Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Greetings, good evening and welcome my name as Marcus with
you till twelve o'clock tonight. Fun fact about me? Fun
fact about me is I couldn't think of a fun fact. Therefore,
tried to google a fun fact about myself on chet
GPT and that didn't turne out that good. I'm too
embarrassed to read them. So anyway, I'm big on fun facts.
Maybe when you're cool tonight, before you're talking, give a
fun fact about yourself. Yes, seems to be big and

(00:37):
like icebreaker these days, you gotta have fun facts about yourself,
don't you? And I don't know what the fun fact
about myself is. Anyway, I need to have those in
my back pocket. Fun facts he til twelve one of
his Marcus Good Evening. The numbers are eight, one hundred
and eighty daddy. Yes, if you can start your call
the fun fact about yourself, that would well, as long
as it's fun. What I'm enjoying the World Cup right,

(01:01):
the football. I wanted to tune into a show and
on by show, just to show, just to see the
highlight where's that shows? Anyone knows? Does TV one have
his show? Is it on ESPN? I wanted to see
Missy's hat trick? But everywhere I went. When I googled
MESSI a YouTube it said GEO blocked for this area,

(01:21):
So I haven't seen the goals yet. Does he one
know where I can go? I just want to see,
even if it's that guy Chang. Just want to see
an hour show of Who's beaten Who? I've very much
enjoyed the fans, the Scottish fans at Fenway Park was great,
the Norse fans rowing up the escalator was tremendous. I
just want to see it. I just want to see
an hour show that gives you all the goals of
the highlights and who's been banned and who's been kicked

(01:44):
out and who's got yellow carded? Does that show exist?
Let me know just quickly if you can call up
about that for a start, tell you what I was
at the supermarket look for something that wasn't there today
on the way to work, and I succumbed and bought
myself a pinky bar. I wouldn't have had one of
those for four How did that still exist? Who would
buy a pinky bar? You never see them advertised? And

(02:07):
is it for children who'd buy one? I mean, my
kids have never asked me for a pinky bar? Who
would buy those? Who were they targeted to? I've never
seen any commercial for them, but they are much better.
Things have disappeared, like Jefferson tangy fruit shit. The pinky
bar just exists and exists and exists and never goes away.
It's probably better than a chocolate fish. But how could that?

(02:28):
How could it still survive? Can you answer me that?
Why doesn't it die? Maybe I'll tell you something the
pinky But I've never heard anyone say, oh, they're great,
you can cook with them. I've not not once heard
anyone say anything interested about a pinky bar. But anyway,
if you do I've got anything to say about that,
give me a call eight hundred eighty ten eighty. And
also where you can go and watch the watch an

(02:51):
omnibus for the football. Yes, that's important to me tonight.
I just want to see an omnibus of all the
best bits and then I can watch the news. I mean,
to be honest, I should buy the monthly packages, but
I can't be faft I don't know where I wouldn't
know to find it on the remote. And I can't
be bothered with the discussion with the kids saying could
you get us hooked up for the football? Because I

(03:12):
can't do it. I don't want to tell them that
I'm not that good at because fun fact I studied computing.
But yeah, I don't want to tell them, hey, can
you go and get it so you can buy the
sky package to watch the football. I don't really want
to give TVND any money either. After that thefing around
with tipping point. So yes, what are we going to
talk about to that? Well, I've already mentioned fun facts

(03:34):
and pinky bars. Who would buy a pinky bar? You would, Steve.
I'm thirty two. I love pinky bars. We have them
in our vending machine at work. I think loving something
and having them in ther vending machine are two different things.
When I go to walk and there is a vending machine,
and when you go to the vending machine, you've got
no other option and you end up buying the least

(03:56):
horrible thing in there. I don't even know what that is, Marcus.
I buy a pinky bar every week my groceries also
the baker in Rolliston Square sells a pinky bar slide. Yes,
I quite like the shops at Rolston. When I caught
the bus there and got landed in the outskirts of Rollston,
had to walk for about an hour to get into
the center. Just assume the bus would drop me in

(04:17):
the middle. I was actually left in a rural area.
That's sad fitting when you get a bus and you
end up in the rural area and the bus driver
has just sort of turned the engine off and just
sitting there to restart the bus route and you get
off and just walk. Marcus, I was wondering the same
thing regarding a highlights package. I didn't want to pay
forty four to ninety five to TV, said could someone

(04:38):
tell us where the highlight highlight packages for the Football
World Cup? Because if I'm wondering about it and a
Texas wondering about it, then other list is out there
will be wondering about it. As the Warriors game in
christ sold out, I would imagine, so I imagine this
could be the last thing to sell out there for
a while because as the NPC going to sell out,

(05:00):
probably can't afford to play there. Yes, completely sold out.
It's sold out in five days. This is June twenty one.
This is this weekend. It's versus the Cowboys. Some handy
to know that too, say, Cowboys, where are they on
the table? They're doing very well. I don't know they're
that high up. I get in touch. You want to

(05:21):
start the whole ball rolling tonight and start with a
fun fact about yourself. I have got topics. I just
like to start it quite loose at the beginning, to
pick up some of the just some of the you know,
some of the casual people that might want to bring
up about something that's well, they're just out of the
top eight. The Cowboys, they're ninth. See they're not the
worst team, not the best team. Or they've been the
final four? Probably not. Will the Warriors been the final four?

(05:43):
We'll two on the trot. We've lost who knows? Get
in touch if you want to partake in the show.
I have got topics. I just wanted to start about
the pinky bar Marcus ate a crunchy barrow immediately after
a police breathalyzer and got done. Now alcohol, but I
failed up the test. Read this, Read the science on it.
Why would a hokey pokey interfere with the breathalyzer. You're

(06:05):
probably drinking well, were you? Everyone knows the arms about
hockey poke and the breath Eliza. I don't know anything
about that, but you might have something to say about
that anyway, Marcus till twelve. If anyone knows where there
is a omnibus edition for the rugby, I just want
a daily update, and that's what tv Z should be
doing if they truly loved us. Fun fact, I have

(06:25):
a third nipple up the who's got a third nipple?
I think Harry Styles has got a third nipple? Is
it interesting? You're a fun fact about some people. You
can't forget it. They're like a real thing. Third nipples,
aren't they? But that's a fun fun fact. It's called
super numery. So humans have them and monkeys have them,
and yeah, I think Zaki Efron's got one as well,

(06:48):
but it's actually a thing, so extra nipples. Anyway, it's
interesting where we're going tonight, But get in touch if
you want to start the discussion. Oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to detext Marcus
till midnight tonight, and there will be topics. Don't worry
about that. I just want like to get some of
the entra level calm station going first, oh eight hundred

(07:08):
eighty ten eighty, and I'll keep you updated with the
news throughout the evening tonight. I will be giving state
of origin updates too, so if you're watching that elsewhere,
I will be giving results because it's my job. So
you might want to do something different, but yeah, I'm
particularly looking for a roundup. We can't check the safety
of this website. Then set me a website for highlights.
But I can't get it on a work computer. It's

(07:29):
not good, is it? It was only a FIFA thing. I
think that should have been fine. Your market's market. Thanks
for calling. Welcome in, good evening.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Good evening. Now the highlights package is actually on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
What would I google?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Oh you just well just google, just go to YouTube
and then you go to and just put highlights of
like today's game or New Zealand game or today's Well
give me.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Like it would it give me like an hour program
of all what's happened.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Like on here.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
The most of us giving is just the highlights of
the game. So about three three minutes today scoring three
goals and.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
They haven't got the hourly one, so it's basically just
bits of game like two minutes and.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
TVs should be doing this. We're there, they should be
doing that. They've missed a trick on.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
This, especially when you're paying forty four not even.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
If they're not, they should still do that, shouldn't they?
Of course they should come on, Nadia. That's what we want.
We want we want an hour every every day of
just little highlights.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Well think they wouldn't want you.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well, there's so much interest in it now. All the
kids at school will be on the map looking where
Capa Verdi is, won't they. I mean because every primary
school teachers love to turn it into a geography learning experience.
They love a World Cup.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
If you want to google it, just google the go
to YouTube and it's there that it's not in their Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Mark, thank you, Matthew Marcus. Welcome by Marc.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Oh fun fact.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
Yeah, nipples. I've got one on the whole side of
my body.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Has it caused you? Has it caused you anxiety?

Speaker 9 (09:27):
Shame?

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Excitement?

Speaker 9 (09:28):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I mean I should have said that, but I just
wonder if I had a third nipple when you're obviously
reached a happy place.

Speaker 8 (09:37):
Oh oh yeah, I'm very comfortable with my body. With
my beer drinking mate, I go, you know, come on, guys,
I need three boyfriends and the free timer here.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
So was it quite Did your parents always tell you
you had a third nipple?

Speaker 8 (09:53):
Well, I just discovered it myself. It's on the left
hand side. Some people have one on the right hand side.
But I think it's when the baby is a thesis
and when the baby's grown a woman's stomach. It's sort
of when the baby is born, it hasn't fully developed,
so it's something that you know, the baby in a

(10:14):
womb that has eight sort of attachments to it. And
some people they yeah, they just when they came out
the womb, they bring their own body parts. What's them
into the world.

Speaker 10 (10:29):
But no, it's fun.

Speaker 11 (10:30):
I enjoy it.

Speaker 8 (10:31):
It's I've met other people that have a lot of celebrities,
like you're saying, in Hollywood, a lot of the star people,
and they club and special people people of star people.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, I just metthew about just I don't think you
grew in the stomach. I think you grew in the womb.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Is that right?

Speaker 12 (10:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well scientific terms.

Speaker 12 (10:54):
In the womb.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, well yeah, but I think I think the stomach
is something different. But yeah, soul be only would it
be only many men that have extra apples.

Speaker 8 (11:03):
I'm not sure that I am curious if other people
have three or four, because it's where the abs if
you if you work out and you've got abs, and
the when the thesis is developing, that's where it's all attached.
So's every you know, six pack of abs. There's sort
of of interested that someone does have six nipples actually

(11:25):
on each ab of the male body, or if someone
has three or four, because I've only I've got one
person in my family that's got one as well, but
that's on his right hand side, and his girlfriend has
a lot of fun and jokes with him and things
like that. So I've got one on the left, he's
got one on the right. So but I'll be experienced

(11:46):
someone does have four and.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
You've always been You've always demystified. You're happy talking about
it because I don't know.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
Yeah, I had them once. It's talk the people. Yeah,
and then it was interesting. I think my mother was
concerned when they did coup of hiker class at school. Yeah,
changing rooms and they didn't want me to take my
top off and then get teased by boys at school?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
And did you No?

Speaker 8 (12:11):
I didn't because I never entered cup of My mum
wouldn't let me have my top taken off.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
So did they find out at school that you had
an extra nipple?

Speaker 8 (12:22):
My parents knew when I was probably five years old,
but I didn't remember them checking. It wasn't a mold.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
See did your classmates?

Speaker 5 (12:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Did you keep that heading right throughout school?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well?

Speaker 8 (12:31):
When I went to school here, No, just shy anyways,
didn't tell anybody.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Anything your what are your choice?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (12:40):
Yeah, you know it can be a tricky one.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Are you on a have you got a face group?
Are you on a face group page with people with
extra new what's it called? Are you sure you a
Facebook group or something?

Speaker 8 (12:54):
A Facebook page too? But yeah, I'm trying to find
it a different quick subjects. The people that have got
eye floaters quite interesting, the new sizes. I'm trying to
find a group to talk to on social media that
have eye flow. It's not really a medical thing, but
it is a medical thing to adopt it because you
know it can be distract But.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Just to confirm, are you on a Facebook group for
people with extra nipples.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
I had looked into it, and I know the celebrities
that do as well.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's who is it? It's Mark Wahlberg, Tilda Swelton, Yeah, yeah,
I think it was. I think it was the guy
from Young Direction. Was it was called One Direction. I
think he's gone back on Harry Styles, didn't he?

Speaker 8 (13:41):
Yeah, he sure did. I imagined the season.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I won't share those on radio, but yeah, he might
be on your Facebook page if you go there.

Speaker 8 (13:51):
Some of them quite tiny, So yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's a good it's a good fun fact. Thank you.
There we go. I might take that well, of course.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
They're called super Super supernumeror Numrrory and Matthew Harry start.
Harry Styles has four nipples, is that right?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Four?

Speaker 13 (14:10):
One, two three, four?

Speaker 8 (14:12):
Okay, yeah, because some of them are undeveloped and some
of them are a lot more developed. The third nipple, Yeah,
because on my right hand side there's another nipple there
that it's not developed. Four not as if you see
if you look at a sod of Harry Styles. I
already looked at a photo there's it's exactly the same

(14:33):
size that stands out more. But on the right hand side.
It's not it's like, well it's it's not formed, so
it hasn't formed as much, but it's it's like a
little mark. But I know it's there.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Okay, Roger said, I thought, thank you that twenty four
past eight. Well we see fun facts, so yeah, well
that's a text of fun fact about themselves, Marcus fun fact.
The third nipple is actually which is mark also known
as the devil's teeth that we should be shaming people
about that. I have one of, so does my daughter.
All our markings are mirror image Jane. Jane's got the

(15:11):
devil's teet. Wow, goodness it. It's not with a show.
I thought would go there that quickly. But I'm up
for the discussion. A lot of very good texts about this.
Hold your horses back in two ticks twenty four past eight.
Here we go back at you eight hundred eighty ten
eighty nine to nine to text. I'm just wondering why

(15:32):
Tevans you aren't putting out now along footage every night
about the football World Cup. It would have been a
great thing to have done for us that don't want
to spend forty five buying the monthly pass mainly because
we don't trust the tech or our ability to do
the tech. We'd like to just kind of keep up
with what's because it's some great matches and great stories. O.
We're looking for line or misses. Hat hat trick, couldn't

(15:53):
find it, someone said, Marcus Deesler's down to two forty
eight in christ Church. Stay good, very good. That's good
to know. Anyway, get in touch of your want to
be a part of the show dot. I will keep
it with the news about the course of the evening.
We've got a state of origin at ten oh five
or something like that. I will keep you updated with that.

