Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Be Greetings and Good Evening, our Ato seven. My name
is Marcus here till twelve o'clock. I hope things are
good where you are and how you are. So yeah,
if they're not going to they get better by the
time midnight rolls around, by the time Friday rolls around.
Who reckons? I've got a saint. I've got a faint
simmering anger going on in the back of my brain.
Today it's the one hundredth anniversary of the Caesar salad,

(00:36):
and I got to work. I thought, what is that?
Does that have bacon or not? I've had to actually
go to the Wikipedia page of a Caesar said to
see it has bacon or not. Two things I blame.
One is the Internet, because it's almost as though I
think we've become less reliant on our memories, haven't we,
because we know that everything's there online. It is that true.
I often think that my memory has become less aggressive

(01:02):
or less reliable because it knows that everything's on the internet.
Is it a thing? I think that's a thing. Anyway.
It is the hundredth birthday of the Caesar salad the
world's most famous salad. What would be the second most?
Would it be the walled Orf? When we say a
famous salad, there's only one salad that's famous, which is

(01:22):
the Caesar. But I think not only am I slightly
favour is slightly angry at my lack of memory, but
I'm also slightly angry at people that have always quite
often your go places. And I say caesar salad with
smoked chicken or with bacon, and I think both of
them are know no, because the thing about the Caesar
salad is the share, the share strictness and the sparsity

(01:45):
of its ingredients. Anyway, I don't know if anyone's got
an exciting caesar salad story. It's just let us eggs, lemon, juice,
and anchovies, I think, with a bit of parme parmesan
cheese on. Anyway, See, if I googled famous salads, there
wouldn't be many, would there? There just be the Caesar

(02:09):
and the Waldorf. I don't even know what the Waldorf is.
No one knows world's most famous salad. Do you go
the caesar from Mexico?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
OHI there is a salad nisswar as well, I don't
know what that is. Let's do with the sea, I
think anyway, on the salad caplisi, that's the one. You've
got layers of cheese, mozzarella and tomato with some basil.
Do we say basil or basil?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Anyway?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Certainly have all of but food is it?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
The other thing? Just while I am here, and I'm
here for a while, and I know I am here
at the sports audience, what's it with the NRL people?
Did I see that? The I thought there was going
to be an eighteenth and the nineties team, nineteenth team.
I thought it was gonna be West in Australia or
Papua New Guinea or a South Island one. And there's

(03:02):
a fair bit of talk. And I'm not connected with
sports people. I'm not like on to special website. It's
most websites I click on to see sports news, particular
with rugby league, I've got to subscribe to, which I'm
not going to because I'm not that into I'm not
kind of into it, but not that into it. But
the scuttlement appears to be is though the eighteenth team
is going to be a combination of the North Shore Bears,

(03:23):
Great Jersey over the years, great jerseys. I like my jerseys.
A combination of the North Shore Bears and Western Australia,
I don't know what to think about that. I mean,
for a start, if it is a Western Australia combined team,

(03:48):
that's going to mean that the Warriors are going to
be in for a long plane trip once a year
or once every two years if they share the matches
between Western Australia and North Sydney. But yeah, if you're
across any of that information, I wouldn't mind hearing from it.
I don't know what's happened to PNG. They thought the

(04:08):
PNG team might be based in Ken's But if you've
got information about that, I'd be up for that because
I like my league. I like following, I I like
working out, I like following how they're expanding that competition BECAU.
It's a risky thing to do because every time you
expand it, you're diluting how much each team earns by

(04:32):
about four percent or six percent really, so it's it's
a risky strategy. But good on them anyway, if you've
got some information, if you kind of hot on the
press with that one with the North Shore Bears and PNG.
But it seems though the Western Australian North Shore Beers
combined team has come up with a thirty million. They're
all in. If anyone's got information about that, I'd like
to talk to you all about salads. An exciting Caesar

(04:55):
salad story, Marcus. My wife's potato salad is pretty famous.
Love a potato salad, fruit salad, i' say Caesar Waldorf
nicois Greek fruit. Marcus, Coleslaw bro pretty famous teller in

(05:15):
our house. I don't even have cole sal Coldslaw is there?

Speaker 4 (05:18):
We go?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Isn't the anti salad? I suppose it's a salad. It's
because you're an old bastard. Marcus. Sorry, I'm in England
listening to z BE. Could you please tell me the
name of the lady you mentioned who died. Please? That
must be on the news.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'll google that one up and i'll google that woman
back from that anyway, Paul Marcus.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Welcome, Hello Mars.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
How's it going real good? Paul?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
How's yourself?

Speaker 6 (05:50):
Good?

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Mate? Happy fourth to July?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Well you're happy fourth of are you American?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, I'm irish, You're close.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yeah, okay I've just gone past a whole lot of
fireworks and saying, hey, you're and a whole lot of
Americans with their fancy cars, and.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, who what sort of Americans would live in Saint Hill?

Speaker 7 (06:15):
He is.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
The lucky ones? Yeah, okay, have good answer, Yeah yeah,
just ringing up about caesar salad stories. And this happens
to me all the time. My wife loves caesar salad,
but this hell, she orders it caesar salad please now,
and choses no eggs, chicken and bacon, so she's to blame. Well,

(06:42):
it's really awkward coming up and asking the chef to
cook the season, you know, to make a caesar salad
but the anchokes and the eggs off it, and you know,
because then look at me and I know it's gonna
say mate, but that's what she's asked for, So I'm
not sure if it's still a caesar salad, you know.
So anyway, that's that's my caesar salad story.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
I think people get an American people get quite freaked
out because the caesar hend is supposed to have a
ru rig into it, so there are salmon ella concerns also,
so it's kind of quite an eagy salad.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Right, I don't know about a raw egg, but I
have to say, although it was a bit you know,
hasn'tant but for the egg actually is really a nice
soft egg. It's really nice and really fantastic.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think it's supposed to be
a raw egg or a very softly pulled egg or
a coddleedg. Do you know what a coddle egg is?

Speaker 8 (07:31):
An that's coddles.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
I don't know. A lot, a lot don't know.

Speaker 9 (07:38):
I've got a clue.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Really, it'll it'll be interesting to see if we get
the same reaction as Americans and Saint Helly Is setting
off fireworks to celebrate a full commemorate celebrate fourth of
July and the Indians and Monaco celebrating Diwali. So I
always get a lot of complaints about that, so we'll
see if there's consistency tonight.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah yeah, anyway, yeah, so yeah, happy for July, happy salad,
and there enjoy your program.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Thank you. Anyone got any more calls about the PEPs
of caesar salad was invented on American Independence Day because
of that, was it? I'd be excited to talk more
about that. Eight hundred eighty nine two de text Market
still midnight. Well, that's good, that's good. We got a
call about Caesar Salad, brilliant garden salad. Someone said, yeah,

(08:37):
I'd say that it would be the most famous solad
there's ever been. It'd be my take on that one.
We are talking see and look, it's beyond my wildes dreams.
We've got two calls on it. Someone sent me the
zero Techle website, which is pretty good actually, as far
as the NRL stories. Think you hadn't come across that anyway, Morris,

(09:03):
It's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (09:04):
Welcome Arcus Caesar Salad. I've been to the Hotel Caesar
in Tijuana where it was invented.

Speaker 9 (09:13):
No straight away.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Wow good.

Speaker 10 (09:17):
My wife had traveled to Mexico before we married, and
that was one of her insistences. We crossed the border
into Tijuana at one o'clock in the morning, after having
caught up with our son who was at UC Davis
at San Diego. About eleven o'clock at night. Got a
hotel near the main street, and the Hotel Caesar is

(09:39):
what used to be the main entry point from the
States into Tijuana, and mister Cedar built this three or
four story hotel to attract the rich Americans who were
not able to bet on horse racing and gambling in general.
And they used to drive down to San Diego and

(10:01):
then cross the border into Tijuana and where his hotel
has placed us on the old main entrance roadway, which
most people walked across the border. You can order to
seizear salad, you have to do it slightly before you
go and dine. They make it at the table like
a guy turns up with a guy next question. The

(10:24):
guy turns up all in sort of tuxedo type waiters
gear with a great big dessert tollie. He makes it
all up in a great big wooden bowl in front
of your eyes, and he makes the servings of a
four of us. So he makes the serving for four,
and he tells you what's putting into it. And it
takes about five minutes from to make it and serve it.

(10:47):
And yeah, great experience.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
So he's really making the dressing. Is he with a
bit of the olive oil and the rig and the
egg and the lemon juice and the end is what
he's working yep.

Speaker 10 (11:01):
Yeah, And the raw egg goes into the bowl. Is
one of the first things from memo and then the
letters is the last thing he does. He chops it
up unto regimental and places them on the table on
your plate, and then pours the shmow over the top
of it. And there you go.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Wow and beck at you with old Tijuana for the
horse racing, because in that book Seabiscuit about the horse,
a lot of that's based in Tijuana, because that's where
the jockeys and all the horse racing happened for a
long long time. So I hadn't read about that.

Speaker 10 (11:34):
And it was all fueled by well not even wealthy
Americans that it was the closest point where they could
get a horse racing and play the bets. And so
they had nightclubs with music and casino type operations, and
Caesar catered. Caesars Hotel catered for the high end. And
he made the salad of an evening at about one

(11:55):
or two in the morning when a whole lot of
his guests came back to the hotel and demanded to
be fed, and that was all he had on the fridge,
and he made it.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Was it good?

Speaker 7 (12:05):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 10 (12:07):
Well, it's like going to one of those Japanese Kippennaki
places where they came knives and forks and swish stuff
all up in here and stuff like that.

Speaker 8 (12:17):
So very similar to that.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
What if there's anywhere we could find anywhere in New
Zealand where they may come right beside your table, because
I'd be interested to experience that.

