Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Greetings, good evening and welcome on him as Marcus and
here till twelve o'clock tonight, So I hope it's good
where you are. I'll be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
That's the last four nights for me. I won't be
here on Friday, tapped out. I've got a boy that's
having a birthday, so I decided to take the boy
that day off for him and start my holidays then.
So I was gonna do the Irish sideway? That can

(00:36):
I say that the Irish? Is that what it's called
the Irish sideways? I feel that's an expression, But I
also feel it's an expression that's probably I've said wrong.
It's probably slightly celebratory of the Irish. I guess it's
the right word to describe that. I think it's the
Irish sideway. I don't know what it's No, I don't

(00:56):
know if that's the right thing. Now, what's it called
when you leave without telling anyone? What is that the
expression for that? What's the word for that? I've caught
myself out, but ow opening I wish it was the
Irish sideway? What is the word when you leave? I
last Chechi pit. I think Chechi pity is quicker than
you guys. Now, what is the word when you leave?

(01:17):
Without telling anyone anyway, I've got no idea what it's called.
But I'm not doing that because I've told you I'm
sure with the Irish sideways, but I'll google it. There's
nothing there, so I'll be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

(01:39):
Or someone says it's the Irish Goodbye or the French Leave,
I'll call it the French leave, the Irish goodbye?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Are we doing the Irish Goodbye? But I'm not because
I've told you I meant to do the Irish Goodbye,
but I've decided not to. So the last four nights
for me, and look, I've wanted to strike a fairly
upbeat tone for the last four nights, and I'll try
and do that. Although there's some pretty grim news out

(02:09):
and about there, and I realized that I will need
to acknowledge that and probably report on that throughout the
next for hour. So there's new information about any of
these things are happening around the world, I'll bring those
details to you. Yeah, and look, I don't know, I

(02:31):
don't really want to watch any of those videos of
that shooting. It's a bit. Yeah, I don't know why
that is. I'm not someone that watches the six o'clock
news bulletin these days, mainly because I'm sort of got
kids and doing dinner and getting ready to come to work.
But I did I was visiting some friends. I did
watch the bulletin TV three bulletin, which a good bulletin
tonight on TV three of the news, and yeah, she

(02:51):
was pretty powerful. But that's the thing now, I mean,
with cell phones, we just straight away get all this
graphic image so very quickly, and it's a side issue
to the tragedy, but still it's yeah, it's you click
on a website now to have a look at the news,
and straight away you can see some fairy confronting stuff.

(03:14):
So let's just put that there and I will acknowledge that.
And I don't necessarily know that that's going to be
the topic for the next three hours and fifty minutes.
I don't really know where we go with that as
far as topics go, but you never say never, and
I don't know what will come out the next three
hours fifty minutes. But yeah, I guess we need to

(03:35):
acknowledge that that there's something that people perhaps do want
to talk about, but anything else as well you want
to come through with. As I send these last four nights,
feel free to get in touch. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty and nine nine two. I've got some email
through suggested topics. I've also got some warnings of my own.

(03:55):
I reckon it's probably peak time to have an accident
and a supermarket car park. I've just come from two
of them and I didn't do well, and that's with
a reversing camera, So yeah, it's different out there now.
It's like supermarket parking time is about three. I don't

(04:16):
quite know what's happening, but people are just tooting and
revving and doing really weird stuff. So if he's a
supermakenet a couple of days, just be mindful that you
could well have a fender bender. I haven't, but I've
come close, so that's happening the other thing too, And
I've got a suggested topic and it's not a bad

(04:40):
idea for the last four days of the year. Who
suggested topics? I've gon have received a very lovely email
in my email box today and this guy it's called Keith.
Of course he is called Keith, and Keith's been in
a room with one hundred people, and the email goes, Hi, Marcus,

(05:04):
keep up the good work, and they keep up the
good works. Works on Blue where all the West is
in black and the email goes. Along with many others,
mainly over sixties, there is concern about the musical background
which seems to be added willingly to all programs, irrespective
of their genre. SkyTV or TV in Dead are doing

(05:25):
this badly worse. An episode of New Tricks from twenty
five years ago had it added exclamation mark. This was
raised at a meeting of nearly one hundred people. We
affected on it, came back next month and agreed wholeheartedly.
Most aged people already have some hearing loss. Previously, there
was only some soundbacking for tense moments and a drama.
As the pressure increased, it appears as though somebody is

(05:48):
suggested adding background music to all programs, whatever channel. It
should not be there over important dialogue. Recent examples include
loud music when played for an interview dialogue quite unnecessarily
on seven sharp. What is worse the music as a
name not memorable in next theme or tune. I think
we're talking drum, drum and bass. It is applorable a

(06:10):
topic for your program. All the best for the best
of seasons, Kay Williamson. I'd go one step further. I
know on some radio shows they're always playing what's known
in the industry as a bed of music under the chat.
If you ever find me doing that, you alert all bulletins.
You call me straight away and we will stop. Because
that's not something I want to be remembered for. I

(06:35):
hate it, and the consultants have justsed it, and I've
stood firm. I said, not on this rotch. We're not
playing dunko Dunk go dunk underneath people talking. What would
be the purpose of that. So that's not going to
happen never. So if you ever hear me talking with
music beneath me, you call me straight away. Put the

(06:56):
kaiboh on that. It's fourteen past eight, got a lot
to say in a long time to say it. Feel
free to what you've got to talk about tonight eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine two to detext dB.
It's Marcus good evening leavening.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yes, I've had of to take French leave the French
have they come back?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
For that?

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Is and that they say to leave the English way.
I can't say the French because I don't know in French.
But I've got an even better word for you, to absquatulate.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Ah, yes, the old absquatulation.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yes, to leave without notice, sometimes with sentence.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Really, yeah, I'm starting with French leave. Is French leave
because of their behavior in World War Two?

Speaker 4 (07:47):
I'm not actually sort of the derivation of that, but
I'm not just have to daggle memory for this one. No,
it came up when I was learning about to absquatulate.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh okay, I'm trying to type that word, and so
we know what that means.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
O B.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
I think it's absquatalate away.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's my Latin ab.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yes, I've never seen it written down. I don't even
listened to the word.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
A B s q U A t U l A
t E humorous North American English lever leave abruptly. Yeah, wow,
how'd you come across?

Speaker 6 (08:27):
That?

Speaker 4 (08:29):
My My favorite lex ogen for users every now and then,
SUSI dent.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Okay, I see that it was its peak use at
about eighteen fifty five.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, at the same time as I came up with
words like disconbobulate, yes, and a few other they were
made up words. But I have I have on a
couple of occasions absquatulated with a great smile.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
On my face. Well, sometimes you're a party or an event.
I'm a great absquatulator. But the last thing you want
to know, you just slip out quietly. You don't want
to go around as I'm going now, all goodness, I mean,
it's a lot more efficient just to leave. Do the
Irish goodbye, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
It is just boom, No one cares. Most people won't
notice you exactly, not there for the next couple of hours.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Always lushy, Oh he's done the old French goodbye again.
They are typical and it goes.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, I think I guess a word.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
For the day.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Thank you A squatched on to dB. Thanks for that.
Eighteen past eight mone ms Marcus ant or twelve o'clock tonight.
Looking forward to your texts and your calls. What do
you want to think about programs with the music in
the background for the heart of hearing you want to
have the captions up. That's the answer. You just have
the captions. Marcus, I don't drive, get taxis everywhere, including supermarkets.

(09:51):
Professional drivers. They don't do much wrong on the roads,
but we still get two to that get the middle finger.
I reckon. People are tents two tents Part one one
part t p Cheer's best You and your family Marcus
will Dan's quiz have multiple choice answers. How old was

(10:11):
the jockey of Party stunning winner of race sixit in
vert Cargol as tip by a caller on Friday eighteen
twenty eight or fifty eight? How much did party pay?
I didn't get to the races. I couldn't get leave
because it was only had to be a kid event.
That was a situation for me. But yeah it was
tipped on the show. Le'll just try to see how

(10:34):
much it paid at Escot Park. But get in touch
of you on to talk here till twelve Party paid
in ver Cargill. Think they had a good date at
the races. By the way, I can't see what the
dips are for that one. If anyone knows texts that
through some of you will have backed it. You should
have party good name. Frojus eighteen past eight. Yes, but

(10:59):
the music in the background. I thought there'd be something
you could really get yourself worked up about tonight. And
not to be confused with such susquatch elate, which is
to leave with big feet for a good I don't
know if it's dand quiz it's my quiz. I think

(11:20):
very good people seem to excite be excited that Tovah
is going to breakfast. Thanks for the texts about that.
I am glad to hear your voy start. Is this
your last Christmas week before Christmas? It's my last week
on air, that's right, not that not that's that's worthy.
But just because you've asked, I'll be honest with my answer.

(11:42):
I'll be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but not on Friday,
which is not like me to leave on a Thursday.
But there you go. Get in touch if you want
to be part of the show. I will give you
updates on news. There seems to be a lot of
news happening. Terrible day in the mountains too. I see
that the two people have died in fueled and I
think too missing on Ardachy Mount Cook. Also, I see

(12:05):
that the plane because of the strong winds. The plane
coming into Queen's Down got diverted and was in a
holding pattern, and the flight attendant said it was the
worst flight they'd been on. And there were grown men crying,
which is interesting because I don't think part of me,

(12:26):
being terrified would cry. I'd probably grit majure. I don't
think i'd be a crier. Well, you never say never,
I suppose, Marcus. Another phrase for your Irish goodbye is
the s h house fade. Thank you, Marcus. I'm chuffed
your work until Thursday, having a kneep on Wednesday and

(12:47):
pladless as z be during the night. You'll be a
great distraction from the pain. Are you leaving? Talkback? No,
I'm just having a holiday cheap as he went, so dramatic.
Now aren't they going to leave it on f Well, no,
we'll we beck in the New Year party paid five
dollars for the one two fifty for the place at
twenty each way. Pretty happy. Wow, that's one hundred and

(13:12):
twenty minus your one hundred and forty one, one hundred
and forty minusor forty. It's a hundi a dexcent. Well done, you,
well done, you eight hundred and eighty today to be
a part of it, Marcus, till twelve. If you want
to be a part of the show, who anything else
that comes out, I'll cover that with you tonight to people.

(13:37):
Oh now, they're also saying during the holidays, people should
take extra care when placing your wheelibins. With more visits
and cars parked on the streets, access can be tricky,
especially over the next few weeks, and some collections days
are pushed to Saturday due to public holidays. If your

(13:57):
street looks crowded, leave your bin in your driveway where
it's less likely to be blocked. If the bin is
blocked by cars, it may not be collected. Why would
you leave it in your driveway? Sure the arm grabby
arm's not going to reach that far?

Speaker 7 (14:12):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Twenty two past eight? If you've got to be a
part of a hit til twelve O eighty to eighty
nineteen nine two detective want to come through looking forward
to what you've got to say? Hi, Marcus. We visited
in Vericago at the weekend. The more car park had
two free flowing interests and only one tap and pay
area exit. We were stuck in forty five minutes of

(14:38):
traffic waiting to exit, people beeping, horns, yelling, etc. It
seems it was taking over one minute to process tap payments,
very slow. That's only sixty cars an hour could exit
with eighty plus waiting to leave, and the end of
guy just lifted up the arm and let people leave
without paying. Not great for business, Mitch. I have heard

(15:00):
this a number of times. It's not a car park
I've ever gone into. It does appear to be problematic.
This is the one above the new mall, so it
doesn't seem so that problem has been remedied. But thank
you for that. Yes, you won't have a quick egress,
don't you. That's the thing about them all. You want

(15:20):
to get out of there in a hurry. But thanks
for that for illuminating twenty three past eight. If you
want to be a part of it, hurtil midnight, start
looking forward to what you've got to say. Oh anyway,
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty other stuff I report
on throughout the course of the evening too, And do
get in touch, as I say, Oh eight hundred and

(15:41):
eighty today, Happy birthday. Dick van Dyke made the hundred.
Can't think of many actors that have made a hundred?
Can you think of any I'm not saying that actors
don't live long, but he did smoke and drank, drunk, drank,
But well done him. It was never a great actor.

