You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News talks'd be gritting's welcome.
How are you?
My name is Marcus hid on Midnight to No. I'll keep you up there with the rugby and the league. They're both on here. It'll twelve. That's a brief. There's flooding. This road's closed. Over it, No, not over it, across it. Fancy me saying I'm over it. I'm across that south. There's weather updates. You'll tell me, I'll tell you. I'll also go to the website of Waka Kotahi and let you know what's going on. Oh yeah, so there's a diversion. There's a wakakata heav it ends heed Ta if you like.
But there's a situation with a diversion. I'll bring all the details about that. You might be a truck driver, yeah, get in touch if you are. If you've got details about this. It's across the comiss the major closure. That's because of cold. Weare the cold snap snap, cold snap down the country. So here's what we've got. I'll look clicking it on it now as we talk. Duro slip Stato twenty nine is closed with Statoe. We had Tapoi and Statoy six ton Eco indeed two it is in place.
Please allow at least an extra ninety minutes time. I don't like how to tell you how how much you should allow, but it's fair. It's probably what they should be doing. So you gonna go around de la Harmurana round that way, I think probably, or Keddy falls that's the way. That's the diversion that I'll be affecting some of the truckers also coming up and down the country. Thank you for your service. Bang Mother's Day Sound Sunday. Sometimes on Mother's Day, before a Mother's Day, I like
to do a Mother's Day related topic. No idea tonight what that topic is. I might crowdsource it. If you think you've got a great topic about mother's Oh yeah. I always like to go kind of for the worst mother and those sorts of stories. However, when I'm saying things like the worst mother's story, one of their mother told you that, you know, if you need that, you'd end up. I don't want terrible, terrible mother stories because
they're tragic. So yeah, I'm wanting a topic that can celebrate the diversity of motherhood, but not be too depressing on a Friday. That's just a suggestion. So if you want to there, if you want a crowdsource the Mother's Day topic takes that through to me or call it, and also to as far as the weather, you've got the updates on that currently. Let me know what's happening with the weather where you're after there as flooding. It's kind of quite a floody time because all the autumn
leaves are clogging up the drains. Don't get me started on autumn leaves. I hate them, hate how naked the trees look in winter, and I don't like I don't like leaves on the ground, wet leaves, don't like them at all. Makes the whole city looks like it needs sweeping. Am I alone on that? Perhaps, So don't get me started on the trees we plant. But yes, that's why it floods because all the drains are full full. So you might want to say something about that. God, I'm
here for that, brilliant let's be hearing from you. Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty and nine to nine two to text. We've got the drewer versus the blues. Blues are leading we've also got the Knights and the Titans. The Knights are up to nil all sellar dwellers. Also the Rabbits and the Broncos. Later on today also too, we've got this Cosmos four eight two which is about to re enter. That's just space junk. It's pretty amazing story, that one. It's been a new orbit for more than
fifty years. The Venus Lander, so I was designed to go to Venus. And because of that, because it was meant to go to Venus, it's built tough. It was built to survive the passage through to Venus, so it might survive reentry. It might get through the atmosphere intact. Now that's it exciting that hits you on the head, you'll know about it. It'll come at your front angle, I suppose. So it won't hit you on the head,
would it? Would it hit you on the head, probably hit you on the Torso wouldn't hit you on the head, would it? Ah, it could. It's more likely to hit you side on. So this unit that's got a blog about it says, I doubt it will be a hard impact because the parachute, the parachute deployment system probably won't work after fifty three years because the batteries are dead. So it's gonna be quite exciting on its way down. It didn't get to Venus, it didn't get out of it.
If it's basic orbit, they kind of orbit around the Earth before they jettison off. Yeah, so it's been dragging around there for years, fifty years. It's coming back to Earth the next day or two. Time's up Cosmos for this could be a big story. I'd like to hear what Trump's going to say about it, Bob Marcus welcome.
Yeah, not on the subject of flooding and that. But I just thought, you know that my friend is down in the Antarctica with the New Zealand Army and believe it or not, the plane's broken down and they can't return.
Is that one of the new ones is.
They're stuck down there. There's been they were supposed to make on Thursday. You know, they're trying to get past today, but that didn't happen either. So but so not out was in the next three weeks. They don't get out because it's winter.
Oh wow, And that's okay, And they won't get out because there won't be the visibility. It's not that the because I think they've got a landing strip that's on the ice that should be fine. But yeah, okay, that's interesting.
Yeah, yeah, So I don't know great deal about it, but I know that because it's my my daughter's husband. I mean, he couldn't get home. The other subject quickly was you know how the government's making all these cuts on everything. I hope, like here they don't turn around and ask for a pay rise this year because they do all hell breaking.
That's a very good point. Hey, just back to the army. Do you know what they would were there?
Well, this is the other bulls up. They went down to do some engineering where because he's an engineer. But when they got there, that job wasn't set up or available to go. So they ended up chopping line our floors and relaying the liner and the thing that's what they went down to do didn't happen.
That's crazy because you think to say, hey, don't come down, we haven't got the work ready for you in time. Sorry out there, Maybe come down next year. That's terrible.
They're going to go back down and do the job. But because they're engineering experts or whatever they are, he ended up chopping line of a accommodation thing with a spade getting.
Ready to be related.
What a waste.
Yeah, they could have sent me down to do that.
Oh yeah, I quite like to get a spade underliner. That's probably quite satisfying. So they're supposed to be come back Thursday. The part hasn't arrived.
And they're not quatching when they're coming back now, yeah.
Because I would imagine the challenge would be planes lending. They're not planes taking off there. But it's one of the new it's one of those new American hercules, a the new ones that's gone down.
Okay, it's broken down already. It's ridiculous.
This ridiculous, Bob. That's good and tell thanks. So that's breaking news here people. If anyone else knows anything about that, let us know. And we want your mother's stay topic for tonight. Thank you, Marcus. How come we cannot get candy floss like we used to? I think we can. I'm sure we get candy floss. People are mad for it. It's all over the internet. People doing different colored stuff. They have plenty with a state hurry. Ninety nine clothes
because of a slip warm and eighteen degrees. Every rain will lesson northerly turning west. Thank you, get in touch. Hittle twelve. So someone said there's long delays on State Highway one. I don't quite know what they are. If you've got some Oh that was at seven o'clock, Cody Marcus, welcome, Hey.