(16:14):
And if you're on a talk on air tonight, that's
the plan. Get in touch. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine two nine two to text if
you do want to come through anything else you want
to mention. There will be topics tonight, just so you know,
and some of them will be reinteresting to you. But

(16:35):
in the meantime, if you want too, well what's happened
so far, please get in touch. Yeah, and look, I'll
bring you as I said, as I've said to you,
I'll bring Oh, by the way, the govern'sory keen for
petrol prices to come down, So I'm relying on you
people to be vigilant about that. Have it bit of
a look and let us know if they're not coming
down as quickly as they went up. That's the thing,
is that they should be coming down. But yes, get

(16:56):
in touch if you want to be part of the show.
Our toy story starts tomorrow too. People. It's been a
long time, they're saying, it's kind of got strong messages
about screen time and stuff like that. I don't know
if they've gone back to that well once to often,
but there's a bit of hype before. I think Taylor
Swift's done the song and seems to be quite a yeah.

(17:18):
Well today is think a teacher today. And I don't
want to turn this into a Morkish sentimental thing, but
I'm curious to know if there is a teacher in
your life that did something that you think back and thought, wow,
good on them. And it might be something slightly unconventional.
And when I sound convention obviously I want to talk
about something within the boundaries of the teacher pupil relationship,

(17:40):
but something that you've thought back and thought wow, good
on them. For doing that because we want teachers do
all of that. I mean teachers, that's the thing they
want to do is help people, and they go to
extraordinary lengths to do that. So if you've got an
amazing teacher story but not yeah, and maybe if it's
one that you haven't put on the radio before, it's
something that a teacher did, you think, wow, actually, wow,
that took some guts to do that, or that was

(18:02):
quite out there, or good on them, or I couldn't
believe they did that, but in the actually, wow, that
was fantastic. So you've got something to say about that
that I'd like to hear you talk about that. That's
teachers and an extraordinary thing a teacher did. So I
don't know what that is, obviously, but I think it's
quite a far reaching brief. If you want to start
the whole wall rolling, that would be great. If you

(18:23):
could start with a fun fact about yourself, that's even better.
Who doesn't have a fun fact? Marcus? How about having
a sweepsteak for the Hurricane Chiefs final on Saturday. But
of fun for listeners, I've got zero interest in a
Rugby sweep steak. That's a problem. I just got into
it because they're never any good. Every time I've done
a Rugby sweepsteak, it's been absolute disaster because the scores

(18:43):
are too wide reaching. So yeah, I'm not into Rugby sweet,
but I'm sure there will be other shows that do it.
I always thought it was too much of a lazy
way to end a Friday with a sweep steak. When
is that? Is it Saturday? Hero win? Chiefs will win?
That chiefs are good? My hiding. Can you take your bells?
Can they take their bells? You can take your bell
So there you go, There you go, mister Man's Bridge.

(19:07):
They have allowed that to happen. They haven't got all
pricky about that, and I think that's reflected well on them.
So the odd surprising good thing your teacher did for you. Yeah, anyway,
so get in touch. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty Marcus.
I read somewhere that extra nipples are for the witches
familiars to drink from. I don't know what a witch is,

(19:29):
familiar is I'm into that discussion. But yeah, we're already
talking about that, not because I've got a perverse interest,
but because people were talking about fun facts. So that's
the situation. I learned today what a sad iron is.
You know what a sad iron is. It's just an
iron that you don't plug in. Because sad, once upon
a time meant heavy in the Middle Ages. So a

(19:50):
sad iron is just a heavy iron you don't plug in.
So who wants to start the whole wall rolling? People?
Get in touch? Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty teachers,
the things you haven't said about your teacher that they
did that was beyond the call of duty and looking
back and they think you're actually good on them for
doing that. Might have seen a bit sketchy at the time,
or not sketchy, but you know, or maybe sketchy.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
That.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
And Football World Cup and piggy bars. That's the discussion
so far, and fun facts to begin, please if you
want to or not. By the way, not looking good
for the snowmaking. Mount Hut given up as the swarm
winds have stalled the snowmaking. Oh, by the way, snow
groomers listened to this show, So hi to all the

(20:33):
snow groomers. So yeah, they go all night and they
talk and they they call up occasionally. I think they're
up to drona cad RONA. Yep, Robin, this is Marcus.
Thanks for studying the whole war rolling and good evening.

Speaker 14 (20:52):
Hello Marcus. I want to talk about a wonderful teacher
that I had. My family moved to a little country
high school and in my fifth form, and my parents
thought that I would most probably have to go to

(21:13):
boarding school. But anyway, at this little country district high school,
there was this wonderful teacher called Bill Hills. And I'd
only been there about a month and it was announced
that we were going to be going to Queenstown.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
District High School.

Speaker 15 (21:36):
So this is a long time ago.

Speaker 14 (21:40):
And he said, and don't you get excited, because you're
not going to me. And I was pretty livid about
it and went home to my parents to say everyone
was going except me. But because he said to me,
you and I are going to stay behind and do

(22:02):
your third form, fourth form and half your fifth for met.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
And I was there fitting about the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Wow, So the.

Speaker 14 (22:16):
Story gets better because he did that. I mean, it
just couldn't happen today, could it. So there's this male
teacher with this stroppy fifteen year old girl. So I
think the rest of them went on the Monday. So

(22:37):
it was Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, And on Friday
he said to me, go home and pack your bags
and I'm going to take you over to Queenstown Town
and you'll be there in time for the dance tonight.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (22:58):
And he packed me in the car and took me.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, it's a great story.

Speaker 14 (23:04):
Well it's amazing, because great story.

Speaker 16 (23:07):
It just couldn't happen.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
He did the right thing and that was enough to
get your mess up to scratch. And you were up
to scratch for that. He got you up there.

Speaker 14 (23:15):
I was in the eighties for school suit do you go?

Speaker 7 (23:20):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
He did it did the three years. It's amazing story.
And good on you for agreeing to move to a
new high school at fifteen, because I can't imagine many
people want to do at fifteen, have to remake all
those friendships and stuff.

Speaker 14 (23:33):
Well, I went to many schools. My father was in
the bank.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I just got moved and was this was it in
Otago or South? And the school you're at.

Speaker 14 (23:45):
I wasn't going to mention the school, but I will.
It was ran fairly district high school.

Speaker 17 (23:51):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (23:52):
Yeah, wow, Yeah, Dear old Bill Hills and There'll be
people that will be nodding because he was. Yes, he
had his own roles.

Speaker 18 (24:04):
He was just amazing.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's a great story. It's quite moving. Robn, thank you
so much. Think this would be a good topic. I
think it's worth getting in on this one because I think,
and some people think, oh, heap, cheap as creepers. What
will the teacher be doing? What are the teachers do with?
These are special stories, the out of the box, the teeth,
the out of the box that a teacher that might
have changed your life, well might have at hindsight, you
think good on them for doing that. What was it
you mentioned their name and not mentioned their name? Brett's

(24:26):
told me that the left lane on State High one
northbound is blocked from Wellington near Tawa Interchange. Also fifty
nine closed from Puka.

Speaker 10 (24:36):
To a Bay.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I don't know what's going on. If you do not
let me know, it's all about teachers and pinky bars
and super numerously, I think that's what it's called. Bennett's Marcus,
good evening and welcome.

Speaker 19 (24:48):
You get it, Marcus. So, when I was about fifteene
or had problems not showing up to classes. Wow, but
I always showed up to the trade classes and you know,
I had this one a teacher at Woodward, and he said,
you know, you've got a shoes showing up is what's
going on? I said, I just don't enjoy it. Made it,

(25:09):
It's just that it doesn't do it for me. And
he said that he considered doing an apprenticeship or a
trade and I didn't know what he was talking about.
So explained it over a couple of classes to me,
and then he gave me some phone numbers.

Speaker 13 (25:20):
Cool.

Speaker 19 (25:20):
So I went home. I told my old man about it,
and two months later by had an apprenticeship and I
was down at the school getting final room.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
That's the way. What was what was your trade?

Speaker 8 (25:34):
Construction?

Speaker 19 (25:35):
I'm a builder by trade, but I don't do ask now.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
I was just curious, No what what? And you'd have
seen you into?

Speaker 20 (25:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Yeah no.

Speaker 19 (25:42):
So look it was a great Marcus. I enjoyed it.
I got somewhere in life.

Speaker 13 (25:49):
I was happy.

Speaker 19 (25:51):
Yeah, the best thing that you know the teacher ever
done for me.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Well, it makes sense, doesn't if someone's not someone's not
into a time to get out of school, don't learned something? Yeah?

Speaker 19 (25:59):
Yeah, well you know, as soon as I got my apprenticeship,
turned up every day, but did everything that was asked
to me. I never had any iss that was just score.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Wasn't for me, and the obviously new had aptitude. You
could see that in the woodwork.

Speaker 19 (26:11):
You're always showed up for woodwork, medical, metal work, in economics,
but yeah, shruggle to shot up for anything else.

For taking my call, my pleasure.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
I've got a little story for you about about a teacher,
and I'm just hoping it wasn't you, because I have
talked to one one said person.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
But I was never a teacher.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
No, no, no, no, I told somebody this story.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
You told the story. I see what you're saying.

Speaker 13 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
So Roder of Boys High back in nineteen fifty eight.
Does that ring a bell?

Speaker 6 (27:40):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
If it's a good story, I'd be good to hear
it again, no doubt.

Speaker 21 (27:45):
Eight.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
All the people weren't a bet at anyway. So what
happened was so, you know, thirteen years old and Roder
of Boys High so sports twice. We only ever had
up until this point rugby and hockey, right and in
the winter time, you know, they were the only winter
sports fifty eight, a long time ago. So we had

(28:10):
this wonderful guy called Ken Branch who was a metal
work woodwork teacher, very good at his job, and a
strict guy in the classroom. Obviously, we back then, we
had layers. We had a lot of sharp tools.

Speaker 20 (28:26):
Like.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Chisels and just a lot of instruments that you could
hurt yourself.

Speaker 18 (28:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
He was very strict, but he was fair, you know. Anyway,
he was from England and he had been a soccer player,
well we always called it soccer back in the day,
you know. And he said to a group of us
one day, because we were talking about sports, he said, oh,

(28:52):
would you like to have a soccer team here? And
a bunch of us said yeah, we were keen, as
you know. So he quickly organized a team and became
the coach, and we trained and we played pretty well,
and we played around the Bay of Plenty against you know,
teams like Wakatani and Carola and I think we even

(29:14):
went up to Hamilton. So yeah, it was a lot
of fun and it was new. And his his name,
I think, you know, I told you Ken Branch and
we had a nickname for him which was Twiggy.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I thought to be Twiggy.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, very good. Yeah, Hopey's listening, Thanks so much to that.
Keep it going, Kelly. It's Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 22 (29:38):
Hi Marcus, just bringing you about the road closure between
Poker Bay and pie Krokadki yes, yeah, I live in
right near the road closure. I got to pikkaik in
tonight bang on eight o'clock and they wouldn't lead me through,

(30:01):
so I had to go right round to uh transmission gully.
So it's eight forty seven and I'm just pulling into
my driveway.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Got a whissle, I asked the guy.

Speaker 16 (30:14):
I said, I.

Speaker 22 (30:15):
Literally just live past that sea road. I know you're
not sit up yet. Can I get through them here
on eight o'clock? And he said no, we close on
We close at eight. And I said, well, I'm sure
you haven't set up. He said, how do you know that?
I said, because I live on the road on the
literally right there where you sit up. And he said no,
So I had to go right round.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's just planned road and it's not even an exit,
is that right?

Speaker 22 (30:40):
Well I thought it was residential access and then no,
they're not letting the residents through.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Okay, but it's not as it's just something they're planned
to do.

Speaker 22 (30:50):
Right yeah, yeah, yeah, So road closed at eight, but
I was there bang on eight and I just thought,
you know'd let me through, but nope. So it's fixing
that sea road.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Oh you oh yeah, okay, So what are they actually doing?
They re or something.

Speaker 22 (31:08):
Yeah, they're reselling, but they haven't put up very good
signs there.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
Terrible, that's terrible.

Speaker 22 (31:14):
A lot of cars just boost pass these big pumps
in the roads.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Were you going, okay? So you had to go right round,
right round?

