Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Greetings, Welcome. My name is Marcus. I hope it's good
where you are.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Boy.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
This is the week when it all happens. This is
the week when it all happens Guy Fawkes and the
Melbourne Cup sweep and the election the American president, the
US election or the re election of course too. That's
always on the same day. It's always think it's always
on the first Tuesday, is that right? I think it's

(00:36):
the first Tuesday of November, or might always be on
the fifth of nobor I can't remember which is which. Gosh,
as soon as I started talking, I've realized that I've
come on stuck. Anyway, get in touch. My name is
Marcus eight hundred and eighty Tandy nineteen nine. To text
here until midnight tonight, first Tuesday in November, same as

(00:58):
the Melbourne Cup. That's where the US election is. So
tomorrow will be the first Tuesday in November, obviously, but
tomorrow will be the first Monday in November for most
of the US, so we won't get the result through
till about seven point thirty on Wednesday, evening. Firstly, I

(01:19):
want to say how exciting the weekend sport. That is
sport when it's close. Yeah, England versus the All Blacks,
New Zealand rugby league team versus the Tongue and rugby
league team, the cricket New Zealand versus India, and the

(01:41):
local football derby with Auckland FC versus the Wellington Phoenix.
Funnily enough, the widest margin of victory was Aucland FC
over the Phoenix, which was two nil, just one point.
In the rugby league. That was a fantastic match. They
look removed, the tongans out there with the anthems. Gosh,

(02:01):
it was a big spectacle and the rugby was good.
Lucky with the rugby because I'll watch it in the sleep,
in my sleep on the phone, and I got up
in the morning, well got up in the evening. I
got up in the morning and then watch it again
in the evening and I'd forgotten a lot of it,
which was exciting. I didn't realize what the winning try
was going to be. So big tick to sport that

(02:22):
they'll watch the cricket match also a brilliant the end
of that unbelievable. I mean, not often you get a
cricket match is exciting? Is that? Right to the end?
I love you to see Ajas Patel out there with
his wife and his daughter on the pitch, free moving.

(02:47):
So there we go. That's my sum up with the sport.
But all of it was good. But the rugby was
exciting because it was close. And of course, my name's sake, Marcus,
Marcus Smith. They're mad to take him off. I look
at him the whole time he plays. I look at it.
I think what the guy would he be like in class?
I know people like him, kind of cool but quite serious. Anyway,

(03:13):
they took him off the other guy as a dud anyway,
so that was exciting. So all of it was very
very good. Anyway, enough about that now the America. Oh,
by the way, some things are happening. Weren't many fireworks
and bluff over the weekend? I heard one. I've heard
none tonight, but of course it's still light till about
nine o'clock tonight, and of course tomorrow night's when fireworks happens.

(03:37):
But so far I've seen no negative reports of people
doing bad things with fireworks or animals dying. It's a
good thing. I came past the fireworks shop on my
way to work. There were three cars outside. There was
a half past seven. I thought that seemed quite busy.
So no doubt. We'll talk about that sometime tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
So there we go.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Get in touch if your daughter talk Monames Marcus welcome, Oh,
eight hundred and eighty eight ten eighty. But yes, it'll
be Wednesday. We will have four coverage for the US
election because that could get testy. No one knows what's
going to happen. I think, as we say in the
industry uncharted territories, that's Wednesday night. We should know by

(04:23):
about seven point thirty. But no doubt that be twists
and turns and the towels with this one. There have
been people requesting a sweep steake on the US election,
and fair enough, it's good that people are interested. I

(04:46):
haven't got a prize for a sweepstake, but if anyone
wants to partake in the sweep steak, then that's good.
I reckon if we have a sweepstake on the U
S election, we should probably have that done and dusted
by about eleven, by about eight fourteen, because as I understand,
there's only three options Kamala Harris wins, Donald Trump wins,

(05:09):
or it's a draw. I want to imagine the draw
will be harder to prove and take some time. Do
you want to say anything quickly about that? Or partake
in the sweepsteak. It'll only be two calls and the
sense of achievement won't be that great. But there might
be something people want to get involved with, and you
are more than welcome. Just ring up and we'll put

(05:32):
you to air and then that one will be done
and us and by the way, the other thing I
want to say on the back of the news, there's
been no coverage of the tour of Southend and Southend
is you. I don't know why. I might be saying
something about the state of the local press, but no
coverage at all, So that's surprising. I was surprised it
was on. The second surprising thing to say about the

(05:55):
tour of South End is that the weather in Southend's
good today because normally when the tur of south and
on it hails and snows horizontally and people always say,
oh yeah, typical the only time every year the cameras
are on us and it snows. But today's been for
every good, it's been up as high as seventeen degrees.
So there you go. That's the situation where that I'll

(06:18):
keep you updated anyway. Oh, eight hundred and eighty tatty
and nine two nine two de ticts. If you want
to talk quickly about the sweepstake for who's going to
win the presidential election? Yeah, and the glory will be yours.
We'll get two people first to get in touch. As
I say, oh, eight hundred and eighty today, year nineteen

(06:38):
nine Tso has he got a predictions?

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Got?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Does he want to join the sweep steak?

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Dan? Okay?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
So I need one more person for the sweep steak.
And since some of in a generous spirit, you can
pick the side of who you g you can pick
your result in the sweep steak, because I think, honestly,
I think Wednesday night will be the night of the

(07:12):
hot reckons and that'll be a that'll be arduous. Paul,
Welcome to the sweep steak. My name is Marcus.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
Good evening, evening, Marcus.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Paul? Do you want me to choose someone for you?
Do you want to choose.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Someone you know?

Speaker 7 (07:31):
I might as well, get you to choose, but I'll
tell you what I pick. I picked Trumpy and my
predictions sillier this year that he was gone. I didn't
actually realize he gets this far. To be fair, what
did you predict?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
What did you predict? A your predictions?

Speaker 7 (07:47):
It wasn't good. The all Blacks wouldn't lose. Well, they
have lost, and there was earthquakes. I thought there would
be one big one. We've had lots, but not of
the seven point five.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think that's the three show for big. I think
or seven depends on how prist the episode of US
to be. But what was your Trump prediction?

Speaker 7 (08:10):
I see Trump, he's gone, gone, gone and gone. No,
just wash him dead there.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
But I don't know, okay, I.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Just wished them, you know, he go sideways because yeah,
things weren't looking good for him.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Trumps, your prediction could still come, right, I'll put you
down as Kumbleruse that's your prediction as well. Paul, it
is okay, so I Kambala wins. That's your prediction, right,
and then we've got this is an interesting total. We'll
be done and dusted.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Ben, you give it Marcus my predictions Trump.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
But that's no No, that's mine. Ben, that's you. That's
a sweepsteak. I choose You've got Trump. Okay, yeah, brilliant sweepstake,
done and dust. Just be quick. Ben's got Trump, Paul's
got Cobler. There might be a prize. Someone might donte
something all happening Wednesday night. I might do something special

(09:09):
for that. I don't know what. So I had to
get a couple of quick calls out of the way
to be fair. These breaking news for the next four hours.
You'll hear it all here. First. I do a lot
to get breaking news to you. So that revolves going
a lot of websites right throughout the show, checking on stuff,
breaking news stories. Who here's an exciting thing. Think about

(09:39):
good movies you want to remake of. They are remaking
The Day of the Jackal. That was a great film.
The Day of the Jacket was one of the greatest
films of all time. Remember that he dressed up like
an old retired vet with a crutch, and the crutch
became the rifle. Brilliant. So that's going to be a thing.

(10:04):
It's on Netflix at the moment. I don't know if
me to spend my time promoting move they say it's sensational. Yeah. Anyway,
So there was a remake of the Day of the Jackal.
It was an extremely good film nineteen seventy three. Edward
Fox was the Assassin. I don't think I watched it

(10:25):
quite that soon, but if you remember it, it was
an absolute what's the TV equivalent of a page turner?
I can't think of the answer to that. I'll watch that.
They say it is brilliant. By the way, the guy

(10:46):
that wrote The Day of the Jackal, he wrote, completed
the manuscript and just did this in thirty five days.
He wrote The Day of the Jackal, then The Odessa,
Philes and the Dogs of War, and plenty of the
assassins copied his particular methods. It was a brilliant movie,

(11:10):
and I watched as a child. What I like about
it is that the as you get older, I reckon
a lot of your memory. Your bits of your memory
are taken up, so when you're young, your memory is better,
You've got more kind of spare space I reckon. So
I remember that movie quite vividly. Brilliant movie. And if
I'm going to watch it again, not now, because I'm

(11:30):
at work. Unbelievably good there he was when the crutch
became a firearm. Mind you, the way memory works, I
might have actually misremembered it. Anyway, get in touch, Marcus
or twelfth have finished our American elections sweepstake. By the way,

(11:56):
as far as our predictions go, no one predicted a
series sweep. In the cricket it was very moving too,
even n Smith, whom I respect greatly. I've had quality
to do with n Smith in a broadcasting capacity in

(12:18):
pre gone lives. I've got a lot of time for
En Smith. But En Smith came back into the commentary
box about ten minutes after the victory said quietly, I've
been out the back shedding a tear. And he's someone
that's a former batsman, a former wicket keeper and a
former batsman. He was removed by the result. And I
suppose so often, so many teams have gone to India

(12:40):
with the docted pictures and living conditions I suppose which
are slightly hectic, and they've all come away or none
of them have come away successfully. As that team the
first team ever from any country that's clean swept in
a series worth with more than two matches, so huge. Anyway,

(13:05):
we've got to show. Here's a question for you. It's
something I've never discussed before, and I'm just gonna ask,
and this ask that this question is asked without judgment,
because I don't know the answer and I don't want
to be shamed about it either. But the question for
me to you just let's get a vibe reading first.

(13:27):
How often are you supposed to change your pillow, not
your pillow, slip your pillow? Would it be annual, bi annual,

(13:47):
five annual or decat annual? How often? Because pillows are
funny things, you get used to your pillow. It's like
sellers power to wine making, it's used to his own wine.
But with a pillow. The psychology of a pillow thing
ever play, Oh gee, that's come? Oh where's that? I

(14:08):
love that pillow? And I don't know where you find
the pillows that become you forever plow. You just happen
to have them, and any other pillo it's never as good.
And then you get to the stage quite stuck a
new way as you think, well, actually it's probably time
I had a new pillow. But you're terrified you're going
to find one that's as good as the pillow you've
just had. So I think as we get older, we

(14:29):
get more reluctant to change pillows. I kind of got
that right literally tonight as pillow Talk. Well there, whether
you go down, there's a topic of your podcast. It's
pillow talk tonight. How far would you change them? And
what's it wrong if you don't change them that often?

(14:51):
I got no idea about this. I've never had a discussion,
and probably it'd be fair to say that, I mean,
with the honesty hat on, I don't think probably I
changed pillows that often because I've got a pillow that
is the pillow of the gods, but feathers have started

(15:13):
coming out of it. Yeah, so I've been pillow shamed,
and I mean almost thinking of getting it reconditioned, Like
I'm not put the feather to undo it, put the
feathers through the wash and repack them with a few more.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So I think we can actually even disguise your voices
if you want to be if you've had your whole
pillow your whole life because you're health, would you I've
got no idea. I'm not going to google this because
there'd be nonsense on the you know what, happened on
the computer, it'd just be endless. Follow the money big
pillow would have funded all the research. Oh, we found
that the best way to replace your pillow is every

(16:02):
six weeks to fund the whole industry. So there you go.

