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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Greetings, Welcome in good evening. My name is Marcus how
I am welcome to my show. That's a different start.
I'm here on midnight anyway, so I hope it's good
with your If it's not good, I hope it gets
better in the next four hours, three hours fifty three. Wow,
how are you? What's happening? Feels close now, dous at
the end of the year, something I can tell you. Also,
one of my predictions, and I've got some changes for

(00:35):
the Predictions show. One of my predictions was right that
I'm just trying to take a front of the sky
thing to show that the rain fade that we've got,
which I think is because of the satellite, So hold
your horse. I'm trying to do three things at once anyway. Now,
one of my predictions was that Dick Van Dyke would

(01:02):
not die this year, which I'm I'm excited to tell
you with less than three weeks left in the year.
He has actually just filmed a music video with Coldplay,
and I've never really liked Coldplay. However, the video with

(01:24):
Chris Martin, I think that's what they call the guy
from Coldplay, with Chris Martin and Dick Van Dyke singing
and dancing for every moving So not only have I
changed my tune about Chris Martin, I've actually changed my
tune about Dick Vandyke, who I've never really liked as

(01:44):
an actor. And I think one of the problems for
me is the first film I've ever seen. The first
film I ever saw was Chi Chiti Bang Bang, and
I wish I had a better first movie. I think
the rest of the family went to black Beard's Ghost,
and I wish I'd gone to that, but I was
young and probably still an piece. I wasn't allowed to

(02:07):
go to that. But anyway, So my first movie ever
was Digity Bang Bang. But anyway, So that's neither here
nor there. But I can tell you that Dick Van
Dyke seems to be very much alive, and we'll make
one hundred. He is ninety nine at the moment, so
there we go. I don't even know what more to
say about that, apart from the fact that one of

(02:29):
my predictions probably has come true, and that's that Dick
Van Dyke will live this year. Now, just while I'm
on that I had a few brain waves about next
year's Prediction show and what I have phone bocks, what

(02:50):
I think I will do for next year's Prediction show.
I've worked out how that's gonna work. I got quite
a few brain waves last night about that, about the
Prediction Show, and what I've decided to do is next year,
the first week of the show will be the Prediction Show,
and the way it will work, We'll be looking for

(03:12):
the best and most surprising prediction and you'll need to
phone them in on the first day. On the first day,
you get five, the second day get four, the third
day get three, and it goes downwards. If you want
to email and you just get one prediction. So there
will be an incentive for people to make their five
predictions on the first show, which will be late January

(03:33):
next year. So if you think of some predictions for
twenty twenty five, start thinking of them, because it's going
to be a big show anyway. And that's a situation
with me, is that one of my predictions was that
Dick Van Duke will remain alive, and he's doing that.
I don't know what was wrong with Chigity Bang Bang.

(03:53):
It seemed a little bit. It was a musical. I've
got no idea. By the way, if you are living
in christ Church, welcome, have those strong wins hit you yet? Anyway,
the good news about christ Church there is an avocado war.
Avocados and christ Judge at Veg's Direct on Modajo Road

(04:14):
eight cents and vigiland on Marshland Road nine cents. So
there we go. We're in a golden age of avocados,
so eight and nine cents each. Yep, I don't know
what it is. They seem to be vere. I think
avocados have good years and bad years. Every second year

(04:36):
is a good one and every second year is a
bad one. So sometimes you've got a ton of avocados.
So there you go eight and nine cents, which makes
you wonder why some of us are buying paying two
dollars for each one, and where that profit is going.
I mean, surely there can't be a two thousand percent

(04:57):
markup on an avocado. Well, there must be eight and
nine cents. In christ Church. There's the golden time of avocado.
So if you are living nearby, it might be worth
yourself wingding and your way down there or up there
to buy some be good in a sandwich with some
cold mutton ham. Anyway, get in touch. You're going to

(05:18):
talk about cheap advocato. It's crazy people crobably go there
and resell them on marketplace or on trade me or
not in a marketplace because no one ever pays. So
there we go. Where in the golden age of avocados?
This is christ Church the avocado Wars. The avocado War
was of late twenty twenty five, So there we go.

(05:40):
What are we going to talk about tonight? With avocado's
for a start? And Dick Van Dyke and what was
wrong with Chilly Chitty Bang Bang? And did you hate
the first movie you've ever saw? That was mine? I
would have loved it to have been something kind of monumental,
but it wasn't. It's kind of a creepy film. I
think I should go back and watch it again. It

(06:00):
has been fifty five years or something. Anyway, So here's
how the show works. You ring me and we talk
at the end of the year. So it's fairly kind
of loose, like a goose. Here's a question for you.
If you could ban one thing, what would you ban
I was reading today about a guy that wanted to
ban suitcases on wheels, and I thought i'd like that.

(06:22):
I always think people with suitcases on wheels always look
a bit self satisfied, and they always make a such
a song and dance of the overhead locker as they
telescope the handle down and put it in the cup
of the overhead cover with such a clear if that's
the right word, A clay, you're just a little bit

(06:43):
smoke for me. I would never ever have a suitcase
on wheels. I'm all keeping it well with a chemist
warehouse bag with Marubik's cuban and my traveling stuff. Anyway,
That's just me. But if you could ban one thing,

(07:03):
what would you ban? I don't know what my one
band thing is. I'll tell you what i'd do. You
have a particular problem with banana boxes. Come out of
pack and safe that there's all the only boxes for
people to pack in the banana boxes. But I don't
know about you, but they might be all right for
storing bananas in, but they are a useless box. Subsequently,

(07:23):
you haven't see people moving houses with a banana box.
I think, don't bother. There a massive great hole in
the bottom. Anyway, So if you could ban one thing.
If you were the dictator for a day, you could
ban one thing. What would you ban? By the way,
if that's not mine, that's just a contender for me,
banana boxes. I'll come up with something else. I've never

(07:43):
liked people that do inverted commas with their fingers. But
that doesn't work on air, does it. It doesn't work
on air? And I did them with my hands there,
so that might be something you want to mention anyway,
Get in touch eight hundred and eighty ten eighty So
already we've got Dick Van Dyke, avocados and dictator for
a day. The one thing you would ban a pretty

(08:06):
good space emotionally. If there's nothing that I'm sort of
fixating on that i'd like to ben that drives me crazy?
Why are you're welcome to me? Anyway? Get in touch
sixteen past eight, eight hundred and eighty tirty nine nine
to text eight cents for an avocado. For goodness sake,
keep those texts coming. I think it might be a

(08:28):
bit of a texting night tonight. Just feel people be
texting as they come home from the office party. I
just dropped into the bluff Are essay on the way
to work because Vanessa was at a Christmas d and
looked like she had secret centered cherries and strawberries. I thought, gee,
she's done well. I think she just took an two

(08:49):
dozen eggs, so I thought she'd actually up gone. First
movie was Way of the Dragon starring Bruce Lee, Fell
in Love with Cinema, Doug Lost Leader, Marcus Wat's the
Lost Lead, The Avocado, Marcus changingly banging as a musical.

