Speaker 3: Well I don't have the internet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you ring up a televis you don't
Speaker 2: have internet. He'd think, oh, well, it means clean the
Speaker 2: internet out. He doesn't know that you're actually having it
Speaker 2: for two years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a year and a Half's Marcus. What I was
Speaker 3: going to say about the government, and that is to
Speaker 3: as you get professional people in from the other side
Speaker 3: of the world to come in and manage the situation
Speaker 3: we're in because I think we're a little bit naive.
Speaker 3: Is what healthing is worth in the world.
Speaker 2: But you can't keep an eye on them because you've
Speaker 2: got no media.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, Marcus, that's if you see it
Speaker 3: and hear it, you carry it with you and it
Speaker 3: lives with you, it lives inside you.
Speaker 2: Okay, not quite the discussion I want to start off
Speaker 2: with today, but thank you. I appreciate you coming through.
Speaker 2: I was more concerned to sort up people the internet
Speaker 2: out of just people. So get in touch of you,
Speaker 2: ort to talk one him is Marcus, welcome, So I
Speaker 2: am on about people. If you've lost Internet, give me
Speaker 2: a holo quickly. Just think we're got how I think
Speaker 2: it's Auckland, Wellington and christ Church. Marcus did the reboot?
Speaker 2: Internet still down and Pam you r Auclins at about
Speaker 2: seven thirty listening on iHeart on my phone using Sparky
Speaker 2: Data good Intel Reinternet. Will be listening Janet to any
Speaker 2: information about the Internet that's down. Let me know what.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it goes down. I don't know
Speaker 2: where it comes these days through the phone under the house.
Speaker 2: All I know when they put the cable on, they
Speaker 2: didn't put the currogated iron back. Tony, Marcus, welcome here.
Speaker 5: Marcus, Mom and Fong Ray. And we don't have any
Speaker 5: internet up here where I am trying to get in
Speaker 5: touch with the provider. And they apparently go close up
Speaker 5: shop at eight o'clock and they tell you to leave
Speaker 5: post a thing on boardband, sending your complaint on boardband.
Speaker 5: If you have any Internet, you can't.
Speaker 2: Anything because you haven't got the broad band. That's like saying, oh,
Speaker 2: they need to be taken out and put out to pasture.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I can imagine how frustrated people would be
Speaker 2: if they're depending on the Internet for their business and
Speaker 2: it says email us. People would be throwing their computers
Speaker 2: against the wall.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I did say there's been a bit of that tonight.
Speaker 5: So and they closed the customer service at eight o'clock. Well,
Speaker 5: my internet was out before seven point thirty and I
Speaker 5: couldn't get through. There was no It said that I've
Speaker 5: phoned outside the hours, But on the on the web
Speaker 5: it says that they don't close till eight o'clock.
Speaker 2: So that sounds like it. It sounds that they waited
Speaker 2: went home from work before they kicked the can and
Speaker 2: broke the whole thing.
Speaker 5: Could be. Can I ask you a question, because you're
Speaker 5: close to the hydro lakes down there, have we got
Speaker 5: enough water for electricity throughout the the winter.
Speaker 2: Last time I was in Tiana, which would be eight
Speaker 2: eight weeks ago. Seven weeks ago, I surprised how little
Speaker 2: water there was in there, and there hasn't been a
Speaker 2: great deal of rain since it's been through dry down south.
Speaker 2: I imagine you can check the levels, can you.
Speaker 5: I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Should you be worrying about it?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just worried if we've had a lot of rain,
Speaker 5: that the levels have risen, that the price doesn't seem
Speaker 5: to have come down, and the price went up because
Speaker 5: we're supposedly going to be short of electricity throughout the winter.
Speaker 2: That's like butter. When no one's buying it overseas, we're
Speaker 2: still paying arm in the leg. But when it's up
Speaker 2: in priced, whoop up she goes. It's like one of
Speaker 2: those things that goes out, doesn't come down.
Speaker 5: That's correct.
Speaker 2: Comparative lake levels. I'm trying to read new data here.
Speaker 2: They're well though. I'm looking at National High. They're trending
Speaker 2: back up towards the average. I'm looking at Pookaki, looking
Speaker 2: at Southide, looking at Tiana is up above the medium now,
Speaker 2: so we're all right there. Manipur is up above the medium. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's only it's but fevery March April May they're well below,
Speaker 2: but just towards the end of the May, they're trending
Speaker 2: towards back up to normal.
Speaker 5: So does that mean electricity prices will come down?
Speaker 2: Tony? The thing that confuses me is the line fees,
Speaker 2: because didn't we pay for the lines ourselves? Isn't it
Speaker 2: like government infrastructure?
Speaker 5: That's correct, yes, the.
Speaker 2: While we paying line fees. I mean, I've never really
Speaker 2: understood power or how the model works, but it confuses
Speaker 2: me in some ways.
Speaker 5: But isn't the line fees or the maintenance in upgrading.
Speaker 2: Oh is it what they call it line maintenance?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 2: Is it the linesman and those cherry pickers that's this?
Speaker 2: See they well gets eighty bucks a month. Thank you, Tony.
Speaker 2: Sixteen past eight Marcus Internet good with all, Good with
Speaker 2: spark party. Marcus. Just checking the chorus outage map for you.
Speaker 2: The outages seem to be copper outages in Auckland, christ Church, Hamilton,
Speaker 2: Mudapara and other areas south of the tron. So there's
Speaker 2: a chorus outage map. Who knew chorus outage map?
Speaker 8: Gee?
Speaker 2: People, how would they check that if they? Oh, they'd
Speaker 2: be someone where they've got the internet. Oh, yes there is.
Speaker 2: That's a very good map. I don't think it's Murdapara.
Speaker 2: It's Katiki which is west of Rorimu and all Fungoh,
Speaker 2: but you're right about Murdapata. That's out. It's kind of
Speaker 2: weird the places that are out actually, but Auckland, fang
Speaker 2: aare and maybe all Mokeroa and the South Island christ
Speaker 2: Church or Lincoln that seems to be out. Also, if
Speaker 2: you want to talk about this eight hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: tendy with you until twelve. I hope it's good where
Speaker 2: you are some of the other stuff. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: there is this sculpture in Topour. I woke up that
Speaker 2: seemed to be people getting hot and bothered about that.
Speaker 2: I thought it was very good. I thought that's one
Speaker 2: of the best new bits of public art. We had
Speaker 2: it for a long long time, so anyway, well done
Speaker 2: them for that. I think the money was volunteered, was
Speaker 2: it given? Because by the way, there's no real reason
Speaker 2: to go through Topra anymore because you just go around it.
Speaker 2: But i'd go and look at this ten meter tall dinosaur.
Speaker 2: That's a knockout. That's hilarious. Looks like it's an inflated balloon.
Speaker 2: So well done them for that. The Topal District Council
Speaker 2: granted a one off, one hundred thousand dollars grant towards
Speaker 2: the sculpture, but the grant is act some reasons. Are
Speaker 2: facing a rates increase of more than eight percent. It
Speaker 2: won't be because of the dinosaur. It'll be through your water.
Speaker 2: It'll be for three waters done right or whatever. That's
Speaker 2: where it'll be. We had your choice, but it's not
Speaker 2: the dinosaur. But I'll be going next time. I'll be
Speaker 2: going straight in there. Buying the kids lunch just to
Speaker 2: see that dinosaur that looks fantastic. So that's happened anyway,
Speaker 2: Get in touch by name's Marcus. Welcome Marcus. We're in Johnsonville, Wellington.
Speaker 2: The past two days we're at intermittent internet. Thought it
Speaker 2: was just us. My teenager's life has been completely ruined
Speaker 2: for now. The other thing I've enjoyed reading about today,
Speaker 2: and I've often heard about this, but I've never found
Speaker 2: the article. And this is about the Frenchman who waited
Speaker 2: an entire cestna one point fifty after learning at age
Speaker 2: nine that his stomach could digest metal. At age nine,
Speaker 2: he realized he could digest metal and turn his ability
Speaker 2: to career, eating things like bicycles, shopping carts, and even
Speaker 2: a chandelier. His condition, called peka ah Ha, let him
Speaker 2: safety consume about two pounds of metal daily. He'd break
Speaker 2: them into small items, swallow them with mineral oil, and
Speaker 2: his strong stomach. Acid's handled the rest by the death
Speaker 2: of two thousand and seven and desert from natural cause,
Speaker 2: eating nearly nine tons of metal with a cest to
Speaker 2: his most famous feet. I'm not going to ask you
Speaker 2: have you eaten a sesta, but that thought something. We
Speaker 2: could start talking. What's your unusual ability? Have you got one? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll be curious about that. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 2: but yeah, fancy that. I often read about the guy
Speaker 2: that met eight and a sistem that can't be true,
Speaker 2: but there it goes. There's the article. So get in touch.
Speaker 2: You on to be a part of the show. To
Speaker 2: Marcus till twelve as I say, oh, eight hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty Teddy right about the internet, Marcus, ind it is
Speaker 2: working in Pappa Toy Toy. Good to know. And your
Speaker 2: unusual ability because you don't often meet people with unusual abilities,
Speaker 2: or maybe someone you know that's got an unusual ability.
Speaker 2: And now I'm thinking about I don't know what. I
Speaker 2: would ring up and say what I'm into it his
Speaker 2: unusual abilities if you've got one of those for me?
Speaker 2: And that sculpture. Anyone actually seen the sculpture in Topaul.
Speaker 2: It's nice to have a dinosaur because we've got everything else,
Speaker 2: but nothing anything as fantastic as that. Good evening, esh,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus, welcome, greetings.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I just got to talk to you again.
Speaker 9: You need but you can need me into the to

Speaker 9: spine and we're on pulse. Everyone's down.
Speaker 2: Who's your internet with?
Speaker 10: There?
Speaker 3: Ish pulse?
Speaker 9: Okay, there's a great pair of innersative thing that that
Speaker 9: everything a bit cheaper. And then and the and the
Speaker 9: intimate speeds they get croppled.
Speaker 3: So it's a good love.
Speaker 2: How did you know it was down?
Speaker 9: I can't get TV. You can't get in the computer
Speaker 9: or the TV.
Speaker 2: That's TV went through it too, isn't it. That's like yeah, okay.
Speaker 9: So I checked online and you just just confirmed on
Speaker 9: the phone that comes that it's down and they're working
Speaker 9: on it.
Speaker 2: They've got a reconnection date.
Speaker 9: Yesterday would be good.
