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

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

Speaker 3 (00:13):
You zeel in greetings, Welcome Marcus hes on midnight tonight,
well until midnight tomorrow morning. I guess you could call
it hey, how I I hope you're good. Welcome anyway,
we has come right for me. So I'm delighted, happy,
happy as a sand clam. So where's the expression I
made that up? I think that's something. Anyway, Welcome, How
are you will people breaking news when that happens the

(00:33):
next four hours? Also too, hey last night, which I loved,
by the way, so it's a great show. I enjoyed
that greatly. A lot of people texted and said, gosh,
we've got family in Florida, we've been in contact with them,
can give us up late the storm. If you have
people in Florida, if you've been in contact with Florida
in the past twenty four hours through the eight hours,
are surprised how many people have family connections there. Let

(00:54):
me know what's happening there, how the people you have
spoken to are and your communications with them. I'd be
curious to know a lot of key wes traveling around
over there. Are a lot of key we's retired. There a
lot of Americans here and they're families are over there.
If you've got a connection with that and an update,
I wouldn't mind knowing someone that's spoken to people in Florida.

(01:14):
If you've got some information about that, would love to
hear from you. That's the first thing I want to
tick off on my list of things I need to
do tonight. Florida. Surprisedly it's a big news story here
just because I think I don't know why, but certainly
there's a lot of connections with Florida. If you've got
one of those connections, let us know. Would like to
talk to you muchly. I'll give you some updates on

(01:35):
that throughout the course of the morning, although I think
it's nighttime there now. Milton real old fashioned name for
a hurricane. When you have anyone called Milton, like never anyway,
I watched a bit of CNN today on the hurricane

(01:55):
during breaks in the base ball so it's three o'clock
in the morning there. I thought it was slightly performative
to seend their host and Cooper to stand in a
wet field. It served no purpose all it really did
is put a huge amount of terror into the technical department.

(02:17):
His earpeace didn't seem to work and quite stressful. Stressful
to watch. That was kind of crazy anyway, So that's
why I want to start talking about though expecting a
storm surge, but the storm surge went the other way.
It blew the water all out of the bay. That
was a blessing, wasn't why they said the eye of
the hurricane was three miles across. Did you hear that?

(02:40):
So you might've got something else that you've heard from
the coverage today. I wouldn't mind hearing about that. Oh
eight one hundred and eighty tatty and nine to nine
two texts, but particularly if you've been in chut touch
with because I know last night a lot of people
were talking about that. But you three mile across for
the either, I don't know how how far across they
are normally, So there was very surprising nine two nine two.

(03:03):
By the way, if you do want to text here
till twelve eighteen ten past date, if you've got other
breaking news we are, let me know. Marcus. My dad's
first name was Milton, but it was only ever called Joe.
That's exactly right. You never called someone Milton because sounds
like a surname. What are first names that sound like surnames? Milton?

(03:27):
What are first names that sound like surnames? You'll have one,
Well that your surname, that it's a first name. I
can't think of any that's at school has had a
name like a surname. What was it ab, I'll go
through the alphabet. That's a better topic, I mean not
I don't want to demean the hurricane, but first names

(03:47):
that sound like surnames, Milton, Well, it's the old fashioned names. Ah,
text and some of those quickly if you can, that
could be a good cloud breaker. Oh e one hundred
and eighty chaty and nine nine to text, Come on first,

(04:08):
get in touch if you've got something to say. Mason
sounds like a surname. Lindsey sounds like a surname. Cooper

(04:31):
sounds like a surname. There you go. Not so many.
There are many girls' names that sound like surnames. Are there.
It's many boys' names that sound like I'm just trying
to think about this as I'm thinking a lot allowed here.
First names that sound like surnames and hurricanes hurricanes, Oh,

(04:51):
Jake good response from the texts. Gosh, we've heard how
many of the texts were saying first names that sound
like surnames. Bradley, therese are all different texts. Bradley, Parker, Gibson, Spencer, Stewart, Craig, Digby, Harrison,

(05:13):
Harrison's a terrible first name. Steadman. I wanted to call
my second born Steadfast, and I wish I had it
had slightly Well, I don't say I wish. I I
love his name. I had slightly glory of our overtones.
But it's a good name because you call them steady.

(05:34):
I think it was a steadfast Pack and Peter where
we were, Yeah, poor Marcus, Welcome, Hey Mike, I sare
you go on? Good? Paul ten out of ten as end,
Thank you, Nice to.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Talk to you again. Look, I know I was thinking
about this name when they named it.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
A couple of days ago.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
I was thinking about it normally. Most of them are
named after ladies, aren't they.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
They've got lady chepers. Do you know what here it is?

Speaker 6 (06:04):
Paul?

Speaker 7 (06:05):
Yea, but do you know what?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Do you know what year it is?

Speaker 8 (06:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I know, Paul. They were named after women because they
were considered unpredictable, that is sexist. At about nineteen seventy, Okay, they.

Speaker 9 (06:23):
Started, that's why you're on.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
I'll retract the statement.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
That's what about nineteen seventy they thought alternate them between
male and female. Nuts this she can laughing at Paul.
I'll try to find out when did they start. When
did they start naming hurricanes after men?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Hopefully it's not this year.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Well, it was a long long time nineteen seventy nine. Wow, Yeah,
and I think it was. I don't know if they
said it was because they're unpredictable like women. I think
that might have been the situation, which is pretty ghastly
and or destructive, or they take every thing. It was
probably before the after the matrimonial properly thing came in here.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
I think we'd better put the spade away and just
not talk about that anymore.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, well, no, it wasn't my spade, Paul, but thank you.
From nineteen fifty three to nineteen seventy nine, they're actually
named after women. Yeah, it's quite a complicated story. I
can't fully work out what it was. I don't know

(07:38):
if it was because they're unpredictable. I think that's what
it was temperamental. Once these storms took on female names
with them, and oh, so it wasn't it that so, No,
it was it. It wasn't so much. It was more
the reverse that they started naming them after women and
the weathermen, right, because they're all men, red to type
and would refer to cliches. A stell like most women

(08:01):
is unpredictable or flirting with the coast slide is what
they do, and no one was impressed. So they decided
to go with me and woman as they should have
dB Marcus welcome. I just held, don't stop talking them.

(08:21):
I'm gonna have a rogue button here. There were a
d be welcome, it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (08:26):
Good evening names Wilson as the first name and still.

Speaker 11 (08:31):
The last name.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh it sounds like a surname, doesn't it. Yes, that's right.

Speaker 10 (08:34):
Yes, yes, so he had Wilson Runaway is when I remember, well.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, we should have been Wilson.

Speaker 10 (08:42):
Yeah, I will run away run away.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (08:48):
Hurricans are all named by the American National Hurricane Center,
and as you said, ninety is alternated. There not only
hurricanes with them here, all the pyphoons and storms are
named by them as well. But what I ring up
a bit. Well, I was going to put a New
Zealand spin on the Florida hurricane. Great, because New Zealands

(09:18):
might not get a feel of how big Florida is.
So I did some normal research Florida.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
DB, because you sound so interesting. Can you get your
phone line any better? A you on speakerphone?

Speaker 10 (09:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, yeah, much be a thing. I'm glad, I asked Dbe.
I'm really glad. But thank you for doing that for us.
That's that's great, bedside man, and thank you.

Speaker 10 (09:39):
Yep, that's right. That's just the other way around. I
can heal easier. But anyway, Florida is approximately the size
of the South Island south of Kaikura. Oh goodness me,
So that gives us a key we feel for its size.
And this hurricane is attracted true to the room, would

(10:03):
severely sipt everything from Chrost to the Eden.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Pretty much pretty much across pretty much kind of what
I kind of thought it would be, like, I guess
in some ways.

Speaker 10 (10:15):
Yeah, well, if you're one of the North Islands to
be involted, a track through Talpo and would take it
everything between Hamilton and Paris the North, which is not
bad don't you Have you been.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
On Google maps and looked at all the care of mpacks.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
I have a little bit of research because I don't
want to be too dumb and there's going to be
some heartbreaking. It's from this fun because even though it's
calmed down of it, I kind.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Of I kind of got the sceense that was slightly
not not as exciting as they anticipated. But that's often
the case because we don't really know because it's dark.

Speaker 10 (10:56):
Yeah, and if they said I don't think it to
be a three, nobody would leave. Everybody yells it to
you say it's going to be a five for everybody else.
I'm not a meteorologist for exactly that reasonable.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah. Yeah, it's hiding to know we're in it.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
Yeah. So it was just a way of giving the
Yllanders a feel for how big four other risk because
a lot of people can understand the size of the
South Island.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Very good, very good analogy. They're interesting some of the
names of the cities in Florida as well, Melbourne of
course and Saint Petersburg. It almost feels like they'd run
out of place names that started borrowing place names from
other countries, like how they named the Wombles anyway, get
in touch. Welcome. My name is Marcus Hettle twelve oh

(11:45):
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty first names that are
surnames Farkwha, Magna, Campbell, Finlay, Doogal, Blair, at least fifty
other Scottish. Is it a Scottish thing? Maybe you go
Fergel mcfergill. Hey, welcome people, Welcome to the show. My
name is Marcus Hettle. Has been an enjoyable start with
that first guy chief is anyway, And if you've got

(12:10):
any connections with people in Florida, I just want one
my time about Florida general. Actually have I been there
briefly and enjoyed it greatly. It was pastoral. No, that's
not quite the word I felt. Where was I in Florida?
It was fantastic just the one night you feel like

(12:32):
a country club extraordinary. Anyway, welcome Branditt's Marcus. Good evening.

Speaker 12 (12:40):
I okay, Marcus, I can help you out with your
first names and surnames. Thing in relation to Scottish families.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Well.

