LISTEN ABOVE
You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News Talks.
I'd be.
You zeel in greetings, Welcome Marcus hes on midnight tonight, well until midnight tomorrow morning. I guess you could call it hey, how I I hope you're good. Welcome anyway, we has come right for me. So I'm delighted, happy, happy as a sand clam. So where's the expression I made that up? I think that's something. Anyway, Welcome, How are you will people breaking news when that happens the next four hours? Also too, hey last night, which I loved, by the way, so it's a great show. I enjoyed that greatly. A lot of people texted and said, gosh, we've got family in Florida, we've been in contact with them, can give us up late the storm. If you have people in Florida, if you've been in contact with Florida in the past twenty four hours through the eight hours, are surprised how many people have family connections there. Let me know what's happening there, how the people you have spoken to are and your communications with them. I'd be curious to know a lot of key wes traveling around over there. Are a lot of key we's retired. There a lot of Americans here and they're families are over there. If you've got a connection with that and an update, I wouldn't mind knowing someone that's spoken to people in Florida. If you've got some information about that, would love to hear from you. That's the first thing I want to tick off on my list of things I need to do tonight. Florida. Surprisedly it's a big news story here just because I think I don't know why, but certainly there's a lot of connections with Florida. If you've got one of those connections, let us know. Would like to talk to you muchly. I'll give you some updates on that throughout the course of the morning, although I think it's nighttime there now. Milton real old fashioned name for a hurricane. When you have anyone called Milton, like never anyway, I watched a bit of CNN today on the hurricane during breaks in the base ball so it's three o'clock in the morning there. I thought it was slightly performative to seend their host and Cooper to stand in a wet field. It served no purpose all it really did is put a huge amount of terror into the technical department. His earpeace didn't seem to work and quite stressful. Stressful to watch. That was kind of crazy anyway, So that's why I want to start talking about though expecting a storm surge, but the storm surge went the other way. It blew the water all out of the bay. That was a blessing, wasn't why they said the eye of the hurricane was three miles across. Did you hear that? So you might've got something else that you've heard from the coverage today. I wouldn't mind hearing about that. Oh eight one hundred and eighty tatty and nine to nine two texts, but particularly if you've been in chut touch with because I know last night a lot of people were talking about that. But you three mile across for the either, I don't know how how far across they are normally, So there was very surprising nine two nine two. By the way, if you do want to text here till twelve eighteen ten past date, if you've got other breaking news we are, let me know. Marcus. My dad's first name was Milton, but it was only ever called Joe. That's exactly right. You never called someone Milton because sounds like a surname. What are first names that sound like surnames? Milton? What are first names that sound like surnames? You'll have one, Well that your surname, that it's a first name. I can't think of any that's at school has had a name like a surname. What was it ab, I'll go through the alphabet. That's a better topic, I mean not I don't want to demean the hurricane, but first names that sound like surnames, Milton, Well, it's the old fashioned names. Ah, text and some of those quickly if you can, that could be a good cloud breaker. Oh e one hundred and eighty chaty and nine nine to text, Come on first, get in touch if you've got something to say. Mason sounds like a surname. Lindsey sounds like a surname. Cooper sounds like a surname. There you go. Not so many. There are many girls' names that sound like surnames. Are there. It's many boys' names that sound like I'm just trying to think about this as I'm thinking a lot allowed here. First names that sound like surnames and hurricanes hurricanes, Oh, Jake good response from the texts. Gosh, we've heard how many of the texts were saying first names that sound like surnames. Bradley, therese are all different texts. Bradley, Parker, Gibson, Spencer, Stewart, Craig, Digby, Harrison, Harrison's a terrible first name. Steadman. I wanted to call my second born Steadfast, and I wish I had it had slightly Well, I don't say I wish. I I love his name. I had slightly glory of our overtones. But it's a good name because you call them steady. I think it was a steadfast Pack and Peter where we were, Yeah, poor Marcus, Welcome, Hey Mike, I sare you go on? Good? Paul ten out of ten as end, Thank you, Nice to.
Talk to you again. Look, I know I was thinking about this name when they named it.
A couple of days ago.
I was thinking about it normally. Most of them are named after ladies, aren't they.
They've got lady chepers. Do you know what here it is?
Paul?
Yea, but do you know what?
Do you know what year it is?
Yeah?
I know, Paul. They were named after women because they were considered unpredictable, that is sexist. At about nineteen seventy, Okay, they.
Started, that's why you're on.
I'll retract the statement.
That's what about nineteen seventy they thought alternate them between male and female. Nuts this she can laughing at Paul. I'll try to find out when did they start. When did they start naming hurricanes after men?
Hopefully it's not this year.
Well, it was a long long time nineteen seventy nine. Wow, Yeah, and I think it was. I don't know if they said it was because they're unpredictable like women. I think that might have been the situation, which is pretty ghastly and or destructive, or they take every thing. It was probably before the after the matrimonial properly thing came in here.
I think we'd better put the spade away and just not talk about that anymore.
Yeah, well, no, it wasn't my spade, Paul, but thank you. From nineteen fifty three to nineteen seventy nine, they're actually named after women. Yeah, it's quite a complicated story. I can't fully work out what it was. I don't know if it was because they're unpredictable. I think that's what it was temperamental. Once these storms took on female names with them, and oh, so it wasn't it that so, No, it was it. It wasn't so much. It was more the reverse that they started naming them after women and the weathermen, right, because they're all men, red to type and would refer to cliches. A stell like most women is unpredictable or flirting with the coast slide is what they do, and no one was impressed. So they decided to go with me and woman as they should have dB Marcus welcome. I just held, don't stop talking them. I'm gonna have a rogue button here. There were a d be welcome, it's Marcus.
Good evening names Wilson as the first name and still.
The last name.
Oh it sounds like a surname, doesn't it. Yes, that's right.
Yes, yes, so he had Wilson Runaway is when I remember, well.
Yeah, we should have been Wilson.
Yeah, I will run away run away.
Yes.
Hurricans are all named by the American National Hurricane Center, and as you said, ninety is alternated. There not only hurricanes with them here, all the pyphoons and storms are named by them as well. But what I ring up a bit. Well, I was going to put a New Zealand spin on the Florida hurricane. Great, because New Zealands might not get a feel of how big Florida is. So I did some normal research Florida.
DB, because you sound so interesting. Can you get your phone line any better? A you on speakerphone?
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, much be a thing. I'm glad, I asked Dbe. I'm really glad. But thank you for doing that for us. That's that's great, bedside man, and thank you.
Yep, that's right. That's just the other way around. I can heal easier. But anyway, Florida is approximately the size of the South Island south of Kaikura. Oh goodness me, So that gives us a key we feel for its size. And this hurricane is attracted true to the room, would severely sipt everything from Chrost to the Eden.
Pretty much pretty much across pretty much kind of what I kind of thought it would be, like, I guess in some ways.
Yeah, well, if you're one of the North Islands to be involted, a track through Talpo and would take it everything between Hamilton and Paris the North, which is not bad don't you Have you been.
On Google maps and looked at all the care of mpacks.
I have a little bit of research because I don't want to be too dumb and there's going to be some heartbreaking. It's from this fun because even though it's calmed down of it, I kind.
Of I kind of got the sceense that was slightly not not as exciting as they anticipated. But that's often the case because we don't really know because it's dark.
Yeah, and if they said I don't think it to be a three, nobody would leave. Everybody yells it to you say it's going to be a five for everybody else. I'm not a meteorologist for exactly that reasonable.
Yeah. Yeah, it's hiding to know we're in it.
Yeah. So it was just a way of giving the Yllanders a feel for how big four other risk because a lot of people can understand the size of the South Island.
Very good, very good analogy. They're interesting some of the names of the cities in Florida as well, Melbourne of course and Saint Petersburg. It almost feels like they'd run out of place names that started borrowing place names from other countries, like how they named the Wombles anyway, get in touch. Welcome. My name is Marcus Hettle twelve oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty first names that are surnames Farkwha, Magna, Campbell, Finlay, Doogal, Blair, at least fifty other Scottish. Is it a Scottish thing? Maybe you go Fergel mcfergill. Hey, welcome people, Welcome to the show. My name is Marcus Hettle. Has been an enjoyable start with that first guy chief is anyway, And if you've got any connections with people in Florida, I just want one my time about Florida general. Actually have I been there briefly and enjoyed it greatly. It was pastoral. No, that's not quite the word I felt. Where was I in Florida? It was fantastic just the one night you feel like a country club extraordinary. Anyway, welcome Branditt's Marcus. Good evening.
