That's a power move (20 May 2025)

You're listening to the Marcus Lush Nights podcast from News Talks, that'd be he.

I wait, first, first up, people, in the last half hour hearing reports that there are internet outages affecting people right around the country. I think we've been affected by that too. So if you if your internet's it's not your dodgy cables. It's down. So if that resonates with anyone, it should because it's down. Where we getting this from Dan sources Facebook, social media. So internet's down and it's to do with chorus apparently. So yeah, it's not that,

I'm not much it's been a year and a half now, and I through my TV and my radio and internet and everything out. Wow. So yeah, and I got rid of my phone.

How are you listening to me?

Well, just let me explain. Sorry, I got rid of my phone in December and my daughter got me another phone and probably March so I can ring my father and that. But yeah, I've been without for any connection. I had pretty much no connection. I just your your programs. I just listened to there occasionally and there things are going pretty good.

Anything you want to know about the world.

Yeah, well what's going along? Mate? Like I don't know much about it at all.

You know, you know, Trump's beck allan, Trump's becon, he got the.

I do hear the news, but I don't really just sort of go straight past me in one area and out the other.

I know Trump's back, I don't know what the other news is.

Well, there's a few wars in that going on.

Ye, the wars haven't stopped, and.

New Zealans looking a little dismal reason we should.

I kind of thought you hang on. I kind of thought you're bringing up because your internet was out.

Well I don't have the internet.

Yeah, but when you ring up a televis you don't have internet. He'd think, oh, well, it means clean the internet out. He doesn't know that you're actually having it for two years.

Yeah, a year and a Half's Marcus. What I was going to say about the government, and that is to as you get professional people in from the other side of the world to come in and manage the situation we're in because I think we're a little bit naive. Is what healthing is worth in the world.

But you can't keep an eye on them because you've got no media.

Yeah.

But the thing is, Marcus, that's if you see it and hear it, you carry it with you and it lives with you, it lives inside you.

Okay, not quite the discussion I want to start off with today, but thank you. I appreciate you coming through. I was more concerned to sort up people the internet out of just people. So get in touch of you, ort to talk one him is Marcus, welcome, So I am on about people. If you've lost Internet, give me a holo quickly. Just think we're got how I think it's Auckland, Wellington and christ Church. Marcus did the reboot?

Marcus, Mom and Fong Ray. And we don't have any internet up here where I am trying to get in touch with the provider. And they apparently go close up shop at eight o'clock and they tell you to leave post a thing on boardband, sending your complaint on boardband. If you have any Internet, you can't.

Anything because you haven't got the broad band. That's like saying, oh, they need to be taken out and put out to pasture. That's crazy. I can imagine how frustrated people would be if they're depending on the Internet for their business and it says email us. People would be throwing their computers against the wall.

Yeah. I did say there's been a bit of that tonight. So and they closed the customer service at eight o'clock. Well, my internet was out before seven point thirty and I couldn't get through. There was no It said that I've phoned outside the hours, But on the on the web it says that they don't close till eight o'clock.

So that sounds like it. It sounds that they waited went home from work before they kicked the can and broke the whole thing.

Could be. Can I ask you a question, because you're close to the hydro lakes down there, have we got enough water for electricity throughout the the winter.

Last time I was in Tiana, which would be eight eight weeks ago. Seven weeks ago, I surprised how little water there was in there, and there hasn't been a great deal of rain since it's been through dry down south. I imagine you can check the levels, can you.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.

I don't know.

Should you be worrying about it?

Well, I'm just worried if we've had a lot of rain, that the levels have risen, that the price doesn't seem to have come down, and the price went up because we're supposedly going to be short of electricity throughout the winter.

That's like butter. When no one's buying it overseas, we're still paying arm in the leg. But when it's up in priced, whoop up she goes. It's like one of those things that goes out, doesn't come down.

That's correct.

Comparative lake levels. I'm trying to read new data here. They're well though. I'm looking at National High. They're trending back up towards the average. I'm looking at Pookaki, looking at Southide, looking at Tiana is up above the medium now, so we're all right there. Manipur is up above the medium. Yeah, no, it's only it's but fevery March April May they're well below, but just towards the end of the May, they're trending towards back up to normal.

So does that mean electricity prices will come down?

Tony? The thing that confuses me is the line fees, because didn't we pay for the lines ourselves? Isn't it like government infrastructure?

That's correct, yes, the.

While we paying line fees. I mean, I've never really understood power or how the model works, but it confuses me in some ways.

But isn't the line fees or the maintenance in upgrading.

Oh is it what they call it line maintenance?

Then?

Is it the linesman and those cherry pickers that's this? See they well gets eighty bucks a month. Thank you, Tony. Sixteen past eight Marcus Internet good with all, Good with spark party. Marcus. Just checking the chorus outage map for you. The outages seem to be copper outages in Auckland, christ Church, Hamilton, Mudapara and other areas south of the tron. So there's a chorus outage map. Who knew chorus outage map?

Gee?

People, how would they check that if they? Oh, they'd be someone where they've got the internet. Oh, yes there is. That's a very good map. I don't think it's Murdapara. It's Katiki which is west of Rorimu and all Fungoh, but you're right about Murdapata. That's out. It's kind of weird the places that are out actually, but Auckland, fang aare and maybe all Mokeroa and the South Island christ Church or Lincoln that seems to be out. Also, if you want to talk about this eight hundred and eighty

Yeah, and I just got to talk to you again. You need but you can need me into the to the list two year went down to uh, that's some spine and we're on pulse. Everyone's down.

Who's your internet with?

There?

Ish pulse?

Okay, there's a great pair of innersative thing that that everything a bit cheaper. And then and the and the intimate speeds they get croppled.

So it's a good love.

How did you know it was down?

I can't get TV. You can't get in the computer or the TV.

That's TV went through it too, isn't it. That's like yeah, okay.

So I checked online and you just just confirmed on the phone that comes that it's down and they're working on it.

They've got a reconnection date.

Yesterday would be good.

Not from me, thank you? Do we twenty six past eight Internet? It's down, by the way. And as far as the guy that ate the Cessna plane, Scott has texted, did he season the Cessna? Or was a little plane?

Very good?

