- 0:45Speaker 3: Good morning, Sammy. Good morning, High Fivers. How are you?
- 0:48Speaker 3: How is everyone?
- 0:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not bad for a Wednesday. Short week. How
- 0:52Speaker 2: can you not be up and about for a short week?
- 0:54Speaker 3: Well, hump day, isn't it? The hump's really creeped up
- 0:57Speaker 3: on us. It's like one of those streets where they
- 0:59Speaker 3: put a new speeding hump in and you just kind of...
- 1:01Speaker 3: It's going along five or six over the limit and
- 1:04Speaker 3: you just go, ooh, ooh, what was that?
- 1:07Speaker 1: Was that a cat?
- 1:08Speaker 3: No. Can't say that. We've got a lot of cat lovers.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Sue and others, of course, think Rob's got a cat
- 1:14Speaker 3: as well, doesn't he?
- 1:15Speaker 1: No, he doesn't.
- 1:16Speaker 3: He's got a Jack Russell. I think he's got a
- 1:18Speaker 3: Jack Russell. Maybe a couple of Jack Russells even.
- 1:20Speaker 2: He'll correct us if we're wrong.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Now, right off the top of the show, this is
- 1:25Speaker 3: Breaking News Team 505. You gave.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Me no warning on this.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Are you going hot off the press?
- 1:33Speaker 2: Well, is it breaking news or is it hot off
- 1:35Speaker 2: the press?
- 1:36Speaker 3: It's a little bit of both.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:38Speaker 3: If you had a hybrid. What are you doing scooting
- 1:41Speaker 3: around there? Is there something going on? Let me just
- 1:43Speaker 3: continue while you do that. For our listeners up early.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Adelaide's 5AA. Breaking news.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Yeah, well timed on that. That did not add to
- 1:56Speaker 3: my news outlet. For those up early, they're the ones
- 2:01Speaker 3: who receive the breaking news. Now, as reported, I think
- 2:06Speaker 3: page two in the advertiser this morning, or page three,
- 2:12Speaker 3: Bickford's Our major sponsor, along with Pepper's Truck Wash.
- 2:18Speaker 2: You can't call them a major sponsor. They're not on
- 2:20Speaker 2: board yet. You can't give them the same billing as Pepper's.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Pepper's Truck Wash and Ray Pepper, if you've got a
- 2:28Speaker 3: fleet that you need to clean up, Keep clean. They
- 2:30Speaker 3: are the number one.
- 2:31Speaker 2: They are the numero uno.
- 2:33Speaker 3: They're fantastic. South Australian business has been trucking his whole life.
- 2:36Speaker 3: We love Pepper's Truck Wash. In fact, I used some
- 2:39Speaker 3: on the boat after my weekend doing some fishing. Just
- 2:42Speaker 3: a brilliant product. Get in there. Now, that's number one sponsor.
- 2:45Speaker 3: The second, the Silver Band. Actually, no. Let's call Pepper's
- 2:50Speaker 3: Platinum and let's call Bickford's Gold.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I don't think we could call them anything.
- 2:54Speaker 5: No, they are.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Where's the money?
- 2:55Speaker 3: Where's the product? They don't contribute financially, but they do
- 2:59Speaker 3: contribute in spirit.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Bickford's has locked in a high-stakes federal court battle with
- 3:07Speaker 3: a New South Wales drinks brand, Noot Drinks Co. Founder
- 3:12Speaker 3: Christian Barton there at Noot Drinks Co. He's obviously defending
- 3:16Speaker 3: the claims. It's over the trademark of Spritz. So on
- 3:20Speaker 3: non-alcoholic soft drinks, Bigfords is saying, hello, we've trademarked Spritz.
- 3:25Speaker 3: That's our thing. And I say ours is you and
- 3:28Speaker 3: I too. We align with that. This Newt Drinks Co. mob,
- 3:33Speaker 3: they're trying to take our trademarks. So the whole, you know,
- 3:37Speaker 3: defense is, well, is it a brand identifier or is
- 3:40Speaker 3: it just a beverage style? Now, Newt Drinks Co. have
- 3:43Speaker 3: got this clown in, Cara Devine. Now, I'm sure she's
- 3:48Speaker 3: a lovely woman, a lovely lady. I'm sure she's got
- 3:51Speaker 3: good things going on. She's worked in bars and cocktail
- 3:55Speaker 3: books and things. She's come in. to essentially identify the
- 4:00Speaker 3: fact that Spritz shouldn't be trademarked and Newt Drinks Co.
- 4:04Speaker 3: are within their rights to use our trademark, Bigford's trademark,
- 4:09Speaker 3: the early breakfast trademark, and Bigford's have done a great job.
- 4:13Speaker 3: They've tried to block her in the federal court. That's failed.
- 4:16Speaker 3: So that's the update. So very, very stressful for us,
- 4:23Speaker 3: Bigford's loving.
- 4:25Speaker 2: The Bigford's battalion.
- 4:26Speaker 3: The Bigford's battalion. I mean, yeah. Anyway, still waiting on
- 4:30Speaker 3: the Bickford's news. We've had an iron in the fire
- 4:35Speaker 3: there in a sponsorship sense for months. Not getting any
- 4:39Speaker 3: replies now. It's really, really, really kind of tailed off.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Look at what Mark said. Bugger off, New South Wales.
- 4:48Speaker 6: Crap.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Go Bickford's. Yeah, Mark.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Spritz.
- 4:51Speaker 2: When you think of Bickford's, do you think of Spritz?
- 4:54Speaker 3: No, I don't, but that's their trademark. That's the rules.
- 4:58Speaker 2: That's the rules.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Once you're Bickford's, you don't go back, and it's as
- 5:02Speaker 3: simple as that.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Chris from Piccadilly on the text line. He is the
- 5:07Speaker 2: one with the mother on Thistle Island.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Hang on. That's the board that we had with the fellas.
- 5:13Speaker 3: I met your mum, Chris.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Morning, Ned and Sam. Running late and missed you guys yesterday.
- 5:17Speaker 2: That's no on daylight saving for me. Ned, if you
- 5:21Speaker 2: were a part of the event on the weekend, it
- 5:23Speaker 2: sounds like my mum has catered for you guys anyway.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Hope you enjoyed the weekend. Chris from Piccadilly.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Chris.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Chris.
- 5:31Speaker 3: You're a legend. Your mum makes the best sausage rolls
- 5:34Speaker 3: I've ever had. Chris, Chriso, they've got hoisin sauce in
- 5:38Speaker 3: the sausage rolls. So, Sammy, Chris's mum made this amazing platter.
- 5:44Speaker 7: It was the.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Size of a huge kind of outdoor table. She brought
- 5:48Speaker 3: it down, and she had 18, you know, brain-dead imbeciles
- 5:52Speaker 3: all eating from it. Oh, it was just fabulous.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Okay, so we're going to get to the bottom of this.
- 5:57Speaker 2: So on Friday, on early breakfast, or Thursday or Friday,
- 6:01Speaker 2: we heard that Chris's mum was on Thistle Island, and
- 6:05Speaker 2: that's where you were heading out to when you left
- 6:07Speaker 2: early breakfast on Friday. And we were roughly talking about
- 6:10Speaker 2: you should pop in for a coffee or a meal.
- 6:13Speaker 2: How has it come to be that even though you
- 6:16Speaker 2: didn't set anything up, his mother's still catered for you.
- 6:20Speaker 3: I've still met Chris's mum.
- 6:21Speaker 2: How did this happen?
- 6:22Speaker 3: It's the universe working in unique and fabulous ways. No,
- 6:27Speaker 3: Chris's mum had pre-organised to do a huge platter because
- 6:30Speaker 3: it was for my mate's bucks.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Mate's bucks, who, to be honest, is the one with
- 6:36Speaker 3: the place on Thistle. So we went on my boat.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I took everyone out to the island, did all the
- 6:43Speaker 3: fishing and stuff, brought everyone in. And then we, and
- 6:45Speaker 3: then we had a, you know, campfire and stuff up
- 6:47Speaker 3: at the island at his place. Anyway, long story short,
- 6:50Speaker 3: there's not that many people on Thistle. That's one of
- 6:52Speaker 3: the key things here. Like I don't, it's like a
- 6:55Speaker 3: handful of people.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 6:56Speaker 3: It's a smaller sample size of what, you know. It's
- 6:59Speaker 3: not like going to Sydney and someone makes a platyphoid
- 7:02Speaker 3: and you go, oh, my goodness, that was the same person. Like,
- 7:05Speaker 3: that's unlikely.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So what goes into the sausage rolls?
