Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be you said in greetings and welcome, welcome to
first hour. Keep you up there able to rugby? When
those scores happened to the number is eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nineteen ninety two to text, how
are you hope? You're good? You wonder what Hussein bolted
with all his money that he's advertising person dishwashing liquid.
I couldn't work that one out. He must have made
tens of millions. Wouldn't be the fastest man ever in

(00:32):
the world. Can't work that one out anyway. There he
was in the supermarket and a large cutout cheap? Is
that the same bolt flip? No copy effing. That's not
a talkback top of that's just be on their side.
And by the way, too, congratulations you've finished dry July.
You only got three hours fifty two to go to that.
I don't know what that is. It's dry July. I

(00:52):
think it's a bit like my Vember. You don't drink.
If that's you, well done. If you found it easy, good,
If you found it hard, don't stop trying anyway. Also too,
this is the last month for Smeg and You World
and that Disney tat at countdown. I don't know how,
because I think it's about this time you want to

(01:12):
start cashing in your vouchers otherwise you'll get Zibiti du dah,
So that might be something you want to mention. Also Tonight,
Fast and Furious. It's Thursday. It's not a free for
all Friday, but it's just one day to one day
removed from free for all Friday. Those damn alerts, I think,

(01:38):
through no fold of their own, apart from incompetence civil defense,
have gravely damaged their ability to alert the population of
New Zealand of something significant is about to happen in
a trusting and caring way. Too many damn bb But

(02:03):
what would you describe that noise? There's too many of
it for goodness sake? I think probably after the floods
and all they were, people were criticized for not giving
enough warnings. Now we've become warning happy. But some people
get them fifty times and some people don't get them
at all. And it's weird. There's people in the same house.

(02:25):
One person gets at four people don't. I did hit
the guy talking on the wireless. What apparently happens right
is you only get them if you're near the sea.
But what a shocker hasn't worked at all? And to
see when out at six thirty, couldn't have they sent
that at ten oclock to see what at six thirty

(02:47):
for the wake up call? I thought was cruel, particularly
when it seemed to be something that wasn't really earth
chatteringly dangerous. And I'm some of that's all in favor
of the system. I think it's great for earthquakes and
un armies and stuff like that, but yeah, they've wrecked it.
They've wrecked it by not getting it working proper and
not even using it at the right times. I'm quite

(03:08):
cross on this. I don't think it's their fault, but
I think because it wasn't tested properly and because it
just doesn't work, I think probably people will go into
their phone and turn off of the system, and next
time it happens. I don't know what the next one
will be, Probably an earthquake. With the New Zealand, people
are going to be less adherent to what the warnings are.

(03:35):
I don't know what your thoughts. I know probably people
have been banging on about it all day, but I
feel it's my time to talk about this. I'm not
happy at all about it. I just think they wrecked it.
How hard could it be and probably right if they
didn't have the kitten kerboodle work properly yesterday when it
came out at four thirteen, they should have set into
the whole country, not trying to work out which shell

(03:58):
towers set and not seeing to the people in land,
because it seems to be the people in land got
it anyway, and it seems to me if that's the
way you can do it and everyone gets to stick
with that, that's the way it worked when we had
that the drill in May, So that's the way you
should have gone through. Everyone gets it because the situation
was people are just furious about it. One I got

(04:18):
it forty eight times. A lot of people didn't get
it all the right at the seafront, the waterfront.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
So I've always thought Civil Defense were a group that
always seemed to probably not do enough, and never it
was never quite sure what they do. And after this
today I think probably Civil Defense are a group that's
probably gone the other way and done too much, but
not at the right time. You have any thoughts on this,
I don't know if you've listened to this all day,

(04:46):
be good to hear from you. By the way, there
was no Mega tsunami. I know that's not their fault,
but once it wasn't doing much damage in Hawaii in Japan,
you probably could have realized. I didn't need the six
thirty am warning. I know what they've said. It's gone
across to it's gone across to Chile or South American
inflicted off there, but it's not going to be reflected

(05:08):
and get bigger, is it. It's not going to suddenly
get a whole lot more energy and get bigger. So
once I thought Hawaii didn't get it, in Japan didn't
get it. You don't want the six thirty wake up cool.
I didn't actually get that, so that was surprising as well.
But yeah, if you want to comment on that, I
know people have talked about that today, but I think
it's an important topic. I just think they've done themselves damage.

(05:29):
Too many alerts, too many alerts too often, and a
system that doesn't really work anyway. Marcus, I'm not sure
why you are so angry. I wouldn't say I'm angry,
and I say I'm angry, and I think I'm angry.
This perces I was grateful for the six thirty wake cup.

(05:50):
I live around two and are minutes from the beach
and often go down for a run or swim in
the beach. You've got to think of those people to
get up with their dogs and go for runs along
the beach, and well, they were the ones that had
already they'd got the alert the day before. Surely if
they hadn't got it the day before, they'd got it.
When they're driven into the south phone tower area, overwhelming

(06:12):
and competence, I'm already furious oving drop for the electoral role.
Another reason for sending alert to everyone is you may
not live on the coast, but you may have a boat.
More that you may want to do something you should
have gone to everyone. Everyone gets the text and then
that seems to be probably the budget software they've got.
It's easy to send it to everyone because that worked

(06:33):
with the may practice. But what happened yesterday and today
was a cluster. If I am angry, if I'm coming
across angry, the only reason I'm angry is because what
they will do is they will jeopardize, jeopardize the effectiveness
of a very powerful tool and civil defense. But it's
got to be used correctly and sparingly. But what about

(07:00):
that title person saying, I mean because they go to
the beach, Brian Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Well, I got working this morning, was that horrible noise
and looking as us what the hell? And I started
immediately thinking, you know, I need to ring my mates
out there in the buddy boat to make sure they
don't get drowned. And then I looked at it and
read it and I thought, well, looks there's something it's
it's the same thing. And I walked outside and had
looking and I totally agree. I mean, I mean, I

(07:30):
don't mind waking up earlier, but that to me was
just crazy.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I didn't get that, but I reckon, if you get
woken up like that, that would take a day to
recover from a noise like that. You'd feel kind of
on eage all day, wouldn't you.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
Well, it was just a bit weird.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
And I saw one of my mates the day on
the boat out there and he said to me, started
his motor up about two hours before the alert and
had the boat pointed in the right direction and everything.
And he sat there and sat there and sat there,
and then and then went to bed, and you know,
finally gave up, went to bed, and then he got
woken up by the buddy alarm as well.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Your bodies aren't stupid. They know what to do.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Of course they do.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
That's right, and what we all do. I mean to
some extent, but I think we're overplaying at Marcus.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
To be honest.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
You know, the weather, the weather is the weather. We
know when there's a big storm coming. Just just alert
saying there's a big storm coming is fine for a storm,
a tsunami coming.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
We've got boys, there's boys at the ocean. They would
have known if a boy suddenly had three meters of movement,
they would have known. A hang about this is that
we'll get we'll go, we'll go telt. We'll send one
out to everyone that you've got to get to the
high end.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
Exactly the tsunami coming, you know, not just bollocks, because
I tend to agree exactly what you said before about people.
It's like pry wolf. You know, you cry wolf enough
times and people just think, well, bug of this. You know,
it's just ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I'm not going to take notice of it and look,
and I feel there's a political aspect and a and
a face covering exercise to save embarrassment. You know, a
government doesn't want to look at active like like old
Brown and the mirror of Walkland looked looked asleep at
the wheel. When those floods hit in Auckland and there
was there's no warnings.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
That's right, And this is.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
What it's not about that there is an emergency. It's
about so people don't get blowback or embarrassment or they
don't get asked why they're not doing their job. That's
what it's all about. It's an ask coverage.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
You're right, it'slital a lot of a lot of it's clerical. Look,
we've had we've had storms and and all sorts of
forms in my life while I've been love and mostly
living around Auckland area north of Auckland and storms, the storms, flood,
the flood and you know, you're sort of it's not new,

(09:48):
and don't I don't know. I don't know why we
get bombarded with the stuff because a lot of people
actually go quite quite worried about it. And I see people
walking the street I'm building myself, so I'm wandering around
outside most of the time. But I see people in
the streets think to me, oh my god, there's you know,
such a just coming. I said, no, no, it's not too bad.
It wouldn't I you know, like paranoid about the bloody

(10:09):
weather because of all the stuff that they get bombarded
with about the dangers of this and everything else in
a tsunami is a coming. It's just my head and
how people have people Well, obviously there's a big change
in the weather, no doubt about that. Severe storms are
there and now that man love, I don't see that

(10:29):
it needs to be freaking out what we do sometimes
to be.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Honest, Yeah, I just thought it was yeah, and the
minister needs to come through and tell us what's going
on with that. He said, there's some glitchers. We'll sort
it out. You know, it's your job. You've been there
two years, you've been the Minister of Civil Defense.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Sort it out.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
You don't just say, oh, there's been some glitchers. This
could have had people could have died with this incompetence
cheap as.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Wouldn't I know.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
If anyone's disengaged from the alarm system. After this, I
wouldn't disengage, but I just wonder if you have. And
when you go back on the system, I suppose the
neighbors will knock on the door and say, heyk Bluey,
we're away. She's on. I know you've just engaged and
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
Hllio Marcus. First of all, I'd like to say, you
need to count to ten and breathe calmly for five minutes.
I personally, I only got two notifications. I live two
minutes from the sea and the Bay of Plenty. Got
a notification about the tsunami and earthquake way up in

(11:32):
Russia yesterday afternoon and then it's six thirty. The notification
was about the sea, the surges, the currents, and we
have had damage here in New Zealand before from those things.
It asked people not to go seeing, to stay away

(11:56):
from the water because you could still get the in
and out tidal thing. And I'm actually I'll be very
interested to find out why some people got so many notifications.
And I think there's another thing that comes into play.

(12:16):
It's how people have got their phone set how many
times their notifications repeat. And we have also got ai
floating around their internet and phone systems, and it's very precocious.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't think it'd be anything to do with AI.
I would imagine that those people who are getting it,
I'm just talking and sorry, I'm just talking. I think
it's got nothing to do with AI. I think probably
those people have been getting it back and forwards, are
between cell towers and are getting it in the cusp
of two cell towers. But what I don't understand the

(12:53):
earthquake was eleven twenty three. Why all that information they
gave us could not have been contained in the four
thirty message. Why they felt I want to know who panicked?
It's six thirty and I felt they needed to do
another reminder because that to me was not new information.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
It didn't they notified you and asked people not to
go sight see it.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
But that was always there in the one that was
four o'clock in the afternoon, and they had the whole
network news. The guy was on the TV at six o'clock.
We talked about it all last night. There was an
endless amount of discussion for it. So yeah, I think
something's gone on with that six thirty one, And that's
the one that people seem to think was probably unnecessary,

(13:35):
and as a result, there wasn't much. I mean even
in Bluff Harbor they removed all the ships out to sea.
They came back in. But you know, this was not
after the six thirty one. This was after the one yesterday.
The maritime people knew what to do. Anyway, nice to
hear from you. And eight hundred and eighty today, twenty
four past eight, Pete, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 9 (13:58):
I go.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Did you have many? Did you get Pete?

Speaker 9 (14:01):
I just now I've got one last night at sixteen,
and I got a one again this morning at eight
forty one, and I got a one again this afternoon
at for four to fourteen pm.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Why'd you get one this afternoon? Were you drop? Were
you Were you driving when you got it?

Speaker 7 (14:25):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (14:25):
I actually was, Yeah, I was. This is in town?

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Were you driving?

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Were you driving from inland to the coast?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
No?

