  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: 504, good morning and welcome along to Early Breakfast. It's
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, the third day of September. Going for a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: top of 17 degrees with showers around today. Friday, 20
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: degrees with some showers. Saturday, 17 degrees. as we kickstart
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the Royal Adelaide Show and, of course, the footy on
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: at Adelaide Oval. Sunday, 18 degrees. Monday, 19. Currently in
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the city. 12.9.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Morning, Ned.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Morning, Sammy. Morning, high-fivers. A bit chillier this morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I thought. I'm feeling warmer.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I don't even have a jumper on for the first time.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right. We're totally out of whack.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We are when it comes to weather, I think.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Now, let's get things started with the top five.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: I'm going to rank the 5AA early breakfast high-fiving listeners,
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: their pets, from five to one.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Number five.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: This is going to be controversial.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I think Craig from Ingle Farm has a rotty.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Like a Rottweiler.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: I'm 90% sure Craig from Ingle Farm has a Rottweiler.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: He's number five, and the Rottweiler's number five. John from
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Port Augusta, he's just got pet peeves all the time,
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: so I'll put him in there at four, constantly complaining
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: about things that don't need to be complained about.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Johnny Boy?
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: Hope you're having a good morning. If you're listening, you're
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: number four. Number three, Michael from Ross Trevor's Dalmatians.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: He calls them the tractors. Yeah, nice work there in there,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: those two.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Number two, Sue from My Lost Cats, the Puscateers, those three.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, we all know who number one's going to be.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Number one, Mandy and those Blue Brothers.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Good morning to those two beautiful blue healing legends. And Mandy,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: good morning to you. I hope you've had a good
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: rest and it's great.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: To be with you.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to cause some angst amongst
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the high-fivers.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I couldn't quite think of number five. I'm certain Craig
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: has a Rottweiler. What other pets do our listeners have?
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: 8223 0000, if I've missed you, call in.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Let us know what pet you have. I was trying
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: to think.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Someone had a bird as well at some stage, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I've forgotten who had the bird.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Cheese and whiskers.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: High-fivers, let us know. 822-300-00. Linda, quick and early on
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the text line from Hewitt. Good morning.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Go Crows.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Simple and effective.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Someone on the text line said, I love you, Matthew. XXX.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Is that Matthew Pantelis in the evening's program?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It would be. It got sent in at 11.40 last night.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Matthew's got a few admirers. Oh, hello, John from
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Port Augusta.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Mr. Pet Peeve himself.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I can't believe you, you pogan, Ted McHenry.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: Ted McHenry.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Well, we can't all be one of them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, I just want a bit of balance on 5AA,
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: that's all.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: A bit of balance.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, I don't want just a crow show all
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: the time.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Were you expecting the whack there and the number four spot?
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: No, not really, no, because I'm pretty easygoing, actually.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty easygoing.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: I do get annoyed with one-eyed supporters, though.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: It happens with Port Dundee Green.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: It happens with Port.
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: I get annoyed with one-eyed people who just think I
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: only see their own colours and all the rest of it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: I mean, it just annoys me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: And because you're South Australian or Australian or whatever, you
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: only sort of have to follow blindly everything that's.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: South Australian, though.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: We're in Australia.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: I mean, I.
• 3:39
  Speaker 10: Was a proud Australian.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: But I just get jacked up just by the media
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: in this state.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Anyway, that's enough of that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 11: That's enough of that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: I am out of wings.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: I am out of wings. I love you, Johnny boy.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: You keep that fire burning, brother. Good to hear from
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: you this morning.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: All right, mate.
• 3:57
  Speaker 12: See you, fellas.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Johnny.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 4:02
  Speaker 13: Chris.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: You're on the air, great man.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Go for it, Chris.
• 4:06
  Speaker 11: Yeah, does four border collies deceased count?
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Well, no, because they're laying six foot in the ground, Chris, unfortunately.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, if they're up on all four, that might help.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: What happened to the beautiful border collies?
• 4:21
  Speaker 11: Oh, they did their time and everything else like that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 11: So I got them from Honeyvale Kennels up the mid-north.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 11: So I've had four of them. The last one went
• 4:33
  Speaker 11: about six months ago. and she went peacefully, and that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: going to be the last ones I have.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, Chris, it's a bit of a shame, isn't it,
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: when bloody dogs pass away? You don't realise how much
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: you're going to miss them. I can put them in
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: there because Craig hasn't confirmed whether he does have that roddy. So, Chris,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: I'll put you in as number five now. Chris, sorry, Downs,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: the four border collies that you had.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Is that all right?
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, okay.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Thanks, mate.
• 4:58
  Speaker 11: See you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: On your way for a walk this morning, mate. Chris
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: is gone. Text line, though, Ned, it's going off. We're
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: getting pictures sent in left, right and centre. Mark in Parahills.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And what about Chloe the Border Collie and Cinnamon the Cat? Rex,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: they're not happy. Mark from Parahills.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Yes, Cinnamon the Cat, Mark, I'm aware of. You are
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: one of our great texters, Mark from Parahills. We enjoy
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: your company.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Kathy sent in Poppy and Willow, a couple of cats.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Kathy, of course, is our bird nerd, and she's a superstar. Kathy,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: look at that wonderful cat bed you've got there, Kath.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Rob in Clearview, our man Rob. My Cash and Louie
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: are listening, and now I'm consoling them as regular high-fivers
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: with me.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Can you bring that up? Oh, yeah. Are they Jack Russells?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: The one on the right is a Jack Russell. Are
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: they both Jack Russells, Rob?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Cracking little dogs. They're supposed to be the best companions,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Jack Russells.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: They're little terriers.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Linda from Hewitt has sent in a photo of her
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: little Billy.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, hello, Billy. Looks like a little cow, Linda.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: It's got dairy cow colours and looks like great fur too.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Anyway, we could do this for hours.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Let's head out back to Ingle Farm. Craig, good morning. Morning, boys.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: Yes, yes, I've got Daisy the Roddy.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I knew you had a Roddy, Craig.
