Bombay on ramp. The crash was reported around six fifteen oh.
Serious injuries reported. That will be disruptive. Get in touch.
My name is Marcus Hittle. Twelve. Anything goes Oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to text,
looking forward to what you've got to say? You get

(01:00):
amongst it? Have you got anything at all? Let's be
hearing from you. Oh, eight hundred eighty to eighty and
nine two nine two to text. Whoo eight o seven, Well,
how's my temperature? Good of the room?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
There is a heavy rain warning for the western south
of South Island. I can tell you that also northwest
gales for the Canterbury High country. So there we go.
There's that also eight hundred and eighty Teddy nineteen nine
to text pure. But do get in touch if you
want to be a part of it. Now, what am

(01:39):
I going to start with tonight? There's quite a bit
happening tonight, and I want to explore that more fully
later on. Yeah, let me just have a sip of
my coffee. I can tell you today it is the
anniversary of the Led Zeppelin album, the fourth album, the

(02:02):
untitled one, that was released in nineteen.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Two.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Just so you know, that's a big deal. It's not
the fiftieth anniversary, but the Yadi Yadi yady one. Let
me just check that there was seventy two seventy one
eighth of November, So there we go, it's the anniversary
of that today. I can also tell you too tonight
that this Sunday is the commemoration of the wreck of

(02:32):
the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and normally on this
day we play the song the reck of edvan Fitzgerald,
So no doubt at the end of the show sometimes
we will play that. Also. The legend lives on from
the Chippleware down of the Big Lake they call getch Goomy.
So that's happening also, so we will honor that. Sometimes

(02:56):
we might do a course, we might play the song,
we might do something along those lines. It will be
recognized and Stairway to Heaven will also be recognized also tonight,
get in touch if you want to come through and
talk about any of those things as we begin the
show tonight, if there's anything else you want to get
in touch with eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine two de text looking forward to what

(03:18):
you want to talk about tonight, and there is plenty actually,
and I've got good things to talk about. By the way,
this day, in twenty sixteen, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton
to become the US president. So yes, the first Tuesday
in November takes a number of different forms in different days.

(03:42):
So this day also, once upon a time, was the
first Tuesday in November anyway, by the way, too, they're
also they're also I would imagine there'll be fireworks tonight.
I think some people will have held them over from
Tuesday through till Saturday or to Friday and Saturday, so
tonight there should be fireworks or there could be fireworks.

(04:05):
I'm not saying that will, but just be prepared for
that to happen. So if your dogs had a tough
week or your cats had a tough week, that might continue.
I reckon fifty percent of the people have held their
fireworks back for tonight and tomorrow night, so that is

(04:26):
something that you might want to be aware of tonight. Also. Yeah,
so there you go. I feel remorse tonight. I've got remorse,
fish and chip remorse. Maybe once a year I felt, oh,
fish and not good. What I think was I don't
know what it was. I think next year, over time,

(04:47):
you just perhaps it's not a dish you go back to.
I don't quite know what that's about. The fish and
chip remorse. Two bits of cod, few chips. Maybe you're
outgrowing that might be what I'm thinking about. That might
be what I need to say about that one anyway.

(05:08):
Cord card, card, card card. So I brought something reinteresting
today beyond the fish and chips. I bought something I've
never bought before, and I think it might be life changing.
I wonder if anyone can guess what that was that
I've bought today. I actually bought two of them, which

(05:32):
means it's not a big item like cars or something
like that. I brought two of these things, and I
imagine when you find out what they were, there'll be
plenty of talk back about these. I just wonder if
you can guess what those two things I bought were today,
and I'll tell you. I'll give you a clue. They're
not things I've ever gone on about on the show.

(05:53):
It's something brand new, but I have been hugely curious
and today I have purchased them. Now I send you
text through or call your text through if you reckon
what you can guess. And to be fair, I brought
them an in the cargo or not in bluff, but

(06:17):
they are available in smallish towns and I bought two
of them. And if you've got an idea what those
things are, yeah, you might even need to ask me
a question and answer it honestly. We might have to
eliminate it with a yes no question. By the way, too,
so that they're going to throw everything at you in

(06:37):
a random way. Today is the birthday of Lady Louise Windsor.
She is twenty one. She must be the perhaps eldest
child of Prince Edward. She's the one that's had operations

(06:59):
on her eyes. Could her eyes look inwards? I'm not
saying that's not speculation, but you might recognize her for that.
She's got esotropia where both eyes go inwards. It's not
something I know much about, but anyway, meaning inwood and

(07:21):
trope are turning, that's what that's one is. So that's
why you might recognize her. But it's her twenty first today.
So it's all happening. We've got lead Zepp's untitled album,
it's fifty three years old. We've got the wreck of
the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald happening on Sunday forty

(07:42):
nine years ago. We've got fireworks probably going off for
Guy Fawkes. And I've brought two things, so I think
we'll be of interest to you once I tell you
what they are. But I won't going to tell you
what they are until you have guessed.

Speaker 5 (07:56):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Three people have texted through crocs. Oh these are quite good.
What people have suggested cheese rolls. No viagra. No, I
don't think you'd purchased viagra, would you If I'd got viagra?
I say, guess what I picked up a subscription for today.

(08:21):
I don't think it's called viegra anymore?

Speaker 6 (08:22):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Because an ad on the TV and the kids asked
me what it was. I think it's called I can't
remember what it's called. I changed the subject. They weren't
plastic bag sealers. They weren't fluffy handcuffs. They weren't doneath
custard squares. Do they need two and have to work

(08:45):
in pears? No, you don't need two of them. No,
they're not crocs. Two people have thought I might have
brought crocs. They're not nutribe billet neutral bullets, and it's
not something you eat. I brought two of them, and

(09:05):
it's then you eat. They don't work as a pair.
I think we've got an exciting guessing game. So don't
work as a pair. Although I bought two of them,
and they're not edible, and they're not bootwarmers. But I'm
enjoying this. Well, would I buy boot warmers? Are they
boot warmers or boot What is a boot warmer? Oh,

(09:28):
that's a boot dryer, I think people. I don't know
if it's called a boot warmer. It's not one of
those anyway, if you think you can guess, oh, eight
hundred and eighty taty and nine to nine to text
if you think you can text it through nine to
two nine two, or keep dialing nine two. I should

(09:49):
say that would be the easiest way to mention that one.
Just bearing in mind there is that crash out and
about around about Bombay. Can't wait for the all Blacks.
That's nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I've never known a test
to be nine o'clock on a Saturday morning. What a
great time, What a fantastic time. We're guessing the two

(10:11):
things I bought today? And believe you me, Believe me?
You believe you?

Speaker 7 (10:15):
Who is this?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Believe you me? I've never said that. You'll be interested.
Here's what people have said that they think I've bought today,
Deep Frier bean bags, vapes, garden gnomes, Donald Trump, bobbleheads,

(10:39):
Fijoa trees, Frank Green water bottles. I don't know what
they are, and I'm friendly googling that. Never heard of those?
Oh yeah, is that a thing? Never heard of a
Frank Green water bottle? Wow? What's that about? So already

(11:05):
I'm learning Frank Green. Never heard about that. It's a
New Zealand thing. No, anyway, I want to know more
about Frank Green that's what someone has suggested. Something for
your boys. Air fryers, times to electric bikes, dogs, deck,

(11:30):
camping chairs, two pills suggested bean bags, which is weird,
different numbers, a man scaper, an advent calendar, a surfboard,
a TV O heater, air fryers, salt and pepper, shaker's
wedding ring, hammock, cookbooks, pup tents, reading glasses, pillows, mankinis

(11:53):
for the hemen of the house. Two pillow cases. Lead
Zeppelin called themselves that name in case it went down
like a lead balloon. BRender oil lamps for emergencies. These
are all very good. Camping chees e bikes, electric frying pen,
lambs will seek covers to Canada geese, a few more alpeckers,

(12:13):
a power tool or EarPods. None of them are in close.
I bought two things. Yes, Peter Marcus.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Welcome, Yeah, how are you Marcus? Just a shot out
of the dark. They're coming back again. A couple of
carpet sweepers, not the maciumaca. It's quick and easier. Carpet sweepers.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
All these things I wish I was buying. When did
you know they're coming back?

Speaker 7 (12:49):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
My daughter in Laura about six months ago. She said, oh,
preacher said you could do just to whip around now
and again a carpet sweeper. I said, they back, and
I think she bought them at Brisco's. Yeah they're back
again now, really? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Because why did they Why did they ever go away?

Speaker 4 (13:17):
The only reason I can think, obviously the vacuum cleaner
came and and the sort of just took over, like
a lot of things do.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I always quite like dumb carpet I always thought that
quite a useful kind of a thing.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Oh yeah, you could we see him along? Didn't?