(16:03):
Wasn't up there for the Academy Awards or anything? Was
he for Chilly City? BEng BEng And I can't think
of the others, but Dick Van Dyke leading the charge.
I don't know what he did to celebrate, but yes,
there wouldn't be many would have made that. Oh Jimmy

(16:23):
Carter did, didn't he at twenty four? Pasty? You want
to partake hentil twelve oh, eight hundred and eighty eight?
Do you get in touch? You want to be a
part of it? My name is Marcus Hittle, twelve Terry
Good Evening.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
Yeah, Hi, Marcus. Did Dick van Dyke at one hundred?
He's he's did a wonderful entertainer. There are a couple
of other ones. I can think even very Saint who
won and ask her for on the Waterfront, she did
one hundred, I think one hundred and one.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
And.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Um the June Lockhart, the actress he played, she did
ten one hundred and I think she died died a
few later or this year, so she reached a hundred,
but it's it's still uncommon.

Speaker 9 (17:12):
I think.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
I don't think it's the normal, even though people say,
you know, most people the generation being born now will
live into their hundreds. I think a lot of scientists
have said that we've reached I think.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
We would have all those microplastics, can't I think I
think that's I think we're in the golden age of longevity.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yeah, yeah, and I think getting most people would like
to think that that had eighty at least, you know,
get to eighty, and I've got kids and probably grandkids.
The thing with getting to a hundred and that kind
is that you end up outliving possibly your children. This
is a thing or a child, which you know, so

(17:53):
when you get very very old that there is that
possibility your children are old too. So but you know,
it's good that Dick Vandykes he you know, he's reached
that and you look fit and healthy and very skinny,
is the right.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
He does exact? Yeah, and he got that sort of
springing a step in a smile.

Speaker 10 (18:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
It looks like he's had a good hundred too. It
looks like he's happy with it.

Speaker 11 (18:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Well, he's written a book about how one hundred steps
to reach a hundred or so. I wouldn't mind reading that.
I think that it would be good. I think he
sings every day, he said, just you know, so singing
a little tune every.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Day, chim chimney around the house. Whony with a chim chimney.
You'll be doing all of that oney.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (18:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
And I think the next one that's going to hit
in that way is David Edinburgh. And he's age. I mean,
I'm up block.

Speaker 7 (18:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
How old is he?

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Dad?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Ninety seven or something? Ninety six, ninety nine. I will
mention ever, Tarafity and went to see that movie. I
wouldn't mind knowing what it was like. I remember having
been to the First of the Avatars and three D
at im I think it was an IMAX and it
was fru very good. I often say that was extremely
good movie, very good. However, I recall almost none of it.

(19:09):
I sort of remember them swinging from the vines. I
remember them getting on the spaceship and being transported. But
you know, as far as movies that stay with you
seem to me to be quite the opposite. I can't
quite work out why. I think it was the dialogue.
There were no bits of dialogue. I think, wow, gosh,
that's going to stay. Whether you made there was no
May the Force be with you. It was forgettable the dialogue.

(19:33):
And I struggle with why that is. If you want
to if you've got anything to say about that, that would
be event or if you saw the movie, would I
go and see it? Probably not for those three reasons.
So you might say something about that. I don't know
what you'd say. But if you've been to see it
in three three I think it's in three D. Yeah, gosh,

(19:56):
I saw them all out there in this tun What
a performance that was the launch. I was surprised about that.
There's only people tune up for that, but good on
them anyway, if you want to talk about that. But
that's also an it's anything goes tonight basically last four
days for me, So just up for what's happening. So
get in touch if you want to talk. He's or
twelve o'clock tonight, anything else that's important for you to

(20:18):
mention you. I'm here for all of it on this
fine Monday. So eight hundred and eighty itly oh, by
the way. Don't want to be the Southern promotional larm.
But we did have a very good Christmas in the
parment into Christmas appark for a long long time. But
gee was good. The weather was extraordinary and so yes
felt even slightly festive on the back of that. So

(20:41):
why am I saying that? Got no idea, but just
just got to put that out there. But yes, do
get in touch. You've got to be a part of
the show, Marcus till midnight tonight, anything goes if you
want to talk about that, oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty, you might have been talking about your highlights
of the year, or your worst of year, or your people.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
Of the year.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
In person of the Year, I don't know what people
do with that. There's always newsperson doing a person of
the year out there, or the media hero of the year.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
You might want to mention that might be something you
want to celebrate. Feel free to come through. Do you
think there's something that needs to be acknowledged tonight? Otherwise
we'll just keep persevering onwards, keep your texts coming through.
Wonder if anyone out there's ever met Dick Van Dyke
at one hundred. I'll mel Brooks one hundred next year, Marcus.

(21:29):
I take pride in my ability to absquatulate. Unfortunate didn't
work out so well at my nephew's wedding. My husband
and I went to the loo, taking different routes and
met outside. We're about to make a run for it.
I need to walk straight to the bride who was
having a smoke outside the entrance. We're a bit embarrassed,
but she was quite tipsys and pale of attention. I
hope you're a wonderful Christmas with family and friends, Gilly. Yeah,

(21:52):
that's different. If you're actually trying to slip away kind
of on a dodgy way and get caught, then you've
got to go back in Kirk Douglas and Olivia they
have one. We're about one hundred and three when they died,
So there we go. I mean, I guess, I guess
the extraord reality of making one hundred is you really

(22:13):
know you've only got one or two years left, don't you,
which must be a weird kind of a feeling. Twenty
six from nine and keep you updated with the news
throughout the course of the evening Tonight, all sorts of
more reports of more footage CCTV footage coming up of
the perpetrators of the crime in Australia, so expect a

(22:37):
lot of that. So yeah, video cameras everywhere these days obviously,
so that's going to happen. Just putting that out there.
But yeah, if you want to be a part of it,
that's the part of the discussion. Do get in touch
if you want to come through eight hundred and eighty
eighteen eighty and nine nine to de text. I guess

(22:57):
the question so far, if you're going to go to
Christmas if een something on Christmas dinner and you want
to leave us, it okay to just do the old
French goodbye or the Irish goodbye when you just leave.
Some people consider it the height of rudeness. I'm not
one of those. I've always think, yeah, whatever they won't know,
if people will never know, and that's not going to

(23:17):
hurt them. But yes, do get in touching on a partake.
It's twenty four away from nine. Anything else that what
you want to mention, I would like to hear from you.
And what's tappening with trade me? I see that's it.
In trouble Trade Me marketplace hit with one hundred and
thirty eight million dollar write down as revenue slides further. Wow,

(23:38):
that's a new and trade trade used goods. That must
be marketplaces taking their action.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I still find trade me pretty good. I'd prefer if
there was more listings, though I've been saying for a
while it seems to be quiet. You might want to
mention that. Also tonight are twenty four away from nine
looking forward to input Hittel twelve. Ah, there we go.
That's interesting. Marcus Evertar is into the theaters till to
see with the eighteen. Also surprise is the suspected murder

(24:07):
of direct director Rob Rhiner isn't more widely reported to discussed.
He did some great work, brilliant, absolutely brilliant. And look,
I don't know what the situation is. That story just
came through the last few hours. I see that his
Wikipedia page has already been changed. That happened quite smartly
to him being deceased, which I think is slightly strange

(24:29):
and surprising. And I just consens from the nature of
the reporting that Yeah, I don't know what's going on there.
Of course we will, you know, I mean they will
find out. But how can I say this, Yeah, it's
hard to know if if the police don't know what's
what has happened there now that Yeah, that's the sense

(24:53):
I got looking from those stories. But it's a bit
indecent to speculate on things like that. The latest reports
are director and actor found dead. Authorities investigating inverted commas
a parent homicide. So I've got no idea what that

(25:17):
really means. It had been reported that the two had
suffered wounds consistent with a knife attack. So there's been
no other reports about what's really happened there. They don't
say that, they don't. Yeah, it says at this time
the LAPD is not seeking anyone as a suspect or
as a person of interest, and we will not be

(25:38):
doing that until we conduct own investigation and we move forward.
But he was someone that was in the sweet spot
of the career for a number of years. Princess Bride,
all sorts of things. You remember his movie as well,
Harry met Sally, I think too a lot of them,

(26:01):
Harry met Sally, stand by Me, The Princess Bride Misery,
A few good Men and Sleepers in Seattle. He's also
you famously know him. He was a meat head who
was the son in law and all in the family,
who was the butt of many a jokes, great character,
one of the great characters, one of the great nicknames.

(26:23):
So as actor, director and producer, and many of his
great films he did all three with those. Yeah, yeah,
pretty extraordinary. What a great show that was. Now but

(26:46):
Lin Streets, we want to talk about any of these things?
As I say eight hundred and eighty, ten eighty and
nine to nine two to text, Marcus, trade me is
still good, but have got quite pricey. If you're a seller,
I find enough for me though. Eighteen from nine do
come through. You want to talk on it tonight? As
I say, here till midnight. Tonight is the last couple
of days, so hopefully we can strike a celebratory tone

(27:08):
for the final days. But get in touch if you
want to be a part of it. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty can email me also in text. I've read
those to all texts get written, Marcus. We brought a
red Joe for the car online at ALTNZ last Monday.
We are still waiting for the red jo tag to

(27:30):
turn up in the mail. We got a ticket today
for not displaying a carrot red jo by the council
parking person. I just wonder if anyone had this issue,
and if so, can the ticket be waved? Not our problem.
The mail is so slow. You have to wave the ticket,
wouldn't you? Seventeen to nine? It's fifteen? Oh yeah, I

(27:53):
tell you what. The heavy rains just come through. Boy
she's buckling down down here. I thought they'd fix the
air com but actually haven't got any air com. But boy,
oh boy, it was heavy rain. Next year was the
rain from outside coming through the roof. John Att's Marcus
leaving and welcome.

Speaker 12 (28:08):
Yeah, with that registration for the car. Yes, if you
once you get your sticker, you take it into the
the council or whoever issued the ticket, and that there
are ways that as long as you had applied and

(28:32):
online prior to getting the ticket.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Okay, well that's free reasonable and that would know I
wouldn't they because they'd have the record of that.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Yes too.

Speaker 11 (28:41):
Right.

Speaker 12 (28:41):
The other thing is that I've just done one now
and I.

Speaker 7 (28:46):
Took a.

Speaker 12 (28:48):
I took a a photo copy of the you know,
the application form that I sent in, and I've got
it sitting on the dashboard. So any any crop comes
along or someone comes long, I can show them straight
away that I've applied for it.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Perfect John, great advice. Someone's just email Jay's emailed through.
Also regarding the ridgio, when you do it online, you
can print out a temporary ridgio until the proper one
comes in the mail and you just put that on
your dashboard. Who knew changing, Well, that's amazing. I'll send
that to I'll send that to Crystal and I'll just

(29:32):
I'll copy and paste that and I'll see that she'll
know for next I presume she'll know for next time. Well,
good advice. I like the advice we get very good.
He'll twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty. Anything goes here to the end. Be
in touch if you want to be. It's thirteen to nine,

(29:53):
and be a part of if you want to be
any more information, I'll bring to you about some of
the breaking news stories happening around the world, and I
would like to hear from me if you want to
be a part of it. Now, let's see if there's
any other news I've got to tell you straight away. Um,

(30:19):
let me just have a quick look around. And he's
been a tragic down New Zealand too, hasn't it with
I think there's two people missing on the mountain, there's
two people as a helicopter pilot has died, there's two
people missing in field and there's two people or the's
two people died in field and two people missing on
Mount Cook. Also and bad weather, a really sketchy landing

(30:41):
or potential landing in Queenstown with men on board crying,
which I've never seen. And I say Timus and Travel
for selling dangerous magnets. These are ones that are tiny
and can be swallowed, and by all accounts, if children,

(31:04):
babies swallow, that's the consequences are devastating. So they are banned,
but you go on Timu and you can buy them,
and they're tiny, They're about two millimeters across each, so

(31:25):
that to worry. I kind of imagine they were. I
can't believe allowed to do that. Someone said, I never
hear my text when I text you. It's like as
markets having a petty Again. I read all the texts.

(31:47):
If you don't get them read, you should get in
cut touch with me because they always get read. Maybe
you're just texts, but the ones that sort of want
to be read going back through them forty years. I've
been listening to the show, listening to your ads. I
haven't been able to afford anything you're selling. Still can't.

(32:12):
Oh yeah, thanks for that. By the way, I don't
know if that's a topic for the night, but I
know that Tova O'Brien has been announced she will be
the host of Breakfast TV, which is an amazing childre
What the thing about Breakfast TV. It generates a huge
amount of comments and interest for who the host is,

(32:34):
probably more so than you would think that that slot
because I think for TV, unlike radio, I think for TV,
the breakfast you know, at six o'clock at night, which
is your peak viewing. I don't know the TV's peak.
The breakfast shows peak viewing, but there's always a great
deal of discussion around that. But people said, be fairly
happy that Toevera's on there, she should a great job.