• 6:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we can't forget Moose, though.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: Moose is my rescue dog. So he's half Kelpie, half Roddy,
• 6:16
  Speaker 8: and he is beautiful. He's an elderly doggo. He's very wise, though,
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: but he's 12, and he's starting to slow down.
• 6:26
  Speaker 11: But you can't forget my major.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: My big chook. Princess Leia.
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: She's been laying double yokers. So I've got to mention
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Princess Leia as well.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: She gets a mention. I've got to completely revisit this list.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You've buggered this up.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I could do a top ten.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: It's expanding.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: No, I'll do a six, yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: So the Roddy is in, Princess Leia.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: So I'll kind of do your zoo there, Craig. Thank you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Have a good morning, boys.
• 6:53
  Speaker 14: Thanks, Craig.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: See you, mate. Well done, Craig.
• 6:55
  Speaker 15: Look at that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They're coming in, mate.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: There is so many texts of pets.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Of course. Also, remember, Ned.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: We have a Royal Show Family Pass giveaway.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, great. So how do we award that?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We'll figure it out by six o'clock, I think. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you could jump on the phones. 822-300-00. I'm going to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: send out the two from the last two days this afternoon.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: So jump on the phones. You could be in the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: running for a Royal Family Show Pass. Ange in Richmond.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Chris from Peterhead. Layla, the mixed breed.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice. That looks like a beautiful dog.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Nice eyes there, Ange. Good work at Richmond. I remember
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Ange I thought was a woman, but it's not.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It's a man.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: That's right, yes.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Now, the turtle. Remember Peter had the turtle? We were
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: confused about that as well.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: And Brett's the person with our bird. You forgot my
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: three noisy cockatiels.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Is that how you spell it? Say it. Brett.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Just say cockies. Cockies.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Cockies. Pickles, maples and wasabi. Anyway, we're getting in the
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: weeds now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Because we could literally just talk about everyone's pets for hours.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Now, something came across my desk yesterday afternoon before I left, Ned.
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And I'm holding it in my hand. So when you
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: say things come across your desk, sometimes you see things.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But these actually came across my desk. We had a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: package sent in.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Who sent in a package?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: It was addressed early morning breakfast. Attention, Ned and Sam.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I opened it up.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: So you're opening it up.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I'm opening it up. A couple of stubby holders.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: A few stubby holders.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Which is always very handy.
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Thanks for that. I've got that one there.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Got a thermos sort of cup for your coffee. Oh, cool.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Don't drop this.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: All right. And there was a note in there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: A note.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: A note was sent with it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Who sent this through?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: To Ned and Sam. Every early morning radio hosts need
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: a good coffee cup and something for the end of
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the day. Cheers, Tim Harvey.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, was it Harves who sent those through, was it?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, what a legend. He sent through some tumblers.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's awesome.
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: Bunch.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's cool.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: So he sent through a package team. Tim Harvey, of course,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: one of the great people in this world. He's a
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: farmer down at Hartley.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: He's a ripper. And he's been at the cropping conference.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: So he sent through a package. That's great.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: That's going to get some serious use. That's a heavy-duty
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: coffee cup.
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: No, they're high quality.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Good work.
• 9:08
  Speaker 13: On you, Tim.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Julia Blakeview's on the line. We'll quickly go to Jules. Hello, Jules.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Good morning, boys.
• 9:13
  Speaker 16: You forgot about my two cats.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, Julie, did I?
• 9:17
  Speaker 16: Yeah, my black and white one. I've got a black one.
• 9:21
  Speaker 16: And I've also, we've got a budgie who is, he
• 9:26
  Speaker 16: wolf whistles. So I have to be careful if people
• 9:28
  Speaker 16: come here, if people get offence at somebody wolf whistling
• 9:31
  Speaker 16: at them.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: That is not very 2026, Julie. I know.
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 9:36
  Speaker 16: It's very, not very PC at all.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Well, I've got you in there, Jules. Sorry about that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 16: Oh, you're forgetting me already.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: No, no, Jules, I'll never forget you, but I was
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: putting the list together.
• 9:49
  Speaker 11: You did.
• 9:49
  Speaker 16: You said you were going to bring me for my birthday,
• 9:52
  Speaker 16: and you forgot that. I remember Jules, Oh, Ned, you
• 9:55
  Speaker 16: do disappoint me.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, Jules.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He's just a battle of trying his hardest.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I am.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I can't believe I forgot those cats.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: I think it's your personality, Jules, that kind of I
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: always think about more so than your cats.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Look at the text, mate. The text, mate. Judy, good morning,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Ned and Sam. I don't have a pet, only a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: quasi-pet cat. because the neighbour's cat from across the street
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: has adopted me.
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: Nice.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: He's gorgeous but the best pet because I'm ultimately not
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: responsible for him. Love your show. I wake up early
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: just to listen to your banter and nonsense. Well, there's
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of nonsense here, Judy. I appreciate it. Judy,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that's actually so true.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: How easy is it when it's not your responsibility but
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: you still get all the fun bits?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: It's like being a grandparent, isn't it? You get all
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the fun bits of the kid and then you pass
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: them back when they need to go to bed.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, there you go. Yeah, good analogy. Well done.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: What about Jim here?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jim's got Easton from Edwardstown. How good's that? He's
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: from the Border Force Detection Dog Program.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Sadly, I think accidentally oversampled some products and didn't quite
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: pass the program.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: What was he sampling, Jim? Was he getting stuck into
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: some illicit drugs or something?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Nose candy. Beautiful dog, though.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Smoking a few spliffs, was he? The old Labrador. He
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: looks like a great dog. Labradors, they've got a heart
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: of gold. But they'd eat anything. Labs, wouldn't they?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Morning, boys. This is Texas, and yep, he's a Crows
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: fan like we are, hence the Crows Weber Station.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Go the Crows. Nice work.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Cool outdoor area there, whoever that is. Sir Gordon of Ramsey,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Gordy and Calvin. Oh, goodness, there are a lot of
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: texts regarding pets.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's Tom's.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: Tom's got Gordy and Calvin. Tom is our environmentalist, in
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: which I say respectfully. He always gives us balanced opinions
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: when we are pro-development in the parklands.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Nice work, Tom.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Well done.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I'm amazed with how many listeners, how many high-fivers.
