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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Thursday, Good evening money, Miss Marcus Welko, and I'm glad
I've got the mic tonight because I've got a lot
to say. So I'm not sure of saying things about
the Olympics, but I spent some time in front of
the TV watching I'm going to say it the Omnibus channel,
the channel that kind of had the highlights, and I

(00:39):
feel quite strongly about this. There's too much to watch.
There's too much sport. I'm just discovering sports we haven't
seen anything of it. Feels like they need to extend
it for longer. I mean when you look at the
Women's Football World Cup we had last year, I mean
I could sit and watch all those games, right, and
that's we've got those same kind of caliber games happening
as just one of the thirty four components. I think

(01:02):
Sky needs more channels. I think it needs to be longer.
I'm just loving all of it. Picun when you get
in a situation like basketball or that three a side
romp and near those things or the beer mixing, I
could just fixate on that one sport watch it for
a week. But they have thirty four sports. Unbelievable. There's
just too much camera works. Fantastic, Paris, fantastic, all good.

(01:27):
So yeah, they're talking tonight in the New Zealany Herald
about a middle shower. I don't know if you've had
a middle shower. That's what they're talking about tonight, breaking news. Graham,
where are you.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
South and Edon? Were you go?

Speaker 4 (01:45):
We'spring possibly of an aurora at tonight was one late
last night and part of skies as I was walking
home about half past ten. Possibility there will be one tonight.
Possibility I can't confirm, but look between southeast and southwest
and you might see the sky line.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Up and for the rest of it, I'll be up,
I'll be up the hill. What's the number, Graham?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Number four?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Don't they have numbers to rate the likelihood and of
aurora on those propeller websites? You'd be into that.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
I don't have that numbers. No, I don't have internet
here at home, So okay, there will be websites out there.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
And yeah, I saw some little bit of a talk
you stayed, some shots posted from so yeah, it's a
good time, he reminded Graham, So what you're walking home
ten to thirty last night? Were you?

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yes, looking looking towards the something cross and I saw
some faint stuff display as the sky sort of closed.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
In a.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, you got good weather coming up. It's gorgeous, gorgeous
cold night and bluff. I've just come from the bluff
school quiz. Fantastic school quiz. Did kind of well. I
did the two rounds. I had to come to work.
How many black bands on Dog Island Lighthouse. It's a
good question. What's the name of the oyster boat that

(03:15):
translates as north Star name? All the streets and bluff
that begin with B, barrow, band, burrows, blackwater. I think
that's seven of them. Very good school quiz, extremely good questions. Anyway,

(03:38):
had to come away from that to go to work.
But where was I with that? Oh? Yes, but drove
to work. But later I don't know. Just a gorgeous
crisp sky, A lot of color in the sky. Looks
like the aurora might be happening, So always into that.
So yeah, and the meteorite shower also, and the middle shower.
I wonder if they've got their confused by the way
when I watched the package, the omnibus package, which all

(04:00):
the sort of collation of all the events that kind
of catch up you watch that all day, didn't really
repeat itself. I did think that that might be written
by AI to never problem with it. But something about
that seemed a bit sort of passionless, the narration. I
wonder if the voice too, was AI. I know that
we've even discussed that. I don't know if that because
I presume that's the TV they just put the packages

(04:21):
together with AI. Don't know if that's true or not,
But yes, so much great sport, Paris beautiful. How they
get all the cars out of the city. You don't
see people saying, oh, one of us, we can't get
where we need to go. Seems like the city's right
into it anyway. Enough from me, but there is the
middle shower tonight. There's going to be rowing gold after nine.

(04:46):
I'm here for you for that. One of the boys
came home from school is that we've got a middle
and the triathlized said, well, yes, we cover that at work.
I think they must have TVs at school, as they should.
They should be watching that anyway. So hopefully there's more
middles Tonight, I'm watching the Walking, which I love but

(05:09):
looks so daft and you see the beautiful city. Gosh,
you know, I think probably is a one point five
billion well spent clearing out the scene that just looks extraordinary.
Oh wow, bizarre old sport. But you can watch anything
when it comes to sport anyway. Yes, how many black

(05:33):
rings on the Dog Island lighthouse two? Three white rings?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Two?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Tallest lighthouse in New Zealand, ify I for although it's
at sea level, it's got to be tall except from
a house. That's why I kind of know. So thirteen
past eight. Look, what will do tonight is will be
a bit of There'll be a bit of the old Olympics.
You won't miss out anything by me being on here.

(05:59):
And there'll be some talk also, there'll be quite a
bit of talk. And the question I have for you
because I I've seen the full inquiry or parts of
the inquiry on these incredibly untrained people that took all
the bolts out of the pylon. Now the company that

(06:24):
was responsible for that, Goodness, gracious me, some systems have
gone wildly awry. Sand blasting distraction took supervisor's eye off
uncertified worker who wondered power pylon nuts. It's pretty much

(06:45):
what we appined from the show, and we discussed it
at length. Goodness, unbelievable. The person was meant to be
keeping either the two leiest experienced crew members who had
not received any formal training, was sand blasting one of
the tower legs. It was a job that took a

(07:06):
their attention, which meant they weren't watching when nuts from
the bolts of tower's base plates were removed. No kidding,
I think we all worked that out. It's not what
the fact they did, it's why they did it. Godness me. Anyway,
my question to you tonight, tonight tonight, what's the stupidest

(07:29):
mistake you've made at work? You'll have all done it.
But I was thinking about that today. As I thought
about this, I thought, what have I done at work?
I don't think, well, you see there you go guesse,
you push buttons wrongly. I think with a broadcast you
can't make where you can't make mistakes, you can be
hauled before the BSA. But I want to know from

(07:53):
your line of work it might have been in the
early days or recently. The greatest mistake you made, could
have been a rookie era, could have been sleeplessness, could
have been, could have been. But yeah, the great mistake
you made at work, you will have done it. You'll
reverse the tanker into a powerpole, or you will have
left the break off the breed delivery van, or you

(08:14):
will have I don't know, you've been a teacher and
you've got your videos mixed up or something. You will
have done it. So it's work mistake Thursday. Do I
think at the other jobs I did if I made
work mistakes? Why some peole got some strange walking styles anyway,

(08:36):
Oh eight hundred and eighty Italian nine nine to text
Carlott's Marcus, Good evening and welcome Ja.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
Marcus say, yeah, the old mosshabs are work. I've been
driving cartransporters for years, and yeah, I was dropping off.
I was dropping off a ninety thousand dollars jag in Hamilton,
so I think it was Ebers And I didn't put
the ramps between my tra truck and trailer to drive

(09:08):
it across, and I was just sort of just dead.
A brain flaide jumped in, went to reverse up, and yeah,
you can just imagine what happened.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Because all that looks terrifying every time I was seeing
them load up onload. I think you need to have
a massive respect for you to even get in the job.
So you're putting the jag. Were you putting the jag
on or getting it off?

Speaker 7 (09:27):
I was getting it off. I was delivering it. Your
customer was there either? They sort of they said they
seen that. Everyone seen it happen, But I was just thingful.
No one sort of. No one got their phone out
and started taking pictures.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
We were you Were you driving the car as well?
With the era with the ramp.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
I was driving.

Speaker 8 (09:47):
I was driving.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
I was unloading it, and it's like you've got your
truck and then I'm looking.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
At a I'm looking at a picture of one. There's
two units and there's ramp between them right on the top.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 7 (09:58):
And I didn't put the REMP. I didn't hould the
rem down.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
I just backed up, and.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
I think I did about a greens with the damage.
You don't you don't repair stuff on of jaggs. You've
got to get brain new everything.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
So eight greens you got off lightly. Did you keep
the job?

Speaker 7 (10:14):
I don' keep the job well.

Speaker 8 (10:16):
Lucky.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
We're fully insured.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Did ear Begs did e Beggs deploy thankfully?

Speaker 9 (10:24):
Not?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, the worst the worst thing I ever done anyway.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
And the poor guy with the brand new jag bless
him entitled. But I never feel right about the car
because I always feel like it was a car that
was dinged and repaired. A.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
Yeah, that's that's yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
He was all right.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
I probably wouldn't have been alright with it.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Michel b was all right, and you kept the job
and I kept my job.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, good story. Cal uh, mistakes at work. It's run
about tonight, eight hundred eighty your great clangers. Oh something
to remember. You locked yourself out of the student That's
a good point. That's an extremely good point.

Speaker 9 (11:07):
Thanks for that.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
I did lock myself out at work. I did also
not turn up with the key one time to drive home.
So so I've made misteaks. Thank you for keeping me humbly.
What'd you do?

Speaker 10 (11:20):
Nick?

