Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks, that'd.
Speaker 2: Be greetings, welcome, hit'll twelve Miname is Marcus. I hope
Speaker 2: it's good with you. I let us know what's going on. Oh,
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two ninety two
Speaker 2: to text a couple of things. It's the budget to days.
Speaker 2: Traditionally on the evening show, the budget has not provided
Speaker 2: a huge amount of things for people to talk about.
Speaker 2: That's just experienced. Tonight might be different. If it's something
Speaker 2: that you are ecstatic to talk about, or something you
Speaker 2: want explained, or some question you've got that you want
Speaker 2: to ask the rest of the audience about, feel free
Speaker 2: to come through about that. What that is I can't
Speaker 2: speculate about. But if there is something that you want
Speaker 2: to talk about, let us know, oh, eight hundred eighty
Speaker 2: ten eighty. It's always hard one to pick one for
Speaker 2: me with a budget because one of those ones that
Speaker 2: it's one of those ones that comes out, it takes
Speaker 2: a while for people to realize how it's going to
Speaker 2: affect them before they form their opinion. That's my understanding
Speaker 2: of it takes people a little bit of time and thinking,
Speaker 2: hang on, this is going to fit me in this way,
Speaker 2: and then perhaps the outrage and things will trickle down,
Speaker 2: trickle through.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I think the budget cycle has changed somewhat now with
Speaker 2: the leaks before, not the leaks, but with the release
Speaker 2: of material before the actual day. You don't get it
Speaker 2: like you once did. Oh and of course the the
Speaker 2: it's not like the price of smokes and beer like
Speaker 2: once upon a time, which was huge. It was all
Speaker 2: cigarettes and beer and guess and people would drive to
Speaker 2: the gas station to flop their car and they'd buy
Speaker 2: smokes and beer. They'd stock parley ahead of the budget.
Speaker 2: But now not so much so. If you want to
Speaker 2: talk about that, feel free eight hundred and eighty ten
Speaker 2: eighty nine text the other thing you might want to
Speaker 2: talk about. Oh, by the way, there was a fire
Speaker 2: and Cromwell and berries ev. I think I've got that
Speaker 2: run right. I hope it's not the Buffalo food truck.
Speaker 2: I don't think it is, because I've gone to their
Speaker 2: Facebook page only because I follow them for reasons. But
Speaker 2: the fire crew is responding to a fire and Central
Speaker 2: otago on barriev. If you are there, if you know
Speaker 2: anything about that, let us know. It wull be the
Speaker 2: KINDI I've spent some time on barriev not a lot,
Speaker 2: but anyway, let me know about that. The other thing
Speaker 2: you might want to talk about too, Oh no, this
Speaker 2: is me just keep you up to date. The Bogonia
Speaker 2: House has been saved at the Wellington Council meeting. I'm
Speaker 2: reading that now. That's a new story that's just kind
Speaker 2: of come through. The council voted unanimously to say the
Speaker 2: Begonia House. Just two counselors, Ben McNulty and Tim Brown
Speaker 2: voted against it. They adopted a do minimum option recommended
Speaker 2: by council officers, requiring an increase in budget from eight
Speaker 2: point one million to eleven million. Is it for a
Speaker 2: year for that cheapers, I don't quite know how much
Speaker 2: cost that is for how long, but you might want
Speaker 2: to mention that also too. So that's what's happening. If
Speaker 2: there is other news that happens tonight, I will keep
Speaker 2: you across that. I'm expecting breaking news. I just don't
Speaker 2: know what it is. At the stage. I'm watching the
Speaker 2: Southland Sharks. They're playing at the moment they're slightly behind.
Speaker 2: They're playing the Hawk's Bay team. I'll keep you updated
Speaker 2: with that the family there, but by looking at the
Speaker 2: stand there aren't many others there got that on of
Speaker 2: the TV. So I'll keep you posted on that very
Speaker 2: close basketball game this afternoon that I watched with the
Speaker 2: nixt Gosh, that was exciting towards the end. Anyway, So
Speaker 2: you call the shots, what you've got you want to
Speaker 2: talk about, feel free to come through, long night ahead.
Speaker 2: It seems eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine
Speaker 2: two nine two de text. But if you do it,
Speaker 2: if you've got something, if you've got something reasoned or
Speaker 2: curious to say about the budget, feel free to come through.
Speaker 2: It seems like the immediate aftermath of the budget, it's
Speaker 2: people kind of jockeying for the headline and for the
Speaker 2: slogan that the budget becomes. Now how useful that is,
Speaker 2: I just don't know, But there we go. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's just sort of the thing that stops a
Speaker 2: nation like it once did, although I did look about
Speaker 2: two o'clock for updates from it, and I think he
Speaker 2: was saddle about. But anyway, there we go. But get
Speaker 2: in touch you do on to talk or the other
Speaker 2: topic I want to talk about tonight, and this is
Speaker 2: something that actually is of interest to me, And it
Speaker 2: might be something you've thought about, it might not be
Speaker 2: something you've thought about. But I see that Kate Winslet,
Speaker 2: who we loved in the Titanic. I was enjoyed that
Speaker 2: discussion on talk about with the Titanic that the person
Speaker 2: thought that the old woman on the Titanic was an
Speaker 2: actual survivor of the Titanic. But such a lovely thing
Speaker 2: to believe that that, yes, that James camer had gone
Speaker 2: and found someone that was on the Titanic to play
Speaker 2: the role fictional role anyway, just remembering that anyway, Kate
Speaker 2: Winslett's daughter as an actor. And the question I have
Speaker 2: for you is quite a good question. Would you encourage
Speaker 2: your child, your son or your daughter or did you
Speaker 2: to go into the same career as you and how
Speaker 2: did that work? Because what I imagine is such a
Speaker 2: short length of time, even the time of one generation,
Speaker 2: a large number of careers are kind of defunct, aren't they.
Speaker 2: So yeah, would you or have you encouraged your children
Speaker 2: to go into the same career as you have, because
Speaker 2: I'm sure most people don't. Uniss, you're involved in one
Speaker 2: of those businesses where you've built up the capitol and
Speaker 2: the headquarters and they can come and join the family
Speaker 2: engineering firm or haymaking firm or something along those lines.
Speaker 2: So I'm curious to know about that, if you have
Speaker 2: encouraged your children to jump into the or if you
Speaker 2: would encourage your children to go to the same as
Speaker 2: you have eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two
Speaker 2: ninety two de text. Just kind of curious about that.
Speaker 2: Would that be something that you would do or think
Speaker 2: was a good idea? I think more often not these days,
Speaker 2: you'd look on as a bit of a surprise. If
Speaker 2: someone's going to the same career that you're into, you
Speaker 2: might want to comment on that. I'd like to hear
Speaker 2: about that. And by the way, I can tell you
Speaker 2: too that this is that this is something that the
Speaker 2: people of Dunedin need to be alarmed about. It seems
Speaker 2: as though the Lookout Point fire station in Dunedin is
Speaker 2: going to be demolished. It is earthquake prone. If you
Speaker 2: don't know that building driving out from Dunedin as you
Speaker 2: go up the hill past Corsaphene, gorgeous looking building would
Speaker 2: be one of the most picturesque fire stations in the
Speaker 2: country that ought to be saved. But yeah, you might
Speaker 2: have a strong comment on that because I think probably
Speaker 2: the need needs to save its old buildings because it's
Speaker 2: kind of what it's known for. That's a beautiful building.
Speaker 2: So yeah, be aware of that that that's something they
Speaker 2: want to demolish and you don't want that to happen.
Speaker 2: I don't know the full details they're going to relocate anyway.
Speaker 2: I guess it'd make good apartments somewhere. Put the students
Speaker 2: in it. You've got the poll could be fun. You
Speaker 2: might want to mention that as well. Eight hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty and nine two nine two The texts
Speaker 2: you want to come through? Marcus till twelve psh looking
Speaker 2: forward to what you've got to say? Would you encourage
Speaker 2: your child to do the same job as you? If not,
Speaker 2: why not because a chance to look back on your
Speaker 2: career and think, well, no, actually just about killed me,
Speaker 2: or no it's a dying art, or no, because AI
Speaker 2: will take over. That's what most people say, won't they.
Speaker 2: It's all about AI. Keep your texts coming through too.
Speaker 2: Fifteen past date, Fire and Berries, Air of Cromwell. Wat's
Speaker 2: that on fire? The Bigonia Houses say, Marcus, totally off topic,
Speaker 2: but I'm curious to know why Australia is having so
Speaker 2: much rain and flooding in recent times. I suppose it's
Speaker 2: due to climate change. I don't know, but it seems
Speaker 2: as though that area, that northern New South Wales area
Speaker 2: is getting absolutely hammered. Every time I've turned the rugby
Speaker 2: league on, it's absolutely bucketing down the women's state of origin.
Speaker 2: The matches in the weekend infect a lot of them
Speaker 2: more often than not. On the weekend it's been absolutely persisting.
Speaker 2: I don't know there's any talk back in then. I
Speaker 2: don't think anyone quite knows why Australia would be so
Speaker 2: flood prone. Maybe it's some cycle who knows about that. Anyway,
Speaker 2: if you want to get in touch, hit til twelve
Speaker 2: looking forward to what you've got to say. Oh eight
Speaker 2: hundred eighty eight nine nine two detext Marcus till midnight
Speaker 2: tonight if you want to comment on these particular topics,
Speaker 2: or if there's something else you want to mention. Pretty
Speaker 2: much enjoyed last night's topics about Smith and Curry, but
Speaker 2: mainly about the communication and how they did the books
Speaker 2: in the old days, with everything on a wire. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: but yes, the other thing is about making your child
Speaker 2: follow into your same career, because I'd imagine once upon
Speaker 2: a time it was encouraged the right thing to do
Speaker 2: is to do what your parents had done, following your
Speaker 2: father's footsteps. Sohah, So you might want to mention that,
Speaker 2: as I say, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and
Speaker 2: nine nine two de texts if you do want to
Speaker 2: come through. Kimradashan's a lawyer. Good on her, worked hard
Speaker 2: for that over six years, doing it part time bringing
Speaker 2: up the children. I'm not suggesting that's a talk back topic,
Speaker 2: but I'm just putting that out there for the doubters.
Speaker 2: Seventeen past eight. Some of the other stuff too. I
Speaker 2: don't quind kind of know what's going on with run
Speaker 2: it Straight. There seems to be so many different things
Speaker 2: have run it straight that, in fact it's hard to
Speaker 2: keep but with which ones have been canceled? And a
Speaker 2: very interesting article today in the paper about a bakery
Speaker 2: and in Vericago or in South And called Kaye's Cake
Speaker 2: Kitchen or Kay's Kitchen. They are using Australian broker to
Speaker 2: buy their butter. Yeah, so often they use butter to
Speaker 2: make their products because the butter is cheaper. They order
Speaker 2: ten tons of time from and that's in the middle.
Speaker 2: That's the factory Otpiniev or wherever they've got a second shove.
Speaker 2: Also broken biscuits and the like. But they're in the
Speaker 2: middle of the heartland, the dairy heartland. They're getting some
Speaker 2: of their butter, a lot of their butter from Australia,
Speaker 2: which would make you think there's something wrong with that
Speaker 2: sh Anyway, that's what we've got eight hundred and eight, Tady.
Speaker 2: I look forward to to your copy. By the way,
Speaker 2: hold your horses people. Yeah, I'm looking at how they
Speaker 2: draw the real North South divide in the UK in
Speaker 2: the UK, and what the line is and what the
Speaker 2: defining thing is I reckon In the UK the currying,
Speaker 2: the clear clear definition between north and South is the
Speaker 2: line where people have curry sauce or ketchup on their
Speaker 2: fish and chips cheapest. I don't know what that would
Speaker 2: be in New Zealand. What would differential differentiate the North
Speaker 2: and the South of New Zealand. As far as what
Speaker 2: the food they eat, I didn't know. In the UK
Speaker 2: they had curry sauce on their chips. They never come
Speaker 2: across at twenty five past eight Brettett's Marcus, Welcome, good.
Speaker 4: Evening, Marcus.
Speaker 5: I don't advise my son not to be a diesel mechanic.
Speaker 2: Because of the way diesel. But there's not going to
Speaker 2: be diesel car or trucks.
Speaker 5: No, no, no working out in the cold and the trucks.
Speaker 5: When you get the fifty, you start feeling the aches
Speaker 5: and pains for people.
Speaker 2: Say, hey, cold concrete, lying on your back, falling.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in the bad ye constantly knocking your head on
Speaker 5: hard steel. Rightly. I've been working part time with im
Speaker 5: baggage now, but I do your little warrants for my
Speaker 5: mate and a lot of the cars now empty. We
Speaker 5: go for a test drive and the fuel lights on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Is it showing you no one's got any money?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: You know I did five cars today and for them
Speaker 5: fuel lights on. I'm gonna take my phone cut up,
Speaker 5: running up, and I go for a test dride test
Speaker 5: to break and why not.
