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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Now.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings and welcome. My name is Marcus herpets could be
you are oh eight one hundred and eighty taty and
nine nine to text? Yeah, how are you? What's happening here?
Til twelfth? Then the end of my week. We're back
for some of it next week, also tomorrow. A bit
of sport on tonight. I'll keep you covered with that.
I'm just watching the darts too with Luke Littler. That's

(00:36):
the replay. I'm just reading about the fairy Tale of
New York. Gosh, that's a nice song, is that when
it comes on? And that's about all I'll say about Christmas?
But it's the one that really shines, isn't it. What
was written as a bit well, that's disputed. Elvis Castillo

(00:58):
was the Elvis Castillo, who was the Pope's producer at
the time. Bet the band could not be able to
write a Christmas hit single. Anyway, they did, and of
course she got killed water skiing Kirsty McCole, which adds
a little a fresh on to the song and tragedy. Anyway,

(01:24):
how are you going, Pete, what's happening. Look, we've got
a bit to talk about tonight, and that's a good
thing because it's a Friday, and I love a friday
free for all. So buckle yourselves in. The number is
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
two to text. You'll be pleased to know that yodling

(01:44):
has been given at UNESCO status. It's interesting because yodling
is from Switzerland, yet country stars embraced it. What's that about?
Could didn't embrace anything else from Swiss singing? Did they?

(02:05):
I don't know there is anything else to Swiss singing.
No doubt, before the end of the night, someone will yodl,
and it won't be me. Within the Swiss Yodling Association,
there are twelve thousand yodlers. I don't even know. You know,
probably if you actually wake me up in the dead
of night and said Marcus quickly, where does yodling come from?

(02:27):
I wouldn't have been sure because I always it was
a country and Western thing. It must be just something
they adopted, like who was the first yodler? Every time
I say yodler, I go, you little lou But I'm not.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Going to do that.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, So I don't know. I don't know when they
when did the yodel cross the Atlantic? And no one
can answer me that for the appalations probably now, I
can't see any calls standing animal copy that copy that,
so we will talk yodling, but that won't be exclusive.

(03:12):
I can also tell you that it is the end
of the life for phone booths and the coming months
they've all gone. There's about five hundred and fifty left
in Auckland, but they're all on their way out, so
they're all going now. I don't like the new ones

(03:32):
that are just not really a phone booth. They're all
just like, well, they're not a four sighted one, are they?
They're just some sort of thing. I don't know if
anyone's interesting. I don't know if anyone's got an interesting
phone booth story. But I reckon, I reckon we could

(03:52):
do well all right with that. Yeah, I reckon there
could be some interesting stories about phone booths. I don't
know where they when they first came in. Well, I
mentionine that you all remember what it was like when
you could actually app the phone, and for a while
phone cards were a thing, but that was short lived.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Wasn't.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
It probably got twenty years of out of that and
that was it. But now there is no use for them.
Even those sparks sketch you on will probably end up
at motet. So we're talking phone booths and yodling, and
I reckon. Between those two, I'll tell you something else
about phone booths. Once upon a time and radio, it

(04:40):
was always considered re edgy to find the phone number
of a phone booth and ring it and then ask
the person answered random questions. I think that was a thing.
I don't know how they found the phone numbers for them,
and I think they all do have phone numbers, so

(05:02):
radio stations would ring them. I think it might have
been Blacky or something some of them know. I don't
think that's something I've done that I feel quite happy
about that. But yes, you could ring them. I think
what you do is you'd say I'm going to ring
a phone booth at this time, and people would hang around.
I think that's how it worked. Someone will know, but

(05:27):
people would find the phone numbers, the numbers of phone
booths and then call them as people were biking past
and things. It's kind of part of that canon of
prank calls anyway. Of course, radio prank calls. Prank calls
some radio stations all took a bad turn when that
person called. What if the person from Australia they called,

(05:51):
they called the hostel Cape Middleton was a patient and
it ended up every badly anyway. So we're talking about
interesting stories from phone booths and also about yodling, and
that might sound like a stretch. I don't care. I
just don't care because if it doesn't work, we'll find

(06:15):
something else. And I'm often thinking, if I was listening
to the radio show, what we're udtering about uttering up
about phone booths? Anyone spent a night in one Marcus
breaking news. The inter Island ferry Kiarahi, which sailed from

(06:41):
Wellington at three thirtieth after and experienced technical difficulties just
before entering the Tory Channel just over an hour ago,
turned to head for Northern Entrance, but has now returned
to Wellington making about seven knots. Developing story. So it's
gone from Wellington the Tory Channel and turned around. So
thanks that intel. My wife has a collection of two

(07:04):
hundred phone cards with various pictures on them. They would
be worthless and Australia. All phone booths work under the
Telstra banner free to call win anywhere in Australia, landlines
or mobile great security feature. Not everyone has a mobile phone.
We should do that so it's free to call anyway.

(07:24):
They taught me to about yodling and phone booths. If
you've got to say something about that. There what used
to be exciting and awkward There was to have auctions
for phone booths, the red ones. I've attended one of
those from time to time, and yes, that was always
quite fun to buy those and sit them up as
garden sheds. Is it the new fairy? I can't remember

(07:46):
what they're called. It the new one? I hope it's not.
Is it the new one? I don't ever remember the
name of the names of the fairies. I better check
if it's the new one. No, we haven't got a
new one yet, have we. Let me just check what
it's called. Kiera k k Rahi. I'll check up on that.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
If it's it must be the old one. I think
they're all old now. Un If it's the yeah, it
is an old one. I think it's it's blue. It's
not Blue Bridge, it's Kiwi rail. So she's NOLDI twenty
seven years old, built in nineteen ninety eight. It maybe
the one I went on this summer, Jonathan, it's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Hey Marcus, can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes, loud and clear? Thanks for asking, Thanks for being
so clear with your phone. I appreciate that.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
Oh sweet as sorry, bro, I'm driving out on the
fun and nacky South Road out I wear Winston Peters
Landers on fred Gravel Road.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, sounding good, they're sounding fine, mighty fine.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
Oh sweet, and mate, you just triggered a memory that
I haven't even thought of for about thirty years. It's amazing.
I'm forty eight years old and my dad was a
bit of a dodgy bugger and he taught me as
a kid. Like with a phone booth. You don't remember

(09:09):
those You used to have to put a coin in?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Not you that not you, though, Jonathan, not dodgy.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
But he taught me how to tap.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
Out of Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
So I'm saying you wouldn't need coins. You'd tap tap, tap,
but you dial the zero? Is that right?

Speaker 8 (09:25):
Ah?

Speaker 9 (09:25):
Well, what you do?

Speaker 7 (09:26):
Like if the number was a four, you'd have to
tap up six times so if the number was a six,
so whatever the number was, you subtracted that from ten. Yes,
so you could tap out. You could tap out a
whole phone number and not pay a cent.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
That's right. But Jonathan, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:43):
Marcus, I've been listening to you for years. By the way,
you would you would dial the zero, would you, Yes, yes,
that was the key.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
You'd subtract from ten, but you dial you other dial
the nine of the zero. IM pretty sure the zero.
But look everyone, I'm sure there's a lot of other
people ring up about that tonight.

Speaker 10 (10:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Yeah, yeah, man. It was just like now, I just
can't believe you just triggered that memory. It was like, wow,
I have to bring up markers. That was amazing.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yea. And sometimes I think they'd talk down to you
and tell you not to do it. Yeah, I think
so that's what I remember. Tip tap tap. But the
other thing with phone booths too, as you're walking home
from school, you'd always go in them and just check
if there's any money.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
Yeah, because the off.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Of the phone call wouldn't go through and they forgot
to push button B. S. They'd go and you'd push
button B and collect the sixth cents.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Oh, man, Yeah, we were you heading for Jonathan huck
your south. Oh yeah, I just got here and my
dogs want to get out of the ute. The son's
about to go down. I've got to set up for
the night, and yeah, set up.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
What were you camping?

Speaker 11 (10:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:59):
I are camping here for a few days, me and
the missus and the two dogs.

Speaker 12 (11:03):
And yeah, brilliant, Like life's not too chabby.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Have you been across to the general store yet?

Speaker 11 (11:12):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (11:13):
Yeah, I'm Dellus Junions. And now he's doing the awesome
job of that.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Give him my regards when you see him.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
Yeah, I'll give him a slap on the guts. I
went to school with jalloas did you really?

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Well, goodness always, But I think he's buying out the town.

Speaker 7 (11:27):
Yeah, it sounds like he's promoting it too, bloody good.
I liked it the way it was when it was
real low key promoting it?

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Mate, you have that battle with her? Are you have
that battle with Tell me to put in a phone box.
That's what the town needs. That you could tap.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
There is a phone box there. But you know, one
of those spark.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
You want to keep it up, the old school one,
keep it like it is. Brilliant Jonathan, nice to talk,
Thank you. Nineteen past eight, eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine. We're talking about tapping phone boxes. Marcus
is an old red phone box at Clark Avan, Wellington.
Today it's used as a book sharing library. I have
mixed few This is when comes in your surprise to you.

(12:08):
I have mixed views about book sharing libraries. Yeah, not
as many as I have about alf and the shelf.
I don't know what book sharing library are getting us
ready for, but yes, it's always kind of set well anyway,
I'm not going to comment. Biggest bar humbug goes to
the grins that sit fire to the Timaru Christmas tree

(12:30):
on the piazza. Yeah, that's a pretty sketchy thing that
set like to a Christmas tree Timaaru, though they do
it special there. Twenty past eight, twenty three past eight.
David's Marcus, welcome there you tonight to thanks Dave.

Speaker 9 (12:45):
Yes, I was a phone capper. This is going back
to nineteen seventy but it did have a purpose. One
of my schoolmates didn't have a phone, but he had
a phone box outside their house, so we'd make arrangements
to talk at a specific time and yeah, so he

(13:09):
I would either ring that number or or he would
tap it and bring me back. Yeah. So it was
a bit of a process. Occasionally he would forget and
I'd be ringing, ringing, ringing. Yeah, but nobody else ever
picked it up.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, how did you get hold of because I presume
they were closely guarded secrets, the numbers of phone booths.
Did you have someone that worked in telecom that had
told you that?

Speaker 9 (13:36):
No, And honestly I can't remember how. No, honestly I
can't remember it. Maybe something to listener will tell you.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
This, I mean, just so I could picture it. We're
wat city and whereabouts are we talking?

Speaker 9 (13:50):
Yeah, mada matter.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I like it. And he just did never phone?

Speaker 9 (13:56):
No, no, very strange. Yes, but their house never had
a phone.

Speaker 13 (14:01):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
I love that story.

Speaker 14 (14:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (14:05):
Yeah, there's only four digits for those days, of course,
not your seven digit today and having to put seven
or something in front. So it's very simple process. Yeah.
The second story. In about nineteen ninety eight, I became
an assistant sales manager for an MLM company whose name

(14:26):
I won't mention, But anyway, I didn't have a mobile
phone in those days, but my partner at the time
had a pager, so she gave it to me, and
if ever the sales manager wanted to get in touch
with me, he had paged me, and then I had
to run around the place trying to find a public
phone to call the back. Yeah, and half the time,

(14:48):
you know, I found out later he was an alcoholic
and he'd ring for the most wunderfest of things and
then ranto and raised and carry on. Yeah, it's a
bit of a process. Yeah, but that's my portion for tonight.
I'm enjoying your enjoying the show.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I think this is something a bit of it. Just
as I'm reading about you and the pager. I think
in England London some of them will know they have
police phone boxes and police would have to go to
those phone boxes to make their calls because they didn't
have com I thinks this probably because radio wasn't that well.
And then I'm trying to think now and then and

(15:22):
that call from that anyway, let me find out more
about that. Thank you, Dave. Oh wait, hundred and eighty
today eighty nine to nine to text people on their
own better decided to text me through progressupport on Justinder
on the tea. I think most people have watched it online,
wouldn't they? Someone said, just Cinder is doing well to

(15:44):
not look completely bored by Kate's gibber jabber. And then
someone's come through something art calling her Jacenter from Anna,
thank you Anna, Greg, it's Marcus.

Speaker 15 (15:55):
Welcome, good evening, A good thing, Marcus, Marcus, all the
stuff saying before to your producer there.

Speaker 10 (16:07):
With the phone box, you know how and doctor who
the phone box was a pine machine? Right, yes, Well
at the moment on I've been scrolling on tip top,
you know, since July they've had this Atlas three I
I don't know we've heard.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Of I'm across that that's the first. That's the third
interstellar object after Amuama.

Speaker 10 (16:33):
That's right, And anyway, I've been following it and some
of the things that this, well then they're not calling
it a comet anymore. Some people are. But because of
the stuff that it's doing, you know, like altering angles

(16:53):
and that going away from the Sun and firing a
particle beam or whatever into the Sun and going from
two hundred thousand miles an hour to stopping and then
starting again, you know like.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
This, how does that happen?

Speaker 10 (17:14):
Exactly, and that's what they're all concerned about. All these
top physicists, you know, like meta jet propulsional abins in California,
The Russians are Chinese everything, everyone, they're all, what's agree again?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
AI three?

Speaker 12 (17:31):
Is it three?

Speaker 16 (17:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (17:33):
Atlas three are three? Eye Atlas three because it's the
third interstellar object. They just called it Atlas, but the
eye denotes interstellar. You know, it's come from out of
the Solar System, and you know, it's it's really amazing.

(17:53):
And they reckon this thing is split in half and
it's one half is heading towards Earth and they reckon
nineteenth of December is I think when it enters our
atmosphere something like that anyway, but it's all, it's all

(18:13):
there on.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I thought TikTok was kids dancing, not interstellar objects exactly.

