  Speaker 3: when I was driving in about half an hour ago.

  Speaker 3: I have so many questions.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Sammy. And good morning to the High Fivers.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: You're dead right about that rain.
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: I woke up.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: With some rain on the tray and I left my
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: gumboots on the tray again because I didn't see any rain.
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: And I thought, oh, no. But it appears the soles
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: are still dry.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: So that tells us there wasn't much rain.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: That's lucky.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: As well as your informative... A gauge report there. Mandy
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: and the Blue Brothers.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: You're right. She's texting early.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Good night, Ned and Sam. Have a great show. I'm
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: off to sleep.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: Oh, Mandy, I'm a little bit worried about you. You've
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: done an all-nighter.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: That doesn't appear to be a healthy.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: Sleeping pattern there. Mandy, you're like an owl. And what
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: are those Blue Brothers doing?
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: They'd be wanting to chase cattle around today, but they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: going to have to pop in bed with you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: We'll have to wait till tomorrow to get an answer
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: on that one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Now, Sammy.
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Who are some of the most famous people, either Australia
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: or worldwide, who have a piece of clothing that identifies them?
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: Something really unique.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: So not a brand, but something they wear.
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: You're dead right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: So like Matt Preston and his cravats. Beautiful.
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: That is the best example. Or Molly Meldrum and his hats.
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: Anyone?
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: Any others?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I'll have to think.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Sounds like you've got a few.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: That reason being, 822-300-00, anyone with, you know, a real
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: signature outfit, a real signature.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Item of clothing or a hat or whatever it is.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, Steve Irwin and Khaki is probably one, I reckon,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: just off the back of talking about the wonderful Irwin
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: family recently. I want something like that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it is yet. I would like something,
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: and I'm thinking it's probably going to be a hat.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It has to be a hat.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I think it's a hat.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I can see you rocking a cowboy hat.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I want to be.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: The person who constantly has that one thing, right, that
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: everyone kind of identifies them with.
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Is it a hat?
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Is it a pair of gloves? Is it one glove
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: on one hand? Is it a... That's good. Is it
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: a skivvy? Is it a turtleneck? Turtleneck.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Hard to rock a turtleneck on the farm in summer.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And it's got to be something that you can wear
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: all year round.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: But do you know what I mean?
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: How did these people get that one signature item of
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: clothing that everyone.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Identifies them with? Kylie's gold shorts? Kylie Minogue? I mean, yes,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: whoever that texter is.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: You could rock some short gold shorts.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, some small gold shorts. Wouldn't that be a sight
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: for sore eyes?
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: My goodness.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Thank goodness it's radio if I had those bad boys on.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: TV would be in some strife. Now, that texter, 436.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, seriously, put a name on your text.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: We don't know who you are texting in. I mean,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: how am I supposed to say good morning to a
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: phone number?
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Hello, phone number. The phone number goes.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Beep, beep, boop, boop. Well, there you go. Andrew's come through.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: Good morning. Greg Norman's Akubras. That's a good one. Again,
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: a bit predictable with the Akubra or the hat.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: When you think about the hat, I think it is
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a bit overdone.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: It is overdone. That's what I'm saying.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: I'm half thinking maybe a glove or a style of
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: shoe or just something that it's like that signature.
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: And you go.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: You know, did you see Ned McInerney in a double
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: A again? Yeah, yeah, he's wearing that. Jeez, he's wearing
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: that a lot.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: And then it just builds and builds and builds until
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: I have an item of clothing that I resonate with.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: 3AW Mornings host over in Melbourne, Tom Elliott.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Hawaiian shirt.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: Always has that shirt on.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Every single day.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Why does he have that on?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: I like Tom Elliott.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Hawaiian shirts.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: There you go, folks. What would you have or what
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: should I have?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what should Ned have?
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, who's a famous kind of person who has that
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: one piece of clothing that's really quite famous that you
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: identify them with?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Well, we're up and running this morning already. A couple
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: over there. 8223 0000 Pete in Parra Hills. Morning.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Good morning, boys. Can I bring two points up, please?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, anything.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: First, Aussie Cur, which is a famous... owner in, uh,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: especially Melbourne that's just bought Farlap silks for $ 70, 000.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Crikey.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: So, uh, I, I, I guess for memorabilia, that is, um,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: such a unique thing, especially Farlap being as such a
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: famous horse as what it is. And, um, rest in peace,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: senior Patty Payne. Uh, no one knows he passed away yesterday. And, uh,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: father of Michelle. They had 10 kids and, uh, it's
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: very devastating when someone, uh, as unique as what he was,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: then the whole pain family were. So, uh, all the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: best of their family.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I saw that it was something like seven of the
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: 10 children ended up becoming jockeys and a few of
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: them trainers.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: Too, Peter.
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, they've lost two kids. One was 52 and the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: other one was 36.
• 5:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Um, she had a heart attack, but, uh, you know,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: it's just a unique family because I think the mother
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: passed away early and, uh, when there's a big family
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: or the kids do, um, get controlled and look after themselves,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: the unique thing living out of Ballarat like they were.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: So it's a real bad thing. And the other unfortunate
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: part is, um, Michelle is, um, Pregnant. I don't know
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: how far down she is, but the fact that her
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: grandfather has passed away, not being able to see her
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: daughter's kid would be real bad for the family. But
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: as I said, rest in peace for the whole family.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Rest in peace. Well said, Peter.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Thanks for your call.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Craig and Ingle Farm, who's our songwriting extraordinaire. Good morning, Craig.
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: Good morning, boys.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: I'm just having my boiled eggs from Princess Leia.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: You love those boiled eggs, don't you?
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: The only way to start the day, mate, two boiled eggs,
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: slightly runny, beautiful.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: You think that's the only way to start the day?
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: The only way?
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: Well, not on the week.
• 6:48
  Speaker 11: Like I said, only Monday to Fridays. On the weekends,
• 6:51
  Speaker 11: I'll have bacon and eggs or an omelette or something.
• 6:53
  Speaker 12: I like that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: What happens if you don't start your day with a
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: boiled egg? Are you all off kilter?
