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

Speaker 2 (00:11):
That'd be literally the calm before the storm, and also
so sort of in some ways the cartage after the storm.
A lot's going on tonight. I see too, there's a
fire and white tattoo. So there's four or five fires
that are ongoing around the country, which is a result
of the strong drying winds yesterday and the fact that
probably the country is dry than normally would be at

(00:31):
this time of the year. So there's a large number
of fires happening. And obviously too, I think about one
o'clock tomorrow, the very strong winds start. They are saying,
without hype, that the winds could be as strong as
the weather event that we talked about earlier, what probably

(00:54):
two months ago, was it in August I think it
might have been, and commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the
christ Church big blow. So yeah, so there could be
some really strong So that's what they are talking in
the scale of factor of it's going to be as
big as that the big blow of August one seventy five.

(01:14):
So yeah, and there's warnings everywhere about this, and I
imagine the thing is to take the warnings free seriously. Yeah, However,
it might happen that the events aren't quite as don't
go quite as planned, because that is meteorology for you.

(01:37):
You never quite know what winds are going to do.
They can pick up or they can die down and
do unexpected things. And we might be in a situation
Friday we're saying well, actually that wasn't as bad as
we thought. We've also being in a situation of Friday
saying well that was a lot worse than we thought.
So very strong winds coming through and also a large
number of fires are around the country today, people warning

(01:58):
all sorts of things that what people should do before
these fires. It's kind of complicated. I know that, But
I know that universities have closed. I know that Canterbury
University's just gone online, as has Wellington. So all sorts

(02:20):
of things are happening tomorrow to stop people being in
places where they could be affected. So yeah, just so
you know it's going to be fairly serious. You might
have something to say about that, you might want to
talk and it's a hard thing to talk about on here,
so I don't really know what we can say about it.
But you might want to talk about the fact that
they're saying that you should do things in preparation for this.

(02:41):
I don't really know what you should be doing. I
think probably the most sensible thing would be probably walk
around your property and secure bits of ten or anything
that looks a bit loose. There's no well. I think
probably any council that's sensible won't be having rubbish collection tomorrow.
I know that Southend's not having rubbish collection, which makes
it difficult because next week's a short week and that

(03:02):
always puts things behind. So probably the wheelibin won't go
out in those places that are affect But you might
have some other suggestions that people can do when the
wind's about to happen. I do know that the person
that we spoke to last night from Riversdale, she was
affected because the power was out and her water is
on gas, so she had no water. So probably my

(03:28):
bit of advice would be you probably get a couple
of cerdly the containers and fill them full of water
so you've got some spear water if you need, if
you need a if you need a drink or something
for tomorrow for Friday. That would be my only advice.
I was gonna say to make a cup of tea,
like correct myself, because you wouldnt make a cup of teena.
You've got a cold range. So if you've got the
advice for the wind when it happens, I don't know
what other advice people, what other practical things people would have.

(03:51):
I would imagine if you've got an if you've got
a trampoline that's not anchored, I'd flip that, flip it
upside down and put bricks on it. That would be
something probably you could do. I don't know what the
other suggestions you have got for this. It's not like
flooding where you've got to clean the gutter, because it
seems like the problem that the culport is going to
be the hidden's more so than anything else. You've got
the suggestions about that or any comments from today or

(04:13):
any updates on the fire and everything, do let us know.
But yeah, so thing it's about preparation. But yeah, my
suggest you will be here, get get water, get water
available so you can use that and secure your house.
Are you gotta bring the outdoor furniture? And I would
think probably that's an important thing to do because that'll

(04:33):
go that'll end up on someone's roof. Yeah, anyway, do
get in touch you on talk. My name is Marcus
Hador twelve o'clock eight hundred and eighty eight and nine
to nine. Tow to text you, I'd flip the trampoline.
There'd be my suggestion for you. Cameron. It's Marcus. Welcome,

(04:54):
Hi Cameron.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh, good evening, Marca. First off, the rink very good. Yeah,
So obviously talking about the river tonight here on Thomas tonight.
That's been quite glustery all day. It seems to be
ramping up tonight. So earlier, earlier this afternoon, I was
around at my place. I made sure my recycling bin

(05:18):
was in the shed. I normally leave it out, but
I'll put it inside. All those sorts of things. I've
made sure I've got new batteries in my two good talkturees,
alongside my trustee between sister radio, all of those basic things.
I was at mums later this afternoon, so made sure

(05:40):
that HER's been and recycling bin who are in the
shed as opposed to outside at the back of the
house like she would normally have, and alongside with her
little table and chairs, putting those in the shed so
that they don't get blowing around the neighborhood. All of
those basic things making ser Sea's ready for what may

(06:01):
happen up here. But it sounds like other parts of
the country are going to be in for much mo
than where I am up here on Palms to Doors
La Tire.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Kevin thinks so much at thirteen past. The other thing
from I should say is through is that whether you
like or dislike fireworks, and it's a polarizing thing, and
tonight it's not the night for that discussion. But if
you are someone that's supporting of people's rights to set
off crackers and bangers, then probably you should refrain from

(06:31):
using them the next couple of days because no good
stories will come from fireworks in this sort of weather,
because fires will happen and they'll ban it. So yeah,
I'm sure they're about to ban it anyway in the
next five or ten years. But yeah, if you're someone
that sort of supports that, just don't be don't be
an idiot. Couple of texts, Marcus, I was just a
putting here in Upper Hut the other night when the

(06:52):
winds were windy, and some neighbors thought it was okay
to set off fireworks. Well, that's right, Marcus. Shall I
put my outdoor over a roof open or shut? Oh,
that's a good point. Tie your tramp down, put torches
and easy excess spots. Put the water aside, guess up
the generators for very good. That's are we are looking
for suggestions for the wind tomorrow. But yeah, there's a
huge amounts of warnings and alerts about what's going on.

(07:14):
So if you've got some more information for us, it's
going to be a state of emergency declared for Canterbury,
South Marlvra and CA Coulder. Wind warning upgraded to red.
By the way, there's almost two there's also two thousand
homes without power in the Whited Upper And yeah, the
situation too, that fire in CA Coulder has destroyed a

(07:34):
number of homes and crews are also battling multiple blazers
in Port Agaho and Southern hawks By. That's multiple blazers.
I thought it was one yesterday, so that seems to
have escalated. Also last night there's a fire and Timid
I'm not sure what's going now, And there's also a
fire and White Tatty and that's new stuff.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Also they've asked people to check old burn piles to
make sure they are cold all the way through. How
would you do that because you put your hand in
that to check the carding up, scolding yourself. Don't quite
know how you check that are actually as cold as
I've falled that problem myself with eshes in the past.
Stay away from large trees, low lying areas and riverbanks. Yeah,

(08:19):
and prepare an emergency plan with your household. Winds of
the strength can cause damage to roofs and power lines
and pose the risks alive from falling debris. Or don't
go outside and don't drive. That's what they're saying. But
this is all tomorrow. Mainly it's Canterbury that seems to
be affected. It's the information I've got. There will be
power cuts and there's power cuts now. If you need
information about power cuts are by the way in Willington.

(08:40):
All the buses and ferries have been canceled. I think
the trains have been canceled too, which is kind of bizarre.
I don't know why they've canceled the trains. They're supposed
to be the sort of services that would be whether
resistant and reliable. Sixteen past eight. If you want to
come through, my name as Marcus welcome eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. If I've got to call there, Dan, well, yeah,

(09:02):
if it's there, but I can't let Yeah, Marcus, I
live in christ We have no mayor counsel yet. Is
there yet to be sworn in? How does the state
of emergency work in this case? I think there would
be kind of interim powers that would happen. Wilworth has
been closed down in Blockhouse Bay. The real estates have
fenced off and put signs up for sale. Well that's

(09:23):
not to do with the weather, though, is it. Yeah, Wesley,
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, the conditions here are We've already got very strong
winds in new Town. Yes, and as you just mentioned,
basically our entire public transit network is down. So basically
Wellington is shut down until this weather passes. We are

(09:50):
expecting power cuts, we are expecting trees becausing damage. The
reason why the train lines have been closed is because
trees coming down onto the power lines that run the trains,
and potential slips from heavy rain as well.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
And I imagined then if you've got, if you've got, if
you've got branches coming down on the power lines. Then
you've got people having to extricate themselves from a train
in strange places or in tunnels with live wires.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
While they stopped the buses though Whisley.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
We've got double decker buses that warble quite considerably and
good and strong breeze, and they that they have a
certain wind speed that if we hit that they have
to be pulled off the road. It's more like overall driver,
driver and passenger safety and comfort levels. This is the

(10:45):
second time this year that Wellington's had to do this.
We did it in back in May as well.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Justifiably. I guess it was because it was big with
her in May, wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Yes, it was the subbly that did it last time
to us. But one piece of information I'd like to
get out to people, Well, oh, they are on their
way home, if they can pop into the supermarket and
get as supplies for the coming twenty four hours so
that you have something to eat and drink while you're

(11:19):
stuck at home.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, I guess most people would have stuff there anyway
when their house wud I suppose it's when the time
you open the eltons will be, is it right?

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Well, for some of us, it's because depending on how
shopping day falls, like mine normally falls on a Thursday.
So that's why I had to man scramble and get
supplies because I wouldn't be able to go go and
do my groceries tomorrow because of the weather.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I like that expression man scramble. How strong the winds
expected to be tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Anywhere from one hundred and forty k plus to well
over one hundred and fifty k one hundred and sixty
k's at the highest peak, and you know the tops
of the hilltop roads and things. I expect Rumortucker Railroad
will probably close, and highly likely that one will close

(12:15):
Transmission Galley the top of that will be Effie. But
we are also going to be dealing with heavy rain
as well. And it was just last night that I
put an alert out on your show about these conditions
coming our way. Yeah, I ain't messing around.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Appreciate that, Whizzy, thanks so much. They're twenty past nine
and Marcus must be the calm before the storm here
and christ Itch did cam beautiful evening. What about the
homeless living in those areas? Do do they? Is anyone
helping them. That's from pet Marc's been through a few
power cuts the Upper North Island. Good typically have a
bath filip full of water. If you're in the country,

(12:56):
you can use those buckets of water for flushing end things.
Marcus should now phones be going off with warnings. I
think people know enough about it, although I wouldn't be
surprised if there are those phone alerts tomorrow. When did
we have the last phone loot that caused so much Oh,
that was with the tsunami. What it has asked that
was remember that because some god of it most didn't

(13:17):
remember that. Well, that was talkback gold. Tomorrow. Sounds like
it's going to be a mega Thursday and major windstorm,
a mega strike that may become run on of steam
and the funeral of Jim Bulgier at Trinity Thursday. That's right.
And flags are supposed to be at half mass tomorrow,
but they won't be because of the wind concerns. So
if you're seeing if you're seeing buildings, civic buildings without

(13:38):
the flag at half most thing, hang on. That's not
quite right. So if you're seeing civic buildings without the
flag at half marst, think hang on that's wrong. It's
because the wind warning. Trump's the protocol when a leader
dies of having the flag at half mast. Oh yeah,
that's true. By the way, there's a band on fireworks
from tomorrow. Someone sees no trains in Wellington, So there

(13:59):
we go. That's what's happening. But you've got any other
suggestions let us know. Yeah, Marcus hoped going out and
panic buying no crumpets. You're good on you. Marcu's information
from one end and seeing that every blowing on the
tracks and also the lines, I imagine what work from home
will be the order of the day. Also, I checked

(14:22):
with my only neighbors tonight just to ensure she was
all prepped. Thanks Jess. You check with your neighbors, make
sure they're up and running. Twenty one past eight, looking
forward to your calls. Eight twenty four Alfonso, this is Marcus.

Speaker 7 (14:35):
Good evening, Marcus. Look sorry, it's it's fucking down here
that I've got the wintergreen WI the car out and
shine h you're a Southlander, aren't you. I mean you'd
probably relate to this. I've lived in Wellington for a
while and one of the best things, one of the
most exhilarating things everyone should have on their bucket list

(14:59):
is to go for a run round the south coast
and a fantastic storm. It's so accelerating, it's a tightful.
Probably can't even hear me.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Are you saying it's I didn't hear from the study
he's saying it's raining really heavily. And you've got the
windscreens on. Is that right?

Speaker 7 (15:16):
Well they're in bumping braille now, but that's okay, we'll we'll,
you know, it's old everything again gently, but the windscreen
wipers are fairly noisy in the sole busy in a
bus well, that's what I call. It's my car, you know.
But I don't want I don't want to put anyone.

Speaker 8 (15:35):
In danger here.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
And you keep running warm because it does get cold
and that that Wellington southerly. But it's a fantastic thing
thing to do to run.

Speaker 9 (15:45):
You know.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
All the salt is not from your sweat, it's from
the sea breeze. And there's often c across the road.
It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
What time are you What time are you kicking off, Alfonso?
What time are you hitting the hitting the streets?

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Sorry I missed that.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
What time are you running.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
If I was down there.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
You didn't say you're not there? Where are you?

Speaker 7 (16:12):
I'm I'm an Orkland, I'm the orcand thing. And it's
comparatively mild weather like they have up here, you know,
it makes them soft. But you, being a Southlander would
be able to relate to that sea coming off straight.
You know, are youting some of this weather?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Are you a bus driver?

Speaker 10 (16:31):
No? No, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Okay. Have you moved? Have you moved to Auckland? I
have Okay, there's lots of picked from that called okay,
so you can't. I don't think Aukland's going to get it.
But anyway, good luck with that. Nice to talk. Alfonso
thinks that, by the way, there have been alerts. There
have been phone alerts I think in Ca Coulta and
Hawks and the wider up about the winds too. And

(16:53):
someone has just texted me also and they have said
textas says get this. I've received phone warnings from Wymcadelly Council,
North Kandaby that's from Chrissy Marcus. I'm sweet as in
the Naki Stewards on the cast iron stove. Everything's tied down.
Some said, I think the use of emergency alerts is

(17:15):
absolutely warranted. It should include warnings against open fires and fireworks.
It's astounding how many people are not engaged with public media.
There will be significant number who are totally unaware of
what is coming. You're hard to get them these days,
isn't it. I don't know how you cast the net
to get the idiots these days. TikTok. Now I've got

(17:41):
a text an email from the guy that was stuck
and ward all yesterday because of the road closures. High
Marcus truck driver James here. I've made it to Balcluther
in the cargo, then on to christ Church tomorrow. I
expected to spend the night in Timandoo tomorrow. Weather it's
not on my side. Everyone on the road tomorrow, please
give trucks lots of room. Slow down is hard stopping

(18:04):
and the wet takes time in a truck. Just got
a messages Inny. Give the truck because the trucks will
be out there. The curtainsiders, I think I've ever seen
curtainsider as much so I said last night. I think
it's a great expression to say, David, it's Marcus welcome, Hi, David.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
You welcome you?

