Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.
Speaker 2: I'd be grinnings. Welcome eight Await Marcus three to twelve.
Speaker 2: I hope it's good. We you're If it's not good,
Speaker 2: or if it's just average, I hope it gets better
Speaker 2: by the time midnight comes around. A couple of things
Speaker 2: we will talk about tonight and feel free. If there's
Speaker 2: something that you want to get going on, feel free
Speaker 2: to jump in with that. Breaking news of that happens
Speaker 2: the next four hours all across it. So if something
Speaker 2: happens locally and internationally, you're no stone unturned to bring
Speaker 2: that to you. By what I'm saying, if you're tuned in,
Speaker 2: the world's not going to pass you by, you'll know
Speaker 2: what's going on. Boom people everywhere phoning and texting of
Speaker 2: there's stuff that happens. What's amazing. Thing is us coming
Speaker 2: to work tonight where a woman called from Norway last night.
Speaker 2: Nothing unusual about that, but people didn't think she was
Speaker 2: in Norway, and people didn't think she was in Norway
Speaker 2: because the quality of the phone line was say good,
Speaker 2: it was so was that amazing? Then? Now talkback's internationally
Speaker 2: you can call from anywhere and no one knows where
Speaker 2: you are. In fact, funnily enough, the calls from Norway
Speaker 2: are probably better than some of the local ones. I
Speaker 2: think it pays if you are on a wally phone
Speaker 2: to turn towards the transmitted to get the sound quality good,
Speaker 2: because that's just what it's like. You get your argument
Speaker 2: across better if you are like that. By the way,
Speaker 2: I've got terrible rain fade on the TV. Don't know
Speaker 2: what that's about. It looks like it's pretty, looks like
Speaker 2: an oil painter's palette, So I'm not quite sure what's
Speaker 2: going on there. I presume it's probably the rain, and
Speaker 2: I presume it's probably the new satellite. Not particularly happy
Speaker 2: with it, but it's beautiful. I'll take a shot for
Speaker 2: it for you. I don't know what it's I don't
Speaker 2: know who to call anyway, I don't have to watch
Speaker 2: anything tonight. It's not like anything importance on blues and purples. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I'll send you. I'll put your shot on a Facebook
Speaker 2: page because you might find that. Find that a form
Speaker 2: of anyway. Where is I going with that? What was
Speaker 2: I on about?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Phone calls? I've done that havenin so there we go. Anyway,
Speaker 2: do get in touch you on to be a part
Speaker 2: of the show. Here's a question for you. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you want to answer this or how you
Speaker 2: want to answer this, because it's going to go somewhere
Speaker 2: and there's method to my madness. In twenty years time, No,
Speaker 2: let's changed that. In ten years time in New Zealand,
Speaker 2: what will be more common Jendles or Crocs? And I'm
Speaker 2: fascinated this because crocs came along about fifteen years ago
Speaker 2: and everyone berated them and said they were terrible. Then
Speaker 2: they came back and everyone wears them. However, we also
Speaker 2: had that time that jendles kind of went out of
Speaker 2: vogue and that you got those heavy arnas that everyone
Speaker 2: thought were fantastic, although they were just Jendles with Mexican
Speaker 2: name and they were all the rage. But I suspect,
Speaker 2: and I'm wanting to be challenged on this. I suspect
Speaker 2: that slowly, gradually and kind of h and a devil
Speaker 2: may care way, the crocs are taking over. Am I
Speaker 2: right about this? I've never owned Generals, I've never owned Crocks,
Speaker 2: but fastrated by footwear, what do you think in ten
Speaker 2: years time would be most common crocs or jendles because
Speaker 2: crocs are a bit like Shortland Street. People have sworn
Speaker 2: off them and they want to fight this to the end. Well,
Speaker 2: I've never well like the Condeshians or I've never watched
Speaker 2: the condestionis I'd never wear crocs. I'm appreciated people's anti
Speaker 2: passion of them. But I just want to know from
Speaker 2: you in ten years time, what will be more common
Speaker 2: in New Zealand Crocs or jendles. So I've got quite
Speaker 2: strong opinions on that. I'm curious about you actually report
Speaker 2: or your opinion on this eight hundred and eighty ten
Speaker 2: eighty and nine to nine two to text. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: what do you think is the most common? I tell
Speaker 2: you why. The reason I'm thinking about this is because,
Speaker 2: oh that's beautiful there o my rain fade on the TV. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll send you this one as well, Dane. I think
Speaker 2: this one's even better. You're just beautiful rain fade. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you for that. Hey, So anyway, because the other
Speaker 2: thing that I'm thinking about so is that, oh that
Speaker 2: one's even better that rain fade. Now you never see
Speaker 2: some so where I want to actually go with tonight?
Speaker 2: So I want to use crocs and genitals to an
Speaker 2: introduction to a topic tonight. Because you never see on
Speaker 2: signs anywhere for dress code. You never see no crocs,
Speaker 2: still see no jendles, but you never see no crocs.
Speaker 2: Why is that? Are crocs considered more formal than jendles?
Speaker 2: And then we're extrapolate that even slightly further between crocs
Speaker 2: and jendles are dress code is still a thing? And
Speaker 2: I know we've got a diverse audience, summoch rural, someicit,
Speaker 2: but when was the last time you were not let
Speaker 2: in somewhere because of what you were wearing? Does that
Speaker 2: still happen? I mean, apart from gang patches, you can
Speaker 2: go anywhere, can't you. I mean these days even the
Speaker 2: flesh people. You go into the Codu Lounge or something
Speaker 2: like that, and all the businessmen on the weekend are
Speaker 2: dressed like Toddler's in sort of long shorts and kind
Speaker 2: of sandals. So I'm wondering if dresseddand is still a
Speaker 2: thing and you can still get turned away from a
Speaker 2: bath I've not been in the right clothes. I'm sure
Speaker 2: you can in some places. I guess it depends on
Speaker 2: what security guards they've got. Cam Marcus, welcome. Cam's just
Speaker 2: proven my point about the quality of the cell phone
Speaker 2: lines has come through and is self terminated straight away.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about dress codes and when was
Speaker 2: the last time you got turned away because of what
Speaker 2: you were wearing. Once upon a time, for me, you
Speaker 2: could not go anywhere wearing jeans. Sorry too casual people
Speaker 2: would say these days probably you'd go places to be known.
Speaker 2: That's not wearing jeans. So anyway, I am quite quite
Speaker 2: keen to talk about that tonight. Get in touch. Oh
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine to
Speaker 2: to text. It's crocs versus jendles and dress standards or
Speaker 2: dress codes. Oh eight hundred eighty T and you can
Speaker 2: call back if you like to. Oh eight hundred cam
Speaker 2: you can call back if you want to as well.
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine to nine
Speaker 2: two to text, do come through? You want to start
Speaker 2: the whole wall rolling tonight? Oh eight hundred eighty ten
Speaker 2: A D and nine two nine too to text? Looking
Speaker 2: for to what you've got to say? I'll get to
Speaker 2: the texts. Did cam come back? No good cams going
Speaker 2: through a cams going through a bad patch aren't we
Speaker 2: all cheapest creepers? Marcus, are you feeling okay? You sound
Speaker 2: like a colt is coming on in the day after
Speaker 2: surf Raglin. I can't imagine sending my kids to kindy
Speaker 2: without crocs. Wow, breaking news. What's Kroc mean, Marcus, never
Speaker 2: heard of it. That's a worry. Crocs the Devil's foot
Speaker 2: were everywhere a social misfit. In my honest opinion, I
Speaker 2: feel about this quite strongly. Wow, I've got no problem.
Speaker 2: I'll try not to be judgmental with footwear. However, I've
Speaker 2: never liked jendles because I've never liked anything between my toes.
Speaker 2: And once upon a time I did get a pair
Speaker 2: of footwear. It was a form of footwear that you
Speaker 2: could bury. They were self composting. It was quite a thing.
Speaker 2: I had to call the pet means he's the shoe
Speaker 2: whisper to find me a pear, and he did. But
Speaker 2: they had like a toe loop that we're run your
Speaker 2: toe just to have crippled me, like anywhere do anything
Speaker 2: down there? So anyway, moodoc Marcus welcome, Okay.
Speaker 4: Marcus after him? The last time someone got to when
Speaker 4: I got the knight for a dress code, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: because the casino and the often said he used to
Speaker 4: be very very strict on what you could and you
Speaker 4: couldn't wear when at first open yes, yes, and then
Speaker 4: they got slacker and slacker and they let you in
Speaker 4: the Jandles shorts whatever. But I went in one night
Speaker 4: and I was the Jandle's shorts and a singlet, and
Speaker 4: I went up the security guards and they said no,
Speaker 4: no singlets, and I was like, oh really, And so
Speaker 4: at the time I was driving my mother's car, so
Speaker 4: I went down to my mother's car. It seems like
Speaker 4: a lot smaller me. You had this old woolen what
Speaker 4: you call it cardigan I think I think very like
Speaker 4: stretched it over up to my elbows and we're all
Speaker 4: bolding out and they went up there and live. But
Speaker 4: you know, they see very strick. But I'm a big
Speaker 4: eyeing companies most of time, but very really these as you.
Speaker 2: Do, you know, do you not get anywhere in gum boots.
Speaker 4: I lived at the Hawks Pay for a while and
Speaker 4: even issue didn't been doing a gumboats, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Murdoch, which is a good thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, someone in some ways gumboats might be the
Speaker 4: new thing coming in. I think they might be the
Speaker 4: big thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, because I've seen Kate Moss at Glastonbury
Speaker 2: with those with those bowbery ones that go up the
Speaker 2: thigh with a buckle on. They're quite smart, aren't they.
Speaker 2: They've become dera, haven't they?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and misially played for orcogram OFFESSI Steen and my
Speaker 4: niece that goes to place Nickball and you go to
Speaker 4: the flash of the Auckland School games and a lot
Speaker 4: of people are rocking the old red bends trying to
Speaker 4: sort of lumbing.
Speaker 2: And what do you call it? What do you call
Speaker 2: the town that's what do you call a towny that's
Speaker 2: pretending they are from the country? You call them a
Speaker 2: The rural people have a view on that, won't they?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 7: I don't know?
Speaker 3: And what.
Speaker 8: Gamma?
Speaker 9: Yeah, you don't want to.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll appreciate the first words, but I'm good. Just
Speaker 4: ask me.
Speaker 2: I'll just google it. I think I don't want to
Speaker 2: get mixed. I don't want to get mixed. I don't
Speaker 2: want to get mix skimming with the work computer. But
Speaker 2: I'll try it. I'll try a fig jammer. Okay, bye bye,
Speaker 2: it's having I get mixed skimming anyway. Eighteen past eight,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty eight. I certain know what a
Speaker 2: fig gemmer is. I don't think it's going to cut.
Speaker 2: It's not going to come up on Urban Dictionary, is it. Oh,
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to be too bad. Actually, anyway, get
Speaker 2: in touch with talking dress code. So when was the
Speaker 2: last time? What are you not getting with these days?
Speaker 2: I know, and in Theble people have been defence he
Speaker 2: dress parties and they've been dressed as Nazis and stuff,
Speaker 2: and they haven't got fair enough. But I'm wondering what
Speaker 2: you need to do not to get lead in somewhere
Speaker 2: these days. I think crocs probably are de raguir. I
Speaker 2: think if you had jendles you have put socks on
Speaker 2: with them. I think jendles look smart. If you've got
Speaker 2: a pair of those socks with individual toes a toe sock,
Speaker 2: always think they look good. Anyway, get in touch head
Speaker 2: on midnight. Oh wait, undred eighty we're talking about dress
Speaker 2: codes and crocs Marcus. I remember the rules around town
Speaker 2: were no black jeans and you must have a collar.
Speaker 2: As for Jendles, the guy on the adverture of change
Speaker 2: to sign to no shorts Marcus, crocs great microplastics as
Speaker 2: they wear down. Don't forget the sea level rising due
Speaker 2: to climate change. Goodness, Oh, our fig jam is an acro.
Speaker 2: It's good. Just ask me. Oh, by the way, I
Speaker 2: saw a really good you know how we sometimes doing mnemonics,
Speaker 2: and I saw a really good mnemonic today for the
Speaker 2: Great Lakes and it was phenomenal. How to remember the
Speaker 2: Great Lakes. I'll bring it, Okay, just see if I
Speaker 2: can find I should have taken a screenshot. Yeah, fantastic.
Speaker 2: So the mnemonic for remembering the Great Lakes is Lisa
Speaker 2: likes licking lettuce lightly, So that's the way to remember them.
Speaker 2: Lisa likes licking lettuce lightly. And it's Alpha Lake Superior,
Speaker 2: Alpha Lake Michigan, Alpha Lake Huron, Alpha Lake Erie, Alpha
Speaker 2: Lake Ontario. Brilliant. That's the Internet for you. And they
Speaker 2: think they want to ben it for sixteen year old.
Speaker 2: So good a twenty three. Good evening, Rodney. It's Marcus,
Speaker 2: Welcome Rodney.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 8: I guess hey, Look, I'm class Christia. Are you doing
Speaker 8: this from home or from the office?
Speaker 2: I do that. I work from the office.
Speaker 8: I go that fairness. Look, I'm amazed with the International
Speaker 8: Caliphone things. I deal within the air Q eight Egypt,
Speaker 8: and when I'm a pankle, it's brilliant. It's just like
Speaker 8: you don't you know, as clear as day?
Speaker 2: Is it from land? Is it from landlines or wallyphones.
Speaker 8: Nasal phones? Just what WhatsApp?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable. Ah, we do, but remember we do.
Speaker 2: We do have facility that people can phone talk back
Speaker 2: via WhatsApp overseas, don't we. Then, yeah, you can call
Speaker 2: up with a WhatsApp. It's never been done though, has it?
Speaker 9: Then?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if someone messages that, we can call them
Speaker 2: back and they can do a conversation what'sapp from overseas,
Speaker 2: which is pretty amazing.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I remember when Carrie Wooden was in London
Speaker 8: doing a show from London a few years ago, and
Speaker 8: you wouldn't even know she was over there.
Speaker 2: That maybe she wasn't, Maybe she wasn't. There's been great
Speaker 2: things in radio whe people have pretended that there was
Speaker 2: a run radio station always had someone in a helicopter
Speaker 2: every morning doing the traffic, but they were just at
Speaker 2: the studio playing a helicopter sound. That's famous. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: sure she was there, but I think that's probably all
Speaker 2: with the tie line and stuff. There's more complicated ways
Speaker 2: they can do it now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I think the guy who does the overnight show,
Speaker 8: why is he not in London doing it? So he
Speaker 8: just says away from twelve in the afternoon to bloody.
Speaker 6: You know you have often in the morning.
Speaker 2: I've often thought about that, you do it. You'd have
Speaker 2: the the New Zealand mid down hosts living in London
Speaker 2: and the English mid dawn host living in New Zealand,
Speaker 2: or better still, better still, you were just broadcast the
Speaker 2: English daytime short nighttime over here and vice versa.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you can be great going back the Jannals
Speaker 8: versus crocs. I think channels will always win.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just not seeing any any I'm not
Speaker 2: even seeing them for sale. I think they've I think
Speaker 2: they've gone. I think it's over.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, but I think if you're only comparing two
Speaker 8: things I wear.
Speaker 2: Let me guess what you'd wear.
Speaker 11: I can hear it.
