Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be welcome, you saidy, good evening. This is the
Friday free for all Marcus Hetchel twelve o'clock on a
sport on tonight, South and Manu two Monea or two
lead Darlftimes just finished twenty two zero. That's the NPC
that's at Rugby Stadium, Rugby Park. I think it's called
twenty two zero. So South and got a bit of
catching up there on the second half. The crowd might

(00:32):
bring them home. Then again they might not. The Warriors
have just darted. They play Saint George the Dragon, Saint
George Lawarre. It's no score there. That's just five minutes
gone in that game. We've got a night tonight people. Godness,
it's a Friday free for all. Loose like a goose,
whatever you want really on a Friday. A couple of
things from me, A couple of things I've achieved today.

(00:53):
Not the only things I've achieved they, but a couple
of things I thought was interesting. I've discovered where the
I've got an iPhone. I've discovered where the degree symbol is. Yeah,
so I was trying to tell something that was ten
degrees in the morning. So you push the zero and
you hold the zero down and then a tiny little
zero comes out. That's a degree one. Now how do
I knowing that? No, that's not something going to finish

(01:14):
your kid. It's amazing what kids finds are there we go.
That's my discovery on the key. I thought, where's the
degree symbol? And I google it and there it comes.
There's a lesson. You push it zero down and I
hold it down, little circle comes up. So my weather
texts now look a lot to smart. The other thing
that happened to me a supermarket story for me. Went

(01:34):
to the supermarket park kind of the rush, got out
of the car and then realized my keys were in
the cars. So I went back into the car to
get my keys because one of those stupid cars you
can't lock without the keys. And then as I came
out from around the back of my car, I realized
there was a woman next to me squeezing beside her
car between her car and my car to get into
her car. I realized I realized I'd parked the car

(01:56):
incredibly badly, and I said to sorry, terrible park on movie.
I don't worry is by the word I said it
was shocking, and went and reparked and felt very good
about that because once my n'm I just want to
sculpt a well, oh that's not going to do it.
It's my park. I want to own it. So yes,
I've developed a habit of parking on an angle, like

(02:18):
rushing in there and then putting it in at the
angle and leave a terrible thing to do. So I've
made parking a means, So I felt very good about
that anyway. And on the skip of things, they're not
huge topics. It's just what going on for me. Top
of here. The number is eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine nine two text. I don't think we'll get
a whole night about interesting things you discovered on your keyboard.
But I wish someone had told me this years ago,

(02:40):
that little degree symbol, because you think that would be
up there. There's a lot of symbols you don't really
need on the keypad. I don't know what they are
just looking at it now. Actually effectually, what would be
the least like the pound symbol we don't need and
the YenS well I don't know about that anyway. Do
get in touch, hit or tweve o'clock. By the way too,
here's something who gets annoyed by? No, I'm not going

(03:02):
to put it that way. I'm not going to say
who gets an because that starts to think on a
bad vibe, right, But what's happening at hospital cafes? If
you go to a cafe and a hospital, they're always
quite fun. The cafes in the hospital because you can
always see what people are. Are they someone that's just
been discharged? Are they the medical post, are they the doctor?
Always fun to work out what's going on, where are

(03:24):
they visiting family? It's a bit like an airport cafe
you can work out. You can't work out who's going
or who's staying, or whose family who's helping them. But anyway,
in hospital cafes, and now here's what's happening in hospital cafes.
No more marshmallows. There'll be no more marshmallows, and scones

(03:44):
might go soon too, and thick icingers out and cream
portions are limited to a tablespoon. I saw that about
the marshmallows. I thought that was fantastic. I'll tell you
one of the things that helped me made me give
up coffee, as every time you go for a coffee
and people there was a tree there for a while
that people you buy coffee and they'd put something on
the damn side. It would be either a jeff or

(04:06):
a pineapple lump, or a marshmallow or a chocolate fish,
all of them terrible. And what would happen is you
get back to have your coffee in the and the
chocolate fish would melt against the hot side of the
cup and stain your shirt. So I'm a great fan
of no Marshman. But anyway, that's what's going. By the way,
hospital vending machines will change as well, So I don't

(04:28):
know what they won't vend out, but there's not gonna
be much in the vending machine, is there? Because I imagine
most stuff in the vending machine is toxic. This won't
apply to impatient meals, meals on wheels, or food and
drink bought by staff and visitors. But yes, the vending
machine's going to change. What would be in the vending
machine that's healthy pretty well nothing. The nuts are salted

(04:50):
and fried. Kinn't think of anything. Get in touch, Marcus
or twelve oh eight hundred and eighty tdy nine nine text.
By the way, if we want to start the whole
ball rolling time, I feel I'll be doing a lot
of talking tonight because there's lot of sport on. I've
got no problem with that, but there will be topics
you'll want to talk about. I did I strike a
nerve with people with Jeffers and chocolate fish and bineapple lumps.

(05:10):
I think I probably did get in touch Marcus till
the end. No screw in the Warriors, but they're not
looking good. They've made a cup of silly airas already,
which I'm really worried about because it's a home match
for them. They are at ericson and the tab have
got them on like like odds to win like a
dollar fifty. So I'm nervous watching. I'm not even watching that.

(05:31):
I'll turn off soon. Got my tan cart of waters.
I don't have to leave the seat anyway. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty tatty and nine two nine two detect.
You might be out there doing something interesting tonight. What
would that be? You might be driving off to night classes,
you might be doing your uber run. Let me know
what's going on there. Also people by the way. Not

(05:51):
looking good for Takapuna golf course. That's going to become
a giant sponge. Yeah, so they're gonna go ahead. It's
gonna be cut down to nine holes. The community begged, right,
begged for it to be saved. But you know, people
died in that flood, didn't they and Milford and places
like that, and that's where they need the water to go.

(06:13):
And one of these hundred year events had happened all
the time, so that's what's happening. That's happening to the
golf course, so people are furious about it. It was
the Anniversary Day floods in twenty twenty three that had
this huge impact and Wido was one of the worst
hit areas that's around Takapuna. So it's a project co
funded by the government, so preventing something like that happening again.

(06:36):
So yeah, always quite I've never played there. Every on
who played two games in my life. I always thought
it was quite enjoyable driving along past the golf course.
But that's no longer a thing. That's gone, and I
guess that'll happen as the climate changes. As is probably
the only green areas we've got as soaking places will
be the golf courses. So something worth considering. Anyway, fourteen
past eight, do get in touch if through his breaking news,

(06:57):
I'll let you know what that breaking users. So I'll
do my dam just to get stuff up to scratch
for you people. What times Trumpoe meeting tomorrow night our time?
By the way, the dragons have just scored there. That
was easy within six minutes. I'll turn it off soon.
So your Trumpoe meets putin tomorrow morning? Yeah, sorry, tomorrow

(07:23):
evening is when that's going to happen, to what I
said anyway, So that's I don't look, I can't imagine
that's going to be. Well, how would we know he's
anything if unpredictable or is he predictably unpredictable? Anyway, as
I say, get in touch, you've got to talk on
any tonight. The number is eight hundred and eighty detext.
Hopefully we'll speak to some of the people after the

(07:44):
leaving the Warriors match at ten o'clock because that's with
our bread basket. But this could be a bad loss.
I think actually if we lose this, we could go
down to seventh or eighth. Anyway, if you want to
start the whole discussion. We're looking looking very much looking
forward to what you've got to say tonight. I've started
off with funny things you've discovered on the keyboards and

(08:06):
the annoyance of coffee served with kind of stuff you
even't asked for, like marshmallows or Jeffers or pineapple lumps
or many little chocolate fish. One hundred and thirty one
days till Christmas and one hundred and thirty eight days
till twenty twenty six. Thank you for that. It's good
to know. I don't know if there's anything special about
today apart from the fact that it is lemon meringue

(08:29):
pie Day and Hawaiian Shirt Day. Happy to say I've
never owned a Hawaiian shirt. Everyone I've always seen in
a Hawaiian shirt always looks a little bit midlife crisisy
to me. But that's me. I've just everready worked out
the point of them. I think it's like for laughs.
Is it that people wear them? Don't know? I can't

(08:51):
answer anyway, So that's why I can tell you about. Also,
what's happening local body elections. The lists are out. Voting
commences Tuesday ninth September. You want to get yourself on
the list. No, you don't want to get something. You
want to get yourself on the roll. If you still
can and you want to vote, that's important. The Inter
Island Fairy will make its final sailing on Monday. This

(09:15):
is after twenty six years of service. Putin and Trump
set to meet tomorrow in Alaska, and the All Blacks
matches against Argentina on Sunday Live commentary on ZB and
iHeart it's going to be at nine to ten in
the morning. And the Women's Rugby World Couple take place

(09:39):
in England between the twenty second of August and twenty
seventh of September. And good to see that Ruby two
is going across. There is a commentator because she's got
a lot to say and she says it. Well, that's
exciting to By the way, Luke Little, anyone see him around.
He'll be in Auckland. Is Roy Hamilton. I think it's
Auckland for the darts, so you might have seen him also,

(09:59):
So there we go. That's why I can tell you
that's my rant for this morning. It's probably best that
the Warriors us the playoffs. That will save a lot
of heartache. Yes, it's very nerve wrecking team, isn't it.
It's such a roller coaster watching them. Imagine what it
must be like being a family member, or actually been
a team member themselves. The nervouses all get out, or

(10:20):
you would be eight eighteen, welcome to the show, here
till twelve. What else they have to say? Marshmallows, keyboards,
anything else you want to come through it on tonight too,
would be good to hear. I'm not entirely sure what
the topics will be. We've had a good week this week.
I don't think what the topics were. We did pumpkins,

(10:41):
then we did pubs, then we did left handedness, and
then last night it was pets. So we'll give the
show time to breathe tonight. It will be quite organic.
We'll see what'll we end up. I've got no idea.
Well I can tell is. I am totally up for it.
I thought there'd be more people and suddenly found something
hidden on their keyboards that they'd found that they never

(11:02):
used before. I'm loving the degree symbol. I'm texting a
hold of people conversations that involve the temperature in it. Now,
that's fun. Zero four Warriors, Sir George South and zero
one two twenty two. That is the situation there in
ooh at Rugby Park and seven o'clock in the morning

(11:27):
that Putin and Trump meet nineteen past eight eight hundred
and eighty eighteen eighty nine nine to de text get
touch hettel twelve, Bruce, it's Marcus. Welcome and good evening.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh yeah, gooday am I the first caller.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, lucky, lucky you.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, So I just thought it's not really
a topic that you've brought up. But yeah, there are
the old rates have come out and Hastings and Hawk Spain,
and in our house, our house is value a nine
hundred thousand dollars at the top rate. We couldn't sell

(12:08):
it for probably more than five hundred and thirty. Yeah,
but they're our rates are coming out on the value
of nine hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, it just seems absolutely ridiculous. So we had to
call up. We had to get a rates rebate, so
we just can't pay them, yeah, at the amount that
they're in. So if you can't sell your house for
a couple of hundred thousand dollars less than what your
property is valued. Why are they charging you their rates

(12:42):
at what they're you know, calculating it. It It just
doesn't seem for you, you know, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
And you had a big rate increased last year as well,
didn't you. You had sixteen percent last year.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I think everywhere, you know, everything's going.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Up, you know, well most of a lot of it.
I mean, you've got special conditions there because of cyclone war,
because of the floods, there was an increasing you know.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, you know, I mean it's fair enough, you know,
But the thing is, as are we could never dream
of getting nine hundred thousand dollars for our house. The
house next door has probably got twice the landers ours.
You know, it's another four bedroom home. What are they

(13:26):
going to rate them at one point two million?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
So what what's funds?

Speaker 5 (13:32):
So what are you?

Speaker 2 (13:33):
What are your options?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Well, we've got to manage to get like a rates rebate,
which doesn't come until next year, I think.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
So, but it's just we literally can't pay them, you know,
we said, well we can't, we can't pay it. We've
got four kids at home, and yeah, it just doesn't
seem it doesn't seem fear like, if our house is
that nine hundred thousand, and our house is it's on
a small reasonable, small section, nothing flash. And if that's

(14:10):
at nine hundred thousand, you could imagine some of the
nicer houses, what are they being greater at. Yeah, we're
pretty much in ten years time a million. It's going
to be a million dollars for a three beer droom Homers.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
It's crazy and the houses aren't worth that much. But
what's happening is the rates are still going to go
up because all our water, all our water infrastructure, the
storm water, the drinking water, and the sewerage, it's all
WAFA inadequate. That's why they trade have three waters, that
the governm would take over that and they'd borrow money
long term, with long term planning. People got kicked up
on that, kicked up off on that because they thought

(14:48):
it was it got politicized and as a result, the
councils are now having to actually step back in and
a lot of the rates are about is about three waters,
and it was what the government tried to fix and
people didn't want it, they voted against it, and now
they get and I'm not saying that's you, but that's
one of the reasons that rates have gone. It's all
that mad for those pipes. But that's heartbreaking your situation.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I've worked around the sill of the drain drainage guys.
There's lots of new infrastructure going, and you know, it's
all the time they put in massive they.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
They've got to because it's been neglected because counters only
coming for three years and they don't make the big
decisions because I don't want to get voted out.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Well, there was the there was a regional Regional Growth
Fund or whatever it was a few years ago, so
some of the money came from there, but I think
there was more for roading. I don't know if it
was the figs for you know, drainage and you know
wastewater and all that.

Speaker 7 (15:43):
You know.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
The but the thing is that the pipes that they're
replacing the water mains, used to be the size of
probably like one hundred millimeters or something like that, and
now they're replacing them with these nice, big, flexible bag
chunky water mains. And you wonder why they didn't make
them work then in the first place.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Of course, because Paul Planning, did you have an inkling?
We're going up that much.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh well, you know it's everything. Nothing's ever going to
go down, is it. But I'm just saying it's by
the way they calculate it.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
It's off.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's not off your market value of what you would
actually get for.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Your No, but I guess every house is affected the same,
I imagine because the way they probably make every house
and Hastings will be over valued. So you've still got
the same number of houses having to provide all those services,
haven't you.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yeah, I won't keep you much longer, but.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, I appreciate it. Bruce, nice to talk. Thank you.
Twenty four past eight South and on the comeback fourteen
South and Man twenty two to fifty seven minutes gone
too converted tries lock that and great text. I'll get
to those in two minutes. Murriott's Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
Hi Marcus. I'd like to speak on rate. We've always
teach our rates books. Recently, as you know, I have
very recently subdivided three acres of property. I've chopped one
acress for four thousand square meter. I now have two titles. Therefore,
this year I'm paying two lots of rates until.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
It's sold, right, yeah, can you hear me?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yep?

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Well, the interesting factor is is that three acres of property,
you know, with a structure on I'm living here last year,
is now all the rates on paying on the empty
four thousand square meters which has no infrastructure on it.
It's got private water, right, it's not holked up to town. Well,

(17:40):
the rates on that empty property, which is the lowest
rating if possible, because you know it's an empty section,
is four cents less than my entire rates bill for
these you.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Want to be camped outside the me's house.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
Mate, I am so dark, you would not believe it.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I believe it, Murray dark. I believe it.

Speaker 8 (18:06):
Dark in no other word for it.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
So so so I'll just so if you look at
if you look at your entire property, what you've got
one section your own, and you've got your.