Speaker 10 (18:21):
You know, like I I'm only you're all new to this, but.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
You're finding the good stuff there.

Speaker 10 (18:29):
Upside, you know. And I was just thinking, you know, well,
you're talking about phone boxes and what they're saying to
think could be a first contact because they reckon this
thing has come from I don't know, billions of miles away,
but the speed at which it was going and then

(18:49):
just stopping and they're starting up again, and it's of course,
you know they've got it on camera, all these different
like where where.

Speaker 12 (19:02):
Then there's a lot of them in.

Speaker 10 (19:04):
Space, so I didn't realize just how many cameras were
in space. You know, I'm.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Gonna live it there. But thanks so much, greg A.
We are talking phone boxes, phone booths and yeodling rich
territory so far long way that lasts and police phone
boxes and how they worked. Yeah, I'm never quite sure how.
I don't know why we didn't have them in New
Zealand because the light would flesh on top and I

(19:36):
think you mean yet to go on because you're expecting
a call. A light on top of the box would
flesh to a loot and officer they requested to contact
the station. They're all blew apart from Glasgow where they
had red ones. So he say, that's what the tartst was.
Was one of those, a police box. YEP, thousands of them.

(20:05):
But we're looking phone booths because they're going to be
a thing of a past forevery soon. Well they pretty
much are anyway. I don't know how many of them work.
Occasionally in Bluff we have seamen who probably are using
those well, I think maybe most of them have got
phones now, don't you remember obviously dibble on top kiit

(20:28):
used to go to the phone box, the police phone
box with the key open up and talk to whoever.
Marcus is probably the tail end of phone booths. Was
a child, I'd check to see if someone left the
phone card in the booth. They had different pictures of
various things. Put cardboard up, b and collect later four cents.
This is what we're on about tonight. Also, the Entiren

(20:49):
ferry has turned back. It's in trouble. But I don't
know why they turn around and go all the way back.
I don't fully understand that way. I haven't gone to
pour it at Nelson picked in rather so that I
don't understand. You might have some intel, but I need's
about phone boxes tonight, and that's my choice.

Speaker 17 (21:08):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
And yodling twenty seven to nine, be a part of it.
Be a part of it. Oh wait, handed eighty ten,
eighty nine to nine to text yep, be good to
hear from. If there'snything you want to add to this.
So that's the situation tonight. Get in touch be a

(21:28):
part of it. These other topics, I can handle those
twenty six away from nine twenty four to nine. Hello, Simon,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 12 (21:36):
Good evening, Hey Marcus. Hey, just on three I Atlas. Yeah,
that I wouldn't trust like TikTok for news on that.
If anyone wants to go and actually find out you know,
about it, just go to medium dot com and look
for doctor RV.

Speaker 14 (21:57):
Lobe.

Speaker 12 (21:58):
He's got a blog.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
He's controverous. He thought more was it was a was
an alien space craft and look for granules in the ocean.
So I don't I don't think. I don't think he's
the most credible voice.

Speaker 12 (22:14):
No, he no, but what he gets twisted. What he
just says that could be and then all the media go, oh,
doctor r V. Lobes said it's a spaceship. Well, you know,
like he open to the scientists.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Scientists are supposed to find the evidence first, aren't they.

Speaker 12 (22:33):
Well they've got it, you've got yeah, that's right, You've
got to find the evidence. So but he's not he's
not going to just go no, it doesn't exist. He's
going to keep that possibility right.

Speaker 10 (22:47):
But that yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Followed, I followed RV. Lob with when he thought there
were granules in the ocean, he went looking for those
with some submersible and I think that was found to
be There were other reasons for that, I think, Oh.

Speaker 12 (23:04):
Yeah, I guess they could have been yep. But I
mean at least he went out and had a look.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
You know.

Speaker 12 (23:11):
But three Atlas has done a lot of strange things.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Has it done? Has it done non ut has it
done non Newtonian things?

Speaker 12 (23:20):
Well, I mean it's had a slight non gravity assisted speed,
increased the anti tail you know where the tail the
tail pointing towards the sun. That's one of the anomalies.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
You know, what what what would explain.

Speaker 12 (23:39):
That it's interesting anyway? Well, I don't know. That's that's
the question. That's it's no comments ever done anything like
that before though, yeah, that we've ever discovered. So yeah,
I just think it's interesting and I just think keep
an open mind on it. But you know, I'm not
saying it's spaceship or anything like that, but you know,

(24:02):
I'm open to the possibility of of anything. Really, but
got ait evidence for that?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Medium dot com.

Speaker 12 (24:11):
That's the one and just look it up. Yes, I
reckon it's well worth a lot.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Okay, appreciate Simon, thanks for coming. Appreciate that. Thank you.
Twenty one to ten nine dbits Marcus.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Good evening, Good evening. I just finished watching Graham Norton's
show with Jessander Ardirn on it. I had seen some
of the off pats via YouTube, but I really wanted
to get it in context. I can see what I
was watching, and I thought she came across quite reasonably.

(24:44):
But I am a bit of a fan of it,
so I would, I guess.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
And I imagine the people that were not supportive of
who probably wouldn't be watching it, although I've had several
texts from people.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
But yeah, I think the haters will watch this so
they could hate her more, which is an interesting reaction. Remember,
not long after Luxe and I don't even think it
was prime listen yet he said that he couldn't have
done with any better for the first wave of COVID s.

(25:20):
What she did, what this country needed.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Well, I think I think, actually I think they actually
said they should have gone further.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Well personally, I agree, I think it should have gone
for her, but she had to do something.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, hey TV, Yeah, I don't want to I don't
want to get into a whole I was just mind
if I don't want to get into a whole discussion
tonight about about about the government and how they handled
the COVID because to me, that's been four years of
water under the bridge and that that makes for pretty
good that makes for pretty grim talk back.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah, anyway, I got to make one other point. She
was attacked by some way who told them that they
had their life up and very action to that internally
at least, was you may be alive because of what
I did. And I've used that as a yardstick for
a number of other things. But anyway, telephone tapping, I

(26:18):
used to do that as a young teenager, and I
figured it out by myself that you know nine is
one and zero was ten, So the numbers are reversed
when you tap a temphone.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Box, Yes, but you dial one of the numbers, does
you dial the zero?

Speaker 10 (26:41):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (26:43):
And we had a telephone box if anyway, then the
run from us, I went, I want to actually use it.
But I pulled at the front cover just randomly and
it came off. And I hadn't been the first one
inside this telephone because it had a piece of cardboard
over the coin collection area, and there was a tie

(27:06):
of money that hadn't gone into the tank, just sitting
inside this telephone that one devious little child said, oh,
thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
So how what was it open?

Speaker 4 (27:23):
So the main front cover that had the A, B. C.
Buttons they had a lot a lot on it, and
obviously a telephone cobnition had the keys, you know if
they would open that if there's work in that area.
Someone had opened this thing up and when you put
your money and it fell through all the gates and

(27:45):
then fell into a collection tank. They brought the entrance
to this collection tank so that all the coins being
said to this their phone box were calling on top
of the tank and were available behind this cover which
was no longer locked. So I something else had worked out,

(28:06):
had an unlocked phone box bypassed the tank and was
probably going out there every now and then to rake
in the money. I thought it on the tank completely
by accident, and found it was another tank the front
cover and had the cover come off in front of me,

(28:26):
and I went, oh, look at all these one, two
and five said pieces which were in those days with
a fair bit of money. And I was a happy
child for a while.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Sounds like I might have an inside job. Bay.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Well, I could have, but I never gave it really
thought as a child, and so he said just then,
I'd never given any thought whatsoever. I remember doing it.
I also remembering the cover back on, and revisiting the
telephone booth on a few other occasions.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Nice to talk to you, b Thanks so much about
seventeen to nine text. If you want to a call,
we are talking phone booths. Oh eight hundred and eighty
to nine two nine two to text and also yodling free.
Interesting article out today about bottled water and the dangers

(29:16):
of that, which I thought was really interesting since we
talked about that just several weeks ago. I took a
screenshot of where that was. Now, let me tell me
where that is actually. Yeah, the hidden health risks of
bottled water text made me think about that. But yes,

(29:40):
not only are they saying that the plastic is so damaging,
but also the source of those waters where it comes from,
is much much less regulated and checked than you articulated
water you're getting out the pipes, so you just be
a bit careful of that. Although I never want to
see myself as someone has been sort of any role,
sort of a health advisory role. But I just thought

(30:01):
it was timing that that article came in after it
was just a topic we talked about a great depth
last week. So yes, it's a fairly well researched article.
Fifteen from nine Catch You Soon, twelve from nine. Good evening,

(30:23):
Welcome Diane. It's Marcus.

Speaker 18 (30:25):
Hello, Hi, Hi Macus.

Speaker 18 (30:29):
Rang to tell you down your way and Gore. Max McCauley,
he'd be one of the best for his age group around.
And there's Myra something what her other name is, but
she's a fantastic yodler. Also, those are the two, and

(30:51):
usually see them when there's hodowns or competitions on Max McCauley,
you'll see him. He sometimes does it when he's playing
his songs on the internet.

Speaker 19 (31:06):
Yes, it is easy.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Is there a big difference for the god in a
bad yodler?

Speaker 18 (31:12):
Well, I haven't really heard of bad yodler.

Speaker 19 (31:16):
To make boy.

Speaker 18 (31:18):
There's another lady in New Zealand here that I've heard also,
and she usually goes in those the competitions I should
have mentioned she sing it, Gore. Yes, I mean you
start off with doing a wee yodle, and then some

(31:38):
people expand from then, and some people have been doing
it since they were kids. Like I used to do
it when I rode a bark. I used to practice
going backwards and forwards to Feeley, from Winston to Philey.
I remember it was no good and I can only
do two or three little Yeah, what's the key to Paden?

Speaker 3 (32:00):
What's the key to it?

Speaker 18 (32:04):
I wouldn't have a clue. I don't know. I think
it's it's sort of down in your so somewhere, isn't it.
I don't know. But Max would be good to He honestly,
he can make the sound of birds. He's really good. Yeah,

(32:25):
he's really good. He's just a dream to listen to.
Mayra's God to Mayra up from Christ She's she comes
down to Timorrow and she sings and she sinks out
to Mookto. So she's been at it for years and
she's got not a different they've got different yodles. Also,

got a new yoda. She said, I've been working on
the show new Yode. Also, Yes, since she's really good
at it. You know anybody that I've heard that I
haven't heard any new ones coming along.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
It's just he could be. You need some other string
to your buy, wouldn't you.

Speaker 18 (33:12):
Yes, Oh you need to be able to had him
in another string to you. You need to be able
to sing as well.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
She couldn't just be a yodler. People get bored of you.

Speaker 18 (33:23):
Yes they would. Yes, that's that's very true. No, he
he sings that in a song and in the next.
But this the song he might end up singing like
trilling away, like a bird that sounds. But he's got

(33:43):
many different yodels. But if you want to get him
on sometimes he's good.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Bike ride one scim fairly four kilometers.

Speaker 20 (33:54):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
When I was a kid up for what school or
for lessons for school?

Speaker 18 (34:00):
Oh yeah, I used to do dance, highland dancing. So
I went up there too as well, and I bike
up there to go to marching.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
I love marching.

Speaker 18 (34:10):
Oh, yes, it's a great.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Yes, it's really placed. The Bluff Parade. We had two
marching groups. I thought, well, you don't see much marching anymore,
but they tuned up. They're very smart with theirs. What
are their hats called?

Speaker 18 (34:24):
Softball?

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Are those busbies the busbees?

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Yes?

Speaker 18 (34:30):
Yes, No, marching is a great we had. Oh, we went.
We had a social The lady that organized that was
the chief judge from Timoru and we came down to
Gore and we traveled and we went because we were
down there to see the you know, South Island Champs

(34:51):
or New Zealand Champs because they've been held down there.
Another time we went to Nelson. Yes, oh, I was
really really great. And there was John Lloyd, he was
the New Zealand Chief Judge.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
The judges and the Bothwell, okay, I'm gonna run, Dian,
but nice to talk to you. Thank you. Eight to nine, well,
plenty of good text. But if you want to come
through before the now, if you want to come through
before the news, eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty, if
you want to text, it's nine to two, nine to two.

(35:26):
We're talking about comets. No we're not. We are a
little bit or interstellar objects, but mainly we're talking about
phone boxes and yiodling. But yes, we'll be closely guarded secret.
I don't know if there was a trick to finding
out what the phone number of phone booths was, someone

(35:47):
might know. I'm sure that was all In fact, what
was Telecom called before it was Telecom. I's try to
think of that number sometime today, Marcus. I was a
phone tap from the six. There's also stuff paper up
the refund shoot, of course for those who didn't know.
You'd press A once the person answered, or you'd press

(36:09):
B to get your money out, and there would be
some people that wouldn't press A, but there'd be a
code and they get some message from the person they
had phoned. I think that's how it worked, simpler times,
or maybe more complicated times. Now that's what we're on
about tonight. If you've got news no fires so far
to it feels like it's fire's season. Oh so now there.

(36:32):
Now they talk about the inter Islander the Interim Faerry
cal He is heading back to Wellington after bending and
a voyage across the Cook Straight to Pickton. Ship tracking
software showed the vessel leaving Wellington, crossing the Straight for
three pm before turning back from entering the Tory Channel,
and then circled for period in the Straight before heading

(36:54):
slowly back to Wellington. A passenger on board to the
mood Drop when passes were told around eight pm they'd
be returning to Wellington. He said they've been told there
was an issue with the steering, but they've said they
have and full control of the vessel. Whe's a bit
stressed now to you do kneding to now no organize
what's going on. Everyone's a bit stressed now just due

(37:15):
to Kneding to now organize what's going on next time
for accommodation. Kiwi Rawl has been approached for comment. Carlott's
Marcus Welcome.