My dad has the usual ability to anor my mother, but she still loves him. To Darcy age eleven, Thank you, Darcy Marcus. A sculpcher at the roundabout at Paaleeri is amazing. It's the Bird of Peace by Fred Graham, who sadly died recently such a talented used in sculptor. That's right, yes, and a great age too. He looked amazing. I think it was at ninety five. So that's that eagle that's near the one on the way to Tito and a hobbiton. But yeah, I don't know who funded that. It doesn't matter,

Do you.

Unplug it? Counter ten? Count another ten, then plug it back and again. I don't know why ten seconds happens to be the special length of time. Get in touch. My name is Marcus. Welcome eight hundred eighty ten eighty nine ninety two to text. If there's something else you want to mention, good the internetut is, but maybe your strange ability. The only other topic I've got for you now is in the UK they want to go back to a three term year and have the longest summer break.

I can't wait till we get the roll for the train going to in Becabo. The leading again.

Should be waiting a long time.

No, they said a couple of rides, and I reckon it's going to go ahead.

They only started a couple of rides because they wanted to keep the There was there's maintenance on the trans Alpine and they had that sphere conscious to keep the staff going. So I think they've run those to kind of appease people, but they're extraordinarily expensive, like four times a cost of flying.

You know Beckham the day with Steve you fly? No, No, But Beckham the David had a step party and you're throwing mate on the train. He put him under the weather stick in the train before he got married. And you've got your pactors.

Brilliant, that's inspired. So he'd wake up, wake up, hangover, didn't know where he was yet. Did you did you do that to anyone?

Oh?

We didn't have a couple of guys.

Yeah, did they make?

Did they make?

Did they make their wedding?

They missed, they missed, They carry them, They missed their wedding. But Beckham David, that's what we've done with I can't really tell you. Marcus.

Okay, here's a were you born in the thirties?

Plus this?

Okay, did you remember when you go out on the on the tiles right into a party?

Right?

Yeah? And that's the cold meat pie is.

Cutting four Stevie's pause.

Yeah, would you hang on? Would you serve cold meat pies cutting four.

Well, probably not, okay, I heard that.

I'll find out much. There's always someone about the trains, aren't they. I want to know what your unusual ability is. I'm still going to ask about that. Come on, people with your unusual abilities. It might be double jointed in this or it might be Marcus had no internet for an hour. It just came back on. Now I had to hotspot the old work phone. You could do watching my show. I listened to the raady at the same time. Good at multitasking one point five gigs for an hour

He ate that.

That's a that's a power move to eat the award. Yeah, assorted raises and bolts. Yeah, there is a picture book in his life called how to Eat an Aeroplane. I think I pronounced that wrong. So your unusual skills, Marcus, he probably died of too much plaque on his teeth. Better to rust out than fade away, Marcus. My extraordinary ability is poetry. I ring and shortly. Yes, we don't do poems. You know why we don't do poems because people that think that ring the radio think that they

Is it you go?

I guess one of those chup and cheerful ones. We pump and dump yourself, do you?

Is that right?

You go?

It's a great name. Got to give them that, Marcus high. My unusual is ability is it sixty seven years of age, I am still able to get my right foot big toe up and into my mouth. I'm very proud of being able to do this, no mean feat. My friends won't even try this maneuver. Yeah, I could probably do that, although I'm not sixty seven. I don't know someone that could get their fists in their mouth too. But like beyond their teeth. That was pretty impressive. I won't say

Glynn.

Hello, dear Marcus.

Yeah, it is Glean here.

I noticed that guy was talking earlier on about line chargers on player bills and just got rid of them quite quickly. But anyway, Mayor, I'm a lad back on from the second phone call that i've made.

That were you. Were you on before talk about the Internet?

No, no, that he would have let me on if I was talking about the ind but not about line charges. But you said it's open to him whatever you want to talk.

That guy was called Glean too, was it?

I don't know what his name has got no idea anyway.

So it was Glenn. So already we've got already, we've got two glens.

No, I don't know. I've got no idea how many gleanship I don't know.

No, there was a there was a glen before. How many INDs of you got.

Two?

One?

Oh?

The differently different line charges were in fact line charges for years and years years, and that's the up to up the grade the infrastructure. And I don't know what's happened to the upgrading of the infrastructure, but now they want more money for line charge. What happened to the last to the people that investors of the pairer companies get all that money and there's not not much infrastructure

Well, I guess it's a lot of weird and tear. Like there's those guys when they had to unbolt that tower and painted it fell over. That's what they're doing, aren't they? Maintenance?

Well, it wasn't very good maintenance, so that maybe that's some of the line charges.

Went exactly, it was terrible, that all the bolts.

Terrible, But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about real line, real maintenance, A lot fixing not destroying, And so where does that go ordered that all the line charges that of me and everyone else in New Zealand have paid for the last five years, went to fix that one payer pile on that fell over? Nothing seems that didn't fall over hang on, it got well bad maintenance. We just arrest the line charges. And now they want all the line charges to upgrade all the systems.

Have line charges gone up Glenn.

Between ten and thirty dollars per power bill, which is monthly for every person in New Zealand, regardless of using Contact or Pulse or all those other all those other pair companies, everybody's line changes have gone up.

I think you probably okay, we'll put that into the mix. Have you got any interesting skills or abilities gleaned? They are unusual.

I got plenty of the Marcus.

How much time tho you got is the one that stands out.

They all seeing that to me and my partner. But anyway, that's all I wanted to say if you want to put it out they are sure they're not the only person that thinks that way. Where's all the rest of the line charges gone that we've been paying for forever?

And now I just okay?

Regards to your partner too, Glen, that's nice, Thank you. Thirteen to nine Marcus gooday from Dave. My usual talent. I can write with both hands and I hold my breath underwater for three minutes forty five seconds. That's a good time, isn't it? Wait how long I could hold my breath for these days? I could do a minute. That would be it. So you might struggle for it? What's normal for holding your breath? Should I do it? In en our tap to see? Say no, I'm still alive right?

One?

Two, three? Or do this all together? See how we go? How long you hold your breath for? On your Marx, I can't say. I'll say, go within and hail on your max. Get set on your max, gets it go h h.

H h h h h.

M hm mhm.

H k h.

M hm.

Hm hm.