Speaker 8 (16:09):
I'm right.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Literally, no one knows, no response. No one knows. Someone
says to spray their pillow with Glen twenty. Don't even
know what Glenn twenty is. Sounds like a street address,
so no one knows when to change pillows Glenn twenty.
You can get feather pillows dry cleaned every year is

(16:32):
a good idea. She's an old chock. How would they
dry clip pillow? Marcus. I saw a woman come out
of the dry cleaner with the plow last week. Must
have had it cleaned, and I wondered if that was
a thing. I don't know how old my pillow is.
It's not more than five years. I don't think always
buy a new pillow on the birthday. Love a cold pillow.

(16:53):
Bamboo is my favorite. Jeff, spray your pillow with Glenn
twenty and put it in the sun just as this today. Jen,
But I think I don't think your pillows are jermy,
And if they are. Jimmy, you're only reinfecting yourself. So
I don't even know what the problem is. Where a
scuzzy pillow? Ifn're going to help me out with this,

(17:14):
I'll be forever when you're dead. Good evening, Michelle, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 9 (17:21):
Oh hello, Mark has years you know you would leap
from seven holes in our here every night.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't say that.

Speaker 9 (17:30):
You've got to put a protector on your pillow.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Were the seven holes?

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Count them in your head?

Speaker 9 (17:45):
In your head?

Speaker 10 (17:47):
Are your eyes, eyes, ears, nose?

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Mouth?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
So then what are you saying?

Speaker 9 (17:57):
And then you need to put a protector on it?
Have a protector on your pillow? Water proof, freezeable. I
sell the best pillow of the world.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
You sell them. Yes, I've been you like one of
those people. You like one of those people the imp
shows I am.

Speaker 9 (18:15):
I am that person. So we we import a personally
designed follow that we sell to the accommodation industry. And
if you'd slept on one, you bring us up on
one a.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Five month wow.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
That's how I first found the cluster path was in
the accommodation industry. I lived for my cluster puff.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
What tell me more?

Speaker 9 (18:37):
Before we sell those too.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Tell me more about your pillow, Michelle.

Speaker 9 (18:42):
Well, imagine your cluster pass.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah, and a pillow.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Well, I can't imagine that. It sounds that good.

Speaker 9 (18:49):
Yeah, see, it's really good. It's full of all these
little balls of heat set mic fiber and a little
bit of silk and balls. Next to me driving We've
just got off a plane from rare Thomas and he's saying,
don't give away too many secrets, Michelle.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Okay, so do you sing you one?

Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
I tend not to take stuff for free because I
don't want to be compromised, so I'd rather exchange money
for it. Did you invent it?

Speaker 9 (19:20):
Yes, we did. It's suggestable, it's washable, it's fantasticable.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
So where do you just go around the a MP
shows and sell them?

Speaker 9 (19:30):
No, we don't. We go around and all the accommodations.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Okay, see you go to hotels and stuff.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
And then we get people ring up and say, I've
slipped on this pillow. It's such and such a place
I need it in my life.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Stops. You welcome to do sight back from your Michelle.
I'm going to ask you to do something, Okay, can
you just hang on. Can you just hang on the line.
I'll come back to you. Okay, can you do that
for you? No worries, brilliant, Thank you, Michelle. I think
we're in for a great reveal. So for people listening
to this show, right, how would they how would they

(20:08):
get hold of it?

Speaker 9 (20:10):
Well, they can contact me, but.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Is there a brick? Can you get them in shops
or something?

Speaker 6 (20:15):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Well, pardon with the topic as well.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
I didn't hear any of that.

Speaker 9 (20:26):
Oh yeah, we're just driving up at north of Auckland, so.

Speaker 11 (20:30):
I might lose you.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Email me, Michelle, email me please, You're twenty nine away
from night. How often to change your pillow? I've got
no idea what, Michelle. She's going through the brenduwins to
do brenwins, and I've got no idea what the answer
that is? How often do you change your pillow? Get
in touched My name is Marcus head on Midnight oh eight,
one hundred and eighty eight, Teddy and nine text anyway,

(20:55):
So it seems as though the only way people can
compel you to change your pillow is to put the
fear into you, which is interesting in itself. Anyway, someone
also wants to take Robert if Kenny in the sweep steak,
I don't think he's running. I'm almost sure of that.
So just say, you know, bought a microcloud pillow from

(21:18):
austral last year. Brilliant, beautiful. They only sell them to hotels,
but they do sell direct to customers from their factory.
Expensive but worth every penny. Would never replace it. Who
knew who knew you can get them dry clean? Who
you could wash them?

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Who knew.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Who you could spray them with? Glenn twenty Hello terriots,
Marcus welcome.

Speaker 12 (21:44):
Yep, god, I I always would I buy a pillow.
The first thing is you look at comforts and pieces,
But the other secondary thing is can you wash it?

Speaker 13 (21:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (22:00):
Not many say or what you know? They don't tell
you how to wash a pillow. And I found that
the bambillow ones have an obstruction tag on them which
says you can wash them, and then it describes how
to wash them. And the key to the thing is

(22:23):
if you're a dribbler or a snorter or whatever, you
can see a stain on it, so you can know.
Everybody changes the pillow slips once a week. Well I
hope they do the mid of it and you can
take the pillow, slip off, look at it or there's

(22:44):
a bit of a stain and stay there or something,
and throw it in the washing machine, hang it out,
not on the clothesline, but in an area out of
the sun, and the way you go. It takes a
couple of days to do it the dry But yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
So are you pecking two Bam belows Terry? So again,
have you got to back up Bam below for an
your other band belows on the line?

Speaker 12 (23:15):
Yes, I have.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Wow, that's quite smart marketing from them, isn't it. They're
going to wash them because you need a second bend below?

Speaker 12 (23:23):
Oh, very much so. Because some pillows you buy all
the people don't really look at the type of pillow.
O as member beg as a child, and the Cape
pop was the white Man. And you know, you don't
save a tree, you get the capeop. But however, how
can you wash a capeop pillow? And I can't ever

(23:46):
remember my parents washing a cape pullo the cover, yeah,
but not the pillar.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
So does that mean we managed to survive so long
without washing the pillows? I wonder if in fact it's unnecessary.

Speaker 12 (24:04):
Well, you know, I think back to my early days,
and then in the latter days you look at some
of the pillows. Some of them are staying pretty badly,
and it comes to a stage where it's just right.
And I looked at me each other and basically said
jack and through the bout and with the bam below

(24:27):
once came back. Well, that was magic.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Nice to hear from you too. Of course for me,
I love ben bellows because of the portmanteau of pillow
and bamboo. It's a great name. They could have called
it the ben below or the palambo Mboo palamboo palambo

(24:52):
or the ben below. I think they got the right one. Well,
then the other ones could also be a good thing
to set up a rival gumpney, but I don't know
what they do with a bed. And even if it's
got bamboo in it, the ben below seems weird, doesn't it.
Bamboo Ben below worst pillow ever. I was given one,
Comma hated it, so already gets strong polarization from the

(25:16):
bam billows. I'll tell you something that's hard to get
is a good tramping pillow otherwise known in the industry
as a trampillow, because you get the good mattresses. Now
that you can blow up the hiking match. But it's
hard to get a good pillow. And basically the key

(25:38):
to good night's sleep is a good pillow. Because if
you're a new tramper, you're are or a season for everything.
Oh well, if you can roll up your you can
roll up your swan dry and pop up. But it's
never quite the same. Yep. There we go on to
the pillows. Glenn emailed Marcus love your work. I changed

(26:02):
my pillow once every fifty years. Regards Glenn, and I
think it's a school of thought that gets used to
the pillow they've got, and they're skin of changing because
I want to wreck their night's sleep. And I have
inclined to be in that school of thought. But what's
coming out of your eyes, Michelle cheap or e is

(26:27):
By the way, no one seems to know how for
to replace a pillow. No one's got any comments at
all about when they're supposed to be replaced. I suspect
most people waiting till they fall apart. Are they you're
into a motel, they've got a pillow menu. That's weird,
isn't it.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
It's like what.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Bambillow? Worst pillow ever? Marcus is the pillow case replaced slip.
I've called a case. My wife calls it a slip.
I think the word slip sounds slightly common. Marcus. Once
a week put the pillow of the sun even inside
my window and fluffs them up. Don't know how it works,
but it does, Marcus. When I buy pillows, I buy eight,

(27:09):
four for my husband and four for me. Cost This
woman needs pillow Anonymous. We need to wash my pillows.
The foe go on the wash in a fresh lot,
get put on the bed, and I dry them outside.
They bring them in and put them in the hot
water cup. And my pillows are never yellow. It's all yellow.
We don't change our mattress every year, So why change

(27:31):
a pillow every year? Some say you should change your
mattress every year? What's blane say? Thing on those heads?
They say you're supposed to do it, don't they. I
buy fifty dollars pillows, but only by them when half
price at Briscoes or such. Stay away from the cheapest

(27:52):
brands warehouse. Cheap pillows are awful, go middle of the road.
Throw them out when they start looking old or scody.
A scow dillo. At least every one or two years.
Replace can use a pillow, p take it to prolong
their life. Ah, yes, but what protects the pillow protector?
That's my input. I like the memory fime to prop

(28:13):
me up in a softer, plush pillow to sleep on.
How often should you replace your pillow? No one knows,
is he. Everyone's too scared to come out and say
how often they really do it themselves because they're scared
of being pillow shamed because no one really knows what's

(28:33):
going on with your pillow, do they really? And I
mean a lot of memories on that pillow, Yeah, a
lot of memories. I think there's only a certain age

(28:53):
when you get pillow particular because sleep is not as
such a common bed for I was at once was
that's my take on that anyone been tortured by fireworks? Yet,

(29:17):
what's Trump's mad mate that's into pillows? He's a pillow guy,
isn't he? I don't know what his one's like. He's
big on the infomercials. I remember that the Trump's guy
that was into those voting machines. You'll have followed him
in the in depth journalism. What was the pillow guy's
name anyway, get in touch if you want to talk.

(29:42):
My name is Marcus. Welcome. Oh wait, Michae Lindell, the
mypolo guy. That's right, that's exactly right. I don't know
what the my pillow was like just but outside it's
still lighten in vert Cargo Marcus the beauty rest black

(30:04):
pillow four nine nine Harvey Norman. My wife brought me
a band below. I threw it out within days. It
was like sleeping on a doorstep. Fireworks are going hard
and totally. It sounds like shotguns going off. They're louder
this year than in the past. I prefer a Boston

(30:25):
to lay my head's on. No plans to replace the
ones I'm currently using. What is a bossoming no pillow? People,
they've know what a Boston is. It's a type of cheer. Yes,
we've been tortured here in Upper Hut. Fireworks have been

(30:46):
going off every night for a week now. Obviously some
stockpiled onely huge one just went off in front of
the head of our dogs. They go for months, and
that's no liar exaggeration. We change pillows when we are
no longer getting a solid sleep once every year or two.
The Preason's fact checked. It's a bosom, not a bossom.

