a guy to get on a
horse and ride to Windham. And then of course once
they got to Windham, there wasn't much they could do,
was there. There'd be no lifeboats or anything there.

Speaker 19 (51:36):
No, there's no lifeboats.

Speaker 18 (51:38):
But it must have spread around the area very quickly
because a heck of a lot of people went down
to help people that were coming in the surf. I
go back to the book every now and read a
bit more of it. I've probably read it four or
five times.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
I'll pick it up again, Raham, But thank you, but
you're nice to come through. I got a run for commercials.
But apparently we are off air and in the Cargoo
and Queenstown and I don't know why we're just hearing
about that now, but I apologize for that, although there's
not much I can say when in fact, you guys

(52:17):
listening might know that because you'll be off here at
twenty four past nine, Jason Marcus, welcome for the.

Speaker 20 (52:23):
Ending, Marcus. Jason, you've done the South Ones.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Yeah, no, good eh no.

Speaker 20 (52:28):
Good night.

Speaker 12 (52:29):
No.

Speaker 20 (52:29):
I was like I was sixing you a minute ago.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
What music? What music are they playing?

Speaker 17 (52:34):
All sorts?

Speaker 20 (52:35):
Before there was huy Lewis was on.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
Have to be Square or that one?

Speaker 20 (52:40):
Yeah, that's one, yep, yep, what else? Ah, and everyone
swallow goes chick chick chick one two three, and he
stops about throwing out the wrong cable and what you're
talking on it? Well yeah, well he isn't must if
you've been between songs of the week, but about testing
testing one two three, and that point out the wrong cable,

(53:03):
and so we're broaking.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
We're broken with fixing an idea? Is it that one?

Speaker 14 (53:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (53:08):
Sort of yeah, those sort of ones.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Okay, I appreciate you alluding. We got an email, but
the email went to well I didn't get an email,
but the producer got an email, but it went to
spam because it was on a long list. Ah okay,
So I apologize for that because I pride ourselves on punctuality.
So that's tardy, and we will get that fixed next time,
so we'll know straight away when we're off here, although

(53:32):
you can't really talk to the off air people because
you're off here, if you know what I mean. So
it's like, but thanks for your text, Jason, You're a hero.
I appreciate that you for that. Nope, good, Marcus, actually
have eight four six am frequency on and stand by
music is retracking and repeating f YI. So even the
stand by music's not going great, Marcus. If your closer

(53:55):
a bit smelly, but you need them for the next day,
put them on a coat hanger, spray with vinegar nose
smell left in the morning, Marcus.

Speaker 11 (54:05):
Washing.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
So it has been for years dissolved, poured into my
old ford v cured overheating issues. Quick smart king tide
near it today near North Store at nine pm. That
will explain the flooding, Marcaus. I just tuned and I

(54:26):
missed the name of the shipwreck. The dude rode three
hours to wind him. It was the wreck of the
tara Ua t A r A r u A from
Port Charmers to Melbourne. Only got to slope point or
wipe puppa, hit some rocks. Last thing they could hear
was the screams from people so coming to the waves

(54:47):
off shore. None of it's good, is it?

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Woo?

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Of course they didn't have life jackets, I don't think.
I think might have been after that then invented life jackets.
That I feel after every ship they say, then do
they have life jackets on the Titanic. I can't remember.
It's all about the history of life jacket. Isn't it
nice to hear from you, Mary Bell? It's Marcus.

Speaker 21 (55:15):
Welcome, Hello, Mike and Marcus. Lovely to talk to you.
I'd like to start a chat tonight. I've had a
terrible illness with effects thousands of people in New Zealand
and millions over the world. It is called fibrow my
algae or polly my algae, and look it up. It's
usually not curable. They don't know what causes it, they

(55:37):
don't know how to treat it. In its most horrible disease. Honestly,
it really is can I've had it for nine years.
Some people have had it for forty years effect, but
both men and women and children. If you have it,
it is horrible. It's a hell on earth. It's pain, terrible,
other symptoms. You can't really cure it, treat it. I mean,

(56:01):
I take panadole for the pain, and that's not even enough.
It's not nearly enough, and it's a daily, horrible thing.
But I'm sure you'll get a.

Speaker 1 (56:15):
Lot of chat on this, although I have to say,
Mary Bell, I've got if I've got there, Mary Bell,
Mary Bell Murray Bell. So some of the problems I
have right when you talk about something relating to illness, Yes,
it's that.

Speaker 21 (56:36):
They don't know what causes it. There's no treatment.

Speaker 22 (56:40):
It is really really horrible.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
But what sometimes happens if we're talking about something that's
an illness that people have, right, what I have, what
I have fantasy on the radio talking about it will
be inundated with people that will ring up with with

(57:04):
unconventional cures for it and things that people should go
and buy, which I think is not used to anyone
and just aids just adds to misinformation and causes anxiety
to people that have the illness. So I'm always kind
of weary around discussing things like that because for that
very reason, do you understand what I'm saying?

Speaker 21 (57:26):
There was definitely is there. It's imaginable.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
I'm not saying it's imaginable. I'm saying that what will
happen is it will get all sorts of people ringing
out with quack cures. And I know that people are
in so much pain out of desperation, they will go
and spend money buying things that will be no use,
and it will just further add to their heartbreak and
to their difficulty trying to get some sort of comfort

(57:54):
from what they're suffering.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 21 (57:56):
You look it up anyway, you're looking up on Google,
you'll find it.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
I'm very familiar with it, the chronic condition. Yeah, yeah,
horrible anyway, that's what I'm saying. But yeah, but you're
not looking for any help with it, are you? Because
you obviously doing my own thing here and you're never free.

Speaker 10 (58:17):
Of it, are you.

Speaker 21 (58:19):
No, you can't sleep, you can't rest, you're in pain,
brain fog. Oh it's terrible.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Yeah, okay, Well, nice to hear from you. Thank you
for that. Twenty five to ten Marcus till midnight if
you do want to come through. By the way we
are off here, it seems to be in large chunks
of the South Island that would be in Vert Cargol
or Southland, Queenstown, Warnica, Cromwell, Alexander probably also too. So
we are working on that. I will keep you updated,

(58:52):
although you will probably know when it comes back on.
I think we might be getting yeah. Anyway, I never
quite sure whether people are listening on iHeart or on
the radio, but you can go to iHeart if you
want to catch it there. Yeah, I'm always vermindful of that.

(59:14):
Often the times that we have discussed things like and
it comes up from time to time, things like cramp
or what's the other one. We go really big on
restless league and anything that people up and say, you've
got to go and you've got to buy this thing,
and it's obviously it's often some sort of re expensive supplement,

(59:36):
And I can just hear the desperation people's voices they
friendly ring and say, what's that thing I've got to
go and buy? But you know the chances are that
often those things won't work. So yeah, I am. I
feel quite responsible situations like that, So I apologize if
that if it's not the program that you want with
things like that. Anyway, Oh it's quite the night, isn't it.

(01:00:03):
By the way, they've cut the number of ICU beds
then you don't need hospital from thirty to twenty, which
they say will lead to surgery cancelations and prolonged emergency
departments days. Health mini systemian Brown says the changes are
based on updated demand modeling, and the total number of
beads remains unchanged. I can't imagine that's going to go well, yeah,

(01:00:27):
further sign of our crumbling infrastructure. Because of the weather.
There are more fairy cancelations seven meters swells on the
cock Straight from eight point thirty tomorrow night. It's eight
thirty pm Wednesday till two thirty am Friday. The entrailunder
is canceled. Blue Bridge they're canceling from Wednesday. The thirty

(01:00:47):
to Saturday are third of May. So that's the situation
there too, severe Withaan the cook straight. Goodness, gracious me.
I feel for those truck drivers. I mean, so many
cancelations recently. Don't know why that is, If it's because
it's if everyone's I don't know why it is. Roger
ats Marcus, welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:01:08):
How are you good?