• 6:58
  Speaker 11: Oh, I'll get an hour into the work day and
• 7:00
  Speaker 11: I'll be hungry, Sam. Yeah, I need the protein. This
• 7:04
  Speaker 11: gets me through to morning tea.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: It's a good routine you're in, Craig. I'll keep it rolling. Yeah, thanks, man.
• 7:09
  Speaker 11: Hey, with your item of clothing, Ned, you answered your
• 7:12
  Speaker 11: own question at the start of the show, mate.
• 7:14
  Speaker 12: Go to the gummies. The gumboots.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: The gumboots.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: If I had the gumboots every day, that'd be awesome.
• 7:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and then in summer, you just cut them down.
• 7:22
  Speaker 11: You do the low cuts, like make your own version,
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: like the summer version, your low cuts.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Low cuts.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: There you go, man.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: Craig, you're a legend. Thanks, mate. Great recommendation. That will
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: be explored. Good morning, Andrew, at Shadow Park.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: I can't stand long pleats with cluffs around the wrists,
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: so every jumper or shirt I get, I cut the...
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: I cut the cuffs off to make a three-quarter sleeve
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: and I looked the coolest.
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Andrew, that's pretty groovy and practical.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: That's a vibe and very unique.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm a groover.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: Because I reckon, and I must say, I think I
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: got it from Ricky Ponting many years ago. I reckon
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: he cut his long sleeve shirt back to three quarters.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he's one of the best fielders of all time, Andrew,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: so if it works for him.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, imagine you catching cutlery in the kitchen or
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: doing what you need to do around the house.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: So when you see me around with three quarters, that's
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: my gig, all right?
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Well, that's cool. There's a few good texts. It's like
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Elton John and his glasses are a good match, you know.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Don Dunstan in his safari suit and pig shorts, of course.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: You're in with those folk, Andrew. You've got your own
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: signature item.
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: That's my gig, all right?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I think we're listening to ourselves on the radio now.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's pretty cool. God, I sound terrible, don't I?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Move on. Johnny from Port Augusta.
• 8:44
  Speaker 12: Hello.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: Hi, fellas.
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: What about Shane Keith-Warnes, Baggy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Not Baggy, Bobby White.
• 8:53
  Speaker 13: Bobby White. They get to recognise MCD each year with...
• 8:58
  Speaker 13: The heart and all the rest of it, yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: And the zinc over the nose, I reckon, is pretty
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: Shane Warne-like.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the zinc over the nose looks like a bloody surfy.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: But he should, in my opinion, he's nearly.
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: The best cricketer I've ever seen. He's in that conversation
• 9:14
  Speaker 13: and should have captained in Australia, in my opinion.
• 9:17
  Speaker 14: But a great cricketer.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Love it. Well done, Johnny. Thank you, John.
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: Tom.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: This is a good one from Tom. Steve Waugh's red hanky, iconic.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Kane Korn's lack of a shirt when he does his
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: walk and talks online. What about Lyndon in Aberfoyle Park? Morning, gents.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: John Clark's character, Fred Dagg's gumboots and bucket hat.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Thank you for that. He's a high fiver, Lyndon.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: We love him.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Lyndon.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Get around Lyndon. Another one for Michael Jackson and his
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: one glove. Rob in Clearview. I can see you this. Ned,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I can see you rocking a monocle. Like the Monopoly man.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Yes, Rob. Thank you. Just something like that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: You want a signature piece.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: I want a signature piece. I think Craig's suggestion of
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: gumboots isn't a bad one.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Again. I don't know when summer, though.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, that's the, you know, it's not all breezy
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: having the cool.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fair. It's a bit of a commitment.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Boy George and his hat. Graham Corns and his leather pants.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: That's an excellent one.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: That's good. Chris says, hi, Ned. You would rock a handkerchief.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: No, a neckerchief.
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: Oh, a neckerchief.
• 10:18
  Speaker 15: Sorry.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Chris there at Cuddle Creek, you can wear it in
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: summer and winter. A neckerchief would, that's a great one.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: That's practical for the farm. And you get stylish ones
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: for a bit more of an upmarket sort of dinner.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Folks who like to, well, not like to, but they
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: do muster around station country, they all have them to
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: stop the dust getting in.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: So a good suggestion, Chris. I just want to be
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: a farmer, I've realised.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: You've only just realised this? I've known this for a while.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: You just don't understand how farming makes me feel.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I need to come up there one day and see
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: you in action.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Well, would you like to do that?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd come up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Mate, what do you do that just makes you feel
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: so in the moment, so mindful, so happy?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: In the moment, it's this. When you're on air and
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: you've got no time to think about anything else, it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: what you're doing right now is when the mind shuts
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: up the most.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: I love doing this too. Farming and this are both
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: very similar in terms of the experience.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Frank in Birkenhead, save us from my emotional spiel.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: Hey, what about the famous, no one said anything, correct
• 11:20
  Speaker 14: me if I'm wrong, about the famous, what about the
• 11:23
  Speaker 14: famous Don Bradman's hat that he even, I think it
• 11:27
  Speaker 14: was even autographed, someone bought. I'm not sure whether it's
• 11:31
  Speaker 14: in the museum in Adelaide.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: That's a bag, what, the baggy green?
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: No.
• 11:36
  Speaker 14: The baggy hat, his hat.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Actually, his playing hat or just another hat he was
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: known for wearing?
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: I don't know. His playing hat and the cricket bat.
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: And the cricket bat.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the green cap.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: It sold for $ 460, 000 in India. In January this year,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Don Bradman's, one of his baggy greens, because back then
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: there was a few of them. They didn't treat them
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: like they do now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Well, an Angus bull recently sold near the South Australian,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: New South Wales border for $ 420, 000. That hat's worth more.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: That was about four weeks ago.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: That set a record for the most expensive beef animal
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: in history for an Angus bull, but you can buy
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Don Bradman's hat for a little bit more. That's not
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: going to give you many Angus calves.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Is it? Peter, good morning.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: I just woke up. I've got a sore throat, so
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: I may be in because I've got to be at
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: full fitness tomorrow for the luncheon at the Cremorne. I
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: worked on a dairy farm owned by my father and
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: Sturt champion, John Murphy.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, down at Mount Jagged, wasn't it?