Speaker 12 (12:52):
I was told the tradition was the first born male
or female male mostly gets the mother's maiden name as
their first name, So Murray gives you Murray McDougall gives
you dog and and someone.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
So if mister give me a Scottish surname, if mister
McMurray marries mister Marris missus McDougall, the first son is
called Dougall. Yeah, that's right, So it becomes Dougal McMurray.

Speaker 12 (13:32):
Yeah, that's right. And there's a there's a certain oyster
farmer up here in Auckland and his name is Callum Mcallum.
So you don't where that come from?

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Marry his sister.

Speaker 12 (13:44):
I suspect that well makes a clan, right and yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:47):
But okay, so if if there's a call, if there's
a Callum Mcallum, then his mother must have married his
father must have married someone with the same surname as
his mother. Right, great, it's very interesting then bred what
sort of oysters are they? Clevedond oysters?

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Any? Good?

Speaker 12 (14:09):
Yeah good? What's got a fluff words as where you're from?
But that good?

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Okay, he's putting that out there. Did the pub raffle today? Gee?
Haven't done the put on. I didn't really do the
pub raffle, but this it does the pub raffle. I
went along. It was good. It was a good vibe
at the pub tonight. Actually the meat raffle. There's there's
twenty numbers, or maybe there's forty numbers, and they're all
written on the top of like gin bottle tops, and

(14:32):
they're all in a sack and you pull out a number,
and then the person that's they're all there, and then
the purse that wins they put out the next number.
Got a photo with Curly. His mother listens to the show.
He's an oysterman. Gee a long time in the pub

(14:52):
between oyster seasons. You'd think, wouldn't you. I think I'd
do other stuff as well. Actually, straight Shooter get in
touch Marcus till twelve. So that's oh by the way too.
I spent some of today, I spent some of last
night watching Chimp Crazy. So that's about people in the

(15:14):
United States that keep primates as well, I say pets,
but they're basically animals to exploit. So it's mainly chimpanzees
or what I always thought were Cappuchin monkeys, but they
call them capuchin. But so, what's going to happen in Florida?

Speaker 13 (15:35):
Right?

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Because all those people have abandoned their houses and the
storms come through. There's probably chimpanzees running around now out
of their cages. It's a pretty sad show. I not
if you've seen it. It's kind of harrowing. It features
that person had their face ripped off by the chimpanzee.

(15:56):
It's got quiet. And she was on Oprah and Oprah said,
cause I lift the veil. I turned off. I wasnt
going to watch someone that couldn't bear that too squeamish.
That's interesting about all the people with the surname in
the first name. I suppose there's all sorts of cultures
that do that. Would there be Julian, It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 9 (16:19):
You know, Marcus. Just to follow up yesterday from my
Twysal trip.

You filled it up with water. Then it it was
complicated story. And then yet to get on the bus
with your dog in a chilli bag.

Speaker 9 (16:41):

Twyzel this morning to pick the trailer up, but my
bead luck continued because I blew a tire about ten
mile away from cust So what I'm asking, because you've
got such a worldwide audience, is anybody in Twyzel coming
up to christ Church that would be able to bring

whether it would.

could be exploited by scammers?

Speaker 9 (17:27):

Speaker 9 (21:10):
What would you like to know about the church, Marcus.
It's hard to heat and now, look I've got a
very good heat pump because it's such a solid building it. Look,
it was pretty cold in the winter.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
And I've got another question. Yeah, is it in that
book of news in concrete Buildings? I'm not sure it
probably is, so they framed it all up and then
just poured the concrete in it.

Speaker 9 (21:35):
Look, I'm not sure there is a There is a
little museum in Cast and it's got a lot of
local history because there used to be a very famous
motorbike racing cast years ago.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Didn't know that. Well, okay, and they're looking after you
and the cast there have You're not They're not thinking
he's a strange guy that built the church. They've been
friendly to you.

Speaker 9 (21:56):

but perfectly fine.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
Well, Julian, you sound okay to me. But good luck

I'm Kevin fevery anyway. Oh, there is the Custom District Museum.

(22:45):
Jenny Marcus Welcome, Hi, Jenny, oh.

Speaker 14 (22:48):
Curre Marcus cure, Jenny.

Speaker 13 (22:49):
I just wanted to share my story about my grandmother's name.
So I never really knew what he name was TLAs
twenty one, because my grandfather died and he probably would
have called him mom because they were Scottish and that's
what they did in that generation. My Mum's generation called
her mum and we all called her Nana. So the
only person who called it both Christian name really that

(23:10):
I knew was when Auntie Ana came up from Wellington
and she'd called her Maxi, so I assumed her name
was Maxine as a child, didn't think anything of it,
didn't ask anybody, and you know, I was never mentioned.
And then when I was twenty one, oh, I had
some friends up from Teacher's College staying at my Auntie's
next door two story house. We were there supposed to
look after the house, but really to keep nine Nana,

(23:32):
who was in their eighties, and i'd been packing Eightpricotts
as you do in Hook's Bay, and Mum and I
drove up the drive and there's an ambulance there and
the girls had seen Nana. She'd fallen over in the
garden until nat she'd broken a hip. So Mum said,
you've got the ambulance and I'll follow up in the car.
So we're getting into the ambulance with Nana and they

(23:52):
asked her what her name is and she says Maxfield
Black And you could have knocked me down with a
feather because I had no idea that was her name.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
And so so what was it? We don't know, Yeah,
what was her name?

Speaker 13 (24:04):
Because I thought I thought her name was Maxine because
my aunt called her Maxie and her name was Maxfield.
That was her Christian name.

Speaker 10 (24:12):
Wow, So she was born Maxfield?

Speaker 13 (24:16):
LOGI And we think not confirmed that the that the midwife.
Her Christian name was Maxfield, and they named after the midwife.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
So that does sound like a woman's doesn't sound like
a woman's Christian name, does it?

Speaker 13 (24:32):
No, But following your previous caller who said that firstborn
children had given the mother's you know, it's her name, then.

Speaker 15 (24:41):
She possibly was.

Speaker 13 (24:43):
That's possibly the midwife mother name Maxfield. So I've called
my daughter Lauren Maxfield, and she's determined to carry the
name on and she's going to call her daughter or
son whatever she has. If she has a child, she's
going to call that child Maxfield. We'll keep it in
the family.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
So is it mainly a woman's name, Maxfield?

Speaker 13 (25:04):
Do not know don't know any history of all.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
No, it's good though.

Speaker 16 (25:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (25:10):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
And she were asked because you had me lost on
the hip, because it's a hard fraction of facts.

Speaker 17 (25:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (25:16):
No, she she was more or less housebound after that.
But she lived into her nineties.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh god, and the.

Speaker 13 (25:22):
World came to her. So speaking of so she lived
around the corner from the Methis Church and were sure
that preen. Oh well, she was the keeper of the keys,
and they would come and click the keys from her
keeper and they bring her the news leader at the
Afstitute Service. And she's a lovely lady.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
That's a nice story, Jenny, Thank you, the keeper of
the keys. What was that woman that that guy last night,
that woman last night, Dan that had been to a
what did that woman get told she was? She was
a financial one, she was a financial triangle? Is that
what she was told? Yeah, I'm just watching, seeing and

(25:57):
waiting for the shots of the marauding bands of chimps
going around. If you watch Chimp Crazy, it's pretty freaky
that one. Anyway, Thank you, Jenny. Twenty three away from nine.
So I feel we're building a community. We've got helped
out what's the name with his trailer. No one's texted
and said what's his number? Someone says which pub markets?

(26:19):
Do I talk about a pub? My friend is in
Fort Myers direct hit today. She brought a house which
was in an established trailer park. She sold her house
in Boston to escape the cold winters. But she's had
hurricane in which wiped out our guarded. The last one

(26:40):
flattened her car, put onto her car. Now her whole
suburb is flooding with water up to the windows now
and still have a king king tide tonight to come. Oh,
she'll be missing the cold in Boston. My grandmother had
a friend called Woolburger. First name is. She was born
near Saint Wohlburg's Church in Preston, UK. I thought it'd

(27:01):
be in a day with Peer wanting Julian's number for
the church. When Julian cid he wanted his trek to
taken from twice all to christ Church, what did you
think he was going to say? The amount was because
us thinking what would be the amount to take a
trailer and I couldn't imagine what that amount would be.

(27:24):
But when he said the amount was one hundred dollars,
I thought, well that seemed about right, because actually not
doing much. If you're going that way, that's a hundi
for you, isn't it. You see what I thought it
would have been a South Island. What he would have
seen would be, I'll give you a couple of boxes
of beer. That's what I thought. He would have said,
how much of a couple of boxes of beer? Eighty bucks?

(27:45):
But the hundi's probably as good as well. I couldn't
get up there and back. I don't think tomorrow not
they want a couple of boxes of beer a hundi.
But I could leave after work. I could be spend
the night and twice, or take it till I couldn't
get back in time. Could broadcast from christ Church. Yeah,

(28:06):
there we go. Uh, I've got commitments. I think all
these commitments. What do you say about custom? This to
be a motorbike race? There? I always get cust and
cass mixed up. That's my trouble. It's a funny name
for a town. Cast I suppose it's based on a
Scottish town or something. Good evening, Joe, AT's Marcus welcome?

to recruit anyone, but he certainly did.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
Do you know the pary Head, He had the gift
to the GiB, but the pairy Head when he was
in prison of it teen fifteen years ago, he did
about five years And isn't that five years in prison
somewhere or another, he still managed to r to run

(32:17):
his colt from prison. Yeah, it was unbelievable because by
those days, i'd shift.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Today there was all sorts of secretsy ahead of other
people as well, and fear. I guess you can do
that sort of thing. That's a classic play, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
Yeah? Evil, And then they are called Gloriaval.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
Do you know why they called Gloria Val?

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Nope?