Speaker 2: Well that's pretty that's a pretty telling thing on the economy,
Speaker 2: isn't it. No one's got any money.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I've always thought a bit going into the business,
Speaker 5: but everybody I work for they've been happy time collecting money.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's something I couldn't do.
Speaker 2: What happens with that? What happens with diesel mechanics? Do
Speaker 2: you just get really achy? Or what happens at the
Speaker 2: end of your at the end, you know, when you know,
Speaker 2: when you get to fifty you just saw as are you?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Well narthriders, but that's not true being a diesel mechanic.
Speaker 5: But yeah, you just worn out cold achy.
Speaker 2: And it seems like a lot of the shops aren't
Speaker 2: that warm either, are they?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: No, usually outside because a lot of shops you can't
Speaker 5: get a truck in, so you're outside. Well, back in
Speaker 5: the days when I was working, it was the last
Speaker 5: forty years.
Speaker 2: So have you given it up? Where you're about to
Speaker 2: give it up? Bread?
Speaker 5: Well, I'm succeed, aren't you.
Speaker 8: See?
Speaker 1: Me?
Speaker 5: Retired? Because an hour of my hands and they ache
Speaker 5: like he I got no grippy. I can't hold things
Speaker 5: and I've got it in my shoulders, my herds here
Speaker 5: second hit replacement coming up?
Speaker 2: What is it working as a mechanic that's done your hips?
Speaker 5: I don't know, getting nothing down. I can't do it now? Yeah,
Speaker 5: simply well they say I've got out to rights for
Speaker 5: there's just so they don't did you see know nothing?
Speaker 2: Did you ever during your during your career, like twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, think of doing something else and regret that
Speaker 2: you didn't?
Speaker 5: No, because I love and things. Yeah, come, you've.
Speaker 2: Got a gifted it clearly.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh I do everything anything. Yeap.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 2: Nice to hear from you, Bret. That's a pretty interesting
Speaker 2: take on that one. Thank you, Brett. Would you get
Speaker 2: your kids to do the same job you've done, Guys,
Speaker 2: it gives you a chance to turk out talk about
Speaker 2: what you've done and how you go with that. Marcus,
Speaker 2: would you courage en courage your kids to do radio?
Speaker 2: I don't think probably in twenty or three years there
Speaker 2: will be radio. I think probably it'll be a different thing.
Speaker 2: That'd be my take on. I don't know if they
Speaker 2: want to do it. It's fairy show, no desire to it.
Speaker 2: I don't think kids are interesting radio. It's all on
Speaker 2: Spotify and think things I think. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: want to say that to sound uncontroversial, but I think
Speaker 2: that's reality. With music music radio, it's all just playlists curated.
Speaker 2: You don't need the band till you get the band
Speaker 2: in other places. That'd be my take on that, Marcus, Evening,
Speaker 2: how are you? Are you well? And when was the
Speaker 2: last time you had an r J. Schubert Fizz? They
Speaker 2: have downsized quite a bit, never had one. I am
Speaker 2: someone that's never quite liked r J's licorice. I've always
Speaker 2: thought it was a too soft for me. Always preferred
Speaker 2: the Black Night, which I think is actually the stuff
Speaker 2: that they now have. They now make under license. But
Speaker 2: you would never have a shoe butt fizz or whatever
Speaker 2: it is. They even know what it is. Marcus. My
Speaker 2: daughter is fifty percent owner of my audio visual company.
Speaker 2: She doubled the turnover. What could be better? Brian? Is
Speaker 2: there a thing called diesel fume poison that gets into
Speaker 2: the body and caused aches and pains? Just saying Cheryl?
Speaker 2: Cheryl asks that rhetorically, Marcus. Did you see the Southern
Speaker 2: story in one news last night? I have so many
Speaker 2: interesting memories traveling from Aeshburton to Unedin. Like your thoughts
Speaker 2: on that, Marcus, what us? Like my thoughts on you
Speaker 2: traveling from Eshburton to Dunedin or the Southerner. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you how the Southerner won't happen, and it was mischievous
Speaker 2: of Kibi Rawl to put it on. That's my take.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't even know why people go on
Speaker 2: and on about it because they're just tweying with us.
Speaker 2: The trains ain't coming back, and they might in twenty
Speaker 2: years time, but then I'm not coming back in the
Speaker 2: South Island because people now have got cars and they
Speaker 2: won't get rid of their cars. But yeah, it's ye.
Speaker 2: Would you encourage your child to be a train driver?
Speaker 2: Probably not. Well, I'll tell you what. The train drivers
Speaker 2: they go to Australia and they get huge money.
Speaker 6: Jet.
Speaker 2: It's down to one point in the basketball that Cad
Speaker 2: won a ball. That's a right because he made a sign.
Speaker 2: He is excited about that. Good evening, Billet's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 6: He killed a Marcus. You know, I wouldn't buy my
Speaker 6: kids doing my job, but they're all higher qualified than
Speaker 6: I was. I started that builders laborer, brickige laborer, scaffolding,
Speaker 6: you know, doing in the building, and the fee them
Speaker 6: not not a trades person obviously, then Freezing works taxi
Speaker 6: driver and the last twenty eight years as a key
Speaker 6: taken to primary school. Wow, and I've got a what's
Speaker 6: called a congestive lung disease, which was diagnosed about eight
Speaker 6: to nine years ago. And when it first was first diagnosed,
Speaker 6: the specialist said to me, he said, have you been
Speaker 6: a diesel mechanic at some stages? I said no. He said,
Speaker 6: have you worked around buses or trucks?
Speaker 3: I said no.
Speaker 6: So he got onto the history and it's a combination
Speaker 6: of smoking for well, probably twenty years, I was shoveling coal,
Speaker 6: you know, in the boiler at school, working with chemicals
Speaker 6: around the gardens, swimming pool chemicals, and twenty five years
Speaker 6: of road patrol, and then there was a combination of
Speaker 6: all that has given me this given me this congestive
Speaker 6: lung thing that it slowed me down at this stage
Speaker 6: is not going to kill me, hopefully. But the interesting
Speaker 6: thing was that, you know, as I say, the specially
Speaker 6: said that I ever worked around diesel. So there's the
Speaker 6: answer to a question that lady may have been wrying about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing that just you know that we think
Speaker 2: that that the doctor would put down road to control
Speaker 2: road patrol. Just standing on the side of the road
Speaker 2: for an hour a day would cause such.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, twenty five years of it you know, just
Speaker 6: the fumes and stuff. You know, it's a combination of
Speaker 6: it all. The thing was when I was shoving the coal,
Speaker 6: you know, we just used to just wear masks like
Speaker 6: they wear today with COVID that's that was a capital
Speaker 6: that's all you it was required. And same with you know,
Speaker 6: we're spraying chemicals around school at the swimming pool. Just
Speaker 6: that there was none of these big flash masks available
Speaker 6: and yeah, so you know, just just a combination of
Speaker 6: all of that. Of course, the issue.
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't I suppose you wouldn't be encouraging an
Speaker 2: your kids to be taxi drivers now either, would you?
Speaker 2: Because that's gone, hasn't it.
Speaker 6: Oh, there's no I mean I used to do something
Speaker 6: abs shopping shifts. You know, they were illegal. You know,
Speaker 6: I'd have the car for sort of you know, twenty
Speaker 6: four hours. I had to doctor a box to get
Speaker 6: away with it. Yeah, not cheap financially, but but you know,
Speaker 6: doctor them up. So I wasn't on the road for
Speaker 6: too many hours. You know, you had to take a
Speaker 6: break after a certain amount of time, and you're able
Speaker 6: to drive for ten hours or something that you had
Speaker 6: never where you drive for twelve hours and I think
Speaker 6: you had there have a teen our break, but yeah,
Speaker 6: there's no there's no money in it.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 6: You learn a good living back in the old days,
Speaker 6: especially the owner drivers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and even the licenses were worth a fortune, weren't they.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I was only driving for for you know, for
Speaker 6: a wage. But on a busy night when nobody wanted
Speaker 6: to work, like New Year's Eve, it was hard to
Speaker 6: get somebody. I was given the opportunity of driving a
Speaker 6: van for fifty fifty under the table. I jumped at that,
Speaker 6: you know, because you know, you had a lot of
Speaker 6: work with vans, because you know, you get companies that
Speaker 6: seven or eight people go out to, you know, have
Speaker 6: a drink and they will want to go home together
Speaker 6: or they will want to go to a certain destination afterwards.
Speaker 6: So that was really handy. They were good jobs. You
Speaker 6: pick someone up in Papa Nui and take them to little.
Speaker 2: What's that twenty bucks on the day.
Speaker 6: A yeah, yeah, easy, yeah, yeah. I remember. I remember
Speaker 6: picking up a group from from Littleton and they were
Speaker 6: they were Japanese fishermen and I took them to the
Speaker 6: Calag's message parlor. And in Sydenham, you're taking the lot
Speaker 6: fare was no, I didn't know. No, it was there
Speaker 6: was only about thirteen dollars something. And they said to me,
Speaker 6: you know, cart you've got cards. So I gave them
Speaker 6: a card, and I got a phone call about twenty
Speaker 6: past twelve and can't pick them all up. Then they're
Speaker 6: all happy as larry. They're all pissed and smiling. That
Speaker 6: had their you know whatever they had, Yes, and we
Speaker 6: get back to Littleton. Of course, the fear changed after midnight,
Speaker 6: you know, yes, and I think it was I think
Speaker 6: it was sixteen dollars eighty or something. And anyway, one
Speaker 6: folly gives me twenty dollars. An we're going to give
Speaker 6: them some change. No, no, no, no, no, next finally gives me
Speaker 6: twenty dollars or so they all paid me. Wow, they
Speaker 6: all paid me twenty dollars. I think there were six
Speaker 6: or there were seven to seven or eight of them,
Speaker 6: so only had to declare you know what was on
Speaker 6: the meter. Yeah, So the rest went in went in
Speaker 6: my pocket.
Speaker 2: It's a good story, Bell, Thanks for that. There we go, Marcus, Hey,
Speaker 2: Marcus Tobin, I'm wondering what the problem with all your
Speaker 2: moaning listers is about. Run it straight. No one cares
Speaker 2: about when people run in union or league. Everyone that
Speaker 2: moans about this is clearly not a rugby league fan.
Speaker 2: If it doesn't involve you, worry about your own life, Boomers.
Speaker 2: I didn't not necessarily how many people are opposed to that.
Speaker 2: I thought there were when I talked about this, I
Speaker 2: think was on Monday. I think people people thought it
Speaker 2: would be quite a good thing. I don't think there's
Speaker 2: any blanket approach to people being opposed to it or
Speaker 2: in favor of it. But it clearly is a lot
Speaker 2: different from rugby or league. So I mean, you just
Speaker 2: think about John Josh for a sec. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: like chalk and cheese. I think if you want to
Speaker 2: make our analogy, you probably compare it to boxing, perhaps,
Speaker 2: which I think probably invented these days. Without kind of
Speaker 2: its cultural history, you wouldn't get permission to have it going.
Speaker 2: But because it's sort of from the services or whatever,
Speaker 2: people love it. Shane. It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 10: You know, Marcus nice to check to you. So well,
Speaker 10: there's a little bit of a turnary and Shane followed
Speaker 10: in my footsteps, and then he got a little better
Speaker 10: than me, and now I'm following.
Speaker 1: In his Oh, well, this is great.
Speaker 10: Okay, here's something different. So he would have grown up
Speaker 10: seeing me either boxing in the ring or on stage
Speaker 10: at the theater. So he became head boy here at
Speaker 10: Otumoto College. He's got a national title as a junior.
Speaker 10: And then he says, Dad, I've got three scholarships. It's
Speaker 10: the Lincoln University of Wellington, Georgia in the States, but
Speaker 10: I'm going to take Toy for Carry because it's the
Speaker 10: hardest one to get into. Dead that's Premier Erecting School.
Speaker 10: Dr Warner and all of them, all of the Yeah,
Speaker 10: from one class, which was quite remarkable.
Speaker 2: I had quite a bit of there's one year and
Speaker 2: they're all for like Martin Showcash. There's all sorts of them,
Speaker 2: they all around the world. And yeah, that's right, you're
Speaker 2: on top.
Speaker 10: Was there when he graduated and you're looking at the say,
Speaker 10: two hundred black and white photos and you're looking for
Speaker 10: a star. And then they all are in one class.
Speaker 10: What a remarkable year.
Speaker 2: Oh they're all the same class, Moti Is that right?
Speaker 10: No, No, they were all in the same year Toy
Speaker 10: for Carry when they graduated. Carl Evan was in there
Speaker 10: with Chris Curtis and Michael doctor Water and they're all
Speaker 10: in the same classes. Are quite remarkable.
Speaker 2: They worked what was your trade?
Speaker 10: Well, back in fifty years ago, you're either an electrician,
Speaker 10: a calf under or a plant so I thought of
Speaker 10: be a technician. Anyone who went to university was usually
Speaker 10: become a lawyer of smoke dope once they started charging
Speaker 10: people and people got a bit more specific. So I've
Speaker 10: only had the two jobs, but my passion was always acting.