Speaker 9 (11:23):
I was overseas in America and I was on the
wheat harvest over there, and as the second time I'd
done it, so I got I got the job of
transporting the combines all around the countryside. Wow, And Unfortunately
I went under in South Dakota. I went under an
interstate bridge that was about five inches too low, and

(11:43):
I shaved the top of the brand new John Dee
combine off.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Are you transporting more than one combine harvester at a time?
Is that what you're saying, there's more than one on
your transporter?

Speaker 11 (11:53):
No?

Speaker 9 (11:53):
I only had one, and it was a very special
one they had. They had fifty combines that this was
the only four drive one they had. So I had
to go to a particular place and so that they
were waiting for it to harvest crop. And you did
fifty thousand dollars of damage to it if it hadn't
been the four drive and it would have been a
total loss.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
What do you need a four wheel drive combine for?
Is it something gnarly?

Speaker 7 (12:17):
Gnarly?

Speaker 9 (12:19):
Yeah, it was going to Iowa and it was cutting
corn and it's quite gets quite muddy in there autumn.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Therefore, had the boss has given you a route? I mean,
could you did you have any on your side? Okay?

Speaker 12 (12:33):
Ye I had it.

Speaker 9 (12:34):
They hadn't. And this is just after I started, and
it was the very first kind of hurdle and after
it happened They said, why didn't you go down and
go down the end of stay? And there were you
turned across like where the police would turn. And I thought, well,
no one told me that, and it they had the
height on the bridge, and this is they got paid
out and I got basically got exonerated for it because

(12:55):
they'd resurfaced the road and that actually changed the height
of the road so it was lower than the sign.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
What was the experience like from the cab? It was
you start was a grinding and a noise.

Speaker 9 (13:09):
I went very slowly and I got out in my
checked when I because it was quiet.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
It wasn't you did it slowly even I did it slowly.

Speaker 9 (13:17):
Because I knew it was going to be close, right
and and but what and and I had clearance. But
the road went up, and as the went road went up,
it basically shoved the top of the combine into the
into the bridge, and then I kind of I couldn't
do anything. Then the windscreen had shattered, and so I
had to keep going, and I had dragged it out
and just took the top five inches off. It's quite embarrassing.

(13:41):
And then the worst The first person on the scene
was the local sheriff, and he was the ex husband
of the lady that owned the company. So I didn't
even get a chance to tell her because he was
on the phone straight away, laughing and having a great
old joke with her about it.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
It's quite a good job a delivering combines. I quite
like the sound of that.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
It was good.

Speaker 9 (14:02):
It was an experience I did it for. It was
the harvest was toxix. So you went and we went.
We were in North Dakota, and we went all the
way to Texas and then can't wait all the way
back to North Dakota.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh, good to every Thank you very much. The mistakes
at work, you worse mistakes, Craig Marcus.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Welcome, good Ethning. How's it going this evening?

Speaker 10 (14:22):
Good?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Thank you, Craig.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
I got three great quick ones. We'll be quick on it.
The first one was I was working at a rare
station in Hamilton. There's just opera in the studio, whether
I had a live lady out there in the interviews
around the pubs and nature in New Years, and I
didn't turn the faded down fast enough on the microphone
when someone grabbed their ass so.

Speaker 8 (14:41):
That we'd like to air.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
And then there's another station next to me, the edgeplate,
and I was playing a song and the announcer from
the other station came through me. While he was playing songs.
He goes, I like the song, so he's lots of
him talking to me. Then the studio goes quiet and
he goes, oh, crap. I had to run back to
the studio because they've gone back to just nothing, which
is a little bit embarrassing. And then the other two
quick ones was working on a farm years ago. I'm

(15:06):
bailing hay similar to what the other guy is saying,
and my boss comes running to me and waving his hand,
So I was just waving back to im, thinking who
has been friendly? Underknown? He actually dropped the cell phone
the paddock, and I proceeded run the bailor over and
put this and bail the cell phone in the mid
the little habar.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Good story, it's good story.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Did you get it out in this Yeah, we got
it out. And the other one they had contractors working
there doing some fencing, and he said to the guys,
don't pack the tractors in the paddock because there's all
pete and packet on the race. They didn't do that.
They left it and the paddic come back and they
couldn't find it was a picole in the ground just
for the empty rollbar from the track to sticking the
out of the ground. They just sunk down and the
Pete disappeared. So yeah, well, funny for us, not so

(15:46):
much funny for them though, good story.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Funny if the guy just walked around with a hay
bale news out as his phone. Nice to talk, Thanks
for that, Craig. Mistakes at work, the great mistakes. Oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty ninety nine to the text,
My name is Marcus. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome.

Speaker 13 (16:04):
Yeah, Pete, okay, Marcus, how are you good?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Pete?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (16:10):
My first day at work was engineering and I was
study on the forklift and they said the old handbrake's
not working that well. I don't know, but I didn't
coming in that bad buddy.

Speaker 15 (16:24):
Cut off the old forklift to do something and.

Speaker 14 (16:27):
I windicated, get back and jump on the forklift and
ran a little bit and entered the door through your
first day, I.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Guess it's kind of standard for your first day, isn't it.
To wreck something? It seems like everyone's job kind of
checked out where they really want you or not.

Speaker 15 (16:43):
A well, in some ways they should have known been
they should have made they should have had they had
a sort of a maintenance guy there. They should make
sure because he dicking hair, he's jumping on those forklifts
and engineering firms a lot of times, and so really
I think they learned from that going onwards. They sort
of made sure that the hand brakes were working on
the on the vehicles.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Tony, it's Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 16 (17:06):
There you go.

Speaker 17 (17:09):
Yeah, when I was younger, I used to drive Forecliffs
and every morning we used to fill up our gas
tanks at the filling station. And I connected the hose
up to the gas bottle and was fulling up and
then I got distracted from from the one of the

(17:31):
truck driver was coming and he was telling me how
manys he wanted on the back of his truck and that,
and then I went back to the forklift and then
I forgot it was connected, and I just drove.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
Wolf and.

Speaker 18 (17:45):
The hose had just snapped off from the tank and
it was just waving around like a big snake, you know,
and all the gas was coming out, and I I
just streaked out and the boss came running out and
he was standing there yelling, and then he ended up
getting in there and turning the gas off. But oh man,

(18:08):
that was the freaky ones.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
It the I wonder what the listeners from that don't
get distracted. I suppose a.

Speaker 17 (18:15):
You know what that was that you're getting distracted and
then you know, like and then just dumping back on
the fork cliff and going over to get him some
boos and forgetting about it.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Hey, you know, I could see what I could see
myself doing that, Tony. Nice to hear from. It seems
like most of them are vehicle related, which is interesting
eight hundred and eighty nine. Interesting enough in the walking race,
they've got people on rollerblades. It might be their job
to tap people that break into a run, as you
would markets. Marcus, welcome, good evening.

Speaker 12 (18:47):
I just work for Hats Motors Forward which is now
called bay Ford, and that was non Haitis Street now
Marcus give him. Munson was my boss. He sold three
cars on a Wednesday, Thursday Friday.

Speaker 19 (19:02):
Guess guess what I did in the summer station.

Speaker 12 (19:07):
I put the diesel.

Speaker 9 (19:09):
Oh yeah, okay, the whole three I.

Speaker 12 (19:12):
Throwed them up with a hundred one hundred dollars. There
was a girl that was there, and I had the
hospital and I told you, I reread the diesel and
did the petrol. I did the petrol cat and I
stuck the diesel and I pushed Phil and then Kevin
came down his mark, well not bloody diesel digel. So yeah,

(19:36):
that was the first time. And then Thursday.

Speaker 19 (19:41):
I did the same thing.

Speaker 20 (19:43):
I didn't.

Speaker 12 (19:44):
I didn't fill up the cars anymore.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I got your cheek before you did it.

Speaker 12 (19:52):
Well, I didn't realize.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I just.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
I just didn't.

Speaker 12 (19:59):
And there's always, it's always. I'm always viberate. There's a
lot of cardealers that did that.

Speaker 11 (20:06):
Becau.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Nice to hear from you, Mark, Thank you. I haven't
got to the text, no doubt there will be plenty
of good ones, and I will get to them before
too long. If you're looking for sport to watch, I
enjoy watching the walking, the French streets, beautiful the cobbles.
I got that tower.

Speaker 12 (20:25):
Mike.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's Marcus. Good evening, and welcome, good evening, Marcus. How
a good thank you Mike.

Speaker 9 (20:31):
Oh good Yeah.

Speaker 21 (20:32):
Thirteen years ago, twenty eleven, in between jobs, he'll do
something different. I'm in the city here, so I'll go
farming for three months. And I went down to Taranaki
and I was on a farm five hundred cows for
three months. It was hard work and the finished they
drive off in winter and the neighbor, the neighboring farmer

(20:55):
poached me. He's handed me and said, right, you come
and work for me, because he's heard that I'd worked
pretty hard.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 21 (21:01):
So I'll go over and I'm on his farm and
he goes right, took the bucket off the front of
the tractor and put on the spikes. Said I've got
a whole lot of hay bales in the bar and there.
I want you to shift those over to this other
storage area.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
So and I go.