(32:55):
I would to mention, seems to be fully astute. So
I think that was widely predicted that she would do that.
So she will be on that from I guess sometime
next year. Oh, I guess it's probably long because I've
always got contracts. They've got to get out of They
happened last time when she went to radio. I had
to wait around for a long time. But they don't
know how long a contract would be. They chuned through

(33:17):
them on Breakfast. Don't know why. Oh, someone said I
went to Christmas in the Park on said they took
the kids. They loved it. I love it to The
other question I have, where were the Christmas songs? Well,
you have to tell me which of the Christmas part
Christmas in the Parks you went to, because the one

(33:37):
I went to there are a lot of Christmas songs.
There was the Bluff Drama Club doing Christmas songs. Who
was a men's choir and Christmas songs on that Probably
half of them were Christmas songs. So yeah, I certainly
think that was ticked. Anyway, Eight away from nine be

(33:58):
a part of the show. If you want to hitdle twelve,
it's seven away from nine. People have just inded, well,
commend good evening here till twelve o'clock if you want
to get through before the news quickly. I can handle that.
Whatever's on your mind. I'm sure I can drum up
a conversation around that. Someone did want to go about
it said to be a great topic about people about

(34:19):
the background music under all TV programs beneath the dialogue.
It's almost like you need a button to turn that off.
Now someone's complaining about Christmas in the park in Auckland.
I was at the Auckland one second half was basically
a concert. Great night, but would have loved to have
some Christmas I think, I think that. I think the

(34:41):
long story short is most Christmas songs are duds. They're
either two churchy or they've got no beat. So there's
only three or four that don't get them up, and
they're all be terrible. Like yes, Christmas songs aren't God
When they try and make them commercially appealing. Ones like
I saw Mummy kissing Santa Clause, I mean they should

(35:05):
never be played again, most of them, and Silent Night
to Churchy, all those ones once in Royal David City
are away in a manger that's not for the domain.
With one hundred thousand people on the wines, they're not
going to want that. No, that's not good, but yeah,
I reckon, that's good of us. That's what you want.

(35:26):
Is basically a concert. Ali Express also sell micro magnets
the smallest bean half a millimeter, Marcus with least season,
full swing and Christmas place every overle to question with you,
what's your guaranteed dance floor starter? About fifteen years ago,
Mate and I stumbled onto one that somehow works every time.

(35:47):
You don't expect that, you don't see it coming, but
to give a few seconds and suddenly people are smiling, singing, moving,
stuck in the middle with you by steel wheels, no
matter the crowd, no matter the viber, just pulls everyone
in Nickett's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 13 (36:02):
Yeah, I hate marcuistons.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Nick here.

Speaker 13 (36:04):
I just like, hey, hey, Marcuess, I'd just like to
wish you and Dan are really happy Christmas in New Year.
Thanks for all the good work you've done this year.
My pleasure, pleasure wondering. I was just wondering if you
could give a shout out to my two girls, high

(36:26):
school girls. And they faithfully listen to you all the time, Nabergail.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
And when you say when you say a shout I
just say, now good are beg? Is that what you
mean by ship? I'm never quite sure what a shout
out means.

Speaker 13 (36:38):
Yeah, that would be great because that they're listening to
you right.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Now, brilliant. How are they are they school age?

Speaker 12 (36:44):
Did you say the high school?

Speaker 4 (36:48):
High age?

Speaker 13 (36:49):
Charlott of sixteen and seteen? And they love your show
and I love your show and we listened here every night.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Have you got them working for the holidays? They are
out and about doing stuff?

Speaker 13 (37:03):
Are they are doing work and in the gardens And
we got we went to an open fun day yesterday
and the girls got a chalk each. They have chalks here.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
What's an open farm day?

Speaker 13 (37:22):
So they have there's a farmer and Taranaki here, he's
a rare breed farmer and yeah, he has a couple
of open days every year. And the girls picked out
a bantams each yesterday and we bought them home. And

(37:42):
we've now got eight bandon's here and they're all rare
they're all rare breeds and the girls feed them and
we get the eggs off them.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
Yeah that's amazing.

Speaker 13 (38:01):
Yeah yeah, And I'd just like to thank thank you
and Dan for the great, great week you do this year,
and Charlot and they have to go a would too
because they just love listening to you.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Okay, I've got to run for heads, but thanks so
much and thank you, Charlotte, Abigail and News up next Greetings,
Welcome head to twelve, seven past nine. Someone's texted through
it says, meet Christmas, Marcus and Dan. Then they say ops,
spell check, Merry Christmas. Thank you. Someone says in the
world's most ridiculous rhetorical question ever, our Christmas crack is

(38:34):
worth the money. I don't think anyone has ever opened
a Christmas Cracker thinking that what is going to follow
would be either joyous or fun. What normally happens is
the tube collapses, the bang is suppressed, the cap breaks
when you put it on terrible things. That's just future landfall.

(38:57):
No one should buy any of the stuff, But that's me.
I hate to say it, but I'd be even opposed.
It wouldn't even be wouldn't would probably be a fan
of of demystifying Father Christmas. But that's just me. I
realize that's probably sacred to some people. But cheapest creepers.
What a pilava Hit'll twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome,

(39:18):
be in touch if you want to. All the lines
are free, anything goes. It's the Friday free for all
all week this week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Anything go,
I'm winding up. Most of the other hosts have left.
I'm stuck here. We'll do what we can, but it
feels like we're kind of an early start to the
holiday season, so I want to get you into the
holiday mood. Also, watch those car parks at supermarkets. It's
chaos out there. Some revery bad driving. It's like a

(39:41):
bad driving week. There'll be a lot of fender benders,
a lot of people tooting. Because the trouble with our
Christmas season and also coincides with it been revery hot,
so people are hot and stressed. Dangerous combo. Not a
good combo, bad combo, So be aware of that. Don't
know how what else should do? Take more time or

(40:02):
plan or something plan for you. Yeah, that'd be my answer.
Or get more organized to do it all online. That's
probably your best bet. Any who, eight oh people soon

(40:24):
have enjoyed Oprah. Thank you, Marie, great Marcus, love your show.
Have a great holy only thing. I hope we don't
get the full and hosts playing music all the time.
We got to love the music. And does anyone got

(40:47):
any comments about Christmas in the park? Was it Christmas enough?
I was at the Auckland Christmas in the Park second
half was basically a concert. Great night, but would have
loved to have some Christmas themed songs. I don't know
who makes those decisions, but it's quite a broad audience.

(41:12):
It's probably quite a broad audience, and I don't want
to trigger you, but also probably with Auckland Christmas in
the Park, I would imagine that a lot of those
that would be attending probably would not have been people
that necessarily would have been brought up with carols and
from that sort of background. So you've got to broad you.

(41:37):
You know, we're diversifying and the audience as broader, so
you probably want to go with a broader I don't
know why they do that. Don't get too triggered. That
would be my that would be my assumption with that one.
So yeah, get in touch. Also, Dick van Dyke a
hundred in the weekend already, so we were waiting to
get one hundred and one now, but yeah, eleven past nine.

(41:57):
If you want to talk, my name is Marcus, welcome, oh,
eight hundred and eighty eight. Anything else you want to
talk about? As I said, your chance, it's a free
for all. It's a total free for all. Get in
touch to be a part of it. There are other
topics for you. I've got do you want topics? I
don't know where you're at this time of the night.
This day of nineteen thirty nine, Gone with the Wind premiered, yes,

(42:19):
right at the start of World War two. Good film,
goodish film. It's a big movie, isn't it. I've watched
it not on the big screen. By the way. Canterbury
moving to restricted five season tonight at midnight. And also
Tovah O'Brien will be the new breakfast presenter, which people
sing to be very very happy with. And this story

(42:43):
passed me by, but Johnny Tata he's through to the
next round at the darts first appearance the word Tonian
former European champ are Richie Edhouse and straight sets to
advance to the second round. We better look at what

(43:04):
has walk on song, as that's always what I get
excited about. Love a good walk on song. Yeah, Hi, Nick,
this is Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 14 (43:16):
Yeah, goody, how are you?

Speaker 3 (43:17):
God? Thank you Johnny Nick.

Speaker 14 (43:21):
Yeah, I'm I'm sort of instant.

Speaker 13 (43:24):
To talk to you.

Speaker 14 (43:24):
I'm a when you're on your old guy I just
finished up Yuni. I'm writing for a magazine at the moment.
I'm really interested in journalism and radio in particular. I'd
love to know from someone in the industry sort of
where do you think it's hitting, and equally, how do
you get into it?

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Where is radio heading? And how do you get into
is this? Is this for your article? Is this for
an article? Or just out of interest?

Speaker 15 (43:52):
No? Just just out of interest? No, no, no, just
just out of personal interest.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Okay, we discuss this quite often. There's quite a lot
of analysis about this. They always talk about radio has
been the cockroach, the form of medium that can survive anything,
because people are kind of confined to their cars more
and more so they're stuck listening to the radio morning

(44:17):
and night. So the radio audience has not dropped, whereas
the audience probably for TV and print has dropped traumatically.
So radio is considered fairly healthy. I think what will
happen with radio is that people will stop listening on

(44:38):
the radio, They'll stop listening on the frequencies, and they'll
start listening more and more on phones and on computers.
I think that's what's probably gonna happen. But yeah, it's
one of those things you can listen to as you
do other stuff. So I think probably the future is
quite bright. What are the options for radio? I guess
probably the work options for radio get less and less

(45:00):
as the industry gets more and more automated, you know,
and often to at nighttime show they just pre record
them all, so you just get someone going to the
studio for an hour and doing the whole four hour show.
That's the reality. And I don't know why that's the reality,
but just you know, private companies want to make more money.
They do that with their broadcasters. So I think even

(45:23):
though the industry is in strong form, there aren't there
There aren't their openings there once were. There's only one
talk station now, so there's not a huge opening for
talk hosts. And the people are there in those jobs
tend to hang on to them because they're good jobs
to have. That will That's what I would imagine. I
think probably the one, the one probably thing that the

(45:43):
radio listening audience might be pivoting into would be podcasts.
But I don't know how long podcasts are going to
go for because the podcasts in New Zealand it just
seems to be about twenty people interviewing each other.

Speaker 15 (45:59):
Well, and it gets boring as well, can.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Really boring up and engate with it? Yeah, really boring.
You've got Paula been interviewing Tone Street, and then that's
next week it's they swappened and Dom Harvey interviews Tony
Street and paul A Bed and the next day paul
A bit. Yeah, it just it just seems as that
they interview each other, and I don't know how interesting

(46:21):
that is. I mean, we don't have real, genuinely famous
people in this country, so it always sounds a bit
lowbrow to me.

Speaker 15 (46:30):
Yeah, it's not. I don't think it's the sort of
I agree with you. I don't know if there's that
much activity certain like as long as as long as
we need the radio, like radio stations and radio towers
for like emergencies and stuff, and there's still going to
be an industry around that, I suppose, like it's a
pretty as a technology, it's pretty pretty crucial.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
I don't know what's going to happen where, because if
you're in a radio station, you pay big money for
frequencies and there aren't many available. The government highly regulates
that they have and they have frequency options, And I
think last time the one of the christ War frequencies
went thro about six million dollars. But as radio, as
radio goes on onto computers and onto phones, and the
frequency has become less important, and it's already happened. Anyone

(47:13):
now can set up a radio station, and whether they
will start, whether they will start challenging the traditional stations,
I don't know. I don't know if you set up
your own radio station in your house, how you manage
to get publicity for that, to get that to get
a big audience. Now, I don't know any examples of

(47:34):
people that have done that, but I wouldn't discount that
in the future that someone just from you know, that
someone could be an extraordinary communicator or have a great
kind of take on the world, could start their own
radio station, play good music or have conversation and could
get big, big market share. But I haven't seen that
happen yet.

Speaker 15 (47:52):
Well, I'm sure there's probably a way to do, like
I guess a podcast or something that people are listen to. Yeah,
you could. You could do your radio so live and
then sort of upload it later on for all of
the services.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Yeah, and then I don't know. I don't know if
that's is that a radio show or is it then
a podcast?