(09:11):
That's why he didn't like it, and that it was
creepy funny Marcus. When I moved into my house, I
had fifty five Steinlager boxes twenty four pack ones full
of all my stuff and they worked well, way better
than banana box cheers. Andrew Marcus love your Shod Band,

(09:33):
Married at First Married at First Sight shows Alan, Yes,
I think they're an uncomfortable watch. I guess we'd always
choose not to watch them. But that's the point. It's
just more a chance for you to say what Marcus
d Band, Rubert Cubes pointless, Yes, Marcus Udband exaggerated eating
sound effects on spaghetti Westerns. Marcus Udband, Electric scooters, Wendy

(09:59):
good on you, Wendy, Marcus I'd band people who celebrate
them themselves on LinkedIn, Brother Dan, do you know what
that means? I think people talk. I've got no involvement
with LinkedIn, guys. I don't know what it's about. So yeah,

(10:19):
just such a creepy looking name LinkedIn. It looks like
it needs some more vowels in there. Marcus, you get
the apple peach packaging and put on the bottom of
the banana box at last. Forever banana boxes used to
be sawed off and hard to get, but now probably
because of fake news like yours, has canceled them. They
seem to be everywhere, but not fake news. I just
said they don't like them. I don't like a box

(10:40):
with no bottom, Marcus. The AVOs will be the size
of chicken eggs down here, not like the huge ones
way up north. Cheers John O. No one's saying much
good about the avocados, and christ Jurge in fact stuff.
Those journalistic titans. They've done an article on the avocado war,

(11:03):
and in the articles, you know what avocados they've shown
file photo I And surely if there's one shot you
want to actually send your photographer around to, it's the avocados.
Jeapest creepers, but no anyway, get in touch you and

(11:28):
to start the whole wall rolling tonight Oh eight hundred
eighty to ten eighty and nine two nine two to text.
Had a couple of people coming through with things they
want to band, but they're coming in a bit hot.
You know, we're not that show tonight anyway, Bare catch
your people. My name is Marcus, Welcome headed twelve. There
will be news when it happens. Also, keep you updated

(11:50):
with that. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two

you want to mention beautiful, we can do it. Oh
eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine to text.
So if there is something else to be hearing from
you tonight, people's now. I'm just making sure ups that

(12:19):
with all the other news that you need people on
this Monday. What was the verdict with that football match
and all? Because there weren't as many people as they
said that I tuned in for. But that looked, that
looked a lot of the seats were empty. There was
a bit of high ball. That was a bit I'm
sure they discussed that in the previous show, but just
putting that out there didn't seem as other many people

(12:40):
at all there anyway, or the atmosphere seem good but
certain semed to be a sellout. But you see, you
want to be in touched by name as Marcus welcome,
Oh eight hundred and eighty eighteen and nine to nine
text A lot of other stuff I can talk about,
just trying to remember what happened. The whole weekend seemed very,
very busy. I'm having a love hate relationship with the

(13:02):
electric lawn mower, crazy enough. It all depends on if
the battery is properly discharged before I plug it into charge.
So I've got to tie a string around the handle
to make sure it's discharged, all the stuff inside it.

(13:23):
So it's you know what I'm saying, don't you? So
it gets a full charge anyway?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Ak? Sure?

Speaker 2 (13:31):

Okay, nice to hear from you. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Phoenix Cheapers. Wow, get in touch. My name is Marcus.
Welcome Headle Midnight who. I just think we remember what
the lyrics to super calor Fridges to come. But it
goes a lot of under the little Underlie, under a
little Underlie. I think that's four times it says that

(16:32):
Marcus still twelve. A lot of people want to ban things.
My husband Gary would like to ban straight forks. They
need a bend in them where you run the risk
of stabbing yourself in the bottom lip. Constant vigeants when
eating out. Someone else wants to ban Tottenham fans. Someone
wants to ban people of music out loud on their

(16:53):
phone in public straight to jail. I agree. Someone wants
to ban things that are eight and nine cents cheapers.
This is good Sean Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (17:07):
I have to tell you good set.

Speaker 10 (17:10):
I'd like to ban online ticketing for a day market.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's a great thing, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (17:17):
What the online tickets or not heading online tickets?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Banning them but not for a day forever? Are you
talking about via? What's the website they're always trying to ban.

Speaker 10 (17:26):
Ah, like ticket aster all that, mate.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh there's one that's really sketchy. But yeah, I'm hearing
you for your go go or something.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
Yeah, they're just I don't know that. Yeah, we had
an incident on the weekend mate, to the thing. And
it turns out that if you bought the ticket online,
you did you to buy it physically. Was was exponentially
more expensive than buying it online. And it seemed like
a gouch to me, mate.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
What were the tickets for? What were the tickets for, Sean?

Speaker 10 (17:57):
It was for the speedway markets and you got and
you got there. Oh we got there for sure, mate.
But we pitched up to the Speedway with the family
and it turned out it was like fifteen dollars ERA
to buy the tickets at the gate for the family
as opposed to buy them online.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Wow, So isn't that a good thing that he doesn't
that mean online ticketing is a good thing.

Speaker 10 (18:21):
Well, I just think it's an excuse for charge more.
Else we're sometimes right to the thing, like they didn't
make it very public that it was cheaper to buy
them online, Which.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
That's crazy because speedways, the people spoil are the people
fronting up family just buy the cheapest tickets at the gate.

Speaker 10 (18:39):
Mate to the thing.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
So that's terrible for sort of out that sounds terrible. Sure,
I gotta run, but that's terrible. We are talking the
things you'd like banned. This is a welcome release for
some people. We are also talking tonight about Dick Van Dyke,
who's just released a video with Chris Martin. Well it's

(19:01):
they say cold Play, but it's pretty much him now,
isn't it. And I've spent most of my life avoiding Coldplay. However,
when they toured recently, he couldn't help watching some videos
in some concert footage. And you've got to say that
this guy Martin, he seems to have a very nice

(19:29):
way about him, with quite a genuine smile that I
thought because it relates delightfully to Dick van Dyke in
the video. The video is about. I don't know what
the video is. They sort of sing and song and
dance and talk about being ninety nine, go figure a hat.

(19:50):
It's got hit written all over it, and no doubt
the planet. His funeral, Dick Van Dyke's funeral, not Chris
Martin's funeral anyway. So we talk about the one thing
you could ban if you could, if your dictator for
a day. We're talking about your first movie, and do
you wish it was a better first movie? So there's
that and anything I just want to talk about tonight.

(20:10):
It's been Monday, feels like Friday, by the way, I reckon,
after years have not been into it. I reckon, I'm
getting more and more into secret sand Have you ever put
my name forward to partake in one? A family related one?
But I've become re obsessed with They won't tell me
the rules. I don't know if we've got the Yankee

(20:31):
swap where it's pick a number and time's running out
for me because I'd like to know everything about it.
So I can actually put some good due diligence into it,
because I think I've missed the probably the clothesline on Tema,
the closing date on TEMU, not the clothes line. I'm
sure they have a good clothes line. Get in touch,
Marcus till twelve oh eight hundred eighty eight, nineteen ninety

(20:56):
to text. There's something different you want to chuck into
the mix. I think it's been a lot of crisp Marcus.
I'd like to ban stickers on apples. Why why, why?
They are meant to be digested, but a total nuisance
in the future. Can imagine all these bodies dug up
with stickers in the digestive system with things I always

(21:17):
ate the stickers. I always assumed they'd be biodegradable. I
was most surprised to learn it they weren't. I don't
think they'll kill you. You never see any one of
the death noticed, as they say, dead, because they'd eaten
too many stickers on apples. However, I ate some cottage
cheese yesterday and the expiry date was October. Yeah. For this,

(21:46):
I had rare semble things in the fridge. Oh, that
was just trying to kill me. Once she's thrown out.
Watch there, I have a bit of that. Next thing
next minute tasted delicious anyway, I don't think it'll kill

(22:10):
me famous last words. Oh the other thing I'll tell
you since I've got the talking stick. There is a
TV show on Netflix about NASCAR racing. It's not fantastic,
but it was interesting enough for me because I've seen
the movie with Tom Cruise. But yeah, just a different

(22:37):
form of motor racing and to see what a big
industry is in places like South Carolina. There was a
good watch Marcus stickers on Apples. There's two high school
students who have developed a bride agredible sticker that you
can eat. I'm pretty sure you can eat. I thought
they were going to just print something directly on the Apple.