Speaker 8 (18:21):
Whole tracers I own and one I'm selling, but I
own them all right now?

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Okay? And how much how much? And having subdivided, how
much of your rate's gone up? They've doubled?

Speaker 9 (18:29):
Have they my rates?

Speaker 8 (18:31):
My rates for the noun all the property you've gone up.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
But all the properties combined, how much of the rate's
gone up doubled. Yeah, flip you better flip that off.
Quaker Murray, Yep, that's.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
The name of the game. But you know the prick
market now because the council seems to take two years
to should prepare, you know, get through the left to
do on your sub room.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I'm gonna go for headlines tomorrow, but thank you for that. Wow.
Twenty nine away from ninety shes all grimm is that
to not? I tell you what's also the Rugby League
ten zero Saint George leading the Warriors. That's at ericson
one I forget what it's called one roof media, so
ten zip to that Warrior's made bad mistakes. The coach
looks like Bellabie, Craig Bellamy, and I mean that he's

(19:12):
doing those sorts of eye rolls and things, so that's
not looking good. Texts are, by the way, quite complicated
how to do a degree symbol on a computer text?
But what can I tell you? Do you know how
to find out whether the Aratari has been booked out
or not? It's final voyage across the Strait? I don't know.
Marcus Pharmaceutical rep. He has spent pretty of time in

(19:33):
the hospital cafe today a bit of atrial fribulation from
too much coffee. But shout out to Mojo Cafe. Well
it's in regional hospital, delicious salads and healthy tasting options.
Thanks for the tip on the degree symbol uses approach
on other keys and now can get characters for foreign languages.
Just who you're talking about shortcut keys today? My students

(19:55):
looking at the division side on the keyboard. We found
it in symbols using word. Also check Google's and there's
a combination of keys using alt Kathy. They go, how
are what happening?

Speaker 9 (20:06):
Guys?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's like in the mood of it, we've done rates.
It's enough on rates that you're half an hour on rates.
Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome. You might
want to talk rates or marshmallows or anything else that
takes your fancy tonight here till twelve, looking forward to
what you want to go on about tonight. You might
want to pick up some of the the other topics
from the week. Not fuss what you come on about tonight.

(20:26):
But as long as you call me, do get in touch.
Oh eight hundred and eighty nine to detext umm oh Marcus,
I hate to burst your bubble. But what you found
on your keyboard is the little numbers. The degree symbol
is here on you. No, I think this was on
my phone, not my I think you're quite right there,

(20:48):
but burst my bubble anyway. Oh no, I think that
you sent me something, but I think that is on
a keyboard. Anyway, get in touch here till twelve. What's happening?
People got to check that out. Now you've got a
different keyboard from me. I haven't got the little bubble
next to the end sign eight hundred and eighty tenty
ninety two ninety two to text. If you want to

(21:09):
come through anything else you want to comment on tonight,
keep bearing your mind and we'll be keeping oeect with
that news as it happens throughout the country and the world.
But yes, let's be hearing of you or from you.
Someone smoking myth on a bus. A lot of people
out there taking photos of things, now, aren't there. That
seems to be what most of the news is. People

(21:31):
surreptitiously filming stuff and putting on social media, and the
newspaper's picking that up. Don't know if it's good or bad,
but it's weird. You can put a line under that anyway,
do come through if you want to talk. Oh, you
might be off to the darts this week and let
me know about that, Luke Littler. The other thing that
I thought was quite interesting. And you know how sometimes

(21:52):
you read these articles you think, oh, I might be
that I might be ADHDA, or I might be and
you know, and that's a story for another day ADHD.
Because everyone's saying they're ADHD. I don't want to minimize it.
But a lot of the things do sound like stuff
that just everyone has. I mean a lot of us
don't want to get out of bed. But anyway, the
latest thing that people are going on about is face

(22:12):
blindness cross of pagnosia. Sometimes I think I might have that.
And that's when you see someone you know but you
can't we out who they are. And a lot of
them PEP people think it's arrogant or rude. But you
might be someone that's not a superric. I mean there
are people that are super recognizers that see someone once

(22:34):
and they can see them again in a crowd a
year later. And there's other people that have got face
blindness and they could see someone not know who they are. Yeah,
So maybe you are one of those persons. Yeah, because
if you don't recognize someone, then they think you're aloof
or you're arrogant. But actually you might have face blindness.

(22:56):
I don't know how they do a test for it,
but yes, by the way, Staggs and the lead twenty
four to twenty two and this when the kids are there,
I'll text to her because she's there, helps you go
the Stags degree sign. So there we go. That's good.

(23:17):
That's good. They've come back for they winn't that they
Wanho gets the bucket head that it'll be fanta. It
looks like the Worries might score as well. Or might
that's a big word anyway, Welcome to twelve names, Marcus
Good Evening oh, eight hundred and eighty, Teddy and nine
two nine to detext Face blindness is the topic for tonight.
It's a bit hiddy for Friday. But yeah, so you
can't recognize people's faces and then someone wears a hat,

(23:41):
always glasses. You've got no idea. So if anyone thinks
they've got face blindness, let me know what it's like.
So yeah, and that might be something you want to say.
And there's other people that actually are over confident and
recognizing people. It's kind of the opposite of face blindness. Also,
that's a bit for me. Eight hundred and eighty Saturday,

(24:01):
twenty four to ten, looking forward to what you've got
to say? Anything else you want to mention so she
you will show remember that, Make it pippy, make it fun.
I've got a long night to get through tonight, keeping
my fluids up? Am I right though? About the Jeffers
and the chocolate fish and the Poe apple ups with
your coffee. I'm sure they thought it was a nice
thing for a cafe to do that, But never good.

(24:24):
Just leaves a cup smudge, and who wants that you
walk around you got some brown marks on your hand.
Never God. Anyway, that's just my version on the one.
Then we think, what else I can tell you about tonight?
Is I stumble through the Friday free for All? What
else I had? Something else is going to mention tonight?
I normally take screenshots of interesting things I see during

(24:45):
the day, and I think I'm going to mention those
on the radio tonight. No, not much. There a lot
of screenshots I take by accident. It's a bad sign,
isn't it. But do come through Marcus till twelve oh
eight hundred and eighty ten nine nine to detext twenty
three away from nine. So I can't die up outrage

(25:06):
about the Tuckapluna golf course. And that's fine. But the
other thing I can tell you about is that lanes
on the Auckland Harbor Bridge, the car strangled Spanner will
be closed for six hours on Sunday. No, not for
high winds, no, not for much needed maintenance. Lanes on

(25:29):
the Oakland Harbridge. Will we close for six hours on
Sunday while Spark films a commercial? You do it with AI,
wouldn't you? Two middle northbound lanes will be closed withing
three even ninety one Sunday for filming inverted Comma's New
Zealand Transport Agency. Get this waka katah, he said to

(25:50):
Traffic Bulletin. Asked what was being filmed on the bridge,
NZTA Spokespridson said telecommunication provider Spark was forming a commercial.
How much we have to pay to close two lanes
of the Harbor Bridge. I'm not outraged, but wow, what
a Spark commercials normally got in it? I don't really
know what a Spark commercial is, so that's happening out

(26:11):
there as well. Okay, so they're closing the Harbor Bridge
two lanes to film a TV commercial. Will you make
a little model and fill the rest and with AI
cheapest creepers here on midnight nineteen to night. And we've
had two calls on rates and that has been it
for this hour. That's really poor. I mean they're good
calls about rates, but we've got to go bigger than this.
I've chucked some great things at you. There might be

(26:34):
some other thing you've been desperate to mention tonight beautiful
pick up later on I reckon tonight. That's my theory
on a Friday. Oh, if you're uber driver, let me
know what you think the economy is doing too. I've
often thought that the Uber people would know when things
are picking up, people starting to go out on a
Friday night. Of course, Friday nights and towns I think

(26:55):
are dead now because people work from home on a Friday.
So that's not good. So yeah, you might want to
mention that as well. But yeah, all the lines are
free looking forward to you want to say, I'll talk
about plunging planes. Anyone flying tomorrow? A Virgin Australia plane
plunged twenty eight thousand feet as panicking passages set their

(27:19):
loved ones worried text messages. Sheep has wonder how long
that would have taken Hailey text to your husband planes
dropping a text message emergency landing love you wow, and
the masks came down. It's always a scary side, isn't
it a depressurization event. They'll be become more common anyway.

(27:43):
Ten noll, the warriors are down. Twenty nine two, the
stags are up. I've got my head and my phone on.
Do not disturb all day, sorry, Boss John Marcus.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
Welcome by, good evening Marcus. I'll tell you about these rates.
What annoys me is just for example, they've just built
that you stadium in christ Church and they of course
I've always had that one and doneed that. I googled
you know who pays for those stadiums? Now, the major

(28:19):
payments come from and don't need the city council and
the government. And the same as this new one they've
built in christ Church. It's paid for by the christ
Church City Council and Central Government. Now what does that mean?
That means that people are the working and paying tax

(28:44):
they're paying for that stadium. And then if you happen,
if you're unlucky enough to be a rate payer in
christ Church, for example, were you're paying twice because you're
paying tax to the government and then you're paying rates
of the council. And that's what's paying for that stadium.
And I think you know that's that's very much over spend.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
It also means that the government is really subsidizing rugby,
which is not a support that pays its own way
because all its venues need to be paid for.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
That's right, And Marcus, I don't know who pays for
these places when they're empty. I mean that that Christy
Stadium has cost over seven hundred million dollars.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
It never stacks up, John, They always do. They always
do reports on how much it's going to bring to
the city with events and stuff. It never ever stacks up.
They're always duds.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
It's all rubbish.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Now, look at look at the need and they thought
they're going to get all these contents they had id
Sheeran ten years ago. God, you and I like those
visible I've been in the Muppets, agree with each other,
aren't we?

Speaker 6 (29:50):
That's right? Now? Can I tell you what I'm the
thing of course you can. Okay, Now, when you when
you have some rural land and you want to subdivide
it up to make building sites, so you change you
can from a p into a subdivision with all the
underground services, the footpaths, the grass brooms, the tassal roads,

(30:17):
all that stuff. Now, whenever you do that, whatever council,
whatever area you're in, and you have to pay a
contribution towards the changing of the subdivision. Yes, now in Alokland,
in Aokland, how much do you think they want per
site as a contribution to the city council for each side?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Would it be twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
Two hundred thousand dollars per site? How much two one
hundred thousand dollars per site?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's a lot.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
And I know that's the case here in Hambleton. Here
somebody subdivided some sections and they wanted to make a
contribution and give the young people buying their first table
or their first section. But they did a subdivision and
they were hoping to sell these sites for two hundred

(31:19):
and fifty thousand dollars per site, and they thought, well
that will be plus whatever the contribution is that the
council wants. Now, they would develop those sites and they
were developed and for sale at two hundred and fifty thousand.
Now when the contribution required by the Hamilton City Council,

(31:42):
they tacked on one hundred thousand dollars per site, changing
from two hundred and fifty one hundred and fifty thousand. Now,
how good is that? How good is that to encourage
you know, new people come and live a new.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Area so that they have the contribution.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
And remember this market, these are brand new sites. There's
no money to been paid. They've changed that land for
rural land into housing sites and it's all brands taking
new you know, there's no low tar, seating or foot
parts are ready at all. It's all ready to go.
And as well as that, they're now putting a whole

(32:24):
lot of rate players in yes to pay rates.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Good point, John, I got to run, but nice to talk.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Thirteen to nine. Gosh, the Southern Stags have won and
I can hear the file. Can you hear the banking?
I can hear the fireworks. I thought there was someone
trying to get into the building, but it's the fireworks
from that they've had there for a while for the
Stag's victory. So that's exciting. So there we go. Stags
have won. Doesn't get better than that, and there are
fireworks on the back of that. So that's the final score,

(32:53):
twenty nine to twenty two. The Stags have won. It's
a full time result there now bearing in mind what
was the score. The score was twenty two zero, while
there wasn't it. They're twenty and earl a halftime. It's
a great comeback from them, and we are talking rates,
but it's a it's a broad Church on a Friday.
I'm not too fast about what you talk about. But yeah,

(33:16):
that's interesting about the That is interesting about the whole
situation with the subdivisions. Great when Marcus, well done, southend Marcus.

(33:40):
keyboard shortcuts if they're available. We never learned you there long, right, long,
lot of fireworks. They're still going brilliant. A lot of
texts through. Someone says more rates talk please absolutely reverting. Well,
I'm hearing you, but you got you gotta you gotta

(34:05):
work with what you've got sometimes, and honestly it's it's
heartfelt for those people that are calling up because that
poor guy that's got his four bedroom house and hastings,
he can't afford it. I've got some great texts coming
up back in a sec. Wow, some of the texts,
I'm going to read them, because I've got a lot

(34:25):
of them. Very good. Peters is pasted it on an
absolute disgrace, wasting that amount of money on no fairies. Bleat,
beleat this government goes, but to where no one knows
any royal news from Britain. A lot of royal news
about and seventy fifth birthday, but none of it's interesting.
Has it ever been a less interesting royal Marcus? I

(34:47):
wonder what drives other people mad when their partners keeps
doing something that irritates them. Even I know it's ridiculous,
but if I crack open the it's got the titust
little blood in the yolk or that jelly sort of
stuff that goes when the whites and the yolk, I
have to throw the egg away. It drives my husband insane.
I know it's unreasonable, it actually makes me feel ill.
I think the jelly what is the jelly bit? I
don't know much about the kawaka? Yeah, I don't know

(35:10):
much about the parts of the egg. Rather than watching
PC the Warriors depressing me, we'll watch the second half

my chocolate fish with my coffee Trish. Uber driver today
said they are paying twenty eight percents of feares to
Uber and soon Uber charged them fifty percent gst. If
I'm correct, bloody Uber doesn't pay any text and us
any What a great business model, Marcus. I'm very proud

(35:54):
of you when you told a gentleman last night not
to bless fheme when he took the lord's name in vain. You,
as a broadcaster is the only person that's z'd but
that doesn't blesspheme. Is I noticed that Mike Hoskins and
Carrie Woodham, would wood am always blessed female good man Marcus.
I love your show's always down to earth people that
talk to you for more works of life. Have a
blessed evening. I will more rates talk please riveting Marcus

(36:19):
at the windows Q on your keyboard type seat. I've
read that one worries on the comeback, someone says, I
hope my rates didn't pay for these friggin fireworks. I
can hear them from five kilometers away. Well, yes, they
really might have. Actually, just make sure you register to

(36:40):
vote and vote. That would be my suggestion to you
on that one. I don't think the counts would have Well,
actually that's I don't know that. Have we had three
years off the council. I can't answer that one honestly.
But yeah, a lot of them never hear's so many
fireworks in v Cargol. But well, that's a real that's
a real victory to a provincial rugby, that's a team

(37:02):
that wants its team to win. Where they have ten
minutes of fireworks on the back of it. An extraordinary performance.
It's gonna be a big night at Big Willie Wrestler's anyway.
Or we got through the first hour. We won't getting
award for it, but I didn't blesspheme and feeling I
could be proud. Well, you never know, I mean what

(37:22):
one whins. You know, we've got different gods and faiths,
haven't we We quite now what's going to defend. It's
best not to offend anyone. Now I'm getting texts from
the fireworks. Oh wow, that's extraordinary. The big dandelion starbursts jeepers.
It's a great shot too. Anyway, catch off the brake season,

(37:46):
have got I have receiving texts from people in Chicago
whose dogs are upset by the fireworks to celebrate the
victory of the stags. Marcus fireworks terrified by two dogs.
They're just gonna have a guy. Fork should be banned.
And someone said the jelly egg thing makes sense. That's
the bit of funny stuff inside the egg that people
don't like and won't cock. What is I think it's

(38:07):
the jackets Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (38:11):
Marcus, Hey, good, jack good. Just on that egg thing
real quick? Are you talking about it?

