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):
Greetings and welcome. Welcome to Thursday. Godness, my name is Marcus.
Here till midnight tonight. I hope it's good where you are.
Feels like Friday? What's that about? By the way, quake
has just happened. If you felt the quake, let us
know a quake has just happened. So the details are
seven fifty seven, ten minutes ago, thirty five k's south

(00:36):
of Mattawai, which is near Gisbon. I've looked it up
on the map. I imagine thirty five k's south of
Matawai would be on the way to phrase a town,
but maybe not that quite far anyway. So if you
make a square between Ruta Huna, Fraser Town, maybe Mudaway,
and Mattafaie, and then somewhere in the middle, that's where

(00:58):
the quake is. If you felt it, I don't know
if many people even live in there, but let us
know it was a five on the Richter. Was it felt? Yes?
Was it widely felt? There's that one person Orkan that
feels everything and they've felt it once again and they
need to get a handle on themselves because they're wrecking

(01:21):
up the scale. It's always someone. This is a person.
Auditor is the human seismometer. They feel everything. He looks
like red Beach by the way btw. Anyway, So if
you felt that just recently, let us know that was
ten minutes ago. Boom a fura. There's been a lot
of quakes lately. I'm of that school of thought. If

(01:44):
there's a lot of little quakes, that's a good thing
because they're releasing the tension. I start worrying when there
hasn't been a quake for a long time, if you're
having anyone in South And for a while to worry,
or a heavy snowfall. But if you just felt that,
let us snow quite quickly. Oh, by the way, people,

(02:08):
people of the air, So what they want? Eden Park
wants twelve annual concerts at them and they have six.
They want twelve, right, because Pink was hugely successful, Marcus. Honestly,

(02:30):
she was flying above us, she was there, she was there, unbelievable,
they'll say, So that was Pink. Question to you people though,
and this is the people right around New Zealand, from
Rocky or North, who do you want to fly to
walk in to see for those twelve Who's I mean,
I'm sure everyone's seen ed Shearon? What's the other one?

(02:52):
They were like limbiscuit that wouldn't fill a stone? Who
would be the stadium fillers? Because bands don't exist anymore? Adele,
we've done that, ed Shearan, We've done that. Elton he came,
got stand up, pneumonia is gone? Who is it? Is
it the peace train? I've been little? Who do you
want to see it? Because you've gotta have someone over

(03:12):
two nights of one hundred grand? Who is that person?
Is it Reagan? Probably going with the memes, It probably
is Reagan, although she hasn't got much material as she Sprinkler, Wombat,
Kangaroo because Tata can't come because it's none of accommodation
for people. We've heard that the boss heard that from

(03:34):
the manager. Doesn't work out. So who do you want
to see at eden Park? You see? What would I
travel for? I mean probably with the kids as a family.
The only person that would get us to eden Park
would be Eminem. That would be the situation for us.
I can't think who else would get us their journey?
Maybe for one song, but what a song? What a song?

(04:04):
Just a swell damn girl? Who would get you the
eaton park? Tony Robbins, by the ways, I'm the second
hen shop the other and I say I'll save that
through Tony Tony, Tony Marcus Tony welcome.

Petrolte tell us tell us what you think of electric mowers?

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Oh mate, it's not much. I don't think of it
at all.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
It's the Devil's array.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
It is, it is. It has picture got more power las.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
What what do you think of cabbage tree leaves? Do
you go around and pick those up first?

Speaker 5 (07:12):
No? No, I try not to pick up any leaves
at all.

Speaker 11 (07:14):
I use the machine to do all that.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
But the cabbage tree leaves will get stuck on your
spindle and you're under the machine trying to free them.
I've had that happen quite often.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, just every Vindeland Inn.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Eye opening, and make sure that you don't run your
blades over too much crap for us, start splinting them
and then you have they're start getting them sharpened all
the time.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Okay, who do you want to see an Eden Pack?

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Well, I'll tell you who would sell probably the whole
twelve concerts would probably be Mariah Carey.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Wow, she would probably fell walt while out.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
She is she still a thing?

Speaker 12 (07:52):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:52):
I think so? Yeah, she's still a big thing.

Speaker 13 (07:54):
Man.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
Would you go?

Speaker 11 (07:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Okay, oh that's good, that's fantastic. Okay, it's a good start. Tony,
there we go. Tony's Mariah? Do you want to see it?
Eden Park? People? Let me know because they want twelve
concerts a year, and you've got to sell out, and
they've got to And if you're gonna see at the stage,
you may help two concerts led Zeppelin, they'd work, but
they don't play anymore. Mariah Carey. Maybe I'll just try

(08:22):
to ask you that question. Who do you reckon?

Speaker 14 (08:23):
Do it?

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Who do you reckon? Fill that up? Adele? I think
Adele's done a dash. I don't reckon. She's quite as
on song as she once was. I tell you who
would sell out? Ebb I it could be Ebba. Marcus
always a pleasure listing in your show? Has any one

(08:45):
head impox in New Zealand? I reckon they have, But
I don't know if it's our audience just asking the questions.
They want twelve more concerts Leading Park? Who do you
want to see? Who's the piece that will get you
up to fly on a plane to go there to
Eden Park? Because I don't know who it is. I
don't know if the music is that kind of unifying anymore.
There can be anyone that can do it. Let us
know about that. I'll get to the texts. I'll get

(09:09):
to you. Twenty one past eight Marcus and Stevie wonder
still breathing. I would go see Eric Clapperton at the park.
Would love to see Beyond sat Eden Park would be amazing.
Oh in the Eagles, obviously, I've always thought the Eagles
were overrated. There you have said it, Marcus, Why are

(09:33):
we suddenly calling monkey pox m pox? Is it simple
standard shortening of the English language? Is something more sinister
as Freedom Park? I'd like to see taking the randfully
shoe off Auckland on repeat. Marcus, got to be Oasis
Freedom Park sharing. I would go to Oasis because all

(09:54):
the roads we walk along the winding. I don't think
they're back together yet. I think their brothers are still
in fallout territory. Someone says crowded house would sell out,
and someone says the Warriors in our home l r
L n r L final all year. I kind of

(10:18):
think the war I'll kind of feel quite upset about
the Warriors at the stage, and I reckon that the
coach never should have stood down for Noah Blake. That's
when it all went bad. Someone reckon Osken would full
it out. He must be a DJ. I think he's

(10:43):
I think he's the business. Maybe I don't know that,
but I think Pepsi's the business. Mike Marcus, welcome, are
you there, sir?

Speaker 10 (10:55):
Oh good god, I am.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I can't hate him back everywhere on my.

Speaker 10 (11:00):
Season ticket hold of for Ragby so always there never
been to a concert, but I'd really go and the
E l O play and be like Jefflin or Elo
and that there.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Could they do it? Are they still out and about?

Speaker 15 (11:16):
So?

Speaker 10 (11:17):
They did that Windy won a while ago and it
was like it was off the chat. It was carnage
and chaos and everything you want in the concert. And yeah,
so that's.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
What I'll be going. I'd go to Elo because some
of these, some of these outfits aren't going to be
around for a lot longer. It's about the last chance too,
isn't it.

Speaker 14 (11:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (11:36):
And that's the thing.

Speaker 10 (11:37):
And you hear all the stories about how we saw
so and so and he wasn't that good anymore and
what have you.

Speaker 11 (11:45):
I'd like to.

Speaker 10 (11:45):
See Jeff because he's still got all his functions, I suppose, So, yeah,
he seems like he's still he's the coolest guy and
rock and roll and he's still sort of could be.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
So yeah, they reckon.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Even when Phil Collins crawled out to sing at the vineyard.
He was still pretty good.

Speaker 10 (12:06):
Yes, that's what you want.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
You want to see them even if they're not up
to it, because you're backing men. Even with the Seekers
when ethels Ends had gone, they're the double bass at
the back. It was still good.

Speaker 10 (12:19):
Yeah, I've underrated the old Seekers, aren't they fantastic?

Speaker 3 (12:23):
The Seekers? Goodness fantastic, A lovely morning town ride, red
rubber ball. And they're not going to fill the They're
not going to fill even part. Obviously. Nice to talk
from you, Mike. Here we go. She's been varied. Seemed
like a good lawn mowing around that guy, didn't he?

(12:45):
Hey j he says, I'm not on Google. Isn't the
point of Google is that you can't actually choose to
be on Marcus Madonna is an obvious choice. Celendi on,
especially after the Olympic show. If she's well enough, well,
there'd be there'd be a Hess if everyone brought their
tickets and flour around the country and see Celendi on.
And she had the restlessly irritable leg shaking standing standing

(13:13):
where I shouldn't struggle to find the name of a
stiff person syndrome. I don't know when that's coming on Marcus.
I don't know if he would ever be able to
get big enough to fill Eden Park, but I'd sell
a kidney to be able to have seen Harry Chaponne live.

(13:36):
I don't know who that is, but yeah, good go you,
Harry Shippin. Maybe it's just spinning area. Maybe it's just
ignorance from me. I think they stopped calling it monkey
pox because people wouldn't go to the doctor, because I
think I've got got things about monkey pox, because I
think it was a Yeah, I don't think monkey box
was a crash hot name. I don't know that, but

(14:00):
I mean, would you like the kids mate to come
and play if they had monkey pox? When it's got
kind of negative connotations to isn't it? It was racist
and stigmatizing the language. Mm hmm monkey pox. I don't

(14:20):
quite know, but you know, I mean they seem to
know World Health Organization. Of course, I still come to
work on In this emails for people wanted me to
watch YouTube videos of people talking about the pandemic.

Speaker 17 (14:33):
It was four years ago, four years ago, goodness, Dave.

Speaker 8 (14:48):
Four years ago, and we're still paying for it as
a country, or so it seems that's just me. I'm
watching Clarkson's Farm. I wonder, Marxist, did you record it
or did you miscriet? Because it's very humorous, Jeremy Clarkson
at his best. He's he's got my sense of hear
and it's well worth a watch.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
People say I'd enjoy it, but I've always found clacks
and a bit of is not. Has therever any been
my cup of tea? No, but that's just with the cars.
I've never seen him on the farm.

Speaker 8 (15:22):
He humors me, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
And where you watching, Dave? What's your format?

Speaker 8 (15:29):
Four met? There's a cup of tea, A little lound
sweet in the fifty five inch sends me myself and
I in the this seat of the house and quite happy.

Speaker 11 (15:40):
And my skuy.

Speaker 8 (15:41):
I can pause it. I've got a pause now, but
I'm halfway through it. He's very humorous and I could.
I could watch him all day.

Speaker 11 (15:50):
He's prettyciate.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Aren't you the king of your own remote? There on
your other couts, just doing what you want? Stop the
documentary ring, talk back chicken with the nation kicking with you.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
And your recorder, because I think you'd enjoy it, Marcus.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, that's kind if you got snacks there with the Dave.

Speaker 8 (16:07):
Yeah, I've got chippies. I've got chippies that I shouldn't
be eating because I'm pretty diamedic. And I've got cashew
nuts about three quarter.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
It's the king of the nut, the cashew nut, isn't it.

Speaker 11 (16:19):
I enjoyed them.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
I like them.

Speaker 8 (16:20):
But I have bought half of the kilo of walnuts
from the nutplace over the road from Peck and save Worehouse.
They weren't cheap, but I mixed them up. Occasionally I'll
get a half a walnut.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Oh, add that little ad, that little zz to the cashews,
because the walnut can be quite sharp taste and candid.

Speaker 8 (16:40):
Yeah, that's what a couple of teas for mate to
wash it down.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Brilliant Dave. You're living the dream there on your leather
couch and you're fifty inch TV A great key with
short film there. It's on Sky open if people want
to watch it. Thursdays at seventh was just finished. Now, well,
the precious little for people to watch. The least we
can do is tell them when there's something free that's
good on. After they took your coronation straight away, Marcus,

(17:06):
the there has more chance of Celine Dion playing at
Eden Park than the Warriors winning there. It's said that
the Warriors have become the butt of a joke again,
haven't it, because they started so well last year. Still
a bit heartbroken about who's in the Hall of Fame,
Benji Mark Graham. I tried to tell the kids who
are the four Kiwis were in the Hall of Fame?