I okay, Marcus, I can help you out with your first names and surnames. Thing in relation to Scottish families.
Oh thank you.
Well.
I was told the tradition was the first born male or female male mostly gets the mother's maiden name as their first name, So Murray gives you Murray McDougall gives you dog and and someone.
So if mister give me a Scottish surname, if mister McMurray marries mister Marris missus McDougall, the first son is called Dougall. Yeah, that's right, So it becomes Dougal McMurray.
Yeah, that's right. And there's a there's a certain oyster farmer up here in Auckland and his name is Callum Mcallum. So you don't where that come from?
Marry his sister.
I suspect that well makes a clan, right and yeah?
But okay, so if if there's a call, if there's a Callum Mcallum, then his mother must have married his father must have married someone with the same surname as his mother. Right, great, it's very interesting then bred what sort of oysters are they? Clevedond oysters?
Yep?
Any? Good?
Yeah good? What's got a fluff words as where you're from? But that good?
Okay, he's putting that out there. Did the pub raffle today? Gee? Haven't done the put on. I didn't really do the pub raffle, but this it does the pub raffle. I went along. It was good. It was a good vibe at the pub tonight. Actually the meat raffle. There's there's twenty numbers, or maybe there's forty numbers, and they're all written on the top of like gin bottle tops, and they're all in a sack and you pull out a number, and then the person that's they're all there, and then the purse that wins they put out the next number. Got a photo with Curly. His mother listens to the show. He's an oysterman. Gee a long time in the pub between oyster seasons. You'd think, wouldn't you. I think I'd do other stuff as well. Actually, straight Shooter get in touch Marcus till twelve. So that's oh by the way too. I spent some of today, I spent some of last night watching Chimp Crazy. So that's about people in the United States that keep primates as well, I say pets, but they're basically animals to exploit. So it's mainly chimpanzees or what I always thought were Cappuchin monkeys, but they call them capuchin. But so, what's going to happen in Florida?
Right?
Because all those people have abandoned their houses and the storms come through. There's probably chimpanzees running around now out of their cages. It's a pretty sad show. I not if you've seen it. It's kind of harrowing. It features that person had their face ripped off by the chimpanzee. It's got quiet. And she was on Oprah and Oprah said, cause I lift the veil. I turned off. I wasnt going to watch someone that couldn't bear that too squeamish. That's interesting about all the people with the surname in the first name. I suppose there's all sorts of cultures that do that. Would there be Julian, It's Marcus welcome.
You know, Marcus. Just to follow up yesterday from my Twysal trip.
So let me think you went to Clyde to pick up a yacht. Yeah, land Rover or is a lend Roval.

Yet?
Look the place where it is. If somebody was keen, I would let them know that somebody is coming. They should take them photos of the guy and the car. They can send them to me and at least if something happens, we know who's got the trailer.

Ahead, anyone texted yet, No, it's disappointing. Look they might be just to work out. I think you live in Cast.
What would you like to know about the church, Marcus. It's hard to heat and now, look I've got a very good heat pump because it's such a solid building it. Look, it was pretty cold in the winter.
And I've got another question. Yeah, is it in that book of news in concrete Buildings? I'm not sure it probably is, so they framed it all up and then just poured the concrete in it.
Look, I'm not sure there is a There is a little museum in Cast and it's got a lot of local history because there used to be a very famous motorbike racing cast years ago.
Didn't know that. Well, okay, and they're looking after you and the cast there have You're not They're not thinking he's a strange guy that built the church. They've been friendly to you.

Jenny Marcus Welcome, Hi, Jenny, oh.
Curre Marcus cure, Jenny.
I just wanted to share my story about my grandmother's name. So I never really knew what he name was TLAs twenty one, because my grandfather died and he probably would have called him mom because they were Scottish and that's what they did in that generation. My Mum's generation called her mum and we all called her Nana. So the only person who called it both Christian name really that I knew was when Auntie Ana came up from Wellington and she'd called her Maxi, so I assumed her name was Maxine as a child, didn't think anything of it, didn't ask anybody, and you know, I was never mentioned. And then when I was twenty one, oh, I had some friends up from Teacher's College staying at my Auntie's next door two story house. We were there supposed to look after the house, but really to keep nine Nana, who was in their eighties, and i'd been packing Eightpricotts as you do in Hook's Bay, and Mum and I drove up the drive and there's an ambulance there and the girls had seen Nana. She'd fallen over in the garden until nat she'd broken a hip. So Mum said, you've got the ambulance and I'll follow up in the car. So we're getting into the ambulance with Nana and they asked her what her name is and she says Maxfield Black And you could have knocked me down with a feather because I had no idea that was her name.
And so so what was it? We don't know, Yeah, what was her name?
Because I thought I thought her name was Maxine because my aunt called her Maxie and her name was Maxfield. That was her Christian name.
Wow, So she was born Maxfield?
LOGI And we think not confirmed that the that the midwife. Her Christian name was Maxfield, and they named after the midwife.
So that does sound like a woman's doesn't sound like a woman's Christian name, does it?
No, But following your previous caller who said that firstborn children had given the mother's you know, it's her name, then.
She possibly was.
That's possibly the midwife mother name Maxfield. So I've called my daughter Lauren Maxfield, and she's determined to carry the name on and she's going to call her daughter or son whatever she has. If she has a child, she's going to call that child Maxfield. We'll keep it in the family.
So is it mainly a woman's name, Maxfield?
Do not know don't know any history of all.
No, it's good though.
Yeah.
Wow.
And she were asked because you had me lost on the hip, because it's a hard fraction of facts.
Yeah.
No, she she was more or less housebound after that. But she lived into her nineties.
Oh god, and the.
World came to her. So speaking of so she lived around the corner from the Methis Church and were sure that preen. Oh well, she was the keeper of the keys, and they would come and click the keys from her keeper and they bring her the news leader at the Afstitute Service. And she's a lovely lady.
That's a nice story, Jenny, Thank you, the keeper of the keys. What was that woman that that guy last night, that woman last night, Dan that had been to a what did that woman get told she was? She was a financial one, she was a financial triangle? Is that what she was told? Yeah, I'm just watching, seeing and waiting for the shots of the marauding bands of chimps going around. If you watch Chimp Crazy, it's pretty freaky that one. Anyway, Thank you, Jenny. Twenty three away from nine. So I feel we're building a community. We've got helped out what's the name with his trailer. No one's texted and said what's his number? Someone says which pub markets? Do I talk about a pub? My friend is in Fort Myers direct hit today. She brought a house which was in an established trailer park. She sold her house in Boston to escape the cold winters. But she's had hurricane in which wiped out our guarded. The last one flattened her car, put onto her car. Now her whole suburb is flooding with water up to the windows now and still have a king king tide tonight to come. Oh, she'll be missing the cold in Boston. My grandmother had a friend called Woolburger. First name is. She was born near Saint Wohlburg's Church in Preston, UK. I thought it'd be in a day with Peer wanting Julian's number for the church. When Julian cid he wanted his trek to taken from twice all to christ Church, what did you think he was going to say? The amount was because us thinking what would be the amount to take a trailer and I couldn't imagine what that amount would be. But when he said the amount was one hundred dollars, I thought, well that seemed about right, because actually not doing much. If you're going that way, that's a hundi for you, isn't it. You see what I thought it would have been a South Island. What he would have seen would be, I'll give you a couple of boxes of beer. That's what I thought. He would have said, how much of a couple of boxes of beer? Eighty bucks? But the hundi's probably as good as well. I couldn't get up there and back. I don't think tomorrow not they want a couple of boxes of beer a hundi. But I could leave after work. I could be spend the night and twice, or take it till I couldn't get back in time. Could broadcast from christ Church. Yeah, there we go. Uh, I've got commitments. I think all these commitments. What do you say about custom? This to be a motorbike race? There? I always get cust and cass mixed up. That's my trouble. It's a funny name for a town. Cast I suppose it's based on a Scottish town or something. Good evening, Joe, AT's Marcus welcome?