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Oh no, I didn't buy one of those, But now
I'm thinking I wish I.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Had you, Criscoes.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I think it was either that or the warehouse, one
of the two.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And now and then they've probably got a sale to
But you think I think I prefer a carpet sweeper
to one of those old, those robo vacuum cleaners. They
freak me out. What's this do with Frank Green? Is
it a keeping? What's that about? I kind of think
I've missed some hype here. The Frank Green origin story

(14:09):
must be an Australian thing, is it anyway? No, it's
not what I've bought. It's not a Once you hear
what I've brought, you'll be excited. I think you will be.
Electric toothbrushes, No a mega hat, no Dan Carter's, non
fungible tokens, No a partridge in a pear tree, no

(14:33):
sun hats. No, but I think we'll get it. Binoculars,
no walking sticks, no egg coddlers, no wristbands, no two deergates,
no candles, four candles, cray pots, a summer duve, wooden

(14:56):
coat hangers, two lotto tickets, two microwave toasted sandwich. You
make is all? These are good guesses, but none of
them are quite right. You can ask me a question
two if we may as well turn this into a game.
I haven't brought solar panels. I think all these guess

(15:18):
is tremendous. I haven't brought cockbooks or salt and pepper shakers,
or binoculars or sun hats, or tickets to the circus,
or audies for the children, or a donkey and a
folding ruler or extendable tramping poles. I'd never buy audies
for the kids. The kids to got uddies, and they
always go to school and they very rarely put the

(15:40):
uddies away, and it's not good. I don't really want
to shame my children on the air, but and I
shouldn't actually, because they've got no right to reply. I
let a box. It's a good question. No, and I
don't bring by COVID masks either. I will give you

(16:00):
a clue. No, I won't give you a clue. I'll
give you a clue. Bitcoin. How much is a bitcoin?
If I bought two of them? It's a really good question.
The trouble with bitcoin is where do you keep it?

(16:23):
I think two bitcoin would have cost one quarter of
a million dollars one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars,
so it would have been expensive for two bitcoin. I
didn't buy those. But all these guesses are tremendous, So
you can email those guesses through too. Will narrow it down.

(16:45):
We'll get the I'm not gonna I'm not going to
not tell you tonight. I'm not going to spend the
whole show guessing it. Although it is that, it is that.
What does the word esoteric mean? It's not esoteric, it's
sort of it's not abstract. It's just I'm surprised. I

(17:05):
bought them. Yeah, I'm very surprised I bought them. So
there we go here till midnight. My name is Marcus.
A letterbox, fold up fish, fileting table, his in her
b days, torch, two drones, sun umbrellas. Marcus, don't talk

(17:33):
to about Frank Green. A co walker has brought up
teen dozen Frank Green products? Have you brought a lamb Lama?

Speaker 3 (17:38):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Have you heard of Frank Green? Tell me? Is it
a recent thing? Is an ozzy thing? Is it? Okay?
Sounds terrible? Brand of reusable coffee cups and home where
talking high schools? We're certainly not down in bluff. That's
the situation. Ugg boots, two big macs. Yes, it is

(18:04):
something I've never owned before. Very good question appeared to
answer questions. Gold mining pans, no ancient antique mandarin cheers,
no battle boards, no two ounces of gold. No can
you eat what you bought? No two nannies, no two houses,
no mouthguards, no front light lashes for your car. I

(18:25):
wish guinea pigs. No two bush shirts, no two punets
of strawberries. No do they come as a peer or
are they better as a peer?

Speaker 6 (18:35):
At No?

Speaker 2 (18:36):
I just found them, I thought I'm gonna have two
of those. I was so excited remote control cars. No,
they're all extremely good guesses. Now at that frantic stage
in my an eighth of the way through my show
that I'm slightly paniced that we're not going to say.
It's gonna be a disappointment. But that's all right. I've

(18:59):
disappointed you before. I am sure it wasn't a Christmas
tree or Christmas light, and it wasn't a wetsuit or
fishing rods. By the way, I've come to work and
the Christmas tree is up, which has slightly triggered me.
Not a huge fan of Christmas trees at work. I

(19:25):
don't quite know why, not why they've put it up,
by why I struggle with it. Do they come as
a pair other, No, they don't come as a pair.
Do they have any form of expiry date?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Do you wear them? No two Botox treatments, no two canoes,
no Swandrise, no fridge magnets, no Trump blow up dolls,
no guitars, no milk frother is, no novelty fridge magnets,
no kayaks, no do you wear it? No knuckle dust is,
no new tires for the cart No, led torches. All

(20:01):
these things are things that I've talked about buying and
wanted to buy. Did your partner agree with what you bought?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Two wiper blades no. Is it a boomerang?

Speaker 6 (20:11):
No?

Can you fit it in your car to take home? Yes?
Two pieces of reading glasses no? Would they fit inside
a shoe box yes? A digital sundial no? Can you

wish love a car apron. Why are we talking about
car aprons? Car floor mats?

Speaker 8 (20:58):
No?

Speaker 2 (20:58):
A unicycle and a clown suit no? Can you plug
them in?

Speaker 8 (21:01):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Electric toothbros. No car sick covers.

Speaker 9 (21:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Are there type of tool? Gosh, someone's guessed it. Someone
has guessed it. Goodness me, I'm speechless. Someone has guessed

(21:25):
what I bought? Flip twenty five to nine Herald. It's Marcus.
Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
Oh good Eve, mean Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Thank you? Harold.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
Yeah, it's something I've already wanted and I figured would
be walkie talkies.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Oh yeah, because you would buy two of them too,
wouldn't you.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
You would buy two of them and they fit their
two box.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, although these things don't You didn't these things they
would work just as one and I did buy two
of them.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
Yeah, you can buy two of them and you get
another two and it'd be good for you and your
wife and you and your kids and shaved your buddy
because you can use a walkie talkie instead of your telephone.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
When did you last have kids, Harold?

Speaker 7 (22:09):
I super and cheap bottles as well.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
We have had kids recently, and yeah, we have had
walkie talkies. I mean anything with kids are disaster because
they either leave them on on the batteries run out,
or you can't find one of them, or the batteries
go acity in them. That we had walkie talkies about
five years ago. But it's not walkie talkies, Harold. But
thank you so much for that. Twenty four to nine okay,

(22:36):
And the texts keep rolling in but one person actually
got it right. Yeah, and I'm just incredulous out of
everything in the world that you could guess that I
bought other this would go for four hours. Someone's guessed it.
And the only clues I gave were you couldn't eat it.
I bought two of them and they'd fit in the car.

(22:57):
That's all the clues I gave. And I've never mentioned
what they were before, So that's remarkable that someone's come
up with. There were about four hundred texts and someone
said the person had got it who guessed it as
a secret listener. No, because I brought my self checkout.

(23:17):
I brought them at the supermarket New World, Ellis Road
and they were two No, I don't want a drum roll,
they were two scrub daddies. So yeah, there we go.
So that's the situation. And I have been on Yeah,

(23:39):
and look, let me tell you about them. This is
quite a big deal, right, So scrub daddies. I got
found myself watching early episodes of The Shark Tank and
the scrub Daddy was on The Shark Tank about I
don't know what year it would have been, the American ones.
It called the Shark Tank there's a British one called
something Different, and so what happened? This guy goes on

(24:02):
the Shark Tank and I'll find out what a year
it actually was. I feel it might have been about
twenty thirteen, and I might have got that wrong. But
what the shark dead, what the scrub dad is? And
I keep transposing shark and scrub but what it is?

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I just don't do my research as I talk, so
because these will change your life. It was on twenty
twelve this guy goes on Shark Tank, and for those
that don't know Shark Tank, it's the American show where
you present product to slightly unlikable people, not nearly as

(24:43):
unlikable as the British or the Australian ones on the
similar show that might have a different name, but I fact,
I think one's called the Dragons Did and one's called
Shark Tank. I don't know what that's about, feeling the
story is too confusing anyway. Anyway, in twenty twelve, this
guy goes on Shark Tank to promote the scrub deb

(25:07):
and what the scrub Daddy is? And this is this
is you've seen them in the shops, You'll have walked
right right past them until you know the backstory and
what the scrub daddy is. It's a type of sponge
or manufactured sponge like a like a a cloth like
a like a sponge, but it's hard when it's cold,

(25:35):
and it's soft when it's warm. So it's rock hard
when it's cold. So if you put cold water in it,
it becomes a very effective thing like a steel o
or a polypad to scrub dirt off the top of
the sove, and as soon as it's hot, it becomes

(25:56):
a soft pad. Yeah, unbelievable. It's like the future is
there in your hands. Anyway, the guy goes on shark Tank,
one woman takes ten percent for three hundred thousand dollars.
They're selling two hundred and twenty million dollars a year.
And they are sponges You'll have walked past a thousand
times in the supermarket, and they look like a little

(26:16):
sun and they've got two holes in a mouth, and
the two holes are putting your fingers in for when
you wash the bottom of glasses, and the mouth is
for putting things like cutlery through. Anyway, Look, I'm surely
and I only mention this because I'm sure some of
you out there will have had your lives transformed by them.
I haven't taken them home to use it yet, but

