of new shark sightings and whale strandings and the likes.

at this time of the year do we let people
know what's going on. So if you've got a breaking news,
text us or call that through nine to nine two

there is the last chance to see this atless comet
up over comets until a comet actually lights up the sky.

septic skeptic anyway, the ickn p. Harold Bethel's is good
for this one. In the next few nights, you look
at Venux, look at Venus and go to the left
one and a half, one and a half handspans. I
guess it depends how long your arm is. If you've
seen that, let us know. Oh, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty. Here's me saying, I'm not interested in comments.

(01:40):
And the more I get down the story, the more
fast than I am go figure Also to your predictions
for twenty twenty five. Keep those going, but make them interesting.
It needs to be a unique one that hasn't been
said before. And the best prediction, the most accurate and
exciting prediction from next year wins. By the way, the UK,

(02:08):
ten percent of people have more than three cups of
coffee to kick off their day. Is that wrong? T
t Well, you need one cup of coffe or three
cups of tea? Would the highs come the lows? They

(02:30):
don't so much enjoy the first markets the second one
that gets them going I've got predictions. You can email
those through Marcus at newstalk ZB dot co dot nz
if you've got predictions for twenty twenty five. I find
all of them fairly interesting. Hello Marcus, Mark, Marquee or Marquis.

(02:53):
Don't now it's pronounce for win Moto GP, Russian, Ukraine
wallll end both sides run out of steam. DMZ established
monitored by Europeans. No US large earthquake on Pacific rim
of fire be more surprising if that didn't happen. China

the human footprint from within the park. These are all predictions.
Get yours going if you've got something to say, Oh
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine to text. Yes,

(04:10):
I've got a prediction from the UK. My prediction is
treasent trumplan announcing intention to NX New Zealand. Why we've
even got rare ruth metals have we? This is a
group of couple from the UK that also have witnessed
wallabies on the run in the United Kingdom in Somerset
beyond their natural range. It's been a while since we've

(04:31):
had a wallaby sarting, but I feel it's that kind
of the season. But if there is breaking news, happened
the next three hours fifty three minutes and all across
it three hours forty eight minutes, three hours forty nine minutes,
so eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to
nine ty dicks. By the way to tomorrow it is
the first day, oh no first day of parliaments to

(04:53):
twenty eighth of January. But tomorrow Luxon will deliver the
State of the Nation's speech. I think we all know
what the state of the nation is. It's not good.
But anyway, that's happening tomorrow. Thirty nine days until the
RL and twelve hundred and seventy seven days until New
Zealand's total Eclipse. I can't wait for that. Just so

(05:17):
you know, the A League is on tonight. I'll keep
you updated from that. That starts at nine thirty. That's
Adelaide versus Auckland FC. So all the goals, I'll let
you know when they happen, just so you know. That's
the chance. Anyway, get in touch. You want to be
a part of an eight hundred and eighty Teddy and
nine two de text by him as Marcus Welcome. The

(05:37):
one question I didn't have to to ask you, since
you're all probably coming back from holiday or been away,
which place in the country have the best smagas board? Curious?
You know, one flat for you go and pay your
money as much as where will that be the best?
I presume every provincial town's got one, have they? Something

(06:00):
We've never really talked about smaggas boards. I just enjoy
saying the words. You might have something to say about that.
I experienced Marbles and New Plymouth. That was pretty good. Well,
it's busy, there's four hundred people there. Cheapers. She's a
fairly full on thing with logistics. But I thought, well,
I guess most towns have probably got one like that,

(06:23):
So smagers boards, Borg board, borg Borg bog Borg board.
Don't know how it's said, I'll google it later on.
So smagers board and breaking news and predictions. That's what
we'll start with tonight. More topics will become available. I
can promise you that loving the coffee interesting dinner. I

(06:45):
cooked some of those dried fish sapsap you ever cooked
sap sap? The shop and there was this bag of
tiny dried fish. I thought I'll try those. They're quite nice.
I think it's a Malaysian dish and the house stinks
of fish now. But that's just the way the world,
isn't it. Like dried tytle fish sap SAPs. Someone will
know about them. He had to soak them for an

(07:06):
hour and fry them up step steps. That's I've seen
it again, gorgeous looking little fish. Anyway, just bringing in
the Malaysian community to the show to diversify step steps.
What am I saying everything twice? Now we'll start with you.

(07:27):
You're a left of scene to Giny, and I like that.
Ginnett's Marcus, greetings and good evening and welcome.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Hi, Yes, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
He are you good?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Ginny? You sound like a live wire Welcome.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, I've just got back from from Cheth Africa
and I've just picked up a large diamondstone from underground
Morning Company. What's we're going the in Seth Africa?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Okay, this was an unexpected call. So you were in
South Africa on holiday?

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
And how did you pick up the diamond?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
And my family work over there, they work underground and
we they picked up a one and a half hero
of a diamond stain.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It's a big diamond, yes, how big.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Okaya would be the size of your fast.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, but surely that would be the world's biggest diamond,
would it not?

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Ah? No, not really no, no, no no, But we're
just bred at home here in New Zealand and it's
now sitting in a safe cabinet in a security box.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Did you go in the mine with the family yourself? Yes,
and you saw this giant diamond and you said I'll
have that.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well it's a good story, Jenny, thank you. What else
could you say? Will you sell it, Ginny Padam? Will
you sell it?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Definitely not. We've got a value on it. It's unvaluable.
It's public. We say, it's called priceless.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
So how much is priceless worth.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Probably in public you can und about one point five billion?

Speaker 6 (09:32):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Which part of the country you and Ginny?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
I'm sorry, I'm in South Africa?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
You're still in South Africa?

Speaker 7 (09:48):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
What time is it there?

Speaker 8 (09:51):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's only a bit have used twelve in the morning
or now tonight?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh goodness? What part of South Africa are you in?

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Cape?

Speaker 9 (10:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
And is it where you live?

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Because you sound like a New Zealander.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well, I've been the years, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
It says it's nine o'clock, nine seventeen.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, this yal on time, isn't it?

Speaker 10 (10:25):
No date?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Seventeen? Thanks Ginny. Juliet's Marcus, welcome, Hi Julie.

Speaker 11 (10:34):
Good evening.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think she's pulling your legs, but she seemed I
liked your self belief.

Speaker 11 (10:41):
I want to know about the comet. Where do I
look for it?

Speaker 12 (10:48):
South?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
There will be All the comics have been so disappointing.
I've been able to look at so many of them, Haley.

Speaker 11 (10:55):
When Hailey's comic came through eighty seven, I think it
was eighty yeah, eighty seven, two o'clock in the morning.
John drove for RFL at the time, and we looked
over to the west and there it was, and that
was the most amazing thing to see that. So that returns.

(11:18):
I think every seventy five years.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
You'll see a streak in the sky and then over
the next week it'll get fainter and fainter.

Speaker 13 (11:28):
From what from an hour.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
After sunset, which is when the comic wed it's brightest.
What you'll needs a good clear view towards the southwest.

Speaker 11 (11:39):
Ah, that's where I stood out in the bloody cold
the other I excuse the B word, but I didn't
see a jolly thing and I was there for two
hours and didn't see a thing.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Did you see Venus?

Speaker 11 (11:54):
Well, I usually stopped Mercury because that's they call the
evening star, and that's the closest planet to the Sun,
so that's the first one that comes up. So I'm
not too sure where Venus is from there, because you should.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
See Venus shining really brightly at this time of the
night now after sunset, and the comments should be visible
to the left of Venus in the sky.

Speaker 11 (12:18):
Thank you so much, MARCOSPHO do it?

Speaker 2 (12:20):
So you go sour west and I think.

Speaker 11 (12:23):
That lady was pulling your leg.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, what did you say that was true.

Speaker 11 (12:30):
Well, she got the.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Time wrong for a start, and the accent wrong. Yes,
and then she said then she said that had its
value and it's priceless.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Well it was a good It.

Speaker 11 (12:44):
Was a bit of a practical joke.

Speaker 13 (12:46):
I think didn't.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Sound like a joker. Marcus. I predict twenty twenty five
the first contact with extraterrestrial life, and they will request
Donald Trump to represent them. Apparently it's shay In. Is
that that last caller's name? People must know her? Yeah,

(13:09):
what is to consider the surf lifesaver? But Shane's normally
spotting snow, isn't she? Do you remember a story about
self life saver? Could you text the person back on
sixty one five and ask the more information. I'd like
to know what that's about, Marcus. I saw the comment
from my house in Lower Heart. It was a beautiful thing.

(13:30):
Had to use the binoculars and all the best. Barry, Yeah,
get in touch. So with the predictions, they've got to
be predictions. It's the best prediction that's true. You can't
just say Trump will be assassinated because probably three hundred
people have seen that thread of people have seen that
three sevens area will be found predictions the UK will

(13:54):
have a major postal problem. Technology will grow exponentially. Something
new is introduced that will change how we communicate the future.
An earthquake over eight in California, Chinese civil war and
a major car manufacturer will go. This is a text

(14:17):
I like, can't see the comet ended up telling our
eight year old that Venus was the comet in order
to avoid disappointment. That's a great thing to know because
kids don't care. It's a brilliant thing to do. I'm
not advocating lying to children, but if the children out
there watching at night, watching looking for common it's not there.

(14:40):
Why not give them something else rather than destroying their joy.
Eight twenty one. My name is Marcus Hitd on midnight
jets Now someone's texting me, oh, there is bioluminescence. Bioluminescence

(15:02):
may be seen in carpety after a spectacular light show
on beach on Tuesday night. Bioluminescence is a camry action
that takes place within some organisms, causing them to admit
a light known as bioluminescence. I'll tell you something I
see quite often, quite often with your douve. You'll give
it a shows and there'll be blue light. Anyone else

(15:24):
get that? Sometimes you're staying elsewhere and think, hang on,
what's that? And it's bioluminescence of the douvet or douna
because I feel a bit of good. Anyone else experience that? Yeah,
that's a topic. Actually do the by iluminescence. I'm all

(15:48):
in for that. Actually be a good name for a
race horse. And do they bioluminescence breaks for home? Do
the bioluminescence? No, it's not a thing, but it does

(16:14):
give off sparks sometimes. I'm never quite sure what that is.
Am I mentioned that? Or do sometimes doveys give off
give off sparks? Or was it my energy? Now I'm
trying to think of I mentioned it. Blanket sparks are

(16:35):
common and dry in your environments. They are harmless and
pose minimal risk. Didn't think i'd have a dry environment.
Well look at me with my dry environment. Good evening, Eleen,
it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
Oh Marcus first.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Ellen, you sound what you sound?

Speaker 14 (17:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Good, nice to hear from you.

Speaker 9 (17:02):
Okay, call from Grisboll. No, I'm just regarding meteors. I
was in Hamilton, standing on the deck of a house
in two thy fifteen, I think it was. And it
was an overcast day. It was about three o'clock in
the afternoon in Hamilton, and there was a patch of

(17:24):
blue sky and I leaned back. I can't my head up,
it's all for you. But anyway, I leaned back and
I looked at it this I don't know what made
me look up. Looked up. Next minute, the sky above
the overcast day clouds, the sky lit up like lightning,

(17:44):
but it didn't go away. And I'm watching, thinking what
the hell's caused that? And about half a second later,
this meteor comes powering through. It was about the size
of a bus. It had it had white heat coming
off for those The center section of it was gray

(18:09):
and the tail had white heat. There was no smoke,
and this thing wasn't going flat out where it disappeared
within about a second. I watched this thing for very
small maybe two seconds, and I think the body looked blurry.
I think that was because the heat coming off the

(18:32):
nose and it made the body look gray.

