Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Cheapest creepers. Greetings and good evening people. Welcome. Just going
back into my diary to see when I walked about
topics because I'm going to talk about asparagus today. I thought, gee,
that's really because I've just had my first meal of asparagus.
But actually this time last year, well a year ago,
we spoke about it on the fifteenth of October, and
the time before that was the nineteenth of October for
twenty twenty two, So the nineteenth, the fifteenth, and the twentieth.

(00:37):
That interesting. Gosh, I don't even know what we did
on other days about sparagus. I don't even know what
we talked about. I'm certainly thinking, gee, what would have
people run up and say? Anyway, the back of the shops,
they're delicious. I like them, whether they're at a crisp
to them. Although I do like tinder sparagus. I think
when it comes to asparagus roles, the tinder ones are better.

(01:01):
They're not healthy or fresh at tasting, they just taste
more like an asparagus role should taste. So there we go.
People say if you pick a sparagus free boring job
on the back of a track to being dragged along anyway,
that's neither here nor They will keep you updated with
the cricket too. Throughout the course of the evening. England
are betting Salts on sixty one Brooks on twenty four
one hundred and sixteen four to two throughout the course

(01:22):
of the evening. I'll keep me uotato with this. It's terrible.
It's a terrible time of the year for cricket. But
it looks as I can't actually see what the weather's like.
There's no sky shots. I'm looking at the people in
the audience. The crowd are whearing. They seem to be
quite dressed up. Looks like puffer jacket weather by the
looks of things. They're not sort of on the beasy

(01:43):
lying on blankets and their bikinis or their stubby shorts,
so they're not like that. So anyway, because very strong
winds coming up the country, extremely strong ones just to
by the way, driving into work today, Yeah, sometimes when
you work and you're trying to change your time for
daylight saving. I've pushed some buttons on my car and

(02:04):
it's come up CHESSI control as a picture of a car,
and occasionally bits of it go blue. Well I can't
for the life and we think what happens for them
to go blue. I've driven around corners at speed, I've
kind of decelerated and it just comes up really randomly.
So that's got me perplexed. So what is CHESSI control.
I've got no idea. When it kicks on, I mean,

(02:25):
it must be useful, otherwise they wouldn't put in the car.
But what is chessie control. I've got no idea what
that is. Just comes on any old time. I probably
could go to the I could probably go to the glovebox,
but I've got one of those glove boxes where everything
goes in the glove box and when you open it,
it just opens with a thud of dread and everything

(02:46):
comes out like Ken's dring bottles and all sorts of stuff.
It's not a good thing the glove box. You can
get your menual, but it's under all sorts of stuff.
So I can't be bothered. If someone can explain chessie
control to me, I'd like that. I'd embrace it. I
think that'd be a good thing. I've got no idea
what it is. I've looked and looked and looked. I've
tried to try in all different ways, some of them

(03:07):
dangerous to activate. I've got no idea what it is.
Chessie control. So there we go. You probably haven't in
your car. My car is just a bog standard one.
I can't even remember what it cos either amidst abitsh
or in this and I think we've come down to
I've got no I look on the keys. Actually that
should say it can't find the keys anyway, So that's

(03:29):
a chess We are the keys. That's Chessie controling the
car has got me perplexed. The other thing I want
to talk about tonight. We've got two major topics tonight.
And I want to mention this just quickly, because I
don't know why I want to mention it, but I
just thought i'd better say it because sometimes on TALKBAT
we try and be topical. So I'm going to explain

(03:50):
what I think and then you can work out what
your reaction is. Aham Halloween and sometime soon. And here's
what I knows about how Helloween. The shops like Kmart
and the warehouse are full of the most gosh awful

(04:17):
tat you've seen in your life, stuff that is either
neither use nor ornament, the most appalling stuff. It's tomorrow's
landfill today and tomorrow's diabetes today. It's all there, all
wrapped up and won horrible without any kind of worth.

(04:37):
So yeah, so it's de everr in the shops. But
I suspect I don't know where you are with this one.
I suspect that probably over the last two decades there
have been people, mainly chained stores, that have tried to
get New Zealanders into Halloween. I reckon we haven't kind
of responded that well. I think probably if I look

(04:59):
back ten years ago doing talk back, people were quite
concerned and worried and thought it's gone to hell ofn
a handker no one talks about anymore. So I'm just
putting out there, am I right? That Halloween's done its
dash that in it as haven't really embraced it. We've
never really worked out what it's about. We've been vaguely
freaked out about it. We've thought this is not us

(05:20):
and we've given it the big pass that don't come Monday.
Would that be your inspiration? Would that be your reaction
to Halloween. That probably is a country we've passed it by,
because that's the sense I feel. I think when my
kids were young, there were sort of Facebook groups you
could go to houses it said that allowed dork and knocking,
but now there's very little. So that's my thoughts on Halloween.

(05:43):
I just be curious to and look, I'm I don't
have a vest interest in Halloween. If people want to
go knocking on doors, knock yourself out. If that's your thing,
if that's your idea of fun, go for gold. I
would not stop you from doing that. There'd be no
part of me that thought, oh you can't do that.
I think it's fun that people are out and about
their neighborhoods, But as far as something that excites or

(06:03):
interests me, it's a big negative. Just not it's just
not something I think, you know, monster costumes, that sort
of stuff. Not excited about it. So if you want
to mention that, if you think I've got the assessment right,
or you might want to challenge me on that, I'd
like to hear from you. So we've got chessis control
or chessis control, and that and asparagus that's three things

(06:26):
already fourteen past eight, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine two to text. Yeah, I don't
know how the asparagus prices are with the cost of
living in inflation that if they're more than last year,
they probably should be an index. Someone's text me it
says talk later. I think they meant to text someone else. Evening,

(06:49):
Marcus is an overcast evening in christ each are nineteen degrees.
Rain is during the wee small hours, so it should
get the full game in the Haggers at Hagley Park.
Not cold but BLUs derry. That's Pete one to eight
for two soult on sixty seven broc God looks like
there's been a work at No, it's a no ball.
I don't know what of those to see the umpire

(07:09):
with his finger up. No, it's still for two. Good
evening being this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
You get it. Marcus year. We used to do Halloween
for the kids, but it was just that he ended
up being a hole of a junk that just went
in the rubbish spin and it was just a big
waste of money. And I think the last straw for
us was we brought a big bag you all these
you know, let the kids bring their friends over in
that and half of these people the kids brought over
we didn't know. And the lawnmarer ended up going missing

(07:39):
that night. So you had the lawnmarer and the carport
and you know it was coming up through the car
port to the door, and yes, it had been sitting
in the Lawnmar'll be in the same slop for two years.
And then all of a sudden it goes, oh.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
That's a really thing to take the low because how
do you take the law These weren't people trick or treating.
These are people coming with their family.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So you know, like I think the kids,
you don't put the word out that well we've got
you know, we're doing trick or treat this year, and
there are always people turn up never met before, bringing
the you know, their adults along and yeah, and then
the law markers I seen. I was like, am I
bug at this? We're not doing this?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Wow, that's a really front on someone's soul to take
the lawn mower.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Well I could have not had anything
to do with it, but it just seemed weird that
for two years the lawn mask said on the same spot,
and then we do that and that night it goes missing.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Good cool Ben, Wow, that went took a dark turn quickly,
Tony and to Marcus good.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Evening, Oh getting Marcus, how you doing good?

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Thanks Tony.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
So, yeah, the Halloween thing. I lived in the US
for quite some time for about seventeen years, and so
it got exposed to Halloween and dressed the kids up
and took them all out and did all that stuff.
Then coming back to New Zealand a few years ago,
I was surprised we lived in New Plymouth that it
was actually a thing in our neighborhood. So yeah, we

(09:02):
would sit out on the lawn and you know, meet
all the neighborhood kids as I would go around. But
in Dunedin have not had the same level of engagement,
not all. So what we do with our kids because
they kind of grew up in the in the US.
As I just said, how about I just give you
the money that we would have spent on junk and

(09:24):
you just keep that instead, and they agreed to that.
So so I bought them out of Halloween. But been
saying that a lot of these for me A lot
of these holidays that are important into New Zealand because
we don't have the background to it, nor are they
in the right time of year. I think that's a
big thing, Like like in the spring, the weather can

(09:46):
be just awful, and it's like even in New Plymouth
we have had we had years where it was just
absolutely terrible, windy, rainy. In some years that is amazing.
But a lot of these Northern Hemisphere holidays just don't
fit into our into our our calend there in ascets.

(10:07):
So I think that's a big thing too.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Would rather be doing.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Something else, mind you, if you're trying and flip the
other way, wouldn't what's the Northern Hemisphere equivalent of November?
Would be May coming into winter, wouldn't it?

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Yeah, it's fall, but I think spring is more upset
about everything than fall as or autumn as it is
over there. So I can't remember a Hilloween over there
where we had bad weather.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
What state were you and terrified?

Speaker 6 (10:35):
California and then Colorada.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
That'll make a difference. California, Yeah, and then and and
Los Angeles.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
Yeah, l A.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
I mean it's pretty it's pretty mild that.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I'd go drink or treading in Los Angeles, I go
Calabasas or something. Are you probably allowing Calabasas are Yeah,
they've got they've got people.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
Yeah, I mean there were there were a Facebook groups
like there is here, so you can, you know, travel
into the into the neighborhood and you know there would
be teenage groups going around trying to ransack all of
the lollies and stuff. And I think that kind of
happens here a little bit too. And my cousin here
in his ella may have egged a house or two,

(11:20):
has a trick when they didn't give him a treat.

Speaker 8 (11:24):
Did he stand years ago?

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Did he come home with any lawnmowers your cousin.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
No, just a fewer eggs.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
I probably wouldn't do that anymore though, with the price
of eggs, no, all the prices.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
I was surprised. Tom wondering, curious to know who's taken
Ben's lawnmar nineteen party, Interested in this Canada Cold on Halloween?
Pickled asparagus done like pickled onions, leaves it a month
beautiful Halloween, the American abomination just a way to get
the children into them better than new mentality. Halloween is

(11:57):
just a chance to remember where the mothers to compete
with each other. Wow, Marcus is now unable to. We
have vans of people arrived mother suburbs who trickled treading,
some in costume. Were just a bunch of teenagers asking
for treats while they're driving them between suburbs. We're doing
a lot of catches missed and the short time in watching,

(12:19):
there's been too drop catches. Birdcase, the drops he were
the black caps? Did you get our risen back on
the job? Was he our catching coach that pulled us through?
Steve Rixon was out his name, but when they brought
him across and suddenly we were a catching A text
or comes through. Halloween is fun for kids. If you
don't like it, you're boring. I guess I probably might
be boring, but I think probably I am Halloween agnostic.

(12:42):
I respect people's rights to partake in it, just not
my jam. I don't like the plastic, all the endless
plastic and tat Marcus. A friend of mine in California
told me she'd risk his little birds had gotten tangled
up in Halloween costumes and a neighbor's property. Their feet
were bound together and the webs and they were hanging
upside down. Wow, so watch the fake watch the fake webbing.

