Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Marcus slush Nights podcast from News Talks,
it'd be you're trusted Nighttime Talk Marcus slush Knights Call
eight hundred and eighty to eighty News Talks.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It be when who outside to Monday that ens Winna
even more. They maybe time It seems time far away.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
One of the one where ire because I away.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
By your side.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I know seven white rabbits and all that. Welcome to
brand new month, Welcome to brand new quarter of the year.
I guess we can say that part of my thought today.
I have thought with this in it, it's best if
we just had two seasons, summer and winter. What do
we go with four? I think two seasons would be
much better. Some are winter, the other is so kind
of patchy. Anyway, the quake today too, I've just done

(01:21):
touching stuff off before we do go into everyone's got
the updates on that. That was at five forty nine.
If you felt that in seven, if there were things
off the shelves, let us know. I hope they've checked
the railway tracks. I guess they probably have. Let us
know about that. If you experience that that was a
biggie four point nine felt widely felt widely. Even people

(01:44):
in Parliament felt that moderate shaking. Of course, Parliament houses
on bass isolators. I guess that's bits of rubber, eh,
and it vibrates on that. So I will mention that
before we crack it the nuts and bolts of what
we are going to talk about tonight. The other thing too,
by the way, too still for we wet down south,

(02:05):
and I just wonder. I don't know if you're out
there tending your stock. It can't be good for farmers
down south because it's been so wet. I don't know
what farmers are going to do for feed, but there
must be some paddics that are getting a ready, ready
money now if that's to concern. If you've got an
update on that, let me know. I am curious though
by that, because it's just rained and rained and rained
and rained and rained. There was a fine day yesterday,

(02:26):
but the rain is back, so I think that will
become big news for dairy farmers before long because they've
got young I don't know even know where the dairy
farmers are at, but they've got cows with babies and
wet paddocks can't be good, so that might be something
you want to mention also tonight, the way it works
eight hundred and eighty Taddy to call text on nine
two nine two if you've got breaking news, where you

(02:47):
let us know what those breaking news is. Tends to
maly be traffic incidents, accidents, diversions, fires, that sort of stuff,
or earthquakes or meteorites. We had one last night, although
I have got to say they haven't seen any more
reports about that than meteor rite. I tried to get
some reports that, but I haven't seen any more about
it that. The other thing that I can report to

(03:10):
is that as I came to work tonight, I adjusted
my clock in the car, and I calculated that since
two o'clock Sunday morning daylight savings, I've done that in
about twenty four thirty six forty hours, which is a
bit of a personal record for me. So go me

(03:31):
to manage to adjust the time to summer time, because
normally that clock will remain an hour behind forever. Anyway,
So I'm proud of that. I suggest you do the same.
It was wasn't very difficult at all, extremely straightforward, actually,
So there we go. Anyway, Oh, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty and nine nine two detects always up for

(03:52):
your daylight saving as confessions if you are someone that
still has adjusted the car clock. Oh, by the way,
someone rang up last night and they said to me,
can your children tell the time on a clock with hands?
So I said to them before I came out from
to work, and I said, well, last night someone asked
me if I could if you can tell the time

(04:12):
from a clock with hands, and I said you could,
can you? They said yes, We've learned it twice at
school because we have no clock.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
So there we go.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I don't even know if it's worth teaching how to
tell the time with clocks with hands. Does it matter
if no one's got clocks with hands? If there's all
digital anymore? Anyway, I suppose you go down all sorts
of lanes of things we learn at school that you
don't need to learn. I guess it's handy if they're
in London and they see Big Ben or something like that.

(04:43):
Although everyone carries a cell phone with your time and
it now, don't they anyway?

Speaker 6 (04:46):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
So the number eight hundred and eighty ten eighty for
earthquake updates and wet farm updates. I guess if you
could say that that's the two things I am consumed
with the start the whole show tonight. Oh yes, But
if there is breaking news that you've got, let us
know what that breaking news is. I'm all about that
keeping people informed through the next four hours. Mikey Beeben

(05:07):
long after twelve two, Donorie obviously doing the news. Also,
you are up to scratch text it through two if
you felt the quake, Marcus, if we only had two seasons,
the credit House song wouldn't make sense. Someone says we
are in the last days here, we might be minde

(05:30):
how long did the last days go for? I think,
from my knowledge of from my knowledge of the theory
about planets and life on planets and other galaxies, once
intelligent life form begins, then immediately becomes the last days,

(05:55):
because I think they think that all civilizations, once they
get the technology, will wipe themselves out. So it's only
a short amount of time for a sweet spot that
a planet and its lifespan can host life. I'm big
on this as a theory, so I'm going big on
this anyway. Oh, eight hundred eighty eight and eighty ten, ten, ten,

(06:15):
twelve past eight. I do look at a twenty four o'clock.
That's why I sometimes get the time wrong because it
says twenty to twelve and part of my mind where
it sees twenty to twelve. I look at that and
I think, well, that's ten past twelve ten. Anyway, if
you do want to call eight hundred eighty eighten eighty
Marcus Welden on the car clock, I did mine on

(06:37):
Sunday at three point thirty six. World record for me.
The oven and the microwave haven't been done. Probably why well,
I will probably do the microwave because it's easy. Have
to get the book out to do the oven every year? Well,
I would take a screenshot of that. I think you
don't want to change the clock on the oven. In fact,

(06:57):
why have a clock on the oven? Patricia's rung from
the Kapiti coach. She said the earthquake did not feel
too bad. The reporters just look at the scale. If
it's about a five, they think that's important. But Sedan's
always getting quakes. In fact, the quake that destroyed a
lot of Willington was based in Seddin. Anyway, where was

(07:19):
I going with it or the other thing I saw today?
I was watching TV because it was wet, a lot
of chores and here I'm watching TV and they've got
There was an infomercial for a dog chew that was

(07:40):
plastic and you put food with it and it's great
for cleaning your dog's teeth. You just chew it and
as the dog choose that their teeth are cleaned. But
why is not that's something that exists for humans. I'd
be into that, like, rather than cleaning your teeth, having
something that actually cleans your teeth through a chewing motion. Anyway,

(08:04):
So there you go. If your entrepreneur, you couldn't vent
something like that, Although these days we'd probably be concerned
about the microplastics because they're every where now. Isn't it
that you can't go past the newspaper without some scare
article about microplastics? I think our brain is like five
percent microplastics. Anyway, fourteen past eight. My name is Marcus

(08:25):
HITDL twelve. You want to get the whole wall rolling?
Let us know, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine
two nine two de dets. The first question I'd like
to ask, apart from the earthquake and how which your
farm which both stand that are still there as background
topics for tonight, since it's school holidays yay, and since

(08:51):
all of us went to school, just about all of
us went on school holidays. Yeah, what's the sketchiest what's
the sketchiest thing your parents did to you? This was
fair already, that's not quite what I mean, like, because
once upon a time parents were great to just chuck

(09:15):
the kids on a road service bus and send the
length of the holiday to go on length of the
country to got one holily with your grandparents. Did that
happen to you? What's the sketchiest trip on the holidays
they sent you on? Because these days people don't do
it so much, But once upon a time, here's a
couple of comics. Here's fifty dollars, get yourself to pay

(09:36):
here tour. So I want to know the sketchiest trips
your parents sent you on for the holidays unaccompanied? Yeah,
on the tree, you'll have all done one. You've all
gone some great adventures. Stay with Aunt Aunt more Egg
or Grandma Buggles or something like that. So eight hundred

(09:57):
and eighty eight and a text from a viewer or
a list of which I always like Marcus, how often
does an oven need to be cleaned? Question on behalf
of nagging wife. Now, my answer to the oven would be,
it depends on how often you use it. But everyone's

(10:17):
got some information about that. Let me know. Eight hundred
and eighty today. By the way, happy birthday Julie Andrews.
She's eighty nine today. I can't picture at eighty nine?
Was she the singing none? Anyway, that's her, she's And
of course Jimmy Carter, the American President, is one hundred today,

(10:39):
which is remarkable for a one term president. But that's unbelievable,
the longest by a mile. Yeah, he's a hundred. Keep
going and going and going and going and going. Looks
quite different if you look at the photos. Like I

(11:02):
hate to say it, but in the last couple of
years he's aged quite a lot. Him and Dick van Dyk.
There's no surprises there. But is he young? Prisident of course? Anyway,
get in touch. One name's Marcus. Welcome, Oh, eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty the trip, ship trip, the trips
your parents sent you on? Where were they two? The skit? Well,

(11:24):
he does look old. The last photo of him is
at the service of his wife Roslyn Carter, the first lady.
But do come through as I say, oh, eight hundred
eighty eighten eighty nine to nine two to text. Holiday
trips are sketches, journey your parents tend you on and
how often to clean your oven? Marcus I noticed once

(11:48):
if our oven's time has not set, you can't use it.
Got an electrician Ivory set the time and away it went.
He was a nice guy, charged twenty bucks. Didn't know
that you need to have the clock going to use it.
Maybe it just wasn't plugged in anyway. Enough from that
back at you, Oh, let's be hearing from you people,

(12:08):
twenty one past eight. Hope your Tuesday is going well.
I hope your school holidays is going well. Ask you
about the farms and the earthquake, and sudden I'll tell
you what in the earthquake. I love that. It's one
of the best steps there is, that earthquake app where
you go and say if you've felt it or not,
absolutely compelling to see how far away from the earthquake

(12:32):
people feel it. I'm sure it must be a great
deal of use to the seizemologists. Anyway, texts Marcus Classic.
I once what's the documentary about the old USA where
people could post their children to their grandparents. The kids
used to sit in the basket with their name tags
and destination pinned to them and the fee tag tied
to the basket, normally posted on the train with a

(12:56):
care in attendance. Crack up, well, Marcus getting fertilizer as
a problem in the wet can imagine it would be
used to get out on the Newman's Coach every holidays
in Wellington to be sent to Napier. What an adventure
it was. I would have been about nine when I
started doing it. Exciting it was. I don't think people

(13:18):
would send to know you're on on a bus now,
I was always going around the country by bus. Now
for me with a bus trip, I still it's kind
of happ when you've got kids to imagine this. I

(13:40):
still could not believe how unbelievably long those bus trips were.
Is it amazing as a child when time goes so slowly?
For me, those trips were excruciating long, or excruciatingly long anyway.
But Newman's a certainly rings a bell for me. I

(14:00):
think I's always on the Newman's Coach to New Plymouth.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
Loved it.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
But when some days you get from Auckland to Publicura,
I think you almost said, but only just distilled in
the Auckland city Marcus. My parents sent myself and my
sister on a sports trip to the USA for two
weeks at the age of twelve and fifteen. Wow, someone
stole our money on day two of the trip. It's

(14:30):
pretty unbelievable, it said, on your own to the US
of a baseball playoffs tomorrow go the Phillies, Nick, Marcus.
While we're talking about appliances, or not talking about appliance,
as the case may be, we have an induction cook top.
What is shambles of a thing? Glasses broken twice? Nick, Yes,

(14:51):
I do remember going to the home show and seeing
the induction oven for the first time. It looked like
the future. Always slightly cynical about those, easy to clean,
but there was something about it didn't look right. And
now knowing the glass breaks, I'm not a fan of
those anyway. Let's be hearing your people, oh eight hundred
eighty twenty nine to nine two. If I'm not hitting
the spot with the topics, and it's something else your

(15:12):
desperate to talk about, jumping. I'm not proud or shy
of other topics if you've got them, but the sketchy
trips your parents sent you on for the holidays with
no chrishion have cell phones in those days, so if
it came unstuck, you really were. And I don't know
what coming unstuck meant in those days. I kind of think,

(15:34):
probably think in those days things are actually worse with
some of the sketchy things happen. Marcus. Why does the
Auckland Council take two years to apply to an email? Jordan?
I can't answer that, Jordan. That tellim I perve you.
It's not my round. But thanks to as I say,

(15:56):
oh eight hundred eighty Taddy, if you've got travel cup
x rost outs, know how they are going for you? Yeah,
get in touch, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine
to text. A christ resident who lives down a private
driveway is perplexed as to why someone is leaving used
tea bags along the top of his fence. He's a

(16:19):
thirty theater nurse and he's receiving these used tea bags.
M there've been placed, not thrown. I think someone's having
a laugh. Twenty five past eight eight hundred and eighty

(16:39):
ten Eightian nine two nine to the text get in
touch if you're don't to talk. Good evening Joet's Marcus.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
Welcome, Hi Marcus met before.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Phone met or phone met.

Speaker 7 (16:56):
Oh look, I can't say it's confidential.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Okay, understand I know that anyway, I know the place
we're talking about.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
Hey, good man, and yeah, he made an interesting comment
before about humankind blowing themselves up and they get to
a level of technology and it gets tall too much
and they just that probably may not last that long,
maybe two or three hundred years, but once if you
can get a civilization beyond that crucial phase where they
can blow themselves up, and then they stop investing in

(17:25):
that sort of stuff and they invest in super technology
and that's what takes them forward.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
So just to thought, So you think they can get
beyond the blowing themselves up phase, Well, they have to
have to.

Speaker 7 (17:37):
They've got this far and evolution is pretty powerful. It's
got us as far. They've got to get us through
the next two to three hundred years. Beyond that, you'd
like to think that you'd stop doing that sort of stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Maybe, what do you think I think as a percentage
of the life of a planet, the sweet spot where
there's where there's people on it as rivery slim before
they do blow themselves up.

Speaker 7 (17:58):
Yeah, But the thing is they'll only blow themselves up
in a window relatively short maybe a few hundred years.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
But you don't suddenly, you know, certainly not doing a second.
But you don't lose the technology to blow your civilization.
And they could be bad actors. I'm getting stressed out now.

Speaker 7 (18:15):
It always oh, look much if you've got to relax
about this, we're not going to be it's not going
to be our problem.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Okay. With someone text saying at the end days Scott Marcus, welcome,
are you god? Ten? Ten out of ten.

Speaker 8 (18:28):
Whether it's good Farman Cannabres.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Is dry the ch okay?

Speaker 8 (18:33):
Yeah, and the induction the induction think they're great, but
a hell of a lot of You have got a
direct color wide straight for the switchboard? Really yeah, because
they can boil a pot of watering my hunger a minute.
They're incredible, but they draw a heat.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Are you looking at a drought?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (18:57):
Canterbres really dry?

Speaker 9 (18:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (18:58):
Everybody?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Okay, because Southland is this we Southland I think said
three times of September rain in September the nor well,
it's unbelievably wet. Yeah, we at Okay, do you need
any dairy grazing? I think the mind Okay, just offering,

(19:21):
thanks Scott being Marcus welcome, you get it.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
Marcus, I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago
about I had a tie blow out just outside of Gore.
I hit a pothole, and.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
You're going to sue that. You're going to try and
sue the road people.

Speaker 11 (19:35):
Yeah, a claim. I put it in, A put on
a claim to the transport agency and I had to
go take the vehicle and then get it checked by
a mechanic. They asked me to take it too, and
that and good news, Marcus. Money helped my bank account
this afternoon.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Because you went to Gore when they charged your six
hundred or something for you that your bearings were done
or something.

Speaker 12 (19:56):
Is that right?

Speaker 11 (19:57):
But I didn't never end up getting the ball joint
done because the order and it's got the tie replaced
and drove home with the balljoint. Not right, but you
know it, man said, I be account. The actual appeal
was done last week. But yeah, I'm just meaning the
listeners know if you put in a claim and actually works,
it just takes a few weeks.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
And the website had the claim form, didn't they We
looked at that, is that right?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Ye?

Speaker 13 (20:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (20:22):
Them?

Speaker 11 (20:23):
Yeah. I actually rung them up the next day, just.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Thing on their ben, don't go away because because I
thought you were. I thought you were in lala land
when you ran me their day, and I think that's
an important lesson for all of us. So do come
through if you want to talk, go eight hundred and eighty,
but don't you go anywhay, Ben. I'll come back to
after the heads So I'd like to hear more from
you about this half pass dak dono Marie headlines please
thanks done? Yeah, just back to your ben. How much

(20:46):
was the bill five hundred? Did you say?

Speaker 11 (20:49):
It come to six hundred and seven? So there's how
much they paid out. It was a little bit more
than that, but they would they would only pay for
seven things.