Speaker 15 (48:11):
Well e definitely or a live it's live podcast almost yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I think probably I think the radio industry, I think
they're always worry about where the next your talent's coming from,
because it's hard to actually there aren't many opportunities for
people to kind of get that, to get on here
and try that stuff, because there aren't that many openings anyway.
That's my take from me, and that I hope no
one found that to indulge in eighteen past nine get

(48:36):
in touch if you want to Hittell twelve. You might
have your own comment about that also, or you might not.
Oh that's right. I also think I was going to
mention to Neck is Ai. I think there will be
AI hosts, and I think they're probably already is AI
radio hosts. But you don't know, because how would you
tell if it's a real person or just an AI host.

(48:57):
I don't think you could tell. I think ais come
so quickly. There probably could be radio hosts radio shows now,
and the person hosting the show as a computer. I
don't think there is, but I couldn't be certain. I
mean if you're the boss. What would you do if
you could get a computer that no one could tell

(49:18):
the difference? Would you do that? You probably would text?
Parcel pirates are on the prowl. So my question is
for career drivers, do you report notify anybody if you
notice you've been followed on every road? Or is it
not your problem? After delivery? Thank you? How does a

(49:40):
sheep say Mary Christmas fleece Navidad? What did fans think
of the hour long season finale of Shortened Street tonight?
I thought it was ridiculous. Rob Ryiner was rue of
the genius writers. Next by one of the great films
of all times. This is Spinal Tap marcaus I love Tim,

(50:00):
but don't buy USB charges off Tim. I had one
set off the smoke lum off it after overheated and
started bl and smoking. Dddy. Someone's complaining about Toba, although
they spelled her name Toba, and they're saying, not many
people watching, but our texts pay for that nonsense. Your

(50:23):
textas don't pay for it. Tivan need's a TV and
zed to set an enterprise that pays a divodend to
the government. I think the books were fairly smart for it.
This year they returned quite a big profit. So it's
my understanding that no texts are going to that. Rn
Z would be a different thing. R in Z is

(50:44):
paid for by taxes, but Tievan did the very different Kiderfish.
It's paid for by advertisers. That's why they have advertisements
on it. So yeah, I don't think your texts are
paying for you know. So it's fine to have an opinion,
but I don't think it's a valid one or a
well informed one. Marcus walk in the South on Coastline.

(51:07):
We were roving and Bluff on the twentieth of December.
Please check out our Facebook page at the Walk of
Goodness and feel free to give us a caller you'd
like to chat. Grant, Katie and Sam Sam. Now we
don't call people, but you are more than welcome anytime
to tune as you arrive. It's a long walk. You've
got to come along the ty plincher and double right

(51:28):
back around. Be worth doing though, be easy walking out
of Bluff butt well done. You're get in touch twenty
one past nine, beckon a bit ah, how are you people?
Twenty three past nine. I get in touch If you
want to be a part of the show. If not,
that's fine. I can handle that. But bit bits and

(51:49):
Bobby tonight, Yeah, and that's okay for me. But you
do get in touch with you want to talk. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, I didn't watch President
Trump's coin toss anyone, see that's he got some flack
for that. Quite often you go on websites, it says
look at something, and you click on it, and you've
got to watch a thirty second head and then you

(52:09):
never see it in the end anyway, Is that just
my experience drives me crazy? Yeah, Grant, Marcus, welcome who Grant? Yeah,
it's Marcus. Good evening. Hi, Hi, what's ceptin?

Speaker 15 (52:30):
We're doing this walking?

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Yeah, you're doing it slowly. I've seen you on Facebook
over the You're doing it just in the summer, are you.

Speaker 9 (52:42):
We do it every every three or four weeks. We'll
do a few legs. So yeah, from Krash Shoots to
Bluff was the original. And we're eventually going to go
all around the South Island right coastline and beach and yeah,
we've got the Fort Rose and coming across to.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Your little so you'll be coming do you Are you
religious with how you follow the coast.

Speaker 9 (53:06):
Reasonably but not really. If we run into sort of obstacles,
we will walk around by road, but that's pretty rare.
We've walked sort of ninety eight percent of the coast
I think is pretty Yeah, we do. We do all
of it.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
So are you going up and down the tidoraa and
then getting to the or across the Batta over will you?

Speaker 8 (53:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (53:26):
Well, well, we've got a list organized to get across
from the tower and then we walked down the beach
to t Y and then we have two vehicles, so
we double back and forth and drive around to Bluff
and then walk on towards Riverton from there.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
So you will right, Will you walk right round Arra
or a bay? Or once you get to the end
of t Y, will you go across the ocean?

Speaker 10 (53:48):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (53:49):
Yeah, when we get to rivers or estuaries and we
just drive around.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Understand, I understand, I understand. Okay, And will you go
to Pusaga.

Speaker 9 (54:02):
We made Yeah, take the South coast track which goes
almost all the way there. We'll go as far as
we can and then we won't do the fieldland it'll
be too much, and then do the rest of the
South Island later. I've already done, or we did a
few years ago, the half of the west coast of
the South Island. Sure, slowly dicking around a whole lot.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
You could get to Pisagar. Yes, yeah, there is a
telephone line that you can follow, but it's it's a
tiger country.

Speaker 9 (54:34):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's right. We're not really hikers or trampers.
We call ourselves sort of coastal wanderers.

Speaker 7 (54:41):
Really.

Speaker 9 (54:41):
We just take our time and enjoy the coastline and
beaches as we go. It's been pretty pretty awesome. Bops,
it's taken us two years to get to where we
are at the moment.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Much rubbish, Oh not really.

Speaker 9 (54:55):
Actually, it's surprisingly little occasionally around the mouths of the
big rivers, but no, a lot of it. A lot
of it just gets washed away. Actually, especially around the
southern part of the South Island, there's so much swell
action and wind action it seems to just get all
swept away. So yeah, they're surprisingly little, which has been
which has been good?

Speaker 3 (55:16):
And what about the Sea Lions? Have they been Okay?

Speaker 9 (55:20):
Yeah, the Sea Lions have been great. I think we've
walked past the home of every single mainland Sea lion
so far. But what's surprising about them is that they
are just so gigantically huge. They roll the roost and
we we are like sleas to them that we are
nothing to the end that we keep our we keep
a good distance. But yeah, they are surprisingly huge their mess.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
And we came across some at the You want have
seen them at the White Papa Point lighthouse because we
did that foretroys white paper Walk and saw about four
or five just camped there and they weren't going anywhere.

Speaker 9 (55:54):
Yeah, that's right, they just stay. They just stay put.
They sleep in a lot as well.

You're doing it, well, yeah, we do it with a.

Speaker 9 (56:15):
Bit of comfort and just slowly and then just enjoy
the It's all about the goodness of walking. Stretching out
the body and soul is what we what.

Speaker 7 (56:24):
We call it.

Speaker 9 (56:25):
So the best type of beach is an endless speech
where you can't see the end, which most people will
turn their nose up at.

Speaker 15 (56:31):
But once you're going on.

Speaker 9 (56:33):
A beach like that, yeah, it's it's superb, but it
takes you to another place. It's great.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
And what's the dynamic of the three are you? Are
you a couple in a child or it's.

Speaker 9 (56:44):
Oh yes, sorry. The third one is our little dog
Sandy understand. Yeah, so Katie and I, Yeah, we're partners. Yeah,
we've been doing it that. You get it the whole way.
So yeah, it's good. It was great coming through the
Catlands recently too, it was oh beautiful.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
I'm just going to go to headlines too, But just
before you go, what if people want to follow you
along on Facebook? That's a public thing, is it, Yes.

Speaker 9 (57:08):
It is. It's all wide open, so you welcome people
to follow us and join us. Yeah, it's great. We
write a few wounds each time. We have a lot
of funnel along the way.

Speaker 3 (57:17):

The Walk of Goodness. Grant love you to hear from you.
Thank you so much for ringing, and no doubt we

of Goodness. Do get in touch if you want to
talk to By the way, people, I'm here on midnight,
oh eight hundred and eighty say I'll get to the
text when I can and feel free to come through.
It's a very chilled out kind.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
Of a night.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Text Tullo Marcus, happy birthday at Dick van Dyker turn
one hundred years on Saturday thirty tocee such a comedian.
He said that he's still looking for work and Julie
Andrews was ninety years on the first of October. You know,
I have mentioned Dick van Dyke, but I don't know
what you call him a comedian. I guess probably was
more like an old school comedia, like a song and
dance man. I thought, and talking about trade me and

(58:07):
trade me is not demise, but there well, maybe you
call a demise Marcus. I want to update you about
the caravan I sold last week. It was going to
cost me two hundred dollars listed on trade me, so
instead I decided list on Facebook Marketplace. I got the
price I wanted and sold it within a week of listening.

(58:27):
I was planning to list on trade me if I
didn't get any bites, but I'm glad I made the switch.
I hope you're doing well. So I don't know that
I don't know much about marketplace, Facebook Marketplace I've been
warned off it by punters, but I understand it's free
and marketplace. Just monetize it by the commit by placing
ant on it. I guess so, yes, that's a big difference,

(58:47):
Isn't it turn dollars to nothing? Tovah is a hard
working journalist. Wish her well. There you go, and someone's
to talk about the parcel pirates. I though they're called
porch pirates. But yeah, I'm hearing you be in touch
if you want to be a part of the show,
Marcus till midnight tonight, do come through eight hundred eighty

(59:11):
ten eighty. Yes. I don't know what's something with trade me,
but they've written down the value of their air set
one hundred and thirty eight million dollars. The Trade Me
has been consistently shrinking in recent years. Revenue for the
business fell to sixty six million, down from seventy five

(59:33):
million twenty twenty four, and down from a peak of
ninety million and twenty twenty two. It's interesting I've seeing
the sort of the online, the growth of trade me,
and then the demise. Yeah, it's it's no longer owned
by stuff. Fore it's no longer owned but it's now

(59:53):
owned by a Guernsey based private equity firm. Classified Business's
performance remained strong, So I guess that's houses and cars.
It says. Trade Me, which is seven hundred employees, has
been New Zealand's raining e commerce giant for two decades,
with a cheap Chinese online retail such as Timo were
likely to represent stiff competition and maybe shifting. He's into

(01:00:14):
spending habits away from secondhand burchesses. I'd rather go secondhand
than old magnets and Temu twenty seven away from ten Alison, Hello,
ats Marcus, good evening, Hello.

Speaker 16 (01:00:27):
Just for a breakfast p I M. I can't understand
why they can't have two male presenters there. Daniel Votara
has been very good. Why couldn't they have him on
there now? Because he's been on television. He's not on
very much at all now, just a little bit of
segment of seven sharp occasionally, but he used to be
a presenter on there. Why can't he be on there now?

(01:00:48):
What I would say, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
And I guess that has to do with whether they
whether he wants maybe he doesn't want to do it.

Speaker 16 (01:00:55):
A lot of a lot of male female don't say there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:59):
A lot of the journalists that have come from a
junist background might find that sitting around on the couch
chatty chatty to the weather person, you know that they
might want something a bit more, They might want to
get there. They might want something a bit more journalistic
rather than.

Speaker 16 (01:01:15):
Or much of a story he does on seven other
very fluffy stories.

Speaker 7 (01:01:18):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't watch that. So he's
doing the fluff anyway, the breakfast fluff.

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Is it what you're saying, Yeah, it seems to me.

Speaker 16 (01:01:26):
I forgear, that's right. I find it a bit child.
It's just a couple of weeks ago. I think if
the presenter's on there and if the cecle their car
breaks down and they can't get in there, we don't
need to know that. And then to fresh up on
the screen that such and such had slept in, I
think that is pretty mean. So I wouldn't watch it now.
I don't even tune into.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
It, because tell me more about that what happened one of.

Speaker 16 (01:01:47):
The presenters was well, one of the precenters obviously slept
in or something, but they step putting up on the
screen all along the screen to tell us all that. Well,
I don't think we need to know. That's none of
our business.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
I see what you're saying.

Speaker 16 (01:02:00):
I think it's very childish.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Yeah, yeah, well, I guess they're trying to be relatable
and you know, to make out that they're kind of
like it's a bit clubby. I guess is the you know,
they want to make out their mates. I suppose.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Well, yeah, you see the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Audience at the light The audience at the night time
is a lot bigger than the breakfast audience. The breakfast
audience would reach about two undred thousand people. In the
evening it'd be about six hundred. I haven't seen the
ratings for a while. They used to make them public.
But you've only got about a third as many people
watching in the morning as you would at night. So
most people that would prefer to work in the night
time because it's you know, you get you get remunerated more,

(01:02:34):
and it's a more serious time of the day, I think,
because people sit down to watch like you'd watch the
news and seven sharp would you, Well, yeah, I.