- 7:07Speaker 3: Hoisin sauce.
- 7:08Speaker 2: What's the meat?
- 7:09Speaker 3: I said to her, I must admit I was pretty
- 7:11Speaker 3: intoxicated as well. At least you're honest. I said to her,
- 7:15Speaker 3: I said, that is the best sausage roll I've ever had.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I have never had a sausage roll with that much flavor.
- 7:21Speaker 3: She said, I hadn't even tried them, but I got
- 7:24Speaker 3: told they were great. She put hoisin sauce in them, Sammy.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Were they homemade?
- 7:29Speaker 2: Hang on.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Were they homemade, Sam? They were the most homemade sausage
- 7:32Speaker 3: roll I have ever had.
- 7:33Speaker 2: Okay.
- 7:34Speaker 3: They were amazing. Oh, how do you make your sausage rolls, team?
- 7:38Speaker 5: 8223 0000.
- 7:38Speaker 3: What's your secret ingredient?
- 7:42Speaker 2: You want a great Adelaide story? Not great, but a
- 7:45Speaker 2: proper Adelaide story of people just running into people, people
- 7:48Speaker 2: knowing people, like everyone does in Adelaide.
- 7:50Speaker 3: It's so Adelaide-like, isn't it?
- 7:51Speaker 2: It's so Adelaide.
- 7:52Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Turns out Chris from Piccadilly works with my mate, and
- 7:55Speaker 2: they were talking about early breakfast and the fact that
- 7:57Speaker 2: you were going to his mum's place on Thistle yesterday.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Where do they work? Oh, maybe don't disclose that. Okay.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Just tell us the sector. What do they do?
- 8:07Speaker 2: Sausage making.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Sausage making?
- 8:10Speaker 2: That's what I was trying to get to the bottom
- 8:11Speaker 2: of where the sausage rolls came from.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Chris is a sausage maker?
- 8:14Speaker 2: I think he works in that industry, yes. I'm not
- 8:17Speaker 2: entirely sure, but he works with my mate.
- 8:19Speaker 3: My goodness.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Adelaide for you. Everyone knows everyone.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Okay, so we've got Bigford's sponsoring us, and now we
- 8:26Speaker 3: could potentially have a sausage company. We might be interested.
- 8:31Speaker 3: Do you have vegan sausages?
- 8:33Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not great.
- 8:34Speaker 3: No, they'd be horrible. They're terrible.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Horrible.
- 8:36Speaker 5: Horrible.
- 8:36Speaker 3: 8223 0000, what is your secret ingredient for either sausage
- 8:41Speaker 3: rolls or anything? What's something strange you put in something
- 8:45Speaker 3: that takes it to another level? Do you bake and
- 8:49Speaker 3: make an apple pie and put something weird in it
- 8:52Speaker 3: and it's delicious? Would love to hear anyone's secret little
- 8:56Speaker 3: things in their home recipes.
- 9:02Speaker 2: 8223 0000 044808 1395. Talking about animals just before. Mark
- 9:06Speaker 2: from Parra Hills. Morning High Fivers. Four cats live here. Sebastian, Cinnamon,
- 9:11Speaker 2: Cosmo and Willow.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Right. Mark, that is a lot of cats. Are they
- 9:16Speaker 3: your cats?
- 9:17Speaker 2: I'd hope so.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Well, he says four cats live here. I mean, he
- 9:21Speaker 3: doesn't say they're my cats. His house might have been
- 9:24Speaker 3: overrun by cats, by feral cats. I'm not sure.
- 9:28Speaker 2: And Joe, thank you for thinking about me. Poor Sam,
- 9:30Speaker 2: feeling like you're adopted. No one's making or baking anything
- 9:34Speaker 2: for you.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Oh, Joe.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I'm not the superstar here. It's all Ned.
- 9:37Speaker 3: No, that's not true.
- 9:38Speaker 4: I think.
- 9:39Speaker 3: people uh there's no ingredients left that he's allowed to
- 9:42Speaker 3: ethically eat uh joe so the people try and bake
- 9:45Speaker 3: for him but he says.
- 9:46Speaker 8: No i can't have an egg no that chicken was
- 9:48Speaker 8: exploited or no i can't have that flour that was
- 9:52Speaker 8: put in a shifter without its consent what was that
- 9:56Speaker 8: accent Big news yesterday.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Yep.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Broke just before midday. Grant Stephens, the police commissioner, will
- 10:02Speaker 2: become the next governor of South Australia. He will be
- 10:05Speaker 2: hanging up his duties at SAPOL on Friday the 23rd
- 10:09Speaker 2: of October and becoming the governor of South Australia on
- 10:13Speaker 2: Wednesday the 9th of December. Here is a bit of
- 10:15Speaker 2: the Premier and Grant Stephens, His Excellency Grant Stephens. talking yesterday.
- 10:20Speaker 9: It is a genuine privilege and pleasure this morning to
- 10:24Speaker 9: announce that Grantley Stevens will become the 37th Governor of
- 10:30Speaker 9: the State of South Australia.
- 10:31Speaker 10: I think it probably goes without saying that I was
- 10:35Speaker 10: deeply honoured when the Premier first spoke to me about
- 10:42Speaker 10: my preparedness to take over as the next Governor of
- 10:45Speaker 10: South Australia. I was still surprised when I had that
- 10:49Speaker 10: conversation with the Premier and he made sure that my
- 10:53Speaker 10: first obligation was to speak to Emma about exactly what
- 10:57Speaker 10: it means for us to step into this new role.
- 11:01Speaker 10: And after 45, almost 45 years of being a member
- 11:05Speaker 10: of the South Australia Police, it was inevitable that my
- 11:10Speaker 10: time as Commissioner would come to an end at some
- 11:12Speaker 10: point in the relatively near future. So both Emma and
- 11:16Speaker 10: I saw this as an opportunity to continue being a
- 11:18Speaker 10: part of the South Australian community in a way that
- 11:22Speaker 10: positively influences how South Australians live, work and enjoy what
- 11:30Speaker 10: we have here in South Australia.
- 11:31Speaker 2: You joined the police force back in 1982, became commissioner
- 11:35Speaker 2: as of July 2015. You still have about, I think,
- 11:38Speaker 2: 18 months to go. on his contract as Police Commissioner
- 11:42Speaker 2: of South Australia, but it's going to be ending soon.
- 11:44Speaker 2: We know he does great work with Operation Flinders. He
- 11:47Speaker 2: obviously was the State Duty Commander during the COVID-19 pandemic
- 11:51Speaker 2: response as well. So Grant Stephens, he'll be on 5AA
- 11:55Speaker 2: Breakfast this morning after 7.30 to talk about his new
- 11:57Speaker 2: role and his time at SAPOL. So this is a
- 12:01Speaker 2: bit of a stretch though, Ned, but when have you
- 12:02Speaker 2: ever had a hunch? because we know the last few
- 12:06Speaker 2: months the rumours have been circulating that Grant Stephens could
- 12:09Speaker 2: be the next Governor of South Australia. I remember telling
- 12:14Speaker 2: my mother about three or four years ago, Grant Stephens
- 12:17Speaker 2: will be our Governor of South Australia. My mother is
- 12:19Speaker 2: my witness. I said those exact words. When have you
- 12:23Speaker 2: ever had a hunch?
- 12:24Speaker 3: Are we really creating a whole radio segment to these
- 12:28Speaker 3: poor listeners about the fact that once you said something
- 12:31Speaker 3: to your mother and you believe it to be correct?
- 12:32Speaker 2: Well, what else is this show based on?