(17:27):
Two City Wiki, Ruben Wiki. I couldn't work o who
the other one was. I'll google that up for myself.
Get in touch, you got to talk. My name's Marcus
Huddle twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine
to text are Stacy Jones? Of course I thought for
a second might be Sean Johnson. It's Stacy Jones. He's

(17:52):
the only Warrior. I understand that it's there. Hey, once
in a while. This is not a topic segue, but
I'm just I'll tell you where my mind went.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
Right.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Dave rings about the Farming show, right, and then I think, ah,
where we're going to go with that? And we're talking
about Clarkson Free to TV talk about other things Free
to Wear on TV. I talked about Coronation Streets, not
what it was then I got thinking about Ken Barlow,

(18:25):
and of course Ken Barlow was a druid and he
would dress up on the solstice and go to Stonehenge
because that's what druids do. And I think you've got
a reflec from that. People thought it was unacted and unactively, unactily,

(18:49):
but he was, Yeah, so good on. I'm for outing
himself as a druid. I'm talking more about the actor
that wasn't. But for most people, the actor and the
person have become combined. But yeah, Bill Roach was his name,
and he was a druid and would dress up. They
dressed up. It's like in a white robe with like

(19:11):
a white headdressed like the nunswear like a wimple. Anyway,
this is a very long segue, but speaking of Bill Roach,
Ken Barlow and Stonehenge, I see in the news today

(19:34):
that they think that they have found that the center
stone of Stonehenge, that giant rock that's in the middle
of that rock array, has been bought from the very
north of Scotland. Well, for goodness sake, how would you
do that by boat? By Oxen? And I just wonder

(19:57):
as well as talking about who you would like mainly
to see at Eden Park performing Cabbage Tree Swamp. They
used to go eating back because it was a swamp
before they drained and turned to a stadium. If anyone's
a stone Hinge obsessive, like being there or being on
the internet, or what they think it's for, I'd love

(20:20):
to hear from you about that, because I'm always I've
never been to Stonehenge, but once in a while on
the Discovery Channel there will be a program on how
they got the rocks or how they transported them. Always fascinating.

(20:42):
There's certain shows that come on the TV. They're always fascinating.
Anything about the Easter Islands always fascinating. Anything about Stonehenge
always fascinating. Anything about the Pyramids always good as well.
So you might be a Stonehinge obsessive. You might have
been there on a big tour. It's a great photo,

(21:02):
by the way, I'll check that on the internet. It's
a great shot Bill Roach at Stonehenge. It's one of
the great shots. But get in touch if you want
to talk. My name is Marcus. Welcome. That's the other topic,
But mainly it's about who you want to see. Who
do you think would just who do you think would
justify the Palava by taking them to Eden Park because

(21:24):
there aren't many. I feel that Adele's time has passed.
I feel that ed Sheer and Tanner's moment.

Speaker 16 (21:36):
Now.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I'm not quite sure who the new person would be
that could fill it out. Taylor doesn't want to come here.
She's got her own stuff going on. She likes to
go to bigger stadiums. So who do you think would
be the person to come to eden Pack? Marcus, great
use for electric moas, set on a high mow the
driveway with Ketcher on and pick up all the leaves
and debris rear Eden Park dire straits. I'd go die

(22:01):
Strait to be great. Who's alive though, Yeah, Marcus, it
definitely has to be Metallica. People are still complaining about
the show. They're canceled back at twenty nineteen. That easily
said out Eden Park. Multiple Knights have given the chance,
I'd go to Batallica. I'd certainly go to Metallica, no

(22:23):
doubt about it. They would getting on the seven three seven.
I think they'd be a tremendous concert. Mind you, what
about the train home? Mind you? Are the Metallica fans,
they're pretty there will be in their sixties, now, wouldn't they.
They'll be on their gold passes on the trains. By

(22:43):
the way, If there's any druids out there, I'd love
to talk to a druid. I don't know why. It's
probably one of those things that's fallen out of favor
but these days. But yeah, I think Bill Roach was
a druid. He did go to Stonehenge. I mean you've
been cat Ken ballet. I think we're all excited you
had some life outside the street. Andrew as Marcus, Welcome

(23:05):
to the airwaves.

Speaker 16 (23:08):
Oh wow, Yeah, so I sadly you haven't been the
Stone Hinge.

Speaker 12 (23:17):
I feel like.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
I feel I've seen it so many times on TV
that it wouldn't be that interesting. Hello, Yeah, I haven't
gone any were Andrew? Do you want to hear what
I said?

Speaker 9 (23:33):
You?

Speaker 18 (23:34):
I said, I've seen it so many times, pat them,
I don't actually hear anything you said.

Speaker 16 (23:42):
Okay, okay, sorry about that. What's what?

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Wait?

Speaker 16 (23:47):
Wait a minute, wait a minute, two seconds? Can you
hear anyhow?

Speaker 3 (23:55):
What are you doing?

Speaker 16 (23:59):
Just getting the radio working?

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Okay, we don't need to have the radio.

Speaker 16 (24:04):
You're on the radio channel anyway. Nonetheless, go your team.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
I haven't been to Stonehenge because I reckon once you've
seen it on the books, on the TV, it would
be that different in real life.

Speaker 16 (24:23):
It's a fair quite actually, yeah you have you have
you been driven? I've been white well, I mean I've
driven a past past it life probably I wouldn't say
a hundred times, but yeah, at least the circle theory

(24:45):
times and yeah it's just people. The thing that hacked
me off about just people pulling over and gets traffic
Junes and yeah, but yeah, it's just a bunch of
rocks and a circle, well in a circle. But what

(25:07):
surprised me on the solsterst and particularly in Somerset, you know,
you get all the Morris dancing and all that sort
of stuff comes out and you get some real hardcore
UK well not UK, sorry, UK's a bad word, but

(25:34):
English people, well English folks and they have you know,
they have a beliefs and whatever it is, and you know,
it's a really interesting look at what they you know.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Well, I thought you were going to have some exciting
theory about what it was used for. Brother. I think
probably what I'm getting from you in the time it
takes Andrew I'm going to move on, but I appreciate
you making the attempt to call nineteen to nine what
people want to see? Sting of Eden Park, Pete Marketing,

(26:11):
Hi Pete.

Speaker 15 (26:11):
Hi Pete from chross Church during the first time caller
seeing Metallica alive in christ Church after the earthquakes. That
was I think that would fill weedn Park brother. I
think Metallica is one bloody good concert. And the other
thing that I'd just like to say is talking about

(26:33):
Selene dionn the on Disney. I think there's a documentary
about her and she has a full episode with her
syndrome going on. So yeah, definitely worth a quick look
if you get bored sometime. Mate.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
So people people say it's quite moving. Did Metallica come
after the quake?

Speaker 13 (26:54):
Pete?

Speaker 3 (26:55):
What are you saying they should have?

Speaker 5 (26:57):
No?

Speaker 15 (26:57):
They did. They came after the earthquakes and put on
a bloody good show at the at Amy Stadium and
made the poor.

Speaker 19 (27:05):
Rocket will Yeah, bloody good, buddy, bloody good.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Is it horn Castle?

Speaker 15 (27:12):
It was horn Castle?

Speaker 11 (27:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:15):
But what's a good Ami, that's a stupid You know
what I saw there at their horn Castle?

Speaker 19 (27:20):
What did you mate? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:22):
The lego show or.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
The Brick Show.

Speaker 15 (27:27):
It's not too bad, gives a bit of creativity, but yeah,
definitely the old live music definitely goes off. But yeah,
no bloody good.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Because I can't you. I know you Christ people don't
love Auklin. But what would you fly up there to see?
At Eden Park?

Speaker 15 (27:42):
Oh, I've flyn up, I've seen well, I haven't been
eiden Park, but I've been to spark a Ringer, I've
seen Kiss with old Jeens Simmons.

Speaker 19 (27:51):
That was pretty damn good.

Speaker 15 (27:54):
Who else have I been up to see? Can't cut
ever a call right now, mate, But yeah, Hey, I
just wanted to say it's bloody good to be on
your show. And hey, I wish a lovely evening.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
You've been a career highlight for me. Pete love kiss,
get in touch. Steve Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 9 (28:15):
Good a Marcus.

Speaker 12 (28:16):
Hey.

Speaker 9 (28:16):
Just on the concert thing, I think that guy a
couple of texts back head and on the head Die
Straights would have to be the one. Also, maybe Deep Purple,
perhaps Deep Purple, Deep Purple being my first concert ever
at Western Springs back in the eighties.

Speaker 19 (28:35):
But yeah, I'd go see these guys again because.

Speaker 18 (28:37):
I believe they're all still alive, the original members.

Speaker 13 (28:42):
But yeah, Die Straates.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
That was one regret I never got, even though they
came over here a few times, I never got to
see them.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I could just hear some of the guitar. I don't
think they've played since nineteen ninety two, Deep Deep Purple
or Distract dire Straits.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, that was Yeah.

Speaker 9 (29:06):
You could just hear Mark Knoth on.

Speaker 13 (29:08):
Their guitar and.

Speaker 19 (29:11):
The swing and you Yeah, classics, absolute classics.

Speaker 20 (29:17):
He can.

Speaker 9 (29:18):
I you're you're you're a top South Island land mate,
I'm I'm from Auckland. I'm driving around to the South
Island now. I'm actually just driving out of Winton. Why
what's the story of all these tons on the on
the end of your names? Winton, Clinton, Wilton? What was
the story there, Dipton? Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of

(29:43):
tons down.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
The queens Are Queenston. Where you going now?

Speaker 9 (29:50):
I'm going back to the Bell Cluther driving back to
bell Cluther.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Which way you going?

Speaker 9 (29:56):
I've just come from Winton and I've driven through. Brown's
come from Mattatura.

Speaker 16 (30:05):
Yeah Cluther right now.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
I think people are still coping with the fact that
Brown's pub no longer goes. That was a sad day.
I don't know what I have to throw that. I
have to ask the audience on that one.

Speaker 16 (30:16):
Steve.

Speaker 9 (30:18):
Yeah, I just think there's another bloody tune, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
It's like, what's it going?

Speaker 9 (30:23):
I couldn't work it out why. It must must be
something in the area here in Otago.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I don't know it's south, but I'll find out for you.
I presume it's Scottish for town, but Dittonton. I'll find out.
There's one place town, there's one place up north. It's
a boring story. I'll save it. Tremain at Marcus Welcome, good.

Speaker 19 (30:44):
Evening, Good evening, Marcus. How are you good?

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Thank you, Tremaine.

Speaker 19 (30:52):
Look, I wasn't listening, but I was scrolling through Facebook
and I did see your question about the concerts. Now,
one thing immediately sprang to mind, and it's for me.
It personally would be Michael Jackson and down.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, tell me about it, Mike. What did you say
after Michael Jacksons said Michael Jackson, and I was surprised
by that. What did you say? End down, ends down?

Speaker 19 (31:19):
Michael Jackson, hands down. Yeah, it's probably the only name
that I could think of, they could fill it for
more than a couple of days. He could probably go.
He could probably fill it a whole week if he
was still around.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
But that's I think. I think that last sentence is
doing the heavy lifting and what you're saying, if he's still.

Speaker 19 (31:41):
Around, Yes, if he were still around, because.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Because they want twelve, because because the Impact Trust wants
twelve contents a year, and I don't think there's enough
acts that could go there that people would go to see.
And we're discussing that you've come up with Michael Jackson.
Apart from the fact that what was he onprofit? What
did he take?

Speaker 19 (32:05):
Sorry, sorry Marcus, what did he take in terms of what.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
That drug?