• 11:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Sending through photos of their pets this morning at 5.15.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that's kind of a first break thing.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: We can't do that for the full hour because it
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: will just become a.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: True.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: But, yeah, really, really nice to reflect and acknowledge and
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: celebrate all of our high-fiving pets.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Exactly right. 16 after five. We might have to get
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to a quick break. 8223 0000. Keep the calls coming in.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Keep the texts coming in. We'll be back in a moment.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: 19 after 5 on this Thursday morning, going for a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: beautiful 17 degrees. Some showers about, but we are slowly
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: warming up. I mean, it's springtime. Footy finals are in
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the air. The Royal Adelaide show isn't far away. Sam
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: falls at the Adelaide Oval. Weather's getting warmer. Is this
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: not one of the best part times of the year, Ned?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: It certainly is.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: I love when you just feel that weather slightly shift
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: in September.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: It's shifting. We go into spring. It is shifting.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: This is such a stupid question, and I don't care.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: No stupid questions, Neddy.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I don't care. I need some help from the listeners.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: How does it work with the sun? Why do we.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Have sun earlier now and later in the day than
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: what we did two months ago?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Isn't it?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Don't act like it's some simple thing. It's not.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I was just going to try and make it simple.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Make it simple for me.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: The earth is moving closer to the sun and the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: tilt of the earth means that our country of Australia
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: is getting closer because it tilts.
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Is that how it works? So in winter, we're tilted away.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And in summer, we're tilted closer.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Well, that's remarkable. That is a lot more simple and
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: a lot easier than what I thought.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure from my
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: year nine science, that's what it was, or year five science.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Was that year five?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm making up numbers right now, Ned.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Goodness me, I wasn't very good at school.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Sue, good morning.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: Hello, Sue.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: Good morning.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Is that right, Sue? Is that how it works with
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: the sun or what?
• 13:40
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 13: And then for four glorious weeks, getting up really early,
• 13:47
  Speaker 13: we've got lovely light mornings. and then we go back
• 13:50
  Speaker 13: to stupidity again, and we'll be getting up in the
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: dark again.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: But daylight savings, right, daylight savings was invented for economic impact.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: So it's a social construct.
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: Not for country people.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: So time is a social construct, Sue.
• 14:08
  Speaker 13: Don't start me on daylight savings.
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with daylight savings?
• 14:11
  Speaker 13: I just, yeah, I do not like, you know, having
• 14:14
  Speaker 13: to get up and starting work at half past six
• 14:17
  Speaker 13: in the morning or whatever. In pitch darkness again. I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 13: enjoying the daylight, the morning at the moment.
• 14:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 14:27
  Speaker 13: But you woke me up because you were talking about pets.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Well, you were in the rankings.
• 14:32
  Speaker 13: I love my animals.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: You were number two, I think, weren't you?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 14:37
  Speaker 13: I mean, I've got 15 chooks, four horses and a mule,
• 14:42
  Speaker 13: three cats. I've got a budgie, a couple of fish,
• 14:46
  Speaker 13: some stick insects.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: You've got a zoo, Sue.
• 14:50
  Speaker 13: Well, I'm about... Very exciting. I'm about to get... This week,
• 14:53
  Speaker 13: I'm getting hopping mice.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:56
  Speaker 13: I've had them years ago, and some friends said, would
• 14:59
  Speaker 13: you like some more? So I'm getting them on Friday,
• 15:03
  Speaker 13: so that'll be very exciting. Oh, and I have a mule,
• 15:06
  Speaker 13: so yes, it's got Carly. They are my... Because I
• 15:11
  Speaker 13: live alone, you know, I don't have any family, so
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: they're my everything.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 13: They're... They're the reason you get up in the morning,
• 15:19
  Speaker 13: you don't come home to an empty house. Um, you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 13: they're unlike people. They don't judge you. They don't care
• 15:25
  Speaker 13: what you look like. They just love you for who
• 15:28
  Speaker 13: you are. And, uh, I mean, my old pussycat, she's
• 15:32
  Speaker 13: about to turn 16. I, twice a day, I give
• 15:35
  Speaker 13: her an insulin injection. Um, and she just loves me unconditionally.
• 15:40
  Speaker 13: And I just, you know, they're so, they're everything. And, um,
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: They keep you warm at night. And I love my cats,
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: you know, as you well know. I'm a pussycat person,
• 15:51
  Speaker 13: but I've had some beautiful dogs over the years.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Well done, Sue.
• 15:54
  Speaker 13: I haven't had one for 10 years. And, you know,
• 15:58
  Speaker 13: people with animals know. They get it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: They certainly do.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Well, we love you too, Sue, as well as those
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: animals loving you and you loving those animals. Great little
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: kind of zoo thing happening there.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Sue's just raised a great point. We're a month out.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Daylight savings.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Daylight savings. Yes or no? I'm a big yes. What
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: are you? You're a man on the land. Does it
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: impact you?
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I love daylight savings. But it is a social construct.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: They just invented it for everyone to be more productive
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: and spend more money in the economy.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: And raise the GDP. What the heck?
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: What else could we change? What else could be a
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: social construct? What else could we just, you know, have
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: male and female influence on? What about these hopping mice?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of them.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're like a little possum. I'm just having a
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: look at them now. They look horrible.
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: Sue....