Oh it's hard to get to a minute, wasn't it. Oh, here's time I get to stop watch on Chay. I was looking at the clock. That was more just. I thought it would be its gonna inspire. There would be an ignominious ignominently is ending idiot dies on radio trying to hold breath. I mean that's honestly, that would go around there they go viral, wouldn't it? Cheapers, Marcus, my unusual ability. I get twelve crumpets in one sitting. Oh delicious,

How are you?

How are you good?

Thinking?

What's that to all those wonderful people who have the arts and skills of doing furniture restoration, the likes of lacquering and French polishing. What's happened to them all? Where are they all gone?

I don't think people luck Okay, I don't think people want that sort of furniture anymore. That brown furniture no one wants.

Oh some of that is just absolutely fair. And people who can do fluxing what great to finish on tin. That's an art.

Are you looking for a French polisher or are you a French polish Yes?

I am.

I am actually looking for someone who can do some French polishing for me?

Is that what those chalette the wings of the insects. Is that what French polishers use?

Oh, yes, yes they do. I'm trying to find someone around who's got a bit of who's been doing it for quite some time, who's got a bit of skill and tenacity about doing these things, so you can give somebody.

Can you not find a French polisher?

I want someone who's who's spent years doing it.

What have you got, Bark, you've been a bit evasive with your details. Have you got have you got something to get?

Music box?

It's a music box, but eighteen eighty Swiss plays about twelve tunes. It's been under somebody's bed for a long time.

It's a music box, is it?

What is it?

A music box?

What is that?

London music to play? To play conical records.

At place and has a cylinder and that if you ever been to or fairy Mead or it's out.

Or unfortunately I have the most boring days of my life. So it's a cylinder that you play that as a record?

Right, Well, it's got it's got a comb with teeth on it, yes, and it needs to be revitalized. It's destroyed out, it's got market treatment Rosewood Bora like attacking it. But unfortunately that's what happens for this one's has not got any more and it's just been under somebody's bed.

Are the mechanics good?

I had an old sent over to somebody in the States who took the whole thing to pieces and repinned the whole thing for me.

Okay, what's your what you how many? How many different cylinders have you got?

Well, it's got one cylinder plays twelve tunes. Amongst them is one which people would know would be a Liberty March Monty Python.

Yeah, yeah, okay, how that goes again?

The tune London under dund Yeah, and with a big sort of yeah, I know it.

Well, so you got on the internet. Did you get on the internet to find your restore in the Americas?

Oh?

No, got kent when I go over there on Minael George to find things and bring things back. I am there's these people who have got skills and things over there that we just don't have the demand for over here. The likes of the vintage car flexing people who can replicate wood grange finish of oak, tiger oak on tin, amazing well of early cars had that a lot of

He I don't know.

He accumulates and has his options. It's amazing.

Uh.

The mechanical workings of those things you have to send offshore for the best results in the size of everything mechanical. I mean to say, people say pianolas, pianolas, Well, pianolas, don't they wants them anymore? The romantics that the the tubing, the bellows, what they were made out of a very rubber that that breaks down.

Of course it does. Yeah, Hey, look, market, it's nice to hear from me. I've got to go to the news, but thank you for that. Maybe we'll hear from some French polishers, but it's probably on a demand for it. You just want the old people come out of retirement for it. That would be my pick on that one. I'll be back on the other side of the news if you want to talk here till twelve o'clock tonight. So for the guy that was called before the news, the guy that was on about his music box, right,

Is that right?

We are looking for people their special abilities. What I find interesting about this in twofold one is what people's special abilities are, and two what people consider a special ability. You might be able to remember numbers. I mean, I'm doubling down on this because I've said that's the topic, so I'm committed.

To it now.

I can't change now. So we are stuck with this. It's a trouble when you get on the limb with a topic like this. People aren't impressed with Glenn with two ends. By the way, just so if that's you Glenn. A lot of sexist things about the special talent, people putting up with their wives and stuff. By the way, Bunnings sell shellac. Of course they do. Good evening, Gonne. It's Marcus, welcome allaa.

I have got a dark special things. What's round?

I can't understand you?

The swinging Oma.

Gone? Can you stop? Can you just say what you said again? Slowly so I can hear it, hear the words.

I am called the singing Homer. Now Omer has Dutch her grandmother.

Oh, well, of course you are.

I love singing. There's one particular song. Would you like to hear it?

Well?

When I thought a special skill, I thought it could be someone that could like drive cross handed, or I wasn't looking for singing. But now that you've said that, has anyone besides your family said you've got a special skill?

Yes? Who I sing a can down? I sing that have my drive and I'm out there on my reeler.

Do you sing outside? Do you sing as your shop or outside? Countdown?

Yes?

I don't. Money's away. I was singing with some children and see Wincy.

Spider, I couldn't be there. Tell us you what you bet? What songs do you do?

There's one the very special comes from the sound of music. A false and foes free morning you gree me small lang, bright, clean and broadwise.

Free?

Morning you greed maybe of snow. May you bloom and grow, baom and grow for before a us boys my home landfall. Oh Marcus, So we're upping on their singing.

Now are you a bascar When you say you sing, do you sing outside the super singing? Is your shop?

Yes? And then I saw it with's my friends. I was singing roans to the children and countdown to keep them quiet today?

Okay, but do you actually pass outside count DOWNA we have a stapie.

That you don't, do you just because I love music? Here's another one on one. I'm in a rock career.

That's it. But when you say you sing outside countdown, are you just standing there singing?

I am.

Chopping?

Oh he's singing your shop? Okay? Yes, okay, because if I understood that you sung when you're shopping and beard, then I mean it's not a speak. I mean I like, thank you for singing Connie. I mean, I don't want to disparage that because it was beautiful, But yeah, I don't know if that's a special skill. Someone says they can say all the words backwards, but they've texted me that rather than ringing in Marcus, your special skill is not cutting the singer off. Thank you, yes, thank you.

Get a Marcus.

Now you can read words backwards?

Well yeah, I've never tested it on the on the air before.

But do you think your powers might How can we do this though? I mean, because I can't show you words?

Can I just give me a word? Look at an object in the studio, Tell me the word. I'll try to say it backwards as fast as I can.

Wow, okay, wow, most of them are quite difficult. The things I'm looking at.

