Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm going to start the shoff with breaking news. Here's
a surprise, a rare surprise. Here's what I'm going to
tell you people, Do Do Do. This has been embargo
to eight pm. This is your first announcement of this.
I'm not going to make your guess. We've got a

(00:35):
very important musical presence coming to New Zealand touring November
twenty twenty five, Auckland twice, Wellington and christ Church. Tickets
on sale this Friday, the eighteenth.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Sircl Sir Cliff Richard, Sliff, Sir Cliff Richard is touring.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Who knew he was still singing? The only time you
ever seeing him singing is at Wimbledon. But Sir Cliff
Richard is touring. Go figure, Go figure. So he's had
number one singles in six decades and his wakiest single
was when he sang The Lord's Prayer to the tune

(01:29):
of Old Langsyne Our Father who art in Heaven? Hello
be the Remember that one? Bizarre, absolutely bizarre, The Lord's
Prayer to the tune of Old lang Zone. Oh Fa
who tried doing that. It's actually quite easy. Wow, Cliffy's coming,

(01:52):
that's what's happening, Sir Cliff Richard will be touring New Zealand.
I think I've given you all the details you need.
This is breaking breaking. It's called the Can't Stop Me
Now Tour. It's been eleven years since we've seen him. Auckland,
Wellington christ Church fans will be treated to a setless

(02:17):
pact with Thomas classics including Living Doll, We Don't Talk
any More, Devil Woman and many more. The only artist
to achieve UK Top five albums across eight consecutive decades,
so there you go. The fifties is a number one
of the fifties or sixties and seventies, the eighties and

(02:37):
nineties or two thousands, so it's eight decades. Would he
be ninety for goodness sake, Sir Cliff Richard. Yeah, that
Lord's prayer to the old old lang Syne. So my
sacrilege was it? But now he's eighty four. He's eighty four.

(02:58):
It's his birthday today, so there you go. He's eighty
four today, Happy birthday, Cliff. Of course you know who,
of course, our old Larry Williams was head of the
Cliff Richard fan Club for a long long time and
he'll probably get a meet and greet. So there we go,
Sir Cliff Fridge, anyone is it anyone's cup of tea?

(03:19):
If you want to have a quick comment on that,
I wouldn't mind hearing from you.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
How far.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
It was like the original mesh up to sing one
song for another tune. Yeah, the Lord's Prayer to the
tune of old Langzymello be Thy Name, and it was
like for a New Year's Eve song. I think anyway,
that's what's happening. He's touring, Sir Cliff Richard. Anyone excited
about that? How excited? I mean there's a special demographic

(03:50):
for that. Auckland twice, Wellington and christ Church take us
on tour Friday through night, Live Night. I think it's
a z'b co represent or something we're probably sure would
have some involvement with that. It's not gonna be flavor,
is it. Since his day burned nineteen fifty eight with

(04:12):
move At, Sir Cliff has delivered a string of chart
talking HAPs Incleen fourteen number one singles and seven number
one albums, and then his legacy is a pop leg end.
That's Sir Cliff Richard. How much? How much Treen tickets
would be? Wouldn't be too much, would they?

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Are?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
You pay one hundred? Between one hundred and fifty and
three hundred, that'd be my pick for that. So you've
heard it here for Sir Cliff Richard will be touring.
Do we get Oasis?

Speaker 6 (04:37):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Do we get Sir Cliff? Yes, there you go. I
wouldn't mind a quick comment about that, So I can
put that aside. We can move on to other stuff.
Does he sing Devil Woman? Doesn't seem like a Sir
Cliff Richard song, does it? We thought the Devil Woman

(04:58):
would be another artists anyway, if you want to mention that,
I've got a couple other things I need to say, so,
Sir Ben ainslie let rip at the commentator. Perhaps it
wasn't off Mike moment or an on Mike moment. However,

(05:26):
it's a Stephen mckiv. I've watched a lot of this
America's cut, probably half the matches, maybe more. And I'm
not quite sure why they have a what the live
coverage dealers. It must be something to do with Team
New Zealand, But I've always thought the Skippers have shown

(05:47):
an incredible grace to be asked questions straight after losing
a grueling match. I feel nervous just watching the questions.
They seem so kind of I mean, it seems to
be the mood and the tenor is wrong. So that
would be the least surprising headline to me of the

(06:08):
day that Sir Ben Ainsley referred to Stephen mckiva is
the way he did, because yeah, it's almost like, I mean,
you imagine the pressure. I mean, I don't love the
America's Cup, but you imagine a huge amount of pressure
that must come with the money that's been spent on it.

(06:29):
And you lose a race because you come off your
foils because your battery is bad. And then you've gone
around and you've realized, okay, you've lost this big biscuit
hundreds of millions of dollars. Then you've got Stephen mckivor's questions.
For goodness sake. Anyway, that's just something I need to
mention tonight. So I'm not in the least but surprised
that he did that, not surprised at all, because yeah, anyway,

(06:52):
I watch it again. It is on tonight tomorrow morning
there might be wind problems or something like that that's
happening as well. Fourteen past eight, I'll get to the
texts circle of Richard touring. Is that anyone's cup of tea,
and ben's been easily been read about Stephen mccavery and
the least the World's Least surprising headline. And you're try
and sing the Lord's Prayer to old leg zign. Doo dude,

(07:18):
doo do doo dude do we all know old lang sign?
Don't we do? We go first footing or whatever that
crazy thing is called. It's a good thing about living
beyond fifty is you don't have to stay up for midnight,
just go to sleep. Oh my god, seriously, it's his
birthday today. How do I know this? It's my birthday

(07:39):
as well, so uncoll but just found out that the
fourteenth and tenth is Ardie Savi's birthday as well. Yeah,
che is Jilly Marcus. Cliff is eighty four today, Cliff,
it's eighty four today. Oh, someone said, thanks for dissing
the Lord's prayer. I don't think I dissing the Lord's
prayer to what literally Cliff Richards sings and Cliff Richards's church. Yes,

(08:03):
all get out for goodness, you want to start dissing
Left Richard idiot anyway, text and not Cliff Dave Marcus welcome,
Yeah him Marcus. What's happening?

Speaker 7 (08:22):
Oh well, I'm ready that Plut's coming up? Be keen
on and watching his continent or awkward?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Where are you are? I haven't got any tickets to
give away, and fortune that can probably be arranged. When
did you see him last?

Speaker 7 (08:32):
I've never seen him? Okay, well no, I well I'm
in my mid fifties, so you know, yeah, I sort
of grew up with the eighties stuff because you know
that we don't talk anymore and you have a woman
in the only way up is the only way with
all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, I kind of don't know us eighties stuff so much. Remember,
I'm sure most most of people in the eighties rediscovered
him through the young ones.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
Oh you know. Look, look he had a stella career
in the eighties. Man, and he hooked up and did
some great jewets with the likes of Olivia Newton John
that did that song Suddenly, which is a great time
It's good song.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yep yep, yep, yep. Yeah, I mean, the amazing thing
about him is he's kept going, and he's kept going
and going going Azadi four and he's still going. That's
kind of amazing.

Speaker 8 (09:20):
Yep, that's for sure.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Look I sing it must be a time, and I
cover a few of his songs, and they always get
the get the crowd pumping stuff like lucky lips, you know,
and some holidays.

Speaker 2 (09:31):

of you know, it's just sing. They give me a
couple of lines of lucky lips.

Speaker 8 (09:37):
Oh you know.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
Oh when I was just a little baby and didn't
have many toys, my mama used to tell me you
got more than other boys.

Speaker 9 (09:48):

Speaker 7 (09:48):
You see it sunging the part.

(10:21):
I remember San Francisco for real. Well, Ben is a
wining pom. He's experiencing the same as Russell Coots and
team didn' bermeu do. They realized they had nothing to
answer with Stephen was only quitting a comment that had
come off Inos Mike Morris go eaty. Indeed, we used
to sing old langsagon as a harmony alongside Herman's hermits.
I understand just how you feel. Marg A friend of

(10:44):
a friend of the seventies, Sorry, Marcus, a friend of
the nineties love Cliff, so I went to his concert
with her. The highlight was Cliff coming out in neon
yellow cycle pants for a set of songs Winnington Town

add lib? I think he'd be singing, Marcus. I saw

(11:05):
Clifford one Inton about three four years ago. Was great.
Won't be going again because my son just surprised me
today with the wassist Melbourne tickets for us. Both super
excited there you go. Cliff Richards will be touring. How
about your tickets, Dan, He's on a Live Nation. Other

(11:27):
pricings not out yet, guys, from my understanding, So what

to cost, don't they? Why not? Oh, it was the
whole thing, Collectic Canada and Auckland. The ndet to Canada
is the r TA. Where else Michael Fowler and Wellington

But yeah, a lot of go around with that. One
Oh eight hundred eighty tatty and nine two nine to

(12:11):
text Marcus or twelve. That's the Big News, Cliff. If
you've got other break in newser's know what's going on
too for you. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine
two nine to the text Big news. And the Herald
got the red banner that he is touring. And if
you want to mention something about that, you think it
has had a number one, Well when you had that
old lang Zaine song. He had number one every decade

(12:32):
for six decades. I don't know if he said number
one single since then, but he certainly had hits in
eight decades because started extremely young. The numbers o W
eight hundred eighty to taty and nine two nine two. Text.
Now the question for you tonight. Here's a question that
I've been pondering it. But it's a sort of no,
it's not it's not a clumsy question to get into,
but it's a question that I think is one that

(12:57):
would be people that would that people would enjoy the
answers to it would be interesting the answers as a
child or a young person, teenager, young person, which sport
did you play that you enjoyed the most? Because reference

(13:19):
so keen on putting kids into different sorts of sports,
and I think probably don't always reconcile that. So just
what was the sport as a child that you like
playing the most, Not the one that your best at,
but the one thing that you did, the one activity
that you enjoyed the most. Curity response to that one, Hamish,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 11 (13:37):
Welcome, Hello, how are you Marcus?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Good? Thanks, Hamish I'm based.

Speaker 11 (13:43):
In why can I And I'm just talking to you
about my favorite.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Sport that you did as a child. Great, yeah, good, good.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
I used to love above everything else because I used
to really wait every week to go to the inter
club meetings on tennis. Yeah, I absolutely loved tenis you said.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I want to say a bit about that because I
was thinking about the sports I did as a child.
Of the ones that enjoyed, I really liked tennis because
it was quite social. You just hang around the drink
machine before games and it was kind of a whole
lot of people hanging out. Then you go play a game,
and then you go back to the clubrooms. It was
the pressure was our fae.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
Yeah. Well, because I was young and they didn't obviously
you had a cocher, not any alcohol. Yeah, but yeah
I had a marvelous backhand. What do you call a
backhand because I had two hands on the backhand.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Oh, I a double headed backhand.

Speaker 12 (14:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (14:40):
Yeah. And every week it was called Intero Club and
there was a thing called a ladder and your name name,
your name was on the ladder according to how good
you were.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, you know, I was thinking about that. I thought
probably the sports that I enjoyed the most, because you
think about I loved ten and I didn't love tennis,
but I quite of the way tennis worked. It was relexed.
I loved track and field. It was a big thing.
Must have been like primary school, intermediate school. You sort
of go on the weekend of the beinter kind of
you just sort of sit around and you go for

(15:16):
a racing and sit back down, have a sausage, have
a drink in a ribbon. It was always good anyway,
because you kind of the sports you think you would
enjoy out necessary ones that you didn't enjoy. Kevin Marcus, Welcome,
Kevin Marcus, welcome, good.

Speaker 13 (15:34):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (15:36):

I wonder when you're going to bring up and wish

Speaker 14 (15:49):
No time, I listen quite a lot, so yeah good.
My question is very simple. Does anybody know what time
the comment's going to come across the coast.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's just after sunrise, I think sunset sunset night every
night from Wednesday whereabouts. You said you're got us on
ninety seven that must be Ian Hamilton. I I was
going to say, you want to head to the coast. Hey,

(16:23):
we'll get the vibe reading from you. So I'm going
to go big on this the next couple of days.
So so keep it lock and we'll have the deets
for you.

