Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News
Speaker 1: talks'd be gritting's welcome.
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 3: My name is Marcus hid on Midnight to No. I'll
Speaker 3: keep you up there with the rugby and the league.
Speaker 3: They're both on here. It'll twelve. That's a brief. There's flooding.
Speaker 3: This road's closed. Over it, No, not over it, across it.
Speaker 3: Fancy me saying I'm over it. I'm across that south.
Speaker 3: There's weather updates. You'll tell me, I'll tell you. I'll
Speaker 3: also go to the website of Waka Kotahi and let
Speaker 3: you know what's going on. Oh yeah, so there's a diversion.
Speaker 3: There's a wakakata heav it ends heed Ta if you like.
Speaker 3: But there's a situation with a diversion. I'll bring all
Speaker 3: the details about that. You might be a truck driver, yeah,
Speaker 3: get in touch if you are. If you've got details
Speaker 3: about this. It's across the comiss the major closure. That's
Speaker 3: because of cold. Weare the cold snap snap, cold snap
Speaker 3: down the country. So here's what we've got. I'll look
Speaker 3: clicking it on it now as we talk. Duro slip
Speaker 3: Stato twenty nine is closed with Statoe. We had Tapoi
Speaker 3: and Statoy six ton Eco indeed two it is in place.
Speaker 3: Please allow at least an extra ninety minutes time. I
Speaker 3: don't like how to tell you how how much you
Speaker 3: should allow, but it's fair. It's probably what they should
Speaker 3: be doing. So you gonna go around de la Harmurana
Speaker 3: round that way, I think probably, or Keddy falls that's
Speaker 3: the way. That's the diversion that I'll be affecting some
Speaker 3: of the truckers also coming up and down the country.
Speaker 3: Thank you for your service. Bang Mother's Day Sound Sunday.
Speaker 3: Sometimes on Mother's Day, before a Mother's Day, I like
Speaker 3: to do a Mother's Day related topic. No idea tonight
Speaker 3: what that topic is. I might crowdsource it. If you
Speaker 3: think you've got a great topic about mother's Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I always like to go kind of for the worst
Speaker 3: mother and those sorts of stories. However, when I'm saying
Speaker 3: things like the worst mother's story, one of their mother
Speaker 3: told you that, you know, if you need that, you'd
Speaker 3: end up. I don't want terrible, terrible mother stories because
Speaker 3: they're tragic. So yeah, I'm wanting a topic that can
Speaker 3: celebrate the diversity of motherhood, but not be too depressing
Speaker 3: on a Friday. That's just a suggestion. So if you
Speaker 3: want to there, if you want a crowdsource the Mother's
Speaker 3: Day topic takes that through to me or call it,
Speaker 3: and also to as far as the weather, you've got
Speaker 3: the updates on that currently. Let me know what's happening
Speaker 3: with the weather where you're after there as flooding. It's
Speaker 3: kind of quite a floody time because all the autumn
Speaker 3: leaves are clogging up the drains. Don't get me started
Speaker 3: on autumn leaves. I hate them, hate how naked the
Speaker 3: trees look in winter, and I don't like I don't
Speaker 3: like leaves on the ground, wet leaves, don't like them
Speaker 3: at all. Makes the whole city looks like it needs sweeping.
Speaker 3: Am I alone on that? Perhaps, So don't get me
Speaker 3: started on the trees we plant. But yes, that's why
Speaker 3: it floods because all the drains are full full. So
Speaker 3: you might want to say something about that. God, I'm
Speaker 3: here for that, brilliant let's be hearing from you. Eight
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two
Speaker 3: to text. We've got the drewer versus the blues. Blues
Speaker 3: are leading we've also got the Knights and the Titans.
Speaker 3: The Knights are up to nil all sellar dwellers. Also
Speaker 3: the Rabbits and the Broncos. Later on today also too,
Speaker 3: we've got this Cosmos four eight two which is about
Speaker 3: to re enter. That's just space junk. It's pretty amazing story,
Speaker 3: that one. It's been a new orbit for more than
Speaker 3: fifty years. The Venus Lander, so I was designed to
Speaker 3: go to Venus. And because of that, because it was
Speaker 3: meant to go to Venus, it's built tough. It was
Speaker 3: built to survive the passage through to Venus, so it
Speaker 3: might survive reentry. It might get through the atmosphere intact.
Speaker 3: Now that's it exciting that hits you on the head,
Speaker 3: you'll know about it. It'll come at your front angle,
Speaker 3: I suppose. So it won't hit you on the head,
Speaker 3: would it? Would it hit you on the head, probably
Speaker 3: hit you on the Torso wouldn't hit you on the head,
Speaker 3: would it? Ah, it could. It's more likely to hit
Speaker 3: you side on. So this unit that's got a blog
Speaker 3: about it says, I doubt it will be a hard
Speaker 3: impact because the parachute, the parachute deployment system probably won't
Speaker 3: work after fifty three years because the batteries are dead.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be quite exciting on its way down.
Speaker 3: It didn't get to Venus, it didn't get out of it.
Speaker 3: If it's basic orbit, they kind of orbit around the
Speaker 3: Earth before they jettison off. Yeah, so it's been dragging
Speaker 3: around there for years, fifty years. It's coming back to
Speaker 3: Earth the next day or two. Time's up Cosmos for
Speaker 3: this could be a big story. I'd like to hear
Speaker 3: what Trump's going to say about it, Bob Marcus welcome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not on the subject of flooding and that. But
Speaker 4: I just thought, you know that my friend is down
Speaker 4: in the Antarctica with the New Zealand Army and believe
Speaker 4: it or not, the plane's broken down and they can't return.
Speaker 3: Is that one of the new ones is.
Speaker 4: They're stuck down there. There's been they were supposed to
Speaker 4: make on Thursday. You know, they're trying to get past today,
Speaker 4: but that didn't happen either. So but so not out
Speaker 4: was in the next three weeks. They don't get out
Speaker 4: because it's winter.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, And that's okay, And they won't get out
Speaker 3: because there won't be the visibility. It's not that the
Speaker 3: because I think they've got a landing strip that's on
Speaker 3: the ice that should be fine. But yeah, okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So I don't know great deal about it,
Speaker 4: but I know that because it's my my daughter's husband.
Speaker 4: I mean, he couldn't get home. The other subject quickly
Speaker 4: was you know how the government's making all these cuts
Speaker 4: on everything. I hope, like here they don't turn around
Speaker 4: and ask for a pay rise this year because they
Speaker 4: do all hell breaking.
Speaker 3: That's a very good point. Hey, just back to the army.
Speaker 3: Do you know what they would were there?
Speaker 4: Well, this is the other bulls up. They went down
Speaker 4: to do some engineering where because he's an engineer. But
Speaker 4: when they got there, that job wasn't set up or
Speaker 4: available to go. So they ended up chopping line our
Speaker 4: floors and relaying the liner and the thing that's what
Speaker 4: they went down to do didn't happen.
Speaker 3: That's crazy because you think to say, hey, don't come down,
Speaker 3: we haven't got the work ready for you in time.
Speaker 3: Sorry out there, Maybe come down next year. That's terrible.
Speaker 4: They're going to go back down and do the job.
Speaker 4: But because they're engineering experts or whatever they are, he
Speaker 4: ended up chopping line of a accommodation thing with a
Speaker 4: spade getting.
Speaker 5: Ready to be related.