Speaker 10 (18:37):
And yeah, and it.

Speaker 9 (18:41):
Passed through totally amazing. It was like a small bus and.

Speaker 15 (18:46):
If it had a number under it, you would have.

Speaker 9 (18:47):
Been able to see it, and I waited the next
day seeing what happened.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Nothing.

Speaker 9 (18:56):
No, no, there was one that landed north of auckron
Well in a lake somewhere. They reported it and I
was listening.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I remember that. Did you say did you say you
can't look up?

Speaker 9 (19:11):
Yeah? Where I next few seven places? I had bad
excent when I was twenty nine, but.

Speaker 10 (19:21):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 9 (19:22):
Totally in awe of what I saw and still are.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I think we're finding more of than now. There's a
there's a what's the website? What's the group that finds
them from webcams? So if you see if you see meteorites,
now it's worth actually getting on the internet and saying
where you've seen them, because they're tracking them down from
webcams and they're fine. Well, they found one several years
years ago, and the money at alltal then says, we're
at the wy our Mouth. We are still daylight. That's right.
I think we're daylight here too. The only post where

(19:51):
it wasn't daylight was South Africa. You've got to learn
your time things. That's the easiest one to get wrong.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty night smorgasboards. It's
one of the topics and predictions, another one of the topics,
and anything else you want to talk about, and other topics.

(20:13):
As I say, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, there
has been a partial building collapse in Sydney's Buwarod, a
ten story building. This is breaking news. Fell into an
excavator which is now holding the building up. Here is

(20:34):
a worker inside the cabin of the excavator. He is
safe and able to get out, but has been told
to stay pot for the integrity of the building. Get
amongst that. My name is Marcus. Welcome, how you're going,
oh by the way? Next week for some of you
will be a short week, anniversary weekend. Not a big

(20:59):
fan of anniversary weekends. I'm not a big fan of
news Ina with a lot of different re provinces. One of
the things I find less interesting than most is provinces.
Who is even passionate about a province? Not me, but

(21:20):
anyway north of Topour on Monday, you'll know this, but
to be a four day week for you. Although a
lot of people aren't back at work anywhere, The schools
seem to be forever away. The kids's got two more
weeks so we've been away with them for five weeks.
Goodness me. Their behavior is devolving and people have loved

(21:45):
how Jenny wasn't phased by any of the questions and
quite forward thinking with their answers. Go Jenny, oh wait
her an eighty eight Addy Predictions for twenty twenty five
and reports from the campground too. You might be in
some I delict spot. Let us know what I delict
spot you are listening from. By the way, last night

(22:06):
a guy rang Hunter who was walking along Riiti Beach
and he was going to do the Ta the Tia
travel trail and he was going to finish at bluff
at ten o'clock this morning. Well, I went there at
ten o'clock, he wasn't there. I went there eleven o'clock,
he wasn't there. When there twelve o'clock, he wasn't there.

(22:28):
So at the end of the at the end of
State Hawaii Wan, there is a sign that people love
to have their photo taken by. It points to all
the different directions Kumagar. You know, it's very famous. It's
the most photographed thing in Southland. And what quite often
happens is couples arrive where In fact, as I was

(22:51):
watching one guy biked and his partner met him and
they have a photograph at the bottom of New Zealand.
But there's often no one to take your photo, so
you've got to ask a rando, oh excuse me, because
take a shot of us together? Standard right, that's how
the world works to feel, oh can you take a

(23:13):
photo of us? Well, here's a development. What's happened at
Sterling Point in Bluff at the end of state Higwai
I is that who's appeared for the last two days,
the Jehovah's Witness. So there's three JW's Jehovah's Witnesses with

(23:38):
all their pamphlets in a stand with their car parked
and the boot open, right next to the sign, and
they're offering to take people's photos and I presume spread
the word of the Lord. I don't know that's an
extremely inspired idea or slightly cynical because normally with the jws,

(23:59):
you see them mainly in Mosgowle and the need and
they are stand there or sit there and you've got
to kind of approach them and say, oh, well, when's
end of the world. But this way they've got the
perfect conversation Stata, oh lovely and they go lovely day
for it, isn't it, and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,
would you like me to take your phone? You certainly?

(24:19):
Then they say would you like to let the Lord
into your life?

Speaker 16 (24:22):
Where?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
So there you go. So it's yeah, people could walk
the length of the country and then get some sort
of conversion to the faith at Stirling Point. It's just
probably very good idea, not doing any harm. Are they
always well dressed with those pamphlets and all look like
they're printed about three hundred about thirty years ago we

(24:45):
have redated font anyway. Anyway, I said to them, with
any sign a hunter, but no sign a hunter walking
their tiarrara trail. So there you go. So someone's thinking
outside the square. What I liked with the Jehovah's witnesses
is during COVID, didn't go knocking at doors because you

(25:09):
couldn't because you bubble. So what they did is they
started writing letters to people. And in fact I received
some mail from them, beautifully handwritten note from the Jehovah.
When I thought we'll get on them, was an email
or a chain There was a beautiful handwritten letter. Didn't
read it. Marcus. My prediction for twenty twenty five is

(25:31):
the devil will reveal himself through someone's headphones. It could
be you, Marcus. Marcus watching trains in Norway Now they
train up mountains. What's wrong with us? Well, we did
have trains that went up mountains. We had the fell
engines from Featherston. Anyway, I need your calls tonight because

(25:54):
I'm in the talking mood. Do we think it's a
good idea, Dan for them to be packed at the
end of the road, Yeah, okay, dansit. I mean it
shows they've got a certain spirit of entrepreneurs realism. Isn't
it that they've got the confident? It's a perfect place
for them. What if they pack there tomorrow? I won't
go and convert. What are they They ride bikes of

(26:15):
worship on a Saturday? What do they do they pray
on a Saturday. I think that's the way it works,
so it might be the other ones anyway, No, I
think that's a yeah. I forget what they do. Marcus.
A great Chinese Smallas borders my local Chinatown at Fraser Cove,
Todonger ride variety of choices of Chinese dishs, others desserts
as well. Eat it or take away brilliant. I'll get

(26:39):
in touch by them. As Marcus Graham welcome.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Because you were talking about this sidepost down in the
South Island. They had their bottom of the South Island
and you're saying people are taking photos. Well, there's a
little idea they did in Nelson. They made this table
down to earn a beach and they use this big
stone and it pops out the top and it's carved
and it's like a dragon coming out in the seats

(27:02):
either side. And what they've done they've put a post
in the ground so people can sit downd and look
at this post and they put slots in it so
you can stick your cell phone in there and get
a selfie taken sort of thing. So the whole family
is sitting around the table sort of thing with the
dragon coming out there you go. So I call it

(27:25):
a selfie post. It's just like a concrete post in
the ground and they've got these slits in them where
you can sit your phone in and then put your
phone on time and to take the photo and bang
that's it. You'll sitting there on the table and you're
taking the product. The protoct has been taken now I've.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Heard of Tahuna right. This is the campground right.

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Where it's a beach, Tahuna Nui Beach and the campground
is Tahuna Nu Tahuna Camp which is down there. It's
the biggest camp in the South Island.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
And the dragon. What's the significance of the dragon?

Speaker 6 (27:57):
Well, it's what an artist designed and made to go
down the beach just down there. And yeah, I was
just thinking if you had your your signposts it and
you put a I call it a selfie post to
stick your phone on it and walk away from it,
and you could have your phone to take it.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Because most people can do that ten second delay and
then you can jump at ten seconds if you know
a selfie like that yourself draham.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
Uh, I use the phone to talk to people.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Brilliant old school. Yeah, I quite like that time laps.
You know, you waste a lot of time with time.
That's when you try and jump for your Instagram back
you go jump on ten seconds. We don't see so
often our as selfie sticks. They're all the rage about
ten years ago, wouldn't they put at all their phones
on selfie sticks? Now not so much. I can't see

(28:49):
shots of the dragon. Just can't quite get why it's
a dragon Tahuna, which is a Nelson. It's not on
street view. I don't think he's made it up, but
I don't know if they would have. Well, I guess
we did have dragons in this cape. JT. Marcus, Welcome, Good.

Speaker 16 (29:12):
Evening, Marcus. I think after you've walked thirty kilometers, the
last thing you want to do is trying to get
your cell phone. Bloody, wait ten seconds and then take it.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Well, I think a lot of these people have worked
walked the length of the country.

Speaker 16 (29:29):
Yeah, that guy that did it in eighty three nights
was pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think I didn't see him today.

Speaker 16 (29:38):
Yeah, you can see they probably fell asleep on the
side of the road somewhere or down earlier.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, I don't think it would have got done earlier. Well,
what was it was nine o'clock? It must have been
must have been.

Speaker 17 (29:52):
Six.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
He could have done five k's now sixty k. You
could have done it done sixty k.

Speaker 16 (29:58):
Yeah, I worked it out at four kilometers an hour.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
You did say he had his pet. That's why we
should say that a little bit.

Speaker 16 (30:03):
But yeah, okay, that that beach is about five kilometers
or something, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yes, Yes, I think it's the second longest, well, the
second longest drivable. I don't know the off of those
things are weirdly claimed about the longest drivable beach and
things like that.

Speaker 14 (30:17):
Yeah, okay, well.

Speaker 16 (30:18):
It's only about it's about the only drivable beach in
the South Island.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yes, but not for long. I think I think there
was things that council they're trying to stop people, which
is hot a hot, hotly contested issue about people's right
to drive on a beach.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (30:34):
I went tramping at the weekend to the Crow Hut
from Klondike Corner, Yes, and the upper part of the
Crow River. I was walking at seven hundred meters an.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Hour, really tiger country, that's how rough it was.

Speaker 16 (30:51):
And I was so unfick.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Well it wasn't an old but there was a there
was a track.

Speaker 16 (30:59):
Yeah, there was track there, you.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Knowing seven to fifty meters an hour.

Speaker 16 (31:03):
Yeah, took me already hours to go to just under
two and a half k but it was quite It
was quite steep as well. Fish in the last bit.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
So you're not you're not bush fishing.

Speaker 16 (31:16):
No, no, but half the time I was sitting down
because I was I'm that passed and I'm that old.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
How old are you?

Speaker 16 (31:24):
Mid fifties?

Speaker 14 (31:25):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Joys your Thursdays. Oh you'll get a bag.

Speaker 16 (31:30):
But that that that check that rang up Jenny. Yeah,
she's previously used the name Cheyenne. And I remember that time
about eighteen months ago or probably a year or two ago.
It was in the summer when she had a fire
at ok I think it was Okaine's babe.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
That's right. And you said have you passed? How far
away the firings had just gone past?

Speaker 9 (31:51):
I mean, did you see that?

Speaker 10 (31:53):
Our dad?

Speaker 16 (31:53):
A killer meter? Yeah, about a killer meter. I think
she might be from Ashburton.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, I think you might. I just don't know what
that's about. When you ring up the radio and pretend
but it's about like fires or when it was snowing
she rung up and talked about that.

Speaker 9 (32:15):
Or but.

Speaker 16 (32:17):
Complain as a host, you don't want to complain about people.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Calling them no exactly, that's right. That's for bread and butter.

Speaker 16 (32:25):
But it was Simon, Oh, Simon needs to call back.
He's always good.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
It was it was an unfeasibly large diamond to make up?
Was it that the biggest diamond ever, A f side diamond.