Speaker 14 (16:30):
Okay, So good on you.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, good on you, keV So Wendy Marcus. Other big
Cliff hits were Congratulations in the Country, Goodbye sam Hello Samantha,
the Young Ones, and Bachelor Boy. My friend was obsessed
with Cliff Richard. She went to all his concert in
the nineties and New Zealand. She got his T shirt

(16:54):
left behind in a hotel room. A room cleaner gave
it to her. She'll be off to see him everywhere again.
That's from Dean Marcus. I'm not a fan of Wrinkle Rock.
I prefer to remember artists when they're on their prime.
I find it's there. That's from gen Well. There are
some artists that were very good when they were elderly,

(17:14):
and I'm thinking of Leonard Cohen Danced Me to the
End of Time, and I thought Simon and Garfunkle I
saw when they were elderly they were pretty good. They
also saw the Seekers and I thought they were pretty good.
I also saw Glenn Campbell. I thought he was pretty good. Well,
he's been walking the streets so long now with the

(17:38):
old Seekers. Of course Effa wasn't on the double base.
They had a guy behind them doing the double bass. Yeah,
because we won't live in a world of our own.
What a great group day with Judith Durham. Goodness me,
sound of our childhood. Anyway, get in touch by name's
Marcus Head or telve o'clock and I've got two there

(17:59):
in the list. I gotta hold you guys just a
little bit because there's a text I've got to get
to Marcus. I saw Cliffy at the then Logan Campbells
ten to thirty four years ago. I was heavily printed
with my first child and an emergency C section only
weeks after seeing him due to kidney failure. I've been
to a few his consciences. Still like him with the
day befo, I'm honest, I don't like. I don't listen

(18:20):
to him much anymore of re classy gentlemen, Susie, did
you call your kid? Cliff? That's all we want to know.
Did you call your kid Cliff, I had no idea
was still touring, mind you. I can't believe I missed
the basketball? Did they have many homers? Did Otani get?

(18:41):
Did he get? Did he get a home run? I
watched it when I get home. What happens with Sky Sport?
I'd rather have ads than the same old promos endlessly.
I'm sick, so I just watch it and then pre recorded,
then fast forward through the ads or make snacks. But
I just wish. Yeah, that's those same old commercials end

(19:03):
not commercials, but stationed promos. It's a hard watch. I'd
rather just have the ambient noise from the commentators at
the field. Actually, they're gonna sort that out. Sky. It's
kind of a kind of a clumsy package in the playoffs.
Johnny Marcus, welcome, Oh good evening.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
Yes, Cliff Richard and sports. So Cliff Richard Living Doll,
the song about the blow up doll.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I don't think it was the song about a blow
up do.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
Yes, it's a song fact, Yeah, it wasn't written. It
was done by the Drifters and the Shadows, but originally
a walk song, so people thought it was a song
about a blow up doll. Was was pretty uncool, So
things got changed.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
You can look that up on how did he change it?

Speaker 6 (19:59):
Well, I think they just changed some of the lyrics.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
So because he's mister clean, isn't he.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
Yeah, well he was on The Young Ones singing Living
Doll with the Lakes, Rick Mail and of course Adrian
Edmands and Nigel Plainer. Yeah, so it was in this
a songtrack, sorry soundtrack. You know, I can't remember the
name of the film, but my mom loved Cliff Richard
and a lot of people says, you know, he's just

(20:26):
he's just too nice. But I could basically be sort
of haunted by wide for sound. Yeah, I quite like that.
I was once trapped in an alphavator with piped Cliff
Ritch songs, which was kind of awful. But yet my
sport was hockey. I was a goalkeeper, and that's I

(20:49):
was pretty dangerous.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Okay, there's a lot to unpick from that call. So
you were saying the song Living Doll was about something
else and he changed the lyrics, did he.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Well, people thought it was uncalled that, you know, they
thought it was about a blow up doll, So that
was the what it implied. So if you can look
look it up on song facts. I'm quite often on
it because I love my music.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
So what did you kind of just say things like look
it up? I've never heard of this? Oh what are
soul effects?

Speaker 6 (21:22):
One Facts is like a website that gives you information
on lyrics on songs from different artists from from different
music genres over many decades. So it's it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
It sounds like could make you the party bore a
round with a full head of soul effects, you'd be unstoppable.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Oh I'll tell you what. I don't think I'm going
to name my son Cliff this boy.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
What are you going to name them?

Speaker 6 (21:52):
Well, we sort of thought like, we'll wait and see,
we'll write a few names down. But yeah, we've kind
of got You've got to wait and see what they
look like.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
And how far away is it, Johnny?

Speaker 6 (22:04):
We've got a few months ago, mate, But you you
know I want to babies still looks like Winston Churchill.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
No, okay, yeah, well look if you need, if you
need a few pointers someways up for a naming competition, Johnny,
But thank you. Twenty six away from nine Marcus Till Midnight,
two hits for a towny No home Runs it's a shame.
Well they said it alight. That's amazing. The Dodgers have
gone there. Nine l Jets are threshing, isn't it Wow?
I quite like this the pad Rays, but they're gone

(22:32):
Burger obviously. Anyway, Julian Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 8 (22:37):
Day, Margus. I am very lucky. I've already got my
ticket for Cliff Chip.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
As are you in some fan club?

Speaker 8 (22:45):
No, look, Cliff came over with the Shadows a number
of years ago. They did a tour of all their
old songs. I'm a jeweler, and the promoter got in
touch with me needed one of Cliff Chain's repaired, so
I did the repair. When he came to pick it up,
he wanted to know how much, And don't be silly,
I'm not charging you. But again, a couple of tickets

(23:07):
for the show. And every time he's been over, the
promoter gets in touch and they've always got a couple
of tickets waiting next.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
So I've always heard great things about Cliff like that,
Like there's some story that he stayed at the holiday
in or some hotel near the airport in Auckland and
then came back there and spent Christmas with that family.
He seems to he seems to do that. He seems
to come in low status and you know, and just

(23:34):
befriend people on the way and become quite close to me.
And it's quite endaring.

Speaker 8 (23:39):
He's such a lovely guy. He's very very very devout Christian, yes,
and a very a very generous, very generous guy. So
I'm looking forward to going to the concert and catching
up with him afterwards.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
So did they did they already tell you? Did you
already have a heads up that he was coming?

Speaker 8 (23:59):
Yeah, I've known for man in back four weeks.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Oh, thanks for the update, Julian Cheep. I'm always asking
for breaking news, but I appreciate your your discretion, so
I'm not going to give you a hard time about that.
But anyway, gay mate, can I.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
Just talk about the games we had as kids?

Speaker 15 (24:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:14):
What's the sport to you that you love doing?

Speaker 16 (24:17):
Now?

Speaker 8 (24:17):
The guy considered it was sport. I was about seven
or eight and I'm English originally and we were great
at conquers. Oh yeah, well do you remember conkers?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
We never really got into. Do I think we have
those trees? Do we? What is it as an a chestnut?

Speaker 8 (24:34):
Chestnut tree. Yeah, the the seed from the chestnut. So
you drill a hole through it and then you tie
not on one end and pull a bit of string
through the other. But we had all sorts of concoctions
that you soak them in to harden them up, and
they were a bit of a secret recipe for each
each person. So the idea was to harden them as

(24:57):
much as possible, because the idea was to flick your
conquer into your opponent's conquer and split it and break it.
And you you got you know, you had ones's and
tenors and a hundreds, and you know that's that's how
you played it. But that was the lunchtime thing in
England when it was conquer season. One of these days,

(25:17):
it may come back.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
What did you set yours?

Speaker 8 (25:20):
And it was a mixture of vinegar, a white vinegar
and petrol. And I think the thing the highest I
got up to was I was a better sixtier.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
So that means you've beaten sixty others or did you
get their victories? If you beat one that had if
you better conquered and beaten two, then did you get
those victories as well?

Speaker 8 (25:43):
No, no, it didn't. The we weren't intelligent enough to
work that one out. No, you just you just beat
the if you beat the person, And of course, you
know sometimes people would have these huge conquers. Mine was
that I would say average average size. But it doesn't
necessarily matter with the size. You know, if you'd got
the recipe right and you'd harden it off, you could

(26:04):
whack any conquer out the out of the pla.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
So you'd bet sixty other conquers.

Speaker 8 (26:09):
Yeah, and then somebody smashed me one of.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Cliff again, Clifford brings conquered. They'd been excited because he
probably relives but probably the same age as him, he'd
be a bit younger, right, you know.

Speaker 8 (26:22):
He's he's a week and older than me. He's getting
up to his late seventies.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Now, okay, nice to talk to you and thank you
for that breaking news. Cliff Richard's touring tickets on sale
end of the week to Auckland, Auckland, Auckland, Auckland, Wellington,
christ Church. It's a situation. It's not it's not like stadiums,
but it's events centers that sort of. It's indoors. I
think he's not doing Victor, he's doing Kidakana and Auckland.
He's doing Malcolm Fowler and Crew Wellington and christ Jurch

(26:53):
at the town Hall. Alan Marcus welcome evening.

Speaker 12 (26:58):
Yeah good Marcus. One't that guy interesting with the Conquerors?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Very interesting? Almost too interesting in some ways?

Speaker 12 (27:06):
Yeah, well, I found it quite quite worthwhile. As the
young bloke, I could not play sport because I don't
see too well, and you're always sort of you know,
teams sports and so on or whatever. Ball you know,
opposition the famous story that one day I got I

(27:26):
tried to play rugby up at Athel. I was in
a junior team. I grabbed the ball, I ran with it,
and trouble was I ran the wrong bloom away. That's
it that I didn't I couldn't see anyway. What I
wanted to talk about was was Sir Cliff. I think

(27:48):
that Sir Cliff is one of the better entertainers. I
like him because of his firm humanitarian commitment. He seems
to be interested in helping a underdog.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Tell me about that, because I'm not familiar with that.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
Well, I understood. I understood that he helps folks back
in the UK who have a bit of difficulty in
in just integrating in the community. I read some years
ago an article about that, and it was down to

(28:29):
you know, it was just basically seen as part of
his religious philosophy of helping other people, you know, and
that's just you know that was is something which has
always stuck with me. Every time I hear a piece
of music of his on the radio, you know, nothing
but positive thoughts come to mind.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Where do you go and say that he Oh yeah.

Speaker 12 (28:54):
I'm hoping to go and see him in Wellington.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Nice to hear from me, Ellen, Thank you for that.
Grew up listening to Cliff Richard. Just find it bizarre
he has never been seen with a partner. Marcus, How
does so many people start their sentences with look, a
space saver? I don't think I say look. I think
it's one of my quirks. I hope not. It's like

(29:19):
a front end, you know, you know, Marcus, when was it?
Teenager of my favorite spport was table tennis. Used to
play every Wednesday at the local social Diable tennis club,
with which my nana ran I played her last game
with her at ninety she turned one hundred and April.
That was a big reason I loved it because it
was time with Nana Marcus. Good evening Marcus. If that's

(29:47):
the KEYV, I think it is your receiver report about
something from a true master Mariner and a bit of
a dag. Hello, what is the start time for the
fourth American Cup Race? Please? Who am? I? Surely everyone's
got Google? Dan is at one o'clock. It spends on
the wind. One o'clock on a This is the race committee,

(30:09):
and it's hasn't got more interesting as the time's gone on.
None of it has anyone has? Has there been any
match when one yacht's overtaken the other one lest they
come off the foils? Eighty four year old Dion Walwick

(30:31):
is touring next year to who would be the oldest
person to tour? Would it be Victor Borg? I don't
know who the oldest touring musician would be. I know
that Glenn Campbell toured even with Alzheimer's because it was
his singing that actually kept him. I guess it'd be
Willie Nelson, wouldn't it imagine he's he's still to he's

(30:54):
his mid nineties. He's on the road again, on the
road again. Fans that guy fixing his jewelry. Oh double
elimination on Celebrity Treasure Island, Duncan Gala and melon Beard Jeepers.

(31:14):
It's a big double elimination. Not me left now, I
think it's only four left, Bubba and Callen. They'll go through.
They'll be all the way. It's not a bad show. Actually,
to be brittily asked, the kids like good family entertainment.
You don't get that so much anymore. You're Wanne it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 16 (31:37):
Oh Marcus, I hope you're all worthy.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeah, a good Wayne, all good things for hoping for me.
But yeah, it's perfect.