Speaker 10 (01:01:08):
Thank you?

Speaker 13 (01:01:09):
Roger actually beside the point. But I'm a truck driver
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Are you know you're not affected by the ronander, are you?

Speaker 23 (01:01:18):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:01:18):
No, no, no, I'm just around town, just around christ
u Year. Yeah, but yeah, you were. You were talking
about friends.

Speaker 12 (01:01:27):
Man.

Speaker 13 (01:01:27):
I suffered beading me from it my legs, you know,
the night in bed and there I just I can
get it my toes, I can get it in my
around my ankle, calf muscles, and stream of me at
some point, and I can wake up in the morning
and get out of bed.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
And it just hits me as well as have you
had any joy with anything to appease it?

Speaker 13 (01:01:52):
Well, I have actually, and I can tell you it's
in about four minutes of taking this pretty much brings
it right. And it's salt.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 13 (01:02:07):
So I put salt in the far in my hands
and liquid and within four minutes, I mean I was
up three times. And I came across it when a
guy had a friend of mine had done a triathmon
and aasterwards decided to go to the bar and have

(01:02:29):
a couple of bears. That both his legs crept up.
And this guy turned around to the bar. He said
if he got any salt, and he said yeah, and
he gave him salt, and I thought him right, I mean,
he had a really bad because it's not good for
whever I've tried that. There is another one that you

(01:02:51):
take the sweets Qunan.

Speaker 19 (01:02:56):
Yeah, yeah, that that can work as well.

Speaker 13 (01:02:59):
But I just did. It's not every night, I get it,
but but I'm doing a big day's work and then
after just it's.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
You at least with the salt. It's free reason, wasn't it.
It's not some great marketing scam, But so thank you
for that.

Speaker 8 (01:03:14):
Sam.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:03:16):
It's good evening, Marcus. We're calling about this lady Mary Anne.
Was that Marianne or somebody just called recently?

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
What was his name?

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
Dan?

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
I still haven't managed to get Mary Bell, Mary Bell,
Mary Bell.

Speaker 22 (01:03:29):
Now, she said, the whole world and a lot of
people were suffering from pain. But we didn't actually hear
what the symptoms were. You didn't understand what that really meant.

Speaker 16 (01:03:42):
So what's the story?

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
She did mention the symptoms and what was that?

Speaker 22 (01:03:47):
Again?

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
She did say there were sleep disturbances and cognitive problems,
brain fig and pain and tenderness and fatigue.

Speaker 22 (01:03:55):
Yeah, but what brings it on was what we wanted
to find out, wasn't it really?

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
She said was?

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
She said? There was no reason it was brought on.
It was still something of a mystery.

Speaker 22 (01:04:06):
So do you feel this near your body or your head?

Speaker 15 (01:04:09):
Or what's the story?

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Do you think?

Speaker 12 (01:04:13):
You do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:04:14):
Do you think you have it?

Speaker 12 (01:04:16):
No? I haven't got it.

Speaker 22 (01:04:17):
But I think if you do a lot of work
during the day, if you have a hot meal at
a midday and a light meal at night and you
can start sleeping better. A lot of people gorge themselves
lake at night and they sleep stomach.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
With respect to.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Her, I think she has something diagnosed. If you're saying
that it's just because she hasn't got having a good meal,
how do you think that's making her feel.

Speaker 12 (01:04:48):
Well?

Speaker 22 (01:04:48):
It depends on how you live how you feel, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
So you think that you think she's got the situation
because she's living badly and not having a midday meal.
Not necessarily that, No, But that's kind of why I
don't like to go down that lane, because, yeah, I mean,
I can understand her ringing the radio station because she's
at a point of despair and wants someone to hear

(01:05:13):
about it. But I don't think what she wants is
people saying that she's because she had a midday meal.
I think no one's going to enjoy hearing that. But yeah,
I mean, bless you and everything, but Jeeves, it's not
freely understood, and I think she was saying that this

(01:05:33):
is a thing that is not understood, but it's not
about not having a midday meal. I think it's more
serious than that nobody listens to Marcus. Do they tell
them where to go? Mark? I hope all the national
voters WI are targing south and are observing the mess
that is to need notritle, and are questioning their past
and future vote. Quick research shows with the terror of

(01:05:58):
there are only twelve life jackets for a passenger and
cruelest of one sixty souls.

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Anyway, get in touch by name is Marcus. Welcome, very
good foods down there. We're kind of doing bits and
bobs with different topics and that's good sometimes by the way,
we are off fear and places at the bottom of
the South Island. We are trying to rectify that. It'll
be the transmitter on the porthills above christ Church, the

(01:06:30):
sugar loaf where the fire, where the fire was, so
it's not it's an unscheduled outage. We've revery good with
the scheduled ones. But no word what caused that. But
once again to the Interron fairies, they're going to be
canceled for three or four days seven meters swells. So

(01:06:53):
here's the question, and I don't want to be making
too much mischief, but with the what were those fairies
called not imax ires. What swelled? What have they gone on?
Because a lot bigger. I'm for sure they were actually
better for those big swells. If anyone knows that any

(01:07:15):
Mariner is out there, who's the guy that's always the
Mariner guy, it's always on the radio talking about what's
his name? Buxton? Who's the guy from the union. So
I can't tell what swells they would be good for
the ira spere were they called the Irax theories? We're
back on anyway, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome back to the

(01:07:36):
fold people. I hope you enjoyed. Huey Lewis, Hi, Fay,
it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 23 (01:07:43):
Oh Hi, how are you tonight? I bet you just
came on last few minutes. Who's trap driver mentioned about
how he gets big cramps. Now, I was mashed up
for seven years ago, and I've been getting very bag
cramped in my league and they go right from my

(01:08:07):
toes right to my my hips. And I couldn't find
nothing to help.

Speaker 17 (01:08:13):
Me at all.

Speaker 23 (01:08:14):
And I as you take videamite because it's got the
salt in it takes salt water. And nothing really helped him.
But I got put onto some amnesia tablets. Now it's
a it's a you put one in a glass water

(01:08:38):
and it fizzes up. It's a very flavor. You there, Yes, okay, sorry,
I'm in a bad area.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
Who put you onto it?

Speaker 23 (01:08:49):
Fae friend of mine put me on it a month ago.
I have one day they just put at night, put
one in a glass water. It's a very flavor. You
get twinkie in a que kid and I've had no

(01:09:09):
creeps for four weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Now, okay, did you say you got in a car accident?
Were your faith?

Speaker 17 (01:09:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:09:15):
I got smashed up seven years ago. It was Win
went Real White, who went real White all over New Zealand.
And I had a little chihuah with dogs that went
that got thrown out the car.

Speaker 1 (01:09:29):
Did the story go viral? Days the story go viral?

Speaker 23 (01:09:33):
Oh yeah, becase my little my little chihuahua went out
the went out the window, and she was off for
seventeen days and she had no food, water, or anything.
And they be a lady found her on trying to
break into a pizza box on the seventeenth day.

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
Bubbles Bubble, Yes, that's right.

Speaker 17 (01:09:56):
Wow, my little girl.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
Is Bubbles still on this planet.

Speaker 23 (01:10:02):
She was two about a month ago, and.

Speaker 12 (01:10:07):
With the.

Speaker 23 (01:10:09):
Being lost in the bush, I think she must have
ate a lot of sharp objects, like we call it, yeah,
prickles and then go back. I think because she actually
stuffed with a lot of horses in the stomach and

(01:10:32):
bleeding black guy we were in that. But I looked
after her for the last seven news and I found
out she had a murmur of the heart. And I
just recently found out six months ago.

Speaker 22 (01:10:48):
And she passed.

Speaker 8 (01:10:50):
I passed on my arm.

