Speaker 2: eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two text if
Speaker 2: you do want to come through, But if there's anything
Speaker 2: else that happens. I will keep you updated with that.

Speaker 2: to go. But do get in touch you want to
Speaker 2: be a part of the show, as I say, Oh
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two to text.
Speaker 2: Been some good topics this week. Have been some shows
Speaker 2: that have been re enjoyable. Jewels and self checkout everyone's
Speaker 2: gone quiet on the Cowbells, although it's sold out quite
Speaker 2: quickly even see someone said that the chief when that
Speaker 2: the Chiefs when that there should be an esterex by
Speaker 2: their name because of the way they got to the
Speaker 2: final thought there was a bit mean spirited your play
Speaker 2: according to the rules of the tournament. That and a
Speaker 2: winner as a wonder if they've won by the rules,
Speaker 2: they won fairly anyway, So I'll probably give the old
Speaker 2: cow Bells a bit of a quiet break tonight. Thought
Speaker 2: we covered that pretty well last night. Actually, if I
Speaker 2: do get in touch, you want to talk eight eight
Speaker 2: eight text, I shall start the night with a question.
Speaker 2: It's a question that might require a bit of thinking,
Speaker 2: but I think it's a good topic and I'll certainly
Speaker 2: be quite happy to answer it. And I've got a
Speaker 2: lot to say about it. So the question for tonight
Speaker 2: to kick us off for a starter for ten, give
Speaker 2: us a think about this. It could be quite fun.
Speaker 2: Let us and ring through and let me know what
Speaker 2: is What is the most borede you've ever been? Do
Speaker 2: you ever think about that? And let me know the
Speaker 2: most bored you've ever been? I can think of three incidences,
Speaker 2: and actually just walking away from the mIRC to shut
Speaker 2: the door. Actually, when I think about it, I think
Speaker 2: back to my childhood and don't be to consider not
Speaker 2: going on a deep regress about my childhood. However, I
Speaker 2: would say that there were long lengths of my childhood
Speaker 2: where I went to things where I was unbelievably bored
Speaker 2: and bored to the point of thinking I could no
Speaker 2: longer much go on with it. That's how boring some
Speaker 2: of those things were. There's a child, You're at something,
Speaker 2: I think, jeepest creeps, it must be finished now, and
Speaker 2: you find you about a third of the way through
Speaker 2: long trips, movies, meetings, all that sort of stuff. And
Speaker 2: my own children don't say to be bored at all,
Speaker 2: which tear like, why are you bored? Why can you
Speaker 2: sit through this? Anyway? So my question to you is
Speaker 2: that the most borge you've ever been. Have a think
Speaker 2: about that. Give me a holler or text. Either is fine,
Speaker 2: but mainly the calls is what I like the most,
Speaker 2: And the phone calls and the texts are fine. Oh
Speaker 2: eight hundred eighty thirty nine two nine two to text
Speaker 2: the most borge you've ever been. And I think you
Speaker 2: have some good answers to this, I hope, because I
Speaker 2: certainly got some good things to say. Oh eight hundred
Speaker 2: eighty thirty nine two nine two to text the most

Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: But the plane there being diverted and who knows where
Speaker 3: it's going end up. You know, it's a it's a
Speaker 3: bit of a minor worry.
Speaker 2: Goose to call from overseas if you could like to
Speaker 2: hear from you, Donna Marcus, welcome, Hella.
Speaker 5: Marcus talking about being bored. A friend of mine was
Speaker 5: getting married many many years ago now, and we're very
Speaker 5: excited because obviously girls going to weddings, and after an
Speaker 5: hour and a half of the Greek Orthodox, the whole
Speaker 5: thing grew the Greek and there's only so much of
Speaker 5: the tabernacle or over the course and everybody's clothes that
Speaker 5: you can look at, and it's finished after three hours.
Speaker 5: I wanted to show off my.
Speaker 2: Arm cheapest did you get to smash the plates?
Speaker 5: So it went on for so long that by the
Speaker 5: time we got to the reception, I had to get
Speaker 5: back because my father was babysitting my daughter and he
Speaker 5: had thought that we'd all died somewhere because they'd been
Speaker 5: gone for so long. So I didn't even get to
Speaker 5: get the dinner.
Speaker 2: It's a long wedding. Donna, thanks so much that sixteen
Speaker 2: past eight.
Speaker 1: Your trusted late time Talk Marcus last night's call eight
Speaker 1: News Talk said he.
Speaker 2: Those sounds smuggle pass. I think I could ever be
Speaker 2: bored at a wedding or at a church brought a funeral, actually,
Speaker 2: for they always found them quite interesting with the long
Speaker 2: one Sundra Marcus.
Speaker 6: Welcome, Oh, good evening. Marcus. Here, I agree with you.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 6: I could never get bored at those events. But one
Speaker 6: movie that I was completely bored when at Feast came
Speaker 6: out to the point that I had.
Speaker 7: To walk out. I was so bored.
Speaker 8: And since the end, it was quite a few years ago,
Speaker 8: many years ago actually, and since then it's played a
Speaker 8: few times on the television and I'll sat down with
Speaker 8: the intent of watching it so that I know what
Speaker 8: the movie it's about. But I've fallen the sleep.
Speaker 6: Goodness, are you there?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I thought you're gonna have the big reveal. What's the
Speaker 2: movie Apocalypse Now? I don't think it was too bad.
Speaker 2: There's worse, Jared, It's Marcus.
Speaker 10: Good evening, Good evening, Marcus. First of all, Apocalypse Now
Speaker 10: isn't a boring film. It's a masterpiece.
Speaker 2: I thought so too. I watched it in strange circumstances
Speaker 2: at someone's place in a small room, and it was weird.
Speaker 2: But anyway, that's a story for another day. I think
Speaker 2: it was in VHS's had first come out. We went
Speaker 2: down around to at Mats place to work, and the
Speaker 2: whole family was there. Anyway.
Speaker 10: First of all, this is a fantastic question, and I
Speaker 10: think we'll get a lot of great answers.
Speaker 2: A super topic, it might be a super topic. It is.
Speaker 10: It's that macro sort of way how we feel doing
Speaker 10: things and that, and yes, when you think about it
Speaker 10: for long enough you can have a very substantial answer.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 10: Alfred Hitchcock once said that drama is a life with
Speaker 10: all the boring parts left out, and to me that
Speaker 10: says we need to feel bored, because otherwise we wouldn't
Speaker 10: have any contrast between started or interested and the most
Speaker 10: bored I've ever felt. And that's a very good point
Speaker 10: about watching a boring movie or something like that, but
Speaker 10: that's one particular experience. The most board I've ever felt
Speaker 10: was when I was forced to read books that I
Speaker 10: had no interest in reading. I'm not a fan of
Speaker 10: English literature. I love reading. I'll read all about the
Speaker 10: Second World War, about cars, about history, space exploration. But
Speaker 10: when I was forced at university and school to read
Speaker 10: books that I really didn't care for, it could take you,
Speaker 10: depending on how much time you've got, it could take
Speaker 10: you weeks to have to painfully go through being bored
Speaker 10: reading a book, and it takes a very long time.
Speaker 2: What was the book that bought you the most? Because
Speaker 2: I've always found books, I mean, if you're studying on English,
Speaker 2: they're normally of a fairy high caliber, aren't they?
Speaker 11: They are?
Speaker 10: And I understand the appeal it would have to some things.
Speaker 10: But I could not get into Virginia Wolf. I could
Speaker 10: not get into Jane Eyre. It just really isn't my thing.
Speaker 2: And wonder why you were studying it?
Speaker 10: Well, it was part of the English course. I studied
Speaker 10: to be a journalist and that was part of the
Speaker 10: currica for some reason. You know, they have to pad
Speaker 10: it out somehow.
Speaker 2: And I always though Janie was a bit of a
Speaker 2: was a good read. But thank you, Jared, Sarah Marcus welcome.
Speaker 2: Oh hi, sorry, Sarah, you're welcome.
Speaker 12: Welcome?
Speaker 2: Well all right, Hi, Hi, I was Sarah. I'd hate
Speaker 2: to be called Sarah. I like Sarah. I don't mind Sarah,
Speaker 2: but Sarah is better.
Speaker 13: I thank you. Yeah, I always get Sarah, and I
Speaker 13: always correct everyone straight away. Otherwise they keep calling Sarah. Anyway,
Speaker 13: I had got something in my hands that I've had
Speaker 13: for a little while that I thought it's actually funny.
Speaker 13: As soon as I saw it, I thought of you,
Speaker 13: And for me, I think it sort of merges into
Speaker 13: what we're talking about tonight of boredom, because I think
Speaker 13: I would be quite bored listening to this. But it
Speaker 13: is a vinyl a power of steam, historic sounds of
Speaker 13: locomotives in the North Island of New Zealand, fare well,
Speaker 13: because I remembered you did that TV program But what
Speaker 13: was it? The trains?
Speaker 2: The trains? The train? Has it got tunnels? And has
Speaker 2: it got horned?
Speaker 13: Mate? Yeah, it's got all sorts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I quite like.
Speaker 13: Yeah, off the air, I'll probably read reads some of
Speaker 13: this to you. You look, it would bore everyone else
Speaker 13: lost thing, but like to just to say a couple
Speaker 13: and you've probably done all through this area. But teatle ha,
Speaker 13: there's waititoa to the outskirts of Moransball passing. Yeah, honestly,
Speaker 13: I think you think you're going to love this, But again,
Speaker 13: I think I would be really bored owning this, So
Speaker 13: I'll drop it off to.
Speaker 2: Wherever at I don't want to. I haven't got a turntable,
Speaker 2: don't you know?
Speaker 14: Really?
Speaker 13: No, okay, this is leading into another question. Then why
Speaker 13: why wouldn't you have a turntable?