Speaker 16 (31:44):
So yeah, talking about games, I think back to marbles
when you were a little kid. Did you ever played marbles?

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah, but I kind of I was kind of talking
about more of the organized sport that you're kind of
you know, because everyone does sort of rugby and they
do league and they do c I just worry what
you remember, beckas the organized sport. I mean good, I
got marbles were a pastime. Is that what you'd call it?

Speaker 9 (32:11):
No?

Speaker 16 (32:12):
I actually think it was a time between growing up
from kindergarten then to primary school because I was at
Brandhouse School on Upper Heart and we had a big
Toetra tree and the Totra tree. We played marbles under
Tetra tree and we had smashes and giants and stumpers
and monkers and the toebreakers. You know, you would have

(32:34):
to take a toebreaker if you wanted to have a
chance to keep your ball.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Although I know a primary schools it's always a matter
of time until that someone gets the marble stolen. Then
it all gets banned. Does that happen?

Speaker 9 (32:49):
No?

Speaker 12 (32:49):
Oh, did always happen?

Speaker 16 (32:51):
Yeah, and then don't have a playing for keeps, so
like you've lost yeah, And yeah, I got a bit bullied,
I think at primary school because I played with the
older boys that lived around the corner. And yeah, they'd
come around and paying for keips was like oh you know, okay,
I'll pay your one to fit your one and if

(33:13):
you give me four of yours, and you had the
fulies and all that stuff. But yeah, and one last
thing macis I want to say is that you know
that it's saying have you lost your marbles? That's actually
from Beck and Row because in the old days, apparently

(33:36):
that was they were so valuable. It was like a
little child's placing.

Speaker 14 (33:43):
It was like a what.

Speaker 16 (33:45):
Like a child's toy. The marvels were really important.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Oh okay, I went to Roman Times.

Speaker 16 (33:54):
Yeah. Well everything was made in marble, you know in
those days. Two, So the little marbles that we played
with at school.

Speaker 17 (34:06):
That really important.

Speaker 16 (34:08):
It's just something you don't see conslate the sea stage.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Oh I got Fortnite, Wayne, was a choice between marbles
under the toe to the tree in Fortnite. I'm just
about the losing your marbles things.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
I think.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah, okay, thank you. Nice to hear from you, Wayne.
Six to nine. Cliff Richard touring. It's actually quite sudden, Marcus.
I totally agree with the person who called it Wrinkley Rock.
There's no way I'd pay big buckses into an eighty
four year old voice which can't possibly be as good
as it once was. Sonny two words, Johnny Cash, four

(34:44):
words Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, Both those were extraordinary in
their eighties. Actually, Howard was Johnny Cash when he did
it hurt when Rick Rubin got old of him. Unbelievable voice.
Marcus Burt Backerach was pretty old when they wielded him
on the stage in Auckland. Phil Marcus, Welcome, Hello.

Speaker 18 (35:12):
Just getting back to those those games we used to
play with movie youngsters. Yes, and I had my under stolen,
but I went more than not stolen, but marbles and
they used to film wonderful colors, and you had Mollies
and glassy Mollies and Steely's and you'd played for keeps

(35:34):
these et cetera, et cetera, and knuckleburns. That was another
one we.

Speaker 17 (35:38):
Used to play.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
You now recall that, oh very much?

Speaker 19 (35:43):
So.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, although I was I was sort of, as I
said that last game, I was sort of not so
much pastimes. I was wondering about the team's sports, or
the competitive sports that people played. And they looked back
and they think they were the ones that they enjoyed
the most, whether it be trek and field or cricket
or table tennis or things like that. But you know,
I mean, we go down there, We can go down
the old nostalgia own of knucklebys and marbles or elastics.

(36:08):
Do you remember elastics field? It used to play that.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
I don't recall.

Speaker 13 (36:15):
I may have played it.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Elastics You have panteose tied together around two people's legs.

Speaker 14 (36:23):
Oh, I recall the event?

Speaker 18 (36:27):
We used to call it something different?

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Did they what they call it.

Speaker 14 (36:32):
I can't remember.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Now that's been I'm sixty four.

Speaker 16 (36:35):
I'm going back a while.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Oh come on, it's not that long ago. I can
remember it like it's yesterday, becoming back elastics. But yeah,
that's not so much what I was on about. But anyway,
thank you for for topic creep, which is fine topic creep.
As talkback host, we talked about topic creep. Sometimes you
find it so if people at to talk about conkers
and marbles, maybe that's what they want to talk about.

(36:59):
Maybe that's what the show should be about. I don't.
I've never already played marbles or conquers. I feel like
something have a Bano comic Bob Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 15 (37:10):
As a game.

Speaker 10 (37:10):
Marcus, hit the magic You just hid the magic one
that I used to love going to our school and
enjoyed it immensely.

Speaker 17 (37:21):
And it was table tennis.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
It wasn't good. It's good because it's not based on
size or anything. As anyone can play, is it? What
makes it good?

Speaker 10 (37:32):
Anyone and even the smallest going to keep eat the
biggest gun. And yeah, I used to love playing with
that game playing table tennis. It's a good Richard. I've
got a few of his tricks on my playlist and
quite enjoyed listening to him. And if you're talking about
old people, you know, old entertainer's still rock and round,

(37:56):
like sh is Willie Nelson. But I just saw something
on YouTube and it's the old Frankie Valley.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Oh yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 10 (38:11):
Yeah, and he's completely it's so socking that he's out
of sick. He's clips sicking and it's so out a second.
So that's set the seat. But old Cliff Richard would
still build out a couple of us good notes.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Thanks, Bob. I've got to say that I have very
little knowledge of fiction or memory of any of Cliff Richards.
It's not something that ever kind of resonated with me.
Roger Marcus welcome, Hey.

Speaker 20 (38:40):
Mark, are you doing good?

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Thanks Roger good.

Speaker 20 (38:44):
Yeah, just talking about like playing games as kids, and
that when I was young, which is a long time
ago now, we would get to primary school, we'd play
soccer in the morning, and we'd play soccer at lunch time,
and then when we got home and we had a bite,
we would go down to the little Cold Effect just

(39:05):
down the roads, and we played soccer, but we all
played rugby. It was the most bre thing.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
So you for a team organized sport, you'd play rugby,
but soccer was more enjoyable just to pick up teams
down the cold.

Speaker 20 (39:22):
Yeah, it's just it's just what we all did with that.
And then we'd get on our bikes and go down
to the shingle pit or whatever or there was some
open grass areas that had little hilly bits and that,
so we're all riding our bikes through there, just just
having fun.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
You know where was the shingle pit? Rogers sounds good?

Speaker 10 (39:44):
Uh?

Speaker 20 (39:45):
That was well, yeah, it was over the back of
the Western Soccer Club here in Christ.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Judge was I was thinking so as you said, as
soon as you said shingle put us thinking Christ Jurch.

Speaker 14 (39:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (39:57):
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
It wasn't.

Speaker 20 (39:59):
It wasn't a big one whatsoever. And it wasn't like dangerous,
you know, you were going to have a whole on
a shoe all four all. But yeah, it was kind
of fun. Yeah, back in the day.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
So you played rugby from a club for your club?
Is that right?

Speaker 20 (40:21):
For the school? Okay, we'm useless.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Well, I guess when it comes down to rugby, if
because quite offrom this size disparity as well, isn't there.

Speaker 20 (40:35):
Yeah, Well, I mean I've been with the Belfast Rugby
club back in the nineties. I was there, then I
left and I came back about two thousand and four,
two thousand and five. Of my son playing, he decided
anyone didn't want to do jazz and tap dancing and stuff,
so he wanted to play rugby. So got him into that. Yeah,

(40:58):
on whod associated with.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
The club who'd steered him to jazz and tap?

Speaker 12 (41:04):
His mother?

Speaker 20 (41:07):
Mind, Joe, he don't have a good side step or
give him that.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
And that's from jazz and tep is it?

Speaker 12 (41:13):
No?

Speaker 20 (41:13):
It probably is, Yeah, yeah, because I mean she had
them practicing all the time, you know, in the morning,
and they never went off and played with other kids
in it. They just had classes to go and do
them that. And he just shower out a whole lot
of money for costumes and put some pieces and stuff,
and yeah, it all kind of fell apart in two

(41:34):
thousand and four.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I think with kid, yeah, I can image. It's a
long story. I think it's with kids, you just throw
as many sports and things at them as possible, and
some well enjoy, but they all kind of they all,
it's all good for your brain, all sorts of different stuff.

Speaker 20 (41:53):
Yeah, well they did. They did that, and he played
rugby and my daughter gave up seeing she k met
ball and she actually became what they call a white
umpire at a very young age, possibly one of the
youngest white in MW Zealm.

Speaker 17 (42:07):
It was really good.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
I've never heard that expression, Zepman.

Speaker 20 (42:13):
I'm not really sure. I'm not really up on it,
but I know that a lot of parents said, well,
that's amazing she's doing that. And then the boy went on.
They both played tennis for both good tennis players. The
boy was a really good golf player, exceptional, but then

(42:33):
got into gaming.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
As a gaming they stick ah as in gaming online.

Speaker 20 (42:41):
Playing, and he was good at that too. The yeah,
playing black ops online and all that.

Speaker 15 (42:47):
So sports that.

Speaker 20 (42:48):
Went out the window. But now he's back into it again.

Speaker 21 (42:51):
And he just had.

Speaker 20 (42:52):
A boxing match a few months ago that he won.
But that's kind of inted his career.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Why was he knocked out?

Speaker 20 (43:00):
No, it was not that he won, but I think
he got knocked around a bit. But just with work
commitments and there, it was just it takes a lot
a lot of training.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
You know, probably the tap dancing would have help with
the boxing.

Speaker 20 (43:13):
Well that's a good point. I'm sort of that. You're
probably right.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
I mean you got to think that. You got to
think of that, Roger, I think that'll be the key.
I look at Asanya was a dancer too, was he
before he got to the MMA?

Speaker 20 (43:24):
Yeah, it's probably right.

Speaker 15 (43:26):
Yep, yes, Oh.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
It's a good discussion. Yeah, thanks Roder clad I helped
you get home thirteen past nine. So is it looking
back at your child? What were the sports you look
back at? They're actually not games, not one took tiddley winks?
But what were the sports you what actually really enjoyed
that? That was good. I'm pleased I did that through the
distance of time. What were the ones that you thought
actually stacked up the best? Curious to know from me

(43:48):
if you've got no question or answer about that, Marcus
till twelve. Have you seen the footage online of major
floods on the Sahara Wheez, all the flat earthers? What
how come with the connection there? You still have flood
if the planet's flat. But yeah, I'm not saying the
planet is flat. I'm just curious, Marcus, thought you should

(44:12):
know twenty six is the only number between a number
squared and a number cubed twenty five and squared in
three cubes twenty seven. Marcus elastic was called the three
legged race. No, that's not what I'm talking about. You've
got two people standing facing each other about four meters apart,
and they got elastic between them or pantyhose, and they

(44:39):
kind of it goes ankle. I don't know what they did.
Keep them use forever sugar. Ray Robinson was a tap
down and says were other great fighters. That's right. It's
all about movement, isn't it. Boy, They got a lots
to say about kids, did a lot of stuff, didn't
they get in touch? My name is Marcus Hddle twelve

(45:01):
oh eight hundred and eighty eighteen eighty and nine nine
text Peter ands Marcus welcome.

Speaker 22 (45:09):
Yes, can eat me, Marcus. The plastic between the two
people's legs, around the two people's legs where they're facing
each other is called French skipping, and that was that
was in the sixties, big thing in the sixties and
the early seventies. But I don't know whether it's played now.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
You sure French skipping yep?

Speaker 16 (45:32):
French skipping.

Speaker 15 (45:33):
Yep, we just know what.

