Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Boo Gridding's welcome Marcus till two have. I hope it's
good where you are people. If it's not, going to
hope it gets better by midnight tonight. Firstly, first thing, foremost,
I tried some of that Witeker's banana caramel chocolate terrible
in the bin. I thought it might have that particularly
lovely flavor of banana that the once upon a time

(00:37):
the banana bike those old lollies had that would had
nothing to do with bananas. But gee, that tasted good.
This tastes nothing like it. It's just sweet and sickly.
It's not good at all. It's a f for fail.
It is a chocolate fail. There's that anyway. That's that.
That's the banana caramel. And I'll leave that out for
I don't know who I'll leave that for anyway, more

(01:01):
for me for buying into the hype. It was the
banana that got all banana. That's good. I like that
banana Bike's terrible anyway, So there's that. That's the first thing.
The second thing, this is not a major topic. This
is a side topic. Tonight, I am wearing something very unusual.
It's something I've never worn before. It's something I didn't

(01:26):
even know as a thing before tonight. I think you'd
be surprised. I'm not going to tell you can guess it.
Something very unusual, unusual to me and unheard of. So yeah,
I'm wearing that tonight. You might like to guess. Text
those through if you want to. It's nothing sordid, so

(01:51):
I put those Oh yeah you're wearing. Yeah, we can
put those phone calls away. Ahem. The third thing I
want to say, just first to first and foremost. I
don't even know where I'm going to go with this,
but I's going to say it, and I don't even
care what you think. I watched them sport on the weekend.

(02:17):
The South and Sharks are on a tear. They've won
nine on the trot. They could go all the way.
They could beat old Nick Mills' team on Saturday or
Sunday when it is so that's going to be exciting.
That's the Wellington Saints, so this is good. They're very
good team. I watched them lose five on the trot.
Now they've won nine in a row. So that's extraordinary.
So that's the South and Sharks. That's not what I

(02:38):
want to say. I watched that in the weekend. I
also watched the rugby the French, and then I watched
the Warriors and at the end of that I thought,
he's wrong going to say I thought the far superior
match was the Warriors. And the reason is because with
the NRAL, every week you've got to win, because that's

(03:02):
the table you want to get into the final light.
You've got to win your matches. It's a tight thing
and you've got to win. You've got to play to win.
That's why leg's exciting week after week after week. You
got to play to win. Nerves of steel, strong resolve,
strong lines. You the big backup team because they've got
to play as well. They've got to step in because
people get injured. Very exciting right to the final. We'll
see watch a match the rugby. It's only interesting every

(03:25):
four years. How arrogant to send down such a useless
team and they're all right the first week. Materio and
I just kind of think probably if I asked you,
in all seriousness, most people right would be happy to
get rid of the World Cup. We've had it for
twenty years now eighty seven, what's that thirty and thirty
eight years. Let's get rid of it. Let's get back

(03:47):
to test and everything that happened every year and mean something,
because thats is ridiculous, all those poor people paying money
in that Willington weather to go and watch something which
was not exciting. For a moment. Here's a couple of
kind of schoolboy like moves when they ran from the
front and did a kind of a ooh fentom run.
But yeah, it's not an exciting spectacle because it means

(04:08):
nothing to anyone. So I'm furious about that. Get rid
of the Rugby World Cup. We'll have it every year,
but get back to sport that matters everyone pretending. The
only guy that really looks serious about it was old
Jeff Wilson, who seemed furious with the caliber the thing,
as he should be. The rest of the commoners. I
didn't even know the player's names I've noticed anyway. That's

(04:31):
it for me. Get in touch, oh eight hundred and
eighty toighty toighty today in nine two nine, Mary, you're
upset about something. Welcome home, Mary, Thank you, honey.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Yes, I'm very very upset.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Do you know, I haven't, don't watch it on purpose,
but I'm just blown away by what's happening up in
the fruit bowl of New Zealand, or just about Tassica's Way.
We'ren't worried about been up there, but I'd love to
go back.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Listen, are you where to get me?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Mary?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Where do you live?

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Monica? I've told you that before.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Well, I don't know, it's just I just see names, Mir,
I don't know where people are.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
Well that's me okay, So what a.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Very upset. I'm very very upset about the laxadaisical approach
or they're not even approached it. But the government, why
don't they do see something serious for these poor people
up Nelson Way, all those you know.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
You have to put years, as we know, into what
they're doing, and it's all naked, it's all Sorry.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Are you saying about the flood? They're not cleaning up
for the flood?

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Well, I reckon why. It's like when it's happened.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Before up north further north?

Speaker 8 (06:00):
What are you get the army out?

Speaker 5 (06:02):
What are they doing? Look, we've got people people or
we paid for them. These rockets said they're they're blowing
off over in Australia and we've got years for a sis,
humanity's sake, we've got fireing over in Canada. Yes, that's right.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
We're always quick to see the firemen around the world,
aren't we. They're always overseas well.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
You know, there was one man there and he's just
when well, yes, but it's horrific and the rest the time,
I don't know, why can't we send.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Someone?

Speaker 5 (06:41):
What about what the army doing when they're just I'm
not being awful here of you know, my husband, my
father and uncles in the Second World, but it's not
the point I.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Would would have been compulsory in those days.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
But yeah, one years, that dear.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
But you know a lot of people have said this before,
and it's about time that was said again. Why you know,
I don't know who it was than whether it was
Sibing and Simon or something.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Simon, what are they supposed to be what are they
supposed to be doing up there?

Speaker 5 (07:14):
They're doing stuck?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Sorry, but what's wrong.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
With the thing?

Speaker 9 (07:17):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Because you've got to probably wait for the floods to receive.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Yes, but well it's absolutely you know this, it's man,
it's man's work. And it's men's work, you know. And
I mean I've been with how many years I've done
a lot of man's work as well.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
What a man's work have you done? No, I wouldn't
want to know.

Speaker 10 (07:41):
I have.

Speaker 5 (07:42):
But you know what I'm saying, it's I got there
and and not Yeah, of course, but anyway, that's not
it's not about me.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Well, I say, there's other people to talk. I didn't
watch the news, but yeah, and I think the governments,
I think the government vibe today was it's more about
councils cleaning up. The government's absolving themselves even though the
floods are going to get worse, and worse is the
c timate changes which the scene to resolve themselves from
as well. I'm hearing you, Mary, and I like the
way I use connected anyway, get in touch. My name
is Marcus HITD twelve Conrad Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 11 (08:17):
Oh yeah, yes, thanks Marcus. Yeah, I agree with her
to a certain Again, I do agree that defense or
you get involved, but I don't think you can be
too harsh on the government. They didn't think they didn't
open the heavens.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Well, well, okay, maybe that's a discussed for other night.
But anyway, what's your point, Conrad?

Speaker 11 (08:35):
Well, that's just a sixteen If Ukraine is more important
than apparently.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Well can't we do both?

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Well?

Speaker 11 (08:44):
The question is is the sixteen million to Ukraine? Actually
what is the point behind it? I don't get it.

Speaker 12 (08:52):
You told me why.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm not telling you anything because you just trojan horse
me to come in on the floods to go on
about Ukraine. Chief. So I just want a quiet night.
Sixteen past day, eight hundred and eighty toda eighty nineteen
ninex twenty five twenty five of steel against the Star.
I think it's called the Star. Oh Marcus, I've got

(09:18):
two blocks of a new winter banana carible today, just
had dinner doing the dishes. It will be might as
it please, await my verdint. Why would you buy two
packets where it's a brand new product? Anyway, get in touch?

(09:39):
Reading the text says they come your wife's nickers after
shave cravat kaftan braces at tech he's kilt. Have sent
a ground of watched rugby any morning over the all
becks legas farmer exciting flea sline crocs thermals a headscarf, slippers.
I did say, I've never heard of these things before,

(10:00):
or this thing you're wearing a bear and a string
of onions around your neck. To want a best steel day?
Is that? Jean Valjean? Can you hear the people sing
sing the song of angry men? I don't know you
are eighteen past eight. My name is Marcus head On Midnight,
he of the very end Tonight. I'm sick of Whittakers
with it. Just find one chocolate you've got it and
keep making it. There'd be my advice to you. It's

(10:25):
all about the you now, It's about hype, isn't it?
Goodness me? Anyway, I reckon with the floods, right, I
reckon the way the country is. I don't know if
this is quite true what I'm going to say. It

(10:46):
seems as though people make a lot more of a
song and dance about a natural disaster. If it happens
where all the reporters are, then you get the TV
coverage of people are more prone to do something. I
get that feeling to a christ which will maybe Wellington,
they get their attention. Kind of, I feel Nelson's forgotten about.
There's been no reporters that he had seen a stringer

(11:07):
up from christ Church. Or they probably want to get
a string to be a reporter filming stuff on a
cell phone camera. Then there'd be someone in the studio
talking over the pictures. No one cares about the provinces.
And as Mary said, the fruit bowl of New Zealand.
Don't think they call that anymore, do they? I think
it's the hot bowl. Get in touch, Marcus Till twelve,

(11:28):
eight hundred and eighty eight nine to text anyone else
sick of this Rugby World Cup every four years and
these this dismal spectacle We're get in between this pathetic,
absolutely pathetic. By the way, does mac and cheese day today?
Who doesn't love mec and cheese? Well, most people will

(11:48):
like it, but not not every day. I think is
probably not the good for you? Is it good for you?
I suspect it's probably not. Carbs and fat fat fat, fat, fat,
fat head On Midnight Miname is my welcome forty years

(12:09):
since Live Aid? Were you there? Not many sang, many
songs dire straight sung two songs. Sultans have swinging money
for nothing anyway, But I have tried the new banana caramel.
No good get in touch if you want to talk.
My name is Marcus Hurdle twelve. Looking forward to yourself.
Keep you up to date with you throughout the course
of the next four hours because a lot happening. Oh

(12:33):
by the way, I want sunny Bill to beat Gallon.
I won't watch it, I won't pay for it, I
won't be able to watch it after work. But yeah,
I'm looking forward to it. Although I quite like Gallon
here is tough. Hopefully sunny Bill will beat him on technique.
I reckon sunny Bill's charging for his posts on social media.

(12:56):
He hadn't heard as a criticism, wouldn't it cheapest? Luis,
This is Marcus. Welcome, Welcome to the airwaves.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Louise.

Speaker 13 (13:04):
Well, thanks Marcus. I just want to say I agree
with Mary, your previous caller, about the lack of assistance
that the settlement seems to be giving to these people
and the Tasman. I watched the news tonight, the one
one news, and they, you know, showed what's gone on

(13:26):
down there, and there's meters and meters and meats of
selt just like it was like Gabriel and.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
All, because it was it was a silt that really
devastated the crops, didn't it because they had to remove
it all.

Speaker 13 (13:38):
Yeah, and it's just it's kind of like we've got
these armed forces and well, you know, maybe the army,
and I can't understand why they don't get them and
to help out. It's in Hawk's Bay. They just lift
it all up to volunteers.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, and even lux And saying today that the government
won't be able to keep bathing out flooded homeowners. So
it seems as though they're pulling back as well, you know,
even though they're pulling back from climate change commitments also.
So it's it's a grave situation.

Speaker 13 (14:08):
Oh, it really is. And because you know, the the
amount of times these are happening, all these extreme events
in New Zealand, we've never had it like this one.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
No, and that's obvious because because the climate's changing. I
don't want to get into that, into that discussions because
people aren't that mature enough for that discussion. But what
will happen is the insurance companies they know what's happening,
and huge parts of New Zealand soon will not be
able to be insured because the insurance companies are about
making money and you know, and coastal properties, properties on floodplains.

(14:40):
People's livelihoods will be worth nothing.

Speaker 13 (14:43):
Yeah, it's quite I don't think the average person realizes
how bad it's going to be.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
They don't because he's vested interest trying to say, oh,
it's all fine, this is just a glitch.

Speaker 13 (14:54):
No, no, but I felt really sorry. There was one
guy on there, and he suggested he wanted a grand
He like he was very the way he spoke, he
was really like he was measuring his words, but he
started about that noise in the background. He was measuring
his work the way he was talking, And I felt

(15:16):
really sorry for him because he'd just beened up after
the first Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Absolutely, it seems it seems as though the pressure system
that we used to get down south has moved up there.
Nelson's coughing everything. We're had fifteen degrees in sunlight and bluff,
We've had the most extraordinary couple of weeks. But up
there it's just wow, it's that's just it's just soul destroying.

Speaker 13 (15:38):
They just leave them to their own devices, and you know,
where do they get the money. That's what happened in
Hawk Spain, people growing, men howling, you know, and they
had spend ten thousands and thousand millions of dollars on
the clean up, but they couldn't walk away. It's yeah,
I agree with Mary, and I don't know what the

(15:58):
ants is, but the government certainly doesn't seem to be coming,
you know, they don't seem to be giving people hope
that they're going to be the ones helping.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Nice to hear from you, Luis, thank you twenty six
past eight Carriots, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 12 (16:14):
Hey make us see something for you, mate? Do you
know how real guilty of We finished week?