Speaker 10 (12:27):
It would be well, it'd be a one off that
they wouldn't have the authenticity about it.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
But yeah, you made my night, Morris, Thank you very
much for coming through with that. That's great, Caesar sound
one hundred diniversary, hundred birthday today. The other thing that
seems surprising to even imagine it now in the book
about Sea Biscuit, which is the greatest book about a
horse ever written. But not only did the jockeys all

(12:55):
live in Tijuana because that's where the horse racing happened,
there was a giant pile of horse manure that was
and like giant piles of horse manure was sort of,
it was composting, and it was heated and with hot
it was smoldering because it was so hot, and the

(13:18):
jockeys would spend time in this pile to lose weight.
Doesn't that sound dark? Doesn't that sound like I've imagined it,
but that's what happened. So Tijuana. This must have been
the forties when we seabiscuit around the thirties or the forties.
Tijuana must have been outrageous. But you imagine jockey's doing

(13:42):
that to lose weight. Who want to have been jockey?
By the way, always worried about your weight anyway, twenty
past eight Mine of us, Marcus. We're talking Caesar salads
in the NRL. New team that's coming, and it looks
like it's going to be North Sydney and Perth, a
combo team. Marcus. I've been a Warriors fan since nineteen

(14:03):
ninety five. I live in the South Island. I'll be
torn of the older to South Island team is I
don't feel like I could support two teams. Jamie from
Warnacker Marcus Good Evening. Yeah, like a Caesar salad named
after Julius Caesar, go Lulu Sudden. I think it is that.
I think the waiter's name was Caesar. Marcus. What do

(14:30):
you get if there's a head in your vegy garden?
A chicken Caesar salad? Very good, extremely good, Hayden, it's
Marcus Good Evening.

Speaker 8 (14:40):
Yeah, Hey, Marcus, how thanks.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Good, Thank you.

Speaker 11 (14:42):
Hayden.

Speaker 8 (14:44):
Hey, yeah, you're bouncing between norsehaw Bez nor Sydney Bears,
but the Northidney Bears. The reason why they're not going
with Papua New Guinea is that they're a little bit
unsure about the safety of the players, and so the
last I heard is that that sort of got sort
of Kai washed and so they went back to the

(15:05):
North Sydney Bears and over on Perth. But I also
heard that with the South Island team there's a guy
back in it for a time. But then I don't
think the Warriors sort of endorsed it.

Speaker 12 (15:20):
You know.

Speaker 8 (15:20):
That's sort of like, look where we're sort of we
while off having the second team in New Zealand, so
let's sort of just hold the ford a little bit.
But yeah, I don't know what it'd be like with
there'd been a New nas and the Bears fan then
go and being in Perth. It seems a little bit weird,
you know. But I think at the end of it,

(15:41):
I don't, Sorry.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I don't. I don't think Andrew Webster was a fan.
I think he thought New Zealand just should have one
because it would weaken the player pool. But I don't
know if that's I don't know if that makes sense,
but I can't work it.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (15:54):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
The only other team I can think of where it's
combined is probably the Tigers, which are two teams that
aren't even adjacent to each other, and that seems to
go all right. Now they're going to redo like like
our oval, so that's still going to be their home.
But I mean that's that's like a six hour plane
trip between the two parts of the club.

Speaker 8 (16:19):
If there's a girl on Chen or nine, it's always
rooting for the Norse and the Beers to come back.
And there's one god boy he's lightning back in the day,
but I can't remember his name off the top of
my head. But I think it's really going to go
that way due to the money, because I sort of
bummed a p G miss Dacas the National Sports Rugby League.

(16:41):
You know they love and breather, but I uh sort
of heard that it came down to a bit of
player player safety and who are they going to have
relocated PNG? You know, well, what Ozzie's or key is
are going to go? Well, now I'll should live and
PNG for two three years. Uh, sort of like who's

(17:03):
going to go.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
So if there's more team the team, if there's more teams,
that make the season longer.

Speaker 8 (17:13):
I actually don't think it will because I know it's
about twenty six twenty seven rounds now, and you play
everyone once and then the odd team twice, and players
are already complaining that's too long anyway, because if they
played everyone once for eighteen teams, I probably want to
go strow twenty four rounds. But it just comes back

(17:34):
to I think they're hamshun by the media media going hey,
we want twenty six rounds of NRL because of this
is the money we're going to pump into it, and
so yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, okay, so thank you Hayden for that information. Anyway, Yeah,
that seems to be the case. It seems they looks
as though it's going to be a North Sydney that's right,
North Sydney Bears Perth combination. So of course Perth to
be the only Western Australian team side there. I don't
know if anyone turned up to watch them. They seem
to be pretty much and they've got two NRL teams

(18:09):
in Western Australia. They've got the Perth team and the
Fremantle team with the guy that did the Great Mark. Anyway, Anyway, Marcus,
remember when there was the problem on Faulty Tower's kitchen,
our hotel guests asked for wold of salad. I'm sorry,
we're completely out of Waldorf's. Wow. The amazing thing about

(18:31):
forty Towers, there weren't many episodes like eight or twelve,
twenty seven away from nine took four to your calls,
Steve Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 13 (18:40):
Yeah, we had an American independence stay here in them.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Have you finished it?

Speaker 14 (18:46):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (18:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
What time did you have it?

Speaker 6 (18:54):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (18:55):
Well, we started about eleven o'clock. Good bought out the turkey.
I had nine vegetables individually cooked. Uh yeah, we we
started out with mushrooms done in a white sauce as

(19:19):
an entree. We had the turkey. Came out and with
all of vegetables and a lot of Shash Brewer root beer.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Good god. Okay, could you make that yourself?

Speaker 3 (19:39):
No?

Speaker 13 (19:39):
I just quite it locally at four Square here Square, yep, yeah,
good old four Square hundred years old day.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
You'll have a lot of Oh it's the four Square's
birthday as well. Is it their anniversary today?

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (19:52):
One hundred years today. Yeah, that my four square might
the people that run their local one there, they they're
real down to earth people.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
How come I missed out? It was because I've into
our force and I hadn't been to our fourth girls
going to but didn't go. I didn't know it was
one hundredth birthday.

Speaker 13 (20:12):
Yeah, oh you missed that. Later in the night, I
don't know. He's gone home with a full belly and homesick.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
What will you be doing with all your spare turkey?

Speaker 13 (20:29):
What spare turkey?

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Two people can Okay, good Steve. Nice to hear from you.
What about retail, Like, retail is the worst since the
crash of eighty seven. I think that's because of the economy.
I think that's because people aren't buying stuff anymore because
they're getting it all through the mail. You know my
thoughts on that? What a time to be alive. Saspirilla.

(21:02):
Every been quite sure what that is, although I like it,
like saying the word. I've got no idea what.

Speaker 9 (21:07):
I think.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's some sort of a plant.

Speaker 12 (21:10):
Joe.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
When it's Marcus good evening, Oh.

Speaker 15 (21:13):
Hi Marcus, Hey, I'll just ringing in about the salads,
and I've got to say that that's my desert island
food and the food I love the most anything I've
ever eaten. And I wrote in the third of April
twenty twenty, I wrote down a salad that I'd eaten

(21:34):
and it was just divine. It's not a Caesar salad,
and I like a Caesar salad, but my favorite time.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I've just got interrupted. If you said that your fate,
your desert island food is a salad, not the caesar salad.
It's a particular salad you want to talk about, is.

Speaker 15 (21:50):
It, Yes, it's I just wanted to give. I just
wanted to give a shout out to a leafy, green
herb salad that would be my desert island salad. And
I ate one on the third of April to than
twenty and I've written it down and I would quite
like to share it with people.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Absolutely, if it must be shared, it must be shared.
This is a salard waiting to get out.

Speaker 16 (22:17):
Well, I've got it.

Speaker 15 (22:18):
I had to go through all my diaries to find it,
so I found it. So it was had green sorrel
variegated sorrel fully lettuce read lettuce, MAZOONA drunken lady lettuce, rocket, chives, nasturtium,
flat leaf, parsley, basil, marjora and oregono, lemon basil, lemon, thyme,
time and dil fronds. And it was dressed with extra

(22:42):
vergent olive oil and seasoned with cracked pepper and ground
sea salt. Wow, absolutely beautiful. I just couldn't believe that.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
And for you to have it written down, it wouldn't
be at the restaurant because you wouldn't get all that detail.
Did a friend make it for you?

Speaker 15 (23:01):
No, we made it at home.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Oh it's your own.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Yeah, we've got a.

Speaker 15 (23:06):
Big we've got a garden that's got lots of green
leafy and lots of herbs that we use. But I
just couldn't believe when I ate it, it was just
absolutely mind blowing, And I sat there thinking I would
forgo all other food to eat a salad like that.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
I love the taste and astutiums. They're fantastic food. You
don't see that, you don't see them around that much.

Speaker 15 (23:31):
No, And funnily, they're really peppery when you eat them alone,
But when you actually mix them in a salad like that,
the pepperinus goes away. And so that's really fascinating. I
have no idea why that is, but just it seems
like the combination of all those other flavors dulls down
that peppering iss so you get like a bit of

(23:51):
people bit of crunch. And then of course all of
those herbs have beautiful flowers which you can actually decorate
a salad with as well, So you land up with
just this beautiful picturesque and all of those herbs, depending
on the herb flowers, depending on when you pack them,
they all task differently depending on sort of what age

(24:12):
the herbers and just what the season is. And that's
just a whole nother layer of food.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Do you keep a diary or a food diary?

Speaker 15 (24:22):
Well, I went through a phase of keeping food diaries,
and funnily enough started it at COVID just before we
went down to COVID, and I kept it for a
couple of years and then I just stopped because I
thought I didn't want to do it anymore. It's a
nice record to have to go back to.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Actually, it's a great record.

Speaker 15 (24:41):
Yeah, so I'd recommend that.

Speaker 17 (24:43):
It really is.

Speaker 15 (24:45):
Mind blowing was for me and I just couldn't. I
just couldn't believe that. I thought, you know, you could
eat pie, you could eat bread, you could eat crosslins,
you could eat anything, and I'd go with a salad.
And the other thing that's kind of interesting for me
is I'm not really a natural drinker, so I don't
drink much. But that makes me want to have like
a crisp glass of wine, I can.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I mention, Yeah, I wonder. I wonder how you would
be if you ate that for a week in a row,
because I mean, you reckon, you get sick of it.
Because if it's going to be your desert island food,
I reckon, you got a road up. I mean, for
a start, You're probably not gonna end up on a
desert island.