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: I'm not cut out to be a farmer.
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: Wasn't it Mount Jagged?
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, near Mount Compass, Lean Road, Mount Compass, yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: But I'm not cut out to be a farmer.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: See, I remember.
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: You had to get up at 4 a.m., which I
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: do regularly, but the day didn't end just with the
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: milking of the cows. You had to throw the loosened
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: hay out to feed them. You had to get all
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: the mud off. You'd have a shower mid-morning, and then
• 13:05
  Speaker 10: you went back for a little nap, and then you
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: came back to milk them at night, and then you
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: went back, and John's wife, I won't mention names for
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: five or six reasons, she was helping Trish Hicks out. Now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: Trish Hicks is Daryl Hicks. and was the hairdresser. So, basically,
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: I was there from Monday morning. It was in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: heat of summer in January 1985. I was as famous
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: then as you are now, Ned, and it almost killed me.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Well, that's all right. We're built for different things.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: You're built to call talkback radio stations and be a
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: sample extraordinaire and also host a lot of people for
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: functions and stuff, whereas I'm not good at that, and
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I'm good at, I don't know, enjoying farming.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: Can you get Peter back for one second, please?
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Peter! I'm here.
• 13:51
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: You didn't go anywhere. I don't know what you're talking about.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: My girlfriend was talking about you last night at length.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: Oh, dear. Who was?
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: My girlfriend.
• 13:59
  Speaker 12: Oh, did she?
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Because she heard you talking to Matthew Pantelis, I think,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: at about 7 o'clock last night.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: What's she doing listening to night radio?
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: She's a double-A listener.
• 14:08
  Speaker 12: Love it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 10: She's going to have a drink with us.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: You'll see how we go. I'm trying to stay off
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: the alcohol, Peter, so I can bloody switch on.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Bullshit.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Julie, good morning.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: That was total bullshit, actually. Jules, morning.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Good morning, boys.
• 14:28
  Speaker 15: Peter Fitzsimons wears that red bandana.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's a good one.
• 14:34
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I could say a few other things, but I won't.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Don't move on.
• 14:39
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I can't really think of anybody else. It's a
• 14:43
  Speaker 15: bit early in the morning to think of what people wear.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I just thought of him.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: He's always.
• 14:49
  Speaker 15: got that stupid red bandana on his head.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Well done. We'll add that one to the list. Thank you, Julie.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: Julie, nice work.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Here's a couple I've done for a quick Google. Steve
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Jobs always wore a black turtleneck. We've talked about Elton John.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Freddie Mercury in his white singlets. Colonel Sanders and his
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: white suits.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good one. The Elton John, someone on the text
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: line said Elton John with the glasses. That was a goodie,
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: wasn't it?
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Those couple that you had were rippers too.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, good thinking. The glove, Michael Jackson.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: What about Jeff on the text line?
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Wowzers, Jeff.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Whatever that photo is of those things, I don't own
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: them and I don't want them. Never send anything like
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: that ever again in on the text line.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: A pair of leather arseless chaps. You could wear that
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: riding a horse on the farm.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Don't read that one from David. David, that's a funny text,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: but I just don't want to get cancelled, mate, so.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: We'll go to a break instead.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: 20 after 5.
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: 8223 0000.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Back in a moment.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: 24 after 5. High-fivers, we're asking the question, what's the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: signature piece that Ned should add to his wardrobe?
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, also signature pieces that people... No, we want
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: something for Ned.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Well, it's not all about me, team.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Peter in Woodville West, good morning.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Morning, boys.
• 16:11
  Speaker 13: Johnny Cash, the man in black and his black vest,
• 16:14
  Speaker 13: And we also have a famous saying, if I can
• 16:16
  Speaker 13: hear the trainer coming.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Excellent one, Peter.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Johnny Cash is a very, very good one.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Love Johnny Cash. Ring of fire.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Love Johnny Cash.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Robin Andrews, fine. Hello, Rob. Good morning.
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah, g'day, boys.
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: How's it going?
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: A couple of tennis players come to mind from back
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: in the day.
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: Perk Cash and John McEnroe for their headband.
• 16:35
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: What about Leighton with his backward hats?
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, that too, eh?
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: Ripper.
• 16:40
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: Have a good day, boys.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: These are good ones, Rob. In and out, too. That's efficient.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Well done, Rob.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Brekkie Radio. Brad from One Free Hill.
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, good morning, boys.
• 16:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, two ones here.
• 16:51
  Speaker 12: It's a couple.
• 16:52
  Speaker 13: Cathy Freeman, when she won 400 metres gold in that
• 16:56
  Speaker 13: iconic long suit with the hood. That'll stay with me forever.
• 17:01
  Speaker 13: And also, the Les Patterson in his 1970s suit with
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: the high.
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: With the big platform shoes and the big wide tie
• 17:09
  Speaker 13: with all the whiskey spilt down it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: Again, rippers. Our calls have got some great ones. I
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: didn't even think of Cathy Freeman in that bodysuit, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: that is signature and very much a piece of Australian history, Brad,
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: that she'll be associated with. Great call.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Robin Clearview, become the 2026 Ann Wills and just get
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: some really big earrings all the time, Matty.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Some bigger hoops or some earrings or something I could
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: roll with?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: A lot of love for Molly Meldron's hat. I think
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: people are associating you with a nice big hat on
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the farm.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: I know, but it's predictable. I mean, Barnaby Joyce has one.
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: Sound!
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: What about a nice haircut or a random haircut? Yeah, well,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not a signature piece.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: I want it to be a little different.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: I want it to be that if I see the
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: high-fivers out and about, if they had something I could say, oh, there's,
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: you know, Gary from Salisbury because he's got X. You know,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: there's Ned because he's got a pair of unique hot
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: pink gloves.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: Gary from Salisbury, speak of the devil.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: What about Diamanda?
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Diamanda, yes.