Cust fantastic information. Joe enjoyed that call very much. Thank you for that good text or email. In fact, Hi, hi, Mike. I think it means Marcus, but hi listing In Australia, Robson Green, British TV dude was named as below. He was named in the Northeast tradition of naming his first son after the family surnames. Robson was his paternal grandmother's maiden name, while his middle name, Golightly is the surname of his maternal grandmother, Sissy go Lightly, daughter of William Golightly and minor and a well known trade union leader in the nineteen twenties. To Mike Grere, thanks for that, Mike, I quite like that. How you can bine your sort of parents and maiden names to go into your names. Robson was his paternal grandmother's maiden name. I love the name go Lightly. After Breakfast at Tiffany's, is that what is I'm going to be singing that song? I say, what about Marcus? Unfortunately? Any chimps on the loos in Florida are likely to be shot. Police can be very trigger happy. I'll tell you what, watching watching Chimp crazy. The company that comes across really badly is Hallmark Cards, because bor did they exploit the chimps dressing them up in clothes and having them at birthday parties and stuff for cards wasn't good because you can't keep I don't think you can keep lions anymore after that. Karen Karen Baskull went to this parliament to stop that after the lion king. But you can still keep primates, and there's big money selling them. Breeding chimps and chimp mills and capuchin monkeys. Fascinating summer. Someone says there should be a trigger warning for Milton residents in the Kluther district. Very good. We'll get you more information if I can, about anything that's happening with Milton. This is the hurricane. It looks to me. I'm looking at the TV. It looks to me like it's light there. Dan is that file footage? Because what times? It must be four am? It wouldn't get sun up that early, would it. Marcus. The New Zealand Motorcycle Grand Prix was held at cust A Gravel road circuit in the fifties before the s Felt Circuit at Huapuda. Many famous US in riders rode at cust pretty scary at one hundred miles per hour on gravel. They're at a reunion event of the eighties. Cheers. John Gosh must have been exciting motorbike racing in the fifties the way Hecki Island circuit that was legendary cemetery circuit whang Nui. I think there was a circuit why he was. I'm sure there's circuits right around the country. Pretty terrifying always to watch. Marcus. My grandfather's name was Wilkinson. His brothers were Maitland, Goldburn and Perth. His parents for Australia. They were known by the nicknames Wilke, Malt and Goldie and PJ. That's of interest to me, it's all of interest. Keep it going. Oh eight hundred and eighty each, add nine nine to text. By the way, quite likely go Robson Green on the TV. He's good. Forget what shows he does. Extreme fishing I think is one of them. He's better than the other fishing guy that takes it too seriously. He's writing, you've seen that guy on. Scott is always writing in his diary, tiny little writing. Oh by the way. Two breaking news the Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson. You'll know him, you're always doing shot to him in the NRL in the coach's box. Him and his wife have been airlifted to hospital from the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Their barbecue exploded seven past nine, nine oh seven. My name's Marcus, Head of the End, head on midnight. Don't remember the comet next week. First time for a long long time we've got a comet. The first time since two thousand and seven and Easter. McNaught. McNaught was the comet. Remember that I saw it at all Etty Beach, just at sunset. Only time I've seen a comet. I maybe might have seen Halli's, but that was a dud. I think when Halles first came it was before TV. There wasn't much else to look at. Leo, Marcus, welcome.
You good, thank you good, yep real good.
When before the news you meant that that desh explosion of barbitues.
Yes, that.
There is a recall of those barbecues on those guests and from Bamington Australia over build them. Wow, and they were recalling them one Yeah, it could have been one who goes into it raised the question of maybe the other day. Yeah, right then your modern barb ran. You don't go through that much guest with them and the nine kg one that I never get them full at the top. I'm not the only hit them half full because they take a long time so empty.
Yeah, and I just wanted the.
Life of guesses.
That sounds like the sort of question some of our audience would know. Can I just ask you a question? Firstly, low, first and foremost, thank you for being so on top of the news because it's like breaking news story in Australia. And see are you in Australia.
No, no, no, why would why.
Why would overfilling cause and explosion? Because it would it would ignite before you turn it off. And I can't quite work it out.
No, not sure, but it was it's not news actually news media three days ago.
Yeah, but that's recent. That's okay, fair enough, But yeah, I think Lee, I think what happens if you overfill them the guess comes out the safety valve and ignites there.
That's right. Yeah, I think that's I think that's what's causing it. It's because I've been over felt. It's even now and keeping out of the safety valve and probably igniting.
Could also could also guess someone if they kept in a confined space. If it's leaking like that, tell me something. You want to know how long guest lasts in a guest bottle?
Yeah, it's it's it's because I was always used to filling the stop, but then I got lawns about half selling it because I thought, well, I know petrol with petrols. If it's more than three months old, that's interior.
Yes, I'll see if I get I'll see if I get some information about that. LEA. That's a good question. So I wouldn't mind a discussion on guest bottle coming into summer, coming into the barbie season, So let us know about that.
Also.
People Marcus Roylebush and South and host of the New Zoom Grand Prix in the nineteen fifties. Average speed undifty kp hour make it the fastest circuit New Zealand Peter Whitehead one in fifty seven. Marcus big Fan, my father has always been called Cully. Our family's surname is Cullen his best mate Carrot Crookshank from Thames. Name my dad this nickname in Crook's Beach back in the seventies. I own Cully's hot sources and Mayo thought a great name to call my Bizo after my dad. Right now, a horsehold name in New Zealand. Go you with your hot sauce.
Due.
We've got all the heavy headers coming through to know. I'm liking this. So I want to know who named their children by finding the apparent surnames or something like that. I'm always up for a discussion like that. So with your parents made and we're coming on the back of Milton, because it sounds like a surner, not a first name, but a lot of the surnames. It's first names that sounds like surnames come from Scotland, where it was all the rage to name your daughter. You'd know about this living Stone because you've got a pretty quirky first name. Do you mind me saying that?
No, not at all, Marcus, I get it every day.
So tell me the story living Stone.
It's commonly known in Scotland as a surname. I don't know if you're aware of the Victorian explorer who explored Africa and found the source of the nail and named Lake Victoria after Queen Victoria.
Dr David Livingstone, are you taking the mickey?
Not?
Not at all, Marcus, not at all.
I don't like that. What what's the word for that? When you when you when you say something like, I don't know if you don't have you ever heard of anyway? Now I have heard of doctor Livingstone living Stone, so yes, as I think what everyone on the planet. But I appreciate that anyway, your pol likeness with getting us all up to scratch.
Yes, well not sorry Marcus, I haven't heard them. Yes, So within my family, I'm a direct descendant of doctor David Livingstone in my family. Yeah, he was born in south Lanarkshire. My family kind of migrated a little bit more to the west to the east, so we were northeast of Lanarkshire, and our family adopted his surname as a Christian name, basically of Prade in honor of the works he did back in the late eighteen hundreds, which he was working off. Yeah, so you.
Think about Dr living Stone, he hasn't been he has what's it when you he hasn't been delisted. You know, he hasn't been canceled. Is that like that kind of when uh, when they when they when they thought out he was a rampant racist or something. Is I think he's still got a very good reputation.
Isn't he he he he Also Marcus he had a great reputation for when he came back to Britain to cancel this slave trade.
Yes, that's where he was an abolitionist, wasn't he.
Yeah. Yeah, so I'm actually a Rubles story in my name. But the considering further, do you know what my surname is?
Living Stone?
Not my surname?
Yeah?
Are you living? Are you living Stone? Living Stone?
No?
My surname is Russell.
Well historic Russell.
And yeah, yeah, I've been to Russell in New zeal many times. I've got a lovely connection with that time. It's got historical connections Scotland as well.
It's got historical connections for my family to Historic Russell. Yeah, yea great.
You know, when you know, when i'm you know, if if I apply for something and I've got to fill out a form, it will ask me, you know, it says on it, what's your surname and what's your first name, so that my surname is Russell.
No sorry, you got there picked to front.
They send me a letter and they'll say dear dear mister Livingstone and no address in the letter.
Hi Russell.
I get that all the time Mark is.
Living is it Livingstone? Has anyone ever asked you if you're named after Jonathan Livingstone seagull?
I've had that as well as.
What a great plan that we live on, because obviously he's a bit older than Jonathan Livingston seagull. What a great shall I sten album the other day? It wasn't that good. I remember it more fondly than that. There wasn't enough of it. The album was too short. I think, actually it's quite good. I listened to the drive back home from work one night. It does kick in quite well wide its Marcus, welcome, good way, thank you.
I was just not about the old guest bottles, and they shouldn't they shouldn't just explode by that because of the safety velves. So the safety velves must have failed because they can't just explode.
But they said that. From my quick reading, once that guy mentioned it, right, it seemed as though because of the overfilledness, then there was guests coming out of the safety valve. Does that make sense?
I so it was releasing the guests.
It says affected cylinders may have been overfilled, which could cause guests to be released from the safety valve and the cylinder.
Oh right, holy well, oh what a cluster.
Yeah. Well, if it's taken out one of the top five rugby coaches rugby league coaches in Australia, I mean, that's about as legendary as if buddings have taken him out. You don't know. You don't come back from that, do you, No?
But like, holy hell?
So, so they must have like a flame nearby or something to ignite.