Speaker 15 (21:00):
So yeah, they did they.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
Look at Did they look at the pictures of the
Was it a known pot hold to them?

Speaker 16 (21:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (21:09):
Apparently they had been out to check. That's why that
cone was there. But I thought someone had just put
the cone there there was one cone there. Yeah, And
they wouldn't say whether they should have put speed reductions
in place or anything, but they I thought they came
on the website rung on the next day and then
someone called me back later that day, and then they

(21:31):
sent me a follow up email and then I had
to take it to a mechanic that they asked me
to take it to and got the quote from here,
and then I ended up getting a repair done, paying
for it and I had to send them through the receipt.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Great.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
That's a good story.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Ben.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
Just remind us why you hit it despite the cone.

Speaker 11 (21:48):
It was you coming up just out of Gore and
you sort of come around to bend onto a bridge
and that's where the pothole is and there was one
cone like towards the side of the bridge, and you
didn't see the pothole until you're on top of it.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
Got great advice, But that's probably one of the most
useful things of every heod On talk is someone finding
and get your if there's bad potholes, you get your
car fixed. That's brilliant and legend for hanging on over
the heads too. Ben boy Boy twenty eight to nine
Trips Away with your grandparents where you got sent the oven?
A lot of oven talk, Marcus. Our oven is extraordinary dirty,

(22:25):
So I suggest to my wife we should get a
professionally clean She refused, is that it was too dirty?
Should since you be embarrassed, have someone see it that way?
Can't when I'm with her, You know what, the community
knowing you've got a filthy oven, don't you just get missed?
I think, oh yeah, i'd get missed them. I don't know,

(22:45):
I don't know. I I don't like inhaling that stuff.
Oh yeah, what happened to the self cleaning oven? Was
that a thing? Anyway? I'm mainly interested in pot well,
I'm mainly interested in the extraordinary journeys your parents sent
you on unaccompanied in the school. Was always the great
fun of the August and May holidays you got sent

(23:06):
miles away. Marcus. The idiots need to calm the jets,
so they're going to open a can of worms of war.
Marcus remembered the old adage the summer tramping. Tramping season
runs from October the twelfth to May the fifth. Marcus,
We've always had a backwards clock with hands in the kitchen.

(23:30):
It just became second nature. When our son left home,
so brought him one. Is that a clock that's supposed
to be in the mirror, Marcus, will I understand there's
only one person will know the end of the earth
that it isn't man, Marcus. Dad used to use a
Jack Hammond to decarbonize our kill and after Mum's gin

(23:52):
and tonic scones when awry. What's going to happen to
the railway tracks? One thousand years time? Marcus? Childhood bus
trips were seventy endless. But like your program sees the
text number with all the sevens in it, get in touch,
oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine to nine to

(24:13):
the text, come on, must be hearing from you white
rabbits and.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
All of that.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
I don't think. I think I might be saying that
a bit late today. Actually, by the way, if you
want to have a bang at superstitions as well superstitions,
I could please to say that I'm not superstitious about anything.
I don't think, having thought about that on the drive
and also tonight bang away we go. Can't believe that

(24:41):
guy got his money paid for seems so sketchy. Didn't
see the pothole? Oh, well I never knew that you
go and claim is it too? We will all pay
for it? Goodness me yep, anyway, do get in touch.

(25:03):
Oh eight hundred eighty eight ten, eight nine nine to
the text. Who let's be hearing from you eight hundred
and eighty to Saturday of the news that you need
to be shared shared with told about, but let's be

(25:23):
hearing from you. There's been a workplace extant in Auckland.
Construction worker has been hospitalized in Ipsom. Seems to be
a private residence that someone there is working on. So
that's news just through Also tonight twenty five to nine
catch your soon. Either's breaking news. I can tell you too.
That the PlayStation goes down. There's been a globe there's

(25:44):
been a global global outage for PlayStation. What that would
be seems to be a new stuff to me. It's
not good in the school holidays. The companies that was
having problems across model areas including account management, gaming and social,
PlayStation video and PlayStation store. So there we go. That's

(26:08):
happening certainly in Australia and New Zealand and I guess
the other parts of the world, but they probably haven't
woken up the yet global outage. People are not able
to sign in or create accounts for the PlayStation network,
launch games, get PlayStation video Coonic, or buy products of
the PlayStation store. Don't know if that be atecting affecting

(26:28):
our audience, not like when Coronation Street doesn't screen, but
still putting it out their lines three twenty two to nine.
I want to know the epic journeys your parents sent
you on unaccompanied in the school holidays where they bang
you on a bus to go Marcus. Wish i'd known
this about n z TA lost two by four hundred

(26:50):
dollars new ties to potholes. Also a road superstition, always
turned back the other way if I see a black
cat run across the road, Marcus. Our oven has a
self cleaning function, but I'm told you have to take
the door off and do our whole host of other
things to it before you actually use it. Then once

(27:11):
it's done the cycle, you can't use it for a
day or so. We got it during COVID times. Haven't
been brave enough to try it. Very weird item, Marcus.
When I was thirteen went to a Pentecostal church youth group.

(27:32):
My mother thought they were weirdos, but still let me go.
My two friends and I were invoted to travel from
the top of the South to a church and needing
to sing. We went with four or five adults in
a combe van for a long week hed My parents
never met any of the adults. They just let me go. Jeepers.
We stayed with people in christ Church and donedan. It

(27:53):
was fine, But I think about it now, I can't
believe they let me go. Arrived home all God, they
weren't bothered. Marcus, my PlayStation two still working perfectly fine.
I don't know what they're on about. And someone says, Marcus,
what started this day in nineteen eighty six in New Zealand.

(28:14):
That's a good question. If anyone can tell me what started?
I know the answer because she sent it. What started
this day in nineteen eighty six? It's a really good question.
Now I can't fully remember my experiences of it. Don't
google it. If you do, no ring up and let

(28:35):
me know. That's October the first, nineteen eighty six. Wow,
I wouldn't have known if I wasn't reminded. Nineteen to nine,
Marcus till twelve, get in touch this day nineteen eighty six.
It's not daylight saving. You got me scared to say

(28:59):
the yes on that now, But this day, nineteen eighty six,
I wouldn't have got that. I don't think Marcus. Seriously, Marcus,
get over your oven pride. My oven was disgusting, but

(29:19):
I was desperate, and I have a clean oven, clean
it for every six months, life changing. I haven't got
any pride about the oven. I just don't think that
guy should get something to clean. If his wife's worried
about it, we're off doing a pre clean himself. It's Marcus, Bob.

Speaker 17 (29:36):
Here's it going, Marcus?

Speaker 5 (29:37):
Good?

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Thank you, Bob. How's it going with you?

Speaker 18 (29:39):
All right?

Speaker 17 (29:39):
I haven't spoken to you for a while. Yep, Yeah,
things are moody.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
HICKEU good, Thanks.

Speaker 12 (29:48):
I'm.

Speaker 16 (29:50):
Good.

Speaker 17 (29:51):
Otherwise known as blend.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Them yeah, or Beaver Town.

Speaker 17 (29:56):
No, I'll forget about that.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
It was called.

Speaker 17 (30:01):
I know the other word for beaver.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
It was called beaver to hang on, hang on. It
was called be the town, wasn't it.

Speaker 17 (30:07):
Yeah, they've got a couple of cast bronze or brass
beavers down by the Taylor River.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
It was a strange name to call it. Wasn't it. Yeah,
there's no beavers in this country.

Speaker 17 (30:23):
But then Canada, the word beaver means something else, don't
you know.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
But we know that it's it's not the double on
Tundra hour. But it wasn't called the beaver Town. It
was called the beaver Town because of I think the
fact that it was like it would be damned or something.

Speaker 12 (30:45):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (30:48):
You got me there, haven't you know? I've got the outside,
have you really?

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Probably early on set.

Speaker 17 (31:00):
I'd say, so, never mind, we've all got such sam syndrome.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
They say some crossed to beer anyway.

Speaker 17 (31:08):
Yes, ten to six though, Marcus, I was on my
park bench and I felled a sharp jolt.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Of course, So what's your park bench?

Speaker 17 (31:20):
Well, I don't have a specific park bench, but it's
by State Highway one, and I thought, is that a
truck lose the you know, a jolt? It was nothing, really,
a short, sharp jolt, nothing like the Kaikaa quake.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Did you did you hide under the bench?

Speaker 17 (31:46):
Hell no, I'm not that bloody yellow.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Nice to hear from you, Bob, Thank you. Sixteen to
nine nine text catch oh hey, fourteen to nine beneath
it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (32:02):
I might just tell you thank you Bene good and
machas been jez t Chaman.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
I've got no Have you got recollection of it?

Speaker 20 (32:13):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (32:14):
I do, because my husband was so employed and I
did his box and gest drove me crazy mention.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Why can't I remember it? Did it all happen the
same and everything became ten percent more expensive? It must
have happened like that, didn't it.

Speaker 19 (32:33):
Yes, but it sort of happened overnight.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
Maybe I was in Australia.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Could I think?

Speaker 4 (32:40):
I think I probably was.

Speaker 19 (32:44):
That they had past over there.

Speaker 6 (32:46):
Don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yes, I wasn't there when it came, and I wasn't
there for they have vet or something, and I wasn't
there for sort of the excitement in the TV campaigns
and the sort of the bells and whistled and the yeah, okay,
did you get it sus to your husband?

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Sorry that I want.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Did you manage to sort it out?

Speaker 6 (33:03):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (33:04):
Yeah, Once I got my head around and sort of
stopped resenting the fact that I was a tax collector
for the government, it was actually quite simple.

Speaker 21 (33:17):
What did you lasting?

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Well, I haven't thought of you. I mean jeap as
Creepers was a big because then it went to twelve
and a half percent. Now it's fifteen percent, Is that right?

Speaker 20 (33:26):
I think so?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah, I think so probably seem to go to twenty
you got no recollection of it. Must have happened. Were
people out buying things beforehand? I suppose there was an
orgy of consumerism with people buying goods beforehand.

Speaker 19 (33:42):
I'm not certain. I know that he got a lot
of calls to get work done, pryor to it coming
in because people seemed to think that next forteen percent
was going to be cryptling financially, and I don't think
we ever got the advantages that we were told we

(34:04):
were going to get.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
The Okay, okay, what was your husband's business?

Speaker 19 (34:14):
He was a mechanic. He owned a couple of seeded
stations with mechanical work at chech So yeah, I mean
he was always very busy, but just prodigies. She coming in,
he was ultra busy.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
It was eighty six and increased it in nineteen eighty
nine to twelve point five. Yeah, in the national fifteen percent,
and John Key did in twenty ten.

Speaker 19 (34:49):
Yeah, John, she was the one who put it up
to fifteen.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Thas you don't remember either in twenty ten. I think
I was in Australia there. Okay, oh, good to hear
from you, Bunny, thank you. Someone else might remember that.
Someone might have been in retail. Was there a buying
extravaganza before it came in? They probably would have been.
I can see the ads now beat the GST by
your oven, buy your color TV, buy your dishwasher. I

(35:14):
need some good texts. I'll get to those in two
texts ten to ten to nine, not for you, caring
ten to eight for you. It doesn't feel kind as
exciting as pound chilling and pence or decimal currency, or
we went to the kilograms. But your GST eighty six
rent Marcus welcome.

Speaker 14 (35:32):
Oh yeah you Marcus for GST. Not everything went up
on price, they came down on price.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Wow you tell me about that?

Speaker 14 (35:42):
God, yes, because there was a I think from memory,
forty percent sales tax on sporting goods. And I remember
a week or two beforehand, I was looking at this
new rifle I wanted to buy in a sports shop,
and then the GST came in and it was fifty

(36:03):
or sixty dollars cheaper after g TEA came in, so at.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
The same time they removed a lot of terriffs, did they.

Speaker 14 (36:11):
Ah, well, there was a sales tax on sporting goods.
I was living in hawks By at the time, and
there was a boat building in Napier who who built
aluminium boats, small ones, and he was so so busy,
and the moment GEST was dropped, he was flat out

(36:34):
because instead of people paying forty percent sales tax, they
paid ten percent GEST instead, so they basically dropped.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Wow, okay, it's unbelievable that have a sale because there
must have be a sales text on caravans and all
sorts of stuff too, wasn't there so you'd pay you'd
pay forty on sporting god as a text.

Speaker 14 (36:56):
Yeah, it was on sport That was all I remember
on sporting goods. And I think it varied. So definitely
your groceries would have gone up ten percent, no doubt
about that. I don't know about fuel, petrol sort of stuff,
but certainly sporting goods and other things would have varied.
There was the government was getting tax, and not just
by p a y but all sorts of means in

(37:17):
sales Texas model and then they just said, no, it's
going it's going to be goodbody and put DST on it,
and so a lot of things came down in price.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
So that wasn't just important sporting goods. Any sporting cords
would have a sales text of Yes, I.

Speaker 14 (37:32):
Was saying this, this boat building Napier who built aluminium boats.
He made them in Napier, but they were using a
mate probably the aluminum Sheety imported. He brought that from
a supplier. But he built the boats. And then when
he sold a boat, if he sold a boat for
ten grand, four grand of it was tax. But then

(37:55):
gest came in and uh, you know it was it
was cheaper. It was three grand cheaper, not four grand,
because tem percent was jes so both would have gone
from ten grand as hivvy green.

Speaker 15 (38:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
And I presume a firearm was the sporting text as well,
because it was a sporting item.

Speaker 22 (38:16):
Was that right, yeah?

Speaker 14 (38:17):
Yes, right, yeah, I remember, I remember I was I
was buying a rifle and I was looking at it,
and I was a young bloke at the time, and
I was looking at it and then don't think I
can afford those? And then she came in and went
back and I said, oh cheap in the blows, that's right.
Sporting decks as go just tings teen Now I'll buy it.
I bought them so so aga. That was just my hell.
It effected me. The guy made a sale and so things.

(38:41):
Things actually boosted in the economy.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
For that reason, we forget about that. I can't you
still got that firearm? Have your bread not chicken?

Speaker 14 (38:47):
I hold it decades ago. I got a new one.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
Nice to hear from your bread. Some good text I'll
get to those y p I a it talk about
so I'll be very interesting about it. And it doesn't
sound into it. It be fair because I mean I
remember Muldoon brought in the caravan texts. I think I
remember that rightly. That was sort of destroyed oat to
the Honga, didn't it. That's where they make That's where
they make caravans wiped out the industry? Did it famous?

(39:13):
Kind of a thing?

Speaker 5 (39:15):
That was?

Speaker 4 (39:22):
And seventy ninety temps to increase text review by living
in ten to twenty percent on wide range of goods
between petrol, lawnmowers, caravans and boats. Wow, but sporting goods.
I don't know the history of that levy. Do you
call it a levy or a text tax?

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (39:43):
Do it?

Speaker 2 (41:17):

they maybe time the same time? Fine word.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
One of the one where ire because I away.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
By your side?

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Well, thank you for the person that pointed it out.
It is the anniversary day of GST in this country
from nineteen eighty six. But what's interesting from the text,
and it sort of goes against logic, but most things
after the introduction of GST became cheaper because there were
sales tax on so many products. I don't know much

(42:22):
about that because I've forgotten it, and I guess in
nine ninety six, probably I was in a situation where
I was buying boats or caravans, and I don't know
how long those sales taxes had been on products. I
imagine a while. So GST comes in, most things become cheaper,

(42:47):
well not most things, but a lot of things become cheaper.
So if you want to comment on that, in the
start of GST, what a lot of fair thing around.
It was you for a self employed business person. I
am keen for that discussion this day in nineteen eighty six,
no idea. I've never spoken about GSD and went up
twice subsequently to twelve and a half percent. There to
fifteen percent. Suppose it could go up again. No talk

(43:09):
of it. They don't want to alarm you. And the
other topic too, the school holiday related topic is the
great jouney your family. Your parents sent you solo for
your school holiday, put you on a bus, push on
a plane, and sent you where they probably wouldn't do
it so much these days. Yes, you got a story

(43:31):
about that'd be nice to hear fro you. I'll get
to the texts if you want to talking about the
quake that happened. Always good to hear about that. That
was the four point nine and seven. Quite shallow.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
I think.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
That's quite quite shallow too. So here we go, here
we go. Oh wait, tell an eight Teddy and nine
two nine to the text with him for twelve. I'll
keep you updated for the other news that happens throughout
the next three hours. Mikey beeben Long from twelve Yep,

(44:02):
A lot of people picked it was GST happened on
this day? The few people thought it was lotto or
civil union, which is interesting, Marcus. I think the answer
ninety six is Loto chairs, Karen Marcus. On this day
ninety six, was it gay rights legalized? Or did Chrisco start?