Speaker 19 (32:16):
Oh, I'm not sure. No, I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Proper file, it was proper fult. So if Michael Jackson
stayed off the proper file, he would throw But he's
not around. Who would fill it?

Speaker 19 (32:32):
Well, I probably would have to say other perhaps Lady
Garger Beyonce, one of those.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, Barbara streisand I reckon Barbara Streisan probably.

Speaker 19 (32:45):
Would oh, hands down, yes, yes for.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
I go see Babs. Yeah, because there aren't many of
the dirties you're going to get You're got to get
the boomers because they've got the coin. Mind you, they've
got the coin. The younger ones have got the coin
for Taylor Swift, haven't they?

Speaker 21 (33:04):
Just they have?

Speaker 19 (33:06):
But I don't have that sort of coin for her.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
No, well, you can't get the tic. You can't get
the tickets anyway, because she wouldn't come here, so he
went to Sydney.

Speaker 19 (33:16):
No, no, And I'll tell you what more, who would
be able to sell it without a doubt if she
was still around? Was Tina Turner?

Speaker 3 (33:24):
I think she is still around.

Speaker 19 (33:27):
No, Tina Turner th last year?

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Really yeah? Oh yeah, because I talked about her. I
talked about her husband that she'd married in Switzerland. That's right,
the record guy, of course. But these are great. These
a great comment. If the talk show was which dead
artists could fleet in pack? Because you got your two
from two there, aren't you?

Speaker 19 (33:51):
Yes, that's right, that's right. I guess I'm only thinking
about the book, the ones that I would go to see. Yeah,
in terms of ones who were the ones who were
still alive, I'd probably say, I'd say Steve Wonder or
Bruce Springsteen. Perhaps we'll be able to sell Eden Park.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
I think Bruce Springsteen, although he seems to play forever,
he goes on stage and plays throughout three weeks. That's
he probably would. I'd go to that also too, or
Willie Nelson nice to talk Trema and I enjoyed that greatly.
They want twelve concent to year at Eden Park, but
there's also the caveat about which bands would be good

(34:33):
enough to full eaton Park, and that's the question. I'm
asking you who you'd want to see there. I don't
know the answer to that. I'll be curious though, because
most of the bands people want to see no longer play.
That's an irony, isn't it. They only seemed to start
up playing again if they need the money, which is
not a bad thing actually against bands back out there.

(34:54):
So he might want to mention that. We're also talking
about stone Hinge, because I think that they've now worked
out where the rock in the middle came from from
the top of Scotland, so it's pretty amazing they're cutting
and moving giant bits of stone. I was gonna say granite,

(35:15):
but there'd be some person saying it's not granite, but
moving those huge rocks around, So it might be something
that's got some interesting takes on stone Hinge. Anytime there's
anything on the TV about the moving of stone Hinge
or the maker, it's always pretty fascinating. So get in touch.
There might be something else you want to mention tonight.
I don't have a problem with that'd be good to
hear from you. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

(35:37):
I'll get to the text because there's some rippers nine
to nine two to text. Anything goes talkback Sky. She's
a Thursday, nice Seguay. Last couple nights we've got off
the Olympics. We're onto other stuff for every happy about that,
because every so often you've got to move beyond the Olympics.

(35:59):
Although looking at the internet today, the story that's continued
to go on, it's very much all about ray Gun Wow.
Everyone's having a go at her. I can't quite work
out even how she could monetize it. It's not like
she got to her own range of merchandise because the
people under that stage yet is still confused and angry.

(36:20):
Any who hands down Pink Floyd enough said, thank you,
Marcus Andy, definitely, Neil Diamond, Marcus Coo of even Park
said Taylor Swift one of the three nights, but he
couldn't give it to her because it would have taken
them over their annual limit. I guess the way that

(36:44):
completely answers your question as to whether we would have
the demand for twelve. Yeah, I've heard conflicting stuff about
Taylor Swift and Auckland. I've heard that the accommodation just
wasn't here, and I heard that on fairly good authority.
So because you do need a lot of accommodation obviously, Marcus,

(37:10):
who'd you talking a bit about Stonehenge? Did you see
they've worked out the alter stone was brought from Scotland.
The only way they could have bought the stone was
by boat. That has them all perplexed at their knowledge
and abilities and such as stone being shipped, and also
how distincuities work together. It was interesting read. The original

(37:30):
article was in the New Scientist magazine. That's exactly why
I mentioned it Cross that today Marcus, three remaining members
of pink Ford was Eden Park. Probably for a week
if you get them on stage together. Interesting two of
the Olympics, right, No one asked for a ticket tap parade.
Normally they want parades are we sick of those now?

(37:54):
Or was it just for the America's Cup. I wouldn't
have minded a parade. It always gets people going.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
But yeah, here we go.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nineteen to
to text. But if there is other news that's breaking,
I'll bring that to you tonight. Pedestrian has been hit
by bus in christ Church Hills Road, Warrington Street. I

(38:24):
happened early this afterday. They'll be taking to hospital there.
That's some of the news I can tell you. You know,
they're calling it a jaw dropping discovery about Stonehenge. I
don't know what sort of boat it would have been,
because the Vikings had boats. Good evening, John AT's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 19 (38:45):
Hey make as good show.

Speaker 22 (38:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 18 (38:48):
Listen. The Stonehenge thing one of my pets. I won't
call it pet peas, but pet thinking projects is about
the Pyramids in the same vein as not understanding how
they can move a stone that size of a ship.
We had this odd thinking in society, and we don't

(39:08):
understand something, we default to the weird and wonderful. So
when people look at the Pyramids, you know the great
problems that are built forty seven hundred years ago, still
standing of course, you know, I'm still finding out how
mathematically and architecturally perfect they are. And when we don't
understand how they were built, we say it must have

(39:29):
been alien technology.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
The reality, I haven't heard about Aliens with Stonehenge, No, but.

Speaker 18 (39:39):
I think I think it applies the same. I mean,
I mean some of the mathematics in Stonehenge is the same,
you know, in terms of the same vein with the Pyramids,
you know, built with provision and accuracy and all these
kind of things.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
But you look at what I imagine is the difference
beween Stonehenge and the Pyramids. Normally, when they said it
must have been performed by it must have been built
by Aliens, it's normally that is normally comments by Europeans.
If something is built by non Europeans, it's so many
a form of racism, whether they be the people the
Incas or the Egyptians, it tends to be where it

(40:15):
comes from. They're saying, oh, well, they're not as advanced
as us, therefore they kind of build something like that.
So it's interesting in stadium, So I would say.

Speaker 18 (40:22):
That no, no, no, no, that's try I mean and
to me, the interesting thing is when you look at
when you look at some of these structures, that what
must have been in place, and I use the pyramids
as an example of this. What must have been in
place is pedagogy. So there must have been an existing
learning system and knowledge about physics, about mathematics, about astronomy,

(40:47):
about a whole range of things in order to build
the pyramids forty seven hundred years ago. And they didn't
just start with the Great Pyramids of Giza. One of
the builders, one of the key pharaohs, had been a
bit a bit of a builder in his parts, in
his spare time, and you've been building pyramids of different
sizes and shapes across that sort of North Africa area.

(41:08):
But if there was pedo, dodgy and architecture, there must
have been a huge infrastructure as well. So how did
they feed the people that built the pyramids? How did
they get the water to them? So there must have
been huge amounts of leadership and organizational structure, you know.
But what we do in our ignorance is I think
we have lost vast amounts of knowledge because we can't

(41:31):
work it out. We can't work out how they shifted
these great blocks of stone and with the accuracy. So
we have this ignorant kind of response. But could it
be that we've just dumbed down because pyramids and these
structures are turning up all over the world, you say,
in the Amazon, you know, other parts of Africa, parts
of Europe. These incredible structures are turning up and we

(41:53):
have no explanation for them. So yeah, so I'm just
intrigued by the whole conversation.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Really nice to hear from you, John, Thank you, Robbie.
It's Marcus. Welcome a man.

Speaker 13 (42:05):
How are you good, Robbie, Marcus.

Speaker 23 (42:07):
I want to talk to you about who would be
full out Eden Park. Well, first of all, you'd have
to ask Helen Clark to allow it, I guess, but
that's just being suspicious. But I would think a c
DC and probably Robbie Williams.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Yeah, yeah, kind of interest about Robbie Williams because he
was big there for a while, then he kind of disappeared,
but now suddenly they're making out that he's one of
the greats of all time. I never saw him as that.
But people love people. Yeah, I love to see angels,
don't they.

Speaker 23 (42:45):
Yeah, I thought it did because I think he was
one of the first artists ever assigned a two hundred
million dollar contract and he had to produce so many albums.
But you know, I mean, I was a documentary of them.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Robbie Williams is not one of the great. He's Alerican
and he's a boy band. But he's not. Yes, he's not.
He's not one of the great voices or songwriters. I
don't think he writes his songs, does he?

Speaker 11 (43:12):
But yeah, yeah, alone, I'm not sure.

Speaker 23 (43:15):
Marcus, I'm not sure. And he'd be cool. He'd follow
it out O.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
People would to people do Love, and people would turn
up and they'd be wandering through the streets of mountd
Ed and singing angels, wouldn't they as they went home,
which is one of those Guestro pubs.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 23 (43:32):
But I've listened to you for a very long time.
I'm a first time caller. Well, I appreciate all the
knowledge that you have and your vocabulary. I think it's
quite amazing. I'm just sitting down on my small batch
looking at Whale Island to my straight and to my

(43:56):
right White Island, which has been a bit active.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I heard that, and I think not as active, but
they've sait it active like the magma's rising.

Speaker 23 (44:07):
Yeah yeah, so that could be interesting or it could
be wiped out tonight, but never might What a good lost.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
What a way to go because I don't think Hey
Robbie right, yes, yes, are they aware of tsunamis? If
it goes would wipe you out? Do they are you
on tsunami watch from White Island?

Speaker 12 (44:27):
Oh?

Speaker 23 (44:28):
Yes, yeah, I think we've got about ninety seconds or not.
I mean, you know, good night, Iran.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Where are your khakis? Where those khakis?

Speaker 12 (44:41):
Where I am? You?

Speaker 13 (44:42):
Bang?

Speaker 1 (44:43):
And you.

Speaker 14 (44:46):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Forgive me?

Speaker 23 (44:49):
But did you live in the North Island or were
you a South Southland I.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Lived in Auckland until two thousand and one.

Speaker 23 (44:58):
Yep, okay, yeah, I'm a Southerner as well, so I
quite often listened.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
To you and where are you are you from? Where
are you from?

Speaker 23 (45:07):
I've done from neth and mid Canterbury.

Speaker 11 (45:10):
Well you're well.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Lucky, hereness. You don't expect people we're from there. You
just expected the place that people kind of rock up
to and stay.

Speaker 23 (45:20):
But you go you yeah, I only come to the
North Island to raise the IQ level. I haven't done
too well, nice.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
To hear from you anyway, Robie a better run, but
that's Nat. Thank you thanks for phone meeting me. Ben
ats Marcus welcome, good evening.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
Good evening, Marcus. Only to the park to watch the
concert in twenty twenty one, and it was in the
March start of April at six sixty. I was living
up there at the time and there's like fifty thousand
people crans in there and we do it almost two
hours to get on a train to leave to go
to Bow And I think if you're going to hold

(46:01):
a concert in like have twelve of them a year,
they really need to do something about the public transport
because no one wants to go watch a concert and
then have to wait for an hour and a half
on a train.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
And where we where we got Ben? Where where you
go from Britain out the southern line of the Eastern Line.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
Will you go for a new market? And I think
it was a western line you jump on, but yeah,
and you stop for Europhi, Cleensland or something. Okay, I
can't remember. It's been a while, it's been a couple
of years, but I've been to it. I went to
a crafit match at the mcg and Australia and it

(46:41):
was there was probably seventy thousand people. This was six seven,
eight years ago and we're on a train, you know,
eighty thousand people. The place is cleared out with from
twenty twenty thirty minutes, but everyone was on the train going.
They had just all these trains just lined up, one
after the other, ready to go. Like an Auckland. Everyone
gets on a six carriage train, it's totally full and

(47:03):
you've got to wait another six eight minutes for the
next train. Like they really need to get the public
transport and order if they want people to go to
these things.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
Wow, it's pretty strong being you wouldn't go back, No,
I would.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
But I think you know, i'd probably try and stay
in a hotel, you know, close to the grounds itself.