Speaker 2: Not from me, thank you? Do we twenty six past
Speaker 2: eight Internet? It's down, by the way. And as far
Speaker 2: as the guy that ate the Cessna plane, Scott has texted,
Speaker 2: did he season the Cessna? Or was a little plane?
Speaker 11: Very good?
Speaker 2: My dad has the usual ability to anor my mother,
Speaker 2: but she still loves him. To Darcy age eleven, Thank you,
Speaker 2: Darcy Marcus. A sculpcher at the roundabout at Paaleeri is amazing.
Speaker 2: It's the Bird of Peace by Fred Graham, who sadly
Speaker 2: died recently such a talented used in sculptor. That's right, yes,
Speaker 2: and a great age too. He looked amazing. I think
Speaker 2: it was at ninety five. So that's that eagle that's
Speaker 2: near the one on the way to Tito and a hobbiton.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know who funded that. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 2: but that's the one within the roundabout, I think. So
Speaker 2: get in touching you on talk. My name is Marcus.
Speaker 2: Welcome twenty six past eight. Interesting abilities that you possess
Speaker 2: or some of that you know possesses. I don't know
Speaker 2: what these would be, but I'm up for the discussion.
Speaker 2: I've never known anyone that could eat metal. We had
Speaker 2: restaurant strong stomach acids. Marcus, boom boom. The dinosaur looks
Speaker 2: like a cheap blow up foil balloon. I think that's
Speaker 2: the point. That certainly is the point. I would think
Speaker 2: someone said it should have been a glorious rainbow trout.
Speaker 2: We've got enough of those. Gus got one, and Rakay's
Speaker 2: got the giant salmon. Salmon. My angling dad would be
Speaker 2: rolling as Grave moved from New Zealand from the UK
Speaker 2: in just a fish toupur. Well we can have fish
Speaker 2: and a dinosaur. I'm all another giant dinosaur. I'm sick
Speaker 2: of the canockers. When was the last time we had
Speaker 2: a knockout like that? Like something? Wow, it's got it all,
Speaker 2: it's controversial, it looks great and it's modern. It's about
Speaker 2: time Tope had a bit of a rebrand. Dinosaurs used
Speaker 2: to roam around here. Someone says, they're in the Mohaka
Speaker 2: River out on the Napier Topol Road. Here we go,
Speaker 2: there we go. So yeah, they say Tope was famous
Speaker 2: for the Iron Man, the supercars, about time, the kind
Speaker 2: of the arts com when he got a heads in
Speaker 2: By the way, someone, it's coming back. People should restart
Speaker 2: their router if it's not been working and try again
Speaker 2: every ten to fifteen minutes. What does that mean? Dan?
Speaker 2: When you start just turned something off and on?
Speaker 10: Do you.
Speaker 2: Unplug it? Counter ten? Count another ten, then plug it
Speaker 2: back and again. I don't know why ten seconds happens
Speaker 2: to be the special length of time. Get in touch.
Speaker 2: My name is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred eighty ten eighty
Speaker 2: nine ninety two to text. If there's something else you
Speaker 2: want to mention, good the internetut is, but maybe your
Speaker 2: strange ability. The only other topic I've got for you
Speaker 2: now is in the UK they want to go back
Speaker 2: to a three term year and have the longest summer break.
Speaker 2: I think the theory is the long summer break means
Speaker 2: that the children absorb what they're learning. But I've heard
Speaker 2: the reverse also that they forget what they're learning in
Speaker 2: the long break. See you might have an opinion about that. Also,
Speaker 2: he found out what the cheapest petrol in the country is.
Speaker 2: It's you Go, No, you Go. It's a great name
Speaker 2: for a guessie, you Go Waikaraka yep, according to according
Speaker 2: to Gasby always love a gasby shout out, Oh it's

Speaker 2: good evening him.
Speaker 4: I can't wait till we get the roll for the
Speaker 4: train going to in Becabo. The leading again.
Speaker 2: Should be waiting a long time.
Speaker 4: No, they said a couple of rides, and I reckon
Speaker 4: it's going to go ahead.
Speaker 2: They only started a couple of rides because they wanted
Speaker 2: to keep the There was there's maintenance on the trans
Speaker 2: Alpine and they had that sphere conscious to keep the
Speaker 2: staff going. So I think they've run those to kind
Speaker 2: of appease people, but they're extraordinarily expensive, like four times
Speaker 2: a cost of flying.
Speaker 4: You know Beckham the day with Steve you fly? No, No,
Speaker 4: But Beckham the David had a step party and you're
Speaker 4: throwing mate on the train. He put him under the
Speaker 4: weather stick in the train before he got married. And
Speaker 4: you've got your pactors.
Speaker 2: Brilliant, that's inspired. So he'd wake up, wake up, hangover,
Speaker 2: didn't know where he was yet. Did you did you
Speaker 2: do that to anyone?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 4: We didn't have a couple of guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did they make?
Speaker 7: Did they make?
Speaker 2: Did they make their wedding?

Speaker 4: But Beckham David, that's what we've done with I can't
Speaker 4: really tell you. Marcus.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's a were you born in the thirties?
Speaker 3: Plus this?

Speaker 4: Cutting four Stevie's pause.
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you hang on? Would you serve cold meat
Speaker 2: pies cutting four.
Speaker 4: Well, probably not, okay, I heard that.
Speaker 2: I'll find out much. There's always someone about the trains,
Speaker 2: aren't they. I want to know what your unusual ability is.
Speaker 2: I'm still going to ask about that. Come on, people
Speaker 2: with your unusual abilities. It might be double jointed in
Speaker 2: this or it might be Marcus had no internet for
Speaker 2: an hour. It just came back on. Now I had
Speaker 2: to hotspot the old work phone. You could do watching
Speaker 2: my show. I listened to the raady at the same time.
Speaker 2: Good at multitasking one point five gigs for an hour
Speaker 2: is scrolling and streaming. You have two choices. The choice
Speaker 2: that you take the direction of the show is up
Speaker 2: to you. We can go three year term. Should we
Speaker 2: bring it back? Doesn't sound an interesting from a topic,
Speaker 2: as I said out loud, or we could say your
Speaker 2: or your people, you know they are extraordinary abilities. On
Speaker 2: the back of the story about the man that I'd
Speaker 2: assessed in a plane, it ate with with olive oil
Speaker 2: or vegetable oil, mineral oil. He'd break items into small
Speaker 2: pieces and swallow them with mineral mineral oil. Michael Lo Tito.
Speaker 2: They don't have to be someone that can eat a plane,
Speaker 2: But what's your unusual ability anything at all? Apart from yodling.
Speaker 2: He might even do yodling. Yes, he was known as
Speaker 2: mister moncheur mange tout, which translate as mister eat all.
Speaker 2: Fit's eating a plane, but other stuff like bananas gave
Speaker 2: him heartburn. He ate a shopping trolley. You wouldn't go hungry.
Speaker 2: Nine tons of metal, although fact checker says it's hard
Speaker 2: to ap previate the plane, but certainly he could have
Speaker 2: died of natural cause at fifty seven forty five door hinges,
Speaker 2: eighteen bicycles, fifteen chopping carts, seven TV sets, six chandeliers,
Speaker 2: two beds, one pair of skis, one computer, one copy
Speaker 2: of the textbook Gravitation by mister Thorn and Wheeler, one
Speaker 2: sister aircraft, one water bed full of water, five hundred
Speaker 2: meters of steel chain at once, one coffin with handles.
Speaker 2: This is the kick. And they gave him a Guinness
Speaker 2: the Guinness Book of Records gave him a plaque and
Speaker 2: a metal plark as an award.
Speaker 13: He ate that.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a power move to eat the award. Yeah,
Speaker 2: assorted raises and bolts. Yeah, there is a picture book
Speaker 2: in his life called how to Eat an Aeroplane. I
Speaker 2: think I pronounced that wrong. So your unusual skills, Marcus,
Speaker 2: he probably died of too much plaque on his teeth.
Speaker 2: Better to rust out than fade away, Marcus. My extraordinary
Speaker 2: ability is poetry. I ring and shortly. Yes, we don't
Speaker 2: do poems. You know why we don't do poems because
Speaker 2: people that think that ring the radio think that they
Speaker 2: think that it's always dreadful. They're always fighting for a rhyme.
Speaker 2: Anyone been to you go the gas station? I can't
Speaker 2: imagine it's rebells and whistley?
Speaker 5: Is it you go?
Speaker 2: I guess one of those chup and cheerful ones. We
Speaker 2: pump and dump yourself, do you?
Speaker 7: Is that right?
Speaker 5: You go?
Speaker 2: It's a great name. Got to give them that, Marcus high.
Speaker 2: My unusual is ability is it sixty seven years of age,
Speaker 2: I am still able to get my right foot big
Speaker 2: toe up and into my mouth. I'm very proud of
Speaker 2: being able to do this, no mean feat. My friends
Speaker 2: won't even try this maneuver. Yeah, I could probably do that,
Speaker 2: although I'm not sixty seven. I don't know someone that
Speaker 2: could get their fists in their mouth too. But like
Speaker 2: beyond their teeth. That was pretty impressive. I won't say
Speaker 2: her name, but that was quite a skill. Marcus. I
Speaker 2: saw some road cones today. We haven't talked them for
Speaker 2: about them for a while, Mike, Yeah, I think that's
Speaker 2: an a. It's a bit like crumpets. You don't want
Speaker 2: to to once a year than crumpets. Roundabouts and road
Speaker 2: cones once a year, proven once every two years, I think.
Speaker 2: Glenn Glen, Glen Glen as Marcus, welcome. You sound like
Speaker 2: a live wire.
Speaker 10: Glynn.
Speaker 12: Hello, dear Marcus.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it is Glean here.
Speaker 12: I noticed that guy was talking earlier on about line
Speaker 12: chargers on player bills and just got rid of them
Speaker 12: quite quickly. But anyway, Mayor, I'm a lad back on
Speaker 12: from the second phone call that i've made.
Speaker 2: That were you. Were you on before talk about the Internet?
Speaker 12: No, no, that he would have let me on if
Speaker 12: I was talking about the ind but not about line charges.
Speaker 12: But you said it's open to him whatever you want
Speaker 12: to talk.
Speaker 2: That guy was called Glean too, was it?
Speaker 12: I don't know what his name has got no idea anyway.
Speaker 2: So it was Glenn. So already we've got already, we've
Speaker 2: got two glens.
Speaker 12: No, I don't know. I've got no idea how many
Speaker 12: gleanship I don't know.
Speaker 2: No, there was a there was a glen before. How
Speaker 2: many INDs of you got.
Speaker 3: Two?