Speaker 16 (01:02:42):
Noticed seven sharp has last the last night. Tonight they
had a lot of just repeats on there. They seemed
a bit the one about the horses tonight was already
been shown. Stephen Adams had been shown before and I
for one free she had her show, has she?

Speaker 3 (01:02:58):
Yeah, she was on this weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
I think Harry.

Speaker 16 (01:03:00):
Barry's involved in that, and she she was, Oh, oh
I should be at that, wouldn't she? Because I thought
he was involved with that. She was going to be
the person interviewing.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
I think that was the weekend, was it?

Speaker 16 (01:03:11):
I didn't mention that. I just wonder where that was.
The whole thing was a repeat on seventeen.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
Oh, so they just get the old thing. And that's
a bit lazy, isn't it.

Speaker 16 (01:03:18):
There was a wee, but yeah, it seemed to be
they seem to just join Well, they're all seen old
stories redone again.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
They always do a best of the year, don't they.
They just rerun them.

Speaker 16 (01:03:28):
Yes, and that Brooper is J Chase's Broovers are twenty
twenty one repeat tonight, So they're doing a lot of
repeats already, a lot of repeats.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Oh that sounds terrible.

Speaker 16 (01:03:38):
Have they shown our and our bloopers twenty twenty one?

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Cheapest creepers? Have they shown?

Speaker 16 (01:03:47):
Thought it's four years ago?

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Are they shown what's the Christmas shows are on yet.

Speaker 16 (01:03:52):
No, but you look, and you look. I went through
thee the guy coming up is an awful lot of
a Christmas ones all coming up tonight, starting tonight, all through.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Have you got the TV guide for next week? There
with you on? Next Week's not Christmas?

Speaker 7 (01:04:03):
Is it?

Speaker 16 (01:04:04):
When I go through my remote on my my TV remote,
I can go through it till next week and go
through a whole week ahead and a lot of Christmas
ones already coming up. Old stuff, so rehashed, is what
I'd say.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
I think, I think tomorrow. I think tomorrow the Christmas
showtime come out.

Speaker 16 (01:04:23):
Well, give us a clue, give us a clue. Christmas Special,
Well that was years ago. Paula Bennett was in that,
and that's that was done.

Speaker 5 (01:04:29):
We haven't had I hosted.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Give us a clue once it was years ago.

Speaker 16 (01:04:36):
You're one of thank Lord, that.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
Would there'll be nineteen ninety seven or nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 16 (01:04:41):
Well, this was Paula Bennett, I think, and that she
was hosting. Well she you weren't hosting it the way?
Were you hosting it?

Speaker 8 (01:04:46):
All?

Speaker 6 (01:04:46):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
I was.

Speaker 16 (01:04:47):
I was oh ah right, oh that's after that, Well,
won't be your one? Then you aren't getting any extra money.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
For that rules Okay, I like your spirit tell us
and now she's lively. Oh oh yeah. People don't love
to have a grizzle about DVA, but yes, but I'm
a shame for some people that look forward to seeing that.
And then you've got something repeated. Marketplace and trade me
we are talking about. You want to say something about that,

(01:05:14):
I don't know what you'd say, but get in touch
if you want to be a part of it. Here
till twelve and I always thought people said a marketplace
you'd never get paid, which was always a downer for
me because I don't want to have to go into
a trade in person. I like the whole way that
people post things on trade me. I love the fact

(01:05:37):
they send that away. You just get in the curious
entity or wrapped up and old papers and stuff. However,
if you want to talk about these or anything else tonight,
these things or any anything else come through oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty, I would imagine an Australia talk back.

(01:05:57):
They'll be having many discussions over the coming weeks about firearms.
I guess that will be a thing first and foremost
for them. And I'm already hearing the beginnings of those
sorts of discussions. Bearing in mind once I had the
Port Arthur's shooting in Australia that John Howard, who was

(01:06:20):
the premiere, was very quick to ban. It happened very
very quickly to ban semi automatics, I think it was,
and it was in nineteen ninety six, so I've almost
had thirty years with I don't think there's been any
events similar to this one, but now no doubt there

(01:06:43):
will be further restrictions on firearms, I would suspect. Anyway,
it's Twitter away from ten. If you want to talk
here on midnight, it's not looking forward to your calls.
Good evening, Jan, This is Marcus. Welcome, Hi Dean.

Speaker 11 (01:07:00):
Marcus, my experiences trade me. It's the computer up at
the library, and I've sold lots of the houses and
I renovated and advertied them and trade me wow and yeah,
very good. And I got the librarians to help me

(01:07:24):
put the pictures on from my camera and we're all
the sweet so got them, sold them and everything that's good.
I didn't manage, Jane.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
When were you buying and selling houses? How long ago
was this?

Speaker 11 (01:07:43):
Ah? Not last year, not this year, not last year.
I tried to sell the phone last year, but I
didn't succeed that the maybe this was that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
You didn't want to use real estate agents.

Speaker 11 (01:08:02):
I can't stand them.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Tell me about that. Tell tell me about that, Jen.

Speaker 11 (01:08:07):
Well, first of all, they undervalue things like a property
was they was to seventy and the real estate agent
wanted to sell it for one hundred and eighty.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
And how much did you sell it?

Speaker 11 (01:08:28):
Well that I didn't. Now I'm right. I've written out
my will and writing I'm leaving it to people in
the family and said there will benefit from us. They
can do what they like. Cliff had probably sell it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
And seems like a check farm, Jen, I might be interested.

Speaker 11 (01:08:56):
Do you think, yeah, you can have it for too eighty?

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
And how is it?

Speaker 11 (01:09:02):
Ah, I don't know. An acres at one point seven
one thousand and seven hundred hectas, so it's only little,
but it has a mature orchard and it's flat and
five minutes to the beach.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
What trees are on the orchard, Oh.

Speaker 11 (01:09:27):
But of everything, really big mature trees loaded.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
What fruit? What fruit like apples and pears?

Speaker 11 (01:09:35):
No apples, But there are periods lots of grapes, and
I can't remember now, but the neighborhood helped themselves to
all of it. The children climb over the fence and
take bucket loads away.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
So you know, sounds idyllic, it's perfect.

Speaker 11 (01:10:00):
But there are three titles to see, so you can
build on one and sell the other two.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
I'd hang on to that if I was you. That
sounds like that sounds like it's your time will come.

Speaker 11 (01:10:15):
My time has come, Marcus. I'm going to pop off.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
I don't I don't like these sorts of discussions, Jan,
But when when we what are we talking about when
we say soon? Well, day, I don't think I don't
think so, Jen.

Speaker 11 (01:10:32):
I'm writing down instructions for the inheritors, Jolie Kat keeps
getting in the way. So and I'm trying to send
all these parcels after you talk back host to thank
you for all the years that you've helped me keep
me going. I'm given the entertainment, Jan.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
What sort of parcels.

Speaker 11 (01:10:56):
Christmas parsles containing Christmas present?

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Well, that's exciting, Yeah, you do one t Nick Mills
in Wellington. He's a good man, You've got good taste
and what he's a good man. Nick Mills, you've got
good taste.

Speaker 11 (01:11:19):
And to all the ones up and a wow is
going to have a job today, curting him off. I mean,
even just carrying the persil for me is the text.
You will help me, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
And have you got any Have you got an exciting
Christmas plan?

Speaker 11 (01:11:43):
That's why I hit it on the twenty fifth.

Speaker 3 (01:11:46):
You had already. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if I
like this. I don't know if I like this discussion.
Why did you have it early?

Speaker 11 (01:11:56):
Because I might not be here.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
I'm sure you will be.

Speaker 11 (01:12:01):
Probably, won't.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
You got to be here. You've got to be here
when I come back on the twenty seventh, whenever that is.
Look forward to that, yeah, God, please you guys say
to look forward to Jan. There we go, and looking
forward to the present too, Jan, thank you for that
brilliant twelve to ten evening, Sue, this is Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 17 (01:12:24):
I'm Marcus. Just quickly calling about the lady that rang
about the repeat of the chase. I think that'll put
that on because the advertised program and the TV guy
was Sydney's.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Yeah, okay, that makes me say the repeat of the
chase appreciate that. Thanks so much, Sue. Yeah, of course
TV will always do that. They're always mindful if there's
something that some drama or something that will replicate or
be sensitive to people, they will always pull that. And
I don't think anyone have any doubts about that. Someone
else's text that through said Marcus Pardon Meth has already mentioned.

(01:13:01):
I just tuned in. I think the TV schedule change
tonight after the tragy in Sydney. I saw on a
sky Guy that as Sydney Killer Cop program we scheduled,
but instead we saw a rerun of Chase Bloopers. No,
I don't know what that show was about. Someone's texted
me more about that, but yeah, that would be to
do with sensitivity of the topic, of course. Yeah, you
can imagine what would happen with that. That was this

(01:13:25):
year was the story about there. There was a shooting
a year or two ago. Seemed to be a love
triangle or something. I can't remember the full details, but
that's what that documentary was about. So yeah, I guess
they had every right to pull that. I don't think
it's a thousand hectores. I think it's a thousand square
meters I think that's her orchard, although it's I rot it.

(01:13:47):
You can do of a house, but not listen on
trade me. I mean that because that takes skills, doesn't it.
But good on the librarian for helping out. We probably
need to thank the librarian day for some of the
requests that I'm sure I didn't go to librarian school
to teach people how to use trade me. So good
on them for that, taking that with such and doing
that with such dignity. I'm a here it or Roman
takes over with should be around about twelve o'clock at

(01:14:08):
seven past ten. Good evening, John, Welcome at to Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:14:13):
Yeah, hi Marcus and your listeners. Just something I'll share
with you is I just hear about the crayfish, the
stocks that they're going to be looking after. Well, many
many years ago, I was in charge of the crayfish
and in those days they used to just drown them

(01:14:34):
like they're come in and bulk and we'd put them
in tanks with fresh water, and of course you drown
them and then they packed them well when they come
in for live export sending crayfish out of New Zealand.
I was a part of that and of course, a

(01:14:55):
lot of the math used to come round at nighttime
to check on the stocks, and the fishermen used to
stretch the tails, of course, to get that extra link,
and of course they weren't allowed. And as we were
going through their catch, we put them into cases, and
of course I never I took them back to sea,

(01:15:18):
and a lot of people would grab them or eat
them or whatever. That I sort of kept them and
I dumped them in one spot all the time. And
I've never told anybody where I dumped them, Marcas. And
hopefully these stocks have come back plentiful.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Yeah, are you going to go back to that spot
or that's your job done?

Speaker 10 (01:15:44):
Now that my job was well and truly done then
And yeah, but I used to go there two o'clock,
three o'clock in the morning, and of course that's the
time we sought them, and I used to put them
back to sea, and I enjoyed it. You know, other
people would have eaten them or for or what whatever.

(01:16:07):
You know that I was the one to give them
a chance. And of course the.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
Fishermen in the South Island.

Speaker 10 (01:16:14):
Yeah, down sir, down in Dunedin.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Okay, I understand.

Speaker 7 (01:16:17):
Yep, yep, yep, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:16:19):
And of course a lot of the fishermen in those days,
like I said, they used to give them a stretch
to make them, so they're illegal to take. And of
course when we used to get them in the in
the in the fisheries, you can't you can't have small fish,
you know, Yeah, it's illegal. So that I used to
keep them each night because there's catchers coming in every night.

(01:16:44):
It never stops seven days a week, you know. And
I'm talking big crayfish. I'm not talking about cocker billy's.
I'm talking tons. And I was quite pleased for myself
to let these fish have another chance in life. It
was wonderful that the live export. I thought that was
great because.

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
They kind they kind of chill them. They chill them
a bit before they export them to kind of say moveless.
Is that right?

Speaker 10 (01:17:11):
Oh yeah, I can tell you a good story on
that one, because we tried to save money by sending
them to the Dunedin airport or shall we truck them
through the christ And of course I had that job
of cutting them through and of course I got to
Timaru and I could hear them scratching inside the polystyring.
So I knew full well it was a fail, so

(01:17:33):
I quickly reversed myself and saved the fish. But Marcus,
the grayfish are a very wonderful thing. They used to
tag them many many years ago and Amaru and some
of these fish would end up in Hoteo with the

(01:17:54):
tags on. And you can go back through the records
and find out how far that crayfish walk from one
part of the country to the other. And it's quite amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
They move a long way, aren't they.

