Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News Talks.
Speaker 2: That'd be greetings, welcome Marcus, with it till twelve o'clock tonight.
Speaker 2: How are you, what's happening? You're good? Hope you're good.
Speaker 2: Get in touch here till twelve o'clock. As I say, oh,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty eight and eight, looks like Donald
Speaker 2: Trump's going to accept a four hundred million dollar plane
Speaker 2: seven four seven replace air Force one. Yep, that's right
Speaker 2: from Qatar. Even the loyalists opposed to that. He appeared
Speaker 2: to confirme his intent to accept the lavish gift. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong with air Force one.
Speaker 2: Don't even know how old air Force one is. It'd
Speaker 2: be easy to find out, but I'm sure a number
Speaker 2: of presents have used air Force one. By the way, too,
Speaker 2: you will heard on the news the tariffs are kind
Speaker 2: of reduced for ninety days America to China ten percent
Speaker 2: advice of verse of thirty five percent. I think that's
Speaker 2: the way it goes too, with the tariff. So some
Speaker 2: only things seem to be rare turning to kind of normalish.
Speaker 2: It's all just a negotiation technique. I'm a bit bits
Speaker 2: and bobs today with topic wise old berry bits and bobs.
Speaker 2: Don't kind of know what's going to get you going
Speaker 2: to nights. If you've got some suggestions for things you
Speaker 2: want to talk about, feel free to get in touch.
Speaker 2: I've spent some of today reading about a chicken sandwich,
Speaker 2: which was kind of confusing because actually the Americans call
Speaker 2: a chicken burger a chicken sandwich. Now why, I don't know,
Speaker 2: because I was reading the alcolog Gee it's a good
Speaker 2: idea of chicken sandwich, but actually was an article about
Speaker 2: the chicken burger, which is kind of interesting up to
Speaker 2: a point. But they're taking over in America, and it
Speaker 2: seems as though it's not literally said that, but it
Speaker 2: seems as though the chicken burger, which they call the
Speaker 2: chicken sandwich, is now taking over from the hamburger. And
Speaker 2: made me think I was given the choice, i'd still
Speaker 2: go with a hamburger. Don't know why. I don't like
Speaker 2: actually either particularly, but I think it was a choice
Speaker 2: of a chicken burger or hamburger, I'd go the hamburger,
Speaker 2: which is beef obviously, But if I have a hamburger,
Speaker 2: it's free occasionally, and I don't like all this. These days,
Speaker 2: you get all these sort of gravity challenging burgers with
Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff, and I just don't like all
Speaker 2: the sauces. It's just I like it, but for me
Speaker 2: just to meet for me, just probably the meat and
Speaker 2: the bit of cheese and probably a pickle that would
Speaker 2: be enough. Tiny bit of kitchup or tomato sauce would call,
Speaker 2: But yes, anyway, go. So I've been reading about other chickens,
Speaker 2: so I don't know what people out there would prefer
Speaker 2: if they're going that chickens. I don't even know where
Speaker 2: you get a good chicken burger. Actually, I know there's
Speaker 2: plenty of places doing gourmet hamburger. I don't know where
Speaker 2: you get a chicken burger. You might have something to
Speaker 2: say about that. That's the first question for you off
Speaker 2: the bat. The other question, I'm thinking, what would be
Speaker 2: the ratio in this country of golf courses to pubs.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably three to one pubs to golf courses,
Speaker 2: but there's some with golf courses and no pubs. You.
Speaker 2: I spent some time thinking about that today and over
Speaker 2: the weeken because I thought it might be one to
Speaker 2: one for a while. I think he's four hundred and
Speaker 2: forty golf courses. That's quite a lot, isn't it. They
Speaker 2: say more per capita than NEMA in the world apart
Speaker 2: from Scotland. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than Scotland.
Speaker 2: Most of the North Island, quite a few in the
Speaker 2: South four forty. I don't know how many pubs are left,
Speaker 2: but that'd be one of the worst ways to invest
Speaker 2: your money would be in a country pub. They're all
Speaker 2: for sale and they remain for sale anyway. Get in touch,
Speaker 2: as I say, oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
Speaker 2: and nine to nine, to detect if this breaking news,
Speaker 2: I'll bring that to you. I'll bring that to you
Speaker 2: quick smart. What might happen tonight, I don't know. They
Speaker 2: might be quakes, there might be fires, there might be
Speaker 2: product recalls, there could be anything. So I'm all across
Speaker 2: that if that happens, I'll broadcast that and bring that
Speaker 2: to you as we wait for the whole phone lines
Speaker 2: to cavalcade with people with a lot to say tonight.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know what's going to get you going,
Speaker 2: so I will just continue to check things out there
Speaker 2: and we'll see where we end up. No one seems
Speaker 2: to be well, no, I won't say that. Actually I
Speaker 2: say no one seems to be too outraged, But that's
Speaker 2: just asking for trouble. There are a number of locations
Speaker 2: now where people could have been infected with measles because
Speaker 2: the person worked for Fuller's Furies Free interested in the
Speaker 2: family trips they do on the full of Fairies. This
Speaker 2: person was a man or woman. They're back in Ford,
Speaker 2: Halfmoon Bay, Devonport, Wahiki rang a Toto, all the while
Speaker 2: potentially spreading measles, So that will be of a concern
Speaker 2: to people. I think twenty nineteen was the last outbreak,
Speaker 2: so it's all there in the hill, and I think
Speaker 2: now the person's been shopping, as we're quite used to,
Speaker 2: you know, when we're tracing locations. If now we ended
Speaker 2: up going to chemists to find probably products tour which
Speaker 2: is probably the last thing you're doing if you're infectious.
Speaker 2: Not said without judgment, but that's sort of very much
Speaker 2: what we had with COVID, wasn't it. They'd go here,
Speaker 2: they'd go there, they'd go there, they'd go there, then
Speaker 2: they go there. Then they go there, then they go
Speaker 2: to the chemist. So I'm sure there'll be more locations,
Speaker 2: as are probably more people. Well it's only one person
Speaker 2: with it at the stage, but I'm sure that's just
Speaker 2: amount of time before someone else comes through with that
Speaker 2: also too. So yes, do you get in touch, I say,
Speaker 2: if you want to talk. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
Speaker 2: eighty is it's a ninety day pause US and China
Speaker 2: to scale back the tariffs. Don't know if that's going
Speaker 2: to be positive for the economy. Maybe the damage has
Speaker 2: already been done anyway, Oh, eight hundred eighty tenny and
Speaker 2: nine two ninety six by them as Marcus Hittl twelve o'clock.
Speaker 2: I don't know what we've got to look forward to
Speaker 2: actually over the next couple of weeks. The budget it's
Speaker 2: less than two weeks away. Some of the other things
Speaker 2: I can tell you about tonight and what special day
Speaker 2: it is tonight or today, basically it's Limerick Day. We
Speaker 2: won't do those on EI. They tend to be blue.
Speaker 2: It's ninety fudgeedame. I'm not what sure what we'll do
Speaker 2: about that, not domit to day. I'm someone that still
Speaker 2: gets excited when my adometer shows up. All the numbers
Speaker 2: are the same or like one hundred thousand. That's always
Speaker 2: good for me. I'll always look forward to that watching
Speaker 2: it tick over. I think that's quite a big deal.
Speaker 2: By the way, also to this day in nineteen seventy one,
Speaker 2: the anti Vietnam War protests in Auckland nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 2: So yes, fifty four years ago for that one anyway,
Speaker 2: do get in touch. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten
Speaker 2: eighty and Nikola Willis announced the budget twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: delivered on January twenty second of May. This Friday is
Speaker 2: Pink Shirt Day, the annual anti bullying campaign fundraiser. I
Speaker 2: think not only it's a fundraiser, but it's also a
Speaker 2: designed to raise the awareness of the damages of bullying.
Speaker 2: If you're waiting up for Mission Impossible, the finals Final Reckoning,
Speaker 2: that's seventeen May. That will be ooh Friday or something
Speaker 2: like that. And that Soviet Union cosmos that did crash
Speaker 2: to Earth. No one saw it. It's going to happen
Speaker 2: late said that. I seem to be reading and watching
Speaker 2: about that. All signs are that it landed off the
Speaker 2: coast of Indonesia, straight to the bottom the ocean, I
Speaker 2: would imagine. So yes, get in touch if you got
Speaker 2: to be a part of the show. My name is Marcus. Welcome,
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to
Speaker 2: nine to two to text you don't want to actually
Speaker 2: got a bat for chicken burgers versus hamburgers. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's such a big thing in New Zealand. Yet
Speaker 2: the thing is with the chicken. The flavors not there.
Speaker 2: I suppose what you spice it up with, though, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I guess that's the key to chicken absorbs the flavors anyway. Oh,
Speaker 2: by the way too, I'm a bit more of the
Speaker 2: same again. There is going to be a boy racer crackdown.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you felt about that. For me
Speaker 2: it was a bit of a grown effer doubt to
Speaker 2: a boy racer crackdown. But that's what the government has promised.
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone out there is terrorized by
Speaker 2: boy racers. I'm never aware of them, never see them
Speaker 2: in Bluff, and I don't know that we get them
Speaker 2: in a new cargo. I know people take their cars
Speaker 2: to town and drive round and round. I think when
Speaker 2: it comes to boy racer crackdowns a lot of publicity,
Speaker 2: but I mean boy racers, it just seems to get
Speaker 2: young people love to do they love to race cars.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it happened. In Christ they had
Speaker 2: kind of a no go zone around the middle. That
Speaker 2: might have worked. You might want to mention that also tonight. Anyway,
Speaker 2: he till twelve. My name is Marcus Welcome eight hundred, Matthew.
Speaker 2: It's Marcus welcome, you.
Speaker 3: Know, Marcus. Well, just just calling about the burgers. Sure,
Speaker 3: I agree with you with the beef burger.
Speaker 4: You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't be the good smash burger.
Speaker 2: As long as it's well, as long as it's well
Speaker 2: cooked and contained.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, well the smash burger. You fry the onions
Speaker 3: and then you smash the burger onto it. Then you
Speaker 3: put cheese.
Speaker 2: You press it down quite hard, don't you. So it's
Speaker 2: not kind of all falling apart.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's easy to pick up.
Speaker 3: It doesn't all fall out when you buy it.
Speaker 2: That's right, you want you because I don't know how
Speaker 2: they always have these posters of burgers and they're tall
Speaker 2: with all different things. Like I just said, no one wants.
Speaker 3: That hours of mess and too much sauces. I agree
Speaker 3: the mayonnaise. People overdo the mayonnaise.
Speaker 2: But why is that?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's so messy to eat. I just want to hold
Speaker 3: one hand munch on a good beef burger. I agree,
Speaker 3: like a good cheeseburger.
Speaker 4: Can't beat it.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure if that's how all food now
Speaker 2: is dictated by social media. They're looking for food that
Speaker 2: kind of looks dramatic on its too gram But so
Speaker 2: it doesn't taste dramatic, does it.
Speaker 3: Yeah? But we eat a lot of chicken too.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, every night.
Speaker 3: We have chicken. I say to the messus, I'm sick
Speaker 3: of chicken. Can we have something else?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: I do go back in time, of course, in the
Speaker 2: big promotion for chicken, like forty years ago, because it's
Speaker 2: really expensive, and they tried to market it as it
Speaker 2: costs no more than the weekend roast. Will now it
Speaker 2: probably be about a fifth of the price, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, they used to have it for Christmas dinner.
Speaker 3: Used to get chicken at Christmas, and it was like,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't understand.
Speaker 2: I guess the I guess the probably with the flip
Speaker 2: side of that is the conditions the chickens and which
Speaker 2: aren't that flash. But I don't know too much about that.
Speaker 2: There's colony in this cage, and there's free range, and
Speaker 2: there's there's all sorts.
Speaker 3: Of acro, the macro, the organic. What's macro, Well, it's
Speaker 3: that brand. I think it's the cold the accountdown brand.
Speaker 3: They did a macro like it's you know, and you
Speaker 3: pay another five dollars for it.
Speaker 2: Oh it sounds delicious, is it.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's chicken.
Speaker 2: So you'd be the beef. You'd be the beef burger
Speaker 2: over the chicken burger, wouldn't you.
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Every time, that's I want to know, Matthew, Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's brilliant. That's what we want to know. Get in touch,
Speaker 2: Marcus twelve, eight hundred eighty ten eighty But of everything tonight,
Speaker 2: bits and bobs, it's a Monday, Monday Innium, eight hundred
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty nine. Those ticks coming through, if you've
Speaker 2: got them, that are what you're text about tonight. But
Speaker 2: you'll find something, no doubt. Someone says it sounds like
Speaker 2: there's something wrong with my mic. I don't think there
Speaker 2: is but will work out what we can do about that. Marcus.
Speaker 2: Apparently Air Force one has flown the equivalent of six
Speaker 2: months compared to a commercial aircraft. What does that mean? Oh,
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. Wow, it hasn't flown for
Speaker 2: much time at all, Marcus. Two guys chicken burgers and
Speaker 2: the Royal Luke Shopping All in Auckland is we will
Speaker 2: find the best chicken burger around, Korean fried chicken petties,
Speaker 2: small range of burgers and green the donut chicken burger. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm pleased it. Something's finally happened in the Royal shop
Speaker 2: at the Royal Shopping All. For a long time, that
Speaker 2: was a dead duck Marcus. It's not the same watching
Speaker 2: the speedo tick over a milestone now they're digital. Good point,
Speaker 2: very good point, Marcus. Nice to see. What do you
Speaker 2: think about the police and Polish and setting an example
Speaker 2: and getting drug tested? You quite a lot of text
Speaker 2: about burgers. Actually, best chicken burger is homemade teagle, take
Speaker 2: out of the air fry, Jabarta, bar letters, mayo, s racha,
Speaker 2: tomato and bacon. But it's quite undignified to put bacon
Speaker 2: with chicken. Don't know why good evening, John. Hi John, it's.
Speaker 8: It happens sometimes.
Speaker 2: Good on you. It's a strongs that Welcome to the airwaves, John,
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 8: Hello Marcus. I'm thinking about the chicken burger. Whenever I
Speaker 8: met a restaurant, they're always doing way too much, and
Speaker 8: then I bought into it and it just tastes like chicken.
Speaker 2: So it is chicken.
Speaker 8: It's chicken, and on the menu it will be halpenos,
Speaker 8: deep fried, all this and that, and then I get
Speaker 8: it and it's just like every other time, and I'm disappointed,
Speaker 8: and I wish that I got the beef burger.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the downfall of chicken. It always just tastes
Speaker 2: of chicken, doesn't it, because you can exactly, because you
Speaker 2: can't mix stuff in with it, and because it's it's all.