Speaker 2: One?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 12: The differently different line charges were in fact line charges
Speaker 12: for years and years years, and that's the up to
Speaker 12: up the grade the infrastructure. And I don't know what's
Speaker 12: happened to the upgrading of the infrastructure, but now they
Speaker 12: want more money for line charge. What happened to the
Speaker 12: last to the people that investors of the pairer companies
Speaker 12: get all that money and there's not not much infrastructure
Speaker 12: gets upgraded. But it just seems that the actually electricity
Speaker 12: doesn't cost much, but the line charges cost more than
Speaker 12: the power.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it's a lot of weird and tear.
Speaker 2: Like there's those guys when they had to unbolt that
Speaker 2: tower and painted it fell over. That's what they're doing,
Speaker 2: aren't they? Maintenance?
Speaker 12: Well, it wasn't very good maintenance, so that maybe that's
Speaker 12: some of the line charges.
Speaker 2: Went exactly, it was terrible, that all the bolts.
Speaker 12: Terrible, But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking
Speaker 12: about real line, real maintenance, A lot fixing not destroying,
Speaker 12: And so where does that go ordered that all the
Speaker 12: line charges that of me and everyone else in New
Speaker 12: Zealand have paid for the last five years, went to
Speaker 12: fix that one payer pile on that fell over? Nothing
Speaker 12: seems that didn't fall over hang on, it got well
Speaker 12: bad maintenance. We just arrest the line charges. And now
Speaker 12: they want all the line charges to upgrade all the systems.
Speaker 12: And where's the arrest of the line charges with all?
Speaker 12: It's not only me, it's everybody. I'm not the only
Speaker 12: one in New Zealand that pays the line charges and
Speaker 12: now they want more.
Speaker 2: Have line charges gone up Glenn.
Speaker 12: Between ten and thirty dollars per power bill, which is
Speaker 12: monthly for every person in New Zealand, regardless of using
Speaker 12: Contact or Pulse or all those other all those other
Speaker 12: pair companies, everybody's line changes have gone up.
Speaker 2: I think you probably okay, we'll put that into the mix.

Speaker 2: are unusual.

Speaker 12: that's all I wanted to say if you want to
Speaker 12: put it out they are sure they're not the only
Speaker 12: person that thinks that way. Where's all the rest of
Speaker 12: the line charges gone that we've been paying for forever?

Speaker 2: French polishers, but it's probably on a demand for it.
Speaker 2: You just want the old people come out of retirement
Speaker 2: for it. That would be my pick on that one.
Speaker 2: I'll be back on the other side of the news
Speaker 2: if you want to talk here till twelve o'clock tonight.
Speaker 2: So for the guy that was called before the news,
Speaker 2: the guy that was on about his music box, right,
Speaker 2: his name was Mark. Someone said that he should try
Speaker 2: a luthier. Have I pronounced that right? A luthier because
Speaker 2: old guitars are off in French polish, so luthier could
Speaker 2: be quite a good French polisher. Of course, you can
Speaker 2: always learn French polishing your else. I just don't know
Speaker 2: where you get the shellac that's the wings of the
Speaker 2: lack beetle?
Speaker 16: Is that right?
Speaker 2: We are looking for people their special abilities. What I
Speaker 2: find interesting about this in twofold one is what people's
Speaker 2: special abilities are, and two what people consider a special ability.
Speaker 2: You might be able to remember numbers. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: doubling down on this because I've said that's the topic,
Speaker 2: so I'm committed.
Speaker 10: To it now.
Speaker 2: I can't change now. So we are stuck with this.
Speaker 2: It's a trouble when you get on the limb with
Speaker 2: a topic like this. People aren't impressed with Glenn with
Speaker 2: two ends. By the way, just so if that's you Glenn.
Speaker 2: A lot of sexist things about the special talent, people

Speaker 2: to disparage that because it was beautiful, But yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's a special skill. Someone says they
Speaker 2: can say all the words backwards, but they've texted me
Speaker 2: that rather than ringing in Marcus, your special skill is
Speaker 2: not cutting the singer off. Thank you, yes, thank you.
Speaker 2: I tried, didn't. I tried to get in there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but but I did. I couldn't. I couldn't do it.

Speaker 2: be one of those magic moments. It's supposed to got
Speaker 2: the the most extraordinary voice and phone line against normally
Speaker 2: white goes. So singing on the radio is they put
Speaker 2: their mouth so close to their hand piece. It all
Speaker 2: kind of distorts. It's never good. But I'm getting a
Speaker 2: lot of pundits or plawed its from the textas to me,
Speaker 2: how kind I was let to stay on nine thirteen
Speaker 2: here till twelve? Your special skill? George says, I can
Speaker 2: say most words or name's backwards with ease. That's from
Speaker 2: George Armstrong or his head say igro egg ganotsmra I
Speaker 2: can't say names Beckwood with ease. But that's more an
Speaker 2: on air thing, Marcus. My special ability is the mirror writing,
Speaker 2: so called because you hold up in the mirror you
Speaker 2: can read it in the mirror. It's reversed writing, starting
Speaker 2: on the right side of the paper. Yes, well, my
Speaker 2: partner thinks she's got a special skill of mirror writing,
Speaker 2: but I don't necessarily know that it's a special skill.
Speaker 2: We have many debate about that. I won't say what
Speaker 2: my special skill is that I think is better, but
Speaker 2: but I think someone's Yeah, anyway, that's the cruss. She
Speaker 2: wants to die on with their special skill. Oh gone
Speaker 2: is back. We call that non call GONI Marcus, my
Speaker 2: special talent is not losing my mind whilst listening to
Speaker 2: tonight's show. Yeah, well, I mean I tried to get
Speaker 2: special skills. I don't think we've got anyone yet. It's
Speaker 2: really special with their skills, are they? I don't expect
Speaker 2: anyone to ring up to say they're going to eat
Speaker 2: a plane. But just or even if you know, someone
Speaker 2: with a special skill must be I mean the remarkable
Speaker 2: land of five million. There must be people that can
Speaker 2: do extraordinary things. Special skills or special things I've done
Speaker 2: when someone's texted. I read the Old Testament cover to cover.
Speaker 2: What a tough book to read. I didn't read the
Speaker 2: New Testament, as most sequels are not as good as
Speaker 2: the first one. Yeah, I think they'd be very tough
Speaker 2: to read the Old Testament. It's all but goot, isn't it?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I know that's a special skill. But I'm
Speaker 2: happy for the discussion H nine fourteen eighty and your
Speaker 2: special skills? What can you do? It's of interest in
Speaker 2: tonight as well as everything else that's going on. By
Speaker 2: the way, I am expecting breaking news tonight. It's just
Speaker 2: been for quiet at nighttime. As far as the world goes.
Speaker 2: Maybe there'll be a ceasefire. That'd be good. Yes, now, George,
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 7: Get a Marcus.
Speaker 2: Now you can read words backwards?
Speaker 7: Well yeah, I've never tested it on the on the
Speaker 7: air before.
Speaker 2: But do you think your powers might How can we

Speaker 7: Can I just give me a word? Look at an
Speaker 7: object in the studio, Tell me the word. I'll try
Speaker 7: to say it backwards as fast as I can.
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, wow, most of them are quite difficult. The
Speaker 2: things I'm looking at.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't just take it easier and we can
Speaker 7: ramp up the disaccording.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, because i's got to go straight with
Speaker 2: the microphone. We work up towards that one. Not ukham
Speaker 2: oh wow, microphone wow, television.
Speaker 7: Oh, television, noises oh noise is valet wow?
Speaker 2: Computer computer.
Speaker 7: Oh oh that's a tough one.
Speaker 2: Mark okay, light shade, light shade, tip.
Speaker 7: Build that sort of thing. I think it's difficult when
Speaker 7: you got some of those consonants.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I thought light was difficult. We've got a
Speaker 2: lot of constants and not may veils.
Speaker 7: There was light yeah, g h t th h g.
Speaker 2: But yeah, imagine, I imagine with practice you get pretty
Speaker 2: good at this.
Speaker 7: I actually discovered it and I was sort of, you know,
Speaker 7: under the influence of something at one point at the bar,
Speaker 7: and ever since then I've just ran with it.
Speaker 2: So were you asked that as the bar in different
Speaker 2: drinks backwards?
Speaker 7: Well, we sha something like that, something like that.
Speaker 2: What did you start not a stone lagger, a regal nets.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Luily, well yeah, yeah, like the German on tap.
Speaker 2: Or Jacob mister okay, and has it got better since?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you also.
Speaker 7: Yeah, with practice, you improve, but a lot of it
Speaker 7: was just pure talent, I have to say.
Speaker 2: So, how often do you wheel it out, Jeeves?
Speaker 7: Just you know, at the pub every now and then
Speaker 7: when you've got a when there's a new coming to
Speaker 7: the group, you know, sometimes just to staff of them
Speaker 7: a little bit. Or if you have anyone who has
Speaker 7: just LEI around, they're particularly impressed.
Speaker 2: So can you read books? You can read all the
Speaker 2: words backwards and books.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I haven't got much of the attention span these days.
Speaker 2: No, I presume text is easy when you're looking at it.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, it's yeah, it looks fun really.
Speaker 2: Okay, I appreciate your moxy, George, thank you very much
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 10: There we go.
Speaker 2: George can read words backwards and was brave enough to
Speaker 2: ring up Marcus. How would the guy consume the aircraft
Speaker 2: get on going through the middle tech at the even
Speaker 2: I don't believe you could eat a plane. But he
Speaker 2: ate his record, he ate his award he was given.
Speaker 2: That was I mean, what a boss of That is.
Speaker 2: Good evening, Gabriel, Good evening, Marcus.
Speaker 19: I'm not sure if it's a real talent, but I
Speaker 19: can identify any car around the world from nineteen thirty
Speaker 19: nine through to nineteen eighty five, with a specialty in
Speaker 19: English cars and American cars. Well, so that's a span
Speaker 19: of about I don't know, fifty years or whatever.
Speaker 2: And I know there will be some real train spotters
Speaker 2: out there, are there? So you know, I presume there's
Speaker 2: some planes. So there's some cars, and there's select variations.
Speaker 2: Can you tell me about that? Can you spot those
Speaker 2: as well? Like, tell me what an example of that
Speaker 2: would be.
Speaker 19: Well, like, as I mentioned, my specialty is American and English.
Speaker 19: You'd have, well, you've got Cadillac, bure, Goldenmobile, pontierc and Ship,
Speaker 19: Mopa or Chrysler, you have the or used to have
Speaker 19: the Imperial New Yorker windsor there's a whole range of cars.