Speaker 14 (25:20):
But no, it's true.

Speaker 15 (25:23):
But the thing is you can if you vary that
it changes dramatically to flavor, like if you remove some
of it or add more of it. I just can't.
I just can't believe it.

Speaker 6 (25:33):
Really.

Speaker 15 (25:35):
So yeah, so no, I don't think i'd be the
happiest person in the world.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, you could probably do that, you see, you probably
actually could invent your own desert island and just do that. Really,
if that's going to make you happy, I mean, that's
your fingertips, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (25:49):
So?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
When thank you muchly. I'm just now I'm trying to
work out what my desert island food is. It's gonna
take a bit of a while to come up with that, actually,
because I'm a big fan of food, my troublers. I
find foods I think are fantastic that I binge on
and I get sick of them. I think I'm mistake
care of these islands. I don't think I've got one
eighteen to nine eight hundred and eighty ten eighty disert

(26:12):
island food. Caesar salad d NRL. Let's what we're on
about so far, Marcus, was it ladies the recipe a
salad or a hur lad? Since it had more herbs
than salad? Wow? Get in touch. My favorite salad is

(26:36):
I oleye salad potato said with bacon bits, gerkin and parsley.
So awesome. Flip your flip, love you. Someone says that
no salad should have more than five ingredients. I'm a
bit of a fan of that, actually, Marcus. PAMs Mexican
sound is the best. Marcus, don't know if it's on topic,

(26:58):
but I'm addicted to this Thai kumita salad. They're selling
Countdown a new World tasting healthy. I probably spent about
twey dollars a week on it. Maybe I should learn
how to make it. Oz worried. I think the kumita
salad was the one where the mouse was at the
christ Church Countdown Marcus with the old shrimp cocktail we

(27:21):
classed as a salad. They're pretty iconic. I don't know
what that would be classtairs when it's in a jar,
glass tweeter they called a cocktail. That triggered me for
a long time, not knowing what that was. Someone has

(27:41):
texted me and said, have you heard of us? Have
you heard of the sapphire salad? And I thought it
might be something they're playing a trick with me, but
I think it is a salad. I thought it might
be some sort of well you know what I thought,
with sapho and all of that, But a saphire salad.

(28:04):
I don't know too much about it, but we are
to looking sound. It's quite a strong response. It is
one hundredth birthday of the Caesar salad, which is romaane lettuce. Yeah,
so that's happening. Romain lettuce and anchovy and an egg

(28:32):
romaine lettuce, which is the one that looks a bit
like whitloof. Marcus, i'd it's the most amazing salad from
our local Mexican called Cancun and Blenheim. I love caesar
salad as well. It was a Green Goddess salad chopped
and cos lettuce, tomatoes, pickle, vegels, pumpkin seeds, pineapple, finished
with Green Goddess dressing, which is lemon, schlots, olive oil, basil, spinach, garlic, walnuts.

(28:56):
Always up jilly gilly. Excuse me, guys, but every time
I see the word bezel, I always want to say basil.
I don't know why, like I can't get part. I'm
sure it's a mispronunciation. So fun to say, Hello, David Marcus,
welcome here you can Marcus.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
I was wondering whether he had heard of a next Salem.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
No, but I'm sure I'm going to.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Okay, that's where you skip the salad and.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Go straight to the space.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
I wondered if the salad topic might be too challenging
for people.

Speaker 12 (29:34):
Oh, you can't go.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Next solod. Nice to hear from you, David, Wow, goodness,
next salady, very good salad jokes. Keep those going, Oh
eight hundred eighty eight, Hey, hang about us thinking where
we get some interesting stories about British election. Would they
vote in the Falklands or not? Are they a colony
or territory? What's their status? Someone might know? Marcus best

(30:01):
five ingredients salad, watermelon, feta, mint, green olives, and shaved
red onion with a balsamic glaze. Head it for lunch today.
I'll tell you what the watermelon are back in the shops.
There's quite a few Australian watermelon I noticed, and the
I'll peck and save giant watermelon. Goodness. I mean, how

(30:23):
could they afford to bring those across? How could you
fly a watermelon across? Well maybe they come by boat.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Quite often when I'm in the souper mail, I get
challenged by the logistics, like what's going on there? What's
the how's the shipping happening? Anyway? Be good to invent
a sell it? Wouldn't it become famous? Because I think
all the great salads will be invented. But I guess
that's what they thought before the guy came up with
the Caesar one Tirwana. Marcus the beef and lamb farmers.

Speaker 11 (31:03):
In there.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Maybe you eat so much red meat. They say chicken
is their salad. Wow. A lot a bit of pushback
about salads. Some people triggered by salad as a discussion point.
That's okay, people inventing their own salads. People talk about
the caesar salad. I don't know where he has caesar
salad ands anywhere. They'd make it next to the table,

(31:27):
whisk it up.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Well.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I have looked on YouTube, but they're making the salad
and it looks like they're pretty full on. It's almost
like a pestilin mortar or mesteline porter. I don't know
which is which. No, it's like in a wooden bowl
and they tap it all in from five different bowls,

(31:51):
the garlic and the anchov and the lemon juice. They
whisk it up beside the thing. Then the egg is cuddled.
I think now normally I think the egg is raw.
People are triggered by that. I've often noticed on those
American cooking shows if someone soved something with a raw rig,
then the chiefs get quite concerned. I don't want to salmonella. Yep,

(32:17):
that happens. Good evening Matt, it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (32:19):
Welcome, good Marcus.

Speaker 13 (32:25):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
I've just set my friend Haven's house and we play
the music here. He's a big fan of yours. And
we're heard you're talking about Kermitter Sellars and we're in
a band and we've got a song called Kermitter and
it's a really sad song about someone there lost their
kermitter after going to the four square and when they

(32:47):
put it in the in the in the bag, there
was a hole in the bag and it's kermitter fell out,
and then you got home.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
What's the name of the band.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
The band is called yah Ya and the Snakes.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
No, it doesn't sound like a very good band. Yeah,
yeah and the Snakes yep.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
Yeah, yeah, it's name. After owing for a holiday in
Thailand and the lady was showing us around and I
looked out the window and there was this massive snake outside,
and then she started calling her husband Yaya, and he
came along and he started chasing the snake away with
us berg as stick or some straw on the.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
End of it.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Wow. Oh and you are I can see your I
mean you've got releases and stuff, right you are on Facebook?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Yeah, man, Yeah, we've been around for ages and we've
had a few line up changes and we're actually we're
playing a gig tomorrow night at the Czech Allie's house
which is on the Fuddy Potty Street and Barren Poor
and she's about to go and the overseas in UK
and the UK.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
But it's weird that we're talking today about Kumua and
about the Fourth Square and that's what your song's about.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Yeah, yeah, and I.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Thought you were taking the mickey or was a song
that was written by by check G P t a I.
But there you are outside the Four Square singing it.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
Yeah, it is a music video and everything, man, but
we we put it out. But that's the old singer.
So now I'm the singer.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Because who's who's the hair farmer?

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Who's what? What the hair farmer?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
The guy along here is that Ethan Hayden. Who's the
guy along here in the video?

Speaker 4 (34:37):
That's probably Meka So he's the bass player, but he's
he he left, he went to Melbourne. He's from Latvia.
He's a really cool dude.

Speaker 7 (34:46):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
And then I'm Matt. I'm the guy. I'm playing the
guitar by the actual guitar. And then Hayn's on the drums,
and then Axel was the old singer, but he's.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Left now the guard x all, the guy in the
blue jersey, who's the girl on the video, who's the
go on the video that's walking around the shop?

Speaker 4 (35:08):
Yeah, that's that's excell Yeah Twitter, Yeah yeah, no, yeah,
I'm in the drummer head a disagreement and then yeah
and then and then.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
What was the disagreement over?

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Well, so the drummer was on the drums and he
was trying to and the bass player list, which was Meka.
So Axel started trying to play the bass and sang
at the same time, which meant that he couldn't play
the bass the same way as the drummer was used to.
And then he got just like feed up with her,

(35:44):
and then he got feed up with the drummer telling
him how to play, and then it all turned to custard.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
It's kind of really it's got a really good melody.
It's a it's a it's a bit britt pop and
it's a bit it's a if they want to see
you got a ya and the snakes on the on
on Facebook that's how I found it. And then the
Cumeras song is about four songs down.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
A yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Did the album go well.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Well.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Well yeah yeah. But you know, what does it mean
that people downloaded?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
I mean that means you need to pay for promotion,
you know, like if like if you put you put
something out and then like just ignored and then so
you pay like thousands of box and get it's a
box to bot farm you on Facebook or whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Because in the video there's someone who's dressed up as
the Cumrara. That's a good she's doing. She's in the crocs,
that's good.

Speaker 12 (36:47):
Who's that?

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Oh yeah, that was just there was one of our mates.
She's she's from oh kind of maybe Austria or something,
I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Multicultural. She's nailing being the cumula looking in through the
pub window and stuff. That's classic.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. We've got a mate that
does video editing and like social media and stuff, and
he employed some of the staff to come and film it.
Just just the.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Well see what I'll do. I'll get the people to
text me in what they think. Oh, looks like you're
filming around Newtown or something.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Are you don't Oh yeah yes, yeah. We jam and
beer and poor, like there's probably some people have heard
ask because it's just my Druma's house and it's like
loud airs and everyone hears that. Sometimes we hear people
complain on various Facebook groups, but then other people are like, oh,

(37:47):
there's cool is or you should pay to be able
to hear that.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
And there's a Cumaa actually round the waterfront of the
markets buying Kumra.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Mm hmm, it's a good video.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
I'll get people just watching and know what they think
of it. Yeah, and the Snake's got a Facebook. The
song is called Kumra. It's good and I haven't even
heard it because I've been talking to Matt again in
touch without talking salads. And the band in the NRL
looks like the North Sydney Perth Combination Act are going

(38:19):
to be the new team Marcus. There has never been
a business deal done with a salad. I think the
first four square opened in forty eight. Someone see twenty
what year in nineteen twenty four? Marcus, look up food
in a minute, Kiwi summer salad. My goodness, it's like

(38:41):
a party in your mouth. Food in a minute, Kiwi
summer salad. We're talking legendary salads. I always found food
in a minute quite difficult because I always thought food
in a minute took a minute to cook, but actually
it just took a minute to tell you about the recipe.

