Speaker 1: You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks.
Speaker 2: That'd be.
Speaker 3: Greetings, welcome, Hit'll twelve. It's from a job, a couple
Speaker 3: of things. Will keep an eye on the chimney and
Speaker 3: the Vatican. And if anyone's got a website that they
Speaker 3: can go to to watch the chimney, will do that.
Speaker 3: Because the smoke goes a different color. There's a new pope.
Speaker 3: Will any pope will be the new pope. There's either
Speaker 3: no pope or a new pope. So yes, that's right.
Speaker 3: We're definitely getting a new pope. It's just iff and
Speaker 3: when we eye them, they it's not my faith. But
Speaker 3: still I'm kind of curious. So the pope, all about
Speaker 3: the Pope. That will happen. It might happen. It'll be
Speaker 3: the morning there anyway, that's happening the Pope. A couple
Speaker 3: other things I want to touch base with tonight on
Speaker 3: the show. I've always got that I should write things down.
Speaker 3: I want to talk what's with what's with mini bikes? Now?
Speaker 3: I know that there are people on trail bikes terrorizing neighborhoods,
Speaker 3: but what's with minibikes? I saw some story about christ judges.
Speaker 3: Has that become a have mini bikes become a new thing?
Speaker 3: I know from time to time they become something that
Speaker 3: people ride. What is the point of those? Are they
Speaker 3: fun to ride because you low to the ground? Is
Speaker 3: that what it's about?
Speaker 4: Pretty?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna explain that to me. I meant to what
Speaker 3: I've meant been many to us is for years and
Speaker 3: months and weeks. What's with manibike? Is that what they've got?
Speaker 3: They got mini bikes? I saw an article and christ
Speaker 3: Judents appeal have been terrorized by them? Are the mini bikes?
Speaker 3: But what's with them? There's about the supermarket kind of
Speaker 3: riving around on one, and I thought, what's that about
Speaker 3: mini bikes? Anyway? Might have got that one wrong because
Speaker 3: I see scooters they're also, but I think the mini
Speaker 3: bikes are back. But yeah, I kind of never quite
Speaker 3: worked out the attraction. You might have something to say
Speaker 3: about that. But the other more important question, and I
Speaker 3: want to fight you for this. Here's a question for
Speaker 3: you people, and think about this for twenty seconds before
Speaker 3: you ring. Don't ring straight away because I don't know
Speaker 3: the answer, but I'm asking you the answer. And I
Speaker 3: haven't got strong thoughts about this. But the question is
Speaker 3: what do you think would be the most dangerous household appliance?
Speaker 3: And the reasoning? I can't think what it would be.
Speaker 3: Is it the iron? Is it the vacuum cleaner? What
Speaker 3: do you think the most dangerous household appliance would be?
Speaker 3: And your reason? Why was I thinking of that today?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was thinking about that something that's dangerous. Spend a
Speaker 3: lot of day up a ladder. Actually I don't love
Speaker 3: a ladder. I spend a lot of time up a
Speaker 3: ladder with my laces undone, the whole time feeling or thinking, Gee,
Speaker 3: I tell you what if I come undone because my
Speaker 3: laces are undone and that causes me to all off
Speaker 3: my ladder, I'll be beating myself up out not doing
Speaker 3: those laces. You think I didn't have my laces? No,
Speaker 3: so comfortable without them. But what would be the most
Speaker 3: dangerous appliance within the house? And why do you think
Speaker 3: that would be? Yeah, I'm not I'm not sponsored by ACC.
Speaker 3: I'm just curious how you're injuring yourself around the home.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's the ovent try and burning yourself. Is
Speaker 3: that there is the eye, And I presume most of
Speaker 3: the injuries are burns, But what would be them? And
Speaker 3: I've said it again, I say that you can call
Speaker 3: now the most dangerous household appliance? What do you reckon
Speaker 3: it is? I'd be very very curious, and your reason,
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure what your reason's going to be,
Speaker 3: but I'm damn curious about that because I reckon the
Speaker 3: results can be quite surprising. And yeah, the most dangerous
Speaker 3: of all the household appliances? Would it be the clothes
Speaker 3: dryer or the microwave oven? What's the one item that
Speaker 3: you've injured yourself on most within the house the appliance?
Speaker 3: Probably the electric breadknife?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 3: Very curious about this? And yeah, get in touch of
Speaker 3: you've got some sort of an answer for that. I've gotten.
Speaker 3: I'm not in favor of anything. I just want the debate.
Speaker 3: By the way, so are those questions you a dinner parties?
Speaker 3: Some said, well, actually, so cute, because I'm trying to
Speaker 3: think what people injure themselves on. By the way, your
Speaker 3: wife's not a kitchen appliance. I'll tell you what some
Speaker 3: of those those things that you put stuff in and
Speaker 3: put into the oven a quite a strong way. Doren't
Speaker 3: they anyway. Edman's Marcus, Greetings and welcome.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Marcus, the most dangerous appliance I reckon is the toaster,
Speaker 6: because not only can you electrocute yourself with it by
Speaker 6: sticking your hand in there, you can also burn yourself
Speaker 6: at the same time.
Speaker 3: Does anyone have you actually stuck your knife in it?
Speaker 7: As an electrician?
Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't recommend you do that.
Speaker 3: Okay, but does it actually give you a shock?
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's an.
Speaker 6: Element in there which has two thirty volts traveling through it.
Speaker 3: Well, I always had faith that the circuit board would
Speaker 3: short circuit it. You wouldn't get electrocuted. Okay, but you're
Speaker 3: but I'm wrong, am I?
Speaker 7: Unfortunately?
Speaker 6: Yeah, now you'll get an electric shock.
Speaker 3: Don't do it, Okay, I won't and I won't bathe
Speaker 3: with either. Thank you. Adam Ricketts, Marcus, welcome, Hey mate,
Speaker 3: how are you good? Good? Good?
Speaker 2: Good? Now.
Speaker 9: I've got to say I've had a couple of mates
Speaker 9: and people I know, But the in syncarator, the weight.
Speaker 3: Master really really yep.
Speaker 9: So if you think about you know where the where
Speaker 9: the plugs are and where the where the fingers go
Speaker 9: and the thing. So yep, that's that's my call on it.
Speaker 9: I've been thinking it. I've never heard of anyone actually
Speaker 9: hurting themselves on a toaster or microwave. What happens as well?
Speaker 3: What have they done with the insyncorator?
Speaker 9: Just push some food down there while it was still spinning.
Speaker 9: One guy recently and another one a long time ago
Speaker 9: had a knife down there and it flung out and
Speaker 9: hit them cut them.
Speaker 3: But yeah, did the other guy do his fingers?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 9: Fingers came to work in a big slung slung up hands,
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Because I had a house with one of those
Speaker 3: things once, and I was compelled by it. I was
Speaker 3: putting all sorts of things down, and I was putting
Speaker 3: them down in quite a heavilyer way. I was poking
Speaker 3: it down with knives, and I was honestly, we had
Speaker 3: to move away away from there, because, yeah, I can
Speaker 3: imagine a knife swinging out of there.
Speaker 9: Also, Yep, yep, that's yep. And they say, I don't know.
Speaker 9: They say putting eggshells down there is good because it
Speaker 9: keeps them sharp or something or other, But a coffee
Speaker 9: grinds is a big no no. And there's nothing worse
Speaker 9: than cleaning out coffee grinds from a bloomen French press
Speaker 9: or something like that is nothing worse than cleaning them
Speaker 9: out into the dim brilliant not off.
Speaker 3: Look, here we go, guys, eight forteen and someone's mentioned
Speaker 3: the French press. Love it when someone mentions the French
Speaker 3: press brilliant? One of those things that sounds quite different
Speaker 3: from what it is. Flipp and love the French press.
Speaker 3: I reckon that would actually?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 3: Rick? Was that Rick I was talking to?
Speaker 2: Yep? Rick?
Speaker 3: Would the French press be one of the most dangerous
Speaker 3: items in the home?
Speaker 9: No, no, no, I'm just saying that.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 3: Have you put yourself on a French press that's like
Speaker 3: a coffee plunger we call them, right, Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: because sometimes some of those ones are designed with a
Speaker 3: jet of hot water that goes up your arm?
Speaker 9: Oh yep, nice?
Speaker 10: Nice?
Speaker 3: Have you ever done that? No?
Speaker 9: No, I'm not a big coffee drinker, so that's why
Speaker 9: it's even fact. I don't drink coffee. So it's even
Speaker 9: worse cleaning out a coffee machine or something like that
Speaker 9: because I don't even bloody drink the stuff.
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, you know, I don't even know what
Speaker 3: a French press is, but I think we used to
Speaker 3: call them a bowdom or a coffee plunger. I worked
Speaker 3: in a cafe once when they just discovered plunger coffee. Gosh,
Speaker 3: it was the height of sophistication. You'd put it on
Speaker 3: the table, the plunge of coffee, and you came about
Speaker 3: three months. They need stir it and plunge it. But
Speaker 3: they are dangerous things. Remember Richard Kamuski BFM put a
Speaker 3: hot stream of coffee up his arm. Yeah, an interesting
Speaker 3: unit that one. Get in touch here till twelve Andy Marcus.
Speaker 11: Welcome, Hello Marcus, good evening.
Speaker 3: And you said no nonsense I love, which I like.
Speaker 11: Oh, well, thank you very much, sir. Surely it's got
Speaker 11: to be the home heater. It's burned down hundreds of homes.
Speaker 11: I can't believe that guy was mentioning bread knives.
Speaker 3: That was me. What do you think the most dangerous
Speaker 3: thing would be?
Speaker 11: Oh, it's got to be home heating. Surely it's burned
Speaker 11: down hundreds of homes.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I guess it's whether we say the most dangerous thing
Speaker 3: in the home or the most dangerous appliance. And there's
Speaker 3: a heater and appliance it probably is it?
Speaker 11: Well, I believe they're often guess or electric sustics would
Speaker 11: be the burnt down a lot of homes and done
Speaker 11: a lot of damage.
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's on the list. Okay, I'm talking about
Speaker 3: things that send people to the emergency room. I think
Speaker 3: that's probably what I need to clarify, because if your
Speaker 3: house is burnt down, youre well. This is over a
Speaker 3: ten year study and the people to get into the
Speaker 3: most in the house are children four and younger or
Speaker 3: people in their fifties. That's me, And you'd be curious
Speaker 3: though what the result is. I don't want to tell
Speaker 3: you about that yet. Quentin Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 12: Hey, welcome, Marks.
Speaker 11: How are you real good?
Speaker 3: Thank you? How's yourself good?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 12: I reckon the most dangerous appliants is the electric blanket.
Speaker 12: Number one factor is you're asleep when it's happening. But
Speaker 12: then also just they do tend to get freight wires
Speaker 12: and bent wires and they short circuit and can start fires.
Speaker 12: So I think the electric linket is the number one
Speaker 12: dangerous appliants, but then also probably I'm not sure it's
Speaker 12: an appliance, but the number two would be the electric
Speaker 12: gas bottle heater that discharges carbon monoxide into the closed
Speaker 12: spaces is probably the next dangerous appliants in the home.
Speaker 12: So yeah, those are probably my top two.
Speaker 3: You definitely say that. I'm just trying to think is
Speaker 3: it atric blanket an appliance, because if it wasn't electric cliants,
Speaker 3: what else would you call it?
Speaker 12: It's hard to give it if it's.
Speaker 3: If it's not an it must be an applied That's
Speaker 3: another very good sub question, isn't it? Quentin? Thank you
Speaker 3: for that. Would electric blanket be an appliances? A lot
Speaker 3: of questions, questions, questions, generating questions. Fraser Marcus welcome.
Speaker 13: Only only on Tuesdays.
Speaker 10: Only.
Speaker 13: On Tuesday this week we get the sparks in our house,
Speaker 13: so I wouldn't go and we had to go on
Speaker 13: through a multi box. The multi box was faulty and
Speaker 13: it melted the plug of the dryer into the multi box.
Speaker 3: Flip flip, Wow, yeah, wow, you're going to You're you're
Speaker 3: a very calm person to talk to Fraser.
Speaker 13: That there's a real warning markus to people out there
Speaker 13: who have got a multi box in their laundry in
Speaker 13: this case was in our garage. Then where our laundry
Speaker 13: is all right, and if we could have we could
Speaker 13: have lost our double story house because it's obviously the
Speaker 13: garage is on the bottom floor to a simple plug.
Speaker 3: So a multi box is like what do you I
Speaker 3: never called it a multi It's like a multiple plug thing, right, yep.
Speaker 13: That's so you can get them in three, four or five.
Speaker 13: In this case, it was a three because all we had.
Speaker 13: All we had on it was the dry and then
Speaker 13: when we were obviously when we're vacuum the car out
Speaker 13: and that sort of thing, we plug into that. So
Speaker 13: we had them with cent of four. But the spark,
Speaker 13: he said, Case said to me on too, they said,
Speaker 13: the big problem you have right, the multi box is
Speaker 13: not a it's not suitable for it. It's going to
Speaker 13: go straight into the walls, straight into the wall socket.
Speaker 3: Just a dryer. Yeah, because of how much it draws. Yeah,
Speaker 3: wow phrases. Should you be on the phone?
Speaker 8: Yeah, on the phone.
Speaker 3: But this this is a lot going on in the back.
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're like running a new power station
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 8: I'm running.
Speaker 13: I'm just I'm just doing a trip into Hamilton and.
Speaker 3: Back with the track brilliant. What's that noise? What's the
Speaker 3: what's that's my.
Speaker 13: That's my supervisor trying to call me on the hearty
Speaker 13: and I'm talking to you.
Speaker 3: The noisiest call of every head, noisiest call of everhead.
Speaker 3: What about that with a dryer? Shouldn't go into I
Speaker 3: don't even know they're called a multi box. I didn't
Speaker 3: know dry I should go in to one of those.