Speaker 22 (45:35):
I didn't do it, but the girls did it at
the south of the mediate when I went there, and
I wasn't done a high school. I don't think I
didn't see it, but definitely done it south of the
media and probably other intermediates around the and also in
the neighborhood where I lived with my parents and sprayed

(45:55):
and other areas of christ Church. But no, French skipping
is the one's looking for, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
It says on the Incidet. Chinese jump rope also known
as Chinese ropes, jump sees, super Kelly. French skipping. Yeah,
it seems so pretty much known as French skipping. That's
what we must have known it as here, and I
always thought it was called elastics. But French skipping sounds
perfect to me.

Speaker 22 (46:20):
In French skipping, I just thought you liked to know.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
No, that's good and good good, always good to good
to hear the sprayed and mentioned too brings a Jordan
my heart hear about sprayden keeping it real Chinese jump rope.
A lot of things were called Chinese, like Chinese check
as I don't think was from China. Combines the skill

(46:44):
of hopscotch with the patterns from the hand and string
game Cat's Cradle. The game began seventh century China. There
you go. German speaking children called Chinese jump rope gummy twist,
and British children called it elastics be coming back. I
thought it might be a local invention, but no, no, no, no,

(47:10):
it's as old as time itself. It was never competitive.
I think there were chants that went went along with
it also. Anyway, that's me, that's me topic creeping my
own topic. Marcus. Going to a Cliff Richard show is
all about seeing and experiencing a music icon, not too
many of them. On two of these days. He puts

(47:30):
on great entertaining show and is likable and an unpretentious
musician worth every dollar. I guess the thinking about Cliff.
He was never very rock and roll, was he? That
was the thing, even from the shadows, and it was
obviously a teen idol, but clean cut. I guess that
was this thing, wasn't it? But out he comes touring again.

(47:57):
Tickets on sale next week and he tours next year,
go figure remember without and everyone wanted to go see
out and he got standing pneumonia. Then he came back.
Remember he came back to Mount smart Then it was
the anniversary floods. I wasn't there. I was on talkback
talking to people on flooded buses and the like. Wasn't good.

(48:21):
It wasn't good at all. I'd say something a sport
that no one ever says they enjoy. In hindsight, swimming
seems to be the worst of all sports. All you do,
you go and talk to each other. All you do
is you go up and down, then get billeted somewhere
random Marcus, I think just to the right of the
setting sun to see the comment the next couple of
days of the America's Cup. Also, Sir Ben Ainslie has

(48:47):
got some publicity, perhaps spared publicity, for the situation where
he abused the commentator Steve mccavor. But every time I've
watched it, I thought it's incredibly clunky, cumbersome and awkward
to have to answer. It's a kind of a name
question straight after you finished the Race's I mean, obviously

(49:11):
they're trying to drive the audience to get people kind
of watching it, but I just thought didn't seem right
to me. Kind of let them recover a bit from
the race and have a bit of a debrief before
you check the mic at them, and most of them
behave can do. Most behave with much more dignity than
I thought they would have anyway, dB Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Good evening.

Speaker 17 (49:33):
I've just picked up a bit of a way of
passing my evenings that I thought you may be interested in.
For the more electronicity.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
That great.

Speaker 17 (49:45):
Yes, well, normally I didn't watch YouTube, but I find
that I can't listen to YouTube and listen to you
at the same time. You know, I don't have that
much bandwidth for my brain.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
I appreciate you, lord.

Speaker 17 (49:59):
Oh yes, I wasn't expected a compliment. What I've been
doing is I now have my television is YouTube live
streaming Heathrow so the landing of the thing's two sixth left,
and on my iPad, I have flight radar telling me

(50:23):
what aircraft them watch it all in real time.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Wow.

Speaker 17 (50:27):
It's just amazing because I'm listening to you on iHeartRadio,
so everything I'm doing after eight o'clock at night is
electronically supported.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yeah, we live in the golden times. We have more
information our fingle to than the than the than the
towers of Baby. What don't they what than the Library
of Alexandria. I mean, it's amazing what we we have.
So you've got you've got a big TV, yes.

Speaker 17 (50:55):
The fifty five inch and the firing of the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
So you have a split screen with flight radar and
the live footage of Heathrow.

Speaker 17 (51:04):
No, no, I've got flight radar on my tablet okay,
So the big screen's got a full screen of Heathrow.
And who's that that's just landed Montreal to London British
Airways flight line East w.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Sure that's a relief. I get it down that safe.

Speaker 17 (51:26):
It's down safe, And I was living, of course, I've
been doing this for a week now, living in the
hope that I get to ring rap it with breaking
news that someone smeared themselves along the runway and quite interesting,
but so sad. They've all all been interesting.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
TB. Is it a single camera shot or that does
it pivot between a number of cameras?

Speaker 17 (51:47):
No, no, this is a single camera and I've got
a funny feeling it might be robot driven. So a
plane it's only watching one runway, which is the arrivals
runway and Heathrow at the moment, it'll watch an aircraft
come in and as soon as it turns off the
main runway onto a taxiway, it swivels that even if
there's plane on finals, it'll sit there and wait, okay,

(52:10):
and then it tracks it without any jerkiness. So I've
got a feeling that it may be, like I said,
robot driven.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
I did do a show on this particular slot one night.
We talked about the webcams around the world that you
frequently go and visit, and there was a woman from
you Plymouth who rang up, and there was a number
of people, but these people love the fixed cameras on

(52:43):
some of the canals of the Great Lakes where there's
the Great Iron Ore ships like for me, the reckor
of the edminfit Steeral of those ships. And there's a
couple of areas between the man made canals when the
Great Lakes, and they just have the cameras on there.
And I happened to follow on to it when I
was listening doing the show. Look at absolutely compelling. So

(53:03):
if you get sick of planes ships in the lake,
superior is probably worth you while as well. Anything lending.

Speaker 17 (53:11):
Who's that that's just hit the dirt. That one there's
from Denver, Denver Can seven Dreamliner. He's down and safe. Yes,
we used to in my office watch the Panama.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Canw It's really a boat.

Speaker 17 (53:25):
Now I'm not so much just flight and it used
to update two minutes, so we were we called the
Panama Canal for half a shift and play it at
full speed, which was ten times life speed. And these
should come and think, you know, they come down the

(53:46):
stairs and it was, it was And this is I'm
talking twenty years ago when the cameras were wen't as
good as they are now.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Yeah, it's illuminating deb and that could be an interesting
topic for us. Let's say revisit to the fixed cameras.
You go and visit because I'm excited about deb People
get hold of that this YouTube he throws that what
they do?

Speaker 17 (54:09):
Hey, Yeah, on YouTube it's Flight Focused three.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Sixty, Flight Focus three sixty.

Speaker 17 (54:16):
And on the net for flight radar is just flight Radar.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Appreciate you dB tremendous call, like people their own passions,
you know, Trish Marcus welcome.

Speaker 5 (54:29):
Oh hi Marcus. I was just wondering if any listeners
out there who've had a knee replacement, which is probably
hundreds of thousands would would like to share their views
on their recovery. I had a new knee replacement last
Wednesday and stayed in hospital over night. Came home. The
information I was given was go hard, you know, exercise,

(54:54):
try and get on one crutch within a couple of days,
do all your bending exercises and everything. So okay. I
had to go to the doctor today to get my
bandage and that change got told off for going hard. No,
like you go no, You've got to wrist. You know,
if you do too much too soon, you can cause damage.
The swelling won't go down. So yeah, it's like the

(55:16):
left hands not telling the right hand. They're not on
the same page.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
I always thought you go hard early. I always thought
you're on the bike before you know it, and go
hard and go through the pain barrier. I always thought
you go tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (55:28):
That's what they said at the hospital. But then the
doctor was going, oh, you can't. So I'm just wondering
if anybody would try.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
That's tough for you because you just want to do
what's best and you've.

Speaker 5 (55:36):
Been and I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Craft who gave you the serve.

Speaker 5 (55:43):
Well that's the doctor today. Has said, you know, you're
doing too much stop whereas the hospital is going go go, go,
go go. So I don't know, yeah, but deflating because
I'm doing really well.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
And trust you said about thirty five too, So what's
happened to you that?

Speaker 23 (55:59):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (55:59):
Thank you. No, I'm not thirty five, I'm sixty four.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
But youg for a knee?

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Yes, really, yeah, that's right. I was at sea my
whole life, ye, floating around aimlessly. Yeah, but if anybody, yeah,
I'll just listen. If anybody, you know, he's got their
own experience of how they went with it, then happy
to listen.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Thank you, you see, because trash. Don't try and short
change me, because I've got things to say to you.

Speaker 8 (56:26):
Right, Okay, go ahead, go for it.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
There's people like you and me right that they go
and say go hard, and we'd go really hard because
we're not because we're full on people. We're not like,
oh yeah, well so that's it. We'll beat this a
situation to do some calf raises, you know, well, I
was doing them night and day, and boy that did much.
You know I should have been doing that, but they
didn't know that I was one of those full on people.

(56:50):
I'm obsessed with stuff, so you become how much were
you doing on your knees?

Speaker 5 (56:55):
Oh well, if they say to every exercise to do
it ten times each time, and do it three times
a day, but there's about ten different exercises, so yeah,
and then walking as well, which is anyway I've been doing.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
You got a bike, You got a bike.

Speaker 5 (57:14):
I've got an exorcycle. But it has only been six
days since I've had the knee done, so I'm not
quite at the exorcycle stage yet. But I was anticipating
doing that by the end of the week.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
But yeah, me too, anticipating you'll be doing that the
end of the week.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
Also, yeah, yeah, but now I've been off. I put
off and because my husband was there as well, because
he's going, you know, does he do what the doctor says?

Speaker 17 (57:36):
And I'm thinking, oh my god, did he?

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Did he go along with end of the doctor?

Speaker 5 (57:41):
Oh yeah, he's very supportive.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
You've got to keep her there.

Speaker 5 (57:47):
Oh yeah, he's my man made. He's Markel looking about him.
I haven't trained them all easys for nothing.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Easy to train.

Speaker 5 (57:54):
Huh. It's been twenty five years. He's finally found out
where the teatails live, So that's that's the bonus. Yeah,
a few things he doesn't know yet, but we'll get there. Yeah, fine,
left or right?

Speaker 11 (58:09):
Left the left?

Speaker 2 (58:10):
Wonder if it was left. What's the prognosis with the right.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
They're not good.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Yeah, I do that as well.

Speaker 8 (58:17):
Well.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
I have to go back to the specialists in six weeks,
so I guess we'll talk about it then and I'll
probably go back on the waiting list. It was only
two years to get this one done, so well it's up.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
We don't get teleyoff doctor next time saying you've done too.

Speaker 17 (58:28):
Much exactly exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
That's all we want? Is that it for you? Trist
You want to go, don't you? You really want it? Yeah,
I'm freaking out.

Speaker 5 (58:36):
I want to hear what Pete.

Speaker 24 (58:37):
I want to know.

Speaker 5 (58:37):
I want to hear what people say.

Speaker 17 (58:38):
Whether I'm what you do.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
What chectual question is.

Speaker 5 (58:43):
How many you know, when people are recovering from a
knee operation, how many went really hard? Like did they
go hard or did they go soft? Sort of what
was the best outcome for people?

Speaker 14 (58:53):
About?

Speaker 2 (58:54):
What about me? Having two and a half hours of
people with knee rebuilds, Barbe quite enjoyed.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
Actually, well, I mean it's probably training you up for
and you have to have yours done, because it seems
like everybody I know has had one or gonna have
one done. It seems like the in thing when you
get to a certain age you have a knee replacement.

Speaker 16 (59:11):
So we're running all the information.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Did you run?

Speaker 12 (59:14):
No?

Speaker 5 (59:14):
No, it wasn't no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (59:17):
What happens to me? It sounds like I can say,
design fault better than a hip Trishan the knees ridiant
great topic. Kind of thought that myself, because well, this
is it. This is up there with the cork and
the bed when you've got cramps or what's the other one?
People love restless leg This is like the twenty twenty

(59:39):
five version of are twenty twenty five or twenty twenty four.
Welcome Donna, it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 9 (59:45):
Hey.

Speaker 25 (59:46):
I had both my knees done at the same time
about five years ago, and I can't believe that that
woman was sent home the next day. I was in
bloody hospital for a week.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
No, not a week. Oh but you had the double shot.
Ye had the double shot, though, didn't you?