Speaker 2: There's two things I don't like about a chicken burger, right.
Speaker 2: The first thing, do you mind listening to me as
Speaker 2: I as I.
Speaker 8: Vent and you're you're the host.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never But the first thing is it's always
Speaker 2: deep fried, isn't it. Yes, that's a downer. And the
Speaker 2: other thing is.
Speaker 8: It's unhealthy, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah it is. I don't like a deep fried food.
Speaker 2: And the other thing is also is that you can't
Speaker 2: It's not like it's not made with minced chicken where
Speaker 2: you can put onion and stuff with other stuff into
Speaker 2: the paddy. It's just a slab of deep fried chicken.
Speaker 9: No exactly.
Speaker 8: And then sometimes it's not even that, it's just reconstituted.
Speaker 8: They might put something in it, but you just don't
Speaker 8: even know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, I don't know if I've necessarily ever
Speaker 2: had a chicken burger. Actually, I'm just thinking about it now.
Speaker 2: I've gone to some of these, you know, it's all
Speaker 2: this Korean chicken is the rage. I've gone to try that,
Speaker 2: but it's just too much for me. It's too fried
Speaker 2: and it's too full on, and I just I hate
Speaker 2: to say, i'd probably judgment of those people that need
Speaker 2: a lot of and I think, well, actually, that can't
Speaker 2: be good for you.
Speaker 8: Yes, well, I mean that could be making worse life decisions,
Speaker 8: to be honest, like what ah smoking your.
Speaker 2: Good point and sush, yeah, good point, Yeah, very good point.
Speaker 2: I just wonder how it seems as though it seems
Speaker 2: to me as though all this treatification of eating, all
Speaker 2: these things that have become you know something that's quite
Speaker 2: exciting and sort of forbidden, like deep fried chicken wings
Speaker 2: has now become a staple. It's about time someone sort
Speaker 2: of came down from the heavens and said, what say
Speaker 2: when that's not quite really what I think? But yeah,
Speaker 2: causes me some concern. But yeah, chicken or the beef,
Speaker 2: what would you go with? I kind of think some
Speaker 2: ways the most exciting way to have a chicken would
Speaker 2: be actually roasted with a good stuffing. But that's fall
Speaker 2: out of flavor because people don't like the skin, do they?
Speaker 2: Pep oh, John? Did you have a pub to golf
Speaker 2: course ratio?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 2: Three pubs to one golf course?
Speaker 7: No way, that's much higher?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 2: How higher?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 8: I don't know the exact figure, but I mean, if
Speaker 8: you think about it, one golf course takes up so
Speaker 8: much land versus one pub, and you dove down the
Speaker 8: road many pubs to one golf course.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at South and South and looks like it's
Speaker 2: got about twenty five golf courses right, maybe thirty and
Speaker 2: a lot of the country pubs have closed. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of working on that one, John. But yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's a good discussion that wasn't okay to sc got
Speaker 2: bear part of it. You want you My name is Marcus,
Speaker 2: Welcome Handle twelve. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty. It
Speaker 2: was a better half hour than I thought A bits
Speaker 2: and Bobby. But that's not a problem Hendle twelve. If
Speaker 2: you want to talk oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty chicken,
Speaker 2: we're talking chicken. I don't know ultimately where that ends up,
Speaker 2: actually the discussion on chicken, because the Great Chicken burger,
Speaker 2: though they call it the chicken sandwich, is taking over America.
Speaker 2: Everyone's doing it. But I like some of the points
Speaker 2: that John made. Always just tastes kind of and I
Speaker 2: guess that's what they're deep fry. I don't even know
Speaker 2: why they're deep fry. Why is it well? I guess
Speaker 2: it's quick and thorough. He ends up paranorm about chicken
Speaker 2: not being cooked right through, aren't they? Um? Marcus, the
Speaker 2: chicken burger well made a chicken high Marcus comma, A
Speaker 2: chicken burger made well is good. So maybe you've not
Speaker 2: had a good one. Deep Fried chicken on bread from
Speaker 2: a fast food joint probably not a good example. You
Speaker 2: can get make a tasty chicken berg with a deep
Speaker 2: with a fried not deep fried frillt. You could also
Speaker 2: start with chicken mince and flavor a patty. Not that
Speaker 2: I've done that. Interesting that patties with a capital P. Marcus,
Speaker 2: not a fan of chicken, generally agreed chicken burgers are
Speaker 2: always underwhelming. However, I do like Merry me Chicken. I
Speaker 2: don't know what marry me Chicken is. It's marry me Chicken.
Speaker 2: It's probably an outlet. It might be a recipe Marry
Speaker 2: me Chicken. Can someone enlighten me about marry me Chicken? Actually,
Speaker 2: if it is a If it is a recipe, it's
Speaker 2: got a brilliant yeah. Wow goodness. Marry Me Chicken is
Speaker 2: a skillet chicken recipe popularized by social media. Good and
Speaker 2: there's also engagement Chicken. Who knew about that marry me
Speaker 2: Chicken and went viral. Love at first wipe Marry me Chicken?
Speaker 2: Anyone cooked that? What is it? Chicken breasts and a rich,
Speaker 2: creamy sauce made with garlic and parmesan cheese. It's so
Speaker 2: delicious it could inspire a marriage proposal. Wow, good luck
Speaker 2: with that. I think everyone tie. Everyone will always inevitably,
Speaker 2: even the best recipes and the best dishes will become
Speaker 2: tiresome if they're fed too many times? Am I right?
Speaker 2: I think? I am Marcus. Why is there a camera
Speaker 2: at every intersection nowadays? Who owns pays for these? Where
Speaker 2: does the footage get stored? Are we being surveilled from
Speaker 2: mister trying not to wear a tin hat?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't know why this cameras everywhere? It's kind of
Speaker 2: slightly Yeah, where is all that footage kept? I didn't
Speaker 2: know a guy once right where him? And are we
Speaker 2: going to get involved with a railway? With a railway situation?
Speaker 2: Nice guy and he was an active pension He must
Speaker 2: have been in his eighties, and him and I got
Speaker 2: to know each other a little bit. But he not
Speaker 2: only was involved with the thing that I was going
Speaker 2: to get involved with, but he also was part of
Speaker 2: a group of pensioners that volunteered at the local police
Speaker 2: station on a Friday evening to watch video footage. And
Speaker 2: they loved it. I think a because they thought they're
Speaker 2: going to solved some great crime, but be it made
Speaker 2: them feel useful and see like a lot of peaches,
Speaker 2: probably just a little bit nose. He just liked to
Speaker 2: see what was going on, So rather than staying home
Speaker 2: watching East End his omnibus, they'd go down to the
Speaker 2: cop shop and then all sit on cheers with cups
Speaker 2: of tea and they'd just watch multiple screens and look
Speaker 2: for tagging. Probably is what they're on about, or public
Speaker 2: urination or anything like that. Marcus tried a duck burger.
Speaker 2: Marcus just want to give a shout out to Ryan
Speaker 2: Fox on his maiden PGA win this morning. He's come
Speaker 2: through some adversity for it. Also great to see him
Speaker 2: share it with his wife and young daughters. Hopefully this
Speaker 2: is just the beginning of his wins. Thanks Julie. I
Speaker 2: know nothing about Ryan Fox, but what I do know
Speaker 2: is that and the sports broadcasting business they love him.
Speaker 2: He always answers his phone, and he's always available for
Speaker 2: and if you're a sports person around the world and
Speaker 2: you're just available when people ring you, things will become
Speaker 2: much rosier for you. So he's always on the radio,
Speaker 2: always picks up, always picks up. Marry me Chicken. Have
Speaker 2: you had the new donuts from McDonald's. No, But if
Speaker 2: someone's to know what the new donuts from McDonald's are like,
Speaker 2: light showing Christ Chitch night sky in the moment, red
Speaker 2: light in the east and green to the south. Is
Speaker 2: that the aroar anyway, get in touch one of his Marcus,
Speaker 2: welcome burger and chicken or beef Chicken's taking over. It's
Speaker 2: the year of the chicken burger. I'm not a huge fan,
Speaker 2: but once I'm saying that once in a while, probably
Speaker 2: once a year, but not for about five years I
Speaker 2: probably have had a KFC Hawaiian burger with the pineapple
Speaker 2: and provide it's well constructed. Now, i don't know about you,
Speaker 2: but when I un't wrap a burger, if the top
Speaker 2: lid is not placed on the bottom lid directly, then
Speaker 2: it's not happy for me. Sometimes you have a burger,
Speaker 2: perhaps a file of fish, and they've just put got
Speaker 2: the bottom and then they put some sauce and they
Speaker 2: put the file and they're then just kind of top
Speaker 2: chuck the top layer in the general direction. That's never
Speaker 2: a good start when you've actually got to reassemble the
Speaker 2: burger yourself. But yes, no, I've got to say the
Speaker 2: chicken burger, the Hawaiian one was always very good. But
Speaker 2: I'm liking the idea of a duck burger. Where would
Speaker 2: you buy one of those, and how many golf courses
Speaker 2: versus how many pubs? Would it be a ratio of
Speaker 2: three to one. I guess it depends on defining a
Speaker 2: pub because that's all changed now, hasn't it. What what
Speaker 2: stupid old Ai'll say about that? I shouldn't say stupid
Speaker 2: old Ai, but I am sick of it. Fifteen hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty pubs, bars and nightclubs in New Zealand, so
Speaker 2: four pubs for every golf course. That seems about right,
Speaker 2: doesn't it? Marcus? How many windscreen washes at the intersection
Speaker 2: of the big city compared to small town. It's a
Speaker 2: big thing in christ Church, standy? How many in Vicago?
Speaker 2: There are no window wash? She's an in the car glo.
Speaker 2: I've never seen one. I did a windscreen coming into
Speaker 2: town yesterday. I think it was because they're always doing
Speaker 2: the roadworks on Bluff Road thanks to mean but loose
Speaker 2: seal everywhere. And that's right. I've copped on the wind screen,
Speaker 2: so that's a worry. As I watched the crack get bigger,
Speaker 2: what are you supposed to do when I get to Crack?
Speaker 2: Are you supposed to go straight away and put a
Speaker 2: sticker on it. Will they give me a sticker? Is
Speaker 2: that the way it works? Yeah, that's a fairly good question. Actual,
Speaker 2: I didn't even thought that about a tibook talk back topic. So,
Speaker 2: if you're driving around you get a chip in your windscreen,
Speaker 2: it's about the size of a two dollar coin. Can
Speaker 2: I put a sticker over that to stop it spreading
Speaker 2: while I get the insurance sorted out? Steve, it's Marcus, Welcome,
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 12: Hey, talking about chicken burgers. Yes, way back in the
Speaker 12: eighties we had I lived in Orchard and we had
Speaker 12: a particularly nice Asian restaurant. You used to do an
Speaker 12: egg too young Godness with minced chicken. It was absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2: What was the place called?
Speaker 12: But there was a bit of a being reconstituted. There
Speaker 12: was always a question about the chicken. It wasn't a
Speaker 12: dead duck. It was a seagull. Help department close it
Speaker 12: down well, but it was particularly nice. We used to
Speaker 12: get every Friday night for months.
Speaker 2: Wow, where to go? I don't even know where to
Speaker 2: go to that with that.
Speaker 12: Discussion, I don't know where to go with that or other.
Speaker 2: But you just had me on egg for young because
Speaker 2: you never hear about that anymore.
Speaker 12: No, but he had minced, minced all reconstituted chicken in it.
Speaker 2: Chips.
Speaker 12: It was nice, but it wasn't a dead duck.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't a burger. It wasn't a chicken burger.
Speaker 12: No, well, no, the only burger the chicken burger. Here.
Speaker 12: We have McDonald's here, and teams do not.
Speaker 2: Have a Do you have one of those flesh new
Speaker 2: burger places that you know that propped up everywhere doing
Speaker 2: those sort of more gourmet ones.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, Burger King they had one, and they had
Speaker 12: one and Pepakura you know.
Speaker 2: Maybe like something or even more flesher than that, like
Speaker 2: some sort of local owner operated one.
Speaker 12: There was a Wendy's as well, chicken.
Speaker 2: Not like everyone independent one or something.
Speaker 4: No, not that enough.
Speaker 12: We've got one golf course at the moment. We've got
Speaker 12: one golf course and two bars.
Speaker 2: Because how many pubs would have teams had forty?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, maybe more. There was a lot of sly
Speaker 12: groging going on and there I'll go one days.
Speaker 2: So what pubs? What is the is the Brian But
Speaker 2: what's is it? The one they had the Mooner.
Speaker 11: Mystery it closed.
Speaker 12: Hunters Bar and we've got a that's sells alcohol, and
Speaker 12: and we've got another restaurant type thing that sells alcohol
Speaker 12: and the.
Speaker 2: Golf and the golf club does.
Speaker 12: Well, I suppose. So yeah, yeah, a lot of people
Speaker 12: go there because of the fact that they've got to
Speaker 12: bar there. When they've done their around, they call it
Speaker 12: the nineteenth hole.
Speaker 2: That still that big two story place looks like a
Speaker 2: pizza How is that right? No, what's the what's the
Speaker 2: clubrooms look like?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, it is two story plays. Yeah, that's right upstairs.
Speaker 2: As a restaurant, evening to Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 7: Marcus. Chicken and putting them into burgers not particularly my thing,
Speaker 7: but because I think wrapping stuff and bread detracts from
Speaker 7: the taste of what you're wrapping around, you know. Having
Speaker 7: said that, I have had a chicken burger, and it
Speaker 7: seems to me that the thing with deep coating and
Speaker 7: deep frying is to get that texture, you know, that
Speaker 7: bit of crunch. I am slightly intrigued by the Korean style.
Speaker 7: I've never tried it. It's not particularly appeal to me,
Speaker 7: but I imagine it's got a mighty crunch to it,
Speaker 7: and that would be a draw card for a lot
Speaker 7: of people. Gimally with chicken breast, which is largely tasteless.
Speaker 7: I'm all about you know, I'll poach it or cook
Speaker 7: it in the steamer. Poaching is pretty good. You can,
Speaker 7: you know, you can put nice flavors in your poaching liquid,
Speaker 7: like free ginger, fresh garlic, heaps of or depending on
Speaker 7: your taste, you know, you stick some fresh heads and there,
Speaker 7: that kind of thing. But I've had a lot of
Speaker 7: success with just like steving chicken breast. It ends up
Speaker 7: pretty nice. And of course you can, you know, you
Speaker 7: can cut it into different thicknesses that type of thing.