Speaker 7 (32:43):
His wife was Gloria Uh, but she died quite young
because they had twenty children. Goodness, twenty children, goodness. Ten
of them saw through him. Yeah, pulled out had nothing
to do with him. But he was actually an Assey

(33:09):
Originally he came over from Ozzy about the late nine
sixties and he come over with a guy called Pe
Tomorrow and they started up quite good city new life center.
But after about a year they had a massive fallout

(33:31):
and that's why when you don't way and started up
the gooprits, he had a.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Cust fantastic information. Joe enjoyed that call very much. Thank
you for that good text or email. In fact, Hi, hi, Mike.
I think it means Marcus, but hi listing In Australia,
Robson Green, British TV dude was named as below. He
was named in the Northeast tradition of naming his first

(33:58):
son after the family surnames. Robson was his paternal grandmother's
maiden name, while his middle name, Golightly is the surname
of his maternal grandmother, Sissy go Lightly, daughter of William
Golightly and minor and a well known trade union leader
in the nineteen twenties. To Mike Grere, thanks for that, Mike,
I quite like that. How you can bine your sort

(34:20):
of parents and maiden names to go into your names.
Robson was his paternal grandmother's maiden name. I love the
name go Lightly. After Breakfast at Tiffany's, is that what
is I'm going to be singing that song? I say,
what about Marcus? Unfortunately? Any chimps on the loos in
Florida are likely to be shot. Police can be very

(34:42):
trigger happy. I'll tell you what, watching watching Chimp crazy.
The company that comes across really badly is Hallmark Cards,
because bor did they exploit the chimps dressing them up
in clothes and having them at birthday parties and stuff
for cards wasn't good because you can't keep I don't
think you can keep lions anymore after that. Karen Karen

(35:08):
Baskull went to this parliament to stop that after the
lion king. But you can still keep primates, and there's
big money selling them. Breeding chimps and chimp mills and
capuchin monkeys. Fascinating summer. Someone says there should be a
trigger warning for Milton residents in the Kluther district. Very good.

(35:29):
We'll get you more information if I can, about anything
that's happening with Milton. This is the hurricane. It looks
to me. I'm looking at the TV. It looks to
me like it's light there. Dan is that file footage?
Because what times? It must be four am? It wouldn't
get sun up that early, would it. Marcus. The New

(35:50):
Zealand Motorcycle Grand Prix was held at cust A Gravel
road circuit in the fifties before the s Felt Circuit
at Huapuda. Many famous US in riders rode at cust
pretty scary at one hundred miles per hour on gravel.
They're at a reunion event of the eighties. Cheers. John
Gosh must have been exciting motorbike racing in the fifties

(36:12):
the way Hecki Island circuit that was legendary cemetery circuit
whang Nui. I think there was a circuit why he was.
I'm sure there's circuits right around the country. Pretty terrifying
always to watch. Marcus. My grandfather's name was Wilkinson. His
brothers were Maitland, Goldburn and Perth. His parents for Australia.

(36:36):
They were known by the nicknames Wilke, Malt and Goldie
and PJ. That's of interest to me, it's all of interest.
Keep it going. Oh eight hundred and eighty each, add
nine nine to text. By the way, quite likely go
Robson Green on the TV. He's good. Forget what shows

(36:59):
he does. Extreme fishing I think is one of them.
He's better than the other fishing guy that takes it
too seriously. He's writing, you've seen that guy on. Scott
is always writing in his diary, tiny little writing. Oh
by the way. Two breaking news the Sydney Roosters coach

(37:20):
Trent Robinson. You'll know him, you're always doing shot to
him in the NRL in the coach's box. Him and
his wife have been airlifted to hospital from the Hunter
Valley in New South Wales. Their barbecue exploded seven past nine,
nine oh seven. My name's Marcus, Head of the End,
head on midnight. Don't remember the comet next week. First
time for a long long time we've got a comet.

(37:41):
The first time since two thousand and seven and Easter. McNaught.
McNaught was the comet. Remember that I saw it at
all Etty Beach, just at sunset. Only time I've seen
a comet. I maybe might have seen Halli's, but that
was a dud. I think when Halles first came it

(38:04):
was before TV. There wasn't much else to look at. Leo, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 8 (38:10):
You good, thank you good, yep real good.

Speaker 11 (38:16):
When before the news you meant that that desh explosion
of barbitues.

Speaker 14 (38:22):
Yes, that.

Speaker 11 (38:25):
There is a recall of those barbecues on those guests
and from Bamington Australia over build them. Wow, and they
were recalling them one Yeah, it could have been one
who goes into it raised the question of maybe the

(38:46):
other day. Yeah, right then your modern barb ran. You
don't go through that much guest with them and the
nine kg one that I never get them full at
the top. I'm not the only hit them half full
because they take a long time so empty.

Speaker 10 (39:10):
Yeah, and I just wanted the.

Speaker 11 (39:14):
Life of guesses.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
That sounds like the sort of question some of our
audience would know. Can I just ask you a question? Firstly, low,
first and foremost, thank you for being so on top
of the news because it's like breaking news story in Australia.
And see are you in Australia.

Speaker 11 (39:32):
No, no, no, why would why.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Why would overfilling cause and explosion? Because it would it
would ignite before you turn it off. And I can't
quite work it out.

Speaker 11 (39:45):
No, not sure, but it was it's not news actually
news media three days ago.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yeah, but that's recent. That's okay, fair enough, But yeah,
I think Lee, I think what happens if you overfill
them the guess comes out the safety valve and ignites there.

Speaker 11 (40:09):
That's right. Yeah, I think that's I think that's what's
causing it. It's because I've been over felt. It's even
now and keeping out of the safety valve and probably igniting.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Could also could also guess someone if they kept in
a confined space. If it's leaking like that, tell me something.
You want to know how long guest lasts in a
guest bottle?

Speaker 11 (40:33):
Yeah, it's it's it's because I was always used to
filling the stop, but then I got lawns about half
selling it because I thought, well, I know petrol with petrols.

(40:55):
If it's more than three months old, that's interior.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yes, I'll see if I get I'll see if I
get some information about that. LEA. That's a good question.
So I wouldn't mind a discussion on guest bottle coming
into summer, coming into the barbie season, So let us
know about that.

Speaker 15 (41:11):
Also.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
People Marcus Roylebush and South and host of the New
Zoom Grand Prix in the nineteen fifties. Average speed undifty
kp hour make it the fastest circuit New Zealand Peter
Whitehead one in fifty seven. Marcus big Fan, my father
has always been called Cully. Our family's surname is Cullen

(41:32):
his best mate Carrot Crookshank from Thames. Name my dad
this nickname in Crook's Beach back in the seventies. I
own Cully's hot sources and Mayo thought a great name
to call my Bizo after my dad. Right now, a
horsehold name in New Zealand. Go you with your hot sauce.

Speaker 10 (41:52):
Due.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
We've got all the heavy headers coming through to know.
I'm liking this. So I want to know who named
their children by finding the apparent surnames or something like that.
I'm always up for a discussion like that. So with
your parents made and we're coming on the back of Milton,

(42:15):
because it sounds like a surner, not a first name,
but a lot of the surnames. It's first names that
sounds like surnames come from Scotland, where it was all
the rage to name your daughter. You'd know about this
living Stone because you've got a pretty quirky first name.
Do you mind me saying that?

Speaker 17 (42:31):
No, not at all, Marcus, I get it every day.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
So tell me the story living Stone.

Speaker 17 (42:38):
It's commonly known in Scotland as a surname. I don't
know if you're aware of the Victorian explorer who explored
Africa and found the source of the nail and named
Lake Victoria after Queen Victoria.

Speaker 8 (42:52):
Dr David Livingstone, are you taking the mickey?

Speaker 18 (42:57):
Not?

Speaker 17 (42:57):
Not at all, Marcus, not at all.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
I don't like that. What what's the word for that?
When you when you when you say something like, I
don't know if you don't have you ever heard of anyway?
Now I have heard of doctor Livingstone living Stone, so yes,
as I think what everyone on the planet. But I
appreciate that anyway, your pol likeness with getting us all
up to scratch.

Speaker 17 (43:21):
Yes, well not sorry Marcus, I haven't heard them. Yes,
So within my family, I'm a direct descendant of doctor
David Livingstone in my family. Yeah, he was born in
south Lanarkshire. My family kind of migrated a little bit

(43:45):
more to the west to the east, so we were
northeast of Lanarkshire, and our family adopted his surname as
a Christian name, basically of Prade in honor of the
works he did back in the late eighteen hundreds, which
he was working off. Yeah, so you.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Think about Dr living Stone, he hasn't been he has
what's it when you he hasn't been delisted. You know,
he hasn't been canceled. Is that like that kind of
when uh, when they when they when they thought out
he was a rampant racist or something. Is I think

(44:25):
he's still got a very good reputation.

Speaker 17 (44:27):
Isn't he he he he Also Marcus he had a
great reputation for when he came back to Britain to
cancel this slave trade.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Yes, that's where he was an abolitionist, wasn't he.

Speaker 17 (44:40):
Yeah. Yeah, so I'm actually a Rubles story in my name.
But the considering further, do you know what my surname is?

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Living Stone?

Speaker 17 (44:49):
Not my surname?

Speaker 11 (44:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Are you living? Are you living Stone? Living Stone?

Speaker 18 (44:54):
No?

Speaker 17 (44:55):
My surname is Russell.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Well historic Russell.

Speaker 17 (44:59):
And yeah, yeah, I've been to Russell in New zeal
many times. I've got a lovely connection with that time.
It's got historical connections Scotland as well.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
It's got historical connections for my family to Historic Russell. Yeah,
yea great.

Speaker 17 (45:18):
You know, when you know, when i'm you know, if
if I apply for something and I've got to fill
out a form, it will ask me, you know, it
says on it, what's your surname and what's your first name,
so that my surname is Russell.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
No sorry, you got there picked to front.

Speaker 17 (45:34):
They send me a letter and they'll say dear dear
mister Livingstone and no address in the letter.

Speaker 11 (45:40):
Hi Russell.