Speaker 10: So so he grew up seeing me on stage and
Speaker 10: I've done several films, and ironically, so I went over
Speaker 10: to see him perform in China. He was on Shanghai
Speaker 10: Disney Disneyland here and he was performing with snow White
Speaker 10: and they fell in love and he went to Sweden
Speaker 10: and married her. And then COVID hit. So he came
Speaker 10: back to New Zealand and he got the part on
Speaker 10: He came back to show Around and he got the
Speaker 10: part of the doctor on Schorlin Street and he played
Speaker 10: Doctor Rico, a game WARDI doctor, and he was quite
Speaker 10: popular therefore for the six months. And ironically I've just
Speaker 10: come from Auckland playing his father's following his foot steps,
Speaker 10: although to a lesser degree. I'm not as successful as
Speaker 10: playing a racist. So it was funny to see his
Speaker 10: father following his son's foot steps and gay door to
Speaker 10: a white supremacist.
Speaker 2: So you were playing the racist on Shortland Street.
Speaker 10: Yes, I was up there last month for a couple
Speaker 10: of reasons.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. So yes, I presume your son is Mali
Speaker 2: and you're not. Is that right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 10: My wife, So yeah, he's come up with the maudy
Speaker 10: blood portugue. He doesn't look like me or go to
Speaker 10: cut down his roles. He's quite a good looking boy.
Speaker 2: When do we get to see you?
Speaker 10: So I'll be add on fifteenth of September. And so
Speaker 10: you're a completely different character to the to the to
Speaker 10: the nice guy he was playing.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic. So you followed your son's career.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so now I'm trying to do it full time
Speaker 10: like he is. He's in the ether. Thing he said
Speaker 10: to me was dead. It's a bit expenses in Zille,
Speaker 10: and so it's gone over to Italy with his U
Speaker 10: with his new wife, and I bought a house there
Speaker 10: because in southern Italy it's quite cheap to buy a house. Computer,
Speaker 10: he said, a bit expensive for new Zealand, so I
Speaker 10: bought a place there and he's got his wife is
Speaker 10: an actress, so they all wait. So she would work
Speaker 10: six months and Disney then and then take six months
Speaker 10: off in Italy, so that will be their base now.
Speaker 2: So hang on, Shane, yep, were you any good?
Speaker 11: Me?
Speaker 2: Yeah? As a white cymacist? Did they did that? Did
Speaker 2: your son watch your performance? Did he hang around to say.
Speaker 10: No, no, he won't see it. No, So he's in
Speaker 10: Italy at the moment, so he was on about two
Speaker 10: years ago. Here's a Sai yet, Marcus, I knocked it
Speaker 10: out of the park.
Speaker 2: Did your easy to be a white surprise? It's so ridiculous?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Okay, right, and it was good because they're usually fairly
Speaker 10: conservative characters, so it was great to get a partner.
Speaker 10: Was right off and they're just such a brilliant punch
Speaker 10: of people. They just let me go with it.
Speaker 2: And was it just was it just one in one
Speaker 2: and done?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 10: It's five days of filming, so I'm not sure if
Speaker 10: it's going to be one day or over a weeks.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Most actors, you're full on and then you're back to
Speaker 10: being Portunately, I'm retired. So then you're straight back to
Speaker 10: being unemployed looking for the next role.
Speaker 2: Were you killed off or could you get back on?
Speaker 10: Oh? I could see a lot of them would get
Speaker 10: back on.
Speaker 6: What happened.
Speaker 10: I won't tell you what we've but we've left the
Speaker 10: doors being left open. I believe my son has still
Speaker 10: got an apartment there as well his character, so he
Speaker 10: right back could come back as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you, they could bring you back and reform you.
Speaker 2: You could see the light and become educated or something.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I won't give too much away.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't give too I'll ask you to. I'm going
Speaker 2: to run anyway. Fourteen to nine, feel free to come
Speaker 2: through seven to nine? Were you an extra on Shortland Street?
Speaker 2: There we go? Whole world must be mother stage? But yeah,
Speaker 2: who got to play a white supremacist? Unbelievable? Get in touch.
Speaker 2: And also too, would you encourage your child into the
Speaker 2: profession you have had profession job, whatever that is? And
Speaker 2: did you follow your parents into their one and regret
Speaker 2: that or something of that. ILK also to looking at
Speaker 2: a very interesting article about the North South divide in
Speaker 2: the UK, and they found out what divides north and South.
Speaker 2: It's what they have on their chips. I had no
Speaker 2: idea about this, but researchers have got involved to find
Speaker 2: a line between the North and the South, a straight
Speaker 2: line linking the Severn estory with the Wash and new
Speaker 2: survey argues that the true North South divide isn't dictateted
Speaker 2: by anything as mighty as as paramount as politics. In fact,
Speaker 2: it's dictated by what we put our fish and chips,
Speaker 2: and a sweeping serve of two thousand people have revealed
Speaker 2: that the further north you are, the more likely you
Speaker 2: are to have curry sauce rather than kitch up. I've
Speaker 2: never heard of anyone having carry sauce on chips. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I don't know what that's about, but you might
Speaker 2: want to say something about that. You might want to
Speaker 2: even have a guess on what the New Zealand equivalent
Speaker 2: of that would be. I don't really know anything about
Speaker 2: how would they make curry sauce. You wonder why no
Speaker 2: one's offering here because this sounds slightly delicious. It's quite
Speaker 2: a complicated article actually, so it doesn't look uniform about
Speaker 2: where people actually do that. Anyway, get in touch you
Speaker 2: on the talk. My name is Marcu's welcome hit to
Speaker 2: the end. Hit of Midnight eight hundred and eighty tay
Speaker 2: nine two nine two the text looking forward to what
Speaker 2: you've got to say. If you've got comments on the budge,
Speaker 2: feel free to come through about that. Also tonight, if
Speaker 2: there's any breaking news, I will bring that up for you.
Speaker 2: There was fire cruise responding to a fire in Barry
Speaker 2: ab and Cromwell. I'm waiting for an update from our
Speaker 2: Cromwell correspondent on that. I'm not quite sure who that
Speaker 2: was is. And the Bogonia House due to be saved.
Speaker 2: That's in Wellington. They say it's the third most visited
Speaker 2: thing in Wellington. I'm not sure if that's true. If
Speaker 2: they went to trip Advisor, might be the third highest
Speaker 2: rated thing. I can't quite work out what would be
Speaker 2: the most visited terroist attractions and when it would be.
Speaker 2: The cable would be Parliament in the cable car, wouldn't it?
Speaker 2: I mean pretty much? The Begonia House. It's lovely, but
Speaker 2: it's pretty I mean I've never heard of it until
Speaker 2: a year ago. I mean it is good because it's
Speaker 2: accessible for wheelchairs and it's flat, but really number three, yeah,
Speaker 2: rather it be wettest studios in Parliament cable car bah.
Speaker 2: Well they managed to save it. Go on ze land
Speaker 2: here of course, and tip Papa Marcus. Curry sauce on
Speaker 2: your chips is huge in Ile and my friend craves it.

Speaker 2: and brings back packets of it from Ireland. First meal
Speaker 2: she had when she arrived Nina and lasked she was
Speaker 2: going to the chipper and getting chips and carry sauce.
Speaker 2: The main thing I want to know is how would
Speaker 2: you make it? I know about curry, but not about
Speaker 2: curry sauce. I can't imagine how that would be something
Speaker 2: that you would make. So if you want to talk
Speaker 2: about that also tonight eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
Speaker 2: and nine two nine text the other discussion so far.
Speaker 2: If there's something different you want to talk about, you
Speaker 2: might want to mention the budget, but there's a ton
Speaker 2: of room to talk tonight. There's a ton of room
Speaker 2: for you to have your say. So there might be
Speaker 2: something entirely different you want to mention, and I can
Speaker 2: handle that, So get in touch. Nine past nine. I'll
Speaker 2: get to the texts. The texts, here's what people are saying.
Speaker 2: Let me just bring these up people. My parents own
Speaker 2: child care centers. Growing up, they made me do my
Speaker 2: teaching degree. I didn't enjoy it. I left after a
Speaker 2: few years and went to another profession. Twenty years later,
Speaker 2: I own child care centers. Haha, hey mate, Chips and
Speaker 2: curry sauce. It's part of the Scottish dart. We haven't here.

Speaker 2: it from us, so it must come in packets. My
Speaker 2: mother Linda from Bayswaters in bed now listening to you.
Speaker 2: She's one hundred and one tomorrow. I see bitcoin is
Speaker 2: sky high again, which I'm slightly interested in. The Only
Speaker 2: thing I want to know about bitcoin is how many
Speaker 2: people have made money in bitcoin and how many people
Speaker 2: have had their bitcoin stolen and lost it. I guess
Speaker 2: there are people that make a lot of money, but
Speaker 2: until you sell it, you haven't really realized it, have you.
Speaker 2: You might have some bitcoin investment stories. I'm always kind
Speaker 2: of curious about those US government one hundred ninety eight
Speaker 2: billion dollars invested, not as much as Setoshi Nakamoto. He's
Speaker 2: got one trillion, he or she John, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 12: Oh hello Marcus. Talking about careers and following in your
Speaker 12: father's footsteps. My father was a farmer and a successful farmer.
Speaker 12: And I was sent off to boarding school and timorrow
Speaker 12: and at the end of my four years boarding, I
Speaker 12: had a very short interview with the Careers Master careers advisor,
Speaker 12: and I was, along with many other leavers, ushered into
Speaker 12: his office and he looked at me. He looked at
Speaker 12: the notes he had in front of him, and he said, now, Smith,
Speaker 12: you'll become a farmer, won't you like your father? And
Speaker 12: I said, yes, sir, and I ultimately did become a farmer.
Speaker 12: For twenty odd years, I was a square peg in
Speaker 12: a round hole. But it was a wonderful environment to
Speaker 12: bring up three sons. But when my oldest son was
Speaker 12: in his second year in high school, I'd had a
Speaker 12: guts full of farming, putting up with droughts most of
Speaker 12: the time. It was a very pleasant occupation. But I
Speaker 12: never made a lot of money, but I was able
Speaker 12: to bring up with three healthy sons. But after twenty
Speaker 12: years of farming, I went to my father and I said, Dad,
Speaker 12: I want to sell the farm. He had helped me
Speaker 12: into this farm, for which I am forever grateful for.
Speaker 12: I didn't like it, and I said, Dad, I'm going
Speaker 12: to sell the farm. And he said, I think that
Speaker 12: might be a bloody good idea, because I think for
Speaker 12: twenty odd years he hadn't propped me up financially as such.
Speaker 12: But I did get a small loan from my mother.
Speaker 2: Okay, long story short, Where did you go into and
Speaker 2: then what did your son do?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 12: Well, in many ways, I pulled the rug out from
Speaker 12: under my sons. I think they all thought they would
Speaker 12: become farmers, but they've all become very successful living in
Speaker 12: the city. The two oldest ones, sadly, the youngest one
Speaker 12: died of from natural causes. But I went, having sold
Speaker 12: the farm, floundered around for about two years doing bits
Speaker 12: of this and bits of that. I scored a job
Speaker 12: working as a civil servant in the Justice Department, which
Speaker 12: I thoroughly enjoyed, and I think the small role I
Speaker 12: had there I was reasonably good at. But I was
Speaker 12: never happier. But to anybody that is in that situation.
Speaker 12: As I was, don't hesitate. If you're not happy what
Speaker 12: you're doing, for God's sake, change direction and I think
Speaker 12: ultimately you will decide you've made the right decision.
Speaker 2: Live with it. Job. But thank you so much that
Speaker 2: Jamie Marcus good evening.
Speaker 13: Hey Mark you good.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 13: Jamie got me thinking about what you put on your
Speaker 13: chip and chicken salt is very Australian and you know
Speaker 13: you've become a alien when you go to the fish
Speaker 13: and tip shop and you ask the chicken sole on
Speaker 13: your chips. I think that should be forget. Once you
Speaker 13: do that, you should get your Australian past.
Speaker 2: It's sneaking into news. I see it sneaking into news
Speaker 2: in and maybe since you left, Jamie, But can you
Speaker 2: tell me what chicken salters.
Speaker 13: From my recent was one fishing chip shop that done
Speaker 13: it in Adelaide and then it became Australian wide. But
Speaker 13: it just makes your chips taste like But how do
Speaker 13: they buy a bag?
Speaker 2: How do they make it?
Speaker 13: I wouldn't have the clothes. They must be like chicken
Speaker 13: stuff or something. But you I worked very much as
Speaker 13: an institution.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I'm hearing it and it's yeah, No,
Speaker 2: what's chicken salt? Could someone tell me? Thank you, Jamie,
Speaker 2: Bruce Marcus welcome.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, that was quick. Chicken salt.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 3: When I go to the local pump, they say, and
Speaker 3: when I ask for chips, they said, do you want
Speaker 3: chicken salt or do you want ordinary salt?