Speaker 21 (21:16):
But top of the top of the near the roof
was a hay bale, but one of those those round
plastic wrapped hay bales.

Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yep, you got.

Speaker 21 (21:23):
You go on the tractor and you've got the spikes,
so you drive up, you spike the bail and then
lifted off and I forgot to drop it. So I
back out with the haybale high up in the air,
tore it back out through the door and tore off
the front of the bar.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
So yeah, I think we're all laughing because we can
all see ourselves doing you'd be sort of worried about reversing.
You forget to take it down.

Speaker 22 (21:46):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, well you're Fortunately it's hard to get good farm workers,
so he probably uh, he probably turned a blind eye
to that, did he.

Speaker 21 (21:57):
Yeah, they're pretty handy at repairing things, the old farmers. Yeah,
that's just all in the day's work. That's yeah, part
of the course.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Because my first thought would be I'm not going to
tell them, but I suppose you had to. It was
quite obvious had that conversation going made I've just taken
your Yeah.

Speaker 21 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, like I say, it's patholic. Was ah, yeah, okay, right,
we'll get there fixed up.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Move keep going.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
It's a special temperament to be a farmer.

Speaker 19 (22:25):
Mike.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Nice to hear from you. Thank you for that the
great work. Mistakes you've made and you will have made
some most of it seems to be with people with
machinery and farming. There's a trouble with radio. There's not
much you can do. Although I did lock myself out hurrah,
and I didn't forget my card. Basically, as long as
you turn up, you're just about right. As long as
you turn up and you don't liable anyone, you do

(22:46):
pretty well in radio. It's not one of those jobs
you can make great mistakes. That'd be my take anyway.
So the wee yeah, work horrors, I suppose is the
name of the topic. I wonder what they are.

Speaker 23 (23:06):
Or yours are?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Someone's texted Apparently the gold medals have parts of the
Eiffel Tower and them Hello a week ago called We've
been banging on. That's the most exciting thing about it.
They've all got them, the gold, silver, and bronze.

Speaker 18 (23:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
A lot of people saying what, oh, yes, someone said that.
I'll actually read that. I wouldn't normally read this, Dennis,
but I think it actually shut sums it up, Marcus.
Let's hope the medal shower is a golden shower. That's
some Dennis. That's quite clever because you hopefully there's gold.
So yes, that's yeah. I thought there slightly blue that text.
I'm seeing what you're saying, George Marcus. Welcome, Welcome.

Speaker 11 (23:52):
I got two quick ones, one that I did and
one that was done to me. Although I think accidentally.
When I was about seventeen, I had a Christmas holiday
job in a soft drink factory called Dixon's Cordials and
Paris the North, and you could drink as much lemonade

(24:12):
as you liked, or you know, soft drink. In the
places you liked. You could take stuff and at very
cheap prices. But anyway, in my wisdom, I decided that
the drinks and the fridge weren't cool enough. I decided,
in my young wisdom, why don't I turn the thermometer up?

(24:32):
And I also stacked my fridge up with all the
drinks that I liked and take out all the ones
that I didn't like, which is what I did. And
then I went home along with everybody else. Well, as
you can already see, that was not a good idea,
because I turned it up to freeze and he's a
glass bottle, and overnight they all exploded and it was

(24:55):
your drinks. Yeah, well, wasn't that. They didn't know it
was me. They thought that the stead had gone folding,
but the floor was covered multi colored soft drink.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I got myself out. I put something in the freezer
to cool it down. In the Harriet, it's never because
you always always forget about it.

Speaker 11 (25:12):
Yep, I'll give you another one. Well, I worked and
then I got a job in telecom as a technician,
and so we're in the workshop and we have I
suppose caught tins of paint, and we had prepare coat,
which was a gun, a gray undergoat used for absolutely
everything in the potalus. And we had a drill press

(25:35):
with a big motor on it, and we had this
paint stress. You can take the lid off your big
tin of paint, and this steo was basically a piece
of brazen wire with a triangle shape at the bottom,
which you put in and you turn the drill on
drill press on very slowly, and then it just stirred
the paint.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
When we're there so far, yep, I'm visualizing it.

Speaker 11 (25:58):
I get this brand new tet of paint absolutely fall.
I take the lid off, I set it on the
tray on the drill press. I left the drills up.
I've got this steer sitting in the in the you know,
in the press and the drill. And one of the
rules of the workshop was you always put the belts
at the top on the lowest gear before you leave

(26:19):
the workshop. It was a standard rule with everybody. If
you ever use a drill, you set it down to lowest.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Understand.

Speaker 11 (26:27):
So I'm presuming that this drill is set on the lowest,
as was the standard. So I put the paint, lower
it down or lift up the tray so that the paint.
You know, at this point, the paint gone.

Speaker 24 (26:41):
Couple of quick stories yep, yep, And I go and
press the start button and the paint comes out like
a spray can because it's on the highest.

Speaker 11 (26:52):
It's sitting on six thousand rpm, and this paint comes
out as like a spray gun. I was wearing a dart,
a coat and glasses and I got carvered and paint
from chest upwards because that was the height of the
drill press. And it spread itself around the whole of
the workshop, the tools, the windows, the walls and wow.

Speaker 9 (27:17):
The gray gun well the beaches and everything.

Speaker 11 (27:20):
And I went to the door and I thought, one
look at this. I go, I need help. I went
to the door of the workshop opened up, and the
two other trainings that were there looked at me and
I just went with my finger, come please. They looked
at the windows which has suddenly gone through a gray
shade and realized, Oops, and we've never used so much

(27:42):
turpentine to.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Get it off.

Speaker 11 (27:45):
We did, but a huge job.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Nice to hear from your great stories. Go Roberts, Marcus.

Speaker 25 (27:53):
Welcome here, you know, Marcus, how are you?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Oh good, thank you rob thanks for asking.

Speaker 25 (27:57):
Good good, good, Look I'm here in the man were
two and there was this registered home killed butcher hell
and the the guy so you know, this guy you know,
has a has a chat to the to the video. Yeah,
well we'll we'll we'll come out and drop the beast

(28:20):
and and the biddy panic and winch it up and
so that's all right, say scends out as worker. Yeah,
and they got to a just just out of Fielding.
There's a little village chouten him and the worker goes
out there with with all the gear, the winch and
in the vehicle. Yeah he and he drops a biddy
sire ball with thousands of dollars. But it was yeah,

(28:46):
it was a pan couple over and I was supposed
to drop us there.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 25 (28:57):
But it's surprisingly that happens that happens off.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
It must be this must be the one that's the
only beast here.

Speaker 9 (29:06):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 25 (29:09):
Yeah, so that was the story going wen. Look, it
reminds me of that Billy T. James skit from from
back of the eighties where where the guy comes out
and Billy T. James has spray painted the Porsche and
the guy goes, I said the porch, what was the value, what.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Was the value done to be worth be worth big money?

Speaker 25 (29:34):
That was yeah, yeah, sire sire balls, Yeah yeah, they're
worth a fortune.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 26 (29:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (29:41):
So so that was.

Speaker 25 (29:42):
It's a very well known area, the chelting them cholting
them up to Combolton. It was called Millionaires alleyway way
back in the day. And a lot a lot of
the farms have still got all the all the little
pens with with the covered yards where they used to
have the options for the rams.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
Sure, and yeah, that was that was.

Speaker 25 (30:04):
Real big in the day.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
This is there's no way back from that one, is there.

Speaker 8 (30:10):
That is certainly not.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Good to hear from your good stories. Good stories, James Marcus,
good evening.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Hey Marcus.

Speaker 10 (30:21):
So when I was younger, I was I was working
in Europe and I was working for a stockbroking firm,
just entering the sales and making sure the money went everywhere,
you know, not too hard. But they had a couple
hundred billion dollars and it should have gone to Switzerland.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
It went to Sweden instead. Wow, we can solved for
us to find that money. But there was a lot of.

Speaker 10 (30:47):
Investigation as to where a couple hundred billion dollars had
gone cheaper.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
And you've got s W I confused with s W E.

Speaker 26 (30:55):
It was is W and SR.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
One for Sweden and one for US Switzerland.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
How long ago are we talking?

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Ninety nine? Nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Okay, there's not punch cards, but it's not the modern computers.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
No, it's the pieces. We had decent PCs on idea.
So it was keying in.

Speaker 10 (31:14):
But yeah, I keeped the wrong one and for a
week and a half they were missing a couple hundred
billion dollars out of their fund account.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
They hadn't spent it this week.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
They no, they didn't, well know when you were kind
of change it does have the right code neat.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, that's the story. Thank you, James, Peter Marcus welcome, Hi,
Peter High Marcus.