Speaker 17 (45:42):
I get that all the time Mark is.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Living is it Livingstone? Has anyone ever asked you if
you're named after Jonathan Livingstone seagull?

Speaker 17 (45:51):
I've had that as well as.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
What a great plan that we live on, because obviously
he's a bit older than Jonathan Livingston seagull. What a
great shall I sten album the other day? It wasn't
that good. I remember it more fondly than that. There
wasn't enough of it. The album was too short. I think,

(46:19):
actually it's quite good. I listened to the drive back
home from work one night. It does kick in quite
well wide its Marcus, welcome, good way, thank you.

Speaker 20 (46:31):
I was just not about the old guest bottles, and
they shouldn't they shouldn't just explode by that because of
the safety velves. So the safety velves must have failed
because they can't just explode.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
But they said that. From my quick reading, once that
guy mentioned it, right, it seemed as though because of
the overfilledness, then there was guests coming out of the
safety valve. Does that make sense?

Speaker 20 (47:00):
I so it was releasing the guests.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
It says affected cylinders may have been overfilled, which could
cause guests to be released from the safety valve and
the cylinder.

Speaker 20 (47:12):
Oh right, holy well, oh what a cluster.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Yeah. Well, if it's taken out one of the top
five rugby coaches rugby league coaches in Australia, I mean,
that's about as legendary as if buddings have taken him out.
You don't know. You don't come back from that, do you, No?

Speaker 10 (47:32):
But like, holy hell?

Speaker 20 (47:33):
So, so they must have like a flame nearby or
something to ignite.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
I don't know if this is the situation with this,
but there has been a recall because they have been exploding.
And these guys and these guys, these guys that know
their barbecues. I mean, guess bottles don't normally catch fire,
do you unless you put the even if you put
the guests that even Yeah, yeah you go.

Speaker 20 (47:58):
When I was younger, I we just stupidly enough we
checked one on the fire just to see what would happen.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
Oh that was sensible.

Speaker 20 (48:05):
Yeah, nothing happened, No.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Really, wow, Okay, but you'd be waiting a while before
you approached it, though, wouldn't you.

Speaker 20 (48:15):
Yeah, we put it on there all like show. We
shuld probably shouldn't have done this.

Speaker 13 (48:19):
Show.

Speaker 16 (48:20):
It was a little shotgun.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
That's funny. That's funny. Well you survive, You've survived this
long way. So yeah, okay, I'm just looking at the
diagram and I can't quite work out the valve. Yeah,
I can't work out with the safety valve how that works.
But that's not my strong suit as guess bottles.

Speaker 20 (48:47):
Yeah, it's all just just to do pressure once once
the bottle gets to a certain pressure, there's you know,
they've got.

Speaker 14 (48:53):
The valve, just underwear, the tappers understand that just you know,
just release it out the tech pretty much. But yeah,
but it only does that when it's Yeah, absolutely necessary.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Nice to talk, Wade, Thank you enjoyed that. Like gu
spir have to worry about gas bottles much longer. I
won't have any guests, will We gonna take them twenty
years to find some more. Marcus. My wife's grandfather is
named Joseph Daniel, and so she is named Jody, taking
the first syllable of each name. Wouldn't that be Jodah.

(49:27):
I was the only one on us in with my
name until my son and daughter came along. Great show again, Chris.
So it's all about when you've invented a name from
your mother's maiden name. I never thought that was a thing,
but in Scotland that's a big deal.

Speaker 16 (49:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Here, welcome people. Hurdle twelve. Don't ever check a gas
station gas bottle on the fire. I'd have to say
that stuff. My grandfather's family lived in cust during the
First World War. They sent three boys overseas and lost John,
my great uncle, who died of wounds at Gallipi, aged

(50:03):
twenty one. His name is on the cussed warm and
the other two boys did return. They had awful experiences
at Gallipoli and the som I grew up with my
with John's photo always in my grandparents' house. He was
such a handsome lad. Such a tragic loss. It's from
Meredith John. I don't know if that was John Lloyd,

(50:29):
John Craig, John Tate or John Powell the four Jays there. Wow.
I don't even know what the CUSP would have been
like during World when one of that would have been
mainly sheep farms, Sam, it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome
you know Marcus.

Speaker 21 (50:46):
How are you tonight, buddy good?

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Thank you Sam.

Speaker 21 (50:49):
It's a story mate. Hey, listen, I just picked up
on that guess bottle story and it just triggered a memory, mate.
And that's the best thing about listening to you and
the others out there, because it just triggers the memories,
you know what I mean. But the guess bottle, mate,
you know how old make before was saying he threw
it in the fire and he was sort of nothing
either happened. But the memory that I have was it
Jaws two or Jaws one, where you know that there

(51:13):
was that scuba tank and as the shark's mouth and
they shot him the hero of the story, Yeah, and
blew up and we're all good. You know, everything turns
to mins and life goes on, you know, get back
in the water.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
So it is that standard operating procedure. Now with Jake's
what does that work? Did they run that through myth bust? I?

Speaker 21 (51:31):
Honestly, I think you could probably go to a nice
wee segway here. The things that Hollywood have taught us
that have proven to be completely wrong, and this must be.

Speaker 10 (51:39):
In the top five.

Speaker 21 (51:39):
Surely give you some wood cardcases on top of that, too.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Would not work on the list. Could you not shoot
a shark tank?

Speaker 21 (51:49):
Oh listen, Marcus, like the wind if if I'm not,
I'm going to sound like an expert here, but please
assure you I'm not. I'm sure with the wind, and
I think he was lying on like a something, a raft.
So we had a good, good aim and he was
waiting the anticipation.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
There has been a Mythsbuster's Jaws special and there's nothing
to explode, so there's there would be no explosion. It's
just it's just oxygen, isn't it just the compressed deer?

Speaker 7 (52:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 21 (52:18):
Oh, well done. So have we proven something tonight? If
anyone's like me, we can safely say that that would
not kill Jaws.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
You know, I've always too chicken to see Jaws. I've
never seen it.

Speaker 11 (52:29):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 21 (52:30):
Well, you guys have some big sharks on So have
you heard of anyone down the air the biggest, the biggest, Yeah,
the big Yeah, that's where they breed, don't they.

Speaker 11 (52:41):
That?

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Yeah, is the Jaws that shark Central. And now of
course because they are now of course, because they associate
the boat with food because they've become they've become habitualized
or whatever. When they see the boat, they know they're
going to get fed. So it's pretty sketchy. The people
that go and do it absolutely love it. They're always saying,

(53:03):
you want to come, I've got no desire whatsoever to
go out.

Speaker 21 (53:07):
I know, stay on the landmark. I say, like, it's
busy enough, being troublesome enough.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
So you know, they give you they give you a
go pro. So you're in the cage with a go
pro and you can film the shark coming at you.

Speaker 21 (53:18):
Ah, why would you Where are you going to show
that on your twenty first or your fiftieth wedding?

Speaker 10 (53:24):
Ani grocery?

Speaker 21 (53:24):
Why would you want to?

Speaker 3 (53:25):
People love it, people that come from overseas.

Speaker 10 (53:28):
To do it.

Speaker 21 (53:29):
Oh yeah, okay, all right, well, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
It's been nice to talk to you. Us stick to
escape rooms, going to Yeah, I mean, because the thing
also got to spend the day bouncing around the fovo straight.
You know, you're out there for hours. Everyone gets to turn.
But look, it's not my jam. But the people that
do it absolutely love it. I've never heard anyone say
they would discipline you. Know, I don't want to be
the bluff terrorism Board, but I've never ever heard anyone

(53:55):
say they didn't enjoy it. People, it's just not for me.
But you're in a cage drop down from the boat
in the sharks circle, and I guess they bite the
cage too. But I think there's only about three places
in the world where you can do diving with sharks
things ones in South Africa, and one might be in

(54:17):
California or Mexico. But I think the news in and
one is the best with the most impressive sharks. So
it's full credit for them to coming up the idea
and carrying it off. As I say, people love it.
Marcus the guest bottle. It was probably a b l
e v E bailing liquid expanding vapor exposion. You can
google this. It's now like headline news in Australia because

(54:39):
that's the classic Australian story because it combines a rugby
league coach and a barbecue and an explosion. I think
they're fine. I think they had poured water right, they
got chopping, they got chop of act or hellyvact. I
guess you call that none. You're not chop of act.
They got chop of act. So we are talking about

(55:03):
cust think about this show. Every town eventually gets the
time in the sun, just kind of randomly, don't they.
But tonight we're talking cussed. I kind of always and
I think I always would have said that it was
south of christ Chich. I've never realized it was north
because I got sick of talking about rangi Or and

(55:25):
I caught the bus there last time I was in Krust,
which quite enjoyed that, but never thought to go to
I presume there was a railway line that went all
the way to Oxford.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (55:33):
It went further through, did it?

Speaker 11 (55:35):
So?

Speaker 3 (55:36):
I guess through a railway. Town's Oxford, Bennett's cuss spring Bank.
They look like names of railway stations flat Land. Why
wouldn't you put a railway through there? You can always
find where the railways go because there's always roads called
station road, and that's normally if you're looking for where
railways were, that's normally a clue. Well, that looks like

(55:57):
mcclay's lane has put bang on top of the railway
starting anyway bit of everything tonight, And I'm liking that,
but some and Bob's mopping it up all the topics.
That's what we want. And someone wanted to know how
long did the guess and a guess bottle last? Not
how long till it runs out, but does it become sour.

(56:17):
I don't know what happens with old guests. I don't
currently have a big guess bottle. We're not kind of
a guess bottle family.