I don't know if this is the situation with this, but there has been a recall because they have been exploding. And these guys and these guys, these guys that know their barbecues. I mean, guess bottles don't normally catch fire, do you unless you put the even if you put the guests that even Yeah, yeah you go.
When I was younger, I we just stupidly enough we checked one on the fire just to see what would happen.
Oh that was sensible.
Yeah, nothing happened, No.
Really, wow, Okay, but you'd be waiting a while before you approached it, though, wouldn't you.
Yeah, we put it on there all like show. We shuld probably shouldn't have done this.
Show.
It was a little shotgun.
That's funny. That's funny. Well you survive, You've survived this long way. So yeah, okay, I'm just looking at the diagram and I can't quite work out the valve. Yeah, I can't work out with the safety valve how that works. But that's not my strong suit as guess bottles.
Yeah, it's all just just to do pressure once once the bottle gets to a certain pressure, there's you know, they've got.
The valve, just underwear, the tappers understand that just you know, just release it out the tech pretty much. But yeah, but it only does that when it's Yeah, absolutely necessary.
Nice to talk, Wade, Thank you enjoyed that. Like gu spir have to worry about gas bottles much longer. I won't have any guests, will We gonna take them twenty years to find some more. Marcus. My wife's grandfather is named Joseph Daniel, and so she is named Jody, taking the first syllable of each name. Wouldn't that be Jodah. I was the only one on us in with my name until my son and daughter came along. Great show again, Chris. So it's all about when you've invented a name from your mother's maiden name. I never thought that was a thing, but in Scotland that's a big deal.
Yeah.
Here, welcome people. Hurdle twelve. Don't ever check a gas station gas bottle on the fire. I'd have to say that stuff. My grandfather's family lived in cust during the First World War. They sent three boys overseas and lost John, my great uncle, who died of wounds at Gallipi, aged twenty one. His name is on the cussed warm and the other two boys did return. They had awful experiences at Gallipoli and the som I grew up with my with John's photo always in my grandparents' house. He was such a handsome lad. Such a tragic loss. It's from Meredith John. I don't know if that was John Lloyd, John Craig, John Tate or John Powell the four Jays there. Wow. I don't even know what the CUSP would have been like during World when one of that would have been mainly sheep farms, Sam, it's Marcus. Good evening and welcome you know Marcus.
How are you tonight, buddy good?
Thank you Sam.
It's a story mate. Hey, listen, I just picked up on that guess bottle story and it just triggered a memory, mate. And that's the best thing about listening to you and the others out there, because it just triggers the memories, you know what I mean. But the guess bottle, mate, you know how old make before was saying he threw it in the fire and he was sort of nothing either happened. But the memory that I have was it Jaws two or Jaws one, where you know that there was that scuba tank and as the shark's mouth and they shot him the hero of the story, Yeah, and blew up and we're all good. You know, everything turns to mins and life goes on, you know, get back in the water.
So it is that standard operating procedure. Now with Jake's what does that work? Did they run that through myth bust? I?
Honestly, I think you could probably go to a nice wee segway here. The things that Hollywood have taught us that have proven to be completely wrong, and this must be.
In the top five.
Surely give you some wood cardcases on top of that, too.
Would not work on the list. Could you not shoot a shark tank?
Oh listen, Marcus, like the wind if if I'm not, I'm going to sound like an expert here, but please assure you I'm not. I'm sure with the wind, and I think he was lying on like a something, a raft. So we had a good, good aim and he was waiting the anticipation.
There has been a Mythsbuster's Jaws special and there's nothing to explode, so there's there would be no explosion. It's just it's just oxygen, isn't it just the compressed deer?
Yeah?
Oh, well done. So have we proven something tonight? If anyone's like me, we can safely say that that would not kill Jaws.
You know, I've always too chicken to see Jaws. I've never seen it.
Yeah, I know.
Well, you guys have some big sharks on So have you heard of anyone down the air the biggest, the biggest, Yeah, the big Yeah, that's where they breed, don't they.
That?
Yeah, is the Jaws that shark Central. And now of course because they are now of course, because they associate the boat with food because they've become they've become habitualized or whatever. When they see the boat, they know they're going to get fed. So it's pretty sketchy. The people that go and do it absolutely love it. They're always saying, you want to come, I've got no desire whatsoever to go out.
I know, stay on the landmark. I say, like, it's busy enough, being troublesome enough.
So you know, they give you they give you a go pro. So you're in the cage with a go pro and you can film the shark coming at you.
Ah, why would you Where are you going to show that on your twenty first or your fiftieth wedding?
Ani grocery?
Why would you want to?
People love it, people that come from overseas.
To do it.
Oh yeah, okay, all right, well, thank you very much.
It's been nice to talk to you. Us stick to escape rooms, going to Yeah, I mean, because the thing also got to spend the day bouncing around the fovo straight. You know, you're out there for hours. Everyone gets to turn. But look, it's not my jam. But the people that do it absolutely love it. I've never heard anyone say they would discipline you. Know, I don't want to be the bluff terrorism Board, but I've never ever heard anyone say they didn't enjoy it. People, it's just not for me. But you're in a cage drop down from the boat in the sharks circle, and I guess they bite the cage too. But I think there's only about three places in the world where you can do diving with sharks things ones in South Africa, and one might be in California or Mexico. But I think the news in and one is the best with the most impressive sharks. So it's full credit for them to coming up the idea and carrying it off. As I say, people love it. Marcus the guest bottle. It was probably a b l e v E bailing liquid expanding vapor exposion. You can google this. It's now like headline news in Australia because that's the classic Australian story because it combines a rugby league coach and a barbecue and an explosion. I think they're fine. I think they had poured water right, they got chopping, they got chop of act or hellyvact. I guess you call that none. You're not chop of act. They got chop of act. So we are talking about cust think about this show. Every town eventually gets the time in the sun, just kind of randomly, don't they. But tonight we're talking cussed. I kind of always and I think I always would have said that it was south of christ Chich. I've never realized it was north because I got sick of talking about rangi Or and I caught the bus there last time I was in Krust, which quite enjoyed that, but never thought to go to I presume there was a railway line that went all the way to Oxford.
Is that right?
It went further through, did it?
So?
I guess through a railway. Town's Oxford, Bennett's cuss spring Bank. They look like names of railway stations flat Land. Why wouldn't you put a railway through there? You can always find where the railways go because there's always roads called station road, and that's normally if you're looking for where railways were, that's normally a clue. Well, that looks like mcclay's lane has put bang on top of the railway starting anyway bit of everything tonight, And I'm liking that, but some and Bob's mopping it up all the topics. That's what we want. And someone wanted to know how long did the guess and a guess bottle last? Not how long till it runs out, but does it become sour. I don't know what happens with old guests. I don't currently have a big guess bottle. We're not kind of a guess bottle family.
Yeah.
Well, there's always barbecues at the school. We always use the school barbecue. They always having to run off to get the guests. Who's never quite sure if there guess or not. That's probably the good thing about this time of the year is always to check your guess bottle is full. There's nothing worse than getting ready for barbecue and the guest bottle runs out. There's two day ruiners. It comes with the barbecue. The what first one is when you go and have a barbecue and you realize the guest bottles run out. But even worse than that, as you're somewhere and you got to use the barbecue and it hasn't been cleaned since the last summer. That's a terrible thing. That's a barbecue ruiner and a day ruiner. I pray that never happens to you. That's a terrible, terrible thing to have happened. The unclean barbecue the worst trick in the book, to not clean a barbecue, terrible, one of the great crimes of all time. Marcus can, I mate, my mate cad, I mate, my mate Macro and I took partners sheep sharing comp and ward just after christ Church fell over in twenty eleven. No train tracks in site. J imagine the railway hadn't run for about sixty years. But I appreciate what you're saying. Joe, get in touch twenty seven to ten. There's some other topic you want to kickstart tonight. I still want to know how we're going to get that guy's trailer home. That's right, that's what that person's pointed out that scene, And I remember that this is thank you Sarah old Beasley's film. There is a scene in the news Ina movie Savage Honeymoon Honeymoon where they blow up a gas bottle on a barbecue. The census didn't like the explosion. Made an R eighteen movie. It was really good. It's one of my favorite movies. Yes, and that kind of seemed to me to be a forerunner for West Side. Is that the name of the right show. Yes, So I just emails about people also saying they're too scared to see the movie Jaws. Well, you kind of put off seeing a movie because the kid, you think it's gonna be too scary, Then as an adult, why see it because everyone's seen it and you've missed all the discussions And I don't know what will bring me to see Jaws, if anything. And how long will the guests and a guest bottle? That's a fairly practical question, and I feel we should talk about that because that guy asked that in good faith. We've got one caller that runs a racket buying and selling old guest bottles on trade. We remember him was quite sketchy about it, but he did that. I forget when we were talking about that. I'm seeing there's no news in the story about Trent Robinson to say that it was a Bunnings guest. Well, that was one of those to do with the recall. It says Trent check the knob the nabock knight, and it went off. We were having a barbecue about an now after we'd eaten a guess smell was there Trent checked the knob the Nabok Knight and it went off. They are both okay. Naturally, triple O was called, well they have triple O. The Embasis came straight away to make sure everything was correct. A helicopter was summoned. Oh so it was a couple of days ago. Trent was kept for two days in hospital. Wow, it's a big story. Hi, Kerry, thanks for calling. It's Marcus welcome.