Speaker 3: What a waste.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they could have sent me down to do that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I quite like to get a spade underliner.
Speaker 3: That's probably quite satisfying. So they're supposed to be come
Speaker 3: back Thursday. The part hasn't arrived.
Speaker 4: And they're not quatching when they're coming back now, yeah.
Speaker 3: Because I would imagine the challenge would be planes lending.
Speaker 3: They're not planes taking off there. But it's one of
Speaker 3: the new it's one of those new American hercules, a
Speaker 3: the new ones that's gone down.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's broken down already. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: This ridiculous, Bob. That's good and tell thanks. So that's
Speaker 3: breaking news here people. If anyone else knows anything about that,
Speaker 3: let us know. And we want your mother's stay topic
Speaker 3: for tonight. Thank you, Marcus. How come we cannot get
Speaker 3: candy floss like we used to? I think we can.
Speaker 3: I'm sure we get candy floss. People are mad for it.
Speaker 3: It's all over the internet. People doing different colored stuff.
Speaker 3: They have plenty with a state hurry. Ninety nine clothes
Speaker 3: because of a slip warm and eighteen degrees. Every rain
Speaker 3: will lesson northerly turning west. Thank you, get in touch.
Speaker 3: Hittle twelve. So someone said there's long delays on State
Speaker 3: Highway one. I don't quite know what they are. If
Speaker 3: you've got some Oh that was at seven o'clock, Cody Marcus, welcome, Hey.
Speaker 6: Last caller there talking about there's obviously it's about the weather,
Speaker 6: but talking about flying to Antarctica with the American planes.
Speaker 6: What does he mean by that exactly?
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean like there's no planes on.
Speaker 6: Standby to go to Antarctica at the moment.
Speaker 5: I can assure you're that.
Speaker 3: So New Zealand replaced. Did we not replace our hercules
Speaker 3: with brand new kind of hercules recently?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: We did. Yeah, yeah we did. I fly them.
Speaker 6: Ok we don't know any planes really go Antarctica at
Speaker 6: the moment. We don't fly down in the winter. And Okay,
Speaker 6: there might have be an American one sitting in christ Church.
Speaker 5: Ready to go something. But it's certainly not easy on one.
Speaker 5: Our ones are good to go. We're not flying down
Speaker 5: there again until October this year.
Speaker 3: There's not one down there currently.
Speaker 5: No, No, there's nothing.
Speaker 6: There's three and I say there's four in New Zeland
Speaker 6: and one on the way back from Europe all in
Speaker 6: awkand sorry, would it.
Speaker 3: Be one of the Americans?
Speaker 6: Must be I don't know what flies they called there
Speaker 6: to see.
Speaker 5: Secular?
Speaker 3: Would that be on flight radar?
Speaker 7: Not?
Speaker 3: If it's a plation, that would be.
Speaker 6: But I don't think anything really flies down at this
Speaker 6: time of year. And this is the MIDI back.
Speaker 3: Well that's what he said. They're supposed to come back
Speaker 3: and they haven't, so there might be one down there
Speaker 3: were supposed to come back yesterday. Would that be right?
Speaker 6: It's pretty late in the season.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we sort of.
Speaker 6: We go from about October to March, and that's about
Speaker 6: as late as we go because then to daylight.
Speaker 3: If he said his daughter's husbands down there, he will
Speaker 3: be down there. They want if he's in the army.
Speaker 5: Yeah he could be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they do send a lot of cappin, doesn't it
Speaker 6: down there.
Speaker 3: He's an engineer, just so he must have gone down
Speaker 3: on some plane and there must be some plane. If
Speaker 3: there's a plane.
Speaker 5: Down, I just want to do that. It's not a
Speaker 5: New Zealand one that the broken in the ad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it's important, Cody. I appreciate you clarity
Speaker 3: on that. Thank you, that's no nonsense, and that's good.
Speaker 3: Thank you, that's great. So it's not a key. We
Speaker 3: plane if anyone knows anything more about what it will be.
Speaker 3: John Marcus, good evening, Hello Marke.
Speaker 8: This is probably a bit of trivia. But Mother's Day.
Speaker 8: I was talking to my fifty seven year old son
Speaker 8: today and I said, now, what are you going to
Speaker 8: do for your mother on Mother's Day? He said, well,
Speaker 8: I don't know, and I said, well, you'd better buy
Speaker 8: some flowers. He said, I know, I'll do a sand saucer. No,
Speaker 8: now have you can you remember doing a sand saucer?
Speaker 3: Was he being ironic?
Speaker 8: He was being it.
Speaker 4: Had a few.
Speaker 8: Drinks, I think, what but I'd still think he will
Speaker 8: do a sand saucer.
Speaker 3: He sounds like a good He sounds like a good
Speaker 3: he sounds like a good sword.
Speaker 9: Yeah he is.
Speaker 8: But his mother's in hospital. So he's going to take
Speaker 8: the sand saucer to the hospital on Monday to give
Speaker 8: it to his mother.
Speaker 3: I've never done one. I've kind of gotten no idea
Speaker 3: what they are. But you just kind of put flowers
Speaker 3: in sand. What's the point.
Speaker 8: No, do you mean you've never heard of one?
Speaker 3: Marcus, Well, it was not something I did in my day.
Speaker 8: In my day, well back in the day, at every
Speaker 8: A and P show, they would have a section in
Speaker 8: the in the show where you could enter a competition
Speaker 8: and for the best sand saucer, and every child in
Speaker 8: the district would enter a sand saucer, and it was
Speaker 8: usually a pudding plate fall of sand, and you'd have
Speaker 8: a big flower in the middle, and you'd have little
Speaker 8: flowers radiating up from that that all had to be
Speaker 8: very uniform, and round the outside there would be front
Speaker 8: little fronds of ferns. Now, I'm sure there are a
Speaker 8: few listeners tonight that I'm hoping I'm sort of.
Speaker 10: With you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was it was like entry level floral arrangement,
Speaker 3: but easier and I suppose easy to transport.
Speaker 8: Oh yes, yes, And I don't know, it's just that
Speaker 8: you were talking about Mother's Day and then my son
Speaker 8: ranged me and and he mentioned sand sources, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 8: I'm sure Marcus's listeners. Yes, So it's just a little
Speaker 8: bit of trivia for you.
Speaker 3: She is your wife, your son's mother. Is she the
Speaker 3: sort of person that will be coming out of hospital
Speaker 3: quite soon?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 8: Oh yes, no, no, she's she's got cancer and it's
Speaker 8: in her spine.
Speaker 3: It sounds that sounds like a really tough thing, doesn't No.
Speaker 8: No, No, she's she's she's had It started off with
Speaker 8: breast cancer in two thousand and then we were fine
Speaker 8: for about seventeen years, and that flared up again in
Speaker 8: twenty sixteen, and okay, it's got progressively worse. But she
Speaker 8: needed to go to hospital to get things sorted away
Speaker 8: bit with different medications and things. But now she is
Speaker 8: in Nurse Mord. Oh, yes, yes, and they're marvelous. She's
Speaker 8: in there for two weeks. They call it respite care.
Speaker 8: I think it's the cares more for me than for
Speaker 8: her because I've been her caregiver for the last sixty years.
Speaker 8: But no, no, she'sn't really lapping up her stay in
Speaker 8: Nurse Mord. But on Sunday, my twenty seven year old
Speaker 8: sun David, he's going to take her a sad saucer
Speaker 8: loving that.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll talk more about those, John, So that's a
Speaker 3: good way to talk. Well that, thank you for that.