(26:36):
I believe the hype. And I can't believe that I've
only found out about them today and already managed to
purchase them in invert cargol. They were six dollars three,
I think. Unbelievable. So yeah, and if there is half
as good as everything I've read about them, I think

(26:57):
they're gonna well. I don't know what they're going to do,
but I'm pretty excited anyway. So I know that you
people like new products. Although I'm sure for some of
you they've been around long long time, you've had them before.
I just can't work out when no one's rung talk
back and said scrub daddy. Because this is the sort
of stuff like clusterfar This is the sort of stuff
I live and breathe, isn't it? But imagine that a

(27:17):
type of sponge. When it's wet and cold, it's hard,
and when it's warm it's soft. Unbelievable. It's a high
tech polymer. The texture changes in water soft and hot water,
firm and cold water. Unbelievable, very versatile, very popular anyway,

(27:44):
that's what I've bought two scrub daddies. Oh my god,
scrub daddies are good, though, I must say, yeah, I bet,
I bet so. We are talking scrub daddies if they've
changed anyone's life. Also, tonight we will talk about the
record of Edbin Fitzgerald and the lid Zip album, the
untitled one, and all manner of other stuff. But thank
you for guessing. Yeah, And then we move on to

(28:07):
the question has the scrub Daddy changed your life? I
imagine it probably has because some of you that fixate
in the cleaning oil, you've probably walked past these things
and not been that excited by it. Well, I'm more
than excited, Marcus. Have you brought two handheld weeding tools?
I buy those every year. And someone that I might

(28:29):
have brought two CD's Little Drummer Boy Part one and
Part two. No, I haven't, don't. We'll be paying a
Little Dummer Boy this year. I'm off the carolds. Riley,
it's Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus, how are you well? Good Riley,
it's good.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 8 (28:48):
I'm a professional cleaner and I've been using the scrub
diddy Daddy for years. They're amazing.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
How did you find well, here we go professional cleaner
and scrub Daddy. How did you find out about it?

Speaker 8 (28:59):
So we're advertised on Facebook, believe it or not?

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Really?

Speaker 10 (29:03):
Really yep?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
How often will and you work full time?

Speaker 11 (29:09):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (29:09):
When you say professional cleaner, that's forty hours a week, right,
that's right? How long would they last you?

Speaker 8 (29:17):
I would say good? Six months per.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Easy, it's going to say it, Riley, six months per
scrub Daddy yep. And then you flip them up. You
use the cold, you use it. You use it cold
and hard or hot and soft.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
Depending on what I'm cleaning as cold yeah, stovetops warm
yeah yeah. And it just just gets rid of everything.

Speaker 10 (29:44):
And it's really good.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
It doesn't lose its ability to be hard and be soft.
At the same time that ability stays with it, does it?
It does brilliant just any other new any other new
products you've discovered, Riley, you need to.

Speaker 8 (29:58):
Tell us about no, but when I do, you'll be
the first good.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
On your scrub Daddy. Twelve away from nine. My name
is Marcus head On at Night some interesting texts about
the scrub Daddy, and in fact there's so many texts
coming through that I can't quite work out where the

(30:25):
last one was now because someone there was a very
good text and I can't find it. Marcus wished I
texted ages ago. My first thought what I visualized was
you buying was scrub Daddy's been thinking of trying to try,
thinking of trying them lulls. Yeah, there we go, Marcus.

(30:55):
Never seen until my daughter showed me two days ago.
Use Barkeeper's friend powder cleanser, and use to clean your
stone's kitchen. Sick. It will blow you away because I've
been using the scrub Daddy for many, many years and
their magic at cleaning in the shower glass. You just
have to wipe it under the cold water to make
it hard, and then scrub the soaps come on the door,
and then under the hot water to make it soft

(31:16):
and wipe it off. The next thing I want is
a scrub Daddy to tug the speech which looks like
a flower shape at the top, and you press your
scrubdaty down it and some soap comes out. Marcus, I've
got some of them and didn't know all that, loll.
I just thought it was a hard surface on one
side and normal sponge On the other that's funny to
us in the scrub Daddy school because they clearly understand

(31:38):
the instinct of the scrub Daddy. Marcus, did you know
you can buy the scrub Daddy sponge holders seven dollars
from n to ten. Bunnings have scrub Daddy for five seventy.
Another excellent product is Barkeeper's Friend goes well with a
scrub Daddy. Marcus, Why does time goes so much quicker

(31:59):
when we're older. One Christmas to another gets quicker and quicker,
But kids don't experience that? Oh no, because I'll tell
you why. And I've got kids, so I know about this.
Like if you're a kid, if you're all ten, the
year that you've just experienced is one tenth of your life.

(32:19):
It's a big deal. Whereas if you're sixty, the year
just experience is about one and a half percent of
your life. So each year is a bigger deal because
it's greater percentage of how long you've lived. Like if
you're five and you spend a year, that's like a
fifth of your life. I think that's the answer, Marcus.

(32:42):
Just hit just hit off at Drury Motorway closed after Bombay. Marcus,
I've just done the detour. Come off at Druid, follow
Great South Road up to Bombay. It's probably taken me
extra for fifty to twenty minutes only, Marcus, that exit
of the bomb Bay Hills can be afforded by turning
off at the Rama Rama ramp. That's I was thinking

(33:02):
Rama Rama and using the Old Stonehway one or Great
North Road which goes is in a State hiway won
and then up to the top of the bomb Boy Hills.
That should have been on the website best ever Winkers
chocolate is mango and coconut. End of story, Frank, what
about Rolie and the scrub Daddy? Wow, the professional cleaners

(33:23):
are using them. I wonder how many I'll sell tomorrow.
Six dollars and three each thought I was prepared to
pay up to twenty once I'd watched the show and
read the hype. I can't believe we didn't have one earlier.
I love a scrub Daddy, just love the name and
the smiley, love everything about it. Everything about it, a

(33:46):
lot of texts. I guess it is all these people
stuck in traffic going around the bomb Bays. What's that about?
Marcus over scrub Daddy and a scrub mummy and they
live in there. Scrub Caddy Marcus somewhere nearby is sitting
on five weeks again. This is now nearly every night
since the first of November. My poor cat is hiding
under the bed again. They have really allowed bang avengers bangers.

(34:08):
I'm oldly and I'm too scared to walk around the
lable at this hour. Regard to Maureen, yes, they will
be leading them off tonight. They'll probably lead them off
tomorrow night. Also, it's the first weekend since people have
had to be able to fire fireworks, so some will
have let them off on Tuesday and some will have
saved them. I did say this would have happened. I'm
not saying that in a gloaty way, but yeah, that's
the way fireworks works, that people will save them for

(34:30):
the weekends. So you should be free after Saturday night.
I would imagine if you'd bought a leaf blower, I
would have had to turn off the radio.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Loll.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
I'd never buy a leaf blower. I'm a great believer.
In a broom. Someone's found scrub daddies for Marcus. You
have been ripped off someone's found Scrub Daddies at dollars
seventy nine for three on TIMU. I don't think they
would be the right ones. I'd be worried about that.

(35:04):
I don't even like the packagings right and now I'm
quite brand loyal to scribe Daddies. Have you even tried it?
But I'm eleven great things in it, great great things.
Get in touch, Marcus Still twelve. Also tonight is the
night we remember the record. The Ebinfitz gener will play
this song and it's the night we remember one hundred years,
fifty years, fifty three years since the release of Led

(35:25):
Zeppelin's fourth album, containing Stairway to Heaven. Of course, still
a classic when you hear on the radio, it takes
so long for it to get going. When even tried
to interpret what that song means. And I guess when

(35:49):
you have succeeded. Get in touch if you want to talk.
Marcus s Till twelve, eight hundred eighty ten eight nineteen
ninety two detext Bombay Avoid like the plague crash southbound,
But people are saying it's very slow to get around there.