Speaker 7: If you're in a hurry, it'll cook cooker. But I
Speaker 7: would think that if you're going to put an in
Speaker 7: a bigger allow the time for preparation, maybe marinate overnight,
Speaker 7: would saying you're going to get better, stab it with
Speaker 7: a fork, you know, put your flavors in there, get
Speaker 7: it turn fews. We'll get a you know, like color
Speaker 7: andy version of like a hypodermic needle and inject flavor
Speaker 7: into it that way. But yeah, I think, don't brush it.
Speaker 7: You know, that's how the reason why people go for
Speaker 7: the takeaways. Now, as he actually planned, he end up
Speaker 7: some pretty nice stuff, you know.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from it, Tim. I think that's probably
Speaker 2: why people actually are falling for them to go and
Speaker 2: buy them, because it's atually handle the cop chickens hard.
Speaker 2: You haven't got a deep throw at home. It's a fuss.
Speaker 2: Hello Johnet's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 6: I don't I guess first time call it to your
Speaker 6: show mate.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you.
Speaker 6: So sorry, it's not about burgers or anything, but I
Speaker 6: really just need yeh, some's out loud with and just
Speaker 6: look to get some advice opect from our listeners out there,
Speaker 6: so let me see the same for you. I was
Speaker 6: a highly sought after contractor in the IT space and
Speaker 6: government and I was in the first round of cuts
Speaker 6: when the new government come in. Since then, I've applied
Speaker 6: for about twenty serious roles, been goes to bavery single
Speaker 6: one of them or I've been too overqualified. Now it's
Speaker 6: a year later and our savings have run out. So
Speaker 6: now I'm torn between for the first time in forty
Speaker 6: four years, going on the doll or looking at Australia
Speaker 6: for potential role. But we've got a young fella, so yeah,
Speaker 6: it's wighing heavily on the mind. At the moment as
Speaker 6: to watch to actually do to keep supporting my family.
Speaker 2: What's your area? What's your area of it? Is that
Speaker 2: general enough to say it?
Speaker 6: T Yeah. I deliver new capabilities and new technology to
Speaker 6: help streamline services, removed duplication, segregation and it's make life
Speaker 6: a lot easier for all the users out there.
Speaker 2: Are you based in Wellington? Yes, yep, and all the
Speaker 2: jobs you've applied for I've been in Wellington.
Speaker 6: I've applied for jobs in Wellington, Auckland and christ Church.
Speaker 6: The ones that I do hear back from too over
Speaker 6: qualified and the ones that I've been successful and made
Speaker 6: it through to the final process has been four of them.
Speaker 6: Two of them the funding was unfortunately with drawn so
Speaker 6: the position no longer existed. And to the mum the
Speaker 6: start on.
Speaker 2: Would you be concerned about selling your house in Wellington
Speaker 2: and a declining market?
Speaker 6: Wouldn't be looking at selling the house it's more with
Speaker 6: or I yeah, swallow my pride and go on the
Speaker 6: dole looking probably at the job seekers benefits. Or would
Speaker 6: I take myself off to Australia, Yeah, trying to do
Speaker 6: something for about twelve months and then look to come back,
Speaker 6: or just see what the job situation.
Speaker 2: So you're not thinking about permanently moving to Australia because
Speaker 2: everyone else is.
Speaker 6: We've we've done that. I could consertainly stay there for
Speaker 6: twelve months on a on a fixative role or something,
Speaker 6: but you would like our little ones to be brought
Speaker 6: up here in New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, okay, So your question is a bit more
Speaker 2: specific than it's where to go to Australia for a year.
Speaker 2: We'll go on the job seekers benefit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I've never been on the benefit of my life,
Speaker 6: which is why I just don't like the whole idea
Speaker 6: of having so yeah called the government for assistance when
Speaker 6: the government other ones he did this to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, I don't necessarily that follows surely you'd
Speaker 2: be more likely to go on the benefit of that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't understand that reason, but that you say you
Speaker 2: don't want to go to the benefit after they governed
Speaker 2: that to you. But that's that's that's your call.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Have you thought, since we are in this perhaps temporary
Speaker 2: time of higher unemployment, have you thought of going into
Speaker 2: any other careers in the meantime?
Speaker 13: Yes, I have.
Speaker 6: My cvs are skiers people.
Speaker 2: Because I thought a lot of jobs they didn't have
Speaker 2: cvs now there are. Yeah, okay, fair.
Speaker 6: Enough, I did. I didn't consider picking up a role
Speaker 6: as in a distribution center working for yeah, just sorting
Speaker 6: and picking. H Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure
Speaker 6: if I do something like that.
Speaker 2: It's been a whole year. It sounds like it's been
Speaker 2: a tough year. Applying for those jobs. Not hearing back
Speaker 2: from people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and they say the job market's improving, but
Speaker 6: not not for the level that are preyd there unfortunately.
Speaker 2: And I presume the government set three a lot of it.
Speaker 2: People were all those people they got rid of a
Speaker 2: year ago. We go for those other jobs one day.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So I had one hundred and sixty in my
Speaker 6: team and I had to release nearly two thirds of them.
Speaker 6: So many of them have gone to Australia, some of
Speaker 6: them have gone to Europe, a couple of Singapore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've all got work there. I presume that's
Speaker 2: what That's why they've gone there. There were jobs, right.
Speaker 6: That's great. Yeah, they majority of them are not coming back.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you. John, will see if anyone's
Speaker 2: got anything to talk about that or any advice thory
Speaker 2: suggestions through their own experiences. We'll do that after the news.
Speaker 2: But I appreciate you coming through, John. I appreciate the
Speaker 2: heartfeltness of that call too, So if you want to
Speaker 2: talk to that oh eight hundred eighty eight nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: to text. We are looking for advice for John, Well,
Speaker 2: John's looking for advice for John. Here's what people have seen,
Speaker 2: Marcus John. By twenty twenty seven, half of South Korea's
Speaker 2: workforce will be replaced by AI retrain or by a MOA.
Speaker 2: So hard for John. Understand that alemorphy chooses WINS for
Speaker 2: a while. They say they'll be more proactive with helping
Speaker 2: him to work unless can support yourself tricky without asking
Speaker 2: Wins for assistance. Go drive bus always works, and then
Speaker 2: leave when you find a better job. Glenn Wayhick, Marcus
Speaker 2: sounds like a smart gentleman if he likes it. They
Speaker 2: were looking at a sparky trade qualified in four years.
Speaker 2: Marcus is just that guy. Gone the doll, get his
Speaker 2: truck license and then go driving for a while. Can
Speaker 2: earn one hundred and k. Marcus tell the OT guy
Speaker 2: to go teaching. Screaming out for teachers especially with technologe Susie.
Speaker 2: Here's some advice, buddy, don't call yourself highly sought after
Speaker 2: and highly qualified. It appears both those terms are a contradiction.
Speaker 2: And burgers, chicken burgers versus beef what would be your
Speaker 2: go to? Mark Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 13: Hi Marcus.
Speaker 14: Yell boys, gone for the beef burgers. I'm not saying
Speaker 14: that chicken burgers no good. Everyone has their own sort
Speaker 14: of preference. But these one key thing to make a
Speaker 14: burger great, and most burger makers don't do it, and
Speaker 14: it is to toast the inside of the buns and
Speaker 14: butter it before you put it together. Now, it makes
Speaker 14: a world of difference. It doesn't matter of it told
Speaker 14: be burger burger, but most outlets.
Speaker 4: Don't do it.
Speaker 14: And it toasted, Yeah, toasts the inside of the buns,
Speaker 14: then butter it. Then put your burger together, and I
Speaker 14: trust me, it makes a burger from okay to excellent.
Speaker 4: Just that one.
Speaker 2: I thought most people would have done that.
Speaker 4: No, no, they don't.
Speaker 14: And apparently back in the day, Friendly used to work
Speaker 14: with his mother, used to back in the eighties go
Speaker 14: around and commission McDonald's franchises. Yep, and he told me
Speaker 14: that the Big Mac. How it has three bits spread
Speaker 14: the top.
Speaker 4: Bottom, in the middle.
Speaker 14: They used to toast the middle part and they haven't done
Speaker 14: that for years. And he said, and when you see
Speaker 14: the Scott, he can tell that he's put a few
Speaker 14: burgers away in his day. And yeah, so they haven't
Speaker 14: done it for years. I'll measure that the Big Mac
Speaker 14: would be a lot better if they were to do
Speaker 14: that too.
Speaker 2: Nice jefre re Mark thinking it seems though the beef
Speaker 2: burger is about taste. The chicken burger is more about texture,
Speaker 2: the crunch of the deep frying in the Korean and
Speaker 2: flakes and stuff like that. Don't think I'm that into it.
Speaker 2: Someone's emailed and said that it caller it job placements
Speaker 2: not availab on New Zealand. Seems strange given this information,
Speaker 2: and this guys tends to generally know what he's talking
Speaker 2: about the emailer. The New Zealand's IT sector is experiencing
Speaker 2: rapid growth in twenty twenty five, with the surgeon demand
Speaker 2: for a variety of technical roles the following They're currently
Speaker 2: the most taught after across the country. Key in demand
Speaker 2: IT roles software developer, data scientist, data analysts, cybersecurity specialists,
Speaker 2: cloud engineer and cloud architects, machine learning engineer and AI specialist,
Speaker 2: blockchain developer, UX designer and IoT engineers, ERPCRM solutions specialists,
Speaker 2: business analysts and project managers. And these are some of
Speaker 2: the most in demand IT jobs in New Zealand. IT
Speaker 2: says if you have expertise any of these areas, then
Speaker 2: using an IT job market in twenty twenty five offers
Speaker 2: outstanding opportunities, competitive salaries and strong career prospects, especially in
Speaker 2: major hubs like Auckland, Wellington and Canterbury. So there we go.
Speaker 2: There's some so it does seem as so the market
Speaker 2: is positive, but that's obviously not your experience. Marcus brushed
Speaker 2: the barn with sugar water that gives it crisp color.
Speaker 2: Too much bread in a boog? Does eyone feel that?
Speaker 2: I actually think a chicken sandwich would be better actually
Speaker 2: with bread. But look, I'm not going to open a
Speaker 2: takeaway bar anytime soon. But welcome and good evening, Headle
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock if you want to partake Marcus till midnight.
Speaker 2: Nice email from summer sixteen years ago. I made the
Speaker 2: engagement chicken recipe of the time as a novice cook.
Speaker 2: I thought it was odd to stuff a chicken with
Speaker 2: a whole lemon, but it worked. My fiance proposed the
Speaker 2: next week must have been the whole lemon that did it.
Speaker 2: I've tried to fi Jara recently in a chicken quite good.
Speaker 2: It wasn't marry me chicken. See one made marry me chicken.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious about that as well. I'm going
Speaker 2: to check another topic of you, just because I feel
Speaker 2: a bits and Bobby Dan Who's Travis Hunter? I must
Speaker 2: just be a footballer, is he? Who are the Jaguars?
Speaker 2: What sports that.
Speaker 8: They?
Speaker 2: New team? Are they Jackson Jaguars. I'm not familiar with them.
Speaker 2: The article is about someone that just got sitting randomly
Speaker 2: on the plane next to the first draft guy from
Speaker 2: the Jackson Jaguars. So I'm curious enough if you've ever
Speaker 2: sat next to anyone of interest on a plane, or
Speaker 2: the most exciting plane conversation you've had. It's always hard
Speaker 2: to know if you sit next to someone on a
Speaker 2: plane when to kick off a conversation, because if they're
Speaker 2: if they're a terrible ball, you could be stuck with
Speaker 2: them the whole time. But many a time you actually
Speaker 2: start strike up a conversation just as you're getting your
Speaker 2: luggage out at the end, and you and they're a
Speaker 2: complete raffle well jepids screams. I could have been talking
Speaker 2: to the whole time. I don't know what your indicators are. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because you don't want to get started. You don't want
Speaker 2: to start talking to some kind of you know, cooker
Speaker 2: or racist and have their whole you know, them giving
Speaker 2: you their whole off the internet rhetoric, the whole flight.
Speaker 2: Because that's happened to me. Oh god, God, no, set
Speaker 2: me free, because you captured, aren't you? You're trapped? So yes,
Speaker 2: good and bad aircraft interactions Marcus Specter where it was Trump,
Speaker 2: what I'm up at? We he's got a four hund
Speaker 2: million dollar brand new plane, and John that wants to
Speaker 2: know what he should do for a career. Chris Is
Speaker 2: emailed that caller should review his CV layout and cut
Speaker 2: it into two pages. Keep it simple with achievements and
Speaker 2: major's skills. Most job titles in tenures speak for themselves.
Speaker 2: I have interviewed hundreds of epicants. If the CV is
Speaker 2: dalic can influence decision of the recruiter, especially anything regarding technology,
Speaker 2: chicken can't stand deep fried, but can only go organic
Speaker 2: to be safe over here in BALI, Yeah, I can't
Speaker 2: even quite understand why there is such an obsession with
Speaker 2: deep fried chicken. It must have still to be Oh,
Speaker 2: I suppose it's got that flavor. But yeah, because the
Speaker 2: burger is deep fried, isn't it.
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 2: I never done on the griddle. They call it a griddle. Maybe, Hi, Jon,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus. Welcome, good evening.
Speaker 15: Oh, hello Marcus. You're talking about burgers using chicken orm
Speaker 15: or form steak.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I've made burgers here when I've had the boys
Speaker 15: at home. But I don't like the beef so much
Speaker 15: unless it's very premium lean mints, because they say you
Speaker 15: need a certain amount of fat. But I don't like
Speaker 15: too much fat for calories and weight. And I don't like, no,
Speaker 15: it's got to be good mince. But some of the
Speaker 15: chicken burgers I don't have very often. But McDonald's have
Speaker 15: lovely chicken breast burgers, and you pay quite a bit
Speaker 15: for him. Pay from eleven to fifteen dollars for a
Speaker 15: you have a double breast deluck chicken burger. But do
Speaker 15: you ever make burgers at home and make them for
Speaker 15: your boys. No, not really, No, No, they'd probably like that,
Speaker 15: would they all?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's just not the way we roll. I
Speaker 2: don't think joke. Probably a casion. We've done it very occasionally. Yeah.
Speaker 15: Do they like McDonald's. Would they have chicken or a
Speaker 15: steak burger?