(13:05):
That would be a bird trap. I can see that now.
But maybe also too that we do we're good because
I mean we're also familiar with it. With the state
of the nation and the economy. It might also be
a cost of living thing that people haven't got the
money for Halloween, might be saving for Christmas. We don't
want to spend all our money on bits and bobs
this time of the year. Might't be the right thing
to do. That's what we are talking about. And chessie

(13:25):
control adult Halloween parties if you're an adult man. That
if you are adult men that don't like slutty devil,
slutty nurses, slutty cheerleaders, stay at home and watch the cricket.
Then that guy's if we're going a fantasy world, what
do you reckon fantasy? That's my take. Oh, eight hundred

(13:47):
eighty tatty and nine two nine two detects and chessie
control and a spare a guy. I'll keep go down
with the news throughout the course of the evenings to
know if anything happens roads or anything else. And you
breaking news, Yeah, well, you know what that is? Eight
hundred eighty thirty and nine two nine to text Yep, coursh,

(14:10):
I'll tell you something. You gotta watch out for. Boy
oh boys, christ it's getting a lot of good press.
They're now calling it the capital of cool wat Shot.
Everyone says they're moving to christ Church. It'll become well,
I don't know what it will become. It'll become oversubscribed,
ederlt Hell. I've never heard about adult Halloween party anyhow,

(14:32):
as I say, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine two nine to detext If you want to partake,
looking forward to what you've got to say, anything else
you want to mention, let's be hearing from you. By
the way, too, I think that chocolate, the Whitigger's chocolate,
goes up in price today. I know ever when's obsessed
about that. But in the UK there's a lot of
chocolate bars. They can no longer call chocolate anymore, don't

(14:53):
contain enough coco. Who knew? That's the thing, that that
they're not bars, that they're penguin bars and things not.
Ones are available and you see, all the lines are
free if you want to partake. Marcus Till twelve. As
I have this other news, I'll bring that to you.
Cricket one five seven for two salt on seventy four.

(15:15):
He's hitting the ball all over the show, this guy
and Brook fifty six fourteen point one overs or fourteen
and a sixth over is the way I like to
say it. By the way, this day in history, nineteen
seventy three, Sydney Opera House opens its doors. And this
day in seventy seven, the plane carrying Lennard's skinnerd Freebird,

(15:40):
What a gorgeous song, crashed in Gilsburg, killing the singer
and guitarist, amongst others. I've read at depth about that
plane crash. It's a pretty bizarre It was a bizarre one, no,
but it's sort of a surprising one. You might want
to talk about that also, So get in touch. Freebird,

(16:00):
what a song?

Speaker 7 (16:04):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Kind of pass me by in their day, then skiddered,
But once you end up working about what they're all
about in their backstory, it's pretty good. H Steve, it's Marcus.
Good evening, evening, Marcus. What do you got to talk
about tonight?

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Steve?

Speaker 9 (16:24):
Well, I was driving just been to a meeting. I
was driving home past the supermarket. You talked about asparagus
you got, I got some four dollars for a bunch.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
How much you think that bunch would weigh?

Speaker 9 (16:38):
I'd be lucky to be for undergrounds.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Yeah, and I reckon that's about a standard price. So
I wish you'd ask me to guest, because I would have.
Do you know how much they were last year?

Speaker 10 (16:48):
No idea?

Speaker 3 (16:49):
No, okay, what what would you do with it?

Speaker 11 (16:56):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:56):
No, it's worth it? No, it's good. I mean you've
got all your What are those things that those vegetables
have on them? A special sort of things antioxidants or.

Speaker 9 (17:03):
Something, vitamins and minerals. May so it'll be they'll be
lightly steamed with a good dollars of New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
By yes, and that will happen tonight.

Speaker 9 (17:18):
Oh yeah, Well so getting home later and the grocery shopping,
dinners hopefully going to be cooked for me, and this
will be my little treat.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Brilliant. Yeah, Steve, I'm glad I could be part of that.
That's me changing lives. It's exciting for you, Steve. Enjoy
those brilliant The Kidston complained too when I fed them
to them tonight. Yeah. So Lynnard Skinner's playing it right
out of fuel and the pilots attempted an emergency landing

(17:50):
killed on impact, with Roddy Vans and Steve Gaines, along
with the backup singer Cassie gain Steve's older sister, and
several Road members suffered in serious injuries. So it's one
of those rare plane crashes that people survive. Yep accent

(18:10):
came three days after the release of the group's fifth album.
Following the crash, The Ensuring Press Street Survivors became the
band's second album platinum album, the highest position on the chart.
The original cover sleeve had a photograph of the band
amid flames with Steve Gaines that obscured by fire. Out
of respect for the deceased, MCA Records withdrew the original

(18:31):
cover replaced it with the album's back photo, a similar
image of the band against a simple backgack round. However,
the group would have restored the original image for the
thirtith anniversary deluxe edition of the album. Mark's so work.
One of those stores you mentioned the Halloween stock is awful.
I'm surprised people are buying it with the cost of living.
I hate Halloween it's just another way for retail to

(18:52):
make money. And gosh, looking at some of that stuff,
I can't imagine they come from happy factories. It just
looks like sweatshop tat Marcus rapped bacon around asparagus and
cook in an air fryar. Has that got a name?
What would that be called? I think bacon around a prune?

(19:12):
Is it devil on horseback? What do you call bacon
around in asparagus? It should have a name? What is
a devil on horseback? It's a great name for something,
isn't it. But what do we call the asparagus with
the bacon? Yes, it's dates and bacon or prunes with liquor.

(19:33):
So I don't know what the asparagus and bacon is called.
If always got the answer to that, there was chefs
be good though. I think I've had those those yackatory bars.
That's so, I think I've experienced that. Actually we've done
on the coals. No, I think it's got a special name.

(19:55):
But yes, are they the equatory bars? They have those?
They cut them in three? So we are talking Halloween
and yeah, just I always like to check it on.
How I know kind of ten years ago when I
was doing this show, people got freaked out by how
when they're not people going to be tapping on their windows.
But now I think people are kind of more realistic
about it. Not freaked out, but slightly dismissive because I

(20:15):
put myself in that category. Are one eight two for
two one eight two for two one eight two for two,
fifteen and a half overs gone, Marcus are long cues
for asparagus at the New World now start out in Hastings.
Peoplehard it on the radio. Heist at the Louver? Does

(20:35):
anyone feel sorry when a museum gets robbed? Took them
seven minutes. It's a long time to be around there
in daylight, been inside job. I think they'll find out
you can't spend seven minutes rattling around the Louver. Felt
that was kind of yeah, I'm not happy about that.
That's a long time to be robbing a place. It's

(20:58):
the Crown Jewels through with a crane and a pneumatic
drill or something. Cheapers. He'll twelve get in touch, Marcus
till midnight, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty The weather update,
wild weather across the South. I think in the cargo
the stables got blown over Escott Park a quarter of

(21:18):
a million dollars worth of damage. There are trees blown
down in Dunedin. Snows affecting the alpine passes, mainly the
Milford Road and the Crown Range, so really strong winds
coming up the country. If you've got any reports of those,
let us know what's happening. But it's going to be

(21:39):
worse weather. Arriving on Thursday and Friday doesn't rain its paws.
Marcus Wilde. We encourage kids to take lollies from strangers.
Not the best parenting in my day. I think that's
not a bad I think that aspect of it's not bad.
Actually that makes people feel that the communities are quite
safe and get out and about. I think it's not
a bad thing. Why are there NOBODDI is candas sparagus

(22:01):
in the shops? Historic Russell? It's a good question, Historic Russell.
I don't know the answer to that, probably for a
good reason. Hang on. I think there's been a movement
away from tin vegetables, and there's probably some merit in
that they're adding fresh rather than tinned, but still they
are delicious. Marcus Lenard skinned named after an earlier school teacher,

(22:26):
whose name was considered cool. It's great name. So there
was a person called Linard Skinned by all accounts a
welcome to the show. If you want to come through
and partake eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Just want
to work out where we are with Halloween. If it's done,
its dash. Marcus Gratchow as always think. The band Linard
Skinner was named after their science teacher who hated it.

(22:47):
Keep up the good work, Allen from the Gold Coast.
I don't know in the days they are around if
they toured New Zealand. I suspect they probably didn't, but
I've got no reason to know that. They're formed in
sixty four and the exdent was seventy seven. Andrewid's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yeah, those other two were pretty close. Leonard Skinner took
their name from a teacher. His name is actually Leonard Skinner, okay,
and he hated them with a passion. So I told
them they'd never amounted to anything. So they yeah, they
sort of mucked around me his name and named them

(23:34):
the band after him.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
So it was like an It was like a mock tribute.
It was like taking the mickey of him, was it?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah? Yeah, but I read once about the plane crash
when a few of them died and they sort of
went down the plane ran out of fuel it and
it went down sort of in a swampy area in Mississippi,
and they were actually looted. The locals turned up and

(24:04):
of course, you know, you imagine what a plane crash
is like. And the locals got in there and they
were taking wallets and they were pulling rings off, and yeah, yeah,
it was quite so.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
People were still injured in the wreckage and people were
going through there and looting it.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, yeah, because they were all pretty banged up. And
there's another spooky story where Garry Rosington, one of the guitarists,
he made it out and he got outside and he
was talking to one of the other guys and he
said that he said, I couldn't get out of the plane.

(24:50):
He says, Ronnie grabbed me and showed me how to
get out of the plane.

Speaker 12 (24:55):
And the other.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Guy, I think it was an artemious pile of the
drummer and he just looked at him and he said,
Ronnie's dead man, and yeah, and Rosington swore to the
day that, yeah, running Vancen sort of showed him out
of the plane. Yeah it was.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Yeah, that losing was yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
It was a bit unimpressive.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's really unimpressive.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, because evident they were playing poker or something, so
there was a lot of money sort of lying around
and yeah, and the locals sort of tuned up in
the swamp and we'll have that.

Speaker 13 (25:36):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, yes, it's really grim. It's a good story. I'll
read more about that. Andrew, thanks so much for that. Wow.
I just don't how to peep on the crash and
how many of them died, but it's kind of quite
hard to get the details.

Speaker 7 (25:49):
Is on.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Twenty six occupants, twenty four passages, two crew. Oh okay,
so twenty survived and six died just near Baton Rouge. David,
it's David's Marcus.

Speaker 14 (26:01):
Welcome, Hello Marcus, how are you mate?

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Good? Thank you Dave.

Speaker 14 (26:06):
Gentlemen, that's as spoke. He's basically told it all. I
remember I looked on YouTube the bit of the history
of that crash. The whole band is. I understand it
didn't take the plane, so we're bit dubious and even
taking the plane, but for some reason they decided they would.
And that's really what happened, but one of the biggest hits,

(26:27):
and I hope that you could play it for all
the listeners at Sweet Home Alabama. It has to be
we used to. I had a band for many years
in a disco discotheque as well, and that song Sweet
Home Alabama. Anyone who uns a live YouTube and live audience,
it's te you what she makes your heart stop.

Speaker 3 (26:49):

five for four, Rupert Marcus.

Speaker 13 (27:15):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 12 (27:17):
Yes, actually I'm not really phoning about what you've got
on at the moment, but I mean meaning to phone
for quite some time because you mentioned a while ago
about hotels, and one of the ones I remember is
that Ben never south of Wilning. But anyway, the other

(27:39):
thing reason I phoned is because I'm a bit older
than you are. But I remember you mentioned about Hadlow
and I think you might have had a child going
there or something or whatever.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
But anyway you meant, but I was sorry, Robert Rupert,
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 12 (28:02):
You mentioned quite some time ago about Hadlow what's those
school and mastered them?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Oh okay?