Speaker 3: Kyle Marcus Welcome.
Speaker 7: Cured, Marcus, Cure, Kyle, I think the most dangerous appliants
Speaker 7: in the house is the television.
Speaker 3: Wow, because of the misinformation.
Speaker 14: You got it.
Speaker 3: It's a good point.
Speaker 1: What Fox News, Uh, Fox News is they tell some
Speaker 1: porky's That's for sure.
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought of that, Kyle, Thank you. He might
Speaker 3: be right Fox News. I think they've tuned on Trump,
Speaker 3: have they Fox?
Speaker 15: Well?
Speaker 3: I think he employed most of them. Loves his TV
Speaker 3: ol Trump, Honey, what is said much today? Is he
Speaker 3: off golfing? Said nothing today? Trump? I think it was
Speaker 3: kind of playing get coverage with the reopening Alcatraz because
Speaker 3: of the sharks. He's obsessed with the shark. Now nothing Wow,
Speaker 3: But we're having a serious day to day Berry Marcus welcome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, evening, Marcus. In my house. The smoke alarm, the
Speaker 8: most bloody dangerous finger.
Speaker 3: I hate them.
Speaker 8: I'm cooking breakfast. Next minute smoke alarm goes off, I
Speaker 8: have to jump on the chair.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm hearing you turn it off.
Speaker 8: If I survived that, I didn't get back to the
Speaker 8: kitchen and there is a fire.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I got the kids to make long sticks.
Speaker 3: We can poke the smoke alarm with every time we
Speaker 3: put special bread in the taste door, every time a
Speaker 3: log falls out of the multi burner.
Speaker 8: Well, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2: I'll do that. I'm going to do that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because the bloody the chair is quite high off
Speaker 8: the ground. I'm not young anymore.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I wonder how many people have
Speaker 3: died and stalling those damn things because it's not easy.
Speaker 8: No, well yeah, well that's what I'm saying. We're the
Speaker 8: same thing as you've got to turn them off. By
Speaker 8: the time you turn them off, you get back to
Speaker 8: your kitchen. You know the good friar.
Speaker 17: And it is on fire.
Speaker 3: Brilliant, very liking where you're coming from. Brilliant twenty six
Speaker 3: past day. Keep your calls coming through, Steve Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 17: Oh okay, mate, how you doing good, Steve. I actually
Speaker 17: got a lectri curded by in an electric blanket when
Speaker 17: I was about eighteen months old. Oh you nineteen sixty something. Wow,
Speaker 17: and my safe stupend come out of my nephew apparently
Speaker 17: obviously don't remember this, and whence is it? Don't laugh,
Speaker 17: it's not that funny. Wow has approved the point.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's heartbreaking. That would just been your poor parents.
Speaker 17: The old man was a scener Navy and then my
Speaker 17: mother did know what's going on and my granddad. Ye,
Speaker 17: apparently I walked around you and pop up I sore
Speaker 17: hand and I had I've got a scar on my
Speaker 17: left hand which is the exit point and an entry
Speaker 17: point on my gut.
Speaker 3: Wow. After all you had what I.
Speaker 17: Had a what they call a whit wolves procedure about
Speaker 17: four years ago, three years ago for cancer. And the
Speaker 17: one thing I told the surgeon you cannot cut my scar.
Speaker 17: My gut is like a major surgere like matter, Are.
Speaker 3: You all right now?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 17: Who knows me?
Speaker 3: Nice to hear from you, Steve, Thanks so much. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what would be the most dangerous appliance in the house.
Speaker 3: I've got no real reason why I've come up with
Speaker 3: this or something to discap but I am kind of
Speaker 3: curious to know what it is. I haven't injured myself, Yeah, no, yeah,
Speaker 3: it defends. It depends on your definition of appliance. Probably
Speaker 3: the worst injury I vigured myself on is one of
Speaker 3: those folding clothing racks, and I because it's got a
Speaker 3: ring that slips down on the unfolded the ring holds
Speaker 3: all on place, and I folded it against the flow
Speaker 3: in a state of agitation, and it kind of broke
Speaker 3: and came up the back of my leg quite a
Speaker 3: nasty cut. So that would be the worst thing I've
Speaker 3: done to myself within the house. I'm an next and
Speaker 3: prone person, but yeah, that for me. That What do
Speaker 3: you call those things? These have a racist term, didn't they?
Speaker 3: I just called them a clothes horse? Are they clothes horse?
Speaker 3: I don't know what they are, but that would be
Speaker 3: the thing recently they've given myself the most damage on anyway,
Speaker 3: good evening, hell and it's Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 19: Here, High Marcus. What about the pressure cooker.
Speaker 3: You're done it, you've done, You're hidden with that. I
Speaker 3: don't know. I've never gone one near one because my
Speaker 3: mother put my fear of God. She just said, you
Speaker 3: never had one. She'd see people at camping grounds with
Speaker 3: pressure cooker she'd just shake her head.
Speaker 19: Yes, my mother had had one, but I wouldn't. Never
Speaker 19: touched one, and they absolutely freaked me out.
Speaker 3: Did they blow?
Speaker 8: Oh I don't know.
Speaker 16: They go.
Speaker 19: On a roar, but I do understand that sometimes they
Speaker 19: do explode.
Speaker 3: Mind, you've never seen any one of the death noticedes
Speaker 3: that they say the cause of death was the pressure cooker.
Speaker 19: No, well, you haven't seen any the toaster either, have you?
Speaker 3: You will know it. But no one's bringing the pressure
Speaker 3: cooker back, which is interesting. Some online sources came thousands
Speaker 3: have died due to pressure cooker injuries and explosions. Oh
Speaker 3: that's stupid, chad Ai. I wish that and even be
Speaker 3: on my computer excellent pressure. Oh, this is a website
Speaker 3: called pressure cooker lawsuit dot org. It's sort of lawyers.
Speaker 3: That's if you know there's lawyer specializing in pressure cookers.
Speaker 3: You know that probably and there is a pressure cooker bomb.
Speaker 3: You can make a don't google that with the work computer,
Speaker 3: insert explosive material to the pressure cooker and a tasked
Speaker 3: a blasting cap under the cover. You wonder with that.
Speaker 3: While they haven't banned pressure cookers, you can turn them
Speaker 3: into a bomb trig it with a garage door opener.
Speaker 3: I wish I hadn't read that. I feel less safe already,
Speaker 3: good evening. Gussett's Marcus, Oh.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marcus, I reckon it's electric blanket. Years ago when
Speaker 10: near he did my whole family, And because of my stupidity,
Speaker 10: I preheated my young father's bed with turning the EQUI
Speaker 10: blankey on, and I put his teddy on the foot
Speaker 10: of the bed, and we all went to bed, and
Speaker 10: I forgot to turn the blanket off, and it super
Speaker 10: heated the bed where the teddy was, and it made
Speaker 10: a great, big crater in the mattress, a big glowing crater,
Speaker 10: and it filled the whole house with smoke. And I
Speaker 10: woke up about four in the morning. I wondered what
Speaker 10: that funny smell was, and I got up, and I
Speaker 10: remembered the blanket, and I went into his room and
Speaker 10: I pulled the colors down slowly, and here was this
Speaker 10: awesome crater. So I picked the boy up, gave me
Speaker 10: missus the nuds, and we all went outside, and I
Speaker 10: carried the blanket out. I wrapped up tight, the whole bed,
Speaker 10: the mattress and everything, carried it outside, threw it on
Speaker 10: the lawn and hosed it and Heed the whole else
Speaker 10: somewhere out and Nicole waiting for the hair helse to
Speaker 10: hear out. No, I think they're fatal. They can be elected.
Speaker 3: Man was the bear? What was the beer made out of?
Speaker 3: Nothing special?
Speaker 10: Just no, it's just just a normal teddy bear that
Speaker 10: he liked, you.
Speaker 3: Know, and it must have been well. But he was
Speaker 3: just he was just a baby. So the beer would
Speaker 3: have been a couple of feet below him, is that right?
Speaker 10: Oh, he was about four fowome.
Speaker 20: He wasn't injured, No, no, God what whether whether it
Speaker 20: affected his brain or whatnot with all the smoke, I
Speaker 20: don't know.
Speaker 10: It was dreadful. So I took the whole lot of
Speaker 10: the blankets and I dumped them. Or that's it. I'll
Speaker 10: never touch another electric blanket.
Speaker 3: An extraordinary story. Go thank you for that. Wow. Wow,
Speaker 3: haven't got the text yet, Jason Marcus evening.
Speaker 21: Hi, Jason, Yeah, Hello, how's it going good?
Speaker 3: Jason? Thank you?
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, No, I'm just thinking about the old Ringer
Speaker 21: washing machine back in the eighties eighteen eighties nineteen eighties.
Speaker 21: We used to put the clothes through and ring them
Speaker 21: out first and put them in a bowl washer.
Speaker 3: And because often people would arrive at school with broken arms, right,
Speaker 3: and they say they got it stuck in the ringer, right.
Speaker 21: That's exactly what I did myself.
Speaker 3: Okay, because I always thought that was a euphemism for.
Speaker 2: Child abuse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I always thought of the kid had been bashed
Speaker 3: and that was just a convenient excuse. But it generally happen.
Speaker 2: Did it.
Speaker 21: Yes, they had a safety release on them which used
Speaker 21: to pop on the side and let Yeah I'm sory,
Speaker 21: but if yeah, especially put them in towels through to
Speaker 21: let it get a grip on the let the ringer
Speaker 21: get a grip on the hell you arm and sometimes
Speaker 21: go through too, because.
Speaker 3: The adults didn't see what arms be too big to
Speaker 3: go through. Because I didn't see any adults that did
Speaker 3: their arm and the ringer garringer, I.
Speaker 21: Think they adults set the kids up to do it, didn't.
Speaker 3: They shouldn't laugh. I think you'd be surprised. I've read
Speaker 3: just an article in a magazine called Fast Company. I
Speaker 3: don't even know what the magazine is, but looks fairly
Speaker 3: kind of official, but it's pretty interestingly the thing that's
Speaker 3: most likely to send you to the emergency room. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's kind of really interesting actually, and I wish i'd
Speaker 3: brought this up as this discussion earlier. I wonder if
Speaker 3: it was going to be the vacuum cleaner with old
Speaker 3: people tripping. So, yeah, the wayp clients are getting safeer,
Speaker 3: they need to terrifying go with a Teddy Bear and
Speaker 3: the child that had the nap, nap the nappy with
Speaker 3: the safety pin. Flip you imagine line they're now and
Speaker 3: putting them in the bed and put the nappy on
Speaker 3: with the safety pin and going through Grant Marcus welcome.
Speaker 14: Yeah, hi Marcus.
Speaker 7: I'm not saying that fridges are dangerous, but I made
Speaker 7: I got bitten by a fridge back in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 7: We used to have a We had a fridge that
Speaker 7: had that big arm that you pulled down.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like that like that that was the closing lockee.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, anyway, it was it was rattling. It was
Speaker 7: actually the motor, but I thought it was something around
Speaker 7: the motor that was rattling.
Speaker 8: And so.
Speaker 7: It had a vegetable compartment underneath it. Basically, it just
Speaker 7: covered up where the motor was. So I took that
Speaker 7: out and I got a rag and I put it
Speaker 7: between the motor and the body to stop the rattle.
Speaker 7: And I took my hand out, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 7: if I just pushed it in a bit more, it
Speaker 7: might get it. So I put my hand inside and
Speaker 7: it was now before I'd had it in the rag
Speaker 7: around my hand. This time my hand was around the
Speaker 7: rag well the back of my hand touched where the
Speaker 7: wires come in to go after the motor and the light,
Speaker 7: and it grabbed hold of me, and I thought it
Speaker 7: was on the inside of my hand, So I'm trying
Speaker 7: to push off it, and I think I was stuck
Speaker 7: there for about fifteen seconds, and my head was rattling
Speaker 7: away on the door and all that. Anyway, I finally thought, well,
Speaker 7: if this is the way to go, goodbye world. So
Speaker 7: I stopped trying to push and I came off the fridge.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 7: And to fix me, they that they took a graft
Speaker 7: a like a belt from around my waist on my
Speaker 7: right and they left it attached in my groin and
Speaker 7: they put it over the back of my hand. And
Speaker 7: so anyone who sees my hand now thinks that I'll
Speaker 7: in a boxer. But I love having kids on little kids,
Speaker 7: I say, oh when I get when I get a
Speaker 7: nitch on my waist, I got to scratch it on
Speaker 7: the back of.
Speaker 3: My hand, quite advanced for the seventies. A. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: there was a they grew a bit on your waist.
Speaker 3: Is that what they did? Could you say that? But again.
Speaker 7: No, they cut two inches out of my waist but
Speaker 7: left it attached just in my groin and then they
Speaker 7: wrapped they laid that on the back of my hand
Speaker 7: and I was attached like that for three weeks.
Speaker 3: So you'd be in bed yep, so your arm was
Speaker 3: down by your groin with a bit attached to it
Speaker 3: so could grow onto it.
Speaker 7: That's right up.
Speaker 3: Was it a new procedure grant.
Speaker 7: Reasonably? So there was another There was a couple other
Speaker 7: people in the ward that I was in that had had,
Speaker 7: you know, bits attached in other ways to get things
Speaker 7: to grow.
Speaker 3: And then once it's attached, they just trim it to size.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well they didn't. They didn't decrease the height of it.
Speaker 7: They just cut off the end of it where it
Speaker 7: was attached to me. And so I've now I've sort
Speaker 7: of got this thing that it looks a bit like
Speaker 7: a wrap on the back of my hand, just across
Speaker 7: my knuckles.
Speaker 3: They haven't had to have subsequent years go back and.
Speaker 7: Readdress them.