Speaker 23 (01:10:52):
And I hope a lot of people are listening to
this because there's a lot of people around the country
that I get asked when I go out of the
house bubbles and no body. A lot of people don't
even know that bubbles gone. That's now passed on. And
it's very heartbreaking. And I still got her with me,

(01:11:15):
but it might sound very strange to people. And a
new march is that I can't because her and I
shed a lot of time becoming better, trying to come
better from the accident, I can't sort of come make her.
And that that I was told I could put it.

(01:11:37):
I could actually freeze her, and I had her as
long as I like. So what she's done. I've put
her Christmas time. We went Christmas, we went camping and
I bought a lovely freezing bag to put our food.
You know, I took her with me.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
Just hang on the phone, just come back. I just
want to get this last break out of the way. Sorry, fair,
I just didn't want you to not be able to
finish the story before before your news. So away. I
oh Christmas, you're away at something about the freezer or something.

Speaker 23 (01:12:12):
We went away camping the family and I talk her
camping with us, and I bought a freezing bag, nice one,
and anyway, I was going to chuck it out about
you know, like a about two weeks before she died.
And I don't know what made me keep it. And
Anyway said to me, you know, you can keep her

(01:12:36):
for as long as you're like, say, twenty or thirty years.
Don't worry about it, you know, just get a box.
And I said, oh no, I'm putting her in a
freezing bag. And she laid the ice down and get
a nice blanket that she loves, lay her on there.
And That's what I've done. And I've got her in
an old freezer out the back. And I talked to

(01:12:58):
you go and talk to her. It's my grieving. It's
helping me with my grieving because I can't I can't
get rid of her. We had a lot of time
in sad time there and I and.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
And did you did you have a did you have
a spear freezer in the garage?

Speaker 22 (01:13:17):
Yes?

Speaker 23 (01:13:18):
Is a friend of mine passed on and I got
asked with I liked to have the freedom freezer and
I don't know why, and I didn't really need it,
but I took it. And it's it seemed to be
just waiting for her. And so you know, I mean,
there's over two thousand people out in Calpo looking for her,
two shifts a day to twelve hour shifts a day.

(01:13:40):
And it went via. I had people from England and
Australia wanted to help the people to come over and
look for her and everything. And that's why Bubbles it's
got her own little with a viral website. It's called
Bubbles in Tawfo.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
I look into that, Fay. I've got to go go
to write on news. But thank you so much for
that story. Wow in past ten people of New Zealand,
I hope, But of course it's been a roller coaster. No,
it's been an emotional show, hasn't it. Wow, Gee, Fay
in a cramp. But I mean that's just the beginning

(01:14:22):
of the story, really, isn't it. Anyway, if you want
to continue with some of these discussions, well that's the
point of the show. I enjoyed talking about washing Woolen's
actually also that was very much the dominant discussion for

(01:14:46):
the first hour. The second hour was all sorts of things.
But yeah, I and as I say, I'm very mindful
about that health stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:14:56):
I just.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's probably best to get
professional help rather than be radio diagnosed, because I think
can encourage people to go and buy all sorts of
expensive things that may not work. I don't really want
to be party to that. That's just me. But yes,
I guess cramp's all right because cramp is fit. They

(01:15:19):
entry level. But anyway, do you get in touch. You've
got to talk Marcus till midnight the number eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two to text.
Fair bit of news happening around the world. Also, it
seems as though the leader of the opposition and the
Canadian elections has not been elected even to government. This

(01:15:39):
is a guy called poui la veret bi lingual. Presume
he's from the French, see from Quebec, so you might
want to mention that as well. I don't know what
you say. You might be listening in Canada. Amazing the
storm were not the storm, the electrical outage in Spain

(01:16:00):
and Portugal with their whole kind of electricity infrastructure going down.
A lot of people have been going to the shops
trying to buy radios which have sold out. So bear
in mind the essential thing you probably need is a
radio with batteries in cases a soul of flare or
the grid collapses. Although during the news I've just been
thinking if the radio, if the grid does collapse, I

(01:16:22):
will be broadcasting because we have generators, so I'll be
on the geny doing all the talk and everything like
that because we will have power. However, once upon a
time and power cuts, talkback would have been able to
take phone calls because the phones were separate from the

(01:16:42):
power grid. I think now if there's a power cut
and we have a total outage, we won't be able
to take phone calls. So I'm not entirely sure how
much use I would be running a radio station during
a total outage, and that makes me think that I

(01:17:05):
need to get prepared for them, because how will I
get the information to tell people about I Probably we
probably need to get some sort of Ham radio preparedness
so I can actually people can I mean we don't
get back to pigeons, surely, but I mean Ham radio

(01:17:27):
might be the situation because the radio Hams will do.
I've never thought about that. I've often wanted to be
brought into the civil defense discussions. But radio is not
going to be good if there's no power because I
won't get in for there won't be the Internet to
tell you news or anything, so there's no way for

(01:17:47):
people to get me the information for me to broadcast it.
I never really thought about that. Roger Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (01:17:57):
I'm a different broacher, not the one in the corner before.
I used to get cramp and I got Nsian tempers
and I got the doctor to prescribe some and I
took them and it took clemp away. But and then
there was about three years ago, and I've been doing

(01:18:20):
some exercises when I get camped, especially after I do
something Gardene and my cramps come back now and I've
got the doctor to prescribe another course. So I've taken
them for two weeks, and that they're four four hundred
in g tevers. Most temples are about twenty, but these

(01:18:45):
are four hundred. And I'll take it for a couple
of weeks, and I think the cramp will go away. Okay,
doing exercise, doing exercises. I had the crap for about
three or four years.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Okay, I appreciate that, Roger, thank you. Sixteen past ten Marcus.
I will be listening during the Power Cup with my
generator running hopefully via iHeart. So long as the generator
and the exchanges work. I don't think the cell network.
I think the sale network will go down. I think
that's the situation Portugal. In Spain, everything went down. So
we've talked about radio being the civil defense place that

(01:19:26):
you go to. But if there's a nationwide shut down
and we're operating on generators, we won't be getting much
information in either because the incident everything will collapse. That's
my take. I wonder, woo oh, I know those silly noises. Hey,
if there's other news around the world, I bring that
to you.

Speaker 8 (01:19:43):
What did I have?

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
I had something that was important. Oh, that's right, the
number of emergency intensive care beds that Dunedin has dropped
from thirty till twenty, calling it the latest broken promise.
Also other news, the intron Fury is canceled from tomorrow
till Saturday and Friday. Blue Bridge the enter island are

(01:20:07):
seven meters swells. I was asking a mariner to know
whether the new fairies that we're not getting what the ones,
whether they would be going in those conditions that was
going to be a more robust network, because this network
is not robust at all. Here's a question for I
just see one for sale at tauvelandan nineteen eighty eight program.

(01:20:29):
Where did they skate when they came to New Zealand
in eighty eight? Like here again in eighty six? Were
they I was just curious to know where that happened,
because they were quite a big deal in the time.
So if you've got some information about that, I'm not
quite sure why I want to have a Taiveland night.
But for a while there in the eighties there was
nothing bigger than Turland Dean. They went to the Olympics
and they did balero and people thought they danced as won,

(01:20:56):
and the world was theirs for a while. They toured
widely and they came to New Zealand often, like no
other ice skater ever has. I'm just trying to think
about where they actually skated someone. I think they put
special I think they did special arenas or rinks for
them and I get in touch. Oh eight hundred and

(01:21:22):
eighty ten eighty Marcus. I deflect swallows making their nests
on my home by placing tinfoil cut of strips and
wedges in the window frame. Their reflection on the waving
strips of foil skis them off. Works good anyway, jump
in if you want to talk. Lines if you're trying
to get through there are some lines have become available
with your name on it. If you don't want to talk.