Speaker 11 (44:25):
No?

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Was it the Gulf War?

Speaker 3 (44:30):
No?

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Some great texts. I will go to those GST. This day,
someone's asking about how often you should clean your oven,
I'd say how often you use it? Marcus. Because my
parents lived and worked in Auckland to get me and

(44:52):
my sister through boarding school. Hang, I'm just my I'll
tell you one thing. I'll tell you what's happened to
me is my headphones have come out, which is not
a big deal. But beforehand they came out, I turned
the volume way up and nothing was not that I
realized my jack was out supported in with a head
I just about blasted my ears. Very unpleasant. Now I

(45:15):
fixed it. Now that's much better. I can hear my
own voice. Here we go, Marcus. My parents lived with
in Orkland to put me and my sister through boarding school.
I had to bust from Taoti College up to my
grandparents just passed Morreery northern Hawkes Bay, where I'd meet
up with my sister four times a year. Our Nan
loved her kinnect connects, especially wind chimes. By the time

(45:38):
we headed back to school, I distillitated all forty eight
of them. When she passed, she clicked it over two hundred.
I've kept one as a memento for my name. And
I hate wind chimes. Mac. I'm just trying to think
whether I hate wind chimes or not. I think I'm
wind chime neutral. Marcus, you are incorrect. We do have
a native beaver. It has not been cited for many years.

(46:00):
Thank you. Marcus went for holiday to my aunt and
uncles in colverd and I was eleven and my sister
would have been eight. I remember Mum dressing us the
same new trousers made on the sewing machine, matching hand
knitted yellow cardigans, shiny black patent ly the shoes matching matching,
of course, all the way from Graymouth to Colvid and

(46:21):
on the bus two weeks in home. Great adventure Marcus
nineteen sixty four to thirteen year old flew on my
own from Dunedin to Wellington and DC three. That'll be
my mona, I guess half a day weight in the
old tin shed tumbler Wellington then flew on to New

(46:43):
Plymouth in a dominee, bounced off the grass one way
at New Plymouth four times before grinding to a halt.
Summer holiday working on a dairy farm milking thread of
cows and haymaking. Brilliant holiday. Marcus just finished a pass
to making class. That was great thanks from Brenda. Here's

(47:04):
my texta that night. Hi Marcus, whereabouts is that large
pothole near Gore? Thank you Mark? I think it was
pook it. Oh, I think it was somewhere near there, Marcus.
When I was eight, my mother put me on a
plane to see family in Perth. Unaccompanied mine and they

(47:26):
put stickers all over me. This was nineteen ninety nine.
Get to sit in the airport. It's late. Hostess puts
me in a room behind check and and bise McDonald's.
About three hours later, eight year old me his final
boarding school for flight boarding. Call for flight whatever it was,
long story short of quick glance at my own ticket

(47:47):
that was my flight tug this good at the hostess,
she shrieked and they rushed me to the plane that
was ten seconds off the gate closing close call. But
fun for me are j so GST and school holiday
trips you got sent on solo and cleaning an oven.
That's all from me. There might be your own topics
or something. There are topics. Use these particularly well the

(48:10):
jeers tell me about. There must have been duty on everything.
So when GST came on, things got cheaper. Who knew?
I had no idea. That's caravans and stuff A fourteen
past nine. I'm Marcus, welcome O WA eight one hundred

(48:31):
eighty twenty nine two nine two is the text number
of your headle twelve. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yeah,

haven't really paid too much attention about that. But let's
be hearing from you. If there's something else you want
to mention, Also to I will keep you updated with
the news. There was an earthquake of five and there

(49:15):
Sidden felt wide he felt and hawks Bay felt in
Taranagy felt about who fell on the west coast of
the South Island. So that has been felt widely. No surprises,
there was a big quake. I love the app we
can go and report the quake. But yeah, fancy things

(49:40):
getting cheap. Ha I didn't realize that firearms all sorts
of stuff anyway, do get in touch of you want
to add to this, particularly your scool, particularly anything actually
liking your school holiday stories. I just like the fact
that people kind of put you on three busses, send
you off with a pack lunch with three busses, and

(50:00):
you'd get there none the wiser. So that's just something
you might want to talk about also too, whew what
else will oh? And me with a record time for
adjusting my clock for daylight savings today on the car
on the way? I'm happy with that. And the other

(50:21):
thing too. You get choose for dogs for their teeth.
Do those for humans? That'll be a great thing, they say,
chewing garb, But I think it's that good for teeth.
That'll be a big marketing chance for someone. I reckon teeth.
Choose for adults or humans? Humans. I guess we'll call them. Yeah,

(50:50):
there we go, we're away. Good evening, Matthew, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 18 (50:55):
Hi, how are you doing, Marcus?

Speaker 23 (50:56):
Good?

Speaker 4 (50:56):
Thank you math Let me put my headphones on. Nice
to hear from you.

Speaker 18 (51:00):
Yeah, that's first time caller.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
Oh good, Yes, they're welcome. Nice to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (51:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (51:05):
I remember when I was living in New Zealand younger
and seeing you on the TV and that. So I
just thought i'd call tonight to tell you a couple
of the stories about how I got put on a
bus to several places, one being from christ Church to
in Vicargol, and I think it was it was two
or three buses to get down there. Anyways, my aunt

(51:27):
was Robin Broughton, who is the coach of the netball
and so my mom used to put me on a bus.
We got I think we went down the coast of Dunedin.
I got off there, hopped on another bower, got got
set set for a while and then got another bus
I think down to it was close to in Vicargol,

(51:48):
and then and down to in Vicargol. But but yeah,
back in back in those days. I'm fifty one now,
but you know, back in the those late eighties, lots
of my you know, kids my age would be put
on the bus or train or what have you, especially
like North Island wise and uh, and we would we
would do the two or three stops and go to

(52:11):
our destinations. And it might have might have been to
family or you know, the cousins or what have you.
But that was it sort of seemed normal.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
Yeah, we probably was normal, I guess. And you guys
weren't reluctant in that, were you.

Speaker 18 (52:23):
Sorry, We weren't reluctant.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
You're quite happy to do it.

Speaker 18 (52:27):
Oh yeah, I mean we kind of. We we got
a bag of a bag of lollies and and you know,
a couple of sandwiches, and you know, you'd get told,
you know, you'd get off, get off when you arrive
here and you'd have to get on another bus. But yeah, no,
we we didn't really treat it as as anything out
of the ordinary.

Speaker 11 (52:45):
It was.

Speaker 18 (52:46):
It was it was pretty much like back in the
day where we would ride to ride to school and
I rode quite a long ways to get to school
from my home and even in christ Church, and and
would leave it a quarter to eight in the morning
and arrive home after rugby or tennis or what have
you at six or seven at night. And I don't
I don't think that the parents thought anything, that there

(53:07):
was any anything weird about that. It was just the
day to day stuff and then the holidays you'd usually go,
you know, go to your to the cousins or what
have you. And yeah, it was it was good times.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
Nice to hear from you, Mathew. Thank you so much. Jimm.
AT's Marcus. Good evening, Hi Jim.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Hi Marcus. I've got a bit of a story about
Chris Thomson. No my day late, but I couldn't get
on last night. Are you interested in hearing it?

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Absolutely? Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (53:36):
Yeah, well.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
Ye wondering if we didn't hear it, wouldn't we so
you can?

Speaker 5 (53:42):
I think it was last year was Willie Nelson's ninetieth birthday.
It might have been the year before. The years go
so quickly now and it's all on YouTube. Willie's birthday
went all weekend and Roseanne Cash brought him along and
you could see the way she brought to Chris along

(54:05):
and he was very frail, and he's looking very old,
because you would have been eighty five or eighty six,
and you could see the way she was looking at
him like a loved uncle, which he probably would have been,
because like he would have been like an uncle because
he was her father's mate, you know. And anyway, they

(54:28):
sang and she carried him and he lost his voice,
but anyway, she wouldn't take her arms. She hugged him
the whole time. And it was very touching to see
how much loved Roseanne Cash had for him. And another

(54:50):
show I saw on YouTube was there was a tribute
to Johnny Cash and there was a black tie event,
and it was quite a few years ago because Chris
grew Doobinson was looking really handsome, and he was dressed
in the black seas and the bow tie. And he
comes out on the stage and it's it's the president.

(55:12):
The president was there, Bill Clinton, and he addresses the crowd.
He says, mister Cash, mister President, that's how it should be.
And Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton laughed his head, laughed his
head off and thought that was great. And and Johnny
Cash's other great mate was down the end. Haggle was it.

(55:43):
Merl Haggard was up there and the audience dressed to
the nines, but away with the fairies. He obviously had dementia,
and they dressed him all up when he was sitting
up in the audience near the president and he was
looking at a million dollars in the top right. I
think he even had the top hat on. But he
was away with a very complete different university. But anyway,

(56:07):
I just thought, it's all on YouTube, all what stuff?

Speaker 4 (56:10):
Yeah, listen, And what I didn't realize. I was listening
to one of the reports on the way home last
night that Christosofts had been to Oxford and he had
tried to become a popular singer of pop singer. That
didn't work. Then he went to the Air Force and
learned to be a helicopter pilot. But he really got
his debut. He was at a folk festival and June,
Carter Cash and Johnny Cash were performing and they called

(56:32):
him on stage because I think they knew his you know,
the songs had written. He was re very nervous and
he went on stage and performed with him. So the
Kesh's Johnny Kesh and Drink, Carter Cash and of course
Roseen Cash are they very much a big part of
his career.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
Oh very much so. And of course he was in
that highway man. Yes, because the group they put together
fairly late in the event. But that was Johnny Cash
and Whalen Jennings, Chris Christofferson and Willie Nelson. Yes, yeah,
and Will he's still alive. Will he's over ninety now
and apparently he's having his lungs rebuilt, some multi million

(57:10):
dollar job they're building. The doctors are trying to make
up for all the cigarette small ups that you know.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's extraordinary. Jim, I've got to run,
but nice to talk. Thanks for that. Twenty three past nine.
But of everything tonight, it's got its own form the show.
I'm liking that a lot. Let's be hearing from you, oh,
twenty five past nine. A lot of texts. I'll get
to those. Also, if you've got calls, be through with those.
Eight hundred and eighty. Also GST, the first day of GST.
Who remembers that because actually things got cheaper. I had

(57:42):
no idea because all the sales textes came off sales
texts on sporting goods. Well, that would do for a country,
A country's fitness seems bizarre, doesn't it? Those highly regulated
economies because they worked for a while Marcus gst came

(58:10):
in this time at eighty six six months out of
the first warehouse launched its opening in Auckland, Tuckapooona and
open yous it up to parallel importing. Wasn't there weeks
of anti perilm porting on talkbic. I've never really remembered
about perilm. That does come up from time to time.

(58:32):
Some great texts. They'll get to those if you want
to talk twenty six past nine. But you've been sent
away for the school holidays on your own where we
are seen and how did they send you? The sketchiest
trips are the ones I like, guess in country towns,
you know road service buses. Marcus, I felt the earthquake

(58:57):
and a wrong iti in Wellington. I was in the
burger fish and chip shop when it rumbled through. I
looked at the official looking bit of pay but taped
to the window saying the building is an earthquake risk. Thought,
am I out a habit, stayed, but the burger was
good at rock my World brilliant. I had to stay
in a burger place. If you're waiting for food when

(59:19):
the quake comes, Yeah, Jim.

Speaker 15 (59:23):
Yeah to Marcus who is paying Marcus Jim, how are
you good things?

Speaker 5 (59:29):
Jim?

Speaker 15 (59:32):
I want some breaking news. Deb and ZE apparently are
going to be announcing a big loss next week.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
Have they already announced it this year?

Speaker 20 (59:44):
This is another one?

Speaker 15 (59:46):
Yeah, and be cullings journalists. The news is in the
ship's right, in the poop. And apparently if every New
Zealander gave twenty dollars twenty to forty dollars a year

(01:00:07):
towards TV and Z, that would pay for double their
operating costs for all the entertainment and all the news.
And and I think it's a real shame if we
lose our news.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
I don't think we're going to lose that news. I
think it's it's government mandated to provide that we've got
the emporte. Where have you got the.

Speaker 24 (01:00:26):
Well?

Speaker 15 (01:00:26):
I can't mark us. I can't tell you that. Maybe
I can't reveal the source.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
No, but I mean it's probably it's probably not nice
for reporters to people speculating that they're going to be
losing their jobs, because I don't know if those decisions
would be made it would they.

Speaker 18 (01:00:42):
Oh well, I.

Speaker 15 (01:00:44):
Think they can help by the sound of it. Okay,
And apparently the apparently the government doesn't care about the news,
you know, they just want the TV company to make
a profit.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
And yeah, I'm sure that's part of the charter of
what TV did has but I'm sure hang on talking.
I'm sure that's part of the chart of what TVENT
is supposed to do. They have to provide the news,
that's kind of what they're about. It's a state broadcaster, yes.

Speaker 15 (01:01:11):
But if they can't pay for it, how are they
going to do it. It's the it's the trouble, you know,
when they can have apparently a thirty million dollar loss.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Okay, you do you work in the industry? Do you
work in the do you work in the industry, Jim.

Speaker 15 (01:01:31):
No, no, no, no, I'm I'm I'm spying from as
an uber driver.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
Okay, oh okay, that well, that would be that would
pan out then if you're hearing that in the back
of an uber thank you, that's good, intell. I do
appreciate that. We'll see if that pans out back at
your people, just coming up to the headlines if you
want to talk afterwards. I like that everyone's trying to
get hit to that pothole to get the claim for
the new tires. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine

(01:02:01):
to nine to text hap pass nine donomine headlines thanks
to Namuary twenty nine away from ten. Get through the text.
There's a lot of them and I'll just start at
the bottom and go up because he's a good mister Lush.
I was five years old and said to Mana Nui

(01:02:21):
to stay with my great Auntie Bobby for a week
or so. Remember watching the steam train hauling on the
main traink Line can still recall, recall the forlorn sound
of the engine and the still of the night bit
spooky even today, sixty years on. I got beasting and
cried for home. So home it was gaz oh yes,

(01:02:42):
the horn on the steam train at night. Marcus just
driving from christ Church to blend him through said and
no shaking. It's all good, Marcus. I was eleven and
nineteen fifty five my parents are put on a road
service bus from Carwado to dang it Ity in the
school holidays. I loved it on the farm. The last
time I went was because my moment to go to hospital.

(01:03:04):
She died while I was there. I would have loved
to stand on the farm with my arm, but was
sent back to Coldo with my father. This text. I like, Marcus,
forty five minutes in the car to work this morning,
thirty minutes to get home. My passenger wife still hasn't
managed to adjust the clock to.

Speaker 5 (01:03:21):
The car.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
Was shot her phone. Marcus loved going on the train
from y Pukao to Gisbon to stay with my great
aunt Bess, who drank half a bottle of Scotch a day,
smoked menthol and drove her old smoked the menthol and
drove her old green holding with seats that moved to
the tab. I traveled alone over the Morehaker via doctor.