Speaker 6 (47:23):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
I went to quite a few League matches this year
in Australia and even at the major stadium, you know,
you're out, there's no one waiting, you've got light rail,
what's your way straight away? Wo you're gone, there's no
way to quite exciting, you know, and it just works.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
So well, yeah, it's it's about it. I just yeah,
I was just a bit concerned about that one. There's
fifty thousand people, and if you're having them regularly, you
really need to get your transport of order eight. Otherwise
people just aren't going to go.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Would people as six sixty still got It's not my jam,
but people still like it. That's still it's still big.

Speaker 16 (48:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
I think they.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
I think from what I was saying on Facebook a
few weeks ago they were having the last concert and
bel klufa.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
Okay, there was a what a concert type thing?

Speaker 4 (48:12):
That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And I think it
was the last one. And other than that, you know,
I just want to see them the once. But I'd
love to get you know, it was it was great,
fifty thousand people in the stadium watching it, this great
atmosphere area or didn't do it again, but like I said,
I'll probably I'll probably get something closer so I didn't
have to jump on public train sport because it's shocking.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Nice to hear from your being walk from pretty out
you do that in an hour. God brisk walk always
as the way to furnish your concert, sing your songs.
Neil Marcus, Welcome, good evening, you're there, Neil.

Speaker 13 (48:49):
So Hello, Marcus, and I've been listening to you and
you seem to have a fairly wide range of knowledge.
So I'm going to ask you this regarding stone Henge.
It's something to do its geographical position. Has got something

(49:11):
to do with something called lay lines.

Speaker 11 (49:15):
Now have you heard of them?

Speaker 3 (49:17):
I have, I don't know much about I have heard
of lay lines.

Speaker 13 (49:20):
Right well, apparently it's quite a big thing in England.
Churches and things are on lay lines all like that.
Is it a British thing or is the lay lines everywhere?
I mean, have we got lay lines in New Zealand?

Speaker 8 (49:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (49:38):
I think there was a pilot that used to go
on about New Zealand and it's lay lines. There was
some pilot that used to go on and on about it.
Do you not remember that? And I think he was
big on lay lines right right?

Speaker 2 (49:52):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 13 (49:54):
I wondered if I lived on one because I've got
a bad back, you know. I didn't know if there
was anything.

Speaker 6 (49:59):
To do with that.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
There was a pilot called Captain Keithy right right. It
was around. He was in for a long long time
and he worked for in New Zealand, I think, and
he was big. He'd seen a flying saucer, and I
think he was big on lay lines. He talked about
a grid and grid point and stuff like that.

Speaker 11 (50:22):
Bad Marcus.

Speaker 13 (50:24):
I know you you're known for time and that, but
what are they.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
What what's a lay line? Yeah, munt No, No, not really.
I just thought it was. I don't know. I think
probably what they happened is they find the prehistoric places,
right like Stonehenge and the Pyramids, and and then they

(50:53):
draw lines between them and they try and make some
kind of studio scientists studo scientific purpose of why they're
all there. It's all about it's all about Earth energy.
They might be trying to communicate with alien spacecraft.

Speaker 17 (51:10):
Right right.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
I don't think i'll put your back out. I think
they think alien spacecrafts use the lay lines to navigate, all.

Speaker 13 (51:26):
Right, Marcus, So the imaginary things, actually.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
Oh you can't. You're not going to trip over one
to do your bacon that way, Neil. That would be
my advice.

Speaker 13 (51:35):
Well, I go to the library every day to read
a few free newspapers. There's old fellow there, and I
can swear he's an alien, but there you go.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Yeah, we shouldn't say anything to him, of course, Neil,
have you not been to Stonehenge?

Speaker 18 (51:48):
No?

Speaker 6 (51:49):
Do you know? I never got there.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
I wonder why.

Speaker 7 (51:53):
Do you know?

Speaker 11 (51:54):
Isn't it a funny thing, Marcus?

Speaker 13 (51:56):
You know, like I've come to New Zealand and I've
visited everywhere top to bottom, including Stuarts, Ireland.

Speaker 6 (52:05):
But where you live, you ten, you tend not to
go and look exactly right.

Speaker 13 (52:16):
Yeah, And people have said, oh, you come from yorksure,
have you seen this? Have you seen that?

Speaker 6 (52:21):
And I never have?

Speaker 11 (52:22):
And I regret that.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
You know what I mean, you've see New Zealand. I
mean if you've been right down the south and right
up north, I mean, you know, that's a pretty exciting country.
You look around.

Speaker 11 (52:34):
Oh, it's lovely.

Speaker 13 (52:36):
I decided to either retire to British Columbia on New Zealand,
and I ended up in New Zealand, and I don't
regret it.

Speaker 6 (52:45):
It's lovely.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
We're in New Zealand. Did you end that straight up?
To begin with Neil.

Speaker 13 (52:52):
Milton, the little town south of.

Speaker 6 (52:55):
Dunedin, Milton?

Speaker 17 (52:58):
Yeah, for goodness sake.

Speaker 13 (53:01):
And do you know, Marcus, I rented a farmhouse, beautifully situated,
rented twenty five dollars a week.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
What year did you come out?

Speaker 11 (53:15):
Oh, Marcus, I've.

Speaker 13 (53:17):
Got a touch and dementia. I can remember fifty years ago,
but yesterday afternoon's a bit of a mystery. Late eight
is probably Marcus.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Wow, Milton all the places.

Speaker 11 (53:34):
Yeah, it's smashing little place. And he used to fund.

Speaker 13 (53:37):
We used to get cut off, me and me and
mam my wife Hannah, and we used to love it,
you know, we used to love being cut off.

Speaker 6 (53:44):
And another chap who.

Speaker 13 (53:46):
Had an empty house on his land, we went through
and said, would you consider rented it?

Speaker 11 (53:52):
And he says, yeah, if you want to, And.

Speaker 6 (53:57):
I says, I wished you were.

Speaker 11 (53:58):
A week for Oh, I don't know if you if
I give you the paint, would we give it a
bit of a lick of a paint. That'll do.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
I'm going to live on. But nice story. Thank you
for that, Milton of all places. For goodness sake. We
are talking a bit of everything tonight, but mainly it's
about Stonehenge and lay lines. Lady Lee, I don't even
know what lay lines are, but I know that for
a while there people thought that. I think a lot
of people look at maps, they connect the dots. Well,

(54:27):
of course they're on the internet. Now doing YouTube channels
their influences. So there we go, just like that. And
the bands that were because there aren't many bands that
would fill up Eden Park. Someone said Tall, I still
get bad vibes from Tull after they had that COVID event,

(54:48):
didn't they remember Tall? And there was a woman that
came back from the cheerleading tournament. They went to Parments
North then went to Tall. Remember we knew all the
super spreader events by name in the early days. And
here I am saying we shouldn't be going about COVID,
but it's indelible some of us. And those two women
that escaped and drove down the country didn't escape. They

(55:14):
did escape, and they'd got a funeral or something. I'm
very pleased that the Commerce Commission is on to the
supermarkets and their mispricing of goods. So good on them.
I've been going on that for a while, agoing that
for so long. I I'm glad I'm no longer anyway.

(55:37):
Eight hundred eighty absconded. That's what we all went that word.
Carnet's Marcus good evening.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Good evening, Marcus said, you were talking about Stonehenge. I've
just entered the conversation, so I was wondering where you'd
kind of got two with it. I heard some interesting
reporting from I believe it was BBC or Sky News
about Stonehenge earlier on today, and I was just wondering
if it was the same topic.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Well, look, the reason we're talking about Stonehenge is because
they have identified the center stone. Someone said it's the
Abby Stone. I'm not that ife with the nomenclature of Stonehenge,
but they reckon it's a bit of rock from Scotland.
That's probably the new scientists are reporting. And they couldn't
actually take examples of the rock because they're not allowed,

(56:26):
but they got some old chips.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
That's the one I saw earlier on today, and it's
so fascinating. I mean, already Stonehenge one of those, you know,
obviously enigmatic, interesting places of the planet, and then to
see that today on a mainstream news media outlet, and
they showed the distance across you know, that part of
the world, and how far that massive stone would have

(56:53):
had to have traveled, and you know, obviously it would
potentially be brought by or if they brought it over land,
so much you know, foliage and land and undulating hills
and trees and trubs. To go through such a distance
to do that is it's phenomenal, It's accurate. It's so interesting.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
Well, I think it is accurate. I mean, I think
if they've found, if they've found the place the rock
comes from, then it must have come from there. Right,
it's six tons?

Speaker 16 (57:29):
Six times?

Speaker 2 (57:29):
What's something that that we could compare that ton is
an extremely good.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
That's an extremely good question. Can when's your whips? Where
does your podcast start? What ways?

Speaker 9 (57:40):
What? Like?

Speaker 3 (57:41):
It's normally elephants or cars? Is it what weigs? Six tons?

Speaker 23 (57:45):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
I'm driving my vehicle right now with the hands free,
by the way, so everything's tickety b.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
I've googled the measure of things, right, and it says
how heavy is six tons? And the first thing comes
up is the weight of an African bush elephant is
six point one tons.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Okay, So so I mean it's you know, somewhat ear
quotes realistic if you will. I mean, I guess humans
banded together could could achieve six tons, you know, moving
that although it's denser than an elephant.

Speaker 10 (58:24):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Yeah, you'd imagine it would be being starting, it would
be like maybe I'm imagining like the size of a
you know, like a small suv or something like that,
but yeah, it's like a van, like a like a
big mini.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
Or something like that.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah, but really something that's still it's so fascinating to think,
like five thousand years ago, when you know, we kind
of have this picture of where we imagine humans to
have been and where our ancestors were and what they
were doing, and just to imagine them going through the
labor of achieving that is quite quite extraordinary.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
What's interesting about the article just quickly read it. They
say whether it came by boat or by start boat
or by land. They reckon if you took it by boat,
no one would see it, because I think very much
part of the journey is as they dragged them As
they dragged the rock down, it's almost a bit like
a pr exercise. Everyone gets quite excited about this project
and sees it and becomes more aware of Stone Hinge

(59:18):
because they see that rock going through their village. So
people engage as it traveled south.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
True, but like who obviously they see it happening and
potentially interrupt the process. But at the same time, how
many people back then would have had the resources of
them motivated from the civilian population to be like, we're
going to follow the stone to wherever it?

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Well, no, I think, I think you're going about your
time on the land. And suddenly these one hundred people
dragging thee what's that? I've never seen the thing? Like,
what were you taking that?

Speaker 16 (59:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (59:47):
We go to or off the Stonehenge and then they
starting well, well you know, and the word gets around and.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
True pot plot twist, Marcus. Maybe they employed the the
skills of a African elephant to toe. It's a good
poe stone. Who knows what did?

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
What did they how?

Speaker 8 (01:00:11):
How?

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
What year were talking?

Speaker 16 (01:00:12):
Calm uh?

Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
Five thousand years ago, wasn't it?

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
What did they have in England?

Speaker 7 (01:00:18):
Then?

