Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
That's it knit down and Knit's down. White Beating season
is over and on such a good one. By all accounts.
People said it was dire I think certainly for South
and most of the rivers are up and flood. Yeah,
that's right. And the rated money the waters wasn't good
at all. But anyway, there's always next year. Greetings, Welcome,
My name is Marcus Hador twelve o'clock. Welcome to the
end of October, which indicates the year as five sixths gone.

(00:41):
Why don't we have ten months? It will be easier.
Tonight is Halloween also, Yeah, seen to be a few
kids going around Bluff. Look, I don't I make no
judgem about Halloween. However, I know it is of interest
to some people. If you've got reports where you are
about what is happening, let me know. There might be

(01:01):
something you're concerned about. There might be something happening, there
might be children knocking your door. Let me know we
can people or do something. There is comfort here. It's
one of those kind of nights you never quite know
where it's going to go. From a news point of view,
because sometimes young people gather and summer's kicking on Thursday.

(01:22):
I reckon there might be some news to do with
Halloween tonight. I think in years gone past there was
a place on the north shore of Auckland that went
huge on Halloween, with traffic jams and stuff like that.
I don't know if that's happening this year, but if
it has, let us know. I feel like it was
tor Bay. It might have been been Brown's, but it

(01:45):
might have been long Babe. It was big. It was big.
People went from near and wide. Unless I've got that
confused with the Christmas lights, I don't think I have.
I think it was a Halloween thing. It feels to
me that the north Shore is Halloween Central New Families.
I suppose it's not New Families anymore. That's the way
it feels to you. Anyway, If you've got a Halloween report,

(02:06):
let us know how that is for you. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty, Teddy nine two nine two de text
Hittle twelve, all sorts of stuff. I want to talk
about about, four or five topics we've got to cover tonight.
I think it's gonna be one of those breaking news
nights also as well. Feels free, breaky. Sometimes I sense
what's going to happen. It feels like it's going to

(02:28):
be a big news night. Just putting that out there.
Guy Fawks too, not far away. The fire weeks go
for sale on Sunday. Guy Fawkes is on Tuesday. It's
also d Wali, which I keep saying, I'm entirely sure
of what happens on d Wally, but I'm sure someone
sometimes will let us know about that anyway. Getting touch

(02:48):
ten past eight, if you've got to report about Halloween,
are there's screeds of people? Were you ill? Let us know?
What's the weather like? Is it a big deal? That's
kind of mainly what I want to focus on tonight.
If people are doing it, and what's it like? We
you are tonight, it's the big night for it. Driving
in from Bluffy, were people there, Shane, what did you
want to say? Because you're new?

Speaker 4 (03:09):
No, We've we've just found a spacey a bug. It's
a break well they call a break ink. It's not
known here in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Okay, the beginning. Who's we.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
The University of Otago quite huge in Lincoln, Okay, Yeah,
it's a break well, but they're not too sure whether
it's a break.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Do you work at the University of Otago and Lincoln, Patam,
Do you work there?

Speaker 4 (03:44):
No nose, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
No, I don't know if I will. But tell me,
tell me where it starts the story.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Okay, right, yesterday morning, I got up and I was
just sitting in my arm here and I saw this
big break bag flag and throw the hallway right, so
I got up. We got a kid fly spray. I
sprayed it. I thought, goodness, gracious me, it's huge. I mean,

(04:14):
this thing had four wings on it, and it looked
like an ant on the body of an end. You know,
you know what ants looked like? Yeah, okay, right, oh okay,
then god, Now this thing had a huge body on
it and a big head. This thing had the most
at least looking legs on it, like something like had

(04:36):
a fly fight. But anyway, cut along, toy short please.
I took it down to it's one day smoke with
fly sprey. I've grabbed them the putting the container and
then took it off too, and send the foot off
to the Kenemy University of Lincoln and quite huge. Now
they've got it in their hands now, and I'm just

(04:59):
wanting to the results to come back through the not
where the heat the species came from, whether it's a
New Zealand thing, orders that come from overseas, because you

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I would have asked for the pen and paper forty
four and a half seconds to get the pen and paper,
fair enough. The open don't have pen and papers. Rachel Marcus, welcome, Welcome,
market five. Where are you Rachel letting you know?

Speaker 11 (07:33):
It's the circle and Foma Braa manly that Halloween.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Was it's what it's the circle.

Speaker 11 (07:40):
It's called the Circle, and really that's where the halloweens.
There's cues today because down the streets and it's massive. Yeah,
they even had one year late, like the ten fake
bodies with real meat.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh, that's that sounds ten fake bodies with real meat.

Speaker 11 (08:01):
Well, you know they were kind of the ten Lake
skeletons with meat and and stuff like roath supers and
crowds and crowds of people, like, we have to donate
lollies to them so that they've got enough to go out.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
How many? What the circle? We're about? Which suburb big
man Did you say big Manly?

Speaker 11 (08:24):
Well it's Manly. It's not big Manly. It's just called Manly.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Hang on, in my map it seys big Manly.

Speaker 11 (08:30):
Okay, okay, well you can call it big Manly.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
I feel silly calling it big Manly.

Speaker 11 (08:36):
Big Manly Beach. Yeah, anyway, but that's fine. It's mainly
from Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Wow, is the road called the circle?

Speaker 11 (08:44):
Yeah, it's it's kind of a circular.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
It's like a loss. It's shaped like a lozenge.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (08:52):
Yeah, and you go around it. Yeah, and you can
go they through the whole streets and we donate lollies
for about a month before at all the shopping centers
they've got enough to go out.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I want you to tell us yesterday because it's interesting
because on Google it's called the service. See I am,
But clearly it's the Circle, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (09:10):
Yes, that's what it's called.

Speaker 10 (09:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Well, so who's they? Is it the toast masters or something?

Speaker 12 (09:16):
What do you mean?

Speaker 7 (09:17):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Who organizes it?

Speaker 11 (09:19):
Just the street of residence.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Brilliant, What a great street to live on.

Speaker 11 (09:24):
Yeah, I think so it wasn't as busy this year
with the people that were doing it in the streets.
That's still it's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Were people saying that's the economy.

Speaker 11 (09:36):
Maybe, and I think some people are just is too much.
There is too many crowds, like it's people on but
they do fundraising and stuff on the street like stage
these people, you know, like there's lots of stuff going on.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Because I'm saying they'd probably be on one hundred houses
both sides of the road. Would everyone get involved most
people or some people?

Speaker 11 (09:56):
It used to be everyone. That's not so much this year.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
Yeah wow, Yeah who is it?

Speaker 11 (10:03):
Like traffic jams to get there today and we only
live the road so it was crooked at a walk.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well, there's always traffic jams getting in and out of there,
isn't There's a bit of a bottleneck, a literally a bottleneck.

Speaker 11 (10:13):
It's not as bad as what it used to be. Yeah,
we've been lived up on the coast for a while,
but yeah, it's quite it's quite a cool atmosphere. I mean,
it's just takes away from the other streets that's where
everyone wants to go.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Oh, I want to go there. That sounds fair. It's
such such a neat looking street. That's like that loz
and shape.

Speaker 7 (10:30):
Yeah, and it's a.

Speaker 11 (10:31):
Great family atmosphere, you know, like roll call.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yeah, I thought there was one. I thought there was
one tour bay as well. We'll fact check that, Rachel.
But it's delightful to talk to you. There we go
the circling fung Arpa. That's where it's going off as
far as Halloween goes. It's one of the country's most
interesting looking streets. The circle. Not as interesting that Seat
Street on the north through of Auckland that's shaped like

(10:56):
a hammer and sickle. Oh, yes, there is one. Get
in touch. What bug do you think it was? I
like to shine and see you discover a new type
of bug. Marcus. Just doing my deliveries around Tuckapuna through
a tour bay. There's thousands of people out walking doing Halloween. Cheers,

(11:17):
Gav Marcus. I love that bug call from Cheyenne. Classic
talkback well handled. Well, you see less of people have
folded off into the bug man road you want to
call rude. Cheyenne may have found a peudity moth. Yeah,
that's what I thought. They have really large and are
hatching and mating this time of the year. I'd like

(11:38):
to talk about poudity moths. I think they have no mouths.
They're born, they mate, then they die.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Do you know that?

Speaker 3 (11:49):
And they've got targets on them. Yes, they're amazing looking.
I think they have no mouth Here we go, thank
you Google. Pooity moths cannot eatcause they have no mouths,
and they live for only forty eight hours. During this

(12:10):
short time, the male and females find each other and mate,
stay in the cycle all over again. That is, unless
they've been attacked by fly spray. I thought that was
sad of her call that she reached for the fly
spray so quickly. What does that say about the inquiring mind? Killed?
Then asked questions later? And who is a cell phone

(12:33):
with no texting capability? How many creatures can you name
without mouths? Not many gorgeous looking things. I'll describe one
for you because they are heitting this time of the year.
They look like they've been designed by an art department.

(12:54):
Beautiful looking things. We are talking Halloween and the pudity moths.
Here's something I reckon. Here's something I felt desperate to
ask you today, and I've got no reason why, but
I'm gonna say it. What do you reckon about when
your pet dies and you get a tattoo of that pet.

(13:18):
I'm seeing a lot of people advertising dead pit tattoo services,
and I'm thinking, if I had a pet that died
and got it tattooed, that tattoo would either remind me
of my dead pet or it would remind me of

(13:41):
the poor decision I made to get my pet as
a tattoo. And I reckon it would be a really
fine line because what you need to do is take
a photo of your pet when it was alive, find
a tattoo part of that's good, show the tatto pilot
part of the pit, and then it's in their hands.