Speaker 10 (18:25):
Uh?

Speaker 11 (18:26):
I live in clark Ville, clarkvill car boy, and I'm
looking forward to tomorrow, me and my friend mate because
in the winter time, we've got all these trees that
that are blocking our sunlight or for about there's two
quarters of the day, so you know where were hopefully
they all get brown over tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
That's what That's what I wanted to bring up, ringing up.

Speaker 10 (18:49):
And tell you, well, are you gonna help?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Are you going to help them get fallen over?

Speaker 12 (18:54):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Are you going to give them an assist?

Speaker 13 (18:58):
No?

Speaker 14 (18:58):
No, no, no, We're happy.

Speaker 11 (19:00):
That these strong ones come along. And no, no way,
I'll stay inside because it's these trees are quite big
and they're rocking at the bottom, so I.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Might go, did you get yeah, you know what's the trees?
Are they? David?

Speaker 14 (19:13):
They're wine trees?

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh yeah, they'll go yeah. Let us know you never
spoken to anyone from Clarkville before. Jeep, it's getting touched.
Here'll twelve oh way a one hundred and eighty today
in nineteen nine to detext it's the weather for now
we will talk sausages and all sorts of other stuff
happening actually tonight. There's a lot on o no, no,
it's Marcus script good evening.

Speaker 12 (19:36):
The marks gone.

Speaker 15 (19:39):
Oh yeah, so what's the apparently as I supposed to
be like hecticare's winds and in and around the canegery region. Right, yeah,
I don't fully get that at the moment because I'm
faced by pretty much in the heart of where there's
wind morning. Is I'm white baiting like that about Dashley?

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Right?

Speaker 15 (19:54):
Yesterday the winds are pretty bad. I'm being perfectly honest, like,
the stands are pretty bad. In fact, I nearly died
taking the net out, But it's been pretty calm today's.
I don't think this one's actually on his way.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Hey, did you get any bait?

Speaker 15 (20:05):
Honestly, not a worth nearly dying over?

Speaker 6 (20:08):
Bro?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
No, okay, Well I just thought were you struggled to
get your need and it was a net full of bait.
It was just struggling against the wind. Is that right now?

Speaker 15 (20:15):
The stand itself collapsed on top of me. Well, I
thought I was getting the net out like the worst
possible time, because the wind was just that bad that
it just kind of, you know, talk like a sale.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
All the meteorologists say tomorrow it's not supposed to be
blowing now, But tomorrow will be worse than yesterday, is it? Yeah?

Speaker 15 (20:35):
I'd ever just to put the net and see what
happens to.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh no, well, if they're running, they're running. Are you
how far from the mouth?

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Are you right at the mouth? Broke right up?

Speaker 2 (20:46):
There are there many stands there.

Speaker 15 (20:49):
I'm like the second one down, broke you what? I'm
not the second one down.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I just can't see them on the Google maps. I'm
looking where they are because I kind of like to idea.
So you're okay in about it? Have you heard much today? No?
But you had some in the season, right.

Speaker 15 (21:09):
I didn't have the stand in yesterday because it's pretty broken.
You know, it's broke around me?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, okay, you haven't got any alerts on you. You
haven't had any alerts on your cell phone?

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Have you?

Speaker 15 (21:21):
I don't actually get any in all reception. I didn't
even find out about the window this until they follow
called up earlier from Mark LA's all called up. I'm
called up earlier than before, and I was called up
to be like, yo, what is this wind is part?
I don't think there's Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Well apparently it all tomorrow kicks on. I don't know when,
but it'll be on your Google maps, but do something. Yeah, yeah,
don't take it from me. It's not going to be happy.
It's not going to happen because I think it will
underd Thanks so much for that. Keep those texts and
calls coming through. Nine to nine two text and call
eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty. It is literally the
calm before the storm. But I think water is going

(21:55):
to be the big thing of this power cats. People
need water now because they don't have that. It's all automated.
If there were a tower, they need a pump. They
need power to pump the pump.

Speaker 16 (22:04):
Eleven.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
It will be a great day to go surfcasting will
be a good distance with the gear. Olfonzo's advice is
about running on Winnington's south coast. Has just counted all advice.
The gale would blow people into traffic. Yeah, no, I
think I don't. I did over there. I mean people
will be people. And he thought it was funny and
brave and look, sometimes we go for runs in the

(22:26):
rain and it is invigorating. There should be a sweepstake.
And how many times they close the Harbor bridge in
twenty four hours to I don't think it's getting as
far north as Auckland. I think it's I shouldn't say
that because I'm not meteorologists. Both from understanding, it's Wellington
and Canterbury that's really affected, so I didn't think it
was heading north. Do you go look at windy dot com.

(22:47):
He's your classic text getting a bit tired of the
lower North Islands and South Islands complain about the weather.
They get over it. Guys, we have bad wear in
the North often and don't complain. I don't know what
that mentality is. It's interesting mentality. How would you call that? Says? Okay?

Speaker 10 (23:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Is it a humble brag? Marcus winds service and cut
service will absolutely be going off at Plummein and Beech
tomorrow will be busy and lively. So this is some
interesting response they're getting Touch eight hundred and eighty ten
eight nine text. Do come through you to that or
anything else? But we are previewing the weather tomorrow, the

(23:26):
calm before the storm. By the way, I thought this
was interesting. The guy that won the best butcher there
was the best Sausage award yesterday, yep, and he's done
something called a beef parmesan and truffle sausage, which sounds good,

(23:46):
But what he is saying is, hey, you should eat
it best cooked on the barbecue or pan fry. Don't
cook them too hot, as the skins may split, and
don't be tempted to prick them because you'll lose a
bit of flavor. He says. The main thing has never
cooked them in the oven. I quite like an oven
cook sausage. And when it came to tomato sauces, he'd

(24:06):
wash your mouth out. A piece of white bread or
a roll is the best accompaniment. So there we go.
It's no source for him. I think sometimes you just
use the sausage as a vehicle to eat a lot
of tomato sauce. I'm not quite sure where he is
going with that, but there we go. That's the sausage
Awards for you, and that's happening. Get in touch with

(24:27):
talking about the winds. Also tomorrow unprecedented, as strong and
a reckon. It could be as strong as the Big
Blow which in Canterbury fifty years ago on August one.
Now I've spoken a lot of survivors of the Big
I don't anyone was killed in the Big Blow. Don't
quote me on that, but I didn't speak to someone
whose tunnel houses were all ruined. Someone says that guy

(24:49):
might want to pack up for the next twenty four hours.
The last thing we wanted people putting their lives on
the line to perform a rescue. I think that's the mentality.
But back at if you want to talk eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty, A lot going on about this,
and yes, and of course too with situations like this,
it might not be so bad, but the chances are
at Wilby. I certainly don't think it's been overhyped. When

(25:12):
you look at windy dot com, it looks like it's
going to be quite something. It's a red warning for
winds across Canterbury and Wellington on Thursday, So there we go.
That's a situation. A state of emergency has also been
declared in Canterbury, so Wellington buses and boats canceled and

(25:34):
trained and Canterbury. While they're saying don't go, don't leave
home as it's necessary, don't go to university, don't go
to the parks, I think they are closing parks. They
always say avoid non essential travel. I'm not ever quite
sure what's essentially what's non essential? But yeah, Vick University
is closed tomorrow. Also don't quite know what that's about.

(25:57):
And in Wellington swimming Pool's libraries, rec centers and community
centers will close. So I've never seen a reaction. And
I don't know if this is because we've become the
comms are better, or this is quite a such a
serious situation. Anyway, your thoughts and also what the situations
were the fires you've got locally twenty two to nine
good on the locals two and a Hunterville that bought

(26:17):
the arguy a hotel. It was lying empty for two years.
They thought, lad to buy it. Beautiful looking building. There
we go, so it's back got life again. They bought it.
Locals bought it. I don't know how big your catchment
would be. Incountable for the local pub. Fifty families came
on on borders investors two sixty grand to buy it

(26:41):
half a five hundred half a mil to renovate. It
looks beautiful, so you don't know what the income streams
looking like. That's got a garden bar. Who doesn't have
a garden bar. It's also got three retail spaces, the headdresses,
a clothing store and a gift and bookshop plus a
kit looks ideal and see what A hundred is one

(27:01):
of those towns that kind of I don't know much
about because it's one of those towns that there's a
lot of them in that part of the country. You
never quite know which is which. I'm saying probably not,
so I've always got a Google to see exactly where
it is an orangue ticket. It's between Oh, that's where
it is, State Highway one, so you come down through

(27:22):
tay Happy Mungowka and then Hunterville is probably the next
big one after Vinegar Hill. I'd say population looking at
on Google Maps, four hundred would be my pick on
that one. But yeah, it'd be a good pub. Well
if fifty families are involved and they're spending their money there,
that you couldn't complain about that. That's what you need.
You got your catchment. Looks like it might have a
race course too. That might be a running track anyway,

(27:44):
line's free. You're talking about the weather again, because it's
gonna head on tomorrow. I was worried about that White
Bay of having not heard the warnings. That worries me.
It's gonna be as big as the big blow. Marcus
Riversdale is still without power, question Mark, I wonder how
your caller from last night is getting on. Yeah, me too,
Chris was her name, and she'll be dry by now

(28:07):
with no water. Yeah right. We don't hear a lot
about the weather and the far North. We didn't hear
for months about when your pylon was down. Same deficate, Yeah,
fear call. Wow wow wow about the pylon? Remember that
if I was surprised that people just don't bolted it.

(28:35):
Never prick your sausages rule one oh one? What's your
golden rule for sausages? I quite like them cooked on
the oven. I think that. I think there's something more
wholesome about them in the oven. Wow wow wow, Yeah,
what about the pylon? I love it when there's regional
battles about who's complaining most about the weather. I love yeah,

(28:58):
I love I love that. Oh yeah, we don't go
on about it. Brilliant. Oh eighty taty seventeen to nine.
By the way, fire's broken out at Cordy's, the hotel
up Auckland top of Simon Streets. So yeah, there's a
number of fire appliance. Is there no report so far

(29:20):
of anyone being injured. That's the well, I said, that's Cordy's.
Dan said, that's the old Lingam. I said, that's the
old Sheraton. I think it's been about for It might
have been a Pan Pacific as well. Was it the
Pan Pacific? Someone could tell us the song line of
that one, But originally was the Sheratan?

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. That's where the fire is.
Doesn't rain at pause? Dan, it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 10 (29:40):
Yes, it's not on your current topic. I'm just you know,
have chocolate's going up a lot of recently. Yes, how
much you've how much do you think is too much
for a bar of chocolate? Because I've just been to
a New World and I've got one hundred grand bar
of chocolate and would you believe that it's twenty five dollars?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Wow?

Speaker 10 (29:58):
Stew Bay chocolate. I don't know what's so special about it.
I look, yeah, I don't have to justify that twenty
four ninety high. Didn't they k credible?

Speaker 2 (30:06):
I think do buy chocolate right? Has become famous as
a symbol of internet hype. It's not that good.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
No, I'm saying it's no different than you, but the price.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's got like a pistachio kind of pulp in the middle.
Have you tried it?

Speaker 10 (30:23):
No, But I mean, I don't think peop would pay
twenty five dollars for one hundred grand bar of chocolate.
Maybe it's something specially.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well that's you well for you or the Yeah, I
mean sheep is great, and.

Speaker 10 (30:33):
You bought the normal one that laws the promoted and
that's just probably better or was just as good and
any of that price.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
But I don't think workers do I do buy chocolate.
They should. They've missed the boat on that one.

Speaker 10 (30:46):
Okay, you know, I just saw it there and I
saw twenty five dollars people race.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Yeah, did you take did you take a photo of it?

Speaker 9 (30:54):
No?

Speaker 10 (30:54):
No, I've thought ring the Communs Commission that anyone that's.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Minds you, Dean, stay in your lane. You weren't even
in the market for that chocolate, were you?

Speaker 10 (31:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
No, So why would you ring the Communs commiss No, Joey,
I'd like you to try it. They'll let me know
what it's like. Yeah, yeah, I bought a b I
bought a bar of it. I brought a bar of
d buy chocolate on an impulse purchase. I saw that
I had to have it, but then I had to

(31:26):
eat it before the kids and my partners, so I
just sort of inhaled it and didn't really have time
to savor it. So yeah, the whole experience was ruined
for me through my greed.

Speaker 10 (31:36):
Oh because I reckon. There's some places out of the
and it was England or something that got these bars
and they're not calling them chocolate bars anymore because what
they've done, they just like they've taken all the cocoa
basically out of them pretty much.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, I think coco I think, I.

Speaker 10 (31:52):
Think, I think, but they're not actually a bar because
they're removed all the cocoa content pretty much.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Because I think, I think cocoa and coffee and olive
oil have all been really barely affected by climate change
and their prices through the roof.

Speaker 10 (32:11):
Yeah, okay, all good.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
All good. I bore them with climate change A twelveth
of nine sausages grilled on the oven as the way
to go, keep tuning them up until even coloring lovely
with a twenty five dollar bar of chocolate. Wow, what
do you want? Try that?

Speaker 8 (32:25):
Do?

