Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd be and tonight for all your sins. We start
with a question. Not often we start with a question nothing.
This might be a good question, how many former prime
ministers in New Zealand are alive? If you think you
know you're right, work it out and let me know
what you think the answer is. How many former prime
ministers of New Zealand are still alive? What I think

(00:34):
the number is? And let me know. Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eightyan nine two nine two to text. I
was thinking about that today and I'll be curious to
know what your answer is for that one. I've got
it written down there somewhere. Well, that took me a
couple of go so if you think you can work
that one out, let me know. Eight hundred eighty to
ten eighty and nine two nine two to text. There
were one or two. I weren't quite sure if they

(00:55):
were still alive. But I did the research. I think research.
You know people say research most of the time I'm
in googling. Don't they done the research? Googling eighty nine
to texts. I want to start this one going tonight.
It would be good to hear from you if you
think you can answer this question, because I'll be curious
to know because I think probably, of course, there's one

(01:19):
less today with the death of to No. It wasn't
as to you. I think he said no to that,
Jim Bulga. But there's still a few of them around, actually,
so you let me know if you can tell me
how many think ares still alive. You might need to
do some googling, but I'm pretty sure you can come
up with this. I'm pretty sure you got this ones.
This is a call one, not a text one. Not
if we start with a question someone I like that

(01:40):
to give the kind of the list is a bit
of a kind of a hurry up at this time
of the night. So there you go. Someone said three,
the answer is three, Nest they're answering Darcy. No, they're
answering me three. I don't think it's three, but I
don't think it's twelve either. Get in touch you on

(02:00):
to talk about this. Eight hundred and eighty eighty nine
nine two to text Currie Marcus, Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Welcome Mackis who are you good?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Carry Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:11):

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Let's hear them in order.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Jeffrey Palmer ye, Jimmy Shipley yep, Ellyn Clark yep, Cindra
Jane yep, John Ky Billoon yep.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Isn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think you've missed two.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, sorry, that didn't he was from TB.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think you've missed one. Give me again.

Yep yep, Helen C.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Clark yep. To Sindra June ye, John Key bill in,
John Key Yeah, okay, sorry six seck.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'll see if anyone's got anything else to say about that,
because I think there's some more there if you've got them.
Not the current prime minister, but how many former prime
ministers are there in New Zealand? Do you think you
know the answer? Let me know. I was confused by him.
He didn't do it in order, not a problem, and
that didn't say do it in order. But I'm just
curious to know so I remember it my own mind.

(03:35):
Someone says, h five is David. Someone says the answer
is six. Let me know how many? Thinks a former
prime ministers? And US evenist and alive? Oh eight, one
hundred and eighty tenadian nine two nine to two detext. If
you think you can come through. So yeah, let's be
hearing from you about that one. By the way, I
wondered if previously, like before Jim Bolder had died, if

(04:00):
that was the most ever prime ministers that have been
alive and using it at one time. Former I think
it probably would have been. But how do you think?
What one? How many is it? What's the number? Eight
hundred and eighty ten, eighty and nine, two nine two detext.
We'll go on this one. David, this is Marcus. Welcome,
good evening.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Oh hello, Mike Marcus.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, David, what's your answer?

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Oh yeah, I guess six. But when that guy talked,
I thought, no, it's seven, Jeffrey Palmer, because Mike Moore
has died and the others have died all around there
of course, just Jenny Shipley, Helen Clark, John Key, Bill English,
just Cinder I doing, and Chris Hipkins of course. Yeah,

(04:42):
so that's seven and there are the only ones of life.
Good God, good wager on it.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
So yeah, I forgot that built that Mike Moore was promised.
He wasn't for long, was he? It was there? It
was there for two months. Yes, so it went. It
went Jeffrey Palmer, Jiffy, Jeffrey Palmer, then Jim Bulge, of
course he's died today. Then Jenny Shipley, then Helen Clark,
then John Key, then Bill English, then j Cinda r. Dern,

(05:13):
then Chris Sipkins. That's right, isn't it?

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Yep?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
And that's seven.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
So the answer was seven, although he came back and
said six that last guy, didn't he?

Speaker 5 (05:20):
So, yeah, well I'd originally thought six too, Yeah, Chriss obvious.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, well Chris Hipkins, because it's interesting the one that
went elected. Jenny Shippy wasn't elected, was she nod? And
Chris Hopkins was elected.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
They never did well, Bill English and well he could
have won in a sense, but then Bill English and
Bill Rowling, they were all lame duck, all those ones
who came in later.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
And Jeffrey Palmer he gave it over to Mike Moore.
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (05:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:48):
He was lad, so was Mike Moore all But why.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Did Jeffrey Palmer Because Jeffrey Palmer must be handed the
mental from Jim Bulgi and thought it wasn't for him?
Is that the way it worked?

Speaker 7 (05:57):
No?

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Because he was falling in the polls so much that
I was out of the country, but I followed polls
politics quite a bit. Mike Moore was seen the savior.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh yes, because he was the he was there, he
was the people's person, the single man reach masters. They
put him in there because he had the gift of
the get. He wouldn't stop talking. That guy'd ask him
a question, go for days. Okay, I've forgotten about that, David,
thanks so much for that. Thirteen past eight, David, you
agree with David, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (06:24):
He nailed it.

Speaker 9 (06:26):
Sim Prime says Chris was the missing one.

Speaker 10 (06:31):
And the.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Christopher Luxen is the current one. Yeah, okay, David. Thanks,
but it's a good start to get off with that.
Not too much, not too much controversy with that one.
Someone said, what about the National guy that lasted? What
about the National guy that lasted six weeks? I'm hearing
he was leader of the National he wasn't Prime minister.

(06:54):
That's right. Remember I can't remember his name, tall guy Knuda,
what's his name? Yeah, Maller, Todd Muller, Old Muller, Thurga. Yeah,
that's right, there was him for six weeks. I don't
know how and the leaders, so they must have gone,
must have gone Key then Bridges, then Muller, then Collins,

(07:16):
then Luxe, and I think that's the way it goes.
Thank goodness, we've got Wikipedia now seven Palmers, Shipley, Clark, Key, English,
Adurn Hipkins. Because I've done something crypto cross words. I'm
looking for the first letters. See if it spells a word.
Winston Peters was prime minister when Jasinda went on leave.
That's right. But they're acting prime minis. They're not sworn

(07:37):
as that. Chet GPT says this ten. Wow, that's really good. Yeah,
someone's put Hipkins down as Napkins. That must be that
must be something. Hell and this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:01):
Hi, I'm was phil Goff prime minister for a short while.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Look, I don't know that he will he was leader
of the opposition, Was he not?

Speaker 11 (08:10):
I can't remember.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
I had a feting it might have been prime minister
so briefly and Whinston Peters was never actually prime minister.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
He no, No, he's been acting. No, I think, yeah,
I think I don't think phill Golf was.

Speaker 11 (08:26):
I haven't got a computer at the moment, so I
can't check anyway, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Check your much check the dark raceis of your mind, Helen,
I'm doing that. Did you ever did you ever buy
anything on grab one?

Speaker 7 (08:36):
No? Really no, I haven't done any buying off of
the internet.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
No.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I've got only to be safe there with your credit
cards and things not getting scammed.

Speaker 12 (08:45):
I'm sort of bit paranoid about all that.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, I know what that's like. Ah, well, you know
what happened to me. I saw g grab ones. I
thought wow, I was just about to get into grab
one cheap holidays away, and I thought it was a
remarkable thing. I don't quite quite it was that the
same as same day deals. I think it was grab one,
or as we call it, a script a crosswed people

(09:09):
do get in touch by name. Is Marcus welcome eight
hundred eighty twenty nine two nine to text. I hope
you to talk about grade one because for a while
there were all those one day deal websites. You could
do anything but good on the pills at Padakai for
honoring them as they should. I think that's fantastic. Sixteen
past eight util midnight. The number is eight hundred and

(09:33):
eighty tenenty could even mark this is Marcus welcome, Oh
okyday Marcus.

Speaker 9 (09:38):
Look, I've always been fascinated by these what are I
considered illegitimate prime ministers got Palma and more than Shipley
and Hipkins, ones that weren't voted for.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I reckon people. The people didn't speak. It wasn't
the thing of democracy. It was some sort of gentlemen's
excuse me, within the within the.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
Cabinet exactly was. I was sitting here and I had
to open up the wiki to make sure I got
this right. But you get you get someone like so
in my lifetime. Keith Holyoke was prime minister when I
was born, and then he's replaced when he passes away.
I guess Jack Marshall stepped in for a period of time.

(10:20):
Then you get Norm Kirk passes away, you get Hugh Watt.
For seven days.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
No, what I was in for seven did not what
I was in for seven wow?

Speaker 9 (10:32):
Seven days thirty first August to the sixth of September
ninety seventy four.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Can I just can I just can I just digress
because you're like this. When I said about seven days,
what about Lyndon Johnson? They swore him and on the
plane after Kennedy got shot and Jackie Nessus was on
the plane. It was Grimez.

Speaker 9 (10:54):
Jackie Nessus is standing beside him in a blood spattered dress.
Yes that you still has her.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Husbands anyway, I didn't realize what I was Prime Minister
for seven days.

Speaker 9 (11:04):
Yeah, but no, Look, I had a problem with all
these people, but I didn't. I've always had a problem
with Jeffrey Palmer because I think Jeffrey Palmer's just a
sharker absolute. His idea of constitutional law is just it's
just Marxist madness. But him and Moore, they obviously, you know,

(11:28):
they rolled longing.

Speaker 13 (11:30):
And then.

Speaker 9 (11:32):
Was it the fact that Palmer was so unpopular and
was not gonna want to look unelectable.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I can't remember more took over. I'll tell you something.
I was doing BF and Breakfast at the time, right,
and Mike Moore would come on every week to talk
about his leadership, you know, and talk about the parliament
and stuff and be in government. Right. It ring, It
talked forever, and then he got rolled. Then he got rolled, right,
but it still ring, and no one had the heart
to tell him that the slot was no longer over,

(11:58):
So I had to continue talking to him for about
three months afterwards, you know, even though it thought it
was soda non writer, but just loved.

Speaker 9 (12:08):
It was an expressive band.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
You know, I think you know and.

Speaker 9 (12:14):
You know the left these are they they've got a
certain way about them, either authoritarian, bash.

Speaker 14 (12:25):
It into you or drill it into you with constant
repetitor you know, repetition of their talking points that is
mind numbing.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yes, and then of course up and then of course
Helen Clark was the first elected New Zealand female prime minister,
but Shippers was the first, but only because she rolled.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
By Bulgeum Shippers.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
Good lord, what what.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
I be listening?

Speaker 9 (12:53):
Oh, bless her soul a bisire. Know that whole nineties
You look at the nineties, right, that whole period from
from so second of November nineteen ninety until they're thrown
out on the tenth of December nineteen ninety nine. That
decade was nationals.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
Nothing happened in that decade.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Nothing didn't we bring an mmp oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (13:20):
But you look at the way New Zealand is an economy.
That was just the only thing they did. And a
lot of people criticize Helen Clark for this, which is wrong.
National open the immigration floodgates, they said in nineteen ninety one,
I had Korean landlord in the.

Speaker 15 (13:39):
Late early two thousands.

Speaker 9 (13:40):
You said to me, wonderful, wonderful family, wonderful Manston. Do
you know how many Koreans were in New Zealand prior
in nineteen ninety I said, I have no idea. She's
like thirty one, of which twenty were at the embassy.
We said, you how many Koreans were in New Zealand
by the in nineteen ninety five, ten thousand? Just things
like that that you didn't sort of know that was happening.

(14:03):
In a way, what they sort of subtly. Look, they
obviously got the heads up you're not going to be
able to pay for National Superowl this limited amount of population.
Well that's what they we'd heard that in the thing,
but that's effectively what drove it all open, the old
rusty gates of New Zealand immigration. Here you come on,

(14:26):
Oh no, no, look come on and please please please
please please a y e y come on Inlanders.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
You agree with the number seven?

Speaker 16 (14:35):
Do you.

Speaker 17 (14:39):
Number seven for the number of.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Promises still in existence?

Speaker 18 (14:44):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (14:44):
Well is there seven?

Speaker 2 (14:49):
So Palmer's alive goes Parma Chips ship shippers Clark Key
and English ajourn A.

Speaker 9 (15:02):
Hipkins and Luxon your luck.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Luckson's not former, he's current.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh eat alive is he?

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Is?

Speaker 19 (15:11):
He a live?

Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's all over TikTok. I'm going to run with you
your lively mark being. This is Marcus.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Welcome you get Marcus. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's seven.
He just just like you're talking about great one before.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
How could they go back? And people loved it.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
I know, I've been using it for years and yeah,
we so we we got about eight tickets for the
Cross Church a Benchure Park, and then also a few
for that Antactics center and then you know, you give
a half past deal with the fort and that's so
we normally you know, just stepping down again or book
them and stack them and use them when we want to.

(15:53):
And yeah, I've seen it. I've seen it. You go broke.
So I run the venture park and they said, oh,
they'll give you a forty percent discount if you buy
new tickets, and I was like, bug you that I've
really paid for them. So I rung the bank. I
rung the bank and they said, got some good news
for you, because you're paid by credit card you've got

(16:15):
one hundred and twenty days to dispute the charge, and
it's within one hundred and twenty days they haven't. They're
not going to provide the service. We'll just charge it back.
And so yeah, they've checked before, and it's what that's gone.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
On more credit card already, right, grab one's not a
daily deal that because some of them grab one you
can book it a hit. Well, you used to have
a book ahead, is that right?

Speaker 10 (16:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Yeah, I think you meant then they had like daily
deal things I like wafts and stuff. But no, it's
just look anyone that's booked within the last one hundred
and twenty days, they did it by credit card. Bringing
your bank and get your money back. OK.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
It's really good. It's probably the best advice I've ever
heard on talk bag Ben, because not only it's timely advice,
it's good advice and you've followed it works. That's the
talk back trifector.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Yeah, Like she told me that it'll take you about
five working days, but I logged on before on the
banking hack and now the charge has already gone.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
What's the adventure parks?