(31:11):
We changed pillows when we are no longer getting a
good sleep. I have a long term neck injury, so
I have three different pillow styles, thickness and fill, each full,
and each suits of a different purpose.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
When you find something that works, it can be hard
to let go of. The best pillow by Miles is
filled with buckwheat hulls. Pretty grim. At Canterbury University there's
been a mass of food poisoning event the headliners. It
was carnage. Vomit drips from windows as union students fall

(31:45):
sick after suspected food poisoning. I don't think anyone with
food poisoning has felt they had to resort to vomiting
out windows, have they? What's that about? Seems an overreach, Marcus.
The New Zealand Go pillow by human Kind is incredible
as silliton inherits. I think I think a lot of
pillows are like why it's all just pr he's telling

(32:09):
the story. There's a lot of rubbish when it comes
to pillows. I've seen I reckon if something if they're
doing a story about something in the enis in magazine.
It's pretty much diver substance. That's my guide everything. I
don't want to sound mean spirited. Marcus. Never buy pillows

(32:30):
from Briscoes when they have a sale. They seem to
be all cheaply made. I think that's probably the way
of the world. Now, Oh, good on you, Michelle, I've
got your email. Wow, cheepers, that's exciting. Wow, cheepers. David's Marcus.

(33:04):
Good evening, Marcus, L are you man?

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Good day?

Speaker 14 (33:09):
Look, just a just a question, curiosity, that's all. Are
you going on about those place names in America?

Speaker 5 (33:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (33:17):
Is there any particular reason? Do you know why a
lot of the place names on the Earth, the biggest continents, countries,
and cities begin an end with the.

Speaker 15 (33:27):
Letter A.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Ton other point.

Speaker 14 (33:33):
I was just wondering at all.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
It's probably one of the best questions I've heard all
my years and talk back, really, because they would have
been these names would have come up before that English alphabet,
wouldn't they.

Speaker 14 (33:50):
It's right too much of a coincidence to me. You know,
they're all naming their own countries, and they all seem
to name them in the same same way. I don't know,
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Because even there's that game right when you say a country, right, yeah,
and then replace name, and then you've got to follow
with a place name that begins with the last name,

(34:27):
the last letter of the name that's just said yes,
And you go right around for a level with Alaska, Arizona,
because a lot of them seem to begin with A
and end with A.

Speaker 14 (34:37):
That's what. Yeah, I didn't get there. Especially in America,
you've got from.

Speaker 16 (34:44):
And Argentina, and yes, absolutely, you know Antarctica, Argentina, Australia,
you know that Austria.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
How long you've been how long you've been pondering this for.

Speaker 14 (35:01):
A few years, I suppose a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
I thought you were going to ask. I thought you're
going to ask, because the interesting about states in America.
I don't know how many of them begin with America
with American, well American Indian names, but I presume it
must be about half of them, because you've got Mississippi, Missouri.
Quite a lot of start with the same thing, which
must be Yeah. I'll look into that, but I'm going

(35:31):
to try and answer that question for you, Dave.

Speaker 14 (35:33):
That's what The other in one that's smissed alone was
Milwaukee I believe.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh you know, I think there might be a city,
not a state. But yeah, I'm hearing you. But thanks
David's good question. By the way, I can tell you
too that this has just been reported from the BBC.
Quincy Jones has died. Giant of musical well a year

(36:02):
giant of US music dies aged ninety one. Quincy Jones,
musician and producer, worked with Michael Jackson, fran Sinatra and
many others die as ninety one, so look that people
will be surprised how old he is. Well, I don't
know that's the silly thing to say, but you know,

(36:24):
this would not be unexpected at ninety one. I guess
that's probably a more nuanced thing to say. I don't
know much about his early life, but certainly he's had
a long and prolific career. Of course, he wasn't in
We Are the World, so I love that, but he

(36:47):
did produce it. I think Harry Belafonte was behind the
whole thing. Michael Jackson Lionel Richie were the ones that
wrote it, but Quincy Jones produced the album. That see
that documentary on Netflix. It's very very good about the
making of We Are the World, particularly when, particularly when

(37:11):
Stevie Wonder shows Bob Dylan how to sing and sings
like Bob Dylan very funny. Marcus best pillow out is
a therapeutic silk spring pillow I got from Brownie's Mattress
direct in christ Churche. Marcus rice pillows common in Japan.
Had a few calm nights using them all last year.

(37:34):
I brought pillows because my neck was so sorry. I
spent over six hundred that must be dollars. One was
the go pillow human Kind, which is over two and
it's horrible. I sent it back In the end. It
turns out they had this problem in my neck that
pillows made no difference. The one that helped the most
is the Hilton brand from Briscoes. By the way, I'm
not looking for a free pillow. I refuse to be

(37:56):
compromised by free goods because what happens if you get
give them something free off, it's terrible. You feel then
you've been bought. Oh yeah, she's a shaky road that one. Anyway. However,
if there's a good recommendation, but yet it's more about
how often you change them. Get in touch Marcus Till

(38:19):
twelve oh eight hundred and eighty Teddy and Night. If
there's something different you want to mention. Also don't know
if anyone went to the Phoenix match what the atmosphere
there was like, there was a good watch. Actually it's
exciting football because normally football matches go very slowly. That
one was very quick. It felt like it was over
about half an hour. Bis ronic of all the sport

(38:39):
of the weekend, the one where the greatest gap, the
greatest scoring differential was the football. There was only one
point in the rugby league, go go tong, that was unbelievable.
Only one point in the rugby Union, and of course
two with the cricket. I mean they're all out. Marcus
Casey here just tuned in earlier after a day of housework.

(39:01):
Bennett's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 6 (39:04):
Okay, Marcus.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Hi Ben in market? Can you you allowed? And clear? Receiving?

Speaker 6 (39:12):
Oh? There you go receive? And how about one of
those being below pillows?

Speaker 5 (39:16):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (39:16):
Look at you?

Speaker 2 (39:17):
The self starter up with the time. It's aggressive.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
Oh no no, I'm not reck I reaped that. What
I did was what I first got it. I paid
quite good money for it, and I jumped on the
bed the first night and it felt like my head
was on a ninety degree angle, and I thought, this
is right. And the mate said to me, he says, no,
just keep on going, you'll get used to it. Well,
I couldn't get used to it because it was like
a concrete block with a briven brainket wrapped around it.

(39:44):
In my head. Honestly, I felt like my head was
touching a roof, just a straight ninety degree angle. Anyway,
I went thro about four days and I thought the
hell was I can't do that? So I ended up
pulling an apart and then just getting another pillow slip
and then just what quite half of her into a

(40:07):
into a police clip and just throwing that up and
then using that And that's what I use.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
And that's good.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
Yeah, made a heat of difference because I don't know
they stood up that much. It's like sleeping on a
bouncy castle, you know, But I want to pull it apart.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
That just that just fixed it.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
I like the conversation with you and your mate. You go, oh,
I like that the pie rather everybody, mate, I tell you,
it's like my heads at ninety degrees?

Speaker 6 (40:37):
What do I tell it feels in honestly, because they
come out like the core extensive for people rave on
about the band below. If you get a band below,
you'll never turn around, never.

Speaker 8 (40:47):
Even go you know.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
And oh I thought the heat of that, But yeah,
I just pulled her apart, ripped them output her and
I've got soda up use that. So I've still got.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
Three course to half.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
I suppose whatever of the one there, and when this
one gets a bit stinky or whatever, or just look
it out and put some more and another one and
do it again.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Did you buy do you buy it online?

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (41:13):
I can't. I think I brought on training. But it
was brand new. It wasn't second hand. It was brand new.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
I'm not I'm not doubting you're not going secondhand with
the pillows.

Speaker 6 (41:24):
Yeah, yeah, well but am I don't know if you
put brand new pillows when you're standing there?

Speaker 5 (41:30):
Do they never?

Speaker 2 (41:31):
So it's quite full, is it?

Speaker 6 (41:34):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Yeah, yeah, sounds like a doorstop. Okay, yeah, no, no, don't.
I don't know if I've experienced a band below, ben
maybe I have. I like a further one. I think,
well that's the go to pillow. His interesting text. All
six continents start and end with the same letter. Yes,
we've passed on the news about Quincy Jones too. Quincy

(41:58):
Jones has died ninety one oh eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty nine nine text Marcu still Midnight. Someone has said, rightly,
I understand that he was married to the woman from
the Mod Squad Before my time the Mod Squad, Piggy
Lipton was a name. What was the Mod Squad about?

(42:20):
I often hear that talked about, but I don't really
have any idea. I can't even visualize what the show
was about. I'm real pleased they've remade The Day of
the Jackal. I think it's a crime show the Mod Squad.
Someone will know more about that. Twenty four past nine.
My name is Marcus. Welcome hid on Midnight been every

(42:42):
busy night. We had an American US presidential sweep steake
cover that often two calls. Although someone wanted to actually
put their name down for rfkj Jr, who was pulled out.
He's told his supporters to support TRUMPO New Zealand websites

(43:08):
and now reporting about Quincy Jones. Jones rose from running
with gangs on the South side of Chicago to the
very heights of show business, became one of the first
black executives to thrive in Hollywood and missing extraordinary musical
catalog that include some of the richest moments in American

(43:30):
rhythm and song. For years, it was unlikely to find
a music lover who did not own at least one
record with his name on it, or a leader in
the entertainment industry and beyond who don't have much have
some connection to him.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
He co wrote We Are o Lionel Richie, who co
wrote We Are the World, would call Jones the master
orchestrator involved with thriller. He was a subject of a
nineteen ninety documentary Listened Up the Lives of Quincy Jones

(44:12):
in a twenty eighteen film by daughter Rashidah Jones, his
memoir made him a best selling author. Well, by the
way we mention this, Rashidah Jones, now I'm familiar with
her back canon because she was very good on that
Parks and Wreck. I think if memories got me right,
extremely good on that she was. Anne Perkins lit up

(44:34):
the screen with her fresh, zesty ways. There you go.
Obviously the daughter two of the woman from the Mod Squad.
She is great high markets. Marcus welcome.

Speaker 17 (44:51):
Yeah, Hi, Yeah, I don't you know how you said.
I don't believe that the mod squats before your time
because it wasn't my brother's time and my time I
was younger than my brother in the same years what
you you were in the mid sixties. And here's right
into it.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
The mod squad yea periods that were more liberal of
what they could watch. Maybe I don't know. Probably might
have been on late, wasn't it.

Speaker 17 (45:16):
Yeah, it was like the professionals. Do you remember the
professional You didn't really watched them. I remember the actors
and the masquad. It was Pete, Pete, Julie and Link.
How come you didn't mention Pete and Link?

Speaker 2 (45:32):
You mentioned because I mentioned. I mentioned her because she
was Quincy Jones's. Quincy Jones has died today and he
was married to her. If the other people had died
that were married to those ones, I would have mentioned them.
So do you understand that logic?

