• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Welcome along High Fivers to Early Breakfast for yet another week.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Going for a top of 19 degrees today with a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: possible shower. Not as much as we've had on the weekend, though.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Only about a mil around Adelaide. Tuesday, 20 degrees, partly cloudy. Wednesday, 21. Thursday, 25. Friday, 24.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Currently 7.9 here in the city. And looking back over
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the weekend, we've had around about... 18 to 19 mils
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of rain. The average for October in Adelaide is 43.9.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: So we're currently sitting at around about 29 mils of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: rain for October so far. So Saturday was the wettest
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: one we had. How did you survive? Did you get
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a bit of rain in your area? 8223 0000. Morning, Ned.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Morning, Sammy. Morning, high-fivers. Now, what are you saying? In Adelaide,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: we had 18 mils.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Well, that's ridiculous because most regions had a lot more
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: than that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: This is in the West Terrace Gauge.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, the West Terrace Gauge might still have a
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: lid on it because we got about 40 mil out
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: where we are towards Manum and Palmer. I know some
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: other areas got even more. The Eyre Peninsula got drenched.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Did you see the rain belts coming? Did you see
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: them coming?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I was on Eyre Saturday. I rocked up here at
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: about 10 o'clock. Sunny. Beautiful conditions. I headed to the mall,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: grabbed some lunch.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Beautiful.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: By midday, it was dark, gloomy. pouring down with rain,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and then I had the radar up, and it was
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: about two or three bands coming across from Streaky Bay
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and Lincoln, and it just came in waves.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was coming from the northwest, travelling towards the southeast,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and there were several bands that just came and went bang.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And the north of our state continued to get rain.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what it is about 2026. There's a
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: wet one. But the north of our state. has been
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: absolutely drenched. So, well done to all of those that
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: wanted the rain. I don't think many would have, unless
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: they're running grazing properties purely, but Um, still, still good
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: to have it nonetheless after a few, uh, challenging years.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Mandy and the Blue Brothers always up and about kicking
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: us off for another week on the text line 0448081395.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Ned and Sam. I hope you both had
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a great weekend. Have a great show. Mandy and those
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Blue Brothers.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Mandy, um, wonderful to hear, uh, hear from you this morning.

  Speaker 3: In dog language for any human listeners, that is, hello,

  Speaker 3: Blue Brothers, what did you two get up to on
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the weekend? So, Mandy, if you need to relay that
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to them, please do so and get back to us.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Like everyone on the text line or on the call line,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: calls are preferred, 8223 0000. We're a talkback radio station,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: unlike those other DJ playing kind of FM lunatics over there.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Now, you mentioned the rain.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: You mentioned the rain, Sammy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Wild weather battered South Australia, really, didn't it, over the weekend?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You mentioned only 18 mils in the city. There was
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: areas in our regions that got a lot more than that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and there were gusts of wind up to 100 kilometres
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: in some areas. A large tree branch dropped on a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: poor Adelaide resident's car outside of an Adelaide cafe. Did
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: you see that?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I saw the photos on social media. Oh, yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Are they Adelaide's unluckiest person or not? Seriously.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: You couldn't pick a, I mean, you don't have to
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: be dead to be stiff. I mean, that is unlucky
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: to park your car out the front of an Adelaide
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: cafe and have a branch land on it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, goodness gracious me.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Got any trees in your area that are dodgy? We
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: grew up. In the western suburbs, there's always a tree
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in our backyard. When the wind whipped up, I always
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: worried about it. They ended up chopping it down before
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: anything happened. But how many times? And then when you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in a whole street and one tree falls down and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: it falls onto your car. Yeah, you're right. You have
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to be one of the most unluckiest people.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: A resident on my street in Unley, two doors down
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: from us, they had a large tree fall on their house.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I know. I know.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: And the council wonders why I want to pull the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: trees out the front of mine. I tell you what,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: they've planted them. They're not growing very well. No, they're
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: growing beautifully. Only joking. Goodness me. I actually put extra
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: water on them just to help the council's efforts to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: put those big gum trees in front of my house.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Is that on the verge?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: How cluttered my gutters can get.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Is that on the verge? The nature strip out the front?
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: This is just reminding me. I headed down to my
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: parents on the weekend too because they're still away for
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: another week. And I don't know what it is with
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the Charles Sturt Council, but every year, every year at
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: this time of year, when the weather's warming up, the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: rainfall's coming, the verges in the Charles Sturt area... It's
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: like a jungle.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: They're knee high down Port Road. And you'd think that
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it happens every single year. And I remember talking about
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: this at this time.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: You're talking about the grass?
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: The grass verges, the grass nature strips out the front
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of properties. It is like a jungle. Who looks after
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: their nature strip, their verge?
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Do you mow it? Do you plant extra plants in it?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Or do you think, no, that's the council's responsibility. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: pay for the council fees. They need to take care
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Interesting discussions. Sammy, it is the landowner's responsibility to mow
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: their own nature strip.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Is this a real responsibility or just a social responsibility?
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of both.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: But I think mainly it is the landowner's responsibility or
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: even the tenant. You have a duty to make sure
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: your home looks presentable. to do your bit in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: local community okay it's not up to council to come
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and mow your nature strip they will do all of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the the strips between major roads and infrastructure no doubt
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: so if you're driving down a freeway it's not up
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to you to pull over and to get your mower
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: out and do that. The council will do that. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: out the front of your home, you need to keep
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: that tidy. It is also not up to you, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to Grandma McHenry here, to plant things on
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the nature strip.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: That is not your area to plant.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: What if it's looking really terrible?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Well, if it's grass, it's grass, and that's what it is.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: The council, that's their job. I mean, my grandma's got
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: more agapanthus in her nature strip than we know what
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: to do with.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Well, let's break this down. So it's the council's responsibility
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to plant whatever is in the nature strip.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You don't own the nature strip.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So then it's your responsibility to keep it looking tidy?