Speaker 13 (37:24):
Good evening. Just to answer you a question about what
Telecom was called before it became Telecom. It used to
beat New Zealand post Office and on the first of
April nineteen eighty seven it's split into free state owned
enterprises off Telecom post and I think it's post bank.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Makes sense. Yeah, okay, if you're on the ferry, by
the way, give us eyell. Always good to get a
call from the Strait. We are talking yoldling in phone
boxes the last time. It's almost time for the end
of the phone boxes. Well, they've got great memories when
every child walking home from school, we're going to a
phone box to push the button, B severity, money, tap

(38:05):
a phone call, do whatever. Always exciting a phone box.
Someone normally sit like to the phone box. That was
a thing. Boy, boy, tell you what. That was a
mess of Christmas tree. They'd set light to a dim
and wow they got the guy. I just thought it
might be the lights, like kind of thought. That park
of the Pirs are looking quite good there. I wouldn't

(38:26):
call it a piazza, but I know they do. But yes,
it was a nine meter high tree. Puff up and smoke, Jerry,
Good evening.

Speaker 21 (38:37):
Good evening.

Speaker 5 (38:39):
You're just wondering why the faery turned back. There's two
quite strong tids currents meet at the enterance to Tory
Channel and think it can be an extremely rough stretch water.
And if that boat's got any problems with it steering
at wone want to go when there broke.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Okay, so yeah, if you're steerings dodge, you'd stay well clear.

Speaker 9 (39:00):
Right, yep, you got it.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Brilliant good advice, Jerry, Thank you for that. There we go,
turned around and came back. Long day for them. They
have to rebook and go again tomorrow. Get in touch
Marcus till twelve, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine to nine to detects if you want to come
through here till midnight Graham, good evening.

Thank you for greeting us like that. That's good.

Speaker 6 (39:27):
Yeah, we have got the Skettis shows yet. But it's
where it's h created that dropper. Just you're talking about yodling.
I thought I put a call out an appreciation of
the top ones from the Huntley. They were pretty good.
Yola's very good, very good.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, they're very.

Speaker 6 (39:45):
Good yodlers, very nice people too.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Now someone else was a good yodler? Was it? Was
it Jody Vaughan? Was it patsy riga one that was
very good. I remember that's country. Some of them would go
into they'd go break out for yodel section. I think
Jody Vaughan might have been a good yodler. I think
John haul Grenelle he good.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Yodel Yep, I remember him, yep.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Of course, Slim Dusty was a very good yodler. There's
those that yodling, those that can't.

Speaker 6 (40:21):
That's right, and the ones you can are pretty good.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
I think Jody's all might have done in search of
this of the loan. I don't know if she was
a yoda or not. To be fair, Yeah, you're giving
it a go.

Speaker 6 (40:34):
There are some famous There are some famous yodling songs.
She taught me to yo Yodlyn Yoder. Yeah, yeah, that's
the one that comes to mind about thirty forty years ago.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
You don't see kids on the hip parade these days
with a yodling song, do you. It doesn't seem to
it's it's fallen out of favor.

Speaker 17 (40:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
But the top ones are very memorable. I got on
really well with them.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Where did you meet? Where did you run into them?

Speaker 7 (41:05):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (41:05):

two k concert Inua Marta. They were cross schoolings to
hire them. Now, one of them, I thinks my honorary
life member of Game and Fishing or something. Just in
the last few weeks.

They have gone into the fishing way.

Speaker 21 (41:32):

Speaker 3 (41:49):
It's beard with twins and never knows who's who?

Speaker 17 (41:50):
Do you?

Speaker 3 (41:51):
I couldn't tell them I've had to do. I have
no idea.

Speaker 6 (41:55):
I had trouble telling them a part of it when
I really got to know that one one of is
the very famous breast cancer survivor and good, good, good
honor for being a tough lady.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Yes, oh, that's been very interesting from you. I appreciate that.
I think I am reading about yoldling. I think patsy
Riga was a yodler yep from Putatadoo, the shopkeeper's daughter. Yeah,
I think they have. I think they have been using
in the keywing using in the yodling albums, which would
be rare, wouldn't they.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
Yeah, I'm not sure about that, but yeah, okay, I'll.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Let you go. Draymond, thank you. Graham paused a but
you'r guess here my criticizing some of the pause, people
say that I pause a lot. Really let me know
if I am pausing, cause I hate to be the guy.
Don't for the pauses. I wait one hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine nine to text. If you want to
come through, text marcus me again. The Christmas lights are
up on the West Power Light Up West Coast facebook

(42:54):
page competition where people can vote for their favorite one.
This is a guy that lives in a town beginning
with d out of Graymouth. He wants people to vote
for his lights. If you go and do that, he's
in Dobbson go on Facebook to West Power light up.
I don't think it's lights are very good text, Marcus,

(43:14):
who'd you talking about? Christy mccolsty theory. She didn't die
water skiing. She died saving his son when they were
scuba diving in a boat restricted area. She came to
the surface and saw a power boat heading for his
son and pushed him out of the way and go
I hurt herself by the propeller, almost cutting her in half.
Horrific death, which left her son traumatized. They were had

(43:34):
to put cutting her in half in that text. But
she's the woman that sings in the fairy Tale of
New York. I could have been someone oh so good?
Anyone what I like about the fairy Tale of New York.
They don't play it during the year, although you could
play it during the year. It's good enough because it's
not too Christmas e. If you know what I'm saying,

(43:56):
people like it. When I say text before the text,
I'm keeping saying that she was young when she died,
well tried things to say, isn't it be in touch
if you want to talk? She was in a designated

(44:16):
diving area. Didn't see, doesn't say she's chopped in half.
The person who drove the boat was a multi millionaire
president of the commercial Mexicanos supermarket chain. Found guilty two
years and ten months in prison. Paid sixty three pounds
in lieu of the prison sentence. Justice didn't seem to

(44:38):
be served Anyhow do you get in touch? You on
to talk Marcus till midnight tonight, Jeff, it's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Welcome, Heah GREENI Marcus. Just regarding phone boxers, well, to
be quite honest, I don't think I've seen one in
the buy plenty here for such a long time, but
just about non existent. There used to be one here
and one there, but now I think they've just gone

(45:13):
because people have got cell phones.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Is it all you rung to say?

Speaker 6 (45:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Well, on the early days of using a phone box,
I was not. When I was in Australia and I
wanted to bring New Zealand, I had to get a
stack of coins, twenty cent pieces and put them, put
them on the top of the phone box, and what's

(45:40):
the credit? It used to it used to cost me
so much money to bring New Zealand from Australia. That's
probably back in about nineteen seventy two seventy three. But
then they had the New Zealand. They used to have
the card ones. You could buy a card and put

(46:03):
it in, but the credit used to go pretty fast.

Speaker 9 (46:09):
So now.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
You'd be lucky if you.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
Jeere just revisiting your topic, right, you know how you
say that? Did you say I always get Are you
at the Bay of Plenty?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Yeah, I'm on the Bay of Plenty.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Okay, just stick stay with me with us. You know
how they're talking about getting getting rid of the phone
boxes now right? I think when people talk about the
phone boxes now, what they are talking about is those
spark things that you wouldn't really call a phone box.
But what would you call them, dan, What would you
call them? They're more like just a plastic shelter you
go into. They're not really a box per se with

(46:42):
a door. They're like two or three walls and you
just shelter under them. You cross that?

Speaker 21 (46:49):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (46:49):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (46:52):
You know what they're getting rid of now are the
spark ones. You wouldn't call them a phone box I've
just got like three sides to them, and you just
kind of poke into there and do your calls in there.
You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 (47:03):
No, I don't.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
I think they have them. I'll look on Google. I'll
look on Google Maps for you, okay, because I think
you have got them.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Well, put it this way. I haven't seen a phone
box around this area.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Yeah, I don't think you're not so long. Yeah, I don't.
I don't want to get into a fight with you
about phone boxes, but I suspect they're still there.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Oh I haven't seen one.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
No, but that doesn't been. That don't exist. Are you
someone that travels far?

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yeah, well i'll go to tower. I'll bring here and
bring There's Home's home for you?

Speaker 9 (47:40):
What was that?

Speaker 3 (47:41):
We's home? What phone? Where's home? Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:46):
I don't know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Where do you live, pep ma? Oh brilliant. I thought
you might be pepper Man.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Think there's a there used to be one here at
a dairy down the road here and then then the
phone box disappeared.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Yeah, I'm just looking on Google Street via Sasity in
Cameron Street. Maybe they're out and he maybe what's your
mer caor that lives in Cambridge. Maybe he's got rid
of them.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Wow, I don't know anyway. That's all I've got to
say about it.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Okay, you've got a lot to say. I appreciate that.
Thank you. Brilliant. Are they become fixated?

Speaker 22 (48:25):
Now?

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Are there phone boxes? They mightn't be. It's coming past
the KFC on Google Maps. But I wouldn't call it
a phone. But you call it a stupid chaosk. That's
what you call it? A kiosk. What an awful word
that is kiosk? It be a kiosk? What a fast

(48:47):
food and toong? Isn't there? The Leordys complain without that
main street, don't they say? The main street's not up
to much. A lot of empty shops or a lot
of empty shops, I'll say anyway, I don't know what's
going on there. Twenty past nine. It's called a phone booth.
I don't think it's called a phone booth, Marcus. Sometimes

(49:11):
when I'm tuning back, and as he'd be with a
doll on the trendsittor, I go past the station before
using my eyes to put the leed on the correct number,
waiting a few seconds and r S theory is it's
just Marcus pausing or whatever. I think it's called a
phone box.

Speaker 20 (49:28):
Mount Helbert Woo Wood Road. Just down from the railway lines.
On the right hand side, there's still an old telephone
BOOTHSTT the old the cover overreck they used to the
bus used to go through there years ago. Woodwood Road
mantelbot neither just past the railway lines.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
I think I do remember seeing that.

Speaker 20 (49:53):
Yeah, and they've still got the little books hanging down both.
It's the old telephone books attached to it on the.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
On the Richardson Road side of wood Would Road.

Speaker 20 (50:03):
Yeah, coming down, coming down New North Road, you're turned
down by where the garage is on the corner there,
and then you go along.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Woodwood Road from over the railway track.

Speaker 20 (50:16):
Yeah, over the railway track on the right hand side.
And when you're just going around the corner a bit
on the right hand side, there's a little plastic telephone
book boxmth oh. You put a little handle and it's
got button A for connecting and button B when you've
got your money back.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
I have to look at Google Maps for that one.
Thank you, Leness, I appreciate that. Here we go, My pleasure,
my pleasure, my pleasure, good clipper off the fairies returning.
So I think we're across that, right, So we broke
that story. I know, we say someone texted me, so
we do it. By the way, there's been a fatal
and palms to north crash, oh boy, right in town

(50:54):
Fitzubert Road, east of the city, State High fifty six.
That's been a while. That was midday, so probably people
are across that. And if there's something else you want
to talk about tonight, I'll be up before hearing from you.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two
nine two to text anything goes here till twelve. Talk

(51:14):
about phone boxes and tapping them or wringing them. I
love that guy that had his mate that had a
phone box outside his house. They'd ring it. Sounds brilliant,
sounds like the back part of it. New's in a
movie having that going on. By the way, the Outback Wrangler,
I don't know much about the Outback Wrangler, but he's
going to jail. He's a reality staff from Australia to

(51:36):
be big than the Australia papers. I don't even know
if that was a show in New Zealand, but he
lied about his helicopter maintenance. As we all know with
helicopter maintenance you never lie about that because that's serious.
So yes, he's in trouble. That's happened. Phone box have
gone the same way as fire call buttons on lamb
posts and public What I have forgotten about those? Of
course they were there, weren't they forgotten all about those

(52:01):
big in the day Hurrah twenty three past nine, twenty
five past nine people phone box phone booths rather or
phone boxes. I guess you'd call them both. Not a kiosk,
Yes and Kensington av Mount Eden adjacent to public walkway
and outs at a home. People w queue to make

(52:23):
free international calls from the red box when we moved.
There are kids that were popular getting lots of visitors.
There is an original phone box in the Octagon in
Dneeda and you can see it on Google street View.
Sounds like Spark wants to save and shave costs. Most
of Spark's public phone boxes also have free Wi Fi.

(52:45):
Kill two booths with one stone. They are around tadog
phones on a pole with a plastic shroud over them,
A shroud yep. I have answered a couple of calls
made to phone boxes. The old ones had the box
number cunningly headed in the middle of the dial, so

(53:06):
go TOFI the box would report in faults with it.
These numbers may not have been listed on the exchanges.
Both calls answered with the exchange ringing back with the
toll chargers. If the fairy had steering problems, it will
not have entered the restricted navigatory of the sounds of
case it jumps inshore oh Wait one hundred eighty ten

(53:28):
eighty Marcus. In the late nineteen sixties, when my oldest
brother Tom was in his last year of college or
had just commenced his working life, we went for He
went for a night out with a mate, Gan, whom
lived about half a mile from Willington Zoo. My parents
were awakened before dawn, my brother Tom arriving home very late.