Speaker 16 (32:39):
My god, that would be what's the real big diamond?

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, like what is it called? And then door diamond
or the Yeah.

Speaker 16 (32:49):
I forget what it was. But you know, you were
saying about the provinces, there is two one or two
good things about the provinces. One of the good things
is some provinces have that in front of them and
some don't. The Hawks the Hawk's Bay and the King Country.
And there's only two in the south on that have that,

(33:11):
the West Coast and the Bull.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah it is. I thought people in Hawks Bay didn't
like that put in front of Hawk's Bay. I thought
they were but antsy about that? Are they?

Speaker 16 (33:24):
Well, they don't get to the side. It's okay, fair enough, good,
there's a whole community.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
It took it down to JT. So we just we're
going to say the Hawks Bay because that's what it's called.

Speaker 10 (33:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (33:35):
Well, it's in the eye of the speaker, isn't it brilliant?

Speaker 2 (33:39):
What do you think about the Hawks Bay? Hawks Bay?
Do you have an opinion on that? Taylor. I'll tell
you what. I'm a big believer in of an evening
rolling a golf ball under your foot. You ever do that, Well,
that's an interesting feeling as it kind of breaks down
those knots. Even on that remarkable things. The feet complicated
with the muscles you want to get in there with
the golf ball run around, it goes dig in those spots.

(34:01):
That's a tip for you. I'm not one to give
health tips, but there you go. By the way, rest
this leg. There's this person, a woman I believe in
the UK. It's a very long article's reinvolved. She had
restless leg. For goodness sake, she put on one of
those pedometers on her leg. Right, she's doing twenty thousand

(34:27):
steps a night, which is about twenty k's. I never
thought of doing that. Twenty thousand steps. Twenty thousand steps. Yeah,

(34:57):
cheapness to minefield too. Restless leg sounds like a mind group,
doesn't it. Anyway? That's the health sector for tonight, restless
league in golf balls OH eight hundred and eighty TENNY
nine nine two de text one of his markets, welcome
hddled twelve. By the way, interesting article about people that

(35:21):
live at number thirteen. Have you lived a house that's
number thirteen? Did that work out badly? Apparently you've got
a house that that's hard to sell. But in the
UK you are no longer allowed to skip giving you
properties the number thirteen because it confuses people. I've never

(35:45):
lived at number three. I don't think I've lived at thirteen.

Speaker 10 (35:49):
No doubt.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
What if some rando tonight that's lived at number thirteen
had the time of their life normally means the topic,
that'll be someone that's experienced it. I guess most streets
got number thirteen. I'm lucky for always a headline, isn't it.
I'm lucky for some I think JT. The topic whisperers

(36:12):
is hit on something, So why do some places have
that in front of it? Someone says you often hear
people say the Muna to the Holofena and the Carpety Coast,
but no one says the Fanganui, or the Marlborough or
the Auckland. What are the rules of that?

Speaker 13 (36:32):
Nor?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
You can't say the Northland, but you can say the
north He can say the Bay of Plenty or Bay
of Plenty and say Hawk's Bay or the Hawks Bay.
What the answer is there? Them up for that as
a topic. The Provinces Hawks Bay. The bay itself is
called the Hawk Bay without the s you see, people
are funny about that whatever, as long as you know

(36:55):
what you mean, you're not getting confused with something else,
say the Hawks Bay or the Hawk Bay, And who
lives at number thirteen? Anyone? And how's that working out
for you? Sure, it's a great conversation started at the
post office. And any predictions you're welcome to come through with.

(37:20):
And when are people going to get sick of actually
taking photos of each other? I'm curious to hear about that.
Also tonight, Peter, it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome.

Speaker 15 (37:34):
Becus. I want to talk about the number thirteen. Great
bit of a well, it's actually a bit of a
warning to people out there where how I got caught out.
So I actually it's funny you should say that that
articles come out of the UK because I live back
in New Zealand.

Speaker 10 (37:49):
Now.

Speaker 15 (37:50):
I did live in the UK for a long time
and I actually bought a house in a new development,
some a modern terist house essentially, and on the plans
there was apartment blocks as well as terraced housing and
on the plans it was all plotnum and our place
was Plot seventy eight. So we bought Plot seventy eight,

(38:12):
and then the council allocaped the house numbers and we
ended up with house number thirteen.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Oh wow.

Speaker 15 (38:21):
And initially, like you've sort of probably sort of indicated
with a little bit I've heard. Driving driving back from
the supermarket, I thought, yeah, my initial reaction was, oh
my god, what's going to happen. I don't have a
problem with that, but what's going to happen when I
try and sell it? So no disaster? The stories my

(38:43):
daughter was conceived there, so I guess that was a good, good,
good thing. But yeah, I just thought I'd add to
that the warm people.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
You don't have to target specific cultures to sell it,
because I resumed thirteen is not universally unlucky.

Speaker 14 (38:57):
Is it.

Speaker 15 (38:58):
Well, I don't think it is, no and so, and
funnily enough, we just got so used to it. It
made me think driving in the car, I thought, I
actually have a problem, like when I sold it. But
what happened is I put on the market before I
came back to Zealand it didn't sell, and I just
said the agent, well, we'll give it three months and
then we'll just rent it out, and eventually it sold.

(39:20):
And I don't even know what culture they were that
bought it, to be honest, but yeah, it sold and
I was happy with surprise I got, and so beet.
But as I said, let it be a warning to
people listening that when you look at a new development
or whatever, you might buy a fiction or in a
new subdivision, and all its plot numbers were lot numbers,
it may not actually be the house number.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
So it's safe to there were no exciting stories by
living in terrace house number thirty. No one said I'm
not going to come and visit it, so unlucky. There
was nothing like that at all until you went to
sell it. Is that correct?

Speaker 15 (39:54):
That's correct?

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Disappointing a that is.

Speaker 15 (39:59):
But as I said, if people do have a problem
with number thirteen and they're buying something new off plans
and it's a lot number or a plot number, make
sure who they asked what house number is.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
It's going to be nice to hear from your pete
Joan Marcus.

Speaker 12 (40:10):
Hello, oh hello Marcus. One of my sons was born
on the thirteenth third hit the March, but he's never
said anything about that. I've worked at motels for a
long time and they don't have a number thirteen at
hotels normally and motels.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Isn't that weird that they'd bother? They'd be so sympathetic
that so because I wouldn't know what room I go into?

Speaker 12 (40:32):
No, But why did it ever start at number thirteen?
Dad's birthday was the thirteenth to May, so he had
a Friday the thirteenth. But nothing's going to happen on
that day really, But it's just how did it ever start?

Speaker 2 (40:46):
And I don't know because I think probably in some
kind in some cultures, it's probably lucky the thirteen is.
I don't know. I've never thought about it.

Speaker 12 (40:54):
Oh, I don't know either. Now you're like trains, don't you?
Because I've just watched only half an hour of the
program on Sky Lovely Training Trips. Now where were they
the equator?

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, who's hosting it? They go with the red pants.
I don't like him.

Speaker 12 (41:10):
No, it wasn't him. It wasn't him.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
What's his name?

Speaker 12 (41:13):
Oh? Yes, he's got a big fat stomach. Yeah, he's
won awards in England for his work on the programs
and TV and that it was a lovely scenery?

Speaker 2 (41:29):
What channel BBC? Did you say? It was the BBC
Joan as he disappeared of borders of tears. Well, fancy
ring about trains. Get me going, get me your hear esteam,
then cutting it off. It's terrifying conversation. You like your trains,

(41:50):
don't you. We're not really prefer a bus. What should
I was going to say, what should we change the
name of Trump is? Changing the Gulf of Mexico to
the Gulf of America. Happy with the Tasman Sea, happy
with the cocks? Straight?

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Didn't he?

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Actually, by the way, I didn't even know Mount McKinley
had changed its name. Oh yeah, Joe, I think we'd
finished with you, head I Joan, I.

Speaker 12 (42:19):
Know, I thought you had finished with me, so I
put the phone down. But anyway, it was a lovely program.
It was a lovely program. But I only saw half
of it.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Did you say it's on the BBC.

Speaker 12 (42:30):
No, it was on Sky Open, the People's Sky.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
I'll check that out, Joan. But I appreciate that, Thank you.
The People's Sky, sky Open. That's what we used to
call it, Prime, Am I right, Dan, Yes, prime is
now I'll tell you what people have adopted that. Well,
they can say it sky Open. Get in touch by
name is Marcus Hill twelve. People also say the Netherlands,

(42:58):
the Ukraine, the Solomon Islands, the United States. It's quite common,
mind you. As people get older, they put that in
front of words like they I don't say real groovy records,
they'll say the real groovy give me some more. Example,
they won't say we go to kmart, We're going to
the kmart. Or they'll say we're not going to watch

(43:19):
the Coronation Street. We're going to watch the Coronation Street.
I quite like it, but mainly with shops. I'm off
to the Farmers or the McDonald's. I think I'm right.
There might be wrong, Graham, it's Marcus good Evening.

Speaker 7 (43:40):
Today, number third. Yes, the calendar you think of it
in calendar form. This year there is only number thirteen
in June. If you go to a year or so ago,
if you get to the thirteenth of February, Marsh will

(44:01):
always be identical because here me only has twenty.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Eight days A good points. Have you got a black
Friday February? If you've got a Black Friday in February,
you got one on Marches where you've got a double banger.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
Yeah, plus in November the same year. If you get
a third in February, it'll be a March in a November.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
I like the way your mind works is three the
most Friday the thirteenth you can get in the year.

Speaker 7 (44:22):
It's only you can only get three because of the February,
the other months being odd numbers. March in February or
a twenty eight day twenty haad day plan for February
will always be the same, and this year twenty days
March will be identical.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
And this year we've only got one Friday the thirteenth,
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (44:41):
Yeah, I've just looked at it, A thirteenth of June.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (44:46):
It's interesting that when you get a February thirty and
you get three of them in a year.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Oh, that's fascinating. So three is the most.

Speaker 10 (44:53):
To our knowledge.

Speaker 7 (44:54):
I mean, somebody can prove it me wrong.

Speaker 17 (44:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I like the way your mind works. The most in
the year is three. Yes, there can be no more
than three Friday the thirtieth in a single calendar year, February, March,
in November.

Speaker 10 (45:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (45:11):
Well I have well many of us have probably experienced
to never take any notice of it.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
January, April and July a year starting on a Sunday
twenty forty.

Speaker 7 (45:23):
Yeah, okay, well that's that's something we both learned news.

Speaker 18 (45:29):
Okay, that's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
If I had a lot of a lot more calls
like you rather than Diamond Woman, that's brilliant. That'd be
very good for that one percent, because I quite like that.
I've watched started watching a little bit of that. Have
I Yes, I have watched that. Least Friday the thirteenths
in a year. There's always at least one any month

(46:02):
that starts on a Sunday contained of Friday the thirteenth.
Who would have thought? What about that? You get February
that you get marched as well? Like the Double Banger.
I've been in pressed with how many predictions they've been
about Gloria Vale this year too. It's something interesting that's

(46:23):
now the conscience are conscious. Any It's Marcus could evening and.

Speaker 8 (46:27):
Welcome hello Markus and here a first time caller. I'm
just about the number thirteen. Yeah, I'm one of thirteen children, right, yeah,
and I've got two of our children who were born
under thirteen and one under twenty sixth and we've also
lived from the home number thirteen, so to us. It

(46:50):
is a ducky number.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Were you were you at number thirteen?