Speaker 6 (17:22):
The Adventure park has it's for the Chiliffs so you
get the cliffs at the top and you can take
your mountain bike. Yeah, but mere no, there there was
always some good deals on here, even you get the
odd one other restaurants and stuff and even accommodation providers sometimes.
And it's a shame because I didn't use it as

(17:45):
much as we used to. But yeah, definitely come in
handy when you wanted something.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
You're the real deal chaser a ben.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
I don't like being scammed, and that's what it felt like,
you know, when I heard this and then all of
a sudden, I can't log into grab one, and then
they are They're saying they're only you know, register footy
perceived face bait. You're going to pay the other sixty
I was like, it's a scheme.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
But they're again the Antarctic here. They should have done
the decent thing and just to just acknowledge them, just
honored them.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
Oh no, that was a venture part to do the
fully year to pay the sixty percent. Oh I didn't
bothering any Antarctic center. But I know some places are
on and then they have seed. But you know, if
you get a restaurant and they get a whole lot
of bookings, will they restaurant. They don't get paid until
they into into the adult code and then they get paid.

(18:37):
So they even to you know, give you a free
stake in there, and they're not rookly for anything yours.
So I can sort of understand that.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, nice to talk me, and thanks so much. If
you want to hold I'll get to you, sir as
I can. People, people of New Zealand. My name is
Marcus Welcome, eight hundred and eighty to eight. If you
want to text, God, keep texting, texting like this now
Tomorrow they mightn't be there's texts. I've got them. They're
coming in. We're talk about grab one or graboni as
we called it.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Aha.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
I worked with a guy who got thirty two dental
implants a full set on grab one. I needed three
and look for a bit but never found the right deal.
Someone said shanea Ette was leader before Luxton. I don't
think that's quite right. Someone said there's something wrong with
the audio. Is that right? There must be therefore I
wouldn't be asked what it would know Allan, This is

(19:27):
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 18 (19:28):
Yeah, today, Marcus, I just thought i'd make a quick
call and that was about this afternoon's parliamentary broadcast in
relation to jim Bolgia, I thought the level of debate
and discussion and sensitivities were exceptional. You know, I think

(19:52):
that any person who has got a thought about being
being a Kiwi should actually sit down and look at
that and listen to and think about what each politician said.
It was so very good tellikas.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
The one time Parliament behaves probably like they should be,
with a sort of amount of dignity into coromos often
when they honor people that have died, not so much
of dictories, but always good and and you know, he
was someone who's who's certainly his money and was enhanced
once he had left the office and what he did afterwards.
But Jimmy Carter, in some ways he became, he became

(20:31):
a great man.

Speaker 18 (20:33):
Absolutely. I was appreciative of the level of goodwill that
was expressed between each of the speakers. It was I
thought quite quite fabulous. Really, you know, I have told
several friends about it since they thought parliament nothing in there,
but now it was worthwhile.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'm thinking Alan, which of the members of Parliament were
there during his time, apart from Winston.

Speaker 15 (21:02):
Well.

Speaker 18 (21:06):
I think Kerry Brownlee.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
For yes, it would well have been. Could well, it
seems to have been Forlivia quite right. Years could well
have been. That wouldn't be many though, would there not?

Speaker 18 (21:15):
Really? Not really? But you know, putting that aside, I
haven't got haven't actually thought about the makeup of the
house beyond that, you know, But I just wanted to
sort of ring and make that point. One of the
callers every Wrong was articulating things that I found quite

(21:36):
sort of difficult, and I thought, gee, was today was
a good example of how things could be if we
could encourage more goodwill.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I wonder when our next farmer prime minister will be?

Speaker 18 (21:50):
When our next one farmer farmer? Wouldn't have a clue
When I remember years and years and years ago when
I was at the Blind Foundation, a former prime minister
used to come by on a Saturday morning and take
me out in his car and we'd go and do

(22:13):
one of the suburbs and we would go door knocking.
You know, I learned a lot from that man.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
It was it ethical, I help you take Did he
take you as a conversation starter?

Speaker 6 (22:29):
No?

Speaker 18 (22:30):
When a long as a friend?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, who was the
Prime Minister, David Longie. Oh of course I understand, now, okay.

Speaker 18 (22:37):
Yeah, yes, so that was it. But David was very
very good. Well, he's a good friend to me when
I was at the Blind Foundation. He was a student
at Auckland University at the time.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
And how did how did you meet him? How did
you guys paths cross?

Speaker 18 (22:56):
Well, initially I just I don't know, I can't remember.
I can't remember how we met. But we were actually
quite good connection in that early stage. And yeah, so
I was always very humbled hearing him speak, and he

(23:17):
was someone who I thought had a great connection with people.
I saw him with connection with people and it was
good value.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
He would have been Ellen, He must have been a
sensational doorknocker.

Speaker 18 (23:31):
He was.

Speaker 19 (23:32):
He was, Oh.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah, I can just see it. I can just see
it now, you know, just wonderful.

Speaker 15 (23:42):
It was good.

Speaker 18 (23:42):
But we did that on Saturday mornings and the electorate
was mister Tad's elector.

Speaker 19 (23:47):
That were working.

Speaker 18 (23:50):
Yeah, so yeah, it's just worthwhile. But that's I ran
to tell us, and I say the thing that again,
I appreciated this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 20 (24:02):
Ellen.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Always good get in touch. My name's Marcus here. What't
that guy good on grab one?

Speaker 5 (24:09):
Though?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Way offering the advice cancelor pay on credit card? Cancel it?
How could you go bag with that company? I think
we used to own it ended and me, but I
think when we used to own it, right, you could
just it would a great company, be a great company
for a broader media company to own, because you could
advertise any spare advertising slots in your schedule. You could

(24:30):
just check your ads for grab one in there, because
that's probably how it works. I don't know, I hadn't
heard of it since it'd gone to this new company.
It disappeared Credit crunch and all that. They must have
had the money to promote it, because for a long
time it was full of those daily deals and all
sorts of things vouchers. What was about? What don't know

(24:51):
when it was about fifteen years or twenty years ago
Marcus Grubbed one purchased by credit cord the last niney days,
maybe we've were reversed by the bank. Pete fulm Avin.
Well don't that guy that got thirty two dental implants
on grab one? That's the interview, isn't it? Someone said
what about Jim McLay. Jim McLay was only a leader
of the National Party, wasn't prime minister by my understanding.

(25:15):
Pretty sure, that's right, and people get confused by that.
He was deputy prime Minister and still love No. Yes,
there you go, the ninth Deputy Prime Minister and leader

(25:35):
of the National Party, leader of the opposition from twenty
nine November eighty four to twenty nine March eighty six.
Then he got sent to Honolulu as a console General
Hitdal twelve. One of those Marcus welcome, grab one and
anything else in a general discussion. I've enjoyed it greatly

(25:56):
and I'll continue to enjoy it because been a hobby broadcaster.
One of the great gigs is Global Cat Day.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
The only cats I'm interested in ones are those ones
with the extra fingers. I love those. It's also World
Allergy Awareness Day. Anyone got a very interesting allergy? And
by interesting, I mean something that's an allergy that we
think cheapest creeper is how could you be allergic to that?
So you might be allergic to Wednesdays or to I

(26:30):
don't know what else you could be allergic to. It
does say you how you can you can on a
World Aware Allergy Awareness Day, you can host an awareness
chat with your triggers and symptoms. So it's all on tonight.
We're a broad Church twenty two to nine yep pi
A yep PIA. Keep you updated with the news when
that happens. If we got news, it's out on your people.

(26:57):
You know, I never thought of going to listen to
parliament tonight today there's no speaker. I've never once in
my life thought what I'm going to do is listen once.
Let's don't speaker. The British Parliament's fun to watch because
there's plenty there. Every time you've seen you's hell in
parliament there's about four people, which is the way it works.

(27:20):
But say what you will about that. We're oh twenty
away from nine. I'm pretty pretty keen on your grab
one story. Is what your great grab one's success has been.
I don't know actually what you could do with it.
I think that for a while you got a website,
there was all sorts of offers, but I don't know
so much. Now I feel like, yeah, so if anyone

(27:41):
knows about grab one, it seems it's good for it.
Don't take this the wrong way. But grab one seemed
to be good for the same sort of things you
used to win in mystery envelopes, like a free portrait
setting in one of those things. But I don't know
how long I've been around for. I'm on their website now, ah,

(28:02):
check back later. The website's out already. So if you're
a grab one person, if you're obsessed with I'm sure
of it. I don't know, and I don't know what's
changed that that model is no longer a good model.
What's replaced it? And surely it's something I was an
app on the internet, but I don't quite know what
that app is. So if you're about grab one, that's
good for us. Tonight we'll talk about that. That's what

(28:25):
we're all about. Grab one and Prime Ministers and Geef
Fancy Allenung door Knocking with Old David Longie eighteen to nine.
If you want to be a part of a hit
till twelve, anything else you want to mention, that's what
we're about tonight. Love to hear from you. Hopefully you've
got to smooth a night with the traffic. Marcus pt

(28:49):
was not David Shearer in the mix of PMS at
some stage, great show. He was the leader of the opposition.
There was the Year of the Three Davids. Was it
two David's David Shearer, David Cunliffe, and there might be
another David in there as well. I can't remember. Well
then it was Phil Goff was it? Or the other
order around? I feel there was a third day, but
not sure who they were. Welcome people, you want to talk. Oh,

(29:16):
someone wants to know whether anyone predicted Jim Bulge's death.
Dan to know. The major prediction ready this year is
the Spice Girls reforming, which I predicted, but I get
ten guesses by the way. This festival in Warnaker this year.
Joan Jet and Iggy Pop like time travel a so

(29:41):
there we go. Was there a movie about Joan Jet.
I think there was. It was quite good, so she'd
be a fair age now. The Runaways twenty ten, fifteen
years ago was a good film about the Runaways, the
all girl rock band that she was in, Um Kristen
Surett was Joan Jet. But yeah, so they are playing

(30:07):
in Warnica and that's just been announced today. I don't know,
I mean, I don't know really how many songs she had.
I love rock and Roll, Crimson and Clover. There was
something else, was it Crimson? Anyway that's been announced today
that they will be performing. I think I don't know where.
I think that might be the new Oh there was

(30:28):
a festival and a really kind of a sun trap
valley that always looks scorching hot, and I think they've
moved it now from there to Warnica. But she's going
to be playing Iggy Pop and Jones Yet will be
playing in Topoor Fittianga and Warnica yep. Also the Hoodi
Gurus will be playing at Warnica's three Parks outdoor Arena.

(30:50):
There we Go Music's bag, So that's happening. Hood Guruz
would be pretty good. They're always good in the day.
What's my scene? But a sweet it's a good song too.
Fifteen to nine. If you want to come through, grab
one Prime Minister, anything else that's got your fancy tonight, Marcus,

(31:11):
What we are? The nine Predictions? Well, lux and to
wear crocs? What were they down round the Bay is canceled.
Luxe and to wear Crocs? Greyhound racing band Pablo the
Missing McCaw goes back to Russell Coronation Street to finish

(31:34):
the Pacific garbage patch or guia catches, fire proof unearthed
that three masons built the Prince. I can't even work
out where that came from because it's not something I
believe in. Yes, Dick van Dyke lives to one hundred.
So while people predicting well known people dying, unpredicting them
to live justin Bieber to become a priest or a cobbler,

(31:56):
and there to be a e bike related death on
the rail trail, we've actually got twelve predictions, but two
of them become right, the Greyhounds and the Spice Girls.
So that wasn't the Spice Girls one, was it. Someone
said Shane that Ettie was interim leader for five days
after Collins was ousted, before Luxon was leader. Well, they

(32:19):
wouldn't have been prominency. He just would have been leader
with the opposition then. And I don't even know that
that was true. You might be right, But Luxton is
the first national leader since English. It went Key English
Luxon and before that Bulge is Shipley, Key, English, Luxon
or Luxton. As people continue to text through his name,

(32:39):
more people text Luxton than not. They're remarkable that people
in this country take great delight and misspell. I'm sure
it's deliberate, deliberately subliminal. Thirteen to nine, ten from nine,
Good evening, people, Welcome. We are talking about oh I
predicted that Trump would get the Peace Prize and noble person.
I got that one wrong too. No one predicted grab

(33:02):
one had gone in the predictions. But you'm festated about that.
If you were someone that was involved with grab one
used at what were the things that you had on it?
I think grad one's quite famous because they famously did
that in April's Fool's Day prank when they had vouchers
for dolphin rides, which I thought was great because who
doesn't want to ride a dolphin? But clearly it's the

(33:23):
wrong thing for the dolphin, isn't it because the dolphin's
not consenting to be ridden. But yeah, that was good.
You might have remembered that that was kind of a
viral thing in the day before things went viral. Nine
away from nine, with it till twelve. Welcome if you
want to be a part of the show. And now
I can't stop singing Crimson and Clover. Hm. How old

(33:43):
I hate to say it, but how old would Joan
jet be? I mean that shit. Wow, age is just
a number but cheap. I'm not as old as I thought.
Sixty seven, and Iggy Pop would be old, he'd be
seventy five. Would you not that there's anything wrong with
old people touring? Roger Whittaker was great till the end.

(34:08):
Seventy eight. Goodness, it looks like one of these days
he looks like one of the guys from Monty Python.
I think it's Eric Idle. Nine to nine. If you
want to be a part of the show, Marcus Marcus,
you remember when that woman rang Up was going on
and on about how Justinda couldn't say her own name.
Must have been before the election twenty twenty. You loved it.

(34:30):
You let her go on for ten minutes. Wonder how
she says Luxeon. I don't remember that, Marcus. How many
bites drink? I can get this Mecca's cheeseburger down and
I wouldn't push it, but three would be my answer
back soon. Seven to nine, Josh Marcus.

Speaker 8 (34:47):
Welcome, Yeah, hey, Marcus, So you're doing good.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Josh loving your voice by the way, Josh putting just
putting that out.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
There, Oh god, I just cleaned my throat.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, no, that comes through it coming through. If it's faultless,
it don't believe you get a future in AI or
something it's that good.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
Hey, I got a grab One story for you, man.
And this was what ten twelve years ago. I was
in between jobs. I came out of a job and
wanted to pick up some sort of easy work, what
I thought, But now I got an opportunity to manage

(35:24):
a small cleaning company where the guy that set it
up he flogged off a bunch of grab ones, which
is nothing wrong with that. He floated his startup by
pre selling a service and that was house cleaning and
carpet cleaning. So he says, do you want to manage

(35:48):
this company? So yeah, I got involved, and yeah it
was pretty busy.

Speaker 13 (35:58):
Man.