Speaker 2 (32:25):
By chocolate? What do you think I have no TV
reception and Rickett and christ to others having this problem,
Thank you Benice. You one now's having a problem with
their TV. Ricketon, oh god, we're not back on the skydshare.
We fry to color and barbecue plate or grill them
place on warmer rack book rooms. Are there any secondhand

(32:48):
bookshops still open anywhere in New Zealand. It's a really
good question. I think it's one underneed and still Oh
I think it might be too Indonneeda and second hand
book shops. It's a good question. There's quite interesting one
on Lawrence I recently purchase from. I'm trying I think
where other second hand book shops are. I'm sure christ

(33:10):
Church got them as well. Marcus. I've just gone from
christ Church to Aukland to christ Church free. Unremarkable flight
given what we thought would be a whole lot worse.
It was noted that Mark Mitchell and the Civil Defense
cronies were also on the flight, so I guess they're
getting prepared for whatever may may not happen. I think
they're opening up the bunker to the bunker. I think

(33:32):
they're opening up the bunker. Although I see Mark Mitchell's
weighing about the Sports Minister. I think weighed in about
the Nebule situation, which I thought was good. I mean
William Jackson mentioned at first. I think that's shows some
leadership because people don't know what's going on upsets them. Marcus, heady,
head us to charge your phone up while you have power.

(33:53):
It's a good point, Marcus. I live in Wile and
the windows just had to pick up in the clouds
are looking darker than normal. That might be the night.
By the way, speaking of the weather, there was someone
in it or madam that has found out there photographing
and they've found red lightning and red lightning goes upwards

(34:17):
yep to thing. And we are talking bookshops, second hand
book shops as well. Stay in you, Laine. That's why
I listen Marcus straight shooter with the common sense. Well,
why would someone go and see above of chocolate not
wanting to buy and think about wringing the commerce commission. Well,
I'll tell you what. In this life, that's one of
my one But I'm not I've got something to say
about advice because it's my advice is to avoid people

(34:43):
that give advice, but other people that give advice to
trying to draw attention away from their own shambles. They're
living themselves. But if I had one bit of advice,
it would be not to listen to people that give
advice or don't get involved. Don't go looking for things
to get agitated about. Stay in your lane, don't go

(35:07):
searching for a fight. I think it's going to write
to the Comments Commission. They're not going to reply. He's
not gonna be happy with the response. But really, in
the scheme of things, if someone wants to pay twenty
five dollars for one hundred grand bar of Dubai chocolate,
that's their journey. They might have won Loto twenty five million. Today,
Mark's we have the most wonderful second hand book shop

(35:28):
in the main street of Picton, great service, well priced
and a huge range. Good secondhand bookshop each where christ
Church Marcus Artib's books and went into and you can
search in by online. Sampson has a great secondhand bookshop
to die for. There we go. That's five already. It

(35:51):
seems to be a big thing in a small town,
probably because you've got time to read. Would that be right?

Speaker 17 (35:56):
Yeh?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Would you read more in a small town because it's
less to do. Maybe maybe not. If you want to
talk we Heddle twelve mineamers Marcus good evening eight hundred
eighty ten eighty if you want to text nine two
nine too, we talk about the weather preparations, cooking sausages
in the oven and that's such a bad thing. I
suspect it is. No, I don't actually I'm in favor
of it. Also tonight we are talking about do buy chocolate?

(36:27):
Are you fraud or a ginnet? And why why is
the Oh yeah, I shouldn't say that, but yeah, poored
Wellington with the transport with everything closing down because it's
raining and windy. That's kind of that doesn't make the
sea look that robust, does it? As far as that goes.
You might want to mention too, Hitdle twelve if you
want to be a part of it. As I say, oh,

(36:48):
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nineteen nine to de text.
But yeah, it seems to be Wellington and Canterbury where
the warnings are for tomorrow and it's not looking good.
But if you want to mention that, that's what we're
about tonight, Oh eight hundred eighty Teddy and nineteen nine
to the text who's that after meet tonight Dan Beverage

(37:11):
term from twelve? What I think, Pete, this is Marcus.
Welcome you, Marcus.

Speaker 12 (37:17):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Good, Thanks Pete.

Speaker 12 (37:19):
If you got a good one here in New Plymouth.
I just looked on you. I found it's name. It's
called the Bookshop Gallery from Braham Street, just down from
the taxi Stanley and the other side of Devon Street
West there. It's really it must have been there four years.
It's one of our motor rower too. These are they
sell magazines and that stuff they've done on the name
of that one. I try to go on Google. I
couldn't find the name of that one. The one that

(37:40):
down from the taxi stands a good one though.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Do you frequent the bookshops?

Speaker 18 (37:46):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (37:46):
No, I guess sometimes they go on there. You know
you got magazines and stuff. Oh there's one thing I
want to bring up too, if you don't mind, bit
of a change the topic. But we've just had a
new change of counselors here and I think about bringing
a night parking meters here and Verry Street was never
meant and so I'm just spreading around. I think they're

(38:08):
introducing night park night.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Who'd want night parking?

Speaker 12 (38:13):
Absolutely stupid the Marcus, But yes, I'm really annoyed of it.
What would be the point. There's no need. We've got
plenty of parking and New Plymouth, as you probably know anyway,
So maybe for the for the real lazy people that
want to drive into like maybe the TSB Show place
and there's something on. But there's plenty of parking and
New Plymouth and a night park and he's just no

(38:35):
need for alls. Drop that topic, Council and New Plymouth please.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, I don't know what to say about night parking.
I do like your Trojan horse, though, Pete. You're coming
on the you're coming on the bookshops, and then cut
to your real thing, which is the night parking. It
sounds it sounds more suspicious than it is night parking,
doesn't it. I quite like that night parking.

Speaker 9 (38:57):
Now.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
You don't want night parking, Pete. The text it's a
money grab head or midnight. If you got to be
a part of an eight hundred and eighty orcans, I
wins tomorrow evening, but not as strong. Apparently that's the
information anyway. Two things, oh, by the way, three things
as our No. One One Powerball. I want to talk

(39:18):
to this hour about Dubai chocolate and about secondhand book shops,
because there's both been a tremendous text response to both.
You've got calls about those great bookshops or Dubai chocol
for those that don't know Dubai chocolate, and it's almost
become a symbol of four wing. Things go viral because
a year ago no one mentioned it, and then I
think the Cadestians or someone. I don't fully know the

(39:39):
story of Dubo chocolate, but it's just chocolate, which basically
it's almost like a layer. It's got chocolate both sides.
In the middle is like a pistacio fidgetspin, it's like
a pistacio middle to it. It's nice, But yeah, that's

(40:04):
a situation hasn't been around that long. It was invented
in twenty twenty one by a British Egyptian engineer living
in Dubai. She's pregnant and she imagined with her food
craze at craving a combination of chocolate, pistacio, tahini and Naha.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
No.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
I don't know, I've got naha right, I've I've tried it.

Speaker 10 (40:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
It's sort of with cheese with syrup. So that's the situation.
That's what do buy chocolate is. So it's not it's
not something that's been around for ages. It's a recent
thing and that's it. Yeah, and it's become so popular
that it's caused the world to have a pistacio shortage shortage. Yeah,

(40:52):
but and I think I don't know who the great
promoters of it were. It's like a social media thing.
So if you've tried that, let me know about that.
I don't know who was got to be the Biba
or somethe. But yeah, if you want to mention Du
Bay chocolate, that would be of interest. But also secondhand
book shops because it's a tremendous response from text saying

(41:15):
where there are there still still seems to be a
lot going on, a lot of second books out there.
We'll get the text before too long. It's what are
about tonight? Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine to text? What can I tell you by the texts?
Marcus High there it's pistarchiare with shedded shredded cop filo

(41:38):
mixed in it with effectively, night parking increases excess availability
creates some more even balanced for motorists. Marcus. Some great
second hand book shops in the Lower North Island Worth
checkout and even has dead souls and hard to find.
And invercat is a well stop bookshopping len Gary won
by a woman who eighties who's been doing it for years,
and book Barn and Chertsey is a book lover's dream. Marcus.

(42:02):
The Foxt and Fizz Company are shortly releasing Dubai Chocolate
made an unused building they own behind the original building
bottling Plat and Foxton. They'll be taking on the big
players such as whitzakers catering for the social media craze
for the Dubai delicacy. So there we go. If you
want to talk about Dubai chocolate, that's all on, Marcus.
Both Patni and Wellington have qualities second hand bookstores rtb's

(42:25):
bookhun and book Haven Wellington and Schrodingers in Potoni. Yeah,
there's still has this little second hand book store here
and talking over by the name of Fallen Leaves a
fitty name really since everything inside looks like it's spent
in cost decomposing. Since lud Autumn special car parks for

(42:48):
people with knighthoods. How stupid can you get Hi Marcus
kit kit cat size Dubai chocolate and three flavors front
of five dollars at New World Levin. Levin also has
the Exit Toy Books second hand bookshop, fifty six Oxford Street.
There are at least two second had book shops in
Upperhart also in surrounding towns. Well, I didn't see, but
there's seven and bookstores. But prices gamb is I forty

(43:11):
dollars for a second hand cookbook. I E. So I
can't believe we haven't talked about Dubuo chocolate yet. Well
that last person one dare they come backable? Dix? So
it comes if you want to talk actually on sausages
and Dubai chocolate and second hand book shops and the

(43:32):
wind one hundred dollars for four bars of chocolate not
the key we may way Marcus rich poor divide in action.
Don't people quite enjoy the rich being separated from their
money with ridiculously priced chocolate? That would be a good thing.
Browsers and Hamilton is a great secondhand bookshop. Also there's

(43:52):
one at Tipoy matamata. Yeah, so yes, I feel like
I need to go the thing I thought about that
the Dubai chocolate. I should have ate in the whole bar.
I think bite would have been a lot, but from
then on it they came a but sort of same
and slightly slightly unpleasant tasting.

Speaker 10 (44:12):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
I'll leave that there by the way. I've got the
netball tonight. You want to go and watch that eight
nine thirty Dan, I'll put that on the right channel,
so I've what got updates for you people? Go watch
that now? But now the channe you want to talk
about Dubai chocolate. I thought it might have been some
ancient thing, but it's a recent thing. It's only invented
in the last four years. Not many new foods just

(44:35):
invent today when there's the cronut, But who really wants
deep fried croissant if that's what it is? Just getting
the channel right to give you the netwell updates? Yeah, Chayanne,

from Miche and thank you. Fifteen past nine. How can
you tell if someone is living large at the supermarket?
You see that with milk, eggs, butter and Dubai chocolate.
Oh you should do a skit that's quite good. Marcus
Pekins say fun and a Dubai chocolate for four dollars ninety.

(46:45):
Our local dairy has a six fifty, very expensive, but
g it's nice. I would imagine there's a lot of
counterfeit stuff around. I imagine there was so much virality
for it. People were probably just trying to make all
sorts of stuff and try and flog it. I suspect
the stuff I brought from the dairy wasn't the good stuff.
It was nine dollars, and I regretted it. Actually I

(47:10):
had chocolate remorse well more so. I ate it so
quickly I was. I was embarrassed because I the hypet
I saw it, and before you knew, I had it
in my hand and was eating it. Not proud of that,
not the slightest but proud. Sixteen past nine. If you
want to talk HITTI twelve netball's about to start to

(47:30):
keep you updated with that. We won't win. I've got
a text from an email from friends Joseph. The Tasmin
sea is roaring like an angry beast that's about to pounce.
If you look at Windy dot com, which is sure
that's the website for wind can't believe they've got such
a simple UURL when he says Windy dot com. If

(47:54):
you look at Windy dot com. Oh yeah, she's coming in.
She's curling around the bottom of the South Island. But
soon it's going to move up. Yep, the Povo, the
cock Strait's going to cop it. The Paovo Strait's going
to cop it. That's nine o'clock tomorrow morning. It seems
to be banging the south, banging Mason's Bay on Stuart

(48:16):
Island and roaring through Favos straight. We're going to twelve
pm tomorrow. She's all over Banks Peninsula, North Canterbury. The
Catland's in the west coast and also to up the
coast from Wellington. Be warm too up there because he's
got a northerly component. I think that's what you say.

(48:37):
Seventeen past ninety. Soon it's nineteen past nine. Matters, Marcus, Welcome,
good evening, Good evening.

Speaker 8 (48:45):
I was just going to talk about chocolate, and but
first we seid windy winding. It's one of those cool
words that means more than one day. It could actually
refer to driving, yes, but another way I thought of
there's like resign or resign you could when you could

(49:10):
start a new contract and when.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
You can So it's the same word with two different
pronunciations and the opposites.

Speaker 8 (49:19):
Yeah, but you say it's slightly different.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah, it's good. I like that or we sign.

Speaker 8 (49:25):
Yeah, I just thought that's another little play on words.
Not as common as all the woods or the stuff
like that. But yeah, I just thought of been meaning
to bring it up for a while there.

Speaker 6 (49:36):
One.

Speaker 8 (49:39):
Yeah, I wouldn't try that chocolate, but saying that my
favorite winkers are starting to become too expensive, and but
it's also making it last a lot longer when I
do buy a block, which is good. Maybe that's why
they're doing it for sugar and take Why.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Why would you not try the do buy stuff?

Speaker 12 (50:04):
I need to.

Speaker 8 (50:05):
Waver time maybe, but I think they're real skinny brock
it's like a cardboard box type one. Yeah, you get
for Christmas nineteen years ago. Yeah, it was not very nice, tasted.

Speaker 16 (50:18):
Like and.

Speaker 8 (50:21):
If a bet stumpers.

Speaker 14 (50:22):
But what was that that?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
What was that stuff called.

Speaker 8 (50:29):
That Linda one?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Oh yeah, lun it's called lunt.

Speaker 8 (50:34):
Yeah, I don't ever like that one come to me.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I reckon. That's a kind of mean spirited the lun.

Speaker 21 (50:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (50:41):
Maybe it was the bargain one at the time, but
I used to love cream eggs until they change those
that that was the best chocolate ever. But tepot out
the Fox and fis what was that about?

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Are they going to start making chocolate at the back
of the factory?

Speaker 8 (51:00):
Okay? True, yeah, because I remember used to do deliveries
the box that was gach a while and then I
had they closed down. I thought maybe they're coming back.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
But it's not like I think around. The flavors were
never great, were they.

Speaker 14 (51:19):
I like creaming soda, but I've never.

Speaker 10 (51:22):
Tried it, so that was all right.