Speaker 2: Come on, I went to Yeah, I know the jeepest creepers.
Speaker 2: You know, got houses full of kids and stuff. There's
Speaker 2: not a lot of room.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well that's true. Yeah, yeah, I've got a house
Speaker 13: full of kids and stuff. Yeah, okay, I need to
Speaker 13: seem Okay, well then I'll take it photo and I'll tell.
Speaker 2: You what I have heard these records in the past.
Speaker 2: The old man used to wake us up playing one
Speaker 2: of those in the morning on holiday. But they were
Speaker 2: very well recorded. There were the r n Z you
Speaker 2: know that the people with the proper with the proper
Speaker 2: materials sitting on the so they're extremely well recorded. Those albums.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I was trying to look at the It doesn't
Speaker 13: say the year that it was actually done, but it's
Speaker 13: it's by KEEI Records, by a h Yeah yeahs of
Speaker 13: New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Where did you get it?
Speaker 13: I've given it a whole bunch of vinyl. My husband's
Speaker 13: dad passed, oh about fifteen twenty years ago, and when
Speaker 13: his mum moved on, she found or she's in.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Anyway, they renovated the house and I found an old
Speaker 13: box and it was all that sort of stuff and yeah,
Speaker 13: it's it's actually quite cool to listen to, I must say,
Speaker 13: but it's not really something that i'd keep in my collection.
Speaker 2: I think it's probably good to go to sleep too
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 12: What really?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, soothing? Oh you want to try it, Sarah?
Speaker 2: Thank you. I don't want to look at gift tours
Speaker 2: in the mouth. I'm sorry I can't take off your hands.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you sat down on trade with forty bucks.
Speaker 2: Having to read Waiting for God on the seventh for
Speaker 2: eighty two was bro I saw the play of Waiting
Speaker 2: for God. It was a hard watch. Marcus. I got
Speaker 2: reshed to hospital due to a potential life threatening in finction.
Speaker 2: They told me had to stay at night for monitoring.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a better stay, so no speak, closed nice snacks,
Speaker 2: no TV room, and got locked in because of COVID concerns.
Speaker 2: What's worse as my phone ran out of battery half

Speaker 2: for ten weeks, I still very tough. Then I distant
Speaker 2: to note at the hospital in my twenty so I

Speaker 14: I'd say that'd be it. And just on the trains.
Speaker 14: If they ever put the Kingston Flyer and doing the
Speaker 14: trans Alpine over from crostious Gramma, I think I'd jump
Speaker 14: on board behind the Kingston Flyer.
Speaker 17: I'd love to do that.
Speaker 9: It'd be awsome.
Speaker 2: How would they get it there?
Speaker 14: I don't know, mate, but you know, just just to
Speaker 14: be on a steam train going doing the Transalpine Express
Speaker 14: railway trip would be just beautiful. I reckon just beautiful.
Speaker 2: The Trans Alpine's boring enough as it is without it
Speaker 2: being even longer. As they fed around with a steam train.
Speaker 2: It takes forever. What a long day?
Speaker 18: Then?
Speaker 2: Is there and back?
Speaker 9: Well?

Speaker 2: It's a long day to go all the way from
Speaker 2: christ Chips to Graymouth on all the way back in

Speaker 14: I've ever v makers coming out of left field. So
Speaker 14: when I first got put into the Mount Eden ramand
Speaker 14: Center during COVID, they weren't allowed to put me off anyone.
Speaker 14: There was no TV. Wow, there was no box. All
Speaker 14: I was giving was a piece of a piece of
Speaker 14: paper and some pencil and for three weeks. Not only
Speaker 14: was I shaned out and not you know and guilty
Speaker 14: and all that, but to be bored for three weeks
Speaker 14: and you're allowed that I was allowed out for twenty
Speaker 14: minute walk each day.
Speaker 2: I want to dig a bit deep into this dere
Speaker 2: When you say mounten Raman, that's not the old prison,
Speaker 2: that's the new high it.
Speaker 14: No, no, not cold, it's nah, no, not cold, it's
Speaker 14: not the new one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you have a view?
Speaker 14: You could look at it a little we rectangles to
Speaker 14: speaks square on the door so the other you know,
Speaker 14: to look at other cells.
Speaker 12: But you know.
Speaker 2: You now you drive by it on the motorway, you
Speaker 2: can't see it. So how long were in remand for?
Speaker 14: Well before they put me into a room with it
Speaker 14: was before they managed to find a TV that worked. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 14: I was just by myself like two and a half
Speaker 14: three weeks and it was it was crazy. It was yeah,
Speaker 14: that was boredom and just.
Speaker 2: A peen in a pencil a piece of paper.

Speaker 4: A.
Speaker 2: Pean of a pencil.
Speaker 14: No, it was a pencil, No pens and with.
Speaker 2: A pencil sharpener.
Speaker 14: Now you get to shapen it on the ground or something.
Speaker 2: Really, so what did you do?
Speaker 18: How much?
Speaker 2: How many sheets of paper?
Speaker 14: Just you know, just as much as you wanted. But
Speaker 14: you know, the pencil was about two inches long. Yeah,
Speaker 14: so it keeps stepping the lead.
Speaker 19: So I gave up.
Speaker 2: Could you talk? Could you talk to people in neighboring cells?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 14: No, you could hear them. I could hear the other ones.
Speaker 14: The ones either side of me had a TV, so
Speaker 14: I could hear them. Yeah, but they couldn't find a
Speaker 14: TV for me. And that was the most bored. It
Speaker 14: was two and a half three weeks of that. That
Speaker 14: was just bad. The only excitement was listening to the
Speaker 14: water running the shower now and again.
Speaker 2: And you with your twenty minutes did you do star
Speaker 2: jumps or press ups or you just sort of walk around?
Speaker 14: I just sat there, sat out in the set there,
Speaker 14: trying to look for to see a pigeon or something
Speaker 14: fly by.
Speaker 2: Sound bored? How many hours? How many hours could you sleep?
Speaker 20: Well, you know, you try and sleep, you trying to
Speaker 20: board them away, but then after a while you just
Speaker 20: sleep so much and then you're just you're just awake,
Speaker 20: you know, and then you use track of time, you know,
Speaker 20: you wake up, you wake up the middle of the
Speaker 20: night and said, well, what time is it?
Speaker 14: Like, I've got nothing to what's the time?
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 14: I don't know if it's daylight or dark.
Speaker 2: Or what, you know, But anyway, it does sound excruciating.
Speaker 14: Oh mate, it was bad. It was really bad.
Speaker 2: How good was TV? How good was TV? When you
Speaker 2: got it?
Speaker 19: Oh?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I was just like the Hilton Hoste ALBUMTE was
Speaker 14: like being there, you know. And then when they propped
Speaker 14: me in a room of someone else, well, they weren't
Speaker 14: bored anymore, mate, They just said to listen to.
Speaker 2: Me, brilliant. It's good call, Derek, Thank you. Twenty four
Speaker 2: away from nine, the most bored You've ever been? I
Speaker 2: developed restless league, sending over from doing boring office jobs.
Speaker 2: Maths class at schooled torture. I struggle with the basics,
Speaker 2: and when it got complicated, was a complete waste of life.

Speaker 2: Meditated, You've always got that chance for Lavanni. He's not

Speaker 21: And then you can go to anywhere you like and
Speaker 21: get lots of entertainment. So the guy behind the computer
Speaker 21: at the counter, he was looking around the edge of
Speaker 21: the computer at me, and because I wasn't moving and
Speaker 21: I had my eyes shut, he thought I'd died. Wow, wow,
Speaker 21: And he emailed a doctor to come quick and have
Speaker 21: a look at me right over. Came right over and whispered,
Speaker 21: are you And I opened my eyes and I said,
Speaker 21: here the problem. I'm just meditating, and they all lapped.
Speaker 21: He still wasn't sure I was okay, and go behind
Speaker 21: the computer. He never heard of meditating, obviously. But anyway,
Speaker 21: I've been watching this program on Taley and about this

Speaker 21: suit on, and he still got stung between the cheek
Speaker 21: right through the suit into there, and you should have
Speaker 21: seen them move in the plane. And then he put
Speaker 21: all these hives in his car, and of course the

Speaker 2: thank you. See what you did there? People trying to
Speaker 2: mix it up a little bit. Na, It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 18: Oh hi Marcus. I've got a story about being very bored.
Speaker 18: I was working as a nurse. I went over to
Speaker 18: work in Sydney as a nurse nineteen ninety five, ninety six,
Speaker 18: and I was being paid the most I'd ever been
Speaker 18: paid then, which is twenty four bucks an hour in
Speaker 18: ninety five, and they sent me to this hospital. This
Speaker 18: young man had had a very bad motor they called creesh,
Speaker 18: but he'd recovered. Really, his family were so rich, so
Speaker 18: even though with an enormal muskit at water at his
Speaker 18: own room, and I just had to sit there for
Speaker 18: twelve hours, there was nothing to do for him. Honestly
Speaker 18: needed nothing done. There were no phones. I didn't think
Speaker 18: to take a book. I sat there for twelve hours.
Speaker 18: I might have checked his caretheter, but that was it.
Speaker 22: And it was really boring.
Speaker 18: And when his family came and they sort of looked
Speaker 18: at me as if I should be doing something, but
Speaker 18: there was actually nothing to do, and he didn't speak
Speaker 18: eng and it was just ridiculously boring. Man, I was
Speaker 18: being paid, but it wasn't worth it. I wanted to
Speaker 18: walk out, but I couldn't.
Speaker 2: Did you just do it for one day?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 18: I think I did it a couple of different days
Speaker 18: because I was working for an agency, so they made
Speaker 18: a different hospitals. This was Royal Milkshow Hospital, and I
Speaker 18: remember another time in the same hospital or rich family. Again,
Speaker 18: it was very nice of the rich family, but their
Speaker 18: mum was in the hospital, right, so they were rich.