Speaker 8 (35:59):
When I realized there was no staff, that was a
major thing. And we pretty much done all the jobs
to fulfill the obligation on the grab ones. And I
bailed after that.

Speaker 6 (36:20):
Too much.

Speaker 8 (36:23):
Sheneticin's going on in the background.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Is it a good way to start a business or
a terrible way to start it? It sounds quite smart, but
nothing was in place.

Speaker 21 (36:33):
Now.

Speaker 8 (36:33):
It was a flash website. The guy was English, she
lived in Vietnam and she met me in Auckland. Like
I guess the whole thing was was a front, right,
it was all marketing and website and all looking flash,

(36:56):
but behind the under the bonnet, a single manager trying
to do yeah man and and no, I was that
was pretty bad man because he he he actually hired
a couple of guys that I had to help with
transport and I didn't know I had to handle the

(37:24):
customer service. Why I was actually actively working like on site,
you know, doing doing the cleaning.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
So do you remember how much you do you remember
exercising for a clean Josh?

Speaker 8 (37:40):
It was because there's carpet cleaning of Bulge as well.
He is doing a deal where you could get a
his his aiming for the end of tendancy type cleaning,
and he was saying you could get a deal for
the carpet cleaning of the whole house and the clean

(38:00):
for like three point fifty or something something around there.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I think we.

Speaker 8 (38:06):
Even even pre sold vouchers for whole house carpet cleaning
for like one hundred and fifty bucks. And I was like,
whoa dude, what are you doing? I was like, how
much bug getting?

Speaker 6 (38:22):
You know, not much?

Speaker 8 (38:24):
What's come On, but hey, look, I guess.

Speaker 11 (38:31):
Just I guess.

Speaker 8 (38:32):
Well, the lesson I learned was there wasn't really any company.
It was just a flash website and a lot of
effort in advertising and marketing, and there was no guts
to the to the business.

Speaker 22 (38:46):
Good.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
It's a good story, Joe. It's a really good story
for all sorts of reasons. Thanks so much for that.
Hitdle twelve spiking a bit, get in touch, people welcome.
We're talking about grab One and Jimbalja and prime ministers. Interesting, great,
an interesting email from Meredith Hi Marcus. I watched all
the speech today. Here is my take. Luxon's was dry
and legs and Serahiti. He didn't know Bulgers, so his

(39:08):
speech was a searched one. Hipkins delivered an excellent speech
of conversations and of Jim's, of Jim's achievements. He started
in today and finished with the Irish blessing for removing
Winston Peters. Seemed a bit froud. Ay didn't speak for long.
It was a more political speech. Debbie Naropaka spoke free
well and spoke of Bulge's work to address Maldi claims.

(39:29):
She said he was the best prime minister since Michael
Joseph Savage Seymour spoke but was boring. He didn't have
anything much to say. He left after he spoke, which
I thought was rude. Tim Costley, the MP for aw Tucky,
seemed to know the Bulger family well and was quite emotional.
Willie Jackson spoke kindly with his usual good humor. I

(39:52):
think it was Tiano. Tiano from the Green Party who
spoke to the family was the only one to use
every one of Jim Bolger's nine children's names, which was
very thoughtful. Barbara Krueger spoke who family and Jim's were
connected somehow they represented the same area. Put Tucker went
on and on, it was boring. Jerry had the final say,
and he said kind words. He finished with perpetual light

(40:15):
shine upon you and well done, good and faithful servant.
He all was also moved, and it was brief. There
was a minute silence and they're saying, how great there art,
and they it was a fitting tribute to a hard
working politician who always had his feet on the ground.
There we go nicely composed email your nine children nine children, Wow.

(40:44):
And from Taranaki then to the king Country. I think
was his movements, But we are talking about grab one
as well tonight. That's what we're on about tonight. So
get in touch here til twelve. So great emails. Thank
you for those eight hundred and eighty. Yeah, what was
your grab one deal? People seem to really enjoy it,

(41:05):
but a lot of things were quite scared, which it
was a bit like mystery envelopes um Marcus. With summer
fast approaching and growing online posts of dead native species
along remote coastally outlines, should a band be placed on
domestic animal's eyes, dog, horses, cattle, and all vehicles unless

(41:26):
towing a trailer or a boat from coastal beaches known
to inhabit native wildlife. Marcus, I only think of three
electric prime ministers, Clark, Key and R.

Speaker 18 (41:36):
Durn.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
All the others were by default. So we've got Palma,
we've got English, we've got Hipkins, and we've got who's
the other one? Shipley Shippers. The Big Ship sounds like
they should have been drug tested regally. What's that referring to,
Marcus was Jones Jet and the Black Arts. I use
grab one for a number of things, Padico hotpools with

(41:59):
the kids and awesome tour through Vietnam and Cambodia. Sunday
Brunches dinners. I found them great to deal with. Marcus,
my wife booked three nights accommodation for Sean Wellington. The
video has notified us they will not be honoring the voucher.
We are pictures. Wow, Bob, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 18 (42:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (42:18):
On mister Bulger, I went to his one of his
first allected meetings he had, and I asked a simple question,
how much tax?

Speaker 23 (42:28):
Did know?

Speaker 19 (42:28):
What job was his main job? Minister of Parliament or
his farm? Because people are forgetting Mister Bulger poured in
the extra tax that we had to pound our overtime.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Is it called secondary text?

Speaker 19 (42:41):
Yes, he bought that in. And when I asked him
which one was his main job, he got me escorted out.

Speaker 18 (42:47):
Of the hall.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Brilliant, Bob. Where we talking?

Speaker 19 (42:53):
The meeting was in Wellington?

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Wow?

Speaker 6 (42:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (42:57):
And it was before he got elected. It was when
he was getting elected. And who told me out of
the meeting?

Speaker 15 (43:05):
We didn't get an answer.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Who escorted you a security?

Speaker 19 (43:10):
So I said, oh, you haven't answered my question at
mister Boulder, and he started blaming about something else. So
he just still have an answer my question. I said,
it's dear, with what we're talking about here, and then
we'll get on to what you want to talk about.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
What I like about this Bob as you've held on
to that, Yeah.

Speaker 19 (43:24):
Because I thought Blower everyone's going on about and he
might have been a master's going a good emp. I
don't know. I wouldn't want to reserve comment on that,
but people forget about these other little things that they do.
And because I was doing a lot over time at
the time, and it was trusting me money to do
the overtime.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, what were you doing? We didn't fire wood on
the side or something.

Speaker 19 (43:44):
No, No, I was, Oh god, what was I doing?

Speaker 12 (43:46):
Then?

Speaker 9 (43:47):
I think I was working in the fishery is unloading
qushion votes actually one of my many many jobs I've had.
But all I know is I went there.

Speaker 19 (43:57):
He was trying to get elected at the time, because
although he's although he's ninety, I mean, you know, he
was thirty year to hit it where I was, and
he's still has an answer my question.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
No, it's a very good point. And I don't know
where we are with six I mean me with a
part time broadcast. I don't know where we are with
secondary jobs these days?

Speaker 19 (44:16):
Are we your secondary? Like if I got a job
out on top of my pension, I have to wait
till the end of the year to clean back the
tax that they take it when you're earning it, which
sounds ridiculously stupid, and then they pay back to you
at the end of April. What don't they just not
take it off you we're in the first place.

Speaker 9 (44:34):
Yeah, but I know that he bought that in because
I was peeved off about it and I still didn't
get an answer.

Speaker 19 (44:41):
Yeah, so you had me escorted out of the hall
and not with the end of that.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Are we talking about nineteen eighty two or something?

Speaker 19 (44:51):
Yes, we would have been, because I had my labor
High business in Wellington in eighty seven when the Shmacker crashed,
So I would have been would have been early eighties.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Could you run labor High? Were you taking all those
sort of strong that don't ask question types out to
work sites?

Speaker 19 (45:07):
Exactly exactly? But we had quite a good business. And
when I had a black pair and among them I
working for me, and they work at night kettling the
build and getting it ready to repast her. And I
said to my brother, who looked after, because you've got
to pertificate to run a swinging stage. And I said
to my and they start at four, I said, I'd
drive past you at five and then knock it off.
He said, they all got to report at the police
station of five.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
There had plenty of mates that did that label. You'd
have to stand on a certain corner at a certain time.
They'd come and pick you up and take you in
and do something for me.

Speaker 19 (45:34):
I was, I was the one picking them up? Was good?
What's run for?

Speaker 2 (45:40):
What's happened to that? As an industry? Did that get?
Did that get?

Speaker 19 (45:43):
When there was a lot of In the days that
I was running, it was thirty two tark rings in Wellington.
Now there's probably only five. So they just fire their
own laborers.

Speaker 9 (45:53):
Hm hmm.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
That's a good looking what's a swinging stage?

Speaker 9 (45:58):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (45:58):
You know the one that outside like, wouldn't wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Just like.

Speaker 19 (46:04):
I'll tell you what it was this week because I
had they didn't. They were very polite to my wife,
They were good to me. They turned up, they did
their job and they went home. What they did in
their own time not my problem.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
I feel there's a book there somewhere Bob, You're not
the first one that said, well, they're good stories. You've
been a school down of a meeting, You've got the
mongram of on the swinging stage, you got you're unloading
fore nights at night.

Speaker 22 (46:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (46:33):
When they came to Dobson to tell us that they
were consultation about all the schools they were closing on
the coast, I wouldn't go on TV and I challenged
the Minister of Education at the time.

Speaker 19 (46:44):
Five hundred dollars and I've got a loot of schools.
I said, you haven't come to consultate, you come to
close the school's men, be honest. And I was on
TV and it says minister wouldn't take local panderon.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
Was it? Was it Triva Mallard when he was closing
the school?

Speaker 19 (46:59):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, he came with a black eye,
and I said he needs to be very careful that
the other one didn't get black.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
And yeah, I'll tell you something about closing schools. They
come and closed a lot of in them and in
the cargo.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
Right.

Speaker 19 (47:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
But it's a funny thing because it does things to people,
because people say what school did you go to? Because
people liked to talk about schools and things. They say,
oh it's no longer there. It kind of it kind
of disestablishes your whole childhood when your school is no
longer there.

Speaker 19 (47:27):
Because all right, my quick, just quickly. My main grudge
about that is is dead's got family's got one card.
Dad takes the car off to work. The local schools
just down the road. Mom can walk down, pick the
cat up, go to the sports stage and all the sudding.
I wouldn't have one school which is study five forty
k down the road.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Crazy, you have a problem, Yeah.

Speaker 19 (47:47):
Okay, I won't won't keep you any longer.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Though I don't know where to go. You might need
to go back to the coast.

Speaker 19 (47:54):
I probably wild one day.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
Eh.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
I feel it's calling me. It must be calling you.

Speaker 19 (48:03):
I've got a few good mates over there.

Speaker 2 (48:05):

we're going to do it, so everyone at home can
do it, but do it honestly, because did we do
it last yearly thing? But this is going to be
more than that, So I don't know how we'll do it.
We might need to get it. Have we got an
it department? How could we do a quiz that people

at Cali Road because I'm from Opeki.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Also, oh yeah, and he married his next door neighbor.

Speaker 17 (52:05):
He married his next one. Her name was Joan Riddell.
That was waving back in the sixties. Those years we
used to have Country Girls Club and the Young Farmer's
Club in the Rahudah hard way back in the early sixties.
And he was always god speaker of the Young Famous Club,

(52:25):
brilliant speaker. But he married next door has I say,

really really moving and you have to laugh at this.
Brownie was the last one to speak, and he stood
up and he went on bed Jim and he said
he went to a meeting and his mother was Brownie's
mother was there. He said, My mam is only she's

(52:45):
five foot three, a little pattleet little lady. And he
introduced her to Jim Bolger and these are the words
he said. It was on the parliament. Jim Bolder said,
goodness me, how did you produce a big brute like him?
In the Northern parliamentary guys. They laughed and laughed and laughed.
It was a moving, moving afternoon of the parliam Entry

(53:06):
was speaking about him because I know him well. I
knew his brother better because he married my girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
What do you reckon?

Speaker 18 (53:13):
But you reckon?

Speaker 2 (53:13):
It's a do you reckon? It's a lack of imagination
or a fairy tale marrying an next door neighbor.

Speaker 17 (53:20):
Was so she is just sort of everybody married the
next door township.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Bet the school.

Openeki and ray who's he there? Sort a new one

To fact you in case you libeled me. But yes,
it sees here on the website. The son of National
MP barbaquir Kruger admitted ill treating dozens of cows.

Speaker 17 (54:28):
So you we're right, that's right, that's right. Yeah, the
husband in his son. But nothing was said about it.
I mean, surely the Prime minist Rutson would have found
out nothing about.

Speaker 21 (54:40):
It or anything.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
I mean different family members. Were you from a were
you from a dairy farm yourself? Or is it cheap
and be no?

Speaker 17 (54:47):

Old songs? This last song that he sang prior to
his dying, who was evidently in the parliament, doesn't say
you sing Danny boy Irish Irish because he's an Irish Well.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
I'm always particularly he didn't take the knighthood, which shows
more spark and spunk than most of them.

Speaker 17 (55:47):
But he never got a school seat or you eat
got his brain from. I don't know where we got
his brain from, but he I knew him personally. That's
why I sort of it was a bit touched this
afternoon listened to Bannerman, and of course you.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Got like about it was ninety.

Speaker 17 (56:06):
Hey, maybe maybe three miles out.

Don't you drive school buses and stuff?

Speaker 21 (56:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (56:16):
For social needs, just look how special needs. Yeah, you've
got a good memory. I think I must have told
you before. But I'm around the coast, as you know,
the coast, around the coast, you know OBENEGGI ly well,
they had a fan. The Bulgers and the Riddell's had
a farm next door to one another. And Joan was

timeless lock.

Speaker 17 (56:41):
Didn't she m having nine kids before Bugger though, But
she's never changed creticularly here in the beat room glasses.
She's never changed from school days.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
That's always looked the same. I always looked the same.

Speaker 17 (56:54):
But as a new said at the church, they had
their own seats at the church that they used to church.
You've suddenly been good Catholics? Was that the reason I
nine kids?

Speaker 2 (57:03):
Was there a big Catholic community there? Or would there
not be many of them there?

Speaker 13 (57:07):
Not?

Speaker 17 (57:07):
Many know that, but they have to open Oh.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yeah, would they want how would they get there? Would
they have like a mini? What would you have in
those days? How would you get people in the car?