Speaker 3: back at your thunder warning for all of it. Well,
Speaker 3: some of the North Islands sort of. I went to
Speaker 3: the were down Toyong. I don't to know that area.
Speaker 3: It moves south from about eight forty. This is about
Speaker 3: to happen in about ten minutes. It's going to hit

Speaker 14: Good good, hey you.
Speaker 15: I'm just on my way back from the Toner on
Speaker 15: to road, the rover where I live and the rode
Speaker 15: from the Prematorium to piece Pass School. There's pretty much
Speaker 15: underwater when I came through there about twenty five minutes ago.
Speaker 15: And you've got a job to see the white lines
Speaker 15: and the caps eyes on it.
Speaker 3: You think it should you think it should be closed.
Speaker 15: I gotta go careful, So I think by now I've
Speaker 15: just got to Nongataha and there's a little bit of
Speaker 15: rain but nothing major. But there's a bit of surface
Speaker 15: flooding there just outside the new building development and you
Speaker 15: were hit a few patches of water across the road
Speaker 15: and then obviously it's over the top of the car
Speaker 15: and you can't see anything. So yeah, it's gonna be
Speaker 15: honest way, I think, so.
Speaker 3: Just to I don't know the geography that well, you're
Speaker 3: on State Highway thirty six down from pies Par Is
Speaker 3: that right, that's correct?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 15: And where you you didn't know where orapy was. That's
Speaker 15: a little side road that takes you from just before
Speaker 15: you get to pies Par and loops around and comes
Speaker 15: out at Redder Park Golf Club just economy.
Speaker 3: Of I can see that now. So where was the
Speaker 3: bed funding is the crematorium just as you get to
Speaker 3: pies par Is.
Speaker 14: It it is.
Speaker 15: Yeah, there's a long straight road from the Pies Pass school,
Speaker 15: yeah to the crematorium. Yeah, and that was that was
Speaker 15: pretty well flooded, you know, all running down and every
Speaker 15: so often there's water across the road and you can't
Speaker 15: see it until you're on forty K's.
Speaker 3: Any sign of the emergency services?
Speaker 17: Nothing, No, not as yet.
Speaker 15: Okay, so there's been one slash, one smash there just
Speaker 15: coming into Nongata on the oh, there's a hairpin bend
Speaker 15: right on the corner of Nonga Taha and there's a
Speaker 15: car that's pretty wrecked white when I can't see what
Speaker 15: it is.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so just to get this right, it was
Speaker 3: raining quite heavily at pies Pa, but at long A
Speaker 3: Taha not as bed now, but it's on its way,
Speaker 3: Is it what you suspect?
Speaker 15: I think?
Speaker 9: So, yeah.
Speaker 15: I just she just about coming into.
Speaker 16: Road a ruin now.
Speaker 15: And it's very little brain, but.
Speaker 6: It has been here.
Speaker 3: And I think it's coming. I think it's coming back
Speaker 3: in half an hour, really heavily spike. That's according to
Speaker 3: the sudden warning from the mid Service. So you stand
Speaker 3: by people I'll check the road closes. It's not closed,
Speaker 3: but you well you want to be avoiding driving tonight
Speaker 3: round that part of the country twenty one away from

Speaker 3: Those who notice hees no longer in Wellington after his
Speaker 3: sand saucer was destroyed. I like the word. It sounds
Speaker 3: like a heavy metal song, does it. Sand saucer kind
Speaker 3: of cross between sorcerer and sandstorm. I wonder when I
Speaker 3: can tell a call of that. Put your head in
Speaker 3: a draw, the wood pickers coming. Once that tonight, But
Speaker 3: one day I'll say that, put your hidden the draw,
Speaker 3: the wood pickers coming. How are you people? What's happening?
Speaker 3: There are flight disruptions, always flight disruptions. There is surface
Speaker 3: flooding and white our road. Videos on social media showed
Speaker 3: cars moving through the water. Get amongst people eight hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty nine to nine to detext kind
Speaker 3: of a mating footage on Daily Mail, one of the
Speaker 3: Fox News presenters has tipped over mid mid sentence. Cameron
Speaker 3: Kinsey feely shocking looking footage of that. The other host
Speaker 3: didn't handle it well either. I'm not entirely sure what
Speaker 3: would cause someone to do that anyway. Head of mid night,
Speaker 3: Manames Marcus, Welcome Marcus. I'm and cowodo in the eastern
Speaker 3: Bay of Plea. The rain is horrendous, so bad I
Speaker 3: cannot ring as I can hardly hear you on the radio.
Speaker 3: Similar to the night the night Mata tarfla. That's from Die.
Speaker 3: You take care Die. It's nice to take care Die,
Speaker 3: Nice to have you listening. Die there's no if there
Speaker 3: is any flooding people. By the way, I heard earlier
Speaker 3: on coming to work that someone was saying that Starship
Speaker 3: Hospital had flooded. And then I thought, wow, I remember
Speaker 3: when that building was so new. We probably had a
Speaker 3: new Starship Hospital, because it must be thirty years old.
Speaker 3: And then I thought, and don't judge me on this,
Speaker 3: but I can't help it it and I thought, what
Speaker 3: a stupid name for hospital. Marcus. I was watching Fox
Speaker 3: this afternoon when that happened. She went all vague and
Speaker 3: just fell off her chair. That's right. I don't know
Speaker 3: what that would be about, tipped over. But the co
Speaker 3: host didn't handle it all well. He completely panicked, clearly.
Speaker 3: Just he's not just an autoque jockey. Some of you
Speaker 3: might find this interesting, but in China they think that
Speaker 3: they are going to be able to use artificial intelligence
Speaker 3: to work out what cats are saying. So, yeah, they're
Speaker 3: gonna get all the data and chuck into the machine,
Speaker 3: and they reckon it might be they might be able
Speaker 3: to translate at cat's mews into human language using artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3: They've ever filed a patent, and they will convert animal
Speaker 3: vocalization into words yep. Do you want your cat talking
Speaker 3: to you? I don't have a cat, but they can
Speaker 3: be pretty persuasive around food, can't they. Well, language is
Speaker 3: just gonna make them are persuased. That would be my
Speaker 3: gut feeling on that one. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: want your cat to talk to you? Would you? If
Speaker 3: you want any animals talking to you, really get in touch.
Speaker 3: Hittle twelve one him as Marcus. Welcome Matt from Willington. Marcus.
Speaker 3: The algorithm for thirst aid is doctors abcdd D for danger,
Speaker 3: are for response is for send for help. That's your doctors, airways,
Speaker 3: breathing CPR. Can't remember the last two might be you
Speaker 3: for a refresher, Marcus. What side of the kaimis is
Speaker 3: the miror of Todonga on exactly? I didn't rememberviewed on
Speaker 3: the radio and they asked about where he was living,
Speaker 3: and he did that thing where the phone went bad. Sorry,
Speaker 3: breaking up more about this co host on Fox. No,
Speaker 3: he did front flinch. He freaked out totally, but he
Speaker 3: panicked and just didn't want to do He kept pretning on.
Speaker 3: But when what is a ghost? Someone rushed away from
Speaker 3: the side. He suddenly composed himself and went to a break.
Speaker 3: Marcus rhythm total right now makes last week's so called
Speaker 3: cycline looked like a sunshower. Anyway, a lot of people
Speaker 3: are offering me free first aid courses. I've done it twice.