(14:03):
Oh goodness, it is a polkinghorn drive and fung a
proa goodness, no comment, So what do you reckon would
have happened? You reckon most people would be disappointed with
the tattoo of their pet or excited, because I reckon,
the chance of it looking exactly right would be really slim, because,

(14:23):
for a start, if you've got a photo of a pet,
when you're looking at that photo. You're imbuing it with
its personality because you know what it's like. But when
it's actually then tattooed on your arm and that could
be a rounded shape, yeah, I reckon it's a really
risky thing to do. I thought tonight would find someone

(14:46):
that has got their pet tattooed on their arm and
how that worked out for them. I reckon to be
touch and go. In fact, I'm re going to be touched.
You'll go. Let me know about that. I've got no
idea what you're going to say, but i'd be curious.
But we I'm fixated with. That was literally advertisement for

(15:08):
someone for a tattoo parlor featuring someone that's very good
with pets. I'm thinking, yeah, well, and I presume it
was mainly cats, it wasn't dogs. Lots of fuss Auckland

(15:29):
topic related again, lots of fuss last night for the concert,
Travis Scott, you would hear it in Burke and hear
the louder, the loudest concert ever. Well, I suppose for
anything to get sex concert, Eden Parky, you may as
well make them loud ones. Any volunteers, anyone got their
pit tattooed, love to hear from you only because I wanted.

(15:55):
It's something I'd never do. But I reckon, I know
our audience. I reckon, there's people out there. I mean,
tattoos are quite acceptable now. I imagine more people have
got tattoos than haven't, And well, I reckon I might
get that pet tattooed. Great way to remember it, because
funny enough, that's one of the only things that's one

(16:16):
of the most telling things about Facebook for me is
how much people grieve when their pets die. Every second
post on Facebook, because old goodness, I don't know how
I can go on such and such as died, and
then you've got to go back through their feed to
work out if they're talking about their father or their cat,

(16:38):
if their names are smudge. But when they're named to
things like mister Tom and stuff, it gets a bit complicated.
And I've spent many a time posting posts saying sorry
to hear about your loss, and then realizing it probably
would have posted slightly different if I realized it was
a cat Marcus. Congratulations to the Dodgers and winning their
eighth World Series. The Yankees were in a position of

(16:59):
win Game five today, but the capitulation unfolded sealed their
fate in New York have now at a fifteen year
drought since laughter lifting the Commission's which seems like a
lifetime and maybe Halloween tonight. But the biggest horror show
is epic milk down of the storied franchise and their
failure welding against the Ala Dodgers. At least they've got
to return to their recent one point two billion dollar Spendingspree.

(17:20):
I watched all of that until this eighth innings. If
I was the Yankees picture, I'd be furious. I was
pleased that Judge his poor form run of poor form stopped.
He got a home run, but then dropped an easy catch.
Heartbreaking to watch. I like the way he looks, Aaron Judge.
I like the way he carries himself was heartbreaking. The

(17:45):
sister in law of a guy I worked with had
wo dad horse tadded across her back. I saw a photo.
The horse was huge. It was horrific. We're run, good evening, Jamie,
it's Marcus. Welcome, Oh Marcus, how are you good? Thank you? Jamie?

Speaker 13 (18:03):
Good good. So I don't have tattoos of a dog
of an animal, right, but I will say that, like
thirteen years ago, my kids had dogs and they decided
that they didn't want them no more, so I tooked
them on thirteen years ago, right yeah, And now I'm
waiting for my last dog to pass away so I

(18:24):
can move on with my life.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Wow.

Speaker 13 (18:27):
Yeah, Wow.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
It's a sea anchor. It's a good or a bad thing.
You wouldn't have, You wouldn't change it for the world.

Speaker 13 (18:34):
Well, I wouldn't put him down unless he was sick,
right yeah. But it's like it's like overtaking. I know that,
I know that I could never I could never put
an animal down because because I need to go move on.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
No, but it is a long commitment when your kids
get dogs and they get you to look after them,
because you've got to take them, really, don't you.

Speaker 13 (18:58):
Well I had to. I had no choice because my
son moved. My son moved to person. His whole his
whole demeanor was I'm going to put them down because
I can't look after them. And the more I'm like, no,
you can't do that, We'll bring them here, bring me say,
for thirteen years, I've looked after this that actually two dogs,
but one passed away. She was pretty old. But this

(19:19):
one's about and dog years eighty five? Wow, I've got yes,
but I'm not going to put them down. But he's
still running around happy airs.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
But does your son come back and spend time with
them at all? Does your son come back from Perth?

Speaker 6 (19:35):
No?

Speaker 13 (19:36):
No, I'm stuck with the dog brilliant?

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Okay, Jamie, how much is that in the human years
eighty five and dog years? Your times about the eight hundred?
Were your times about ten? Desperate to find out from
someone who's actually got a tattoo of their pet and
how that worked out for them? It all depends on
the likeness. And let's face it, I mean you often
you see pictures paintings of people's pets, and what's the
best way to remember a pet after they've died. I

(20:03):
know some people can get an image of the pet
made from the ashes. I mean that strikes me as risky.
Some people get a framed picture. I just wonder how
you've acknowledged and remembered that. Get in touch Marcus till

(20:25):
twelve and Halloween reports from where it was? What's happening
where you are? Has anyone? Marcus? My friend has her
horse's head on her arm. Fantastic? I wouldn't put the
horse's head on the arm. Oh yeah, I suppose it
could look quite quite regal when a cat on the

(20:46):
arm would be good. So I want want to tell
me the do's and don'ts of cat the doo's and
don'ts of pet tattoos. I don't know why I'm fixated
about this tonight. I feel like getting fixated about something.
Because you wouldn't get your kids tattooed on you, would you?

(21:13):
And I guess the thing about getting your pet tattooed
on you, It's not like going to go bad like
a marriage. Am I right about that? Like, well, maybe
you've got your pet tattooed on you when you're still living.
Has that a good thing to do? Have I missed
my market with pets? Is this a topic?

Speaker 11 (21:39):
I heard?

Speaker 3 (21:39):
There were twenty one noise complaints from last night's Constant
Eden Park all together?

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Is that all?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
That's not many? They should up it from six to twelve?
I reckon Marcus best Halloween and a kid was in
the nineties. We took our spud guns around, loading on
the eggs and egged houses. We got the wizards of
christ Church's house. He chased us down the street. What

(22:08):
you have got to watch out for this year is
Halloween drones. A Halloween drone has got red eyes and
a tail makes it terrifying noise, and it drops glowing
the dark spiders from a six story height. How terrifying
does that sound. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't

(22:28):
get someone ringing up upset tonight that they've had that. Yep, yep, yep. Shelley,
it's Marcus. Welcome and good evening. Hi, Hi, Shelley. I'm
good to say, and thank you. Thank you for asking.

Speaker 14 (22:44):
It's good.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
I was listening to you talking about pets tattooed on
yourself or what people do with them, cremate them or
have them painted with my dog, I dug them up.

(23:06):
I've got his skull.

Speaker 15 (23:08):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
It was worth me asking the question because I think
people would be interested in this.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
I wanted to actually dig his whole body up, and
I was going to put him back together like how
they do with a dinosaur, like.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
Far lap Yep yep, except I.

Speaker 7 (23:30):
Was living by a river at the time and the
water rats had got in and run away with parts
of his bone. So I just kept his skull. And
this the rest in peace. So I'll carry him, my
big boy's head round forevermore or his skull?

Speaker 3 (23:52):
What a great story. A couple of questions Shelley from me. Yeah,
were you confident that you could reassemble the skeleton?

Speaker 12 (24:02):
Ah?

Speaker 7 (24:03):
I was going to give it a good go, Yeah,
I think so.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Would you just go from with wires?

Speaker 6 (24:10):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (24:11):
And I just thought you would start at the head question.

Speaker 8 (24:17):
Down the year.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
Spine, so that's all those ones, you know, it would
be just in the ribs. It would be just like
a jigsaw puzzle.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
I And how how long did you think you'd give
it until the how do I say this delicately? Until
the skull was just skull?

Speaker 7 (24:36):
Actually, yeah, don't. I don't mind that at all. It's
Halloween night, so we must embrace this sort of thing.
I think it was a very year.

Speaker 14 (24:50):
It was not long at all for.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
But did you did you check as it? Did you
check from time to time?

Speaker 15 (24:57):
No?

Speaker 16 (24:57):
No, not at all.

Speaker 7 (24:59):
I actually had to move and I thought, I'm not
leaving him behind.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
And what breed of dog was it, Shelley, of all things?

Speaker 7 (25:11):
He was a pitball ridgeback and he was huge, and
I actually rescued him because that my neighbors had at
the time, had ill treated him and I fed him
up and he was just beautiful. Took him to the

(25:33):
s p c A and they turned around and told
me they were going to have him put down because
he was pitball. It was one of the first times
he had seen other dogs, and all his head prinkled
up because I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
But back to that, what's the do's the dog's name?

Speaker 7 (25:59):
His name was horse?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Of course it was so once you dug horse up? Right?

Speaker 14 (26:06):
Yet?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Did he still have a jaw?

Speaker 7 (26:10):
Yes, yes, I've got Yes, it's just separate having net
put Yes, I've had to try and use something to
sit the top of his skull to the jaw. I
tried a bit of like a petty type stuff because

(26:31):
I've just got him sort of sitting in a I've
just got to create a nice little box or something
for him to go in.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
How long did you dig a horse up.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
To?

Speaker 7 (26:48):
Eighteen?

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Okay, twenty eighteen, we call that twenty eighteen.

Speaker 7 (26:52):
Yes, and another one many many moons ago before. This
one's a bit different.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
At hang on, don't go anywhere, don't don't leave Shelley.
It's just meig in Shelley so have you done it
before with another dog?

Speaker 7 (27:12):
I didn't do that, but I have got another one,
and I've got my pen and paper here because I'll
send you a photo, but I have to look for them,
so it may not be tonight.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Okay, So have you got did someone give you a
dog skull?

Speaker 4 (27:33):
No?