(53:48):
He had to explain we was about to let gang
go into his home. After they got out of my
brother's car, they both had to dash into a nearby
phone box as a tiger came walking towards them. Emergency
called out to wait unto the box till police and
zoo staff arrived. As two libers escaped. There tigers escaped
their enclosure. One was recaptured by darting, the other shot

(54:11):
and killed. It wasn't till morning radio and news did
Mum and Dad fully believe him regards Robin far Fetch
story fact checked pans out exactly as mentioned in that text.
So wow, one of the tigers was shot and killed.
It's a bad day for the zoo. They've killed the

Thanks very much. But just by the way, Nina, someone's
asked what you do when you're not reading the news.

(55:49):
It's a strange. It's a strange question, isn't it, Because
it says, yeah, I had to google your name to
find it. It says, hi, Marcus, I love the way
Nina reads the news particularly, isn't that sweet? I love
the way Needa? Yeah, made mine too, Marcus. I love
the way Nina reads the news. What does she do
in the studio in between? Regards Buller image sink You're
sitting there and when it comes around at nine o'clock,

(56:09):
you read and then you just sort of go back
to reading your novel. Well that's not quite how it works.

Speaker 6 (56:13):
Is it.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
No, it's very busy.

Speaker 23 (56:15):
This is a very busy shift because I do other
affiliate news bulletins, so I put other bulletins together for
other stations. I do your headlines at nine point thirty,
I put this live bulletin together, yes, and put the
sport in and do my weather, so I do the
weathers for the night, and I also do all the
overnight bulletins as well.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Yes, so you're flat out. You're going out to a
desk where other journal reporters are journalists there and you're
typing stuff and in collating bulletins. Yes, and then you are,
and then you're doing them to the feeder stations around
the country, which would be classic hits and things like that.

Speaker 9 (56:46):
Is that right?

Speaker 21 (56:46):
Well?

Speaker 23 (56:47):
Yes, and Radio a Rema you do this? Okay, Well
Radio Arema is actually quite a big bulletin. That's four
minutes because that's weather as well as spit.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Okay, yeah, okay, okay, So what so you're actually flat
It's not like you read this and go over a
nap and dog your nails. It's like you're flat out
the whole time. Aren't leant out the whole time?

Speaker 23 (57:03):
And once we kick off throughout the evening from seven,
like the most time I would have would be well,
because I have the half hour up you updates now, Yes,
And I get out of the studio from my lives
ZB at say six or seven past, and then I'm
doing stuff and I'm back and here at half past
and then I've got to be back and to do
the affiliates by about twenty two, soly.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
I probably shit, could you I've talked to you for
so long now You're going to be rushing this whole
half hour, aren't you? Because you? Yes, I'm going to be.

Speaker 23 (57:30):
That's made my day though, that person saying that.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Yeah, I thought it would. Okay, my pleasure and thank
you and thanks for the explanation. There you go, Paula,
it's what you need to know. She's flat out affiliate stations. Yeah,
I don' think we own radio, remember, by the way,
I think we just done. I think we do the
news for them. Hello Marcus, I've brought my wife a
new car for Christmas. We are heading over to Wellington

(57:52):
on the Kaitaki two fifteen sailing tomorrow to pick it up.
Do you have any information of this fairy will sail tomorrow?
No information to say if it's canceled, nothing online. I
need to know before we leave. Christ Judge Gee Strong
worded email from Mitch Dan. We don't know more than
Mitch those if we get information, we're just googling, like
he'd be googling, wouldn't he. Yeah, we're just we having

(58:12):
got some hotline to Keywi rail. But we're just muggles.
So yeah, we don't know. But I would imagine. Yeah,
but look at you with a new car driving up.
Why is it not a surprise we are heading over
to Wellington. Yeah, there's no surprise, is it. Then it's

(58:35):
a great key we think is that to buy cars
they have to travel to get them. Often people and
Bluff are heading up to willing It or christ Church
to pick up cars, often flying up to grab a
car they've brought on trade me or or auto trader
or something.

Speaker 7 (58:51):
More.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Often you could think you don't think about that, people
buying cars driving around the country. Oh, texts are very
good tonight, Well some of them are. I've lost them
all now I've done something weird with it. I don't
know if I'm back. I just went and had a

(59:12):
look on the line up West Coast. The man from
Dobson has my vote. A lot of hard work goes
and to put them up, I hope he gets more votes. Well,
doneder him. Oh that's a good point. My late father
in law, Brian Jackson, had thexagonal phone booth outside of museum,
which was the old Devonport post office. Jane, thank you, Jane.
Well he was an interesting guy, Brian Jackson. Boy or

(59:34):
boy could he talk? I interviewed him. But boy did
he have a lot to say about his museum. She haponistics.
I'll read it. It's no wonder Nina can't suppress a
yawn after all that work is. That's right. It was
famous her yawn. There was a yawn heard around the world.
Marcus a child. I remember a phone box at Lyle Bay, Willington.

(59:54):
People to ring it asking for surfers or swimmers are
out in the water. You had to yet out to
see Hey, Pete, someone on the phone for you. Then
the tell they caller Pete can't come to the phone
at the moment. It was crazy, Marcus, just being you
while listen at night during the week. Awesome stuff. Heavy
Christmas to you, Christmas Tree regards. Karen love me. Karen's

(01:00:16):
welcome people. If you want to be a part of
the show. We are talking about funny things you've done.
With phone boxes. Yes, by the way, dialing one nine
five seven and New Zealand reads back the number you're
dialing from, not a service or number to dial too.
It's a feature of a check in your own number.

(01:00:38):
But I guess if you went to a phone box
and dialed one nine seven five, it would give you
a number, wouldn't it. Maybe this football's cook kicked out
and they are playing to an empty stadium. How could
this competition be sustainable? This is a Central Coast Mariners CCM,
and they would be I presume in Gosford. I think

(01:01:00):
that's with it. But there's four people in the audience.
I don't know why, because I mean it seems to
be quite well well, I guess I don't know. I
can't answer that they've taken off at the rate of knots.
It's a fast paced game, but there's no one. I
don't want, I don't want to sound down on that.
But jeepest creepers. This old World Cup, this football World

(01:01:21):
Cup in America, doesn't look good, does it? With tickets
so expensive? No surprises there anyway. I'm looking forward to
hearing from you people who want to talk about these
topics or anything else we are talking yodling and the
end of phone boxes, because who would use phone boxes

(01:01:47):
apart from I think even the overseas fishermen now have phones.
That's yodling for you and get in touch if you
want to talk about this. By the way, the Tutarpari
Sports Day, which happens every year one hundred and thirty
five years. This will be the last year I have
gone for that. A number of times I've been competed there.

(01:02:10):
Great day, but small town and these have cycling, they
have track, cycling and all sorts of things. But yeah,
it's just changed. The volunteers don't want to care. Think
about small towns living in small towns. Boy oh boy,
you rely on a lot of volunteers in small towns
because you've still got the clubs and they all need
people to do it. And boy do they chew up people.

(01:02:32):
Small towns with volunteers say yeah, that's what's happening. That's
no longer going to be. It's one of the great
institutions to South. I guess once upon a time everyone
will get the train from in Vericargo to to Tarpari
and go to the sports day. Of course, there's no
train there anymore, and it's not what it once was. However,
I'd digress. Anyone's doing anything interesting tonight, it will be

(01:02:53):
nice to hear from you. I'm doing something interesting. I'm
at work. Yeah, but get in touch twenty one away
from ten o'clock head on midnight. I am interested with anyone.
It worked as a cop in the London. If they
can talk about those police boxes how they worked. Hello, Calvin,
this is Marcus. Welcome, Oh good evening.

Speaker 17 (01:03:15):
Here are you good?

Speaker 14 (01:03:16):
Calvin box phone box at the top of the season,
to you too, love your program, but it's been listening
to it all year. These phone box Remember when Telecom
took post office got taken over Telecom they were going
to in christ each year they started painting all the
red phone boxes blue.

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
I don't remember that, but yep, they painted them blue.

Speaker 14 (01:03:46):
And some people in the way to the post I
was building branch and there's a camp and then some
of the painting side of it had the painters and
they'd go around and had one guy used to I
had different guys throughout the whole year, but basically his
old Joe was just going in and repair the glass
and phone boxes were broken. Glass in it. There they

(01:04:07):
knocked all the glass out and discrewed polycarb over the
top of the whole bloody side, and so got sick
of replacing broken glass. But they part Telecom got taken
over a post of US Telecom took over and they
started painting them blue. But there was one in bly Ab,

(01:04:28):
and they seemed to surmise they think it was a
couple of ex painters that had taken their severance and
disappeared from the post office, the one on bly Abb
and Manchester Street corners in amongst the trees. I'm on
bly Ab and there's a dairy officer and there was
a call come through somewhere that this phone box had

(01:04:49):
magically turned red from blue. They think a couple of
painters must have knew they'd get the old post off
was red paint from Raisine or jew Luxe and whipped
in there and slap painted the guy and the dairy
told somebody they reckoned.

Speaker 9 (01:05:03):
They were only there.

Speaker 14 (01:05:04):
About ten to fifteen minutes and the whole phone box
turned red again, and then they ran off, jumped in
the car and drove off.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
I hadn't thought about that, but that'd be a thankless job.
For the Indian Post to it to do the maintenance
for phone boxes, because boy, they've got a tough time.

Speaker 14 (01:05:22):
Ah they Yeah, sometimes have been out or help. You know,
we go out a couple maybe two of us. We
replaced the roof on one of mcfenden's road one day
near Martin Rooney and then there was a Sometimes the
doors would be smashy, have to replace the door or
fix the door or the panels with the whole because
the glass was only like that eight inches square or

(01:05:44):
ten inches square and a messive. But then a painter
he was been all day just going around from phone
box to phone box for placing, cutting the glass, passing
it and fixing it up. And then you know, and
then they decided, well cheap to just screw a piece
of polycarb over top of the whole buddy side, and

(01:06:04):
then they started, you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
I was going to say, Kelvin, they never smelt great
because I think for a lot of people they doubled
up as a urinal after the publicy. I don't know why,
but anyway, it seemed to be a bizarrely but yeah,
always smelt terrible.

Speaker 14 (01:06:19):
I was working later on at a dairy and Limard
av on the corner of Gloucester. Limard called round about
dairy and there was something having the shop and next
to a woman came out and there was two of them,
they kiddies and pushed chairs and crems and expert. She
told us, oh, just go down there, she said, go

(01:06:39):
down there. Just bag her off. Go down there. And
there's a phone box about a couple of meters there
on the road. And next wild like happen, this what
the hell's running out under the phone box. The kid
must have wanted to go the tour that she just
started to go down the phone box and pissing the
bone box and the urines running. And he's known about four.
Even they wouldn't be going to school. He might have

(01:07:01):
only been about three or four. I thought he's got
a great education. And yeah, she told him get down there,
go down there, just get down there.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
I don't remember if they did paint them blue, but
you might be right. I can't kind of remember that.

Speaker 14 (01:07:19):
I'm not sure if it was around the whole country.
But Telecom, you know when they split.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
Up their cell with a new go with a new branding.

Speaker 14 (01:07:28):
Yeah, they Telecom took over the technicians and the phone
side of the post office branch. And then the band
took over the banking.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
And and yes it is, It is true, it says
on Ai, yes you said, and paint its iconic red
phone box is pale blue in nineteen eighty eight. Is
a deliberate change by Telecom, sparking public debate, often called
the telephone box war, as when you prefer the additional red.
Those some red and green ones remain today, especially in

(01:07:59):
places like christ Church, as nostalgic relics. Okay, the telephone box.
I don't remember it, but you're quite right.

Speaker 14 (01:08:08):
The wizard he was up and arms and he started
a protest. And because you know, when they started shutting
a lot of post offices and post little we post
office in the oh they were you know, dotted around
Critis or Hus and Ebb and Beach Road and Bassett Street,
all these little post offices. They just started closing them up.

(01:08:30):
And there was all this savior. I've got some stickers
here somewhere save their post office. And you know there
was a big rolling giant moving forward to conduct everything into.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
You've got very good recall. Hey, by the way, isn't
the Wizard doing well? I think he's just ninety four.
I think he's had a birthday. So he's gone, well,
isn't he?

Speaker 20 (01:08:50):
Is he?

Speaker 24 (01:08:51):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:08:53):
Still alive?

Speaker 14 (01:08:54):
Is he still alive?

Speaker 9 (01:08:55):
Okay?

Speaker 14 (01:08:56):
Yeah, yeah, Ian Ian something.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
I breckon Bridge or something? Is it breck not Breckonty Bridge.
Us to go on the head. I've got to run.
But nice to talk to you. Nice to hear someone
so fit chickable to ten eleven from ten Hi, Lindsey,
this is Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:09:17):
Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 11 (01:09:20):
Marcus didn't see from V Cargo. There's a phone box
beside the Civic Theater and in V Cargo and they
had traditional one there and it was repainted when the
post office split up. And I used to tear around
town with my video camera and there's a whole group

(01:09:43):
of people there repainting it this night or this afternoon.
And guess who it was.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
I can't guess.

Speaker 11 (01:09:52):
The wizards from christ Church. Oh, and I interviewed him. Goodness,
you know, I've still got the footage somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
Guests, So was that what were you filming him for?

Speaker 11 (01:10:08):
What was that, Marcus?

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
What were you filming for?

Speaker 10 (01:10:12):
Well?

Speaker 11 (01:10:12):
I used to have in a video camera and tea
around town that all ours for news items for TV
and z it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Okay, you a stringer.

Speaker 11 (01:10:24):
And I used to work with Noel Lee. He was
the main cameraman in a Vcicago. Sure, and there is
a photo somewhere of the Wizard standing on tire of
the phone boxing in Vcago.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
Is the phone box still there?

Speaker 11 (01:10:43):
They've got the new type there?

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
Okay? What do happen to the old one?

