No Known Anecdote (23 May 2025)

You're listening to the Marcus lush Night's podcast from News Talks at.

Be Greetings and Welcome Crusaders Lead the Hearland is ten to five. It might be on Freedom where it might not. Go watch it if you want. I'll keep you updated with the scores from that. I know this is a special game to some. Plenty of people turned out at the arena in Canterbury christ Church to watch the sixty thousand capacity. That's good to see people are going to rugby and droves. I think it's the pointy end of the season. I will keep you updated about that. Looking

Be on.

Oh, eight hundred eighty eight. There's no prize for the sweepstake. Within the sweepstake. There might be a prize for the subsequent sweepsteak if we've won the sweep steak. About what the sweepstake's going to be about? I'm excited? Was that you, Marcus? Yes, that's right. I'm beside myself. So there we go. So, yes, the sweep steak within a sweep steak. If you think

I think it might be the soccer.

The score on this because the trouble with the sweep steak on soccer, right, Yeah, what can this tell me?

What?

The scores could be? Zero zero zero one one zero one one two zero two one two two zero two zero one. How many How many are there?

Yeah?

Not enough? No, not enough. I've tried sweepsteaks before with soccer. I didn't like them because if you ring up late in the hour, he gets twelve seven, which never happens. Good evening, Matthew, it's Marcus welcome.

You're good Marcus, I don't know. I understand the concept. But is it just one choice? One pick? Do I give you one pick?

You've got to guess what tonight's sweepsteak is going to be about.

Well, I'm going to say Auckland FC. The football.

That's what the last guy said.

Though way, well okay, then it would be the Warriors.

No.

But when you hear but Matthew, when you hear what the sweet sake is going to be about? Right, yeah, you've got your first reaction is going to be astonishment. Then you're going to think, of course, then you're going to think what a great idea, and you won't be able to help yourself but to ring in and have your guests for the sweep steak.

But I have rung in.

Oh yes, this is.

No.

This is the sweepstake. About what the sweepstake is going to be about?

That's quite any more on market.

I don't think it's an oxy moron and sary enough this is a sweep steak because you're not. You're it's more a guessing combination for the sweepstake. But we are calling it the sweepstake. Within the sweep steak, that's why I said the warrior thepe No, it's not the word. So I'd like most sweepstakes, I'm telling you it right or wrong, if you've.

Got it right, Okay, thank you for that, Thank you for clarifying that.

But you could come in later on.

I will when I hear the sweeteak.

Besides yourself. That's Matthew again. There'll be Matthew with his guest for the sweep steak. Within the sweep steak. I'm shaking with excitement. Nolean, Nolene, it's Marcus, welcome.

Hi.

What do you What do you think it is going to be about, Nolene? The sweep steak.

I think the sweep steak is going to be about the people that ring in for the sweep steak, because that could be zero to wow.

What I wish I'd thought of that. So you think the sweep steak is going to be how many people have rung in for the sweep steak.

We'll ring for the sweep steak.

Yeah, but we couldn't have that because you already know how many people rung in, wouldn't you?

Mhm.

It depends what the second sweep steak is really.

I thought we might have had three sweepsteaks. If we've got to sweepstake. How many people ring it for the sweepsteak?

Oh well, so the people at ring and then you will say, oh, well, how many females, how many males or whatever? So because it might be getting close to midn't I.

I have to think about that. That was done my head in a bit Noline, we're wearing a sweepstak or what the sweepsteak is going to be about? Cheryltte's Marcus welcome, Hi am the budget? How would you do a sweepsteak on the budget?

Like, I don't know, but it's such a ridiculous idea.

Isn't it a ridiculous It could be like, yeah, I want to do a sweepsteak on this on the budget because it would be it would also be a day late, wouldn't it two days late?

I I don't know. I really don't know. But I don't know. Why are you even thought of doing this?

Well, it's a Friday, everyone's watching the sport. We've got to cut with something. We've done the flag referendum and we've done lips and lamps and by the way, I put a video up on Facebook of an early lamps and system with a railway in an old English shop that sent wooden balls down rails. It's a thing of absolute beauty. You put the money in the docket and wooden balls. Good evening, Shawn, it's Marcus welcome.

Yeah, Marcus.

Look, I reckon it's the silver fur incest. Senator Joe Gill's rugby. Wow, and I think a good one right in the media for a week, Yeah, the stars and portrait.

Who did Dancing with the Stars.

It was one of the Canadian ones. She was, I think the media.

Okay, I think it's Alona ma and I think she's an American woman, not a Canadian.