Speaker 3: It was a lot, and someone's texted me meow too,
Speaker 3: thank you for that. It'd be interesting too. If they
Speaker 3: do get the cats to talk, they could bring up
Speaker 3: talk back. Yeah is that you Tiger? Hi?
Speaker 14: Marcus?
Speaker 3: Long time listen the first time caller. Oh, I can't
Speaker 3: wait for that. Never thought of that. I or cat's
Speaker 3: ringing out the radio. That's not on the list of
Speaker 3: things I thought would happened to talk back. Next Tuesday's
Speaker 3: Cat Night, we'll just be talking to cats, mind you.
Speaker 3: I suppose if the cats can talk and bring up
Speaker 3: and talk back, they would also host the show, couldn't they. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'll be the thing that were cheap to employ. I
Speaker 3: would imagine. Yeah, that's right, Marcus, we'll let you go.
Speaker 3: You found someone else here we have Actually it's a cat.
Speaker 3: Good luck with that.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 3: I don't think cats could talk, would they.
Speaker 2: Are?
Speaker 3: They have more chance of the whales talking than the
Speaker 3: cats or the birds. But hell, I'm here for it.
Speaker 3: I'm here for it. Just talking about that news before,
Speaker 3: the news that the Chinese are going to use AI
Speaker 3: artificial intelligence and they think that they can translate what
Speaker 3: cats are trying to say. Do we want our animals
Speaker 3: talking to us? I'm not so sure if that's a
Speaker 3: good idea, but I guess once they start talking, well,
Speaker 3: we can't really turn them off, can we. I'll have
Speaker 3: more rights. But if there's a good thing or a
Speaker 3: bad thing, so we are talking about that, it's gonna
Speaker 3: be something that's going to happen. Eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 3: to nine nine two detects. Also in honor of Mother's Day,
Speaker 3: perhaps slightly cryptic things your mother said to you that
Speaker 3: you've just realized what they were saying. I'd like the
Speaker 3: more interesting ones for those, actually, the one I particularly like,
Speaker 3: put your head in the drawer. The woodpeck is coming.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: We've got a very severe thunderstorm that's in the area
Speaker 3: between Toto and that's happening about now. There are warnings
Speaker 3: for that. By the way, was there a cell phone alert?
Speaker 3: Did you get a text from the met service? I'm
Speaker 3: curious to know about that, and if you are in
Speaker 3: ground zero, let me know how heavy it is, and
Speaker 3: if there is funding, you might be driving, you might
Speaker 3: be an uberist, you might be out and about in
Speaker 3: those areas. Whether report would be dearly required, So thanks
Speaker 3: for that. If you've got something, would love to hear
Speaker 3: from you about that. Also tonight, by the way, someone's
Speaker 3: texting me they've just done their first aid course. They
Speaker 3: say they no longer call it the recovery position.
Speaker 14: What do they call it?
Speaker 3: But yeah, people are saying it's raining extremely heavily in
Speaker 3: the Hawk's Bay and extremely heavily in Oatula at the moment, Marcus,
Speaker 3: hearing you loud and clear from Prague. We live in
Speaker 3: christ Churchen here on holiday. Go you, you pragists, be
Speaker 3: the Prague spread, won't it? Just like in sixty eight
Speaker 3: when was the Prague spring? Is it sixty eight? Get
Speaker 3: in touch, Marcus till twelve, Marcus Urgent News. Thank you
Speaker 3: for this text. It's free, well written. State Highway five
Speaker 3: near Settler's Road between and Topor and Riperoa is completely blocked.
Speaker 3: It's almost like there's a whole river that's passing over
Speaker 3: the state highway. Large debris blocking both ways north and south.
Speaker 3: Police here as well, trying to get back from topor
Speaker 3: and no luck and yes did receivers of a thunderstorm
Speaker 3: alert from Met Service just after eight pm. Hi Steve,
Speaker 3: it's Marcus. Good evening.
Speaker 18: Good evening, Marcus. First off the bat, thank you very much.
Speaker 18: Your public service announcement has solved me from having to
Speaker 18: go into a middle of a roadblock. I'm towards mathematic,
Speaker 18: going towards the guymine.
Speaker 19: So you go.
Speaker 3: I'm not well actually because that with that other road.
Speaker 3: I know you'll be right now, won't you. You know
Speaker 3: that's okay. So what are you going to do.
Speaker 7: To be fair?
Speaker 18: Probably turn around and give up on the old idea
Speaker 18: of going. So I was heading from Auckland through to Tower,
Speaker 18: but I think what I'll do is give up on
Speaker 18: it and attempt it tomorrow morning instead. So appreciate the
Speaker 18: heads up because I'm not close enough to be the problem.
Speaker 18: But also also you mentioned someone had rung and said
Speaker 18: wigwham for a goose's bridle. That that's a pretty common one.
Speaker 18: I've heard that my father in law used that even
Speaker 18: to this day. But my own father used to say
Speaker 18: when asked what's for dinner or what's on the barbecue,
Speaker 18: he would say, piggle the ill s feet and spit,
Speaker 18: which I still don't to this day know exactly what
Speaker 18: the hell it means.
Speaker 3: Hang on, I'll put both headphones on for that. He said, tickle,
Speaker 3: pickle the.
Speaker 18: Eel's feet and spit.
Speaker 15: Wow.
Speaker 18: Now, if that's not one of the weirdest ones I've ever.
Speaker 5: Heard, I don't know what is.
Speaker 3: Do you think he made that up? If you heard
Speaker 3: others say that.
Speaker 18: I've never heard it from anywhere else. I don't know
Speaker 18: if it's don't anyone else.
Speaker 3: I don't know if some of these like have you
Speaker 3: ever heard put your head in a draw the woodpecker
Speaker 3: is coming. I have heard of that, Okay, I haven't
Speaker 3: you had heard?
Speaker 18: You hadn't heard of the wigwam through the goose's bridle
Speaker 18: That I certainly have. As I said, my father in
Speaker 18: law uses that fairly regularly, and he's knocking on the
Speaker 18: door of eighty so so that age is it to
Speaker 18: a generation. But yeah, I've never heard of anyone using
Speaker 18: the one that my father had used in his day,
Speaker 18: and I just wondered if anyone else had heard it.
Speaker 3: Basically, it's quite triggering when you flesh out, when you've
Speaker 3: fled out cooking dinner and the kids ask you what's
Speaker 3: for dinner? Because normally just comes some complaint or some criticism,
Speaker 3: isn't it.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean it had always got a bit of
Speaker 18: a groan. That's all, Well, no, why can't you just
Speaker 18: tell us dad?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 18: But no, no, that was that was always his go to.
Speaker 3: So yeah, just share with the group, tickle the eel's feet.
Speaker 18: Heck all the el seed, and spit forrey good.
Speaker 3: Appreciate that, Steve safe journeys. Someone also said, if I
Speaker 3: asked where he was going, my father would say shooting
Speaker 3: pookick o with a long handed shovel. Mother used to
Speaker 3: say when too many questions, asked why why is a
Speaker 3: crooked letter? And zenas no better? When asked what was
Speaker 3: for dinner? The reply was cold tongue and duck under
Speaker 3: the table? Or CoA museum close this week and you're
Speaker 3: an asbestos in the grand for you, Marcus. Even if
Speaker 3: we do figure out what cats are saying, it's not
Speaker 3: that they have same level of intelligence there we will
Speaker 3: be able to have conversations with them in the same
Speaker 3: way we do with other humans. It might work in
Speaker 3: some cases, but I think your job is pretty safe.