(22:59):
I need to do something because I'm sure people are
doing a bit of a swift at the old checkout
and they're actually putting through a less A bigger expensive
Apple is a less expensive Apple, mind you. I got
to the pack and save self check out today, right
and I got there, got my phone out of my

(23:21):
back pocket and a phone what it must have been
bumping in a back pocket and it said phone disabled
for fifteen minutes, so it'd wait there for fifteen minutes
from my phone to be undisabled. Yeah, the woman had
to keep coming and pushing, you know, customer assist. Well,

(23:45):
that's your fault, that stupid system. Good evening, Dad, it's Marcus.
Welcome to the airwaves.

Speaker 7 (23:52):
Lussy. How are you good?

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Good? Good Danno.

Speaker 7 (23:56):
Hey, I just thought i'd ring you and tell you
man about how on is best kept avocado secret. Yes,
there's an old avocado orchard at the end of my
road in ohw Et and it's there's about thirty thirty
five avocado trees that have been turned back into council
land and at the moment they're lying all over the ground.

(24:16):
What Yeah, man, it's crazing.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
What's wrong with the people?

Speaker 6 (24:22):
Mate?

Speaker 7 (24:22):
I'm only giving away the secret because I've eaten so
many times.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, but but to walk with things and keep the
commt you should be sitting up a walk. I'm only
store or something.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
Oh, I'll tell you. But if you want to have
a look on your Google Match, go to a cornera
clothes and it's a did in road.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Hang on, hang on, Dan, have they got the word
acorn and put I a on the end of it
to call it a cornea.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
A cornea, yeah, A c o in I A.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
They should be I shouldn't say should be shot. That's a.
That's a that's a to put I a on acorn
I mean creepers A corner, yeah, okay, corner A corner clothes.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
It's a diden road. You drive to the end of
the road, you go walk down the path at the inn,
you go left, left again, and then you walk up
through the bush and there's just avocado tree after avocado tree,
and they're all tree right, like the possums and nailing
them and they're all over the ground. You can pick
up as many as you want, mate for free.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Why's the rower not handing those to the homeless?

Speaker 7 (25:23):
So they're not worth sends? Tying to tell you you
can put a fluoride tap up there too.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Ah, you're keeping up, then, aren't you. I don't mention
that word on my show. I can't come with them tonight.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
I mean, but anyway, I thought I'd give a Christmas
present to the tearing.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm at the end of a corner. I go right
to the end of a cornea, and then on cornea.

Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yeah, and you go down into the bush, you walk
down the path, you go left, left again up the hell.
It's about less than one hundred meters and then you
just hit avocado trees and then about two hundred meters
it's just old avocado trees that are like old orchard
has turned back into council land.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (26:08):
And it's just like this on each tree. There's not
one hundreds, there's thousands. And at the moment you're like
black up on the tree, Dan, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I think you need a baked bean ten on the
end of a long stick.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
I've actually got a better device and that, mate, go on,
Tino and you get you get through. I've got a
nine meter extendable, mate, but you don't even need that.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
At the moment.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
They're on the bloody ground.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
When's the peak season?

Speaker 7 (26:36):
Right now, they're complete, they're so right, they're falling off,
so like if anyone around here wants doesn't want to
pay it, they're still like six for five dollars or
something at the supermarket. But you can get sixteen about
ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
And there's the other clue. I see the road nearby
is Hess Drive, And of course you know this as
is a brand of evocados.

Speaker 7 (26:56):
So exactly what do you think that's the other that's
the other entrance to the to the old orchards.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Well that's the giveaway.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
Yeah, so any what everyone around here, like, everyone around
here thinks is a great secret. But if it was
such a great secret, they wouldn't be ronning on the ground.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
People are lazy. What's this calm waves message?

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Like?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
What's that? Like it? It's funny what pops up on
Google maps? What people run from their house? A marriage celeb.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
Mate, I'm a single man. I'm like, heads to the message?

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Well take them some avocados anyway, But how much was
your how much was your timu picker?

Speaker 7 (27:39):
It was eleven dollars for the head? And then I
went to Miny ten and bought like a room like
a route yeah yeah, but one that extends out nine
meters and you can get right to the top.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
And the string comes does the string around at does
the string come right down? You pull the string?

Speaker 7 (27:59):
Yeah, it's exactly how it works.

Speaker 11 (28:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
What does it feel like being Caller of the Year, Dan.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
Coller of the Year.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Well, you're coming with lushy and that's a good start.
And then from then I was up and up and
up there was there was. But you you mentioned fluor ride.
You mentioning free would we say free fruit or free
beached their fruit day?

Speaker 7 (28:24):
And hey, I'll give away the other secret. On the
other side of the path, down the bottom, there's an
old Fiji orchard and there would be fifty Fijo trees
that are taller than my house. And they're like at
the moment there in a red flower. But give it
another two months, six weeks, and you'll be there'll be
they'll just be rotting on the ground. That's It's like,

(28:47):
it's an insane free produce, man.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
So what's this is it?

Speaker 7 (28:52):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (28:54):
It's an old orchard they've turned into a reserve.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Just in the council council reserve. Yeah, but they've macroplash,
but they've left all the they've left all the fruit
trees there for just for anyone to go. It's obvious
not enough people know that, man, because it's just avocado's
for you know, just there's probably one for every person
in telling.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
The Well, I'm coming down there first week if January
on the intercity, so I'll pop in there. That'll be
I mean, it might be in the full flurry, but
I'd like to see it. Dan, very good to talk
to you. Thank you very much for that. That's an
extremely good call. Actually, that's old Night. Doesn't want to
ban anything. Not a lot of negative Nancy like us,
is he? I hate apple stickers and see them my

(29:37):
compos been years after the apple call went. Didn't they
imagine the apple stickering job? Band pies at bakeries that
have been in the warmer for more than four hours, Frank,
I'd like to see some dates and time stamps on
the pie warmer, because yeah, you want you want the
fresh turn over, don't you. No, I tell you something

(29:59):
that I've noticed. No one plays carols. They must have
realized that went bad with your focus groups. You go
into Well, I'm not out much, but when I am out,
I've never heard any carols. So that's a good thing.
I guess can't be a bit claustrophobifying when you hear
them all the time. I wouldn't want to ban carols either.

(30:20):
By the way, Marcus, Apple p l u is stick
as I needed for traceability, the consumer can trace the
origin of the apple. They are applied during the grading
pecking process by a machine. They are now biodegradable. Marcus,

(30:44):
I'd like to ban self checking self service checkouts and
make them higher stuff. I'd like to ban tattoos, beds
ft me in with tatoos and beds bend the lot. Wow, goodness,

(31:07):
cheapest tattoos and beards. I've got no problem at all
with tattoos. I just think a lot of people with
the tattoos perhaps think the tattoos are slightly more exciting
than they really are, because they're never short to show
you them. Are they Oh look at this, look at that?

(31:28):
Or had a hard day. Oh I got a painful tattoo,
Well suck it on, baby, your decision. Oh anyway, I
wouldn't want them banned. Oh they're addictive. Oh they're addictive.
All you get one, you can't stop. Well I would.