Speaker 2: No, not really big fans.
Speaker 15: No, my granddaughter Addison, she'll have a big Mac. But
Speaker 15: you know that guy said about having the toasting the
Speaker 15: bread and butter, Well, I wouldn't use butter. I would
Speaker 15: melt cheese on the bread. But there's so much lettuce.
Speaker 15: This pale look like paceless. Letters comes out of her
Speaker 15: her big Mac that she likes, and and all the
Speaker 15: letters and the salad dresses all dripping out, you know,
Speaker 15: out of her burger. She's eating it. So they're not
Speaker 15: that well put together.
Speaker 2: I agree, Jo, and think you're going to run. Peter Marcus,
Speaker 2: welcome Greevy.
Speaker 16: Marcus Marcus. I reckon firstly, myself, beef burger is a
Speaker 16: burger because, as one of your calls said at the
Speaker 16: beginning of the show, McDonald's set out to have beef only,
Speaker 16: and then slowly they drew the chicken. And I've always
Speaker 16: had had a beef. I find beef more tasty. Where's
Speaker 16: a chicken burger? There's something lacking in the in the flavor,
Speaker 16: and you shouldn't have to add stuff to her in
Speaker 16: my opinion.
Speaker 2: Maybe something flavor and also something lacking in the texture.
Speaker 2: That's why they've got a deep fry it.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Yeah, And I when I go to macus, I personally
Speaker 16: rather have quarter pounded because they put a beautiful, a
Speaker 16: beautiful rownish on it. And and none of the McDonald's
Speaker 16: burgers have have fallen in the mile app where's the
Speaker 16: common old Kiwi burg of it? Half of it comes out?
Speaker 16: And that's me is not good form.
Speaker 2: I think the key we burgh I see. Yeah, you're
Speaker 2: not to run a McDonald's k burger auger.
Speaker 16: Usual, you know, like the Fish and ship Shop one
Speaker 16: or whatever. They they don't as you said, they don't
Speaker 16: slap it on, they just put it on. That's where's
Speaker 16: macas But I've never had a burger fall on my
Speaker 16: lap at all there at all?
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean eighty two, you're you're eighty two?
Speaker 16: No, No, I've been eating this as nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: Two cheap as well. Yeah, No, I prefer mac they've
Speaker 2: been around since eighty two, and in New Zealand.
Speaker 16: I think they've been around before because my first one
Speaker 16: I went to was up by the eight that was
Speaker 16: three yep. But I think they've been around. I think
Speaker 16: the first one I'm going to get probably people ringing
Speaker 16: me so I could be wrong, was in piruh and
Speaker 16: Wellington really woun nineteen seventy two seventy three.
Speaker 2: I think you're probably right.
Speaker 16: Well, I am occasionally right, but I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 16: very early. But our first one in christ which was
Speaker 16: nineteen eighty five, what.
Speaker 2: Is the relish on the quarter pounder that you remember
Speaker 2: so fondly?
Speaker 16: I couldn't tell you, Marcus. No right, I can't get
Speaker 16: my head around. But it's bloody nice, okay, brilliant.
Speaker 2: Peter, thank you. In most cases, none are no longer
Speaker 2: dressed in additional habits. Some are dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing
Speaker 2: a cross and approach. That's right, they walk amongst us.
Speaker 2: Do they have a wimple? Marcus, i'n't if you did.
Speaker 2: Many people for it rolls cvs. They're just a dump
Speaker 2: of someone's work history at easy glance over. They don't
Speaker 2: really give a picture of the person's skills. A CV
Speaker 2: needs to be talent for the role they're applying for,
Speaker 2: outlining how their skills are right for the job. I'm
Speaker 2: always curious if people who apply for an entry level
Speaker 2: role and oversell themselves. They are a real turn off.
Speaker 2: I'm looking for someone who wants the job I'm advertising,
Speaker 2: not someone who wants to be CEO. And see the
Speaker 2: rolls of stepping stone. Wow, there you go. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: no one wants the guy at work or woman at
Speaker 2: workers are easy cheap as in my old job. I
Speaker 2: was doing this in half an hour. It's a good point,
Speaker 2: isn't it. I don't know what that means John should
Speaker 2: be doing. Oh yeah. And people next to you on planes, Marcus,
Speaker 2: always have iPods really to disengage from annoying passenger next
Speaker 2: to you? People who sat next to on a plane.
Speaker 2: Burgers chicken versus beef. The chicken burger is taking over
Speaker 2: with on America. They call it a chicken sandwich, which
Speaker 2: had me confused for most of the day. Now, Marcus,
Speaker 2: you mentioned Travis Hunter. He was pick number two overall
Speaker 2: in the recent NFL draft, overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 2: He was the Helm Heisman Trophy winner for the best
Speaker 2: player in college footballer this year. It is a unicorn
Speaker 2: in that he plays both offense and defense, a rarity,
Speaker 2: A star player of the future. Most interesting conversation of
Speaker 2: flight was Perth to Brisbane with Pauline Henson. I disliked
Speaker 2: her even more afterwards after a pretty low starting point. Wow,
Speaker 2: because you know it was her, wouldn't you? Because no
Speaker 2: one looks like Pauline Hanson like Pauline Henson getting touch
Speaker 2: Marcus till twelve lines are becoming available. Oh yeah, special
Speaker 2: relish on the quarter powder. No, it's the same tomato
Speaker 2: source hues of it. Dold Hamburgers and Cheezburgers might be
Speaker 2: the working the guys into I mean and two like
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I wonder why no one's
Speaker 2: doing a duck burger. They can even just call it that,
Speaker 2: couldn't they? Duck burger got a ring to it, sue Marcus.
Speaker 11: Welcome, Marcus is h revend man. I'm out standing on
Speaker 11: a whole.
Speaker 13: Just a family.
Speaker 2: Got me.
Speaker 11: I'm not reverts so fast forty in Kenada, geese so
Speaker 11: fat and right after I got dad, you left them there.
Speaker 11: I'm going to pick them up. My float into shore
Speaker 11: down the island.
Speaker 2: What will you do with them?
Speaker 11: What I mean, well, delicious delicious salamis yeah.
Speaker 2: People people like they say the salami is good, okay,
Speaker 2: will you make that yourself?
Speaker 17: Now?
Speaker 11: You do like a butcher. And the last one that
Speaker 11: we've seen and a half kilograms of Canada of goose
Speaker 11: breast and seven and a half kilograms of here. He
Speaker 11: had a port fit to give consistency, and he fit
Speaker 11: bigger as well. And the spices I got and he
Speaker 11: read wine and garlic mild garlic to make to make
Speaker 11: a bit stronger chrisa which I actually put espicially and
Speaker 11: so got forty one fifteen.
Speaker 2: Inch SLAMI which way does the money flow? Does he
Speaker 2: keeps some fro himself with just cash.
Speaker 11: It's a legitimate business transation that she just bulls me.
Speaker 11: I just plaim okay. And then the realtives mostly what.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'll tell you what the thing about t salami.
Speaker 2: I've been quite often given venison salami and stuff like
Speaker 2: that from people for trades and things like that. It's
Speaker 2: quite often currency down south, but very easy to wait.
Speaker 11: Oh delicious, this is absolutely delicious as always you go,
Speaker 11: so I people.
Speaker 2: Don't know cooking or anything, and just chump away and
Speaker 2: it can't.
Speaker 7: You yep, yep.
Speaker 11: And also we had this share today where helps made
Speaker 11: a casserole kind of thing Edson Caruso some army This
Speaker 11: is a casse role and a mixer room with another
Speaker 11: type of met I can't remember what that was, and
Speaker 11: it came out delicious. But that's not the important thing.
Speaker 11: The important thing is actually duck shooting season. And so
Speaker 11: we're allowed to shoot pretty goes now. And I've put
Speaker 11: up a Facebook paste on my Facebook paste you get
Speaker 11: at an hour, and I'm getting slammed by people pretty case,
Speaker 11: my god, terrible, but they make great difference. Well because
Speaker 11: they're lovely reading.
Speaker 2: Me soon on you you're getting slammed by shooting them
Speaker 2: and people saying they shouldn't shoot them.
Speaker 11: Well, people don't know that it between a endemic native,
Speaker 11: a self introduced native again boy and a pest animal.
Speaker 11: And so people are saying, oh, you're shooting our native
Speaker 11: pretty gooes. Well no, we're not really shooting nati. And
Speaker 11: so we're shoot not shooting endemic booky gas because endemic
Speaker 11: pricky guess indemic us pick a swamp hen they were
Speaker 11: self introduced into a thousand years ago as a self
Speaker 11: introduced bird. You can become a native of this country
Speaker 11: to have people who travel and and so you've got
Speaker 11: other self introduced birds that people call native, but they're
Speaker 11: self introduced. We have intimate for this and of course
Speaker 11: the endemic theres are the lower the kiir, the paka
Speaker 11: poe who instage bird things like that, and so those
Speaker 11: are endemic. It means only found in the country in
Speaker 11: that country, so only found in New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Ind I think people are probably sur surprised that a
Speaker 2: lot of people be surprised. You can hunt? Have you
Speaker 2: always been a hunt? Pooky go.
Speaker 11: Thus a self introduced slash native bird because they've been
Speaker 11: here for a hundred years. But they're also a game bird.
Speaker 11: There are a game bird the same as a mallard
Speaker 11: duck as a game bird, a pheasant or the other
Speaker 11: native bird accord it animal, self induced or native. The
Speaker 11: paradise duck so and the black swan, the blacks one
Speaker 11: is also a game bird. So whilst pooky a self
Speaker 11: introduced native, they are also a game bird. And that
Speaker 11: game breed regiusly managed by fishing game season starting and
Speaker 11: now it goes through this something like August I think
Speaker 11: it is. And so you can legally shoot pookys now
Speaker 11: during the hours of daylight and only with the shotgun.
Speaker 11: In the world of flying, it's all on your duck period.
Speaker 11: You're going to you're going to get a pyramid froist
Speaker 11: and but shoe.
Speaker 2: Just back to my question, and I've talked about people's
Speaker 2: reaction to have you always been able to shoot pokicko
Speaker 2: during the duk season?
Speaker 11: I hid the action the duck season. Somebody who has
Speaker 11: been a historic ductaty for fifty years. We had to
Speaker 11: answer that because.
Speaker 2: I always think it was quite a real you know,
Speaker 2: I think the whole the pokio used to be quite
Speaker 2: a beloved bird until people realized that it was just
Speaker 2: a swamp hen and I think probably still people are
Speaker 2: still realizing that. And yeah, I know, I know, I
Speaker 2: knew they flew over here because they found them in
Speaker 2: the Kumadic Islands or something. They found that kind of
Speaker 2: some of the staging posts along the way.
Speaker 11: I ivery country in the world. Here the swampion, and
Speaker 11: we've got something here called the speel wing clever or
Speaker 11: just clever, and that's another bird that has reached native
Speaker 11: species status because it's self introduced by from Australia again,
Speaker 11: and it's a horrible little bird.
Speaker 2: Quite like this, I quite like the spurring clover.
Speaker 11: Well you obviously haven't looked at the spears on their
Speaker 11: wings like cause horrible, it's horrible, horrible.
Speaker 2: The other thing, the other thing I'm not worrying about,
Speaker 2: not worrying about, but wondering about self introduced is the
Speaker 2: spoon bill, which are crepping cropping up every around South
Speaker 2: and they're self introduced, and they seem to already be
Speaker 2: making they seem to be liking it here and really
Speaker 2: making a good go of it.
Speaker 11: It beautiful.
Speaker 2: They're like a white here, and aren't they they're not
Speaker 2: my capitilla. I think that's stupid, big. I don't like them,
Speaker 2: but they're everywhere.
Speaker 11: I'd never harm one, right, And so we've got we
Speaker 11: don't hear screwing bows on the game berard register, but
Speaker 11: what we used to hear on the game very register,
Speaker 11: which was introduced by humans by early settlers. Now I
Speaker 11: was back with pheasant, the gray duck, I think much.
Speaker 11: And also Canadian geese. Canadian geese were introduced as a
Speaker 11: game board. It was just a question you asked me
Speaker 11: about we're the pookiker have always been on a register,
Speaker 11: and I don't know the asked for it, but you
Speaker 11: of the geese have always been on the register. It
Speaker 11: was since they were introduced in nineteen oh five. Then
Speaker 11: they realized that game license recreational hunting for six weeks
Speaker 11: or two months of the year, we're not gonn have
Speaker 11: to keep Canada geese under control, and they bring politically
Speaker 11: rights and so they would take it off the game
Speaker 11: Boy register in two thousand limbs. So Canada geese are
Speaker 11: no longer a game boot as an official piss lot
Speaker 11: of possible as they have fallen through a crack. But
Speaker 11: you can shoot Canada giesst any time of the day
Speaker 11: or night using any co weapon where they're walking around site,
Speaker 11: on the water or flying, and you can shoot them
Speaker 11: twenty five day seven those week, what three hundred and
Speaker 11: sixty five days of a year. They don't have a season.
Speaker 11: They're just a pissed animal, but they're not a Disney pissed.
Speaker 11: And also Doc calls him a bird of interest or
Speaker 11: a useless so that's a CREDI word for visional Council.
Speaker 2: I'm going to live with the is shoe. But that great, Salama.
Speaker 2: I know you want toalk at the gun register and
Speaker 2: I just want to keep it moving along a bit tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying we're opposed to that, but I found
Speaker 2: what you said about pukacs for interesting and people opposed
Speaker 2: to the shooting of those, so thank you for that, Hugh.
Speaker 2: There is a lovely woman that emails me all the time.
Speaker 2: She's done it for years, and the name is k
Speaker 2: k of Karor and she always scientist texts, love each other.
Speaker 2: There's Jesus, but she's really duty. But anyway, she's just
Speaker 2: emailed Marcus Strange, just into you during the day. Thanks
Speaker 2: for keeping me company. I've finished walking the Camino of
Speaker 2: a few hours in Madrid before a flight to Morocco
Speaker 2: this evening. That's from K. Well done, Kay, jealous, envious
Speaker 2: and excited for you to have done that. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2: So she's been heating me over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure where she's been. I I don't
Speaker 2: know what age bracket K would be in, but I
Speaker 2: think she probably would be what's hard to guess, but
Speaker 2: I think that's probably a bucketless thing for her. So
Speaker 2: I'm excited about that too. When you go that's k
Speaker 2: go ukay brilliant. She'm excited to be over there for
Speaker 2: that going on too anyway, get in touch. My name
Speaker 2: is Marcus. Welcome het Tel, twelve Burgers and sitting next
Speaker 2: to a people on planes? Anything else you want to
Speaker 2: talk about and CVS And I did ask a question
Speaker 2: before which kind of slipped away, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: re ask it because it's important when you chip your windscreen,
Speaker 2: and I probably do two a year. Yeah, that's strange story.