Speaker 2: I don't even know what chicken salders. It might be stock.
Speaker 3: No, I have no idea. But no, I rang up
Speaker 3: about big.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something interesting. I've
Speaker 2: looted my years of talkback. Bruce, do you know what?
Speaker 2: Do you want to know?
Speaker 13: What it is?
Speaker 6: Go on?
Speaker 2: I reckon. People are always bess talking about what they've
Speaker 2: rung up about. Sometimes they the topics. Sometimes the topics
Speaker 2: we end are when they're on a hold and they
Speaker 2: feel they need to talk about and they're always terrible edits.
Speaker 2: So anyway, No.
Speaker 3: No, But but coin, I think I think I mentioned
Speaker 3: to you before that I got ripped off ten thousand
Speaker 3: dollars with bitcoin. I bought a couple of bitcoin early
Speaker 3: on I think twenty thirteen or something, and then I
Speaker 3: sent another ten thousand dollars to mount Gox in Japan
Speaker 3: and they immediately went broke.
Speaker 2: So if they do, they go broken with a hecked
Speaker 2: box exchange.
Speaker 3: I don't really understand that very complicated issue. But if
Speaker 3: they'd given me all the bitcoin that I thought i'd bought,
Speaker 3: then it would have been a couple of million. But
Speaker 3: never mind. But what I do, what I still think
Speaker 3: about bitcoin with the couple that I've still got, and
Speaker 3: as you've said, it's just gone up to I think
Speaker 3: about one hundred and eighty thousand dollars per coin. That
Speaker 3: it's the first digital scarcity. So I still think it's
Speaker 3: a good idea because people seem to be worried about
Speaker 3: this ever expansion of fear currency.
Speaker 2: And no, Bruce, is it security? You know where it is?
Speaker 3: Well, I know where mine is. I think on a
Speaker 3: thing which I keep secreted in my house.
Speaker 2: So you're not. So you've you've got all the codes
Speaker 2: and two different places and things like that. You're doing
Speaker 2: what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 3: I'm doing what I've been advised to do by people
Speaker 3: that know about this. Yeah. Absolutely, And how much is
Speaker 3: it worth? What the couple that I've got, Yes.
Speaker 2: You've got two bitcoin? Have you with four hundred thousand.
Speaker 3: Dollars which I paid, which I paid a thousand New
Speaker 3: Zealand all as long.
Speaker 2: When would you decide, Okay, this is a good time
Speaker 2: to get rid of them and liquid liquid liquid liquid
Speaker 2: ifi liquidate that asset.
Speaker 3: Well, no, my wife's still still working, so I don't
Speaker 3: need the money yet.
Speaker 11: Me.
Speaker 2: I mean, couldn't you couldn't you? Look, what does she
Speaker 2: know you've got them?
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, and she knows how to get them
Speaker 3: out when I'm dead.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, but you didn't think she could stop. She
Speaker 2: doesn't think she'll stop working.
Speaker 3: Oh, she loves her work. Well, you spoke to her
Speaker 3: about twenty years ago when she was trying to make
Speaker 3: Golden Bay the first plastic bag free town, and you
Speaker 3: said to her, it's a slow day for news. So
Speaker 3: I'm ringing you up.
Speaker 2: Did she succeed, Yeah, she succeeded. She actually that took
Speaker 2: off for the whole country. Yes, she's a visionary.
Speaker 3: Well, no, she's very precious and I hope she keeps working.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, that's she's still involved in that space, the
Speaker 2: banning the bag space.
Speaker 3: No, she's given up on that. She's making Willow Coffins brilliant.
Speaker 2: I think I would have spoken to her about Willow Coffins
Speaker 2: as well. Bruce, thank you very very much for that. Gosh.
Speaker 2: I wonder how the Winklevoss twins. I remember those the
Speaker 2: winkle Vy, the Winklevoss twins that invented Facebook and got
Speaker 2: all that money paid out. They put it all into bitcoin,
Speaker 2: like at the beginning, and they put it in two
Speaker 2: different safes, the combinations and two different continents or two
Speaker 2: different states across the world. Must be worth billions and
Speaker 2: billions by now. Sorry about the noise. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: dubb in some shoes that the leather's dry. That's not
Speaker 2: going to do with them on air tonight. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure about dubbin. Can you make your own? Someone said,
Speaker 2: I've heard Bruce's voice on the phone trying to sell
Speaker 2: AI investments. Really, Ed Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 10: Good thing, Marcus.
Speaker 7: How are you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 9: Ed?
Speaker 7: Marcus just wanted to talk about the different flavorings that
Speaker 7: go on chips. Yeah. I ran a fish and chip
Speaker 7: slash take it way BA for sixteen years, and when,
Speaker 7: for instance, garlic salt and chicken salt, garlic and chicken
Speaker 7: salt became big things, I found we were getting charged
Speaker 7: over and above what was actually in it. And so
Speaker 7: in the end I just started making my own and
Speaker 7: the feedback literally was very very good.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 7: It's what a lot of people don't realize is they
Speaker 7: don't actually know what's going into these products. And there
Speaker 7: was a see they recently on the packaged soups that
Speaker 7: and actually how bad they are. You know, anything pre made,
Speaker 7: you're just putting your body full of conservatives.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So my advice to anyone would be on a
Speaker 7: quiet night at home as a go making your own.
Speaker 7: You know, the same with the curry chips. It's not
Speaker 7: hard to make a thin based curry sauce and you'd
Speaker 7: be amazed how much nicer and how much better value
Speaker 7: for money you get.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got a kind of questions for your ed.
Speaker 2: So when did chicken salt become a big thing? Like
Speaker 2: is it twenty years ago or is it how long
Speaker 2: you've been out of the game.
Speaker 7: Probably I'll be out of the game for about ten years.
Speaker 7: So it was just pretty much coming and then, and
Speaker 7: as I say, it was probably filled with lots of
Speaker 7: things that really shouldn't be putting.
Speaker 2: Who was who was promoting it, where we was it
Speaker 2: Where were you buying it from? We were buying it
Speaker 2: at the warehouse or.
Speaker 7: The wholesale is like in Wnington Safe Keevity Coast. We
Speaker 7: go to a place called more Wilson's and paces so
Speaker 7: more By.
Speaker 2: And bulk so more Wilson's. So they drove the chicken salt.
Speaker 2: There'd be big cans of chicken salt which you'd put
Speaker 2: on the chips.
Speaker 7: It were being say two two three kg packet packets
Speaker 7: of it, you know, big pastic packets, and you just
Speaker 7: added to your salt. But as I said, it's not
Speaker 7: rocket science, and it's it's fun to have a bit
Speaker 7: of experience experiment, you know, on your own.
Speaker 2: What do you reckon? Wasn't it?
Speaker 7: Well they have all those different numbers and they you know,
Speaker 7: so flavoring intnet. So as I see it, keep it simple,
Speaker 7: Stupid's probably the best thing. And when you make something
Speaker 7: your own, you know exactly what's in and what's not in.
Speaker 7: At Marcus, but.
Speaker 2: Would Chicken Sell have chicken in it?
Speaker 7: Now? It would be like you know how you see
Speaker 7: the banana flavoring it's yellow, but banana's actually white. It's
Speaker 7: the fish gets yellow, you know, So it's yeah, people
Speaker 7: don't really know.
Speaker 2: So it's just like it's just like flavor enhancers exactly.
Speaker 7: Marcus.
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate that. Ed Evening, Mike, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 14: Hi here a you going Toime?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mike, thanks for asking real good.
Speaker 9: Y.
Speaker 14: Sorry about full and son doing the same job.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I'm fifty seven. My father died two months before I
Speaker 14: was born, and when I decided to leave school, I
Speaker 14: was walking through the ads, you know, written, have no
Speaker 14: idea what I wanted to do. Job advertised for a
Speaker 14: parts junior at the new Land Ford and I wouldn't
Speaker 14: believe what my mother said to me. Your dad worked there.
Speaker 14: I couldn't believe it. Neven never knew that.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 14: Two years later we did a trade certificate in parts
Speaker 14: of merchandising tame as a trade of certificate and mechanical engineering.
Speaker 14: And when my mother died about eleven years ago, going
Speaker 14: through the things, I found a trade certificate effect open
Speaker 14: mind with high father's they want it.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: That's that's quite a moving story, because it sounds like
Speaker 2: you might have heard it a feebit from him.
Speaker 14: Never met the guy, but I've been hearing a few
Speaker 14: things from him, for sure.
Speaker 2: That's amazing. So so without even knowing it or knowing
Speaker 2: your father, you became exactly what he'd done, exactly right here,
Speaker 2: and it was good and you were good at it. It
Speaker 2: was a good career.
Speaker 14: I was still good forty years and tis now a
Speaker 14: manager at a multi frenchise dealership. Yes, still me, still
Speaker 14: doing it.
Speaker 2: That's kind of old school now that you're the same
Speaker 2: company for forty years. That doesn't happen much in these days,
Speaker 2: does it.
Speaker 14: I know, not for the same company. I've been with
Speaker 14: us company about fifteen but same same in the street.
Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant Mike. Nice to hear from you. Thank you.
Speaker 2: A lot of texts heading down the bluff to thorrow
Speaker 2: if the wister festival for a few days, what else
Speaker 2: is to do? And seeing bluff she's well, the weathers turned,
Speaker 2: the weather's turned, and I think Vanessa's sober driver for
Speaker 2: the RSA. So yeah, you gave me to her. She
Speaker 2: here a few things to say twenty away from ten
Speaker 2: oh eight hundred and eighty to Pete Marcus.
Speaker 15: Welcome, you know Marcus, I just what do you think
Speaker 15: about the budget today? This was like a bit of
Speaker 15: a two topic thing here do you reckon there was
Speaker 15: a scram will felt the lollies today? There's a quotation
Speaker 15: that Chris Sims use just I just listened to it before,
Speaker 15: so I reckon there's no lolly to give it out anyway.
Speaker 15: They gave it out too many lolies, didn't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I'm not sure how. I'm not sure how
Speaker 2: those there's all this incentive for business for buying things, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I would have thought the big business where the
Speaker 2: growth is is not based on buildings and equipment. It's
Speaker 2: based on personnel. And all the personnel of left to
Speaker 2: go to Australia and they're the real businesses. I mean
Speaker 2: that the new businesses aren't your factories are the ones
Speaker 2: with it with huge numbers of people working and doing
Speaker 2: stuff around the world. Well, that's not going to help
Speaker 2: them because their major costs is keeping their best people.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that I think that particular, that
Speaker 2: particular thrust is slightly dated. That's my only take, but
Speaker 2: you know, we'll wait and see the figures anyway. Oyster
Speaker 2: salt not oys to salt, but chicken salt.
Speaker 6: Yeah, chicken salt.
Speaker 15: Tack and save here and New Plymouth or you to
Speaker 15: sell like drumsticks and wings and that, and they chips,
Speaker 15: you say, have stir rice and the vechies and stuff.
Speaker 15: But they used to do very well. And when you
Speaker 15: got the chips, he had a small, you know, a
Speaker 15: small or large size or meat the small, small, medium, large,
Speaker 15: and they'd three sizes there. They always said, do you
Speaker 15: want chicken your chips, and I said, I wouldn't be
Speaker 15: there or buy. I've held the chicken sold on like.
Speaker 2: A joke because they want chicken with your chips, chicken
Speaker 2: salt with your chips.
Speaker 15: You know what they made. We know what the salt's
Speaker 15: made of.
Speaker 2: Chicken salt.
Speaker 15: I just looked like before. It's called a blend of seasoning,
Speaker 15: typically including salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper eka and
Speaker 15: chicken stock powder blend together the.
Speaker 2: Chicken stock powder.
Speaker 15: Any good, Well, that's what I know what it is.
Speaker 15: But I always used to when they used to sell
Speaker 15: them the chip. They not do you and even know why.
Speaker 15: But I always used to get the chips put the
Speaker 15: we have the chicken salt, and I wouldn't buy them.
Speaker 15: They were so tasty and they've gone away from it.
Speaker 15: I don't know why they've done that. Peck and say
Speaker 15: they used to do. Really, I think the pack and
Speaker 15: say they're getting they want fast. They don't want to
Speaker 15: have too much people hanging around, like serving chips in
Speaker 15: that a lot of people used to buy them and
Speaker 15: they got done away with them. With that side of it.
Speaker 15: You used to be to be heated chipsy. You sweat
Speaker 15: there and you've got your chips and you got your
Speaker 15: chicken fries. You know, it's really nice. But they're not
Speaker 15: fear anymore. And I said to the people behind the counter,
Speaker 15: why have the management gone away from this? They didn't
Speaker 15: really are so they said they don't want to do
Speaker 15: it anymore. I saw fast.
Speaker 16: I'm a sooner.
Speaker 15: It's a big loss of the business going.
Speaker 2: Hang on, I zoned out, What are they gone away
Speaker 2: from chicken salt?
Speaker 15: No, they're not. They're not selling the chips anymore. They're
Speaker 15: not selling the chicken wings anymore.