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 6:46
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: It's just one of those things, Sammy.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000. Do you agree with Ned? Yes or no?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Do you take care of your nature strip?
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I like it. I like it. I think that's an
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: interesting discussion. I think our listeners would agree with me
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: that it is your duty if you live there just
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to make sure it's neat and tidy and you hope
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the neighbours do the same. Just back on that tree
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: branch for me, Sammy, Adelaide's unluckiest person. Has anyone had
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: something really unlucky happen to them? Who's Adelaide's most unlucky person?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: What's something that happened to you where you just went,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: gee whiz?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So we're finding the unluckiest high fiver.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who had an unlucky moment where they were just
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: looking around going, why me, folks? I mean, a tree
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: branch falling on your car out the front of a cafe.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: That is just ridiculous. Does anyone have a story this
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: morning at 5.11 that can top that one?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: If you can, the most unlucky is Ty Fiverr. Let's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: just give away Pepper's Truck Wash Pack.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Pepper's Truck Wash Pack.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's just do it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, how good are their cleaning products?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Pepper's Truck Wash, we love them. Lester at Semaphore Park
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: has called in. Good morning, Lester.
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: Once you offer private property, it is the council's responsibility
• 7:55
  Speaker 12: to make sure the verge is clear of rubbish and plants.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So you don't think it's the homeowner's duty to make
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: sure it's mowed and looks presentable?
• 8:05
  Speaker 12: No, they're interfering with council property.
• 8:08
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, Lester. We'll do a bit of a poll.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Lester's pretty adamant on that. Not your responsibility. It's the council.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the council. Yeah, okay. Well, what's the actual... Literature
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: We'll have to look in the outbreak.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we will look in the outbreak. I still feel
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: it's just a duty of the homeowner to make sure
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: it looks tidy. John, at Port Augusta, what's the rules
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: out there at Port Augusta, my friend?
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: Don't know, mate.
• 8:33
  Speaker 12: I plead ignorant.
• 8:35
  Speaker 11: I was down in your fair city yesterday, as I
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: told you, Blake.
• 8:41
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, how'd you go, John?
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: Yes, I was down there last week, yesterday, so.
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: It's a nice town, the ladies, isn't it? It's a
• 8:48
  Speaker 12: very nice town.
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: I was just to clear, just to get up for
• 8:54
  Speaker 11: the day with my sister, my niece, my nephew and
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: my great-niece. It's great to see those guys. Even though
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: they aren't predominantly growth supporters, I'm trying to... It's not
• 9:06
  Speaker 11: very good. But I had a bit of a blue
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: with Sheila George on Saturday morning.
• 9:10
  Speaker 12: You hear that, Ned?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: KG and Johnny from Port Augusta went toe-to-toe.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, dear.
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: I didn't hear it.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: What happened?
• 9:19
  Speaker 11: Well, KK, I mean, I thought I caught him red-handed
• 9:24
  Speaker 11: having his double standards. He says he doesn't talk about
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: the crows anymore than he talks about port. He raised
• 9:30
  Speaker 11: the crows again. He talks about the crows, but he
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: doesn't know he's talking about the crows.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: And I said that to him, and he flipped the lid,
• 9:38
  Speaker 11: and then I said, and he warned the lady first.
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: for saying a bit of a naughty word earlier on
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: in the show, and I said, Rick Davies, the big
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: jumbo prince from Sturt and Hawthorne comes on every time
• 9:50
  Speaker 11: and drops a magic word, not necessarily a magic word,
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: but a few words and swear words and whatever else,
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: and goodness knows what, and he flipped the lid again.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, dear.
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, a little bit of double standards. That's all right
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: for the big wigs to swear, but us general mug
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: plebs cannot swear on here. I thought it was double standards.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, John, thank you for that rant, and good morning.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Not a heap of info regarding the nature.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Strip mowing, but still. No, but anyway.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Well, you can call up about anything.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: True.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: We'll take your call if you want to talk about
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: mice or cars or whatever.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Any random subject. Chris, it's Sari Downs.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: Good morning.
• 10:31
  Speaker 14: Hello.
• 10:31
  Speaker 13: Talking about Birch. Yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: What do you think?
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: Right down that street, and it's all around where I live,
• 10:39
  Speaker 13: they've got council come by and put these bloody great
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: big trees right on the edge. Now, when they get
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: leaves on them, the leaves go everywhere. And when they
• 10:52
  Speaker 13: fall down, they go onto the gutter and the people's houses,
• 10:56
  Speaker 13: mine inclusive. They go everywhere. Now, we've gone down to
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: the council and said, look, these trees are on the verge.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: You put them in there. We didn't. You come by
• 11:08
  Speaker 13: and take the leaves away. And they said, oh, no,
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: we can't do that. What we'll do is we'll supply
• 11:12
  Speaker 13: you with an extra bin. And you can just sweep
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: them up and put them in there and they will
• 11:17
  Speaker 13: send a rubbish thing around to get rid of them
• 11:22
  Speaker 13: for you.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: It's a fine line though, Chris, isn't it? Because in Adelaide,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: we have some beautiful tree-lined streets and we don't want
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: this place looking like a desert. However, the repercussions with
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: leaves dropping is significant.
• 11:35
  Speaker 13: Oh, definitely. The thing is, it's not just my place,
• 11:39
  Speaker 13: it's everyone. And the neighbours across the road, he's got
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: a bigger... more leaves on the thing, and that all
• 11:45
  Speaker 13: blows across onto my place. The neighbour alongside, he has
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: the same problem with his leaves. Everyone down the street
• 11:53
  Speaker 13: has got it. And when you go, like I said,
• 11:56
  Speaker 13: when you go down to the council and say, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 13: come by and sweep them up, oh, we can't do that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 13: It's going to cost us more money. We'll just drop
• 12:03
  Speaker 13: these bins in and you can do it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: So, Chris, whose responsibility is it to mow the verge
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: or the nature strip?