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: Lots of love to all of your different animals. But
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: the Australian native mice, here we go, like hopping mice.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Does anyone know anything about them? They look like little mice.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: We've got plenty of those at the moment.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: We've got a plague with all our hay and grain.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: We definitely do. So if you've got any thoughts on
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: daylight savings, there's a month out, 822-300-00. We can set
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: up a quick straw poll, two to one. Sue, very
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: much against it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Kathy's against it too on the text line. So two
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: to two, because you're pro daylight savings, aren't you?
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Well, let's do a bit of a poll. Give us
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: a call, 8223 0000. What are your thoughts on daylight savings?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: It's not far away now.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's not far away. Also, roads in and around Adelaide, Ned.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like you've got some strong views because you're
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: on the roads all the time.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Well, this got brought up yesterday when we were talking
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: with a few of our listeners from T3 Gully in
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: the north, Jules and a few others. The road from
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Birdwood coming down to the north of our wonderful city,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to remember what that road is, the very
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: windy road.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Do you know what it's called?
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That wouldn't be the one that goes past the rocking horse,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that one, North East Road?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: That is the worst road in South Australia.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Big call.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: It's a massive call.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: That's a big call. On mornings, we've been getting a lot,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of feedback lately in the last few weeks
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: about Port Wakefield Road on the other side of Port Wakefield.
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: That's supposedly just been laid not long ago, and it's
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: already been torn up.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because there's so much freight. There's massive road trains
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: and stuff that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Go through there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I do that road a lot.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there are some issues with that road, but I
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: cannot believe.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: And.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I'm so happy that it doesn't happen.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: But the amount of turns and close interactions with other vehicles,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: how there's not more accidents on.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: That road is just beyond me.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you are in a big car.
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I know.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Which wouldn't make it any easier.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: But that road, mate, is extraordinary.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Well, there's currently a $ 2. 1 billion backlog of road maintenance
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: in and around Adelaide and South Australia. Ashton Hearn joined
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Graeme Goodings yesterday.
• 18:42
  Speaker 14: Not a day goes by where people aren't hitting the
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: phones or calling electorate offices around the state complaining about
• 18:49
  Speaker 14: a regional road, and.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Rightly so, because.
• 18:52
  Speaker 14: They're crumbling and we've got a pretty eye-watering backlog of $ 2.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: 1 billion.
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: And I think it's important to note that the state
• 19:00
  Speaker 14: government obviously has a budget every year for road maintenance,
• 19:04
  Speaker 14: but it's nowhere near up to where it needs to
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: be to make sure we can eat through the backlog.
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: In the same way that we expect or the government
• 19:12
  Speaker 14: expects our cars to be roadworthy, we also need our
• 19:16
  Speaker 14: roads to be carworthy. I think that's a pretty straightforward ask,
• 19:21
  Speaker 14: and we really do want to see the government make
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: it a priority because ultimately it's all well and good
• 19:26
  Speaker 14: for the government to focus on flashy things, but when
• 19:30
  Speaker 14: you are in government, your top job is to get
• 19:32
  Speaker 14: the basic things right.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Leader of the opposition, Ashton Hearn, on 5AA Mornings yesterday.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So roads in and around Adelaide, what's the worst roads?
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: What's the worst road in South Australia or Adelaide? A
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: northeast road for me, once you get past, as you said,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: that rocking horse and you're doing those sharp turns and
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: people are coming around and it can be quite wet
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: through there as well, I think it's borderline unsafe, honestly.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: I can't believe that people would transit that road every day.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Rob from Clearview, it's weird that councils have enough money
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and bitumen to build speed humps but not fill potholes.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: It's ironic, isn't it? That's good. A lot of feedback
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: for Daylight Savings Summit.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: John, morning yes for Daylight Savings. We start work at
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: 4 a.m. and get most of our work done by
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the time summer heat really kicks in. Also means we
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: can enjoy some daylight once knockoffs occur. John, so that's
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: another one for the yes. I feel like the yeses
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: are going to stream ahead. Love your work, John.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: What do you do for a quid, John? Are you
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: on the tools? Sounds like you are, I think.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: You'd assume so. Mick, Daylight Savings, yes. $ 1 schooners, yes.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: And $ 10 palmies, yes.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Well, Mick, what fantasy are you living with, mate? There
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: hasn't been $ 1 schooners for how long? When was it
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: a beer $ 1?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have thought in our lifetime.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: No, I know, but there would have been a time
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: when the average beer cost $ 1.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: When was that?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I'd have to do a Google.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Do a Google, Ned. Let's do a Google.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Do a Google. Sally and Rosewater, I love daylight savings,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: sitting out socialising after cricket on a Saturday. Nothing better.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Another one here, 497. Daylight savings, definitely a yes. Linda
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and Ingle Farm. Morning, Sam and Ned. Love daylight savings.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I don't like the extra sun, but at least you
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: can go outside and see around. From Linda. Okay, so
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: we're on about seven to two right now.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: By the mid-1980s, AI is telling me that that was
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: when you could walk into a pub and buy a
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: beer for a dollar.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: 8223 0000.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Who remembers that?
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Who remembers walking into a pub and spending a dollar
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: on a beer? Please call in and just... Just tell
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: us that story. Just give us that yarn so we
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: can just drool and reflect on the good times, the
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: era that we weren't in.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: A bit of nose coming through now. Sam and Ned,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I hate daylight savings. As I've gotten older, I also
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: believe that it goes on too long. It affects my
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: body clock.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Well, they did extend it. It used to only be
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: four months long. Then they decided to move it out
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to six months. About 15 years ago, I want to say. Debbie,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a no for daylight savings. I like waking up
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to the birds in the morning chirping.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Love your work, Debbie.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Great to chat to you on the phone yesterday.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: No calls on our worst road in Adelaide or South Australia.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: No one must have an opinion on that. Now, you
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: know I'm excited about the Royal Adelaide Show, don't you?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You're going to be down there.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I love the Royal Adelaide Show.