Speaker 10 (01:18:08):
Oh yeah, oh, yeah, they they moved. I was there
when the big capt happened also Targo, and of course yeah,
that was fishermen with the nets. They were bringing them
in left right and seeing that like they were on
the march. But I'm pleased that I know that this
area where I dumped them, they will be campable there.

(01:18:33):
And I've never told anybody markers. Do you think I should?

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
No, I think you should, John, But nice to talk.
You keep it to yourself, Tony ands Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 10 (01:18:44):
Oh hi, Marcus, having a good night, Marcus on year
you're mentioning by him the other night. Sure I actually
met them about so I could be fifty years ago
now and about seventy seven or seventy eight, I was
working at a bar on the Isle of Man, the

(01:19:05):
Casino bar, and they used to have different acts coming
every couple of weeks, and Bony Him came there one
one night, and then the three ladies walked through into
the bar and then then the guy. The guy was
a bit strange. He walked them with two bodyguards and
kept away. But the ladies who were really friendly in that.

(01:19:27):
And I remember I said, I watch they had three
or four hits in rama. I said, I'll watch your
next HiT's going to be And they said, oh god,
we were in a clue shift the lock of the drawer. Yeah,
so that was the answer to that. And anyway, but
the funny thing was there was this other guy with
them and he came up and you know, he was

(01:19:48):
a roadie or something, and he came up in order
to drink, and then he started singing and he had
this amazing voice. And I'm, oh, my god, that guy's
a roady singing like that and he's not even in
the band. But yeah, anyway, it turns there. Twenty years
later they said that you have the guy that was

(01:20:08):
walking around with two bodyguards, not talking to anyone who
was supposed to be in the band actually any.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Of the record, right, it was maybe that guy that
it was believingly twenty years earlier by the same producer.

Speaker 10 (01:20:23):
Exactly. Yeah, so that so I'm thinking maybe that guy
that sung them was singing at the round bow, which
is put of a funny thing to do an amazing voice.
Maybe he was this singer instead.

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
I think, I think you're on perfectly. I think that's
what's happened. Yeah, I saw another guy hang on. I
saw bony Um at the South End Stadium and in
the cargo about two thousand and four or two thousand
and five, and it was it wasn't a very well
attended concert because I don't even know which part of

(01:20:57):
Bonium it was, because they've you know, all sorts of
some people get the name and some people don't get
the name, and the crowd wasn't very well attended. And
they got everyone up on stage. We all sang along.
That's how few people there. It was fantastic.

Speaker 10 (01:21:11):
Yeah, well they had a lot of hats that great band.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
And what we're going to tell me the other game
at the.

Speaker 7 (01:21:17):
Bar was.

Speaker 10 (01:21:19):
A guy called Ian Gillan. So who would he just
asking you, Marcus, who would Ian Gillan be the lead singer.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
Of Is it Iron Maiden?

Speaker 10 (01:21:31):
Not quite?

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
Is a pilot? Is he the guy that's the pilot?
Was it deep purple? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:21:36):
Okay, yeah yeah, deep purple? So the only thing I
remember about them was the whole band drink double whiskey
and lemon with some good drink.

Speaker 3 (01:21:47):
Wouldn't it he had a five? He had a five
octive range Yan Gillen.

Speaker 10 (01:21:52):
Did he forty hell friend the friendlish guy. But that
was right at the peak of their power, about when
Smoke on the Water came out.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
Great song, still does it?

Speaker 10 (01:22:09):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
Still recognizable from the very beginning. Thanks for that. Tony
fifteen past ten Hitle twelve. How people someone's found the
TV because someone send me the t Christmas Day TV
this thing, someone said, what someone that gets the TV
guy by mail might know. It looks like they are

(01:22:33):
going to play the Princess Bride, which is timely considering
Rob Reiner has died today his movie Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty mo nameers. Marcus, welcome nine to
nine to de text. Do come through if you want
to talk on anything goes tonight We will have a
quiz sometime this week that will be the Christmas Quiz

(01:22:53):
based on questions. What's an example of one question? One
very good question, Dan, what are the name of the
what are the names of the three buns? And a
big mac? Don't tell me now? Say it? Not one
that you hopefully will google. There are things that, if
you've listened carefully, will have come up on the show

(01:23:14):
I show with that punch. Do you want to hear
some of my more some more of my thoughts on Christmas.
I've got a lot of them. None of them have
every cheer, tell them every cherry. I just do feel
it's the wrong season. So much tet in the supermarkets anyway,
so much packaging. But if you want to be a

(01:23:38):
part of the discussion, I've got no great thoughts for Christmas.
I've seen a lot of articles and newspapers saying lamb
is that it should be the rational Christmas dish. A
lot of articles like we're trying a lamb this summer
of good luck with that. I don't know what we'll
be trying. It'll be something surprising. I would think, Oh

(01:23:59):
I found the thing. I might try making this right?
Did I did? Google A. I did just look at
a recipe that I took a screenshot of. Actually, I
thought I going to try it. Make this day. I'm
forever taking screenshots and then clicking on the can't find
or can't find where they are. This is what I'm
making just going through all my screenshots. De did he?

(01:24:22):
I take screenshots cause think they'll be good things to
talk about that can never find them again. But I've
got a recipe that looked delicious, looking, looking, looking, now
I can't find the damn thing. No, that's the school
prize giving it was after there. I hope I can
find it looking looking looking. Half the things have screenshots

(01:24:45):
have said. Oh yes, a cher from the New York
Chimes a cheery carpetka recipe. Yep, you heard it here first,
cheery carpetka from the New York Times. And I'll tell
you what it is. It's absolutely delicious. Now i'd probably
not be able to find it. Carputka k A r
P A. Well, I'm not sure the kids will say

(01:25:09):
yuck the good eaters, But I don't like anything it's
that new now, Oh yes, cherry Carputka. I'll just tell
you a little bit about it because I'm fascinated by it. Carpetka,
also known as Polish mountain cake, gets its name from
the Carpathian Mountains, a one hundred and fifty fifteen hundred

(01:25:31):
clometer range that stretches from the Czech Republic to Romania. Buishary, dramatic,
the dessert is a staple and Polish bakeries. It's layers
of eerie shoe pastry giving way to a creamy custard filling.
Here the custard is finished with creamacy of the usual butter,
and the unditional edition of a juicy cherry compot delivers
a bright hit of fruit flavors amidst the riches riches,

(01:25:53):
making this a total show stopper. No, I can't find
the recipe. I've got to subscribe anyway. That's me five stars.
Prep time fifty minutes, cooked time one hour, four five
minutes plus two hours of chilling. Anyway, I hope I
can find the proper recipe of having trouble with my
payment for that account anyway, that's me, look kept me delicious.

(01:26:20):
So that's the plan. I'll get some cherries long of
that ago, Marcus, can we hear your Christmas thoughts you
would make a good grinch. I'm never quite sure who
asked the grinch along? When did that become a part
of Christmas?

Speaker 6 (01:26:30):
Is?

Speaker 3 (01:26:30):
That's a Doctor Seuss thing that seems quite everywhere these days.
Now get through if you want to talk on it,
I'll let me just have a look at the z
breaking news happening for you tonight. People. Thousands of bouquets
of flowers and candles have been placed at BONDI seems
to be a very big event there, heaps if people

(01:26:52):
have flocked there, which I guess is a show of
faith and solidarity, and much coverage of that. Let me
think there's anything else I can tell you about that's
from the news. There hasn't been no nothing much more
than I can tell you about about that at the stage?

(01:27:13):
Oh did you find that? Do you subscribe to that?

Speaker 7 (01:27:15):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:27:17):
Do we does the work of a subscription? I thought
it had subscribed to that does work of a subscription?

Speaker 10 (01:27:22):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
No, I think I am subscribed, but I just couldn't
bring it up on my little wallyphone. Well that's me
the I might get back on Facebook for that one.

Look good, there we see.

Speaker 3 (01:29:56):
What a treat Susie. Thank you so very much for
they want a complete call. You came through information and
a little performance at the end. Marvelous Susie. Thank you,
thank you so much for that brilliant twenty six away
from ten past ten. There we go. She set the standard,
set the standard high.

Speaker 7 (01:30:13):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
Mistletoe and wine? What is mistletoe and wine? One of
the great combinations I would have mentioned. You don't hear
so much about mistletoe anymore?

Speaker 5 (01:30:22):
Do you?

Speaker 3 (01:30:23):
The curse of the work party? Any casualties of our
work party?

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
Any water caller talk today about that? Don't know if
but any of the hosts go a Roman went, well,
of course you would go for you the night, just
to feel a part of something. If you're stuck there
in the middle of the night, you think I'll get
out there, get some daylight. Good on your Roman. Yeah,
I don't know. Yeah, good. That was down the viaduct.
I think they have that one every year. You were

(01:30:50):
the music brands as well, though they'd drink the tab,
well they probably wouldn't. Actually, there'd be a bar tab
for so much then that would run out. You have
to buy your own, I think. Guess that's how it works.
I spoke to the boss today, the well, the second
the third Tear boss. I don't know if he was
there or not. Actually, I don't quite know how the
tears working radio these days anyway, you don't need to

(01:31:15):
know behind the scenes sort of stuff. That's that doesn't
serve anyone. Well, oh, that's right, I was going to
tell you about breaking news if that happened too. So
the doghouse, what'll that be, Dan? Is that something you
know about? It didn't sound very good. That sounds like
some sort of there will we advertisements in that as

(01:31:35):
well too. Over Christmas, the IY dog box. Got no
idea what that is, but I think it's a good thing.
But in the afternoon, if it turns bad for you
of the family, I've ever falling out, which can happen?
You've got the Princess Bride? Then E t both movies
I've never seen, always meant to have. But yeh, after

(01:32:00):
a while you've haven't seen a movie. It seems too
late because you've sort of I watched ET now, not
gonna tell on the mikes. So it's a great you
want to have heard of it? Et Oh, Marcus, I
starts watched that sort of four hundred years ago, So no,
I haven't seen that. I'm not likely to watch it now. However,
if you want to talk on air tonight. I wasn't

(01:32:23):
sure what Susie was going to do, but I suspected
a song. Who there? She said? I got the light
on the kitchen. Why would you need a torch? Where
was she? Do you think? Was she outside outside having
a smoke? Do you think? Or in the bed? I
couldn't work it out. You wouldn't be singing in the
beard with a torch? Would you starting to work out

(01:32:45):
what's going on? Sometimes? Isn't it anyway, be a part
of it if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten.

Speaker 20 (01:32:55):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
By the way, the woman who slept in on the
Breakfast show is in dearest Stewart.

Speaker 7 (01:32:59):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:32:59):
She's a quality broadcaster. On the first day after Jenny
May left, so that's why they all gave her a
hard time. I was just probably nervous all night and
then finally got to sleep and the alarm didn't work,
So that's understandable. Plenty people have slept through alarms doing
morning shifts. It's forgivable too, Thanks Nena. Twenty nine away

(01:33:20):
from eleven. It's not near Jan's farm now. Someone's texted
me Marcus star Trek in the cast in recent Times
character name, then ranked the real name, and then birth
date and death date with age. Captain Kirk William Shatner
still living at ninety four. First Officer Mister spot Lend
Nimoy died age ninety three. Leonard McCoy, medical officer to

(01:33:41):
Forrest Kelly Age died at seventy nine. Montgomery Scott James
Dowin died age eighty five. No toa Uhua dead at
eighty three. In parvil Tchekhov still living at ninety one
and Haikara Sulu still living at eighty eight. So yes,
great longevity for the actors in I don't know if

(01:34:04):
that's what that's what's supposed to mean, Your Dean, it's
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:34:09):
Oh hey, Marcus, how are you? Thank you so much
for a wonderful year of great talk back and amazing characters.

Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
Oh my pleasure, didn't thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
Someone was talking about crayfish the other day, sorry, an
hour or so ago, and I went out to the
Chathams a few years ago and met a guy who
claimed to start the commercial crayfish business back in the sixties.

Speaker 10 (01:34:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
I think there was a bit of a gold rush.
There was heaps of boats when were sort of all
on was is it the story?