Speaker 7 (57:19):

Speaker 17 (57:19):
No, no, was before they were were not caught him
before they were well married, before the kids are.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
But when you had, when you had to living nine kids,
how would you get to church on a Sunday?

Speaker 17 (57:28):
But he wouldn't have had all those kids?

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 17 (57:34):
It's sort of them. But he had a farmer tiquity.
I had so many arguments. So he lived in born

but they had a farm antiquity.

Wow, is it still there?

Speaker 17 (57:56):

Speaker 2 (57:58):
It was crazy race around in your plymouth and put
them in there and take them out the same day
and cheap as creepers.

Speaker 17 (58:07):
But him and who are beautiful couple. So when before
I left there, innick you, they were just bofri and
a girlfriend, I mean really married Dean, But I went
to his brother's wedding, Danny. Danny married my girlfriend, Anna Kuruger.
That's how the kug is part of the cours from.
It's a related sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Sure, well, a great little bit of insight, that is faith.
Thank you so much for that. There we go. That's
a bit of a bit about extra free experts. We're
about Jim Bolger and politics and marrying an next door neighbor.
Some of you will have done it. It could be
a very very beautiful thing, or it could be I
don't know what you want to say about that. I'm

(58:46):
just interested because some of you will have done that,
and that's I mean, that's as good a topic as any.
That's right, Marcus, I married an next door neighbor. You
could start the call with, even if you just make
it up, it'd be fun to hear. Brilliant what else
you got? People hered twelve and grab one. People loved it.

(59:07):
I remember just the other night there was the one
rang up. She's at a rest home or a retirement
fvillas always get them confused. And she'd be up to
Hanner for the week, and I said, how'd you go?
We shall grab one. They're all there in the rest
home on grab one getting the little deals up. They
went brilliant, but not anymore because I guess it's a
great way. If you've got spear inventory, you just pop
it on the grab one and you can sell them out.

(59:29):
I don't know what. I don't know why the business
model collapsed. I don't know why someone else is not
taking it on. Something must have, something's changed in the neighborhood. Hey,
twenty eight from ten, if there's something different you've got,
I'm enjoying the sort of a bit of a I'm
enjoying sort of bulge and nostalgia. Actually, yep, do get

(59:53):
in touch if you want to be a part of
the show tonight. Diane Keaton's cause of death revealed to
be pneumonia. Just story that's come out. But do get
in touch on Talk on air tonight. I mean why
I say, get in touch and give me a call.
And if there's anything else you want to mention tonight
would love to hear from you. Twenty seven away from ten.

(01:00:16):
Come on, let's be hearing from your grab one also
as the big topic for tonight, major topic and if
there's other stuff that you want to mention. Good I
didn't see seven sharp. I saw there was a seal
got a tech by a dog. Kind of sketchy, isn't
it terrible? Seal attacks to tech a seal craftic because

(01:00:40):
they're so terrified who allowed their dog to I already
followed this story. We just saw it on a thing
and yeah, come on if you want to be a
part of it the show tonight. And as I say,
there's something different you want to mention. You might have

(01:01:01):
suggestions on how the quiz is going to work at Christmas.
I haven't quite got worked that out yet, but ye
do come through here til twelve. It's twenty six to ten.
Email here through. Mister Bolger. May be one of the
few or the only one one National MP to vote
against the nineteenty one Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand.

(01:01:22):
Took courage to do that under Muldoon Prime Minister, stuck
by his principles and what was wrong against the whole
race of people. I had no recollection of that, so
thank you for that. Appreciate that, Sonel, thanks for that
coming through. And if you have anything else you want
to say about this or grab one or anything else tonight,
that would be good to hear from you. It is

(01:01:42):
Allergy Awareness Day. If you've got no unusual if you're
allergic to something weird, that would be interesting to me.
It would. I'll be into that to come through if
you got to talk about that. God knows what's going
on with Glory Vale. Why don't they just close that
down with that school? Goodness me? Can I say that cheap?

(01:02:03):
Is a more discussion on when is the right time
to put up your Christmas decorations. It's ten weeks to Christmas.
But yes, I think the rule of thumb is if
it's spring, it's probably a bit early. If it's October, no,

(01:02:26):
If it's November one to fifteen, if you must, but
no one needs to know about it. Fifteen to thirtieth five,
there is a risk of peaking too soon. But at
the Pine Needles four where they made December one to
twenty three, yes, December twenty six to thirty one undecided,
but need your calls for the second part of the

(01:02:47):
second hour. People here till twelve if you want to
be a part of it. There's something different? Grab one?
What are the good things you got on grab one?
Or anything else you want to talk about? Twenty two
away from ten Marcus till midnight? What have you got?
Let's be hearing from you anyone doing anything interesting tonight?
Ten weeks till Christmas? What else? But grab one and
Jim Bulge the two major topics started well that let's

(01:03:09):
keep going seven now seven ex prime ministers are still
alive in New Zealand. Two women, three women, four men?
Got that one sorted out? And will you go and
see Joan Jet do you reckon? That's something worth going to.

(01:03:30):
You might want to talk about that. And Iggy Pop,
who's seventy eight? Now the discussion is there's something different
you want to talk Oh, by the way too, if
you any as anyone a home professional baker. Professional bakers
are bakers that cook at home, and now you can
do it legally. They've taken away some of the restrictions. Yeah,

(01:03:52):
loosening the rules for home baked cake makers. I don't
know if that's a big thing or not. You're sort
of a free training program, but you have slightly sort
of smaller kitchen that's happened. So I don't know if
there's many people making time. I guess it's a side
hustle for a while. They remember when side hustles were big.
Twenty one to ten, nineteen to ten. Good evening, people, Welcome.

(01:04:15):
My name is Marcushettel. Twelve o'clock tonight. I hope you're well.
Hope the night finds you well. I'll be huntil midnight.
Romance from midnight. That's a situation there by the way too,
as far as the one day International match goes right,
New Zealands to play Pakistan Saturday night ten thirty. Also

(01:04:39):
to talk about ultra running. Sam Harvey joined seventy four
other runners in Big Batyards Ultra and Tennessee starting Sunday
after New Zealand time. This is the one where runners
to a six point seven k loop every hour until
they can't. Sam is number two in the world. The
Aussie guy's number one. It's the big thing that I
could do one, I could do two six point seven.

(01:05:04):
I could do two. I don't think I could do
the third, mind you with practice, you never know. He
ran for days though, so yeah, that's of interest. Hey,
seventeen to ten. They need your calls tonight that there's
something else. I don't know what you want to get
going on. I'm freaking talk about GRAB one. I just
don't want to tell what your experiences with that was.
I don't know what happened with it, white bungled. It

(01:05:27):
seemed to be something that was going to be around forever.
Maybe it's been there for twenty years. I don't know
how long it was around for some of them will know.
Also talking about Jim Bulger and politics and prime ministers
that are still alive, there's seven of them, three women,
four men, Shipley, Clark, Adern, Hipkins, Palma, English and Key.

(01:05:47):
That's the lie of the land so far. But do
get in touch with this. I think I just want
to talk about tonight. By the way, too, I see
that the last of the election results are finally coming through.
Very slow counting of the special vaults, boats, boiler counts
through a lot of them. So if you've been waiting
for results, they are coming out the same afternoon and such.

(01:06:07):
That's happening. And that's about all I've got. People six
away from ten, sorry, sixteen away from ten. If you
want to be a part of it. Be nice to
hear from you eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nineteen nine two to text if you want to be
a part of it. Oh, allergies, I've got some great

(01:06:30):
texts by the time you have Dan Dan's Quiz night.
Bear in mind, three g phones will be opposite by Christmas,
so there be four kinds of talk back lists as
the callers of the text, as the emailers and those
that are off the grid unless they upgrade. Wasn't grab
one previously owned by ends in Me? Yes, it was
sold by US several years ago for sixteen million. I

(01:06:53):
think it was pretty good Friends in Me because I
could advertise that if there was any spare radio schedule. Do
you think someone posed as grab it website and stole
coupon money? Easy to do, Marcus, Nostalgia is the best drug.
Long time lists have been here a whole week now.
Marcus lived in Tequity between seventy and seventy two and

(01:07:14):
both the bold you foundly with about six kids at
that stage in Vernon, Colin Meats and their children all
met up on Sundays at the tiny Catholic church. What
a lovely, friendly community we had there, Marcus, my two
day old baby while he sleeps on me listening to
your show. Chier, are holding my two day old baby
while he sleeps on me listening to your show? Cheers back.
I'd love to be looking at a two day old baby.

(01:07:38):
What a gift? When is a good time to bake
Christmas mince pies? Do they even go off? Chris? I
imagine they would go off? Could someone tells me about
Christmas mint spies? Brought a grab one for two nights
at the Grand Chancellor Hotel in Auckland, paid three sixty

(01:07:58):
dollars lost now and need to pay another three sixty
dollars and they write and see Didland were Friday to
informula and fortunately able to honor bookings or vouchers purchased
through grab one. As you may be aware, the operative
grab one has pasted into the liquidation since cease trading.
The appointed liquidator's caliber partners have confirmed that all future

(01:08:19):
trading redemption of vouchers have been suspended in the companies
and able to issue refunds. If you have an unredeemed vouch,
you recommend contact with the grab one liquidator directly for
further guideance to understand the situation is disappointing. It and
not of your making. Unfortunately, the funds from vouch your
sales not received by our hotel. We're able to redeem
or refund these bookings. We appreciate your understanding and sincerely

(01:08:40):
apologize for the inconvenience caused. So from the earlier caller,
what you do is, if you've paid for it on
a credit card or through your bank, they might honor that,
so it's worth going to your bank. I think there
was one hundred and twenty days that they might be
able to honor it, so that's something. So yeah, it
might be worth contacting your bank for that one Marcus.

(01:09:01):
One thing many of us are allergic to, including myself,
are electric scooters. Adding them seems to be the only solution.
They're not worth a dedicated lane. Every time they pass by,
it feels like a near miss. Now we don't have
the scooters down in Bluff or in Vicago. That might change.
I would have them a problem being here, but yeah,
watch the space. It's flat enough for them. But I'm

(01:09:24):
sure they'll awe it up in the o Tapuni Creek,
there'd be my prediction. They're twelve away from ten o'clock
Hittel midnight tonight. My name is Marcus. Welcome, anything goes,
allergies and grab one and voucher's redeeming them or other stuff.

(01:09:45):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go ten
to ten to ten Hittel twelve Romance at midnight. And
as I say, all the options due to talk are
available and free. Would love to hear from you. They
might be something different you want to mention, chuck it
in the next to night. I don't fully know what
it is tonight. I don't know what's the topic. What's
the magic topic's going to get you going? I tried
grab one and that's good. Keep it going with that

(01:10:06):
or jimbolgia or ex u did and Prome minises how
many are alive? I think we've sold that one. If
you want to talk about those or any other things,
that's the whole plan tonight. I'll give you news from
around the world when then happens. Otherwise, do get in touch.
There might be something enttally different or random you want
to mention or talk about. That's good, so you get

(01:10:27):
in touch. If you've got anything to say about any
of these things. I might even checked roads since I've
got a bit of spare time to see how the
roads and the NECKI are going. If you've got any
weather reports or train reports or traffic reports, not train reports,
but traffic reports, that would be good. All those roads
closed on the west of the North Island, I'm just
going to check on those briefly as I wait your calls.

(01:10:48):
Ye Bia, oh yes they still are. Taranaki is still
already blocked off. The three major roads are still closed.
State Highway three between Molco and Piopio is now closed,
as is State Highway for eight mile junction to tomlin

(01:11:09):
Annui that has closed, as is the Phonomometer Road from
tomar Anui to Phonamomeina, otherwise known as the what it
no one is in railway terms s l A can't
remember escape me that one Stratford Okakuras cry what it
was called? Hey, keep your calls coming through if you

(01:11:32):
do want to talk. This is o kay, it's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:11:36):
Oh hello, Marcus. I was bringing you about Christmas Min's pies.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (01:11:44):
The thing was Christmas Min's pies. Is you make up
the mints? You know the fruit in that A few
weeks beforehand and you keep it in the fridge in
a sealed container, and you keep stirring it every now
and then, and I think you so long since I've

(01:12:05):
done it, and you I think you add a little
bit more brandy or whatever it is you're putting in.
And it's not until Christmas when you want to actually,
you know it comes time to eat them, but you
make them then, and then you can just scoop some
out of the container and put it on the pastry,

(01:12:28):
and you can make as many mince pies for as
long as you've got mince.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
So what's the process? Is that kind of fermenting or
the alcohol seeping into the fruit? Is that what's happening?

Speaker 7 (01:12:40):
Yes, Yes, the same as like the brandy goes onto
your Christmas cake, and you keep doing that from the
time you've made your cake, and you wrap it all up,
and then you unwrap it and you put some more
brandy on it and wrap it all up, and you
keep doing that until Christmas time when you catch a
Christmas cake and it just sort of all the flavor

(01:13:05):
of the brandy, et cetera, all sort of bends in
and becomes all rather nice.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
What's the what's the fruit I've never made it. What's
the fruit?

Speaker 7 (01:13:18):
It's ages years since I've made them. It's just I
think it's Sultana's and I know you put grated apple
in it, but I think it's perhaps Sultana's and currants
and and that sort of thing, and you can. I

(01:13:39):
should have looked it up in my recipe.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
Book someone else. I don't particularly love the flavor of them.
I don't know. I mean, they're okay, but I don't
particularly Yeah, I don't know what it is about them.
I think sometimes I bought ones to put them off
here because it tastes a bit sort of tastes not
quite as nice. They're not quite as special.

Speaker 7 (01:13:58):
Well, the recipe I used to use to make them.
I think I got off one of the women's programs
on TV right years ago, when a lady and her
husband used to do it. Can't remember their names, and
it's really beautiful and it's sort of like a short pastry.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Like what was a lady in her husband doing the show.

Speaker 7 (01:14:25):
That they took a program on TV? Well, it was
only TV then and it was on they were a
married couple, and I coun't somehow I kept thinking her
name is Shona, but it was back in the days
of black and white TV.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Okay, n't think what it was.