(39:03):
So yeah, I was always struggling to get it cooked
in thyme because I thought you could whip it up.
I mean normally it was you don't mean tins of stuff,
wasn't it? Don't know what the Kiwi summer salad's gotten.
It beat trout, baby peas, red onion, and feta with
a zesty lemon. They all say zesty lemon. What does

(39:24):
a lem? How would you know lemon zesty or not zesty?
Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Sapphire salad. Talk
about Tijuana and the original Caesar salad. Get there. Watch
the video people, ye are the snakes. It's pretty important, Marcus.
I sit down for the news every night. My knees hurt.
It's the only time the dark you have a missus,
be quiet and feel sorry for me, all on the

(39:46):
base of the excuse of the news. I don't get
how bad the news is. If it gets her off
my back and gets the weight off my knees, it's fantastic,
or you'd like the hour bulletin. Hello Cambell, it's Marcus.

Speaker 7 (39:57):
Welcome Marcus. When you said kous summer salad, I just
had this memory popper, so i'd hear my classic Kiwi
summer salad from my childhood.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
What you were doing that in winter? Ay?

Speaker 7 (40:10):
Yes, as soon as you said that I could, I
could taste it as well.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
That's like proost when you hear oh yeah wow. Anyway, right,
so this is how it went.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
And it was never in a bowl.

Speaker 11 (40:24):
It was always in separate bits to make it yourself.
It was always ice boed lettuce, none of this fancy
hydroponic stuff, and the top leaves were always taken off,
it was never shredded, and the brown bits were cut out.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
In a bowl.

Speaker 11 (40:42):
Then you had round sliced tomatoes which were way too
big and you always had to cut them. As you
were eating your salad. You had tinned Oh God, bless
the name and stuff I've gotten it.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Tell me what looks like beth?

Speaker 11 (41:00):
Oh s pee truth? Thank you turned truth, and the
rounds as well. And the next bo was so there
was round cut cucumbers. Beside that, there was always perfectly
cubes cheese. And then besides that was in a gravy,
a clear gravy jug the vinegar and conense, milk, mayonnaise

(41:27):
that you'd over it. And my father was very exotic,
and no one had it. We always he was disgusting.
He always had turned asparagus.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Was he from Was he from overseas?

Speaker 11 (41:41):
No?

Speaker 18 (41:41):
No, not at all, No, not at all. And and
and you made it yourself. And and that's.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Which which part of the country.

Speaker 11 (41:50):
Are we company?

Speaker 18 (41:52):
Coast and Wellington?

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Okay? Well, and you just walk and you put your
just I've missed.

Speaker 7 (41:57):
I've missed a crucial one. Sorry, hard boiled eggs cut
in half.

Speaker 9 (42:05):
Yeah, that was the hour.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
I'll tell you what. If it was put in front
of me, I eat it now. I think that sounds great.
Beat does that contaminate stuff? But the cheese, the egg,
the tomato, the beetro the lettuce. Have I have? I
got everything?

Speaker 14 (42:25):
You got?

Speaker 19 (42:26):
Yep?

Speaker 18 (42:26):
You've got basically everything.

Speaker 7 (42:27):
Yep.

Speaker 18 (42:28):
In the in, the in the sauce, the sauce, the mayonnaise.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Beautiful.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
We're talking nineteen eighties or seventies.

Speaker 18 (42:38):
Seventies and eighties born and I was born in seventy six,
so yeah, even the early nineties and then and then
some random person one day brought along the avocado, and
that blew our minds.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
I want to see the honestly people's key experience of
the avca. What is it? What do you doing? Which part?

Speaker 11 (42:56):
But wow, no avocado, remember kids.

Speaker 8 (43:00):
No.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Two of the most satisfying things in the kitchen. One
if you can an iceberg letters right, and you hold
it in your hand and you bang it down the
bench to crash that call, then pull the core out
of it. I love doing that.

Speaker 18 (43:17):
I've actually never done it because I don't.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
And the other very satisfying thing you gotta be careful
of as cutting an avocado, then holding it in your hand,
and then getting the knife and adding the knife into
the stone, and then and removing the stone. Now you've
gotta be careful because they reconmend surgeons. Most of their
work they do is to do with people that have
damaged their hands from trying to get out the avocado. Pip,

(43:44):
you're incredibly dangerous.

Speaker 18 (43:46):
What would you have in your perfect sellers?

Speaker 2 (43:49):
M Ah, you know, it's a good question, and I
don't necessarily it's too broad for me to answer at
the stage. I don't think I could just i'd have
to have more of a vision and go. I love

(44:10):
a good sealer. But I just yeah, I just can't
work out what the what the hero? No, what the
kind of the what particular ingredient? I'm celebrity and how
these days they do about the hero aspect of the dish.
I can't work out one, but I'm going to put
in there, so I will think about that and I'll
come up with something. Yeah, quite, I think what that

(44:34):
would be. Marcus. The iceberg lettuce is called white trash Shallat.
It's loved by everyone. Marcus, did you see you hub at? Six?
Old Mike mc roberts almost looked on toxic and have
never seen him stumble his words. And I think they're
all quite sick. I was just reading during the news

(44:55):
about them. They've all got some sort of virus, they saying.
So that's what's happening for them. Kumera by Yaya and
the Snakes is brilliant. There you go, it's worth watching.
It's well shot, and she's not in the Kumula, the
woman that plays the part of it. We're talking salads.

(45:16):
You don't make friends with salad. Who was at bart
Simpson Anyway? I don't know what my ideal salad would be,
because Campbell, I hope you're still listening. I think probably that.
I mean, it's probably a cliched salad. But if you

(45:37):
chuck pear and walnut and blue cheese and with probably
a spinach leaf, I know that's probably I'm thinking northwester
Cafe Ambly or something like that, but always goodly pear
and walnut and blue cheese together, that'll elevate it. Now,
I'm a sucker for that. Anything that's got pomegranate pipson,

(45:59):
I'm a sucker for that. I think one of the
other class salads are the things that go together.

Speaker 5 (46:08):
Well.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
I don't love a Waldorf, but I wouldn't turn my
nose up at it. I think that's walnuts and apple,
caesar el eat. I can't think how many salads. I
won't eat anything with raisins, and I'm not going on
potato salad. I think it's seen its day, kuma or

(46:30):
bacon salad. I'd probably say no to a lot of those,
a bit too sort of mayonnaisy. Anyway. Oh, I'm glad
I've had such a chance to talk about salads on
the one hundredth anniversary of the Caesar. But yes, no,
I think, Sorry Campbell, I wish i'd go. I mean,
it was very kind of you to ask me that question,
to give me a chance, and I was looking, But

(46:51):
I think that's what it would be. At the stage.
You'd be the pear and walnut and blue cheese. I
think that's all. Would you put different sort of a
cheese in?

Speaker 3 (47:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
I think you put rocket and with that. Actually, someone
said I think it will be a rocket salad, told
Elon Musk, not the yeah there you go. Oh goodness,
there we are all on about salads. When was the
last time we did a show on salads? Only this
time they were talking sardines. So there are shots of
all the leaders in the UK going voting hand in

(47:28):
hand with their wives, because most of them are men
and most of them are married to women. I don't
know if Nijel Farage of who he's hand in hand
with the devil. I haven't seen a shot of him
yet as I am scrolling through. So lib Dems could

(47:51):
be there, they'll be unlikely Conserveers around nineteen percent. Reforms
on fifteen. Lib Dems are on eleven. Labors on thirty
seven percent. Funnily enough, under Corbyn, thirty seven percent would
have lost them the election. So obviously the parties there
are splintered, and also too they have the arcanery of
it first past the post system. The best shot so

(48:16):
far is the monks from Sankta Maria Abbey and East
Lothian cast their votes. Always good to get a shot
of monk's voting anyway. Oh wait, ten eighties any moments Marcus,
welcome hedill twelve he'd on midnight tonight, looking forward to
what you want to talk about? Many salads? Oh, here

(48:39):
we go, Marcus, KFC bean salad. This one disappeared like
a bowler. Where are they today? I don't know that
a bowler is gone. I think the thing about a
bowler is it so deadly that it doesn't spread far
because half the people that get it then die, So

(49:00):
you're not sort of traveling on planes much, but you're
bleeding from the eyes. Doesn't sayd good, does it? Marcus?
Pretty good? Salad? Night four degrees tonight and willing to
not sure the local force will be selling to me.
Littus Waldorfs is my favorite from the hotel by the
same name. David. Nice to hear from you, David. My

(49:21):
name is Marcus. With it till twelve tonight, Salads that
pains good. Go check out that pain on Facebook. Yeah yeah,
and the snakes they're good. Shah Marcus, welcome, Hi.

Speaker 17 (49:40):
Shah him Marcus. How are you going good?

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Show? You got all right?

Speaker 17 (49:44):
I'm pretty good, alright, Matte. Look, I was just calling
to talk about my two bits. Look, honestly, based on
the debate that had happened between Trump and Biden, either
of two things. If the Democrats have got it, I
have got the basic sense they'll get him out of
the ticket. If if Byron doesn't go out by himself,

(50:05):
the only reason would be that is going to stand
back to protect the son answer from the lawsuits. These
are the only two things I can see that he's
going to go out, And if he doesn't go out,
it will be purely because of hunters.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
I would imagined that what will happen is the people
that are the big donors will pull their money before
too long and it will become obvious that he'll need
to with if he can convince the donors. I think
he's all right, but I don't know that. I mean
people are going to throw millions of dollars to canduct
that I think it can win.