Last caller there talking about there's obviously it's about the weather, but talking about flying to Antarctica with the American planes. What does he mean by that exactly?
Oh, I mean like there's no planes on.
Standby to go to Antarctica at the moment.
I can assure you're that.
So New Zealand replaced. Did we not replace our hercules with brand new kind of hercules recently?
Yeah?
We did. Yeah, yeah we did. I fly them.
Ok we don't know any planes really go Antarctica at the moment. We don't fly down in the winter. And Okay, there might have be an American one sitting in christ Church.
Ready to go something. But it's certainly not easy on one. Our ones are good to go. We're not flying down there again until October this year.
There's not one down there currently.
No, No, there's nothing.
There's three and I say there's four in New Zeland and one on the way back from Europe all in awkand sorry, would it.
Be one of the Americans?
Must be I don't know what flies they called there to see.
Secular?
Would that be on flight radar?
Not?
If it's a plation, that would be.
But I don't think anything really flies down at this time of year. And this is the MIDI back.
Well that's what he said. They're supposed to come back and they haven't, so there might be one down there were supposed to come back yesterday. Would that be right?
It's pretty late in the season.
Yeah, we sort of.
We go from about October to March, and that's about as late as we go because then to daylight.
If he said his daughter's husbands down there, he will be down there. They want if he's in the army.
Yeah he could be.
Yeah, they do send a lot of cappin, doesn't it down there.
He's an engineer, just so he must have gone down on some plane and there must be some plane. If there's a plane.
Down, I just want to do that. It's not a New Zealand one that the broken in the ad.
Yeah, I appreciate it's important, Cody. I appreciate you clarity on that. Thank you, that's no nonsense, and that's good. Thank you, that's great. So it's not a key. We plane if anyone knows anything more about what it will be. John Marcus, good evening, Hello Marke.
This is probably a bit of trivia. But Mother's Day. I was talking to my fifty seven year old son today and I said, now, what are you going to do for your mother on Mother's Day? He said, well, I don't know, and I said, well, you'd better buy some flowers. He said, I know, I'll do a sand saucer. No, now have you can you remember doing a sand saucer?
Was he being ironic?
He was being it.
Had a few.
Drinks, I think, what but I'd still think he will do a sand saucer.
He sounds like a good He sounds like a good he sounds like a good sword.
Yeah he is.
But his mother's in hospital. So he's going to take the sand saucer to the hospital on Monday to give it to his mother.
I've never done one. I've kind of gotten no idea what they are. But you just kind of put flowers in sand. What's the point.
No, do you mean you've never heard of one?
Marcus, Well, it was not something I did in my day.
In my day, well back in the day, at every A and P show, they would have a section in the in the show where you could enter a competition and for the best sand saucer, and every child in the district would enter a sand saucer, and it was usually a pudding plate fall of sand, and you'd have a big flower in the middle, and you'd have little flowers radiating up from that that all had to be very uniform, and round the outside there would be front
little fronds of ferns. Now, I'm sure there are a few listeners tonight that I'm hoping I'm sort of.
With you.
Yeah, so it was it was like entry level floral arrangement, but easier and I suppose easy to transport.
Oh yes, yes, And I don't know, it's just that you were talking about Mother's Day and then my son ranged me and and he mentioned sand sources, and I thought, oh, I'm sure Marcus's listeners. Yes, So it's just a little bit of trivia for you.
She is your wife, your son's mother. Is she the sort of person that will be coming out of hospital quite soon?
Oh?
Oh yes, no, no, she's she's got cancer and it's in her spine.
It sounds that sounds like a really tough thing, doesn't No.
No, No, she's she's she's had It started off with breast cancer in two thousand and then we were fine for about seventeen years, and that flared up again in twenty sixteen, and okay, it's got progressively worse. But she needed to go to hospital to get things sorted away bit with different medications and things. But now she is in Nurse Mord. Oh, yes, yes, and they're marvelous. She's in there for two weeks. They call it respite care.
I think it's the cares more for me than for her because I've been her caregiver for the last sixty years. But no, no, she'sn't really lapping up her stay in Nurse Mord. But on Sunday, my twenty seven year old sun David, he's going to take her a sad saucer loving that.
Okay, we'll talk more about those, John, So that's a good way to talk. Well that, thank you for that. Twenty eight Oh gosh, Newcastle Fording over the Gold Coast Titans. That's the situation. I bring a score on the Brugby with the Blues too. Also before too long. It's just moments away gone Ben than I thought tonight actually factually Kettle twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome, We've got thunder warming at thunder warnings for everywhere. Basically it's going to
come down like it's never come down before. Get in touch, as I say, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine text Marcus driving from Cambridge to Papamagus. Just got to the top of the Camos, turned around by the police seid the slipp has washed out the entire road. By the way, there's a checkpoint outside the Northern today too. If you're in a vcago. Very pleasant officer got me to count from one to ten, which I did. You don't mis surround those sorts of situations, do you, anyway?
Kerrie Marcus welcome.
Hey, the Ross markers say, I'm driving this jolly bus through five and to rote To and then back down to Warrington. So sound of it.
Are you driving the intercity?

Make them a way through stay high five through the Monakers say, should be into routed and then from there out of Rope to her through Why Tapu through to through to topor ran about called past eleven just out of Roade, so ten but rough, isn't it?
Are you down in Baker? Just down?
So I'm coming down. I'm actually on the why Cutter Expressway at the moment. Wait, do you tune around Hamilton.
Once you get to Topa, do you tune around and come back?
No?
No, no, So I'll go to Tope and then I'll just carry on on State Hillway one, making my way down to Warrington for drop off at a half out.
Six okay in the morning, because I didn't think that inter city went today. Is that standard or is it just something.
Smare on the night run Marcus, we do all stops, we do we do all stops, so we go into all the main stops like Hamilton, Topa, Arms, the north Men Inwrington, all stops in between. So this is the only run at night that we do all the stop.