Speaker 7 (01:14:46):
Yeah, I don't use the flaky pastry. This is a
real nice soft pastry and you put sugar in that
on top and it's really really nice.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Appreciate you coming through, k Thank you. I've got a
kid that has taken a neck to baking, so I
might get him to do that. That will be good.
By the way, strong winds coming from the South Island.
This has been through just through severe wet weather with
GalF of swinds forecast reach up to one hundred k's.
Rapid deterioration the weather will be caused by a new
frontal system arriving tomorrow evening for those in the South,

(01:15:20):
full blown wet and windy weather. Full blown wet and
windy weather are set to wreck havoc on the South Island.
Strong wind watchers, it's not good. So yes, the wit
continues Marcus and enjoying your show as we drive back
from Auckland Airport to Cambridge. Just want to add grab

(01:15:42):
one started twenty ten. I think they started offering cheap
flies and activities. It was that different from the same
day of Dale there was the same day Deal website.
Did that become grab one? So if I said the
married couple was Hudson Halls, it probably I was thinking
he's shown. I was thinking trying to think she was

(01:16:02):
talking about beauty and the beast was shown a McFarlane,
but she wasn't married to. But it's a Stratford the
Kahokuda line, of course. So o well, Marcus. As a
young twenty seven year old in news in and Captain,
I operated the ver last f twenty seven fock of
Friendship service at a Hamilton to Winnington with Jim Bulger

(01:16:23):
and his wife on board at the Prime Minister's request,
with an orbit over the city with a low pass
down Hamilton to Main Street to celebrate the final flight
of the friend He loved it, the passengers loved it,
and the crew loved it. Telly Ho Dave, here's a
good question, Marcus, any ideas how to encourage an old

(01:16:45):
dog up a ramp into the car she now struggles
to jump in but loves going. Can you please say
hello to my daughter, doctor Rachel, who listens to you
in Syria. Cheers NICKI, Hi, doctor Rachel. Gosh, what an
exotic place that is wow. Marcus grabb One purchased voucher
online via website at nine to eighteen today printed voucher.

(01:17:06):
Then ten oh seven I received the email to say
the company was liquidated. Why the hell was the website
still live When you're in the situation, I'm pissed off.
Contacted bank and requested they stopped. My planet was still
showing his penny but advice they could not needed to
acclaim once payments all through bloody crazy. That's shocking. I'm
there for that outrage. Wow, we are talking about grab

(01:17:29):
one and about prime ministers. I presume there were grabbed
one type things all around the world. They are all
their age, like fifteen twenty years ago, but now they're
not so much the thing. But I don't know what
to replace them. So you want to talk about grab
one or Jim Bolger. That's what we're on about tonight.
Jim Bolger was famous too for going overseas, and his
little quirk was if he has been interviewed or in
a conversation with someone from a different country, he would

(01:17:51):
adopt their accent, which was always quite fun, which is
something he did not good nor bad, but unshakable. That
was his kind of stick, subconsciously adopting the accent of
the It's probably quite a common thing that's of interest.
Twenty one Someone thinks the couple that might have done
the recipe might have been Lez and Sonya Andrews. I

(01:18:14):
think Jim Sutton was always going on about them in
their rest home concerts, whatever they were. But Bulger Tonight
Edmund's tarts and grab one or graboni as we call it,
eight past ten. I think the married couple your text
was referring to was Lez and Sonya. Oh, by the way,
are we freaked out about what are they getting rid of?

Speaker 21 (01:18:35):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Is it one? G? Two G? Three G? Are we
freaked out about them getting rid of? Three? G? Let
me know about that? What's your new phone plan, Laurie?

Speaker 21 (01:18:46):
You know, I'm think I'm on four G. Marcus, Well,
you're coming through that and clear it's not wishing to
be pedantic. When your news reader Nina mentioning in the
crime scene that PI tour being west of Palmerston North,
it's not just her fault because I think they've been
saying on the half hour all day that prior tour

(01:19:08):
was west of pamus And North. Yeah, and of course
it's due east.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
Is that right?

Speaker 21 (01:19:15):
Yes? Pretty much? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
Now I'll tell you something and I'll defend need to
the edge of the earth, but I'm with you on that.
It is west, it is east. The other thing that
I've noticed in print journalism, Laurie, there's a generation of
people that now think South Island and Southland are the

(01:19:38):
same thing.

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
Yeah, so I'll talk about flooding in Southland near Hoker
Ticka and things like that. So it's just I think
the people look like, hang on, they Southland, south On,
they must be the same thing. Let's make it. This
isn't it terrible?

Speaker 21 (01:19:54):
Terrible?

Speaker 10 (01:19:55):
Terrible?

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
Yeah, hey, listen to the lady listened to us like
the old men on the Muppets.

Speaker 21 (01:20:02):
The lady that was talking before knowing Jim Bolgia and
what it What a great scenery was I just I
recalled there was a pretty dramatic shot on TV one
of the election in the eighties.

Speaker 6 (01:20:18):
I think it was.

Speaker 21 (01:20:19):
It must have been about the start of the election
campaign and Jim had gone to I think there was
gone to a school assembly at Tika Whitty and they
had the choir assembled there. This is on that was
being filmed filmed on for the seven o'clock news and
six o'clock news, and they're all really uh, the teacher

(01:20:43):
sort of wavedews arm and they broke out into nowhere.

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
That's right, that's free famous and I think that's I
think that's the teacher's been unionized and labor supporters. I
think I think it's always the teachers always stitching up
when it comes to a Tory member of Parliament, trying
to get them going, because they've been some. There've been some,
and it defines it defines the campaign, doesn't it.

Speaker 21 (01:21:06):
H Yeah, No, it was brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:21:09):
You remember Don Bresh when they had him walking the
plank for some photo and then getting into that bridget
car destroyed his campaign just about well.

Speaker 21 (01:21:18):
There was one of was it long? He one time
was trying to clamp stuff himself and because he didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:24):
Long, he did long he did race cars, I think.
But yeah, with with I think with old Brash, it
was just some said this is a good idea to
walk that plank into a boat, and of course you
know it became it became the punt and they always went.

Speaker 21 (01:21:36):
To But you mentioned before you think that was the
final result in for Westland where the the incumbent has that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
Yes, I haven't quite I haven't quite followed that, but
because otherwise did they pull that up? Okay, I'll pull
up the western rear I pulled that up. Yeah, I
wasn't following that.

Speaker 21 (01:21:59):
So because it was going to be quite famous, there
was going to be the next transvestite.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
I don't think we call them transvestites.

Speaker 21 (01:22:06):
Tray tray, you know, she was going to be a
twenty granny's right.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Well maybe she that's called herself that.
I don't know what that is, but yeah, And and
look I was reading about her and she was She's
been pretty famous for a number of reasons, like starting
a club in Auckland. I was reading about that in
the sixties. And then wasn't she involved with the zoo
and the sock factory?

Speaker 21 (01:22:28):
Oh no, I didn't know. I hadn't gone onto that background.

Speaker 2 (01:22:31):
Quite an established career. Yeah, she had done a lot
of different things.

Speaker 21 (01:22:35):
Truly colorful characters that end up down there.

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
Yes, So Western Mayor Helen lash has been re elected
by a margin of eight votes.

Speaker 18 (01:22:44):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:22:46):
And then there's another instance there where they didn't go
with the flow because flow In was missed out on
getting elected in the Hokertek Award.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Who wasn't flowing In?

Speaker 21 (01:23:00):
Yeah, wow, she was standing. She got three sixty one votes,
but she must say there was Yeah, there was three
vacancies for taken Wardens. Yeah, but it's anyway. The other
I think you nes item the other night, just going

(01:23:22):
going out on a limb. I think you mentioned nothing
seemed to have any missing boy in Australia, Gus.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
I can't work that out. The first thing I thought
was dingoes and then I can't work it out.

Speaker 21 (01:23:33):
Well, there's been no mention of the D word at
all in the yeah, which is.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
Well it was. I mean it's bigger than aaria and
they met Najack and it was like a three year old,
wasn't hear toddler?

trek around.

Speaker 6 (01:23:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
I did find that story, but grims we didn't like
to talk into it too long there, Lorri. But yeah,
I'll research that for it. I'm going to go a bit.
Nice to talk to you, Laurie. Thank you, bev. Good evening.
It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (01:24:05):
Yeah, hi Mark, I just thoughted quickly tell you about
my trip today from New Plymouth to Auckland.

Speaker 10 (01:24:14):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:24:14):
Let me bring up the map because that won't be straightforward.
It was it urgent.

Speaker 12 (01:24:21):
No, No, I was just coming home from a little holiday.

Speaker 6 (01:24:25):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
Had you put it off for two days?

Speaker 12 (01:24:31):
Excuse me? I actually went from Wanga Nui to New
Plymouth on Monday.

Speaker 19 (01:24:36):
Sorry.

Speaker 12 (01:24:37):
On Tuesday I stayed too. I was going to stay
one night, and New Plymouth and where I stayed was
so cool, I decided to stay another night. And by
then I knew that the roads were closed, and so
I left this morning and it took me Oh no,
now I'm home now.

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
But it took me eleven and.

Speaker 25 (01:24:58):
A half hours.

Speaker 10 (01:25:08):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (01:25:10):
And I couldn't leave it another day because I've got
something to do tomorrows. So I had to get home.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
So you came down to Fogginui Is that right?

Speaker 13 (01:25:22):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
And then.

Speaker 12 (01:25:27):
No, then it took me straight up the middle.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Okay, with to write to he?

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Then up to.

Speaker 18 (01:25:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
I can't work out which way you would Did you
go through topul up that way?

Speaker 7 (01:25:39):
No?

Speaker 12 (01:25:40):
No, I went the left hand side.

Speaker 14 (01:25:42):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:25:42):
I got cheapest creepers, Yes, tatehoe A forty seven okay,
and then back on back onto the main area at
Hamilton right then.

Speaker 12 (01:25:51):
Up, Yeah, I did. But unfortunately, my because my phone
was you know, I had Google Maps going all the time,
so my battery went flat and my charger and my
phone hasn't been working. So I saw a sign saying

(01:26:12):
tr moo too, so I'll go there. And there were
lots of roadworks on the way, and I saw a
few slips and things, and there was a lot of
It was really pretty driving, you know, like it was
a great day. But I was thinking, you know, I
might just take it easy and do it at eight.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
It's a long days driving, isn't it.

Speaker 12 (01:26:36):
I got to the bomb Bays dead and I bought
a new charger, and then of course I was running
out of petrol as well.

Speaker 2 (01:26:47):
Had done all that way on one tank.

Speaker 13 (01:26:50):
Oh no, I know.

Speaker 12 (01:26:53):
I sort of did sill ups or top ups a
couple of times, and I did have lunch in Wang Nui,
but the rest of the time I was just stopping
for a drink or you know, things like that. But
I've had a fabulous day, but I didn't think it
was going to take eleven and a half hour.

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
Well you should have said guess how long it would
have taken to show me the root, because I would
have said eight.

Speaker 21 (01:27:15):
Ye.

Speaker 12 (01:27:16):
Well I've been looking at it for two days and
it was six at first, but then once the roads closed,
that went to eight because I had to go back
to wang Nui.

Speaker 13 (01:27:24):
So yeah, that was my day.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
I like a lot.

Speaker 9 (01:27:30):
Beev.

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
That's a good story. Thank you for that. Appreciate that.
I purchased two headboards from grab one on Tuesday. You
can't tell me they didn't know they were going into
a severship. Then that is so wrong. It's so wrong.
It's so wrong. I'm furious for you. Would you buy
a headboard though? That doesn't seem like a daily deal.

(01:27:52):
It was a joke when I first saw that, Savan.
It's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:27:58):
Thank you, Hey Marcus. I met Jim Jimboja at mid
nineties when I first came to New Zealand.

Speaker 25 (01:28:04):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (01:28:05):
I met him in Hamilton. Yeah yeah, yeah, a swimming
and I think you, I think you might have been
a campaigner. Anyways, I approached him and I can I
can English paper and was my fish?

Speaker 6 (01:28:17):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Anyways, I said, because.

Speaker 15 (01:28:20):
Where you're from.

Speaker 3 (01:28:21):
And I tell them where I was from, and he
goes to me, you're a long way from home.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
Well, and he's probably too, wasn't he.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
Yeah, yeah, I quite like to me, maybe because I'm
a Catholic too, But I had a good feeling about him,
like you're genuine feeling.

Speaker 6 (01:28:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Well it's a pretty it's a pretty nice start to
a conversation. Oh, you're a long way from home. That's
pretty standard, and that's pretty good. Ye're a long way
from home. You're nice to talk to. Thank you for that.
There we go, Marcus. My My mama trained baking so
to make delicious Christmas months pies. Used to buy the

(01:28:58):
pre made fruit mixture for the soup market. They used
to sell it in bottles. It was mixed fruit, I
sultana currants. Mum used to add sliced apple to about
the mixture.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
Go for ether.

Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
She made them with a biscuit mixture made with eggs, butter, sugar,
up pastry. She used to make them every Christmas and
give me a dozen, also a dozen for my son
and daughter one year. They were so lovely. I ate
mine and then ate two for my daughter and son's gifts.
When they asked me why there were only ten stad
of twelve, I said it was because it was a
metric dozen. Our one day website might still be on.

(01:29:30):
There's a one day one I think sometimes in France
with the Christmas meat pies, they actually have meat in
them as well. We discussed that one year one year
hurdle twelve join the fray. Oh wait, you know the
rest ten twenty two Roman from twelve. That's what I

(01:29:55):
need to tell you. It's the voice break Linnet's Marcus.

Speaker 12 (01:29:57):
Good evening, Good evening.

Speaker 26 (01:30:01):
I'm just ringing up about putting the dog in a
remp into the car.

Speaker 2 (01:30:06):
I'm so pleased you've rang about that because I meant
to repeat that and I completely forgot about that. That's important,
thank you.

Speaker 26 (01:30:12):
Well, when my old dog got too old, I used
to pull the car right up against the guffer and
put the ramps so it was dead straight. So let's
sit on the floor, you know, so that she didn't
actually go up. It was level with the fraw and
my friend, her dog wouldn't go and at all, so

(01:30:34):
she would have had carpet made to split nicely because
they didn't like walking on the plastic of the ramp,
but her dog was good. It went right up into
the back seat, not until she got the carpet.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
And though, so is this a common thing for dog
owners to try and get dogs into cars using ramps?

Speaker 6 (01:30:58):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (01:30:59):
Yes, couldn't they get old? They like to go with you,
but they can't manage like that when we gets old.
You getting the legs into the car.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
So you get quite a wide ramp and your carpet.
It is it your suggestion?