(01:21:45):
I've chucked their tall van Dinas to sort of slightly
light in the show, but after poor Bubbles, I felt
sad about that and the people with the cramp. So
someone says Marcus, a solar array would keep the show
on air. Cell phones can be charged. Yeah, well, it's

(01:22:07):
interesting because the station can go because we would have generators,
and I think the transmitters would have generators. So I'm
not worried about me being in the studio. The studio
would be live and the transmitters would be live. But
what worries me is I'd have no information to give
anyone because there would be no way for people to
get the information to me. The phone network would be down,

(01:22:30):
the Internet would be down. So I'll be sitting here
with nothing to tell people. And I'd never thought about
that until tonight, because there's no way for people to
get me road closures, traffic editions, anything like that, because
the internet won't work if the powers down. So I'm

(01:22:50):
not quite sure if anyone got the information about that,
but I'd be curious to know. And where were Tall
and Dean when they performed in the eighties in New Zealand.
I think it was a very very very big deal
forty years ago. I think I'm not quite sure which
olymp but he was the cloak. She was the cloak.
He was the cloak. They sung and or they skated

(01:23:13):
and triberl of music, and he was the coake for
she was who knew what happened, But there was a
while that was the only show in town apart from
that hypnotist that was forever here. I don't know what
Olympic I think I mean nineteen eighty four Olympics. They
got the gold Sarajevo, Ravels Ballero. Go and watch it

(01:23:35):
if you like. There's a couple of good things there
on the internet. One is Tauvenden's ballero performance. The other
would be Creed's halftime shout at the super Bowl. That's right, Creed,
Janet Marcus, welcome, Thank you Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:23:52):
Yes, I saw Torvill and Dean when they came out
to New Zealand and the show was at Trenton.

Speaker 1 (01:23:59):
Oh oh is it a hut?

Speaker 24 (01:24:04):
Yes, that's correct. My girlfriend and I went down because
I'm in Hastings. We went down there in the bush busy.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
It was that good to get a bus together for tailvan.
Now what was it Trentham? Where did they put it
on at?

Speaker 24 (01:24:18):
I think it was at the race course. I can't
quite remember. It was, as you say, about forty years ago, yes,
and I think they were. They had the ice, you know,
laid out all there for them. It took them a
while to get their eyes ready for.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
Them because you wouldn't you wouldn't eat ice, wouldn't you.

Speaker 15 (01:24:38):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:24:38):
Yes, okay, Oh years and the show was absolutely amazing.
They do Billero, Yes, they did, Yes, it was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:24:50):
I kind of wish i'd gone, Jennet, but thank you.
I appreciate that. Never thought I ended up talking about tall. Gosh,
it's been a roller coaster of a show to go
from washing your Swan Rise to Billero and tool and Dean. Jenny.
It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:25:03):
Oh, good day, Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:25:04):
How are you good?

Speaker 1 (01:25:04):
Jenny good? Jenny good, Jenny good.

Speaker 25 (01:25:07):
I went to Tabland, Dean back in the eighties, and
I went to up and Worry in Auckland.

Speaker 12 (01:25:14):
Really yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:25:16):
There was like a big warehouse that they turned into
an ice rink. And I remember it was a horrible, wet, cold,
miserable night driving up there, and it was freezing cold
because it was an ice rink.

Speaker 1 (01:25:28):
That was the wool store or something. What have I
got that right?

Speaker 25 (01:25:31):
Yeah, somewhere it was in a Worry.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
It might have been the wool store.

Speaker 25 (01:25:36):
I don't know, but I've still got the program that
you talked about.

Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
I see ones were selling. Trevor looked at it. I thought, gosh,
I wonder when they were here.

Speaker 26 (01:25:42):
Okay, how much how much of it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
We've a ready got one. Oh you wonder how much
yours is worth?

Speaker 8 (01:25:47):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Buy now twenty dollars?

Speaker 25 (01:25:52):
Oh hell no, keep it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
Starting price a dollar?

Speaker 12 (01:26:01):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:26:01):
Butte for Dan for his Christmas present, Superstar War. I
think they came with the Russians, did they?

Speaker 7 (01:26:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
Were there are a couple? That there is a cop?
Was he's a police for the couple? Steve Marcus welcome?

Speaker 14 (01:26:13):
Oh hi, Yeah, I just wanted to comment on Turvill
and Dean. It was was the worry Wallbroakers warehouse that
it was held him at a worry and I was
working there at the time, and so we actually got

(01:26:33):
free tickets to the show.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
This is a great.

Speaker 14 (01:26:39):
We actually because of working they got to see them
now all set up and do their practicing.

Speaker 13 (01:26:46):
You know.

Speaker 14 (01:26:47):
So I got the tickets to my parents to go
to see the show. But I actually found it more
interesting watching them practice. And I can never remember which
was which is which Tauvill and Dean. It's Taville the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:00):
Or the Christopher Dean. Yes, I think Christopher Dean is
the guy and Jane Corvill is the woman.

Speaker 14 (01:27:06):
Right. He was immensely strong. Yeah, yeah, you know, I
got to stand right next to the guy and the
legs on the just he was just incredibly strong.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
So well they steve when they took out a wall store,
that was those massive bales of wall to cell overseas.

Speaker 8 (01:27:25):
Is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:27:27):
Yeah, I was training as a wall broker at the time.
They didn't last long.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
For me, so woll was still bigger. They still had
a warehouse full of wool in the air because that
wouldn't be there anymore, would it.

Speaker 14 (01:27:39):
I'm not sure. It was actually the biggest warehouse in
the Southern Hemisphere.

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
It was huge.

Speaker 14 (01:27:47):
They have a train would come in and that you know,
follow train up with the wallbales.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
So where did they put the war bales for Tolvelandean?
Did they have somewhere else to put them or was
it a quiet month?

Speaker 12 (01:28:00):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:28:00):
That was just part of the warehouse, you know, it
was that massive. I think it covered something like thirteen acres.

Speaker 8 (01:28:06):
It was huge.

Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
Do you still do much wool broking in your spare time?

Speaker 14 (01:28:11):
Oh not at all. It just wasn't like you.

Speaker 1 (01:28:14):
And also too, it's gone. I mean wolves, I mean
you know you got to pay someone to take it
off the sheep. Now, don't take it away.

Speaker 14 (01:28:21):
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's still gone downhill. It was huge
back in the day, about forty years ago. I'll tell
you what. The floor in there was as slippery as
a nice frink anyway, because all the oils from the
well it would come out into the concrete. And boy,
there was a lot of people that asked over and

(01:28:43):
got taken off to A and E.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
Did the ice skater recks smell of wool tour? Do
they get the spell out of the warehouse?

Speaker 26 (01:28:50):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:28:50):
You would never have been able to get the smell
out of it. Yeah, you could have smelled it for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:28:55):
Okay for a good thanks to I can't believe we've
got a call from someone that was actually working there
the Worry Wool stores. I think they're in christ Chitch too,
were there?

Speaker 8 (01:29:02):
Someone will know.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
I don't know if they're still skaty the taurl Linden.
I know they still skate together. They probably are sick
of each other. Twenty four away from eleven, Hello Janets, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:29:13):
Hello.

Speaker 27 (01:29:13):
I thought you were going to tell me about christ Church.
Does anybody said they were in christ Church?

Speaker 22 (01:29:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
I suspect they would because I imagined Tolblanden would go
well there.

Speaker 27 (01:29:23):
Yeah, I went to well Ma and I went to them,
and I'm pretty sure from tomorrow we would have gone
up the other day. I have no idea it might
have been there the Edvington show, Grahams summer.

Speaker 1 (01:29:36):
Yeah, I don't look up. Well, I'm not bigger, I don't.
It'd be have to be somewhere bigger. Hop If it
wasn't there, where would it be?

Speaker 27 (01:29:43):
Yeah, And I was reading on the IPA the other day.
I think they've just retired really from all shows.

Speaker 6 (01:29:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
Really he was a cup one here from from not
from where's Robin hood from? Is that right from Nottingham?
Or she would something like that, weren't they?

Speaker 9 (01:30:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 27 (01:30:02):
They Well, I don't know, but I know that he
was a policeman right up on the telly on the
iPad just in the last few weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
Okay, well, I wonder how old will they be. I
guess they're in their late mid sixties, are they?