I just always thought it never. I just never thought it went today. I just always thought it went through Hamilton, Hamilton, Topell that way.
Yeah, Manday, it's a long Yeah, that's a long cruise.
Okay, well, look, we'll keep your data with So it's raining heavily, now, is it.
No, not really like a little bit of a drivel. But what I'll do, Marcus is I'll give you a call before twelve o'clock and how I went on you.
Let me know, keep us updated and Marcus, send sources a lovelier country school thing. Some are very pretty, Marcus. My mom loves you. Used to listen every night. She passed away last October, aged eighty seven. I'm fifty for my first Mother's Day without mother, without mum. Very sad. And then there's a there's an emoji of her face with water pouring out of the eyes removing very moving back at your thunder warning for all of it. Well, some of the North Islands sort of. I went to
the were down Toyong. I don't to know that area. It moves south from about eight forty. This is about to happen in about ten minutes. It's going to hit your big people. Evening, Spike, Marcus.
Welcome, hey, Marcus, good even how are you good?
Thank you, Spike. Nice to hear from you.
Good good, hey you.
I'm just on my way back from the Toner on to road, the rover where I live and the rode from the Prematorium to piece Pass School. There's pretty much underwater when I came through there about twenty five minutes ago. And you've got a job to see the white lines and the caps eyes on it.
You think it should you think it should be closed.
I gotta go careful, So I think by now I've just got to Nongataha and there's a little bit of rain but nothing major. But there's a bit of surface flooding there just outside the new building development and you were hit a few patches of water across the road and then obviously it's over the top of the car and you can't see anything. So yeah, it's gonna be honest way, I think, so.
Just to I don't know the geography that well, you're on State Highway thirty six down from pies Par Is that right, that's correct?
Yeah?
And where you you didn't know where orapy was. That's a little side road that takes you from just before you get to pies Par and loops around and comes out at Redder Park Golf Club just economy.
Of I can see that now. So where was the bed funding is the crematorium just as you get to pies par Is.
It it is.
Yeah, there's a long straight road from the Pies Pass school, yeah to the crematorium. Yeah, and that was that was pretty well flooded, you know, all running down and every so often there's water across the road and you can't see it until you're on forty K's.
Any sign of the emergency services?
Nothing, No, not as yet.
Okay, so there's been one slash, one smash there just coming into Nongata on the oh, there's a hairpin bend right on the corner of Nonga Taha and there's a car that's pretty wrecked white when I can't see what it is.
But yeah, so just to get this right, it was raining quite heavily at pies Pa, but at long A Taha not as bed now, but it's on its way, Is it what you suspect?
I think?
So, yeah.
I just she just about coming into.
Road a ruin now.
And it's very little brain, but.
It has been here.
And I think it's coming. I think it's coming back in half an hour, really heavily spike. That's according to the sudden warning from the mid Service. So you stand by people I'll check the road closes. It's not closed, but you well you want to be avoiding driving tonight round that part of the country twenty one away from nine Ben Marcus welcome, Hey, Bray.
I'm sorry I mistapped to show because I've been watching the Blues and the Drew.
How's the scorn?
The score is not how good I was opening to be. I thought the Drew would win against Steves follows that home. But it's thirty four to the Blues and it's zero to the drewer and super so not good. Not good for us who say people down here down south.
Oh, I see, you're just you're just supporting the Drawer for selfish, your own reason.
I got one eye.
I've got one eye on it and the other eye on well. I should be on news to ZP. But you know, how'd it go? Hey? Talking to rain? Though I heard the followed before you. Yeah, man, we hear the rain today down here. And this is after me feeling for my plants and giving them a bit of a water last night, thinking it wasn't going to rain today.
It's been so good after the big old flood and then next minute ten o'clock this morning, I was a working smoke o time, and my work colleague said, hey, your window cars are down and it's starting to spit. So I was quite happy for him. I really appreciate him. But he had about four o'clock when I was starting to bug her off. It's just absolutely absolutely like, yeah,
chi leat God. And here it was a big old down for And then when I was driving home, yeah, windows on, window workers on speed too, and and looking at headlights on what sort of plant?
What sort of plants?
Ben, Well, I've got some brussels.
I'm growing Brussels sprout. I know it's a bit late in the season, but and we've had it. We we had one frost. All my tobacco plants have put them away because yeah, they don't like the frosts. But the Brussels sprouts. I'm doing Brussels sprouts because because I hated them as a kid and love them as in the O and because my kids hate them. So I'm gonna I'm gonna be the nasty father. It's going to feed them to you.
Can you can threaten them and say these are I've gone to all the effort to homegrow these. You should eat them.
This is you know, absolute guilt, guilt.
Them into it. Being good on your nineteenth away from nine not happening severe thunderstorms on their way. People. She's all on, it's going to be a big deal. It's happening very soon. Thirty four zero. The blues over the draw a free wet and if it is that super free wet, there two people. Marcus. My mother used to tell me when I was a kid to put my head in a draw. The woodpecker is coming.
What does that mean?