Speaker 7 (27:34):
So I dug horse up and he got the name
horse because he was so starved. He was all feet
neighballs and when you come running, it sounded like this
horse pounding after you. But I used to have brooded

(27:55):
dobements and my girl had thirteen in unlucky number thirteen.
It wasn't born in its bag.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
In the amiotic sec Yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 7 (28:14):
Very year, very interesting thing to sort of witness. And
the vet called ben round and they give it like
a little drop to put it to sleep, and I.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Thought it was it was it was it was still born.

Speaker 17 (28:33):
I died, it would have.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
Died, yes, they put They just give it a drip
to put it quicker. It didn't charge me for it
because the vet was fascinated that this dog had had
thirteen puppies.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, so did you keep that?

Speaker 17 (28:53):
I did?

Speaker 7 (28:54):
I preserved it of mummy fried it.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Wow, and.

Speaker 7 (29:02):
It took. I just dropped it in the jar.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Rob.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
I'm not a old person. But will people be all
right listening to this? All this upset people? Do you think?

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (29:10):
I hope, so, I hope they're all right?

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Pretty you love them? You've got a jar.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
Now, it's all the alcohol evaporated and it's coming out
mummy side and I got it's like it's sitting inside
an old clock. I pulled the inside of the outset.
It's in a beautiful round and I I love them

(29:47):
so much, I just didn't want to get through them.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Did you did you keep it? And the twelve dibomen survived?

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (29:54):
Yes, they all went off to homes and everything, and
their mum decided to have another.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Well did you give the did you give the did
you give the stillborn one a name?

Speaker 5 (30:11):
No?

Speaker 7 (30:12):
That's the only thing I didn't do.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
In favor of that, okay. And so with the with
horses scale with horses skull? Is it just on a shelf.

Speaker 7 (30:24):
At the moment because I've been moving. Then I've got
them safely putting a box so you wouldn't get broken.
Now that's the only thing, the bottom part of the draw,
in the very middle that must have been like a membrane.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Okay, it's like gristle.

Speaker 7 (30:46):
Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. And so just
why we would it be the ear? We would have
had to join the bottom of the jaw in the
very middle. But so I've got my pen and paper
because I'm missed producer.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
But just as a serious of it, right, does that
help you remember the dog having that piece of it
there with you? It does, So you're glad you think
it was a good thing to do.

Speaker 7 (31:18):
Yes, for myself, everyone's different.

Speaker 15 (31:24):
So you do you.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's what we say in this business. Shelly, you do you,
and clearly you're doing you because I've never spoken anyone.
I've never had a conversation like this before.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
And being Halloween, one thing I did do I have
got a human skull, not a real one, chlastic even
money box. Ye Halloween. I tell the tivties that it
was my granddad.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I just don't show the kids the other thing. Just
don't show the kids the other things you got in
the house. That'll be my advice to you. You have
the police coming around, I'll put you back to head
office now, which we can do with live radio. But
warning on the podcast, the potty, So just so you know,
so you're not gonna get Trapp again on the podcast.
Good evening, Kylie, it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (32:10):
Welcome Marcus.

Speaker 7 (32:12):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Thank you, Kylie.

Speaker 10 (32:14):
That was a very interesting chat for Shelley.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yeah, well she was interesting me. I mean that's what
you just said. But I'm just trying to think what else. Yes,
well she seemed to be very hon I mean, I
mean she seemed to be very believable.

Speaker 10 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, definitely intrigued and free geek. But yes, it's
a good topic on Halloween, I guess, yeah, yeah, And
I know.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
I mean it's funny with pets because you couldn't do
that with human remains. It'd be laws against that. But
I suppose pets is different, isn't it.

Speaker 14 (32:44):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (32:44):
I wonder if every every childhood home has like a
pet semetry like we our childhood home does, But I
wouldn't want to go digging, Carlie.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
It reminds me of why this topic is important to me,
because it's really hard for people that rent when their
pets die because they can't bury them because then they
leave that house and there's not really any public places
to do it. So it becomes very difficult for them.

Speaker 10 (33:11):
That's a good point. And the other alternative is cremation,
but that's that's quite expensive. Who said it recently for
my little doggie, and it wasn't cheap. I mean, it's
a nice memorial to have. But yes, that's actually a
good point.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
Especially if you just had VET, because often the time
for pre death care by the VET is the most
expensive time as well, so you go through that. Unfortunately
pick can't be saved, and then the bill for the cremation.
It's a lot, isn't it.

Speaker 10 (33:43):
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, I lost my Alime, she was fourteen
this week of July. And my daughter lost her fourteen
year old cat the week before, so she lost her
cat Morris on the monday. I lost my Elme on
the friday, and I'm quite surprised how hard it was.
They really do sneak into our hearts.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
I ran to tell you what thing I did.

Speaker 10 (34:07):
From that grief which has kind of helped me with
the grieving. Yeah, I was going to kind of sleep
the night all of my pastor. I was crying my
eyes at going to sleep. And I am a children's
book author and in my in my mind and my
heart I wrote a children's book about petloss, and it

(34:27):
took me a couple of months to actually put it
down and write a storyboard for it for my illustrator.
But yeah, but I think it was by the end
of August. I wrote it down one day, I got
it all out, wrote it crying my eyes out, sent
it to the illustrator, and then August September. By the
end of September, the illustrator had sent their corresponding pictures back.

(34:49):
And just last week I was able to publish my
children's book about petloss, called Alimee The Show Puppy Crosses
the Rainbow Bridge.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
What a beautiful title.

Speaker 10 (35:00):
She was a show puppy and the only reason I
got here is because her ere her left ears started
to flop down and they're marked on that. When she
was nine months old, I was able to adopt her
and they couldn't continue her being a show puppy because
of that flour which was my favorite thing about her,
because when I looked at her over the fourteen years
that I had her, I said, I'm so grateful for

(35:23):
that little ear that wouldn't stick up through a floppy,
you know, And I'm thankful for that ear because it
allowed me to have a dog who was faithful and
funny and cute and loving and kind and the best
companion for fourteen years.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
And what the book today?

Speaker 10 (35:40):
With the book again, Kylie, the book's called Alime the
show Puppy Crosses the Rainbow Bridge. It's on Amazon now
and it's on my website, and you're actually getting You're
the first to know. I haven't told anyone in my
wider circle except for those who I've involved.

Speaker 8 (35:55):
In the book.

Speaker 10 (35:56):
Wow, it's such a beautiful topic. When I turned on
the radio, I was like, oh, well talking about get Lost,
and my daughter's Kat Morris is featuring in it. And
two of my good friends they had beloved pets that
had passed away, and I just incorporated them into the
book and I'm about to send them assigned assigned illustration

(36:17):
of the of their their character. So it's been a
beautiful journey, but it's been incredibly hard to lose my companion,
I must say.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
And the rainbow the rainbow bridges bridge is a common term,
is it it is?

Speaker 10 (36:30):
Yeah, that's what we kind of say instead of, you know,
we could say our dog had passed away. But for children,
it's crossing. It's nice to say they crossed the rainbow bridge.
And then my book, I just just explained that that
doggies get sick and when they get sick, that's where
they go.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Fantastic. I'll give that book a promotion. Callie. Thank you
so much for coming. Never heard the rainbow bridge. That's
the thing. That's a thing. It's even on Wikipedia. The
rainbow bridges are metaw where animals wait for the humans
to join them. David's Marcus, good evening and welcome.

Speaker 9 (37:01):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 14 (37:04):
I heard a couple of just an order do you
for people who are losing their pets. We had a
guy and we're just down the road from where we went,
and he had a black Labrador called Betty. And when
Betty passed away, they quite a bit of fur offer
and I tied it into a trout fly, made a
big pattern of a trout flight, and then we mounted
it in a picture frame and across the top was

(37:26):
the was the words that we named the fly Betty's Burglar,
in honor of Betty. And underneath the fly we had
in memory of Betty.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (37:37):
And so they've got this, they've got the trout fly
which we just made up with nice colors and things
like that, bright colors, and they've got it in a
nice picture frame and it's on the wall and it's
made out of Betty's fur.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
And was Betty's owner Keen Fisherman?

Speaker 14 (37:55):
No, not really, but just appreciated that. I've got another people,
some friends of mine who've got a new Foundland called Ted,
and we did one for him and called rip Ted Stickler.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
So you do you do trout flies from the fur
of dogs that have gone to the rainbow bridge?

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Hm?

Speaker 15 (38:17):
Wow?

Speaker 14 (38:18):
Just tie up a really nice pattern and and and
put it in, put it in a picture frame with
some nice words about it, and the people can hand
it on the wall.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Do you provide that as a commercial service?

Speaker 4 (38:30):
No?

Speaker 14 (38:30):
No, no thinks like that.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Well, I think because people to be right into it.
I'm into it. And I haven't got a dog Briant.

Speaker 14 (38:37):
Because he wants to get hold of me. They can
get hold of me through Facebook if they want to.
So if somebody's one of your listeners as listeners, and
I'm sure my one of my fly time mates and
I would come up with something to help them if
that helps them in their grief and remember their dog.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
It's a huge business opportunity. I don't know what you
call it, not Dave's dog flies, every something like the
flies of remembrance, or it's an extraord an extraordinary of radio.
I've been to all sorts of places in that hour horror,

(39:13):
unbelievable goodness, the children's book, The Rainbow Bridge, the Dogs,
the Doberman one of thirteen, and then the putting of
the doveman in the clock, which is a metaphor for
the passing of time, although that doveman had no time
without the amniotic sack. I haven't received the picture of

(39:39):
the dog clock yet. It's not a dog clock, but
eish I might have got a picture of it. I've
got a lot of pictures of tattoos, ways to honor
the memories and legacies of your pet. I asked about

(40:01):
pet tattoos, whether that was the road to rule or
not the road to ruin, but whether in fact there's
a risky thing to do because you know your pit
so well, it's going to be hard for the tedtoos
to catch capture the essence of the pit. Then we've
had all sorts of other suggestions from people that have

(40:22):
come up with ways to remember the particularly one woman's
written a book about it. Lam the show Puppy Crosses
the Rainbow Bridge. What's she going about? The air had
dropped head. I didn't. I was paranoid. Is going to
run at times up there? Anyway? I think the dog
had a funny sharky Marcus Welcome good things Sharky.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
So.