(31:51):
There's some great suggestions. Marcus. Everyon wants to ban everything.
I'd like to ban the banners. That's from Brent good On.
You're banning the banners. Marcus banned bloody clam shell packaging
that you have to cut open to get into. I'm
hearing you. It's hard plastic and you can't open it
without skizzers. Especially the orlb toothbrush heads packaging. You have
to come open the clamshell and open the packaging around

(32:13):
each tooth brush head. It's criminal. It is criminal. It's
bad packaging, it's no fun. And there's hard bits of plastic.
I'm sure they can't go in to be recycled. They've
got a number. I'm there for you for that, Marcus.
I would like to ban mindless whistling. I like a whistle, Marcus.

(32:33):
Did you know the Kiwi Burger at Mecus's back had
four cints Friday best burger they ever had? And invented
in Hamilton? Do people need to know the story of
the Kiwi burger when it was invented. It's a big
story that and I've heard it told by, in fact,
the inventor, I think Brian Old. He invented it in

(33:03):
nineteen seventy six, tried initially an Old's five Hamilton restaurants.
It was added to the national menu in nineteen ninety one.
I have heard that they've brought it back and it's
not quite as big. So it's come back in twenty
twenty one and now twenty three, twenty four. But now

(33:24):
so it seems to come back well, it was comes
back intermittently. I wish they should campaign for it to
be permanent because keyw Berger that out decay removed from
the national menu in two thousand and four. Since the
Enator two is liberted a time item May two thousand

(33:44):
and seven, two thousand and nine, twenty eleven, twy twenty two,
twenty one, twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four invented in Hamilton.
Why is that not on the chase? Seems to be
a fronting, a frontal system working across Auckland. As we speak,
extremely loud thunder and lightning. People are saying very very loud.

(34:10):
So that's a situation too. I'm not saying that to
freak you out your night, but sometimes when something's happened
that it's good that you know that what you're hearing
as someone else is experiencing it. I think it's flooding
type rain, but it's pretty full on. But if it
does turn flooding, everything get hit by lightning or anything

(34:32):
like that, let us know it so quite strong lightning.
Keep your text also coming through soundra Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (34:43):
Good evening, Marcus, Paul Auckland, getting that cope well, yeah,
they'll cot Bell Cot. Now you want to know a
few things. One is the first movie you ever saw,
and the first one that I can well remember really
is The Sound of Music. My mother took me to

(35:06):
a about six times, so I can hardly forget that movie.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
I wish that'd be my first because it was quite
momentous to sound. I mean it was. It was a
big movie, was it? With them running through the fields
and the distributed camp at the end of it, and
that was a great.

Speaker 12 (35:22):
Thing, and all the children and all the.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Children diaesel and I think I can't think I can
name any of the others.

Speaker 12 (35:30):
Oh, it was lovely. I've now got it on DVD actually,
and I've got a DVD player, so I drag it
out every so often, and I absolutely love it. The
other thing that I would stop if I had the
chance would be gossip. Yeah wow, mm hmmm, because it's

(35:55):
very cool and it hurt a tample and I've actually
trusted someone that told me something and it turned to
be a complete Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Yeah, there's no good. There's no good. You don't even
want to be involved in that conversation where people start
telling you stuff either, because because yeah, yeah, and it's yeah,
I'm hearing you on that one too.

Speaker 12 (36:20):
Yeah, and that's what I would stop because it's harmful
and it's cruel.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well, that's quite that's quite achievable too.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Well.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
They also they also say what people say, but they
also say what people are saying about you is none
of your business. So that's the other thing too, is
that the gossiping about you who he is. That's always
been my theory about that one.

Speaker 12 (36:43):
But it's right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Yeah, sometimes you get yourself in those conversations. Actually, this
is not this is not doing any saving anyone. Well,
this sort of just speaking of stuff. Yeah, I'm hearing
you on that one.

Speaker 12 (36:55):
Yeah. And banana box is totally.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Useless, totally useless.

Speaker 12 (37:00):
Yeah, lid on them and yeah, totally useless.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I agree. It's a cruel taunted peck and say, well,
they leave out those banana boxes for people they've got
no bottom to them. Hate a banana box. Good evening, Marcus,
great show tonight. Sorry for the top at creep, but
wanted to give some feedback. I brought the barkeeper's friend
and a scrub daddy on the weekend. After listening to
the hype on your show a few weeks ago about

(37:28):
how good it was. I could not believe how amazing
it is. It is the first product I have successfully
been able to clean my glass shower with. My shower
looks brand new. It's incredible to have a good rest
of your night. I fully thought reading that text, they're
going to say how disappointed they were because someone always
likes to rain on your parade. Yeah, never in my life.

(37:51):
I've been so disappointed. No scar reception for the last
four hours. And Dairy Flat north of Albany. Dairy Flat
could do with a rename as the place it always sounds.
I always feel my life's getting sucked out of me
when someone says dairy Flat. So deary flut, you need
a more pippy name for your suburb, dearie flirt. When

(38:16):
sitting in morning peak hour traffic, it's no fun falling
behind cars and vans when the drivers blow a mouthful
of vape out the window. Where does it end up
straight in your facing car? Band vapes once and for all, Pete,
you'd be a supporter of the banana box, I reckon,
is that right?

Speaker 13 (38:39):
Great?

Speaker 9 (38:39):
Pick?

Speaker 10 (38:40):
Great?

Speaker 9 (38:40):
The strong box is all you do?

Speaker 6 (38:42):
Is?

Speaker 9 (38:42):
I know you're the bottom sort of you put another
piece of cardboard on the bottom so that covers that.
It makes that strong on the bottom of the box.
And you're the same again as you always getting boxes
in the supermarkets. And what you do is you you
put pack all your stuff inside them on the bottom box,
and then you put the lid on top, and you
put another cutting another cardboard out of another box, and

(39:04):
you've got a very strong box of pre box. I'll
deal for shifting her very good boxes.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
What are they spraying to bananas to ripen them?

Speaker 9 (39:15):
Oh well, ripens up all your stuff you put inside, and.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I'll be killing you. What do they put on that
Christmas part of you're in good spirts?

Speaker 9 (39:25):
No, I'm just saying no, that's banana boxes are fair good.
I use and quite a bit. And you, as I'm
hearing you, plumbus. They always go a lot of people
using for packaging. We have the book Fear shows here
and you plum off here once a year. They always
pack those book the box a lot of the box
and those banana box and they're very strong.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
So it's the devil's box, I reckon. I wouldn't go
to where near it. I've never really. I've just looked
at them and I thought that I'm not having no
part of that because it's got no bottom in it.

Speaker 9 (39:54):
I say, you put out the bottom on the bottom
of that, then you've got a good strong box, strong
and a bullet print. Those boxes strong of the most
boxes you can get.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Are you involved with the books, the bookstore, store, bookshop,
the book sale.

Speaker 9 (40:06):
No, I don't know you Sometimes and I just see them.
They always got them stocked stacked in there.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I'll tell you why. That's why don't go to those
ticke books hours. I'm always overwhelmed while there's depressing banana
boxes in the corner.

Speaker 9 (40:17):
I not depressing. They saved their purpose, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
What do they need? Why do they need that? No bottom?
Is it so the etheln gets in there?

Speaker 9 (40:26):
I have no idea what mark it's all about. Probably
there is to be some methods in the madness, I suppose,
and it's probably making the boxes cheaper, like me, more
cardboard than You're.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
A smart man, Peter, I appreciate you're a pippy spirit
tonight too, Marcus. Don't knock the banana box. I've recently
moved and they have helped me perfectly. Just miss the
start of the text about the glass shower, what was
the cleaner scrub Daddy as opposed to mutton ham S

(41:01):
only who Things seemed to mention to them, Mom, isn't
it Bob?