Speaker 11 (01:10:48):
I don't know, but I had one of the old
traditional phone boxes and I donated it to the Telecom
New Zealand in Cago.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
Oh is that.

Speaker 11 (01:10:59):
Down to the old ARA radio?

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (01:11:02):
Yes, yeah. So when that guy mentioned about the Wizard,
will he come down here? And I thought, well, give
you a run to tell my story.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
So I'm seeing shots of the Wizard on phone boxes.
It seemed like it was quite a big deal.

Speaker 11 (01:11:20):
Yeah, well that one that I've looked dead. He was
on top of the phone box and it was a
number cargo. Who would have thought, yeah, I'll see if
I can find it online somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
It seems like he was quite involved with the Imperial
Army as well, that we're doing things else Imperial Army
that were involved with saving the letter boxes too, or
there by the postboxes.

Speaker 11 (01:11:41):
Thanks, because let's who these other guys were, and I
didn't know they're already stopped like the red slots from that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
Like it ain't have hot mummy instead of be ELFs
Imperial Army and the delayed adolescence. Eight away from ten.
Thank you for that, lindsay back after the break. Now
score on the football. Four Oh, there's a goal in
the football. I look up at the screen and they're
just celebrating. I haven't seen the goal, but I can
see that the scorer is one. Nill. The coach is
talking to himself and drinking bottled water. Well, that's a problem.

(01:12:11):
CCM zero Auckland Mariner's one and I'm just looking at
the goal. Wow, it's a funny old replay. That replay
went far too back. You've gone right back for about
a minute. Away looked off side to me. Wouldn't surprise
they go upstairs on that one. But was a clear
shot to the corner of the goal. The guy was

(01:12:33):
waiting an off side position could be reviewed. Don't quote
me on that. The camera angle might have been strange, Thans,
you do quote me, Actually, don't quote me. Four from ten.
It's been given text if you can oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty phone booth and yodling. It's a
discussion so far. There is a red phone box on

(01:12:56):
a residual property on Stowbo Street Invert. Cargo bought two
phone boxes from Winnington Council in nineteen eighty nine a partner.
One of them one to fifty bucks six. They was
surprisingly heavy. Had to use a tract to lift them
off my trailer. No way two men could lift them.
Don't know what would they were made of? What about
doctor who? Someone says, Marcus just caught the end of

(01:13:20):
the chat about two loose tigers. I wasn't waiting to
nineteen sixty seven, training for my drafting job with n
zp O and staying with my brother who fed in
Corimental Street, Newtown. We'd been there out on the bees,
walked home this Friday or Saturday night to hear the
morning the tigers escape from the door. We laughed it off,
but on reflection, we were pretty lucky. Marcus. Way back

(01:13:44):
in nineteen sixty sixty nine, a group of us would
finish work at nine pm on a Friday at James
Smiths and Wennington. We'd walk around to the beach Comber
Coffee Barn, Oriental Bay and on the way stop off
at all the phone boxes and we'd squash into the
phone boxer, phone boxer, about six of us. Clear. Yep,
very good. Someone says the jore Ona is getting pushed

(01:14:04):
by a tug, so not only we're not getting a
new ferries till nineteen twenty twenty nine, but also we're
not getting an ocean going tug, which makes the government
look laughable. I'm taking this on authority about the tug,
but yep, I'll google that Into Island are getting pushed
by a tug and that's I think we've only got

(01:14:27):
the ocean going lease on tug Ocean going tag on
Lise if that's the way. So that's not good at all?
Is it just trying to google if I'm getting more
information about that? But yeah, Kai Rahi and tug, I'm
just saying anything about that. I'll do my best. Seven
past ten truck driver James seven past ten truck driver

(01:14:52):
James has sent me a picture of a burnt out
government speed camera trailer. Pretty extraordinary. Scientist somee was obviously
set light to one of those. Unless it's come set
light to itself. Check it on Facebook with your Dan.
It looks like it's Ranuie or somewhere. That's a guess,

(01:15:15):
but wow, it'll be cattnaup to the conspress. Oh, by
the way, the last episode of Neighbors has screened. How
was that?

Speaker 21 (01:15:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:15:24):
If you do want to comment, Merry Christmas Marks. I
built a new phone box copied off the old red
one that's at Karaka Bay. Wellington didn't know what to
do with at the end, so and turned to a
portable shower. It's got Infinity LPG hotwater unit and pressure pump.
It's a bloody good shower. Thank you for that. Another
discovery this year is the TV show The Floor. Oh

(01:15:45):
it's a fake. That picture, by the way, take it off.
Dan thought it might be Perry Ao made it look
like a fire. Yeah, okay, thanks for that. It looks
pretty good, so yeah, cheer it's tricky old a now
thanks for telling me that. Next other one it would
be embarrassed to put that up. He can tell it's Ai.

(01:16:07):
But thanks to both James and the Perth of Texas
that it's a fake. All the world's getting complicated, by
the way, one all of the football now just I'd
actually be just driving around town during the news to
charge my phone and quite busy in the cargo. Well,
there's people doing laps in the pub seem kind of full.

(01:16:29):
It's the big Christmas race day too. I was going
to take the kids, but it's R eighteen the race day.
Forty dollars for admission in R eighteen. Well that's the
big Christmas knees up down here. Oh yeah, that's the
that's the one.

Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:52):
Now I do realize, as you said before, no I
don't understand what your text and O six and tell
me some more about that people. By the way, the
thing with the interna, it might have just beginning to
tug at the end for docking. It probably hasn't done.
The tug didn't go into the ocean. I understand, Ellison,
this is Marcus. Marcus is zealous at good evening, Hello.

Speaker 8 (01:17:13):
Macauss our neighbors is very good. I might do an
early prediction, and so I think it might come back
again because I've listed open now. It looked like they're
all going to set up, but Susan Dugger hills and
she says, no, I'm not going to leave. I'm going
to stay on the street. And that was the end.
So I've got hope that it might be revived. At
what I say, it was much better this time. The

(01:17:33):
first time around when they stopped it three years ago,
they stopped at the two people lot were going to
get two couples are going to get married. And when
they restarted again, the couple that they changed it all around,
and when they started up again the couple that were
going to get married at all, it's marrying somebody else
and it was all mixed up, and I didn't like it. Well,
that couple that should have got married and have now

(01:17:54):
got married on this at the end of this one.
So that's sort of that out, which is good.

Speaker 3 (01:17:58):
Yeah, So was it a disaster or any cameos or
anything not.

Speaker 8 (01:18:04):
They bought some of the characters back, but not one
not the original characters, not like Carly and all those ones.
They didn't bring any of those ones back, but they
did bring some other ones back, some younger ones that
came back, which was which was good. Yeah, very good.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
Yeah, you're watching an online Allison. Was it online or
was a TV channel screening it?

Speaker 17 (01:18:24):
It was great.

Speaker 8 (01:18:25):
It was not one line yesterday and they didn't have
it on a tour yesterday, but they had a double
episode today an hour today two TV two repeat it
and you can watch it. Watch it the repeats next
week if anyone that wanted to see it. There are

(01:18:46):
repeats in the early morning. I think if you wanted
to tape it, you could tape it in the early
one they get they do repeat it the following week
in an unusual time. Is what I would say. In
the early morning.

Speaker 17 (01:18:58):
Something that Yeah, who made that?

Speaker 8 (01:19:05):
I'm not well they changed across there, didn't they? Who
ever took it up and some now they can't afford
to having our freebie author r F R something Amazon.

Speaker 3 (01:19:18):
Yeah they took it over, I think, yeah, okay, right, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:19:20):
Yeah, and they couldn't afford I don't think they took
it for three years, but then they can't afford to
carry on. But they are quite happy. The actors that
pulled out now they stop a wee while ago now,
but they are quite happy because now they can do
some of the things that they couldn't do before. They
are quite happy. Some of the older characters. I did
see one interview there. Susan and Carl are the two
main characters, and he's happy. Now he can get in

(01:19:42):
the garden to do this and do that. He's had
a lot of music. He can go into music now,
tour with his music whatever. But not so good for
the younger characters, you know when they just started out
and they probably would have to find more acting jobs now. Yeah,
but the older ones not so bad.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Here will you sound up the US into quite a
long chip review lot? How long you've been watching that for?

Speaker 8 (01:20:06):
Well, I haven't been there all the time. I must
admit I haven't been there from the start. I only
really came in in the last probably three four years
something like that, and I got hopped up when Kylie
came back and I started getting interested again, and that's
when I I thought, well I carry on when they
stopped and started and they said, oh yes, preaser there
and stay there. So I've stayed there from that last

(01:20:28):
two years probably so maybe law for two or three years.
But I do like the characters. I've got great, great acting,
and the young people and the young children and are
very very good act actress, little girls on that early
five or six years old, and they're so wonderful. How
they get their irons right.

Speaker 16 (01:20:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:46):
Nice to hear from me, Alison, thank you for that, Carol.
It's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:20:51):
Hello Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:20:53):
He stood up in memory regarding the red telephone boxes.
In nineteen forty eight, when my brother Bill Miller was fifteen,
he began working at the new Market workshops for the
New Zealand Post Office and they made those red telephone boxes.

Speaker 9 (01:21:13):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 3 (01:21:13):
Yes?

Speaker 17 (01:21:14):
I do.

Speaker 19 (01:21:16):
This is what I remember. I rememberably coming home and
his eyes were listening. He was an apprenticed cabinet maker
and they learned a lot of their cabinet making skills
on those telephone boxes.

Speaker 12 (01:21:33):
Do look at those telephone.

Speaker 10 (01:21:35):
Boxes, Marcus.

Speaker 19 (01:21:36):
There's a lot of skill.

Speaker 10 (01:21:38):
There was a lot.

Speaker 19 (01:21:38):
Would they were made, Yes, And as I said, he well,
that was one of his learning as a cabinet maker,
and they learned a lot of I don't know measurements
anyway on those telliphone boxes.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
And he probably he probably did his apprenticeship with the
post office as a building he did.

Speaker 14 (01:22:01):
Yes.

Speaker 19 (01:22:02):
But here's something else I was just thinking. He was fifteen,
nineteen forty eight, and I remember him getting his first
job because we were raised in k Road, Newton and
Ponsonbury Road area. Anyway, he got a job with the
New Zealand Post Office as a telegram boy.

Speaker 10 (01:22:22):
That's when they deliver it on a pushbike.

Speaker 19 (01:22:25):
And he was going down House Street and k Road, Marcus.
The brakes had given away, you know.

Speaker 24 (01:22:35):
How do you know how street there?

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
Very well?

Speaker 19 (01:22:39):
Oh yes, he was delivering a telegram. The brakes gave
away and on the crossroad down there, mister he went.

Speaker 24 (01:22:49):
Through a car.

Speaker 19 (01:22:51):
He got it anyway, and I remember him coming home
with bandages and everything, and I think that's how he
probably got the offer of an apprenticeship there with the
you know post Office and new at workshops.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
How long did you stay with them before.

Speaker 19 (01:23:11):
He completed his four years with with the post office
cabinet maker because he's another export now unfortunately he lives.

Speaker 6 (01:23:21):
Over in Australia.

Speaker 19 (01:23:22):
Oh well, okay, but there's another one about another workshop
to who workshop?

Speaker 6 (01:23:30):
Uncle Tom, who came from the Stick.

Speaker 10 (01:23:33):
He was in the Second World War.

Speaker 19 (01:23:34):
He worked there and I remember we had two American shells,
real shells, and he took them because he was at
the workshop, and he chromed them. Can you imagine two
very at all the shells and we use them for vases,

(01:24:00):
but he chromed them. I've never forgotten that. So there
was a workshop.

Speaker 3 (01:24:06):
Did your brother go to Australia as a builder or
in retirement?

Speaker 19 (01:24:10):
No, No, he's fell in love with a girl from Melbourne.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Oh you got on them.

Speaker 11 (01:24:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:24:18):
She stayed here twelve years and they went back and
one of their sons is in the police force, been
there for years. And his brother said, oh, you often
saw him on TVM. You know I won't go into
that anyway, you know, he went over there unfortunately years.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
Caroll are used to in Auckland.

Speaker 10 (01:24:44):
Yes, I'm out here at wy is brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Nice to hear from your Carol eighteen past ten. Of
course to take him, but I mean imagine that, you know,
making a phone box wouldn't be easy, all the framing,
all the windows, or the beating. Get in touch hit

a rolling brief on news. You news, so get in touch.

Anything else it'd be nice to hear from you tonight.
Across most of the news. I can't see anything else
that we've missed. Poor odd Timado they've set light to

(01:25:34):

actually know what the piazza is it the area down
where they have all the Christmas thing?

Speaker 6 (01:25:42):
Is that that?

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
Or is that? I can ever quite We got where
the piazza is, but they're not replacing it. They've got
the guy that did it.

Speaker 6 (01:25:49):
The perp.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
Well, yeah, I suppose you're too you Yeah, who knows
why they've done it? It hasn't gone down well, not
a crime of passion. Nineteen past ten, pot set a
whole lot with my mic not on looking forward to
what you've got to say anyway. Eight hundred and nine
two nine to de text. Be good to hear from you. Hello,

(01:26:12):
Lynni's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 18 (01:26:16):
Hello.

Speaker 25 (01:26:18):
I'm in my eighties and i'd just write to tell
you about when I was ten and a phone box.
Great so the girlfriend and I who she was ten. True,
we used to do the older girls on Friday nights
and Saturday nights. Where used to man the telephone box
for them. They four teenage girls, sixteen seventeen around at

(01:26:44):
that kind of age. They used to voice, and she
used to ring the telephone box to tell them when
they'd be picked up and where they were going to
be going and a girlfriend and I we used to
get paid a penny a call. Were used to stand
there by the box and when the telephone box rang,
we used to answer it and then go running off

(01:27:06):
whoever's house it.