- 12:34Speaker 3: No, I get that. I'm just saying. The argument of
- 12:38Speaker 3: once I told my mum something would happen and she went, yes, Sammy,
- 12:42Speaker 3: it will happen.
- 12:42Speaker 2: 100%. You could just play along.
- 12:45Speaker 3: But that's just absolutely ridiculous.
- 12:48Speaker 2: So you've never had a hunch then? That's come to fruition.
- 12:50Speaker 3: I have hunches all the time. You always have intuition.
- 12:54Speaker 3: It's like when you think about someone and then your
- 12:56Speaker 3: phone rings.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Oh, that's creepy.
- 12:58Speaker 3: That happens all the time. I'm telling you, intuition and
- 13:01Speaker 3: gut feels and manifestation is real.
- 13:05Speaker 2: When you're making big decisions.
- 13:07Speaker 3: But also, sorry to interrupt you, Grant Stevens was, if
- 13:10Speaker 3: there was a betting market, would be the hot favourite.
- 13:13Speaker 2: I said this four years ago.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Well, four years ago. That's good. That's good effort. So
- 13:18Speaker 3: you don't have it in writing.
- 13:20Speaker 11: No.
- 13:20Speaker 3: No one else can verify. It's just your own family.
- 13:23Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Probably not the best source.
- 13:25Speaker 1: No.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Horrible source.
- 13:26Speaker 2: But I'm happy I said it.
- 13:28Speaker 3: So a hunch. You're talking about a hunch, though. What
- 13:31Speaker 3: other hunches could someone have?
- 13:32Speaker 5: Hmm.
- 13:36Speaker 2: That's for the listeners to work out. 822-300-00. When have
- 13:40Speaker 2: you had an intuition or a moment where you just
- 13:42Speaker 2: thought this and it happened?
- 13:44Speaker 4: Okay.
- 13:46Speaker 2: When you're making big decisions in life, do you follow
- 13:48Speaker 2: your head or your gut?
- 13:50Speaker 4: No.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Oh.
- 13:51Speaker 3: Well, I think a lot of people make things based
- 13:54Speaker 3: on gut feel. You always get a gut feel on
- 13:56Speaker 3: whether someone's.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Right or not.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. I've met people before and had a gut
- 14:01Speaker 3: feel that they're a tosser.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Yep, I've done the same.
- 14:04Speaker 3: And they are. But everyone does that. That's life, isn't it?
- 14:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:08Speaker 2: On the text line, Robin Clearview, isn't a vegan sausage
- 14:11Speaker 2: just a carrot?
- 14:12Speaker 3: Rob, just so you know, we read that out when
- 14:14Speaker 3: that audio was playing, burst into laughter. That was so funny. Hey,
- 14:18Speaker 3: give us a call. 8223 0000 518. Would love to
- 14:22Speaker 3: speak to someone this morning.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Quiet phones. Everyone's still out of whack with daylight saving.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Yeah, I must admit, actually, it is a little bit
- 14:29Speaker 3: quiet on the phones this morning, so... Yeah.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Boo!
- 14:32Speaker 3: We don't like that.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Mark from Parahills just clarified, my daughter's cat's not feral,
- 14:36Speaker 2: but I did find Willow as a kitten. Thank you, Mark.
- 14:39Speaker 3: No, certainly not feral.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Sorry, Mark.
- 14:41Speaker 3: I shouldn't have assumed that. Nice work on the hunch stuff.
- 14:44Speaker 3: We'll get some calls as they come through, Sammy. That
- 14:47Speaker 3: hunch segment was a ripper. That was well thought through,
- 14:51Speaker 3: that one. Lots of hunch examples.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Just to round out on that, do you have any
- 14:58Speaker 3: other examples of.
- 14:59Speaker 2: A hunch that you've had? You haven't joined in. Where's
- 15:02Speaker 2: your example?
- 15:02Speaker 3: I told you I've had a hunch about people.
- 15:04Speaker 2: About someone being a tosser, and they were.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's a hunch. What else have I had
- 15:09Speaker 3: a hunch on? I had a hunch that you haven't
- 15:15Speaker 3: even got any verification on your... You know, it's not credible.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Do you want me to ring my mum up in
- 15:20Speaker 2: the show?
- 15:21Speaker 3: You can ring her up.
- 15:22Speaker 2: She probably wouldn't pick up.
- 15:23Speaker 3: But if I... I mean, what if I said I
- 15:27Speaker 3: had a hunch that... What's something unique that's happened lately?
- 15:31Speaker 3: Give me an example of something. I had a hunch that.
- 15:36Speaker 2: This isn't going anywhere. Craig in Engle Farm. Good morning
- 15:38Speaker 2: and save us.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Oh, God, that was great.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Good morning, boys.
- 15:41Speaker 2: How are we?
- 15:41Speaker 4: Good.
- 15:43Speaker 5: Just having me boil hard-boiled eggs, you caught me on
- 15:45Speaker 5: my second one.
- 15:46Speaker 7: Nice.
- 15:47Speaker 5: I thought I'd, yeah, you made me feel guilty for
- 15:49Speaker 5: not ringing in, so I thought I'd ring.
- 15:51Speaker 12: And support you.
- 15:55Speaker 5: I did have a subject for you. I was going
- 15:56Speaker 5: to leave it for Monday because this is classic. I've
- 15:59Speaker 5: been meaning to tell you, you lads, there's this guy
- 16:03Speaker 5: on Port Road in peak hour traffic that I've seen,
- 16:06Speaker 5: I've probably.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Seen a dozen times in the last year.
- 16:09Speaker 5: And whether it's raining or it's beautiful, around 7.30, 8 o'clock,
- 16:12Speaker 5: he's got a big beard, big guy, and he's always
- 16:16Speaker 5: holding a huge sign that says, I have a smile,
- 16:19Speaker 5: have a great day. And he's a legend. Always give
- 16:22Speaker 5: him a beep. And I don't know if he's there
- 16:25Speaker 5: every morning. I don't know if anyone else has seen him.
- 16:27Speaker 5: But it makes my day. This guy, he's always got
- 16:30Speaker 5: a big smile on his face. And he's simply there
- 16:33Speaker 5: just to make everyone's day a good start to the
- 16:35Speaker 5: day to cheer everyone up.
- 16:36Speaker 3: And he's a legend.
- 16:37Speaker 5: So I don't know if he listens or anyone else
- 16:39Speaker 5: has seen him. But, yeah, on Port Road heading towards
- 16:42Speaker 5: the city, And I've seen him at least a dozen
- 16:46Speaker 5: times in the last year.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Craig, you are spot on. Because I used to come
- 16:50Speaker 3: from West Lakes at the footy club. I reckon he's
- 16:52Speaker 3: only there once a week or kind of around that mark,
- 16:55Speaker 3: which is still an outstanding effort given he's volunteering his time.
- 16:59Speaker 3: I mean, my goodness. He's a legend. He is a legend.
- 17:02Speaker 3: And he just says, have a great day, Hong. And
- 17:04Speaker 3: everyone goes by. He probably would have no idea that
- 17:09Speaker 3: he's spoken about regularly and fondly at the Adelaide Footy Club.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Everyone loves him.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Really? Yeah.
- 17:15Speaker 5: No, I just think what a legend. What a great
- 17:17Speaker 5: guy just to have the consideration just, you know, for
- 17:20Speaker 5: other people.
- 17:21Speaker 7: And it does.
- 17:21Speaker 11: It makes you smile.
- 17:22Speaker 5: It makes you day.
- 17:23Speaker 3: You give him a treat.
- 17:24Speaker 12: He gives you a wave.
- 17:26Speaker 1: What a legend.
- 17:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 17:27Speaker 3: No, great call, Craig. Thanks for calling in. That was
- 17:30Speaker 3: a great pivot there, Craig, in terms of, you know,
- 17:34Speaker 3: some unsung community legends like that. Has anyone else got someone...
- 17:41Speaker 3: whoever it is, whatever they're doing, somewhere in the South
- 17:43Speaker 3: Australian community that might not necessarily be getting mainstream recognition
- 17:47Speaker 3: for their work, but is doing great things.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Jump on the phones, 8223 0000 044808 1395 21 after five.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Back with your call shortly. Ned McHenry and Sam Datto,
- 17:52Speaker 2: 5AA Early Breakfast. 25 after 5 on this Wednesday, 8223 0000.