Speaker 3: Simon well, you never know. It's fast moving industry. Old
Speaker 3: cat talk ZEDB could be good, the world's first cat
Speaker 3: talk back station when they learned to speak. I'm from
Speaker 3: total On and the Kaimi road is closed and major
Speaker 3: slippers blocking both sides of the road. We had reheavy
Speaker 3: rate around eight thirty, but no thunder to report of
Speaker 3: minor flooding around tott On, and I think Major, I
Speaker 3: think it's probably time to put a tunnel under the Kaimis.
Speaker 3: I'll correct that, I think it's probably time to put
Speaker 3: another tunnel under the Kaimis. Marcus was caregiver for my
Speaker 3: ninety year old mothers during COVID. She was suggested by
Speaker 3: the nurse to give her a COVID test. She replied,
Speaker 3: take that thing back to the toy shop. Marcus. Wat's
Speaker 3: for dinner, g Lofters, which was cube bread soaked an egg,
Speaker 3: g Loft. What's what's for dinner, g Lofters? Marcus? When
Speaker 3: asked what's for dinner, my mother would say a Donnybrook
Speaker 3: sandwich or air hi. Marcus, I think they'll find kits.
Speaker 3: Only say three things, pet me, don't pet me, and
Speaker 3: feed me brilliant. Good evening, Judith, this is Marcus. Welcome,
Speaker 3: good evening, Judith, This is Marcus.
Speaker 20: Welcome, Oh, good evening. My mother used to say something
Speaker 20: when I asked what was the t should say A
Speaker 20: drink of water and look around.
Speaker 21: Was very very very very off.
Speaker 3: Oh that's great. She sounds like a hell of a character.
Speaker 20: She was, and she had some other good ones too, Just.
Speaker 3: What's for dinner? What's for dinner?
Speaker 20: Drink of water and look round.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 14: I like that a lot I do too, Thank you.
Speaker 3: That's beautiful, Judith. What was your first name?
Speaker 22: My mother?
Speaker 11: Mabel?
Speaker 3: Mabel? Yeah, I like her. I can see Mabel say
Speaker 3: that what's for dinner? Couple would to look around? That's brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 3: When my mother was cooking, she'd says, do with the fork,
Speaker 3: stir up talks, do with a knife, stir up strife?
Speaker 3: What does that mean? Will they learn this? A lot
Speaker 3: of people said a pie? What's for that? Good evening?
Speaker 23: Stew good a Marcus.
Speaker 24: I can remember my mother. She used to have this
Speaker 24: really wicked saying, which is when the five kids running
Speaker 24: around her ankles, she'd say, don't let me get my
Speaker 24: monkey out.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 24: Yeah, I only presume it means don't make her angry
Speaker 24: because I never asked her. And I remember once we
Speaker 24: asked where she kiss it. She says she kIPS it
Speaker 24: in the closet, and we never ever looked.
Speaker 3: Sounds terrifying for the monkey to come out. It's like her,
Speaker 3: It's like her angry split self.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 24: And I would say that to my kids and they
Speaker 24: just look at me and say that silly.
Speaker 3: It doesn't work anymore, does it don't work?
Speaker 25: Night?
Speaker 3: Like you too, oh Marcus. My mother would say at
Speaker 3: the dinner table, eat what you can and we will
Speaker 3: can what you can't. That's good, Marcus. Just an update
Speaker 3: from State Hayway, Marcus. Just an update from State hate Gee,
Speaker 3: my word's gone.
Speaker 2: I might't be like that.
Speaker 3: Fox host won't have to kill over. Just an update
Speaker 3: from State Highway five Wya. Tapu roading contractors are here
Speaker 3: now and the flooding has somewhat subsided. Still a bit
Speaker 3: of debris on the road, but slowly moving through cold
Speaker 3: and wet. No thunder though. When asked what's for dinner,
Speaker 3: I was told a glass of water and a worm.
Speaker 3: Good evening, Sue. This is Marcus. Welcome, Oh Marcus.
Speaker 26: I'd love to speak with you. I haven't. It's too Yes,
Speaker 26: I wanted.
Speaker 3: To do you have anyone you haven't?
Speaker 27: What?
Speaker 26: Sorry, Marcus, I wondered if you watch the news tonight. Oh,
Speaker 26: a lady was pul rover in the States and she
Speaker 26: stood outside her car. The cops looked him at the
Speaker 26: top of the video of raccoon pet raccoon in the
Speaker 26: car and it had a pea pipe.
Speaker 12: Cheap.
Speaker 3: Is nice to hear from you, so, Matt Marcus, welcome,
Speaker 3: How are you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 15: Uh, just silly things your parents used to say to you.
Speaker 16: My mother was used to say when you had annoy
Speaker 16: as you say, I'd rip your lips off.
Speaker 23: It's make you with the website?
Speaker 3: Is it in character? That does sound quite violent?
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, definitely a character.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 23: Yeah, okay, just all these reminding me and I cracked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah slip.
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, there was a picture of the
Speaker 3: raccoon with the meth pipe. Slip, Marie, it's Marcus. Good evening,
Speaker 3: Hi Marcus.
Speaker 28: My mother used to say when she was asked what
Speaker 28: time it was, she would say it was a hair past.
Speaker 7: Of free cours.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah yeah.
Speaker 28: And we asked how old she was, she would tell
Speaker 28: us us she was as old as her tongue and
Speaker 28: a little bit older than her teeth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 28: And she would also say when we asked for help,
Speaker 28: she would say, we were big enough and ugly enough
Speaker 28: to do it ourselves.
Speaker 3: Can read Gene's a genus. Marcus, good evening, Hi.
Speaker 17: Marcus, seven kids with us?
Speaker 12: What was for dinner?
Speaker 29: And my mother would say, put so much together?
Speaker 25: Put some Apple storees almost together with a Demi flip.
Speaker 9: We didn't want to you after that.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you kept asking.
Speaker 17: Always hungry, always hungry?
Speaker 3: When there's seven Yeah, yes, yeah, I could say, thanks
Speaker 3: for that, Jean. I'm quite enjoying this people. It's quite straightforward.
Speaker 3: We are talking about kind of as a precursor for
Speaker 3: Mother's Day, which is on Sunday. We are talking about
Speaker 3: the cryptic, strange things your parents would say that have
Speaker 3: sticked with or stuck with you, and you're thinking, what
Speaker 3: the hell was that about. They might be threats, they
Speaker 3: might be nonsense answers to tiresome questions, but there's no
Speaker 3: shortage of them, and some of them are extremely original
Speaker 3: and highly entertaining. If you have some of those. That's
Speaker 3: the theme for tonight. I'll get to the text to
Speaker 3: be plenty of those wo'd like to hear you calls too, Yeah,
Speaker 3: sort of. Some of them have the threat of punishment
Speaker 3: at the back of them, but I guess that was
Speaker 3: the times. A lot of them seem English and derivation,
Speaker 3: I mean, seem to be from the old country. A
Speaker 3: lot of the responses to what's for dinner? Oh, eight
Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine. You have
Speaker 3: some good ones. I think we all have. I don't
Speaker 3: necessarily know what if my kids asked me what my
Speaker 3: things would say, the things I would say would be,
Speaker 3: let's probably put it in your journal. But get in
Speaker 3: touch here till midnight oh eight hundred eighty, ten eighty
Speaker 3: and nine to nine to to text, plenty of texts.