Speaker 22 (31:23):
And I was there bang on eight and I said,
I know you.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Haven't set up yet, and they were like, yeah, inflexibly.
That's what's holding this country back. That state Highway fifty
nine clothes put it to obey and pay khar kaiki.
So that's the situation there. Hold your horses. It's going
to be all weak, I think. Twelve away from nine Teaching, Teaching, Teaching,
Pinky Bars extra numerousy nine from nine from nine Marcus.

(31:50):
My first teacher was very nice man by the name
of Koobi Witt and Hannah. I was one of the
original five pupils at lone Cody skilled Cuddy Cuddy very
special place, and I've just had a bit of their
fiftieth anniversary. Was a smiley teacher really called thanks again, Sasha. Oh,
this is a good chance people have their shout outs
about teachers. Fun fat. I almost got eaten by Crocodile

(32:12):
and Port Douglas, where one stuck on me when I
was walking near the creek. Brilliant and someone's a sweep steak.
Oh no, I'm just ecstatic that people can take their
belts if you want to talk on you, that's the plan.
Stand nine away from nine, with you till midnight. Soight
of origin happened from five past ten. Yes, in the meantime,

(32:36):
let's get in touch now. Yeah, if you want to
be part of that. To the planned people, oh, eight
hundred and eighty, ten eighty, anything else you want to mention,
I'm here for that. Let's be hearing from you teachers,
the ones that did something quite extraordinary for you. And
when I say extraordinary, might thought, wow, jeepers might have
just come to focus twenty say oh, that's why they
would have done that. They might have even strapped you

(32:59):
in a loving way. Although I can't imagine it's worked
out for anyone that was normally a cry for help
from the teacher. I would have thought, though, bring it back,
bring it back, that's what we want. Bring it back.
You don't think anyone wants to be hit anymore? Do
they strapped? Apart from it seems like he's really Crokeld
Jimmy Clarks doesn't just looking on the front of the
Daily Mail.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
I don't know why he filmed it all. It's a
real devotion to the craft of TV presenting to put
all that stuff on it. I actually was on tonight,
I've got I don't know why the TV's in the
study on TV one. It must have been still on
from the soccer. Is there been a controversy with Nathan Clear?
Is he out? I'm just seeing he's saying that he's
the health scare or Nathan Clear around an injury cloud

(33:40):
for tonight. He will need a painkilling injection before he
runs out after suffering injury to his hip. Blow was
so painfully found it difficult to sort of lie down
for three days after being excellently hit by teammate for
Noah Blake in game one. Jeepers evening, dB, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 23 (33:59):
Good evening.

Speaker 12 (34:01):
I am.

Speaker 8 (34:02):
After secondary school. I stayed in touch for the couple
of my secondary school teachers. So I left secondary school
what seventy eight, seventy nine and a few years ago now,
so about five years ago I decided I'd look one
of them up because I moved away from Auckland. I

(34:23):
went to secondary school in Auckland and I turned.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
Up with the full sized coaches.

Speaker 8 (34:28):
I would in the backstreets of Bevonport to visit this
particular teacher who was still well alive in his late eighties,
I guess, and he was a tongue in and every
time I turned up, they always drag you in. That

(34:48):
sounds derogatory, but anyway to sit you down and give
you a meal, and he says, and not only will
you be saying for lunch, he says, there's a few
other guests. At another of my secondary school teachers turned
up and my ex principals now at that stage he

(35:13):
was ninety eight. Goodness, principal, I'm still as as sharp
as a as a knife, and he made one hundred.
I haven't heard if he's shot through yet, but yeah,
it was. I had a great afternoon. But of course
one of them had to wait for the somebodiot's parked

(35:34):
the bus outside your house.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
It's good story TV. I'm gonna go to news, but
like that a lot. Anything about teacher is fantastic. Right
through the fourth wall, we are talking interesting stories about teachers.
Is teacher. It is think your teacher, David, what did
your teacher? Do you think?

Speaker 20 (35:51):
Well?

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Actually, that was probably quite a smart thing. In hindsight,
you might the well actually, and even still, what about
remaining friends with your teachers?

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Like dB?

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Did I like that story a lot? Get in touch
hit on twelve O eight hundred and eighty Tendy nineteen
nine to detext Marcus, love you. Most important teacher I
had was mister golt Missus Golton ninety five. When I
was ten years my mother was about to marry my
now wonderful step dad. She sent me down on my
last day of school and said, as much as you
don't want to share your mother with someone else, he

(36:22):
has to learn how to be a new dad. Give
him a break. Best advice ever. He had never been
married before or had children. He's done a fair job.
I'm okay, thanks Amy from christ Church. Oh, Marcus, how
about doing a calcutter on the re last you said
in Greyhouse greyhound race which will be run during your
show on thirty first of July at huang A Nui,

(36:43):
or you could commentate the race. Now, what is a calcutter?
Tell me what a calcutter? Is and is it a
straight race or a circuit race? I need both those
things answered. So you were getting close to the end days,
and I really thought the dog people would have actually
managed to manage to save that. I'd love a calcutter
if I knew what it was. And teachers just six

(37:06):
weeks for the greyhounds, then the long go to Australia
to ply their trade. Get in touch. If you want
to talk on here, my name is Marcus. Welcome teachers.
Love a teacher story? Well, you might end up I
was going to say that, but it's out of it's sketchy.
I was gonna say you might have ended up marrying
a teacher. But I suppose you can do all sorts
of things after your f skill count. You might have
one of those sorts of stories if you can start

(37:27):
with a fun fact about yourself that makes even more
entertaining from a listen's point of view. No one's managed
to do that yet, the old fun fact. Oh wait,

Speaker 15 (38:29):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yes, someone said, Marcus, I'm currently staying at a friend's
house and they tell me the state of Origin isn't televised.

it was the one I had intermediate school, His name
was mister Peter Gundhy. He took us on a run
around the suburb every morning or afternoon. Was very passionate
about the old Cody dam and logging and the why

question right? We might have a midyear quiz this year

(43:44):
I'd love to your teachers. I just want to hear
teacher stories. We've got sixty five questions in the quiz.
Mark's have a story about someone I'm actually getting together
with their high school then running off and having babies
up north. So when I was in my second year
of a high school, my boyfriend the time, it wasn't
his last year of high school. When he went to
a boys' school. He wanted to go to walk to
go to a concert, and he said, hey, my music

(44:05):
teachers offered a d us and also my mate his
friend of the concert, and we went, great, cool free
ride up my boyfriend. I realized on that trip we
ended up at we ended up. We ended up at
the car broke down. We had to stay overnight. So
we realized that we're actually together seeing each other, and
we confronted them and they asked us not to tell anyone.
I was sixteen at the time, so we went or whatever,

(44:26):
I don't care, and then they both left. She quit
a job at the high school and he left the
school early, and they ran up north. And now they've
got three kids and they're married and they got a
business together. He would have been seventies. She would have
been thirty at the time. I think my graphics teacher
put up these threes boys running past with water ballot
and buckets. He intercepted them, put his hand in the bucket,
pulled out a big handful in both hands, and smashed

(44:47):
them against these boys forehands classic wow Marcus. In the
mid seventies, back of the day, our teacher gave us
ten words to spell every day for homework. Next morning
he would test us, but you got the strap on
the hands for everyone you got wrong, but he wouldn't
give you more than four, although tough to takes a
small board. To this day, men can I spell? I

(45:09):
always thank him? Graham Carpetty Coast. How many spelling mistakes
do you think are in that text? For a guy
that was whipped for bad spelling? How many spelling mistakes
do you think are in that text? Shot? The answer
is none. Even the punctuation is perfect. Makes you wander,
doesn't it? Goodness? May might forward that to Erica be

(45:30):
in who wheelhouse, wouldn't it? Nineteen past nine? Let's go
looking forward to your teaching stories. Is thank your teacher day?
But you might have a teacher that did something extraordinary
for you or not. I don't want to about extraordinary
in some sort of nef way, but you might have think, well,
actually that was pretty edgy, but what they did was
a great thing to have done. Save my bacon. You
might got one of those stories. We've all got teacher stories.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Have we have?

Speaker 9 (45:53):
We though?

Speaker 25 (45:54):
Have we.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Come on? Let's be hearing it there. I can see
Nathan Clary warming up trying to work on his hip.
I think it's something wrong with his hip flicks or
he'll be right though, that'll just be running interference before
the game. But be in touch if you want to
be on air, that's what we are. If there's something
else you want to mention, what is a calcutter in
the last race ever of the Greyhounds? Will it be

(46:21):
on the circular track or the straight track? Text me
through that or phone it and if you want I
don't know which way people want to spin on that one,
but I'm up for your discussion if you want to talk.
You got anything different you want to say, great, would
like to hear from you. All the lines are free obviously.
Humpday Wednesday. State of Origin starts at ten past ten.

as I say, keep those texts coming through or emails.
It's nine twenty three. I would like to hear from
your trunket your day with news too. There's been a
bit of truck problems with traffic north of Wellington, so
just be aware of that. It's scheduled, but no one

eight hundred and eighty Taddy nine two nine to text
you want to talk on air. If there's other stuff
you want to mention, good, I welcome that. Ah, not
much happening that I can see internationally. I think it's
still a disaster. The reflecting pond is turn green. It's

Can't quite work out what that's about. But yes, there's
something else you want to mention it. But try and
get a fun fair. I haven't managed to get anyone
with a fun fact before they call yet. You might
be a fun factor. That would be good. I've got
a text that just says Steve, Thanks Steve. But yeah,
let's be hearing from If you want to be part

(47:46):
of the show twenty five past nine. I'll be right
with you right until the middle tonight, the middle of
the night, which is not that surprising Tim beverage along
from twelve. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah Carol, it's Marcus.
Good evening and where welcome. Hi Carol.

Speaker 26 (48:08):
Oh listen, I can gather you're not very busy tonight.
I normally ring on a Thursday night, but I'll try tonight.
Now what I want to put forward, and I've done
it before, if you would just mention that we are
having a craft market out at rimatucka Baptist Church on

(48:30):
Saturday between ten and two. We have a variety of crafts.
I will be there. I'll be doing it under the
home cooking area. Gems cakes, that type of thing. Oh look,
we're going to make banana because I've got free bananas, right,

(48:50):
so there'll be banana cakes, fruit cake SCons. What a
short bread. I've got the real good Mackay's short bread
made with butter and it goes really well. So people
like those sort of thing things. And I've especially got
some frozen fruit berries because there's a guy that likes

(49:14):
fruit jam. I didn't believe it. Look at cooks so quickly,
it's not difficult. So people like homemade things. So what
have I missed out anything?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
No, I think you've done pretty well. Have you ever
thought of getting on the community notices?

Speaker 20 (49:31):
All right?

Speaker 26 (49:32):
Well, the thing is the local people they put out
notices anyway.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
On the radio. We have a specially. They're always asking
for people to go in the community notices, and you'd
be ideal for that. You go on the website.

Speaker 26 (49:46):
Yeah no, but you see, I'm not modern. I'm not
on the website.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
But when you hang on websites have been around for
forty years. Is that websites are as modern as probably
the motor car. When you're in your seventies, you know
they've been around for a long time.

Speaker 26 (50:04):
I am in the seventies, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
You don't say, you don't say I'm not modern. I'm
not in deomotor.

Speaker 26 (50:10):
Cars, do you No, you're quite right. But the other
thing is, look, I know a lot of quite a
lot of people are in their nineties, and man, they
could leave me standing. But the lady that organizes at Sandra,
she's a little sweetie and her granddaughters just had a

(50:30):
new baby, so she's excited about that, and so we
But we also know people A yeah, I know we
know people that are very sick that we're praying for
because you know, there's not much. Do you pray in
life and death?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Do you pray for people?

Speaker 20 (50:49):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (50:49):
Definitely, I'll pray for you if you.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Like, well, I want to be prayed. What would be
the criteria?

Speaker 26 (50:55):
Will some say that?

Speaker 20 (50:56):
But you know, at the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
How would I know if you'd prayed for me? What
would be different?

Speaker 26 (51:02):
No, you won't know, But I will know because I
will pray for Mark of two z B that he
comes to know God as his savior at the end
of the day, Markus.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Is it dependent on you if I get to know him?

Speaker 13 (51:16):
No, it is not.

Speaker 26 (51:18):
Look we've got a neighbor and I'm telling you I
won't mention his name. He's the most horrid man. He
hates God, he hates Christians.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
Pray for him too, you will do his name.

Speaker 26 (51:32):
No, he's he's going to be down soon.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
What is it working is what works? Is he changed?
Is he becoming less horrible?

Speaker 26 (51:42):
Heck no, he's worse.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Even though you're praying for him's getting worse.

Speaker 26 (51:46):
It's a worry well, he doesn't know. I'm praying for him.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
He should be getting better any regardless, shouldn't.

Speaker 26 (51:53):
He No, No, because he hates God and he hates Christians,
so he won't want prayers. But before he comes, I'm
going to march around the place and pray for him
in particular because I'm already protected under God's banner. Right,
I'm already protected. If God be for us, who can

(52:15):
be against us? That's from the scriptures the Bible.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
You're raising money for your jam, Well.

Speaker 26 (52:25):
Actually the thing is, we don't pay much for a stall,
and the money will come to me and then I
will decide how I will utilize it. I've got big family.
There's people all out there that want money, money, money,
and I want to take my niece out for a meal.
And who too little?