Speaker 3: No, no, So for all those years it's worked.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just getting a bit tight now.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm like sixty eight tomorrow and it's it's
Speaker 7: a bit getting a bit tight. You know, when I
Speaker 7: closed my fist, you know what have.
Speaker 3: The other option been? Decapitation? That's not the word, yeah, amputation, amputation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well you see they tried first to take a
Speaker 7: bit off the back of my hand and just turn
Speaker 7: it round and put it over it, but it didn't work,
Speaker 7: and so for a few days I was there watching
Speaker 7: my tendons working on my index finger.
Speaker 3: Oh god, we an adult?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was about nineteen, I think.
Speaker 3: Did you have a trade or a career?
Speaker 7: I was working in the paper mill at Kinley.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it well yeah, okay, so you're off on
Speaker 3: leave for six months will you.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you managed to get full use in
Speaker 3: your hand again.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good story. Did you throw the fridge away?
Speaker 7: I don't, I think I think my flatmates did get
Speaker 7: rid of that fridge year.
Speaker 3: But a horrible story, Grant. I appreciate that greatly. Hi, Paul,
Speaker 3: it's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 22: Yeah, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 18: Pool?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 22: Just sitting there thinking about it, listening to it, wouldn't
Speaker 22: the most dangerous appliance be the people in the house?
Speaker 3: Yeah, although I don't know you called something an appliance,
Speaker 3: would you?
Speaker 16: No?
Speaker 22: But they're always using one, and it depends on how
Speaker 22: have you.
Speaker 3: Have you have you injured yourself in the house?
Speaker 23: Ah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what appliance was it?
Speaker 17: Well?
Speaker 22: It was poking fork at the toaster.
Speaker 3: I'n't never done that, and I've thought about it.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 22: Yeah, but something so simple. But yeah, it wouldn't have
Speaker 22: been people because well, it wouldn't have been the poster
Speaker 22: if it wasn't me.
Speaker 3: Very good point, Paul, Thank you, extremely good point. Oh
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighteen twenty nineteen nine de text anything else
Speaker 3: here for it, here for it, there for it, up
Speaker 3: for it, up for it, down for it around town
Speaker 3: for it here the end hit the midnight tonight. Oh
Speaker 3: eight hundred eighty ten eighty George.
Speaker 23: You're having fun tonight? Can I give you two to
Speaker 23: make your squam and one to make you laugh. Sure,
Speaker 23: I wanted to make your squam my. We lived in
Speaker 23: a state house many years ago when I was a kid,
Speaker 23: which meant that you had the pathway, came up to
Speaker 23: the back door, you came up onto a landing, and
Speaker 23: you went straight into the kitchen, or I should turn
Speaker 23: left into the laundry, remember those sort of formats. Yes,
Speaker 23: so laundry door was open. My younger sister, my little sister,
Speaker 23: she would have been about three, I suppose climbing the
Speaker 23: steps puts her fingers in the doorjam of the door
Speaker 23: for the laundry, and then you know, behind the hinge,
Speaker 23: and my brother closes it and crunches her fingers.
Speaker 3: I've got to come back at your george on that one.
Speaker 3: I lived in a state house for a while, and
Speaker 3: it had those bread bins.
Speaker 23: Yes, the drop down ones.
Speaker 3: No they're on the ground, they come out, Yeah, they
Speaker 3: come out on the angle. And I closed one with
Speaker 3: my thumb too far forward and slammed it on the thing.
Speaker 3: And honestly, it was one of the only times I
Speaker 3: actually haven't turned up for work because that was yeah,
Speaker 3: and I didn't know you could actually just drill in
Speaker 3: your nail with a whether it was probably before the inside,
Speaker 3: I didn't know. You just got a paper clip and
Speaker 3: heat that up and burns with the nail and release
Speaker 3: the pressure. Because it was it was a hell of
Speaker 3: a night, and I felt that I forgot a cowdy
Speaker 3: fighting up to the doctor to get it pierced. But yeah,
Speaker 3: flip anyway, Yeah, so you're right about that. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: alutely absolutely agree with you.
Speaker 23: It's that crazy number two. As my brother was three
Speaker 23: years old, my dad was off to work and the
Speaker 23: kitchen window was above the sink and the stove was
Speaker 23: to the right, and my mum was boiling some milk
Speaker 23: on the stove with the handle sticking out, and he
Speaker 23: climbed up on the chair, grabbed the handle of the
Speaker 23: pot which had boiling milk in it, to climb up
Speaker 23: and say goodbye to dad, and poured it over himself.
Speaker 23: And he still got the scars from his shoulders down
Speaker 23: to his waist. So that's that did not go down.
Speaker 3: Well, No, you got a scar. I mean that's I mean,
Speaker 3: that's serious burns, doesn't it serious?
Speaker 23: Burn Yes, just survived it. But the third one, my
Speaker 23: mum had a pressure cocker. Since you were talking about
Speaker 23: the melia, and you were wondering, can they be dangerous? Well,
Speaker 23: she was making pea soup with barley and all sorts
Speaker 23: of stuff, boiling it away there, and the top has
Speaker 23: got this little weight on it that holds the pressure,
Speaker 23: and it just rotates as it lets a little bit
Speaker 23: of steam out, starts going wizzle, whizzle, wizzle. And this
Speaker 23: thing's rotating around and around and around a little bit
Speaker 23: as it wobbles, regulating the steam pressure and the pressure cocker.
Speaker 23: And she says to me, don't you dare touch that. Well,
Speaker 23: you know that's an invitation to do something you shouldn't do.
Speaker 23: So I gave it a nudge. This thing took off,
Speaker 23: but you took off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 23: This weight that sits in the middle of the lid
Speaker 23: took off to the ceiling, and so did all the soup.
Speaker 23: There was soup all over the roof. The pressure cocker
Speaker 23: emptied itself out through the nozzle, and like a spray
Speaker 23: gun had sprayed the roof all over the place. It
Speaker 23: was dripping soup. And I spent the next day apparently
Speaker 23: it was my job to clean the roofs and it.
Speaker 3: Would have ended itself quite quickly did it?
Speaker 23: Oh yeah, right, it's a huge amount of pressure in
Speaker 23: there and it just took off because it just bubbles
Speaker 23: up inside with the change of pressure, is it? And
Speaker 23: bubbles up and frosts up and just squirts out. It's
Speaker 23: pretty much did it?
Speaker 2: Pretty much?
Speaker 3: And I told you so moment, isn't it?
Speaker 24: Oh?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 23: And you know, I don't know whether she laughed or cried,
Speaker 23: but it was my job to spend the next day
Speaker 23: actually in the room. How long were we had to
Speaker 23: see that night? Were probably about.
Speaker 3: Twelve inquiring age, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's when you get noisy about things and does
Speaker 23: this work? And you know, should you poke things into
Speaker 23: power sockers to see if they're really alive?
Speaker 3: Wow, it's a good story, George, thank you injuring yourself
Speaker 3: and the most dangant Well, that's a that's a rich
Speaker 3: vein of things to explore for us. If I hadn't mentioned that,
Speaker 3: we wouldn't have got old the guy with his flipp
Speaker 3: and fridge. Wow. Still find that kind of hard to believe,
Speaker 3: Incredibly hard to believe, especially that early form of surgery. Unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Here till midnight. If you want to be a part
Speaker 3: of it. My name is Marcus welcome O eight hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty nine to text. I have got
Speaker 3: some research about what is the most dangerous applies. I
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's really nailed it just yet. And it's
Speaker 3: pretty interesting where it goes the whole discussion. So you
Speaker 3: might have something to say about that. And that's good
Speaker 3: because I am here for you people. Here'll twelve. I
Speaker 3: forgot a new pope. I'll tell you I've got a
Speaker 3: website up of the chimney chimney. It's called chimney cam. No,
Speaker 3: I'm now watching him to watch ads. God, there's nothing
Speaker 3: sacred anymore. Do you a ready there? Give me a
Speaker 3: pop up ad? When I'm trying to see who the
Speaker 3: new pope is? Which is the chimney? That thing little
Speaker 3: hat on the top. It's not much of a chimney,
Speaker 3: is it? You call that a chimney?
Speaker 25: What?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very unexpiring, uninspiring ny chimney. What if
Speaker 3: they sweep it? Someone said the Italian's favorite for two dollars,
Speaker 3: Pietro Parlin from Italy, then Tagle from Philippines. This hasn't
Speaker 3: changed much the last couple of months. It seemed to
Speaker 3: be the Philippine and two of the Italians. Marcus, the
Speaker 3: ceramic cook top only glows red went on. I had
Speaker 3: third degree burns from much you one as a kid,
Speaker 3: not realizing been on awful things and uses for cooking. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they are the devil's cook where those cerabic tops like
Speaker 3: the way they glow, though, I'm still worry about the
Speaker 3: little kids. That kid with the nappy through the sopetyfins,
Speaker 3: through the nappy into an electric blanket and the teddy bear. Wow,
Speaker 3: he says smoke alarm would have I don't even when
Speaker 3: did smoke alarms become a thing? Those portable and tell
Speaker 3: long they be around forty years. Kind Of quite curious
Speaker 3: about that because they must have saved a huge number
Speaker 3: of lives. Oh, I suppose people are probably opposed to
Speaker 3: put it up with the oly dation. How people are
Speaker 3: I don't even made them compulsory for those reasons. Roosters
Speaker 3: an't going to change signed dear evans? Are they? Goodness? Anyway?
Speaker 3: I want to know what's the most dangerous appliance in
Speaker 3: the house. They've got some pretty interesting reveals about this
Speaker 3: one too, actually, but I'm curious to hear your opinion.
Speaker 3: What is the most and what's been the most dangerous
Speaker 3: For me? It was the clothes horse. But I don't
Speaker 3: know if the clothes horses and appliance terrible Christmas Day
Speaker 3: it was too wow, Yeah, the stress of Christmas. Steve Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 26: Marcus. In the mid seventies, we had a bar heater
Speaker 26: and I was a little boy about five years old.
Speaker 26: Used to poker fork in the bar heater, get a
Speaker 26: little jiggle, get a little get a little buzz, and
Speaker 26: then a massive, great big wallop and get thrown up
Speaker 26: against like three or four feet And my mum and
Speaker 26: dad and I started to enjoy it and used to
Speaker 26: do it quite often. But mom and dad couldn't do
Speaker 26: anything because once we got the fork in there, I'd
Speaker 26: get the little power on the little light light electric
Speaker 26: shock can move the fork around. I can still vividly remember,
Speaker 26: Marcus and get thrown up against the wall about three
Speaker 26: fold aweight three four feet away.
Speaker 3: That must have been quite concerned about you.
Speaker 25: True story.
Speaker 26: Marcus loved it like a rugby tackle.
Speaker 3: Is that carried through the adulthood?
Speaker 2: Stop it?
Speaker 26: No, I'm wondering, Yeah, yeah, no, yes, Marcus pranks day,
Speaker 26: ended up in jail all sorts of just being a prankster.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bad if you've got going on, gone to
Speaker 3: jail just for jolly James, Oh.
Speaker 2: Well, I think you know.
Speaker 14: It's sort of grade five.
Speaker 4: What do you call American movies?
Speaker 27: Like, Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 3: Extremely let's extremely into pranking when you're off to the
Speaker 3: big house for it.
Speaker 14: I know, I thought.
Speaker 3: You was going to say, because I took I took
Speaker 3: great joy with the heater, just actually taking the knife,
Speaker 3: just down the up and down, the up and down
Speaker 3: the wire grill made an exciting and satisfying noise. But you,
Speaker 3: but you in full noise, get.
Speaker 26: Thrown up against the wall, like like thrown.
Speaker 11: Bolt the wall.
Speaker 3: Good to hear from you, Steve dB Marcus, Welcome.
Speaker 14: It will covers no surprise to you that the most
Speaker 14: dangerous appliants in this house, there's any appliance that I'm interacting.
Speaker 3: With, Really, are you not good with them?
Speaker 14: To what's got it right? About the pressure cook? I
Speaker 14: did exactly the same thing as an adult that my
Speaker 14: girlfriend was cooking something she says, don't touch at the
Speaker 14: top of that thing. And I did exactly the same
Speaker 14: thing as George attached it and blew it off and
Speaker 14: it put the pot onto the roof.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, isn't it. Well, I guess it's pressure for you.
Speaker 14: Fantastic, fantastic, And you know, Greg science, you get a
Speaker 14: PhD out of you know, lowering the pressure and dropping
Speaker 14: the boiling point and spontaneous combustion and all that.
Speaker 3: Will you see them offer in secondhand shops? What if
Speaker 3: they're worth purchasing? I don't know why. What would you cook?
Speaker 3: What would your money cooking? What was she cooking in
Speaker 3: the pressure cooker? What went to the roof?
Speaker 14: That was corn beef?
Speaker 3: Of course it was.
Speaker 14: It did a lovely corn beef for half leg. In
Speaker 14: this case, that roof tasted good for days. Changing light
Speaker 14: bulbs while the circuit still on stuck my fnue on
Speaker 14: the life prong. That wakes you up in the harry,
Speaker 14: especially you've got a metal.
Speaker 3: Leader a shot from changing a light bulb too. Actually,
Speaker 3: it wasn't pleasant, just because we've got conduit in the
Speaker 3: house and it's not great. I think it conducts power
Speaker 3: or something. I've meant to get it bok at So
Speaker 3: if I'm not here tomorrow, that's what's done.
Speaker 14: It. Some of the biggest bangs. Of course, I got
Speaker 14: some when I was living on my ship and doing
Speaker 14: electrical work on that because quite often I was working
Speaker 14: on live circuits, which in itself's not a big problem
Speaker 14: as long as we don't touch them. And this particularly,
Speaker 14: I was working on a circuit barefoot and standing on
Speaker 14: steel deck when I brushed the finger against the circuit.
Speaker 14: Who that lit me up like a candle.