Speaker 16 (01:27:07):
Was to get the girl.

Speaker 25 (01:27:09):
And they used to girls used to pay us a
penny each time we answered for them, and the end.

Speaker 7 (01:27:16):
Of their lipstick.

Speaker 25 (01:27:18):
We of course, you know, and have lipstick. When they
sort of got to the end of the lipstick, they
used to give.

Speaker 20 (01:27:26):
It to us.

Speaker 25 (01:27:27):
So it was we thought it was a pretty good deal.

Speaker 12 (01:27:32):
Lyn.

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Whereabouts was this?

Speaker 25 (01:27:35):
This was in christ Church and Downingtown in christ Church?

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
Okay? And you were twelve or thirteen?

Speaker 5 (01:27:45):
Were you?

Speaker 8 (01:27:46):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:27:46):
No?

Speaker 25 (01:27:46):
I was ten. For the older girls, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
And two questions did they did the homes not have phones?

Speaker 25 (01:27:56):
No, there was no phone in the street at all.

Speaker 26 (01:27:59):
Was only telephone?

Speaker 3 (01:28:01):
Okay? And tell me something, Lynn, Because was it common
for people to have the phone number of the phone booths?

Speaker 25 (01:28:09):
I think it must have been, because I mean, as
I said, the boyfriends used to be bringing the girls,
so they didn't always have the same boyfriend, so obviously
they've got the number from somewhere, but we were too
young to.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Worry about the hot summer's night on the street waiting
for the phone doing sounds great.

Speaker 25 (01:28:27):
Oh, yes, well we used to do all sorts of
you know, play hot scotch and do all sorts of
things waiting for the telephone box to ring.

Speaker 3 (01:28:36):
And you only got paid when it rang. That was
interesting too, wasn't it.

Speaker 25 (01:28:40):
Yes, well, we got paid when it rang, and we
used to run they you know, like, you know, I
wanted to talk to Lorna and we used to run
off to Launa's house and you know, bang on the
door and you know, gonna you know, a telephone call
for you, and then she'd you know, get to the
telephone box.

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
And yeah, so it must have been the hub of
the community at the phone box.

Speaker 25 (01:29:02):
Well put it this way. I mean it was the
only one that was there.

Speaker 21 (01:29:07):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:29:11):
Oh their goods truth, haven't heard those before? Land, Thank
you very much. That very interesting. I had no idea
there'd be a good basis for a movie too, wouldn't it.
Darlington in the forties. I think that was one of
the suburbs that was really hit done because they talk
about the Arlington stays. Have I got that right. The
tree was next to where the lift and steps are

(01:29:33):
that take you down near the sound shell. That the
area is called the piazza. I wondered about that. I
have spent time hanging around there. Margarets. You just hold
a little bit. You made my neo mess of jump
up and bark and go to the front door. Yes,
I am the dog whisperer, Marcus. Our Christmas tree in
Timidly was just beautiful. It was opposite the old Hydro
Grand Hotel on the Bayhill. We're all sad the hide
row was well gone. Well how'd they let the hydro

(01:29:55):
go for you at the Christmas Tree? How do you
did that building go? That's vandalism ismy. So I've always
had free excited a very interesting experience that Tima do
at the around Christmas something. It's always special there.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
Well, the penguins is penguins. They're also coming ashore those
raffles and things. Now, if you want to join the
discussion about this or anything else, of course, doesn't need
to have a busy evening running back and forward. Yeah,
and know what you want to say about that?

Speaker 6 (01:30:37):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
Probably nothing, but yeah, I'm not quite sure what happened
to that person at the Cashmere Club. There's been quite
a bit of talk about that. I don't know if
you've been following that story. And as for Glory Vale,
just close that down. What are they waiting for? Jeepest, creepers,
close it down? Anyhe get in touch if you want

(01:31:00):
to be on air tonight eight. Mainly it's phone boxes,
which is great, long way that lasted a topic. Phone
boxes and also yodling not i'mentirely sure what the I
don't think I ever realized or remembered that yodling was Swedish,

(01:31:28):
because of course the Americans embraced it. Don't quite know why,
but they're begun yoldling. I think there's twelve thousand yodlers
in Switzerland. I say Sweden, im in Switzerland. So that's
something you can mention. Also tonight, and phone booths if
you want to be a part of these is the
discussion so far now eight hundred eighty, ten eighty and

(01:31:50):
nine to text, get in touch here til twelve o'clock,
looking forward to what you've got to say, Dave, This
is Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 9 (01:32:00):
Yeah, just phone boxes.

Speaker 16 (01:32:02):
A few years ago I worked in the UK and
I worked for a landscape gardening company and we were
doing high end gardens and garden maintenance in London. We
went to a house and they had a London telephone
boxes that had been converted into a fridge and had

(01:32:23):
shelves on it and had all the glasses and refrigerated
all the uses. And then the cast iron letter boxes,
the UK cast iron letter boxers that was made into
an ice machine, so when you opened it up, it
was all ice in there.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
Yeah, is this is this it some castle?

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:32:44):
No, no, it was.

Speaker 16 (01:32:45):
It was actually the I think it was the editor
of the the Daily Mirror or the Tallegraph of Ladies.
We used to do really high end gardens and we
don't like Andrew Lloyd Webber's garden in the South of
France and all that.

Speaker 7 (01:32:57):
Sort of stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:32:58):
Yeah, yeah, I did one of the house. The house
we went to was it was flash and I still
remember it because they had a big conservatory in the
mid or London. They were drawing like bananas and oranges
and the conservatory.

Speaker 3 (01:33:12):
Yeah, that sounds really fresh. If you've got if you've
got a what do they called it an what's the
thing you called grow oranges? And is it called an
oranger orangury. I think that might be the thing that
the fleshies have. An ora injury. I think it's what
it is. Or orangery, ironjury halftime in the football. Just

(01:33:33):
so you know, and I'm looking forward to your calls
tonight or texts, Marcus. I went to sell On College
in Ork. There was a payphone in the hallway of
the library. It was always a good laugh ringing that phone.
I don't know school's headphones, but that's exciting. Now the

(01:33:53):
inter under Executive General Manager Duncan Roy has spoken the
three point thirty PM HI saying depicted and returned went
into the technically she could investigate resolved by a technical
staff based there. This she became a pair as part
of standard procedures Pride entering Tory channel and the return
to when edel was decided on as a safety precaution
rather than sutting through the sounds. The appropriate authorities have

(01:34:17):
been notified. We will work with our passages and freight
customers to reschedule them. She's pretty boring. Press release Duncan
set the world on fire? Is it?

Speaker 24 (01:34:29):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:34:29):
Well? Good on you now? Texts are good. We're tooking
phone booths. Fancy having the one on the street and
everyone just waiting for their calls? Do you know what
the road toll is now? Please? Seems to be a
lot of death lately, Marcus. I remember the story of
a baby boy lifted a phone box and found by
a milkman. It was on the first David Loman's program.

(01:34:51):
I think his name was Keith Palmerston North Marcus. That
woman doing the running was a human text in today's terms.
Yes she was. Lynn was the coolest call you've had
all night? Wow? And Ozzie's want to ban social media? Well,
I don't know what the segue was, but yes, it's good. Yes,
the people were concerned about the end of the lipstick.

(01:35:13):
Someone says, check your emails please. I'll check my emails
as you speak. I've checked them. What are you curious about?

Speaker 12 (01:35:21):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:35:22):
This is a deleted file? No, I haven't got anything
in the emails people. Is that you Tony? There's someone
called Tony's sending me out of YouTube. Who've got time
to watch YouTube videos at work? I'm not really in
the YouTube market. Oh I don't. I'm not going to
watch what. I don't want to watch videos of forget
who that guy is, that American commentator. No, I don't

(01:35:44):
need to watch that. I'm afraid I've got better things
to do with my life now. Twenty six to eleven, Hello, Katie,
this is Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:35:53):
Oh, hello Marcus. I watched the Graham Morton Shows the
night with Jasandra don Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
Great.

Speaker 24 (01:36:01):
Yes, she was very good.

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
Now I've heard back from that. People said to be
very excited by that.

Speaker 24 (01:36:07):
Well, she was actually very good. I wasn't sure how
she'd come across with Kate Winslet and Allan Carr, who's
sort of a pain.

Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
I hang on, hang on, Katie, I'm a big Allan
car fan.

Speaker 24 (01:36:20):
Oh he was hilarious.

Speaker 10 (01:36:22):
Yeah, yeah, he was on TV after.

Speaker 24 (01:36:26):
That as well.

Speaker 3 (01:36:27):
Well, I mean he was, he was great. He was
great on that on the Celebrity Traders. But look what
I what I wonder about the Graham Norton Show, Yeah,
is they must have researchers. They once they start the show,
but they must know every anecdote that people are going
to say, don't they because it seems to be, you know,

(01:36:49):
they get the best out of everyone. But but they
but they must know the story they are meant to
tell that must be very well orchestraed.

Speaker 4 (01:36:55):
I would think we'll also do with her new book
out and everything.

Speaker 24 (01:36:59):
But she spoke quite a lot about being Prime Minister
and using being punist when she was pregnant. She was
very good because she spoke quite well with some Kate
Winsor's as well. I think she probably doesn't know those
people very well.

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
What's Kate winsletped back on the circuit for She's got because,
of course, Kate, now I've forgotten, I've got Kate Winslet confused.
Kate Winsort, of course, is from the Titanic, isn't she?

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
Okay, yeah, okay.

Speaker 24 (01:37:29):
And her son is very talented.

Speaker 3 (01:37:33):
An door the son's and actor or did you say director?

Speaker 24 (01:37:38):
Yes, he directing and things is She's very nice. But
Cinda was very good. She sort of had quite a
lighter colored here. It will probably be repeated and you
might be to see it sometimes.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
I think I think all those things are online too. Yeah,
it seems it seems like it's a lot of the
voice grabs on social media have been replayed. But you know,
I'm glad to ask about Kate Winsley, because yeah, I've
deverly forgotten who she was.

Speaker 24 (01:38:04):
She very good that I labor supporter, but she did
come across very well.

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
Tonight with so Kate Winslet right. Just to keep you
up to speed. She's in the latest Avatar movie which
gets released in Wellington tomorrow though, that's what she's doing.
So that's yeah, I've forgotten about it. I don't know
she's here for the premiere. I know that Cliff Curtis
is but yes, she'll be promoting that because they're always
promoting something. Katie, thank you very much. Twenty three to
eleven interesting, interesting, eight hundred and eighty ten, eighty and

(01:38:36):
nine nine two to text you want to come through
looking forward to what you want to say? Oh, I agree,
Gloria Vale should be closed. But what would happen to
all those people who meaged the social problems getting back
to some normality. We have to deprogram them, wouldn't you?

(01:38:57):
Marcus Lily Yodling was using a form of communication across
mountain valleys, mostly the social with the mountain regions of Europ,
particularly Switzerland, Austria and Bavaria. Remember the song The Lonely
Goathood and the Yolding in the film The Sound of
Music well, how could you forget that that was the puppet?
That was the puppet scene of the sound of music,

(01:39:19):
wasn't high in the hills to the Lonely Goatherd?

Speaker 6 (01:39:24):
And what have I got?

Speaker 5 (01:39:25):
That?

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
Right? High in the hills of the lonely goat goatherd.
That was the voice of the only goat lady who who?
And then it went folks in the town that was
chromite quite remote heardally anyway, And on it goes Diana.
It's Marcus, Well, just a dinor, It's Marcus. Welcome, good,
good evening.

Speaker 27 (01:39:46):
Oh hello, yes, I did watch the just under of her.

Speaker 21 (01:39:53):
Interview.

Speaker 24 (01:39:54):
It was dreadful.

Speaker 27 (01:39:55):
I felt embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Why do you keep watching it?

Speaker 14 (01:39:59):
Because it was.

Speaker 27 (01:40:00):
A train crash. There she was, you know, the leader
of our country was Winslood, who quite honestly is sort
of a slightly lovely foul mouth woman, you know, lovely acress.
And there was just Sindra Dune, a politician, and there
were a couple of other checks there Alan Carr. She's

(01:40:21):
completely out of her depth. She's like a push out
of water.

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
Okay, it's not what the Texters are saying, but thank you, Diana.
There we go twenty one away from eleven o'clock. A bite,
I'll bother if you want to watch some sport. Hayden
Wilde is doing his triathlon tonight. He wins that, so
if he comes forth in that, he wins the whole thing.
What an extraordinary time after he came off as well,
left for his bad extent. So anyway, keep your text

(01:40:46):
coming with it, Marcus. What a load of rubbish for
that woman about Aderne. She was very good, just Sinda
held her own, was out of a depth. Her and
Kate seemed to really gel with each other. Kate was
promoting a new film whose son had written as she
is in and directed. Marcaus, you said it was brilliant documentary.
Move was very good or key, we should watch it.
A great eye opener. Anyway, do get in touch. You've

(01:41:08):
got to talk billets, Marcus. Good evening, Good.

Speaker 28 (01:41:11):
Evening, Marcus. I watched that cra Have Norton show with
Jasayindra Herd, and I thought she'd done a wonderful job
for New Zealand. She came across, could she spoke? Well
that that woman that rang up, she must be on
another planet as far as I'm concerned. She done a
good job for New Zealand and as I said, as
far as I'm conservative, put a foot roll. She's a

(01:41:34):
credit to New Zealand and I would say everyone over
in England there would agree with what she had to
say about how she brought us through the COVID and
what have you. And I think she's very sincere. She

(01:41:55):
spoke sincerely at what she said, So that's all I've
got to say.