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
Well, the story was that, you know, they were kind
of considered to be water bugs back in the day,
but then they found a trap, and then they found
a market. I guess. I mean it's a little bit
like how oysters used to be, you know, just fish
podder or fish bait or whatever. Yeah. I think that

(01:35:12):
the rise of all of this stuff comes from rationing
during the during the depression, and that's when they first
started calorie counting, right, So you used to have an
idea where if you were a steel worker or a
meat worker or something like that, you got all the calories. Sure,

(01:35:32):
and then if you weren't, and then if you weren't,
you know, if you were a banker, say on Wall
Street or something like that, then you got a smaller
calorie ration. Okay, which is how, which is how? You
know these kind of oysters, water bugs, that kind of

(01:35:52):
thing became a delicacy.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
Ah okay. And what would they do were they were
they catching the crayfish and processing them on the jetums
and then shipping them to the to the main men.
Is that what they were doing?

Speaker 2 (01:36:07):
I suppose, Yeah, I think so. I mean they went
chipping them to Wall Street.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
Sorry, no, no, I realized that, Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't
have been This is the sixties. So I'm just trying
to work out how they would have got them, got
them around, because I guess the only way you get
them what is the exploring them live.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
It may have been local or then just to the mainland,
you know, you know in the Chathams they're called you know,
they call New Zealand New Zealand. And they considered themselves
slightly different.

Speaker 10 (01:36:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
I like that. I like how they do that. Hey
tell me you haven't met Dick Van Dyke in your travels?
Have you been?

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
I actually was supposed to go to a screening at
the Academy last week and I missed it because I
got deboned and an intersection on Santa Monica.

Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
Boulevard screening screening of what.

Speaker 2 (01:36:56):
There's a new documentary that's out called about Deck Van Dyke.
They just they dropped it last weekend. Yeah, I kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
I mean, I don't know if the document would be
particularly interesting. I mean, I don't know too much about him.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
I think it's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:37:14):
He used to Stop Drop and Roll? Did did he do
earthquake ads?

Speaker 2 (01:37:20):
Deck Vandyke?

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
Yeah? I'm sure he did Stop Drop and Roll or
something in New Zealand? Is that right. I'm sure that
was a thing.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
I would be surprised, really they would have got deep
Van dikeouts in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:37:33):
To do things. I'm sure they did.

Speaker 7 (01:37:37):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:37:38):
I feel like Stop Drop and Roll was like one
of the great PACIFICA bands that they didn't add campaign
around that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:45):
No, I'm sure. Okay, well, well yeah, okay, I'll do
some research them. But thank you and nice to hear
from you. Twenty five to eleven Barry Marcus welcome.

Speaker 21 (01:37:55):
Hey Marcus, first of all to say I'm a bit
older and and remember when you're on TV and all that,
so to me, you're still sort of famous in a way.

Speaker 3 (01:38:04):
Great, that's exciting.

Speaker 21 (01:38:05):
Yeah yeah, yea, yes, yeah maybe on TV in orbits
the piece. It's pretty cool. Anywho's so, just coming from
left field a little bit, I just want to spring
up and say about community centers. I just believe community
centers are awesome across the country. And if anyone doesn't
know about community centers, yeah, definitely go and check them
out and what they do and when they get up
to But yeah, that's pretty much it. And yeah, it

(01:38:27):
was awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
To talk to here. Brilliant stuff. Berry, Thanks very much for that.
By the way, I think I think Dick Van Dyke
did fire safety heads in the seventies. Stay low and
go and get out, Stay Out, call Out, part of
the Learn Not to Burn series became ingreen ingrained in
Kiwi culture, making a Van Dyke a familiar face for

(01:38:50):
fire prevention education in New Zealand. And the other interesting
story that I have that I will tell you actually
when I first went to Queen Mary Hospital many years ago,
that a lot of people there said Dick van Dyke
had been through there as archolic detox. I don't think
that was reality. I think probably they had been confused

(01:39:11):
and that well, yeah, and watch videos that they had done.
I was never quite sure how to resolve that, but
I think that was probably people that were quightly, quite
slightly scrambled, putting things together wrongly. I can't imagine ever
went to Green Mary, but you never know. I don't
think that knows that ever been to New Zealand anyho
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine, two

(01:39:33):
twenty three away from eleven, I still feels like about
seven o'clock looking forward to your calls. Twenty one away
from eleven. Good evening, Rayt's Marcus, Welcome, Yo, Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:39:45):
Always good to listen to your show mate. But I
just wanted to chime in on the sick Van Dyke subject.
And I remember you saying earlier just previously about the
was it the drop low and goes that the fire
saf the campaign he did, but was he also count howmuchinos?

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
I think heangnized? Was his inter actor. Wasn't it not
Dick Van Dyke? Was it?

Speaker 22 (01:40:14):
I thought it was. Then I've got a funny feeling
on sick van Dike.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Okay, I'll look into that well, because.

Speaker 22 (01:40:22):
He was the man back in the early eighties for me.

Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
Yeah, okay, I'll look into that. Ray thank you. I
think the situation with him supposed he had been at
Hamner Springs, Detos. Well he did. He got so rid
in a movie called The Morning After. I think they
probably screened that there and people coming out of black
app probably got the too confused and thought he was
actually there, rather than it was a film I've never seen.
The Morning After. Public relation, guys is the Battle with

(01:40:46):
the Bottle. I forget the story about it. It's not
one I've normally watched most of those movies anyway, YadA, YadA.
He's got a role in that one. Never seen it
even it's Marcus Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 7 (01:41:02):
Hey, good evening, much che al and crayfish.

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
Back in the day.

Speaker 7 (01:41:08):
A couple of the old the old mates told me though,
just helicopter and the tails off.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
Oh okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 7 (01:41:17):
Yeah, during the boom.

Speaker 3 (01:41:18):
And helicopter bring them to like Christ stuts or something
and then processing them there.

Speaker 7 (01:41:25):
Then then then neporting them I guess from there.

Speaker 3 (01:41:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think I think there was a real
I think a lot of boats like from Bluff, from
places to win across. I think there was a real
there was a real bonanza happened over there in the
late sixties. I think there was a lot of money
to be made.

Speaker 7 (01:41:42):
Yeah, I think there was about ten other boats like that.
I told you about that boat that I did up. Yeah,
I think there was ten ten ten or so sister
ships sitting on the beach over there, rotten.

Speaker 3 (01:41:52):
Oh yeah, well they left they left them there.

Speaker 7 (01:41:55):
Yeah, yeah, too worn out.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
Have you ever fish for crayfish?

Speaker 7 (01:42:00):
Yeah? I did a little bit of barrier for six
months or so. Well, you're just on another boat, another boat.

Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
You just put the pots down and leave them twitter.
It's like the dearliest catches it. But it's crayfish, not crabs.

Speaker 7 (01:42:11):
Is it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:42:12):
Pretty much just overnight, leave them and go the next
day and change your bait.

Speaker 3 (01:42:17):
And what do you bait them with?

Speaker 7 (01:42:19):
Oh, preferably fresh bait, but just burned frames and stuff
like that that you can get cheat and.

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Then you put them straight on ice, Do you no, cissy,
keep alive to them all crawling around in your boat,
have you no?

Speaker 7 (01:42:34):
No? Just sitting down in the hole wet sex, pup
a bit of water over them now and then. And
if you're left, you know, if you're staying out for
three or four seven days, you just put them into
a holding pot.

Speaker 3 (01:42:47):
Sure, okay, oh yeah, see they put them put them
back down to the water in a pot. I think
most of it happens. I think most of it happens
now revolves around Chinese New Year and the price over there,
so they can kind of you kind of keep them
and then just get them when the you know, you
follow the international markets. I guess they get them out
when the when the price is right. There's a bit
of that going on. I think.

Speaker 7 (01:43:06):
Yeah, a lot of it's still sitting in live tanks
you see markets and stuff like that. They keep them
alive for a while. These days.

Speaker 3 (01:43:16):
It's kind of an interesting kind of delicacy crayfish, because
a lot of it it gets a bit saving and
the taste doesn't it If you find that, I mean,
it's fine, but you wouldn't want to eat it all the time.
And that sounds like a weird thing to say, but.

Speaker 7 (01:43:26):
It's yeah, I think you've got to eat them fresh.
At you tanks for too long, they sort of lose
their lose their spice about them.

Speaker 3 (01:43:36):
And I saw that chef from Willington and his name
will come to me, but he was talking about cooking
them by you just chuck them and boiling water that's
finished boiling and then just leave them so and actually
chuck them in boiling water, but you actually just put
them in boiling water once it's off the element and
just leave them there until the water's cool and that
cooks them. Martin Bosley is talking about that.

Speaker 7 (01:43:56):
Oh, well, the best parts of gravy. Ah you know that. Yeah,
I'm fully aware of that, and it does make makes
the whole crayfish. I reckon going.

Speaker 3 (01:44:08):
Now for those that don't know you live on a boat.
Where are you going Christmas on your boat?

Speaker 8 (01:44:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:44:12):
Not not much heating around here.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
To be on your boat for Christmas?

Speaker 7 (01:44:17):
Ah, I don't know. Might wander along to the church.

Speaker 3 (01:44:21):
Good on you, they'll be looking for you. Covers Christmas day, Evan,
will you do that one? Well? Sixteen away from eleven
eight eighty nine ticks. Keep those texts coming in watching
the cricket on TV, the Big Best. They talk about
the big Best, but there's no one there. It's like

(01:44:42):
the Indian one, is it? Marcus? One of your callers
late on Friday night gave a tip on a horse.
I put money on it and made over forty dollars.
What a good bloke. Do we know who his name was?

Speaker 23 (01:44:55):
Dan?

Speaker 3 (01:44:55):
Because people quite a lot of quite a lot of
people back that horse. No, it was on Frey. Can't remember.
We did come through and said that, no, can't. That
doesn't matter. You're right, Marcus. But the narrator actually said, roll, Dick, Roll,
that was the year. That was what Dick Van Dykers.
Fire Safety add the Doghouses where families looking to rehome

(01:45:16):
a rescue dog get one picked out for them and
meet it in a special doghouse to see if they
like each other. It's a lovely program. Sounds terrible godness, Oh, Marcus,
not sure if you've seen that Rachel Carpanne has passed away.
McLeod's daughter original was she one of the daughters. I've

(01:45:42):
never really known much about McLeod's daughters, which I sound
like a mischievous thing to say, but I'll where McLeod's daughter. Sir,
I've never watched a moment of it anyway, I don't know.
I don't know kind of what the premise was or
which daughters were which I'm just looking than through that,

(01:46:03):
but this is quite a quite a big story in
Australia today. Rachel Caparani as Jody Margaret Fountain, the youngest
child of Jack McLeod. Oh, so she's one of the daughters.
I guess it's about a number of daughters. We got
that right, I hope. So anyway, back after the break
fourteen to eleven.

Speaker 13 (01:46:22):
Hello, John, welcome, It'screasing Marcus John from a wan.

But thank you.

Speaker 15 (01:46:32):
We have no water, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:46:37):
Have you got anything to tell us?

Speaker 13 (01:46:39):
No, just parts and there's no cold water running anywhere
up the area.

Speaker 3 (01:46:45):
Okay. But have you got a text from them or anything?

Speaker 10 (01:46:48):
No, nothing at all yet.

Speaker 3 (01:46:50):
So you're further up the river, aren't you. You're up
the river from the main part of town, is that right?

Speaker 8 (01:46:57):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:46:58):
Yes, okay, but you've got electricity. Have you've been on
Facebook or are there any announcements on their website?

Speaker 6 (01:47:09):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:47:09):
I haven't had a look at all yet.

Speaker 3 (01:47:11):
Okay, John, I'll see what I can find out.

Speaker 7 (01:47:13):
Ah, okay, very good.

Speaker 3 (01:47:16):
And congratulations to Jest to Casper. It was Casper that
gave the legend bet. Amazing how many people follow someone

Speaker 9 (01:47:54):
Oh great area.

Speaker 11 (01:47:56):
It's huge.

Speaker 19 (01:47:57):
And the interesting thing about it is the families come
along and there's all different reasons why they need them,
Why they need a dog, I'm sorry, why they need
to dog? And honestly, some people do expose quite a lot,
you know, about their anxiety or whatever. And the staff
who will be dressed in the most amazing Christmas gear

(01:48:19):
try to match and usually manage to match. Oh great dog,
and mostly they're the one they take home and stays
with them.

Speaker 3 (01:48:27):
So you'll be looking forward to that.

Speaker 19 (01:48:29):
Probably looking forward to it.

I want to green crayfish, which was still alive, and
I lived to know who at the time, I said,
how the hell am I going to get this crayfish home?
So I asked the barman, could.