Put your head in a draw? The woodpecker's coming. What a great expression. What does that mean? Marcus? Come along to the way. Kay a school pet Dawn october To said, great display of sand sauces graded by children and judged by senior local ladies. Cheers rowing Southland, marcause I made a beautiful sand saucer with a broken mirror for a
pond for primary school. By the time I got to school that was ruined by the Wellington wind Gavin Canterbury Those who notice hees no longer in Wellington after his sand saucer was destroyed. I like the word. It sounds like a heavy metal song, does it. Sand saucer kind of cross between sorcerer and sandstorm. I wonder when I can tell a call of that. Put your head in a draw, the wood pickers coming. Once that tonight, But one day I'll say that, put your hidden the draw,
the wood pickers coming. How are you people? What's happening? There are flight disruptions, always flight disruptions. There is surface flooding and white our road. Videos on social media showed cars moving through the water. Get amongst people eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine to detext kind of a mating footage on Daily Mail, one of the Fox News presenters has tipped over mid mid sentence. Cameron Kinsey feely shocking looking footage of that. The other host
didn't handle it well either. I'm not entirely sure what would cause someone to do that anyway. Head of mid night, Manames Marcus, Welcome Marcus. I'm and cowodo in the eastern Bay of Plea. The rain is horrendous, so bad I cannot ring as I can hardly hear you on the radio. Similar to the night the night Mata tarfla. That's from Die. You take care Die. It's nice to take care Die, Nice to have you listening. Die there's no if there
is any flooding people. By the way, I heard earlier on coming to work that someone was saying that Starship Hospital had flooded. And then I thought, wow, I remember when that building was so new. We probably had a new Starship Hospital, because it must be thirty years old. And then I thought, and don't judge me on this, but I can't help it it and I thought, what a stupid name for hospital. Marcus. I was watching Fox this afternoon when that happened. She went all vague and
just fell off her chair. That's right. I don't know what that would be about, tipped over. But the co host didn't handle it all well. He completely panicked, clearly. Just he's not just an autoque jockey. Some of you might find this interesting, but in China they think that they are going to be able to use artificial intelligence
to work out what cats are saying. So, yeah, they're gonna get all the data and chuck into the machine, and they reckon it might be they might be able to translate at cat's mews into human language using artificial intelligence. They've ever filed a patent, and they will convert animal vocalization into words yep. Do you want your cat talking to you? I don't have a cat, but they can be pretty persuasive around food, can't they. Well, language is
just gonna make them are persuased. That would be my gut feeling on that one. I don't know if you want your cat to talk to you? Would you? If you want any animals talking to you, really get in touch. Hittle twelve one him as Marcus. Welcome Matt from Willington. Marcus. The algorithm for thirst aid is doctors abcdd D for danger, are for response is for send for help. That's your doctors, airways, breathing CPR. Can't remember the last two might be you
for a refresher, Marcus. What side of the kaimis is the miror of Todonga on exactly? I didn't rememberviewed on the radio and they asked about where he was living, and he did that thing where the phone went bad. Sorry, breaking up more about this co host on Fox. No, he did front flinch. He freaked out totally, but he panicked and just didn't want to do He kept pretning on. But when what is a ghost? Someone rushed away from the side. He suddenly composed himself and went to a break.
Marcus rhythm total right now makes last week's so called cycline looked like a sunshower. Anyway, a lot of people are offering me free first aid courses. I've done it twice. It was a lot, and someone's texted me meow too, thank you for that. It'd be interesting too. If they do get the cats to talk, they could bring up talk back. Yeah is that you Tiger? Hi?
Marcus?
Long time listen the first time caller. Oh, I can't wait for that. Never thought of that. I or cat's ringing out the radio. That's not on the list of things I thought would happened to talk back. Next Tuesday's Cat Night, we'll just be talking to cats, mind you. I suppose if the cats can talk and bring up and talk back, they would also host the show, couldn't they. Yeah, that'll be the thing that were cheap to employ. I would imagine. Yeah, that's right, Marcus, we'll let you go.
You found someone else here we have Actually it's a cat. Good luck with that.
Anyway.
I don't think cats could talk, would they.
Are?
They have more chance of the whales talking than the cats or the birds. But hell, I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Just talking about that news before, the news that the Chinese are going to use AI artificial intelligence and they think that they can translate what cats are trying to say. Do we want our animals talking to us? I'm not so sure if that's a good idea, but I guess once they start talking, well, we can't really turn them off, can we. I'll have
more rights. But if there's a good thing or a bad thing, so we are talking about that, it's gonna be something that's going to happen. Eight hundred and eighty to nine nine two detects. Also in honor of Mother's Day, perhaps slightly cryptic things your mother said to you that you've just realized what they were saying. I'd like the more interesting ones for those, actually, the one I particularly like, put your head in the drawer. The woodpeck is coming.
Now.
We've got a very severe thunderstorm that's in the area between Toto and that's happening about now. There are warnings for that. By the way, was there a cell phone alert? Did you get a text from the met service? I'm curious to know about that, and if you are in ground zero, let me know how heavy it is, and if there is funding, you might be driving, you might be an uberist, you might be out and about in those areas. Whether report would be dearly required, So thanks
for that. If you've got something, would love to hear from you about that. Also tonight, by the way, someone's texting me they've just done their first aid course. They say they no longer call it the recovery position.
What do they call it?
But yeah, people are saying it's raining extremely heavily in the Hawk's Bay and extremely heavily in Oatula at the moment, Marcus, hearing you loud and clear from Prague. We live in christ Churchen here on holiday. Go you, you pragists, be the Prague spread, won't it? Just like in sixty eight when was the Prague spring? Is it sixty eight? Get in touch, Marcus till twelve, Marcus Urgent News. Thank you
for this text. It's free, well written. State Highway five near Settler's Road between and Topor and Riperoa is completely blocked. It's almost like there's a whole river that's passing over the state highway. Large debris blocking both ways north and south. Police here as well, trying to get back from topor and no luck and yes did receivers of a thunderstorm alert from Met Service just after eight pm. Hi Steve, it's Marcus. Good evening.
Good evening, Marcus. First off the bat, thank you very much. Your public service announcement has solved me from having to go into a middle of a roadblock. I'm towards mathematic, going towards the guymine.
So you go.
I'm not well actually because that with that other road. I know you'll be right now, won't you. You know that's okay. So what are you going to do.
To be fair?
Probably turn around and give up on the old idea of going. So I was heading from Auckland through to Tower, but I think what I'll do is give up on it and attempt it tomorrow morning instead. So appreciate the heads up because I'm not close enough to be the problem. But also also you mentioned someone had rung and said wigwham for a goose's bridle. That that's a pretty common one. I've heard that my father in law used that even
to this day. But my own father used to say when asked what's for dinner or what's on the barbecue, he would say, piggle the ill s feet and spit, which I still don't to this day know exactly what the hell it means.
Hang on, I'll put both headphones on for that. He said, tickle, pickle the.
Eel's feet and spit.
Wow.
Now, if that's not one of the weirdest ones I've ever.
Heard, I don't know what is.
Do you think he made that up? If you heard others say that.