Speaker 18 (52:46):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (52:46):
That doesn't sound So you're raising money to church for
you to take your your niece for a.

Speaker 9 (52:50):
Slap at lunch, Well, why not?

Speaker 27 (52:53):
She needs it.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
You marry and never do.

Speaker 26 (52:58):
Well, she married an African and I'm sorry he's fraud
but the children two children are definitely Africans, but they
were born in New Zealand, so they out. I want
to take her for a meal and the little children.
That's one way I can utilize That's not money.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
It's not for church store money. That's your private money,
isn't it?

Speaker 20 (53:22):
That is private?

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Okay, A lot to one pick. They're all sund it
sketchy to me anyway. Always can you can get in
to give me any notices. That's always good, Jess Joe
twenty nine away from ten, Shirley, it's Marcus. Good evening
and welcome host, Shirley.

Speaker 5 (53:36):
Oh, Marcus.

Speaker 15 (53:38):
I have two little stories, and I won't keep you lying.
I do enjoy your program obviously. My first story is
I attended a high school.

Speaker 8 (53:47):
And I won't say where.

Speaker 15 (53:48):
It is all fifteen, sixteen seventeen year olds. We knew
that this annex that we were on was unstilked, and
somebody some timeback figured out that if we're all in
use and unison walked with our feet on the floor
whilst sitting at our desks.

Speaker 18 (54:07):
The whole schoolroom would move.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
The tector would panic.

Speaker 15 (54:12):
Under your desks, under your desk, and we were all
rubbing our feet together onto the floor. And that was
the little secret that we had. The other little story
is my late husband attended a school in Willington, and
they had a teacher there called sand Shoe Sam, And

(54:33):
whenever the boys were naughty it was a boys school,
he would take the boys out under the tap out
the back, take his sandshoes off and thrash the backside
off the kids who were being naughty with his sandshoe
hence the name Sanshoe Sam.

Speaker 28 (54:49):
Wow.

Speaker 15 (54:50):
Yeah, that's what happened in those days. And if the
girls were naughty in the primary school where I was,
if one of the girls were naughty and I wasn't
naughty one day and they made me go two handed
round three classrooms on my hand and handstands as punishment
for being.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Smart, seems a bit twisted, doesn't it.

Speaker 15 (55:12):
It does anyway?

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Were you got on your hands? I was, yes, just
as well, isn't it? Yes? Goodness twisted surely? Thank you Bill?
Ats Marcus, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 6 (55:28):
How are you good?

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Thank you Bill.

Speaker 29 (55:30):
Before we're going further, I think that Ley from Ruatanka
it was.

Speaker 19 (55:34):
Very rude, wasn't she.

Speaker 29 (55:35):
I mean what rmataka yea through Yeah, I thought she
was a rude was the way she was explaining things?

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Well, well you know, I mean she she was? Was
she she was seen to be a force of nature
that sometimes you need for those voluntary things. But I
always thought, if you're going to run a church stoll
with gams and cakes, it would be it would be
going to to Africa, the wells and.

Speaker 8 (56:05):
Stuff, not for but it was for herself.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Yeah, that sounds sketchy to me.

Speaker 29 (56:11):
It's very sketchy to me as well, you know. And
what was your name for a while anyways.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Carol the cracker Pecker, Carol cracker Packer.

Speaker 29 (56:20):
Yeah, we go, okay, well we should write about that,
my man, it will go close to there.

Speaker 21 (56:25):
You know.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
That's sound like a you said, like a loose unit bill.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Oh no, not all men?

Speaker 1 (56:31):
What's your big story? Where are you?

Speaker 29 (56:34):
I'm bathed in? Oklad?

Speaker 1 (56:36):
I thought you might have been. Yeah, that was often going.
What are they minding about up there at the moment?

Speaker 29 (56:42):
Well, the first and foremost, I just like to talk
about the teachers and whatnot. You see. Now, I'm I
was born in west Auckland, raising breed, you see, And
I'm on triple A margus triple A.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
What's triple A?

Speaker 29 (56:57):
Primary? Primary and media and no cause? Em my man?

Speaker 19 (57:06):
How is he I am?

Speaker 29 (57:09):
Yes?

Speaker 21 (57:10):
You know?

Speaker 29 (57:10):
And like I say, I know the ins and outs
of our teachers.

Speaker 8 (57:16):
Operate Royalty, Oh absolutely.

Speaker 29 (57:19):
Mo boo and but nethereless women. What I'm getting at
here is that with every stage of school of Benan
right Evna Primary, there was always one slightly psychotic teacher.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Yeah, that'd be right. That seems to me.

Speaker 29 (57:36):
Media's always some psycholic teacher. M college that've just called
psych psychosis went off the radio, right, there is he?
Now I can name every one of them. Vandel Primary
was Miss Rushton.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
I don't want to hear the names of the psychotic
teachers were talking about anyway. We're talking about teachers that
went beyond the call of duty, like gave you money
for the major sandwich or gave your left there's mister Wellie.

Speaker 29 (58:01):
That's what I'm saying for every opposite mister well What
do you do?

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Whaley?

Speaker 29 (58:06):
Oh he was their form teacher. You know how those
things he structured. I don't know what they used to
do these.

Speaker 13 (58:12):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (58:12):
That was so special?

Speaker 6 (58:14):
Oh?

Speaker 29 (58:14):
He was just so cool, you know, he would always
encourage everything and listening. There was some always some person
in the classroom that was slogan audible that mister Way
would always, you know, just to make sure that he
was more included.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Yeah, heod your bell. Nice to hear from me. Thank you,
here's a nice one, Marcus. I went to Waikii pribably
stool in the mid sixties in Vericrgol had a social
studies teacher, mister Christy. He played a record one session
by Neil Diamond Jonathon Livingston Seagull. If a teacher comes
along and plays Jonathan Vincent Seagull, that's beyond the call
of Duty. That's one of the great concept albums of
all time. Marcus, just a query. Has anyone else noticed

(58:55):
that the last thy Loto draws, whatever the powerball number is,
it's already dropped in the first draw of the seven
numbers drawn. Oh wow, someone, they might say, there might
be a glitch in the matrix with the Marcus. Is
it to be not as boards. I've run a number
of events for schools and charities and email details to

(59:16):
the address on the website and their voicemails, but not
once anyone follow up or actually broadcast that is what
a hear? Are you from number ending in fifty three,
because I'll follow that up twenty three to ten, just
after ten sent of origin. I will give you updates
on that if you don't get to watch that. The
number is eight hundred and eighty. To Aaron Marcus, welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 30 (59:35):
Yeah you know, Marcus, I've got a not very exciting
teacher story, but it's still a story. So I was
a school in Christategical Bromly Primary, and I wasn't very
very popular with most teachers, well pretty much all.

Speaker 10 (59:51):
Of them, to be for you.

Speaker 30 (59:53):
Just ask one of those kids.

Speaker 12 (59:56):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (59:57):
What was it erin?

Speaker 30 (59:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 30 (01:00:01):
I just possibly had some behavioral issues too much to
say for myself, all of that kind of thing. And
so I was actually the most straped kid in the
school one year. I had the record seven times in
one year. Yeah, yeah, not break but it's one of
those things.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
But were they were they just against you? Were you
the last of a number of kids from your family?
Were they just to get I think sometimes schools just
had resentments against families.

Speaker 30 (01:00:29):
I've got this other theory that there's particular people that always.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
I was.

Speaker 30 (01:00:36):
I certainly wasn't the one picked on by teachers. I
just wasn't liked by teachers. But there are certain kids
that every teacher really went after them, you know, like
when people get bullied and and that kind. And it
doesn't matter where that kid goes. They can change schools,
they still get it for something. There's just they've got
to target on them.

Speaker 9 (01:00:55):
Some people.

Speaker 30 (01:00:56):
I wasn't one of them, not complaining and not complaining
about the strap either because it probably kept me out
of jail or or out of the cemetery, if you
know what I mean. Boundaries. But anyway, teachers didn't really
like me. And we had this mumo at school one time,
and I got all excited because my school was pretty
much half brown. It was very multicultural, lots of different

(01:01:17):
islands and stuff here. It was great and we had
no members Simon on honey and all this fantastic food,
and I was absolutely loving it. And there's a teacher
who was never my teacher but from another class, Miss
souper Wunga, and she saw how excited I got by
all this and that, and not much later she's smile.
And of course we went on a school camp and

(01:01:38):
I was talking to her. We were doing I went
to help the dishes into us and the dishes and
I was and I was relaxed. I was on school
camp and just putting out my own personality and that
and she was really nice to me, and she said
that you should go to smile one day and that
I really love you there. And it was the best
thing any teacher ever said to me in all my

(01:01:59):
years at school, and that that one line gave me
the confidence right throughout much oldhood just just to have
one teacher really like you and just say and just
say something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
You could just you dwell on that. You're right, you think,
well I will do that.

Speaker 30 (01:02:17):
Yeah, And and and I'll be walking home from school
Sundays and and you might be a bit bummed out
and it'll be raining or whatever. You just think about
that line one teacher set to you one day. Yeah,
And so that was awful. So, I mean, you miss
was there when played for Otaga.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
I thought I wanted related and they're bound to be,
are they? Can I say that? I suppose I could?
You think?

Speaker 31 (01:02:41):
So?

Speaker 13 (01:02:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Hopefully, And you know, you know I'm going to ask
that because it's another one I have sessions. Where was
the school camp? Was it up there at the Covert
and Forest or was it in Banks Peninsula?

Speaker 20 (01:02:54):
No?

Speaker 30 (01:02:54):
White White for so the white for boys forgate Camp,
a lot of schools by the White par Where the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
Cult?

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Where are the Cooper Right the Coop Rights? Where weren't
they something?

Speaker 30 (01:03:07):
Yep, yeah, they are only a few hundred meters away.
They were there these as well.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Really well, the Cooper Rights? They were were they? And
they had sort of a.

Speaker 30 (01:03:15):
Big that you could set it from State Highway one.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
It was like, yeah you can. Didn't they get caught
with firearms or something?

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (01:03:23):
Yeah, they have plenty of guns. So it was like
awaycot Dexas that Yeah, it was a yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was so. And they were all into that kind
of stuff that you know, one day they might might
have to rise up. So luckily they never did.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Did you go to Samoa?

Speaker 30 (01:03:39):
They haven't been there.

Speaker 7 (01:03:40):
I didn't really need.

Speaker 30 (01:03:41):
I got lots of smile friends, some a couple of
my best friends growing up, and that as some moon.
So I've spent a lot of time around small culture.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Yeah, okay, And I thought that was the I thought
that was the kicker that you'd gone vera nice to talk.
Thank you so much about seventeen to ten, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty they said to say one thing, Marcus,
the church hires out stalls. She's a stall holder on
a church room of her profit is hers. Doesn't sound
like that. I've applied to the communit notice board for

(01:04:12):
my community choir concert four times the last two years. Wow, well, okay,
let's I've got a lot of love for community notices
because I wanted to place one the other day and
I wasn't sure how to do it. I wasn't sure
how I could ring. So I went on the website,
and you go to the website. So let's get that
up and running. Come into that. Do do do do

(01:04:34):
do do do now. I don't know, tig what you
freaked out about by them, by the bulls in the
powerball draw. Remember the bulls don't have any memory. It's random.
I'm big on randomness. Wond if she's making Ladysmith cake.
I'll tell you what that Ladysmith cake. Don't knock that
out of all the cakes I made this week. In

(01:04:55):
Banana cake upside down caramel banana cake, the kids like
the look of that, or the Lady Smith Cake. The
Lady Smith Cake is the pick of them. It's delicious.
This is a cake that's selling. It breaks the end
of a seizure in the Boer War. How surprising is that?
But it's a delicious cake. Fifteen to ten here till twelve.

(01:05:17):
Breaking news. We've got a quake. Lip I'm onto it people,
So there's a quake. Let me just let you know
what I've god. If you have felt it, let us
text it through. Two minutes ago. It's a four. It's
quite big and not that shallow. It's been widely felt.
Was it nine forty four? It's just two minutes ago.
It's a four point one. Ten k's east of the tron. Wow.
So it's been felt widely. Someone's felt it in christ Church,

(01:05:39):
Someone's felt it in Auckland, Someone's felt it in Glenorchy.
That's the shaking map. This is the quake. This is
just a breaking story. I'll bring in more details. In fact,
the system still it is so new, the system's still
processing it. So I'll tell you what people felt. If
you felt it, let me know the felt report. Two
called it extreme, six called it light, twenty three called

(01:06:00):
it week. I'm just going to the map to see
exactly where it was people, So I can tell you this,
tell you the deets. Yeah, it wouldn't get earth. I
think that's quite unusual for an earthquake to be that
far north. It feels like the epi of it. The
epicenter is near a town called Eureka. Now I might
have got that wrong with my instructions because I'm new
to pushing these buttons. Ten k's east of Hamilton, So

(01:06:22):
I'm on the map trying to work out exactly where
it was. Yeah, it looks like it's Yeah, it looks
like it's on the way to Mournsville. Is the epicenter
of it. But you might have more information about that.
Let me know. But if you felt that quake, get
in touch with us. It's only just happened. Marcus Missus Upperneva, Antipas,
was the most amazing teacher for a new internet phraser
Crescent School Upper Hut. My little brother's left hand and

(01:06:44):
was punished by the nuns of the local Catholic school,
and his left hand was often tied to his chair
to stop him using it. He went from being scared
upset every morning to wepsic loving school and he changed
schools the following term. Brilliant. I love to tie kids
hand to a chair, don't they teach us. I never
saw it, to be fair. I always thought it was
a myth, but apparently not. Get in touch with you
on talk. Just let you know there has been an

(01:07:05):
earthquake of four just off from Hamilton. Brent. It's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome. Oh sorry, we'll come. I'll come
back to you. That quake seems to be a ghost quake,
so it seems to be a misreported so they've canceled
that one, so don't panic, Brent. It's Marcus. Thanks for
hanging on there. Good evening, that's right.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
How are you Markan?