Speaker 3: I will get to those before too long. Ten past ten,
Speaker 3: Good evening, make its Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 2: HI.
Speaker 14: When I was about eight or nine, we used a
Speaker 14: holiday with our grandpat in ash Version, and I remember
Speaker 14: by Nanny saying to me, many deans will get you.
Speaker 14: And I didn't have a clue who any deans was,
Speaker 14: but I read a couple of articles on later on
Speaker 14: in life. I thought, how could my lovely grandmother come
Speaker 14: out with that?
Speaker 3: Tell me that I just you just glitched about. What
Speaker 3: was the Bernie, what you said?
Speaker 12: What was the.
Speaker 30: What?
Speaker 3: When would she say? What would she say? And when
Speaker 3: would she say it?
Speaker 14: Well, when I was if I was laughty, I was
Speaker 14: staying with her, she would say, if you don't behave yourself,
Speaker 14: many deans will get you, okay, and many beans. The
Speaker 14: baby in the middle of your area somewhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you one thing I've the one thing
Speaker 3: I have learned about many deans, having read widely about her,
Speaker 3: is that she was a great user of the rail system.
Speaker 3: She'd be training all across Southend in Otago, picking up
Speaker 3: babies with their hat box and a heppen Anyway, nice
Speaker 3: to hear from you keep it going eight hundred and
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty nine to nine to detect tittle twelve,
Speaker 3: Good evening, Robert, Welcome.
Speaker 4: Today, Marcus. When we when mother had something that we
Speaker 4: wanted to know what it was, she'd say, it's a wig,
Speaker 4: one for a goose's bridle.
Speaker 3: Still we had that the last couple of hours. I've
Speaker 3: got It's not something I've ever heard before, but it
Speaker 3: seems as though it was something that people would say, Yes.
Speaker 2: It was quite quite a regular thing in our house.
Speaker 3: And a bridle is like what you put on a horse, right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to make six. Yeah, okay, I don't
Speaker 3: know if that's the thing exists, but it'd be good
Speaker 3: to make one. Robert, thank you for that. Our twelve
Speaker 3: past ten keeping coming. I'll get to some of the
Speaker 3: texts before too long. Yeah, threats and answers to stupid questions.
Speaker 3: It seems to be what we're on about tonight. Oh
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty hevery heavy thunder down
Speaker 3: the country. I think it's probably past. It was quite
Speaker 3: rapid and quite sudden, but the met Service seem concerned
Speaker 3: pushing out sudden alerts. I think probably the only road
Speaker 3: that is still closed will be the Chai Mais. Sorry,
Speaker 3: the road across the Kaimis, and that's both lanes closed.
Speaker 3: Some MESSI slip. So yeah, we'll get the light of day,
Speaker 3: we'll see the horror of that, and no doubt that
Speaker 3: will be closed for some time. That would be my prediction. Oh,
Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine to text.
Speaker 3: Often when you'd ask Watsford and he'd say glass of water,
Speaker 3: the worm in it. Which is quite good. One of
Speaker 3: my dad's favorites he made up was one wallow does
Speaker 3: not a swimmer mate. My Scottish nan would say, close
Speaker 3: the window. What do you think it is? Fresh air
Speaker 3: fortnight that I like? I like that a lot. I
Speaker 3: might use that because kids with doors and windows terrible Marcus.
Speaker 3: My mother would say, when we asked Watsford dinner, we
Speaker 3: have two choices. Tonight take it or leave it up
Speaker 3: to you. Any of them. Here's a good one. It's
Speaker 3: a good sexist one. When I didn't do things quite right,
Speaker 3: my father would say, six Months of the South and
Speaker 3: Girl's High would do you the world of God. It's
Speaker 3: kind of its confidence boosting. Oh wait, ten and eighty,
Speaker 3: come on more, more, more, more more. Marcus would say,
Speaker 3: if we were not tidy, we looked like the wreck
Speaker 3: of the hesper the reck of the hesperis. I don't
Speaker 3: quite know much of the reck of the Hesperus. I'll
Speaker 3: google that up. Looking forward to your call to people,
Speaker 3: the cryptic, strange and vaguely threatening things your parents would say.
Speaker 3: This was me, having crowdsourced the topic for Mother's Day.
Speaker 3: I think we're done all right with it. Actually, the
Speaker 3: reck of the Hesperus. I think the reck of the
Speaker 3: hespers might have been fictitious. It was a long Fellow poem.
Speaker 3: Long Fellow, the reck of the Hesperus be tonight's reading
Speaker 3: before I.
Speaker 29: Go to bed.
Speaker 3: Hello, Nora, it's Marcus. Welcome here, Hi Marcus.
Speaker 20: Yes, long terms. My mother used to say, which I've
Speaker 20: now put my grandchildren, show me your friends and I'll
Speaker 20: tell you who you are? Birds of us feather flocked together?
Speaker 3: Was it both together? I had two different sayings?
Speaker 27: What was that?
Speaker 20: Two different sayings? Here bird of us, heather flock together?
Speaker 2: Or show me your.
Speaker 20: Friends and I'll tell you who you are. And my
Speaker 20: grandchildren often say to me, oh, Nana, I can remember
Speaker 20: what your mother used to say.
Speaker 3: Very good, Nora, thank you for that. This is a
Speaker 3: good one. My mother used to say, I'm on the
Speaker 3: verge of a nervous breakdown, and you won't be happy
Speaker 3: till I end up and put your door. I think
Speaker 3: that's where the it's probably called an asylum in those days.
Speaker 3: It's with a psychiatric hospital. Was it still is? When
Speaker 3: talking to grandmother, if I said well and then in silence,
Speaker 3: she would have replied, well, well, well, said the blind
Speaker 3: man talking to the deaf man on the phone. When
Speaker 3: we asked the mother what was for dinner, she would say,
Speaker 3: wait and see pie. Good evening, Kevin. It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 31: Yeah, good evening, Marcus. I used to ask my father
Speaker 31: how he was. His reply was a box of birds
Speaker 31: and they're all curping.
Speaker 3: Do you say that ironically or was he quite a
Speaker 3: happy sort of a unit.
Speaker 31: Oh he was quite happy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good. Happy to hear that, Kevin, Thank you. Eighteen
Speaker 3: past ten. My mother used to say, let's have a
Speaker 3: bit of light on the subject when going into a
Speaker 3: dark room Marcus. When we're at my mate's place in
Speaker 3: our teens, his mum would come down and say, what's
Speaker 3: going on down here? It sounds like the tickawity pub.
Speaker 3: My aunt used to say say, if you don't behave all,

Speaker 32: tent and say you, Mum, how old was she? Well,
Speaker 32: that's that's a good question. I didn't ask.
Speaker 14: I was just too.
Speaker 32: So let's just find out, she said, a little girl.

Speaker 3: I had two chances, shit show and no show. My
Speaker 3: father in law would tell my children if they asked
Speaker 3: what was for dessod, he would say fried snowballs and
Speaker 3: a helping of wind. Would ask mom where we were going?

Speaker 3: good sue?
Speaker 4: Hello, Hi, Hi.

Speaker 33: I see it all.
Speaker 19: She loves them.