Speaker 2: If it comes to cars like Volkswagens, you'd know what
Speaker 2: year they were, when they changed the rear windows and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, you know there, Yeah, yeah, okay, you
Speaker 2: know what the variations and a model over the years.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I do. But yeah, I do know most
Speaker 19: of the variations of the European cars and Italian cars,
Speaker 19: and of course I was the cars. But I've never
Speaker 19: met anybody who knows as many cars.
Speaker 2: It's how you got that skill.
Speaker 19: I don't know. When I was a kid, father used
Speaker 19: to say I had a photographic memory, which I didn't
Speaker 19: have a clue what that was at the time, But yeah,
Speaker 19: I just remember. I just remember cars, and I always
Speaker 19: have done.
Speaker 2: So have you traveled over? Have you travel over? Have
Speaker 2: you travel overseas to see them all? Because I presume
Speaker 2: with some of them there wouldn't be many in New Zealand.
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's right, And no, I haven't traveled overseas, so
Speaker 19: you know all the ones.
Speaker 2: In New Zealand. If you see anything, really you know
Speaker 2: straight away what it is.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, generally, for sure.
Speaker 2: Even I suppose watching TV programs you'd see stuff too,
Speaker 2: wouldn't you tell you?
Speaker 19: It's a bit weird Marcus before YouTube come along, say
Speaker 19: before that, I would sit through hours of some movie
Speaker 19: that was probably not a B grade but probably a
Speaker 19: D grade. It would be an hour of it just
Speaker 19: to catch the cars that were in it.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 19: Well, now there are actual channels on YouTube where they'll
Speaker 19: take like cars from Andy Griffin Show or cars from
Speaker 19: Mod Squad, so they just cut out everything else but
Speaker 19: the cars.
Speaker 2: What channels would they be.
Speaker 19: It's on a YouTube one and it's called Cars from.
Speaker 3: And it's.
Speaker 19: TV series that have been on in the past, Bewitched,
Speaker 19: Mod Squad and Griffiths Show.
Speaker 2: There's a lot are your first dating now, Gabriel? Do
Speaker 2: you see cars? Which part of your Zealand are you in?
Speaker 19: What's that?
Speaker 2: Where are you in New Zealand? What what island?
Speaker 19: I'm I'm in Auckland, Okay.
Speaker 2: Do you often see cars on the road that do you?
Speaker 2: Do you often see old cars on the road that
Speaker 2: you can't recognize.
Speaker 19: I haven't come across one yet, wow, mm hmm. Yeah,
Speaker 19: I've always been able to do that. Yeah, but probably
Speaker 19: you know I love cars from when I was young
Speaker 19: so and at the moment on driving a Toyota so
Speaker 19: I've got nothing American at the moment.
Speaker 3: I used to, but not even longer.
Speaker 2: It probably goes be that, does it?
Speaker 7: What's it?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 19: It goes very well. And I don't know about that.
Speaker 19: It's just about maintenance, keeping the maintenance up on a
Speaker 19: big American car if you can afford the guess did.
Speaker 2: You learn them or when you were a younger, did
Speaker 2: you learn them on the road or did you learn
Speaker 2: them from books?
Speaker 19: I learned them through TV, on books and on the road.
Speaker 3: We'd be driving along the road and.
Speaker 19: My family would ask me what their car was, and
Speaker 19: I'd tell them what it was, and then, you know,
Speaker 19: sometimes other members of the family may not believe it,
Speaker 19: so I'd grab a book and show them or tell
Speaker 19: them about their particular car. Yep, it was the car.
Speaker 2: Fascinating Gabel, Thank you so much for coming through that.
Speaker 2: I do appreciate that. Queving Barry Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 16: Good a Marcus.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 16: I can divine water.
Speaker 2: Oh wow are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 16: I've always been able to since I was a little kid.
Speaker 16: My grandfather could do it. My father couldn't do it.
Speaker 16: They reckon it skips a generation for some weird reason.
Speaker 16: I can also pick up like living KBA power cables
Speaker 16: in the ground. I just use a copper rod.
Speaker 2: Is the rod bent?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 16: It is, and I can feel it move. It's kind
Speaker 16: of weird. I can walk along and I can feel
Speaker 16: it move, and the direction it moves to is the
Speaker 16: direction the water is flowing.
Speaker 2: Okay, And how are people using you Berry for your skills?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 16: But I work well? Yes and no, because I did
Speaker 16: actually spend a few decads. It's working in the industry,
Speaker 16: and it's just one of those things I reckon. As
Speaker 16: we know, there's a waterline here somewhere, there's no records,
Speaker 16: and I've had to go and actually found them, and yeah,
Speaker 16: it works. It's it's real.
Speaker 12: It's kind of weird.
Speaker 16: It's fun though, it's actually fun.
Speaker 2: And when you say the industry, you worked in water services, right.
Speaker 16: Water industry?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 16: Have you got theories?
Speaker 2: Have you got theories on how it works?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 16: I have no idea at all. My grandfather used to
Speaker 16: use a forked willow branch school, which was kind of weird,
Speaker 16: and I never believed it. I didn't believe it at all.
Speaker 16: He used to decide where to dig wells because he
Speaker 16: was sort of a contractor's way back. And I had
Speaker 16: to go at it playing with you, working with hum
Speaker 16: and stuff, and I discovered that the best thing for
Speaker 16: me was a bit of copper roll. Anyway, that's just
Speaker 16: one bit of fraud.
Speaker 2: It's just one, not one in each hand.
Speaker 16: No, just one, just one on my left hand. And
Speaker 16: I'm left handed, and I can't do it with some
Speaker 16: right hand, but I can do it with some left
Speaker 16: hand's that's the way it works.
Speaker 2: Brilliant. Really nice to hear from your Barry. Thank you.
Speaker 10: Wee there we go.
Speaker 2: Wow Wow what a half hour a boys, What a
Speaker 2: gifted audience. What special talents? Marcus? My friends, My best
Speaker 2: friend's skill is not being able to recognize cars. We
Speaker 2: knew someone who had to read Jaguar and one day
Speaker 2: we saw a red Muskang and he said, oh, that's
Speaker 2: Mandy's car.
Speaker 20: I said, Okay, that car's got a horse it the
Speaker 20: jag jag on it. She said, has had the difference.
Speaker 20: Oh yeah, that's good, Marcus. Is any one game enough
Speaker 20: to ring up and confess?
Speaker 2: There have been t mood the lattest term to describe
Speaker 2: a TAMU customer disappointed with an item they ordered, paid
Speaker 2: for a received from Tim but it wasn't what they
Speaker 2: were expecting in it too embarrassed to admit it. Anyone
Speaker 2: got any button? Does TEAMU do Butter? That would be
Speaker 2: the future of team who did Butter? That would be
Speaker 2: a good night and talk back. I doubt they do.
Speaker 2: Doubt they do. Doubt they don't keep those texts coming
Speaker 2: from enjoying a lot of those. Maybe someone's special skill
Speaker 2: is running straight. Oh yeah, Philip Marcus welcome.
Speaker 17: There you go, Marcus good Philip, I was just calling
Speaker 17: about the special talents thing that you're talking about.
Speaker 2: You've rung the right show.
Speaker 7: I definitely did.
Speaker 13: Now.
Speaker 17: I know that being ambidexterous can be very kind of
Speaker 17: typical in today's day. But I'm ambidexterous with every power
Speaker 17: tool as well as reading and writing and you know,
Speaker 17: kicking a ball and other things like that.
Speaker 2: Wow, that'd be quite a skill, would it's.
Speaker 17: Believe it or not, it's extremely handy on a construction site.
Speaker 2: Imagine, So you go, okay, so and there's no there's
Speaker 2: no loss of skill with either one.
Speaker 17: Absolutely not. There's maybe I could I there could be
Speaker 17: an argument there'd be like a slight power loss, like
Speaker 17: if I was drilling through concrete, Like maybe using my
Speaker 17: right as my dominant would take maybe ten seconds longer
Speaker 17: because I'm not being able to push as much pressure
Speaker 17: on Which.
Speaker 2: Of the power tails would be that which of the
Speaker 2: power tells would be the most surprising that you can
Speaker 2: do both ways.
Speaker 17: Definitely a drill, ye, any kind of power drill. Like
Speaker 17: I'm a roofer by trade, so being able to screw
Speaker 17: off both left handed and right handed is quite gobsmacking,
Speaker 17: but also being able to cut sheet metal both left
Speaker 17: handed and right handed is actually very phenomenal.
Speaker 2: He's just cut out, but that's a shame. I just
Speaker 2: don't think we cut sheet metal with those hands. Shears
Speaker 2: would have be probably. I don't know. I've kind of
Speaker 2: bit of met I'm not sure what he's talking about
Speaker 2: with that, but thank you, Dave, Marcus welcome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been tam mood. I'm a keen temud user.
Speaker 8: But in the early days when I was getting tim
Speaker 8: I didn't look at the fabric because I generally try
Speaker 8: and order coffin. And I bought a polyester sex Excel
Speaker 8: T shirt and I was like wearing a rubbish bag.
Speaker 2: That wouldn't be That wouldn't be good.
Speaker 8: It wasn't. There was a most unpleasant yes, and Marcus,
Speaker 8: I can play my teeth, hamm, how is that really good?
Speaker 21: What are you doing?
Speaker 11: Then?
Speaker 7: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you just are your hands on the just without hands?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 21: I flicked with teeth with my thumb, and.
Speaker 8: And you can get a chun with the mouth.
Speaker 2: Are they are they real teeth? Are they your own teeth?
Speaker 2: Or false teeth?
Speaker 5: Where aren't my They're they're my real teeth and my
Speaker 5: row and my head.
Speaker 2: Well you putting the start? Where you getting that sound from.
Speaker 16: From my mouth? I?
Speaker 8: I what's it called?
Speaker 4: Volume?
Speaker 3: Eyes?
Speaker 15: Or change the note with my mouth?
Speaker 3: And I've frecked my teeth with my thumb?
Speaker 6: Do it again?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 11: How's that?
Speaker 2: It's the show for you to know, doesn't it been?
Speaker 7: T Yeah? Whatever?
Speaker 2: Have you got any other songs?
Speaker 11: You do?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 15: But I can still whistle.
Speaker 2: That's right. That's straight to the that's straight to the
Speaker 2: highlights podcast. Well, yeah, slow stuff, but cheapest creepers. Wow,
Speaker 2: some of those. What a talented audience. I the person
Speaker 2: special skinners not to spot, not to identify cars couldn't
Speaker 2: work out a ways? Getting such a beautiful timber? What
Speaker 2: a timber?