I've never heard it from anywhere else. I don't know if it's don't anyone else.
I don't know if some of these like have you ever heard put your head in a draw the woodpecker is coming. I have heard of that, Okay, I haven't you had heard?
You hadn't heard of the wigwam through the goose's bridle That I certainly have. As I said, my father in law uses that fairly regularly, and he's knocking on the door of eighty so so that age is it to a generation. But yeah, I've never heard of anyone using the one that my father had used in his day, and I just wondered if anyone else had heard it.
Basically, it's quite triggering when you flesh out, when you've fled out cooking dinner and the kids ask you what's for dinner? Because normally just comes some complaint or some criticism, isn't it.
Yeah, I mean it had always got a bit of a groan. That's all, Well, no, why can't you just tell us dad?
You know?
But no, no, that was that was always his go to.

We had reheavy rate around eight thirty, but no thunder to report of minor flooding around tott On, and I think Major, I think it's probably time to put a tunnel under the Kaimis.

Wow.
Yeah, I only presume it means don't make her angry because I never asked her. And I remember once we asked where she kiss it. She says she kIPS it in the closet, and we never ever looked.
Sounds terrifying for the monkey to come out. It's like her, It's like her angry split self.
Yeah.
And I would say that to my kids and they just look at me and say that silly.
It doesn't work anymore, does it don't work?

Cheap.

My mother used to say when she was asked what time it was, she would say it was a hair past.
Of free cours.
I think, yeah yeah.
And we asked how old she was, she would tell us us she was as old as her tongue and a little bit older than her teeth.
Yeah.
And she would also say when we asked for help, she would say, we were big enough and ugly enough to do it ourselves.
Can read Gene's a genus. Marcus, good evening, Hi.
Marcus, seven kids with us?
What was for dinner?
And my mother would say, put so much together?
Put some Apple storees almost together with a Demi flip.
We didn't want to you after that.
I'm surprised you kept asking.
Always hungry, always hungry?
When there's seven Yeah, yes, yeah, I could say, thanks for that, Jean. I'm quite enjoying this people. It's quite straightforward. We are talking about kind of as a precursor for Mother's Day, which is on Sunday. We are talking about the cryptic, strange things your parents would say that have sticked with or stuck with you, and you're thinking, what
the hell was that about. They might be threats, they might be nonsense answers to tiresome questions, but there's no shortage of them, and some of them are extremely original and highly entertaining. If you have some of those. That's the theme for tonight. I'll get to the text to be plenty of those wo'd like to hear you calls too, Yeah, sort of. Some of them have the threat of punishment at the back of them, but I guess that was the times. A lot of them seem English and derivation,
I mean, seem to be from the old country. A lot of the responses to what's for dinner? Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two nine. You have some good ones. I think we all have. I don't necessarily know what if my kids asked me what my things would say, the things I would say would be, let's probably put it in your journal. But get in touch here till midnight oh eight hundred eighty, ten eighty and nine to nine to to text, plenty of texts.
I will get to those before too long. Ten past ten, Good evening, make its Marcus, welcome.
HI.
When I was about eight or nine, we used a holiday with our grandpat in ash Version, and I remember by Nanny saying to me, many deans will get you. And I didn't have a clue who any deans was, but I read a couple of articles on later on in life. I thought, how could my lovely grandmother come out with that?
Tell me that I just you just glitched about. What was the Bernie, what you said?
What was the.
What?
When would she say? What would she say? And when would she say it?
Well, when I was if I was laughty, I was staying with her, she would say, if you don't behave yourself, many deans will get you, okay, and many beans. The baby in the middle of your area somewhere.
Yeah, I'll tell you one thing I've the one thing I have learned about many deans, having read widely about her, is that she was a great user of the rail system. She'd be training all across Southend in Otago, picking up babies with their hat box and a heppen Anyway, nice to hear from you keep it going eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine to nine to detect tittle twelve, Good evening, Robert, Welcome.
Today, Marcus. When we when mother had something that we wanted to know what it was, she'd say, it's a wig, one for a goose's bridle.
Still we had that the last couple of hours. I've got It's not something I've ever heard before, but it seems as though it was something that people would say, Yes.
It was quite quite a regular thing in our house.
And a bridle is like what you put on a horse, right. Yeah, I'm just trying to make six. Yeah, okay, I don't know if that's the thing exists, but it'd be good to make one. Robert, thank you for that. Our twelve past ten keeping coming. I'll get to some of the texts before too long. Yeah, threats and answers to stupid questions. It seems to be what we're on about tonight. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty hevery heavy thunder down
the country. I think it's probably past. It was quite rapid and quite sudden, but the met Service seem concerned pushing out sudden alerts. I think probably the only road that is still closed will be the Chai Mais. Sorry, the road across the Kaimis, and that's both lanes closed. Some MESSI slip. So yeah, we'll get the light of day, we'll see the horror of that, and no doubt that will be closed for some time. That would be my prediction. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty nine nine to text.
Often when you'd ask Watsford and he'd say glass of water, the worm in it. Which is quite good. One of my dad's favorites he made up was one wallow does not a swimmer mate. My Scottish nan would say, close the window. What do you think it is? Fresh air fortnight that I like? I like that a lot. I might use that because kids with doors and windows terrible Marcus. My mother would say, when we asked Watsford dinner, we have two choices. Tonight take it or leave it up
to you. Any of them. Here's a good one. It's a good sexist one. When I didn't do things quite right, my father would say, six Months of the South and Girl's High would do you the world of God. It's kind of its confidence boosting. Oh wait, ten and eighty, come on more, more, more, more more. Marcus would say, if we were not tidy, we looked like the wreck of the hesper the reck of the hesperis. I don't quite know much of the reck of the Hesperus. I'll
google that up. Looking forward to your call to people, the cryptic, strange and vaguely threatening things your parents would say. This was me, having crowdsourced the topic for Mother's Day. I think we're done all right with it. Actually, the reck of the Hesperus. I think the reck of the hespers might have been fictitious. It was a long Fellow poem. Long Fellow, the reck of the Hesperus be tonight's reading before I.
Go to bed.