Speaker 9 (14:33):
I just saw just in this in the city of
New plum Here.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Okay, it's weird. It's just so weird because I mean
there was no threat by then, as you.

Speaker 9 (14:40):
You said six thirty last night, I got mine at
six six.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Six, I think it was four to twenty yesterday. Then
six thirty this morning.

Speaker 9 (14:50):
Yeah, I know mine saying last night I was sixth
in about six six fourteen, and again today in the
morning it's it's before eight forty one, and again this
alfening the fourth fourteen PM. So it seems to be
likely are tires of it in consistently too, if you
if I look into my times now, what's going on there?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I can't work out why they'd be delayed, because you'd
need that if it was an earthquake like in the
Pistaca Trench or in the Kermadex and we only had
half an hour, you'd want it to bet to everyone
around the whole country instantly.

Speaker 9 (15:19):
Well you think so, you're thinking it'd be automatic, everybody
get the same time, weren't you?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Absolutely, And I mean that you imagine that the whole
scientist that would be fairly straightforward.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
Maybe that maybe because of the server or maybe the
k can't handle doing anyone they got to stake it.
Maybe I don't know, But.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
When we had that alert in May that seemed to
work quite well, that test alert that was right around
the whole country.

Speaker 9 (15:44):
Yeah, I can't recall that. Yeah, they had gone off before,
but you're did right, I'm just looking at the map
here now of Russia. You know, Okay, it comes all
the way down in New Zealand. We were on that
on that on the suppose you called out on the
east side. I suppose can't you on that coast there?
But what they have to do was I reckon that
they put some boys or something more out there, so

(16:04):
you got up there technology.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think there will there will be a lot of
boys all in the sea. They will have known exactly
what was coming. But the things they were worried about
was it bouncing off Chile or Chile or South America
and then coming through that way.

Speaker 9 (16:19):
Yeah, And I reckon they can look at every country differently.
We were the way way woman at the bottom of
it before it hit. Before you think by then it
probably wouldn't have.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
You switched if you switched alerts off.

Speaker 9 (16:31):
No, I haven't, no, I just but I reckon how
they they saved that other lady the other night he
got lost in that old folks home. I reckon what
they should have like two or three different sort of
singles say okay, this is the you know what this
one and we all know that emergency, and maybe how
they found that lady. That was really good. How the
police clicked on that and found that lady, the lady

(16:52):
that died just in the outside for ten days. That
was cruel. That was horrible.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, okay, beat a lot of texts coming through, Marcus.
I was up at sixty the air when the alarm
went off. Got a fright, but didn't look at it
because I was listening to the news on news talksz'd
be and there was no urgency or imminent I mentioned
it was overkill. Cheers Jilly. My aunt Judy got six
alerts yesterday and six more this morning. Upon receiving the
last one for a strategy blet out geez, anyone's trigger

(17:18):
happy with a new toy. Her husband Joe, who lives
in the same house, is still waiting for any alert
the irony. He's got the latest Android phone from his
daughter who works and lives in South Korea. He's not
happy either. Maybe some people have retardation and can't understand
what's going on, Marcus. When the alarm went off at

(17:38):
six point thirty, this Ami is half as sleep. As
I've reached for the phone. I must have touched the
okay spot on the screen, because when I saw the screen,
there was no message. It might be useful if we
could recall the emergency message for a time after it
has been sent. I can't recall it on my phone, Kate,
I would imagine what you'd be better off doing is
setting the first alert and setting up a TV channel

(17:59):
or a radio channel, say for more information, tune in
here and have some talking head in the bar and
could talking about what's happening now with the information that's
coming across from the boys from Kumchetka and just telling
people the state of play, because they can't just give
updates the whole time with alerts like that, A because
the alert system doesn't really work, and B it's kind

(18:21):
of for emergencies, it's not for progress reports. That's my
take anyway, Hideous been woken up with that noise at
six am. They couldn't organize piss up in a brewer
despite drive July civil offense for joke. I live in Hamilton.

(18:41):
We didn't get the alerts, but as you say, everyone
should get the alerts, as people should be contemplating driving
to a coastal area. Less civil defense, more civil offense.
Literally woke up to an emergency alarm from a traumatic nightmare. Gosh,
I feel for you anyway, else got any clarity about
this eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Because what will

(19:05):
happen in the next week's, day, months, years, This alert
system will be used much more often. But we need
to have faith that it's going to be used not
as a faith saving exercise, but it's going to be
used with the best information and only the very necessary information.

(19:26):
And I don't have full faith that that's what we
got yesterday and today. That would be my take about that.
Oh my god, lockdown on storm trauma triggered by that
alert sound I swore out loud? What is it?

Speaker 10 (19:40):
Now?

Speaker 2 (19:41):
So your comment about that and how Yeah, I didn't
get the alert today, which was weird too, But we
want to comment on that eight hundred and eighty tatty
and nine two nine to the text markus till twelve,
Looking forward to your input tonight. Anything else you want
to mention, feel free to come through. This day in
seventy six, John Walker run gold at Montreal Soft Gold.

(20:07):
Was it heavily boycotted by Africa?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Am I right?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Things? So that's this day in seventy six. I presume
that was probably the morning to we get up and
watched that in the morning, I think kind of so,
but yeah, that's what we're on about tonight. Amazing that story.
But that's stick insect that's discovered in Australia. It's insect
that leaven you exists. It's the biggest insect in Australia.

(20:30):
It's a massive stick insect lives up trees weight of
a Gulf war but looks a lot heavier than that.
By the way, to Ozzy Osborne's memorial was held in
the morning for here in the morning our time. Did
you watch that? I'd be curious to know eight hundred
and eighty taddire nine two nine two any break and
use anything else. I'm here for you tonight, yay. And

(20:54):
how would they make it better? I suppose it's a
system with the alerts. Just get it fixed. Because the
other thing too is that I don't think anyone's really
experienced dangerous surge conditions at sea. Although we're not out

(21:19):
of the woods yet, I reckon the North Island East
coast is still vulnerable and they may be present till
three thirty am, but next time we get it's probably
going to be a lot more serious. So I mean
you couldn't really get an earthquake further away on the
Pacific Ring than Kubchetka. Well, next time, if it's Tonga

(21:43):
or you know, it won't be as much time. It
will need to be acted on really quickly. So yeah,
by the way, Chatnam's got a bit of action, isn't it.
I don't know why that is because of the it's
the island, or because it's surrounded by deep ocean. Hey
es ify. I tend left to go on the rugby.
This is the start of the NPC All Club thirty

(22:03):
two twenty four. We've got the big match on Saturday,
which is the Southland Derby Derby a Southland Otago. They'll
get a good crowd of that one every year, so
that could be interesting to go to. Might see you there.
Tsunami warnings. Because I sat here last night, I couldn't
believe those people that said they've got it twenty or
thirty times. I thought they must have just not tapped

(22:25):
their phone properly or not acknowledged it. But yeah, they've
got them. Like up to fifty times people were hiding
their phones. I'm mentioning also New World and speG Let's
hope we don't get the disaster this year with everyone
cashing in their coupons and there being known stuff. You
might want to report back on that also tonight, anything

(22:47):
else you're up for for a discussion on film more
than welcome getting touched by nice heavy on board eight
hundred and eighty nine nine two detects they alert? Is
anyone switched off the alert? That's what I'm curious about.

(23:10):
I'm not going to tell you how to do it,
because I don't think people should do it, but I
can understand if people have done it, particular if you're
a shift worker, because I mean, for a lot of
us getting big to sleep, getting back to sleep's not
that easy. Oh well, I'm up now, as we'll go
and do something out of the beach. I'm joking O
ways hundred eighty turny. My name's Marcus. Welcome anything I

(23:31):
want to mention tonight, brilliant Bernard, It's Marcus. Good evening
and welcome.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Hello Marcus. I've just got a question on behalf of
a friend of mine. I'm wondering how many illegal phones
were found in the prisons by the alert.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's a very good point, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
It's a very good point, friend, and.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Maybe someone that's in prison could text us. I did
hear people that were flying domestically and internationally, and when
they cut that a flight from Sydney coming across the
White Tarks and they came into into receiving zone and
every you know, and half the cell phones pingned even
though you're supposed to have the cell phones off.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I remember years back in the nineteen sixties later early
nineteen sixties on Wakatani and there was an earthquake. I
think it was Kuakatawa, but I'm not one hundred percent
certain on that. And I was in teleko or post office,
and the exchange was down on the waterfront, and we
evacuated all the staff except the supervisor, the senior technician, myself,

(24:39):
and we had a hot line up the hill so
they could watch the tsunami coming in. And apparently it
came in and with the holes and the wharf, you know,
the slat, the gaps between the slats on the wharf,
the wooden slats, the water was bubbling up through those

(25:01):
because it came up through the harbor. That's the only
experience over it they had with the tsunami but here
they were watching from up the hill and told us
to get out. So we had a vehicle with the
motor running just outside and hopped in that and got
up out of the way.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
That.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Yeah, it came in very quickly and went out very quickly.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
So yeah, but I'm certainly we have family plans to
walk up the hill when it goes, because the thing
about when it comes, you're not supposed to drive, You're
supposed to walk to give room for everyone. But that
wasn't a walk up the hill type situation. By the way,
have we ever worked out why you can't have cell
phones on planes? I've never heard a convincing reason for that, ever,

(25:41):
because most people turn them on anyway. I've never heard
a convincing reason why you can't have cell phones on planes. Never.
Maybe someone could enlighten me. I enjoyed that drone discussion yesterday.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
F y.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
I welcome if you want to talk Marcus or twelve.
Thanks Bernard Evan.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's good evening.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
You've got a query.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
I was just wondering if anybody has predicted the stuff
on your predictions, Dan, And the other thing was airplanes.
I think it interferes with the electronics do it.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't think so. Otherwise they'd been them because you
can dofflowin with flights with a tune on excidentally and
the plane doesn't come down. Yeah, anyway, you've never heard
a convincing reason. Okay, did you experience any title wash?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
No, Now I was going to ring his those anything,
but now it seemed to be pretty calm.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Are you on a boat?

Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Completely calm, business as usual?

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Yep. Yeah, I didn't leave.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I think the car periody.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
What an auckland?

Speaker 7 (27:02):
Yeah? Legally, yeah, I tried to.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I tried to put my boat back fishing, but they
kicked me out of the vaduct. Really yeah, madness. Everywhere
I go get kicked out.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Where's Nick's.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Uh yeah, A good question there, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
What are the rules with moorings? Can you more everywhere
or anywhere?

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well? I think I told you about the harbormaster, no
finding me anchoring them foo ticky bait for being the
liver board. Yeah you know, I went. I had to
go to town for something, so I thought I'll go
in the vaduct and I thought to myself, well, I
put the boat back into fishing. I got the short

(27:51):
shrift shift out of this, so I don't want to snapper
exporters along lining. Yes, it's all uh, very strange stuff
going on at the moment.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Marcus, you asked for a hand if we could find
more moorings for you. If you're in the need, will
sort it out for you, Marcus. Sending alerts to everyone
won't work either. You'll get people in tope or morning
it doesn't apply to them. You can't win, Marcus. A

(28:21):
few years ago I went to the United States. They
got alert about a missing child and alert about a
child kidnapping. I guess they're not only using an alert
for natural disasters yet. I was saying that last week
in Texas, there's so many different alerts now. When the
alert came out about that river that was rising very quickly,
most people had the alerts turned off because they come
so often now with missing people and attacks on police

(28:48):
and all worthy stuff. But probably not the best stuff
to be sending all area alerts for Marcus. I did
think at the emergency beacon you star on my phone
here in christ Church. But in April late one morning,
I've got a plus a phone alert because of a
warehouse fire way over in Bromley, and Rickerton looking out

(29:09):
the detail. The fan statement was acrid burning plastic drifting
across the city, but obviously whichever way it was blowing.
Maybe when technology improves, phone lurks will link in with
the cation and wood direction. Marcus, I got the alert
this morning. As soon as I touched the screen to
tee of the noise, the message disappeared. I looked for
to my text messages, but it was gone, so I
couldn't even read what the warning was about. Yes, I'll

(29:30):
have trouble refinding ma tet by alerts and Marcus was
in Hawaii about seven years ago during an approaching hurricane.
Alert went off every ten minutes. When the hurricane arrived,
and although in the hotel were told to be self
sufficient for seven days, it was terrifying forty eight hours. Rebecca,
seems like other countries have had the alert systems working

(29:53):
and working well for a long time. You think we
could just buy the module from another country that would
work for exciting into the rugby thirty five to thirty six.
Jay lead that So that's unbelievable. So yep, it's something
that's happening as I speak. I think it's just over
So why could have one that come from but I
don't even think think they've led it to any part
of the match, So you might have been it that.