Speaker 26 (01:31:15):
Will you get the dog went from any pitch shop?

Speaker 2 (01:31:18):
Oh, they're a thing. They seldom didn't know that. I
look them up now.

Speaker 7 (01:31:21):
Ok.

Speaker 26 (01:31:22):
Yes, it's plastic, but the dogs don't like walking on
the plastic. That's why my friend had the carpet made
to roll that over.

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
It makes makes perfect sense.

Speaker 21 (01:31:32):
I think it might be the claw.

Speaker 26 (01:31:35):
I don't like walking on the plastic. My old dog
used it for over a year.

Speaker 27 (01:31:42):
Wonderful.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
And I'm seeing some years ago, straight into the boot
of the car and you went to the front seat,
did it?

Speaker 18 (01:31:49):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
And just so I can imagine the dimensions. What sized
dog did you have, Lynn?

Speaker 1 (01:31:54):
Or have you got?

Speaker 21 (01:31:55):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (01:31:55):
I had a corky.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
You would have to pull up to the gutter for
that okay, wow, yes, and did you do that for
a couple of yous? Did you do it for a
couple of years, a.

Speaker 26 (01:32:07):
Couple of years, years until she's well, until she died.
It was wonderful because they loved going out.

Speaker 2 (01:32:13):
Every day and she couldn't She was in the seat
so she couldn't see from the car. She was down
on the.

Speaker 21 (01:32:19):
Where you put your feet was she yeers years?

Speaker 2 (01:32:24):
No excuse me?

Speaker 21 (01:32:26):
What a great to the year.

Speaker 26 (01:32:29):
Go to the park and park up harding it's the
gutter so that she'd just said, you step onto the
MP and straight out, so it was wasn't any climbing.

Speaker 2 (01:32:40):
It's a nice story, then, thank you. That's so about
a hiccup to I feel terrible about that. I don't
know I've suddenly got the haocups. I always says you
get old, you don't get the haircups as much. Thanks
very much, Lyn. Keep your calls coming through dogs and ramps.
Never heard. That's something I've never talked around the radio before,
was remps and dogs. You never know what's going to happen,
do you? And talk back? Also doing about grab one.

(01:33:00):
People furious with the vouchers they've brought even today, someone
said there was a fifteen hundred twenty nine dollars cruise
on Grab one yesterday. The woman who traveled eleven hours
home how much would that have cost her in petrol
plus food? And also about Grab one, didn't they go

(01:33:22):
for a cruise? And dogs and ramps? Marcus, any ideas
on how to encourage an old dog up a ramp
into a car. She draggles to jump, but loves going,
So it's how do you encourage it? Would there be
a snack or something in the car. I'm not a

(01:33:44):
dog person, so someone canna help me with this as
would be good. Or put carpet on the ramp. That's good. Also,
that's good. I wouldn't have thought of that, would have
thought their freet were feet were freaking out? Since what's
happened though? And Grab one, they're the topics for tonight, Calvin,
this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 23 (01:34:05):
Oh that's how you could thanks killing Hey, buddy, Yeah no,
I just had a bit of a story to tell.
I was quite intrigued when I was hearing a story
about the ramps going into the cars for the old doggos.
I remember think I had about this a while ago. Well,
like a tweter. I'm not too sure, but you know,
so I had a really old labordoodle. He was about

(01:34:29):
fifteen years old, and I used to drive a i'll
still do nineteen ninety six smart for Twitter Super And
you know what I did, I actually removed the front seat,
you know, and I just would help him climb, you know,
into the passenger you know, into the front passenger seat,
and then he'd have the whole space cleared for him

(01:34:51):
to sit down. And you know, I'll tell you what,
it makes him feel so much more comfortable, you know,
And if there's an option for people that you know,
at that time, I was single, so you know, I
wasn't carrying anyone else. But yeah, it's such a good
option if you can just remove your front passenger seat
and then your dogg can have you can use the
backseat and you can use the front seat area.

Speaker 20 (01:35:12):
And it just feels so much more comfortable that I noticed,
you know, especially when it's not aging.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
So you didn't use a ramp, no, no, no, So
what I did.

Speaker 20 (01:35:22):
I just assisted him getting in, you know, I liked
you Yeah, yeah, like, you know, help him and still
feel like you know, he had it and a supe
of thing, you know, and I found what the ramp was.
You know, he had to still make an effort to
try to walk up, you know, and I found it
was just a little bit easier because he still had
the mobility even though it wasn't as much, but just

(01:35:43):
to you know, have the little hop over super thing,
you know, and just get in it. But instead that
height of the seat was removed, which I felt aided
you know a lot too. Yeah, just easier for them.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Good advice, Calvin, Thank you. Someone says this, I don't
real understand this. Hello, ramp technician here for an old dog.
They need to see it being used and possibly get
used to another scenario like steps before getting into a car.
Ah Way says, you've got steps in your house. You
put the ramp on. Okay, so you like that's the
gateway you use ramp stuff before the car. I'm hearing you. Marcus.

(01:36:18):
The motorcycle ramp from Nunti of ten is half the
price and tries his studios of plastic pitchop ramps covering
Carpetent's perfect my old thirty kilo round. Mestiff loves his rent.
When he got too old to climb in the car
and the person that wanted to know how long at
toc know how much it costs. For the woman that
drove from New Plymouth to Wuckland via Martin or Martin

(01:36:41):
as I call it, bev again trip to Auckland from
New Plymouth, I used one hundred and ten dollars petrel
using you go and shear tag zed Petrel, thirty dollars
for lunch and a fra Pei coffee from Z had
my own water. I think we had the FRA paidar
the end after eleven hours give a perp for the

(01:37:01):
final motorway streets. That's my pick. The FRA pay was
a bombay might be wrong, even.

Speaker 15 (01:37:08):
I was just wondering how much the new charger was
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
Oh good point. Yeah, Well, why she waited so long
for the charger too, I thought they were she bought.
I would have brought the charger before the f pay.

Speaker 6 (01:37:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:37:23):
I've been going to.

Speaker 15 (01:37:25):
Even if you had no, I'm not even sure what
you're talking about. Must be must be out of my
price range.

Speaker 2 (01:37:34):
Yeah, anyway, you go.

Speaker 15 (01:37:37):
I've been going to a couple of beaches around here,
and some of the ladies around here walking dogs like
up to fifteen dogs not a lead in sight. Oh,
it's a good sight to see.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
Oh you into that free walking, pa, you into that
free walking?

Speaker 21 (01:37:53):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 15 (01:37:54):
The ladies around here walking up to fifteen dogs at
a time.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
Wow, really that many.

Speaker 15 (01:37:59):
Not a leading site. They must be looking after them
for the day or something, you know, doing me how
would they manage dead? Honestly, they had them. Every one
of them was under control.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
Yeah, it's pretty that's pretty remarkaless it.

Speaker 15 (01:38:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, really really good sight to see. Anyway,
that was all I had to say.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
I think they're going to limit the number of dogs
you could because their dog walkers, aren't they. That's a
kind of a recent thing, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:38:26):
I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 2 (01:38:27):
Really it's a good thing. I don't know about that.
They look like that.

Speaker 15 (01:38:30):
They look like they're doing look pretty happy, got tall fats,
gim me, they're all pretty happy.

Speaker 2 (01:38:38):
You wonder where they get them all from? They get
dropped off, they go in and pick them up.

Speaker 7 (01:38:41):
Or what.

Speaker 15 (01:38:43):
I'd say. They must must be dropped off before work.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
He might be right there. I never thought much about
the logistics of it. Okay, I appreciate that even thank you.
Remps and Dogs twenty four to eleven oh eight, one
hundred and eighty ten eighty and grab one getting on
a bit of a roll now in the far pay
and the charger. Nothing worse than a car without a

(01:39:13):
charger for a long trip, that's my opinion. Twenty four
to eleven dog walkers A dog walkers, What do you
want to say about that? Get in touch Marcus till
twelve oh eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty anything else
you want to talk about tonight? That's the plan and

(01:39:34):
grab one? What how terrible they just allowed it. I
mean they must have had several days knowledge they're going
to go under. But to take people's money, Marcus, do
you let your kids go trick or treating on a Halloween?
Do you say to them it's okay to get lollies
from strangers? Well, that's a strange, unloaded question. I would

(01:39:56):
have them no problem. I would have no problem with
them going door knocking they don't want to. I kind
of think Halloween has done its dash. That's my personal opinion.
I think what happens in our community is that there
are it's for kids, it's for like babies, I think
four year olds, and there are some houses that have it.

(01:40:18):
But yeah, I think it's been an uncomfortable I think
I just think he's able to struggle with it. We're
not kind of generous enough of a spread. Everyone's a
bit freaked out by it, including the talkback world. But yeah,
no problems at all. It's not the stranger with the
lollige you want to be freaked out by, but you

(01:40:40):
don't have a problem with that. Marcus listened to the
start of song Too by Blue and my mate used
to just think they're saying, got my head shaved by
Jim Bulger always sounded like that, I know what you're saying,
as actually was saying got my head checked by a
jumbo jet always sounded like Jim Bulga. There's a growing

(01:41:01):
industry of dog motels been set up around the outskirts
of walk around the suburbs. I'm not sure about by laws,
about regulations, but pooch palaces are popping up all over.
Are they for you? What are they about? What's that about?
I don't understand is that for people to stay with
dogs or for people to send their dogs when they're
on hot when they're at work. It's probably the latter.
Some more information about that lines free people, welcome, Heredle twelve.

(01:41:24):
What have you got? Dog? Ramps? And there's a situation
too where that dog that mauld a seal for the
story there he kind of let the dogs continued to
the attack because he thought that would be a nicer
way to do it. Pretty grim story that one. The

(01:41:45):
tack lasted thirty minutes, but dogs need ramps, Dogs and ramps. Hello,
Janet's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:41:52):
Welcome, interesting conversations and it's nice to hear all that
laught us.

Speaker 12 (01:41:59):
I love.

Speaker 5 (01:42:01):
You.

Speaker 2 (01:42:01):
Gotta love the laughter a jan Yeah, you can't beat it.
Good laugh today.

Speaker 13 (01:42:11):
Today or yes, I'm blurring between the two sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:42:16):
Have you slept?

Speaker 13 (01:42:18):
Ye woke up thought it was the middle of the night,
and I thought that then says nine something Pim. I thought, oh,
I'm all disillusioned. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I was so
tired of being out gardening, and I just went to

(01:42:41):
bed and thought, oh, well, I have a little half
our nap. And I woke up at nine thirty or
something tonight. Good good, having a good sleep.

Speaker 2 (01:42:55):
How the toenails all good?

Speaker 13 (01:43:00):
I was going to say, it wasn't those little clippers
that I was using. It was the hedge clippers very
sharp one a the hdge clippers. Oh you know, you
can't reach so in trying to get my legs up
around neck so I can clip seasy. With the hitge clippers,

(01:43:22):
you don't have to reach for it, just leaned down
and long.

Speaker 3 (01:43:27):
You see.

Speaker 13 (01:43:28):
Wow, great tip.

Speaker 6 (01:43:33):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
The hitche clippers, Yeah, I thought they wouldn't. I thought
the blades wouldn't be tight enough coming together for toenails.

Speaker 9 (01:43:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, the huge clippers get very thick.

Speaker 13 (01:43:52):
You know, when you get older, the nail gets very thick. Anyway,
I wanted to tell you about elderly dogs, and there
were the bones and get stiff and so on. They
get our writers And if you put some apple side
of vinegar in their drinking water, it helps to break

(01:44:16):
down all the calcifications and the joints. Probably good for
adults human.

Speaker 2 (01:44:24):
Yeah, that was always a great thing in the diapple
side of I think it was a fixer for everything,
wasn't it.

Speaker 13 (01:44:30):
Yeah, Yeah, so put some any dog would probably benefit
from that.

Speaker 6 (01:44:35):
All cats.

Speaker 13 (01:44:36):
Cats get sort of stiff when they get older too.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
I'm sort of trying to get myself back together after
that comment about the old with the cutting of toenails
with the hedge clippers.

Speaker 13 (01:44:49):
I just let you carry on thinking it was a
little one.

Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
Yeah I did. I did. I mean that was enough
of myself that you ring talkback cutting and nails. But
if we'd known that was with the heat. I'm still
getting texts about that. We know that was the hedge clippers.

Speaker 13 (01:45:02):
Cheapers haad holding on to this.

Speaker 2 (01:45:08):
How could how could you make a phone for where
was your phone?

Speaker 13 (01:45:12):
Well that's why I had to put the clippers down.
You want me to make it clippings down and I said, no,
put them down there.

Speaker 2 (01:45:21):
Why would you do your clippers? What would you clip
your nails? As you're on hold for talk back? I
kind of work out what goes to someone, and I'm
gonna go to ring Marcus, But actually before that, I'll
just see if I start cutting with toenails with the
hitge clippers.

Speaker 13 (01:45:36):
Oh, I was going to tell you that joke.

Speaker 2 (01:45:39):
Please don't know that you rake the fourth wall chair.
We're just like you where you are with your hedge
clippers flip.

Speaker 22 (01:45:50):
Jen.

Speaker 2 (01:45:52):
Yes, aren't you blind?

Speaker 28 (01:45:54):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:45:55):
Okay partially, but you can.

Speaker 2 (01:45:59):
See you know where your nails are?

Speaker 13 (01:46:01):
Well, I nearly took the top off one of my toes. Well, yeah,
they won't let me give them to the podiatrists and
have them done by them. Why they've shut the door
on me?

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
Who'd been someone from a podiatress that anyone could see
that that you're right?

Speaker 13 (01:46:23):
Yeah, anyway, life's sad.

Speaker 2 (01:46:27):
Is this something you're not telling us?

Speaker 13 (01:46:31):
Probably?

Speaker 2 (01:46:32):
Okay? Even't raged at the psychiatrist that they're not the
psychiatrist at the.

Speaker 25 (01:46:38):
Oh no, they're.