Speaker 17 (50:35):
Yeah, another thing you need to think about. You're absolutely right.
But another thing to think about is that if he
does go out, the old campaign funding that he's got now,
the only person who's got access to that is Kamala
Harris and it's definitely don't want her. So they're another
sup of conundrums that, look, he's got all these campaign funds,

(50:56):
campaign funds with him. If he's out, then Kamela is
going to get access to it, but they don't want her.
Then who are they going to bring marcut That's a
huge question as well.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Nice to hear from you, Sham. Thanks from much twenty
one away from ten, keep it going if you do
want to talk. Someone says the best place to get
a nice scarf? It's a good question, Actually, whe would
you get a nice scaf? I don't know what shops
you go to to get a good start, good good scarf, Marcus.
It would be interesting a program on tiny houses? Is

(51:27):
it worth living in one or helpful with a house
in shortage? Regards Jeanette, I don't know too much about
tiny houses. It all depends if you've got land, because
I'm quite often seeing people on Facebook advertising for places
where they can park their tiny houses. So I guess

(51:48):
what's happening. They've got themselves set up in a tiny house,
and then in fact that deals fallen through, so the
desk we're trying to find another place to put their
tiny house. And it seems that people are charged and
put on a ground rent just to park their house.
And then I wonder what the advantage of it is.
You have to be a fairly self contained person of

(52:09):
in a tiny house, and I think you'd want to
be in one of the early days of a relationship
because it would be fairly or maybe there'd be a
good time to be in the early part, but not
the later part of relationship. Not much place to go
for any me time in a tiny house, I'd be
worried someone was going to steal it too. Did you

(52:33):
get up one day and you're not where you want
to be? Chemists often have lovely scarves in the gift
wed apartment.

Speaker 5 (52:44):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I've never ever ever thought of buying a scarf, although
I've got five of them. I don't know why I
became someone that was big on scarves, never wear one.
I think a man that wears a scarf, even from
a university days, I always judge someone that wore as
I've always thought that was sort of on some sort

(53:08):
of poor doctor who kick or they sort of fencured
themselves as landed gentry. Yeah, difficult garment to wear, well,
I think anyway, good even tom it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (53:26):
Oh hey hey Marcus, how's it going good?

Speaker 2 (53:28):
Thanks? Tommy?

Speaker 3 (53:29):
You're right, yeah, I.

Speaker 9 (53:31):
Guess yeah, No, I was just I was just loving
the topic today about salads. Man, it's really up my alley.
But I just also just listening. But I just wanted
to call because I don't know, I think I kind
of agree with what you said about yah yah and
the snakes kind of coming on here, and you know,
the loose association with between salads and kumera, and then

(53:54):
you know in the fourth square one of the four
video in the video, I mean in the.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Four Squeaze hundred in the four Squeeze hundredth birthday, Well,
when was that today?

Speaker 6 (54:07):
No way?

Speaker 9 (54:08):
Really?

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Yeah? Yeah, it's it all ties.

Speaker 9 (54:11):
Out time, isn't it. Do you think they planned that?

Speaker 2 (54:17):
I don't know. It sounds like you might be associated
with them. Are you you're part of the phone trail?

Speaker 10 (54:21):
No?

Speaker 9 (54:22):
No, no, no no, because I was thinking that it's
just you know, like I thought you said. You know,
I don't agree with what you said. It sounds like
because you know Glastonbury, like you said, as people get
a bit desperate with the promotion there, and I just
thought you should be stepping to the sticking to the topic.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Yeah, well, I just I just think a lot of
a lot of people there was no couple of years
ago Glastonbury there was a there was a singer that
got the young guy on stage that knew the lyrics.
Do you remember that video?

Speaker 4 (54:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (54:54):
That can you reminy There was a kid.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
At Glastonbury in a pair of Saint Jermaine Jersey right,
oh yes, And there was a rep there was a
was it Stormsy or Suffrage who it was? And he
got the guy on stage to do the and the
guy knew the song perfectly and it was ext Do
you remember that? It was one of those videos you
watched thought, that's amazing. Do you remember that?

Speaker 9 (55:13):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 12 (55:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (55:14):
Well, would you say that the two things are quite similar?

Speaker 6 (55:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:18):
But now people with all their are looking for some
sort of virality with the videos like they like Coldplay
brought Michael J. Fox on. I thought that was pretty desperate.
Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (55:34):
Right?

Speaker 9 (55:34):
Well yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, right.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Did you see that?

Speaker 9 (55:38):
I mean, no, no, no, but I totally understand what
you're saying. I mean, I can understand the situation there,
and yeah, and I was listening to that and kind of,
you know, just the correlation kind of thought, you know,
is it the same thing? I mean, I just thought
this that was a bit cheap. You know, they just
had they have a gag in a week and then
they call you guys up and you.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Know, okay, thank you, Tom sixteen to ten minameers, Marcus,
welcome eight hundred nine nine two text, what's happening?

Speaker 3 (56:09):
What are you got?

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Give me your best shot? Cheepers and the Nral the
eighteenth theme North Sydney Bears combined. Someone said, really nice
scarves at Palmer's Garden Center. Only good place to buy
scarves any farmers market, all natural wool, soft lambs, wool

(56:29):
lama and usually homespun fibers and knitted stunning So news
in and so warm support our farmers love love Yah
Yah and the snakes. I reckon the best thing to
get a good scarf is from a craft shop run
by old people, and you get a scarf sometimes when

(56:53):
they are just trying to use excess wool, and it's
quite it's made with love, but the quality of the
knitting is kind of you know, like some it varies
in with the whole way. But we'll go from a
different colors. That's the one you want, I know, just
the shop in Dunedin a long scarf, different ends of wall,

(57:15):
different colors and some of the color combinations go together
well and some of them not crazy. That's what you want.
Feel quite stronger about that. Marcus should get a good
scarf from Walk with Coconut gallery or audio a coconut
gallery mainly women's scarfs, beautiful ones. Is it everent a
man's scarf and a women's scarf? I don't know the

(57:37):
answer to that. I guess a woman's scarf is finer.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Marcus? Your thoughts on the neuros, fair STARp and flight
flight Fight and Formula one monthy it's a real blind
spot to me. Formula one I just don't know anything
about it. It's not what I'm about, I know, people
love it. I just haven't. It hasn't really grabbed me.
I don't know why I can't kind of find the
connection to get into it. None of the driver is

(58:08):
really a responded to their personality. See, I can't quite
work out why it is. Maybe it's the time of
night it's on. But I know people are unbelievably passionate
about it. So haven't we got any thoughts about that? Anyway?
That's my formula on My thoughts on formula one. But

(58:30):
thanks for asking someone SI way to buy a good scarf?
Any suggestions about scarfs? Sometimes you want to buy something
that you can't you go to a hol of shops.
I don't have them, don't they. I understand why someone
would be interesting because those sort of shops have gone.
The place should find scaffs. I'd probably buy one online

(58:54):
like ice Break or something had some good quality woolen ones. Anyway,
don't quote me give you one of mine, Marcus. I
have found an intrigue into if One from the Netflix doco,
which was pretty incredible. I have followed if one since
following Lewis now Sir Lewis Hamilton, the only face amongst

(59:17):
the toxic bunch of Europeans. The machines they drive use
little fuel, their hybrids and lots of tires. Completely hoped
if one TV is ninety nine dollars per year, Marcus,
we go to UK September planning to look for scarves
Ireland and Scotland, Shetlands. I wonder if they're still here
we go. I wonder if they still make their wool

(59:38):
and goods, so if they're important, if they're made overseas,
the woolen wear and the Shetlands and things. Anyway, ten
past ten mine of ers. Marcus welcome scarves and salad.
It seems to be the shows brought to us by
the letter S. He'd love to be able to make
a scarf. I've kind of I've kind of always been

(01:00:03):
keen on learning to, but never really actually applied it.
So what's that say. I guess I'm not that keen really,
But if you find those crafty stalls, I think there's
one in Riverton, you know, a hand knitted stall, there's
always fantastic stuff and often the staff are often the
people that make the stuff aren't really wanting to make
a fortune from it. If they kind of charged an

(01:00:26):
ali rate, they'd cost a fortune. They're normally like forty
or fifty bucks for a scarf. A lot of those
small towns in South and had sort of home craft shops,
whether it be Lumstone or Riverton or Gore, where they've
got great knitters and there's always great scarves. Bennett's Marcus, welcome,
hey market.

Speaker 12 (01:00:47):
How's it hang?

Speaker 8 (01:00:48):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Ben? Here?

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
Good?

Speaker 12 (01:00:50):
Oh yeah? Cold, wrapped up in the blanket, trying to
get warm.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Are you living in your car? Are you living in
your car?

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
No?

Speaker 12 (01:01:01):
I got home late from work and I just tried
to light the fire. So I've just been wrapped down
from the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
I'm hearing you. I'm hearing it.

Speaker 12 (01:01:09):
Yes, you know. Mom's ninety and she knits like a woman.
Oh she should be in a Chinese factory. Knits in
it right now. I remember He's a story four years
ago when I was younger, my brother was playing rugby
for a local rugby came over and mal Florus and

(01:01:31):
playing a team from Sedon. When my brother at that
Tom was playing number eight from Marlborough and he was
a guy Richard Low. He used to play with all things.
He was paying for steed because that's where he was
brought up in the area.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:01:45):
Anyway, so the game was gone on an old stands time,
my mom on the sideline. I don't know about fifteen
at the time. And mom used to carry around and
here with you. So she'd be staying on the sideline
watching the game with a big sort of under an
arm in one head, doing a knitting watching this game. Right.
The next thing, the players come over towards us, and

(01:02:09):
my brother was tackled right right in front of us
on the outline, right there in front of us, and
that Richard, because he was a bit of a yeah yeah,
he come over and he died for my brother as well,
because he played with him from old as well. He
died for him, just just to be a preck. Anyway,
we could stand up and he lifted his foot and

(01:02:31):
he looked like he's going to stand on my brother's throat.
You know, you look like a dozy, right. I was
just I didn't even take note of her. I was
just like, oh, this is all happening. My mom picked
up a knitting bag with a hand and looked at
Richard and just went And then Richard sort of looked
at her and laughed and walked off. Don't go, I

(01:02:53):
think he played with irantry. But yeah, yeah, I remember it.
But my mom's nicky. Now she still gets the spinning
wheel out really yep, yep, because we've got some moms
a bit of lamb. Got a few black sheep, always
had black sheep for her, and she'll get the wall,
and she didn't do so much. Nowadays she probably buys

(01:03:14):
the wall, but she still spends it. Her brothers are
share so he'll share a bit of wall. He'll clane it,
do whatever they have to do to it. Then she'll
cart it. They get like two wire brushes and do
this thing with it. I'm not sure how it works,
streached it all, full it apart, and then she'll she'll
put in the spinning wheel and she'll do the flowers

(01:03:35):
and make the ball of wool. Then she'll sit there
in Jersey.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
Did you have those jerseys and that undyed natural sheep colored, Well,
they are always a classic farmer's jersey, just in the
old brown willow. They're a classic.