Speaker 8 (51:24):
It's like I still remember delivering to the two Brewery
while it was still making properly that was gachl while
too memory.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
What have they done with that building now?

Speaker 8 (51:39):
I used to work there as a gardener, asked about
sixty seven years ago, and it's it's full of junk. Really,
it's been leased. Parts of its being leased out to
the businesses and they're supposed to be pulling them down.
But the main building, that the famous tower, you can't
even go in. It doesn't even have doors or stee you.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Okay, So I guess I wonder what it's quake proofing is.

Speaker 8 (52:08):
Yeah, I wouldn't know, but it looks pretty solid. But yeah,
I didn't enjoy working here for three months while it lasted.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Did you get free beer?

Speaker 3 (52:19):
No?

Speaker 21 (52:20):
I left.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
I thought they would have mett. Thank you. Twenty four
past nine, Curro Marcus. The government should just candle the storm.
They're busy cancing everything else. Ah Mario. Here, why is
the general broadcast the weather forecast plays in Canterbury not
mentioning the high winds. I've heard the forecast twice this evening.
It doesn't mention any problem. But also, how can people

(52:44):
be expected to be prepared well these days in the
modern world with you go find the information yourself. There's
strong winds, they reckon it could be as bad as
the big blow. So flip the tramp, secure loose iron,
put your bins in the garage that no one else
should do. People. Someone said it's great to your book

(53:06):
rooms still getting lost in the pages of real books
and hands. You know, I think I think probably second
hand book shops having a moment. It seems in small
towns there's plenty of spare retail space, and people in
small towns are passing through small towns off and think, well,
are going to half an hour get myself a cheesy scone.

(53:26):
Then go and browse the second hand bookshop and you'll
find a book, depending on how desperate you are for
a book, of course, if you've got nothing to read
or read anything. Just coming out the netball, the nitty
for the anthems and the Constellation Cup. It's late because
I think they played two in Australia and two in
New Zealand. So that's what's happening, and I'll keep you

(53:51):
dated with the news throughout the course of that. There
was a fire earlier on at Cordy's that's the hotel,
not the auction house, and i'll give you an update
on that when i've got it. Gone up there for
about fifteen minutes ago. Has been contained by the sprinklers.

(54:13):
No reports of anyone being injured. Amazingly about sprinkler systems
and buildings, they seem to work, don't they. It's like
earbags always thought the technology looked a bit sketchy, but
they seem to have proven their worth. It's interesting. At
twenty six past nine, Nickotts Marcus.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
Welcome, Hey Marcus, Hey, I.

Speaker 17 (54:35):
Was just phoning in to get your opinion on the
fantastic story today on the stuff web signed about the
red lightning. There was a young photographer. I'm not where's

(54:56):
o Marama.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
It's where they do all the gliding. It's between probably
you go southwest from christ Die on your way to Queenstown,
you go past Techaporn through twice or then you it
to Murmur. It's kind of a junction.

Speaker 17 (55:10):
Right right, because I used to live in christ Archer
a while ago and it was it was absolutely stunning.
I'm not too sure what you guys are talking about,
so I've just tuned in.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
We were talking about we were talking about the red
lightning because it goes up, not down. I reckon they
wouldn't have caught it with an ordinary camera. That looks
like it's done on a you've on a long exposure
or something. Have you looked at the shots?

Speaker 3 (55:35):
I have seen the shots.

Speaker 17 (55:37):
Yeah, yeah, I have seen the shots and it looks
absolutely remarkable.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
I didn't even know it was I didn't even know
it was a thing.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
Nick.

Speaker 17 (55:47):
I didn't either. I didn't either. I live in Taranaki
and there's a fair amount of lightning storms up up
here around the mountain and whatnot. But it was just
absolutely brilliant too.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
To see that.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
And we've put the picture on our Facebook page. That's
right down, isn't it the picture on our Facebook pages? Well,
if you want to go and look. Someone said the
Terry Brewery is now a fantastic attraction of Griffis has
booked in this which is right in your wheel. I
don't think it is anymore, is it? Could you still
go there, Marcus? I'd love to talk to you, but
I'm lying back having a foot mast message and food

(56:29):
quit Tyland, listening to you in the updates on the world.
You did the weather, the birds are singing, the waves
are lapping the shore, or call you on my return Terry.
By the way, I did look up the words that
have the opposite meaning words are their own opposite are
called Contronyms. Are words that have two meanings which are

(56:51):
the opposite of each other, like bolt, which means to
flee or to hold together, or to clip, which means
to fasten or to detach with shears, or which means
to cover something with fine powder or make something clean
by brushing or removing dust or fast, which means firmly

(57:17):
fixed and unmoving or able to move rapidly get the point,
or handicapped. Advantage given to equalize chances of winning, or
a disadvantage that makes equality difficult. Contronyms. Every type of
word's got a name, A how are you going? People
see it in bookshops. So some of your inspiring ones
you want to talk about? Those are the great fines

(57:37):
you've found. You might collect books. I know people are
big on books. What books do you collect? You might
collect first editions or something that'd be of interest to me.
And the weather to your preparations for the weather. It
could be as big as the big blow that happened
on the first of August nineteen seventy five, and wow,
that was a big deal. There were trees down on

(57:59):
the side of the road in Canterbury. Four years afterwards,
WHLD shelter belts were knocked over. But that's something you
could just gus tonight. And there must be someone that's
going to give a report on Dubai chocolate. I'd forgotten
to mention that because it was it has been a
big deal on the deal in the last year. I

(58:19):
think a lot of the stuff now is just cheap
knockoffs that you know, everyone's tried to flood the market.
So I don't think it's as quality as the original stuff,
but it's cheaper. I would think someone says opposite, meaning overlook,
watch or fail to notice of a good point, extremely
good point that to Contrnhym overlook, how do you go

(58:39):
with the custards? The crumpets filled with custard?

Speaker 14 (58:41):
Today?

Speaker 2 (58:43):
I'll tell you what's interesting, how much influenced TV has
on Facebook today? I throw about four people who tried
to make those pre federal towers what are they called?
And then because I had the TV on TV one
last night, they're making on Masterschef. So it's interesting because
they must really influence people. Those show what are they called?

(59:03):
Our crok and boush that might have pronounced that way wrongly,
also crocking bush French. That's the tower you have instead
of a wedding cake. You fill up all those things
a killing clease and make them into a tower and
drizzle it with spunge sugar. It's a bit of a
skyty breggy thing to make, but probably is delicious. Twenty
six or ten Kate, this is Marcus welcome, are you Marcus? Yeah,

(59:26):
got your copy receiving.

Speaker 21 (59:29):
That's good.

Speaker 19 (59:30):
Listen.

Speaker 21 (59:30):
I remember a holiday when I was in probably eight
years old or nine years old, and from Pocacular to
christ Church and we were driving along in the belly unt.
I was in the back going along from Esperson to
christ Church that long straight in the winds, and my
parents were horrified looking at everything that was distructed. And

(59:53):
of course when you see it and that you don't care,
and we were are we there yet? And looking back
my vision as it was really destructive and quite terrible,
and I feel really bad about it now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Now what would you think?

Speaker 21 (01:00:08):
Oh, you know, because what the farmer's lost and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
The farmers because I reckon tomorrow could be like that
all over again.

Speaker 21 (01:00:17):
That's what I'm thinking. And when I look back and
see the vision in my mind, it was disgusting. I mean,
these are meat high hedges that were just toppled. It
was really destructive.

Speaker 9 (01:00:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:00:35):
And I'm not how old are you cape, I'm fifty six.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Oh, so it might have been that one from fifty
years ago. It might have been the big blow.

Speaker 16 (01:00:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:00:46):
So I was really little in the belliant going to
christ check in. I still visualize and remember my parents
being horrified. And I think two years later that it
might have been the Ebitdsford disaster going to Dneda that
I swere as well. It was pretty awful to see live.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Can you remember the noise of the wind?

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
No, it happened after the event.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Good, I see, Okay, don't you that you're after the event?

Speaker 6 (01:01:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Yeah, yeah, yee yeah yeah, good on your Kate, Thanks
for that. Twenty four to ten Hndle twelve bang Boo
wouldn't find the call on the Doubo chocolate just because
I haven't mentioned it yet, and I feel bad we
haven't mentioned it months ago. Yes, it's a viral thing.
And when I say viral, it's something that sort of
took over the world and calls the pistacio shortage, which

(01:01:37):
is funny because it's nut day. Would pistachios be your
favorite nut?

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
For me?

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
It probably would be pistachios or hazel nuts like a nut,
don't mind a nut, surprise ident use hazel nuts more
in chocolate. Well, cash's actually chocolate dum which is interesting.
You would have mentioned that too. But and the wind
it's going to kick in tomorrow, so you're probably about
twelve hours. No, probably less than that now about ten

(01:02:02):
hours before she starts. No fireworks, don't light those off,
particularly if your a support of fireworks. Could have just
been people want to ban them, so be responsible for that,
otherwise will lose the rights for them. Trains, buses canceled
Wellington and trains, buses and ferries. I think it's just
the one ferry or there's the interrun and ferry, but
the one that goes east west between Eastbourne and Seatoon

(01:02:27):
and the city, so that's gon Burger. The buses and
trains have gone also because I don't want people trees
come down on wires and petter to get out of
the train in the middle of tunnels and then you've
got that's a health and safety Now at night mere
you've got people in tunnels with electricity going around. Doesn't
sound good, does it. By the way, there has been
a bus fire in Auckland, sorry a crash and a

(01:02:52):
fire an electric bus versus a car crash on Tamaki
Drive this evening. A vehicle apparently the bus is on fire.
It's all the last twenty minutes or so. If you've
got more information and let me know far emergency says
three crews and two specialized vehicles were on the scene
of a motor vehicle Extant and Parnell. So it must

(01:03:15):
be down there below Gledstone. If you've got some information
on that, let us know what's happening. Well, they'd be
bad for the etric buses if one's caught fire. People
always had kind of a didn't have much faith in
metric buses. And because they caught fire and it's happened
twenty one to ten, Nipple score nine to seven to Australia,

(01:03:39):
seven minutes left in the first quarter, nine to seven.
I don't think we'll get ahead of them this night,
I hope. So I say that hoping I'm wrong. Actually,
Ben Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Me.

Speaker 6 (01:03:54):
I'm going to paint you a funny picture. This is
all based around heavy wife, happy life bro. You know
to birthday too. It's a birthday weekend. We're off camp. Great,
we're going camping and we're going to a river now
down to Canterbury and we're going camping on the river

(01:04:16):
with a tint. It's you know, keep me do team.
One of those. I think it's a vast three sixty
of them. So yeah, I'm freaking out. But I'm not
freaking out, probably like everyone else. I'm just freaking out
with You know, my missus doesn't do the weather forecast,

(01:04:37):
and I tell her what the weather is going to
do next day, she goes, you're shallow, my dad. You know,
she's just.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Like that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
She think the wind is going to be good.

Speaker 6 (01:04:53):
She she's like, hey, we're doing this, okay, good honor?

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
Oh no, no, but is it tea?

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Is the team? Is the team to retreat to eighty?
Is it what it's called?

Speaker 6 (01:05:05):
What's a give in it? The three sixty of the
back room? Well, the bed room is probably for your backpack.
You've got kids to take me to the dogs or something.
But yeah, was it?

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
You've got kids to take as well?

Speaker 6 (01:05:20):
We're taking two and two dogs.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
I wouldn't get camping.

Speaker 15 (01:05:25):
Look for us, man, were I'm freaking out of me?

Speaker 6 (01:05:27):
I'm freaking out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
I've got some updates on the fire. But thanks, Ben,
appreciate that. Steve Marcus, sorry to keep your holding that
you've got breaking news. Have you got you an eyewitness?

Speaker 12 (01:05:38):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (01:05:38):
I was probably about the sixth car. Oh to see
the I just saw the fire ball as I.

Speaker 10 (01:05:44):
Was coming along.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Hang on fireball.

Speaker 18 (01:05:48):
Well that's what it looked like it was.

Speaker 10 (01:05:50):
It was a lot of fire. It was a lot
of fire.

Speaker 18 (01:05:52):
I was, yeah, it was, it was. It was really intense. Yeah,
so I actually I turned around and went back and
as I was heading into the city, they they were
just cutting off Tammicky driving. The police had just set
up according and on my detour home, I just I
saw about probably five or sex ambulances and more fire crews.

(01:06:15):
So yeah, it's it's really big. So I hope that
the bus wasn't on fire, but my sister I suspect
maybe it was. Sure and that that's a that's a
main bus. The Tammicky Link is the main bus that
goes out to the out to the base. So I
hope no one's injured, but there could be a chance
of that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
All of these ambulances. So did you saw the bus?

Speaker 18 (01:06:39):
No, No, I just saw the fire.

Speaker 10 (01:06:40):
I saw the fire.

Speaker 18 (01:06:42):
I only I only heard from your report that that
it was a bus. I just saw the fire. I
just saw the fire. So that's that's when I thought
i'd better ring in because that's what it is. I
didn't know what it was at first.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Yeah, that sounds unfortunately there's that the eminence is hitting there.
That might just be a precaution.

Speaker 18 (01:07:05):
Yeah, it could be a caution. But yeah, a lot
of a lot of fire trucks and ambulances.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
So seeing something on a breaking website on Twitter, it
sees motor vehicle crash, car versus bus, Tamakie drive, bus
on fire, persons trapped. Oh no, yeah, but that's but
as I say, I'm just looking for information now, So
this is yeah, you know, I'm loath to say about

(01:07:29):
things when I when I haven't got more information, but
that's fair. But that's yeah. But if this emblance is going, yeah,
I'll see if I get some more information about that, Steve.
But how far along how far long Tomackie Drive was it?

Speaker 18 (01:07:47):
It was just a sort of opposite the Mini Put
round about.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Opposite, Yes, yes, yes, absolutely before road before not road yep, okay,
So that's yeah, the Mini put and the marina there.
If anyone's got more information about that, you've anything else
with then with that is.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
Is it? Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Is it on the fence side or anything like that? Yes, okay,
Fenn says Tarmaki driving up Appy Road. That's where the
boat sheds are by the way carve bus bus on fire.
If you, Aloney's got any more information, get that that
sounds that sounds worrisome. That that doesn't sound good at all.