Speaker 22 (56:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
Well, there's always barbecues at the school. We always use
the school barbecue. They always having to run off to
get the guests. Who's never quite sure if there guess
or not. That's probably the good thing about this time
of the year is always to check your guess bottle
is full. There's nothing worse than getting ready for barbecue
and the guest bottle runs out. There's two day ruiners.
It comes with the barbecue. The what first one is

(56:51):
when you go and have a barbecue and you realize
the guest bottles run out. But even worse than that,
as you're somewhere and you got to use the barbecue
and it hasn't been cleaned since the last summer. That's
a terrible thing. That's a barbecue ruiner and a day ruiner.
I pray that never happens to you. That's a terrible,
terrible thing to have happened. The unclean barbecue the worst

(57:15):
trick in the book, to not clean a barbecue, terrible,
one of the great crimes of all time. Marcus can,
I mate, my mate cad, I mate, my mate Macro
and I took partners sheep sharing comp and ward just
after christ Church fell over in twenty eleven. No train
tracks in site. J imagine the railway hadn't run for

(57:37):
about sixty years. But I appreciate what you're saying. Joe,
get in touch twenty seven to ten. There's some other
topic you want to kickstart tonight. I still want to
know how we're going to get that guy's trailer home.
That's right, that's what that person's pointed out that scene,
And I remember that this is thank you Sarah old
Beasley's film. There is a scene in the news Ina
movie Savage Honeymoon Honeymoon where they blow up a gas

(57:59):
bottle on a barbecue. The census didn't like the explosion.
Made an R eighteen movie. It was really good. It's
one of my favorite movies. Yes, and that kind of
seemed to me to be a forerunner for West Side.
Is that the name of the right show. Yes, So
I just emails about people also saying they're too scared
to see the movie Jaws. Well, you kind of put

(58:21):
off seeing a movie because the kid, you think it's
gonna be too scary, Then as an adult, why see
it because everyone's seen it and you've missed all the
discussions And I don't know what will bring me to
see Jaws, if anything. And how long will the guests
and a guest bottle? That's a fairly practical question, and
I feel we should talk about that because that guy
asked that in good faith. We've got one caller that

(58:44):
runs a racket buying and selling old guest bottles on trade.
We remember him was quite sketchy about it, but he
did that. I forget when we were talking about that.
I'm seeing there's no news in the story about Trent
Robinson to say that it was a Bunnings guest. Well,
that was one of those to do with the recall.

(59:07):
It says Trent check the knob the nabock knight, and
it went off. We were having a barbecue about an
now after we'd eaten a guess smell was there Trent
checked the knob the Nabok Knight and it went off.
They are both okay. Naturally, triple O was called, well
they have triple O. The Embasis came straight away to

(59:29):
make sure everything was correct. A helicopter was summoned. Oh
so it was a couple of days ago. Trent was
kept for two days in hospital. Wow, it's a big story. Hi, Kerry,
thanks for calling. It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 11 (59:44):
Hi.

Speaker 18 (59:45):
Just an interesting topic. Your own just reminded me. I
just went out to for myself a few news so
to stream bottle just so that I wasn't a bot constantly,
you know, I do seprial at once and I realized
that they've got to use by j I looked at no,

(01:00:06):
and I looked at the two old bottles that I had,
and they were not to be used down to two twelve.
I'm overusing them up tall two massacres and.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
I've never heard anyone die from that. But I probably
shouldn't say that. But yeah, I wonder how much appreciation
because you're not You're not like setting light to it,
are you.

Speaker 18 (01:00:30):
No? No, I was sure much to spect. You know,
you could have may have SI the place it was.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
Said splen Yes, good points or something, but.

Speaker 18 (01:00:40):
It's just not something you think about.

Speaker 11 (01:00:42):
I've stated different.

Speaker 18 (01:00:44):
Last week he had two Stream bottles in inscription. I
had a lookers were probably around about the same age
as by old.

Speaker 19 (01:00:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 18 (01:00:54):
People use it, you're not to keep using them.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Where do you refill those guest cylinders for soda Stream?

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
No, not the guests, the actual bottles. They go and
you I can understand, okay, but.

Speaker 18 (01:01:11):
You take the case so and those can go to
Harby Norman. I think you might have the fantasy Native
might with zampas their safety day.

Speaker 22 (01:01:24):
Would take the sticulation.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Nice to hear from you. Thank you, Sandra Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:01:29):
Hello, hello Marcus.

Speaker 15 (01:01:32):
I might have misconstrued your subject about I love it,
I love its name, I love us. Okay. My name,
which originates Galway in Ireland, is a modern take on
a modern name for first names, and it's d u

(01:01:56):
a n E which is Duane and a lot of
people are using that as the first names. And I
quite often when I say that Sandra in my name,
it's mister strud that that's part of my first name.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
Oh tell me about that again. How do they how
do they misconstrue it.

Speaker 15 (01:02:28):
That it's part of my first name because it's a
it's used as a first name and not much I see.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
So when you put Sandra Dwayne and I think it's
your first two names rather than have to copy that. Okay, yeah,
so yes, pronounced it pronounced Duane, yes.

Speaker 15 (01:02:52):
Yeah, yeah, not Dwyane.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Dwyane is d w a y yes okay.

Speaker 15 (01:03:01):
Yeah yeah yeah, so that's something I had to say.

Speaker 16 (01:03:06):
The name.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
So it's a Galway surname and they've turned into a
first name.

Speaker 10 (01:03:11):
I got that right.

Speaker 7 (01:03:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:03:13):
Yeah, my ancestors obviously on my father's side, I went
back to my maiden name on my father's side came
from Galway.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (01:03:25):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:03:28):
But there's many many Duanes globally and they sort of
all over the world, but this particular faction in New
Zealand came from Galway.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Have you been to Galway?

Speaker 18 (01:03:41):
No?

Speaker 15 (01:03:42):
I haven't, and I'd love to go.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Nice to talk to you. Something to think. I'd like
to go to Goolway. I'd like to go everywhere. Marcus
Beth is this week in much better than the America's Cup.
Happy Beth. This weekend, Dave Marcus I was given my
mother's mother's maiden name as a middle name. Two months ago,
I was blessed with identical twin grandsons. They both incorporate
both granddad's name and their names. Good stuff, Hello, Jerriot'scus, Welcome, Yes, good.

Speaker 8 (01:04:09):
Evening, Marcus Marcus. I lived in America many years ago,
and we had an underground shopping mall that I estimated
could have provided shelter for at least a few thousand people. So,
in relation to the Florida typhoons which have been going

(01:04:32):
on for decades, is it possible that they could build
an underground shopping mall that would allow all these people
you know who are stranded in their trailer homes to
somehow just go underground and and find security and safety
in Florida or Tampa or wherever they are.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Makes sense, doesn't it? I just wonder, I guess from
I think a lot of the land and Florida is
quite low lying, though, so I guess if you go underground,
you could be going below sea level, which might have challenges.

Speaker 8 (01:05:10):
Oh, I did not know that. I've never been to Florida,
so that's that explains it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
I guess, yeah, I think it's quite low lying, but look,
I'll check out the I'll check out the topography of
it and report back. Get Jerry, but thank you for that.
Whereabouts did you live in the States, Jerry.

Speaker 8 (01:05:27):
In Vancouver and Washington.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
Oh yeah, okay, okay, nice to hear from you, Jerry.
Thank you. Ten oh seven. We're talking about guest bottles. Also,
someone wants say how long the guest lasts before it
goes off in the guest bottle. I don't know anything
about that. Pharone's got the information about that. That would
be good to hear from you. Twenty seven tornadoes reported
across Florida. These are the tornadoes that are birthed from

(01:05:51):
the hurricane. They will be really destructive because they lift
stuff up with the bill the debris along from Cyclone Heleane,
which recently crossed the Panhandle. Get in touch by names
Marcus also talking about the writing of your name and
your date of birth, your next to can on your
body in a market pen. I mean it's a powerful
thing to say. It's pretty strong messaging. Because you're thinking

(01:06:14):
of staying and defending your property, you'd think I'm out
of there. No word on looting. That's always a good thing.
But I think there is kind of a you know,
you can't leave town. There's a curfew, is what the
word I'm looking for. So you can't just go wandering
and sightseeing. So yeah, how are you going? People? What's happening?

(01:06:37):
So we are to talk about all manner of stuff tonight.
If you want to talk about this, talk about cust
the town. We are talking about the tornado on Florida.
If you've got any family members there, if you've spoken
to them last night. A lot of people were contacting
me with a lot of details from the situation of Florida.
If you've spoken to family there today or have any

(01:06:58):
information about that, or any experience about Florida or hurricanes,
be good to hear from you. There are other topics
and you'll be aware of some of those tonight. Also, surnames,
when you get involved with your mother's maiden name to
make your surname. That's of interest to me. I wait

(01:07:21):
ten with eighty ten eight nineteen ninety two. Detect Yeah,
writing your name on your body? Wow, almost sounds like
a good start for a detective story. That someone writes

(01:07:45):
someone else's name on a body, and it could be
quite a good plot device to start a whole plot
about that. You'd be quite a might actually market that one.
Be a good cal Hiason novels still alive. He used
to write great crime novels based in Florida. Very good writer,
mind you, the bodies would always end up in alligators. Kevin,

(01:08:08):
it's Marcus. Good evening, Welcome, Hi Kevin.

radio where this family put got bearer chips. American family
a lot of bearer trips that they put into.

Speaker 4 (01:08:59):

expression I've heard, will all be bearer chipped.

Speaker 23 (01:09:36):
Soon the same We actually voluntee to volunteer to take
these bearer chips, and as far as I know, they

Speaker 3 (01:09:49):
Yeah, I'm brilliant. So it's like bearer chips.

Speaker 23 (01:09:55):
Bearer chip, yesation, Yeah, it's got your day to birds.

Speaker 3 (01:09:59):
Could someone put somebody hang on, hang on? Could someone
please help me out and tax me the spelling of
beer chips because I can't find anything online about it.

Speaker 23 (01:10:09):
I heard it seven eight years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
The memory was over.

Speaker 23 (01:10:13):
There was the actually over the news. A bearer chip, yes,
a bearer chip.