Speaker 2: I can hear it. This is about a summer. This
Speaker 2: is a summer footwear. Is it you you'd wear you'd
Speaker 2: wear Keynes?
Speaker 8: No, I wear hush puppies. Really, Yeah, they're slip on ones.
Speaker 8: I don't so much work in the add least, only
Speaker 8: think it's great you slip on and just wander off,
Speaker 8: and then I'm in a boring old person and winter
Speaker 8: I wear socks, just really.
Speaker 2: Annoyle, well out of the hush to wear socks. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and to work without a.
Speaker 8: Shoe now, no, I'll come my hush puppy slip ons
Speaker 8: on my.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't you feel lazy with a slip on like
Speaker 2: a shoe. That's a slip on.
Speaker 8: I don't want to get to work up in my
Speaker 8: steel caps on but getting bad much relacting on my feet.
Speaker 2: And I would never have thought that was gonna say,
Speaker 2: hush puppies, tonight, good evening, Leonard's Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 12: Good evening, Marcus. When I was at school, which was
Speaker 12: a long time ago because I'm ninety five now, but
Speaker 12: we were taught the great legs to say homes yes,
Speaker 12: Zeron Ontario, Michigan Aria superior. So that was another one
Speaker 12: of the great legs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but that's not in any particular rorder. Is
Speaker 2: it east to west, west to east.
Speaker 12: But it made it very easy to remember once you
Speaker 12: got the homes.
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, it was a bit of a joke
Speaker 2: that one. Then with the all of the beginning with L.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but that's good. I appreciate you calling love
Speaker 2: your age, Marcus. I hope jandals stay is the best
Speaker 2: foot where, but acc will disagree. I have many kids
Speaker 2: on my school bus run and most of them wear
Speaker 2: crocs that they're a bit like Donaldsburg's. The kids just
Speaker 2: a cold of mind bending advertising. Don't ever think crocs
Speaker 2: are advertised. I think the only kids. The reason kids
Speaker 2: wearing Crocs is once upon a time, post Malone wore
Speaker 2: them and kind of and then I think Biber warned
Speaker 2: them wore them before he kind of got in a
Speaker 2: bad space. I'm feeling for Bieber actually, anyway, Marcus jandle
Speaker 2: sandgropers from Para Rubber got six peers. Marx, please tell
Speaker 2: us about the one. Please tell us the one about
Speaker 2: the guy who tied the jumper leads around his neck
Speaker 2: to combine with the dress code. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it is. What's the jumper leads one? Ah, cheapers? What's
Speaker 2: that one? It must be a joke. I've got to
Speaker 2: google it because I think I've heard it. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I think I've actually told it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, you're right that we've got to find that one.
Speaker 2: It's a good thing about having a bad memory. You know,
Speaker 2: jokes and you forget them. I can't find the joke.
Speaker 2: We're talking dress codes are there's still a thing. When
Speaker 2: was the last time we had a fight with a
Speaker 2: door person about what you were wearing? Too casual? You think, well,
Speaker 2: actually I thought you wanted people casual. I never say
Speaker 2: too uptight. Jason, good evening. It's Marcus welcome, just.
Speaker 13: Very quickly reiterating what right he said about the hush
Speaker 13: puppy slip ons. They are brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I've owned
Speaker 13: about six period of ambars.
Speaker 2: I can't picture them. Where are you buying them?
Speaker 14: You can just you can get them from like the
Speaker 14: number one shoe wearouse.
Speaker 15: Oh well, okay, there are brown there are a brown river,
Speaker 15: and they've got like a merry foam soul.
Speaker 13: So when the foot goes in and it takes a
Speaker 13: couple of days for it to mold your foot. But
Speaker 13: they are brilliant.
Speaker 6: Okay, this pair of I.
Speaker 11: Just keep going back.
Speaker 2: Have they got a black sol or a white soul?
Speaker 13: Black soul?
Speaker 2: Okay? And is the rubbish? Is the leather a bit dimpled?
Speaker 16: No?
Speaker 13: No, it's like probably a properly probably a strap that
Speaker 13: they Yeah, it just hugged your foot and yeah, like
Speaker 13: I say, I've got a law in them all sorts
Speaker 13: of weather. Yeah, I came him to Fiji overseas. I've
Speaker 13: never found another pier as good as so, Ronnie, you go.
Speaker 2: Right, I did, by the way, and I missed something
Speaker 2: to number one shoe warehouse combine with Hannah's. Did they
Speaker 2: join up?
Speaker 13: Yes, they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that that was done quietly.
Speaker 13: What do they call it a quiet here?
Speaker 2: Quiet merger? Stealth? I think it's a stealth merger. You
Speaker 2: should know that with your corporate travel, that's a stealth merger.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you, Jason. Thank you. So the
Speaker 2: joke about the jumper leads is is and man goes
Speaker 2: into Le Bernardin without a time and has told he
Speaker 2: cannot be seated dressed that way, so goes to his
Speaker 2: car pools instead of jumper cables out of the trunk,
Speaker 2: wraps around his neck and returns to the restaurant. He says,
Speaker 2: now I'm wearing a tired like a table. The matre
Speaker 2: d looks for him for a moment and says, well, okay,
Speaker 2: but don't start me WHOA, that's good. That's good. If
Speaker 2: anything with jump Leets is a punchline, the joke has
Speaker 2: got to be good. Ross it's Marcus, good evening.
Speaker 17: Good evening, Marcus. Just on the on the Jendle versus
Speaker 17: Crocs scenario, What about croc jendles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the thing, isn't it.
Speaker 17: It is it is, but but no, I used to
Speaker 17: be Jendle that Now I've converted to crops and they
Speaker 17: are the most comfortable thing I've ever had.
Speaker 2: So it's not even it's not even apart from the
Speaker 2: esthetic and the looks of it, right, because some people
Speaker 2: are hideous. Yeah, but it's they're not even within the
Speaker 2: same ballpark of comfort, are they. The crops are just
Speaker 2: leaps and bounds a shoe advancement, aren't they exactly?
Speaker 9: Exactly?
Speaker 17: And you know, I work in retail on a nice
Speaker 17: hard concrete floor and the crocs are just great, cool
Speaker 17: year round, and.
Speaker 2: No one you're allowed to wear them, obviously you're dealing
Speaker 2: with the public, and there's no drama about the crocs.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 17: It's fine. We sell them, so it's it's not an issue.
Speaker 17: Probably fifty to seventy percent of the staff wear them?
Speaker 2: Wow? And is it a shoe retail thing you're in.
Speaker 17: Russ No, no, no, no, no, no more a sporting
Speaker 17: good sort of scenario. But yeah, they are absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 2: You've got more than one pair?
Speaker 17: I've got two?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Would you do you swap? Do you wear unmatching ones?
Speaker 9: Ever? No?
Speaker 17: Because they're both black.
Speaker 2: Fears and without and without gibbets.
Speaker 17: Without gibbets, yes.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're not'll do gibbets?
Speaker 11: Do they?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 9: Many?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 4: Many?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 2: Well, I've never had it. I don't think I could
Speaker 2: ever see that myself happening appear. When would I buy Crocs?
Speaker 2: When would I what would happen to me to buy Crocs?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I just don't know. No, I can't see the scenario
Speaker 2: or it happening where I'd be wearing. And I don't
Speaker 2: say with judgment. I actually quite like them. I like
Speaker 2: the fact that they seem to last forever. And the
Speaker 2: world record for running the London Marathon and Crocs it's getting.
Speaker 2: I mean it's quite competitive. It's like about two hours
Speaker 2: twenty like it's not bad at yess. I've I mentioned
Speaker 2: that two fifty eight twenty four and that's I mean,
Speaker 2: if you did a marathon on two twenty eight fifty four,
Speaker 2: you'd be happy two fifty eight twenty four. Now, did
Speaker 2: you have the safety bar up or not? That's the
Speaker 2: question we want to know. Isn't that we're the in
Speaker 2: sports mode? He'd never run a marathon. Flip, he'd never
Speaker 2: run a marathon, didn't hit the wall. He developed a
Speaker 2: blister and his left foot that made running the Crocs unbearable.
Speaker 2: With the crowd support him, going my left foot is
Speaker 2: going through paint, even though exist on the pain spectrum,
Speaker 2: he says. The crowd lifted him up and helped him continue.
Speaker 2: I wasn't just breaking the world word for myself, he
Speaker 2: blis break it for the people. How it ended as
Speaker 2: Kroc Challenge At the time of two fifty to twenty four.
Speaker 2: The Guinness World Record team is still verifying the time,
Speaker 2: but when it is how it will have beaten the
Speaker 2: record by four minutes and seveneen seconds. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he's in sports mode or not. For those that
Speaker 2: don't know, including me, he had a lightning McQueen mcgibbett.
Speaker 2: Apparently people give him the evils at the start, thinking
Speaker 2: was in crocs and they went happy with it. I'm
Speaker 2: just waiting for an article for a picture. I think
Speaker 2: he's running with a selfie stick as well. Are they yellow?
Speaker 2: It looks like a real unit. Actually, wow, is that him?
Speaker 2: He's got those shorts at marathon runners where that are already
Speaker 2: cut high up the side? Twenty three away from nine
Speaker 2: Marcus till twelve dress codes we went the last time
Speaker 2: you actually got kicked out of somewhere or questioned about
Speaker 2: your dress at a establishment. Does it happen? I mean
Speaker 2: it's a good thing. We've become much more chilled out
Speaker 2: about it all, isn't it? Would you say that people
Speaker 2: aren't saying sorry, mate, no jeans? But I think even
Speaker 2: there most places you could wear shorts, couldn't you.
Speaker 9: That?
Speaker 2: Someone's text of the holes on crocs are there to
Speaker 2: let yourself respect escape Marcus crocs the most ill fitting
Speaker 2: foot where I can see children slopping around. They have
Speaker 2: all the giblets, which are badges which they attach. Will
Speaker 2: be a problem after their feet grow. Marcus weren't allowed
Speaker 2: to bars, clubs and jendles. Think some still have that role.
Speaker 2: Slip ons? Are they not also called a boat shoe?
Speaker 2: And then a comment that it's not good people that
Speaker 2: wear socks with jendles. Jonats Marcus, Welcome, good evening, Oh
Speaker 2: hello Marcus.
Speaker 16: Last night on the Chase a guy come on with
Speaker 16: shorts on. Well did Bradley.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 16: It was so funny and he was a good looking
Speaker 16: you know, good guy can come on. And Bradley just
Speaker 16: started laughing and he said, you know about what you're
Speaker 16: wearing your shorts. He just didn't say much. It was
Speaker 16: so funny. I don't know, and that we got through.
Speaker 16: I think the shorts brought us off. No, I didn't
Speaker 16: put him off. He looks fapinous and he's short. Because
Speaker 16: when he walked back to the table, Bradley was finding
Speaker 16: it hard to contain himself. And I mean, I'm like you,
Speaker 16: I won't wear jendles because I don't know anything between
Speaker 16: my toes toes. No, but I go to visit my
Speaker 16: sister to day with my longtime friend Barbara Madge had
Speaker 16: a pair of jendles on. I said, God, you've got
Speaker 16: jendles on. She said yes, she said, and she'd like
Speaker 16: my cousin Barbaraho's ninety four. She goes be her feet
Speaker 16: inside and but oh, I don't like jendles and people
Speaker 16: flipped fop on their jendles. And my grandchildren wear their
Speaker 16: crops Spencers of Leaven and he's he's got his crops
Speaker 16: and he's at Christmas time. He got these things to
Speaker 16: put in there.
Speaker 2: They're called joan. Do you know what they're called? No?
Speaker 2: Do you think they've got a special name?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Have they gibbets, gibbets, giblets? It does sound like giblets,
Speaker 2: but it's not giblets. It's gibbets. And someone invented gibbets.
Speaker 2: And then the crop company brought up for six million dollars.
Speaker 16: Oh gosh.
Speaker 2: So so that's the way it works. Gibbets.
Speaker 16: My oldest brother lives in Harden where we went to
Speaker 16: high school. He comes out to x Country at the
Speaker 16: Kiboy Club once a month, but he's got his shorts
Speaker 16: on coming into winter and he had shorts on.
Speaker 2: Those hard men that work. You can get into anything
Speaker 2: in the country club, can you?
Speaker 16: Wasn't The working Men's club.
Speaker 9: Would.
Speaker 2: But what what would you have to wear to not
Speaker 2: get into the Kaipoy working Men's Club.
Speaker 16: Well, it's got a dress code as you're going well
Speaker 16: like Papanou Club has no no hats, no jendles, no
Speaker 16: whatever you can wear. You can wear shorts. I mean
Speaker 16: so I don't mean to wear shorts.
Speaker 2: Could you wear gendles.
Speaker 16: I don't think so. I'm not sure people shouldn't drive
Speaker 16: wearing jendles, but they do, don't they.
Speaker 2: I think that's do you think? I think that sounds
Speaker 2: like something for the nineteen six When was the last
Speaker 2: time you saw a death notice that said poor Emily
Speaker 2: dead because she wore generals driving. Does it happen?
Speaker 16: I don't know. But Jendle's not very good on a
Speaker 16: bike either. You wouldn't be riding a bike with jendles
Speaker 16: on shouldn't be well.
Speaker 2: Probably the fitness would probably the thing like dr biking
Speaker 2: in jendles, The good you'd beat, the cardio vscular good
Speaker 2: you would be doing might actually probably cancel out all
Speaker 2: the risk of dying when you put a jendle through
Speaker 2: your spoke or something.
Speaker 16: Well, lady years ago coming home from the coast, she's
Speaker 16: drinking coffee while she was driving, and she went off
Speaker 16: the road. You know, I mean, you don't do that,
Speaker 16: do you? You're driving the road from christ Chick to the
Speaker 16: West coast.
Speaker 2: What put her off the road? Was you drive? Was
Speaker 2: it the coffee that put her off?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 16: She was drinking the coffee and when they found a
Speaker 16: car off the road she hit the coffee was spilt
Speaker 16: in the car. Yeah, it wasn't the hand was the manual? Oh,
Speaker 16: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't have to be a manual for that to
Speaker 2: which you couldn't change gears. You're steering with your knees.
Speaker 2: But I think people once said you could we covered
Speaker 2: for insurance if you're driving in gendles. But I think
Speaker 2: that's a I won't say wives tale because that's six
Speaker 2: a sexist, but yeah, yeah, I don't think any. I
Speaker 2: think some people probably put the generals onto drive because
Speaker 2: it works so well. Quite a big range of gibbets.
Speaker 2: A gibbets, Yeah, the best gibbet you can get is
Speaker 2: a crock. It's a mini crop that goes and so
Speaker 2: it's a gibber of a croc, which is pretty neat.
Speaker 2: Marcus was refused to entry for wearing jeens years ago.
Speaker 2: So stepped into my jersey with my belt to hold
Speaker 2: it up. Was allowed, and so he put his legs
Speaker 2: through the arms and his jersey with a belt that legendary,
Speaker 2: well you would look like a unit cheap as Marcus.
Speaker 2: For those of youly forties now who remembers the days
Speaker 2: the old ugly pinstripe Hellenstein's shirts and buying Hannah's corporate
Speaker 2: dull shoes just to get past the dormen Marcus. Up
Speaker 2: the estuary at Point Wells, there's a pair of green
Speaker 2: crocs floating on the water tethered to a bhuta kawa.
Speaker 2: Try with a sign beware of the crocs, Simon. Nice
Speaker 2: to hear from your Simon, dB Marcus.
