Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Just breaking news out of Australia. Albanesi has slashed fuel
techs on petrol for a second time. So there you go.
That's happening. It's fairly proactive. Welcome. My name is Marcus.
Good evening. I hear. Look this is like loose like
a caboose, or loose like an old goose. It's the
Thursday that feels like Friday, so I don't know what's
going to happen tonight. You might be driving, no judgment.

(00:37):
You got the family all pecked into the commonal vacationer
and heading away. Good on you. Hope your journey with
us is an endurable one for the next four hours.
Get in touch, tell us where you're going, Where you're going?
Ah wait one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to
nine to the text. Nothing much for me tonight. It's
pretty loose. As I've said, it is the day before

(00:58):
the holiday. People won't be in any old mind to
bring up with anything earth shaedding tonight. I just wonder
how many of you have dinged your cane are at
the car park at the supermarket this evening because they
are flat out because there's no shops tomorrow. And I
don't know about you, but the thought of no shops
freaks me out. Yeah, because I won't go to a

(01:24):
night and day, that's for sure, but yeah, no shops. Boy,
whoa anyway, that's freaked me out. I mean it's tomorrow
and Monday. I could even work out of it Sunday
or Monday, which is the special day. But anyway, my
name is Marcus, got eating work. If you want to
join the Frey tonight. Anything goes loose like a caboose. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Here's something interesting. In Australia,

(01:48):
these have the third highest number of drive in movie theaters,
behind the United States and Canada. There were three hundred
and thirty drive in movie theaters. Now it's in single digits.
And if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

(02:08):
The first one Australia in nineteen fifty four before they
even had cars, and they grew like topsy.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I don't know where there are ones, but you might
want to talk about that might mean something happened in
your Australian trip. Yep, so there we go. Think there
were fifteen dollars family tickets. It's quite reasonable to go
to any news it happens the next four hours. I
will keep you up to dated with that. So there
will be other topics besides drive in movies. I think

(02:39):
news NAE might had some attempts, but it's always a
bit sketchy that it's not that well documented. But if
you want to partake oh eight hundred, you know the
rest one. MS Marcus, good evening, looking forward to your
and put tonight. If you are traveling, you might be
heading to wings over Warnica or anywhere like that. Let
us know what's happening for you and where you are going.

(02:59):
And yeah, this is an interesting time, isn't it? And
as I always say that, this weekend is a long
weekend for two reasons. One of those reasons it's long
is because there are two days off, the Friday and
the Monday. But it's also long because it's an hour

(03:20):
long because of daylight savings. Don't think that happens very often,
but I'm quite excited about it. It's a long, long
weekend that's happening. But if you want to start the
discussions night, feel free to come through, you know the
drill eight hundred and eighty ten eighty text call do
what you can. I'm in a good mood. I hope
you are too, and are looking forward to your partaking tonight.

(03:41):
Now there is a call to ban balloons, and that's
because they kill birds. And out of all the plastic
and stuff like that that goes into the sea, the
balloons are the most dangerous. Do you think that's true?
What do you think I made that up? Apparently that's true.
There's something about the balloon that will kill the bird,

(04:02):
like there's no tomorrow yep. And we've banned single use straws,
but we haven't banned balloons. Yeah, they don't decompose, and
they can pose a significant risk to wildlife in the environment.
Signersts found that balloons by sea boods are more likely
to kill them than any other kind of plastic. In fact,

(04:24):
it seems as though there's more and more common. Quite
often on Facebook, I see people saying things like balloon
arch free to good home. And these people have gone
and bought themselves a balloon arch and have found the
whole experience so transformative they now want to share the
love and passed on to someone else so they can
share the joy of a balloon arch. I don't get

(04:47):
balloon arches. I've never seen anything that I think, probably
I would think would be less endurable for those who
don't know what a balloon arch is. It's an arch
made of balloons, Tony. You'll start first out, first cap
off the rank.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Good evening, Hey, good evening. Let me switch to my
radio or somebody driving. So, yeah, well you had you
touched on quite a few subjects there.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
You got to these days with the shorter concentration span,
you've got to check three or four things out there.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
I know you're very interesting because most of the there'd
be a commentators of like monodrome conversation. But I liked
your style of breaking it up, and.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
That looks like a praise from a South Africa kind
of enjoying us.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Good stuff.

Speaker 6 (05:35):
Man.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, well, first of all, I quite find it quite
funny with the balloons and the plastic and stuff, because
they've you know, taken on, they're taken away the plastic
shopping bag. But everything in the supermarket comes in plastics,
So what the hell are we trying to prove?

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, that's exactly what are you saying.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
In what sense?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Tell me about the plastic bags again.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yeah, so we took away plastic shopping packets, but but
everything you buy in the supermarket comes in plastic anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
So what's the point where there's got.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
To be You've got to have hope. You've got to
have hope, Tony.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
I mean, second of all, we were so worried about
the so called timate change, but mister Trump is burning
all the oil fields, so what's the point as well?
I mean, the shit that's going into the atmosphere is unbelievable,
so if I yeah, anyway, let's not getting to that one.
But there were a couple of subjects you were talking
about earlier. Reminding me please, because I've lost my track

(06:39):
of thought.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, no, no, I think I think I think so
called climate change was enough for me. I think I
heard it all. But thank you for that, Tony. Get
in touch eight hundred and eighty to eighty in nineteen
nine two text if you want to join the fray
the balloons, Marcus, no balloons, no straw. Should we ban
children's parties altogether? Well, I'll tell you what I have

(07:03):
had children that has just come out of the children's
part age. And if you go to a children's party
sometimes you get given something called a goodie bag. Will
you've never seen so much instant landfall in your life? Goodness,
gracious me, that is all just plastic. Wow. So it

(07:23):
wouldn't be a bad thing to blend them, unless it's like,
go outdoors and build a hut or something. Marcus, how
many leaders of fuels? That rocket burning up? Why aren't
I excited about the moon? I thought about that a
lot today. I said to the kid, get the sky on,
we'll watch we'll watch them. We'll watch the rocket. But

(07:44):
we couldn't work the internet, so we did, so we
did watch it. We've changed sky provides. I don't know
what's going on with it. We seem to have no
internet so we couldn't watch the But I'm not that interested,
and I can't work out why. I mean, for a start,
should we be interested in something that we've done fifty
years ago? Probably not. But anyway, Marcus, I'm just looking

(08:10):
at the full and it's amazing to think humans will
be there again in a few days for the first
time in decades. Hi, Marcus, huge bright moon tonight, thinks Phil.
Do they have to wait till it was filled to
go back up there? Is that what they've got to do? Marcus.
Have you tried the garlic and power filled hot cross
bun from the Pie and their Pie shopping and Vocago? Yes?

(08:31):
I have. I don't think it was garlic and power.
I think it was just a power filled hot cross bun. Marcus.
The overnight show on Sunday is the worst case scenario.
Seven hours and no ads because it's Easter Sunday. No,
there are ads now. There didn't used to be ads,
but now there can be ads. Yeah, so there will

(08:53):
be commercials all over the weekend for those that missed
the commercials. You're driving Miss Daisy and your Stone and
water World and some of your favorite jingles. You will
hear them on Easter Sunday and Easter Friday because you
can now have jingles and ads on the religious days
because the law has been changed because I thought it

(09:16):
was unfair, because you can advertise on Facebook and YouTube
anytime in the year, so you should be able to
also advertise on the radio on the TV. Marcus, I'm
driving State HIWO fifty Hawks Bay Stunding Evening Moonlok's great
not look not fitting any urge to get closer to it.
I don't know how much fuel that the rocket would use.

(09:38):
I was going to say not much, but not much
once it got into the escape orbit eighteen past eight,
I feel free to come through eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty. Matt, I've heard you're an intergenerational talent on talkback.
What can you tell me happier?

Speaker 8 (09:55):
Happier family of the Marcus. I have a question of curiosity.
I live on a farm and I use our guests
a lot for cooking guest bottles. Will I be affected
to the prices of the rises of price of gasoline
and diesel? Or is a guest bottle of this use

(10:17):
for your barbecue for cooking? Or on the state and
there it is it a fossil fuel? Is the press
going to go up in another way of masking?

Speaker 3 (10:26):
So not only will your LPG go up right umber, Yeah,
they might run out.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
Oh that's gonna sounds too great, And.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Your petrel will be more expensive too, So yeah, she's
a triple where me for you LPG more expensive petrol,
more expensive LPG might run out, So yeah, I'd start
stockpiling but they're all and to answer the last question us,
they are all fossil fuels. To understanding. Nice to hear
from your twenty three past day get in touched Welcome
Hill twelve. What's it between balloons and Chinese lentens? Well,

(11:01):
I think the Chinese lentens decomposed better. Marcus. I thought
Pam's food from you Will was from New Zealand. Brought
a tin of Pems asparagus today had made in China
on the tin, false advertising Pems products from all over
the world. I don't know about that. Back catch your people.

(11:23):
If you're going somewhere interest, you've got something interesting to
say to us. Know what that is? Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty beautiful moon here in mong A Weka.
The stags are roaring and amazing sound happy easter? I
felt it's probably the raw wind? Is the raw? Is
it a bit later? Let just try to think about that.
I'm just to think about the easters that I've been
away hunting. I think there are ones that were later

(11:44):
on that was in Fiordland. I think it's what it is.
Sean Tellot's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 9 (11:54):
Say hey, how's it going tonight.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Good, Thank you, Sean. Tell how's it going with you?

Speaker 9 (11:58):
Yeah, pretty good, can't complain now, it's just like late
listening to what people like to deliver Easter. Well, we've
got an annual estery, can't there. My mum usually holds
for me and my siblings, you know, all grown oss
adults over here. And yeah, no, we had great funs.
But tonight we surprised it and turn the tables and
did once to her funniest things. There's something about seeing

(12:24):
your parents running around trying to find clues and hence
to find more eggs.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Was it just eggs planted or were there actually written
clues indicating where they were?

Speaker 10 (12:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (12:36):
So we did it for like different like kind of
childhood memories or silly things that have happened before.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Wow. Yeah, was she into it?

Speaker 9 (12:46):
Oh, absolutely too into it, full enthusiasm, screaming when she realized.

Speaker 11 (12:51):
What it was.

Speaker 9 (12:52):
You know what the answers.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Were, whether the tiny eggs or the marshmallow ones.

Speaker 9 (12:58):
You got to mix it up. You do a couple
of small ones, couple, Yeah, absolutely slightly different. We've got
cookies that one of the stations too.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
How many stations we did, about a dozen okay, but yeah,
Sean Tell, which day is supposed to give the eggs?

Speaker 9 (13:18):
I'm not too sure, but every Easter it's usually Friday morning.
We go up, we go our eastern count and then
we have a cook breakfast all together.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
But yeah, we've spent all day.

Speaker 12 (13:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:30):
I went gown to her house while she was at
work and had all the clothes and had all the eggs,
and then came back to surprise her for a cup
of tea. And yeah, me and my brother set there
giggling while she tried to figure I was going on.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Now, what part of the countries is, Sean Tell? So
I just imagine it Auckland. There's probably five weeks going
off tonight out there.

Speaker 13 (13:54):
None where she is.

Speaker 9 (13:55):
She kind of lives near all the farms and stuff
like that, so not so many out that way.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Brilliant, nice to talk, Sean Tell. Thanks so much. Someone
Stee three fun has sent me some shots of Warnica.
Looks amazing, just looks stunning with all the planes there
on the runway. So yeah, that looks like a great
thing to go do. That looks like it's going to
go off. Of course, not as many planes as there

(14:21):
could have been. Is it an amphibian? I see there's
an amphibian.

Speaker 14 (14:25):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
There is an amphibian? Now I don't want topically, but
we've been talking about those about for the last two
nights and now I can see what because my eyes
tuned in for it. What's the amphibian? Is it a catalina?
Couldn't be he who knows what's going to be there?
What the amphibian is on the air strip? I wouldn't
mind knowing about that. I'm just looking at the image now.

(14:50):
Maybe it is, Maybe it is. I'm just trying to
google it and see when they had one there. They
had a catalina in the past, but I don't think
there's one there. If anyone knows more about this, let
me know. Sh I haven't got good answers from chet
GPT WARB of Alwarnica. If anyone knows about what about

(15:12):
planes and me? I wouldn't my knowing where the because
it's got some great shots there from people. But be
in touched, keep your texts through. I mean this might
sound stupid, but I always thought the eggs represented. Now
I'm ever going to say that could I'll be judged
three million liters to get the plane up the rocket.
I'd forgot about the Easter show. Moon looking awesome in Auckland.

(15:35):
Just discovered it's only seven dollars to go to the
East Show at night, looking forward to the Dodge gyms
and putting the balls of the clown mouth. Happy Easter,
Marcus Emma. I imagine it's probably done its desk the
East to show, has it? When was the last time
I was some of that always loved the Easter Show.
This is an Auckland obviously the bigger it. It used to
be a very, very big deal, but I think that

(15:55):
in recent years it's kind of lost its luster. I
don't know what it would be like now. I'm looking
at the poster desperately as we speak. What are they saying?
It's got that's good? It looks pretty bog standard farmyard
friends or that's a couple of sheep. Don't get me
started on sheep. Yeah, okay, looks that they've got to Motorbucks.