Oh okay, yeah, yeah, but I'm looking forward to watching that. Yeah, I think it's a big the game. I think women's rugby is kind to be honest. They've watched a lot of it, but they've watched the few and they actually, you know, the running game is great, right, It's sort of a little bit more running going on than than the boys stops start.

So yeah, and I was quite enjoyed the women's State of Origin too.

Yeah.

I mean that's it was wet too, which was.

Well.

All the league seems to be wet New South Wales at the moment, Yes, women's sport is having its moment, although that's not what the sweeps teake about the sweet Could we go one? Can we have a sweepstake about a sweep tak? Not really? It's the most followed athlete on Instagram, Alon o Mar is that right? Or the most followed rugby player on Instagram? I suppose next is going to be a room a woman's run it straight? And they talked about that, having a sweepstake about what

A sweet steak about sweepstakes about sweepsteaks.

You can't go three otherwise? How would we do that? How would we do the third level.

Well, you just get people to tell you all about the sweep steaks.

Their opinion of it. Yeah, okay, is that what you want to do?

Well, No, that's what I thought it might be.

No, that's almost too meta for me. The sweet say about the sweep day, about sweep steak. But thank you, Liz. I'll get to the texts. Chris says, Is it about the price of butter because of the Costco butter thing?

Who will?

Who will? When run it? The price of butt in a month when a snail will reappear on Marcus's car? Marcus, I guess the sweepstake is an unbretending go media stadium. Are they more Auckland FC or Warrior fans? It's a good thing. It's a sweepsteak. About what the sweepsteak will be? About the sweepstake? Not quite the approval rating of the government budget, the next, colmar Brunton, Marcus, it's so obvious. It's the opening of the Bluff Oyster season. You are

Oh?

Eight eight eight? I'm looking for suggestions if anyone knows what tonight's sweepsteak is about. If you like, it's the sweepsteak on the sweep steak, so get in touch. If you've got any guesses for that. What do you think it will be about? It's not about the football and it's not about the women's rugby. And if you think what we've always done, what do we have? We got

You, Warren.

I think it'll be on.

Whether we should have a referend him on the flaground.

But come up with it.

There'd only be two. There'd only be yes, and they would be the only two things in the sweep site that way, would they?

Oh yes, right, yeah, Oh well, I'm not going to say anything else.

I appreciate you coming through the Warren Commission, and it's Marcus. Good evening and the green Gables welcome.

Thank you. I'm ringing up about I heard you talking about oysters. Yes, I absolutely adore oysters. And I saw when I was making up my order that you could get these things called trident in a little box smoked oysters. Oh my god. They were absolutely ghastly. They were like tiny, little about as big as my thumb, half my thumb, brown, shrunken flavors things in and it's got on in vegetable oil, horble. So just I don't even know how they could even

Have you tried the tin muscles in that same range? I thought they were all right.

I haven't tried muscles that i've after my experience with oysters. I mean they ran into oysters. They were brown, and there were horrible flavor, nothing like real oysters.

But that was But that would have surprised you when that there were three dollars at ten and it like forty dollars a dozen. I would imagine I.

Can't remember how much they were, but that they just didn't have anything that reminded me one bid So I thought I just warned people.

Did you finish them?

No?

I checked them out to the birds.

I don't know if you should be the oysters to the birds. Maybe you should thank you. Therefore that and are twelve ten highlands over the Crusaders. It's the last nine minutes, and this is a desperation for the Crusaders. Although I think a penalty has just got a kick. A penalties just got against them. I'm not entirely sure that, but that's a look on the players faces. Jason, it's Marcus Hello.

Good being Marcus, How are you tonight?

Good? Thank you? Jason.

Just thought I would rung up and just talk about the Southerner. I went on last weekend and here it's just been announced again to run again and lave weekend.

Yeah. I can't quite work out why they're doing that, the charge, the changing and hamor the league for it, aren't they?

Well?

Yeah, well I was quite well patronized. Lots of people on it from yeah, I suppose a good spread from children on it. Children jumped on and tomrow and headed down to zoons the day and then hit back again in the afternoon. Yes, and there's some older people who yeah, who I suppose we liver in the younger days of riding Southern.

There how many carriages.

There was one senate class, which is where you get on board on boards, and there's a cafe car and there was about three other scene carriages the outdoor observation car too, so it's probably about seven in total carriage car and baggage.

Did you go up and back?

I went up on the Saturday and came back down on the Monday morning. Okay, Yeah, it was very good. It was lots of people on board.

Yeah, yeah, and upsets me that they're indicating to people like they might be bringing it back. But I think there's nowhere in the world that will bring it back.