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. I reckon. Last time, I
Speaker 2: wasn't peck and say it looks like most people have
Speaker 2: just called crawled out of bead to put their bodies
Speaker 2: on to go there. They're probably not holding people around
Speaker 2: because they want to go back to bed.
Speaker 15: No, it was always poppular people always got I don't
Speaker 15: know why that they always just to run out and
Speaker 15: they stock them out with you chips. It was a
Speaker 15: it's a good little business. But it's I think I
Speaker 15: just too. I think I was maybe it's too labor
Speaker 15: content or something they're not doing anymore, and I just couldn't.
Speaker 15: They've done it for years. They to do all way
Speaker 15: of it. If I had a good business and I
Speaker 15: was doing there's something that there's money spinning to you.
Speaker 15: I don't understand how they how they do some of
Speaker 15: these things.
Speaker 17: At times, I like.
Speaker 2: I have a chat with the people behind the counters
Speaker 2: at Peck and say, oh, there's Peter Gain there you
Speaker 2: game Pete. What about those chips? Oh yeah, about those chips.
Speaker 2: Anything in the budge, anything in the budget for you Pete?
Speaker 15: Oh no, I think we're in a bit of a
Speaker 15: tight street.
Speaker 2: Anything anything for you and the budget?
Speaker 15: No, not really, I don't think. No, it's the same old,
Speaker 15: same old end of the day. They just try to
Speaker 15: save money they do.
Speaker 2: You know, I want I want to know how to
Speaker 2: affect is affecting your Kiwi Saver or anything?
Speaker 15: Not really, I don't have a kV Savery said I
Speaker 15: got your own private one sort of thing I don't like.
Speaker 2: Are you too good for are you too good for
Speaker 2: kV S?
Speaker 15: No, you say, like the government systems, they just chopping
Speaker 15: changing things all the time.
Speaker 2: And hang on, I think, but can we save it
Speaker 2: goes privately? You choose your provider?
Speaker 15: Oh you do, but yeah, but I've got one on
Speaker 15: GENISIDS I was seven years of age. That was called
Speaker 15: the natural neutral.
Speaker 2: You want to get out of that? Can we save?
Speaker 2: You be making a pecket?
Speaker 15: The government puts it's compulsory saving, so I get a
Speaker 15: bit of money when I retire. So I think he
Speaker 15: said everybody has different ways of doing things, and I
Speaker 15: think it's work there to work for me.
Speaker 13: So far.
Speaker 2: Could have worked out better with the key we saver though, Pete.
Speaker 15: Oh I could have done, I suppose. But yeah, but
Speaker 15: you don't know what the government's going to do with things.
Speaker 15: You've got your own, you've got your own control of it.
Speaker 2: I think you've got your own CONTROLLI your key, we
Speaker 2: save it to the private provider cheapest. Doubting Thomas, I
Speaker 2: don't want to disparage my callers, right, do you want
Speaker 2: to understand what people was saying? Does he not like
Speaker 2: his chips to taste like chips? Does he wants chips
Speaker 2: to taste like chicken? Because I quite like the chips.
Speaker 2: I mean very rarely when I get chips, But I'd
Speaker 2: never want my chips to taste like chicken. Otherwise I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have got chips. It's like getting your leamington to
Speaker 2: try and taste like a mango. If you wanted a mango,
Speaker 2: you get a mango. You wouldn't get a Lamington with
Speaker 2: mango salt, would you? If there's such a thing, it
Speaker 2: can't work it out. What's with mangoes too? They're delicious,
Speaker 2: aren't they? It's just strange shaped pip, Marcus, Do you
Speaker 2: want I remember the little packets of potato chips that
Speaker 2: include a little bag of salt that you opened their
Speaker 2: to yourself, Marcus. That parts guy Mike just called. He's
Speaker 2: a made of mine and a real top guy. Fantastic

Speaker 2: Welcome Marcus, Marcus Craig speaking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been working down at the port there Bluff
Speaker 4: and the Maritime Museum is awesome here, and a lot
Speaker 4: of people fish off the bridge just going onto the port.
Speaker 4: It's it's a great place. It's it's an awesome place
Speaker 4: down there.
Speaker 2: Has it been good for you at the port Craig
Speaker 2: has been blowing a gale or have you left the
Speaker 2: last couple of.
Speaker 4: Days it's yeah, but but but of both, I don't
Speaker 4: think the weather's that different over the whole of the
Speaker 4: south Old really.
Speaker 2: Well, it has been. It has been a good order,
Speaker 2: but the day was bad. But I'm glad you mentioned
Speaker 2: the Maritime Museum because it's sort of out of the
Speaker 2: way and people driving through town. It's in a terrible
Speaker 2: place really, and I'm sure most people miss it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you wouldn't really know it's there. You just head
Speaker 4: towards the port and it's right there, so.
Speaker 2: And there's a there's a noise to There's an oister
Speaker 2: ship right next to it too, so you can see
Speaker 2: that and that's normally a cure. And I've got a
Speaker 2: bet it's been a few years since I'm being there,
Speaker 2: although I was helping the boy do some stuff on
Speaker 2: a project on the light dog on a lighthouse and
Speaker 2: the glass from that's in there too, so I didn't
Speaker 2: mean to go there sometimes soon. So yeah's your's your home, Craig.
Speaker 4: I'm sort of living in christ here. I do live
Speaker 4: in too Marina times as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I get.
Speaker 4: Around all the ports and I work on the shipping
Speaker 4: fratrated shipping containers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is well on fixing the containers.
Speaker 4: They regret refrigerated ones.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: We sort of get them ready to every time they
Speaker 4: get used, they have to be tested and made sure
Speaker 4: that they're good to go. They they sort of get corroded,
Speaker 4: a lot of corrosion, and of course they get dropped
Speaker 4: and smashed into. Yeah, so and of course they break
Speaker 4: the refrograted ones they break down and on the ships
Speaker 4: and all over the place of the packing points.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's quite a bit of maintenance to get
Speaker 2: them all back up and ready.
Speaker 17: Then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's pretty full on, especially the moment. You're
Speaker 4: getting really good prices for the the dairy of the
Speaker 4: beef that I think the land. So they yeah, it's
Speaker 4: all go at the moment. Yeah, bluss flat out. And
Speaker 4: I'm in Christi it's still the moment, but I'm heading
Speaker 4: down there on Sunday to work so for the week again.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's going on.
Speaker 2: How they've got a place they put you up where
Speaker 2: you stay in town.
Speaker 4: I stayed in town. Yeah, I'm at the Owls, I think,
Speaker 4: and I think it's called the Sueborn Actually.
Speaker 2: Yep, it will be the Sue Well know that Greig.
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting bit of information, Marcus. Nineteen percent of
Speaker 2: a fuel ship is used to keep the containers refrigerated. Marcus.
Speaker 2: Pouring down at the NRL and city always raining over there,
Speaker 2: I completely agree. I'm surprised how well the pictures hold
Speaker 2: up because some of those pictures get a lot of play.
Speaker 2: But just bucketing down the dolphins ahead of the bulldogs.
Speaker 2: Of course the Crichton and everyone's away from the bulldogs
Speaker 2: because of state of origin duties. I think the hammer
Speaker 2: might not be there either, Marcus. I'd like to buy
Speaker 2: tickets to the Doors Tribute, Contint and the Cargo on
Speaker 2: Saturday night, happy to pay double the face value. Chairs.
Speaker 2: I haven't got any tickets, and I won't put you
Speaker 2: in touch anyone else Nest they're robbers. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know how we can do that, Marcus. How much
Speaker 2: does it cost to transmit an emergency alert test every
Speaker 2: mobile phone nationwide as has been advertised, so we all
Speaker 2: know to expect a test to lurt the Sunday evening, Marcus.
Speaker 2: I spoke to you from City two years ago about
Speaker 2: the need for the government to increase key we savor,
Speaker 2: and you discounted my idea as not likely to happen
Speaker 2: and now it is something good has come out of
Speaker 2: the budget. Thanks today Kiwi boy John. It's going from
Speaker 2: three to four percent as the default. But I don't
Speaker 2: know that the I don't necessarily know that the employees
Speaker 2: match that, do they that I could see? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, you don't get that five hundred year. It's
Speaker 2: means tested. You don't get that money each year or something.
Speaker 2: Marcus Top Taste Chicken and chips franchise is usually in
Speaker 2: dairies further away from the main areas. They offered chicken,
Speaker 2: sald and other seasoning. I had the tenders of the
Speaker 2: chips box. That's like that country fried chicken too, which
Speaker 2: is quite good. Marcus. Net loss from the budget for me,
Speaker 2: lose the government keiw savor contribution. Looking forward to seeing
Speaker 2: my trading neighbors driving the latest highlux at twenty percent
Speaker 2: discount though. Yeah, that's what it's all going to mean
Speaker 2: a lot of utes, But I think don't think you
Speaker 2: are going to drive big business. Are they? By the way,
Speaker 2: the top miserable names in the UK? Yeah, this is
Speaker 2: quite interesting. Participants. We're giving a long list of names
Speaker 2: and asked to tick all those they believed were the
Speaker 2: most upbeat or the grumpiest. The people with the most
Speaker 2: miserable names Victor, Susan, Nigel, Karen, Mark, Jeremy, Clive, Hassan,
Speaker 2: Jeff Bryan. And the ten happiest names are not that different. Dave, Katie, Charlie, Emily, Lucy, Poppy,
Speaker 2: they all end, and why that must just give people
Speaker 2: a peppy kind of an upbeat thing, Ben, Jack, Tom
Speaker 2: and Muhammad?
Speaker 17: Do you go?
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to inspire any talk
Speaker 2: off you, Marcus. The best ever curry sauce is curry powder,
Speaker 2: half milk, half cream and a packet of Maggie soup
Speaker 2: mixed to thicken. What flavor Maggie soup to thicken? I'd
Speaker 2: like some recipes for curry sauce because I'm not entirely sure.
Speaker 2: I know how to make it, but never know what
Speaker 2: it is actually must be like a curry flavored gravy.
Speaker 2: I don't know whether that's true or not. But you
Speaker 2: might want to talk about that here till midnight tonight.
Speaker 2: Anything else you want to talk about too, feel free
Speaker 2: to get in touch. You might be out there doing something
Speaker 2: interesting tonight. And the other thing. Maybe someone went to
Speaker 2: one of those pub choirs I saw. The town hall
Speaker 2: was full of people that if you want to tell
Speaker 2: me a bit about that, I know people who buy
Speaker 2: a box of Japanese curry from the soup market. They
Speaker 2: love it. Haven't tried it myself, Japanese curry, if anyone
Speaker 2: knows about that, Marcus, crickets have finally shut up, ever
Speaker 2: so grateful loads of rats about peanut butter works of
Speaker 2: the trap. Janie Marcus. Sorry, Jennie Marcus.
Speaker 9: Good evening, Hi Marcus. I've just been listening to the
Speaker 9: conversation about the curry sauce. I did two seasons in
Speaker 9: South ye Cuttle was up to thirty odd Irish harvesters
Speaker 9: out here for the season harvesting, harvesting maize and grass.
Speaker 9: And their staple meal was hot chips covered with a
Speaker 9: curry sauce and the grated cheese on top. And that's
Speaker 9: their equivalent of caviat to our semon and whatever.
Speaker 2: Wow, oh, they love it, and that's a meal in itself.
Speaker 9: It's an absolute mirror in themselves. And I mean they
Speaker 9: would eat copious amounts followed by a vanilla ice cream
Speaker 9: and apple pie.
Speaker 2: So they have deep fried chips, yes.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they have deep fried chips, and while it's still
Speaker 9: very hot, with a liberal shake of plain salt, nothing fancy,
Speaker 9: you'd pour the hot curry sauce over and they liked
Speaker 9: it a bit hot, not a mild curry, a bit
Speaker 9: a bit hot. And there's just bowls of grated cheese
Speaker 9: and they sprinkle it over it. No, in heaven.
Speaker 2: Are all the food groups there.
Speaker 9: Pretty much? You know, good good work for a cardiologist.
Speaker 2: Did you did you?
Speaker 11: Were you?
Speaker 17: Jo?
Speaker 2: You don't take this the wrong way? But were you
Speaker 2: the cock?
Speaker 9: I was, okay, take it.
Speaker 2: Take it the wrong way then, because the nub of
Speaker 2: this is what was in the curry sauce.
Speaker 9: Oh yes, the curry sauce was a mixture. Again, it
Speaker 9: was you know, heart to tech material. It was a
Speaker 9: roue and then you put I put half cooking cream
Speaker 9: and half water in to try and break it down
Speaker 9: a bit and a good dash of a hot curry
Speaker 9: and just made it nice and sick. But you know, pourable,
Speaker 9: and yeah, I do so so that they'd wipe out
Speaker 9: four liters, no problem.
Speaker 2: So when you say a good curry, you just mix
Speaker 2: up curry powder? Is that what you do?