Speaker 17: That was great.
Speaker 3: Did it realign your urons into a more positive disposition?
Speaker 14: I think it's maybe more mad than I was before
Speaker 14: I started, actually, But we had one of those tasty
Speaker 14: makers going back to dangerous things, and one of my
Speaker 14: sons leant on it while it was hot. Oh yes,
Speaker 14: and the top surface shows no indication it's going to
Speaker 14: be hot and burnt as up very badly.
Speaker 27: Oh wow.
Speaker 14: Okay, So and I would I would as a without
Speaker 14: me being involved, I would say the toaster because of
Speaker 14: the same thing. You don't know it's hot, you haven't
Speaker 14: just move to move the sideways or something, and the
Speaker 14: sides are red hot.
Speaker 3: I've never I've never come to grief with the toaster. Okay,
Speaker 3: but the night's still young. I kin'd even imagine. I
Speaker 3: don't think my toaster would get that hot.
Speaker 14: Perhaps you've never interacted with it to find out that
Speaker 14: the outsides of them can get very hot.
Speaker 3: Well, my toast is so slow. There's sometimes that I've
Speaker 3: worried that I've actually got it on the defrost setting.
Speaker 3: That's how slow it is.
Speaker 14: Yeah, here comes summer.
Speaker 3: Don't say that off and d we thank you. Thirteen
Speaker 3: nights Young, thirteen past nine nickets Marcus welcome.
Speaker 2: Hey here am I good night? Good good. Two things
Speaker 2: spring to mind. The first one is how fast that is.
Speaker 2: Everyone's got one, like a little stip letter, like a
Speaker 2: two dollars shop variety, not quite two dollars shot, but
Speaker 2: not the proper robust letter that you get on a site.
Speaker 3: It's got like some it's like some plastic componentry too,
Speaker 3: it hasn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it's sort of like everyone's got
Speaker 2: one in the house or that, and then there's got one,
Speaker 2: or mum's got one, and this little contraption thing and
Speaker 2: the little step thing folds out, or they've got one
Speaker 2: of those little slidey things and it's got like bits
Speaker 2: of string on it on the sides, and maybe it
Speaker 2: was good in nineteen thirty eight, when it was made
Speaker 2: or something. Well, I went up one of those ones
Speaker 2: hanging fairy lights on a pedg thing, and we were
Speaker 2: inting this quite fresh house on the north shore and
Speaker 2: the head it's like a Spanish style place, and it
Speaker 2: had like a yeah, quite a tacky sort of vineyardy
Speaker 2: sort of look they were going for with these big
Speaker 2: heavy timbers laying on top of the of the purglar,
Speaker 2: so the object being the string fairy lights on top
Speaker 2: of that. And I got up on this cheap old ladder,
Speaker 2: but it's sort of the ladder given away because the
Speaker 2: timber was so heavy they hadn't bothered to pin it down.
Speaker 2: So I leant the ladder against a thing, and as
Speaker 2: soon as I got up past the point, it's just
Speaker 2: the wood itself just gave way and fell off, and
Speaker 2: I had to throw himself backwards because there was a
Speaker 2: rockery you had underneath it. So if I went forward
Speaker 2: with the ladder, I would have been in even bigger trouble.
Speaker 2: And that was probably the worst thing, because literally do
Speaker 2: they you know, I moved and moved ahead, moved to
Speaker 2: toes wiggle the fingers to go through all that motion. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but that was a bit of fun, and I think
Speaker 2: probably the second one. Yeah'll be a dishwasher. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: dishwashers can be very dangerous.
Speaker 22: Hell.
Speaker 2: I found out woll because I've got to call off
Speaker 2: my mate and he said, me, dishwasher is broken. Come
Speaker 2: around and have a look. And you know he's a
Speaker 2: good maide like I work with him for a while
Speaker 2: and so forth, and you know the kind of sort
Speaker 2: of thing we used to do, help each other out
Speaker 2: where we could. So I went, I know nothing about dishwashers,
Speaker 2: but if we're around there anyway, and I stood out
Speaker 2: about four or five beers. He says, all right, well, me,
Speaker 2: dishwashers broken. What we going to do about it? And
Speaker 2: I said, well, obvious, divorce her and get another one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's just smart stoke. It's not me, you know. But
Speaker 2: unfortunately his partner was with an airshot and they were
Speaker 2: going through domestics unbeknownst to me, and she said, well
Speaker 2: you're left this cup last time you were here, and
Speaker 2: she launched. They stayed at me head and said for me,
Speaker 2: dishwashers are very danger subject didn't I'll leave you with that?
Speaker 3: Well handled, nick Jay. It's been a casual sex, have
Speaker 3: we doubled down on it. There we go, get in
Speaker 3: touch Marcus till twelve. How are you people? So what
Speaker 3: would be the most dangerous appliance in the house? And
Speaker 3: I'm pretty curious to hear what you think it is. Now,
Speaker 3: what is interesting is according to hospital admissions. And I'll
Speaker 3: just bring up the literature according to hospital admissions, right,
Speaker 3: And this is according to an article on a magazine
Speaker 3: called The Fast Company, which is design article. A study
Speaker 3: conducted by online loan marketplace lending Tree between twenty thirteen
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty two found the household appliances responsible one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand injuries in twenty twenty two alone.
Speaker 3: They found the biggest culprit of all was, of all things,
Speaker 3: the refrigerator. Yeah. And if you're wondering how refrigerators acted
Speaker 3: as such agents of chaos, it's mainly frigid that are malfunctioning,
Speaker 3: resulting in water around the base. So many of the
Speaker 3: injuries are the result of slips and falls, not while
Speaker 3: using the refrigerator, but jet to puddles and spills that
Speaker 3: accumulated around them. So frigerator was number one, ranges were
Speaker 3: number two. Then vacuum clean is number three. I don't
Speaker 3: know how vacuum cleans would be a thing. Pretty amazing,
Speaker 3: isn't it.
Speaker 2: We go.
Speaker 3: Ranges and ovens led to three hundred and twenty five
Speaker 3: thousand trips to the emergency room. These injuries, unsurprised he
Speaker 3: came in the form of burned and skulls. The next
Speaker 3: three in order of vacuum cleaners, washing machines, and microwave ovens. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The study proposed that the pandemic most likely paid a
Speaker 3: role in the decline of injuries, since people were probably
Speaker 3: les late together hospit believe if they were injured. I've
Speaker 3: never slipped around the fridge. I've never burnt myself badly
Speaker 3: on the oven. I've never done anything bad with a
Speaker 3: vacuum creator. I presume vacu creator people would trip over
Speaker 3: the cord, would they? It does tend to tie you
Speaker 3: up the washing machine in the mind. I don't know
Speaker 3: how you do yourself on a microwave oven. Of course,
Speaker 3: every time I say microwaven, I think that's stupid song.
Speaker 3: I've never liked.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 3: Men at work anyway. Eighteen past nine, we're talking about
Speaker 3: the most dangerous appliants in your house. You might have
Speaker 3: a cursed appliance. Is it pc to note how many
Speaker 3: men are calling stove's left on and bringing down houses
Speaker 3: to get my vote for the most dangerous. But behind
Speaker 3: everyone as a person, Cindy, a lot of people are
Speaker 3: get the most dangerous is the mandolin. My father decided
Speaker 3: to answer my questions about electricity something we cannot see
Speaker 3: and you feel. He instructed me to hold the spark
Speaker 3: plug lead on the lawn while he pulled the starter cord.
Speaker 3: A lot of people are proposing the most dangerous person
Speaker 3: or the most dagorous appliant as their wife, which yep, Joan,
Speaker 3: it's Marcus.
Speaker 28: Welcome, Hello, marcause you get onto some interesting things, don't you.
Speaker 28: About forty two years ago, I had an old couch
Speaker 28: in my place I was living with my two preschool children,
Speaker 28: and there's some material hanging down in the bottom of
Speaker 28: So I'll get a drawing pin and I'll pop it
Speaker 28: up with my thumb. Well, the bloody top come off
Speaker 28: the drawing pin, and the thing on the drawing pm
Speaker 28: went through into my thumb. So I just pulled it
Speaker 28: out as quickly as I could, and it did hear up,
Speaker 28: but oh my gosh, it was sore.
Speaker 3: Do you remember as a child standing on drawing pins
Speaker 3: a lot? I was often standing on them.
Speaker 28: We've always had a tin here on the bookcase in
Speaker 28: the in the TV room when the boys were there,
Speaker 28: and then Boodie had that room. But I was talking
Speaker 28: to my neighbor today because I've got a moon size
Speaker 28: cut on my eye of my leg, and that happened
Speaker 28: when I was three years old. Now, my sister and
Speaker 28: I were fighting over who was taking this can out
Speaker 28: to the rubbish bin.
Speaker 2: On the farm.
Speaker 28: And you walked up to the bin, and of course
Speaker 28: it was the outside toilet, and once Dad had the
Speaker 28: cap beside and we kitten and it fell down the toilet,
Speaker 28: the outside toilet, and he got a rake and got
Speaker 28: it out and washed it. But anyway, we were fighting
Speaker 28: over this tin. Well I got this moon shape scarts
Speaker 28: about half an inch wide, and Mum looked after it,
Speaker 28: and Grandad was staying with us, and he said, oh,
Speaker 28: Joanes should be in hospital, should see the doctor. Mum said, oh, no,
Speaker 28: I'm looking after her. I can't remember that, but I
Speaker 28: ended up the one that got the top of the tin.
Speaker 28: And of course now a lot of them they're pull off,
Speaker 28: and of course Mum always said, make sure you're pressing
Speaker 28: the top of the tin when you open a tin
Speaker 28: of baked beans or food or something.
Speaker 3: You know. Just making about drawing pins is now they've
Speaker 3: got the ones they don't I mean, why did they
Speaker 3: design a drawing pin that would fall so it was sharp?
Speaker 3: But up with those bits with a wide circlear bit
Speaker 3: because of course now they're brilliant. Now you drop one
Speaker 3: and they don't go in the body. But I was
Speaker 3: often standing on drawing pins at school end at home.
Speaker 3: It doesn't happen to the kids. Maybe that's the problem.
Speaker 3: Too much social media. I enough, drawing pins. Very unpleasant feeling. Joe,
Speaker 3: nice to talk, Thank you, Matt Marcus, welcome.
Speaker 4: Hey, how's going good?
Speaker 2: Matt?
Speaker 4: Hey, Yeah, I just got a bit of a story.
Speaker 4: So I was quite fortunate to grow up in the eighties.
Speaker 4: So we sort of grew up playing outside, so not
Speaker 4: really our clients, but we're playing bor us one day
Speaker 4: outside and I managed to touch the street light and
Speaker 4: it gave me a hell of a shock. So it
Speaker 4: being because we were we decided that, hey, let's build
Speaker 4: a chain and see if we can all get a shop.
Speaker 4: So we got to the point we got to about
Speaker 4: six people and then someone decided that put their foot
Speaker 4: on on the drain down on the street, and we're
Speaker 4: all going to have a shop. Well, I think the
Speaker 4: longest we had it for we'll probably be up for
Speaker 4: or five seconds.
Speaker 3: How were you touching the street light?
Speaker 4: So you know on the street, pol it was like
Speaker 4: a metal must I think it a screen. I don't
Speaker 4: know what it was. So it just happened to be
Speaker 4: touching it or with playing boris and it gave me
Speaker 4: a shot.
Speaker 3: So it was it was so slightly miss wired or
Speaker 3: something was it?
Speaker 4: I would assume so because we ended up just being
Speaker 4: able to not a good thing, but we end up
Speaker 4: being able to just kick the light and send all
Speaker 4: the lights out on the street.
Speaker 3: None you met, Thank you. Twenty five past nine, Steve
Speaker 3: Marcus welcome.
Speaker 27: Oh good evening, Marcos. I heard you say that you
Speaker 27: couldn't think how a microwave could be to cause an accident.
Speaker 27: So I thought i'd share with the group. I thought
Speaker 27: I'd be clever. One year I was making a Christmas
Speaker 27: cake and all the time, and so rather than soak
Speaker 27: the fruit overnighting brandy, I thought this will work a
Speaker 27: lot better if I warmed the brandy. Don't ever try
Speaker 27: warming brandy in a microwave. I warmed the brandy alcohol.
Speaker 27: It blew up the microwave completely, blew the door clear off,
Speaker 27: split my head open.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm glad, I pondered allowed, because that's quite a
Speaker 3: visual demonstration. So the alcohol evaporates, and yeah, what ignites it?
Speaker 27: I guess being gaseous, it goes into the componentry of
Speaker 27: the microwave and something somewhere. Sparks don't by the internal
Speaker 27: componentry of a microwave very well, but apparently there must
Speaker 27: be something and that it can ignite it.
Speaker 3: Do microwave people know that?
Speaker 27: Personally? You were talking about most appliances that are dangerous.
Speaker 27: I think if you think about microwaves these days, where
Speaker 27: you can get the combination ones which they can have
Speaker 27: it metal in them because they are an oven, and
Speaker 27: then they can't have metal in them because there are
Speaker 27: a microwave. There are so many rules that don't apply
Speaker 27: to what we used to think of microwave. Was I
Speaker 27: reckon there a hazard waiting to happen?
Speaker 3: But would most people with a microwave know you can't
Speaker 3: use it to warm alcohol?
Speaker 27: I thought in hindsight that maybe it was a stupid
Speaker 27: thing to do.
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't doot it. I mean, I don't drink it,
Speaker 3: don't have a microwave. But that's unlike so bloated with
Speaker 3: a loud bang.
Speaker 27: Oh, it completely warped the microwave. The entire chassis of
Speaker 27: the microwave was just twisted. It blew up with a
Speaker 27: with a quite a.
Speaker 3: Bang, and the door came out with you perpendicular on
Speaker 3: the same x as it was already.