I don't think they know, not in this current form anyway. But I deal for you have some railcars. They they were scripping on the rail rather than the locomotive hauled carriages, because a locomotive is primary designed for hauling holding freight. So and of course, yeah, in comparison to rail car. I had the privilege of riding Arium thirty one from Pior Tour and it was down in South Island, oh yes,

Quite okay, nice for Jason thinks. Then Chris has come through the most boring or cringey talkback subjects year to date. I'm not quite sure if that the Southerner I agree the budget I agree cheese rolls calls offering to sing on their poems, children being prompted to ring by their parents. Well, that's not a sweepstake thing, is it. By the way, I didn't see the supercars were coming to New Zend and I couldn't quite order christ Church. I didn't really read.

Christ Church.

Christ Church Supercars. Is it like a street circuit or like Rapoona? Oh it's Rapoona, So that's not the streets? Oh? Is that kind of interesting? I don't know. Christ Church to host supercars for the first time, rpoon and Raceway

Welcome, you're sweet state thing Marcus. I was just having a guest. Maybe it'll be who's going to be leading the National Party in the ex general election?

Wow? You think we go there?

Now?

Maybe that's I kin't wonder if the tides changed on that, has it? What are you hearing on the street?

Oh well, we're just listening to what people are saying lately in that they don't think he's got to be running it and they want to get one of those ladies that are in the Parliament to running the party.

Okay, yeah, I'm not going to do that on a Friday night though, but thank you, Bob. It's a good suggestion. These are all very good suggestions for a sweepstake. Actually, good evening, Phil Marcus, welcome you market going good PHILP.

I heard your comment before about the supercars, and I agree with you. I think it kind of has one. It's of course, there was a lot more heart and pride when the cars were my heir, you know, and something's been taken away from it. I don't know.

Well, everyone these days seems to follow Formula one, or they seem to follow Scott Dixon.

And yes, and all that time in what's.

The other one? There's what? There's two indies in the NASCAR, they seem to because the coverage is so good.

Yes, well, even even to the extent where some of the most famous drivers that we've ever known, Shane van Gisberg and are doing drifting and indies and NASCAR all of it are not even they don't even want to be a part of the industry, you know what I'm saying, because it's it's boring to them. Now there's no pride.

Did they kill it or is it just because they don't make Holden's in Australia anymore.

I think it's the manufacturing side of things, and I do believe that that just kind of basically buzz towards the whole thing. You know, there was a real there was something really good about, you know, racing a car that your country built, you know, And I don't know, I think that you've got American cars, now you've got Erebus, Mercedes. How the hell did they get in there? That's Europea.

Maybe they just tried. Maybe they just sucked Christen to them and sold them a dud. Yeah, well I hope, I hope not.

I wanted to stay around too. I like my vent supercar all that type of stuff, and it's really good for New Zealand and Australian races, especially up and cameras and stuff, you know, like.

Hope, yes, just coming out there at the NFFL, thank you for that. Nice to hear from you. By the way, the Crusaders have when fifteen to twelve we've got the Western Force against the Warritars. That happens tonight. Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome. I enjoyed you muchly tonight that hour the sweepstake on that no one's known what the sweepstakes about. You have another guest before I think we'll start at the next hour, Marcus is the sweepstak.

Oh hello.

I think the sweepsteak is about the new game that people are running into each other.

And how would that work? When's it going to be banned? Or who's going to win it? Or how would it be?

I think it's going to be banned.

Okay, okay, but if we had a sweepsteak on that, how would that sweep stake work. That's just kind of what I'm wondering. I have no idea, no, no, nor do why Okay, Well, Susan, I appreciate you coming through. It's actually not about that. It won't be about running. I think someone else suggested that. I think run it's here to stay. The people seem to have loved it. If there's money to be made, people will continue to do it and promote it that we might take on

Oh.

I think the soulf sweet sake. I think your Mary party and what the going to be a.

Number of days at the compromised number of days?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's what I'm thinking.

It's not a bad idea. You do know. I have got something in mind that I'm not just waiting for the best one and saying yes. Though. Do you trust me on that, don't you?

I'm not sure. Actually, you're just putting your feelers out there and seeing what comes in.

No, I've actually got something, but I'll let you know before too long. Marcus. There is the sweepstake on how long it will be before Pepper Pick will have another brother or sister. Loll yeah, funny, I'll show Pepper Pig. It's slightly compelling. I'm not quite sure about the backstory of Pepper Pig. I've watched a fair bit of that as a father of the young when they were younger. Anyway, By the way, the Crusaders are top of the Super

Oh hi Marcus, is your seat steak about next week's state of origin?