Hello, Nora, it's Marcus. Welcome here, Hi Marcus.
Yes, long terms. My mother used to say, which I've now put my grandchildren, show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are? Birds of us feather flocked together?
Was it both together? I had two different sayings?
What was that?
Two different sayings? Here bird of us, heather flock together?
Or show me your.
Friends and I'll tell you who you are. And my grandchildren often say to me, oh, Nana, I can remember what your mother used to say.
Very good, Nora, thank you for that. This is a good one. My mother used to say, I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and you won't be happy till I end up and put your door. I think that's where the it's probably called an asylum in those days. It's with a psychiatric hospital. Was it still is? When talking to grandmother, if I said well and then in silence, she would have replied, well, well, well, said the blind
man talking to the deaf man on the phone. When we asked the mother what was for dinner, she would say, wait and see pie. Good evening, Kevin. It's Marcus welcome.
Yeah, good evening, Marcus. I used to ask my father how he was. His reply was a box of birds and they're all curping.
Do you say that ironically or was he quite a happy sort of a unit.
Oh he was quite happy.
Yeah, good. Happy to hear that, Kevin, Thank you. Eighteen past ten. My mother used to say, let's have a bit of light on the subject when going into a dark room Marcus. When we're at my mate's place in our teens, his mum would come down and say, what's going on down here? It sounds like the tickawity pub. My aunt used to say say, if you don't behave all, sharpen your legs like pencils and hem you into the ground.
It's a pretty good three, doesn't it. Your cryptic things your parents would say, Sonia, it's Marcus welcome.
Thanks, Mike, I's high. Yes, it's It's something that my nana, my beautiful, wonderful, kind nana would say to my mom when mom was a little girl, as she was attacking Mom into bed. She would ask, Mom, who do you love more meal?
Dad?
Who do you love more than me?
You're dad?
What a piece of work? What a piece of work?
I just I struggled to believe that. And also I was so interest What did you say?
Mom?
What did you say?
Mom?
Did?
Well?
I would say I love you both the same, I know, because I feel like I I'd crumble like a cheap tent and say you, Mum, how old was she? Well, that's that's a good question. I didn't ask.
I was just too.
So let's just find out, she said, a little girl. So they grew up Catholic.
It's a pretty tricky thing to ask, isn't it.
Too?
Right?
Yeah, nice to hear from you, Sonya, thank you. Twenty two past ten. If I asked my dad how much money he made, he always said not enough Marcus. My mother used to say, when asked if she wanted sugar to coffee, that she was to be she that she was to sour. She was too sour to be sweetened.
Me.
Mum, watsfor dinner?
Mum?
Shit rolled in sugar. Wow, that's direct, jeeps. My grandfather used to open the back page of the newspaper and say, wonder who's given up smoking today? Took me a bit to realize he was reading the death notices. Well that's dark, isn't it. My uncle used to tell me at Rugby, I had two chances, shit show and no show. My father in law would tell my children if they asked what was for dessod, he would say fried snowballs and a helping of wind. Would ask mom where we were going?
Her reply was up a tree in a boat Marcus. When we asked mum, wat's for dinner? She would say, A chase around the table and a kick at the cat. That's a goody too, isn't it, sheep? As these are good sue?
Hello, Hi, Hi.
When my parents worth had an argument or anything like that, Mum used to sort of shut up shop and wouldn't speak to him, and he used to walk off and say, I see it all.
She loves them.
I'll fix that woman, I'll marry her mother. And we could never understand it because their grandma was dead.
Yeah, did you understand it?
No, it's still don't the seventies.
In the seventies, tell me tell me again, he used.
To say, I see it, I see it, or she loves another. I'll fix that woman, I'll marry her mother.
Wow, it's pretty powerful a maybe someone else could cast some light on it. So thank you, obscure and cryptic things. Your parents would say that. Maybe you never really understood. Oh eight, one hundred and eighty, ten, eighty and nineteen. Most enrolled around what's for dinner? Or where are you going? Good evening, Rose, it's Marcus, welcome, Hi Marcus.
It was two of them when we were very naughty. Wasn't that often?

Wow. Wow, that sounds terrifying, doesn't it, because be split in half and tied up doesn't know what it was?
Yeah?
And then yes, oh, what's for dinner?
Pick your feet?
People will saying that quite often. Yep, And I guess eels don't have feet. That's the irony. It's imaginary, isn't it.
Yes, And the power of a hospital has gone we were talking about two minutes ago.
There's still something that's got a different name, has it.
No, they pulled the whole building down and got of a retirement villa.
Okay, is there a hospital there? And that's and and it's on a different site.
Is it sort of.
Say, yeah, different site, but it's fairy close to where it was.
Yes, good, I'm glad they knocked down those things are always such wanting buildings. Yes, okay, yes, well that's always interesting when people sort of say the threats of ending up and psydechic. I guess that was quite common in those days, and you might have something to say about that also tonight. One o hddle twelve Marcus, my grandma born nineteen oh eight would say, in reference to having children,
this is good people, you'll be triggered by this. My grandma born in ninety their weight, would say, in reference to having children, keep the best and drown the rest. Wow, that's pretty old school, good living. Sundra ates Marcus.
Welcome, Oh evening, Marcus. It's an enjoyable show tonight. I've got one t three sayns. My dad used to say, I'm a poet and didn't know at my feet are long, long fellows.
It's quite good.
Yeah.
Yeah, was a type of potato, do, wasn't it.
I don't know about a potato. I know he was a poet.
Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I think they might also be potatoes anyway.
Yeah, my mum used to say who does he think he is? Ten firrup in the best possible taste. And I've got a favorite saying. When I'm asked how old i am, I just say I'm not old. I've just been young a very long time.
I think you'd have to I think I think you'd have to say. I think you'd have to say that it was referring to the potato. I don't think the long fellow joke would work otherwise. Oh okay, yeah, maybe maybe I might be right. This is you feed our long fellows. Yeah, I can't quite work out that might work on two levels or three different central think about that one for a while. Good evening, Rosset's Marcus welcome.