Speaker 27: Yeah, so the microwave was eye level and it blew
Speaker 27: the door clear open and hit me in the head.
Speaker 3: But still stayed on its hinges.
Speaker 27: Yeah, still stayed on its hinges, but it blew that.
Speaker 27: It blew the door open with such force that it
Speaker 27: hit me in the head and gave me nasty cat
Speaker 27: six stitches.
Speaker 3: Did did the surgeon say, this is the sixth person
Speaker 3: this week I've done with trying to heat up brandy
Speaker 3: in the microwave. That's what they normally say, isn't it.
Speaker 27: But the acc form was something that I'm sure someone
Speaker 27: got to chuckle out of.
Speaker 3: That was the cake. Did it persevere with the Christmas cake?
Speaker 2: I did?
Speaker 27: Yeah, Christmas cake with a great, great success.
Speaker 3: Okay, you did the brandy elsewhere you came back from
Speaker 3: the stitches. Was it I'm just trying to think. Was
Speaker 3: it down vertically down the forehead?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 27: So basically it was the edge of the door when
Speaker 27: it opened hit me vertically. So I basically had a vertical,
Speaker 27: vertical cut across the top of my forehead. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Where you're standing. So we're watching it. We're watching the
Speaker 3: Whisky and the Brandy go around.
Speaker 27: I was waiting for it. I was in a hurry.
Speaker 10: What can my surprise?
Speaker 3: Was it just in what container?
Speaker 27: Was it in either a glass pirates jug?
Speaker 3: Wow? I never thought that would happen.
Speaker 27: No, neither did I.
Speaker 3: These are good stories. Well, good dog. What I'm liking
Speaker 3: about on these exits? They quite visual, aren't they? The fridge,
Speaker 3: the microwave, abet to find someone get injured themselves with
Speaker 3: the vacuum cleaner. But the night is young? Oh wait,
Speaker 3: one way to head on midnight tonight if you want
Speaker 3: to come through. We are talking about the most dangerous
Speaker 3: appliance in the home.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Some would say the internet these days, Hey, you can
Speaker 3: learn some pretty wacky doodle stuff on that. Well, when
Speaker 3: I say learn, that's an inverted Commas, of course, Marcus
Speaker 3: sent from high Marcus. I would have thought an iron
Speaker 3: would be high up on the list. The habit of
Speaker 3: ending the iron on the end of the earn up
Speaker 3: ending the iron on the end of the earning board.
Speaker 3: I've had mine land on the floor many times. They
Speaker 3: have a bloke broken ye which needs replacing, also left
Speaker 3: on and you leave the room boom fire. I think,
Speaker 3: and this might sound stupid, and I don't want to,
Speaker 3: but I think probably people too, in a hurry have
Speaker 3: iron the shirt while it's on themselves. Now that doesn't
Speaker 3: tend to end well. Give us have a little bit
Speaker 3: of a burn, gets quite hot quicker than you think.
Speaker 3: We didn't have an iron, because what would I iron.
Speaker 3: I don't know if most people have an irons these
Speaker 3: days or night irons. John, Thanks for hanging on there
Speaker 3: and good evening, John AT's Marcus. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Hello, Marcus.
Speaker 18: Vacuum cleaners. They are the most dangerous household of plants
Speaker 18: you could possibly have, because you need to put a
Speaker 18: lot of physical effort into using the bloody thing.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree, and.
Speaker 18: You can you can have a heart attack. As a
Speaker 18: great uncle of mine dead on the end of a
Speaker 18: vacuum cleaner. So I wouldn't. I wouldn't touch a vacuum
Speaker 18: cleaner if you paid me.
Speaker 3: They are annoying things. It's an annoying weight down low.
Speaker 3: I've always found them hard work.
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, and you get yourself tangled up in the cord.
Speaker 3: It's never an exting time, victiiming. And then you switch
Speaker 3: from carpet to floor and it won't the adjustment won't
Speaker 3: click on you.
Speaker 18: I don't like them, no, But Marcus, can I go
Speaker 18: back to a subject you mentioned very early on tonight?
Speaker 18: There was a chap rang in and he had a
Speaker 18: wound and he got it fixed by grafting skin from
Speaker 18: one part of his body onto another part. Can you
Speaker 18: recall that conversation?
Speaker 3: I recall conversations from twelve years ago.
Speaker 18: But anyway, it brought to mind a relative of mine,
Speaker 18: Sir William Manchester. He was a pioneer in plastic surgery
Speaker 18: and he perfected, along with Sarah Shee Macendo, the art
Speaker 18: of grafting skin to repair words. He did a lot
Speaker 18: of work with airline pilots after the war, with burns
Speaker 18: and things like that. And there's a very good book
Speaker 18: written about plastic surgery and him in particular. The book
Speaker 18: is called Perfection. It's a good read if anybody's interested.
Speaker 3: Was he a Kiwi yep?
Speaker 18: Born and bred and Wyometti Wow?
Speaker 3: Him a Norman kerk Yep yep.
Speaker 18: And you know there are so many things hang on.
Speaker 3: John Yep. I think Wyometti is also famous. I think
Speaker 3: when I was in Wyamette not so long ago, there
Speaker 3: was a statue of the country's first female doctor.
Speaker 18: There is that, right, Uh, could well be. I'm not
Speaker 18: aware of that.
Speaker 3: You should be.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 18: I did go to school in Wyometty for three years
Speaker 18: with Norman Kirk.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 18: I was at why Metty Primary School in nineteen fifty
Speaker 18: through to nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 3: Did you race on the velodrome?
Speaker 29: No?
Speaker 18: But it had seats all around the edge of it
Speaker 18: that we used to jump from one seat to the next.
Speaker 3: Noticed those seats? Yeah?
Speaker 18: Yeah, And they had a peacock in the gardens at
Speaker 18: that yep. No, but my mother was a Manchester, so
Speaker 18: the name Manchester is quite well known in Wyometty.
Speaker 3: Did he go over Casar remained in the country.
Speaker 18: Oh No, He worked a lot in London, but he
Speaker 18: set up the Burns unit at Burwood Hospital here in
Speaker 18: christ Church after the war.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I am slightly familiar with him.
Speaker 18: Yeah, if you googled it you'd probably find them so
Speaker 18: well your Manchester.
Speaker 26: But he.
Speaker 18: Spent the last years of his life working as a
Speaker 18: plus succeedson in Auckland.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I am familiar with Yeah.
Speaker 18: But anyway, don't touch a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 3: Terrible things and I don't know why they designed so badly.
Speaker 3: It's the weight, and it's that oh well.
Speaker 18: I used to have one that was sort of an
Speaker 18: upright thing. And when I had that, we were living
Speaker 18: in a house that was on several levels and christ
Speaker 18: to get this damned vacuum cleaner for one level to
Speaker 18: the next, it was quite a mission.
Speaker 17: You know.
Speaker 3: I just think that I think it's the gods. I
Speaker 3: think it's the devil's appliance, the old vacuum cleaner, thank you,
Speaker 3: oh weight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. The most
Speaker 3: dangerous of all the appliance is they say it's the fridge,
Speaker 3: mainly because you'll do the old slip, well, the old
Speaker 3: slip or the new slip, whatever the slip is, Hello
Speaker 3: peteway Mark.
Speaker 30: Yeah, I reckon the old electric radio inside tents. Well,
Speaker 30: when I was a young boy, had me mate, it's
Speaker 30: a big it's the big thing we used to Somebody
Speaker 30: used to invite me friends around. It was the summertime.
Speaker 30: It'd always Mum and dad. It'd be one of those
Speaker 30: canvas tents over to pebb put two stretches inside of
Speaker 30: a pole in the center. So so he always had
Speaker 30: a radio in the listened to a bit of music and
Speaker 30: it was big time. And those day here radio inside
Speaker 30: your tinge and that. But sometimes that will cut out
Speaker 30: a bit and then let me mate, he will still made.
Speaker 30: He might be listening to his name as John. And
Speaker 30: one day, so one day and it cut out. And
Speaker 30: so those days I didn't realize that that's why you're
Speaker 30: your kids. You don't realize what how what power does?
Speaker 30: What's how dangerous is? So I thought I would turn
Speaker 30: the power off on the switch, you know you just
Speaker 30: turn off like on and off button, you know.
Speaker 21: So what I did.
Speaker 30: I went and then I thought I'd try to fix
Speaker 30: this wire up, you know, I try to find out
Speaker 30: where it's cutting out this So I wouldn't stop doing that,
Speaker 30: and I sticked me and I stick my fingers in there.
Speaker 7: Next minute, it just froze me. The elterricy just frozen.
Speaker 7: But it doesn't just yeah, it just grabs your yeah,
Speaker 7: just grabs your muscles.
Speaker 30: And I was trying to yell out to him, like
Speaker 30: you know, try.
Speaker 7: To get it, draw his attention. It just it just
Speaker 7: tightens your tongue.
Speaker 22: You can't talk.
Speaker 30: It just for lucky enough, I actually managed somehow to
Speaker 30: get loose to this flaming wire because I started yelling
Speaker 30: next and old John I think he almost shit himself.
Speaker 7: I think that when it was.
Speaker 30: Going on, I said, I didn't you didn't you hear
Speaker 30: me yelling out? It must have been harding how long it
Speaker 30: must have been. I had no thirty seconds, but it
Speaker 30: seems seems a long time. When you're at you in
Speaker 30: the electricity, it gets hold of your muscles or your voice,
Speaker 30: your voice box, and I let loose. And I always
Speaker 30: ever since then, I respected electricity because you don't realize
Speaker 30: it's how dangerous it is, you know. So yes, I've
Speaker 30: never been the same since there mar because I reckon
Speaker 30: I could have developed the latest EV vehicle forby forty
Speaker 30: years ago.
Speaker 3: So you're in where were you in this tent?
Speaker 30: So on the on the farm on the lawn and
Speaker 30: he got.
Speaker 3: It plugged into the mains.
Speaker 30: Yeah, so we had we had a tool tool explain.
Speaker 3: That peak because everyone thinks you're in a tent and
Speaker 3: be a trendy. You got in the tent with you.
Speaker 30: No, it's elelectric electric radio, a plug in one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was they had to run a pair accord
Speaker 7: into the tent.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't do that.
Speaker 30: We know, that's what we We always had just we
Speaker 30: just run up on the woods. You did, and they
Speaker 30: had a pair point in there.
Speaker 3: Are you living in the tent?
Speaker 7: No, No, we're just standing there a couple of nights.
Speaker 7: And that's a big thing in those days, sleeping in
Speaker 7: the tent.
Speaker 30: Get out of the house.
Speaker 3: No, No, with you. They're good on you for saying that.
Speaker 3: I've good on you for for sticking out for that.
Speaker 3: You're right about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I never forget that. So ever since then,
Speaker 7: I respected electricity because you don't realize how dangerous it is.
Speaker 7: I I always thought, how come I go literature and
Speaker 7: I didn't know.
Speaker 30: I said, well, you're only turning the pair off on
Speaker 30: the say, turning the raady off and the powers on inside.
Speaker 30: So especial when your kids. You don't realize it, do
Speaker 30: you kids are kids are the kid?
Speaker 3: Then yeah, you a better epecuted. So you almost feel
Speaker 3: it's like you're grip your muscles kind of clench.
Speaker 7: It does it does? You just have no control? You're yelling.
Speaker 7: I was yelling to him, but my voice box was frozen.
Speaker 30: It grabs your voicebox. It just it just freezes all
Speaker 30: your muscles.
Speaker 7: You can't you you know you're yelling.
Speaker 30: You think you're yelling, but I.
Speaker 7: Just you can't.
Speaker 30: You can't talk. It just frozes, just freezes your voicebox,
Speaker 30: I suppose, and imagine them and managed to let it go.
Speaker 30: And then I yell at him and old Johnny here
Speaker 30: and say you almost really jumped in the other side
Speaker 30: of the tent. So yeah, so yes, Elson's then I
Speaker 30: was very weary of electricity. Was probably it was a good.
Speaker 7: Listen for me.
Speaker 30: I suppose is what if he is listening, it might
Speaker 30: be he's probably better than half a hour's drive from
Speaker 30: where I lived. But year's name was Johnny. It was
Speaker 30: actually quite fun with me. Yes, yeah, yes, they need you.
Speaker 30: And I shouldn't say it, but I actually had a
Speaker 30: brother in law. You got litercuded to in the in
Speaker 30: the power coat. Here, you're years ago. Same thing with electricity.
Speaker 30: You know, you don't play around with electricity.
Speaker 3: No oh no, you got to respect you got to
Speaker 3: respect that. But good on, you're well, said Berry. It's Marcus.
Speaker 20: Welcome all Marcus, how are you good?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 10: The guy that rung in earlier that said he's got
Speaker 10: he got caught up on the ringer wise means sing
Speaker 10: my mother in law got her breast caught in it.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 10: Wow, it was a common thing back in the time, because.
Speaker 3: That's not something I thought on here tonight.
Speaker 10: No, I just was thinking to let you know or not.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Was she okay?
Speaker 10: Yeah? I didn't know her then, but she five, she's
Speaker 10: just did a fortnight ago. Wow, my wife went over
Speaker 10: to Ozzie to see about.

Speaker 10: job letting go with it.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, I can't imagine how that happens, but she would
Speaker 3: certainly know cheap as.
Speaker 10: Yes, but I yes, I say, I think it was
Speaker 10: a common thing for women that day, those.
Speaker 3: Days to get their breasts caught in the ringer. Yes, well,
Speaker 3: I've learned something tonight, Barry, thank you very much for that.