Speaker 12 (28:12):
Did you do you not remember that?

Speaker 15 (28:14):
No?

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Do you think it could have been someone else?

Speaker 16 (28:18):
No?

Speaker 12 (28:18):
It was definitely you, because you were talking about you're
originally from masterdon right?

Speaker 3 (28:25):
No?

Speaker 12 (28:26):
No, okay, well I'm from I'm from Auckland. Yeah. Oh okay, Yeah,
I thought you said you were originally from mastered them?

Speaker 3 (28:39):
All right, maybe we maybe we might have talked about No,
I don't know that. The only time I've talked about
the widded Upper recently is we're talking about a small
town and I can't think what it's called or why
we're talking about it. But yeah, are you from Headlow School? Yes?

Speaker 12 (29:05):
I was, but I'm quite a bit of Yeah, I
was there quite some time ago.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
It might have been Roman that was talking about it.
Maybe he's after twelve Roman Travis, He's he's pretty much
white Apple Represents, he's all over that stuff. Yeah, so
I think that would be him. Gee, are these going

(29:33):
to talk about old I? Headlow? What's that guy's name
at the ek door, mark Headlow Forever touring that show
about him on a bike. Goodness, what was the town
we're talking about? Just out of man?

Speaker 17 (29:44):
Well?

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Why are we talking about that? No? No, no, it
was out of Barceton. It was just a small town
that I hadn't heard of, and we talked to her
for some reason. Can't think, I can't think, Can I think?
Can't think? What about lizard, skinner and asparagus? They are
the topics so far? There's others coming all the time. TikTok, TikTok.

Speaker 18 (30:08):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Now, someone said I cooked pigs in a blanket take
to work one day for steps for my colleagues. I
didn't think it was PC to call them that. It
works since I worked for the police. I called them
cops in a douve. Very good text, very good text.
What is a devil? What is a peg in a blanket?
Someone says asparagus and kale are two of the most

(30:30):
versatile vegetables. They literally fit in any size rubbish bin.
Peg in a blanket? I don't know what a pegan
a blanket is or a cop and a douve. I'm
gonna google it up because it'll do my head in. Oh,
it's a small hot dogs. It's like a sausage roll.
I think like a sausage with pastry around it. It

(30:50):
looks delicious. Actually factually ten away from nine Marcus till twelve.
It's so interesting. Spellings of linen skin and coming through Marcus,
great show. Did you know that today is World Osterporosis Day.
Ostere Prosis is often referred to as a silent disease
because own density loss accused any symptom. One in three
women one in five men suffer an austereoporotic fracture in

(31:12):
their lifetime. Twenty to three hundred fragility flectures annually, one
hundred and ninety one thousand hostile beard days annually. What
average of five hundred twenty one hostile bed days occupied
every day by frigidity fractured patients costing two hundred and
ten million people over fifty should discuss with their GPN
get their bone density checked. Stefan Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 19 (31:37):
Good Marcus. I just felt obliged to call and tell
you that a pig and a banker. I'm pretty sure
it's a little sausage wrapped in bacon pastry, why would
it be.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Because I've googled it and the Americans seem to have
a rep. But I think, why would you call it
a pig if there's got no bacon in it?

Speaker 19 (31:53):
Exactually, yeah, I know, it's just definitally repped in that
I've had repped in bacon and I've had a made.
I think it's an English thing and I've had it
made by English people, and anyway, they're very good.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
How do you keep the bacon on? Do you put
a toothpit? Was a hold it?

Speaker 20 (32:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (32:08):
Usually when I've had them from a little lunch cafe
or something, there's been a little two picks holding the mind.
I don't get the heart foundation take of approval, but I.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Reckon they might everything in moderation, even the Heart.

Speaker 19 (32:17):
Foundation, everything in moderation.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Saying on Steff, I've never seen one for ages. Where
are you hanging out?

Speaker 19 (32:26):
I just skipped them from Baker stopped for Stop for
some lunch and also my ex mother in law who
was English.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Okay, I'm like it the sounds and that I'd like
a pick and a bacon. What's it called a pick
and a blanket?

Speaker 21 (32:41):
Here?

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I am calling a pick and a bacon I'm just
watching the recipe in now streaky bacon halved. She's put
a leaf under it. What's that leaf? Put a leaf
in it? What's the leaf? She's wrapped a leaf around it.
I wonder what the leaf is. With's the recipe? Got
to subscribe to get the recipe? What's the leaf? No,
I've got a log and as I wish I had

(33:03):
even clicked on that website. Now it looks free. Irol
I can't work out what she's wrapping in it. Complete
the dish that I've lost. There's definitely a bit of
greenery in there. Sage leaf. Lay one sage leaf on

(33:23):
each chippe lada before wrapping in bacon. Put one tablesprein
a honey in a bowl and brush each bacon wrapped
sausage with a little honey before cooking. Looks delicious. The
old sage bouchet in the Bible, the burning sage bush.
I got that one right. I feel I might have
get in touch. By names Marcus, welcome, headled at ten eleven,
twelve hurdle, twelve uh linard, skinnered asparagus, Halloween picking a blanket,

(33:53):
Devils on horseback. All of this is good stuff. Long
wait continue, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eight if

Good evening, Sean, this is Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 12 (34:09):
How are you both good?

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Thank you?

Speaker 12 (34:11):
Okay, So pigs in a blanket simply are just small
little pork sausages wrapped in bloody philol pastry and for
you know big.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
I think the English one has bacon though.

Speaker 12 (34:26):
Oh the English one.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
I don't know the English one. Eh, yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Think I think that's where. I think that's where it's
originally from. I don't know where is a VID to that,
but yeah, okay, there's two different things there. I don't
want a battle. I don't want a swiftly in type
battle over where we get the names for what Watson things.
Let me just have a sort out of the cricket
before we get to that, Thank you, Sean, Before we
get to the news. That's England done their dash. Well

(34:49):

to that school. Could done with the extra one or
two minutes on's say Headlow Headlow School for goodness sake.
Text if you want to prefer the calls. Actually like everything,
but do come through if you want to be a
part of it. My name is Marcus. Welcome Hitdled twelve
oh eight hundred and eighty tatty and nine to nine
to de text. We're talking Linard skinnered and ah Halloween.

(36:18):
I think we've always got to talk about Halloween once
a year because just to gauge how it's going. But
people seem to be yeah, I don't know. Yeah, people
seem to meh about it. That's the sense I get.
But probably feel people feel a bit met about it
because when you go to those stores like Kmart and
the warehouse, there is just so much junk. It's unbelievably depressing.

(36:41):
Not going to trade out. Country's not going to trade
their way to surplus through buying that sort of stuff.
But you might want to mention that just how you
are feeling about I just think, yeah, I'm not saying
ban it, but I just think it's probably one of
those days it's not really taken hold. Quite a bit
of a quite a bit of a controversy about the
old pig and a blanket. Some say it's past thry,

(37:03):
some say it's bacon. I'm definitely of the bacon school
of thought. I think it's definitely bacon. I'll fight you
for that, or a bit of sage Marcus. Pigs and
blanket are English thinking, very popular over Christmas in the UK. Delicious.
But someone says a pig and blankets a pork, sausage

(37:23):
and a slice of bread. I don't think that's true.
Someone said it's ristinal pick and a blanket is a
sausage stuff with mashed potato and wrapped in bacon. A
lot of variations. But if you want to talk about
Halloween or asparagus, oh that's how we got into pigs
and about asparagus wrapped in bacon. Very good. You get

(37:44):
those that those are equatory restaurants. That even is the
name of a restaurant. The number is eight hundred and
eighty ten and Lenard Skinnered presume they didn't tour in
New Zealand. I think they're one of those bands that
have that some of the members have reformed over the years.
But these days you get bands and don't even bands.
Those just are sketchy reprisals of them. They did play

(38:08):
at twenty fourteen at Matakana Leonard Skinnered. That's accorded to
chet GPI T so yep. I don't know if that's
something you want to know. Maybe I pronounce say it's
Leonard Skinnered, but I pronounce that wrong. I come through.
So we are talking also about Halloween and pigs and

(38:31):
blankets and Leonard skinnered and asparagus. That's basically what we'ren
about tonight. And what CHESSI controlling your calmings when it
comes up in bright lights, not anything I've asked for.
Just quietly, I just pushed the wrong button. It's come up.
Well here I look at it, but nothing much is happening.
Lyonard skinned Mark, this is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 10 (38:59):
Oh Lyonard Skinner have to here though here a few
years ago on Topo.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Were they the same kind of kit? Well, I guess
they weren't. But were they? How many of the originals
were there?

Speaker 10 (39:08):
About three or four? I think the playing accident, Jesse
Gaines died and because they originally had three girls in it,
and Jessames and his sister, he was elites, not the
lead singer, one of them. He was a lead guitarist, sorry,
because I've always had three lead guitarists. So they did

(39:29):
play in Taalpa about three years ago. I saw them
live down there, and yeah, they were good.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Could you think of any other bands with three lead.

Speaker 13 (39:38):
Guitarists not really a.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Good trip be a good trivia question A.

Speaker 10 (39:52):
Yeah, but though they're very good songs like Alabama, free Bird,
all that sort of things, really good songs, and.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
They looked not to They had that lockdown iconic.

Speaker 10 (40:03):
I think they call it Texas Blues.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah like it.

Speaker 10 (40:07):
Yeah, yeah, whereas Ezy Top come from and all that
sort of stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Did the Eagles have three lead guitarists.

Speaker 10 (40:16):
I think they had two lead guitarists in one rhythm
My best thing was yeah, but it's the truth. There's
a story about him being pulled out of the airplane
and he reckons. I think it's one of them pulled
him out of the end, but apparently he was dead.

Speaker 16 (40:33):
You know.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Someone rung up and earlier said, that's one of those
when you when you're he's on your on your arms,
that's one of those. Wool It's a spooky story that
one day.

Speaker 10 (40:43):
Yeah, they're a bit worry about the plane to start
off in the first place. But yeah, in the crash,
and I the story about him, he remembers hitting the
top of the trees and then just smashed and they
ended up in the swamp somewhere and yeah, and he
was alive, but according to him, he got dragged out
of there by the guy who died.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
Someone said the plane was looted to Mark while it
was in the swamp.

Speaker 10 (41:10):
I think it was way in the swamp. I'm not
quite sure about that. I'm not I don't know. But
they're a really good to listen to live.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
I love that. It's good as you okay, yeah, I
live you reckon. I see when you meet our concert
on not a live album.

Speaker 10 (41:23):
Yeah. So if you look it up, and if anybody
who's been to Taipa, they'll tell you how many of
the original members. I don't know because they're always a
big band.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Seven Wikipedia the woman that died were backing singers. But
I guess that's part of the band, really, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (41:39):
Well, they had three backing singers women bringers. Yeah, there's
tottle of them on. If you look on Facebook something
like that and look at them, you'll see the original
lineup and it's got three girls in there, and one
of the girls and one of the boys. We're brother
and sister.