Speaker 18: So there's the normal nurses on the ward. Then this
Speaker 18: old lady, the lovely family decided she needed her own
Speaker 18: private nurse to the night. This lady was there's nothing
Speaker 18: wrong with that. She was recovering. I bet it for
Speaker 18: forteen hours, wow, until I decided to leave. And then
Speaker 18: I got some feedback that the FAMI would have rather
Speaker 18: stayed until the next nurse to arrive. But the next
Speaker 18: rooster than the right forteen hours.
Speaker 2: No book, I guess it's the downside of news and listen,
Speaker 2: it can be quite boring.
Speaker 18: Well perhaps of it. I mean, I'm not bored now,
Speaker 18: and but the end my job now. But I look
Speaker 18: back on that and honestly, I mean it was. It
Speaker 18: was boring as hell.
Speaker 2: What what should have you done to make it more interesting?
Speaker 18: Well, okay, reflecting back now, take stuff with me to do.
Speaker 18: But you know, I just didn't really know what I was,
Speaker 18: you know, going to Like they would send me places
Speaker 18: and sometimes I'd be sent to a board where I
Speaker 18: had to work as a nurse, Like I was an
Speaker 18: extra nurse, and I was actually working. But no, I remember,
Speaker 18: there's most boring, boring sitting there and honestly, some health
Speaker 18: care workers still.
Speaker 4: Have to do that.
Speaker 6: But you never get a nurse to do that anymore.
Speaker 18: You get a healthcare assistant and they get bored as hell.
Speaker 18: They tell me there's sometimes they have to sit in
Speaker 18: and then hospital and watch someone who's maybe a bit
Speaker 18: a bit, you know, dementia or something.
Speaker 2: What's the people do that now called they're.
Speaker 18: Called health care assistance, so they won't be paying a
Speaker 18: registered nurse rate for someone to just watch someone. But
Speaker 18: that's boring, boring, boring job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you care that you need a needlework or
Speaker 2: something to do, to sit there and do some hobby.
Speaker 17: I would, but it was just like I sort of
Speaker 17: didn't think.
Speaker 18: I thought I was going to a nursing job. It
Speaker 18: was like, I mean, if I could go back in time,
Speaker 18: you i'd take something to do.
Speaker 2: Where was the flesh hospital? Where was the Where in
Speaker 2: Sydney was the hospital.
Speaker 18: That was called Royal north Shore Hospital. It was a
Speaker 18: big hospital. Yeah, but you know I had to go
Speaker 18: on the train. You know, I didn't have a car.
Speaker 18: So I mean, once it was there, it was there.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 18: I don't even remember having a break. I must have
Speaker 18: gone a little toilet.
Speaker 2: It's funny how the healthcare system works. We can put
Speaker 2: a private news inside a public I don't quite understand that.
Speaker 2: But did the other nurses come and check out?
Speaker 18: It was the other nessis didn't need to check before.
Speaker 18: I think what it was was that the family was
Speaker 18: so wretched that they I was working for an agency.
Speaker 18: So yeah, there's been the private news, a private news
Speaker 18: to a public hospital.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 18: I don't know if rich families would do that in
Speaker 18: New Zealand. Will never clue. Hell did you last in
Speaker 18: Sydney for I was actually pretting this at the time,
Speaker 18: So I come back to it's a baby.

Speaker 2: We're all quite I quite like wandering around the airport's
Speaker 2: that side for hours. I quite enjoy that going look
Speaker 2: at the giant tobal ron, at the Judy Free Shot.
Speaker 2: Wandering you're always quite like that.
Speaker 12: But yeah, well, a duty free shop was closed.
Speaker 2: I see.
Speaker 12: That age and there was there was there was I
Speaker 12: think there was a bar there. I think I went
Speaker 12: and had a bear, I mean, came back out and
Speaker 12: I bought. I bought. There was a little shop there,
Speaker 12: and I bought a couple of magazines and read them.
Speaker 12: But six hours lot, I felt like bloody six hours
Speaker 12: of bloody hell.
Speaker 2: You should have you should have hooked into duty free vodka.
Speaker 12: Yeah, well I don't know about it. No, I know
Speaker 12: the main duty free shot was closed.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, I should have gone.
Speaker 12: If Biden rh what was going on, I would have
Speaker 12: gone and got a bottle of bourbon.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 12: That's it. I could have had a few bourbons in there.
Speaker 2: That about the six hours disappeared. A couple of mentions
Speaker 2: of bourbon. The last couple of nights seems to be
Speaker 2: the drink of choice. Get in touch, the most bored.
Speaker 2: You've ever been? So bored, Marcus, I was so bored.
Speaker 2: A lot of it seems to happen at m i Q. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was boring for people wandering around that, you know
Speaker 2: that walking laps outside in the fenced off area.
Speaker 16: Godness, twelve hours turning envelopes the right way around at
Speaker 16: the post office is one way.
Speaker 2: I just told missus stories. Why twelve hours.
Speaker 16: Though, twelve hour shift?
Speaker 2: Didn't you ever, Udium, Yeah, we did.
Speaker 16: But we like the union because they've got us all
Speaker 16: night shift rates and double time and all that sort
Speaker 16: of stuff.
Speaker 2: Asleep on the secks, wouldn't you.
Speaker 16: Well, sometimes you could actually get away with doing that,
Speaker 16: but it was a pretty excruciating shift, just sitting on
Speaker 16: the face up table, tough, tough. While we were turning
Speaker 16: in the envelopes over they had to go and through
Speaker 16: the franking machine the right way around, so back in
Speaker 16: those days. You know, if you really got super board
Speaker 16: and you didn't want to do it, you found it.
Speaker 16: You know, had those motel keys. You used to have
Speaker 16: the return address on them and you could they'd send
Speaker 16: them back to the motor used to get one of
Speaker 16: those and put it in the letters and when it
Speaker 16: went through the machine, it would stop. They had to
Speaker 16: get a little guy from down in the bowels of
Speaker 16: the central post Office to come because no one else could.
Speaker 15: So that was a break.
Speaker 16: But yeah, it was a pretty tough night.
Speaker 2: Do you think there was a sunset industry turning out hard? Exactly? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have thought so. So you think there was.
Speaker 2: They took the post very seriously, didn't they. It was
Speaker 2: almost sort of like you're interfeed with the post. It
Speaker 2: was like treason exactly.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did take it very seriously, and not that
Speaker 2: you did, but they would have. They would have themselves, the.
Speaker 16: Actual serious post office workers.
Speaker 2: Okay, Tony, thank you. Twenty seven away from ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: My name is Marcus.
Speaker 4: Welcome, good evening, Gareth good evening, Marcus, how are you good?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 27: Gareth good good.
Speaker 18: Hey.
Speaker 4: First of all, I just wanted to say thank you
Speaker 4: so much for doing your show. I don't think many
Speaker 4: people say that. I think you've saved some boredom from
Speaker 4: me when I was the first time dad and walking
Speaker 4: up and down those corridors at night and thinking what
Speaker 4: am I going to do to try to give this
Speaker 4: baby asleep?
Speaker 9: Hang on?
Speaker 2: Hang on, Gareth? What corridors?
Speaker 4: Just my home corridors trying to my young one to sleep?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, it's quite a hard thing to do
Speaker 2: to get the baby to sleep. You got the mother
Speaker 2: that's strung out. You're got to get the baby to sleep,
Speaker 2: and there's no rhyme or reason.
Speaker 4: Yep, and you're in the pitch black, and you know what.
Speaker 4: I was losing my santas at you back in the day,
Speaker 4: and then suddenly I found you.
Speaker 2: And then you're putting the baby down. It's like dropping
Speaker 2: a bowl, isn't it, Because you think it's going to
Speaker 2: be about just as though you drop it, it's going
Speaker 2: to wake up and you're gonna have to start the
Speaker 2: whole thing again. Oh you missed those days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, anyway, I've got to the first job I
Speaker 4: had was I was a kitchen hand and I used
Speaker 4: to stand there playing hundreds of potatoes and carrots, and
Speaker 4: by the end of it, I felt like I was
Speaker 4: a big potato. I felt like I was a big carrot.
Speaker 4: All I could see when I used to sleep is
Speaker 4: potatoes and carrots. And I don't know how kitchen hands
Speaker 4: do it nowadays. There must be machines or something.
Speaker 19: They must do it nowadays.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I used to get so bored.
Speaker 2: What a pretty big kitchen to be doing that many potatoes.
Speaker 4: Honestly, it was a battailing restaurant down in East Auckland
Speaker 4: and it was just well, you can imagine our potato
Speaker 4: and yoki there was all these different potato.
Speaker 2: I forgot about the nokie too, Gareth. Of course you'd
Speaker 2: be having a lot of potatoes on a noki.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I hated it anyway.
Speaker 4: Another one which I haven't heard yet is I used
Speaker 4: to be a checkout operator when I was a teenager,
Speaker 4: and that is honestly the most boring job I have
Speaker 4: ever been in. You're standing there, my numb thinking about
Speaker 4: these beats that are going in the back your head,
Speaker 4: and then suddenly, to make it worse, at Christmas time,
Speaker 4: they've got the Christmas music on loop and you, honestly
Speaker 4: you black out, and in some cases you have to
Speaker 4: try and find ways to onboard yourself, right, And so
Speaker 4: you'll be playing games with yourself and being like, Okay,
Speaker 4: how much money is this person gonna obviously like spend.
Speaker 4: You know, you'll be talking about how was your day,
Speaker 4: and most of the people coming through check out, they
Speaker 4: don't really want to talk to you, and so you're
Speaker 4: just standing there mind them, hearing these beeps, and well,
Speaker 4: six hour shift can sometimes last like a twenty hour
Speaker 4: shift in like.