Speaker 3 (01:42:00):
Thanks very much. But yes, I do wonder about I
do wonder about why anyone that was probably someone that
it was triggered by the former Prime minister would watch
that show. I exposed it something called hate watching, which
you can do. Although she said it was like a
train wreck, but I mean, I guess it's all to be.
It depends on.

Speaker 6 (01:42:20):
Yah.

Speaker 3 (01:42:20):
Why would you watch something like that if it was
someone that you were sort of allergic to. I've got
no idea, but thank you. Oh wait on in eightyty
seventeen to eleven and phone booths and yodling and oh
there's other stuff. I'm sure tonight I'm watching the traith

(01:42:44):
On that's right. Oh yeah, trethlons, treuthlons. Who'd want to
be good? Who'd want to be okay at three things. Anyway,
it's beautiful. It's around the streets of Toulouse. I don't
think he's got the gold at the Olympics. She has.
He's got bronze and silver. But he's seems to be
a guy that goes from strength to strength Marcus. When

(01:43:07):
I was a little child, my friends I discovered we
could circum bit the pain to make a phone call.
We would lift the receiver, then subtract each summer from ten.
We would tap up the number and wandered it and
it went through. We're scared. We could get corp but
never wear cheers. Jenny. Yes, that's right, but you dial
the zero. That was And I think the tapping was
a way for post office workers to communicate without needing coins. Yeah,

(01:43:36):
I think that's what it was. They could test phone lines.
I'm not entirely sure what the heck was, but yeah,
it was something that was put in there. It was
a deliberate thing that you could call back to base.
Tap tap tap tap, Yes, what vile things. And of
course people always set light to the phone books, all right,

(01:43:56):
so you can never get the number you wanted. And
I don't know if you could phone directory for free
from a phone box either, and I think with toll
calls a sound would go and you have to put
more coins in. I don't know if every phone box
around the world had that whole button b thing, but yes,

(01:44:18):
then you'll actually be answering the phones and you couldn't
hear anything if I say, if a phone box push button. Ay,
I still say that occasionally just to sound delightfully old fashion.

Speaker 13 (01:44:30):
Oo.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
And the entime fury has been brought back into Wellington.
I remember we don't get the new Fairies until twenty
twenty nine. That's a worry. Although were ordered we have
the early next year. All things going well, but nope,
they canceled those yep. Weekend weathers looking very good. They're

(01:44:56):
calling it the summer sizzler. It's what we all need,
the summer sizzler. I do think probably. I think that
tonight is the big night. I think next week is
probably gonna be very few at work. I think everyone's
already in party mode. I'm watching the transition in the triathlon.
Is the key we in the front there? Dan No,

(01:45:19):
I haven't said I can't see that through, but it's
not great coverage. Oh, that's the women I thought they looked.
I thought they looked of short stature. Here they are
women too, aren't they look at me? Have very good port.
You've made their dan thought I didn't recognize them. Fourteen
to eleven, heit til twelve. I think I'm watching the

(01:45:42):
wrong triathlon. No, they're running down the streets of Toulouse.
But it's on fifty two. Yeah, I think I'm watching
something because it's certainly France, but it isn't. Doha. Janet's Marcus.
Good evening and welcome hi there, Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:45:59):
I watched a little bit of that interview with just
Sender and that woman who saying she was out of
her debt. I think she, to me, looks like she's
green with envy, a green person, you know. So just
Cinda was very poised. She's beautiful with her lovely hair,

(01:46:23):
and she was just saying all the right things and entertaining.
I think she makes us proud.

Speaker 3 (01:46:33):
Nice de from Agen, thanks so much for that. I
think you'll be out of your depth with actors, could you.
But anyway, I found the right trathlon. Now to what
it did look like France, it was France. Now I'm
onto the real one. I'm just looking at the checkpoint
and wild and one tooth. If he gets on the
podium or forty wins the whole thing. So that's a

(01:46:55):
such a situation. He's at twelve or thirteenth now, I
think the looks of things eighteen seconds off the leave,
but swimming's not a strong event nine away from eleven?
And how are you going? People? We're talking about phone boxes? Oh, Marcus,
I don't know what program your caller was watching, but

(01:47:15):
I watched you Cinda r. Doun on the Graham Norton
Show this evening, and she didn't see or hear what
she was reporting. Just Cinder was poised and gracious, not push.
You took her to and listen to what the other
guests were saying, and they all seem to Gell. I
think your call needs to take a deep breath and
not be so nasty. If you don't like what you're seeing,
stop watching. Yeah, anyway, do get in touch, Marcus. You

(01:47:45):
are watching the T one hundred for them to lose
a few months ago. That's right, So yes, I've got
the right channel. Now, I've got a free slow remote.
It's not slow, it's a lazy remote. It's hard to push.
Get in touch. You want to be a part of
the show, getting ready for the last hour, but I'll
take you before the news at eleven. I wonder when
people got phones in New Zealand. I don't think I
know much about phones. Seem as th people waiting into

(01:48:07):
the nineteen sixties, so they got phones. We always talk
about not having fridges or electricity, but yeah, I don't
know when. I don't know how quickly phones took over
the country. Could we always hear about people say when
they got the first TV, we've got the No one
says we've got the first phone and people would come
along to watch it ring. I think it's kind of
an under heralded part of New zealand history of the
arrival of the phone. Of course, the early days you

(01:48:28):
have talk early talkback radio. They probably don't know how
much had Phones' interesting. I remember too when talkback radio
first started. Sorry, I remember when cell phones first came in,
and talk about radio. They're always terrible, but most of
the were pretty good. Now these days you can't really
tell a landline from a cell phone. They've really really
cut out. Seems like one day I say we've got
that network sort of, but we've all paid for that
network hevently through for those years of exorbitant cell phone bills.

(01:48:54):
Now I'm just heading towards the news people. Let me
just check about everything that's all in order. Jim will
be at midnight, Jim Snedden by the way, tomorrow, Dick
van Dyk, we'll turn one hundred.

Speaker 6 (01:49:09):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:49:10):
The last person is well known as that that turned
one hundred would be Barbara Carland? Would it? How old
was the Queen Mother? She was old too, wasn't she?
Did she live to one hundred? I think she might have,
but we don't get many octo nanosenturions. Queen Mother was
ninety six?

Speaker 10 (01:49:29):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
Is that what I'm saying? No, Queen Mother? How old
was she? She was one hundred and two, and she's
real old. I'm just going to think about people that
go beyond one hundred, well known people that lived to
one hundred. It's the smallest. But Dick Van Dyke, Yeah,
I don't know that much about him, but here's one
hundred tomorrow. It's been a while since he's had a

(01:49:52):
hit in the movies, hasn't it been a long time
since Mary Poppins. I don't know why he's got such
great longevity anyway. Do you get touching one to one
of us? Marcus welcome, Hitded twelve, anything else you want
to mention? Sober since nineteen seventy two Old Dick Van Dyke.

(01:50:12):
There you go, heavy smoker for most of his adult life.
People take joy in that heavy smoker. Goodness. He is
unwell at the moment. I think, well, he was on
well in June twenty twenty five, canceled an appearance at
a comedy club with an undisclosed illness.

Speaker 6 (01:50:32):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
Not one of my favorite actors. But I mean, it'd
be hard to be a cockney chimney sweep and do that, well,
wouldn't it.

Speaker 6 (01:50:41):
Who?

Speaker 3 (01:50:43):
So there you go. That's all I can tell you
about that, Eleve. And I wait, I'm just watching the
traathlon which is in Doha. It's amazing because these places
like Doha, they do all they can to get to sport,
but there's no one there. Terrible place for traathlons. It
seems as though the local population have no interest in
these sports at all. But it seems to be all
the sports going because of the money. So yeah, just

(01:51:07):
in one of the comment is saying a great atmosphere.
Obviously they're in the payroll, but yeah, there's no atmosphere
at all for what I can see. Anyway, they've gone
into the bike ride now it takes about eighty k
so it'll take a while. So anyway, that's happening today.
This is the World Triathlon Championships that we should be winning,
AID and Wild should be winning. Welcome people to want
to talk here till midnight. We're talking phone boxes and yodling.

(01:51:31):
There might be other topics you've got and that would
be good eight hundred eighty to eighty nine nine to text,
get in touch you want to be a part of it.
By the way, too, I can tell you that the
tuatarpar Sports Day is ending after one hundred and sixteen years,

(01:51:52):
one of the classic Southend events. A lot of wood
cutting races, cycling free, old school but yes they get
no one more to organize it. Though the town of
course to Autarpoli is not one. It used to be
a great used to be very popular with the train
wind all the way through there. Now for those that

(01:52:12):
don't know to Atapli, it's what it's about. As far
south as far west as you can go. People do
the Humpbridge Track, which is now one of New Zealand's
great walks that leaves from there. It's a forestry town,
but now a lot of the forestry to the west
of there has protected the beach forests and stuff, so
it's no longer a forest which I don't know what
the industry of Toutarpley would be. Probably dairy farming. It's

(01:52:35):
quite a it's quite a yeah, productive dairy area, I
would think. Anyhow, do get in touch, you want to
be a part of My name is Marcus Hittle twelve.
I've got let me look at the text because quite
a few are coming in. I've read the text as
I've got them. A dune has done us no harm.

(01:52:58):
She saved hundreds of lives through the pandemic. Die Marcus,
What is the end people about? I don't get it.
She will be the most famous use and farm us
of all time. I don't get our New Zealand educators
thinking on this issue. She's a wonderful and deserves every
accolade that's from Die Marcus. Dick van Dyke did a
duel song with Coldplay, All my Beautiful Jewel, all My
Love beautiful jewel song, dave O. Thank you Marcus phill

(01:53:22):
here talking about old age, we should also celebrate doctor
Lloyd Gearing, now New Zealand's oldest man at one hundred
and seven. I did not know that. Wow, you know,
and I thought New Zealand's oldest man would be older
than that. Evening, Marcus, Just Sinda was a gracious, a
credit to our nation, Susie. That's all what people have said.

(01:53:50):
Oh Marcus, I don't know what you are program your
call was watching when I watched Just Doing on the
graand norton the show this evening and didn't see or
hear what she was reporting. Just Sinda was poison, gracious,
not push. You took it to and listen to what
the other guests were saying. They all seem to Gell.
I think your caller needs to take a deep breath
and not be so nasty. If you don't like what

(01:54:10):
you're seeing, stop watching cheos. Jess. Just looking at Facebook
for the last couple of days since that thing went,
and people have posted things. But the people that are
that have antagonism, antagonism towards Jisinda Ardun. I don't think
it serves so much good. They just with every comment

(01:54:32):
section they're in there or boots and all. They are
your classic keyboard warriors, and I would imagine it's probably
time to move on. I can't imagine. I mean, I'm
sure there's there's other political discussions you get involved with,
and there's people actually within the political climate at the moment.
You could if you want to get involved with political discourse.

(01:54:52):
Dune's gone, She's done it. As she's out, she could
see the vitrioles she left. I think people need to
move on. But people will do what people do. I
suppose they have to do it in their own good time. Marcus.
I watched the show the former promise that came across

(01:55:14):
free Well, there was some like your caller that's sort
of like her, just said no matter what grabbed. Norton
also brought up when I guess some would say the
country turned on her. I thought the footage from the
dock or at the time showed how difficult things were,
so I thought nought to handle that aspect. Well. He
didn't sugar coat what happened. A good show and worth
the watch. I enjoyed. The person asked whether she was

(01:55:35):
going to be on the Red chair. Also Dick van Dyke.
Anyone met Dick van Dyke always put that out there
at this time of the night. But you might want
to mention that too. He's one hundred tomorrow and smoked
all his life. Was a drinker too, but gave up
in seventy three, so that's of interest. Eight hundred and

(01:55:59):
eighty ten eighty and nine two de text. If you
want to comment on these things, yes, So if you
want to talk, great, let's be hearing from you. Thirteen
past seven hitdle midnight Jim Steedden from twelve. By the way,
his big movies were Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins.

(01:56:21):
So just trying to read about his back life. Oh,
just thing as anything interesting I can tell you from that,
but not really anyway. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
and nine to nine two detect if you want to

(01:56:42):
be a part of it. We're also talking about phone
booths and phone boxes because they are now no longer
going to be a thing. The last spark ones are
going to be taken down. Of course, no one uses
those anymore. I feel for all those people that invested
in phone cards because they thought they were going to

(01:57:02):
be the future. But yes, it was very much passing
to achnology, because there is no such thing. Well, you know,
quite soon after phone cards induce everyone had cell phones.
I don't know when the last payphone went. I don't
even know what happened at those spark phone booth. These
says what you could do in them. But it's fourteen
past eleven. If you want to be involved in the show,
my name is Marcus good Evening he till twelve o'clock.

(01:57:24):
I'm also watching the Treathlon. It's the big sport that's
on today. Then what's the football album score? I'll tell
me when he's off the phone. He's busy answering at
the moment. I'll look up. Actually Auckland f C score.
I don't think this season's going quite as well as

(01:57:44):
last one, although they didn't win it, did they? Two one?
Auckland FC over the Central Coast Mariners and Chris. This
is Marcus. Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:57:57):
How are you doing tonight?

Speaker 17 (01:57:59):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:57:59):
Thanks Chris good Man.

Speaker 10 (01:58:01):
I hate to make your comments of earlier about sport
and kitar and then you met. I think the big
race that our Kiwi boys likely the wind tonight. Yeah, yeah, awesome.
I spent seven years in Cata. They're pretty fantastic at
a number of sports over there, and they're very supportive
of certain sports played volleyball in New Zealand for many

(01:58:25):
many years. They're fantastic and volleyball, volleyball, a fantastic basketball players.
They love anything with the motor in it. So in
terms of the rallying, equestrian, motor racing, for motorbikes, I'm
a big motorbike fan.