(30:14):
I wouldn't mind hearing from you about that. Eight hundred
eighty ten eighty nine nine two text.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Here.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Wow, good to start at the NPC and they'll buy
it like that. What do they call that the Battle
of the Bombays? It's the Battle of the Bridge, the
Battle of the Bombays. What are the other local derbies
called the Battle of the South.

Speaker 8 (30:36):
That?

Speaker 2 (30:37):
What the other? I think the Battle of the bomb Bays.
The bottle of the bridge is the best, but the
bettle of the bridge goes like the bettle of the
bulge twelve from nine. I hope we get one on
here tonight in an alert. You haven't been on here
with an alert before. Was hoskings phone on. Happy birthday

(30:58):
to all the horses across news in and I hope
they will get an extra. Hey always wanted to ask,
does official birthdays for tomorrow's steened to horses, to mules,
donkeys and Shetland ponies. It's a great question. Swipe your
finger down from the top of the screen and notification

(31:19):
to a show that doesn't work for me, and there
it is well done. These currents can injure or drown people.
It's a six thirty one. They need their own TV channel.
I think probably civil defense could I'd be doing Get

(31:43):
in touch by name's Marcus, Welcome line dar Free. Yeah, airlines?
Do we ever sold that? With airlines and planes and phones?
I've never got that worked out. What's the alert for
the FBI setting up in Wellington?

Speaker 7 (31:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Wow? And when they have a tourist shop you can
go and buy nick knacks. People into that, won't they
That's surprising the FBI like that. And you wonder why
I needed to come across. And you wonder what happened
with a photograph with him and Winston Peters if someone said, oh,
we need something between you, what about an old rugby ball?
Because that looked weird as.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Well.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
They just got some of the knick knacks from the
knickknacks from the Foreign Minister's office. Go figure, Go figure, Marcus.
By the way, the record wave height for the Southern
Hemisphere was recorded off the Campbell Islands was twenty three
point eight meters. I don't know how many feet that is,

(32:38):
but they would all be all running. That's big, isn't it.
That's a big wave. And I see too. I don't
like to alert you about air travel, but did you
see that story about turbulence, because the turbulence is getting
worse on the planes with the weather getting worse. But
I think we're twenty four people hospitalized when a plane
hit turbulence. Twenty five actually Delta Delta Dawn, twenty five

(33:04):
people on hospital Salt Lake City to Amsterdam. You can
see even on flight radar, we're the droppers went from
thirty eight thousand to thirty five thousand feet three thousand

(33:24):
feet drop. That's a kilometer, isn't it. Jeepers over land, Wow,
you want to keep your belt on, wouldn't you? You'd
want to be keeping heaving eppy not needs the toilets
or something like that, because it's going to be a worry.
Good evening, Michelle, this is Marcus. Welcome O.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
I'm in the car.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:48):
I can hear you really clearly.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Yep.

Speaker 11 (33:50):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 12 (33:51):
How Yeah, I was just calling up about the the
alerts that we've been getting. I actually tuned my alerts
off during COVID. Oh wow, and yeah, I haven't had
them on since because I just found it really intrusive.
And I figured, you know, if you want to hear

(34:14):
some kind of update or news or whatever, you can
tune the radio on you you know, watch the tchoose
when when you're gonna hut your updates, because you know,
lives are all different in that exactly.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Although Michelle, Michelle I could say, if you find the
noise of an alert and alert intrusive, you're going to
find a thirty foot wall of water really intrusive.

Speaker 13 (34:39):
Oh yeah, totally. But I mean, seriously, how many people
went around with unnecessary fear because they got that notication?
And I was speaking to a friend today and she
did her mother's in an age fear facility, and they
just could not be She just got the notification and
she was decided, Wow, I mean, how do you for

(35:02):
her and for their family.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
I just think a lot of us about, well.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
It's going to be hard for them to get it
right too. But they sort of had enough time because
it was you know, at half past eleven, the earth
quake happened and it didn't really affect Hawaii or Japan,
and it wasn't going to get bigger from there. It's
not there's no more energy going into it, is there.
So I can't kind of work out. I'd like to
know what meetings they had. Maybe someone will do an
official information request, because what I'd like to know why

(35:31):
they decided to send that one out this morning. It
seems weird.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
I didn't get that, Michelle.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Michelle, you don't get any of them.

Speaker 14 (35:41):
Yeah, yeah, oh, I see what you're saying.

Speaker 13 (35:46):
They were going off in the house. But yeah, I've
turned to mine off.

Speaker 14 (35:50):
I think it's way too impressive.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, okay, last hear Michelle. Thank you. By the way,
no one predicted in our predictions that the FBI was
going to open office in Wellington. Yep, wonder where It's
going to be a lot of empty space there at
the moment. I suppose we'll never know.

Speaker 10 (36:11):
Will We.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Don't know what you need for an FBI office, Probably
good internet. Davis texted here because the FBI is he'd
to negotiate the Kim dot Com extraction. Another text that
says Marcus, I did predict the FBI would open and Wellington,
but found it prudent to keep it secret. Brilliant mobile
phones on planes. Yeah, I thought it was to do

(36:35):
because it damaged the towers below or put too much
stress on them jumping from tower to tower. That's why
I've put that up tonight, because I don't think it
was to do with the planes. But maybe there are
some aviation people that know. I know we skew strong
with the aviation audience. Marcus. Mobile phones have switched off
during flights for precautions reasons only. There are no recordings

(36:57):
since where mobile signals have definitely caused into the excellent
modern airplanes are necessary and creasy shielded against interference. Harry
them switched off as heavy. It really a hangover precaution
from the past. Oh. As an aviation profession of thirty years,
I'd say it's probably not a precaution we need any more.
But removing safety precautions take longer than adding them in

(37:17):
the aviation Well, that's from Dylan, he's not about eight
past nine. Your thoughts about the immergency alert system, your
comments after what we've seen in the past thirty six hours.
We got the first alert and we've got the other alert.
Some people got them multiple times, but we've got one
six thirty in the morning. I mean, maybe if they

(37:38):
need to do a second one. They could have done
it at nine o'clock the night before and said, hey, just
we're thinking about it, don't go to the beach tomorrow morning.
I think people would have responded better of a nine
pm one than a six thirty am one. That's why
I turn a phone on aeroplane mode. There's avocado day today.
We're sick of avocados yet? Yes, probably there's good years
and bad years. I think we're in a good year.

(37:59):
But they're small. By the way, in Peru, some of
the Incan mummies were buried with avocados next to them.
They are called alligator pears in South When when they
first come to the United States, that's right, native to Mexico. Ye,

(38:24):
that figure gets where the guacamole comes from, isn't it.
I wonder when they first went to England. Did Columbus
take them back? No, not Columbus or one of the pirates.
Probably when the first avocado was in England. It's not
like it'd be too bland for them there would it.

(38:49):
Quite recently, Marks and Spencer's the first to introduce avocados
to the UK supermarkets Avocado pears nineteen sixty eight. Some
even cooked them like pears and served them with custard.
That would be a bland dish, wouldn't it.

Speaker 15 (39:10):
Gosh?

Speaker 2 (39:10):
So recent? If you live in golden times, don't we
with the avocado goodness? So recent? I don't know when
the first one would have come to New Zealand. I
was to speak before then, cheapers anyway, thirteen past dared,
if there's something different you want to mention tonight too,

(39:31):
it's Thursday free for all, like the Friday free for all,
but slightly more serious, but not that much more serious. Marcus.
I thought the emergency alerts were designed to go through
to every phone that was on, regardless of what the
solent aeroplane mode. Cheers Jason. Yes, we're finding a lot
about that, Marcus. A pilot told me once that mobiles
caused static in their headsets. I heard that it was

(39:56):
because they actually put too much pressure on the cell
phone towers, and there might be several reasons. If you've
got a theory about that, boy, if I got the
show for you. Of course, now they're terrified they'll go
down the back of the battery, back of chairs and

(40:16):
they'll cause a fire, and that is a real alert. Yes,
mobile phones are required to be an aeroplane mode because
of the risk of disrupting ground based cellular networks. Avocado peer,
it's pretty interesting, Oh, avocados have a massive pip because

(40:41):
a giant cowlike animal now extinct used to eat them. Wow,
now why would that make a difference. It's a very
interesting point there, Steve, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Good evening.

Speaker 10 (40:59):
I never knew I was lacking so much knowledge about
the avocado.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
No, what a what a topic. I didn't know they
had a I'm just trying to think why they needed
a giant skin anyway, a giant pope.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
You had me at Alligator.

Speaker 10 (41:15):
You really did.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
The elevator. It's a nice plot in the Yeah.

Speaker 10 (41:22):
Story in my family goes that my grandparents in the UK,
who were born in like nineteen o five and nineteen
oh three, bought this weird fruit from Marks and Spencer's
in the very very early seventies and tried it with
custard because they were told it was a pair. And

(41:43):
for that, my dear mother, who was born in nineteen
would never touch an avocado in her entire time. In
New Zealand, even though they have plenty, you know, plentiful
as anything, never ever would touch one because she had
always grown up thinking that they were horrifically horrid fruit.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (42:01):
And then I put it to her on post in
her eighties and.

Speaker 15 (42:04):
She loved it.

Speaker 10 (42:05):
Cheapiss I honestly thought that was the only person on
the planet who had ever tried it with custards.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
Well, I'm sure, yeah, well so, But that was interesting
because I researched that it said nineteen six Marks and Spencers,
and that was your story exactly, wasn't it.

Speaker 10 (42:22):
Yeah, yeah, early early sixties, early seventies. Yet ninety sixty eight.
You said the early seventies. They must have become a
bit more popular in a couple of years, And yeah,
the story in my family goes that there were a
horrifically horrid thing with custards.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Have you ever cooked avocado?

Speaker 8 (42:43):
No?

Speaker 10 (42:45):
It goes on posts, that's about its life.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Do you think there'd be something more you could do
with it? Because often you get them just rotting in
the bowl.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
You do.

Speaker 10 (42:56):
There's nothing worse than getting a lovely, nice, big avocado
and harving it and trying to get the stone out
and finding out that it's all black and cave done
on the inside.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Horrible, horrible, and of course the surgeons don't like it
because there are inundated with a hand operations because people
chop their hands as they try and remove the they
were dangerous fruit.

Speaker 10 (43:14):
Yeah, that's what you're doing that you hack at it
with a knife to try and attack the stone and
then hear it on the edge of the blade, so
you can give it a good twist. Imagine if you missed,
you've locked the thumb.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Steve, did you get an alert? You got a comment
about the alerts.