Speaker 2: Way with the six hours, was there a break that?
Speaker 2: Or was that six hours straight?
Speaker 4: So I've been on.
Speaker 10: Shift where it's and there's a probably big no.
Speaker 4: No. I've been on shift where I've used to work
Speaker 4: twelve hours and I usually not get a break just
Speaker 4: because people call them sick. And you know, people've got
Speaker 4: to pay for their groceries, right, And and I used
Speaker 4: to get calls from managers saying, oh, I'm so sorry
Speaker 4: about that, I'm so sorry about that.
Speaker 22: And I used to be like half the time, I
Speaker 22: just like that, I literally and.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised I charge people the right amount of money.
Speaker 4: So whenever you go like to like a checkout operator,
Speaker 4: I feel like now when I go call to them.
Speaker 4: I try and like spark a conversation that's a bit
Speaker 4: more interesting. So asking him how the day you know,
Speaker 4: what do you mean, how is the day they're on
Speaker 4: the checkout?
Speaker 3: They are?
Speaker 4: They're beeping along for six hours?
Speaker 3: Ask what they like?
Speaker 4: What are they studying?
Speaker 10: Or or ask like.
Speaker 4: Interesting stories you have, you know, stuff like that, because
Speaker 4: that those customers really like got me through those days.
Speaker 2: So it's excruciatingly boring.
Speaker 4: Excrucinating boring. It's honestly, it's most boring job I've every
Speaker 4: time in my life. And what's even worse is because
Speaker 4: it's so boring, I feel like because you're handling cash,
Speaker 4: I feel like I must have given somebody the wrong
Speaker 4: cash amount. I must have done something wrong during those shifts,
Speaker 4: and I must have been costing their business something right.
Speaker 2: So you probably are in favor of self checkout because
Speaker 2: it's freeing people from that boring work. I love it.
Speaker 4: I used to do as soon as they're as soon
Speaker 4: as they used to call them SCO self checkouts, And
Speaker 4: as soon as SCO came around, I was my hand
Speaker 4: by hand was up straight away, being like I would
Speaker 4: love to just stand there and help people. You know,
Speaker 4: like do the own groceries, laughing at people putting oranges
Speaker 4: as apples, you know, and being like, oh mate, what
Speaker 4: are you trying to do? You can't fool me.
Speaker 2: The SCO is a good thing.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I love SCO.
Speaker 3: It's honestly, it's.
Speaker 22: Like I think before, some people don't want to talk
Speaker 22: to like a chicken operator.
Speaker 4: And you can see like the SCO machines are becoming
Speaker 4: bigger and bigger, and there's no need for people like
Speaker 4: me to sit there and scan your groceries. I mean,
Speaker 4: like I can scam my groceries as fast well because
Speaker 4: I was a chick out operator, but I can scam
Speaker 4: my groceries just as fast as anybody else. And I mean,
Speaker 4: you want to be in and out right and time,
Speaker 4: you just don't want to talk to people.
Speaker 2: Nice to talk to. Three three away from ten, my
Speaker 2: name is Marcus. Welcome my good evening. Welcome, Hi Marcus.
Speaker 27: Good program. Couldn't think why anyone would be bored, And
Speaker 27: then as the night went on, I thought my very
Speaker 27: first full time job was so boring. I had a
Speaker 27: government job. I was in the stationery and I had
Speaker 27: to fill in seven and a half hours with twenty
Speaker 27: five minutes work. Oh, and I'd come from after school
Speaker 27: jobs that were so you had to really look after
Speaker 27: them to Kevin after school job. And I got the
Speaker 27: government job because it was the best paying one when
Speaker 27: I had to pay board, so boring. I traveled overseas,
Speaker 27: came back back and gliding on was on TV, and
Speaker 27: that took me right back to my government job. Smoking
Speaker 27: out of the mouth, loose undone top button tie mister jersey.
Speaker 2: And changed mag Why did no One put two and
Speaker 2: two together and realize there wasn't enough work to keep
Speaker 2: someone there for seven hours doing that?
Speaker 27: This was a government department we had in the office
Speaker 27: we would have had it was an open plan. We
Speaker 27: would have had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
Speaker 27: eight divisions in this office, an the countant in the
Speaker 27: corner with glass around. And the old days of racing
Speaker 27: when people used to take the day off to go racing.
Speaker 27: They didn't take the day off to go racing. But
Speaker 27: that seen someone down to the ta be wants the
Speaker 27: money and listened to the races on the radio.
Speaker 15: It was hilarious.
Speaker 2: What did you spend your time doing to follow those
Speaker 2: seven hours?
Speaker 27: Oh, it was hard work. I've never walked so slow.
Speaker 6: In my life.
Speaker 2: I don't think was it in Wellington, No, I'm not
Speaker 2: telling you.
Speaker 27: What it was in the big city. But but then
Speaker 27: I went nursing and.
Speaker 24: That was.
Speaker 27: Again government paid, brilliant, equal pay, over time, brilliant, amazing.
Speaker 27: I got to travel. Then I came back and I
Speaker 27: didn't go back to nursing because it had all changed.
Speaker 2: Where'd you go back to it?
Speaker 27: But the government department, they don't seem to have changed.
Speaker 13: Well do I know so many people?
Speaker 2: I think probably they have just quietly eighteen to ten.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I spent a nine hour shift. Is a
Speaker 2: scene guard guarding a murder scene, as a couple years ago,
Speaker 2: stood in the run of my own all nine till
Speaker 2: I was a leaved at six am by a colleague. Yes,
Speaker 2: that would be boring. Oh wait one hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: Teddy and nineteen nine parlor Marcus. Welcome, Hi Marcus.
Speaker 17: This is a quick contribution to talk about very niche bottom.
Speaker 17: It's very ecci. Hope some of the listeners will will
Speaker 17: experience the same. So the bottom that I'd like to
Speaker 17: talk about is it's the ange school pickup. You got
Speaker 17: to drive early because you don't get a parking and
Speaker 17: it's like literally hundreds of parents trying to pick up
Speaker 17: the kids. But it's only leg for example, a few parts.
Speaker 17: So you drive early and you're waiting. You're waiting until
Speaker 17: the school dowl ring, and it could be anything from
Speaker 17: fourteen minutes for zero to a whole hour.
Speaker 7: That mark us.
Speaker 17: That really is the most boring ever years. You don't
Speaker 17: get a park. You go early, and you gotta sit there.
Speaker 2: They must they must be alternatives. Can your children walk
Speaker 2: or can they get you? I mean that sounds like
Speaker 2: a terrible waste of time.
Speaker 14: Also, yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 17: It can't they like sometimes it can't walk a little
Speaker 17: bit too far? Yeah, then the buses don't run that route.
Speaker 17: You get a ton of parents waiting there, and then
Speaker 17: what do you do, Like and I'm like, okay, okay,
Speaker 17: to follow bottom. You ll just go get a pie.
Speaker 17: But you finish the pie in five minutes and there's
Speaker 17: thirty five minutes left.
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy, So you've got to get there.
Speaker 2: Just find yourself a park, is that right?
Speaker 17: Yes, we get there about thirty minutes early to study
Speaker 17: two minutes to a whole hour to find a car
Speaker 17: park on the side of the school road. Then wait,
Speaker 17: wait for the school, beltering yes, that's it.
Speaker 2: Is this an Auckland?
Speaker 10: Yes, unfortunately it's in Auckland?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 9: Wow?
Speaker 2: And how far away from the school are you?
Speaker 17: Thankfully?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 17: It's across the road if you're.
Speaker 2: Not, no, how far? How far away do you live
Speaker 2: from the school?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 17: From the school? Literally kill me?
Speaker 2: It is Oh okay, it's a long way, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It's a primary school, is it too?
Speaker 17: Yes? Correct? Correct, primary school?
Speaker 9: Yes, you know.
Speaker 2: I think people can identify with that girl, Parla.
Speaker 15: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Terrible an efficient day with no transport and not people
Speaker 2: close to schools get in touch. My name is Marcus.
Speaker 2: Welcome Auckland. Traffic is the most boring. Fair enough. They're
Speaker 2: call oh school jeep is creepers. Some of those lessons
Speaker 2: at school men, they're excruciating.
Speaker 9: Jeeves.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do feel I spent a lot of my
Speaker 2: life board anyway ten away from ten o'clock, Hettel, twelve oh,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty. I was just reading avery interesting
Speaker 2: article about well, I thought it was interesting, so get
Speaker 2: this right, because I had no idea about this. In Germany,
Speaker 2: American raccoons are out of control. So the Nazis right,
Speaker 2: bought the animals across from North America in the thirties
Speaker 2: for fur farming, but they escaped and they've taken over.
Speaker 2: How they are out of control. So there are American
Speaker 2: raccoons in France, Denmark, Poland, Italy, Austria and elsewhere spreading
Speaker 2: rapidly across Western Europe. Had no idea. And they can climb,
Speaker 2: and they're a bit like states through a thrill killer,
Speaker 2: and they predate on ground nesting birds they reckon. They're
Speaker 2: now part of the ecosystem for good. They've got cute
Speaker 2: little faces, haven't there There racoons are almost because they're
Speaker 2: not like they're wearing masks like the beagle boys. I
Speaker 2: don't think game hunters want to hunt them either. There's
Speaker 2: one butcher making sausages and meat balls from their meat
Speaker 2: might be good for salami.
Speaker 12: There we go.
Speaker 2: That's raccoons, American raccoons who knew, not me. Marcus had
Speaker 2: a horrible time at em I cur and auckland away
Speaker 2: and then it wasn't good. So any shows I tried
Speaker 2: to watch constantly buffered borders. While I travel on the
Speaker 2: truck with the husband, he goes to a site I'm
Speaker 2: not allowed for health and safety rules, so he drops
Speaker 2: me on the side of the road for two hours.