- 18:08Speaker 2: If you want to join in on the program, plenty
- 18:13Speaker 2: of texts flying in. Tom, I feel a bit uneasy
- 18:16Speaker 2: about this governor appointment. Only a few months ago, Grant
- 18:19Speaker 2: Stephens faced a 92% vote of no confidence from the
- 18:22Speaker 2: Police Association delegates, and now he is heading to the
- 18:26Speaker 2: highest office in the state. How do you go from
- 18:28Speaker 2: losing the confidence of your own workforce to becoming governor? Tom,
- 18:31Speaker 2: he addressed that yesterday in his press conference, and as
- 18:33Speaker 2: I said, he will be on 5AA Breakfast this morning,
- 18:35Speaker 2: so I suggest you tune in.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Yeah, well said. It is a good comment, though, and
- 18:40Speaker 3: a fair question to ask. Mandy, she said, no, my
- 18:45Speaker 3: phone died and I have to listen via the app.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Good morning, Ned and Sam. I hope you're both well.
- 18:50Speaker 3: What did I miss? A show recap and go, Mandy
- 18:53Speaker 3: and the Blue Brothers.
- 18:54Speaker 2: You haven't missed anything, Mandy.
- 18:57Speaker 3: That's just me saying hello to your blue heelers there, Mandy.
- 19:01Speaker 3: You haven't missed anything, to be honest, at all. Good
- 19:05Speaker 3: work on that app, though. Love the 5AA player app. Sammy,
- 19:07Speaker 3: there's an ongoing argument in Adelaide, and it's around sending
- 19:12Speaker 3: an Australian into space.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Yes, Catherine Bernal-Peck.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:16Speaker 3: I mean, it's being proposed that, a $ 100 million-plus mission
- 19:21Speaker 3: to get her up to the International Space Station. Now,
- 19:23Speaker 3: Peter Malinowskis has essentially said that South Australia would support
- 19:26Speaker 3: it modestly.
- 19:27Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
- 19:28Speaker 3: What do we think?
- 19:29Speaker 2: I think this directive has come from the Prime Minister
- 19:32Speaker 2: saying the states should get involved, I believe. I'd like
- 19:36Speaker 2: to know, well, at least she's South Australian. She's one
- 19:38Speaker 2: of ours. But how would someone in Queensland, how would
- 19:42Speaker 2: a Queensland taxpayer feel? Would they feel like they're doing
- 19:44Speaker 2: their civic duty as an Australian or would they be thinking, no,
- 19:48Speaker 2: South Australian can fund it?
- 19:49Speaker 3: Let me break. it down like this. If you said
- 19:52Speaker 3: to every South Australian, and look, we wouldn't be able
- 19:55Speaker 3: to raise enough money in just South Australia, so there'd
- 19:58Speaker 3: have to be federal support. But if you said to
- 20:00Speaker 3: every South Australian, hey, put in $ 10, 000, and we'll get
- 20:04Speaker 3: someone up to space, a South Australian, and they'll put
- 20:07Speaker 3: an Aussie flag in the International Space Station, whatever. How
- 20:11Speaker 3: many people do you think would want to do that?
- 20:14Speaker 3: I couldn't give a rat's toss bag about getting someone
- 20:20Speaker 3: up to space. Could not give an absolute stuff. Nothing
- 20:25Speaker 3: interests me less than someone floating around up there.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Sorry, just to clarify, is that getting her to space
- 20:31Speaker 2: or getting her to the moon?
- 20:32Speaker 3: No, the moon?
- 20:34Speaker 2: Well, because Artemis missions are taking place as well, and
- 20:38Speaker 2: Artemis 3 and 4 will be heading to the moon.
- 20:40Speaker 2: But I'm asking you the clarifying question.
- 20:42Speaker 3: This report is suggesting to get up to the International
- 20:46Speaker 3: Space Station.
- 20:47Speaker 2: See, I think if it was funding her to get
- 20:49Speaker 2: to the moon and walk on the moon, yeah, I'd
- 20:52Speaker 2: understand it.
- 20:53Speaker 5: Why?
- 20:54Speaker 2: Because why not?
- 20:56Speaker 3: Well, I could say that about everything. Why doesn't everyone
- 20:58Speaker 3: give me $ 10 so I can have unlimited diesel in
- 21:00Speaker 3: my boat?
- 21:00Speaker 2: Why not? That's a stupid idea. Why are we funding
- 21:03Speaker 2: you to pay for your diesel? You just said, why not?
- 21:04Speaker 3: You tell me why. Why everyone should pay for her
- 21:07Speaker 3: to go up to outer space.
- 21:08Speaker 5: Why?
- 21:09Speaker 2: I said to the moon.
- 21:10Speaker 3: No, to the moon.
- 21:11Speaker 5: Why?
- 21:12Speaker 2: Because space exploration is one of the great frontiers. Everyone
- 21:15Speaker 2: looks up to space. It brings everyone together when we
- 21:17Speaker 2: do space exploration. You asked me a question and now
- 21:21Speaker 2: you're dissing it straight away. So why don't you just
- 21:22Speaker 2: keep your mouth shut for a second?
- 21:23Speaker 3: No, keep going, keep going.
- 21:26Speaker 2: Think back to 1969, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landing
- 21:29Speaker 2: on the moon for the first time. That stuff is
- 21:31Speaker 2: still folklore. All the things that we find out while
- 21:33Speaker 2: heading to space that makes everyday life easier. To name one,
- 21:37Speaker 2: Velcro came from space exploration.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Oh, wow, Velcro. How could we live without that?
- 21:42Speaker 2: You really can't keep your mouth shut for a second,
- 21:43Speaker 2: can you?
- 21:44Speaker 3: No, no. Starlink or Velcro?
- 21:45Speaker 2: Well, Starlink is from space exploration as well. That's my
- 21:50Speaker 2: joke around. But I'm naming what happened from the 1960s.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I'm just saying that being able to send someone up
- 21:56Speaker 2: to the moon, to walk on the moon, to have
- 21:57Speaker 2: a South Australian walk on the moon during the Artemis
- 22:00Speaker 2: missions would be one of the most amazing things we
- 22:03Speaker 2: could do. And it would always be written down that
- 22:06Speaker 2: a South Australian female walked on the moon.
- 22:08Speaker 3: We have a texter. And we need some clarity because
- 22:11Speaker 3: you're good with this. It says Catherine Bunnell-Pegg, not even
- 22:15Speaker 3: from South Australia, by the way. She's from Sydney, moved here,
- 22:18Speaker 3: and she grew up in Queensland.
- 22:19Speaker 2: True, but she's adopted South Australia.
- 22:20Speaker 3: She's like Red Dog, you know.
- 22:22Speaker 2: She travels everywhere. So by those rules, you're Victorian.
- 22:26Speaker 4: Yep.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 22:28Speaker 2: I'm just.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Well, I was originally Victorian. That makes me feel physically
- 22:34Speaker 3: ill saying that out loud. If anyone seriously wants to
- 22:37Speaker 3: put money to get Catherine up to space, I mean, seriously,
- 22:42Speaker 3: give us a call and explain why the heck you
- 22:44Speaker 3: would want your hard-earned clams to go towards that.
- 22:46Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it's probably going
- 22:48Speaker 2: to be taxpayer money and we're not going to have
- 22:49Speaker 2: any say.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Well, and that's what happened. I mean, what a disgrace, seriously.
- 22:52Speaker 3: The only argument is what you're saying is that the
- 22:57Speaker 3: science and the research and the innovation of space exploration
- 23:01Speaker 3: supports us with energy, etc., But it's all for renewable
- 23:07Speaker 3: energy anyway these days.
- 23:08Speaker 2: That's terrible. Marge at Hampstead Gardens, good morning.
- 23:11Speaker 3: We're going to destroy this country, Marge.
- 23:14Speaker 4: You are.