Speaker 27 (01:30:15):
Well? It had a photo of her with her two
children and they weren't babies, they were no, Okay, probably true.

Speaker 1 (01:30:23):
Okay, I'll tell you what. Gener'll see if I can
find out for Eddington. Also, I'm just looking at them
on now and gone professional. Turn the Olympics, they went
to lily Hammer. That's right, didn't do well at lily Hammer.
The sport had moved on. Then they were retired and

(01:30:49):
Fry four was announced that twenty twenty five would be
the final time skating together before they would be tiring
at the end of the UK tour, which runs until
April May twenty twenty five. Gosh, quite a timely topic
for us. There's a new documentary titled Tall Landan the
Ice Skating Years three D. That's not three D. That's
going to be sometime in twenty I'll watch that. Wasn't

(01:31:14):
that Tanya Harding? She was always a bit of fun,
won't she. I'm just looking at the private life of
It's they've got a big Wikipedia page. Doesn't really say well,
I guess they have their own Wikipedia page. You'd only
get that. They'll get the joint one and their individual page.
Probably just trying to think what he did after personal life,

(01:31:42):
married twice, married three times. Dean took part an episode
of DNA durning to Tracy's family Roots. You also appeared
on The Math Dancer as Beagle. Very Good, Good Evening.
Sue's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:32:01):
Oh, good evening, Marcus. I actually went to see Taurvill
and Dean. I an Invercargo at the time, and there
was a bus us load. It was, you know, an
excursion up there. We stayed in christ Church overnight and
it was in a huge marquee in Hagley Park.

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
Was it really?

Speaker 10 (01:32:23):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (01:32:23):
It was.

Speaker 4 (01:32:24):
We sat on wooden planks and whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
It's quite a week and it's two days. It's a
long trip on the day for the bus. Then yes,
staying there watching that, staying the night and coming back
the next time.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
I got that right, Oh yes, that's right.

Speaker 22 (01:32:37):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:32:38):
I was an absolute so madly keen on ice skating.
I'd learn to skate in christ Church, skated for twelve
odd years competitively, and I just couldn't not go to it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:53):
And it was everything you thought. They were extraordinary, weren't
they Ah.

Speaker 4 (01:32:57):
Absolutely amazing. Just knowing just how much it takes to
do those jumps and things, it's yeah, they were just
quite thrilled.

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
And I don't I don't want, I don't. I can't
say this is an elegant way. But he really throws
her around too, doesn't he. I Mean, she's all over
the show.

Speaker 4 (01:33:14):
Yeah, although once once you're skating and you've got a
certain amount of speed there it is a lot easier
than just standing on the ground and trying to do
it and with it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:25):
So were the others with them?

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
Was it just?

Speaker 1 (01:33:27):
Were there other dances and just the two of them
for the whole night?

Speaker 8 (01:33:30):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:33:30):
No, no, there was.

Speaker 4 (01:33:31):
There was other people there as well.

Speaker 3 (01:33:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:33:34):
Yeah, and they did the Billiro which oh.

Speaker 1 (01:33:37):
Gosh, I've just been watching that during the commercial break.
So okay. So it was certainly a Marquis Hagley.

Speaker 18 (01:33:45):
Park, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:33:47):
I can't remember what year it was, but.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
I think that might have. I think they might have
come twice eighty six. I actually met him at an
event in Sydney in eighty six, so there are certainly
in Sydney in eighty six, and I can't quite think
what the event was. It was at a theater and
it wasn't an ice skating if. I don't know why
he was there anyway, doesn't matter. Should keep my diary.
Often say that nineteen to eleven run Turveland Dean were

(01:34:12):
in the Tailvelandan Zone Garriot's Marcus welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:34:19):
Yeah, the tauvel and Dean, you're getting sick of that.
Years I saw them in Christ. They did have like
curtain raisers, I suppose you could call it, and if
I remember rightly, they were some of the Russian Olympic
dancers as well, so they had quite a big show

(01:34:40):
and it was spectacular, you know. I sort of I
was a bit hesitant because going to skating was like
guys don't go to ballet. But I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And it was in Hackley Park in a massive, big
like circus Marquee, and.

Speaker 1 (01:34:57):
Ye know it was you travel trailed from Were you
in christ ch for it?

Speaker 17 (01:35:02):
I was living in Christ at the time, yes, And
it was no problem. I was living in Reckon. It
was just a short walk to.

Speaker 1 (01:35:11):
Who persuaded you to go Gary if it wasn't your
cup of tea?

Speaker 17 (01:35:15):
My wife of course, and the best things you'd ever
said here and now I was quite pleased I went.

Speaker 12 (01:35:23):
Now.

Speaker 17 (01:35:23):
The other thing, the Titanic did have life jackets, but
they were very, very poor because when the car Pavier
pulled up to help later in the after the the drama,
a lot of the people that had the life back,
they weren't like today's life jackets say they were faced

(01:35:47):
down and unfortunately that you know, it was tragic.

Speaker 19 (01:35:51):
It was just tragedy.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Unconscious. If you go unconscious, you'd fall forward, I.

Speaker 17 (01:35:55):
Guess exactly exactly, and not like today's life jackets that
sort of hold people's heads up automatically. But no, that
was just I've been a lot like it. It was
an amazing tragedy.

Speaker 19 (01:36:10):
It was just unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Gary, I'm always I'm always fascinated by it, and once
in a while I do quizits for the kids because
they there. You know, they saw the movie and we've
made the lego model and the number of funnels in
the fake all of it. But there's always interesting lego
model of it. It's quite a big deal. It's one
of the biggest models there is. Your friend of mine

(01:36:34):
bought it for them and it's you can break away
and you can see all the different parts.

Speaker 17 (01:36:39):
But it's, oh, that's great.

Speaker 1 (01:36:42):
So where are you are you reading on the internet
about the Titanic? Is that what we get?

Speaker 17 (01:36:48):
I've been I've been addicted to it for about two
or three months. I've been at it and at it.
I've been listening to interviews of people who survived that
were recorded way back. I think the latest sort of
recording of a survivor was sort of nineteen seventy. They
spoke to a woman and actually just the other day

(01:37:10):
and it was only, oh, I don't know how long ago.
It was the oldest survivor, you know, the one who's
looked the longest diet, and.

Speaker 1 (01:37:22):
It wasn't There's always there's always something up for auction.
I think it was a letter the other day that
was up for auction that someone had someone that could
come or posted from the he said, the ship's good,
feels quite safe or something.

Speaker 17 (01:37:36):
The stuff they've they've traced around that watch. His name
went down on one of those things and they plucked
away and they picked a few shoes up and a
few handbags and all that stuff. It's there's a big museum.
I forget where it is.

Speaker 1 (01:37:52):
It's I think it's summer in Northern Ireland where it
was made. It looks pretty good.

Speaker 17 (01:37:59):
Yeah, yeah, I've got I've been obsessed by the blooming
thing and why it just gets more because it's so
interesting and it was and there's so many side stories
to it and side stories about people that were on board,
you know, like the wealthy people that were on board

(01:38:21):
when they found that guy Asta or whatever his name was,
he had two thousand, eight hundred pounds in his pocket,
you know, poor devil, and you know those sort of things.
There's just so many side stories to it that just
never ends.

Speaker 1 (01:38:37):
And I always thought it was time toys. I always
thought that the movie was really good. I know that
people thought there were some inaccuracies, but I thought it
was a I thought it was a pretty good thing
to watch. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 17 (01:38:50):
Well, I haven't watched it because I've seen little bits
of it, little trailers and bits and pieces, and as
I've sort of been going through it, they some of
the docco stuff I read has got little flashes of
that movie in it. But I'd like to see it.
I would, but I'm a bit afraid it might commercialize

(01:39:11):
it too much for me.