Speaker 2: Why unloads and reloads longest time? There's like a love
Speaker 2: story borders. When I travel the truck with my husband,
Speaker 2: he goes to a site I'm not alloweding for health
Speaker 2: and safety reasons, so he drops me on the side
Speaker 2: of the road for the two hours while I unloads
Speaker 2: and reloads. Longest time ever, Marcus Towards In the Last century,
Speaker 2: men five mates decided to go and check out the
Speaker 2: brand new Imax cinema on Queen Street, promoted to be
Speaker 2: the largest screen in New Zealand at the time. Six
Speaker 2: of us had forty five dollars ahead for a forty
Speaker 2: five minute brainded movie that I would consider is equal
Speaker 2: to the Blob movie and the Data Triplets the Blear
Speaker 2: Witch Project. I refuse to watch again to this day, Marcus.
Speaker 2: In the fifties and sixties, government departments were used to
Speaker 2: provide employment for people, and jobs often credit. For this purpose,
Speaker 2: there were messengers taking around the mail and tea ladies
Speaker 2: who came around with trolleys and record people who would
Speaker 2: find the large paper files for you, and young women
Speaker 2: would take dictations shorthand and type letterges in carbon paper
Speaker 2: to produce the copies for putting in files. Later on
Speaker 2: there were photocopy ladies who did all the photocopy. You
Speaker 2: followed a form of specifying how many photos copies you needed.
Speaker 2: The photocopies you got went collated, so to organize a
Speaker 2: gender for me to get to put a pile of
Speaker 2: pages of page one, a pile of page two. It
Speaker 2: set on a table and run around picking up a
Speaker 2: page at a time, then staple each set. Ooh a
Speaker 2: lot about MiQ Marcus. A few years ago as an accident,
Speaker 2: had a head injury with bad concussion that meant no worse.
Speaker 2: I can not be able to read, watch TV, look
Speaker 2: at a screen as all caused migraines. I also couldn't
Speaker 2: stand up for more than fifty minutes without getting dizzy.
Speaker 2: It was so boring lying in bed for so long.
Speaker 2: My most boring moment was sitting on the museum and
Speaker 2: played for forty three minutes waiting to take off while
Speaker 2: they offloaded the luggage because they discovered there was one
Speaker 2: bag too many. Nowhere to go. All the passengers just
Speaker 2: sat around, looking around and saying nothing. When I was
Speaker 2: ten my parents took me to a Michael Houston classical
Speaker 2: piano concert. I started sobbing halfway through because I was
Speaker 2: so bored. My father took me out to the car
Speaker 2: and locked me in. I went to sleep. Gilly, I
Speaker 2: feel for you sitting through a very long university graduation
Speaker 2: near the Beefer. I'll tell you what. The radio awards
Speaker 2: was a long listen flip that was they had all
Speaker 2: the podcast Gee that went for three hours. No want
Speaker 2: to sound ungrateful, but boy, that was a long event.
Speaker 2: Leamington's were ready for a night on Leamington's. There is
Speaker 2: a place subdustry this article. There's a place that's looking
Speaker 2: at the best Leamington in the country. Oh yeah, but
Speaker 2: what's that about.
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Not a kind of food, hype of self promotion, I feel.
Speaker 2: I don't think of Leamington's particularly as long as it's fresh.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know. If I'm a Leamington person actually
Speaker 2: might change my view about that. We are talking about
Speaker 2: the most baards you've ever been By the way they reckon,
Speaker 2: they fire at New World's accidental. What do they tell
Speaker 2: us all the food's going to be throwing out? Have
Speaker 2: to be hidden as well to stop the dump dumpster
Speaker 2: divers was always a terrible looking building. Can we say
Speaker 2: that now? What a cheap, nasty built supermarket.
Speaker 18: It was.
Speaker 2: One of those real kind of had that real nineties
Speaker 2: leaky building, look about it, ghastly building and then looks
Speaker 2: by the way it burned. It looked like it was
Speaker 2: a nasty building as well. Terrible building, cynical kind of
Speaker 2: a building that one. So yeah, horrible kind of thing.
Speaker 2: So no surprise that that burnt down like it did.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the cladding was, but not nice
Speaker 2: stuff anyway, Louise, it's Marcus welcome. Oh hi Marco, Hi, Louise,
Speaker 2: are you good? Good, good, good good?
Speaker 15: I must say it is so lovely to hear the
Speaker 15: dolts at tones of young Tony.
Speaker 2: Year, isn't it?
Speaker 26: Yes?
Speaker 2: Because if Tony retired, right, yeah, and now he's back
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, did.
Speaker 12: You get that?
Speaker 15: Yeah? I knew, but I was gutted.
Speaker 2: But anyway, we missed Tony terribly, but he comes back
Speaker 2: often like he's never left because we've had replacements that
Speaker 2: haven't lasted. Yeah, exactly, exactly what's that about?
Speaker 15: No one, no one can match his standards.
Speaker 22: Probably.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think everyone's replacement with Tony is very, very good.
Speaker 2: But it's lovely that he's made himself, you know, they
Speaker 2: availed himself to come back.
Speaker 15: Yes, all that's good. I'm happy about that. Well, the
Speaker 15: most board I think apart from a job I had
Speaker 15: where I was a renewals clerk an insurance company and
Speaker 15: a long story about how I doesn't that deeper job?
Speaker 25: What?
Speaker 15: What?
Speaker 2: What the hell's a renewals clerk?
Speaker 15: Well, and an insurance company in the seventies, they were
Speaker 15: seen pieces of paper which were reminding you to renew
Speaker 15: your policy. Yeah, okay, and this woman, missus Dimmington.
Speaker 2: Are you missus Dinnington?
Speaker 3: No, No, I was.
Speaker 15: Wor her and she prehd these pieces of paper like
Speaker 15: they were her children that she never had. And I
Speaker 15: just and of course, back in those days smoking and officers,
Speaker 15: it was just. I mean I had an actually job
Speaker 15: one days and that was better. That was less boring.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the most boring ever been was the insurance
Speaker 2: What else were we going to say about boredom?
Speaker 15: An e.
Speaker 2: Oh, but isn't I a great drama? Because you think, God,
Speaker 2: what's wrong with them? Or what's she done to her?
Speaker 2: Or don't you always try and put things together in
Speaker 2: A and E. I've always quite enjoyed it.
Speaker 15: Yes, I do. But there's a limit. I think i've
Speaker 15: if I ended up. How many hours I've been in
Speaker 15: the A and of my life with even myself or
Speaker 15: for the kids, probably be years. I'm yes, in about
Speaker 15: two or three years. Well you know, oh yeah, thirty
Speaker 15: two hours is the longest of it.
Speaker 2: It's a long time.
Speaker 15: A what was it?
Speaker 2: What was it was a broken limb?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 15: No, I think it was a really bad infection at
Speaker 15: that time. Yeah, oh yeah, we'll party. Hospital's got a
Speaker 15: good rip.
Speaker 2: Well, we've had, we've had, we've we've had long stints
Speaker 2: and A and E. I think I think we don't.
Speaker 2: I've said I don't think it's broken, you know, twelve
Speaker 2: hours later, broken arm. So yeah, so it's a long wait.
Speaker 2: But actually feel stupid because you think, oh, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's broken.
Speaker 15: But anyway, yes, I know it can be hard to
Speaker 15: tell actually sometimes, but yeah, it's just I say, there's
Speaker 15: such a thing as hospital time. It's like four times
Speaker 15: slower normal.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Although I think they did pretty well. They seem to
Speaker 2: get to everyone, and they seem to have the right
Speaker 2: tyranny of order, don't they. They seem to take people
Speaker 2: the right order. I've always thought, yeah, yeah they do.
Speaker 15: They do, and that's not their fault either at all.
Speaker 15: I mean I have to go regularly for an iron jection. Yeah,
Speaker 15: maximal degeneration, and.
Speaker 2: Well, I think what doesn't I think what doesn't help
Speaker 2: A and E is the drunks as people from road
Speaker 2: crashes and stuff that are intoxicated because they put everyone
Speaker 2: on each and and that's never a good luck.
Speaker 15: No, it's yeah, I just feel sorry for the start Oh,
Speaker 15: absolutely regular basis screaming children. I can't stand hearing a
Speaker 15: child in pain or a baby.
Speaker 2: And wouldn't be the wouldn't be anyone that would like that,
Speaker 2: would there?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 15: No, some people like it less more than I do,
Speaker 15: but no, I hate it all anyway. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 15: not awesome bored Actually no, not.
Speaker 2: As adults, we're not. Well, you've got a lot of
Speaker 2: things on Netflix. You know you can switch channels these days,
Speaker 2: can't you.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't have networks.
Speaker 2: I've got even better. That's the answer. Nice to talk, Luise,
Speaker 2: Thank you. Seventeen past ten. You know the drill boredom,
Speaker 2: boredom bored and boredom, boredom, boredom, boredom. I think the
Speaker 2: guy that was stuck in Mount even Raman, that seems
Speaker 2: to be the most Marcus. We are at Bowentown Camp
Speaker 2: and they are close to full capacity this week, chairs
Speaker 2: to Scottie Marcus. When I was a young new cop,
Speaker 2: I've asked to fill in for the DPS who were
Speaker 2: short staffed. One night, I was excited about carrying a
Speaker 2: glock on my hip for a whole shift, but they
Speaker 2: stationed me outside then pmbil English's hotel door for ten
Speaker 2: graveyard shift hours. Didn't see a soul, just looked at
Speaker 2: the wall. Longest ten hours of my life. That'd be hard.