(16:17):
Is it even still at the showgrounds? That moves somewhere else.
It's still at the showgrounds. There we go. That's still
a thing. But yeah, it looks like it hasn't got it.
It's not as peppy as it once was. It looks
cheap though, several bucks together and that's not bad. It
still can't work out what that plane is with the floats.
Any who also talking about driving theaters and if you

(16:38):
beat the driving movies in Australia, how was that and
when and where did you go? That's something I'd be
very interested and if you want to talk about that,
so be a part of that. If if that's something
you can talk about now, if there's other stuff, if
you've got questions or plans for Easter, Marcus, I think
there's clowns that used to show deserve compensation for the

(16:59):
ping pong balls that to swallow all those years. Thanks fill. Yeah,
they've never kind of gone out of fashion, those ones.
They've ever been when they've been. I've been to the
Blossom Festival in Alexander the last couple of years. They've
got the clowns. I'm not entirely sure what the tactic is.
Probably luck now someone's text me that oil prices ninety

(17:24):
one is three thirty five to three forty two and
Diesel's three fifty four, and pook a call hit alone,
go figure lots of privately owned Diesel vans are now
parked up. It's not the time to sell so tinder
sparagus PAMs made in China. Yeah, I guess China is
a big place for asparagus, wouldn't it be? If you

(17:44):
want to set the agenda with your calls to tonight,
that's a good idea. Didn't realize a full moon. I
didn't feel slightly elevated mood wise. For every good thing
twenty eight to nine. Get in touch if you are
driving doing something interesting, what is happening? So yes, that's
the planned people. If you want to talk Hittel twelve,

(18:04):
I'll keep your for news too. And it looks like
it is the end for the greyhounds, although they're going
to continue with horse racing. So sixteen hundred dogs to
be re homed. I see even two. I saw that
the dog race track at huang Nui is for sale,
quite a well known operation. I see too. They'd put

(18:26):
a straight course in as well, so that didn't have
the turns. But yeah, all that work for nout and
I don't know who would buy it. What else could
you race? It's the circular track that's for sale, not
the straight one. But who would that be of use to.
It's quite a nice restaurant and kind of a I
don't even know what it would be good for. It
might be a concert venue twenty seven away from nine

(18:50):
twenty four to nine. Shayenne, it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 15 (18:54):
Oh yes, good evening, Marcus. How are you good?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Thing is Shyanne?

Speaker 15 (18:58):
Yes? The one of air shows I never miss, Canterbury is.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Yeah, well yes, I do everyone know women Canterbres, wouldn't they?

Speaker 6 (19:08):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (19:09):
Yes, yes, well I'm only about two ks from the
Espirit airport yep, yeah yeah, And uh yesterday, yesterday morning,
we had three split fires fly over my house. Oh
my goodness, gracious mate. They looked absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Where would they be going? Where would they be going?

Speaker 15 (19:33):
The three sprits fires? Past ten hours? We're all ending
at the Espert airport to refuel the head off today.
Really yes, absolutely spectacular.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Holy split fires are in New Zealand.

Speaker 15 (19:51):
I don't know. I would never clone Marcus. But when
I was sitting outside yesterday morning, sitting aside basking the sun,
there was three split fires and they just flew out
my house very the line, okay, yeah. And also there
was ten habits that were doing. I'm looking outside, sitting

(20:13):
outside my front sat looking at the front door to
the east from each airport, and all I could say
was the harvards and the left loops get getting ready
for the trainee to go down to one A CAU.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Any other news, any other news from Munich the wood, Shan,
Any other news from Munich of the wood?

Speaker 16 (20:34):
No?

Speaker 15 (20:35):
No, sure, yes, yes, I'm actually sure.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
But look at no fires or anything.

Speaker 15 (20:41):
No, no fires, but no, it is all come dandy
down here at the moment.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
What's your plan for Easter?

Speaker 15 (20:48):
I'm just gonna stay hime and uh look after my
neighbor's house while they're away down while they're.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
White, they can't say, well, no, that would not be good.

Speaker 15 (21:01):
If I could tell them I'm where they're going. People,
they are going away for as I'm going to baby
see the house over the weekend on your.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Way, people might rob their house if they know they're way.
Is that what you're worried about?

Speaker 15 (21:11):
Well, exactly, exactly, Mark, So I mean saying, as you know,
if you want to, why you ask your homes to
look after your house if you're going away?

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Ah, exactly, Shan. Nice to talk twenty two to nine
brought PAM Guavas and peers yesday, product of South Africa.
That's right, that the guavas are always South African. Someone
wants to know if there's a list of every Pam's
product because they collect them. Love PAMs is a product,
huge fans of their price and range, very happy we
have them. Just wish they had a product aside, could

(21:40):
collect them or like trading cards. Someone wants to know
if the courier is delivered tomorrow they're expecting a package.
Did you see the video of the rat at Middlemore?
That is shocking. I mean that that makes the red
at the supermarket seem tolerable. I can't believe that if
that's the indication of what our health system has become. Now,

(22:02):
that sounds like a very talk back you thing to
sound on Thursday before a long weekend. But that is shocking,
and we're doing action quite quickly on that. Yeah, I
did see that horrible clean that's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 17 (22:15):
I'll get a Marcus.

Speaker 18 (22:16):
How are you?

Speaker 17 (22:19):
Marcus? Last time we spoke about Coudemundra, I was heading
away on a cruise and I ended up having to
be taken off the cruise in a wheelchair. I couldn't walk,
and anyway, they got me off the ship at Port

(22:41):
Vila and they took me for a scan at the
local hospital and they thought I may have had a
mini stroke and anyway, but then all the blood tests
and everything, they said, we can't find anything. The scans
were all clear. But there was quite an eventful trip.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Did they put your back on the ship?

Speaker 11 (23:07):
Now?

Speaker 17 (23:08):
The ship was only in port for the day, so
my partner and I stayed for a couple of days
at a lovely resort. They really looked after us. And
then I flew back to Sydney and I had more
tests than the scan, and the doctors said, oh, it's
a bit puzzling. We don't know what's going on. But
I'm one hundred percent now and we're actually going back

(23:31):
to Vanihatu in a couple of weeks time. The wheelchair
that they gave me was soon better days, so we're
going back. We're donating wheelchairs. Also, oh wow, things for
the children's ward because they were just so good to me.

(23:52):
But I was in good hands because the doctors at
the Vanaha to Portola Hospital, a secondered from Saint Vincent's
Hospital in Sydney for six months at a time, so
I knew I was in good hands.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
That's a great thing to do, have you you go?

Speaker 17 (24:12):
Oh no, sorry, you go there you go? Yeah, no,
So we're going back to say thank you. And I'm
just so.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Lucky because I couldn't walk.

Speaker 17 (24:20):
It was a bit scary, and by the end of
the day I was walking around the hospital and it
was like nothing had ever happened.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Are you taking them on the plane? The wheelchairs? How
are you getting them up there?

Speaker 17 (24:36):
Yeah? So I thought I'd go to Bunnings, So I
googled it and Bunnings sell everything and they sell wheelchairs.
So I'm going to take Yeah, going to take those
and I'm going to Spotlight. My sisters tell me, go
to Spotlight and we're going to get about six sets
of sheets and pillowcases and pillows and also whiteboards and

(25:01):
what have you for the kids in the children's ward.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Glenn, give us a call afterwards. This know how that goes,
because I'd like to hear about that. So if you've
got some information that no, that's good. I appreciate that.
I'm pleased you. Well, Kegan, hello's welcome.

Speaker 19 (25:19):
Good Hey, I'm just calling I who d you're wondering
if the curriers will be delivering tomorrow. Yes, yeah, I
used to work in the career industry up until last year,
and I've got friends of the career industry. They usually have
the public holidays off, but they will be delivering on
Saturday again night.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Okay, so Murray will get his part al most likely Saturday,
I would.

Speaker 19 (25:40):
Say so Saturday morning, probably brilliant.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Okay, Kegan, thank you for that. Mind you what happens
you wait four days for a career parsling, You just
sneak out and then you've got a note saying you're missing,
and then yeah, yeah, although I I've got a great
rest of the career. It is everything. It's always good,
doesn't it. You never get a card anymore, You just
get the parcel, don't you. Marcus My husband grow up. Adelaide.
They're a family of four children there to go to

(26:04):
the open their pictures of the Ford Falcon day should wagon.
The children are hitting another blankets for free and save
the mum and dad money. Love your show. Get in touch, hi, Pauline,
it's Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 6 (26:21):
Listen, the house has just had a real heck.

Speaker 20 (26:24):
Of a jolt?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Are you able to Pauline?

Speaker 6 (26:27):
Where are you mid Canterbury?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Fifty three seconds ago? It's four ten k's north of
methven eight forty five. This is it as how's it
going now? You're getting after shocks? Nope, that's a hell
of that's a hell of a jolt, very very shallow.
Just ten k's.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Yeah, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Where are you? Well, this is the service we provide.
It was just fifty three seconds ago. Where are you, Pauline,
meth Then that's where you are?

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Oh, oh you're the You're there, You're you're Eric on
the epcenter.

Speaker 9 (27:00):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
Hi, that's why the house jumped up?

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yes, are things off the shelves?

Speaker 6 (27:06):
No? No, nothing moved. And it was just a violent baker.
And I thought, whoo, okay, wait and see if anything
else happens, because I'm not getting out of bed with
my hot water bottle at the moment.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Now I've got the I've got the map.

Speaker 21 (27:20):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
It's been widely felt.

Speaker 22 (27:24):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
So it's been felt as down as far down as Timadoo,
as far north, as far west as like Collarridge, someone
and upper huts felt its just coming in the reports
now as we look at it live, but someone has
marked it as extreme. I'll put you down for that
as well.

Speaker 6 (27:40):
Ah oh, I think so. So can you tell me
exactly where it was?

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yes, I we'll hold your horse to stand by Coller.
This is a service I provide, thank you, and require
me doing a bit five k's north of methven.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Just across the Kaya river.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
But I'll look at Methvin now on the map, okay,
and I can measure five k's for you. You yep,
so two k's one. I'm putting it not as far
as the Mount hard Air Strip, but up that road.
I don't think it's as far as the Rakaia River,
is it. I think it's probably on your side of
the river.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
Yeah, there's been nothing else, but boy was it a beauty?
Thank you so much. You're so reassuring.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
I should have asked you. Are you okay?

Speaker 15 (28:32):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Tough stock down there? There we go. Well, not often
you get that. It's bright, tight and real as that.
That's yeah. Well, I wasn't you a pleasant I wasn't
gonna say victim, but an earthquake person. Not a victim,
but a receiver of a quake, A Joltee. Of course
it's all happening with a man with the stroke, potential
stroke and now Paulin in the quake. Anyone else felt

(28:58):
it to four? So I'm just looking at the felt
it report. I've got the TODAYO version. We just get
out of that Geonette Earthquakes view or quakes three minutes ago.
It's been downgraded to a three point eight and it's
now ten k's north of meth and you see they

(29:19):
get more better triangulation, so it probably is north of
the river.

Speaker 23 (29:22):
Now.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
She's probably right, and people have felt it widely, but
a lot of people say they feel things, they don't
feel them. They're just doing it for attention, like someone's
felt it and Wana, someone's felt it in Auckland and
marked it as extreme. But we know that that's rubbish.
There's probably we can see the numbers, can't we, Dan,

(29:45):
So two and sixty three people have felt it, including
our mate and Auckland, who is the human size size
mommeor he feels all of them. Maybe it's a she
ten to nine. Get in touch, you want to talk
Marcus till midnight tonight eight away from nine Jefferts Marcus, Welcome, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
But to night on the radio was about one Sir
Peter's closing down the greyhound racing. We've got fifteen hundred dogs,
people that I heard on the radio today trying to
find homes for them. Maybe some of them can go
to Australia because greyhound racing is a big time in Australia.

(30:28):
I don't think One's Peter's put enough thought into it,
I really don't. I think he was just big noting himself.
He's supposed to be the Minister of Racing and what's
he going to do is they're going to shut down
horse racing next, which will never happen. So I just

(30:48):
think he's just made a title idiot out of himself.
And where we're whereabouts are these people going to find
fifteen hundred dogs?

Speaker 3 (30:58):
I think the Americans there's a huge demand for greyhounds
as pitts in the United States of America. Whether they've
got the money to send them on across there, I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, that's okay. Who's going to pay for these dogs?

Speaker 3 (31:11):
I think there is a fund they've got for a
humane fund for them.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, But what the hell does when some peters know
about greyhound racing. He doesn't know everything about everything he
might think he does. I think it was just a
big note himself, And as far as I'm concerned, it's
a total disgrace. And I used to admire. But I'll

(31:37):
tell you what over this matter, mate, Jeff, I'll tell
you what a witness face.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Jeff, Jeff, I think it's probably good to go into
the religious long weekend less angry.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
No, it doesn't matter, No, but you've got to count
anything different than I do tonight. I think when I
heard about this greyhound racing because I know a guy
who's got a couple and he said to me, what's that?
Do you think he's doing him? Yeah, greyhound racing has
been a fix sporting news on just like like not racehorses.

(32:12):
I've not been involved with my boss.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
And it hasn't been a sport for that long.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
It hasn't been a sport for that long? Yeah, it
has since win the seventies.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
What doesn't matter. That's long enough?