Speaker 10: Is it?
Speaker 2: If I used that word rightly? Is it tim Bray?
Speaker 2: Was it good to tune too, wasn't it? It's been
Speaker 2: quite a musical show tonight with his tune and the
Speaker 2: singing Grandmother's chewed? And then the luthier what did he
Speaker 2: well he died the Liberty March or whatever. The Monty
Speaker 2: Python one was goodness, and we had no poems. It's
Speaker 2: a good thing. All major mobile networks gone down across
Speaker 2: Spain one of there's terrorism there. Pepper Pig is a
Speaker 2: baby's sister. Mummy Pig announced the safe arrival with a
Speaker 2: third piglet after giving birth in the same hospital as
Speaker 2: Cape Middleton. There you go, the Lindo wing. I think
Speaker 2: that was quite successful. It's not a bad watch, Pepper Pig.
Speaker 2: I know all your people are mad about the blowie,
Speaker 2: but you don't forget Pepper Peg. We'll look at your
Speaker 2: special skills, and boy are they special. Evening gave Marcus welcome,
Speaker 2: How you doing good? Gave how you doing all right?
Speaker 7: Not too bad?
Speaker 10: Do you remember the throw at the purple plush guitar?
Speaker 2: Tell me more?
Speaker 6: You know my daughter rang you and I made her
Speaker 6: ring you.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, and the grab and the grabbing machine. You're
Speaker 2: staying at the moat the hotel the mot was it
Speaker 2: called the.
Speaker 7: Well low budget Hotel?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And you and and you're in one or of plus
Speaker 2: guitar at the grabber machine.
Speaker 10: Yes exactly. And I remember why we were actually why
Speaker 10: we went up there.
Speaker 12: For that holey.
Speaker 10: She didn't but I did later on. It was because
Speaker 10: they bought the Formula one display to Papa. Oh yeah,
Speaker 10: that's why I went there to see that. And then
Speaker 10: on that trip it was when the internet was barely available,
Speaker 10: I bought my son the Mark two version of PlayStation okay, yeah,
Speaker 10: and then the key to it for Hebby was wondering
Speaker 10: people plush guitar. I think the phone one.
Speaker 15: That's a true story.
Speaker 2: You sound like, where are you from, Gabby? From the
Speaker 2: coastal somewhere?
Speaker 10: No, I'm from Leiston.
Speaker 2: Oh I wonder if it was Leon. You've got the
Speaker 2: floods there a well, they bought past us. Okay, where
Speaker 2: was where was the.
Speaker 3: Ring?
Speaker 13: You?
Speaker 2: You know, she's good. I don't know why it was
Speaker 2: so funny, but obviously because she had no interest in
Speaker 2: Formula one, right, it was.
Speaker 10: So true that and then she asked you asked her
Speaker 10: how long was it? And they because it was a
Speaker 10: foot long, And she bought it out the other day
Speaker 10: and sure as eggs it was a long.
Speaker 2: So what year were talking about this? When was there
Speaker 2: a Formula one exhibition? To Papa?
Speaker 10: It was when it was like they bought the Formula
Speaker 10: one cars over legitimately and the sinners are great.
Speaker 7: Thing.
Speaker 10: That's the only reason I wanted to go.
Speaker 6: And yeah, the line man was there as well.
Speaker 10: When I first met the line man H.
Speaker 2: Craig.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's begging for money.
Speaker 2: And where was he begging for money outside to Papa?
Speaker 2: I mean the guy that had the Craig bush. The
Speaker 2: guy had the big kits and funky that guy.
Speaker 10: You look it up. There's a formula one they had
Speaker 10: actual legitimate woman one car was when when the first
Speaker 10: open and feelish?
Speaker 6: I'm right, but you might burn her crew?
Speaker 2: How well Debby?
Speaker 10: Now she's a mainial girl.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, so nineteen it would be twenty fifteen
Speaker 2: or something, wouldn't it was fifteen when she's up there?
Speaker 10: Aby was born twenty four years ago?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I think it's What did you say, Dan,
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, GeV? Yeah, July to November two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine. You might have pulled her out of school.
Speaker 3: Did you?
Speaker 10: Probably on the Purple.
Speaker 2: Brilliant GeV in good film GeV nineteen to ten year.
Speaker 2: We do remember the plays guitar Dan Brilliant, the grabbing machine.
Speaker 2: We're talking about those grabbing games. No one didn't make
Speaker 2: played those online?
Speaker 8: Have they?
Speaker 2: Like I said, you good real games online. I'm also
Speaker 2: discussing the disappointment getting t mood when you get something
Speaker 2: from Timu, that's completely wrong, but you're too embarrassed to
Speaker 2: tell anyone. I've never bought anything on Timu. I brought
Speaker 2: some things. I brought some things once from Ali Barba,
Speaker 2: and I'm not yet ready to tell you what those
Speaker 2: things are. But what is the most extraordinary thing about
Speaker 2: what I brought from Ali Barba? If I had ten
Speaker 2: years of talk back, you would never guess what they were.
Speaker 2: And as I've told you what they were in a
Speaker 2: week moment, I don't think I have. It'd be too
Speaker 2: complicated and confusing for me to explain it. It's a
Speaker 2: long and involved story. I don't come across the barely
Speaker 2: in the story. I just come across slightly self absorbed.
Speaker 2: Go figure. So anyhow, Marcus, I've just been given a
Speaker 2: collector's pack of Dealty airline cards that pilots gave up
Speaker 2: to passages who ask for them. They are of every aircraft,
Speaker 2: and the one hundred year celebration cards are meant to
Speaker 2: be valuable big craze in the States. Should I put
Speaker 2: the pack on trade me, Mike, Yes, you should. I
Speaker 2: don't know what you put them under collectibles. I think, Marcus,
Speaker 2: I brought a pair of generals on Timo. I've got
Speaker 2: two left footed ones chairs kneel Marcus. With the cheaper gas,
Speaker 2: is that going to be also a cheaper quality petrol
Speaker 2: that the long run costs more overall? I don't know that.
Speaker 2: What I have noticed. So if I'm getting two stroke
Speaker 2: for my tools and I need a liter, I always
Speaker 2: go to the gas station because you can just get
Speaker 2: one meter. It saves you're measuring it. I find that
Speaker 2: quite good. Marcus. My special trick is I can twist
Speaker 2: both my thumbs around almost three sixty and I have
Speaker 2: no thumb joints, both held together by tendons removed from
Speaker 2: my forearms to make joints. Goodness, I don't think i'd
Speaker 2: like to see.
Speaker 13: That.
Speaker 2: Freaks me out of it, Davo. Ooh, so what we
Speaker 2: are talking about today? I'm talking Abou. I've been reading
Speaker 2: about the man that ate a Cessna plane. Yeah, true story.
Speaker 2: He died of natural cause at fifty seven. He just
Speaker 2: didn't just need a plane. He ate all sorts of things.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he got any enjoyment for it.
Speaker 2: It did it for the attention, but he got a
Speaker 2: metal kind of plark from the Guinness Book of Records
Speaker 2: and he ate that which has made my day to day. Marcus.
Speaker 2: I bought a perspect's heart shaped ornament with positive sayings
Speaker 2: on for my children. It arrived, it was about five
Speaker 2: centimeters high instead of fifteen centimeters like I imagine, and
Speaker 2: can hardly read the words fail what people are saying.
Speaker 2: Of course that tim does have very good return promises,
Speaker 2: but it's more about the embarrassment day. That's what we
Speaker 2: are talking about. Getting timood is what it's called. Gee
Speaker 2: how good's Costco's publicity with their butter. I presume Costco
Speaker 2: has that butter all around the world, because the thing
Speaker 2: is once you get in the shelves and New Zealand
Speaker 2: and the shelves everywhere. So I don't know how much
Speaker 2: Kitaka the Butterplace and kay Taker's selling them, but anyway,
Speaker 2: good on them obviously works for them. Good evening, Jordan,
Speaker 2: This is Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 11: Hey Marcus.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I was just thinking about you seeing about special
Speaker 22: skills and there's split back in Canada where I'm from,
Speaker 22: in British Columbia, and you go to this old kind
Speaker 22: of like ghost town place called Barkerville, and always intrigued
Speaker 22: me as a kid going to this place on countless
Speaker 22: school trips that in the in the section of this
Speaker 22: old gold mining town that you can go intour They
Speaker 22: have a section of the China town, an ancient one
Speaker 22: that were part of the gold rush. You go in
Speaker 22: there and there's an old fellow there that would write
Speaker 22: your name on a grain. Yes, And like how unique
Speaker 22: like to be able to get down there with a
Speaker 22: magnifying glass and to put each little character on a
Speaker 22: grain of rise and take it in a vial and
Speaker 22: sell it to you for I don't know, probably twenty bucks.
Speaker 14: But uh.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I just thought, man, that's and the and the vial.
Speaker 2: The viol would magnify it. So that was readable, wasn't it.
Speaker 22: Yeah, that's right, yeah, but in a special oil so
Speaker 22: you could see the lettering.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So did you learn to did you guys say you
Speaker 2: loarned to do it? Jordan, No, it did not learn.
Speaker 11: To do that, but uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 22: And you only hang on to that file as long
Speaker 22: as you're you can as a child, until you.
Speaker 11: Step on it or lose it.
Speaker 2: But I'd like to do that. I'd like my name
Speaker 2: on a grain of rice. I'm just trying to think
Speaker 2: how it would be. It's height, dimension, not its length,
Speaker 2: but it would be like a nighth of it'd be
Speaker 2: about three millimeters, would it?
Speaker 22: Yeah, like yeah, the width of a grain of rice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I wonder what it's done with a really
Speaker 2: fine p and a.
Speaker 22: I reckon there'd be some sort of it would have
Speaker 22: to be. But I mean imagine the ink though you
Speaker 22: don't you don't want any smudgets.
Speaker 2: No, I'd like to do that. And you've lost it,
Speaker 2: have you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 22: I think my well, once I had kids, think my
Speaker 22: son might ate it or something.
Speaker 2: But there's also those if you see those people that
Speaker 2: carve pencil lids.
Speaker 22: I yet seen some things on the old Instagram there
Speaker 22: where they shave the graphite on the end of a
Speaker 22: on a pencil number two HB pencil.
Speaker 2: It does say there are things. I think it says,
Speaker 2: how you can How do they put your name on
Speaker 2: a grain of rice?
Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 2: How many characters? There's up to seven characters per per name.
Speaker 2: Don't recall ever, was your first, first and second name?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 22: First name, Yeah, put your whole first name on there.