Yeah, you don't just take it easier and we can ramp up the disaccording.

Yeah, okay, yeah, because i's got to go straight with the microphone. We work up towards that one. Not ukham oh wow, microphone wow, television.

Oh, television, noises oh noise is valet wow?

Computer computer.

Oh oh that's a tough one.

Mark okay, light shade, light shade, tip.

Build that sort of thing. I think it's difficult when you got some of those consonants.

Yeah, no, I thought light was difficult. We've got a lot of constants and not may veils.

There was light yeah, g h t th h g.

But yeah, imagine, I imagine with practice you get pretty good at this.

I actually discovered it and I was sort of, you know, under the influence of something at one point at the bar, and ever since then I've just ran with it.

So were you asked that as the bar in different drinks backwards?

Well, we sha something like that, something like that.

What did you start not a stone lagger, a regal nets.

Yeah, Luily, well yeah, yeah, like the German on tap.

Or Jacob mister okay, and has it got better since?

Well?

Yeah, I think you also.

Yeah, with practice, you improve, but a lot of it was just pure talent, I have to say.

So, how often do you wheel it out, Jeeves?

Just you know, at the pub every now and then when you've got a when there's a new coming to the group, you know, sometimes just to staff of them a little bit. Or if you have anyone who has just LEI around, they're particularly impressed.

So can you read books? You can read all the words backwards and books.

Yeah, I haven't got much of the attention span these days.

No, I presume text is easy when you're looking at it.

Right, Yeah, it's yeah, it looks fun really.

Okay, I appreciate your moxy, George, thank you very much for that.

There we go.

George can read words backwards and was brave enough to ring up Marcus. How would the guy consume the aircraft get on going through the middle tech at the even I don't believe you could eat a plane. But he ate his record, he ate his award he was given. That was I mean, what a boss of That is. Good evening, Gabriel, Good evening, Marcus.

I'm not sure if it's a real talent, but I can identify any car around the world from nineteen thirty nine through to nineteen eighty five, with a specialty in English cars and American cars. Well, so that's a span of about I don't know, fifty years or whatever.

And I know there will be some real train spotters out there, are there? So you know, I presume there's some planes. So there's some cars, and there's select variations. Can you tell me about that? Can you spot those as well? Like, tell me what an example of that would be.

Well, like, as I mentioned, my specialty is American and English. You'd have, well, you've got Cadillac, bure, Goldenmobile, pontierc and Ship, Mopa or Chrysler, you have the or used to have the Imperial New Yorker windsor there's a whole range of cars.

If it comes to cars like Volkswagens, you'd know what year they were, when they changed the rear windows and stuff like that, you know there, Yeah, yeah, okay, you know what the variations and a model over the years.

Yeah, yeah, I do. But yeah, I do know most of the variations of the European cars and Italian cars, and of course I was the cars. But I've never met anybody who knows as many cars.

It's how you got that skill.

I don't know. When I was a kid, father used to say I had a photographic memory, which I didn't have a clue what that was at the time, But yeah, I just remember. I just remember cars, and I always have done.

So have you traveled over? Have you travel over? Have you travel overseas to see them all? Because I presume with some of them there wouldn't be many in New Zealand.

Yeah, that's right, And no, I haven't traveled overseas, so you know all the ones.

In New Zealand. If you see anything, really you know straight away what it is.

Yeah, for sure, generally, for sure.

Even I suppose watching TV programs you'd see stuff too, wouldn't you tell you?

It's a bit weird Marcus before YouTube come along, say before that, I would sit through hours of some movie that was probably not a B grade but probably a D grade. It would be an hour of it just to catch the cars that were in it.

Wow.

Well, now there are actual channels on YouTube where they'll take like cars from Andy Griffin Show or cars from Mod Squad, so they just cut out everything else but the cars.

What channels would they be.

It's on a YouTube one and it's called Cars from.

And it's.

TV series that have been on in the past, Bewitched, Mod Squad and Griffiths Show.

There's a lot are your first dating now, Gabriel? Do you see cars? Which part of your Zealand are you in?

What's that?

Where are you in New Zealand? What what island?

I'm I'm in Auckland, Okay.

Do you often see cars on the road that do you? Do you often see old cars on the road that you can't recognize.

I haven't come across one yet, wow, mm hmm. Yeah, I've always been able to do that. Yeah, but probably you know I love cars from when I was young so and at the moment on driving a Toyota so I've got nothing American at the moment.

I used to, but not even longer.

It probably goes be that, does it?

What's it?

Yeah?

It goes very well. And I don't know about that. It's just about maintenance, keeping the maintenance up on a big American car if you can afford the guess did.

You learn them or when you were a younger, did you learn them on the road or did you learn them from books?

I learned them through TV, on books and on the road.

We'd be driving along the road and.

My family would ask me what their car was, and I'd tell them what it was, and then, you know, sometimes other members of the family may not believe it, so I'd grab a book and show them or tell them about their particular car. Yep, it was the car.

Fascinating Gabel, Thank you so much for coming through that. I do appreciate that. Queving Barry Marcus, Welcome.

Good a Marcus.

Here.

I can divine water.

Oh wow are you?

Yeah?

I've always been able to since I was a little kid. My grandfather could do it. My father couldn't do it. They reckon it skips a generation for some weird reason. I can also pick up like living KBA power cables in the ground. I just use a copper rod.

Is the rod bent?

Yeah?

It is, and I can feel it move. It's kind of weird. I can walk along and I can feel it move, and the direction it moves to is the direction the water is flowing.

Okay, And how are people using you Berry for your skills?

No?

But I work well? Yes and no, because I did actually spend a few decads. It's working in the industry, and it's just one of those things I reckon. As we know, there's a waterline here somewhere, there's no records, and I've had to go and actually found them, and yeah, it works. It's it's real.

It's kind of weird.

It's fun though, it's actually fun.

And when you say the industry, you worked in water services, right.

Water industry?

Yeah? Yeah.

Have you got theories?

Have you got theories on how it works?

No?

I don't.

I have no idea at all. My grandfather used to use a forked willow branch school, which was kind of weird, and I never believed it. I didn't believe it at all. He used to decide where to dig wells because he was sort of a contractor's way back. And I had to go at it playing with you, working with hum and stuff, and I discovered that the best thing for me was a bit of copper roll. Anyway, that's just one bit of fraud.