Speaker 2: It's that bluff road. It's all the curves anyway. So
Speaker 2: when you get the chip, can you go and get
Speaker 2: temporary stickers to stop it growing so it can still
Speaker 2: be filled? I kind of seem to have heard about that.
Speaker 2: Or should you check it in straight away before you've
Speaker 2: done the insurance protest? It seems like such a waste
Speaker 2: of glass, doesn't it. Mine is probably on the cusp
Speaker 2: of being the size of a two dollar coin. I
Speaker 2: always have many discussions with my partner about windscreens, and
Speaker 2: she always thinks that they come from cars going the
Speaker 2: other way. I think she's probably right. Well, that was
Speaker 2: the situation that case going through a fifty k zone
Speaker 2: with a car coming quite quickly the other way? Was
Speaker 2: I doing fifty? About? Probably sixty maybe, but yeah, fifty.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I would have been doing. But
Speaker 2: it's annoying, isn't it? Owner, because you're never going to
Speaker 2: check it in and blah blah blah. Anyway, that's me
Speaker 2: if you want to talk about that. Also, that would
Speaker 2: be a huge amount of interest to me, and normally
Speaker 2: if it's interest to me, it might be of interest
Speaker 2: to some others. Did you read this story about the
Speaker 2: woman that was at the dangers thrashing around in pain,
Speaker 2: which you can't read much. They don't like a bad
Speaker 2: dentist story anyhow, he tel twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 2: There's something different. You want to check into the chuck
Speaker 2: into the old conversation hot pot, Get in touch, oh,
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty, get in touch here till
Speaker 2: twelve o'clock, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. And Trump's done
Speaker 2: the big trade deal today too. Donald Trump has blinked,
Speaker 2: say analysts, I don't know what that means. It's China
Speaker 2: got the better side of the deal. I guess it'd
Speaker 2: be much analyst done much analysis done on that you
Speaker 2: met Marcus.
Speaker 5: Welcome, how it's gone, Marcus wanting to talk about wind screen?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Great, Thank you appreciate your wisdom on this topic. Thanks
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 5: You can buy the self kits really from yeah repkit.
Speaker 5: They're really easy to use.
Speaker 2: I wonder how hard it was. I wondered how hard
Speaker 2: it would be. It must just be a filler. A.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a filler.
Speaker 5: And they've got this little suction kits and you put
Speaker 5: over your crack and they've got a razor and everything
Speaker 5: with the kits and yeah, like then you put the
Speaker 5: filler in in this twist thing and you put pressure
Speaker 5: on it and it puts pressure on the crack into
Speaker 5: your wind screen. But they're really easy to do yourself.
Speaker 5: If it's a pretty basic crack, you know, like.
Speaker 2: A what's what's the what's the suction thing?
Speaker 5: So there's like four suction cups and you put the
Speaker 5: placement thing on top of where the crackers. Then you
Speaker 5: put filler into the cavity and.
Speaker 11: The thing.
Speaker 6: Just for the crack.
Speaker 2: You're just cutting out of it.
Speaker 16: There.
Speaker 2: I heard cavity that I heard nothing are.
Speaker 5: Y yep one there is a black spot.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty fast. I've heard four. I've
Speaker 2: heard four such cups.
Speaker 5: Then what four suction cups and then there's a cavity
Speaker 5: where you put your filler, and then there's a screw
Speaker 5: top that you put on on top puts pressure the
Speaker 5: fill into your crack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so the four suction cups hold up a
Speaker 2: hard material and the screw comes out of there, I presume,
Speaker 2: is that right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's two bits of the piece, but they're real cheap.
Speaker 5: They're like forty dollars from Repco or whatever, and they've
Speaker 5: got all the instructions on there to do it yourself.
Speaker 5: And then you let it set, take off the suction cup,
Speaker 5: then you get the razor and make sure it's all
Speaker 5: level on your wind screen.
Speaker 2: Well, there'd be the fun part. I'll see if I
Speaker 2: can see the kit how it works. So it's how
Speaker 2: long have they been around.
Speaker 5: They've been around for a while. I've been using them
Speaker 5: for like over ten years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Is it because you don't get win you
Speaker 2: don't get windscreen insurance? Is that right?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I just find that it works and
Speaker 5: once you get a crack and you get onto it
Speaker 5: straight away. Then you know, Bob's your uncle. You can
Speaker 5: fix it yourself.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm looking at the four stickers. It looks like
Speaker 2: it looks like a space lending craft, doesn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: such a feat Yeah okay, yep.
Speaker 5: Both are the ones, so they work quite well.
Speaker 2: And then what's the minimum size of the crack? The
Speaker 2: maximum size?
Speaker 5: I would say only for the smaller chips that haven't
Speaker 5: led to like massive cracks in your windscreen, I'd recommend.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think, yeah, okay, I appreciate that. That's really helpful, Matt,
Speaker 2: Thank you, very helpful. Person says you get a booklet
Speaker 2: of stickers from Smith and Smith. That's my knee, just
Speaker 2: a little bit of the dashy and just put those
Speaker 2: over and get a chip. I guess it stops that. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: thank you, Lee, that's nice. Nine to ten high Caroline,
Speaker 2: it's Marcus. Welcome, Oh.
Speaker 9: Caroline, self compel to pick the sign up. We actually
Speaker 9: have an ause Rise dealerships for Smith and Smith's and
Speaker 9: have been appearing repairing windscreens and replacing them for many
Speaker 9: years now. Yees, you can get the little stickers and
Speaker 9: what they're designed to do is just keep the moisture
Speaker 9: and dirt out until such time as you can get
Speaker 9: the chip repaired, and it just results in the better job.
Speaker 2: So they don't they don't stop the stick, they don't
Speaker 2: stop the crack from spreading. No, that's interesting, okay, So
Speaker 2: just keep dirt and the water out to stop it freezing.
Speaker 9: Or something, and you just you get much better repair.
Speaker 9: So we hand them out every time we do a
Speaker 9: windscreen or a chip repair, and it's just just a
Speaker 9: little band aid until.
Speaker 2: They're not as useful as I thought they would be. Hey,
Speaker 2: what happens to the old What happens to all the
Speaker 2: old windscreens?
Speaker 9: They actually get recycled, so we have as many coming
Speaker 9: into the workshop is going out. So they come in
Speaker 9: for most days and the ones from the day before
Speaker 9: sort of go out the following day just on the
Speaker 9: return treate service and they recycled, they go back to
Speaker 9: the distribution center in Auckland.
Speaker 2: They've got they're complicated now. They've got leaminade layers and all.
Speaker 9: Sorts of stuff, laminated layers, and many of them have
Speaker 9: camera systems or the mounting sort of block for camera
Speaker 9: systems in them as well, So there's probably a little
Speaker 9: bit of deconstruction that goes on. I'm not sure about that,
Speaker 9: but I think majority of the windscreens throughout the network
Speaker 9: are recycled.
Speaker 2: Now, Caroline, do you know, do you notice when there
Speaker 2: is a major road repair work going on that you'll
Speaker 2: get a lot more windscreen? Think about it, doesn't it?
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, it's we've just sort of coming to the
Speaker 9: tail end. I guess the peak windscreen season for us,
Speaker 9: and some days, you know, sort of during February and March,
Speaker 9: we were sort of taking or at least sort of
Speaker 9: thirty thirty jobs a day at least. Well, okay, yeah,
Speaker 9: it's been a very big season.
Speaker 2: Actually works, and tell me there must be it must be,
Speaker 2: it must be. It must be a real hussle getting
Speaker 2: them all delivered. Are there are there warehouses of a
Speaker 2: wide variety of windsprings all around the country.
Speaker 9: Because of so many different makes and models. We're affiliated
Speaker 9: with the Smith and Smith Network, so they actually have
Speaker 9: a distribution ware house in Auckland that they supply all
Speaker 9: the North Island branches and authorized dealers with. And yeah,
Speaker 9: they have a very large inventory there and on the
Speaker 9: rare occasion that they don't have something, then there's other
Speaker 9: windscreen supplies that they can source class.
Speaker 2: From their own trucks.
Speaker 9: No, no, they use freight services, different setups depending where
Speaker 9: they're going.
Speaker 2: I find that quite fascinating, Caroline. But this book to
Speaker 2: stickers and I appreciate it. Thank you five from ten
Speaker 2: met Marcus.
Speaker 8: Welcome say that Marcus.
Speaker 18: Yeah, good yourself.
Speaker 11: How are you doing?
Speaker 2: Very good? Thanks?
Speaker 18: Good flush ta'll hear from You're welcome. Yeah, thank you,
Speaker 18: thank you. I was just actually you just still get
Speaker 18: people's opinion about, you know, duck hunting. And I was
Speaker 18: just curious the other day because near my house there's
Speaker 18: a water stream and a lot of ducks there, and
Speaker 18: people like I was researching this on the internet and
Speaker 18: came across that ducks are actually a career or equal
Speaker 18: I virus or like equal I. Yeah, it's like a
Speaker 18: I think it's a virus itself, Yeah, which can actually
Speaker 18: be it's harmful for human beings, just like you know.
Speaker 18: So I suppose it's a good thing that you know,
Speaker 18: they get if too many of ducks, they can pollute
Speaker 18: the water as well, and you know, we get all
Speaker 18: the water supply coming in and all that. So I
Speaker 18: think it could be a good thing to do duck hunting.
Speaker 18: But I'm actually curious to know more about what people
Speaker 18: think about it as well.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you cool at Thanks so much for that. Marcus.
Speaker 2: You can stop doing water to go into the chip
Speaker 2: and the winder. The water can crack, freeze and crack
Speaker 2: the windscreen further. Won a hot on a hot day,
Speaker 2: don't close your doors out the windows open. The pressure
Speaker 2: could crack the windows further. I fixed windscreens for a
Speaker 2: long time. The suction cups suck water and dirt out
Speaker 2: before you inject the resin. Welcome people. My name is Marcus.
Speaker 2: Good evening. How I hope you're good? Are hettel twelve?
Speaker 2: No surprise is there? I don't know why I say
Speaker 2: it because I'm always hitdled twelve. Maybe should just say
Speaker 2: when I'm not hitdled twelve? When will that be? I
Speaker 2: wonder romance from Midnight.
Speaker 13: Brilliant.
Speaker 2: We're talking about wind screens. Didn't know you could fix
Speaker 2: your own. That's interesting, isn't it? Mind you? It's probably
Speaker 2: a bit like replacing your own cell phone screen. You
Speaker 2: can do it, but also there are things that can
Speaker 2: go wrong. But do get in touch. My name as
Speaker 2: Marcus Hittle twelve. What we have talked about to that
Speaker 2: mainly kind of mainly the rise of the chicken burger
Speaker 2: when they're come such a good thing or a big thing.
Speaker 2: Although deep fried, of course, So what's that about. I
Speaker 2: don't know why chicken needs to be deep fried for burgers.
Speaker 2: There must be other delicious ways to cook it. I
Speaker 2: just don't know what they are. Well, of course, two
Speaker 2: big Rooster. I think Big Rooster was rotissary. Big Rooster
Speaker 2: and Homestead were rotistry cooked, weren't they. You wonder why
Speaker 2: no one's come back with a rotisserie kind of a
Speaker 2: big rotisserie way of cooking chickens and putting them in
Speaker 2: burgers and stuff like that. I'd be of interest to that.
Speaker 2: I'd be interested to find out about that. So that's
Speaker 2: what we've talked about. And number plate not number plates, windscreens,
Speaker 2: old big rooster. Was it called big rooster? Was it
Speaker 2: called red rooster? It mightn't be called red rooster. I
Speaker 2: can't remember now, was it red rooster or big rooster?
Speaker 2: If I'm confused with that one. I think it's called
Speaker 2: big rooster, and I think it was actually rotisserid I
Speaker 2: think I'm right, And if I'm not right, someone I'm
Speaker 2: sure we'll ring up and tell me was it rotesrid
Speaker 2: or barbecue? I think it's the same thing. Well, of
Speaker 2: course there's nandos, isn't it. That's not deep fry. That's
Speaker 2: why that's so successful. But they always seen to have
Speaker 2: trouble with the franchises. It's a great one to NEEDN.
Speaker 2: But now it's closed, delicious. Have you sat next to
Speaker 2: anyone exciting on a plane or your great plane conversations,
Speaker 2: or the most interesting person you've met sitting next to
Speaker 2: on a plane, you might have married them. I always
Speaker 2: think it's kind of like airplane. It's like airplane. Oh now,
Speaker 2: I'm going to think of a word here. It's like airplane.
Speaker 2: What's the thing when you no, let me think of this.
Speaker 2: It's like conversation roulette when you start, because if you
Speaker 2: if you picked the wrong conversation with the wrong person,
Speaker 2: you stuff for them the whole journey, you think, Hector,
Speaker 2: it's free hard to get out of a conversation on
Speaker 2: a plane. You can't with that. Actually, I'm sick of you.
Speaker 2: You got to sort of quite see, Oh you guys,
Speaker 2: so quietly we're talking. Then quietly pick up the in
Speaker 2: flight magazine, just looking then suddenly you look for Actually,
Speaker 2: this looks a bit of hang on, I'm going to
Speaker 2: read this and there the but let you're out of it.
Speaker 2: Very hard thing to do. One of the great skills
Speaker 2: of all time is to get yourself out of a
Speaker 2: phone conversation aeroplane conversation. So that might be something we
Speaker 2: could talk about also tonight. But get in touch here
Speaker 2: till twelve moneamers Market's welcome. Enjoyed it so far? Yeah,
Speaker 2: people have it funny about people who have a cook
Speaker 2: I don't know you could shoot pooky coos. Was it
Speaker 2: big rooster or a red rooster? I think it was
Speaker 2: a big rooster. Someone says via text it's read, it's big,
Speaker 2: it's read. I think it was big rooster. At the
Speaker 2: same time there was also homestead. I never mind a
Speaker 2: nostalgia argument, So it doesn't really matter, does it. I
Speaker 2: think it was big rooster. No, maybe it was red rooster.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was big rooster, then read rooster. I think
Speaker 2: it was big rooster, then red rooster. I think the
Speaker 2: big rooster was in the seventies and the red rooster
Speaker 2: was in the two thousandths. Anyway, I'm arguing with myself here.
