Eight oh seven seven past eight. Greetings and welcome Marcus

on the deck. Nina's on the news in Roman will
be along at midnight for the twelve to five show brilliant.
If you're on Hamilton parts of north east Hamilton, boil
your water until tomorrow at least or to Tuna. There

(00:36):
was a water tumble from there that was through the roof.
Well no, it wasn't through the roof. Was positive for
e Coally Border Coalie. So that's the situation there, so
don't drink your water there. Also, I think that I've
read today in my missives that you shouldn't be drinking
the water at ran Fury either. Yep, oh no, you

(00:58):
ad to advise to conserve your water and ran Furly
because of the heavy rain. I'll tell you just why
I am talking about stuff and about the weather. What
was quite interesting today is they have found that, you
know how they always gone about wilding pines and what
an ecological disasters they are, They've started burning them off

(01:19):
with quite a bit of success, which I thought was
I never thought of that though, say that it's quite
hard for the conditions to be right. But yes, they've
burned off fifty hectares on private light private land and
that went well. So there we go. You want to
make the conditions, we're right, but we might end up
burning off Wilding Pines. Greetings and welcome here toll twelve o'clock,
eight past eight. The number there's breaking. Usually hear about

(01:39):
it here first. We will do that for you. So
if anything happens, and look, you never know, with the
way the world is, in the way some of the
people in charge, it could be breaking news all over
the show, So all about that tonight. If that happens,
you'll hear it here first. I'll do what I can
throughout the next four hours to bring all the news
to you, but also to it due to bring the
news to us. If you see stuff that's happening that's

(02:00):
on Newsworthy, let us know and either we'll talk about
it or well get our news team onto it. So
that's something else we can do tonight. So yeah, so
by having it tuned into this, you're not going to
miss if the world collapses, will bring that to you anyway,
What are we going to talk about tonight? Well, there's
all manner of topics. I have got just I find

(02:21):
a glass of water. By the way, it's still light
down south. I'm am pleased about. I think the sun's
just about to go down, which is exciting. It's best
to call. You can text, or you can email.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Entry.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Oh, I'll tell you what. I've just had my youngest
son's tenth birthday, So.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I've got a ten year old and eleven year old,
which I'm ex step well off. If I have, I
got them, I suppose, so I suppose you're in the family.
So that's been exciting day. I tell you what always
good to go to a restaurant, A Thai restaurant, I
think it is. It might be Malaysia, I'm actually sure.
But if you tell them beforehand, they will put on

(03:03):
the record of happy birthday and all the staff come
out and sing fantastic. Now, I don't think we've ever
done that in the family before. But the kid wasn't suspecting.
Quite exciting, so that was good.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know if that's a common thing in places
around the country. Maybe you could tell me. I feel
it's something they probably do at Denny's or Pizza Hut.
Where do they do that? Where do they do something
special for a birthday, like all the staff get out
and sing? How common is that when every small town
in big town have one of those places. I wouldn't
mind a bit of a clarion call about those places,
because I think there's sort of places we could celebrate

(03:34):
that people get out there and do that for birthdays. Yes,
he is ten delightful little lad that he is. I
mean they're both delightful, but you know it's not the
other one's birthday today delightful Thursday. Back of school today too,
after fairy successful school holidays, so he was skipping as

(03:55):
he went back to school. Anyway, get in touch. Oh wait,
you just be curious though, which places still do that?
Which places still make a song and dance about birthdays?
It'd be better if the rest to what was full?
But you know, on a Friday, on a Monday at
five o'clock it was pretty well, there's probably thirty but
probab probably fifteen people there. Although every time I've been

(04:16):
there in someone else's birthday, I'll tell you what I
cheer like there's no tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
I'm kepting of the cheer squad. Old your horse. I
just got to find something. Ah, there we go, put.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
A big down the gorse Dale got prickles, Miss Nichols
deady birthdays? Where do they do the birthdays? Where do
they say the song and dance? So where's the place
they make the biggest song and dance of a birthday?
Of course it's some place you get a free dinner,
so you just pretend it's your birthday? Is that right?
Is it a Denny's? So places that do special things.

(04:55):
I mean that's what you want to do now with
the restaurants and not being such a good position, you
want to encourage those family people just working on a freckle.
I should have got that done beforehand, but it's annoying. Brilliant. Hello, Craig,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Hi Marcus, can you hear me?

Speaker 7 (05:16):
Okay now?

Speaker 3 (05:17):
And clear? Receiving you really well?

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah, I'm on a busy street. But kids birthdays, so
I used to do a special birthday for the five
year old and I used to dress up on their
birthday whatever their birthday wish was, and I did superhero birthdays.
I dressed up as a chicken one day because I
couldn't find a duck suit, and we played sneak up

(05:43):
on the chicken. All that sort of stuff in birthdays
for little kiddies are so special.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
So how old are your kids now? They're old, Craig.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Wond No, my oldest son, Jordie Jay, is coming up thirty.
The youngest ones just turned twenty one last year.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
You should still you should still dress up for them.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I used to dress up for there was Dad gets
dressed up for the fifth birthday party. Everybody gets a
special fifth one seekhead what's called a superhero birthday party,
and everybody dressed up as superheroes.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
But a duck's not a superhero, is it.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
No?

Speaker 5 (06:30):
That was Lydia's one because he loved ducks, So Lydia's
was duck. And everybody has dress and yellow.

Speaker 8 (06:37):
Yellow balloons chicken yellow.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
Yes, because we didn't have a duck soup.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
So we'll leave it there, Craig. But thank you get
those texts coming into nine two nine nine to keep
typing nine two nine two for the texts after those
places to do something special for the birthdays. Just those
are sort of odd quirky ones around the country have
one of those. They do the song and dance on
your birthdays. Get in touch with one of those if
you got them eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
nine text also interesting talking about wild and pie and

(07:06):
other stuff. Tonight, Oh, Valentine's Freedom on your birthday if
you've had it? Not sure if that, I don't know
Valentine's is still around? Actually if actually, oh, get in touch.
Someone's texts me frequency or they must be one of
the frequencies. I was curious to about the places that

(07:27):
do put on the special things for kids' birthdays and
get the whole staff singing songs. So that's the thing
that's happening in your neck of the woods. I feel
it something people used to do quite often. It doesn't
happen as much these days. How good was that rugby
leagued to yesterday too? By the way, boy, oh boy,
that was scintillating, wasn't it. It was worth watching every
match of the season to see that at the end. Brilliant.

(07:48):
Jeff Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (07:50):
Here, Marcus. Just talking about Valentine's. We used to have
a really nice restaurant here in Tower and it was
great were I've been here several times, taking my pairs there,
taking my kids there, But all of a sudden it's
shut down.

Speaker 10 (08:10):
And then.

Speaker 9 (08:14):
The only one that I ever knew then was in Hamilton,
and it was very disappointing actually because I used to
love going to Valentine's because they had a great variety
of foods. You could either have like like a roast,
I know, or you could have a salad and cold meat,
or you could have seafood. So just shut down until

(08:37):
and I will never know why.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Sure, is it what you rang up about?

Speaker 11 (08:44):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Is it what you rang up about?

Speaker 9 (08:47):
Yeah? Valentine's restaurants, I reckon they're great.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Okay, brilliant, Thanks, you have sixteen perth. They keep it
going for you've got something to say, Oh eight hundred
and eight or good start, he says, oh eight hundred
eighty nineteen nine to the text if you do want
to come through, wow, keep those texts. Marcus Bungaay, a

(09:13):
Malaysian family run restaurant in Newland, saying Happy Birthday to
a reefull restaurant to approximately half of the restaurant. Rita
had the whole restaurant singing on thirty September. My husband
and my birthday took quite special regard. Scale have been
to Bungaiy quite good. Marble's restaurant, you Plymouth staff to
a birthday song and dance for you. I've been to

(09:33):
Marbles too, not given the crown from Marbles. I think
Marvel's gonna be one of the new Plymouth highlights. Although
the new Plymouth it. Yeah, I didn't know they're saying heavy,
But three times i've been there, they haven't didn't sing
happy birthday for anyone that I can remember. I'll be
there in the summer. I'm just not quite sure whose
birthday that's going to come in. Some places that do

(09:53):
special things for birthdays as opposed to parents that do
special things to birthdays, which was good. The White Swan
gray Town whited up as sing happy birthday. If you
tell them I love to work at a restaurant. When
you do that, you say, here we go, hang on
hold that drink, order out to table three. Marcus is

(10:14):
a restaurant specializing in schnitzel. It's called Schnitzen Co One
in Timunu one in christ Church. Yes, but it's not schnitzel.
Dat do they sing your birthday songs to you. That's
what I want to know. Lone Star staff sing Happy
birthday and give you a small cupcake sounds a bit
mean spirited A small cupcake doesn't. It's worre. I'm about

(10:41):
someone's been to Plantation Island, Ken at China Palace Gisbone,
been doing as long as I can remember. We'll sing
happy Birthday over the speakers. I'm forty. Tuck Tuck Tie
sings Happy Birthday. The team came out. They also give
a custom duck duck dar to the birth Where's Tuck

(11:01):
Tuck Tie? Please? I'm into this. Eighteen past eight. Oh
by the way too, someone's Texas. We are camping at
Lake Pukaki one thirty k wins. Can't believe how many
people are still driving around their motor homes. Very windy
and dangerous here in South Cander. We can't get the internet.
Listening to you on my phone, lovely show, so there
could be Cambra vans on this side tonight, not windy

(11:24):
down south. But Zoey, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (11:29):
Yeah, Hi, I'm just calling about the birthday restaurants. So
I took my teen year old also to a Pi
restaurant here and put it to.

Speaker 13 (11:40):
Pie.

Speaker 12 (11:41):
Yeah, and I let them know that it was his
birthday and I didn't have a cake or anything, but
they brought out the dessert which was banana fredars with
candles in it. Oh yeah, and the whole the whole
team came out to sing happy birthday, and we're encouraging
the other ten diners this thing as well.

Speaker 14 (11:59):
So he thought that was quite so.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Do they play it over the speakers? It's one of
those clap along ones like happy Birthday? Is it one
of those ones?

Speaker 12 (12:07):
No, it was just the team, family, family, tame. And
what was special was they have had these little kind
of hot wheels. Wow, wow, that haven't and they gifted
back to him. So he thought that was really.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
I've never been to Thailand, but that might be. That
might be their thing. Is it to sing happy birthdays.

Speaker 12 (12:31):
Because it seems to Yeah, because it seems to be
a familiar common six thread birthday celebrations.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Was it today's are we No?

Speaker 12 (12:43):
That was in July.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
I think ten's quite a good age. They seem to
have got got out of the out of the nightmare
face for this particularly, and he's he's in good form now.
He's ten.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (12:55):
Yeah, well likewise, I mean, you know, the two things
that were battling with at the moment, with the old
roadblocks and whatnot, But that's another story.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Just just bend them.

Speaker 12 (13:07):
Yeah, well, that's hard when they go between places and
the school holidays and then they come back with new ideas.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
You know, there was a couple of those ones that
grow a garden and that it was too addictive. They're
waiting for things, waiting up to two in the morning.
I just said, no, that's too much. That it wasn't
they weren't enjoying it.

Speaker 12 (13:28):
No, they wait for these releases or something streamer that's
going live or something like that, and.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
It's just addiction. It's really bad for kids. I can't
re thought about it, and I said, what are you
guys waiting for? We got with us tree, I said,
it looks a dumb year, and and they're much happier off.
But we got back into board games and biking and stuff.
And I mean, I'm no parenting icon, but certainly I
realized that that that wasn't doing them any good.

Speaker 12 (13:54):
Yeah, well we're the same now. Households are quite outdoor family.
But when you got the cousins around, and that's what
the cousins do. You know, he feels like he's thet
and all of that carries on.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, they talked about that, about the tour, about the
guy that vetted that grower Guard as some sort of hero.
I think it's I think it's just a matter of
time before they ban it for the under sixteenth because
I think it's evil. So he nice to talk. Thanks
for chance for that restaurants where they do something special
for your kids all your adults' birthdays. Girlfriend took me

(14:27):

bills and formed free meal only valid the table of

with a heavy beat from about tonight. Oh wait, one

(19:35):
hundred eighty ten. Nighty, Luke, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 10 (19:38):
Hey, Marcus is Luke here?

Speaker 3 (19:40):
How are you? Very good things, Louke. Nice to hear
from you.