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Well, is it okay?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
They said pick up the fifteen hundred dogs and un
dubbed them on one on his lawn, which had happened?

Speaker 3 (32:35):
That wouldn't be practical, would it.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Yeah, it would be the sham that you just can't
do whatever he likes all the time. I think it's
a title disgrace.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
You got your past, you got your easter exhorted, sorted, Sorry,
you got your easter exhorted.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I've got my easter exhorted. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've even postally,
I've even posted some money off on an a card
to my granddaughter in Australia.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Can you see? Can you see was it just was
it just a gift card?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (33:09):
In a card.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Generally gets there are okay. It takes a couple of weeks,
maybe two and a half weeks. That's post for you.
It's a long way for a letter to go to Australia.
But I'm all sorted for that. But this never going
to change my mind about this Greyhound racing. And I'll

(33:32):
tell you what, as far as I'm concerned, Wilson Peters,
the way I think about him went from ten down
to about three. I'm sorry, I cannot agree what he says.

Speaker 3 (33:46):

Thank you?

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Darryl.

Speaker 16 (35:30):
Yeah, look, god, I just want to talk about, you know,
all this petrol process diesel prices and that it's so
easy and just go and see Darryl at Darryl's LPG
Exchange dot Com. And no, you can just swap your
car over to LPG so easy, and it's just you know,

(35:51):
you get so much more mild to the gallon. And yeah,
it's just pretty super stuff there a Marcus. You know,
so come on down to Darryl's at LPG Exchange dot com.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
And got to we're going to run an LPG soon.

Speaker 16 (36:08):
No, no, no, no, Now we've got heaps of it
stored up here, mate, Yeah, plenty of it here up
at Darryl's. It's what was that? Tell me it's better value?

Speaker 3 (36:24):
We're about where about are you, Darryl?

Speaker 16 (36:27):
We are up in Taranaki at the moment. Now we're
actually a more fun that Marcus.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, I think people are partying early, aren't they? Sound cut?
Getting touched. Hit'll twelve ten past nine, eight hundred and eighty.
Keep those texts through if you can, be good to
hear from you. As I say eighty eighty Marcus was
a teenage or are the boys used to siphon people
from their mates car? They put a rubber tube into
the tag in suck petrol. That's right, we all know that.

(36:56):
Now they don't do that. Now they put a hole
in the bottom that stuffs your car as well, because
the next load you putting all ends up on the
fore court. I think it's quicker and because the fuel
tanks are locked. As for Jeff, I'm still recovering. Be

(37:16):
in touch, man of us. Marcus, welcome ten as anything goes.
It's Friday, you might be heating Dwarnica. Be nice to
hear from you. You might be on the drive with
the kids. I think the school holidays start today two
for two weeks, so i'd all on. We're also talking
about drive in movies in Australia and New Zealand. There
used to be as Australia is to have the third

(37:37):
highest number of drive in movies than anywhere else in
the world after America and Canada, but now there's only
like five. Also talking about banning balloons because they seem
to kill sea turtles. They say they are the worst

(37:57):
form of plastic or the most dangerous form of plastic.
But I don't necessarily know that even balloons are plastic.
I presume they probably are now, although I couldn't find
confirmation of that. So that's a situation full moon two.
By the way, goodness, Now someone says there is a

(38:20):
breath testing at Anderson's Bay. Oh yeah, thank you. Didn't
have a feeling about saying that. Ah cure Marcus. I
lost my mother, Marie Fruan today after brief illness. She
was eighty four, and I swear she was your biggest fan.

(38:42):
I would get almost daily updates from her about your
far no and the funny things you said. Thank you
so much for being a part of her life for
so long, and for being such an entertaining host. She
listened every night and you brought her comfort and joy,
and for that I will be forever grateful. Namihi Vicky Freuan.
That's a lovely email. Thank you for that. Actually, while

(39:04):
I have got a chance to talk about things like that,
a dear friend of mine whose name was raywnd love
It who would always listen to the show. But she
was a dear friend of all of ours and Bluff also,
and she died in the week. She died on Saturday,

(39:27):
and we had the wake for her on Monday. And
I spoke about her last week that she was in
a home, but she was someone that was heah, I
always know she was out there listening. And ever I
mentioned someone should always say if I went want to
see her, she'd always mention, Oh I get rid of
that person. Oh, don't talk about ghost stories. Oh talk

(39:47):
about ghosts. She always had an opinion and she was
always extremely positive. So yeah, she had died after a
short illness also, so that was yeah, and there was
the wake on Monday. So it's been a it's been
a yes, sad weekend Bluff for all of that. And
of course Keith, her husband brought her around her round,

(40:10):
you know, because of the eshes around today, because that's
the way it goes. So that was interesting as well.
So yeah, that's that's been a bit of my week.
But anyway, but that's a really nice email to thank
you for that, Vicky. I appreciate that. So I don't
know what much more to say about that she did.

(40:34):
Raywan would ring from time to time, sometimes about the
oysters and yeah, about different things. So probably one rang
once or twice a year, and I think she probably
rang the other shows too, But yes, she was had
an opinion on everything. So anyway, if you want to
talk on air, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eight.

(40:56):
If you want to text, it's nine to nine to
fourteen past nine. Plans for Easter and anything else you
do want to talk about tonight. It's been a very
very big week, but get in touch, funny enough. On
Wednesday we talked. On Tuesday, we talked about planes. On
Wednesday we talked about outboard motors almost thoughts. Tonight we

(41:16):
might talk about trains because we seem to be going
through transport, although I haven't got much love for the
talking about trains tonight. But if you do want to
talk on here, if there's other stuff, I'd love to
hear from you, Oh, eight hundred and eighty te ket.
There's emails coming through a walk upyondad with the news
around the world, although I don't think they're much local news.
I think all the Junos will be on holiday. Oh,

(41:38):
I see the I see the Southern Scoop has picked
up on the parlor in the Easter bunn story. Good
on them? Oh seven sharp did it? Oh yep, they're
on to it. Good on them anyway, Get in touch
with you want to talk. Sixteen past nine, Peter, it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 13 (41:58):
You can eat me, Marcus Hippy. Easter to you and
Peter Heppy.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
I've forgotten to say that to people. Happy Easter.

Speaker 13 (42:04):
Yes, I thought it'd be the first.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Petty. Can I just say too? Out of all my holidays,
I think Easter is my favorite. It's not too long,
and it's not too hot, and it's not winter. I
like it.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
So yeah, it's not too bad.

Speaker 13 (42:20):
I've got a Philly FeliCa. Hey listen, Marcus, your call
A read about eight eight thirty eight thirty five of
us who got a packet of pems asparagrass. It is
made in China. I put it back on the shelf,
went round into the wat Is aisle and grabbed you.

Speaker 22 (42:40):
You one made in New Zealo For how long?

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Though?

Speaker 25 (42:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (42:45):
This is it? This is it?

Speaker 19 (42:48):
So?

Speaker 13 (42:48):
But no, yeah, you spot on the ice the city.

Speaker 26 (42:52):
Hope it stays and you on the cam products, but
you never know.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
What's how I'll interested with you guys. How do you
cook tendersparagus? I mean, what do you do with How
do you eat them?

Speaker 23 (43:03):
For me?

Speaker 14 (43:03):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (43:04):
I just I just crush it up of them, the sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Oh good idea?

Speaker 13 (43:08):
Yeah, yeah, no too right? No, no, too right?

Speaker 3 (43:11):
What a great experience? That is too right. You're good
on you, Peter. I appreciate that too, right. Twenty past
nine lines? Free back at you? There we go, someone
says Vira text. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but how
come it's taken over fifty years to travel back to
the Moon and this time the flight is longer, Plus
we're not even landing. I don't know what the conspiracy theory.

(43:34):
I don't know if this I don't know if this
plays until we ever went there in the first time?
Is people hand? What do people think about Artemis two mission?
On one hand, it's incredible, pushing human exploration further than
we've been in decades. On the other, the sheer scale
and cost of it's will pretty hard to wrap your
head around. Is it inspiring progress or an expensive flex?

(43:57):
Very good question? An expensive flex? I haven't quite worked
out the point of it, but I haven't really studied it.
I think it's to get ready to do something a
bit more ser Yes, I don't know why it's called artemis.
Have youone looked that up? Yeah? It serves as a
critical safety where he's devalid out the Orion spacecraft system

(44:18):
before landing humans on the Luna's surface. In twenty twenty eight,
we will go back to the moon. Good evening, Roy,
This is Marcus.

Speaker 21 (44:25):
Welcome here you go, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Good right, thank you.

Speaker 21 (44:28):
It's the story Harison. The other night you're talking about
out wood motives and what not. Seagull. Yes, yeah, hey,
you mentioned Kim Yucam. Somebody mentioned him.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
You know, and I meant to google him up because
they said he was up there with Burt Runroe and
the guy that did the motor the motorbike from christ
Church the yeah called.

Speaker 21 (44:53):
Yeah, yeah, I know who you mean. The Kim Newcomb story,
it's it's been a couple of docos on him, and
I think he wrote a book. His partner at the time,
but he was a motor bike rider and he went
to Izzy and got on the motocross scene there, and

(45:14):
then he went over to Europe. And started, how can
I do well in the old motor gp, you know,
And he went to a company that made outboard motors
for hydroplanes called Koenig, and he adapted it and put

(45:34):
it on a motorcycle frame that he built, and yeah,
tremendous story. And he got through and of course it
was a two stroke, and all the other riders riding
four stroke, and he just blits them like hundreds of
meters ahead of them. And you're talking Augustini and you know,
all the top guys. But unfortunately he died. He had

(46:01):
a bad accident and the courses went up to you know,
the speed that he was writing.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Did you Roy, did you know about him during his life?

Speaker 14 (46:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (46:15):
So what you know, how I got interested in and
just all the local guys, you know, I had a
two stroke him, and so did my mates and that,
and we're all talking and some were saying, Na, you'll
never beat Agustine. He made these guys the way, you know,
But in reality, he just kept winning and winning and winning,

(46:36):
and he was one race away from winning the world
championship when he had his accident and died. It was
a tragic thing to happen.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Now, look having just talked to you about him. Britain
of course was the guy with there. I am aware
that that. A good friend of mine, Yeah, made a
documentary about him, because I believe his wife, if I've
got this through right, I think she filmed out of
the races, so a lot of footage of his races,

(47:08):
and he put a documentary together. And he's a good
documentary maker. So I've never seen it, but there was
a film made about called Love, Speed and Lost. Did
you see that?

Speaker 27 (47:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (47:18):
Yeah, and that was brilliant.

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Yeah, justin pevotive of extremely good documentary makers. So yeah,
I imagine he would have he would have he would
have served him well, I would think.

Speaker 21 (47:31):
Yeah, I was staying corrected. But I think a book also.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Yes, Tim Tim Hannah did a book called It might
have had the same name. Actually, let me just look
at that. Yeah, I can't see that now, the book,
and I think Tim Hannah was the same guy that
did the book on Bert Monroe. Actually right right, the
key we on the Koenig I think was what the
book was called.

Speaker 21 (47:55):
Yeah, brilliant name. Yes, Knig were a well established as
far as the engines went. All they did was build
outward motor engines and people would fit them to hydroplanes
and they had it, you know, but the two stroke
was just getting getting recognition as well. Fucking broncos you know,

(48:20):
to Rite are just incredible. When they hit that powerband,
it was just insane power.

Speaker 3 (48:27):
On the success of having to ConA continue then in motorbikes.

Speaker 21 (48:32):
No, no, so that was the owner of Cone Guy.
I think that was the surname of the guy that
owned the company. And he said, mate, there's a motor
if you want to put it on a bike, good
on you all up to you. I think they they
may have carried on with the motorbike answered. I can't

(48:55):
answer that. I don't know enough information about it, but
that'd be worth researching here.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
And that's a good Christmas Well, that's a good east
to watch. Because it's two thousand and five, it's probably
now available. You can probably watch that on YouTube. That documentary,
what I me, it's probably available to see.

Speaker 21 (49:09):
Yeah, And it was all done with these little movie
cameras with a rage at the time, you know, late sixties,
early seventies, and yeah, she went around the pits and
of course her son was in the movies. He was
only a little followed about four years old, and as
he grew up he wanted to find out about what

(49:33):
his father had done and everything. And he went back
to knig and it was a real tear jerky, you know,
as you sat there and watched them relive what his
father had done. Yeah, so that was interesting stuff. But
there's something else I was going to talk to you about.

(49:54):
The guy that rang up over the price of LPG.
I'll tell you now. I'm in Hamilton and it's going
up of what he sent us a letter, one hundred
and sixty five dollars for a forty five kg cylinder LPG. Wow,
up twenty bucks. And electricity's gone up twenty bucks this

(50:16):
thing this the first of April. Both of those on
the first of April today, And yeah, that's gonna be
another struggle for young guys. Fortunately, I've got solar panels
on the roof, put them on about five years ago,
and we're switching over as much as we can to electric.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
Is it LPG that people use when they've got guess
home heating? Is that what they be using.

Speaker 21 (50:43):
Yeah, it's mainly used for heating and hot water. Some
people we had it also for cooking, but then we thought, no,
we'll just get one of those little ceramic plates and
what do you, heir fry, I think, and of course
they both run on electricity and turn the gas off
and it's there if we need it. We don't need it.