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: Everyone recognises Dame Edna, like Elton John.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: But Dame Edna, I mean, it wasn't even just one
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: signature thing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: It was like a.
• 18:14
  Speaker 12: Whole outfit and look. It was everything. Everything she ever
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: wore was, or be she, whatever, wore, was recognised around
• 18:22
  Speaker 12: the world.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: What do you reckon Ned's signature piece should be, though, Gary?
• 18:26
  Speaker 12: I reckon Ned should get some sort of.
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: Sort of... shirt with Rex written on the back. Then
• 18:34
  Speaker 12: we'll know who it is.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I love that name.
• 18:37
  Speaker 12: We'll walk down the street in Adelaide. There we know.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: You know how sad it is that I haven't even
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: confirmed that I'm rolling around with the name Ned or
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Edward formally?
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not an Edward.
• 18:46
  Speaker 13: I'm a Rex.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: No, you're a Neddy.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Where's Rex from Highbury? You're the one who started this, Rex.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: You're the one who got me in trouble. Bloody call in.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: David in Kidman Park.
• 18:55
  Speaker 17: Morning.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Morning.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: How are you, boys?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Hello, David.
• 18:59
  Speaker 17: What about Richie Beno with his suit? Yeah.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: The cream, the white, the off cream, the ivory, the bone?
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Very, very good one. What are you doing, David? Why
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: are you up so early?
• 19:13
  Speaker 17: On my way to work, yeah, just a normal day.
• 19:15
  Speaker 17: Get up and have a spore, leave the house just
• 19:19
  Speaker 17: after 5 o'clock and work just around about 6.30.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: What's work for you, David?
• 19:25
  Speaker 17: Electrical wholesaling.
• 19:27
  Speaker 12: Oh, nice.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Works.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: All you sparkies and electrical people, are you guys all
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: earning as much money as everyone says you are?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: We're not actually a sparky.
• 19:37
  Speaker 17: We sell to the sparky.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Ah, okay.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Well, make sure you fix them up then, David. They've
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: got plenty of money by all sports.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Well done, David.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: Love your work, David. Thanks for calling in, mate. Appreciate it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Busy morning.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, lots to talk about, Sammy. Andrew, just some housekeeping.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: We love housekeeping.
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: Can I just wrap up a few loose ends?
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I think we need a sting for housekeeping.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love housekeeping.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Yep. Wrap up those loose ends.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Andrew texted in yesterday morning at 5 a.m. For those
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: that missed it, jump on the podcast. You can always
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: catch up with the show if you want to.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Wherever you get your good podcasts from.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Andrew was the podcast, sorry, the produce fella, wasn't he?
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: He's doing the SA Produce Market.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Well, new reports in the advertiser this morning, CanStar data
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: reveals that one-fifth, or 22%, have reduced how much fresh
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: produce they would eat to combat.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Cost of living.
• 20:30
  Speaker 16: The cost of living is biting into household fruit and
• 20:33
  Speaker 16: veg consumption. New Canstar survey data revealing one-fifth of supermarket
• 20:37
  Speaker 16: shoppers have reduced the amount of fresh produce they eat
• 20:40
  Speaker 16: to combat rising grocery costs. The average weekly spend on
• 20:44
  Speaker 16: fresh fruit and veg is down 26% compared to last year,
• 20:49
  Speaker 16: from $ 43 to $ 32. More than 2,500 shoppers were surveyed
• 20:54
  Speaker 16: by Canstar, and the findings reveal some are resorting to cheeky,
• 20:58
  Speaker 16: even dishonest practices to try and reduce their grocery bill.
• 21:02
  Speaker 16: More than one in 10 shoppers surveyed admitted to doing
• 21:05
  Speaker 16: things like breaking off the broccoli stalk to reduce the
• 21:08
  Speaker 16: weight of purchases. 6% admit being downright dishonest, scanning a
• 21:13
  Speaker 16: cheaper product than the one they actually bought.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Audio there, thanks, and on news.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: So I want Andrew to fill us in. I mean,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: it sounds like there's a crime scene down there at
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: the produce market.
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Pulling off the broccoli, I mean, I'm not going to
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: comment on things like that because last time I mentioned
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: I had a couple of grapes at the supermarket.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Lock him up!
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: But what are you doing to combat cost of living?
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: I hope it's not at the expense of our fruit
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: growers and all of our produce people like Andrew yesterday.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Another piece of housekeeping, Sammy, a very exciting partnership with Bickford's.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: I have an update on this.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Do we want to know the update?
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: I have an update. So, team.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Everyone knows that we love Bickford's on this program. All
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: of the listeners love Bickford's.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I had a lemon-lime and bitters last night. Did you?
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: Yes, I did.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Two, actually.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: You're joking.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: No, dead set.
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Well done. So you're into it.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: I love Bickford's. So last night I had a Bickford's too.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: I've been doing concoctions. So I don't even just use
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: the one Bickford's flavour.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: You're a mixologist.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I mix the different flavours.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: So I did lemon, lime, and then just a dash
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: of the tropical sugar-free last night with about three shots
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: of vodka in a glass.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: And.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Drink responsibly.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Drink responsibly. I wish I was joking. Anyway, had that
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: with some soda water. Oh, yum, yum, yum. Yummy, scrummy. Anyway,
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: the Bickford's development in terms of the partnership.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Where are we at? Talking to someone in their marketing team.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: When this launches, because you've promised a lot, Ned. The
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: high fivers, the Bickford's battalion.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: So I had a contact in there. I had a mole.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: I had someone I kind of worked closely with.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Don't reveal your source.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: It was a mole. An email came across my desk yesterday.
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: Uh-oh.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: The Big Fitz Battalion is no more.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: He has left the business. So the person we were
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: in correspondence with, the person who was fighting the good fight,
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: who was bringing 5AA early breakfast to the Bickford's team's attention,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: has now moved on, and he's working at a competitor,
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: I believe.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: I know. Disaster.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Did he move on because they found out he was
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: your source?