Speaker 3: I had no idea that was a thing. Goodness, John

Speaker 15: my mate were playing around with all electrolux and you
Speaker 15: can reverse them, you know, you can make it blow right,
Speaker 15: And well we've got a bit board blowing ping pong
Speaker 15: balls out. So we decided to put our pet mice
Speaker 15: in there. And I don't recommend it, but anyway, accidentally
Speaker 15: turned it around and it shot me in the eye
Speaker 15: and I got a bloody black eye from this mouse.
Speaker 8: The mouse is all right.
Speaker 31: Because we used to shoot them out of the window.
Speaker 31: There's only one story, but they landed all right. But yeah,
Speaker 31: they just want to let you know that so they
Speaker 31: can be dangerously vacuum clients with the wrong things.
Speaker 3: Brilliant John, thank you for that. Welcome, good evening money.
Speaker 3: Marcus hitdled telf We talk about the most dangerous appliants
Speaker 3: in the home, which they say is the fridge. But
Speaker 3: the fridge is so dangerous and how much how dangerous
Speaker 3: must the mop be? If The reason the fridge is
Speaker 3: so dangerous is because that people are always slipping on
Speaker 3: puddles from it. So yeah, anyway, get in touch. My
Speaker 3: name is Marcus Welcome. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty and
Speaker 3: nine two nine TUTA texts do come through, Do come through,

Speaker 3: across that so you will know. We'll go breaking on that.
Speaker 3: Off what happened? I don't know it happened today, but
Speaker 3: you never know. Did. It's Marcus Welcome, Marcus.
Speaker 29: I was electrocuted with the line foe. The lightning hit
Speaker 29: it and stretched me out in my dining.
Speaker 17: Room, and it.
Speaker 29: Stretched me out. Do you know how you see them
Speaker 29: drawing in the in the books and that when electricity
Speaker 29: hit you. That's just how it was. And the phone
Speaker 29: come back and hit me in the hit me in
Speaker 29: the ear, and my foot came up in the air
Speaker 29: and came down on my foot and knocked me down
Speaker 29: to the ground. So I don't know about these new
Speaker 29: phones now, but that was a lot long line, so
Speaker 29: it can be quite dangerous too.
Speaker 14: How long did did?
Speaker 3: How long ago was this?
Speaker 23: Oh?
Speaker 29: This is going back about ten years ago?
Speaker 3: And whereabout what study?
Speaker 16: And where in the red?
Speaker 29: It was in Kio in the bar north.
Speaker 3: So when you say did, when you say it stretched
Speaker 3: you out like in the diagrams that when your legs
Speaker 3: and your eyes and everything you are at full extent.
Speaker 29: Yeah, just stretched me right out. I was leaning on
Speaker 29: the dining room table with my foot on the piano stool,
Speaker 29: and I was buying a Stadion Arabian horse, talking to
Speaker 29: the guy that was selling it. Then the lightning and
Speaker 29: the lightning in the bolomen thunder was going and I
Speaker 29: didn't take any notice of that. And the next minute
Speaker 29: I stretched out and my arm was stretched out, and
Speaker 29: when it went off the line, my arm came back
Speaker 29: to where my ear was and smacked me in the
Speaker 29: in the ear, and then my one foot came up
Speaker 29: in the air, and then that came down on my
Speaker 29: other pot and then I cracked her on the ground.
Speaker 29: The guy rung back. I slammed the phone down. The
Speaker 29: guy rung back, I says electric storm, electric storm, and
Speaker 29: slammed the phone down. And I used to play with
Speaker 29: electricity with things that used to get broken. And I
Speaker 29: was using a pocket knife and had a plastic handle,
Speaker 29: and it was plugged in and it wasn't going, and
Speaker 29: I was touching everything and the electorsity melted the whole
Speaker 29: steel knife and left me with the plastic in my hand.
Speaker 29: That plastic hadn't have been on the recon, i'd have
Speaker 29: been dead.
Speaker 3: Did you have any repercussions or wounds from when you
Speaker 3: got shot when you're buying the stallion?
Speaker 29: No, I wasn't by the standing. I was bringing the
Speaker 29: guy up to buy a stallion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that first.
Speaker 3: But when you got shot, when you got shocked when
Speaker 3: you were trying to buy the stallion, did you have
Speaker 3: any permanent name?
Speaker 29: It was a pain, pain in the air, and I'm
Speaker 29: really sore foot, and I wondered why I was on
Speaker 29: the ground. So there's there's not many long lines there
Speaker 29: tarry phone wires around now, don't okay, So I don't
Speaker 29: know how it would go with these phones that we've
Speaker 29: got today, but anywhere where this electors a year in
Speaker 29: the house. That's that's your danger.
Speaker 3: Brilliant. I appreciate you, Tid. That's a good story. I
Speaker 3: think it was. I think he probably meant Landline. I
Speaker 3: don't know that, but I don't want to correct people.
Speaker 3: Twelve past eleven, Laureate's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 16: Yeah, that he would have heard a good name for
Speaker 16: the horse of fever boy.
Speaker 3: Well, I said with your Barger says, and I wasn't.
Speaker 3: I wasn't. Didn't want to go back there, but yeah, anyway, yeah,
Speaker 3: lightning would be wow.
Speaker 16: Yeah. He One of the most dangerous appliances used to
Speaker 16: be the electric jug and that was to do with
Speaker 16: you know, people snagging the going person catching the cord
Speaker 16: when it was boiling.
Speaker 3: And pulling on it too. Was always dangerous, was it.
Speaker 16: Yeah, So they used to sell those safety holders, you know,
Speaker 16: you put your jug in which is attached to the wall,
Speaker 16: and they couldn't.
Speaker 3: I've never heard of that.
Speaker 16: When was this, Oh, there would be probably twenty five
Speaker 16: years ago.
Speaker 10: Probably.
Speaker 16: I think I've still going out and the shid I
Speaker 16: do something else with it now. But you're touched to
Speaker 16: the wall. It was like a little cage type thing and.
Speaker 3: The jug what would I google like a jug safety
Speaker 3: electric jug safety.
Speaker 16: Cage safety holder. Yeah, yeah, degree und there. But there
Speaker 16: was a spectacular story with about the microwave warming out
Speaker 16: the alcohol. If if, if everything can instructed a microwave
Speaker 16: of them. There's there's some big magnets in there, you know,
Speaker 16: powerful enough that you can't push them together. But I
Speaker 16: can remember a story was before we had a microph
Speaker 16: wave of our own. Son went around to play with
Speaker 16: mats place the parents were away, and there were a
Speaker 16: bit of a novelty the microwave, and they started off
Speaker 16: catching blowflies and putting them in the microwave, and they
Speaker 16: apparently blew up and made quite a mess. And then
Speaker 16: they moved on to some of these things like market pens.
Speaker 16: The well colored market pins are in those metal cases.
Speaker 16: Stuck one of those and apparently and that really blew
Speaker 16: up with spectacular results, you know, colored everywhere. Let's say
Speaker 16: it's for some records times, you know, well to come home.
Speaker 3: Well, I think, yeah, I've never I've never, I've never
Speaker 3: really got involved with one. I always thought that's terrifying.
Speaker 16: But I find the the old pressure cooker is much
Speaker 16: maligned in some respects. So we did it used to
Speaker 16: all the old Land of Zero department. We used to
Speaker 16: get issue with pressure cookers, you know, for camp cooking,
Speaker 16: and they had safety valves in them, and so long
Speaker 16: as you didn't you know, you monitored to watch them
Speaker 16: while lower cooking. You got to a certain height and
Speaker 16: the valve came up a certain number of rings, and
Speaker 16: then you turned the heat down.
Speaker 3: And what do you mean they came up a certain
Speaker 3: number of rings? Tell me about that.
Speaker 16: Well, there we used to be a pressure valve on them.
Speaker 16: It raised up as the pressure inside because he didn't
Speaker 16: put much water in them really, so the water would
Speaker 16: start boiling, the pressure inside would push up a little valve.
Speaker 16: And for some things the recipes said, you know, with potatoes,
Speaker 16: if it came up say two rings, and then you
Speaker 16: kept it at that level for maybe you know, it
Speaker 16: only took you know, four or five minutes to cook
Speaker 16: that sort of stuff, and then you that was enough,
Speaker 16: you know, and then you took it off the heat
Speaker 16: and slowly released There was a weight that you could
Speaker 16: take off or you could just let it you know,
Speaker 16: dissiplate slowly. But but there was a fail safe. And
Speaker 16: even back and we're talking the sixties, they all had
Speaker 16: little little safety valves, like the additional thing was supposed
Speaker 16: to blow before you know, the lid came. Well, they
Speaker 16: were the way they were constructed, xt you couldn't really
Speaker 16: get the lid off.
Speaker 3: Laurie was the whole point of a pressure cooker that
Speaker 3: it was just much much quicker, is it the whole
Speaker 3: point of it.
Speaker 16: Much much quicker? Yeah, yeah, and saved on because we
Speaker 16: were mostically cooking on primers and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: So yeah, they so it was it was specifically an
Speaker 3: element you want to be good for the outdoor use
Speaker 3: because it was light and it was efficient efficient Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 16: When you can cook you know sort of. The old
Speaker 16: corned beef was one of the things that you could
Speaker 16: you could do pretty quickly. How quickly Oh well, well
Speaker 16: that might be a bit longer, but it might only
Speaker 16: be you know, possibly half an hour, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 16: But the other vegetables you had little separate comparments for
Speaker 16: different veggies and you know, they could all be done
Speaker 16: and you know probably five minutes. And stews and stuff
Speaker 16: like that, and uh, they were we had them down
Speaker 16: the Antarctic as well.
Speaker 3: But I always, Laurie, I always wonder when you've got
Speaker 3: to meet you the attactic. I like that in the attactic. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we laur the tactic with a pressure cooker. What were
Speaker 3: you cooking about?
Speaker 16: Well, just get the old you know, the old, the high,
Speaker 16: the early d high stuff, and put water, you know,
Speaker 16: did a soak all day and uh and then you
Speaker 16: throw raisins and all anything else in there and get that.
Speaker 16: The early dehydrated stuff really did need something like a
Speaker 16: pressure cocker sippinder. It's sort of edible, it.
Speaker 3: Was, yeah, but and be quite tender.
Speaker 16: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: You couldn't go roast and it was just stuff within
Speaker 3: water on.
Speaker 16: No, no, it had to be just water pressure. Yeah.
Speaker 16: The one that I knew, I mean as in the
Speaker 16: side you know the that those guys that did the
Speaker 16: the bombers the Chicago marathon, those those two.
Speaker 3: That's right, they did a pressure cooker. They were they
Speaker 3: they were they are mean, they are met.
Speaker 16: They were from.
Speaker 3: Kids. We're one of the we shouldn't we shouldn't malign
Speaker 3: the wrong anyway, the initiality doesn't matter.
Speaker 16: But yes, they of Russian origins anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they used to They used to pressure cooker,
Speaker 3: did they?
Speaker 16: Yeah? Well, I know they had amongst they had a
Speaker 16: number of things set happen. I know that one of
Speaker 16: them was a pressure cooker.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but.
Speaker 16: Apparently, as you say on YouTube, they had got a
Speaker 16: bit of a reputation.
Speaker 3: But I think they're from chitch chitchen the chitchen.
Speaker 16: Yeah yeah. I think in that sort of case, they're
Speaker 16: thinking of something that's going to blow up and it's
Speaker 16: going to be like a fragmentation type device. Basically it's
Speaker 16: gonna be a lot of shred and will go with it.
Speaker 16: Whereas ones, So.
Speaker 3: Why do people use them?
Speaker 16: Larry Well, I think there was a bit of a
Speaker 16: renaissance with them. Maybe it mightbe less than ten years ago.
Speaker 16: You were starting to see them around. I don't know.
Speaker 3: You put them on the element. You don't put them
Speaker 3: in the oven, do you.
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 16: No, No, it's just sort of an element or you know,
Speaker 16: guess stuff like that. So you're just going to.
Speaker 2: Boil it.
Speaker 16: You know, probably less than a cupful of watergoes in them,
Speaker 16: and it's it is very you know, probably the most
Speaker 16: fel efficient player of cooking. And it does soften things
Speaker 16: pretty well, you know, It's not like boiling hell out
Speaker 16: of cabbage like people used to. You know, it was
Speaker 16: sort of if you've did it for the right time,
Speaker 16: it was pretty good, but you can it retained a
Speaker 16: lot of the goodness as well. But I haven't haven't
Speaker 16: mind still in the shed my life. I'm not using
Speaker 16: it the term.
Speaker 3: I using what using your jug cage in the shed for.
Speaker 3: That's got me interested as well. Something else sounds pretty serious.
Speaker 16: Well, I've got to like a jug I use out
Speaker 16: in the shed for for balling the odd thing up.
Speaker 16: But sometimes I've just either got a care of paint
Speaker 16: sitting in that thing. It's yeah, they well when you
Speaker 16: google it, did it come up with an right the
Speaker 16: joke holders? Were they still around?
Speaker 3: I couldn't find an image. I'm actually moved on to
Speaker 3: pressure cookers to find out. Yeah, I found an article
Speaker 3: that says the article says, right Yeph. Now, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3: I don't have to go because it's actually scrolling for me.
Speaker 3: Something's gone bed with my computer. But thank you. I
Speaker 3: want to go to John because John's a callback. John
Speaker 3: A's Marcus.
Speaker 32: Welcome, good evening, Marcus, how are you tonight?
Speaker 3: You good? Thank you John?
Speaker 2: Good good Marcus.
Speaker 32: You were talking to a gentleman late on I think
Speaker 32: it was Monday evening and he was recapping the or
Speaker 32: trying to track the history of his family, and the
Speaker 32: subject of Western Springs came up, Yes, and he was
Speaker 32: trying to locate a street.
Speaker 3: There, number four. Was it number four? Bennerman?
Speaker 23: No?
Speaker 10: From what from the way you described it.