(51:03):
It's chupid to go from you know, you're using. We
haven't got batteries yet for the for the solo, but
that will be the next step.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
Yeah, okay, Roy, Look, thanks for ringing up about that too,
and thanks for bringing that in. It was the topic
last night because I enjoyed that, so I appreciate that texts.
Artemis is the twin of Apollo the rocket. The Artemist's
crew is writing in the Orion spacecraft. Orion was the
lover of Artemis. Did you know Prince William is prepared
to take of the throne. He is having sessions to
prepare for becoming king. King Charles receiving treatment still for

(51:36):
his cancer and it isn't doing all his royal duties.
He's close to dying. Oh, he's close to passing it
to William. Charles being king has been short lived. People
have lost a lot of respect for Charles Andrew and
I know that. To prediction on what that is Marcus
I wrote the music for Love, Speed and Lost. Yes,
it was a great doco, quite a sad story. Cheers Jason,

(51:56):
Thank you for that, Jason. So that's probably one worth watching,
Love Speed and Loss. Now, if you want to talk
on it night on the Thursday free for all that
it feels like Friday, get in touch with me here
till twelve tonight, eight hundred and eighty t eight. If
there's anything else you want to talk about tonight, feel
free feel free to email me. Also some amazing shots

(52:19):
from Warnica of the of the aerodrome there or the
air strip, some amazing shots. That's always be a beautiful
week with one of those classics still Easter weekends, so
that's happening. If you want to watch that documentary of
Kim you Kim, you can watch the entirety of Love,

(52:42):
Speed and Loss on n Z on screen dot com.
That's in Z the letters O, N, S, C R,
E E N dot com. Be a good Christmas Easter one.
How I'm going to keep calling Easter Christmas for the
same kind of thing. Wasn't it anyway? Good thing to

(53:04):
watch during Easter? Chuck Norris's family have warned that there
are fans. There are several AI generated videos circulating on
like dating, false emilies, misleading information about the late star,
so you've got to watch that. I think what also
happens is that people post videos AI can generate. AI

(53:25):
can generate videos. It happened with that woman from Married
at First Sight, one of the psychologists. AI can put
together videos that look like that. They are a recording
that the person has made before they die, to be
released post their death, saying Hi, I'm no longer with you,

(53:52):
but these are some things I'd like to say. And
it's just clickbait and it's not true, but you wouldn't
know because it's incredibly upsetting. So just but I don't
know if that's the one with Chuck Norris. Haven't really
followed the story, but to worry twenty seven to ten
head on Midnight Man of as Marcus Good Evening. I'm
curious to know how your fairy bookings have worked out

(54:17):
too for the long weekend. I know there are delays
for the inter Islander. The Introndo website is showing that
there are delays of up to three hours and forty
five minutes for fairies departing over the past two days.
Of course, Blue Bridge Connie Mora that's been sidelined for
eleven days with a technical I don't think we know

(54:39):
what the technical fold is. So if your service has
been affected, let us know about that. Also. That's something
else we can discuss tonight. If you've got exciting plans
for us or anything you do want to talk about
tonight and the full moon, I'll tell you something they've
got a question about that's neither here nor there. It's
not an earth shattering question. If you are making hamburgers,

(55:00):
it's just something that the kids wanted and you want
to steam the funds. Would you just use a vegetable
steamer like one of those things that slots on a saucepan.
Is that all you do? Was it something slightly more
complicated than that? Just text me about that one if
you've got an answer to that. That's my only question
I've got tonight, apart from the sheep and the high

(55:21):
Country muster, which once again today was not successful. But
they are getting more used to the sheep nuts and
they will be. They will be lured down. I did
post some shots on the Marco Slash Night's Facebook page,
but there were some people that took it too serio,
or that's not a high country. Clearly it's not the
high country. The high country muster was tongue in cheek.

(55:44):
But yeah, you can't always tell everyone. You can't always
explain irony. Anyway, do get in touch if you want
to be a part of the show. People, if there
is something different you want to talk about tonight, Questions
about easter, What are you going to do tomorrow with
nothing open? Oh, there will be League tonight two at
ten o'clock. That will be the Dolphins from Brisbane playing

(56:07):
the Manly Sea Eagles who are now being coached by
Karen Forn. Has he got his dad's management? Chops? I
suppose that's the assumption. Here's gonna be good at business.
I think the team's four and zero. That means or
zero and four. I guess you got to say it
the right way. So people, let's be hearing from you

(56:28):
twenty two away from ten. It feels very much like
a Friday night, doesn't on this Thursday with a long
long weekend. Long because it's long and long because an
hour longer because of daylight saving, not an hour more light,
but actually an hour longer, an hour more dark. That's
what I've worked out. So that's a situation. It looks
like Iran is bombing Israel as we speak. Yep. Artemis

(56:55):
seems to be going okay. The price of oil is up,
the price of shares is down, and there has been
a earthquake and Methvin. I'll give you the latest on
that because they reappraise them and there's been quite right.

(57:16):
It's now down to three point seven nine k's deep
and ten k's north of methven, and it's been felt
by three hundred and ninety seven people that have reported it.
One hundred and sixty marked it as light, two hundred
twelve is week fourteen as moderate, eleven is extreme. Why
would you mark an earthquake as extreme when it wasn't

(57:39):
to cry for help, isn't it? Don't let people, they say,
Norm Norman texts ten disparagus and a chief source Norm
norm doesn't sound that good. Someone says, you don't steam
burger buns. You grill and cut the sides. No, I
want them to steam. That's what the recipe asks for.
So yeah, don't tell me what I want. Well, I've

(58:01):
just said that Jeeps twenty ten used to it'd be
eighteen to ten people. All the lines are free if
you want to come through to look forward to your input.
If you have something you want to say tonight, something
you're happy about said about, want to engage with that's
the planned people. He had talked much in the last
couple of days about the oil crisis, which has been refreshing.

(58:24):
But you might have a hot reckon on that. Overseas
press is reporting oil prices rise further as Trump vows
to hit Iran extremely hard, but sees the wall in
shortly as he rips into the Allies for lacking courage
on straight of hor Mooz. It's not mission accomplished, its

(58:45):
mission nearly accomplished. Also keen to talk about drive in
movie theaters in Australia, if they are things you've been to,
they're down to five. There used to be three hundred
and thirty three. There's a lot more than I thought
there would be, the third most in the world after
America and Canada. I guess they had the climate for it,

(59:06):
which makes you wonder, have me they've got in Africa?
Seventeen to ten Tracy, this is Marcus good evening.

Speaker 18 (59:15):
They're markers. Let's steam your hamburger buns for you. So
I quite like mine stained. So you can use a
bamboo basket. But if you haven't got a bamboo basket,
you can use your rock, your pot, your throwing pans,
one or two inches of water in the bottom and
then you put your colander or whatever you're going to

(59:35):
use on the top, put a.

Speaker 26 (59:39):
Lid on it.

Speaker 18 (59:40):
Five to ten minutes to their woman, to their woman fluffy.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
So if you've got one of those steamers that goes
on top of the saucepan, that will be exactly how
it works.

Speaker 18 (59:52):
Yeah, perfect, And you know those you can also get
those other things. They have two or three layers.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
And I quite like, yeah, I've never really thought about
the steam. So once you steam your burger bun, right,
do you then do you then toast it? Or that's all?
The only way you cook it is the steaming.

Speaker 18 (01:00:13):
Yeah, I just do the steam.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Like a fire o fish like there one that steam
bun and the mcdonald' day, I'll give that. I won't
be going to go tomorrow because the shops will be
closed now. It's just the kids were home from school
watching that YouTube guy, that chef guy, and he was
with the American guy who's the world's expert on burgers
and just showing how to replicate the Originally, I we'll

(01:00:38):
make that in the weekend. I just said, I'm not
quite sure how to steam the buns, but you know
how sometimes you so the kids we'll make that, and
they respond in such a way that they're going to
remember and they're going to be at the end of
the bed first thing on Saturday saying we've got to
do that. So that will be the thing. I'll report
back on that. It'll be that. Then the High Country
Muster will give that another go. Oh, there's good text

(01:01:00):
about that.

Speaker 14 (01:01:00):
I'm glad.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
I asked that I use a standard visual steamer, place
buns and steam with water boarding ball for two minutes.
It makes the bun fluffy. O. That makes a great Yeah.
What do you do with your toast? Gosh for a
changing world, look at us steaming our buns like we
do with our dumplings. Anyway, get in touched here till twelve.
I'd like some of the calls. If you are an

(01:01:22):
interesting places tonight. You might be on a boat, you
might be at the crib. I'm just looking for my
shoe polish and my box of trucks. But need your
calls if you want to come through people of New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
So let's be.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Found quite anything tonight. Always that every color shoe polish,
get the color you're looking for, whatever puncture a peirkut
that's got in my box of godies. It's crazy, not not.
There might be polishing with shoes tonight. Anyway, you shouldn't
have taken them on the farm. That was the wrong

(01:02:04):
thing to do. Pecking my stuff backup. I'll be in
touch if you want to be a part of it.
Here we go all done, really watched the league that's
sorted out. Get in touch. Eight hundred and ten eighty.
You might be heading to one, OK. You might be
on the drive. People. You're a bit thin on your

(01:02:27):
discussions tonight, but that's fine. I guess e ifyone's out
there shopping. I'll be careful at the shopping car parks
if you're doing a lot, because it seemed like there
was bad reversing and I wouldn't be surprised if people
don't have I mean, that's always going to be ground
zero for a caaracter, and it's going to be the supermarket,
isn't it shopping. As I get older, I find it
hard to get No, I can't say that I find

(01:02:48):
the parking's not as good. It's not as perpendicular to
the lines. I'm quite into a quick park and they'll
come out from the shop thing cheap as creeps. That
was a little bit of a curve. So there you're
going going to try better with my parking. It's twelve
away from ten o'clock. People be in touch if you
want to be If there's something else you want to
talk about, mention ass good. I'd like to hear from

(01:03:10):
you about this too. Some of the other things I
can tell you this day. Stanley Kubrick's two thousand and one,
A Space Odyssey, had its world premiere nineteen sixty eight.
It was in Washington, DC. I don't think I have
ever been as bored. Maybe I was nine, maybe I

(01:03:30):
was twelve, But I just thought, jeepest, creepers, how long
can this go on for? And I have a recognition
that actually it went on and on and on, and
then I thought, gosh, that has gone on for longer
than I ever felt possibly it could go on. Then
I think it stopped and it was just intermission. It

(01:03:51):
went on for so long, and I was so bored,
restless child all that that. I'm sure it is a
fantastic movie, but I'm still too traumatized by how long
it was to go back and watch it again. I
always remember that. Remember the Mad Comics always used to
do movie parodies, and there one was called two hundred

(01:04:15):
and one Minutes of Space Idiocy, and I pretty much
think that was right. But yes, I think as an
adult I probably would have loved it, but too traumatized
to go back and watch it. It might be what
I do on the weekend might put the kids through it.
After we've steamed the buns now here till twelve one
of us. Marcus, Good evening. I hope you're good. If
you're not good, I hope things are okay. And if

(01:04:35):
you don't to talk on air, that's the plan. It's
ten away from ten o'clock. Yes, you got the Heavyheads
coming on tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, And in the meantime, welcome
Rugby League tonight. I've promised you that we'll give you
updates for that between now and midnight. Romance. You think
it'll be gym on at twelve, but it's Romance. It's

(01:04:57):
still a Thursday. It feels like a Friday. But do
isn't it a Thursday? You might want to talk about
making burgers. Also, we haven't talked about that. We always
said we be obsessed about burgers, making burgers. It might
be something you can chuck in the mix of things
you could talk about tonight, or anything else that's got
your fancy. There is talk on Reddit about putting a

(01:05:17):
roof on Sky Stadium in Wellington. Yeah, well there'd be
good money after bear, because not many people tune up
for that stadium these days. Anyway, it looks like a very
expensive roof to put on there. I mean, that wouldn't
be the answer. What you'd be better off doing is
I don't know what the answer that one is. I
thought that Takahara and Christ Church is going to open

(01:05:39):
this weekend, but it's not. It's Antac Day that's opening.
That's why they changed the liquor laws for that, so
people go out on the streets and drink and be
merry with an empty stomach. We don't have great faith
in that, with it being christ Church and all. But oh, well, Tony,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Hi, Tony.

Speaker 5 (01:06:01):
I just wanted to give a good luck and I
hope it go as well for our kiaren Fort tonight didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Yeah, me too, me too, me too, always honest guy,
always impressed with him.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
Yeah, no, good boy to say.

Speaker 5 (01:06:17):
You hope it goes well. And that's all I wanted
to say.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
And yeah, Tony can ask you? Are you Are you
open to me asking you a couple of quick.

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
Questions quickly the games about the start?

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
Can you just go from being a player to being
a coach? Well, well, who's done? I guess the questions
of your league follower, who's done that? Who's come straight?
Because the only retired last year? Didn't he? So who's gone?

Speaker 19 (01:06:42):
And cleary?