I'll be good if it was, wouldn't I haven't thought about that. No, it's not because I wouldn't. It wouldn't be about the square. Wud be the first time someone got sent off? Wouldn't it for it? On rest? Welsh's not in it, is he? No, it's not about that, Gene. So here we go and tell you what the sweepsteak is,

What deal?

Though?

I are you six nineteen?

Reason?

Just two minutes?

So running two minutes late.

Laura, so close to six seventeen? You reckon six seventeen? Is the kind of the the that's coming ready? Yeah, that's the standard they've set themselves to just be a couple of minutes late.

Yeah, brilliant.

Gary, Gosh, it's going to be hard for me to keep this interesting, is it? When people bring up Mike with a K Mike good evening and welcome. I can tell you good, thanks, Mike.

Good good. I'm going to go six thirty six.

Please.

It's going to make it interesting when it comes through, isn't it.

Yes?

And my reason is because last time on the first half hour, so I'll say this time I want to test it on the chicken half.

Of course too, like the as the hand goes up. But you'll be excited. You've got a mobile, you'll be waiting for that when it comes through.

Ye, I'll be watching the Warriors, so yep, we'll be fine.

We'll be next to me and you'll have remembered the guests. You don't need to write it on your hand or anything.

No, no, I got it yet. Six thirty six.

Okay, brilliant. Okay, so the numbers have gone are six seventeen, six nineteen and six thirty six. Brilliant. The fon fonts are different size, Dan, is it a problem? Gary got a little tiny font? Gary's got a tiny font. Oh, there we go. That's better. Who six seventeen, six nineteen, six thirty six. No one's got six o'clock. It's gonna be exciting the worries if everyone gets a tack and they sure it'll be exciting and the commentators could make a laugh, couldn't they? Gain or Marcus welcome.

Hi Marca.

I'm going six twelve. Really, I think they'll want it sort of pretty quickly. Okay, there's no other actual reason, but but yeah, that's how I'm thinking. The water out the way early, and you know, people want us to have they don't want to be bothered by that. Well, I mean, it's a good thing to have, we need it. But yep, that's what I'm going for six twelve.

As I tried and reverse, I can't, for the life of me think why they went six seventeen last year exactly? Gain what we what happened the other year. I think people should be having tex slurt parties. I mean it's a good way to get us sort of familiar with something that's actually quite a serious thing while we're getting text. Is it for a tsunami? I'm not what you're wired is?

That's it? Cal okay, Carl undergone six three three as in the movie Sex three three Squadron. I can't want to have gone six month seven, which was The Damn Busters.

But he already claimed that what hang on? How's that the Damn Busters.

Six month seven Squadron?

Oh?

Okay, of course, okay, yep, yep, yep, yep, copy yep.

Yeah.

So I predicted the Sex three three after the booby to the Sex three three squads.

He never managed to remake that, did the old the key we filmmaker. He was supposed to remake The Damnusters, wasn't he?

I can't.

He was going to do what he had. He had Stephen Fry working on the script. They had the controversy over what to call the dog. It was all happening and we and it never happened.

That's right because the original one they renamed it trigger, yes, which people come to you was it too, because apparently there was some praise Cowboy's Horse.

Yeah, and they couldn't call it the N word and they never got beyond that and they never had it made. It was Peter Jackson, that's right.

Yeah, because I needed the original movie the fifties of city doing that came there. That's quite n You have seen that one, and that one they had to change their name as well.

Did we get to did you go? Did you go? Dambusters?

No?

Did you go? What were you going? That's very free, which is what.

The movie six three pre Squadron, Oh yeah, which was about a flight of mosquito trying to take a target in Germany.

Brilliant. Okay, then we're going to know you knew as war movies, isn't he? Well, no one's gone the first nine minutes. I thought that'd be the pick, the pick of them. Actually, what time with the emergency mobile at test message to be sent on Sunday anytime between six zero if I was them. Oh, i'd keep them waiting right to the end. Someone wants to enough. There should be a slot for no go like it fails fail

Yeah, I know.

That's late, but it's going to be halftime at the Warriors game.

Oh, it's a very good thought. Okay, that's a really good thought. Okay, you appreciate that, Pet, she's putting some thinking in it. Never thought about halftime is because I know when half time it's full time. They might know about because we could go and it could go to golden goal or golden point. There'll be other stuff on as well. So Pat's the only one in that last ten minutes. There's no one in the first ten minutes, but the middle is quite well taken up. Warren Marcus welcome.

Hi Marcus.

Yeah, I'm doing the same thing as the lady is just on at six forty five.

Actually, you go straight on the halftime whistle almost day.

Yeah, it was forty minutes, so half half half of halftime.