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: And have you seen this? David the Bullet Smith, the American.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: No, fill me in.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: He's the human cannonball.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: He's going to be performing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: He shoots himself out of a cannon. He's got the
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: Guinness World Record.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: That's extraordinary. How long has his record of being shot
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: out of a cannon?
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, but he's got a record.
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: I haven't done any kind of further research other than
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: just get excited about this fella.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Got me thinking, if you were to do any job
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: at the Royal Adelaide Show, what would you do? What
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: would you do?
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: That's what I was about to say. Good job, Ned.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Good job.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Thanks, mate.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Wow, thanks for the approval. Would you shoot out of
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: a cannonball? Would you organise the rollercoaster? Would you do
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: the corndogs? I mean, what are you doing at the
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Royal Adelaide Show, Tim?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: They're coming to you. You've got to fill in a job.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Are you with the dogs? Are you with the livestock?
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Are you pig racing?
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Chopping the wood?
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: What are you doing?
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Plenty of things.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Chopping the wood would be good.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Who's got that? Plenty.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: You've got the role. You can decide what you do.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: You've got the golden ticket.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Would you join the human cannonball at the Royal Adelaide Show,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: David the bullet smith, or would you do something a
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: little more practical?
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: If it was me, I'd probably get in the cars
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and go around the stadium.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: That's probably me. I like it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Well, you're a ref, Ed.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Hey, this is exciting. Rob from Clearview's on the line.
• 23:31
  Speaker 13: Hello, Rob.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: How we doing, fellas?
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Morning, legend.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: How are you?
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: Not bad, guys. I'm with you on the extra hour
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: of daylight savings, but I think you guys have got
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: to come along for the ride because just as you
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: hit your straps, Will and Stacey come elbowing in. So
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: I want to have a protest. I've even got a
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: chant for you guys so that we can get an
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: extra hour of the high fives in the morning. What
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: do we want? An extra hour of high fives. When
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: do we want it? Well, when 5.0 Aid Management and
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: the program schedulers can get together and round it in
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: a way that it's good for everyone and Will and
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: Stacey are on board and I probably need to work
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: on that part of the chant.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: But anyway.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Rob, this is a lot of ideas for a man
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: who hasn't kind of confirmed the fact that we're obeying
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: at your house yet.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Mate, I'm here.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: Where are you?
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: That's so true.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: So what I think next has to happen for this,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: because Ned, I know you're red hot on this. You
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: and Rob need to take this offline.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to take it offline.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And actually establish if this is going to happen before
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I take any of the tech side or management, because
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: we all know that once you get an idea, it's
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: up to me to make it happen.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't speak with management, Rob.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: So it's up to you two to figure it out.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do, Ned?
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: We'll get together for a $ 10 palmy at a $ 1
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: beer pub, and when you can find that, we can
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: sit down and have a chat. We'll get it all
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: sorted out.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure there's plenty of those pubs
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: kicking around. Fucking time travel back to the 80s.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: We can meet at the show. We can meet at
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: the show, because at the show, if you've got a stick,
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: you've got a business. You've got chips on a stick,
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: you've got a Dagwood dog, you've got fairy floss, you've
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: got toffee apples. So if you've got a stick, you've
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: got a business. That's my thing about the show.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Do you like the show, Rob?
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: I'm not big on crowds. I used to work there
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: for a couple of years, so... I used to do the,
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: once you walk out the gate at the night, we'd have,
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: it's a city, it never sleeps. And so it is
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: a busy place. Every night, some animal escapes some cage somewhere.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: So one night the goats get out, or the lamb
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: will go walking.
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: We even had a.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: He even had a snake out one night, but the
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: cleaner was pretty cool with it. He said, I'll just
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: pick it up and put it.
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: Back in its cage.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's good, yeah. But the baby ducks and the
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: baby goats, everything's small. I've had everything small, like miniature goats,
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: miniature ducks, miniature horses.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: They're just brilliant.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Rob, love you, love you.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: So, Rob, can I text you on your private number?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Is that okay? Feel free, mate.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Feel free.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: And if you want to have a quick drive of
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: a truck around the yard, always come and see me, mate.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like a child.
• 25:49
  Speaker 12: Come on, Ned.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: You can hop up.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Have a go.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Well done, Rob. See you, Rob. We'll see you.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: That's Salisbury. Gary, good morning.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: I remember getting used to buy pints. I remember what
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: the exact price was. It was 88 cents. This was
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: back in probably 1989. Oh, really? Because you'd always wake
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: up with a shitload of two-cent pieces in your jeans.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: I'm my age now with the two-cent pieces. That's what
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: I remember.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: So relative to how much money you would spend a week,
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: was a beer cheap, Gary?
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Take me back to that time.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: I can't remember, to be honest. I can't remember.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Well, I thought you were going to go down some
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: deep philosophical reflection, but.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: No, not this time of the morning, mate.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Well, if you can find anywhere with a cheap beer,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: I'll come and have one with you. They're expensive off
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: the wood now, aren't they?
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, over $ 10 for a pint.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: It is dear. I still go and do it, but
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: it is very expensive. I can see why people go
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: and just get some takeaways and get some people around
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: at home, which is fun too.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Stephen from McGill. Good morning, boys. Apparently there is jobs
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: available for clowns. They put their heads side to side
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and put Ping pong balls down their mouth. Plenty of
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: vacancies available.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, God. Stephen, that would be a terrible job.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Obviously, talking about those clowns in the trailer, aren't they?
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: The back and forth, you're doing it. Moving your head
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: east to west. Love that. Mick says, Rex and Dirk's
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: High Five podcast. Good work.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Jack says, I remember cashing a check in local pub
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: after footy practice in the late 70s for $ 20 on.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: A Thursday night. Beers were 40 cents.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: 40 cents.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Money lasted me till Sunday. How good's that? Good stuff, Jack.
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: 40 cents.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Where did you play footy, local footy, Jack? Where did
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: you have a kick around? What club were you at, mate?