Speaker 10 (19:43):
Oh, it's nice to hear you. I hate to call
because I love the birthday scene because we we at
work have a birthday tradition where everyone gets a cake
every morning, and we had one today. That's why cool
because we had one today for one of our people
at work and there's a cake and we get donuts

(20:04):
and another tradition, and this has been the last ten years,
we do a rap and they get a birthday rap.
So Ross, who's one of ours, an animator at work,
he'll write a rap and come and do it to
a beat. And that's what happens every time you have birthday.
That's our little tradition and we love it. It's really

(20:27):
we're through this week.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
Actually.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
That's why I rank to any people not tune up
because they would be confronted by the attention of the rap.

Speaker 10 (20:34):
No, no, they love it. It's always good.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
It always has to be quite positive, wouldn't it.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
Well, there's some funny things that are revealed in it,
but it's usually positive. Yeah, and usually a quirky little
thing about that we didn't know about them. But it's
not the thing rude or anything.

Speaker 17 (20:50):
You know?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
And is the cake? Is the cake? Have you got
a go to person for the cake? Do you purchase
it or do you make it?

Speaker 10 (20:57):
I do, marcuess, I've got to confess.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
You're right.

Speaker 10 (21:00):
I'll tell you where I go as a cheesecake shop.
Oh yeah, fantastic, and they want your name on and everything.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
No.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
The reason I'm asking, Luke because I think there's some
workplaces you've got to bring the cake it's your birthday
and that I always think that's a bit mean spirited.

Speaker 10 (21:12):
No, no, no, no, I shout it. I shout it.
I always shout it. Yeah, company shouts it. Company shouts it.
And you do a big boarding tea with pies and
custard taps and stuff and yeah, no, we love it.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
It's good.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
How we stuff. We're talking, Luke, I got twelve okay,
like forty. So it's every week, it's once a month.

Speaker 19 (21:36):
Yeah, yeah, it's a bit of fun, but it's it's good.

Speaker 10 (21:40):
But I thought everyone did it does not.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
It doesn't even well, I work on my own. But
I'll tell you what we'll do, Luke. I'll broaden the
topic and I'll well, I think that's a great chance
for you to broaden. So we're going to go from
restaurants and birthdays to workplace that thanks Luke, the work
workplaces do something special for your birthday. If you're one
of those, let me know or what you do. I
think ten will always used to give the staff off

(22:02):
at the warehouse. I'm not quite sure what happens now
I get in touch Marcus till twelve twenty six to
nine special birthday things your work does or restaurants that
go the extra mile for your birthday, like a mini
to talk. Who wouldn't want one of those? Sounds delightful.
I don't think we do anything. It ends ed, What

(22:23):
do we mean?

Speaker 12 (22:24):
Ins Ed?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Me?

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Got on your Brad. You're nice guy. That's Brad. He's
onto it. But don't worry. I've had dinner. But thank you. Now,
what do we do? What does our work do? We
get a lot of weekly emails. But you know how
quite if I do weekly emails, I shouldn't probably say
this weekly emails. Is that what's happened?

Speaker 20 (22:51):
Or?

Speaker 3 (22:52):
But I think after a while you stop, you stop
opening the emails. I wonder if they know, if they
if people are reading them or not. Like they're supposed
to rally the troops, but after a while, maybe the
troops don't want to be rallied anyway. Hendle twelve, my
name is Marcus. Another thing. I grew up Jehovah's Witness,

(23:14):
and my parents would take us to Valentine's for a birthday,
even though we don't celebrate birthdays, just so we get
the free meal. And back in the nineties, write your
dollary age, so if you're nine dollars, you need if
you're nine, only for nine dollars. They told us not
to tell the church elders. Yes, yes, I have friends,
We have friends of the JW. They're weird with birthdays,
aren't they, because you can't really celebrate it. But I

(23:36):
think in the end it's say facto kind of default
they do celebrate it. Hendle twelve, my name is Marcus
welcome eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine
two de text special work traditions for birthdays or places
that make an extra song and dance for birthdays. That's
the theme. Good to hear from Luke, Good to hear

so far for tonight. We'll do breaking news when that happens,

be a part of it. A blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah. I think by the way, I think
they're appealing for the mushroom murderer's sentence. They wanted to

(25:28):
be in there for longer. She's a bit mean spirit.
I think she's got thirty three years. They want to
be there for life. And Duck Island are opening their
first South Island Gelato store and High Street christ Church

(25:49):

I want to mention tonight, but that's I'm kind of
happy with where we are at the stage. So a

I guess it's on your birthday, Marcus, Little Savannahs and
Palmester North is a top restaurant and all the stuff

to normal? The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced ten
pm Friday, New Zealand. Time. Trump's not getting that, is
he dan? He's in the running for anyway? Blah blah blah.
And the Women's One Day International World Cup is on

(27:16):
in India and Sri Lanka. New Zealand placed South Africa
tonight at ten thirty New Zealand time. But I did
see South Africa perform against England Friday or Thursday last week.
They were woeful, so we should beat them easily. Did
you got the feeling watching it that the South African

(27:37):
Cricket board had put for really left into women's cricket.
It was kind of heartbreaking. Can't have been much fun
for them out there getting hit hit, They're all around
that way. They actually was just bad all around eighteen tonight.
If there's something different you want to mention too, jumping
Their lines are free to be nice to hear from you,
and we're away. Let's go. Oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eight strong winds. Expect vans to be on their side.

(28:03):
I got someone at Lake PUKACKI the powers out and
they're almost on their side. It's blowing a gale, a
howling gale. Here's the text you heard it here. First,
we are camping at Lake Poukak one thirty k wins.
Can't believe how many people are still driving on their
motor homes, Free, windy and dangerous. Can't get the inset
listing on my phone? Love your show, so I've also

(28:26):
got weather warnings tonight. Oh here we go, Marcus. I'd
a brilliant first for my sixty odd years. I was
sung Happy Birthday by a robot at Cob and Co,
Cranford Street, christ Church. My grandchildren were mesmerized. It was
such a cool thing to receive two. The robot also
brought our meals out alongside a waitress was going to

(28:48):
ring you, but my receptionist poor cheers that you don't
need to ring, and none that some of us are
quite shy to call the radios. I don't know they
had robots at Cob and Co. Is that their thing?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Now?

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Never heard of a Cob and Co robot? I presume
it's like a remote control.

Speaker 7 (29:06):
Is it.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Gooding it now? Cobb and Co?

Speaker 17 (29:11):
Robot?

Speaker 3 (29:14):
I'm looking at it. I'm now going to watch ads
to watch it skip. Oh, it's a seven sharp story,
of course. It is Huddle twelve sixteen away from nine.
It's restaurants and cafes that go the extra mile when
it's your takeaway. Joints that go the extra mile when

(29:34):
it's your birthday, particularly someone that does something unique. I'll
tell you what, if you were doing something that went viral,
that's the way for everyone to come And I mean
you did something ex sexual for someone's birthday, there'd be
a good way to kind of get your business, provided
you might want to talk about that and interesting efforts.
You wouldn't if works make much of an effort with birthdays. Now,

(29:56):
I suppose now everyone's kind of got different dietary considerations
to keep a bit sketchy. I mean, you could be glutose,
intolerant or just intolerant, mightn't like the cake. So yeah,
if you've still got birthday traditions that your workplace that
have gone on for a long while, that's kind of
the vibe for tonight. So do come through if you've
got thing to add or anything else you want to

(30:17):
talk about tonight. Thirteen to nine oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. That's kind of the and right to know.
The robots at Common Co had no idea mind. Yo've
looked at the robot. Yeah, it's not Space Family Robinson,
it's not the Jetsons, but it's not bad. By the way,

(30:39):
Meghan mark Kell has caused outrage in the UK. She
get this and I'm team Meghan. And by the way,
I'm reading this from the Daily Mail, which which seems
to be triggered by Meghan Markle every opportunity. But Meghan
Markle is in Paris for Fashion Week and she's driven

(31:05):
through the tunnel where Diana died with her feet on
the seat. Goodness, they'll do her for anything, won't they. Yep,
she posted it on Instagram. Yeah, through the tunnel. You

(31:26):
know the tunnel anyway. I think it's the Daily Mail's obsession,
not hers. But do get in touch. Twelve way from
nine coming through? Anything else you want to talk about?
Feel free?

Speaker 14 (31:41):
Is?

Speaker 3 (31:41):
I say? Eight can confirm? Cobbin Cohen Dunedin is in
the railway station. Saw it Sunday morning whilst it a
refit wet Farmers Market after a week in way Holer.

(32:03):
Nick Rangiora worked at a company wherever I've got a
dale for their birthday, could take the day two weeks
before or after your birthday. Don't know that's good management
or not? Actually that one I don't know about not
going to work on your birthday, But each time it
was a big thing a few years back with old

(32:25):
Steve from the Tyndall from the warehouse did that and
that quote on for a while, but haven't heard it lately.
If that's still a thing, I'll turn away from nine
people just want to come through, Marcus still twelve. Anything
else you want to mention, We're here for you. Oh
oh this text from last week I haven't got yet.

(32:46):
Oh yeah, there we go. Now let me think of
anything else actually is instantly. I'm still waiting for the
big breaking news for tonight people. But yes, free strong winds.
I don't often get texts from people say how strong
the winds are, but they certainly getting those tonight. Moments
complaining about Niwa, I was at luggat this afternoon legate

(33:11):
gale force frontal winds holding the car boot needed to
take a compensating step for balance. Weather said fourteen kilometers
per hour. Wow, it's pretty interesting. He is major nor
Wister's Marcus Eisen Fiji the sherat in one of the
star and it was my birthday that day. That evening

(33:33):
she came out with her colleague singing Happy birth the
in Fijian, with a large slice of cake plus a candle.
Got to light the candle. Can you tell the guy
that just called from Valentine's Note that there is still there?
He could just pop over. I'm from your era, and
I think they used to sing Happy Birthday, Pizza Hut
and Whimpy Burger joint. This was around the Star Wars era.

(33:56):
Of course, made you embarrassed but quietly special. Also giddy up.
What the Star Wars has to do with that? Well,
the Star Wars era? As he says, nine away from nine,
we'll beck catch you're six away from nine? If you
want to be part of the show, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome
ahead on midnight? Who's on at twelve? Not Darcy Romance

(34:16):
from twelve? Beautiful? Keep it going? If you want to
talk breaking news looking forward to my Strawberry. Top of
the Tip Top are temporarily bringing back for their ninetieth anniversary.
In fact, I'm buying a box or two watching NRL final.
I miss last Night Desire Masterton Strange. The Windy app

(34:40):
shows Bug Roll Wind at Pukak, but sixty k's at Fovo.
The wind wasn't bad? Does out there? Febit? No, the
wind wasn't bad today down South Marcus breaking news found
twenty dollars? Is it ethical to keep it? If it
was outside a car I saw parked on the road,
nobody nearby ethics of this? If you see them, I'd

(35:03):
say here, I think you've dropped twenty bucks. They'd probably
give it anyway. I don't know what to feel about
tip Top's ninetieth birthday. I feel they've lost their way
when they're pring it like there's no tomorrow. Who owns them?
Not fine? I think it's owned by the Singapore Singaporeans,
is it. I don't want to get that wrong. I
feel you even it's given up on ice cream roo,

(35:24):
on the gelato buzz.

Speaker 17 (35:25):
Now.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
I think what's happening is it's gone too many of
those extravagant things. They've gone to kind of high end,
but it's none of it's very good. Yeah, I feel
quite strongly about this. Too many Top chocolate dips sort
of they go with the word indulgence and stuff. Well,
nothing indulgent about it. Really, it's just bad. It's just

(35:47):
too full on. There's no subtlety. They've lost their subtlety.
Although I'll tell you what, every year you go to
the tip Top factory when you're at school in Auckland
that was always good. You've got a nice block tip
top corner, chip chop corner. So yeah, I think they've
lost their way bringing back that. Yeah, but who cares

(36:07):
if you bring back the topper, you should have never
got rid of it. All those other stuff, those extravagant
things terrible. I don't know who owns them now. I
don't want to be anti tiptop, but I kind of think,
you know, they've got to ninety years because we supported them,
but they haven't been loyal to us. It's owned by Frenieri,

(36:31):
a global ice company. I don't know who Fronierri are.
I don't even know where they're from, frou near Re. Oh,
it's Pai Partners in Nesle, some sort of joint conglomoration.
That's a good thing over every bad thing anyway, ninety years.