Speaker 23 (01:07:24):
Good?

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
Rent? Real good good.

Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
Now you guys are talking about teachers tonight. Yes, yeah,
we've got a story which sort of set me off
on the past in the career. I've got now right,
but I'll give you a we prelude to it. During
the Blitz in London nineteen forty, London was hit fifty
seven times by the Germans.

Speaker 13 (01:07:47):
It's okay.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
When I was a kid in intermediate school, this was
a long time ago, and fifty seven we had this
lovely teacher. She was really nice, very kind, very good
at teaching. But every Monday at twelve o'clock, the local

(01:08:09):
civil defense sign would go off. I think it might
have been for testing or you know, so that was
a regular thing every Monday. Well, when that happened, she
would sit on a desk with a fit on the
chair and put her hands over her ears. And we
were only you know, we were on intermedia school kids.
We didn't know what this was. And so one day
one of us asked, you know, why she did that,

(01:08:31):
and in a very careful way, she said to us,
when another week girl. She didn't say, were ad, but
she said, well, just a week girl. We had to
leave our homes really fast and go underground because people
were dropping bombs on us. And we had to do
it every night, you know, imagined as a week kid.
She know, like fifty seven days is a lot, but
she was, you know, every night, you know, was what

(01:08:53):
she said. And so and she would describe she was
describing to us living in London during the Blitz. Now
after that, each time it happened, a few of us
would stand up, and you know a few of us
would go and stand around her. And as soon as
the civil defense sign when you know, as soon as
it ended, it was back to teaching, or probably close

(01:09:14):
to lunch, by then, but that was one of the
you know that was she did, she said, she explained
it really well, us being little kids, but it's sparked
my curiosity and it's one of the two things that
lead me into the career have gone.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Now I'm just trying to am I should I guess
what your career is now? Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:09:34):
I work in museums.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Oh okay, Yeah, so you got inspired from history, not
from a civil defense point of view, is that right?

Speaker 5 (01:09:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Sorry, yeah, I just tried to say, but yeah, and
you guys standing up around him to show solidarity and
support for her, I guess, which is quite a touching
thing to do as a ten year old, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:53):
Yeah, Well, we're only you know, you are only young,
but we really like this teacher. But it was really interesting,
you know. So that was one of the two history
things at the same age that set me off really
thinking about path in history, which I been in to museums.
But yeah, no, she the way she told the story
was very appropriate, but it was really interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:12:53):
So you touched back on the old Ladysmith's cake there
just before, And it occurred to me the Siege of Ladysmith,
that it lasted four months and they came up with
a cake. And perhaps this time now that the strait
of a moose Moose episodes gone about four.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
Months, like a like a hor Moves slice or something.

Speaker 6 (01:13:16):
Yeah, yes, somebody, there's room for somebody who's come up
with a something creative. Uh they take that name on
at something etic preps.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Well that I mean, do buy chocolate. For a while
back was all the rage with pistachio nuts. So if
you could kind of do an homage to that with something.

Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
Couldn't you or preps something with a number of dates.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Yes, you put dates, you said you put dates in there.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
What else? What other taste sensations were? What about like
pomegranate juice or something like that of the area?

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Is it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
Possibly?

Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
Possibly? I am not too sure on the pomegranates. Yeah,
my neighbor was trying to grow over a while ago
with For a while.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
There, everyone was putting pomegranate oil onto everything. It was
all like it was, you know, around the fruit on belt,
that's what everyone was doing.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
Yeah, And I just reflected before I I don't have
as one that fun the fun fact thing. I certainly
didn't have a third nipple, but I did. I did
have a chicken, a chicken fox card. That's sort of
I could have probably.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Wow, wow, were you're young when you got it?

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
Yeah, I must have scratched.

Speaker 1 (01:14:28):
It, scratch and scratch and scratch.

Speaker 6 (01:14:32):
But it does come back if you've got the old.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Shingles.

Speaker 6 (01:14:37):
Yeah, jingles. Yeah, that really got active when I got
shingles some years back.

Speaker 32 (01:14:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Oh you feel it in your old spots.

Speaker 6 (01:14:45):
Yeah, yeah, that's where we're services. You know. It was
really Storgan.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Yeah, oh wow, but.

Speaker 6 (01:14:54):
It was interesting, good guy saying that he couldn't get
into the cover hacker.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
Oh that was heartbreaking, Lauria. You can't laugh at that
because you imagine the tragedy's apparent thing. I've got this
kid who's going to get a hassle if it I
don't know, ha kapa hack. If you're just going to
get as because he's got a third nipple, what would
you do as a parent?

Speaker 6 (01:15:11):
I don't know, Maybe stick a band aid over it.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
And tell you, well, what would you do? Yeah, because
you're too sucky to you know, that's a no one.
I mean from from a parenting point of view, that
would to me, that would be heartbreaking.

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
It sounded like he didn't really want to be in
capa hacker anyway, of course, So I mean, he wasn't
even suggesting that who was the head of four?

Speaker 4 (01:15:35):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Did you have a teacher that changed your life?

Speaker 6 (01:15:41):
Lurrie, Not really. No, I had someone who's indicated when
I was about to turn fifteen that they'd rather see
the end of me. So I yeah, I did leave.
I didn't make it to fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
At school, basically, I think a lot of teachers by
the time we got to them, Laurie, they'd lost their
sense of humor, hadn't they They're kind of patients, had warmth,
and I think that's my kind of gut feeling with it.

Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
Yeah, yeah, you worn out and yeah worn out, And.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
They probably should have done it for five years and
moved on. I had one teacher that subsequently went around
a lot of places and people asked them if I
and said, what a terrible, terrible people I was. I
wasn't even in this class.

Speaker 6 (01:16:20):
Okay, he wasn't the one that took you to the
swimming lessons.

Speaker 1 (01:16:28):
And divulge that, Laurie. I'm going to move on, but
thank you. She has twelve past ten of state of
origin has started. I think this is in Melbournia, So
there we go. I don't know what the tab's got
of that. We are talking teaching the teachers that changed
your life, but maybe in a kind of an unconventional way.

(01:16:51):
I don't know what they might have done to you.
Took you to a dire Straits concert or something opened
your world, to open your eyes to a different world.
Maybe stuff that's frowned upon now or maybe not. It's
hard to mention teach about people to getting hit. Marcus,
we're the best teacher. Saint Patrick's call Bernie. We marched
every morning before school, won the Catholic Cup for three years.

(01:17:13):
Sister had one glass eye from nibs thrown out the
door when she was out. What what are nibs that
be throwing at ye? Strong start from Queensland. I see
that KFC have changed the logo. Are anyone interesting that
Jane ats Marcus? Good evening?

Speaker 5 (01:17:35):
Hello?

Speaker 15 (01:17:36):
Is that you Marcus?

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Yes, Hi, Jane, Welcome.

Speaker 32 (01:17:39):
Dear, and we're talking about teachers. Yes, well, I can remember,
and don't I think the boy might even still be living.
When I was at school, I had a teacher and
I can still see the prayer. Is it a plan
that they used to have the children in?

Speaker 7 (01:18:00):
Yep?

Speaker 32 (01:18:02):
And his name was Rick? Rick Fisher was his name?

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
What do you mean fram.

Speaker 26 (01:18:08):
A prayer?

Speaker 32 (01:18:09):
It's a prayer? Is what they used to push them in?

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
Like a baby.

Speaker 32 (01:18:14):
Yeah, when the when the baby and that child he'd
be him, Oh god, he'd probably be a grand parent himself.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Was he with the baby at school? In the prem.

Speaker 32 (01:18:26):
The mother was the mother, the mother's name was Gloria Fisher.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
Oh was she still a pupil. You might have to
un pick that one, Jane, but thank you. I can't
translate that, Trisha. It's Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 24 (01:18:40):
Evening, Marcus. I'm a bit nervous tonight. I'm not normal now, Marcus.
Years ago, I'm coming seventy six now. And when I
was in Formed one and two an intermediate, we had
this teacher, mister Casey, and his wife. She was a

(01:19:05):
teacher at now intermediate as well, and they were like
the dream couple. She was lovely blond lady and he
was a lovely young man, and honestly, the whole school
and just loved them. So moving forward, had a wonderful
two years in the same class with him. And when

(01:19:29):
I was it's about six years ago, I had this
inclination that I was going to go and visit him,
and so I did. He lived in a town not
too far from me. So I knocked on the door,
and his lovely wife, who still just looked an older,
beautiful version of who she was, she came to the

(01:19:52):
door and she looked at me and she was trying
to rack her brain who I was. So she said,
I just din't. Yeah, anyway, I told her who I was,
and she almost jumped down the sta at me and
she said, oh my gosh, Gary's just putting the jug on,
and she yelled out to him, Gary, come here. So

(01:20:15):
he came outside and he looked at me and he smiled,
and I told him how I was, and he just
about ate me. He said, come in, come in, Come in,
and I went inside. I only intended to be there
for perhaps twenty minutes half an hour, while two hours
later many for many photos, and it was amazing. And

(01:20:43):
he said to me, when I was leaving, we walked
out to his beautiful garden and he picked a camellia
off the tree and he gave it to me, and
he said, this has been one of the best days
of my life to have a pupil come find me
and spend time with me. He was old as well,

(01:21:05):
he was older than I, and he said he still
mentors pupils and people, and he said, I just can't
wait to tell them that I had someone from my
past come and find me. And it was extraordinary.

Speaker 18 (01:21:23):
Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:21:25):
One of my daughters said, Mum, you didn't, I said
I did. I did, and He wrote me a beautiful letter,
all in italics writing and thanked me and said lovely
things about me, and he sent me the photos we
had taken.

Speaker 1 (01:21:44):
Because you would think, with him and his wife being
such a remarkable couple at the time that a number
of people would be as moved as you. But he
hadn't had me visitors. Is that what you're telling me? Yes, well,
he was surprised by that I'd moved. Of course.

Speaker 24 (01:21:59):
He went on after that to be a headmaster at
a smaller school. They were very young at the time,
you know, they would have been in their twenties and
I would have been not eleven or twelve. So yeah,

(01:22:20):
it was an amazing day they were.

Speaker 1 (01:22:23):
And they remembered you obviously, Oh yes they did, and
were you? Were you memorable?

Speaker 24 (01:22:30):
I was an average student, but I never caused any
strife or anything, you know, And yes he did, he did.
And we talked about pupils in our school, and he
had followed a couple. One of them had become a
VET and some others had been I didn't really amount

(01:22:52):
to much, to be fair, but well, you know what
I mean. I've raised four lovely children, so that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Yeah, that sounds like you managed quite a lot to me,
but you know, you know i'd say that, but anyway, yes.

Speaker 24 (01:23:06):
No, but there are a lot of very very good
students in the class. But they were big class of
Marcus and never any problems. You know, they'd be over
thirty in the class and he managed everything. They were
very well liked and people still talk about them today.

Speaker 13 (01:23:28):
We want to share.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
That's a beautiful story, Atrician beautifully told. Thank you so
much that I've loved it. Six to two New South
Wales over Queensland. Ten minutes gone. Here's till midnight, twenty
three past ten, good evening short, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 28 (01:23:43):
Yes, took the stories about kids and teachers. This is
going back about thirty years now, and we had a headmaster.
It was started talking one day about General Fiberg and
I piped up and I said, I know, I've seen him.
I stood next to him and we argued that was

(01:24:04):
in Ford's that he was fighting a war in in Africa,
and I was equally adamant that he was in Wanganui.
And I went home that night asked mum. She checked
out with the Wanganui Chronicle and the paper printed a
little story for the benefit of a certain head master.
General Pridberg was in Wanganui on the tenth of May

(01:24:24):
nineteen forty five. He spoke from the steps in front
of the library, the people of Wanganui And anyway, that
night I had to clean the sweet before because in
those days we did all the janitor work. And I
walked home because I missed the bus, and it's the
headmaster that drove the bus. And as long as I live,

(01:24:46):
he did that deliberately, but we got our back back
on him. He didn't like us playing marbles, so that
we plaid marbles. He had come and confiscate them. So
in the finish we went over in the far corner
of the playing field underneath her market carpentry and played
marbles with Mark Carver MutS until he got so you're

(01:25:06):
coming over to confiscate market carp and nuts. You can't
be kids.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
Nope, you're right there.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
Why did you have to do the cleaning up?

Speaker 28 (01:25:17):
Well, in those days and there was a different system.
There were no such thing as school janitors or anything
like that. Kids were responsible for really cleaning the classrooms
and tidying and straightening desks and what have you. There
was just a different time and different system.