Speaker 18 (40:46):
I had a book My first ball go.

Speaker 9 (40:50):
Keny Louie. He he was Chienne years old when he passed.
And on my left, torso, my whole list Torso, I
have a full size pedals.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Keep on.

Speaker 9 (41:08):
Because he was he was my first, and he was
my he was my baby. He went everywhere with me
and I take him in my dag and he'd sit
in the passenger seat and people would love it. So
he was he was our baby Louis.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (41:27):
But we do have the other two, Teddy and insane.
You'll see on my face on my YouTube channel anyway,
they're they're normally on the YouTube channel.

Speaker 12 (41:38):
But did you.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Did you say you take them in your jag? Is
that what you said the jag?

Speaker 9 (41:47):
Yeah, I used to take Louis in the jag. On
my YouTube channel, there's the picture of me and my
jam at the beginning doing a thing at the drag racing.
So I used to take Louis with me everywhere in
the jag That was alf mine. Instant thing is a
two on your arm of him with the rainbow.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Oh so she's up with the rainbow bridge.

Speaker 9 (42:14):
Yep, she's got the rainbow above him on her forum
and a smaller picture of him on your arm rainbow.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Shaky. I've got some questions, right, yes, sure? Did you
take a lot of photos? What's a dog called.

Speaker 19 (42:34):
Louis?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Did you take a lot of photos of Louis?

Speaker 9 (42:38):
I had lots of photos of Louis, like from day
one Louis. Louis wasn't he wasn't a dog.

Speaker 14 (42:45):
He was he was.

Speaker 9 (42:48):
He was a child to me, he to us, he
was the baby boy.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
So, so when you went to the teartooists, did you
go looking for a tattooist that specialized in dogs.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
No.

Speaker 9 (43:04):
We we were in Ali and my wife's cousin's husband
is aist death and so we had already sent him
a photo of what I wanted done. Uh, And when
we went over there, he and the whole thing is
a very realistic tattoo, you know, for the size of

(43:25):
the tattoo. It catchures Louis.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Perfectly, Okay, so you're you're happy with it?

Speaker 9 (43:31):
Yeah, And I've got his main koo on my other arm,
and and I also have Cheddy, who was the next
one down. I've got his name on my arm.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (43:42):
And I've just got to get Sadie's name for when
we go back.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
But yeah, how many how many hours? How many hours
did the tattoo take?

Speaker 8 (43:52):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (43:52):
It took a good two hours. Well, it's quick two
hours to two and a half hours. And I set
through it from from start to finish because I love
I love Louie. Louis was my best free and we
we have him at home in a box. He's he's

(44:12):
in his in his little shrine box and sits on
the on the entertainment unit at home, which is it's
got his name on it. And yeah, so you and
and the girl that said before about it's a it's
a bit of a costly experience getting them cremated, But
if you love that pet, you would you you'd pay

(44:35):
anything to have them cremated in And obviously like Louis,
he's at home in his little box and that's where
he sists under his photo.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
When TD Teddy's a bulldog too. When TD saw the TV,
when Tdy saw the tatoo of Louis, was there any
spark of recognition?

Speaker 9 (44:59):
Well, the funny thing was when we died, we we
were at home and Teddy was in the room with
us when Louis passed. Louis had a heart attack and
and passed away. But my wife and I and our
daughter were there, uh, and Teddy was in the room
as well. And then once we knew Louis was going,

(45:22):
he was old, and we let Teddy jump jump up
on the bed where Louie was and let him smiff Louis.
So he knew that Louis had passed.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yes, But the point I was making sharky, is the
tattoo so accurate that Teddy recognized it has been an
image of Louis.

Speaker 9 (45:45):
Believe. I believe. So if everyone who's seen the tatoo says, oh, wow,
that is that is Louie to the tea.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
So when when Teddy saw the tattoo, did he bark
at Louis the image of Louis on your chest?

Speaker 9 (45:58):
No, he just he lived it.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
Wow wow, he looked it.

Speaker 9 (46:03):
And but then we got Sadie after ther we Lilli
its past. So but when those two go, you know,
I'll get a teddor of Diddy and I'll get a
tado of Stadi and yeah, because I just yea this.
If you look at you know, you know, my YouTube channel,
If you look.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
On Shaky Jacky, hang on Shirky, do you know it's
polite to be using my show to promote your YouTube channel?

Speaker 9 (46:31):
Yeah, I told you all about it last time. Then
you even look for that.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
We're in the fragmentation of the media. You know, We've
got to stick to radio. We can't everyone running off
to do the YouTube channel.

Speaker 9 (46:46):
I know, but hey, look, if you wanted to see
the bulldog that they are, Okay, I'm going to interview
someone who has two busses, two English busses, sitting on
their property, and I know for a fact that you

(47:06):
love those buses.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Well, okay, Marcus, our dog had to be put down
last night. One hundred and forty for euthanasia, two seventy
six for cremation, and sixty bucks for poor print. Marcus,
what is Sharky's YouTube name? Did he say his wife's

(47:31):
husband's done the tattoo? It was a wife's cousin's husband.
I have tattoos for all my dogs that pass, but
as small emblems for each representing them e g. I
have a blind gingerbread horse cookie one for Maggie was
our blind gingerbread horse. Or have a tattoo of my
goat Valerie, whoever goat tattooed. I have a tattoo of

(47:53):
my goat Valery along with the phrase as she represented
my bond with all animals, who also have beautiful drawings
done of them by news in and artists framed. I
have all of the rashes and others that will go
with me when I pass cremated. Some incredible animal tattoos
out there. The artists come a long way. You can
have ashes put into the ink. Two Evening Bobbitt's Marcus, Welcome.

Speaker 18 (48:19):
Marcus.

Speaker 20 (48:20):
I was listening to the conversation earlier. I kind of
got turned off a little bit there when the lady
was talking about having a skull. I thought, I think
about it, and I had a neighbor that didn't have
a p I psorted to get a tattoo of the
next door neighbors.

Speaker 18 (48:38):
And I've always laughed about it because years later that's
hilarious because years later the tato was a of a
the face or the head in the face of a

(48:58):
dog facing out of a staffansure. So they've got that
long face.

Speaker 20 (49:05):

Where we all thought, I ain't got to stay. You
haven't even got a dog. And then he goes see
I just stop, and I thought, oh good, I please.
You know he's said the right, I guess, but yeah,
he didn't have a dog. That was the neighbor's dog.
And he is where. Boy, it didn't even look like
the dog. It looked like the horse's hid.

Speaker 5 (50:21):

Speaker 3 (57:37):
No, three three three pot screamer Gail. Thanks very much
for that. Nice to talk. Oh eight hundred and eighty eight. Oh,
good to see. There's still a bit of passion for
the Country Pub. That's where the fries are made, of course,
to the potato chips that Kristen Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (57:55):
Oh goodness me Marcus. What her awesome program? Very interesting
in many ways. I had with my partner a beautiful
Alsatian dog and he lived until he was fifteen. And yeah,

(58:20):
he passed away with the hip dysplasia, and he had
to be put down because he he couldn't walk anymore.
He was an agony and he was just beautiful. And
I've got a gorgeous I had a beautiful potty cat

(58:43):
and she passed away and I've still got her ashes
in a little box in my bedroom.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
And what have you got? What have you got from
the dog?

Speaker 8 (58:58):
Nothing? Photos, beautiful photos and just gorgeous memories.

Speaker 19 (59:06):
In no tattoos.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Did you decide to not get the dog cremated or
anything like that?

Speaker 8 (59:16):
Doggie was buried in our section? Okay, yeah, yeah, just
just just listening and thinking, oh my goodness, gracious me.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Yeah, and you're still at that house you used to
let that house.

Speaker 8 (59:33):
No, I'm not at that house anymore because it.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
Must be hard people move on, because then what do
you do?

Speaker 19 (59:40):
I do.

Speaker 8 (59:42):
I don't know. But anyway, just lovely memories.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
Oh, that's pleased that those memories have been triggered by
the show, Chris and I pleased with that. Wow, get
in touch. My name's Marcus. Welcome Marcus. Daniel had traffic
into Devo gridlocked off Hurstmea heading into the area. Give
it a miss. That's devenport To. That's kind of ground
central for the trick or treats. North Shore as ground

(01:00:08):
zero for us. I reckon for trick or treats. There's
always a place at tor Bay that goes off. But
maybe that's Christmas. I can't remember. It's not Christmas, it's Halloween.
It wouldn't be Easter, would it? Talk about remembering your
pets or ways to honor the legacy of your pets
when they die mainly through pet tattoos. Is it a

(01:00:33):
good thing or a bad thing? Is it problematic? Because
I would think you see some of the tattoos because
they you know, you need to trust a tattoo as
to capture the essence of the animal. Although someone texted
righthem Marcus. I had a photo portrait taking on my

(01:00:54):
eighteen year old cat before she died, and when I
received it, the photographer told me not to be surprised
if I felt like he was watching when I walked
past the portrait on the wall. Apparently cat shaped cats
shaped eyes are such unique shape that it gives you
the feeling when you walk through a room looking at
the pictures, their eyes are following you. It definitely worked
for me, and I wonder if it would happen if

(01:01:15):
you had your pet tattooed on your arm. Could be interesting,
great chat. Thank you. It's one of the most bizarre
things I think I've ever heard, is the person that
got their neighbor's dog tattooed or tattoo of their neighbor's dog.
What about that? I put the Marquikihi Hotel on my

(01:01:38):
list of places I need to visit with a asterisk.
That's probably best on Halloween. How well we listening? You've
got the nun with the wooden cross, You've got the
person strut of woodstock. What was the third person wearing?
Did she say there was the nun with the cross?