Speaker 9: A good quality curry powder? And just make sure that
Speaker 9: you get it put it in with the flour and
Speaker 9: the butter and when you're making a room, and just
Speaker 9: make sure that you cook it a while so it
Speaker 9: hasn't got that. Yeah, you've got to get a bit
Speaker 9: of flavor through it. And then I just used a
Speaker 9: good cooking cream so it wouldn't split and either you know,
Speaker 9: if there was milk from the cows, and we put
Speaker 9: milk and it's not just put some water in it.
Speaker 2: So it's flour. It's basically flour, butter, cream and curry powder.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, didn't I didn't know.
Speaker 2: Irish workers came out to do the corner the maze.
Speaker 8: Yes.
Speaker 9: Here there's a big thread of them that come out
Speaker 9: to a couple of contractors them in White Cuttle each year.
Speaker 2: And that's every meal is just the chips and.
Speaker 9: That No, that would be the evening meal. The fits
Speaker 9: that have they lived on eggs in the morning. They
Speaker 9: loved their New Zealand eggs and very easy to feed
Speaker 9: because it was just meat, potatoes, ice cream, apple sauce
Speaker 9: and curry chips. They wouldn't need anything green. I made
Speaker 9: them more. They will had sandwiches to order because most
Speaker 9: of them don't eat green. They say they're not rabbits.
Speaker 9: They wouldn't need anything green or red, but they love
Speaker 9: the red sauce I used to provide at night, so
Speaker 9: I'd have to scrape any evidence of it being tomato
Speaker 9: sauce auce the containers.
Speaker 2: Wow, it's amazing.
Speaker 9: Very interesting, not but incredibly funny, jovial, very funny, very
Speaker 9: hard working and incredibly loyal.
Speaker 2: And they would they would be they would be living
Speaker 2: and working on farms in Ireland, is that right? They
Speaker 2: do half a season there.
Speaker 9: Their idea of a farm. When May we were working
Speaker 9: sort of around Lochinvar area and we lived we all
Speaker 9: lived together, and of course I'd be up a sort
Speaker 9: of good to four in the morning to get the
Speaker 9: first lot of guys up and fed and out of
Speaker 9: the door, and then every sort of half hour after
Speaker 9: that another shift of guys would go through because they
Speaker 9: all have different tasks.
Speaker 2: Did they have chips with their eggs in the morning?
Speaker 9: No, No, I wasn't that keen on that. Some things
Speaker 9: I'm happy to do, but chips four thirty in the
Speaker 9: morning's too much for even me.
Speaker 2: Didn't seem like you manage to change many of their
Speaker 2: habits that way.
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, but they were very happy within his young street.
Speaker 9: They loved porridge and the cream and the brown sugar,
Speaker 9: and those who didn't have porridge would often just have
Speaker 9: poached eggs on toast, and they did like the kiwi
Speaker 9: they'd been.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I very very interesting, Jenny. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: There we go. Curry sauce. That's what's wrong with Would
Speaker 2: you gave it to me chip shops? I've never seen
Speaker 2: it much in the chip shops in New Zealand. You
Speaker 2: might have something to say about that. Get in touch,
Speaker 2: Marcus till twelve. Oh, by the way, Emily CIT's onion
Speaker 2: soup mix that she puts in her curry sauce. Get
Speaker 2: in touch, Marcus. That's me. How are you? What's happening?
Speaker 2: Anything else you want to bang on about tonight? God?
Speaker 2: I welcome that. I welcome that a lot. We didn't
Speaker 2: find out what building was on fire. And Cromwell and
Speaker 2: barries Av. I know barries Av quite well. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm curious to know about that. Anyway, jumping, if you
Speaker 2: want to talk, my name is Marcus.
Speaker 6: Welcome.
Speaker 2: The floods in Australia seem very bad. I don't know
Speaker 2: if they're progressively getting worse. So it's hard for me
Speaker 2: to get a sense of it's hard for me to
Speaker 2: find a good Australian news website to get information from.
Speaker 2: But I'll bring you the latest one I can. But
Speaker 2: if anyone's out there listening in Australia, if you can
Speaker 2: get to a phone and be good to talk to
Speaker 2: you about that. Also, now there's now a damn spill fear.
Speaker 2: I think there's always a damn spill fear in Australia. Evening,
Speaker 2: Garyet's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 7: How are you Marcus?
Speaker 2: Gary?
Speaker 18: About fifteen plus years ago I went to Bluff Boyster
Speaker 18: Festival and I met a very interesting character there. His
Speaker 18: name was Peter Arnett, and I think he came from
Speaker 18: Bluff originally, and maybe I think his mother was even
Speaker 18: alive still she lived till she was a pretty ripe
Speaker 18: old age.
Speaker 2: But I think he might be right. I think she
Speaker 2: was famously old.
Speaker 18: Yes, yes, and well a few oysters and a few
Speaker 18: few quite bears. He was a very interesting character.
Speaker 5: He really was.
Speaker 2: Yea for those that don't know, bag bad bag Dad Pete.
Speaker 2: He was the guy on the roof during the start
Speaker 2: of Golf World golf War one. Is that sort of
Speaker 2: when CNN came around, he was there with a fixed
Speaker 2: camera covering the invasion and was quite famous.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 18: Absolutely, they were coming in incoming over. Yeah, so he
Speaker 18: had a few stories to tell. But I'm pretty sure
Speaker 18: he was a bluff boy originally a Southern Times. I
Speaker 18: think he is apprenticeship at the Southern Times. Maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't the Southern Times, and he was involved
Speaker 2: I think Vietnam. He went to there during the Vietnam War.
Speaker 2: I mean, he seemed to be a feeling, seemed to
Speaker 2: be a fairly ambitious sort of a He got an
Speaker 2: interview with Bin Laden. But yeah, I'm certain that his mother.
Speaker 18: She lived a rife all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm absolutely I'm absolutely sure you're right about that.
Speaker 2: As far as as far as as far as a builder,
Speaker 2: I think they talk about the ar I think there's
Speaker 2: four houses on four corners that were built by his father.
Speaker 2: One of them was there the other.
Speaker 7: Three also, Oh that's great.
Speaker 2: Are you coming back to the festival this year?

Speaker 16: I put a couple of eggs and to boil, boil
Speaker 16: the eggs, and I forgot about them.
Speaker 14: Wow.
Speaker 16: Then I could smell smoke, and so I thought it
Speaker 16: was one of the heaters. So I was rushing around
Speaker 16: trying to see what was going on. It's quite strong.
Speaker 2: Hang on, I need to talk to you about this.
Speaker 2: Did the kittle did the did the pot boil dry?
Speaker 16: Yeah? Completely, and the eggs exploded.

Speaker 2: I'm serious, this is serious.
Speaker 16: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Have you got smoke alarms? Yes, sure, I'm surprised. I'm surprised.
Speaker 2: But you took the metries out?
Speaker 16: Yeah, because they make too much noise.
Speaker 2: Jane, you can't do that.
Speaker 16: I know, I know, but I never do this, Jen.
Speaker 16: J could have died, I could have burnt the house down.
Speaker 2: Who key's about the house? So what are you going
Speaker 2: to do tomorrow?
Speaker 16: I'll stick the battery bacon.
Speaker 2: Can you get up?
Speaker 16: No, I haven't got it stuck on the wall or
Speaker 16: roof because it's too high. You can't reach it even
Speaker 16: with the broom handle. The stairs on the stairway, your.
Speaker 2: Two story house, Yeah, you don't sound like a two
Speaker 2: story person. I picked you more in a humble I
Speaker 2: picked you more in a humble workers cottage.
Speaker 6: Well, look at you, seven bedrooms for goodness, For goodness, burwell,
Speaker 6: wouldn't it.
Speaker 16: So it's an old filler.
Speaker 2: So it's the timber. So the stairwell that you put
Speaker 2: the smoke alarm on? The stairs? Yes, can the smoke
Speaker 2: get into it?
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's not unclosed. It's at the end of the longe.
Speaker 2: It's one of those one of those. It's one of
Speaker 2: those rectangular batteries, is it.
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because it's only started beeping because it's out of battery,
Speaker 2: so you need to go and get another one.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it seems to be me burning things in the oven.
Speaker 16: It's well, it gets on the element or something.
Speaker 12: And then.
Speaker 2: You could have gone to bed and then you then
Speaker 2: you just wake up with the headlines woman dies and
Speaker 2: seven bedroom house. Yeah and flip, what will flip? Okay,
Speaker 2: so you'll do that. You'll do that tomorrow?
Speaker 15: Yees?
Speaker 16: So well, I promise, okay.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Otherwise I'll call the fieries and I'll come
Speaker 2: around to your house, Jen, and I'll put up with
Speaker 2: the ladder, because yeah, you need more than one. But
Speaker 2: let's just work what we can do. Flip. That makes
Speaker 2: it that I'm sad and sad and a little bit upset,
Speaker 2: a little bit disappointed by those Just Peter, and it's
Speaker 2: still alive. He's ninety according to wikipedie. I think so. Yes,
Speaker 2: he's got long jeans. Someone said Jenna needs to call
Speaker 2: the fiber again and they will fit the alarms for her.
Speaker 2: I presume, I presume that to be true. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: do it, but you can do that. Someone said, don't
Speaker 2: put smoke alarms in kitchen. Can get heat alarm from
Speaker 2: for kitchen, smoke alarms and beauty. I think you can
Speaker 2: put a smoke alam in the kitchen. I've seen no
Speaker 2: one say don't put a smoke alam in the kitchen,
Speaker 2: so I'm not sure if that's true advice what you're
Speaker 2: saying there. I'll put them everywhere. Get those twenty year ones,
Speaker 2: bang them up, bang them on, Phil Marcus, welcome Marcus.
Speaker 17: You've got to have smoke alarms.
Speaker 4: But I got.
Speaker 17: Packed off with mine going off all the time, and
Speaker 17: so what I did is because I don't use to
Speaker 17: up on top all the time time and also things.
Speaker 17: But as soon as I got an airfier, not only
Speaker 17: did my powerball go from two hundred and fifty months
Speaker 17: down to about one hundred and eightyon months from not
Speaker 17: heating up the oven all the time, there's the smoke
Speaker 17: alarms stopped going off all the time because the all
Speaker 17: the schemes are all encased in the air fire. Yeah,
Speaker 17: and the time each over cooking or burning anything. It
Speaker 17: was just the answer to everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I imagine why Jed's removed the battery, not
Speaker 2: because it's going off all the time, but because the
Speaker 2: batteries expanded to beeping because that's an annoying noise, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Does that chube like a cricket? Is that right? Marcus?
Speaker 2: He's gone by the way, self terminated. I don't know
Speaker 2: what happened to him, as Juny just ambling towards the
Speaker 2: news at eleven head on midnight. What do you got
Speaker 2: people's smoke alarms is the topic? Now would you have
Speaker 2: in a kitchen? Why not? In a kitchen? And curry
Speaker 2: sauce and Kiwi Saver? Is anyone's life changed by Kiwi Saver?
Speaker 2: Anyone retired? And thanks to ki We Save, I had
Speaker 2: a fortune at the end, A lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of emails. Where do all the emails come from? Marcus?
Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety three, I worked in come Ogawa, Japanese restaurant,
Speaker 2: up market totally authentic Japanese restaurant in Sydney, three hundred
Speaker 2: year old company, amazing food, love Japanese curry Roger, Thank

Speaker 2: Bakery and Cafe are using a high end two rangy
Speaker 2: Tucker tek. The people are raving over it boil up pies.
Speaker 2: What's that mean? Could you send me some more information
Speaker 2: about that? Good evening, David. Welcome here you go mate,
Speaker 2: Good David.
Speaker 20: Yeah, wondered what you thought about old McGregor. He wants
Speaker 20: to be Prime Minister of Ireland.
Speaker 2: Is this a joke?
Speaker 20: No, it's dead serious mate. You know there's the he
Speaker 20: fights in the Occo cheapers creepers.
Speaker 2: Connor really.
Speaker 20: Yeah, Connor MacGregor. He's come on, there's wasn't he.
Speaker 19: You know?
Speaker 20: I was just going to say, imagine crossing the floor
Speaker 20: with him, mate.
Speaker 2: Because they've always had that very gentle guy, that gentle
Speaker 2: tiny guy. Is that because I think they're a president
Speaker 2: of prime minister, haven't they?
Speaker 3: They?
Speaker 2: Has he announced that today?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 20: He said I want to make Ireland great again. I
Speaker 20: just wondered what you're sort of mate?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I mean I guess these days, anyone with
Speaker 2: a better profile, you know, Yeah, Okay, are their elections
Speaker 2: coming up?
Speaker 11: Do you think there must be?
Speaker 20: Yeah? You know he's you said there's far too many
Speaker 20: foreigners in the country. Can they causing the housing problem?
Speaker 2: That's rich coming from the is are the Irish that
Speaker 2: have spread everywhere that they can when the diaspora, they're
Speaker 2: spread all around the world, and now they can plain
Speaker 2: about too many other Well that's rich.