Speaker 22: Maybe they flip it over, I don't know, or maybe
Speaker 22: they was double the cost.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. So that's whereabouts in Canada was the
Speaker 2: gold rush? There is it on the west coast.
Speaker 22: Yeah, British Columbia, kind of north central. This place called Wells.
Speaker 22: It's the end of the road near Williams Lake, near
Speaker 22: near Quinnell. Worry and yeah, you dry forever and ever
Speaker 22: and you hit the end of the road and there's
Speaker 22: this old gold rush town that was booming, you know,
Speaker 22: years ago.
Speaker 2: Must hear from Jordan. Thank you for that. Found that
Speaker 2: interesting sixteen past ten. How to write on a grain
Speaker 2: of rice common long grain white rice. The rice is
Speaker 2: flat cylinder shape. Because it's flat, provides two wide surfaces
Speaker 2: for writing. Sharp utility knife. This is used to scrape
Speaker 2: the rice slated to remove ridges to provide a smooth
Speaker 2: surface for writing. Clay. Some people use a utility grip
Speaker 2: of clay, and I was using modeling clay. The clouds
Speaker 2: used to hold the rice in place while performing the writing.
Speaker 2: Technical pen This is a drawing pen with an ultra
Speaker 2: fine tip. Most pens used to either size eighteen or
Speaker 2: point one three. Wow Online waterproof ink. A rare but
Speaker 2: verifiable art form of writing on rice is from brush. Also,
Speaker 2: once the rice, writing is completely duty preserved in a
Speaker 2: small vial of liquid oil, mini craftsmen mount these violent
Speaker 2: and a jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets and keychains. It's
Speaker 2: a great thing to do. I'm funny for interesting you
Speaker 2: people with your special skills. There might be something in
Speaker 2: an artistic pursture. You might do some sort of miniature
Speaker 2: writing or something. I don't know what. This would be
Speaker 2: something you spent your whole life training for. What did
Speaker 2: the people used to do? People to write the Lord's
Speaker 2: prayer on the size of a shaped size of a coin,
Speaker 2: didn't they? That was the thing I think people would
Speaker 2: do kind of tiny calligraphy. Not my being not really
Speaker 2: got that sort of hen writing. Okay, yeah, I can write? Actually, no,
Speaker 2: is it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: I don't think there's my thing. Surely it's Marcus welcome, Good.
Speaker 18: Evening, Good evening. I think I've got a bit of
Speaker 18: a skill. I can play the spoons I've got some
Speaker 18: and the spoons my son got me from Canada. And
Speaker 18: I can also play just the ordinary kitchen spoons.
Speaker 2: So the wooden spoons aren't joined, Yes they are, okay,
Speaker 2: but your kitchen ones aren't. That's right, yep, Wow, have
Speaker 2: you got kitchen ones here? Have you got the wooden
Speaker 2: ones there, I've.
Speaker 18: Got them both sitting here on the edge of Well, let's.
Speaker 2: Start with how will you hold the phone?
Speaker 18: A hog on my ear?
Speaker 2: Let's let's try the wooden ones first, and what song
Speaker 2: will you do?
Speaker 18: I'll just just show you how they work, free format.
Speaker 2: Love.
Speaker 10: The sound.
Speaker 2: Came across fantastic, came across fantastic.
Speaker 18: Now the other ones, these are the kitchen ones.
Speaker 2: Yes, now when you got running them over your fingers
Speaker 2: as well?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, wow? Now was it hard to learn?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 18: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 18: And yeah, sometimes if the music's playing at home, I'll
Speaker 18: pick up the spoons and just have a jam session. Sometimes,
Speaker 18: if I'm out and we're having music somewhere, I take
Speaker 18: more wooden spoons.
Speaker 2: Well that was the next question I asked, How so
Speaker 2: you'll take the wooden spoons? Would you somewhere? Where would
Speaker 2: one of those places.
Speaker 14: Sort of be?
Speaker 18: I go down to Club Vista. Here at Paraparamu, we
Speaker 18: have a karaoke night on a Friday night.
Speaker 2: Brilliant doesn't sound better than that club Vesta?
Speaker 22: Wow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're not doing karaoke, you're just playing spooning
Speaker 2: along as the other people perform.
Speaker 18: I do sing karaoke. But yeah, what you go to at.
Speaker 2: Club Vista, Pata Padaho?
Speaker 6: What's my go to?
Speaker 2: What's your favorite karaoke song?
Speaker 18: I love Geene Watson cat country music.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know that. What's up one of their songs?
Speaker 18: My Fareweel party?
Speaker 2: Okay, I look that one up, Shirley, Thank you every
Speaker 2: very much for that. Twenty four past ten, Club Vista
Speaker 2: looks good. Good view water side for those that don't
Speaker 2: know it, looks tremendous, marine parade. It's my street right
Speaker 2: on the waterfront. Look at it now on Google street View. Marvelous.
Speaker 15: Wow.
Speaker 2: Looks at a different close up. Looks like an old
Speaker 2: planket room that they put a top on that Club Vista. Goodness,
Speaker 2: me in the Lucky Lounge, riding over the water, all
Speaker 2: over a park in the water, beautiful, dv it smart, welcome,
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 21: Do you think I really? I was primed to hoping
Speaker 21: that there'd be more talk about the Southerner, but there
Speaker 21: wasn't any, So I'm going to go with tu.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, so the Southern I ran did the last
Speaker 2: couple of days?
Speaker 10: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 21: They went it for four days and again, lots of
Speaker 21: people saying, oh, if it was running, we'd use it.
Speaker 21: And of the four days that it ran, only three
Speaker 21: of them were fully booked out. And it was you
Speaker 21: that for me that the only reason they're running it
Speaker 21: is because they need to use the characters because the
Speaker 21: West coastline was closed.
Speaker 22: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it was a bit of bit.
Speaker 2: It was a bit of a It was a bit
Speaker 2: of a tricky pr stunt. I thought to think, oh,
Speaker 2: we're going to explore, but they've got no intention. There'd
Speaker 2: been no demand for either because it was wildly like
Speaker 2: four hundred backs. You'd get a plane, wouldn't you.
Speaker 6: Well, I only.
Speaker 21: Yesterday that to go Awkward to Wellington on the Northern
Speaker 21: Explorer two hundred and fifty dollars a person.
Speaker 2: So why would you do that when you could actually
Speaker 2: fly for an hour and it takes all day. I
Speaker 2: mean it's only for tourists and train nuts.
Speaker 21: Well even train that's can't afford the most they were.
Speaker 3: On the bones.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So and then then often with the heats, you know,
Speaker 2: you end up on a bus anyway, don't you.
Speaker 21: That's right, And so you've just paid two hundred and
Speaker 21: fifty dollars to pose for the door exploring to do
Speaker 21: a trip that you could do on a bus for
Speaker 21: around about sixty bucks with the bus company. I can't
Speaker 21: think who doesn't these they were going to see in
Speaker 21: the city.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, yes, you go.
Speaker 7: They did me.
Speaker 21: They did me well. I brought a couple of items
Speaker 21: to them that that failed to materialize, and I wrote
Speaker 21: them saying, look, I think these were intercepted by customs
Speaker 21: because I can't imagine anything else. Dang well, and they
Speaker 21: said that's cool and they give them my money back.
Speaker 2: How long did that take.
Speaker 3: Next day?
Speaker 6: Basically?
Speaker 2: So you emailed them? You didn't ring them, No, I.
Speaker 21: Just emailed them.
Speaker 7: And but.
Speaker 21: You're getting the idea that I can get all the
Speaker 21: left of center. What I what i'd ordered was two
Speaker 21: sets of suture training units for learning how to do stitches.
Speaker 21: And it comes with a couple of curve suitures, some
Speaker 21: poor silk I should imagine, and a skin analogue.
Speaker 2: And what's what's the skin analog is?
Speaker 13: That?
Speaker 2: Does xenalogue mean it just is like skin? Or is
Speaker 2: it a computer thing?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 21: It feels exactly like I hope, well that's what I
Speaker 21: was hoping. It's probably a bit of a rubber with
Speaker 21: real rubber on top because sticking a needle through skin
Speaker 21: istraordarily hard to do. Skind of stuff, tough stuff, And
Speaker 21: I thought, I'll learn how to suitres because that's the
Speaker 21: sort of thing I'd like to know. So I ordered
Speaker 21: a couple of these. You can get these kits if
Speaker 21: you like, teach yourself how to stick yourself together or
Speaker 21: somebody else.
Speaker 2: I gives and the suits have got the suits have
Speaker 2: got knots in them?
Speaker 20: Have they?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 21: The real medicals so, but but when.
Speaker 2: You tie suchers, you're not it's not just like sewing.
Speaker 2: You actually tie knots over each Have you got that?
Speaker 6: Have you got?
Speaker 2: Have you got the kit yet?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 21: It never came, and I'm not certain, but I think
Speaker 21: it was probably intercepted. It's not something customers would I
Speaker 21: think they would worry about it if they opened up
Speaker 21: and go.
Speaker 10: He's not having this stuff because.
Speaker 21: It's just but too weird.
Speaker 2: I think you're not going to harm, and that you're
Speaker 2: not going to harm and then sell yourself up or anything.
Speaker 2: Are you're not doing anything like that?
Speaker 21: I'd so myself up if I cut myself. Okay, I
Speaker 21: wouldn't even blink at that, but I wouldn't catch anybody
Speaker 21: else with them?
Speaker 6: What would you?
Speaker 10: What would you?
Speaker 2: What would you use for anesthetics?
Speaker 21: I used to have a vial of novercaine that I've
Speaker 21: acquired from somehow that's long since God. But if you
Speaker 21: if you had an accident, you right at the start
Speaker 21: of it, you've got enough adrenaline in your system that
Speaker 21: you're not going to feel a lot of pain. So
Speaker 21: but no, am I like, I've cut out with my
Speaker 21: right arm, and then I can't say it up with
Speaker 21: my left hand because I right handed.
Speaker 2: But I'm sure if you said to them you're planning
Speaker 2: a big sea voyage, because I think that'd be one
Speaker 2: of the skills you need, wouldn't it if you're around
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 21: You're so yeah, Yeah, I suppose you're right.
Speaker 3: I never thought of that one.
Speaker 21: One of my unusual things that I did try and
Speaker 21: buy it by the stage would never arrive, which I've
Speaker 21: always been. I'm mildly sad.
Speaker 2: About how much were the self so chip.
Speaker 21: Currently there was a teat fifteen twenty bucks eat.
Speaker 2: And would you get more than one analog skin or
Speaker 2: was it just one thing? You could try and try it.