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: Well, technically, everybody mows the verge, right? We don't mind that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: But at the same token, because it's on council property,
• 12:23
  Speaker 13: the council should come by and mow it. It's all
• 12:26
  Speaker 13: right for them to come by and stick everything like
• 12:28
  Speaker 13: this in there, but they're not coming by and looking
• 12:32
  Speaker 13: after it. Hmm.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting debate. Thanks for your call, Chris.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Some great stuff in there.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Rob on the text line, excellent point as well. If
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: your neighbour's nature strip has a section that runs off
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: to yours, so think of one long nature strip out
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: in front of two properties and there's no divider. Do
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: you leave a sharp line or do you mow the
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: entire nature strip? What do you do?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Unless you're in an argument, Rob, you do not leave
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: a sharp line under any circumstances. That is not play on.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: It doesn't pass the pub test. It's not cricket if
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: you do that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Mark in Parra Hills had a tree fall on my
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: car years ago, birdbath on top of it. Mow my verge.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I'm the only one on the street that does. Mark
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: from Parra Hills.
• 13:13
  Speaker 13: Goodness.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: You certainly can't... You certainly can't... plant anything in your verge,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: can you? That is illegal?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: People are doing it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: What happens if you've got a verge that is just
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: dirt and the council has done nothing with it?
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: There's so many factors to take into account, Ned.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: There is, and a lot of our high-fiving legends, I think,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: want their home or where they live, whether they own
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: it or rent it or whatever, to look nice and
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: tidy and presentable.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: It's just a basic fact of life.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: You want to be proud of the space that you
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: live in, and if that means that you've got to
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: go the extra mile and perhaps put some lawn seed
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: down and do some watering to make sure your verge
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: looks nice, I think that's something our high-fivers would do.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think they'd sit around you know, sucking their thumb,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: waiting for council to come and do it. You'd be
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: sitting there for a while. Julia, T3 Gully from JMS
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Rural Fencing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: Hello.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: Good morning. Anne Park.
• 14:10
  Speaker 15: I also, we don't want the bird here because it's
• 14:11
  Speaker 15: gravelly stuff, but My sister lives on a, at Marin,
• 14:26
  Speaker 15: and she's got, lives on a corner, and her verge,
• 14:29
  Speaker 15: her garden and her verge is absolutely beautiful. She dug
• 14:32
  Speaker 15: it up herself, and they just planted all these plants,
• 14:37
  Speaker 15: and it's.
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: Fabulous.
• 14:40
  Speaker 15: It looks gorgeous. The other side is lawn, and she
• 14:46
  Speaker 15: actually bought a lawnmower two months ago, and she's got
• 14:50
  Speaker 15: a Her yard and her house is garden as well.
• 14:55
  Speaker 15: And it looks great, but it's.
• 14:57
  Speaker 13: Up to her to look after it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 15: It's not the council.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: So if you had your way, Julie, you would say
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: that people can put whatever they want in the verge
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: as long as they maintain it appropriately.
• 15:09
  Speaker 15: Yeah, as long as it looks nice.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's quite subjective, isn't it? I mean, that's
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 15:16
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, she's done it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: It looks good.
• 15:18
  Speaker 15: And she's had lots of comments about the garden from
• 15:22
  Speaker 15: around the neighbours and nobody else. But she's chosen to
• 15:26
  Speaker 15: do that. And it looks lovely.
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: But I don't know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: I've got.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: But.
• 15:35
  Speaker 15: Speaking of unlucky, I have to say I'm very lucky.
• 15:38
  Speaker 15: I reckon I'm very lucky.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Haven't had anything like a tree branch fall on you
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: outside of a cafe?
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 15: That's pretty awful.
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 15:51
  Speaker 15: The closest thing I've had to being unlucky, I reckon,
• 15:55
  Speaker 15: was we were at... When I lived up at Gould
• 15:58
  Speaker 15: Creek and lightning struck one of the gum trees.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, yep.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: And.
• 16:06
  Speaker 15: That could have been a very unlucky experience, but made
• 16:09
  Speaker 15: a mess of the tree.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: Definitely.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Julie, from Teat Tree Gully. We'll keep the
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: calls humming along. Raymond at Salisbury Plains. Hello, Raymond.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Good morning, boys.
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: How are we, Adelaide?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: How's everybody on Monday morning?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: We're getting there, Ray.
• 16:25
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I hear you, man. I hear you. Hey, Eddie,
• 16:30
  Speaker 14: how was the boat show? Did you go?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I was there Sunday. A few smiling faces rolling through there, Raymond.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I thought the crowd was pretty good, actually.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, did you?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Did you pop in?
• 16:41
  Speaker 14: No, mate. No, I'm a bit too tight to be
• 16:42
  Speaker 14: phoned about.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I like it. What did you do on the weekend?
• 16:47
  Speaker 14: It wasn't like fishing, mate, so just odd jobs around
• 16:49
  Speaker 14: the house. But that leads me to talking about the verge,
• 16:52
  Speaker 14: which is what you were discussing today. We're lucky here
• 16:55
  Speaker 14: in Salisbury. The council will actually come and mow the verges.
• 16:59
  Speaker 14: Not too regularly, but they will come and do it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: And I'm lucky in the sense that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: I'm a bit of a lawnie.
• 17:08
  Speaker 14: So, you know, my lawn looks pretty good this time
• 17:10
  Speaker 14: of the year. The boys are clever enough to.
• 17:16
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: That must be a real feather in your cap, the
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: fact your lawn looks good enough that they're actually avoiding it,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: not to mess with it.