Speaker 33: I'll fix that woman, I'll marry her mother. And we

Speaker 10: And then yes, oh, what's for dinner?
Speaker 25: Pick your feet?

Speaker 3: eels don't have feet. That's the irony. It's imaginary, isn't it.
Speaker 20: Yes, And the power of a hospital has gone we
Speaker 20: were talking about two minutes ago.
Speaker 3: There's still something that's got a different name, has it.
Speaker 10: No, they pulled the whole building down and got of
Speaker 10: a retirement villa.
Speaker 3: Okay, is there a hospital there? And that's and and
Speaker 3: it's on a different site.
Speaker 8: Is it sort of.
Speaker 10: Say, yeah, different site, but it's fairy close to where
Speaker 10: it was.
Speaker 3: Yes, good, I'm glad they knocked down those things are
Speaker 3: always such wanting buildings. Yes, okay, yes, well that's always
Speaker 3: interesting when people sort of say the threats of ending
Speaker 3: up and psydechic. I guess that was quite common in
Speaker 3: those days, and you might have something to say about
Speaker 3: that also tonight. One o hddle twelve Marcus, my grandma
Speaker 3: born nineteen oh eight would say, in reference to having children,
Speaker 3: this is good people, you'll be triggered by this. My
Speaker 3: grandma born in ninety their weight, would say, in reference
Speaker 3: to having children, keep the best and drown the rest. Wow,
Speaker 3: that's pretty old school, good living. Sundra ates Marcus.
Speaker 29: Welcome, Oh evening, Marcus. It's an enjoyable show tonight. I've
Speaker 29: got one t three sayns. My dad used to say,
Speaker 29: I'm a poet and didn't know at my feet are long,
Speaker 29: long fellows.
Speaker 3: It's quite good.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, was a type of potato, do, wasn't it.
Speaker 29: I don't know about a potato. I know he was
Speaker 29: a poet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I think they might also be
Speaker 3: potatoes anyway.
Speaker 29: Yeah, my mum used to say who does he think
Speaker 29: he is? Ten firrup in the best possible taste. And
Speaker 29: I've got a favorite saying. When I'm asked how old
Speaker 29: i am, I just say I'm not old. I've just
Speaker 29: been young a very long time.
Speaker 3: I think you'd have to I think I think you'd
Speaker 3: have to say. I think you'd have to say that
Speaker 3: it was referring to the potato. I don't think the
Speaker 3: long fellow joke would work otherwise. Oh okay, yeah, maybe
Speaker 3: maybe I might be right. This is you feed our
Speaker 3: long fellows. Yeah, I can't quite work out that might
Speaker 3: work on two levels or three different central think about
Speaker 3: that one for a while. Good evening, Rosset's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 19: Yeah, can I Marcus? I yeah, I guess a bit
Speaker 19: of a quote that my mum used to say. She
Speaker 19: was an old lady, and she used to used to
Speaker 19: not like girls wearing short skirts and that sort of
Speaker 19: stuff and things, and she used to say, sights you
Speaker 19: see when you haven't got your gun, which is probably
Speaker 19: not very nice, to be honest, but.
Speaker 3: Not that discreet. Ross thank you, Steve, Marcus.
Speaker 31: Good evening, Yeah, good day, Marcus, great programmer. As usual,
Speaker 31: my father used to threaten us with specialification, and we
Speaker 31: never knew what it was, but he always said it
Speaker 31: in a kind of a jovial manner, as if it
Speaker 31: were something nice. But he also had a saying whenever
Speaker 31: in circumstances like we might be wedding at some traffic
Speaker 31: lights in the car and the lights would turn read
Speaker 31: before we we got to go through, and he'd say
Speaker 31: too late. She cried and waved her wooden leg, and
Speaker 31: he'd say that sometimes he would if we were driving
Speaker 31: past to bust up and those days, it says, early
Speaker 31: days of the trams in the middle of the road
Speaker 31: in Auckland where they went up and down the concrete strips,
Speaker 31: and occasionally'd be driving and you'd see somebody running after
Speaker 31: the tram or running after a bus. He'd say, too late.
Speaker 31: She cried and waved a wooden leg. And when that
Speaker 31: lady talked about spifl speification, I wondered whether anybody had
Speaker 31: ever heard of that phrase. We never knew quite what
Speaker 31: it meant.
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's quite.
Speaker 3: Per because I like he puts the third person as
Speaker 3: though he's not even himself, like he's narrating sort of
Speaker 3: a scene. Too late, she cried as she waved her
Speaker 3: wooden leg is at it.
Speaker 31: Yeah, yeah, that's that's That's the other thing he used
Speaker 31: to say when we'd leave the doors open when he
Speaker 31: was trying to warm up a room in the house.
Speaker 31: You'd say, born an a tent as usual, born an
Speaker 31: a tent, and you know we'd have to rush over
Speaker 31: and close the doors. But that was one phrase that
Speaker 31: we never really knew what it was. And I thought
Speaker 31: you must have read in a book somewhere. It sounded
Speaker 31: like a quote from somewhere, but I don't know where
Speaker 31: it was from.
Speaker 3: Well, look to think I've had so many phrases come
Speaker 3: through tonight, but no one's mentioned that.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 31: Well, I don't know whether it's sort of it doesn't
Speaker 31: make a lot of sense really, but it was a
Speaker 31: bit of a bit of fun. We always laughed when
Speaker 31: you see it, and you drag it out every now
Speaker 31: and again randomly. But anyway, good to hear all these
Speaker 31: old things.
Speaker 3: I think, just from a quick look Steve.
Speaker 10: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: The phrase too late, too late, she cried as she
Speaker 3: waved her wooden league in the air. Is a line
Speaker 3: from the poem and the Highwayman by Alfred Noise that
Speaker 3: a highwayman who is portrayed by his lover and dies
Speaker 3: in a shootout with the authorities. The lighter's rheumatic moment
Speaker 3: and the poem emphasizing and the desperate, tragic and desperate
Speaker 3: nature of the situation. But someone someone also says, from
Speaker 3: a Pink Floyd song, so I'm gonna do some quick
Speaker 3: research on that because it's very good. But I will
Speaker 3: report back, Steve, thank you. My husband would say to
Speaker 3: our children, I'll smeck you so hard your shirt will
Speaker 3: run up your back like a blind Lovely, isn't it.
Speaker 3: My dad used to tell me when I was being annoying,
Speaker 3: go and tell your mother she wants you. Well, that's good.
Speaker 3: My granddads used to say, uncooked joints off the table
Speaker 3: when we had elbows on the table. That's quite able
Speaker 3: to do that before uncooked joints off the table. My
Speaker 3: grandmother was born in eighteen eighty eight. If I was
Speaker 3: talking loudly or shouting, she would say, be quiet, you
Speaker 3: sound like a fish wife. Very odd to a child
Speaker 3: imagining fish getting married. As a child, I was watching
Speaker 3: TV so much, my mother would say to me, my
Speaker 3: job was to make sure the couch doesn't fly out
Speaker 3: the window. Halftime in the Rugby League fourteen nil Brisbane
Speaker 3: over the South. Alistair, Hello Marcus, evening.
Speaker 30: Hello Marcus. When I was very young, mine Molo would
Speaker 30: ask me to do a job or something and I
Speaker 30: would forget sometimes that she would say, your train, I
Speaker 30: thought has left the station.
Speaker 3: Yes, how did that make you feel?
Speaker 30: Ah, couldn't worry on me?