Yep, I like that middle of halftime, Warren, thank you, they'll be exciting to it. Ericson, you won't gets the beep going on? Brilliant, brilliant. Let's hope there's not a quake or something terrible happens in that hour. That would be terrible, wouldn't it. That'd be every civil defense emergency person's nightmare that during the hour for the test, some catastrophe happens. Oh, it's just a test, it's just a drill. No, it's not a drill. This is really happening. Do it's

Yes, Marcus.

Hi, I'm saying seven and it's past six.

I thought ye say seven o'clock or that was radical, No, seven past seven six. I see you're down for that. D any reason? Not too late?

Oh you my favorite number seven?

So brilliant like that a lot? That's nothing. I mean, you can bring your favorite number. And by the way, my favorite number is not seventeen. Helen. Marcus welcome.

Oh yes, I reckon, it'll be about six thirty.

Reason I've just think it's a good I got time.

Really, I don't know why I did six seventeen last time. You're down for it, Helen, thank you. Six thirty for Helen. No one's between that eighteen twenty eighteen thirty half hour apart from Helen. But that's down the next one. Move Marcus, welcome, you're Marcus.

I'm saying seven twenty five.

Really it only we only go between six and six seven o'clock.

Oh yeah, well, well six twenty five then.

Perfect, that's Lo's yours. They'd move, you're on it. And then at Jennifer it's Marcus welcome, you're there.

Yep, yeah, six eighteen wow.

Yeah, that's because I do it a minute after last time. That whole slot the same. Yeaes six seventeen the number for me, So six seventeen, six eighteen, six nineteen is all gone. That's the only flow we've got so far, Gene. Three in a row, they're gone, wow, wow, it's looking good. The spreadsheet. Jeepers, creepers, Jean, Marcus, welcome, Hi there now, Gene, what time on the hour would you like for the alert to go off?

I'll go six fifteen.

I can't believe people aren't going in the first ten minutes, six fifteen. That's down for that gene that yours? Okay, yep, brilliant, thank you for that. You we're filling it up. Get your numbers and they won't last forever. That's a good one. Fail to fire is like betting on zero or green and roulette. A lot of people are texting in with their area code. You've really got to ring in for

No?

I think probably that's that's Captain's cool. I think we can. I think we can. Yeah we can. He'll say, yes, we can do it. How much longer is the butter going to be cheap at Costco?

Yeah?

Well, even if it's the last leader, it's bringing people in, isn't It's so I'm going to go to buy my coffin. They still sell coffins? Have they? What a giant beers? Okay? Okay, never been to Costco? Then I got to walk to the next week, so I'll be going. I'll be there on the third, I think, so I'll probably go and sign up and get the butter. Just not quite sure how to get a home on the bus. Not the bus all the way to Bluff but into Graham Street for the studio. Well, I take the social media team,

Well?

It is it is lamented. Hey, just before I get back to the numbers, could some people text me if faith because all the lines are taken up, do they think would ten kilograms of butter be too much for people because you'd have to your fridge couldn't handle it. If you wanted to prize, what would be a reasonable amount of butter to win? Because you can put in your freezer. But we've got a tiny freezer. I mean, I'm not gonna win its. Well, I could win it myself.

Welcome, Hello, how are you tonight?

Would ten kgs of butter be too much for you?

Yes?

Excellently, So five would be a better prize.

I definitely think five would be a better prize. Okay, okay, unless it's super soft.

Okay, well, it might be super soft by the time it arrives. What's your time dinner?

Six? Five? Two?

Really?

Yep?

It's going to be a long hour for you waiting for your beef, isn't it?

Ummm?

No, no, that's just that's just our birthdays aside the three of us.

So okay, brilliant, Okay, how could is your birthdays edit together?

No, one's on the sixth ones, once on the six onths on the tist and one is on the second.

Ye okay, thirteen. But you think you debrah, she's just five pounds of butter. Maybe when you're ask you how much you want, you have five or ten CAGs. It's bias, it's biased choice, winner's choice, and we you normally go to say, we could use your photo for publicity purposes, but we won't have you holding up ten cages of butter an your phone alert.

Hell go oh hi, I've written fives.

Please okay, yep, okay, I.

Really can write on six pm because people are waiting for the news and down for the night.

They'll be just sitting sitting down to watch Richard and Judy with the bowl of super The textill come through, okay.

Six the TV? Yeah, six o'class on the.

Dot and you're a five kg a ten kg?

Yeah, well I could share it around, but my son lives in the caravan. They don't have a big broach. I have a big freezer. It's hardly in the in the thing and food.

But you're you're a door knocker, aren't you.

Yeah, yeah, I can share it with my neighbors, says forty six Indian neighbors here, forty Indian neighbors here on my complex from.