Speaker 20: Yeah, you potato fam and mate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, the potato when you look at the numbers
Speaker 2: of people that died in their potato fam and it
Speaker 2: was I mean it destroyed the country. I think there's
Speaker 2: still less people in Ireland now than there was before
Speaker 2: the famine.
Speaker 20: I think that Are they less in New Zealand?
Speaker 17: Are they?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think they're about four or they might be six.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it depends if you're talking about Northern Ireland
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 20: I think, oh okay, yeah. Now I'm Irish descent myself,
Speaker 20: but you know, I always sort of when I met them.
Speaker 20: They're always looking for a.
Speaker 2: Fight, the fighting Irish. David, thanks for that five point
Speaker 2: three million Republic of Ireland. There we go. They're pretty
Speaker 2: much like us. More trains though. Someone says Radio and
Speaker 2: New Zealand had sect of their budget relecated elsewhere. Ouch. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's terrible because they've said to them that they they'll
Speaker 2: get the money back when they improve the ratings, Well,
Speaker 2: how are they going to improve the ratings without the finances?
Speaker 2: It was a mad thing to have said. There, muld
Speaker 2: be furious because you're not going to employ the staff.
Speaker 2: You have to pay them. So I can't quite work
Speaker 2: out about that, but yeah, that was one of the
Speaker 2: They just had to be mean spirited that cut. I thought,
Speaker 2: think it's pretty important of a public broadcaster. Avering Scott Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 11: Hello Marcus, how are you tonight?
Speaker 2: Good? Thank you Scott, good to hear.
Speaker 11: The reason I'm calling is I had a bit of
Speaker 11: a weird situation tonight encountering or getting the information and
Speaker 11: from the covernment to me about the budget. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 11: so I'm online, specifically on YouTube and they streamed it
Speaker 11: from stuff, but you can't comment underneath stuff, so I've
Speaker 11: actually I called Parliament and spoke to a nice guy
Speaker 11: called Ethan, who apparently is at the front desk. I
Speaker 11: assume he's like, you know, if you had look at
Speaker 11: the front doors of all the stairs up to Parliament,
Speaker 11: he's somewhere in that hallowed ground. He got annoyed at
Speaker 11: me in fair enough, so I called another number. I
Speaker 11: just looked on New Zealand's website. If you've got an
Speaker 11: issue called this number kind of thing. And I thought
Speaker 11: we woke up some poor lady. Who she was. She
Speaker 11: tried to hide the fact that I'd woken her up,
Speaker 11: but I had, and she was trying to be so polite.
Speaker 2: What was what was her job?
Speaker 8: Where?
Speaker 2: Where did you find her?
Speaker 11: Services? Something?
Speaker 3: Services services?
Speaker 11: Yeah, and so yeah, I posted off someone else and
Speaker 11: it's like, okay, sorry, I just want to comment on YouTube,
Speaker 11: And so I ended up contacting another place and I'm
Speaker 11: not sure who they were actually, to be fair, they
Speaker 11: hung up on me for a while. But you still
Speaker 11: can't comment on the video of the well, I guess
Speaker 11: on YouTube it goes out to a lot of people.
Speaker 11: One would think.
Speaker 6: That we do.
Speaker 2: So who's who's posted the Is it the budget speech?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 11: Posted by stuff stuff News. So I did contact stuff
Speaker 11: News but got no dice there those guys apparently going
Speaker 11: to sleep at five in the afternoon. But yeah, uh
Speaker 11: in So it's just like, man, I just want to
Speaker 11: have my little five cents worth and apparently I'm having
Speaker 11: it with you now.
Speaker 2: So why did you want to comment on that?
Speaker 11: Quite a few reasons, to be to be fair, makers
Speaker 11: for any whom I say is going to put off someone.
Speaker 2: So I'll say, but what are you can do you want?
Speaker 2: I mean, surely if you're opposite with the government, right, yes,
Speaker 2: you would contact your local MP. Yes, have you thought
Speaker 2: of that?
Speaker 11: It'ssolutely and.
Speaker 3: Tried.
Speaker 2: You just don'tant to be involved with the dumpster fire
Speaker 2: that is the comment section on a stuff website, because
Speaker 2: that's not good.
Speaker 11: You've got to realize, Marcus, that a dumpster fire has
Speaker 11: its own effect. So it's one thing to comment to
Speaker 11: your MP who is disenfranchised and quite frankly lackadaisical. So yeah,
Speaker 11: you kind of have to hear the dumpster fire.
Speaker 2: But they're just they're just they're just extreme people with
Speaker 2: nothing better to do with extreme. Why don't you is
Speaker 2: your MP lexadaisical? H who's your MP?
Speaker 3: Pington pattern?
Speaker 11: I've got a few MP's in Wellington?
Speaker 2: Are you delivered a couple of places?
Speaker 17: To be fair?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, so you don't you don't live, you don't, you
Speaker 2: don't that you don't.
Speaker 11: It's not about it's not about one particular MP. It's
Speaker 11: about all the MPs. Is it fair to say that
Speaker 11: to say one m P is Lea Adasacal is unfair
Speaker 11: to say all of them are, because that's how the parliament.
Speaker 11: Parliament's working, isn't it. All of those people are like
Speaker 11: but I'm not doing with things.
Speaker 2: You're just a stir.
Speaker 11: I'm not a stir.
Speaker 19: You are.
Speaker 2: No. No, you've you've waken up someone, right, and you
Speaker 2: won't even really you won't even bother to find who
Speaker 2: your own MP is.
Speaker 11: No, my own issue. It all started. I just wanted
Speaker 11: to comment on YouTube, and my point it goes back
Speaker 11: to it. My point is do you know who?
Speaker 2: Do you know who your MP is?
Speaker 11: Which MP? Does it matter?
Speaker 2: The That's how the size.
Speaker 11: Of our country Marcus, it really doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: But you want to comment on some YouTube's chet stream.
Speaker 11: No, I want to comment on the budget, Marcus, not
Speaker 11: the ship stream. No, I see some posted by staff
Speaker 11: on YouTube. That was my point.
Speaker 2: You need a hobby.
Speaker 11: No, I just need to comment on YouTube.
Speaker 2: You can't because comments because comments are closed.
Speaker 11: But stuff you know how YouTube works, right?
Speaker 2: Stuff are stuff? Aren't you know? Stuff don't belong to
Speaker 2: the government. Stuff are just an independent organization. They can
Speaker 2: do what they like with their comments sections if they
Speaker 2: close them downtown.
Speaker 11: Look on YouTube and look at New Zealand budget twenty
Speaker 11: twenty five in telling how many hits you get? Why,
Speaker 11: because that's the point, there's only one.
Speaker 2: So you're happy with the budget.
Speaker 11: Well i'd like to comment on it.
Speaker 2: We'll ring your MP and I.
Speaker 11: Can't on YouTube. That's my point. I can't can't comment
Speaker 11: on YouTube through a portal which is stuff the information
Speaker 11: which was provided to by the government and there's only
Speaker 11: one means.
Speaker 2: So what did your so what did you're in parliament?
Speaker 17: Well?
Speaker 11: I wanted to ask someone why in to success?
Speaker 2: But there's nothing to do with stuff.
Speaker 11: That's what parliament does, isn't it that that's our elected
Speaker 11: representatives that we put you there.
Speaker 2: But you don't want to. You don't want to. You
Speaker 2: don't want to talk to elected represent if you don't
Speaker 2: even know who elected represented.
Speaker 11: Is doesn't matter. Yeah, it is so long as they can.
Speaker 2: Do you do because your because your rank parliament to
Speaker 2: wake someone up, but you won't even contact your local MP.
Speaker 2: You can email.
Speaker 11: By point wise the intimation that I want appear that
Speaker 11: is coming through a suiting to portal that I would
Speaker 11: like to comment on, which most can.
Speaker 2: We can't on the budget, but let's not do it's
Speaker 2: let's not do a democracy. There'll be alsort of other avenues.
Speaker 2: Have you been to the stuff website? Have you been
Speaker 2: to the website? Have you been to the website?
Speaker 11: Have you tried looking at the twenty twenty five New
Speaker 11: Zealand budget on YouTube?
Speaker 2: But there's other but you look at it. Most things
Speaker 2: are happening, I do.
Speaker 11: Most things are all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 2: Most things aren't happening on YouTube. If you want to
Speaker 2: get to a comment, to get on the Facebook, there'll
Speaker 2: be some stuff probably posting articles that you can comment on.
Speaker 11: Why but why can't I comment on something that I
Speaker 11: think is prevalent to the place that I live in,
Speaker 11: which is in New Zealand, and it's the budget.
Speaker 2: You can ring your MP, which I did. No, you
Speaker 2: didn't bring your MP because you don't know who your MP is,
Speaker 2: because you said you live in a number of electorates.
Speaker 11: No, co I call the government and I succeeded.
Speaker 2: I would like to say, well with Ethan, I think
Speaker 2: ethan's the government. I think Ethan. Some of that's.
Speaker 11: Ethan was awesome. Ethan was awesome. It was the lady
Speaker 11: who didn't.
Speaker 2: Hang up on you?
Speaker 11: No, well no he did eventually he was very accommodation.
Speaker 2: Underneathan myself. Dan's been on YouTube and there are a
Speaker 2: lot of videos of the budget on YouTube. The stuff
Speaker 2: ones you can't comment on, but the Southern says v
Speaker 2: I tech stuff don't allow comments on anything they post
Speaker 2: anywhere on social media Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, the sky's a
Speaker 2: problem with them. They'd ring stuff. But the interesting thing
Speaker 2: about that guy had a problem with the problem. We
Speaker 2: never found out what was problem with the budget was.
Speaker 2: And they walk amongst us but jeepers. I think they
Speaker 2: just enjoy having a problem. I don't know who you
Speaker 2: can ring and wake up though, that's pretty interesting. Whoever?
Speaker 2: Landline Marcus National defunding RNZ is the same thing that
Speaker 2: Trump is doing to the Associated Press of the States.
Speaker 2: Cedric thank' edric carbon monoxide alarms are a thing too,
Speaker 2: or keep it simple. Marcus and twenty twenty Stuff see
Speaker 2: still actively on Facebook and Instagram, including suspending their Facebook
Speaker 2: pages Instagram accounts. This decision was part of an experiment
Speaker 2: to assess the impact of their website traffic and public trust.
Speaker 2: The movefoard of previous decisis stop paid every time on Facebook.
Speaker 2: After the christ Church Musk shootings. Thank you. Wow that
Speaker 2: guy though, gee, I stidn't know what's problem with the
Speaker 2: budget was they loved YouTube, didn't he I like this text.
Speaker 2: This is the text of the night, Marcus. The big
Speaker 2: already is that guy who disliked the budget had a
Speaker 2: huge potential audience on heir to hear his opinion, but
Speaker 2: it explicably didn't give it.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 2: Marcus has got a foresting whish in the car and
Speaker 2: the motor home. Years ago, had the opportiony to use
Speaker 2: a car one when the engine caught fire, pulled over
Speaker 2: the side of the road whilst others drove by watching.
Speaker 2: Kind of good fun, but it wasn't. I read the
Speaker 2: Fire Service are actively encouraging scrapmetal places who have major
Speaker 2: fires on site caused by lithium batteries to have two
Speaker 2: excess points. One is an emergency entrance into the yards
Speaker 2: and a management plan for storing lithium batteries which are
Speaker 2: growing into a bigger problem of how disposed of them,
Speaker 2: just like tires, Marcus, I understand a heat sensor alarm
Speaker 2: is triggered. I heat, not smoke. They are really available
Speaker 2: from the likes of min to ten and Bunnings. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but the far would be well involved when there'd be heat,
Speaker 2: wouldn't they.
Speaker 14: All?
Speaker 2: Will the smoke have heat and set them off. I
Speaker 2: kind of want to be warned as early as possible.
Speaker 2: That's just my take. Our Key we savor. I found
Speaker 2: quite interesting how many years has Key we Save have
Speaker 2: been going. I got a very good text from someone
Speaker 2: I read about the compulsory savings in Australia, which they
Speaker 2: really need because I'm so much more money for infrastructure.
Speaker 2: I think it's gone from eight percent to twelve percent.
Speaker 2: We're not even close, so yeah, we're only just starting
Speaker 2: with our Key we Save. It needs to be a
Speaker 2: lot more so. The whole labor government scheme that Muldoon
Speaker 2: put the kibosh on that would have made us had
Speaker 2: billions and billions of dollars by now right, Nope, there
Speaker 2: was some weird reason to get rid of that and
Speaker 2: they still haven't learned. But oh well, lest they've done
Speaker 2: the good thing of raising up to four percent over
Speaker 2: two years. I think that it needs to be a
Speaker 2: lot higher than that I would have mentioned. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's the cost of living crisis as well, so people
Speaker 2: PEPs having got that extra one percent of savings Marcus,
Speaker 2: that bloke who had issues with the budget. Sounded like
Speaker 2: a skit out of Faulty Towers. Also Curry Cheese, Cheos,
Speaker 2: Devil Burgers, and Queenstown. A local favorite might be Cheero's.
Speaker 2: Is it good evening? Esh, it's Marcus welcome you know Marke?