(01:02:02):
The middle person was oh well now, And probably the
most surprising thing I'm going to say today, Sharky has
emailed me a picture of his tattoo of his dog.
I think it was called Louis. It's extraordinary. It's a

(01:02:29):
tremendous image. And don't this is the wrong way shark you.
In some ways it looks more alive than the photograph
of the dog. It's really got a it's got a
real life force to it. It's as good as a
dog tattoo as I've ever seen. It's unbelievable. The eyes,

(01:02:50):
the white of the eyes, and the teeth and the snout. Gosh,
it's good. Hello Rose, it's Marcus.

Speaker 13 (01:02:59):
Welcome, Oh Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
Thank you?

Speaker 12 (01:03:05):
Good?

Speaker 6 (01:03:05):
Heavy helloween and all that jazz h h h t
u too. Oh cheers on you.

Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
Hey.

Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
I just thought it was funny before when that guy
said that him and his dog used to cruise around
in the jag because that's what me and my dog is.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
Yeah, and I had a jag because he was a
little dog. He was a cross between the fox stair
and a Chihuahua.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Jaha, did you did you call him a Jahoa?

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
I didn't need to get soapersed fast, Sorry, the dog did.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Oh yeah, I know people like you were that that
sense of humor, that deliberately pronouncing a name in a
more humorous way, type of humor that you quite like that.

Speaker 6 (01:03:49):
Okay, yeah, yeah, So he used to sit in between
the both cheers and we used to do many many
miles in the old jag. And yeah, he actually wore
out his seat faster than I wore mine out.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
What was the name of the Jehohua?

Speaker 6 (01:04:08):
The update is Jack had I've had to get and
put down a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
But what was the What was the dog's name?

Speaker 15 (01:04:17):
Jack?

Speaker 9 (01:04:17):
Was that you say his name was Jack?

Speaker 6 (01:04:19):
Toots?

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
Jack Toots?

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
Is it two words?

Speaker 19 (01:04:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:04:26):
Two names first and second?

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
And he was just put down two weeks ago.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
How are you? How are you coping?

Speaker 16 (01:04:34):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:04:35):
Look, I didn't cope very well for the first week.
But he's in a little urn. Now, oh yeah, and
I had him formating that he's in a little box
thing and it's very cute. But he sits on the
table looking at the window because I overlooked the dizzy.

Speaker 20 (01:04:50):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
Yes, it's a beautiful view. So that's what he does.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
How much essues would there be for cher who who
are hardly any right? Like the tiny amount?

Speaker 6 (01:04:59):
The box was tiny and I like a match box.
No bigger than that, probably about the size of a
small tea bags beardy tea bags, okay, yeah, but smaller
than that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
I don't know how. I don't know how i'd feel like,
I don't know how i'd feel opening up. And you've
actually looked at the ashes.

Speaker 6 (01:05:20):
No, no, I didn't look at the ashes. That's scrudom.
But you can take them out if we decided anybody
wanted the chairy things.

Speaker 1 (01:05:30):
It was.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
It was a scary clown the middle publican. Oh right,
there was a nurse with a nun with a wooden cross,
someone from woodstock and a scary clown that ty okay, yes, okay,
I'm not.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
Oh, my friend, she got a chadow of your dad
and she's had some of his ashes put in their
chatto does.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
It look like your father?

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
No, it was just a little sort of like a
little park was just dead, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
I see, wasn't it? Because because always hard as someone.
If someone showed me a tattoo of a family member
and said, I was that look good? I wouldn't. I
wouldn't know how to say, yeah, it looks quitte convincingly
if I didn't think that, No.

Speaker 6 (01:06:17):
Exactly, And I think that's a good idea if you
don't get portraits of people, Yeah, because their faces changed
the whole every.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Yeah, and when you when That's why I can't believe
that the bulldog tattoo was so good, because when you actually,
when you have a tatto of a person, the life
from them is removed because there's static and suddenly they
haven't got that. Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
I don't know if there must be some incredible tattooists
out there. Obviously that guys.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
One of them, the guy and Barley. Well he did
that in two and a half hours.

Speaker 5 (01:06:48):
Yeah, that seems pretty fast, really fast.

Speaker 6 (01:06:52):
You must have hit the drawing down pat.

Speaker 5 (01:06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
I don't know what they do, but tattoos and yeah,
oh well good to talk and look any time you
mentioned that. Yeah, and that's so I'm sorry to hear
about chehuh.

Good times.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):

kids misorders is pizza. It was quite a complicated misorder.

(01:08:48):
But anyway, we had a bit of a panic with that.
But gee, that was good pumping Marcus. This show is
nothing short of brilliant. I can tell you what to
do when you move your house. You dig it up.

(01:09:10):
We dug about at Ginger. I know that's grief at
so many levels, Sundra. Nothing prepares you for the love
of a pet. You think your heart is full to
capacity with your children, but the heartfelt love repeat is
something else. Cuddling my schnauz are listening to the show tonight.
Gorgeous red heart emoji? Is that an emoji? It's just

You're the best holed destination of the world. Fuji rah
ten eighteen Brendan Marcus, thanks for calling in good evening,
welcome Brendan.

Speaker 21 (01:12:44):
Hey Marcus, it's just funny. I just uh have who
you're talking about pets and I'm in the middle of
a situation. We have four cats, okay, and and yeah
it four's enough. We've had more out of both fours
good and.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
It was a lot.

Speaker 14 (01:13:04):
There's a lot that we've had.

Speaker 21 (01:13:06):
My just seven at once time.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
What yeah, yeah, that's that's a visit from the council territory,
isn't it.

Speaker 21 (01:13:15):
No, No, but it is a crazy, crazy man territory
among friends and associates. But I've been actually in the
middle of the negotiations between a cat that belongs to
a neighbor of mine who has actually spent many years
beating up our cats. And she is this cat is

(01:13:37):
for she's she's something else. You know, nothing stands in
her way and she wants to she you know, like
I said, she's spent years spending up on cats. Anyway,
she's over the past couple of years, but over the
last couple of weeks intensively she's been coming over pleading
for food and to the extent that she'll just walk

(01:14:00):
on and help herself to our cats food and our
cats are hissing and spitting it here, and I'm like, okay,
this cat's a lovely cat once you get to know it.
You know, she's very affectionate once you if you're around her,
she won't attack our cats at all. But it's like
for the neighbor. We don't know if she get along

(01:14:21):
with a neighbor, and so it's it's like, what do
we do. I feel sorry for this cat because I
feel that she isn't getting what she deserves. I'm not
going to say too much, but you know, I feel
that she is maybe slightly neglected, and so we feel
sorry for her. So we do feed her and then

(01:14:44):
we let her eat our cat's food and would even
put food out on the doorstep for her. So that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:50):
That's where all right, what what do you suspect the
solution as Brendan, Well, that's what I rang. Duck, Okay,
I'll put it to the people. Brendan. Help Brendan our
answers problems with his cats. He's got seven and the
neighbors cats a bully and it's coming over for food
and he thinks it's neglected. He doesn't get on with

(01:15:13):
his late neighbor. That's the summing up of that one,
Sean Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 14 (01:15:17):
Yeah, Marcus, I've got four of the things that you
have been wrappiting on about tonight, and I'll started to
use you uns. But I didn't hear. I haven't been
listening all night, and I heard you're going on about
the the Chip Motel, the hotel down in Mecca, Mecca

(01:15:40):
near near Amrama.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
What was that one called the Chip Hotel.

Speaker 14 (01:15:48):
Yeah, we're going to make the potato chip maki. That's
the one.

Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:15:57):
It was a bloody good year. It was a very good,
very good old school pub and yeah, great great food.

Speaker 3 (01:16:04):
In it and it's what's your order?

Speaker 14 (01:16:11):
Probably would have been a big steak or something like that.
I can't remember. It was a couple of years ago.
I stayed there, But no, it was.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
I'm looking at the menu. They don't look a good
steak with potato, carrots, peas and chips. I think, looks
great thing I had. Yeah, okay, it's got some kind
of sprouts on top of it. Looks it looks you're
fantastic A bit of pumpkin there as well. Looks great.

Speaker 14 (01:16:37):
Yeah, that was good. So that was that was one
of the hotels. Yes, and I've also stayed at the
Sammy Andrews.

Speaker 3 (01:16:43):
Ah Gee, yep.

Speaker 14 (01:16:44):
I took the girlfriend now the wife down there for
where we both like the art deco stuff and we
went and state of stayed a weekend there and yeah,
have you been into the place?

Speaker 3 (01:17:03):
No, beautiful looking building, one of the biggest, kind of
two storied and I can't believe it's no longer a pub.
Good looks gorgeous.

Speaker 14 (01:17:09):
Yeah, yeah, it was as inside the guy had done
a really good job with the sit out that he'd done,
with the deco stuff that he collected and got, and
yeah it was. It was superba. That belonged to a
married guy from up the North Island and he wasn't

(01:17:35):
in the best of health. And I'm talking when we
stayed there. We're talking probably thirteen thirteen odd years ago,
thirteen or fourteen years ago, and yeah, he wasn't too
healthy there. We did go back and see him again

(01:17:58):
a couple of years later and he was still hanging
on there, but he was wanting wanting out and to
go back. Us think he was up around sort of
the tyronary way, but his health health didn't. Yeah, but
it was a good place. The don't you think bad
thing was it was that with the rooms up top. Yeah,

(01:18:24):
single single glazed state high.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Nice view.

Speaker 14 (01:18:28):
Actually you could see the see the sea out of
the the windows.