Speaker 17 (45:50):
You understand that logic, but the logic I an't understands warrant.
You mentioned the Partridge family because she was behind the
actors and the Parridge family. David Cassidy, is that the
woman that you're talking.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
About well you mean Piggy Lipton. Was she in the
Partridge family.

Speaker 17 (46:06):
I'm not talking about well, she might, I'm not talking
about her.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
She should.

Speaker 17 (46:10):
Quincy Jones was the one that was behind that was
getting training David Kessy into the career, into his music career.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I look into that, thank you, Mark.

Speaker 18 (46:22):
What are those stories at ten? Or check out.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
What's about to get underway?

Speaker 18 (46:26):
Basketball Australian National Basketball League match between the Breakers are
wonderful Breakers and Melbourne United.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
That you put them because I thought they did. They're
quite quite high.

Speaker 18 (46:35):
Up on the hit parade of the top two teams
at the moment, the Breakers are on top of The
Breakers have played a lot fewer games due to their
American trip, So I don't think the American trip is
a very good idea.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
For clearly it wasn't even enjoyable the sport, but no
one seemed to watch it or like it. And I
can't imagine the NBA players want to play the Breakers,
do they?

Speaker 19 (46:56):
No?

Speaker 18 (46:56):
And the Breakers got beaten, you know, heavily in each
of the three games, then came back and lost their
first Australian competition game on.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
The back of that trip.

Speaker 18 (47:05):
So but they did I didn't hammer the thirty sixes
over the weekend, so that's what's put them back to
the top of the table. But it's a very strange
table if you look at it.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Did you enjoy the foot the quality of the football
on Saturday?

Speaker 5 (47:16):
I did it.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Yeah, I thought no fast flowing match.

Speaker 18 (47:18):
Yeah it was yeah. I don't think the Phoenix deserved
to go down to nil.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
No, yeah, it was very good.

Speaker 18 (47:23):
Was some good sport over the weekend, wasn't there?

Speaker 2 (47:27):
The cricket was unbelievable in Smith and tears, the tongans
are unbelievable. It was all good.

Speaker 19 (47:32):
It was.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (47:33):
It was a huge weekend and hopefully there will be
another one to come this weekend.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Thanks very much. Tony twenty had away from ten minameers. Marcus, welcome.
I hope it's good where you are. I still don't
quite with out the clipture in Quinty Jones and the
Partridge family, but I love her. Why didn't you mention call?
Why didn't you mention? I love that? Because I should
have get in touch Marcus till twelve oh eight hundred
and eighty Teddy and nine two nine to de text
all about pillows and I don't really well. I mean

(47:57):
I just said, how often shud change of No one knows?
Ask gay I? Would you dan on it? Dan's gonna
ask chet gpt ai and he's going to see me
the answer. How often should you change it? Can you
ask them those sorts of things? I think you can,
can't you? I see in Poland the radio stations replaced

(48:18):
its hosts with chet gpt. It's gone about as well
as you can imagine, which is very well here. Quincy
Jones was involved with Donna summer, but I think he
was involved with MacArthur Park. Goodness, what a song that is.
No one knows about the pillows. Marcus husband got me

(48:41):
a bambillo for my birthday eight years ago. Still use it,
love it. It's a firmer type of pillow, which is
good for backside sleepers like me. Good support for your
nick and shoulders. Marcus talking about Rashida Jones and Parks
and Rick Iver tattoo of Ron Swanson with fried eggs

(49:02):
for eyes and a bacon mustache. I kind of was
a late I was a late convert to Parks and
Rick only probably got into it two years ago. I
watched it all back to back and loved it, fully
inhabited those characters, absolutely loved it, loved it, loved it.

(49:22):
She was the one, the other one. She was the one,
not the Rashida, but the other woman. That kind of
I forget her name, that kind of on the down
low kind of. Yeah, she was extraordinary her mate anyway,
get in touch by name's Marcus hddle twelve chet gpt
AI chet GPT. We asked chet GPT half Change of pillow.

(49:48):
It's generally recommend to change your pillow every one or
two years, depending on the type of condition of the pillow.
Here are some signs it's time for a new pillow.
Lumps or flatness. If your pillow feels lump here has
lost its shape, it's time to replace. Allergies. If you
don't increased allergy symptoms, your pillow might be curmuting dust,
my or mold. I hadn't thought of that. If you

(50:12):
wake up with neck pain, it might be a sign
your pillow isn't providing the right support. Stains or odors.
Visible stains are unpleasant smells. Going to get that bacteria
or mold have built up. Regally, fluffing your pillow and
using a play brict that can help extend its life.
Plenty of people want to hear from you lot to
see what you thought of Scott Robinson's performance in the war.

(50:35):
Are they're kicking the ball? Why don't they always kick
the ball?

Speaker 9 (50:38):
Away?

Speaker 2 (50:41):
I thought it was quite a good watch, the whole
all Blacks. I quite enjoyed it. Yeah, I find I
woke up at four or even without even setting an alarm,
which I was excited by, mister boring beginning of it.

Speaker 20 (50:58):
Evening, Pete Away, Mark, here you go.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Pete, good things. Thanks for asking good.

Speaker 20 (51:05):
You're just regaining eye Fox, you know.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Pete, Pete. Can we just call them? Can we just
say Guy.

Speaker 20 (51:11):
Fawkes, Guy Fawks or whatever.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Think that's his name, not Guy. You won't says guy Fox,
but it's sort of anyway, okay whatever, Yep.

Speaker 20 (51:21):
Yeah, okay. But I reckon what they should too much
stuff they bean listen ban there. I don't want to
ban that, but I reckon what they should do. I
still do what they're doing.

Speaker 6 (51:31):
Now.

Speaker 20 (51:31):
You've got three or four days to buy buy your
fireworks and stuff like that, and then he got ten
days and then it's all over, and you could leave
them up haarf of the ten day period, then you
get fined or whatever if you can dd people and.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
And that's that's in favor of knocking.

Speaker 20 (51:50):
I am yeah, so the not having it at all.
So you got ten days and that way the fire
mcgay they know what, we've got ten days to be
on stand by this when it's all going to happen
or the insurance companies names. That's the time frame with
grot so he's gonna be listenance claims. And it's also
for the people who have pets. They know ten days

(52:10):
or fortnite, whatever the time they be. They know we've
got fortnite, say we're they got a fortnite reason fortnight.
It's not to you've got fortnite to let you crack
us off, go crazy and it's all over over.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
The police aren't gonna want to be bearing down doors
to confiscate fireworks. They kind of want to be loved
the police.

Speaker 20 (52:31):
No, it's it's called you know, it's either you use
it or lisa. So you've got the privileged s tool.
They have your fun with the kids. And after three
weeks whatever timeframe they decided to do, to stop with
from half of that time period that's it. You had
your change to let your fire crackers off, and then
the firebrig Akee can just like.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Peter's like all these laws, there's not enough. There's less
police than there's ever been. There's no one to enforce
or police it.

Speaker 20 (52:58):
You can do Paris.

Speaker 5 (52:59):
I'm soon.

Speaker 20 (53:00):
It's also dangerous. We all know it's danerous and summertime
and fires and stuff with gets dry.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
It's not as dangerous as driving on the road.

Speaker 20 (53:09):
No, at the end of the day, is it's fair.
You've had your chance to do your thing with your fireworks,
and that's it's all over. And then the fire are gay.
Then you can start fining people and whatever or the
insurance companies and go you for causing the fire.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Well, you'd be profileworks, Pete, do not pray.

Speaker 20 (53:27):
I'm saying, you've got your time frame. You've got you
two weeks to help your fun. It's all over.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
But I thought you'd be into it.

Speaker 20 (53:34):
Do you like fireworks? But I'm saying good. It's like ever,
it's a time frame in life, and you have a
time frame for this, and that's what it is. You've
had your fight and you know the time frame.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
And then that's it.

Speaker 20 (53:45):
And then that's the men you have your your police
or whatever, and they move in or whatever. The fiber
gate is the fire. You're you're also responsible to pay
for that fire.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
What if you've got no money? I mean, it's it's
always easy to come up with laws, but but a
lot of them seem to be unworkable.

Speaker 20 (54:05):
No, it's I think it's free workable.

Speaker 6 (54:06):
I had I haven't had.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
I haven't had one complaint about fireworks this year.

Speaker 20 (54:11):
No, always, because quite often what you do is people
have no respect. They need them up for all hours
of the morning. They don't give a toss about people's pets.
So you know, so people, we all know that theyre
the hell out of pets.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
But how many how many pet owners do you know?
They go to walk work and never leave, never walk
their dog in there, and the whole time they worked,
the dog barks endlessly. What's that about?

Speaker 20 (54:36):
Oh, yes, that's well getting a different scenario.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Scenario, it's about inconsiderateness.

Speaker 20 (54:42):
Well, as far as I'm saying that, it's a little
bit used to with stepping and the zone there the
fire we all know fireworks of danis excuse the ship
out of your pets or horses, cows, everything, so it's
not good for them. So you say you got two weeks.
It's cat the care consideration with other people, and people
don't take out of consideration they should be dealt with.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
I think the police would think was a very low priority.

Speaker 20 (55:08):
I don't think it is.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
I think it is.

Speaker 20 (55:10):
It's cruelty the animals. If they had they heard their
fun and then it's over.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
I don't I don't think you're listening to what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (55:18):
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not.

Speaker 20 (55:19):
You know, I'll listen to what you're saying. But I'm
saying I can guarantee you. I thought I've just said,
did you. A lot of people ringing up after this,
and I was saying, I'm never sitting guarantee what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
No one.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
I'm looking at the tigs. No one agrees with you.

Speaker 19 (55:30):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (55:31):
Yeah, but I know we're going to a few more days.

Speaker 12 (55:34):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
And Christmas trees put up in November should be police
tree confiscated. That's what someone said to you. Someone said,
someone said, someone said, this guy is a boomer. Do
you know what a boomer is?

Speaker 20 (55:50):
No, it's not a boommer. Those people are giving you
those Texas now that are in considerate for other people.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
That's what JA what a boomer is?

Speaker 20 (55:59):
Yeah, I know what a boomers. That's the people that
we were born and probably my era. They don't really care.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Are you born before nineteen six six five?

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Yes, I was.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
You're a classic boomer? Okay, good luck. Breakers are up
twenty one out of Melbourne, one thirty to go in
the first quarter's strong start. This guy is a boomer.
We should like barborks every night. Marcus tab Edge should

(56:35):
be banned from the Sky Sport halftime interval. It's definitely
trying to get younger people hooked. It's the most dangerous
addiction anyone can have. You can bet on, you can
put a bed on any time, any place, you can
hide your adictions. That comes crashing down. Good show. It's
interesting the United States because sports beedding used to be

(56:57):
banned everywhere apart from maybe Atlanta and Nevada, and now
they've actually tolerated in every state, I think most states.
But it's interesting because they can track in the states
that have allowed sports betting the consequences of it, like
greater disparity, like lower home ownership rates, all sorts of

(57:22):
quite tangible things. They can find out that people, you know,
spending the mortgage on sports betting and never doing well
with it because everyone ultimately loses.