Speaker 1 (01:25:36):
Creepers, old school short like you, brilliant, the old marbles
with a macrocarpa. Here the midnight monaments. Marcus welcome. Oh wait,
one hundred and eighty today eighty janets, Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:25:46):
Is that me a talking to?

Speaker 1 (01:25:48):
Are you Jen?

Speaker 16 (01:25:49):
I didn't hear you say my name?

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
Is it Jen?

Speaker 21 (01:25:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:25:54):
Jen?

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
Have you got a fun fact about yourself? Have I
got what a fun fact?

Speaker 18 (01:25:59):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
Sometimes you're going to meetings these days, people as an
icebreaker say a fun fact about themselves. What would what
would your fun fact be? I never thought of one,
like some quirky thing, like a funny like a funny
middle name, or a or a funny bodily anomaly, or
something that's a bit of a conversation starter. Or twin

(01:26:20):
or are you a twin?

Speaker 21 (01:26:21):
Or are you.

Speaker 1 (01:26:23):
Born on a leap day? Or or you must have
some conversation start about your Jen? Can you juggle? Or
if you're in a yard glass?

Speaker 16 (01:26:34):
Or pretty ordinary?

Speaker 1 (01:26:37):
There must be one thing, Jen, I'll be said, if
there's not a fun fact about you, what would you say?
What would be a fun fact that no one would
would no one would know about you.

Speaker 16 (01:26:45):
I used to enjoy catching insects and looking at them
through the night Christmas.

Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
It's a fun fact.

Speaker 18 (01:26:51):
Well, okay, enjoyed.

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
Did you ever did you have a microscope or you
had Did you have your microscope?

Speaker 16 (01:26:59):
No, I've got one that dad brought one when we
were kids, and so I used to put things on
the slide and put it under and have a look. Yeah,
lots of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:27:11):
Always hard to get a focused as a kid, wasn't
You were saying, well, hang on, what's it? But you
didn't have the kind of the fine skills to get
and focus always though anyway, Yes.

Speaker 16 (01:27:21):
Yeah, I almost forgotten what I was going to talk
without teachers. Yeah, my teacher in Form one and two
had an affair with one of my class made Yeah,
and so he would arrange things for us as a
class to go to in the evening, like going to

(01:27:42):
Wellington to see some sort of show or movie or something.
And he'd always be holding her hand and they'd sit
up the back of the theater and I was always
watching them rather than watching any movie or anything. I'd
be very puzzled as to.

Speaker 13 (01:28:01):
What they were up to.

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
It quite it was quite overt in the open then,
wasn't it? And this a girl's right, Yeah, did you
tell an adult?

Speaker 16 (01:28:10):
I told my parents about it, and dad was furious,
but I don't think he did anything about it. He
did meet her parents, you know, later on, so they
might have mentioned something to them. But she ended up
getting pregnant to him and went to teacher's training college.

(01:28:30):
I think she was infatuated with him and couldn't say no.
She had the same haircut as him, or the same
shoes as him, that everything sort of how he did it.
And I was pretty obvious that she got top of
the class and always passed any tests.

Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
Did just I in touch to know that she had
gone to teacher's college.

Speaker 16 (01:28:53):
Yeah, I met her when I was working on Wayhiki Island.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
It's a fun fact about you. What we're doing on Wahiki.
I won't say, wow, not driving the bus, but anyway,
what would you what would you be on island that
you couldn't say we were the police?

Speaker 16 (01:29:13):
No, No, just something I don't talk about anymore. It
was a horrific experience.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Okay, sorry, I didn't want to push. Okay, did she
keep the did she keep the child?

Speaker 18 (01:29:25):
Yep?

Speaker 16 (01:29:26):
And I ended up renting a cottage that she bought
for the child when she was grown up, of course,
and she died of I think luke as the child
and the teacher also died of a brain tunor.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
Her mom told me, and I thought that, and he
was not to try and find out who the father
was to prosecute him.

Speaker 16 (01:29:51):
I don't know about any of that, but it was
quite shocking at the time, and I ended up standing
up to him when I was his pupil because I
just thought what he was doing was wrong. And I
stood up to him a few years and he didn't
really know.

Speaker 18 (01:30:10):
What to do.

Speaker 7 (01:30:12):
How long will?

Speaker 1 (01:30:14):
Just before I go to headlines, Jen, how were you long?
We're on waihiki for?

Speaker 16 (01:30:17):
Oh that's three years?

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
Wow? Okay gee? A lot to one picked from that, Jen,
Thanks so much. By the way, the cricket match has
been delayed by a wet outfield, of course it has
eight one hundred and eighty Teddy nine de text do
get in touch, good stuff. Thanks Joey twenty nine away
from eleven stat of origin New South Wales six Queensland,
oh Mark nowa kaawasi will he didn't score the try?

(01:30:43):
Who he put it too off to Arthur. I think
it was, but or was it Staggs? Always get Staggs
and Arthur confused. But anyway, I'll bring up those details
for you. But it's been a fairly good match so far.
It's spirited. If that's what you need to know.

Speaker 9 (01:31:00):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:31:00):
You'll be over to look and tell you exactly what
happened there. It was Katuti Staggs.

Speaker 19 (01:31:04):
Was it yere?

Speaker 2 (01:31:05):
But yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Is Knaka Nowazi? That the extraordinary pass around the corner
pass But it seems like the momentums go in the
blues way. Clearly got a pen or clearly got the
conversion also, and Sam Walker has kicked for the Marines.
I'm not quite sure what that original penalty was for Glennis.
This is Marcus. Good evening, Hello Marcus, how are you

(01:31:27):
really good? Thank you? Glennis?

Speaker 25 (01:31:28):
Oh that's good. I just rang up on the naughty
trials from the past. When I was in primary school,
I used to get the ruler because I was left handed.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
Oh yeah, well you should have known better. I'm jogging.

Speaker 25 (01:31:52):
Every time I write left handed, they would give me
the ruler and so you need to change to the
right handed. I never ever did. I got the ruler
so many times, and.

Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
Where they hit you on the hand, Yes, not on
the leg, that's bad. That's least twisted than on the hand,
because you're writing with a hand, so you hit the hand.
Of course, I guess that's teacher's psychology.

Speaker 25 (01:32:17):
Yeah, I don't think they would do that now. But
never made me a right hander. I was always a
left hander.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
It seems bizarre now, doesn't it.

Speaker 25 (01:32:31):
It's really does.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
Yeah, well I've got a left handed boy. They do
have challenges with you still have challenges writing left handed,
don't you. It's not straight. You know that, don't you? Okay,
he does? Oh well, I think I don't think your
writing is ever quite as you know, it's it's a
more complicated motion.

Speaker 25 (01:32:48):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:32:51):
And these days, of course, with keyboards and stuff, there's
not the demand for handwriting, so you've got that kind
of you know, but everyone should be able to write legibly,
shouldn't they.

Speaker 24 (01:32:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:32:59):
Yeah, but no, I find that when I look back
on that, I think, oh, that was pretty harsh.

Speaker 1 (01:33:06):
Really harsh, and we were looking for a more positive note.
I mean, it seems to have taken a bit of
a turn with Jan's teacher and the likes, I mean
lot did. It sounded like a It sounded like a
Igrall and Post short story.

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
Act.

Speaker 1 (01:33:17):
She was more like a It was more like a
Hemingway short story I think called Jens James. It's Marcus
good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:33:26):
Goody, how are you good?

Speaker 1 (01:33:27):
Thank you? James?

Speaker 2 (01:33:28):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:33:29):
Story.

Speaker 18 (01:33:31):
I had a teacher. It was a bit of an
unorthodox little lesson that they say teachers, you know, the
example is the biggest teacher. And he I came to
I was about six or seven, and I came to
him crying. I thought that some other teacher had treated
me really cruelly, said something a bit harsh. And he said,

(01:33:53):
oh James, what's matter? And I said, oh, missus Johnson
said you know something. And as soon as I said
missus Johnson, he said.

Speaker 16 (01:34:03):
Who who Missus Johnson?

Speaker 18 (01:34:05):
And he said, oh, Sis Johnson. And I thought, and
it just changed my whole frame of mind. And he
didn't he didn't want to console me. It was just
it meant nothing because.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
It was John exactly right thing to say, is it?

Speaker 15 (01:34:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:34:21):
And I thought straight away, I thought, oh, criticism is
relative as to where it's coming from. And so it's
a big lesson like even amongst teachers. I mean, I
think these days you don't get teatures maybe quite as cruel,
but you also don't get the gems that teach these
unorthodox everything so sterilized.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
So you know, but that was a lesson, you know, yeah,
it's quite it's quite a powerful one too. Was it
that just such a such an easy thing, and just
to fuse something like that.

Speaker 18 (01:34:50):
Yeah, he just dismissed it, and he thought, well, even
I thought, even amongst teachers, that it's relative as to
who you know, whether you give something too much credited
or not.

Speaker 1 (01:35:01):
Because I'm sure the teachers themselves are having personality fall
outs and feuds with each other, aren't they. I mean,
I think I think teacher, I think schools are hot beeds.

Speaker 10 (01:35:10):
Yeah, but you're not supposed to show tod You're supposed
to be.

Speaker 18 (01:35:12):
A united front and you know, no one, no one's
that good. That was a great lesson. He was a
great teacher year in many other ways as well.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
Nice Tory James, thanks for that. Twenty five to eleven
update on the state of origin. Mark Noah Trowasi has
gone over now so it's two tries twelve for New
South Wales. Both Kip Queensland too. They've got the momentum
a bit of a tear. It seems to be Cleary
and Mark no Tuasi are running the cutter. I don't
know if that's an expression I've used correctly, but we're

(01:35:43):
talking teachers and the very very good things that teachers
have done. Unorthodox but good do to do Hittle twelve obviously,
Oh Marcus Sue and christ Church here. I grew up

(01:36:07):
in Nelson. At nineteen seventy two and age six, I
had my first and last favorite teacher, Mister Warboys, was
at Tahuna Nui Primary School. But on my first hour
shock when I saw him. He had long hair in
a big, bushy long bed. I was scared of him.
I went home crying. My father spoke the principal, asked
I get to another class. The principal told him I
nearly cried when I saw him too. But he's really good,

(01:36:28):
and he was. He was in a band called the Bullstar,
the Bulldog's All Star good time band that I hit
with miss September. He'd play guitar and class sing would
get us sitting in a circle on the floor, passing
a jar around to give it a shake, turning milk
into butter. We loved seeing it get thicker and thicker.
Was just a different attitude to life. Sadly he left
at the end of the year to pursue his music passion.

(01:36:50):
Never forgot him. Cheers Sue and christ Church. Nice story,
nice song, Remember miss September Well brilliant. Twenty three to
eleven evening, K, This is Marcus. Welcome, Hi, K evening. K.
Who it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:37:08):
Oh, hella, Marcus, It's okay here. I'm eighty now. And
when I started school, I went to Hamilton Eese School
in Hamilton, and all my years at Hamilton Eese School,
I had the same bunch of children in my class,
so all the photos, same children were in it, and

(01:37:32):
some years somebody would drop out, but another one would
come in. And then we went to intermediate and we
had there was this most fabulous male teacher there and
I didn't have him in the standard five. I had
him in Standard six and he was a really, really

(01:37:55):
nice guy and everybody just loved him, the boys in particular.
And after we left school, how you do and go
on to different schools and things. One day, well, a
few years ago, the boys got in touch and they
decided to have a family a school reunion, class reunion

(01:38:20):
from all of us kids, and that's what we did,
and we got this male teacher. The thing was you
had to either be in this group from Hamilton East
School or you had to have been in this male
teacher's class for one or two years at Peachgrove Intermediate.

(01:38:40):
And we had the most fabulous reunions. And he came
to everyone, he bought his wife and the boys, and
the boys over the years told us how they'd come
to be in his class. You know, some of them
had divorced parents, or they'd been a little bit naw

(01:39:01):
toy or whatever, so they went into this teachers class
and we had the most fabulous reunions. Are there? Sorry sorry?
And his wife used to come and he used to

(01:39:22):
get such a kick.

Speaker 1 (01:39:23):
Out of it.

Speaker 20 (01:39:24):
And these boys, who they weren't really naughty boys, but
you know, they were typical boys. And some of these
boys he'd had for two years with him, and they
would rattle off and I can't remember the name of
the poems, but one of those it wasn't the one

(01:39:46):
about the I think that Australian poet who wrote all
those horse poems in.

Speaker 1 (01:39:53):
The snowy river.

Speaker 20 (01:39:56):
Yeah, one of those light brigade ones, and they could
do it, were perfect, and it went on and on
and on and on, and these boys for all joining in,
and the teachers joining in. The girls will be standing
near open mouth listening to these guys because it was
over forty years years since.

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
So done at school sounds fantastic. Kay, thank you so
much for coming. I'm just going to go because I've
got some news from Ken. I don't want to keep
them going on for too long. Can you got some
news have you? What can you tell me?

Speaker 5 (01:40:26):
Ken?