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Yeah, good point. Okay, go and watch it, Tony. I
won't hold you. Yeah, that's good on for ringing and
then say that because that's right. Because I think kieren
kieran for and for those that don't know him as
a player. And I don't know all of it, but
I think he had his demons and walked away from
the game for a while. That's my understanding of it.
I don't even want to know too much about the

(01:07:04):
players and even digged in too deeply to it, but
I I think there were some there was some stuff
in his career that, Yeah, I think he might have
walked away from the match if Look, I apologize I
got that one wrong. That's kind of my understanding. But
always spoken very well at the games. Yeah, they're problems

(01:07:24):
with gambling. You think he had a gambling binge. Anyway,
they've chucked him in there and hopefully that all goes well.

Speaker 19 (01:07:30):
Frohm.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
Manly's owned by New York people now and they'd four
losses or three losses out, the coach goes in comes
a new coach. So yep, I had a shoulder injury
that was career ending, stripped of his captaincy for unprofessional
conduct by the Eels. I didn't turn up to rehab
and drank alcohol while being injured and declared that it

(01:07:54):
was personally issues there. Possibly he had never played rugby
league again. This was in twenty sixteen, but came back
and had many good years there. So that's the situation.
So he'll be the coach of Manly now. And I
don't know if that was always going to be in
the plan, but yep, that's what's happening. So yeah, maybe

(01:08:15):
his first game tonight anyway, do you get in touched.
You ought to be on here tonight quickly before the
news or after the news as I say, oh eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two nine to
the text to be nice to hear from you. If
there's something else you want to talk about or mention,
that's all good. He was at Manly from two thousand
and nine to twenty fifteen. He was back there from

(01:08:35):
twenty twenty one twenty twenty two, so he has played
for that club also and was for the Warriors, played
for the Warriors as well. So yeah, there you go.
That's thatt for you and text if you want to.
I'm just going to work out. We're going to do
it for the next hour. If you've got any suggestions
for that. Steam buns sound yum? Do you make your

(01:08:55):
own bread or from the shops I've got We've got
I've got plenty of options there. We've got a bread maker,
we've got a sour dough starter as we all have,
so it'd be quite easy to make our own buns.
So we might try, but of both, we might make
them and we might also buy them. But I'll repair
I'll keep you posted on that. Please help a black

(01:09:16):
rooster appear out of nowhere on our rural property. Our
neighbor says it's been dumped, none of us on our
country right of hen so is it worth keeping it
around as a pet?

Speaker 19 (01:09:24):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
I don't think people like roosters. I think they wake
you up early. That'd be my advice there, But we
might get some suggestions about that depending on how we
go after the news. So there you go. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty Marcus till midnight tonight, looking
forward to the late flurry. Let me know how busy
it's been out in the big smoke people house town.
Is it busy or is it quiet? Does it feel

(01:09:46):
like because us in in Vericago at six o'clock it
was pumping.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
I don't know why, but yeah, it seemed to be
very very busy. Good evening. Welcome to East to Eve.
She's all going tomorrow, but not at countdown that's closed
or Woolworth's as we call it.

Speaker 12 (01:10:04):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
We're talking burgers making your own. Have you done that?
How would you do that? And maybe someone who worked
at with Donald's can tell us how they steam the
buns for the f o fish love the filet sure,
it's quite straightforward. I've never really thought about it. Scott.
It's Marcus. Good evening, Good morning, morning, Scott.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
Hi, who am I talking to?

Speaker 7 (01:10:27):
Who?

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
Do you want to talk to?

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
Anybody at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
It's Marcus. It's not morning, it's evening, and it's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
I'm a lonely old man, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
If you're just working up, Scott, no, we'll give me
a break. Well, you see, good morning. Someone's thinking, oh,
hang on, a wake up. Then I'll call the radio thing.
It's morning when it's still evening. But anyway, it's dark.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
I get confused.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
I mean, tell me geographically where you are, Scott. Of
course you are. Yeah, we're talking to you. I remember
that we're talking burgers. We were talking burgers, Yes, yep, God, okay,
that's class.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
We've got a rather good butcher down at the I
don't know if you know Barringtonrington. Yeah you do, Okay, Okay,
So he's quite good. He gives you a good cut.
And I've always found that the are the best petties
to make you make him yourself. So I chuck a

(01:11:33):
bit of garlic, a bit of onion, a bit of
cinnamon or whatever, and it sometimes a bit of hot sauce.
So I make the petty petties and I go to
a place called Brumbies. Now that's a bakery.

Speaker 3 (01:11:52):
Yeah, I'm familiar with Brumbies. I'm familiar with their imaging.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Yes, oh good?

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
Oh really yeah, yeah, I know we don't have them
in a cargo. I am familiar with the Brumbies.

Speaker 4 (01:12:03):
Okay, yeah, well they make dan damn good stuff, so
I buy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
I think it's an Australian company. Anyway. You buy an
eight peck of rumbyes.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
Well that makes sense, doesn't it.

Speaker 19 (01:12:16):
The horses, yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
Canbur br you can eight pack of buns.

Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
Yep, check them in the freezer. I kept I keep
a fewe you know, for fresh for you know, lunch.
God I got into seeing that, so kicks in your
now and then come yeah, and so what I do
is I sliced one of them open, put the petty

(01:12:42):
in the pan, get a bit of letuce and tomato,
and every now and then maybe your desh, I'm feeling
a bit spicy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Hang on you, it just glitched out a dash of
what hot sauce. Yep, you're onto.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
It and you can't buy anything better than that, mate,
you can't. They just the meat, So.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
Do you smash? You know how a lot of a
lot of people are smashing the buns that the petty
quite smashing them right down so they cook and caramelize more.
Are you doing that? Are you're just leaving them as
the butcher designed them in the pen?

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Oh no, no, I mean I paid for that, butN
so I'm gonna eat it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
No, I'm talking about with the petty. Sometimes they smash
the petties down.

Speaker 4 (01:13:22):
They read No, no, no, you don't want to take
too much fat out of them, okay, because you know,
fats for flavor. So no, I mean, what's the point something?

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
You just you? Are you just lettuce and tomato?

Speaker 4 (01:13:40):
Well no, well red onion. Yeah, you can't go past that.
I mean that's the delicacy nowadays, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
You See? I like it. If I'm going to cook
a burger, it's probably just going to be the petty cheese,
a bit of source, a bit of mustards, and maybe
a bit of pickle. It's going to be quite a
simple one.

Speaker 4 (01:14:01):
No, klopen your peppers.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
No, No, I wonder it quite I wonder it quite traditional.
But I'll report back and you just toast your buttons
in the in the toaster, do you or you cook
them in the pan.

Speaker 4 (01:14:11):
No, I don't cook them at all.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Okay, just out of the freezer and thaw them out.
You're good to go.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
Yeah, well win that fresh because you know when they
were at their best, so you must eat them.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Been on, you're Scott. Nice to hear from that. We're
talking burgers. Yeah you might and you might have been
someone that's worked in a pie card or you might
be a burgerist. Please remind people know buses and Aneedin
tomorrow on Sunday. That's terrible. What's becoming of that city.
Last time I was in n public holiday, the Bus

(01:14:42):
Enthusiast Society ran double digger buses. It was terrible. The
old railing to the top deck was all falling apart.
It didn't feel road worthy. Burger suggestions, that's the plan.
I actually forgot want them? What were the topics for
the rest of the show. I can't remember what they were.
We're going about something, won't we a lot of I
feel a lot of people want to talk about the

(01:15:03):
moon mission but don't know what to say. Oh, but
at all about the Dog's dog racing greyhounds, earthquakes, pam Goods.
Someone wants to know if there's a list of all
the pem goods because they're trying to collect the set.
Even it's Marcus welcome, Oh you scrave me evening even.

Speaker 22 (01:15:19):
I've got a little suggestion for the the Master. Maybe
a roll of danger tape spread between yous and you
can be a moving fence. Be a good idea, wouldn't
It'll I'll be scared in when I see that danger tape, mate,
I have.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
To get it translated to sheep.

Speaker 22 (01:15:36):
Yeah. I just had on a well at nine o'clock news,
twenty million dollars to clean the fuel tanks at long Row.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
I think someone's got a good contract there and they
got to do it quite quickly, don't they.

Speaker 22 (01:15:49):
Wow, wonder start.

Speaker 3 (01:15:53):
Mind you fumes and enclosed spaces. It's a volatile mix,
isn't it.

Speaker 21 (01:15:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:15:58):
What's on these tanks?

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
Well, old fuel.

Speaker 22 (01:16:01):
I presume it's a little bit of black sludge.

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 22 (01:16:06):
Oh, I was up there at what was it eighteen?
I did a bit of scrapping for a guy for
a little while and we're up there. If we can
cut them apart, beautiful condition tanks most larger than them.
Hasn't it like brand new? Unbelievable?

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
Yeah, I wonder if they've given that contract up a
bit quick in the haste.

Speaker 22 (01:16:26):
Well, if somebody wanted to buy it and cast it
to the other side of the world, obviously worth some
money in it. Yeah, I couldn't see why we couldn't
spend some money on fixing it and upgrading it. Just
crazy stuff anyway, Good luck with the high Muster.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Thank you. Fifteen past ten. No screw in the rugby league.
Mainly the Dolphins end to end. Marcus Bergers need a
good Beatriot, slice from a can and cucumber. No, I'm
a purist and a lot of things, Corey, it's Marcus.
Welcome you, Marcus.

Speaker 26 (01:17:00):
I'm just hearing about the cost of cleaning those tanks out.
I just concerned about when we do contracts in New
Zealand with anything. I think the wall gets pulled over
the government's eye a bit and the Reedy's kind of
just try and pull one out of them and charge
shitloads for something can be done really cheap and cost effective.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
Well, you see the government and a buying because they
want to look like they're proactive and the job needs
to get done in a hurry. So I think probably
it's a very rushed contracting process. And how many groups
would be equipped in New Zealand to do what that
job is?

Speaker 26 (01:17:38):
Would there be any You just need to hire the
gear and get someone's prepared to get in there and
get dirty. You know, we had a job just recently
over here that we had to do some stuff off
some trusses.

Speaker 19 (01:17:50):
And it was done.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
Are you overseas, Cory, No, No.

Speaker 26 (01:17:56):
I'm in New Zealand. But I've been in the trades.
I've been in two lots of trades, and I know
my staff. Yeah, but obviously I've seen a lot of
academics kind of drawing it out and a lot of
expense from overseas that I full of bullshit. And I
think Kiwi the number eight mentality things being pushed away,

(01:18:19):
pushed aside, and tax pay is up coppying it, don't we.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
Well, you've got to be worried about occupational safety in
the past, you know, down coal mines and you know
we killed a lot of people and on forestry sites,
so it's probably good to be trying and keep the
workers safe.

Speaker 26 (01:18:35):
Yeah, that's true. But when you've got you've got twenty
people clipboards and one person doing work. You going to
ask some questions, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
Have you seen that?

Speaker 26 (01:18:43):
Oh shit, yeah, all the time. I go through others
pass all the time, drive up the road and see
all the balls that going on over there. One little
repair job. You remember, you go back twenty years ago,
we had a guy with a yute. He had a
bit of hot tower on the back and he would
do that ten twenty kilometers of the road and fill
up every podole. Now you got one poddle with about
twenty people, and you know, and now there's twenty people,

(01:19:06):
well it might be only one or two doing the
actual work.

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
I imagine people are nodding along.

Speaker 26 (01:19:13):
Yeah, I just think we're working at that. Just the
bureaucracies is killing our progress. That's why kiwis aren't productive anymore,
because we're too many people with well academics, may I say,
the university degrees that only actually have any practical experience.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
Maybe we haven't got enough academics, Cory.

Speaker 26 (01:19:33):
I think we've got too many. Honestly, you know, I've
seen it all. I'm an old man now. But on
disillusion that we can't we're in a war situation. You know,
that's the way I said. We're in a war and
we've got to think differently. We've got to bring that
number eight mentality, number eight wire mentality back.

Speaker 4 (01:19:55):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
I wonder if the number eight mentality in some ways
might have been a bit of a myth.

Speaker 26 (01:20:02):
No, No, it made New Zealand great.

Speaker 19 (01:20:05):
When was his in anything to make news?

Speaker 26 (01:20:07):
Well, back in the early nineteen hundreds, we had lots
of money. We're a very wealthy country.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
To like nineteen ten.

Speaker 26 (01:20:16):
Well, even in the fifties and sixties we were still
pretty practical, weren't we And then it gradually went downhill
from there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
Yeah, okay, but there's any convincing you. But thank you, Hi, Marc.
I live in to Need. My friend and I were
going to catch a bus rid. I can't believe there's
now public transfer on Friday or Sunday. It's not good enough.
They'll hear from me. The tanks have to also be resealed,
which is a major cost. I was happy talking burgers.

(01:20:50):
I like cole saw and a berger instead of lettuce
with a meat patty, cheese and size of beet troup.
I thought you'd talk about how to steam Bartons. We
were we're talk about how to make burgers. But we're
a fast moving show. And sometimes on talkback on a
Thursday that feels like a Friday. You got to go
with the flow out your cloth, according to what you got.
And for talkback people two words Marsden Point. That is catnip.