Speaker 21 (01:00:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:00:02):
I did so, I had I had I was double
crutch for oh, for a few weeks before I felt
confident enough to go on to a single crutch. But
she should be saying a physio regularly like I would.
I was going to the physio every week for a
good couple of months. I had three months off week

(01:00:24):
before I went back, and I needed those those two
months really to have the confidence I think I was.
I was using crutches for for six weeks and then
and then yeah, six or seven weeks and then just
just having that that week without crutches before going to work.

Speaker 17 (01:00:44):
I was working with.

Speaker 9 (01:00:47):
A nearly childhood so there was no.

Speaker 25 (01:00:49):
Way that I was going to go back to work
with around kids without on the seat and that.

Speaker 16 (01:00:57):
But I went.

Speaker 26 (01:00:58):
I went.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
I don't know how it out.

Speaker 25 (01:01:01):
I did all the exercises that the physios gave it,
and you know, did all of them several times a day,
like the physio would say. I followed them almost to
the letter. But men, I can remember the day after
the surgery.

Speaker 27 (01:01:17):
And and and I was told that the worst pain
would be the day after when they get up on
get you up on your on your feet.

Speaker 25 (01:01:28):
I was a tears, absolute tears. And the poor physio
and and the nurses men in the air was blue
with the language A wow. It was just but every
day after that was been. I won't step first day
was and I was up on my faith right now,
take one step forward, one step back. Okay, you can

(01:01:50):
go back onto your bed now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Nice to hear from your daughter. Thank you, Glenna, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 28 (01:01:56):
Oh hi Marcus, you just writ a lady ring up
about a knee. I've had both of my gne. One
was a piece of cake, the other one not so much.
I had at the knee taste and then about three
weeks later I had to get up in the middle
of night go to the loop and my leg just

(01:02:17):
wouldn't support me and I collapsed. And it turned out
I had it had become infected, and that's a real,
real bad thing when you have a knee replacement for
it to be infected, And in doing so I ruptured
the battalion ending that goes down the front. So into

(01:02:39):
hospital I went and they tried to fix it. And
this was in christ Church at the time. We were
living there, and it didn't really work anyway. We were
actually moving up to Kerry Carey and I got Mady

(01:02:59):
vapped out and I ended up doing having it done
in one Gray hospital all and the surgeon was absolutely brilliant.
But they never never were any stage did they at
either they did they say, you know, go hard at it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
They got the up so it eventually worked. They fixture
other knee right, Oh.

Speaker 28 (01:03:22):
Yeah, it's still not that was I had that done
in January. It's yeah, because what they had to do
is take all the titanium and plastic and everything that
was in there, take all that out from the christ
Church operation and do stuff. And then they had to
make it stronger so that it would hold better as

(01:03:45):
well as fix fort tendon. And it's still not one
hundred percent. I had to use a walker to get
around and that was that was done in January year.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Keep it going, guys, eight one hundred and eighty. It's
all about the knees. What to do with the knees,
because I thought you had to go hard early through
the pain bear otherwise it'll see up. That was always Car.
I forget her that someone I know had to knee.
I don't know. I can't remember the whole discussions on
the bike getting touched. Marcus till twelve O eight hundred
and eighty ten, eighty ninety. I'll see what the texters

(01:04:17):
are saying. Marcus is an awful nurse. I can't believe
that women went home on day one and one crutch
by day two. First week is slow pain relief, ice
mobilizing gently. It seems hard to believe, to be honest. Wow, okay, Marcus.
I was the hospital for four nights after my knee replacement,

(01:04:37):
sitting home with a walking frame and crutches. Threw them
away after four weeks, six weeks of video after three weeks,
Oh my god, near replacement. No way, don't go hut
at the early stage. Should be doing discharging ex s
those only, and then advice from a physio two to
three weeks postop. Tell Trish to keep it mobilized, but
don't overdo it. It does sound as if she's going a

(01:04:57):
bit hard. Cheers Mike. Goodness, Well, you wonder what the
old Sergio said to her. Ah, I'll get on the internet.
Is it a good or a bad thing to say?
One of those websites it says, ignore any advice you've
been given. This is what to do. You gotta be careful,
advice saying, because given very freely what's a joint to knee?

(01:05:19):
Is it a hinge joint? Get in touched Marcus till
twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten at ball and socket.
Who knows? Marcus. I had both these replaced three months
apart in two thousand, both of success. But I learned
from first one the excrutiating pain on getting up the
following day. The trick is to use a good leg
as a brace. No no pain with lowering nig number two.

(01:05:43):
Someone said, can we get information on stomach hornier operations?
It was a physio who was doing too much exercise
for me. My knee blew after a ten days. When
I rang asking advice after five, I was told I
wasn't doing enough. When I saw the surgeon after ten days,
he said I'd been doing too much. You have to
let the knee do some heal. It's free invasive op

(01:06:06):
do the first few exercises in the ten days and
start to increase going about the night. Knee surgery eight
hundred and eighty Teddy in nineteen nine to text Lauriy Marcus, welcome,
Hi Marcus.

Speaker 29 (01:06:20):
You know I'm sure that's pervice. I was getting onto
the playground games and one that hadn't been mentioned. We've
played when I was about a third or fourth form
involved throwing pocket knives.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
I think guys between your legs stretch. Yeah, great, great sport.

Speaker 29 (01:06:39):
Yeah, there's a stretching and you'd kept the stretches wider
and wider until you know the who who couldn't stretch
any further. Apparently it's a variation of a game called
mumbley Peg. Apparently that it must have been played a
lot in the States, even go back to Tom Sawyer's days,
that sort of stuff.

Speaker 15 (01:07:00):
But yeah, that was read.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
I read Tom saw this year. It wasn't the book
I expected. Have you read them?

Speaker 29 (01:07:10):
Not not for quite a long time.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
No, No, it's a good it's a good read. It's
a really good read. But I must have seen the
movie of Hack Finn and I thought i'd read Tom Sawyer.
But it was a different story than I thought. All
Around the Caves and the Missing Convict was a good read.

Speaker 29 (01:07:24):
Yeah, yeah, no it was. It was a book we
did actually at high school.

Speaker 12 (01:07:28):
See.

Speaker 29 (01:07:29):
Yeah, the novel when do You.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
When do your he is getting done?

Speaker 29 (01:07:35):
Lurry mineys are good? Well, Unfortunately I wouldn't write it.
I I just picked up recently. I've got besitis at present,
so we've got inflamed hip which I've got to go
to the physio tomorrow. And that's that's quite the fact

(01:07:58):
that I did a hell of a lot of training to
avoid that sort of stuff. You know, I mean these
uh hips. I mean I do up and downhill, running
long runs, and was he towards the end of a
three and a half hour run that I sort of
just feel a bit of a niggle and the hip
and throw or run that out basically, and it just

(01:08:20):
got worse and worse.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Do you haven't been doing Indian League resting or anything?
Have you?

Speaker 16 (01:08:24):
No?

Speaker 29 (01:08:25):
I haven't.

Speaker 21 (01:08:25):
No.

Speaker 29 (01:08:25):
I carried it on working then it was about nearly
a month ago, and kept thinking it was going to
be right, and they sort of forced the issue and
it's got to stage. I'm walking with a bloody walking sticks.

Speaker 2 (01:08:36):
Oh, for goodness, you a nice carved one.

Speaker 29 (01:08:42):
No, No, it's it's it's actually a walking pole. You know,
it's got a shock of over in it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
I'm not sure about those. I've got to run it.
Nice to talk, Craig, Marcus. Welcome, Hell, hi Craig, you
get it's Marcus here. You've had your hip done, you
need what I mean?

Speaker 9 (01:09:02):
No, No, I hadn't be done on those nineteenth that
a ruptured moniscus.

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Three weeks ago, right, four, three and a half weeks ago? Y, yeah,
three and a half weeks. Yeah, how are you?

Speaker 9 (01:09:17):
Oh yeah again, that later is far too early. Some
advice I can give it because I'm right in there
with that, is to that dressing should have stayed on
for seven days. And then they actually issue the wholestl
Island to issured me some water proof dressings that you
then put on after seven days and that might help.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
So they say to not be acted. They say not
to be active for the seven first seven days exactly,
a different message.

Speaker 9 (01:09:54):
Yeah, so that's not the right message. Like just very
light like elevation like pillow underneath the knee. And I'm
quite active, ton, I'm not supremely fit, but I very fit.
And you've just got to absolutely just go real.

Speaker 13 (01:10:13):
Slow at it.

Speaker 9 (01:10:13):
Mean, if if there's a pool close by, I'm quite
fortunate because we have a big pool in this town,
and so there's just a lot of soft impact in
the pool with like kicking. You do get issued codeines
and paracetamols.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
And all that sort of stuff, because it must have
been it must have been the surgeon. I told her
to go hard, right, text me, text me trusure, you
told you to go hard, because that's what I heard also.

Speaker 18 (01:10:41):
But yeah, I.

Speaker 9 (01:10:42):
Don't I don't think the surgeon would have said that.
I think the possibly is a bit of a miscommunication there.
But yeah, she's just got to get off that. And
if it's infected, that it's quite a that's quite a
dramacaus she's got to have it again. I've got to
clean it there.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
I don't think she see it was effected. I think
she said it was a bit of swelling. I don't
think she see was effect Is that right down? Did
you take that different? It's a different call. I had
the infected one. She's was just a bit of swelling, okay.

Speaker 9 (01:11:08):
Yeah, And if she can do stationary bike, Marcus, that helps.
Stationary bike, just some bum raisers on the ground, just
to activate your hamstring and your calve because they're working
over time as well. And I'm down to one crutch,
I'm actually off both crutches. That's still hobbling a little bit.

(01:11:29):
But just a lot of pool work would possibly help
her and just some very slow kicking if she's got
a pull available to that lady. But I think she's
just going definitely too fast at it, because I'm just
under a month and quite fat and just sort of
starting to get there. Now you've got to go slow,

(01:11:49):
very slow at the start.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
How'd you tee your meniscus?

Speaker 9 (01:11:55):
Hiking up Grindew Mountain and harware trying to keep up
with my professional sportsman son Marcus, which I'm definitely I'm
in my early sixties. Yeah, we're not doing that again.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
On the way up or the way down.

Speaker 24 (01:12:13):
Not.

Speaker 9 (01:12:13):
I think it was on the way down. I was
pretty good on the way up. It's a it's a
it's quite an elevation up there. But it was on
the way down I started realizing, oh god, there's something
wrong with my knee.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
So what did you land? Did you land awkwardly?

Speaker 26 (01:12:28):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:12:28):
No, it was just more of a it's it's it's
a very gnarly walk up here. There's no real track,
You're jumping over shift shift rocks and all sorts of stuff.
So yeah, I just sort of noticed there's a further
down I've got where, you know, And then I went
through all the X rays and all that sort of stuff.
And you know, I've been looked after very very well,

(01:12:49):
and you know that Siegeon was fantastic and that my
physiotherapy here is really really good. And yeah, it's just
been coming along.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
I can imagine how frustrated i'd be. What's the name
of the mountain?

Speaker 9 (01:13:03):
How were Grand View Mountain? Oh? It's right on the
lake and got to the top.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Is it Dockland or that American news casters land?

Speaker 9 (01:13:17):
Oh, that would be Dockland there, it's right beside the lake.

Speaker 19 (01:13:23):
I can see.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
I can see it now.

Speaker 9 (01:13:24):
Yeah, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 21 (01:13:26):
So that possibly will help.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
You're coming from the north to you up the valley, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:13:32):
Yeah, over the causeway and then it's only probably about
three k's down, Like you're heading out towards the west coast,
it's only about three k's from Harwire, the actual shingle pit. Yeah,
and then you just hike up hard into there. It's
not for the same hearted. It's big boys stuff, to
be honest. And it was a little bit out of
my leg and I was trying to keep up with
my very professional sports person son and that was not

(01:13:58):
going to happen. And there you go. So it's you
just sometimes get a bit older, Marcus and you can't
quite sort of do what you think you can do.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Yeah, wow, that's been quite a lot, and you could
get back into all that stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:14:12):
Is that what they've said, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, it
was quite a mess the X rays. I mean, my
session said to me when I came to that even
the scans don't really they sort of reveal most things.
But he said, we don't really know to we actually
get in and have a look. And when I came to,
he said, that was a mess. So but you just

(01:14:36):
move on from that and just slow exercises, just a
lot of pool work, all that sort of stuff, as
I say, And you know, it sounds like she's had
quite a horror story as she's been misinformed in some way,
and hopefully the message here for her, if she's listening,
I hope she is, is to elevate, you know, get
into the pool. Bike's really good with a slow tension.