It's just one, not one in each hand.

No, just one, just one on my left hand. And I'm left handed, and I can't do it with some right hand, but I can do it with some left hand's that's the way it works.

Brilliant. Really nice to hear from your Barry. Thank you.

Wee there we go.

Wow Wow what a half hour a boys, What a gifted audience. What special talents? Marcus? My friends, My best friend's skill is not being able to recognize cars. We knew someone who had to read Jaguar and one day we saw a red Muskang and he said, oh, that's Mandy's car.

I said, Okay, that car's got a horse it the jag jag on it. She said, has had the difference. Oh yeah, that's good, Marcus. Is any one game enough to ring up and confess?

There have been t mood the lattest term to describe a TAMU customer disappointed with an item they ordered, paid for a received from Tim but it wasn't what they were expecting in it too embarrassed to admit it. Anyone got any button? Does TEAMU do Butter? That would be the future of team who did Butter? That would be a good night and talk back. I doubt they do. Doubt they do. Doubt they don't keep those texts coming from enjoying a lot of those. Maybe someone's special skill

There you go, Marcus good Philip, I was just calling about the special talents thing that you're talking about.

You've rung the right show.

I definitely did.

Now.

I know that being ambidexterous can be very kind of typical in today's day. But I'm ambidexterous with every power tool as well as reading and writing and you know, kicking a ball and other things like that.

Wow, that'd be quite a skill, would it's.

Believe it or not, it's extremely handy on a construction site.

Imagine, So you go, okay, so and there's no there's no loss of skill with either one.

Absolutely not. There's maybe I could I there could be an argument there'd be like a slight power loss, like if I was drilling through concrete, Like maybe using my right as my dominant would take maybe ten seconds longer because I'm not being able to push as much pressure on Which.

Of the power tails would be that which of the power tells would be the most surprising that you can do both ways.

Definitely a drill, ye, any kind of power drill. Like I'm a roofer by trade, so being able to screw off both left handed and right handed is quite gobsmacking, but also being able to cut sheet metal both left handed and right handed is actually very phenomenal.

He's just cut out, but that's a shame. I just don't think we cut sheet metal with those hands. Shears would have be probably. I don't know. I've kind of bit of met I'm not sure what he's talking about with that, but thank you, Dave, Marcus welcome.

Yeah, I've been tam mood. I'm a keen temud user. But in the early days when I was getting tim I didn't look at the fabric because I generally try and order coffin. And I bought a polyester sex Excel T shirt and I was like wearing a rubbish bag.

That wouldn't be That wouldn't be good.

It wasn't. There was a most unpleasant yes, and Marcus, I can play my teeth, hamm, how is that really good?

What are you doing?

Then?

Are you?

Are you just are your hands on the just without hands?

No?

No?

I flicked with teeth with my thumb, and.

And you can get a chun with the mouth.

Are they are they real teeth? Are they your own teeth? Or false teeth?

Where aren't my They're they're my real teeth and my row and my head.

Well you putting the start? Where you getting that sound from.

From my mouth? I?

I what's it called?

Volume?

Eyes?

Or change the note with my mouth?

And I've frecked my teeth with my thumb?

Do it again?

Yeah?

How's that?

It's the show for you to know, doesn't it been?

T Yeah? Whatever?

Have you got any other songs?

You do?

No?

But I can still whistle.

That's right. That's straight to the that's straight to the highlights podcast. Well, yeah, slow stuff, but cheapest creepers. Wow, some of those. What a talented audience. I the person special skinners not to spot, not to identify cars couldn't work out a ways? Getting such a beautiful timber? What a timber?

Is it?

If I used that word rightly? Is it tim Bray? Was it good to tune too, wasn't it? It's been quite a musical show tonight with his tune and the singing Grandmother's chewed? And then the luthier what did he well he died the Liberty March or whatever. The Monty Python one was goodness, and we had no poems. It's a good thing. All major mobile networks gone down across Spain one of there's terrorism there. Pepper Pig is a

Not too bad?

Do you remember the throw at the purple plush guitar?

Tell me more?

You know my daughter rang you and I made her ring you.

Oh yes, and the grab and the grabbing machine. You're staying at the moat the hotel the mot was it called the.

Well low budget Hotel?

Yeah?

And you and and you're in one or of plus guitar at the grabber machine.

Yes exactly. And I remember why we were actually why we went up there.

For that holey.

She didn't but I did later on. It was because they bought the Formula one display to Papa. Oh yeah, that's why I went there to see that. And then on that trip it was when the internet was barely available, I bought my son the Mark two version of PlayStation okay, yeah, and then the key to it for Hebby was wondering people plush guitar. I think the phone one.

That's a true story.

You sound like, where are you from, Gabby? From the coastal somewhere?

No, I'm from Leiston.

Oh I wonder if it was Leon. You've got the floods there a well, they bought past us. Okay, where was where was the.

Ring?

You?

You know, she's good. I don't know why it was so funny, but obviously because she had no interest in Formula one, right, it was.

So true that and then she asked you asked her how long was it? And they because it was a foot long, And she bought it out the other day and sure as eggs it was a long.

So what year were talking about this? When was there a Formula one exhibition? To Papa?

It was when it was like they bought the Formula one cars over legitimately and the sinners are great.

Thing.

That's the only reason I wanted to go.

And yeah, the line man was there as well.

When I first met the line man H.

Craig.

Yeah, he's begging for money.

And where was he begging for money outside to Papa? I mean the guy that had the Craig bush. The guy had the big kits and funky that guy.

You look it up. There's a formula one they had actual legitimate woman one car was when when the first open and feelish?

I'm right, but you might burn her crew?

How well Debby?

Now she's a mainial girl.

Oh yeah, yeah, so nineteen it would be twenty fifteen or something, wouldn't it was fifteen when she's up there?

Aby was born twenty four years ago?

Yeah, okay, I think it's What did you say, Dan, two thousand and nine, GeV? Yeah, July to November two thousand and nine. You might have pulled her out of school.

Did you?

Probably on the Purple.