Speaker 21: Because you've got one skin and the already had a
Speaker 21: few lesions in it, but you had to think about
Speaker 21: five needles and a roll of silk.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 21: I had a set of four SIPs because to make
Speaker 21: them not you wrap the.
Speaker 2: Because you're more, you're more, You're more and more. See
Speaker 2: on the internet now reels or shows of surgeons practicing
Speaker 2: doing mccrame with four steps and stuff that I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's true. I don't know if they do
Speaker 2: they practice in to see their skills. I don't know
Speaker 2: how much they would do.
Speaker 21: Practice when they're a student. Yeah, and they would have
Speaker 21: exactly these sort of kids. I watched the student try
Speaker 21: and saw me up once after a bit of an operation,
Speaker 21: and they were She was shaking, and I had to
Speaker 21: say to her, is it because I'm watching? She says, yeah,
Speaker 21: the patients don't usually watch this stuff. Yeah, I said,
Speaker 21: the abbit little bit different?
Speaker 2: Did she did? She calm down, she got the job.
Speaker 21: I think she was under supervision. I think the head
Speaker 21: shregg took over it. I think I'll do some of these.
Speaker 2: I haven't thought about it, but it probably is quite
Speaker 2: thick to put your needle through.
Speaker 21: I was amazed that I was talking to the surgeon
Speaker 21: about it and said, oh, Yeah, that bit of effort
Speaker 21: to get the needle it so Yeah, especially the different
Speaker 21: parts of body will have different fitnesses. I want to
Speaker 21: try to where's the bloodbister by foot? And I had
Speaker 21: to use the second needle. Yeah, and again just there's
Speaker 21: no pain of Also, just like that's a great needle
Speaker 21: in your foot.
Speaker 2: I hope you get you get back on the settle
Speaker 2: and get your kits. I think you're getting great enjoyment
Speaker 2: from those.
Speaker 21: Yeah, sort of thing that I like.
Speaker 2: And then that could be your special skill, dB couldn't.
Speaker 21: It's something I could do at a party.
Speaker 3: You reckon?
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually looks together. Nice to talk to me, Thank
Speaker 2: you so much. So there's a really good question via
Speaker 2: tex someone might like to answer it. Just interesting. Can
Speaker 2: you explain why at this time of the night you'll
Speaker 2: find another frequency coming through? Is it to do with
Speaker 2: a demand or climatic conditions? Totally ignorant question. I can
Speaker 2: answer that I've answered before. Mark, I just can't remember, Marcus,
Speaker 2: is there international number to call it? My friend James
Speaker 2: wants to talk to you from Perth. He concerned Kiwi
Speaker 2: living abroad. Cheers bread. What's the overseas? It's just the
Speaker 2: same isn't it, Dan? But what how do people from
Speaker 2: overseas normally ring on they find on the website? Marcus,
Speaker 2: My specialty is my beautiful eyes. They can both go
Speaker 2: north and southwest at the same time. I love my
Speaker 2: cross eyes. Cheers Kristen Marcus. I finely believe that those
Speaker 2: people responsible William Lawson's race cu have been sabotage in
Speaker 2: the car week after week, not giving Lawson a fair go.
Speaker 2: My mother always said blue and green should ever be
Speaker 2: seen without a color in between. That's right, voys disliked
Speaker 2: that about the warrior is jouzy? But why at night
Speaker 2: the radio can be ferred further? Why at night radio
Speaker 2: reception is better? That's the question. If you want to
Speaker 2: answer that, give me a call. It bounces off the ionosphere.
Speaker 2: It tends to be better at night. AM is better
Speaker 2: at night because it tends to be better at night
Speaker 2: due to the change in the ionosphere, which acts are
Speaker 2: efflective layers. During the day, the D layer of the
Speaker 2: ionosphere absorbs the AMS signals, limiting their range. At night,
Speaker 2: this layer disappears, allowing signals to bounce off the remaining
Speaker 2: F layer and travel much further. Phenomenon called skywave propagation.
Speaker 10: There you go.
Speaker 2: It's probably FM, not AM, is it. But you'll get
Speaker 2: an AM station from somewhere else. You probably pick up
Speaker 2: the Dunedin or the Invocago one. That's why I often
Speaker 2: at night you'd be out camping, you'd pick up all
Speaker 2: sorts of radio stations around the world, around the world.
Speaker 2: It'll be bouncing on off the ionosphere as it does.
Speaker 2: Come on, Hit'll twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome. So
Speaker 2: whatever you've got people. I love the text about the
Speaker 2: weird eyes. They've got i emoticons in the text, little
Speaker 2: googly eyes. Now someone's asked me about the t Rex
Speaker 2: sculpture and Lower Hut. I've never seen that.
Speaker 11: Where is that?
Speaker 2: Or the slide? You might want to talk about that?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Oh it's fugly Colin. A giant steel t
Speaker 2: Rex will spend the rest of its life in a
Speaker 2: Lower Hut duck pond. The six ton sculptures built in
Speaker 2: as I May Hut Valley firms mcaulay Metals and Real
Speaker 2: Steel for Hut City Councils Highlight Festival twenty nineteen and
Speaker 2: it was auctionhit and off. Someone paid thirty three grand
Speaker 2: for it, but then if he brought it for his house,
Speaker 2: but then the sculpture was donated to the Hut Valley. Anyway,
Speaker 2: it's quite a comp a good story, but it's not
Speaker 2: in as good as the top word dinosaur, which is
Speaker 2: the pick of them. But if you wonder if you've
Speaker 2: got a special skill or something else you want to
Speaker 2: talk about tonight, Oh Ray May on Facebook has text
Speaker 2: me a picture you can now get up the Wars
Speaker 2: V energy drink original and one with how's thatana gu
Speaker 2: arana whatever? That may be some sort of space juice there.
Speaker 15: Evening.
Speaker 2: Pete Marcus, welcome here, good Pete.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I see you're struggling there, but don't jump on
Speaker 15: and give a bit of helping hands.
Speaker 7: And here we're going t moose.
Speaker 14: I've had a good experience. I put on very much
Speaker 14: from them. But what do you think of my safety
Speaker 14: belt in my car?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Sorry, what did you say?
Speaker 10: They?
Speaker 2: Pete?
Speaker 13: You?
Speaker 14: What uh on your on your safety belt? You have
Speaker 14: those little black buttons so the buckle doesn't go all
Speaker 14: the way in the bottom of your seat and you
Speaker 14: gotta you gotta fight to get it back up because
Speaker 14: you got to behind the door. And that's sort of
Speaker 14: thing so I thought, I give them a go.
Speaker 2: Hang on, are those buttons to stop you? Where are
Speaker 2: the buttons?
Speaker 14: Did a look on your on your seat belt? All
Speaker 14: cars have got them, when you know the buck where
Speaker 14: you put around your the plug into your the fush
Speaker 14: into your your seat belt, into the locks and maybe
Speaker 14: sit there. Heaven, it's a little I don't even know.
Speaker 14: They hadn't here until until That's until one came off
Speaker 14: when I thought I was pulling out to get out
Speaker 14: of the bottom of the door. There's a struggle. And
Speaker 14: don't you to be something about this?
Speaker 2: What happens if the buttons not there? I don't understand this.
Speaker 14: No, the the you know the back all the crown
Speaker 14: thing that puts over your shoulder into your clicking into
Speaker 14: your side of your seat.
Speaker 2: Oh that fulls that falls down? Does it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 14: That little button comes up, then the buckle comes all
Speaker 14: the way down. It's a pain, you go that.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know what to call to order it.
Speaker 14: So they were going to they call them. They call
Speaker 14: them a secure I just called them secure buttons. But
Speaker 14: you go to rep coat they wont two dollars fifty
Speaker 14: for one just a little bit black button, you know,
Speaker 14: I thought, I'll try tenn and you can buy a
Speaker 14: peck for I think it was eight, and a peck
Speaker 14: for like they're special for three. That's three ninety nine
Speaker 14: plus delivery.
Speaker 18: Wow.
Speaker 11: So I thought, well, give it a go.
Speaker 14: And then they had a special if you buy too
Speaker 14: or you know, well I buy two, I get basically
Speaker 14: sixteen of them. I putting it using my life, but
Speaker 14: I thought for that price only cost me seven dollars
Speaker 14: for eighteen of them. It's going to cost me two
Speaker 14: dollars fifty for one.
Speaker 2: But there's a real irony here Pete too, because no
Speaker 2: one I've ever know has ever lost one of those buttons.
Speaker 2: It's probably something only happens once in a lifetime.
Speaker 14: Right, Yeah, it's pretty rare, like rip and it would have.
Speaker 2: Cost you two fifty to get one from Ripco. Instead
Speaker 2: you've spent seventeen dollars.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I suppose it's no, no, no, no, I got no,
Speaker 14: I got. There were three three dollars ninety I think
Speaker 14: for a pack of eight of them. So I thought, oh, well,
Speaker 14: and they've got two off and I'll get two of them,
Speaker 14: two packs of them. It's probably not good logic, sense
Speaker 14: of it, wasn't paying any delivery on them, so only
Speaker 14: cost me what But they eight backs for sixteen of them.
Speaker 14: So I thought, while I'll get two loss of a month,
Speaker 14: I've got friends, and then they even lose them, I'll
Speaker 14: just giveing in summer as well, you know. So, But
Speaker 14: the service was exceptional, like as soon as I bought them,
Speaker 14: as soon as I've paid them the money obviously much
Speaker 14: they get that first and then they said that it's
Speaker 14: cinderspatch now, and then they followed up and then to
Speaker 14: go through customs. I think all the stuff is then
Speaker 14: they've got to wear house and Auckland. I think I
Speaker 14: think it comes all the way from China. We're making
Speaker 14: money out of that. I think they've got to wear
Speaker 14: house in Auckland somewhere and then all the way through
Speaker 14: that's now it's in the now, it's gone to customs. Now,
Speaker 14: it's gone just left customs. And when it right to
Speaker 14: my door, the customer service was exceptional.
Speaker 2: And where will you put them so you know where
Speaker 2: they are next time you need them.
Speaker 14: I got special places for my my car parks. Going
Speaker 14: back about those trees, carrying those trees and sorry before
Speaker 14: girl got killed, but it's not like you said, Marcus,
Speaker 14: you use your eyes.
Speaker 7: It should be taught.
Speaker 2: Is that what they're talking about. That's yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: tragic thing. But yeah, no, I see that's what I
Speaker 2: didn't realize. They were a fair of debt thought going
Speaker 2: through Maine cities. Yeah, that should have been that should
Speaker 2: have been fenced off.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but you can't go around Captain all the trees man.