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Would love to hear that.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Also talking about terrible roads, we had one here, the
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Horrocks Highway. Ellie from Riverton is nominating the Horrocks Highway
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: in SA for the worst road in South Australia.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, get your worst roads in, team. I just cannot
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: imagine anything would beat that. windy stretch on the northeast
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: there down from Birdwood to the northern suburbs.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: But that's a good, good suggestion there.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: 25 to 6, 8223 0000. Keep the calls coming in.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Tom Wren, not far away. We'll check out the latest
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: in sport. Matty Nix, coach of the Crows, addressed the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: media yesterday, so we'll have a bit of a chat
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: about that, plus plenty more. Stick around.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: 11 to 6 to all you high-fivers out there going
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: for a top of 17 degrees with some showers today.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: 20 tomorrow, 17 on Saturday to kickstart the Royal Adelaide
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Show for 2026. And if you join in on the
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: program as a high-fiver, you can go into the running
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: for a family pass to the Royal Adelaide Show. Currently
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: 13.1 here in the city, but now.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: The latest in sports with Tom Rand.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Morning, Rene.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Hello, boys. Great to be with you again this morning.
• 28:52
  Speaker 12: Gee, hasn't it all been happening this week with regards
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: to coaches and, you.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Know, teams?
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Extraordinary.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Where do you want to start?
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, well, let's start maybe with Alistair Clarkson in North Melbourne.
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: And look, obviously, it's front page of the paper today,
• 29:06
  Speaker 12: but he's gone. He had one year to run on
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: his contract. Remember when he came there and there was
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: huge talk about him? Let's first have a listen to
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: how things unfold.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: This is Sonia Hood yesterday.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: In the middle of the year, we made it clear
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: that we would talk about Alistair's contract at the end
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: of the year.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: We did a fair amount.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Of listening inside the club and a fair amount of
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: data collection. It became clear through that process that we
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be extending him at the end of 2027 and
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: therefore it was unfair to continue into next year with
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: him as our senior coach knowing that.
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: So that's the president of the North Melbourne Footy Club,
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: Sonia Hood.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yep, Todd Viney also spoke.
• 29:40
  Speaker 17: It's not a lack of belief. The players have been
• 29:42
  Speaker 17: very supportive of what Clark has tried to produce. As
• 29:47
  Speaker 17: I just mentioned, the main issue has been for us
• 29:49
  Speaker 17: to take that next step in trying to fix some
• 29:52
  Speaker 17: of the underlying problems in our game plan, that in
• 29:55
  Speaker 17: trying to educate that, messages have become a little bit
• 29:58
  Speaker 17: muddier and the players feel like they haven't been clear.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Now, there's been a lot of talk, Tom, about the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: words spoken at that press conference. Nick Riewoldt had a
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: bit of go of it last night. Paraphrasing slightly, but
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Sonia Hood said along the lines of they need a
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: coach who can coach the modern game.
• 30:14
  Speaker 12: So it feels like, and that was Todd Viney, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 12: it's a big call. He's... full of so much integrity,
• 30:21
  Speaker 12: Todd Viney. And he sort of got begged by Alistair
• 30:23
  Speaker 12: Clarkson to come back. He's the footy manager. And he
• 30:26
  Speaker 12: stayed and Clarkson is gone. But it feels like Sammy
• 30:30
  Speaker 12: and just, you know, listening to the commentary and the
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: way she's talking and subsequent sort of fallout, that it's
• 30:36
  Speaker 12: a classic case of a Gen X coach, old school coach.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: And, Ned, you might know a bit more about this.
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: Maybe someone like Don Pike, who is probably more in
• 30:45
  Speaker 12: tune or you're in tune with that kind of person,
• 30:47
  Speaker 12: a Gen X-er, failing coach. to connect with Gen Z.
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: It felt like pretty much that to me. And it
• 30:54
  Speaker 12: also then goes to say, well, who runs the footy club?
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Is it the coach? Is it the players? There's all
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: of that. So it felt like a classic breakdown, Sammy, where.
• 31:04
  Speaker 12: He just wasn't connecting with his players anymore.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: So do you reckon the game's gone past Alistair Clarkson
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: or just that playing group didn't fit with Alistair Clarkson?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Is there another gig out there for him?
• 31:16
  Speaker 12: It's a great question. He's a four-time premiership coach. I
• 31:21
  Speaker 12: think there's a job for Alistair Clarkson. He would be brilliant,
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: like Todd Viney's doing now, like a football manager. Say Essendon,
• 31:31
  Speaker 12: for example, they appoint me, well, they've got a new coach,
• 31:34
  Speaker 12: and Carlton, he'd be a great guy to say, I'll
• 31:37
  Speaker 12: look after you, if he wanted to do that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: That overarching mentor type.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: That head of footy. Omer Thompson with James Hurden. Exactly.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: He would be brilliant, I think.
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: He's got too much experience and had too much success
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: not to be utilised in some kind of way.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: Senior coaching as well, maybe.
• 31:53
  Speaker 12: He's only 58, but clearly in this particular instance, Sammy,
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: to answer your question, I think more of the latter,
• 31:59
  Speaker 12: which you said was... I think this playing group and
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: Alistair Clarkson, from what we're seeing and hearing and reading,
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: just wasn't connecting with those players anymore.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that make it all the more impressive, someone like
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Chris Fagan at the age of 65?
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: At Brisbane.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: No, this is the thing. So the last 10, I've
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: done some research. We talk about the last 10 AFL premierships.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Luke Beveridge, Damian Hardwick, Adam Simpson, then Damian Hardwick for
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: two in a row.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: Simon Goodwin, Chris Scott, Craig McRae, then Chris Fagan for two.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: What is the theme between all of those coaches of
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: the last 10 premierships?
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: They are quite senior. Goodwin is a bit younger.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Not one of them had won a grand final at
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: another team before winning that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Not one.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: So Chris Scott had won one at Geelong. All of
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: the other ones, you know, Luke Beveridge had never won
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: a grand final.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: As a coach, you mean? As a senior coach.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Does that talk more about our industry that we don't
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: give coaches another go?