Speaker 8 (41:09):
Yeah, Mica, I said, good Bob, Hey, yeah, things you said?
You know your man? If you could, I would like
to ban secondary tax.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Can't you do cashes?

Speaker 8 (41:27):
Not where I was going to. I was going to
take a little part time job as well as being retired. Yeah,
but by the time I lost my secondary tax and
that it wasn't worth going. So they should ban that
because it's not encouraging people to go out and do
some work.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Can we read? Can we really? Can we reorganize that
in your head? Because I reckon, if you came along
to a place of is it a bakery?

Speaker 8 (41:51):
No, it wasn't a bakery, mate, this was this was
actually Kelly's. Oh yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
I reckon you bring a lot of happiness to the
other people you worked with her. You might get much
more coined, but I reckon you'd probably enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (42:04):
Well, because because I'm on the engine, you see, if
I work, can only earn a little bit, otherwise they
start charging your secondary tax, and I think it's unfere.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Yeah, oh no, there's no doubt about that. How much?
So would you make some money?

Speaker 8 (42:17):
I make some money, but I had to make about
four hundred a week before I start making some money
because I rang them up and I rang the compartment
and went through it with the fine tooth comb, and
it just wasn't worth it.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
So you'd get no money at all.

Speaker 8 (42:34):
Oh no, I get money, but it's just it wasn't
going to be worth the effort. Okay, So that's what
I would ban.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Was it for filling?

Speaker 5 (42:43):
No, No, in the.

Speaker 8 (42:48):
Once I've opened them muscles and that they come through
and then needs to be grade and packed and whatever.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Oh well, I like to grade a muscle, would you
with the heavy you ear marked there has been a grater?

Speaker 8 (42:59):
Yes, yes, that's what I was going to do. It
was only when I finally found out the tax and
the hours, because I don't tell you the bloody else
to be out for through the interview and then they say,
oh no, they about three o'clock now, Selena said no,
looking for a daytime job for goodness sake. It didn't
work out, but the jolly secondary tax was just not
making it worth it. So that's what I would man.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Marcus, No good on you, Bob, think you for eighteen
past nine. My husband has a banana box and a wouldn't
banana box with a bottom box with two trays above.
New banana box is brilliant, strong, just recycle some cardboard
in the bottom. Good for video discs. I'll tell you
something I did learn today. So people, two things about

(43:46):
Christmas trees. If you've got a Christmas tree up, that's
an artificial one with all your decorations. At the end
of the year, you just get a roll of glad wrap.
You just wrap the whole thing up, decorations and all
the next year, just take the glad rip off. It's
good to go again. Not very environmentally sound. It's not
something I would do, but there you go. The other

(44:08):
thing the first artificial Christmas trees because people didn't want
all the leaves inside the house. The first artificial Christmas trees,
and they look quite good. I've googled them online. They
were made from goose feathers. Yep, goose feathers. So you
got some Canada geese at your house, that might be something.

(44:29):
I don't know how you do it. They look green.
They look good. This is like in the eighteen hundreds.
But yeah, who would have thought goose Fair the Christmas tree? Yep,
you still buy them. You you can still buy a
goose Fair the Christmas tree on eBay. I don't know.

(44:55):
They must die the feathers. They look really good for
the person that's got everything, and get them a goose
Father Christmas tree. Oh, eight hundred eighty tatty and nine
to nine to the text. If you could ban one
thing today, what would you ban? People seem to have
made their peace with the lime scooters, haven't they anyone

(45:19):
brought up forty four years ago yesterday of John Lennon
shooting No, but people, it's one of those things you
remember where you were when you heard it. I was it,
matt i Bay school holiday after exams, I think, Marcus,
I take my decorated artificial Christmas tree down to the
garage and cover it with an old duvet until next year. Genius,

(45:45):
I notice, as good as the glad rat. But I'm
hearing you, what if your things drop off on the
way back? Be more contained with the glad rat, wouldn't it, Marcus?
As it's a golden rule not to leave any questions
on job applications, Blangrard answered, what do job seekers put
down under hobbies? And does it ever come up in

(46:05):
the end of our yet? But it's a year in hobbies.
You put scrabble because I think you're smart. You put
helping others. You put something that's a bit givy givee
to make sure you're going to rob the place, like
helping out of the local age concern or something to
what you pot I wouldn't do anything. You can't answer though.
Afterwards marcus great grandmother left her Christmas decorations and treepp

(46:34):
for twenty years always Christmas at her place. What a
delightful story. Something you can do when you're tired. You
can have Christmas ere because who cares? They were concumed
about deforestation in Germany because of everyone was chopping down
all the trees. In department stores sold feather Christmas trees.

(47:00):
They didn't shed needles, green dyed goose feathers, which attached
to wire branches. The feathers were split and secured with
wire to form the branches. These wire branches were then
wrapped around the scene. To Dowell, whicheckted as the trunk.
The branches were biely space to keep the kennels from

(47:23):
starting a fire. Be a great thing if you if, honestly,
if you started making Canada goose Christmas trees. I reckon
there be a market for that. Not much of a mark.
You're not going to become one of the mowbrays, But
I reckon you have a good could get go with
one of those twenty eight from nine ten. Rather the
things you could ban if you would been the things
you could bean and your first movie having got to

(47:45):
a riff about Dick Van Dyke, and my first movie
was Chigity Bang Bang, which was not a great movie.
So I don't know what you because you can't really
change your first movie memory, can you?

Speaker 5 (47:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Well, but late for that now, isn't it good?

Speaker 8 (48:00):
Evening?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Eleanor's Marcus? Welcome?

Speaker 11 (48:03):
Here you go, Marcus. I've got a bit of a
sore throat tonight.

Speaker 6 (48:06):
Right, So.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Does you sound fine? I'd gargle, salted it? What you're
supposed to do?

Speaker 11 (48:14):
Oh yeah, something crazy like that. I'll clear off in
a minute or two. When I finished talking, Marcus, I
wanted to talk about the thing that I don't like,
and I would ask I would hope it would be banned.
And that's a particular television advertisement format. Now, this is

(48:36):
an advertisement where a woman will jumping on the screen.
She's dressed in green, and she's comes up and she's
talking about insurance. I find that she is quite irritating,
especially when you flick the channel, go another channel. Guess
what she comes on that breakthrough. She's on multiple channels,

(49:00):
and I find her quite sickening, really that there's me.
So I would ask a.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Second about the fact that it's that she's in green
or that she's jumping up.

Speaker 11 (49:11):
No, the repetitiveness of a whole performance. It's just I
don't know whether you've seen the administ It is there
and and.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
What's what's the product?

Speaker 11 (49:23):
Maybe a mother telling a child a bedtime story.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
We every pro advertisements because they pay for our industry.

Speaker 11 (49:32):
Oh yeah, I don't mind that at all, you know,
just the woman in a green suit is so repetitive.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Is it something annoying about the woman that you don't like?

Speaker 11 (49:43):
Not particularly. I think it's the repetitiveness of the of
the particular presentation and the way that it seems to
intrude into your own sort of psyche, your own sort
of space. You know, maybe just me. Maybe I'm just
too old and cranky.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
That's all right, the least least, you know, you old
and cranky. I'll switch out every looking forward to that.
It was in a green woman jump out. Ill thought
you took about something with a green screen, but it
seems to be different than that. Mac MICUs welcome.