(36:53):
We'll do something special for their hundredth Welcome to twelve,
Welcome to the show, Hitle twelve. That's what I meant
to say. The restaurants that's sort of that do special
things if you say it's your birthday, and workplaces that
still do special things for your birthday. Now, I haven't
heard about any of the workplaces which I'm slightly sad

(37:13):
about because maybe workplaces aren't doing anything special, which would
be a worry. So you've got something to say about
that would be good to hear from you. These other
things you want to mention tonight, I can handle that.
What have you got to be in touch? Oh, eight
hundred eighty ten eighty, if you want to text nine

(37:33):
to nine to two, let's be hearing from you. I
tell what the stage will probably hold you over from
the news. Also a ship with that, the chalkbar I record,
by the way, and the joy bar that will be
the ones that I don't think we ever liked this.
I don't think I like the strawberry dipper. That's my topper. Topper, topper,

(37:58):
that's my reaction to that one. Two things places that
make a fuss of you on your birthday, because that's
good to know. And then again we're on to work
places that still do special things for birthdays. What do
they do? I've never worked at a workplace has done
anything special for a birthday. I don't think. Mind you, you
never know. With me, I might have been funny about
it and not wanted them to. They might have tried

(38:19):
to second guest be always the way, isn't it. Oh
wait a ton eighty Rod Marcus. Welcome, o God the
hell are you good?

Speaker 21 (38:30):
I still have a scotch from some time with the
son of the founder, and it was built in fifty fifties,
and I remember going for a tour in Johnsonville many
years ago. But it's an old name of for many

(38:53):
years and we're just playing ice cream in the in
the fifties. But is a great thing. And I still
have a as I say, as scotch from the sun
from time time.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Right right, mister that what have you got? You've got
a scotch?

Speaker 21 (39:09):
Now I have a scotch with the son of the
flying founder.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Oh oh, that's that would be the mister. Now what
was his name? Was he? A? You've a scotch Big Graham?

Speaker 8 (39:26):
Could have Big Graham.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
Is this the guy that found tip Top?

Speaker 21 (39:30):
You know this is his son?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yes, but his son would have the same name as
his I think he was a Hayman, was he?

Speaker 21 (39:38):
No, I'm sure that this found him. His son is
Graham and uh, a man, I have a scotch with
some time to time.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
What's his surname? Graham's Alligan? Oh yeah, yes, founded by
founded by Albert Hayman and Leonard Mallahan. Is Malahan himself
an ice cream? So what does he do? He is
into Scotch is he?

Speaker 21 (39:59):
I'm not sure about that now I'm talking about the
Scotch Abba bottle.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
I fully aware what you're talking about, right.

Speaker 21 (40:05):
Yes, but anyway, give.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Them my regards, right, nice to talk, nine past nine,
Jan Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 14 (40:13):
Hi them, Marcus. I heard you mention about the people
in Hamilton's water.

Speaker 11 (40:22):
Yes, a while.

Speaker 14 (40:24):
Back, and I was expecting it to be on the
news because it's a very serious matter, and it wasn't
even on the TV news update or on the radio
news that we've just added.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
Because I've covered it off. It was on the six
scot bulletin tonight.

Speaker 14 (40:48):
Yes, but a lot of people might not have been
listening to that. And if I didn't hear you mention
it a while back, it should have been on the news.
Just a very serious matter.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
I would imagine most of those people very well, Jane,
can I just talk because you're sound quite adamant. I
would have mentioned those people in that area would have
got a text alert.

Speaker 17 (41:14):
Do you think so?

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Are you in the Hamilton Northeast?

Speaker 14 (41:18):
No?

Speaker 3 (41:19):
No, so it wouldn't affect you, would it.

Speaker 14 (41:22):
No, But I'm concerned as a nurse that people won't
have got the message and they'll be drinking the water.
And it's very serious.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
It's something they might have got. I'll find out if
anyone's got a text alert. Eh, then do we know
if they're going to text alot.

Speaker 14 (41:41):
That's a good hope here.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
There might be local ads in the Hamilton about it,
so they probably they probably have little The Hamilton councils
probably brought radio advertisements and you know where you might
hear something for yeah, find to pizza Hut. They might
be having ads for bail your water.

Speaker 14 (41:59):
Well, they might be and they might not be.

Speaker 8 (42:01):
People are going to I'm not going to lose.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
That's not my that's not my to is to.

Speaker 7 (42:07):
Run the mark.

Speaker 14 (42:09):
But I'm consumed. Something needs to go on the news
every hour.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
But jen these days, every every day there's someone with
a boiled water notice like in ren Fury. And because
our water system is not in great shapes.

Speaker 14 (42:26):
It's extremely worrying. It is no wonder the hospitals are filled.
That's flowing.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Well, that's another story why they're full. Well wait, Jane,
you've gotta limit what you're going to worry about, otherwise
you worry yourself into a small little spiral.

Speaker 14 (42:45):
Oh, for goodness sake, markets, Okay, I just won't care
about anybody.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
I mean, you can't spend your whole time worry about
the people in Hamilton because there's probably alert for them.
And I think it was just one reading that was
slightly elevated. And what's he going to do to your jet?

Speaker 14 (43:04):
Jet make you're seriously ill and you'll be in hospital. Yes,
you get a major gut take. People die.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
I also think it's probably concerns for the counter that
one to overly allarm people when it's not that serious.
Oh my goodness, well that's true.

Speaker 14 (43:31):
I don't know what's happening to you people out here.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
Who are you talking about?

Speaker 14 (43:37):
Well, the government saying that all these teenagers are going
to get a thousand dollars that ready to stay off
the doll for you here, it's a stupid thing.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
We get that, yes, but the news kind of as
new is not just local boiled water notices because you've
got a limited amount of time to do it.

Speaker 14 (43:59):
Oh, there's no excuse for it.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
It's probably probably on TikTok or on TikTok.

Speaker 22 (44:05):
No, I'm blind.

Speaker 14 (44:07):
I can't hasten to me. I'm still blind. There's no
miracle happening.

Speaker 3 (44:14):
I thought you'd sorted your sight. No, yeah, me too.
I'm said to hear that bood excrement. Apparently, what boird excrement?
What in the water in Hamilton?

Speaker 14 (44:35):
My goodness sake, did here a while big that they
had sixty percent higher level than the safe level of
arsenic and that ketto.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
River fecal contamination.

Speaker 14 (44:53):
I don't they have tilters or something exactly. And that's
just hopeless. This country has gone down the toilet.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Don't you get? You get you're the one that keeps
our spirits up?

Speaker 14 (45:06):
Well, I do try, yeah, yeah, well to be free.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
You've been slightly off tonight. You've been slightly on a downer.
I found you to be quite depressing.

Speaker 14 (45:16):
Well, is there any wonder Marcus? No, not really seems
to be worried about.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
He's a text, here's a text.

Speaker 8 (45:23):
Jan.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
This is going to blow your mind, right? Are you ready?

Speaker 14 (45:27):
Probably not?

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Are you ready?

Speaker 14 (45:31):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (45:32):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Marcus rest assured Jan that all of Hamilton have been
notified about the water issue. We've got a phone alert.
It's been on all of the community pages on Facebook
and in the papers. It's been well advertised, Susan not good.

Speaker 14 (45:46):
I think couldn't a bit.

Speaker 8 (45:48):
Jan.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
I was driving through the White Kato on Saturday with
two others and we all got the emergency alert on
our phone.

Speaker 14 (45:56):
Oh could they couldn't. It should have been on the
news that they're going to.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
You're not happy. I mean, ifone's got what should have
been on the.

Speaker 14 (46:04):
News, they should stay that it's been attended to. Everyone's
being not ouside, then people like me who care, actually
care wouldn't be having a little breakdown over it.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Some are saying they should have a text warning when
you come on, Jan, because they found you to be
worrisome tonight.

Speaker 14 (46:26):
Well it's no wonder, Marcus, I could have been spared
or trouble.

Speaker 17 (46:31):
Yeah, okay, accurate.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Thanks for I'm glad, Thanks Jan, I'm glad we got
that resolved. Cheapers. Marcus, I am in the area was
alluded numerous times via the anti Neeir app as well
as Facebook on the social media regarding the waters fling Hamilton.
I also got a phone alert Sunday afternoon. Actually we
didn get a text alert on Saturday eight afternoon and
it was on our Facebook groups. The major issue is

(46:55):
those with no mobile phones. It was one positive and
none for two days. I'm keen about birthdays though, that's
me birthdays, birthdays, birthdays and workplaces do special things for birthdays.
That's what I'm oh. By the way, there's a product
recall Vogels Granola. What do you reckon? Are reck going

(47:18):
to be metal? It's always bits of metal these days,
isn't it? Guess what will be? It's Vogels Granola. I
say bits of metal or plastic? I say bits of metal?
Here we go. Certain batches of Vogels brand granola and
cereal and Tom and Luke brand snacker bulls have been
recalled due to the possible presence of small metal pieces.

(47:42):
Always bits of metal these days. They got so much
metal fatigue. What do you reckon about those protein bulls?
I think most of it's just date that holds it
all together. That's the binding agent. It's having protein bulls.
And who are Tom and Luke? Do you think they're
just real? People? Are just kind of fake people to
make it look like it's made in someone's house. Nextually
it's done in a factory with bits of propeller breaking off.

(48:04):
It's not good. And tip Tops ninetieth anniversary. You do
know that tip Top. I think they should have stuck
with the ice blocks and the frujus. When they went
all that sort of redouble dipped caramels type thing, I
think probably, I guess that's where the profit is in
the high end. But yeah, they thought it was high end.

(48:25):
But like fish and chips, you always get remorse. Marcus,
I must do and should be a shoe and bringing
back Easter egg smash ice cream vanilla chocolate chip with marshmallows.
Waited years for that? Was it a thing?

Speaker 7 (48:38):
Over?

Speaker 3 (48:38):
The answer that nineteen past nine, nine twenty one. Keep
those texts and calls coming through. There is cricket tonight,
women's cricket the World Cup. New Zealanists in Sri Lanka
and India. New Zealand playing South Africa were beaten easily,
beaten easily by England sow they forgot we should see

(48:58):
them off, but you never know. That's at ten thirty
to night. If you look for something to do, and
we're talking about restaurants to do something specially for it's
your birthday. That's my major topic. Workplaces, So keep it
going on that if that she vibe tonight, Marcus, every
time it's your birthday, our workday, buy us a cake

(49:19):
and they all sing happy birthday too. That's the lollly
Shop christ Church, Marcus. The protein balls must be made
alongside tasty. Had the same problem with those last week, Marcus,
missus bouquet keeping up appearance as Patricia Ruchelig died at
ninety six. Yes, I brought that news to people on
Friday night. We lost a couple of actors on Friday.
Who was it? I wonder why those metal kind of

(49:41):
mixes make break all that good evening? Hell, and this
is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (49:45):
Yeah, Hi Marcus. Look, I'm I'm inclined to agree with
jan I tuned in halfway through the conversation, so I
might not have got it all. But was she worried
about the fact that it wasn't on the TV news
or the radio news?

Speaker 3 (50:03):
She was worried that it wasn't on a TV update
bulletin right, or the radio seven or the radio top
of the hour bulletin.

Speaker 13 (50:13):
Right. Well, I'm in Northland and I heard about that
the Carla Scan that people were being advised to boil
their water. But I've got we've got this assumption again
that everybody's got a cell phone and everybody's on the
internet and goes on Facebook. So I think Jan actually
had a very valid point because I know a lot

(50:35):
of people that she rural areas who don't have the Internet,
they don't have you know, but they watch the TV.
So I think I think Jan actually had a point.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
So I just like the supporter, Well, if you're in
the rural areas, you're not going to be on that
on that water supply though, are you.

Speaker 13 (50:52):
Oh I don't know. I don't know exactly where it
was except it was in Hambleton somewhere.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
But I mean if you put on the tea. Because
once upon a time, the TV news was the fond
of all information. Because no one watches the news anymore,
that's not true.

Speaker 13 (51:05):
Let's say a lot of elderly people, for instance, don't
have cell phones, don't have the internet.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
Yes, but if you're if you're if you're the council
and you're looking to get as good as much coverage possible,
you'd go with text alerts. Because I'm sure the selfon
ownership rates about ninety nine percent and then you'd go
with social media because you get much better coverage than
doing it.

Speaker 13 (51:27):
On the I'm saying that a lot of people don't
actually have those that media, so why not mention it
on the TV news at all?

Speaker 3 (51:34):
But the point I'm making there's a lot more people
would have cell phones than would watch TV news.

Speaker 13 (51:41):
But I'm saying that a lot of people don't have
cell phones, don't have the Internet, don't have Facebook, they
watch TV, so what what's why why not have it
on the TV as well?