Speaker 3: Good on, Thanks Alistair, your trainer thought has left the station.
Speaker 3: Now people are sitting through outback Australian quotes. We're actually
Speaker 3: talking more about Mother's Day, the cryptic things your mother
Speaker 3: would say to you that might cut you down or
Speaker 3: might not twelve to eleven here till midnight Jim Steedden
Speaker 3: from twelve Chris good evening, Welcome, Hi Marcus.
Speaker 10: I was just to hear somebody say something about asking
Speaker 10: what's for tea and the mother or father father probably
Speaker 10: would answer pickled, pickled eels toes or something. My father
Speaker 10: was yessed to say pickled eels toenails. And I'd ask
Speaker 10: him what the time was and he'd say it's half
Speaker 10: pass called it from that, which I've never heard anybody
Speaker 10: else say that before, and that's saying eat it up,
Speaker 10: wear it out, do with or do without, and I
Speaker 10: think kids of today could learn that one.
Speaker 34: Wear it out, do with or do with?
Speaker 10: They are like it. It is a good one, isn't that.
Speaker 3: We'll go on a T shirt. Chris, thank you for that.
Speaker 3: Good evening, Peter, this is Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 2: Yes, good evening, Marcus. I'm saying I used to I
Speaker 2: heard from my neighbor when I was a young child
Speaker 2: and I was watching him and working in his workshop
Speaker 2: and he was building something that I'd inquire what he
Speaker 2: was making, and his response that I still remember was
Speaker 2: he's building a wigwam for a goose's bridle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had that a few times. That seems to
Speaker 3: be some that some people see quite often. Yes, that's
Speaker 3: not what It's not one I've ever heard, no me.
Speaker 2: I'm just still wondering where it ever came from. I
Speaker 2: understand the implications.
Speaker 3: The implications love. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, but thank you Peter,
Speaker 3: thank you Jeannett. It's Marcus. Good evening, Good evening.
Speaker 20: My mother was quite short, and she used to say,
Speaker 20: if my legs for longer, I'd be taller.
Speaker 3: Where did she say that all the time?
Speaker 20: Oh, there's someone queried where she was so short?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, And if you ask.
Speaker 20: My dad how old he was, he would say, I'm
Speaker 20: as old as my tongue and a little older than
Speaker 20: my teeth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's good too, isn't he. That's quite literal. Okay, good night,
Speaker 3: Thank you, Jeanette. As a young girl, I learned about
Speaker 3: the weather with the saying there's enough blue sky to
Speaker 3: make a sailor a suit. My dad still sees when
Speaker 3: commenting on pathetic leadership, the world is shot for the
Speaker 3: want of an Irish king. I have never heard anyone
Speaker 3: else ever say it, but with a bit of looking
Speaker 3: on Google, and it was a key we quote for
Speaker 3: play in the sixties. Aha, she cried as she waved
Speaker 3: her wooden leg and her glass eye fill out and
Speaker 3: what we were quoted? Can you tell me a bit
Speaker 3: more about that, because I can't find that anywhere?
Speaker 16: That one?
Speaker 21: Hello, Faye, Oh, I guess when there was a girl
Speaker 21: I'm eighty six now, we lived in a house and
Speaker 21: had a coal range, and we used to have a
Speaker 21: coal man used to come and deliver coal and he
Speaker 21: had a big sack on his back and he was
Speaker 21: covered and you know, coldness. And Mum always threatened me
Speaker 21: when I was naughty, the coal man would take me
Speaker 21: away and his sack. One day there was a knock
Speaker 21: at the door and I opened the door and there
Speaker 21: he was standing there with his heat his sack, and
Speaker 21: I screamed and then got under my Yes, the poor
Speaker 21: man had just come to the door for money for
Speaker 21: delivering the coal. And I can still remember it to
Speaker 21: this day.
Speaker 13: It was rightening.
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3: Really good story, Faith, Thanks for that. Wow, someone has
Speaker 3: texted through.

Speaker 3: of arguing with us, he would say, and if your
Speaker 3: grandmother would have had wheels, she would have been a bike.

Speaker 34: My mum used to say when we were naughty, my
Speaker 34: brother and I, I would have been better off with
Speaker 34: a set of jugs.
Speaker 3: I like that because it's quite straightforward and quite brutal,
Speaker 3: isn't it.
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I would always say, well, after me they
Speaker 20: broke the mold.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, better off of the set of jugs. That's
Speaker 3: brilliant any more from her? Any more from her? Oh,

Speaker 3: she would have been my brother. One would at times
Speaker 3: when we looked uncomfortable, say, you look as awkward as
Speaker 3: a pig with a souviette. Now some for a good
Speaker 3: ones coming through, Now, Marcus, you know what thought did,
Speaker 3: don't you. We stuck a feather on the ground and
Speaker 3: thought to grow a rooster.
Speaker 18: Now.
Speaker 3: My mother used to say she couldn't come and do
Speaker 3: something because she had a bone and a leg. As
Speaker 3: a kid, I thought that was a very valid reason.
Speaker 3: If I was trying to be clever, my dad would say, well,
Speaker 3: there's no flies on you, but I can see where
Speaker 3: they've been now, Marcus. A favorite of mine was when
Speaker 3: I was in the way, the grandfather used to say,
Speaker 3: your father wasn't a glass blower. That's a variation on
Speaker 3: you're a better door than a window, Marcus. My mother
Speaker 3: used to say, when you ask why she was doing
Speaker 3: something for fun and fancy to please old men. Old
Speaker 3: desserts were always called wait and see. I brought you
Speaker 3: into this world. I can take you out of it.
Speaker 3: Mother always said, it's pretty full on, isn't it. Get
Speaker 3: in touch you on talk, by the way, than to
Speaker 3: be talking, not a saying. When our dad used to
Speaker 3: get frustrated with us as children, he would tell us
Speaker 3: to go put our heads in a bucket of water
Speaker 3: twice and take it out once. Marcus, my grandfather used
Speaker 3: to call me tuppance too. I don't know why, and
Speaker 3: then he abbreviated to tups. Oh wait n eight ten eighty, Jenny,
Speaker 3: good evening, Marcus welcome.
Speaker 29: Oh hi Marcus.
Speaker 17: My dad used to call me tuppance too when I
Speaker 17: was a little kid. When we used to come home
Speaker 17: sometimes and ask when Mom was Dad, as he was there,
Speaker 17: would say, oh, she's up in Annie's room. We didn't
Speaker 17: even have a Nannie in the family, but it usually
Speaker 17: meant she was up in the bedroom or somewhere. She
Speaker 17: was up in Annie's And if we came home and
Speaker 17: said Mum was dad, she would say, I always gone
Speaker 17: to see a man about a dog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, think that one's quite composite. I've never heard there
Speaker 3: as a child, but you I've heard people since say that.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 17: And my mother used to tell me as I got
Speaker 17: a little bit older, she used to tell me I
Speaker 17: had too much false pride, and I didn't know what
Speaker 17: she meant. It wasn't till I grew up really that
Speaker 17: I realized she meant that I thought I was better
Speaker 17: than I was.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I always Yeah, I'm never quite sure about
Speaker 3: false pride. It doesn't sometimes be in the opposite. But
Speaker 3: if you know what I'm saying, Yes, that's what I
Speaker 3: think she meant. Yes, you're probably rights. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Everyone was called tuppence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 17: I was very affictuate to him. I think for your