Speaker 13 (41:56):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (41:56):

Speaker 24 (43:56):
Hi, Halloween story. Halloween evening. We talked, we're well, we
have she lived in a small village, really, and we
saw these children we knew coming down the street doing Halloween.
So a couple of a week, I say, before I
bought these two water pistols for our grand children. So

(44:17):
my husband says, oh, I think one of those water pistols,
so I didn't forget filled up with water. And these
kiddies are walking down our driveway and they had to
walk like around the back of the house to the
back door. And there's a kitchen window just above that
push us out. As these children came round the house,
my hubbies gave them a good squirt of water and

(44:40):
the pork is stopped, and where's the water coming from?
It's not raining. And then they looked up and saw us,
and we all had a good laugh. We got them
tricked before they tricked us.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Brilliant. What a good thing that is? Slover like that,
like a story like that? Sixteen past nine Grige's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (44:59):
Jod of Marcus. How are you sure?

Speaker 3 (45:00):
A great good thank you?

Speaker 8 (45:02):
Yes, there's a there's a pretty obvious example overlook Fleetwood,
Matt of course, Jeremy Spencer, Benny Green, Danny Twin and
like like a lot of skinner. It was one guy
on slide the town. The other guy's kind of playing
with ones for ever rather mixed in.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Yeah, any any others?

Speaker 8 (45:26):
Yes, heels and Henaky is it bakers? What is the
name or what you were probing about before?

Speaker 5 (45:38):
Sparagus repmen basis Ah, what'd you thought?

Speaker 25 (45:41):
Was he?

Speaker 3 (45:41):
I thought you're talking about your own band? What's it called?

Speaker 7 (45:44):
My own band?

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Eels and the Okay.

Speaker 7 (45:48):
Wow, it's a straight thought.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yeah, like it like a lot, thanks, Greg, appreciate that.
K Marcus welcome, Ah Marcus.

Speaker 26 (45:58):
You know that guy that rang up and said that
it was a sausage rapped pastry from and yep, he's right,
because you ask Alexa while it is and that's what
alex will tell you.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
If Alex is American focused, I think pigs are a
blankets is a British thing.

Speaker 26 (46:20):
Well, who knows, But you know, I'm just I'm just
happing in my level, saying.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
You no good, yes, good, good good.

Speaker 26 (46:28):
That's what Alexis told me anyway, because I asked them.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
I don't know, Yeah, I don't. I worry about people
getting all the information from that.

Speaker 26 (46:41):
Well, I will not ask, you know, I get my
two cents and okay.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
I'm going to I'm going to ask something with self
k thank you. But yeah, it seems like it's rich
online for people sometimes called soldiers in kilt pigs and blanket.
Kilt in Sausages is a dis served in the UK,
consisting small sausage wrapped in bacon. They are popular and

(47:10):
an accompaniment to roast turk in a Christmas dish. Yeah,
so most people in the UK will serve those on Christmas.
There's nothing mentioning the other thing, sausage and bread. The
American dish pigs in a blanket is sometimes confused with
his dish, but there on. His similarity is the name

(47:32):
and the fact that the foundation ingredient is a wrapped sausage.
The US dish wraps the sausage and bread or pastry dough.
In some parts of the US, heavily influenced by Polish immigration,
pigs and a blanket may have fed of stuffed cabbage
rolls such as this Polish gelupsky. All sounds good the
more the maria. Anything wrapped in bacon is good, but

(47:58):
nothing like a date wrapped in bacon. Ralph, this is Marcus.
Welcome to the air waves.

Speaker 10 (48:05):
Oh that was.

Speaker 22 (48:08):
The Eagles. I think did a couple of big numbers
with three lead guitarists as well, and I think you'll
find there's probably quite a few bands that they don't.
They don't run as three guitarists lead guitarists, but they
all can play and often do. And the other one,

(48:29):
I was coming up with your asteragus with the bacon
with a full skinned delight.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
We're good, Ralph, thanks for that. I don't want to go
with that. I'm not offering. I was caught speechless, but
there we go, there we go. That's something that I'll
be there with the podcast. Wow resident, Hello Jackets, Marcus welcome, Oh.

Speaker 7 (49:01):
Hy bickers.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
So you're doing good?

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Thanks jack.

Speaker 5 (49:05):
Oh it's blow the gale and Wellington and Ohario and
Lyle babies, a lot of trees coming down.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Oh well, I just how long has it been blowing for.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
It's really picked up in the last hour and a half,
two hours.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
A plane's lending.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
I honestly do not know. I am just out there
delivering food at the moment, so I haven't kept into bit.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Okay, So are trees across roads? Are roads blocked?

Speaker 5 (49:32):
I won't come across any folly blocked roads, but trees
are sort of on the foot path slash intruding onto
roads or big branchs as well.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Okay, So really it's really getting a hit.

Speaker 5 (49:43):
It's really in a hit, and it's really picking up
at a moment. So I think it's just going to
get worse for out night.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Okay, can you check the airport website down says anything
happening there? Yeah, well, people staying in and ordering food?
Is that what you're doing?

Speaker 5 (49:57):
Yeah, I'm doing the Uber eats.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
You're going to be a busy night, will it.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
Oh it's the busiest I've had in about two or
three months.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
I think, yeah, yeah, I can see the conversation we go.
Let's just stay in order something they'll be saying, won't
they Oh definitely.

Speaker 5 (50:12):
And even people going out to get takeouts, I think,
once again on the road and get blown around a bit,
they're going, note, we'll go home.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Is there much stuff blowing around the streets.

Speaker 7 (50:22):
Not too much.

Speaker 5 (50:23):
It's outside of a rubbish collection days, so thankfully nothing's
been blowing about and no rubbish blown across the roads.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Is it a southerly.

Speaker 5 (50:34):
Aut I believe it might be. I've just come from
the Old Bay and the winds coming from behind me,
so yeah, I would say.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
So, yep, it will be okay, Jack, thanks for that.
Just come up to headlines people if you want to
talk free, free windy anky you tramp anky tramp, he says,
That's what I'll be doing, anchoring your tramp. We are
talking the wind in the airport. I think earlier today

(51:03):
Duneed and christ Church were closed. I think Christie. I'm
not sure sure Aboutdanina. Now I mentioned that. Hello Kathy,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (51:11):
Good evening, Oh Marcus, I haven't run for it a
little while. I can hear the wind through my wind
from my windows and they're completely shut out of there
from the hut right on the river side. Yeah, and
it's a golf course. It's on the other side river,
so I hear. And when the floods come up, I

(51:33):
can see how it's coming out before I had to
leave the house.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
So you're not worried though, are you yet?

Speaker 14 (51:41):
No?

Speaker 20 (51:42):
I'm not. No, No, there have been a couple of
times though. It's quite safe because they're redoing all the
stop thinks. I mean, what the actual stop thinking goes
right through further than other.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
Heart Yeah, okay, yeah, sure, okay, so yeah.

Speaker 20 (52:04):
And I can feel it when it comes to the
one through the window, the wind even with the windows shut. Yeah,
because someone's two story house which wasn't related in the
area that was built.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
No, I'll see if I get some more reports about
the winter. Where did you say, did you say you're
on the lower up? Where about to exactly are you lower?

Speaker 20 (52:26):
Hat the mouth of the river of the Hot Valley.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Appreciate that, Kathy, Thank you, Marcus. I was on keto diet,
surprised to know that cheese and bacon is okay to
eat one salted treat as halloomy cheese wrapped in bacon.
On the subject of fuel starvation, it's been over four
months since the year India seven and seven crashed on takeoff.
I thought it would be a lot longer than that.
And yes, we're still not hearing anything. The last thing

(52:53):
we heard was all that talk that it was the
pilot that twitched the other guy's button, and there's been
nothing convincing to say that's the other way. How's the airports?

Speaker 18 (53:02):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (53:05):
They seem okay out of the Webster's Dictionary nineteen oh one.
Pigs and blanket is an oister wrapped in bacon and fried,
blowing its bloody ring out here in Kaiapoi, just the
one flake delied by the way iron maid and have
three lead guitarists and one lead bassist. Mic is an

(53:27):
angel on a horsebeck is simply an oyster wrapped in
bacon and grilled. A devil is a tea soak prune
treated the same way devil's on a horseback with a
name given to us in cavalry in the Middle East
in World War One. I wonder what the vegetarian friend
of a pig and a blankets called be a figure

(53:49):
in a blanket? Would it? There will be something else
They'll have lake because I think they I think they
have fake bacon called facon. That's what you called vegetarian
bacon is facan, so you would get a be a
but we have to be vegetarians, so it have to
be a soysot. Yeah, I don't know what you call it.

(54:11):
What do you call a vegetarian pig in a blanket?
Sounds like a punchline to a joke. I finally got
onto the old Traitors, the British Traitors celebrity. Quite a
good show. It's got me hooked. I'd like to play it.

(54:35):
Be good. If we had a ZB version with people
getting knocked off during these shows, could be quite fun.
Or someone says, for vegetarians, you could do a carrot
in a blanket. I don't know what you wrap them in.
Our cheapest creepers has some lartlines available. If you've been

(54:56):
trying to get through goodness? Where they all gone? Marcus?
Is something up with your ZB connection where you're listening
from Dean?

Speaker 22 (55:12):
Is it?

Speaker 7 (55:13):
Is there?

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Something happened up with it? What is it? How's it
going for? Is their problem not ours? It's iHeart in
the auckland stream sort of loud. iHeart, So just turn
into the radio twenty two to ten Hello, John, Marcus.

Speaker 22 (55:36):
You get Marcus?

Speaker 13 (55:36):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (55:37):
John?

Speaker 22 (55:39):
Yeah, I'm just bringing up. I'm in Cambridge. Here, there's
no windowed or absolutely zero. The grass isn't even blowing nothing.

Speaker 12 (55:49):
There's no.

Speaker 22 (55:52):
I'm just gonna ring because I got this Kevin. I
bought this cabin and it was a four point two boy,
I think it was three meters And I was out
here in cyclone Gabriel and the thing bludy and the
bloody peeddic made ah jes, it was so light, the

(56:18):
bloody and the peddic. So I rang up these other
guys that made homemade. Kevin's had a rustic like what
do you call it? Recycled and it was really solid,
and and they've put it here and we've we get
some pretty wicked wins through here. I don't know if
it was this cyclone Gabriel, but we had power out

(56:40):
here for nine days out here Cambridge. And why did
stand the motel costs me?

Speaker 14 (56:47):
You know.

Speaker 23 (56:49):
What?

Speaker 18 (56:49):
Was it?

Speaker 22 (56:49):
One hundred dollars a night and couldn't kill back. I've
got sleep yet near. So I had to be in
a place where I had to be put up to
the tree. But I couldn't believe it or came and
the Kevin was weighed in the bottom of the bloody the.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
Peddic shouldn't have been anchored.

Speaker 22 (57:11):
Well, I thought it was solid enough because it was
hiding behind bushes and all that sort of stuff. But
it was just the winds where we we saw trees
coming out of the ground. You couldn't get out of
here with it, guys with chancels and and I thought
it was just then Coramandalum all that. No, it was
it was the Becky Cambridge. Here we're then the uh

(57:34):
so funny like it's called Scotsman Valley Road and Japers crapers.
You shouldn't have seen the trees that were ky. You know,
they've probably been around for so many years and they
just came.

Speaker 7 (57:48):
Out of the green.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
And then.