Speaker 13 (01:46:39):
Always very well behaved men. That Okay, I don't know
why they've shut me out, but that's just one of
those things. People are street, don't they.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
They are Jane that they are, thank you. Fourteen to eleven.
You are talking allergies, have fisk and not exactly allergy,
but some bit of these. You might talk skin cancer
one evening prevention. That's a good point. O. Poppy is
sixteen and a half. She is a ramp to get
on our bed, very sport, little toy poodle. Marcus. I'm

(01:47:16):
a teen in Hawk's Bay and there's a high school
party I've been invited to Halloween, when I'm probably not
going to go because there's like seventy people going and
there's going to be drinking beer and vaping thing and
they're cool and they're all fourteen or fifteen. I'm fourteen
and it's going to trick or trinking with a few mates.

Speaker 9 (01:47:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:34):
Wow, I'd like to see how big the hedge clippers are.
Thirteen to eleven. Gee, there's a lot on the enterinet.
I'm just watching Teddy Swims and the Wiggles to all
the world's colliding. These people have enjoyed Jen Jen Jen
ten away from eleven. Good evening, Dave, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 29 (01:47:57):
Yeah, I'm I say that. I'm that's going to be
the court of the century. I'll pride myself on thinking
I'm pretty hardy. I think because I occasionally cut my
toenails with my sidecutters at work. I'm an altrition, and
in fact they're a bit long. I get the sidecatters
out and my mate, my work mates are looking at
her and they're like, whoa, that woman just shamed me.

Speaker 2 (01:48:17):
That's just next level the cool of the century.

Speaker 29 (01:48:21):
It's cool and just I'm driving along right now and
I'm shaking my head thinking what the heck. And when
you think you can't get any bety, you find out
that she's partially blind.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Yeah, and she must need two hands to do it
because it's and people say it's sicker to, but it's
not cicat to. She can't bend, so she needs the
long handled ones.

Speaker 29 (01:48:44):
Oh, I pay money to see that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:46):
That's that?

Speaker 2 (01:48:47):
Really, I don't want to money. I don't want to
right there if I want to see that, and Julia
drive to hear from your Yeah, wow, goodness for me?
The last time have we got that call?

Speaker 21 (01:49:04):
Down?

Speaker 2 (01:49:06):
The last time we called it was because it was
about a couple months ago, but she was calling and
she and I just thought, I just thought it was
just and proper to be cutting your nails while you're
on the phone. I thought that was really. Have we
got that call? Really? When was it? How long ago?

Speaker 5 (01:49:23):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:49:24):
September twenty third? To listen, you're still with us? Jenney
got on the other side.

Speaker 6 (01:49:31):
Was that.

Speaker 9 (01:49:32):
If you want.

Speaker 13 (01:49:36):
Did that man say he was from tens Yes?

Speaker 21 (01:49:41):
Ah.

Speaker 13 (01:49:41):
I think a lot of people in that and interior
are short. And I wondered why, and I think it's
because the sun doesn't get there until the afternoon on
that side of that mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:49:56):
Range, beyond the easter sunrise, beyond the west of Sea.
You're probably right there. Yeah, k people there. I don't
think they've been there all in life. I think they've
moved there, which would which would really mean that short
people are moving there because they like the shade. Really,
I don't know. I mean, I'm just going along with
where you're at, because it sounds like you've forgotten what
you rang up about.

Speaker 13 (01:50:18):
I'm getting the side track trying to trim my toe nails?

Speaker 2 (01:50:22):
What don't trim your toenails when you're talking to me?
Is that what you're doing?

Speaker 13 (01:50:26):
Yeah, glove, what with Well, it's hard to hold onto
the phona.

Speaker 2 (01:50:33):
I think you're doing extremely well. What are you cutting
them with.

Speaker 13 (01:50:37):
The clippers? It's hard when you can't see what you're doing.
That's all both feel anyway. Now I wish I.

Speaker 2 (01:50:50):
Wish to hear can you put the funk? Can we
hear one of your clicks? But can we hear one
of the clicks? Is one of the nails goes?

Speaker 6 (01:50:57):
No?

Speaker 13 (01:50:58):
Put them down?

Speaker 7 (01:50:59):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:50:59):
Okay, I think that's for the best.

Speaker 13 (01:51:02):
It's the changerous from the dirt anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:51:06):
Yeah, I think it's a daylight thing. I think that's
gonna be a lot of a lot of teams. People
be hoping you cut one of your toes off.

Speaker 13 (01:51:12):
Yeah, well I cut the top off one of them
once and thought her petty go to the potectress. But
they won't accept me. Don't ask me why.

Speaker 2 (01:51:22):
I can ask you why.

Speaker 13 (01:51:25):
Anyway. And that one's going to ask about the soul
penel who's buying all that?

Speaker 2 (01:51:31):
People? People? By the power? Jen back to you now
is twenty three to nine. I'm six ft seven? Who's
six foot seven? That's quite a good call, wasn't it?
The callback about the Thames? People happy with that? But
she's she's she's consistently on song about that. She's been

(01:51:52):
denied p dietetric service, hasn't she It's not good. But
she did say the clippers, the hedge clippers did very
well to find that. In a hurry, Dan, you got
will filed? What y oh did you after she spoke

(01:52:16):
about the Wow, we're laughing. Oh that's the answer. Do
you do nails? I don't know why your nails to
get thicker as you get older? Remember that whole night
on the hitting your thumb with a hammer. It's only

(01:52:37):
just the black mark on my nail has only just
now left the moon, it's only talk about another three
months to go. Gosh, it's slow, isn't it? In the card?
Or I quite enjoy having it, but boy, it's slow
as it moves its way across the across the circuit.
Good evening, Jenny, this is Marcus.

Speaker 25 (01:52:57):
Welcome, Good evening.

Speaker 30 (01:52:59):
What a what a what a little jehanism having your
tone with the hedge. I've got a bit of a
problem with my tournols too, and I I went to
Now I'm going to say something here, you'll probably lost
and you'll twick. I got up pure a long handled
nail clippers from Tim and they are excellent. And they're

(01:53:22):
like you're screwed them together and they're like a pump
action and they are excellent.

Speaker 2 (01:53:30):
Now is it because I don't fully understand Jen's mobility issues?
But is it because you can't reach your toes at
a suit?

Speaker 30 (01:53:37):
I can't read my tone. I've had knees and hip replaces,
and I can't lend over to cut my toenails. And
I've even helped other people can't cut theirs either.

Speaker 2 (01:53:49):
In the new metic.

Speaker 30 (01:53:51):
The and they're like they're like they're you've got like
a sort of pump maction where it draws them together
and it closes a clipper, so it's three. It's really
really good. It turned around. That's got my nail ordinary
nail clippers. If she had a period distant ordered peer

(01:54:12):
that you cut your fingernails net with and they're on
the end of us, they're screwed on.

Speaker 7 (01:54:16):
The end of the.

Speaker 30 (01:54:19):
It's too long but the pipe and they've got to
must have a spring inside them, so it closes it
so you can sit in a normal chair and just
cut your tone off like that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:30):
I can't quite fucking find longhand ones on Timmy, but
I think the ones that you're talking about. But yeah,
I'm going to look more about that I've had.

Speaker 30 (01:54:37):
I've had them for quite a week while now. I
think Jo needs to tell her doctor that she actually
uses head cutters to cut the tons. I think she'll
get into beddels pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
Quickly if she says what she's doing.

Speaker 30 (01:54:49):
With If she tells her doctor that she's been using
the hedge cippers to hope so dist that is ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:55:00):
Well then and Brown needs to be on this because
that's crazy. You're going to a medical system that Jen
can't get to and she's cutting her She's blind as
she's cutting her toenails with hedge clippers. That's outrageous cool.

Speaker 30 (01:55:13):
I wouldn't like to cut my tone off with my
hedge clippers. I can tell you that here and now.

Speaker 2 (01:55:19):
I'd like to talk Jenny. Thank you, hen til twelve.
We are talking about nails, Chris. It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (01:55:27):
Oh good evening.

Speaker 31 (01:55:27):
Marcus giggling into the limit hot news. Jen was priceless.
Reminded me of the scene from Father Ted episode with
Father Jack having his toenails clipped. Missus Doyle had to

(01:55:49):
wear a welding mask. They were puffing into the furniture.
I'll never forget that scene from Father Ted. But yeah,
my mother had really hard toenails. They were almost calcified,
and I would take her to the po diet and
that used to remind me of that scene when I

(01:56:09):
took my mother. But Jan tonight, I think even what
else got me going tonight was the gentleman that rang
afterwards that said it was like a scene from Monty Pipe.
But yeah, I reckon this would be a perfect opportunity
for where whatever town Jan loves them, for some podiatrists

(01:56:36):
to take this up. And yeah, what an opportunity for
a podiatrist out there. If anyone was listening for Jeanne,
it's the podiatrist. Yeah, take a challenge of Janna.

Speaker 2 (01:56:49):
Well, we don't really know what's gone on with the
podiatress is often more than something, because I don't think
we'datrist to go to turn people away. But anyway, we
shall find out. Chris. So, we mightn't find out, but
we shall think about it.

Speaker 31 (01:57:00):
Yeah, I hope she gets some help with them.

Speaker 2 (01:57:03):
Nice to talk to you, Chris, Thank you and thanks
hanging over the news. If you want to talk about
nails and difficult nails, that'll seem to be the theme tonight,
that de facto theme. Get in touch, you've got tricky nails,
thick nails. Also talk about grab One and Jim Bulger,

(01:57:29):
who I knew of twin brothers who never wore footwear.
All in bare feet. They dug holes, mode lawns, concrete driveways,
and drove tractors. Both of their feet were so hard
they had to cut their toenails with wire cutters. Those

(01:57:50):
of us who were unfortunate to witness it found it
fringe worthy. Marcus, so much love to gen dangerous of
the dark. The whole activity is dangerous.

Speaker 21 (01:58:08):
Where her?

Speaker 2 (01:58:09):
Where's her advocacy? But daughters should be visiting her. She
could get up with Gangren or the like. At what
age do you start getting overlooked or considered a winder
bug of the system. They're not working for us. Cheersy Vaughn, Kathy,
This is Marcus.

Speaker 32 (01:58:24):
Welcome, Hi Kathy, Hello, No, just a moment to put
my radio off.

Speaker 28 (01:58:39):
Is this Marcus?

Speaker 3 (01:58:40):
Yes, Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:58:43):
I was traveling in the bullet train in Japan, and
I was in first class, and a death of little
Japanese men came with the briefcase and sat in the carriage,
and in two or three others at the next stop

(01:59:04):
got into and the first one then whipped off his
shoes and socks and started cutting his tone house, and
the others all who seemed to think that's a good idea,
and they all cut their tops, took off their shoes
and socks, and there were tonehouse flying all over the carriage.

(01:59:26):
And then they put their shoes and socks on and
picked up their the briefcases and marched out as though
they were very very fine gentlemen. But it was very
amusing at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:59:47):
Great story, Katy, thank you for that, Scott. Good evening.
I guess good Scott, thank you good.

Speaker 10 (02:02:18):
Magus.

Speaker 4 (02:02:19):
About six years ago, my brother went and had a
sauna and he used a chat and the water is
running from one shower to another, and he picked up
a fungal nil in friction. Yes, So he went to
his doctor and the doctor put him on a pill
and said that that'll clear it up. But there was
six years ago, and I've bought him everything you can
buy from a pharmacy, every medicine you can buy. He's

(02:02:40):
tried everything. He's gone to six different doctors, three of
them woman doctors, and the wall got fungal nil infictions
on their nails, on the toes and they can't get
rid of it. They said, they can't get rid of it.
So I mean, how do you get rid of it?

Speaker 2 (02:02:57):
I don't know the answer to that. I thought there
were is he kept getting reinfected or something.

Speaker 4 (02:03:02):
No, no, it just never never went away. The first doctor, yeah, uh,
you know, gave him the ural thing, the poll to
take for a couple of years. So he took that,
and he also used the medicine from all these different pharmacies,
all the cheap ones, and I bought them all the
expensive ones you can buy. But nothing's worked. And he's

(02:03:25):
gone to six different doctors over these years, and three
of them the lady doctors, they all had the same thing.
They said they had it on all their toes and
they can't get rid of it. So they said it's
any cosmetic. They said, we'd just live with it, but
he wants to get rid of it.

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
Why did you mention that they were female doctors.

Speaker 4 (02:03:47):
Well, he told me that he went to three female
doctors and they all had The men doctors, they didn't
have it on theirs.

Speaker 2 (02:03:55):
Ah, the women doctors. The women doctors actually have it.

Speaker 4 (02:03:59):
Yeah, they've got it on all their toes.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
Okay, so.

Speaker 6 (02:04:08):
Don't get it.

Speaker 2 (02:04:09):
I get it either. We'll see if anyone else does. Wayne.
Thank you, I'm whare I asked getting touch Marcus till
twelve three to three, Part eleven, the bit the end.
It's about nails tonight. Not for the faint hearted. Do
come through DCT. Good evening, Lynn, This is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (02:04:30):
Hello Marcus. After Darienne was talking about her experiences trying
to cut her nails, you actually had a listener a
couple of calls after commenting about being extremely careful in
case of gangorine and stuff. Well, I'm sorry to say
that I can relate their experience and perfectly because my

(02:04:53):
own dear grandfather, my maternal one month one, he was
doing the same thing, doing his own thing, cutting his nails.
The inevitable thing happened, the nail, the surfer flip piercing
the skin, then the mail. The skin didn't heal before
very long infected before you know that gangerine. So the

(02:05:18):
next thing is hot in the hospital love and he's
getting his ankle chopped off, and they did the best
that they could, that that wasn't enough, and then before
long it spreads up and the next thing you know
is between the ankle and the need they had to
do another go.

Speaker 25 (02:05:37):
So then he's got but half half.

Speaker 17 (02:05:41):
Lears.

Speaker 16 (02:05:41):
Well, it was great because he's survided that operation, but
of course at that point then there was no way
he was going home to be able to walk and
live alife. So sadly he ended up and the rest
homes get him the best of care, but he only
lived a very short time after that. So you do

(02:06:02):
need to be extremely careful. And for the sake of
a visit, a few dollars of going to the the
dietiss certainly some people can't afford to, but I certainly
would be fined in the dollars somehow that I didn't
have to do it, and anyway thinkful I wanted.

Speaker 19 (02:06:22):
To share it, how old, how old.

Speaker 22 (02:06:24):
Was your your grandfather my grandfather, Well I was quite young,
so he what would have been staying is I would
say about a mid seventeen yeah, yeah, yeah, But anyway,
that's just what happened.