Speaker 8 (38:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (38:17):
Membrane is at at the top, a little air bubble
membrane that might be a jelly stuff he's talking about.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, is there a sometimes a little bit of a
not a tube, but a little bit of a nerve
between the egg and the yolk.

Speaker 10 (38:35):
Oh oh, you mean that little whitey sort of thing
that's that's on top of the yolk. Yes, yeah, that
could be it too.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
What what is that?

Speaker 10 (38:44):
I had no idea. I had no idea that it'd
be interesting to know.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Hang on, I've looked at I've googled up parts of it.
I've googled up parts of an egg and anatomy of
a fresh egg. That would be the website. Wouldn't it
count that right?

Speaker 11 (39:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:02):
That jelly stuff, juminal disc, blood clott shell as I
inn albumin, out of albumin, and vitiline membrane.

Speaker 9 (39:18):
Ah, there we go.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I don't know what they do.

Speaker 10 (39:22):
Yeah, I guess as part that just get left over
and don't dissolve or whatever it is. Yes, yes, you
had a text about Uber just a little bit ago. Yes,
I do Uber eat pretty much full time at the moment,
And I was talking to one of the stores who
shared a photo of their earnings with me. So they

(39:43):
made two hundred and forty two dollars over three days
was their net sales. They had forty nine dollars thirty
five taken out from uber each's fee. They had seven
dollars forty taken out on GST which was on the
uber eat fee. They spent twenty two dollars on ads,

(40:04):
and then Uber eats the case we run to promotions,
so they give away free stuff with the food, and
Uber eats took away one hundred and thirty five dollars
out of their earnings, leaving them with eighty five dollars
and thirty six cents. We're just basically using the platform,
so they lost out majorly with that.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
So this two hudred and forty two dollars. This is
a restaurant. This was just the Uber accounts for their restaurant.

Speaker 12 (40:30):
That's correct.

Speaker 10 (40:30):
This was over what five different orders that they had
received that week.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
So it's not working for them, or they see there's
there's other reasons to do it.

Speaker 10 (40:41):
There's other reasons. It brings them more customers, and this
was sort of reasonably slow week, but you know, on
an average week that they're making their money back. But
you know, five orders they sell two hundred and forty
two dollars for stuff, which is pretty much at the
expense of a store. And then Uber Eats pays them
eighty five dollars thirty six months. All those expenses are
taken out. Yeah, okay, and that's pretty ridiculous my opinion.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Are the other operators door do and do Dash and
other door dash Are they better?

Speaker 10 (41:14):
I'm not sure how they work. I'm not sure on
the cost of them, but I've only heard people mainly
moaning about the Uber costs, like they have some high
up their seas on the platform to just cover basic senses.
As we can see there, you don't.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Need to be exclusive. You could do DoorDash as well,
couldn't you.

Speaker 10 (41:31):
You could do door Dash, you could do deliver easy,
you could do whatever other ats there are delivering foods.
There's no exclusive contract with them.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Have you thought of doing that?

Speaker 10 (41:43):
Bye?

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Bye?

Speaker 10 (41:44):
I just do the delivered. I deliver the food. I
just picked it up from a store and delivery. I
wasn't do any other platforms ubers. Easy enough for me, and.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
It's working for you at the moment, Jack, you're making money.

Speaker 10 (41:56):
Oh, I'm making money delivering the food. Yeah, but the
stores they're selling the food are barely scraping by on
the platform, barely making a profit. You know, but that's
quite sad for him.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Are the restaurants. Are the restaurants saying that they sit
down customers? That's picked up.

Speaker 10 (42:12):
I haven't dove too deep into that. I just dove
into the Oh, how much are you guys making from
selling stuff? And how much does uber take off? Was
my curious sort of questions to them that time. Okay,
I don't live too much into the other side of things. Unfortunately,
I can do that report back next week if.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
You could jack your Uber correspond I appreciate that. Thank you.
Twelve past nine nine twelve. My name is Marcus. This
is interesting text btw. By the way, Marcus, I'm not
sure if you or any callers have noticed that personal
laundry powder does not include the plastic soap scoob anymore.
This is a third box I bought without it. Maybe
someone else may have noticed. Cheers, Serena. I just picked

(42:52):
up with my fist. Marcus, just want to agree with
a recent caller thanking you for your care of the
language used on your show. Many of us here are
going throughout lives ups and downs, so your sensitively over
some topics that can be emotionally close to the surfaces of appreciated.
It makes eight to twelve. It makes eight to twelve
at nine is it'd be a good place to tune
in and close the day. Oh that's nice. You've been

(43:16):
you as always enough, Never change, and thank you for
so many good hours and listening. Well, I don't think
I will change, but thank you, Marcus read the guy
with a nine hundred k raidable value means nothing at
the time of sale. Two hous on the same street,
with same floor plan. One could be pristine, the other wrecked.
He can get a free appraisal for an agent or

(43:37):
a ridge of its registered valuation, which will cost him
take to counsel and contest his rates. Yeah, well, what
a changing property market. Radable valuations are kind of crazy,
aren't they? And I'm not quite sure what the point
of it is, although I guess that probably you know
that more expensive sections should pay more rates. But I
don't quite know what happens with that, Marcus, I saw

(44:00):
about your bell missing? What's that about? What's the bell missing? Someone? Please?
I saw about your bell missing. It's a three K reward?
What's that about? I don't understand that text? Can you
text some beans? I don't understand I don't know that
white thing is the umbilical called the unfertilized fetus. So

(44:21):
how many road cones will be needed to close off
two lanes on the Harbor Bridge on Sunday? Considering the
anti road cones political campaign will either make or Breakwayne
Brown getting a second term. Many road works not happy
with the rhetoric on road cones, but whether they vote
or not is another night on talkback. Road cones can
predict them from agro. There we go lines free. There's
other stuff out there you want to talk about. Feel

(44:42):
free to come through. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty
to tell you. Anyone off to the darts this weekend?
Let me know about that. Is it still fancy dress?
And what will you be wearing now? I'll bring breaking
news when it happens around the world. But the Stags
have won twenty nine twenty two, followed by five minutes
of fireworks and the Warriors are down four to ten

(45:06):
or ten four to the dragons. Looking forward to input
to a big night in town too. It might be
some bucket heirs out and about, But the Harbor Bridge
is closing on Sunday because Spark are going to film
a commercial they're closing two lanes. It's crazy a you
think they'd use AI. That'd be my bet with that one.

(45:28):
But welcome if you want to talk. Oh, by the way,
there's two games of League on tonight too, so she's
a fairly fairly tense night of sport, I would think,
because the Warriors aren't looking fantastic. It seems like a
lot of penalties are going against them. But yes, also
talk about the cafes and hospitals will now no longer

(45:48):
serve marshmallows and when limited how much cream they can serve.
But yeah, the only point for marshmallows is they put
them with coffee. Always think that, or they put them
with fluffies. Is that what they've got? Terrible things? Ban
those and band doing any of those chocolate sort of
Jeffers or pineapple lumps or chocolate fish with ups of coffee.
They just about and make a mess. It's always a

(46:10):
big note on and I had disappointed when I see that,
and now it's the little things. Get in touch. Sixteen
past nine. Welcome, keep those texts coming through to nine
to nine to text you want to be part of
the show, talking rates, keyboards and anything else you want
to talk about tonight. Also, Putin and Trump meet tomorrow morning,

(46:35):
and boy, oh boy, then we're gonna listen to Trump
saying how it was the greatest meeting in the history
of mankind. How he wants his Nobel Peace Prize. He'll
probably get it too, seems to get everything he wants.
Sixteen past nine uh nine nineteen hitdle twelve shim set
it on from midnight tonight looking forward to input is
I say, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Kelvin Marcus, welcome,

(46:58):
hello Calvin.

Speaker 7 (47:02):
Yeah, it's an old traffic, just a new way of
looking at it. Its global warming from an angle of
just looking at things in reverse.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Great, great idea, great of.

Speaker 7 (47:15):
The Yeah, it's for example, it's like smoking suffocates you
from the inside out. So this is just looking in reverse.
And so this old topic is like, how, so, what
are the chances of crude oil in its raw state

(47:35):
being the hydraulic of the earth. And if this were so,
what are the chances of crude oil in its raw
state being sorry, crude all in its raw state regulating
soil temperature.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
That's it's so, it's the it's the medium that dissipates
the heat of the earth and takes it well because
it's the internal earth is hotter.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
So if it was, if it was the hydraulic, wouldn't
it be bringing the heat from the surf of the earth,
from the center of the earth closer to the surface.

Speaker 7 (48:10):
They'd be regulating it between core and surface. And so that,
you know, just to the bigger picture of the whole story.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
So for removing all the hydraulic, what does that mean?

Speaker 7 (48:26):
Well, wouldn't it create expansion and you know, the heat
would emanate, wouldn't it towards the crust, and it would
regulate soil temperature. I would say, have you run.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
It past any other turback hosts?

Speaker 7 (48:48):
No, No, you're not a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
Not a bad idea. Bounce it around the mid dawns
and then trying some of the daytime shifts.

Speaker 7 (48:57):
Mm hmm, thank you.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
I've never heard of that theory that I'm liking at Calvin.
I guess it's got to work out how much is there?
But of course too before that, there was Yeah, who
knows anyway, get in touch Marcus till twelve oh eight
hundred and eighty Teddy and nine two nine to the text,
Oh we're getting all right, we're getting buy welcome. If
you want to talk about anything else, I'd rather have

(49:19):
your climate change stuff, yes, Serena, I haven't had a
plastic scoop for months either. In my washing packets, I
keep my original I can't get cold pound of packet anymore.
Wish they'd stop taking things off the market, like my
golden fruit biscuits. That was a crime. That was what
a great biscuit. That was how it could be four biscuits.
You could fold them over good evening, Marcus the persly

(49:41):
text about no scoop in the washing powder buyer pems
washing from peckings table a new world. Keep the scoop
for your other washing powders, have a good weekend, some diets,
and just having marshmallows as a reward for good food
management when losing weight as an aside, Does anyone else
get annoyed when you're a beverage of choice from the
cafe has southed lukewarm, even when you ask for extra

(50:02):
hot in response to your soupermarket car parking, they make
the car parks too narrow, or they clearly do. Now
why is that?

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Well, all those giant cars. No what happens for me? Yeah,
I drive into the park on a curve, on a
curve and then don't do the reverse out. It's just
sheer laziness on my part. I don't do the reverse
out and come back and straight bit. But I've owned
that Down've apologize to the woman said it's a terrible park.

(50:32):
I'm moving. Sure, it wasn't that bad here. It wasn't
that bad. She I've seen worse that. So I'm under
a conversation and trying to exaggerate how bad the parking
is to make her feel like, oh no, it was terrible.
I've seen worse. No here, and that was well anyway,
Chefs creepers getting touched by name's Marcus Welkome. We had
Calvin with us. That's interesting, isn't it. Anything goes tonight,

(50:55):
feel free. It's the Thriday Free for all. We're up
against the mastershif Final Linear TV is still going strong.
The Stags have one. There's been fireworks brought the house
down literally, hear them here. It must be three kilometers away, marvels.
But a big still night in Vicicagol. Great night for
a victory. Welcome to a twenty three past down. If

(51:17):
you got a partake in the show, I'll keep you
updated with the news if I can, if I can
find any stuff around the world. There has been several
people taking into police custody after assault in messy Colwell
Road heading about five point forty today. There I can
tell you that. And the meeting between Putin and Trump

(51:39):
is tomorrow morning on Alaska, which used to be part
of Russia. I'm not fully aware of why they sold that.
It will be a reason for that, and people have
studied that in great length. I did enjoy that that.
I did enjoy the story about those kiwis that won
the race down the Yukon River. And I went on
the map to look at the Yukon River. It's got

(51:59):
an amazing It's amazing where the Yukon River flows from,
because it actually starts quite close to the coast, it
ends up miles away. It's a weird river. If I
could say that, I don't know if anyone's ever done
anything on the Yukon River. They might want to use
that as another thing to talk about, if they've boated
on that or kayake gone that or anything like that. Yeah,

(52:23):
she's significant so it ends up and quote it starts
very close and then goes right across the whole length
of Alaska. It's an extraordinary river and I couldn't believe
it when I saw it's drainage basin where it works from. Anyway,
you might want to common. I just checking everything at
you tonight because it's going to be one of those shows.

(52:43):
It's going to be chucked the lot at your kind
of a night show tonight. And the darts that's this
weekend and that'll be a big thing. Luke Littler's here,
and I don't know if people still dress up as
Where's Wally for the darts. It's on an Auckland. I
think it's just Aukland. It might be Hamilton as well.
Sometimes they go to both. Oh Luke Littler, but if

(53:06):
you want to were any of these things, he might
be driving over the stags. Let us know, Oh eight
hundred and eighty Tad nineteen nine two detect Marcus s
till twelve. By the way, Master Chef has finished, unless
you're watching it on Plus one when it started only
an hour ago. Sports results for you South in twenty
nine one or two twenty two, that is full time.
That is a victory. Also two in the Warriors Warriors
are on four, Saint George on ten. That's a high

(53:29):
tackle two that needs to be a penalty. Marcus. My
weights went up one hundred and one point two percent.
Auckland Evandale. Wow, that's extraordinary. Sitting outside the strong room
and fielding enjoying a beer in the sun too near
misses at the roundabout within about ten minutes better than
Shortland Street. Surely it can't be still sunny now. Seems

(53:54):
to be some pretty rum refereeing in the old Warriors
match too. I don't know if a lot of the
crowd seems quite upset about that. You know, I get
in touch what I talk on. Your name is Marcus.
Welcome to anything except Glibal except global climate warming. I
think I don't really want people's well I say that,
but I did quite at the fire. Guys say, but
let's work it backwards. Why person would have given up

(54:16):
on the scoop? I don't think we're a personal femily.
I don't know what the powder we use this, but
there's always like a cardboard scoop, like made from reconstituted paper,
like they had beard pens in hospital, Marcus, maybe he
said your text message to us without putting butter on
my cat's legs. Still over the weekend a few times,
but my wife has gone spear got butter everywhere. It

(54:39):
wasn't good advice. Marcus has high fiving and fist pumping
instead of a handshake past the credibility stagent into the
cringe factor, especially among grown adults. Good show as usual,
Thanks Mac. Yeah, I'm not a fist pumper or a
high fiver. I tried to discourage the children from high fiving,

(54:59):
but it was a thankless task because it was everywhere.
But yeah, it seems to be the thing these days.
I don't know where we are at with that. I
think those long protracted, funny kind of handshake things have gone,
haven't they. They've jumped the shark a little bit. Anyway.
I don't know where we are with modern manners and
things like that. But yes, get in touch if you
want to talk. Twenty had away from at ten o'clock

(55:19):
here till twelve, busy week of talked back. Here are
the tops head this week because I remember them. This
week Pumpkins, Pumpkin pubs, left handedness, pets so it's mainly
been peas and tonight she's just bits and bobs of everything.
A couple of calls on rates, one on global warming,
one on Uber, one on Putin. If have you got

(55:41):
anything to add or you can do something differently, would
love to hear from you. We need one of those
great scandals like what happened to the Personal Scoop or
something like that that you can get animated about. I'm
not totally sure what that is tonight, but you feel
free to get involved. You might want to give me
a rundown on The Master's Chief Final? How good was that?
I wouldn't have watched an episode of it for years,
But slowly it seems to come and gets people's attention,

(56:03):
doesn't it. But yep, do get and I'll by the way,
someone want to know how we can watch Putin and
Trump tomorrow morning. I don't know if it's televised. I'm
sure Fox News will be there. They say Putin's ready
to make a deal, but it's pretty crazy crazy you'd
make a deal without the Ukraine's meat, without Ukraine being there.