(36:12):
This is not to do with holiday a weekend, trav
This is with an accident. So I can promise you
that now I can't stop singing a Steaway to Heaven.
It has replaced that American song I couldn't stop singing
after Donald Trump I used out as his walk on
song like it was WWWF. I will keep your day

(36:35):
with the news throughout the course of the evening tonight
if you've got anything to say. Also if you've got
the other breaking news where you are nine to nine
two the AUSSI states. It seems to be getting progress
in Australia with the banning social media for those younger
than sixteen. The states and territories now have unanimously backed

(37:00):
a national plan to bar children from social media until
they're TikTok x, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. It would make
them enforceable or responsible for enforcing the age limit. Good

(37:22):
on them, doesn't work, Send it bag Tasmania preferred fourteen,
Most dates preferred sixteen. That's what they're going with. It's
all about the scrub Daddy tonight, because I'm all in
and interesting enough. All the reviews they say out there's
one thing you want to buy from Shark Tank, It's
the scrub Daddy because my stuff, let's face it on

(37:45):
Shark Tank is junk. However, that pizza cupcake looks good
and those boards of chopped meat looked quite good. That
was one of the COVID things. Anyway, I talk about
the scrub Daddy or the scrub Mummy now if you
haven't tried these things, because in fact, we were just
in the Ha's on the weekend and the eldest boy said,

(38:05):
can we buy one of those cute looking sponges? Whether
we said no, feel terrible about that now because I've
been denied as scrub Daddy for a week. So a
lot of texts about this. You want to ring and
talk about. They've got a cult following. But when was
the last time we got excited by a sponge? In fact,

(38:27):
I've got to go as far as saying when we're
at intermediate school we have to just to have to
sell sponges as a fundraiser, those in plastic bags. What
was that about? Yeah, fundraisers due to I didn't bother
doing it. Of course, Marcus gonna get me a scrubber
before they're sold out. Here in Napier, we have re dry,
could be heading for a drought, had no real rain
for months. Noel napier. They're not a scrubber, They're a

(38:52):
scrub daddy. Have you on extra loud tonight? Keep you
the pits to straightened from the fireworks. All furk and
weak animals seem quite content with you. Yeah, we do
provide a special service for people with bits. Anyway, Marcus,

(39:14):
I'm curious, have you explained what you have? That song
is your theme song on your show? Not really, some
thing's are left best unexplained. I wanted people to I
want to hear from people whose lives have been changed
by the scrub Daddy or people to bring up and say,
what is this scrub daddy you talk about? Particularly into cleaning?

(39:34):
And can I say this particularly if you're on in
years that you mightn't have heard of these new products.
And it's a great stocking filler. Everyone I know for
Christmas is getting a scrub Daddy, which is the courier,
the boss. I mean, I know more people than that.

(39:57):
I'm just trying to think who woul appreciate a scrub Daddy.
We might even get some. We might have we might
even have a quiz before Christmas with scrub Daddy's as prizes.
If I could be by the writing a quiz, because
you know my quizzes would be pretty boring. It'll be

(40:18):
questions about the record they had been Fitzgerald or talk
back trivia. If you want to talk on E tonight
about the scrub Daddy or the scrub Mummy. They are
a cult thing. Marcus, hey, mate, keeping a loud while
we're batting the last of the silence before the rain tomorrow,
and the Rackie cheers Reagan, good like. I hope you
get all that in hope there's not too much of

(40:39):
a panic there. Hope you do something good with your
bail rap. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty year. Come on, peeple,
we need to have someone to bring up on wex
lyrically about the scrub Daddy. But what a lovely day
thing to call it a sponge and name like the
scrub Daddy and then to put the smiley face on it.
And it's got a purpose. You just want to check

(41:02):
one on the Facebook page saying for all those that
were lost track of what Marcus is he was about
to buy. I get the picture of the car if
you want that, Dan to check that on you. I
think I brought a yellow one and a blue one.
I've said to the family, we're going to the warehouse
where they make them. We're going to a pilgrimage into
the middle of Trump's America to see where they make

(41:24):
the scrub Daddy. I'll keep you posted on that. The
Bombay closures seem to be open. It's over now for
the Bombay closures. It's over, over, over over. That's it.
You're good to go now. You don't need to go
the Rama. Actually, I think I've never really probably pronounced
Rama Rama properly. Rama Rama always lean always loomed quite

(41:52):
big in our lives, because if you've went south, you'd
go past Rama Rama. Where the Boomerang restaurant was? Remember
that when that's nostalgia, that's Jim Sutton's territory. But I
think I'm pretty sure it was in Rama Rama. Was
it the boomer Was it the Boomerang Tea Rooms? Or

(42:13):
the What's Up Anyway? Kind of a famous building in
it today? The Boomerang Restaurant, great name for a restaurant,
huge in its day. I think it might have been
shaped like a boomerang. I don't know why people always

(42:34):
went for daft shaped buildings. Get in Touched by name
is Marcus hddled twelve. We will play the Wreck of
the Edmin Fitzgerald tonight because the anniversary is on Sunday,
but I'm not going to play it Monday, would be
respectful for the twenty nine Marcus. I've had one for ages,

(42:55):
but didn't know about the cold thing to make it
go hard. My brain exploded, what a revelation. Got surely
had extractions with a scrub Daddy is a woman on
Instagram that cleans for horner people. Scrub Daddy fly here
all over the place. It's a great company. And I
wasn't sure about Trump's America. But the scrub Daddy guy

(43:17):
Jeepers Rama Rama Lama farmer that was in the road
safety and I love it. Didn't know that Rose Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 11 (43:34):
Oh greetings Marcus. I'd never heard of those exactly. And
I said to my granddaughter was sitting. I said, wonder
if there was a scrub Daddy and she explained it
down to the tea like the dry and the soft,
and I want, but I want to know how much

(43:54):

it was reasonable for something that was so hyped. I was.
I was prepared to go to twenty dollars.

Yeah, well that's what I was thinking. You were going
to say it.

Speaker 2 (45:45):

Okay, okay, that's all right. You never you never know
what's happening out there, and listen land sometimes Rose, that's good.
Is he a good sword?

Speaker 11 (46:12):
He is a really good sort.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
About the time they got married, then ah, oh we're

you've got the Bombay Hills. Then you've got Beaver Road,
which was always Yeah, it was sort of amusing name

(46:49):
for road. I suppose. I guess it's still a amusing
always got a smile from people you're on school trips anyway, Nikki,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 13 (46:57):
Oh Marcus, I'm sitting here holding my scrub daddy.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Wow, it's green. That's a good sentence. I'm sitting here
holding my scrub daddy. How long you edit?

Speaker 13 (47:08):
You? Possibly? Two months?

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (47:16):
One of my daughters gave it to me. Oh, she
was using it to scrub. She was leaving her rental
when she was I had about four or five of them,
and I said, oh, I really liked the look, isn't it?
And then I got my scrub daddy, and then I
realized how amazing at it?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (47:37):
Yeah, yeah, I did.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
You know about the hot Did you know about the
whole hot and cold thing? Yep, okay, I only asked
that some people didn't know about that. So just making
sure that people do know about the hot and cold
with the scrub Daddy.

Speaker 11 (47:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (47:55):
I probably worked that out myself after it. You know,
I'm sort of trying to use it on different but
it's just so cute and every time you move it
it's my was in a different way, and I actually
is the best I've found that The other day another
youth though, it was when you so on a on

(48:22):
the top and it's it's sort of like dried. You
can run the scrub debby daddy. Of course that was
me just putting it across my own weddin. You can
rub run, run the scrub debbie up and down just
to pull it apart.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
I got lost. Now now, so okay, what if you spilled.

Speaker 13 (48:43):
You know, if you spill something on let's for example,
if you're doing baking and you pull and you get
splattered by it and you don't know you've done it,
and it drives out hard on it, you can actually
you can actually use the scrub Daddy just to get
it off.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Let's right to shift the hard and stage. You're right, Nikki,
But thank you for that demonstration, Marcus. Great show. I
recently watched the episode of The Shark Tank with the
guy that admitted the scrub Daddy. Look it up on YouTube.
You Well, I have watched that today. I've watched I've
been all down the rabbit hole with scrub Daddy. It's
been a big day. We're to reassemble. We're hard to
assemble a beard, which is always testing for a couple.

(49:25):
I think it was some of these tractors said took
an hour, took an hour and a half. But it
wasn't too bad. I didn't think. Actually, I think we
did that pretty well. But there was that, and then
there's the down the rabbit hole about the scrub Daddy
watching the shark tank episode, then watching the where are
they now shark tmp episode, then watching something else about

(49:46):
the shark tamp episode. Marcus. I just looked at them
now on Google Images. So many colors, however, not a
rainbow one. Now, what would that still be called? A
scrub daddy? Marcus. Our household of eight adults from fifteen
years to seventy years of split fifty to fifty as

(50:08):
to whether the Briscoe lady is wearing a wig or not?
Do you know she wears a wig? Fact? Google it.
That's what people say these days. Google it. Roberts Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (50:24):
Yeah, hi Marcus, how are you good? Thank you. You're
talking about their Boomerang restaurant.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yes, it was.

Speaker 6 (50:32):
It was called the Boomerang Restaurant, but that's been gone
for about forty odd years. Yeah, I thought it must
have been maybe for forty five years.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
It was always sort of the symbol that you get
into the end of the motorway before the.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
Yeah, the motorway finished that Drury and then you had
to go up to Great South Road, yes, to Bombay.
And then when they put the new motorway through from
Drury to the top of the Bombay Hill, that's when
Trevor stopped going up to Great South Road.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
And if my memory is kind of right, and you'll
remember this, that you went to the end of the
motorway past the Boomerang restaurant and then you go up
to Bombay and then you'd go up past Collision Crossroad.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
That's right, yep. And Beaver Road was on.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
The right, yes, And Collision cross Road must have been
a nickname because it was a tea that was an
X intersection was very dangerous, is that right?