(01:21:14):
There's people out there on they here Marsden, but here
we go about fuel. There are Marsden Point. That's something
I know about because I've been on the internet mainly.
Have scored twice ten zip up kick to come Lehigh
Hopwatti and that's at the Dolphins ground. Who wants to

(01:21:35):
know what Brent Crewd's at. I'd like to get that
on a watch one O nine shaky I scored again.
Hello Dev, this is Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:21:46):
Welcome, Oh Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 20 (01:21:49):

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
Has yourself all good good?

Speaker 27 (01:21:53):
Just got homes from the local and home.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
What's the local?

Speaker 27 (01:21:58):
It's called the Brick Works, then Martin's and christ Church
Tourist Road. And I heard you're.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
Talking about that's a pub like a guestrop, is it?

Speaker 17 (01:22:12):
Yes?

Speaker 27 (01:22:13):
But I would recommend it just for the drink. Finally, well,
it's sort of touch and go and wise though.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
It does say we could times make great food.

Speaker 27 (01:22:25):
So yeah, well ye, and then when you're talking about
your patties tonight, and I think if you only have
a booger petty, I think you're BESI to make it yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
And yes, we will.

Speaker 27 (01:22:40):
Exactly. And my recipe is very simple, great bit of
garlic into your mint and some cheese and that's it.
And then that the cheese will give it a little
bit of moisture and so forth. And then there's this
I don't know if you're familiar with christ Shoot, but
they've got this Mediterranean supermarket type. It's not what I

(01:23:05):
wouldn't call it a supermarke, but they've also got and
you can buy the there's a weave restaurant and so
they've got a vinagarette there and just put that on
everything that is beautiful.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
Well, look at you with your vinigarette.

Speaker 27 (01:23:22):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
Sorry, look at you with your vinigarette. I'm just trying
to think where that is. The Mediterranean food shop.

Speaker 27 (01:23:27):
Children Street in christ Church, t.

four dollars.

Speaker 15 (01:23:44):

but anymore a chewy chop, brilliant.

Speaker 27 (01:24:36):
Oh you've got to have a chop, Marcus love a chop.
And can I tell you something with a chop. You
might not agree with this, but all your chop for
a bit your chops, and the bottle only caught of water,
like just to cover your chop. Then slice up your
cabbage into like quarters and then put your potatoes on

(01:25:01):
top and boil it for probably ane and a half
on Loe.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
Divine what you're planning for tomorrow?

Speaker 23 (01:25:08):

it's oh what.

Speaker 18 (01:25:30):
Do they call it?

Speaker 27 (01:25:31):
A It's like a fluffy pillow thing that you just
sleep in a couple of little eggs. And I'm not
into buying, you know, treat food or anything like that.
But they get spoiled every other day, don't they.

Speaker 3 (01:25:45):
Is it a pillow?

Speaker 27 (01:25:48):
No, it's a pillow. Pillow and it's a that's what
it's called a teddy fleece from am I have to
say where it's from Briscos on special.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
Team bas I've got them and it's a pillow.

Speaker 27 (01:26:08):
Yeah, they're normally thirty down to I said I got
nine ten dollars a week while ago, but that actually

You have to buy a meal.

Speaker 27 (01:26:33):
They won't, No, she said tonight when we went in there,

They let the staff at the time off. But she said, no,
we're open tomorrow, and I.

Speaker 3 (01:26:50):

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
Marcus making burgers?

Speaker 27 (01:27:02):
Are you going to grate some garlic into it?

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
Cutting gorse? Rounding out sheep, picking up, picking up a
kid from a sleepover. M I have a lot to do.
I think I might even sweet the chimney, getting ready
of getting it ready for the winter. I'll be fat
out the course.

Speaker 27 (01:27:19):
How are you going to get rid of that?

Speaker 17 (01:27:21):
Though?

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
A lifetime? I can't go under that den to traumatize.
It's a lifetime's work. What about that rat at Middlemore
Hospital too? We haven't mentioned that much, but gee, that's bad.
By the way mainly have scored three times. You got
a bad plase of the yips, old the dolphins, the dolphs.
If you're on hold hold your horse. I'll get to
you when I can. Burgers. My husband taught me. I

(01:27:44):
love old debs, calls it like it is. I'm like
Cory the instant expert. Even my husband taught me a
trick for burger buns. Pop them in the other of
a bit. Do they're warm through? And the when you
take them out, cover them with a clean tea tail.
It makes them nice and soft. What if they think
about make the tea towl nice and soft? Of the
buns nice and soft? Might be the tee tails? Is

(01:28:04):
it four teen zip? This is a shellacking? Thinny dice
an onion and added Maggie Burger mixed sachet of five
hundred grams of mint Ronda balls, especially with a patty.
That's right, someone said. The trouble with this country is
too many corries feel we are talking about burgers, and
particularly if you're making your own, how are you cooking

(01:28:26):
the buns? What are you doing? Nice to get a
break from fuel? Oh, there was an email and if
I read the email, yes, with the tea towels, Pete,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 12 (01:28:44):
Just regarding those those tanks up and up and Mars
and Points, if they've got to clean them out, I
used to. I used to do a health and safety
and that's settling down around Tara Neck with it further
methanole leaving one of the tanks down the port so
moosically what you do that was easy. You basically got
a decontaminate and you've got to open them up and

(01:29:05):
all that sort of things so that environmentally friendly so
humans can enter them. But the ones up in Mars
and Point, it depends on what was in them. It
was oil, will probably take more to clean them because
you have to decontaminate them more, but it was just petrol.
They'll be easier to clean because they'll just have to
again basic the process the same. You just got to

(01:29:27):
decontaminate them. They will do full inspections on them for
welding inspections and make sure that they cracked and all that.
But yeah, so some will be easy to get back
to and disturbance. Some will take longer, but it's not definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
Now Pete, what's the word for something that breaks down oil.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
Use it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:49):
But what's the actual expression for it.

Speaker 10 (01:29:52):
It's like a.

Speaker 12 (01:29:55):
Technical word for it. Basically, solvents out there. You basically
all the taints, they all got outlets in them, and
you have all these suction trucks. Now all depends on
the of the tanks how they have or they might
have a pumping station to clean them out. All tanks
are going to be different, different technology. You can't clean

(01:30:17):
them out, but it can be expensive. You know, you
are you solvent twenty million?

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
It's costing twenty million.

Speaker 12 (01:30:23):
Pain, Yeah, it won't be cheap.

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
It's twenty million.

Speaker 12 (01:30:27):
Yeah, definitely won't be How.

Speaker 3 (01:30:30):
Do you purge the guess out of it?

Speaker 6 (01:30:32):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (01:30:32):
You flush them all out of water and everything. You
open all the vents and all the tanks they've all
got man holes in them. They usually have vents on
top and you just you just put air through them.
It's it's it's a bit of a process, but it's
easy enough. It's not not that high technical. Just basically
no different from basically the thing of a car, a
petrol tank in a car, but a bigger version, a

(01:30:54):
lot bigger version. Same thing. You just vent it air
and out flush it and basically your venturing. It'll be
so humans can enter them and do inspections and clean
them so it can done.

Speaker 3 (01:31:06):
But they won't be to I'm looking at Marsden Point
on Google Maps. There's a lot of tanks up there.

Speaker 12 (01:31:12):
Oh there's a hell of all out there too.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
But which ones would they be?

Speaker 12 (01:31:17):
I had no idea Arson Point up years ago.

Speaker 26 (01:31:19):
I used to work that.

Speaker 12 (01:31:21):
They did a little bit of uh was working for
a company, you know. I did a little bit of
insulation work up there with they did the crediting and
the legging off of some of the pipes in it
when they just built They were building it then. That's
back in eighty six eighty seven. They're quite a big
of a project. They were just getting it up the
speed again and the modern few plant going in there.
But at that time when the big think projects were

(01:31:43):
going and it was quite interesting work. But yeah, but
the definitely won't be a cheap process giving those tanks
back from the service.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
Okay, you have yourself, I got east anything planned?

Speaker 12 (01:31:53):
Yeah, not really unders taking it easy earlier, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
Take an easy gut for a bike. Jan Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 28 (01:31:59):
Oh, Kelly, is the code where you were.

Speaker 3 (01:32:04):
Mad quite hot tropical today.

Speaker 28 (01:32:08):
Oh, I was freezing here. I've got all the heaters on,
freezing cold.

Speaker 27 (01:32:16):
Now.

Speaker 28 (01:32:16):
I went up to the Wanganui Hospital this afternoon and
to be with her friend.

Speaker 21 (01:32:24):
She was having a.

Speaker 28 (01:32:25):
Procedure done just in the day clinic. And what a performance. Honestly,
did you go? And yes, the man at the counter,
the receptionist. I asked where to go to find my

(01:32:45):
friend and I was told she'd be in the oncology
ward and he sent me off up to a whole
different part of the hospital in the taxi and couldn't
find it, and with his directions were all wrong. I asked,
of all little people, nobody knew where it was. And turns

(01:33:11):
out there is no.

Speaker 12 (01:33:12):
Oncology that she died.

Speaker 28 (01:33:16):
Yeah, well no, So I went back to that desk,
got him to put it on the computer her name,
and it came up dayward. So I had had it
a wheelchair and the orderly to push me all the
way down this mile on corridor right miles away. I

(01:33:41):
don't know how people can walk all that way and
then up and a lift up and down more corridors
and round and up and down, and the poor orderly
pushing me all this way and going into the day
care unit. Such lovely staff, so friendly, very helpful, and

(01:34:04):
waiting and waiting and waiting with her, and I haven't
seen her for ten years, and it was such an
emotional reunion and anywhere. I sat with her for hours
and hours, and then I realized I'd have to get
home in a taxi and ordered an orderly to come

(01:34:30):
and get me. No one came, so I decided I
would try and walk back to the front door. Oh
my goodness, gracious, I was going down this corridor, down
that one down. The lift was heading me completely in
the wrong direction. Finally found someone to turned me around

(01:34:53):
and go a different way. I was wandering around all
these corridors and thought I'd never get there, and me
partially sided, almost NOSEDI and crippled, and certainly what an ordeal.

Speaker 3 (01:35:09):
So you got home now? A couple of questions from
me to you, Okay, are you not? Is you're walking?
Not great?

Speaker 28 (01:35:16):
No, I'm disabled?

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Wells I.

Speaker 28 (01:35:20):
Got damaged in a big accident with a truck.

Speaker 12 (01:35:24):
He on, goodness, how long I have got?

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
How long ago was that?

Speaker 28 (01:35:29):
Oh we know it's about eighteen or something. Oh, you child, yeah,
but I worked as a nurse. Everything was great, and
it's just as I'm getting old and everything was falling
to bit.

Speaker 3 (01:35:42):
Okay, Now another question, if you don't mind me asking,
You hadn't seen your friend for ten years. Why hadn't
you seen her for ten years?

Speaker 16 (01:35:50):
Oh?

Speaker 28 (01:35:50):
They shifted and I didn't have the new dress or
phone number, and we just lost touch.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
And then you finished. And then did she get out
of the blue? Did you call you?

Speaker 14 (01:36:01):
No?

Speaker 28 (01:36:02):
Out of the blue? I had a feeling.

Speaker 3 (01:36:04):
Something was up, I wondered.

Speaker 28 (01:36:06):
I made all sorts of calls to her family and
hunted and hunted, and eventually found them in Martin and
so we reconnected. And Marcus, I have to tell you
that one can u hospital, but someone like me is

(01:36:27):
absolutely full of spirits.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
Would be.

Speaker 28 (01:36:32):
In the corridor lying around. And as I was sitting there,
she went off to the loof and I looked up
and there with this little narrow window above where her
bed was, and the sunlight, just being of light came
bursting in through the window, and I knew God was

(01:36:54):
there looking after everyone. Yeah, quite moving day.

Speaker 3 (01:36:59):
It was a very good news bad news story. You
get to the hospital, that's good. You can't find the wall.
That's bad. You find an order that's good. You get
to your mate, that's not good. You try and walk back,
you get lost, that was bad. The lay of light
that's good. They're interesting. They're like a roller coaster.

Speaker 28 (01:37:16):
Yeah, really strange. And I was wondering, how come there's
so many sick people?

Speaker 26 (01:37:23):
Hop to you?

Speaker 3 (01:37:25):
Why would be so many sick people in the hospital
that what you're saying anywhere.

Speaker 28 (01:37:29):
In the country? Why is this country full.

Speaker 12 (01:37:32):
Of sick people?

Speaker 28 (01:37:34):
So many? It's chocolate block, But I tell you that
one the new hospital. There's messes of stuff buzzing about
all over the show, working very hard.

Speaker 7 (01:37:48):
So yeah, would you go to church?

Speaker 3 (01:37:50):
Do you go to church on Easter? Gen?

Speaker 28 (01:37:53):
No, God's right here with me. I don't have to
go anywhere. I can't sing anymore, you know, because the
dentist stuff is needled into my lingual nerve.

Speaker 3 (01:38:04):
That's right.

Speaker 28 (01:38:04):
I can hardly talk, and I counting you talked about.

Speaker 3 (01:38:09):
You've talked about tonight to someone that can't talk.

Speaker 28 (01:38:13):
Yeah, talk a lot, but it's very bad speech.