Speaker 27 (31:37):
Marcus.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
How are you?

Speaker 16 (31:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Good, Thanks Peter.

Speaker 27 (31:41):
Yeah, I've done a lot of things at the time,
and broken off stuff. But this isn't out that made
of mind who had an unfortillard accident for the work.
I was having a plant with them down with the
Greater Point Kevin and Wellington.

Speaker 11 (31:54):
One day.

Speaker 27 (31:55):
Don't stay, don't stand to the left of me. We're
in the urinal. And I said, why is that? He said,
So I looked down and I said, oh, good god,
what what's wrong with that? I was trying to sip
it seen And he says, oh, well, look, you better
come and buy your beer. So what had happened is
he was working in an aluminium pressing place where they
did aluminium sleeves and different bits and pieces. And he goes, well,

(32:20):
I was there one day and I was late for
work and I forgot to bring my overall. So borrow
a set of ovals from a cobber and Micobber was
about three sizes bigger than me. And I was operating
the squeeze pressenter she comes down and drags it through,
and he said, as I was doing, I didn't even think,
he said, but I leaned him too close, and I
came down and grabbed the front of my overalls and
grabbed my bits at the front.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Wow, and put a hole in the put a hole
on the side of it.

Speaker 28 (32:46):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 27 (32:49):
To the press. And before he passed out, he was
just managed at the stop button and he fell to
the ground. And he came to in the hospital and
he said it was in the shape of an ice block.
And he said, and he says, his eyes blazed over,
but they had to they couldn't splint it or anything.
But yeah, it was the most horrible thing I've ever seen,

(33:11):
and the worst accident, he said. They said, I couldn't
believe I've done it. And I said to him, I said, hey,
you get on, you know now, it said, Robert, you
know I've got a girlfriend, is right, it's okay. When
the bloods running, it's not a good thing to happen.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
What a story. And they'll grit up all there at
the grid point teven of all places.

Speaker 27 (33:34):
But I couldn't believe, he said. The nurses didn't want
to do They couldn't splinter or anything.

Speaker 28 (33:37):
And you said, they had.

Speaker 27 (33:38):
Painkiller and they had a catheter or some damn think
that he was sort of took them weeks to come right.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Good conversation. Good conversation start at the rhinal though, isn't it.

Speaker 27 (33:49):
Oh mate, don't don't look down.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Don't nice to hear from you. Peter, thank you. We
just had to kick off the middle shower with the
women's double skull final. Lucy Spores Brook Francis at nine
to eighteen will bring you that. We're talking work mistakes,
rit ats Marcus, good evening.

Speaker 28 (34:06):
Evening.

Speaker 8 (34:07):
Marcus. Well, it was sort of a bit of a
mistake and and sort of a bit of trying to
get the job done. So I was back at the
dairy farming days and finished milking and men my brother
just done the beat round the farm to just check
the spring and all the cows that are going to
calve shortly. And it was wet and stuff like that.
We had basically straight freezing cows and we get down

(34:30):
there and now stop, we're pretty quiet. We used to
carry a rope of two eyes on the end of
it with a bit of seat out materials spliced into it,
and you'd hooked that on the carved calf foot coming
out of the back of the cow and you could
pull the calf out and get the calf out. So
it was a vital to that we had on the
four wheeler. So this cow was down by the fence line.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
Light they do.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
We go over there. It's boundarfteen seven wire high tensile
with an electric out rugger. She's lying there and of
course there's not enough room to get purchase. Put the
rope around you and get purchase on it. And I said,
my brother, I'll shoot. I'll get down underneath the fence
and down the drain bank so I can get weight
on it. So I do this, and you're sort of

(35:14):
basically in an ab sailing position. And they were quite
decent sized feet and this is like a six hundred
and fifty cow kilo cow. And as I was putting
the rope through, my brother said, oh, put it under
the bottom wire, because it was a seven wire fence
and the wires are quite close together. So I do that,
put a bit of pressure on, and of course there's

(35:34):
pain associated with that. And I'd gone through a cuddy
grass bush as it was. She sees the rustling of
the cuddy grass bush and the pain and thinks it's
a predators. So she just jumps to her feet. And
there was a lot happened in these next few seconds
of my life.

Speaker 26 (35:52):
All of a.

Speaker 8 (35:53):
Sudden, I'm just upended. The rope had condensed my gum
boot at the bottom of my leg, so it wouldn't
come free. I can remember just going through the cuddy
grass bush and the last thought was turning your head
to the side, otherwise one of these wires is going
to take your nose off. I was threw under the
fence before I knew it. I was sixty meters out

(36:16):
into the paddock through martin cowshit and all sorts. My
brother sort of he's sort of standing there and shop
and sort of not yeah, and then I start yelling
out to him, and of course once he knew I
was all right, it was of great entertainment to him.
But yeah, the animals settled down and I just I
had cuts and all sorts and pampas and I was

(36:40):
in the state. But we got the calf out was
a bull calf sixty kilos. But yeah, that whole story
could have before I hadn't to put them followed the
advice and put the rope underneath. You've got to matchine
high tensile wire would have been a leg either side,
six hundred and fifty kilo cow. Yeah, it was entertainment.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Pretty gnarly anyway, So how so was the How was
was the rope around your back? Why could you not
release the rope?

Speaker 8 (37:12):
Yeah? Yeah, you sort of like a picture like ab
sailing you just yeah, And as she got up and slid,
it sort of just collected the top of my gun
boot and just you know, you can imagine a gum
boot all compressed, Yeah, sort of. Yeah, and that's and
and it was all on. I was I was nothing,

(37:33):
and she was she was off and there that was yeah,
it was it was. It could have been a Westpac
job that one, I think, but it turned out all
right in the end.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Cow was good.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
So so you kind of dragged feet first.

Speaker 23 (37:47):
Were you?

Speaker 14 (37:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (37:49):
Yeah, So it just sort of flipped as I was
down the drain bank. It's sort of I just fell
backwards when she got up and yeah, and then bomb
she went forward and they are very powerful animal. And yeah,
once she sort of settled down and and I could
have regathered myself. You've got the carps all alive.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
And yeah, it was grazes for you. Those stitches nothing broken.
You didn't bang into the fence, you went under it.
That's the lucky thing. Isn't it get shock either?

Speaker 6 (38:21):
No?

Speaker 8 (38:21):
I didn't get the electric shop. But yeah, if I
hadn't put that, i'd put the rope through like a
couple of wires up that quite close to you. Yeah,
it could have well, I wouldn't have had a lot
of kids.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
I don't think it could have skinned your face, couldn't
It could have kind of decapitated you.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
Yeah, yeah, like because she she was not stopping and
like those wires I think got the high tensile wives
about two thousand kilo breaking strain or something like that.
There was wire screeching, staples flipping out and mud and
cow shit. No, yeah, it was a festival.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
I don't I don't reckon your farming days would have
been the same, since were they? It's like I said,
it's because you know, you'd always been a bit gun shy,
wouldn't she You wouldn't go back and do that again?

Speaker 8 (39:05):
No, No, not in that particular like the same process again,
but not in that particular sort of fashion, as you
know what I mean. It sort of just because she
was hard up against the fence. The's sort of why
I had to do that. And they do that for
a shelter. Think it's just one of the yes traits
that they've got has been a world Animal in the
past that year, But no, it was. It could have

(39:28):
been could have been lethal that it would have been funny, like.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Good story, Red extremely good story. We've got rowing the
sarro got the middle shower. Bring you the details where
it's happening in the World's twenty The Woman's twenty k
walk heartbreaking, the pill to get tapped out because they're
breaking into a run and whatever. But I think the
woman from China is leading. I think there's then a
Portuguese woman. I think in Australia is the third. It's

(39:57):
quite hard race walking because it's hard to catch up.
You can't break into a sprint. You want to talk
about racewalking? Do you make?

Speaker 29 (40:05):
Yeah? Brought back some memories when you mentioned it. Where
in nineteen six I was working after school in a
grocery shop in harbor A Maypole number three and we
were down our staff member because somebody had left, and
they took a bit of time finding or getting a replacement.
And I turned up one day and the boss said, oh,

(40:27):
this is the new replacement, and the introduced it and
took hands and I'm out the back weighing out the
flower and the sugar thinking I know that face. Where
do I know that pace from? And in those days,
of course, no tally all the Olympics were filmed and
if you wanted to see the Olympics you went to
the movies two weeks later and they actually was like

(40:49):
screening a movie and you saw all the events. And
of course this guy's name was Norman Reid and I
had a gold medal in the nineteen fifty six raid walking.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah, well they call them called him smile, they call
them smiley readers. A pretty happy, go lucky guy.