Speaker 22 (57:52):
I've had this rustic one bull and they've done what
you said, They've put it into the ground. Oh yeah, yeah,
and cas this ever happens again because that that coramandel
One Jews, that was the nasty thing, or I think
it's happened for a long time.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
I think you're right about it.

Speaker 22 (58:11):
That the sulklone Gabriel and I couldn't come back here
because trying to get to you had there was all
day and so I was worrying a bit of my
cats and all that. But they actually got Boy. They
must have sort of saw a few boots and had
a couple of months here and there, you know. Hopefully
that's all the way I can see what happened to it.

(58:37):
It was gone, It was way down. I think it
was brown. The smoother rings of was on there that night.

Speaker 7 (58:42):
I was gone too.

Speaker 22 (58:44):
And it was really solidly built, Kevin, just like you
know the one that you can buy online. It'd probably
a bit ten twelve, you know, they for me, the
Boy whatever, But I've got this one now. It's only
been two point eight two point eight, but it's built
like what they call the solid break. And I don't

(59:10):
think one's going to go on away with the wind
the moment. But I think it's comming because it has
been silent on the weather.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Keep us informed, nice to talk, thank you. Look a
lot's happening. I think out there in the big wide
world tonight, there's a lot of internet trouble. So the
Amazon back ends down, so roadblocks, Snapchat due Lingo are down.
I think for people listening to iheartrated. It also down

(59:40):
mainly in the Auckland area. So there's something going on.
Feels a bit soul a stormy to me, but yeah,
I don't know what it is, but that's happening. So
there's a global Amazon Web services outage. Well, roadblocks down,
no great loss for hearing me. Good knock from the key.

(01:00:00):
We're seventy nine for two. They're established now. Seiford's on
thirty two, Chapman's on twenty eight. Just knocked it for
six eight overs, so we're on it. We're chasing two
three seven. Can you ask your listeners if anyone's having
issues with Alexis tonight. I can't stake and that would
be it two ay, Dan, Alexis run by Amazon. Just

(01:00:23):
been to the new Rolliston pack and save such a
gale here the youngun's moving, the trolleys are getting blown
away with them. Antonio. We're at the first of the
fire weeks in the neighborhood tonight. Not long now to
Guy Fawkes or Guy Fox as people like to call it.
Marcus and Evening listening evening marks this is you while
in chronic pain my usual evening. Are you saying three

(01:00:44):
lead guitarists or three leadless guitarists, three lead guitarists. Bands
with three lead guitarists, Iron Maiden, Leonard, Skinnered, Fleetwood, Mac
the Eagles. That's all I can think of for now,
Marc's I just come up Old West Coast Road point

(01:01:06):
is on Langsdale Road. I passed the truck that rang you.
He was going down to christ Church. Strong winds, lots
of night lightning on the West Coast. Marcus, I can't
get used to zend be on iHeartRadio. Been deleting and
renting the app, making sure it's up today. Anyone else
having else? Yeah, that's because of it. The wind and

(01:01:27):
Willington one thirty kilimeters per hour is Tim Southy's pace.
I'll start to take notice when it's Shane Bond's place.
It's the equinox, not a storm. Say that to the
people that have been killed. What was bonn He was
one fifty?

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
Was he?

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Not many people go one fifty? I think Bond?

Speaker 7 (01:01:44):
Was he?

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
Shane born one fifty? Wreck your body? The Old West
Coast Road block tonight trees and power lines down across
the road east of the military camp at around Nutt Point.
Eastbound traffic insid using Hackett Road or weed and ross
Reading Road to go to seventy three. It just happened,
so unlikely to be a quick fox. Thank you, Michayla.

(01:02:07):
I think that Shane Bond was well, there's just been
two years in, but Gold Bowl has gone over. I
was getting confused with the pitching speeds in baseball. How
good Titania one sixty went up to Bond. Fastest recorded
delivery was one five six point four.

Speaker 17 (01:02:27):
Hello Peter, believe you, Marcus to you and your listeners.
ALEXA and iHeartRadio are both down because I've got ALEXA
and it's down, and I'm watching the cricket and listening
to you, and the windows hang, the windows here in
christ Church.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
I what the damn yes, my in front of the
TV that I can see this. I should have moved
that hours ago. Oh yeah, eighty seven for three. Someone's walking.
I think Chapman's.

Speaker 17 (01:02:59):
Out, Yeah he is, yep.

Speaker 22 (01:03:02):
How do you go?

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
How do you go out there? I'll pete.

Speaker 17 (01:03:06):
I was talking to you at the time. I actually
had the head down. But I'm flowing a fair gale
here in christ Church, and ALEXA and iHeartRadio are both down.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Really appreciate that, Peter, thank you. Yeah, there was a
bit of damage in vere Cargo today. The Escott Park,
the races, the stables all got blown over, a court
of a million dollars worth of damage. So it did
come in strong. If you got any other weather stories
about the wind in christ Church or Wellington, be good
to hear from you. She had a ton of texts Marcus.

(01:03:42):
Sweet Home Alabama was written when Ronnie went fishing three
or four hours came back with all in his head.
It's not my favorite song, Sweet Home Alabama. Bogo has
heard it too many times. That's opinion, not fact. Asparagus Halloween?
How are we with Halloween? I made this statement. I

(01:04:05):
think probably it's growth. The country is kind of plateaued.
I'm not even sensing the outrage about it. There once
was also asparagus the first of the season, one of
those really seasonal foods. That's quite exciting, isn't it? First
sign of spring? You want to talk about that, that's good?

(01:04:29):
Anything else, I'm here for it. Oha eight one hundred
eighty eight to ten. Can we have people texting they're
out camping? No one's listing in a tent tonight? How
they were fearing in the wind. Oh, by the way,
old labor weekends snuck up on us, didn't it. Gosh,
the middle part of the year is just flowing. I

(01:04:52):
forgot about the emails. Marcus had dinner at Nandos and
christ Jewish Night, best restaurant I've been with this year.
Loved the food, so many hot sauces to choose from chips,
half chickening, Gaelic bread were to dive for their chain restaurant. No,
I'm familiar with the old Nandos, Hi, Marcus, I'm listening

(01:05:14):
in Shropshire, England, just outside Shrewsbury. Pigs and Blank additionally
served here with Christmas dinner and Sunday roasts. They are
normally cocktail smaller cocktail sized sausages wrapped in bacon. Just lovely,
all the best in love the show Gary Ward blowing
like Helen and Range or a goodbye Shade Sales. And

(01:05:39):
here's the update. Snapchat, Dueling, Go and several banks among
major apps down. Amazon Internet Service outage or they're saying
it's going to be a industrial cyber attack. Amazon Web
Service is the text Giant cloud computing division, and its

(01:06:00):
infrastructure underpins millions of large companies, websites and platforms. Many
of the apps on your small phone are actually running
on AWS or Amazon Web Service Data centers. An update
on its service status page, where regularly hides any problems,
it said it could confirm significant error rates for request
to one of its endpoints for your services in its

(01:06:22):
US East one region. This is how it ends. The
banks are down, roadblocks is down, Snapchat down. Due Lingo
For those that don't know dual Lingo, I'd put myself
in that class. It's an app to learn a foreign language,
and it's got its trickers. It's addictive. You go back

(01:06:44):
every day. The longer you go beat you're on a
winning streak. People love a winning streak. That's what due
Lingo is. You learn a language. What what? And Halloween
and they're out the ring doorbells. None of those are working.
So you've got one of those video doorbells are out,

(01:07:06):
be out for Halloween. They'd be terrifying, won't it. You
People were so yeah, I don't know how they work.
I think there's someone at your door and you can
look at you look at them from your phone at work.
Oh that's ridiculous. While you even have something that just
drops out so easy. Every one of those holes in
the door, they an't ever dropped out, did they? Because
a w Wes was down. There's another Wicke at that

(01:07:29):
cipher and I think's gone ninety one for four rash
Sheed's the bowler went for a big sweat, went too high.
Looks they're easy catch. Don't fall back, mate, Wasn't that
hard you got to fall back? There's a soft catch,
So yeah. Tim Seifer thirty nine for twenty nine balls
caught Cox Bowl rashied ninety one for four off ten overs.

(01:07:55):
England had got a ninety nine percent chance of winning,
according to ESPN crick Info. Do you think it takes
away the joy of them?

Speaker 16 (01:08:01):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
I quite like that. Of course it's all happening, isn't it.
What's annoying me? That guy said he'd often see a
pegging a blanket if he went to a London I've
never seen one. I don't think I'm looking in the
right part of the shop. It's probably in the piewarm,
isn't it. One of those sort of small things in
the pie warman. You wonder how long they've been there

(01:08:22):
for brace Wilton best of fifty one. Two fifty is
average of twenty three. I'm not that confident, terrible, I'm shot.
He's already thought he'd got it cleanly but went up
in the air. We're the people in Sparples. I don't
think me in Sparples. Oh that's the Big Bash and
that's a different thing. But apparently for every windy at

(01:08:43):

on Rolliston. Yeah. Thanks Rob for your email too. I'll
check that on you your texts. Don't know why the
texts aren't coming through, but you get in touch. You

on to talk almost up to news time. People beck
after the news. You got to be a part of it, Marcus.
People can listen to z'd be on the Simple radio app,
which is better than the ihart the iHeart app. In
my opinion, is it just a website If we've got
an app we downloaded in, is it'd be got an app?

(01:09:28):
Oh the iHeart radio app? Oh yeah, so yeah, I
just too confusing. I liked it simple like the old days.
Any who, back after the news, I'll give you one
more crooked up date before I go. No, I look
like they've gone to drinks or something. It's just a
montage ninety three for four, make that ninety three for five,

Speaker 27 (01:16:03):
Hi Wesley, Hi Marcus. I've noticed that people can't listen
to your radio station via iHeartRadio because of a nationwide
and worldwide outage involving Amazon Web Services.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
That's a worry. The lack of robusters for that.

Speaker 27 (01:16:27):
So, yeah, and there'll be a number of upset people
trying to turn in and wondering why they can't connect
because of these systems being down.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
And I don't like it. I don't with the I
don't like it because when we when we operates a
radio station, people can't get it. We have technicians going
up to the saddle, up to the transmitters and stuff,
but this is out of our hands. I don't like
it at all.

Speaker 27 (01:16:51):
Yeah, it's from what I understand, Amazon Web Services is
the cause by this, you know, of this large outage.

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Yeah, that's what I've heard. Also, and there's a lot
of places are fit, a lot of them music. It
seems to support a lot of apps. Amazon webs services.

Speaker 27 (01:17:08):
Even some video getting video and contubiter game services have
gone down as well.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
Yeah, I think Fortnit's down and rob blocks is down.

Speaker 27 (01:17:19):
But I did not know about a fire apparently in
the welling to regions focused on this weboutage, trying to
figure out what was going on.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
Yeah, it's always hard when something goes down because there's
never announcement. You're always trying to work out something at
your own end, aren't you.

Speaker 27 (01:17:36):
Yeah, well I always checked my connections before I checked
to see if it's.

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
Widespread unplugging and plugging in and stuff.

Speaker 27 (01:17:46):
Yep, the classic.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
Okay, now there's no word it's going to be fixed
as they say they've identified. Is that right?