Speaker 8 (46:54):
We used to have we have left on number thirteen.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Yes, when you're child, when you're an adult?

Speaker 14 (46:59):
No?

Speaker 8 (46:59):
Literally?

Speaker 4 (47:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Where were you in the order for thirteen children?

Speaker 8 (47:03):
Any number four?

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Place to be?

Speaker 8 (47:07):
Yeah? Pretty good?

Speaker 10 (47:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (47:12):
Shepherd girls and six boys?

Speaker 2 (47:14):
If you're in a family of thirteen. And where's the
best place to be?

Speaker 8 (47:18):
Oh about the middle? I would say.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Lovely to hear from me? Any thank you? Meen have
grown twice as much as women over the past century.
Pretty weird, that isn't it.

Speaker 18 (47:37):
Mean?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Have gained height and weight twice as fast as women
must have been will been even a while ago. Jerry Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 19 (47:51):
Marcus, happy here, Jerry, thank you Marcus. I studied numerology
many years ago, and the number thirteen was considered so
bad that in China, if you went to a hotel
or an apartment complex, they would block off the thirteenth
floor because it was considered so bad.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
So that actually make it, but not open it.

Speaker 19 (48:18):
That's right, exactly.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Wow, wow Tree, I didn't think.

Speaker 19 (48:27):
It was a comment.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yep.

Speaker 19 (48:30):
May I make a comment about the Jovah's witnesses, Please Okay,
I grew up in a religion that was partly Jovah's Witnesses.
And you know, I'm sixty five years old, and it
surprises me to realize that they don't really believe in
Jesus as being the Lord. They believe in Jesus being

(48:53):
an angel.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Oh wow.

Speaker 19 (48:57):
And you know, it's it's just just totally mind baffling
when I really think about it. But according to their beliefs,
they believed that Jesus was an angel, whereas the Orthodox
Christian view is that Jesus was truly a man in
uh sorry, god in man form.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yes, so what was did he come to? Okay, so
it was an angel, but he was born on earth?

Speaker 19 (49:29):
Yes, according to their beliefs. That's right.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
I don't know much about it, because, yeah, people don't
get beyond the door knocking with the JW's, do they really.

Speaker 19 (49:40):
Well, I can honestly tell you, when I was a
young man, the jaws came to our door. They knocked
on our door, and they would they would never let
me let me talk to them, but my father did.
And when I looked at my father, he was very
very confused. He didn't even know what they were talking
about it, and then I often wondered why why my

(50:03):
father ended up being an atheist. But the fact, what
do the matter is that God does exist. He is
truly God.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
And I thought your father was a I thought your
father was a Jehovah's witness.

Speaker 19 (50:15):
No, I'm saying that Jehovah witnesses team to our host,
Okay to prustly daze.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
But didn't you say you were brought up Jehovah's witness.

Speaker 19 (50:24):
Yes, yes, but my father wasn't. My mother was, but
myself wasn't.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
I understand you. I'm glad I clarified that, otherwise would
have been confused about that. For a while, I thought
that was your conversion moment, Calvin, Good evening.

Speaker 20 (50:40):
Are there?

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yes, Calvin?

Speaker 20 (50:42):
Oh, sorry I missed Good Evening, Marcus. Now I'm a
freethinking rationalist. In other words, there's no mumbo jumbo around me. Now.
I was born feet first?

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Were you? You're actually born feet first? Is that a
common thing?

Speaker 20 (50:56):
Now you're normally born headfirst? No?

Speaker 2 (50:58):
But I mean how many? What's the percentage?

Speaker 20 (51:01):
I do not know, But what I wrung up about
is a number thirteen thirteen. Now from what my eighty
three year old knowledge tells me I remember this from
a long time ago. Jesus of Nazareth when he had
because some people call them Jesus Christ, but I don't.
I just call him Jesus of Nazareth because that was
his name. And so Jesus of Nazareth when he had

(51:23):
his twelve disciples gathered gathered around him, the thirteenth one
is the one who betrayed him. And that's why I
have always understood that the thirteen was the unlucky number.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Makes sense? Yeah, go with that. Have you ever lived
at number? Have you lived at number thirteen? Galvin?

Speaker 20 (51:45):
No, but I'd love to win thirteen million dollars.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
He used to being, do you think you live your
life differently? Been feet first?

Speaker 20 (51:55):
Well, I'm actually standing on the feet right now.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
It seems like it was. It seems like a more
sensible way to be born, doesn't it really? Born standing up?

Speaker 10 (52:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 20 (52:05):
Wells was he born?

Speaker 13 (52:07):
Song?

Speaker 20 (52:08):
He sang Elvis in one of his songs. He said
he was born standing up and talking back?

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Didn't he have a twin that died in Uteroh? Is
that right with Elvis?

Speaker 20 (52:17):
Yeah? Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yeah, you almost must sense that loss with a dead twin.
I've often thought, yes.

Speaker 20 (52:24):
Ohl, Elvis, he was a great man, wasn't he.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Enjoyed the Hamilton bus station in my.

Speaker 20 (52:29):
Travels Kelvin, the Hamilton bus station quite.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
A busy little hub with that, there, isn't it? With
all the maps and that we're on the inter city
that came into Hamilton.

Speaker 20 (52:39):
They used to call up, they used to call out
the road services.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Yes, well there, I remember it was a road service.
Then we got another bus and that breakdown within about
a kilometer, stuck outside of bakery for an hour.

Speaker 20 (52:49):
Yeah. And the railway station, it's called Hamilton Station, but
in reality it's where well, it's close to where the
Franklin Railway station used to be, but underneath, underneath the
building of the warehouse as an underground Hamilton railway station.

(53:10):
And when when yeah, and when the building was built,
they have to be kept available there. The public can't
get down into it, but is available if ever they
the powers of me decide to make it a proper
underground railway station.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
And I presume that trains on the Oka las and
trains still goes through that station, obviously, is that right?

Speaker 20 (53:30):
Yeah? And normally normally ninety nine times out one hundred.
I go to the movies on a Tuesday afternoon. The
leedo l I d o And when I'm sitting in
the theater you can feel the trains going along underneath.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
What movies have you seen this year, Calvin? Anything good?

Speaker 20 (53:45):
I have seen quite a few good ones. But the
one I saw, yeah, what's there on Tuesday? Was called
anora a n o ra But it was for it
was all full of sex and bad language.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Goodness? Were you expecting that?

Speaker 20 (54:03):
Well, the chap told me. When I went in, I said,
bring it on. I said, I can handle as much
sex and bad language as anyone wants to throw in
front of me, no problem to me.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Were the many there?

Speaker 20 (54:16):
Ah, oh, usually usually on a Tuesday, and there's only
been half a dozen.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
So I'm thinking that make it more uncomfortable, just you
and someone else? Off and thought and nura.

Speaker 20 (54:26):
And yeah, I think that's what it was called. I never,
you know, when people are sitting there and in their seats.
I never ever go into the seat and sit right
next to someone. But there's nothing to stop you. There's
nothing to stop you.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
No, but you'd freak them out, wouldn't you.

Speaker 10 (54:41):
Well?

Speaker 20 (54:42):
I probably will. I wouldn't get freaked.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Out that you've even thought about that, that you'd actually
go and sit next to someone in an empty theater
and Nora's comedy comedy drama.

Speaker 20 (54:54):
Well sort of you. But anyway, when you're when you're
an ugly old white man, here we go, you can
get away. It's just about anything.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Okay, Wow, goodness.

Speaker 20 (55:06):
Yeah, it's good to hear you back again, and Calvin
love you to hear from you too.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
That means a great deal to me, So thank you
for that. Twenty five to ten, No screw on the football.
That's Auckland Adelaide, Auckland Adelaide. On the subject of diamonds.
Hit a diamond, it will shed under pieces. Hit a
piece of courts, it'll break in two. Hit a piece
of jade, It'll ring like a bell. Peanut fingers Predictions.

(55:36):
Tip Top ice cream will change its name to Streets.
Trump will swear in a live TV interview. Motown Mowing
will expand to a two vehicle operation. Liam Lawson will
get dump from Red Bull team in the Formula one
Summer Break, and Marcus will get an invite to the
ten the Flockhouse Reunion. We have already missed the Flockhouse Reunion.

(56:00):
Have I appreciate you optimism twenty four to ten monamers, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 1 (56:09):
And Nora.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
It's like a unlikely sort of a movie. We're surprised
they're still making movies with the people beck in the theater?
Are they these days? I'm even quite sure what you
always hear bad stories about the movies, But I mean
a lot of people talk about new movies they're seeing,
and there's all sorts of movies. Been talking about the
oscars I've never heard of. So I'll have to get

(56:39):
back out there and start seeking some more again, rather
than musicals. I've got to ask Kevin how the weather
was in Hamilton. Still extraordinary, the streak of good weather
and bluff clear cloudless skies of about twenty degrees and

(57:00):
not much wind, which is unusual. I think the wind's
pick to pick up tomorrow. But yes, a lot of
tourists too, plenty of people down at the point getting
their photo taken. Does feel kind of like tourism's picking
up again. I see the governments announced that tourism is
going to be one of their focuses. But I always

(57:22):
thought that tourism kind of a low wage kind of
a deal. Really, I don't think tourism's going to get
in to prosperity, that's my take on it. Plenty of tried,
but always seems to be challenging, puts pressure on resources,

(57:43):
and it's not such a great cash cow. I guess
you've gotta try everything, don't you. Anyway? Seventeen away from ten.
If you want to talk, oh eight hundred eighty thirty
and nine two nine to de text. Anything else you
want to talk about, feel free to get in oh
eight hundred eighty thirty and nine two nine two detext.
If there is something different you want to mention, be

(58:04):
good to hear from you. Now some of the other
stuff I need say about. We've got a lot of
predictions coming through. Keep those going for twenty twenty five.
Oh by the way, too, I see that the body
shop has closed and in the news they talk about
Lush the shop. Also, I've never bought anything from both either.

(58:25):
I've never bought anything for they both stink. They're too
full on for me. And I'll tell you what I think.
In a while people are going to look back and think,
what on earth will we doing with bath bombs? If
there's either anything useless or unnecessary to be it. What
is the point of those I don't think anyone ever

(58:46):
thought they were a good idea. It's a good word,
the bath bomb, but really, goodness, what's the point of that?
The thing they made me think we need that, we
don't really need. Anna Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 17 (59:04):
Hi Marcus. Did you say Anna?

Speaker 14 (59:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Hi Enna, that's your name mat Hi?

Speaker 14 (59:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (59:09):
Yeah, I was born on Friday the thirteenth, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Wow. Did people go on a lot about it? Your
whole life?

Speaker 17 (59:17):
No birthday? Not everyone knows your birthday, so not really
Sometimes I'll mention it. I don't know why. It's unlucky.
Maybe it is about the thirteenth discipul.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
But I thought, if you're born on the Friday the thirteenth,
if ever anyone said you've got an interesting fact about
your life, that would be the first thing he'd wheel out.

Speaker 17 (59:39):
Oh yeah, maybe maybe I have. I mean I've probably
mentioned it.

Speaker 10 (59:42):
I've mentioned it. Yeah.

Speaker 17 (59:44):
The people, but they don't sort of say, all that's scary.

Speaker 10 (59:47):
They go, I don't know.

Speaker 17 (59:50):
It's like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
And not only are you born on the Friday the thirteenth,
but every seven year, every single one and seven years.
You'd have your birthday on Friday the thirteenth as well,
wouldn't you? Not on a black Friday?