Yeah, can I Marcus? I yeah, I guess a bit of a quote that my mum used to say. She was an old lady, and she used to used to not like girls wearing short skirts and that sort of stuff and things, and she used to say, sights you see when you haven't got your gun, which is probably not very nice, to be honest, but.
Not that discreet. Ross thank you, Steve, Marcus.
Good evening, Yeah, good day, Marcus, great programmer. As usual, my father used to threaten us with specialification, and we never knew what it was, but he always said it in a kind of a jovial manner, as if it were something nice. But he also had a saying whenever in circumstances like we might be wedding at some traffic lights in the car and the lights would turn read before we we got to go through, and he'd say
too late. She cried and waved her wooden leg, and he'd say that sometimes he would if we were driving past to bust up and those days, it says, early days of the trams in the middle of the road in Auckland where they went up and down the concrete strips, and occasionally'd be driving and you'd see somebody running after the tram or running after a bus. He'd say, too late. She cried and waved a wooden leg. And when that lady talked about spifl speification, I wondered whether anybody had
ever heard of that phrase. We never knew quite what it meant.
Obviously, it's quite.
Per because I like he puts the third person as though he's not even himself, like he's narrating sort of a scene. Too late, she cried as she waved her wooden leg is at it.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's That's the other thing he used to say when we'd leave the doors open when he was trying to warm up a room in the house. You'd say, born an a tent as usual, born an a tent, and you know we'd have to rush over and close the doors. But that was one phrase that we never really knew what it was. And I thought you must have read in a book somewhere. It sounded like a quote from somewhere, but I don't know where it was from.
Well, look to think I've had so many phrases come through tonight, but no one's mentioned that.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know whether it's sort of it doesn't make a lot of sense really, but it was a bit of a bit of fun. We always laughed when you see it, and you drag it out every now and again randomly. But anyway, good to hear all these old things.
I think, just from a quick look Steve.
Mm hmm.
The phrase too late, too late, she cried as she waved her wooden league in the air. Is a line from the poem and the Highwayman by Alfred Noise that a highwayman who is portrayed by his lover and dies in a shootout with the authorities. The lighter's rheumatic moment and the poem emphasizing and the desperate, tragic and desperate nature of the situation. But someone someone also says, from a Pink Floyd song, so I'm gonna do some quick research on that because it's very good. But I will
report back, Steve, thank you. My husband would say to our children, I'll smeck you so hard your shirt will run up your back like a blind Lovely, isn't it. My dad used to tell me when I was being annoying, go and tell your mother she wants you. Well, that's good. My granddads used to say, uncooked joints off the table when we had elbows on the table. That's quite able to do that before uncooked joints off the table. My
grandmother was born in eighteen eighty eight. If I was talking loudly or shouting, she would say, be quiet, you sound like a fish wife. Very odd to a child imagining fish getting married. As a child, I was watching TV so much, my mother would say to me, my job was to make sure the couch doesn't fly out the window. Halftime in the Rugby League fourteen nil Brisbane over the South. Alistair, Hello Marcus, evening.
Hello Marcus. When I was very young, mine Molo would ask me to do a job or something and I would forget sometimes that she would say, your train, I thought has left the station.
Yes, how did that make you feel?
Ah, couldn't worry on me?
Good on, Thanks Alistair, your trainer thought has left the station. Now people are sitting through outback Australian quotes. We're actually talking more about Mother's Day, the cryptic things your mother would say to you that might cut you down or might not twelve to eleven here till midnight Jim Steedden from twelve Chris good evening, Welcome, Hi Marcus.
I was just to hear somebody say something about asking what's for tea and the mother or father father probably would answer pickled, pickled eels toes or something. My father was yessed to say pickled eels toenails. And I'd ask him what the time was and he'd say it's half pass called it from that, which I've never heard anybody else say that before, and that's saying eat it up, wear it out, do with or do without, and I think kids of today could learn that one.
Wear it out, do with or do with?
They are like it. It is a good one, isn't that.
We'll go on a T shirt. Chris, thank you for that. Good evening, Peter, this is Marcus. Welcome.
Yes, good evening, Marcus. I'm saying I used to I heard from my neighbor when I was a young child and I was watching him and working in his workshop and he was building something that I'd inquire what he was making, and his response that I still remember was he's building a wigwam for a goose's bridle.
Yeah, we've had that a few times. That seems to be some that some people see quite often. Yes, that's not what It's not one I've ever heard, no me.
I'm just still wondering where it ever came from. I understand the implications.
The implications love. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, but thank you Peter, thank you Jeannett. It's Marcus. Good evening, Good evening.
My mother was quite short, and she used to say, if my legs for longer, I'd be taller.
Where did she say that all the time?
Oh, there's someone queried where she was so short?
Oh?
Okay, yeah, And if you ask.
My dad how old he was, he would say, I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.
Yeah.
That's good too, isn't he. That's quite literal. Okay, good night, Thank you, Jeanette. As a young girl, I learned about the weather with the saying there's enough blue sky to make a sailor a suit. My dad still sees when commenting on pathetic leadership, the world is shot for the want of an Irish king. I have never heard anyone else ever say it, but with a bit of looking on Google, and it was a key we quote for
play in the sixties. Aha, she cried as she waved her wooden leg and her glass eye fill out and what we were quoted? Can you tell me a bit more about that, because I can't find that anywhere?
That one?
Hello, Faye, Oh, I guess when there was a girl I'm eighty six now, we lived in a house and had a coal range, and we used to have a coal man used to come and deliver coal and he had a big sack on his back and he was covered and you know, coldness. And Mum always threatened me when I was naughty, the coal man would take me
away and his sack. One day there was a knock at the door and I opened the door and there he was standing there with his heat his sack, and I screamed and then got under my Yes, the poor man had just come to the door for money for delivering the coal. And I can still remember it to this day.
It was rightening.
Yeah, it's a.
Really good story, Faith, Thanks for that. Wow, someone has texted through.
I like this one.
I haven't heard this one. When my father whatever enough of arguing with us, he would say, and if your grandmother would have had wheels, she would have been a bike. It's a bit different, isn't it.
Oh.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Juliet's Marcus.
Hello, and a very good evening to you. Marcus says, I was always a very good program.