Speaker 27 (01:17:53):
It's Amazon Web Services. It's unknowniced and when they'll be
back up for maybe a period of time.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Okay, thanks that, Wesley, appreciate that there's a situation. So
a lot of stuff has been affected, a lot of
things about tonight. But yeah, we'll talk about keep going

A It's truly confusing.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
Okay, I'll let you go. It's too confusing for me.
Twenty six past ten. By the way, the final wicket
Wood is the bowler and mid the batsmen, so they
are all out. Now England win by sixty five runs.
Quite a quick quick that guy would little bloke pocket rocket,

(01:22:15):
I guess I call him. It's a situation there for
the cricket. So yeah, it wasn't exciting. In fact, none
of these games that we've had against Australa, none of
them even close. Marcus. Just one, if anyone in toto
On can see the red flashing light in the sky
in the Fraser Cove area, I'm not sure it looks
like a flair, but just if anyone knows ryl Marcus

(01:22:39):
hearing a lot of prisons on Emazon Internet. There's a
danger in this. There's a danger that security cameras, including
locks maybe compromised at maximum security facilities. Keep your doors locked.
I think that'd be the case here. Hello Grant, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (01:22:55):
Hello Marcus. I just wanted to rule you know. I
don't know if you are aware of the scene artists.
We head down here in christ to chat at you
bride who used to go out at low tides and
do artwork in the scenes with just a rake and

(01:23:16):
a stick, And his name is Peter Donnelly, and I
just wanted to let those who don't know know that
they've ever seen his work and see any of his stuff.
It is absolutely amazing. But he has unfortunately passed away
in the last week at the age of nearly seventy

(01:23:42):
odd and he had done over one thousand tenned paintings
down by the arm here at the New Brighton Beach. Wow,
absolutely amazing.

Speaker 14 (01:23:54):
Man.

Speaker 16 (01:23:55):
I knew him quite well. He was a personal friend
who had met through someone else.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Now what was what was his story? Did he just
start doing it with a rake and people liked and
responded well to what is that right?

Speaker 16 (01:24:08):
Well, I think so. A bit of an eccentric sort
of a guy. Used to get around on like a
what do you call it?

Speaker 12 (01:24:15):
Chopper pushbike?

Speaker 16 (01:24:16):
You know, I've extended a wheel on the front. Bit
of a poet, writer, artist, general, general, arty sort of men.
Real nice character, very nice character. Used to wear a
foult hat and yep, yep he gets he used to
turn up there every day with his rake and a

(01:24:37):
stick and being a personal friend of his. I actually
when I found out that in the last couple of days,
I went and looked at the art work that I've
got of his on the wall that he gave to me,
and it's actually got a number on it, six hundred
and sixty seven. So I was looking up. The lady

(01:24:58):
I lived with was locking up his website and everything
that was on news and non stuff to find out
about him. You should have a quick look if you
can tonight google Pete donaldy.

Speaker 3 (01:25:12):
Come across where you say the artwork on Is it
a photo of what he did in the sand when
he gave you one?

Speaker 16 (01:25:18):
Yes? It is, mate, Yeah a print?

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
Yeah so it take copy? Did he do it from
a drone?

Speaker 16 (01:25:26):
No other people used to take photos of his work
from from the peer. Okay people, there's another chap that's
taken over now I can't think what his name is.
Somebody is at Webb, Alan Webb. I think he's taken over.
Pete did it for something like seventeen years.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
Well okay seven before the quake. Had he been on
Wells grunt?

Speaker 16 (01:25:53):
Yes he had been apparently, Yes, yes, and he's done.

Speaker 3 (01:25:58):
It's done, in touch with it's done box.

Speaker 12 (01:26:03):
Yeah, Pete.

Speaker 16 (01:26:04):
Look, he was that good. The peace people rallied to him.
He's just one of those characters, you know, yeah, very
very was.

Speaker 3 (01:26:14):
It hard for him to do because you need to
have it in your head, wouldn't you Because you couldn't
really see what the work was looking like as you
were doing it.

Speaker 16 (01:26:21):
Well, that's what used to get me. I could never
work it out. How can you be standing down via
land level you know it's sand level, let's call it,
with a rage and a stick, and somehow he's hovering
twenty feet above, you know, exactly like you say with
a drone. You must have had an eye in the sky, mate,

(01:26:43):
locking down directing him you go this way? Oh, you
look at his work is amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
Here's some every day. Has someone commemorated him in sand today?

Speaker 16 (01:26:54):
Yes, they have done, Yes, they have done. If you
go to the website, there's been a lot of stuff.
I've been scrolling through it tonight. I'm a little bit
touched and a little bit emotional about it. Actional because
you came to a couple of parties of ours, you know,
that's you know, through through other's friend. I knew his
lady friend, Jana. She's a lovely person. But that was

(01:27:18):
a long time ago. This is the date on my
picture is two thousand and seven.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
Do you know his spackground before he was sand man?
What he was?

Speaker 22 (01:27:29):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:27:29):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:27:30):
Well that's good to just appeared to just started doing
sand Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:27:34):
Well to me because I meet him through someone else,
you know, and then I realized, oh, you're the man
that does the scene. Yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
A stick just like a tea tree stick was that
was to do other stuff?

Speaker 12 (01:27:50):
Is that right? Pretty much?

Speaker 16 (01:27:52):
Pretty much? Well, Well, you would use a rake to
get the dark texture, and you know, you'd do a
stick to draw a line sort of thing or an
outline or something, and then to get there to darken
the shade, to get the contrast to make the picture.
You would uce the rape to get the dark. Yeah, okay,

(01:28:16):
please to hear from would give you the wet send.

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Thank you for honoring Thank you for honoring him, Grant.
I appreciate you coming through like that.

Speaker 16 (01:28:23):
Yep, yep, well I had to. I've been thinking about
it for a couple of three days. Actually, I was
going to ring Roman later, but I'll be lying here
and you're struggling to can't just get a bit of
conversation going. So I thought that it might help. And
and other people who know of him, Elbe you know Albie, Yeah,
who rings Roman?

Speaker 12 (01:28:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Well okay, yeah, okay, there's other people that to talk, right,
So a bit of rum. Thank you Mary, And it's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:28:52):
Hello, Yes, Marcus, I'm I'm Pete's cousin.

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
Oh, Pete the sand Man. Okay, well yep yeah yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:29:02):
So Pete passed away at the age of seventy four
last Monday. He had been chronically ill for about four years.
He had originally been brought up in Brighton in mine
Nomi Road. I used to his sister Linda that Puts

(01:29:22):
that published the book of photos. All of those photos
were actually taken by the younger brother, Kerry. His all
those studies were taken by Kerry, and Linda published the
books alongside Pete. He put it together. She lives in Auckland,

(01:29:45):
and that came out in nine. In twenty twenty two
they've told out now and I was talking to Linda
today and she's going to publish more than seems to
be an awful lot of people at want buy the book.

(01:30:05):
The other thing is to the christ which city council
has been planned quite some time. He put a park
in Brighton honoring a lot of the work that he
did around not only the standard, but he did a
lot of work around the children's playground and around the
swimming pool area, the new swimming pool area. So that's

(01:30:28):
going to be happening within the next month or two.
The city council will be doing that. But prior to
Pete being his stand up he wasn't always an artist.
And then he moved the sumwhere in fact his parents
had this huge, big clat to Begon home opposite the

(01:30:51):
cave rock and came down to this into a flat
for my children and I lived in the flat and
people lived in the summer room downstairs, and he was
always an artist, always creative, the most beautiful, most beautiful
results of a man. He's also an incredible amount of poetry,

(01:31:16):
and Linda, his sister, is going to be publishing Getting
Yet Together and publishing. That was just dying lush really
that Linda published some of his poetry. He's a very
unique character and was a not only a guest to

(01:31:38):
have as a cousin, but I love it. He really
loves cousins. But also I guess for the whole of
our community and society, if we had more peoples like
them in the world, it would be a much much
better place.

Speaker 3 (01:31:55):
If I can say, it's something christ which does well
as fostering those unique people and celebrating them. Not too big,
not too small, seems to get it just right with
those special people.

Speaker 25 (01:32:06):
M Benny Connelly did an article on him when Billy
Connolly did a motorbike through on.

Speaker 3 (01:32:13):
The three wheeled bike.

Speaker 25 (01:32:14):
I remember that, yes, yes, And he had heard about
Pete and he when he was in christ Church. Peter
was doing his stand out and he had heard about it,
so he rushed out there. He was watching Peter from
the pier and then he got his crew up and
the helicopter. Of course these days are doing by Jones

(01:32:35):
and filmed it and part of Billy Connolly's New Zealand
trip had a portion of that. But there was also
there's also been the documentary made Gosh Foster years ago.
There's been a couple of documentaries made of Peter and
his standard because nobody can understand only Pete did Peter

(01:33:00):
did of how he could rise above yeah and create
it's the size that he created was the size of
a house or more. It wasn't just a little piece
of standout. It would be the size of a of

(01:33:20):
a house in space. He would create and then the
sea would wash it away and he would get yours
being happen, and then he would come down a pass
room and he just he just flowed with nature.

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
Would he do a work every day?

Speaker 25 (01:33:42):
About every second day?

Speaker 20 (01:33:44):
He did?

Speaker 25 (01:33:45):
He did actually eleven hundred and ages stand out in
total and.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Not at some just all that all that Brighton? Is
that right?

Speaker 25 (01:33:55):
Correct? All at Brighton? Yes, he lived at Brighton, So
he lived his partner actually was called Pauline the Man
just so clearly you got that one wrong. Pauline and
she she owned the flash shops and grass and he
lived about a block. I lived about a block or

(01:34:17):
probably about five houses that one. But he gave it
up about four years ago and he got very sick.

Speaker 19 (01:34:26):
M hm.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
And you're his cousin. That's right, isn't it?

Speaker 25 (01:34:30):
And here I am, Yeah, I appreciate you.

Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
But we're just looking through his Facebook now. He seems
to be.

Speaker 25 (01:34:35):

mm hmm. He spiritually his soul has but he's been

He's had a private team, understand, have backed his wishes.
Sure with the swishes he ever since he's been young,
he's been an old soul and very much a philosopher
as incredibly Linda, his sister, and I were talking this
morning about it, as my grandfather was. And my grandfather

(01:35:27):
used to put out seventy eight the old LP you know,
the seventy eight Yes, And I worked what was Ready
in New Zealand and then Radio Network for eighteen years
and I ended up getting it put on the tape,
and then I took him the tape to one of
our producers who got all of the crackling out of

(01:35:48):
our grandfather's thing, and he's sort of very much very
much alike. Really, Yeah, how the jeans has jumped.

So there we go. That's a good bit of information there.
Thank you so much that keep those ticks coming through people,

Speaker 7 (01:36:15):
Evening, evening. I've seen it, seeing the Electric Theory heading
back towards the slipway.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
How long has it been running?

Speaker 7 (01:36:26):
Well, they're still trialing.

Speaker 18 (01:36:28):
That, I think.

Speaker 7 (01:36:28):
Okay, I was heading back towards the Slipway where it
was hons trum. I'm just wondering if he needed the
listeners know why?

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
When had it been launched just today?

Speaker 7 (01:36:45):
No, it was launched three months ago.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
But it's not doing regular trials or so.