Speaker 15 (01:10:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:10:21):
Identification bearership modern like we even have your text text
number and everything, you know, your driver's license and all
that sort of stuff on it. Yeah, that's a good thing.
But you know that good good for identification. Well, you
wouldn't need a credit card or would you know? You

(01:10:45):
just put put your rust over a skinner and le's
your bank card, there's your ID everything, you know, your
gold card and everything.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):

Speaker 23 (01:11:04):
Yeah, yeah, something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
Presually spellers.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
If you pronounce it good stuff given think it ge
bear a chip? I d that might be what it is,
beer a chip. Freak me out that about the bears
at Roy Marcus.

Speaker 16 (01:11:24):
Marcus, look a few years ago in the wire wrapper
in the sand hills, the sand was wearing away at
a certain direction for a long long time, and it
they come across some rows of carved stones and an
extra it had a look at it, and he said
that they're from a Viking carved and used as ballast

(01:11:48):
and a Viking ship. Now, unfortunately they didn't remove them,
and what happened It got around and when they went
back about a week or two later, they're all gone.
Someone's probably using for a barbecue.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
Are you there?

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (01:12:09):
Yeh.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
Who was the expert?

Speaker 16 (01:12:12):
Sorry, well apparently I don't know who it was, but
they confess. I said, no, that's they measure it out.
They're all carved to go between the ribs, and that's
how they did it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Yeah, I would, I would take I take all those
stories with a grain of salt. I'm afraid Roy, do you?
I absolutely do. There's always people trying to make out
this pre contact that there's other groups that came here,
but none of it ever pans out.

Speaker 16 (01:12:39):
Well, I can give you, I can, I can give
you some information on that. I can drop it off
to you. You know, your officer in town if you like,
what town, which is Wellington?

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
I'm not in Wellington.

Speaker 16 (01:12:54):
Haven't you got an offer an office in Wellington?

Speaker 10 (01:12:58):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:12:59):
Yeah, but you had one and just at every center.

Speaker 17 (01:13:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
I think there's some amazing stories in the world, but
I think the Vikings reaching New Zealand is not one
of those amazing stories. That's my thing. Roy and you
found and you found someone that's a so called expert
that's seen someone, and then the rocks have disappeared.

Speaker 16 (01:13:23):
Well they will be ideal for a barbecue and people
would just take them because they looked, you know, so good,
I'd say.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
So where was this.

Speaker 16 (01:13:33):
In the Wirappa?

Speaker 3 (01:13:35):
So they discover stones from a Viking ship and straight
up they discover that they get taken to be used
as barbecue stones.

Speaker 16 (01:13:43):
No, no, they found it is all it was left
of the ship. Basically, that's all wort have survived over
at a time, you know, many years. Yeah, I can
send you some information, no problem, I've got information now.
On forty seven other people that were.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Living here before the marry off you go, Roy, thank you.

Speaker 16 (01:14:10):
Oh that's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
One off button doesn't work very well. Need to get
that fixed. Oh, I couldn't say. I didn't email it,
you drop it off? Goodness to me? What websites are
these people?

Speaker 15 (01:14:31):
On?

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
Fifteen past ten, oh e one hundred and eighty, Jen, Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
Welcome, Hi Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:14:40):
Two things. It's just taken me about an hour to
get out the courage to light my name, so yes,
because we've had no power often since quarter past seven?

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
Is it the cab? Is it the cable or what
is that?

Speaker 10 (01:14:55):
Jen?

Speaker 24 (01:14:57):
I don't know what it is. I can't get through
to anybody to find out, and I've heard nothing on radio.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
I'll see what we can. Who's your provider?

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Jen?

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
Is it the one provider for the Holida? The island?

Speaker 24 (01:15:07):
Mostly Victor?

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Can you have a check? Dan? Can you Victor ostin Wayhick.
Dan's on it, Jen, So we'll see what we can
find out.

Speaker 24 (01:15:14):
Okay, Okay, Now, my name's Jen. My mother's name is Nola,
and I've never been able to get any of my
children or grandchildren or great grandchildren, to be called Janola.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
It was that good.

Speaker 24 (01:15:31):
They all.

Speaker 19 (01:15:33):
Toilet queen.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
So what your Jen? And who's Nola?

Speaker 10 (01:15:38):
My mom's Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Who's the name were? It's a first name name?

Speaker 24 (01:15:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:15:44):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Okay, just as far as your power outage goes, no
restoration time or no one calls at the stage, Jen. Wow,
it's bad, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:15:57):
I've had a cup of tea filled my hearty and
I'm in beds.

Speaker 3 (01:16:00):
So that's brilliant. Good on you, Jen, Nice to hear
from you. Eighteen past ten. I think it's called a
VERA chip. I couldn't work out when he was talking
about a bearer chip. It's a VERA chip radio frequency
identification microchip that can be ejected under the skin. Finally,
vera chip. My son and family living in Orlando. High

(01:16:26):
wind and heavy rain, however, power remains on secured ply
over house glazing. Be expensive to buy sheets of ply
to put over all your windows, and this ply there
is a lot cheaper than it's about three ound bucks
a sheet. Maybe they keep some in the you keep
some in your in your Basely just whipp it all

(01:16:46):
out and bang it on. But man, there's pretty amazing
storm surges because we're not far from sunlight from the
there's a bit of a what there's a bit of
a gloaming? Is that the right word is that the
light before the sun gloaming anyway, looks like that's happening,
although it's dark before the dawn, isn't it. I like

(01:17:07):
the gloamings. The other end of the day, Marcus reading
about the ship that sank It was in New Zealand
military sink? Am I correct? It was a New Zealand
military ship? Am I correct? Well, obviously it's part of
our navy. If so, I feel like the reaction to
its sinking was just frustrated key he was in their
anger out. Has New Zealand become less patriotic? What a

(01:17:28):
stupid text? What everything sometimes happens to we have to
get all outraged and try and magic up reasons it happened.
In fact, I haven't heard any of that stuff. But
I'm not on crazy websites. I haven't heard any of
the blame or misogyny or crazy reasoning or twisted logic.

(01:17:49):
There was one or two texts through the other day,
but I just ignored those because it just looked you
looked at if you get a text that someone says,
oh it was because of this. You just look at
some of the other texts they say, and most of
the time they're still going on about you, Cinda. Well,
that seems to me to be obvious. They've got problems
with women, and they're pretty much discounts them straight away. Ah, anyway,

(01:18:20):
keep it up, Marcus, Haha. I have to work with
great guys like right with Roy. They are the best. Yeah,
are well. They are the people that can find special
knowledge that no one else has got. Fridget Spinner, Good evening, Graham,
it's Marcus.

Speaker 10 (01:18:36):
Welcome, Hi, Mascus LPG.

Speaker 22 (01:18:40):
The cylinders. I'm pretty sure they've got two guesses in
the methane and I forgot the hang on there anyway.
You methane and buttane, and one severer than the other.
So the bottles sit there for a long time. They
do separate, but.

Speaker 5 (01:19:00):
It burns.

Speaker 22 (01:19:01):
It doesn't burn officially efficiently, so you've got to shake
your bottle and mixing up a bit and then then
she should be all right. But I'm pretty sure that
that's one of the reasons for why they go a
bit stale. Now, one of the other things you were
talking about is you couldn't understand why you have to
write your date of birth on your arm with your name. Well,

(01:19:24):
if somebody's got the same name, it's easier to figure out.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Okay, Yeah, and Graham, is it you just actually literally
just shake the drink that the guest bottle? Is that
what you do to mix the guests? Yes, that's right,
that makes sense. It's a very good explanation. So the
guest is siparate, shake them together, burns cleaner, burns free.
Thanks for that, Tony Marcus. Welcome, good evening.

Speaker 5 (01:19:52):
Even Marcus has made unknowing here where it's always a
great job at a great.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
Broth, great motown mowing. Okay, what go for you? Motown mowing?

Speaker 5 (01:20:03):
Just one of the touch on something I saw really tonight.
Now it's to do with Dave Telly. Now he's just
being stop funded from the government one hundred and seventy
one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year. They used
to fund him, but he used to say he said
that he needed a million dollars a year. So where

(01:20:25):
did he get the other seven one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars?

Speaker 3 (01:20:31):
Where does he or where did he?

Speaker 7 (01:20:33):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:20:34):
Exactly I mean, well, why did the funding stop on
the first place. I mean, you know, well, I think
i'd gather it's because maybe he's getting affiliated. That's what
I'm thinking. I think the government's trying to stop all that,
don't they hang on?

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
I don't think he's getting affiliated, is he. I think
his father had connections with the gangs, but I think
he's turned his back on all that, isn't it. I
don't know that he's still with that.

Speaker 5 (01:21:02):
He is, No, no, he will apparently, no, you're not.
But still he's still affiliated, isn't he's you know, he's
working with the gangs. That's I think.

Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
You see, I don't know. I don't know enough about him.
I wasn't aware of that. But look, I take your
point that it would be difficult for the government to
make sure that to make out they're tough on gangs,
to support someone that that had a more generous attitude
towards the gangs. Okay, I don't. I don't fully know

(01:21:35):
what involvement he has with gangs, so I'm a bit
kind of unsure about that.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
Yeah, well, it's kind of I mean, it's not a
nice situation for him, of it, you know, for what
he's trying to do. I guess, but I think it's hard.
It's it's what he's after, and you know, he can
carry on what the good words he's doing.

Speaker 3 (01:21:56):
And it seems to be something that people respond to
very well. So you're never quite sure. If he's gone
and made that public, there's no doubt some other plans
that are working, although he said he's mentally had it.
I mean, the guys seemed to go from the guy
seemed to do an extraordinary amount of media very quickly.
He was on radio who was doing documentaries.

Speaker 5 (01:22:18):
Yeah, he was saying, you know that he needed the
funding and what's trying to get to I think, you know, someone.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
On board, and for anyone that's involved in fundraising stuff
like that, it does burn you out. But you know,
he did seem to throw himself at one hundred things
at once.