Speaker 29 (41:05):
Was it was name was Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he
was heah, it was a real neat guy and he
was are you really good to work with?

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Did they get you walk? Do they get you out walking?

Speaker 6 (41:16):
No?

Speaker 29 (41:16):
No, no, it's not something that I wanted to do.
We had a walking trap in Harward, but no, I
prefer to plant or run.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
It's quite elegant. But now it's a good story. Make
thank you for that. Not a workplace incidant. But something
happened in the workplace at nine fourteen, how far away
from me down with three minutes from the start of
the rowing three and a half are they can you say,
are they starting out, can you see the boats the skiffs?
Can you see them on the water? Gay Shah, Marcus welcome.

Speaker 28 (41:45):
I'm Marcus.

Speaker 23 (41:46):
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Shit?

Speaker 28 (41:49):
There, I was podcasting in my own country where I
come from, and I was, you know the old days.
There were sound operators in his control room and the
news reading an answer on the other side. We're doing
the quick five minutes early news, and the announcer wanted
to cough and gave me the sign that wants to cough,

(42:12):
and I caught the whole news program and played newsic
and carried on. Because we had the vice president for
political affairs, I was expecting a call from him, but
nothing happened. And another time I played the national anthem
and the double speed.

Speaker 23 (42:29):
And keep.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
You didn't lose your job either time, Shah.

Speaker 11 (42:33):
No.

Speaker 28 (42:34):
In fact, I was on the air to the last
minute of revolution of Iran.

Speaker 11 (42:38):
I was.

Speaker 28 (42:39):
I left after I was working at that very night
that when the military gave up and the new you
know revolutionis were coming to the broadcast compound that I left,
so to the very last minute, I was dead.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Wow, this extraordinary story shot. Thank you so much for that.
At sixteen past nine, we're just about to go to
the rowing. I'll bring it that a woman from China
was just run the one that race walk so that
was exciting, pure for cobbled streets. Anyway, I'll change channels
and I'll bring you the wrong. What we'll do is
we'll bring you this. This is a medal that this
is the one we're gonna get the medal, Dan, what

(43:14):
do you think this is like a sert for us?

Speaker 30 (43:17):
Brook Francis, Lucy Spores. They've got their noses in front.
Can they maintain the lead? Half a boat length? Francis
Spores gold Beckons for the New Zealand women's double skulls
Lucy Spores, Brook Francis down to the line.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
That's gold, gold for New Zealand.

Speaker 30 (43:40):
Francis and Spores. They were both after one better than
the silver that they achieved in Tokyo in different events
and now they are gold together.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
Just to confirm, that's our second gold medal of the Games.
Women's double skull Lucy's Spores and Brook Francis. Romania came back.
Romania led for the first five and they gave back strong.
There's probably only a meter in it towards the end.
So that's the first gold medal, calling this the medal shower.
We'll go at three or four. There's four races, four
finals of rowing. The New Zealand is in contention obviously

(44:14):
for medals, so we'll bring you those. The majority of
those the races, they look ecstatic lying down in the
boat celebrating spent. Yeah, it looked exhausted. So that's a
situation too. So they didn't get a great start. They
were behind five hundred thousand meters, but just slowly on
the last thousand meters caught them up. So that's a situation.
Just to confirm gold medal.

Speaker 30 (44:35):
And the key week duo of Robbie Manson and Jordan
Powry will cross in sixth spot.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
Just to confirm sixth place there for the for the
double skulls, the men's double skulls final Robbie Mentz and
Jordan Barry.

Speaker 19 (44:49):
But just to.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Tell you that in the women's double skulls just ten
minutes ago, Lucy Spores and Brook Francis got gold. Will
take the next race, which is the women's fours. That
will be at ten to ten and that's looking like
a metal prosper as well. Mark, we're talking about bad
things in the workplace.

Speaker 17 (45:09):
What did you do?

Speaker 16 (45:12):
Yes on a retired railway Yep, how I'm a retired
railway man and this was a few years ago back
now with one Saturday afternoon, I was on the refueling
and preparing locomotives shift so little loco. Anyway, two engines

(45:34):
come in and the crew get off and we take over.
My mate and I. We took the locomotives up to
the fuel bay. My job was to connect the fuel hoses.
They're a scow on tiber fitting and a fairly heavy
sort of hose. And anyways, attached the fuel hoses swishing

(46:00):
on the pump, and then went around the other side
to check the atue the water. A bit of a
tidy up. We finished, We wrote down how much fuel
each logo had taken. So then I went around the
other side and hand signaled my mate to to move forward.

(46:23):
And once we got to the the road that we
were going to put the logos on, I told them
to stop. Then we set hand signaled them to set
back back towards the depot, and we came back in
and shut the engines down and I screwed the handbrakes

(46:48):
and on went around the other side of the fort
one are those fits of rubber doing hanging off the
side of the locos And I suddenly realized that forgotten
the run through the fuel holders.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (47:03):
Yeah. Then we had a supervisor who I didn't get
off with very well. But in all fairness to him,
he just said, looked at me, mumbled a bit, then
picked up the phone, rang up the fishers and said,
come down to the fuel bait. Who's the chap hears

(47:25):
pulled the fuel hoses.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Off, so what was the damage? There was no spillage.
It was just the damage of the hoses right.

Speaker 16 (47:33):
Well, they're just they're really designed to be pulled off
if if the excellent happened, there was just a matter
of shorting the hose by a few inches and reattached
with the with the hose clubs.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Nice to hear from you, Mark, Thank you very much.
Plenty of texts saying it must just be men that
make mistakes in the workplace. Maybe they're the only ones
to get caught. Well the fists up by the way.
Also the men's coxles for at ten past ten, So
they're calling this the medal shower, which is an expression
haven't heard before. Everyone seems to have picked us up
because four possible medals, we've got gold on one, the

(48:14):
second one we got sixth and hopefully two more golds
before the end of my show. So do get in
touch if you want to talk. As I say, eight
hundred and eighty to nine detects also tonight, just keep
you up todate with what's going on. We've got the
sailing men's dinghy, we've got the swimming women's four by

(48:34):
two hundred, that's the heats, and after midnight sailing canoe
slalom and BMX racing. We'll take the men's COXUS four
at ten past ten nuts and four minutes. Right now
we're talking after the back of the pylon, unbolting the
pole and your great work mistakes. Neil Marcus there, welcome.

Speaker 8 (48:53):
Hello there, Marcus. I'll be brief because we don't want
to miss slack dress, do we. Late fifties or early
sixties Marx Catglaryvember wacked in hole in Yorkshire and I
had business to do at Scarborough, a seaside town about
three and a half hour's drive away. I had a

(49:13):
little MGA. I went zooming up there, did my business
all day and coming back just about twilight. I'd just
turn me lights on and it was my roads in
them days, and I was just going down the road
and this bloody fella staggered out in front of me,
drunk as I was when I breaked, and he was

(49:36):
stood in the middle of the road swaying. And I
got out and I said, you know, try and find
out what was going on. Couldn't get anything out of him. Really,
that says, where do you live? He says, God I'd
Avenue in home, So I said, well, look, I'm going there.
It's not far off where I live. If you promise
not to be sick, you know, I'll help you in

(49:57):
to be cape with hard work. Such a low little mga. Anyway,
we got him in and trigging. A bit hours later.
Here I was in home and I went to the
address down Godard Avenue and the door managed it to
get him out. It slept all the way, no seat belt.
She was leaning against me all the time. And I

(50:20):
got him through the front gate. It was Terry's houses.
And I got him up to the front door and
immediately slump down on the front doorstep. So I hammered
on the door, but no response. And this continued put
two or three minutes, banged on the door and the
woman in the house next door in the front doors
and next door to each other, like because of Terry's house.

(50:41):
She came out and she says there's no beIN theer.
All a holiday in Scarborough.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
So so.

Speaker 8 (50:55):
I'm glad I've read you chuckle. But what met me
Chok was I thought, what we waked up? And when
he wakes up in the morning, I think.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Good story, Thel, very good story. I'm lead us stay
with that one.

Speaker 30 (51:09):
But it looks like if they can't run down the USA,
it will be a silver medal? Can they run down
the US? Like I think it's going to be just
beyond them, the USA coming down to the line in
first position, Gold goes to US.

Speaker 20 (51:25):
Silver.