Speaker 7: Good evening, good evening. In my continued mission to learn
Speaker 7: the sartorial elegance of yours show and my general environs,
Speaker 7: I'm an inveterate jamble wearer.
Speaker 2: What what ones but the old brown and white pow
Speaker 2: of rubber ones with the shark tooth. Yeah wow?
Speaker 7: As I go for a colored soul, that depends what's
Speaker 7: cheaper than warehouse at the time, because they last me
Speaker 7: about six months eight months? And then through them or
Speaker 7: the toe piece.
Speaker 2: Pulls out, and which goes first?
Speaker 7: Normally the toe block pulls out.
Speaker 2: I wonder why that happens, because that rubber around the
Speaker 2: wheeze down, does it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just it fatigues itself away and it gives
Speaker 7: a cracking and then one day and.
Speaker 2: You don't actually step on a couple of times, you
Speaker 2: don't actually step on one and then pull the other
Speaker 2: foot up. It's not when you've actually through pilot era,
Speaker 2: is it.
Speaker 7: Oh, I've done that a few times. You've tried to
Speaker 7: trip over my own jendles. Well, but a lot of
Speaker 7: my friends see that as a step up because I
Speaker 7: used to be only barefooted.
Speaker 2: Well, there we go. And what caused the change?
Speaker 7: Well, I just got older and soft footed, and I've
Speaker 7: got rid of the boat. On the boat, I never
Speaker 7: wore anything on my fend less does at work. And
Speaker 7: but I am going to change. And I may even
Speaker 7: keep you up today with this. Having heard about the
Speaker 7: hush Puppies and I haven't.
Speaker 2: I thought you're going to go to the crocs? Why
Speaker 2: would you go the cross? Why would't you go the
Speaker 2: Crocs rather than the hush Puppies.
Speaker 7: Look, I'm rough, but I'm not that rough.
Speaker 2: No, but they're kind of quite elegant. I mean, you
Speaker 2: can look like a toddler with giant feet, giant molded feet.
Speaker 2: But people do swear by them.
Speaker 7: I'd look like shreck.
Speaker 2: Have you thought of giving it a go?
Speaker 7: I've never I've never a water pair of crocs. Crocs
Speaker 7: just no, they just don't do anything for me.
Speaker 2: You seem quite close to the idea if I could
Speaker 2: say that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think I am.
Speaker 2: I think I have a You got a croc at block?
Speaker 7: Yeah, an adverse adversity to them, crop.
Speaker 2: Block you've got?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 20: Have a.
Speaker 2: Were you have to pay you to wear them?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: You do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hush puppies. I always thought hush puppies were synonymous
Speaker 2: with the world ugliest shoe. Mind you, we are talking
Speaker 2: about croc That does sound ironic, doesn't it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's rather And I do need to wear closed
Speaker 7: shoes for if you're going to a I can't wear
Speaker 7: gendles into a restaurant. And I don't like wear the
Speaker 7: shoes anymore.
Speaker 2: Because of because of the animals.
Speaker 7: I think I know nothing but that I'm just my
Speaker 7: feet have got big and flat and wide, and I've
Speaker 7: find shoes uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think you'll find Yeah, I think they are leather,
Speaker 2: the hush puppies. But thank you, Oh Marcus. My friend
Speaker 2: doesn't wear shoes at allway was hard flying with the guy.
Speaker 2: It's always an argument with the airline. They would say
Speaker 2: it was a safety issue when you would explain that
Speaker 2: generals are allowed, which was more of a safety issue
Speaker 2: if the plane goes down than my bare feet. I
Speaker 2: think for places like movie theaters and planes, I don't
Speaker 2: like you've been in bear feed in case these glass
Speaker 2: and they feel they'll be culpable. Marcus, I can't wait
Speaker 2: till midnight. Does Roman wear sandals very good? The texts
Speaker 2: are great, as are the calls. We're talking about dress standards.
Speaker 2: Is that still a thing?
Speaker 11: Be?
Speaker 2: Could you still go out wearing something that for and
Speaker 2: that meant that you weren't allowed to enter an establishment?
Speaker 2: Were as? Certainly clothings changed, hasn't it? They say, no sneakers,
Speaker 2: We get Guccie sneakers for about ten thousand dollars. WO
Speaker 2: get in touch. I wait one hundred and eighty Taddy
Speaker 2: in nine nine to text Marcus and clothes. Leather sandals
Speaker 2: cover most bases, four season, short streams, walking, driving, careful cycling,
Speaker 2: but perhaps not driving a track door. Some of says Marcus,
Speaker 2: who'd you talk aboutdrisk coads believe in it's thirty years
Speaker 2: since Supina Black won the first America's Cup. I saw
Speaker 2: an old photo from hugging Russell Coots both justin Polos.
Speaker 2: There must have been freezing out this sailing in the
Speaker 2: San Diego Harbor. Wild How farrets come when you see
Speaker 2: what sales GP and modern American Cup teams are wearing
Speaker 2: now thirty years they didn't realize. Oh wait, one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty nine nine two detects nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: five must have been San Diego. I think that was
Speaker 2: the Red Sox one. Were the boats the same or
Speaker 2: were we playing?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I can't even remember. Were they both mono hules? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Young America was a yacht were up against Pete Marcus. Welcome,
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 21: There, Marcus. He's just regarding the Freedom and Campus down Queenstown.
Speaker 21: You know, I think they should maybe build some sort
Speaker 21: of a camping area for them because the short accommodation.
Speaker 21: Those people spend money when they're down there, you know,
Speaker 21: So that time the councils got off their backsides and
Speaker 21: build something for them.
Speaker 2: So what do you say to the person that owns
Speaker 2: the local campground. They've spent a fortune on buying that
Speaker 2: and having accommodation for cabins and caravans and camper vans.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but there's two lots.
Speaker 21: I've been overseas and done traveling in that way.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 8: Some people will got.
Speaker 21: More money to have that facility, but when your freedom
Speaker 21: campers are on a different budget, so you've got to
Speaker 21: cater for both.
Speaker 2: You know, no, because directly is the that's the bread
Speaker 2: and butter for the person that's got the campground. There
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 21: No, we all know here and over and over again
Speaker 21: in Queenstown they're sort of workers for their restaurants and
Speaker 21: so forth, and all those freedom campers they need, they
Speaker 21: need money to carry on traveling around New Zealand and
Speaker 21: cater for them. So the council a little bit lazy.
Speaker 2: I think, well, they're not lazy, but they've got people
Speaker 2: playing huge rates down the waterfront and people are bathing
Speaker 2: in the lake and defecating in the lake. I guess
Speaker 2: that's where it becomes complicated for them.
Speaker 21: You've got people that facility for them, some showers and
Speaker 21: a little bit of land for them. I think the
Speaker 21: problem will go away and come and be a little
Speaker 21: bit flexible towards the people that they make money they
Speaker 21: gave it. The more the facilities they use, the budgy
Speaker 21: jumps in it, they all make money. So I think
Speaker 21: everybody's going to put a little bit of put their
Speaker 21: hands in their pocket and make it work.
Speaker 2: I think you've got a very charitable view on backpackers
Speaker 2: in general and their budgy jumps, but I would imagine
Speaker 2: most of them are seeing the country instant noodles and
Speaker 2: doing it really, really on the cheap. I know a
Speaker 2: little bit about this last summer. I camped at Moak Lake. Right,
Speaker 2: have you been there?
Speaker 20: No?
Speaker 21: Probably, how I've traveled all of sound Off Island pretty much.
Speaker 15: Okay, it's probably fifteen k's a quarter of an hour's
Speaker 15: drive from from Queenstown, right, nice setting.
Speaker 2: So what would.
Speaker 8: I recall that place?
Speaker 2: There's a dock camping ground there at midnight, it would
Speaker 2: just be endless camper vans coming in at midnight because
Speaker 2: that's the time they could have come to avoid paying
Speaker 2: the ten dollars per person fee that's there and leaving
Speaker 2: six in the morning. That's how tight they are. They
Speaker 2: were deliberately doing what they were deliberately doing what they
Speaker 2: could to avoid paying a very modest fee to stay
Speaker 2: the night there.
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's a hard one.
Speaker 2: Their bludges they're taking around, they're taking the mickey, they're bludgers.
Speaker 2: How would you feel if they started camping on your
Speaker 2: main street day and night and they've got those damn
Speaker 2: doors they open and shut, those sliding doors, terrible noise.
Speaker 21: Yeah, I realize what you're saying, but I'm just saying,
Speaker 21: facilitate somewhere for them, and surely they could. They could
Speaker 21: do something by you. I've known, I've known fight couple
Speaker 21: of victims or something and just scarffing the good money spent,
Speaker 21: and you probably find that and then the counter they
Speaker 21: can really hit them hard for fines and stuff. They're
Speaker 21: not parking, and they should far as I'm assume, they
Speaker 21: get their heads together and make it work, and I'm
Speaker 21: sure there'll be a better benefit for them.
Speaker 2: All three had also to enforce freedom camping laws because,
Speaker 2: particularly in South and their sparse areas, you can't employ
Speaker 2: people to go around. I mean they camp and bluff
Speaker 2: not so much since the Covist, but you know there's
Speaker 2: no one to go up bluff hill and see if
Speaker 2: they're there or not, because who would do that. Counsels
Speaker 2: are short stuff. Please can't do it. So you really
Speaker 2: have free to camp wherever you want. There's no one
Speaker 2: there to enforce it. Oh you're still there? Are you
Speaker 2: still there? So I thought I put you on there
Speaker 2: down though? How are you put what would you be?
Speaker 2: You'd be crocs or generals? Are a safety boot? Oh?
Speaker 8: These crops are?
Speaker 21: I used to man used to have a boat the
Speaker 21: enemy the odd time, and that they're very good for
Speaker 21: a voater for you and a boat. And they're getting
Speaker 21: in from the ramp and stuff like that're going inside
Speaker 21: your boat. They're very good for that. We're inside boats
Speaker 21: that are not bad.
Speaker 2: My TI from his peak Marcus, freedom campers have had
Speaker 2: their day. They don't want to pay, so why waste money?
Speaker 2: And they don't clean them after themselves. That guy's talking rubbish.
Speaker 2: What about people who wear pajamas to the supermarket? No class?
Speaker 2: I imagine the way it's going soon it will be compulsory. Yep,
Speaker 2: they love it. Marcus. Welcome, Hello, Hi Marcus, Hello Marcus,
Speaker 2: how are you You're good?
Speaker 5: Real good good?
Speaker 20: Hey?
Speaker 5: I just wanted to why not comment on the freedom
Speaker 5: keeping thing. I'll just just because I heard you talking
Speaker 5: about it and avonside in Christ church is actually a
Speaker 5: church just off the team or and it's tucked right
Speaker 5: off the thing, and they actually they let people freedom
Speaker 5: camp there. It's taken away from all that stuff, and
Speaker 5: the church will ye, that's the place.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that what sort of church would
Speaker 2: what sort of church would encourage freedom campers to be honest.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the dominant denomination they are, but
Speaker 5: I think it's quite good because open this is very
Speaker 5: near the red zone in christ Church, where there's no
Speaker 5: houses and a place that was quite frequent for freedom
Speaker 5: campers abusing the place with their litter and their stuff
Speaker 5: like that, and have provided a place where the church
Speaker 5: provides them with rubbish bags and stuff like that. I'm
Speaker 5: not saying I don't agree for freedom keep by the
Speaker 5: way they're them, but I like the fact that the
Speaker 5: church provides a place for them to do that. That's
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. And I don't know on things
Speaker 5: account with the nightclub, Well, when you go, it would
Speaker 5: be still keep beats if I'd take my steelkips to
Speaker 5: the nightclub bounces usually coming to deep on my toe
Speaker 5: and make sure that and I.
Speaker 8: Really go out.
Speaker 2: I say owl sounds like if wes thing what sort
Speaker 2: of what like is that on the strip?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah yeah yeah yeah light clubs, nightclubs.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: And and you've got to pretend they're not steal steel kept.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I pretend I go, I go because the middle
Speaker 5: work beads. But then they don't have the steel caps
Speaker 5: on the outside, but they can obviously tell a PERI
Speaker 5: still it's in there. I don't know, maybe for the
Speaker 5: violence that some Crossi's people might get into kicking people
Speaker 5: something I don't know, But they go they're not still
Speaker 5: kept out there and they go no, and then they
Speaker 5: stick on my shir and how I pretend that they've
Speaker 5: crushed me to take because obviously the bounce of the
Speaker 5: big guy. But yeah, there's never worked. I've always busted out,
Speaker 5: so you can't. We still cat So what do you do?
Speaker 2: They go back to the car or borrow something or
Speaker 2: what do you do?
Speaker 5: Oh like throughout the last time it happened, like to
Speaker 5: say to me, mane, so see he's later, I'm going
Speaker 5: to text your home because I can't go all the
Speaker 5: way home to give me shoes. Did your shoes?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So you count me those and soudly I just wanted
Speaker 5: to say, you must have been doing this gig for
Speaker 5: a long time now, at least twenty something years. Yes, no, no,
Speaker 5: it must be close no because half that. Okay, well
Speaker 5: i'll explain this then. I used to go to work
Speaker 5: many years ago and there was a sign, a big,
Speaker 5: huge billboard on the Wolf and Rodot path and it
Speaker 5: was put a big, big, big, big, big billboard and
Speaker 5: it said good morning Marcus, and it was to do
Speaker 5: with you, and I just quite enjoined it because every
Speaker 5: day when I was going to work, i'd see that
Speaker 5: and I was pissed off. I was going to work
Speaker 5: obviously because it was a it was a.
Speaker 2: Are you are you with a sea k? I A see,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, you and I have done different jobs.
Speaker 2: But I've only been on this. I don't think I've
Speaker 2: been on this one for a decade yet, nine years
Speaker 2: or something like that. I think this would be on
Speaker 2: this would be that one. So yeah, Lidia, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 2: Hi Marcas, good Lydia, thank you.
Speaker 14: I'm calling about Freedom Camp. It's a topic very dear
Speaker 14: to my hearts. I am the tourism manager for the
Speaker 14: McKenzie District and this is well and truly a key
Speaker 14: challenge of our districts.
Speaker 2: Why is this back of the news in Queen's Down
Speaker 2: Are you following this? I can't work out why they
Speaker 2: have it wrong. I thought they've had about ten goes
Speaker 2: it resolving this, haven't they.
Speaker 14: There are a few lobby groups I think that are
Speaker 14: quite powerful behind the scenes, but I guess we absolutely
Speaker 14: need to turn this into a user pays system that's
Speaker 14: across the whole tourism ecosystem. Really, there's no way that
Speaker 14: regions like the McKenzie, like Queen's Light Westlands that have
Speaker 14: small rate payer bases compared to the visitation levels can
Speaker 14: afford for it to be anything else than user pays.
Speaker 14: So if it does mean councils introducing sites and charging
Speaker 14: for those sites, perhaps not building the facilities and infrastructure
Speaker 14: so that they're competing directly with the private sector holiday parks,
Speaker 14: but they certainly need to find a way to alleviate
Speaker 14: the pressure of ratepayers.
Speaker 2: So that means they've got to make a return of profit.
Speaker 9: Do they.
Speaker 14: Not necessarily a profit, but they've got to at least
Speaker 14: cover the cost, and there's a huge amount of cost
Speaker 14: associated with hosting freedom campers. It's absolutely nonsense. When people
Speaker 14: say it doesn't cost to host them, It costs you
Speaker 14: and keeping the upkeep of that land and keeping those
Speaker 14: spaces safe for freedom camping and litter and waste management.