Speaker 13 (50:17):
Yeah, Hi, I've got a particular thing about There's an
ad on TV and it's a senior couple. Well, see,
they're having meal and a restaurant and they look at
each other and she heads out and then he follows,
and then they currently jump out of a window and

(50:37):
then with the intention of walking away without paying for
the meal. But the old the mate to d or
or whatever, was waiting there with an f POS machine
and it's a comment about the vent and can't be
run away from. But I just think it's a slight
on seniors. The more I've thought about it, the more

(50:59):
I was really starting to get a bit wild up
about it.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Now, mag what's the product? Did you say that it's advertising, Matt,
Can you hear me?

Speaker 11 (51:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (51:11):
Yeah, I can, But it's to do I can't remember
what the actual product is. The theme was they were
trying to go away from the restaurant without paying for
the meal.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Could someone tell me what the add is because someone
takes me through it and I can watch it. Yeah,
I don't know what that is. So it's it's it's
anti l it's it's it's anti the aged, right.

Speaker 13 (51:41):
That's how I see it. Yeah, just creators on the agent.
There's not many people aged people that I know like
that would attemd something like that.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Usuring age concern or something. I don't know even know
where you could go with that, but at least we
know the company. We don't know what they are, don't.
I haven't seen it. Someone says it's Someone says it's
an a mp AD.

Speaker 11 (52:06):
H Ah.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Does that make sense? Does that make sense to you?

Speaker 13 (52:11):
Yes, yes, that does make sense. He should be covered
by A and PY insurance.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Are they hiding under a table?

Speaker 13 (52:23):
One calls under a table to the guy and the
wife standing in the doorway, pointing her head as the
head this way, and then he popped up and he follows,
and then you see him them at a window and
he very gingerly jumps out. It's only about a three
foot drop, and then they're walking quickly away and the

(52:46):
old matre d or the headwaiter comes out with an
f POS machine and the answers you need.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
To be.

Speaker 13 (52:55):
Ensured, if you yeah, if I think it's you need
to be insured so you can cover your expenses, that
sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
I think the catch line is unfortunately, retirement isn't free.
Fortunately a MP can help with that.

Speaker 13 (53:12):
That's the one you've got. My brain's a.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I guess it's a school of thought. I guess it's
a school of thought also that you can make fun
of all groups, so you can make fun of the
elderly as well. But you think it's yeah, I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
it's quite well acted. It's not an annoying ad.

Speaker 13 (53:31):
It's not that. I just feel it's a slight on seniors.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Okay, I'll take your point for that, Mac, thank you.
What annoys me is the guy asking for the bill
does the makes out writing with his hand, which is
always annoying. Can you ever do that? Margaret's and advising
people save for their old age? Totally agree. The woman

(54:00):
in Green is too much. I changed channels as soon
as she comes on. The Green Lady and Scooter are
from Graham Marcus. I'd love to thanks. Patrick used that
TV one choice woman in greenvillet jumps suit hard selling
life insurance. I noted in a US program building there

(54:22):
was one choice name. So the insurance company trying to
rape back and don some Keevy's absence, they underwrote EQ
one choice insurance at adverts. Marcus adds up, polarized that
best of times Gentlemens is possibly on streaming TV, and
every time changes channels ultimately pops up. Oh, I see
what happens with streaming. The green lady is for one

(54:49):
cover personal insurance company and they pay out large amounts quickly.
It's an advert making light of dying. Life Insurance's supposed
to be amusing our enjoy good lack. But the said
is not funny in the least. Marcus, I feel the
same about the woman in green advertising insurance. She's pathetic.
I'd never buy her insurance. Cath Marx, He's not wrong.

(55:12):
That woman in the green suit is a pain love tea.
I'm with a chap about the ad taken off the screen.
Trish totally agree with this call. A lady in green
needs to go, she's so annoying. Cheers Robin. The flight

(55:35):
is landed returned from Papaiuti. If anyone is on that
flight and has been listening or as listening to the shelf,
they could text us why it's been diverted. I think
we'd be curious to know. Let us know, Marcus, the
plane has landed, has just got back to the international gate.
Looked like there was plenty of on the ground, five
vehicles waiting for it. How did you ascertain that? Because

(55:56):
I was looking at flight radar myself. I'm not saying
that's not right, but were you and did you have
eyes there? Or are you just looking at flight radar
and saw that? Curious of Auckland, let us know, markets Marcus,
good evening, Yes, how.

Speaker 5 (56:12):
Are you Marcus? Yes. The adverts featuring the lady wearing
a green dressing gown and is purporting to be working
for an insurance company. One of the adverts features a
gentleman that's has got his car has broken down and

(56:33):
he's got the ponet up that he's standing in front
of it, fishing around trying to figure out what's wrong.
And there's looks like the steam pouring out of the radiator.
Well there's actually actually absolutely well, last thing you should
ever do if you think your car is overheated and

(56:56):
it's radiators boiling its head off, you should just you
know you've overheated. Pull over this, you know it's inconvenient,
ask for help, bring for help. Leave the bonnet shup.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Oh are they trying to take off the radiot of cap.

Speaker 5 (57:17):
Yeah, he's fiddling around on the top of the radiator. Well,
that's the last thing you should ever do, because you
don't that with a faithful of bloody hot steam.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
That's crazy. So then she jumps where's the green woman
as she pop up?

Speaker 5 (57:33):
Yeah, she just suddenly jumps up and says, oh, that's
not too good. And then I'm going to tell you
all about this insurance company. And then she turned around
and says to the guy, right, let's get this thing sorted.
And she goes and sticks her head underneath the bonnet
as well. Wow, it's just stupid.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
You know that.

Speaker 5 (57:58):
As service stations they were many years ago, they were
all the service station and staff were instructed not to
offer to check the water in the in your radiator.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Oh we're back on that, yep, okay, yep, yep. And
they haven't learned.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Yep, Sorry, I didn't catch that.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
What was that mark? Someone said there was a man
in green that popped up in the beginning to switch
from a man in green to a woman in green.

Speaker 5 (58:29):
Yeah, there's a tall blope with a dark hair and
a short black beard that does it as well. Well,
I think these adverts are all made in Australia. That's
why they say stupid. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Do you think the Australians are stupid? Sorry, Sego, do
you think the Australians are stupid?

Speaker 14 (58:54):
Well?

Speaker 5 (58:55):
I think they make stupid adverts.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Okay, do you know I feel much love for another.
I feel a bit sorry for the woman in green.
You just be an nectar texts and on the plane
text us if you're on the plane now. So why
they came back? Was there an engine issue? Marcus? Before
the lady in green arrived, there was a guy in
green if you remember, Thanks Bretta ordiwa Marcus aukan too

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Problem the radiator issue. Yeah, I travel around a lot
with my mother and my daughter, my sister, and we
stopped on the old pub road, sorry, the visit road.
At one time, I was a little boy. I was
only born in the family. So I had to get
out and kick the radiator market. Wow, it was so dangerous,

(01:02:36):
but yeah, I got away with it. I opened it
and it did explode, falling hot water everywhere. That was
the first thing that came to mind. Made it was
very dangerous.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
I don't know what. I don't know what changed with radio.
You don't see have any problem with them anymore, do you?

Yeah, so are you going to leave your tiny home
and go into a until I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
Taking home with me on a truck mate, and I'm
putting it down cowhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
One of those things. Have you watched that series alone?