Speaker 6 (51:26):
That's right? Yeah, the crossroads were it turned it's ready
head over the Bombay Hills to Marrow Murray and left
to go to Bombay School, right to go to Pocket Kowey,
and the other cross road was heading back to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
And then the one you haven't mentioned was was the
the Jolly Farmer in that gold English pub?

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Drew, I love people ring up and tell me what
I haven't mentioned was the Boomerang restaurant? Right? Was it
shaped like a boomerang?

Speaker 6 (52:02):
No, they had a picture of a boomerang on the
front of us.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Okay, it was it shaped like a boom because I
think it might have been shaped like a boomerang as well.

Speaker 6 (52:09):
It could have been, but I see there was a
boomerang standing up furtile call in front of it at
some stage.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
But I wonder why the boom They called it the
boom Rang because you always would go back because it
was so good.

Speaker 6 (52:24):
To be honest, I think I only wincey about once
or twice. Can't remember what it was like. The food
was okay, but god, I'm going back forty five years.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Yeah, I don't think I've ever been, but I just
always drove. As a child. You didn't have an agency
as a child to go back to the Boomerang restaurant.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
Yeah, yeah, so no, you know, all that areas just
going crazy out that way. Now, we used to live
up that way and they're building a big Manechow city,
like a big shopping complext and Drewy Now really, but
it's down by the Stephenson's.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Quarry because I thought it was all there was a
big fuss about that being green fields and they couldn't
get permission to bang it all into housing. Where are
they with that.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
Or I don't know. I've been at out of it
there for about twenty five years, but apparently down by
Stevenson's quarry. Yes, that's all going into a big shopping board.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Not a bad idea, but.

Speaker 6 (53:25):
It's the last part of the country up there at
the foot of the Bombay Hill.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
You feel that you feel that Auckland Hamilton is going
to become one city within ten years, don't you.

Speaker 6 (53:35):
Yeah, Well, when we lived up there, we had Manichow
City was built. Yes, I'm going back probably fifty for
forty fifty years, yes, fifty years, and now they're building
one as brewery. Apparently Kerry's booming well.

Speaker 2 (53:51):
The fastest growing region the country, The fastest growing city
was Polkino. I mean that was that's that's gone from
nothing to and god knows what they're doing at night.
I mean you've got nothing there is there?

Speaker 6 (54:03):
Well, I used to head south for work and I
used to stop at Pocono Pocono Bake. There was two
shops here, Pocono Bacon yes, and a pie shop yes,
and a petrol station. But on there between Pocono in
Mercer and the Bombay Health there's a city on the

(54:23):
south side of the Bombay Hill.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Now unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (54:28):
Oh, it's just it's all facing south. Yeah, it's just amazing.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Where where did you wash up?

Speaker 6 (54:34):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Where are you now?

Speaker 7 (54:36):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (54:37):
I'm not far from in the middle of the South Island.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Oh good? Oh wow. You got out of the ret
race then, didn't you?

Speaker 6 (54:44):
Oh we got out twenty five years ago.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Yeah, me too. Nice to hear from you, Rob. A
better move along, But good to hear talking about scrub
Daddy's in the Marcus. The housing plans and Drury will
house the same number of people as in Apu City. Marcus.
The Boomerang restaurant cafe was a hexagon shape, dark brown
starf It burnt down at one stage, so they had

(55:08):
to rebuild it, Marcus. Not sure if it's been mentioned,
but or has it just tuned back? And have you
seen the Christmas scrub Daddy limited edition range that has
come out, Chris the fir Tree, Rudy the rein there,
and Frosty the Snowflake. No, I have not. I'm looking
forward to that, Marcus. I had a swarm of junying

(55:35):
bees decided that my new white Subara outback was a
good place to take a break. Scrub Daddy moved that
excessive sticky excretion. I was amazed at just how much
of a mess the swarm made. Good evening, Sue, It's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 12 (55:51):
Good evening, Marcus, scrub Daddy's Yes, I've got a couple.
Did you know you can get a hold of them
that sticks to the that sticks.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
I've only known about the beast three hours, so it's
it's all a fairy new Thanks for me.

Speaker 12 (56:07):
If you get one of those, you can suction it
to the side of your sink. It's shaped like the
scrubberby and you just sit it on there and it's
there to go every time.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
How long have you How long have you had one?

Speaker 12 (56:20):
I had mine six months or more.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
And How did you find out about TikTok Instagram World
of work?

Speaker 12 (56:26):
I work at mine to team and we sell them.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Okay, okay, well that's good. Might you know about the products.

Speaker 12 (56:32):
A little tip when they get a bit grubby? Check
them and you just washer? Come up brand you really? Yep,
brand news. I have never had to replace mine and
I use them every day. Check it and you just
washer and you're like brand.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
You're like me. So you would imagine you've listened to
the show occasionally.

Speaker 12 (56:51):
Have you every night?

Speaker 2 (56:53):
I would imagine this audience this could change their life,
but this would be something that they would respond positively to,
isn't it?

Speaker 12 (56:59):
And I only got the feedback by customers buying them
and telling me how great they were, And I thought,
I'm going.

Speaker 6 (57:04):
To try that.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Oh geez, you're not at the end of the cargoll Okay, okay, okay,
what else have they recommended you buy? And then followed
is it just the scrub Daddy or is there something else?

Speaker 12 (57:20):
No, I could buy lots of things in your market,
but you chan't got to stop.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
Okay, nice to hear from you. See there we go, Wow,
are the scrub Daddy? People will love the scrub Daddy.
I'm not in the back pocket of big scrub Daddy.
But it's nice to just talk about products that you
think are going to be good without the hype. It's
nice to be commercially free, that you're not in the

(57:47):
back pocket of anyone. I think that's always a nice
thing to think. I mean, you know, that's just my
take on life. Anyway, get in touch. It's all about
the scrub daddy. What would people ask me personal questions
via text? I wouldn't have time to reply to those things.

(58:09):
Thank you, Rachel. There is talk the next Costco is
going to be in Drury Other It is going to
be in Rolliston to the night's flowing, hasn't it? Get
in touch, Marcus till twelve of this break and us
I'll bring that to you to you do you already?
I think we're topic rich. A pygmy spom whale is
washed up on Gisbon Beach. It has been euthanized. It

(58:33):
was the beach tonight, alive button poor condition. They humanely
euthanized it. There'd be a firearm, would it. Public attempted
to refloat the whale, but the wheel the whale kept
returning to the beach. There you go, Terry Marcus, welcome,

(59:01):
you do good, Thanks Terry.

Speaker 5 (59:03):
Hey cool. I was listening to your scrub Daddy stuff,
and I've actually watched all of the Shark Tank episodes
and things, and I was wondering if the guys who
copied the shark Daddy used pretty much the same logo
and all that sort of stuff. I wonder how they're
getting on.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
These days, because he got patents, he got patents and
everything for it, didn't he Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:27):
Yeah, yeah, hips them and they even they mentioned they said, oh,
have you noticed that your logo and your emblem and
everything looks very similar to another Shark Tank product that
we Laurie took up two years ago. And they're like, no,
and it looked exactly the same.

Speaker 10 (59:46):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
So somebody come back with something similar to the scrub Daddy.
Is that right?

Speaker 12 (59:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Eventually exactly the same. But they said, no, that scrub
Daddy was for inside, and there was slightly different because
it's for outside. But they said, yeah, but your marketing
department's actually drawn the logo and they called it scrub
Hoppy or something like. It was pretty much like it
was ridiculous. How close it was, how it got.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
You'll know how it ever got through onto the shark tank.
Could you think that they would have not wanted that
to happen?

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
Well, the sharks are sitting there going like is this
a joke? Or like are you pitching for real? Are
we getting you know? No, No, they were for real.
They were pitching.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Was it called Scrubby?

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
Yeah, that's it Scrubby.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
I watched that after work.

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Yeah, so it's about two seasons later, I think two
or three seasons later.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Do you watch them all?

Speaker 6 (01:00:46):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
I did?

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
Do you watch because the thing that amazes me? What
about that the horror that horrible guy on the Australian
one with his notebook. He'd be one of the most
mean spirited people that ever worked this planet. You've seen him.

Speaker 5 (01:00:59):
The odds of you are?

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Is that?

Speaker 6 (01:01:01):
You know?

Speaker 7 (01:01:02):
The names?

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
Yeah, the shark hands, that Cuban Lorrie whatever her name is,
the Tuasian guy I think he is, and mister Wonderful,
the bald headed guy, he's the Audi.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Is it is the Australian one called dragons Den? Is it?

Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:01:25):
I think they've got a dragons Den the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
UK it's the dragons Den. They're always there's a guy
in the Australian dragons Den right, and I'm just trying
to trying to get a picture of the guy. He's
an unlikable kind of a unit. He's the guy with the.