Speaker 10 (43:30):
Yeah, Five people in my household were based in South
Auckland and sort of that Franklin area, sort of like
the Pokakoe bombay kind of area. They didn't get the alert,
and myself and my wife were in the eastern Auckland
area closer to the sea, or so we thought.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
So therefore we did get the alert.

Speaker 10 (43:49):
That was the initial one that came out.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Did you get it as you were traveling? Did you
get it as you were traveling?

Speaker 10 (43:55):
No? No, So we were we were in a fixed
point of attacked to sell towers in eastern Auckland. We
got it, and of course we our first thought were
what are our children doing? And so we contacted them
in Torka koe and they hadn't got the alert at
that stage. But then I did manage to get one

(44:15):
on my phone at about five thirty in.

Speaker 6 (44:17):
The morning yesterday morning.

Speaker 10 (44:18):
That was a bit of a shop for the system.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
There's even before the quake yesterday morning at five thirty,
what was that for.

Speaker 10 (44:25):
Yesterday morning?

Speaker 6 (44:26):
This morning?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Maybe I'm that's sleep deprived because of that damn alert exactly.
Probably more, probably more people would risk it injuring themselves
because they're driving tired, because they got woken up at
a decent time than anyway will be affected by the
title surge.

Speaker 10 (44:42):
I have to I have to say it's very very
loud when it goes off in a workplace.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
I can understand that very loud anywhere. Avocado pie amazing,
much like a cheesecake. And yes, no, they do have
the giant pips for the megafauna. Evercardo see a large
because they were likely meant to be dispersed by a
megafauna large animals that no longer exist. The seed is

(45:10):
scentially a large reserve of energy designed to gran a
new plant. Yeah, that'd swallow the fruit whole and then
disperse the seed through their dung. So I guess if

(45:31):
the seed was smaller, they wouldn't last through. The sloths
tracked fruits to nature's way of convincing animals to swallow seeds.
The point of this is, of course, for the seed
to hitch a ride to place it's far away from
the mother plant where it congerminate in the dung. It

(45:55):
makes sense for apples and grapes, but what about an avocado. Yeah,
for the megafauna cheubecca, like giant sloth that stood tall. Anyway,

(46:20):
that's the way it works, Kate, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 16 (46:24):
Hi, how are you Marcus good?

Speaker 10 (46:25):
Thank you, that's good.

Speaker 16 (46:28):
I'm just discussing avocado and read paper, green paper, and broccoli.
I can only recall those been around for the last
thirty forty years. When I was kidd in the seventies,
there was no such thing as broccoli or avocado, or
red or green papers or capsicans. And they're all new

(46:50):
since the forties. Are since the last forty years. And
you know, it's a desire where you like them. I
mean parents years ago or mums years ago, when they
cooked they had it at very simple, you know, process
to buy, and nowadays it's so different it's chi can

(47:12):
cook gour may and they certainly went around When I
was a kid in the seventies, it was just cabbage.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
The green capsican was really plentiful, though not so much
the rede Okay, that's my recollection.

Speaker 16 (47:25):
Okay, yeah, I remember going to my older sisters and
she was flatten and she made a stir fry probably
it would have been early eighties, and I thought, oh,
I've never tried this before, and I thought it was
absolutely lovely. But certainly before they never tried capsican or
broccoli or certainly avocado, so knew out.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Okay, appreciate that, Kate, Thank you well, have an exciting times.
I guess the way that guess, you know, like a
Chinese cooking and a stir fry that was always big. Well,
they put broccoli in there, would you, Marcus? We would
have a carda on our meat lover's pizza. Not too bad.
And you've got that stupid alert this morning. I thought

(48:12):
it was too early and no needed. It's hard to believe,
but avocado makes a lovely chocolate moose. Moose. I was
really interested to read that article about the evocado pip.
It's from the media and website, but then I had
to click on to get more. I got to members
only story. I found that quite fascinating, so not for

(48:32):
me anymore. When your avocado was ripe, you don't want
to use it for a few days, putting a bowl
and cover with water in the fridge till you want
to eat it. Mary's clearly got a bigger fridge than
we have our micro fridge Rugby. It was like Arthur

(48:56):
Stone screwing the winning try and Eating part forty five
years ago. That's right on Arthur's Stone, famous lightest all
black ever Marcus. What if they did a world first
in opening a souvenir shop in Wellington? What would you
buy for your kids and market? Teach you O handcuffs?

(49:18):
Not true green pepper and avocado's around the sixties, other
child wanted to my mother had dinner parties. I mixed
avocado with butter and making chocolate cake. It was good.
Weirdest thing you've done with an avocado and the megafauna.

(49:38):
I hate to say it, but just going back to
the alerts, oh ye, that's right. I think it would
be good if someone within the ministry or some of
in Civil Defense could do a get an independent person
to just work out how many alerts they got in
Hawaii and Japan and California and the West coast of

(50:01):
South America, because I wonder if they got as many
at different times as we did. Seems to be slightly
more med there and they have. Honestly, this is not
the first rodeo. They've been doing this for a while
with the alerts. Because we might be trigger happy and
over alerty, if that's the right word. Someone says whinning.
We was the very first Chinese takeaway that sold Chinese
food and news in and we always hear about the

(50:22):
first meccas and the first KFC. Would being sent to
tag with the gold mining days? Wouldn't it be some
canvas structure up the Cluther I would imagine. It's a
good question, though. Search Avo Gray avocados story first seeds

(50:43):
in New Zealand nineteen twenty We met the English by
sixty years we are talking avocados. I think it's a
good season this year. Gisban nineteen twenty one, Charles Gray,

(51:08):
founding father of avocados. I don't know where we got it. Wow,
it's a bold thing to do. It's a good story.
Be a part of you want to talk he till twelve.

(51:30):
You're many. This is Marcus, Welcome home, Marcus, can hear
me on my phone? Laud and Claire, what are you lemming?

Speaker 4 (51:38):
Calving carving earlier?

Speaker 9 (51:40):
Late?

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Uh?

Speaker 15 (51:42):
We were just starting off, but we are late compute
to our neighbors. We're just pushing carrying that back a
bit for for holy reasons and economics. Wowa Avocados are good,
but I don't know how slots eat them because cows
with cows are poisonous. Really don't closed must be not.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
They must have different stomach acids that can break it down.

Speaker 17 (52:11):
Yeah, maybe, Or I.

Speaker 15 (52:13):
Could just be having that big ginormous probably not through
the couch stomach so well could block it up.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Got a toxic and it called person which could cause
health issues. And livestock because there are a ruminants.

Speaker 15 (52:33):
But I locked into it because the good cash crop
shade tree, but it would be poison.

Speaker 2 (52:40):
What about sheep because you have the sheep wandering between them.
They are a ruminant too, aren't they?

Speaker 15 (52:47):
You couldn't have Yeah, just taking.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Mary, I'm going to revisit you. Just I don't go away.
There's no lines free, I don't call yet people. I'll
be with you soon.

Speaker 7 (52:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Mary just phones on planes did something to say about that.

Speaker 15 (52:58):
Yeah, I've just come back from England and guitars.

Speaker 17 (53:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (53:06):
In England the thing my brother had going to a
big Christian conference in the Lake District celebrating one hundred
and fifty years of the Kiswick Movement.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
I hang on, that's a very fous a meeting.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
What are the Quick Movement?

Speaker 15 (53:22):
The Kasick movement is a thing that I'm involved with.
And Road to Rule the kids a Christian camp and
it started one hundred fty years ago and Kissick in
England with some burnt out minister that wanted to get
all the churches together and they have like a multi
like a non denominational Jesus thing instead of each other.

Speaker 9 (53:44):
Yeah wow.

Speaker 15 (53:46):
So so that's been going one hundred fifty years and
the mone of New Zealand has been going for a
hundred years. So a bunch of us from around the world,
from all the other Quasick conferences went there to celebrate.
About ten thousand people there. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
It was a company good stone walls.

Speaker 15 (54:03):
Oh yes, lovely stone walls, not like not like the
Northman ones. Slate on top.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Yeah, they have got that that's that stuff on top
to anchor them down, haven't they.

Speaker 15 (54:13):
Yeah, like a spiky top.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Holds it together.

Speaker 6 (54:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
They were quite tall capping Okay.

Speaker 15 (54:21):
Quite impressive. And anyway back to my planes phone story.
So when you're on a plane and you're going over
a happy country like Australia, a new modern plane, the
phones are all going and then when you hit some
sort of like dodgy African or the least countries, then
it all turns off. So for me it appears that

(54:43):
some countries have it. When you're flying over in some
countries have phones going, yeah, and they turned off.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
So you can have your f You can have your
phone on on exectial flights now country most of the time.

Speaker 15 (54:54):
Yeah. Yeah. So if you the tsunami warning, I guess
the phone would start alarming you run, telling you run
to go to high ground, but you're in the plane
to probably be right.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Who ran? Who ran the farm? When you were away?
The kids?

Speaker 15 (55:12):
I feedian coworker and the kids and the wist.

Speaker 18 (55:15):
Yeah, it was fine, brilliant.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
I want to hear the coworker twenty seven to Davy Marcus.

Speaker 19 (55:21):
Hello, oh hey Marcus, So I've got a bit of
a theory on on the cell phone thing. I was
a pilot many years ago and when I was learning
to buy us early into the cell phone market. So
going back thirty five odd years ago now, when I

(55:45):
was about eighteen, I bought my first cell phone, and
back then no one had them, so it was a
pointless thing to do. I was probably just noting.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
And but.

Speaker 19 (55:59):
I had this expensive cell phone and it costs I
think from memory, two dollars thirty something a minute to
call someone that I just got my private pilot's license
and O my cousin was a flood at tenant in
British Airways, and I just wanted to call her up
and tell her all about it. And so I waited

(56:23):
until I was actually flying, and I called her from
the aeroplane airboard out of Ardmore, and I think we
chatted for about five minutes, and I thought, oh god,
I've dread this bill back then, you know, fifteen dollar
call it was, that's a big deal. But I never

(56:44):
got the bill, and so I waited till the next month,
and I thought, I'll give that another game, and then sure,
and I did a similar thing when I got airborne
and flying and just had another chat with her and
about whatever, and again on that occasion never got the bill.

(57:09):
And then I looked into it, and I realized that
the technology in those days required triangulation to the phone,
so it needed to have a signal from your phone
to a ground based cell tower in order to interrogate

(57:29):
your phone to bill you, then to the satellite and
to wherever after that. But if you've got airborne and
you were outside the range of the ground based satellite
cell tower, it would just bypass that and go direct
to the satellite and to whoever you're calling. And therefore

(57:51):
they were unable to track where the call came from
and not bill you. And I capitalized on that for
a good five years until the technology caught up. But
they would have known that in the early days, and
that'll be the reason from that, because.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
They couldn't build people from a being in the sky.
It's a very good point.

Speaker 19 (58:11):
Well that was that was in my opinion, the reason
why they banned it in the early days. And then
because you remember they they say in service stations you
can't use it. It could call it dis exposing all
and then that turned out to be bullocks, and it's
the same with aeroplanes, and then later on went on

(58:32):
to eline flying and whatever you And on my first
day in the cockpit, I couldn't believe that there was
a company issued cell phone in the cockpit. So it's
been no. So my theory as it started off.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
It's the best David, that's the best theory i've heard.
That makes more sense than anything i've heard. Yeah, well,
you go, what why did they Why did they bend
them from gas stations? Was there ever a practical reason
for that? Were they just worried that people would get hit? Well,
I can't work that one out.

Speaker 19 (59:06):
I I don't know.

Speaker 6 (59:09):
There was.