• 17:26
  Speaker 14: Well, yeah, I don't know about fitting the cap, but
• 17:29
  Speaker 14: I'm certainly appreciative because, yeah, we're surrounded by the odd
• 17:33
  Speaker 14: rental here. So you can imagine what the lawns look
• 17:35
  Speaker 14: like and weeds get pretty high and whatnot. So, yeah,
• 17:39
  Speaker 14: the boys are clever enough that when they come through
• 17:41
  Speaker 14: with the machine to do the verges, you can actually
• 17:44
  Speaker 14: see where they've bypassed my house so that they don't
• 17:46
  Speaker 14: put the weeds into my lawn. So, yeah, pretty good.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Nice work, Raymond. Congratulations on that lawn. Some good points.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Well done, Raymond.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Adelaide 4x4 show. Did anyone go? I did go. I
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: was there on Sunday. It was nice. Not sure I'd
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: want to be there for the whole weekend, but it
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: was good. I liked it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: 22 after five here on your Monday morning. 8223 0000.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: What have you been unlucky? What is the rules and
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: regulations around the council verge? Are you mowing it? Are
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you leaving it to the council or are you shushing
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: it up yourself. Jump on the phones. 8223 0000. Pepper's
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Truck Wash. Pack to get away before six.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: 25 after 5 on this Monday morning. Jeez, this text
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: here has taken it to another level from our Verge chat,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: 192 on the text line. We live on a corner
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: with a roundabout. We look after the lawn and the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: plants on the Verge, and my wife has planted flowers
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: on the roundabout.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: The council workers leave both alone for us to maintain.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Grant.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Wow, so the council have granted your ability.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: To do that?
• 18:57
  Speaker 16: Do you get it?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. You're funny, Ned.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Grant, wow, nice work. People like you make spaces look better,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: and I'm happy the council are just letting you do
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: your thing along with your wonderful wife, so thanks for that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: That's a great story. Does anyone work at a council
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: that can call up? Now, I'm assuming they can't because
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing they have to.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: We can give them anonymity.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: And give them a false name.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: A false name. Well, they'd have to go through some
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: process of going on the media and talking, I'm sure.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: But I'd love someone from council to text in and
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: just explain, how does it work? How are you distributed
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: out to go and mow things?
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to know the routine and the calendar.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Because as I said, the Charles Sturt Council area, once
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: we get the spring, once there's a bit of sun around,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: it's always, especially down Port Road and the back streets
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: around Albert Park, it is... knee high with just weeds
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: and grass.
• 19:52
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Looks terrible. Pat on the text line as well, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: thought this was part of your council right for them
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to mow the verge. Well, it would be, but they
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: just don't do it enough when it needs to be done. Mm-hmm.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, someone from council, let us know how that works.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, you clearly don't rock up to work and go,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: what do I feel like doing today?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: What area are we mowing? There's a structure.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Around it, but what does that look like? And what takes.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Priority?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sure if there's an incident or something urgent, that
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: probably needs to get done first, which is fine. If
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: you're just joining us, we're talking about Adelaide's unluckiest person.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Have you had something that's been unlucky happen to you?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: That's off the back of an Adelaide resident having a
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: tree fall fall on their car outside an Adelaide cafe.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And Sammy brought up a great discussion about verges. Is
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: it up to the homeowner or the council to mow
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: your verge? Who mows their own verge? Or have you
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: planted something on your own verge? What's the etiquette with that?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Nettie, do you believe in UFOs and aliens?
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Sam, Sam, Sam, it's as if you're trying to get
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: us kicked off this show.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: No.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Last time we spoke about conspiracies, I got in trouble.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: No, no, UFOs, that's fine. Do you think there are
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: other beings out there in the Milky Way and further?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: In the Milky Way? Good job on that. I think
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: everything I read and listen to suggests that you'd be
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: naive to think there isn't some form of other life.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Well, a pilot in the UK over the weekend had
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: some trouble.
• 21:20
  Speaker 16: One British pilot said it was an out-of-this-world experience which
• 21:24
  Speaker 16: caused a near-miss mid-air. Shortly after take-off from London's busiest airport,
• 21:29
  Speaker 16: he says the British Airways flight bound for New York
• 21:32
  Speaker 16: encountered a UFO the size of four toasters. The drone
• 21:36
  Speaker 16: flying in the opposite direction, about 50 feet above the
• 21:39
  Speaker 16: plane's wing. The incident has been classed as an unknown
• 21:43
  Speaker 16: object with nothing matching the description of the shiny silver object.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Now, that's audio thanks to Sunrise. I love how we
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: use different terms of measurement. However, I can't tell you
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I've heard the old, it was the size of four toasters.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: So are we talking a two-slice toaster, a four-slice toaster?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: What are we talking about here?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: That's the first thing I thought of there. Why was
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: the toaster used as the unit of measurement? I've never.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: That's like saying, yeah, it's hilarious. How big's your dog?
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Probably three toasters if you put them all together. Funny.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, what's this guy talking about? If he hasn't
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: got video proof, you can't say it. If you haven't
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: got video proof.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Of a UFO sighting, do not say that you saw one.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Has anyone seen a UFO? 8223 0000?
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Unit of measurements, though. The easiest and the go-to one
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: for a liquid would be how many Olympic-sized swimming pools
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: How often would you use that, is it?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I remember when people tried to explain how much water
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: is in Sydney Harbour, it's so many Olympic-sized swimming pools.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's a niche discussion.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: It is. We've had it on Brekkie before. Really? But
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: units of measurement. Anything odd you're using on the farm?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: The size of toasters?