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
But well, I mean there's a love story in it
that probably didn't really happen. But apart from that, you
know the I think he's a prey obsessive guy, James Cameron.
I mean, I think it's a fairly it's a fairly
exacting replica of it.

Speaker 17 (01:39:26):
Tell me, have your lad's got have they got the
Lego one sitting at home? Yes, Oh that's impressive. I'm
so impressed. Yeah, yes, it's one of your.

Speaker 1 (01:39:38):
Boys' tracker and track and Denby. Yep, that's right.

Speaker 17 (01:39:42):
Yeah, because I remember when they used to play rugby.
I used to watch them.

Speaker 1 (01:39:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, I still. I think the season's about
to start again, is it? I think the first game?

Speaker 6 (01:39:50):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 17 (01:39:51):
My my boy my grandson was playing around the same time.
It's your fellows, but he's not playing rugby and he's
into the indoor basketballs.

Speaker 1 (01:40:04):
And Southern seems very big on basketball because they all
because the Shark seems to be the only show in
town and people love to go along and watch that week.

Speaker 17 (01:40:11):
It helps as well, Marcus the big thing himself and
is any indoor sport will go.

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
I'm going there on Saturday, Gary, I'll be off. It's
the first match that hasn't been on a work night
for me, so I'm looking forward to that. Nice to
hear from you, Gary, love it. It was probably the
peak of the British Empire Tailveland Dean winning the gold
at Sarajevo. Leslie, Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:40:36):
Oh yes, good evening, Marcus. I saw Tauveland Dean on
the eighth of January nineteen eighty nine at Auckland and
that was with the Moscow All Stars Champion Stating Company.
So they were the superstars of Russians.

Speaker 1 (01:40:56):
And this was at the Wolf Store and Werry was it, Leslie?

Speaker 26 (01:40:59):
No, No, this is out at green Lane Showgrounds.

Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
Yes, yes, yes, that's right. Must it must have been?
They must have do it twice.

Speaker 26 (01:41:09):
Yes, Now, he choreographied six items on that program and
danced with others, but he did six with Tavel and Dean.

Speaker 1 (01:41:21):
Yes, and they did ballero.

Speaker 26 (01:41:23):
Oh, yes, yes, they did that just before the interval. Yep,
I've got it here the interval.

Speaker 1 (01:41:31):
You've got the program?

Speaker 26 (01:41:32):
Yes, but I haven't got It's only a xerox copy.
It's not the front run.

Speaker 4 (01:41:39):
I think.

Speaker 26 (01:41:40):
I think my friend that I went with, she's probably
got the cover of it. So I don't haven't got exactly,
but I vaguely remember that it was out at Green Lane.

Speaker 1 (01:41:51):
I think you might be right to all get confirmation
on that, Leslie.

Speaker 10 (01:41:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:41:54):
Bennett's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 10 (01:41:56):
Oh, Marcus was at hanging tonight around you good, thank you.
I was a butt young for table and Dane. I
remember watching on TV. I was kado done a night
watching on the Olympics or whatever they're don't and next
thing we start doing like the tapewalk backwards like the moonwalk,
you know, Michael Jackson said.

Speaker 12 (01:42:16):
But I Duge was talking about the Titanic on on YouTube.
If you look out audio book, there's there's something in
there goes about four hours more even be less, and
it's someone interviewed the people were actually on boat after

(01:42:37):
all said and done, and it got different versions of
what actually happened because they said that the captain went
up into his bridge and died holding a cattle whatever
it was. But it wasn't really like that at all.
With there's two or three accounts of how he actually
died according to what people saw. But that's really interesting

(01:42:57):
because it's like a lot of people telling their facts
on what they saw.

Speaker 1 (01:43:01):
You know what I mean, what do you google to
get that?

Speaker 5 (01:43:05):
Ben?

Speaker 12 (01:43:07):
I think it's an audio books, Marcus, I suppose you
put an audio book to attack I guess, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:43:16):
I'll see if I can get the title. Ben think
because Gary like that. I appreciate that coming through.

Speaker 6 (01:43:19):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (01:43:19):
Thank you one of my favorite quotes. It might go
for four hours or even less brilliant because you think
it makes me as they're four hours or maybe even longer,
but not four hours, maybe even less. Ooh, Taveland. They
are in Sydney. If you want to go and see them,
They're in Sydney. June twenty twenty five Tave and din

(01:43:41):
Our Last Dance, Kudos Bank Arena. Some of you will
want to go. Select a date twenty second of June,
the Winter Solstice. Keep me updated. Not right now, I'm
just gonna tell you how long tickets are. Find tickets.
What do you want a VIP package? Dan, Now, I'll

(01:44:04):
get you the souvenir ticket. I'm just finding out how
much tickets are people because somebody who want to go,
you get it fro about one hundred bucks a hundred
and I kind of sold out that. Well, it's a
big arena. I'll go look for a slightly more expensive
would be cheaper than going to the Titanic because it

(01:44:26):
didn't work out well, did it? Gold Vip experience, Well
said Canoe service, but it's a CANape service Gold VIP experience.
I can't see how much of those tickets are Actually

(01:44:50):
it's always going to have someone's going to go for
a VIP. Then they can't just go can they go
to have a VIP? That's when you want to get
skate with. I can't see how much that is. Anyway,
there you go, there'll be of interest to some people.
Twelve and Deine Sydney. Funny that ice cutting is big

(01:45:11):
in Sydney because's quite a warm place. Harllyott's Marcus Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 6 (01:45:19):
Marcus is the oudly lady that played Rows in the
movie Titanic. She was an actual survivor.

Speaker 1 (01:45:30):
Really did we know that?

Speaker 6 (01:45:33):
Which is one hundred and one years old. You can
google it.

Speaker 14 (01:45:37):
And you'll find it.

Speaker 6 (01:45:38):
Yeah, And I was just thinking it's sunk in nineteen
twelve and it's been on the bottom of the ocean,
and a lot of history has gone by since it's
been down there. You know, two World wars Man goin
to the Moon. There's a lot a lot of history

(01:45:59):
being gotten above those ways whilst the old re's been
down there. But yeah, she as a survivor. She played Rays.
But in the finish of the movie when she got
that diamond and through her to the ocean, I went, well, yeah,
but the diamond when she got a portrait taken, chatted

(01:46:24):
around her neck and nobody found it. But yeah, actual survivor, Harley.

Speaker 1 (01:46:32):
Yeah, can I just suggest something?

Speaker 14 (01:46:35):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:46:37):
I think in that movie, right, yeah, she was playing
Rose when Rose was older.

Speaker 3 (01:46:47):
No, that.

Speaker 6 (01:46:50):
She took the part of like the old lady the story.
She told the story, but she took the part of
his raise. But I think that was a little bit
of fiction. But she she was an actual survivor.

Speaker 1 (01:47:05):
She's been on the tit that she's been on the Titanic.

Speaker 6 (01:47:09):
She was a survivor from the Titanic. You can google
and look one and one years old when she played that.

Speaker 12 (01:47:19):
Look it up?

Speaker 1 (01:47:20):
Yeah, we would I look it up? Where did you
look it up?

Speaker 12 (01:47:25):
I just googled it.

Speaker 6 (01:47:27):
Brilliant, just put down the only woman in the movie Titanic?
Would she actual survivor? And it comes thick? Yes, And
she played rows.

Speaker 1 (01:47:39):
Okay, once you play once you play herself.

Speaker 6 (01:47:46):
She was telling the story, all right, So I mean, no,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:51):
I mean I appreciate the generous of your generosity with
your information, Harley.

Speaker 12 (01:47:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:47:59):
Anyway, Marcus, I'm going to see Taveland Dean with my
daughter and two friends in June at Melbourne. Three prices
for tickets depending on we see ours will one need
adh but they are close to the ring. Really looking
forward to seeing the show. Maria Marcus, great show.

Speaker 12 (01:48:17):
You are right.