Speaker 19 (59:10):
Maybe one of these COVID theeries.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Goodness, it's I'll try to get some answers. Davey, thank
you to the cricket Simbabwe all out for one four
nine ye is in have taken over the total where
one six, two for two that's in Bilawya twenty one
from ten and the Wakata run the rugby come from
behind finish. Dave Marcus welcome.

Speaker 20 (59:32):
Yeah, definitely over Alerty. You know, I got another Nima
Nima emergency where the phone was going eight like it
does and flashing with the lights and there was at
six thirty this morning. Now you know what I think.
I think we like to live in fear and anxiety.

(59:53):
I don't know how far East Russia is from us,
but the earthquake n that's effect. See, you must dissipate
somewhat over distance, or Marcus is at a distraction from
our economy and being over governed and over regulated.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
No one's talking about the butter. No one's doing it
the butter or changing the word after from New Zealand
of the passport that cost them all that money. That
doesn't seem to be that important.

Speaker 20 (01:00:18):
Well, we are rapidly becoming over where we are over governed,
over regulated, and the freedom's being lost in this country
now this business or this Paris accord, where as taxpayers
are getting absolutely fleeced and hoodwinked to pay three hundred
million dollars a year into this.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Racket.

Speaker 20 (01:00:44):
As I say, I think this country's rapidly becoming not
a present place to live.

Speaker 6 (01:00:50):
Marcus. Where are you moving?

Speaker 7 (01:00:53):
Dave?

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Where will you go? You're going to go back to Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Yeah, made the far North thround.

Speaker 20 (01:00:57):
I like Broom I at the top end. It's very
laid back plenty of work around there, and the going
is more relaxed where I mean can live his life
and relative freedom.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Are you thinking of going.

Speaker 20 (01:01:13):
Well, as soon as my obligations here to family as
when I'm free to go, Marcus, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
So nice to hear from you, Dave. Thank you. Nineteen
to ten. Ray Marcus, welcome, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:01:28):
How are you good?

Speaker 6 (01:01:29):
Thank you?

Speaker 21 (01:01:30):
Ray.

Speaker 7 (01:01:31):
It's the old geriatric from the coast here. Are you
all right?

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Good? Thank you?

Speaker 15 (01:01:34):
Ray.

Speaker 19 (01:01:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:01:36):
This earthquake view that struck Russia, that was a phenomenal
blasting eight point eight. That's a massively thing on the
Richter scale, you know, considering the one near the head
of the jet. The band was nine. And they're going
to get tsunami things here on around New Zealand. I

(01:02:00):
mean the force of the water. I don't know whether
you remember when they had the big one in Japan.
It stuffed up the.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Rick the.

Speaker 7 (01:02:18):
Fkashima in the Yeah, but the force of the water
that forced the thing. There was a boat that used
to go into the the westward. I don't mean you
know Westport. They're the Melbourne Melbourne Carrier, which was beating
sized boat and this this this force of the tsunami

(01:02:40):
pushed this boat way up into about nine or ten
miles inland into into Japan and pushed up about three
buildings high like a lot. It was it like a
little dinghy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yes, it's amazing, but the.

Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
Force of the water. And they said there that they
come up with this this things that come out on
on on on the radio on the phone there that
this don't don't know you near the waters. I mean,
we're not so bad. You were went black water were
but we're way way above the sea. But lots of

(01:03:17):
lots of brighton or somewhere the south shore over and
Christis where they're close to the sea where they get
the waves. They're quite substantial things and and and up
and uh and in New Plymouth and all that where

(01:03:37):
they're closer the sea. It could do fantastic things here
with with the waves. There were the damage and that,
and people are so nosey you want to go down
and see what's happening because with a tsunami, apparently I
can see the sea goes out, and everybody wants to
go out and see what's happening. And they go out

(01:04:00):
and see what's happening, and of course the waves come
back in again, and the court unaways that. You know,
where's the animals. They won't go anywhere there because they
know about the UK. They head up in the high
high country. And why doesn't the humans listen to the animals?

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
Yeah, they reckon no animals died, and that no dogs
died on the Indonesia the boxing day quit, which is amazing.
Hey tell you something, right, it's no longer called the
Rictor scale. It's a different scale, now, is it.

Speaker 7 (01:04:29):
What do they run up now is a I mean
they were saying on something the thing that will they
ever get a ten?

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Ten on the rector scale?

Speaker 7 (01:04:45):
The tectonic plates, they wouldn't stand at ten anywhere in
the world. But I mean nine is pretty damn big.
I mean when when you work it back back to
to the ningerho go back to the Ningerhoo and Murchison
and all those they were they were six point eight
and six point six, you know, which was a damn thing.

(01:05:08):
But of course they were shallow. I don't know how
how deep this one in the year was up in Russia.
But because Russia is close to the sea, and that's
what does the damage. All the waves and that you know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
Okay, nice to hear from your raph. Thank you. Fifteen
to ten, all about the quakes. I think the Nangaho
were seven point one, Marcus. It was two thirty five
two dollars thirty five or forty five a minute. I
remember for several years when I had a first a
cell phone in nineteen ninety five, I'm thinking nine nine five.

(01:05:48):
Probably my cell phone bill was regularly six hundred dollars
a month, and those endless bills with every cool itemized. Marcus,
what was the protocol rereading other people's interactions on their
cell phones? Do ignore them, read them, starvep to offer
advice that they're doing. Quizzes will suggest better things for

(01:06:10):
them to watch. Love to know anyway, No talk about
the butter when there's a quake. It is twelve to nine.
Good evening, Matthew, Hello him, Matthew, Marcus, welcome, OHI thanks
for me.

Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
Hey.

Speaker 18 (01:06:27):
I was just the reason corning obviously fairly equitulated, but
it was kind of just roles in the system. And
it brought me back to so seismologists role is to
kind of predetermined, prevent born understand all of these kind
of bits and pieces, and it pulled me back to

(01:06:50):
in Italy in the mid two thousands, we had two
seismologists from memory, I'm completely from memory here, but they
were tried on the grounds that they failed to predict
I remember that, yeah, yeah, And there was there was huge,
huge international backlash against the decision. Judge judge ruled, and

(01:07:10):
they were imprisoned and and so anyway, and then it
got me thinking, so we've got a we've got somebody
that tells us whether they're hanging washing out in the
mornings or not, and we kind of get angry. We've
got people who try to predict earthquakes, and we sort
of get angry. We're an economists that tell us to

(01:07:30):
lock in for three years, and we kind of get angry.
When where do we draw the line here?

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
And the answer.

Speaker 18 (01:07:40):
I no, no, I was just just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:43):
The thing about size The thing about size ball is
it's a tough science because every time there's a quake,
there's always new fault lines or mini fault lines that
they didn't know existed. So it's always new information, isn't
They're always quite a actually there we go, there is
now a new quaker, previously unknown quake, So they can
only know what they know once they see that there's earthquakes,

(01:08:05):
let them know where there are fault lines, I suppose.

Speaker 18 (01:08:09):
So if that eliminates them, then I guess we could
almost eliminate those who what are they meteorologists who, given
climate change, given different cloud structures, given the way I
guess things are moving in the atmosphere, they can also
be excused to a point.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
Although I think probably the cell phone of predicted where
the predicting is pretty spot on these days, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (01:08:36):
I might not watch and I just hang my washing
in a way, I go and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
On your cell phone. I mean, the cell phone's always
spot on when they tell you what's coming up, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (01:08:47):
That's potentially speaking a cell phone. So this morning I
woke up to obviously I'm in Wellington, so I woke
up to two emergency calls from Civil Defense, which I
which I appreciated, and it got me thinking, are they
bringing off cell phone towers just to isolate the regions?

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
It's just the coastal is excellent?

Speaker 7 (01:09:08):
How good is that?

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Well they failed it because it didn't actually work a
lot of places. But that's what they were supposed to do,
was just the water like areas. But thank you meth
to Marcus seven sharps and I was discussing unsafe and
orthodox heating methods being used to keep warm. This was
blamed on the increased cost of living, which is part
correct a far bigger barriers keeping warm, the extremely high
cost for elliptrocity. We are being ripped off to bolster

(01:09:29):
their obscene profits. Scize bologists are like lawyers, only get
it right half the time, but they get paid well.
People can't predict earthquakes. There's no way they can do that.
So it's a tough science because what that can they predict?
Pretty much nothing? Oh well, I guess they can work
out building coats and we you can build and how

(01:09:55):
safe places are if a quake does it. It'd be a
frustrating thing to be a sized balloge. You wouldn't want
to go to a party if I'd be eye rolling.
How long before we have to go through another national
allert trial? I think we need to go through them
more often because people got fifty alerts and that never

(01:10:21):
happened last time during the drill. We all just got
it once.

Speaker 22 (01:10:27):
Welcome Bob, Hello Marcus, Bob, Yeah, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
Yep, well yes, Bob, I'm here.

Speaker 22 (01:10:39):
Yeah, I didn't know whether you said a couple of
minutes for the news. So the earthquake what you were
talking about, Long Array, that's where I'm ringing from. Yes,
they had, oh this quake, awesome New Zealand two o'clock
in the morning. And I woke up at about eight

(01:11:01):
nine o'clock and the fires are going all over town
and they've got the new emergence alert system you talked about.
They put in loud of sirens, et cetera. But it
was the biggest joke under the sun. Because I got up,
everybody had left the car park. There was in the
car on the street, and Long Ray it looked like
it was deserted. And I went to the garage and

(01:11:23):
everything was shut already. Couldn't even buy a newspaper, which
was after it that hour of the morning. And please
stop me and said there's a tsunami alert, which I
already knew about because the car pulled into the garage
and said to me, everyone's got to get to the hills.
And I said why and he said tsunami And I

(01:11:45):
said why and I said where? And he said what
are the group of islands Northern New Zealand where it happened. Edic,
don't remember that, Hey, February MS what did you take,
kermedex that's the one. And I laughed because I knew
that was one thousand miles away, and I knew that
the fault line with the specific room meant if there

(01:12:08):
was a tidal wave of slip like the one in Indonesia,
that was a massive underground slip that caused that title
wave that killed all the people in Indonesia Ban Dhatia
right up to Thilan, And I knew where to go
across the South America. So these seismologists and that all
know nothing. They don't think about things, they don't use

(01:12:29):
the government.