Hi.
Just an interesting topic. Your own just reminded me. I just went out to for myself a few news so to stream bottle just so that I wasn't a bot constantly, you know, I do seprial at once and I realized that they've got to use by j I looked at no, and I looked at the two old bottles that I had, and they were not to be used down to two twelve. I'm overusing them up tall two massacres and.
I've never heard anyone die from that. But I probably shouldn't say that. But yeah, I wonder how much appreciation because you're not You're not like setting light to it, are you.
No? No, I was sure much to spect. You know, you could have may have SI the place it was.
Said splen Yes, good points or something, but.
It's just not something you think about.
I've stated different.
Last week he had two Stream bottles in inscription. I had a lookers were probably around about the same age as by old.
I don't know.
People use it, you're not to keep using them.
Where do you refill those guest cylinders for soda Stream?
No?
No, not the guests, the actual bottles. They go and you I can understand, okay, but.
You take the case so and those can go to Harby Norman. I think you might have the fantasy Native might with zampas their safety day.
Would take the sticulation.
Nice to hear from you. Thank you, Sandra Marcus.
Hello, hello Marcus.
I might have misconstrued your subject about I love it, I love its name, I love us. Okay. My name, which originates Galway in Ireland, is a modern take on a modern name for first names, and it's d u a n E which is Duane and a lot of people are using that as the first names. And I quite often when I say that Sandra in my name, it's mister strud that that's part of my first name.
Oh tell me about that again. How do they how do they misconstrue it.
That it's part of my first name because it's a it's used as a first name and not much I see.
So when you put Sandra Dwayne and I think it's your first two names rather than have to copy that. Okay, yeah, so yes, pronounced it pronounced Duane, yes.
Yeah, yeah, not Dwyane.
Dwyane is d w a y yes okay.
Yeah yeah yeah, so that's something I had to say.
The name.
So it's a Galway surname and they've turned into a first name.
I got that right.
Yeah.
Yeah, my ancestors obviously on my father's side, I went back to my maiden name on my father's side came from Galway.
Wow.
Yeah yeah.
But there's many many Duanes globally and they sort of all over the world, but this particular faction in New Zealand came from Galway.
Have you been to Galway?
No?
I haven't, and I'd love to go.
Nice to talk to you. Something to think. I'd like to go to Goolway. I'd like to go everywhere. Marcus Beth is this week in much better than the America's Cup. Happy Beth. This weekend, Dave Marcus I was given my mother's mother's maiden name as a middle name. Two months ago, I was blessed with identical twin grandsons. They both incorporate both granddad's name and their names. Good stuff, Hello, Jerriot'scus, Welcome, Yes, good.
Evening, Marcus Marcus. I lived in America many years ago, and we had an underground shopping mall that I estimated could have provided shelter for at least a few thousand people. So, in relation to the Florida typhoons which have been going on for decades, is it possible that they could build an underground shopping mall that would allow all these people you know who are stranded in their trailer homes to somehow just go underground and and find security and safety in Florida or Tampa or wherever they are.
Makes sense, doesn't it? I just wonder, I guess from I think a lot of the land and Florida is quite low lying, though, so I guess if you go underground, you could be going below sea level, which might have challenges.
Oh, I did not know that. I've never been to Florida, so that's that explains it.
I guess, yeah, I think it's quite low lying, but look, I'll check out the I'll check out the topography of it and report back. Get Jerry, but thank you for that. Whereabouts did you live in the States, Jerry.
In Vancouver and Washington.
Oh yeah, okay, okay, nice to hear from you, Jerry. Thank you. Ten oh seven. We're talking about guest bottles. Also, someone wants say how long the guest lasts before it goes off in the guest bottle. I don't know anything about that. Pharone's got the information about that. That would be good to hear from you. Twenty seven tornadoes reported across Florida. These are the tornadoes that are birthed from the hurricane. They will be really destructive because they lift stuff up with the bill the debris along from Cyclone Heleane, which recently crossed the Panhandle. Get in touch by names Marcus also talking about the writing of your name and your date of birth, your next to can on your body in a market pen. I mean it's a powerful thing to say. It's pretty strong messaging. Because you're thinking of staying and defending your property, you'd think I'm out of there. No word on looting. That's always a good thing. But I think there is kind of a you know, you can't leave town. There's a curfew, is what the word I'm looking for. So you can't just go wandering and sightseeing. So yeah, how are you going? People? What's happening? So we are to talk about all manner of stuff tonight. If you want to talk about this, talk about cust the town. We are talking about the tornado on Florida. If you've got any family members there, if you've spoken to them last night. A lot of people were contacting me with a lot of details from the situation of Florida. If you've spoken to family there today or have any information about that, or any experience about Florida or hurricanes, be good to hear from you. There are other topics and you'll be aware of some of those tonight. Also, surnames, when you get involved with your mother's maiden name to make your surname. That's of interest to me. I wait ten with eighty ten eight nineteen ninety two. Detect Yeah, writing your name on your body? Wow, almost sounds like a good start for a detective story. That someone writes someone else's name on a body, and it could be quite a good plot device to start a whole plot about that. You'd be quite a might actually market that one. Be a good cal Hiason novels still alive. He used to write great crime novels based in Florida. Very good writer, mind you, the bodies would always end up in alligators. Kevin, it's Marcus. Good evening, Welcome, Hi Kevin.
Hi Marcus.
How have you bane?
Yeah?
Good?
Thanks Keivin, thanks for asking. Really good?
Oh cool cool.
Identification you mentioned or just listen to you earlier you mentioned government officials were asking people to write their names on their arms.
Yes, and the date of birth and the next of the next of and the date of birth and the next of Kenner.
Yeah.
Well, about seven eight years ago I heard over the radio where this family put got bearer chips. American family a lot of bearer trips that they put into.
Dogs by day.
What are they called? Bearer chips bear trip?
Yeah, a truck yere like an injectum. Just what the council come and uject your dog?
Could your spirit?
Could you spell that? Could you spell it? But could you spell bearer chip.
Bear will? As far as I know, it's b A R A. Okay, Well let's how that's how unspell it.
This will all be bearer chip if it's not an expression I've heard, will all be bearer chipped.
Soon the same We actually voluntee to volunteer to take these bearer chips, and as far as I know, they still have the money.
Yeah, I'm brilliant. So it's like bearer chips.
Bearer chip, yesation, Yeah, it's got your day to birds.
Could someone put somebody hang on, hang on? Could someone please help me out and tax me the spelling of beer chips because I can't find anything online about it.
I heard it seven eight years ago.
The memory was over.
There was the actually over the news. A bearer chip, yes, a bearer chip.
Yeah.
Identification bearership modern like we even have your text text number and everything, you know, your driver's license and all that sort of stuff on it. Yeah, that's a good thing. But you know that good good for identification. Well, you wouldn't need a credit card or would you know? You just put put your rust over a skinner and le's your bank card, there's your ID everything, you know, your gold card and everything.
Do you think it's bearer chip b A E R like bearer ship like the person that has it?
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
Presually spellers.
If you pronounce it good stuff given think it ge bear a chip? I d that might be what it is, beer a chip. Freak me out that about the bears at Roy Marcus.
Marcus, look a few years ago in the wire wrapper in the sand hills, the sand was wearing away at a certain direction for a long long time, and it they come across some rows of carved stones and an extra it had a look at it, and he said that they're from a Viking carved and used as ballast and a Viking ship. Now, unfortunately they didn't remove them, and what happened It got around and when they went back about a week or two later, they're all gone. Someone's probably using for a barbecue.
Are you there?
Yes?
Yeh.
Who was the expert?
Sorry, well apparently I don't know who it was, but they confess. I said, no, that's they measure it out. They're all carved to go between the ribs, and that's how they did it.