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: I think he was the mole. He was the Bickford's mole.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: He was.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: So what you're saying there, Ned, is don't hold your
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: breath about the Bickford's battalion.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: No, that's not what I'm saying.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: You know, when you grow up, you learn that you
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: need to overcome adversity, keep fighting, keep fighting. Something will
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: happen with Bickford's team. I'm just keeping our listeners up
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: to date. Another company we love, JMS Rural Fencing. This
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: is the mother of the lady who works at the desk,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: I believe.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: Julie from Tea Tree Gully, good morning.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 23:46
  Speaker 15: I think, Ned, you'd look great in red. I reckon
• 23:50
  Speaker 15: a red RM windshielder.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, red.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: So just the one signature colour, Julie.
• 23:57
  Speaker 15: Red in red.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's good.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: Interesting.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I've never seen you in red. You're always in blue.
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: Baseball cap.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: He's always in blue. I don't think I've seen him
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: in red before.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Red in red would be great.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you couldn't miss it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 15: You were down at the boundary line Saturday night.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Was I?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Oh, goodness.
• 24:16
  Speaker 12: No, Julie.
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: No.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I was watching the game with a notepad, getting some
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: notes together and a glass of red wine on the couch.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's nice.
• 24:25
  Speaker 15: Oh, well, it must have been... It was a big night, though.
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: We had a great game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, how good was the crowd?
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: And I was a bit nervy, nervy in that fourth quarter,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: but we just put the pedal to the metal, Jules.
• 24:36
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's why I haven't rung, because I'm still trying
• 24:38
  Speaker 15: to get over it. Becky and I had such a
• 24:39
  Speaker 15: great time that we.
• 24:41
  Speaker 12: It.
• 24:41
  Speaker 15: Was just all too much, but now I'm getting a
• 24:44
  Speaker 15: bit old now, so... Anyhoo.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: So where are we at with this fence, Ned?
• 24:48
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Well, I haven't asked, actually,
• 24:51
  Speaker 15: to be totally honest.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: Julie, I got a quote from a wonderful fellow there.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: I can't remember his name. I think it was Chad.
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: Chaddy.
• 24:59
  Speaker 14: Chad.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: We love Chad.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: $ 6, 300 for two days with staff and machinery to knock
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: in 110 drill stem posts, which is cattle yards for
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: about 500 head.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Pretty good, I thought. And Jules, I don't want to
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: say too much or show my hand, but I will
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: be pursuing shortly.
• 25:17
  Speaker 13: Oh, Nettie.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: So you should hit them.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Up and make sure you get a commission for that. Yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: get your commission.
• 25:23
  Speaker 15: Oh, well, yeah, I'm going to have a bit of
• 25:27
  Speaker 15: a word to Brittany and she can, you know, throw
• 25:30
  Speaker 15: something my way.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: Well, why don't you come out and knock a few
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: posts in, Julie?
• 25:37
  Speaker 12: Well, I could.
• 25:37
  Speaker 15: I might go up and see you.
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah, come on.
• 25:40
  Speaker 15: I don't even know where you've done it. I don't
• 25:43
  Speaker 15: really talk much about it, apart that I'll speak to you,
• 25:45
  Speaker 15: and Brittany sometimes will speak to, she spoke to the
• 25:50
  Speaker 15: morning show. She's usually on the morning show when she's
• 25:53
  Speaker 15: on her way to work.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, beautiful.
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: She went to the show and had a wonderful time,
• 25:57
  Speaker 15: and go the crows, and hey, Sam, this MotoGP is going.
• 26:01
  Speaker 10: To be good, isn't it?
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Cannot wait.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: And a new track.
• 26:05
  Speaker 14: Hey?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Cannot wait. I've got reservations about the supercars using that track,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: but I've heard Mark Scaife and we had Craig Lowndes
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: on yesterday, and everyone's saying embrace the future, embrace change.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: It's the next evolution, so I'm all on board.
• 26:18
  Speaker 15: Yep, so am I. They're going to plant more trees,
• 26:21
  Speaker 15: and the jobs that it's going to create for hospo
• 26:25
  Speaker 15: and just people coming to see it, it's just going
• 26:28
  Speaker 15: to be so good.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: It's going to be very exciting.
• 26:31
  Speaker 15: I'm happy. Well, Nettie, You're a good man. I'm glad
• 26:34
  Speaker 15: you've chosen JMS. I'll get you a baseball cap.
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: How's that?
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, that'd be cool.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 26:40
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it'll have red in it. So you wear your
• 26:43
  Speaker 15: red RM top and your baseball cap.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Red Ned.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Julie, one of the best suggestions we've had and a
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: great call. Go you Crows.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: We'll speak to Tommy Wren shortly. Can the Crows win
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: it up there at Brisbane?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: I don't want to sound like the cynical Port Adelaide supporter.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: You're all cynical, you Port mob.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: No.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I'm nervous too.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I'm nervous.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Raining premiers.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Hopeful but nervous.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: The gavitoir.
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: They had a bad loss a week ago.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Hopeful but nervous I am.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Go the Crows. Just the experience in finals.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: You cut onions? Do you cut onions, Sam?
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I do from time to time.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: Brown or red or both?
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Mainly brown.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: What do you do to stop the crying?
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I just push through.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: No, you don't.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Just endure it. You get those onions.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: You're joking, do you really?
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just cut the onions up and get on
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: Well, someone told me the other day, because I wear goggles,
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: so you can.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: The big, tough farmer who works 12-hour days on the land.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: 12-hour days?
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: 15-hour days on the land. He gets up early and
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: do early breakfast. He goes out to Palmer. He works
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: on the feedlot. He's moving things around. He comes home.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: He puts his goggles on to chop his onions.
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: Oh, God.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: I was going to say 12-hour days. God, don't cut
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: me short. That's up until lunchtime, and then we get
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: going in the afternoon.
• 28:00
  Speaker 16: Sam.
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: Mm-hmm.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: I wear goggles. Someone told me you can cut the
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: onion a different way and it doesn't.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Release the toxins. There's something about the end of the onion,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the bulb or something. That's where it comes from.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: 8223 0000, if you can be bothered picking up your
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: phone and giving us a buzz, how do you stop
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: or combat those juices of an onion stuffing around with
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: your eyes?