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
I know that's fair, Bob. I think you've got no
idea which way it's going to come across from the KERMEDICX,
no idea at all. Just as far as the seismologists goes,
I would never criticize them. I think it's probably a
very difficult thing to do, and it's very necessary thing
to do. I mean, obviously to the Holy Grail would
be to predict earthquakes. And maybe when we get all

(01:12:53):
the data together and we put them to AI or
something that might be something that in the next few
years we get and managed to do, but we're not
there yet. My criticisms most certainly not with a seismologists.
My criticize, criticize, my criticism probably with what I suspect
is the politicization of civil defense that maybe people in

(01:13:14):
power have said, Hey, we need to look like we're
onto this. We need to send messages out, and the
sixth thirty message this morning I thought was probably unnecessary.
And I think we need a system that's better as well,
because some people get it. Some people and get it something.
I've got it fifty times. But yes, I've got no
problem with size Wollagies at all. I think it's a

(01:13:38):
thankless damn task. Marcus. I've never had any of the
test alert, but I've got three for this event, which
was one too many. We want to be part of
the show. My name is Marcus Welker. Will to talk
about avocados and while you can't make phone calls on planes,
or you couldn't for so long, and he really experiences

(01:14:00):
of avocados in the seventies, Marcus. In the mid eighties,
a chef in christ Judge, vocados were on the menu
half filled with shrimp and cocktail sauce and other was
half filled with real crab meat topped with cheese and grilled.
Both were delicious and very popular, never seen again. As
a child in the sixties, my parented a huge garden,

(01:14:21):
red and green capscicle with brocol and eggplants were definitely grown,
along with every vegelt you could think of. We also
grow on peanuts and popping corn which was hung to
dry and the hot water sil in the cupboard. Both
the treat we looked forward to. The tsunami warning, I
got one better know than not we could be having
a discussion on why we weren't alerted if things turned bad.
Well that's the situation after the Anniversary Day situation in Auckland,

(01:14:44):
and I think they've got alert happy since then. I
worked in a restaurant in the kitchen in the eighties
and we did something with avocado that was I think
it was chopped mussels that were in some sort of
sauce that were put into the hollow of the avocado
that people also loved, and it did seem quite exotic

(01:15:04):
in those days. Avocados. I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
But yes, interesting way to cook and cooking with the
over cut. I don't know if many people cook with them
heat them up, but there we go. All the lines
are free. It's ten past ten minameers, Marcus welcome. Some

(01:15:25):
people think the alerts were to discuss stop people talking
about butter. If that's the case, it's been extremely successful.
And remember behind that was a genius. Just send out
an alert. We'll get them every time. The every time
things are actually mounting against the government. I saw that

(01:15:50):
big situation with turbulence in that plane that Delta Airlines
playing twenty six hospitalized going from Salt Lake City to
England to London. I wonder how long before we were
in crash Helments on planes and neck braces could be
a thing, couldn't it. Probably way for the lines to

(01:16:13):
make money. They could rent it out just asking questions.
That's what you say, isn't it when you're not committed?
Melbourne up falling over Parametta? Good evening bruces is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:16:28):
Good eating. There's a bunch of people on Antony who
have been studying earthquakes. I don't think many of them
are qualified at anything except what they do, but they
are remarkably good at predicting them, and they followed I
used to follow them. I don't know where the hell
they are now. I think it was called Earthquake Watch, okay,

(01:16:48):
And they had a competition to see who could predict
where the earthquakes were going to care and they were
doing all sorts of things and working it out. But
one of the things they noticed was that the soul
of flares tend to loosen up the Earth's mantle and
things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:05):
Do they predict checker, I don't know.

Speaker 21 (01:17:09):
I haven't got the interview at the moment to have
a look, and had it for a couple of days.
I was interested in seeing what they did. But there
were a few other ones that they did. They were
sort of protecting. They had to protict them early, a
couple of days early. But you would see a pattern
emerging along the fault lines. You sort of have a
series of small ones meeting up in the middle, and

(01:17:31):
then you had a big one on me. And I
think the prediction had to be over seven or something
from memory.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
What's the theory? And I don't believe it, But what's
the theory with the sun and earthquakes? It's not I
thought I thought the moon would be more significant because
that increased gravity. The moons, the Sun's not going to
with it.

Speaker 21 (01:17:50):
No, the Sun and its radiation, and it's something to
do with the silica content underneath absorbing it and becoming
more fluid. How that one was work behind that, And
of course we did have those squairs a couple of
weeks back. So that's another another little interesting thing is
before you get an earthquake.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
What do we have a couple of web break flares?

Speaker 21 (01:18:15):
We had that soul of flare and the CME aimed
at the Yes, that's a bunch of radiation coming in. Yeah,
there's a whole lot of stuff in that astrophysics which
are sort of rather interesting to follow that. It's a
bit in bold for me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
What were you going on to say?

Speaker 21 (01:18:37):
Well, one of the other things that has been noticed
is before an earthquake, you quite often where they had
instruments that pick it up. Like the north Ridge one
was one made one. There was a magnetic anomally a
few hours before it hit. Now, the theory behind that
is the year there's a pizza electric and the ez

(01:18:58):
rocks start to squeeze and move, they met a current
and that causes a magnetic anominally, and that's possibly what
the animals pick up up.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
I thought the animals exact those first waves, because there's
a number of different waves. I thought the animals picked
up the waves that came straight through. Yeah, I thought, yeah, okay, they.

Speaker 21 (01:19:16):
Can pick up several days before or sometimes sometimes like
in China, they had the Chucks predicted at once and
didn't predict it the second time. So I don't know
what happened there. But they were watching the Chucks and
I think it was the Chucks and you know, they
went berserk or whatever they do, and they said, yes,
the earth quake coming, and it came. Another time it didn't.

(01:19:36):
Animals didn't do anything and it still came. So what
the hell was going on there, we don't know. So
there's a couple of things on it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Well, can the dogs hear the scraping of the rocks
or something.

Speaker 21 (01:19:48):
No, it's a magnetic effect on your field that they're
picking up. A lot of animals are very sensitive to
magnetic fields. I mean the whale stranding is one of
the theories behind that is because the magnetic poles are
shifting their navigations going out and things like that, you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Know, the pole of a movie.

Speaker 21 (01:20:06):
You at a hell of a rate at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
You don't need the Internet, you know everything, no.

Speaker 21 (01:20:14):
You're interested in, But some pieces like that sort of
has me a bit a bit curious. I'd like to
go to the earth magnetic pole which he can used
to be able to go on and Russian icebreaker I
think it was, and they go here. It is right
here from the middle of the ocean somewhere, but the
southern pole has left the ice now and that's heading up.
They think, well, you know, one of the predictions is

(01:20:36):
somewhere up off the coast of South America and the
North Pole will come down and wind up and Bay
of Bengal. Goodness, but no one knows. You know that
that's sort of the prediction. But they've got nothing to
predict it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
From the shame, you haven't got the internet to work
out whether anyone predicted the earthquake last night, any of
these internet people and come chuck her.

Speaker 21 (01:20:56):
I think it was called earthquake Watch was the site?

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
Okay, I'm going to see you save a lot, Bruce.
Thank you. The people who got barely injured during tuber
and so those who don't we seat belts during the flight,
occupational hazard for cabin crubet foolish choiced by seated passengers.
What would be a good name for the new stadium
in Chrost Church, Pollyanna, And that'll be all to do
with that'll be to do with sponsors. I think avocado

(01:21:24):
stuff with tuna was big. This was big. Also. I
think we might have been serving that too, Jeepess Marcus,
all these hindsight hero winges aren't worth responding to. Hi,
Marcus heard jan call at forty two minutes into last
night's podcast. A massive cheer went out on society today
when she called relieved. And you can put a line
under that, Adam, Yes, it was a special moment.

Speaker 7 (01:21:45):
Adam.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
I agree with you. I don't ask questions. I just
talked to the people when they ring sure the experts
could have worked out They had plenty of time to
established that we might experience unusual dangerous currents, nothing more.
Any actual tidal wave could have been detected. Measure many
points between here and there are necessary over each Peter, Yes,

(01:22:06):
I think our first text should have contained everything. They
didn't have that information at full thirty. Don't send it out.
Wait till eight o'clock, get all the information sent it out.
We knew that even if at their quickest speed it
goes five hundred miles per hour between here and kimcheckka.
How far is it, Dan? How far? If I could
say between, I'll do it on Google Maps directions as

(01:22:34):
the crow flies. I don't think I've got that on
my cam checker. Ten thousand kilometers six thousand miles. So
it was going to take twelve hours at the least
to get here. The quake was at eleven thirty. I'd
say at nine o'clock at night, you send out something,

(01:22:56):
Well eight o'clock at night and get all your information.
Say hey, tomorrow morning, we're going to be in a
live situation. Get one text in a complex text. None
of this kind of and Bob's coming through unbelievable, just
make And the reason it's unbelievable is because civil defense
is only as good as people's trust of it. And

(01:23:18):
when you miss people out or someone gets it fifty times,
were you doing back up messages that aren't that interesting?

Speaker 21 (01:23:26):
People?

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Do you think I'm going to switch the adlerts off?
Poor old Jan, you'd have the phone and the tea Caddy,
and of course we're all thinking, well, Jan, Jan, you know,
no one's phone's going fifty times, must be something else
in your house, but clearly it was your phone. And
then when I turn on the radio and all they're
discussing as people who's got the text fifty times?

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
Weird?

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
That was Jan last night, Jan Jan nineteen past ten, Simon,
ats Marcus.

Speaker 17 (01:23:53):
Good evening, Hey Machael, So I'm just ringing about the
tsunami warning.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
Yes, please, thank you.

Speaker 17 (01:23:59):
So you can never be too careful, you know, the
last big one or will we will back in Japan
and I think had about four or five different countries.
They killed one hundred thousand people. Right now, I'm in Hawaii.
So we got a warning, Quirt.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Really, how many, hey Simon, how many looks did you get?
Just the one.

Speaker 17 (01:24:20):
We kept? Well, actually, we're at one surfing and one
guy came around the beach and said, about three thirty
yesterday afternoon, he said there's been a warning, and he
said last week there was another one on a seven
point five I think it was from the same area,
but within fifteen minutes they dropped the they dropped the warning,

(01:24:43):
and so this time and yesterday afternoon of us three,
they gave us one and they said this was an
eighth and a bit and it's a bit more severe,
but they're going to let us know as soon as
they know. So it's fifteen minutes to pass for him
of his note. And now it passed, they still had
me just know, which meant they were thinking about it.
And this was a week bit more serious. And then

(01:25:04):
half an hour later they closed the beach and then
they evacuated all the towns around where we are and
anywhere close by, so everybody had to hit for the hills.
So but you know, I'm I'm a YouTuber, so I've
been watching I've watch un Armies at home just and
beneath you know, on mantine it and you just got
to watch one. And you don't take them for granted.

(01:25:26):
So you're saying you want twelve hours warning, Well I mean,
I mean, I mean more than you don't want twelve
hours warning, you want three hours warning. But really the
more warning the better because you know that it's just
crazy what they're doing. When they killed hundreds of thousands
of people, and that's one.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
I don't think the Fukashima one killed hundreds of thousands.
I think you might be thinking of the band Art
show one.

Speaker 17 (01:25:48):
Whichever one it was, bleak you, I mean, so that's
what they're worried.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
But you see you said the Fukushima one. I mean
the Fukushima one. What it did is it damaged a
new killer power center. But it was the band artaw.

Speaker 17 (01:25:58):
One met in the name of it where it was?
I thought the one that japaned. I think they had
multiple countries hip the same or the same tsunami hit
multiple countries, didn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
The real, the real dangerous one was the Bandit was
the one that was the Boxing Day Teun Army, which
was out of Indonesia, and that killed that killed hundreds
of thousands of people. That was devastating.

Speaker 17 (01:26:19):
So it told you what they can do. That's my point.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
Oh yeah, look, no doubt, no one, No one doubts
what they can do.

Speaker 17 (01:26:26):
But this was a long, long morning in advance the better.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
Yeah, but then we got another one at six thirty
this morning. Did you get one this morning in Hawaii?

Speaker 23 (01:26:36):
Uh?

Speaker 17 (01:26:36):
Yeah, Well beach was closed this morning still.

Speaker 2 (01:26:39):
And how they closed? How they closed the beach?

Speaker 4 (01:26:42):
Please?

Speaker 17 (01:26:44):
So radio announce saying, so the beach parks are all
closed off.

Speaker 10 (01:26:49):
So just to be.

Speaker 2 (01:26:49):
Clear, did you get three texts.

Speaker 17 (01:26:53):
Last night? We were getting them probably every.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Half houra okay and with a siren noise that came
out of it as well.

Speaker 17 (01:27:03):
Yeah all that. Yeah, ok, that's also starting on the land.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
I think they've got rid of the sirens on the
land in New Zealand because they were because the cell
phones replaced that they're getting vendoralized.