Yeah, I would, I would take I take all those stories with a grain of salt. I'm afraid Roy, do you? I absolutely do. There's always people trying to make out this pre contact that there's other groups that came here, but none of it ever pans out.
Well, I can give you, I can, I can give you some information on that. I can drop it off to you. You know, your officer in town if you like, what town, which is Wellington?
I'm not in Wellington.
Haven't you got an offer an office in Wellington?
No?
Yeah, but you had one and just at every center.
Yeah.
I think there's some amazing stories in the world, but I think the Vikings reaching New Zealand is not one of those amazing stories. That's my thing. Roy and you found and you found someone that's a so called expert that's seen someone, and then the rocks have disappeared.
Well they will be ideal for a barbecue and people would just take them because they looked, you know, so good, I'd say.
So where was this.
In the Wirappa?
So they discover stones from a Viking ship and straight up they discover that they get taken to be used as barbecue stones.
No, no, they found it is all it was left of the ship. Basically, that's all wort have survived over at a time, you know, many years. Yeah, I can send you some information, no problem, I've got information now. On forty seven other people that were.
Living here before the marry off you go, Roy, thank you.
Oh that's okay.
One off button doesn't work very well. Need to get that fixed. Oh, I couldn't say. I didn't email it, you drop it off? Goodness to me? What websites are these people?
On?
Fifteen past ten, oh e one hundred and eighty, Jen, Marcus, good evening.
Welcome, Hi Marcus.
Two things. It's just taken me about an hour to get out the courage to light my name, so yes, because we've had no power often since quarter past seven?
Is it the cab? Is it the cable or what is that?
Jen?
I don't know what it is. I can't get through to anybody to find out, and I've heard nothing on radio.
I'll see what we can. Who's your provider?
Jen?
Is it the one provider for the Holida? The island?
Mostly Victor?
Can you have a check? Dan? Can you Victor ostin Wayhick. Dan's on it, Jen, So we'll see what we can find out.
Okay, Okay, Now, my name's Jen. My mother's name is Nola, and I've never been able to get any of my children or grandchildren or great grandchildren, to be called Janola.
It was that good.
They all.
Toilet queen.
So what your Jen? And who's Nola?
My mom's Wow?
Who's the name were? It's a first name name?
Yeah?
Wow?
Okay, just as far as your power outage goes, no restoration time or no one calls at the stage, Jen. Wow, it's bad, isn't it.
I've had a cup of tea filled my hearty and I'm in beds.
So that's brilliant. Good on you, Jen, Nice to hear from you. Eighteen past ten. I think it's called a VERA chip. I couldn't work out when he was talking about a bearer chip. It's a VERA chip radio frequency identification microchip that can be ejected under the skin. Finally, vera chip. My son and family living in Orlando. High wind and heavy rain, however, power remains on secured ply over house glazing. Be expensive to buy sheets of ply to put over all your windows, and this ply there is a lot cheaper than it's about three ound bucks a sheet. Maybe they keep some in the you keep some in your in your Basely just whipp it all out and bang it on. But man, there's pretty amazing storm surges because we're not far from sunlight from the there's a bit of a what there's a bit of a gloaming? Is that the right word is that the light before the sun gloaming anyway, looks like that's happening, although it's dark before the dawn, isn't it. I like the gloamings. The other end of the day, Marcus reading about the ship that sank It was in New Zealand military sink? Am I correct? It was a New Zealand military ship? Am I correct? Well, obviously it's part of our navy. If so, I feel like the reaction to its sinking was just frustrated key he was in their anger out. Has New Zealand become less patriotic? What a stupid text? What everything sometimes happens to we have to get all outraged and try and magic up reasons it happened. In fact, I haven't heard any of that stuff. But I'm not on crazy websites. I haven't heard any of the blame or misogyny or crazy reasoning or twisted logic. There was one or two texts through the other day, but I just ignored those because it just looked you looked at if you get a text that someone says, oh it was because of this. You just look at some of the other texts they say, and most of the time they're still going on about you, Cinda. Well, that seems to me to be obvious. They've got problems with women, and they're pretty much discounts them straight away. Ah, anyway, keep it up, Marcus, Haha. I have to work with great guys like right with Roy. They are the best. Yeah, are well. They are the people that can find special knowledge that no one else has got. Fridget Spinner, Good evening, Graham, it's Marcus.
Welcome, Hi, Mascus LPG.
The cylinders. I'm pretty sure they've got two guesses in the methane and I forgot the hang on there anyway. You methane and buttane, and one severer than the other. So the bottles sit there for a long time. They do separate, but.
It burns.
It doesn't burn officially efficiently, so you've got to shake your bottle and mixing up a bit and then then she should be all right. But I'm pretty sure that that's one of the reasons for why they go a bit stale. Now, one of the other things you were talking about is you couldn't understand why you have to write your date of birth on your arm with your name. Well, if somebody's got the same name, it's easier to figure out.
Okay, Yeah, and Graham, is it you just actually literally just shake the drink that the guest bottle? Is that what you do to mix the guests? Yes, that's right, that makes sense. It's a very good explanation. So the guest is siparate, shake them together, burns cleaner, burns free. Thanks for that, Tony Marcus. Welcome, good evening.
Even Marcus has made unknowing here where it's always a great job at a great.
Broth, great motown mowing. Okay, what go for you? Motown mowing?
Just one of the touch on something I saw really tonight. Now it's to do with Dave Telly. Now he's just being stop funded from the government one hundred and seventy one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year. They used to fund him, but he used to say he said that he needed a million dollars a year. So where did he get the other seven one hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
Where does he or where did he?
Well?
Exactly I mean, well, why did the funding stop on the first place. I mean, you know, well, I think i'd gather it's because maybe he's getting affiliated. That's what I'm thinking. I think the government's trying to stop all that, don't they hang on?
I don't think he's getting affiliated, is he. I think his father had connections with the gangs, but I think he's turned his back on all that, isn't it. I don't know that he's still with that.
He is, No, no, he will apparently, no, you're not. But still he's still affiliated, isn't he's you know, he's working with the gangs. That's I think.
You see, I don't know. I don't know enough about him. I wasn't aware of that. But look, I take your point that it would be difficult for the government to make sure that to make out they're tough on gangs, to support someone that that had a more generous attitude towards the gangs. Okay, I don't. I don't fully know what involvement he has with gangs, so I'm a bit kind of unsure about that.
Yeah, well, it's kind of I mean, it's not a nice situation for him, of it, you know, for what he's trying to do. I guess, but I think it's hard. It's it's what he's after, and you know, he can carry on what the good words he's doing.
And it seems to be something that people respond to very well. So you're never quite sure. If he's gone and made that public, there's no doubt some other plans that are working, although he said he's mentally had it. I mean, the guys seemed to go from the guy seemed to do an extraordinary amount of media very quickly. He was on radio who was doing documentaries.
Yeah, he was saying, you know that he needed the funding and what's trying to get to I think, you know, someone.
On board, and for anyone that's involved in fundraising stuff like that, it does burn you out. But you know, he did seem to throw himself at one hundred things at once.
Yeah, I guess. Yeah, but Paul Bugger, Yeah over get well and things work out for him.
And it seems to be someone that has a huge amount of good you know, people seem to love him.
Yeah. Well, yeah, he's a likable guy. I guess for the atitude and what he's trying to do.
Like you just said, hang hang on just before you go. Yeah, wasn't there some suggestion that he would go into politics during the last thing that he showed some alignment with some political party.
A Yeah, I didn't know anything about that side of it, but yeah, I mean was a mental state. I doubt that's a very good idea.
And remember he fell out with the prime and I said send him a text and never got an answer back. That was on The Guy and Spin a podcast.
Remember that, Oh you're kind of vaguely yeah, yep, yeah, but well, I.
Hope the government's not playing politics with a guy that's feeding people just because of some slight Well.
I don't know you. You probably know old Moldine Son better than I do. I call him Moldine Funny.
Looks like, yeah, you're talking about lax and our leader. Yeah, I mean I met I met him once on a flight from from Ukland and the cargo.
Have you seen genuine ah?
You know what I mean?
Did he seem genuine when you were talking or do you like, let's be clear, I wasn't.
Talking, right, Yeah, what were you talking about? Whatever?
I wasn't talking, I was he was just he was just telling me about Yeah, yeah, maybe I'll say that maybe I'll save that for the book. But it wasn't a two way conversation. It's just put it that way.
Okay, when the books are.