How because the G is a different thing, though, wasn't it. They use G, don't they?

Oh for some things that they use. Butter they like, but they're modern on the beread. What people they have it.

They could clarify it for just to clarify, okay, Helga, Helga's ten kg, but she could clarify it with the neighbors. I don't know what G is. I just remember the just so stories when they ran round around the circles and tuned into gee nine away from ten. When we're halfway through to the numbers, because it might be hard for you to work out which numbers are free, desiree. It's Marcus, welcome, Hi two brilliant, it's yours? Yes, five or ten kgs of butter? You got a deep chest freezer?

Yes, I'd rather have the money.

Would you really, desiree?

Yes?

Yes, really.

I don't need the butter.

No one needs the butter. But it's just what we're all talking about. Okay, just for you, just for you, the money, the money on the bag, desiree. Good on you, deser I appreciate your moxy. Yeah, Dezere, he wants the money. I lot butter. Everyone wanted butter. But it's it's it's costco butter. Graham. Hello, Marcus Graham, Welcome, Welcome.

Yes, so I would say six twelve brilliant.

It's a good time. It's already gone. Gain has got that.

Oh okay, well I'll make it six thirteen brilliant.

That's an next one. Okay, you're doing Gain or engine. How much butter? Would you like? Graham?

I think ten kg would be able to share it around the family.

Yeah, okay you could? You could you managed to disseminate that distribute that.

Oh yes, brilliant, Good on you.

I appreciate your sense of adventure there with ten kgs. I want it on the radio, guessing what time the alert would come through, you know, Tommy, Tommy, you're good, Tommy, welcome.

I reckon. I mean I speak for a lot of people. I reckon. Everybody's after the ten kg and I'm going to do six twenty seven, and you.

Want the whole lot, the whole shooting match.

Well, no, I was thinking, why don't I, Why don't I give I'll give five kg to the people above and below me and I'll take I give you four four kg to the people above and below me, and I'll take one two kg.

Wow?

Is that.

God?

That's generous?

Yeah.

So suddenly six twenty six and six twenty eight, yep, become better numbers because you've got streak, because even if it comes one number less, you're getting better.

Yeah, that's right, got to give.

Away, that's tom Dan. Can we accommodate that? We can't go on your spreadsheet though, can you? Gets brilliant, Tommy. So you want to get two kilograms and the people either side will get four? That sounds good, that's Tommy at six twenty seven people. So suddenly six twenty six and six twenty eight you got like you've got like a consolation chance. Gosh, has there ever been such a complicated sweep steak? Marcus? How about if people want the money,

Hi, Hi Marcus. I'd like six twenty three?

Is it gone?

No?

That's next to desiree. Who wants the money? That's Pam five ten Cag's a butter for you.

Pem Oh, i'd like the ten cake.

Lots of bacy, brilliant.

What's your favorite thing to bake?

Oh?

Now the prize is five or ten kgs of butter from Costco and all the slots have gone, so that's what's happened. I think it was Desiree that wanted the cash for I got that right. I think

How are you good?

George? Thank you?

Look I'm ringing a few nights, two or three days. I don't know exactly when I heard an excerpt on the radio of a scene of a native snake in New Zealand, Wow, which apparently is in the South Island, and it is cited about it's or eight times a year. And I'm just ringing to find out whether or not you can find out or whether some of your people who listen to you can give you an indication of it.

And it's a sea snake, not a landsnake.

George, it's a land snake.

It's a land snake.

Yeah, And apparently it's in the South Island and it gets seen about six or eight times a year.

What show was it on, what station was it on?

Look, I don't know. I just heard it very briefly two or three days a week ago, and I've been sort of mulling it over. And they said something about having a Mary name. I haven't heard any more about out it, and I haven't heard anyone else saying anything about it, but it was quite definitely something that was said on a radio station that I just happened to hear.

You've got no idea what that would likely to be used talk ZB.

I don't know. Well, if I did know, I would tell you, but I just happened to because I don't sort of listen to a lot of radio, and I just happen to be sort of whatever it was, and that was Island. I just heard this guy's talking about this native snake in the South Island that only yet seen six or eight times aer year, and they were talking about the mary name of it.

So I thought, I can't think of what it could be.

No, I don't know either. I just thought maybe you could find out on your confusion, or whether someone listening to your program may have some inkling of it. But I've never ever heard of it, and as I always thought us everyone with snake.

Free unless it was a crake, I don't know.

I've got no idea. I just did that except of it. I only heard it very briefly.

Yeah, I just wonder if it was a craake.

I have no idea. I will never clue. But as I say, I just thought maybe someone might ring in and say about it, or you might say it on your computer or some such thing, you know. Yeah, anyway, I leave it.