Speaker 17 (01:00:02):
Yeah, but I haven't noticed. Let me think when it
last was. It was last on Oh god, I can't
remember because my son's born on the seventeenth. Of course.

Speaker 21 (01:00:11):
Oh we're August.

Speaker 17 (01:00:13):
We're August, so best days of clothes to get this.
So I can't really remember how often it comes on
a Friday. But yeah, it must be every seven years.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Well, not know it's every seven years, but it would be.
I come, it's too late the night for me. It'd
be seventh of the years. What did I think? But yeah,
it's doing me ahead and about that, and I thank
you for calling off like that. Fifteen to ten. I
haven't gon a capacity for doing thoughts about thirteenth Friday
the thirteenth. Yes, would it be every seven years? Someone
will know? Someone could do the thinking for me? Is

(01:00:52):
it was surprising those people on the Piano cruise. The
staff that thought they could dress is ku Klak's klan
And now they said they dressed as snow cones. Wow,
you're kidding me. It was a costume party on a
cruise all white jumpsuits and cone shaped hats. You think

(01:01:16):
someone would have actually thought that's not such a good idea,
wouldn't you anyway? Marcus till twelve and your predictions for
twenty twenty five still no score Auckland adelaide. I'll keep
you updated with that. Been watching the Australian Tennis Open.

(01:01:42):
Absolutely love it. Some great battles. I predict Jokovic will
win for the eleventh time. What a legend he is.
Marcus lived at two houses with thirteen the street address,
plus our daughter was born in front of the thirteenth,
my favorite number. Marcus. I have a huge number of
friends in the police force offices have been told they

(01:02:08):
need to spend two hours if they're of their day
catching speeds. Does the police have reduced tolerance from fifty
eight ks to fifty three If you do fifty four
k's you receive a thirty back fine. My friend got
ticketed doing sixty four k's as sixty k zone. Same
applies for any other over four k or more. Marcus

(01:02:32):
prediction that the Nded Herald will stop printing their additions
walk on. I walk on Auckland's north shore and seen
a uber driver delivering one or two copies in the
various streets when I see him. Oh that's an interesting
bit of information. Thank you for that person. End the

(01:02:54):
train ending in sixty two. Just to correct Calvin, the
Auckland to Wellington train does not pass through the underground
station Hamilton. The train travels along the North Loland Main
Trunk Line, stopping at the Hamilton station Franklin. The underground
station is on the Hamilton to totlong A branch line

(01:03:17):
which goes under Anglesey Street and Victoria Street. Anyone has
seen the comet or another waste of time. No one's
seen it on my watch. Oh my god. I was

(01:03:37):
just in packing safe thinking about number thirteen. On of course,
the Marcus the February March thing does not work on
a leap year, as February has twenty nine days. I
have read the Friday the thirty thing started when the
Pope issued orders to close wear the Night Templar on

(01:03:58):
Friday the thirteenth or whatever year it was Ethel and
Christchurch as opposed to christ Church and Ethel. We're talking
about living at number thirteen. Also talking about it if
you go to a movie and there's only one person
in the theater. Would you go and sit next to
that person, I'd say no. And bath bombs. I'd like

(01:04:22):
one call about bath bombs. And I've never brought anything
from the store Lush or it's got slightly kind of antsy.
They use that as a name, Lush, but the body
shop has stopped. That was a shop that's been around
for a long long time with a great origin story

(01:04:44):
about the woman that was homeless, and you know, it
was a great story at the time. A lot of packaging,
a lot of plastic, kind of pledged to be environmental,
I suppose, but really it's source selling things that probably
we don't need. But you kind of looked like cheese
as you'd go in there. The'd sliced sapes like cheeses,
wouldn't they, he says, having previously said he been nice.

(01:05:06):
I hadn't been to the shovel brought anything from there.
We have popped in for a peak. Welcome all our
Marcus Hittl twelve romans along from midnight anything goes tonight
to still the early time of the year. Two people
on Hoghday modes so kind of trying to get a
show to match. But there's something you do feel judy
bound and desperate to talk about feel free to come through,

(01:05:27):
and we will embrace that as a discussion. Eight hundred
and eighty Matthew Marcus, good even again, welcome good Ay Marcus.

Speaker 14 (01:05:35):
Well, I've got a couple of things. My predictions. How
many predictions can I do tonight?

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Three?

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
Okay?

Speaker 14 (01:05:42):
So I think someone's going to have another crack at
Trump and maybe succeed.

Speaker 6 (01:05:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:05:48):
I think rates are going to go up. And I think, well,
what was the other one today?

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
What's ewin.

Speaker 14 (01:06:00):
Crust?

Speaker 10 (01:06:01):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:06:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Major help Yep, okay, yep, yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:06:04):
Yeah. And then and then TI to be invaded by China.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Quite difficult to invade, they say, from a from a
geographical point of view.

Speaker 14 (01:06:15):
Yeah, I think they could have a crack because everyone
else is having a go at the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Yeah, I just I was speaking of something about the
invading and how that works. But anyway, I guess we
shouldn't talk lightly about quite a serious thing. But I
think it is quite yeah anyway.

Speaker 14 (01:06:32):
So, and but what I was ringing up for was
the price of firewood. I've just paid eleven hundred bucks
for six meters really lived, yes, gum and Oregon.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
So that's that's I can. I can like a problem.
I can do a check on my firewood guy, because
I've got all my accounts with him. I think I
tend to pay about sixty bucks a meter.

Speaker 14 (01:07:07):
Yeah, but what do you burn? Wo?

Speaker 10 (01:07:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:07:11):
But wood? There's wood and then there's wood. Marcus, that's
the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
I have an old man pine and gum.

Speaker 14 (01:07:19):
Yeah, rubbish, rubbish?

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Are you some sort of connoisseur.

Speaker 16 (01:07:27):
Marcus?

Speaker 14 (01:07:27):
Come on, we're not all in bountiful bits of wood
from down south, are we?

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Okay, now I take you for it, But I've always
thought that old But the two of them, the gum's
got the heat, and the old man pine's good to burn.

Speaker 22 (01:07:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:07:43):
But then, but the old man pine doesn't split like
the Oregon, does it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Have you got to split it.

Speaker 14 (01:07:51):
Well, because then you can get kindling from the Oregon
to start the gun.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I've had no problem
splitting any of it. How much you say it was
two hundred meter.

Speaker 14 (01:08:03):
Eleven hundred bucks for six meters of it. But I've
got that alta that you live, you know, the not
a big firebox, so you get smaller cuts.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
You've got to be quite key for what you can
burn in christ Chitch too. I don't even think you
can have fires. You got some special space age one.

Speaker 14 (01:08:22):
Well, no, it's just an old Ethos one. But we're
nothing flash like. You can burn coal down where you are,
which is no.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Well look, I think probably in the last ten years
everyone burning cold. You don't smell the coal much at
all these days, which is probably a good thing they
stopped doing it.

Speaker 14 (01:08:42):
Well, you can in christ Church, but.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Vifel christ Church would band wood fires? Have I got
that wrong?

Speaker 10 (01:08:49):
No?

Speaker 14 (01:08:49):
No, you can have these ultra low emission burning fires.
So because if there's a power cut, you can't. I
the heap up?

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
Can you have you stacked it?

Speaker 14 (01:09:01):
No? No, I'm getting it tomorrow and it's going to
be twenty seven degrees here, got to put it away.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
You've got a wood shed?

Speaker 14 (01:09:09):
Yes, wow? Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
Have you asked? Have you asked the guy the moisture content?

Speaker 16 (01:09:17):
That would be good?

Speaker 14 (01:09:18):
I trust them I get them every year. Very good,
very good. But yeah, it's very pricey and that's the
cost of feeding the house.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
How much was it there's a.

Speaker 14 (01:09:28):
Power cut in winter?

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
How much was it last year?

Speaker 14 (01:09:32):
I think it was nine fifty.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
Okay, that's a big that's that's a significant percentage increase,
isn't it.

Speaker 16 (01:09:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:09:39):
Yeah, it is three nineteenths you know that's a that's
a sixth of an increase almost, well more than that.

Speaker 14 (01:09:46):
Diesel has gone up, hasn't it. Everything's gone up. So
but just I just thought i'd put it out there.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
That's and that's just aw and it's a backup for
the heat pump.

Speaker 14 (01:09:59):
Yeah, we've got three heat pumps. But just yeah, had
the fire.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
I'm alarmed. I'm alarmed. I can't find my contact for
far when I've lost his.

Speaker 14 (01:10:09):
Number or do you want mine?

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
No, I don't want to live in a first church.

Speaker 16 (01:10:19):
Oh, I have got a.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Lot of I've been a lot of Gorse logs too,
which are great, give up huge heat. They're fantastic. But
it's long, yeah, like probably eight inches across because twenty
years old gorse.

Speaker 14 (01:10:37):
Right, Oh, pretty heavy one heavy right anyway, But I
thought i'd just put that out there. You're asking for
things to talk about, so I thought i'd just bring
it out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:49):
Appreciate that, Matthew, Thank you. Keep your calls coming through. People.
No school on the football almost half time zero zero
forty three minutes, just two minutes left in the half
Adelaide versus Auckland. You know, I've been ripped off by
any tourist kind of ventures in the holiday? Is anyone
I thought, Wow, that's but over the top. I'd be
curious though about that is your holiday coming back from

(01:11:10):
the holiday, if there's one of those things that, well,
goodness me, we got extorted there. I think probably most
people are following their holidays or going away has gone
up in price, very significantly. It feels like everything has
even firewood also, so something like that you want to mention, Well,
there might be something you experienced that was kind of
top notch too, some new tourism venture you embarked on.

(01:11:35):
I don't know what that is, but I'd be curious
to hear from you. Want to text that through also
your predictions. Also feel discussed about living at number thirteen
and the number thirteen in general. People who love talking
about Friday the thirteenth, don't they in the number thirteen?
So thereway feel free other stuff if you want to
mention it, feel free to get in touch. All the

(01:11:58):
lines there are free. I'll be hadle twelve. Roman will
be along at midnight. I don't know how the summer
schedule goes, and I don't know what happened with the weather.
I think that whole Northland thing is kind of abated
a bit. Fortunately it seemed to be not too devastating.
But I have reports from people that gave up their

(01:12:19):
camping holiday because.

Speaker 9 (01:12:20):
Of the rain.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
So that's no good. No in and out of reception.
For some reason, my life says the same thing, what's
that about?

Speaker 23 (01:12:27):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
This guy keeps texting me about justin Don's book seems
slightly obsessed. Marcus Marvrickshire is the Trump will exit you
tell the truth? Will actually not give away a state
secret when he does it?

Speaker 23 (01:12:42):
Ah, why would a body need Why would a body
need a yogurt?

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
Body shop? Rub? That's the thing I don't really understand
about shops like the body shop. Is any of that
stuff necessary or do they we ate some sort of
a demand or perceived demand for something that no one
really needs. I'm selling what the body shop was for.

(01:13:18):
Heaps of mates that when they went overseas always ended
up working in the body shop in England because you
never had to turn up and do much. It seemed
to be one of those places that Kiwi's overseas specialized
in working at I don't know that's of interest, but yeah,
they've closed out around the world. I think New Zealand
the last one that's still going. It must have been
privately owned or a private franchise or something. Maybe we

(01:13:40):
love it. When it first arrived, it seemed very modern
and sophistic. I don't know what year that would be,
what it be the early eighties, late eighties, But I
think probably the key to the body shop was the
woman behind it was a huge self promoter. She was
the human headline. There was always people doing articles about her.