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: No, not really. I don't think anything. Well, we have
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: some listeners, Sammy, who are older than us, which we
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: love because we learn lots. They work in inches.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't work in inches.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Rainfall's still in inches. Some people prefer that.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I prefer millimetres, but a lot of people talk
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: in inches. How much are you getting, Eddie? Two and
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: a half inches? I'm not sure.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: But whenever there's a discussion of inches, I'll use my fingers. Oh,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: that'd be about an inch. That's about two inches.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Or fathoms.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: In fishing.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: And people who enjoy sailing and... And getting out on
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the water, a lot of people speak in fathoms.
• 23:33
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: And I'm not familiar with fathoms.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: What is the normal unit of measurement on the water?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Just meters?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I use meters. A lot of people use feet
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: or fathoms.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: A lot of people use fathoms, Sammy. I can't fathom it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I use feet a lot because of my time being
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: a pilot.
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: So height in the air, if someone says 3,000 metres,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I cannot compute what that means. But if they said
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: 9,000 feet, I know exactly what that means.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I was down at Adelaide Biplanes. Do you know Adelaide
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Biplanes down there at the Aldinga airstrip?
• 24:04
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I was down there yesterday. It was quite cool. A
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: lot of history in those hangars, some old planes from
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: World War II.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Do they still fly out there?
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Have you jumped in one?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: No.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: But excellent if someone wants to check that out. Sammy,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: you spoke about verge etiquette, which I enjoyed and I
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: think the listeners got into. I want to talk about
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: another form of etiquette. When you go into a home,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: what's the expectation with taking your shoes off?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is an excellent chat.
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: No, seriously.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: This is good.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: How do you know whether to take your shoes off
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: or not? How do you read the cues on that?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Is it standard?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Standard.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Is it one size fits all if you go into
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: someone's house, you take your shoes off?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's standard, but I could be wrong.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So whenever I go into a place where it's shoes off,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I'm always feeling a bit, oh, okay, then it's got
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: to get the shoes off. I would say if there's
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: a pile of shoes at the door, just on the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: inside of the door, chances are it's a shoes off place.
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: But I only know of maybe one or two places
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: in my friends and family circle that it's shoes off.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: You?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I think I'm more shoes off than shoes on.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Is that because you're always muddying on the farm?
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, usually my shoes are horrific.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Often I will come up the elevator of the 5AA
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: building and the shoes will have to live on the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: balcony while I cruise around in socks. But I think
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: for the most part, every house that I go to,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: it's shoes off.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's shoes off most of the time. If
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: you go into someone else's house, I think you need
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: to take your shoes off unless they say, no, no, no,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: keep your shoes on if you like.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I think your first point of call should be- Shoes off, interesting.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Asking for the shoes off. or just taking them off
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: and then the host will guide you.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: What do you think?
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: 8223 0000. If someone comes to your home, do you
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: request that the shoes come off or do you just
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: hope they do or do you have no problem with it?
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Do you take your own shoes off when you get home?
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: What do you do, folks? Text line lit up very quickly. Jack,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you take your shoes off if you think your shoes
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: are dirty. Mandy, if there are shoes at the door,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I always ask. Rob, to take your shoes off, your
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: nose will guide you. Meaning, if you've been on the phone,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: they stink, take them off.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I like it, Rob.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Let's head up to Mylaw. Sue, good morning.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: Good morning. I always take my shoes off at home.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: I never take my outside shoes inside, just me. But
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: if I go to someone's place.
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: I'll ask.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: Just polite.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: Is it okay? Do you want me to take my
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: shoes off? And they'll let you know if it's all
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: right or not. But at home, always, never. I never
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: go inside with outside shoes.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: It's just the way it's been. You know, especially with
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: things like bird flu and stuff, I find, you know,
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: it's better policy. And my shoes get grubby around here anyway,
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: so who wants to march around the house in work boots?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Is it more of a country people type thing, shoes off?
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: I think so.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we know what we've walked through.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: You know, I don't have expensive carpets, but, yeah. But
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: I was actually ringing about UFOs. I had a really
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: amazing encounter. It would be a few years ago now. Now,
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: let me add that I don't drink. I was completely sober.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: It was about, I don't know, 9 o'clock at night.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: And on my own, I looked out the window and
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: I saw a light, like a pulsing light coming towards me,
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: towards the house. It was probably, if you see a
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: plane coming in and you see the light, it's probably
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: about 10 times that size. And I thought, that's unusual.
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: And then I noticed it was, there was another four
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: of them in a line with her. So there's four
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: of these big pulsing lights. They were like orange. And they,
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: so I went outside with the camera and there was
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: six of them in the end stretched across in a line.
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: and I watched them for about half an hour, and
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: they maneuvered into different, they were sort of crossing a line,
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: and then they were vertical in a line, and they
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: formed a circle, and then they moved away and came
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: back really quickly, and at no time was there any sound,
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: and then they hovered for quite a while. Now, I'm
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: used to helicopters. These are not helicopters, believe me. They
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: hovered around. And they stayed for about 45 minutes and
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: then two shot off in one direction and the other
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: lot shot off in the opposite direction and they came back.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: And then they just formed another line and went off
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: into the east. So it was really interesting.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Mylaw was the spot of landing.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Rob wants to know, Sue, how many toasters big were
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: the drones you saw?
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, these were a lot of toasts. This would have
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: been a lot of toasts. They were quite big.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: And, you know, I think if we think we're so
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: special that we're the only ones in this vast universe,
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: then we're pretty naive.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: No, we are.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: I mean, we're not that special.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Sue. Happy Monday. Thanks for your call and
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: your UFO recollection. Russell at Blake's Crossing. Good morning to you, Russell.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: Good morning.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: James.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: How are we?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think you've ever called this program before.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: No, I've called the other ones.
• 29:45
  Speaker 15: I'm just on the way to the office.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Got a new high-fiver.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: A new high-fiving legend.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Welcome, Russell.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Welcome.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Yes, I'm a high-five virgin, so thank you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind?