Speaker 14: I mean, there's a lot of environmental degradation around those
Speaker 14: sites unless you keep on top of it. And then
Speaker 14: there's the compliance and monitoring. There's a huge cost to
Speaker 14: actually having people out there enforcing the by laws as
Speaker 14: well as the operating systems that sit underneath that. Then
Speaker 14: are you know about managing the infringement process and whatnot.
Speaker 14: So there's no way that those costs should sit on
Speaker 14: the ratepayers.
Speaker 2: Have they got the situation we're in Queenstown There already
Speaker 2: are freedom campers on Primar Land. I thought they'd send
Speaker 2: them to the WAPs years ago.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm not too sure. I can't speak too much
Speaker 14: about the Queenstown situation. I just know that we've also
Speaker 14: got our challenges in the McKenzie. We've got designative freedom
Speaker 14: camping spots. But to be honest, we meet that word
Speaker 14: freedom gone. We need to replace it with responsible, so
Speaker 14: it's responsible camping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although how keen are the how keen are people
Speaker 2: to be responsible?
Speaker 18: Well?
Speaker 14: I think I mean, we have to be good destination
Speaker 14: in showadge stewards right. We have to be enforcing this
Speaker 14: stuff so that we are leaving our place and we
Speaker 14: are protecting our place when it comes to visit is.
Speaker 14: And we do have to be a bit tougher about stuff.
Speaker 14: Use freedom campers to help the economy, the local economy,
Speaker 14: but not nearly as much as people in commercial accommodation.
Speaker 14: And we're not asking to make huge them. We're just
Speaker 14: asking them to have to pay their way.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you, Lydia, Thank you. Twenty past
Speaker 2: nine Marcus, the sports news are to tell us the
Speaker 2: orbects are taking sabbaticals in ja pain. In the UK,
Speaker 2: sabbatical is a rest from normal work. They are taking
Speaker 2: a less sophisticated time known as a busman's holiday. We
Speaker 2: used to say knocking off work to carry bricks. I
Speaker 2: don't know if that's a busman's holiday. I thought a
Speaker 2: sabbatical you did work when you were away. I don't
Speaker 2: know the full meaning of a sabbatical. I thought at
Speaker 2: university people went on sabbatical, they went over season, continued
Speaker 2: to study. So maybe we need to look at the
Speaker 2: meaning of sabbatical. But your fair point a period of
Speaker 2: paved leave granted to a university teacher rather work for
Speaker 2: study or travel, study or travel. Maybe they are studying Rugby,
Speaker 2: don't know, Thank you, All the lines are free. We're
Speaker 2: talking dress standards. When was the last time I would imagine? Look,
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a situation now because
Speaker 2: I haven't nah gets on quite true? If you're going
Speaker 2: out in a small town or your rural areas, how
Speaker 2: tough are they on dress codes? It's still a thing
Speaker 2: they say? Sorry mate? Or are bars so quiet now
Speaker 2: with everyone just watching Netflix at home that take anyone
Speaker 2: they can. We may be in the Hawks Bay Napier
Speaker 2: on a Saturday night or a Friday night of some
Speaker 2: bars humming do you have to dress up to get in?
Speaker 2: I would imagine the whole thing is much more relaxed.
Speaker 2: I think we should be grateful for that. That's my take.
Speaker 2: I think the bars are probably happy to get anyone
Speaker 2: in them, are they? But when all restaurants we was
Speaker 2: the last time you were turned away for not being
Speaker 2: smartly enough dressed? And did you go for the jumper leads?
Speaker 2: Get in touch here till twelve and what's gonna win
Speaker 2: the Battle of the Zealand foot. Where is it going
Speaker 2: to be crocs or is it going to be generals?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure crocs are here to stay when the
Speaker 2: kids have got them. They're in doctorate from the kindy
Speaker 2: right through you ever seeing such a shoe takeover? I
Speaker 2: know they say they're dangerous, but really could they be
Speaker 2: more dangerous than gendles generals? You go sideway and the
Speaker 2: wet it gets wet under the hill. Next thing you
Speaker 2: know you go sideways. You're all over. You're at the
Speaker 2: old A and E waiting for the author come and
Speaker 2: fix your reset your ankle. I don't know what the
Speaker 2: most dangerous shoes you've got are. I would like to
Speaker 2: hear from you anyway. I can't imagine they're that dangerous,
Speaker 2: are they? But Gendles hell Marcus smoked like incredible spot
Speaker 2: at ruin by late night noise, a lack of respect
Speaker 2: for other kempers. Lequm monitoring is such a shame of
Speaker 2: specially because it's in the valley and the noise amplifies easily.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're so on the blood. When they save
Speaker 2: money for the holiday, they wanted to go as far
Speaker 2: as they can, but the holiday is not a holiday.
Speaker 2: It's a challenge to see how little money they can
Speaker 2: spend on their instant noodles. Basically what they do is
Speaker 2: they eat as many instant noodles as they can to
Speaker 2: give their energy to open and shut those sliding doors
Speaker 2: as many times as they can. The way everyone goes
Speaker 2: to bed, then up and down they get to about
Speaker 2: three in the morning, opening and shunning. It's not good.
Speaker 2: Then buying and selling each other's vans. But there's a
Speaker 2: place in Lumsden, Glumsden they call it. They've got kind
Speaker 2: of a central precinct, I think where the railway station
Speaker 2: used to be, and they've made that a freedom camping spot. Why,
Speaker 2: I've got no idea, but every time I go there
Speaker 2: or drive passes a playground there, so we stop there
Speaker 2: quite often if you're going well Bluff Queen's Tout's halfway.
Speaker 2: It's got you know, the kids like it. And it's
Speaker 2: always about thirty or forty people living in station wagons
Speaker 2: or vans. But every time they're here, they all they're
Speaker 2: all just during this performative toothbrushing, wandering around, making a
Speaker 2: song and dance about brushing the teeth. Like most of
Speaker 2: the day it's all they seem to be doing, wandering
Speaker 2: around with phone. I can't work it out. They are
Speaker 2: just such overt teeth brushes. It's weird, like it's some
Speaker 2: sort of courting ritual. Anyway, Blumstone will come to their
Speaker 2: centers and tire of them before too long. I would
Speaker 2: think it doesn't seem like a really nice place for
Speaker 2: a holiday. There's no view, James, it's Marcus good evening.
Speaker 11: Yeah good. I was going to tell you a bit
Speaker 11: more Roman sandals. I brought pretty good ones. Pretty good.
Speaker 11: They've got bacro on them with that sort of thing. Anyway,
Speaker 11: I tried to do a sneaky sly steep on the
Speaker 11: off the steep at the bottle store, Camorroll, Crisp Cross
Speaker 11: Rains Spring the Nkoy. But yeah, so I was just
Speaker 11: going to say Roman sin was probably the most dangerous
Speaker 11: out to wear.
Speaker 2: What do you reckon? Was the design felt that caused
Speaker 2: you to go sideways?
Speaker 18: Uh?
Speaker 11: Well, I'm not too sure. It's probably the group.
Speaker 2: Were you're sweety underfoot, we're sliding because sometimes you can
Speaker 2: slide in a sandal between your feet and the top
Speaker 2: of the soul.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, No, no, no, no, it
Speaker 11: was the back part. Was it the back part? Yeah,
Speaker 11: I haven't.
Speaker 2: Seen a Roman sandal with valcro. Where had you got them?
Speaker 11: Uh? It wasn't It wasn't the wheelhouse. Uh I can't remember.
Speaker 2: What had you got from the bottle shop?
Speaker 11: No, no, no, no, no, no, Well I already had them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, but what what what had your just?
Speaker 11: Oh the sandals Roman sandals?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 2: But did you say you were walking out of the
Speaker 2: bottle shop?
Speaker 11: Now, I was walking to the bottle shop. Okay, year,
Speaker 11: I was quite quite pleased you.
Speaker 2: So did you get to the bottle shop? Would you
Speaker 2: have to tap out?
Speaker 11: Yeah? I just no, no, no, I was with a
Speaker 11: couple of friends, so we walked.
Speaker 2: Were injured.
Speaker 11: Uh, my ankle was was for a bit, but then
Speaker 11: to come right the next day. And I've been wearing
Speaker 11: the medicines and hitdn't had any problems. But I was say,
Speaker 11: you buy a new pier, you buy new Peer sandals,
Speaker 11: Roman sandals, you gotta watch out because it's the old
Speaker 11: they spraying the ankle.
Speaker 2: I'd say that's pilot era though, James, I'd say you
Speaker 2: sound like the sort of guy that could come a
Speaker 2: cropper in any kind of footwear because that okay, was
Speaker 2: it like I see or anything?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 2: Rain, Oh yeah, Rain, they'll do it, James. Nice to
Speaker 2: hear from you. Thank you, oh boy. Twenty seven to ten.
Speaker 2: If you want to be a part of it, freedom camping,
Speaker 2: freedom camping. Yeah, I'm amazed they're still heaven in Queenstown.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine who would be wanting it or advocating
Speaker 2: for it, but yeah, you never know. Anyway, probably should
Speaker 2: have read the article. Although I heard one of the
Speaker 2: councils speaking about one of the councils used to be
Speaker 2: breakfast radio. They're kind of fairly, kind of alively unit
Speaker 2: that one. He spoke quite well. I thought one of
Speaker 2: us hood but I think it was like woodstock in
Speaker 2: the lake. So I don't quite know what's going on
Speaker 2: up there. To Marcus. Good evening and welcome.
Speaker 22: Hey Marcus.
Speaker 4: How's going?
Speaker 2: Yeah, good time?
Speaker 3: How you go?
Speaker 18: All right?
Speaker 9: You can make it?
Speaker 14: Hey.
Speaker 9: I had a bit of a chuckle when you talk
Speaker 9: about the havenas. I just chucked them out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Well, to me, they didn't look that.
Speaker 2: To me, they didn't look that comfortable.
Speaker 9: Well, I guess you know, general in particular can't be comfortable,
Speaker 9: especially in summer and when you're you know, when you're
Speaker 9: sweating and you're walking on Queen Street and the black
Speaker 9: tar stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and but but I've.
Speaker 9: Got a bit of a story. I remember, probably about
Speaker 9: ten years ago, I was evan Guadalajara mixed. Do you
Speaker 9: know I've been in the army so ricked all over
Speaker 9: the world and I could spott a bloody kiwi from
Speaker 9: a mile away back. It was raining and there's the
Speaker 9: bro with his jendles on.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh and do you acknowledge him?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 9: Of course, you know that the two eyebrows salute matey
Speaker 9: and went up to you know, the bloke from I
Speaker 9: think he might have been from the Hawks Bay and
Speaker 9: he's catching rugby over there, and you know, one thing
Speaker 9: led to another. We ended up in the bar and Mixico.
Speaker 9: You can just pay anyone. They don't care what you're wearing. Yep,
Speaker 9: sure enough he went out in the bloody hair irons.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's probably a good thing that you can recognize people internationally,
Speaker 2: because Key was with the generals everywhere, wouldn't they We
Speaker 2: might have lost that identity.
Speaker 9: Oh I'll tell you what that is our identity. But
Speaker 9: when you talk about crops pretty much all the kids
Speaker 9: and the schools wearing crops now.
Speaker 2: With them, all of them because I think they take them.
Speaker 2: I think they take them off for the class too.
Speaker 2: I think they want something because you've got hat. I
Speaker 2: think with these days a kid to go have hats
Speaker 2: as well when they're out, and it's just it's just easy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's easy to put on. I mean especially you
Speaker 9: know if you're tying lace takes a bit of time
Speaker 9: or your mates have already run off to the playground.
Speaker 2: Is credit Guadalajara, it's not coastal.
Speaker 22: Is it?
Speaker 9: No, noolated. I was actually based in Mexico City most
Speaker 9: of the time.
Speaker 2: Were you there for on assignment?
Speaker 9: Yeah? Yeah, I been all over the world made I
Speaker 9: was there, and I was in Central Africa. I was
Speaker 9: in Peru. I think my last assimmon I might have.
Speaker 9: I was even the Solomon. So the good question to home.
Speaker 2: But the stuff when you're in South America or Central
Speaker 2: America and so in South America, that's that's private security stuff.
Speaker 2: That's not with using armed forces, is it.
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 9: No, No, that's private security stuff. I thought sort of
Speaker 9: a mersonary mate, But yeah, I'm retired.
Speaker 2: And mercenary and gendles a hit the going. Okay, you've
Speaker 2: got a book there, or just leave it all in
Speaker 2: your head.
Speaker 9: Leave it all in my head, mate. Yes, what happens
Speaker 9: on tour stays on.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. The only part I was asking
Speaker 2: about whether it was coastal? Tom answer me this. Always
Speaker 2: used to see gendles washing up on the beach. You'd
Speaker 2: always see generals, never a matched Pierre because I presume
Speaker 2: fishermen or boaties they fell off their feet jumping on.
Speaker 2: But you don't see crocs washed up? No, why not?
Speaker 2: Do they not last? Do they break up? Or people
Speaker 2: they're too valuable and people don't let them go.
Speaker 9: I think it's a valuable they're a piece of gold nowadays. Well,
Speaker 9: one story I will share, uh, you know, being back
Speaker 9: in New Zealand and I love it and living back here,
Speaker 9: lived overseas for twenty odd years. But like I said,
Speaker 9: the Genderle story is always a synonymous Zealan. But I
Speaker 9: was on the Mexico American border about fifteen years ago
Speaker 9: and shoes, millions of shoes would always be washed up
Speaker 9: on the shorelining close to San Diego. Okay, so what
Speaker 9: are the people doing. Are they swimming over or are
Speaker 9: they They were just leaving their shoes behind and they're.
Speaker 2: Leaving the shoes before they before they swim into America.
Speaker 2: Is that what's happening.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well they were doing that, they being I don't
Speaker 9: know if they're doing it now. Trump on board. There's
Speaker 9: been digging holes to go over to the States.
Speaker 2: So you're right barefoot, do you?
Speaker 9: Well, apparently they do. But yeah, it's an interesting world.
Speaker 9: It's an interesting world.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from your tim Thanks to your call. Hi, Nathan,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus. Welcome. No, Marcus good thinking.
Speaker 10: Nathan had to get involved in the crops check. Once
Speaker 10: you've run a here of crops, you'll never you'll never
Speaker 10: go back to your year old school Mark.
Speaker 2: Jandles exactly, exactly, exactly comp.
Speaker 10: On the front door pier or on a back door pier.
Speaker 10: And I've got I wouldn't call it a dress here,
Speaker 10: but just a pair of cross I just keep for
Speaker 10: you know, for special occasions, very very comfy. I came
Speaker 10: back from Thailand with about nine peers of fake cross
Speaker 10: some of the kids and some for myself. Paid about
Speaker 10: something back to peer in Thailand for the fake crops.
Speaker 10: But honestly, mate, your your your feet will will love
Speaker 10: you for it after going you know, the old school
Speaker 10: genders are terrible for your feet.
Speaker 2: That's it. Terrible between terrible between your toes, terrible teen.
Speaker 10: The toes and the kids show me you can go
Speaker 10: to sports road as well, so you're not going to
Speaker 10: have that problem where they slip off, you know, slip
Speaker 10: out the back of a gender. You can put that
Speaker 10: strap around the back of the ankle and it's you know,
Speaker 10: health and safety approved or whatever. It's it's the way
Speaker 10: to go. Yeah, once you once you're going across, will
Speaker 10: never go back to the old school.