Speaker 11: Yes, you don't walk and next to.
Speaker 2: A school because people kids don't realize how fast trains are,
Speaker 2: if the if the railways are accessible.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, as far as if it's close to the school,
Speaker 14: maybe for safety, I'll go along with the line.
Speaker 2: I don't really, I don't. Yeah, I don't really know
Speaker 2: the layout there. But that was that's something should have
Speaker 2: been done because it happened twelve years ago.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I agree to any around school to make it safe,
Speaker 14: more safe than they don't say they can be seen.
Speaker 14: I agreed to that totally. But you can't go around
Speaker 14: Captain all flaming trees down and look ugly if you
Speaker 14: cuddle the trees down, for it's just the way that
Speaker 14: you can't stop everything ken into the day.
Speaker 2: So why are they're cutting down the trees?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 14: Because they reckon. There were obviously in that particularly the
Speaker 14: part is with it, you know, appeeling your old got
Speaker 14: killed must be something to do with the dough worth,
Speaker 14: your hopeful or not being seen or something or whatever.
Speaker 14: You couldn't either train or whatever.
Speaker 2: But you just ca oh, I thought they said they
Speaker 2: were fencing it off.
Speaker 17: No, I think I know.
Speaker 14: I think I cut in the trees there.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got to do some more research about that, Pete.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I appreciate you coming through about TIMS. Thank
Speaker 2: you for that. Kada'm it's Marcus. Greetings and welcome.
Speaker 11: Hi Marcus. I just wanted to talk about Team Movely. Yes, yes,
Speaker 11: I've had a couple of good experiences, you know, just
Speaker 11: getting little stuff like phone cases and things like that.
Speaker 11: And yeah, I think I've bought a couple of things.
Speaker 11: I can't really remember exactly what they were my first,
Speaker 11: you know, a couple of items, and then I kind
Speaker 11: of started experimenting, like I don't know, that's buying an
Speaker 11: electric streets brush or something like that. And it was
Speaker 11: kind of a bit disappointing later because I think certain
Speaker 11: items you've got to be careful, you know, they're just
Speaker 11: not up to Yeah, you know, the standard, but but
Speaker 11: they were really good. Like whatever I bought, you know,
Speaker 11: I wasn't happy with it, and I kind of just
Speaker 11: you just go on the app and you know, let
Speaker 11: them know and then they kind of just gave me
Speaker 11: the refund. I mean, you get a credit back, you
Speaker 11: know to buy something else.
Speaker 2: So did you see the elect did you see the
Speaker 2: electric toothbrush back?
Speaker 11: No, they didn't because it was my first time, you know,
Speaker 11: like saying, well, it was just awful. I mean, you know,
Speaker 11: I mean it was only ten dollars, but as opposed
Speaker 11: to a fifty one hundred dollars or be you know,
Speaker 11: electric ones. Yes, and this was just like it wasn't strong,
Speaker 11: you know, like it was just too weak, like you know,
Speaker 11: it wasn't powerful and that's annoying. Yeah, yeah, it just
Speaker 11: wasn't you know, it was but it was only ten dollars,
Speaker 11: but I was not going to use it.
Speaker 2: And I was like, so what what but career, what
Speaker 2: what did you see back?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: I haven't because okay, anything, so you don't know what's
Speaker 2: sending backs like because you haven't done it yet.
Speaker 11: No, but I don't I don't know if they I mean,
Speaker 11: I know i've heard some people before on the talk
Speaker 11: back or mentioned it, but I don't know if they
Speaker 11: really bother because it's not really worth it for them
Speaker 11: to send a package and take it back. I suppose
Speaker 11: so they kind of I mean, they're just to take
Speaker 11: a photo of it and download it on the app
Speaker 11: and just give you a credit back. I don't know
Speaker 11: how many how many times they do that, but I think,
Speaker 11: you know, a couple of times. I think they probably
Speaker 11: let you get away with it, you know, if you're
Speaker 11: not happy with it, but if you keep taking advantage
Speaker 11: of it, they might want it back. I don't know.
Speaker 11: I don't know how I think.
Speaker 2: I think with most retail now, with it's the couriers
Speaker 2: are so expensive, no one ever wants you anything. They
Speaker 2: just don't want to say they want you to destroy it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's just de beds
Speaker 11: watch you buy on there, and it's I would say
Speaker 11: it's a hidden myths, but some things are kind of
Speaker 11: you know. But it's also the wait time, like it's
Speaker 11: not too long, but it's still like you know, you
Speaker 11: can't just go down the road and get a phone case.
Speaker 11: You know, you're still got to wait for a week.
Speaker 11: You know if you can't get instantly. So because I
Speaker 11: don't do any other online shopping. You know, I'm not
Speaker 11: a fan of online shopping. No, you know, I'll just
Speaker 11: go to Dress Smart or you know, you just go
Speaker 11: get it on the day, you know, go you go
Speaker 11: on a sale and you know you still find good
Speaker 11: prizes over here if you you know, go to the
Speaker 11: right places. So, yeah, I don't go and shop everything
Speaker 11: on Tamu or you know, I'm not a big fan
Speaker 11: of t.
Speaker 2: Have you built clothes on it?
Speaker 11: No, no, I don't. I don't think I would do
Speaker 11: that because you know, because as you know, it's sizes
Speaker 11: and everything. It's bad enough.
Speaker 2: Going even into the shop, yes you're saying it. Yeah, No,
Speaker 2: I think the materials would be kind of yeah. I
Speaker 2: can't see myself buying clothes on there.
Speaker 11: No, I think I think it's okay for certain things.
Speaker 11: You know what phone cases really interesting because instead of
Speaker 11: spending like fifty one hundred dollars on a phone case here,
Speaker 11: like you know, with wallets and chains and all sorts
Speaker 11: of things, you know, I mean, they do have some
Speaker 11: stuff like for ten or twenty dollars, you know what
Speaker 11: I mean, Like, but you just got to pick the
Speaker 11: right items, and then you might not be happy with some.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was listening to an article about someone in America,
Speaker 2: like who is the mother of a like a young girl,
Speaker 2: like a teenage or a teeny girl thirteen for I forget,
Speaker 2: forget the age, and just what the purchasing habits of
Speaker 2: the teen girls in America is, like buying skirts for
Speaker 2: like six dollars and just you know, every day this
Speaker 2: stuff coming in. But what's happened now is that Trump
Speaker 2: is that Trump's put the kibosh on it because there
Speaker 2: was there used to be there used to be some
Speaker 2: rule that you could that you could there was an
Speaker 2: eight turn dollar limit on things that could be important
Speaker 2: for free. I'm not quite sure why that rule existed,
Speaker 2: but they've got rid of that. So actually wish I
Speaker 2: could work out what were Anyway, it's been it's been
Speaker 2: nice to talk, so I thank you for that year, Lois.
Speaker 2: It's Marcus. Good evening, good evening, Marcus.

Speaker 15: up talking about Yes, he wouldn't buy clothes off? What's
Speaker 15: wrong with the closed off? By all my cloth?
Speaker 2: I think he said, Lois. I think he said that
Speaker 2: it's hard to work out sometimes sizings because he might
Speaker 2: have a different he might be an awkward size.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well I'm an awkward size. But no I buy.
Speaker 15: I buy all my those team or my underwear. Everything

Speaker 15: Yep, and I'll tell you what it's. It's core of
Speaker 15: the price. Take anywhere else?
Speaker 2: Does it take you a while to get your sizing right?
Speaker 15: No, just I bought I bought something. I've bought something
Speaker 15: and it was too tight, so I went up the
Speaker 15: size and now I'm disordered.
Speaker 2: I've got the size, and oh you'll be very you'll
Speaker 2: be very happy.
Speaker 15: I've mean that too much on Timmu. And I tell

Speaker 2: Tim two at the kids and buying stuff with the
Speaker 2: kids and Christmas presents?
Speaker 7: Yep?
Speaker 15: Yeah, well I got I got this big, quite big,
Speaker 15: and it's metal and it's good, it's not it's not
Speaker 15: a cheap I think cost me about thirty five bucks
Speaker 15: or something, and a big team was truck. Yeah, you
Speaker 15: know you could buy things. You need to look on
Speaker 15: your phone, get TIMO on your phone and look, because
Speaker 15: you can get cheap things now and put them away
Speaker 15: from your kids for Christmas.
Speaker 2: But you yourself said you're hooked and buying far too
Speaker 2: much junk.
Speaker 15: Right, No, I don't want junk. I didn't say I
Speaker 15: by junk what I buy too much? I'd see this
Speaker 15: and I see that, and that's a good idea like that,
Speaker 15: so I buy that.
Speaker 2: Like what sort of things?
Speaker 5: I bought this torch?
Speaker 10: I bought this torch.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I bought exactly. That's what I'm interested.
Speaker 2: Are you going caving?
Speaker 15: It's got four bulbs in the front of it. Ye,
Speaker 15: ridiculous And it doesn't and it doesn't here, it's not ridiculous.
Speaker 15: It's got more powers and what you and you and
Speaker 15: you put it in like your phone, you put it
Speaker 15: on the charger.
Speaker 2: So you going caving?
Speaker 15: Yeah? I think I'm might.
Speaker 2: You made my night, Lois, you made my night. Thank
Speaker 2: you for that?
Speaker 10: There we go.
Speaker 2: I think that's lowis. It's got the problem with Scott Robertson,
Speaker 2: doesn't it? See the Yeah, brilliant Jeepers Kriefers twenty six
Speaker 2: to twelve. I've worked out why the whole thing happened
Speaker 2: with us talking to that guy or Carem about the
Speaker 2: about how kids in America just buy so much stuff
Speaker 2: on those things like shining things like that because the
Speaker 2: clothes are so cheap. You've got a tween or a
Speaker 2: teenage girl, like six or seven dollars for a like
Speaker 2: a boob tube or a scot Yeah, something like that,
Speaker 2: the sort of fashion that kids want for them all.
Speaker 2: But in the thirties in America, they had a law
Speaker 2: passed called the deminimus exemption. And deminimus means too small
Speaker 2: to matter. And it's because that small items it's not
Speaker 2: worth collecting customs for because it's more hassle than it's worth.
Speaker 2: And I think the limit originally was ten dollars, but
Speaker 2: it got increased to eight hundred dollars. And it means
Speaker 2: that shipments bound for an American business and consumers very
Speaker 2: under eight hundred dollars per person twenty the US are
Speaker 2: free of duty and taxes. So that was the whole