Speaker 12 (01:03:51):
I've got thread in the drawers, but I can't wear
them because I just hate that wall feeling against.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
The sah yeah, the itch. No one likes the edge.

Speaker 12 (01:04:01):
Yeah, but we hit them all when the kids we
had to go to school with those regardless, what the
sign if you want to get warm, you know the
way we go. But she the last few years she's
been making like little booties and little hats for babies,
newborn babies. There's a group of them that do it.

(01:04:21):
I forgets at the Nation White thing where they make
hats all that sort of thing, and they donate them
to the hospital store people that newborn babies and who
seed them or whatever, you know. But yeah, look she's
she can smack out of a jersey in her marria
a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
Is she still on the farm.

Speaker 12 (01:04:45):
No, she's retired now, she's in her home now. Well
you know, but she just loved it, she did. And
funny about it, lis Mark, she don't even need a
lot of it.

Speaker 6 (01:04:55):
I don't even know what you don't even need a
look about when she's I made missing for it.

Speaker 12 (01:05:01):
It's like it's like a teenager with a phone in
their pocket sending a message just naturally.

Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
Do it.

Speaker 12 (01:05:09):
Have you ever seen that? Marcus? Yeah, doing a text
for new pocket?

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Are you calling from? Are you calling from Marlborough?

Speaker 11 (01:05:17):
Now?

Speaker 18 (01:05:17):
Ben?

Speaker 12 (01:05:18):
No, I'm now Marcus, Okay, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Yeah, nice to hear from your ben and join the
discussion knitting and scarves. Hell, look okay, and this is
how long want to take to bang out a scarf?
Would it be three hours? Mind? You're talking three hours?
That's a hundred and eighty dollars with the labor? Is
it these days? And the wall nothing's cheap you put
the mark up, there's not. It's not a way to
make money knitting. I wouldn't think. I don't know how

(01:05:45):
many hours of labor would be in a jersey in
our ten hours? Well, that's cost prohibitive. And then you
get someone who's a hobbist that loves it. Marcus the
Wool Company shop at Uttaku by Tahapi have nice Bruno
possum scarves, neck warmers, hats and gloves. Kraft Fair at
Southend Stadium this weekend should be lots of items for sale.

(01:06:06):
I can highly recommend Untouched World beautiful quality marina and possum.
It's made in christ Jurdge available online in the Amazing
Store with factory in christ which is worth a visit.
My first scarf is fourteen years old and still going strong. Well,
they wouldn't wear out a scarf. Would they would they

(01:06:28):
also possum Marino Weft Factory shop All Bell Street, Chryst Jridge,
Mcandrew's Men's where Ortucky have lambs wool scarfs. Hey, what
about a snood? They're that sort of circular tube of
fabric you what you head through? Wouldn't find me in

(01:06:52):
one of those? Get in touch, Marcus till twelve my name,
that's it. That is Marcus worst salard definitely anything with
cucumber over and out. I know that cucumber is a
problem for people that are super tasters. There's some people
that are super tastes, and if you're a super taster,

(01:07:13):
I think cucumber and coriander you'll struggle with because you
taste them in a different way. For most people. I
think that's the thing. You taste them different. It's kind
of weird, that, isn't it. Marcus. Maybe a bean salad
is cool to salad because it's served cold. Other things

(01:07:36):
are similar, eg. Pasta salad. It's a good point. So
maybe a defining thing of a salad that's served cold
and not between layers of bread, that's a sandwich. Anyway,
anyone got any other anything else? Whenever rant about I
don't think. I feel it's kind of where top it
free tonight the sees is salad, bean salad has been salad.

(01:08:03):
Anything else, get at it and scarves. Marcus, are you
across the New Zealand born woman at Wimbledon? She's Lulu Sun.
She's through to the third realm round. That's the best
Kiwi has done in years. She gets me further to

(01:08:24):
be the best Kiwi ever. I don't know if that's right, sir.
I think Chris Lewis got to the final. But yeah,
she's from Tiano and she's lived in Switzerland most of
her life, but she wants to She came back and
played here and wants to play for New Zealand. So yes,
it's been a strange kind of a day for people

(01:08:46):
of Tiano with one of their stars doing say well
at Wimbledon. But of course too just right next door
at the township of Manipuri, there has been a fatal
fire and they're unsure how many people have died there. Yes,
so that's it was a hell of a news story
to wake up to. And someone's texted me to tell

(01:09:14):
me where the caesar salad originated from. Yes, we know
it's from Tier one. We've spoken to someone today that
they had it there. And if you order a caesar
salad Tiwara, they make it at your table. They come
out with a big wooden bowl and they put in
the anchovs and the garlic and the olive oil and
mix all that up and then they just put the

(01:09:38):
salad on the lettuce, the Romain letters on the place
on the plate, and then just put the dressing on
top of that. Then the coddled egg in seid on
YouTube as with everything. But I need your calls people
tonight if you want to be a part of it.
Anyone out there a super taster. The worst salad is

(01:09:58):
the warm cucumber salad you're get in China. I'll tell
you what. I had some pretty funky salads in Russia,
like quite creamy with like beet treet chopped into cubes
and stuff like pretty full on. Wasn't really my jam,
But when in Rome and you know Russian food, it's

(01:10:24):
probably appropriate to the climate. But yeah, your favorite salad
the worys cell. Have you invented a salad anything, I've
invented a salad. Get at it. My name is Marcus.
Welcome oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty South's over

(01:10:45):
power about a fore nill, that's the rabbits over the
eels or jonats. Marcus, greetings and good evening.

Speaker 14 (01:10:54):
Oh hello, Marcus is Joan here?

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Hi, Joan?

Speaker 14 (01:10:56):
You're talking about hello? How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
Thank you are?

Speaker 14 (01:11:00):
You're talking about salads? And I still like the old,
you know, ordinary letter salad for how boed eggs and
tomato and the homemade mayonnaise. You know that you've got
the user like canets milk and the vinegar and mustard,
and that keeps well on the fridge of his ear tight.
So that's good. And you're gonna add reddishes to that?

(01:11:22):
Do you like reddishes?

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
The love a reddish love, A reddish love, reddish sud
least sliced on vogels toes delicious?

Speaker 14 (01:11:29):
Oh right, you put cheese with it or anything else, just.

Speaker 2 (01:11:34):
The red and even I chucked the reddish leaves on
it as well.

Speaker 20 (01:11:38):
All right.

Speaker 14 (01:11:40):
Oh and some people don't like the rocket. Do you
eat the rocket? You get a lot on cafes.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
Rocket, Ye love anything a bite to.

Speaker 14 (01:11:50):
It, but nutty flavor to her, My friend Glory, I've
just been talking to she doesn't like drink places and
you get that rocket salad, she doesn't. She doesn't like it.
She just won't really, you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Know, Glory needs to Glory needs to broaden her horizons.

Speaker 20 (01:12:05):
I think.

Speaker 14 (01:12:07):
But she won't go out to ty. She won't go
to Thai restaurants. From that Pamela and I took her
to a tie place and she struggled to eat her.

Speaker 20 (01:12:15):
Meal.

Speaker 14 (01:12:16):
But I mean, I go with my Malaysian friend. I'm
going on Saturday shouting her for her birthday, and I
love going to tie in Chinese and it is a
lovely thie salad. They have it on I think it's
the rocket lettuce and then they have rare oh, they
have noodles on it, crispy noodles, and they have it

(01:12:36):
in places like the Boo Tapa and or in some
cafes and they have a sliced steak on it, and
it's really very nice. Yeah, Thaie salad. And they have
a little bit of a oily dressing on it. I think, yeah.
But I mean I mix anything on salad. You know,
if you buy make coldslaw, or you buy it a
delicates from the supermarket, you can add half a red

(01:12:58):
onion to the bowl of the cold slaw. Or you
can add sliced girkins and a pasta salad with chopped
squares of cheese, sliced girkin, red onion with mayonnaise. That's
a lovely salad.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
Now, if you had a lettuce salad like you're making
too about your letter salad right that you make, you'd
be you're of that generation. Would you put this is
not with judgment and said with love? Joane, Would you
put grated carrot and grated cheese on that?

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:13:28):
Yes, I like that very much. Would I love grated carrot.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
With lettuce and grated cheese?

Speaker 14 (01:13:36):
Well, i'd have if I have people here and I'd
put a grated cheese in a bowl and they can
add the greater cheese. Yep, yep, yeah, And it goes
on cold slaw as well. Grated cheese on cold slaws
quite nice. But I always have red onions and may
just lovely in a sandwich in a bread roll or

(01:13:56):
you know that sort of thing you can do. I
sometimes I'm on my own sometimes just have a plate
of salad for tea of salad.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Think of all the stuff glorious missing out on a I.

Speaker 14 (01:14:09):
Know I know, and when I go out, I like, yeah,
I like to have meals that I don't cook at home,
you know what I mean? Heaven absolutely carryon rice or
have a Thie meal or a Chinese Korean. We go
to a Korean restaurant sometimes and it's lovely. I love it. Yeah,
you know, we have to eat.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
We've got to eat. That's exactly right. And you mas
well eat well, you may as well start enjoying more.
You got to broaden your palette. I think it's when
people are unadventurous as a children or what they eat,
then they don't sort of you know, they've become closed minded.
Don't know quite how you kind of extend your palette anyway.
I'll just be fair fear of the unknown. Goodness me anyway,

I think that salad sounds fantastic. I will try that.
We've got kiwi fruit at home. We've got no tomatoes.
I'll pick them up tomorrow. We haven't got any the
hot house, of course two and tomatoes grow. You can
buy them at the shop cheaply. What an amazing anyone

Someone said, that's a salsa, not a salad, Marcus. My
mother used to make a lovely salmon. Said it with
tin salmon and iceberg. Letters also had sliced egg and tomato,
and it very nice, Marcus. Don't think my text got through.