Speaker 2: Do you worry that the financial model is not sustainable
Speaker 2: because they never wear out the company might go bun, Well,
Speaker 2: well they do.
Speaker 10: My kids wear them every day and they do wear
Speaker 10: out eventually. But maybe that's just the fake crops that
Speaker 10: I've been going from from Thailand. But yeah, we.
Speaker 2: Eventually, and you know, I think with my kids they
Speaker 2: grow out of them. They leave them at the beach
Speaker 2: and they float away or they grow out of them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, that great.
Speaker 2: Do you go with your front door paer and your
Speaker 2: back door pier and you're out for dinner paer, Are
Speaker 2: they all the same color?
Speaker 10: I've got a beige, I've got a black for the
Speaker 10: front door, and I've got a kind of a navy
Speaker 10: blue for special for wearing out. So yeah, I run
Speaker 10: three different colors.
Speaker 2: You got gibbets, No gibbets trying to a couple of gibbets.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we got some t W gibbets or something, and
Speaker 10: they tried some on there. But I just like to
Speaker 10: run them pretty neat and playing and classy, you know.
Speaker 2: Like it never thought team for gibbets, But gee, that
Speaker 2: would be gibbets Central, wouldn't it. Gee t WHU for gibbets.
Speaker 2: They probably can't call them gibbets, can They never thought
Speaker 2: of team who for gibbets?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Gee boy, you can buy a lot quite cheaply.
Speaker 11: Loop.
Speaker 2: I like the crock gibbet, which is a gibbet, which
Speaker 2: is a tiny crock you put on your crocs. Ultimately,
Speaker 2: you want a tiny crock gibbet for the tiny crock gibbet.
Speaker 2: It's pretty meta. I think, as they say, crocs are garbage,
Speaker 2: flip flops of garbage you'll sink swimming and sneakers. They
Speaker 2: leave the shoes on the shoreline. The tide comes in
Speaker 2: and grabs the shoes. Marcus. I enjoyed the last caller. However,
Speaker 2: I would never use the word class and crocs in
Speaker 2: the same sentence. Well, some of you people are too
Speaker 2: fixed in your beliefs. Things evolve. I mean the crocs.
Speaker 2: Some of those crocs coalabs on the catwalk. I mean
Speaker 2: they were quite high end. Marcus. There was a Red
Speaker 2: Rooster restaurant in Milton about fifty metres south of the
Speaker 2: four Square, just past the Bend. Well, it's not the bend,
Speaker 2: it's the kink, Marcus. Bring back cowboy boots. I love them,
Speaker 2: but feel a bit say wearing them even better with
Speaker 2: a proper cowboy hat on too, Adam. I think the
Speaker 2: one thing cowboy boots were good for with if you've
Speaker 2: got a horse. Apart from that, not much juice, that's opinion, Marcus.
Speaker 2: Look up kroc plant is it's a great way for
Speaker 2: your old crocs. Woll it's a good idea. We've never
Speaker 2: heard of that, croc planters. I'll look it up for you.
Speaker 2: Do you just put your do you just put dirt
Speaker 2: in your crocs? I can't imagine what it's like I'm
Speaker 2: trying to visualize it. Oh you hang them on a wall,
Speaker 2: banging them to a wall and your plank cacked ie
Speaker 2: in them, and they're called croc pots. Not a bad
Speaker 2: idea crop planters. There you go for very pinterest looking Marcus.
Speaker 2: My husband has real crocs that have leather trim, quite
Speaker 2: expensive chairs and archiees. Jandle's game changer for comfort and
Speaker 2: agendaal look bad though they're all kind of a one
Speaker 2: They're but one piece. He looking the archies jandles are
Speaker 2: not on the way out. That scare mngering. What a bet?
Speaker 2: Write that down. I'll come back in ten years and
Speaker 2: see if it's still on, Marcus. For work, I have
Speaker 2: a for work, I have crocs bistro. They're for chefs,
Speaker 2: they have no holes, great on hard kitchen floors. And
Speaker 2: for my civy where I wear jandles all year round.
Speaker 2: His general purpose, I have archies. They're Ossie made jandles
Speaker 2: so cumfort, have arch support and are one piece. One piece.
Speaker 2: Is that a good thing? Means of this?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 2: Mind, I don't think he actually replaces their straps on
Speaker 2: their generals anyway, do they, Marcus. I've a pair of
Speaker 2: made in New Zealand. Good quality jendles brought at the
Speaker 2: warehouse nineteen ninety eight, sorry, nineteen eighty eight. They have
Speaker 2: a one inch rubber base. They are as still as
Speaker 2: good as the day I've bought them. They have never broken.
Speaker 2: Wear them three months every year since nineteen eighty eight. Marcus,
Speaker 2: my uncle in the seventies, had a pair of freezing
Speaker 2: works white steel cap gun boots he cut down to
Speaker 2: a slip on jendle slip on sandal or jendles, he
Speaker 2: called them. He drilled a few twenty millimeters holes in
Speaker 2: them so the air could circulate. He was buried in
Speaker 2: them in seventy five. They look just like crocs. What
Speaker 2: a leech had getting buried in those? Wow? Oh, you
Speaker 2: gotta love a modified gun boot. Not many have the
Speaker 2: ability to carry that off, but yes, they would look
Speaker 2: like a croc. I can just visualize as I'm talking
Speaker 2: about it. How are you going? People? Welcome HDDLE twelve.
Speaker 2: Get in touch. My name's Marcus. Good evening emails, text there,
Speaker 2: good your calls even better. It all works. Does he
Speaker 2: breaking news for me now? And midnight you will hear
Speaker 2: about it here. First. I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Trump's been quiet. Oh he's in Saudi Arabia. I think
Speaker 2: he's right now meeting the crown print. According to the BBC,
Speaker 2: probably don't have a look at a new plane as
Speaker 2: a brand new plane. Well it's not brand new that
Speaker 2: it's thirteen years old. It's new to him. Still a
Speaker 2: good price exale value. I don't know. Four to forty million, Well,
Speaker 2: I mean's not they're not selling it. He just used
Speaker 2: it for three and a half years and it goes
Speaker 2: to his library or you know. I don't know what
Speaker 2: happens to it then. But job done on that one.
Speaker 2: The way the show works, I said, what's going to
Speaker 2: be left in ten years time? Is it going to
Speaker 2: be a gendles? Is it going to be crocs? And
Speaker 2: the reason is because sometimes it bars, it says no
Speaker 2: jendles or scuffs, but it never says no crocs. So
Speaker 2: can you go anywhere and crocs? And by the way,
Speaker 2: when was the last time you weren't allowed to go
Speaker 2: somewhere because of how scruffly you were dressed? Always felt
Speaker 2: a challenge for me. I always said, I'm we're going
Speaker 2: to kick you back on now, and for a long time,
Speaker 2: it was no genes or you were too casual. Normally
Speaker 2: it was a problem when you went to christ Jurch.
Speaker 2: And I'm always thinking, well, surely they want people casual.
Speaker 2: I mean, what I should be saying is too uptime,
Speaker 2: but no, too casual. Anyway, we are talking about that tonight.
Speaker 2: That's the main topic. But a freedom camp is bubbling around.
Speaker 2: That's been a perennial talkback topic. But you know, the
Speaker 2: thing is about freedom campus. It's easy to say no
Speaker 2: freedom camping, but it's extremely hard to police because they
Speaker 2: are tricky and they're deceitful, and they text each other
Speaker 2: and they exchange secret, devious things to do to exploit
Speaker 2: this country. But they are spending their six dollars a
Speaker 2: day on instant noodles. Anyway, maybe we just need to
Speaker 2: pray for them, because actually obsessing about their mean, spirit,
Speaker 2: spirited this is not going to do much for them.
Speaker 9: Is it.
Speaker 2: Get in touching on a talktill twelve, eight hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty nine nine to text. By the way,
Speaker 2: the two point seven meter long alligator that start and
Speaker 2: doctored a little two with Steve Irwin and Eddie Murray.
Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy rather has died. It's been a tough day
Speaker 2: for those right to the Irwins. Laurie Marcus Welcomes.
Speaker 20: You certainly got hi Marcus. You certainly got her in
Speaker 20: for the for the Freedom Canvas.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 20: The when you think about the decline of the jendles,
Speaker 20: strangely enough, there's two major New Zealand brands that are
Speaker 20: sort of pushing them right now. Well, you know, the
Speaker 20: Scaler up and they do a thing called a red bandle.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know about that. Have you
Speaker 2: ever see anyone many people wearing them?
Speaker 20: I haven't seen them. Probably if it's a warm day
Speaker 20: a mystery creek, you could probably wear them round. But
Speaker 20: the other one that's doing one is swan Dry. Well,
Speaker 20: it's called a swandle. Is it really a red a
Speaker 20: red tartan jendle?
Speaker 11: How come?
Speaker 2: How come you're on to all of this?
Speaker 20: Just a casual look on the old Google jendle and they'll.
Speaker 2: Come up a swan Dry jendle. That seems to me
Speaker 2: to be a swan Dry crime.
Speaker 20: Well, it's called a swandle quite like that?
Speaker 2: Quite like that?
Speaker 20: Yeah, but they've got them in the Red Black Chick.
Speaker 20: But yeah, so I know but it must have met.
Speaker 20: I haven't seen any of those around. I think I've
Speaker 20: seen some bandals about.
Speaker 7: You know they do.
Speaker 20: They do the good size. They sell them up at
Speaker 20: the one of the local farm produce plates.
Speaker 12: Here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a swan dry and red bandy hit of the curve.
Speaker 2: They'll be doing a swan dry croc, a tartan crock
Speaker 2: and a red crop. That was what they because I
Speaker 2: think the jandals, I think the Jendles.
Speaker 20: By date well must be a bit of optimism that marketing.
Speaker 20: But those early crocs they were, they were lethal as
Speaker 20: far as slipping. Well, I might have mean rip off
Speaker 20: ones and I got some blue ones once they've got
Speaker 20: smooth under ethan. If you've got on wet concrete, you
Speaker 20: know that your legs to go right away from you.
Speaker 2: They say that, but I don't know is it your
Speaker 2: balance l I've never worn, by the way.
Speaker 20: I've got a new pair of and they call them
Speaker 20: all terrain crops. Right now, it's a bit more grippy.
Speaker 20: But funny that guy you when you're staying up and Guadalajara,
Speaker 20: he saw a Kiwi wandering around and Jendles. It's funny.
Speaker 20: Guadalajara used to be a place and I'm pretty certain
Speaker 20: that's where I bought a pair of you know, they
Speaker 20: made the Mexican gendle well you know they used to
Speaker 20: car tires and oh yes, but later on top of
Speaker 20: the way, back in the sixties. I've got a pair
Speaker 20: of those there and they worked for years.
Speaker 2: I've always been on a quest for for car tire sentinels.
Speaker 2: You get them from Africa, you get them of all
Speaker 2: sorts of places in there. They're hard to wear, they
Speaker 2: are hard, very unforgiving soul, and they're incredibly hard to adjust.
Speaker 2: And you're to try and buy another peer online. I'm
Speaker 2: free of looking for them and trying to buy them,
Speaker 2: but they they appear to be better than they really are.
Speaker 2: That would be my Yeah, I mean it's a recycled thing.
Speaker 2: Recyclable thing, isn't it.
Speaker 20: Yeah. Mine disappeared some years ago. But straining up from Guendalajara,
Speaker 20: I picked up a bullfight poster. We went to the
Speaker 20: bullfight on the wall. Now it's it's on loan. It's
Speaker 20: up on the wall of the ball restaurant. It and bulls.
Speaker 2: Goodness, oh walk a but taller going and now there's
Speaker 2: the poster still there.
Speaker 20: My daughter's quite friendly with the people out there. She'd
Speaker 20: seen it and said, oh, we'll frame that, and she
Speaker 20: offered it to It's up on the wall there, so
Speaker 20: it's they've got a lot of other everything else on
Speaker 20: the wall relating to balls there. So a bullfight poster
Speaker 20: would know.
Speaker 2: What's the what's the restaurant called Lorry.
Speaker 20: It's called ball Ball Cafe and that's what you know.
Speaker 20: I think it's so kiddy corner to the old rat
Speaker 20: hole there in and balls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's like a nighttime thing for a night
Speaker 2: and day mostly daytime.
Speaker 20: Yes, well, well I think they do evenings as well. Yeah,
Speaker 20: but start you can get a coffee there on a
Speaker 20: Saturday morning and and cerday lunches. Yes, it's moving into
Speaker 20: the market and sort of. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, we've
Speaker 20: had quite a few family occasions out there. Really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pizza, got a pizza of my locks.
Speaker 20: They the outdoor. There's an outdoor pizza set up.
Speaker 22: You know.
Speaker 20: That's really nice in the summer time.
Speaker 9: Yeah.

Speaker 2: the Lorries post. I can't see that anywhere. Lamb shed Yeah,
Speaker 2: spaghetti Keebinara.
Speaker 20: Well, he does some of his own sources there too.
Speaker 2: I think does sir Patrick's day. Where's a green wig

Speaker 2: put it that way.
Speaker 20: Okay.
Speaker 2: No, well yeah, yeah, and I think it's free. I
Speaker 2: was just found on some sort of if you've read
Speaker 2: three issues, they chat you for it, but it's just last.
Speaker 2: But they do a story every month and it's quite
Speaker 2: a good one. Got to move on, Lurry, nice to talk.
Speaker 2: Fifteen past ten. Still can't see Lorry's poster. I'd go
Speaker 2: to a place just to see Lorry's poster. They'll be
Speaker 2: quite exciting. Doesn't eveone have a wood fired pizza now?
Speaker 2: Ah goodness, We've come a long way as a country.
Speaker 2: When I just say things like generals are on the wad,
Speaker 2: Who knows what it's going to be like in ten
Speaker 2: years time when we could all be having them by
Speaker 2: a three D printer. I mean's eOne three D printing
Speaker 2: their own footwear. Yet, who knows what's going to be
Speaker 2: around in ten years time of coursh We could all
Speaker 2: go back to doctor shoals, those wooden things that were
Speaker 2: so naisy to walk around in. I think basically, when
Speaker 2: it comes to trends, it's the last thing you expect
Speaker 2: to come back comes back. That's pretty much my anthem.
Speaker 2: It's the last thing comes back comes back. But mainly
Speaker 2: I want to talk about when it was the last
Speaker 2: time you got turned away from a borrough restaurant because
Speaker 2: what you were wearing. Does that still happen? Marcus? Generals
Speaker 2: are widely worn an ossie in the US called thongs
Speaker 2: or flip flops. They'll never die off, cheers Bears. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're that well worn in the United States
Speaker 2: of America. Marcus. My granddad got kicked out of a
Speaker 2: tab and Totong of fifteen years ago for wearing jendles
Speaker 2: in the middle of summer. Archie's a well ugly also year,
Speaker 2: I agree one piece kind of strange. Do they have
Speaker 2: a high heel? They look like a high heel, kind
Speaker 2: of a gendle, Marcus. As you read about the guy
Speaker 2: charged with theft of a railway sleeper, do people realize
Speaker 2: those sleepers are soaked and diesel. That's quite a big
Speaker 2: thing over the years they're stealing of railway sleepers. It's
Speaker 2: why they're all concrete now. Croc Jandle's best ever. Hug
Speaker 2: your feet well, never get sweaty, light and comfy. I
Speaker 2: walked ten k's in mine regularly. We'll be buying a
Speaker 2: new pair for next year. As lived in Current Pa
Speaker 2: for three spring, summer and autumn, trish red band gum
Speaker 2: boots for the winter. I made a bit of a
Speaker 2: stake my red bands. I rolled the top down and
Speaker 2: then they kind of split along that line. It wasn't good, Marcus.