Speaker 2: But if you want to at these things that there's
Speaker 2: something different you want to talk about too. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: fairly relax go who stayed about conversations, So it'd be
Speaker 2: nice to hear from you. I know you probably don't
Speaker 2: all follow the NRL religiously, but I watch it because
Speaker 2: it's not at work, and I catch the matches because
Speaker 2: I might as well look at something when i'm on
Speaker 2: the radio. And I've become interested as a result because
Speaker 2: of that. But what happened? Is it Penrith who have
Speaker 2: won it three or four times in a row, maybe
Speaker 2: at three times, maybe it's four times? Is it three times?
Speaker 2: They go for a four peat. They might have run
Speaker 2: it three times or four times, I can't remember anyway.
Speaker 2: They are the bottom and they're in Queensland playing one
Speaker 2: of the Queensland teams. I think it was the Cowboys
Speaker 2: or the Titans, I can't remember which, and it was
Speaker 2: thirty all they went to Golden Point and that means
Speaker 2: you got fifteen minutes each way. I feel that sounds
Speaker 2: like it's too many. They've won it last four times consecutively,
Speaker 2: so they're going for the five times in a row.
Speaker 2: So four times. But they're at the bottom right, And
Speaker 2: then what happened? They got the kickoff for golden goal,
Speaker 2: for the sudden death golden goal, and they've found their
Speaker 2: trainer on the field squirting a slippery liquid on the
Speaker 2: ball to make it difficult to catch. Yeah, not good,
Speaker 2: is it anyway? Denise, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 19: Hello Marcus. It's definitely red rooster?
Speaker 2: Could it be both?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 19: I haven't heard a big rooster, but I've definitely heard
Speaker 19: a red rooster.
Speaker 2: But how long ago was red rooster?
Speaker 19: Oh? I don't actually no, but I think it's been.
Speaker 19: It's been a ramp for quite some time.
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's still here, is it?
Speaker 19: I don't know. I've never I've never eaten it, so
Speaker 19: I don't know. But I've seen it and i've dropped
Speaker 19: it up as well.
Speaker 2: So how come because you've come through quite strong saying
Speaker 2: it's definitely something. But you didn't work there or something,
Speaker 2: did you?
Speaker 20: Oh?
Speaker 19: No, No, But I think if I remember rightly, I
Speaker 19: think I saw it in Australia.
Speaker 2: Yes, but we're talking about what it was called here.
Speaker 19: I thought it was read rooster. If you were I don't.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, I don't know it.
Speaker 19: I'm pretty sure it's not the rooster.
Speaker 2: I can visualize big rooster though. You Yeah, but but
Speaker 2: my mind might be playing tricks on me. But you know,
Speaker 2: because I think you can misremember things.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you do. Yeah, I've definitely seen red rooster though,
Speaker 19: have you?
Speaker 11: Yep? Yep?
Speaker 19: And I think I might have been in Australia. Yeah,
Speaker 19: I don't think i've seen it here.
Speaker 2: No, it's certainly in Australia, but we are. Okay, but when.
Speaker 20: You're right with a we call of that.
Speaker 19: I don't really know and whether it's still going to
Speaker 19: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's definitely big rooster.
Speaker 19: Okay, okay, but you could be right. I mean, as
Speaker 19: I said, yeah, it could be an Australia with red rooster,
Speaker 19: but it could be something else said. It's a bit
Speaker 19: like having hungry Jack, doesn't it that we don't have that?
Speaker 2: No, I wonder when we're going to get hungry Jack.
Speaker 2: It'll be exciting. Yeah, I often wonder when we're gonna
Speaker 2: get hungry Jacks. I'm joking. I feel we've done the
Speaker 2: big rooster read a rooster argument before. Actually, but I
Speaker 2: think we had red rooster. I think we had big rooster.
Speaker 2: We had red rooster. I think there's one of the
Speaker 2: old big roosters in Arthur Street and Ornie Hunger that
Speaker 2: still looks like a big rooster. I think now an
Speaker 2: appliance store, isn't it. You remember that an Orni Hunger. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've seen it, big rooster. I forget where it was,
Speaker 2: but I think now it's an appliance store. Definitely read rooster. Well,
Speaker 2: it's definitely big rooster. Marcus. KFC doesn't accomplish. They get
Speaker 2: rid of them. Marcus, red rooster and it was barbecue chicken.
Speaker 2: Well maybe it was a big rooster. Then read rooster, Marcus.
Speaker 2: You can't beat a brand new windscreenter windscreen aways get
Speaker 2: the point after you about a year where it's pitted,
Speaker 2: never wipes properly. I have glass covermine insurance. Even the
Speaker 2: smorts crak of my woodscreen makes want to take it
Speaker 2: to the hammer just so that will be replaced and
Speaker 2: rather fix the chips. Good evening, Clive, this is Marcus.
Speaker 17: Welcome yeah home, Marcus. It's definitely red rooster in New Zealand,
Speaker 17: and it was back in the nineteen seventies and it
Speaker 17: was gone by the two thousands.
Speaker 2: Do you think you might have misremembered.
Speaker 17: That no, because they used to have a red shop
Speaker 17: and top of Ony Hanger, and we used to go there,
Speaker 17: my wife and I and the kids, and we'd buy
Speaker 17: the rotisserie chicken, and then we'd go up to Jellico
Speaker 17: Park and divide the chicken up, sit down and have
Speaker 17: a picnic, divide the chicken up, and then the kids
Speaker 17: could play on the swings and slides. And it's definitely
Speaker 17: red rooster.
Speaker 2: Okay, because I'm going to push back on that.
Speaker 17: I knew you would. Yeah, I decided That's why I
Speaker 17: decided to to ring you because I know it's definitely
Speaker 17: red Rooster. I don't know where you got big Rooster from.
Speaker 17: You must have one of those at home and you've
Speaker 17: been chasing it.
Speaker 2: According to the Wisest Directory, right in nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 2: there were Big Rooster barbecue chicken outlets at Getters Street, Parnell,
Speaker 2: Arthur Street, orn He Hunger one seven to one, Green
Speaker 2: Lane Road, Green Lane three three five nine Lake Road, Takapoona.
Speaker 2: There was also a Red Rooster Chicken parlor at one
Speaker 2: eighth nine Great North Road, Avondale, and a Red Rooster
Speaker 2: takeaway at four to two three Richardson Road. So it
Speaker 2: seems that for a while there was both big rooster
Speaker 2: and red rooster.
Speaker 17: Yeah, well, the one I used to go to. I'm
Speaker 17: positive so is red rooster, because these were painted red
Speaker 17: to emphasize the red rooster, just like the warehouse came
Speaker 17: out and was read.
Speaker 2: But they might have been painted like that to emphasize
Speaker 2: the big rooster is also yeah, okay, okay, I don't
Speaker 2: know if I want to dine a ditch about a battle,
Speaker 2: I have a big rooster, red rooster, definitely. Red rooster
Speaker 2: is in was won by us on Richardson Road, nev.
Speaker 2: But I think red rooster came differently. Marcus, it's red rooster,
Speaker 2: cording to Google opening two thousand and four clothes in
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, Marcus Hungry Jacks is Burger King
Speaker 2: of New Zealand. Same thing. There we go. Marcus I
Speaker 2: lived in the in the Middle East. They had Kenny
Speaker 2: Rogers Roasters chicken franchise. Marcus I was on a flight
Speaker 2: from Munich to Manchester and didn't exchange word with the
Speaker 2: young men sit next to me, which is okay. However,
Speaker 2: the landing gear couldn't engage, so the flight diverted to
Speaker 2: Birmingham in case of crash landing plane had to circle
Speaker 2: around for ages to burn fuel. The young men and
Speaker 2: I sheared we were traveling and family and calm the nerves.
Speaker 2: Plane landed. Okay, you run and relieved. A strange experience.
Speaker 2: Red rooster, big rooster. But people are so adamant, aren't they?
Speaker 2: Definitely big rooster to read rooster f in my backyard
Speaker 2: trying to make out lost my senses. Yes, that's right, Jason,
Speaker 2: I've seen that image. To thank you for that big rooster.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 11: For a.
Speaker 2: Barbecue chicken franchise from the seventies, the big rooster labeling
Speaker 2: still looks and the whole franchise still looks free contemporary
Speaker 2: if you may. Hi, Cameron, it's Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 4: And you just sort of and who for him and
Speaker 4: his wife had gone to Australia for a week's holiday
Speaker 4: and on the way home they were discussing with my
Speaker 4: next time about the you're a different the New Zealand
Speaker 4: cricketers do well?
Speaker 2: Came, Oh yeah, can you get your phone line is terrible?
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, I had about flying to Australia about cricketers. Yes, yep.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 4: So my friends said, you know, getting the guy. I said, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: my friends and I'd been talking to him for an
Speaker 4: hour on the plane and said to him, you know,
Speaker 4: did you go to the cricket You know I was there.
Speaker 4: I was there, and you consider it's coming in anji event.
Speaker 4: And he had been sitting next to Ross Taylor for
Speaker 4: an hour.
Speaker 2: Yeahs humbling enough not to say anything. I appreciate Cavin
Speaker 2: s you're live with that's God.
Speaker 17: Thank you.
Speaker 21: A hello, oh hello, you are right about the chicken
Speaker 21: there nineteen seventy five. I've googled it. In nineteen seventy eight,
Speaker 21: there were big roosters, barbecued chicken outlets at Parnell Getto Street,
Speaker 21: Arthur Street only hunger one said, one Green Lane Road,
Speaker 21: Green Lane, Takapoona. And there was also red Rooster Chicken
Speaker 21: Parlor at Great North Road, Evandale, mid Rooster takeaways at
Speaker 21: Richardson Road, Mount Roscoe. There's been others before or after
Speaker 21: nineteen seventy eight in Auckland area, and there's heaps of them.
Speaker 21: I googled it and you get these other chicken faces
Speaker 21: called two chicken spot restaurants as well. One on Great
Speaker 21: South Road Techanini, and another one in pepper Tooey Toey
Speaker 21: another one called Delicious Chicken. There's lots of different ones around,
Speaker 21: being around in this way back in the time.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I appreciate that to Anne and apparently according
Speaker 2: to a Wikipedia, Big Rooster started in Queensland in the
Speaker 2: seventies and was the second largest chicken chain in the country. However,
Speaker 2: Big Roosters Australian locations were all brought out by Coles Meyer,
Speaker 2: owner of competitor Red Rooster. In nine eighty six and
Speaker 2: ninety two they were rebranded a Red Rooster, and the
Speaker 2: only surviving Big Rooster are the ones in Papua New Guinea.
Speaker 2: There we go. In the mid seventies, best friends and
Speaker 2: business partners Nick Tarner and Steve Fire started a Big Rooster.
Speaker 2: Its slogan was what's the time, It's Big Rooster time,
Speaker 2: and TV advertisements featured the jingle I'd rather have a
Speaker 2: sunny day and I'd rather have Big Rooster. I'd rather
Speaker 2: have the Queensland Way and I'd rather have Big Rooster.
Speaker 8: There we go.
Speaker 2: When KFC opened in City and sixty out at Spearheaded
Speaker 2: Americans Fast Food of production with its growth was curtailed
Speaker 2: by the swift development of Big Rooster and the Western
Speaker 2: Australian based Red Rooster. So there we go, gets complicated.
Speaker 2: So there was a Big Rooster and there was Red Rooster,
Speaker 2: and one took over the other. And Stegles owned Big Rooster,
Speaker 2: and that's of course the sponsors of the Chocks in
Speaker 2: the NRL. Since all Big Roosters in Australia have become
Speaker 2: Red Roosters, the brand has been erased from the country.
Speaker 2: Over The chain contes drop Point and part On New Guinea. Yes,
Speaker 2: in fact, the Koch branch was ransacked and burnt down
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four riots. Big Rooster sells barbecue, chicken,
Speaker 2: fried chicken, and fish rolls and burgers and also banana
Speaker 2: fritters and P ANDG. Sounds delicious. That covers that up
Speaker 2: most of it, doesn't it. Well, there you go, interesting
Speaker 2: kind of Big Rooster Red Rooster. I wonder why it
Speaker 2: wasn't what it was called Big Rooster while we're talking
Speaker 2: about it, Who knows? Who knows which has the most
Speaker 2: restaurants both across your old and globally, KFC with Donald's,
Speaker 2: Hungry Jacks or Pizza Good question because I'm in bed
Speaker 2: with a stomach full of pork, but now I'm wanting chicken,
Speaker 2: even it's a rooster. Do roosters taste different? I don't
Speaker 2: know the answer to that. I presume most of the
Speaker 2: chickens we eat chickens, not roosters.
Speaker 5: Is that right?
Speaker 2: No idea what the answer is to that, because I
Speaker 2: presume a big rooster. There are many chickens. Now, some
Speaker 2: of the other stuff you might want to talk about
Speaker 2: tonight that might take your fancy conversation wise, it's getting
Speaker 2: a plane from Qatar with four hundred million dollars there
Speaker 2: giving it to him says like that will end badly. Also,
Speaker 2: what else can I tell you? Oh, there's a boy
Speaker 2: racer crackdown? Anyone kind of I feel that boy Racis
Speaker 2: is kind of a thing of the past. Are the
Speaker 2: boy race is still driving people made? Because normally in
Speaker 2: this show you get a pretty good idea when things
Speaker 2: are going wrong. And I've never heard anyone going on
Speaker 2: about boy Racis, well, not for a long long time.
Speaker 2: The last time we talked about was in Hamilton, So
Speaker 2: that might be something that's you want to talk about.
Speaker 2: Wally twenty seven to ten. Wally good evening, good day.
Speaker 22: Here you go, good Wally.
Speaker 2: Are you going all right?
Speaker 22: Yeah, just come back from dancing.
Speaker 2: Brilliant ballroom rock and roll. Thought it might be sh
Speaker 2: good on.
Speaker 22: You, really good fun. Anyway. I used to make those
Speaker 22: rootisteries when I was living in Melbourne. Oh yeah, in
Speaker 22: nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2: So you made the actual rotissaries they went.
Speaker 22: On yep, and some of those big grotessteries. I hold
Speaker 22: eighty chickens.
Speaker 2: Wow, and it's just all on chains and slow driver,
Speaker 2: is it.