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: No.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: It speaks to everyone thinking that you can go and
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: employ someone who's previously won a grand final and they're
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: going to magically.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Achieve it with a new team and a new system.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Look, it didn't work with Malthouse today at Carlton.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: And teams are kind of talking through that lens. around
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Adam Simpson and others now they are gun coaches don't
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: get me wrong sensational coaches but the fact they've won
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: a grand final at another team is totally irrelevant in
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: my view when you're you know looking for a new coach.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Well it's interesting with the coaches pool this year when
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you've had Adam Simpson and Josh uh John Longmire in
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: the pool yeah the two good gigs that have gone
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: so far they haven't got.
• 33:33
  Speaker 12: Them so I wonder yeah exactly I wonder whether or
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: not then North Melbourne, Ned, so you're sort of thinking,
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: go and get Murray Davis or go and get Jamie
• 33:41
  Speaker 12: Graham from Fremantle.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Go and get an untried, really good... Corey Enright. Corey Enright,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: James Kelly. I think so. That's where my thought would be.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I think that's where all the success has been in
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: recent premierships. Chris Fagan had never been a senior coach.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Craig McRae, the exact same. You know, Simon.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Goodwin hadn't been a senior coach before that. So, and
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Chris Scott, obviously a little different, but that's the most recent...
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: um afl coaches that have won grand finals i just
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: don't think it's as simple as what others suggest in
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: the media and clarkson is a um is evidence of
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: this that you go and pluck someone who's won plenty
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: of grand finals previously and go there you go roll
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: in there and go and get it done again it's not.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: That simple the game moves at such a dynamic pace.
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: Yeah yeah and from what we hear it felt like
• 34:28
  Speaker 12: You know, I heard David King talking about it, and
• 34:29
  Speaker 12: he's obviously close to North Melbourne. He's a two-time premiership player.
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: He was part of the Golden Era, and it felt
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: like there was this disconnect, that the players didn't feel
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: like they were at the cutting edge. And I'm sure
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: there's a lot of people out there, though, listening, going
• 34:43
  Speaker 12: right now, well, who the hell runs the footy club?
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: Is that the tail wagging the dog? So all of that,
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: all of that, you know, North Melbourne, the players have
• 34:52
  Speaker 12: to take some responsibility, you know, But North Melbourne, because
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: on the outside, I think it did feel like they
• 34:58
  Speaker 12: won nine games. They only won five last year. And
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: I know it's only still nine games, but it's improvement.
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: So they have improved, but obviously they're trying to get
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: ahead of it. It's a bold call. It's a really
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: bold call.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Especially when this is the board that put Alistair Clarkson
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: in to start with.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Well, that's right.
• 35:13
  Speaker 12: And considering, Sammy, they're not a club flush with cash
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: and they're going to have to fork out $ 1. 5 million
• 35:19
  Speaker 12: to pay him out, You know, like, that's big biggies.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Job well done from Clarkson to this point or not?
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Pass mark?
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: No, I don't think he'd see it as that. He'd
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: be pretty– I think 20 wins or whatever it.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Is across four seasons.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: It's pretty light. Yep.
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: But you can see they're on the right path, but
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: they haven't got– I think we know, Ned, that the
• 35:41
  Speaker 12: next step's probably the– The hard one, isn't it? Getting
• 35:45
  Speaker 12: from that sort of 12th, 13th to top four or top.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Six, that's a big jump. Massive jump. I think he's
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: on the way, probably.
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: A D, maybe a C +, if you're being really generous.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Matthew Nix spoke to the media yesterday, didn't he?
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and he deflected a fair bit, didn't he? He
• 36:04
  Speaker 12: didn't really want to delve into it too much, which
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: I kind of understand. Gee, it's coming thick and fast.
• 36:11
  Speaker 12: Let's have a listen to Matty Nix.
• 36:13
  Speaker 15: I've had a lot of support actually in the last 24,
• 36:17
  Speaker 15: 48 hours as I've had over the last seven years.
• 36:19
  Speaker 15: Spoken to our CEO, President, a number of board members
• 36:22
  Speaker 15: around where we sit as a club and the confidence
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: that they've got, the confidence that is in line with
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: what we do as a staff and players. So at
• 36:30
  Speaker 15: this point in time we're really looking forward to the
• 36:32
  Speaker 15: challenge we've got Saturday night and then hopefully where we
• 36:35
  Speaker 15: head to over the next month.
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so they then had training last night. Not sure
• 36:41
  Speaker 12: if you saw the vision where they're all holding hands
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: and running around. Not sure if you ever did any
• 36:45
  Speaker 12: of those. I think they do it a bit in
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: the EPL with clubs. You know, it's all about, you know,
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: running in the same direction and teamwork, et cetera. But, boy,
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: it's blown up on social media, hasn't it? People mocking
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: them and getting stuck.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Into the crows. Has it?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: People are loving the pylon at the moment.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Particularly interstate.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: I'm not on all that social media for footy too much. But, yeah,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: I saw that. I thought it was interesting. I hope
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: the Crows, well, I hope and know the Crows are
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: going to win. So that's what you can do to
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: fix this, can't you? You just go and win.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Winning solves all manner of sins, doesn't it? You just
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: go and win. All of the rest of it.
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: As you know, Ned, when it all boils down to it,
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: the only thing that matters is the two and a
• 37:23
  Speaker 12: half hours out there at Adelaide Oval.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: Tim Silvers' conversation to the media or his statement or answers,
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it, was really interesting. Go
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: back and listen to it, Rennie, and listen to how
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: he describes Matthew Nix and how he outlines the positivities
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: around Matthew Nix's coaching. he speaks a lot about communicating,
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: building a great culture.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Um, being a good orator. It's, it's, it's really interesting.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't hear him say anything about being an excellent
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: tactical coach or being at the forefront of, of anything,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: which I just thought was interesting.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Is this the doorstop you're talking about yesterday at West Lakes?