(01:18:54):
I watched a great movie, Feeder A twelve Final Days.
It was about the twenty two days that find his
retirement from tennis. Brilliant inside Roger the Man, what about that?
Someone says, it's not a salad, it's a salsa. The
salta is a dance. Sounds like you wouldn't It sounds

(01:19:14):
like it's don't take this the wrong way. But it
doesn't sound to be like the sort of salad you
want to have if you had cuts on your lip.
Sounds very sort of h yesterday, Raymond, thanks for calling
it to Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Do anything Marcus, I hear you talking about salads all night?
Or one person the head on him, anybody say talking
about is water crease? Get a bit of water crease,
chopped up apple, a bit of cucumber and chopped up

(01:19:55):
we call spring onion. And then you can get a
bit of cheese and just spell a bit of cheese
every time water street, and then and then and then
some homemade homemade salad dressing. And it's and it's awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
Man a watercrease.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
Water cress, chopped apple.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):
And.

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
And and and spring onion and and then and but
the mayonnaise sometimes I swer, but the CD comper in it.
And then and give us, give us that nice peppery taste.
And it's nice because if you pick watercress and you

(01:20:48):
put picket pops, it means it's good water crease. And
you have never picked watercreast when it's bitter.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Horrible when you say pop pops in your mouth, How
do you know it will pop when you pick it
when you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
Go when you go and pick it in the in
the river, it's free, it's free, show rooted. So when
you go to pop it, like pick it in the
in the if it pops, it means it's good. It's
it's it's youngster. And you need to buy it in
amoton in cinema. But you need to buying a lot

(01:21:23):
of feature in places in that and you buy them
in like a big bag.

Speaker 5 (01:21:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
Have you Raymond? Are you in christ Church?

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
No, I'm a metomet Okay. Have you got a source
for where you get your watercress from a river?

Speaker 12 (01:21:41):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
No, I've got to. I've got a find that works
in a quarry and is a nice warm clear stream.
And I go at the end, I pick enough enough
for myself and and he sticks it in. You never
you never pick it when it's flaring, because it's very bitter.

Speaker 12 (01:22:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
I had I planted some watercress. I got a stream
and I planted it. But the stream dried out the
summer and I thought it could handle the jendle, but
unfortunately it's I checked the other day and I thought
it would be sprung back, but it must need the
water the whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:22:15):
A yeah, yeah, my nana up and down space. She
used to have the meanness watercress and I used to
gip on score halways and she used to make a
homemade sealad watercress, and I mean, you can't get it
any fresher than that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
Yeah, we make a watercress soup and it is delicious
and it's just so simple and I can't believe how
good it is. But yeah, of course we got to
get the water crest. I thought i'd have it all
on tap by now, but GI it's good.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
Yeah, if he try watercreas and.

Speaker 6 (01:24:13):
Hi Marcus. Hey you apparently the optimum scarf is Keshre
if you okay, if you if you don't want it's
a prickle or you know, sort of chase. Yeah, so

(01:24:34):
it might be worth looking in the shop.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
I don't I don't think I know what Keshre.

Speaker 6 (01:24:40):
Is, but it's a very fine. No, No, it's sort of
a a uh a mountain cheap type thing. I think, hey, exactly,
you're fine, but a very fine well you know, probably
a bit like it's fine el pecker or a vaikuna

(01:25:02):
is that that's another one that's probably quite good.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
But if you if you, if you have a now
packing meat.

Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
Yeah, I did spent a bit of time in South
America nibbled the white served up.

Speaker 2 (01:25:17):
Yeah, all right, tasteless, it was more.

Speaker 6 (01:25:20):
It was more. It was chopped up in a bit
of a soup with a bunch of other stuff. So
it's sort of yeah, like goat preps. So yeah, but
totally there's up to link for scarves too, totally fifty
five fifty five inches.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
So what's certain met tricks?

Speaker 6 (01:25:40):
Was it? I haven't converted that just well you can
haven't got my little calculating.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
One four meters Yeah, okay, yeah that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (01:25:55):
Gotta have enough for him for it to cross over
a wrap round, but without it hanging out the bottom
of your your check it fo Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
A lot of people kind of thread it around in time.
I think there are tyrrill and I always feel about
who died with a scarf got caught in the car?

Speaker 6 (01:26:12):
That was wasn't that? Some Lawrence Arabia on we'll see
on the on the motorbike? Was it?

Speaker 5 (01:26:19):
It was?

Speaker 12 (01:26:20):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
And that was I know there was a woman. Wasn't
she a famous social life I think or ectress back
about that in those days? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:26:35):
Is it do Duncan?

Speaker 6 (01:26:37):
That's the one. Yeah, yeah, was there as.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
Wasn't there a musician as well?

Speaker 12 (01:26:42):
Oh? Could be?

Speaker 3 (01:26:43):
Could be?

Speaker 2 (01:26:44):
Who was that American musician that died in Britain in
the fifties sixties?

Speaker 6 (01:26:50):
Not no, that doesn't didn't doesn't trigger any with me.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Okay, that might happened.

Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
I was going to touch on tennis. I guess where
the Davis Cup is going to be played in New Zealand?
The next one exotic location? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
Do you want me to really guess?

Speaker 6 (01:27:13):
No, I can tell you it's been you know, you guess.

Speaker 2 (01:27:18):
If you like, Yeah, in North Island or South Island,
North Island, Palmerston.

Speaker 6 (01:27:22):
North there we go, Yeah, and yeah there's indeed, Yeah,
the opponent is Luxembourg. But I think it's the first
time it's been held in Farmy indoors. Corporate tables available?

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
How much?

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
How much for corporate table?

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
I saw that thing come through a while. It was
it was been eight hundred bucks and that was allowed
for quite a few It wasn't didn't seem to be
too bad. There was a one bottle of Bubbly and.

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
Have you put me on?

Speaker 6 (01:27:55):
No, no, I haven't, but I see it. Actually it
had been held in the vocado at some stage.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
I think I do remember that being here, been down here.
It was against some country from Asia, and it's within
recent memory. I think.

Speaker 6 (01:28:15):
Okay, Thailand last year. Yeah, okay, because the class and
farmlies are going to Luxembourg, which I don't know where
they rate aren't things but anyway, we've got to be first.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
But I have to say too that the Davis Cup
used to be a big thing. It's not anymore, is it?

Speaker 18 (01:28:33):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:28:34):
Probably as you get up in the levels, I suppose
it can be. I think it's still regarded pretty highly.
But that we're in group two, I think apparently.

Speaker 2 (01:28:47):
Well you never see the coverage of the final, do you?

Speaker 6 (01:28:51):
Probably? Yeah? No, no, no, probably not unless we're involved.
Perhaps we wouldn't here.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
But are you going? Are you going to go to
it in Palmerston?

Speaker 6 (01:29:06):
I'm not sure? It could be a bit of a
novel tog. Yeah, the I haven't made up behind you know,
I'm not in big tennis fan as such, but it's
it's good. A corporate ring thing. It could be, alright,
not my thing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:22):
I'm going to run, but nice to talk to you.
Nine away from eleven, second half of the rugby start
sixteen four A. What's happening in your world? People? Salads?
What's the strangest salad you've ever had? Marcus. They also
played the Davis couple a couple of years ago in
Harwarder in the neck, Marcus. You wouldn't believe how much

(01:29:42):
they charged for watercress out in Hong Kong. Mind you,
it did come with said bluefin tuna and a few
bottles of sav Marcus. Cameron Petley from Putadad, Thank you.
Oh here we go, Marcus and the Nelson Sally's Family Store.
There's a lady that knits behind the counter. You can

(01:30:04):
ask her anything about knitting. She makes catnip balls, good honor.
It's all about the salads and the knitting knitting, Marcus.
Luxemburg is one of four countries that end with a
unique letter. Iraq is one of the others. What a

(01:30:28):
great question. Four countries that end with a unique letter,
and Gola would it be A. There's another one with
A and ab. Oh, that's got me, that's got me
screwed through the whole news C. What about a country

(01:30:49):
begin with eddie and c oh Luxemburg. Well, that's a
great question. The four countries in the world that end
with a unique letter? Would one be A Angola? Would

(01:31:10):
one be B? Would one be C? It's going to
be hard to work that out. To go to a
list of countries and reverse engineer that. That's a great question.
It's a great question. Did you invent that? We'll see
how well the listeners do with that when they can
text in their answers. No, it's not Angola because there's chitcha.

(01:31:36):
Would it be oh democratic reponent of Congo. I'll work
on that one. Did anyone work that out? Four countries
end with unique letters? What does he ruck? And the
other is Luxembourg? How are you going to go with

(01:31:58):
that one? It's about one hundred eighty countries. Just go
through the list. I tried, but it wasn't getting the
hang of it. I think the answer to the question
is Luxembourg, Bangladesh, Deadmark, Iraq, Although what about Hong Kong?
Is the country maybe not used to be or a principality.
I don't know the answer to it. Marcus Diane from

(01:32:21):
South Africa. He's a lovely salad peel, half a cucumber
cutting to quarters, added to the tuna, feta, cheese, mayonnaise,
white pepper, and ara malt. Actually says aramat. What is that?
It's from South Africa? Aramat is a food. Sea's never

(01:32:45):
heard of it? You ever heard of aramat? Aramat? Because
msg is it?