Speaker 5 (01:22:34):
Yeah, I guess. Yeah, but Paul Bugger, Yeah over get
well and things work out for him.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
And it seems to be someone that has a huge
amount of good you know, people seem to love him.

Speaker 5 (01:22:47):
Yeah. Well, yeah, he's a likable guy. I guess for
the atitude and what he's trying to do.

Speaker 3 (01:22:54):
Like you just said, hang hang on just before you go. Yeah,
wasn't there some suggestion that he would go into politics
during the last thing that he showed some alignment with
some political party.

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
A Yeah, I didn't know anything about that side of it,
but yeah, I mean was a mental state. I doubt
that's a very good idea.

Speaker 3 (01:23:17):
And remember he fell out with the prime and I
said send him a text and never got an answer back.
That was on The Guy and Spin a podcast.

Speaker 5 (01:23:23):
Remember that, Oh you're kind of vaguely yeah, yep, yeah,
but well, I.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Hope the government's not playing politics with a guy that's
feeding people just because of some slight Well.

Speaker 5 (01:23:36):
I don't know you. You probably know old Moldine Son
better than I do. I call him Moldine Funny.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
Looks like, yeah, you're talking about lax and our leader. Yeah,
I mean I met I met him once on a
flight from from Ukland and the cargo.

Speaker 5 (01:23:54):
Have you seen genuine ah?

Speaker 11 (01:23:59):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
Did he seem genuine when you were talking or do
you like, let's be clear, I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Talking, right, Yeah, what were you talking about? Whatever?

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
I wasn't talking, I was he was just he was
just telling me about Yeah, yeah, maybe I'll say that
maybe I'll save that for the book. But it wasn't
a two way conversation. It's just put it that way.

Speaker 5 (01:24:26):
Okay, when the books are.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Good question Tony, thank you? Oh oh yeah, okay. I
think Dave la Telly has texted. So that's what I've
understood that's happened. It says, I'm not getting I'm not
getting affiliated all, Dave Latilly here, I run youth programs,

(01:24:51):
prison programs, mums and bubbs programs, health programs, all that continues.
Appreciate the support team so and look, with his good will,
I'm sure they'll be well. Let's hope the other funding
available for him. But thanks for the text, Dave. I
appreciate it. Marcus went, do you be fort in West
Augland's great to see so many happy people. Wow, they
keep going. Ah, they go and they go and they

(01:25:13):
go and they go. Must be forty years, must be
forty five years. Thinks of us are two of news
even twenty times this kind of new a news story
about a new fortnightly Auckland rubbish trial. To be fair
with you, I've lost track about what happens with council

(01:25:34):
and rubbish. It's never consistent. They're always trying something new,
so I don't know why they're doing twice a fortnightly collection.
It's a trial for ten thousand households. I don't know
if they're trying to collect the rubbish less or what's
going on. It's all about zero waste. Raphael Nadal has

(01:25:58):
confirmed his retirement date and a shock announcement today just
this is just breaking news. The Spanish icon is considered
one of the greatest ever to play the game, and
by some the best of all, but as shop fans
by confirming he will soon hang up his racket for good.

(01:26:20):
Nadal thirty eight, posted an emotional video on his social
media account, announcing his decision, reflecting on a career that
was longer and more successful than I could have ever imagined.
To try to look at a date when that happens.
Struggled with fitness, of course, you would be. You're thirty eight,
your hamm me, your body. Don't entirely know when that is,
but that's a situation for him. He's going to go retire,

(01:26:41):
So there you go. Free judgmental email from you, Marie,
but thanks for that. I won't read it. I've read it.
I won't read it out loud. Marcus. I know what,
Donald McDonald, they must have been a really close family.
That's right. People have made that comment, Marcus. The UK
TV show called Homes in the Sun I think, showed
several people buying in Florida. Wonder how they are in

(01:27:03):
our Cindy Well, I wonder how these people are going
to cope when you get extly hurricanes like this three
times a year and you've got to pack everything up
and go ian it's going to be and welcome to
the future. I don't want to be overly negative, but
it's unsustainable because every temperature, every one degree it warms up,

(01:27:23):
these things double in intensity, so cheapest, Dean Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
Yeah mate. The fortnightly rubbish collections in Brookland the trial, yes,
thank you? Yeah yeah. So what that's about? Are you
aware that some parts of Auckland have to put it
rubbish tags on there?

Speaker 3 (01:27:42):
I know West Auckland did. And this is from the
older pre amalgamation.

Speaker 10 (01:27:46):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Oh it's still the case and also South Auckland.

Speaker 3 (01:27:49):
Yeah okay yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
And the idea behind it, I'm not for or against it.
The idea behind it was it was to save waste
and you know, save the money on their rates back
before the supercity.

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
That's right, Okay, so their rates the rates are cheaper
because you're not paying for rubbish collection.

Speaker 2 (01:28:08):
Yep, okay, yeah, well yeah, that's right. So they have
to put the tags on and in the north Shore
for a while it was yet to put the rubbish
bags out rather than the bins. But the downside to
that when you have to pay for it, there's a
lot more trash on the streets, yes, because you have
to pay for collection. You know, renters, you know arm rendo,

(01:28:30):
don't get me wrong, but you see a lot more
garbage on the sides of the streets.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
And f call it people just dumping and running yet.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Yeah, you to see the flight to things. It's a
rendered And so what they're trying to do to save
people paying more in rates as a supercity. I'm not
a fan of the super city, don't get me wrong,
but they're trying to save costs to stop people's rates
going up. Like they haven't Wellington, like they haven't the
need but they haven't christ Jick and so that's okay, Look,

(01:29:03):
maybe you can do it once th be two weeks
now some families can't do with the Towo lucally rubbish
collection they need every week, then they've got to pay
a bit. For other people like me, you can do
with one every two or three weeks.

Speaker 10 (01:29:18):
And is that with that?

Speaker 3 (01:29:19):
With is that with bins or bags?

Speaker 5 (01:29:23):
Bins?

Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
Okay? Is it bins a good size to last for
two weeks?

Speaker 2 (01:29:28):
It depends on the size of your family. But if
you're on your own, you get a red one, which
is you know, the garbage, and the blue one, which
is recycling. The blue one's much bigger, like twice the
size of the red one. And you know, some people
need to put there every week, some people every four weeks.
If you were the whole whole point is is that

(01:29:51):
if you're putting more out, you maybe have to pay
for it or have your rate.

Speaker 11 (01:29:56):
To go up.

Speaker 3 (01:29:57):
Yeah, okay, And this is just a trial for ten
thousand homes. It's not a change, So just going to
see if it works or not.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
I think, I think, I think again already indicated they're
going to roll it out because they've done it. I've
done it in many other places and they've already indicated,
well not indicated, they're saying they're going to do it
in South Auckland and behind the scenes. I think it's
the case of don't what all the flights have been
going on? It happens all the time in these areas.

(01:30:27):
In South Aukland in particular. I forget who it was.
It doesn't matter who it was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Sorry, I'm going to go dem right on news, but
thanks for the call. It is world porridge day. Porridge
is good for a while, then it becomes boring. Every
year I have a porridge session that lasts about three months.
But there you go. It always ends up tasting them.
It's samey, samey, getting touch mark is till twelve Laurie, Welcome.

Speaker 19 (01:30:58):
Hi Machus.

Speaker 3 (01:30:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:30:59):
By touching on a couple of slightly different subjects, although
sort of related, read again this tale of the hurricane
that hit some are in eighteen eighty nine at about
which actually sunk.

Speaker 16 (01:31:16):
Four of those.

Speaker 19 (01:31:19):
Naval ships, you know, the two of the Germans and
two of the American ones.

Speaker 3 (01:31:23):
Yeah, and and what ship didn't that sink?

Speaker 19 (01:31:26):
The Calliope?

Speaker 3 (01:31:27):
And why did you think the Calliope because.

Speaker 19 (01:31:32):
Westport cole Or.

Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
Yeah, we grew up on that Story's.

Speaker 19 (01:31:40):
Tend to forget, but actually it's quite ironic now that
so many other naval ships have been sunk in somehow,
and it wasn't really wartime, you know, there was more
a or possibly a face off, a bit of an
error in some respects that quite dramatic. The hurricane that

(01:32:00):
actually hit some are and I mean it's quite relevant
also that some of those actually hit the reef. It's
one particular German one, the old I think it was
because with the coral reefs, they they overhang and that

(01:32:25):
particular ship there's then so there's a big cavern sort
of in underneath, and apparently that one got sided on
and driven inside the reef and then with a big
swell it ended up getting pushed down and then coming
up and that it it got crushed and immediately sort
of took on water and all hands were lost.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
You know, and a matter of sounds horrific, lost and
kind of crushed and coral sounds horrible.

Speaker 19 (01:32:51):
Well pretty much dround. But the boat got crushed and
the pretty much drowned. You know. I think they had
about fifty people bore that one.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
Ha ha, hang on, Lauria, I was get you to
back up the truck. We're talking. We're talking, so and
eighteen eighty eight. Why were there so many vessels there
was that during some sort of conflict.

Speaker 19 (01:33:12):
There was a conflict between the Germans and the American
or more to do with the settlers that had sort
of landed there, you know, German plantation owners who sort
of sided with one one particular chief Samoan chief tamas Isi,

(01:33:37):
and and then there was the other guys who sort
of favored the American plantation folks who sided with what
was his Madatha, about six thousand people. So yeah, there
was a sort of like almost a civil war going
on between a proxy war between two large groups of

(01:34:01):
Samoans and one Sarma Citi's side was being sponsored by
the Germans, who were regarded as trouble makers. So anyway,
the warships ended up there to sort of supposedly resolve
the problem. They're going to sort it out, and the

(01:34:23):
British ship arrived. They were almost like an observer basically,
but there was supposedly going to be a conference in
Europe to decide the colonial powers that were dividing up
certain parts of South Pacific at the time. And uh
so that was.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
I feel I need to read what is there a
book that you read about that or you just studied
at more Debt.