(01:14:03):
I'm not just I think what year it would have been,
maybe in the seventies in the UK that came down
to New Zealand later on you started in nineteen seventy
six in Brighton, Cruelty Free. There you go, There you go,

(01:14:26):
Janet's Marcus, Good Evening and welcome, good.

Speaker 24 (01:14:29):
Evening, Marcus. I just have an idea that I had
in my head. I wanted to run it past you
see what you think of it. You know, you know,
all these pires that are happening in various parts of
the world, and all fueled by the wind starts off

(01:14:52):
with a small spark somewhere, and then the wind is
what's blowing it far and wide and seems to be
the hindrance to stopping it. I was wondering if somebody
could invent some very large like what do you call

(01:15:14):
them that you have in your house, to great big fans,
that could be invented that you roll out before the
fire and blow it in the other direction. So the
fire is burning back on itself, do you know what

(01:15:36):
I mean? Instead of going forward, it blocks it and
the wind is then blown back by these big fans.
What do you think of that idea? Are there?

Speaker 5 (01:15:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
I'm thinking about what I mean. It seems plausible apart
from that, apart from the challenge of getting them into
the area to blow the fire back. I just wonder
if blowing more, far more air in it for the
other direction would infect the flame it and send it
in some other direction.

Speaker 22 (01:16:13):
But no, I think it.

Speaker 24 (01:16:16):
Would blow it back on what's already been.

Speaker 17 (01:16:20):
Got it.

Speaker 24 (01:16:21):
Yes, they got it in early enough they could, you know,
I stop it from progressing. And I had another idea
as well. In America they have these tornados, and a
tornado is caused by strong winds in two directions hitting

(01:16:42):
in the middle, you know what I mean, two very
strong winds and then it swells round in a circle.
And if they built because they have tornado areas where
they always get them, if they had these big sort

(01:17:03):
of wind blocks that they could put up. Were the
landers flat and there's no tree or hitches or anything
to stop the wind, they can put these blocks up
so that they swirl, it doesn't occur. Yes see what

(01:17:24):
I mean?

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
Yeah, I do. I can see from a physics point
of view, or from a physical point of view, you're
going to blow the smoke back, or you're going to
block the wind. We're gonna blow the wind back. I
mean that makes sense. I just don't know if you
can roll it out of that scale that would be
required to fight the fire.

Speaker 24 (01:17:39):
If they built mark recaper hetches, for instance, and they
take quite a while to grow that high. But if
they in the meantime had these walls that they could
put up, like a concrete block walls, and they would

(01:17:59):
provide a block to the wind, stop the wind from progressing.
Basically you see.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
Yeah, okay, you're talking about the number thirteen. I want
talk aout the number thirteen as well.

Speaker 24 (01:18:16):
Yes, I was born on the thirteenth, of course you were.

Speaker 21 (01:18:19):
But.

Speaker 24 (01:18:22):
A last year. Do you know anything about numerology?

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Yes, I know that it's a parlor nonsense, of course. Yes,
that's me dismissing everything straight away as a poor old
Marcus living in poor old Marcus, not a believer. I
don't like how you just count the number of letters
that it just it just seems to be so numerology

(01:18:46):
seems to be so inane.

Speaker 24 (01:18:52):
Well that's okay, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
I guess if you, but I wouldn't base my life
decisions on it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
No.

Speaker 24 (01:19:00):
But when you look back, like last year for me,
was the number thirteen years. This year it's the number
fourteen or four and one at five?

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
What was last year? What was last year of thirteen year?

Speaker 24 (01:19:15):
Well, you add up your birthday and your month and
then the year that you're okay, not the one you
were born on. And if you add all that up.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
That's twenty twenty, twenty twenty five, which is nine, Is
that right?

Speaker 13 (01:19:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:19:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
And then thirteen, which is thirteen. And then you add
your month.

Speaker 24 (01:19:41):
What month are you October?

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Oh sho, that's teens. It's twenty three, is that right?

Speaker 24 (01:19:48):
Should be thirteen?

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
Okay? Something doesn't work.

Speaker 24 (01:19:53):
One and three and ten and then twenty twenty four
it's up to thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
So twenty twenty five, twenty twenty four, right is eight
two and then thirteen and then thirteen is twelve, but
then you've got to add in October. So I think
that's twenty two. I think last year was twenty two thirteen.

Speaker 24 (01:20:27):
Hell down, three and four.

Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
Three and one's fourth or thirteenth?

Speaker 10 (01:20:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (01:20:33):
One one from their teen five?

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
What's one from the ten.

Speaker 24 (01:20:40):
Number one? Don't add the no, just to add up
to one to nine.

Speaker 2 (01:20:50):
What's twenty twenty four worth? Is it worth? Eight?

Speaker 4 (01:20:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
Two and two and four and you've got the one
and three for your thirteenth that's then you've got twelve,
and then you got the one for then you've got
the one for the month. So it's just tenth. Okay,
I understand thirteenth year.

Speaker 18 (01:21:14):
Yep.

Speaker 24 (01:21:15):
So now this year is fourteen?

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
Ok Is that good?

Speaker 20 (01:21:22):
Bed?

Speaker 24 (01:21:23):
Last year I would never wish it never happened. It
was so bad, really went wrong. Really yeah, I'm really
enthusiastic this year.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
Has it been so has it been? Has it been
so far?

Speaker 24 (01:21:39):
Really really good?

Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
Sober?

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
That's I need to know, Jen, thank you.

Speaker 10 (01:21:46):
Sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:21:46):
The blocks has beaten the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
She's the only thing on fire with the world's stupidest idea.
Everyone talk back. Now we find she believes numbers predict
the future. I am a L L E M A
O oh my god, friend, lady out the gate, Marcus.
I arrived in London the early nineteen eighties and body

(01:22:06):
Shop was huge and exciting. Now when you said in
many years later, body shops and stores like Mecca and
Sephora create plush products to youth market that aren't actually needed.
Their stores are cerainly filled with the young teens seeking
the next new product. I now find these less stores
less exciting. Actually over will Well, that's a good point.

(01:22:28):
I suppose it wasn't exciting when the first body shop
shops came down with those giant loafs of soap like cheeses.
Have I got that right? Is it the right store?
I've kind of seen and was for someone. That's kind
of the smell version of you know how all those
kids we headphones now it's walking everywhere. They've got too
many noises. They get freaked out. I'm the same with
smells for me the shop like that, I just I'd

(01:22:51):
collapse with all differently too much. There'll be a word
for that. What is it? But they get freaked out
by too many smells. That's me, thank you? Twenty nine
away from a liveing. I think the last text has
got me right into the body shop. I think I
might have to go soap bars. That's it? Ah, And
they wrapped them up like the butcher, didn't they like,

(01:23:11):
you're buying chops at the butcher. I think someone's texted.
I think they're going to write a kid's book. Jan
Jan and the Giant Fan. I mean, blessed Jan, really,
I mean this ar is the world is burning because
I mean you've got two wet years and everything grows

(01:23:32):
in the dry year and all burns because the climate's changed.
And poor Jan stuck there thinking how can I at
least she's thinking of a solution. Where would you store
the giant fans? How would you get them out there?
How big would they have to be? Jan Jan with

(01:23:54):
a giant fan who's worked at the body shop and
was overwhelming the smell? And what's the what are people
that don't like too much noise?

Speaker 18 (01:24:09):
Dann?

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
What do they call that we're the air muffs, okay,
and can you they're anxious or they're on the could
you have a is there a is there a too
much smell version of that? Okay? Okay? Yeah, well I
think I get sent through overload with their body shop.
I don't know how good. Yeah, And sometimes there's an

(01:24:31):
aisle in the supermarket. I can't work out what the
smell is. It's like the disinfectant cat's food and it's
got an overpower. I avoid it now. Yeah, I don't
know if I'm a super I think I might be
a super smeller. I've got one of my boys as
a super smeller. Yeah, but sometimes they're just too fall on.

(01:24:53):
But the body shop it was, and I tell you
what the other smell that really does my head in
there's that pajamas shop called Philip Alexander or something like that,
Peter Alexander it might be. And they burn vanilla candles,
terrible smell in the Danish to like cones, not like

(01:25:13):
any of those smells. I'm a super speller, but the
body is shop too full on for me. Do even
know what the smell was? But that's me. I Yeah,
I probably could get a dispensation for something. Ivan. It's Marcus.

Speaker 22 (01:25:34):
Good evening, Hi Marcus, welcome back. The number the number thirteen. Marcus.
I've got a little trick on want you to do.
But I need you to draw something. Can you do
you can the paper there in a pen?

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Can you keep people into table?

Speaker 21 (01:25:46):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:25:46):
I have got it now, okay, markets hang on, hang on,
it's the it's the it's the classic hits his notes. Yeah,
that's all right, I got it below. How big of
a paper I need?

Speaker 14 (01:25:59):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:25:59):
Not big.

Speaker 22 (01:25:59):
You're just going to draw a clock. You're just going
to draw a circle with the with the numbers one
to twelve on the clock, complete markers.

Speaker 2 (01:26:07):
Can people do this at home as well? Is this
the fun thing we can do?

Speaker 14 (01:26:10):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:26:10):
No, No.

Speaker 22 (01:26:11):
If anyone's listening at home and they've got a bit
of paper and a pen, please join in.

Speaker 13 (01:26:15):
Well, there are.

Speaker 2 (01:26:15):
People listening at home. I hope zero at the top,
six at the bottom three o'clock, nine o'clock, one, two, four, five, seven, eight,

(01:26:39):
ten clock is completed? Is they got twelve at the
top of zero twelve?

Speaker 22 (01:26:46):
Factus?

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
Yep, thank you, yep. I clarified that.

Speaker 22 (01:26:50):
Now that you've done that, Marcus, I want you to
circle the twelve and the one. Tell me when you've
done that, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
I've done that, okay.

Speaker 22 (01:26:59):
I want you to.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Sum individually altogether it's together.

Speaker 22 (01:27:04):
So you circle the twelve and the one. Put a
circle around both of them.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
A circle numbers in a circle on an oval, like
I said.

Speaker 22 (01:27:12):
Yep, yeah, like an oval like a rugby ball. So
you've got two okay, eleven and.

Speaker 25 (01:27:18):
Two circle those yep, yep, ten and three, yep, nine
and four.

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
Yep.

Speaker 22 (01:27:31):
You see where this is going, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
They all end up to thirteen.

Speaker 22 (01:27:35):
Very good, I'll let you finish it off. How's that?

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
But of course of course they would. It's but that's
not interesting, is it.

Speaker 22 (01:27:45):
I just thought we were talking about thirteen, so a
little trick someone told me. So I just sort to
cheer it with your run listeners.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Okay, thank you, Ivan, I feel disappointed. I was just
boy that he wasn't disappointed. But that'll be thirteen because
the clock only goes up to twelve anyway. But yeah,
I had think seen something sourroun on Facebook. I couldn't
quite work out what that was about, but thank you.
And what about Jen and the giant fan? Marcus? Walking

(01:28:12):
through Judy three of the time, and you get the
smells of the perfume, etcetera, way too much and strong, Marcus.
I think you're getting the body shop smell mixed up
with Lush. Marcus. My wife is going nuts because he
thinks you're confusing the body shop for Lush. Lush rapped
soap and paper. Really, I didn't the body shop wrapped
up in paper. I don't like bath bombs. Anyway, I'll

(01:28:41):
fit the agrophobia. I'm sure they chop up, chop up
soap like cheese at the body shop. Anyway, I might
be lush. Do they not slice individual things at the
body shop? Please? It where people are screaming at the radio.