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
I know, catapults? No, what animals.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
With?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
I literally have no idea. I literally have no idea.
So maybe ox and bison, antelope, cattle balls. Yeah, I
don't think they would have had an alphone unless it
was in some form of strange zoo or something like

(01:00:47):
that back then. But five thousand years I mean, we're
starting into the weeds there of you know, where we
believe civilization was at with regards to technology at that point.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
For sure, but this was interesting to me. I'm not
that interest in Stonehinge until you start talking about how
they managed to motivate people to move these great rocks.
I mean, because you need to. You've got to be
you got to be a real pr guy to say, Hey,
who's who's with me? We're going to go up to
Scotland and grab this giant rock. It's going to take
five years.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Yeah's key exactly have you heard of? Go Beckley Tipping,
Marcus and Turkey, Go Beckley Tippy. I don't want to
get off topic, but it's a very interesting place if
you haven't, if you're not aware of it. It's the
oldest megalithic site that they've found on Earth. It's older
than the Multi Stones, which are believed to be the

(01:01:34):
oldest megalithic structures on Earth. Prior to the discovery of
Go Becley Tippy, I believe in the sixties or seventies
and there it's been the clearer UNESCO World Heritage like
past decade and it's it's truly fascinating that they've dated
it to around anywhere from ten and a half to
around twelve and a half thousand years old, and it

(01:01:55):
was covered up. It's worth looking into Beckley.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
I don't want to fire hose you can, but I
think we'll talk back. It's probably best to just stick
with the one top rather than chucking something else in there,
because cheapest creepers. That's my night gone flip. I've never
thought about that, but that's probably the way to unite
a country is to get them behind a project.

Speaker 10 (01:02:16):
They do.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Say with the pyramid, it was only managed to do
it because they because the efficiency of the nile, they
manage to have a surplus. And once a country produced
as suplus of goods, what do you do with that?
Because it can be we can build a pyramid. It's
a country motivated. They find things to do with their

(01:02:37):
spare time. They spare money, and probably the same thing
with Stonehenge. We're going to go to the north of
Scotland and get this rock. Wow, you want to be
excited about that. If you think the opening of Transmission
Gully was exciting, boy, imagine the old days and they
find this giant rock and move it down the country. Marcus.

(01:03:02):
The national animals might be a hint. Scotland is the unicorn,
Wales is the dragon, England as the lion, I forget
what islands as a good point, Marcus, it may have
taken a century to move the rock from Scotland to Stonehenge. Marcus,

(01:03:24):
I want to talk on sacred geometry and lay lines.
Apparently they are everywhere in New Zealand. They are of
similar interest. The small lake above Lake Katamajuana was one gine.
You can talk about whatever you want, Marcus. Have there
be any crop circles recently and now they connect to Stonehenge.

(01:03:45):
I think they're different things anyway, Marcus. There are lay
lines out of Kaikoda at the large cafe restaurant on
the right on the coast when you start to the

(01:04:06):
Hilton North. Supposedly lay lines travel that all crossed across
the planet. I think they're garbage, but anyway, Marcus, lay
lines are similar in concept to feng shui energy. Traveling

(01:04:28):
in certain lines and building structures to take advantage places
with slow moving water is bad for feng Shui. I
can't physically be in Dargable without feeling disoriented. Wow, goodness,
slow water, slow slow water. Thanks for the shot of

(01:04:50):
the nice old radio Cameron. Good evening, Marcus. My wife
and I have added a new vintage radio to a collection,
bringing the total to two. It was made in nineteen
thirty six by STC and Sydney had a blonde veilve
I waked a new one under day and boom it works.
Looked like you can imagined four knobs. That's it. Go

(01:05:13):
you with your big radio. But yes, Stonehenge and Eden
Park all about Stonehenge and the pyramids in Eden Park
and the fact that the Stonehenge rock came from northern Scotland,

(01:05:37):
so Neolithic people moved six ton of rock the length
of Britain. Yeah, it's pretty extraordinary. I don't know what
you want to say. I don't know if you've been
to Stonehenge that did it?

Speaker 11 (01:05:53):
Did it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
Did it spin your wheels? You might want to mention
that eight hundred eighty nine nine two to text. You've
always got to work out about politicizing Stonehenge as well,
to be some sort of people trying to go back

(01:06:14):
to times when Britain was great, but they reckon the stones.
Chemical composition suggests that sources not Wales, but rather the
Acadian basin in Scotland. And why did they think that
stone was so special that they had transport at four
hundred and fifty miles, and the distance between the basin

(01:06:39):
and Stonehenge implies the stones transport required advanced methods and
a complex level of social organization. I mean good for documentaries, yeah, Marcus,

(01:07:00):
just hearing the news about Stonehenge. Did the science does
have any idea of the land at the time to rock?
Has mood was covered in ice? Could have slid? I
think they know about that. How did I know that
particular stone was in Scotland in the first place? Marcus,
here's a quiz for listeners, which, oh, this is a

(01:07:21):
great question. Which crowded House sold was playing in the
background in the street car's office on Coronation tonight. It's
a great question. I didn't watch, Corey, I don't watch it,
but you might have some advice about that. So if
they're transporting that rock by road or by path, because

(01:07:44):
you're gonna have to roll it on logs, aren't you?
Or would they have a cart with wheels that wouldn't
be strong enough what you could bearings. So if you're
rolling on logs, how are you making the logs? You
need a big supply of them, and who's carrying the
logs through the areas you haven't got logs. Will you
take it by boat? Wouldn't you? And what if for

(01:08:07):
halfway on the trip the someone that you know of
the rock cracked yet to go get another one. It's
a good story if someone sees that what happened if
the rock broke during transit, it could have been much larger. Anyway,

(01:08:30):
if you want to talk about that, I'm up for that.
We're talking Stone Hinge and those rock circles in the UK,
there's a lot of them. I don't know much about
why people would do that, but you know, said without
judgment because basically, for any civilization, it's good to have people.

(01:08:50):
It's good for people to have something to do, and
that's all about leadership, isn't it. So yeah, there's all
sorts of things about that. But now they've found that
they've it was a Scottish It was a guy from
a Welsh a diversity that they found fragments of the
center altar rock because you can't take samples off it,
but they found rocks that were take bits that have

(01:09:12):
been chipped off it from the eighteen hundreds and they
put them in the computer and worked out where the
rock was from, and they found out it's from Scotland,
right from the tipity top of Scotland, so it's a
long way to bring a six ton rock. What you
need to do now is get a group of people
to try and recreate that journey. Be a good reality

(01:09:35):
TV show just using the tools of the time, which
perhaps was a wheel and candlewax. I don't know what
else would be there. So we're talking Stonehenge and Eden
Park concerts. That's the show tonight. I went to Stonehenge
twice with the British Ramblers and felt freeconnected to the

(01:09:56):
place when lying on a low stone, which I think
was one that had fallen over, not the older stone.
The next time we went there had all been fenced off. Yes,
I think the druids and the Druids.

Speaker 16 (01:10:06):
And the.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Ferals used to hang out there a bit. By the way,
This Saturday marks three years since the start of the
country's longest COVID lockdown, the one that lasted almost four months.
New Zealand plays Argentina the Saturday and Auckland at seven
five live commentary on Newtbooks It'd be an Ihart Radio
That's happening and and thirty five days to New Zealand's

(01:10:32):
total eclipse. This is also the day of nineteen sixty
nine that Woodstock started, and this day in nineteen fourteen
the Panama Canal opened ten years to build. One hundred
thousands died from malaria and the lines are available to

(01:10:55):
hear from you. Oh, by the way, the woman from
the notebook has died. No Surpriseous ninety four more discussion
on how to stack a dishwasher. I don't know why
you need to explain that, the do's and the don'ts.

(01:11:24):
I think it's pret stand, isn't it where everything goes.
It's amazing the things that will fit in there the
dishwasher like motorbike rioms. Yeah, they are saying empty the
bottom racked first, so waters are the items and the

(01:11:46):
top don't drip down and your clean dishes. But need
your calls now ten past ten. By the way, speaking
of ten, Melbourne are up over Penworth ten. Now that's
a surprise. In the opening stands they look for every
good Penrith, but two soft tries from broken place from

(01:12:06):
Melbourne and Bob's your uncle. But let's hear from you
the bands you want to see? Eden Park and theories
on Stone hinge and lay lines and anything else. People
are saying that everything about Stone Hinge Points were well

(01:12:28):
organized and at least on special occasions, peaceful society across
the whole island. So yeah, I think I could have
get into that, and I've never felt that yearning. Oh
by the way, it's sandstone, it's not granite. I think
I knew that. There's often people that on the internet

(01:12:53):
that have built them in their backyards and show lifting techniques.
Hayden Marcus, good.

Speaker 18 (01:13:01):
Evening, and welcome evening back, and so are you good.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
Hat and how's yourself?

Speaker 2 (01:13:08):
All right?

Speaker 18 (01:13:08):
Thank you very much, thanks for asking my pleasure. So
I'd love to talk to everybody about the dishwasher thing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:17):
Golden rule.

Speaker 18 (01:13:19):
Yeah, so there's several that can help everybody with their
dishwasher running that I know of. And the first one
is you only need to use like half a teaspoon
of powder, what they say, and all the mentels and
everything and loading the whole thing up to the brim,

(01:13:41):
it's all rubbish. You only need a fraction of a teaspoon.
That's all I you is every day.

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
So people are overpowdering.

Speaker 18 (01:13:48):
Absolutely and it's for the environment, and they're wasting in
the money, and it's not necessary and it leads additional
slippiness on the dishes. If the thing's not able, to
wash it off by the end of the cycle.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Good point.

Speaker 18 (01:14:02):
And also just to open it a couple of inches
at the end of running it. Once you run your
dishwasher cycle, it just opened it a couple of inches
to allow all the air out and stand and it
helps the dishes dry. And you don't even need to
use rins ade.

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
What is rinsade.

Speaker 18 (01:14:26):
It's like the it's a chemical additive that you add
to the dishwasher that you have them, and it helps
it the dishes dry and for the steam to evaporate.
If it's completely unnecessary.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
You've got any golden rules about how you stick it there? Hayden, Oh,
just yes, I do.

Speaker 18 (01:14:49):
The rotors you can spin them to test them to
step for that hit anything. A lot of people will
notice that it's perfectly fine to spin the rotors. Just
just test it before you start the cycle, the bottom
one and the top one usually and the hit any dish.
Then you're to move the dish away from the rotors

(01:15:12):
and then it will run much better.

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
What make if you got Hayden.

Speaker 18 (01:15:18):
I run a Panasonic that was one of the first
first models that they made, and that sort of just
recently got into the dishwasher game. I quite like Panasonic products.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
I'd like to visualize the Panasonic. I don't think I've
seen one of those, mind you, I wouldn't know what
our brand was. If running a dishwasher recently, I wouldn't
know what it was. Seems fairly good, okay, yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:15:45):
Is it a pull out draw one or a double stacker.

Speaker 3 (01:15:49):
I don't know. It's a double stacker, I think.

Speaker 11 (01:15:51):
Yeah, Oh okay, Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:15:54):
I've got the stainless steel model with the brush stainless
steel finish. Yeah, it was one of their first model,
was probably about three years old. It's had no problems. Good,
good machine.

Speaker 6 (01:16:06):
Blocked.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
I dive quite I had to dive quite far out
of the manual to one unplug it. Yeah, the tea,
the tunes of stuff I had to get back into that.
It's quite interesting.

Speaker 11 (01:16:19):
Oh okay.

Speaker 16 (01:16:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:16:20):
And also with the drain plugs that with the drain hoses,
they can get cracks in them as well. Now the yeah,
like when people push them into place when they install them.
If you're just a bump into the cupboard or something
can leak, just a small leak, and then over time
people can have problems, yeah with them leaking and causing

(01:16:41):
all sorts of problems with the smell and the and yeah,
they won't notice it for a while, but when they're
do it is it's going to be very careful relation
with the brittleness and fredileness of the hoses, the hoses
in them.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
Good advice. Thanks Hayen. I appreciate that penwith scored ten
to four. Kick to come, Mary Marcus welcome.

Speaker 7 (01:17:05):
Yeah, hi Marcus for the dishwasher stories. I used to
work in a fifty ber rotary cow shed. They had
quite an extravagant kitchen and dishwasher system, and we used
to wash the coffee cups in the dishwasher. But also
once a year or twice a year actually, we'd take
all the inflations the cup liners out and we put

(01:17:28):
all the fifty times for whatever that is, shells of
the cups in and just wash them and dishwasher well
handled at sweet ass, I was surprised.