Speaker 2: How can Trump be sure the Saudi planers rigged out
Speaker 2: with spy cameras are rigged up with a bomb? Would
Speaker 2: you fly in at Marcus? It's actually from Qatar. It's
Speaker 2: not a Saudi one. Marcus unrelieved. Those dreadful Australian twins
Speaker 2: that got big coverage in recent weeks have disappeared. Forget
Speaker 2: ourn road cones. They were far more to Who were
Speaker 2: the Australian twins. I didn't bother with that, Yeah, the
Speaker 2: ones that spoke at the same time.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also did Suzanne Boyle get dropped from her record company.
Speaker 2: You don't know what about seven to Susan Boyle? I
Speaker 2: mean she kind of, I mean there wasn't much scope
Speaker 2: with her. She sang a couple of the classics and
Speaker 2: that was about it, wasn't it. When her moment was
Speaker 2: when they Dowdy Do down and they got her on
Speaker 2: busy good evening, Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 20: Gooday, how you doing good thing.
Speaker 18: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 19: I don't wear gendles or crops, and but I was
Speaker 19: just sitting down before having a cigarette break and I
Speaker 19: thought I could look up. I'm going to look up
Speaker 19: these gentles that I always wanted.
Speaker 18: They were a power rubber. They were gray soul, white top.
Speaker 2: It's a rated soul, like a classic old swe with
Speaker 2: a real shark's tooth, jagged soul.
Speaker 11: At the bottom.
Speaker 10: Ye.
Speaker 19: So my mother was never keen on us. But you
Speaker 19: know it was a bit raggle taggle, you know, wearing jendles.
Speaker 19: And that's just because she liked she always had her
Speaker 19: feet covered, you know, just that kind of a lady. Anyway,
Speaker 19: So I was looking into it and it's it's actually
Speaker 19: very bad to wear them for the on periods. You know,
Speaker 19: there's a really a serious lack of support. And I
Speaker 19: just you know, I was on hold up but I
Speaker 19: just heard someone say they walked ten miles in them
Speaker 19: in the jendles. It's no good crocks too.
Speaker 2: You did you buy a peer from Para ubb the
Speaker 2: originalsgg jendles? Are we just looking them up?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 18: I was able to buy them, And did you wear them? Yeah?
Speaker 18: I did.
Speaker 19: I went with the neighbor girl to cook speech, so I.
Speaker 6: Knew Mum wasn't going to seek you know, Oh this
Speaker 6: is in the day.
Speaker 19: This was about nineteen eighty eight and they were five
Speaker 19: dollars in the bargain be it was para rubber on
Speaker 19: k road well, and wore them off to the cook
Speaker 19: speech and it took takes a couple of days to
Speaker 19: get used to that thing between your toes.
Speaker 5: But it was all good.
Speaker 18: It was all good.
Speaker 19: And you know the first fella who he said, your
Speaker 19: Roman sandals are? I came with cropper my Roman sandals.
Speaker 19: I think sandals, chendles, crocs as comfortable as they might
Speaker 19: be and as easy.
Speaker 16: I don't.
Speaker 19: I don't come a cropper. I don't take four. You know,
Speaker 19: I'm not a very ethleetic sort of dancing person, but
Speaker 19: there's many times where I have to do a bit
Speaker 19: of fancy footwork.
Speaker 6: You know, I can see things coming and you know
Speaker 6: what you will go to footwear?
Speaker 19: Ah, I don't wear shoes. I don't wear shoes.
Speaker 18: I wear slippers.
Speaker 19: I have slippers, but when I go out, I wear
Speaker 19: That's what I.
Speaker 3: Have to do.
Speaker 19: I have all sorts of shoes, but I just what
Speaker 19: you do is you just put them on at the
Speaker 19: last minute.
Speaker 14: Ah, don't you think?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. Look the only thing, yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm not one to give foot advice, so
Speaker 2: I've had some terrible foot Well. The other thing that
Speaker 2: I've heard is that is you want to avoid walking
Speaker 2: long distances in boat shoes or egg boots. There's no
Speaker 2: art support and you don't want to do your feeding
Speaker 2: because long time getting them right again. That would be
Speaker 2: my take. You gotta look after your feet, look after
Speaker 2: your feet, and the fit look after themselves. Nice to
Speaker 2: hear from your betty. Keep it going. Can't say anything
Speaker 2: on the La Bulls Facebook page of Laurie's bullfighting poster,
Speaker 2: and that's interesting there he is in Gua Guadalara, Guadacaolara
Speaker 2: in the seventies with a bull fighting poster. Now it's
Speaker 2: in a bulls restaurant. God tell you what. If you're
Speaker 2: on your railway, it's not a mean feat to bring
Speaker 2: a poster back. You've got to have that in the
Speaker 2: tube for a long time in your pack. It's not easy.
Speaker 2: What a legend. I can't think of any reason to
Speaker 2: stop at bulls. I'm going to next time La bull anyway,
Speaker 2: get in touch. Hittle twelve Marcus very popular in Holland
Speaker 2: and Sweden. Are wooden clogs easy to slip into and
Speaker 2: never wear out? Well, yes, as long as no one
Speaker 2: burns them. Of course too, the English had clogs, didn't
Speaker 2: they for did the coal miners wear them? They are
Speaker 2: a different sort of a clog, the English clog. Yep,
Speaker 2: they'll be coming back. I think the English clog had
Speaker 2: a leather upper, and I think they were probably during
Speaker 2: the Industrial Revolution. Did the Luddites wear them? It's quite
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing, the British clog. I think I prefer
Speaker 2: them to the Dutch clog, although I've never seen a
Speaker 2: peer in the flesh or never worn a peer clog
Speaker 2: dancing not to be confused with Morris dancing, but noisy, Marcaus,
Speaker 2: I wonder what humans did before having nose to put
Speaker 2: on their feet. I've worn generals all my life. With that,
Speaker 2: it's a very good point. They probably didn't walk far.
Speaker 2: I don't know why our feet have failed to evolve.
Speaker 2: But have you spent your whole time barefoot? Your feet
Speaker 2: develops in a different way, Marcus. I think you're wrong.
Speaker 2: Our feet have evolved. You just have to look at
Speaker 2: the hobbits Margaret. Yes, but why did we stilly develop
Speaker 2: a need for support? And what's happened to our lifestyle
Speaker 2: that we demand that. I don't like the Swan drie jendles,
Speaker 2: and I don't like the red band jendles. Presume they're
Speaker 2: all made overseas?
Speaker 4: Are they?
Speaker 2: Or I mentioned so? By the way, we got offered
Speaker 2: via email a fundraiser today for cheap butter two fifty
Speaker 2: for two hundred and fifty grams. So you know that's
Speaker 2: problem with butter. When this is actually a fundraiser to
Speaker 2: sell cheap butter. It's quite excited by it. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I'm telling you that. Oh, Louise, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 7: Hi Marc.
Speaker 6: Are you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you? Louise? Pretty good? Thank you?
Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 18: Okay, yeah. Feat Jendles scandals. Well, I've grew up in handles,
Speaker 18: and most of the twenties probably in jandles. But now
Speaker 18: I have to wear all sussacks.
Speaker 2: So you know, what can you do where your feet
Speaker 2: shot the arch or the front or the bed. What
Speaker 2: goes bad with people's feet?
Speaker 18: I've got rheumatis.
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I don't know too much about that. I
Speaker 2: I don't know too much about that.
Speaker 18: Oh my toes no longer hit the ground, and I've
Speaker 18: got lumps and bumps and all sorts of miss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not because you wore jendles.
Speaker 12: Is it.
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 18: No, no, my feet did spread and they're very, very wide.
Speaker 18: I don't think I've ever seen a woman with wide
Speaker 18: feet than mine. Wow, your feet keep growing, you know, what, Yes,
Speaker 18: your feet and you know keep.
Speaker 2: Grow sideways or forward ways.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know, but that's horrified to
Speaker 5: think of.
Speaker 22: True And yes, oh they.
Speaker 18: Oh yes, I've always said that I've got I was
Speaker 18: given men's feet because of the size. Is because since
Speaker 18: I was twelve, tried to get shoes and the shoe
Speaker 18: shops and being told you have elephants feet, go to
Speaker 18: the men's department and I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2: So what would you end up wearing?
Speaker 18: Well, in the seven piece, it was quite a few
Speaker 18: biggest shoes with the platform shoes and stuff that wasn't
Speaker 18: so much for a problem. But as soon as the
Speaker 18: shoes became important from Asia, hopeless. Yeah, but I must
Speaker 18: say wear House. My daughter took me to wear House
Speaker 18: a couple of weeks ago and I needed some new
Speaker 18: slog as. I said, there's no way off and she said, well,
Speaker 18: I just try, you know, And I managed to get
Speaker 18: a pair of flippers.
Speaker 7: To fit me well first time.
Speaker 18: I don't know X amount of years. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 18: miracle importing them from America, a Bloodhold warehouse.
Speaker 2: The Christmas is a Christmas miracle, isn't it.
Speaker 18: Yes, I know, because you know, I can go through
Speaker 18: a whole a whole shop size twelves and not one
Speaker 18: of them will fit me, or if one peer fits me.
Speaker 18: Is the ugliest shoes.
Speaker 2: And to get to get them wide enough, to have
Speaker 2: to get them too long, yes.
Speaker 18: Yeah, they always flip it back and yeah, but now
Speaker 18: I've got more sassacs. So go to the Soosacs center
Speaker 18: and they've got me these. My fetisides just looks huge
Speaker 18: and ever. I must say the sandals actually aren't that bad.
Speaker 18: But I have to wear the same shoes all the
Speaker 18: time in winter, the same in the summer.
Speaker 2: But you know do you have to do? You have
Speaker 2: to wear bright stripes and stuff? Did I food attention
Speaker 2: away from your feet?
Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 18: And thinking my hair and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: You what what I am? Burden? I never thought of
Speaker 2: that someone was wearing ribbons in the hair. Have got
Speaker 2: giant feet, I'll start looking looking differently now there we go.
Speaker 18: You don't man, look at your feet? They yes, And
Speaker 18: I've got big hands to my deformed hands. And my daughter,
Speaker 18: and my older daughter has the most beautiful, narrow, beautiful feet.
Speaker 18: He has absolutely she has the most beautiful hands as well.
Speaker 18: And I think you could be a handlong goin to
Speaker 18: fly somebody. She's just uncanny. She's any child I've ever
Speaker 18: seen who had shaped the legs. Wow, just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: You know, I often hear about hand models, but I
Speaker 2: do wonder how much work there is for them.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But people are
Speaker 18: put in their feet online. So because the people with foot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's yeah, Well that's a different kitdler
Speaker 2: fish that one.
Speaker 18: Yes, But shoes, you know, I don't think human feet
Speaker 18: were made to wear shoes. I think back in caveman
Speaker 18: days we would run around and be a foot. There's
Speaker 18: still people out there wear better feet all the time.
Speaker 2: In the trouble with a strangely shaped foot, there's not
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like you can do much about it,
Speaker 2: is there. You're stuck with it.
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, I've got to have an operation on my feet.
Speaker 2: But before the rumor toy, they were total pedals, weren't they?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 18: Absolutely?
Speaker 9: Both?
Speaker 18: Yeah, and I'm not kidding. That was that he fails
Speaker 18: with telling a twelve year old girl she had elephant's feet.
Speaker 2: I've never known someone that can speak so honestly about
Speaker 2: their giant feet. What else can you do so after
Speaker 2: the seventies and those giant cloggy things. Could you find
Speaker 2: a high heel or was it just no show? Nothing? Fine?
Speaker 18: No, I haven't worn high heels for the years. Probably
Speaker 18: can't have got a stuff back as well, so but
Speaker 18: you know I make up for it a dress well
Speaker 18: and take care of the rest of the so, you know,
Speaker 18: take your tas away from my feet hopefully.
Speaker 2: What about the door? What about the daughter coming through
Speaker 2: with the feet and the hens?
Speaker 18: Beautiful? Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Does she know it?
Speaker 18: Yes, yes she does. I told her and William dance
Speaker 18: and shape the leaves when she was a child. Is
Speaker 18: a toddler, yeah, unbelievable that she's put on a lot
Speaker 18: of weight. Now we've got some medications he has to take.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, still got chapely hands.
Speaker 18: Oh yes, gorgeously and absolutely I don't know where she
Speaker 18: got them from.
Speaker 2: Goodness, father's side must be Louise. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that muchly twenty two to eleven. My family
Speaker 2: origins are Welsh coal one, as they wore wooden clogs
Speaker 2: down the mine, and we're clog dancers too, Marcus. The
Speaker 2: latest currency for fundraising is you buy butter and bulk
Speaker 2: from costcos, take it home and cover of that, wrap
Speaker 2: it up and sell tickets one to forty. Whoever strikes
Speaker 2: the button's namby the see Loto draw only is the
Speaker 2: winner of whatever amount of butter is the price. It's
Speaker 2: what we've come agricultural nation. That's what it comes. We're
Speaker 2: actually following a lot of numbers to win butter so
Speaker 2: we can have baking. What an appalling state of affairs.
Speaker 2: Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome Hentel twelve.
Speaker 2: Not think they've ever would have noticed people with the
Speaker 2: giant I don't. I still think it's something I look
Speaker 2: for as people's giant feet. Maybe we're not all out
Speaker 2: there looking at your giant feet, though, I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: not saying that you know it's your journey. You've walked
Speaker 2: in those feet, That's that's not the right expression. But
Speaker 2: if you walk in your feet or something. Mark is
Speaker 2: the best general of the Surfi style beach Cooma heavy
Speaker 2: Judy rubber. They are two time blue and black. They
Speaker 2: around in inch wider than you've fought, very strong, comfy.
Speaker 2: After a few months that l asked for five years
Speaker 2: wearing them daily. Twenty dollars at number one your warehouse
Speaker 2: used to wear them on my cow suck at Eve
Speaker 2: one hundred for years and the kitchens this year for decades.
Speaker 2: My feet do move quickly, though, that's stev. I think
Speaker 2: I can visualize those beach Comba Jendle. By the way,
Speaker 2: when did number one shoe warehouse combined with Hennahs and
Speaker 2: which way did the money flow? Anyone could talk to
Speaker 2: me about that. Also a little bit of talk about
Speaker 2: the freedom cambers. I thought Queenstown had banned them years ago.
Speaker 2: So I'm surprised to see that men's Jendles shop the
Speaker 2: latest number one shoes. Not a Venus Bullfong. It's a
Speaker 2: strange name, isn't it. Venus ball Thong, not a mambo
Speaker 2: will am i thong. I can't actually see them. Cheapest
Speaker 2: creepers some pretty extreme brands. I can't literally I can't
Speaker 2: actually see those anyway, our surfer thong surf zone is
Speaker 2: that them? Quite like those? I think they're the ones
Speaker 2: you mean, actually they're kind of fine at the front
Speaker 2: and the back. Hey, but if you're to talk on
Speaker 2: air people seventeen to eleven Marcus just tuned in, so
Speaker 2: sorry if this is not part of the butter topic.