Good question Tony, thank you? Oh oh yeah, okay. I think Dave la Telly has texted. So that's what I've understood that's happened. It says, I'm not getting I'm not getting affiliated all, Dave Latilly here, I run youth programs, prison programs, mums and bubbs programs, health programs, all that continues. Appreciate the support team so and look, with his good will, I'm sure they'll be well. Let's hope the other funding available for him. But thanks for the text, Dave. I appreciate it. Marcus went, do you be fort in West Augland's great to see so many happy people. Wow, they keep going. Ah, they go and they go and they go and they go. Must be forty years, must be forty five years. Thinks of us are two of news even twenty times this kind of new a news story about a new fortnightly Auckland rubbish trial. To be fair with you, I've lost track about what happens with council and rubbish. It's never consistent. They're always trying something new, so I don't know why they're doing twice a fortnightly collection. It's a trial for ten thousand households. I don't know if they're trying to collect the rubbish less or what's going on. It's all about zero waste. Raphael Nadal has confirmed his retirement date and a shock announcement today just this is just breaking news. The Spanish icon is considered one of the greatest ever to play the game, and by some the best of all, but as shop fans by confirming he will soon hang up his racket for good. Nadal thirty eight, posted an emotional video on his social media account, announcing his decision, reflecting on a career that was longer and more successful than I could have ever imagined. To try to look at a date when that happens. Struggled with fitness, of course, you would be. You're thirty eight, your hamm me, your body. Don't entirely know when that is, but that's a situation for him. He's going to go retire, So there you go. Free judgmental email from you, Marie, but thanks for that. I won't read it. I've read it. I won't read it out loud. Marcus. I know what, Donald McDonald, they must have been a really close family. That's right. People have made that comment, Marcus. The UK TV show called Homes in the Sun I think, showed several people buying in Florida. Wonder how they are in our Cindy Well, I wonder how these people are going to cope when you get extly hurricanes like this three times a year and you've got to pack everything up and go ian it's going to be and welcome to the future. I don't want to be overly negative, but it's unsustainable because every temperature, every one degree it warms up, these things double in intensity, so cheapest, Dean Marcus, welcome.
Yeah mate. The fortnightly rubbish collections in Brookland the trial, yes, thank you? Yeah yeah. So what that's about? Are you aware that some parts of Auckland have to put it rubbish tags on there?
I know West Auckland did. And this is from the older pre amalgamation.
Is that right?
Oh it's still the case and also South Auckland.
Yeah okay yeah.
And the idea behind it, I'm not for or against it. The idea behind it was it was to save waste and you know, save the money on their rates back before the supercity.
That's right, Okay, so their rates the rates are cheaper because you're not paying for rubbish collection.
Yep, okay, yeah, well yeah, that's right. So they have to put the tags on and in the north Shore for a while it was yet to put the rubbish bags out rather than the bins. But the downside to that when you have to pay for it, there's a lot more trash on the streets, yes, because you have to pay for collection. You know, renters, you know arm rendo, don't get me wrong, but you see a lot more garbage on the sides of the streets.
And f call it people just dumping and running yet.
Yeah, you to see the flight to things. It's a rendered And so what they're trying to do to save people paying more in rates as a supercity. I'm not a fan of the super city, don't get me wrong, but they're trying to save costs to stop people's rates going up. Like they haven't Wellington, like they haven't the need but they haven't christ Jick and so that's okay, Look, maybe you can do it once th be two weeks now some families can't do with the Towo lucally rubbish collection they need every week, then they've got to pay a bit. For other people like me, you can do with one every two or three weeks.
And is that with that?
With is that with bins or bags?
Bins?
Okay? Is it bins a good size to last for two weeks?
It depends on the size of your family. But if you're on your own, you get a red one, which is you know, the garbage, and the blue one, which is recycling. The blue one's much bigger, like twice the size of the red one. And you know, some people need to put there every week, some people every four weeks. If you were the whole whole point is is that if you're putting more out, you maybe have to pay for it or have your rate.
To go up.
Yeah, okay, And this is just a trial for ten thousand homes. It's not a change, So just going to see if it works or not.
I think, I think, I think again already indicated they're going to roll it out because they've done it. I've done it in many other places and they've already indicated, well not indicated, they're saying they're going to do it in South Auckland and behind the scenes. I think it's the case of don't what all the flights have been going on? It happens all the time in these areas. In South Aukland in particular. I forget who it was. It doesn't matter who it was.
Sorry, I'm going to go dem right on news, but thanks for the call. It is world porridge day. Porridge is good for a while, then it becomes boring. Every year I have a porridge session that lasts about three months. But there you go. It always ends up tasting them. It's samey, samey, getting touch mark is till twelve Laurie, Welcome.
Hi Machus.
Yeah.
By touching on a couple of slightly different subjects, although sort of related, read again this tale of the hurricane that hit some are in eighteen eighty nine at about which actually sunk.
Four of those.
Naval ships, you know, the two of the Germans and two of the American ones.
Yeah, and and what ship didn't that sink?
The Calliope?
And why did you think the Calliope because.
Westport cole Or.
Yeah, we grew up on that Story's.
Tend to forget, but actually it's quite ironic now that so many other naval ships have been sunk in somehow, and it wasn't really wartime, you know, there was more a or possibly a face off, a bit of an error in some respects that quite dramatic. The hurricane that actually hit some are and I mean it's quite relevant also that some of those actually hit the reef. It's one particular German one, the old I think it was because with the coral reefs, they they overhang and that particular ship there's then so there's a big cavern sort of in underneath, and apparently that one got sided on and driven inside the reef and then with a big swell it ended up getting pushed down and then coming up and that it it got crushed and immediately sort of took on water and all hands were lost.
You know, and a matter of sounds horrific, lost and kind of crushed and coral sounds horrible.
Well pretty much dround. But the boat got crushed and the pretty much drowned. You know. I think they had about fifty people bore that one.
Ha ha, hang on, Lauria, I was get you to back up the truck. We're talking. We're talking, so and eighteen eighty eight. Why were there so many vessels there was that during some sort of conflict.
There was a conflict between the Germans and the American or more to do with the settlers that had sort of landed there, you know, German plantation owners who sort of sided with one one particular chief Samoan chief tamas Isi, and and then there was the other guys who sort of favored the American plantation folks who sided with what was his Madatha, about six thousand people. So yeah, there was a sort of like almost a civil war going on between a proxy war between two large groups of Samoans and one Sarma Citi's side was being sponsored by the Germans, who were regarded as trouble makers. So anyway, the warships ended up there to sort of supposedly resolve the problem. They're going to sort it out, and the British ship arrived. They were almost like an observer basically, but there was supposedly going to be a conference in Europe to decide the colonial powers that were dividing up certain parts of South Pacific at the time. And uh so that was.
I feel I need to read what is there a book that you read about that or you just studied at more Debt.
There was a book which was around some years ago. It used to be called The Storm that Stopped the War. I have never been able to find again, but at last I've just been reading online lately the account of the American Admiral and then also the account of the captain of the Calliope, and the accounts of people are sure. Yeah, but what was amazing with the when they all ships first to arrive before the hurricane, they had managed to anchor reasonably well in arp your harbor. There has been a whole lot of silt and stuff actually in the harbor itself, and they thought they're reasonably safe. But when the when the cyclone had had come in from the north, and I mean there was an enormous amount of wave action, but that was compounded by there's two rivers that flow into up your harbor. Were you know they it was because of the company with the hell of a lot of rain, the Advising Arno and the Mulivai River, And they entered into the harbor and churned everything up, and all the silt and everything that on the bottom of the harbor got washed out, and so all the all the anchors were just dragging along on beer coral and the ships were you know, dragging around the harbor, banging into each other. I mean, I think the trends in the American one that didn't get that had four anchors out all the other German ones. There was a couple of other more private ships as well. And apparently in the end when they tried to I think the Clive see it managed to because it managed to get out of the harbor in the middle of a storm. It only went out to see for a couple of days and it came back in again and you know, there's a scene of complete destruction, but it came in and wanted to pick up its anchor plus a couple of extra boats, and it wanted some extra extra coll uh to get back to Australia was based at those days.
Is this an event that's that's on it or recognized and up here? Is it a big deal?
There?
Is it a forgotten thing?
Not?
Possibly a bit forgot. This part of the old Eddler, which was the German ship, is and shown as part of a monument on the reclamation there. I think it is these days it had been enhanced a bit more now I was there, there wasn't much, you know, it was it was still visible, but it hadn't been signposted that much. But I think a bit more don't been done now. I think the issued a set of set of stamps one hundred years later. It might have been nineteen eighty nine.
And Lurry the folklore from the coast as the coal was so good. You could get it burning an up to heat much quicker than the other coal, that's how good it was. It had saved the Calliope. That became kind of a legendary story on the coast. I think that was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah much, yeah, very much.