Speaker 14 (16:20):
Right?

Speaker 12 (16:20):
Maybe not you maybe finished week and we go home,
we kind of snink that pile, or we think that
going to the supermarket or sink someone and we get
something in and he called us, didn't point out about it,
Your wife doesn't point out that or whatever yourself. Are
you guilty of that?

Speaker 15 (16:36):
Marcus? Not really?

Speaker 12 (16:38):
Not really okay. So anyway, Sue was coming home the
other night from work and she called in and bought
a Whitaker's Peanuts s lab and she bought she get
away with it, you see. So she opened it up
and it was a block of plasics and with a
whole lot of writing on the top and so anyway,

(17:00):
she compessed the secret to me that she got a
Peanuts chap on the way home and she won seventy
five Peanuts threats, really seventy five, and it's me that
has to go on to the website and do the
code and all that. I know there on a train
on train, I'm driving the bus.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Oh okay, So I didn't even know there was a
competition on.

Speaker 12 (17:26):
Well, yeah, well, you know put of a disappointment though,
isn't it. You know, you're sort of you're on your
way home. Here you go and grab something and it's
a block a play state unless than one seventy pots,
same to peanut.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
So was there a competition on well, I don't know.

Speaker 12 (17:43):
She didn't know. She just grabbed the peanut stat from
the supermarket, opened it up in the carron the slav
a play stack. We're writing on it.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
I don't know what's going on there. Okay, Carrie, thank you, Marcus.
I was there at Live Aid at ninety five. I
left my big ol N and Lune the Menage to
get tickets to Live Aid. The best content I've ever
been to, and I've been through over the forty years.
Just incredible and I've telled that US Quiet with Freddie
Mercury stole the show. Oh yeah, I might watch it again.

(18:19):
Get in Touched by Name's Marcus welcome? Oh wa eight
hundred and eighty tenty at nineteen ninety How gez a
good text? How come no one is asking the forest
industryhy they don't clean up their slash? Yet another flood
made a hundred times worse because I left over slash.
There must be a use for slash, isn't there? Can't
they make it into things you put in your fire,
like briquettes or something. Marcus Jeep is coming in hot

(18:44):
tonight with a chocolate hate. I reckon you were wearing
possum skin nipple warmers. And in the future, could you
please remember when Mary lives. It's interesting, probably talked about
two hundred people a week. But I see for me,
it's just me talking to someone, But for them it
might be a significant moment because they're on the radio.
I don't remember everyone's from, but clearly she's from Warnaker anyway,

(19:10):
hed on midnight. If you want to be a part
of it, Oh, Rugby World Cup, get rid of it? Boy,
oh boy, it just makes a mockery of it, doesn't it.
I mean, look what we've got, look a look at that,
and they're not going to be any better in Hamilton.
How dare they not stay there just driving down her
up for the day cheapers anyway, head on midnight. My

(19:32):
name is Marcus, Welcome eight hundred eighty ten eighty. Yeah,
we wanted to mean something. The matches, Marcus pinut Steves
have been around for seventy five years. That's the promotion.
Had no idea where the advertisers on social warmer the
social media anyway, Marcus sick of the Rugby World Cup

(19:59):
has ruined enjoy me of the game for me. Team's
not picked on current form, and coaches care about trialing,
players don't mind losing between tournaments. Yeah that's right. It's
all about building up for that grand thing. Then we
choke anyway, Then they go on and on about how
many phases of of they go back on the TMO. Wow,

(20:20):
And that women's rugby match wasn't much better because the
os is went any good. One of the women was
about seven. It's very young. I mean I suppose I
should sort of judge her on her age, But well
that was quite moving her debut anyway, Stue Marcus, evening, Marcus.

Speaker 15 (20:38):
Are you here now? I do absolutely wholeheartedly agree with
what Mary said a couple of callers ago and so,
and don't come short, please, I'm not political and that
I am genuine and so in the end, when there's

(21:00):
a disaster happens, regardless of who the governments, I think
that New Zealanders we should all chip in when the
chips are down for those people. And one thing that
was noticeable over the last maybe decade or so, people
have become more self centered and more worried about themselves.

(21:23):
But it would be a much better world, in a
much better country if we're actually worried about other people
that were disadvantaged or get hit by a storm or whatever,
should be there to help.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
When you say chippin', what do you mean?

Speaker 15 (21:39):
Oh well, sorry to excuse the ton, but wh when
forestry has been felled and you see what happened on
the East coast and now what's just happened with the slash,
it is a pun. We need to chip in and
help them because.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
I knowed you what happened. Hang on to you. I'm
going to talk now because what happened in places like
Gabrielle right that people want to help and they donated
the huge amounts of gods. But but what they found
is they didn't want old clothing and stuff. And it
seemed as though sometimes when they had donations, people just

(22:15):
sent look at old clothes and mattresses and stuff, and
it became more more a hindrance than help because they
didn't found when you ask people to help out, they
don't tend to donate the appropriate things.

Speaker 15 (22:28):
Okay, so we need a bit of guidance.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, that's it. You do the guidance good.

Speaker 15 (22:33):
So the guidance is people offering to get down there
and help the organization of whether it's a government or
local people down there that get to support, whether it's
fixing up fencelines, cleaning out block trains, supporting people when
they're cut off. I think that that's what really New

(22:56):
Zealanders need to get back to being.

Speaker 10 (22:59):
Sure helping one another.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
And I don't know if the infrastructure is there for everyone,
their accommodation to accommodate everyone that arrives to help out.

Speaker 15 (23:07):
Somebody has. Somebody has to pull there together. Marcus, whereould
you put the where would you put the local bodies. Well,
you just don't worry about that. In the old days
when I was at school, Search and Rescue didn't worry
about how cold it was going to be or how
risky it was going to be. They went out into
the tower roots and they rescued people.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Hang on stew I don't think I don't think Search
and Resky has got any any flakey out. I think
Search and Whisky will still go out in any conditions.
I won't have a bad word about them.

Speaker 15 (23:39):
I'm not saying a bad word about that.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Went out in all conditions, as though they don't do
that now.

Speaker 15 (23:47):
Well, look at river. Look at Pike River. The people
were in there. The people should have gone in there
straight away to see if he was survivors real.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well, well, okay, okay, fair enough, But yeah, that's okay.
I don't know what you want to say about Pike River.
That's I think it's a bit of a stretch, isn't it.
But hered on midnight to my name is Marcus Welcome
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two
to text. I didn't see the news footage of how

(24:19):
bad things were in Nelson, but maybe people there can
tell us what they want to have happened. That's probably
the best from the horse's mouth. If you're in Nelson,
if you're in Hope, if you're in tupper Weather, if
you're in Mitawaka, if you're in Tarcica, what do you want?
I guess the worst things are those people on the
river flat when they've got all that silt dubbed on

(24:40):
the land. And I guess I don't know when the
next tempest is going to be. I was talking to
someone about the river before the Motte River. I think
she's normally quite a low flowing kind of a thing.
I caught it with mate Gaff, who comes from there,
and he says, no, normally just wade across it, just
a brook. Why he's a big unit marcus. I have

(25:01):
no affiliation with him, even know much about them. But
on my Facebook for used ared article about the New
Zealand Youth Choir when an international youth choir accompetition in Wales,
just so it was worth a benchin. Oh that's big.
You go to Wales and clean up whale you clean
them up and singing, well, that's that's Colster Newcastle. Is
that the right analogy? Good? Evening. Christus is Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 7 (25:22):
Yeah, I guess thanks for taking a calling. We talk
about things incident and I've just been listening to the
last few callers. I'm part of a motorcycle club that's
Wellington based and we still every three months or so
we have a weekend where we ride up to Napier
and we he'll clean up our house. So our next

(25:44):
one is the first weekend in August and there's a
charity up there who's run by Martha. She organizes a
house that might need some help, and we go around
and we chop do on.

Speaker 9 (25:55):
Trees, and we clean drains and we rebuild pagolas or
whatever they provide lunch, We stay at the Mariah on
the Friday night, in the Sunday night, go to the
RSA for a few drinks and a bit of.

Speaker 7 (26:09):
Karaoke on Saturday night, and then right home on Sunday.
So when people talk about helping, it's not the first thirty, sixty,
ninety or even one hundred and twenty days. It just
keeps on going.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
This is very interesting because I didn't realize and you're
going to tell me there are still houses that are
flood damaged.

Speaker 7 (26:29):
Is that right. That is correct. There's some people that
still don't have full services. There's still people whose properties
are in an atrocious state because the main recovery entities
have left and it's purely up to charities or those
people who want to give their time to go up
and do some work. So whilst we talk about the

(26:51):
old bugger that's just happened to Nelson, let's have somebody
thinking about the strategic approach in six and nine months
time for all those people who don't have insurance or
don't have ability to do something.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Martha, would you say it? Is it Martha?

Speaker 7 (27:08):
Yes, it's Martha. The charity's name has just gone out
of my mind. She's got on a ward for what
she's doing. The charity actually finishes in December this year,
so we're on our last run to get the last
few houses down, otherwise it's over. And she's got a
couple of trailers. They've got a Jenny that I've got
all the stuff, but at that too, and you are.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
You you're not you're are you? Are you? You're not
pitched mo butt, So you're you're not again?

Speaker 7 (27:33):
No no no, no, no, no no no no no. We're
just a motorcycle just a motorcycle club, so yeah, just
just normal one. And the Prince thought it was a
great idea. So we've got members all up and down
the Ninth Island and we might have people come down
from Auckland or Tower and were just right up and
social writers. That's all we are, not again club or
anything like that. Just go up, work for a day
and then leave.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Is there an is there an end in site?

Speaker 7 (27:58):
Well, there's an end in sight for the charity because
the registration period and I've decided to wind up in
December this year because it does take a hell of
a toll on the Aunises who go through and do
this sort of work. But they thought really smart. They've
got a little catering trailer. They've got a couple of
trailers to put all the tools in and that means
we can just turn up on the motorbike and everything's there.

(28:19):
Just as an example. It's not just us. They do
stuff during the week Marth's clean up crowd or something
like that. It's called and you've been doing that eas
the week after Gabriel happened.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Is it two years ago now? It's hard to remember?
Was it three?

Speaker 7 (28:34):
Yeah? I think it might be three actually, but you know,
you drive up through that s valley and you can
still see signs of their of houses that still have
mud and grow it up against the sides and people
not living on them. So it's really it's scary, not
only for the people that are there. And you know,
we got we did stories of people clinging to their
roof and the team first went up about two months

(28:56):
after it first happened. So for those that want to
help Maria great places an individual propart.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
It sounds like a really good weekend. What are the
go to karaoke songs?

Speaker 16 (29:07):
Now?

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Is it wagon wheel or what do you do us?

Speaker 7 (29:10):
I don't do anything, Markers, I'm afraid I leave that
up to others. You're the only thing I can do
is play the fall, So I'm not a good at
anything else. But I can swing a hammer and work
out some plumbing stuff and bit some pieces like that.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Incredibly rewarding how much work a group of motivated people
can do in a short length of time, isn't it.
I mean that's you know, it's an amazing thing to
be a part of.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
It's like the student the Volunteer Army that that was
down in christ Church and what they did in their organizations.
Just we don't. We're in a country that we have
houses that are built in the wrong place. We have
challenges with Resource Management Act and all that sort of stuff.
Just get in there with a dam spade, dig a hole,
make the water work, get people their power. They'll be

(29:54):
appreciated of that. The food and all stuff will happen. Niceties,
you know.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Nice for Chris, very powerful. Appreciate your enthusiasm. You're clear,
You're clear to phrase. Sorry, Marcus, but stewarts a butt cake.
Search and Rescue are not worried about any weather. That's right.
I thought Search and Rescue were doing I thought that
they were fearless. You never complained about Search and rescue.