(01:29:08):
I'm looking at the interior of the body shop now.
Oh no, I think I am thinking about Lush. Body
shop is not very exciting at all. I wonder lushes
keep going that soap like cheese. Oh I think, yeah, okay, yeah,
it's not my strong suit. Just the occasional to portually.

(01:29:31):
That'll be me right anyway, Get in touch, moname is Marcus.
Welcome Marcus on the top of food. What about the
smell of subway? The swell when you walk it is amazing,
but none of the food tastes like the smell. I agree, Marcus.
The body shop and Lush Shop. I can't stand the
smell of those stores. The smelly candles, shelves and stores.
I yuck over smelling Larretta walk through Judy Free all

(01:29:55):
the time. When you get the smells of all the
giant put all the perfumes, et cetera, way too much
and strong, you're also scared the giant blocks of tobo
orwn A're going to fall on you. Marcus, what about
nullifying a hurricane by detonating a nuclear bomb? Don't tell
Trump was he going to sort out the Ukrainian Christis

(01:30:19):
in the first twenty four hours? Mind you, as loyal
fans will love them for it. Anyway, Marcus, every time
I walked past the nail salon in the Mauls, I
hold my breath because of the strong chemical smell. Hype
Sneakers Shop and H and M smell hideous, two worst

(01:30:41):
smelling shops. I once been on a flight to an
international international flight, sitting behind someone doing their nails on
the flight their fingernails, and when I got to the destination,
I proceeded to faint only time in my life. But
in hindsight, I think probably it was a slightly provocative

(01:31:03):
thing to do your nails on a flight. I think
it was nail remover and then nail polish, And that's
something I've never told anyone. I could be on what
I lie to you hit my head twenty one away

(01:31:24):
from a liven. I've really upset people by confusing body shop.
Well not upset people, but by because confusing body shop
and Lush, which I clearly have. So I am very
happy to apologize about that. So shops with weird smells

(01:31:45):
is where the discussion goes. But there's one aisle on
the supermarket and I don't know what it smells of,
but it's weird and it must be some sort of
cleaning thing. But why wouldn't that smell be contained in
the Pecket can't stand the smell in number one shoes,

(01:32:13):
even just passing by outside. It makes me want to
Vomit smells toxic to my senses. Maria, Can we find
out what other natural disasters Jan has found fixes for?
We could run a series of books, Jan the Fan

(01:32:33):
and the Fire, Jan The Fan of the Hurricane, Jan
the Fan of the tsunami. Someone says, we have crossover
books Postman patterns back and White Cat puts out fires
with firemen, Jan and a big fan. Well, kind of
as I'm thinking of it, I'm saying, what's the chances
the giant fan's gonna malfunction and start a fire of
its own and those really strong winds or blow and

(01:32:56):
tople over and kill one of the firemen, one of
the prisoners. Think in Los Angeles most of the firefighters
are prisoners on about ten cents now of fighting fires.
So shops which the smell you find unpleasant, So probably
we'll find out that the body shop didn't smell at all,

(01:33:16):
did it? I think in the early days the body
shop was a slightly more exciting experience. A lot of
kind of posters to save things. You kind of felt
with the body shop, you're part of a movement, Is
that right? Like saving guerrillas and stuff. This is me
that's not even quite sure. I've been into the shop

(01:33:40):
with my sensory agrophobia, Jan, Jan and the giant fan.
It's got a good cadence to it. I'll fix it now,
said Jan, And the anyway getting touched. My name's Marcus

(01:34:01):
welcome Hutil twelve eight hundred and eighty ten eighty to
be a part of the movement. Tonight good sixty minutes
gone on the football No school Adelaide versus Auckland. I
don't even know what to call the Auckland team Orkland FC.
I suppose Trump's awake threatens China sanctions and puts diversity

(01:34:29):
staff on leave, orders immediate closure of all US federal
diversity officers. He's out of bed. YouTube star mister Beast
is trying to buy his joint the bid to buy
TikTok in the US and the international papers have picked

(01:34:53):
up all the stories of missens. The cat, the main coon,
which made three trips between the Zend Australia twenty four
hours after being missed by the baggage handlers, was booked
for one way travel, went three ways where it was fed.

(01:35:18):
Seems a bit slack, doesn't it. The Unisian pilot was
told of the extra passage during the flight and turned
on the heating and the cargo hold to keep Mitten's comfortable.
A stowed wheelchair had obscured a baggage handler's view of
Mitton's cage. That girl in the chair over there nessa

(01:35:46):
rose anyway, eight hundred and eighty lizards, Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 5 (01:35:50):
I'm just swappering this whole sort of whatever, I'm highly
allergic curious thing, and i'd get anti electric shock nor
gods no idea and the SIMP to review display. I
like mine. I can't bear that vanilla smell. I want
to throw up.

Speaker 2 (01:36:11):
Who would like that?

Speaker 5 (01:36:14):
Well, lots of people like it, because they keep giving
your candles a smell like that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
They can't really like it, can they They've got they've
got kind of they've got no esthetic sense to their smell.
It's a terrible smell of vanilla.

Speaker 5 (01:36:27):
I don't know, but anyway, I keep't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:29):
I won't let my I won't let my kids buy
vanilla ice cream. I think it's a waste of a flavor.

Speaker 5 (01:36:35):
Well, what I was trying to like some sort of
connection in terms of do you think you could be
terribly allergic? Which means you will be that way?

Speaker 2 (01:36:49):
Because I don't have any symptoms from the I just
don't like it.

Speaker 5 (01:36:55):
Oh yeah, but what's the difference.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
We don't paint me some sort of allergic guy. I'm
not that guy. Don't want to be allergic. I'm just
the guy that doesn't like. I don't like it's too
full on. It causes me.

Speaker 5 (01:37:07):
Cause I realized that that's also what happens when you
are allergic.

Speaker 2 (01:37:14):
I don't think I think you call me be calling
me allergic? I mean you collapse in a weeping heap,
don't you when you get different smells?

Speaker 10 (01:37:21):
Right now?

Speaker 5 (01:37:24):
Only if I take the wrong education, I canten thelematros.
But no, it's no hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
I should make fun of you. But you try to
try to tell me that I was like that and
I wouldn't end up in hospital.

Speaker 5 (01:37:38):
No, no, no, no, I'm not trying to tell you.

Speaker 14 (01:37:40):
I'm just.

Speaker 5 (01:37:43):
Of would it be possible by any chance? But if
you don't want to be, if you feel offended by
being allergic, then I'm certainly withdraw almost statements because it
sounds like that might have upset you.

Speaker 4 (01:37:57):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
There's not upset at all. Lovely to hear from you,
not allergic, Marcus. If the next hour also to rob
ends along after twelve, I think sometimes I we'll find
someone that worked at the body shop. I'd be curious
to though about that. I don't know how many body
shop stores were in his end would be ten kind

(01:38:21):
of Most major cities had them, but their closing is
my belief. Sixteen seventy permanent employees in an online business
must have been bought by a different group from the

(01:38:43):
people that actually had it. Discout a store wide discount
of forty percent would be applied to the remaining stock,
So go get your butter cheapest butter you get, and
gift cards could be redeemed to the extent they are

(01:39:04):
matched with actual money. Customers must be an additional twenty
dollars to redeem a twenty dollars gift card. That doesn't
seem fair. Gift cards what are wrought doesn't seem as
though a buy is going to be found, but it's

(01:39:25):
all on sale. They've got some good locations, some good
corner sites. That's the latest there, Marcus still midnight, oh
eight hundred and eighty. We're talking about smells and shops
with weird smells and who's a super smeller course jee.

(01:39:46):
Some of those shops are pretty kind of confronting. I
guess it's the word to say. Oh, Auckland have scored
in the football against the run of play. That's unbelievable.
They're up one zero seventy minutes gone. I'll look for
the replay of that. I missed that goal, so it's
kind of amazing. All I could see was the Auckland

(01:40:08):
girl was getting peppered, crossbar keeper all sorts of stuff.
But they get to run of play they have scored.

Speaker 20 (01:40:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
I guess we might all be amused by jan and
her attempts to develop machines to fight forest fires. But
there hasn't been much technology for that, is there. It's
kind of just water or dropping things from planes. So

(01:40:41):
you'll be curious enough if you got any more about
that anyway, Just putting that out there, how you're going people,
My name is Marcus Welcome hun Till twelve oh eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. The body Shop. I wouldn't
even have called it cosmetics. I thought it was more
clearly I know nothing about it, even though I thought

(01:41:01):
I was like an expert of it, adelaide of discord.
They say it was more make up, but I thought
it was more things you rubbed on your body, which
is not makeup, is it. It's more like in your legs.
They had no idea what it all was, but people
seem to endure. They seem to buy. They kept it

(01:41:21):
going for fifty years. It's quite a good goal for Madelaide.
They've come from halfway and hit to the striker. And
goalkeepers always blame someone, don't they. You can't just say, oh, well, jee,
I missed that. You've got to sort of start pointing
out one of your other players that weren't there. Anyway,
it's one all there now. Don't think it's offside of
normally they go back and have it again. It's quite

(01:41:44):
wet there. It seems that the field looks quite wet.
So we are discussing the Body's Shop and the number thirteen,
and you might have your predictions as well. Just three
predictions tonight, but put some effort into them. You don't
say someone gets assessinated there's gonna be an earthquake because
they have you know it's gonna be punchier. And also

(01:42:05):
the body Shop Voluntary administrators have been appointed to the
body Shop stores remaining open as stock is cleared, so
some of you will have coupons you need to spend those.
There is a store wide discount of forty percent. Should
have made it fifty percent. The loyalty scheme's no longer operating.

(01:42:32):
Isn't that I brought something at macpeck the other that's
boring when they spend the whole time signing up to
a loyalty scheme, running down your phone number in your email.
It's got a change, isn't it. Adelaide's just scored again.
They're up to one. They've scored in the ninety fifth
minute and they made it look very very easy, very easy.

(01:42:56):
So crowd are going nuts, all their shirts off. That
seems to be the thing. Young looking crowd looks like teenagers.
Coach looks very very happy. But goal, I'll commentate it
a bit better for you because it's just a replay.
Now where was it from off? And way back? From
way back, well in their own half. Just a wonderful

(01:43:17):
cross through to Adelaide who sends it to a guy
that just kicks it in. Unbelievable, extremely professional looking goal.
But need your calls twenty two pass eleven mon name
as Marcus, welcome if there's something different you are but
a discussion about firewood tonight and smallgas boards. You haven't
got any grizzles or complaints. I feel we've been in

(01:43:37):
a fairly good mind space tonight, Marcus. Just who you're
talking about? The body Shop. One of their best products
was the pink foot lotion. It was fabulous for sore feet.
I wonder what happens to all their ip, their intellectual
property if that gets sold on and someone else makes

(01:43:58):
those blood because you think there'll be a market for them.
Some of those products have a huge, a huge kind
of awareness of them. By the way, is it me?
Is it me?

Speaker 16 (01:44:07):
Is?

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
Auckland came back to all final goal from them, So
extraordinary game, Brett. It's Marcus.

Speaker 4 (01:44:13):
Welcome, good evening, Good evening, Marcus. I'm just ringing to
see if anybody has seen the comment or whatever it is.
Is it tonight or onwards? You can see it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:25):
I think it's tonight on WS. It gets worse as
time goes on, but I've heard no one tonight. Someone
saw it with binoculars from lower Hut. That's all I've got.