Speaker 32: He said that you used to come down the Bullock
Speaker 32: Track and then turn on to Great North Road and
Speaker 32: it was about two hundred and fifty meters along the road. Well,
Speaker 32: when I was a youngster, I used to work for
Speaker 32: the local grocer there and deliver the groceries on the
Speaker 32: bike here it used to do.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 32: And the road that he I'm pretty sure that he's
Speaker 32: trying to identify with is called Ivanhoe Road.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 32: Now Ivanhoe Road is actually on the other side of
Speaker 32: the new motorway. But what happened was when they created
Speaker 32: the new expressway right through Western Springs there, they took
Speaker 32: it because I lived there when there was trams on
Speaker 32: the on Great North Road, you know, That's how far
Speaker 32: I go back, and there was a big block of
Speaker 32: flats and then there was Ivanhoe Road, which was about
Speaker 32: directly opposite the entrance way to Western Spring Speedway and
Speaker 32: the way that they've reconfigured that Now if you look
Speaker 32: at a Google map, it's actually.
Speaker 10: They cut off Ivanhoe Road.
Speaker 32: To the Great North Road and they put an egress
Speaker 32: that accesses it like a slip road going onto the expressway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, John, I'm sure he said the address was
Speaker 3: for Bannerman Road.
Speaker 32: Now well for Bannerman Road Way up in Western Springs Road.
Speaker 6: Yes, But.
Speaker 3: As part of the call he did say that because
Speaker 3: he wondered if that had been close, if that had
Speaker 3: been shortened by the motorway when that went through by
Speaker 3: Chamberlain Park. So but look, look, so I did think
Speaker 3: he mentioned that. But look, so do you think you've
Speaker 3: got you think it's Ivanhoe Road?
Speaker 6: Do you?
Speaker 10: I would have, I would have said, given the way
Speaker 10: he described it.
Speaker 32: Yeah, by he came down the Bullock Track and then
Speaker 32: you turned onto Great North Road and it was about
Speaker 32: two hundred and fifty meters along the road in the
Speaker 32: road would have been Ivanhoe.
Speaker 3: I appreciate that, John, Thank you. By the way, I
Speaker 3: am just watching the start of the All Black the
Speaker 3: Tall Blacks playing the Australian team. Just for anything down
Speaker 3: is it's just a friendly to three manch series. But
Speaker 3: what is interesting is I'm looking at the people doing
Speaker 3: the haka and I think three or four of them
Speaker 3: I saw on Saturday night playing for the Canterbury Rams
Speaker 3: when they saw off the South and Sharks convincingly. There's
Speaker 3: the big unit with the big bed and the long
Speaker 3: haired guy. I think the four or five of them,
Speaker 3: it's appeared to be players from Canterbury. Someone got the
Speaker 3: teamless there for me because I'm sure that most of
Speaker 3: them are from the Canterbury Rams. So I just yeah,
Speaker 3: I haven't got my program with me from the Tall
Speaker 3: Black's roster?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Where do I find the team for today? This is
Speaker 3: not the Asia Cup Qualifier?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 3: Tall Blacks Teamless Australia. I didn't realize they would have
Speaker 3: such a quick turnaround. This is only three days ago.
Speaker 3: They're playing Marcus over. Magic pot has several functions including
Speaker 3: pressure cooker, great for peen Ham soup. Forty minutes by
Speaker 3: them at Noel Lemming Classical Lightning Story. I remember the
Speaker 3: first note a new place was making perclated coffie. Little
Speaker 3: I know the stove and it was faulty. It exploded
Speaker 3: just miss my face and sped all of the ceiling,
Speaker 3: which had just been painted Lucky. It missed my face, Marcus.
Speaker 3: My husband bought new hair clippers and asked me to
Speaker 3: cut us here. I rightically agreed. I started the back
Speaker 3: and realized I needed a comb on and had shaved
Speaker 3: a big strip up on the back of the head.
Speaker 3: I put a comb on and carried on. He didn't know,
Speaker 3: and no one told him he had a landing strip.
Speaker 3: Lull ring of washing machines were dangerous. The ring of
Speaker 3: popping up and catching chin that goodness for modern appliances, Marcus.
Speaker 3: In the seventies, the pressure cookers were the most dangerous
Speaker 3: home appliances, usurped by the microwave. In the eighties by
Speaker 3: the microwave lyles. That is, in the eighties, Marcus, the
Speaker 3: most dangerous appliant in the house is the one my
Speaker 3: other heart is using when I give her a bit
Speaker 3: of lip. There's a lot of texts about that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: people don't like anything that volved in. They don't like cruelty.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a bit careful about that. Although
Speaker 3: it does say the mouse of the vecup, it must
Speaker 3: be the call of that. My wife and iron tears
Speaker 3: over it, So there we go. Never know who's going
Speaker 3: to go, do you? I had my very long hair
Speaker 3: go through the Ringer washing machine years ago, hit the
Speaker 3: release button, didn't lose my god and locks dreaded washing
Speaker 3: day in those days. Regards Evon Marcus, My most dangerous
Speaker 3: aplant has been my dishwasher. The handle hadn't worked right,
Speaker 3: and as it had happened before, I thought I will
Speaker 3: fix it again with a twisty tie. So I got
Speaker 3: my trusty screw driver out my weab plastic stool and
Speaker 3: start taking the inside door panel off. That done, then
Speaker 3: went to a temp to fix it. The next thing
Speaker 3: I know, I was throwing off the stool right to
Speaker 3: the back door, my trusty screwdriver totally welded to the motherboard,
Speaker 3: and me wondering what the hell had struck me. There's
Speaker 3: more to this and I'll bring that to you. Back
Speaker 3: to the dishwasher story a little I realized I hadn't
Speaker 3: turned the switch off or pulled the play out as
Speaker 3: it was in the cupboard. I jokeally rang my insurance
Speaker 3: to us, do you pay out on stupidity? Got another
Speaker 3: shock set when they say yes that we do It's
Speaker 3: really taught me though. If I don't take more care
Speaker 3: being missus I can fix anything, I may not be
Speaker 3: here to tell the next story. Great show. Cheers, Joy,
Speaker 3: I'll jump for Joy. Marcus is right about brists getting
Speaker 3: caught in the ringer. I've heard about it many times
Speaker 3: back in the day. Marcus, you're thinking of Margaret Crookshank
Speaker 3: as the first female doctor. She was from y Metty
Speaker 3: memorable memorial statue in Seddin Square. Thank you for that
Speaker 3: two years. It's not someone we celebrate much. The first
Speaker 3: female doctor Cokeochew number five one hundred and four years
Speaker 3: old today and if anyone has an original bottle of
Speaker 3: she at number five, it's worth a bit of bunnet
Speaker 3: bit of money to collect us of perfume and tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Sir David Atton returns ninety nine. Would you go into
Speaker 3: the movie here to see his latest Nature docco When
Speaker 3: I was pregnant on a hot day of Manau to
Speaker 3: burn my big belly with the edge of the iron.
Speaker 3: That's the thirty nine year old memory. Vacuums are bad
Speaker 3: for your back. Radio is dangerous with sleep deprivation. Cindy
Speaker 3: hand one blender eager to taste your bliss ball. Next,
Speaker 3: next minute, your sixty year old daughter's fingers blood and
Speaker 3: the mix and chips of bone for the bonus ingredient.
Speaker 3: Wow ooh, so the sixty year old must have put
Speaker 3: her finger in when she's making it blew up the microwave.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of when I lived in Cororia. I
Speaker 3: was cheating with my mate and put a little paper
Speaker 3: bag of rubbish in the wood burner. When boom, my
Speaker 3: mate got such a fun I didn't realize he was
Speaker 3: an ever ready battery in the bag. Funny. Oh, good evening, Louise.
Speaker 3: It's Marcus. Welcome.
Speaker 24: Oh hi Marcus. Yeah, dangerous appliances. I think the oven
Speaker 24: is the most dangerous for the way. It's just because
Speaker 24: I would bear myself when I cock in the oven.
Speaker 24: I didn't today.
Speaker 3: But well, i'll tell you what can I just Louise,
Speaker 3: a dangerous thing about the oven? Right, if you've got
Speaker 3: an oven mat, it normally only good for you need
Speaker 3: those two You need two of them. Yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 3: I'm always using a tea towel. It's never thick enough.
Speaker 3: And then yeah that's not good.
Speaker 24: Oh well, my hands are deformed from rheumatoids, so I
Speaker 24: can't fasten too an oven glove, so I have to
Speaker 24: sort of hold it, which isn't the best. But anyway,
Speaker 24: something happened today that I cannot explain, and I don't
Speaker 24: lie and I don't exaggerate.
Speaker 25: Now this morning, I.
Speaker 24: Put my porridge on. So I have a gas top
Speaker 24: hob and another elector oven. So I cropped my porridge,
Speaker 24: turned off the ring, turned off the range food, then
Speaker 24: about the business. And it was a smell, a smell
Speaker 24: like something animal, something cooking. Couldn't figure out. And then
Speaker 24: I've seen them played. I look and the oven was
Speaker 24: on the actual oven, and I hadn't used the oven.
Speaker 24: I haven't used it in a few days. So I
Speaker 24: don't understand because you have to turn the knobs to
Speaker 24: nobs to get it going, one for the temperature and
Speaker 24: one for you know, theirmal wave or whatever. And I
Speaker 24: can't till I still can't explained what happened. It's turned
Speaker 24: itself on. I mean, I'm the only human in the house.
Speaker 3: You think it was someone living in the past.
Speaker 24: No, no, no, I just i't my guarding lady here
Speaker 24: at the time.
Speaker 16: I believe this.
Speaker 3: The guarding woman has it snuck in.
Speaker 9: No, no, there was no woman in the kitchen hit
Speaker 9: me and.
Speaker 17: You know I yeah, I just don't know.
Speaker 24: I don't know what happens.
Speaker 3: Maybe someone have some suggestions, Louise, thank you for that.
Speaker 3: By the way, someone said that microwave song it's dire straits.
Speaker 3: You're quite right. Dia straits are like you can't stand
Speaker 3: the song. I mean, diastraates have got some nice songs.
Speaker 3: That one's jarring. It's awful. Mircaus, I put too much
Speaker 3: coffee a plunge. You once poured the boiling water and
Speaker 3: pushed the plunge down quite hard. The glass of the
Speaker 3: plunger shed it. They end up with boiling water all
Speaker 3: over me. Was really painful. I also sliced the skin
Speaker 3: off my finger and using a mandolin to dice onions
Speaker 3: that was revolting. I slive a big scar bled for hours.
Speaker 3: Gilly I fell over the vacuum cleaner pipe, did a
Speaker 3: face plutter and he knocked myself out. Funny way about
Speaker 3: kitchen radio and the mo Yeah, I won't read that anyway.
Speaker 3: Coming up, pumpkin, that is risky. Where's the chainsaw? Marcus
Speaker 3: away in our motor home turned the gas on next butt,
Speaker 3: I could smell something burning. It was our oven glove.
Speaker 3: Don't store them there anymore, chairs, Ay, Jude, Thank you Jude.
Speaker 3: For some reason, the ringing washing machine was a notable cause.
Speaker 3: But electrocuitians in the eighties and nineties, with about one
Speaker 3: or two cases report each year, probably had to do
Speaker 3: with that households having no proper drain. Walter, Oh, Walter's
Speaker 3: in Tonga. Thanks Walter. How's you go? Is your guy
Speaker 3: at the Vatican?
Speaker 2: Walter?
Speaker 3: I've read about that too, somewhere you might have told me. Actually,
Speaker 3: Mackett's Marcus.
Speaker 33: Good evening, Yes, good evening, Marcus. I wed a story
Speaker 33: about a pair of scissors.
Speaker 6: Now, this is.
Speaker 33: When I was about eight or ten years old, and
Speaker 33: younger sister was having a birthday, and there was a
Speaker 33: lot of balloons blowing up around the place, and being
Speaker 33: a bit of a smart alec, thought I'd give her
Speaker 33: a bit of a fright. So I grabbed a kitchen scissors,
Speaker 33: and I opened the bride up to the like a cross,
Speaker 33: and I in my left hand I had the balloon,
Speaker 33: and I stabbed the balloon just behind the back to
Speaker 33: give her a big fight, and the scissors went the
Speaker 33: sharp piece that was one piece sticking it out, went
Speaker 33: through the outside of the balloon with a big bang,
Speaker 33: through the inside of the other side of the balloon,
Speaker 33: straight through the palm of my hand, and out the
Speaker 33: other side there of the the top of my hand.
Speaker 33: So there was a big bang, and then a child
Speaker 33: was with a horrendous scream and blood everywhere. So I
Speaker 33: never did that again.
Speaker 3: Was it hard to extract the scissor from your hand?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 33: I pulled him out.
Speaker 3: Okay, I want it straight away, otherwise you'd be yeah, okay, wow?
Speaker 3: And was that stitches?
Speaker 17: Was that?
Speaker 3: How old were you?
Speaker 33: I was about eight or ten, and that's that's seventy
Speaker 33: five years ago. I made just coming up eighty four now,
Speaker 33: and I still got that start right my hand.
Speaker 3: It went right through your hand.
Speaker 33: Yeah, through the hand and out the other side between
Speaker 33: the sort of bones in the palm of my hand.
Speaker 3: Oh hell, So how how old did that? How old?
Speaker 3: Did that?
Speaker 16: Take?
Speaker 3: The hell mat.
Speaker 18: A while?
Speaker 33: But well it wasn't too bad really. I just carried
Speaker 33: on his life here. But we live way out in
Speaker 33: the country of farm and you know, didn't go into
Speaker 33: the doctor anything from now strives. So there was a
Speaker 33: waste of time. Well, they clean you up with oh
Speaker 33: so bit of deettle and that's something in those days.
Speaker 3: Out of interest met Where were you an hour away
Speaker 3: from town? Uh?
Speaker 33: Out of one and you.