(56:24):
I don't really know too much about that, but yeah,
there we go. That's what's happening. Tonight, looking forward to
hearing from you are twenty seven away from ten. If
there's something different you want to try, if you want
to try out some new material with your topics brilliant?
Oh what do I have a food thing to tell
you about today? Thinking about pumpkin? No, I forgot what
They're going to try my pumpkin souper agin this weekend.

(56:46):
So I report back on that, because often you get
a recipe, you try it once and it's fantastic sicond
time not as good, But that often, I think is
because you just get sick of it. Kind of the
law of diminishing enjoyment when it comes to cooking. Is
that right? I think there's something there. One hundred and
one point two percent rate increase in Avondale. You must

(57:06):
have subdivided your sections or done something, haven't you? Because
your house would be worth less, wouldn't it. Anyway, get
in touch, you want to mention something about that. Eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to two nine
to de text oh twenty five away from ten o'clock
twenty four to ten out appears as though the Warriors
have scored as well, although I think there is some
sort of They haven't confirmed the try yet. It looks

(57:29):
like it's kickable, so I think if that was a
try and they could kick of the conversion, it would
be level. But they're replaying it time and time again.
I'm not quite sure what the perceived infraction infraction infraction
was too scared to look really, but that's a situation there.
They're down four to ten, about ten to fifteen minutes

(57:49):
left in that one also to the south and had
a very goodwin. Not twenty nine to twenty two. They
came from twenty two up behind, so one or two
must have not scored in that second half. That's an
extraordinary victory in there were I don't know how long
they've had the fireworks packed away, but they must be
about ten minutes works to celebrate that, so we know
that's what's happening tonight, and all the lines are free

(58:10):
if we want to come through. How's everyone gone with there?
I hate to say this, but how's everyone gone with
their old Smeg stuff? Do they just suck the comera
and buy anything they wanted not got the best one?
Is that what they have to do? Because after the
old Brazier nothing looked much good at all. I'm not
quite sure how you're gone with that, but I think
probably it's just kind of the biggest Oh, the try

(58:32):
was allowed and tender Boyds kicked the kick. The kick
done a good kick from the side or not the sideline.
Probably ten minutes and so it's ten all. There's the
mount smart joker. That's a good result. So there we go.
We've got a ball game now. Two lazy tries they
let through, Sir George in the first half, twenty three
away from a ten o'clock. But if you're not watching
the league or Master's hift and you're not double screening
and want to talk and he would love to have

(58:54):
your opinion tonight if there's something you do want to
talk about. Not quite sure what not too fust I've
mentioned what I needed to, but yeah, do come through.
We're so far up. We've talked about secret hacks for
your keyboard on your phone. We've talked about bad parking

(59:16):
at supermarkets. I myself are guilty of that. It's about
coming into a car park on a curve and they're
not going back and do the straightening bit, which is lazy,
isn't it? See as guilty as charged. We've talked about
the hospitals that are sorting out their cafes. The story
with that is the headline as they're banning h and marshmallows,

(59:41):
so hospital cafes you won't have marshmallows and scones could
be next. The latest healthy food policies in the beginning
stage have been rolled at nationwide for food and drinks
options at health usingent to auder locations and will be
in place fully by the end of March. Won't apply
to impatient meals, meals on wheels of food and drink

(01:00:02):
bought by staff and visitors, but will apply to all
food and drink at the healthiest in facilities such as
hospital cafes, coffee kats, and vending machines. So yes, you're
not going to get the food. Perhaps you once did.
The policy split food and drinks into three categories, Green, Amber,
and red. So yeah, it's a pretty complicated situation. I'm

(01:00:27):
sure it's going to be a nightmare to try and
work out what passes and whatnot doesn't. So that's the thing.
Fried for laughles out and a lot of things that
look quite good aren't good. On the list were deep
fried meats and deep fried legume. Based products such as
fried for lafl, thin or drizzled icing and chocolate within

(01:00:48):
products was allowed, but thick icing and chocolate covered or
contains confectory Egy Rocky Road Lolly slice was deemed red.
Very complicated. List there, that's all happening. Also for drinks, marshmallows,
syrups or powers out of sugar such as chai or
much of teas were red. Sachet available on request was
amber extremely complicated. So there we go. That's the cafes

(01:01:13):
and hospitals they're going to change. Oh, this is interesting.
Washington d C. To Anchorage is six nine hundred kilometers
or eighty four hours drive time. Moscow to Anchorage seven
thousand and forty k's almost exactly halfway, so it's one

(01:01:35):
hundred and Washington d C. To Anchorage is one hundred
and forty k's shorter than Moscow to Anchorage, so've got
to step that. Thanks for that. There we go. Keep
your text and emails coming through. If you want a call,
Wo'd love to hear from you tonight. You might even
have a you might even have another pet story. Anyway,

(01:02:00):
do get in touch if you want to talk. Marcus
till twelve and there might be something entirely random and
different you want to speak of out be very happy
to hear from you. Now, what I can tell you
is I've got to store on restless League, but it
hasn't arrived. Here we go, Here we go. We'll try
restless league as a topic. That's the way that goes
well with our crowd. Now, let me think about this.

(01:02:26):
Ten percent of the population this person's writing an article
suffers from restless league. Now I'm just to see what
the conclusion of the article is. Well, it's a bit
of a hard article for me to kind of consume
as I read this. Anyway, I don't think they've managed
to find a solution. It's an artic about a holiday
ruined by restless league. Whatever the cause, we know for

(01:02:48):
sure that restless leg syndrome is a sleep stealing sanity,
statching torments of it by millions. Indeed, I'm amazed nobody
has come up with a solution to it yet, given
how widespread and insomnia inducing it is. I will kiss
the feet when anyone finds a remedy, truly I will.
I think it's more from someone's holiday diary that was
destroyed by restless leg I think she's using her medical
problems to try and flesh out the flesh out her article.

(01:03:12):
But there we go might be something you want to
mention it. I think there's been a number of cures
when I've spoken at this show. Anyway, ten all in
the league and ten minutes left to go. They'll be
lucky to win this the Warriors. I hope hospitals do change,
as had sandwiches while visiting there of re Stale. Is
Ramsey doing the catering for the Putin Trump conference? Why

(01:03:35):
would it be Ramsey? I wonder they'd get some local chef,
wouldn't they. I'm sure there's great restaurants and Anchorage to
be great seafood. Wouldn't there great line from that song
where anchorage? Isn't it the Caddie Ling song?

Speaker 4 (01:03:47):
Is it? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Do come through seventeen away from ten looking forward to
what you've got to say? Here's a funny text. Re
watched the expiry date on fresh fruit cups. The juice
at the bottom was fizzy, not good. Ironically, mushrooms would
have helped, as they have an ammodium like effect. Yeah,
let's hope so do they haven't a modium like effect.

(01:04:11):
Maybe they do. I do quite doubt what the points
of marshmallows are. It's a plant, doesn't it? What used
to be? Louise. By the way, the warriors have just scored.
They've got a head fourteen to ten. Louise, it's Marcus.
Good evening, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:04:25):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Oh God, yes on, let me put both my earphones.
I was going to hear you clearly. I'm very good.
Thank you, Louise.

Speaker 14 (01:04:30):
Oh good, yes, that's got there. We but fired up
this hospital cafe rubbish. I mean, who the heck do
they think? They are coming out marshmallows and there's going
to be scnext of it. I mean, as healthy is
helland does so? Concerned about what the cafes are selling,

(01:04:52):
maybe they should provide good, nutritious meals to their patients.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
It's exactly right, isn't it, Because the fruit, because it's
compass catering. It's pretty shabby, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (01:05:03):
Oh, I've just been in the hospital and it's shopping.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:05:09):
I'm not a fussy eater, but oh I've got some
of the food they just up there. I went to
the one at leaven after that and that was better mostly.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
But yeah, but I think Louise with the food that
always looks so unappetizing right in hospital when you are
a patient, it's it has passed food guidelines, hasn't it.
I'm asking you rhetorically because you've been there. Well, give
me the example of one of the meals that wasn't

(01:05:42):
so bad.

Speaker 14 (01:05:43):
It wasn't so bad. Oh, maybe a roast sometimes I
love a roast.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Delicious with what vegetables.

Speaker 14 (01:05:56):
Usually pumpkin potatoes and mix veggies. Maybe I'll never eat
max vigies again, I've had enough of that. But yeah,
they're supposed to have dieticians who do these meals, but
they're so unadvertising, like Mac and cheese, for instance, it's

(01:06:17):
just no flavor.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
It doesn't It's funny you say Mac and cheese. Think
I don't think Mac and Cheese would have passed their
cafe food guidelines. And as I'm talking to you, I'm
thinking also that these cafes, I'm surely are normally run
by private contractors. That's going to affect their bottom line
if they've got very difficult food kind of hurdles to
get over.

Speaker 14 (01:06:40):
Yes, and I mean what it's a bit of a
cheap really, the hospital saying that because as you say,
they are private contractors, and the one at tom Palmi
Hospital is really good, and they say they usually make
the really good coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
As well, the one, the one, the one in the
cargo's extremely good. And when the kids have always had
broken bones, it's always good to go there after they've
had their cast off and get them. You get them,
you know, you kind of feel you need a place
to deep download, to have a bite to it before
you get the car back to Bluffs. It's always worked
quite well.

Speaker 14 (01:07:14):
Yes, yes, I agree that, Yes, it's always good to
go there. Especially the coffee on the water is awful too.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
You know, I don't know you got I didn't. I
was surprised you got a roast. I just thought you
had like a small plastic tray of like a reconstituted
sort of mcsweet or something.

Speaker 14 (01:07:33):
No, and I've tried the vegetarian option. Never again was inedible.
There was a couple of meals that were totally inedible
that just made me want to throw up. Well, and
you don't have much of an appetite in hospital anyway,
And you know, if it's nicely presented, it would help.
It's just throwing on the plate basically, and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Just is there, Like are there catering staff that bring
the food round?

Speaker 14 (01:08:02):
The usually the HCA's of it, the help to your assistance, okay,
sometimes the nurses, So it depends on who's here. Sometimes
in the hospital itself they have a great thing trolley
and they do regular straight from that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Usually must must be a thankless job being involved in
dietitian hospital, because you know, you've got complicated people. I
suppose put yes, yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:08:31):
And where people lift the metal loads and put it
back down again.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Yeah, there would be like there would be like job
satisfaction because most people always complain about hospital food, don't they.

Speaker 14 (01:08:44):
Oh yes, okay, you get the occasional meal. That's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
But you're not back there too soon, Louise. That would
be my hope for you.

Speaker 14 (01:08:53):
Oh yes, I've had enough of hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:08:56):
That'd be the plan.

Speaker 14 (01:08:58):
Yes, yes, well I wasn't planning on going in there
this year this.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Okay, Well of course, yeah, okay, Well good luck with that,
thank you, Louise. Nine away from ten Marcus. My partner
has face blindness. I'm pretty sure I'm the opposite, so
his never recognizing anyone who's so frustrating would be interested
of others find this. Yeah, look, I'm sure I've been
in situations where this. If someone wears a hat, or
wears glass, or does something quite different, there's a high

(01:09:26):
chance I won't know who they are. Now, I'm not
saying I have face blindness, because it's all the rage
these days to admit you have all sorts of things,
whether it be add or you know, because it's there's
always a women's magazine article with someone's life's changed because
they've found some drug. That's I don't know too much
about this stuff. I do read that, but sometimes you
read those articles. So here's the ten songs you might

(01:09:47):
be this thing? Well, actually, isn't that everyone? And I'm
quite happy being this way. I quite like my mood swings.
Gives a bit of night and day shade. It's a
good thing, isn't it. Anyway? Get in touch if your
talk magus till twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine to nine to text someone might have had

(01:10:09):
some good experience of hospital food. Well, Marcus. To stop
the chocolate fish from sticking to the hot cap, The
trick is to place the spoon between the cap and
the chocolate fish on the saucer. This way the spoon
prevents the melt. A good barista should know this. Loved
the show. Cheers Rye B from Dunedin. Well now the
name became rye B spelled rhidsh b quite a lot.

(01:10:34):
There's a Monica hurdle twelve welcome eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine two nine two text looking forward to
what you've got to say. If there's anything else you
want to mention, feel free to come through. Eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty Pete, it's Marcus. Good evening you Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:10:51):
You notice when you go in the hospital you can't
make a reservation. Can you really have no such thing
as a three or five star rating?

Speaker 16 (01:10:58):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (01:10:59):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:11:01):
So I've been in hospital quite a few times in
my legs over the years, and tree operations on my
knee and then my ankle when I came off the
roof and what have you. And I've never complained about
the food.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
You know, it's it is.

Speaker 15 (01:11:13):
You know, the government's on I find budget, so I
always think the breakfast, the lunch, there was always good food.
I never complained about it once.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
I think what's happened for people is people were of
the belief that once upon a time, hospitals had their
staff kitchen and the food, they had special hospital people
that did the and you know, people that were loved
that come around and have the meals each day. Now
it's all just out caated. So I guess that's you know,
for supposed efficiencies, and people don't love that.

Speaker 15 (01:11:42):
Yeah, I suppose end of the day, is they there
to fix you up. They're not there to feed you,
So they're not there to make your fat.

Speaker 6 (01:11:50):
Are they?

Speaker 17 (01:11:51):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Absolutely not, absolutely not. But I guess too that when
you haven't if you're someone that, like, yeah, if you're
someone that's got all day to just sit there and
you know you're only you might hear that many visitors
and the only thing you got to look forward to
is you. Yeah, I'm hearing exactly, Pete.

Speaker 15 (01:12:06):
But yeah, no, I just know I heard about it,
even though I was those times I was there. It
needs to complain. I just nod my head and I
was young grateful people.

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
Really, why did you say you're in hospital so much?
Not so much but a.

Speaker 15 (01:12:21):
Lot motocross is my knee? There's three operations on my
knee and I just had Now, I just had a
total near replace and done about five years ago. And
I came off a ref when I was working for
a riffing company. So I done in my fierce share
in the hospital. Put it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Is it all right now? Is it all right now?
Were you reacon?

Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (01:12:41):
You know it's fine. You still have a total near replacement.
You still can't do what you used to do. You
can't play real physical sports like squash and stuff. You
restricted what you can do. You know that. So it's
still annoying, but it's at least not in a wheelchair.
I can still walk around. You know it's all bad?

Speaker 4 (01:12:59):
Is it? No?

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
And do you like did you used to like playing squash?

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:13:03):
I didn't plays played tennis and stuff like that, volleyball
and stuff like that in the younger days. But there's
a lot of things you can do, like pushing me,
make the you while bet if my ankle and I
can't walk over rocks, I can't do it for my
ankle and want to fuse it and stuff like that.
So I just get I love always your love of
the positives. A lot with the people off from New Marcus.
You know a lot of people wheel cheese and other things,

(01:13:26):
so you look at it. You're going to look at
the best situation that you're in. I'm not that bad.
They're walking around.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Yeah, oh well yeah, you know. Yeah, unfortunately, touch what.
I haven't experienced that, but nice to hear from you, Pete,
Thanks so much for that. The Warriors have done it. Goodness,
gracious me, that was a reckon. They have won fourteen ten.
They're all just latine is least neck is just dead
on the field. They're all just looking. They threw everything
at it. Yeah, so that's they've broken. They're losing streak.

(01:13:52):
They're down three on the trot so they've won that.
So that was heart. I mean that was they just
look guessed. The teams absolutely guess. They came from two
tries down. So I think they'll be back on the
top four.

Speaker 17 (01:14:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
I don't know they're going to stay there, but that's
exciting anyway. Yeah, Pete would have put the scaffolding up
exactly when all these people say, PC gone mad. It's
too much, too much scaffolding. The number of people on
the show that stuffed themselves by falling off roofs, the
expense that must have caused costs before the scaffolding role
is unbelievable. Marcus Hastings Hospital do meals on site in

(01:14:27):
good Parmeston North Hospital food as yuck, it's from Tarnia.

we've talked about variety of things. We're into hospital meals
and yes, I'm never quite sure what the etiquette is

(01:15:57):
about complaining about hospital meals, but probably even on a
fixed budget, probably ones that are good and bad. I'm
sure there's probably staffing issues as well. I've got a
lot of texts about that, so I'll read those. Marcus
Hastings hospital meals on site and good Palmson North food

(01:17:47):
do want to say come through. Also to the reason
we've gone to the hospital food is because now the
hospital cafes have got real restrictions on what they can serve,
like no marshmallows, no falafel, things like that. So that's
changing in the hospitals as well, So that might be
something you want to talk about too. I don't quite

(01:18:07):
know what happens with the cafes. I guess they're just
run by private concerns. I guess they're run on a
contract type type system. But you'd be hard for them
because the sort of food you want probably when you're
taking kids and things the hospital is probably not the
sort of stuff that they want. Anyway, that's what run
about tonight. Team ten welcome oh eight hundred and eighty
eachaid of course, the other rugby league match tonight is

(01:18:30):
the Roosters versus the Dog that's currently on at the moment.
Just spoken to Vanessa. She said the fireworks were fantastic,
went for about ten minutes. She's just got home from
the match. So there we go. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine to nine, two to text, eleven
past ten. Jim Stedden is on from midnight, which is

(01:18:57):
not a surprise because the night he normally does on
a Friday. Jamie Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:19:03):
Oh there you going good? Thanks jam the uppy food
in cafes and hospitals, and then John I remember, I
remember there was a McDonald's that started.

Speaker 2 (01:19:14):
There was it seems extraordinarily a loud I think that
was hugely controversial at the time, wasn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:19:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:19:21):
I did a quick google because I'm sure it was.
I just wanted to make sure it st closed in
two thousand and five. Yeah, and I said it was controversial.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
I remember almost talk back at the time when they
were going in. There was a hot topic for a
long time, and it must have been I wasn't talk
back at about nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 4 (01:19:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:19:45):
Yeah, let's probably about right. Because my little sister was
started quite a long time. Yeah, eight weeks and.

Speaker 9 (01:19:53):
She was long after.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Jamie. She lived, No, she didn't pretty oh.

Speaker 18 (01:20:01):
Hell yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Sorry to ask you out, but yeah, okay, I just
when you see that, yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:20:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, she got better and come home
and then went down hill. But yeah, no it Yeah.
I just remember being a kid. I was about seven,
and some of the fun oft times was hanging out
McDonald's and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
You would have spent a ton of time there. I
suppose you got a daughter, the sister there for that.

Speaker 6 (01:20:27):
Long yeah a lot.

Speaker 18 (01:20:30):
Yeah, like yeah, I remember after school was going there
all the time and on the radio lollipop as well.
Spend a lot of time there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Yeah okay. And I don't even know if they did
anywhere else around the world that have a McDonald's at
the hospital. But it seems strange, didn't it.

Speaker 18 (01:20:48):
Yeah yeah, I guess I was too young. We think
about it, but now it does seem surreal, doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
And I guess it was great pr for the McDonald's
because they're all involved with those charities. They're all involved
with the Ronald McDonald houses as well too, so that's
probably something related to that. Also.

Speaker 18 (01:21:06):
Yeah, and as sort of what I thought. Yeah, no,
I don't know. I was just thinking. I can't remember
if I ever had any food there, but I have
no doubt I would have got a happy meal.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Nice to hear from you, Jamie. Thanks for the call,
Pete Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:21:22):
Yes, good evening, Marcus. A bit over a year ago
I had a stroke and finished up in Taranaki Bass Hospital,
and I can only say that the food there was
unbelievably good, to such a degree that after about four
or five days, when i'd been right back in the

(01:21:46):
base hospital, I was in the stroke recovery ward, my
wife came to visit and I gave her a copy
of the menu, and she said to me, I hope
you don't expect that when you get home, And and
of course I didn't think because the food was so good.
You know, I wasn't really in the hell of a
hurry to get home, although I was quite heavy, I

(01:22:09):
wanted to. I didn't like the weekends up there, but
the food was good. But I was only in there
for a couple of weeks before they let me home anyway,
so I was one of the lucky ones.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
But the food made was the food made on site.

Speaker 19 (01:22:25):
Was it, Yes, it's made on site. It's in the basement.
They've got a huge kitchen out down there. I found
it by mistake because I took the lift of the
basement instead of the instead of the first floor. I'm
on visit to the hospital. So I found it and
they came across it. Now it's a huge, huge conflict,

(01:22:45):
as obviously it needs to be with so many people
in the in the hospital. But the cafeteria up there
is very good too. I've been in there. I was
actually calling a few nurses in a bygone era and
I'd go in there to catch up with them in
their break from time to time, and the food was

(01:23:05):
really good and there too, And.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
I'll put that on my bucket list to go and
try out. The base. Well, they call it the Base
Hospital out of interest. I've always wondered about that.

Speaker 19 (01:23:15):
Well, I think it covers the whole of Taranaki because
we've got so many towns around the mountain Marcus that
I think they and Harris got to hospital and Strafford's
got to hospital, and so they call it the base
Paranecky Base, so it's it does service the outlying hospitals

(01:23:36):
because they are not on the same level that they
were previously.

Speaker 2 (01:23:40):
And Pet it sounds to me like you came through
your strike. You've got all your faculties by the sound
of things, haven't you.

Speaker 19 (01:23:46):
I'm one of the lucky ones, Marcus, because and I'm
going to rehab Jim. Now I go three three days
a week, which is good, and I find the strength.
I didn't have lost a bit of sensation down on
my left hand, but down the left side, that's all
come back. And I've got no mobility issue apart from

(01:24:08):
the fact that I had a crooked left knee. Anyway,
I had the right knee replaced, but ACC approved it,
and then three months day I get a letter saying
that they needed more information. And now after that they'veventually
kicked me into touch. So I'm still waiting for the
knee and I'd love to get that because the pain
and my knee affects my mobility quite a lot. I've

(01:24:31):
had to give a lot of things up. There's still
a lot of phishing ones, so I had to give
that up. But I mean, I'm still here and a
lot of my mates aren't anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:24:39):
So Yeah, and with.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
Caver, I've spoken to the stroke club a couple of
you know, the recoveries. You don't get much recovery after
it's happened to you. That's a lot, isn't it.

Speaker 19 (01:24:50):
Yeah, well, that's right. And if you're one of the
lucky ones like me, where it didn't affect my eyesight,
on the speech or anything like that, you can concentrate
on just getting the physical side of it sorted out.
But some of the the new patients that their rehab
jim have lost their speech, and some of them are

(01:25:13):
affected a bit in sight, and some are quite badly
affected on one side or the other, you know, and
their reheaber is taking you know, it's taken a lot longer.
As you can understand, a lot of the nerves was
quite badly damaged with the stroke and everything. You know
that they have a huge impact on the on the body.
But as I say, I was they threw me to

(01:25:36):
Wellington and I can remember it as clear as a bell,
because the Grand Final was rugby day and I was
supposed to be there. I flew over the pack and
I looked down at bloody ground here and I said
to the boys and the crew, I said I should
be down there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
How good to hear from you, Pete. Thanks for it's
a good call. Eighteen past ten. By the way, Bulldogs
four up the kids the roosters that just happened. Also
eighteen past ten, looking for your calls. Catch a thing.
If you're driving up from go medium about, want to
tell us how you thought the performance of the Warriors went.
From what I could say, it's see there are errors
strew in, but you might have a different take from
that one. We're also talking about hospital food from the

(01:26:13):
hospitals you've been to. I'm not entirely sure what the
brief of hospital food is. I guess it's probably to
sustain you and not make you any worse off, I
guess would be the answer. So yeah, And I don't
know how many places have cater as and how many
places have their own kitchens. Marcus, good evening, Just making

(01:26:34):
you and others aware. There have been about fifty boygo
Eraser cars traveling fast and loud north of Foxton on
State Highway One must be off to we are gathering
somewhere the mon and or two regards David, how was
their driving? David? Were there smokies with them? Let me
know or get in touch. Mark's were fortunate have to

(01:26:55):
be one of the only few countries to have free
hospital treatment. And I have, in my experience, have had
good food in Nelson, christ Church and recently in Westport,
and I'm very thankful, Harry. I don't know how many
country have free hospital treatment. I think there'd be quite
a few, wouldn't they. I think there only be a
few that you'd have to pay for it. I thought

(01:27:16):
universal healthcare would be quite common looking at the world
map of that now Canada, Oh yeah, there's only a
couple with private insurance, and there's a lot of countries
with mixed Anyway, that's not important. I take your point, Marcus.
These folks moaning and groaning about the ki they assuve

(01:27:36):
the hospital. I've been and out of hospital over the
last four years with many serious conditions, and I could
never complain. I was so grateful and these mona growners
should just take them in and think about what goes
on in our troubled world. I just know if I
was living in those conditions, i'd be gone years ago,
be grateful to be taken care of. Who knows what
will happen under these clowns. Go the warriors. Yeah, that's

(01:27:57):
a good point. I measured, Beau. You say when the
health system is probably in the situation where people are
consumed that it's going to go close to privatization. Thanks
for that. And if anyone's got any more sightings of
the fifty boy girl races heading north of Livin, Warriors
struggle to beat the eleventh place team, won't win the

(01:28:18):
NNERL although they're gone three rings on a row. I
think they come right. The dragons are not today, But yeah,
I don't know that. I think this end of the season,
with so many injuries, you kind of it all becomes
a bit closer. I think those of the our hospital
has its own kitchen. Thank you for that. At twenty
three past ten lines free now, if you do want
to make the chance to make your statement tonight, come through.

(01:28:39):
Let's be hearing from you tonight here till twelve. My
name's Marcus. Welcome. Do Do Do, Do Do Do? Putin
and Trump. I wonder when Putin's arriving. I'm sure they'll
be shot. I can't see anything yet, but I'll keep
an eye on. That be a big day for Fox
News tomorrow. Any other news that you're finding out, or

(01:29:03):
any other situations happening on the road and anything to
get in touch. Always good to hear from you. As
I say, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty or
nine two nine two text sixty four bulldogs over Sydney
situation there in the league. I don't know what everyone thinks.
Feels very much like spring, doesn't it? Certainly down south
it does. I've read many comments about that today. Anyway,

(01:29:26):
as I say lines three, if you want to partake
in the show about hospital food or about face blindness,
anyone think they've got face blindness when you can't recognize
someone even though there might be someone you know quite well,
because certainly would be taken just as rudeness or arrogance
wouldn't it. So that might be something else we can
talk about. Twenty five past ten o'clock you said it

(01:29:49):
be twenty seven past ten. Marcus Dunedin Hospital doesn't even
have a gluten free toaster. I couldn't believe what I
was told when untoasted bread arrived at breakfast time. Why
would you need a gluten free toaster? Could someone explain
that to me? I was recently in Palmeston North Hospital

(01:30:10):
for eight days. Breakfast was ninety percent sugar and the
only chance of a bit of nutrition was of ordered
porridge or a pottle of canned fruit salad. As a vegan,
I was initially grateful for the canedtle dinner, but many
cannedtle dinners late later was hopeful of a change that
came in the form of a cold baked bean and
half cooked cold baked beans and half cooked ball potato
Nutrition one oh one sick people in need vitamins and protein

(01:30:31):
with a restricted salt and sugar compass may be a
cost saving provider, but they are not meeting nutritional guidelines
by miles, and the powers that be don't seem to care.
It's from Chris who's vegan, having been a nurse, midwife
and working hospital for forty nine years. On the whole,
the food has been really good. The trouble with many

(01:30:52):
patients is they have really ever eaten normal food, a
huge amount of only eaten takeaways and tell us the
roast stews, meat fish with vegetables is not proper food,
and say family will bring in real food, which in
variably as pizza KFC McDonald's. That's from Susie. Well, that's
a text and a half, isn't it? Goodness a lot

(01:31:13):
to download there, Marcus face elitist. Do you recognize yourself?

Speaker 17 (01:31:20):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
And someone says putin swimming over it's quite big. Probably
almost walk over there, and he couldn't walk over now
because it's warmly not freezing. The climbate, isn't it? Once
upon a time there was probably a land bridge. Pretty
fascinating place, Alaska, isn't it. Maybe someone's been to Alaska.
I'm pretty interested at the Yukon River flows so far,
and it goes right. It must come from the lower

(01:31:43):
forty eight and then goes right through Canada and right across.
I don't know if it comes for the law forty eight,
but it appears to in the map that I'm looking at.
But some Kiwis have just won a thousand mile canoeing
race down it, which looked pretty intrepid. So yes, if
you want to mention that too. Always up for travel
stories anyway. Hittil midnight tonight if you want to partake
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty just to recap the

(01:32:04):
Warriors fourteen Dragon's tea. Apparently gluten free needs bread needs
to be cooked in a separate toaster I didn't think
there'd be contamination. I thought gravity would have taken all
the crumbs down. So I'm surprised to see that I'm
not a glutenany I'm not a gluten well, I'm not
a gluten free person. I know what, Yeah, Marcus, gluten

(01:32:25):
free bread has to be toasted a separate toaster from
wheat bread. There wouldn't be any cross examination, would there.
I can think of, how are you going pee? What's happening?
My name is Marcus. Welcome? Oh wait eighty said? The
other lines are free looking forward to what you've got
to say. You might be just winding your way home
from the rugby match. You might want to tell us
about that too. It would be good to hear from. Yet,

(01:32:47):
I didn't see the player in the NRL wearing goggles
look quite good, I thought Mary and Sibby has become
the first player to wear goggles in the NRL. So yeah,
I think you mu have an injury. Yeah, I surgery
to say, as I have to suffering a nasty laceration.