Speaker 19: How are you mate?
Speaker 20: Good?
Speaker 2: Ash all good, all good good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 19: I recall all doing canceled the Supers game because he
Speaker 19: thought it was a New Zealand has owned all of
Speaker 19: New Zealand. There would be like communism, yeah, you know
Speaker 19: the dancing class XI that was molding Was it.
Speaker 2: But a fear and misinformation to win an election? I've
Speaker 2: heard that before.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, my mates growing up muddy. But as old
Speaker 19: Man was in charge of the dec he used to
Speaker 19: go visit Mouldering, you know, for obvious reasons in the
Speaker 19: head and he said, you go seem at ten in
Speaker 19: the morning and he's already slothed on Vodga.
Speaker 2: Couldn't believe it was that his drink, Yeah, Vodgar apparently,
Speaker 2: yet he thought that he was down on the dancing
Speaker 2: down on the Soviet Okay he drinks okay, fair enough, okay.
Speaker 19: Iron okay, Yeah, I can't quite.
Speaker 2: Work out what the irony is. But yeah, that he's
Speaker 2: drinking a Russian drink and he's got the Russian fear.
Speaker 2: But oh well, yeah he was.
Speaker 19: He was a peculiar guy. Molder he said he was.
Speaker 2: But there was a likability. There was a likability about
Speaker 2: him that I don't think the present guy's got. There
Speaker 2: was a sort of a yeah anyway, yeah he's.
Speaker 19: Got a Trump like what that nearly Trump's gone? Like
Speaker 19: just every man's man.
Speaker 2: You know what else? Was the other thing you wanted
Speaker 2: to mention?
Speaker 19: Esh? I mean fast, too much time on my hands.
Speaker 19: I've been recovering from a hospital stay with deep vein
Speaker 19: throun poses from the lower left leg and six pmentor
Speaker 19: eblisms in the right run. I'm coming right now, finally
Speaker 19: getting treated for it.
Speaker 2: But for years, that's what we want to hear.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 19: Yeah, it resolved from an overseas trip to row Tima
Speaker 19: a night tacky. But the other thing is what.
Speaker 2: Happened, what happened to Turkey that caused that.
Speaker 19: It's the amount of hours, and we worked out I
Speaker 19: spent twelve hours at altitude going there and back, and
Speaker 19: they said seven or eight would be enough.
Speaker 3: To do it.
Speaker 2: So you had a pre existing condition. Okay, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 19: It's just a good thing in a way because I'm
Speaker 19: finally getting treated for it, so starting I'm on the end.
Speaker 2: It's a great thing.
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really you know, like I'll be
Speaker 19: on the couch just to be wanting me to know
Speaker 19: the lawns, and I'd be like, oh, I go know
Speaker 19: the lines, and then I just had to just be
Speaker 19: absolutely naked.
Speaker 2: What videos you been watching, mh.
Speaker 19: I've been watching UFO stuff. A guy, a guy called
Speaker 19: Major George Filer on the Professor Fire.
Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: George Filer, Yeah, of course he is.
Speaker 19: He worked on the He was a super tanker fire
Speaker 19: for the nuclear nuclear aircraft. He used to be the
Speaker 19: tanker guy, so he had nuclear clearance and all that
Speaker 19: sort of stuff, but he needed a higher clearance to
Speaker 19: work on the UFO desk. That was cosmic. I think
Speaker 19: they got a cosmic clearance. And he said, what was
Speaker 19: surprised a lot of people is how many civilians were
Speaker 19: involved in it, and they were actually higher ranking than
Speaker 19: the generals, Like third star generals would allowed access to
Speaker 19: the info. He had to be a four star general.
Speaker 19: So and if you had a civilian on the desk
Speaker 19: working on it, that's three. Stay General, come along, says,
Speaker 19: I want to hope about this. What's going on? He said, sorry,
Speaker 19: I need to know, can't tell them.
Speaker 2: And what was the upshot from him about the UFOs.
Speaker 19: They've got a few and he reckons, he said, personal
Speaker 19: contact with I think it was Nordics and the platt
Speaker 19: Eas or something. And these blue beings which are about
Speaker 19: sort of seven to nine ft tall. But he said,
Speaker 19: the the the Nords, they called them intruders because they
Speaker 19: could come into the Child to come to Earth and
Speaker 19: they walk around and you wouldn't even know that they
Speaker 19: weren't human, you know, and that really bothered the generals
Speaker 19: because they, as they said, they could bowl into shape
Speaker 19: headquarters and nobody being whither. The only the only thing,
Speaker 19: he said, this sort of bit of a way for them,
Speaker 19: was they were slightly too good looking, if that makes sense.
Speaker 19: The fit tall, I know that's the blue blue beings
Speaker 19: from some the same area. Yeah, but then auduts, he said,
Speaker 19: are just well, just like humans, but just very good
Speaker 19: looking humans.
Speaker 2: Where do people find this?
Speaker 19: If you go to the backyard, professor, he's spacing the States.
Speaker 19: He's really got. He's a mathematician and so he's levelheaded
Speaker 19: kind of guy. And he said, even even he's been
Speaker 19: struck with all the woo woo sort of stuff around it,
Speaker 19: and he said, I just I can't get mad around it.
Speaker 19: And he said, but these are guys that are veterans
Speaker 19: and a sort of getting near the end of their lives,
Speaker 19: so they've got nothing to lose, and they're saying, well,
Speaker 19: this is what went down. He wouldn't have a clue.
Speaker 2: And there is this on YouTube.
Speaker 19: Yeah, on YouTube, yeah, a lot of them.
Speaker 2: Is there a comment section? Could you make comments?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, you can all of them.
Speaker 2: That might be good for Scott too, because he gets
Speaker 2: triggered if he can't make comments. What's it called the
Speaker 2: backyard professor? Okay, Ash, good on you. We'll leave it there.
Speaker 2: Brilliant by the way. The Rugby League has just finished
Speaker 2: with the most surprising result of the round. Well though
Speaker 2: it's the first match of the round, but the Bulldogs,
Speaker 2: who are top of the ladder, have been beaten by
Speaker 2: the Dolphins forty four to eight. Forty four to eight.
Speaker 2: That's been a shellacking. Admittedly, their best players are away
Speaker 2: for State of origin Stephen Crichton and a couple of
Speaker 2: the others had a couple have come from behind wins
Speaker 2: the last two matches, led by Crichton. But that's a
Speaker 2: threshing anyway, that's happened forty four to eight. And the
Speaker 2: weather is appalling in Sydney, although one of the commentators
Speaker 2: said there'll be no can sport this weekend and the
Speaker 2: other commentator I said, that's right, three drops of rain
Speaker 2: and that's canceled, which was weird. It was one of
Speaker 2: the great downpolls of all time. So anyway, get in touch.
Speaker 2: My name is Marcus. Welcome, how you're going people eight
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine text, feel free
Speaker 2: to get involved if you want to talk about anything
Speaker 2: on fire as thing Wish were also talking about tonight,
Speaker 2: John Good evening, Welcome.
Speaker 8: Yes, so I can quick call a John R. So
Speaker 8: I have rang you before. Thank you six languages. I
Speaker 8: actually have three five s. I keep on the car
Speaker 8: because I have come across cars on fire and that's
Speaker 8: a very useful spell to help someone immediately. And secondly
Speaker 8: I have one on the bedroom un right on the kitchen,
Speaker 8: and I also have to call a fire banker. I
Speaker 8: don't know what you have heard of that we have
Speaker 8: it to hang hanging up in the pantry and it's
Speaker 8: a great extreme if so you get have filed the
Speaker 8: story of just you down and extinguished the flame.
Speaker 11: Of fire.
Speaker 8: So I think in the homeless squad. But of course
Speaker 8: prevention is the key thing. Some one one thing puses
Speaker 8: the is the the batteries, the small batteries that we have.
Speaker 8: I heard the other day that you can dispose of
Speaker 8: a Bunnings freely, so it's useful for people.
Speaker 2: Well, could you dispose of the blankets or.
Speaker 8: You know there were small round batteries. Yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 8: could be damaged. We have our stores outside of the
Speaker 8: little container. We don't have the neck head in the
Speaker 8: house in case they catch fire.
Speaker 2: What's stored outside?
Speaker 8: The small batteries we have you know the little little
Speaker 8: round batteries.
Speaker 2: Don't have to be stored outside.
Speaker 8: Now well, well, I think if they catch fire, there
Speaker 8: was much leisure if they kept outside. Some of the
Speaker 8: other they said that they wrap them up. What I do,
Speaker 8: I wrapped in paper so that don't have direct contact
Speaker 8: with each other and just sort outside until I can
Speaker 8: take them to Budings.
Speaker 2: They're the old batteries though, well, they wouldn't have much
Speaker 2: go on them, would they, Well.
Speaker 8: No, but frequently they should be having fires and rubbish trucks.
Speaker 8: Now are they presumably old batteries if they throw that,
Speaker 8: they would new batteries, would they?
Speaker 2: How long do you foresting? Which is last before you've
Speaker 2: got to get the rejected?
Speaker 8: I believe you should do it once a year. You
Speaker 8: can't waive them if I started losing the eight that
Speaker 8: recharging so once a year probably to be on the
Speaker 8: south side.
Speaker 2: You mean your your forestings need recharging once a year?
Speaker 6: Well, right?
Speaker 8: Thereat checking takes the viire Social or a company that
Speaker 8: the checks them. They'll check them for you. But as
Speaker 8: I need refilling that they'll fix them for you once
Speaker 8: a once a year. I would say, what I believe it's.
Speaker 2: A lot of fairfor around how much How much is
Speaker 2: the cost of that?
Speaker 8: I have haven't had it done and don't know for
Speaker 8: sure sure, but uh a lot cheaper than a new one.
Speaker 8: But the fire the fire I found the goes of
Speaker 8: fire station very useful for a lot of these things.
Speaker 8: And they have got advice about you know, how they
Speaker 8: have to do things. So they would say you know,
Speaker 8: but I can't close it off hands.
Speaker 2: How many smoke alarms have you got?
Speaker 8: I've got eight, one in every room, every room because
Speaker 8: we've got a very large house. But so yes, it's
Speaker 8: every room. Is sort of a hassle, but that's essential.
Speaker 8: Of course needs to be checked frequently.
Speaker 2: But do you go around and test all eight of them?
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, yes, usually with the with the with the
Speaker 8: we change the times they say there was that the
Speaker 8: six month feet check. The need to go around. It's
Speaker 8: not that difficult. I have run that I can bring
Speaker 8: them down on does have the tribe of the ladder
Speaker 8: like we sometimes on the ceiling hard to get out,
Speaker 8: but I have I tied to a pole. I could
Speaker 8: beat the pole down and checked where they put the
Speaker 8: pole up there the ceiling it came. So that's that's
Speaker 8: the way. As key thing about fire prevention is what
Speaker 8: people's frequently are reward about, not overloading what's heaters on
Speaker 8: gospball power points and keeping fire away from ses. That's
Speaker 8: what they never leave it, never leave any big body
Speaker 8: coming on the stove without philosophic had to go out
Speaker 8: or it's the fun door because there's a frequent cause.
Speaker 2: What have you rung before about John. You've quite got
Speaker 2: a lot of information.
Speaker 8: I wrote. I wrote about the cadenced walk about two
Speaker 8: or three years ago when I was traveling in Africa.
Speaker 8: It was a subject of the diet and I so
Speaker 8: much enjoyed that when I was about eight years old.
Speaker 8: That's something I can't what they was brilliant.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're on about condensed book, you're always welcome
Speaker 2: for me. Thank you so much. Almost time for me
Speaker 2: to go people. I'm trying to read again about the
Speaker 2: curry divide in the UK. Half the country has tomato
Speaker 2: sauce on chips, the other has curry sauce, which is
Speaker 2: a new thing to me. It's a clear divide between
Speaker 2: the South and North on sauce. So there we go.
Speaker 2: I thought there was interesting. Some of you expet will
Speaker 2: find that of interest. Exclusive data reveals that every region
Speaker 2: survey identified a clear relative majority preference with a kitchup
Speaker 2: or curry sauce. Across the North, between thirty nine and
Speaker 2: forty six percent of codscoff has said they have their
Speaker 2: dinner with curry sauce. Well, in the South between nine
Speaker 2: say they have kitchup, which I find slightly confusing, but
Speaker 2: the ego Northern is like scraps, the crunchy left over
Speaker 2: better on the side. Well, I don't think scraps are
Speaker 2: good for you, wouldn't we having the scraps it was
Speaker 2: terrible and the fish and chip shops would just sell
Speaker 2: you all that bits of the fried, bits of just
Speaker 2: better or oh well, what were heard to night about
Speaker 2: for a while of potato fritters. Really, it's one of
Speaker 2: the great things of all time, isn't it. I guess
Speaker 2: there's still a thing, are they when you say that
Speaker 2: two minutes before the end of the show. Gosh, you
Speaker 2: could have got thro a whole night of people talking
Speaker 2: about that.