Speaker 3: Tiger country?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 3: You didn't need you didn't need stitches. You didn't get stitches.
Speaker 33: I didn't do home stitches, no, because it was a
Speaker 33: fairly sharp you piece of the sisters. So it just
Speaker 33: punched a big hole through the palm of the hand
Speaker 33: and then back out the other pop them man, the
Speaker 33: other side get healed up.
Speaker 3: And this was at a party, was it that's ruined
Speaker 3: the party?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 33: Yeah, yeah, so it was my sister's birthday party, which
Speaker 33: funnily enough, was just coming up again next week.
Speaker 3: You should redo the trick.
Speaker 33: Yeah, I wouldn't do well, I wouldn't do that trick again.
Speaker 3: Good on you man, I'll see chat with your jokes. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 3: I'm a bit nervous of cheap multiplugs that goes when
Speaker 3: you plug them in. There are some fairly interesting articles
Speaker 3: around about the E day. Well, I'm pretty sure it's today,
Speaker 3: although it's confusing with the Northern hemisphere. On a different timescale,
Speaker 3: and I'll just take a bit of time to acknowledge
Speaker 3: that and read you a bit of what I was
Speaker 3: reading today about that. I'm just going to bring the
Speaker 3: article up, guys. That'll take a while. Twenty seven twenty
Speaker 3: three years in it ahead of Australia by four. That's basketball.
Speaker 3: I don't like the expression tall blacks. I don't like
Speaker 3: any of that black stuff. All blacks is fine. The
Speaker 3: rest of it's sort of overdone. That's just opinion. You
Speaker 3: don't have to agree with me. So this is the article.
Speaker 3: Funny enough, it's in the Daily Mail, but it's captured
Speaker 3: things quite well. After about six years of living in
Speaker 3: mortal fear. The people hardly dare to believe it. It
Speaker 3: was May nineteen forty five, and for weeks they've been
Speaker 3: promised that the war was about to end. But what
Speaker 3: if the news from Germany was promising Allied forces storming
Speaker 3: across the Rhine, Berlin about to fall to the Russians.
Speaker 3: Then Hitler dead as self ministered bullet in his evil brain.
Speaker 3: But what if the Nazis had one last malign trick
Speaker 3: up their sleeves, a suicide onslaught on London. More doodle
Speaker 3: bugs th and V to rockets a blitz to rival
Speaker 3: any of the murderous air raids that had gone before.
Speaker 3: Molly Pedderdown's brilliant chronicler of the Second World War, in
Speaker 3: a series of letters from London for The New Yorker,
Speaker 3: noted this reluctance on the faces of a weary population.
Speaker 3: It's difficult for them to forget that they could be
Speaker 3: under some sort of fire right up to the last minute,
Speaker 3: she wrote, which was why when the official order went
Speaker 3: out that dimmed lights could be turned up again and
Speaker 3: window blackouts taken down, the days of crotchy air raid
Speaker 3: wardens shouting put that light out gone forever. Surprisingly few
Speaker 3: people complied, leaving London as murky as ever. The end
Speaker 3: had been on the cards for a while, but it
Speaker 3: was only at seven forty pm on Monday May seven
Speaker 3: that the BBC had interrupted a piano recital on the
Speaker 3: radio to a officially announced that the war was over
Speaker 3: and that tomorrow, Tuesday, May eight, would be v Day.
Speaker 3: Even on the day that victory was to be declared,
Speaker 3: some had last minute fresh on of fair and early
Speaker 3: morning thunderstorm rocked the capital, so loud and intense that
Speaker 3: London has woken from sleep, instinctively reached out for the
Speaker 3: bedside torch and consider heading for the shelter, before realizing
Speaker 3: it was nature, not Nazis disturbing the rest. They were safe,
Speaker 3: They really were. The party book would begin could begin. Suddenly.
Speaker 3: There were flags everywhere. Selfridge has been doing a roaring
Speaker 3: trade with its twenty five shilling union jacks and streamers
Speaker 3: priced at shevn seven shillings at Woolworth's special commementer of
Speaker 3: v Day Hairslide was a shilling that's you get your
Speaker 3: hands on one. Supplies were running out in queues, the
Speaker 3: wartime curse forming, and not just for bunting, but for bread, meat, fish,
Speaker 3: even alcohol to toast the victory. The war was over,
Speaker 3: but rationally most certainly was not. How's wives stood in
Speaker 3: line with their coupons, carrying the usual string shopping bag
Speaker 3: in one hand and a red, right and blue flag
Speaker 3: in the other. But for one day at least, all
Speaker 3: that could go hang as throughout the country, a relief
Speaker 3: population sang and danced, reveling in the long awaited peace.
Speaker 3: In central London, the streets filled with people determined to
Speaker 3: celebrate on what was a perfect England. Some English summer
Speaker 3: day of sunshine and blue sky, as if fulfilling Virulin's
Speaker 3: poignant and now prophetic wartime promise that we'll meet again,
Speaker 3: don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll
Speaker 3: meet again some sunny day. So there we go, and
Speaker 3: it's the seventh today. Obviously, Marcus. The pressure cooker has
Speaker 3: moved on big time since the aluminium ones. They are
Speaker 3: now fully electronic controlled and most can double as a
Speaker 3: slow cooker in steam operation and cooker chicken plus forty
Speaker 3: five minutes. Same for corned beef croc pop Make one.
Speaker 3: China makes them by the millions after the cook time
Speaker 3: has finished. Have a keep warm function from Jack the Mainlander.
Speaker 3: As a kid, I used it, Marcus, can you see
Speaker 3: if you can find out way? Hillary Barry is not
Speaker 3: on seven sharp lately. It's probably on holiday. Marcus is
Speaker 3: a kid. I used an oven tray as a dinky
Speaker 3: rap to do jumps. I climbed my wardrobe one night,
Speaker 3: then landed side onto the oven tray. I had to
Speaker 3: go to hospital for modile stitches. I learned as a
Speaker 3: kid oven trays were not good improvisation for playing with
Speaker 3: Marcus in the kitchen. We used to bacon, slice the
Speaker 3: catcumra chips with the machine turn off. The other chef
Speaker 3: would do it with it turned on, thinking he was
Speaker 3: smart one day with Alexant invoving part of his finger.
Speaker 3: Does make sense that google sideline vating toasters nineteen fifty
Speaker 3: Some could eat bread with the side open, highly dangerous.
Speaker 3: Don't need to google them. We had them. I think
Speaker 3: they're a better toaster. You're more in control. Come on
Speaker 3: here to the end. You might want to talk about
Speaker 3: victory in Europe Day also, which is today, eighty years ago.
Speaker 3: They are celebrating that. I guess it is something you
Speaker 3: would celebrate. The streets rang with endless song and prompture
Speaker 3: and prompture edition to roll out the barrel, knees up
Speaker 3: mother brown, and conga lines formed. Nothing says celebration like
Speaker 3: a conga line. Do good evening came? It's Marcus, welcome, good, Hey,
Speaker 3: how are good? Can what's happening with you?
Speaker 27: Well?
Speaker 25: I was on my way to a football and I
Speaker 25: heard you guys talking about dangerous appliance on the way
Speaker 25: where h oh ages ago.
Speaker 2: It was many.
Speaker 25: I didn't think you'd get so much mileage out of this.
Speaker 3: Ah, are you talking about three hours ago, I thought,
Speaker 3: who's going to the football this time of night?
Speaker 25: Oh no, it's a bit of training. Went to some
Speaker 25: training and then yeah, the training, did all sorts of things,
Speaker 25: and then when a lot about it, sorry and yeah,
Speaker 25: and then hop back in my car and then guys
Speaker 25: are still talking about and it's like, oh, wow, you
Speaker 25: got some good mileage out of that.
Speaker 3: I think you learned in this business. If it's going strong,
Speaker 3: a stick with it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you might as well.
Speaker 25: I just wondered. I thought it might have a slightly
Speaker 25: different angle on it as a little, a little what
Speaker 25: do you call it appetizer? I know it's not an appliance,
Speaker 25: but has anyone approached the angle of not so much
Speaker 25: the appliance but human interaction with it? So I know
Speaker 25: it's not an appliance, but probably one of the most
Speaker 25: dangerous things is the step.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, step or the rug?
Speaker 32: Yep.
Speaker 3: I would say, so you.
Speaker 25: Trip over a rug, you know, the step, But that's
Speaker 25: got age connotations. But the first thing I thought when
Speaker 25: I heard you say it was the frying pan, because
Speaker 25: because people misuse it, you know, alcohol is involved.
Speaker 3: You mean to fry, don't drink and fry. That was
Speaker 3: always the campaign for a while.
Speaker 25: Yeah, but then there's also different ways of looking at it,
Speaker 25: Like you've got I heard the guy call in about
Speaker 25: deliberately sticking things into the bar heater to get it
Speaker 25: to get through it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well he'd be hard to parent.
Speaker 25: Classic and still yeah into the three all of whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but who do you play football for cam.
Speaker 25: At the moment, I'm sort of bouncing around between clubs
Speaker 25: getting old year.
Speaker 3: But you still practice. You've practiced tonight, have you?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 25: No, I'm injured at the moment.
Speaker 3: You said you're after practice Earlier.
Speaker 25: I did go to practice but just got a bit
Speaker 25: of physio and.
Speaker 3: Then uh yeah, okay, you said quite low energy for
Speaker 3: a footballer, but good on you. Heather. Hi, Hi, Heather.
Speaker 34: I was just sitting down in the lounge and I
Speaker 34: heard just speaks boom. I thought, gosh, something's exploded somewhere
Speaker 34: in the house, probably an hour ago. And I walked
Speaker 34: down and my shower door had exploded.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I've heard of this.
Speaker 32: It was.
Speaker 34: It was horrendous. I got something driven into the side
Speaker 34: of my house and I walked down there and I thought,
Speaker 34: oh god, it was like it was in a gazillion
Speaker 34: little bit.
Speaker 3: Now, I don't know why that happens, but I've heard
Speaker 3: of it. Are they done under tension or something?
Speaker 34: Well, it was the actual door and I something's just
Speaker 34: making another noise there, and I rang up my sister
Speaker 34: and she said, apparently it's quite common.
Speaker 10: Yes, I think so too, but man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 34: It made a bloody mess. And because you got to
Speaker 34: scrape it all up and these even though it's safety glasses,
Speaker 34: it's still a few splinters there. And of course my
Speaker 34: four old cat didn't know what had happened, and she
Speaker 34: tried to get out of the house and I had
Speaker 34: to try and help there. And because the glass came
Speaker 34: out of the bathroom down the hall, and so it's
Speaker 34: taken it's taken over an hour, a couple of hours
Speaker 34: actually to clean it all up.
Speaker 2: And get it.
Speaker 3: So heither what part of the country are you in Auckland,
Speaker 3: Because it's not like some people say that an extreme
Speaker 3: temperature change can cause something like that, but that wouldn't
Speaker 3: have happened with it.
Speaker 34: No, No, I just like I was actually thinking of
Speaker 34: having a shower about eight o'clock and and I thought
Speaker 34: because it had happened to my sister and her house
Speaker 34: years ago, or that was up north and long array,
Speaker 34: but it was it was pretty damn loud.
Speaker 3: And and nothing's happened at recently. Hasn't it a chip
Speaker 3: or anything that could have led to an explosion?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 34: Absolutely, I have a shower and I squeeze it down.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean the real blessing is that you weren't in it,
Speaker 3: because that could have been quite dangerous.
Speaker 34: Yeah, well, it all it went, It blew out, so
Speaker 34: nothing's there. Might be just a little scrape somewhere, but
Speaker 34: on the whole it's you know, I can't Tomorrow morning,
Speaker 34: I'll probably when it's sunlight, I'll probably see something. But
Speaker 34: at the moment, it was all right.
Speaker 9: It gave me quite a quite That sounds.
Speaker 3: Really, that sounds really frightening. That sounds really frightening because
Speaker 3: it must be a loud smash. Then the tinking of.
Speaker 27: All the glass, Well, no, it was just a boom.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 34: It was like a gas bottle exploding. Not that I've
Speaker 34: heard a gas bottle explode, but I've heard them on TV.
Speaker 3: And the weird thing is it's totally spontaneous. You would
Speaker 3: nowhere near there were you it just bang. It just
Speaker 3: decided to go.
Speaker 34: I was just sitting here watching TV and I thought
Speaker 34: I had I thought it was a picture frame falling
Speaker 34: off and breaking, but then I thought it's.
Speaker 5: A bit louder than that.
Speaker 10: So no, it's.
Speaker 34: Luckily I've got this little thing that goes on my
Speaker 34: vacuum that it can suck up the stuff into a
Speaker 34: container instead of going into your bag.
Speaker 3: It's a good point. He Look, we'll see, we'll see
Speaker 3: if anyone else has got any You'll get there. You'll
Speaker 3: get the insurance. You get it fixed pretty soon.
Speaker 2: Will you.
Speaker 34: I'll just go get a new door. I mean, I
Speaker 34: won't worry about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, well, well someone has some reasons. I have
Speaker 3: heard it happened quite often too. But yeah, I'm very
Speaker 3: pleased to were injured. But thanks for that.

Speaker 5: the UK. Yes, I remember it came. The announcement was
Speaker 5: early evening because I was in my my I was
Speaker 5: years old. I was in my night and I remember
Speaker 5: dancing down the lane in the celebration. Anybody came out

Speaker 3: don't know if you heard me read the article before,
Speaker 3: but it did say that they had interrupted a classical
Speaker 3: performance of music on the BBC to announce that the
Speaker 3: war had finished. Because I think people were skeptical as
Speaker 3: to whether there was going to be some last rah
Speaker 3: from the Germans, some last bomblitz on London or something.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that seems to be it, it said. At
Speaker 3: seven on Monday, the BBC interrupted piano recital on the