Speaker 1 (01:48:17):
The rugby season is about to start. Same up here
in Auckland with the mighty Packelanger Prezzies. We may not
have Torveland Dean, but we do have tea Dog and
Dan and they will be throwing Mitchie and Scott around
just as impressively to win our lineout ball and Kacunell
to the rest of the ball in hand. On the
wing show to the boys were listening up the runger,
Johnny comms, Thanks Johnny. We are talking Taulveland Dean when

(01:48:44):
they came to New zenand which I think must have
been twice, it might have been three times. I think
that's why they're surprised they won the gold Naty four
because long with the gold was won by the Russians,
because they took the Olympics so seriously and by the way,
the ice dancers never have been the same since, has it.

(01:49:05):
Oh yeah, and also the Titanic. I don't want to
break it to Harley, but he's got his own particular
google And that's fine if that's what he wants to believe.
But I don't have a problem with that. Now here's

(01:49:27):
the here's the interesting about information. Marcus Harley is correct.
The elderly Rose was a Titanic survivor. The next text
just found this online. Know the actress who played Rose
in the movie Titanic did not survive the sinking of
the ship. Nathan, mhm, there we go. But I don't

(01:49:59):
know why people would. No, I don't even know what
to say about that. Well, that's the thing, there's so
much information now that people find out we whoever they want.
The Story of the Titanic was a movie, a fictionalized
movie based on the shipwreck the Titanic, and the storytelling

(01:50:30):
device involved around an old woman. I know, well, are
you ready to go back to Titanic? An old woman
going back to the side of the wreck, And then

(01:50:51):
they went back in time to tell the story, and
then they came back to her as an old woman
remembering it and how she survived in the Lost Love
with Leonardo DiCaprio. But she was an actress who was
playing an elderly version of Rose who was on the Titanic.

(01:51:13):
Kate Winslet wasn't on the Titanic, and Gloria Howe's Your
Father wasn't on the Titanic. No one in the movie
was on the Titanic, and even the ship wasn't the Titanic.
Was it done in a pond in Mexico? Wasn't it?

(01:51:35):
But fight me if you want to, Marcus, I remember
seeing Tauvelin did at the hut Park Raceway. Not laugh
if they won at Sarajevo. Couldn't think anything worse than
seeing them now, well, that's right. They wouldn't be the same.
He couldn't throw around like he once did. I'd rather
go and see the monster trucks. I spoke to the kids,

(01:51:56):
I said, do you want to go to see Forsyth
Bar to see the monster trucks? So it means to
be a lot of people from south and going up
that they had no interest. This was the hot Wheels
monster trucks. They do the loop, the loop, zero interest.
So it might go on my own. That's interesting how

(01:52:21):
people watch movies, isn't it. Well, bless them. But you
mentioned someone getting into a publiccassion. Oh you know, she's
should in the Titanic. Yeah, she's they got a bag.
She survived it. For goodness sake, that's such a good movie.
You wonder why they never did a sequel to The
Titanic I when all his other movies done sequels to

(01:52:49):
like Averati. Isn't he endless sequels anyway? He ever has reasons?
Oh boy, very strong wind and tode On are pouring rain,
windows shaking, big wind gusts. He's an interesting text. Someone

(01:53:10):
from my own heart. I always said there should be
two Titanic movies, and it's a lucky dip which one
you get at each session? Neither standard one and the
other one. They swerve and missed the iceburg, end up
in New York, and we follow Rose around your holiday.
Of course they should be that, be brilliant. They should
make a move about. The Titanic doesn't hurt you. We
wait the whole time. Where's the iceberg? Where's the iceberg?

(01:53:35):
It's a great idea that I'm there for it. He
might have been listening James Cameron Marcus. Do you remember
when you lived up with the Far North, when you
got run off the road. That was my girlfriend. I

(01:53:57):
tried to help you, but she was from a non
family up there, so I got shot down. Sorry about
that long time ago. I think I've ever been run
off the road in Northland. Tell me more, Graham Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 8 (01:54:12):
Greetings from south of Eden where the weather is come
quite no rain. We want to have rain this afternoon
end or tonight and we haven't. It's just overcast and
dead quite and no it's quite excited. So for red
dull and boring get here in South of Eden.

Speaker 1 (01:54:29):

Muddy Phips songs from the Chills, who perform those live

Library on May the tensest part of his other music months.
So that that's notice about that.

Speaker 1 (01:54:55):
How do you perform them?

Speaker 8 (01:54:58):
Well, I find the karaoke tracks and we're kinda singing
over the sing over the top is a bit going
to be a bit of mixing.

Speaker 14 (01:55:07):
The guy who's.

Speaker 8 (01:55:11):
Am seeing it I see every week at the bog
Bar on Thursday. So we're going to do a bit
of a dry practice at the bog Bar on the
eights for the final thing on the tent. So we're
looking to do Heavenly pop it. What's the other two?

(01:55:31):
Oh yes, definitely Pink Frost. I love my leather jacket
and pink Frost. So we're going to try and do
three as a tribute to Maddy. He is one of
my best mates.

Speaker 1 (01:55:43):
And it's this is this is, this is news even music.

Speaker 8 (01:55:48):
New Zealand. Yep, yep, I'm going to be going we
are all May and.

Speaker 1 (01:55:56):
The tricks the karaoke. Can they do the karaoke tricks
with that or you? Is it a service?

Speaker 8 (01:56:03):
Found two? I found I found two very correction. I've
also film Xio just about three days ago for I
loved Mine as a jacket. I used to know Mardy's
original drummer, which that there's a jacket is based. Yeah,
imagine I go back about May fifty odd years, those

(01:56:24):
days of high school, which was that it was logo
part correct and if you ever get to hear Kelly
hoe by the clean Mardy does a keyboard for that.

Speaker 1 (01:56:37):
Yeah, it was at school. Was he was here in
your year?

Speaker 13 (01:56:41):
No?

Speaker 12 (01:56:42):
Well he wasn't.

Speaker 8 (01:56:43):
Now I'm actually about a decade older than him. I
wasn't going to take you boys. But I met Maddy
and Roy Cobbot's music shop in Upper Stuart Street.

Speaker 3 (01:56:53):
Just were you?

Speaker 1 (01:56:55):
Were you Avenge yourself? Graham?

Speaker 8 (01:56:59):
Not not officially, I was saying as a guest vocalist
and some bands up north. But I came back to
Dunedin about oh about seven or eight years ago, and
I had after seeing the big Jane Parnell did a

(01:57:23):
big documentary on him and I knew about his at
the problems is lucky. He is on an experimental medication
that I say this life and gave another ten years.

Speaker 14 (01:57:37):
He will never have.

Speaker 1 (01:57:38):
Got where'd you come back from? Where'd you move to?
From Dunedin?

Speaker 8 (01:57:43):
I spent about seventy years in the valley.

Speaker 1 (01:57:47):
Okay, nice to hear from a Graham. Thank you for that?
Oh there we got an email here for you. I
caught the bus from East Coast Bezaris say in the
early eighties with my mother and all the other days
to see tailand did a huge wall shed in the
back of Monaco. From what I can remember, was free
Spectacler and there were loads. There were bus loads of
people tread carefully as we as were so slippery from

(01:58:09):
the ladline from all the wool that had been there.
That's right. We have spoke to the earlier that had
been their work there and if you want to talk
about this, that's what we're on about. Tauveland Dean. They
must have played Auckland once at the Woody roll Store
and once at the EPSOM showgrounds. They must have played
Wellington at Trentam at the racecourse I think it was,

(01:58:31):
and once at christ Church at Hagley Park. We're Exmas
in the parkers and people bust around the country. That
was no tomorrow because it's nothing quite as big as
Balero in nineteen eighty four. Of course Sarajevo when it
was What country was it? There's a question for you,
what country was it? Where were the Winter Olympics in

(01:58:52):
nineteen eighty four? Oh, that would be an interesting question.
Now I'll answer it for you in two ticks. M
Yugoslavia a country that no longer exists? How many Olympics

(01:59:20):
are in countries that no longer exist? Very interesting question,
but not as interesting as the person that actually was
on the Titanic that survived in the movie That Survived
the Titanic, what ad Harley ring back and say? But
he still thinks she was an actress, right, so Harley

(01:59:44):
knows that Rose Senior is fictional, but still thinks that
the actress had survived the Titanic. Why would they get
someone from that survived the Titanic to well, I could
see you could do that. I don't think she was
one hundred and one either. I only remember all that

(02:00:04):
stuff because at the time I was working on a
radio station and endlessly played the song Celine Dion Near
Far Wherever You Are. But the version we most often
played was one with excerpts from the movie in it,

(02:00:27):
and we played it endlessly. And on that song it says,
are you ready to go back to Titanic? I think
that's her saying that, or someone saying it to her,
and they hid them with Near Far wherever we are.
Good evening, jessets Marcus.