Speaker 7 (01:36:52):
Nine other still trialing. I heard some of the guys
over talking somewhere but already had to rewire it once.

Speaker 3 (01:36:59):
Sounds like it does.

Speaker 7 (01:37:00):
And then I then I heard that they had to
order in another one hundred thousand times of call to
charge it up.

Speaker 12 (01:37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:37:07):
That's a different story though, wasn't it.

Speaker 7 (01:37:11):
Yeah, I'm being naughty saying that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
What's its capacity?

Speaker 7 (01:37:16):
Two hundred and thirty on the top deck apparently.

Speaker 3 (01:37:19):
Oh yeah, so it's on the way hiki run, is it?

Speaker 7 (01:37:23):
No? No, I don't think it'll be doing the way
you run. That way you run gets quite rough at times.
That's where they're got quick.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
Quick you're sometimes you got to get around the back up.
Sometimes you got to go to the back of matter heat,
don't you if it's really rough?

Speaker 7 (01:37:34):
Yeah, yeah, it's too rough. And that's six hundred quick kettle?

Speaker 3 (01:37:38):
Were you okay?

Speaker 4 (01:37:40):
On?

Speaker 7 (01:37:40):
You know on their big days in the summer time?

Speaker 3 (01:37:43):
You wonder what needs so many trials? Though?

Speaker 7 (01:37:47):
I think it might be a bit of a mack
up because if it's going back to the slop baze,
there's something wrong with it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
Where was it built?

Speaker 7 (01:37:53):
And they McMullan and wearing up the Chemokee River there?

Speaker 3 (01:37:57):
Oh is that where it's going back to its where
it was made?

Speaker 13 (01:37:59):
Was it?

Speaker 7 (01:38:00):
Yeah? I guess so. I'm just certainly going up there
at about lunchtimer, Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
I have got anything any other has it started blowing
it in Auckland.

Speaker 7 (01:38:09):
No, not too bad here yet, but the clouds were
very streaky afternoon, so that's a sign that we might
get someone. They're not talking much, but you know.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
Okay, streaky once. Good on you, Evan Bubye. Someone says
scollops with bacon. Oh, that sounds delicious. Scops wrapped in bacon.
You won't want to I don't come across scollops very often.
It's probably the seafood. I'm less, kind of less exposed to.

Speaker 23 (01:38:41):
Do.

Speaker 3 (01:38:41):
If do we have news in and do they have
news in today? Farms scollops? I thank you? Is it
in growing scollops? I know people go up with dredges,
but yeah, I'm sort of quite interested in scops. How
many plane crashes? Harrison Ford Beanan, I've got a good point,

(01:39:03):
So yes, we don't to abut anything else. Before the
end of the night. I'd like to hear from you.
My name is Marcus. Welcome, Leonard skinnerd good ay. Marcus
currently on the train from Toulouse to Paris after competing
in a sporting event in alb been away from his
end for a couple of weeks. In getting at homestick,
so it nos be listener from me the station on

(01:39:23):
my heart. How'd the old sports event go there, Brendan
and what was it? I'd be curious to know about
that in alb if you've got some information about that.
Always good to hear people on trains texting and if
you want to talk on Heed tonight, great talk. We're
about be nice to hear from you this day. In

(01:39:46):
seventy three, I'll check that's right, the Sydney Opera House opened.
I thought it was older than that. That's good, Yeah,
seventy three. You might have been there in his first
in its first year. That might be a story you've got.
And by the way, the other thing too is going
to be blueberries the size of ping pong balls. Yep,

(01:40:15):
the world's largest variety of blueberries will be grown and
sold in New Zealand Plant and Kitty Kitty and Waikato regions.
The Monster, a turn of variety berry that was grown
in Australia. The world's largest blueberry twenty grams. What will

(01:40:37):
you do as a giant berry for the berry industry?
The blueberry industry is with one hundred and twenty million
dollars per year. We always go blueberry picking every year.
That's always quite a good thing to do. Grow and
Pete were the ones down here do and Pete soil

(01:40:59):
nine nine to text No. One hundred and eighty ten
eighty and talk about the sand artists who has died
in christ Church the Sandman Marcus I live on Waigi.
One time we went the long way the sea was
highway turned right into Martier Ti. I had to text
my wife and I loved her and the kids. Yeah,

(01:41:19):
sometimes when you get into the come out of the
bay at Martier Ti, you hit the wind in the boat.
Sometimes the old days, in the kestrel or the baroona
it was, it could get a little bit shaky there. Well,
probably one, probably one once every two hundred trips. Not often,
but yeah, once in a while, mind you. Even in
Australia sometimes you see some of those footage when there's

(01:41:39):
when the when the seas are running in the Sydney
Harbor with the manly fairy gets out there in the
middle and gets thrown around a bit quite dramatic. Fifteen
past eleven at all on people here the twelve what
have you got? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
blueberries and Lenard skinnered and Halloween three topics for you.

(01:42:04):
I'm thinking that what you do with a giant blueberry
is you'd probably do something a bit different, like you'd
like you could use it to cover like Pavlovas and things.
There's more scope with a giant one. That's what I'm thinking.
Rapit and Bacon. Alistair, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:42:27):
Yeah, Alistair speaking from Nelson here. I just thought i'd
let you know an exclusive. It's come out today. Tom Perkins,
the captain of Nelson College Surf has seen his sign
with Newcastle Knights today.

Speaker 3 (01:42:38):
God because Inch has already gone, hasn't he?

Speaker 21 (01:42:42):
Harry Inch, Yeah, he went. Last year's captain went to
New Zealand Warriors and Somaki. Somaki has gone to South
in Sydney.

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
I'm fascinated by this.

Speaker 21 (01:42:57):
Yeah, I know you will wish.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
How good because the guy that I'm looking at, what
is Harryage?

Speaker 5 (01:43:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:43:08):
He was the first five last year?

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
So what's he done this year?

Speaker 16 (01:43:12):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
The tesman development?

Speaker 18 (01:43:14):
Was he?

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:43:16):
I think he might have played a preseason game for
the Mersaders and I think he might have got an
injury and he got them catching and how do I
say this. New Zealm Worries have been chasing him for
a while and he got a release from the Marcos
to go to New Zealm Warriors.

Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
Is he extraordinary?

Speaker 21 (01:43:41):
You want my honest opinion. Yep, he will be unbelievable
in rugby league.

Speaker 3 (01:43:46):
Because looking at I don't know. I've noted in him play.
I just saw photos of him. He looks like he's
got incredibly strong leagues.

Speaker 21 (01:43:53):
Yeah, and he's got an unbelievable like Stacy Jones. I
think he's another level from Stacy Jones. But you don't know.
It'll take three years to develop him.

Speaker 3 (01:44:04):
Is he talks?

Speaker 21 (01:44:06):
It's reasonable, not too tall, but but Tom Perkins is
an interesting one and he's to be exceptional.

Speaker 3 (01:44:16):
He's this year's keptain. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 21 (01:44:19):
Yes, he's this year. So you're the first one to
be told in the media.

Speaker 3 (01:44:23):
Okay, because that was a big story about Harry Inchno.
But old Colin Mambridge was screaming blue murder and say
they're sealing on our players. You know, but you know rugby,
I mean it's not exciting. You don't get many games
or he just you know, it's the NPC is. Yeah,
they've got it wrong. But anyway, why are the guys going.

Speaker 7 (01:44:46):
I knew you're going to ask.

Speaker 21 (01:44:49):
It's not it's a lot of the players. I can't
speak for them, but they're looking to see what's happened
was the previous players over the last three years in rugby?

Speaker 3 (01:45:01):
I know.

Speaker 21 (01:45:03):
After speaking to Tom's father today because he rang me
and without disguising too much as contractors exceptional And.

Speaker 3 (01:45:13):
This is for the Newcastle Knights. Yes, they need someone
because they're a dad team, aren't they. I mean they've
done badly.

Speaker 21 (01:45:20):
Oh well you'll soon find out.

Speaker 3 (01:45:23):
But they were bottomed this year.

Speaker 21 (01:45:26):
Yeah, but there's only one way to go when you're
at the bottom.

Speaker 3 (01:45:29):
And because Nelson's not a league town. Is this anything
to do with old Simon Mannering because he's from Nelson College?
It's an't he?

Speaker 21 (01:45:36):
Yes they been. If any of the Ruggy officials are listening,
the scouts are chasing the whole of New Zealane.

Speaker 3 (01:45:47):
They're watching games, they're watching videos.

Speaker 21 (01:45:50):
No, they're watching games.

Speaker 3 (01:45:51):
They're coming to games.

Speaker 21 (01:45:54):
Yeah, I can tell you when they had a preseason
game between Nelson College and Saint Thomas's at the start
of the season. There was a scout there from Australia
watching it in haml the Springs and you can read
the two in the lines watched team it was how
do you know I've got connections.

Speaker 3 (01:46:11):
Mate, And I'm trying to I'm trying to think where
they play rugby and Hamlet Springs as a been a
bit of time when they were not playing rugby. Where
is the field? Is that by the golf the golf course?

Speaker 18 (01:46:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 29 (01:46:23):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (01:46:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (01:46:26):
And the tom made the New Zealand Secretary Schools Under eighteen.

Speaker 3 (01:46:30):
This year, but they got threshed by Australia, didn't they.

Speaker 21 (01:46:35):
You know, I'm pretty sure that you know, I think
that might have been right. But yeah, and I can
tell you now there were scouts there from rugby league
there too, mate.

Speaker 3 (01:46:43):
And for those that don't know, because I spoke to
you before, you work at Nelson College, that is that
right Nelson.

Speaker 21 (01:46:49):
No, I'm a private person. I have some evolvement there.
I was the first one to start professional tennis coaching
in Nelson. So and I've checked all the teas to
night before I've spoken to you tonight. Everything, all the
permissions have been so.

Speaker 3 (01:47:10):
And the other guy with the first and the second name.
What's his name?

Speaker 21 (01:47:16):
Markimaki?

Speaker 3 (01:47:18):
Okay, tell me about him.

Speaker 21 (01:47:22):
He's an interesting.

Speaker 12 (01:47:25):
Adult.

Speaker 21 (01:47:26):
He's come from nott Jaker. Yep, he's played rugby most
of his life. He's come from a background that's not easy.

Speaker 13 (01:47:35):
Yep.

Speaker 21 (01:47:36):
Exceptional rugby player yep. And I think he will be
exceptional too.

Speaker 3 (01:47:44):
And where did you say and where did you say?
Say he's gone? He's gone to South's Oh yeah, well gosh,
they any good players too.

Speaker 21 (01:47:57):
And they've all got exceptional ball skills. So Harry just exceptional.
And you can see videos of them on if you
look on I think on the Antonette there and yeah,
the New Zealand Warries have probably got a mere marked
in three years about saying too much.

Speaker 16 (01:48:18):
But so.

Speaker 21 (01:48:21):
Yeah, he's got the making something really exceptional and so much.
No guarantees though.

Speaker 3 (01:48:26):
Yep, no guarantees if he's been injured and Cancuster really
might be worried about it, so Markey, so Markey here,
big unit.

Speaker 7 (01:48:32):
Yeah, solid mate.