(01:08:33):
Now we don't know that it's electric bus?

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
Do we?

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Are we assuming that? Okay?

Speaker 10 (01:08:45):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Was it was there article in the news?

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
Is that?

Speaker 10 (01:08:46):
How we?

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Okay, we'll just say we get some more information on this,
two people. If you've got some more information yourself, let
us know. Oh wa eight hundred eighty eight. Okay, we're
sending a photogoyurnalyst there to get more information, so we
will respond to that. But if you are somewhere in
audarchy or somewhere can look across the bay from remember

(01:09:11):
it or somewhere and to let us know what they
can see, that would be of interest too. So yeah,
get in touch if you've got more information about that.
But that sounds serious. Yeah, get in touch if you
have got more information. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine. The only stuff I can see is
that report on Twitter. That's someone who says there, I
just just look at their situation video. Yeah, it seems

(01:09:39):
to be just a news aggregation story. But thanks for that, Alita.
It's Marcus, good evening, Thanks for calling and welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:09:49):
Oh I just you know the fire tropes are on
a sway.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Okay, you can hear sirens? Can you were about to
see you?

Speaker 14 (01:09:54):
I can hear it.

Speaker 16 (01:09:55):
I'm on Key Street by the port.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Okay. If you said anything else, let us know. Alita,
thanks so much for that twelve away from ten Marcus,
do you think they've overreacted? My flight is canceled tomorrow already?
Would it be like a twister in the States? I
need to prepare. I don't think they've overreacted. I think
they are predicting wins of one hundred and fifty k's
and I think they are the last.

Speaker 10 (01:10:19):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
I think the other time there are winds that strong,
perhaps in a similar situation, that's when the big blow
hit christ Church. That was the storm of the first
of August nineteen seventy five. So no, I don't think
they're overreacting. I don't know how their colmns are going.
I don't know how many people have got alerts. But

(01:10:40):
I mean it's a tough situation for them because they
talk it up big and it doesn't get that big,
then people will be less attentive next time. I think
they're every cautious about what they do say. But yeah,
everything I've said is it could be the winds could
be that strong. Yeah, the Met Service have said winds
could reach one fifty k's and a strong wind warningful

(01:11:05):
parts of the country. Warnings are the most severe. And
of course everything can change. Weather is driven by a
complicated variety of factors, so it can move, it can
go elsewhere, it cannot eventuate another system can drive it back.
But yeah, it's looking like the best predictions are that
it's going to be extremely strong winds and also the

(01:11:25):
country's very dry with the strong winds, so fires could
be a real threat and worry as well. And there's
already a number of fires they're fighting. There's ones in Calcutta,
there's ones and put on a ho there's ones in
White Tetty. So if those fires are not put out tonight,
then the wind will really amplify them and drive them.
That will be a concern. Also six away from ten Sera,

(01:11:48):
it's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:11:50):
Ah no, just say my friends right was canceled, but
they didn't cancel it. They flew around and even.

Speaker 23 (01:11:56):
For an hour from Auckland.

Speaker 13 (01:11:58):
Yeah, fer yeah, on Monday, and then they part christ
and they're on the plane for four hours.

Speaker 24 (01:12:06):
Horrible.

Speaker 23 (01:12:08):
It really was horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Because if you if you stick your radio off there too.

Speaker 23 (01:12:17):
Yeah, I'm doing that. Yeah, I just loked it off.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
Sorry, yes, right, that's fine because I think too, if
you're in a situation where you've had a false landing
and circled, you'd be quite agitated as well. You'd want
to probably get off, have a stretch, have a smoke
of that you think, have a bite to whet. You
don't want to then stuck be stuck on a plane
for four hours.

Speaker 23 (01:12:40):
She was hungry at three o'clock because she hadn't had
anything since thirty. Yeah, and they finally brought it four
o'clock round some Benana bree. But they made them sit
on the plane?

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Would they Why would they do that?

Speaker 23 (01:12:52):
Because the few people got off because I was they
were like over it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
But why would they Why would they make them stay on?

Speaker 23 (01:13:01):
Apparently it was PaperWorks and they weren't quite sure what
they were doing with them in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
The bread Out of all the things, that's not not
you'd feel like after a scary flight, you want to.

Speaker 23 (01:13:10):
Scot Why don't you get a drink, get drenk and
some food and she's like, oh if only works.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
In the air you said, like a good friend, Sarah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Is she all right?

Speaker 17 (01:13:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:13:21):
She got She left at five o'clock from Middleway Beach,
Auckland Monday morning, got home about four city Dunedan time
on Tuesday or Dunton time Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
They did they overnight them in christ Judge, No, they put.

Speaker 23 (01:13:36):
Them back to Auckland so they had to take their.

Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Own self jets.

Speaker 23 (01:13:40):
Really yeah, yeah, so apparently if you get back to
the airport of Orange and that's on you cheaper.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
Thanks for the call. Yeah, we've seen the photo. Photo
reported down to the that bus that's on fire on
Tamaki Drive. They can't get past the corner of the strand.
The police are stopping any cars from going through from there.
They're did'ing trucks go through to go on the port,
but then into section. There's people that can't go beyond there.

(01:14:09):
So something else has texted and says the fire is
under control. Lots of flashing red and blue lights Tamiky Drive.
Clothes from Napapi try to check it out from Paradise Drive,
but the drizzle makes it hazy, So thanks for that.
So yeah, so that's if you'd seen the footage, it's alarming.
I don't know if it's electric, bus it doesn't look electric.
I don't look at a fire would happen that quickly.
But that's I don't know at the stage, so I'll

(01:14:31):
hope to get some information about that. We are talking
also tonight about do By chocolate and secondhand bookshops. That's
the two other topics. And the winds tomorrow. So wind's
up to one fifty. So what I know is one
thirty is when you're trampoline lifts, so chuck twenty onto that.
It's a strong wind. It's a really strong wind, so

(01:14:54):
be aware of that. And if you've got any more
information about the situation with the fire, let us know.
I'm not getting much information at all, which is frustrating
that I can see currently. But there's been a lot
going on tonight. There's been a fire at the Sheraton
Hotel it's now called Cardy's in Auckland. Like I'm seeing

(01:15:16):
some more images now of the fire. I've just got
to try and enlarge that. A lot of fire and
there's one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, fire
trucks and there's a large number of firemen gathered around once.
But I can't really see where the bus is. It's dark, obviously,
it's hard to make out what's happening in that image. Yeah,

(01:15:41):
we're at the left hand side at the Okay, so
I can see a car on an England, I can
see a bus. Is that the bus outline? I can see? Yeah, okay,
and the bus does look really charred, looks like the
whole thing has burnt. What a conditions like it?

Speaker 9 (01:16:00):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
Wit in Auckland Roads looks like it's been drizzle all day.
So yeah, that's such situation. So we're waiting for some
and fiends have not said anything else then, okay, okay.
I dated people eight and nine the text if you
want to come through Marcus till midnight, Laurie, good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:16:19):
Hi that Marcus. I think somebody mentioned that bookshop at Sandson,
but it's it's they call it. It's called the Ministry
of Books and it's right on the corner of Highway one.
We turn left at Sandson and where Highway three comes
in and joins from PARMI Yeah, very very large collection there. Well,

(01:16:39):
run the lady very helpful. If you can't find what
you want there, she will dive into a computer or
find fighter somewhere else. But another one that's very special
is in Woodville. And while we're looking up, it's called
the vikings Hall. Quite a colorful character that operates it
in a lot of Viking material around there. It's on

(01:17:01):
display a guy Evan Netras. I think he missed out
on getting on the council this year. I think he
would have even stood from here, but of Taru District.
But yeah, and the good thing about it that one's
right by the right by the public toilets there what
they call Fontaine Square Aaron Woodville.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
But when you say Viking, when you say Viking stuff,
not real Viking stuff, I think so some of it
is here, okay, interesting in that I haven't seen much Viking.

Speaker 16 (01:17:32):
He's got an online presence here. It's called the vikings
Hall h a U L basically but very tempted today
when the second hand books, I follow the old barking
mad books, and there's one offer there to day. They
normally sell mostly mountaineering or Arctic and tactic books. That

(01:17:54):
there was one that was a book called the West
Coast gold rushers chet Philip Ross Mayroe back in the
early nineteen sixties. It's sort of the bible of the
of the on the West Coast of all following or
or what happened in the gold mining days. Very hard
to come by. He was there for one hundred bucks.

(01:18:16):
It's in a good condition.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
What bookshops that.

Speaker 16 (01:18:22):
It's it's called back It's an online one.

Speaker 10 (01:18:24):
It's called I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Is it a New Zealand online bookshop?

Speaker 16 (01:18:28):
Yeah, turned by Colin Monteith, who's a you know, very.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Yes, he's he's an Antarctic mass.

Speaker 10 (01:18:34):
Is that right?

Speaker 16 (01:18:36):
More than that yet, but he's a.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, not kindly.

Speaker 16 (01:18:43):
Well, he used to run hit Shokhouse as well, I think,
I think, which is still another thing. He did a
lot of calendars and all that sort of stuff to you.
But yeah, he's very much an authority on metas Antarctic.

Speaker 10 (01:18:54):
And yeah, and and what's the what's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
The name of it again?

Speaker 16 (01:18:59):
Everyone, it's it's called the West Coast goul Rushes.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
The name of the bookshop, the online one on online
book Okay, good stuff, Laurie, thanks so much. Hey, just
I've got more information about that. The bus incident too.
Emergency services are currently attendants to a motor vehicle crash
on Parnell's Tamaki Drive. Stuff understands a bus was involved
in the incident. Hata Honey Saint John have confirmed there
at the scene and responded just after nine pm with

(01:19:24):
three ambulances. Two patients have been transported to Auckland City Hospital,
one in a serious condition and another in a moderate condition.
The police have been approached for comment and they've got
a much clearer image and you can see the fire
the bus that doesn't look as bad as in the
other photo that they've litten it up in some ways.

(01:19:45):
But that's a situation. So two patients transport to Auckland
City Hospital, one in a serious condition and the other
in the moderate condition. That's a situation there, that's on
Tamaki Drive. That's the bus crash there. The netball thirty
twenty eight so New Zeadand's done well. We're behind by
two so it's quite a close match. Hopefully that'll become

(01:20:05):
even close. Hopefully we'll draw and pull ahead. And that's
a situation I've got. So we're talking Dubai chocolate and bookshops,
super do be great second hand bookshop in l Waka.
Ministry of Books is a gold mine. Wid it up
is full of second hand bookstores. Marcus. For the chocolate topic,
I think Pottawa should have a giant peanut slab statue

(01:20:28):
at the entrance fire transmission gully. A great success story
for Pottader. I don't really know the history of the
peanut slab. The rain has started in Hoker ticker. We
are bracing ourselves. Oh, this is interesting view from Devonport.
The fireball was intense and high. Fire looks like it's out,
but lots of appliances in attendance. Marcus. The bus is

(01:20:51):
along Tamaque driver all mainly electric. Probably the Tamiki link
lanes are narrow, so easy for accidents to occur. Cheers, Dan,
peanut slab was Whittaker's big break. Are you more of
an arm and gold kind of guy? You know you
had a good up bring if you've got an alm
and gold. Our great secondhand bookshop with Uamudu heritage good
Slightly foxed. Someone also says, here's a question for Dan's

(01:21:17):
Christmas quiz. What's the oldest airport in New Zealand and
where is the oldest airport in the world. Since when
has Tamaki Drive been? And Parnell confused of South Island.
It starts in Parnell, it goes from the city through Parnell,
then to all Ak, then around two m Okahu Bai

(01:21:37):
and yeah, no, so it does go through Parnell. That
the edge of that is Parnell, I would say, but yeah,
it's not split the anem And someone also has said
to which is completely true. Wanderlust Books in Alexandra highly recommend.
It's a fantastic bookshop. Is a good vidue of the
guy that runs it to tremendous dock, tremendous books. He's

(01:21:58):
a real passionate guy. It probably is the country's best
secondhand bookshop. Spent many a day in there. It's extremely good. Yeah,
so there are still good secondhand books. And I think
I don't know if you make any money because I
don't know where the money is in books. I don't

(01:22:21):
know what the markups or the margins are like. And
I guess you've got a lot of stock that sits
there for a long time. But yeah, a well run
second hand bookshop is a very good thing. Anyway, do
get in touching on Talk Monuments. Marcus, welcome. We're talking
about second hand books and Dubai chocolate and the weather
tomorrow and peanut slabs and not quite Yeah, I kind
of forgot that had a slightly more humble upbringing. They

(01:22:44):
sort of started with kvars and peanuts slabs where they've
gotten that SI sheet chocolate. But I don't really know
the history of it or Whittakers someone might. All the
lines are available to come through, and if you want
to talk about this or anything else, do come through
a peanut slab nineteen fifties apparently, so it's been around
a while. It's been around seventy five years, that's according

(01:23:05):
to their webs and why would they lie, So it's
been around since the nineteen hundreds. But the peanuts lab
they moved to Wellington nineteen eleven, and the peanuts there
was the nineteen fifties. The recipe has never changed good
on them. So yeah, I think you probably write a
giant peanuts there would be a great thing for potidor.

(01:23:26):
I thought the fact, and I guess that's where the
factory is anyway, Marcus, the Courdies used to be the
Langham Hotel. Stayed there last couple of nights, and yeah,
I think the Cordies was the Lagan, but before it
was the Langum. I think it was the Sheraton. I
think it was originally the Sheratan in like the late eighties.

(01:23:47):
I don't know if it's had another incantation, if that's
the right word. But Motel's hotels seem to, don't They
different groups by them out? I mean Sheraton was the
height of luxury in its day, but now, goodness, anything
goes and one fifty k wins tomorrow. Remember that and
do talk if you want to come through anyway? What
else I tell you? I've got an email here, but

(01:24:08):
I'll minimized it so I can't read it. Oh, yes, Marcus,
I would like to know if other purchases of eggs
at soupermarkets have noticed the same. I have brought Farmer
brown eggs for years, size seven. I've always opened the carpet,
can't test. The eggs are sound and none cracked at home.