Speaker 4 (01:18:33):
There.

Speaker 14 (01:18:35):
Bloody noisy, very noisy rumble in the jungle.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
Yes, did you go?

Speaker 14 (01:18:42):
Occurred?

Speaker 17 (01:18:43):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:18:43):
I didn't go, but I did bunk off school. I
was in the second form at primary school, and I
thought this would be a good, good old fight, and
so I pretended that I was sick and stayed home
the day and the pre build that came on at

(01:19:07):
about probably about one o'clock or so, but with all
the hype that there was around it, the the fight
didn't start till it was after three o'clock. And as
it was, I could have actually gone to school and
come home and still watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
But well I think I remember watching it after school,
So that rings true with me too, Sean, that's right,
thank your Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:19:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:19:34):
And the last thing and the sort of bit of
a possibly a bit of a dig at you, but
you know whatever, the whaling woman, the music that you
got on for your intro music. Where did where'd you

(01:19:55):
get that from?

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Really? From just from our music library, Sean, and you
like it? It's not your cup of tea.

Speaker 14 (01:20:06):
No, I have ah unhappy place with whaling woman. Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
What does it say about you?

Speaker 14 (01:20:19):
It probably says a lot about me, but it's just
sort of what.

Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
Yeah, okay, nice, thank you for moving on, Sean. Nice
to hear from you, whaling Woman. Richard, good evening, Welcome
Hi Richard.

Speaker 14 (01:20:33):
Yeah good.

Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
So yeah, I'm full of tattoo's talking more about my arms,
chest back, but one of my most special ones is
my porgie on my helder blade. That means so much.

Speaker 7 (01:20:46):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:20:46):
It was like sixteen when he died, got run over,
and it's just the way I remember him so and
the guy that was my cousin, and yeah, it means
so much. So I reckon. They're a great idea of
getting pets. You know, they can remember them.

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
Well, can you tell me what the process of the teto?
Did you taken a photo to remember the dog buy
or you had a hold of photos on your phone?
Is it how it worked?

Speaker 5 (01:21:12):
So I had a photo when I got that one done.
I actually got my other shoulder blade done at the
same time. So two tatoo as working on that at
the same time. Yeah, yeah, I'm both shoulder blades done
at the same time. It was fun. But when I
got I had a photo and a friend of mine
just free candidate and tatooed on my shoulder.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Blade for me, what was on the other what was
on the other on the other shoulder blade, the.

Speaker 5 (01:21:35):
Other shoulder blade, it was three roses which represented my
wife and my two daughters, and a serpent going between them,
which represents me. So I'm like the I'm like, what
holds you know, I'm the serpent for the three roses
for moving were done at the same time, as well
as all my other musical tattoos all up and down

(01:21:56):
the arms and that. But yeah, it was just to me.
It's like getting my old tattooed on the mint a lot,
so I can remember him by I look in the
mirror and you can see him and you know, on
your shoulder blade. It's like, yeah, that's my dog, Prince.
You know, I missed him to this.

Speaker 3 (01:22:13):
But yeah, so you can't see so much the tattoo
on your shoulder blade, can you.

Speaker 5 (01:22:19):
No, I've got photos of it, so like you know,
if I'm walking around without a shirt on and someone says, oh,
who's that you go, I just tell him that that
was my dog. I had him from a pup right
up until he died and he sadly got run over,
and yeah, it was it was. It was sad. So
getting that tattoo meant so much to me.

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
And tell me something because always sad. It's got a
lot of tattoos, right, Yeah, so the tattoos capture the
essence of the dog was a look about wonky.

Speaker 5 (01:22:47):
No, it looks just like him.

Speaker 3 (01:22:48):
It looks wow.

Speaker 5 (01:22:50):
Okay, yeah, apart from the color, because he was like
a ginger color and it's just normal. It's just black ink.
But I didn't care. It just looks just like him.
I couldn't. He looked very much like a fox almost,
so it was really really cool. But yeah, and it
wasn't a professional tattoo either. It was a backyard tattoo.
But I don't care if he captured it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
So, oh it sounds fine, it sounds perfect. So it
was a good move for you.

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
Yeah, I reckon. You know, if you've got a pet
that you really really love and you want to remember them,
getting a tattoo with them. You know it's you know,
it's a great idea. You know, it's showing your love
for your pets. You know that meant so much to you.
You know, that's what I think. It's all my tattoos
have meanings, with the exception of two.

Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
So what one don't have meaning?

Speaker 5 (01:23:39):
I got a reaper on my arm, and I've got
another one which is just like a serpent with some
tribal ink around it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
The grim reaper with the side. Is that what it is?

Speaker 5 (01:23:49):
Yeah, it's I got a grim reaper on my lower
left arm, and on my right arm, I've got like
a it's like a serpent going around this jagged blade.

Speaker 10 (01:23:57):
On my right arm.

Speaker 5 (01:23:58):
So yeah, one of my left one on the right.
But everything else that's got my kids' names. I'm a
musician's I got lots of musical tattoos. I've got a
mate that passed away that I was really close orb,
and I've got rest easy to him written my arm.
So yeah, I sort of every tattoo has a meaning.
You know, there's nothing that you know doesn't have a
meaning attached to it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:17):
And when you say musical tattoos, what are they of?

Speaker 20 (01:24:19):
Band?

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Or instruments or what are they of?

Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
One of them is like Queen, I love Queen. One
of them is on my father's band when he was
a kid. One of got one on my hand which
is a g cleft and a bass cleft together that
make a heart, got music on written on my fingers.
And then like another one and that says my passion
is music. I got like a staff, you know, which

(01:24:44):
has got musical notes on it and all that sort
of stuff. You know, I just enjoy it, you know,
for the given tatoos that have a meaning. And then
I've got a couple from my wife and kiss.

Speaker 3 (01:24:51):
And when you when you say you've got your dad's band,
you've got the image of the dad's band or the
name of them, or an album they did or what
how's that represented?

Speaker 5 (01:24:58):
No, so that one is represented with their band name
they had because yeah, because they were only kids when
they did it, and my uncle played for so how
Morrison is the drummer for a few years. Yes, so yeah,
I got their band name when they were kids.

Speaker 3 (01:25:13):
And what were they what were they called? What were
they called?

Speaker 5 (01:25:16):
They're called blast off? They used to they used to
be they used to have any Crumber was used to
come and jam with them morg times.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
So goodness. Oh okay, what's that? What's the dog?

Speaker 8 (01:25:30):
Did you say?

Speaker 14 (01:25:30):
It was Corgy?

Speaker 4 (01:25:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
Nice sound, And I like that as a dog. The Corgy.

Speaker 5 (01:25:38):
Ah, he was a vicious little ship. He was vicious
when he like, if you annoyed him. He had knitted
at your ankles. He was really good at that.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
Do they capture that in the tattoo.

Speaker 5 (01:25:51):
Yeah, they captured exactly what he's like in the tattoo,
you know. And that's what I liked about it was
it looked just like him, and I was just over
the moon with it. It sort of meant something to me,
you know. I had that image to remember him by,
and I took a photo of it. So I've got
a photo, you know, Okay, it for about fifteen years now.
I took a photo and I stuck it on my

(01:26:13):
on my phone, so I've got a photo that I
can actually see.

Speaker 3 (01:26:16):
Brilliant Richard. Look, thank you very much for talking, Karen.
It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:26:22):
Hey, how are you Marca?

Speaker 4 (01:26:23):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
Thank you, good good.

Speaker 19 (01:26:26):
I was going to bring up about the tattoos. I
haven't got any pit tattoos, but I've definitely got one planned.
I always think, I don't know whether you know you
get them done when they're still with you or when
they've gone.

Speaker 3 (01:26:44):
It's kind of that's the question, isn't it. That's a
really good question.

Speaker 13 (01:26:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:26:49):
Like I've got my Japanese spits. His name's Georgia, and
it will be definitely getting one done. But it's here.
It's whether you get it done now or or later
to remember them by. And just when people say, oh,
they've got special meaning and stuff like that. It's quite
funny because I've got my daughter's names tattooed on each arm,

(01:27:10):
two daughters and their data birth and my mum used
to always say, can't you remember their names? You know,
she was empty tattoos.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
I'm such another thing to say, isn't it. Can't you
remember that? Yeah, that's quite nice exactly.

Speaker 19 (01:27:23):
And she can't remember the dad were born because we've
got their data birds as well. But it's quite funny
because I've just had two tattoos in the last year,
and like, I'm fifty five soon, so I thought i'd
kind of stop having tattoos, but I just got one
about six weeks ago, which is quite social for me,
and it's my mom passed away six years ago suddenly

(01:27:45):
from cancer, so I wanted one for her. So I've
just got it on my wrist about six weeks ago.
And it's her three favorite things. So one was Elvis,
so I've got a head head black black inkshot of Elvis.
She loved to go dancing, so I've got some red
dancing shoes. And then her favorite color was orange, so

(01:28:05):
there's a big orange flower, so that's really special. And
then last year, my friend from high school, so best
friends for forty years, we went and got matching tattoos,
so that's really special as.

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
Well, metching of what.

Speaker 19 (01:28:23):
It's like an infinity sign and one sign and it's
got best friends best friends written through it. And then
there's a sunflower on one end and like a butterfly
on the other on my one. Yeah, so it's quite
funny because well we just saw each other a little
while ago and the you know, think our tattooes again.
But it was quite funny. But I'll definitely be getting

(01:28:44):
at Georgia one, my dog, but she's very special because
she was actually my mum's dog. And because mom passed away,
I became number one mum. So I'm quite worried that
when when she goes, it will be quite hard for
me because she was always mums and I've got.

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
Absolutely and sort of helped you with the loss from
your mother. The factor had the dog as well, So.