(30:21):
The only thing with Search and rescue is they probably
needed more because I think probably emergency locator beacons give
people a false sense of security. Marcus, Why isn't the
previous caller complaining now and going to help, going down
to help out like the other bikers. Exactly. Sam from

(30:47):
Kuala Lumps emailed formerly of Pooh Hooy. My family and
I've just moved to kal Skip Dozzie. We've been delivered
a few blocks of Whittaker's arm and golden couple of peanuts.
Slabs would have been disappointed if I've got a block
of but Anna caramel. We can actually get Whittakers blocks
of the supermaking qual number, but they are only two
hundred grams. Haven't spotted the beasts yet. We'll work out

(31:08):
how to text message you from here? Can't seem to you.
Can you text from overseas? Dan can't text from overseas?
Email or Facebook message. We can call on WhatsApp. WhatsApp
hawks By Clean Up Team is the Facebook search group

(31:31):
to search. So yeah, I kind of felt like when
as in the in the cut and thrust of the
actual storm, I always thought that we would continue to
hear about what's happening in Hawk's Bay, but that yeah,
I haven't heard much of it. So I'm surprised to
hear things are still not crash hot there, but not

(31:52):
surprised because that is a big event head on midnight.
If you want to be a part of the show
eight hundred and eighty eight, if you went to live
give me a holler forty years ago today, I thought, yeah,
it just went for the one day. I think all

(32:12):
day one day, any breaking news I'll bring that to
you tonight, but get in touch if you want to talk.
I don't know how many people sign up to that

(32:33):
gall and fight anyway, but yeah, anyone else feel that
after the fast that was the weekend rugby, that our
rugby diet, the matches were served up year to year,
we're a lot better before the Rugby World Cup because
this is terrible a third string French team. It's just meaningless.

(33:02):
Where As you look at rugby league and you know
the season, every match needs to be won, so you're
going to wait till the end because it's exciting. Anyway,
Macaroni cheese day, anyone had a beef? We a lot
of talk about the beef willing kids are back at school.
But the younger boys asking me was what didn't kill
the room beef Wellington? They must be talking about it

(33:24):
at school, so we'll try and make one. I tried
to explain. I said, it's like a glorified sausage roll
and we'll probably go with yeah, well that's that's that.
That's what I'll try and do. I guess this is
the sort of story that resonates with children. How do

(33:46):
you kill? He said, how do you kill?

Speaker 7 (33:47):
Them.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
How'd she kill them? Poison mushrooms? So yeah, it seems
tot of trickled down talk in the playground anyway. Apparently
Spotify is under no obligation to say if the music
on their website is AI generated, So you're not quite

(34:08):
sure now if you're listening to music, music by musicians
or music by AI. This is Velvet Sundown. This was
the band that took the world by storm, but it
was just an AI generated thing. They said, music similar
to Crosby Stills, Nash and all the rest was just garbage. Yeah,

(34:30):
so probably your Spotify playlist's going to be infiltrated by
just AI, so you probably get your music soundtrack. They'll
try and create bands that are just like the sort
of music you want, so be infistrate, infiltrated, infistrated. They'll
be infiltrated by AI bands. So it's the end of music,

(34:56):
seems to be, doesn't it. Marcus Probably one Channel three
plus one tonight at nine forty murder I Mushroom come
with a better title, couldn't they. I'm going to wait
for some of the shows that are a bit more well
thought out. Although I've read most of the articles I

(35:23):
seem to have a fity good grasp of it. The
only article I haven't read of the ones on the
Daily Mail that are paywalled about salacious details of what
she can expect in the women's prison, which I wasn't
really interested, although I have a slight interest in women's
prisons from spending some of my school age years watching

(35:47):
prisoner Cell Block H. I don't think we call it
cell block H. But yeah, there's a certain fascination people
here with those female prison dramas, aren't they and the
relationships formed within them. Yeah, but I've soon realized that
the Daily Mail is quite a good thing because it's

(36:07):
the garbage it's all behind the paywall works quite well
from a reader's point of view. Here or Midnight Monuments
Marcus good Evening. Apparently Spotify is under no obligation to
say if the music on their website is AI generated,
so you're not quite sure now if you're listening to music,
music by musicians or music by AI. This is Velvet Sundown.

(36:33):
This was the band that took the world by storm,
but it was just an AI generated thing. They said,
music similar to Crosby, Stills, Nash and all the rest
was just garbage. Yeah, so probably your Spotify playlist's going
to be in infiltrated by just AI, so you probably

(36:57):
get your music soundtrack. They'll try and create bands that
are just like the sort of music you want, so
be infrastrate, infiltrated, infrastrated. They'll be infiltrated by AI band.
So it's the end of music. Seems to be, doesn't it.

(37:19):
Marcus pro one Channel three plus one tonight at nine
p forty Murder by Mushroom come with a better title,
couldn't they. I'm going to wait for some of the
shows that are a bit more well thought out. Although
I've read most of the articles, I seem to have

(37:40):
a fity good grasp of it. The only article I
haven't read of the ones on the Daily Mail that
are paywalled about salacious details of what she can expect
in the women's prison, which I wasn't really interested, although
I have a slight interest in women's prisons from spending

(38:02):
some of my school age years watching Prisoner Cell Block h.
I don't think we call it CEL, but yeah, there's
a certain fastination people here with those female prison dramas,
aren't they, And the relationships formed within them. Yeah, but
I've soon realized that the Daily Mail is quite a

(38:24):
good thing because it's the garbage. It's all behind the paywall.
Works quite well from a reader's point of view. Hered
on Midnight Monuments Marcus Good, Evening. The Rugby World Cup,
what it's done to destroy rugby three years, three and
a half years, every year, every four years, every quad
number of years, every three and a half of them,

(38:44):
like seventy eighty percent of it's just rubbish because people
just playing to not give everything away to get ready
for the World Cup. Ridiculous idea. Although now Gregor Paul
saying the future for money is to actually go and
recruit players from around the world after the success of

(39:04):
the Dutch tall Timber. That's interesting, isn't it. So I
guess yeah, it probably will happen that the Dutch is
going to start watching rugby. I guess I don't know
how it's gone down over there. It's probably a big story,
you'd think, you'd hope. So anyway, Head on Midnight Minaments,
Marcus Good Evening, Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

(39:26):
Hendle twelve, Get in touch, anything else you want to mention? Good, good, good, good, good, good, good,
keep it going. I haven't read much about the German
backpacker that survived in Australia. If someone could actually tell
me more about that, I'd be curious. What was her mistake? Oh,
nock to the head, that'll do it. Gosh, I'd a

(39:46):
bang to the head this weekend, gog. Nothing quite like
the feeling of jumping up and getting a bang to
the head. Is there sort of sort of surprise followed
by realization of your own stupidity, followed by how am

(40:08):
I going to pass out? Terrible? She wears that lump.
I didn't test for a lump, but they've got a lump.
Just picked felt went down to pick up a sock
and jumped up too quickly and hit kind of shelving
cheapest anyway? Is it an interesting she had a tap

(40:32):
on the head. This is the German backpacker, so she
wasn't fedling herself. She was wandering around the wheat belt
confusion after the crash. So yeah, should have stayed with
the car, Marcus. The Rugby World Cup is an international
waste of time that extracts millions of dollars from nations
who will never win it. Today, I asked over ten
people who was the current holder. Nobody knew the excuse

(40:57):
of nation losing a game, a saying they are just
preparing for the Cup. What rubbish? The years in between
no longer have meaning. That's right, So we've actually thrown
out any of those meaningful tours and tests all for
the sake of the Rugby World Cup. Kind of makes
me furious. I'll enjoy it when it comes around, but
in the meantime I don't enjoyed it all. I think

(41:18):
we're better off before it. Anyway, Get in touch, Marcus
till midnight, Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine
two ninety And as I said at the beginning of
the show, I'm wearing something unusual today. Something Not only
is the thing that I am wearing unusual, but before
today I didn't even know it was a thing. So yes,

(41:42):
there we go. See how good your imagination with that
one is? Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two
nine ten Text, looking forward to what you've got to say?
Text or call or email and hittle. Twelve o'clock tonight.
People are quite worried about the floods around the country.
There is a fitting of helplessness. I'm not hearing the

(42:03):
people of Nelson complaining stoic people. That's the impression I
am getting. So yeah, get in touch, you want to
be a part of it. Eight hundred and eighty nine
nine to text Alison ats Marcus good evening.

Speaker 17 (42:23):
Hello. Just about the netball. They have been showing it
a match every Saturday at four o'clock and they've decided
now to stop showing those and this week they're going
to be showing the football on there. So is at
the end of the netball that we get the free match.
That's till I'm sort of want who to find out.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
I don't know who's winning the net ball. I've got
no idea.

Speaker 17 (42:40):
Oh that the mystics. Well that's another thing that's underseeing
now because I don't mind old and New Zealand players
coming back into the team, but they're able to bring
across Australian players now and are very tall shooters now
in the Mystics, and no one's ever going to be.

Speaker 6 (42:53):
Able to Oh I saw her.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
She's she looked like she's like she's about six.

Speaker 17 (42:57):
Foot four original, yeah, Aboriginal, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
Yeah, okay, what's her name?

Speaker 5 (43:03):
Walden?

Speaker 17 (43:04):
That's her name is Walden. I think she has been
about three or four weeks. You haven't been playing, but
they brought they rested her up now and brought her
back for these last matches and they weren't convincingly. Now
they beat the Tactics by that twelve goals, so they
will win the final probably. I'm saying that, but I'm
going to be hoping for the polls to win. So
I did not say that ahead of time. But it
doesn't make it fair when you've got a very very

(43:25):
tall shooter.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
But you could say that about You could say that
about the shop pot with Valerie Adams though all sports.

Speaker 17 (43:31):
Probably.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Yeah, is your name? I can't see. I'm just trying
to get ahead.

Speaker 17 (43:38):
Surname's Walden.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
I think it might be Donald Wallam, is it?

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (43:43):
I think so? Yes, she doesn't think he might be that.
She's controversial over in Australia, something to do with being
an aboriginy something or rather there was some controversy controversial,
would you well, I don't know. There was something coming
up on the news one stage their way back, and
I don't know what it was, but he has come
over to you.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
She's six foot four.

Speaker 17 (44:05):
Yeah, yeah, evens.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
No, but look at look at basketball.

Speaker 17 (44:13):
I don't know. But anyway, and I must say the
young girl and the cycling, that's right, Sammy.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
Oh yes, because she changed your name from she's the
calling your Samara or something. Now I saw that. I
read about that today. She's done. She's done very well.

Speaker 18 (44:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (44:29):
When a chain came up and she got a friend
and she managed to get the chain eaving back on
again and she won that event. You we never thought
she could come back, and she was amazing.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Were you watching that? Where was that on?

Speaker 17 (44:39):
I saw it on the highlights on the news on
the sports news tonight, but it was they just showed
trying to get the people were helping her get the
whole chain back on her bike, and she's sex when
she came back for being sex to won the mat.
Wonder ra.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Okay, that's good stuff. Elis so nice to hear you.
Thank you for that. Eight hundred and eighty.

Speaker 7 (44:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
I kind of got confused because an article I had
a saying Samara, but normally she identifies as Semi. So
I don't know what was happening there calling you very
a different name that go'll be confused say it's Marcus
good evening.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Hello, Denny. Please, can I ask you a couple of questions?

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Did you call me? Did you call me Danny?

Speaker 12 (45:13):
Though?

Speaker 6 (45:15):
Yeah, I'm sorry Marcus, Marcus, oh god, sorry Marcus love.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
How long since Danny was on the radio.

Speaker 6 (45:23):
Because we are his fate to me? When he outs
of the phone, did always say what he hello?

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Fay Marcus, Oh, I see what you say?

Speaker 3 (45:33):
Okay, Okay, I talk about Dan the producer, not Danny Watson.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
No, no, no, Dan the producers lovely.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
He's one of the greats. But yeah, I thought you're doing.

Speaker 6 (45:43):
About I want to ask you a couple of questions. Please.
As I told you before, I'm from the neck. You know,
I treat that their brothers as my Michael Paulos. Everybody
teases me of my gwen sons. And what's the latest
on Scott because something has been mentioned about him when
he came Yeah, number one, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
I don't know, idea, I don't find it closely. What's
the same Scott Barrett? Is he injured?

Speaker 11 (46:11):
He's injured?

Speaker 6 (46:12):
To kept them, he came off about the success minutes
in the second game.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
And that he was ruled out before Yester the game
in the week and he was ruled out last week.

Speaker 6 (46:26):
And they put out and yeah, first day back at
school of them, but bloody tired.

Speaker 12 (46:33):
And yeah, okay, yep.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
The next question, and also why aren't the French? Why
are the French got empty Hamilton? Because evidently they are
only going up for the game and going back wherever
they're staying. By not staying over in Hamilton for the
night got on them.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
They can stay where they want, can't they?

Speaker 6 (46:53):
But are they anti anti Hamilton or something?

Speaker 3 (46:55):
They might just be pro somewhere else. Okay, the friends,
they love their food and they love their wine. They
might have some being subsequent epicurean strong place that they
want to But I don't know where they'd be staying.
But I don't know where they I don't know where
they would be.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
They came out of the radio of the night that France.

Speaker 16 (47:15):
Hat.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
I'm fully aware of that. But yeah, I don't know
where they are. But they're not staying in Hamilton, But
I mean only an hour and a half from Auckland. Crusoe, Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 19 (47:24):
Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
How's it going good than Crusoe?