(01:03:44):
Remember coming out of a tunnel on to a cliff edge,
looking straight out to sea. There'd be the Kopohafra, would it. Marcus,
the thirteen year old, was putting a train Willington to
tay Happy, picked up my friend and my mum's and
a week on a farm up the Gentle Annie, which
was unsealed. Then we're at an airport in January nineteen

(01:04:10):
ninety one in northern Mexico when we were told that
Iraq had invaded Kuwait. We were told the USA were
closing all the borders so were the last on the
plane across the Mexican UIs border. We're living California at
the time. That's from Mary twenty seven to ten. We
are talking when GSD came on this day in nineteen
eighty six. Yeah, we are also talking about the sketchy

(01:04:39):
journeys you got sent on on your own during school holidays,
especially once when you've got to travel flip between buses
at the christ Church bus terminal or something like that.
They're the stories I want, getting lost, the fear, no
cell phone to text home, not arriving. Sure there's some

(01:05:01):
great stories. Sure there's some heroing stories. Let's not have
those and GST and all the situation with the tariffs,
which you forget what I forget about. By the way,
there's a pill for snoring to stop What do you
want to take a pill to stop snoring? How would

(01:05:23):
it work? Yeah, there are pills to stop snoring. Now,
I don't know how they would work, but someone might
want to talk about that. It's called salty arm salty armey,

(01:05:51):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 7 (01:05:55):
For.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
Drug works by inhibiting an enzyme called carbonic anahydras, which
is extremely abundant the human body. It's located in the
bloodst teams saliva sell wolves. By dampening down the end zyme.
It helped to stop muscles around the throat from collapsing
and keep the upper earway open at night. Might be

(01:06:17):
quite good when you're staying at the tramping hut or something,
and then when I wake up the others could be
a life changer. Twenty five to ten had or twelve. Oh,
good evening, Craig, it's Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:06:29):
Welcome, Yes, good ending, Marcus. It's Craig from christ Church here.
Probably remember me as a maccarno man, but I won't
go into that unless you want to. I just wanted
to mention about nineteen seventy two, my Auntie shouting me
up to Napier. We got aboard the Mary here in

(01:06:50):
Lyttleton and christ Church didn't arrive in Wellington for about
six in the morning, and then we had to rossh
Over have a breakfast at Wellington station. And in those
days you had a real breakfast, you know, and there
was club sandwiches. It was absolutely beautiful. And then we
got on a figet rail car and went up to Napier,
stopped at Partmerston North he got out there for about

(01:07:12):
ten minutes. Beautiful cup of coffee, took it on board
and the next stop was Danny Burk and the No
Change drivers at Napier to follow up the Gisbone. Absolutely enjoyable.

Speaker 4 (01:07:25):
Absolutely were unaccompanied.

Speaker 20 (01:07:30):
No, No, I was with my auntie.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Yes, she showers, I sho was with you. Did the
rail car catch fire?

Speaker 6 (01:07:39):
No?

Speaker 20 (01:07:39):
No, yeah they had a problem with the feat rail. Yes,
I know what you mean more by that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
No, No, I think the rubbish would catch would I
think the rubbish would kind of gather between the joint
between the two of them and would get hot. I mean, yeah,
they were I love the rail cars, but they were
a liability. They were better. We might still have them.
But they all caught fire.

Speaker 20 (01:08:03):
Yeah, yeah, I believe they were storing one at is
it Pie here Tour?

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
You look.

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
They are and I look. I I follow up on that,
and it's a gorgeous looking thing. Well, when I was
filming that was twenty two years ago they were doing that.

Speaker 14 (01:08:22):
I'll watch.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Yes, it's a beautiful looking thing. I forget what the
latest use of it was, but you know it's on track.

Speaker 20 (01:08:32):
Oh it is, oh good good, But I mean I
heard anything about.

Speaker 4 (01:08:37):
I think they're still I forget what the latest thing was.
I think they're still trying to find more bits for.

Speaker 20 (01:08:41):
It or something. Oh yeah, I think that I'm trying
to find a motor because I had a special motor
that went underneath a Fiat motor submarine motor was quite awkward.
But I won't go in for that. Listeners don't want
to hear. That's technical all. I'm an engineer. I'm sorry
about that. I do talk technical.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
It's kind of like a relapse for you, isn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:09:04):
Yes, yes, yes, sorry about that.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
I'm starting talking. I'll find out more information about it.
Craig for you, but you hang, yeah, thank you. Twenty
to ten Marcus till twelve. Ooh and gst. We still
got grabsnatch and take, didn't we? That's right, Marcus. Yes,
the storing pill is called pill.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
I saw my papa coming down the road and asked
if I could go and stay with him at Coromandel.
From Raglan, I traveled on the back of his van
no seats, got to the Mandel status old caravan by myself.
When I asked if I could go snorking, he said yes.
I asked if I could come up the cli cliff
and he said yes and go around the next bay
scaling the cliffs. Yes, I was eleven years old. Good times, Marcus,

(01:09:55):
my brother and I were put on a bus from
tay Happy to TALKAOA vomited on my brother and the
man in front traumatic Loretta. I think people got more
sick in those days because the roads went good. Am
I right? Living in Fiji in the seventies, at age thirteen,
myself an English schoolfriend got on a Jubis Island boat

(01:10:16):
and went on a holiday when Outer Island in the
Esawa group for a week by ourselves. Great fun, crabbing
with a local Fijian woman the mangroves at midnight, drinking
Carver snorkling. Can't remember if we even asked our parents.
Marcus rob Muldoon brought the sports Texan as he wasn't

(01:10:36):
a sporting person. Well, he seemed vindictive. He probably hated
people that played sport and had caravans. He is more
into Lily's whan he nineteen to ten Headle twelve. Someone says,
are you up to date with the seaweed product? Recall
no surprises there. I kind of often wondered about the

(01:10:59):
production of seaweed. What is it, Mercury, I didn't say
something about it. I don't think the kids are in
the seaweed phase at the moment. I can't stop eating it,
and I see the packets. But thank you. If you've
got some more information, tell us you know we love
a product. Recall sixteen to ten. We are talking the quake.

(01:11:20):
If you felt that and Sadden, then we've segued into
school holidays, the long solo journeys you got sent on,
and the bad things that I'd like to tear from
some children that got lost. Not in a terrifying ending way.
I'd find that a bit terrifying, but with a good ending. Marcus.

(01:11:42):
A lot of the car sickness was caused by the
car fumes, bus fumes coming back to the car prior
to events and ear conditioning. That's right. You're probably right,
as we all sat there inhaling lead petrel, and of
course people were smoking the cars in those days, didn't they.
So you're inhaling gasoline and lead petrel and cigarette smoke.

(01:12:09):
It wasn't good. Surprised any off still here? Yeah, that's right,
because you'd wind the windows down because they got sick,
and then all the fumes had come through cheapest. Maybe
on a road service bus, someone would be sick smelled

(01:12:29):
waft through the bus. Terrible. Anyway, that's what we're on
about tonight, and also to today. And someone texted me today.
In nineteen eighty six, GST became a thing, and I said,
remember it did prices go up, but no prices came
down because a lot of the sales taxes were removed.
And someone said there was a thirty percent sales tax

(01:12:51):
sales tax on sporting goods, which I've got no reason
to disbelieve. Seems high though, a kind of a strange
way of taking money, because I know that Mauldoon put
the tax on caravans and destroyed the caravan building industry,
didn't it. You might remember that forty. If there's something

(01:13:13):
different you want to mention tonight, you might be out
driving doing something. School holidays. You might have been to
one of the school holy movies. You could give a
recommendation for. That is of interest to me. It's all
of interest to me. Oh wait, one hundred and eighty ten,
breaking news when I can. But if you've got stuff
road updates, anything like that and amazing. One of our

(01:13:35):
callers had a pothole in his car and they've given
them the money back to fix it when and filmed
the pothole even though you could do that. There has
been a drama at Mission Bay tonight. You might have
seen that four people are arrested, four males in a

(01:14:00):
car on Tamaki Drive holding what appeared to be a firearm.
Always a drama at Mission Bay. Gel blaster rifles. I
don't know what they are. A gel blaster rifle or
google that up forum is not my thing. Ah, it's

(01:14:22):
just for paintball, That's what I would have thought it was.
So you're want to killing one with a gel blaster,
are you? I don't know that. By the way, don't
quote me. Twelve way from twelve way from ten headle
toy not for you, Karen, twelve to nine for you.
Karen doesn't do daylight saving, is there? Get in touch

(01:14:49):
Lisa at Marcus Greetings and welcome Hi Lisa.

Speaker 25 (01:14:52):
Hi Margu's how are you going today?

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
Good?

Speaker 4 (01:14:54):
Thank you, Lisa.

Speaker 25 (01:14:56):
Now here's something that's always baffled me. As you know,
when you get paid your weekly wage and get texted
on this and you might put a bit of side
into a savings account. They're doing interest once a month
and then lo and behold they text it again. So
you're effectively paying text on text money.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
I've never got that if you never what So they
text your.

Speaker 25 (01:15:27):
Interest?

Speaker 4 (01:15:28):
Yeah, they do, on the grounds of what they call it,
your earnings?

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
Is it?

Speaker 25 (01:15:36):
Yeah, because what you're saving, they text it again, even
though you've been text once. When you've runt it, they
text it again. I don't remember now what they call it,
but it always shows up, is you know, a negative
your full interest? And then underneath it is a line
with texts.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
I try and avoid those subtleties because there's not much
you can do about it anyway, is there.

Speaker 25 (01:16:02):
No, But it doesn't really seem to you.

Speaker 4 (01:16:04):
Don't a lot of things don't say in fear that
I've noticed in life. But and you can either actually
just ignore them or get yourself unworked up about them.

Speaker 25 (01:16:13):
But yeah, okay, yeah, absolutely, so why.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
Would they Yeah, yeah, it could be earnings. I suppose
it would be the way it goes, Is that right?

Speaker 26 (01:16:24):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 25 (01:16:25):
Yeah, Well I think they call it resonent with holding
texts or something similar for that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
It doesn't all come out in the wash at the
end of it because they work out how much you've
paid and they balanced it up again.

Speaker 5 (01:16:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
Okay, didn't get that far fight. We'll find out, Lisa,
thank you. Ten to ten hit'dle twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome,
Oh Marcus, seventeen years ago my parents lived. Oh. Yes,
someone's texted me pretending to be Medeline mccahn, which I

(01:16:59):
think is bad taste. I almost got to the end
of it. Marcus Muldoon also slept twenty per text on
boat crippled. The marine industry must have had a bad
experience on a yacht. Marcus. Why is it we don't
feel earthquakes if we're moving like driving? My guess would
be you wouldn't notice it because of the suspension.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
In the car.

Speaker 4 (01:17:27):
Marcus. I was also in the I was also in
the exclusive Brethren. We did road trips. The bus driver
loved our songs with the guitars playing, singing our country songs,
but our clothes stunk of smoke. The Brethren smoke. Resident
withholding tax tax on the interest income, why don't we

(01:17:53):
I could someone tell me the update on the seaweed
poison Ten to ten seven to ten Mikey Beeban along
from twelve people. My name is Marcus. I hope it's
good where you are. Day three of the school holidays
for some of you. I'm talking about not the children.

(01:18:14):
The people are looking after the children. You know what
I'm about. So the sketchy trips you got sent in
on as a child during the holidays when your parents
said okay, you're off and they popped on a bus
and three days later you arrived. Did you have those

(01:18:36):
sorts of trips? See the stories I want to hear
trips of terror and adventure and all those sorts of things.
So right about that tonight and GST. When that first
came in eighty six, things got cheaper. Then it went
from ten percent to twelve and percent and eighty nine.
Then John Key put up to fifteen percent in twenty ten.

Speaker 20 (01:19:01):
I think.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
I presume they are probably commercials on the TV telling
you what to do JST. Yep, that was almost forty
years ago. It's coming up. That's all we're on about
so far. It's just coming up to five away from
ten people. If there's something else you want to mention
before the news, love to hear from you. I'll do

(01:19:25):
what I can to bring you international news. The big
story locally was that quake seems to be no reports
of damage, widely felt, no damage four point nine just
out of seven. I always think it's a good thing
with there's a quake that's not too big, because it
shows the plates are kind of letting off steam to

(01:19:45):
when you don't get a quake for a long time,
you want to get freaked out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
That's me.

Speaker 4 (01:19:50):
Why don't get that freaked out? Got a house built
on rock, but eight hundred and eighty toirty five away
from ten o'clock here till twelve. Good evening, Roger, It's Marcus, Welcome, Hi,
Roger's be again, Roger, Isaac got nice hear from you, Roger.

Speaker 27 (01:20:18):
You know you got my name down in your bucket.

Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Maybe I can't say trade secrets.

Speaker 28 (01:20:26):
I've already been told anyway.

Speaker 27 (01:20:27):
But hey, when I was six, my parents back now
on a plane and sent me down from Matara to
that what was called my aunt, you know, but ran
the post office down there, and six years old and nicest.

Speaker 12 (01:20:40):
Spirit the whole way.

Speaker 15 (01:20:42):
Really, yep.

Speaker 28 (01:20:44):
Ever been on a plane before my life for myself,
never been on one since.

Speaker 27 (01:20:51):
H Yeah, well, yeah, oh not for a while now.

Speaker 11 (01:20:55):
But so I don't have any problem with emotions.

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
It's nice to think they had post offices in Matoda
that people actually ran. They were the postmaster, were they?

Speaker 7 (01:21:08):
Yep?

Speaker 14 (01:21:08):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
That was that.

Speaker 12 (01:21:12):
There were lovely people. And then they took me for
a trip to Queenstown and we went.

Speaker 6 (01:21:19):
On the.

Speaker 12 (01:21:22):
What do you call them?

Speaker 28 (01:21:23):
The gondola and my uncle said, what's this label for?
And he pulled it and it's split open. It's a
six year old kuld go. I'm going to die.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
That's a great thing. What an uncle?

Speaker 5 (01:21:38):
That's it is?

Speaker 4 (01:21:39):
The postmaster. I think it seems quite irresponsible.

Speaker 28 (01:21:42):
And you know what they're driving wrong in the old
HD holding it and he was sitting there driving with
a bear in his hand and his wife.

Speaker 12 (01:21:51):
My auntie had a half ged here and that's how
they rolled in those days.

Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
I don't think much has changed, to be fair, well,
I don't know about that. They're still like the big
cars of that part of the town. I still like
the V it's is still mint condition.

Speaker 12 (01:22:09):
Yeah I've got V eights and yeah, various cars and
yeah enough like sound of the throwdy.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
V eight Did they pick you up from the butt
from the plane to drive you to Meta. Didn't make
you catch your bus there, did they?

Speaker 12 (01:22:22):
No? No, no, they picked me up at the airport
and took me from the airport.

Speaker 28 (01:22:27):
It was it was a good time. You know, it's
it's six years old.

Speaker 12 (01:22:31):
I can still remember a bit of.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
It, but I got to go with that's class. I
like that story. Thank you, Roger back after the news guys,

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
You're trusted. Late time talk Marcus slash nights call, eights.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
One levee rio because I away.

Speaker 4 (01:23:22):
By welcome people eight past ten o'clock. There are people
text to me saying there is going to be situations
that things are going to be happen. There's going to
be still big changes at tv en Z, although that's
rumors now from people saying they work there and some
guy that was an uber driver. So I don't know

(01:23:43):
what happens when they're annual report comes out or what's
going to happen. But yeah, so I'll keep you across
that people. I don't kind of like to speculate without
facts about people when they're going to lose jobs and stuff.
So anyway, do come through if you've got something to
talk about that eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
to text, So yeah, get in touch. I you've got

(01:24:06):
someone from about that. Mainly we are talking about school
holiday trips when your parents would bang you on a
bus or a train or an amphibian and send you
halfway around the country, as they should have, because we know,
of course with people working, holidays are quite hard for

(01:24:26):
people because you've got to do something with your kids
and normally I'd send them to a farm to work
or somewhere like that wasn't straightforward. You couldn't drive them
and have cars. So stories like that I'm all about. Tonight.
We're also talking about GST because this day in nine
ninety six GST came in and surprising things became cheaper

(01:24:46):
because there were sales taxes on caravans and boats and
sporting goods. Seems like the ancient passed to me, but
it seemed weird thing to do, isn't it. So we
are talking about that also tonight, and the quake in
Sudden and all sorts of other stuff too. You So,
have you got something I mean, basically, if you've got
a topic, we can incorporate it. That's the way it's

(01:25:09):
kind of going to work tonight. If you've got something
to say, we can make that part of the show.
Pretty much. Sure, the way it always works, isn't it
Get in touch eight hundred and eighty ten nine to
text so there is an internal Oh that's from what

(01:25:30):
that's twenty seven year Okay, get in touch with your
talk Marcus, still talk, Laurry welcome, wrong button for me, Larry,
don't say anything, Laurie market but Lury Marcus welcome. Sorry,
I had three tips to get you on. Welcome to
the show, Marcus, good evening got you the other time?