Speaker 22: Yeah. I used to do all the I made up
Speaker 22: all the gear. I made up all the frame and
Speaker 22: the gears that hold the spits. So I had ten
Speaker 22: spits and each spit had eight chickens on it. So
Speaker 22: as the chickens were going round, the whole thing was
Speaker 22: going round and the chicken was spinning at the same
Speaker 22: time as I was going round.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think I saw those, so they're.
Speaker 22: Going I used to wire up the wire into all
Speaker 22: the switches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of remember them. I can't could you
Speaker 2: see them in the shops? You could, could you?
Speaker 22: Yeah, there's a few over here back in the old days.
Speaker 2: And you take off the whole, the whole once the
Speaker 2: whole road would be cooked at the same time, wouldn't they.
Speaker 22: You take them more all off you Also, there was
Speaker 22: eight spits and those spits were rotating, but the whole
Speaker 22: thing was rotating at the same time.
Speaker 2: Yep, it was. It was kind of going up and
Speaker 2: then down. Was it in a big long cycle?
Speaker 22: It was like a big ring. Was like a ring here.
Speaker 2: How long did it take to cook a chicken?
Speaker 22: I don't know. I was making the making the and
Speaker 22: I used to weld up all the fat trays. It
Speaker 22: was all stainless steel welding. And we used to get
Speaker 22: a bonus we had got a certain amount of machines
Speaker 22: out like a month, we'd get a fifty dollars bonus,
Speaker 22: which was a bit of money.
Speaker 2: How do you do it?
Speaker 22: For probably about six months because I came back to
Speaker 22: live in New Zealand and they said, Wally, you ever
Speaker 22: come back here, there's a job waiting for you.
Speaker 2: You should go back the next week and see if
Speaker 2: their job still there.
Speaker 22: Is the name of the company with Seamack Electrics.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and how's you been doing? Siroc for a while.
Speaker 22: About two and a half years. I wish I'd taken
Speaker 22: up like ten or twenty years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh well, at least I've taken it out.
Speaker 22: I was just laughing for two hours. It's of fun
Speaker 22: peckering a bowling club on a Monday night.
Speaker 2: Brillian. A great shout out Wally and shout out to
Speaker 2: all the Sorocas out there people, Marcus, anyone got any
Speaker 2: feedback on the brunch club? Bottomless Brunches is an ever
Speaker 2: themed one coming up in Willington. I think the bottle
Speaker 2: of the bottom Bottomless Brunch is just like a and
Speaker 2: excuse to get drunk in the morning. I thought people.
Speaker 2: I thought they look quite reckless to me. I mean,
Speaker 2: it looks like a good idea. But I think a
Speaker 2: bottomless brunch has got You've got mimosas or something. Is
Speaker 2: that right, Marcus. I was in Australia for a couple
Speaker 2: of years the mid eighties, and well i'd red Rooster.
Speaker 2: Fast forward thirty years, returned to Australia, craving Red Rooster
Speaker 2: got to have it was terribly disappointing. Or maybe the
Speaker 2: palettes changed, or maybe the chickens changed. I don't really
Speaker 2: know what to say about red rooster or Big Rooster,
Speaker 2: but bearing in mind, so chickens were really expensive, right,
Speaker 2: and then they managed to factory found them, and suddenly
Speaker 2: the price came way way down. And so from sort
Speaker 2: of the seventies and eighties onwards, we were inundated with
Speaker 2: different ways to eat cheap chicken because beforehand it was
Speaker 2: always just mutton. So we all seemed so exotic the chicken,
Speaker 2: didn't it. Jeeps look at that going round and round
Speaker 2: with the potatoes. Anyway, So Trump's getting a new plane
Speaker 2: that it'll use as his presidential plane until shortly before
Speaker 2: he leaves office in January twenty twenty nine, when ownership
Speaker 2: will be transferred to the foundation overseeing as yet to
Speaker 2: be built Presdential Library. Yeah. Laura luma Afar, right ally
Speaker 2: of Trump said excepting Qatar's plane would be a stain
Speaker 2: on the administration and the guitar Fund. The Semaranean proxies
Speaker 2: and harmss and his below have murdered Jewish service members.
Speaker 2: The Democratics said the move was proof of Trump using
Speaker 2: the White House for personal financial gain, while Democratic rulemakers
Speaker 2: blasted the plan as wildly illegal and corruption and plane
Speaker 2: sight what happens to the old plane?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 2: By the way, I was seeing something today, reading something
Speaker 2: about airlines that still have seven four sevens. There aren't many,
Speaker 2: are there. Luftanza is the one. It's got about forty.
Speaker 2: I guess not of those have been converted to freight planes.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the remaining fleet, so yeah, that's quite I
Speaker 2: think there's four rearlines that's still flying in the Russians Luftanza.
Speaker 2: I forget who the others were, maybe Singapore air Lines
Speaker 2: as well. I guess people would go there deliberty to
Speaker 2: go on those flights. Now I'm waiting your calls if
Speaker 2: you've got something to say as you go through a
Speaker 2: bit of a change, a bit of a change of tone.
Speaker 2: If China's got them to enquiry an air I think
Speaker 2: that's the way Chag Will Charlie Sidney so good, amazing salads, chicken,
Speaker 2: not dry, Gwen. But sitting next to interesting people on
Speaker 2: planes is good for me. But yeah, you gotta be
Speaker 2: careful with the plague because honestly, if you get to
Speaker 2: strike the wrong conversation up with the wrong person, there
Speaker 2: could be your whole trip ruined. It's very hard to
Speaker 2: get out of a conversation.
Speaker 11: Yep.
Speaker 2: Now the other story too, you might have some opinion
Speaker 2: on it will be up to Transport Minister Chris Bishop
Speaker 2: to allow the public to weigh in on a potential
Speaker 2: toll on State Hiway won bypass, an idea the local
Speaker 2: mayor has concerned about. I don't fully know this one,
Speaker 2: but this is the one that goes through why make
Speaker 2: it Eddie? So that's a situation. I don't know how
Speaker 2: long the road is. It's a one billion dollar bypass.
Speaker 2: It could be the South Island's first toll road in
Speaker 2: almost fifty years. What was the last one? I'd like
Speaker 2: to know more about that. What would be the last
Speaker 2: toll road in the South Island was the Milford Road? Told, Oh,
Speaker 2: that's got me interested. What were the South Island toll roads?
Speaker 2: Good evening, Suet's Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.
Speaker 11: How are you good?
Speaker 17: Sue?
Speaker 2: How's yourself? All good?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Not too bad, not too bad at all. But it's
Speaker 10: just going to tell you about a very interesting flight
Speaker 10: I had many years ago.
Speaker 15: Now.
Speaker 10: It was a business flight. My friend and I Jeanine,
Speaker 10: or a colleague. We were flying from LA to Edmonton
Speaker 10: in Canada, and.
Speaker 19: We couldn't be seated together.
Speaker 10: And I had this really young nice guy and anyway,
Speaker 10: we're chepping away the whole flight and everything was fine.
Speaker 15: He was really.
Speaker 10: Interesting in New Zealand, and he never ever said who
Speaker 10: he was or what his name was. Anyway, when we
Speaker 10: got to the airport to get our suit cases, the
Speaker 10: man who was sitting next to Jeanine came up and
Speaker 10: he said, do you know who you're sitting next to him?
Speaker 10: I said now, I said, a really nice guy. Said
Speaker 10: he had great chats and he said, well, I suppose
Speaker 10: you wouldn't know because New Zealand you play rugby. I said, yes,
Speaker 10: that's right. He said, well, I'll tell you who are you?
Speaker 10: He said, I'm the television crew and we're filming him
Speaker 10: tonight because very last game playing for the Edmonton Oilers.
Speaker 10: And he said his name is Wane Gripsky.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 10: Wow, Yeah. He was amazing, really nice boss. Anyway, he said,
Speaker 10: he said, I've given tickets to Janine, so you and
Speaker 10: I you, you and herkson go to the game tonight.
Speaker 10: Have you ever seen nice coffee? I said never. So
Speaker 10: we went to the game, had amazing feats and after
Speaker 10: the game, they said, well, you know, why don't you come,
Speaker 10: We're going to have drinks at the nightclub.
Speaker 9: We're there.
Speaker 10: We're not for the night too, stupid old part from
Speaker 10: mu Zealand, and I have to go to this night
Speaker 10: club now I never get it. I've still got The
Speaker 10: shops were in like test tubes and they looked like
Speaker 10: egg yolks. In the name of the place is called
Speaker 10: Loose Goose.
Speaker 2: That was a real flashback shots and test tubes. That's
Speaker 2: a real old school.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I know, well it was.
Speaker 10: It was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: But what you are we talking nineties or.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it would have to be.
Speaker 19: I used to do it.
Speaker 10: Look well, we both said, we did a lot of
Speaker 10: traveling around. We were in the rag trade. Oh, you
Speaker 10: used to go to all the fashioned places. The reason
Speaker 10: for going to Edmonton they just opened the largest Edmonton mall.
Speaker 10: Was the largest in the world at that stage. Now
Speaker 10: it'll be kind of tiny. But it was just such
Speaker 10: a coincidence to be sitting next to this w famous
Speaker 10: ice hockey player. And when I got back, I was
Speaker 10: telling my kids about it. And then about four months
Speaker 10: later on TV, there used to be a program called
Speaker 10: mciva and m mciva had Wayne Gritsey on his program
Speaker 10: as a guest, and I said to Victim, that's who
Speaker 10: I sat next week, And you had no, just incredible.
Speaker 10: But you know, he didn't let on who he was
Speaker 10: or or anything. He was just a nice guy. And
Speaker 10: I was I was so impressed by him.
Speaker 2: Did he did? Did he come and talk to you
Speaker 2: at the loose Goose?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 10: Yet they did because they had the whole television sports
Speaker 10: crew were with them, and it was, you know, his
Speaker 10: kind of final rah, you know. In Edmonton, really God,
Speaker 10: there was a street named after me were we went.
Speaker 10: We then saw Wayne Gritsey.
Speaker 3: Wayne Gritsky, Is this a big deal?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's a free big deal.
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, but a really really nice guy. He really was.
Speaker 7: Yes, I don't even know.
Speaker 2: Anything about it. Edmondon's way up north, is it It's
Speaker 2: like in the middle of nowhere? Is that right?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 18: It is?
Speaker 10: And it was freezing flipping cold. There was snowhere everywhere
Speaker 10: and this more was enormous. They even had this great
Speaker 10: big ice skating rink inside it and everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: No, interesting.
Speaker 2: What was in the test tubes?
Speaker 10: I don't know, but it looks yellow, so it's meant
Speaker 10: to look like a brain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, clear, A vague memory of those. So that's
Speaker 2: an extremely good story. Still, I'm glad I asked the
Speaker 2: question thank you very much. That Oh great, keep it
Speaker 2: going eight nineteen ninety the text interesting aeroplane encounters. It
Speaker 2: seemed like a good job in the red trade, didn't it.
Speaker 2: Oh there was a very interesting question. I should have
Speaker 2: come up with it. Of course. The last told road
Speaker 2: on the South Island was the Littleton Tunnel sixty four
Speaker 2: to seventy eight, and it wasn't fifty years ago, it
Speaker 2: was forty seven years ago. So thanks for the people
Speaker 2: that texted that through. I found that interesting. Marcus took
Speaker 2: a plane from Sydney to Auckland about five years ago.
Speaker 2: Walking to my seat, I see a really buff looking
Speaker 2: guy with some serious tattoos in the seat next to me.
Speaker 2: I felt a bit intimidated. As I sat down, got
Speaker 2: chatting to him and we introduced ourselves. I asked him
Speaker 2: to repeat his first name and he said Israel. I said, wow,
Speaker 2: that's really your nique name. We chatted quite a bit
Speaker 2: on the floor of the Tasman. I still had no
Speaker 2: idea I sit next to Israel Adisanya or how famous
Speaker 2: he was, and I mentioned to a friend a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks later, brilliant, good evening, Brent, this is Marcus.
Speaker 13: Welcome yes, very good Martin tonight, sell into your shift.
Speaker 2: You're sun good form.
Speaker 3: Rent.
Speaker 13: How's your batteries going?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Still buy you charged up?
Speaker 2: Charged up? Locked and low? Do you want to know
Speaker 2: how much for cell? Phone's on? Not off?
Speaker 8: Another?
Speaker 2: I'm normally in the red.
Speaker 13: I know you've had a good you've had a cool night.
Speaker 13: It's a matter of Monday, so it's all good day.
Speaker 2: What do you got to say anything interesting?
Speaker 13: Yeah, batteries. My suggestion is for the garden operated machinery
Speaker 13: batteries is to store them into a steel box, away
Speaker 13: from everything. Locked them to steel box, getting individually away
Speaker 13: from everything, especially in the off season when it doesn't
Speaker 13: get used as much because they're just sitting an idol,
Speaker 13: so they don't actually can actually fault being not charged
Speaker 13: enough time.
Speaker 2: Sort of think we just while they catch fire.
Speaker 11: They do? They do.
Speaker 13: Yeah, A lot of a lot of tradees know that,
Speaker 13: and a lot of gardeners know that landscapers is just
Speaker 13: keep us separate away from everything and especially dead through
Speaker 13: the tour box. Still tour box, getting the chief of
Speaker 13: the warehouse by a team, separate from everything.
Speaker 2: Hood On the radio today they're advertising in South and
Speaker 2: not to put your batteries in your redburn. I guess
Speaker 2: that's causing the fires as well, the way people are
Speaker 2: disposing of them.
Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, if they think that's the ions. But those
Speaker 13: and those AA batteries and AAA batteries and they catching
Speaker 13: fire just have been individually by themselves. Then you've got
Speaker 13: this source of the garden machinery toll. So you've got
Speaker 13: to keep them away from everything too. So also themselves.
Speaker 2: Will the double A and triple a's, would they spontanely
Speaker 2: can bust when they're being crushed?
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I don't know the ins and outs of that.
Speaker 13: That could be something that happens with that's that's something
Speaker 13: you put it into a bag, you put into the
Speaker 13: into the bins, whether you keep holding them. There's times
Speaker 13: when kids actually have talked the toy boxes and you
Speaker 13: put them in the AA batteries and they've come to
Speaker 13: them into a toy and then they go into a
Speaker 13: into a plastic box. They're going to covered for a
Speaker 13: couple of years, and they do head up after a while.
Speaker 13: So it's good danger in that.
Speaker 2: I think I always sort with batteries left and toys.
Speaker 2: They always just leaked, don't they They go wet what
Speaker 2: happens to those kind of what's that called?
Speaker 13: That's idization? Is itation?