Brilliant GeV in good film GeV nineteen to ten year. We do remember the plays guitar Dan Brilliant, the grabbing machine. We're talking about those grabbing games. No one didn't make played those online?

Have they?

Like I said, you good real games online. I'm also discussing the disappointment getting t mood when you get something from Timu, that's completely wrong, but you're too embarrassed to tell anyone. I've never bought anything on Timu. I brought some things. I brought some things once from Ali Barba, and I'm not yet ready to tell you what those things are. But what is the most extraordinary thing about

That.

Freaks me out of it, Davo. Ooh, so what we are talking about today? I'm talking Abou. I've been reading about the man that ate a Cessna plane. Yeah, true story. He died of natural cause at fifty seven. He just didn't just need a plane. He ate all sorts of things. I don't know if he got any enjoyment for it. It did it for the attention, but he got a metal kind of plark from the Guinness Book of Records and he ate that which has made my day to day. Marcus.

Hey Marcus.

Yeah, I was just thinking about you seeing about special skills and there's split back in Canada where I'm from, in British Columbia, and you go to this old kind of like ghost town place called Barkerville, and always intrigued me as a kid going to this place on countless school trips that in the in the section of this old gold mining town that you can go intour They have a section of the China town, an ancient one

But uh.

Yeah, I just thought, man, that's and the and the vial.

The viol would magnify it. So that was readable, wasn't it.

Yeah, that's right, yeah, but in a special oil so you could see the lettering.

Yeah.

So did you learn to did you guys say you loarned to do it? Jordan, No, it did not learn.

To do that, but uh.

Yeah.

And you only hang on to that file as long as you're you can as a child, until you.

Step on it or lose it.

But I'd like to do that. I'd like my name on a grain of rice. I'm just trying to think how it would be. It's height, dimension, not its length, but it would be like a nighth of it'd be about three millimeters, would it?

Yeah, like yeah, the width of a grain of rice.

Yeah, And I wonder what it's done with a really fine p and a.

I reckon there'd be some sort of it would have to be. But I mean imagine the ink though you don't you don't want any smudgets.

No, I'd like to do that. And you've lost it, have you?

Yeah?

I think my well, once I had kids, think my son might ate it or something.

But there's also those if you see those people that carve pencil lids.

I yet seen some things on the old Instagram there where they shave the graphite on the end of a on a pencil number two HB pencil.

It does say there are things. I think it says, how you can How do they put your name on a grain of rice?

Yes?

How many characters? There's up to seven characters per per name. Don't recall ever, was your first, first and second name?

Yeah?

First name, Yeah, put your whole first name on there. Maybe they flip it over, I don't know, or maybe they was double the cost.

I don't know.

I didn't know. So that's whereabouts in Canada was the gold rush? There is it on the west coast.

Yeah, British Columbia, kind of north central. This place called Wells. It's the end of the road near Williams Lake, near near Quinnell. Worry and yeah, you dry forever and ever and you hit the end of the road and there's this old gold rush town that was booming, you know, years ago.

Must hear from Jordan. Thank you for that. Found that interesting sixteen past ten. How to write on a grain of rice common long grain white rice. The rice is flat cylinder shape. Because it's flat, provides two wide surfaces for writing. Sharp utility knife. This is used to scrape the rice slated to remove ridges to provide a smooth surface for writing. Clay. Some people use a utility grip

No?

I don't think there's my thing. Surely it's Marcus welcome, Good.

Evening, Good evening. I think I've got a bit of a skill. I can play the spoons I've got some and the spoons my son got me from Canada. And I can also play just the ordinary kitchen spoons.

So the wooden spoons aren't joined, Yes they are, okay, but your kitchen ones aren't. That's right, yep, Wow, have you got kitchen ones here? Have you got the wooden ones there, I've.

Got them both sitting here on the edge of Well, let's.

Start with how will you hold the phone?

A hog on my ear?

Let's let's try the wooden ones first, and what song will you do?

I'll just just show you how they work, free format.

Love.

The sound.

Came across fantastic, came across fantastic.

Now the other ones, these are the kitchen ones.

Yes, now when you got running them over your fingers as well?

Yes?

Okay, wow? Now was it hard to learn?

No?

I don't think so.

No.

And yeah, sometimes if the music's playing at home, I'll pick up the spoons and just have a jam session. Sometimes, if I'm out and we're having music somewhere, I take more wooden spoons.

Well that was the next question I asked, How so you'll take the wooden spoons? Would you somewhere? Where would one of those places.

Sort of be?

I go down to Club Vista. Here at Paraparamu, we have a karaoke night on a Friday night.

Brilliant doesn't sound better than that club Vesta?

Wow?

Yeah, so you're not doing karaoke, you're just playing spooning along as the other people perform.

I do sing karaoke. But yeah, what you go to at.

Club Vista, Pata Padaho?

What's my go to?

What's your favorite karaoke song?

I love Geene Watson cat country music.

No, I don't know that. What's up one of their songs?

My Fareweel party?

Okay, I look that one up, Shirley, Thank you every very much for that. Twenty four past ten, Club Vista looks good. Good view water side for those that don't know it, looks tremendous, marine parade. It's my street right on the waterfront. Look at it now on Google street View. Marvelous.

Wow.

Looks at a different close up. Looks like an old planket room that they put a top on that Club Vista. Goodness, me in the Lucky Lounge, riding over the water, all over a park in the water, beautiful, dv it smart, welcome, good evening.

Do you think I really? I was primed to hoping that there'd be more talk about the Southerner, but there wasn't any, So I'm going to go with tu.

Oh oh, so the Southern I ran did the last couple of days?

Is that right?

Yeah?

They went it for four days and again, lots of people saying, oh, if it was running, we'd use it. And of the four days that it ran, only three of them were fully booked out. And it was you that for me that the only reason they're running it is because they need to use the characters because the West coastline was closed.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was a bit of bit.

It was a bit of a It was a bit of a tricky pr stunt. I thought to think, oh, we're going to explore, but they've got no intention. There'd been no demand for either because it was wildly like four hundred backs. You'd get a plane, wouldn't you.

Well, I only.

Yesterday that to go Awkward to Wellington on the Northern Explorer two hundred and fifty dollars a person.

So why would you do that when you could actually fly for an hour and it takes all day. I mean it's only for tourists and train nuts.