(01:24:29):
I then put them in an egg containing on the
fridge door and they would almost touch each other on
the rack. Now and the car and size seven the
eggs have more space to move around. When I checked
the sea. They are sound look smaller and at home
and a contained on the fridge door, there is more
space with the eggs. Is they really are a smaller
size than the seven in the past the netweight of

(01:24:49):
size six large eggs size seven is quote as three
seventy two grams onfortune. I never thought to look in
the path to see what the weight size six eggs
as I believe they have changed the sizing of these eggs.
I size seven is really now size six, and probably
size eight is now size seven. Have other listens come
out across this irregularity. I also question whether the Commerce

(01:25:10):
Commission should have something to say about this. So eggs
are getting smaller, that's a question for you. Anyone else
noticed that, get in touch please. Twenty three past ten, Oh,
there we go. That's different. The four helicopters were near

(01:25:31):
Alexandra at nine point thirty four pm and flight trekkers
showed two heading to Queenstown from Dunedin and two to
the Needen from Queenstown. Maybe just be hospital transfers, but
it's unusual activity. The mission log may shed light on
it in a few hours. You say, hey, look at
the mission log. There's nothing there at the moment that

(01:25:51):
says six to twenty two hospital transfer Clyde. I thought
that update them, but more if anyone knows there's any
news in Queenstown, any exits or anything that would be
of interest to us, or get in touch please Marcus
about the bus exit, firstly, hope the injured recovered. Doesn't

(01:26:12):
sound like an EVY bus fire, but I haven't seen photos.
Reason ev battery seals were damaged from impact. My accents
would release thermal runway and burn for hours and hours,
very hard to put out and normally excrete large plumes
of black toss toxic smoke, quite confusing. What has caused
a sad event? Yeah? I agree, so you do come

(01:26:34):
through if you want to talk. By the way, the
netball score, there's a lot on thirty seven to thirty
one to Australia. They are getting ahead again. This is
very much as similar screwing pattern to the last equal
to halftime. Then they ran away in the third quarter.
If my memory is right, Marcus, the bookshop capital of
Uzil has to be Featherston and the white Lapa regards
Judith forty thirty three. The current score the netball at

(01:26:58):
the stage seven minutes left in the third court. Of
course there's four to go, so there's four altogether too,
so not quite three quarters of the way through that match.
Through that match, and all the lines are free for
you want to talk on each side. I realized lot
of you be watching the netball. Good on you for
doing that. There's something else you want to mention. Feel
free to come through. There's now more information coming out
about that bus crash. Hatahani has responded with three emulences,

(01:27:22):
one first response, one rapid response, and one operations manager
assessing one patient serious condition, one in a moderate condition.
Reports on social media say the exit involved a bus
and a car. Someone wrote on Reddit, there seems to
be moments of incredible flashes, like if I could imagine
a shed full of fireworks going up. Another persons, I've

(01:27:45):
never heard this many sirens blearing, almost undisrupted. Probably ever,
it looks horrific from my place. So there's more information
to come. But the fire is extinguished, appears to be.
But yes, it was a It was a massive amount
of flame, very bright flame, very intense flame, with not

(01:28:05):
so much smoke. But obviously you can't see that in
the dark. Twenty eight past ten, If you've got more
information about that. Do letter stuf if you did see that,
but someone said they were driving around they couldn't get
through this saw a fireball, And once I saw that shot,
I believe that even a fireball was seen from Devonport,
which would be two k's away, maybe even more. It
should get on Google Maps to measure that one I can't.

(01:28:26):
I we're talking second hand book shops too, And also
do buy chocolate. Australia head by nine a repeat of
the last match. They've really kind of level pegging first
half and running away with it now. I don't think
we've got any fight back. And I don't know if
it's fitness or quite what it is, maybe coaching or
lack of coaching. Oh yeah, I don't know. I don't

(01:28:48):
fully know actually how Oh by the way, someone to
know about where the eggs are getting smaller. It's not
something I worry about as eggs, the size of them.
I tell you, I had some pretty skanky eggs. Oh
that's not the right word. Sorry about that. I had
some pretty weirdy eggs.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
Lately.

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
I had one with a very very pale yoke. I
hate it, but wish I hadn't very pale yoke, almost
the same color as the album. And but what's going
on here? It felt like it was an egg at
the end. It was a chuck at the end of
its laying career. I don't know where they'd come from.
They might have come they might have come from some farm,
some from I don't know really where we saw sell

(01:29:25):
our eggs, because sometimes when you buy eggs at farm,
gates are and kind of official looking egg containers that
people are reusing. So yeah, I don't want to actually
malign anyone, but it wasn't a good egg, but like
it's dyed had been restricted the hens. Hello, Rob, this
is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 25 (01:29:44):
Hey yang Hey, yang Hey.

Speaker 10 (01:29:46):
Look.

Speaker 25 (01:29:47):
Just just getting into the second hand bookstore. And I
don't get to Devenport very often, but if I do,
always head into Hayward's by a lotto to be fair. Ah,
but Hayward's it's not paper plus, but it's it's like
Hayward's paper stuff and create second hand bookstore and I
buy books and then they sit now books book bookshelf

(01:30:09):
at home, and I don't really open them, to be fair,
but I certainly get excited when I'm there.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
Oh, it's just in the sense the sense of discovery
is greatest second hand bookshop. It's fantastic.

Speaker 12 (01:30:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:30:22):
Yeah, you just want to read them from front to
back and look at them all the time. But I
don't get around to it, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:30:27):
But if you don't good enough time, no, no, I
think a lot of people actually the act of buying
the books is almost a bit like reading the Hayward's
Paper Power. It's called.

Speaker 3 (01:30:42):
That paper Power.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Yeah, it's weird, isn't it. I'm looking at it now
and Devenport Hayward's Paper Power.

Speaker 25 (01:30:47):
I feel like I haven't been live forever, but I
feel like it's been there forever.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Looks like it says on the front egg cartridges, magazines, books,
Kid's Birthday, give stationary everyday cards. That's a pretty old
school kind of thing to sell it, and it hats
out the front.

Speaker 25 (01:31:02):
Yeah, and it's great a lot it's not. I've never
been successful with a lot of it from me, to
be honest. But he's got a good book.

Speaker 2 (01:31:10):
Have you got any particular thing that you collect.

Speaker 25 (01:31:14):
A people? Oh yeah, autobiography?

Speaker 6 (01:31:18):
Yeah great?

Speaker 25 (01:31:22):
And then obviously you know, kind of landscape is stuff,
whether it's whether it's of a region, tells you a
story of it and everything looks great, and it's in
a book. To be honest, I don't they don't show
you that the murky overcast day to good point.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
It's a curator. It's a curator a well curated world
and a book, isn't it.

Speaker 25 (01:31:43):
Yeah, Yeah, they're great people there anyway. So I reckon,
if you've got a chance, you just go to Dimonport anyway,
because it's a good it's a beautiful, beautiful part of
a company and you're going to, hey, we're still look after.

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
Nice cool thanks. Roll twenty six away from eleven just
to confirm with that bus extant to someone seriously injured,
someone who's moderate injuries.

Speaker 14 (01:32:02):
That was a.

Speaker 2 (01:32:05):
Every spectacular happen there head about an hour ago to
on Tamaki drive car versus bus and a lot of
talk to about the weather tomorrow. So they've got a
lot of articles about how to prepare for Thursday's destructive winds.

(01:32:25):
But yeah, if a tramp lifts at one thirty one
fifty is the next step one fifties the shed going.
It says first to use brackets or straps to secure
a tall and heavy furniture into wall studs, and they
don't know if you need to do that, do you.
I don't know if you'd have to do things inside,
tie down the trampoline, bring outdoor furniture, and best to

(01:32:47):
do that tonight. That's the advice. If you're able to
work from home, the recommending you do that and avoid
unnecessary travel from this evening.

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
And the story with trampolines, Yeah, from an purely are
at a navit point of view, these things are a wing.
According to Canvy University in Macandela engineering professor doctor Keith Alexander,
so not good. If a trampline was standing flat in

(01:33:21):
the wind, was horizontal and nothing would happen. But if
it tilted at all, then it has an angle of attack.
It'll want to fly nets around the trampline add to
the problem. Even though most of the ear went through
the holes, a net was still a bit of a
sailing could be enough to allow trampline to tilt. Once
that happened, the wind was able to hit the mat,
which typically was only about twelve percent holes. If the

(01:33:44):
flat air ended up being at the right angle to
the wind, they will make it fly. That's how a
wing works. I don't think that. It doesn't say how.
Apparently there's a trampoline in the United States that went
two kilometers yep. So that's a situation, and not of
the article compares it to hang gliders. Trampling had a

(01:34:06):
nest around it should be taken down if it's windy.
Should children should be on the trampoline. One thing that's
seensible if you could rope it to something. If there's
a tree, you could put a rope around it. That
might be a good thing to do. But you just
tip them upside down, won't you? Says kits are available.
You could peg to try to anchor trampolines to the ground,

(01:34:27):
but they're affectedness could vary depending on the type of
ground and how well they're put in place.

Speaker 10 (01:34:31):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
We had the screws, but our soils quite sandy, didn't
hold down that well. You can have sand bags of
the legs of trampoline to high and hold them down,
but they won't work to expose places that the situation there,
I'd flip them up side down. It doesn't means you
that twenty two to eleven Marcus till twelve. The netbul
fifty one thirty seven worse than last time. We're behind

(01:34:53):
by fourteen. We're not coming back. That's my that's my
assessment of that one. It's a coaching crisis. And sold
a strawing for the players and sold a stronger interim coach. Marcus.
We often get eggs so large they won't fit in

(01:35:13):
a cart, and it seems to me they're getting bigger
rather than smaller. Have only had two hens hens throughout
two years, though hopefully someone with more experiential comment. Egg
sizes are size four pollet up to forty three gram
Size five medium to fifty two grams, Size six out
of a sixty one gram, Size seven, large to sixty
seven grams, Size eight jumbo over sixty eight grams. Marcus.

(01:35:38):
I sent your picture my triple yoakre a few weeks ago.
All our eggs have some amazing dark yellow orange yolks.
There's in the photo. I sell my eggs at the
community stall at the Farmer's Market in Vicago and at
my gate one eight four Karna Street with Toda besides
the community gardens. Oh, that's right on the old coach road. Hello, Daryl,
this is Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:35:58):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 26 (01:36:00):
How are you this evening?

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
Good?

Speaker 26 (01:36:01):
Thank you dar Laying in bed here listening to the
US about the bus and the car in Auckland. And
I'm one of those old quadges that have been around
a day or two. And I was a volunteer firefighter
in nineteen seventy five on the first of August, and
I know what the wind. I know what the wind

(01:36:22):
can do. Now what I really wanted to talk to
you about those everybody's telling us.

Speaker 6 (01:36:27):
To get ready for the weather tomorrow.

Speaker 26 (01:36:30):
Now, you know you talked about flying trampolines and all
that sort of thing. Now for us people down here
in Canterbury, if we get that strong wind and somebody
gets hit with flying glass or a trampoline or a
sheet of corrugated iron and they get admitted to hospital,
who's going to look after us.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
Are because of the strikes?

Speaker 17 (01:36:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:36:50):
Good point.

Speaker 26 (01:36:53):
The other thing is that there's an emergency that being
declared in Canterbury. And I wouldn't be at all surprised
if the Ministry of Civil Defense or you know, the
Ministry of Emergency and they call themselves there haven't got
the power to actually order the doctors and the nurses
back to the hospital so that there's somebody to look

(01:37:14):
after people if they do get injured tomorrow.

Speaker 23 (01:37:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:16):
I wouldn't be surprised Dad either, Daryl.

Speaker 26 (01:37:19):
Because I think the whole thing just nonsense. You know,
this sort go on strike. But I mean if people
are injured with the weather tomorrow, there might be some questions.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
So I think yeah, and I think they have activated
the bunkers. They probably have got those powers, I would think,
but I don't know how those powers work. And that's
probably a delicate time of negotiations. I think they were
meeting tonight for through the negotiations to try and kind
of get something rounded out. But it take us to
the eleventh hour, you know, with the situation with the
big blow in nineteen seventy five, can you remember if

(01:37:51):
that was expected?

Speaker 26 (01:37:55):
Uh No, not really, all the blue blue all day
the day before, okayesting there was some damage and I
know I was a volunteer firefighter in those days, and
our first call I think was about quarter to two
in the morning or something.

Speaker 2 (01:38:11):
Now, tell me where you were so I can visualize
you in bed with the siren going off.

Speaker 16 (01:38:17):
Where I was?

Speaker 10 (01:38:18):
What town?

Speaker 26 (01:38:20):
Oh, Ashburton?

Speaker 2 (01:38:21):
Okay, wonderful burden right in.

Speaker 26 (01:38:23):
The middle of it, right in the middle of it.
And we in those days, we had house bells, so
they were run through, you know, the telephone network. And
my house bell went accord to two in the morning,
acord to two in the morning, and they sent one
truck away, and so I wanted back home to bed again.
And I said to my wife, I said, this is

(01:38:44):
not good the way it's blowing out there. Now, I'm
going back to the station. Well, I only just got
there and the bells went down again and we were
shipped away out of the rural area. And we're in
a V eight, one of the open aired V eight
Ford V eight fire engines. Two was laying in the
in the foot well in the on the back of

(01:39:05):
the thing, and the obviously in the drive in the front.
And I recall the officer telling to telling the driver
to slow down. He said, I'm flat out now in
the third year. He said, I'm only doing thirty mile there.
But it wasn't the speed we were doing. It was
the speed that wind was coming past us at.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
Wow.

Speaker 26 (01:39:24):
Now when we got to the job, fire everywhere around
the house, but only sparks as No, it was blunt,
too hard for fire to actually flare, trees crashing down
the yard, around the around the rural property. I crawled
across the lawn the front lawn, grabbed hot of a strainer,
posted a gateway and hung on to that, and then

(01:39:45):
I could see out of the paddock there was a
tractor and some of the other guys are out there.
So I got across to that and the tractor was wabbling.
It's just about, you know, knock your five feet And
we were sheltering from the wind behind the tractor. And
when we got back to town again, the railway barrier
arms that stand up, you know when we when the

(01:40:07):
roads open, that had been broken off and the laying
on the ground. So that's how hard it blew it
blue away that night it blew away, or that morning
it blew away everything except the milk out of your
tea and your mortgage. But it almost blew the milk
out of your tea.