- 23:18Speaker 11: I'd rather give $ 10 a tour to feed the homeless,
- 23:21Speaker 11: and the only important flag is the one that's flying
- 23:23Speaker 11: up on the chimney on Port Road.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Oh, oh, you're a big Norwood fan, Marge.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Well, that's not flying. Isn't that painted on the chimney, Marge? Well, whatever,
- 23:34Speaker 3: it's still there, isn't it?
- 23:35Speaker 2: We won.
- 23:36Speaker 3: Well, I'm convinced the flag wasn't flying on the moon
- 23:39Speaker 3: when they went out there last time. I think that's
- 23:41Speaker 3: all a hoax.
- 23:43Speaker 11: I think you're a hoax.
- 23:45Speaker 3: Oh, Marge.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Marge.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Do you think Norwood can go back-to-back, Marge? Of course. Yeah, no,
- 23:54Speaker 3: I agree.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Right on, Marge. Julian Blagview, good morning.
- 23:58Speaker 11: Yeah, good morning, boys. Good morning, Grandma McHenry.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure she'll appreciate that. Jules, I haven't sprained
- 24:03Speaker 3: her for a couple of days. Good reminder to give
- 24:05Speaker 3: her a call.
- 24:07Speaker 11: That's good, Ned. You look after your grandma.
- 24:09Speaker 3: Will do.
- 24:10Speaker 12: On the.
- 24:14Speaker 11: Space travel, look, I think we do need to have
- 24:18Speaker 11: space travel, obviously. You know, all the satellites and everything
- 24:21Speaker 11: that go up there, you have to do all of that.
- 24:23Speaker 11: I completely get that. But I just think at the moment,
- 24:27Speaker 11: the state that the country is in, there are so
- 24:30Speaker 11: many people can't afford to pay their mortgage rent, put
- 24:35Speaker 11: food on the table, just so many homeless. And you've
- 24:39Speaker 11: got Albo sprouting about every state should give X amount
- 24:44Speaker 11: of money so that they can do this. If he
- 24:47Speaker 11: perhaps didn't give so much money to every other country
- 24:52Speaker 11: around the world rather than his own country, Maybe the
- 24:57Speaker 11: feds could fund it, but when you're giving $ 600 million
- 25:00Speaker 11: for a rugby league team in PNG, and also I
- 25:05Speaker 11: think you gave an extra $ 60 million a few weeks
- 25:09Speaker 11: ago for grassroots rugby, and then you've got Buffett Bowen
- 25:15Speaker 11: in his little climate jaunt over in Fiji spending $ 20 million.
- 25:22Speaker 11: You know, I just don't think at this stage it's
- 25:25Speaker 11: a viable position to be putting the country in.
- 25:29Speaker 3: No, that's a fair argument, Julie, and I appreciate your thoughts.
- 25:34Speaker 2: I think with the P & G thing and the
- 25:36Speaker 2: whole rugby league team and the $ 600 million, though, there's
- 25:38Speaker 2: a lot more to play than just building a rugby
- 25:40Speaker 2: league team. It's China influences. There's a lot going on
- 25:43Speaker 2: in that region that's well above our pay grade.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Yeah, no, there is. There's a lot of arguments that
- 25:48Speaker 3: the commercial return on that spend there is going to
- 25:50Speaker 3: be massive too.
- 25:51Speaker 7: Yes.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Yes. Massive.
- 25:53Speaker 3: But in an NRL sense, I know they're thrilled about it.
- 25:55Speaker 2: But would you want to be going to play sport
- 25:57Speaker 2: in PNG? If there was an AFL side and they
- 25:59Speaker 2: picked you to go play in PNG.
- 26:01Speaker 3: They're giving players tax breaks.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Yes, I know.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Yeah, there's incentives to go and do it, yeah.
- 26:06Speaker 2: They'd have to be big incentives.
- 26:08Speaker 3: PNG, good fishing there. They've got all kinds of different...
- 26:11Speaker 3: They've got black bass. I think it's black bass and
- 26:14Speaker 3: they live in some of the... systems through Papua New Guinea.
- 26:17Speaker 3: It's very unique there, one of the hardest fighting fish.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Countries need ambition, Sam. They do need ambition and they
- 26:24Speaker 3: need innovation and science moves quickly and we need to
- 26:27Speaker 3: be at the forefront of that and with defence, et cetera,
- 26:30Speaker 3: you know, with all the satellite technology and drones. It's
- 26:33Speaker 3: all coming from space. I get it. But I mean,
- 26:36Speaker 3: why we would pay for someone to go up there
- 26:38Speaker 3: and walk around in space and put a flag up
- 26:41Speaker 3: there and act like they're all high and mighty. I mean, seriously,
- 26:43Speaker 3: it just makes me sick.
- 26:45Speaker 2: Debbie from Semaphore, I'm with you, Ned. Did I say
- 26:47Speaker 2: that out loud? Oh, Debbie, welcome. No need, no to
- 26:50Speaker 2: funding spacewalks at the moment. And Julie also raises a
- 26:53Speaker 2: good point. We're not in the best economic climate with
- 26:57Speaker 2: everything that's going on. But could that not be said
- 27:01Speaker 2: when is a good time then? When do you think
- 27:04Speaker 2: a good time would be to spend money on that
- 27:05Speaker 2: sort of stuff?
- 27:07Speaker 5: 2007.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Here we go. 2007 was when Australia peaked. Now, phone
- 27:12Speaker 3: lines are open, 822-300-00. If you've got any thoughts on
- 27:15Speaker 3: anything or you'd like to call in and say good
- 27:17Speaker 3: morning or tell us what you're up to or... What
- 27:19Speaker 3: you're doing on the weekend, that's good too. Another text
- 27:22Speaker 3: as well. You've conveniently forgotten to read this one, Sammy.
- 27:25Speaker 3: They said, I'm with you, Ned. Another one. Why do
- 27:28Speaker 3: we need to go to the moon? No interest whatsoever.
- 27:30Speaker 3: And did they really go to the moon in 1969?
- 27:33Speaker 2: We're not going into this, are we?
- 27:34Speaker 3: To this person who has text in, you raise a
- 27:38Speaker 3: very good point. I don't believe they went to the
- 27:41Speaker 3: moon in 1969.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Do you want me to dump that?
- 27:44Speaker 3: No, don't.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Don't.
- 27:45Speaker 3: Don't dump that.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Now.
- 27:47Speaker 3: I've said that a little brazenly because I haven't gone
- 27:50Speaker 3: and done a heap of research to be able to
- 27:52Speaker 3: back up an argument. What research is there to do?
- 27:53Speaker 3: There's a lot of research, Sam. Oh, no. Now, Sam, Sam, Sam,
- 27:59Speaker 3: we get told that we're not supposed to come on
- 28:01Speaker 3: here and ramble and provide comment without actually thinking. And
- 28:07Speaker 3: I get told that a bit. Just to give everyone
- 28:11Speaker 3: a bit of a lens into what the feedback is
- 28:13Speaker 3: like for me when I have to go into the office,
- 28:16Speaker 3: they kind of say, Ned, you've got to kind of
- 28:18Speaker 3: have a think before you say things, bud. And I've
- 28:20Speaker 3: kind of just claimed that the moon landing wasn't real
- 28:23Speaker 3: then without doing too much research. So just pump the
- 28:26Speaker 3: brakes on it a touch, but just know that I'm
- 28:30Speaker 3: pretty sure it didn't happen. I'm 99% sure they didn't
- 28:33Speaker 3: walk on the moon. Should we go to a break?
- 28:40Speaker 2: I don't know what you want me to say to that.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Let's go to a break and let's come back and
- 28:43Speaker 3: let's reset.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 28:48Speaker 3: 21 minutes to 6 on this Wednesday, going for a
- 28:56Speaker 3: top of 23 degrees.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Currently 11.4 in the city. Daylight saving, it's a big topic.
- 29:02Speaker 2: It's a big, big topic over in the United States
- 29:05Speaker 2: because Donald Trump, the president, is trying to permanently move
- 29:09Speaker 2: the time zone because he thinks it's a bit too hard.
- 29:13Speaker 2: It's a bit hard to change the clocks every couple
- 29:15Speaker 2: of months.