Speaker 19 (47:28):
Hey? Hey, hey, so Thursday last week, I was working
in Auckland and just after lunch would have been about
one o'clock we look up at the sky. There is
the gild almost big Kim Trail going from the south
of the North Okay. And I've talked to the workmates
that I say, oh, here we go. We're in some

(47:48):
bed wether for the next few days. We're all just joking,
but sure enough, Friday, steamy, rainy, Saturday, Sunday, Monday today
is still a bit of precipitation. So I just wondering
if you do with else, is through detained the same
conspiracies or ahead of a fade, or.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Can't you get on your own website With those people
that are into the Kim Trails and believe that stuff,
I kind of I kind of see them as been
idiots nine nineteen, Jeff, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 10 (48:23):
Yeah, greatly mate. I heard that guy about the world
rugby and about how there was a waste of time
and this and that and that was me Jeff, Well,
that was not a waste of time. Rugby has been
in New Zealand for many years. I know it's advance

(48:44):
and I know you.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
Hang on im, miss I'm missing I'm missing words. Jeff,
you know what, what's that? I'm missing words? You were saying?
What could you repeat what you said? I know it's
something vance or something.

Speaker 10 (48:57):
Yeah, I said, okay, the cost of rugby. It was
very expensive, but of people. Enough enough people go there
and we've had crowds at the All Blacks game and
for France and the next one is things. But to me,

(49:18):
you know, people should not criticize the All Blacks.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
If people can do what we want, people can do
what they want. We don't live in the world with
thought police. People can say what exactly exactly what they want.
It's not like the All Blacks or sports beyond criticism. God,
that's how whole sports talk stations work as people industy
criticizing sports and coaches and players. That's the whole reason
of sports for people to come up with their opinion.

(49:44):
So yeah, I don't reckon you know what you're talking about. Jeff.

Speaker 10 (49:47):
I wanted to get off the radio. I said, have
you ever played rugby?

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (49:55):
Have you have?

Speaker 17 (49:56):
You?

Speaker 9 (49:57):
Have?

Speaker 11 (49:57):
You? Y?

Speaker 7 (49:58):
I have?

Speaker 3 (49:59):
How long is what?

Speaker 10 (50:03):
Since? Nine years of age?

Speaker 3 (50:07):
What do you think do you think the French should
send down a third rate team?

Speaker 19 (50:12):
Ah?

Speaker 10 (50:13):
They can send out whoever they like. It's talk to them,
it's not up to us.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Well, it makes the whole mockery of it, and I
don't be surprised if people stop going to matches and
stop watching it. Marcus, this is funny, Marcus. A friend
of mine is going to a death cap dinner on
Saturday night. The ladies have to dress like the mushroom lady.
The guys have to look like victims. Beef Wellington's a
different color plates with won dish having something in it

(50:41):
that when discovered, they are the victim. That's fantastic. Wow,
So there's Beef Wellington parties get kids were first day
I stows up the boys asking me all about how
they did it. Must be talking about it at school.

(51:02):
I suppose I can really get it.

Speaker 7 (51:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Oh, by the way, that woman that got lost in
the desert in Australia, she's made a remarkable account of herself.
She's front of the media and with extraordinary grace and
gratitude and explained very clearly what happened to her. The
car crashed and she knocked her head and she got

(51:31):
disorientated and she went west. She stayed in the car
for a while and she went west and she's found
twenty four k's away from the car. She'd drunk from puddles,
she'd slept in caves. I really need to see a
map of where it all happened. But yeah, she did

(51:52):
remarkably well so and that's probably certainly. I think probably
people were speclaying that there was some sort of obfuscation
or some sort of confusion illegality with it, but it
seems very straightforward. So yeah, that's remarkable story. She survived

(52:14):
twelve days. I don't know how far away from Perth
it was. No one's managed to work out the strange
item of clothing I am wearing. I don't even know
if you'd call it clothing, and just a clue it's
an item of clothing. Before today, i'd never heard of
someone said is it a snood? Now, for those that
don't know what a snood is, I don't even know.

(52:38):
It's a portmanteau word. A snood is like something like
a tube of fabric that goes around your neck and
then you can pull it up so that goes around
your mouth on the back of your head. I think
the Scottish made it famous. It was a symbol of chastity.

(53:02):
But two things. I had heard of a snood and
it's not a snood. Terrible word though, snowed, isn't it.
It's not a snood or a beard snood which is
also a thing, So not a snood, not a keftan.

(53:24):
I think you'll probably get it by the end of
the show. I'll help you out though, get in touch.
Marcus till twelve have made the comment that the league
in the weekend was so much more exciting than the
rugby because the league, the result matters, because you're playing
for a championship. You want to be in the top
aid of the table, hopefully the top four for a
home semi. Well, that rugby match that was meaningless, absolutely meaningless,

(53:52):
and there might be people turning up, but there's less
and less people turning up for things like Super rugby
and before long next time the French come, no one's
going to buy tickets. Only could have been so long
away that people bought the tickets anyway. By the way,
this Saturday, last Saturday, next Saturday Saturday marks one year

(54:15):
since the crowd strike virus took down the world. Remember
that the Blue Screen of Death Day. This Saturday coming
up Dan was it. Yep, this Saturday. It's also Shark
Awareness Day today and World Chimpanzee Day. The other thing

(54:38):
I can tell you is that tauveln Dean they've hung
up the skates. They have skated for the last time
with balerro See they look old, well they are old.
He's sixty six, she's sixty seven. So yep, they've done

(55:02):
their dash. Oh I guess for sixty six sixty seven,
they look pretty good. They'd be better on ice, and I
would be, but they have called it today. The final
Ballero shared. They continue to work together on other projects,
but they would not be skating on ice together for

(55:24):
goodness sake, remark al Ready, so much of their lives
they spent spinning each other around. So there we go.
That's Tavel and Dean. Anne, Marie, it's Marcus.

Speaker 6 (55:38):
Good evening, good, how are you doing good?

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Thank you good.

Speaker 18 (55:45):
I've just been laughing. I've never heard of this snood.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
I said it if you said it right, if I
said it right.

Speaker 18 (55:52):
Well, this is why I'm ringing, just as a bit
of a laugh, because I'm thinking you said it was
Scottish right, So I'm wondering if it's a snood because
it's like a scarf and a hood.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
I don't quite know what Okay, a portmanteau word.

Speaker 18 (56:07):
Yeah, but but but snood right, and then you think
Scottish is like snood, which is like snood, which would
sound like snood or however you said it. I can't
do it now.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
I think I think people like outdoor types with them
and Queenstown around their neck and then when they go
out they pull them up a bit and like Arctic
antactic explorers.

Speaker 18 (56:33):
Oh yeah, I know, I'm sure I know what you mean.

Speaker 16 (56:35):
It was.

Speaker 18 (56:36):
It's like a fleecy scarf thing.

Speaker 6 (56:37):
I don't know what you call it, but.

Speaker 18 (56:38):
Yeah, no, it's it's a good thing. Like it's never
heard that word before, but I was thinking of it.
If you say it and work like with a good
Scottish accent, it probably does sound like how did you
pronounce it?

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Snood? I think snood?

Speaker 18 (56:52):
Yeah, snood. So if you say snood like kid in Scotland,
right snood.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
But as a kid, but as a kid, the worst
item of clothing was ever always was a jersey with
a with a high neck. So imagine just having the
high neck and nothing else. It's torture.

Speaker 18 (57:11):
It's true. Oops, never mind anyway.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
Nice to hear from you, and may there we go.
There's a snow boy, that's one thing. I've got a
snowed call. Someone out there might have a snood. I
didn't mention the item of clothing up that. People are
becoming very poor at guessing what I'm wearing today. It's nothing, Marcus.
Are you wearing a cravat instead of a tide?

Speaker 16 (57:33):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (57:33):
I'm not, and I do know the word cravat. It's
something I've never heard of. Marcus just tuned in. It's
also best deal day and I'm not wearing a gilly.
I'm not wearing toa socks Marcus. How disrespectful by having

(57:54):
a beef Wellington party like that? The woman in Australia
is poisoning your family members with mushrooms and dressing up well.
I think most people have. There has been most people's reaction.
In fact, someone said to me, it sounds very youth groupe,
like Christian youth groups would do that sort of thing.
So yeah, I don't know if it is disrespectful. I
think probably that's what happens. There are cases that come

(58:14):
along from time to time that get people talking and
become phenomenons. So he who's talking about the mushroom case
the kids at school obviously talking about in the playground, because
my kids are talking about it, or one of them is.
We've been talking about on the radio. There's TV show
after TV show. The papers are obsessed with it. So yeah,

(58:36):
why wouldn't you have a beef Wellington party? And the
other thing about a beef Wellington right, And I'm going
to go on a limb here and say that most
of us have never tried it, but we've all watched
videos of Gordon Ramsey making it and we could all
agree that it looks delicious. It's like a flash sausage roll.

(59:01):
So I think probably the people are thinking, well, that
looks delicious. Let's have a party where you eat beef Wellington.
And also, since having a beef Wellington party, let's dress
up as Aaron Patterson and Erin Patterson's minister and the

(59:21):
minister's wife and her ex husband's mother and father. It's
a bit like those murder mystery weekends that roll the
rage back in the eighties. You go to a pub
and you'd someone get murdered not wearing a poncho, not

(59:42):
wearing a fur hat, not wearing a scarf, not wearing
a hoodie, not wearing a onesie. So yes, very surprising
item of clothing. We even know if you'd call it clothing.
I will reveal it sometime tonight when I feel comfortable

(01:00:03):
saying it. Marcus, motorcycle riders were snooths. I wear run
all the time from cat Man do. I don't know
if that texas from cat Mandu or a snoods from
cat Man? Do I look up the cat Man do
website set you've got a snood? I also think that
get probably Oh I think I've worn on an antarctic Correctionally,

(01:00:25):
I have got a snood. I've got a suit at
home in my year. They've got a drawstring, but they
kind of get They're not that clean after a while,
after the've been around your mouth. It's like a neck gator.
But what do you want? You want to start the
police enforcing beef Wellington Parties twenty three away from ten

(01:00:52):
Dave Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:00:55):
Gooday Marcus Marcus. The beef welling him. It does look
nice delicious, and.

Speaker 11 (01:01:04):
Yes it does.

Speaker 16 (01:01:05):
But Christ question, why not just the mushroom or either
my steak or beef.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
I think someone we need to talk to someone that
makes them regularly, because it sounds like a lot of
I think the pastry must hold. I think they have
pastrami on them as well. Do they Gordon ramses one?
But I think that. I think that otherwise all the
mushroom what would fall off? And I think that keeps
it all in place.

Speaker 16 (01:01:35):
It's almost like a pie, like a what do you
call it? A you know one of those pie? It
like a crusted thing from the from the south of
England where they call them not a cottage private, yes,

(01:01:56):
but I like, as I say, why bother with a pastry?

Speaker 20 (01:02:00):
I don't know when you were.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
In New Zealand where you can get a beef Wellington?

Speaker 16 (01:02:05):
M I know, I know, and I'd meddle if I
bothered with it. I'd do the beef beautiful, I'd probably
do in the air fire, but i'd make the mushroom
or the pepper sauce separate and I put it on
top of it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
That wouldn't be a beef Wellington. They wouldn't.

Speaker 16 (01:02:22):
No, No, it wouldn't be. But that's what I'm trying
to say is I probably wouldn't bother with the pastry,
because I know pastry is no damn good for you anyway,
and these days when you can't get the butter or
the pastries, doesn't you know, I don't even know if
it's puff pastry or felo or short whatever it is crusty,

(01:02:43):
you know what I mean? A different pastry. I don't know, Marcus,
I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
I'll google it? What sort of pastry?

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

Speaker 16 (01:02:51):
And why bother with the pastry?

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
It might be good for your Christmas dinner.

Speaker 16 (01:02:57):
Though, No, no, I couldn't be bothered nose.

Speaker 3 (01:03:02):
The puff and you make marks and the puff pastry
so it always it all it looks like it's woven.

Speaker 16 (01:03:09):
Well, it comes back to the corners, cornish pesty, doesn't
it really? Kind of? I don't know.

Speaker 7 (01:03:15):
It is puff.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
It is puff pastry, right.

Speaker 16 (01:03:21):
Then? Yeah, the puff the pastry we because I used
to enjoy making the own sausage rolls with a couple
of penty of onion diced onion and sausage meat and
what have you. But Marcus, the puff pastry you buy
nowadays doesn't seem to puff the same. It's not. Maybe
it hasn't got the same butter.

Speaker 3 (01:03:38):
And I don't know about the butter, one of the butter.

Speaker 16 (01:03:41):
But anyhow, I thought i'd just put that out there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
No, it's good. Look, I've been thinking the same myself, Dave.
So I'm glad you've said that, Marcus. Are you wearing
a hearing aid? Good question.