(01:33:08):
So there we go. That's the way that is going.
Eight nineteen ninety six is also about face blindness and
spark are closing two lanes of the Auckland Harbor Bridge
to film a commercial on Sunday morning. How much you
think that would cost them? Why would they need the
harbor bridge for commercial? It's pretty bizarre, isn't it. Twenty

(01:33:30):
eight to eleven, twenty six to eleven, Good evening, All welcome.
I can tell you what's happening to by the way,
for this weekend and beyond. I'll give you the rundown
of what's going on, and i'll get to the text
and your calls if you want to come through. First
and foremost. Jim Steedden's along from twelve that you need
to know. Local government election nomination lists are out. Voting

(01:33:50):
commences Tuesday, nine September. It goes through about four weeks,
so it's a long time for that. So you're about
three weeks to yourself on the roll. I think. So
that's happening the Ara Tarry. The ferry is its last
sailing on the eighteenth of August after twenty six years

(01:34:11):
of service. I'm unsure what happens to it. I haven't
followed that. It'll be somewhere. I don't know. If you
know what's going to happen to it. That would be
of interest to me if it's been sold or unleased
or what happens to it. It's not some research I've
done and now I'm fascinated by that. So if you've
got information about that, that would be interesting. So that's Monday
as the last sailing. I don't know where it goes.

(01:34:34):
I can also tell you that Trump and Putin are
set to meet tomorrow morning. That's happening, and the rugby
in the week and the All Blacks next match is
Argentina on Sunday at nine ten, and I think I
looked up Australia South Africa. I think that'll be a

(01:34:54):
good game. Also, I think that might be the better
of the games. Actually I don't know that actually because
Argentina might be good. I think that's at three ten
in the morning. And the Women's Rugby World Cup will
take place in England between the t when he's seeing
in August of twenty seventh September. So there we go.
That's it. What day it is? It's Hawaiian shirt Day
and Lemon merangue Day this day and fifty nine the

(01:35:17):
Woodstock Music and Art Fair open. That's Woodstock started long
time ago. Now that seems ridiculous. How long ago that is,
like fifty six years ago. Gosh, it won't be long
before we'll be having articles at the last person left
alive that went to Woodstock, which is ironical. They all
seemed so young at the time. Also this day, nineteen

(01:35:40):
forty five, Japan surrendered following the at atomic bombing of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ended the Second World War, And
nineteen fourteen, after some ten years of work, the Panama
Canal opened. A man a plan Panama. Is that the
palindrome a man a plan? Yes it is, and the

(01:36:03):
Warrior is one. That's the most important news. You're back
top four and I think they might stay the top four.
Let me just see who can beat them this weekend.
And so quick look at that because they've updated that.
I just look at the table. Hold your horses, Malcolm,
we were the two ticks are the letter. So no,
the brongers or the sharks can't catch. So we will
be from the top four by the end of the round.

(01:36:24):
Good evening, Malcolm, this is Marcus. Welcome, good good evening.
Have I only yes you are it's Marcus there.

Speaker 4 (01:36:34):
Welcome my experience as a little more hospital for a
couple of admissions in the last two months showing me
that the hospital though is generally very good. Great now
that contrast with my experience many years ago the sixties

(01:37:00):
and seventies. Yeah, I had experience it Waganui based Hospital
and earlier on wake Out Hospital. This is no reflection,
of course, of the current experience of people, as it's

(01:37:20):
just back in industry and the food was poor in
those days.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
How was it different? How was it different, malc And
what's improved?

Speaker 4 (01:37:33):
Well, some of it might have been because I was
very young, and but I can remember certain dishes. One
in particular that Woganui was called spaghetti and daliado, And
as kids often do, they quite like the sweetness of

(01:37:57):
traditional spaghetti. The spaghetti I had there was sort of
and then all sorts of other product ed do it,
and I very much didn't like it. I also used

(01:38:18):
to enjoy marmalade. In the marmalade, my recollection, of course
is said my marmalade was very it was terrible and
it's got me off ever since those days.

Speaker 2 (01:38:34):
Put your marmalade. Yeah, oh what a tragedy. It's a
delicious marmalade.

Speaker 4 (01:38:40):
Yeah, A lot of people like Marmalade. Yeah, I know.
In the sixties and seventies or six more sixties, my
father worked at work at a hospital and the Hamilton
in order to call her orders. So as the older son,

(01:39:03):
which was me from time a time, so he worked
on staff.

Speaker 2 (01:39:09):
Were you as a Were you in there for a
long time?

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
I was there for twelve months, wow, following the lightest
belt at the age of four. And I was there
for several years in and out. And my father noticed
when he came to see me and just had a

(01:39:36):
quick word through it for sat the old passion sash
window that I had been dumping my food out the
window and was pulled up outside and attracted Berlin, and
he thought, well, this can't happen, so he cleaned it

(01:39:57):
up and sort of took steps to make sure that
not only was I sustained in a way that I
I enjoyed, but also I didn't continue my practices dumping
the food out the window.

Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
So what, Malcolm, What a lovely thing that? What a
lovely thing of a dare to do to take a
job there so you could see you each day. That's
quite I'm quite moved by that.

Speaker 4 (01:40:23):
Well, he prejudiced future in order to do that. Yeah,
you know, he was a good man and he did
that solely. So boy, my benefit wow, mutual benefit.

Speaker 2 (01:40:40):
Wow. It's a lovely story.

Speaker 4 (01:40:44):
Yeah. So what I can say, having been in the
middle more for large part of it the last two months,
is that the food is very good.

Speaker 2 (01:40:56):
Okay, appreciate that, Malcolm. Nice to hear from you. Thank you.
There we go Texts two nine ninety two. The interunt
is considering options for the sale of are here after
it's a triument from Karen. Did you know Alaska has
its own Twilight's own triangle of missing aircraft, supposedly one
of the seven devil triangles on our planet? Marcus, I

(01:41:19):
think Trump and Putin could bring Tony Beats in to
bring a ceasefire. Beats gets things done. Gluten free toaster
was one that toasts gluten free bread better than a
non gluten free toaster. Timing onto a different so it
takes longer or less time took any longer in our toast.
He will get it done, Marcus. Trump will be serving

(01:41:41):
up Putin the traditional esque and delicacy big mac Fry's
a diet coke A palindrome. I saw on the chase
this week was a fear of palindromes. This shall be
in our quiz ibo phobia, which is a fear of palindromes.
It's very good. Now, Why did I never hear that?

(01:42:01):
That's a fantastic word. A fear of palindromes. A palindrome
is this word that same backwards and forwards. There aren't many.
There aren't many. That makes sense, the ibophobia and then interesting,
I don't know how it's pronounced. I was trying to
get a pronunciation guide for it. Welcome people if you

(01:42:23):
want to talk Marcxtill twelve for a moving show tonight. Actually,
ibophobia a palindrome contained the suffix phobia with its reverse spelling.
It's been around since nineteen seventy seven, so it's a
recent word deliberately constructed to be a palindrome. Yes, first repeat.

(01:42:44):
In response to a national challenge in a newspaper column,
the challenge was to invent a phobia. Quite good, I'm
up for that. Fifteen to twelve eleven. I'm bead with time, Dave,
and I've lost that skill where you wouldn't call it
a skill, really would you? In my hobby career I'm
being touch people. Welcome. My name's about money. Is still midnight?

(01:43:08):
Hospital food is a topic tonight. We struggled for a
topic tonight. It wasn't It didn't come out naturally the
topic some nights in the hobby career turn your mike
on a ten past eight and that he calls all night.
But you know, it's not every day you get a
topic like that. But tonight we're onto hospital food, which
I haven't really experienced luckily. But yeah, but I imagine

(01:43:33):
that's right. Imagine a lot of people just used to
take aways and just want those bought in. Sin's what
people are saying. Look, why was I I'm asking about
Princess Anne today? But she is seventy five, I think
the lest interesting of all the royals. But yes, I'm
not seeing anyone use about her. Anyway, Do come through

(01:43:54):
if you want to partake or talk. I'm still waiting
for someone to driving home for the warriors to give
me their ey would's account of what that was like.
So if you got something to say about that, that's good. Also, um, yes, anyway,
fourteen to eleven. By the way, that no one I'm

(01:44:14):
none the wiser about a gluten toaster. Do you need
a gluten toaster for the bread or is it just
for contempor Could someone explain gluten toasters to me? I
don't know what a gluten bread toaster. I've had two
contradicting texts. I don't know if a gluten bread toaster
is because otherwise you get crumbs from gluten bread and
I'll kill you. I'm joking. I mean, I shouldn't minimize it,

(01:44:37):
but you know what I mean. Or in fact it's
because the gluten needs different settings. None the Wiser Dunstan
Hospital and Clyde has the best hospital food ever and
they have a gluten free toaster. Why could a hospital food? Awesome?
Can send photos to Marcus Lush Knights, fine but no thanks,
but good on you, Marcus. I want to share with

(01:44:58):
you the taste is gluten free bread that I eat
that doesn't need to be toasted. It's so yummy as
a sandwich, live joy, loaf, Sam, thank you and then
with a rainbow. Could to be gluten toaster, gluten toaster
or gluten free toaster? I mean, because I'm struggling with that. People.
By the way, ten away from eleven o'clock tonight, he's
even got face blindness where you can't recognize faces. You

(01:45:20):
might want to comment about your Smeg brazier or the
other thing you're forced to get because you couldn't get
a brazier. That's of interest. It's all of interest to
me tonight. And you're hitting home for the warriors, that's
of interest. But do get and the final of Master
Chef a lot of people watching that there could be
of interest to tonight. So yeah, what do you got? People?

(01:45:41):
Come on, light me up, get me what you got.
There might be something entirely different. I'll take all your
calls tonight. Do come through and make yourself knowing and
let's see how we go. You might be out there
doing something interesting tonight. I don't know what interesting is
at this time of the night. We've had our obligatory
Uber driving tonight, who was very good showing how little

(01:46:02):
restaurants get paid for Uber. I imagine if you're restaurant,
it's pumping though that those costs, the percentage costs going
to Oubo woud come down that God only done eight orders.
So yep, that's what we're right about. Eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty The results from sport for tonight. Oh look,
is look litter starting already tonight? Is it on the TV?

Speaker 4 (01:46:24):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
Who do you play? Luke Littler played Mark Cleaver in
the darts He won six' four so he's going to
be a good weekend of darts there. That's on the TV.
It's also a lot of sport this weekend. No New
Zealand has won so far tonight and Sydney fourteen six
up against the Dogs. That's going against Form South and

(01:46:48):
Staggs tremendous win twenty nine twenty two over mn O
two and the Warriors fourteen Dragons ten as at work.
Obviously I don't see the full game, but I'll imagine
that the commentariot would say they were lucky to win
because there was some Yeah, they're playing the wet there
was some drop scene and some all sorts of stuff.

(01:47:09):
But no one can explain gluten free toasters to me.
Thank you, Susie the Midwife. I enjoyed that text. That
brings a lot of things close to me. On the girl,
Girl and Boy races heading north above Levin because that's
kind of where they had that trouble last time, wasn't it. Yeah, Rick,
this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:47:28):
Hey buddy, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:47:30):
Rape You've been to the Warriors?

Speaker 20 (01:47:34):
Yep, yep, we're just driving home now, just finished in.
Oh wow, that was and now by there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
I tell you, I mean, I mean Fisher Harris got
a sillep penalty in the beginning too. I mean there
was there was a lot of things they could have
done better. Would that be right?

Speaker 20 (01:47:52):
Oh, oh, definitely, Yeah. Fisher Harris had a bit of
a shocker in that first half. Yeah, roped the ball
a few times, and yeah, I mean the second half
they definitely, they definitely picked themselves up. But yeah, a
lot of silly mistakes, but they could play like that
against the top four.

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
No, it was not was there jew or something? Was
it slippery because it seemed like it was just there
was some real errors.

Speaker 20 (01:48:15):
Yeah, I mean we were sitting quite up to high
in the nosebleedves but you know, I guess it was
a bit dewey.

Speaker 9 (01:48:21):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:48:23):
And there were a lot of crowd shops. I saw
a lot of crowd shots with after the ref with
people complaining were some is it like the refs of
old with some dodgy calls against the Warriors. Or is
it just is it just a loyal crowd the way
they behave Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:48:37):
That always happens, okay, okay, yeah, it always happens. But yeah,
some of the calls went went by the way, some
of the calls in our way. Yeah, but all in all,
it was it was good to see them have a
win at home.

Speaker 2 (01:48:50):
But three of the Dragons went off with head knocks
and didn't come back or went off with injuries. And
imagine if they hadn't gone off, it could have been
a different result, right, Yeah, it could have been.

Speaker 20 (01:48:59):
And if we if we'd held the ball, it could
have you know, could have could have been different as well.
So you know, it was just one of those nights.
But yeah, I saw.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
Alisi did a silly kick on a fourth tackle.

Speaker 6 (01:49:12):
Two.

Speaker 2 (01:49:12):
There was a couple of things I thought that that
the coach killers. A couple of things they did thought well,
it probably wasn't the smartest stuff or part of the
game plan.

Speaker 20 (01:49:20):
Yeah, definitely. Yeah, And a couple of times closed the
outside again so yeah, okay, a couple of the areas
they need to tidy up. But hey, we're driving home
with a winter Okay.

Speaker 11 (01:49:29):
Are you not?

Speaker 2 (01:49:30):
You're not going to total On or you're not going
far away? Are you a close person?

Speaker 11 (01:49:33):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:49:33):
No, no, Flatbush?

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
And when are you back next for them?

Speaker 4 (01:49:36):
Rick?

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
Are you back? Are you a season ticket holder?

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
Ah?

Speaker 20 (01:49:40):
No, No, we just we just do the odd one
here and there when we get some tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:49:44):
Okay, So there's a couple more home matches before the end,
isn't there.

Speaker 20 (01:49:48):
Yeah, I know there's the Eels. I can't remember the
other one, but I know that Heels are playing at home.

Speaker 2 (01:49:53):
Okay, So the faithfuler Becker tell you what they must
tell A lot of merchandise because they're all in the kit,
aren't they.

Speaker 20 (01:49:59):
Oh yeah, the merchant We went in just you know before,
about an hour before, and it was quite empty. By
the time we came out, it was packed. So yeah,
they all right.

Speaker 2 (01:50:08):
Nice to talk, Rick, thanks for the update. To appreciate
that New World ran out of the stock the day before.
I present my ticket. Really annoyed me, but then he
had much please to be in giving my booklet to
a young couple at the checkout. I was some with
I was in a cafe and someone went to pay
and they all their.

Speaker 4 (01:50:28):
All.