- 29:16Speaker 4: And get away from this ridiculous way and custom of...
- 29:22Speaker 4: every twice a year, turning your clocks back, turning your
- 29:26Speaker 4: clocks forward, being late for dinner, being late for very
- 29:29Speaker 4: important meetings.
- 29:31Speaker 7: It's ridiculous.
- 29:32Speaker 3: And if you look at the public.
- 29:33Speaker 13: They agree.
- 29:34Speaker 7: That's a 100% issue.
- 29:35Speaker 3: 65%, I'll give you an example.
- 29:39Speaker 7: Right now, we're sitting out here.
- 29:41Speaker 1: It's light, it's nice.
- 29:43Speaker 4: If you come down here in another three weeks, it'll
- 29:48Speaker 4: be dark.
- 29:49Speaker 2: It'll be, who wants it?
- 29:51Speaker 4: We want our sunlight in the afternoon.
- 29:52Speaker 2: But more importantly than that, we.
- 29:54Speaker 4: Don't want to change clocks.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Twice a year.
- 29:58Speaker 1: It's very expensive.
- 30:00Speaker 4: It's got many problems, even crime, as crazy as it sounds.
- 30:05Speaker 4: When you have light, you have much less fun.
- 30:08Speaker 2: President Donald Trump there speaking on daylight saving over in
- 30:11Speaker 2: the United States says it's too hard to change the
- 30:14Speaker 2: clocks every couple of months. They lose too much money.
- 30:17Speaker 2: Also causes crime because crime doesn't happen in the daylight, supposedly.
- 30:22Speaker 2: So would you want to see a permanent move? I mean,
- 30:26Speaker 2: I feel the feedback we've had on early breakfast so
- 30:28Speaker 2: far is everyone's not too keen on daylight saving as
- 30:33Speaker 2: a whole. To permanently move The time zone. So what
- 30:38Speaker 2: would be this time the entire year round, instead of
- 30:40Speaker 2: it getting dark in the middle of winter at about five,
- 30:42Speaker 2: it'd be six o'clock then. Would it really be worth
- 30:45Speaker 2: it moving it permanently? I wouldn't have thought so.
- 30:49Speaker 3: What does everyone think? 8223 0000, where are you sitting
- 30:53Speaker 3: with daylight savings?
- 30:54Speaker 2: Do you find it too hard to change the clocks
- 30:56Speaker 2: every six months?
- 30:57Speaker 3: No, I find it manageable.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we find it manageable.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Amongst my very busy schedule, he'd probably have about four PAs.
- 31:04Speaker 3: I'm sure one of them would do it.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Probably more than four.
- 31:06Speaker 3: I can't imagine him standing on a stepladder doing his
- 31:09Speaker 3: clock up in his big office. That is interesting. Who's
- 31:14Speaker 3: adjusted well? Who's enjoying it? Who's a little out of whack?
- 31:17Speaker 2: I'm saying the high-fivers are out of whack. I'm saying
- 31:19Speaker 2: they're still in bed. That's why the phones are quiet
- 31:21Speaker 2: this week.
- 31:22Speaker 3: No, the phones are okay. The phones are ticking along.
- 31:24Speaker 3: Marge was good from Hampset Games.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Marge is always good value.
- 31:26Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Marge is great. Who's a little different with
- 31:32Speaker 3: daylight savings? Who's looking out and going, oh, it's still
- 31:35Speaker 3: 4 o'clock, you know, not dinner time yet, and then
- 31:38Speaker 3: checking their clock and it's 6.30 or 7. It certainly
- 31:41Speaker 3: is different. Rounding out to what we were talking about before,
- 31:44Speaker 3: the text line, there is probably 14, 15 texts regarding
- 31:51Speaker 3: the moon landing. So.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Are we really doing this?
- 31:54Speaker 3: We need to do a straw poll. 8223 0000 or
- 31:58Speaker 3: text in on whatever the text line number is.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Sammy? 044808 1395.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Nice work with that text number. I can never remember.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Even though it was right in front of you.
- 32:08Speaker 3: Oh, it is too. That's handy. Do you or do
- 32:12Speaker 3: you not think that humans have been on the moon?
- 32:15Speaker 2: So I'm going for a yes.
- 32:16Speaker 3: There are some counter arguments to it. Have you had
- 32:21Speaker 3: a look at the flag in the footage?
- 32:23Speaker 2: Yes, I have.
- 32:24Speaker 3: And the shadows?
- 32:25Speaker 2: Have you seen the episode of Mythbusters when they prove
- 32:27Speaker 2: the fact that because there is a lack of air
- 32:30Speaker 2: resistance on the moon because there's no oxygen, it would
- 32:33Speaker 2: keep waving and waving and waving?
- 32:35Speaker 3: Oh, would it?
- 32:36Speaker 2: Yeah, because after they put it into the ground, No
- 32:39Speaker 2: air resistance. The flag keeps waving.
- 32:41Speaker 3: Okay. And you couldn't argue that during that arms race
- 32:45Speaker 3: time and with all of the kind of geopolitical tension
- 32:48Speaker 3: and the competitiveness, there wasn't an incentive to kind of
- 32:51Speaker 3: push the limits around truth and honesty to get up there?
- 32:56Speaker 3: You don't think that countries would have been incentivised to
- 32:58Speaker 3: push the truth? Do you agree with that or not?
- 33:02Speaker 2: Maybe. But I feel like that's something the cheeky Russians
- 33:06Speaker 2: would do. The Russians cheeky funny. I feel like.
- 33:15Speaker 3: You can't call the Russians cheeky, can you? Is it right?
- 33:22Speaker 2: I feel like America, especially in the 60s, in the
- 33:24Speaker 2: back of the death of JFK, and it was JFK's
- 33:27Speaker 2: announcement that they were going to land on the moon
- 33:29Speaker 2: before the decade was out. I don't see them faking it.
- 33:35Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I believe too much, Ned.
- 33:37Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no. I think people would think
- 33:40Speaker 3: that I'm probably the sillier one. But I do genuinely
- 33:43Speaker 3: think that if we had the technology and the capacity,
- 33:46Speaker 3: I know it was very expensive. That's what everyone says
- 33:48Speaker 3: to me. They go, it was so expensive. But if
- 33:50Speaker 3: we had the technological capacity to go and do that then,
- 33:53Speaker 3: why haven't we been back? Just the simplicity of that.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Well, there's been a lot of conjecture around where to
- 33:59Speaker 2: go next in space. There was a moon mission... about
- 34:02Speaker 2: 10 or 15 years ago, which was scrapped because the
- 34:05Speaker 2: idea was we'd been there and done that. So NASA
- 34:07Speaker 2: was then tasked to head to Mars, and then Mars
- 34:10Speaker 2: was too expensive, and now we're going back to the
- 34:11Speaker 2: moon instead because it's closer.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Why? I don't know. 822-300-00, someone explain to me space
- 34:20Speaker 3: exploration and what's going on, and don't give me the
- 34:23Speaker 3: usual rubbish around it helps us with science and defence
- 34:27Speaker 3: and stuff, with all of the technology, because we could
- 34:29Speaker 3: do that anyway, and we could put more energy and
- 34:32Speaker 3: more funding into that specifically. I mean, we're getting a
- 34:35Speaker 3: counter-outcome without even just going directly You know, we're flying
- 34:39Speaker 3: by Mars. It's costing us $ 100 billion to receive the
- 34:43Speaker 3: same outcome as when we could just be focused on
- 34:46Speaker 3: what we're trying to achieve anyway.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Phones are going off. Mark in Finden, good morning.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Good morning, gentlemen. I love when you do that, Mark.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 34:57Speaker 12: A daylight shaving takes you about a week to get
- 35:01Speaker 12: used to, but you get one you get up early
- 35:04Speaker 12: every morning, so it doesn't really matter.
- 35:06Speaker 7: Hmm.
- 35:08Speaker 12: So, and then it's good for the, well, it's not
- 35:10Speaker 12: good for the farmers, the dairy farmers, because my uncle
- 35:13Speaker 12: used to have a dairy farm, and the cows, they
- 35:17Speaker 12: were all out of whack, especially in the morning, so
- 35:19Speaker 12: they used to get milk at sunrise. And they used
- 35:23Speaker 12: to come in at sunset, but it was too late
- 35:25Speaker 12: for him to milk. So, but, hey, people, get over it.