Speaker 30 (51:26):
New Zealand and Great Britain have got themselves up into
the bronze medal position.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
Sixteen past ten, good evenings in and that's the medal
shower over gold, silver, bronze. That's the set. So three
medals from four races in the last hour and ten minutes.
So USA pipping us there. USA pretty much led from
the front, looked like they were coming back, came back

(51:55):
to about a quarter a fifth of a boat length
and then just probably about half a boat length in
it in the end. So just to recap gold, bronze,
silver in that order. That will conclude the rowing for tonight,
although there is more rowing to come. Saturday night has
more events, more races. That's a situation there. Yeah, so

(52:17):
one of each three medals, four races, pretty extraordinary women's
double skulls Lucy Spores, Brook Francis that was the gold.
The men's double skulls Robbie Manz and Jordan Perry, they
came sixth. The rowing women's four they got the bronze,

(52:37):
and the rowing men's four they got the silver. Someone
who knows more than me can tell me how often
the Americans get medals, gold medals and rowing. They did
win the two thousand and four eights in Athens, but
that's surprised to see them there at the front. But
there we go USA with the gold medal there looks
so I don't know if they were once a great
rowing nation, but looks like huge success there. Anyway. That's

(53:01):
the coverage kind of over from the rowing for tonight
we are talking about. There we go, what's that medal
nineteen sixty eight the fours coxed fours. Of course they
got gold. Dick Joyce, Ross Collins, Dudley Story, Warren Cole, Simon, Dickie,
get in touch with your talk mon. Name is Marcus. Welcome.

(53:21):
We are talking about the rowing and talking about your
work stories when you made grave mistakes, not grave mistakes,
but like the people that underd the pylon. Very funny story.
By the way. Someone said surfing gets underway again four
fifty a m. Tomorrow after weather delays the men's third
round Eardie this week. Hand it all huge barrels, wipe

(53:43):
out and unbelievable bravery. That's so from christ Jurch. They
are a bit rich taking the Olympics down there. That's
in fact the area of Tahiti. I think that kind
of was badly affected by fallout fallout from the nuclear
testing in the Pacific. So yeah, it's kind of a
grain of salt territory there isn't it anyway? Anyone see

(54:05):
the meteorite shower last night? Someone's requested that. Yeah, someone
said they had the feeling that metal shower could be
a clunker. Over confidence never ends well. Well, they called
it three medals and an hour and ten minutes. Wasn't
bad going, Marcus. Day was going good and I spent
six hundred was at Costco in half an hour. Marcus,
I am a computer programmer and I was testing an

(54:28):
emailing function. Accidently set myself one hundreds of emails. But
the worst thing was that over to the server and
my client got a copy of each email saying sending failed.

Speaker 9 (54:38):
Good on you.

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Marcus has my late teens working in a golf course,
but a policy at work that if a customer has
a four, we call an ambulance. Had a customer fall,
ran over and started calling the eminence. Customer told me
not too, so I hung up. My boss came over
a few minutes there and said he was waiting for
the eminence with me. I told him I'd canceled it.
He promptly called it back. Customer got to the ablets

(55:01):
had a heart attack on the way to the hospital.
He had just had heart surgery a few weeks before.

Speaker 24 (55:06):
Loot.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
My lesson, always for the rules, they're there for a reason.
Best Bryant Ryan, maybe he was told he couldn't play golf.
That'd be my take on that. Very funny about the
guy in the MG two, couldn't visualize the card, didn't
quite know where the story was going. Actually pretty good though,

(55:26):
it'll make the putty. Adam. It's Marcus. Welcome and good evening, Hi, Adam.

Speaker 13 (55:32):
Oh Marcus, how's it going good?

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Thanks?

Speaker 8 (55:35):
Hey?

Speaker 13 (55:36):
I just thought work disasters. This is going back a
couple of years, but.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
I would.

Speaker 13 (55:43):
I worked in the print industry and underneath the printers,
big print presses, we had like a like a ditch
that like a big, big pit underneath the printers so
you could get underneath him.

Speaker 12 (55:59):
Yep, there was.

Speaker 13 (56:01):
There was a guy who was driving a forklift and
totally took out one of the fire pipes above the
print press and totally flooded the whole area and filled
up one of these pets just full of water. It
was like a swimming pool like it was, Yeah, it was.

(56:25):
It was a major pipe. It was like it was
you know, for the sprinklers for the entire factory, like
a like brought in all the water from What was he?

Speaker 2 (56:36):
What was he trying to do?

Speaker 13 (56:40):
It was just an experienced guy that had never driven
a before. He shouldn't have been on a fork cliff.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
No one should be on By the sounds, of tonight.
No one should be on a forklift.

Speaker 26 (56:50):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (56:51):
I worked with forkclifts all the time. I haven't really
had any incidences myself. Of the colleagues that I worked with,
haven't had like any major incidents or anything like that.
So I don't think that. I think there's mainly people
with an experience.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
I we used to work on a forkliff for a
while in a warehouse at nest Slaves. But thanks, and
by the way, to the United States. I'm looking at
the middle of the tally of medals in the rowing.
Actually United States is the leader. It goes US, East Germany,
Great Britain, Germany, Romania, New Zealand is sixth, then Australia.
So and they still said to be the countries that
are dominant in rowing US East Germany, Great Britain, Jermiany,

(57:29):
Romanian news industry. Of course it's Germany and Jermian. Now
together you put them together, they would lead. I guess welcome.
My name is Marcus. We are discussing the Olympics. Mark,
You've got some Olympic queries.

Speaker 8 (57:40):
I love these.

Speaker 20 (57:43):
Yes, I wonder why they had set slippery places where
the site press sarade on and they could have had
some shand on those praisers. And the other thing that
I've heard about, not heard anymore, is that they had
cardboard beds and paper rankets. And asked myself, is this

(58:05):
the Olympic game?

Speaker 2 (58:07):
I think everyone thinks it's been fantastic.

Speaker 11 (58:09):
Well, I.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
Think there was one that there was one Aussie that
that went on about the beds, but she has been
called sour grapes.

Speaker 20 (58:21):
Yeah, I just I just felt very sad for those
people that fell off their bites all tie this morning.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
Yeah, did you say cardboard beds and paper shape.

Speaker 20 (58:36):
Yes, I heard that.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
I didn't hear where'd you hear that? I'd talk back.
I got a news service, I heard.

Speaker 20 (58:42):
I heard that over the news service. And I also
heard that the portions in the meals are very meither
and various things like that.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
I wouldn't believe all of it. I mean, there's always
some fuss or someone trying to stir up. They might
be taken out of context, they might just said, they
might just said something humorously. I haven't heard about the cardboard.
I haven't heard about the paper sheets.

Speaker 20 (59:10):
Yeah, well that's what we heard that in another time.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Did you hear anything about the paper sheets.

Speaker 20 (59:16):
Then, well, it was somebody that was commenting about things
that they'd seen at the games that they felt were contemptuous.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
I'd like to give paper sheets to go.

Speaker 11 (59:32):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 20 (59:32):
I like my shreet, my cotta.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
You ever slipped on a cardboard beard mark? No, not
a problem, you wouldn't. Cardboard beads are fine. It's just
like a beard base for your matress.

Speaker 20 (59:48):
Yeah, how can I change the subject. Did you hear
the clockhouse?

Speaker 2 (59:56):
It's forgot like a game. No, I didn't go to flockhouse.
Roman went to Flockhouse and he's got a land rover.
There's an old territory man. How old are you? Have
you rung up and asked me before about this mark?
Are you in your nineties? Okay, yeah, I think you've

(01:00:18):
asked me about that. And I didn't got a Roman
went to flockhouse the mid dawn guy Marcus. I saw
a guy showing the Olympic Village bedroom and he said,
the cardboard beds are great, and he proceeded to jump
on the bead with no issues. I think it's better
than thousands of beds going to land Full after the games.

(01:00:38):
I hope they give those cardboard beads to people who
need them. Wonder if the gold medalists use them. Someone
said the guardboard beads were at the Tokyo Olympics. Whether
at these ones also were they? You paid quite good
money for cardboard beads. Now you go to the ik shop,
they've got cardboard beds. It's all kind of into woven.

(01:00:58):
It provides quite a strong base. Ever in an apartment.
Want to carry them up? They lift stuff like that.
You're good to go es seen with them last year
ten years works pretty well, I think anyway. Karen Marcus, welcome,
Hi Karen.

Speaker 26 (01:01:12):
Hey Marcus, how are you good too?

Speaker 8 (01:01:14):
Karen good two degrees in Lincoln at the moment there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
Sitting you know, Okay, it's been cold all week, has it?

Speaker 26 (01:01:22):
It has been cold all week? Yeah, really wet Tuesday.
The sun tried to come out today, but not for long.
My funny work story was a few years ago. I
used to work for Ahm's Chicken and Way Tower, which
is just outside of Tiadaha, Murensville. And I worked in
the office and with the group of lovely ladies and

(01:01:44):
we were did the teally sales. So I, as an example,
had the job that I would ring all the butcheries,
all the New World balleys and things and gets their
chicken orders. So they wanted retisse chickens, or the butcheries
needed drums and nibbles and things like that. And I'm
sure there was over the years. I probably did big mistake.