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Then we have that news editor what the equivalent would be?
Fourteen past eleven? If you want to talk, My name
is Marcus Hadle twelve. Oh, I am across what's happening
in the UK? They vote there? When we wake up
there will be a new prime minister because the Tories
have been in power for fourteen years. David Cameron, Theresa May,

(01:33:25):
Boris Johnson, Live Trusts, Rushie Sunac, although of course Live
Trusts and Rushi Sunac weren't elected. Live Trust gotten there
because Boris Johnson wouldn't stop lying and partying and betting

(01:33:51):
the rules to himself, and then Lived Trust of course
went because she was bringing the country to bankruptcy. So
Rishi Sunac was will become the leader. So all them
have voted. Rushy Sunak and so Ke Stamma voted pictured

(01:34:12):
voting with their wives. And I think the other guy
voted in a tank. Yeah, that's right. Ferrage was in
a tank in a double breasted jacket. With the polls

(01:34:38):
closed in nine hours, so eight o'clock tomorrow morning. You'll
hear that. A big thing in Britain is to take
your dog to the vote, to the polling booth. That's
a thing. It's lots of shots of dogs at polling booth.
Someone went on horseback for British. That's in Devon. A

(01:35:01):
couple of shots of monks voting. Marcus. On Facebook, there
is oh well I will knit for yarn page. Peny
of us knitters around. Thank you for that. But someone
to know where to buy a good scarf. I guess
it depends on what you think is a good scarf,
A warm one or a fashionable one. That would be

(01:35:23):
my question. Marcus. My friend was cleaning up the kitchen
after the twenty eleven christ chitch quake dumps his pantry
on the floor. As he was cleaning up the liquid
mixture of all things smashed up. He was impressed by
the fragrance, a quick taste of the mixture formulated his

(01:35:44):
Earthquake sauce. It's the second most guarded recipe in the world.
I like that a lot, Marcus Beautiful locally designed and
made scarfs by textile designer Francis Richmond from Hunterville. Because

(01:36:05):
she's got a site. Probably I wouldn't mind a scarf
from Hunterville. It's called the scarf Oh they are nice.
It's called the Scarf Shop. Beautiful. What if you do

(01:36:27):
on a machine? Because it's safe. She doesn't want a machine.
I don't know. Good evening, hell, and it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:36:40):
Oh Marcus, I've got a yack hair scarf.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):
Of course you have.

Speaker 16 (01:36:45):
It's beautiful. I got it from it Save the Children's Fund,
a shop in Dargonble which no longer exists.

Speaker 2 (01:36:54):
But yeah, still exists, doesn't it.

Speaker 16 (01:37:00):
It's very soft, beautiful, very warm and just lovely.

Speaker 2 (01:37:04):
Did you say darghole no longer exists.

Speaker 16 (01:37:07):
This is a terrible line, so I'll end it here,
but yeah, yeah, here it's Who's gorgeous?

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
A yx still a thing? Thought? They are mythical Pubby
One of the worst conversations I've ever had. It's interesting
I've forgotten about yx. I kind of thought they were
an imaginary animal. Will what be the yack population? Would

(01:37:35):
there be more than a million? Or will there be
ten thousand? They're like a bison, aren't they? Anyway? Get
in touch? Fourteen million yx? There's a lot of them.
China and mongolia, gorgeous looking things. What about yack milk?

(01:37:59):
Anyone tried yeck milk? Marcus? When I was young under
my father's scarf for the beautiful natural wall, it was
only fifty seven as long as I ran on a wall,
plus it wasn't straight. He still wore it despite its
shortcomings in the car to keep his shoulders on. Pretty
nice of him. I've never knitted since, Nicki Marcus. Chelsea
winter was a great recipe for cumna and bacon salads.
I roast the cumula. Got my last scarf from Zara

(01:38:21):
for men in Palma MAYORCA. Nice time for you with
Yaya and the Snakes and the Lost cumbera Graham from
Campbell's Bay, Marcus, you know between a yak and a bison,
you can't wash your face in a yack. One hundred
anniversary of the Caesar salad. We're talking salads, best and

(01:38:43):
worst Hurrah salads. The other topic of the night is
we're going get a good scarf. I'll tell you what.
I went to the supermarket yesterday and I'm used to
people shopping in hoodies. Half dozen people shopping in dressing gowns.

(01:39:07):
What's that about? I suppose some people don't get dressed
all day? Are they're ready for bid? I don't know
quite what's going on with that. Try not to judge.
Why would you judge? And the British elections are being held,
Well know the results there in seven hours. Although the

(01:39:28):
label we back after fourteen years in the opposition. I
guess the big question who's going to be the opposition party?
It could be Nigel Faraj, it could be the lib Dems,
which I know very little about, but I reckon the
Labor Party is going to have a super majority. You

(01:39:51):
feel sorry for Rish you sooner Comman. He seems incompetent,
But what a poisoned jealousy got he ended? Try to
treat it like a business when we've heard that before. Tom,
it's Marcus. Greetings and good evening.

Speaker 20 (01:40:04):
Good evening, are there?

Speaker 2 (01:40:08):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:40:10):
This new housing thing that this government has brought out
putting people in buildings. I think you're building slums for
the future, like the Gobbles and Glasgow and mid They've
got these places in Sydney. I've seen them in Melbourne.

(01:40:32):
I mean they're shocking your cars down below. I mean,
where do you do your washing? Where do you do
your children when you're living away up in a building.
It's the worst thing that could build for the future.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
Like it's sort of people now do they washing at
those laundromits that kind of have popped up everywhere? It
seems like people have done without the washing machine and stuff.

Speaker 20 (01:40:57):
Well, I think it's the worst thing this government could
have done for housing me. I mean, you live in
a house. I live in a house. Where very lucky
in this country because you can rent a house if
you have a part.

Speaker 2 (01:41:13):
It's kind of It's kind of weird with the whole
balcony for apartments because I never knew there was a
law that apartments needed balconies. I just thought they'd do
that because the people that had bought them would want
a balcony. Otherwise you've got windows that can't open yep.

Speaker 20 (01:41:32):
I mean you if you ever see China, have a
look at it. It's just a big building with windows
in it, and that's how they host them in China.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
Would you do the other? The other thing probably is that?
And is it? It's a lot of buildings without high rise,
buildings without balconies, and probably windows that can't open. You're
much more reliant on electricity and heat pumps and fuel

(01:42:04):
to cool your buildings, which has all sorts of greenhouse
guest concerns as well.

Speaker 20 (01:42:10):
I mean, I've seen a show of what little while
ago that I reckon this is the disaster for the
future with climate change, with buildings that no windows are
open and you're totally relying on heat pumps or air conditioning.
What happens when the air conditioning bricks down you got
forty degrees and you're in a.

Speaker 2 (01:42:31):
Building, or if there's a solar storm and the whole
grid shuts down.

Speaker 20 (01:42:36):
Yes, and that's I've seen a show about that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
Yeah, no, no doubt, I mean it, certainly it's a concern.

Speaker 20 (01:42:45):
This, This is why they got rid of the CEO.
This guy. This government has got no idea to.

Speaker 2 (01:42:53):
Do with Tom. Have you been listening? Have you been
listening to this? Because you're coming. I mean, I appreciate
your passion, but you're sort of coming in from a
bit of a tangent.

Speaker 20 (01:43:02):
Well, I'm deaf from one ear for a off.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
So you can't listen of the radio.

Speaker 20 (01:43:08):
I can listen to the radio, but I have to
have it up loud.

Speaker 2 (01:43:12):
Okay, I understand.

Speaker 20 (01:43:14):
I cannot hear how loud my voice is. It happened.
It happened in Wau when I was doing my military training.
I trained on a lot of weapons. And it's also
happened to do with the building trade. So veterans, you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:43:34):
You wouldn't You wouldn't wear a defenders, would you?

Speaker 4 (01:43:38):
No?

Speaker 20 (01:43:38):
There was nothing.

Speaker 10 (01:43:39):
There wasn't anything.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
And those have you had? Have you had? Have you
got hearing aids?

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:43:48):
I've got hearing it with a speaker and my left ear,
and it gives me two hearing aids. They were supplied
with veterans affairs. Please it's classed as a war injury.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
That's upsetting. We were doing compulsory military service.

Speaker 20 (01:44:11):
Yes, for Vietnam.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
We're drawn at a ballot.

Speaker 20 (01:44:16):
Yes, me and my twin brother went to Waaru. What
a waste of money that was.

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
I can imagine, Helen. We're there for three months and
was it negligent that you were both saw beside the
guns as the howitzers or whatever they went off, were you.

Speaker 20 (01:44:34):
I fired bazookas, I fired rocket launchers, submachine guns, a
five steam guns, five brain guns, a fire grenades, and
the whole time goes there. And don't forget there was
no ear protection whatsoever. I fired the armorlite when the
app there you are. That tells you there's how stupid

(01:44:56):
war is. The armorlite was America brought the armor light
in because it was a high velocity bullet right went
at such a speed and you could do more damage
to the human body and it takes more resorts. They
didn't want to kill people, they wanted to wound them,

(01:45:18):
because it takes more resources to look after the wounded
than dead people. And that was why the amelite was
bought in. If you fired that SLR which I fired,
that would kill you. But if you fired the amelite,
you could survive the amelite because it was going at

(01:45:41):
such speed.

Speaker 2 (01:45:43):
And terrible And that was the American forces us that
in Vietnam, the amelite.

Speaker 20 (01:45:51):
Yes, and that was a New Zealand. I've got a
brother in law who went to Vietnam. He's got more damage.
At the moment, he sleeps most of the day. He
was in Victor Company. That was why they brought an
agent ons and they dropped it with the fifty two

(01:46:11):
bombs fifty to fifty. I can't pronounce it. They dropped
it with the bombers to poison all the vegetation and
Vietnam starve them out.

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
I'm familiar with that.

Speaker 20 (01:46:23):
That was America's and that stuff was made in New Zealand. Yes,
so we're not squeaky clean. We're not squeaky clean whatsoever.
But this is why this was I was my ear

(01:46:44):
was called by war damage and also the building trade.
There was no protection in the building trade island for
your ears. And that's why you probably people are hearing
me they think I'm angry of things.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
Yeah, I appreciate the explanation to thank you for that.
I guess we're talk about other stuff as well too,
so but look nice to hear from you. I found
that interesting. Marcus, equal aments of cumna and orange, small
amounts of red onion freshman, not a dressing. Young Marcus
did a school project on y X many years ago.
Very underrated and very underrated animal, versatile, strong and sometimes friendly.

(01:47:26):
Why have we got near the zoos? Marcus and Linn Moore?
I saw a beautiful woman shopping and flannelet pajamas with
high heels and a handbag and full jewelry and makeup.
Love your show, Sandy or Lynn Moore. All happens at
Lynn mal. It's been a lot of my life at
Lynn Mall, one of the great malls to the People's Mall,

(01:47:52):
that one good food court. We had to have a