Well even train that's can't afford the most they were.

On the bones.

Yeah.

So and then then often with the heats, you know, you end up on a bus anyway, don't you.

That's right, And so you've just paid two hundred and fifty dollars to pose for the door exploring to do a trip that you could do on a bus for around about sixty bucks with the bus company. I can't think who doesn't these they were going to see in the city.

Yeah, anyway, yes, you go.

They did me.

They did me well. I brought a couple of items to them that that failed to materialize, and I wrote them saying, look, I think these were intercepted by customs because I can't imagine anything else. Dang well, and they said that's cool and they give them my money back.

How long did that take.

Next day?

Basically?

So you emailed them? You didn't ring them, No, I.

Just emailed them.

And but.

You're getting the idea that I can get all the left of center. What I what i'd ordered was two sets of suture training units for learning how to do stitches. And it comes with a couple of curve suitures, some poor silk I should imagine, and a skin analogue.

And what's what's the skin analog is?

That?

Does xenalogue mean it just is like skin? Or is it a computer thing?

Now?

It feels exactly like I hope, well that's what I was hoping. It's probably a bit of a rubber with real rubber on top because sticking a needle through skin istraordarily hard to do. Skind of stuff, tough stuff, And I thought, I'll learn how to suitres because that's the sort of thing I'd like to know. So I ordered a couple of these. You can get these kits if you like, teach yourself how to stick yourself together or somebody else.

I gives and the suits have got the suits have got knots in them?

Have they?

Well?

The real medicals so, but but when.

You tie suchers, you're not it's not just like sewing. You actually tie knots over each Have you got that?

Have you got?

Have you got the kit yet?

No?

It never came, and I'm not certain, but I think it was probably intercepted. It's not something customers would I think they would worry about it if they opened up and go.

He's not having this stuff because.

It's just but too weird.

I think you're not going to harm, and that you're not going to harm and then sell yourself up or anything. Are you're not doing anything like that?

I'd so myself up if I cut myself. Okay, I wouldn't even blink at that, but I wouldn't catch anybody else with them?

What would you?

What would you?

What would you use for anesthetics?

I used to have a vial of novercaine that I've acquired from somehow that's long since God. But if you if you had an accident, you right at the start of it, you've got enough adrenaline in your system that you're not going to feel a lot of pain. So but no, am I like, I've cut out with my right arm, and then I can't say it up with my left hand because I right handed.

But I'm sure if you said to them you're planning a big sea voyage, because I think that'd be one of the skills you need, wouldn't it if you're around the world.

You're so yeah, Yeah, I suppose you're right.

I never thought of that one.

One of my unusual things that I did try and buy it by the stage would never arrive, which I've always been. I'm mildly sad.

About how much were the self so chip.

Currently there was a teat fifteen twenty bucks eat.

And would you get more than one analog skin or was it just one thing? You could try and try it.

Because you've got one skin and the already had a few lesions in it, but you had to think about five needles and a roll of silk.

Oh.

I had a set of four SIPs because to make them not you wrap the.

Because you're more, you're more, You're more and more. See on the internet now reels or shows of surgeons practicing doing mccrame with four steps and stuff that I don't know if that's true. I don't know if they do they practice in to see their skills. I don't know how much they would do.

Practice when they're a student. Yeah, and they would have exactly these sort of kids. I watched the student try and saw me up once after a bit of an operation, and they were She was shaking, and I had to say to her, is it because I'm watching? She says, yeah, the patients don't usually watch this stuff. Yeah, I said, the abbit little bit different?

Did she did? She calm down, she got the job.

I think she was under supervision. I think the head shregg took over it. I think I'll do some of these.

I haven't thought about it, but it probably is quite thick to put your needle through.

I was amazed that I was talking to the surgeon about it and said, oh, Yeah, that bit of effort to get the needle it so Yeah, especially the different parts of body will have different fitnesses. I want to try to where's the bloodbister by foot? And I had to use the second needle. Yeah, and again just there's no pain of Also, just like that's a great needle in your foot.

I hope you get you get back on the settle and get your kits. I think you're getting great enjoyment from those.

Yeah, sort of thing that I like.

And then that could be your special skill, dB couldn't.

It's something I could do at a party.

You reckon?

Yeah, actually looks together. Nice to talk to me, Thank you so much. So there's a really good question via tex someone might like to answer it. Just interesting. Can you explain why at this time of the night you'll find another frequency coming through? Is it to do with a demand or climatic conditions? Totally ignorant question. I can answer that I've answered before. Mark, I just can't remember, Marcus, is there international number to call it? My friend James

There you go.

It's probably FM, not AM, is it. But you'll get an AM station from somewhere else. You probably pick up the Dunedin or the Invocago one. That's why I often at night you'd be out camping, you'd pick up all sorts of radio stations around the world, around the world. It'll be bouncing on off the ionosphere as it does. Come on, Hit'll twelve. My name is Marcus. Welcome. So whatever you've got people. I love the text about the weird eyes. They've got i emoticons in the text, little

Where is that?

Or the slide? You might want to talk about that? Oh yes, Oh it's fugly Colin. A giant steel t Rex will spend the rest of its life in a Lower Hut duck pond. The six ton sculptures built in as I May Hut Valley firms mcaulay Metals and Real Steel for Hut City Councils Highlight Festival twenty nineteen and it was auctionhit and off. Someone paid thirty three grand for it, but then if he brought it for his house,

Evening.

Pete Marcus, welcome here, good Pete.

Yeah, I see you're struggling there, but don't jump on and give a bit of helping hands.

And here we're going t moose.

I've had a good experience. I put on very much from them. But what do you think of my safety belt in my car?

Yeah? Sorry, what did you say?

They?

Pete?

You?

What uh on your on your safety belt? You have those little black buttons so the buckle doesn't go all the way in the bottom of your seat and you gotta you gotta fight to get it back up because you got to behind the door. And that's sort of thing so I thought, I give them a go.

Hang on, are those buttons to stop you? Where are the buttons?

Did a look on your on your seat belt? All cars have got them, when you know the buck where you put around your the plug into your the fush into your your seat belt, into the locks and maybe sit there. Heaven, it's a little I don't even know. They hadn't here until until That's until one came off when I thought I was pulling out to get out of the bottom of the door. There's a struggle. And don't you to be something about this?