Speaker 3 (01:38:17):
Unfortunately, sounds pretty clear here, Jane. You've got Easter to
love you, to talk to you. Thank you with Janet

bit of a laugh, doesn't she you? Anyway, there we

(01:40:00):
and two. Manly's winless fifteen to eleven. Looking forward to
it and put tonight. Good evening, Darren, it's Marcus. Welcome God, Darren.
How's yourself?

Speaker 11 (01:40:14):
Yeah, excellent, excellent. I just sort of bringing a hand
a chat on the way home. I hate you talking
to the lady who had been the visit of the hospital,
and I was just coming back from Auckland Hospital after visiting.
My daughter's had a pretty rough day.

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
Oh tell me about that. Is she okay?

Speaker 11 (01:40:33):
No, she's really really good. Yeah, she's just interesting how
these things happened. She had a sore throat on Monday
and ended up today. My wife and her have gone
from the doctors to Minimore Hospital, to Manica Supercenter and
now she's spending the night at Auckland Auckland Hospital. But

(01:40:58):
I know she's she's eighteen, so's a little bit older.
But and she's all she's good. I'm just coming from
there now, she's I'll just have her overnight, make sure
everything's good, and yeah, she should be back home tomorrow.
It's interesting how these things can develop quite quickly.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
Is it? Is it meningitis or something?

Speaker 11 (01:41:17):
Now, she had an infection in her in her throat
that they had to sword out, and then the antibodocks
that initially had been semen given hadn't been kicking and
didn't do the job. So yeah, they had to do
a bit of small small operation or small small procedure
and then keep wanting to keep her in overnight with
an ivy drip. And yeah, but she's very perky, all good,
so healthy, yeah, very yeah, now she's all all good.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):
Nice to hear, Darren, Thanks for getting in touch. Twelve
to eleven head on midnight, turn away from eleven. Welcome people.
I hope it's going good for you.

Speaker 23 (01:42:02):
Anyway.

Speaker 18 (01:42:04):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:42:05):
Wow, I'll tell you what I think. My two least
favorite talkback tomics would be compulsory third party insurance and
anything led to Marsden Point. It's never good. It sucks
the life out of me.

Speaker 10 (01:42:16):
Marsden.

Speaker 3 (01:42:20):
Marsden point, what about Marsden point? Now, what's an good
Easter talkback topic for the final hour? I do know
what it is. I think people have always been unclear
about the the trouble Easter from my point of view. Now,

(01:42:44):
I'm not even going to go because it sounds like
I'm delivery saying vague things. I'm not going to ask
you about my problems with Easter. I'll just keep that
to myself. Now it is ten from eleven Roman, Roman
is long at twelve, and I'll be taking you right
through till midnight. If you want to partake, that's the plan.

(01:43:07):
If you don't, doesn't worry me in the slightest. The
war's nearing completion. I feel he's been saying that for
a month. I don't know what to make about that.
This as Trump said, a big couple of weeks, hasn't
he anyway? Do get in touching on talk Marcus till
twelve oh eight. Let me take this last break. So

(01:43:29):
I said, how come jan can help the police find
missing people but can't find the front door of the hospital.
It's an extremely good question, Samus Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:43:38):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
Sam?

Speaker 14 (01:43:43):
A couple of things. I just want to have a
chat to you around Easter.

Speaker 22 (01:43:45):
If that's great?

Speaker 3 (01:43:46):
Are you churcy?

Speaker 14 (01:43:47):
Well, that's where I'm getting at. I've got it as
a child. I was brought up, brought up Catholic, and
heaven necessarily strayed too far away from the church. But
I guess the couple of things around that is with
alcohol rules around Good Friday. I always sounded a little
bit amusing. I guess you'd say, with what Jesus's first

(01:44:11):
miracle was, yes, turning water into white, so which I
always sound quite interesting. I guess the real key question
for your Marcus, I wanted to work out as hot
cross buns. Should they be all year round?

Speaker 3 (01:44:24):
Or you see more? You see where I am as
I am, Which days the buns, which days the eggs?

Speaker 14 (01:44:30):
Well, the other thing is why are we getting eggs
from a rabbit?

Speaker 3 (01:44:33):
Can you answer me that? O the buns Sunday, other
buns Sunday, the eggs Monday.

Speaker 14 (01:44:39):
I've got the eggs on Sunday, and I've actually got
the buns picking off Saturday morning.

Speaker 3 (01:44:46):
I don't think I don't think anyone knows well that yet.

Speaker 14 (01:44:50):
You did right there. But I also think that the
hot Cross bun has real potential to be a all
year around kind of favorite. And I think this year
what we've sort of seeing, as you know, people are
adding parmesan bacon, really kind of put in their on
twist on things. How do you how do you have
your hot Cross fun.

Speaker 3 (01:45:10):
With power creamed power? Yeah, I went to the local
bakery last week. I had one with creamed power. Put
that on Facebook. That's now gone viral. People are actually
I think A seven sharp was doing a story on
that tonight. It wasn't bad, but the the hot Cross
bun had a had a like a baking powder taste

(01:45:32):
after taste in the mouth, and the guy said he
think it was a bad batch of flowers. I thought
that was a shame. But yeah, I reckon the wackier
the better with your buns, your Hot Cross buns.

Speaker 14 (01:45:42):
See what I'm doing with some is I get my
hot Cross buns, I put them in a food processor
and kind of blend them all up. And that's that's
the base for my my caramel slice that I that
I make. And we kind of have on on Eastern Yeah, yeah, no,
it's it's it's quite a treat. But I got exposed
to hot Cross fun and I think what I believe

(01:46:04):
the key is getting the two slam of butter cold.
Put them in there, a little bit of bacon, a
little bit of parmesan, and there there you have your
Do you have your bun?

Speaker 3 (01:46:16):
But the other the other thing, Just so you know,
I'm into. I don't like chocolate and the hot cross,
but I don't mind peel am.

Speaker 14 (01:46:23):
I familiar with the new clothes good luck, the old
superstition that says that that wearing new clothes on Easter
brings good good luck to the rest of the year.

Speaker 7 (01:46:33):
God.

Speaker 14 (01:46:34):
Yeah, yeah, So if you I don't know, I don't
know what, if you've done much shopping recently, but on Sunday,
I'll be putting on your Sunday best with with new clothes.
Because there was something we always kind of got installed
in us as kids that.

Speaker 26 (01:46:46):
Good luck for is it?

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
Is it in the Bible?

Speaker 14 (01:46:50):
No, I don't think Jesus dwelled too much on.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
The That's what I'm saying. Why are you perpetuating that
new clothes good luck Easter? Okay?

Speaker 26 (01:47:00):
What are you doing. What are you doing?

Speaker 14 (01:47:02):
What's set me in the lush household on Sunday?

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
You know what, m i'n't got an answer for that.
I think we might be in Central Mountain biking, but
I think it depends on the weather and the kid's
timetables and all sorts of other stuff. But you watch
the Space greetings, welcome, seven past eleven. Hope you God.
Someone says, don't feed your dog top Cross buns because

(01:47:30):
the raisins are like chocolates. They're both poisons to dogs.
It's not lethal, but the vip bull will be. Marcus
and my Cathic upbringing Good Friday was when Christ died
on the cross. Hints across buns, eating on Friday, rose
again on Sundays. So eggs, satisfying, new life. What's Monday?

Speaker 4 (01:47:47):
Jee?

Speaker 3 (01:47:48):
Because other Monday was the key to it all. You
gotta do something on Monday, Jane, Marcus welcome Hi.

Speaker 29 (01:47:55):
Yeah, I like one of your callers. Before I was
brought up Catholic and we always had the because obviously
Good Friday was really really sad. Everything was scraped in
purple and everything was sad, and we went to church
and everything else, so we did have the hot cross
buns on the probably because they had the crosses on them.

Speaker 10 (01:48:12):
Yea.

Speaker 29 (01:48:14):
It was sort of celebrating the end of Lent, I suppose,
because you hadn't had any sweet stuff during Lent and everything.
We had to give up lollies, and so then Easter
came and we had the buns, and then we weren't
allowed to have our eggs until Sunday after Mass. We
had to go to Mess on Sunday Confession on Saturday.
On Sunday we went to Mass and the whole place

(01:48:35):
was ablaze with light and all the purple was gone
and everything was happy. And then we went home and
we had our Sunday roast and then we had the
eggs afterwards. And we always my grandma, my Scottish grandma
who they were Catholic on that side too. She always
bought all us three girls a brand new dress for Easter,
and yeah, and we were dying to wear it, you know.

(01:48:57):
She'd drop it off a week or two before and
it'd be hanging in the wardrobe and we couldn't wait
the Easter to get it get it on us, and yeah, yeah,
So she always did that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:07):
And that all sounds quite lovely. The way evels. That
sounds like a lovely part of your childhood.

Speaker 8 (01:49:11):
Oh yeah, it was great.

Speaker 25 (01:49:12):
It was great, really, yeah.

Speaker 29 (01:49:14):
Yeah, apart from the fact we were taught by nuns
and they could be a bit stern, yes.

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
Yes, so there appears to be a downside, but there's
always and I imagine that's still what you do or
not quite apart from the new dress.

Speaker 29 (01:49:27):
Well, I've just finished making some bosh hot buns, well
hot crossbunds.

Speaker 14 (01:49:32):
Well, the dough for them.

Speaker 29 (01:49:34):
It's going to sit in the fridge overnight and then
tomorrow I'm going to make them because I've got friends
coming around. We play marge On on a Friday and
we have afternoon tea, so so I'm just I've got
my dough in the freezer in the fridge ready to go.
So tomorrow I'll make the crossbuns and then yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
Sounds delicious, good like a good luck with the maj Gosh,
they do sound nice. Cross bunst Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:49:59):
Marcus and the alcohol laws changing. I think it's good.
I think most Christians, I expect, wouldn't the grudge people
being able to buy a drink or have drinks with
a meal on over east of these days, met, I
know it's so much to have drinks with a meal.

Speaker 3 (01:50:17):
I thinks have drinks without a meal.

Speaker 25 (01:50:19):
Yeah, both, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (01:50:24):
Don't think we need the government to tell us when
to eat.

Speaker 14 (01:50:26):
No.

Speaker 25 (01:50:27):
The other weird throwback along similar lines is not being
able to have drinks on the beach at the surf
club like they're doing Ossie. Yeah, you know those clubs
right through Queensland and surf clubs, great clubs and but
par and Red Beach they do a Sunday brunch sort

(01:50:50):
of thing, but no alcohol. But it's for fundraising. But
all those clubs, if they had a bit of a restaurant,
that'd be brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:50:58):
Is that that's got the council But let's put a
council by.

Speaker 25 (01:51:02):
Yeah it's a council by I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 14 (01:51:04):
You but.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
Because because yeah, that's great that surf club culture.

Speaker 25 (01:51:10):
A yeah, but that's that's another sort of weird. We
had buy a little like you say. But have I
got time for a quick pacy on? Someone mentioned what
was it the wine Jesus turning water into wine?

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
He said it was his first miracle. Well I didn't
realize that.

Speaker 25 (01:51:27):
Right, Well, first one in the Bible recorded in the Bible.

Speaker 3 (01:51:30):
Which I've always like to learn about that Christ's first miracle.

Speaker 4 (01:51:33):
There we go. Yeah, there's a.

Speaker 25 (01:51:35):
Quick thing about that. It's not really a very well
known point about that or teaching, but some say, well,
in the Bible, the people of Israel are represented symbolically
as a as a grapevine, big large grapevine, and Christians

(01:51:55):
are grafted onto that through faith. So the two two
two of the Abrahamic faith represented by by the grapevine.
But the teaching is that the turning the water into
wine wine, bang, the you know, the the Joseph the
vine and also Jesus, you know the Covenant with the

(01:52:19):
blood being the blood of Christ. Anyway, it's symbolic possibly,
but the teaching is that symbolic turning water, that's people
of the world turning water into wine. Is symbolic of
people of the world coming to faith through Christ and Christianity.
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:52:38):
Marcus, very good, Thank you for that. Matt always good,
always here to learn. Tim. It's Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:52:42):
Good evening, Good evening, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:52:45):
Thank you? Tim?

Speaker 14 (01:52:47):
Yeah, I just want to ever we turn around eastern
and kind of I guess My position on it is
that I think more than ever now we probably need
to lean back into the Christianity side of things. And
you know, it's not necessarily about like all the good
things and you know, not taking the Bible for word,
because I think, and I'll be the firstcause I come
from a Christian background, and I think the key is

(01:53:09):
to realize that, you know, this, this Bible was written,
you know, thousands and thousands of years ago, and it's
it's not about necessarily taking it like literally word for word.
But I think the message and everything that's going on
with with you know, not even restricted to Christianity. Like Marcus,
I actually studied in the you know, you know, as

(01:53:30):
a Christian, I actually did my schooling in the Middle East,
which was you know, eye opening to say the least.
But I strongly feel that now, more than ever, we
need to look inward and we need to look about
you know this, It's all well, I'm good giving these storaggs,
I'm all about that, but you know what, what's the
message here? And if you don't mind me, Marcus, I
use this correlation with Valentine's Day, and you know, I've

(01:53:52):
got mates that kind of say Valentine's Days is commercial
you know, crop or whatever, and you don't need to
do that, but you know, like what's an excuse to,
you know, shall someone you love, you know, with gifts
or affection kind of thing. And I think it can
correlate with these We don't necessarily have to, you know,
go to church or you know, do your reconciliation, but
there's an opportunity there to you know, you know, dig

(01:54:14):
deep and and what's the real essence of kind of
you know, most religions, it's about loving one another and
caring for one another. And I think, you know, with
everything that's going on at the moment, if we can
kind of you know, grasp the bone to a couple
of those values, you know, everyone's going to be better
for it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
Thanks very much, Tom, fifteen past eleven, James, it's Marcus.
Good evening, Good.