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
There are all the New World stickers fell onto the
floor in a long strap. I just said, they're not
going to want those, are they They're not worth anything.
But I see the woman next to me jumped up
and handed them back to him. I just said, oh, well,
it's probably. You know, sometimes you sometimes you just want
to get rid of it. I shouldn't say the sometimes
you got just want to get rid of something, so
you just drop it and pretend it's an accident. Ever

(01:50:50):
had that happen and there's something run and chase you
and tap your tay you've dropped something. Often when you
pick up a paper it's full of insearchs. You just
let them fall out. Anyway, I'll get in trouble for
saying that. Still, no one really knows what a gluten
free toaster is, Marcus. It's vj DA eighty. Since you
it's Victor Averager Pan, that's right. I didn't mention that
you don't buy a special gluten free toaster. You just

(01:51:12):
have a normal toaster and just use it for a
person who can't have normal toast. You can also get
a pocket type thinging can put the gluten free toast
in and use a normal toaster. Marcus, a gluten free
toaster as a toaster that has a gluten free button
on it, as gluten free bread needs longer in a
toaster as the bread has moisture in it. You see
two contradicting thoughts there. Youngster try to steal my car

(01:51:32):
hot wide, but couldn't drive it as a manual, So
there's still argument about what gluten is gluten free toasters,
how to avoid cross contamination from breads containing gluten tinym
it's to glutenharmen people with Cooley Celiac disease. Just on
my way home from work. I'm a teacher. If you're
not working nine to three like many think. The National
Fiada film Fits was on this weekend. We are rostered
on to support the school team who competes such a

(01:51:55):
great annual competition. I bet they'll fill me. You'll be
part of it. Good evening, BIGGM. I'd rather have Princess
Anne any day than Prince Andrew. Yeah, what a grub.

Speaker 4 (01:52:04):
He is.

Speaker 2 (01:52:06):
A sweepstake on the Premier League, which starts this week
and may get the last hour rocking twenty team's no
prize needed. By the way, I've just realized the during
that news breaks, the Rabbits on the trampoline. That's ai.
I didn't know that someone had posted it all the wow,
that was amazing about a week. I've never actually had
the follow up the day. It's impossible to tell now,
isn't it so viral videos will mat Yeah, how would

(01:52:28):
you tell what a real one is? Anyway you might
have seen that's quite cute, the rabbits on the tramp
but yeah, it's made up. Eight past eleven, Katie, it's
Marcus Good evening, Yes, hello, Marcus, how are you good?
Thank you? Katie on Mastershift.

Speaker 13 (01:52:43):
Tonight, Moral one. It's the fourth time she's been in
it and Callum got second is over the years she's
been in it four times and this is the first
time she won. The guy got second Callum and she
gets two hundred and forty grand And it was lovely.

(01:53:06):
All the families were there, the children and their wives
and mothers were all there for the finale and it
was quite emotional.

Speaker 2 (01:53:14):
So this isn't Australia right.

Speaker 13 (01:53:17):
Yes. The only thing is it's been on for weeks.
It's almost taken a bit long to get from when
it started. This bebouts two months ago and it's finished
to night. But it was a very very good series.

Speaker 2 (01:53:33):
So tell me something, Tell me something, Katie. Do you
get to go on it more than once?

Speaker 13 (01:53:39):
Yeah, you're allowed to. They missed and they go on
the next time. Yes, Laura has been on it four times.

Speaker 2 (01:53:46):
I had no idea you could go on it more
than once. That seems wrong.

Speaker 13 (01:53:49):
Oh he is here, Well, Laura has, and so she
was very emotional and she gets two hundred and fifty
grand And the guy that got second, they gave him
forty thousand. And then the guy that had got third
in it last night they gave him Ustle was just
ten thousands. The judges, have you seen the program?

Speaker 2 (01:54:10):
Yes, a long time ago.

Speaker 13 (01:54:12):
Oh, you really missed an amazing program.

Speaker 4 (01:54:17):
Judges.

Speaker 2 (01:54:18):
I'm at work, I know.

Speaker 9 (01:54:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:54:22):
Because they've had trouble with the judges, haven't they. There
seems to be a curse. But they've got good judges now.

Speaker 6 (01:54:27):
Have they.

Speaker 13 (01:54:28):
Yes, yes, absolutely gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Of course they have
the SATs the World that died.

Speaker 2 (01:54:36):
Oh, yes, that's right. They're Italian, that's right, yes, yes,
And they have.

Speaker 13 (01:54:41):
A French judge on two who was very funny because
he's got to learn all the Australian ways and he's lovely.
It was a very good program.

Speaker 2 (01:54:53):
How many years would have that be? How many series
has it been? Katie?

Speaker 13 (01:54:58):
How do you mean how many series this particular series?

Speaker 4 (01:55:01):
Know?

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
How many different times? How many different series over the
years of Mastership have they done well?

Speaker 13 (01:55:07):
I'm not sure, but I say Laura has been in
it four times.

Speaker 2 (01:55:10):
I can't believe that.

Speaker 13 (01:55:14):
Some of the other people have been in several times
as well, all striving to win. It's an amazing program.

Speaker 2 (01:55:22):
You should go on it. You should go on it.

Speaker 13 (01:55:26):
Yeah, you could be a judge.

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
You which you should be on it? Katie? Not a yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:55:33):
Nor am I?

Speaker 4 (01:55:33):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:55:33):
Katie?

Speaker 14 (01:55:34):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:55:34):
Live it eleven, Live and Live and to live and
live in My name is Marcus. Welcome. I still haven't
resolved this about the toaster for gluten. No one seems
to know. Some say gluten Breandan is a special toaster
because it's moisture content, so anything goes in the final
how the more the myria, the gluten, the hospital food,
the face blindness, and the warriors and the stags.

Speaker 11 (01:56:00):
It's all on.

Speaker 2 (01:56:01):
There's other topics. I can't remember what they are. Is
a text gutted, she said, the winner of Marsters. She
if I was waiting to watch the final tomorrow. Oh
that's heartbreaking, isn't it. Yeah, well she did give you
a warning. I think I think she probably said that
was I think it was clear what she said was
going to be. I think she was amping up to

(01:56:23):
tell us the winner, Marcus. The season was called back
to Win Marcus. The series of Master was called back
to When every few is ever a series where people
come back for another go. It was a third appearance,
not fourth for Laura, who was the winner. She wonder
if your cooking had got better or the standards just
dropped For Laura, gluten free toast definite needs more time.

(01:56:47):
But they also have separate goodle free toasters and fries
to stop cross contamination.

Speaker 9 (01:56:52):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:56:53):
That's all about that too. Tonight, get in touch, Come
on twelve past eleven, head on midnight. Anything goes for
this final. Now we just keep it bright tight and
real hospital food and face blindness and the warriors, and
you know, we make me go through the topics again,
know them. There might be something else that you want
to pine about. That's good. Seventeen years and Laura has
never been the winter till tonight. Oh tell Laura, that's

(01:57:15):
fantastic for her shaping a little shboogie cafe. Will she
Laura has been in Masterief three times. In this series
were called back to wins, so many old contestants were
ask to return. I accidentally found out on Facebook the
winner because Australia had finished. That's terrible when you find
that out, don't you. They should play them on the

(01:57:36):
same night. I reckon to avoid that risk. I've been
enjoying Lego Masters with the family. That's good. The World
Champs if we're good that Hamish he is a good host.
The Kiwi women didn't do very well, but they yeah,
they went bad with their octopus the arm look too. Wheey.

(01:57:57):
It's a good program. Actually, the Scandinavian countries and the
Chinese are quite good with Lego. The Americans and the
Canadians were terrible first to go. It was heartbreaking. So yes,
I know a lot about Lego inspired us to get
the Lego out. We've got three peddling pools of Lego
of the lounges at the moment, we've got a lot

(01:58:17):
of Lego. We had to get peddling pools to put
it all in a lot of lego, almost too much lego.
I made an extremely good shark. It was so good
I quit. That's how good it was. Thought, I'm not
going to better that. Good evening. Christus is Marcus welcome?
Hey Marcus, a you Chris good, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:58:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:58:40):
I saw work in the hospital Kission back in Dunedin,
back in the two thousands, early two thousands. Yes, and
oh we had a we had an executive chef come
in and she was wonderful. She her Her whole idea
was she wanted to make the food really nice for

(01:59:03):
the patients, and she changed everything quite She went through
this whole regime of reado and the menu and making
us care about what we're putting out and stuff like that.
And I think it must have been yeah, early two thousands,
mid two thousands. I'm not sure what the government time

(01:59:25):
was around then, but yeah, it was just working there.
It felt really good. There was like a really like
a family atmosphere and everyone actually the way she conveyed
what she wanted to do. She worked all around the
world as a chef, you know, she was quite high

(01:59:48):
up in a lot of places, and she wanted the
patients to feel good through the food.

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
And stuff like that, and so she had real passion, yes,
and that.

Speaker 16 (02:00:00):
Passion conveyed back onto us. It came back onto us.
We even had a pastry chef, the headcock was there
for many many years and it was a real family
atmosphere and we all sort of want we all had
a passion about the food that we put out. And
I think that's been lost and so.

Speaker 2 (02:00:22):
Now it's all caters, is that right? Compass catering, Is
that right?

Speaker 16 (02:00:25):
I think Dan's compass for a long time now. A
lot of people lost their jobs down there.

Speaker 2 (02:00:31):
A couple of questions, you know, how many meals you
were doing? How many meals you're doing a day?

Speaker 16 (02:00:36):
Oh, I couldn't remember out so long ago.

Speaker 8 (02:00:39):
Thousands?

Speaker 2 (02:00:40):
Yeah, And how many staff would have been there?

Speaker 16 (02:00:43):
There there hundreds because because we're also we're also doing
the meals for the staff gift area as well. So
it was good enough for the start to eat, for
the doctors and the nurses as well. So there was
a thing. The food was good enough that the patients
could eat and the staff would eat. And you know

(02:01:04):
what I mean, so complained about it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:07):
Was there a price per meal they had to stick
to with it was it were you across those decisions?

Speaker 4 (02:01:13):
No, I wasn't.

Speaker 16 (02:01:14):
No, I was too young to know about you know,
I was too flow on the yeah hierarchy to know
that sort of stuff. But but but what but what
she was was beautiful. I liked that whole ethos of
if the patients have good food, and don't they they
know that they're having good food, and just yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (02:01:39):
It was beautiful, beauties and beautius to know the health
outcomes then as opposed to now. But I guess they'll
probably hide that data.

Speaker 16 (02:01:47):
Yeah, that's not something that could be quantified.

Speaker 2 (02:01:50):
Really well, they got it quantifying thing, So you're not
you're obviously not like a working no longer as this right.

Speaker 16 (02:01:56):
No, it was long, long years, twenty years ago now. Yeah,
but no, I think it might It might have just
been that one sort of snapshot in time where it's
maybe four or five years where they are going through
that and then all of a sudden, compass came through
and I think it destroyed the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (02:02:15):
So yeah, nice to hear from you, Chris, Thank you.
Eighteen past eleven. I use an ordinary toast of for
gluten free bread, and they've done for years with no problem.
Most gluten free bread needs to be toasted because it's
horrible as a sandwich. Gluten free bread is improving. You
can now get bread which is as good as a sandwich.
Middlemoor's gluten free wheels are not good. Great show. Gluten

(02:02:36):
free toaster is simple, just a toaster, but like all
things gluten it costs three times as much. There was
a great win by South this night after being down
twenty two and a half time. What an impressive fireworks
display they're putting afterwards for a big crowd. Yes, there's
been two good games there too. The first game we
got ten thousand that that was Antler's up with the

(02:02:57):
stag Day or whatever. It was a good match. The
food trucks came and it was great. Kids loved it.
We went back tonight witho Vanessa took the kids and
some other I think she'd said it was freezing, took
the wrong San Dree. Anyway, do you get in touch.
You're on to talk maccas still twelve oh eight hundred

(02:03:17):
and eighty ten eighty and nine to text, Thanks so
much to the call of your sport by night who
said who won Masters Chief? I start looking forward to
watching tomorrow night as we're not able to tonight? Well,
she did? I mean it was? She was angling towards Cass,
saying who what I mean?

Speaker 4 (02:03:37):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (02:03:37):
She didn't come straight through and say such Laura? When did?
She was quite quick? Was it okay? I apologize? It
was quite quick?

Speaker 4 (02:03:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:03:44):
Well, I had been saying all night. You might have
watched the end of Master Chief, so give us a holler.
So's you can't. It's hard with spoiler alerts.

Speaker 4 (02:03:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:03:54):
I haven't watched them alone tonight. Either that's what I
meant to watch alone or is alive? What's what I like?
Dan's a live or alone? I don't ever remember. It's terrible.
There's nothing to eat in Africa. I allowed to eat
the giraffe. They're able to eat the war hogs. And
the woman's too weak to pull her arrow back anyway.
Laura's won, Laura, Laura, Laura, Laura who won Masters? Yeft

(02:04:16):
Laura Laura Laura third time lucky. Now everyone knows. Sometimes
it's fun. Sometimes it's fun watching things knowing that one
I need, that you might have got it wrong. I've
often been in those sorts of spaces. Twenty past eleven,
good evening, Jen, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 4 (02:04:33):
Hi.

Speaker 17 (02:04:34):
Did Marcus you sound like you've got a cold?

Speaker 4 (02:04:36):
God?

Speaker 10 (02:04:37):
Do? I?

Speaker 4 (02:04:38):
Yeah? Block?

Speaker 2 (02:04:39):
No, No, I'm not doing too badly actually, but anyway.

Speaker 17 (02:04:45):
That's good. I was wondering if anyone's told the police
that those races where they're hitting him prepared them. Snow
they can cut them off.

Speaker 4 (02:04:59):
Well.

Speaker 2 (02:05:00):
I didn't say they were speeding though, did that wasn't
They just seemed like a convoy of people driving in together,
which is probably not illegal.

Speaker 17 (02:05:07):
But speeding and and anyway that I guess the police will.

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
Yes, that's the job, isn't it.

Speaker 17 (02:05:17):
Yes, Yes, I think it's good as they get warmed
because it's got to be like hundreds of police sort
of things.

Speaker 6 (02:05:26):
Yes, see you.

Speaker 17 (02:05:29):
And they do you start up's seeing rubber burning and stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:05:33):
Goodness, you've done. You've a burnout?

Speaker 4 (02:05:37):
Jen?

Speaker 2 (02:05:38):
I have you done a burnout? Not deliberately, it's a
good answer. Have you got face? Have you got face?
Have you got face blindness?

Speaker 17 (02:05:55):
Yes? Yes, you can't even see my own face? Okay,
well yeah, I have to sort of memorize people's shapes.
I can see that your body, your body shape, but
I can't see faces.

Speaker 2 (02:06:11):
Oh, is your sight going, it's gone?

Speaker 17 (02:06:16):
Have gone? Not completely? Dots or no, that's spider bite
the venom. Yeah, and then I got a detached retina
and my left eye. I've been doing healing and I
think that venom is wear enough.

Speaker 2 (02:06:38):
Yes, And so I can see the.

Speaker 17 (02:06:41):
Light when it's on, and I can see the outline
of the TV and the movement and the TV. So
I'm hopeful it'll come back. I'm doing hands on healing
on my eyes and it's working quite well.

Speaker 2 (02:06:59):
Hands on healing.