Speaker 3 (51:53):
I think I think for Jenney, Okay, for a start,
it's not the job of TV in news to just
broadcast councils, water alerts. Oh look, the thing about TV,
the thing about TV new use it's a visual medium.
You need pictures for it as well. If you haven't
got pictures that are interesting, it's not going to make

(52:13):
for a good bulletin. So there are visual medium. They
want stories that have got visual appeal. So for just
having Simon Dower read out about that, that's not that interesting, right,
So the council, the council will be thinking most people
have cell phones.

Speaker 13 (52:28):
I felt she had a point, and once again you can.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Think everybody, But the thing about you, Helen. You're not
even in Hamilton, you and Jail.

Speaker 13 (52:36):
I know, but I don't have a self I don't
have Internet, and I don't have a smartphone. I actually
don't have a TV as well. I listened to the radio,
but I felt I thought Jan had a point. And
this assumption that everybody seems to have all this, you know,
there seems to be this assumption that everybody's got a

(52:59):
cell phone and everybody what has the Internet and goes
on Facebook. I just just beinging to say I felt
Jan had a point.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
I think the assumption is that most people get their
information now from cell phones and social media much more
than from the TV.

Speaker 13 (53:13):
Well, I frankly don't care about most people lot.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
But you don't care. But councils are talking about getting
the information to as many people as possible.

Speaker 13 (53:22):
We'll have it on the TV as well. Why because
you may.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
As well have it in the local community newspapers that
no one reads.

Speaker 13 (53:30):
This section of the population is being ignored. It seems
to be assumed that everybody's got a cell phone, everybody watches.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Everybody just about have Hellen, just about everyone has got
a cell phone except you, And you're stubborn.

Speaker 13 (53:43):
That is rubbish.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Well should we google what the cell phone ownership raiders
in New Zealand.

Speaker 13 (53:50):
Look, I have to drive to two kilometers down the
road to get a cell phone coverage here I'm out
in the country.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Well that's your choice.

Speaker 13 (53:58):
Look, they've they've done a repble study and that the
rural sector is really concerned because in the last year
the cell phone coverage the networks have become rubbish and
people are not being able to access them any more properly.
Like I'm just saying, Jan's got a point. This assumption

(54:20):
that everybody's got a smartphone, all the networks and wonderful
everybody goes on Facebook and go community. Can Jan had
a point and she rang as genuine concern. She's an
ex nurse and a lot of people who don't have
that media they might not know and they might get sick.
Ok I just think she had a point.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
Okay, thank you, Helen.

Speaker 14 (54:44):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Oh a hundred eighty tenty and nine to text. It's
gonna happen more and more. I think with people actually
in their water with problems. By the way, ren fairly
in the South Island, they are saying preserve your water
there because of heavy downloads of water. They're advised to

(55:06):
cons serve water following heavy rain at the weekend. Ranford
has been advised has been now placed under a conserved
water notice. Nasby and Omerco remain under notice this issue yesterday.
Although I think the water's just discolored, it's starting to clear. Keith,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 16 (55:25):
Welcome, howo, Marcus. I just want to let you know
that I watched both the TV one and then the
TV three news tonight and both of those channels had
on about boiling the water in the Rosa Turna district

(55:45):
of Hamilton.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
So everyone's had it, really a everyone.

Speaker 16 (55:52):
Has had it. Obviously those were cell phone have being
covered and it was on both TV news channels this evening.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
And that's more you'd have in the old days, because
the old days will just be TV and radio, wouldn't it.

Speaker 16 (56:07):
Well, that's exactly right, Yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean,
I just can't understand why those people are ringing up
and saying it's wrong, because it's not. I watched both
news channels every night, and tonight it was on both
news channels. They even had a shot of a boiling

(56:30):
jug of water.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
Okay, appreciate you coming through very kindly. Thank you John.
This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 8 (56:38):
You know, Marcus, I live in I live in Hamilton here.
I don't live in the Rota Tuna area. I used to.
And they come home from hospital on last Thursday, and
I've been in bed all the time and I have
the ear plugged because I listened to talk back all
the time. And it's been all over the radio all

(57:00):
the time that it's a reservoir in voter To serving
the road to Tun area of Hamilton, and it's been
infected by coli. And now that man said on that
before here to night that it was on the TV twice,
so I would say it's been. I don't know. It's
been on for many days as far as I can remember,

(57:22):
and it's been. It's been, it's been. We've been told
plenty about it because naturally, yeah, you know, when I
said it's Rada Tuna, well, I thought, well, that's not
not here here that I live, and so I don't
have to worry about it.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
You know, where is the reservoir.

Speaker 8 (57:37):
I don't know. You know, there's a reservoir up on
the top of Lake Road here up above sir, Hamilton City.
But I don't know whether there reservoir O where is
over there for roada tuna? Marcus, I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
You've got to clean bigger pardon You've got a clean
bill of health?

Speaker 8 (58:00):
Who me? Yeah, I had a heart I had a
heart attack, But I'm okay. Now I have to wait.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Are you the guy that has KFC every month?

Speaker 7 (58:11):
Now?

Speaker 8 (58:13):
What no I know?

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Is it the last time I talked to was about KFC?
Is that Is that that the same guy?

Speaker 8 (58:21):
It might have been me? It probably was, but it
was it was. But I'll tell you, distant passing I
hear about it was amazing. You know, I was in
that hospital. I was I'm eighty nine years of age,
and the place was full of sick people. And you know,
some of them runder sixty under, seventy under, seventy five hundred,
eighty and eighty five and the number of people that

(58:45):
have got diabetes shocking. And you know some of them
have to go into hospital three days a week for
with kidney fighter to have the dialysis and it's four
hours a time. But by gee, you've got to go

(59:05):
in hospital realize how many people are sick?

Speaker 3 (59:08):
A lot of sick people, of people, lot of sick
people in hospital.

Speaker 8 (59:10):
John Oh, I realized that. But I mean, I mean
there's a lot of diabetics out of hospital. But I'm
just saying that, you know, very young people too. My
son said that since he was nineteen and he's the
oldest of six. He said, diabetes, but he has to
take the insulinites. But no, it's it's an opening. I mean,

(59:33):
I've come home now, I know I'm coming right. I
haven't got diabetes already.

Speaker 3 (59:38):
What what's your what's your plan?

Speaker 9 (59:40):
Now?

Speaker 3 (59:41):
What did they say to you? What do you need
to do?

Speaker 8 (59:44):
Well? I had this, you had this night, yes to
see and that tells you whether you need things like
stems or if it's really serious, you have open heart
surgery which is belves or would they take the vEDS
and your legs and transplant them. But for me, I've
just got plaque and I've got a lot of meta

(01:00:07):
case stop taking and whether that but that doesn't don't know.
But but I the number one thing that I've got
to do is an eighty nine year old is from
the start of Cavid, I stopped walking. I used to
walk one hour a day, and what I've got to
do is I'm going to get get out every day
as an eighty nine year old and I'm going to

(01:00:28):
walk an hour And that's my aim?

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
What is that what they told you to do?

Speaker 8 (01:00:34):
No, they didn't tell me that. It's just common sense.
You don't get to eighty nine and look as good
as I do and feel as good as I do
bye by not sort of looking after yourself and eating
the right food. And and you've got to exercise. You
know you can't. You can't send the way for a
muscle building course and they'll say, look, we're sending you

(01:00:56):
the muscles this week, we'll send you the course next week.
You've got to do the work.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Car when you start, when they tell you you can
start walking again.

Speaker 8 (01:01:06):
Oh they said I can start sight away, Yeah, but
I haven't see I'm still being lazy. It's just lazy. Reasonable.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
How's the food all right?

Speaker 8 (01:01:18):
Beautiful beautiful food and beautiful nurses, absolutely incredible, no complaints whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
How long will you live for the John?

Speaker 8 (01:01:29):
I was in for two weeks and two days, and
you know that all that time that was waiting because
there was such a long list to have this this
die test and even when I get I got down there,
I don't know forty day and and I was even

(01:01:51):
going to go and they said, oh, we don't know.
Really it was late in the day and they said, no,
you're don't to come back tomorrow. So I went back
the next day and I got out, I got in
and they said while I was still in there, and
they said, oh, you're good. You will get home tomorrow morning.
But there's lock lot awaitingness and those nurses and then

(01:02:12):
I couldn't fail the place. It's incredible, incredible a role
guy like me, it was good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Yeah, you wouldn't want the e coli water, John, So
it's nice to hear from you, and thanks for all
of that. That's a good update. Twenty three away from ten.
I don't live in Hamilton is an email. I don't
live in Hamilton, but I have heard news items for
the past two days on are n Z and also
read about the issue in the New Zealand Herald. I
am nearly seventy and find it easy to keep up
the news. I'm sure the residents will have been notified.

(01:02:41):
It isn't rocket science to find out what is happening
in your area. I'm sure neighbors would look out for
older people for goodness sake. Some people need to get
over themselves. Communication is so much easier these days, and
I love it. Can we move on to birthday traditions? Please?
I found Jana reel down and you're very patient with her.
Got a lot of time for Jan. Thank you, Meredith.

(01:03:05):
Boil the water or drink coke? Oh wait, one hundred
and eighty ten eighty. My grandfather is one hundred and two,
still living with diabetes and a veteran. Wakata Hospitals amazing
with their care. Marcus. If you heard about the soul

(01:03:29):
Of farm being developed in Tiadaha on Odongihu Road, evidently
the biggest in New Zealand. All the labor are contracted
French students. I live at the Adaha Holiday Park. Must
be thirty students here, crazy Dave. Why would they get
French students through the solar water? Marcus, Jenne Helen reaganizing.
Anyone without phones have family who know when alert is

(01:03:50):
given to notify their loved ones. Cheers Marcus. I wonder
if you could play There's Something in the Water by
Brook Fraser. It's a good song that I mean think
there is something in everyone's water. Most days we live
in the way Takari Rangers, and I'm certain there is
in many cases of water tanks swimming by a fewer possums.

(01:04:11):
My husband used to send my daughters in with a
snorgl and goggles to have a lock. He's always amazed
on how well tank supply works out, doesn't it. You
don't seem to get killed. And a lot of bird
excrement must flow off the roofs into those kind of places,
wouldn't they. That's one thing that birds do well. Heathel

(01:04:34):
twelve welcome, boil your water if you are north East
Hamilton and don't eat any vogels. Cereal, almond and pistachio
is one of them that's got the bits of metal
in yep. Heartbreaking twenty ten. By the way, too, I

(01:04:57):
see in the news that Poorsha Woodman Wickcliff's she has
got her own Barbie Doll. Anyone predict that Dan in
the frictions put me down for day Madourn Dole next year.
That's my pick. I reckon they'll go with that woman
and leadership. That's my prediction, along with all my others.

(01:05:21):
They've also got a dole for a Jona Ma. She's
a woman with the lipstick, the American who just seems
to be delightful every time I've seen her on social media.
In between water warnings, Now, what I want to talk
about was places that go places that do special things

(01:05:43):
for people on their birthdays. Now we got sidetracked by
water a bit, and by tiptop of the nineteth birthdays.
I want to go back to that. Places that make
the extra effort. If they bring a cake or things
on your birthdays, that's a thing. And also workplaces they
have special birthday traditions, and I've got very few of those.

(01:06:04):
I think there must be officers do great birthday things.
You know, what are those things to tell me about
this other stuff? You've got to check in the mix. Good,
I'm okay about that. Seventy and away from a ten
daylight savings, so it's really seventy and away from nine.

Speaker 7 (01:06:22):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
There are many many folks that still don't have cell phones, Marcus,
maybe another five to ten years. I think most people.
I think probably more people have cell phones than ever
had landlines. You're going to remember with cell phones, who
with people twenty four seven? So they're always contactable because
in the old days of landlines you only be there
a little bit of time, and they couldn't have counsels

(01:06:45):
ringing every person on a landline to tell them when
the cell phone fall Its faults are the very effective
way of warning people about things, you know, more so
than I think once upon a time. Anyway, if you
want to talk about all these things, good and maybe

(01:07:07):
that's something that people should get phones for, that awareness
that they can get alerts when the earthquake's coming or something.
But you used toll always be pot that don't have
cell phones, like there's always people that won't have will
only use cash. I know what to say about that.
Fifteen from ten o'clock if you want to be part
of the show here till twelve tonight. By the way,

(01:07:29):
I thought there's water notices every week. I'm surprised this
one's got so much attention. I guess I started the
hour by saying, boil your water if you are on Hamilton,
Tuna or the north east of Hamilton, that's what you've
got to do. Now if you want to be on air, God,
if there's something different you want to mention Meghan markles

(01:07:51):
in trouble for driving through the tunnel where Diana got
killed with their feet up on a seat. Do you
they're picky? And the French prime minister has quit. Do
you what his name is? Liquelmou France has a president
and a prime minister. Yep, maybe we need a president.