Speaker 14 (01:03:51):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Are you wearing a pelt? No? Are you wearing an udi? No, Marcus.
Are you wearing an iglige?

Speaker 20 (01:03:58):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
A jerk and spilled with a j No. Are you
wearing a diaper? That's from Dave. Very good, Dave. No,
I'm not wearing a diaper. Are you wearing No, I've
heard of It's something I've never heard of. It's not
a MANKINI I've heard of all these things. Marcus. Snoods
are used in food places where men have beds, example

(01:04:19):
as the Kiwi fruit industry, but now they called the
Kiwi fruit industry. Marcus. A snood is something we put
on long haired dogs to keep the air feathering clean
when feeding have golden sets and cavaliers so have used
them for years. Karen at azarro' Kennel's Hygienet, it's Marcus. Welcome,

(01:04:45):
Oh hi Marcus.

Speaker 8 (01:04:47):
Back in the seventies and eighties, I would make the
beef billingtons like it's a regular thing, and inside back then,
I don't know what they do now because people are
saying it's like a sausage, but it isn't. It was
actually a big, beautiful piece of beef filet. And then

(01:05:07):
you would prepare that filet. It's how you liked your
meat cooked pretty much. And then on the inside, on
the outside of that filet, then it would be covered
with petai and then put inside the pastry and then
baked in the pastry. So obviously that Australian woman's using mushrooms,

(01:05:31):
which you can do, but back in the day, mine
was always petei and it was the most delicious, yeah,
beef dish.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
And when you serve it, the pastry stays on. Does
it do slices of it?

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Did?

Speaker 8 (01:05:48):
Exactly what you do. You just slice it and then
when it's sitting on your plate, it's got the piece
of beef on the inside with the pete and then
the nice piece of pastry on the outside. So it
was just a puff pastry back then when I used
to do it. So I'm not like I said, exposure.
You could use all sorts of pastries on it, but

(01:06:11):
that's what the original one I used to make.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
Was like, I wonder why you stopped.

Speaker 8 (01:06:20):
I no longer eat meat. Yeah, so I'm more vegetarian,
though I do eat a little wee bit of fish,
but that's it. I don't eat any sort of meat
at all now, but I don't mind giving up things
like that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
But I just was because it's quite meaty, and I
imagine the cut of meat wouldn't be cheap these days either.

Speaker 8 (01:06:43):
Oh, the meat was just I mean the filip that's
your best piece that runs down the side of the
stomach sort of of the cow, and it's just a
beautiful like your I fill it, and that would be
I fill it inside it. I used to cook mine
quite well, like had the meat all mostly cooked, because

(01:07:05):
once the pastries on it, then it doesn't heat enough inside. Basically,
so if you have it quite rare, like a lot
of people like it rare, then it doesn't really continue
to cook once to pastries on the outside of it,
because otherwise you end up burning your pastry.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
So I think I think Gordon Ramsey's one, which is
a famous one now, it has procuter or dry cued
ham which retains the moisture and it stops the pastry
from getting soggy. So that seems to be a way
it works because and the pastry looks beautifully crisp.

Speaker 8 (01:07:40):
Oh yeah, even with the way I used to do mine,
it was always a beautiful, flaky, crisp pastry.

Speaker 6 (01:07:47):
It was never soft.

Speaker 8 (01:07:50):
But if you I suppose, if you had your meat
quite rare, you could create its softness in the pastry,
which would sort of spoil it. So, yeah, that's what
Gordon Ramsey's done. Then you know over.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
There, I think I'll try. I think I'll try. I
think I'll try one.

Speaker 8 (01:08:06):
Be honest, it's not difficult.

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
Will you say that? You say that, but I could
imagine I forget, I get pet could get panicked in
the kitchen with all the different stages.

Speaker 8 (01:08:16):
Oh yeah, but you see, if you deal with your
meat first and then and don't and let the meat
call a bit because you don't want to try putting
your meat onto your past If you eat passe, I
suppose you can still get pete. It's been such a
long time for me.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
To be I think you can still get pet Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:08:39):
So that patse was so flavorsome, and you could put
some mushrooms in there or whatever that type of thing
or his ham or whatever. But really it sounds fiddly,
but it actually isn't. I used to have these great
recipe cards out of the seventies and they were the
most you know, you'd make a oh what do you

(01:09:03):
call those? You know you've cooked your ice cream in
the aven that type of thing and had your marine
on the outside of it, baked Alaska. I used to
cook that type of thing all the time, and it
wasn't difficult at all. It was actually quite fun, you know,
to do with those types of that type of cooking.
So there you go. You could have go to bake

(01:09:25):
at last a while you I.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Think I'll start with it. Hey, just by the way,
apparently on Australian Master Chef right and made a very
successfully made a vegetarian beef wellington using a bit using
a beet troot instead of the years.

Speaker 6 (01:09:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
So if you have to do a pretty big beat troot,
wouldn't it or a pretty small.

Speaker 8 (01:09:51):
Yeah, I mean you could. Yeah, you'd make it pets,
you'd just make it to size. But yeah, I mean
a lot of those vegetables that we didn't even realize
you could do so many interesting things with and I
just don't regret being a vegetarian or almost a vegan myself.
But yeah, because there's so many delicious things out today

(01:10:14):
that you can can actually eat. So yeah, you know
it's great. Ill. I hope you have to go out
there town beef Wellington.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
It won't be tomorrow, but I will give that an
attempt there. I feel quite confident about that. I mean,
it seems to be the dish on everyone's lips. You
can use pork tenderloid instead of beef. By the way,
what I forgot to say to you, Janet, is the
beef Wellington made out of beet trout. This is the kicker.

(01:10:45):
It's called beat Wellington. Of course it is put that
in the quiz what do you call a beef wedding
and made with a beet troup beat Wellington. He hasn't
got anything on the beef wining Wikipedia page about the woman,
but it sees also sea shoot a sandwich. List of

(01:11:06):
beef dishes twenty twenty three, Leon Gartha mushroom Murders twenty
nine July twenty twenty three. It's either two year anniversary
of that. Oh, this is realinteresting. This is probably the

(01:11:33):
text of the night. Beef Wellington is what comes up
every time Google mishears me if I ask to turn
on z B Wellington. Easy beef Wellington, zed B Wellington.
That's funny. Are you wearing a Yamaica? No, I'm not

(01:11:56):
wearing a yarmaica? Marcus. I was putting up snow fences
and cantered in the late eighties, twenty five miners in
the middle of the night. We use snooths to stop
frostbite on the lung. I thought it was a Canadian word.
Are you wearing gibbets?

Speaker 15 (01:12:09):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
Are you wearing flaars?

Speaker 20 (01:12:10):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Are you wearing a la booboo lotus fit? What is
la booboo? By the way, sh Are you wearing a
bowlo tie? And I will plenty of bowlo ties in
my day. There's a brief time in the eighties were
wearing bowlo ties and chick shirts every brief time. Not

(01:12:33):
a beef time. Good evening, Craig ats Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:12:39):
Yeah, gooday, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
What do you got?

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
My being's good. Actually, all things considered, it's very good.

Speaker 21 (01:12:47):
So have you had a beef Wellington?

Speaker 9 (01:12:50):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Well, I'm sure I have. When I've worked in I'm
sure I've worked in places catering places a long long
time ago, and I think we serve beef Wellington's, but
I can't I can't recall having one of the last
thirty years.

Speaker 21 (01:13:05):
Yeah, i'd go along there. I actually sort of like
to search my memory banks, and I had a beef
Wellington and Sydney. I believe when I was like in
my early twenties, it might have been like some of
like a London bar.

Speaker 20 (01:13:22):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it if you guys have
like a pub lunch type thing lunch.

Speaker 21 (01:13:28):
Yeah, and I do like it wasn't bad. It wasn't
a bad experience, I don't think. But it's made me
want to cook one now.

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
Yeah. Absolutely, I think everyone wants to cook one. I
think you probably could have a strain a chain of
food places. It just serves beef Wellington, particularly in Wellington.

Speaker 21 (01:13:45):
Yeah, I think we should get the family around.

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
But unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, every time you're brave enough to
cook a beef Wellington, you'd you would have to put
up with endless comage. Oh I see, I see yours
on a different plate. Craig, what are you not telling
I'm going to sure you get it all, wouldn't you.

Speaker 21 (01:14:09):
Well, I was actually thinking, okay, so, yes, there are
those of us enlightened about what a beast religion is
currently about. And I must admit it wasn't until last week,
like I kind of we've all watched the mushroom disasters unfold,
but it wasn't until last week that I actually realized
that that was the dish she tooked.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Oh really, you're quite so on the specifics.

Speaker 21 (01:14:33):
Well, yeah, I'd understood the whole mushroom thing, but it
was like, okay, you know, and then I saw the
dish and it was like, oh, actually, that's a yummy dish.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
And also too, could I say, if you are trying
to disguise mushrooms and magic mushrooms and a dish where
mushroom is not the key thing, it's the perfect thing
to do it with, isn't it.

Speaker 21 (01:14:53):
It definitely is. And I'd just like to point out
to all the mushroom people, I don't have an issue
with mushrooms liked on you. If you that way, they wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
They wouldn't magic that there death cap. Did I say
magic the death camp must Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:15:06):
Yeah, a little bit different Da Marcus. Yeah, I totally
agree with it, But maybe we have just opened up
entire taste bud for people, because there was lots of
things that were cooked in cases of years ago and
really delicious. So it wasn't just the big Willington.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
He's the paste, the pastry. It's a bit like having
a Yorkshire pudding with something that gives a bit of carbs,
does a bit of pastry sort of it. I don't
believe you don't such a bad rap. You don't see
it with pastry, do you?

Speaker 16 (01:15:41):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Sorry, you don't serve it with gravy.

Speaker 21 (01:15:45):
Well, apparently not, but I kind of think it would
do with bread.

Speaker 3 (01:15:48):
No, I don't know. I'm anti I've never liked gravy.
I've always been anti gravy.

Speaker 10 (01:15:53):
Ah.

Speaker 21 (01:15:54):
I kind of think that it looks like it could
do with the side of gravy. I wouldn't want no.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
I reckon, I reckon if you Yeah, I'm not happy
with you saying that, Craig.

Speaker 21 (01:16:04):
Ah, I was. I was kind of just opening it
up to it like a choice.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
I think, because I think what I like about it
is the fact that it's in cased and dry and
non gravy. They won't have him on again if he's
going to be talking about gravy. Marcus have just watched
the documentary on this on TV three. Very interesting and
very guilty, no kidding. I could someone tell me what

(01:16:28):
the lar booboo craze is? I'm not that into it.
So I was watching some junk last night about Hermi's
bags with La Boobo on them. That cost you about
twenty five pounds. I thought, well, that's a lot. I
don't know la Boo boo. I could google it up,

(01:16:49):
I suppose, but probably depressed me. Oh yeah, not really
into those, Oh not quite cute anyway. Head on midnight
we are talking about the floods and about snooths and
about beeef Wellington. How much would you call? How much
would you pay to make a beef Wellington?

Speaker 22 (01:17:09):
With the.

Speaker 3 (01:17:11):
Presuming you're buying the pastry? What would you cut of beef? Cost?
You sort of work out the whole finances of it.
I just guess just probably people can't afford to make
these days, or a fair thing around too, isn't it
People like sort of stir fries these days? Are they
easier food to cook? Anyway? My name is Marcus welcome.
Nice to hear from you. If that infect is what

(01:17:32):
I'm about to do, get in touch to be a
part of an eight hundred and eighty ten nine text, Marcus.
I made a beef Wellington recently. It was retime consuming,
but not difficult. I used a filet of beef presciuto
and refinely choped mushrooms which break down for fine paste.

(01:17:55):
I use Pentiton pastry, which is made with but a
very expensive dish. Chairs, Mary, are you wearing a heartreak monitor? No?
If anyone's just watched their documentary on Aaron Padder and
let us know what if you learn anything new? Eight
past ten high laureates, Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Yeah, Hi Marcus, Yeah I see. Gordon Ramsey had referred
to the beef Wellington as being an ideal last supper.

Speaker 15 (01:18:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
It's good point, isn't it? But why do you think
he says there because it's so because it's Yeah. I
don't know what the last supper meal is, but I
guess it's stated.

Speaker 7 (01:18:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:18:32):
Possibly.

Speaker 19 (01:18:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
I was going to touch on I don't normally tune
into you on Fridays, but I just turned on the
other night and you were just having that call. It's
strange call with that guy talking about well, we think
it was about the WYMI dam you know, yes, yes,
do you remember that?

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (01:18:51):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
Is it called the lead? Is it called the lee? Damn?

Speaker 6 (01:18:54):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Watching the laze? Really?