Speaker 9 (01:25:50):
Yeah, hit a memorable trippers about it? Or an eight
year old to Dunedin as part of a small or
league team. Was just from living in the Hereward transit
camp at the time, and somebody put together a league
team and had connections in Dunedin and they also worked

(01:26:11):
for the local carrier. So the whole all the kids
and a couple of adults that stuck on the back
of a furniture truck, you know campas.

Speaker 4 (01:26:21):
Hang'd you say you're living in the here would here
would resettlement camp?

Speaker 9 (01:26:25):
No, it was a what they call the transit camp.
You know, they were people were waiting for state houses.
I guess it was the the Overlid that's at that stage. Yeah,
and yeah, they had organized or sort of a philly

(01:26:46):
or mixed group from kids of all sizes basically, and
so they somebody had had contacts in Dunedin and they
organized a trip in the middle of winter on the
back of one of these furniture trucks and just take

(01:27:07):
a few metrices on the back and you know, the
rear was open and off we went. And uh, you
know several you know, comfort stops along the way and
vomiting and all sorts of stuff, and got to the
need and going up the cool mogue and was sewing
and you know had difficult Evil was out sort of

(01:27:30):
helping to push the thing up.

Speaker 4 (01:27:33):
Well, you look about the person that's organizing something like that,
because it's a big it's a big ask. I mean,
why could they play someone with the league in christ Church?
But good on, big.

Speaker 9 (01:27:42):
Responsible, we must had contacts down here. It's there was
a good idea at the time. And we all got
billeted out and the different groups and we turned up
the next day. We had red jusys with yellow vs
on them. I remember that, and the team were was
down they forget their name. Now they were blue with

(01:28:02):
yellow v's as well at this park and that was
all covered and know as well, pretty hard stuff. So
they called the game off. I did, and then we
got sort of showing around the town. The old cable
car was working at that stage.

Speaker 4 (01:28:21):
Not cable car, it was a cable It was that
steep sorry right, absolutely, yes, the table car.

Speaker 9 (01:28:32):
Yeah, yeah, that was one of the highlights. Were killed
a bit of time doing that. And they say, we
all jumped on the truck and.

Speaker 4 (01:28:42):
Did you have official colors?

Speaker 3 (01:28:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:28:46):
What I say, there were red jerseys with a uh,
you know, just a yellow V on them. I don't
think we were part of any proper organized league club
at the time, or it might have been affiliated, and
it was just I uh, wasn't there a wrong time
after that? And I don't think he would from from
memory there's a league club around, but yeah it was

(01:29:10):
I know the guy that had organized it was a
truck driver. Yeah, he was a league panetic anyway. Yeah,
but when you think about it, it's just kids sort
of hanging over the back of the truck sort of vomiting, and.

Speaker 4 (01:29:25):
Then straight back the next day were you.

Speaker 9 (01:29:31):
Might have been two nights, Yeah, yeah, but no, that
was stuck in my memory. That and then way you
jumped off at the different places, you know, Caroline Bay
and Ashburton and things like that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:40):
It was.

Speaker 9 (01:29:40):
It was a wonderful trip for you know, most of
the kids. It was the first trip they've ever done.
And never forget it.

Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
I'd like to know the team you played. Do you
know where the field? And then even was that you played?

Speaker 9 (01:29:52):
It was that there was a grand stand there and
I don't know what the league ground would be there,
but certainly I remember they were blue and I certainly
I'm pretty certainly had either a yellow V you know
like all Lead jerseys used to have then, or the
yellow white. Yeah, it was a ninety fifty six. I

(01:30:14):
guess thereabouts.

Speaker 4 (01:30:15):
I should organize the reunion. I think it's quite an
important truck. Did you have clothes for the back of
the truck and.

Speaker 9 (01:30:22):
The well just just there was just wallly police and
all that sort of stuff, you know, just everything. It
was one of those days. I know the name of
the carrier and the trucks. That was quite a Common.
It was J Dell D E. Y E L L
was the company, Yeah at the time, and they were
still around crisis for quite a while. Out of that

(01:30:43):
with you know, a far bit of trucks in this
particular one because it was well.

Speaker 4 (01:30:47):
Rugby league story. It should be there. Someone's written the
history of rugby League. That should be there. Because no
bus for he it was the back of a truck.

Speaker 9 (01:30:55):
Yeah, it certainly didn't have enough grunt or you know,
there was quite a bit of snow on the cool
morgue and you know, everything else is having trouble getting
up there, and it was just a bit of an effort.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
Yeah, can you remember what do you remember where you
were billeted?

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Larry?

Speaker 9 (01:31:09):
It was I know the people. He was a draftsman
or sort of at an architect's office. I think we
did exchange letters for a little while with the family,
as you know, I used to write thank you letters
and that sort of stuff. But that is in my
I haven't got that on recall the execut details.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
But good story, Laurie, Thank you like that A lot.
Sixteen past ten we how about yours people of Wait
one hundred and eighty ten eighty the school holiday trips,
you know, unaccompanied where we are sent the other ones,
I like Mark's at forty or fifty. Our parents put
my friend and I on a train at Duneed and
heading up the Central Targo Line. Train driver dropped us

(01:31:51):
off at a place called Mount Allen on the Taedi River.
No train stations, no road, stayed free, stayed three nights
in a cotton pup tent, caught trout, cooked them up,
made fires, flag down the train on its return. Can't

(01:32:11):
imagining my kids do that, Brent Well, I wonder want
to call them pup tents. But let's hear from your
sixteen past ten eight hundred and eighty eight to thirty
nine nine to de text. Marcus corjulialist has enlighten me
on how online job applications work. I was made redundant
the year ago after thirty years with the same employer.

(01:32:33):
I've applied for numerous jobs, don't even an interview. I'm
in my fifties, so a difficult age to get a job.
I noticed on an email rejecting my application the day
and time of Monday, at one fifty five am. It
was a job in Auklands. So who on earth would
be in the HR department at this hour. Regards Anne,
I don't know, Anne. Someone said that tekofa to the

(01:32:54):
train has stopped on the tracks, might be scheduled, might
be passing loop.

Speaker 1 (01:32:59):
Is it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
To get in touch? Hittell twelve. Let's take a break.
Hold your horses shorn with you soon now scientists think
there's a third state beyond life and death. One year,
a scientist reveals incredible near death experience. More boy, I
believe it when I see it. Get touch. My name

(01:33:25):
is Marcus nineteen past ten GST. The anniversary that this day,
in nineteen eighty six it was bought in. Things got cheaper.
You might remember the first day doing your own books.
That sort of stuff still seems incredibly complicated to me, GST.
Incredibly complicate. Anyway, that's what we're on about tonight. My
name is Marcus Hitded twelve. You want to do it's

(01:33:46):
something else, be my guest, quite literally, keep those texts
coming through. Marcus got a train silver something or it
might have been read from harwarda to put it to
obey Wellington must have been ten fifty years ago. Thank you.

(01:34:06):
Remember my granduncle take me on the train from old
Pepa Toy Toy to Queen Street, Rendell's Store, and Auckland
for lunch. Oh, how are you going? Boss? Someone want
to know how often to clean your oven? I don't
know the hard I guess it depends how fen you
use it. Some people would use their oven ten times
a day. Some, I guess would be once a months.

(01:34:31):
I think there are services you can call and they
come around and clean your oven. They have a catchy
name like mister Oven or something. There would be my
take on that. You might have some suggestions. Twenty two
past ten. I hope you're coping with daylight savings. Z
always puts my world. It makes for funny old talk
back during daylight Taban's always puts my world in a

(01:34:53):
bit of a spin that in the school holidays. Anyway,
Just push off your spot slightly, don't it? Which is fine,
But my mantra has never under rate daylight saving sah.
You might be filling coming unstuck a down to afterwards.
It's just that subtle shift plays up with your dioune
or rhythms. You won't be sleeping properly. Things will be happening.

(01:35:13):
That's just my take on that. I don't want to
become an antid Savigs evangelizer. I always minimize it. Don't
do that twenty one past ten. If you want to
come through, I don't know. I've got a woolen a
hat and a woolen jacket. I'm as hot as heck.
They've come off. I feel better O Jimmy Carter a

(01:35:35):
hundred today. He looks old. He's always looked great until
about one or two years ago, looked free, unwell, So
that's happening today. It's also Julie Andrews's birthday. She can't
be eighty nine. I was gonna say it seems only
yesterday she was in the movie ten, but I think

(01:35:55):
that was Bo Derek. So I've got my British stars
mixed up. But still she can't be eighty nine. Julie Andrews. Oh, well,
but do get in touch people. The other thing, I
forget what I've talked about. It's been kind of meandering tonight,

(01:36:15):
so getting if you want to add oh, get in
touch and I'll do what I can to bring up
to news around the country. A lot of texts sort
of solicited about TV and Z, mainly from Uber drivers
hearing conversations which I don't doubt. I'm sure people would

(01:36:38):
hear stuff talking in textis I think they're supposed to
be announcement on the seventh of October. People are spectating
what other shows will go, and well, there aren't many
left really, there's only the six seven Sharp and the
Breakfast Show and the One Bulletin. Well the One Bulletin
would be the last to go, but I'm sure the

(01:37:01):
others could go. Now they've got rid of fear go Yeah,
is it something that will happen, So there we go
be worrying times for people that work there. Twenty three
past ten if you want to come through. Is also
a PlayStation network outage, so you might be having trouble

(01:37:22):
logging onto your games. Well that's not a surprise because
it's happened. It's kind of it's gone down. Although I
guess probably some warning would come up on your computer,
would it. I've got no more information about that. Yeah,
I should think what are other stories I'm going to

(01:37:42):
currently have to keep you up to date where they'll
do my best for that. People on this Tuesday feels
like a Wednesday, if I can say that. Mikey bieban
On from twelve International Coffee Day, International Vegetarian Day. Actually,
speaking of coffee, I've learned something I knew. There was

(01:38:03):
always that coffee that passed through the cibvet, But now
they have coffee beans that passed through an elephant. Then
they cocked them up. The most expensive coffee you can
get changes the proteins. Once the elephant digests, it digests it.
That's weird, Josie, it's Marcus. Good evening. Hi, jo s Hi, jose.

would have been about nineteen thirty two.

Speaker 15 (01:38:59):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:39:00):

Speaker 13 (01:39:05):
Well, I went, I had relatives lived in my hotel,
and they put my parents put me on the train
on my own, I've never forgotten it, and went as
far as Wyuku and then they picked me up. I
can't remember whether it was the horse and trap or

(01:39:28):
the car, but they they took me to the farm
for my holiday, and I just thought, well, that's probably
about the oldest one that's been there tonight.

Yeah. And where were you? Were you from Auckland?

Speaker 13 (01:39:44):

from when I spoke before?

Speaker 13 (01:40:40):
Yes, that's me. Yes, couple of times I rug you.
But I just had to tell you about that trip,
which was about an eight year old. That's a long
memory that one.

Speaker 4 (01:40:53):
It's a great look, Josie. Thank you so much for
coming through lovely to talk and I will talk to
you on the twenty third, this dumbas winter summer break,
and I think I am here that day also to
thank you for that. By the way, there's been a
car crush, a car crash on the Northern Motorway heading
north before walk with three vehicles are on the scene,
one person of serious condition, so probably avoid that area.

(01:41:16):
That's the Northern Motorway heading north before walk with Eva's Marcus.
Good evening.

Speaker 21 (01:41:23):
I'm a Marcus him a little to towel, probably a
little sadder than everybody else's. My parents were divorced and
I got sent to stay with my father on occasions
and stepmother, And on this occasion stepmother and sister, I
call him mum and I said no, so she said

(01:41:43):
you go back home. So she said, me home on
the bus on my own. And my mother said the
law says you have to spend time with your father,
so you're going back. Wow, And I thought that's okay,
So I put back on the bus. Probably was the
bus arrived in Auckland with my luggage.

Speaker 18 (01:42:02):
But I didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:42:05):
Sheephers.

Speaker 21 (01:42:06):
So I hopped off at the other end of town,
went back, climbed to day this tree and sat there
and watched the police coming and going while everybody in
Auckland and my small hometown were looking for me. And
then when everything was quiet, I came down off the
tree and I climbed under my sister stare and went
to sleep where I got found next morning. I guess what,

(01:42:30):
I never got sent back to Auckland there again.

Speaker 4 (01:42:32):
It's a great story. Fancy parents doing that. Where were
you living when you went in Auckland? Where was your mother?

Speaker 21 (01:42:39):
A small town on the hierarchy planes?

Speaker 15 (01:42:41):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (01:42:44):
Did you ever make did you ever make peace with
that step mother?

Speaker 21 (01:42:48):
She was She was a bit of an aggressive old
lady and she was very unforgiving.

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
Sounds sound please you can laugh about I'd crumble. I
mean that sounds.

Speaker 21 (01:43:00):
I think it's hilarious. I teld my you know the
story about me not arriving in Organ and my luggage ship.
I sat in the tree and watched all the police
coming and going while we're up and the hometown police
were looking for me.

Speaker 4 (01:43:15):
Fancy wanting her to call you mum. That's that's that's unbelievable.
I think you've enjoyed that greatly. Keep those coming through.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty up, Oh yeah,
half past in Dono Marie headlines please, thanks so much,
Donner twenty nine away from twelve o'clock, twenty nine away
from eleven, not for your care in twenty nine from

(01:43:36):
ten from you. My name is Marcus heidt tweve o'clock tonight,
eight hundred and eighty eight eighty been sent away for
the school holidays. All those trips you were made to
go on. It's unaccompanied on buses or whatever, planes or
I don't even know what other forms of transport there
would be, taxis, padellos. I'm sure you have some of
those stories. Also, gst when that came in an eighty

(01:43:57):
six Marcus, I'm sure of that woman Anne who lost
her job contacted were they could help reply for jobs online.
Thank you for Steve Marcus name of oven cleaning company

(01:44:18):
lovingly cool. That's a great name. Lovingly There you go.
Do they have I've never seen people in vans that
go around and clean up. Might apparently have them in Bluff.
I wouldn't think he hasn't kind of got to that

(01:44:40):
stage yet where people come and clean your ovens. Mind,
you be a good franchise to start. Hello, Grace, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 24 (01:44:51):
Yes, thank you, Marcus. I'm a little bit crazy because
they haven't long been home from hospital. But this is
not so much as a trip in the school, you know,
being sent away in the school holidays. During school holidays,
I actually packed with in the Sanatorium Health Food Company
which was making those days. It was an Upper Queen Street.

(01:45:13):
Oh yeah, yeah, I looked. I grew up a couple
of streets away from there, and in the school holidays
I packed wheetbooks there and I did a little bit
of research on it. And apparently before it became the
Sanatorium Health Food Company, it was a dog pound.

Speaker 18 (01:45:32):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (01:45:33):
Yeah, okay, yeah, And I know that kind of place
in Upper Queen Street where that was the white.

Speaker 24 (01:45:39):
White Sence, the white well it was. I'm not quite
sure if the White Sence is still were and even
back in those days in the nineteen at the end
of World War two, because I'm ninety not odd, I'll
be ninety two shoot suit, but it would have been
in the well, not thirty foot or thirty nine for yeah,

(01:46:07):
and even we think it's nice having shops attached to
factories where customers can buy things from shops. Well, back then,
Sanitarium had a little shop at the side of the
factory where you could go and get a bag of
broken weekbooks for about five though, oh five shillings or something,

(01:46:30):
all the broken weekbooks.

Speaker 4 (01:46:32):
Okay. I think I always had friends and flats around
that area. They always caught it the Dog Pound, and
I think that was almost near Upper Queen Street and
Randolph Street.

Speaker 24 (01:46:41):
Just almost, yeah, almost almost right.

Speaker 4 (01:46:45):
Now, where were you living at the time. Graciously a
couple of streets away? This will be interesting.