Speaker 16 (02:06:37):
It's just life. You know, we've walked at our stories
and experiences and things we can relate to. But as
I said, and it's already been steered. You know, you've
just got to be extremely careful in second years yourself
about everything that you're going to do or attempt to do,
because everything can just change in an instance.

Speaker 2 (02:06:58):
The nice thoughts, thank you, Hello, Mikayla, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 25 (02:07:02):
How are you tonight?

Speaker 2 (02:07:03):
Good? Thank you?

Speaker 25 (02:07:04):
Oh it's good. Yes, I'm just talking about nails because
I have mine trimmed frequently and my eyebrows because they're
both made of the same material.

Speaker 2 (02:07:18):
Here, yes, yes, yes, And you can get very.

Speaker 25 (02:07:22):
Menichy if you don't have your eyebrows done professionally or
do it all yourself, which I can do both.

Speaker 2 (02:07:31):
You can get with your eyebrows very what you you know.

Speaker 25 (02:07:37):
Pluck or wax them yep, and it helps you stop
you getting meniche.

Speaker 2 (02:07:44):
Now what's that word meniche?

Speaker 25 (02:07:45):
They call it manik depressive oh, and you can buy
these fantastic wands and unikin Pharmacy and east Gate and
you can cloud your mind. It's got a gray one
there so you can think again. And it's got purple

(02:08:08):
to go deeper into your life. Sure, And on one
side it's got the arithmetic gray so you can work
things out and you do it and then you leave
it for six weeks. Otherwise you'd overdo it, you know,
I can imagine. But it's fantastic what they've got for

(02:08:29):
us nowadays.

Speaker 2 (02:08:31):
Yep, I'm hearing you, ok, Mkayla, nice to talk to you.
Twenty seven past eleven here till twelve, and I'm looking
forward to what you've got to say in the final
half hour. It's been a night for me. I've enjoyed it.
It's been a long night. Why has it been long?
I don't know the answer to that, because a lot's happened,
not much internationally. But if you're going to rock things,

(02:08:51):
round things out tonight with your calls. Yeah, put vix
on a toenails at night, wear cotton socks on top
to bed, regard, repeat every night as long as need.
It really clears the fungus. Robbie another text, Marcus, if
you had any one suggest vixed vake rub for fungal
nail collection, it can infecture. That work for me and
my friends. Apply with a cotton bud daily for the

(02:09:15):
first week, with every three days for six weeks and
after that kiddiyama. There is a service for cutting toenails.
Ask your local medical center. Thull of information about this. Marcus,
tell that go with fungus toenails to paint them with
copper sul fight or in other words, bluestone. Marcus t
tree oil, cres fungal nails. It's from Phil. I don't

(02:09:39):
know what if you've got If you've got trouble, don't
don't use the radio advice. It would be my advice.
But here till twelve if you want to talk more, oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine nine to
text is about nails and grab one or griboni as
we call it. And Jimbulga that person's right about that

(02:10:02):
song that blur song, yes, which does sound as I
mentioned jim Bolgie. Of course it doesn't, but you can't
only hear it.

Speaker 10 (02:10:14):
There.

Speaker 2 (02:10:14):
We are here til twelve o'clock. If you want to
talk on the air tonight. Oh eight eighty, Judy, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 12 (02:10:27):
Oh good, good evening.

Speaker 11 (02:10:28):
It's nice to talk to you, Marcus. I've just tuned in,
but I was wanting to talk to you and let
people know about tendons in their hands.

Speaker 25 (02:10:44):
I'm in.

Speaker 11 (02:10:46):
An older age group, and I've got special gadget stop
and gem jars and things like that. But i had
a Baker's bottle that needed opening, and I've always opened those,
and I opened it, you know, with a little silver
top that they have on those backup bottles.

Speaker 2 (02:11:05):
Yeah, and I thought, oh.

Speaker 11 (02:11:07):
Gosh, that hurt my hand, and then I gradually lost
the use of my middle finger, my ring finger, and
my middle finger and only ended up with my thumb
and forefinger able to use. I've had them operated on

(02:11:28):
because the tendons were gone, and I only ended up
with two tendons in my hand that could be attached
to my fore fingers.

Speaker 9 (02:11:38):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (02:11:39):
But what I'm liking, what I'm really ringing for, is
to tell people to be very very careful, especially if
they're in the older age group, about opening jars.

Speaker 12 (02:11:50):
And bottles, even milk bottles.

Speaker 11 (02:11:52):
Today most of them seem to be on so tight. Yes,
and I just stay restrained and did damage to my hand.
So I'm trying to do everything left handed now, which
isn't very easy.

Speaker 2 (02:12:04):
So it was just the strain of it.

Speaker 11 (02:12:06):
He was the surgeon said, it probably was a because
I'm in the old age group and I just probably
strained it here here. And so two of my tendons
went and I only had two left here.

Speaker 19 (02:12:21):
So I just wanted people to know to be very careful,
and they can't.

Speaker 2 (02:12:26):
That's not fixable.

Speaker 8 (02:12:27):
Five.

Speaker 11 (02:12:28):
Yes, I've had an operation. Yes, he's joined up my
forefinger and my middle finger on one tendon, am a
little finger and a ring finger on another tendon. And
now I've got to use got to get used to
using my hand again.

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
Oh, good luck with that, Judy, and nice to talk to.
Thank you. Twenty six to twelve. Hannah, it's Marcus welcome. Sorry,
it's a bad push for me. Hi, Hannah, it's Marcus welcome, all.

Speaker 34 (02:12:57):
Right, can you hear me?

Speaker 2 (02:12:58):
Yes? Yes, I can now.

Speaker 25 (02:13:00):
Oh.

Speaker 34 (02:13:01):
I just wanted to talk about nails and the important
being really careful in the elderly population with cutting your
toenails like a previous cooler your hat. I work in
the healthcare sitting and have seen a feelings being chopped

(02:13:22):
off due to gangrene and often the cause of poor
nail hygiene. It's also happened to my partner's granddad. He
heads amputated and needed his as below any imputation, but
unfortunately they couldn't go ahead because he just became to

(02:13:43):
and well. Yeah, and especially in the elderly population, anyone
with diabetes as well, because the blood circulation to your
lower limbs is really poor, so any in fiction you
get in your feet has been quite badly.

Speaker 2 (02:14:05):
Would it be would it be common for podiatrists to
refuse to see customers? Was that because I suppose the
condition of their feet?

Speaker 16 (02:14:13):
Is that right?

Speaker 34 (02:14:16):
No, I'm unfortunately in the hospital setting we don't get
there are not many p dietrists available. It's more in
the community setting, and I haven't heard of any pediatrists
refusing to take anyone because of the state of their feet.

(02:14:37):
They might refer them to a surgeon if it gets that.
But I think the issue is people not seeing someone
early on that primary sort of intervention of getting someone
else to manage their feet. Really, I guess as people

(02:15:00):
get older might be a bit shaky and the structure
of the nail can change to sell you. They can
get quite hard.

Speaker 2 (02:15:10):
Yes, yeah, okay, now that's kind words, and thank you.
I appreciate you coming through that. That's good information. Twenty
three to twelve, Marcus, I've got foot fungus on my
toes on the right foot, and testimony treatments. But the
one that seems to be doing the trick and halfway
heeled as a pen called excited fungal nail pin at
the chemist warehouse. You have to use it constantly. You

(02:15:32):
can see the new nail grow through with no fungus,
but as soon as you stop two or three days,
you to start over again. I used to get my
toenails until I nip my toe, so I now have
to see a padets every eight to ten weeks. When
she comes to my house. It's twelve to twelve, Hello, Dave.

Speaker 9 (02:15:47):
Okay, Marcus, very very still, very still here in Christitch.

Speaker 2 (02:15:53):
I think you're gonna cop it sooner?

Speaker 10 (02:15:55):
Are you probably coming up the country?

Speaker 13 (02:15:58):
You're right?

Speaker 25 (02:15:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (02:16:00):
Is that southerly down there?

Speaker 2 (02:16:03):
I would say, yeah, just throw a wooden warning. It's
been blowing. Yeah, I think it's yeah, I think it's
got some of the component to it.

Speaker 10 (02:16:09):
Yes, it's probably coming up because it was westerly here
earlier this morning, and I figured it was going to
turn around suddenly. But I got me pegs, my stainous
clothes pegs, and I got my nylon clothes line and
the TMU mail yesterday and I've got that strung up
and I haven't got anything pegged out there just yet.

(02:16:30):
But I find the salt water because I was getting
the itchy, scratchy feet and toes and from the from
the council polls. You know, Yes, I found the salt water.
And being close to the beach now very beneficial for
that sort of thing, because I did suffer a little
bit of SELLI light I saw earlier last year or

(02:16:51):
this year last year.

Speaker 2 (02:16:53):
Yeah, you were, and you were a bit visitable that
went you.

Speaker 10 (02:16:56):
Yes, I went and I was struck down for quite
In fact, I was hospitalized for two weeks and I
was on a drip with same one you would have
sa you know with fruit clocks are some and that's
right flu clocks and they're pumping meting to me. Because
I came down and that was spreading. That's where the
nurse model was quite concerned. About so they phoned the

(02:17:19):
ambulance and sent me into hospital with it. Let's how
bad it was, Marcus.

Speaker 6 (02:17:23):
There's the back of my leg, back.

Speaker 10 (02:17:24):
Of my calf muscle here, and you're free of it now. Absolutely,
I at.

Speaker 2 (02:17:30):
Least to hear that. That makes me happy. Are you, Dave?
Are you how far from the beach? Are you like
just a kilometer or something?

Speaker 6 (02:17:36):
No?

Speaker 10 (02:17:36):
No, one hundred meters?

Speaker 2 (02:17:38):
Oh nice, that's just what a dream.

Speaker 10 (02:17:42):
And I walked via South Brighton Surf Club and I
walked can walk up the beach, up the sand dunes
and get to the hot polls? Mate, I'm two kilometers
from the hot pool.

Speaker 2 (02:17:50):
Oh you got They've got a fantastic life worked out
for yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:17:54):
Yes, yeah, I'm a very lucky man.

Speaker 2 (02:17:56):
You are thought of getting a pushbike?

Speaker 10 (02:17:59):
No, well I am, I am, I am indeed I
would like one, But then again, there's only so many
hours of the day, you know what I mean?

Speaker 15 (02:18:07):
Like I enjoy walking.

Speaker 6 (02:18:09):
I enjoy walking, I enjoy walking.

Speaker 10 (02:18:11):
Markets, and I enjoy the I you know, take the
sand June route that's up on the sand June there
is a track there, or go along the beach low tide,
or go along the Inner Track, which is a long
marine parade. So you know, as I say, there's only
so many you know, hours in the day, you know

(02:18:33):
what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, you know. I just
wondered for myself how much I would use a pushbike
because I wouldn't probably be electric. I wouldn't go electric
way what No, I would enjoy hearing some feedback on
electric pushbike because I've never used one.

Speaker 2 (02:18:53):
They always seem to instole and they don't last that long.
I don't like the technology, but yeah, market it's the
lay of them too, is it not, especially to hold
them because sometimes you've got to go somewhere, You got
to hold them up the steps because you haven't got
a lock and stuff. So I like a yeah, I
don't like a yeah. I'm with you on that one.

Speaker 13 (02:19:09):
Dave.

Speaker 3 (02:19:10):
Yeah, good evening, mate.

Speaker 2 (02:19:13):
Did you grow up in that suburb Brighton boy.

Speaker 3 (02:19:16):
Born and Bread.

Speaker 10 (02:19:17):
Yes, Surley Boys, I born Bell Beller Avenue and family
lives Escott Avenue and Marriott's Road. And yeah Brighton boy
Born and Bread.

Speaker 2 (02:19:30):
Yeah, brilliant, that's I want to hear. Thank you for that, Dave, Carrie,
Good evening, Marcus, first time calling mate. I like mckery good,
thank you all the bitter for hearing from you.

Speaker 6 (02:19:41):
Marcus.

Speaker 27 (02:19:42):
Why I rang up ward because I heard you talking
about feet and toes and stuff like that, and obviously
got a problem where twenty years ago I had surgery
and like, I'm looking at my leg now and it's
like red halfway down my shin right to my toes.
And they've done a scan and they found the surgeon's

(02:20:02):
left clips, glass stitches of my leg. I had a
bad accident twenty years ago, went through a door and
glass and it almost cut me foot off. So they've
done a good job of it.

Speaker 6 (02:20:14):
You know.

Speaker 27 (02:20:14):
I've been able to walk, but they've left stuff in
there and I've got infection a little mate, that looks awful.

Speaker 10 (02:20:20):
Man.

Speaker 27 (02:20:20):
I look, just look to my legs in it's on
the side and it's a little bit of what keeps
coming out. So I went to a surgeon and I'm
on a waiting list, mate, and I'm just sitting here
waiting and like the young fellow that was just talking
about fail your lightis, mate, that's something I don't want
to get because I've got an open wound.

Speaker 2 (02:20:39):
How long has it been you've been waiting Kirie.

Speaker 27 (02:20:42):
Oh, it must have been here two years, and I
don't know what to do, because, like you were saying,
when you get old, you get problems in your feet,
and you know, I've got a push bike. Also what
the guy was talking about. You know, I actually sold
my car and I'm on my push bike and I
assume everywhere on it maintenance. Great, they wouldn't have a

(02:21:03):
car again, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:21:05):
I followed it up. I think two year sounds a
bit long. If it's an open wound that I carry
out beyond to that, that doesn't sound good to me.
Not really here to give medical advice, but that does
sound like it's Yeah, I'll chase them up on that
one A far with you, but thank you, but nice
to hear from you. Be in touch if you want
to be on air, Marcus till twelve, anything else here

Speaker 13 (02:21:29):
Hello.

Speaker 35 (02:21:31):
I'm just ringing Marcus because I do cut toenails. But
I also want to tell people that if they have
painful or restless legs, if they soak their feet and
Epstein salts, that'll stop that at night before they go

(02:21:53):
to beers.

Speaker 2 (02:21:55):
What does it do.

Speaker 10 (02:21:57):
Well?

Speaker 35 (02:21:57):
It's magnesium and our bodies lack magnesium, so sometimes we
have restless legs or hot state. It's really soothing and
our bodies absorb a bit of it as well.

Speaker 27 (02:22:16):
Okay, so that's could I let you.

Speaker 2 (02:22:19):
Know, appreciate that. Thank you, not like yeah, thank you