Speaker 5 (01:49:15):
And so put the put this crayfish in the curtain,
and away I go home. I'm on a little eleven
hundred stretch scratch scratch fish get all the way home.
And I lived up three stories fatal, three stories high.
So I took it upstairs. Now how am I going
to kill it? So I ran a bath, and I
threw the cat and and all in the bath crayfish carton,

(01:49:39):
and I held the cart and down with a broom,
and I cried and screeched and cried and squawed, but
eventually we read.

Speaker 3 (01:49:50):
What sorry plus represented myself. When you said did I
know that techn any straight? I thought you were talking
about a road. Are you talking about a bar.

Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
The Thurbrid Hotel, which is on the Technoy Hotel hotel? Yeah,
a windless crape visual. Yes, it's only just Johnny Farmer
has been pulled down.

Speaker 3 (01:50:12):
Yeah, I see that's coming. A KF Steen, McDonald's and stuff.
Not good.

Speaker 5 (01:50:16):
You know, all the hotels will learn, all the clubs,
there's hardly anything on there.

Speaker 11 (01:50:20):
Horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:50:21):
One of the great parts. I mean, we did a
night on the Giant. People loved that. Sports clubs and
all sorts of things exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:50:28):
I belonged to the many were Cozey Club near which
is really really running hot. Yeah. Every night there's different games,
you know, snook and darts and Paul Friday Saturday Sunday entertainment. No,
it's really really good.

Speaker 3 (01:50:44):
Young UN's are all just oldies.

Speaker 5 (01:50:47):
Olds like me, middle aged.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
Well, they courtesy coach your home, can have some bees
and they'll drive you home. You can walk well.

Speaker 5 (01:51:00):
People tell me to walk down and walk home, and
I said, well, I might get raped on the way
home in the sky's been walked slower.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
You've got more chance creepers fade. You said it, not me.
I can't do that. You've got me speeches for too long.
But anyway, that was Fay said that. There's no comment
from me. Wow, who feel free to come through if
you want to talk. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

(01:51:29):
Have you all your listeners ever used organic coconut flour
to bake with? Is it better than wheat flour? Or
is it a gimmick for vegans? I'd say a vegan gimmick.
This is coconut flour. As Marcus tries to recompose himself
for the show, Oh eight one hundred and eighty ten
eighty and nine to nine two detext if you want

(01:51:51):
to come through after the news or before the news
or during the news all God, I've never heard of
organic coconut flower. I don't know there was such a
vagan thing as that. But we'll talk about Dick Van
Dyke and his safety videos for the fire after the
news and his movie. We never heard of that movie.

(01:52:13):
That might be something I've to talk about. And the
water no water in the suburb of Whanganui and Kelly says,
can you please ask if anyone can tell me what
was the best mayonnaise to use when making old fashioned
stuffed eggs. I've tried several and they were too salty
or just not the ones Nenn used to make. So
mayonnaise for old fashioned stuffed eggs. So I think Casper's

(01:52:36):
a legend of our show for getting that agetting that
giving us the tip for the race Race six at
the end of the cargo meat which came in for
the wind. So well done them. Now someone another mayo
for eggs? Also to that another question, and keep your
texts and emails coming through. I wait her at eighty

(01:52:59):
ten eighty. That's what Kelly wants. Dave Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:53:09):
Yeah, how are you good?

Speaker 14 (01:53:11):
Dave here?

Speaker 20 (01:53:12):
Yeah, we've got a bit of a northwestern outside. I
just walked the perimeter and she's warm. Is here on
the east coast. I think there's a bit of a
front going up the west. There a bit of rain,
i'd say, but anyhow, it's warm as too out there.
It's mild as probably at sixteen degrees. Heind. Salad cream
is the answer to the mayonnaise. The best you can get, heind.

(01:53:33):
Salad cream. Now I've got a question, A question. I
know you love my questions composed of sixty percent fat.
Which is the fattiest organ in the human body, the heart,
deliver skin, or the brain?

Speaker 10 (01:53:49):
Rain?

Speaker 3 (01:53:50):
Yeah, you correct, I thought it would be it feels
it feels fatty.

Speaker 20 (01:53:55):
Does it have you?

Speaker 6 (01:53:56):
Have you health?

Speaker 7 (01:53:56):
Your brain?

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
But you.

Speaker 3 (01:54:01):
Sound like you sound like you're from Hogan heroes say
you've walked the perimeter like you're like Girdel.

Speaker 13 (01:54:06):
Click, Sergeant, I love hold on, I used to love.

Speaker 7 (01:54:14):

let you go? But thank you? Yes, sergeant. Did he
really come out for telethon? Sergeant? I don't know who
the actor. I think the actor was actually Jewiship played

ironies of the world. Let me just look at that
who the who the person was played him? John Banner. Yeah,

(01:54:53):
I didn't know if he came up for telethon, but
someone will remember that died young sixty three. Had a
long acting career both movies and TV. A lot of stuff.
If you want to be a part of the show.
Welcome him here at twelve o'clock tonight, eight hundred and

(01:55:14):

Speaker 7 (01:55:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:55:19):
Born to Jewish parents, studied law. Everybody in the United
States in nineteen forty. On nineteen thirty eight, actually ninety eight,
when he was performing with an acting tribute was an
Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler annexed Austria, Nazi Germany, been immigrated

(01:55:41):
to the United States. We rapidly learned English. One of
the great character roles of all time. That one ten
pasted eleven. If you've got anything you want to talk
about tonight, we are loose like a goose. A lot
of texts about the eggs too. Old fashioned condensed milk
recipe is the best for stuffed eggs, the best mixture

(01:56:02):
for devil the eggs DNAs with a pinch of curry powder.
I made these. One need to take a plate of
food to a party. Old school condensed book mayonnaise for
savory eggs. Old fashioned seated ad dressing made with condensed
book makes the best of eggs. Mandy, But that's the answer.
Care you need the one with the condensed milk. No

(01:56:25):
one's used your organic coconut flower. It seems not too
surprised about that. I wouldn't use that. A lot of fuss.
That sound isn't flower itself vegan. While you go looking
for coconut flour, just use normal flour. That's forgair, normal flour,
isn't it? Oh, we're away twelve past eleven. If you

(01:56:48):
want to be a part of it, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

Speaker 3 (01:59:02):
How would you cook those? How would you cook those idrists?

Speaker 8 (01:59:07):
Boiled or not? And cut the ms off and boil
on that or you can freeze them for right or on?

Speaker 20 (01:59:17):

on Christmas Day rather than that dog show? Wouldn't you?

Speaker 8 (02:00:16):
On? The Dog Show? Very very popular at the moment,
is it? Yeah? Yeah, your children wouldn't like it.

Speaker 3 (02:00:25):
I don't think they want enough for you. Well, I
don't know if they would. Sounds a bit. Sounds a
bit like that other show that that doesn't be hidden
a bit. What's that one where people bring their old
tatt and they fix it up for them. I don't know,
repair shop, you know that one. Yes, it's all a
bit sentimental for me.

Speaker 8 (02:00:46):
It can be, yeah, a.

Speaker 3 (02:00:47):
Bit sort of mawkish, but that's just me. I don't know.

It was set in Europe and it was just I
think during the Second World War, and it was a
film that if you didn't see the very first couple
of minutes of it, it was not much use watch

(02:01:45):
sing your time in watching the rest of the movie
because the two minutes that the front explained everything that
happened in the film.

So what was it? Tell me what it was called?

Thanks, Casper Wesley. It's Marcus.

Speaker 23 (02:05:19):
Hello, Hi Marcus. I've just received notifications of four point
six earthquake near Telpo, but data seems to be conflicting
at the moment as to exactly where it is.

Speaker 3 (02:05:32):
I'll just check the drums because I've just got a three.
I've just got a three there at the moment, I
can't see anything else.

Speaker 23 (02:05:37):
But yeah, that's why I'm saying data is conflicting because
it's bouncing around.

Speaker 3 (02:05:44):
What's your source? International?

Speaker 10 (02:05:45):
Is it.

Speaker 23 (02:05:48):
A combination of international and local?

Speaker 3 (02:05:53):
What time was here through now?

Speaker 6 (02:05:55):
On it?

Speaker 3 (02:05:55):
That's two weeks ago? How long ago? Was it was
this eleven thirty two?

Speaker 23 (02:06:00):
Like in the last five minutes? But Gionnette reporting it
as three three point at the moment, sure, but originally,
but it came through initially as four point six.

Speaker 3 (02:06:15):
It's been quite widely felt. Yeah, it's been felt that
would indicate it was more than a three. You'd think
looking at the spread, but that's.

Speaker 23 (02:06:25):
What Yeah, well the data sources I got had it
at four point six.

Speaker 3 (02:06:31):
Okay, I'll keep looking at that, wuzy, but think anyone
felt that let us know twenty four to twelve. Good evening, Michael,

was fully completed, and the.

Speaker 3 (02:06:52):
Last thing with that would have been the line from
christ Jewhich to picked. And I would believe because I
think there was a lot. The hardest one to do
because of the clay was dodgy up there. The one
quite difficult.

Speaker 10 (02:07:08):
Yeah, something like that. And just a bit of statistics.
It was like five kilometers of tunneling, three kilometers of
bridges and a costed four point six million pounds in
today's money. Is five hundred.

Speaker 3 (02:07:21):
Million still be a bargain today's money, wouldn't it?

Speaker 10 (02:07:26):
Yeah? Yeah, And they wanted to be picked in the
tourist capital of the you know, the world of New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (02:07:34):
Big your pattern.

Speaker 10 (02:07:35):
They wanted to make the risk capital of New Zealand many.
I'm I'm any games by what I've read. I haven't
made it up any way. Yeah, we watched many YouTube
real time videos of cab rights. No, there's quite a

(02:07:57):
few tunnels, like north of Dunedin and south of Dunedin,
so some of those would have been really long tunnels.

Speaker 3 (02:08:04):
Yeah, I am who does the videos? Do the drivers
do the videos or they got cameras on them?

Speaker 10 (02:08:11):
I'm not sure, but I quite like watching the real
time videos around. You know, the cab views of New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (02:08:18):
I don't know much about those. So it's actually a
camera mounted inside the cab of the trains, the locomotive.

Speaker 10 (02:08:23):
I think it must be like these tunnels north of Dunedain,
there's just no room if you wanted to like walk through.

Speaker 3 (02:08:30):
Yeah, that's yeah. I've been to that tunnel in a
cab north of Yeah, it's quite a. That's the one
north of Port Charmers. It's quite a. It's quite an unlined,
handbuilt kind of vibe to it. You you're right, it's
quite tight.

Speaker 10 (02:08:45):
Yeah, And a lot of the cut out by rock,
even the one that's the Littleton Tunnel, it's all cut
out by rock. You can see the rock.

Speaker 3 (02:08:52):
Yeah, so you mean it's not lined, it's just rough.

Speaker 10 (02:08:56):
A lot of it's rough. Yeah, and they're just a
little bit lined.

Speaker 3 (02:08:58):
Yeah, you know, I agree. For how did you get
that information about the Bluff Railway we were researching that
or do you remember it?

Speaker 10 (02:09:05):
It just came up randomly on my like on like
on like on Facebook because I'm I'm you know, the
Kimi rail I do comments and like upload videos.

Speaker 3 (02:09:16):
Unfortunately, the Bluff Railway track is not in good condition,
and it's got a speed restriction I think of twenty
k's or twenty five k's. And the crazy thing is
because the Bluff Road gets absolutely hammered because so many
trucks go down it and there's also a milk station
on the Bluff Road and it's just in a perpetual

(02:09:38):
state of repair. Oh wow, So it's crazy. They should
they should fix the train line and put everything by
rail because boy, because it's a the road is a
road on swamp and it just the heavy trucks just
absolutely hammer it. We've had we've had roadworks there probably
i'd say, without exaggeration, six months of this year. And

(02:10:00):
then you go along and there's good trains, but they
just go so slowly.

Speaker 10 (02:10:04):
Could you have a little old walk on commuter rail
between Blossom Blossom and the Carnal, Well.

Speaker 3 (02:10:09):
You could, but not at twenty five kilometers could take
you two hours.

Speaker 10 (02:10:13):
Yeah, a bit long a.

Speaker 3 (02:10:15):
I mean, there used to be very effective pest your
trains and school trains. But they brought down the they
brought down the railcar was it the Silver Fir and
the railcar down to run tourist trips for it. But
it took forever and once she got once you got
to in Vacabo, you couldn't get on the station because
that was all sugar. It wasn't a very good event

(02:10:36):
at all. But I just wish they'd do the lineup. Yeah, anyway,
that's got me through, Michael. Thank you.