With your film.

Do you know what the multi word for it was?

No, no, because I didn't hear it. They just saying it, talking about something to do with the merry name of it. But for whatever reason, I didn't hear the rest of it. Whether I walked out of the room or where, I don't know. I just heard that little bit about it, you know.

But it could have been a bird the crak that's from suggesting. But you think that's not right?

Well I don't.

No.

They just said about the snake that you only get to get seen once sex or eight times in the South Island, and outside of that, I don't know. But I thought, well, I haven't heard anything more about it. But I thought, well, maybe someone who might have heard more of it might be able to ring you and tell you more.

What's your interest in it?

Well just basically that I just heard it on the radio, and I was always left with the impression that news even with snake free. And that's as much as I know.

Are you like okay, George, I let it go.

Thank you.

Teen to eleven Phillips Marcus.

Welcome hello, just about the mysterious snake. From time to time, eels will leave one ribbert or scream ask me, or one habitat for an other and and go to another. And they will squirm and wibble themselves across the ground, which they are capable of doing. And now it is highly possible that that that that was the sighting that someone saw and thought I bore back to snake. And of course it had a marry name.

It was a tee yeah Turner Hickey. Yeah, yeah, appreciate it, Phil, Thank you, evening, Sam Marcus, welcome.

Oh side Marcus. I just missed the last call that he mentioned the snake.

No, not really said it could be an eel.

Oh no, noble, there was a snake. I listened to it. Can I tell you the radio station?

Of course you can.

It was Jesse Mulligan's afternoon show Critics the Week, Yes, and he can if he tunes it and he can find the audio of the program. But it's the venomous, ocean dwelling yellow bellied sea snake.

Oh yeah, yeah, well yeah, well I think anyone knows is a sea snake? Okay, yeah, okay, because he said very much it was a land snake.

Okay, yeah, yeah, Well it's just it's called the hydrophis orus and.

There's about eight come up a year. But it's the South is it South Island?

It's often said to you has no snakes, But I'm just sting that the social snakes in her orders. No, it doesn't say but.

I don't think. I don't think that comes down. Yeah, okay, you.

Might have heard another program, but that's the one.

Yes, last thing that's last thinking of as well, Sam, thank you for that. Hey, seven away from eleven people, I'm hitdled twelve. My mother in law had a dead snake in a jar that she swears they caught in Wistport. I saw the snake, but always questioned whether it was caught in Wistport. Definitely a snake. I think the news i'd about a stake that gentleman was talking about my have been a sea snake. I'm sure be a sea snake,

I just heard you mentioned the thinking of eighteen miss Hodden. I've always, all my life, I've been that of an enthusiast, enthusiast about naval matters. I'll tell you just today I I had a build of Fuller come to my place and I mentioned that I had a model of a Tammi model and brought it out and showed it to him. He didn't know very much about them, so I gave him a rundown on what happened in nineteen forty one, And it wasn't.

Tire you keep going.

It wasn't until a few hours later I realized that it was today in history that Hood was stunk.

Could you give many great Could you give me the rundown?

Yeah?

Sure.

HMS Hood was a battle cruiser built at the end of the First World War, commissioned in nineteen eighteen nineteen twenty roundabout then. So it wasn't It didn't have as much armor as a proper battleship, but it had a margin of speed over a battleship, and the belief was that speed was aetion in itself, making it harder for enemy battleship to keep it keep contact with with a faster anyhow, it was a pride of the Royal Navy through the inter war years. Visited New Zealand in nineteen

And there were fourteen hundred people on board, is that right.

Yeah, fourteen hundred and nineteen I think, or eighteen.

Why so many, Well, in.

Those days you needed a fair number of crew in the engine room and in the boiler rooms, and in the four gun turrets there were four twin gun turrets, because it had eight fifteen inch gun turrets, and there might have been about approximately one hundred men servicing each of those turrets right down in the magazines, and the men down in the magazines were a lot down there. They had no chance of getting out. That was normal, you know, for the safety of the ship, not the

Just to come of quick questions, grant is the is the reason a Hoods remembered?

Is it?

What of Is that Britain's worst maritime disaster?

Yeah? For the Royal Navy it quite probably is.

Yeah, okay, and it must have been it must have been a lucky shot from the bis Mark that sunk it so quickly.

Well, there's a great controversy there because Bismarck was accompanied by a cruiser with age inch guns and the Hoods weakest feature was its deck armor at the flat deck, not a side armor, so the British hammer wanted to get in close too to prevent the to overcome the

Situation, that's sort of interesting. Look, was there an end to the story with the builder right once you told him the story as well? Who you'd finished that part of it? I know, I interrupted you when you're talking about the builder after you'd shown him the model.