What happens if the buttons not there? I don't understand this.

No, the the you know the back all the crown thing that puts over your shoulder into your clicking into your side of your seat.

Oh that fulls that falls down? Does it?

Yeah?

That little button comes up, then the buckle comes all the way down. It's a pain, you go that.

I wouldn't even know what to call to order it.

So they were going to they call them. They call them a secure I just called them secure buttons. But you go to rep coat they wont two dollars fifty for one just a little bit black button, you know, I thought, I'll try tenn and you can buy a peck for I think it was eight, and a peck for like they're special for three. That's three ninety nine plus delivery.

Wow.

So I thought, well, give it a go.

And then they had a special if you buy too or you know, well I buy two, I get basically sixteen of them. I putting it using my life, but I thought for that price only cost me seven dollars for eighteen of them. It's going to cost me two dollars fifty for one.

But there's a real irony here Pete too, because no one I've ever know has ever lost one of those buttons. It's probably something only happens once in a lifetime.

Right, Yeah, it's pretty rare, like rip and it would have.

Cost you two fifty to get one from Ripco. Instead you've spent seventeen dollars.

Yeah, I suppose it's no, no, no, no, I got no, I got. There were three three dollars ninety I think for a pack of eight of them. So I thought, oh, well, and they've got two off and I'll get two of them, two packs of them. It's probably not good logic, sense of it, wasn't paying any delivery on them, so only cost me what But they eight backs for sixteen of them. So I thought, while I'll get two loss of a month, I've got friends, and then they even lose them, I'll

And where will you put them so you know where they are next time you need them.

I got special places for my my car parks. Going back about those trees, carrying those trees and sorry before girl got killed, but it's not like you said, Marcus, you use your eyes.

It should be taught.

Is that what they're talking about. That's yeah, that's a tragic thing. But yeah, no, I see that's what I didn't realize. They were a fair of debt thought going through Maine cities. Yeah, that should have been that should have been fenced off.

Yeah, but you can't go around Captain all the trees man.

Yes, you don't walk and next to.

A school because people kids don't realize how fast trains are, if the if the railways are accessible.

Oh yeah, as far as if it's close to the school, maybe for safety, I'll go along with the line.

I don't really, I don't. Yeah, I don't really know the layout there. But that was that's something should have been done because it happened twelve years ago.

Yeah, I agree to any around school to make it safe, more safe than they don't say they can be seen. I agreed to that totally. But you can't go around Captain all flaming trees down and look ugly if you cuddle the trees down, for it's just the way that you can't stop everything ken into the day.

So why are they're cutting down the trees?

Oh?

Because they reckon. There were obviously in that particularly the part is with it, you know, appeeling your old got killed must be something to do with the dough worth, your hopeful or not being seen or something or whatever. You couldn't either train or whatever.

But you just ca oh, I thought they said they were fencing it off.

No, I think I know.

I think I cut in the trees there.

Okay, I've got to do some more research about that, Pete. But yeah, I appreciate you coming through about TIMS. Thank you for that. Kada'm it's Marcus. Greetings and welcome.

Hi Marcus. I just wanted to talk about Team Movely. Yes, yes, I've had a couple of good experiences, you know, just getting little stuff like phone cases and things like that. And yeah, I think I've bought a couple of things. I can't really remember exactly what they were my first, you know, a couple of items, and then I kind of started experimenting, like I don't know, that's buying an

So did you see the elect did you see the electric toothbrush back?

No, they didn't because it was my first time, you know, like saying, well, it was just awful. I mean, you know, I mean it was only ten dollars, but as opposed to a fifty one hundred dollars or be you know, electric ones. Yes, and this was just like it wasn't strong, you know, like it was just too weak, like you know, it wasn't powerful and that's annoying. Yeah, yeah, it just wasn't you know, it was but it was only ten dollars, but I was not going to use it.

And I was like, so what what but career, what what did you see back?

Well?

I haven't because okay, anything, so you don't know what's sending backs like because you haven't done it yet.

No, but I don't I don't know if they I mean, I know i've heard some people before on the talk back or mentioned it, but I don't know if they really bother because it's not really worth it for them to send a package and take it back. I suppose so they kind of I mean, they're just to take a photo of it and download it on the app and just give you a credit back. I don't know how many how many times they do that, but I think,

I think with most retail now, with it's the couriers are so expensive, no one ever wants you anything. They just don't want to say they want you to destroy it.

Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's just de beds watch you buy on there, and it's I would say it's a hidden myths, but some things are kind of you know. But it's also the wait time, like it's not too long, but it's still like you know, you can't just go down the road and get a phone case. You know, you're still got to wait for a week. You know if you can't get instantly. So because I don't do any other online shopping. You know, I'm not

Have you built clothes on it?

No, no, I don't. I don't think I would do that because you know, because as you know, it's sizes and everything. It's bad enough.

Going even into the shop, yes you're saying it. Yeah, No, I think the materials would be kind of yeah. I can't see myself buying clothes on there.

No, I think I think it's okay for certain things. You know what phone cases really interesting because instead of spending like fifty one hundred dollars on a phone case here, like you know, with wallets and chains and all sorts of things, you know, I mean, they do have some stuff like for ten or twenty dollars, you know what I mean, Like, but you just got to pick the right items, and then you might not be happy with some.

Yeah, I was listening to an article about someone in America, like who is the mother of a like a young girl, like a teenage or a teeny girl thirteen for I forget, forget the age, and just what the purchasing habits of the teen girls in America is, like buying skirts for like six dollars and just you know, every day this

That mean that just hung up? I presumely just hung up talking about Yes, he wouldn't buy clothes off? What's wrong with the closed off? By all my cloth?

I think he said, Lois. I think he said that it's hard to work out sometimes sizings because he might have a different he might be an awkward size.

Yeah, well I'm an awkward size. But no I buy. I buy all my those team or my underwear. Everything all comes off tim And there's nothing wrong.

With the material.

Okay, well.

Yep, and I'll tell you what it's. It's core of the price. Take anywhere else?

Does it take you a while to get your sizing right?

No, just I bought I bought something. I've bought something and it was too tight, so I went up the size and now I'm disordered.