Speaker 3 (01:18:56):
Okay? Yeah, the wymy? Damn? You what is that built
for irrigational for horticulture? Same thing?

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Well sort of, yeah, it is for the water supply
for the horticulture. I guess you know better a back up. Yeah,
but it was strange in a way because he didn't
actually refer to it by name, but he was almost
alluding that he he had mistakenly tapped into a conversation
amongst engineers that were worried about something damned giving away

(01:19:26):
and causing him I think you handled pretty well well.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
I mean, like I said, that's the worry in free
high ones because it was a brand new damn and
I guess it's not tested.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
But anyway, yeah, yeah, but you know there's somebody one
of the I guess the people that monitor it that
did call up short shortly after that sort of yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:19:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
It was just strange in a way that he said
he'd made out that he'd mistaken me. He was up
from the coast and he was lostening on his radio
and these voices were of engineering people talking about something collapsing,
and but you know, there was quite fair bit of
a panic. And I think also at that stage, I

(01:20:12):
think you were talking about the people hold up in
the beached whale at Criteria. Yes, funny, as it turns out,
early April there was another a atmospheric river came through.
But just prior to that, Yeah, the what we call them,
the edge Guard rangers all assembled at the beach Whale

(01:20:32):
for several days. And it's very.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Good and I think probably to be at a bar
with a road swashed out, that's probably both people's fantasy,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Yeah, Yeah, pretty good venue and the motor camp. They've
got a motor camp right beside them. But that wasn't
the one that got There's another one just a bit
further along. I think it's called Bethany, that had a
whole lot of slash come through and more damage. Not no,
not no, well, yeah, not not too many vehicles. They're

(01:21:10):
a bit lucky in that respect. They lost quite a
few of their their kayaks and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
Did you see that? Did you see the news tonight?
On TV.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
I did, I did see some of it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
Yeah, yeah, did the pictures look pretty bad?

Speaker 10 (01:21:25):
All?

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
Yeah, Yeah, it's not just the ordinary slash. I mean
what it seems to be in the number of cases
there was the slash had come into the creeks, but
they had formed dams then obviously built up you know,
damn behind the slash, and then you know, like build
up a hell a lot of pressure and they all

(01:21:46):
let go of the burst burst through and they've come
out with high velocity, so it just kind.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Of holds it back and it comes through in a
more destructive way.

Speaker 12 (01:21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:56):
Yeah, you think that. I mean you remember that. That's
how they used to get the logs out there, you know,
when they're doing the carry much.

Speaker 3 (01:22:05):
It's a shame there's not much video footage of that
because it would be good to see the old damns going.

Speaker 16 (01:22:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:22:11):
But I think last week when they were talking about
cleaning up the and when this was earlier on and
the they were quite concerned what people were going to
do with this silk because they was there's a apparently
this thing called the asiatic notweed is sort of in
some of it, and they thought it would be a

(01:22:35):
situation where that could spread be spread very easily if moving. Yeah,
but hell, you know, it's probably a bit short of footage.
When you hear some of the guy talking about some
of the hop gardens that had gone over in the
or the WAITI riverside in the some the stuff down

(01:22:57):
the motorway itself, that's you're pretty dramatic almost, you know,
sort of Gabriel style carnage.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Do you know that is there not to Waka River?
It's not normally it's just a bit of a creek normally,
is it if I got that one right, No.

Speaker 2 (01:23:11):
It's quite big.

Speaker 3 (01:23:12):
It's that big.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Yeah. Well yeah, yeah, you know it's you'd have to
swim it normal, okay, yeah, okay, so it is.

Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
It is normally quite a lively river.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
Yeah yeah, but well I right, I mean middle of
summer you might get a pedal through it.

Speaker 19 (01:23:31):
But yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
As it starts way up in the what do you
call the Red Hills. Yeah, it's almost towards Nelson Lakes
National Park. But the other side of the people rafted
you could do yeah, yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:23:54):
Not that, Oh well.

Speaker 3 (01:24:03):
I might do that. I don't look at where it's
sourced us anyway, Laurie, thank you, nice to hear from
your fourteen past ten Get in touch if you want
to get in touch by name's Marcus, Marcus. How about
that new Witaker's caramel chocolates free good. I see our
Primatis has been found after be missing for a good
few days. What's his name again? Are you wearing a
TOAQ toqu we are talking about the challenges of making

(01:24:27):
a beef Wellington and the floods and anything else you
want to talk about tonight, I did say, and it
hasn't been received with anyone really responding. I have said
that I think we were better off before we had
a Rugby World Cup. We had better rugby year on year.
Rugby's gone backwards and the Rugby World Cup as most
of the blame that French test. I think Jeff Wilson

(01:24:50):
had every reason to be angry. Yeah, it's crazy the
team they sent down anyway, So you might want to
comment on that also tonight fifteen past ten. Next time
the French come and people won't tune up to watch it.
Apparently with the beef Wellington you don't use gravy user

(01:25:12):
red wine jew it's the old juis, of course it is.
But you say, if you want to be involved. Good.
The BBC is told Master Chief host Greg Wallace, don't

(01:25:33):
come Monday. He's the he's the grubby guy. He's the
grub and he said he couldn't we underwek because it
was autism, which has not gone down well with the
autism people because it's such a creep anyway, He's not
going to be on Mastership anymore, Curus Master Schiff seems curious,
doesn't it, Marcus. Legalized sports bidding has ruined rugby. Well,

(01:25:55):
the coverage is weird. Who's that loose killing that goes
around before the games? I think he rubs people up
the wrong way. It looks like it needs therapy, Marcus.
They could burn the slash and the power station hunting
instead of buying that expensive coalho eighteen past ten, Welcome

(01:26:17):
here on midnight. Oh flip, I've I've just had an email.
It's oh cheap as Someone sent me a picture of
a Lego beef Wellington with the Aaron Patterson. Lego said,
it's not that good. Actually, it's just her kind of

(01:26:38):
chopping mushrooms and two people lying on the ground dead.
There's something else I was thinking about. Oh yeah, here's
a question for you. Why do house painters wear white overalls?
Is that cause most painter is white? That we have
house painter out there that will know the answer to that, well,

(01:27:00):
I've got the talking stick. I just thought I would
answer that. I could google it, but can't. Can't be
can't be bothered. He's a daily mail headline for you.
Did depressed Air India pilot deliberately crashed plane, killing two
and sixty people because his mother had died. One of

(01:27:25):
the pilots had depression and mental health issues. Looks like
someone switched off the fuel. Good evening, Jess. It's Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:27:38):
Welcome Marcus, jessere mate, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:27:41):
Jess? Good Jess, Oh mate.

Speaker 23 (01:27:44):
I just got back from a run here in Perth
and I was getting ready for dinner and I heard
you talking about the All Blacks. I thought, holering, Marcus.
If he's talking in the All Blacks.

Speaker 15 (01:27:51):
Yeah, if you go, mate, not bad but terrible.

Speaker 23 (01:27:56):
Terrible French side. So I don't think we can get
too excited now.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
That's what I'm saying. That the World Cup's ruined it.
If the French is sitting that rubbish down the game,
it's not exciting. It's not interesting because it doesn't matter
to the players.

Speaker 23 (01:28:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, club they over there. I guess it's club, right,
the power of the dog cloud.

Speaker 3 (01:28:16):
On the and they're making big money in club, unlike
us who destroyed our club. They've got it right, But
get rid of the World Cup. Just have a club
comp well, just have tests that mean you know you've
got annual tests. We play everyone every year. But don't
have this right, don't have rubbish tests every three and
a half years, even in the World Cup year. They won't.

(01:28:37):
They want to keep their cards close to their chest
and will have rubbish teams sent down.

Speaker 23 (01:28:44):
I heardn't justin Marshall talking on the weekend that he
was stuck at the airport with the all backs and
he said, there's a staff of about sixty eight people.

Speaker 3 (01:28:53):
Oh goodness doing what Well, that's the whole team.

Speaker 23 (01:28:57):
So that's the whole squad. So what you've got thirty
five blokes right, and you've got everyone else, doctor's assistants,
video analysis media.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
So it's a big thing to keep on the road,
isn't it. Because people stopped turning up to watch matches
if they just send rubbish French too. And I don't
know how you could legislate it to make them send
good teams down, but that's offensive.

Speaker 11 (01:29:19):
Well he did it.

Speaker 23 (01:29:20):
The other thing I was going to ask you because
I know you quite like your league as well. But
I mean I felt Origin was a little bit of
a dud this year.

Speaker 3 (01:29:28):
Yeah, I'm going to watch it at work, so it's
hard for me because it's just I'm just watching it.
But I I thought the first match was excellent, the
second match was terrible weather and the third match it
seemed as though Nathan clearly it seemed like they were
just off something. I wonder if they couldn't get because
normally there's all that pre match, there's all that pre
match sledging and they get really worked up, but they

(01:29:49):
kind of put that on the back burner because of
Munster's dad dying. So I wonder if that, if that,
if it affected New South Wales they kind of it
was all a bit different for them. They thought they
had to go easy on them subconsciously.

Speaker 23 (01:30:02):
Yeah, good point, But what else have you? I mean, now,
what else can we chat about? I mean, I'm here
in Perth, mate, you're there and you're very awkne.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
What about that woman? Where did she go missing.

Speaker 23 (01:30:16):
Oh yeah, she was went missing for about twelve days
in the outback here in w As. There's so much
boysh somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:30:25):
Was she far from Perth?

Speaker 23 (01:30:28):
Well, her truck got her caravan got bogged as they
call it, all all in four wheel drives over here, right,
but you can really get bogged and it's quite the
nightmare of trying to get your truck out. So she
got bogged and then she's jumped out and tried to
go and find help and she's got lost.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
I think there's a bit of concussion too, so but
she didn't seem that far away. I'm not okay, Yeah,
she's I mean she's she's front up the media and
she's explained. I mean, she's a very convincing person. I
mean it did seem like a treasury. She's lucky to
be alive. But well she's one of you. What of
your wallyphone with you?

Speaker 16 (01:31:05):
Oh mate?

Speaker 23 (01:31:06):
She hopes that she might be able to make some money.
Now I've put it in a podcast for a book
or but liking.

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
That, thanks Jess, podcast or a book. There we go. Anyway,
get in touch Marcus till midnight? What have you got people?
Oh wait, maybe be good for Christmas dinner. The beef
Wellington narrow sicker a dry turkey. Yeah, and of course
too the French won the anthem. You're right, Murray, the
French anthem was excellent, always good. Of course it's best

(01:31:34):
Steel Day today. I don't quite know what we do
on radio for that. We don't wally talk about best
steel that I think because the French are here, could
someone let me know where they're staying in act that
they prefer to Hamilton, because I'll be there by now.
I don't know where that is. But the real sporting

(01:31:55):
uses the basketball this weekend, got a good mind to
go to that. That's the South and Sharks team that
lost the first five I think, and then they got
one night on the trot. Well it's a real example
of a team coming toether. It's fantastic to watch. So
they're going to the final, the finals next Sunday, I
think in Wellington gets the Wellington Saints Marcus beef Wellington

(01:32:16):
so can be kind of steak, but manly a three
er a gram I filip or a whole beef strip looin.
Then you make a paste in the food processes with
mushrooms and herbs and spices and a peck of flaky
pastry one hundred bucks depending on your cut of meat.

(01:32:37):
A whole beef fill it is seventy five dollars. It
feeds six though, wouldn't it. I'll tell you something about kids, right,
They make up their mind very quickly if they like
a food or not. Imagine I could make the kids befo.
When they say no they don't like it, I think, well,
actually I prayed to tell them the backstory that this

(01:32:58):
is the food that they used with it. Actually probably
could actually sell it to them that way. Maybe that
might be the answer. Oh, could be quite good. I
suppose these days are doing an ear fryar twenty five
away from living Marcus till twelve. I'm wearing something for

(01:33:18):
the unusual tonight. No one's come close to guessing what
it is, our Bred. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:33:26):
Oh good a Marcus, Hey, yank good thanks Bred?

Speaker 3 (01:33:28):
How are you going all right?

Speaker 16 (01:33:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:33:30):
Good, pleasure to talk to you, mate. I've just phone
up about beef Wellington Saga.

Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Yes here, we've.

Speaker 22 (01:33:39):
Got a great little butcher out here in Wyouku, which
is where I live, and they do it beef Wellington.

Speaker 3 (01:33:45):
Wow.

Speaker 22 (01:33:47):
Yeah, and it's got a really nice piece of surloins
taking it wrapped in pastry and you can go down
to the butcher and buy it and bake it yourself.
It's about twelve bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
How big is it?

Speaker 22 (01:34:02):
Oh, it's a pretty good feed. It's like as good
as is a nice stack in cheese by or something.