Speaker 21 (01:48:38):

Speaker 15 (01:48:51):
Hey, she's blowing lips with Gail here South Brighton years
from Northwestern. I think I stood out there Bridge Street
looking due west and I can see the front going
up the west coast, and the old fresher lightning was
quite increasive. But Marcus, I've got an interesting question for
your English rhyming slang. How many lady good divers make

(01:49:14):
a monkey?

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):

a monkey fist. It's a monkey's chance at a.

Speaker 14 (01:49:36):
Monkey.

Speaker 15 (01:49:37):
I carry a monkey in my wallet.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
Yeah, I just want to think with a slam. Slam
comes with money. You have to tell me a five
hundred one hundred.

five hundy.

Speaker 14 (01:49:52):

Speaker 14 (01:52:05):
Are they?

Speaker 15 (01:52:06):
I thought the you don't mean the peripheries.

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
All the orcors are moving down. I saw a big
article on the paper about that in the weekends.

Speaker 12 (01:52:14):
There they go.

Speaker 3 (01:52:18):
I'll start the story now, but it's a big, big thing,
Oh big thing.

Speaker 15 (01:52:26):
It's crazy. It's an expanding year. But I'll be interesting
where they're going to. Wouldn't wouldn't be too fond of
the heading of Brighton.

Speaker 3 (01:52:41):
You're flocking the I'll trying to find out the details
of that one, David. But thanks for that. Half past eleven,
just right on time, people, here'll twelve. Hello, Jennie, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 28 (01:52:51):
Hello Marcus, it's Jennison christ I'm just ringing to tell
you I was after the cricket. I went to bed
and I flipped back the sheet and he's a dirty,
big white tail spider right where my pillow was. Wow,

(01:53:13):
a big one. I'm a bit frightened to go to
sleep now I've slipped back everything and had a lock
and listened.

Speaker 3 (01:53:20):
To you and oh, you're never going to feel settled tonight,
are you, because you're not quite sure where it's gone.

Speaker 26 (01:53:26):
No, No, I got him.

Speaker 3 (01:53:27):
Oh did you all go to bed then?

Speaker 20 (01:53:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 28 (01:53:30):
No, but I'm still fight. He might have a girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:53:35):
I wouldn't be too worried about it, would you.

Speaker 28 (01:53:38):
Yeah, because I've seen a guy that had an ulcer
on his league from supposedly a white tail spider in Australia.
It was pretty horrendous.

Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
You don't know much about white towels. I've always never
quite sure if they are a real thing or not.
So Yeah, I know that people swear by them, but.

Speaker 28 (01:53:58):
Yeah, well I think they say they can't be one
hundred percent sure that they're bitten by a white tail.
But that's what he thought he was bitten by when
he lived in Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:54:12):
Yeah, well, least you saw it. At least you saw it.

Speaker 13 (01:54:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:54:17):
I could have been sleeping for days because I go
from one side of the bed to the other side
for the next week.

Speaker 3 (01:54:23):
Yes, you try not to wear out the mattress.

Speaker 28 (01:54:28):
No, I just don't have to clean the shapes every
week two weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:54:33):
Just do what you're saying.

Speaker 28 (01:54:35):
Yeah, and I think we have a Frozen Direct in
Sydenham opposite Oky. I'm pretty sure I've heard. Yeah, it's
quite a good store.

Speaker 3 (01:54:49):
This sounds fantastic, it is.

Speaker 28 (01:54:52):
And then you can whip across the funky pumpkin.

Speaker 3 (01:54:55):
I love funky pumpkins.

Speaker 13 (01:54:56):
Jen.

Speaker 3 (01:54:56):
Just nice to talk thank you Halloween and festive by Halloween,
because once upon a time it would it would cause
outrage for people saying it's not our holiday, to people
saying they've got no right, it's dangerous and all sorts
of things. But people kind of have there's just a
lot lot less hysteria around it, which I think probably
is meaning that people aren't his worried. But also I
think probably it's kind of I think it's taken the

(01:55:22):
hole in this country that some thought it would have.
A lot of people had to looking and thought maybe
it's not for us. That's certainly the view I get.
But yeah, there's certainly when you go to your kmart
or your warehouses and your supermarkets, boy, there's a lot
of cheaply made junk that's been sold to try and

(01:55:45):
I don't know why the whole point of it really is.
And how many plastic pumpkins you need in the world.
That's my take on that one, but there you might
want to mention that also too. Oha eight hundred and
eighty eight to eighty ten away from twelve Mikey Bebben
along from midnight tonight, Good evening, Jay, this is Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:56:02):
Welcome greeting.

Speaker 30 (01:56:06):
Very carefully. Again. I went to bring up talk about
white tailed spiders. That lady had the awful experience find
that big one in a bed, but it freaked her out.
I'll freaked me out. One of my best friends and
a farmer guy got bitter in his shin and it
was like a bullet hole and the whole his whole

(01:56:28):
leg went rotten and the most terrible thing I've ever
seen of purple and mark. And he's in hospital for
four or five months in Palmerston Hospital. So I say
to people, check your gun boots and your shoes and stuff,
because they are really dreadful things. Are not just a
little spider. They can really do terrible damage. It really stuck.

Speaker 3 (01:56:50):
So it is it how you treat them that's the worry,
is it?

Speaker 30 (01:56:56):
Well, I'm not sure he got bitten. Provent take that
much notice in this. But when I saw it was
like a bullet hole in his shin and the whole
shan't was going wrong and a terial colors of purple
and I I was so upset that he hadn't got
to hospital, but it ended up being really bad. Way

(01:57:17):
from four or five months. I'm just saying people, they're
not saying to mark around, I really check your shoes
and clothes and kill them if you see them, because
they really deadly things. And he was me with the
same ask. It made him an umvelope basically, and it
was he has bitten my white down.

Speaker 3 (01:57:37):
I think I think often if you get the infection,
it's because it's not the spider bite itself, but it's
in fiction at the bite site. I don't know what
that's about.

Speaker 30 (01:57:46):
I think it starts whatever they starts rotting the flesh
that the poison in it. I've gone back to Arrington,
but it was quite upsetting because it was you I
loved by himself and he couldn't really work or do
much anymore after that, and as an hospital for quite
a few months. It was a shocking thing. I've seen

(01:58:10):
for years that was I mean, really cared for. But
it's it's like a because leg tend to be rotting
and it was like a bullet a little bite and
like a bullet hole a twenty two block it sound do.
I've never seen that.

Speaker 12 (01:58:24):
Quite like it in my life.

Speaker 30 (01:58:26):
So you've got to be really careful. And I've seen
a fear around and I kill the horrible things, but
you know they're quite sneaky things. And that lady I
just freaked me out when I had watched to wake
up near near a head and there the lady you
ran up before tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:58:42):
We don't freak you around and still listening and scared
to get a bead.

Speaker 30 (01:58:46):
Well, I would be, as I tell you, I would be.
I'd have to go somewhere else, and I dripped everything
and spray everything. But it was when you've seen it's
someone you care about, and so we've got stuff this
whole life. I don't mate.

Speaker 3 (01:59:00):
Did you recover in the end.

Speaker 30 (01:59:02):
No, it never really recovered from it, or in fact,
that got really bad again. I had to go back
and I think for another lot of three or four months,
and he's got in his late seventies, and it was
just I've actually sat.

Speaker 7 (01:59:18):
Up my own eyes.

Speaker 30 (01:59:19):
I wouldn't have believed that someone had told me about it,
but to see it for your own eyes. And I
was the one that got him to the hospital. But
it was sickening. It was so bad. I affected the
whole I'm talking about the whole area of about probably
sixty seven inches right around and got into his calf,
but it was in his shin, right in the shin,

(01:59:41):
and the hard part of your shin was like a
bullet hole and it was never the quite same. So
I just say that people be very careful for those
white tails are really deadly.

Speaker 3 (01:59:52):
Thank you. Jay seven to twelve alistair ats Marcus good evening.

Speaker 11 (01:59:56):
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:59:57):
Years.

Speaker 11 (01:59:58):
I've had sadul like this many many times. It was
called by the white pale spider many gardeners to get
it too up and it starts in your leg and
it starts by be britten in a cat in the

(02:00:19):
skin where they are an opening where the white tail
spider can go and bite, and your legs starts to
get eighteen. And you had to see that a doctor
straight away. No, nothing around because.

Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
All the websites I go to say that there's a
lot of misinformation about white tails.

Speaker 11 (02:00:45):
Well, I don't know about that, but I've had a
many a million time show you light. The doctor told me,
let you've been gardening. You've been gardening heaving you for years.
So that's one place where you can pick it up.

Speaker 3 (02:01:06):
Yeah, I'm looking at the paper websites is how venomous
and white tails. White tails are blamed for a lot
of nasty symptoms, particular ration of the skin. Over studies
have shown there is nothing in white tailed venom that
of particular concern for humans. Oh yeah, I think secondary
fictions can happen.

Speaker 11 (02:01:28):
Yeah, the affection is terrible, but I.

Speaker 3 (02:01:30):
Think sometimes the fictions are blamed on white tails, but
they've never seen the white tail.

Speaker 11 (02:01:36):
I've got a photograph of them.

Speaker 3 (02:01:39):
You would have you okay, okay, well not in your case, Alistair.
Hello May it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 31 (02:01:45):
Oh yes, I used to do gaming in christ which
on from Christ it's on the thank God. But yeah,
before that, lady frightens herself to the if that spider
would have been right around to her room and checked
out for any other spiders because we don't like to share.
So if she's got it, they'll be pretty unlikely any

(02:02:06):
other spiders in the room because they'll check out for
Daddy long legs. And if you've got a Daddy long
legs in the room, it will kill the It will
fight to the death and kill the white tail. But
I had problems for them. In one garden I did there,

(02:02:27):
there was a white tail come out, and you know
it's for a white tail because if you just stick
and push it gently towards them, they'll put the front
fans up and move forward. Don't any spider that will
do that. Most spiders just uphimi and run away, you know,
So you know it's a white tail, and they're usually

(02:02:47):
averagely big, and I put a hose on to see
how many others were in this part that I was
trained to garden and move half doesn't. Then I said
to the lady, look, I'm sorry, I can't do gardening
there because there's at least half a dozen of white
tails and it's a lovely hot sunny day. We'll have
to leave it.

Speaker 18 (02:03:06):
For and have a day.

Speaker 31 (02:03:08):
But I never got bitten by one or anything like that.
But you have to be aware. They are pretty aggressive
and they will They will attack you if you start.
If you start, they'll finish the flight.

Speaker 29 (02:03:22):
Streat thank you may Eric, Yeah, just quickly make you've.

Speaker 7 (02:03:27):
Got to go.

Speaker 29 (02:03:28):
The lady's being on the deaddy long legs. Leave them
in your house, don't slack them up back and clean out.
I've got footages of several times. I've got each footage
of the of the dead long legs, what they do
to the white tail spider. They actually take them out.

Speaker 3 (02:03:46):
So the deadly long legs are your friends, right, They.

Speaker 29 (02:03:49):
Definitely are your friends.

Speaker 14 (02:03:50):
Mate.

Speaker 29 (02:03:51):
They leave them in your bedroom because the white tails
always crawl up around the top of the roof. They
usually hide behind your curtains. Don't spring them fly spray either,
because that makes them run away over the place you're
going to kill them, just squash them.

Speaker 3 (02:04:03):
Nice to hear from me, Thank you for me people Now,