Speaker 24 (01:46:49):
Yeah, Oh, sadly two doors away from the Old King's Arms,
which has now been mar Oh wow. I don't know
why on earth that ever happened, because it was a
fantastic place. The last time I went there was the
weekend that they were closing, and I've kicking tours around

(01:47:10):
there watching. There was a double deck above all decorated
with green and orange. Was in Patrick's day, Yes, And
there was some fantastic Irish music going on in the
Old King's Arms.

Speaker 4 (01:47:24):
I just happened to see some photos the other day
of all those suburbs report before they put the motorway through,
and there were so many houses there. But what I
didn't realize is it so many houses sort of had
shops or light industry attached to it. A lot was
happening in those suburbs before they all got bold for
the motorway.

Speaker 24 (01:47:42):
Now where we lived, it was a three story house
with two stories below Frant Street on the corner of
Craker Street and Frant Street, and my aunt lived on
the corner of Front Street and Randolph Street, so there
was a little bit of a family get together there.

(01:48:02):
But it was just, you know, it's so awful to
think that the olds and I met up with the
manager of the King's Arms at the time it was
about to close and told him a little bit of
my history and how my grandparents lived in Cracker Street
as well. So and since met up with a couple

(01:48:23):
of people that we didn't realize we were neighbors in
Cracker Street and Cobden Street and Euton Road and went
to Newton Central School and here we are, yeah, I
mean here we are. You know, I'm being ninety and
thinking back about my early school days and finding out

(01:48:43):
that the people I've met up with we did go
to the same school, but of course, not knowing at
that time.

Speaker 4 (01:48:52):
Did you go, Grace, did you go to secondary school.

Speaker 24 (01:48:58):
When you live? When you left primary school? When you
left Newton Central School? Most of us went to COI Intermediate,
which was the first in to media at school in
New Zealand. Yes, and then most of the boys went
on from CHI to sid and Tech. But I stayed
on until my fourth form in TOI because I wasn't

(01:49:22):
allowed to leave school until I was fifteen and I
was still only fourteen, not having started school until I
was seven because of the polio epidemic.

Speaker 4 (01:49:30):
Gosh, there's a lot in the school. Okay, wow? And
then you left at fourteen? And then did you go
and did you go straight into work at that age?

Speaker 6 (01:49:37):
Now?

Speaker 24 (01:49:38):
I left at fifteen. My dad insisted that, you know,
get out there and help with the family finances, because
it was pretty tough in those days when you lived
to be ninety. Like that lovely lady that's nearly one hundred,
she would realize we see history repeated itself. Yes, great,
you know, I mean, I mean my living was Yes,

(01:50:01):
sorry to.

Speaker 4 (01:50:01):
Interrupt that woman that rung before she is one hundred
she'll be one hundred and one in December.

Speaker 24 (01:50:06):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, I forgot that. Yeah, she lives
in Mission Bays. Well I'm not too far away from her.
But the fact of our age, when you stop and
think about it, We've we lived through the Great Depression,
World War two, and now this generation is living through

(01:50:27):
TOVID and all the stuffe in Ukraine. So it just
shows you that history does repeat itself. And did you
go it in a way?

Speaker 4 (01:50:36):
Did you get a job out of school or did
you is that when you work for the for the people.

Speaker 24 (01:50:42):
Yeah, back in those days, I mean showing and and
nursing with the main careers the girls could do. And
I wanted to say so, I became a tailors. Yeah,
and we spoke. We spoke tailors too, So we made costumes,

(01:51:03):
did tatoring for some very well known people in Auckland.
And I've always lived in Auckland for for all about
five years of my ninety so I've seen a lot
of changes in Auckland.

Speaker 4 (01:51:16):
Oh you will if well, look look, thank you lovely
to talk to you tonight, Grace. Thank you so much
for coming through. It's twenty two to eleven. Marcus till
twelve oh eight hundred and eighty today looking for to
your calls, twenty away from eleven So. The incident seems
to be a car versus pedestrian in walk With So
State high One has closed both directions, both north of

(01:51:40):
Walkworth and south. From my understanding, I've just I'll just
go to the nzed TA and just if anyone's got
any more information about that. That's of interest to me. Obviously,
so many drivers listening to this show at this time
of the night. If we've got information for them, they
might be able to swing at sixteen and go the
Helensville Way. If there's more information for that, I will
do what I can do to find out if I
was more information about that, although I think often with

(01:52:02):
you callers, you're ahead of inded TA websites, so so
there does seem to be something up due to a crash.
The motorway is closed northbound from Puhuyof Ramp to Twin
Coast Discovery Highway. Walk With. Please allow extra time for

(01:52:25):
your journey. Now that's not great information, is it. I mean,
it's not telling you much. I can't even see where
the diversions are. But I'm thinking if you're coming south
from Fungada, would advise to do a Statehoway sixteen and

(01:52:46):
probably heading north. Also someone might have some bit of
diversions for me. But if you've got some information about that,
do let me know. Eighteen to eleven people enjoying the
discussion muchly are the places you got seent on your
own in the school holidays? Fancy that?

Speaker 24 (01:53:06):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (01:53:06):
Mother, what a piece of work? Whod in system been called?
Mother's a whole other world into that like something out
of it one hundred and one Dalmatians of something that's
a whole different kind of form of evil. Eighteen twelve.

(01:53:28):
If you want to be a part of the show,
Marcus till twelve, get in touch. As I say, oh
wait at eighty Teddy also to about GST that came
in this day in nineteen eighty six, and I started
discussion with someone texted me that GST came and I said, well,
things would have gone up in price, but actually a
lot of the stuff came down in price because Moldoon
I believe it was Moldo and had put in all

(01:53:49):
sorts of sales taxes for sporting goods and boats and caravans,
and I guess you could debate the fear at fairness
of a luxury tax like that. But when GST came in,
it was fled across the board ten percent. Then it
went to twelve and a half percent in nineteen ninety nine.
I think then with under Helen Clark, then up to

(01:54:13):
fifteen percent. I think under John Key there's been no
talk of it rising again, but I wouldn't imagine that
that's not off the table. But do come through if
you want to talk about the school holiday trips and
any other stuff you want to mention tonight. As I say, Hettle,

(01:54:33):
twelve day two of the school holidays up, it's going
well for you. The kids don't seem too fairal yet
that I've got might be overstimulated. CROCS injuries have tripled.
In two thousand and twenty three, two million people. Two

(01:55:02):
million dollars were paid out to people with four related
claims and involving jandles, high heels, and crocs. I argue
doing more damage to show it to your feed in
egg boots and boat shoo's long lasting damage. The number
of gender related accents is decreasing, while high heel excits
remained steady, losing balance or skidding on the foot was

(01:55:27):
the most common way for people to sustain injuries in
both jendles and crocs. Meanwhile, least ten people were struck
by an animal or person while wearing crocs, causing a
significant injury enough to acquire acc fifteen to eleven catches.

(01:55:47):
Soon it is thirteen to eleven, Judy, it's Marcus. Welcome,
good evening, high duty.

Speaker 7 (01:55:53):
Hi.

Speaker 23 (01:55:54):
I'm just ringing about a holiday that I did that
I can't remember. I'm eighty five now, and I found
a letter in my mother's belong when she passed, and
the beginning of this it was a letter that was
written to me, evidently while I was on holiday, and
I must have bought it home with me, and the

(01:56:16):
letter begins dead Judy, I'm very sorry we put you
on the wrong bus, but I'm very pleased that you
finally arrived. Say since down, I do hope you did
not worry. And I've looked at the date. I looked
at the date on there's a little date on the

(01:56:37):
top and it's the thirtieth of I think it's the
eighth or the first of nineteen forty eight, and I
was born in thirty nine, so I must have been
about nine.

Speaker 4 (01:56:52):
Too young to be put on the wrong bus. You'd think.

Speaker 23 (01:56:58):
I was being sent down to my grandma. I think
in why she was down and used to work as
a receptionist in a hotel up down in Whypakarau. But
I can't really remember anything about it at all. But
I just just when I read this letter, I just
cracked up. I just couldn't believe that I to get there.

Speaker 4 (01:57:22):
Who do you think who would said? Who had said that?
Who'd put you on the wrong bus? Mum, Oh, that
makes it worse.

Speaker 23 (01:57:33):
And there's somewhere later about me losing my ticket and
because she's tucked the ticket into the suitcase. I don't know,
but I was only about nine, and I used to
be sent away for holidays quite a bit, and sometimes
I had to take my brother with me. We used
to go on the train up to Kawa Kawa quite

(01:57:55):
regularly there and yeah, I used to get around.

Speaker 4 (01:58:02):
Around for a long trip from from where to Kawakara,
Judy from Auckland or forever. Okay, so you put on
the bus to what you put your parents put you
on the bus to wipe on the wrong bus?

Speaker 14 (01:58:18):
Was nine?

Speaker 23 (01:58:21):
She said she says, I hope you were not. You
did not worry.

Speaker 4 (01:58:27):
Well, you probably didn't know until you're arrived.

Speaker 23 (01:58:32):
How the how on earth I got there? I'm not
quite sure. I can't really remember.

Speaker 4 (01:58:38):
That's a mystery that needs unsolving. Judy, thank you for that.
I've loved that. That's great, Hazel, it's Marcus. Good evening, Oh,
good evening.

Speaker 29 (01:58:47):
I were sent from Matameta to Cambridge to work in
my father's uncle's milk bath during the school holidays. I
loved it. And then and later I went from Metameta
to Auckland to stay with my aunt and uncle. He

(01:59:11):
was literary editor of the Auckland Star, and they lit
a bit Pomsonby and he used to doing up and
say hop on the tram. He was also a film critic,
and he said, hop on a tram. I'm going to
watch a film before they printed in the paper tomorrow.

(01:59:36):
And so I would hop on a tram. And there
were other reporters in the tiny little film studio, and
there were only about six or eight seats, and there
other reporters, you know, for other newspapers. I was in
Auckland on the day in Queen Street and it was

(01:59:59):
wall to wall people.

Speaker 4 (02:00:01):
Well, and what was your what was his name? The reporter?

Speaker 25 (02:00:06):
He was a.

Speaker 29 (02:00:07):
Literary reader of the Auckland Star.

Speaker 16 (02:00:09):
What was.

Speaker 29 (02:00:11):
Jeffrey Webster? He originally started in christ Church, the christ
Church Son, I think it was, and then he became
a parliament reporter and then he turns sud to Auckland.

Speaker 4 (02:00:31):
Amazing, Razel, thank you so much for coming through that.
I'm going to run for news. But look, that's great
to hear from you, eight away from eleven o'clock. Looking
forward to your calls back in a bit six from
eleven People of New Zealand those people listening beyond, how
are you welcome?

Speaker 14 (02:00:44):
People?

Speaker 4 (02:00:45):
International papers? Not a huge amount going on. A much
speculation about who's taking a zimpic. I mean that's a
drug with a high prof reckon Weight Watchers is going broke,
like the shares are through the floor, because of course

(02:01:07):
no one's doing weight watching anymore. People are medicating with
a zempick and the other brand similar to lose weight.
The number of people on it is just millions in
the America, it seems to be. Anyway. I thought that
was interesting to happen to hear a report on that
last night as I was driving the other one. The

(02:01:30):
other one big what there's a zempic. But the other
one they like is we're GOV. Sounds like a ride
at the Easter Show. We're govy. There you go, that's
the situation. So why am I telling you that? Oh,
that's because it's all the headlines. Is Christine Aguilera on
a zempic? Or wegov? Anyway? I'm just seating up towards
the news people. We are talking about the far fetched

(02:01:53):
things your family did to get rid of you in
the school holidays, mainly like sending the wrong bus. Yeah,
but I'm sure most people got where they needed to get.
There wasn't much you could do without cell phones, was
I guess. I'm sure the bus drivers are very good
of those days. Hang about where you supposed to be?

(02:02:15):
Oh well put it. Okay, we've got a problem. We're
in Stratford. Anyway, get in touch if you want to talk.
My name is Marcus Hurdle twelve Mikey Beeban long from midnight.
People also talking about GST. You might be an accountant.
You might want to talk me through the excitement when

(02:02:37):
GST first arrived. Goods and Services texts I think the
key was always services. Some of us didn't realize much
about that, but yeah, there you go. Oh do get
in touch. My name's Marcus. Welcome. Also at earthquake oh
Daneedan residents have been urged to clear drains and be

(02:02:57):
alert for flooding, as wild weather could bring a month's
worth of rain in three days. For goodness sake, let's
hope South And doesn't get that. No, I think South
it's not forecast to get that. I think fortune. We

(02:03:19):
skip it central and in need and are going to
get it. Hopefully we miss out. The west of South
Island's going to get most of it. Oh No, South
And gets a hammering. So yeah, there we go. So
the west of the week, the rest of the week
is rain. That was harder to say that I thought

(02:03:41):
it was going to be. The rest of the week
is rain. Oh boy, chupest creepers. Anyway, let's not go
on about that. If you are driving north of Auckland,
south or north, there is a road closure at Walkworth.
There's been an accident there. They say State Highway one
and I guess it's State highay Wan there, but it

(02:04:04):
seems to be closed in both directions, So check on
insed ta playing your journey beforehand, because otherwise you'll be
held up for a long, long time. Catch after the
news hit on midnight at October.

Speaker 1 (02:04:16):
Call eight hundred and eight for some after hours chat
Marcus Lush nights on news Talk sid B.

Speaker 2 (02:04:23):
When whoa outside to the lands, when even more they
maybe tied, it seems I'm fine word.

Speaker 3 (02:04:50):
One never won rior because I am away.

Speaker 2 (02:04:59):
By your side.

Speaker 4 (02:05:08):
Goodness, how ire? Someone says, do you know about arstik
found and recalled seaweed product? Does that mean no sushi
for a week? Listening to you on a high speed
train from Luca to Rome, These trains are awesome traveling
around two fifty k's, smooth and quiet. John, if only

(02:05:34):
your high speed rail seems to be going through huge
growth spread at the moment through China and Europe. Not
so much here, Marcus. When I was seven, Mum would
put me on the airport bus in Auckland City. I
would travel to the airport on my own and check
myself into Fakathani where my grandparents lived. When I got

(02:05:55):
the Fakathani airport, I would call a text to get
my grandparents house. The flight was on the fuck of Friendship.
Flight was my holiday treat as mum work full time.
I had to catch the railway bus back to Auckland.
That was fifty three years ago. John. It's a huge
trip a for seven year old to bus from Auckland
city the airport, go to the right terminal and then

(02:06:17):
get the plane to Fakatan, then get the taxi. Wow,
you'd call a taxi? I suppose from a payphone. How'd
you call the taxi? John was a payphone with three
two cent coins. Marcu who used to go the bus
from Hamilton to Gisbean to stay with cousins. They got
travel sooch all the way. I had a brown paper
bag to vomited utio. I was twelve in the bus

(02:06:38):
took about six hours. It's a long trip. So we
are talking the trips, the long trips you would take
as unaccompanied miners during the school holidays, since it is
school holidays, and the adventures you had on those, includ

(02:07:01):
the caller before the music got put on the wrong bus.
Delightful story. She could actually remember the details which are
quite liked also, So we talk about that and GST today.
This day in nineteen eighty six were the first day
and you didn't had GST. What is interesting is that
people said things got cheaper because they took off a

(02:07:22):
lot of the sales taxes. I think mole Doon had
put them on, but I'm not sure if they Some
of them existed predated that. Some of them probably might
have been around from the war. I don't know that.
But that's what 'ren about. Ten pass. Anything else goes
the more the meory for this final I'll be good
to hear from you. How do you cope with daylight savings?
Have you adjusted your clock in your car? I didn't

(02:07:45):
mine on the way to work and it took me
forty hours not to do it, but to do it,
you know. You know what I'm saying. Get in touch.
Also talking about zempic, the fat loss drug, and the
end of weight Watchers over, they're trying to pivot into

(02:08:06):
a company that advises and helps people get on to
a zempic. So they really have given up. That's what
they're doing. They're becoming a way to help using your
your medical assurance to get on because I think you'll
be certain way to get on a zempic. Not everyone
gets on it. So that's what we're kind of on

(02:08:29):
about tonight ten past eleven. My name is Marcus. Welcome,
oh eight hundred and eighty Taddy, looking forward to your calls.
I don't know if that means that people still get
their stomach stapled. Been a very good showing about people
getting their stomach stapled on the show people went to
Mexico for that was very interesting. But whether that's gone,

(02:08:50):
I know with a zempic, I don't know that or not.