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
So do the cups? Do the cups have liners?

Speaker 7 (01:17:45):
Yes, they have liners, which is like a black thing.
Sometimes you'll see on farmers fishing boats. They have their
cup liners for their rod holders, which is because you
literally have thousands of liners every year from every theory farm.
So you try and think of some ways to reuse, recycle,

(01:18:05):
and they provide.

Speaker 3 (01:18:06):
They provide the tight section today.

Speaker 7 (01:18:09):
Yes, and if you put them in a standless steel
tube like a rod holder, that locks the riding really good.
So if you go in some big waves, your rods
won't running around to fall out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
How much would you pay for a teeth cup liner?

Speaker 7 (01:18:26):
I think per set of boards like ten or twelve
dollars for a couple of bucks each.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
And when you know that, do you replace them all
at once or do you know when they're all gone bad?

Speaker 7 (01:18:37):
They have a limit of milkings and you replace them
after that. So if you're a one today farmer will
be once a year, but most farms are twice a year,
and the ones with small cow sheds three three times
a year with your long five hour milkings, so.

Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
You don't try and extend it. You just take time.
He just comes up on the calendar. Replace the teats.

Speaker 7 (01:18:58):
If you extend them, the crack and you don't want
to go into the ear system, because there's the ear
stem which doesn't get washed, and there's the pipe system
which will the milk goes through that gets washed a lot. Yeah,
you don't want milk in your ear system.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
If your dairy farmer, how often you have to doll
the head biscuit to come and fix your machinery or
the equipment it does it?

Speaker 7 (01:19:22):
They get service once a year, and if it's a
reliable old hearing barn, hardly ever, and you kind of
know after twenty years what breaks. And if it's a
flash hairy sixty dollars rodary with computers everywhere, and they
can get happy quite often.

Speaker 3 (01:19:41):
Yeah, so you're quite off. It will break down. You've
got to call some of an emergency and there'll be
a couple of hours in the in the cow hanging around.

Speaker 7 (01:19:50):
Oh yeah, Yeah, you've got to make the call whether
to leave the cows on or send them out to
a panic somewhere that you haven't quite that properly for
a rest and then hopefully it starts up again.

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
Yeah, and how far aways? How far away is the fixer?

Speaker 7 (01:20:05):
Oh, for us our ones and potatoes, that's like fifteen
minutes away. But I've got to come away from their
fishing or whatever they're doing, forward driving, fixing their masters
and then and then they come. It will take half
an hour.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
What's that person called.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
It's called.

Speaker 7 (01:20:25):
Well South Whiteado farm services. They're called an engineer okay,
well fitter turner, but with to do with water and
vacuum rather than.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
So it'd be a good business to have because you'd
be absolutely seat. You wouldn't, you'd be needed, you'd be
straight out.

Speaker 7 (01:20:43):
And each brand has their own one in each town.
So Delaval has one, White Kadow has one, mill Floss
has one.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Now all these things, see these trucks all around, all
these things like Dela val what are they are? They
did not?

Speaker 7 (01:20:58):
Yeah, yeah, so they they built cow shed fitters and
a deal of our or white.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
So then you go, so you go to the person
that's from that company that it's all these the cups
in the whole system.

Speaker 11 (01:21:12):
So you go and get Okay, it's.

Speaker 7 (01:21:15):
Real important to get the right rubber. We had to
fit your cups because they're not not all the same. Yeah. Anyway,
and anyway, just wash as you can use them for
washing your calcium cups and a large it is.

Speaker 3 (01:21:28):
It advised to because you want wow.

Speaker 7 (01:21:33):
I think in a sort of industrial kitchen situation. Yeah,
but if if you've got your brand new Bosh twelve
twelve step with with the come around with the wine glasses, probably.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Thought of you sort of putting helium in your mountain
bike ties yet Ah No, I'm.

Speaker 7 (01:21:52):
I'm running tube Bliss. But I just spun a tie
around today and I can hear the balls of Tube
boss Ceilant rowling around like little gremlins in there, So
I don't know that's all cracked up.

Speaker 3 (01:22:03):
Get some helium in there. Twenty one past ten. My
name is Marcus. Welcome. We've had a good conversation. I've
always been kind of interested in dairy sheds. What a
headache that would be, Marcus. I have one of those
brand new houses that come with a dishwash that they've
been used. I'm old school, have done dishes by hand
all my life. Even my kids don't use it. I
think it's a waste of water. Nothing wrong with some

(01:22:25):
dish soap and manpower. Elisa Marcus is also the Stone
Circle in Avebury, which is twenty three miles away from
stone Hinge, and it's taught to be about two hundred
years older. I've been to both. They are both astonishing.
By the way, obviously thanks for the texture. It's nitra,
it's helium, it's natuely not helium in the tars. I
made a mistake there with my inert guesses. Are they inert?

(01:22:48):
What do all these crop? Not crop, circle, stone circus?
What are they about? You might have a theory on these.
But now the Middle Rock, the Altar Rock, I don't
know if they sacrifice people what they did on those.
They came all the way from Scotland. It's kind of

(01:23:08):
surprising there's not more stuff written about what happened then
and there on vella or something. Anyway, I suppose the
limit how long documents can last. Twenty five past ten,
need your calls down. Also the dishwasher. Interesting things you've
done with the dishwasher. Yes, I've never seen those things

(01:23:29):
on boats, or maybe I have. If we're looking out
for those green caps on tires that show they have
got nitrogen. Didn't see any of those today, but that
would be of interest to people. Twenty six past ten.
If there is other stuff, I'm up for it. Get

(01:23:50):
amongst it. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
nine two nine two to text I'm here till twelve tonight.
Love you to hear from you. Get in touch whatever's good.

(01:24:13):
I'm here for you. Yeah, now get in touch. Eight
hundred eighty ten eighty US Ballerinas jailed for twelve years
in Russia for donating fifty one dollars to Ukrainian charity.

(01:24:37):
It's pretty grim, isn't it, Alice. It's Marcus.

Speaker 24 (01:24:40):
Good evening, Yes, good eavening, Marcus, thank you for taking
my call. I would like to speak about Stonehenge. Previously
Stonehenge had been privately owned. It was on farmland there
on the Salisbury Plane and then around the nineteen sixties

(01:25:06):
put up for auction and it was sold for six
thousand and six hundred pound In nineteen eighteen. The man
who bought it, mister Cecil H. E. Chubb, donated it
to the country and when it comes under the National

(01:25:28):
Trust as now, and so that's all I'd like to say.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
I really appreciate that, Alice. I've seen old shots of
it seemed to be in disrepute, and I like the
way it is now. Trevor, Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 22 (01:25:42):
Here, good evening, going for hand.

Speaker 18 (01:25:48):
How they those don't.

Speaker 3 (01:25:51):
I've seen sort of shows about it that show them
on logs? I think, is that right?

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:25:57):
I couldn't believe it that they've only just worked there.
It was twenty sixteen. I saw it on the other
night on TV on how did they do it? And
it was a skull I was doing research and he
got all his mates at school and they worked out
if you you know, like you thought, oh, you put
a bunch of logs down and roll the stones on it,

(01:26:18):
but they actually put the logs down and then they
put the doones on skids on top of the logs
and they able to shift it quite easily. But if
you google, because twenty sixteen the scholar how they move
stone dones of stone energy?

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
He nailed it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
But you know, you know the new news today, have
he crossed that? Trevor?

Speaker 22 (01:26:40):
That's that one mate from up Scotland.

Speaker 3 (01:26:43):
Yeah, so that's that's come a long way. That's hundreds
of miles. It's a long long way to come. So
I don't know how you'd know how long that would
take or how you get the people motivated to do that. Yeah,
are you going to devote fifty years of your short
life to moving a rock?

Speaker 5 (01:27:01):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:27:01):
I know, I know but the cowshed one was just
come from the cow shed. Actually that was quite a
Probably get in trouble with the missis if I actually
stuck all my inflations in the dishwasher.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
But no, it was quite good.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
Are you and have viewers come from the cowshied now forever?

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:27:17):
Yeah, no, I'm just sitting the minute now, so just
like count with you sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Oh nice talking to real people do real jobs. Thank
you for your service people. Nothing happening internationally in the
news apart from the Russian that's been jailed for twelve
years for giving fifty dollars to the Ukraine war effort
seems harsh, and no other breaking news. It says that

(01:27:43):
Donald Trump allies fear his sabotaging as presidential campaign since
Biden dropped out of the race in mid worries he
has PTSD after assassination attempt. Maybe he's not handling that
as well as people fought. How would you know how
will he's handling it? Coming from an odd bass. But ye,

(01:28:06):
that's what we're on about tonight. I wait hundred eighty taddy,
my name is Marcus, Welcome, get in touch het Tel twelve.
If there is something different you want to talk about.
I'm up for that, and then for that do get
in touch Hettel twelve o'clock tonight.

Speaker 24 (01:28:20):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
I like the story about the person that redesigned the
London underground map. That was a good one. Get a
look on that if you can. It's more circular than
the straight kind of one. And what about ex l
bully CAATs. We've got those in his inland yet cheap
as Wow, they're like a sharp pay of the cat world. Anyway, dB,

(01:28:48):
it's Marcus, welcome, Good evening.

Speaker 16 (01:28:50):
Good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:28:51):
Lay lines, Yeah, I watched an excellent YouTube presentation by
a mathematician on lay life. It was there a set
of lay lines overlaid over the British tiles. There was
both geometrically accurate and beautifully symmetric. And then he pointed

(01:29:13):
out that was based on the location of Woolworth stores.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
I was going to talk about the location of where
of where pigeons flew homing pigeons. Okay, so they could
they say you can choose any arbitrary thing and you
can make it beautiful.

Speaker 19 (01:29:33):
Absolutely there is.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
They're as real as.

Speaker 19 (01:29:38):
I can't think of a quick similar Sorry about that.

Speaker 3 (01:29:42):
Actually, actually lay lines. Are there lines that go through
all ancient worship sites? Is that the kind of the
pop theory of it?

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
That's where it started?

Speaker 19 (01:29:51):
Yes, and yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
They're kind of reverse engineering something, aren't they thinking? Oh,
hang on, we put the line between there and there.
What's that about? There's a big picture? Yeah, okay, yeah,
simple as that. Okay, appreciate it. What's what's the what's
it called DV out of interest?

Speaker 19 (01:30:10):
What's what called?

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
The documentary?

Speaker 25 (01:30:13):
You saw?

Speaker 14 (01:30:15):
That was.

Speaker 19 (01:30:17):
Stand Up Maths by Matthew Parker and it's a it's
more of mathematics podcast. But because I'm into that sort
of rubbish, as you may have noticed, it's very interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:30:32):
Might give it a look myself, DBI, thank you for that.
And it's Marcus along.

Speaker 13 (01:30:35):
Good evening, hy Marcus.

Speaker 20 (01:30:38):
I spent a bit of time over there and in
South Wales. It was explained to me they the vertical stones,
they stand them up and then they saw the dort
up right to the top, and then they dragged the bone,
that horizontal one across the top and balanced it and

(01:31:01):
then they did the do it away again.

Speaker 3 (01:31:03):
Makes sense when you think of it, doesn't it.

Speaker 20 (01:31:06):
Year it was quite simple and when I was in Ealing.
I went to the library and it's absolutely amazing that
the information they've got on the history, and there was
some information there that they used to harness memos and
drag these things around. And underneath the Ealing railway line

(01:31:28):
there is a memoth still there. They didn't dig it
out because it would have made the railway line spongy,
but that was an area that was pretty ancient with
those guys that did that sort of stuff. So I
was wondering if you could get online and find information
from the libraries over there, because they've got it all

(01:31:50):
really interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:31:50):
And thanks because it makes a lot of sense when
you're talk about ramps and filling it up. Appreciate that
and thank you. Always take the weather with you was
the crowded house song on Corey Ocean Street, The storm
will win by twelve eight points Marcus seventy nine years
ago on the fifteenth of August nineteen forty five, piece

(01:32:13):
was declared. Did you realize how many others remembered Marcus
any update on the stranded astronauts on the Boeing star Liner.
I remember the old saying that if it's not Boeing,
I'm not going tell that to the astronauts. John AT's Marcus,

(01:32:36):
good evening and welcome Hi Marcus.