Speaker 17 (02:07:01):
Yeah, I put my hands on my on my eyes.
Then just wait for the heeling to go in here.

Speaker 2 (02:07:12):
Have you have you sought any professional advice?

Speaker 6 (02:07:16):
Oh? Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:07:18):
They wanted to operate on my left side and detached greatness,
But they have to stick a needle into the eyeball
and I couldn't handle it.

Speaker 2 (02:07:30):
Because you've got to be alive. You've got to be alive.
You've gotta be awake when they You've gotta be awake
when they do it, don't.

Speaker 17 (02:07:34):
You You can be alive.

Speaker 2 (02:07:42):
Okay, I'll let you go. Yeah, I've cheered you.

Speaker 9 (02:07:44):
I'm off you go.

Speaker 6 (02:07:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):

That's right.

Speaker 21 (02:10:31):
Good, just bringing up tesday. That lady that rang up
before that was worried about going in to the into
the get her eye done. The needle in the eye
is nothing. I've had it done twice.

Speaker 2 (02:10:50):
I'm sure if you think about it would freak you
out though, wouldn't it.

Speaker 9 (02:10:53):
Nope?

Speaker 21 (02:10:54):
Nope, So they can they can give you a local
and that's it. You don't feel a thing, do.

Speaker 2 (02:11:05):
You said it coming to would your eye?

Speaker 4 (02:11:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (02:11:09):
But I had a cataract done last year and I
had another cataract done in June, and no, it's nothing. Well,
I got the cataracts that was half and half an
there and the the old cataract was out and the

(02:11:30):
new cataract and the new I think the you see
me in.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
The I wean and that was it wasn't that wasn't polkinghorn?
Was it during the operation? No, no, no done, okay,
of course yeah, and the hit where he worked. Okay, brilliant.

Speaker 4 (02:11:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (02:11:49):
No, you don't worry about it, you know, it's only
you can't.

Speaker 2 (02:11:53):
Some people are prone to worry. And I think she's
got her own healing abilities, Jane. I think she can
do her own healing stuff. Yeah, but it seems to
be a slow effex slow men.

Speaker 21 (02:12:03):
There was nothing worse. There was nothing worse than getting
it around the crook eye. I can imagine because I
I when I was first diagnosed, I was I wasn't
allowed to drive for six months.

Speaker 2 (02:12:15):
You would have been, right, wouldn't you. Ah?

Speaker 21 (02:12:18):
No, I couldn't dry, but I couldn't even watch TV,
read the paper or anything. Lucky then they did the
first eye and I just see. Then I said I
could read and read and read Tell, read papers and
books and magazines and watch Telly again.

Speaker 2 (02:12:38):
Okay, Oh that's very freeing. Okay. Oh, good to hear
from you, and that's good advice. Thank you. Uh Marcus.
I'm here as a patient in north Shore hospitalker with
the fit is very good. The choice of meetings with
the quality ingredients, all well cooked and get to the
dividuals your patients. I'm in the New Tootra Mother and
Nui blocker, a single room with on tweet bathroom just
like a hotel staff for amazing Allen. I have kedaracts.

(02:12:59):
When I go out in the sun, it all looks misty.
I thought it was the myst coming off the ground
or a seamus, but I was wrong. Hello Trish, this
is Marcus wellcome. Oh hi.

Speaker 13 (02:13:09):
I wanted to just.

Speaker 11 (02:13:11):
Say about my experience having injections in my eyes to
give this lady perhaps more impetus to go and have
who's done. I had a complaint im necular generation in
the eyes and I had needles in them every fortnight.

(02:13:32):
Now you don't feel it because they put drops in
your eyes. I find the drops more difficult to handle
than the injections, and I had that done for months.

Speaker 17 (02:13:43):
Now.

Speaker 11 (02:13:43):
I don't have their complaint now, but I urge her
to go and have it done. It's absolutely nothing to it.
It's I say, they drop drops in your eyes and
then they just pick up the needle and you don't
feel it because they numb the eyes.

Speaker 2 (02:14:03):
So she just sits there at home when she visualizes
a needle coming towards your eye, know nothing like that.
It must be something like that, because how else do
they do it?

Speaker 11 (02:14:17):
Well, why is she looking for the needle?

Speaker 14 (02:14:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:14:21):
But I mean if you can't help, but look at
what's coming towards your eye? Can you'd see it, wouldn't you?

Speaker 11 (02:14:27):
Well, I know you understand. All I'm saying is you
Ire went every fortnight and had needles in my eyes
and it was a piece of cake.

Speaker 2 (02:14:38):
But you know there's talkback callers. Trust you can't talk
sense into them.

Speaker 4 (02:14:42):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (02:14:43):
These talkback callers? You can't talk sense into them. They
just do what they want. You can't change the beliefs.

Speaker 13 (02:14:48):
Can't you.

Speaker 11 (02:14:49):
I just wanted to help you.

Speaker 2 (02:14:51):
I want to take her along and drag around and say,
I mean, she can't even seek.

Speaker 11 (02:14:57):
I can't mean lookause I'm healed now like I expecting,
so worried about didn't have them?

Speaker 2 (02:15:06):
Well they it's the story of life. Everything you worry
about never happens. Jan true. If she can't see this,
can't see the shape of the TV, she won't see
the needle coming, will she?

Speaker 4 (02:15:17):
Well?

Speaker 2 (02:15:17):
No, good thought, yes, that is a good point, But
no telling you that. No changing a talkback caller's mind
when they're said on something like a difficult teenager. Ah,
welcome people, if you want to get in touch. What
about this gluten toaster. We haven't really solved that, which

(02:15:38):
is annoying. I'd like to solve that, Marcus. I get
iron injections every four weeks and both eyes that can
read better. They have for ten years. It's been getting
in them for every year now. And they clamp the
eye they do. It's pain free. Someone Ronnie says, I
thought you went to a sick iotrist to have your
eyes fixed. Sick iotrist. Good, It would only work. We're

(02:16:03):
we're talking about getting your eyes fixed. It wouldn't be
anying else because it requires quite a bit of work
to get that joke, just saying twenty two to twelve
Textas says Marcus, light of the night must be if
she can't see the TV, she won't see the needle coming. Well,
it feels feel free there. At least the smoke alarms
have stopped beeping. I can't hear those anymore, Marcus. About

(02:16:25):
three years ago I messaged z'd be about the food
at hospital. I spent about six weeks there and the
rue food was about one point short of excellent. Two
months earlier this year and the food was a little
short of disgusting, A lot of rice. Hospital Unit of retirement,
Hospital Unit retirement home. Now food at dinner quite bland.
Main meal is lunch roast three to four times a week.
Overall not too bad. Marcus owned. My cataract removed last year.

(02:16:49):
All done by drops, no needles. Your pupils told I, Lad,
you don't see a thing. They cover the other eyes,
so painless. We're gone from face blindness to cataracts. But
what we really want to know, and the point I
wanted to make is what about what about when you
get a cup of coffee from a and you've got
a Jeffer or something that's next to or and it

(02:17:10):
just melts. Makes it mean you don't like it at all? Anyway?
Marcus read the gluten free toaster. I think it's a type.
It's supposed to mean, gluten free toast bread is in
the thickness. No, these people want No one knows what
a gluten free toaster is. So yes, get in touch.
You want to talk about that a gluten free toaster

(02:17:31):
is just a normal toaster dedicated toasting gluten free bread
and rest times. We have one that we only use
for gluten free bread chef stew, although others have said
there's a special toaster because it needs different settings because
the bread is quite moist. What's gluten free bread made from.

Speaker 20 (02:17:48):
It?

Speaker 2 (02:17:48):
Mushrooms? Marcus. I'm getting injections in my eyes every four years.
For the every four weeks for the last two years,
a head injury caused the loss of sight in one eye.
You get anesthetic drops pro, you sit in a dentist chair,
wipe the eye with id. You look up, then down
as they slip a tiny pisted cup under the eyelid. Ooh,
then put the you don't see it and philipsite. Nothing
all done. Within minutes you lost to me a tiny

(02:18:11):
plastic cup under the eyelids. Goodness, I just had the
carriage to go back to the dentist because the dnnis
I went to he said, you got a fly. So
I flossed and flossed and flossed. Then he retired what
am I supposed to do? What I was to ask?
Looking forward and rewarding me for flossing now he's gone.
It's like, well, Flip, you could have told me you

(02:18:31):
were leaving. It wouldn't have flossed anyway. Read the kid
in the dentists because he chipped his tooth and they said,
you want to fill it now the kid. I said, well,
the kid's got tooth autonomy. What do you want to do?
He said no, wait, so there we go. I didn't
know they could fill it in so soon fell on
the slide. Think he's going out to the slide the
wrong way, so we'd lushes. Don't got the slide the
wrong way anyway. Welcome to it if you want to talk.

(02:18:53):
He Tel twelve oh, eight hundred and eighty nine to
detext anything goes for the final go round. You're looking
forward to it if you want to come through carn
It's Marcus.

Speaker 9 (02:19:04):
Hello, Marcus, you talking about eyes this evening? I thought
you if you didn't already know about it, Lasik eye surgery.
I had that procedure done about a feen years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:19:15):
Yeah, I've heard the commercials.

Speaker 9 (02:19:18):
Yeah I had a great experience. My mum's partner had
done as well, and both of us had great experience.
And yeah, I've got like I've never had any problems.
Since I've got twenty twenty visions, I can't remember if
I was short or fast. It was the one where
things are distance were a bit blurry.

Speaker 2 (02:19:38):
And they just they just reshaate the retina, do they, I.

Speaker 9 (02:19:43):
Think the cornea at the back of the eye. So
they use a couple of different lasers. They use one
to make the incision on the I Obviously you go
in for all the prerequisite stuff, and they use some
diagnostic tools to sort of look at the back of
the eye and get a bit of a map of
what it looks like and essentially map out what they

(02:20:04):
need to do with the laser to do the procedure.
And then when you go in, you sort of get
the eye drops put in that numb your eyes. A
few minutes later, once that's kicked and you go through
into a room, and the whole thing only takes less
than two minutes. I think one I took about forty
seconds and one I took about fifty seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:20:26):
I hadn't got authority. They only do to do one
eye because if one eye happens in the other one
or correct itself.

Speaker 9 (02:20:33):
I was not informed of that. No, they it they
did say a budget was a was a concern for
certain people that can't afford to you know, potentially do
to it at the same time. Then they recommend, you know,
you can do one and then do another. But yeah,
I had a really good experience with it, and it
seems to have lasted lasted quite well. I haven't had

(02:20:55):
any issues since and got really good version now, so
pretty wrap with that. It's amazing when you go in
the machines and the tools and stuff that they have,
it feels like you've stepped into something and the space
station or a sci fi movie. These big devices that
come over the eye and the team that sort of
work on it. But yeah, in and out so quickly,

(02:21:15):
and the recovery time is, you know, about twenty four hours.
You just go home afterwards and they put these big
fly eye kind of plastic things of your eyes and
tape them down and then you just pretty much go
to sleep for the rest of the day and night,
wake up the next day, go in, they take them off,
and you're all good to go. They just say, don't
like dive into water for the next week or do

(02:21:37):
anything sort of you know, go play rugby or anything
for the next week. And you'll be all right. So yeah,
pretty cool guys here.

Speaker 2 (02:21:43):
If you can't thank you old your horses people forty
to twelve, oh waite, hundred eighty seventy people. If you
want to talk Marcus till twelve, do come through if
you want to talk. Before the end. We've gone from
hospital food to ejections into injection and eyes. So that's
what we are on about tonight. If you want to
add to that, embrace you with that, get in touch,

(02:22:05):
as I say at eighty say nineteen nine to the text,
looking forty in put seven away from twelve. Hello, James, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 12 (02:22:17):
Okay Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 2 (02:22:18):
Are you good? James good?

Speaker 12 (02:22:21):
Yeah, Oh look, I'm probably about half the age of
most of your cause I've been through an eye op.
I went through one, and I don't trusted me at all.
They come at you with eye drops and everything gets
very numb and blurry and looks like a nineteen thirties film,
and then you don't feel that. I actually snapped a

(02:22:42):
selfie of me in that state and it looked like
I've been at Glastonbury for three or four days. And
then and then the ops over very quickly and you
don't feel all see a thing, particularly and particularly if
she's really not seeing the shape of the telly. If
they put the drops in her, then lord knows what
she'd be experiencing. But it's not going to be any detail, no, is.

Speaker 2 (02:23:05):
It all done? There is the done by human handle
by machine. I suppose you couldn't see.

Speaker 12 (02:23:11):
To be honest, it was a bit frankinstinnyan by the
time that they put the drops in and everything went
a bit bluurry, and and they tell me to relax
and trust me. They they in the end they told
me that it was something that frustratingly they called idiopathic something,
something which they eventually explained as the irritable bowel syndrome

(02:23:31):
of the eye world which they knew what it was,
but couldn't really tell me what it was. And I
send on my way after about an hour of trying
to put myself together and be able to see again
or wait for my wife to pick me up. Wow, yes,
but it's not a concern.

Speaker 4 (02:23:49):
You know.

Speaker 12 (02:23:49):
The drops are amazing. I feel a thing.

Speaker 2 (02:23:52):
I just can't work out how you could do that
with a human hand, to actually do operation within the eyeball.
It just that's because you couldn't do it with a
scalpel because you'd require too much hand. There'd be something. Yeah,
it does amaze me.

Speaker 12 (02:24:07):
No, there was definitely machines involved. Yeah, and it was
reassuringly steady.

Speaker 2 (02:24:13):
Okay, and it's worked.

Speaker 6 (02:24:16):
Yeah, yeah, well.

Speaker 12 (02:24:17):
Yeah, I mean to be honest. The magic healing hair brush,
I've certainly years. In fact, I'm using that at the
moment to dieal agt and eight because I've had quite
a late night at a restaurant and you've put one
hand over one eye and suddenly you get twenty twenty
out of the other one.

Speaker 2 (02:24:31):
Good James, nice to hear from you. If you want
to be the final call, you can. Otherwise I'll talk
it out. I'll talk to the pips. We don't call
them that anymore. Do you want to talk about needles
and eyes? God? All my baking is grain free, which
is also gluten free and check GPT. I've just discovered
can provide foolproof recipes.

Speaker 4 (02:24:51):
Ha.

Speaker 2 (02:24:52):
It's a good thing to do, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (02:24:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:24:55):
How many hours until just Trump on truth? Social Dan?
How many hours till he goes off? He posted High
Stakes an hour ago? Gosh, He's a flawed individual, isn't he?
Who would be who would have his own social media
play where we go high stakes to look for some
sort of he'd be disappointing. What will happen? He'll get
played anyway. He's on his way now. Does anyone want

(02:25:17):
to know who wins Master Chef? Is that of interest
to you? Ooho? Is Luke Littler's still playing? Oh? Louke
Littler plays again? Tomorrow's the darts over by the way.
The Bulldogs, who are third on the n are our ladder.
They've been whipped by the Roosters thirty to twelve, so

(02:25:39):
seven smoked three. It's all coming together towards the end.
Seed to be quite a good game. Quite a lot
of ill feeling. Minds you that read Marnie was on
He's always up for a fight, doesn't he. He's a
nasty individual. Well, I've got a weekend planned. I hope