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it. And Billinger, you wouldn't need dps,
Speaker 2: would he? Ohd dipton. Bill Marcus got dragged along to
Speaker 2: the Wearable Art show a few years ago, almost went
Speaker 2: mad with boredom. Never again, bears. I'll tell you some
Speaker 2: of the most boring things are school prize givings. They're terrible, terrible,
Speaker 2: that'd be my take. Really boring awards, ceremonies and prize givings,
Speaker 2: and some business meetings. Fortunately I have review meetings. These days.
Speaker 2: I like those people that have meetings when you've got
Speaker 2: to stand on one leg to keep them short. Marcus
Speaker 2: had a job sorting rubbish at the recycling plant. Once
Speaker 2: I looked at the clock, then went back to work
Speaker 2: for a long time, or so, I thought I'd talked
Speaker 2: another look at clock, not one minuted past. You have
Speaker 2: had a lot of experiences like that and medea thing, ooh, oh,
Speaker 2: it must be half a day. You look back and
Speaker 2: literally not a minute has gone. Marcus's school performance is boring,
Speaker 2: especially when charge any on stage for two of the
Speaker 2: one twenty minutes. That's why I'm surprised. I went along
Speaker 2: to that school production thing. When they danced to music
Speaker 2: and stuff, I thought was very good. I thought it
Speaker 2: was gonna be born out of my mind, very good.
Speaker 2: I thought, anyway, get in touch you on the talk people.
Speaker 2: Twenty five past ten. I'm just texting what a stage
Speaker 2: quest or something? I thought it was fantastic show quest.
Speaker 2: Fantastic booked me in for every year, Marcus, the most
Speaker 2: bart I've ever been. When I was a kid, I
Speaker 2: was taken to a watch a five day cricket test.
Speaker 2: It was the most boring Tedis game ever. Invented, and
Speaker 2: for God's sake, after five days and even end in
Speaker 2: the drawers should be banned. Yes, it's funny how time
Speaker 2: can go quickly and go extremely slowly. You talk about boredom,
Speaker 2: You would be the most boring talkback host on Yeah,
Speaker 2: well I don't think I would be. But who would
Speaker 2: be the least boring? If I'm the most boring, who
Speaker 2: would be the least boring? What's the triangle of boredom?
Speaker 2: The last time this Presus text in nineteenth June twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five. The last time they've texted was seven years ago,
Speaker 2: and the text was for God's sake, why do you
Speaker 2: let that man go on for so long? He's such
Speaker 2: a know it all? And know it all has spent
Speaker 2: spelled no it t A L L. Well, we're just
Speaker 2: try and do our best in this troubled world. All
Speaker 2: we try and do is make your evening interesting. We
Speaker 2: don't come and deliberately think, Okay, how can we make
Speaker 2: our night as boring as possible? I can promise you that.
Speaker 2: I mean, someday we crave the boring job. Actually, some
Speaker 2: days we'd rather be out peeling potatoes. Get in touch
Speaker 2: on the talk anyway, line's free. Let's be hearing for
Speaker 2: your twenty eight twent eleven What did it like about
Speaker 2: a long weekend? Is Thursday feels like Friday. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I apologize for calling it Friday, but I've got myself
Speaker 2: completely confused because normally when you have a long weekend,
Speaker 2: it's a Monday, not the Friday. I'm quite sure how
Speaker 2: much a leak he works with that, but thank you.
Speaker 2: I spart telling what prison sounds particularly boring, doesn't it?
Speaker 25: Good?
Speaker 2: Evening, Grant, It's Marcus welcome.
Speaker 19: Well, hi Marcus, what do you think about the new
Speaker 19: Poe tablets?
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm being set up for a joke,
Speaker 2: am I No, No, I saw an.
Speaker 19: Article on them the other the other the other day.
Speaker 19: It's spelt t I and then tablets and it's by
Speaker 19: email mask taking on Apples. You buy the tablet and
Speaker 19: I think it's about two hundred and fifty dollars uif
Speaker 19: and you get free access to starting to the Internet forever,
Speaker 19: forever anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2: So it's.
Speaker 19: Bigger than an iPad, same size as an iPad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but looks kind of it's got some depth, so
Speaker 2: it hasn't it looks like it's about an inch deep.
Speaker 19: I think that could be the pet the case that
Speaker 19: comes and I'm not too sure. Pretty amazing eye.
Speaker 2: So it just communicates with the satellites in the sky,
Speaker 2: so you've always you don't need any insect or anything
Speaker 2: like that. It's always there. Yes, it almost seems like
Speaker 2: I would probably work as a phone as well.
Speaker 19: I'm not sure. I was sort of a bit distracted
Speaker 19: at the time, but yeah, I mean, you could be
Speaker 19: sailing across the Pacific, in the middle of the Pacific
Speaker 19: between here and Chile, where there's a dead spot for
Speaker 19: most things, and you can still communicate for help if
Speaker 19: you're on a yacht or something like that.
Speaker 2: He's kept it pretty quiet to.
Speaker 9: Yes.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I don't know if they've been released yet, but
Speaker 19: they've certainly been developed.
Speaker 2: And would there be an ongoing and counter to use it. No,
Speaker 2: you said they wanted to do well, that's.
Speaker 19: What they said, but I mean it could be I
Speaker 19: can't imagine that being forever. That's what they've If you
Speaker 19: buy the unit, then there's no fee, and we.
Speaker 2: Mean that because this completely pass me by. Where did
Speaker 2: you say you heard that?
Speaker 19: It was an article on an Edward from uh.
Speaker 15: Useless.
Speaker 2: Okay, sounds fastinating Grant. Thanks for the heads up the
Speaker 2: pie tablet, p I tablet Google. It looks like a
Speaker 2: great but a kid. Jenny Marcus, Welcome, Hi Jenny, Hello, Hell.
Speaker 6: Are you mad?
Speaker 12: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Jenny.
Speaker 26: I had a boring Tom a few years ago. I
Speaker 26: actually had his operation and I reflected it after just
Speaker 26: about two weeks, and I ended up in the hospital
Speaker 26: for fifty four days. Oh, and was a league brace
Speaker 26: on from my from my going right down to the ankle,
Speaker 26: and I couldn't do anything, couldn't couldn't go anywhere. And
Speaker 26: that really had There was one one day and the
Speaker 26: next day I had no TV. Really really really boring.
Speaker 26: I can tell you. I had the lead both on.
Speaker 26: It was supposed to be on for six weeks. It
Speaker 26: was on for fifteen weeks.
Speaker 2: An award, an award, yet had down here and two
Speaker 2: oh yeah, what were the others like in the room?
Speaker 28: They are all right?
Speaker 18: And they were all right.
Speaker 26: I had quite a few came and went and came,
Speaker 26: and then they were going to send me out to
Speaker 26: peace Haven for the go Heaven Bitterer's Fight. And of
Speaker 26: course it was the days of COVID and they said,
Speaker 26: the last thing we've got to do is do a
Speaker 26: cover and test. So they did a COVID test and
Speaker 26: the nurse came back and she shut the room. I
Speaker 26: was in the door. As soon as she did that,
Speaker 26: I knew what was wrong. I had COVID. I had
Speaker 26: no symptoms, so I had to stay. The biggest excitement
Speaker 26: was the actually put me in a room all on
Speaker 26: my own with a TV set, because I never had
Speaker 26: a TV set the whole time above the.
Speaker 2: Wow, Hey, how are you announce?
Speaker 12: How you now?
Speaker 2: Jenny?
Speaker 25: You're good?
Speaker 15: Good?
Speaker 26: No, I'm good. I couldn't drive my calf well, I
Speaker 26: could get the foot on accelerated, but I couldn't get
Speaker 26: on the brake. But now I've taught myself how to
Speaker 26: do how to use the break with the with the
Speaker 26: right leg again. Yeah, the mustle above the knee is
Speaker 26: actually stuffed. It's it's just doesn't drink some properly at all.
Speaker 26: But I out how to drive anything else. So no,
Speaker 26: I'm good as gold.
Speaker 2: Did you slip on ice?
Speaker 19: No? No.
Speaker 26: I was getting back into bed after I had been
Speaker 26: to the toilet, and they said to me, when you're
Speaker 26: riding across the bed, when you think use your use
Speaker 26: your hands and use your good leg with a perfect
Speaker 26: bag under your behind, and take your skin on the bed.
Speaker 26: And just as I laid down, I got a pain
Speaker 26: from my hip then and the growing and this is
Speaker 26: what you have when you have a crock up. And
Speaker 26: I turned around and I rung my daughter, this is
Speaker 26: on a Sunday morning at a bit a quarter to one,
Speaker 26: and she said to be ringing, hang up mum and
Speaker 26: ring que. And I got the felephinous guy on the
Speaker 26: phone at Que and he said to me, hang up
Speaker 26: and we'll get a ring and give an in both
Speaker 26: straight away. And so the day before i'd put everything
Speaker 26: away and unpacked the fruit causs and put all the
Speaker 26: drugs and everybody else away, and I had to give
Speaker 26: it all back out again. But just as the two
Speaker 26: ladies off there went to right and they went to
Speaker 26: put me on the wheelchair, and just as I sat
Speaker 26: down on the wheelchair, my hip let go and it
Speaker 26: was an almighty crack I don't think I've ever heard,
Speaker 26: and always like it or what ever since. So I
Speaker 26: got taken to queue and it was on the Sunday morning,
Speaker 26: Monday Sunday. They said to me I would do an
Speaker 26: X ray and nothing. They said, it looks as good
Speaker 26: as gold. But they turned around on the Monday, they
Speaker 26: took me down for a scan and my daughter was
Speaker 26: up waiting vividly, and the doctor came back into the
Speaker 26: room and he said she's tracted and dislocated her hip.
Speaker 26: So the hip drink was about three inches away from
Speaker 26: where it should have been, and it was all but
Speaker 26: the bone broken off. So the first operation took two airs.
Speaker 26: But when I had the second operation, when they went
Speaker 26: to fix it up, I was in seat of six airs.