Speaker 17 (01:27:17):
Yeah, so we've both over here that. Yeah, it was good.
It was good that they're sort of proactive, just in case.
I thought after seeing those YouTube ones and people when
watch them, you get head. We look at them because
the water creeps in at two inches deep.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
So I think everyone's seen that. I think everyone's seen
the videos. I think I don't think people are. I
think that one was amazing those casts. When you say
you're a YouTuber, what does that mean?

Speaker 17 (01:27:45):
Well, I mean fucking through just looking at those things,
you know, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
You mean you watch when you say you're YouTuber, you
watch YouTube.

Speaker 17 (01:27:53):
I fluck through in between TV programs just because you can,
you know, on the TV, not on the computer. And yeah,
so you look at once scenai and of course you
know they all come up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Okay, nice to hear from you. So I wonder what
a YouTuber was. That's someone that watches you, joth I
thought it was something that anyway, who knows Marcus just
to enter the tsunami conversation conversation people saying it's at
the other end of the world. What they don't know
is that they can travel at five hundred miles per hour.
The Kural Islands are six hundred and two thousand miles
away and not much in between them and us. It's
been interesting watching the fairest the various countries affected tidal

(01:28:28):
flow since the earthquake. Chairs Donner. Yes, it wouldn't been
so far away, even at the quickest. It was twelve
hours away before anything happened. We knew that quite soon,
so it's a long time to come up with the
warnings and how to run it. I'm not sure they
got it right. I think they're not right. They wouldn't
have been the need for the one the next morning.
I think that's what people thought was bad and to

(01:28:49):
the system didn't work. Some people got fifty warnings and
a lot of people that were in the area didn't
get any. But they'll get it better but the trouble
is that already some people have switched the elerts off.
But we are well, I'm not going to bother with
that because people are instant experts and oh, I'm not
gonna bother that nothing happened. But that's yeah, that's what

(01:29:10):
disaster warnings like. Often nothing bad does happen. We want
the systems all in place for when the Pusica Trench
goes or the Kumidex go and if they got five
hundred miles per hour and the Pusica Trench goes, which

(01:29:33):
would be fifty miles probably less than that, four five,
six minutes, that's when you want the alert. And that's
when the one you've got to get into your car
or walk up to a hill. And they're the discussions
people need to be having on the back of this
that that's what's happened. But yeah, if it goes off klist,

(01:29:56):
we won't get long at all. Let's you long and
strong get gone. And they're still going on with that,
that sort of thing. Eloise up twenty four places. Oh
you always got a good song with Eloise. Aloise. It's
Scouts International Scarf Day tomorrow that current and former Scouts
will there will wear their Scout Scout scarf to school
or work to celebrate Scouts worldwide. Oh my kids are

(01:30:17):
Sea Scouts. I don't know that. And Vanessa's a Sea
Scout leader. Cheepers, they should be wearing their scarf. I'm
not going to read the text about your granny's parrot,

(01:30:38):
but I do like it. Anyway, do come through if
you want to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome, Oh
eight hundred and eighties eat a HITDL midnight tonight if
you want to talk. Marcus went to the Boxing Day
Tsunami Memorial Museum and Carl Luk Thailand and noticed they
never had any flag displayed. I mention it to them
and they showed me the Aussie flag. She's got the

(01:30:59):
laser Kiwi. They will get a badge if they wear
their scarf. Oh text them now, h Katie, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 23 (01:31:09):
Oh yeah, Marcus, I felt only I only felt I
had to ring you to let you know that. The
first NPC game was on tonight and way Katto beat
Auckland in a very exciting game.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
Seemed really exciting.

Speaker 23 (01:31:27):
Yes, well, Auckland were winning right up to the last
few minutes and then why Katta got a brilliant try.
But I just always like to let you know in
case you don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
No, I was giving I was giving updates on there,
but you would have been watching it, Katie. Were any
All Blacks playing?

Speaker 23 (01:31:44):
Oh, they're not playing until about September, are they?

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
No, I thought some of the All Blacks were going
back into the NPC to play to just get themselves matched.

Speaker 23 (01:31:52):
Yes, well, well some of the I think they are.
Some of them playing until until they go away.

Speaker 2 (01:31:59):
So with some of them, some of them, some of
them featured tonight.

Speaker 23 (01:32:03):
No, I didn't see many of them, but crew and
was playing.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Okay, God liked him.

Speaker 23 (01:32:10):
Yeah, well anyway, White White Caster played very well. So
that's the first. The next game I think is on Sunday, Saturday.

Speaker 4 (01:32:19):
Yeah, I'm going to to you, just like to keep you.

Speaker 23 (01:32:23):
Up to date.

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
Thank you, goodness, beg your pardon. Antonina Brown played Aaron
Crudon have played. I thought he'd be bit old now
I didn't know what was he playing. Thirty six good
on him. He's the local Derby Otago South and I

(01:32:46):
think on Saturday full thirty because we've got the exchange
student I guess we'll be taking him along to that.
I think they're supposed to sample kind of Kiwi things.
Oh yeah, so I think they about ten thousand that match.

(01:33:08):
It's quite a big deal. They've kind of really hyped
it up. Although they can't go on the stand because
it leaks, but I think we go on the other side.
By the way, also to the media, have ourked civil
defense if they had the ability to issue are quite alerted?
Appears they did not. I thought all that information, the
sixty in the morning alert could have been kept in

(01:33:29):
the one beforehand, just say hey, this is going to
last for about twenty four hours or something like that.
It's all about communications, and I think that would have
been better. Don't think what else is on people's mind tonight.
Anyone's seen the Lethal anyone seen Naked Gunner? Has that
started yet? I saw the premier year for it.

Speaker 17 (01:33:51):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
I saw the trailer for it. Look terrible, but the
reviews are kind of okay, and I what to say
about that anyway? Yeah, Eden, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Oh Hien. Well that's a good that's a good start.
The delay and the bang of your phone, the beat,
that's brilliant. Yeah, how are you. What's happening?

Speaker 3 (01:34:16):
Hi, I'm good, God, well.

Speaker 6 (01:34:18):
Welcome, thank you.

Speaker 14 (01:34:22):
It's cool to be on here. I heard you discussing earlier.
Someone mentioned about how they don't know why like when
you go up in an airplane and why you can't
have your phone on why you need to have airplane
mode because that misses what the So the pilots have
those transmitters that they used to communicate with the people
at the airport. Okay, that makes sense, and so when

(01:34:47):
you have your phone on, it missus with those like
read those connections.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Okay, and you you know that on good authority. Yeah, okay,
Now I understand that it sounds like you don't know
what you're talking about.

Speaker 14 (01:34:59):
Okay, but work at the airport side. Yeah, I know
that war fact.

Speaker 2 (01:35:07):
Okay. I appreciate that Eden thinks.

Speaker 14 (01:35:10):
Same thing though that most people would think about, because
you know, people would just go about their ways, not
really bothering with airport oh, airplay mode.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
Yeah, and I've quite often gone on to look at
text when I'm arriving in but yeah, but I guess
I'm not. I guess it's different to talk to just
have your phone on I guess it would just interfere
if you're talking on today, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:35:30):
Yeah, definitely. Well, I mean it makes sense if you're
landing and just looking it on. It's not really a
big deal.

Speaker 4 (01:35:35):
Is it.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
Okay, So it's a talking interferes with their ground? So
how do they communicate with the ground? What's it on?

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
Is it on?

Speaker 2 (01:35:42):
I don't know what sort of system they would be
communicating with the ground on.

Speaker 14 (01:35:46):
Yeah, I'm not too sure. I guess it'd be a
bit different. I'm down on the ground as opposed to flying.

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
Yeah, okay, think if someone will know what the way
they communicate, Thanks Eden. The mobile phone has a chance
of interfering with the ILS guidance system for landing. There's
never been an instance where this is proven though. The
other thing I was interested with why we didn't ever
use cell phones at gas stations. That seemed like a
bit of an overreach, kind of good downtime to have

(01:36:15):
a phone call it the guessie as you waiting for
the VEREF slow pumps to fill up. So yeah, it's
radio apparently to combs to the ground based, So I
don't know how that would interfere with cell phones? Should
use WhatsApp. It's so clear that's what I'd be doing.
Marcus driving to walk at last night, got two devices
in the truck. First starve ice winned off by Huntley

(01:36:36):
at nine twenty four. My phone went off at dreary
ten pm. Same network. I'm get in touch Marcus. Only
like ever cat on a green salad or in sushi
with seven and maybe your dice of pineapple. Ever a
female of relative made a potato salad with ever carry
lots of parsi and spring onions, not forgetting a mandatory

(01:36:59):
hard boiled egg in the mix. It went down a
treat with a ham steak. Question, where did the idea
come to have a grilled pineapple ring on a ham steak? Thanks?
I don't know what's about that, but I like it.
Pineapples delicious. Cook pineapple is even more delicious. Don't know why.

(01:37:21):
Something about it's quite special. I don't get drawing me
on the pizza. I don't kind of find that interesting.
There's people the battle. Yes, I know about pizzas. Just
to eat what you want. There will be my take
on that.

Speaker 10 (01:37:35):
Mind.

Speaker 2 (01:37:35):
I probably do come across as judgmental sometimes. So we're
talking about the tsunami alerts about avocados as Avocado Day,
anything else you want to mention. And I also got
the Warriors on tomorrow night during the show. Don't seem
to have any Friday night matches. It's mainly seeming to
be Saturday Sunday night matches, so or Sunday afternoon. But
tomorrow night we'll have the Warriors. I'll be giving you

(01:37:56):
updates on that. Out of the I saw eight Rugby
League predictors in Australia. Seven of them predicts the Dolphins
to win this tomorrow. So yeah, that's going to be
tough for the people of well for the worries, and
the worries support us it on tomorrow anyway, you Wizley,

(01:38:18):
this is Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:38:21):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 11 (01:38:22):
I'm wanting to talk about how the civil defense system
was operating with the recent activities that have occurred. Yes,
obviously there have been some glitches in the system where
people have received alerts at different times or repeatedly, But
obviously some of us are still actively under tsunami advisory,

(01:38:46):
so obously it's still important that we do receive these
alerts until they lift the advisory. So it's important that
we know what's happening, but what is the risk. Well,
the problem is we do have rebounding a tsunami activity

(01:39:09):
bouncing off the coast of South America, combined that with
heavy swells due to a storm civic system having just
passed over the country, and combining that with also the
local high tides as well. So there's a number of
factors that are complicating the situation that making it very

(01:39:31):
hard to clarify as to whether or not the tsunami
threat has passed. But also, as someone who has accessed
the scientific data as part of my hobby, because this
sort of stuff is the interest of mine, seeing what
the scientific data is telling me also indicates that why

(01:39:56):
officials haven't listed the advisories in some parts of the country.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
How big of the suit you've been Weasley.

Speaker 11 (01:40:07):
Anywhere from zero point eighty one centimeters to just below
and just below a meter further off the coast. But
because of the storm conditions off the coast as well
and high tides on the coast, it is complicating the situation.

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Yeah, have you been down to the coast today? Is
it abandoned? Because I just think most people see as
a day like normal.

Speaker 3 (01:40:41):
For most of us.

Speaker 11 (01:40:42):
The day has been like normal, but I have not
been down to the coast because I've been following the
advice of the warnings, which is a smart thing to do.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
I haven't heard of any damage or an instance right
around the country. It's not like boats have been damaged
at the mooring or anything. From what I can hear.