Speaker 2: Yes, something that we'll find out. Nice talking to you,
Speaker 2: Andrew Marcus. Welcome, Hi, How are you good? Andrew?
Speaker 20: First of all, I'd like to make a bit of
Speaker 20: a confession because the other night that you had you
Speaker 20: had some a discussion on things that you do, that
Speaker 20: you naughty things.
Speaker 4: That you do.
Speaker 20: Yes, yeah, well sometimes I have rung up and if
Speaker 20: accused too long to get on here, I'll hung up
Speaker 20: on you.
Speaker 2: I'll do that too. I wouldn't hang around just to
Speaker 2: go on the radio.
Speaker 20: That's right. So tonight I'd like to you talk about
Speaker 20: boy racers or or pete young people racers or the racers.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 20: I don't think that really the mentality of your boy
Speaker 20: of your racer has changed in the last thirty years
Speaker 20: at all. It's young boys and some women just want
Speaker 20: to save up their money and buy the best car
Speaker 20: that they can and modernize it. Do you know what
Speaker 20: I mean? That hasn't That hasn't changed. What's changed is
Speaker 20: the amount of people that they can get congregating together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep.
Speaker 20: And the reason for that is because of the cell phones. Yeah,
Speaker 20: this is the cell phones so they could extually connect
Speaker 20: up the anti No no social media and the young
Speaker 20: people make the agent but older and you're not just
Speaker 20: not allowed to have a phone unless you actually have
Speaker 20: it registered to a name. So you can't have burner
Speaker 20: phones anymore. You've got to if you have a phone,
Speaker 20: you've got to know that it should Marcus Slusher's phone,
Speaker 20: and that's a phone number.
Speaker 2: I can't Andrew, I am suspecting in the old days
Speaker 2: with wood of Mouth and get thousands would congregate for
Speaker 2: the illegal drags.
Speaker 20: No, no, only only if you knew that it was
Speaker 20: going to be happening.
Speaker 2: That's almost when Wood goes around school, they're going to
Speaker 2: be out at Oh yeah, okay, I just wonder, but
Speaker 2: you might have a point.
Speaker 20: And then and then they can basically, if there's so
Speaker 20: many people there, the police can just close down that
Speaker 20: cell phone site. And if it's an illegal activity to congregate,
Speaker 20: they know that Marcus Flush is not number.
Speaker 2: We ever had a drag yet, Hey, Andrew, what part
Speaker 2: of the country are you in? Christ Boy Race is
Speaker 2: a problem because they did it. They did have a
Speaker 2: kind of a non race area declared in the middle
Speaker 2: of the city, didn't They which I thought worked quite well.
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 20: Well, they used to have lots of boy races riding around,
Speaker 20: driving around and things like that, but now they all
Speaker 20: and they used to go around the Forehead, up f Steal,
Speaker 20: down Bee Lee, down Deans and down Morehouse there, and
Speaker 20: they used to do that and then they had the
Speaker 20: sort of stopped that.
Speaker 18: So I mean they still do it.
Speaker 20: They're not they're not. They're not that like Alaricans.
Speaker 2: Really, that's just there's just wasn't they just board country
Speaker 2: bumpkins coming into the big smoke for the weekend for
Speaker 2: Friday nights.
Speaker 5: A wee bit of that.
Speaker 20: And they also a lot of them that they all
Speaker 20: go out behind at the airport and then there's talk
Speaker 20: of it the other day up Gibbee's paths. They do
Speaker 20: all their drifting and things like that up Gibbee's path.
Speaker 20: So there is a problem, but it's a little bit
Speaker 20: more kind of like isolated.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, but I don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just the.
Speaker 20: Thing that they're congregated on math. They could seem quite intimidating,
Speaker 20: but one on one they're probably just not worse than
Speaker 20: what we were when we were lads.
Speaker 2: What were you racing when you were a child.
Speaker 20: My first car was a Galank sixteen ol pillarless windows.
Speaker 20: It was a crossflow motor.
Speaker 3: It was awesome.
Speaker 20: Yeah, Glent was nineteen seventy four. I bought it in
Speaker 20: about eighty one, so it was quite a late model car.
Speaker 20: A dream car was a Mini Cooper. I had a many,
Speaker 20: but not the MANI Cooper. Then I bought one not
Speaker 20: so long ago, about three or four years ago, I
Speaker 20: bought a Mini Cooper really nicely Carl was a thirteen
Speaker 20: hundred yep believe, and it was great for the first first,
Speaker 20: you know, a few months, you know, yeah or so,
Speaker 20: and then it wore off and I thought, well, it's
Speaker 20: just nostalgia.
Speaker 7: And it might be.
Speaker 20: It might have been great when I was seventeen, but.
Speaker 2: Not you've grown up.
Speaker 20: Well, yeah, now I see these old people going around
Speaker 20: these the eight holdings and things like that, and I
Speaker 20: think I give them the thumbs up.
Speaker 4: And your poor you know, the.
Speaker 20: Old wifes in the front seat freezing with nose air
Speaker 20: conditioning and bumpy, and you know the guy I thinks
Speaker 20: he's seventeen when he's eighty four.
Speaker 2: You never see the wife driving it, do you never?
Speaker 20: No, they always sit there some pretty looking so bored.
Speaker 11: Yes, yes, just like.
Speaker 2: It's the other thing you never see, Andrew. You never
Speaker 2: see the woman on the front of a tandem. They're
Speaker 2: always on the back, just pushing but never get to steer.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 20: Yeah, they're in the front of the the old holding
Speaker 20: or something. I'm sure it's a nice thing looking car,
Speaker 20: but it's only nostalgia and it's certainly think gym wants
Speaker 20: to take the holding it and I don't really want
Speaker 20: to go. I'd rather be doing anything. But ready's sitting
Speaker 20: in the front of the bumpy.
Speaker 4: Old too hot, too cold.
Speaker 2: You know what's across what's across their flow.
Speaker 20: Across the motor. A lot of them TV you know,
Speaker 20: like you said, overhead can and across. So that was
Speaker 20: quite anovative at that time. In the early seventies. You
Speaker 20: have the Japanese coach so that your cab you're ready,
Speaker 20: goes on on one goes and one side cross the
Speaker 20: head of the head and then out the horse men
Speaker 20: I fold on the other.
Speaker 4: Side across flow motor.
Speaker 11: No, yeah, but now it's all.
Speaker 20: Steed and that's just how they are. And now you
Speaker 20: know the carves nar are like like you get those golf,
Speaker 20: gtis and those skylines you like, you know, steel and
Speaker 20: most wouldn't driven something that fast.
Speaker 2: You're right about the aging car people the way they do.
Speaker 14: You know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you wonder about it, don't you, because yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't even know what that's like. Just go take your
Speaker 2: car out for a cruise on the Saturday when you're
Speaker 2: in your seventies or sixties.
Speaker 4: I mean that's far enough.
Speaker 20: I mean that's what makes them happy. But you've actually
Speaker 20: got to get to a point where you think yourself.
Speaker 20: Actually it was called when I was eighteen or nineteen,
Speaker 20: but you know you're not.
Speaker 2: There's probably not the fifty or sixty year old still
Speaker 2: turning up to the legal dregs though, are they? I
Speaker 2: guess probably not.
Speaker 14: No, I don't know.
Speaker 20: Well, if you know, I mean no, no, they wouldn't
Speaker 20: be they it's all yeah, it's there's just your young fellows.
Speaker 20: I don't Yeah, they do drifting. It's more drifting than outright.
Speaker 2: What what drifting looks really appealing? Drifting looks like it
Speaker 2: would be quite a fun sensation to be in one
Speaker 2: of those cars sliding. It looks good.
Speaker 20: I think it would be. So I've thought the same
Speaker 20: you had a good real wheel drive. But you've got
Speaker 20: to hit the brake and all the reason to be
Speaker 20: able to get them to get it skidding. But you
Speaker 20: know they look that they'll be going around those tracks
Speaker 20: pretty bloody fast, right, they wouldn't be going slow.
Speaker 2: Where do they drift up Gidde's Pass? Is it where
Speaker 2: they go?
Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 20: I heard something on the radio this morning about them
Speaker 20: going up and down Gibbie's Pass, drifting in different places.
Speaker 20: But you've probably got the boy racers and then you've
Speaker 20: got your serious drift. Does that go out to ru
Speaker 20: a poona? But I think that the biggest problem with
Speaker 20: the with the boys, with the with the the the
Speaker 20: racers now is it's the cell phones and that's allowed congregate.
Speaker 2: Would you would you get people boy racing and electric cars?
Speaker 20: I've never actually seen a boy race or electric have I?
Speaker 2: But they're ploody fat Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. They'd
Speaker 2: wiped the floor the others.
Speaker 20: Oh yeah, They've been such a game changer because I
Speaker 20: was in the in the super market once and I
Speaker 20: was just talking to a fellow next to me and
Speaker 20: he had a talking and so what's to go flurid hundred?
Speaker 20: He had to spend a half seconds, so I started
Speaker 20: giving a week demos. So he just pulled out and
Speaker 20: then he topped off. He knew he pulled the chipsy
Speaker 20: all out of the road and he just gave them
Speaker 20: a bit of the zip up to sort of like
Speaker 20: you know, the speed limit.
Speaker 2: He didn't think he would have put you there was
Speaker 2: a fair question I would have offered you a ride.
Speaker 20: Let's do though, you know you're you're south from you know,
Speaker 20: really down there.
Speaker 2: Brilliant nice to hear from me, Andrew two to twelve.
Speaker 2: I'd never ask anyone for writing their tesla Marcus. I
Speaker 2: was on a flight from Australia winning to visit my mother.
Speaker 2: I walked into the plane and walked past some cool
Speaker 2: looking dudes, didn't think much of it, started chatting to them.
Speaker 2: When he landed Winnington through customs, etcetera for like an hour,
Speaker 2: and when we cleared customs, we had a rather large
Speaker 2: crowd and we got into the main lounge cheering and
Speaker 2: taking pictures of clinging. Some news stations turned out US
Speaker 2: chat to Geene Simmons the whole time, and the kiss
Speaker 2: crew love the fact that I know who he was
Speaker 2: and offered me tickets to come hang out with him.
Speaker 2: Did and wow, there we go. Do you use your
Speaker 2: phone whilst charging it that caused the battery to overheat?
Speaker 2: Then fowl? Yes, I do always endlessly Anita. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 2: good evening, evening, Anita, how are you good thing?
Speaker 23: I don't think we've actually spoken before.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I didn't recognize your voice
Speaker 2: or name.
Speaker 23: Yeah, I was calling about batteries. Yeah, I live in
Speaker 23: Norway and we have the schools actually collect the batteries
Speaker 23: here to educate the children and how to dispose of them.
Speaker 2: Well, are we talking like batteries for rechargeable things, also
Speaker 2: batteries like ever ready ones?
Speaker 23: Yeah, all of your sort of disposable ones, your lythium
Speaker 23: ones and things like that. Okay, and basically yeah, yeah,
Speaker 23: they say that eighty percent of the fires that are
Speaker 23: caused here and either your waste disposable trucks or in
Speaker 23: the recycling is caused by batteries. Sure, so what you
Speaker 23: do is that you tape your lithium batteries sell buttons,
Speaker 23: and you tape all your double A, triple A, CD
Speaker 23: and nine fault batteries the positive ends, and you tape
Speaker 23: them before you dispose of them so they don't rub
Speaker 23: together and cause spark.
Speaker 2: So you just put a bit of masking tape around
Speaker 2: one end of them.
Speaker 23: Yeah, or your cello tape, just your tape, if and
Speaker 23: doubt tape, and don't put them in your general rubbish.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they've never said anything here because as I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: that seems to be very sensible, isn't it.
Speaker 23: Yeah, And then because it's eighty percent of them, they've
Speaker 23: found fires are caused by this, so you know the
Speaker 23: children actually click them at school. I don't know they
Speaker 23: had a scheme here so that they can educate them
Speaker 23: because they're the ones that are always using batteries basically
Speaker 23: disposable batteries, so that the way they understand it.
Speaker 2: Will your bigger batteries feel like your lawnmarer and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. I wouldn't know where to put the tape
Speaker 2: on those because it's kind of it's kind of down grooves,
Speaker 2: isn't it.
Speaker 23: Well that stuff for lawn mower, who knows. I mean,
Speaker 23: you would take them to your recycling center and they
Speaker 23: would dispose of them correctly. That's what we do very
Speaker 23: strict here. We have people watching what we'd dump. Really
Speaker 23: every piece of wood, every piece of stick.
Speaker 2: Wow, oh yeah, are you okay about that?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's done with your approval.
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't mind that at all. Yeah,
Speaker 23: we're very big recyclers.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I like that about the tape. That makes
Speaker 2: perfect sense to me. I don't know if I'll start
Speaker 2: doing that, but I like it. Marcus. I still see
Speaker 2: drivers of a certain age group thumbing their windscreens when
Speaker 2: traveling over gravel roads or through word works. Does it
Speaker 2: actually work? Maybe back when the theory was that stopped
Speaker 2: the glass and showing when it s don't hit the
Speaker 2: wind screen. I don't think it works anymore since they
Speaker 2: change the shape of vehicles. I haven't seen anyone holding
Speaker 2: their windscreen for a long long time. It's something I
Speaker 2: would notice. The windscreen pushes always looks slightly desperate. I've
Speaker 2: always thought. I like this text Marcus Anita from Norway.
Speaker 2: It's not the first to suggest taping battery terminals any
Speaker 2: batteries at a b security airports when they see loose batteries.
Speaker 2: I not in the normal purchase packaging and your carry
Speaker 2: and luggage. It's okay to take them with the bettery timinals.
Speaker 2: The tape to prevent any spark. It's normal procedure. It's
Speaker 2: not a Norway thing, cheers Gazer. Queen's down, well gas
Speaker 2: has been so triggered. What I like most about gazers text,
Speaker 2: he says. He says high Margus Anita from and and
Speaker 2: Norway's an inverted comments like she's made it up.
Speaker 6: Mhfy.
Speaker 2: I had a New World to the Heart Valley, customers
Speaker 2: could drop the old batteries to them. The tape ends
Speaker 2: and they tape in the dispose of old batteries. Well,
Speaker 2: I think it's quite funny about I know about people
Speaker 2: to about New World and rot chickens. There was for
Speaker 2: a while if you went to New World and there
Speaker 2: were no chickens in the chicken warming, you got one
Speaker 2: for free. Is that still a thing that was famous before?
Speaker 2: Even before TikTok when things were TikTok famous, that was
Speaker 2: famous to get your free chicken. No word about it now,