Speaker 2: So how had you first done your hap? Was this
Speaker 2: the second time? And that was the first time?
Speaker 26: The first time, I just went in and had a
Speaker 26: hip replacement and I came home. I came home on
Speaker 26: the first of eightful the aful.
Speaker 2: What they replace your hipto? Had you want it out?
Speaker 26: Yeah? Oh yes, I was a nursery worker and i'd
Speaker 26: actually I didn't either. It was foulty as well, but
Speaker 26: it made the hap worth four year. Just was really
Speaker 26: lying with us either way it was it was at
Speaker 26: the time.
Speaker 2: Did you say, did you say you're a nurse?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 26: I was a nursery worker plants for twelve years and
Speaker 26: my name was stuffed. But I've had two days now
Speaker 26: and I and I've got a hip. But they're looking
Speaker 26: at a mother happened. I just said my wallees alone.
Speaker 26: There's now Fandel. I've got boned density problems, so they
Speaker 26: don't really want to touch it if they can get.
Speaker 7: Away with it.
Speaker 2: Oh careful you're driving, Jenny. But nice to hear from you.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Look got to you, Diesel before we get
Speaker 2: to the news, Diesel. It's Marcus.
Speaker 9: Good evening, Yeah you Marcus.
Speaker 22: So I just want to comment on the care bells
Speaker 22: on a caneb and I think it's correct that the
Speaker 22: Cabory Rugby Union saying that the guys from that are
Speaker 22: supporting the Chiefs cannot use their care bells. And I'm
Speaker 22: telling you, if I did have a care bell and
Speaker 22: I was going to the game, I would certainly use it.
Speaker 25: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Good on you. You're the sort of til you're the
Speaker 2: sort of contembriar. We embrace fear. That's your fear.
Speaker 22: Well, not actually a rugby man. I'm a league boy,
Speaker 22: but you know, like, I just think it's absolutely tell them, well,
Speaker 22: if I was over a Whykadow supporter or Chief supporter,
Speaker 22: I'd be bring me beld In and I'll be.
Speaker 2: Bloody use it good to see that Canterbury is still
Speaker 2: producing good league players.
Speaker 22: Oh yeah, but it's not as not as strong as
Speaker 22: what it used to be years ago.
Speaker 2: But he you know it'll come back, don't worry, it'll
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 22: Well, we've got the Warriors to to well. Once we
Speaker 22: get air team out of the out of christ Ut,
Speaker 22: it'll be brilliant.
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll get one.
Speaker 22: Well, we probably won't, but I've got my fingers crossed
Speaker 22: and I think Lowly and Frank Andy Cootna, you know,
Speaker 22: going to go quite well. I'm thinking really sort of
Speaker 22: pushing to get a team out well way out of
Speaker 22: the South Island. It's not just out of christ just
Speaker 22: but it's going to come the whole of the South Islands.
Speaker 22: So I think it'll be bloody brilliant if they get
Speaker 22: a team.
Speaker 2: Anyway, shame you having on a cow bell to go
Speaker 2: along with. I'd like you to be there with one
Speaker 2: of those.
Speaker 22: Yeah, oh yeah, that's great. And I also another think
Speaker 22: that guy that reckon you're boring, I think he's he's
Speaker 22: a piece of work. I quite enjoy listen to you
Speaker 22: when I'm driving home at night.
Speaker 2: And yes it was a guy. It could be a woman.
Speaker 2: Marcus on the subject of weeding to do species in Germany.
Speaker 2: There's also a significant population of fair or rears in
Speaker 2: northeastern Germany. Escape from a zoo, no doubt. Oh gosh,
Speaker 2: I've got liquid in the charge port of my phone.
Speaker 2: Story of my life. I can't see it. I just
Speaker 2: store it vertically. He has got enough charge to get
Speaker 2: me through the night. Hey, anything else you want to
Speaker 2: talk about? Fore r free be a part of it.
Speaker 2: Raccoons in Germany. That was something I wasn't expecting to
Speaker 2: learn about tonight. And by the way, Mikey bebbon along
Speaker 2: from twelve o'clock, so he'll be along after me tonight.
Speaker 2: There'll be advertisements for Mateliki wond there. It's like the
Speaker 2: insict day Is it down?
Speaker 28: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Correct? On Monday they'll be commercials. I did watch that
Speaker 2: show on Netflix today about that treasure hunt, which I'd
Speaker 2: already read about. It was quite interesting. This guy is
Speaker 2: old and he thinks he's going to die. He's done
Speaker 2: quite well in life, and he fills a chest with
Speaker 2: gold and sovereigns and stuff and buries it and he
Speaker 2: writes a biography, and that biography is a poem which
Speaker 2: is about eight stanzas, which is the clue for where
Speaker 2: the treasure lies. Wow, boy, oh boy, did that become
Speaker 2: a big deal. He's doing COVID and the likes three
Speaker 2: people died looking for the treasure. They reckon three hundred
Speaker 2: thousand people are in the bush looking for it. And
Speaker 2: what was interesting about the show, and it was a
Speaker 2: quite a flawed TV show, but it was interesting to watch,
Speaker 2: is that they followed a lot a lot of people
Speaker 2: became obsessed, obviously with it, but they also experienced something
Speaker 2: which I presume is confirmation biased. But they thought that
Speaker 2: they had cracked the code, and everywhere they looked confirmed
Speaker 2: what they thought they were looking for, and they had
Speaker 2: no doubt that they were on the chest, when in
Speaker 2: fact they're miles away. And when in fact the chest
Speaker 2: finally got found after ten years, people were furious and
Speaker 2: hastled the guy, and I think then he died and
Speaker 2: hassled his family because people didn't want the search to stop,
Speaker 2: and then they didn't believe it had been found. And oh,
Speaker 2: it's quite interesting story. But one of the guys that
Speaker 2: was looking for the treasure who was a software was
Speaker 2: who spent a lot of time looking for it with
Speaker 2: his brother who died. He actually found the spot where
Speaker 2: the treasure was found after the chest was removed, so
Speaker 2: he was pretty well onto it. And it shows him
Speaker 2: they're going to the exact spot and realigning two photos
Speaker 2: the photo that was taken of the chest and himself,
Speaker 2: and it shows that he had found the spot where
Speaker 2: the treasure was. However, then he went to auction and
Speaker 2: bought the chest at auction and filled that with gold
Speaker 2: and now he's hidden that. So there's another treasure hunt
Speaker 2: on with a prize between one and five million American
Speaker 2: wordth of treasure. That's weird, isn't it. So yeah, all
Speaker 2: these people obsessed with treasure hunts. The clues weren't that
Speaker 2: good either. It wasn't like cryptic clues or it was
Speaker 2: just yeah, it wasn't like you had to there was
Speaker 2: a code you had to crack. It was just anyways,
Speaker 2: But it's worth watching. It took me a couple of
Speaker 2: hours to watch, and watching Netflix for a while. I
Speaker 2: thought the book and the younger boy what he came
Speaker 2: over to school watched, you know, he quite enjoyed it. Marcus.
Speaker 2: Great night at the Ambly Domain Rugby Glenmark playing Ambley
Speaker 2: second grade. Gosh the second grade now final score twenty
Speaker 2: six nineteen Glenmark yay. At least two hundred watching. Admittedly
Speaker 2: amazing day and night here, but the club is looking
Speaker 2: to play remained on Friday night. Everyone supporting is giving
Speaker 2: back the weekend to all and the heartland. North Candry
Speaker 2: Rugby still has passionate support and following. Crusaders tomorrow, cheers Tim.
Speaker 2: I don't think Crusaders is tomorrow. I think that's on Saturday, right,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's right, Marcus. More than twenty years on,
Speaker 2: Mum still moans about us going to see Dogville. I
Speaker 2: thought it might be good having Nicole Kidman and Lauren,
Speaker 2: butcall oh, how wrong could you be? Michelle?
Speaker 25: Oh?
Speaker 2: I one hundred and eighty to eighty? Jennifer Marcus welcome,
Speaker 2: Hi Marcus.
Speaker 15: How are you good?
Speaker 2: Jennifer?
Speaker 25: Thank you, congratulations on your award.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jennifer.
Speaker 25: I wanted to talk about trains with you.
Speaker 18: That's all right?
Speaker 25: Sure, I think trained a marvelous Yeah.
Speaker 2: Are there any than Are there any better than buses?
Speaker 25: Yes, they're much better than buses. Because they can cover
Speaker 25: a huge distance and take a lot of people a
Speaker 25: long way, and if they've got a good rails to
Speaker 25: stem they can they can go very fast.
Speaker 2: Not in New Zealand though, with our narrow gauge.
Speaker 25: No, but we could make our gauge wider. We've got
Speaker 25: the tracks already. It cost of fortune, that's all right,
Speaker 25: but it'll be worth it in the long run. This
Speaker 25: is the trouble with this country. They can't see into
Speaker 25: the future. That takes them years.
Speaker 2: They did see the future, we had a very vast
Speaker 2: rail network, but the motor car came along and they
Speaker 2: lifted most of it up.
Speaker 25: Well, that's how dumb they are.
Speaker 12: You Well, of.
Speaker 2: Course, when the when Julius Vogel thought of the rail
Speaker 2: scheme for New Zealand, I don't think the motor car
Speaker 2: was even envisaged.
Speaker 25: Well, the Indians have had a rail system for years.
Speaker 25: The British put it in before the railway, I think
Speaker 25: before the motor car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's suffering and I think most people
Speaker 2: fly nowt in there. I think that's done very well.
Speaker 25: I'm not talking about I mean within India.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, No, I think with an India many more
Speaker 2: people are flying now because of course when you're flying,
Speaker 2: you've got no maintenance of the tracks.
Speaker 25: Yes, but I mean they go to work on the train.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes they do.