Yeah, because it only had it could barely get I think it was trying saying about, well, I reckon the equivalent about fifteen knots, but it was only making about one night against the storm and the doom ship the trend and that was sided. It had to fit between that and the reef. They could actually they reckon. They could almost lean out and shake the hands of the doom sailors that were going to be left behind. And apparently, you know, there was a lot of interaction they there was you know, there was cheering going on. There was sort of there's been regard as one of the great heroic events, got poems written about it. Even old you know what's his name Banjo Pedison from Australia wrote about fifty and.
Where was the heroism? The heroism was about the calliope?
Was it?
Yeah? Yeah, and that and and the facts that they were, you know, making a go for it, and that they were being supported by these poor buggers that were sort of on the doom ships sort of going to be left behind here.
How many people died.
About one hundred and well, one hundred and fifty or so, Yeah, mostly German that yeah, the number of Americans. I think that was the number of gen he quoted. Yeah, but yeah, no, it was an amazing event when you when you come to read about, well.
The Banjo Patterson songs Goodbye the Far Summer and sure where the League Long Roller is, pour all the wash of the Pacific on the coral guarded bay, riding lightly at their ease in the calm of tropical seas, goes on and on. It's quite a story.
It's probably sort of like the Gordon Lightfoot of.
It is.
It is the record the ev Infans jerial.
Isn't it does it?
Does it? Mention Westport Cole.
No, it doesn't. I don't think of that one. No, that's story you go to hand in the New Zealand stuff to find out.
Yeah, yeah, oh well, very interesting, Laurie. Thank you. Always like a bit of maritime history. That's my thing. Marcus. I got mates, mostly males that would never lend their barbecue out least of all anyone else cook on their pride and joy. Yeah, that's right, because if people don't clean their barbecue's a refill the gas, that's kind of you're off the list. Marcus. If the barbecue you borrow it is dirty, do you return it dirty or do you take the higher road and retrut it all cleaned? You always clean it no matter what you borrow, you always return it in a better state car for the gas barbecue, clean it for the gas bottle. Sleeping bag trick question. You never lend your sleeping bag. Got quite strong views about lending a sleeping bag. I'm not into this sheared bedding, although I'm going to get a new sleeping bag without a zip. That's the future. You know that, don't you, Lighter Yep, it's more a Dona story searching the brands Marcus. Mother's maiden name is Lee, and it's my brother's middle name, Marcus. Listening to you while I'm standing up by my beard, rotating hips trying to ease seat. I love your program. Thanks missus grumpy. I don't really know what the pain is, but i'd say that hopefully I never know, but thank you. What else should you? What are the other rules of lending stuff? You've got to watch out for a lot of these people that have done these self help courses, because it's just they're not scared to ask to borrow stuff. I'm not a borrower. I've got a dim view of borrowers. Okay, just borrow this? Well, no, but if I'm a borrower, and it bear in mind, it's normally not me that's doing them borrowing. But yeah, this quite. You clean the car you put full of up with guests, the barbecue, you clean it, you put I think what the other rules of borrowing are? What are the other things you might you borrow someone's house, like stay in their crib. I don't know what the rules of that are, but you clean it anyway. That could be a good topic. I should started earlier for that topic, the rules of borrowing. You might send a few texts of that through return whatever you borrowed, replace it if damaged. Your lost trend it is your own. Don't ask to borrow things that are new. It's probably a fairly good thing about borrowing, the etiquette of borrowing. Got to tell you a lot of friendships end over borrowing. Ask with plenty of notice, pick up the item at the lender is convenience, return promptly with a thank you note, and then you don't sub lend it either. Yeah, I'm big on borrowing borrowing etiquette, Marcus. Have you seen a dou valet a bed and sleeping bag in one? Mars? Can you tell us why the navy didn't put out a wool boom to catch the oil and the sinking? There seems to be nothing?
Who am I?
I'm not the inquiry. Have they got a wool boom? Is there still time for the wool boom? We're talking about lending the rules of lending and lending books and would you lend a book? Would you lend a DVD?
Oh?
There's are very good questions. People. Marcus is an old saying this is true? As the words never a borrow lender be so go buy or rent the tools you need regards Kiev. Yeah, but it's also about community and helping people out. So I think there's a good side to lending. There's a generous side to lending. But it's a different side to borrowing. There are two different actions. I think that's my take on it. You know, we'll reconsider that keeper calls at least some calls goes three eight pass the never come on. Let's hear from you, Marcus. When someone gives me food and a dish, I always give the dishback clean and return un with fruit or baking. Wow. It can be tricky with food because you don't know people's dietary needs, if they're diabetic or not, and it's not polite to us. It's a good point. What's the thing that what's the thing that you can give back that just marmalade? What's the something that everyone with any dietary needs can have? What would that be? What is the food that transcends dietary needs? Can't answer that. Let my car out once, never again, burnt clutch out. My part had to pick it up from the Wellington motorway, then refuse to fix pay for it. Sharon Wellington. Someone sent it to oh water is the water is the thing for people with dietary problems or dietary needs. Our high halger Atsmarcus good evening.
Oh hi hi.
I went to night at school and ort owned and was learning Spanish, and of course I had to buy a textbox from the book shop there. So I bought an eighty dollar book with a CD in it, and I did my two lots parcels. And then a few years later our friend was learning well, she wasn't a close to the lady. I knew she was learning Spanish. She borrowed it, it never came, she never gave it back, and she moved. So you know, I don't lean anything anymore.
But I don't listen. Was it Did Spanish work out for your helga?
Yes?
I went to Peru twice so I to use it, and when I meet people in the sleeter on the bus, I can speak. But Peru good, oh beautiful. I've been to Marchi.
Pizzo Oh cheap as Okay, people love that, don't they? Yeah, and pish Peru's Spanish not Portuguese.
Yes, there don't be.
Okay, okay, thank.
You lovely, how thank you? Marcus grandfather said, never leand wife while itt or watch you. I knew those were coming. Never end or borrow swimsuits, Rachelle. I've been to Habna without a swimsuit and I've borrowed them. I don't mind I borrowed swimsuit. Where else do I borrow swimsuits? Are Mowanna? Paul's kids couldn't believe it. Just borrow some. I think the kids borrowed some as well. Actually, never end a chainsaw. Offer to do the job for them and steer. That's a very good point. Never end a chainsaw. Marcus once brought a sledge hammer from a mate's father. He said I didn't have to return it, and that he was old and he wouldn't use it again. To this day, I called the hammer Frank in his honor. Marcus grandfather said, never lend wife while it'll watch to come through twice. It's a good e, Marcus. I broke my own ruleer and let my carpet cleaning machine to a work colleague. When I went to use it about two months, I discovered they had returned it broken without mentioning it never again? Who owns her own carpet cleaning machine. I'd never let another woman borrow my lipstick. Oh that that was all that powder room sort of sisterhood a girlfriend. Here you go, girlfriend thought that was the way. That's what I went to. Path the lipstick around shows how much I know Terry welcome Marcus.
Yeah, Marcus, I borrowed my new weedy. Oh you know weed sprayer?
Oh yeah, like we need to or a sprayer like a pump.
She wanted.
She wanted to. She wanted to kill the weeds around a place because hey, she had a fiction with brand new and the Lea the Order and had a month later.
I said that, Hey, always awkward.
He always awkward.
Yeah, it was awkward.
Da said, can I have my wi?
Okay? We had a clean out and the kids threw that with rubbish by mistake. Wow, I said, you're.
Killing that's rude.
Hey, that's rue because you sound pretty laid back. But that's that's tough.
You know what they say.
You know what they say, Marcus, Oh sorry dead, Wow, that's what happens.
Fancy not replacing and not getting a new one and not mentioning in it.
You know, between us Marys and Islanders, we always want to borrow lawnmows. Why is that, Marcus?
Why is that?
I'm going to plead the Fifth I'm going to plead the Fifth Amendment on that. I'm not going to make a comment because what can I? What can I? It's a packing I say, that's gonna, that's gonna.
What do you say?
I want to say no.
I want to say no, But I'm like Marcus.
It's probably a good thing. It's probably a very good sign that you're prepared to leand each other your lawnmowers. That's what I would say. Made me laugh. Terry think that's funny. That's it for me. People, Oh off into the eye of the storm. Gee. I enjoyed that. And what do I enjoy the most? If you want to enjoy the most? I was laughing, certainly about something in the first hour. I can't remember anymore. It's want Julian to get his trailer, the story of the lost trailer. I'm loving that. That sounds like a Banjo Patterson song.