Speaker 12 (01:03:48):
I've watched a little bit of it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
I mean actually, yeah, now I'll come true. Now watch
all of it, lots of it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
They always make wiki ups. He's always signed on to
put up a wiki up.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
A wiki No, I've got a tiny home, mat.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Yeah. The Survivals is into wiki ups, which is like
a TP I think.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
Yeah, and I've done that many a time at school.
And done a wiki up heavy or heavy recording.

Speaker 2 (01:04:15):
I think they called them a wikie up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
A wiki up. Okay, I'm only fifty. I don't know much,
but I'm learning.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
Okay. I thought you said you'd watch all of a loan.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
I think it's but yeah, I'm sort of been a bit.

Speaker 6 (01:04:29):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
I've lived off scread and without bog all for a
long time. Affected at the moment, I lived without running
water or power onto my property.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
How are you charging your phone?

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Well, shivers, I have to go to the neighbors. I've got
a little car battery with a little solar set up
that I used.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
Yeah, and that's problematic.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
To be honest, Yeah, I can imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
Yeah, but to be fear of. Don't really have many
calls to make to be fear I mean people can
call me mostly. I keep my phone cards, but it's
not a major issue.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
What have you You get one of those battery pecks that
you get about four or five charges out of.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Yeah, yeah, I've got a couple of those. Yeah, but
you know they're you got to charge them as well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Yeah, I know, but you can get you either give
you out a week's use, though, wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
They Yeah, they give you a few days, just depending
on what you're doing. But I dropped them off somewhere
and picked them up and I survive. But it's yeah,
it's different.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Okay, nice to hear from me, Alexander, Thank you. I
know what I'm going at the end of the Show'm
going to watch how many heads are there of the
woman in Green?

Speaker 8 (01:05:36):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Do you know about the woman in Green?

Speaker 8 (01:05:37):
Brother?

Speaker 10 (01:05:37):
Dan?

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Do you know how many there are? Is he just one?

Speaker 6 (01:05:41):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I don't watch the TVs either, because someone tell me
howing different ends. I've got to watch with a woman
in green, I don't. I don't. I just want to
know what she's done. It's so triggering. Yeah, I can't
quite work it out. What don't they guy with insurance
acc That was complicated? Wasn't it? Kids whizzing around killing

(01:06:09):
themselves on farm bikes? Jeepers? So if that's something you
want to talk about, give us a call. My name
is Marcus Headle twelve oh eight hundred and eighty nine,
to text the thing you'd like to ban. If you

(01:06:31):
could ban one thing, Marcus, I'm many Henderson. And the
thunder came immediately on top of the lightning. The noise
was horrific in front of the life out of the dogs.
They should ban lightning defecting the dogs. Now, we don't
know why the flight nine oh two has come back

(01:06:53):
from puppy eighties. Someone googled white came back, but in
fact they've been They've googled an old flight that came
back from years ago. Yes, it's a dangerous thing in
the wrong hands. Twenty three to eleven. Louise Marcus welcome, Yes,
so Marcus, how are you good? Thank you? Louise.

Speaker 13 (01:07:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:07:13):
On the one choice, ad well, I don't know why
people are getting so upset about it. I quite like it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Actually, what so you'll be bad? Okay?

Speaker 15 (01:07:25):
No, No, The one that should be banned is the
Tha b one that really gets me up in arms
because they they're trying to say that gambling is is wonderful.
It's they play the mute the song Love is all

(01:07:47):
Around Me on the background. Yeah, it's really glamorizing gambling.
And I'm really in fact, I think I actually will
write it and complain about that one because I think
it's so wrong.

Speaker 12 (01:08:02):
It's so wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
But all the other insurance what's that about?

Speaker 15 (01:08:06):
Out one choice?

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Is it just is it just one ad?

Speaker 15 (01:08:14):
They do different sort of scenarios that start out with
the guy and it just pop up and say hello. No,
and it was funny.

Speaker 12 (01:08:22):
It was funny, and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
So what's the what's the what's the premise of the air?
If I can ask you that.

Speaker 15 (01:08:30):
That you get one choice and if you die, your
family will get two million dollars?

Speaker 12 (01:08:39):
Yes, yeah, so yeah, I suppose you.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Keep the doors locked at night. You keep the doors
locked at night if you're worth two million, wouldn't Yeah,
you have the family coming around.

Speaker 15 (01:08:50):
Yes exactly, But no, I don't find the defense of it.
And the one where the old couple drive off of
the cut, I think that's quite funny too, but I
think people are taking it too seriously.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
Well, the thing is that with the thing is with
the Turner's car auction. It's not the old people are
being made fun of, as they've been hopeless. The old
people are the villains. You think the old peopleould quite
like that they've shown that they've still going to get
up and going a bit of pep.

Speaker 15 (01:09:20):
Yeah, less life too, Yes, you know it the wrong way.
Tina from Turners.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Tina, Tina's a bit of a star. I don't know
why they've called herself Tina from Turner's because she was
very good on Taskmaster as Bubba, and I think we
all want to see a lot more of her.

Speaker 12 (01:09:36):
I didn't know.

Speaker 15 (01:09:37):
I didn't see that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
It's worth watching if you get a chance of it,
because she's she's extremely quick, very good, extremely good she
is and quite unheralded. Yelouis, thank you, Marcus. Can we
please ban portable speakers in public place, especially at the beaches?
That will die happy man? Marcus? Think what's triggering with
the lady in Green is it's on too much like

(01:09:59):
every set of ads eleanor Marcus. There's six ads with
the Green woman. I might get the odd omnibus. What
channel would I have to watch to see them? I

(01:10:22):
was watching about Nascars. Kind of slightly interesting. Ban hair
dyes for males over forty They are blind to the
fact everyone knows they look like a fool. Yeah, I
don't think i'd ever ban my hair. I think it's
I don't think anyone has managed to die their hair

(01:10:42):
and make it look convincing. And yes, of course they're
the ones that we can't tell because they look convincing.
But Marcus. I've been awklanders and boomers chair Michael, thank you, Marcus.
I just like the ads for pre paying for your
own funeral. I have no intention of doing that, but
feel guilty every time I see an ad Marcus even

(01:11:04):
mentioning vocal fry ticket, I prickly response mainly young women
under thirty. Can't they hear themselves? It's dreadful, but I
think it's so common now it's normalized. Ban it. Marcus
banned the ad for chicken where the family sitting at
the table turns in and face is awful. Get in touch,

(01:11:26):
Hittell twelve, Marcus to midnight, if you've got something else
you want to mention, would love to hear from you.
To unbelievably strong wins in South in the last twenty
four hours, and then Hale really has been three seasons
in one.

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
Glad.

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
I wasn't a wikie up. I think a wikie aup
is a temporary teepee. I think it's what a wikieap
is watching those survivalist shows. But get in touch if
you want to talk before the news or after the
thing you would ban if you could ban one thing,
and of course you can't. Marcus udbanned dogs from cafes,

(01:12:04):
Sunday markets and mite at ten? Can you take your
dog to mine?

Speaker 8 (01:12:07):
To ten?

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
Marcus worst ad green pajamas on one choice. The man
was bad enough, but the woman worse. Sent them an
email about the ad. They did respond to their credit
and said the products are good. I said I'd never
ensure them because the dreadful airs ban them. Please gin
who was the man? Who's the woman? She looks familiar.
I think she's a key we actress. Marcus are banned

(01:12:35):
jet skis, Well, I don't thin be one person of
disagree with you. There cheapest creepers, the old knuckledraggers, and
the jet skis, screaming engines ruining the ambience of the
beautiful beach. No one likes jet skis. No one and
all your people with jet skis you need to know
that everyone hates you that annoying noise and looks so mindless.