Speaker 15 (57:35):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Does Costco sell fireworks extremely good question, cannyone tell me
about Costco. They probably should, especially at the right of
the middle of west Auckland. Pretty much fireworks Central be
a great place to sell them. And I can't think
they have any moral concerns, so don't seem to moralize Marcus.

(58:00):
Can you please mention someone those animates have a petition
going for betting the public sale of fireworks, especially for
the sake of the animals as usual five weeks going
off days before they should time for them to go
and all but the community one night events. Thanks Kathy. Yeah,
I think we did mention about Animates and the petition,
and that a lot of the thought was what is
an Australian company that's taking.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
Well.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think people felt the
strong vibe for Animates and I think they probably thought
that Animates was trying to win fave with New Zealand
by using this petition. I think people were quite cynical
of it. That was my take from it staying yourline
animates seem to be the conclusion for that. But you

(58:44):
can get your animals to sign the petition, they will
be accepting poor prints. Go figure. The trouble with public shows,
they're always garbage. You've got the local rotary or someone
doing them. It's always very underwhelming. There's always some disaster
and traffic problems and all sorts of things. Greetings and

(59:06):
will well comonimus Marcus with it till twelve o'clock tonight,
looking forward to what you've got to say about this
or anything else? What's this? How often you change your pillow?
And of course it's November fourth of The obvious pivot
is into Guy Fawkes or Guy Fox as people like
to call it. The other thing, also too, is that
what happened to the horse in the Melbourne Cup. For

(59:27):
a while they're in the eighties, it was always his
oil horses. Now not so much. I don't know that's
been in and bread. I mean often it's a flip.
Often it's his ZD bred horses.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
Is that the thing?

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Well, for a long time was his owned horses. The
last you's in in bred horse was re elegant and
the last ye's in an owned and trained horse was
a Fairyland two thousand and one, so it's been caught
of a century since he's an owned and trained horse
has won it. Yeah, So why aren't we any good

(01:00:01):
with our horses anymore? Is it because the other horses
are better? Cova, Lika, sharp and smart? I think it's
the Northern Hemisphere horses trust in you positively. They are
the ones from then a lot of Irish horses. The

(01:00:23):
thing about the Irish horses and always you think about
the Irish horses, right. I don't know if this is
even a thing, but remember there was that Irish race
horse that was kidnapped, Sugar, and they reckon that horse
might have been kidnapped and then got involved and other
people's breeding programs. Yeah that's interesting, isn't I guess they

(01:00:48):
could do that with DNA. Now look at the Argur
Kahnes horse. Anyway, that's always been of interest to me.
It'd be a good podcast that ethan. Don't get me wrong,
but the fireworks today are rubbish. In our days they
were good as we use the night to create blowing
stuff up. But now I keep going with a rubbish
fireworks for weeks. Yeah, that might be right. People don't

(01:01:11):
feel inspired to send them off because they're not that good. Marcus.
Our horse industry has been destroyed by lotto. Frank, you're
probably right, and that's what sir Rob Muldoon always said
that state gambling was going to destroy the horse racing industry.
But you know, would you call it a industry of
the whole thing that becks is gambling. I don't know

(01:01:33):
gambling and fashion in the field. Good evening, Roger, it's Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 15 (01:01:41):
I's a band fire roops doctor Australia. Put the band
all fire roops go to Australia. First time. You are
Brian birds and people brilling birds to me here if
I was killed my young ones, I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
I don't know that been in Australia.

Speaker 15 (01:01:59):
The yeah, they council, they are all been is Caesar
to all Australia. But ever state he's taking a coat.
You can signed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
No, I don't think they are they are they are No, they're.

Speaker 15 (01:02:18):
Not bend we're bloody well God don't just says nothing, Roger.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
You have to calm down. He's self terminated. But I
mean I appreciate his passion. Marcus I'm in Auckland with
a big Indian community and we have fireworks ford Wally,
We're happy de Wali. To that texter, Oh, they're not
with the Indian community. They live beside the Indian community.

(01:02:45):
I think that we'll read that one again. I'm an
Aukland with a big Indian community where I live, and
we have firework every year for de Wale. For five
days they started pm. People here are fup, waking children up.
They don't stop till after midnight. But what about you
and you're singing carols till midnight? King winches Slash. We're
all sorts of different faiths now. But I'll tell you what.

(01:03:07):
In Bluff because it's so windy, fireworks don't go for
long because you can't buy them in Bluff. And I
don't know why it's not really it doesn't seem to
be a big thing. I think it's too windy. People
are aware of the fire problems with it here till midnight.

(01:03:28):
My name is Marcus will Come eight hundred and eighty
thirty nineteen ninety de text. I think the bird breeding
angle is a good one. I don't know how that
impacts the bird breeders' Associations. Liz Marcus, welcome.

Speaker 10 (01:03:50):
I haven't loved the clock.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Unless you come in a different, a different What did
you say?

Speaker 10 (01:03:58):
My saying before it started? So I haven't I haven't
lost the plot. Well, I'm going to tell you what
to do about pillows and matt pressures. You get a
bunch of vodka, put the spray bottle and then your spray,
your macros and your pillows and there's pure alcohol. And
me we had boxed you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:18):
What drops did.

Speaker 10 (01:04:20):
You put the pillows?

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Who knows if there is things in the pillow?

Speaker 10 (01:04:27):
Well, if someone said there might be dust, whites or something,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Think you do vodka? Would you you get some industrial alcohol?

Speaker 10 (01:04:34):
Now you do use pure vodka, but.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
I don't know what trust me means? Do you use that?

Speaker 10 (01:04:42):
I know, but I've heard of it before. It's quite
recognized and I've heard of it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
We need more than heard of it. Japers. You know
what people actually bring to the pillow with pillow maintenance.
Some people use Glenn twenty. I haven't never heard of
Glenn twenty. Some people go to the dry colina. I
don't even know how I dry colina. Well, I love
my dry after the Swander episode. I've got a very

(01:05:09):
good relationship with them. Chris, it's Marcus Welcome. Good evening.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Yeah, I guess how good Chris. Hey, I heard someone
saying that fireworks are.

Speaker 7 (01:05:20):
Banned in Australia and that's not true.

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
You can buy them in the Australian Capital Territory, but
they you can't buy them in New South walest Queensland
or Victoria. But there's no real sort of law about
where or when you can discharge them. Because I've got
people down the road that let them off a lot

(01:05:45):
of the time over the space of the year. So
you know, the fact check would be good.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
So you're calling from Australia obviously, yep, okay, just.

Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
Just for someone to say that the Australians don't have that,
uh yeah you can't, okay, Just just an outer How
was the black Cats free tests on our own.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Removing to hear that Ian Smith was in tears? Yeah,
it was quite remarkable because the Indians were desperate to
save some dignity with that last match. I only kind
of came into it for the last session. I think
they needed fifty runs and watched probably an hour of it.
It was re compelling.

Speaker 3 (01:06:28):
One hundred and the Indian side is about to come
to Australia and that's always a good yes battle. But
after we've beaten them up, the Aussies to.

Speaker 7 (01:06:39):
Be stain for blood.

Speaker 2 (01:06:42):
I am and I have been away from papers today.
I don't read papers, but I haven't really heard a
really good, in depth explanation as to why we were
so good. We've been to Sri Lanka and we've got
a hiding there. We went to India, in India with
adopted pictures and we did the clean sweep. I can't

(01:07:04):
understand it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
Hand. It's because they took for granted that we would
not perform to our capabilities.

Speaker 4 (01:07:14):
But that might.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
That might happen for the first test, but then they're
gonna really yeah yeah baby, I.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Mean a threem. Results haven't done it. South Africa, Australia,
the West Indies like, none of these our houses of
cricketers done that to them. So this is a big
shame for the Indian side. So let's hope they give
the others.

Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
A good run.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I think the test rankings now go Australia, India, Sri Lanka,
New Zealand. So what you're about to witness in your
country is the top to top two teams, it should
be exciting.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Absolutely a lot. I love Test cricket, like Test cricket
is the game, and then for me, One day cricket
and the One Day Cricket World Cup is the picle
of that. But twenty is the new.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
Yeah, one day there's a Test on. There's a one
day cricket match on today, Pakistan Australia. Are you watching that?

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
Nope, there's no one there, Yeah, because all of the
of these players are somewhere else, I think. But when
it comes to one day cricket, it's a good game.
The aguments going on is what's more important. Twenty twenty

(01:08:35):
or one day cricket. I think there's a place in
the world for both of those games. But twenty twenty
is really entertaining for the people that are borderline fans.
But one day cricket you get to see the ebbs
and flows and maidens and stuff like that. So it
was to keep all three games going at the same time.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
Yeah, I think one day cricket will be the one
that dies, which is a shame because there's always been
great matches of that. But I just think that is
on its way out. Don't even know if the players
that committed to it, are they?

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
Yeah, well, yeah, that's the thing. There's the better to
commit to the twenty twenty, aren't they, because all the
moment that you can be made overseas. But yeah, let's
just hope that the one day cricket doesn't die out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
Nice to hear from you, Chris, thank you halftime in
the basketball or the breakers are on fifty five thirty
one to the other team. Welcome people. Twenty past ten
re fireworks since last week every night, constant explosions, Marcus.
Only Tasmani in the Northern territories allow exceptions, and even
then there are strict rules about who buys them and
when and how they're used. You despite these controls of

(01:09:36):
some of the months in December and February as spiking
injuries related to the illegal use of fireworks, what's a
crazy company to it country to allow fireworks because it's
tend to dry and getting dryer every year. You don't
need to tell me about information about fireworks in Australia.
I have researched it or read about it. I guess
it's the right word. Marcus. Sounds that those were fed
up with fireworks should move to bluff. Maybe it's our

(01:09:59):
double glazing. Marcus vodka or white vinegar are fined to
kill germs. I hate Glenn twenty. Or when did Glenn
ten twenty even become a thing? I hadn't heard about
it before tonight seemed to be a COVID thing. Glenn twenty.
I hate Glenn twenty. It's overpriced and more toxic to
humans than anything. Could someone tell me about Glenn twenty,
because honestly I've never heard of it. He has even

(01:10:22):
got its own Wikipedia page that I can see, Glenn twenty.
We'll try to work out how it's got such a
strange name. Marcus. I soaked my pillows a nappy sand
then washing the machine and dry on the line in
the sun. It works great. So there you go ten

(01:10:43):
twenty two hell for and a change your pillow? Well,
howping to buy a new pillow? That's the question I've asked,
quite a straightforward one. Interesting. Someone asked if you can
buy fireworks at Costco no response. I'll be curious to
know if you could buy fireworks on timbu. I guess
you probably can't. I think in trouble with fireworks but
like batteries, they're hard to sell. In the descend on

(01:11:04):
the plane, we're talking about pillows and pillow horror stories too.
The worst thing that could happen if you don't well,
I mean, we've had discussion about pillows and healthy you
should change it. Pilows no one knows and the bambillo
gets a wildly varying rap from people. Some love it,
some hate it. I just like the name. I think
it's a great name. We asked chet GPT about how

(01:11:27):
if you change your pillow was revery boring the answer,
so of up the ante a bit. We've asked them
what's the worst thing that could happen if you change
your pillow? And chet GPT said not changing your pillow
regularly can lead to several unpleasant issues. Over time, pillows
can accumulate dust, mites, allergens, and bacteria. Additionally, old pillow
may lose its shape. They can also kind of bits

(01:11:49):
of skill isshes like acne your other rotations. To maintain
good hygien and support for a good night's sleep, It's
generally recommended for place plows every one to two years.
So I went back and asked chet gp t tea
to write a horror story that starts with a woman
not changing her pillow. And this is the story they

(01:12:18):
sent me. It's a funny name. It uses a woman
called Lilah. Lilah had always prided herself on her habits,
but one thing she could never quite bring herself to
change with a pillow.