Speaker 25: And there's just hundreds and thousands of people on a
Speaker 25: train in India, are even sitting on the.
Speaker 19: Top of them.
Speaker 2: I think trains work very well for incredibly densely populated countries,
Speaker 2: but not in New Zealand.
Speaker 27: Yeah, well you see it.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 25: Even in other countries in Australia, you know again, and
Speaker 25: we traveled in India. We traveled from about I think
Speaker 25: it was to Mumbai, and we've traveled a distance like
Speaker 25: from Auckland to in the cargo overnight and we slept
Speaker 25: the whole way in a cabin.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I I know a lot of people talking
Speaker 2: about bringing that train, the train back from christ Chicks
Speaker 2: to in the cargo.
Speaker 12: But.
Speaker 25: I have to make sure that they have it. I mean,
Speaker 25: you've got to have things like showers on us and
Speaker 25: make it comfortable.
Speaker 2: There's no way in the world, Jennifer, there's no way
Speaker 2: in the world that's coming back. People can fly for
Speaker 2: forty nine dollars. Look, I spend four hundred dollars on
Speaker 2: a train.
Speaker 25: Yeah, but then you've got to get to the airport,
Speaker 25: and you've got to get back again, and you've got
Speaker 25: to pack your can't I mean you can? Okay, take
Speaker 25: your look here in Auckland. To get from the north
Speaker 25: Shore to the airport, it's one how of a handle.
Speaker 25: I mean if you could just get on on one
Speaker 25: train and it went the whole I mean, more people
Speaker 25: would go to the airport.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think trains
Speaker 2: are going to take off anytime soon.
Speaker 25: No, because we haven't got them. Yeah, but every time
Speaker 25: it's a slip on the road, the traffic's held up
Speaker 25: and it's just chaos out there, whereas if people got
Speaker 25: I mean most of the cats have only got one
Speaker 25: person in them.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 25: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: An absence of forward planning. It seems to be for
Speaker 2: a lot of urban transport, I think. But yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I like your sentiment. I just don't think people are
Speaker 2: going to win that battle. I don't thin we're going
Speaker 2: to be bringing trains.
Speaker 25: Because they're all traveling around in their own little bubble,
Speaker 25: clogging up the roads.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Jennifer Brendan. It's Marcus welcome yourself Brandan.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, I'm looking good for the Warriors this weekend.
Speaker 11: It's just a bit that Ivan Cleary, like he said
Speaker 11: about how he's got his players out.
Speaker 18: And that.
Speaker 2: You know they've got to travel. I mean he's not
Speaker 2: going to bring us players obviously because that was in Perth.
Speaker 2: Remember that's even further away.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 11: But the fact that he's complaining about it now that
Speaker 11: he's down in the position that he is, whereas played
Speaker 11: last year the first four years, ye never spoken about
Speaker 11: it before.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's almost think Ivan Cleary speaks quite feely.
Speaker 2: I mean he'd be concerned because his son's kicking's not good.
Speaker 11: Yeah well, yeah, yeah, I might agree with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who tell me who from the Penrith was in
Speaker 2: State of Origin. There's Brian Tottle, there was Nathan Cleary,
Speaker 2: there was as Ieo, there was Lee mart Cleam Martin.
Speaker 2: Who else was there?
Speaker 14: I can't name?
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 11: No, The problem is when you run run the top
Speaker 11: team like he has in the last five years. This
Speaker 11: is what happens. And then when he's in the position
Speaker 11: he is now for some reason, I'm not sure why
Speaker 11: he's he's now stressing I guess.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be I'm going to be careful because
Speaker 2: Pin with my other team. Okay, yeah, I love pinrth.
Speaker 11: I well, I love other and Cleary because of what
Speaker 11: he did with the Warriors. I mean I thought to
Speaker 11: worries are wrong letting them.
Speaker 2: Go yep, to be honest, Yeah, oh no, I think this.
Speaker 2: I think this could be a potential banana skin game
Speaker 2: for us. Tomorrow Night said we could lose this. We could.
Speaker 2: We think they're going to be the easy beats. I
Speaker 2: think they could step up. But oh well, that's fine,

Speaker 15: of it all. Even today they I've got my family members,
Speaker 15: they still have their retreats. Education sits here and be
Speaker 15: quiet for the day between times.
Speaker 2: It's probably quite beneficial, is it?
Speaker 15: Well, it turns to some respects that when my children went,
Speaker 15: they used to stay the week and then they'd have
Speaker 15: lectures and lunches and teams and oh they ran all
Speaker 15: over the show. But I think they've cut it down
Speaker 15: a lot too, a lot more simple. But when I
Speaker 15: remember mine, I did them in the primary and I
Speaker 15: can remember primary just sitting on a bench for the
Speaker 15: whole day. They brought out of a cell.
Speaker 2: Where would the retreat actually be?
Speaker 15: Well if its retreats all over walks from now the
Speaker 15: monasteries and most of them tested school to every preach
Speaker 15: and their tools. They used to see them all when
Speaker 15: my children went to the one in Hillsborough.

Speaker 7: bit of it tonight.
Speaker 2: Are you in the South Island Andrew.
Speaker 7: No, I'm a North Islander and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, I think there's a few bugs going around
Speaker 2: this year that there could be quite a tough winter
Speaker 2: for people.
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, I think you're right. So we've spoken
Speaker 7: to you a couple of times on the audio enthusias
Speaker 7: Sky and I think I've told you before I'm a ganger,
Speaker 7: haven't I'm a.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might have alluded to it, but we get
Speaker 2: I sort of pictured you as one of those, anyway,
Speaker 2: did you? Yeah, high five system.
Speaker 11: And.
Speaker 19: No, mate, it what it was?
Speaker 9: It was red.
Speaker 7: It was super red and curly. When I was young,
Speaker 7: a face full of freckles. And then when I got
Speaker 7: to my sort of early you know, double figures of years,
Speaker 7: that started to go straight. And that was the best
Speaker 7: thing that ever happened to me. And I could never
Speaker 7: grow here along to have a mullet. All I got
Speaker 7: was a ginger frow. I just got this just here
Speaker 7: was that fuck? It was like an afro? Did you
Speaker 7: never got that big?
Speaker 2: But do you think of dying it?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 19: I have, I did.
Speaker 7: I did.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 7: When I became single, you know, I went to a blonde.
Speaker 7: But I'm quite funny because because my eyebrows are not
Speaker 7: really gingery.
Speaker 2: You know, did you go blond? Did you go blonde?
Speaker 7: Did I you mean when I colored it?
Speaker 2: When you went single? Did it go blonde?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, yeah, I gleitched it. Yeah yeah it was
Speaker 7: what well, my eyebrows, That's where I was what I
Speaker 7: was just saying, my eyebrows are really light. People think
Speaker 7: I am a blode, think I was a blonde, or
Speaker 7: I am a blonde completely gray. Now I'm fifty five,
Speaker 7: but I've already been gray. For quite a while. No really,
Speaker 7: somebody actually told me that Rehage go gray really late,
Speaker 7: but I probably went about when I started, when I
Speaker 7: was about fifty. And I'm completely sort of gray now,
Speaker 7: you know, but not completely, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: And I'm not being rude or anything.
Speaker 2: But anyway, Andrew just saying on now, come Bay, just
Speaker 2: get these last day the way I can relax.
Speaker 7: You're still here, Marcus, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't
Speaker 7: think read. I don't think red heads growth. I think
Speaker 7: that's a bit of a fellow.
Speaker 2: They've got a low pain threshold on they react quicker.
Speaker 7: No, so I've just recently done a bit of reading
Speaker 7: about that. Thank you. You've just triggered something else here.
Speaker 7: They at least we can ever laugh about it.
Speaker 4: No, so.
Speaker 2: File the handle.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I'm not going to Marcus. But apparently we
Speaker 7: have is it a high? We either have a lower
Speaker 7: or higher pain threshold. So I read something about that
Speaker 7: a nethetist can actually have a hard time with red heads,
Speaker 7: and you know, they're harder to as a patient for
Speaker 7: an anthetist. Year and saying with the dentist, I've heard
Speaker 7: a story about a dentist. They guy a couple of
Speaker 7: injections and that, oh, I can still feel it. So
Speaker 7: they gave him another one and that and I can
Speaker 7: still fit.
Speaker 9: Now, you know you've got to go.
Speaker 7: We think we think you're bullshitting us because we've given you,
Speaker 7: you know, enough to put an hour out. So I
Speaker 7: don't know. I don't know about that. My mum, my
Speaker 7: late mom sent me something once out of a paper
Speaker 7: that apparently redheads already have a gene in us that
Speaker 7: makes us get skin cancer. Is it like a malatonin
Speaker 7: or something or something about it? But I've had a few,
Speaker 7: but that's mainly skin cancers. But that's mainly from working
Speaker 7: outdoors for forty years as a chippy. So but apparently, yeah,
Speaker 7: there is things that we feel differently, Yes, pain and
Speaker 7: heat and cold. That's actually yeah, that was the other
Speaker 7: one read.
Speaker 9: I've read that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I don't know. I mean, I've been a
Speaker 7: ginger for fifty five years, Marcus, So how do I
Speaker 7: does mean you've.
Speaker 2: Got to have more layers of clothes or you don't
Speaker 2: feel the cold? What are you wearing now, Andrew?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm in bed, mate, So some boxer shorts, some
Speaker 7: boxer shorts and a little light top. But I think
Speaker 7: I feel the cold more so, you know.
Speaker 22: And even.
Speaker 7: A friend said, you really know how to layer. You know,
Speaker 7: if you've got too many layers, you can always for.
Speaker 2: Free to say you really know how to layer. That's
Speaker 2: quite moving that, Andrew. I'm going to go. But you're
Speaker 2: a super cooler for tonight, brilliant. You really know how
Speaker 2: to layer. We're coming along well as a nation of males.