Well, he's so much younger than me. He didn't know anything about it was all new to him. He didn't know about the bismark or the battle or anything. A great movie called I think The Business sort of tells it fairly accurately what happened in those few days. Britain was in a very very vulnerable position, facing defeat. Even even though they'd won the Battle of Britain, they were by no means out of trouble. With the Germans holding all all of Europe around them.

So how long was there between the hoods sunk and between the Bismarcks sunk? What was the gap of time there?

Well, three days am six am on the twenty fourth and ten am on the twenty seventh. Yeah, there was a mighty case.

Oh I appreciate you coming through Grant. That's revery interesting and it's interesting that you've got that model. We just mentioned that today, But thank you for that good evening. Diet's Marcus welcome?

Oh him, Marcus, Hey, well, I have to say what an amazing call it was.

Yeah, wasn't it just hit all those specter's hands there like that?

Yeah, and it was interesting because you could actually, you know, understand what he was, you know, indicating. It was just incredible. So good on him. Mine mine's pretty boring after it really into climax after that. But anyway, I started ringing because I've just costed out my beautiful date scones.

Yep, how many?

I did eight? Or I do eight and ate fairly good sized ones and they work out to be and I've allowed for a bit of electricity as well, and I can make eight beautiful SCons for fifty four cents each.

Wow, and it's go. And it's with butter.

That's with I actually use one hundred grams of butter. So I really do a buttery beautiful.

Okay, you're not skimping. Sorry, you're not skimping on the ingredients. You're using the butter.

I'm not skimping.

It's just me.

So I do one hundred grands of butter, three cups of self raising flour, teaspoon of baking powder just to stride in for the excellence, and a cup of milk and whack it together, and I mix up oh a half dozen dates or about eight dates. So I've costed them in as well. And so I've added in a dollar for electricity because it only takes ten minutes.

And yeah, and how long does it take to make?

Oh?

Probably I could do a batch in about ten minutes, could have an Now, okay.

That's the thing. So you probably have to put a fewer commercial kitchen. You'd have to pay the baker and that might be seven dollars labor or something like that.

But even so, well, okay, even so, there's something terribly wrong. And I felt really said, I agreed with John when he was talking about it this morning, about the library and people going in there. You know that it's over the top, and I think what happens is.

How do you been saying it's a pretty good operation. It's a pretty buzzy operation. That library. It's a fantastic library. I think the cafe is very good there.

It probably is, but I just think that now and then you know, it's just a shame that such high prices are on such really basic stuff, because maybe I should contact the library and say, look, I can deliver them the scones, and you know they can deliver them to people for even three or four dollars.

Nice to hear from you, do. I thank you ten away from twelve. Good evening, April Ats Marcus, welcome.

Oh good evening, Marcus. I was really interested to hear about Agamus Hood because when I was seventeen I joined the Remens in England, the Women's Royal Naval Service. My first posting was to Whitehall and working in the communications into their encoding and decoding, and my commanding auser there was Lieutenant Ed Briggs and he was one of those

Did he talk about his circumstance.

Was he was he on a.

Very lucky part of the ship to have survived or did you know anything about what happened that how he was able to survive.

The well, well, he just said that for some for some reason, he got blasted into the water. He said, it was like as if as if some wind had had blasted him into the water. And he was well away from the ship, and he he raced over and held up one of the other survivors, one of the other the two and held them up and until you know, flotsam came up that they were able to hold on too.

I missed the story from the previous guy and was there a one of the English the British ships came and talk about the water? Is that quite soon after? Is that what happened?

They were in the water quite some time? Apparently I sat down with him one day during what we called stand easy and stickies, and he was just talking about my background, and that's when I discovered that he was

And what year would have that been that you were there?

I was there in nineteen sixty three. I was one of the first intakes of seventeen year old you know, they kept offping the age. But I was only there for nine months because I was transferred to Fleet airon and I went down to work in the tower at Caldos in Cornwall doing you know, a controst, doing air control work.

And he would have been in his fifties then would that be right. Ever, kind of got the time time frame.

Right when you're seventeen, Marcus.

Yeah, you're col I could work it out myself.

He still had dark hair, but I can remember its thinning. And he showed me a photograph of him as a nable semen where he was he was a sort of medium height and quite quite slender in the you know that their uniform with a bill bottom and the the the oversized collar. But of course he was an officer so well, officer juniforman had filled out quite fastly since the war. But I could still see it was the

I think Grant would really appreciate that connection with him being so knowledgeable that so thank you so very much. That's a great way to round that off.