Speaker 8 (01:12:33):
It was old.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
It was old and stained, a relic from her college days,
and she loved how it confirmed her head perfectly. Even
after her friends Uja touched out, she shrugged off their concerns.
It's just a pillow, she would say. One night after
a long day where she sank into bed, the familiar
comfort of her well worn pillow crading her head, and
she as she drifted off, the soft creaks of rolled

(01:12:56):
a pat apartment faded into silence. In the dead of night.
Leelah was a jolted awake by a whisper. It was soft,
almost like the wind, but it curled her on her
ears like a sinister lullaby. Lilah at his she sat up,
her heart racing the room cloaked in darkness. The whisker
came again, more insistent, this time, Lilah, I'm here, this

(01:13:18):
is me talking now, this is terrifying that computers are
making this up, and I'm terrified. She turned on her
bedside lamp, illuminating the familiar room, but the atmosphere felt heavy,
charged with an unseen presence. Shaking off her knees. She
chalked up to exhaustion and laid back down, but sleep
wouldn't come. The whisper haunted her thoughts, weaving in and
out of her consciousness. Days turned into weeks, and the

(01:13:41):
whispers became a nightly ritual. They grew loud and more demanding,
always coaxing he listen. Desperate for rest, Lilah finally caved
and pulled the pillow from its case. As she held
in her hands, she noticed something strange. Tiny dark stains
had begun to seep through the fabric, forming sinister patterns
that resembled faces twisted and tortured. Horrified, she dropped it,

(01:14:04):
but it didn't hit the ground, instead just about the floor,
hovering honously. The whispers transformed into guttural moans, the air
thick with the spear. You can't leave me, it echoed,
and suddenly the faces seemed to come alive, the mouths
forming silent screams. Sorry about this people panicking Lyla rushed

(01:14:26):
to the door but slammed it shut. But it slammed shut,
locking her inside. The pillow floated close to the air,
growing colder. You chose me, it rasped, the faces twisting
in agony. Now you belong to me. With a primal scream,
Leada lunged for the window, her last escape. She ripped
it open, but the wind was an unyielding force, pulling

(01:14:47):
her back. The pillow hovered now, a grotesque entity, stretching
and writhing, had a will of its own. And that moment,
Lela understood she hadn't just neglected a pillow. She had
invited something, and something that thrived on her fear and despair.
As the whispers crescendoed, she felt her body weaken, her
mind fogging over. The last thing she saw was the

(01:15:08):
endless void of the night, and then nothing. When the
sun rose the next day, the apartment was silent. The
pillow lay innocently on the bed, stayed but still inviting,
waiting for the next soul to forget that some things
are better left untouched. Wow, it's dark. Did light to die?

(01:15:32):
The last thing that she saw, But she hadn't neglected
the pillows, that something's a better left untouched. How did
it start off? But she left it untouched forget for

(01:15:55):
the next sult but says, waiting for the next soul
to forget that some things are be left untouched, wouldn't
it be? Oh yeah, okay, it's gravently incorrect. Anyway, Sorry
for that, guys, if you're terrified by that. It reminded
me of that terrifying saying we have on this show
about the what was it terrifying show from that about

(01:16:21):
the hitchhiker what I'll give You a Ride? Do you
remember that show I'll give you a Ride? Well, I
thought it was quite a good story from chet GPT
I'll give you a Ride. But apart from that last line,
ricked it. She should have tried to change the pillow

(01:16:42):
or something that needed a little I might before I
submit that to the short story competition, I might get
a bit of a tweak.

Speaker 11 (01:16:49):
Evening, Craig, Yes, good evening, Marcus. It's Craig from Christus
to Mecano Man.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Craig from I'm sorry break from christ jur.

Speaker 5 (01:17:01):
Yes, how are you?

Speaker 11 (01:17:02):
Marcus? Yeah, look, I talk about four weeks. Gosh, I
got a really good memory, even on the age of
sixty five, and a lot of people say, you, gee,
it look like sixty five. You look about forty. It's
probably all a peanut butter sandwiches I had with all
the Soier oil when I was a kid made a
complexion to look young.

Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:17:24):
But anyway, fireworks nineteen, I'm going to take you back
on a boomer nineteen sixty eight. You could buy a
tinfoil ultimate bag of fireworks from the dairy for fifty
cents and now of the big fifty cent pieces back
in that time, and it had two cheap skyrockets and

(01:17:48):
one large one that sent off stars in the sky,
and you got things like Mount Cook just pretty colors,
Mount Servius, all these different ones.

Speaker 19 (01:18:04):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:18:05):
But in those days, you would dare not to lead
off any fireworks, you know, the next day after, because
you had a really good police force back in those days. Yep,
And it was really quiet.

Speaker 8 (01:18:18):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
I don't know that I necessarily agree with you.

Speaker 8 (01:18:23):
Yeah, well, we never heard it.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
I think I think people. I think people didn't save
any was such a huge night with all the neighbors
together that you just went off until there were none left.
You look it, you're all off. Yeah, I agree, yeah,
I agree that you.

Speaker 11 (01:18:38):
Well, you know, back in those days, well as a kid,
kids are very well disciplined and you had to fee
me and all that around and then buy about half
us ten. It was all over and you never heard
a thing. Nowadays you got teenagers spash and Burnside walk
around about two in the morning and lead off a huge,

(01:18:58):
big bang down the street and it would wake you out.
And what the hell was that, you know? And this
is what they're doing? This is this is you know,
some parts of Side not all Burnside.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
You really are the world just to be bitter sort
of a person, aren't you? Because is Burnside boy racing
central as well?

Speaker 11 (01:19:20):
Yes it is, and only in certain parts. There are
good parts of Burnside that people love to be in
around the Burnside Bowling Club, around that area.

Speaker 2 (01:19:30):
Which is there is some which is the which is
the worst part, like Wilbrock Cres which is the worst
part of Burns.

Speaker 11 (01:19:37):
Graham's Road, in Guildford Street, Flay Crescent Wayside Air But
quick those.

Speaker 2 (01:19:43):
Streets really what one Graham Street.

Speaker 11 (01:19:49):
Graham's Road near the Wamari Cemetery, around that area Flay Crescent.
A lot of king or houses around there.

Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:20:00):
Yeah, and you've got a lot of mischief kids. You know,
I know what the reason is. You look at their house.
They've got shopping trolleys up there, drive long glass and
you always hear a door slam and a big argument
about one o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
Okay, So I couldn't work at the end of the
back of that Craigie Florida against it at the moment.

Speaker 11 (01:20:25):
What's that fireworks?

Speaker 5 (01:20:27):
Yeah, you're not on for it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
Okay, you just seem to be down on your suburb
that way.

Speaker 11 (01:20:34):
I just put it this way. I live alone in
a glorious king or a house. I've got actually prizes
from it from the government. I'm on the government Facebook
as far as one percent of the most emmaculate nineteen
fifties house. We're the board house with esthetics, gardens inside everything.

(01:20:56):
I've got prizes. When Labor Party was in power, I
got gift vouchers to go to mine attend one hundred
dollars gift vouchers for keeping my place a necklace. But
what I'm saying, I was on fear to death that
some of these dysfunctionals around here would like to perform me.

Speaker 2 (01:21:13):
Do you call them dysfunctionals? Yep, okay, thanks Greg. Eighteen
to eleven. Wow, that is glad. I just thought we'd flip.
Oh flip, we misst Edward Fitzgerald Night. Oh it's on

(01:21:35):
a Sunday. We'll plant Friday night.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
Jay.

Speaker 2 (01:21:42):
I'll never forget that. I thought there would be. I
thought that would be a disaster for for Dan. If
he'd forgot when that was, it'd be a second offense.
Not that it's my job, but if you forget when
the Jay, if you forget when the skies have no
thing between gloomy. I think he turned a gloomy Todd

(01:22:04):
the cheapers. I thought we'd just have a bit of
us anyway, Marcus, I don't get to listen to your
show every night due to my shift patents. Have I
missed your Edmund Fitzgerald Night. I must be soon. Look
forward every year, grant it'll be well.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
When do we do it?

Speaker 2 (01:22:21):
We do it Friday, we'll do it Monday. See how
I'll trump, I see how the balance of power goes.
I'll give you a ride, Marcus, I cannot believe you
just mentioned that my friend and I were teenagers with
that episode of the Outer Limit was on. We joking.
He said that phrase to each other all the time

(01:22:43):
in the high pitched voice of the character. The story
was about Nce cream sales. When we had next sit
which destroyed his voice box. There are clips of YouTube
on it. I'll give you a ride, Marcus. I got
my pillow from Smith City. I put in the sun
every time I changed my beard, which is once a week.
I love my pillow. Was never so scary. The Ai

(01:23:08):
stuff was probably the work of the devil, if not
Stephen King. Yeah, I was ready. I mean flip. I'm
haunted by it. But it's the perfect plot for a
horror story. That you've got to possessed pillow. You probably
could get it to don't do this, Dan, but you
probably get the jet GPT to get do a scary,
scary story about a pillow, incorporate incorporating the light. I'll

(01:23:30):
of your a ride. The last line when the sun
rose the next day, the apartment was silent. The pillow
lay innocently on the bed, stained but still inviting, waiting
for the next sole to forget that some things are
better left untouched. So the last line that wrecks it, Dan,
and I having a bit of a diss because I

(01:23:50):
understand says the pillow lay innoctantly on the bed, stained
but still inviting, waiting for the next sold to forget
that some things are better left untouched. She had left
it untouched though. Sixty nine forty four you said it Allkin,
break is over, Mel, that's to score sixty nine forty four.
The breakers are leading. So she did try and change
the plow case. So yeah, that's the situation that plow Kilder.

(01:24:14):
I was sort of reading it and trying to understand
at the same time. It's a lot to take. In
thirteen to eleven, Nigel, it's Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 19 (01:24:24):
The young man, Marcus, are you good?

Speaker 5 (01:24:28):
Thank you?

Speaker 19 (01:24:29):
Oh that's good now. Yeah, put a tack on the
yes column for guy Fox for me. And you know
that song? Is it The Elephas Gerald?

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
Yes? The record the Elephants Gerald?

Speaker 5 (01:24:46):
Yep?

Speaker 19 (01:24:48):
Do you like only hearing it on the night of
the anniversary.

Speaker 8 (01:24:55):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
I like to have the part.

Speaker 8 (01:24:57):
I like to.

Speaker 2 (01:24:59):
Have things that I honor during a year to show
me the progress of time. So I like I think,
well feel some warns all it must be about time
to play the record the ele Fitzgerald. It was a
Gordon light for that song my day he wrote it
and sang it?