Speaker 21 (01:32:39):
I just wanted to say that about visiting Stonehenge. It
was way back in nineteen sixty four and a group
of Army contingent we went over to England to do
goad at Bussingham Palace and Town London, and then we
were based out on the Solitary Plains and the group

(01:33:00):
of us got a chance to go and visit Stone
Hinge and are always quinn now when I look at it,
because when we went there, it was just sitting in
a paddock.

Speaker 19 (01:33:11):
Wow.

Speaker 21 (01:33:11):
We drove up a little dirt track and there was
as far as an old caravan that had shottles on
it and was shut down for the winter because it
was no Vember. And they said the people that took
said that it was open for coffees and things in
the summer time, and that was the only thing that
was there. And then we just got out of our

(01:33:32):
van and walked through the long grass and the paddic
and you know, climbed down on the rocks and stones
and took it all in and then left. And now
when I look at it, and I see all these
concret paths running around it, and it's all beautiful and
laid out and manicured and yeah, and I often green
and I think, gee, we would just walk through a

(01:33:52):
care paddic to look at it, and it was it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
Like full of rubbish? And were they spray painted? And
was it like I is it the report I heard?

Speaker 21 (01:34:01):
No, it wasn't there. But there wasn't any graffiti or
anything like that on at that stage anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:34:06):
Okay, And what you what year was that? John? That's
the seventies?

Speaker 21 (01:34:09):
Is it sixty four?

Speaker 3 (01:34:12):
Sixty four? Okay?

Speaker 21 (01:34:14):
Sixty years ago?

Speaker 3 (01:34:16):
And have they put it back together since then? Or
when you look at it the stones in the site,
have they re kind of assembled it since you saw it?

Speaker 12 (01:34:26):
No?

Speaker 21 (01:34:26):
No, no, nothing's been. Nothing's been reassembled as just as
it was at that time, except that, of course the
grass is all cleaned up and mode and around the
stones in these days, and concrete bars to walk on
and parking area for coaches and all that, whereas when
we drove up a farmer's track and just walked.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
But it must have already been slightly famous if you
knew about it, and you to go and visit it.

Speaker 21 (01:34:53):
There right, yes, yeah, okay, and there was there was
like this old caravan which was shut it up for
the winter, and the guys the only guys that took us.
They said that, you know, during the summer that token
and you can get a coffee in. But there was
nothing else, nothing at all. And it sounds from a
lot that lady was saying before about that being privately

(01:35:18):
owned and just sitting in a paddic. And it must
have been shortly after that period of sixty four that
they started to develop the site, you know as a
tourist place, old with an engine.

Speaker 3 (01:35:30):
And I think that the motorway went quite goes quite
close to it now also, that's what I've heard.

Speaker 21 (01:35:37):
Yes it does, it's not. The main road is not
very far away from it, okay, yes, yes, no, because
nowadays when you sometimes see pictures of Stone Hindus, you
can see vehicles going by in the distance, not far away.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
Yeah okay, I thought so too, John. Nice to hear
from you, Laureate's Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (01:36:00):
Yeah, Marcus, that news about the Scottish rock. It was
about seven hundred kilometers they reckon the distance to move
it down. It's quite incredible. It's a bit like like
the other guy.

Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
I was.

Speaker 12 (01:36:19):
Going past Stonehengine or about nineteen sixty eight, we stopped
him for a rock with a real sort of murky,
foggy sort of day, and you could just go up
to a bit of a gravel car park and wander
around and through the long grass and through the mischig
and see all the very great rocks. But there's hardly
any development at all in those days.

Speaker 11 (01:36:40):
It sort of did.

Speaker 3 (01:36:42):
You climb on top of it, on top of them, Lauria, No.

Speaker 12 (01:36:45):
It didn't. It was sort of as it was a foggy, damp,
cold this is winter time.

Speaker 3 (01:36:52):
Bleak.

Speaker 12 (01:36:54):
Yeah, it was bleak.

Speaker 22 (01:36:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:36:55):
We were working surveying down in Somerset on a the
old Air Force bases here and the Ovalton. We should
work down there for we could do it time and
then come back to London. And it was on the
I think was the A three O three. Was the
sort of highway that.

Speaker 16 (01:37:12):
You can pass and.

Speaker 12 (01:37:15):
Just see here. You could see it, yeah, and it was.
It didn't really appreciate it at the time, I mean
probably I went with traveling about probably four or five
months before i'd been down South America and crew and
also you know much appeachu and all the great sort

(01:37:38):
of rock marvels that were down that way, and by
by comparison with that's that stage Stoneheinge. You know, it
was pretty seemed pretty ordinary. But you know, when you know,
I don't really didn't really appreciate the time, the astronomic course,
the significance of that, the of the whole Hinge system.

(01:38:03):
It's one of the things other things I kept meaning
to do is go and visit the one down you know,
the Stonehenge sort of the wire wrapper seems good.

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
That seems like a really good educational thing. That the
guys built a replica, hasn't he and he explained astronomy
through it.

Speaker 12 (01:38:18):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's not trying to replicate the
Stonehenge itself, but the whole idea of the observatory, the
astronomical significance. Yeah, the whole society, you know, that's should
be well worth a visit.

Speaker 9 (01:38:31):
That.

Speaker 12 (01:38:32):
I think it's, you know, more of the summer time.
I think they focus on it, and I think they're
getting sort of dark sky sort of classification down there,
and a few other things here.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
But you car did you carve your name in one
of the rocks Lorry, No, I didn't. Why not if
the rock six thousand and six ton? How many people that?
How many people to take to carry that?

Speaker 12 (01:39:00):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:39:01):
Truth?

Speaker 12 (01:39:02):
What did you say? Your whole idea of moving it
or digging remps, en rolling it on.

Speaker 6 (01:39:10):
Trees?

Speaker 12 (01:39:10):
I suppose a roller type system. It would in levers,
that would Yeah. I seen, you know if you you
say the odd TV special where you see they try
to recreate.

Speaker 3 (01:39:22):
And they're always brand new evidence. You know, Oh that's
on yeah until the next time.

Speaker 12 (01:39:28):
Yeah, yeah, I heard that the archaeologist guy that is
apparently the Welsh were very disappointed that the that that
older stone hadn't come from there.

Speaker 3 (01:39:38):
There was the guy, the guy as well, she'd been
there with his dad at a one year old. He
saw that, and then he's got to prove that it
didn't come from there.

Speaker 12 (01:39:45):
Yeah, and then hadn't he disappeared after he did the
work and then he went off to Australia's working.

Speaker 3 (01:39:51):
And yes, where the money would be in the oil? Yep,
you go.

Speaker 12 (01:39:55):
No, the old Eden Park thing. My preferences would be
Willie Nelson, but I don't know. I think fill Eden
Park these days he probably will I don't know that
he would.

Speaker 3 (01:40:07):
It mean he is in his nineties.

Speaker 12 (01:40:08):
Yeah, under perhaps he brought Dolly Parton along.

Speaker 3 (01:40:13):
I think it could be quite good. I think that
could be quite good. But yeah, I've got they were
there with the I saw him with the highwayman at
Mount Smart with Johnny Cash and Chris Christopherson and went
and that was pret good. Oh it was good. But yeah,
get them together. Okay, I'll be run, Laurie. But nice
to hear from you. Thank you, good evening, Jan, love
you to talk to you on this fine evening.

Speaker 26 (01:40:35):
Oh same to you.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
You spin the wheels, Jan?

Speaker 26 (01:40:42):
Is it a fine evening? I suppose it is.

Speaker 3 (01:40:44):
It's quite what it is where I am. Yeah, I'm
just making I'm just making small talk. It's kind of
bedside man to make the callers feel welcome. We get
told of these.

Speaker 6 (01:40:53):
Techniques for them.

Speaker 26 (01:40:55):
It's good. Now have you heard about the dinosaur bone
that was discovered, I think underneath the Oxford Universe in England?
Did you hear about that?

Speaker 3 (01:41:10):
Does it just happened recently?

Speaker 26 (01:41:13):
Fairly recently? Yeah? I think it was the Oxford University.
It was built in eleven hundred, so very very old
and some man was down in the bottom in the basement,
digging underneath it, and I think he found this great,

(01:41:34):
big bone. And initially what did he think it was?
I remember, but it was a huge, great, big like
a thigh bone. And then he found other bones and
they tested it and discovered it was like the bigfoot
dinosaur bone whatever. I don't know about dinosaurs. But anyway,

(01:41:58):
had it been in there all that time, that built
this university on top of it eleven hundred so and
I thought, gosh, I wonder how their electrical wiring is.
It's on everything in that place. They're plumbing and all that.
But anyway, and when you were talking about Stone Hinge,

(01:42:20):
it brought back the memory of tests of the durbibles.
Do you remember that?

Speaker 3 (01:42:27):
Very vaguely? I think there was a there was a
TV adoption. Yeah, was that set in stone Hinge?

Speaker 26 (01:42:33):
Yeah, Well, towards the end when they caught her after
she'd murdered her husband, she was on the front, Yeah,
and they stopped there at stone Hinge and she didn't
want to go on to Ireland to hide. She said, no,

(01:42:54):
it's my time's up. And they embraced. It was very romantic,
and then they caught them.

Speaker 3 (01:43:02):
And she sleeps. She actually sleeps on that stone, doesn't
she She sleeps on the altar. Yes, it's very interesting,
I am ready, she says.

Speaker 26 (01:43:11):
Yeah, it was very sad. I think I cried.

Speaker 3 (01:43:16):
They always they were always depressing, those movies of English books.
That sounds just God forsake and tea theobivolts. I'd like
to see that tonight.

Speaker 26 (01:43:24):
Oh you know, it's a beautiful story all around, really said,
very dramatic.

Speaker 3 (01:43:32):
Oh, good there to go, jan nice to talk to you.
Thank you, Norman as Marcus, welcome, a good evening, Norman.

Speaker 27 (01:43:37):
Yeah, good evening. Then Marcus listening to some of the
people there regarding Stonehenge. I used to live there, I
don't know, about three mile engine, a little place called
lover Stock, which was about three miles from Salisbury too,
and I used to take my crocerspaniel up there, and

(01:44:02):
oh it was about I don't know two three miles
like right, probably, and back in those days the main
London road was one way each way.

Speaker 3 (01:44:13):
Okay, I'm just looking at the geography. Now you're at
lark Hill where you where you said you will no
no love stock O love A stock copy copy yep, okay, yep.

Speaker 27 (01:44:25):
And we used to go up there and bother ourselves
as smoke and COPI help, and my dog probably, I
would say, he's probably pee on every one of those rocks.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
Goodness, for goodness sake, there you go.

Speaker 27 (01:44:44):
Okay, well, so there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:44:47):
I mean.

Speaker 27 (01:44:49):
It wasn't far away, and yeah that's what we did.
So I just thought it was with sort of ring.

Speaker 3 (01:44:56):
And tell what year would have that been.

Speaker 27 (01:45:00):
I would have been close on thirteen twelve or thirteen?