(01:14:59):
With a low tension on a stationary BT two, you
don't want to wind it up to thirty. You want
to be on about two or three and just do
like two or three k's all that sort of stuff
and just gradually get back into it. And I've already
had to sleep up the side of the ears from
my messes because she's a nurse and she's sort of
told me off big time because you sort of think
you're going to get back into it real quick and
you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
So it's a kilometer up from the beginning of the track,
Is that right, Grand View Mountain?

Speaker 9 (01:15:25):
Yes, you'd be about a k up there, Yeah, probably
just over a kan. Then you look out over Warner
Car and Lake Harwi is right below you. Yeah, that's
that's and then right beside that is Isthmus is the

(01:15:45):
Isthmus walk as well.

Speaker 13 (01:15:48):
That's even harder.

Speaker 9 (01:15:49):
I'm able to do it, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Yeah, yeah, I'll go that one ago. That's on the list.
The other topic too, as far as the sports, the
organized sports you partook in as a child or as
a young adult. Which ones do you think we're worth while?
Which ones you think we're a waste of time? Which
ones you look back? I think what were we thinking?
Which way? I think? Gee? I love that looking back
through the focusing prism of time. I reckon no one

(01:16:15):
much liked swimming, right? Have I got that one? Right?
I am curious about swimming, Helga Marcus welcome, Hi, how
are you?

Speaker 14 (01:16:26):
God?

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Thanks Helga.

Speaker 30 (01:16:29):
I played two sports. I played basketball when I was
kids and baseball. I enjoyed basketball, but baseball I was
a picture in backstop and we didn't have masks at
high school, and I was too close and I got
hit in the face of.

Speaker 31 (01:16:46):
The bad.

Speaker 30 (01:16:49):
So that was pretty two of them.

Speaker 23 (01:16:52):
What do you reckon?

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
What do you reckon with this? What were the sports
you enjoyed the most? From looking back? You think the
camaraderie and this stuff was the best. Which ones do
you think was the best use of your time? Were
the ones that you look back fondly on?

Speaker 30 (01:17:05):
Well, I like that. But also I was a sprinter.
I enjoyed running, and I can still run at seventy six.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Do you race?

Speaker 29 (01:17:14):
No, just run.

Speaker 30 (01:17:16):
When I'm running late for the buster. If I want
to get run somewhere, I'll run.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
It's good. You can still run. That's good, you can
still run. But I suppose I mean we all quit. Yeah, Wow,
you know what happens with people? I guess people just
stop running because it looks kind of up to it
looks like it doesn't look that casual.

Speaker 30 (01:17:32):
Well, I don't run on much. I wear school shoes,
you know, the old fish and lace up clerks. Yes,
and I run, but just when I want to, you know,
So I enjoy it, but not I'm not a runner
because I know it's very bad for your anchors running
on footpaths. Yeah, if you try and run on tr seel, yeah,

(01:17:56):
but softer Anyway, I thought it'd share that with you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
I don't know about running when you get older because
your Yeah, it's all about the terrain, isn't it, Or
because I think a varied terrain probably is better for you.

Speaker 30 (01:18:11):
Yeah, running downhill was bet when I lived in Walk
because I used to run downhill.

Speaker 31 (01:18:15):
To the bus stop.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
It sounds like you needed a bus timetable. It sounds
like you're always running for buses.

Speaker 30 (01:18:21):
Oh no, the buses are reliable up there. They'd come
eaither early or late, and you couldn't tell there's only
one bus on out of Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
That's the worst thing about busses, and not knowing if
you just missed it, or not knowing if it's running late.
It's a terrible feeling that the in between zone with
buses is.

Speaker 30 (01:18:40):
At least there was a service up there, and.

Speaker 2 (01:18:43):
I think now you can just click on something, but
hewould thank you for that. Wait one hundred and eighty
Teddy in nine nine to text. I'm good to see
Jennifer Gray's back diddy dancing. She's back on the red carpet.
She's got a new movie. Of course, did nothing after
dorty dancing for years, did dirty dancing, got a nose job,
couldn't get any more work. But now she's back. Long

(01:19:05):
time between gigs anyway, it's of interest to me. Also
happy to talk about the playoffs Dodgers Attorney nine to
zero over the Mets. A bit of a threshing that one.
Presume match too tomorrow, but I'll find out for you.
Terry Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 24 (01:19:28):
Yeah this when you mentioned Jennifer Gray. She was on
an episode of House on Tally on Jude last week
and the replaying the whole you know, all the series,
and she yeah, she just looks so different. I don't
know why she if she was talked into getting a
noose job or or whatever because it suited her faith

(01:19:48):
in her natural noses. You know, it wasn't like it
concord or any thanks goodness sake, it really it suited
her face, and she's so I don't know if she
got talked into it, but she looks yeh, she does
look completely different. And it's a shame that, you know,
sort of ay dumped it just because she got a noose, Joe,
that's a bit me.

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Yeah, look, I mean she she must have had better,
because I think she was. She was also on Friends. Yeah,
do you remember that.

Speaker 24 (01:20:15):
I don't remember that how how many episodes she was in,
but I.

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
Think she was just now was it something to do
with an orthodontist? I can't remember the episode of Friends?

Speaker 24 (01:20:26):
Okay, all right, Yeah, look they had a lot of
you know, movie stars Brad Pitt and or that they
made guest appearances and whatever. But I didn't see the
one that she was also the with the cramps. I
sort of I've been told I read somewhere about it's
either you've got too much salt or not enough salt

(01:20:46):
in your blood. So yeah, I know you can drink,
you know, water, and you've got to you've got to
drink water, keep hydrated. But sometimes people use too much
salt and and maybe sometimes you know, people have been
tought you don't need to have so much salt on
your this and that, but you know, body needs salt.
It's really yeah, you've got to adjust that, you know,

(01:21:10):
to so the cramps can come from that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
It seems like there's quite often things under your tongue,
aren't that salt or something under your I don't know
too much about that, but I mean, at least cramps
are pain. You know, it's going to go away and
not leave a legacy. I think people get too weaked
up about cramp, don't they.

Speaker 24 (01:21:29):
Well, when I get crapt in my usually in my
calf muscle, I mean, gosh, I'm sort of doubled with
a fever. But you know, it's quite sort of consider
happen without.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
But you know it's temporary, don't you.

Speaker 24 (01:21:45):
Oh, I know, yeah, yeah, it's just I'm a bit
of a condortionist, but yeah, it's yeah, but it's it's
just annoying, that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:21:54):
Okay, nice to hear from your terry. Thank you. Twenty

Speaker 26 (01:24:40):
Hello Marcus Juice. I had a hip replacement and it
was a five hour operation and and I have to
have crutches all the time. And I lived on my
own and I was getting out of my vehicle door

(01:25:05):
because I'm in the motor home and the one knocked
me to the ground and made me thing get made
me worse. And I've been but I'm getting getting there.
And and for cramp, I was at a reunion many

(01:25:26):
years ago, school reunion and the doctor told me to
put a teaspoon and sugar under me tongue and that works.

Speaker 2 (01:25:36):
Were you to a school reunion and did someone say
they're a doctor and you asked them for medical advice?

Speaker 26 (01:25:41):
He came out, he said, came over and asked my husband,
and she got cramped and my husband, Wow, did.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
You have it did you Did you cramp up at
the reunion?

Speaker 26 (01:25:52):
Yes, I was at the dinner and I had cramp
and I was only only nineteen then, and.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Yees so.

Speaker 26 (01:26:05):
And he told me to put a teaspoons of sugar
under my tongue. And I've been I've been getting cramped
quite a bit lately, and i'd just been doing it,
putting sugar under my tongue when I get it, and
that stops it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
Yeah, gosh, nineteen for Young Tobets reunion.

Speaker 26 (01:26:25):
Well that years ago. I'm ninety four. You're ninety four, Yes,

No, I'd drive everywhere, you'd say that. Yeah, I'd drive everywhere.
I got my license in June and it was now
and a quarter and driving around Ashurst and Palmers North,
in and out of all the streets in that and

(01:27:02):
I passed me license and got a three page letter
from me instructor.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
What did it say? The three pages?

Speaker 26 (01:27:12):
Wow, I said about there was only one thing that
I I was coming past and passing lines, and I
could see a car and it was getting out to
the end, and I went over to the zebra crossings
as I call them, and he told me I shouldn't
have done that, but he couldn't see. He was writing

(01:27:35):
things down, he didn't see the car coming up the
side of me, and there's a big truck coming towards me,
and I just kept over. I never got it out,
and he told me not to do that. But yeah,
it was three page letter. Tell me what a what
a good job I've done.

Speaker 30 (01:27:54):
Wow do you move?

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Do you move around much?

Speaker 12 (01:27:59):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (01:27:59):
I go everywhere.

Speaker 33 (01:28:03):
All all the time.

Speaker 26 (01:28:04):
I'm always driving here there.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
And how are you? How have you been in the
motor home for Joyce?

Speaker 26 (01:28:11):
This one I've been in on the eighteenth of November.
I've been in fifteen years. We brought a brand new
and I've been on. I've been in the motor home
twelve years on my own since my husband died, and
we started out in two thousand and one. And anyway

(01:28:36):
is home and I live my own and I'm I
love the light of this and I cook for myself
and everything else. So yeah, and get ma own groceries
and everything else.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Oh, that's amazing to talk to you, Joyce. So thank
you so much for calling. Marcus. I just had a
full replacement about a year ago. And received different information
and respect to rehabilitation. The key is to out of
solely just to the basic exercise that year were given
on discharge, which is basically tearing the scar tissue to
enable a good range of movement. My knee was improving,

(01:29:14):
so I decided up the ante and respect in respect
of exercise, which ended up in inflammation and pain. Taking
the right back to the start of the process. I
was doing eighty five klo around league press and heaps
of squatch, which I thought was helping but seems to
have been adverse effect. My knee was a bit of
a mess. I've been at working tor. My moniscus due
to hyper extension, has old dirt bug injuries and I

(01:29:35):
actually just dissicated it in my last year of rugby
leg at forty years old. I think it's a matter
of being patient, my specious Dobb, it will take twelve
to eighteen months to get back to normal. By the way,
that guy was a bit worried about the anesthetic. Don't
you worry. You can stay awake for the whole thing
with the help of epidural hear and feel everything but
no pain. Although when the lower and upper spikes were
been hammered and it was a bit rugged kind text.

(01:29:57):
Thanks for your thought for that, Kevin. Hello Richard, Hello,
it's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:30:04):
Hello Marcus talking about me and hips.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
Mainly about me. Someone went to wording and she got
told off and she wanted what was the advice?

Speaker 13 (01:30:13):
Okay, radio me. I've had some replacements, mainly from over
the use in sport, starting off with cross country running,
downhill running in particular, and then probably forty or fifty

(01:30:38):
years of skiing no skiing, and essentially just wore them
out and one by one they were replaced. Now, if
you take it gently.

Speaker 21 (01:30:58):
In the.

Speaker 13 (01:31:00):
Recuperation stage, they work fine, but never think that they
go to the same was good the one you were
born with.

Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
Okay, it's interesting, Yeah, why are there is what? What's
what's the difference?

Speaker 13 (01:31:19):
I think the difference is there only seems to have
a lifetime around about eight years.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Oh wow, okay.