Speaker 2 (01:40:25):
Now this might sound trivial in light of what a
day that was sort of slightly fascinated by the house spell.
What did that look like? And how did it work
through that? It was not attached to the phone, was it?
How how did it work?

Speaker 9 (01:40:37):
No, No, No.

Speaker 26 (01:40:38):
It was on a separate line, just stuck up above

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:43):
Size seven eggs are definitely smaller. They have been resized.
Oh here's an interesting question.

Speaker 10 (01:41:52):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (01:41:52):
I wonder if people who have freestanding portable basketball hoops
realize that strong winds can easily topple these and could
cause injury. That's right, I wonder about those basketball hoops.
What do our kids want ones? I look at them.
I think cheapest creepers really. Another Texas says the unions
can't negotiate when the government chief negotiator is on a

(01:42:13):
holiday in Australia. They have canceled flights out of Queenstown tomorrow.
We're supposed to fly the afternoon, but can't fly out
now till Friday am. Bring back no leine, that'll be
to it. They just had a very good run the netballers.
They just squared about this. It played very very well.
But now they're still back to ten down. Well, said Marcus.

(01:42:34):
Just flip the trampolines upside down. Secondhand books. I need
to know where to take them, an auclar not buy them?
Help please, Marcus deeven Port Salvation Army op shop is
the best. And I've got two Capmandou jackets for forty bucks.
They look brand new, still had price tags on them.

(01:42:55):
Marcus the second hand bookshop has the best. Second bookshop
has to be in Manapuri. Roofshaw owns and is the
author of the books At the End of the World.
People from all around the world go to visit called
in today to buy his second book called Three Wee
Bookshops at the End of the World, an amazing life
and story must read kindle. Yes, I've heard very good

(01:43:16):
things about that margs. I've brought farmer brown eggs at
New World number seven eggs definitely smaller. Also, some of
the yolks are so pale you wonder if you should
eat them exactly now, I've never seen pale yolks. They
say smaller eggs are better for you, but I don't
know who they are. Australia head by sixteen. Just over
a minute to go, one minute twenty five. We won't

(01:43:37):
win this one. I think there's another two matches to go.
We haven't lost the Constellation Cup just yet.

Speaker 4 (01:43:44):
But yeah, not.

Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
Looking good now, not only good for us and good
for Australia. Talk about the size of eggs, and I
did want to know. I hope that someone at least
would have tried the Dubai chocolate. It's everywhere if you
want to do a chocolate report for us, it's got
pistachio nuts and filo pastry and that sweet cheese. I

(01:44:09):
don't want to pronounce it wrong. You sometimes get it
at it's k in a if e h. You see
big wheels of it some of those shops parameter. I'd
like to scoll it. Canafair, layered crisperry pastry and sweet

(01:44:30):
cheese soaked in syrup. It's the real deal. That's what
the chocolate's got in this. This a do buy chocolate.
It's only been invented in twenty twenty one. Pistachio nuts
and canafair and tahini, which is the sesame seeds. It's
pretty nice, but a lot of it is sort of

(01:44:53):
just cheap copies. Now everyone's got on board that bus,
so a lot of it's not as good. And I've
already tried the stuff I brought in a panic that
I don't think was a real deal. I think probably
if had the real ingredients, that would have been fantastic.
That's opinion. By the way, if you've tried, let us
no hutil twelve if you want to be a part
of it. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty serious bus, extant

(01:45:18):
and tabaque drive today a bus versus a car after
nine o'clock but a huge fireble went into the sky.
So I don't know what's gone on there, but someone
seriously injured, someone moderately injured. They have gone to hospital.
Don't off the roads we opened yet, but will keep
you more informed. We've got more information. Hello, David.

pizza free tuck that's peanut slams.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
Wow.

Speaker 24 (01:46:29):
But it's quite an incredible place as you could imagine,
Like there's a big thing just swirling around with a
pool of chuck, cluts and nuts, and it's quite an
incredible factory as you would imagine. But I think it's
the kids that have taken over it now.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
Is it neither main road? I've never I've never come
across that factory.

Speaker 24 (01:46:51):
Yeah, yeah, some partido there. It's a long time ago,
but but it's a family. It's been a family business
for a long time. I think. Yeah, So I think
they're I think I think Brian and Andrew's kids have
taken it over now.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
I used to think you're right there. I think you're
in there. And they seem to have taken in a
sort of a more elegant direction, haven't they. With all
those kind of new flavors and small bars and stuff.
They seem to be doing quite well with it. People
are talking about a lot more than they ever did.

Speaker 24 (01:47:16):
Okay, well it's yeah, it's very well known in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:47:20):

Slabs and in a great combination. Thanks for that, David.
It's not just eggs. What's going on with nature fresh
fresh toast? Thought it was a couple of bad loasts,
but the slices are so thin now not the usual
thick toast. Won't be buying anymore. Bring back Nole in
could be a buck campaign. Diamonds are storing us bring

a bit of differently for you better. The little bookshop
Latham Streak Nape. You're owned by a woman called Anne,
we are talking about the weather tomorrow, and do buy chocolate,
and and and forget what the other topics have been.

(01:48:55):
There's been a lot of them. If you want to
talk on it and up for the fine, they'll be
love to hear from you. There'll be other stuff you
want to mention, no doubt, so make the ff get
in touch, and there might be something entirely different. I've
enjoyed the discusson about bookshops though, because there's probably not
many reasons for them to exist, because so much of

(01:49:18):
the way books are traded now is online. That would
be my because rather having a shop. But I think
a lot of them online. A lot of those bookshops
still have a database, so some of them will. They're
all connected by all the scene the bookshops. Most of
them are connected with a database, so they help each
other out by helping people find the books. I think
that's the way it works. It's ten past eleven. If

(01:49:39):
you want to talk in New Zealand, yeah, get in touch.
I'll just tell you what else is happening around the
world people and around New Zealand. Eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty be good to hear from you in the
final hour, you might have a nipple report that would
be good, or some more information about that bus crash.
And I thought the cricket, the cricket's tomorrow night, the

(01:50:01):
women's wonder ODI, that's that's India tomorrow. And yeah, winds
of one fifty k's in Canterbury tomorrow, so you know
that a red level weather warning tomorrow. They say it
could be as big as the Big Blow. Oh, by
the way, haven't any called you about the Hunter of

(01:50:21):
alle Argyle Hotel. The locals have bought the public's a
good building. I don't know how you make money out
of that, but good on them. I suppose a pub
can be a community hub if it's run well. And
by the way, the guy that's made the best sausage
of the year says, don't put sauce on them, just
serve them with bread.

Speaker 10 (01:50:43):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:50:44):
That's interesting. Yep.

Speaker 10 (01:50:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:50:50):
Um.

Speaker 2 (01:50:53):
There's a fairly interesting letter to the editor about in
the Herald about Zesprey comparing Zespre to Fonterra. Zespre has
set its sights on becoming the world's healthiest fruit brand
by twenty thirty five. This was the media release for
early this month, aiming to be the first for consumers,
first for growers, and first for people. Having exceeded its

(01:51:14):
long standing goal of four point five billion revenue by
twenty twenty five, it's continue to develop its twenty thirty
five strategy to ensure it remains future fit in a
global environment that will be more competitive and more complex.
It's one hundred percent owned by current and past using
Kiwi fruit growers, barely a generation young. These guys are
storming for us on the world stage and just getting
into seeking gear.

Speaker 6 (01:51:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
Why can't Fonterra and all its farmers see potential like this?
Don't sell out to the French. Keep the control, innovation
and integrity of it here. We will protect and prosper
from it this way, rather than making the quick buck,
which has been disasters for New Zealand on many setouts
in the past. Don't disagree, Marcus. I'm just home from Auckland.

(01:51:57):
Has been a discussion about the James Blood concert and Auckland.
It was fantastic, spark ay and is sold are absolutely brilliant.
You have just seen some photos he posted online James Blunt.
It look good, amazing crowd two nights. So I didn't
realize he'd set out two nights. It's been a while
since he was not gonna say relevant but at the prime.
So you've well done him. Someone said, Hunterville well known

(01:52:18):
for the statue of the hunter dog who came from Hunterville.
Always like to know which well known news idits came
from these small towns. I'll tell you in a sick
good evening. Near of this is Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 9 (01:52:35):
The other day I heard on the radio that a
lady had It was on a cooking program. She had
rung up the radio station to say that she she
cooks her eggs in a microwave. Yeah, I thotainly saw. Well,
you know she must break the shell off that you

(01:52:56):

especially in the winter months, and with what meat, mostly beef. Yeah,

that's corn beef. I cooked up a big piece of
corn beef.

Speaker 2 (01:53:50):

Speaker 9 (01:53:51):
Yes, I'm having that with the mustard and oh yeah, yeah,
I was just intrigued about this.

Speaker 2 (01:54:03):
Yeah, I don't know. I'll see if someone can ring

the microwave? Is it your question? Yes, it is is
Are you ready for the winds tomorrow and live? Yeah?

boy it's come back strong. I couldn't believe it. Two
days later and for junk yeah yeah, yeah, well I'll
find that hopefully a texta called Michelle come through. Marcus,

(01:55:26):
the fire commander said it was a head on crash.
Response was for a heavy vehicle, then upgraded as the
bus is an EV and the batteries did catch fire,
requires more appliances and is a thermal runway runaway, so
it needs a lot more water. I could believe an
excellent from a bus would give out. And this it

(01:55:47):
was the car that the fuel tank blue like that.
Nothing should be cooked in the microwave. Nothing is I've
never really used a microwave body. This is Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:56:00):
Yeah, I reckon it can be cooked in the microwave.

Speaker 10 (01:56:02):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:56:05):
Do you put a whole them?

Speaker 3 (01:56:08):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:56:08):
No, no, I reckon you can. It's totally fine to
cook an egg in a microwave, totally fine.

Speaker 2 (01:56:13):
Oh will they not explode?

Speaker 8 (01:56:16):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:56:16):
Actually, don't put a whole egg in out obviously crack it.

Speaker 2 (01:56:19):
Oh no, how would you put a whole You wouldn't
put a whole egg and you'd crack it into a vessel,
would you?

Speaker 8 (01:56:25):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:56:26):
I love just someone that actually did that twice and
it explodes and the micro microwave doors goes flying open
and it breaks it.

Speaker 10 (01:56:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56:36):
So okay, So if you you can't get a hard
ball league in a microwave, can you?

Speaker 9 (01:56:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
Way? I think that was his question.

Speaker 12 (01:56:47):
Oh yeah, no, no, that's a bomb.

Speaker 2 (01:56:49):
Okay, yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, at least he
knows that, buddy, Thank you. I think there are containers
you can put the eggs into hard boiler. Could someone
tell me more about that? They could save near he
could go and buy one. Eleven twenty one Sarah, Oh, hello,
I'm just.

Speaker 27 (01:57:09):
Star ringing up about eggs in the microwave. Yes, I've
cooked them for about forty years in the microwave and
I never cooked them on a stove or in a
saucepin or anything. And the marvelous how do you cook them.
I've got to just get a coffee cup or a
small bowl, depending how many you're cooking, and you get

(01:57:30):
warm water, warm to hot water, and you wrap the
egg in foil and you cover the egg with the water,
put it in the microwave. One egg ready for your
boiled egg in the morning is about five minutes thirty
and you just put it in and cook it. And
if I have to do four eggs for a fish pie,
wrap them in foil, put them in a tup of

(01:57:53):
weir container or whatever I've got, and four eggs is
ten minutes, and you've got hard boiled eggs.

Speaker 10 (01:57:59):
Great.

Speaker 2 (01:58:01):
It takes longer than I thought.

Speaker 27 (01:58:03):
I've done that. I've done that all my cooking life.

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
So just wrap the tinfoil wrap.

Speaker 27 (01:58:09):
This is from a recipe book. I didn't make this up.
This is a recipe book. When the microwave first came
out in about the eighties, we all went to microwave
classes to learn how to cook.

Speaker 2 (01:58:20):
Of course you did, yeah, of course, and this was her.

Speaker 27 (01:58:24):
Recipe leaders Henry was her name, And so you do yes,
all in foil. You wrap the egg in foil, and
you cover the egg completely so there is no you
can't see any egg. It's a little parcel in the water,
in the dish in the microwave.

Speaker 2 (01:58:42):
What's the dish?

Speaker 3 (01:58:42):
Do?

Speaker 2 (01:58:43):
Stop it rolling around? Well, it's just a.

Speaker 27 (01:58:45):
Vessel for you to put the egg in. Yes, it's
a coffee cup or something like that. I use my
coffee cups.

Speaker 2 (01:58:52):
Okay, so they wrapping and foil stops it exploding.

Speaker 27 (01:58:56):
Yes, yes, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:59:00):
Okay, appreciate that, Sarah, thank you. Hello down, it's Marcus.

Speaker 27 (01:59:03):
Welcome, Hello Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:59:05):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (01:59:06):
Dawn? Locking your voice and energy? Well done?

Speaker 3 (01:59:08):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:59:08):
Thanks for calling.

Speaker 28 (01:59:09):
I haven't I haven't spoken to you for a while. No, no,
you know anyway, what that lady said, I've done the
exact same thing for years and years. Rap the eggs
and tinfoil, put them in some hot water.

Speaker 22 (01:59:26):
I've got a two.

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
Cup hot water. That sounds important too, Yes.

Speaker 28 (01:59:30):
Oh you've got to have the hot water. Ye, yes,
hot water out of the tap, and I give my
two eggs six minutes exactly. And that's for your runny egg.
You know you don't want it hard boiled if you
haven't get it in an egg cup to here.

Speaker 2 (01:59:49):
No, he wouldn't be quicker to do it in the kettle.

Speaker 28 (01:59:53):
No, I wouldn't trust the kettle.

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
Okay, so five minutes, okay, I appreciate that, dn't thank you.
This is Marcus Kim welcome.

Speaker 5 (02:00:02):
Yeah, Hi, how are you saying?