(01:08:15):
They must have a different system. Any who get in
touch if you want to talk about these things or
anything else. No, you can't do your predictions now. That's
for the first day of next year. Is the prediction show?
Oh eight ten eighty. I still can't work out where
that water reservoir is. I've looked on Google Maps. I

(01:08:38):
can't work out why they're not getting out of the river.
Or maybe they are and they're just storing it in
a rezi. That might be the answer. They're fourteen to ten.
By the way, I found out where the Tuna rezi is,
although I haven't got it on I've got to get

(01:09:00):
it on Google Maps. I've got on that hybrid one.
So I'm just going to look at that to see
if it looks.

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
I can't get that layers. That's why I need layers.

Speaker 8 (01:09:12):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
It looks covered though they rizzi there. It looks like
it's must get pumped up there from the white cutaway.
There'd be my gut feeling there because I can see
a covered building. There is that what you can see Dan?
So where's the where's the There must be birds inside
the building, So yeah, I don't know about that. But
it's also not on that road. It seys that must

(01:09:35):
have been a road that was there that says Indian Rise,
doesn't it not k road? Yeah, it's weird thought anyway, Hey,
how are you going people ten away from ten my
Namer's markets. Well, I'm looking forward to input tonight about
birthdays and restaurants and celebrations, and also about the right
way for councils to let people know that the water

(01:09:56):
is not good, you need to boil it. How should
people be letting? How would you let the most people?
How would you get the most bang for your back
by letting people know? Because you're also are remember too
that councils are in a cash crist at the moment,
so you've got to limit their expenditure so you can't
buy endless radio commercials and stuff like that. You're normally

(01:10:16):
relying on the grace of newsrooms to kind of publish
your information, so you might have said something about that. Also,
that's what we're right about tonight, covering what I can
about the international news also tonight. Oh, by the way,
there's still hundreds of people trapped in the Himalayas. There's

(01:10:39):
a I think there was hundreds there. As I've said,
a mass of snowstorm has left hundreds of people trapped
on Everest as rescuers race to save the hikers. People's
teams have said to be encrushed, with some climber suffering
from hyperthermia due to the freezing conditions. Local villages have
been shoving snow to clear blocked roads to reach the

(01:11:00):
campsite sixteen thousand feet above ground. A lot of people
on the mountain. Time seems to be unseasonal weather, the weather,
the shear is not normal, so a lot of people
a thousand people were trapped. That's only people are climbing
Everest or stuck on the mountain at one time. It

(01:11:21):
doesn't seem as there's a huge amount of concerned for them.
Looks like there's a plan to get them rescued. But gee,
that's alarming, isn't it. Hector siving away from ten if
you want to talk here on midnight. I've gone to
the Hamilton Council website that does show the whole of
the boiled water affected thing with that covered reservoir marked

(01:11:42):
on that area. Hamilton City Councilors should all notice water
nottors for tuna water supply after a single confirmed test
result on Saturday, fourth October showing the presence of E.
Coli in a water sample from the Lode to Tuner reservoir.
I don't know where that water comes from, how it
would get infected. Um, so I presume it. I presume.

(01:12:08):
I don't know why. I presume that. Presume it comes
to the Waikata River and it's pumped in there for
pressure and storage. Oh, it's a good thing they are testing.
I guess that's a good thing. They are being vigilant. Well,
sometimes you don't what you don't know is good for you.
That's a situation I've got there for that. Five away
from ten.

Speaker 8 (01:12:26):
I'd like your.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
Calls people if you want to talk on here about councils,
comms and about birthday celebrations and the restaurants that do it,
and work birthday traditions you have in the workplace, I'd
like to hear about those. I don't know what they are,
but I'm up for it. I thought there would be
more special work traditions people would have. I think normally

(01:12:49):
at most workplaces it's your birthday. The birthday person brings
the cake, which I can understand, but I don't know that.
I love that. That might be some angle you've got
on that also tonight, but get in touch if you
want to be a part of it. By the way, too,
I see there's a great deal of concerned that one
of the English rugby captains, Lewis Moody, has been diagnosed

(01:13:12):
with motor neuron disease. He's forty seven the latest, and
a number of players coming up with an illness. I'm
sure there's class action is underway there. So that's a
situation that's quite big news in the UK. Just put
that out there and that you know about that one.

(01:13:34):
But yeah, if you want to be on air after
the news, good it'd be nice to hear from you,
who Marcus. I worked for Eat of Food's Worries several
years ago for your birth that was a paid day off,
but it'd be taking two weeks either side. Good program tonight, faith.
Thank you, Faye. Mark's the building on the court of
Akateia Street and Union rise of the actual reservoir. Where's

(01:13:55):
the water come from out of the river. What's geve
on about? Is he's going to do forty five or after?
Oh yeah, we might have given a bit of a pass.
Actually yeah, but that's fine. And if you want to
talk after the news, that's what we can handle. And
keep those texts coming through if you've got them. Very
strong winds. People are reporting from Lake Poukeke, so be

(01:14:19):
careful of your camper vans in the middle of the
South Island on the east coast, extremely strong winds, so
be warned. And I'll be back after the break if
you want to be part of the show. Yep, French
Prime minister. French Prime minister has resigned. That's right, that's
the news today. I see Japan's going to get a
new female prime minister too, so she's a changing world.

(01:14:40):
Back after the break. See on the other side, this
is me. Good evening, howway, I hope you're good. Welcome
to the show here till twelve. If you've got breaking news,
were you ill let me know where the breaking news
is and get in touch with me. We've been talking
about places that to places you go to on your birthday,
they'll do something special for you. Restaurants seems to be
many Thai restaurants. Must be a thing for tire restaurants

(01:15:00):
to come out and have the staff singing happy birthday
to you. We've been talking about that, and then a
slight pivot into business or your workplace that does something
special for the birthday. Sadly, I don't think many places
do it anymore. I think it was probably a big
thing in the eighties and nineties, but sort of it's well,
I guess some people don't like cake. You got problems

(01:15:24):
with obesity and stuff. You know, that's probably the way
it goes. People don't feel comfortable eating. I don't know
how it is. I'm just curious though. That's why I
ask about what your workplace does the workplace birthday shout
or something like that, if you've got one of those ones,
and the restaurants as well. That's my major topic for tonight,
and a bit of concern about when there are boil
water notices and how to let people know about those

(01:15:46):
boiled water notices are they are the topics for tonight.
I've got to say that I've very much, greatly enjoyed
the NRL Final last night. That was one of the
great rugby league games of all time. So I've enjoying
reading some of the aftermatch coverage of that today. So
you might want to comment on that also tonight. So
that's what we're about so far. It'd be good to
hear you tonight if you want to talk about any

(01:16:07):
of these things. There is other stuff happening, always stuff happening.
Local body elections. You got about two days staying tomorrow
to vote. Then it's all over people, so make an
effort I think you should do that. Votes must be
in by Saturday, eleventh of October, so a lot of

(01:16:28):
it's going by posts, so you want to be certain
of that. The ODI New Zealand versus South Africa is
in India and Tri Lanka will be in one of
those I'm not what sure dder is, but one of
those that starts at ten thirty. It's in India and
Zeenian one that toss and will bat first at that one,
which is good because it has aren't very good at

(01:16:48):
all if they bet it first. To be a very
short match. The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced at
ten pm Friday. And the next All Blacks match is
it while away. It's in Chicago against Ireland November two.
Good time for US ten past nine in the morning.

(01:17:12):
So that's what I've got for you today. And do
get in touch if you want to talk at Teddy
and nineteen ninety to text anything goes Hettel twelve. There's
something different you want to mention. I've done what I
came with the topics. Do you want to go with
those or something else? Be my guest. Our Tiptop is
also ninety years old today, now owned by Nesle and
with some other group of conglomerates. Yeah, I think they've

(01:17:38):
dropped the ball tip top. I think they have for
a while. They've gone down the wrong road. They've grown
up the they've grown up the great ice creams and
come out with things that are undignified. I still think
the Trumpet's good, but I think all these other luxury

(01:17:59):
decolent ones are just diabetes waiting to happen. That's yeah,
They're just they're just too full on. The kids like them,
and they promise a lot but don't really deliver. That's
my take. I feel quite strongly about that. Don't know why.
I'm just looking at their post and now of what
they've got, choc pad, jelly tip, rocky road, good, trumpet, good,

(01:18:22):
Memphis meltdowns, all those in the bin, terrible fruit, uice good,
popsicles good. But all these colabs with whittakers and stuff
and the oreos things. Not a fan at all. So yes,
that's my that's my that's my version of that. A
lot to say about that. I just don't know why

(01:18:44):
they've gone down the wrong direction. I guess they're trying
to compete with overseas ones. So there you have it.
Liven past ten into the school holies. Everything back for
the last term of school this year too for the
fourth term. But yeah, if you want to be if
there's other stuff you want to talk about tonight, to
get in touch and boil your water. If you tuna,

(01:19:07):
which is north east Hamilton, it seems to be above chart.
Well that's happening. Oh, by the way, the albatrosses have
come back to and then they come back every spring
and they ring the bells. Hello, Kevin, this is Marcus. Welcome,
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:19:28):
Good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
I got my ease on Kevin, what can you tell me?

Speaker 19 (01:19:33):
Well, I believe that tip Top was a product of
Ponterra and back in the days when things were a
little tough, they sold the brand tip Top, and of

(01:19:54):
course Ponterra came from Kuey and Kiwi and numerous other
cooperatives drawing together. But it's quite interesting because so we're
about to see the management of Fonterra now proposal a

(01:20:17):
proposition to the shareholders where they can. It's well, they're
selling some brands and our local farmers are going to
make some serious cash out of the deal, which I
think is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Yeah, although I don't know what it means. We did
Fontier tell tip Top when Yeah, it was a while ago.

Speaker 19 (01:20:46):
Wasn't Look, I've been retired for the last seven years,
so it was well truly prior to that. But they
did sell the brand. It did belong to Fonterra, and
there was a little controversy, controversy over the fact that

(01:21:06):
the brand was sold because it's very iconic, but at
the end of the day, as some ingredients market and
we fortunately own the ingredients.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
Yeah, I don't know what it's going to mean with
all the mainland and the butter and the stuff sold
to I don't know what that's going to mean for prices.
I think probably people are quite concerned about that with
the cost of living crisis.

Speaker 19 (01:21:31):
I don't think it's going to affect the average housewife
or family. I think it's going to be extremely beneficial
for the shareholders, the Jerry farmers that supply the product
fresh every day, and I think it's a win win

(01:21:53):
for everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
I think there's no way in the world that prices
won't go up.

Speaker 19 (01:22:01):
Oh well, unfortunately, that's just a fact of life supply.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
Even I think I think people I don't think people do.
Think it's the faster fact that we don't want to
get back in the whole. People are furious about the
price of butter and how it expensive it got. They think, well,
actually it's only five percent of their market. They could
probably solo some and sell it differently to New Zealand
cheaper because in the old days they'd sell stuff to
us for what it costs to produce, not for what

(01:22:28):
they could sell it for overseas. It seems to be
a different kind of economics going on now. Once upon
a time, as we'll sell this to the people and
make a bit of a profit. Now the mentality is
we could get this much overseas for it. Therefore that's
what we're going to charge the people locally.

Speaker 19 (01:22:44):
Well and factually unfortunately that's commerce. But you'd find that
most farmers, will they be dairy, shoot beef arable, are
very conscientious, conscientious people and morally they'd love to help

(01:23:06):
feed out people. Shever and I'm portray it's the fact
of life.

Speaker 8 (01:23:12):
Were costs are?

Speaker 3 (01:23:15):
Are you a current dairy farmer or next dairy farmer?

Speaker 8 (01:23:18):
No?

Speaker 19 (01:23:19):
Retired?

Speaker 7 (01:23:19):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Retired dairy farmer yes with still with sheares and Fonterra.

Speaker 19 (01:23:26):
No, no, no, I'm cashed out on seventy two.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
Okay, nice to talk. Thanks so much that sixteen past ten.
Oh someone did say that's a text I meant to
bring out earlier. M Now what have I got? Someone says,
still can't buy banana ice cream anyway? Is it a
new thing or an old thing?

Speaker 8 (01:23:50):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
Someone says, how can the light Canterbury planes cope? The
next with three thirty five thousand cows in the area,
are these farmers not worrying about the pollution and the
night trate they are leaching into the rivers and freshwater streams.
The night trates will bagger us who gave permission to
allow this unsustainable stocking rate. They have blood on their hands.
Front up you, Cordroy Corporals, and the water should be
returned cleaner than when you took of that's from don.