Speaker 4 (01:44:34):
Oh, okay, because I'm working all night outside.

Speaker 2 (01:44:39):
Are we're about?

Speaker 17 (01:44:40):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
Brett?

Speaker 4 (01:44:42):
I'm in the fun north and.

Speaker 2 (01:44:46):
You got to look you might have to hit out
of the coast. You've got to look southwest, I think,
and then look for Venus.

Speaker 4 (01:44:53):
Oh, okay, all right, I'll see how things are during
the night, if the sky clears or whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (01:44:58):
Yeah, I think it's supposed to be an hour after sunset,
so you might have left it a bit late. But
let us know if you see anything, would your Brett?

Speaker 4 (01:45:05):
Yeah, yeah, I'll ringing do.

Speaker 2 (01:45:07):
Yeah, as the rate thing.

Speaker 4 (01:45:12):
The rain, Yeah, you had stopped to hear, Britt.

Speaker 2 (01:45:15):
Thank you for that, dying as Marcus good evening.

Speaker 13 (01:45:18):
Yes, happy New Years here mark'd you?

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
Diane, I thank you for saying that.

Speaker 20 (01:45:23):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (01:45:24):
I'm just ringing about the news tonight on TV one
showing the shearers sharing the sheep and kicking them and
cutting them and throwing throwing the sheep. Yeah, you just
people never used to behave like that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:42):
How would you know, Well, you've brought up on a farm.
I suppose were you, yes.

Speaker 13 (01:45:47):
Yes, okay, we were, yes, So that shearer has never
behaved like that in the old days. The new days,
they don't look as if they should be even sharing
at all. It was just shocking, so I hope somebody
else seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
So it's been on thirty four different farms that this
is the undercover operation.

Speaker 13 (01:46:12):
Ah well, ask for It's just so disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:46:18):
Why were they doing it?

Speaker 13 (01:46:20):
Well, if they shouldn't be working.

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
But was it just don't want Was it just rough
handling of the animals, Well.

Speaker 22 (01:46:29):
It was.

Speaker 13 (01:46:30):
It was worse than that. There was just people never
behaved right that. I don't even know why they're sharing.
They just shouldn't be doing it. It was just terrible.
I was shocked, shocked. People in the you know, sharers
years ago never did that. So why are they sharing?

Speaker 2 (01:46:53):
Yeah, it's not something It's not something I know much about.
I do know a little bit about it. I know
I know people that are shares, but I don't know
much about.

Speaker 13 (01:47:04):
Unless they're breeding the sheep bigg and they can handle them,
that could be the problem, you know how they sort
of bigger sheep now.

Speaker 5 (01:47:12):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:47:13):
But you do wonder if that this cameras are you
wonder if that's always gone on? But I'm not. I mean,
I've often heard stories of sheer as they.

Speaker 13 (01:47:22):
Finish, standing on the next part of them as well.

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
And also says cutting in the hole. It says here
it's pretty grim, very grim, punching sheep in the face,
slamming them to the floor, cutting holes and lambs, ears
and bringing their tails off of the hot iron, burning.

Speaker 13 (01:47:51):
Their tails off of the hot iron. Are that that's
gone on? That's called tailing years ago? That has gone on,
you know, because then then it's safe. The sheep get
all daggy.

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
Is it called mule Is it called mulesing?

Speaker 13 (01:48:11):
I don't know. I wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:14):
It's a good time. We might talk more about That
was on.

Speaker 13 (01:48:16):
TV so disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
That was TVD tonight, Was it?

Speaker 17 (01:48:21):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:48:21):
It was.

Speaker 13 (01:48:23):
I even squealed, you know, I couldn't help myself.

Speaker 20 (01:48:26):
Got here.

Speaker 13 (01:48:26):
I've never seen anything like that before.

Speaker 2 (01:48:30):
How had they got the footage? Had they? Were they
people that pretended to be workers or.

Speaker 13 (01:48:35):
Well they Yeah, I wondered that as myself and I
wondered if they'd come off the doll and they'd given
them jobs, so the unemployed the jobs.

Speaker 17 (01:48:50):
You know.

Speaker 13 (01:48:51):
I just don't know, but it's just shocking. It needs
to be locked at the abit apartment. Need to get
in there and do something about it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:59):
Honestly, Well, I guess the real fear is that because
you see a marino and wool, I mean that high
end stuff that people are into, if people realize it's
there's cruelty factors. You know, they're going to move elsewhere
pretty I mean, it's hard enough to sell well anyway. Yes,
so if there's stories about cruelty attached to it, that's

(01:49:19):
going to make it even more of a struggle, isn't
it It is.

Speaker 13 (01:49:22):
Says oh, yes, Now I thought it was just disgusting.
I mean I've swept while in the shearing sheds when
I was a kid, you know, and nothing happened like that.

Speaker 2 (01:49:34):
Okay, nice to hear from you, Diane. Thank you. We're
not nice to hear from you the case, maybe Marcus,
if anyone's interested. There was a great view of the
Commet from a high hill market peak west of Wellington tonight.
At first there was no sign of it. Then it
materialized out of the twilight in the southwest, free low
in the sky at ten oh six. It was re
faint but amazing, with a tail traceable to about fifteen

(01:49:55):
degrees long. It's set just to the right of the
Cakoda Mountains around ten forty four. That's from Allen. Thank you, Ellen, Hello,
being ats Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:50:11):
Hey Marcus. How are you to keeping out of trouble?

Speaker 17 (01:50:15):
Are yes?

Speaker 10 (01:50:15):
I am? Oh you're boring?

Speaker 2 (01:50:20):
What did you want to say.

Speaker 10 (01:50:22):
I just heard you're talking about Niles and I went
over and stayed with my brother with my brother sorry
at Western Australia about five years ago, and we went
and done some work on a farm just for a
couple of days. And it's called miles and doing it
to the merino sheep. Now there's a reason they do
it because it's like here in New Zealand. When you
get the sheep, you get the DAGs and then summertime

(01:50:44):
you get the fly strike and that's where the maggots
eat the sheep alive. You know, so you're going to
try and stop it. So the mules and is all
the loose skin on the art end of a of
a marino sheep and you're basically cut it off. It
sounds painful, it sounds horrible, but it's actually good for
the sheep's benefit long term because that way that all

(01:51:06):
those folds of the skin and all that they don't
get megan and vested and then they die so cruel death.
So you better off to cut it while they're young.
What their lands. Cut it off, but the skin grows
back tight.

Speaker 2 (01:51:21):
But it's illegal if you're doing New Zealand, you get
a criminal conviction.

Speaker 10 (01:51:25):
Yeah, well, look, I'm not a farmer was doing, but
there is a reason. There is a reason why they
do it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:32):
Yeah, appreciate that, Ben, thank you, and it's Marcus alone.
Good evening.

Speaker 21 (01:51:38):
Well.

Speaker 26 (01:51:38):
I thought that I would just say that I saw
exactly the same thing as the other woman was, and
that I was a farmer's daughter. I did farming at college.
My late husband was to do with farming. And it
was cruel that they were just throwing the sheep around.

(01:52:00):
It's just I've seen sheep and they have to be
fairly quickened that they There's no cruelty goes into it.
They just have to be quick and move them along.
But this one was awful. It was just chucking the
sheep away in it every way. It was disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
Was it the sharing gang or was it done under
the were the odors of the farm? There was? It
hard to tell from the story.

Speaker 26 (01:52:26):
The thing that I saw was just I think it
was this morning, and I think it must have been
on my computer. I'm not sure because I must have
been on the television and it was just I've never
seen it. I've seen sheep shown millions of times and

(01:52:48):
being shows with my husband and seeing it done and
it's all rather rough because they can't they've got enough
time to stroke them, and that they were just chucking
them and they were really hurting them. I mean, I
think they must have been breaking limbs. Something that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (01:53:05):
I really was a poor was the re understanding of
how they managed to get the footage.

Speaker 25 (01:53:11):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 21 (01:53:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 26 (01:53:14):
I don't know why they would have let them take
the footage. I don't understand that at all. But maybe
somebody else might know a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:53:22):
More than I do.

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
I'll do some research to but I think it was
hidden cameras. I know that one of it was that
that guy with a farm west of east of Juan
Nica Lake Hayes, that discredited TV front person from America
that brought that land, because there was some story about
that earlier on this year, I think. But now there's
they've obviously got more footage that they're leaking out to

(01:53:46):
the media. So thank you for that. N JD.

Speaker 21 (01:53:50):
Marcus, Hello, Hello Marcus, welcome back. Love you to have
you on the air and intelligent Marcus Mike addictions are
as follows that Trump owing to his stupidity and essentially

(01:54:18):
to his arrogance, he will precipitate some global catastrophe. That's
number one. I still there, Yes, I am. Secondly, I
think that there might be some great medical breakthrough this

(01:54:43):
year which will be equivalent to the first heart TransCard.
I don't know what it will be, but some significant
medical breakthrough. And Thirdly, I think that AI will be

(01:55:06):
revealed to have been complicit in some propaganda activity which
will rock the world, so to speak. But the AI
will will have been complicity in the same I kind
of don't.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
I don't know how an AI scandal will present itself
because it's such new technology. Yeah, in some ways, I
think probably a lot of aire. No, I'm curious about
that myself.

Speaker 21 (01:55:37):
Yes, I think some investigative journalists will an earth something
that they're just pretty shocking or honasty. That's basically what
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:55:53):
Yeah, well, look, I wouldn't be suppressed they don't come
to I wouldn't be surprised JD. But nice to hear
from you. Thank you for that. Good evening, Eleanor is
Marcus welcome evening madness.

Speaker 21 (01:56:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:56:07):
Back in the nineteen seventies, I was working on a
farm and the boss was camping. He used then counting
the sheep out of the pen, writing up down on
a piece of paper, and he's seen this particular pen.
A lot of the sheep were bleeding around the mouth,

(01:56:30):
and anyway, he left them in the in the pen.
He went into the shed.

Speaker 22 (01:56:40):
And this guy was.

Speaker 18 (01:56:44):
Just grabbed another sheep and he was going to shear it.
The boss grabbed the pull cord and stopped the thing,
put the sheep back in the pen, grabbed him while
of the hair, telling him, and the boss said to
the boss, come with me outside. They went out the

(01:57:07):
back round to the pen, had a look at his sheep.
He counted sixteen sheep. There were two tooth hues. Smashed
me out. He wasn't happy at all. He kicked the
guy out of the shed, told him go, had a

(01:57:31):
big argument with him again. Nearly packed up and went home.
And I still had thousands of sheep who shear?

Speaker 7 (01:57:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:57:45):
What was your role in him.

Speaker 18 (01:57:48):
Taking sheep and delivering sheep to the pit padic into
the yard there and taking the other sheep away. I
was driving sheep all day?

Speaker 2 (01:58:02):
Is it a guy? Was it a guy with an
anger problem? Taking it out on the sheep.

Speaker 18 (01:58:06):
Yeah, he was besh in this as you Yeah, he
was besh in. There were two tooth yews and he
besh the the us in the mouth with you know,
they were kicking. He went into the into the pen

(01:58:28):
and just picked the sheep up. He showed him how
to do it. But then get out of this head.
He said he wasn't, wouldn't layer him in the shed,
in the ship on the shed.

Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
So that happens on that happens on farms, does.

Speaker 18 (01:58:44):
It well, it did that particular farm. Yes, And he
told him not to come back on the farm.

Speaker 2 (01:58:52):
Goodness Ellen, thank you for that.