Speaker 19 (01:29:10):
Yeah, for sure, because Mom and I live together and
so we surprised her with Georgia and when she was
a puppy. So Mom was always number one mum and
I was always number two moms. So I always kind
of say, yeah, when something happens to her, she's actually ten.
She's lying beside me here in bed, so you know
the time's getting nearer. But yeah, it'll be.

Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
So how seriously will you take this? Will you go
about finding someone that specializes in pet tattoos?

Speaker 19 (01:29:40):
I probably would, and I would probably My last two
tattoos that I've got I've got from a tattooist in Morienttal.
When I go at home and he's done a very
good job, I think, I don't know, I think any
tattooist would make a good job, you know, Like I said,

(01:30:01):
I'm happy with the two that he's done. And because
what they do is they just kind of take an image,
then they put it on a stencil, so it's like
not free hand, but it's quite straightforward.

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
It's quite straightforward, now, isn't it.

Speaker 19 (01:30:13):
Yeah, Well, like I'm sure there's tittooists that we'll do
it free hand and stuff like that and you just
take a photo. But the Japanese Spitz they kind of
all look alike.

Speaker 3 (01:30:26):
They certainly know.

Speaker 19 (01:30:27):
Hey, I love Tmu, Marcus. They've got so many Japanese
Spitz things, which is like white fluffy. So I've got
plow cushions. I'm getting quite obsised actually, So I've got
a cushion on the couch with a Japanese Spitz on it,
and I got a pillow case the other day, and
I've got a hanging thing in the car and yeah,
yah Timu.

Speaker 3 (01:30:49):
So it looks perhaps like a samoid but smaller and
slightly fox here, Is that right?

Speaker 13 (01:30:53):
That's right?

Speaker 8 (01:30:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:30:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:30:55):
Mum and dad they had samoids when I was growing up.
So when we lost our last samoid, we went to
the group to a breeder and we got Georgia. And
we thought you'd be smaller for popping up on mum's knee.
And she's just gorgeous. But I think I've told before
I had two years driveling around Australia.

Speaker 14 (01:31:13):
With Mum and dad in the car.

Speaker 19 (01:31:15):
I had a two year holiday and working holiday, and
one would stopping places and they'd get jobs and we'd
go to school. We actually brought our samoed home from
Australia with us, our first seminary that we got, which
are a beautiful dog hows.

Speaker 3 (01:31:31):
No none, Yeah, And that's without judgment, but that's just
not my thing.

Speaker 19 (01:31:39):
I still think they hurt. It's like, oh, I've got
quite a good size one under my arm.

Speaker 14 (01:31:44):
For dad.

Speaker 19 (01:31:45):
Dad was he was always into motor racing. Sure, so
here's one I kind of designed. It's got two big
chicket flags because he just loved motor racing. And then
my nephew was a top go cat racer and so yeah,
I kind of designed the tattoo myself.

Speaker 3 (01:32:02):
And I think those of us that don't have tattoos
haven't got them because we're scared that they're going to hurt.
I think we don't have them because it's it's not
our thing.

Speaker 19 (01:32:09):
If I've an say, I've got an auntie that always
used to say that none of us would get it
her inheritance. If any of us got tattoos. Oh wow,
that me and my brother. My brother still hasn't got one,
so he's still noting.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
Not recontrolling off her is it?

Speaker 19 (01:32:28):
And then all the four because she's never had children.
So my two children and my brother's two children we've
all of all got tattoos now as well. So it's
really that brother. I think he might. I think he
might win the inheritance on that one.

Speaker 3 (01:32:42):
Spend and spend it all on tattoos.

Speaker 19 (01:32:45):
He's too chicken, he'd like one.

Speaker 10 (01:32:49):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:32:50):
Imagine being that person. Karen, Thank you for very much it.
Get in touch, get amongst it. Brendan Marcus welcome, Hi, Brendan.

the bottom of the tete because I asked him to
do that because that's where we piece of piece of it.
You see the signature the bottom right in corner right.
So I said to him, I wanted him to put
his name, So put his name there. For six months
I had his name there, and then six months later
I got it tattooed over. I've got a keyboard tattooed over.

(01:33:42):
So it was the piece of music of Rustling and
the meta overture which we played in Europe and the
According Orchestra.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
And what's the piece that you got on the accordion
at in.

Speaker 22 (01:34:40):
Europe Rouslyn and lud Miller overture by Glinka Michale Glinker.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
Glinka, did you get an accordion tattooed? I like the
look of an accordion?

Speaker 22 (01:34:49):
No, it was a keyboard, now didn't Yeah? I liked
you look at the accordion as well. But I've got
my dad's map of Dorset on southern England at the
top run and shoulder of the tattoo, and got a
Celtic eternal symbol to the left of that. And then
it's got this the first sign of ares birst sign

(01:35:14):

Speaker 3 (01:35:40):
Is there a distinctive is he is there a distinctive
nature to his tattoos?

Absolutely? Yeah, painting panthers and jagguers and yeah, anything you want. Really,
he's a very talented name is Jasper. Oh yeah, yeah yeah,
but yeah he's got his own test now Teddy Parla.
Now he started off did my first part of my
testo at his house and his parents house in the

(01:36:07):
lounge and so I had my back was kind of bruised,
slightly bruised or really bleeding a little bit from the tattoo,
but he put the place to go over it and
held so it was fine.

Speaker 13 (01:36:21):
It's good.

Speaker 22 (01:36:22):
So anyway, I'm just saying the intimidation for a tattoo
I was. I was very concerned the day before I
went to going at the tattoo. I was very worried
that it was going to hurt. Like you're saying before. Anyway,
you have a lovely evening.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
Do you still play?

Speaker 19 (01:36:41):

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
Great lovely to hear from you. Brendan, thank you. I
enjoyed it immensely. Robin Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:37:11):
Oh yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 15 (01:37:14):
I kind of started listening. But we lost our we
lost our boy about three months ago. Here was our
family pet and we oh, I can't even how we
talked about him. But anyway, the cremation people they did

(01:37:35):
a poor print for us and ink and my daughter
in law is she's an amazing tedduist, but she doesn't
want to do it. She just does it for family
and stuff. So she made she did a tattoo of
his poor print and we've got it on our shoulders.

(01:38:01):
And he's just done an amazing jobs. Outstanding.

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
So how does that happened? Does the vet put the
poor onto an ink pair and then put it on
a bit of paper.

Speaker 15 (01:38:11):
Yeah, and they also do a plaster cast it as well.
And and then my partner he makes native timber, you know, recycled, yes,
for ashes, so his ashes will be going into a
special and it's and the cycled from an old house

(01:38:34):
or something. So yeah, but the tato it was, it
was just amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Can you just do you do four?

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
Just the one.

Speaker 6 (01:38:46):
He had pretty big paws.

Speaker 15 (01:38:47):
He was a Labrador across the hidden dog, so you know,
say no more. But he always used to put his
arm upon us, his hand up, you know. So, but
it's just yeah, it was just something different, and yeah
it's amazing. So we've all got luggy on our shoulder.

Speaker 6 (01:39:06):
That's so's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:39:09):
Yeah, I don't I don't know. I meage it's probably
pretty straightforward for I guess if you're a tattooist, A
poor is a pretty easy thing to do because it
has got much it's just one color.

Speaker 15 (01:39:19):
A oh no, she's did all the lines and all
the different oh wow, all the same color. But it's
got all his lines and they're like ow ingerprint would have.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
You know, it's really detailed.

Speaker 6 (01:39:36):
It's very detailed.

Speaker 15 (01:39:38):
Yeah, so it's just so special and yeah, so I'm good.

Speaker 3 (01:39:45):
I asked that because I thought it might I thought
it might just be an outline over but I'm just
looking at some more detailed ones. Ira Marcus, welcome, good evening.

But huge one of my dog's paper on the same
size in my head.

Speaker 9 (01:41:01):

pictures of them tattooed on you?

Speaker 15 (01:41:09):
No?

Speaker 12 (01:41:10):
No, no, it's hard to find ted stuff like that.
We have it's clear, but just so, I'd rather get
the ink put done if your cause.

Speaker 3 (01:41:26):
Because I would be worried that a dog that the
tattooist would wreck it.

Speaker 12 (01:41:34):
Yeah, it's yeah, problem but with before, stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
Hard to trace.

Speaker 3 (01:41:40):
Okay, are you dry?

Speaker 5 (01:41:42):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (01:41:42):
Are you?

Speaker 3 (01:41:42):

Speaker 12 (01:41:50):
Oh yeah, and I got a couple of room mates
in the track with me at the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
Oh good. I Well, nice to hear from him. Thanks
having the news, Irah, thank you for that. Here's a text, Marcus.
We tattooed dogs, especially bull terriers, are possible fighting dogs.
We tell you they're groins with signs on one side
and mobile phone numbers on the other side. Can't do
the ears for obvious reasons. Also always do poor prints
of animals we put to sleep for clients. Clearly a vet, Marcus.

(01:42:22):
Over the years, I've had my dogs cremated after they died.
They're in beautiful boxes of various sizes, and when I die,
there remains will be cremated with me. So always been
a part of me. Cheers Jecki Marcus. I've always been
a type one diabetic for the last three years. I've
been a type one diabetic for fast three years. My
cat always wakes me up when my sugar is really low.