(01:13:01):
They might be fun to ride, but certainly the hatred
that you garner from everyone would not make up for
how enjoyable they are. That's the one text I've resonated
with the most. Weving get them in the bluff harbor,
Up they go up, the harbor out the straight back
they come through the fishing nets. Terrible annoying noise. Yeah,

(01:13:28):
that's right, I've said it. Oh, I'm beck and I'm
glad I've done that. It's life changing. Fourteen past eleven.
Good evening to you, mister Shu Welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:13:41):
Hello, huge arabit man from Eco huns Aye. I'll just
pack up from Paramount of hair by the old said
highway number of fifty nine of this now used to
be number one to eat my Moroccan goat casserov.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Wow, what what have you contained it? And like a
thermost from hunting and fishing, like one of those wide ones.

Speaker 6 (01:14:01):
Well it would be it would be a themist. I
don't have time to tas and one of those big
food ones. But it's actually just in a it's actually cold.
I'm going to eat a cold tonight because I didn't
have someone to eat it that before I went out
old school, old school. So I'm heading home now to
my wife. She's only about seventeen kilometers away this time,
and I've been out on the hill shooting a few

(01:14:22):
bunnies and now I'm heading home so I can have
a little bit of a snack now because I'm hungry.
It's been a good night. How long going about seating?

Speaker 5 (01:14:31):
Knots?

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
How long have you went up there?

Speaker 5 (01:14:32):
Here?

Speaker 6 (01:14:35):
I stayed hung to a quick chat with my wife
before I went out. So now I went out about
six forty five, drove for about thirty minutes to put
onto a bay hundred till just about now, about half
an hour ago, I stopped hunting, got back to my car,
drove down here and now I'm eating.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Do you do a lot of kilometers or do you
phiry static for most of it?

Speaker 6 (01:14:59):
I know I walk a long way. Yeah, I walk
considerable distances in a night. This particular job was on
the wy wreck of farm, which is goes from the
tower boat swamp up to the ridge and down to
the ocean, got to Apaian boundary, about a six hundred
acre farm. I only covered a small part of it today,

(01:15:19):
which was always the attention. But I did it quite intensively,
and I did a couple of loops it. So you
go through, you shoot where you can see, you come
back a but later shoot where you can see, and
then you come back a but later again and shoot again.
And typically you start in a daylight house and you're
finishing a nighttime house, whether the film or imaging or
spotlights tonight it's just spotlights.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Wow, Okay, sow many k's would you do a night?

Speaker 8 (01:15:43):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:15:44):
If I go around the golf course and why can,
I'm probably doing about five k's tonight. I probably only
did about two k's. But yeah, it keeps you howth
he keeps you fit?

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
Are you using the rabbit meat at all?

Speaker 6 (01:16:02):
I would like to if the law allowed it, But
the law doesn't really allow for you to sell, barter
or trade rabbit any part of a rabbit skin or anything.
And that's the old Rabbit Act that goes back to
about nineteen twenty eight or something like that. And I've
actually I actually set up a little business at one

(01:16:23):
stage selling rabbit meat. So I'd take it home, process
it pretty cleanly, punt of them little Chinese containers Chinese
takeaway containers. Found a catogram me sell it for fifteen bucks.
When MPI caught up with me and said that if
you I continue to do that, they'd come and confiscate
all my rifles there locked me in prison.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:16:43):
Yeah, So that wasn't very helpful. So I had to
reject to that particular MPI officer, and they haven't sort
of bothered me. Again, I think, yeah, it's what you know,
it's who you know in politics that will protect you
from that sort of onset. And I was able to
rattle off a few names of people who I know
in politics, and that person backed off pretty quickly. Yeah,

(01:17:07):
but it's the same. Rabbit meat is covered under basically
the same regulations as recreationally caught fish. So you're noted
that the sell part or trade recreational court fish. Recreational
court fish can only be consumed by your immediate family.
You're not even supposed to pass it over the fence
your neighbor. That's an illegal act. And so they treat

(01:17:32):
rabbit the same as they treat the precious snapper and
the blue cod and the talakihi, which is uly ridiculous
because they're on a different scale of importance. Fish are
incredibly important. The world being of the oceans is incredibly important.
But to keep the federal healthy, we've got to get
rid of the rabbits. So you should be encouraging people

(01:17:54):
to eat rabbits.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Those need to make sense, does it?

Speaker 6 (01:17:57):
Yeah, And yet guys have found ways around the legislation
like these guys in the South Island. Well, no, that's
illegal too. I mean a farmer who I know who
I shoot for, tried to ravel a hoggan for a
school revel, you know, and NPI I said, you're not
able to do that.

Speaker 8 (01:18:19):
Goodness does that stand you No?

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
No, I'm across all of these things because I'm involved
in the community and we try and we've had these
challenges with school fundraisers and stuff. So I do know
what you can and can't do.

Speaker 6 (01:18:31):
Yeah. Yeah, And it's kind of like that drift away
from good old traditional New Zealand, you know, when you
could have a pitch sheep day and stuff like that. Yeah,
so we're in a different environment. Now, what are you
banning queue military soil AsSalt weapons. And I know that

(01:18:53):
military soil of salt weapons have been restricted in New Zealand.
KOFU will tell you that how many she've been banned
because some people can still get them in terms of
three categories. Pest control shooters who should have legal access
to semi automatic assault weapons, which is logical for the
work they do, anti collectors and museums can still get

(01:19:16):
them and things like that. But COFU, through Nicole McKee
is working quite hard to get military style assault wea
ers reinfused back into the hands of the public. And
I think that is a really, really bad retrogauge step.
It will make you use an unsafe and it will
be going back to the situation that existed before the

(01:19:39):
Moss shooting where anybody could buy an A category weapon
and convert to military style weaven or indeed buy a
military style weapon. So why do you think COFU and
the ACT Party are trying to reverse that legislation that
was put into place after the Moss shootings with absolutely

(01:20:02):
unanimous support from all parties in Parliament, you know, National Labor, Green,
to Party, Marty.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
And what's your answer to that?

Speaker 6 (01:20:19):
The answer is because KOFU is best friends from Nicole
McKee n Cole mckew is best friends with David Seymour,
David Seymour and ex Party.

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
And yeah, okay, it's kidding a but yeah, okay, I'm
here and I know you're pastiate about this. Have you
got access to a Simi automatic yourself for your pit,
control for your for your pit? Have you been able
to get the fire arm your need for the work
you do?

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
Only in twenty two and five that's all I need
for rabbits. I shoot my goats and deer with a
bold action rifle.

Oh, I don't know whether they were in that one.

You're in a happy place that I don't want to
be anything.

Speaker 14 (01:22:39):
Yeah, well I probably do, but you know, once I
get started, I might not be able to stop you
at I heard a really good ad on on the
radio just before and it was an insurance one and
it was some guy pretending to be the Dot out
of Back to the Future movie, you know, eighty eight year.

Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:23:03):

but you know, it was really good to say. It's
those people that because I don't like that Green Lady
ed either.

I've never seen the Green Lady, but people I can't
believe how passionate people are about that.

Speaker 14 (01:23:17):
Yeah, no, it's just kind of and it's not only
picking on old people. There's this young guy and his
son trying to put a tent up and she comes
along and picks on him as well.

Speaker 2 (01:23:30):
For goodness sake. Yeah, yeah, I've tried to google the
tent when I can't see that, But yeah, I don't
think anyone's oldly in it. The guy for the broken
cars not oldly, is he?

guy that clipped his fingers to the waitress that was rude.