Speaker 5 (02:08:52):
If you're.

Speaker 4 (02:08:53):
If you're who knows. So that's what we're on about tonight.
If you want to talk about any of these topics,
would be lovely to hear from you. And the South
Island looks as though there's going to be an unbelievable
lot of wet weather coming and what's been one of
the wettest Septembers ever, the weddest that I can recall.
It's going to rain for the west of the rest
of the week, which is terrible. Tom, Marcus welcome. Hi.

Speaker 10 (02:09:21):
You were talking about trains, and I've also got one
other thing. You were talking about trains that've got high
speed trains now from England to the Highlands, and when
I left Scotland and nineteen sixty one, we got the
Flying Scotsman to England and we took the whole night

(02:09:43):
to get there. In the morning.

Speaker 4 (02:09:47):
Steam train wasn't how fast did it go?

Speaker 10 (02:09:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:09:52):
I know.

Speaker 4 (02:09:54):
It'll be a wide it'd be a wide gauge. You'd
be quite fast, but not that fast. Not as fast
as those trains in China. Think about three eighty k's.

Speaker 10 (02:10:03):
And just one other thing before you got was on
TV today. England has not England, Britain has got no
more coal fire power stations. They are all finished.

Speaker 4 (02:10:16):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (02:10:18):
And that was on today and now they're working and
this is what they said at the end of the statement.
They're working to get rid of gas in Britain by
two thousand and forty and this government here is trying
to get gas more gas into this country and we're

(02:10:40):
still running cold fire power.

Speaker 4 (02:10:42):
Station on it and the guests, the explorations they're embarking
on are not going to come to fruition until twenty
thirty five. It's just madness.

Speaker 10 (02:10:52):
And also one other funny, you should say that one
other thing. Two weeks ago there was an article beyond
the Internet. There was an article and the Sunday Star
Times about our company that had oil wells off New Zealand.
I don't know where it was. The company went broke

(02:11:13):
and the government had to do the cleanup and it
costs four hundred and fifty million dollars and that will
be on the internet.

Speaker 4 (02:11:22):
Goodness me.

Speaker 10 (02:11:24):
And I'm surprised that this hasn't been on the news,
and then it was on the Sunday Start Times two
weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (02:11:33):
I think people are tom I think people are in
a funny space with all the information that's happening with
this government. They almost seem to be shell shocked with it.
And I think people also understand that the first term
of a government, you know, there's not much you can
do because they normally get a second term. And people
aren't digesting news anymore. They've given up on it.

Speaker 10 (02:11:52):
And also another article was in the Sunday Star Times.
I think it was a lot now it was two
weeks ago, and they reckon in two years time, there's
going to be a big inflop of cheap electric cars
into New Zealand and the bottom is going to fill.

Speaker 4 (02:12:11):
Out of the car market, out of the diesel car market,
I mean the petrol car. Well, yeah, the chart. Where
China's got with battery cars is extraordinary. They'll be cheapest chips.
It'll be the Japanese accorded of Japanese cars fifty years ago,
and our fleet will completely change.

Speaker 6 (02:12:30):
Yes, you and I know that.

Speaker 3 (02:12:33):
You and I know that.

Speaker 4 (02:12:33):
The other doubter is I mean, they're kind of they're
petrol heads. They go on and on about it. But
it's going to change. There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 10 (02:12:41):
I'm going to say something to you before you go.
Every time we got a national government, we seem to
go backwards.

Speaker 22 (02:12:49):
And lots of ways.

Speaker 10 (02:12:51):
This government seems to want to keep us in the
sixties instead and where we should.

Speaker 4 (02:12:56):
Be the eighteen sixties.

Speaker 10 (02:12:59):
Yes, we even got roads overseas for electric bikes and
nuts in Holland the.

Speaker 5 (02:13:06):
Broads.

Speaker 4 (02:13:08):
Nice to hear from your Tom, Thanks that fifteen per
slightly off topic, felt slightly trojanwards Tom, but nice to hear.
My parents ran a hotel in Norfolk on the airline.
Pilots and hostesss would stay at the hotel over night.
At age twelve, I caught my father with one of
the hostesses. Within months, I found myself at boarding school
and rangy Aura would only go home once a year

(02:13:30):
at Christmas. I obviously knew too much. You should write
a book. Always obsessed about Norfolk and I've still never
been there. That's a great story. I caught my father
with one of the hostesses. Wow, I didn't know there
was boarding schools that Rangi Aura used to jump on

(02:13:53):
the Southerner train to my dad's in Timanu from christ Church.
Also went to the expo in eighty eight and os
all on my own. How old when you went to
the expo? My mind? You boring story alert. When the
Expo was in Brisbane at nineteen eighty eight, it seems
for a lot of people went to it. When these

(02:14:15):
days you can't get excited about an expo. I mean,
I don't even know what. I've never been to one.
Well you're gonna go to Brisbane to the expo? Heck, yes,
everyone was doing it, getting jobs at the expo. I
guess just a trade show really, isn't it Anyhow? How
are you going? People? Sixteen past eleven enjoyed everyone tonight,

(02:14:36):
loving the travel stories. Keep those going. Let's keep going
on that bent. I know you guys aren't good at
talking about electric cars. You all get a bit triggered,
but do come through or you know me always love
a Norfolk Island story. One of my favorite sorts of
stories is the Norfolk Island story. So get in touch.
Also talking about zempic, the weight loss drug, GST, and

(02:15:00):
there could be different things. That's amazing about Britain with
no coal fired coal or guest fired plants. I don't
know how much of their power they import. I don't
know how much is nuclear. I don't know how much
is wind or tide. But they've clearly got some better
contingencies than coal and gas, although they're not as isolated

(02:15:25):
as us. But ye, let's hear from your seventeen past
eleven hit til twelve o'clock tonight. Oh, someone's texted through.
Apparently on the news they said that fifty percent of
the UK's power is now from renewables. So what would
the recipe. The rest would be nuclear. I guess would
that be right, because there'd be wind and solar wind
solar would be the renewables. It's pretty interesting how quick

(02:15:45):
things are you. I don't know how much would be
solar private solo on people's houses. I'll talk them, We'll
do a show on solar one day soon. It's not
going to be to night because it's a bit I
don't want to change the whole vibe of the show.
But yeah, it seems as though more and more people
are getting solar power. Has never been cheaper. The whole
make up, the whole panels. Get them on, TIMO. You're
good to go.

Speaker 18 (02:16:06):
Some of us do that.

Speaker 4 (02:16:09):
Maybe we do want to talk about it tonight, but anyway,
we'll earmark that for a discussion before too long. Hey,
all the lines are free now. I'll be nice to
have you talk about your being sent away for the
School of holidays, the sketchy trip your parents sent you
on all alone with your ticket safety pin to your
top or something like that. I don't know how they

(02:16:29):
did it. Those details would be great for me. Get
in touch, Marcus till twelve. There's something different you want
to mention up for that. Open to that tremendously heavy
rain in the south and parts and all side of
the next three days. So just be careful, well, don't
be careful. We just don't go camping. By the way,
why do they call them a pup tent? The text

(02:16:50):
about the pup tent and I couldn't work out why
that was. But let's hear from me if you want
to talk about that or anything else. My name is Marcus.
Welcome Headle, twelve o'clock tonight. Love to hear from you.
And there might be something entirely different you might want
to check in with. You might want to talk about
the north Northern Motivate of Aalkland. There's a crash there.
How much of the delays? How are they going? But

(02:17:12):
yet anything goes perfore midnight tonight. Keep those texts coming
through emails, Mikey Beeban long from twelve people and looking
forward to what you want to do. I just don't
to think. There's another topic that bounced around a bit tonight,
kind of school holiday's daylight savings. It's always kind of

(02:17:33):
a funny old weekness one people's I feel people's rhythms
are kind of out when else get that vibe. Frankie
Valley is still alive. Didn't know that Frankie Valley breaks
silence after sparking health fees with viral performance video. So

(02:17:59):
that's a good thing now, But yet it's work out
what you want to say people. The shop from Open
all Hours is for sale one hundred fifty thou pounds
be worth buying. I don't even know what town does.

(02:18:19):
Some of you will recognize the town and it doesn't
ring a bell to me, But that might be something
else you might want to talk about tonight, Marcus, till
midnight tonight. As I say, all the lines are free
to be hearing from. You, keep the text going. As
I've said, the trips and the places you got sent
away to on your own for school holidays, whether it'd

(02:18:42):
be by railcar or bus or whatever, here's a great text.
People's rhythms are definitely out. I'm currently driving my toddler
around Wellington trying to get them to sleep. Yeah, I
don't know what it is, but I could speak about
that with some authority. Children young children are terrible with

(02:19:11):
daylight savings. It destroys their rhythm. And don't get me
started on the politics of driving a baby to sleep
in the car. It's an act of desperation. All sorts
of people tell you, get in the habit. You've got
to drive them the whole time to get them to sleep.
But good on you, I'm hearing you. On a more

(02:19:34):
positive note, how about Meridian Energy building a soul of
farm at Ruakaka. It will have two hundred and fifty
thousand solar panels and provide half the energy needed to
supply Northland. They have already almost built the one hundred
megawap battery storage facility, to be complete by early next year.
Might as well ignore anything we hear from the government.

(02:19:56):
They appeared to be living in a different world to
the rest of us. It's fair enough comment, Marcus. Is
there much maintenance needed to keep artificial lawn My aunt
wants to replace her backyard with artificial lawns to save
money from mowing. I'm not sure it's a good idea
or not.

Speaker 5 (02:20:13):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (02:20:15):
Someone might want to answer that question. My advice would
be some sort of creeper would be better than plastic
artificial laun It doesn't look good and there'd be a
creeper that doesn't need mowing, some sort of native It
might be pricey to put in. But thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:20:32):
So there we go.

Speaker 4 (02:20:33):
Some questions there for you, as well as looking forward
to your calls. But Marcus, the UK has nine powered
generators have a five euclar power generators. So there we go,
And of course to New Zealand. The majority of New
Zealand is hydro. But we know about hydro is that
you can't store it forever. It's why they wanted that

(02:20:54):
whole Lake Onslow project, which is stymied, so we haven't
got the reliability, although I think the lakes will certainly
be full at this time of the year. Down South
twenty five past eleven. Looking for to your travel stories too.
We have been sent far and wide by your family
on the school holidays unaccompanied. Marcus. Nineteen o eight was

(02:21:17):
a big year for me. My parents went to the
World Expo. Cyclone Bowler hit Gisbone. I got epilepsy and
met my daughter. Oh, I met my daughter's dad. I
was twelve, Sarah, thank you, Well, that's good thought, I
did say, I did read that text wrong, and I
thought said I was no.

Speaker 11 (02:21:37):
No.

Speaker 4 (02:21:37):
That was a big year for me. My parents went
to the Expo. Cyclone Boller hit Gisbine, I got epilepsy
and I met my daughter dad. I wasn't got sure
what a daughter dad was, but I think it must
be daughter's dad. That makes more sense. Marcus. My sister
and I were brought up in Finuepai. Our father was
in the Air Force. In the school holidays, we were
put on the endover aircraft to Woodburn to our grandparents.

(02:22:01):
We're under ten and the plane stopped. Oh haakia, and
didn't know it was our stop. Sister got air second,
didn't know what to do with a sick bag. I
said give it here and I chucked out of the
backseat of the bus. We were going on to the
waiting room to wait until getting back on the plane.
Sister was horrified at me, but I still laugh at it.
There we go stories about that. We're good to hear
from you. And I've got the damn Miss Daisy jingle,

(02:22:24):
Miss Daisy jingle, and my could be jingle of the air.
That one, the Miss Daisy jingle. It's got me totally
earwormed today, like it a lot, good service to and
all that. Anyway, eight hundred eighty ty nine to nine
to text Marcus till midnight. Hi George, Welcome, Hi Marcus. Nice.

Speaker 16 (02:22:48):
Yeah, okay, look you're talking about kids going on holidays.
I originally came from Switzerland and my two kids were
born here in New Zealand And at the age of
eleven sort of, they stay started to get embarrassed when
they brought their school pads home and said talk Danish dad.
They were embarrassed, so I thought, oh, well, I want

(02:23:10):
them to keep up their little Swiss language. So I said,
would you like to go and see your parents your
grandparents in Switzerland? And oh, that would be wonderful. So
off they went with a little tag around their neck.
The first one, the age of eleven, unaccompanied minor. We
center off on a Friday before Easter and Tuesday after Easter.

(02:23:35):
They got integrated into the Subis school system for three months.
When they came back, they never let go of the
Swiss language because they knew they had one up against
the other kids. They spoke a second language. I just thought,
they let you know, how.

Speaker 4 (02:23:51):
Long would they in Switzerland for.

Speaker 16 (02:23:53):
George three months each first the older one, two years
later the little one.

Speaker 4 (02:23:59):
So you must have given them quite a bit of that.
Must have bead quite a bit of the language anyway
from you with the base today.

Speaker 16 (02:24:04):
Look, it is quite common year in New Zealand, especially
with farmers, where the kids up to the age of
school doesn't They don't hear any much else than the
Dutch or the Swiss or whatever, and it's then the
doubtful duty of the teacher to teach them the first
English it still happened.

Speaker 4 (02:24:24):
So may They weren't nervous about flying all that way.
They're quite happy about it.

Speaker 16 (02:24:28):
They enjoyed it, they loved it. They got taken by
the hand by your grand stewardess and led off onto
the plane. And in Singapore they locked them up into
a room that we come and get you again, had
some toys and papers and books there, and they absolutely
enjoyed it. They still talk about this.

Speaker 4 (02:24:46):
Great cool Thanks so much, George. Nice to hear from you. Wait,
that's Marcus welcome. Oh hi, right, good, thank you, you're good,
good wife. What are you going to say?

Speaker 22 (02:24:56):
Oh, just one lady little gun around driving the toddler
and the categy because of the title is over. I'll
fully understanding because I've got I've got a a four
year old myself and she's having real troubles kind of sleep,
completely throwing the routine.

Speaker 3 (02:25:13):
Now.

Speaker 4 (02:25:14):
It's because it's because of daylight savings a wide.

Speaker 22 (02:25:17):
Yeah, yeah, it happens every year.

Speaker 4 (02:25:19):
It destroys both ends, destroys kids for about two weeks.

Speaker 6 (02:25:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:25:23):
Yeah, you know, I can't work out what. I can't
work out why, I.

Speaker 22 (02:25:28):
Reckon it's because because they're going to well, what was
my one late? Put its sleeping until like daylight, and
she's like, no, I want to go out, but then
she's half in the morning and then it's freaking a
dark But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:25:42):
We're talking of fine balancing at getting kids to sleep,
and when that routine goes, or that rhythm goes, it
can be knocked out to think really easily, and it's
really hard to get back into it.

Speaker 22 (02:25:53):
Yeah, it doesn't take much you have you.

Speaker 4 (02:25:55):
Have kids, if you had kids to wake now Wade.

Speaker 22 (02:25:59):
Oh, well, I've got my daughter and being but she's
still making wizards. But I'm just leaving her alone at
the moment, so hopefully you'll go to sleep soon.

Speaker 4 (02:26:08):
It's one of the great things putting a baby down
to sleep. You've got to be so gentle, whether it
in case you wake them up. It's like kind of
diffusing a bomb dropping them down. Nice to hear from you, Wade,
Thank you twenty eight to twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome, Welcome, welcome,
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eight nine two ninety
two to text if you want to come through, be
good to hear from you. It's all about everything. But
mainly about the place is just seeing your kids, you

(02:26:29):
know what I'm saying. Not the place you're send your kids,
but sending kids on long holidays. Ummm, what else have
I got to tell you? No, it's lines free, people
do come through, do come through. So the house for

(02:26:52):
sale on Open all Hours I think is in don Caster.
They wouldn't have filmed the show there. I think they
just would have got the external shots. Am I right?
I can't find the article again now Open all Hours?