Speaker 3 (01:34:09):
Oh yeah, okay, I have a look at it. Okay,
that's an individual portion one it is.

Speaker 16 (01:34:15):
Yeah, they just wrapped them up.

Speaker 22 (01:34:17):
And it doesn't really have all of the mushroom hats
as we done, you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:34:25):
Not a killer, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
There'll be a lot of jokes about that for a
while going right there. Yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:34:34):
For sure.

Speaker 22 (01:34:35):
But it is really well done. And I'm a little
bit biased.

Speaker 16 (01:34:39):
I live in Wyuku, but.

Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
It's a good town growing. People grow Wyuku growing.

Speaker 22 (01:34:46):
Ye're not too fast, thankfully.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
So it's not full of Auckland commuters yet or people are.
It's been to take a long time to commute from there,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:34:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:34:56):
I think the southern motorway traffic issues and they don't
know how to motorways in New Zealand properly is helping
us stay a little bit less. What would you call
it suburban?

Speaker 3 (01:35:10):
How would you build motorways?

Speaker 22 (01:35:14):
Oh, you've got to have you can't have merging lanes
that go straight into the traffic. You've got to have
a lane that's dedicated to moving into the flow of
the motorway.

Speaker 3 (01:35:26):
You know, I haven't thought of that. So an extra lane,
which is just an extra lange, which is your emerging lane.

Speaker 16 (01:35:33):
Yeah, well, the more lanes the better.

Speaker 22 (01:35:35):
Maybe what you don't have enough?

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
You think it's priced a year. The more lanes you get,
maybe you go double story. Brad, thank you for that.
Twenty to eleven Marcus till twelve. Yeah, well that must
be about two hours an hour and a half drive.
I think. I don't know how long it would be,
depends on when you get it. He's probably right there
about the merging text. If you wanted people, I'm here

(01:36:02):
till twelve. The motorway Auckland Motorway. Not a celt not
a moccason, not a heated blanket, not ugg boots, not
a celt It's something I've never heard of before today.
Are they those loose pants that look comfortable, appeared to

(01:36:23):
have a loose snappy around No, a sarrong, No a kummabund,
no an ankle bracelet, no the rooty hill rollx, no
leg warmers, no Carliss Marcus, just a different note to
When thinking of todating to a charity, please think of

(01:36:44):
the smaller ones that don't get as much exposure as
the larger ones. It's easy for larger charities to get
people back in them because they are well known and
funding accepted. Farries in the small ones. Some make a
huge impact, but just to have the stability the larger
ones do, but make the same impact. Spats. No a
lava lava. No mystery clothing item for tonight. I don't

(01:37:12):
necessarily know that anyone will get it, but we shall persevere.
What people are saying, I might be wearing a heated blanket,
moccasins are kilt on, a peter heater reversible belt toa
socks crock, gumboots, a spurrin go on the dark toenail polish?
Is it one of those belts that don't have a buckle,

(01:37:33):
just a rough texture for the belt to grip? What
will they be called a k of the sound of
that big fan of a belte? Really would I go
out without a belt on In some ways it might
be the most important item of clothing. Lululemon fleece pants.
No long Levi shorts, Lululemon fleece pants. Wow, so they've

(01:38:04):
got a big shop in Queen's down now in the
main street there. Anyway, Oh, fifteen to eleven people if
you want to talk. And I have said the statement
earlier on. I don't know if anyone agrees with me.
I think we're better off with our rugby. We had
better rugby before the Rugby World Cup, and I think
there was highlighted by that shocking test on Saturday with

(01:38:27):
that rubbish team The French have said because why, I
don't know, because they're selfish and just want to win
the Of course the French have never won the World Cup.
But anyway, do you want to mention that? Also the

(01:38:48):
cleanup in Nelson, if anyone's involved in the cleanup or
involved in Nelson and what people are needing, because yeah,
that sounds like it's pretty messy there, although I haven't
heard anyone for anyone complaining from there. Its macarena corone
cheese day. How many times a year do you have

(01:39:10):
macaroni cheese? I don't think i'd have it once a year.
It feels about right, doesn't It always delicious? But yeah,
you wouldn't want to go to it too often. That's opinion. People,
by the way, everything I say his opinion. Get in touch.
Welcome Nevill You been hanging there for a wallet's Marcus.
Good evening, Yeah.

Speaker 20 (01:39:28):
Good evening, Marcus. Yeah, listen, I've just been listening to
you like I always do.

Speaker 16 (01:39:34):
That.

Speaker 20 (01:39:35):
You're bought up about Taol and Dean. Yeah, yep, yeah,
you're talking about Tall and Dean on the radio just before. Yeah,
you was that other thing when they come out here
in New Zealand. Yeah, they they they're sitting out some

(01:39:56):
scouts this not not not in body, but over the
telephones and one thing another to check where they could
stay and all the rest of it before they leave
their own country, you know. But they got hold of me.
I was president of the New Zealand Seafarers Center in Littleton,

(01:40:23):
and they got hold of me there and asked me
if I could do with the homework for them. And
then I got back to them and said I couldn't.
I could book them in here there in different other places.
So they said, well, it's no good then choose them.
So they let me choose where they should stay. And
so they arrived by plane landed in christ Church and

(01:40:48):
the first place I had them booked into was the
the ice skating rink in christ Church, and there was
a pretty good runk at the time. There was crowds
of people used to go there ice skating and schools.
Schools used to go there quite often every week. It

(01:41:10):
was troubled got and that was just before the Cashmire Hills.
The ice skating rink a lot of people if there
were my agent over, they will remember it's around from
Christ's Way. Yeah, but it was quite good. And then
I took them the next day. I took them out

(01:41:31):
to h to through Akera to what do you call it?
Add on the peninsula. What's the first one out on
the peninsula.

Speaker 3 (01:41:48):
Furthest What.

Speaker 20 (01:41:50):
If the first township they add on the peninsula, isn't it? Yeah, Yeah,
that's the way I was looking for here. Yeah. We
took them out there for lunch. They had lunch out there,
and then we come back and yes, then a couple
of days then and then when they left they were
going up across on the Theory to uh little Wellington,

(01:42:16):
so I went up there and crossed over with on
the theory with him, and and and then he had
the guy at the other end meeting us, and he
showed them all around Wellington and I went with that,
and then two days later I come back to christ
You see, it's a good a good yes.

Speaker 3 (01:42:37):
Why would they have contacted the Sea Theories Association.

Speaker 20 (01:42:42):
I don't know. I don't know. They might have tried.
I think they did try other places, but they got
they got no nobody seemed to be able to do
it or want to know about it. They said they
contacted the Little Tim Workingmen's Club. That the Little Tim
Workingmen's Club.

Speaker 3 (01:43:03):
What year were talking.

Speaker 20 (01:43:06):
Nineteen seventy because I was thirty years old. I remember
that at the time. I was born in nineteen forty
five and this was in nineteen seventy. Pretty sure it
was nineteen seventy. You know, we're out here. Yeah, that's
all they can tell you about them. But yeah, they

(01:43:29):
had they had about there was about fifteen of them
all together. I think there wasn't just the two ice skaters.

Speaker 16 (01:43:36):
You know.

Speaker 20 (01:43:37):
They had it to the Giar cut down and.

Speaker 3 (01:43:40):
They would have been thirteen and nineteen seventy, they would
have been what thirteen years old?

Speaker 20 (01:43:48):
Oh, I know they're older than that. I thinking, Yeah,
they were about thirty thirty five thirty years old.

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
What year did you stop working at the Seafearism?

Speaker 16 (01:44:02):
Oh?

Speaker 20 (01:44:04):
Well, I wasn't really working there. I was working there,
but the sea Fury said down. It was just to
say that with the where all the people that come
to show off the boats and could go there and
play paul and darts and all the rest of that,
and and then they could go back to the boats

(01:44:26):
and dinner.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
And were you just hanging out there?

Speaker 9 (01:44:31):
Now?

Speaker 20 (01:44:31):
I was in Littleton and that's here they got hold
of me. They wrung the Littleton working Men's Club to
see if somebody they could hand.

Speaker 3 (01:44:44):
Could do you work at the working Men's Club?

Speaker 20 (01:44:48):
I was president of it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:44:53):
And why wouldn't they fly up to Wellington? Why did
they go by Fury?

Speaker 20 (01:44:57):
They wanted to go by Theory. It was their choice,
and because they had so much time to think at year.
And it's like when I took them over to Little
River yep, I know to and I hired a bus

(01:45:21):
to take them over there, and I drive the bus
over there and with them and their moder age and
all the people that was with them there was there
and a few other hangars on. I think I had
twenty eight on the bus and I had any bus
license when I was eighteen years of age. Sure that

(01:45:46):
was because I did my apprenticeship as a moment mechanic
in Timaru with the New Zealand Railway Road services, you see,
and you had to be eighteen to be able to
get your license for an omnibus, and you had to
be twenty one to get your license as a passenger

(01:46:09):
in a passenger service vehicle. Okay, that's yeah. And the
only difference between the two buzzers.

Speaker 3 (01:46:18):
You got any Have you got any photos of you
and Touveland Dean?

Speaker 20 (01:46:22):
No, no, no, we never had cameras that then. You
couldn't afford cameras. Aren't it that I never got any
potos anywhere?

Speaker 16 (01:46:30):
I know.

Speaker 20 (01:46:30):
That's the sure bure have that I need even thought
about it. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:46:34):
I think where the ice skating rink is now near
the Cashber Hills. I think it's called Torvill Lane. I
think it's named after them.

Speaker 20 (01:46:41):
Oh it could be too, I don't know. If you
don't know what the name of it, I think it'll
be right.

Speaker 3 (01:46:46):
Yeah, Okay, they're nice to talk to anyway. Fifteen past eleven,
we're ad of twelve oh, eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty Marcus. There are only eight teams with enough money
or talent win the Rugby World Cup. The Cup when
it does not have to beat the other seven and
round robin, the top four teams will have b sides
good enough to make it through pool play. Thus it's
a closed shop with very thin seat of reasoning as

(01:47:07):
to why the situation is allowed to exist. Meantime, the
grassroot clubs are feeling less and less teams on the
seasons in between what a sad bunch of ego driven
nations think they are doing a good job sadly, John, Yes, well,
the game's not growing at all, apart from maybe in
the Netherlands. But yeah, I just can't believe people put

(01:47:28):
up with it, that they put up with that rubbish
on Saturday night games, that it doesn't matter who wins,
it's meaningless. I was furious, and Jeff Wilson seemed furious
as well, and the commentators had a bad day. Didn't
know who the players were a lot of the time.
Some of the time. But yeah, I think we're better

(01:47:50):
off before the rugby World couple. I feel that this
is and maybe with the French are doing that deliberately.
Maybe they want the end of it all, but three
and a half years just to pretending and foxing, just
to win one silly tornament Goodness. Marcus beef Wellington's origin

(01:48:11):
is believed to have been by named after Arthur Wellesley,
the first Duke of Wellington, in honor of his victory
at the Battle of Waterloo. Also agree that you banana
chocolate is way too sweet. Marcus of that band man
was born in nineteen forty five. It would have been
twenty five and nineteen seventy. They won Olympic gold in
nineteen ninety four. I guess you got to take people

(01:48:33):
at their stories. But yeah, I don't know what that story.
I just can't work out why they'd win. They bring
the seafarers greetings to you. I told you i'd tell
you what I was wearing before the end of the show.
I am wearing toe spreaders. Yeah, I got given them

(01:48:53):
toe spreaders. They are things that go between your toes
and spread them out. They apparently they're apparently supposed to

(01:49:16):
take your feet back to what it was like when
we spent more time barefoot, when our feet weren't toes
weren't clamped together. It's supposed to be very good for
foot posture and foot conditioning. Now I've never ever thought

(01:49:41):
I just got given them. I've never ever had problems
with my feet or thought that was something I need.
So I've put them on toes spreaders and you can
have them on there, you can put socks on, and
then you can wear them in shoes and it's not
an unpleasant feeling. I have no idea how much they cost,

(01:50:02):
because they were gift and they feel like the same
of rubber you'd get on a I don't know what
sort of you describe. It's free. It's evocative of something
the rubber, but yeah, and you just put your toes
in them. And I don't know how long I'll wear

(01:50:23):
them for. I've worn them since I got them, which
was about five o'clock to night, so I've had them
on for five hours, seven hours, and they feel quite comfortable.
I think it's how some people kind of have those
shoes that like working and walking in bear feet. It's
a bit like those. I don't know if I'll wear
them tonight in bed. I don't know if I'm really

(01:50:44):
a toe spreader type person, but yeah, there we go.
Because for someone who doesn't normally wear jendles because I
don't like that song. But between the toes, I think
it's surprising I've embraced them so much, But there we go,
And funny enough, I think you probably could get them
from Timu. I think everyone would sell toe spreaders, and
they're probably always a bit of a much of a muchness.