(01:02:06):
But the only funny story I've got is my red
colleague was sitting next to me, and you know, you
always kind of get dry hands or woman always liked
to have, you know, some moisturizeder the side the well.
We always had a you know, a bottle on our
desks for putting on our hands. And I think she

(01:02:28):
was on the other side of the room and I said, oh,
can I use your moisturizer. So I think I grabbed
it because she goes, it's in my dad. So I
grabbed it out and opened it up and it's like
a little white container and I was rubbing it on
my hands and she came around the corner and she goes,
that was her yoga for lunch.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Wow, that's funny.

Speaker 26 (01:02:47):
It was really funny at the time. So yeah, I'm
rubbing it on my hands and up my arms, and.

Speaker 8 (01:02:54):
Yeah, it was yogat I've never heard that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
That's a good story, isn't that it? Because nothing do
with that chicken. Nothing do with that chicken or the
orders either. That was unexpected, I know, don'tly, Karen, thank
you for that yoga on the arms. My name is Marcus.
Welcome Shay here. I worked on customer service at the
online pharmacy. I had at a rate customer on the phone.

(01:03:16):
I already ripped into me. At the end of the call,
I hung up, or thought I had anyway, the phone
was not quite on the hook. I yelled out loud
at you, iffing female dog. I looked down and the
phone was off the hock. Instantly thought, bugger. Put the
phone on hot properly. It was waiting for the customer
to ring back. Thirty seconds that the phone rings back,
says I heard all of that and put me through

(01:03:37):
to the manager at long story. Short customer got three
hundred free products as an apology. I was freaking out
big time. Hello, Ralph, it's Marcus. Welcome.

Speaker 23 (01:03:45):
Oh, good good afternoon.

Speaker 8 (01:03:47):
It's a good night.

Speaker 23 (01:03:48):
I don't even know Marcus kind.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Of evening, it's good night, I guess.

Speaker 24 (01:03:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:03:54):
Many years ago, I was working in Howur I was
about nineteen sixty three sixty four, you're talking about disasters.
It worked, and I was employed with the means where
with a means we shopped doing the windows in the
windows WV. Patterson Limited and anyway it was. I was

(01:04:14):
given freehand. These guys just let me do whatever I wanted,
and they were really cool. So I decided we liter
Funeal came out at that time with a shirt called Cavalier,
and I had to do a sort of window, a
really big window with Cavalier. So what I thought of
and did was I built a guilt teine a guild tin,

(01:04:37):
and and the whole bed, the whole works and the
little basket where the head would drop unto at the end.
And I had a model that I could do that with.
So I built this thing and had blood prefabbly over
the blade of the guilt tin. And a couple of

(01:04:59):
nights after I first did it, apparently a lady hang
it outside the shop and the police came in and my, my,
my most sobulous window had had to be destroyed and
taken out of the window. And sixteen or seventeen at

(01:05:21):
the time.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
And Ralph, what was the connection with cavalier and the guillotine.
That's where the story.

Speaker 23 (01:05:28):
Heavaliers were people that you know, ran around with swords.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Okay, kind of, that's the take.

Speaker 10 (01:05:34):
Okay.

Speaker 23 (01:05:35):
In the wall behind I had a black wall, and
I had a sword in the wall and blood running
down the wall as well.

Speaker 9 (01:05:41):
You know.

Speaker 23 (01:05:42):
It was just just one of those things that I
came up with and and it couldn't last. It didn't
last very long.

Speaker 16 (01:05:49):
I can tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
Yeah, I can remember the cavalier. I can remember the
cavalier shoots. It's a very good story, Ralph, thank you
for that. I wasn't quite sure we were going with
the cavalier, but we got there nice. Marcus. I'm on
Lincoln and just went out to empty food scrapts into
the bin. Ice on top, you know, the ice on
the car. Last I had to go to the Guessie
before I went home, and I put the windscreen wipers on,
then put some water on. There's froze, Marcus. Stuff up

(01:06:14):
I made when Napster came out, I'd downloaded heaps of
songs onto my work computer. I had no idea the
business computer would get a four thousand dollars download charge.
I'd lead to them real fast, and I had no
idea what they were talking about. You woudn't want to
smoke in a cardboard beard, would you? My name is Marcus.

(01:06:35):
How you all going? People? Gold, silver, bronze and the rowing?
And that's of interest to me. It might be of
interest to you. Also, a lot of countries don't seem
to be into the rowing. They do that. It just
seems to be some countries like the same make countries
every year. It's not a criticism, but it's you think

(01:06:55):
some of those countries would be metal hungry'd be getting
into rowing. Or maybe they are. Maybe they just start
making the qualifying for the finals. But m hm mm
mmmm Lisa, And to Marcus cleaving and welcome Halsa.

Speaker 5 (01:07:13):
Oh good evening, Marcus, how are you good things?

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Lisa.

Speaker 5 (01:07:17):
My first job was at Nazareth's house. In my first day,
I had to go around and pick up all the
hinals and take them all to the sluice room and
clean them up. My second job was to cleap up
all the false seats, clean them up. Did all that.
I felt really proud of myself until I got back
to my first patient and I'd never named any of
the teeth. Wow aeriactor at ward and it took about

(01:07:41):
three or four weeks to find everyone's teeth. You soon
knew when someone looked a bit horsey that it must
have been Jane over there, because the bobs it Jane's wearing.
So after that the matron demoted me to the cleaner,
and when I went to university the following year, I
took out social week instead.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
And I've never thought of false How were you supposed
to mark them or label?

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
What would you do?

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
I know, well, they had the little little bolt. I
mean that they soaked the one. I suppose no one
really told me. I just felt great about what I
was knowing, and I knew it all anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
I thought of how anyone recognize their false teeth. I
guess that they were. They recognize them by looking at them,
or recognized by them by how they felt in their mouth.

Speaker 5 (01:08:28):
I suppose, well, Unfortunately I was in the geriatric hospital,
so no one was really capable of telling you much
that were their new boots?

Speaker 25 (01:08:38):
Was whose?

Speaker 5 (01:08:39):
But the majority didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:08:42):
Exact.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
They all got Lisa is that they all got the
right ones in the end, To be honest.

Speaker 5 (01:08:48):
I don't think so. I've got pictures now of Joane.
They called a gramar giane and she always looked hawky,
and I always knew that I could never find where
they went, and I was cleaner. I was on toilet
throe ever after that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Nice to release thank you nine to eleven. Email here
and I'll read it. Marcus Hi, Marcus years ago dot
dot dot. It's nasty written years ago. I started at
a new job on Monday morning as a as a
mechanic at a Caltech's gas station. Knew the boss from

(01:09:26):
in my past, so all good. He took his first
day off in nineteen years to play golf safe for
the knowledge I could run. The place was a new
service station with the workshop at the back. Not much workers.
Was all new as no one knew. There was a garage.
Thirty thousand of new frozen food delivered Wednesday morning for
the shop. I do my first mechanic job, welding an

(01:09:48):
exhaust to an old Jaguar. Park it up the front
of the roller door, handbrake on, put it in park,
get out, and started opening the roller door to get
the car on the hoist. As the door goes up,
I can see the Jags slowly backing away from me
in reverse. Wasn't too worried, as the pump jockey and
I always pranking each other about. Then he walked through

(01:10:14):
into the workshop. So who was driving the car?

Speaker 16 (01:10:17):
No one.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
It carried on reversing on full steering lock and smashed
into the wall of the building exactly where the main
power switch was. Turned off the power to the whole building,
and cleaned the fridges with the new frozen stuff in them.
Boss back in a hurry. Major Diesel portable power supply
keeping stop frozen client with the jag tuned up in

(01:10:40):
the afternoon to see how his car was. I told
him I didn't get to do the job as it
idled so roughly it jumped out of park and into
reverse by itself. Also the handbrake didn't work. He said, yeah,
I knew it did. That was going to get that
fixed after the exhaust. Can't say what I said to him, anyway,
kept my job went well from then on. In chairs Bill, Bill, congratulations,

(01:11:04):
nice email beautifully. Marcus. You can get your name on
your dinches if you ask. Now you know why should
be a standard service. Barkers don't see what the matrons
problem was with the training nurse whoever she gave them to,
they would have been the false teeth. But instant like that,
so with in your career would be enough to dent

(01:11:26):
your ego. Very good, I read it again. I don't
see what the matrons problem was. The training nurse, whoever
she gave them to, they would have been the false teeth.
But instant like that, so we're in your career would
be enough to denture ego. I think there's another pun
in there. I can't quite get it. Who's got an
Olympic question? You can ask the audience. My Olympic question

(01:11:48):
was what was the guy doing on the roller blades
in the twenty k women's walk? Was he trying to
tap people that had broken into a kantak? And someone tell?
Did the commentator or the commentators won't know much for
anyone that's a racewalker. What's the person the rollerblades? Do bags?
Not rollerblading on the cobbles? You're not gonna answer me that.