Speaker 2 (02:00:04):
Thank you?

Speaker 29 (02:00:05):
You're talking about eggs and MI wave right, Yeah, well
I stumbled across the thing with my son. He cracks
meak into a coffee cup because you know, they are
microwave perfinal, and he puts a handy towel on top,
puts it in the microwave for thirty seconds, and then
checks it and then coops it again, right, and he
makes it the most perfect like English muffins, baking Equi

(02:00:25):
muffins on it.

Speaker 20 (02:00:26):
They're amazing.

Speaker 16 (02:00:27):
That's amazing.

Speaker 29 (02:00:28):
It stunned me, you know, and I'm forty five.

Speaker 2 (02:00:31):
It cracks in the cup and puts a handytawel on
the top just.

Speaker 29 (02:00:35):
Sort of like pokes it a little bit, you know,
saltim hare for it and stuff, and then puts it
in the microwave, puts a handy towel over it, cooks
it for thirty seconds and then checks it and then
cooks it from like another ten to twenty or whatever,
and it comes out perfect and it's perfectly round like
English muffins.

Speaker 2 (02:00:51):
What's he check it for?

Speaker 4 (02:00:53):
What's am he chicks?

Speaker 29 (02:00:55):
It was he chick just to see like they do
explode in the microwave. Okay, so you may have to
poke it a little bit just to calm it down.

Speaker 20 (02:01:03):
So yeah, cooks all the way through.

Speaker 2 (02:01:05):
Still terrified, Thanks Kim. All about eggs, we've ended up,
haven't we. But if someone's waning to talk about eggs,
they worried about the sizes, they'd begin smaller. But maybe
that's just put someone's perception still freaked out by. I
haven't gon to microwave, but I'll be freaked out by it.
So complicated to put them in water before you hard
boil them. I guess the water is the medium of

(02:01:28):
the heat. Hello, Sarah, welcome, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 23 (02:01:31):
Yeah, just the egg thing.

Speaker 22 (02:01:33):
I thought that aluminium metal was not y.

Speaker 2 (02:01:38):
I should have picked her up on that.

Speaker 27 (02:01:40):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:01:41):
That's supposed to crackle and spark and do all sorts
of terrible things.

Speaker 22 (02:01:45):
Hasn't it set everything on fire?

Speaker 26 (02:01:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:01:47):
Okay, sorry, I apologize for not picking that up. You
wouldn't wrap it now alminium foil, would you well that
was a thin water. She's making a bomb, Rebecca, it's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 30 (02:02:01):
I was.

Speaker 20 (02:02:02):
That's what I was.

Speaker 30 (02:02:03):
The whole egg thing. I was trying to figure out
because I didn't think you could put ten for you know,
aluminum in the microwave.

Speaker 21 (02:02:11):
But I suppose the.

Speaker 20 (02:02:12):
Water makes it.

Speaker 2 (02:02:13):
No, I'd still I still avoid that. That sounds dangerous,
doesn't it.

Speaker 17 (02:02:16):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (02:02:17):
Sorry, it goes against everything that I know about microwaves.

Speaker 23 (02:02:21):
That also, I am, I don't know.

Speaker 30 (02:02:25):
Why isn't it quickly just to put the egg.

Speaker 22 (02:02:27):
In a pot of water?

Speaker 2 (02:02:28):
Well, I thought seconds, but she said five minutes, yes.

Speaker 30 (02:02:36):
Six minutes, six minutes for a running egg.

Speaker 10 (02:02:38):
And I thought that.

Speaker 30 (02:02:39):
And you've got to wrap the eggs individually and you
put them into that just it seems like a long
way of doing things. I don't know. You just put
the egg in the hot water on then it's yeah.
And also I was at my mother's a several months ago,
and she loves eggs in the microwave.

Speaker 20 (02:02:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 30 (02:02:58):
She asked me she wasn't well, and she asked me
to cook her one. And I went to do it,
and she goes, now, just put in the microwave. So
I put the whole egg and just in a bowl
of of water. Just put the egg as it is,
wasn't wrapped in tin for and just put it in
the microwave right there, and it came out fine.

Speaker 20 (02:03:13):
She couldn't.

Speaker 30 (02:03:13):
She was like, she said, I'm supposed to crack the
ego open or something.

Speaker 20 (02:03:18):
I don't know. I don't cook eggs in the microwave.

Speaker 2 (02:03:21):
Ah, why would you?

Speaker 23 (02:03:23):
But you don't.

Speaker 30 (02:03:24):
Even when I did it, I didn't use any tinfoil
and it came out fine.

Speaker 2 (02:03:29):
Rebecca. I continued taking calls on this discussioncause I'd berofesster
at the tin floor myself. Marcus. I crack an egg
into a small bowl, couple with the paper tailery, cook
for three stings, I've not cooked. If I cooked for
another five STIGs at a time, until it's like a
soft poached eggs never fail? Why not just cook eggs
in a pot quicker and safe for Jane Kay, I
tried to cook an egg with a mini plastic microwave

(02:03:49):
cooking your tents would have fit in you and recleaned
the microwave. I lift it in the shell. Before long,
there was a large explosion which exploded the utens to
coat the entire inside and dried egg. Marcus dead Lifting
a hunter in the forties opposite the Argyle Hotel. Every
weekend he would write on a blackboard in his flat
where the party was for the Saturday night. Social media
it now would be called brilliant. Have to prick the

(02:04:14):
yolk and white to let the ear out so they
don't explode. Microwave egg food tastes like mac is awful.
A lot of people saying you don't put tin in
the microwave foil. A lot of people have alluded me
to the foil. To cook the egg, break the egg

(02:04:38):
into a cup, add little water, pierce the yolk with spike,
and cover with microwave. Cook until set. Why would you bother?
Crack egg into a small non metal vessel, add one
tablespoon water, prick yolk with a fork, microwave one minute
systeam a microwave container. Easy egg, That's what I use.
You have to crack the egg in it and put

(02:04:59):
in the microwave. Just drove Wellington to cart it and
to beat the wind. Wind all clear? Whetherwise? My partner
is at the Cordy's Hotel tonight. Foreign level seven water
damage level two. Wow, marcause you can puil an egg
in the microwave wrap and tinfoiler, put in a glass

(02:05:20):
of water. The water absorbs the microwaves and the foil
prevents them getting to the egg. Oh wow. Police have
said the road along Tamaki Drive will remain closed, likely
until daylight. So they must be still trying to spray

(02:05:43):
out that batteries. It's a long time. It's a long time.
So Tamaki Drive remain closed until daylight. So you know
the diversion to pat the old diversion, won't you? You
know the way, you'll know that's where those who just

(02:06:04):
joined us. There was a carv bus and there was
a big fiball looked very serious and I've got no update.
I presume there was just too involved. I don't know
how many was on the bus, but I don't know
if it was both passages or a passenger and drive
at one hospital in a serious condition, one in a
moderate condition, but a very serious looking fire. Yep, that's

(02:06:27):
happened tonight. M Yeah, Jamie, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 14 (02:06:35):
No Marcus, there you're going.

Speaker 2 (02:06:36):
But Jamie.

Speaker 14 (02:06:38):
I was in Melbourne today and man, it was windy
really anyway?

Speaker 2 (02:06:44):
And really really was it really hot? There's huge temperatures
in Sydney, aren't there in Australia? Is it right?

Speaker 14 (02:06:51):
It was hot the other day it was raining and
it wasn't so much raining, but it was. It was
pretty tall, yeah, like almost jumper maybe seventeen eighty degrees
or something. But yeah, I was insanely windy. I've never
seen Melbourne like that before. A little bit pretty rare,

(02:07:13):
but yeah, I can't tell you how far. But the trees,
your one little branch fell on my truck and that
gave me how on the fright?

Speaker 3 (02:07:23):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
Are you driving back now, Jamie?

Speaker 20 (02:07:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (02:07:27):
Heading back to Brisbane. Yes, And I think planes got
delayed in Sydney yesterday or something like that anyway, because
it's been real windy in Sydney as well.

Speaker 2 (02:07:38):
Apparently Have you gone through Dubble yet?

Speaker 14 (02:07:42):
Now I'm going up the Coast Road, so why I
just go where I'm going to the Gold Coaster. It's
just either quickly to go up the coast road.

Speaker 6 (02:07:54):

Tikta uh and.

Speaker 14 (02:08:00):
We're we're there a whole brook where the one of
the Submarinas who does that?

Speaker 2 (02:08:09):
Yes, we've discussed that.

Speaker 14 (02:08:12):
Yeah, I'm still waiting to check it out for you.
I keep seeing night I drive past the think I
must stop there for you.

Speaker 2 (02:08:17):
But yeah, it's surprising. It'll be so far inland.

Speaker 3 (02:08:23):
Yeah that's pretty cool.

Speaker 14 (02:08:24):
Well you don't drive, you've got to get off the
highway to go past it. But yeah, when you do
go past it, it looks pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (02:08:32):
Where's that town? Where's that town nearby? Just so I
can find it on the map, Jamie, Aubrey.

Speaker 14 (02:08:38):
It'll be about one hundred kilometers north of Aubrey.

Speaker 2 (02:08:46):
I found it now, Yes, Yeah, Aubrey were done and
we used to go there on the railways. Okay, what
time you get back to Brisbane?

selling this one. And then next week I take a
different truck for the last week and then yeah that

WI Will you spend the night, Jamie.

Speaker 14 (02:09:13):
I'm probably at the tucker box at gunder Guy any good. Yeah,
it's not too bad. It's just the average truck stop
KFC or But you just find a park in the
far corner and you have a good sleep.

Speaker 2 (02:09:28):
Would you recognize other truck drivers at the KFC because
you've been on the road together for so long when
that happened? Quite really?

Speaker 14 (02:09:36):
Oh yeah, like other people I know loading and there's
the other driver that you remember just because they're stick
in your mind.

Speaker 6 (02:09:43):
I don't really know.

Speaker 14 (02:09:44):
I stick to myself, so I don't really know. Other
than people i've seen at work. I don't see that
many people. It's easier just to do your own things
doing with everyone and they hold you up.

five Hospital Transport Franklin a medical event Frankdin eight twenty,
but not the five choppers that you saw. Margaret. It's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 22 (02:13:24):
Yes, hi, Just a wee story about nineteen seventy five wind.
My father in law and mother in law went up
from Southland up to achieve it for my father in
law's brother's birthday and the first of August. So they
were having the birthday tea and he fell off the
chair dead.

Speaker 9 (02:13:44):
This was my father in law.

Speaker 17 (02:13:46):
Wow.

Speaker 22 (02:13:46):
And it's took well over a week to get him home.
And he had never flown in his life. So they
ended up having to fly him home because of all
the destruction was the trees and the roads. They just
couldn't get him home. So they ended up being sort
of a bit of a drama. Trying to gosh, my

(02:14:06):
memory of the first of August nineteen seventy five.

Speaker 2 (02:14:10):
So tell me again, your parents.

Speaker 22 (02:14:13):
My father in law and mother in law traveled from Southland.

Speaker 2 (02:14:17):
Yes, your father in law and your mother and then
your father in law fell off the chair and.

Speaker 22 (02:14:21):
Died the birthday party, fell off the birthday party and died.
And that was the day of the big win, the
first of August. And then they couldn't get him back
home down south because of all the roads being closed,
and he had never flown in his life. But he
ended up home in the cargo hold of the plane.

Speaker 2 (02:14:39):
I was going to ask you about where on the plane.
It wasn't a special one. They just checked him on there,
we'll get him home.

Speaker 22 (02:14:44):
No, it was just it was a complete drama.

Speaker 2 (02:14:47):
Gosh, and how were you a child an adult at
the time.

Speaker 22 (02:14:52):
No, I was actually married to his son, father in law.

Speaker 2 (02:14:55):
Yes, okay, yeah, my father and was married to his son.

Speaker 22 (02:14:58):
So with the family, no one knew.

Speaker 24 (02:15:02):
What to do.

Speaker 2 (02:15:03):
Well, I wouldn't know what to do because you couldn't
get down, no.

Speaker 22 (02:15:07):
Nothing, No one could get anywhere. So he decided to
die in the middle of it, which really wasn't very convenient.

Speaker 2 (02:15:12):
So he wicked the party as well. We can't imagine
much of a party if someone falls off the chair
and dies. That's that gone, isn't it.

Speaker 22 (02:15:19):
We know jelly and ice cream At.

Speaker 2 (02:15:22):
Goodness. She died that day August during the storm.

Speaker 22 (02:15:28):
Yes, was he a good age Margaret seventy seventy something,
seventy six, seventy seven.

Speaker 2 (02:15:35):
I think seems young now, doesn't it.

Speaker 22 (02:15:37):
Well it is now, absolutely yes, exactly young. But then
of course there was all the drama of getting my
mother in law home because he had probably driven up
was they'd probably shared the driving, but then she didn't
want to drive home, so I'd forgotten now exactly what happened,
But I know that added to it because she was
left up there with a body and we couldn't get

(02:15:58):
her home or the body, and then I have to
get the.

Speaker 2 (02:16:01):
Car home as well. Your memory. Were the roads closed
for quite a while? Was it hard to get around
after the I guess it.

Speaker 22 (02:16:08):
Was north of Ashburton. All those trees blew down and
I think they crossed the railway line and crossed the
road because the road's really close to the railway line.
I think they had to in days getting rid of
the trees off the road.

Speaker 3 (02:16:22):
It was.

Speaker 22 (02:16:22):
It was a major, absolute major.

Speaker 10 (02:16:25):
Yeah, okay, where about to you, Margaret, Queenstown.

Speaker 2 (02:16:29):
You're going to get it, But there might be able
of water coming in from the bottom of town tomorrow.

Speaker 22 (02:16:33):
They reckon up the lake just turned out a few
minutes ago above the lake.

Speaker 2 (02:16:39):
You're not in the lake water. It's not raining. It's
not raining there now. Is It's probably been a great day?

Speaker 22 (02:16:46):
Is it not doing anything at the moment?

Speaker 2 (02:16:49):
Lucky thing? Lovely to talk to you, Margaret, think you
that's a good story that gosh I was well told too,
wasn't It had a lot of twists and tunes. That
story like a movie.