Speaker 26 (02:00:41):
Welcome, Hey are you Marcus?

Speaker 10 (02:00:43):
How are you good?

Speaker 6 (02:00:44):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (02:00:44):
Yourself all good?

Speaker 18 (02:00:45):
Thank you?

Speaker 19 (02:00:47):
Oh good to hear mate. And hello from Perth, Australia.

Speaker 1 (02:00:50):
Oh nice to have you hear from your Perth Australia.
Things good there, Oh not too bad.

Speaker 19 (02:00:54):
It's starting to get cold, but it's not really that
cold compared to.

Speaker 14 (02:00:57):
Probably envied, but for us it's cold like twenty six.

Speaker 19 (02:01:02):
Yeah, twenty seven, eight, twenty five, yeah, okay, Yeah, I
was making my I was cooking steak and I was
cooking dinner. I was listening to you and I heard
you talking about the Titanic and about that song. And
you're saying you worked on a radio station. That song
was everywhere.

Speaker 1 (02:01:20):
It was huge.

Speaker 19 (02:01:23):
Well do you even still enjoy it?

Speaker 1 (02:01:26):
I remember there there were talking bits innate as well.

Speaker 19 (02:01:29):
No, I heard you say that, but I can't remember
that version. I'm going to have to go and.

Speaker 21 (02:01:33):
Never look for.

Speaker 1 (02:01:35):
Yeah, it was very big, and I don't know if
it was just a radio station themselves had done it,
or isn't it. I don't think it was on I
don't think it was actually in the record that was released, right,
I think it was something.

Speaker 12 (02:01:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:01:50):
So yeah, as I think about that.

Speaker 19 (02:01:52):
You know, I I'll tell you something funny about that story.

Speaker 1 (02:01:58):
Is that movie?

Speaker 19 (02:01:59):
Is that when I grew up, we watched that on
the DVDs or the VCRs or whatever from home. But dad,
Dad would have would have the remote to fast forward
the naughty parts.

Speaker 1 (02:02:10):
There wasn't much was there was there some sort of
intimacy in the car is that right in the hold.

Speaker 19 (02:02:16):
I can remember, well, I didn't know I got fast forward,
but I.

Speaker 1 (02:02:18):
Think so you would have gone back because that. I
don't think it was a I don't think it was
an R rated movie, was it?

Speaker 12 (02:02:25):
No? I don't know.

Speaker 19 (02:02:26):
Look, you know in a Christian home that was probably
the part.

Speaker 1 (02:02:29):
Yep, yep, yep. I didn't that was a Christian home.
Now what are you doing in Perth.

Speaker 15 (02:02:35):
May?

Speaker 19 (02:02:36):
We've got the we've got the rugby league team coming here,
which is exciting. So we're we're all big league fan
here and we're very excited to have the Perth Beers coming.
So hopefully they can do all right.

Speaker 1 (02:02:46):
How does that work?

Speaker 19 (02:02:49):
Well, the government's poured in fifty million or something.

Speaker 1 (02:02:52):
But it's also the North Sydney Bears. Is it it's
a combined team or they've Does that not happen? Is it?
Do they have a Do they have a No?

Speaker 19 (02:03:00):
No, you're you're right. I think it's combined. I think
that I'll call it the Perth team. But it's basically
they're just stealing North Fears.

Speaker 1 (02:03:08):
I don't know why they've got to do that. I
don't know why they've got to use an established teams. So,
but but their home ground will be in Perth, right, yep.

Speaker 19 (02:03:17):
It'll be where the Western Force play at the NIB
which is good because the Opta Stadium is if it's terrible.
If you don't feel that and you go to a game,
it's horrible.

Speaker 1 (02:03:26):
Sure understand. So tell me something.

Speaker 3 (02:03:31):
Is the.

Speaker 1 (02:03:33):
A big local competition they will get the players from
all the players come from New Zealand, New South Wales
and Queensland.

Speaker 19 (02:03:41):
I reckon. I think the players will come from elsewhere.
There might be a few kids that will come. Maybe No,
but part of the I think part of the bid
is to put money into the grassroots. So maybe, yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:03:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:03:56):
Do you know if there's any Western Australians in the NRL.

Speaker 19 (02:04:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (02:04:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 19 (02:04:03):
It's all AFL here.

Speaker 1 (02:04:04):
It's quite There's two teams, the Freemantle.

Speaker 19 (02:04:12):
Dockers and the Perth ah Eagles.

Speaker 1 (02:04:17):
Okay, are they doing all right? Those two teams.

Speaker 26 (02:04:20):
Not?

Speaker 19 (02:04:21):
They're terrible. I think I think the bottom of the ladder.

Speaker 1 (02:04:23):
Okay, yeah, because I know even though the bottom of
the ladder, I know that the people in Perth that
are into a f L are absolutely obsessed with the day.
I mean, they have the same level of fandom there,
don't they. I mean they're absolutely.

Speaker 19 (02:04:38):
Even the team's doing poor like they're still you can't still,
you can't get tickets.

Speaker 1 (02:04:42):
It's weird, it's crazy. Have you've been.

Speaker 19 (02:04:46):
No, I haven't. I haven't. I haven't gone that far.

Speaker 1 (02:04:49):
I've started watching quite a bit of it. I quite
like it. I mean I don't love it. Taking me
a while to understand it, but yeah, I mean I
quite like the way the whole game's presented and stuff
like that. You know, I could get into it.

Speaker 19 (02:05:00):
Do you still watch rugby, Marcus or have you lost
love of rugby? Where are you at with rugby union?

Speaker 1 (02:05:08):
It's a good question. I keep saying. They're saying there's
good games this year. But look, what I don't like
is I don't like. I mean, you're not in New Zealand,
whether you've got Sky TV, But I don't like a
lot of the programs that are based around it, the
post analysis and stuff like that. It's all just a
bit wooden for me. When I think the NRL does
it so well that the programs around it are just

(02:05:29):
so entertaining, whereas rugby it's all It just always seems
a bit try hard to me. But yeah, look, I'll
probably watch the Semis in the final this time round.
It looks like there's a couple of Ossie teams and
there it is looking quite close, but the top four
is two key with teams to OSSI teams. I was
surprised to see us looking at the letter before. I
was surprised to see there's only eleven teams, isn't it.

Speaker 19 (02:05:49):
Yeah, and then you've got to and you've got well,
basically New Zealand's got six teams now with money the
specificate team.

Speaker 1 (02:05:56):
Yeah, okay, when are you coming back? Jes you state
you're alive of there, now are you?

Speaker 19 (02:06:02):
I want to come back. I would love to come back,
but the wife not coming back. The money's too good here,
so the wife's never coming home. So if I stick
with her, then I've got to stay here.

Speaker 1 (02:06:11):
Yees, So it's your job or your job, that's the
one you hooked on?

Speaker 19 (02:06:17):
Probably both?

Speaker 1 (02:06:18):
Okay, Yeah, good luck, nice to hear from you. Did
you take care? For more from Marcus Slash Nights. Listen