Speaker 19 (01:25:19):
Yeah, Oh did he write it and sing it?

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
So is a singer songwriter died last year?

Speaker 19 (01:25:27):
I think, and is he is his nationality Canadian copy
that yep? Or this season American?

Speaker 2 (01:25:35):
No, he is I think very much a Canadian, that
beloved Canadian. He is a beloved And I don't think
anyone knew much about the Van Fittzger until he wrote
that song about it.

Speaker 19 (01:25:48):
And what's the date we celebrate the anniversary commemorate?

Speaker 2 (01:25:52):
I guess it's the word. I think it's Monday. So
it's the November November tenth on it Sunday, Yeah, that's right,
it's on a weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:26:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:26:04):
And the following day we've got no him of the eleventh?
Does that ring bells to you? What days? That? What days?

Speaker 11 (01:26:10):
That to you?

Speaker 2 (01:26:11):
Has armistice to do or something correct?

Speaker 19 (01:26:14):
Correct? The end of World War One?

Speaker 5 (01:26:16):
Isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:26:17):
It was a guess for me, Well, I'm trying to think.
I sort of trying to think what must have happened
that day?

Speaker 6 (01:26:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
Yeah, nineteen eighteen Germany signed the armistice with the Allies
and a railroad car and a railroad car in the forest.
Uh huh.

Speaker 19 (01:26:37):
Different ending to that war to World War two eight,
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:26:41):
Quite different. Yeah, so, mind you, I think probably when
it comes to the ending of wars, Nigel, people aren't
working out how the wars ended. They're probably just happy
for the fact they have ended.

Speaker 11 (01:26:53):
I think.

Speaker 19 (01:26:54):
Yeah, but this war and Israel are having that's never
going to end. Can you see that war ending?

Speaker 12 (01:27:00):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
I can't see a permanent solution anytime soon though. That
would be the answer to that one.

Speaker 19 (01:27:10):
And the one between Russia and Ukraine that will be
in one day or that go on forever.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
I think that will be. I think that will end
within twelve months.

Speaker 19 (01:27:21):
Only if Donald Trump, when the presidential there's.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
A I think there's all sorts of ways for that
to end.

Speaker 19 (01:27:28):
You know how if President Trump is not going to
supply money and bombs to the Ukraine, if he's president,
he's going to just cut them off, So that means.

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
There's probably all sorts of other countries and work around.
I know that the Australians are sending all their old tanks.

Speaker 5 (01:27:48):
There, are they? Ye?

Speaker 19 (01:27:51):
I don't know that, but they've got and the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:54):
Old ones are going. I mean, what do you do
with old tanks? Give them to the Ukraine?

Speaker 19 (01:27:58):
Yeah, why not? Why not put them to good use?
Put them to good use the Marcus.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Nice to talk, Nigel, thank you. Nine away from eleven.
What a bunch of winses on well in my seventies,
enough to see young people having fun. Listen to some callers,
you'd think the idea of good days was so wonderful.
Give me the present day with all the mod cons
Marcus regarding as straw the pillow. The woman did touch

(01:28:24):
the pillow. She took it out of the case, and
she saw all the scary faces on it. She had
exposed the pillow, and I assume she fell out the pillow.
To her her demise, yes she had, she had separated it.
It's a very good story, but so terrifying that there
could be faces on your pillow, underneath the pillow cover.
Talking to you, Marcus earlier this evening, I'd circled Friday

(01:28:47):
on the calendar, sure that you'd be mentioning the Edmond Fitzgerald.
I'll be listening, Sue from christ Church. Yes we will
play it. And why if we get chet Gpt to
write a story about it and then Platt backwards. There
has been a remake made of the Day of the
jack or that movie from seven three, nineteen seventy three,

(01:29:08):
Frederick Frederick for Scyth. Gosh, the seventies and the eighties
were the golden time of movies, weren't they was so good?
If I say some names of movies from the end,
the Day of the Jackal, French Connection, all those ones
so good. Anyway, they've remade that. They said, it's very,
very good, the remake. If you remember the Day of
the Jackal, it was the assassination of a world leader,

(01:29:31):
and he did it dressed as an old vet, going
to commemoration with the firearm and the crutch reassembled it
from the tower. Even on TV might have even been
black and white. It's still held. So I am talking
about that tonight. Welcome three quarter time in the basketball.
The Breakers already four Melbourne fifty two, so a very

(01:29:56):
strong match there. They came out firing and have led
by about this amount the whole time. Marcus, I watched
my pillows weekly and replace them annually. I'm an asthmatic
and allergic to dust mites. I reckon, having thought about
it a bit tonight, they're onto a good thing that

(01:30:17):
pillow manufactures, because there's probably plenty of things that people
I mean, if you have a bad night's sleep, your
trying to change anything. So I imagine people probably will
be trying to change their pillows to see if that's
what it is. Yeah, So there we go on about
pillows tonight. Also how often do you change them? And
Guy Fawkes fireworks tomorrow if someone wanted to know, is
a very good question asked earlier on I hope the

(01:30:37):
guy's still listening. The question is why does so many
countries begin with the letter A thought that was a
good question. And the one other thing that I've been
thinking about today as well as the cities or countries,

(01:31:07):
how long did it take to build the Pyramids? Because
reading someone thought it took like six thousand years. Yeah,
I'd like to Yeah, I'd like to read an authoritative
book on the Pyramids if I am in fascinated by

(01:31:31):
the research on it. Because it's two and a half
million blocks a weigh two tons each. I don't know
how big the workforce was because you can't just create
a workforce. I think it was when one year they

(01:31:53):
got a surplus on the Nile, a surplus, an economic surplus.
They had to spare money and they could do something
with it. I suppose we've got a surplus together, invade
other countries or build a pyramid. I think it'd be
a very interesting book to be written about that. I
don't know what that book is now. But they reckon

(01:32:15):
the number of people. Well, the Greek historian here at
Otis thought it was one hundred thousand people, but modern
Egyptologists believe the figure to be more twenty thousand to
thirty thousand. That's all of Timidou, yep. So your whole

(01:32:37):
life would be about building that. The evidence indicates they
were probably paid and well fed. There you go, yep,

(01:32:58):
although they couldn't find one guy said it would be
one hundred thousand slaves, but they could find no accommodation
for them. Marcus, all the continents start and end with
A except Europe. Well, no, it's interesting because all the
continents start and end with the same letter, including Europe. Marcus.
I find it hard. It's hard to find a pillow
that keeps its shape for a year. So I know

(01:33:21):
how often what's the rule for changing your pillow?

Speaker 6 (01:33:23):
Did it?

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
Chet GPT say hell no, that we're going back to
check one or two years. That's what everyone seems to say.
I don't think people do it. A lot of that's
marketing too. I think looks like the breakers will win
less than a minute left to go one hundred and
thirteen seventy seven there over Melbourne. That was easy work,
easy work. They're made of that one. That's a that's

(01:33:44):
a smoking' Ray. It's Marcus welcome.

Speaker 8 (01:33:47):
Good even Marcus?

Speaker 5 (01:33:48):
How he is good?

Speaker 2 (01:33:49):
Thanks?

Speaker 11 (01:33:50):
Ray?

Speaker 8 (01:33:51):
Yeah, I reckon the novel. He's gone off about this
guy falks.

Speaker 5 (01:33:55):
And going on.

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
How long has it been going? How long has it
been going on?

Speaker 8 (01:34:00):
For sixteen hundred or something that he joined of payment
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
So that's been going. Yeah, but I guess each person. Yeah,
it was sixteen sixteen o five, so four hundred and
nineteen years.

Speaker 5 (01:34:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:34:19):
I mean in the younger days, it was good for
kids here when they need to make up the guys
and all that and take them down the wheelbarer there
and everything in the little towns and the fiber gate.
You to make a big bonfire and all that, and
the kids had their crackers and all that sort of stuff.
But now these days that they bought these things here

(01:34:40):
and they're not sitting them off on the day. They're
sitting them with any day they like me. And it's
scared hell out of the cats and dogs and the
ten I know where where we have a fiber gate
here they have a thing here and make all here,
and it's it's good there and they they do it

(01:35:01):
all all under supervision and all that for the fire
chief and that, and they di in the little towns.
And then they used to go around with them with
the old with the old blankets they used to have
in the army, the old great blankets, and walk around
the streets and a coin and they wasn't a gold coin,

(01:35:21):
but it was just fifty twenty seeds. And they went
towards things here for the jaws of life and all
that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:35:32):
You know, But you know much about the jaws of
life anymore? Do they still use those? Suppose they do?

Speaker 8 (01:35:37):
Oh for the kind of get people the other cars
they I don't know whether you heard on the thing
there that up in the region there the other day
they had the hundred and fiftieth thing there and emit
fortunes there. They they're the old old forager and they
had an old car up there, and they used to

(01:35:58):
DAWs the life and cut of open.

Speaker 5 (01:36:00):
Would they the.

Speaker 2 (01:36:01):
Cars are a lot finner now they wouldn't need the
jaws of life as much. But in the day when
they first came out, that was shoot ja was other
jewels of life. They always were rick jews of life.

Speaker 8 (01:36:13):
They were a great thing there when when when if
you treat on the car then you couldn't get out
there jor the life. They were a great things.

Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
Oh look, don't, I don't, I don't. I'm not going
to have it to speak that with you. I Raya
was around. We didn't dress up guys. There always sounded
a meaningness for me. In the seventies, fire crakers were unbelievable, amazing.
I loved every moment of it.

Speaker 8 (01:36:35):
We used to have to save you an't get to
save up the pennies in those days either you're get
picking the crank and here was probably about six months
or something like that. There was a lot of money
in those days. These days now you take a hundred
bucks into the in the warehouse and all that you

(01:36:56):
don't get much for a hundred bucks here, just there
sober rated. I think that's what they should just have
displayed a little to just for the for the kids here,
and maybe make make a guy an old guy in
the next section and that of light of fire, and

(01:37:18):
I think the kids will be happiest. Blasted them out
of the street, livering the.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
Street with a.

Speaker 2 (01:37:26):
Listen to you, Ray, listen to you. You've had such
a good time when he could have any fun.

Speaker 8 (01:37:31):
I'm getting a bit of a geriatric now, Marc Stagem.

Speaker 5 (01:37:36):
It was. It was cently forty years ago when I
did that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:39):
I'm thinking in a minute, just because you had all
your fun, then you can't watch say the new generations
can't have that fun.

Speaker 5 (01:37:48):
He bothered me. I stay inside and listen. Don't listen
to it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
Nice to hear from anyway. Why you take care of yourself, Marcus.
With all the interest in hype about the Melbourne Cup,
the races stopped the nation. Do you think racing is
a sunted industry? Cheers Charlie. Yeah, I certainly do. And
I think the reason we know that some horse race
the sunset industry is because you can see the tab
so desperate to get into all sort other forms of revenue. Now,

(01:38:14):
that's why they're pivoting to sports belling in such a
massive way. That's why in the halftime in the rugby
they crossed it is he dag that talks about the
TA being about odds everywhere, absolutely everywhere. Sports bedding, now,
that's why it's for because people aren't the racing industry is.