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Has anyone got any hacks? Has anyone worked that out?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: What do they do? Onion chopping.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: It makes you cry, Sammy.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: It does. It just helps you get in touch with
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: your emotions. Yeah. 8223 0000. And we've also been talking
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: about fruit and veg and the prices.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: And the ways people have been combating the ever-rising cost
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: of living. Mm-hmm. Andrew on the text line, talking about
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: cutting costs, I've been buying small bottles of lemon juice
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: and also a lime juice and adding a squirt of
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: them to my glass of water. So it's a bit
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: of a hack for some, a bit of a cordial hack,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I reckon.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Hey, Andrew, that's smart. It's good for a vodka lime soda.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: I know I've gone down the alcohol route a lot
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: this morning, which is probably showing my cards a little,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: but yes, love the lime juice.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Kathy's also wearing goggles to chop the onions, so you're
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: not alone.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: You goggle-wearing, bird-loving legend, Kathy.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Stephen Kilkenny, good morning.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: Good morning, boys.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: Good, Steve.
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: Excellent. Put your onions in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Does that work, does it?
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Really, Steve?
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: Put them in the freezer for 10 minutes and then
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: chop them.
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: You won't cry.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness. This is huge.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Revolutionary.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Does anyone know that? Text in if you knew that
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: one and you used it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: I've not heard that one. Vinnie in Grange, good morning.
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: Just a quick one.
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: Did Raleigh get off those two weeks or not?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: Overturned.
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: Oh, beautiful.
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: You know what I was going to say, Howie?
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: I would have got him off. I would have used
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Collingwood lawyers. They would have done the trick.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: Well, they seem to get off everything. No, he's off.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: Free to play, I believe, Vinnie.
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: Great result.
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: Fantastic, fantastic.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: That's all I wanted to know. Love it, Vinnie.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: See you, mate. Thanks for your call.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I wasn't up to date with that news, and I'll
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: be there again on Sunday. Watching Jimmy Rowe in that
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: second half, just... Going a bit mad, but he got
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: his team back into it. It made it for enjoyable watching.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: He's an energizer bunny, isn't he?
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: He is. He's such good fun to watch.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Super watchable player. Nah, good call. He's a gun.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: 12 minutes to six. Keep those calls coming in. Just
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: on the text line, Kathy saying that Ned should be
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: wearing a beret.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: I love this.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: So if anyone was listening at the start of the show,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Mandy alerted.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: Us that she was off to sleep. Mandy's back.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: However, she woke up 40 minutes later.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: She goes, hello again, again. So she's back.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: She's talking about a bunch of different informative items there.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Mandy, Mandy, don't join in on the conversation. We want
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: to know why did you go to bed at 4.40
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: and why did you wake up at 5.20?
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: Mandy.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: We need to know that before six.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Mandy, you need a longer kip, legend. You're going to
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: bloody fall over. 40 minutes sleep isn't enough for a
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: possum or an owl, let alone a human.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Or those blue brothers. Yeah, the blue brothers. They'll be
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: all confused.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Oh, no, Mandy. You need some rest, legend. But, hey, Mandy,
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: if you're feeling good and you're fine and you're crack-a-lacking,
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: then I'm really happy for you, too.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Let's squeeze Phil in from Blairview Heights before we get
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: to the break. Phil, good morning. Bellevue hearts, I should say.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: I used to peel 20 onions every morning at a
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: bakery and.
• 31:19
  Speaker 12: I'd chew a crust of bread. I never had tears. Really?
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Chewing the crust of bread while chopping up onions can
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: stop you from crying?
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: That's an interesting one.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: As a 13-year-old in the bakery.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: Jeez, Phil.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Have you ever heard the freezing one? I suppose if
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: you did that, you didn't need to freeze them.
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: No, I didn't freeze it.
• 31:40
  Speaker 14: No, I didn't.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: They weren't frozen, you know. They're... The baker needs them,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: so I just usually chew a crust of bread.
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: Love your work.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: You've got two hacks to try.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Phil raised a really good point, too.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: It was something that you brought up, and you were
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: talking to me earlier this morning around how people made
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: money as a kid. So Phil was in a bakery
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: cutting onions. Like what you said to me this morning,
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: I wonder what our listeners did as children to make
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: some money.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: How did the pocket money come in as a kid?
• 32:07
  Speaker 16: Hmm.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: 8223 0000. For me, it was a classic mowing the
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: lawns or washing the cars. And Nana would always come
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: over normally on a Sunday afternoon for dinner. I'd wash
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: her car. She'd always say, whatever money you find in there,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: you get to keep.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Clever.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: The amount of times I'd find a lobster just under
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: the seat randomly. A lobster?
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: 20? Nana used to look after me.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: That's too generous.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: And then with mum's car, I'd just find some gold coins. Yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: So 822-300-00, what were the chores or what were the
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: little jobs that you did as a kid or a
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: teenager to earn some money?
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: Who did the most unique, weird, niche little task to
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: earn a buck as a kid? And would a child
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: these days do it?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Ready next.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 32:51
  Speaker 18: 15 to 6 on this Wednesday, going for a top
• 33:02
  Speaker 18: of 16 degrees and cloudy.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Thursday, 19 degrees and sunny. Friday, 21 degrees and sunny. Saturday, 23. Sunday, 24,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: but with a possible shower, currently 10.8 here in the city.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: No rain to report. Before the break, we asked how
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: you're making money as a kid. Rob from Clearview, I
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: was a milkman's runner, delivering milk to the door, $ 2. 50
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: a day plus free chocolate milk.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Rob, I saw your earlier text. I do want to
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: come and have a look at those trucks, mate. That's exciting.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Mandy in the Blue Brothers, she's told us exactly why
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: she had to go to bed at 4.40. Well, what's that?
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: 5.20 over in Victoria. I had to work an emergency
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: last night and I feel like I lose the day
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: if I get up past the dawn breaking. Then my
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: brain doesn't shut off. So here I am.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Mandy, that makes sense because we're kind of putting the
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: pieces together as to what you do because you're a
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: Victorian listener.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: You have two cattle dogs. You never sleep, so we're
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: kind of just slowly working you out, so that's great
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: to know.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Mandy, have we ever worked out how you got on
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: to listening to us at 5 o'clock in the morning?