Speaker 6 (01:45:04):

Oh, for goodness sake, okay, yeah, oh well, look, thank
you for bringing up normal. I do appreciate that. All
about stone Hinge, I don't know where he city was
from love Stock. I don't find that on the map.
I can find stone Hinge and lark Hell. It's very

(01:45:28):
close to the A three O three when you look
at on Google Maps. Quite a bit of bus parking
now quite instantly Google Maps. A lot of people they're
wandering around. Not much commercial be hard to get yourself
a bite to wheat. I suppose it's a national trust
for nothing much there at all, actually quite uncommercialized. You

(01:45:56):
probably get your sandwich from lark Hill, would you, I
don't know too much about the geography of the lie
out of England. But yeah, can't we get where he
was from? Lover stock lines free your name on it.
Get in touch twenty to all in the NRL. Marcus,

(01:46:20):

they just managed to work out what rocket was. Marcus.
I reckon one direction Union content easy so Eden Park.
You get the original one direction fans like me plus
all the young Harry Styles fans, rumor and christ is
that one direction going to open the new stadium here? Anna? Wow?

(01:46:45):
Thank you for that. I always like to have rumor
here is. You might have to resend your email. Ste
Trafano can't quite understand that. Just to let you know,
there is a Stonehenge tourist attraction just out of Carttan
and a wided upper. Go to their website which has
all the information. Thank you for I've ever been to

(01:47:08):
the New Zealand Stonehenge. Good evening, Morris, It's Marcus, welcome you,
good things, Morris, good good.

Speaker 14 (01:47:17):
New Zealand does have a site that's the equivalent of Stonehenge.
It's a wooden place, wooden house called the Cross House.
It was burnt down in the sixties nineteen sixties. It's
just the site is east of Bennydale. It's on a
private mary farm station. You can go there by invitation.

(01:47:41):
There is a very good article on it. I think
my married pronunciation is not that good or my memory
is not that good. It's called Tikaraka Taraka Tema Ringer
the Crosshouse, and there's about a thirty page article with
diagrams on it, done by I think it was a

(01:48:01):
Victoria University student doing a PhD. It was done in
the fifties. There is a scale model of the house
in Wellington somewhere, I think. And there are good photographs
of the house in that guy's article. And it was
an astronomical observation teaching school.

Speaker 7 (01:48:22):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (01:48:24):
And it's it's yeah. I've been there twice. I've taken
visitors from New Zealand there twice. It's it's recognized as
one of the world's sacred sites, a kinderstone henge to
Matchipichu to the Aztec Pyramids in Mexico. There's on the
summer stolsicism particular, lots of European travelers and camper vans

(01:48:48):
going Stadia. You're not allowed to camp on the site,
and you're not allowed any fires there, but you can
camp on the exterior. The site's probably about fire acres,
all fenced off, and yeah you can. You can go
there by invitation, someone has to accompany you.

Speaker 8 (01:49:03):
But it's.

Speaker 14 (01:49:06):
But the article is fascinating, but going here is not
so much so because it's just a grass paddict with
the indentations of a couple of the polls from the
house still still in place. But that's worth looking up.

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
That's the real thing and the name of the article.

Speaker 14 (01:49:24):
But you go on the internet, just look at the crosshouse.

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
Yeah, sure I could find that. I found some stuff. Yeah, okay,
Merringa Kakara.

Speaker 6 (01:49:38):
It seems to be.

Speaker 3 (01:49:39):
That seems to be the name of it. So it
was it was burnt down in nineteen eighty three. Was
it still being used as a teacher as a teaching
place then?

Speaker 14 (01:49:53):
And I've been long abandoned.

Speaker 3 (01:49:57):
How did you become interested in it?

Speaker 14 (01:50:01):
What? I grew up in Taranaa and one of my
friends was an agricultural contractor and they did all the
Baylor jump around for that Mary farm station. And I
used to leave my labrador with my friend over different
periods of time. She was an Auckland dog and he was.

(01:50:22):
They put all their agricultural machineries on one side of
the fence for this place, and that's where they had
the depot with their fuel tank and everything else, and
they would go off down the back of the place
with the big machinery. They'd come back to refuel and
have lunch. And my docile labrador dog and one of
my mate's workers had a brown labrador dog that dogs

(01:50:45):
had run free. They'd down the creek, but the sins
they had the vehicles come back to the corral where
the fuel tanker was. They knew that food was going
to be there. The dogs would turn up, and one
day my friend said there was one of the farm
workers came to the fence on the opposite side of
the five acre paddock and he walked across the paddock

(01:51:05):
and we got to the fence where they were all
sitting around having their cups of tea. These two dogs
were berserk. They were snarling tea bed so we had
to tie them up to the fence.

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
And it was and it was built on the shape
of a cross, and that was to do with to
do with the summer and winter solstice?

Speaker 19 (01:51:26):
Was that?

Speaker 3 (01:51:26):
Would that be correct? They lined up?

Speaker 14 (01:51:28):
Did they alignment in each direction? Here? And if you
look at the article, that's got a very good series
of diagrams and they're all colored showing all the crosses
with internal and external to the building. The diagram, the
diagrams that are attached to that article. That's fascinating.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
Really appreciate you coming through, Marris, Thank you very much.
That just coming out. How many how many thursdays left
in August? Maybe two more after this? It's of interest
to me. Have you got anything to add If you're
doing something interesting now, if you're driving, if you're loading
the dishwasher, if you are planning a trip to a

(01:52:12):
concert in eden Park, Yeah, I reckon Eden Park. A
lot of scutched about it, but basically no, but they're
going to fill up with twelve concerts. You No one
wants to play fifty thousand people in the round. Everyone's
happy with Victor works, so well, that's the thing. And
of course the trains don't work. Oh no, you don't
want to go to a state. You don't want to

(01:52:33):
go to eden Park for a concert. Anyway, That's what
I'm on about what they want is a baseball game.
They get two great baseball teams over here, they'd fill
it up demonstrate. Would it be big enough?

Speaker 25 (01:52:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
That would be good, it'd be exciting. I know Australia's
had a lot of demonstration baseball games that have sold out.
Why couldn't have one of those. I'd go to that.
I'd go to see that. Any of the teams actually
name your team, that would be that would be the
sporting spect because the allbecks won't fill out, well, they
might don't have people are buying tickets to has Argentina

(01:53:10):
sold out? You good to see Sam Kane? But I
forgot Sam Kine, got send off, got red card and
of course it was the big moment. Why don't remember
the World Cup final? Off? He goes because they went
back too far. They went back to the lineer too
many phases. Good evening, Mike, it's Marcus.

Speaker 28 (01:53:29):
Welcome all right, Yeah, just come to bed and heard
you're talking about. Yeah fifty eight, Me and my mate
we would work at the Formata company, get a fortnight's holiday.

(01:53:51):
We've got on their bikes. We rode up to the
Scottish border, back down the west side of England, Bristol across.
Riding along it was misty, couldn't see anything, not much
and road past Stonehenge there was nothing there, nothing, no one.

Speaker 6 (01:54:10):
Wow. Wow.

Speaker 28 (01:54:12):
We've got off our bikes and walked across the roads
and wandered around these big stones and a little old
car pulled up and a man and a woman the
kids got out and had to wander around. And that
was it now, because I went back there about thirty
or forty years later with an aunt and the daughter

(01:54:35):
and in the car and outside of the road themnt
and the daughter disappeared for half an hour because it's happened,
and thousands of people around cars everywhere, and the difference was,
you know, quite magical, I suppose you could say, because
they're never going to be on their own acin And

(01:54:56):
I do believe I heard someone said they've got a
fence around it.

Speaker 3 (01:54:58):
Now, Yeah, that's interesting, but you knew about it when
you first come across on your motorbikes. It was famous then,
but we.

Speaker 16 (01:55:06):
Were on push bikes.

Speaker 3 (01:55:08):
Push bikes.

Speaker 28 (01:55:09):
Yes, yeah, we'd done sixteen hundred and fifty k in
twelve days Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:55:14):
I think it was what sort of what sort of
pushbike Mike.

Speaker 28 (01:55:18):
Tense speed, yeah, ten speed, and we saved the youth hostels.
I sent postal orders off to every youth hospital and
we just had the ride wherever. It was one hundred
and fifty k a day to get from one to
the next to the next. And I think the last
one might have been Winchester, Bristol, Winchester. And during that

(01:55:44):
last ride Bright and then back to London was where
we went past Stone Hence and.

Speaker 3 (01:55:52):
Could you could you get a good could you get
a good quality touring ten speed in those days? Or
we had to get a racing Were were they quite available?
Italian ones? I suppose? Were they with.

Speaker 28 (01:56:06):
Ten speed?

Speaker 3 (01:56:07):
Like a rally?

Speaker 28 (01:56:09):
Yeah? Yeah, well no, it wasn't a rally. It was
a local crowd, a local bike shop that made bikes
and stuff. And it was quite expensive for the day
and and and then the next day we went to
Europe and went to Giminy and back because we only
had a fortnight's holiday. Then he had to go pretty fast,

(01:56:34):
you know. And we went to Germany the next year
and we did cheatah Pit because the weather was crap.
And then we got on the train and went to
Uxenbergen through the Heilberg and then come back a proximately
the same way.

Speaker 3 (01:56:49):
And yeah, heavy panna bags and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:56:53):
Yeah, just one big bag.

Speaker 28 (01:56:55):
We traveled very late, didn't have much and and it
was lots of things went wrong, you know, but I
could wait on, right, I can run on for hours.
You know how we missed the ferry got about half
an hour I think when we left Dagenham, you know,

(01:57:17):
I lived near Dagenham, and to get to Dover to
get the fairy and then we just come over here.
When we're going down towards Owe, the fairies is pulling away,
and so you wait another four or five hours and
then get to France and it's sort of past six
and then you've got to go about another fifty k

(01:57:38):
of the first you for well, anyway, very interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:57:42):
I love to hear about that, Mike. We'll have to
hear about one night. One night, so we might hear
about your great biking and holidays. Is I'd like that
as a topic. Actually, i'll ever do that tomorrow night.
Not that I afford tease the topic because it's a
bit lame. Robert Marcus, welcome, Yeah, MICUs.

Speaker 25 (01:57:59):
I was born in a place called Wilton, which is
about twelve miles from Amesbury. Yes, and back in the
fifties when I was very very young, my parents used
to take us up the stone Hands on a Sunday
and have a picnic and we used to play soccer
under the under the stones.

Speaker 3 (01:58:19):
It's hard to me to see from Google Maps, is
it kind.

Speaker 4 (01:58:21):
Of is it?

Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
Is it on a hill?

Speaker 25 (01:58:26):
Well, it's on the plane. It's not actually on a hill.
It's around near but I mean, you know you've got
to get up onto the plane. But you know, I
mean we'd go up there on a Sunday afternoon in
our row Morris Ate and put the blank on the
ground and there probably might be about another can or
fifteen families up there, and we just play soccer under

(01:58:46):
the stones and then gather a few stones that were
hanging around and take them home and put them in
the garden.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
So what were the stones? Were the stones bits that
people over the ease and kind of chipped off? Is
it what it was when they don the.

Speaker 25 (01:59:00):
Loose Yeah, the loose stones just hanging around, you know. So,
but it wasn't overly famous except for the locals that
were around there. But it wasn't until the seventies, I
think when it started to get more popular and bus
coaches used to go.

Speaker 8 (01:59:15):
But you know, in the.

Speaker 25 (01:59:19):
Fifties it was just it was stoning, so that was
all that was to it. It was just a load
of stones that we used to go and play around.

Speaker 3 (01:59:27):
Even in those days. Did you have some idea what
its purpose was? What did they what was the idea
that is that it was built for. Do you want
to have any idea?

Speaker 25 (01:59:36):
Well, yes, they sort of did, but I mean, you know,
I was only about six or seven, so you know,
we didn't really care. It was just, you know, we
used them as goals and used to play soccer there,
so we really didn't sort of taking us notice of
the age of them or anything of that nature.

Speaker 3 (01:59:54):
So well, nice story, Robert, Thanks very much there. It's
nice to hear you. That rounds up nicely. People. That's
it for me. I shall go. Melbourne won narrowly, very
very narrowly, very good game, lot of injuries, every close game.
That will be a precursor to the final, the final
that Penrith will win. That's my prediction.

Speaker 28 (02:00:15):
There.