Speaker 6 (01:01:45):
Flip.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
I'll have to find and do it. Let me just
google hosts and there's the there's the UK one Dragon's Den,
and there's that woman that's free, mean spirited. Did you
come across here at all?

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I haven't seen like because the shark
tink ones are on twenty four seven on the same
sung channel whatever it is. Oh yeah, so yeah, it
just runs twenty it's a whole it's a shark Tent channel,
like so all fourteen or fifteen, sixteen seasons or whatever,
just running twenty four to seven.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Okay, I'll try and find who this guy is. That
not that it matters that he winds me up so much,
but anyway, Okay, my googling's not working tonight. My goobling
game's not good. I'll get in touch if you on
to talk. Oh wait, eight ten eighty Marcus, I have

(01:02:38):
used scrub Daddies for about three years. I was sold
on Barkeeper's Friends Soft cleanser and my first order came
from the States with scrub daddies and closed. Great for
arthritic hands. His fingers go into the eyes. I don't
need wrisk movement. Mary, just through my scrub daddy out.
After four years, I cleaned, showered, drained trays. It was gross.

(01:03:00):
Could have through put it through the washing regimement was gross, Marcus.
A scrub daddy holder is called a scrub daddy Keddy.
Marcus had scrub daddies for years. First brought back from
the States five years ago. Was delighted. We mightit in
stock them, Marcus. Sorry to those north of the Brandowins

(01:03:20):
and south of the bomb Bays, but how will Auckland
has relied on public transport planned to cope with the
fractured services for the next ninety six days. I think
what's happening is the reason they are doing that in
the holidays is that they will be using all the
school buses, so buses will replace trains. And for those
of you that are frequent news of the Auckland transport system,

(01:03:44):
it quite often happens when buses replace trains. It's a
lot of fairing around, but it works because trains do
need maintenance anyway, get in touch eight hundred and eighty
Teddy text Yeah, Ben Marcus, welcome you go.

Speaker 10 (01:04:05):
Miauls over one of those daddy. So it's made by
the same company, but it dispenses the diss liquid.

Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
Hang on, sorry, you've got what.

Speaker 10 (01:04:16):
Sorry, it's called a soap daddy, so it's made by
the same company as the scrub Daddy, but it dispenses
a dish liquid. So it gives you the same dish
amount of dish liquid every time in the country, done
a lot least dish liquid.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Wow, okay, So how does that fit in with the
scrub Daddy?

Speaker 10 (01:04:37):
So made by the same companies that you know, dispenses
are in the sink. And then I don't have a
scrub daddy. I've seen them around it. I don't have one.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Hang on, hang on. So you went, you went straight
to the soap daddy with no stop for the scrub Daddy.

Speaker 10 (01:04:52):
No, I was daddy. It came off a bottom liquid.
I was on special at might team.

Speaker 12 (01:04:56):
And I are okay, a new arrival.

Speaker 10 (01:04:59):
And I sorted to try it. And yeah, I don't
actually bought a liquid from that company. You might just
find normal dish liquid and it go in there, and
yeah it's good. Cut down the amount that I was
using by a probably half.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
So it's just a soap dispenser. Is there something special
about it?

Speaker 10 (01:05:15):
Myself? Measures that you can put the you can put
the sponge on top and then you push it down
and just gives you the same vision and every time
it's nice next to the same comms.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
I'm watching it on YouTube. Someone opening it. Oh yeah,
I can see it. It's quite on an eight looking thing,
isn't it. And you pushed the big thing down. Where's
the where's the stuff come out?

Speaker 10 (01:05:35):
Comes out of the side on my one, and then
on the other ones you can actually just slip the
cuff on there. You know, it'll squaw it onto the
cough and come there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
You got to get yourself a scrub daddy bit.

Speaker 10 (01:05:49):
Yeah, I've seen them my around. I didn't even know
this of them at the Sigma Well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
A New World and Ivory will really go a New World.
But I googled it up and I couldn't see it
peck and safe. So I went to New World Ellis Road.
There it was got myself too, got a night's talk
back out of it. Never been happier.

Speaker 10 (01:06:06):
Yeah, I think we've got one. I think we've got
one at work in the lunch room.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
I think they make a very good Christmas decoration. That's
what Dan does. He's going about twelve from his tree,
different colors hanging down, and there are Christmas themed ones.
It's a special design foam that no one else has got.
The ip two. That's hard when it's cold and wet,
and soft when it's warm and wet. So it's for
scrubbing harsh stuff on the stovetopic and do that, then

(01:06:34):
you get it hot and then it's just soft. Oh flip.
I wish I was demonstrating these at those I've always
want to do that go around the amp shows. Not
only that, but you can do this, you know those
sorts of things they get going with Get in touch
Hittle twelve Marcus. I work for the rail and Winnington.

(01:06:57):
What I've learned is everyone wants the tracks and services
to stay maintained and running on time, but don't want
to be inconvenienced when maintenance work needs to be done.
Fair point. Oh by the way, it's not ninety six
consecutive days, it's thirty days in January, a couple of
weeks in April September and then next January as well. Marcus,

(01:07:27):
the last male that spoke was great, totally agree with
and would like to contact him? Would you be able
to see in my number? Not something I'd ever do,
just as if he wants to make contact. Which guy
was that came through at nine forty? What Terry? I
forget what? What? What was TI? Did Terry sound like?
But you have all had a scrub daddy? Which Rob

(01:07:49):
is not the guy with asc what Ben did have
a scrap? Bean had a soap daddy? Terry had a
scrap What do he say? How does the call go?

Speaker 6 (01:07:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Yeah, he did a verognized voice. He's the one took
it this straight? Yeah, the mirror he watches all the
he watches the whole channel, the set. You're liked him
must be someone that likes watching a lot of TV. Now,
I tell you something about putting listeners in touch with
each other, even if it's to help out or if
someone's you know, needs home care, if someone's got a

(01:08:20):
stamp oue and they want someone to look at. I
don't put callers in touch with each other because what
if you woke up one morning and clicked on the
indied herald website, and there was someone had been murdered
and you thought you're responsible for that. So I'm not
a big fan of putting people in touch with each other.
People always saying let's have a single to night, but
not for me. You go to your bumble or something

(01:08:42):
like that, if you want that sort of stuff. I
like to keep all the listeners apart from one another.
I think it's the safest way get in touch. Marcus
till twelve oh eight hundred eight ten eighty, Marcus, every
time I hear rumma, rummer bombay, I hear it the

(01:09:04):
way Kevin Black said it, and his candid phone called
an art Or airport saying their low flying planes were
making his onions cry hilarious. He'd enunciate it so well, Marcus.
If you think the scrub Daddy is great, wait till
you try barkeeper's friend from the same company. Your shower

(01:09:25):
glass will never be cleaner. Paul, I have a gooseneck
tap and puts scrub Daddy's mouth through the tap and
he sits on top to dry. Looks like a tap
comings out of his mouth. L O L, which is
laugh out loud. I'd like to see an image of that.
Why can't they text through pictures on that jetlt oh

(01:09:48):
because of the callers couldn't see them either, could they?

Speaker 7 (01:09:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Yes, scrub daddy. If there's emails, God, Sharon has texted
and the email is entitled. The email is not entitled.
The email is titled scrub daddies, Love Love, love them.

(01:10:16):
The smile is for washing your spoons in the gap.
Don't buy the cheap ones from Temu. They don't last.
Buy from Bunnings for about six dollars. I ever read
one in the bathroom yet in the kitchen. Grape for
the barbecue, then throw it in the washing machine. Then
good as new. Marcus, this is the best dart of

(01:10:39):
I've brought in twenty twenty four. It's an oil sprayer.
I think, I like people are doing as like a
retail confessional. What did you it's trained me oil sprayer.

(01:11:01):
I'm talking about ten bucks fifty No, it was like
it's two dollar seventy eight. Looks very cheap. Well it
was for payment. But there we go. So people are
now sending to me they must have items of twenty
twenty four, as you must, and then we might start

(01:11:22):
talking about the mortar on the Great Wall of China.
Scrub Daddy pretty happy about that. It's the biggest selling
product ever on Shark tank.