Speaker 13 (01:31:30):
I went back to the authopedic surgeon and said, look
this k nees kidding a mum and silly, and he said, look, Richard,
my boy, your scheme days are essentially over. On is
you to go and have another one or another another

(01:31:52):
one replaced? At this point I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:55):
Believe it, yes, which i'ven't got the news, but thank
you so much for coming through. Nice to hear from you, Marcus.
I'd both need have placed twenty four years ago of
reactive with a large garden. Only drawback is leaning is
very uncomfortable. Mary Marks had two knee replacements in the
past year and the joy to get through a winter
without the painter is amazing. Not to mention I can
actually go for a walk on the beach and use

(01:32:15):
a stick. Best thing I've ever done. But if I
mentioned about crap, we're talking about the sports that team,
the sports that you when you played as a child,
the team sport of the organized sport you look back
and think it was a waste of time. I'm thinking
maybe it was swimming. But interesting enough, one of the
sports I have the most fond memories of as a

(01:32:36):
child was track and field athletics. I used to call it.
You go to a club and you'd have running races,
and then every so oft from the weekend you'd go
to big sort of events and you'd race, and you'd
sit down in the sun and you'd wait. There'd be
a race, a lot of sitting around but a lot

(01:32:57):
of fun. I don't know why there was something. I
think the good thing about sport of sport when you're
there for a while, you've got time to talk to
your mates and stuff becomes quite good fun. So I
thought tennis was good. Also in the clubhouse things happen.
The actual sport wasn't that good good at it, but
it was always fun because you're part of something. There's

(01:33:18):
another sports you go and play the whole time eighty minutes.
It's not because you're dull, too intense. That's just my thought.
To eleven eleven, Louise, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 34 (01:33:28):
Yeah, hi Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 14 (01:33:29):
Good?

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Takes Louise?

Speaker 34 (01:33:32):
Yeah, these I've had two knee replacements, one in twenty
thirteen and one in twenty sixteen. So you know, you
can't just say a blanket rules only last eight years.

Speaker 16 (01:33:47):
They don't.

Speaker 34 (01:33:47):
They last longer. Okay, it depends on what you do. Basically,
if you're out running every day, then I suppose it
would last years.

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
But do they tell you to go easy on the
replacement ones?

Speaker 34 (01:34:04):
Well, no, no, About a day after the operation or so,
maybe two days the video comes in, you know, rubbing
your hands together with Flea and tells you to do
the exercises, which you do and if you don't do them,

(01:34:24):
it'll end up with a limp and it just won't,
you know, feel too well either. But yeah, you can't
go crazy on the exercise. But the best things for
knees before and after is the cycling cyclone, preferably stationary bike.

(01:34:46):
It might be but risky going out on the road.
That stationary bike brilliant.

Speaker 2 (01:34:52):
And tell me something, Louise, But when you've got your
knee back up and running, are you supposed to limit
it limit its use because you call you'll wear it
out too quickly.

Speaker 34 (01:35:01):
Well, they don't say that. You just do what they
just tell you.

Speaker 11 (01:35:06):
Just do what you normally do.

Speaker 34 (01:35:08):
The only issue I've had is I can't really kneel.
If I do, it's quite painful. But other than that,
I mean, the least of my worries.

Speaker 13 (01:35:20):
Really.

Speaker 34 (01:35:21):
I found that the new replacement THIR three pretty much
a breeze, really, because I've had spinal surgery and.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
That's not oh okay, yeah, okay, wow, it was.

Speaker 34 (01:35:34):
It was nothing. But also I think because I did
cycling that helped. I mean, the surgeon was absolutely it's
just about jump for joy. When I told him I
did the cycling.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
How long after operation were you doing the cycling?

Speaker 14 (01:35:52):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (01:35:53):
Yeah, good question.

Speaker 34 (01:35:54):
Probably it would have been a couple of weeks, probably
pretty quickly.

Speaker 14 (01:35:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
Okay, you said have done at any time again soon?

Speaker 12 (01:36:04):
I hope not.

Speaker 2 (01:36:05):
No, I hope not.

Speaker 13 (01:36:08):
Yeah, no no.

Speaker 34 (01:36:09):
I mean I can't walk very fad because it's fine
so they don't get to overuse. But I do cycle
ten ks my days.

Speaker 2 (01:36:20):
So for doing all that. Okay, Luis, thank you. I'll
read the text. Marcus. My late husband had both of
these duninraths writers in twenty ten. My daughter aged fifty three,
two years ago, and they don't have to be replaced.
Was an accident, but nineteen years before Specials had case reopened.
She's back whopping every day and swimming good as ever. Marcus,

(01:36:42):
and the replacements last for fifteen to twenty years. My
mine are titanium. Marcus. Probably have to have a capsize
or a nose dive for the lead to change in
the America's cup. Yeah, it just seems you get the
gun and you go it's boring and she come off
the foils. But I said this before with Stephen mckiva.

(01:37:04):
I thought the way they talk to the skipper stread
after the way, so I think it's very awkward. I
think the coverage is awkward. It's not easy to watch.
I feel very kind of cringey watching them ask the questions.
You've just been hammered in a race. There's hundreds of
millions of dollars on the line, and they're saying, well,
you know, it's all about blokey, kind of lighthearted Pete there, Montgomery, Mike,

(01:37:32):
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 4 (01:37:34):
Yeah, Hi, yes, I just thought I did that. Lady
talking about having knees done. I've had two knees done
at different times, both from sporting injuries, and I'm one
of the very fortunate ones that i can actually kneel
on both knees. It's not a normal thing to happen.

(01:37:55):
It can be a bit difficult getting up from time
to time, occasionally needing some support. But for those listeners
that might be worried about not being able to get up,
I'm plating knee surgery. It does happen that you can
get up, and must have. I had a bloody good
surgeon that did both of them, and so life goes on,

(01:38:17):
and the cycling thing I entirely agree with. I go
to I loved ice, can go to what was the
wins agent trouns a week cycle for half an hour,
got some pressure on it every now and then, And
life goes on and I can walk my problems at all,
walk with my wife with the dog. All's good.

Speaker 2 (01:38:37):
Why can't so many people? Iel?

Speaker 4 (01:38:40):
I don't know if to ask an orthopedic surgeon, yeah,
I'm not one.

Speaker 9 (01:38:43):
I is.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
So it must be not the joint itself. It must
be the muscles around the joint. You'd think, would you.

Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
Well, your muscles grow back, the nerves grow back over time.
So I'm not quite sure why that is. But certainly
I had one done back in about twenty twenty one,
and I had the last one done in twenty twenty three,

(01:39:12):
some eighteen months on comparing it done that sickond one
done and yeah, it's not a problem at all.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
Does it feel different from your from your own knees.

Speaker 4 (01:39:24):
Well, my owns were previously bone on bone. Yes, hell
of a difference.

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Does it feel different from your from your own knees
before they were bone on bone?

Speaker 4 (01:39:34):
That's hoo long ago to remember.

Speaker 2 (01:39:36):
Good answer, Michael, I love that because you can't compare those,
because you can't remember back, because you're remembering how painful
it was. Bone on bone, good on your mic, like
it like a lot eighteen past eleven. I agree with you, Marcus.
Here is my text from me today. Ainsley's comments about
mcivor's spot on he doesn't know anything about sailing and
ask the most inane questions, how does it feel to

(01:39:58):
lose this one? Dumb stuff like that. He's an embarrassment. Yeah.
I just think it's we've always been blessed with very
good yachting common Peter Lester, Pete Montgomery. They've always been
very very good. And mackay is doing his it's a
good broadcaster, but it just seems to kind of, I
don't know, he seems to he's kind of a bit

(01:40:20):
more on that sort of matey, matey redhead patois Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
here's that guy that's always going out road safety. Yeah yeah,
I forget, I forget, you know, it's always that sort
of matey, matey guy. Greg Murphy's the guys thinking of
because yeah, that's sort of you know, yeah, but you're
slightly different. I think where is Petemont commentary with both

(01:40:42):
very old Pete. Now I don't know how old Pete
would be have been in his seventies or eighties. Brian
Marcus welcome, Yeah, hi Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:40:51):
I just wanted to quick chat about the SpaceX and
catching the Brewster rocket.

Speaker 2 (01:40:55):
Yes, tell me what happened?

Speaker 21 (01:40:57):
Well, have you seen it on TV?

Speaker 2 (01:40:59):
I saw an image, but not a not a moving image.

Speaker 14 (01:41:03):
Right.

Speaker 21 (01:41:03):
One of the things is I just don't think may
give people the perspective because the actual booster rocket they
caught is twenty stories high, which is incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:41:15):
How they catch it, So it's.

Speaker 21 (01:41:19):
They fly the rocket up into space, and then they
drop off the booster rocket and it just comes back
to the Earth and it's doing thousands of miles an hour,
and they've got under the rocket jets on the bottom
slowing it down and then it just comes into controlled
coming down to be caught, and it's got a tower
with grabs around it, and it just comes down slowly

(01:41:41):
from going thousands of miles an hour and then it
just fits into it. And if you imagine then it's
hard to get the scale of it because you just
see it on TV as a small thing. But they're
actually catching something that's traveling a thousands of miles and
now that's twenty stories high. I think it's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:41:58):
So the rocket I'm watching, I'm watching the video. Now
the rocket takes off.

Speaker 21 (01:42:03):
Yep, and then it's got a booster. Like when they
had them going to the Moon, they had the set
and five boosters that fell away. They parachuted them away,
didn't re use them. But now what they're trying to
do is make everything reusable and make it be reusable
quickly so they can have lots of launchers. And that
the booster that's pulling away has got little rockets on it,

(01:42:25):
and it's ian thousands of miles an hour, and it
comes back to the Earth's surface that's controlled by the control,
you know, by the launch control, and it comes back
in little boosters and it comes back into the into
the I guess you call it a cradle or whatever
you call it, and it fits into that. But I
just think that the sheer.

Speaker 2 (01:42:44):
Size of watching it decends vertically long ways, which is
weird too, isn't that because you think they'd be a
really unstable thing to direct vertically.

Speaker 21 (01:42:54):
Yeah, well, it's got little rocket, the rocket, little flusters
inside it. I mean, the technology is just phenomenal. So
I don't know if you saw before that they were
landing it back on Earth, but to actually get it
back into this cradle, I mean had on TV they
had an astronaut and he just said, you know, congratulations
to spaces It's amazing. He just can't believe they were

(01:43:14):
able to do it. Technology is incredible. And I don't
know if you've seen that. They've also got the robots
that just released recently, and this is all part of
the plane to actually get mentor Mars and then you
can actually get robots to build the station before you
get the people there. So pretty cool stuff. And I
just said that they don't look a little bit more

(01:43:36):
better on TV because I think it's just phenomenal. The
guys are modern leaning over the.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
Why do you think said they don't talk about it
on TV?

Speaker 21 (01:43:45):
Because I don't think people get the perspective of it
of lending a you know, if.

Speaker 2 (01:43:49):
You think that most people are watching people are watching TV,
are they for a perspective?

Speaker 21 (01:43:54):
Oh, well, you watch the news something I stort think
a lot of people watching the news, Well do I
reckon a million people watch the news or nine hundred
thousand or something.

Speaker 9 (01:44:01):
I don't.

Speaker 21 (01:44:03):
Yeah, yeah, I just think it's I think technology and
advancement is really neat. And yeah, anyway, thanks, yeah, thank.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
You for alluding me that, Brian. I've enjoyed watching that video.
It's amazing how it comes down vertically. It's weird. That's
not what I thought it would be. Oh eight hundred
you know the rest. My name is Marcus Welcome. I
hope the Brits can win the Cup. They need some
luck with the weather and he's in its one enough times.
The Women's America's Cup was the best viewing. I agree.
I agree, Marcus. Can you ask how painful and knee

(01:44:38):
replacement is please? Someone said they were crying. Marcus had
my ankle joint replaced back in twenty ten. Unlike heps
and knees. I can told it can only be done once.
I understand. I'm the fifth person and you seem to
have had it done. Wow, thank you for an interesting conversation.

(01:45:00):
There we go. That's to the guy's text that didn't
like it. Fifth person to have it done. I had
a total hip replacement eighty nine. The other in ninety
nine had near replacement two double and seven the other
two double eight. I'll fall in a couple of times.
Lately you need help to get up. It's too painful
to roll over and kneel to get up. I live
alone and have an alarm for Saint John's to pick
me up and give me a full check. I'm not young.