(01:24:14):
Someone did say that tinpeas are no longer a thing,
which I thought was weird. Oh by the way too
with that water cut off in the water to turn
to the boil of water. Notors they had large electronic
sides board signs on the sides of the road. Flip
if people want them to knock, door knock. Everyone takes

(01:24:36):
some personal responsibilit and keep a breast of what's happening
in your neighborhood. Jan and Helen chairs Vorn, Yeah, what
did someone else want to say? Someone asked about tin peas?
So I find out where the text is now, where

(01:24:59):
is this gone? I'll find it? D did gives the
call if you want to do the way up by
the way Hittle twelve oh, eight hundred and eighty eight
and Hi Paul from Messy Auckland. A bit sad seemed
canned peas have been discontinued, not at by New World
and Henderson no longer stock. It's still got beans, but

(01:25:22):
not peas, and none at Peck and Save Westgate. Anyone
know where canned peas are available? Thanks Paul. I'm gonna
say I always thought canned peas were one of those
things that were delightful. Love them. Eighteen past ten. All
the lines are free, everything's available, every every option is
available for you to talk if you want to. You

(01:25:43):
can get plainton peas at Woolworth's their own brand. Really
other places have mint flavored peas by Oak and Tonight.
Who knew I'd be happy because I got butter for
seven dollars ninety seven pack and say that's from Michelle.
It's probably gone quiet for the butter, haven't they? That
was gonna be Willison's great hope to go and see

(01:26:04):
the boss of Fontia. Then they foundly he got paid
six million dollars. It's all been downhill from her about
her since I was When have they been making a
movie about her? M Nicola willis getting touch here till
twelve n names Marcus good evening. If there's something else
you want to do, all the lines are free to
embrace your response Tonight you might want to talk about

(01:26:25):
the weekends. But I didn't watch the I watched some
of the rugby. I thought that I thought it was
I thought it was one of those games. I thought
the ref ruined it. Pedantic unity was wasn't he sending
people off and yellow carded and over explaining? Yeah, so
it wasn't happy with that at all. I thought they

(01:26:45):
kind of ruined the competition. I don't think it was
a crocodile roll either, so you might want to comment
on that too. But anything goes with my topics tonight.
I've given all my I've got, So if you've got
something else would love to hear from, you, come on jumpin'.
There might be something entirely different you want to bang
on about, and you are more than welcome that. I

(01:27:10):
haven't yet solved the problem of where the Hamilton water
comes from. If it's in the Turnal reservoir, has it
come from the river? No one can answer me that.
And why would it be contaminated by birds? If it's
in an enclosed building, must have been birds in some
pipe or something nesting or a door lift open probably
was the way. So that's something too. But yeah, anything

(01:27:32):
else you want to come on about tonight. That's what
we've got going on. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty
and nine nine two two text yep, I'm pressed to
hear that guy's stay in hospital went so well. That
was bad to wait two weeks for a die for
a dye test. Imagine the cost of keeping someone in

(01:27:54):
hospital for two weeks just so they can do a
test which could be done in the same day. That
seems to me to be a false economy. It seems
as though having a shortage of particular services and staffs
means the whole thing turns out more expensive. And one
bed is taken for two weeks and two days when
to get that test seems crazy to me, So you

(01:28:17):
might want to mention that also too. But as I say,
all the lines are free. Would like to have your
input tonight. Anything else you want to talk about too,
and anything that's triggered you to be involved with the conversation.
It'd be nice to hear from you. The albatrosses are
back in Dunedin. Also, I can tell you that Kiwis

(01:28:37):
are losing limbs and record numbers. Diabetes is costing a
record number of their toes, feet and legs. Yep, that
sounds little bit grim. Actually, yeah, eleven hundred and eighty

(01:29:07):
one amputations in the year of twenty twenty three twenty
twenty four, a toll that's grown by fifty five percent
under a decade cheapest. Thirteen diabetics younger than thirty had
amputations are once unthinkable medical trauma resulting from an obesees

(01:29:31):
crisis turbo charged by cheap junk food. So eleven hundred
and eighty one amputations yep, three hundred thousand people living
with type two diabetes. That's five percent of the population.

(01:29:52):
It says the sort mostly brought on. It says brought
I think they've been brought on by lifestyle and link
to obesity. I don't know what you'd want to say
about that, but you might want to mention that also
when it's arrowing those statistics. So there we go. There's
that also tonight and do get in touch. Twenty six

(01:30:14):
past ten, also to an UTI in christ Church. They're
complaining because they're a lack of bus service to their suburb.
Have we had a bus since the twenty eleven quake.
That's terrible in particularly, it's an area of people are
probably elderly and need have no other way of getting

(01:30:34):
around they can't drive. Yep, so twenty six par But
mainly it's about the birthdays. So yeah, I think yeah,
I think Jan got have a bit of a grizk. Yeah, anyway,
I won't blame I mean, for a while that seemed
like the future is having your day off on your birthday.
But I think some well, I guess, I guess for

(01:30:55):
a lot of people just seem to be a bigger,
bigger work expense, didn't it. Yere, Wayne Marcus, welcome. How
are you good, Wayne? How's yourself? What's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:31:06):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:31:06):
Yeah, good?

Speaker 23 (01:31:07):
I guess I talked about about birthdays. At my work,
we take we have a paid day off, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
Which you've got to take on that actual have You've
got to take it on that actual day.

Speaker 23 (01:31:18):
You've got to take it on where you can take
it on that day. Sometimes you can adjust it to
other days as well with the management. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
Yeah, yeah, So you can check it onto a weekend,
can you.

Speaker 23 (01:31:31):
Yeah, you can check it onto a weekend, yes, yes, yeah,
But it's it's a really good opportunity to have the
day off and catch up with friends and family and
and and do the birthday thing with with whoever you
want to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
With, you know, yeah right Wayne. What happens if your
birthdays on a weekend.

Speaker 23 (01:31:51):
Well, you either have it on the Friday or the Monday. Yeah, yeah,
you can choose which day you want to have it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Yeah, son, fact, it's just another public it's just another
holiday of the year. You've got your ends Act Day,
and you've got your Eastern and then you've got your
birthday as well.

Speaker 23 (01:32:05):
Yeah right, yeah, but it's good to celebrate it. And
they also give out chocolates as well to you and
our cards to say from all the management to say,
I wish you have a great birthday.

Speaker 3 (01:32:19):
Well that's good.

Speaker 23 (01:32:19):
What sort of chocolates, well, a Cabrey chocolates, you know,
all sorts of chocolates, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:27):
Yeah, please do please to hear that way, John, This
is Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:32:30):
Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 7 (01:32:33):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
John? What's up?

Speaker 2 (01:32:36):
Well, A couple of things being on my mind the
last couple of days, especially with the fifteen thousand young people,
which are your parents, are going to have to sort
of help them out a little bit in life. Fifteen
thousand out of five million point two doesn't seem to

(01:32:59):
be a lot of problem to me, and I suppose
what most people sort of think about it as well.
It's going to help your lives as they get off
a doll, but therese other ways of helping them get
off a doll.

Speaker 8 (01:33:12):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (01:33:14):
You know, there appears to be no jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:33:16):
John Well, training is a way training, and you know,
training for the future and focusing on that is I
think a better to all than actually coming out with
your whip and saying, right you, parents, we're going to
struff your life over again. You're only getting sixty five

(01:33:39):
thousand point five. How about you get into a bit
more debt and take your kids on now.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Because species, they gave so much species, they gave so
much to landlords. What do you want to say about
butter as well? The headlines coming.

Speaker 2 (01:33:54):
Up, Yes quickly on the butter. The Big Corpse and
the government are in on it together. They don't care
about you or me and the butter. They just want
to charge us as much as they can so they
you know, they cough us get the tags and the
corporates get the money. We should start our own farms up.
But the government won't do that either because it upsets
the corporates. So that's sort of what I had in

(01:34:16):
mine with the butter.

Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Be nice. If someone did set up and you said
in company just about the butter, I'm sure they could
do it quite well. But anyway, I see the prices
coming down slightly. Thanks for your call. John. Marcus visited
a friend today and hospital in South Auckland and so
many people were in beds in the corridors as no
space is available for sad to see. And there was
our caller previously that was there for two weeks two

(01:34:41):
days just to get a dye test. I'm not saying
just but as soon as he had the test he
could go a lot of its bad management. Marcus had
me to buy tin peas for a couple of months
now from New World and New Plymouth got some from Woolworth,
their own brand. Think they were canned in France. France

(01:35:01):
will call that won't be getting any more of those,
not the same as watties. My husband loves tin peas,
he might have to make do with frozen ones. Maybe
you could tend your own.

Speaker 7 (01:35:19):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
Some wants to know, but I don't know what I iags.
Don't they Australian Company think they might be anyway, huntil
twelve o'clock. Oh wait, one hundred eighteen saty and nine
nine to text you want to be a part of it?
Birthdays in the workplace and back on butter birthdays and
back on butter if you want to be a part

(01:35:45):
of it. Good, good, goody good good twenty eight tweleven.
By the way, the first ball in the cricket was
a wicket. This is the white ferns versus South Africa
A oh gosh it with Susie Bates out LBW who

(01:36:06):
is ball? So she was the one that was going
for a record for a number of international matches, so
that's kind of devastating for her. Gloria Marcus welcome, Yeah,
good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:36:19):
The comments about the government changing the rules so that
if your kids leave school and just go straight on
the benefit, but they're going to make the parents responsible, Well,
the parents are going to have to they're going to
have to live free obviously at home with their parents
until they get a job and if the parents earn

(01:36:40):
under what certain amount of money six dollars. Yeah, I
personally being an older person now and having raised kids
and got them working and everything, and I think it's
a really good idea because my kids knew. They didn't
leave school until either they were going to wintech university

(01:37:01):
or they had a job. There's no sitting around home
on the benefit. And I've recently talked to a couple
of young fellows.

Speaker 3 (01:37:09):
No way.

Speaker 24 (01:37:09):
They said, both, no way, I am not getting off
the benefit. I get more money of the gloria.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
Where were these people you spoke to.

Speaker 24 (01:37:19):
Oh, there's young people.

Speaker 8 (01:37:21):
Where was this.

Speaker 17 (01:37:23):
In town?

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
Which town?

Speaker 24 (01:37:26):
Hamilton?

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
So you just went up to them and said.

Speaker 24 (01:37:29):
No, no, no, no, no, no it was I'm not
going into all the details.

Speaker 3 (01:37:34):
Because this is important to you. Put up the situation,
because I don't know if it's true.

Speaker 24 (01:37:39):
Yeah, okay, right. What happened was I was in town
and I was parked and next door to the motels
where they had where the homeless people in that stay,
you know, and they were fighting away these I was
a bit concerned because there was a girl and a
guy fighting, not physically fighting, but yelling at each other

(01:38:02):
out up on the out outside, on the on their corridor, outside,
on their decking thing. And anyway, at least called it
off and the girl went inside and I said to
the young fellow, what are you doing here? What are
you doing hanging around?

Speaker 11 (01:38:18):
Go get a job?

Speaker 8 (01:38:19):
What are you?

Speaker 24 (01:38:21):
What are you spending your life fighting with each other?
Get a job and then you better off. Got something
to look forward, something to do. We were designed to
go to work, not sit around all day. And no,
I'm not going to work. I get more money on
the benefit.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
And how old were they were? They were they sixteen seventeen?

Speaker 24 (01:38:39):
No, no, no, no, no, no, it's this fella. It
was eighteen twenty or twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (01:38:43):
Year This wouldn't be effect, this wouldn't affect. This is
a different thing, this thing. Yeah, well this is about
eighteen eighteen and nineteen year old sisters.

Speaker 24 (01:38:53):
Yeah, but you know what the other big problem is
in New Zealand they go on about no job why
And I'm not I am not being racist or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:39:03):
Going to move on. Twenty three away from eleven o'clock,
eight hundred and eighty ten. George Marcus, welcome, Yeah, hi,
you were.

Speaker 18 (01:39:09):
Mentioning ice cream. Yes, just a segway.

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
Wait, well thanks for the segway. I don't think I'm
not being racist, but anyway, yes, one.

Speaker 18 (01:39:21):
Thing I do notice, I like I used to like
chocolate chip ice cream which was orange with chocolate chips
made by tip Top.

Speaker 3 (01:39:29):
Have they have they stopped making it?

Speaker 8 (01:39:31):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:39:32):
I used to get it years ago, lovely flavor, enjoyable
chocolate chips. Now the orange flavor is only half the flavor,
and the chocolate chips are as hard as rocks.