Speaker 14 (01:58:44):
They're the sales surf.

Speaker 10 (01:58:45):
It's one of the best in the world. They are,
they punched well above their weight and a lot of
sports is all.

Speaker 9 (01:58:52):
I wanted to tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
What's the climate like, Chris, Oh, oppressive?

Speaker 10 (01:58:57):
Yeah, it was extremely hot, but winter time is like here.
Their winter is like our temperatures here in summer.

Speaker 3 (01:59:05):
So you want you want to pick sports too, wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (01:59:07):
You very much?

Speaker 11 (01:59:09):
So?

Speaker 10 (01:59:09):
But everything they seed over there, so they're sports that
they play are all in big a seed gyms. But
you know, I spent a lot of time in Bahrain
and Kata.

Speaker 9 (01:59:19):
And in the UAE.

Speaker 10 (01:59:22):
Their volleyball teams like a little place like Bahrain had
I think one point six million people. Their volleyball team
that hosted the Under nineteen FIVB Championships and got into
the semi finals. They're that good.

Speaker 9 (01:59:37):
So I just wanted to do that because I was there.

Speaker 3 (01:59:39):
Why would that be Chris is that historically they always
been made on volleyball.

Speaker 10 (01:59:43):
They're very athletic, you know. I As I said, I
played a lot of volleyball here in the Barmerston North
region and traveled all around the country. But when I
traveled over there was in my early thirties and I
started coaching a team over there from a very small island.

Speaker 21 (01:59:59):
Where we lived.

Speaker 10 (02:00:00):
And these kids, although they were very young thirteen fourteen
year old, were like two of them ended up going
for Bahrain that were well over six foot when they
were that age. So they're tall, very tall, and extremely athletic.
Their football teams are also amazing. They've got their soccer

(02:00:20):
teams for Catah, for Bahrain, for Saudi Arabia, very very
talented and extremely well supported. So I just wanted to
mention that because it is a different world over there,
and there are some sports that don't really do like
for instance, they have these the motorbikes super superbikes and

(02:00:42):
the GP, the GP racing so the top racers in
the world were there.

Speaker 21 (02:00:48):
But that was cool.

Speaker 10 (02:00:49):
It wasn't a huge crowd, but that was so cool
because you could go down on the pattic and shake
the hands and beat.

Speaker 9 (02:00:55):
All your stars.

Speaker 10 (02:00:57):
Guys like Rossi, etc. Blokes that I met and had
a good chance to talk to. If you try to
do that in Europe somewhere, there's no way you would
get a chanced to do that. So yeah, they're they're
pretty sporty in certain key areas.

Speaker 3 (02:01:11):
Britian. Thanks so much, Chris. Nice to hear from you.
Thanks for ringing in with that. Hello, Jerry, it's Marcus.

Speaker 17 (02:01:15):
Welcome, good evening, Marcus, Merry Christmas. I went to see
the Prime Minister movie and they were talking about the Pike,
the Pike River disaster and sorry, I want to see
the Pike River movie. Sorry that that's the one. And
and you were broadcasting on the radio and they put

(02:01:36):
your radio clip in the movie at that time. Oh,
someone said the Yeah, so I hope you'll get I
hope you'll get the chance to see that. So you're
you're actually on the air in that movie.

Speaker 3 (02:01:50):
Now, just to clarify, Jerry, that's in the A Dune movie,
not the Pike River movie. Isn't it?

Speaker 17 (02:01:55):
No, it's it's it's the Pike River movie where Durn
Durn appears in that movie.

Speaker 3 (02:02:01):
Okay, okay, ill that them up the other way around.
But thank you for that, Jerry. It's not nineteen past eleven.
Text if you want to or email, I've got live
updates now of the leaderboard in the triathlon. You know
why I like this guy?

Speaker 11 (02:02:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:02:18):
Is it right?

Speaker 3 (02:02:18):
Marcus? What do you like that guy? Because when he
was at the Olympics, that English guy was so nasty
to him. I forget what happened, but he was very
ungracious when he overtook him. Remember that.

Speaker 15 (02:02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:02:35):
Now I'm on the women men I'm looking at and
he's in fourth at the moment. On the cycling h
wild a lot of them kit that you can follow,
although the TV coverage is just on the women of
the fair enough they do what they want?

Speaker 20 (02:02:53):
Do you do you? Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:02:59):
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty to be a part
of the show tonight, King Charles is about to release
a personal message about his can to diagnotics and knows
and recovery in a groundbreaking move. So that's what he's
going to do. I don't know what's groundbreaking about it,
but he's going to tell us what sort of Cancri
has and how he is and also other news. It's

(02:03:24):
quite powerful as Taylor Swift has been filmed extremely upset.
She has performed in Wembley. I don't know she was
back touring. This must be a new show, is it.
But she's been in Wembley and then she's met up
with the victims, sorry, with the families of the Southport victims.

(02:03:47):
And they were those children that were at a Taylor
Swift dance event when a number of them were killed. Oh,
actually maybe it's from the TV series about that that
the footage has come from. So yes, it's the footage

(02:04:08):
from when she was in England last August where she
met some of the survivors of that. So yeah, that
sounded oppressing anyway. It's twenty one past and eleven. If
you want to be a part of the show here
till twelve, if you want to come through, and anything
else you want to talk about in this final hour,

(02:04:29):
they'll be nice to hear from you. Eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to text, You're Leslie,
it's Marcus. Good evening, Hi, Dea.

Speaker 22 (02:04:41):
I was coming up over the nap Talbo when I
checked on and I was listening to about phone boxes
and I came up the hill towards and you were
the phone box.

Speaker 12 (02:04:55):
Have even noticed it before?

Speaker 3 (02:04:59):
Is it an opera? Is it a red one?

Speaker 17 (02:05:02):
No, it's not.

Speaker 22 (02:05:03):
Well it's a fine chiof so it must be one.

Speaker 3 (02:05:07):
It must be one that's operational.

Speaker 22 (02:05:09):
Yeah, I would say so. I didn't stop and considered
stopping and calling you from it, to be honest, but
I've got a bit of a dead.

Speaker 9 (02:05:17):
Life to night.

Speaker 3 (02:05:18):
So because I don't even know how those new phone
I don't even know how those spark chaosks worked. Are
they phone? What are they? Are they for?

Speaker 15 (02:05:26):
Phone?

Speaker 3 (02:05:26):
Are they how do you operate them? Are they with
cards or pay what? You wouldn't know either, would you?

Speaker 22 (02:05:33):
On the side of it, I think it sees card okay, Yeah, I'm.

Speaker 3 (02:05:43):
I was just to carry a card to keep in
handy times. But it's been I think the last time
I used one was when I last time I called you?

Speaker 5 (02:05:55):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (02:05:55):
Den? I called you from a payphone not so long ago?
Remember that he had a card anyway, Thank you for Leslie.
Nice to hear from your twenty three past eleven Begsone
the new use tonight is that the intro and ferry
failed to get into Tory straight because it's staring broke,
and then went back to Wellington after eight hours at sea.

(02:06:17):
I think Parliament's still meeting. I think they're meeting to
the early hours of tonight, actually into the morning, as
they rush through everything at the end of the year.
Happens every year, I would think. So that's some of
the stuff that you can talk about tonight, hop past eleven,
let's call it that you might be heading home or

(02:06:38):
heating out on a late night. I don't know if
it gets I don't even know what happens at night
now with drinking. Do people go and party or is
it now with social media and all those things, that
people just partying. I don't know if to know of
cities kind of I don't know what happened out there
in the big wide world anymore. People. I'm often curious.
I think if you see radio people in radio jackets

(02:06:59):
wandering around drunk and the viaduct, there's a radio party
down there. I don't think the heavy hitters will be there.
I can't imagine many people would be there apart for
I tell you who would always turn up there's a
radio party. Who would turn up? Would be Andrew Dickens
and Heather Deplicy Allen and Darcy Waldegrave. I'd imagine they

(02:07:22):
would be the only three that would go that we
think anyone else on the day roster would go. And
Roman might sneak along have a bit of a look.
And that's kind of all I reckon that would be
there full time in the football Auckland have won two?
Who else would go to the party? Dan? That's all
it would be, wouldn't it? Yeah, be Dickens. I should

(02:07:46):
try this. If it'd be Dickens, Roman, Heather and Darcy
first thing in the morning, he won't be there. Any
of the mid Doorners would go. Tim wouldn't go. Jim
would be getting ready for the show tonight. Mikey might
go since he's you not only did go then that's

(02:08:10):
my predictions for that. Anyway, was that interesting? Probably not
evening Steven's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 29 (02:08:18):
I don't know whether this is any interest. You're talking
about old people. Yes, I had an uncle and an aunt.
They both got to one hundred and one. Well, now
they were both born on Norfolk.

Speaker 3 (02:08:28):
Island, cheap as were they? Were they.

Speaker 29 (02:08:33):
The Keen Island.

Speaker 3 (02:08:35):
We're Pittkin Islanders, the.

Speaker 29 (02:08:37):
N Islanders that were resettled on on Norfolk. But his
birth certificates is he was born on Norfolk.

Speaker 3 (02:08:45):
Are you a pitt can you?

Speaker 7 (02:08:46):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (02:08:46):
Were they? Is your family related to the pitt Kin Islanders?

Speaker 29 (02:08:50):
No, they were very very I want to call uncle
and uncle and aunt that they weren't, you know? And
Andy Joan wasn't until after Joan died I found out
the real name was be But anyway, he goes anyway,

(02:09:11):
what happened, Well, the only thing I can think keep
them going was the fact that when they came to
New Zealand to live, she had a sister in Wellington
nineteen fifty four I think it was, and she had
a month down in Wellington and she missed her train

(02:09:31):
coming back, and that was the tinging wife.

Speaker 3 (02:09:35):
A lot of people missed that train, didn't they.

Speaker 29 (02:09:37):
She got the next one, and then there was a
hell of the stink. And anyway, she eventually got back
on a bus about three days later. And when she
walked home, she used to walk miles. He wore OUTSI, well.

Speaker 3 (02:09:54):
It's the key. Walking's the key.

Speaker 29 (02:09:56):
Yep, yeah, walking is the key. I can see that.

Speaker 6 (02:10:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 29 (02:10:01):
She he saw Uncle Uncle Rob. He saw her head
past the kitchen window, and he thought that by that
stage met three or four days later that he'd lost her.
She had to throw a bucket of water on him.
He colept on the floor, you know, he just thought

(02:10:23):
he's in a ghost. They had a place to who who,
and that they'd bought a place and o to who.
And the power board used to come around occasionally and
check their meter. Now because they lived on an island

(02:10:44):
in the formative years, which didn't have much power. They
used very little power everything, you know, and they would
come and check the meter because they never had anybody
who's only about six dollars worth of power in a month.
You know, they'd investigated that changed the meter was saying

(02:11:07):
one day that they were they were very down to
earth people. They had the backyard was all dug up
and veggies. They would give stuff away to their neighbors
here and the year they say there uncle Uncle, I
called him Uncle Rob.

Speaker 3 (02:11:28):
How had your family how did your family come across
and was it through the church or something through my
late wife. Oh yes, yeah, and was she was she
a Pikin Islander?

Speaker 29 (02:11:40):
No? No, okay, no, no, My wife was born in Harwar.

Speaker 3 (02:11:45):
Cheap as creepers all the places.

Speaker 29 (02:11:47):
All the places.

Speaker 6 (02:11:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 29 (02:11:48):
But he, I say, Rob was born in nineteen eighteen
and died in twenty nineteen at one hundred and one.
And he was a really interesting person. He could turn
his hand to anything. And the neighbors to bring him
something broken and he fixed it for him. And and
I say, Auntie Janes, well, she could put her hand

(02:12:09):
to her recipes were well known in the area. You know,
she passed on a few tips for me.

Speaker 3 (02:12:18):
But in some of the story, I kind of I
kind of zoned out of it. You're talking about tongue
of white, and then you talked about she walking past
the kitchen with her head and putting her bucket of water.
Tell me that story again.

Speaker 29 (02:12:29):
Well, she'd been down the week before to see her
sister in Wellington.

Speaker 3 (02:12:35):
And think she died.

Speaker 29 (02:12:39):
Well, she missed the train and he cussed. Back in
those days, radio communications was very poor and she just
heard the Queen's message for Christmas Eve. And it was
Christmas Eve when you I think the Queen was here too.

Speaker 3 (02:12:58):
At that time.

Speaker 29 (02:12:59):
The Queen was here and he thought, oh I'd lost her.
You know your train coming from Welling to Aukland.

Speaker 6 (02:13:06):
He thought he lost it.

Speaker 29 (02:13:07):
Yeah, she said, you had the tip of back of
the water over him. He just passed right out. But
she looked after him and feed him and looked after
him till he was one hundred and one. There was
only she was born in nineteen twenty one and died
in twenty twenty two. The one hundred and one. But yeah, no,

(02:13:28):
she was. She got dementia right at the end, and
I think that was because she missed her soul mate.
It's something you need to travel that path when you've
been married for sixty years, seventy years, something like that.
You yeah, it's just like losing an arm. And yeah,

(02:13:51):
dementia can sit him quite badly. But ye know, I
remember the two of them. They were a loving couple.
You never saw them without holding hands. When they walked
around the streets that go to the shop, that was
holding hands. It's lovely to see.

Speaker 3 (02:14:09):