Speaker 33 (01:40:28):
Well, I wouldn't say it's news. I ran to see
if you've heard anything about State Highway one south of
Within being closed and asocial producer. He said, you've already
spoken about it. But I'm in a bit of strife
maker because I'm driving home. I live at Manka, which
is halfway between living and Old Tachi, and I've got

(01:40:50):
where i am now at South Suxton. I should be
twenty minutes from home or maybe twenty five. And Google
Maps is offering me a three hundred and fifty kilometers
a detour which is going to take three and a
half hours, So I'm pretty distressed about that. I just
wondered if you had heard how long that road's going

(01:41:12):
to be closed, Because it's a couple of hours. I'm
probably better after just packing it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:17):
So I say, yeah, no, no, I can. I can
understand your situation. Are you north? Are you north of
the power lines down or south of the power lines down?

Speaker 2 (01:41:26):
I'm north of it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:27):
Okay, So due to power lines down, the route road
has now closed. T happen at nine thirty five. So look, yeah,
can you go across the beach?

Speaker 28 (01:41:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:41:41):
No, isn't there a isn't there a isn't there a bridge?
Stay with me, yeah, isn't there a bridge off mo
Hunoa Road west.

Speaker 33 (01:41:54):
South of Living.

Speaker 1 (01:41:58):
If you tune off right?

Speaker 23 (01:42:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:42:00):
Let me bring up Google Maps. So I've got this.
I think there's another one. I think there's another road that.

Speaker 7 (01:42:09):
Just be with me.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
I'm just opening maps. I can see if it's a
dirt track or I think if you go on Cuckoo
Beach Road No, sorry, Dan, So it's no.

Speaker 17 (01:42:22):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:42:24):
If you go if you go down Mohunoa West Road, right, yeah,
and then there's a road off that, but I'm not
quite sure if it's a private road, but it doesn't
appear to me. There bears to be a road that
goes right across the river.

Speaker 23 (01:42:47):
Yeah, or Cuckoo.

Speaker 1 (01:42:55):
That might be a private farm road because I can
see a tractor on it, but it doesn't. Yeah, it
might be a private farm. Sorry, I might have given
you it might be a giant dairy farm. So where
they are saying due to power lines? Roads, a state
high one Cuckoo near Cuckoo East Road and intersection.

Speaker 34 (01:43:14):
Yeah, it's about two clock. I go two kilometers pat
there it down to get home and Google Map is
offering the attacktive.

Speaker 33 (01:43:28):
It's the detour of three and a half hundred kilometers
which you take three and a half hours.

Speaker 1 (01:43:34):
Have you gone up to see where have you been stopped?
Have you got up to see where where the diversion is?

Speaker 9 (01:43:39):
No, I'm I'm.

Speaker 34 (01:43:42):
Going south from Poston and I'm about five minutes from.

Speaker 7 (01:43:46):
The ben.

Speaker 10 (01:43:49):
Okay and then I normally stop in the.

Speaker 34 (01:43:52):
Bin, pick up a coffee or something, and then drive
home ten minutes from the bed.

Speaker 1 (01:43:59):
I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't got
a diversion around it, because there seems to be some
farm roads they could of center around. Just don't know
about that would be my That would be my take
on that, just looking at it from the from Yeah,
I'll see if for you, I could text to keep

(01:44:19):
listening anyway and we'll see what I can find out.
But it's say fact, if you've got some information, let
us know again, okay, appreciate it. If anyone's got no
more information about a diversion, let us know. Yeah, Chris,
it's Marcus. See good evening here.

Speaker 23 (01:44:34):
Hi, Chris, it's market, your market. I'm Chris. Hey. That
road closure, I was stuck in it, ride it outside
the Pakoo Marai. I've just opened the road now, so
all typic is going north and alltpic is going south,
so it's all open.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
Rough weather for the for the power lines to come down,
or just an accident, yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:44:56):
I don't know. There wasn't any evidence of any accident
at all.

Speaker 10 (01:45:00):
And I couldn't see any power.

Speaker 23 (01:45:01):
Lines down as well. But I've just come straight through.
I'm just getting into in a cown now, so that's right. Hey,
I'm just to give you the heads up. You were
looking at that road down Cuckoo Beach Road, that little
that little bridge down at the southern end of the
Ohaa River that is on on on a private farm,

(01:45:22):
sod open to the general public.

Speaker 1 (01:45:26):
It is a bad weather. Is it a storm? Criss
or is it? Is it bad weather?

Speaker 20 (01:45:31):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:45:31):
But absolutely beautiful. There's no there's no ray. That's it's
quite pleasant here at the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:45:37):
Okay, please, I've said that guy thrown a KD to
a crystal. You'd say, and thank you, Steve. It's Marcus.
Good evening, you get Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:45:43):
How are you doing. I'm just just ringing because I
had a really good English teacher when I went to
Saint Ken's back in the nineties, and he he's sort
of a woken you know, the I had a fondness
for writing and stuff like that. And here he introduced

(01:46:05):
us all to ernest him away and I can remember
him reading for him. The bell tolls and it's just no,
he's really cool. It was a bit of a loaner himself,
he was. It was a bit like Hemingway himself.

Speaker 1 (01:46:17):
So did you become a writer, Steve, No, No, I did.

Speaker 7 (01:46:21):
I did end up.

Speaker 27 (01:46:23):
Doing copywriting for advertising and stuff like that, and then
I went on to do you know, sort of like
short films and stuff like that. So keep from the
creative creative path.

Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
Brilliant. Nice to hear from you, Steve, Thank you, Don Worthellivan, Kathleen,
how are you good? Thank you?

Speaker 12 (01:46:44):
It's good.

Speaker 25 (01:46:45):
I want to tell you about my.

Speaker 12 (01:46:48):
Childho at the school. I started at the Catholic school
because of my parents were Catholics and I was. I
was still in school when I was five, but I
got sick. I got your mind, you and I was
sick for twelve months.

Speaker 1 (01:47:06):
Goodness.

Speaker 12 (01:47:08):
Yeah, so I didn't go back to school. That I
had people coming to the house and my doctor used
to come into the house every day. My parents lived
in the state house that my father kept the fire
going all the time. But no, I was very sick,
very very sick. So anyway, then I went to school.

(01:47:31):
I came right and I went to school and started
at the Catholic school again. And because I didn't know
some of these things that they were talking about, the
nun used to slit across the knuckles.

Speaker 4 (01:47:46):
Was a ruler.

Speaker 12 (01:47:49):
And then one day she was very very angry because
I didn't know something. She smit me across the face
and I thought, oh this, you know, sound right?

Speaker 10 (01:48:00):
A six year old.

Speaker 12 (01:48:02):
So I went home and told my mum and I
said to Mamo, was non non lent me across the
face today, and then said, don't tell lies, Kathleen, And
I got a hiding, well what we call a hiding,
and you don't, you're telling lies. And anyway, I was
lucky that the young boy across the road was in

(01:48:24):
my class at school, and he went went home and
told his num. Well, I just already had the hiding
of my life. And then God told her for telling life.
And anyway, ship the lady across the road bring none
and said about it. And I'm still in our apron

(01:48:46):
because they always wore apron in those days. Taxie down
and got one sister in order cap and look after us.
Taxie down to the school and had we taken out
straight away. So after that I went to the state school.
But yeah, that's where they were.

Speaker 1 (01:49:04):
It's a great story.

Speaker 17 (01:49:05):
Yeah what what what was it?

Speaker 1 (01:49:07):
What was the Catholic school, Kathleen.

Speaker 12 (01:49:10):
One graymouth? But no, I mean it's closed, and well
a lot of it's closed.

Speaker 1 (01:49:17):
Now do you remember the nun's name?

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
I do, sure, we did a.

Speaker 12 (01:49:21):
Long time ago. Yes, Sister stan Salors.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
Name sister who stan salors, how's it spelled? It's stant
it's t A N.

Speaker 12 (01:49:34):
I would say c A L yeah somehow and my
years so you know she wasn't very well like lady.
Their no, so they put me off school together.

Speaker 1 (01:49:49):
Goodness, yeah, really good on the neighbors kid knowing what's
right and what's wrong now.

Speaker 12 (01:49:58):
Exactly. Yeah. And you know mother come home after it
and she said, no, you're not going back to that school.
And she said, I'm so sorry for behinding. I gave
you and I've got a few treats after that.

Speaker 9 (01:50:11):
All brilliant.

Speaker 1 (01:50:14):
I was a great lesson about faith there. Thanks for that.
I went to a small two teachers school in Monga, Katamere,
and my teacher for a year eight was Bob Cunis
extus and cricket player, Black Caps coach and commentator as
Wat Jeanette. I'll tell you what from Marcus, I'm forty five,
but boy, can I bowl a cricket ball. My boys
were amazed. We brought up the cricket beet and Mum
could bowl him bat like that. When I was thirty,

(01:50:37):
I had a woodwork and tech drawing teacher called mister
Forster at Harden's Area School in North Canterbury. He would
give me a light tap on the shoulder about fifty
minutes before the end the class whisp, you can go now.
At first I was repuzzled, but then realized. Notice I
didn't make it back across the school grounds to my
locker until my classmates had almost finished their lunch. I

(01:50:58):
had Arthur ryders and walked slow with pain. I saw
him six years later and across at the Superman pit.

Speaker 21 (01:51:02):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (01:51:03):
He was lovely but sad to see me in a wheelchair.

Speaker 9 (01:51:05):
Deb.

Speaker 1 (01:51:06):
That's the story. I like that is lovely, Deb, thank you.
Back in the day there were many Irish nuns and
Catholic schools in Greymouth. They were tough and quick to
hit us. I was frightened of them. It was wonderful
when a key we none came to teach us. We
are talking teachers. It is think a teacher day. The
teacher did something special for you. You might want to
remember it, and I'd rather not hit you. I'd rather

(01:51:29):
it was not about them hitting. Yeah, I'll take anything
you know me. Oh wait, one hundred eighty ten eighty
or the things that you remember now about your teachers
all those years ago, and they might have said one
thing that set you on the right track or set
you on the wrong track. Halftime in the State of Origin.
I'll give you updates on that, but get in touch
if you want to. Marcus till twelve, Yes, be in touch.

(01:51:54):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine to nine two
de text hedtill twelve. Fairly good night from my point
of view, so fast, that's always positive. The English wags
have arrived in Dallas that have become the big story
for a while. The wags have lended it's wives and girlfriends.
For those that don't know. British media is obsessed with them.

(01:52:19):
There's trouble with the State of Origin broadcast, apparently, according
to the Daily Mail. I just want to think at
what people are up. I think they might have beaten
that one up a but don't see the post as
I go by the way they booed the referee because
he's had a gambling problem. What would you boo him?
Can't kind of work that out? Christ's Marcus good evening?

Speaker 10 (01:52:39):
Oh, hi and Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:52:40):
Just on the subject of old teachers. This is a
two part story, so they's have to bear with me.
I recall a primary school teacher taking our entire class
around to her house, which was very close to the school,
and it was my very first television experience. She took
us around the house to watch to watch the TV,

(01:53:02):
good honor, this would be well. I can tell you
when it was. Now was nineteen sixty five, and I
remember watching the TV and watching what was on it,
but didn't actually recall what it was, if you understand.
And now fast forward about thirty five years and I
moved back into the same neighborhood and I got a

(01:53:23):
phone call from her one day asking, because I lived
quite close to her house, if she could come down
and change a light bulb for her, because she was
probably at that stage in her seventies, i'd think. And
my daughter overheard it and said, oh, who's that, Dad.
I said, I, it's just my old teacher. I have
to go and change a light bulb. And she said, Dad,
that was you know, thirty five years ago. You don't

(01:53:44):
have to listen to her anymore. You know, she doesn't
give your instructions. But fast forward another fifteen or twenty
years after that, so we're now into the two thousands,
and I bumped into an old classmate, and we were
talking about this teacher and the walk to her house
to watch the TV. And I said, I've got no

(01:54:04):
idea what it was, and he said, well, I can
remember it was Winston Churchill's funeral. Oh back in those days. Here,
in those days, it wouldn't be live.

Speaker 1 (01:54:13):
There was one next question that would have flown it
out or something.

Speaker 11 (01:54:16):
Would they have yes, right, because you remember that. I
don't remember Vietnam War stories, but you got those five
days later. You didn't get them on the day. The
footage and the story didn't match because the foot the
story would be fresh and the footage would be five
days old. But I do remember watching that, watching the
TV and seeing a vessel on the River Thames. And

(01:54:37):
you can still google it today. You can see the bridge.
They opened the bridges as salute as the as Churchill's
barge went or with the coffin went down the River Thames.
So I have that memory clear in my head that
I was never really thought about what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:54:51):
You see, I've never heard anyone talk about that in
New Zealand and I've never been aware of that. Did
the whole class go to watch the whole funeral? Is
that what happened?

Speaker 11 (01:54:58):
Do you think, look a long time ago, Marcus, I remember.

Speaker 1 (01:55:02):
What year did he die?

Speaker 11 (01:55:04):
He died the sixty five.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
Okay, sure they'd be right.

Speaker 11 (01:55:08):
Yeah, so yeah, we walked around her house and the
out them and I still I lived close by. The
house is still there. I can't remember imagine how we
were got in the lounge, but I remember the image
of the of the bridge being opened in the Thames,
and just just never really twigged as to what the
event was that this chap, this chap fifty years on

(01:55:29):
said yea, well that was that was Churchill's funeral, So
I imagine.