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, not sure.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Are you an expat from SA? I can't remember.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Don't know, but I'll just quickly say good morning to
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: the Blue Brothers as well.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Go on. Quickly before Rennie, Rob from Marion's on the line.
• 34:16
  Speaker 13: Morning, Rob.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: Morning. I've got a bit of a shameful one for
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: you guys, how I made money when I was a
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: young kid.
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: Oh, no.
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: Me and a couple of mates, we went up to
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: a cemetery and we cut a whole bunch of roses.
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: And we knocked on people's doors and said... No. Oh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: my mum works at the Red Cross. We're just selling
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: some roses and raising some money. And I think at
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: the end of it, we probably went and brought something
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: we shouldn't have. I think it was some wacky tobacco.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: So that was quite shameful when I was about 13.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: I think I remember that.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: We all make mistakes as kids.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Shameful, but also entrepreneurial, Rob.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: And I don't mind it.
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was pretty bad, but it was what it was.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: I grew up in the 90s.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Nah, Rob, that's a great story.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Did you go to one of those illegal tobacconists, Rob,
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: and get firebombed or not?
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Or was it a bit easy to get those days?
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Nah, it was a lot easier back then, lad. A
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: lot easier.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: You don't have to creep around convenience stores in Hindley
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Street now, Rob.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Well done, Rob.
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: The latest in sports with Tom Wren.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Tommy Wren, good morning.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: Good morning, boys.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I hope you're having a great start to your day,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: loving your show. Hey, back page of the paper today, disappointment.
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: I mean, we've got this big game, obviously, between Brisbane
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: and the Crows, and Zach Bailey, who, you know, for
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: the better part of the year, most... experts, if you like,
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: have said that he's coming to the Crows. Well, he's
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: turned his back on Adelaide and he's decided to sign
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: an eight-year extension with Brisbane.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Big backflip.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: It's a huge backflip.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Luke Hodge had some very strong words on agenda setters
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: We'll tee that up.
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: So, obviously, we had the story last week with regards
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: to everything potentially happening with Matthew Nix.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Tom Morris was quite strong. And, you know, there were
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: reports of leaks, et cetera. Luke Hodge.
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: seems to think that one of the reasons why Zach
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: didn't come to Adelaide was because of that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Whoever leaked that from the Adelaide Football Club, I reckon
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: it's a big reason why Zach Bailey did not go
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to the Adelaide Football Club.
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Really.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: You look at what... how Zach has been around Brisbane.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: So he's had stability around him since he's been there.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Two of his first three years that he played finals,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: they were out in straight sets. Did you hear anything
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: about Chris Fagan getting fined?
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: No.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Or getting sacked?
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: No. They put more support around him. They lost the
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: grand final. Did you hear anything about Chris Fagan?
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: They had more support around him.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: All of a sudden.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Adelaide Football Club went from 15th to two final series
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: in a row. And then if they lost on the weekend,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: that Matthew Nix was going to be sacked. For a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: bloke who's an introvert, who doesn't want that much attention,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Zach going across to Adelaide.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Being a $ 1.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: 5 million player, the highest paid player on the Adelaide
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Crows list, in a two-team town that are obsessive and
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: passionate about football, I think that deterred his decision. And
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: that's why, how many times have you seen a player
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: leave it this late and then backflip and go back
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: to their club? Not often.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: So that was on Channel 7's Agenda Setters last night
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: with Luke Hodge.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Big call.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there'd be some merit in that.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: The attention that would be placed on him in South
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Australia would have been a portion of his, you know.
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: A part of his decision-making process. If he doesn't like
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: the limelight. And, look, he would be coming with big money,
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: you know, big spotlight.
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: All of that, you know. Whereas in Brisbane... They care
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: more about the Broncos and North Queensland Cowboys.
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: Well, he's re-signed for less money.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: So in terms of.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: But he's got more, yeah, eight years.
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: It's endearing, isn't it, to a fan base?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, big time.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's... So, look, it's disappointing. I guess the
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: other question is now, what do Adelaide do in terms of.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: They need a midfielder.
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: If it was me, and I don't know where his
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: head is at or what he's going to do, but
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: I would be going to Zach Merritt and saying.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: How much? I'd be going 1.4, three-year deal. Really?
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: I'd be going hell for leather for Zach Merritt. If
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: they genuinely feel like they're in their premiership window, and
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: I think they feel like they are, I think Dan
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: Curtin will be better again next year, but I still
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: think they need another gun midfielder. I know he's 30,
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: 31 maybe, Merritt, but I think he's got three years left.
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: I'd be going to Zach and I'd be saying to Essendon,
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: we want him. What do you want? Let's get it done.
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: Let's go hard.
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting, Rennie.
• 38:31
  Speaker 14: 8223 0000.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: If there's any Crows supporters... But you might.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Totally, I don't.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Think you disagree. Yeah, and that's what this discussion will
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: be like.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: So, call up.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: What do you think?
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Is it now time for the Crows to go really
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: hard on an established player who can help in the now?
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: Or is it just slowly, slowly, don't give up too
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: much draft capital? And maybe it's that. Is it a
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: Wanganee Malira? Is it a Will Day in time?
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: You know, that age profile, the mid-20s, you're still going
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: to have them for five, six, seven, eight years, not
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: two or three.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: You're right, though, Renny.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, if they go up and beat Brisbane, they
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: are not just in the premiership window.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: They are climbing through that thing. It's like Taylor Swift
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: in the love story when the boyfriend climbs up and
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: gets through the window.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: They are in the premiership window ready. So anyone that
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: can help, you've got to win them. They're not easy
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: to win.
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: They're not easy to win, and you need some luck,
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: but you need the list profile. You need to give
• 39:19
  Speaker 9: yourself the best opportunity. And a lot of people are
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: bashing Adelaide, saying, you know, they missed out again. Look,
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: they got Dawson.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: They got Rankin, you know.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's that. Yeah, I think they've been
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: pretty good. good with that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: And good on Zach and the manager. And like you said,
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: went less money, but he got the deal he wanted.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: Fair play.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: That's the game.