Speaker 11 (01:41:00):
It's concerning that anyone that does enter the water may
be sucked under because these on these currents can produce
unpredictable rip currents that cannot be easily seen. It's kind
of like your local rip current at the local beach,
but just made a lot stronger and unpredictable. Whereas on

(01:41:26):
normal circumstances, the rip current at your local beach can
be somewhat predictable, but in the situation we are in
right now, those rip currents can be made to be
extremely unpredictable. So that's why the advice remains in place
until at least eight am in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:41:45):
Would you think we'll get another alert in the middle
of the night.

Speaker 11 (01:41:50):
Not sure if another alert will be issued, but obviously
we will get an update just as the work day
starts tomorrow morning. But I suspect that the worst of
the activity may have passed by now, okay, given that
the earthquake swarm off the coast of Russia is continuing,

(01:42:11):
at risk of another tsunami still remains.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Thank you for talking us through that, Wensdy. Nice to
hear from you. Fourteen past eleven I have mentioned how
are you going with your Smeg crockery. It's only your
last month for that end at the end of August.
You want to get in before they run out of
all the crockery. I don't know they started running out already.
Normally I give the alert because people bring up talk

(01:42:36):
back about that, so that's something I don't know. They
run out of that stuff at that tat at will worth,
those plastic disks, because that doesn't seem much fun at all.
Good evening. This is this is Marcus Mark.

Speaker 6 (01:42:48):
Welcome, Oh Marcus, it's all about the Smeg. Believe me,
it is all about this.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
It's not cutlery. It's crockery this time, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:42:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:42:58):
It is, yeah it since look it's nice cookware. It
certainly is. It's like it's certainly good. Didn't know it's
it's better than you could buy normally for that price.
That's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
Have you managed to cash on your chipshet? Have you
managed to get it before it all runs out?

Speaker 6 (01:43:18):
I've got the large but they call the large baker,
which is the large casserole dish or roasting dish, whatever
you want to call it. And that is twenty eight
stickers or fifty five stickers. You've got it for free
or twenty eight and twenty bucks. Twenty eight and twenty bucks.
I was like, yeah, that'll do me, thank you very much.
And then I slowly I got the it got the

(01:43:41):
hooks into me. I wasn't expecting it to happen. I
was like on my arm for this at all?

Speaker 3 (01:43:47):
Were you?

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
Were you buying more expensive stuff just to get more stickers?

Speaker 11 (01:43:52):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:43:52):
No, I found there was this bonus sticker thing. And
you know you're down, I'll tell you. They was buying
bottles of one bottle of Coca cola and with a
bog bottle of Coca cola and it's a millennium and
that was a bonus sticker.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:44:08):
And there was three bags yeah, yeah, I thought that
was a bargain.

Speaker 6 (01:44:14):
Three bags of Pascal lollies was a bonus sticker. Then
there was nacho chips. If you got two bags of
those for five beg was a bonus sticker. A couple
of bags of chip. There was a beg of chips
that was three fifty. It was but the one that
I had my wrong glass.

Speaker 10 (01:44:31):
Here we go.

Speaker 6 (01:44:31):
I had my wrong pair of glasses on and my
drop and so I got to get up close to
things and I saw death the isle at the end
of it there was shampooed and there's one bit and
I thought, no, no, don't need shampooed. And I've seen
the distance. Five dollars forty nine. Okay, yeah, no that's reasonable.
You know what what's that walk walk walk? Lady said

(01:44:54):
it here? Oh no, I don't need this into the
next style looking for the next bonus sticker. It's been
hilarious in many respects, and I've seen some indirections to
at the chick out catter with people go how many
I've got home? And then there's seventy people.

Speaker 2 (01:45:11):
Give people other people giving you stickers, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
They do.

Speaker 6 (01:45:15):
It's hilarious when they find out that you're you're into it.
They're like a lady gave me fourteen stickers the hour. Wow,
oh it was you know, let's what's that two hundred
and eighty dollars worth of shopping?

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
So you've got the big pleasure, is that right?

Speaker 6 (01:45:31):
I've got the big baker that does think it's called
the large baker.

Speaker 2 (01:45:36):
That go in the oven.

Speaker 6 (01:45:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the thirty seven point five by
twenty two centimeters yep. And then there's a smaller version
of that which I could get.

Speaker 2 (01:45:48):
Sod where did you cash? When did you catch the baker?

Speaker 6 (01:45:52):
I've got the baker about three three, maybe four weeks ago, oh,
quite early, and I've now got we're now look what's
on the ground here in the white kadow is the brazier?

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
Yeah, crazier?

Speaker 10 (01:46:06):
You want that?

Speaker 4 (01:46:07):
What is that?

Speaker 6 (01:46:07):
By the way, Now it's a non stick iron cast iron.
I guess you caught it with a lead that you
can put in the oven once you've braised your meat
like a Gordon Ramsey sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
You should mark because imagine we could have got your
hundreds of stickers from our listeners. You could have got
the full set because it is such an enthusiast. We're
the first guy called no that's rung with the right spirit.
You know it's crazy, but you're into it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:39):
No, it's hilarious.

Speaker 7 (01:46:41):
I've got it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:42):
Haven't been like this since about fifteen years ago when
Countdown did the knives.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
Oh well, no I'm not.

Speaker 6 (01:46:50):
I'm not, definitely not the it was big block and
it had six.

Speaker 2 (01:46:56):
Remember that, well, yes it was. That was before countdown
move to just giving away total tet.

Speaker 6 (01:47:01):
Oh before they just I don't know what they're trying
to give away, but actually had some meat to it,
like you could use this for a decade.

Speaker 2 (01:47:14):
I've still got How the stickers have you got now?

Speaker 6 (01:47:17):

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
And how do you need for your second? Second?

Speaker 6 (01:47:20):

Then I want to get the little mini coquettes. They're
called like a Ramikan with a leg.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Remican. Wow, listen to you back in the day, Remican
sounds like a German heavy metal band.

Speaker 6 (01:47:44):
But anyway, it myself.

Speaker 2 (01:47:48):
Because you know they're going to run out soon, don't you.

Speaker 6 (01:47:51):
Oh, well, this is the thing. There's four new worlds
within the Yekt. I've circled them all. None of them
have the brazier.

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
Currently, there's probably about two brass in the country.

Speaker 6 (01:48:04):
They might there might well be this. So we've got
Roja Tuna, Melville Hillcrest in Hamilton and the Cambridge New
World unless you want to go through the afield of
Mathemata or.

Speaker 20 (01:48:19):
And I've rung them all.

Speaker 9 (01:48:21):

Speaker 2 (01:48:37):
Okay, we'll keep How far are you prepared to travel
for the brazier?

Speaker 6 (01:48:43):
I reckon, I'm a South Auckland kid. Back back to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:48:48):
Okay, so your travel one hundred cage you come up
to you come up to Papakudo or something like that
for it.

Speaker 6 (01:48:52):
Okay, that's my yep, yep, yep, you're talking my people,
of those my big I was born there. Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:48:58):
Absolutely, you keep listening. Well, see what we can find out.
But Mark, don't hesitate to text or call. We're all
on your side with your brazier. Simon Marcus, Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:49:07):
Act I'll bring out about white baby once I never
got back to her. Also another thing for smiths All
the best way that one day you're talking about it
is actually baking it. But anyway, going back to the smith,
I've got some ideas. So if you need to take us,
you want, run the car parks that blow around. You
picked them up and you end up with quite a

(01:49:28):
lot for free. And now I'm on my eighth book,
so which totals about eight four hundred dollars. I'm sure
that every book's worth eleven hundred dollars. Now we've got
five of these big dushes now in two of the
big Castle. You know what did he call them? The pens? Thing?
He's right, are pretty cool which case gave my daughter

(01:49:50):
one told it cost me a fortune. Boy, she gotten
onto that very good. But it was a great birthday present,
lasted probably longer than me. And anyway to sort of that,
you know that? So what run the car parks?

Speaker 17 (01:50:01):
Everybody?

Speaker 2 (01:50:02):
Simon's on, Simon? What did you start the call by saying?

Speaker 3 (01:50:06):
I will say I told you about white baiting once
upon a time.

Speaker 2 (01:50:10):
Okay, thank you for reminding.

Speaker 3 (01:50:11):
Me back to you. And then also one day you
were talking about schnitzel and the best way to do
that because I wanted to ring you and the best
way to do it is actually bake it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:21):
Are you on the coast, Simon, we're about to you.

Speaker 3 (01:50:23):
Yes, so we're on the south coast of Wellington, Marcus. Yeah,
and I listened to you every night and then sometimes
Roman and he's pretty talent.

Speaker 2 (01:50:33):
He's got Simon. So where is this? Where is this
car park? You walk around?

Speaker 3 (01:50:39):
Okay, so this is the Island Bay car Park. So
what I do was literally basically walk around me every
morning after a windy day, and I find the stickers
that people have lost because they're so tiny. And so
now I've filled up nearly I basically filled up nearly
eight box.

Speaker 2 (01:50:55):
How how many stick is? What have you found?

Speaker 3 (01:50:59):
Well, look I found nine the other day and four
that somebody left on the lotto desk as well, so
you know. In also you tell you people you mate
who don't collect them, so they clicked them for you,
and then you get them for free, and it's quite
exciting and so like that goes before. It's very adictive

(01:51:20):
and I'm addicted to it. And now I've got so
many great dishes. Now we're trying out all her old
dishes and now we've got a big speed collection, even
though I ain't covered just for the snags.

Speaker 2 (01:51:31):
Wow the odd smegs?

Speaker 6 (01:51:33):
Yeah, will you will?

Speaker 23 (01:51:35):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
Will you hang around the car park and ask people
for their stickers?

Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
No, not that bad. But I did think about in
the busker you no, I thought, I say to the
busco to put a sign collect them from minta.

Speaker 2 (01:51:48):
That's a great mad Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51:50):
Yeah, I'm going ten back and I'll get a fair extra.
And they have a few more smeeds.

Speaker 2 (01:51:54):
In the cupboard you get Are you going to go
for the brazier?

Speaker 3 (01:51:58):
I've got two of those as well. I didn't fork
out the dollars. I gave one to my daughter for
a bafta, and I told her it's going to probably
last longer than meat because made of cast iron, and
she will probably treat it forever.

Speaker 2 (01:52:13):
Goodness. Where do you get your wipe? Where do you
get your white bait?

Speaker 3 (01:52:19):
So I did ring about this one day about up
in Manechel at the stream or under Lake Sirie. So
now that's coming up. So we've got to September the pointings,
I think now, because the ringing about if we catch
some and then.

Speaker 2 (01:52:34):
I think I think it normally down south the first
of August would be the opening of white baiting. But
They've moved it to September, which people aren't happy about.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
They kind of wrapped us off white two weeks either
side of the season up up in the northod over
COVID when we re taking notice. Yeah yeah, Also they
stopped knitting all the way from the top of the
North Wind right down to Marla Point which is in
Wellington for using white nets to catch first, So you

(01:53:05):
can't do that now because of the hippos dolphins which
don't even come to Wellings.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
I think days or first, What are you saving your
stickers for now?

Speaker 3 (01:53:18):
So now I'm just going through our six Uh both
the lad's ten and we've got two babies, so I'm
pretty sure that this promotion is the inn vulgus. So
I'm hoping to ahead at least nine and ten by
the time that happens by windy days and stickers are
flying in the car back.

Speaker 2 (01:53:38):
Who does the cooking in your house?

Speaker 3 (01:53:41):
My part or Anna? And so we've already done now
Marcus is the baconing pie, but you can also caught
beautiful scarlet mor nays crayfish more days. Anything more days
is good at it definitely good for bacanan pie. We
had one the other day and it's beautiful. Yeah, a
dove in eggs. Yeah, vacum whatever you do. I don't