Speaker 1 (01:55:32):
It wouldn't have made great TV for a five year
old image. It would have been a real long and
meandering service.

Speaker 11 (01:55:38):
Well, the thing the thing was, Marcus, most of us
had never seen a TV, so it wouldn't matter what
was on it would it. You'd be transfixed.

Speaker 1 (01:55:45):
And it would have been the start of the year
because he died at the end of January, so they're
probably flowing across. It was probably one of the first
days of school.

Speaker 11 (01:55:50):
I would think, yeah, Well, like I say, a long
time ago now I.

Speaker 1 (01:55:54):
Can't recall, but it would have been summer well, yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:55:57):
I definitely remember the walk back to her house, and
I remember the other thing, of course, was like her
her elderly father was in the house and he fell
over in the lands while we're all which wow, all
was a bit of a yes, I remember that happening too.
But yeah, this old classmate said here that was he
knew from day one it was Churchill's funeral, so just
you know, it was the moment in history, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:56:18):
Brilliant. Nice story, Chris, thanks so much that fifteen past eleven.
Keep your stories coming through eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty all been very good, Marcus. When I was in
at high school the nineties, the midwork teacher was a
holocaut survivor. A few years later I found that he
was a resistant fighter with the white mouse. Thank you, Marcus.
Tier to North Intermediate. The only straps to get the
cane your parents had to get permission. My dad did.

(01:56:40):
Same year we had the teacher taken away in a
straight jacket, white van tuned up at school to get her. Wow,
that's a fairly provocative thing to have happened, wasn't it
to strap them up? I think I've ever seen a
straight jacket used like that. I always thought it was
just done. The only time I've ever seen straight jackets
used was for escape artists on uni cycles all level

(01:57:03):
at the MCG for staut of Origin and Seal and
Cobbo scored after fantastic Kick the Wing. So it's twelve
all kick to come in. Good evening, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:57:11):
Yeah, good evening, Marcus, it's the end. Yes, just a
quick story. A friend of mine we sat together at
school nineteen fifty six and his father was the teacher
that taught us.

Speaker 1 (01:57:23):
Oh well, that's interesting. Was it a small school.

Speaker 9 (01:57:28):
Regionally big school that was in Elsham and Terinnatti?

Speaker 1 (01:57:31):
Oh yeah, and.

Speaker 9 (01:57:34):
Here we grew up together and he was my best
man and my wife's bridesmaid. They met the night before
our wedding and then two years later they married.

good when you when you retired. I did a truck
driving and work mess of ours and things when I
was young, and you look forward to retirement and you
wake up in the morning and think what am I
going to do next? So they said, if you want
to come right on the truck with me, and I've
done that for twenty years.

Speaker 1 (01:59:54):
How's the driving that you saw tonight, It's pretty good.

Speaker 9 (01:59:58):
It's quite on the road at the moment. I think
the fuel is as biting as the traffic's not on
the road, and say, are not like they used to be,
but hopefully it'll pick up.

Speaker 1 (02:00:10):
Love you to talk in. Got a lot out of that.
Called for every good, Thank you for every good, very
very good. All that Yeah, that's interesting about retirement. What
you've gotta have something to do? Oh, get in touch.
Marcus Ida teaching pido called missus Tire. She would take
the class to a farm to camp for the week,
ab sailing, kayaking, ori in tearing, eating target shooting, all

(02:00:33):
on her farm and mother tator Hickataire. She got voted
for one of the best teachers in New Zealand. She
really was seeking Missus Tire for the amazing memories. What
is amazing how often Hickatya comes up in stories? Be
in touch if you want to be twenty five past eleven.
I was teaching out year olds at the age of
twenty one and nineteen seventy. When I was in my
mid forties, I received a message on my nudi learnt

(02:00:55):
cell phone through an old school site, asking far was
so and so, using my maiden name and describing the
school she went to. And I had taught her remember
her name straight awayd her she reminister a wee bit
over the years I had her, and then said I'd
been the one who inspired her the most during the
school days and she'd become a teacher. Was delighted to

(02:01:15):
hear from her unfortunate my new schools. Doing a cell phone,
someone how managed to scrap the communication totally. I never
found it again. Still gives me a buzz though that
I had some effect on one child. Oh we live
for that. As another teacher. Twenty five past left, we
want to talk. That'st the spirit. Here we go. Selwyn
Cobbo's gone over for a second try. He's got a

(02:01:37):
brace so probably Knucker and Mark Nowick Colwazi should have
actually taken him out. But anyway, that's a situation. So
New South Wales twelve, Queensland eighteen. Sam Walker's got the
kick to come. Although he's on form. He's two from two,
three from three, probably should get this also it's right
on the lines. But yeah, it'll take him to twenty twelve.

(02:01:58):
We don't want to drink, so it's just about to
take that kick. Now we are talking teachers and a
bit of a side topic. The funeral of Churchill screened
on TV and you said, and how did it get here?
It wouldn't have been the same day, I don't think,
but I'm more but plus fader, you don't have to
go to the movies to see if it was played
on State TV. You kicks successful. He's four from four

(02:02:21):
so that's going to be a bit of work now
for New South Wales to get back ander this they're
eight behind. Caleb Ponger made that try. Actually he did
remark a bit well class player, hey, hol about eleven
exactly cricket score. I'll bring that to you twenty two
for one maybe after that twelve overs right, So there

(02:02:46):
we go, first test without Williamson Kin Marcus. My sister
want to sketch your teacher competition when at glenn and
is intermediate in nineteen sixty one, Miss Forsyth was the
nicest teacher. She won a three speed bike so radical
then got her photo on the Herald in the Star.
Plus our family was shot at lunch by the MC
and his department store on Queen Street around the competition.

(02:03:09):
When my sister was asked during the interview what she
wanted to be when she grew up, she answered her
mother she did too, became a teacher first. All this
stuff is quality. But I've got your chance to talk
about your teacher now, and I think I brought most
of the details through to you, So if you got
something to say, I'd love to hear from you enjoyed
this all very much, so yes, you might have a

(02:03:30):
fun fact about yourself to start the call. That's always good.
But be in touch. We'd love to hear from you people.
Marcus head on midnight, tonight, good evening, De nisus is
Marcus welcome?

Speaker 21 (02:03:40):
Oh Marcus. My husband was an industrial chemist. When you
retired at sixty five, the local boys high wanted a
chemistry teacher, so he went and taught there for another
ten years. One of us he wanted to teach the
top class and the bottom class, now the bottom class.
One day he said, all we got on there and

(02:04:00):
they were starting to rumble, and there was tension in
the air and there was going to be trouble. One
of the boys picked up for computer and threw it
straight through the window and I said, what on earth
did you do? And he said, well, I thought there
might be a riot, so I had to keep calm,
so he said, I'll put a big grin on my face,

(02:04:21):
picked up another computer, took it over to the boy
and said that wasn't a bad shock. Do you want
to have another? Go?

Speaker 6 (02:04:27):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (02:04:28):
And he said.

Speaker 21 (02:04:29):
The boy was so stunned he sat down and instead
of there being a riot in the classroom. He said,
they all started to laugh, so he said that calmed
right down. Anyway, he got into terrible trouble. Colin Dion
was the headmaster, but he said he didn't care because
after that he and that class were the best of mates.

(02:04:50):
He said, they got on really well. He said, it
was a whole new ball game. And I thought that
was quite quite interesting because he didn't even say anything
about the mess. He said, he completely ignored the broken
window and the broken computer and just went and picked
up another one.

Speaker 31 (02:05:06):
So you have another go y.

Speaker 1 (02:05:08):
So I don't know that. I don't know what they
teach to win the respect of your class, but there's
I'm sure there's a variety of ways to do it,
and some work and some don't work. But I guess
you've got to be authentic and genuine, don't you.

Speaker 9 (02:05:20):
That's right?

Speaker 21 (02:05:21):
And he said in the class turned out to be
good mates and got interested in the subject. And he
said in the rest of the year went fine.

Speaker 1 (02:05:27):
So you enjoyed teaching after all those years being an
industrial chemist.

Speaker 21 (02:05:30):
Absolutely loved it. Yep, ups and downs, but I think
he got on well with the kids.

Speaker 1 (02:05:37):
Often.

Speaker 21 (02:05:38):
Yeah, we'd often go for a walk after he retired
and was in his eighties, and they'd come up to
him when we were walking, you know, any of the pupils,
and oh hi, how are you now? Good to see
you again?

Speaker 1 (02:05:50):
So that was nice, nice story. Thank you so much
for that. Today's get in touch. My name is Marcus.
Welcome the numbers eight hundred and eighty TODA eighty nine
to nine to detext here till midnight if you want
to be a part of it. Anything else you want
to talk about, but the money, it's teachers, Well only
it's teachers, Mark noh And what Nowazi has scored again?
He's gone over in the corner. That'll make it. I'm

(02:06:12):
just waiting for the school. I think it's sixteen twenty
six now, but I don't know if that's put up
the score that so have only been watching all of it?
Is it not up yet? There is at twenty twenty six?

what the score is. It'll either be sixteen twenty six
or twenty twenty six? Yep, But have there already put
the new screw up? I can't remember what it was. No, okay,

nice to hear from you. Power line down across Levin

hell of a detour that was a thread of KD tour.
So that's now been fixed. So that's good to go.
Keep the texts too, if you've got them. Nine two
nine two to text. Yeah, sixteen twenty six is a
score kick to come, so go to score twice to
win this. I don't think they will kick a successful

(02:07:10):
eighteen twenty six. Oh Marcus, just wondering if I could
get a hump day shout out. Please shout out to Tapa.

my teacher from Kieroha, and one stage there she I
bit this boy and she was running around the classroom
trying to catch me, and I got out the door
and went racing home to mum and mom said, what
are you doing home? I said, the teachers trying to

(02:11:28):
catch me. She said, you get back to school and
face the music. But not long after that, I spent
a lot of time in hospital, and when I got
out of hospital, I had to stay at home for
a while, and Miss Strange gathered up all the children
and Mum put me in a pretty dress and all

(02:11:49):
the kids came home to see me. Isn't that nice?

the situation. If you want to talk before the end,
would love to hear from you, give us holler teachers

(02:13:32):
the score is thirty eight eighteen to Queensland. This could
be the maroons first start of origin one at the
MCG in thirty one years New South Wales five five
win one ross one loss record there, So yeah, I
think I imagine it's almost historical victory thirty eight eighteen.
There's twelve minutes left to go in this. But yeah,

(02:13:54):
I don't know what's gone wrong with they started well,
they started really well in New South Wales, but for
the last hour. They haven't really been in the picture. Alistair,
good evening. It's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (02:14:04):
Welcome, Hi Micaus.

Speaker 1 (02:14:05):
So yeah good Alastair.

Speaker 10 (02:14:08):
Hey, guys, wanted to get on the old teacher right.
I had a pretty cool teacher. Her name was Missus Bloomfield.
It was actually Blomfield's month.

Speaker 1 (02:14:14):
Oh I didn't know that. That's a nice story.

Speaker 10 (02:14:16):
Yeah, well yeah, she was my standard too teacher. I
just got back into New Zealand. I lived in Hong
Kong as a youngster, and she was great. She could
tell a mean story and she used to also like
pass up the front of her an audion snackers with
a ruler. She's quite quite quite an out there lady.

Speaker 1 (02:14:34):
So when you've got to respect someone that does that,
if you're doing it right, I think. I think if
you're doing it right, it was her technique.

Speaker 10 (02:14:41):
She grabbed you by the arm, holding you had no
choice and just got a couple of month.

Speaker 1 (02:14:46):
Would you say that because he was from Tawa, would
you say that was stop? Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
so secondary.

Speaker 10 (02:14:54):
No primary, I'm into primary and second.

Speaker 1 (02:14:58):
Copy of that good stuff, Elisa, Thank you. Rayot's Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 7 (02:15:02):
Good Marcus just just coming from watching TV watching the
program of the Great Scenic through our Juniors of the
world and the Rocky Mountaineer through the Rocky Mountains. What
a wonderful, very trip. Of course I'd love to go
on that. The big double decker ones going up through

(02:15:23):
up the Bens and you know, through there, the scenery
that would ridicule New Zealand scenery, the place up there
with the you know, the double, big double decker trains
and that.

Speaker 1 (02:15:35):
What else do they get to do it? Say, what
altitude do they go?

Speaker 7 (02:15:41):
It's four four four thousand, four thousand of forty thousand
feet or something. Wait, the fair way up Bens was
high as it goes to and I don't know where
it starts from. A friend of mine that was in
black Ball here he passed away now, but he went

(02:16:01):
on there. When he went up, his daughter used to
live up there.

Speaker 1 (02:16:05):
It's four thousand, yeah, and and and.

Speaker 7 (02:16:09):
The locomotives they're making up they're making our trains here
look like but he shunned us. You know, the mess
of big engines here and beautiful but he scenery.

Speaker 1 (02:16:20):
But the passiger carriages double decker or just the freight
the carriages.

Speaker 7 (02:16:27):
Are double deck, and they've got special tunnels built so
they can get through. And and of course they're working
in the traveler. They're crossing them a freight freight trains
as well, because a lot of the stuff is all freight.

Speaker 1 (02:16:40):

sure that there has been two or three of them
men on there. Of course it's late at night.