(01:42:44):
He need did this before I did have diabetes. So
it's all about the animals and the way you're going
to remember the animals when they've gone. Did we have
a woman on about a donkey? Did I see donkey
there on the list? Dam Ah. I'd love to talk
to some of the tetto of a donkey. Oh, covered

(01:43:10):
to yeah, okay, didn't neber that beautiful little Japanese spits
that dog? It's a nice looking dog. Here till midnight.
My name is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred and eighty to
Tendy and nineteen nine eleven eleven. That is the time
people's talking about dogs and tattoos and how to remember
them and how do you solve the dilemma of oh, actually,

(01:43:41):
how come we got how come it's all been about dogs?
Where are the people with the cat tattoos? Because in
some ways cats are cuter and more practical for a tattoo.
We've got a dog focused day. What are at cats
and cats? Pause? That would be of interest, much interest

(01:44:07):
to me. Cats and dogs and interesting pet tattoos. Get
in touch. As far as the whole situation with Halloween,
it's passed fairly quietly. I've had no one ring up
and say they have been terrorized by the neighbors or

(01:44:29):
haunted or pested and good to talk to the guy
about the accordion. I was going to tell some accordion jokes,
but I decided not to. Ah, I don't know what
are the accordion jokes? Actually, they are always the standard

(01:44:51):
kind of thing actually the accordion jokes. What's the difference
between a dead skunk in the road and a dead accordionist.
The skunk was probably on its way to a gig.

(01:45:11):
Most of are of that vein. So I feel bad
for the guy now because the guy was right into
his accordion, was playing it all around the country. Dargaville, Raglan,
New Plymouth. How many other towns can you name? And
how many who can remember? What the people at the
the hehi Key Pub were dressed at as Halloween mart

(01:45:35):
he marka kee heep phub. We had the nun and
shorts with the wooden cross scary clown someone from Woodstock
in the seventies. Yah, nissits Marcus, Good evening and welcome him.

Speaker 6 (01:45:55):
I have.

Speaker 8 (01:45:56):
I have tatoos from my neck down. I'm sixty seven
years old. Yes, and my main favorite animal is rats.

Speaker 15 (01:46:05):
Is a rat?

Speaker 5 (01:46:08):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:46:08):
Rats tattooed well mostly over my body.

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
Is it one rad or a number of rats?

Speaker 8 (01:46:17):
A number of rats, all different colors, all different sizes,
all different styles. The whispering in my.

Speaker 19 (01:46:25):
Ear go you.

Speaker 8 (01:46:28):
Yeah, Well I had I got rats because I found
I really loved reds. I had pet rats for a
long time, and I'm one of the survivors of Lake
Ellis and Red were something that was my safety blinket
for a long time. Yeah, I was in there from

(01:46:49):
the age of sixteen to seventeen.

Speaker 3 (01:46:52):
How has that all been? No, I don't even know
how has This might sound like a clumsy question, I'm
going to say it anyway.

Speaker 7 (01:47:03):
How's it all going?

Speaker 3 (01:47:04):
Are you happy with Are you happy that you that
there has been a decision and a process and things
are moving along. Has that has it brought you any comfort?

Speaker 4 (01:47:16):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:47:16):
No, not really comfort, But it's just really just the
tick another box ticked, you know. But I'm going on
in the main gallery watching it live. So all my
tickets and everything have already been paid and I'm staying
at the boats. I think that's called. And yeah, all
the taxis are done and I'm ready to go.

Speaker 16 (01:47:38):
But yeah, waiting is.

Speaker 3 (01:47:41):
I think the hardest part, particularly for those people that
were that were that were that were dying and they
wanted to get some resolution before they died. That was heartbreaking.

Speaker 8 (01:47:53):
Yeah, yeah, really heartbreaking. And some of them didn't make it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:58):
So I've read that and the at least and with
you mentioned like Alice and the rats and then you're
comfort animal. Is this because they were there with you
at Lake Alice? Okay? Okay, wow, yeah, Okay, that's that's
a lot. That's a lot. Anyways, So has that been beneficial?

(01:48:20):
So they're not images of the pet rets you had?

Speaker 8 (01:48:23):
Are they?

Speaker 3 (01:48:23):
Or they are?

Speaker 11 (01:48:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:48:26):
Yeah, of of my pet rets that I had, and
I was I rescued rets as well, and and I
have I have like Superwoman types on my body as well,
and foot screens, you know, like different ones, and I've
made them myself and I've had them done proficiently. But

(01:48:49):
I've fact what I wanted and I've all got names
and yeah, like fire and boots and things like that.

Speaker 14 (01:48:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:48:58):
How many red tattoos have you got?

Speaker 8 (01:49:01):
I've probably got about so one, two, three, four, five,
age nine China, probably about twenty five Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:49:12):
And was and was that I'm trying to think of
the right, was that cathartic? Was there any Was there
any comfort in having rats tattooed for you? Or was
it the pain or was it just something.

Speaker 8 (01:49:24):
I don't I never found it painful because I had
a lot of side effects in my nerve endings don't work,
and so I don't feel a lot of pain. Yeah,
so I'm kind of lucky like that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:38):
But was it about what does it do for you?
Because you must have if you got twenty five, you
must have got one and that was good, and then
you got twenty five, So something must have happened for
you to get all those rats.

Speaker 5 (01:49:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:49:48):
Well, I just like different types of rats. I've got
outlying ones, I've got colored ones, I've got one's pain
in a pond, and then I've got Maldi type cuddle
type shaped ones and and yeah, so they're all different.

(01:50:09):
Do you go to the big one on my chest?
Because I had a double misstick to me four years ago,
so I had a huge one put on my chest.
So there's a big rat hanging off relief, trying to
get something out of a pond and the ponds moving.

Speaker 4 (01:50:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50:26):
Do you go to tattoo shows.

Speaker 11 (01:50:30):
I've been in to do.

Speaker 8 (01:50:31):
Shows, yeah, come second a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (01:50:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50:37):
Is it common to have people there with rats?

Speaker 4 (01:50:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:50:41):
Yeah, there's a lot of people that have rats tatoos.

Speaker 6 (01:50:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:50:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:50:47):
So and I go do sacred, sacred, sacred tatooing and
oh has Aukland. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50:59):
Is it common for people that have had experiences like
you to go towards tattoos.

Speaker 16 (01:51:06):
I know there's some some some.

Speaker 8 (01:51:09):
People that have been abusing here that haven't got any
tattoos at all.

Speaker 5 (01:51:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:51:17):
I suppose it just depends on the person.

Speaker 7 (01:51:19):
I've always liked tatoos.

Speaker 8 (01:51:21):
Yeah, so you know, it was my way of expressing me.
I don't have any on my face, but I have
them all around my neck and down.

Speaker 19 (01:51:33):
To my ankles.

Speaker 3 (01:51:35):
I just remember, this has nothing to do with you.
But since it's do you have watched that program on Hoarders?

Speaker 5 (01:51:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Sometimes, and I always pult harrowing. But there was and
there was one guy and he wasn't it wasn't to
do with hoarding, but it was what but he needed help,
and the help's always hopeless. They always relapse and go
back and fill their house with junk again. But this guy,
his wife had died and the house was quiet and lonely,

(01:52:07):
so he kind of filled the house with rats and
it was unbelieable. There were there were hundreds of them,
but he wanted the comfort, and he wanted the noise
of the people around him, and you know, I just
it just looked like an absolute nightmare. But they got
rid of him, and they got rid of the rets,
and they went year later all back again.

Speaker 5 (01:52:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:52:26):
Yeah, because he's obviously like thrats, but that happens all
over the world, and like it's so hard to get
homes for them because you can't you can't just put
them out and don't just die because they have no
idea how to wild and are completely different.

Speaker 3 (01:52:47):
Yeah, okay, so he got the challenge of getting finding
a place to someone to look after them all you
et you ever got those cartoons of the rats sort
of smoking cigarettes, that famous cards? You even got those
sorts of ones? Have you?

Speaker 6 (01:53:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:53:03):
No? No?

Speaker 2 (01:53:05):
I hate.

Speaker 3 (01:53:08):
Yeah, terrible good luck with all of it. I hope
it all goes well for you, and I hope that
that thank you in that moment. When's that? When does
that happen?

Speaker 8 (01:53:17):
It's on the I'm fighting Wellington on the eleventh, and
then it's on the twelfth, on the Tuesday of November.

Speaker 3 (01:53:24):
Oh, that's only two weeks away.

Speaker 8 (01:53:26):
Yeah, it's only two weeks away. And they're already talking
about payouts now too. They want to get the payouts
as quick as possible. So that'll be good because I've
been fighting.

Speaker 11 (01:53:35):
For that for.

Speaker 3 (01:53:38):
Look, I don't often sing the praises of the National MPs,
but is it Erica Stanford? I thought she came across
quite well on that. She seemed quite fortnight, and she
seemed really onto it, and I thought, go, you, yeah,
that's what I thought. It will be the only first
country in the world to make a payment for torture
or so, I think that was the That would be

(01:53:58):
what she said, isn't.

Speaker 8 (01:53:59):
It Torch is the right word. Yeah, I love it
with a lot of scars from there.

Speaker 3 (01:54:06):
Lovely to talk to you too, Nissa. Thank you so
very much for calling and good luck with that. A
lot of trouble on the Australian Block with one of
the couples flirting with the other person. I've been following
that in the magazines. Goodness me, the things you've got
to do to get people to watch the block season
after season. And what's with the Australian In my kitchen

(01:54:27):
roll they seem to have gone back to the old
judges can't keep up and never watch any of it,
but I'm always curious to know the backstory. That's a sign.
I've got just half an hour left to night. People, rolly,
I'm sure there's no shortage of dogs called Rolly. A

(01:54:51):
good dog to get tattooed would be a Dalmatian, wouldn't it,
especially if you had white skin, because you just do
the dots. Oh in the toes and the feet, in
the arms, one are the dog's arms, other legs, that's right,
the front legs. I have my tortoiseshell cat, my torty

(01:55:14):
cat tatted on my thigh, full body portrait. She's still alive,
but a real special cat to me, so I wanted
to do something before she died. Once she goes, I'll
get another tattoo for her. Maybe her poor print, not sure.
Any who have a good night, Taylor. Thank you Taylor,
double text to you. Where's the When do we see

gone back for. Really does want to miss the party?
And who's that Speare guy that always hangs around Scott
Diessic because he's still hanging around on the outskirts of them.
I love people on Facebook that always celebrate They've never