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: Hey, Rick.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I'm ringing about the shoes.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I have two things, two ways in my house.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: If I let you into the garage where it's carpeted,
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: you take your shoes off.
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: If I open the front door.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: You leave them on.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: So you're explaining that, though, to your guests, Russell?
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: No, they know.
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: They know.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Because as you walk in the garage where I've got
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: a carpet with cars, you can see everybody.
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: Takes their shoes off, my girls and all that, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: on the front, if you're coming through the front door,
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: your shoes, but then both of my friends think it
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: tells me where they are on the picking order.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: So how often are you letting people in through the
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: garage versus the front door though, Ross?
• 30:33
  Speaker 12: Quite regularly.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's, So what?
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: I just think it's more eye-opening and it's more friendly.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: They come in that way and it's like, you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: they're part of the family.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, I like that, Russell.
• 30:42
  Speaker 15: That's nice.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: That's interesting. So, yeah, we're talking about your shoes on
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: or off when being welcomed into a home. What do
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: you do, folks? Do you make the decision yourself to
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: take them off until told no, you can leave them on,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: or is that outdated etiquette? I'm not sure. I think
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: it would be more.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: That our listeners take their shoes off when visiting a home.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Or even so, more likely, Sammy, that when you have
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: guests over, you ask them to take their shoes off.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Julian Blakeview, what do you do out there?
• 31:14
  Speaker 15: Good morning, boys. No, I don't believe in taking your
• 31:17
  Speaker 15: shoes off.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: I think, obviously, if you've walked in a mud heap
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: or your shoes are excessively dirty... You wouldn't go into
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: somebody's house.
• 31:28
  Speaker 15: Obviously, you would take them off.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: And I was thinking maybe Sue up at Milo.
• 31:34
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Sue. Oh, good morning, Grandma McHenry.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: I forgot that. Maybe they were hovering for so long, Sue,
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: they were deciding whether they'd take their shoes off.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, very good, Julie.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Well done, Julie. Very good. Dave in Redwood Park, good morning.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: You take your shoes off, my dear old nun. God
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: bless her. She'd never forgive me if I didn't take
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: my shoes off. I'm going on my way now. I
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: feel too ill, so I am cleaning 24 IOUs. I'll
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: actually have my shoes off, but what I do is
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: I buy a new pair of volleys just to put
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: on slip on brand new, because I have to climb
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: up some steps to clean some windows in most of
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: the apartments. But I slip my shoes off every time,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: and I tell my customers that as well. You can
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: buy covers, but you'd look a bit daft, wouldn't you? Yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: a barbecue and putting covers on your feet, wouldn't you? But, yeah,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: take your shoes off every time.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice, Dave. I'm in that frame of mind too.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I'm a shoe-taker-offerer when I go to someone else's home.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Unless strictly told to take my shoes– sorry, to put
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: my shoes back on, in which I will then resist
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: and say, look, I'm happy to take them off. I
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: think it's best practice here. And hopefully my socks don't
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: stink too much, Sammy.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: 20 minutes to 6, 8223 0000. Keep the conversation going.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Tommy Wren, though, he's back from a few days off.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: He'll be back on deck after the break to talk
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: about the latest in sport over the weekend. 16-6 on
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: this Monday, going for a top of 19 degrees with
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: a possible shower. Currently 8.9 degrees in the city, but
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: it's been a long few days. We can welcome this
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: man back. The latest in sports with Tom Renn. Tommy
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Renn's back.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Morning, Sammy.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Morning, Ned.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: How have you been, boys? Rennie, we've missed you. Likewise.
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: I've missed you too, boys. It's good to be back, though,
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: in the fold again, ready to go.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Now, we're not getting to sport until we talk about
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: some of the other things we've spoken about.
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Before those topics, though, has the crow stolen any meat lately?
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: No.
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: The crow, it was in the bin, though, the other
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: day because our bin was overflowing, so it was picking
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: it there.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: The same crow?
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It has to be.
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be. It's a residual crow.
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: It's just territorial.
• 33:51
  Speaker 15: Extraordinary.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: And when you go to someone's house, do you take
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: your shoes off or do you ask guests to take
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: their shoes off when they come to yours?
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: When they come in, no, I don't ask them to.
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: Take their shoes off, no.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Do you appreciate it, though?
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess if they do take them off, then yeah.
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: Not too bothered by it, though.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Are you a shoes-off family, the Wrens?
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll take my shoes off once I get inside, generally,
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: but there's no hard and fast rule.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Like it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: You?
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a shoes-offerer. I'm going to leave the shoes
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: at the front door, whether I'm getting home or going
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: to someone else's house.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: And are you a believer that if you put shoes
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: on the bench, it's bad luck?
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: New shoes.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: New shoes. You can't put new shoes on the table.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Mum will throw them at me if I do that.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: She'll not like it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: That's a silly superstition, isn't it?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: But I still follow it. She follows it. I follow
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: it too. I bought new shoes on the weekend for
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: an event coming up and they're on the ground. in
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: the box still. They're not going on a table.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, after, Rennie, we can continue with that conversation.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: But let's talk some sport, Rennie. What's going on?
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: Well, there's a bit of a sort of mishmash of
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: sport going on at the moment. So the Crows women
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: and Port women, mixed results over the weekend, one game
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: to go. It's unlikely they'll make finals, which is disappointing
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: for both clubs. Port had a win, but they're a
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: game and percentage outside.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: The Crows lost.
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: They're a game and percentage outside. Outside, and there's only
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: one game to play, so they need Hawthorne to lose
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: and both to win next week for one of them
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: to potentially snag eighth spot. Phillip Island, not a great
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: way for things to finish up there. So, of course,
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: the MotoGP is coming to Adelaide, and the last one,
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: and they had to call it off.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Rained out.