(02:27:15):
Maybe it was filmed in the air. I don't want
to be filming it in Doncaster where you can buy
it for one hundred and fifty grand pounds pounds pounds.
Plans drawn up for a four and a half million
pounds cycle path to run through the hat to Sleay
of London. They're doubling down on bikes. Yes, it is

(02:27:40):
the iconic shop from Open all Hours. It is in Doncaster,
South Yorkshire. The show appeared in the seventy show Open
Hours as the exterior of Arkwright's convenience store. It would

(02:28:00):
be a great thing to buy. I think it's got
accommodation as well, brilliant. You'd want to do it up
as it was in the shop it was called it
was called Ark Rights. That's right, Sarah. Hello, it's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 26 (02:28:17):
Hello there.

Speaker 4 (02:28:18):
How are you good, Sarah? How are you all right?

Speaker 26 (02:28:20):
Yeah, I'm good, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:28:22):
Up.

Speaker 26 (02:28:22):
Late, as a child, I was sent away to a
health camp. It was called a health camp. We lived
in Manuiba, and this health camp was at out at
Henderson somewhere of actually forgotten where it is, but a
few months ago I took a drive out there and

(02:28:45):
had a look to see if it was still there,
and sure enough I didn't go right in because it
had been turned into a private house and I think
a wedding venue.

Speaker 20 (02:28:59):
Okay, when we went, when we went in.

Speaker 26 (02:29:05):
The drive over the cattle stop, I said, oh, what
are all those bumps for? And it was a cattle
stop going over a little river. And then we went
up in this health camp. It turned out to be
a religious health camp, and I from day one don't

(02:29:26):
follow religion at all. But we had a lot of fun.
And every night they had done something to a record,
the same record with a big crack in it, and
it just kept repeating itself. So somebody actually changed it
or moved something to make it move on.

Speaker 4 (02:29:46):
Wow, And how did you whereabouts is the health camp?

Speaker 2 (02:29:50):
Now?

Speaker 4 (02:29:51):
Did you? Could you find it quite easily? Did you
when you drive out there?

Speaker 11 (02:29:55):
No?

Speaker 26 (02:29:55):
No, I was a child and we were taken on
a bus fall.

Speaker 4 (02:30:00):
Sorry did you say you got out there's an adult
and found it? And now it's a yes, so I did.

Speaker 26 (02:30:05):
And I've been trying since I've been trying to phone you.
I've been trying to think of its name. It was
a sunny name.

Speaker 4 (02:30:13):
And it's not the Carey Park degree No agree, Oh, no, look,
I know not agree. We we had a we had
a kindergarten party out there, from a Catholic kindergarten I
was at. We went out to knock and agree from Yeah,
and I do know where. That was quite a famous
place spell knock and agree.

Speaker 26 (02:30:36):
No, neither do I. And do you know that name?
I've been trying for an hour to think I.

Speaker 4 (02:30:41):
Could have told you that knock agree, it's quite famous.
It's a strange name and knock agree neither.

Speaker 5 (02:30:48):
Street.

Speaker 26 (02:30:50):
It was run by nuns, yes, and they took us
for walks at night to watch them.

Speaker 4 (02:30:57):
That's why our kindy would have gone out there, because
it was owned by the Catholic church, Knock and Agree. Yeah,
quite right.

Speaker 26 (02:31:03):
Yeah, and well we were watched the ants at night
with the lights what they called.

Speaker 4 (02:31:12):
Yes, I wish it'd called earlier. We could have had
all night on and Agree. It's certainly big in my
early childhood memories.

Speaker 26 (02:31:18):
Did you stay there?

Speaker 4 (02:31:20):
Look, I don't. I think we just had a kindergarten
picnic out there, But I remember, I mean it seemed
I mean probably the reason, like you, Sarah, I remember
it so clearly is because Knock and Agree is such
a strange name. But I certainly remember the whole family
going out in the car. We all drove out there.
It must have been a day of games and sort
of some some religious activities, but it was very much

(02:31:42):
just for the day.

Speaker 26 (02:31:44):
Well, if you're anywhere there, go and check it out,
because I think it's a private property and it opens
to wedding venues.

Speaker 4 (02:31:55):
Yeah, we'll check that out. So I think I think
about that quite often.

Speaker 26 (02:31:58):
Yeah, oh no, I think I remember going twice, and
I the boys were at one end of this ballroom
place and the girls were at the other end.

Speaker 4 (02:32:14):
And I presume health camps in those days, Sarah was
just to sort of feed you good food and stuff.
Is that what it was about.

Speaker 26 (02:32:21):
No, that it probably was and parents a break, yeah,
plus drummers into religion because there was a lot of
religion going on. But yeah, I'm one of seven children,
and I think my brother came with me one year.

(02:32:43):
I'm not sure if he did or not.

Speaker 20 (02:32:45):
But I'm in the middle of.

Speaker 26 (02:32:46):
The seven and in those days, there was no help.
There was no nothing, that's right, right.

Speaker 4 (02:32:55):
I think normally health camps were run by the government.
There was ones at Roxburgh, the South End, there was
ones at Buckland's Beach. I don't think they're normally run
by religious groups. But this it might have been different
than those days.

Speaker 26 (02:33:06):
Yeah, yeah, oh, but this is and we loved it.
And there was a waterfall.

Speaker 4 (02:33:13):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 18 (02:33:13):
You loved it.

Speaker 4 (02:33:13):
I thought you're going to say it a sketchy experience.
I'm happy with that.

Speaker 26 (02:33:17):
Yeah. No, we love the waterfall and we love going
for walks at night to see the what are the
films with the light of their tails?

Speaker 4 (02:33:26):
Worms?

Speaker 26 (02:33:27):
Glow worms, that's right. Yeah, there are a lot of
glow worms. I don't know if there's still there. And
I don't ever remember seeing a glow worm ever since
I've never ever seen another one?

Speaker 4 (02:33:39):
Are you still in Auckland?

Speaker 26 (02:33:41):
Well? No, now I'm up in Manga Baroa Youah, yes,
I have had a good life. Lots of ways go
on a lot more about that.

Speaker 4 (02:33:53):
That's how come your life worked out so well?

Speaker 26 (02:33:56):
Adam?

Speaker 4 (02:33:57):
How come your life worked out so well? Sarah?

Speaker 26 (02:34:00):
How well? Because people would say to me, oh, you
should do this, and you should do that, and I
didn't do anything. And I still hate being told.

Speaker 5 (02:34:10):
What to do.

Speaker 4 (02:34:12):
So what did you do?

Speaker 9 (02:34:13):
The other day?

Speaker 26 (02:34:15):
I was at the doctors and some strange woman said
to me, or you should sit in that chair. I
didn't want to bloody.

Speaker 4 (02:34:22):
Well, isn't it No, it's quite strong world.

Speaker 26 (02:34:25):
Well, I don't know that I'm a strong world. I
can be weak. But the thing is, I know what
I want to do, and nobody else can get into
my brain at that moment.

Speaker 10 (02:34:39):
Can they No?

Speaker 26 (02:34:41):
But they think they can, and they think they're doing
me a favor by telling me.

Speaker 5 (02:34:46):
What I should do.

Speaker 20 (02:34:49):
Wow.

Speaker 26 (02:34:49):
And the other day at the doctor's why I wanted
to sit where I was was because I was facing
where the doctor was going to come from, and I
could see her down the passageway and I could have
got up and she wouldn't have come to me if
I'd sit with this other woman wanted me to sit.
My back was tw everything and I hate my back.

Speaker 4 (02:35:13):
Oh no, what did this? That's on the back? So
I know that sounds very sensible. Oh that's good about
Knock and Degree. I'm excited about that, sarahs So thank
you West Coast Road. I know that area well. But yeah,
that certainly is a name that rings a bell. I
think it's a famous Scottish town called Knock and Agree.
I think that's the way it works. How are you
going people? My name is Marcus. Welcome. What's happening in
your neck of the woods? Neck of the Woods eight

(02:35:33):
hundred and eighty ten eighty but a history tonight? Hi, Marcus?
Don Caster Rovers are in league to an English football
Thank you, Marcus. I remember the introduction of GST, Grab
Snatch and take free. Well, I got married two weeks
after the introduction and managed to prepay most of the
cost to avoid the g eight's GST saving was about

(02:35:57):
three or four hundred dollars, minuscule compared to the years
of marriage. Loll Chris Loull getting touch hitdle twelve eighteen
to midnight high valids. Marcus, welcome vel, Good evening.

Speaker 6 (02:36:10):
Good evening, Marcus. You were talking about the change of time,
you know, the daylight saving. It's got a thing called
season effect of deficiency. Said, I was diagnosed with it

(02:36:31):
where I was quite young, and it's called said.

Speaker 4 (02:36:35):
Do your clips in the winter go into a dark thug.

Speaker 6 (02:36:39):
No, it's it's now when when it changes from from
summer to this daylight saving. I'm just hopeless for three
weeks till I get used to the change of timing.

Speaker 4 (02:36:55):
We're sensed of people. We don't like the change. Not
good for anyone.

Speaker 6 (02:36:59):
No, it's not good. But they call it seasonal effect
of deficiency.

Speaker 4 (02:37:04):
Okay, a child didn't have daylight savings ended day, I suppose.

Speaker 6 (02:37:09):
Oh well, yes, just at the end of the war
we had a bit of daylight saving. You probably don't
remember that. In the nineteen forties we used to be
able to play outside until after nine o'clock because the
day it didn't change until it didn't get dark till
after nine o'clock. M hm, Whereas normally, you know, ordinary time,

(02:37:32):
it used to be dark about I say eight o'clock.
Have I sate that I lived in the in the country,
you know, where we had hells and things around.

Speaker 4 (02:37:44):
Do they give you anything? Four SAIDs.

Speaker 6 (02:37:48):
No, you just got to live with it till you
get through the first three weeks of the change over.

Speaker 4 (02:37:54):
Can they give you a sun, lamb or anything, or
a foreign holiday?

Speaker 14 (02:37:58):
Not that I know of.

Speaker 6 (02:37:59):
No, No, I just have to put up with it.
Did you feel that I get up too early? You see,
because I guess up at the late I should say,
I guess up at the same time I used to.
You know, if I used to get up at seven o'clock,
I still get up at eight o'clock.

Speaker 4 (02:38:16):
Did you feel that? Did you feel the quake where
you are today? Well?

Speaker 6 (02:38:20):
Yes, I did.

Speaker 4 (02:38:21):
I'm in pepper m any good the quake, was it?

Speaker 6 (02:38:24):
Or just it wasn't too bad on the second floor,
you know?

Speaker 4 (02:38:29):
Goodness?

Speaker 6 (02:38:30):
Yeah, And I was the thing a friend she didn't
feel it. But she also had a crystal lamp with
that little things hanging all over it, and I thought, now,
that's an earthquake. And when I looked at the length,
the things were going flat out. But she didn't feel it.

Speaker 4 (02:38:47):
Was how insensitive she must be not to feel a
quake like that.

Speaker 6 (02:38:51):
About four o'clock.

Speaker 4 (02:38:52):
Yeah, yeah, I think about ninety five, but you'll be
on a pre daylight savings time. I think it was
about four vur. Nice to talk twelve away from twelve
or the twelves, mikey beeB long after me tonight. Nice
to hear from you. Oh here, no midnight. My name
is Marcus.

Speaker 30 (02:39:09):
Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Two days
gone of the school holidays if you're counting those things down,
and three days of rain forecast. This cruise ship has
gone back to Belfast. This is the one that people have.

(02:39:29):
It was supposed to be a three year voyage.

Speaker 4 (02:39:31):
They've been standing in Belfast for four months and it
finally set sail, but then it got sent back. Yeah,
twenty seven pounds a month. Terrible passages of all that. Finally,

(02:39:56):
if passengers aboard the ship were told this one, they're
having to return to the port to compete some final paperwork.
Not going well. Twelve away from midnight. I'm yet to
meet anyone that's got the information about the nineteen sixty
nine degree kindergarten party. But that's all right, Nothing anything
bad happened there. That's fine. Nine from twelve. My name

(02:40:19):
is Marcus. Welcome. How are you going people? You haven't
got anything earth chattering happening. By the way, if you're
in the State Highway one north of Auckland, there are
diversions there because there's been an excellent I think a
car hit a person State Hiway one. I don't quite
know the details if there was a person on the
motor waves we go through walk with, but there'll be

(02:40:40):
diversions there. People. So we are talking about school holidays
and been sent away on your road in the school holidays.
Have enjoyed those stories a great deal. Do you want
to add to those? It'd be nice to hear from you.

(02:41:01):
Marcus till twelve, eight hundred and eighty tenenty and nine
two nine two to text. Anything goes for the final,
but there might be something different you want to talk
about mentioned quickly before the end. You might have a
traffic report or something. You might be heading off to
don Castered by the open all hours shop. One more
call will be great for me though, before the end

(02:41:22):
or two. Marcus timu to a light therapy box for
seasonal affected disorder for eighteen dollars sixty seven. It's kind
of a point of pride for me to have never
bought anything from Timu, And to be fair, I'm not

(02:41:43):
finding it that hard to keep to that promise. I'm
yet to see anything that looks good that might change sometime,
though how would I know. I don't know what would
be something that I could see on the air that
would think, gee, I need one of those. But I'll

(02:42:04):
keep you posted on that, Marcus. Have you seen the
new Bee film? Katie. No, I'm not in the film
going frame of mind at the moment. What's that about.
Haven't been to the movies for a while.

Speaker 26 (02:42:20):
Now.

Speaker 4 (02:42:21):
I can't really think of the reason for that. I
think the last movie im I've have seen was Rise
of Skywalker. I don't like animated films, and I don't
like superhero films, and the kids are sort of in
that phase. I like a trolls film, I like a
padding to the Three. I'll go see that. But there

(02:42:41):
hasn't been a movie that's sort of been a family
movie that's come around for all of us to go
to in recent times. One of the boys are going
to a movie tomorrow. What are they going to go see?
What did he say He's going to go see there's
a movie that's on. I can't work out what the
new movie. I'll let you know tomorrow what it's like. Anyway,

(02:43:02):
I'll tell you what it is readings. It'll be in
the cargo. It's not quite a common one. Might be Transformer, No,
would it be must be Transformers one. I know nothing
about it. I thought there was an old film. Was
it animated? Looks terrible? Then I wouldn't go see that.

(02:43:26):
Discover the origin behind the rivalry. Oh, it's a origin
story thing, and I couldn't be sitting through that endlessly. Anyway. Hey,
six away from twelve. You've got to come through for
the final person before I go out eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine nine to text, So hitdle twelve,

(02:43:50):
get in touch. I've been reading about the Australian radio ratings,
the fact that old Kyle and Jack e Oh tried
to go into Melbourne gone down read badly there just say,
you know, two hundred million dollar deal. I'm not quite

(02:44:12):
sure whether I pull the pin or not, but that's
been of interest to me today reading a little bit
about that. Enough set anyway, watch the space. It might
be quite hard to crack the Australian radio market. I
think the cities are quite regional with what they like.
That's my interpretation of that. It's pretty crude. I think

(02:44:34):
the Kyle Show Melbourn's probably a bit more sophisticated for that.
Thanks to all those people sent me through information about
not Agree. Looked like I could have bought it a
couple of years back it was for sale. Surprised they
have places in the shop in the waiting rooms where
I could have you back to the doctor. Must be

(02:44:55):
kind of a different couldn't kind of imagine the woman's
layout when she was talking about that. It's where my
mind went. I think the debates on is the debate,
but I think there's a debate between jade E Vance
and the Democratic guy that's going to happen before too.
Oh there's some shots of knock and agree. Yeah, it

(02:45:16):
looks familiar.

Speaker 5 (02:45:20):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (02:45:21):
The success of a Catholic school's religious education program is
spur the church to tell a camp it's owned for
seventy years, there you go, you since nineteen thirty nine
to teach Catholic education to students during school holiday breaks.

Speaker 5 (02:45:40):
Huh.

Speaker 4 (02:45:43):
I'm sure plenty of people have been through there there
might be a topic for another night. Anyway, I shall
return to her. If you need to email me Marcus
at News Talks, he'd be dot colon Mikey Beebans along
next Marcus. I was eleven, my sister was nine. We're
put on a plane and a companied to Australia then
on to Parp. When you get in the schools to
see who dad, to see our dad that was in

(02:46:04):