(01:12:12):
I'll be into that. You know about the rules. I
thought the handball was good. Do you want to be
able to faint in the handball? Like, pretend you're gonna
throw out the one way and then throw out the
other way. Then the goalkeeper comes up the front and
they score. It's a good sport. The triathons come of age.

(01:12:38):
That was exciting last night. Brothers year guy was a
very good ten thousand meter run, faster than mo Ferrah.
So well done to that guy for coming second so closely.
They were egon if it raced in the morning. He
was all going to peek in the morning, but they
delayed it because of the Eco. Lie mind, you just
can't make too much of a song and dance about
that because you can't make out you would have woned

(01:13:00):
if they at a different race. Just gotta be adaptable
with the Olympics, don't you. There was one auzy woman
that blamed the card board beard and she's been vilified.
You wouldn't say little if you lose a less Beaker
ninety five. I think his father is to tell him that.

(01:13:23):
Andrew Marcus, welcome, okay, Nate, how are you? You're good? Good, good,
good good.

Speaker 19 (01:13:28):
Just a bit of an incident I had years ago,
back in the early nineties. I was a La Catte
waider and I got a shot at working at Number five,
which was quite a fancy restaurant. Just up by the shore.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Yes, I'm familiar with I'm familiar with number five here.

Speaker 19 (01:13:45):
Well, anyway, I was working at the Bronze Coat at
the time in Constant View Road and got to crack
it go and try it at number five. And I
went there and the guy goes, do you know how
to make a fire? Because they had some fireplaces here.

Speaker 28 (01:14:02):
Nice. You know, I'm pretty good at making a buyers
And they're to start these two fires and these fireplaces,
and but a time goes past, and then I've got
all these all these boys from across the Shirt and
running across because the chimney caught on fire.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Goodness.

Speaker 19 (01:14:23):
Yeah, so I never got aspect to it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
It's not your fault the chimney court on fire, is it?

Speaker 11 (01:14:29):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (01:14:30):
I know, but I didn't get the job.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
It's kind of was a It was kind of an
old brick building across the road from the Shirt and
wasn't it was quite a famous restaurant, right, Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:14:39):
Yeah, No, I would have been a fortune in tips
and then it would have been the pinnacle of my career.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
It's kind of one of those funny restaurants where they
did silver service, which it kind of work out why
they bothered with that. What a funny thing that was.

Speaker 19 (01:14:53):
Oh it was just a dying thing in the eighties
and nineties, isn't it. But no, I quite enjoyed waitering
and matro Den and all.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
But bronze goat wouldn't be silver service, would it.

Speaker 12 (01:15:05):
Oh I had.

Speaker 19 (01:15:06):
Times when the hit functions and that sort of thing.
I've done a lot of it. I share it and
train so oh yeah, absolutely, yes, no, but you know,
that was a funny little story here.

Speaker 31 (01:15:18):
And did they put it in?

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Did they? Did they open that night? Did the fieries
come around and put it out?

Speaker 19 (01:15:23):
Oh no, No, they came around and they put it
out and one didn't get that bag. So it wasn't
that serious or anything. But now I remember that the
guy who was running the place he did, his attitude
towards me just changed completely.

Speaker 2 (01:15:38):
Nice to hear from me, Andrew, Thank you. Twenty seven
Parst eleven minume is Marcus, welcome head at midnight? All
about the old Olympics and about your work disasters. What
I've noticed tonight, most bosses seemed fairly forgiving Marcus. Working
as as a predice chief in the eighties, A full
rack of pans on the hot tops, pulled a Pasco,

(01:15:59):
the deep front, hit the fleurro light, shattered bowl bit
through about thirty meals. Wow, almost ready to play it up,
disaster Robin, it's Marcus. Good evening, Good evening.

Speaker 31 (01:16:14):
Hi, I just.

Speaker 22 (01:16:16):
Watched that race with Hayden used today and you know,
he held that Hayston, that lead for so long. It
was just I just thought it was crawled away that
great presion.

Speaker 5 (01:16:32):
Was it he took over?

Speaker 2 (01:16:35):
Yeah, it was although he seemed to handle it very well.

Speaker 22 (01:16:39):
He did, He handled it amazingly. I just wanted to say,
what a what a great sports person. You know, they're
obviously very good friends, and it was just lovely to
see when he got over the line, the way they
embraced each other, it was lovely. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
I thought it was free moving and I've always kind
of I haven't really loved triathlon in the past. I've
always thought it was a bit of a bitsy, cobble
together sport. But when you saw that in the coverage
of it last night, and how tactical and how intense
the whole thing was, I thought it was a great
showcase for the sport. I thought it was fantastic.

Speaker 8 (01:17:14):
Yeah, I did too, But I.

Speaker 22 (01:17:15):
Really felt for them in that one. Yeah, the current
and the murkiness of that water.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
It was no easy fat I think, and I think
if he hadn't, if he had done better with the swim,
because they reckon, he gotten some slow currents, you know,
he might have had a bit more pep right at
the end because it was just it was just seconds
in it. I mean just the last guy had that
kind of surge from one hundred meters.

Speaker 22 (01:17:39):
Yeah, it looked like he headed in him.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
He didn't. He didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:17:46):
Like when he was halfway through that run, it was like, no, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Right, his form went, didn't it? Then it came back
there you go. I wondered about that swimming race last
night looking at the Daily Mail. Not humanly possible Olympics
cheating storm as Chinese swimmer nineteen breaks his own world
record and wins gold, meeting competitors by an entire body
length and a hund to meet a freestyle domination. Didn't

(01:18:12):
realize he was so young, first ever meddle for China
and they had to meet a freestyle The coach of
sec instead of the time was not humanly possible and
insisted that if it seems too good to be true.
It probably is. Yep. I tell you who's been a
highlight snoop doggie dog if I can say that being

(01:18:34):
great supporter of his teams done well, there you go,
but was cut. The exciting hour was an hour might
have been a bit longer. New key we rowing heroes
to celebrate as women's double claimed spectacular gold in Paris.
Stand up news Lands you have new rowing heroes to celebrate.

(01:18:56):
Lucy Spores is from Michael Burgess in Paris. Lucy's Spoores
and Brook Fraser Francis had continued a wonderful diress of
the women's double skulls, coming in magnificent gold of the
French cap in a remarkable race. The Kiwi duo time
their race spectacular with a brilliant burst of the final
seven hundred meters in the tenths finish. They eached the
reigning Olympic champions Romani by a whisker, but it was enough.

(01:19:20):
The final margin was zero point twenty four seconds, with
the New Zealand Crewe cock clocking six fifty forty five
their triumphers echoes of the Everswindel Golden Beijing. Was that close?
Was a remarkable effort by Spores and Francis, who both

(01:19:41):
took time out to start families after reaching the podium
in Tokyo.

Speaker 16 (01:19:45):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
There's something nice about There's something quite good about Snoop Dog.
I'm not quite sure what it is, but I guess
it's the fact that he always looked he always looks
like he's enjoying himself.

Speaker 31 (01:20:54):
Yeah, and he did say in his book he ever
joint at the White House.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
I mean a lot of a lot of those rippers
they get an angry, they get their lives become quite hard,
but you know, went to sort of guns and you know,
that sort of gangster thing, but he was from that area,
sort of got a sort of a slightly more mellow
attitude to it all.

Speaker 31 (01:21:17):
Yeah, because my son said when't they go and they
had to be searched and blah blah blah, and told
him not.

Speaker 12 (01:21:24):
To do this and not to do that.

just as natural self. And they they they all got
a gold chain of smooth doggers as he was a
goods this year man who was a bud Hey, yeah,

over in Australia and when we had toolboxes at our job,

slipped on the little box. I stood on, sprained, walked
without realizing. Six weeks later, surgery and many screws six
months off most depressing. Ar I'm sad to hear that
it's a little falls that can do the most damage,

(01:24:32):
isn't it? Anyway? Thanks to everyone enjoyed those work stories.
Back tomorrow for the Friday free for all and no
doubt more of the Olympics. So much sport, I think
it should be over a month. Kind of sat in
front of the TV and I had a lot to
do today, but didn't get much done because the sport

(01:24:53):
was so good. I was just watching bits and bobs.
I wasn't even to get into whole events. Now I
could sit watch handball day and night football. I quite
like the golf would be worth watching. It's all quality.
I I think with sport for how much we are
getting and even their omnibus channel's pretty good. But no
one can tell me why there was rollerbladers going alongside

(01:25:15):
the walkers. They might explain at the men's event. I
shall look forward to that romance next. He'll bring you
all the updates if there's any happening. I prerecire. We've
got commentators all throughout the night. Dan, they stay there too,
so that we got that sport crowd. They're doing the
whole bit, so you won't die wondering. See to myrrow people.

(01:25:37):