Speaker 2: I've just purchased electric butter heater to try and save money.
Speaker 2: My husband only likes spreadable butter and usually buy that,
Speaker 2: which is now about fifteen dollars for a five hundred
Speaker 2: grand punnet. The electric heater means we have spreadable butter
Speaker 2: all the time, we can use cheaper butter. That sounds
Speaker 2: like a temu type thing. Is it a butter heater?
Speaker 2: Just be a bold wouldn't it? Just good evening, Marcus.
Speaker 2: Welcome evening, Marcus.
Speaker 23: Just just from PERCYA heat just.
Speaker 2: Good, good, good, good good. How those how the how
Speaker 2: the Freemantle dock is going?
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 23: Oh look I don't I don't actually.
Speaker 2: Know, Okay, I just I just got to watch them
Speaker 2: the other night and cut the magpies were there and
Speaker 2: they had they went quite well against my other Oh
Speaker 2: well there might be a team to watch. But anyway, okay, yep, yep,
Speaker 2: no good.
Speaker 23: You're what time do you watch the replays?
Speaker 9: Do you?
Speaker 23: Or do you watch it on the weekend?
Speaker 20: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I do watch it.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I'll tell you what. Sometimes it's I've got
Speaker 2: a camera, I've got a TV in the studio, and
Speaker 2: it seems as though Sky Sports got no sport to
Speaker 2: play during the week. Yeah, so they replay that. But
Speaker 2: I reckon I could diverse quite Yeah, I could watch it.
Speaker 2: I mean it's not an unpleasant watch Ossie rules. I
Speaker 2: find that I can actually get hooked on it. I
Speaker 2: quite like it.
Speaker 23: Yeah, it's like scrag. Remember I remember back in high
Speaker 23: school it was creg and no one's really teaming up.
Speaker 23: It's kind of just all on one.
Speaker 2: It's not like that, and sometimes it looks very inelegant
Speaker 2: and very uncoordinated. But other times they can go the
Speaker 2: length of the field and it's like poetry. But doesn't
Speaker 2: happen that often.
Speaker 23: And that probably liked metaphor in this somewhere Roman Sandals,
Speaker 23: I wanted to call you, and I just have memories
Speaker 23: of standing on the back of Roman sandals, going to
Speaker 23: Otomoti College and getting told off and getting absolutely scorned
Speaker 23: by your parents for standing on the back of the sandals.
Speaker 2: Oh so you were wearing them as a jendle? Were
Speaker 2: you you down down played the whole back? But is
Speaker 2: that what you did?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 23: It was kind of the cool thing to do, right,
Speaker 23: you stand on the back of the jendle. Maybe wear
Speaker 23: some socks but they were just ruining the sandals.
Speaker 2: So how did you do that? So when you miss
Speaker 2: stand on the back, what does that mean?
Speaker 23: Yeah, well you know how you've got normally you've got
Speaker 23: the jendle part at the back, yes, and you just
Speaker 23: put your shoe put. It's hard to explain, but you
Speaker 23: basically you're just standing on that strap. Yes, you so
Speaker 23: you get the strap over the top, but you can
Speaker 23: see your heel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're just wearing it more like a gendle
Speaker 2: with just your feet in the toe bit. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a good way to do it, because sometimes you can
Speaker 2: cut that whole bit, but sometimes you can cut the
Speaker 2: whole back but off.
Speaker 23: And you think about the parents having to fork the money.
Speaker 4: Out of the that.
Speaker 2: I mean, we all have kids evens out in the
Speaker 2: long run, doesn't it. But you don't. I don't think
Speaker 2: they wear those anymore. I think the whole they seem
Speaker 2: to know what happened to them. I guess the Japanese
Speaker 2: the cheap imports came in and they couldn't compete with
Speaker 2: the local manufacture because they were made locally.
Speaker 23: Ah well maybe, well, I don't think kids won't be
Speaker 23: allowed to wear crocs the school will they, but they.
Speaker 7: Probably want to.
Speaker 2: I think they can unless the school's got a uniform code,
Speaker 2: and then they probably I don't know what they wear.
Speaker 23: Well, probably a lot more relaxed back home than it
Speaker 23: is over here. The kids are very prim and proper
Speaker 23: in their uniforms over here. Yeah, really too much.
Speaker 2: The climate would really it's a bit funny Australian schools. Well,
Speaker 2: they like so in Western Australia, even in that heat,
Speaker 2: they were in blazers.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
Speaker 23: Well, my son, like he had the year twelve jacket
Speaker 23: and it was like the cool thing to leave their
Speaker 23: jacketing on.
Speaker 2: Hang on, we don't say year twelve.
Speaker 11: What's that like?
Speaker 2: Form six?
Speaker 7: Oh once a year twelve?
Speaker 23: Yeah yeah, forms form six yeah, form yes, Now you've
Speaker 23: got me confused. Back back end of high school yep.
Speaker 23: But my son and that, like he would go he
Speaker 23: would go to school with his lever's jacket and they
Speaker 23: would be keeping the jackets on and forty degree whether
Speaker 23: because of the wall the kids thought it was cool
Speaker 23: to have their jackets on.
Speaker 2: And he's wearing a shoes and tie in a long pantasy.
Speaker 23: Yeah well shorts yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, just like that on summer height side did.
Speaker 23: They mate, what about Shortland Streets.
Speaker 2: Three nights a week won't be back next year? That's
Speaker 2: my picture's gone. But you shouldn't. You shouldn't say it's
Speaker 2: gone because they had thirty years. So they've gone for
Speaker 2: they've gone and people don't think it last for a.
Speaker 22: Week and why why have they?
Speaker 23: I didn't actually know that news. The funny thing is
Speaker 23: me and the for watching reruns.
Speaker 2: They haven't announced it, but with a woman who's in
Speaker 2: charge of it. She's gone and got a job at
Speaker 2: casualty in the UK. And now they're saying, I think
Speaker 2: you look at the budgets and stuff like that. It's
Speaker 2: not signed off for next year, so obviously they've got
Speaker 2: to sort this that might come along for tour. But yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, if you've gone from five days
Speaker 2: to three days, it's because no one's watching free I
Speaker 2: mean that they are watching Free to Wear TV. But
Speaker 2: it's just not the advertising or the money on it.
Speaker 2: It's just so I mean TV. Local TV production is
Speaker 2: really tough anyway, and when you see how big those
Speaker 2: crews are, like Shortened Street.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 23: You would have you have you thought of doing a
Speaker 23: podcast at all? Marcus, you'd be amazing doing your own podcast?
Speaker 2: Why would I do it? I mean it's a good question.
Speaker 2: Would you do a podcast because it's interesting or would
Speaker 2: you do it to make money?
Speaker 23: Dam yeah, I think anything artsy, right, you've got to
Speaker 23: launch without doing it for the money. But Doggie's it's
Speaker 23: got to make sense. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's a nice thought. I just don't know how enjoyable
Speaker 2: it would be. But you watch this space just I've
Speaker 2: going to run for commercials. I've seen them a bit behind.
Speaker 2: But thank you lovely to talk Jess regards just sadding
Speaker 2: that hot blazer Marcus. The most comfortable shoes I've ever
Speaker 2: worn are with negative heels. If ever Crocs or others
Speaker 2: start making them, I'll be living in them. I don't
Speaker 2: know what a negative heel is, but I think I
Speaker 2: can imagine the nose and ears keep growing. It seems
Speaker 2: unfair as mine with Giant to begin with Marcus, I
Speaker 2: brought my first pair of Archies. I love them. They
Speaker 2: are so comfortable. Gillian Good Evening, I worked in the
Speaker 2: Hot and Cold bar at the Darwin Hotel early seventies.
Speaker 2: Hippies queued up at the door. Sign said no bear
Speaker 2: feet one hippie would come and wearing jandles get his bear,
Speaker 2: then returned to the queue and give us generals to
Speaker 2: the next in the Q. The generals were all to
Speaker 2: go and Darwin cheers. Priscilla.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Don't think I fully understood that Darwin was a happy town.
Speaker 2: I suppose it was handy to Asia, handy for the trade.
Speaker 2: Am I right? Anyway? Get in touch eleven. I wait,
Speaker 2: Marcus till twelve. I want to know about the situations
Speaker 2: you've had recently. As far as dress codes is anywhere,
Speaker 2: are there still enforcing dress codes apart from the casino
Speaker 2: rather than the casino? I don't know. I imagine the
Speaker 2: casino they pretty much dit you and wearing anything, wouldn't
Speaker 2: they these days? They want your money. That'd be my take.
Speaker 2: Good evening, Susie, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 22: Well you're a Marcus Oven's rung up for a long time,
Speaker 22: so nice to hear you. And yeah, I've been a
Speaker 22: bit busy. So I wanted to talk about Darwin because
Speaker 22: I was interested in your story because I was there
Speaker 22: in the mid eighties, sure, and it was a fabulous place,
Speaker 22: and it was the first time I realized that there
Speaker 22: was saltwater crocodiles. We had a little gig going where
Speaker 22: we had this little flat and we'd walk up along
Speaker 22: the beach and we had the side door. We get
Speaker 22: in to the Darwin Casino and I'll get dressed up
Speaker 22: and the boys would go. And we had no money,
Speaker 22: and we used to sit on the You could walk
Speaker 22: in beside the pool and we'd just say we belonged
Speaker 22: to some room, this nominated room, get free cocktails, then
Speaker 22: go and I was like the person that could judge
Speaker 22: who was winning, and we'd get money and we'd take
Speaker 22: off anyhow. But when you went to a pub there,
Speaker 22: it was the first time I'd seen a bar like
Speaker 22: the Blues Brothers where they actually had a cage around
Speaker 22: the band and people did throw bottles at them when
Speaker 22: they went playing well. And the fifth time I was
Speaker 22: in a bar where if you look slightly wasted or
Speaker 22: fell asleep, the bouncers would just pick you up and
Speaker 22: throw you down the stairs or throw you out the door.
Speaker 22: I'll never forget it. And the other thing was I
Speaker 22: noticed that there was hardly anyone under forty.
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, how come.
Speaker 16: Too hot?
Speaker 22: I couldn't cope with the heat.
Speaker 2: You had young people don't like the heat.
Speaker 22: No, no, old people don't like that.
Speaker 2: Oh I see, I see, I see. There was no
Speaker 2: one over forty Yeah, I see what you're saying, thank you.
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there was hardly anyone over forty and yeah.
Speaker 22: And we we had some great friends with some Aboriginals
Speaker 22: that took us on a trip to anum Land, which
Speaker 22: was in those days really precious to get invited there
Speaker 22: because they didn't want any white man going. And we
Speaker 22: witnessed them when they took the kids when they were
Speaker 22: about thirteen, out into the wilderness and then they came
Speaker 22: back and all us women we burned all the blue
Speaker 22: gum and this big pit and they had to go
Speaker 22: across this greasy pole over this burning pit of blue
Speaker 22: gums and whatnot, and then they got to the end
Speaker 22: and then they got covered in the choice of their
Speaker 22: animal depending on And it was about spirituality and all
Speaker 22: that sort of shit. And I remember at the time
Speaker 22: they were having problems with people from New South Wales
Speaker 22: saying it was cruel and nish and do it that
Speaker 22: these kids have been practicing it since they could walk,
Speaker 22: so they were quite a debt. Yeah, I'll never forget.
Speaker 2: What were you doing there.
Speaker 22: I was living there and working there. I worked at
Speaker 22: an illegal Greek casino where I had to make Greek
Speaker 22: coffees and where it was like a men's long white
Speaker 22: shirt with fish neat stocking and high heels and your belt,
Speaker 22: you know, sort of around your hips and you got
Speaker 22: paid and chips and stuff like that. Yeah. And my
Speaker 22: other girlfriend, she was an English girl. She's to go
Speaker 22: out on the pawn boats and go fishing, but she
Speaker 22: had to go topless. And but yeah, he made good money.
Speaker 2: Was that her condition of employment that she had to
Speaker 2: work topless on the prawn boat?
Speaker 22: Well, it wasn't a conditions, but it was sort of
Speaker 22: an unsed thing.
Speaker 2: I never do nothing and towards no.
Speaker 22: Yeah, you just went topless. And we were all young.
Speaker 22: We didn't think anything.
Speaker 6: Of it, you know.
Speaker 2: And where I mean, where was the illegal Greek casino?
Speaker 2: Was it just in some old warehouse or something?
Speaker 22: Oh, it was in the It was in Darwin. It
Speaker 22: was like a suburb of Darwan.
Speaker 2: It wasn't How did they keep how did they keep
Speaker 2: it away from the police. How was it disguised?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 22: I have no idea about that.
Speaker 2: But it did the police raid it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 22: Not well and we had to cook pork. I remember
Speaker 22: that because we had to cook the port different to
Speaker 22: us how use kiwis cook it. They liked their pork
Speaker 22: cooked and lots of oil and with the crackling, well,
Speaker 22: they didn't have crackling very soft, you know, it had
Speaker 22: to be very soft. And that you'd served them and
Speaker 22: make their Greek coffee, you know, bubble it up on
Speaker 22: the stove and the little dismo you know, and go
Speaker 22: out in the little little cups and saucers and depending
Speaker 22: whether they liked or not that you went paid in money.
Speaker 22: You got paid in chips and then you'd have to
Speaker 22: cash it out when you went out the door. It
Speaker 22: was very sopranos is quite lucrative for you. Oh absolutely,
Speaker 22: what do you think we did it? Sometimes you'd start
Speaker 22: I'd start it four o'clock in the afternoon, but sometimes
Speaker 22: the game of cards wouldn't start till like free in
Speaker 22: the morning. But you always had to have the pork
Speaker 22: going and the Greek coffee is going. They didn't drink alcohol.
Speaker 22: That was a funny thing. They just drank great coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know what game they were?
Speaker 22: I could never and I was a cad player like
Speaker 22: I could play like Massa five hundred and Yuka and
Speaker 22: all that sort of stuff Kiwi stuff that I could.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 22: It was kind of like Jim Rummy. I could never
Speaker 22: figure it out. But then and then I left. I
Speaker 22: got pregnant actually to my boyfriend so tailored. I ended
Speaker 22: up going from the back to Sydney, and then he
Speaker 22: ended up coming back to New Zealand. But Priscius and
Speaker 22: wonderful memories in my life, and and the boys they
Speaker 22: used to go to a pawn in strip show for Freemar.
Speaker 22: I'll never forget then.
Speaker 2: And you still in touch? Are you still in touch
Speaker 2: with your friend from the prawn Boat?
Speaker 18: Ah?
Speaker 22: Yes, yes they've moved on. One of them still still
Speaker 22: as in Northern Territory and works with crocodiles at a
Speaker 22: crocodile farm. So there you go.
Speaker 2: Great stories, Susie, Thank you very much. I always loved
Speaker 2: I love dar. I'm fortunate enough to spend some time there,
Speaker 2: probably early nineties, and I thought it was fantastic, unbelievable place,
Speaker 2: still got a bit of the wild westfield to it. Evening, Brendan, welcome,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus here.
Speaker 7: Good evening, Yeah, good evening, mate, how's it going wrong.
Speaker 2: Good well good real good good good good.