- 35:30Speaker 12: I love it.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Love your work, Mark. We were talking about that yesterday.
- 35:35Speaker 12: And I know that, mate. You know, you ate it.
- 35:38Speaker 12: Because you're that popular, it's hard to get on. But
- 35:44Speaker 12: men on the moon, I reckon they did go.
- 35:46Speaker 4: On the moon.
- 35:47Speaker 2: That's another one for yes. Thank you, Mark. We'll go
- 35:50Speaker 2: to Raymond in Salisbury Plains. Good morning.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Morning, boys. How are we all this morning?
- 35:55Speaker 3: Love this man. Raymond, do you think we went to
- 35:57Speaker 3: the moon or not?
- 35:58Speaker 13: It's a big yes on two counts, man. Moon landing, yes.
- 36:01Speaker 13: And daylight saving, yeah.
- 36:02Speaker 11: Okay.
- 36:03Speaker 13: Big fan of both. Well, big fan of daylight saving.
- 36:06Speaker 13: Don't know about moon, but yeah, definitely. I reckon we
- 36:08Speaker 13: went to the moon.
- 36:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:09Speaker 13: Nettie, I'm a bit surprised that you're a bit of
- 36:11Speaker 13: a sceptic, mate.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Like, I don't get it.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Why?
- 36:15Speaker 3: No, the moon is just that one thing. Honestly, Raymond,
- 36:20Speaker 3: I have actually thought about this, and I really don't
- 36:23Speaker 3: think that we went to the moon.
- 36:26Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
- 36:27Speaker 13: I understand your points about, you know, the arms race
- 36:30Speaker 13: and things might be a bit embellished, but, yeah, I
- 36:33Speaker 13: don't know, man. It's like it's a big secret to
- 36:35Speaker 13: keep it. You think by now if it was a
- 36:38Speaker 13: big secret that somebody would have You know, proved it
- 36:41Speaker 13: one way or the other.
- 36:42Speaker 3: You're right.
- 36:43Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't know, mate. Yeah, I'm not sceptical.
- 36:46Speaker 1: I think it happened, yeah.
- 36:47Speaker 3: No, and you're right. And there's always going to be
- 36:50Speaker 3: conspiracies or people trying to create arguments around why something
- 36:54Speaker 3: isn't true. You see the most simple things that are
- 36:56Speaker 3: clearly factual and people say, you know, that's rubbish, whatever. Yeah, no,
- 37:00Speaker 3: I can see both sides, but I do really think
- 37:03Speaker 3: that I just cannot fathom the fact that we haven't
- 37:05Speaker 3: been back there if we could do it at that time.
- 37:07Speaker 3: I mean, do you remember? Well, you wouldn't remember, and
- 37:10Speaker 3: either would I, because we're too young. What was technology
- 37:13Speaker 3: like day to day? I mean, think about the advancements
- 37:17Speaker 3: now with AI.
- 37:17Speaker 2: They say now there is more computing power in our
- 37:20Speaker 2: iPhone than what sent people to the moon.
- 37:21Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Why haven't we been back? And don't tell me it's
- 37:24Speaker 3: expense because governments love spending money on useless crap. They're
- 37:29Speaker 3: so good at it.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Locking on the text line is a no for the
- 37:32Speaker 2: moon landing. So is another one. 015 says, no, if
- 37:36Speaker 2: they had done it once, why has it taken 70
- 37:38Speaker 2: years to head back? Craig, I think the moon landing
- 37:40Speaker 2: was a hoax done in a Hollywood studio. I agree
- 37:42Speaker 2: with it. Jeez, okay. The no's are starting to outweigh
- 37:45Speaker 2: the yes's here. Let's head to Michael from Roche Trevor
- 37:49Speaker 2: real quick before Tommy Wren. Morning, Michael. Oh, real quick.
- 37:53Speaker 1: God dang it.
- 37:55Speaker 6: Ned, you do chop and change your subjects a lot.
- 37:57Speaker 6: Your post-meetings, yes, you've got to stick to the subject
- 38:02Speaker 6: a little bit longer so when we call in, we
- 38:03Speaker 6: can talk about the same subject.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Oh, sorry, Michael.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Yeah, we like to keep it brief and keep it moving. But, yeah, Matt,
- 38:09Speaker 3: you and the content boss here at Nova, we could
- 38:11Speaker 3: all sit down as a triangle and go through it.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Okay, let's see.
- 38:16Speaker 6: Moon was a yes because the Russians obviously were trying
- 38:19Speaker 6: to get there first, and it was a good way
- 38:20Speaker 6: of boosting the feel-good factor for America.
- 38:23Speaker 13: Teller, it's saving.
- 38:25Speaker 6: Yes, keep it as it is. And don't listen to Trump.
- 38:29Speaker 7: Don't give him oxygen.
- 38:30Speaker 2: It wastes his time.
- 38:31Speaker 6: I mean, he's trying to distract us from what's happening
- 38:34Speaker 6: in Hamas, right?
- 38:36Speaker 1: What was the other one?
- 38:37Speaker 6: And Mark was quite right. It may have been yesterday's stories,
- 38:40Speaker 6: but we often don't get a chance to call in
- 38:42Speaker 6: and voice our opinion. And it's blowing a girl up
- 38:47Speaker 6: here in Turingi.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Well, Michael, don't try to get blown away, all right?
- 38:50Speaker 3: Yeah, look after yourself, Michael. You can always call in.
- 38:53Speaker 3: I can't remember too many times we have people call
- 38:55Speaker 3: in and we take them on.
- 38:57Speaker 2: 395 woke up to this crazy, who started this doubting
- 39:01Speaker 2: the moon thing? Didn't happen. I saw it about 12
- 39:03Speaker 2: years old. Australia was a big part of it. Please
- 39:06Speaker 2: tell me where this doubting started. I'm putting 395 down
- 39:09Speaker 2: for a yes. It happened.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Well, clearly, clearly, and that's okay.
- 39:13Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
- 39:14Speaker 3: I'm just saying there are counter-arguments as to why it
- 39:17Speaker 3: may possibly not have happened. Is everyone suggesting that everything
- 39:22Speaker 3: in life that we've been told as to be true
- 39:25Speaker 3: is true? Like, seriously.
- 39:27Speaker 2: 782 is Ned a flat earther as well?
- 39:29Speaker 3: Yes. No, Patrick. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Please don't be
- 39:35Speaker 3: lazy and label me as some conspiracist because that's lazy.
- 39:39Speaker 3: This is one thing that I've challenged.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Seriously.
- 39:43Speaker 3: I've had all my vaccinations.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Ten to six. Quick break. We'll round out with Tommy
- 39:47Speaker 2: Wren next.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Six to six on this Wednesday.
- 40:00Speaker 1: The latest in sports with Tom Wren.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Morning, Tommy.
- 40:04Speaker 7: Morning, boys.
- 40:04Speaker 3: Now, I'm loving all the conspiracy talk. I love a
- 40:06Speaker 3: good conspiracy. There was a bit going on in the 60s.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Everyone does.
- 40:09Speaker 3: The JFK stuff.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Who took him out?
- 40:12Speaker 3: Well, this is it.
- 40:13Speaker 2: CIA.
- 40:14Speaker 7: CIA.
- 40:14Speaker 1: The mob.
- 40:15Speaker 3: And why.
- 40:16Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
- 40:17Speaker 3: I mean, are we ever going to know?
- 40:19Speaker 2: Of course we won't.
- 40:21Speaker 3: But we could just go into that all day, couldn't we?
- 40:24Speaker 1: I love it.
- 40:25Speaker 3: I love it, boys. Let's talk some footy dough. Gee,
- 40:29Speaker 3: they got fired up yesterday, didn't Neil Balm? And I
- 40:31Speaker 3: love Neil Balm. I have so much respect for him.