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: Rained out. So the conditions were appalling, a lot of
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: people unhappy, because.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I think, Tell you what, though, the weather yesterday was
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: good for a MotoGP event, so we can quite aptly
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: run it here. We'll be fine. Exactly.
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: We had a bit of rain, but it wasn't as
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: biblical as it was over in Victoria. But I think
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: the issue was obviously the rain, Sammy, but the helicopter,
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: the rescue helicopter, which– you know, needs to be on
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: hand in case there is a serious accident, which there
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: probably could be in conditions like that, there was no visibility.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: So they couldn't get in the air if anything did happen.
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: They'd be liable for something happening and it would have been.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly. That's the rules of the FIA. If you can't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: get an emergency evac through a helicopter, the race can't
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: go on.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Makes sense.
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: So disappointing for all the fans. But, yeah, not a
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: great way for Phillip Island lovers. And there are a
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: lot of them. I think Casey Stoner and Mick Doohan
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: have been defending it pretty hard, haven't they?
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: They have.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: They'll change their tune, though, once they get here.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: You think? You think once you see the place packed.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: And we're going to go. It's what Adelaide does. We
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: go to events. It's going to be in the city. And, yes,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I think Phillip Island is the greatest permanent raceway, racetrack
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: in the country that we have. It is amazing.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: It's picturesque.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: It's got undulation. It's got fast-flowing corners. Yeah. But, again,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: we've spoken about it multiple times. They won a city race.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: That's why we're doing it. So it's going to be interesting.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: It'll be. This time next year, it's going to be
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: very interesting, Tommy.
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: And like you said, Sammy, we're not going to get
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: rained out, which just doesn't happen here, particularly that time
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: of year. Not a good start for Adelaide United. They
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: won the love at halftime against Sydney FC. They went
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: down to one. The 36ers lost. So got some bad
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: news coming back locally.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: And there's some more bad news because in the supercars
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: on the weekend, fighting contender, Kai Allen, in the final series.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: He was knocked out. Brock Feeney won on the weekend.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: Will be his 33rd and best of his career.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: It's home, sweet home.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: Brock Feeney is the Sunday winner at Surfer's Paradise. He
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: punches his ticket to the next round of finals, but
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: he wins at home, and that is an awesome performance.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: So Kyle and Woody and Jack LeBrock have been all
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: knocked out. A lot of controversial circumstances as well in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: that last race because we know the final series, you
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: get eliminated per race. Team orders within a team are
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: allowed now in supercars, and you saw that with Chas Mostert.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: He had to drop back 10 seconds to let his
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: teammate Ryan Wood in front to try and get him
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: through to the next round of the finals. Chas was
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: not too pleased about that. However, then Anton Di Pasquale
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: was in 17th. He needed to be 15th to then
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: jump over Ryan Wood. He was in a Chevy, Chas
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: and Ryan are in Toyotas. Two Chevrolet Camaros in the
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: top 10 pitted with about three laps to go and
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: no one knew why. And there was a lot of
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theories and there still are conspiracy theories that those
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: two Chevys pitted to let Anton make it through to
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: the finals. Now, supercars have investigated it. They said they
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: were going to run out of fuel if they weren't
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: able to make the end of the race. But conspiracy theories.
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: It's all kicking off in the supercars right now.
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: So, you know, you've got this situation where, yeah, it's
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: a bit of, I remember a World Cup match and
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: a cricket game where Australia deliberately batted slower to not
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: let one team go through. This is 25, 30 years ago. So, yeah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: you're getting all that kind of stuff.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: And Chas came out of the pits. He had speed.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: He was closing in on Brock Feeney and Brodie Kostecki
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: in the lead. He cut it down by about three
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: seconds in a few laps. Had to give it up.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: And was asked to give up 10 seconds for his teammate.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: And then it all amounted to nothing.
• 38:49
  Speaker 10: It's a tricky line. Once you start compromising the results
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: like that, people start to.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: Become a bit disenfranchised. So, yeah, it's probably something they'll
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: have to look at at the end of the season.
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: Too late now, Sammy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: So Sandown in a few weeks and, of course, Adelaide
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: at the end of November.
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, looking forward to that. The other thing that's happening tomorrow,
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: and we'll get into it a bit more tomorrow perhaps,
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: is the third and final test against South Africa. It's
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: been an amazing series. A lot of criticism on the
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: Australians after that second test performance.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Is Marnes going to play? Well, surely not.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, this is it, Sammy. Do they stick with him
• 39:24
  Speaker 10: for this because it's the third and final test, or
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: do they cut the cord now and.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Say, no, it's done? If they haven't cut it by now,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: they're not going to. to cut it. Yeah, yeah.
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: It's intriguing.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: How do we feel, folks in here... about Australian cricketers
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: or Australian sportsmen commentating on their ex-teammates so soon after retirement.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I speak of Usman Khawaja.
• 39:46
  Speaker 13: Oh, yes.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I think you need to be removed from that playing
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: group a little bit because you're going to have, whether
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: you do or you don't, you're probably going to have
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: conflicting views. You don't want to put your teammates in
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: the pool, but also you're there to do a job.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Usman's always been outspoken, and I've enjoyed Usman in the media.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: I think he's honest, and I think he's a little
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: bit different. But I don't know. It just seems a
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: bit strange when you're in a position to comment on
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: people you've played with.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Or Dave Warner's in the same position for Fox as well.
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: He basically finished up and went straight into the commentary box.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: It's hard, isn't it?
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 40:15
  Speaker 10: With Usman, I just wonder, and perhaps even Dave Warner,
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: were they ever that close? Cricketers are a funny breed,
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: aren't they? It's a team sport, but a very selfish
• 40:24
  Speaker 10: sport as well.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:25
  Speaker 10: I reckon it's the only sport. And maybe I'm speaking
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: out of school here, but I reckon it's the only
• 40:29
  Speaker 10: sport where, at the top level, if I make a
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: duck and you're out in the middle, I'm thinking, they'll
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: never admit this, I hope he makes a duck, otherwise
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: I'm the one under pressure.