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: You have to offer overs to try and get someone.
• 39:39
  Speaker 9: It's like if people out there, if you've got a job,
• 39:42
  Speaker 9: if you're going to leave it, you're going to have
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: to be offered, and you don't always leave, but you
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: have to be offered 20%, 30% more than what you're
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: currently getting to do it. So he got that. He
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: considered it long and hard, and then he went, you
• 39:54
  Speaker 9: know what?
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not going.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: It's like a certain someone who went from Channel 7
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: to Channel 9.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to review this, Rennie.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: This was as a part of kind of the Hawthorne
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: racism saga.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: That's in the front page today with Sean Burgoyne. You'll
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: update us about all that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: But there was just one little thing, Rennie, that I
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: want to talk to you and our listeners about. This
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: provides incredible insight as to what the life of a
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: head coach is like. So Xavier Ellis provided a recount
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: on his time with Alistair Clarkson, what style of coach
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: he is. Excuse me for reading it poorly, but let
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: me just read this out for 20 seconds. In 2012,
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: I recall receiving a late-night call from Mr Clarkson. He'd
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: observed that I'd lost my spark as I was dealing
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: with several injuries. He suggested we meet at a St
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Kilda pier as he did not feel comfortable heading to
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: a bed knowing he'd observed a change in my behaviour.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Over a two-hour walk along the beach and some caring,
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: reassuring conversations, my anxieties eased. He wasn't concerned about my
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: on-field performance. He purely wanted to see me happy again
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: and enjoying.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: My life again.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Is that not a great indication of what the life
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: of a head coach might be like?
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Totally, yeah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: And you've got 40... three of 44 of those guys
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: every year and then you got turnover from that don't you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: And not just children renny either like they're grown men
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: with you know families at times off-field issues going on.
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: Well that's it and then you're dealing with all of
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: that as well so it might be the breakdown of
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: a of a relationship or a sick child or a
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: sick you know parent sibling all of that um It's
• 41:26
  Speaker 9: so much man management now and time.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they're all time poor. It's a hard game.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: And I just thought reading that, and I know Alistair
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Clarkson's been quite open with his frustration around how it
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: was handled, but you can kind of see his point. Like,
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: he spent how long in the game developing and working
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: with players.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: He's won premierships.
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: And then for people to kind of go in front
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: of the media and suggest he's lost touch with the game,
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: you can see why he'd be hurt, can't you?
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: Definitely, and I think that story, those allegations that were made,
• 42:00
  Speaker 9: I think has really affected him.
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Just, I think that's hurt him hard, those allegations.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: How many conversations like that, how many mentoring sessions, how
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: many development sessions has he had with North Melbourne players
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: that aren't written in the paper right now?
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: You know, he'd be, yeah, I can see why he's frustrated.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep, totally.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Well, teams... tomorrow night for the Crows in Brisbane.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 42:25
  Speaker 9: Main session tonight, so we'll have a little bit more
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: out of the Crows. I don't know that they will
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: make a change. Maybe Zach Taylor, but I don't know
• 42:32
  Speaker 9: who comes in, goes out. I mean, you can bring
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: someone in, but you've got to take someone out. Maybe
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: Mitch Hinge, but I don't think they'll risk it. Like
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: you said, Ned, one game for the season. But big
• 42:41
  Speaker 9: session tonight at Adelaide Oval.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Big session.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: We'll get the update tomorrow.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Well done, Rennie. Thank you. Also, tomorrow, let's have a
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: quick chat about this BBL privatisation that wasn't going ahead
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: and now is going ahead.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Now is going ahead.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll do that tomorrow morning.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do that.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Tommy. Before we get out of here, Mark
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: from Highbury, good morning.
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: How are you going?
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Good, Mark.
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: You got a Speedway update?
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: No.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: No, no, I don't want to disappoint you, but this
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: weekend's the round nine of the SGP, so I'll tell
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: you on Monday.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: But I reckon you're barking up the wrong tree with
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: Zach Merritt.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's not the one suitable?
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: No, no, I reckon Lockie Neal.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: He's off to Collingwood, though, isn't he?
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but, you know, money can talk, and he's from
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: South Australia.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: I think you've got a reasonable argument there, Mark. I
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: think he could really help the Adelaide Crows in.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: The short term.
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: You're not wrong.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: You know, let's say he's won two brown loads, he
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: should have won four.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, he can get the ball.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And he can play.
• 43:44
  Speaker 18: So, you know, I'd rather ring his management than Zach
• 43:48
  Speaker 18: Merritt's because, oh, Zach might spit the chewing and say,
• 43:50
  Speaker 18: I don't want to play anymore.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: It's actually a really good point, Mark, and I wonder
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: what our listeners think. Do you think, who would you get?
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: 8223 0000.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: Would you get Merritt or would you get Neil for
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: our Crows footy loving listeners?
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Well, two nine zeros are playing a bit of funny
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: buggers on the text line. Morning, boys, with Bailey commending
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: to the Lions. Surely the Crows now into the race
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: for Zach Butters.
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: I reckon that would cause a riot.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Imagine that.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Now, honestly, there would be a civil war in Adelaide
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: if that happened between two parties.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: And lastly, before we get out of here, Manny and
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: the Blue Brothers, I was born in SA. The family
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: story is interesting. I found 5AA through the app, found
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: your show, and got the apps sorted. Stopped listening to
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: the usual show over here because they were filling it
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: with AI rubbish, sadly. And some nice words. Thank you
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: very much, Mandy. And, of course, we've got to get
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: out of here, though, Ned, because we are running late.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Over time.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: Are we running late, are we?
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: We are running late.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: Can I just quickly say goodbye to the Blue Brothers?
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Quickly. And on that note, Will and Stace for 5AA
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Breakfast coming up after the 6 o'clock news with Kenny
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: and Tommy.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: 5AA Early Breakfast.