Speaker 24: So I I I was listening to Susan and she
Speaker 24: mentioned the illegal Greek so you know, and it turns
Speaker 24: out that I had one of the main participants living
Speaker 24: in a house that I owned in Australia, and so
Speaker 24: I'm hoping she's listening. His name Andrew Zuglio. I think
Speaker 24: that you know how Greek names are. But yeah, they
Speaker 24: were just right into the gambling and right into the cash,
Speaker 24: and yeah, well behaved and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 9: But yeah, it was a big thing up.
Speaker 2: There was there a big Greek community in Darwin.
Speaker 24: I don't think it was that big, but they certainly
Speaker 24: you stuck together, and you know, not everybody could go there.
Speaker 24: It was sort of like a well, Susan's probably confirmed this,
Speaker 24: but the impression I got with maybe forty or fifty
Speaker 24: people at the most. And yeah, so yeah, interesting little
Speaker 24: part of history. I don't know if it's still going on.
Speaker 24: Andrew's no longer with us.
Speaker 2: But so, were were you in Darwin?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, they came from Darwin, oh I see,
Speaker 3: and his wife was Coral and they ended up down
Speaker 3: in my place in Kangaroo Valley in New South Wales
Speaker 3: and he was the next plumber.
Speaker 24: And it's a good bloke. And but yeah, they just
Speaker 24: that's what they used to do. I don't know if
Speaker 24: they did every night, but they were certainly keen on it.
Speaker 2: Do they run the casino at your place as well?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, only up in Darwin, Darwin?
Speaker 18: What were you doing?
Speaker 2: What were you doing in Kangaroo Valley?
Speaker 24: I've got a place, tore Marcus Well, I like, how
Speaker 24: do you? Yeah, yeah, well it's still not paid off you.
Speaker 22: I'm working on it.
Speaker 8: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you calling from the valley?
Speaker 5: No, No, I'm here at the moment.
Speaker 24: I work out a walk in the airport and but
Speaker 24: I am going to be moving back there. Do you
Speaker 24: know the place?
Speaker 2: It's there, Wollongong, is it?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 24: Yes, between Wollongong and Now it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know that well, but I kind of, yeah,
Speaker 2: I kind of like all the.
Speaker 24: Coast of the New South Wales, south coast of New
Speaker 24: South Wales is magnificent.
Speaker 2: And I agree.
Speaker 24: The valley is not on the coast, but it's it's
Speaker 24: surrounded by scarpments and it's just it's just a lovely
Speaker 24: place to live. And so his his widow if you like,
Speaker 24: she's still there and I don't think she's planning to
Speaker 24: move in a hurry. And yeah, so Andrew good blake
Speaker 24: and shame he's not here anymore.
Speaker 6: And yeah, so interesting, Susan.
Speaker 2: Is there many people living in Kangaroo Valley now?
Speaker 24: I think about two and a half thousand people live
Speaker 24: there full time and a lot of Sydney Sydney people
Speaker 24: and Camera people have you know, weekends there and holiday homes,
Speaker 24: and there's wedding venues and you know, fights and galas
Speaker 24: and folk festivals and so there's a lot of influx
Speaker 24: of people, you know, come in from time to time.
Speaker 24: And yeah, it's a great spot.
Speaker 2: How long would it three hours drive from Sydney? Is
Speaker 2: it a bit longer?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 24: No, to Sydney Airport to my front door is two
Speaker 24: hours at at a leisurely paced.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's close. And you've got land and.
Speaker 24: Yeah, five acres down there, five acres in a big house.
Speaker 24: So yeah, and it's about the same amount of I'm
Speaker 24: from Canberra as well, so it sort of captures those
Speaker 24: both both of those markets.
Speaker 2: So yeah, oh, because Camera's quite close. I was watching
Speaker 2: the rugby league in the weekend. I saw those guys
Speaker 2: that had gone from the Bulldogs up to Canberra to
Speaker 2: give them a hiding, and they see it's quite a
Speaker 2: big there's quite a big crowd. So I guess it's
Speaker 2: not you get up and back in a day for
Speaker 2: a game of league, would jou guess you can?
Speaker 24: Oh absolutely if you stick on the hum Highway Canbras
Speaker 24: from Sydney to Canberra is probably three and.
Speaker 9: A half something like that.
Speaker 24: But yeah, so we're about halfway. The other interesting thing is,
Speaker 24: I don't know if you remember the massive fire that
Speaker 24: they had in New Cell, Wales about three years ago,
Speaker 24: three four years ago, three years ago I think it was.
Speaker 24: It came through the valley and it took out about
Speaker 24: twenty houses because it was just you know, out of control.
Speaker 24: But it's all being rebuilt. But Troubles is very hard
Speaker 24: to get plumbers and electricians and irrigation people and fences
Speaker 24: because they're all flat stick trying to rebuild the place, you.
Speaker 2: Know, and you'd feel there won't be far for a
Speaker 2: long time now because all that waste burned out.
Speaker 24: Yes, yeah, I think so, I think so.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 24: Are you still living in bluff yep?
Speaker 2: How was it down there right, doesn't change much to
Speaker 2: whether it was the weather was shocking today, was it?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I was that I had I was with my boys school,
Speaker 2: you know, they wanted to teachers help us speak the
Speaker 2: day in town with his class and they're out sort
Speaker 2: of doing like history walks around town.
Speaker 18: And it was.
Speaker 2: In Vago. Yeah. Yeah, he's in school in Vicago now
Speaker 2: because intermediate school. But it was just it was bitter.
Speaker 2: It was the first because the sum has been pretty good,
Speaker 2: but today was just you know, and it was hard
Speaker 2: to say, well, it was just and we had to
Speaker 2: sort of lunch outside because it was sort of it
Speaker 2: was planned for a warmer day, but it was. Honestly
Speaker 2: it was. But anyway, that's the way it is. There's
Speaker 2: good days and there's bad days.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 24: Yeah, that's right. You got to you've gotta be tough
Speaker 24: to live down there markets.
Speaker 2: That's tough. Brenda, I nice to hear, thank you. Although
Speaker 2: the Kangaroo Valley sounds good in a daylight to that
Speaker 2: twenty five Passna eleven regarding dress coling, anything goes now
Speaker 2: providing neat and tidy. But I agree with your females
Speaker 2: walking around supermarkets and more than pajamas well, I think
Speaker 2: it's not just female. I think it's everyone. What I
Speaker 2: think now is people work from home. A lot of
Speaker 2: people just don't get dressed. I hope they get up,
Speaker 2: put on their hoodies, lounge around, go to the I
Speaker 2: think that's what they wear now. Pajamas day and night
Speaker 2: seems slightly sketchy to me, Marcus. In those days I
Speaker 2: went in the clubs was busy, so cues were common.
Speaker 2: The no hoodie rule made from unpleasant night in the
Speaker 2: wind and cold. Well, that's right, there was the no hoodies,
Speaker 2: wasn't there? There was a mall in the Kapiti coast
Speaker 2: that had a no hoodies rule, which ridiculous. Everyone wears
Speaker 2: what he is. I don't ne never like hoodies. If
Speaker 2: every riding a bike you turn around to look behind
Speaker 2: you and just see the beck of the back of
Speaker 2: the hood Marcus, Newtown, Sydney. We took our flathouse dog
Speaker 2: to the pubs and we sat outside with the boundies
Speaker 2: until we all left. Would occasionally pop out to make
Speaker 2: sure they're When I worries, they would give us the
Speaker 2: thumbs up and thanks us for giving them. Another dog
Speaker 2: on the door. Just a friendly welcome in and out.
Speaker 2: And all that's needed was never trouble at those doors,
Speaker 2: just great caring and laughter. But if a nassy theme
Speaker 2: coming in about door people, I'm enjoying this. Get in touch.
Speaker 2: If you want to talk or read to this. There's
Speaker 2: something different you want to mention. Good hit till twelve,
Speaker 2: but a Darwin discussion. Darwin is fabulous as the lady
Speaker 2: who rang about it. No words. Thanks for that. Now,
Speaker 2: Laurie's finally found a picture of his bull fighting poster,
Speaker 2: which is great. Wow, there you go. It's not quite
Speaker 2: as big as I thought it was. I mentioned he
Speaker 2: was going around here with his giant poster. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what one thing I like about bulls right is
Speaker 2: they've stuck with that. There was one joke the town
Speaker 2: could have and that was puns on bulls and everything
Speaker 2: bull rated. But they've really gone with that, and good
Speaker 2: on them. They're really Yeah, they've shown consistency, which I'm
Speaker 2: quite happy about. You can see the rat hole by
Speaker 2: the way. That's the pap across the road twenty nine
Speaker 2: past eleven. If you want to be a part of
Speaker 2: the show, welcome. We're talking Darwin. Of course, Darwin got
Speaker 2: bombed in that World War two. Is that right? They
Speaker 2: thought they were the AUSSI planes coming home, but the
Speaker 2: Japanese bombed them. So what they're quite famous about in
Speaker 2: Darwin getting bombed, I don't know what. The population of
Speaker 2: Darwin big also too, so many Kiwis went there for
Speaker 2: Cyclone Tracy, and all the roofs needed to be replaced.
Speaker 2: And what was interesting was there was one place and
Speaker 2: the only thing that was left after the cyclone was
Speaker 2: the hills Hoist. It's still small, it's only Hamilton's size
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty nine thoy nine hundred and two.
Speaker 2: Half the people in the Northern Territory live in Darwin, smallest,
Speaker 2: wettest and the most northerly of the Australian capital cities. Yep,
Speaker 2: there you go. I don't think they I don't think
Speaker 2: the prawn boat the big deal like they once where.
Speaker 2: I think the people get their prawns elsewhere. Now it
Speaker 2: was one of the great Kiwi Owe things to do
Speaker 2: is go prawn hunting, fishing or prawning. Good evening, Neil,
Speaker 2: this is Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.
Speaker 6: I found you afore about Darwin. I just had you
Speaker 6: saying about Darwin and you live there. You said in
Speaker 6: the early nineties, I'd.
Speaker 2: Been, I'd stayed there. I didn't live there. It was
Speaker 2: just a break, spent a bit of time there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 6: There was a bit of a wild town. I was
Speaker 6: there in the eighties and oh my goodness. They used
Speaker 6: to always remember they used to have a pub most
Speaker 6: people used to go to the weekend and it was
Speaker 6: called Rage in the Cage. I can't even remember the
Speaker 6: name of the pub. And it was a big cage
Speaker 6: where you just went inside and they played headbanging music
Speaker 6: and everybody just used to get drunk vomit, and then
Speaker 6: they loved it. They thought that was great.
Speaker 11: It was.
Speaker 6: It was a bit of a wild town in those days.
Speaker 2: Where was the Where was the money from? Was it
Speaker 2: fishing money or was it I suppose mining money? Was it?
Speaker 6: Yep, mining fishing money. There was a lot of money there.
Speaker 6: I mean the amount of girls on the game up
Speaker 6: there was unbelievable, you know that they he just saw
Speaker 6: them everywhere to the casino. Even my girlfriend knew just
Speaker 6: a couple.
Speaker 10: You know what I mean.
Speaker 18: It was.
Speaker 6: Not for the course at that point. He said, was
Speaker 6: a bit of a wildtown.
Speaker 2: What was interesting about the takes that said all the
Speaker 2: hill piece there was. It quite a big hippie town
Speaker 2: with people on the drag trail after Raisier. Is it
Speaker 2: what how it or was it too late for it?
Speaker 20: Then?
Speaker 2: When you were there, I think I.
Speaker 6: Think there might have been some of that there. I
Speaker 6: remember there was a Kiwi guy and he was a
Speaker 6: bit of a hippy and they lived in the street.
Speaker 6: I don't even remember his name now, but I remember
Speaker 6: he used to always see him and about turn and
Speaker 6: he used to just live on the street and all
Speaker 6: the girls used to love him. They used to look
Speaker 6: after them and give them food and money.
Speaker 10: And things like that.
Speaker 6: But you know, they almost remember him being there.
Speaker 14: Yeah you were.
Speaker 2: You were at the casino, wuldn't you?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 6: I was at the Middle Beach casino that was legal
Speaker 6: casino the time, and that that was that that could
Speaker 6: be quite a wild turn as well. A friend of mine,
Speaker 6: he's he caused a huge riot in the place he was.
Speaker 6: He was a dealer, a dealer then the two up ring.
Speaker 6: You know they they toss the coins up, yes, and
Speaker 6: I don't think they trained them right. It was pretty
Speaker 6: new and they said, look, whatever you do, make a
Speaker 6: decision don't hesitate, And it was like it was like
Speaker 6: a public fology. One of those nights w everybody had
Speaker 6: come in and all the guys were in the drunk
Speaker 6: and everything, and it goes out and Brendon goes bad art,
Speaker 6: not bad art, bang the coin set. So fifty percent said, yeah,
Speaker 6: roll it with one, and fifty percent said, now you haven't,
Speaker 6: but you said bad. So this argument went on and
Speaker 6: the next thing, oh, the whole place erupted and everybody
Speaker 6: was punching over It was like a Hollywood movie, you
Speaker 6: know that everybody was punching everyone and he's just started us, right,
Speaker 6: and I think I had to close the place down
Speaker 6: for the rest of the night. And it was just
Speaker 6: because he hesitated and didn't say. You know, obviously the
Speaker 6: guys some that had lost, some that had won, and
Speaker 6: that was I mean, it was it was a fair
Speaker 6: and I mean he was still new at the time,
Speaker 6: I think, you know, but oh god, it was a
Speaker 6: hell of Amester cops and everything down.
Speaker 2: Was it was it a big cas Was it a
Speaker 2: lucrative casino? Didn't carried day?
Speaker 7: Is it right?
Speaker 6: It wasn't its day. There wasn't a big casino by
Speaker 6: Moderness during casino standards. I think when I was there,
Speaker 6: it might have had about twenty hunn. I think I
Speaker 6: think the VIP and it might have been about twenty
Speaker 6: eight rooms or at tables or something like that. I
Speaker 6: remember Packer came one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was saying that he bankrupted it or they
Speaker 2: had to pay out or something.
Speaker 6: Didn't they there was some big asi. But the manager
Speaker 6: was an idiot. I mean he should have realized you
Speaker 6: know that and stopped the action. You know, I would
Speaker 6: just say sorry, I can't. You know, I've managed casinos
Speaker 6: overseas and things, and if you can't, if you can't,
Speaker 6: if you know you're getting in a position where you
Speaker 6: it's gonna, it's gonna you're going to take a huge hit,
Speaker 6: you just say sorry, you know I have to close now.
Speaker 6: Came out with you own them and that's it, you know.
Speaker 6: But he they should have stopped the game, but he
Speaker 6: just let.
Speaker 2: It go and let it go and let it go
Speaker 2: playing playing what game.
Speaker 16: It was?
Speaker 6: After I left, I think it was I would probably
Speaker 6: be back and I probab because I think it was
Speaker 6: Asian people, yeah, come in. Yeah, but the he was
Speaker 6: he could have really stopped it.
Speaker 4: But you know, it was.
Speaker 6: I remember actually one night he was packer was in
Speaker 6: and he was losing and they sent me up. I
Speaker 6: was supervising at the time. They said I've got the
Speaker 6: deal the packer. I said, okay, you know, and I
Speaker 6: go out and I just started to deal and he
Speaker 6: just went get that f and scorn. He be off
Speaker 6: my table, and because I'd taken a couple of three
Speaker 6: hands when I had just once so exactly told me
Speaker 6: to beat it downstairs. But in later years he became
Speaker 6: a lot of nicer person. That was when he was