- 40:34Speaker 3: But he got pretty agitated. He was on SEN yesterday
- 40:37Speaker 3: in Melbourne, and he was asked the question. Remember, there
- 40:39Speaker 3: was that speculation about him losing his job and what
- 40:42Speaker 3: might happen, et cetera, et cetera, and that it was
- 40:45Speaker 3: discussed that if they lost the first final, he was gone.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Matty Nix, that is.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Matty Nix. This was Balm's response on SEN.
- 40:52Speaker 7: That was disgraceful. That had never been discussed at board
- 40:56Speaker 7: level at all. He firstly says, whoever wrote it, I
- 40:59Speaker 7: won't even mention his name, that, oh, he got it
- 41:01Speaker 7: from the board. Well, he can't have, and he didn't.
- 41:03Speaker 7: And then he said, oh, I got it from the
- 41:04Speaker 7: footy department. Well, if he did, it's all made up.
- 41:07Speaker 7: Because it gets out there, there's no legs to it.
- 41:10Speaker 7: We hadn't discussed it at all. There was no thought
- 41:12Speaker 7: of any of that with us. Now, everyone knows that
- 41:15Speaker 7: eventually the coach has got to be challenged and he's
- 41:17Speaker 7: got to be judged and all that sort of stuff. Well,
- 41:19Speaker 7: that's constant. And Nicksy understands that, and he's with it.
- 41:22Speaker 7: But it certainly wasn't now. It wasn't related to whether
- 41:25Speaker 7: we win a final or not.
- 41:27Speaker 3: So that was that then. And I guess people are saying,
- 41:29Speaker 3: why didn't they come out at the time? I think
- 41:31Speaker 3: board members are perhaps bound. Barnum doesn't do that many
- 41:34Speaker 3: press conferences. And perhaps they just wanted to move on
- 41:38Speaker 3: with the business of football at the time. Listen, Rennie.
- 41:41Speaker 3: They could have, and the spokespeople who were trusted to
- 41:45Speaker 3: do media at that time, could have come out and
- 41:47Speaker 3: categorically said that that was factually untrue. And even if
- 41:50Speaker 3: they lost, Matthew Nix was their man and he would
- 41:52Speaker 3: see out the contract. They didn't. They had that opportunity. So, look,
- 41:56Speaker 3: the reports are the reports. I think there was a
- 41:58Speaker 3: truth to them in some capacity, maybe not completely true
- 42:03Speaker 3: in regards to where he sourced the information from or.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Whatever it was.
- 42:05Speaker 7: Yes, yep.
- 42:07Speaker 3: There is no doubt, if the Adelaide Crows lost that
- 42:10Speaker 3: first final against the Western Bulldogs at home, and looking back,
- 42:14Speaker 3: goodness me, they could have, Rennie. They certainly could have.
- 42:18Speaker 3: I think the coach would have been in trouble. And
- 42:20Speaker 3: I think there is some legitimacy to those reports. And
- 42:23Speaker 3: regardless of what happens from here, well... at the start
- 42:27Speaker 3: of next year, if they're struggling early season, Nick is
- 42:30Speaker 3: under the pump.
- 42:31Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 42:31Speaker 3: I think he's the most under pressure coach. Maybe Ross
- 42:34Speaker 3: Lyon's the only other one that's under more pressure. You
- 42:36Speaker 3: think Damien Hardwick as well or not? If Gold Coast
- 42:39Speaker 3: come out and lose the first four?
- 42:40Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 42:41Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe a bit of pressure there too.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Ross Lyon, though, seems to have this stranglehold on St Kilda.
- 42:46Speaker 3: I reckon that's just starting to work. I think finally,
- 42:50Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of pressure. If they don't
- 42:52Speaker 3: make top six next year, that was his talk at
- 42:54Speaker 3: the Best and Fairest. If they don't, you know, at
- 42:57Speaker 3: least make the top eight. I think he's in real trouble.
- 43:00Speaker 2: North Melbourne going for Jamie Graham, first time coach.
- 43:03Speaker 3: Really interesting. Great story. Been for a lot of jobs.
- 43:06Speaker 3: I like it. Seems to be full of energy. Who
- 43:09Speaker 3: knows until he starts coaching, but he spoke really well yesterday.
- 43:13Speaker 3: He's got a good list. I think they're pretty good,
- 43:15Speaker 3: North Melbourne. They did improve, and we spoke about that.
- 43:18Speaker 3: Was Clarkson treated a bit harshly? Well, they've moved on now,
- 43:22Speaker 3: but I'm really intrigued with North Melbourne and how they
- 43:24Speaker 3: go this season or next season. To give some context too,
- 43:27Speaker 3: in his interview, he spoke a lot about front half defence,
- 43:30Speaker 3: and that's a real fad in the AFL at the moment, Rennie.
- 43:33Speaker 3: It's like how many times can you turn the ball
- 43:35Speaker 3: over close to goal in your front half, and that
- 43:37Speaker 3: relates to... High pressure. Locking the ball in. Locking the
- 43:41Speaker 3: ball in. Repeat stoppages. Time in forward half as a
- 43:44Speaker 3: percentage is a KPI that's kind of being spoken about
- 43:47Speaker 3: a lot. So I think he's looked at the way
- 43:49Speaker 3: North Melbourne defended and gone, you know, hey, here's some
- 43:52Speaker 3: changes that we can make to help us in that sense.
- 43:54Speaker 3: He's shown that as part of his presentation, and that
- 43:56Speaker 3: was clearly one of the reasons as to why he
- 43:58Speaker 3: got the role.
- 43:59Speaker 2: I love it.
- 43:59Speaker 3: Good work, Ned. Just quickly, boys, as well, Alex Demonall,
- 44:02Speaker 3: for those wondering. lost the first set in the China
- 44:04Speaker 3: Open final against Novak Djokovic and then had to retire,
- 44:07Speaker 3: we think, a groin injury. So disappointing that he went
- 44:10Speaker 3: down there. And the 36ers, we'll talk about them tomorrow.
- 44:13Speaker 3: They play tonight at home. They've got this new player
- 44:16Speaker 3: from New Zealand, Corey Webster, who's going to be straight in.
- 44:19Speaker 3: So they've got that many issues at the moment, injury-wise.
- 44:22Speaker 3: They're only two and three. It's early in the season,
- 44:25Speaker 3: but this feels like a huge game tonight against Melbourne United.
- 44:28Speaker 3: A bit of a A bit of a sort of
- 44:30Speaker 3: fork in the road moment for their season. They need
- 44:33Speaker 3: to show up. Two bad losses over the weekend. For me,
- 44:37Speaker 3: this is the first real big test for Trevor Gleeson
- 44:40Speaker 3: as the coach.
- 44:40Speaker 2: So they're sitting at two and four right now.
- 44:42Speaker 3: I think two and three. Either way.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Two and three, sorry, yes, towards the bottom of the ladder.
- 44:48Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 44:49Speaker 3: They need a win. And against Melbourne United, who are stacked,
- 44:52Speaker 3: it'd be against the odds, but they need to show
- 44:55Speaker 3: a bit tonight, a bit of gumption.
- 44:56Speaker 2: They do. They do.
- 44:57Speaker 3: Great work, Rennie.
- 44:59Speaker 7: Good on you, boys.
- 44:59Speaker 3: So just to round out our Moon chat, we've got
- 45:01Speaker 3: like 15 seconds. I've just been looking at some lunar photos,
- 45:05Speaker 3: lunar samples, and NASA... retroflectors and different things like that.
- 45:10Speaker 3: There is, I must admit, there is a strong argument
- 45:12Speaker 3: that we did. I think we went, I think we went,
- 45:15Speaker 3: but I'm very disappointed that we haven't been back for
- 45:17Speaker 3: 70 years. So let's, let's do it. You want to
- 45:20Speaker 3: do it? Yeah, I want to do it.
- 45:21Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 45:22Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 45:22Speaker 3: Let's not build hospitals. Let's go to the moon. That'd
- 45:24Speaker 3: be great.
- 45:25Speaker 2: What a great idea.
- 45:26Speaker 3: We'll build a hospital on the moon.
- 45:27Speaker 2: Oh, there we go. That's some forward thinking. Tommy, thank you.