Thank you, Thank you, Julie.
My mum used to say when we were naughty, my brother and I, I would have been better off with a set of jugs.
I like that because it's quite straightforward and quite brutal, isn't it.
Yeah, And I would always say, well, after me they broke the mold.
Yeah, yeah, better off of the set of jugs. That's brilliant any more from her? Any more from her? Oh, there was lots, but I.
When you put in the spot like this, you just you just can't remember them all.
But take some. So if you get some more. Fourteen to six Brisbane Broncos leave the South, rabbit os, they might come back the South. Hello, Anne, it's Marcus.

Do you? Wow?

My father used to say, if my sister had bulls, she would have been my brother. One would at times when we looked uncomfortable, say, you look as awkward as a pig with a souviette. Now some for a good ones coming through, Now, Marcus, you know what thought did, don't you. We stuck a feather on the ground and thought to grow a rooster.
Now.
My mother used to say she couldn't come and do something because she had a bone and a leg. As a kid, I thought that was a very valid reason. If I was trying to be clever, my dad would say, well, there's no flies on you, but I can see where they've been now, Marcus. A favorite of mine was when I was in the way, the grandfather used to say, your father wasn't a glass blower. That's a variation on you're a better door than a window, Marcus. My mother used to say, when you ask why she was doing
something for fun and fancy to please old men. Old desserts were always called wait and see. I brought you into this world. I can take you out of it. Mother always said, it's pretty full on, isn't it. Get in touch you on talk, by the way, than to be talking, not a saying. When our dad used to get frustrated with us as children, he would tell us to go put our heads in a bucket of water twice and take it out once. Marcus, my grandfather used to call me tuppance too. I don't know why, and
then he abbreviated to tups. Oh wait n eight ten eighty, Jenny, good evening, Marcus welcome.
Oh hi Marcus.
My dad used to call me tuppance too when I was a little kid. When we used to come home sometimes and ask when Mom was Dad, as he was there, would say, oh, she's up in Annie's room. We didn't even have a Nannie in the family, but it usually meant she was up in the bedroom or somewhere. She was up in Annie's And if we came home and said Mum was dad, she would say, I always gone to see a man about a dog.
Yeah, think that one's quite composite. I've never heard there as a child, but you I've heard people since say that.
Yeah.
And my mother used to tell me as I got a little bit older, she used to tell me I had too much false pride, and I didn't know what she meant. It wasn't till I grew up really that I realized she meant that I thought I was better than I was.
Yes, yeah, I always Yeah, I'm never quite sure about false pride. It doesn't sometimes be in the opposite. But if you know what I'm saying, Yes, that's what I think she meant. Yes, you're probably rights. I don't know. Everyone was called tuppence.
Yeah, I don't know.
I was very affictuate to him. I think for your dad to call your tuppence.
It's a nice words. Thank you, you're a nice expression. If we're fidgeting, my grandmother would say, sit still, you're bouncing around like a fart in the bottle. Good evening, Margaret, it's Marcus. Welcome.
Yes, my mother used to say, we're here. There be for a fat that nearly killed me.
Wow, there you go.
Eh, she sounds like she sounds lively.
Well she's been dead for a long time.
Oh, yes, which is alive? She sounds lively. I guess what I'm saying.
I was just saying that she used to say.
But she usually means she'd said, brilliant.

Run a play. They thought they was going to kick it for touch, didn't they.
It was a Yeah, it was a kick that kind of came out of nowhere. And the funny thing is that I was as you started talking about it. I was watching it as you're talking about it. Wasn't thinkers in the time in sky. But anyway about the sayings, mate, About the sayings my old man always to say, I mean, pretty basic ones. But he wased to say, if he's if he's the eager of the house, he's a meal in the house. It's something that me and I always believe that too. I've always feel like, if he's an
egg in the house, he's always a meal. And with you goally, even go free. And that's when I lived by too. One time, one time I was living, I was living at home, and I bought this brought this woman home and she wasn't the best look in mine, mate, And and my old man he must have caught her on the way out, you know. And I come out and knows, well, I can't, you know, you're kind of heavy to spain look each other, you know. And he goes to me, he goes, oh, it's all good man,

Pretty much from halfway just drop kicked it over and then yeah but then they then so they let the clock run down, right, and they're just playing for time on the Broncos try line, and then Latrell had the ball and it was full time and all the Brisbane players just sort of shrugged and looked sad they were losing, and suddenly La Trell Mitchell jumps up, uh, dives for the try line and scores it and.

Yeah.
Yeah, and one my mum used to say when things my late mother, when things were a bit down, keep your keep your pecker up, which I used to cringe it, you know, but it obviously had some different meaning back in time.
I guess like a lot of those sayings.
So yeah, it's nice to remember those things before Mother's Day too, So cheers that, Adam Marcus.
Welcome, great Marcus.
My grandmother would on occasion say more you have more cheek than a fatman's specsid.
Thank you.
Oh well, I guess that's good because it make you laugh too. What as a kid, do you think that's pretty funny? Marcus? Massive shout out the loved, long lost clem from the mirror of farriorda shout out to a lot of shout out shout out to Brandon Marcus. I'm sure you'd find my foreign mother's translation of serves your right amusing. She took a long time to admit their actual translation was spit up to heavy, it'll end in your eye. My brother was always told it was the
exact Yugoslav translation, Marcus. One of dad's to shut the door was put the wood in the hole. Very good, Oh you, Thanks to all your texts, you guys text fantastically would have made a fortune from the machine tonight. Thousands and thousands of texts lookally coming through about ten a minute. That's been good. So I appreciate all your people typing away the Kaimi. The road over the Kaimis
is closed. That's the main road there, So I think that's probably going to be the temporary fix is going to take a while, and I think probably the long term fix is going to take a long time. There's been no sighting of what it looks like yet, but
apparently the road slipped away both sides. So if you're going from tot Oner to or if you're the mayor of todong or if you're going between Todonger and Hamilton over the weekend, you might want to check before you go because it might be a bit of a detour. So just be that in mind, and I will catch you all again on Monday. Enjoy your weekend, good night.