Speaker 6 (01:11:42):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Sunday is the footy ninth anniversary of the wreck of
the EDM in Fitzgerald. It was just another wreck until
the good and lightfoot song came out, but it's an
amazing story. It was such a massive ship, originally coal fired,
seven twenty nine feet long. Twenty three feet waves hit
the boat. It was a big deal. Twenty nine people
on board. They died plenty of reasons. Why no one's

(01:12:06):
sure can you do with the fact that some of
the hatches, lids were off and all sorts of stuff anyway,
So we will play the song sometimes tonight. All the
lives were lost. There were twenty nine the captain, the
first of second and third mates, five engineers, three orders,

(01:12:27):
a cock, a wiper, two maintenance been, three watchmen, three dickens,
three wheelsman, two porters of Cadetnist Stewart and the bell
will ring twenty nine times and next year, obvious is
the fiftieth anniversary. They did find the wreck at the
bottom of the ocean and two pieces covered in mud,

(01:12:52):
so there was a sense that it had smashed in
two they did recover the bell. Family members of the
lost crew sought one significant artifact for Somembolock Memorial. On
July fourth, ninety ninety five, twenty years after sinking the Bells,
the ship's bell was recovered and replaced in the depth

(01:13:14):
in the deep with a replica. That's quite nice, isn't
how they replaced it. Seven vessels and two submercifuls were
used to recover the bell. In the first ceremony, the
bell was told thirty times, twenty nine for the crew
of the Fits and once for all the other lives
lost on the Great Lakes, and the bells in the

(01:13:38):
Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum. It was a tangible memorial for
the families that lost. But there are seven thousand shipwrecks
in the Great Lakes and thirty thousand lives have been lost.

(01:13:58):
So there you go to the Great Lakes. You all
have learned about those and about the wreck of the
Evenfits you. But anyway, we've got other matters of hand.
If you want to talk about the first time you
listened to Led Zeppelin's album that came out this day
in nineteen seventy one, the fourth album called Nothing, it
was untitled So that happened That's this day in nineteen

(01:14:20):
seventy one, and also the Edmin Fitzgerald and also to
the ultimate topic, the scrub Daddy, the sponge that will
change your life. I've only discovered its own and I've
already purchased it on that into it. When it's hot,
it's soft, when it's cold, it's hard. I think that's
the way it goes. Marcus Carl here, I'm single as well,

(01:14:45):
but also what do you mean as well? I'm not.
I don't know what they're referring to me. Marcus, I'm
single as well, but I also agree it's not good
to meet someone without a picture. This is why we
referred to this is what referred to as a blind date. Goodness,

(01:15:11):
get in touch if you do want to talk, all
the lines are free. Someone wants to know why ships
have got are called he she I don't know why
that is, but you google that up. I could tell you,
But do we want to know? I don't know the answer.
I can tell you for referring to boats is female,

(01:15:38):
so is believe they were connecting with the nurturing and
protective roles first associated with female there you go, or
with women that's the gender. But get in touch. Eleven
past ten. My name is Marcus hdded twelve. Any calls
mentioning the scrub Daddy, I would love I'm big on
that and anything else you want to talk about. We

(01:16:01):
will play the record the of Infantsuire before midnight tonight.
I might play a song from the led Zep fourth album. Also,
just since it's a Friday after a heavy week or
a big week, Jamie, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:16:13):
You mentioned Bonnie Dune, Yes, and I used to go
through it about once a week really truck. Yeah yeah,
because we would load paint out of dandy Nion for
de Luck and it's considered dangerous goods, so you couldn't.
You can't take dangerous goods through any tunnels through Melbourne.
So to save the headache of trying to work out

(01:16:35):
where the dangerous dangerous goods route was, I'd just go.
They call it the slide, and you go around. You're
on the side of up the hills through into Bonnie Dune.
You take the truck over the damn wall.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
I think it was yeah, sure, okay, yep, I'm looking
at I'm looking at now on the B three hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
Yeah, yeah, and that brings me out sort of van holla.
It was a nice bit about one once a week
probably look for three months.

Speaker 2 (01:17:08):
So hang on, hang on, where's the paint? Where's the
paint made?

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
And Dandingknong okay, uh do luck Yeah, Clayton sorry, Clayton North.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
Did you stop at Bondy Dune?

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
Yeah? I did the shell Bonnie Dune. The other Serenity Burger.
I'm trying to remember what was in it. I can't remember.
And I had to have one. It was like twenty bucks.
I think it was like two paddies, bacon, eggs, you know,
everything you want. It was a good, big memory. And
then and they have a rail trail as well. There's

(01:17:48):
a rail trail you can do.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
What does that mean our old railway track?

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you can ride your bike and stuff. Yeah,
because we were going to I mean the kids and
the wife who wanted to fly into Melbourne, get on
a train to Bonnie Dune and then do the rail trail,
then go to Falls Creek and have a whole holiday
all on public transport. Because then Victoria it's only seven

(01:18:15):
dollars a day. It was travel, yes, but it was
it was just going to be too expensive because you
couldn't You've got to get a bus and it's going
to take like five hours to get the body done,
something ridiculous on the bus, and then to get the
Fall's Creek and you couldn't get a bus to Fall's Creek.
So from Bonnie and So I just got a bit
hard to sort of put that on the back burner.

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
I think you've I think you've done them at a service.
With the price of the Serenity Burger eight ninety five
double beef, double cheese, bacon, lettuce, tom Mayo, that seems
to be what's up looking at the menu, though it
could be odds from twenty thirteen. I've gone up there

(01:18:57):
and it'll doubled in price since then.

Speaker 3 (01:19:00):
Yeah, I got chips.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
I just pulled the headphones out. Don't say anything untoward.
Hell yeah, I'm back, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got chips and a drink wasn't
so very well. But I remember not being able to
eat all the drinks, I mean, sorry, all the chips. Yes,
I remember it being a good burger.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
But did you see all the houseboats on that lake.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
Now, I went for a walk because obviously I was
in the bed. I also part I went for a
walk down to the lake, but I was a different.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
Yeah, because I got followed doing the deep dive. Because
there's seven hundred houseboats on that lake. It's twice as
long as the Sydney Harbor. But are you still with me?
I brought him away. Ah, nice to hear from you, Jamie.
I'm sorry that I've did you cut off. I like

(01:19:59):
your enthusiasm, Jamie. There is a rail trail. Yeah, get
in touch, high Carol. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (01:20:15):
Hello Marcus. Look, I didn't really want to phone in.
There's other people more important than I am for phoning in.
But why is a ship called a she? Do you
know why?

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
I'm sure there was someone else takes it through and
they want to know, so yes, we'll go.

Speaker 9 (01:20:27):
With that, all right. Briefly, here's the story. When my
husband was alarmed we were involved in maritime neighbor went
to Ireland. Brought me back a tea towel and it's
written here, why is a ship called a she? And
I've had it phamed in a similar color to the
roofs of Mariyes, why is a ship called a she?

(01:20:49):
A ship is called a she because there's always a
great deal of bustle around her. There is usually a
gang of men about. She has a waste and stays.
You know, she has a waste and stays. It takes
a lot of paint to keep her good looking. It

(01:21:14):
is not the initial expense that breaks you, it's the upkeep.
She can be all decked out now. It takes an
experienced man to handle her correctly, and without a man
at the helm, she is absolutely uncontrollable. She shows her

(01:21:41):
top sides, she hides her and when coming into port,
always heads for the boys buys.

Speaker 14 (01:21:51):
That's it, very.

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Very good, cal I appreciate that.

Speaker 11 (01:21:54):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
That's another thing for my talk back bucket list. Ticked
off having someone ring me up and read me the
text from a Teetael, So that's that's aech. I love
a framed t towel. Goodness, wow, anyway, how you why
don't we have a bluff tea towel? I wonder about

(01:22:15):
the things people buy and bluffers to. I think everyone's
looking for something from them. They all come down there
and there's not much to buy. Be good to get
a tee. If I was more organized, I'd go about
doing something as far as it's something for tourists to
bluff because these days you'll get magnets shaped like road
signs and stuff. But yeah, I think people need something.

(01:22:39):
Why they call a ship is she? There is a
gourmet pie, tea towel. Everyone's got an idea these days,
haven't they. But no idea is as good as the
scrub Daddy. He's sold one hundred and ten million of those.
It's a lot, isn't it. By the way, I've had

(01:23:03):
all the pies from the new Zim's Best Gourmet Pie's
road tripped to it. I've had a Fat Bastard's pie.
I've had a Miles better pie, are you Miles? I've
had a Food Baker's pie. I've had a Peaks Kitchen pie, papaita.
Why I don't think I've had a Brighton's Beach. You've
had them all quite a good tetail. Actually, I don't

(01:23:29):
think I've been to mad Hat has don A, mad
Hat has Donna's Cafe and Cayo. I might even do
that when I do the old my tour of food
places that the Zibe audience have suggested including breakers in Taradale. Yep. Marcus,

(01:23:52):
my son and his wife live in a town called Merton,
not Murk and Merton, which is about twenty minutes from
Bonnie Dune. I've had several lovely meals at the pub
there and have seen where the Castle cruise stayed. Lake
Eilden is beautiful and massive. Yes, I was looking at
the prices for the houseboats. I wonder all this sewerage
wind they must haves on today. Kevin, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:24:19):
Hello, Marcus, you cut out from it there. I hope
you're getting mere.

Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Okay, you got your out and clear? Kevin welcome, Oh
good man. Yeah no.