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
Do you think that might be your own flavor? Your
own taste? PUDs have gone.

Speaker 18 (01:39:47):
I've getting old year. I know memory, you know the
good old days, you know when when an orange was
off the tree straight into the ice cream, so that.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
My flavorite flavor probably would be orange chocolate chip. It's
got a it's got an, there's something beautiful. I mean,
it doesn't taste like orange, but it's got a nice
taste to it.

Speaker 18 (01:40:05):
Yeah, but it's not as much oranges it used to be.
That's what I'm saying. It's like they're putting less in there.

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
Yeah, but I'm saying that might be your taste. Bud's
going with old age.

Speaker 18 (01:40:13):
Oh, I know it's bad a yeah, but I don't
talk about ice cream in general. We bought some of
that cheaper Moors ice cream because you know, leads less
price than the tiptop one. Brought it home and that
was fine, served it up. My wife didn't want to
eat it. Also, it's sat in the plate and I thought, oh,

(01:40:36):
that'll just melt, but it didn't. It's set up like
a meringue, and I'm going, it's a worry. It didn't melt.
It's just sat. So I played around with it. It's
all slippery. So I ended up reading the packet ingredients
and it doesn't say ice cream. It says it's frozen dessert,
and I go, what's that meaning?

Speaker 7 (01:40:53):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:40:54):
Yeah, so I rang up Moor's. I rung up the factory.
I'm sorry. So it's not made with milk. It's made
with oil, oil and the maulsifier so it looks like
ice cream. And they had lots of sugar and it
so it won't freeze at the flavors and all the
rest of it. So it's actually an ice It's not
an ice cream because with more investigation, ice cream has

(01:41:14):
to have more than twenty percent of milk product in
it or otherwise they can't call it ice cream. So
I go, okay. Now I noticed that Tiptop has brought
out their Mooi range, which is not ice cream either.
It's also frozen.

Speaker 3 (01:41:29):
Hold on what rangees it called? I've never heard of
this mooly.

Speaker 18 (01:41:33):
It's a cheaper run by tiptop.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
How's how's mooly spelled?

Speaker 9 (01:41:38):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:41:39):
I can't.

Speaker 8 (01:41:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 18 (01:41:39):
If you don't find a.

Speaker 3 (01:41:40):
Liver, well, how do you think it'll be spelled?

Speaker 18 (01:41:42):
U L l oh?

Speaker 7 (01:41:45):
I think was something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:46):
Molo is it?

Speaker 18 (01:41:49):
Yeah, so that's frozen desert. Once again. They are now
competing with the other company to make an oil based
ice cream, and so I talked to the manufacturer. I said,
what are you using? And I think they said canola oil,
And that's why it tastes incident, it's more slippery, it's

(01:42:10):
a different type of texture, and so you either get
the genuine one that's called ice cream. And the only
way they can have the word ice cream on the
packet is if there is over twenty two percent of
milk product in the packet. Otherwise it's got to be
called frozen dessert. And when they do that, it's not
made with milk anymore. It's being made with the majority

(01:42:31):
of an oil product with detergents to make it all set.
So I just thought you might be interested if I'm
not talking to myself, No, you're not.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
I'm just looking at it now. It has a Tiptop
written on it, proudly made in New Zealand. Doesn't say
Tiptop on it. They're hiding from the fact, aren't they.

Speaker 18 (01:42:54):
Well they are now it was originally tiptop on it?

Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
Is it tip Top?

Speaker 18 (01:43:00):
Yes, it's made by the same crowd as Tiptop, but
they are making the range that the other guys are
doing to compete with them, to get the price down
because it's a cheaper product. You'll get that for four
ninety five five dollars five ninety nine regularly, where your
genuine ice cream is seventy eight.

Speaker 3 (01:43:19):
It says it's made by Dub Dub dub dot muchmore
dot co dot MZ.

Speaker 18 (01:43:23):
No, that's the other ones.

Speaker 3 (01:43:24):
No, well look this at this, I'm literally literally on
a mulu pecket.

Speaker 18 (01:43:30):
Okay, well, then they've changed it, they've taken it over. Okay,
now it's made by tiptop.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
Okay, we'll find out more. George, thank you. Eighteen away
from eleven, Chris, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:43:44):
Oh good evening, Marcus. Yeah, I just resonated with that, gentleman.
On now talking about the More much more ice cream.

Speaker 3 (01:43:53):
Yes, I bought it a week while.

Speaker 25 (01:43:55):
Ago and I wasn't that impressed with it. I didn't
have the texture of ice cream. I knew that, and
I thought I won't buy it again. Even though it
was cheaper, it wasn't to me ice cream personally. My
favorite brand is Deep South. Oh anyway, that's a really

(01:44:16):
nice ice cream, but much more. A lot of the
dairies sell it to you know, if you go in
and buy in the cone ice cream as well, but
it's definitely not up with Tip Top or Deep South brand.
So now I know why because I didn't read it
like that gentleman just gone before me. But yeah, it

(01:44:36):
was something weird about the texture and how it didn't
how the melting process was. You know, I didn't like
what I saw, but I didn't like head oil in it.
The only saving grace is he said it was canola oil,
did he?

Speaker 8 (01:44:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:44:55):
Look yeah, yeah, at least I thought he was going
to say palm oil for a minute.

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
But hang on, but he said that. What I didn't understand, right, Yeah,
how come next us called ice cream because it's not
ice cream? Because it hasn't got enough stuff for it
to be called ice cream, has it?

Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
Well?

Speaker 25 (01:45:17):
I didn't bother taking such notice of it when I
bought it in the freezer.

Speaker 24 (01:45:23):
I've heard of it.

Speaker 25 (01:45:24):
I've had it from dairies.

Speaker 3 (01:45:27):
But the Mulu stuff is the frozen dessert. They must
also do an ice cream range.

Speaker 25 (01:45:33):
I think, Oh, is that the tip top one the Muloo.

Speaker 3 (01:45:37):
No, the Mulu is much more as well, But that's
the one that's a that's just that's not ice cream.
It's just called frozen dessert because it hasn't enough butterfat
at it.

Speaker 9 (01:45:48):
I thought he said that, Yes, I.

Speaker 17 (01:45:50):
Think he was.

Speaker 3 (01:45:51):
I think he was confused. He said they've moved on.

Speaker 25 (01:45:54):
Yeah, but I certainly would prefer my ice cream to
be made with milk or dairy anyway, so I won't
be buying it again. And I don't really think it
was any cheap, so when you get the others on
special tip Top Deep South, you can get them for
a good price on special.

Speaker 24 (01:46:16):
Deep South.

Speaker 25 (01:46:17):
I'm not sure where it's actually made, but it's a
very nice ice crane.

Speaker 3 (01:46:21):
A little bit about that. It used to be made
in the cargo out there Odapenny Road, and I've actually
been to the factory. But it's not made. It's not
made there anymore. I see on there, I see that
it's probably made. I can't find a news to I
see it's probably made or the head officers are Motawaka.

Speaker 25 (01:46:41):
Ah oh, well, I'll have to do some reading in
the freezer section when I'm in the supermarket.

Speaker 12 (01:46:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:46:48):
So I don't I don't know. I don't know where
it is made. Now I can't find I can't find
anything about it.

Speaker 25 (01:46:55):
Ah, that would be a shame. I thought I thought
it was down obviously down south on Dunedin, but I
thought it was south of Dunedin anyway, So.

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
No, I don't think it is. In fact, I think
it was. Then I think it was owned by Sinlay
who had sold it to Talli's, so I think it's
really Yeah, so it's probably owned by Telly's.

Speaker 8 (01:47:16):
Now is it?

Speaker 25 (01:47:18):
Maybe we should all stip to tip top it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:21):
Says dairy Works Recently. Dairy Works, recently acquired by New
Zealand dairy and infant formula business sin Lay Milk, is
selling a non core asset to a local food manufacture.
Dairy Works is selling its Deep South ice cream brand
to a local company. The sale of the brands Social
Operations to Talli's Tallis is based in Motawakes. That's where

(01:47:43):
it's gone, so it's clearly gone there. Pretty interesting. Fourteen
to eleven. I think they're the ones in the courts
TV in Dead at the moment backcine. So on the wise,
it's been announced that Jilly Cooper has died at eighty eight.
She was the person that wrote romantic fiction. I think
it was all in the Horsey set. I'm pretty sure

(01:48:06):
was in the horse he said, correct me if I'm wrong, keV.
Thanks for hanging on there. It's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:48:12):
Yeah, get a mate house aging confidence on you showing me.

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
Thanks Keiv.

Speaker 7 (01:48:15):
Hey, you're talking before about my person that waited a
week in Middlemo for a diet to be put through.
I've been on award here since. It's a month exactly today,
and I came in because my heart's playing up and
I've got blood heart failure and I've got down to
more I lost what do we want? Klos and fluid

(01:48:37):
that I come in with. But I should have been
home nearly two weeks ago except for a nurse left
a lure and my sorry a yeah, a lure in
my arm and it got infected. The next nurse that
come in and I asked you, I'll say, hey, I've
got a hell of a lot of pain. I've got
a bus coming out of my arm. This is an art,
it's fine. Next nurse come in and said, that's coming

(01:48:58):
out straight away. You've got infection. So since then, I've
been battling an infection that's gone into my foot, into
my eye. I've had that's th week. I've been ten
trips into Green Lane in an ambulance. So from this
negligence of his nurse, so there's ten trips to green Lane,

(01:49:19):
twine up ambos that could be doing other work, and
each time I have to have an HCA or a
healthcare assistant traveling with me because that's Minimal's policy. So
that takes her off the ward. And how much does
that Costs's crazy and money mate, through negligence of a urs.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
Keiv the goal. Then I've also keV just the guy
that rung up earlier, he's eighty nine or not he was,
he was in the Waikata hospital, but he was waiting
two weeks and two days for the dye test. So
that's crazy as well.

Speaker 7 (01:49:50):
Isn't it absolutely made. It's ridiculous. And you know what,
it's the management tree. It needs shaking from the top
to the bottom, mate, and all those management people just
need to fall off and just beyond a doll queue, mate,
because that's where it starts.

Speaker 3 (01:50:05):
What's the row now, Kevin? They got it sorted.

Speaker 7 (01:50:09):
Finally. Antibotics are working. Oh. The infection of my eye
led to my retina detaching from my eye, so I
had to a voice surgery on Saturday, and we went
back today for checkup. And now I've got a cataract
from the operation. The front gas in your eye to

(01:50:30):
help heal it, and the guests and the floating or
going into my system quick enough, So now that's form
the cataract. So I'm on drugs and stuff is and
doesn't get better by a week's time, and I have
to have a cataract operation on again, costing you and
I are taxpayers money through absolute negliance that didn't need
to happen.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
You take care, keV. Nice to hear from you. Aid
away from a living Yeah, Peter sticks away from Peter
and s Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 8 (01:50:58):
Yeah, I'm ringing from my own dinner.

Speaker 3 (01:51:01):
Oh God, thank you, travel of points.

Speaker 8 (01:51:06):
Yeah. The first thing you knew about it was when
the maybea when it came over the radio.

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
God, where's the water coming from?

Speaker 8 (01:51:18):
Well, no, they can't. They can't tell us, really, they
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:51:26):
No, not where does the not where does the pollution
come from? Where does that does the water come out
of the right wa on the river? Yeah, and they
stored it up there for for for to get its
pressure up. Is that the situation?

Speaker 8 (01:51:38):
Yeah? This your when it's treated and all that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:42):
Ye, So pigeons must have gone into something.

Speaker 8 (01:51:45):
Yeah, something he's gonna Now another another point here, did
gentlemen say Frontiera owned tip Top? Not true? I'm seemingly
on today what he owned. To my knowledge, it's forty

(01:52:05):
years ago and this Frontierra came out and knew it
was part he's in a dery covey. Is that's how
Frontier has founded?

Speaker 3 (01:52:23):
Yeah, I think the guy was. I think the guy
was saying that Fontier used trying them to the tip
tops owned by Frenisky.

Speaker 8 (01:52:30):
Yeah, it was owned by what he's before that?

Speaker 3 (01:52:34):
M Yeah is that right?

Speaker 8 (01:52:36):
Yeah? Yeah, I can remember that. Yeah. And it's still
a great old brand though. I buy. I buy tip
top two leads every week.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
What flavor?

Speaker 8 (01:52:50):
Uh, sometimes he's got a jelly tip and some hokey
pokey used.

Speaker 3 (01:52:57):
We was acquired by what he is in nineteen sixty eight.

Speaker 8 (01:53:02):
Yeah, that is that's what I thought. I thought it
had to be way back then.

Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
You know, they're got quite a good website. I'll go
through on the whole history, Petz, thanks for that. I
don't know if they had a factory making ice creams
and Winnington was an orgnanate was free every class trip,
They're always off to see the ice blocks being made.
They always gave you on too, which was good. Doesn't
say much about it there to tell you what they
used to have a return of the Jedi ice block

(01:53:28):
thirty cents an RTD two ice block. Doesn't say the
price for that, huh, head on Midnight. My name is Marcus. Welcome,
get in touch if you want to much more ice cream? Yeah, no,
not impressive. Definitely dodgy ingredients. Marcus. About that woman who
was just one breaking off your kids, exactly what decade

(01:53:50):
was she talking about? The seventies or eighties where you
got any business and asks for a job and they
give you one the day and pay you cash. These
opinionated people with no experience of trying to survive in
today's economy with no jobs, should just keep their arrogant
mouth shut. Now, what if we see in some of
these teas to Gloria all to learn some work ethics?

(01:54:12):
Goodness me, Kristen, this is Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:54:16):
Welcome Marcus, goodness, gracious mood, who has just let us
know that Jillie Cooper has passed away? Well then, Jill
Jilly Cooper.

Speaker 17 (01:54:29):
Yeah, the writer.

Speaker 22 (01:54:31):
Yeah, I have not read any of her books, but
she she was a Horsey set and my Hello magazine.

Speaker 8 (01:54:47):
She was.

Speaker 22 (01:54:52):
Represented with her little with her gorgeous grandchildren. Yes and yeah,
and she came across. It's a really loving grandmama so
to her boys, Okay, and that's hell. Yeah. And her

(01:55:13):
her recent book Rival is also a TV adaptation of
her book. Okay, yeah, so yeah, and she's to me.
I always thought of her as very English and Hawsey

(01:55:36):
set and very eccentric in her own way, but reading
about her in life in the Hello magazine this would
be a year ago. Now she's a really loving mum
and grandmama. Yes, so anyway, I love.

Speaker 3 (01:55:59):
And leave you nice to hear from you. Kristen By
the way, she survived a train crash. She was involved
in a famous train crash with thirty three people, the
Lead Grove Leadbrook Grove rail crash of nineteen ninety nine,
in which thirty one people die. She crawled through a
window to escape. I'm not familiar with that, John, It's
Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:56:20):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (01:56:21):
How are you good? John?

Speaker 11 (01:56:24):
Hey, I'm talking about the most greatest places you ever
want to eat some food? Yes, as on the Devon
Street Hotel and New Plumose As.

Speaker 3 (01:56:36):
Marbles were talked about that earlier because they'll do a
performance for your birthday apparently.

Speaker 11 (01:56:43):
Well yeah, well my mom just passed away two weeks ago,
and she she used to tell everybody, or you've got
to go to Marbles and New Brothers, You've got to go,
You've got to go in. We were doing that on
her death bed, sure, and she would be lying the

(01:57:07):
gas me through her breath. And just before she passed away,
I said, Marbles, and she was I yes, I yes, I.

Speaker 7 (01:57:17):
And I thought that was amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:57:20):
Wow. What was she meaning that she was wanted to
go there? She was she was she was understanding what
you were saying.

Speaker 11 (01:57:26):
Yes, she understood what we were saying.

Speaker 17 (01:57:28):
But I was saying to the guy.

Speaker 8 (01:57:31):
There was only one guy in the room with me.

Speaker 11 (01:57:36):
And I was I was saying, Mum, what do you want?
And she said, oh, water, And I gave you water,
and I gave you water and I gave you some
more water. And then the other girl in the room said,
we've got to go down there. Then one day then,
you know, said to.

Speaker 17 (01:57:57):
Me and you went, no, we haven't.

Speaker 7 (01:58:02):
We haven't gone down there.

Speaker 11 (01:58:04):
Because she passed away two weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (01:58:07):
Okay, nice to hear from me, John, Sorry about that.
Fifteen past eleven. How about a cricket score? Nothing in
the sports news thirty nine for one New zedand went
to bat. Susie Bates went on the first ball. Kerr
is at Miranda, She's on twenty, Plumber on twelve. I
know there's sisters. It's why they differentiate. Great show as

(01:58:27):
usual tonight. The question the majority of the adverts are
regionally based, How and who coordinates the adverts have always wondered,
Thanks Chris Hey, it's a really good question, Chris. We
have fixed times for the commercials and fixed advertisement breaks.
We have ones at fifteen past and twenty five past
and twenty five to two and quarter two and each

(01:58:50):
ad break is it's got about four slots for different commercials.
But there's something there's software is quite computer software is big.
There's always scheduling. There's always scheduling software that's been changed
with radio stations. But each radio station schedules its own

(01:59:10):
commercials and just some pulse goes through and sets off
all the commercials so they all finish exactly the same time,
and no one hears the same ads, and it's there
and this there's run of the country ads, which aren't
very often. So that's the way it works. I guess
I've been around it for a long time. But it's
quite straightforward. What seems to be straightforward, But it's all

(01:59:32):
about computers. Yeah, I think computers changed radio quite a lot.
Also too, a lot of the music stations now that
you know, the people talk about it's a great Sunday,
isn't it, But the person's probably pre recording the show
on a Friday. So this is probably the only station
where all the shows aren't unlive. Because it's talk, you
can't pre record it. But because of computers, most radio shows,

(01:59:54):
apart from the breakfast and drives would now be pre recorded.
They just read from liners and they have things to mention,
but yeah, mainly pre recorded sharing its Marcus welcome.

Speaker 20 (02:00:07):
I'll tell you good.

Speaker 3 (02:00:08):
Thank your show.

Speaker 20 (02:00:10):
Jillie Cooper.

Speaker 14 (02:00:11):
Yeah, yeah, it said that she passed.

Speaker 20 (02:00:15):
She was a lovely lady. I actually messed some when
I was working in the Cotswolds because she had stables
across the road from where I was being a nanny.
You were wondering about the books that they were all
based on Harsey events and polo.

Speaker 14 (02:00:36):
Like writers.

Speaker 20 (02:00:39):
Some of them were pretty with ruper Cambell black. Yes,
oh sorry, I went to get my phone and mind muster.

Speaker 3 (02:00:52):
I'm just seeing on the tech someone.

Speaker 20 (02:00:56):
I might have read it out, Okay, yes, yes, you
know she had a great well what's called chronicle or
box or something, and she had write writers. I can't
remember them all. I've read most of them writers, Rivals,
Hollow and all that, Impendora and some of them were

(02:01:20):
a week launch.

Speaker 3 (02:01:21):
But well we've got they've all got bedroom romps, haven't
they haven't They've all got bedroom romps. Isn't that the
style she writes?

Speaker 8 (02:01:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (02:01:34):
Yeah, yeah, she she was very ghost and like like
I said, she hit the stables across from the yard
where I was a nanny, and I was friends with
the girls that were there, and she was very, very particular.
The girls could not leave the yard until there was

(02:01:55):
no leaves or straw on the yard. She was a
lovely person.

Speaker 3 (02:02:00):
Nice to hear from his shoon. Thanks for that, dear
is Marcus welcome?

Speaker 4 (02:02:09):
Oh hello, I wanted to talk about the water. We've
got that terrible water in Cambridge and it's upsetting a
lot of people. And it's glad that you bought it
up on the radio because we're talking about it, but

(02:02:34):
didn't watch it on TV. But it was good to
listen to about it on the radio.

Speaker 3 (02:02:42):
And hang on, hang on, hang on this you haven't
got a boil notice where you are. The water is
just in northeast Hamilton.

Speaker 4 (02:02:50):
Oh well, Cambridge, we've got a rear.

Speaker 3 (02:02:53):
Den Is it on the Hamilton website? It's not, is it?

Speaker 2 (02:02:56):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:02:56):
I don't think that's I don't think it'll fix you.

Speaker 4 (02:03:00):
There perfecting a lot of people here.

Speaker 3 (02:03:03):
When when are we talking, Patter? When was this.

Speaker 4 (02:03:10):
Probably yesterday?

Speaker 3 (02:03:14):
And Cambridge?

Speaker 4 (02:03:16):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:03:17):
How did you know about it, Padda?

Speaker 4 (02:03:21):
How did we know about it.

Speaker 17 (02:03:23):
Yeah, we started.

Speaker 4 (02:03:25):
Getting together talking about it, and then one of the
guys said, but we heard it on the radio. This
was this was yesterday.

Speaker 3 (02:03:36):
No, it's only why Cut a residence supplied by the
Greenhill Boat supply point being Gordonon and Pukitaha.

Speaker 8 (02:03:44):
Oh well.

Speaker 4 (02:03:46):
They recommend from Cambridge to a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (02:03:49):
No, that's not.

Speaker 4 (02:03:52):
You cann't threat the water. It tastes horrible even if
you bore it.

Speaker 3 (02:03:57):
No, that's just no your waters. You're not affected.

Speaker 4 (02:04:01):
Oh well we think we are.

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
Okay, okay, if you're happy doing it. But yeah, I'm
certainly that's not anything I've got. Cambridge is not affected.
That's the trouble.

Speaker 8 (02:04:10):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:04:10):
They tell everyone and people miss here and all sorts
of things. It seems to be some sort of panic.
I'm looking once again at the coverage area just to
make sure certainly not Cambridge. Also talking about Jilly Cooper,
who died today at eighty eight. Oh, there's trouble in
the skies in New Zealand. An in New Zealand flight

(02:04:32):
from Los Angeles and to Auckland had to turn back
not long after takeoff. A relative of a passenger on
board told are n Z the power system overheated and
there was no air conditioning or inflight entertainment. Shortly after takeoff,
Flight n Z three experience of Technico to impact their
conditioning entertainment systems. Crew on board worked with engineers to

(02:04:54):
resolve the issue, but were able to do so. As
a precourse, the aircraft returned Los Angeles to be inspected
by our engineering team on the ground.

Speaker 7 (02:05:02):
Is it just me?

Speaker 3 (02:05:03):
Does this happen more in all with in New Zealand
At the moment, pastors will be reaccommoded on the next
available service. Safety is our utmost priority. So there you go.
That's what's happened with in New Zealand. The flight's gone
out of Los Angeles, gone for a while, then gone
back straight back there twenty six past eleven, but of
everything to know hasn't there And now the Daily Mail

(02:05:27):
is onto the story. I wonder what her nickname for
Jilly Cooper was. Dame Jilly Cooper dies aged eighty eight,
Queen of the bonk Buster, So that's the nickname of
her book. She was Queen of the bonk Buster fame
for her raunchy romance novels. It didn't seem to be expected.

(02:05:52):
It was a complete surprise to her children. Mum was
the shining light of our lives. We all accounts very
windy and christ Church to see seventeen coming back from
the ice. This is the one coming back from Antarctica
had to go around when attempting to land. That's the
information through. Jilly Cooper also wrote a children's book, The
Dark Is Rising. Hi Marcus, I'm a Storm fan. But

(02:06:17):
the momentum over the final series with the Broncos and
well deserved the victory, ye said, second half was absolute blinder.
Oh by the way, that fountain, of course, I've seen.
It's right next door, right next to Partier of the reef,
right there on the waterfront of Napier. But I need
your calls for the end of the show people, So
have you been sitting there waiting or there's something you
do want to say? Make the effort before the end.

(02:06:40):
Cricket fifty two for two Divine on zero, Plumber on
sixteen divine facing a ball now fifteen point five overs.
This is the fifty over match, not twenty overs. It's
a terrible series at twenty over series, wasn't it disaster?

(02:07:04):
Evan Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (02:07:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (02:07:07):
I think the supermoon's got something to do with all
this strong tides and big ones.

Speaker 3 (02:07:13):
Is a supermoon now, yeah? Tell me more about that.

Speaker 26 (02:07:19):
Um, we've got a supermoon on.

Speaker 19 (02:07:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 26 (02:07:27):
But the class and there's a supermoon so extra big?

Speaker 3 (02:07:31):
Does it full moon tonight?

Speaker 26 (02:07:34):
I think it is tonight?

Speaker 3 (02:07:35):
Actually maybe tomorrow doesn't feel like a film Moon's not
that light out? Okay, fill moon tomorrow?

Speaker 8 (02:07:42):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:07:43):
Anything else?

Speaker 7 (02:07:45):
Um?

Speaker 3 (02:07:47):
No, not really the tides. Have the tides been Has
the weather and the tides been high?

Speaker 26 (02:07:52):
Yeah, pretty strong tides at the moment. And yeah quite
windy up here, do not not real windy, but got