(01:51:05):
So if you've got problems with your I'm not recommending them,
because that's not the way I roll. I'm not one
of those people that. But they are a thing, and
they're called it toe spreaders, and what they have done
has spread my toes. I've seen your shot, but I
don't really like the way they look because oh yep, yep,

(01:51:36):
So there we go. Toe spreaders usually get some nevill
It kind of makes you want to kind of clench
your toes because they've got that bitten between them. Oh,
I'm sure the logic's quite clever with it. Yeah, yes,

(01:51:56):
between every toe it's like a rubber knuckle duster for
your toes. But I'm trying to think of what the
rubber remind or the stick rubber reminds me of something
that i've It's not like a mouthguard, it's something rubber
than that. It's almost like it's like one of those

(01:52:17):
rubber wristbands you use. But yes, it's around every toe,
the most unusual feeling. But you fancy the internet. Everything
that you can now get, you can get a toe
spreader interesting enough that I'm not getting ey calls from
people that have experienced a toe spreader, so I might
be unique in that. Don't there be many broadcasters have

(01:52:39):
been doing this show with tows. I could think of
one or two that probably would toe spreader. I don't
even imagine that costs much. They feel like they're like
just something that you'd get transported quite cheaply. Oh yeah,
there're two dollars thirty seven on demu and probably the

(01:53:05):
more expensive ones that toe separates up to twenty twenty
five dollars. Get them from the yoga shop. YEP. A
toe spreader anyway, but I'm not recommending them. I just
am using them. I don't know what they'll do to

(01:53:25):
your feet ultimately, but I'll report back. Kirsty. This is
Marcus Nice to hear from you. Good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:53:32):
I heard you mentioning the Mushroom Murders documentary. Yes, I
was just stumbling on channel surfing tonight and I saw
it and I thought, okay, I watch this, and then
I actually sort of doubled up all it because Hervey
coming later and he likes those kinds of things, so
I just put it onto plus one so he didn't
miss any of it. Yes, And it was predominantly it

(01:53:53):
was media based, like it was. It was quite a
good like. It was discussion all the way through, and
it was typical of those, you know, the programs you
see on the other TV, the American programs like the
Snacks and all that kind of stuff kind of documentaries.
And I think it was pretty well done, but clearly
they had done the whole thing pretty much waiting for

(01:54:13):
the verdict.

Speaker 3 (01:54:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:54:15):
And it was so it was sort of interviewing. Apart
from one woman who I think was an FBI profiler
or something similar. It was it was the two main
people sort of talking were media outlet people, okay, and
you know like current Affair. You know, one of them
I think was the Current Affair. The other one was
like a I think it might have been actually a

(01:54:36):
newspaper outlet, maybe the woman. And it was very interesting.
I didn't find it boring at all. I thought I
could have found a bit boring.

Speaker 3 (01:54:44):
But Christy, I'm gonna ask you some questions. I know
how you like to talk. But did the FBI woman
say about the if females are more often poised? Is
there any insight like that?

Speaker 24 (01:54:57):
Well, I don't think so. What I got from her
mainly was they tended to go down the lines of
the type of person. I do remember. What I did
get out of it was they talked about out how
she was, how she was married to the guy who
was a very high profile churchy, you know, like ye
big in the town, and that when she when they

(01:55:17):
split up or something, she became quite aloner, like she
was no longer part of the community. And I think
she sort of was kind of isolated. And I think
it must have got worse from there, to be said
of it. She had to. I think she had to
have been damaged from day one kind of thing, because
it was very well.

Speaker 3 (01:55:34):
She always tells heartright, she always tells heartbreaking things. Our
mother was always weighing her, which is never good y.

Speaker 24 (01:55:41):
Yeah, and it was very It was actually I think
if someone hasn't watched it, it's probably because it wasn't boring.
I thought it could have been a little bit over
the top, and so I think it's worth going back
at trying to find it on demand because it was.

Speaker 3 (01:55:53):
I I just thought, I just thought the better documentaries
will be the ones made further down the track. This
one seemed to be trying to cashing in on the verdict.

Speaker 24 (01:56:01):
I thought, I think you are right, But I think
what they have done is they have literally honed in
on the investigation side of it as opposed to the verdict.
And that's why I think This Other Lady was quite
interesting because they were talking about the psychological side of it.
But one of the things that found very interesting was
they did interview a guy because they said to get

(01:56:22):
an idea of this whole situation. They identified a man
who had accidentally poisoned himself. Oh that's interesting, and he
had survived, and they spent quite a bit of time
talking to this man. Well, he told his story about
how it was a slow it would have been a
slow death, and they talked about aspects such as the
lady I was saying about before. I think she was

(01:56:44):
the profiler. She said, the problem. Half the problem with
murders is disposing of bodies. And she said in terms
of this particular murder, because they go home and they
die later, days later, and therefore you don't have to
worry about disposing of bodies. So it was actually quite
an interesting watch. I think some people will, you know what,

(01:57:06):
won't really like at the might find of it. But
I quite like them honing in on the sort of
the psychological aspect of the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:57:13):
Am I look into that, Christy. I appreciate your call.
Thank you, Thank you very much. Twenty five to twelve.
Good even, Jesse. It's Marcus welcome. Hi Jesse. Jesse, it's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:57:31):
Hi.

Speaker 8 (01:57:31):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:57:32):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (01:57:33):
I was just thriging about your toe screeters. I think
they might be what you use when you're painting your toenails.

Speaker 3 (01:57:41):
Think looking at it, that's a slightly I've looked on like,
that's a slightly different thing. I think that what are
they called?

Speaker 8 (01:57:48):
Yeah, well, even if they have a name, got wing
yougether in the nail song and they have a penicure, Yeah,
it's like.

Speaker 3 (01:57:57):
A it's more like a hard foam thing, is it.

Speaker 8 (01:58:01):
Well, spongies, Yeah, it's not hard.

Speaker 3 (01:58:07):
But it's yeah, I know, But is it like that
that sort of foam that for noodles that you go
swimming are made out of. Yes, okay, I think these
ones are. But these ones are specifically to spread your
toes to replicate what it's like when you are barefoot. Okay,
and apparently yogurt people wear them and you wear them

(01:58:29):
within your shoes and their life changing apparently, right. Yeah,
so I'm not a convert. There you go.

Speaker 8 (01:58:40):
If your toes are spread wide, you're not going to
fit into your shoes.

Speaker 3 (01:58:45):
Well that's probably a yeah. Well, part of the reason
probably that your toes are or cramped is because you've
had the shoes wrong and they've cramped you too much.
And you might need to spreaders because of course we
always used to work. And I think the same people
in toe spreaders are into shoes without arches or anything
like that, because I think the natural status be walking barefoot.

Speaker 7 (01:59:09):
True, which, yeah, you don't to.

Speaker 3 (01:59:12):
Get too obsessed about your feet, but yeah, that's I'm
just I'm only wearing them because I was given them.

Speaker 24 (01:59:19):
That's fine, and there'll be.

Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
A good gift. They're very easy to post. They're real light.

Speaker 8 (01:59:24):
Well, that's true. Could be everybody's Christmas this year.

Speaker 3 (01:59:28):
You're not You're not right. I even think we might
get some to yeah, with some personalized one. But thank
you for your call. G see twenty four away from
eleven from twelve rather hit to midnight. My name is
Marcus Good Evening, Marcus. Any thoughts on the Epstein list
or do you not want to dive into that? I
find interesting in American public strangely fascinating. Well, it's funny
because there was never any list, and all those right

(01:59:52):
wing podcast has always went on and on about the
Epstein list. It was this list of liberal rich people
that were involved in flying back and forward from there.
Of course, he's not going to have a list, but
Trump Trump went on and on about will reveal the list.
That's the first thing we'll do. We will show you
who all these people are. And that's one of the

(02:00:12):
reason he got voted in. But the trouble is when
you get voted and you've got to be true to
your word, and he's had to start to say that
there is no list. So now as head of the FBI,
that guy Cash and the other guy. I mean, they're
going to probably leave on the back of it. Tucker Carlson, everyone,
they're all furious about this, but it's all very well
to milk your base by saying, oh, we're going to

(02:00:33):
do this and do that, and there's a great list
of all these people and all the names are on it.
You'd imagine the sort of names that they are throwing
around the Hollywood elite, Democrat, Democrat politicians, everyone, And there's
no list. So you think of all the things Trump

(02:00:53):
said he would do and all his promises, they all
turn out to be not true. There is no list.
So and even that woman that she said the list
is on my desk, now she said there's no list.
So it's not good for them. I don't know what
will happen. I don't know. I mean, I think the
thing about Trump is he's good to changing the agenda.
Already he's talking about Benning Rosy, o'donnald from living in

(02:01:20):
the country. So he just kept changing and changed the
level of outrage. But yeah, I think a lot of
those right wing bloggers and the whole campaign was about
we're going to release the Epstein list. I don't know
what there is as far as the flight records, but
there seems to be no list. Marcus. Wearing thongs with

(02:01:43):
six socks facing my big toe instead of shoes or
slippers has made a big difference to my winter and
I haven't needed any heating. Marcus, do you know anything
more about the plane question? In Essex, UK? About four
pm Sunday? It was mentioned on Breaking News down I
haven't anymore since it was a twelve meter long plane.

(02:02:03):
I will look for you. It's a kind question. I
mean it's kind the way you ask. So Sunday would
be today our time. South End Airport plane crash latest
airport shut and flights canceled as aircraft cashes crashes moments
after takeoff. The small crane crashed after takeoff at South
End Airport, a twelve meter plane. That's all the information

(02:02:30):
I've got, Fireball. No confirmation of the number of casualties.
There was a Beachcraft king AIRB two hundred cost up
to one point five million dollars. Oh, by the way,

(02:02:50):
the other thing I need to say probably the children
have just come back. There've been away and they had
did go to a Warrior's Matches day, but also too
with my father and with Vanessa. They went to Motet. Well,
I've been critical about Motet for as long as I've

(02:03:11):
been on here. They said it was very, very good,
So there you go. Motet be fifty five years since
I've been there, so they say it's a very slick
operation these days, so there you go. Who would have thought.
They went to the plane hangar. They said that was
very impressive. They went on the tram at a brilliant time,

(02:03:34):
So there you go. Anyway, Marcus, I can't call as
my husband, husband and dog are sleeping. But we went
to an ice hockey game last night in Botany, Botany
Swarm visus the sky City Stampede. We assumed it was
another Auckland side and decided we would cheer on sky City. Anyway.
We had a great fun, with soodles of fun. Gosh,

(02:03:55):
it can get quite full on. Then we found out
this morning the sky City Stampede was from Queenstown. Definitely
go again, chez NaIO. I've never seen an ice hockey
game line that's good today. I find it hard to
watch on the TV. I don't know why they don't
illuminate the pack long time until we get a long
weekend NY October or is it November? But yes, if

(02:04:24):
you want to talk on get in touch you're Richard.
It's Marcus.

Speaker 14 (02:04:28):
Welcome, Hi, Marcus. I just wanted to ring about that
guy Richard.

Speaker 3 (02:04:33):
Yeah, hello, welcome here, Yes, loud and clear.

Speaker 14 (02:04:38):
Yeah, the guy who recalled ice skaters that he tooked
around in Akara and it wasn't tall. I think he
was confused. It wasn't taller than Dean. I was in
christ in the nineteen seventies and J. C. William brought
out this whole team. They were called ice Variety Showers.

Speaker 3 (02:05:01):
So that makes that that does make sense. Yeah, it
sounds like a more sel these type terror if they're
going on a bust ekura and stuff.

Speaker 14 (02:05:10):
Yes, there was seventy five came.

Speaker 3 (02:05:15):
And they could well have won the run the working Okay?
Was it Nutcrackers on ice?

Speaker 10 (02:05:23):
I can't.

Speaker 15 (02:05:23):
I was called the year zeal Ice.

Speaker 14 (02:05:25):
I know it's just called ice variety Show or something,
not ice capades.

Speaker 3 (02:05:29):
Were you involved in that area of No, you just
got good memory.

Speaker 14 (02:05:32):
I was just living in at the time and I
was aware that they were there, and you know, I
was a girlfriend at the time, and they were going
to go and visit the go and see them.

Speaker 11 (02:05:42):
We didn't.

Speaker 3 (02:05:43):
I might do some more research, Richard, but thank you
for course. I'm run out of time, guys. So that's
it from me. Thanks Richard. That's good information because he
seemed as I remembered it right. But yeah, it was
just a bit early. Anyway. Hey, I'll return. I'm gonna
go home and take off my toast squitters and I'll
catch you. I might even sleep in them. I'll catch
again tomorrow night. Enjoy your Tuesday good night.