(01:38:34):
I wan, there'll be some people at the racing industry
on Christmas, the Christmas meat that's always. I mean some
of these horse racecourses down south, I mean jeeps, creepers,
it's drink till you drop, but they're busy that day,
no or maybe Easter, but the rest of the time
there's no one there. I think probably sports bedding is
a lot more appealing than race bedding. So I do

(01:38:56):
think it's a sunset industry. The dogs will gohost and
then it probably will be the harness racing, then probably
will be the gallops. It might be over twenty five
thirty years, but I think it'd become financially. It'll become
financially they just people stop going and then I'll stop betting,

(01:39:19):
and I just think it'll study phase out. I'm not
saying I don't have an opinion whether it's a good
thing or a bad thing. I'm just saying looking at it.
And every time I go to the race meets, I
go fairly often there's no one there. There's no one
young there anyway, it's a few old trainers standing around. Well,

(01:39:41):
it's enjoyable, but it's enjoyable as far as something that's
on its last leagues goes. You know, you want to
get a part of it before it's all over. Marcus
with your fast about the Pyramids, have you heard about
the one discovered an Antarctic A Google search it, Marcus,
Apparently the technology at the time of the Pyramids was
more advanced than we thought. Well, it's still a free,
basic construction. It's just block stacked high. I'll mind you.

(01:40:05):
This is an internal chambers, aren't there anyway? All the
lines are free. Twenty five past eleven, it's going to
be big tomorrow. Tomorrow it's going to be fireworks night,
live coverage of where it's happening. I don't know what's
going to happen. There will be some outrage, there always is,

(01:40:28):
And Wednesday will be the American election. We'll tell you
about what's happening there too, because that will start even
though it's the first Tuesday in November is always the
American election, it doesn't start till late. I think the

(01:40:52):
first poll start about Oh it's hard to understand, but anyway,
about seven point thirty on Wednesday, Wednesday night, we should
get a result, and then we've got sweep steak who
Ben and Paul? Is it been in Phil Ben and Paul.
Paul has drawn Kamla and the sweep steak Ben has

(01:41:16):
drawn Donald Trump. So it's a pretty easy sweepstake to
work that one. A sweep steak of two.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:41:25):
And I'm looking forward to your calls about anything at
all tonight too, Pillows, fireworks in the Melbourne Cup, three
topic night, if there is something else you want to mention.
And the Pyramids now, I think we're not going to
really know how the pyramids are built until somebody else
builds them a modern one. Oh quake tonight quite a

(01:41:46):
big job, by the way, didn't know about I forgot
that four point nine was the one set sent and
pict in fourteen thousand people reported as having felt that
final score on the basketball seventy nine to one hundred
and thirteen. By the way, with Halloween and Australia, a
lot of people dressed as ray Gun the breakdown to

(01:42:08):
which is quite fun. I enjoyed reading those stories. Get
in touch Marcus till twelve and I'll take Melbourne cup tips. Also,
you've got something to say about that good evening, Albe.
It's Marcus. Welcome hi, Albi.

Speaker 5 (01:42:24):
I can tell you there you going all right? I
got the Barnie on the beard with me as fleece
as usual.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
Is Barnie a cat or a dog or a person.
He's a big Oh sounds it sounds a very great pet,
very peaceful.

Speaker 18 (01:42:40):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:42:41):
He's beautiful for me. I started a year and a
half ago and he's so cool to me.

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
You know, I was said to hear that and the dogs.
You've had the dog for a while.

Speaker 5 (01:42:51):
Have you, ye him? He's eight and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:42:54):
Okay, it's not a new thing. Yep, you understand, Yep.

Speaker 5 (01:42:58):
I've worn him when he is there, sat two or
three months. Yes, paid one nine hundred and ninety five.
I've doal was for them? How much one thousand and
nine hundred and ninety five.

Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
If it's a lot or not much, I'm never quite
sure about how how much dogs cost.

Speaker 5 (01:43:18):
Well, you want a cure breed or you know, or
manger or whatever. You know, church, there's a lovely dogs here.
These will the way you treat them.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
Markets And what about the pyramids?

Speaker 5 (01:43:33):
Now, great mystery with the pyramids because they've built blocks
that you can't even put a human here through. And
we can't even there build those blocks like a pyramid.

Speaker 2 (01:43:52):
Are you saying, are you saying that's how close together
the blocks are?

Speaker 5 (01:43:56):
Yes, that cut undernease is a really big foundation to
hold the pyramid. And if you go further away because
no one's everyone people got buried in the firmas I haven't,
but further away from the furmas so unncovering small towns

(01:44:21):
and that and finding it, finding that necro fetua is it?

Speaker 13 (01:44:27):
Yes, Yeah, they've done here and then they can quite
road into you know, and things have been going back
even further than what we thought.

Speaker 19 (01:44:45):
Go on.

Speaker 5 (01:44:46):
Oh yeah, it's just really interesting when they go on
net documentares and how we've thought two and a half
thousand years before Christ were now there for talking about
five or ten thousand years before.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
It's amazing that so little information about them has survived.
But I wish some of these great billionaires would try
and recreate them and see how difficult it is to
make them.

Speaker 5 (01:45:18):
Well, I think that they all line up when the
stars and when the niles in the flood and from
space when the some of the solstice starts. That the
extra Perimi's got eight sides.

Speaker 2 (01:45:38):
Yes, I've seen that.

Speaker 5 (01:45:39):
Yeah, that's quite incredible, really, and.

Speaker 2 (01:45:43):
What the amazing I'll be what the amazing thing I find?
And sorry to interrupt you and Barney, but it was
the tallest structure in the world for thousands and thousands
and thousands of years until I think one of the
cathedral Saint Paul's or something came along and was taller than.

Speaker 5 (01:46:00):
It for so much. At the top of them all Thaireland,
there's a like pyramid type being built there. Have you
heard of that?

Speaker 2 (01:46:15):
No, I know there's a lot of fake that. I know,
there's a lot of Yeah, no, I haven't.

Speaker 5 (01:46:20):
A guy found it and tried to poke sticks through it.
But how Im Clark put a holt to it, because.

Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
I think it's true alb But anyway, Lincoln Cathedral was
the tallest. Yeah, the permitive Geezer was the tallest man
made structure. What's she put it? She put a halt
to it.

Speaker 5 (01:46:43):
He's tried, but the places has been in months ago there.

Speaker 2 (01:46:50):
Yeah, yeah, i'd fact checked that one albe but thank
you Lincoln Cathedral thirteen eleven. So the pyramid was the
tallest structure for three and a half almost four thousand years. Donald,
that's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 4 (01:47:08):
Okay, had you seen any these episodes of the restaurant
that makes mistakes at all?

Speaker 19 (01:47:13):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:47:13):
I haven't quite moving a. The third episode was tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
I've heard people, yeah, are quite mean.

Speaker 4 (01:47:20):
It's worth watching some of the day. It was really
it was sad in a way you feel really sad
for the people.

Speaker 6 (01:47:25):
But they did so well and.

Speaker 4 (01:47:28):
I'll be interesting comments people made it. I made a
point of watching it, and ivery was very understanding, and
there was emotional it was, you know, a little emotional
moments and were happy moments.

Speaker 5 (01:47:37):
But they did so well.

Speaker 4 (01:47:39):
It's the second series of three episodes, obviously filmed in
downtown Auckland somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:47:44):
Did the owner of the restaurant have some reason to
start that. I haven't worked out the backstory.

Speaker 5 (01:47:51):
Of it yet.

Speaker 4 (01:47:52):
No, I haven't read the background. There was only three
episodes this time. The last time, of course, they had
some of the original people turned up for meals and
if the et cetera. Hilly Barry turned up to it
that thing and was very nice, okay, and I was
just quite moving.

Speaker 19 (01:48:05):
That's all.

Speaker 4 (01:48:05):
That sort of just showed how people are and they'll
proved they can, you know, with autoitude, they can sort
of overcome rather their sort of apprehensions about things. Yeah,
do you as an Auckland, Yeah, as an Auckland that
you haven't any recall of Auckland's grand old Dameler busses
or it used to be painted lime green and they
used to fly the streets for all those yellow Mercedes

(01:48:27):
came out in the mid seventies.

Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
Yeah, I do remember the busses, but I remember certainly
when the Mercedes came along and how modern they seem.
I think it was free buses for about a week
when they first came out. I do remember the lime
green ones. I remember the trolley buses as well.

Speaker 4 (01:48:41):
Yeah, very very grand looking things, Dame, and I think
they're fully imported them in the fifties, I think from
they made one hundred and fifty. Now I recall them
when you come to Auckland. They always looked a lot
longer than Wellington buses. You know, they ended up being
painted that Idyo's two tone yellow that the Aar buses were.

Speaker 5 (01:48:55):
You know they were.

Speaker 4 (01:48:56):
They were very majestic, but they sort of caring and
orchand sort of look watched around because a small town
boy sort of thing in the big city. But the
day the mersines used to leave them behind because they
were automatic and had about double the power, you know,
now the pro bus was very slow.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
What's boude you think of buses today?

Speaker 5 (01:49:12):
What do I think of buses today?

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
What made you talk about buses today? What made you
think about that?

Speaker 19 (01:49:17):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:49:18):
I'm wondering. Oh, I've always liked buses and over the
years I've ridden in quite a few, including into cities
and all night into city driver I spoke to recently.
That comes through the mind. At night I went down
and met carry Rings after midnight, and that I wondered
what happened to the New Zealand on the bus fleet.
They had a lot of odd buses.

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
About came back England. Donald, So I just asked you,
why were you thinking about buses today?

Speaker 6 (01:49:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:49:43):
They just came to mind thinking about Auckland and that
having recalling the.

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):
Place, having seen the show based in Auckland, having to.

Speaker 4 (01:49:51):
Aukland for twenty seven years incredibly, but I used to
go up there once a year and knew the place
quite well. I know things have changed. You've got double
deckers up there now by the Roxford. I mean only
see them in Wellington. The New Zealand on the Bus
Society had a lot a big fleet of historical buses
sitting out side in the paddock where Transmission Gully starts
at the northern end of Piecock was about thirty of them.
They have different game frow back to the fifties, all

(01:50:13):
different types, and that they will now gone because they
put the motorway through, and I have no idea where
they went. They were sitting outside in the paddock at
the beginning of Transmission Gully at the Piecock weekly end
till about four or five years ago and they started
the big sloping motorway there. I have no idea where
they went. They had been moved out of a garage
in Prori and.

Speaker 6 (01:50:28):
I don't know where they went.

Speaker 4 (01:50:29):
But there was about thirty different buses about from the
fifties to about the seventies there. But I don't know
what's happened to them.

Speaker 2 (01:50:35):
On Facebook.

Speaker 4 (01:50:38):
No, I go to the computer in the library and
actually own one.

Speaker 6 (01:50:40):
I can get on and have a look.

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
I guess I think they've got a Facebook page. If
you got on there and asked them the question, they'd
probably tell you where they're Omnibus collection.

Speaker 5 (01:50:47):
Is Oh, okay, all right, I may do that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:50):
Yeah, I'll try myself when I said too, but that
might be an idea.