(01:45:23):
Good evening, Joan. A's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 33 (01:45:26):
Hello, Marcus. Cliff Richard touring at the age of eighty
four next year. I have a friend of about fifty
seven years, our friendship, and she has always gone to
Cliff Richard and she now she used to be in
christ Church where I am, but now she's in Tearana,
but she will be going. And she just always thought
he was such a good performer and singer, and that's

(01:45:49):
one she'd go every time she's gone, every time he's
come to you to New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:45:54):
So wow, you see, because Joan, for me, he would
be the least slightly person i'd ever go and see.
There's nothing about him that I find compelling.

Speaker 33 (01:46:04):
No, because he's quite reserved, and that with some one
like Elvis Presley would really be having him singing great
songs and moving.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
If he was tearing, that would be something, wouldn't it,
But yeah.

Speaker 33 (01:46:14):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2 (01:46:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 33 (01:46:16):
Anyway, I don't want any I'm in the mid seventies.
I don't want any knees and hips done, specially knees.

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
But some people better than your hip. I think the
hip's really a real tricky one.

Speaker 33 (01:46:27):
No, no, No, the hips quite or usually you know successful, No,
people get on with that one. The knees the hardest.

Speaker 2 (01:46:35):
My cousin, well, i'd dispute that, but anyway.

Speaker 33 (01:46:39):
Oh, my cousin who's eighty four, about twenty years ago,
is taking her to Bedwood Hospital for her She had
some hips and she's had knees done. She said after
the knee operation, when you go for your exercises and
moving your leg under your thigh, she said, that was
the worst part. But you've got to keep moving, walking

(01:46:59):
and moving to get the knee going, because otherwise who
would seize up and wouldn't what it's supposed to do.
I suppose you're got to exercise, but you don't want
to ever do it though, do you?

Speaker 2 (01:47:10):
It does, say Joe, and I apologize it to say
that is a much simpler joint than the knee. And
the surgery match went straightforward.

Speaker 33 (01:47:17):
Yes, that's right, Yes, yep, okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
Fancy that. Well that's a big long thing that goes
into your femurs a hammered and I suppose it's probably
graphic to watch. Thanks Joan, Ralph Marcus welcome.

Speaker 35 (01:47:34):
Oh good, good, good, good evening, good evening.

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
Hostly.

Speaker 35 (01:47:39):
I can't spend for Richards. He's a snobby little twerp
and I never liked him much anyway, but it was
full of himself butting on to yeah, lady or somebody
bring up said before that they had an ankle replacement
and they were the fifth one in New Zealand. Yes,
not long ago. Well, I had one done fourteen years ago,

(01:48:02):
and the one doctor that did mine, who was the
second doctor in New Zealand even to do them. I
was number one hundred and ninety five fourteen years ago
with that doctor.

Speaker 13 (01:48:12):
So I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
That Ralph isn't as exciting that person. They've told them
there the fifth because imagine how how how special they'll
feel and how they'll look after it.

Speaker 35 (01:48:25):
Either could do yeah or that was stupid one of
the other. And I'm not being rude there, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:48:31):
Not, no, No, it was just that I wonder why
you said Cliff Richard was snobby because he's always hanging
at He's always hanging at wimbled, is that right, and
always sort of singing.

Speaker 35 (01:48:41):
Oh listen, I I originally I came from Howard and
there was a guy Huey Weer used to run the
buses all those big shows and that. And I remember
them telling you once that they were such uh rude,
rude to New Zealand as that you know, they thought
they were a bit cut above everybody else about to

(01:49:06):
Richard here. And I think I've probably held it on
for one hundred years because I'm because I'm eighteen now,
and uh yeah, it's just one of those things I've
always remembered. But because he was a guy here he
weare and he was a legend around Taranaki and all
around the country, all with his buses and that and

(01:49:27):
his I think his son George as does that run still?
And there was a big phone hang on.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
So we've formed our view about Cliff Richards from the
guy in horror that buses them around.

Speaker 35 (01:49:42):
Yeah, that's oh yeah, we like it.

Speaker 2 (01:49:47):
Where did he go to Harvard? Where would he have
been on there? I suppose did you Plymouth.

Speaker 35 (01:49:51):
No, no, no, they would have gone to Wellington from
Harbor to see his show.

Speaker 13 (01:49:55):
I would know.

Speaker 35 (01:49:57):
But anyway, that was just something something cropped up. When
I heard the other things, I thought, I would give
you a ring tonight. And I've had oh, knee operations
and things, but only only what do you call them
cartilage and that sort of stuff. But I did break
my back just oh not about a few months ago now,

(01:50:19):
and I had an operation on the previous year for
a compactor faith and then I had an impact fracture.
I was due to go to Australia to see my
son this year and I felt backwards onto it onto
a It was a it was a shape of a

(01:50:40):
chair and yeah, and I got over there and I
was good as gold. And I came back in a
wheelchair a week later. That I'm still getting slowly getting
better over that one too.

Speaker 2 (01:50:51):
But what is it any ankle?

Speaker 35 (01:50:55):
Oh ankle? I had a I rugged the entry early
early in my life when I was twenty and they
literally they did operation wang the nui and mean another
one in how or I mean eventually in parmist North
I had the ankle replacement and that was that was

(01:51:18):
really good. But oh it was painful. It was very
painful for a short while.

Speaker 2 (01:51:23):
Anyway, Well, nice talk please, you know thought five didn't
see any but nice to hear from you, Ralph, Thank you.
I'm just trying to work out which is the worst
of the Cliff Richard songs. I was gonna up with
the Cliffridged song I done, so they reckon that the
vote for the worst one was the Millennium Prayer Cliff Richard.
In fact, they reckon that's the worst number one of

(01:51:44):
all time, even worse than Mister Blobby, Mister Blobby and
the Teller Tubbies Teller Tubby say eh and Aqua Barbie Girl.
For those that don't know, I think it was nineteen
ninety nine New Year towards Christmas. He got the number
one single by doing the Lord's Prayer to the tune
of old Lang. Zine was called Millennium Prayer. A lot

(01:52:08):
of radio stations refused to play it. George Michael said
the publicy surrounding it was exploiting people's faith and called
the track vile and a henous piece of music. It
was pretty ropey. Well, that was the original mash up
doing one song to the other tune. I presume it doesn't.
I guess it was him kind of was it him

(01:52:30):
an active faith? I don't know because it's it's been
all about the record sales, hasn't he? But yeah, Nicketts,
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:52:39):
Hi Marcus. I've had a Oxford halfnee done for twenty
years and my orthopedic said, if you don't let your
knee get too bad, they put on what's called an
Oxford half knee and they last forever.

Speaker 2 (01:52:56):
Oxford halfnee.

Speaker 15 (01:52:58):
Yes, you can look at it on YouTube.

Speaker 4 (01:53:00):
Oh I will.

Speaker 15 (01:53:03):
It's very it's very like I've got full or I
can touch my dumb with with my heel and I
can kneel down on my knees all the time.

Speaker 2 (01:53:15):
Amazing looking bit of kept the old half in the
inn it when you look at the picture of it,
that isn't.

Speaker 15 (01:53:21):
Unbelievable and it's less invasive.

Speaker 2 (01:53:26):
I'm liking a look at that.

Speaker 15 (01:53:28):
But the cheers. Don't let your knee get too bad.

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Yeah, okay, now mine's fine, but thank you. Nick Hell
and Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:53:37):
Oh hi.

Speaker 19 (01:53:38):
I used to listen to you and Stevens and radio
years ago and he suggested fault under the tongue whether
it's him lay ordinary soult if you get cramp in
your your calfs or your feet, and it worked a treat.
And the other thing, an old married man rung up
one night and he said, put a cork in your bed,
and I said, oh, yeah, that sounds interesting, but a

(01:54:00):
flat cork, like you know, like a dinner mat or
a wine bottled cork. Anyway, I did that, and I
even put the cork and the sock because I used
to get it bad. And it absolutely worked. So I
don't know who he was, but I even went to
hospital was mccork once, and I think they thought I'd
lost the plot, but it worked.

Speaker 14 (01:54:18):
And the sports.

Speaker 31 (01:54:20):
As a child, I played a lot of athletics and
also swimming, but he had to practice a lot. I'm
not sure if I enjoyed it or not when I'm
looking back now, but I did enjoy a small ball
rifle shooting. I did that with my dad, and I
did it with a college team, and I quite enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (01:54:36):
Actually, nice to hear from you, Helen, Thank you so much. Genie.
Is it Jenny's or Genessee, It's Jennie, Oh Deenise, It's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:54:44):
Welcome, hi Yah, Hi, Mac.

Speaker 36 (01:54:47):
Look, I just thrang about the America's cap. I've been
watching it avidly, but I love all sports, so I
watched quite a lot of sport. But what really touched
me and brought a tear to my eye was they
didn't say it very widely on TV, but they had

(01:55:08):
when the boat went out, they had the walker and I.

Speaker 2 (01:55:14):
Saw that that was moving. I saw that that was great.

Speaker 36 (01:55:17):
It was quite moving. And seeing the cultural party you know,
on the water as well. But I just thought that
was quite marvelous.

Speaker 31 (01:55:27):
Really.

Speaker 2 (01:55:28):
Of course it's a terrible time for New Zealands. There's
not that much generous because it is in the middle
of the night.

Speaker 36 (01:55:33):
Yeah, I know, I know that it's wonderful. They're doing
so well.

Speaker 2 (01:55:38):
Well, we set the rules. Of course they're doing well.
They set the rules. Jenney's that's the thing if you're
the if you're the holder, you choose the rules.

Speaker 14 (01:55:47):
Yeah, well, you know.

Speaker 36 (01:55:51):
It's still the best. You know, they're doing. They're doing really,
really well. So I'm pleased with them, and I just
thought of bring out and say.

Speaker 2 (01:56:02):
It was great loving to hear Frey with genis. You know,
I'm not going to get into the great patriotism for
the America's Cup because I don't think it's a fair sport.
But I will watch it. I've left the best for
Lafe Kushler. Three questions to you, Kushler. Have you seen
Cliff Richard?

Speaker 23 (01:56:17):
Not before, but I wouldn't mind seeing him next year.

Speaker 2 (01:56:20):
I told, will you buy it?

Speaker 22 (01:56:21):
Will you?

Speaker 2 (01:56:22):
Kushler? Will you buy a ticket?

Speaker 23 (01:56:24):
Well, it depends on how much they cost.

Speaker 13 (01:56:27):
You know how much?

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
Okay, twotal dollars? Would you buy a ticket?

Speaker 23 (01:56:31):
Well, I don't know, Actually I don't really know.

Speaker 2 (01:56:35):
You said, it'll depeed on how much? What about a
hundred dollars?

Speaker 23 (01:56:39):
One hundred dollars? Maybe I go for a hundred dollars,
but not for anything more than that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:43):
I don't think you have you got your own knees.

Speaker 23 (01:56:47):
I've got my knees. If I have had injuries to
my knees, of course, but I injured both niece. But
I did go in for surgery for one of them,
and then they didn't remove the cottridge. But it was
quite painful they had. They stitched me up, and they
bandaged all my and I had couldn't even get it weted.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Also, to be beautiful, you let mommy asking.

Speaker 23 (01:57:06):
I banged down on them one time on the sofa
and when I was dancing, and then another time I
did it by the by the fireplace, you know, and
I bang, I sort of foul.

Speaker 2 (01:57:15):
You know, how could you do it by the fireplace?
What were you doing? Well?

Speaker 23 (01:57:20):
I was just sort of going to do something and
I sort of lost balance and I hit both my knees.
Actually it's a miracle that I'm not too bad on
them now. But I learned physiotherapy and and I went
to a osteopath. I went to all sorts of places
to try to help me get better, which in the

(01:57:40):
end it wasn't too bad.

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
Nice to hear. Nice to hear from you, Kushler, You
ever got any plan for the rest of the night.

Speaker 23 (01:57:47):
I was just going to get go and brush my teeth,
I think, and the beard shortly, and maybe listened to
you the other the host, you know, Roman for a
ree while.

Speaker 2 (01:57:57):
You know, so you're flossing too, christ You're nice to