Speaker 10 (01:54:38):
Evening, Marcus, just enjoying the show. Great christiananity's taking a
massive dove over the last ten years. Massive just have
to look at the statistics, not so good chases, the
closing down things like that. As we get older, we
get into this new area. I've we'ren at two thousands

(01:55:02):
now getting on to May I believe that our religion
it's kind of set aside. Now, where I can I
say is that with Eastern things. Well, I don't like
being I'm in my fifties and I don't like being
told when I can have a drink or I have
to eat to have a drink, things like that. I

(01:55:25):
think we'll pass that there. I think they should just
let us do what we're like. We're old enough, we're
intelligent enough, we're smart enough. We know these rules that
they bring in. I don't understand them. I really don't.
People find a way around things. Here in christ Church.
To the last six months, you turn't buy alcohol from

(01:55:47):
anywhere after nine o'clock. Bottle stores, you name it, supermarkets
all close nine o'clock. And I believe that we may
be the only city in the country that does a
certain moment.

Speaker 3 (01:56:01):
And I'm not sure that other places, if they're not
far they're looking how successful that is to try and
follow it. I think that came on the back of
police advice because of some of the and this is
from liquor wholesalers selling alcohol.

Speaker 10 (01:56:19):
Yeah, but people find a way around it. They know
they're the close at nine, so they'll just go earlier.
I don't think it's going to change the way people drink.

Speaker 3 (01:56:30):
James, you're in christ Church, right, Does it worry you
that christ Jurch has such a growing reputation as the
crime capital.

Speaker 10 (01:56:44):
Ever since the earthquake, things have taken a mess of
dive really really bad.

Speaker 3 (01:56:50):
So you think about it, you think it might just
be people kind of how they cope, how they coped
with it all.

Speaker 10 (01:56:56):
Yes, I was just talking to have friend was also
talking about how the way we're trating people now, there's
actually nothing there little bit, so they should be deviling
in what their problem is instead of trying to make
it a problem by telling us what to do. I
don't need to be told what to do. Yeah, we're
quite smart. I understand it's for the younger people. Good,

(01:57:20):
but no thanks anyway, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:57:22):
Apparently, James, someone's texted me Apparently in Auckland they've been
shunning at nine pm for quite a while. So I
don't think it's I don't think you guys are just
I don't think it's just christ Church apparently. So yeah,
it's been less a year, Marcus. Across buns were for
Good Friday arisually a day of fasting for Catholics, so
food was simple and minimal. Back in the day. The
buns were simple with the cross as a reminder of

(01:57:45):
the day Jesus died on the Cross. We always had
them after the three pm church service, an actual fact.
Most people love them, so not really a sacrifice to
eat them. Easter eggs were for Sunday. Yeah, I won't
tell you whether I don't. I won't tell you where
the last time I was for church on Easter Friday.
But then jeepers, creepers. Wow, that was an experience you

(01:58:09):
would want to repeat. But there you go. Oh it's interesting.
I people want to sort of jump in for a
bit of a on a theological bent and fancay some
of us saying Christianity is what we need now. Wow,
of all the thoughts, and someone else wants to just
be able to drink on the beach. Not a bad idea.

Speaker 7 (01:58:27):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:58:27):
The thing that breaks down oil is called a Donald Trump.
Very good now, someone said, Amanda said, Sunday's egg day.
The egg represents the stone in front of the tomb.
I don't know if that's true, but I'm up for
the discussion. We learned that at school that it was
the Tom the Greatway to the Tom Rolling Away. It
seems that seems a bit clumsy now, but yeah, you know,

(01:58:49):
just do what you want. People get in touch stuff.
You want to be a part of the show. Twenty
past eleven, I was talking about making your own burgers
and how to steam your barns. But that's kind of
gone by the way. If you want to talk about
Marsden point, that's real cutting edge talk back or sur effectant.
But to talk about suffectant, I mean for a lot
of people down here, I think the East is all

(01:59:09):
about the raw. Of course, East is all about mutton
burning too, so welcome to all the people that are
mutton burning. That season opened yesterday. I think the first
lot of excellent bluff, lot of boats going out by
the way. I was freaked out, Dad, Were you freaked
out by Tim's accent? It didn't seem to did it. Waiver? Yeah,
I thought Term's accent was. I mean, you want to

(01:59:29):
bring people to the to Christ Joe preteens. You're different
with a different voice. Never worth putting on accent for
talkback because it's very hard to sustain it. I don't
seend me long, don't send me long. Emails about religion.
I couldn't I couldn't bear it further and counter to
your caller about the declining Christianity story, and then there's

(01:59:51):
a long, long, long email, but yeah, it's not been revived.
Thirty four zero, mainly over the Dolphins. The backstory to
this is that they sacked their coach and they got
Karen foruran and as the coach and go she's gone. Well,
so there you go. I often say when you're sick
your coach, you get a honeymoon, but that's not backed

(02:00:12):
up by the statistics. But it's worked tonight. But I
think I don't know what's happened with them because they're
actually playing the Dolphins at home, should be home advantage,
so it's not good. But look, do get in touch
with you on a talk mantims Marcus welcome, eight hundred
and eighty detect if you want to come through. Would

(02:00:32):
be nice to hear from you. I'm just looking what
old Seabolts record was with me, and he didn't go
so well tenth last season and fired after a zero
three start, three losses, all of them home matches. Not good,
not good, but they're on fire tonight. Good on you Steve,

(02:00:53):
I'm hearing you McDonald's be able to after work tonight
while they close that. I suppose you gotta have a drink, now,
do you the way it's all going, what are they
ringing for? Not going in on? Are for?

Speaker 2 (02:01:03):
Dare?

Speaker 3 (02:01:03):
I just it's young people putting on voices. Get a girlfriend?
Why would you do that? The only way to have
a prank on talkback is you get two phone lines
and you ring up and then you swear, and then
someone goes out of delay, and then they put the
next call to air without coming out of delay, and
then you can say what you like. That's the classic trick.

(02:01:23):
If you're not even doing that, you're don't even in
the ballpark. So that takes real guts to though, because
you've got it two people. It's not easy to do.
But if you want to be on air half past
eleventh time, we'll call it. Oh, I haven't to checked
the Middle East or Brent Crude. I'm sick of Trump
and its endless greend standing he's making. He's mocking. He's

(02:01:46):
mocking Macron now for getting beaten up by his wife.
Well he hits low, don't he? Hello, Kathy, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (02:01:54):
I'ms I was listening to you talking about you're going
to be making hamburgers or talking about making hamburgy Yes, yes,
which calls need to ring because I went down to
McDonald's was a kid, and they wanted hamburgers, obviously, and
we were looking at the side show there with all
their bits and pieces, and I couldn't believe the hamburgers

(02:02:16):
that they got that we was supposed to be the
hamburgers that were on there, saying they looked nothing like them.

Speaker 3 (02:02:22):
Yeah, that's right, But I think people, Yeah, I think
people expect them to look nothing like them, though, don't
they What did you expect them? Disappointed?

Speaker 19 (02:02:31):
Well?

Speaker 7 (02:02:31):
I think so. But I think when you look at
the prices of them and you think, well, that looks
like a good meal, even though it's probably you know,
full of carbohydrates and all the shit you're not supposed.

Speaker 3 (02:02:41):
To eat all that what he's not supposed to eat?

Speaker 7 (02:02:45):
Call the ship worry.

Speaker 3 (02:02:46):
Schooper's kify do you eat with that mask?

Speaker 19 (02:02:50):
No?

Speaker 7 (02:02:50):
And I'm a Questian too, but there you go. And yeah,
but you know when you look at the prices and
you see what you get for the price, and then
you know, like they get their chips, their little packet
of chips, and like the chips are cold, and you
kind of think, well, you know, I said, I'm not coming.

Speaker 3 (02:03:09):
I think you're specified for Yeah, I think you're specify
for chips that are freshly made. I don't like a
party too, Yeah I do.

Speaker 7 (02:03:18):
And now but you just kind of think, well, you know,
your I said to the kids, no, never again. If
you don't like what I make at home, you could start.
I'm not I'm not wasting my money on this, you know.
And the other thing I wanted to say to your.

Speaker 3 (02:03:32):
Marcus was so tell them to get a paper on Yep.

Speaker 7 (02:03:35):
You watched ye President Trump's addressed to the nation. What
a load of crap. You know, I don't think that
man could lie straight in bed. He just took a
heap of crap. Hay, how wonderful America was. And he
went through the wars from World War One to the

(02:03:55):
Vietnamese War, right, and he was telling his audience and
great American audience, how the American army had saved you know,
the world from this time to this time. Well, you know,
like they need to check their history because they didn't
even join World War two til nineteen forty three when

(02:04:17):
they were bombed at pil Harbor. But the New Zealanders,
the Australians, the ANZACs and most of Europe were in
there in nineteen thirty nine, nineteen.

A week or so ago you were talking about Petro
Radio Service. Yeah, and the name of the SUP was
called red Ex. Oh, you're right, and it costs about
twenty cents a squirt. And I was the pain of
putting it in because about poet colomesas down the road.

(02:05:48):
I have to put data in the engine and always
sounded quieter.

Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
Can you still do so.

Yeah, yeah, it's great.

Speaker 3 (02:05:58):

Speaker 20 (02:06:00):
I haven't tried it for years.

Speaker 3 (02:06:02):
Why did you give up on it?

Speaker 20 (02:06:06):
I don't know. I think it's you can't get it anymore.
And to keep the story going, I had a Humber eighty.

Speaker 3 (02:06:14):
Love a Humber eighty, and I.

Speaker 20 (02:06:20):
Put it in that and it was going really good.
And then I came along and bought a ninety pours
froke motorcycle and I put some silicone stuff in the
in the gearbox and gave it up a cylinder lubrication

(02:06:42):
and took it into a Honda agent for some something
small to be repaired. And they said to me that
was passed. This ninety that ever came.

Across was what a great thing to.

Speaker 20 (02:06:54):
Say, and and blawed me down. I went to the
warehouse the other day and in the car apartment I
bought a bottle of his only engine treatment, which I
never thought the warehouse would sell. Cleans for stores, protects
noisy bells, and produces some wear and tear. There's really

good stuff. What's it called again, Buzzoni?

(02:08:17):

Easter song. Nothing, nothing, They're all dirges twenty six. That's
where the money is. Easter carols. Use I've googled it.
Twenty six to twelve text if you can, I'll say

the other thing I watched on the TV because the
kids are about to watch a butt of YouTube after
school the end of the term. We watched about burg
has been made. I also watched It's quite a good
chef that does a YouTube thing and he thought all
the viral food trends tried and they did popcorn with
help me out, Dan, what would you do popcorn with?

(02:09:02):
What are those brightly colored sweets? No, not em and m's. Yeah, skittles,
popcorn and skittles, and that was very good. They tried that.
That worked. Popcorn and skittles looked really good. But the
other thing they did was they did ice cream bread.
And all you do is you get ice cream and

(02:09:24):
add a cup of flour and then you bake it
and it makes bread. Was extraordinary. So the two successful
ones were kettle swopcorn and ice cream bread. So we've
heard about three ingredient recipes. This is a two ingredient
ice cream bread. Two cups of ice cream, one and
a half cups of self righteous flour and you bake it.

(02:09:45):
Who would have thought a ice cream bread fifty zero?
Manly they got the half. They got that Karen four,

I said there's no Easter carols.

Speaker 20 (02:10:14):
No.

Speaker 23 (02:10:14):
Well, the song to have played is a song by
Roger Miller called Easter Is, and he explained throughout the
song what Easter is all about? Easter Is?

Speaker 3 (02:10:29):
It sounds terrible?

Speaker 23 (02:10:32):
What well that song?

Speaker 3 (02:10:34):

Speaker 23 (02:10:37):
There's also Peter cotton Tail. Peter Cotton Tail.

Speaker 3 (02:10:44):

Speaker 23 (02:10:47):

Garland and Fred Astare.

Watch in the background our chiming clock?

Speaker 3 (02:11:23):
Is it chime? Is it set to twenty two?

Speaker 23 (02:11:26):
It's running a bit fas no kidding, climbing at quarter
to actually yeah, but Easter is a beautiful song. It's
so popular. I play it often for people at the
community cottage we go to and they all love it.

Speaker 3 (02:11:43):
I love a community cottage. I'd love a community cottage.
Sounds great, We've.

Speaker 23 (02:11:48):
Got one here in Addington.

Speaker 3 (02:11:52):
Because the real reason there's no Christmas Carols is because
there's no Easter carrolls is because Easter was a time
of a sad time, whereas Christmas was a happy time.
That's the obvious answer, isn't it.

Speaker 23 (02:12:03):
M But Peter Cotton was a happy song.

Speaker 3 (02:12:08):
But is that? Does that mention Easter?

Speaker 23 (02:12:11):
Yeah, yeah, it does.