Speaker 14 (01:24:27):
I'm an ex lighthouse keeper and yesterday Thursday were a
few of us remaining its keepers got together and we
took a motor trip up to Cape Egmont and we
had a bit of a look around there. It was
our last ever get together, and so when we came

(01:24:50):
back down to Foxton there, one of our members is
in the dementia unit there, so we looked out from
during the trip and as probably the last time we'll
see each other. Actually, so I just thought i'd read
knew and let you know, could you in the a

(01:25:10):
maritime history and all that sort of thing. Yeah, and yeah,
so it's sad, but at the end of an era.
And what the first reunion we had was, the big
one was in ninety ninety and I'm just looking at
the group photograph now for leaving keepers, and there's only
about three of them left alive out of the thirty

(01:25:33):
in the photograph. Yeah, that's I was.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
I was fortunate enough at one of a lighthouse reunion
to meet I think, as I think, Bill Kemp and
his wife.

Speaker 14 (01:25:47):
Yeah, he was our lighthouse inspector, Bill and Kitty.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
And they were both delightful people. And I communicated with
them for a while because they were they were great
communicators and great people.

Speaker 14 (01:25:58):
Yes, yes, yes, so they're both passed on. Yeah, but
Bill was a great guy, real character, and he retired
in ninety seventy six.

Speaker 2 (01:26:10):
Oh wow, okay, that's a while ago.

Speaker 5 (01:26:12):
Yep. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:26:14):
I was at Pusic appointed at the end, and I was,
in fact, I was the last keeper there in ninety
eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
Eighty seven. Okay, what can you tell me about that?
Did the did the seaplane service that? Did they come
in there? Did the ships come in there.

Speaker 14 (01:26:29):
Yes, yes, when I joined the nineteen seventy five the
tourist air travel Grum and Amphibian. The pilot was Murray
Donald and the other pilot I could think of the
other names too, but Murray Donald was there. The pilot

(01:26:50):
was He now lives in Manipuri, I think, on the retirement.
And they used to come in once every three weeks
with the stores and supplies and land and long Sound
opposite Roa and we picked the supplies up from there
and moat of them and on the little boat the
I think it was about six miles down into the

(01:27:14):
oil store and and after that little Black used to
fly in.

Speaker 2 (01:27:20):
Oh yes, yes, I think I've read his book with
oh that chopped it. And were the people?

Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
I know?

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
Over the years there have been people like gold miners
that have stayed living in that area. Was there anyone
there that you when you were there?

Speaker 14 (01:27:33):
No, Okay, jules Burg was well known. Yeah, he died
in ninety fifty four and he's buried in Riverton, Okay.
And yeah. So but apart from that, no, tian A revolver.
They all up around there. They were quite heavily populated,
as you'll probably know, from reading that book Port Preservation

(01:27:55):
beg and.

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

Speaker 14 (01:27:59):
Yeah, it was a very interesting paste, Pius. The average
windspeed will put it this way. When the wind dropped
at night you woke up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
Yeah, I can imagine that.

Speaker 14 (01:28:12):
Average windspeed was thirty five or not. I remember meeting
you actually in Bluff.

Speaker 2 (01:28:17):
Oh yes, yep, yep, I do too, Kevin.

Speaker 14 (01:28:20):
Yeah, I lived in Boyne Street, number thirty, just past
Barrow Street there.

Speaker 3 (01:28:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:28:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
And where are you now? You and Foxhon? Did you say?

Speaker 8 (01:28:28):

Speaker 14 (01:28:29):
I live in Palmerston North here. I'm happily retired and
living the good life.

Speaker 2 (01:28:34):
Brilliant. I'm not going to a sweep o for the
Rugby tomorrow because I hate a sweep o. But if
Lowis wants to ring. People have asked about Lois what
she thinks is going to happen. Lowis is not a
great fan of a Scouto Robo Scott Robertson, but I'm

(01:28:56):
looking forward to it. He might have the mix right.
How I didn't get so good, got good, stayed good.
The player numbers alike. The numbers must be down on
Hurling anyway, It's a great Christmas gift. They'll scrub Daddy.

(01:29:20):
It cost you six dollars and nine cents. Yep, Michael Marcus, welcome, Hi,
How are you good? Michael Good?

Speaker 15 (01:29:32):
I just just on the Led Zeppelin album number four,
just on that Stairway to Heaven song. There was a
bit of copyright controversy with the band Spirit.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
I think it was they went to court, didn't they.

Speaker 15 (01:29:49):
Yeah, it was a song called Taurus. You listen to it.
It's sist a short song. It's only a musical. It
actually does sound like there was a story that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
They played support.

Speaker 15 (01:30:01):
Yeah, yeah, back they recorded that in sixty eight, sixty seven,
sixty eight, I think it was. And I think this
one Stairway to Heaven came out seventy one, recorded seventy
I suppose, and it does. Yeah, I don't know. I
think that when it went to court, they weren't allowed

(01:30:23):
to hear the song from our Spirit, the band. So yeah,
I'm interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
It's always interesting for me things like that, because there's
always a band that's been overlooked, isn't there that wants
to get some money? But it was Stairway to Heaven
that made the song great. So yeah, I don't know
what was the finding In the end.

Speaker 15 (01:30:52):
I was not guilty.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
Yeah, there's so many money.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:30:57):
The Spirit was a band from USA, I think when
Zeppelin were touring there, but there was another one with
another band. I guess it happens all the time. Barkman
turn Overdrive with a song let It Ride. That touring
with the Doo Brothers, and they were sharing a room

(01:31:18):
and they and Randy Barkman said they stole the riff
or long train running with the song let It Ride.
So I'm not sure what come off that. I think
it was just I think nothing come off with I
guess because.

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
You said, are you a musician? Because I ma, it's
always easy to pick up a rift inadvertently and not
to think you've actually made it up yourself, but actually
you've heard it previously. It kind of gets ear wound
and plans into your mind.

Speaker 15 (01:31:45):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, yeah. I guess over the over
the years, a lot of songs that they like the
I know, the led Zeppelins were infatuated with the blues
from America, so a lot of their riffs and that
come from there. A lot of rock and roll comes
from there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
I guess, do you listen to it?

Speaker 15 (01:32:05):
They may just try and make it their own don't
they Do you listen to it much? What's that? Oh yeah,
I've got a story about that. You were talking about
athletics through the week as the young kids, and we used
to do the Eastern Conference in now Smart our school. Yes,
and back in those days, I used to tape a

(01:32:26):
lot of albums and take the boombox boombox cassette. I
used to take it to our athletics meets and I
would thrash that album.

Speaker 12 (01:32:37):
Blasted on the Hill.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
Just sounds fantastic.

Speaker 15 (01:32:41):
That's what reminds That album reminds me of.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Are intermediate school at the time.

Speaker 4 (01:32:46):
I was at.

Speaker 15 (01:32:47):
I was in third form, I think in college.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
In what late civilies?

Speaker 15 (01:32:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I was listening to a lot
of stuff back then, but a lot of people were
more more mainstream. I was always the odd one brought
the new sounds in.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
You must have had a paper run to buy those
twelve batteries for your boom box.

Speaker 15 (01:33:09):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Unfortunately I had older brothers, so
yeah it was good.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
Yeah. That must have been one of the early boom
boxes too, ay, because they came in and they.

Speaker 15 (01:33:21):
Were good, yes, awesome, yep, yeah, I think I think.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
I was part of that Eastern Suburbs, Eastern thing that
we had athletic days at Mount Smart. It was always
a big deal, wasn't it.

Speaker 15 (01:33:32):
Like you say, it was good fun.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
And I loved athletics.

Speaker 15 (01:33:37):
Yes, yes, yes, supposed to do the rain I was
and more in the sprints, I tried the hurdles.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
Well, you give everything a go, you give everything a go.
Well in some days you're on. Some days you're often
really met us. Some days you did better than you
thought you would. That was always exciting.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:33:53):
Yeah, it was a good fun.

Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:33:57):
But a good album, A good album, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:59):
Great album. They're all good one, two, three, four, five,
all good. I spent about a year just listening to them,
so I thought I had to catch up, and some songs,
or most of the songs stayed with me. Actually, I
don't know what the best selling album was. I think
it was probably Lead Zip for I think I like
the second albums by the song that's the song I
love the most. And I'm trying to find out what
it is, right, the song I like the most, and

(01:34:22):
led Zeppelin is and it gets me every time. And
I'm going to look at the check track listings and
I'm not like an uber fan. But no, I don't
think I can. I don't think I can find the song.

(01:34:44):
I'm not going to give you another guessing competition. It
might be that one. Actually this isn't it? Quickly on
piffle If you don want to talk one hundred and
eighteen tay nine two nine to two to text nine
two nine two to come through. If there's something else
you want to mission, Yeah, that's it. What what what is?

(01:35:09):
And what should never be? That's I just love that
song gets me every time from the zip too. Don't know,
it's just it's just come as just so. I don't
know if it's a febril or ethereal it's one of
those words. Anyway, just bring it out there. Oh, listen