Speaker 19 (01:34:45):
There was a book which was around some years ago.
It used to be called The Storm that Stopped the War.
I have never been able to find again, but at
last I've just been reading online lately the account of
the American Admiral and then also the account of the
captain of the Calliope, and the accounts of people are sure. Yeah,

(01:35:07):
but what was amazing with the when they all ships
first to arrive before the hurricane, they had managed to
anchor reasonably well in arp your harbor. There has been
a whole lot of silt and stuff actually in the
harbor itself, and they thought they're reasonably safe. But when
the when the cyclone had had come in from the north,

(01:35:30):
and I mean there was an enormous amount of wave action,
but that was compounded by there's two rivers that flow
into up your harbor. Were you know they it was
because of the company with the hell of a lot
of rain, the Advising Arno and the Mulivai River, And
they entered into the harbor and churned everything up, and

(01:35:52):
all the silt and everything that on the bottom of
the harbor got washed out, and so all the all
the anchors were just dragging along on beer coral and
the ships were you know, dragging around the harbor, banging
into each other. I mean, I think the trends in
the American one that didn't get that had four anchors
out all the other German ones. There was a couple

(01:36:15):
of other more private ships as well. And apparently in
the end when they tried to I think the Clive
see it managed to because it managed to get out
of the harbor in the middle of a storm. It
only went out to see for a couple of days
and it came back in again and you know, there's
a scene of complete destruction, but it came in and

(01:36:36):
wanted to pick up its anchor plus a couple of
extra boats, and it wanted some extra extra coll uh
to get back to Australia was based at those days.

Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
Is this an event that's that's on it or recognized
and up here? Is it a big deal?

Speaker 11 (01:36:55):
There?

Speaker 3 (01:36:55):
Is it a forgotten thing?

Speaker 18 (01:36:57):
Not?

Speaker 19 (01:36:57):
Possibly a bit forgot. This part of the old Eddler,
which was the German ship, is and shown as part
of a monument on the reclamation there. I think it
is these days it had been enhanced a bit more
now I was there, there wasn't much, you know, it
was it was still visible, but it hadn't been signposted

(01:37:18):
that much. But I think a bit more don't been
done now. I think the issued a set of set
of stamps one hundred years later. It might have been
nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 3 (01:37:28):
And Lurry the folklore from the coast as the coal
was so good. You could get it burning an up
to heat much quicker than the other coal, that's how
good it was. It had saved the Calliope. That became
kind of a legendary story on the coast. I think
that was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah much, yeah, very much.

Speaker 19 (01:37:46):
Yeah, because it only had it could barely get I
think it was trying saying about, well, I reckon the
equivalent about fifteen knots, but it was only making about
one night against the storm and the doom ship the
trend and that was sided. It had to fit between
that and the reef. They could actually they reckon. They
could almost lean out and shake the hands of the

(01:38:07):
doom sailors that were going to be left behind. And apparently,
you know, there was a lot of interaction they there
was you know, there was cheering going on. There was
sort of there's been regard as one of the great
heroic events, got poems written about it. Even old you
know what's his name Banjo Pedison from Australia wrote about

(01:38:28):
fifty and.

Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
Where was the heroism? The heroism was about the calliope?

Speaker 13 (01:38:33):
Was it?

Speaker 19 (01:38:34):
Yeah? Yeah, and that and and the facts that they were,
you know, making a go for it, and that they
were being supported by these poor buggers that were sort
of on the doom ships sort of going to be
left behind here.

Speaker 3 (01:38:50):
How many people died.

Speaker 19 (01:38:53):
About one hundred and well, one hundred and fifty or so, Yeah,
mostly German that yeah, the number of Americans. I think
that was the number of gen he quoted. Yeah, but yeah, no,
it was an amazing event when you when you come
to read about, well.

Speaker 3 (01:39:14):
The Banjo Patterson songs Goodbye the Far Summer and sure
where the League Long Roller is, pour all the wash
of the Pacific on the coral guarded bay, riding lightly
at their ease in the calm of tropical seas, goes
on and on. It's quite a story.

Speaker 19 (01:39:29):
It's probably sort of like the Gordon Lightfoot of.

Speaker 23 (01:39:33):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:39:33):
It is the record the ev Infans jerial.

Speaker 16 (01:39:35):
Isn't it does it?

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
Does it? Mention Westport Cole.

Speaker 19 (01:39:40):
No, it doesn't. I don't think of that one. No,
that's story you go to hand in the New Zealand
stuff to find out.

Speaker 3 (01:39:47):
Yeah, yeah, oh well, very interesting, Laurie. Thank you. Always
like a bit of maritime history. That's my thing. Marcus.
I got mates, mostly males that would never lend their
barbecue out least of all anyone else cook on their
pride and joy. Yeah, that's right, because if people don't
clean their barbecue's a refill the gas, that's kind of
you're off the list. Marcus. If the barbecue you borrow

(01:40:10):
it is dirty, do you return it dirty or do
you take the higher road and retrut it all cleaned?
You always clean it no matter what you borrow, you
always return it in a better state car for the
gas barbecue, clean it for the gas bottle. Sleeping bag
trick question. You never lend your sleeping bag. Got quite

(01:40:32):
strong views about lending a sleeping bag. I'm not into
this sheared bedding, although I'm going to get a new
sleeping bag without a zip. That's the future. You know that,
don't you, Lighter Yep, it's more a Dona story searching
the brands Marcus. Mother's maiden name is Lee, and it's

(01:40:55):
my brother's middle name, Marcus. Listening to you while I'm
standing up by my beard, rotating hips trying to ease seat.
I love your program. Thanks missus grumpy. I don't really
know what the pain is, but i'd say that hopefully
I never know, but thank you. What else should you?

(01:41:18):
What are the other rules of lending stuff? You've got
to watch out for a lot of these people that
have done these self help courses, because it's just they're
not scared to ask to borrow stuff. I'm not a borrower.
I've got a dim view of borrowers. Okay, just borrow this? Well, no,

(01:41:40):
but if I'm a borrower, and it bear in mind,
it's normally not me that's doing them borrowing. But yeah,
this quite. You clean the car you put full of
up with guests, the barbecue, you clean it, you put
I think what the other rules of borrowing are? What
are the other things you might you borrow someone's house,
like stay in their crib. I don't know what the

(01:42:02):
rules of that are, but you clean it anyway. That
could be a good topic. I should started earlier for
that topic, the rules of borrowing. You might send a
few texts of that through return whatever you borrowed, replace
it if damaged. Your lost trend it is your own.
Don't ask to borrow things that are new. It's probably

(01:42:24):
a fairly good thing about borrowing, the etiquette of borrowing.
Got to tell you a lot of friendships end over borrowing.
Ask with plenty of notice, pick up the item at
the lender is convenience, return promptly with a thank you note,

(01:42:50):
and then you don't sub lend it either. Yeah, I'm
big on borrowing borrowing etiquette, Marcus. Have you seen a
dou valet a bed and sleeping bag in one? Mars?
Can you tell us why the navy didn't put out
a wool boom to catch the oil and the sinking?

(01:43:11):
There seems to be nothing?

Speaker 8 (01:43:12):
Who am I?

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
I'm not the inquiry. Have they got a wool boom?
Is there still time for the wool boom? We're talking
about lending the rules of lending and lending books and
would you lend a book? Would you lend a DVD?

Speaker 16 (01:43:27):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
There's are very good questions. People. Marcus is an old
saying this is true? As the words never a borrow
lender be so go buy or rent the tools you
need regards Kiev. Yeah, but it's also about community and
helping people out. So I think there's a good side
to lending. There's a generous side to lending. But it's
a different side to borrowing. There are two different actions.

(01:43:50):
I think that's my take on it. You know, we'll
reconsider that keeper calls at least some calls goes three
eight pass the never come on. Let's hear from you, Marcus.
When someone gives me food and a dish, I always
give the dishback clean and return un with fruit or baking. Wow.

(01:44:11):
It can be tricky with food because you don't know
people's dietary needs, if they're diabetic or not, and it's
not polite to us. It's a good point. What's the
thing that what's the thing that you can give back
that just marmalade? What's the something that everyone with any
dietary needs can have? What would that be? What is
the food that transcends dietary needs? Can't answer that. Let

(01:44:38):
my car out once, never again, burnt clutch out. My
part had to pick it up from the Wellington motorway,
then refuse to fix pay for it. Sharon Wellington. Someone

I did my two lots parcels. And then a few
years later our friend was learning well, she wasn't a

(01:45:25):
close to the lady. I knew she was learning Spanish.
She borrowed it, it never came, she never gave it back,
and she moved. So you know, I don't lean anything anymore.

the kids borrowed some as well. Actually, never end a chainsaw.

(01:46:58):
Offer to do the job for them and steer. That's
a very good point. Never end a chainsaw. Marcus once
brought a sledge hammer from a mate's father. He said
I didn't have to return it, and that he was
old and he wouldn't use it again. To this day,
I called the hammer Frank in his honor. Marcus grandfather said,

(01:47:20):

It's a good e, Marcus. I broke my own ruleer
and let my carpet cleaning machine to a work colleague.
When I went to use it about two months, I
discovered they had returned it broken without mentioning it never again?

I want to say no, But I'm like Marcus.

Speaker 3 (01:49:34):
It's probably a good thing. It's probably a very good
sign that you're prepared to leand each other your lawnmowers.
That's what I would say. Made me laugh. Terry think
that's funny. That's it for me. People, Oh off into
the eye of the storm. Gee. I enjoyed that. And

(01:49:57):
what do I enjoy the most? If you want to
enjoy the most? I was laughing, certainly about something in
the first hour. I can't remember anymore. It's want Julian