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Don't you think? I've never thought of it that way.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I reckon that happens a lot.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: But, Rennie, I think that happens in professional sport more
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: than what people would realise.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I think when the camera pans up to the box
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: of the players that aren't playing in the AFL side
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: of an AFL final, I think most listeners would be
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: horrified to know what they're thinking.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: And that's just reality.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: It's spot on.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: Professional sport, people are competitive. I think it takes an
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: incredible person to truly want the best for someone else,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: even if it undermines what you want to achieve.
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: You probably have to be that comfortable in your own skin.
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: Someone like LeBron James or, you know, you know you're
• 41:16
  Speaker 10: going to get picked anyway.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Manos Labasho.
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, everything's going to be okay regardless. And once
• 41:24
  Speaker 10: you're fully fit, you're in the side. But you're right,
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: for those players that are on the precipice of, you know,
• 41:28
  Speaker 10: in and out of the side, yeah, I think you're
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: absolutely right.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Now, Rennie, just quickly, what did you do with your week?
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: What did you get up to?
• 41:36
  Speaker 10: No, I did pretty easy.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: You're on the Today Show a bit.
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I got called in. Someone couldn't do it, so
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: I just stepped in for a couple of days.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: You're not very good at having a rest, Rennie.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 41:46
  Speaker 10: I hosted a couple of functions, but I played a
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: bit of golf, which was good.
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: Nice.
• 41:49
  Speaker 10: Got the handicap down to about 12 now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Nice, Rennie.
• 41:52
  Speaker 14: So that's good.
• 41:53
  Speaker 10: Yes, I am. I've had an 81. I've never broken 80.
• 41:57
  Speaker 10: but that was my best. I had an 81.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: So I think I'm close.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I called Rennie just to say hello on his break.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: He goes, Daddy, Daddy, I shot 81.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: You were pumped.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Well done. I had him on the show on Saturday afternoon,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: and it was telling me in the Saturday afternoon audience
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: that he got an 81. He was ecstatic. He was awesome.
• 42:16
  Speaker 10: Out at the gully, so my haunt out there, all the–
• 42:19
  Speaker 10: All the members, they're happy for you when you do well,
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: but they're a bit annoyed because you might have swept
• 42:23
  Speaker 10: a competition or something. But, no, they're a great bunch
• 42:25
  Speaker 10: of blokes and girls.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Out there, so it's good fun. Congratulations, Rennie.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Well done. No, thank you. Got a lot of work
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: to go. Good stuff. Well done, Tommy.
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: Good on you, boys.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Eight minutes to six. 8223 0000 044 808 1395. You
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: can jump in on the program. A couple of things
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: we've been talking about. How unlucky have you been? Do
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: you wear shoes inside or ask the guests to take
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: them off? And The Verge. The Council Verge. Are you
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: mowing it and maintaining it? 8223 0000.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Three minutes to six on this Monday. Will and Stace
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: for 5AA Breakfast. Not far away. Let's jump to the phones.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Andrew in Prospect has called in. Andrew, good morning to you.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: What's going on on your Monday morning?
• 43:13
  Speaker 12: Good morning.
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: You were talking about a bridge up front of your property. Yeah,
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: I have to maintain ours. Well, the property that I've
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: set up for young families like children with disabilities, it's
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: like for the accessibility of it. Yeah, I've got one
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: young lad residing in the property that follows a specific
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: pathway because he's very autistic. So, you know, he goes
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: across the lawn and out the front and across another
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: pathway of lawn and that, and unless it's maintained, he'll
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: just go straight through it. So, you know, we have
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: to make sure that it's properly mowed down and, you know,
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: correctly maintained. Otherwise, you know, he gets his shoes wet,
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: you know, during winter and muddy and that, so... Yeah,
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: but I'm on the council's back quite often about, you know,
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: could you please maintain it? Because we do have children
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: with disabilities residing in the property.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Andrew. Great call. I think for the
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: most part, our listeners are saying that if you own
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: the home or reside in the home, it's your obligation
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: to make sure it still looks neat and tidy. Albeit, probably,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: you know, in terms of the actual legalities, the council
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: is responsible.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Tim from Greenwith on the text line. I had a
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: lawn round for 20 years. It surprised me how many
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: people didn't want to pay a little extra to do
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: the council strip. I remember I offered one person I'd
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: do it for no extra cost as it looked terrible,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: and he absolutely did not want me to do it.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Bit of an odd one, that bloke.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting. I'm not sure what the thinking would be
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: behind that. Perhaps he's trying to send a message to
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: the council.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: It's not my job. It's the council's job. I pay
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: for it. Get it done, council, is probably what he's thinking.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure the outcome's as good as what it
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: could have been. Another texter, 441. I recently carried out
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: a verge reno. Auto irrigation installed through approximately 35 metres
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: of rolled lawn on a corner block. Looks awesome, and
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: I mow it and admire the mower wheel lines. Nice work, 441.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: It's been an interesting look into the high-fivers this morning.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good show, good start to the week.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to end it on... I don't think it
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: should be our responsibility to be mowing verges, but I'd
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: rather be mowing them because it reflects on your house. Yeah,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: it looks tidy.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: And shoes off when you go to someone's house, I think.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: But we can carry that on tomorrow.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think that one was as cut and dry.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Back right here on Tuesday at 5am.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: All right, come on, hurry up. Willis Day is coming
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: up for 5AA Breakfast. Matt Lusher, Tom Wren for the news.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: And as Ned just said, catch you tomorrow morning from 5.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