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: With Tim Silvers.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: I'm surprised and disappointed with how the last 24 hours
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: has rolled out, but the reality is I've been in
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: this industry for 20 years. Rumor and scuttlebutt are part
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: of what we do. Um, And this is just in
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: overdrive for finals. I look at the issue for our
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: playing group and we've got belief and positivity. And I
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: see this issue might even galvanise us. Matty Nix has
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: been a great coach for our footy club. Builds great relationships.
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: He's a good communicator. Created a great culture. And he's
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: leading us into his second successful finals campaign.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: He's good. He's good.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: He'll be okay.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: And just remember... He's got.
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: Another year to go on his contract.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: You hear that, Rennie? You know why?
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Because I guarantee you he's been advised to say all
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: of those things so then if something is to happen,
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: it doesn't look like he's come back on his word
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: because he can say to this point he's done an
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: excellent job, he's built the culture to this point, look
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: at what he's achieved, but we're looking for someone to
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: take the next step in finals and that's why he
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: would have been directed.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: To say that.
• 39:00
  Speaker 12: Like you said, yeah, and you make great points. Saturday
• 39:03
  Speaker 12: night just becomes even bigger. So huge game, cannot wait
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: for it.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: You calling it?
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be there.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: You and Will Goodings, I believe.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, and Camp, I think.
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: And Mon will be on the boundary, so I cannot wait.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Anything else happening that we should touch on? Other than coaches?
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: It's pretty much footy. Other than the most dynamic, crappest
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: job in the world. Yeah. Senior coaching.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: If anyone wants to know what Tex Walker is going
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: to do post-career, where I was in a group chat
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: with him yesterday, he sent through a message, he said,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: being a senior coach of an afl team might just
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: be the worst job in the world so i don't
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: think he's going to get into that you.
• 39:34
  Speaker 12: Get paid well but there's there's obviously the drawbacks as
• 39:37
  Speaker 12: well all of this.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: I feel like the last couple of weeks it's just
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: been madness.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Isn't it full on before we let you go tommy
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: if you had the golden ticket to go to the
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: royal adelaide show and do any job there what would
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: you be doing.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: I might call the wood chopping, maybe.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Of course, he's sticking to the commentary side of things.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: You'd be so good at that, Rennie.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Well done, Rennie. Good on you, boys. You better run
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: off to your Today Show crossing your little white shirt.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: At least it's a bit warmer for you now with
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: the shorts.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: It's nice.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: On you, Tommy. 8223 0000. Still got that Royal Show
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: family pass to give away before 6 o'clock. Jump on
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: the phones. Worst roads around Adelaide. What would you be
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: doing at the Royal Adelaide Show? You can have your
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: say before 6 o'clock. Let's head out to Kidman Park. Barney,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: good morning. If I hit the button. There we go, Barney.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Go for it now.
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: How are we today?
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: Good, mate.
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: Ned, you're going to lose the house, mate.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Barney, why am I losing the house?
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: So you reckon Nick Murray will be going into state?
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: So for context, Barney's a great man. He actually was
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: living about four doors down from Mother Night.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Right. Okay.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: But he loves AA. He's a AA listener. Barney, will
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I lose Nick Murray?
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, you said that. Oh, that sounded....
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: I think there's a chance that Nick Murray might explore
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: his options, but I'm not sure, Barney.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: How would I know?
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: It's not like I spend every day with him.
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: I hope he does. He's a great man, as you know, and.
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: The crows will be worse off for it if he
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: does go.
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: But I haven't rang you guys for a while because
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: I've been doing late starts.
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: I'm an early start, so I thought I'd give you
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: a ring.
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: Just say g'day, that's all, mate.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Barney, love it when you say g'day. Can you just
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: outline what you do for a job, please, Barney?
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I do traffic control. So, yeah, different times, night shifts,
• 41:21
  Speaker 9: day shifts, all different starts. And I'm working out at
• 41:24
  Speaker 9: Bowdoin at the moment.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: We're at Del Blanc 4 and.
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: Good luck getting a car parked there now they're building
• 41:30
  Speaker 9: another two lots of 12.
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: 14-storey apartment blocks.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Barney, can I say something really rude and you promise
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: you won't get angry?
• 41:38
  Speaker 7: I'd never get angry at you, Ned.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Love you, Barney.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: Why is it when I drive past everyone doing roadworks
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: or traffic control, no one's doing anything?
• 41:47
  Speaker 9: Well, look, the traffic controllers, all we basically do is
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: set up and pack up most of the time unless
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: you're doing stop-slows. So that's why it looks like.
• 41:56
  Speaker 11: We're standing around doing nothing.
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: And the second one is if you've got workers working,
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: you might have 10 workers, but they've all got a
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: specific job. So they might start a job that might
• 42:07
  Speaker 9: take two guys to dig the hole and then they've
• 42:09
  Speaker 9: got to stand around while the other two guys put
• 42:12
  Speaker 9: in pipes and things like that. So that's the reason
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: why it looks like people are standing around doing nothing.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Two people to dig a hole?
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: No, no, no, but then you've got to put pipes
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: in and electrical wires and things like that, and then
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: you've got to fill it back up. It looks like
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: people are standing around doing nothing, but they're actually not, mate.
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: They're actually taking it in turns, and you can't just
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: come in.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: And do a job.
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: You've got to actually be there ready to go.
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: And do that specific job.
• 42:37
  Speaker 11: So it's all about timing.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Well done, Barney. Roger Dodger. He had answers for you.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: He had answers. It sounded like well-prepared lines by the
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: road workers of South Australia. If you ever get asked this,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: this is what you've got to say.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: Just be prepared barney's right it was a great answer
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: made a lot of sense but it's just crap.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Mandy and the blue brothers she's going to be very
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: awfully sad when she realizes that she slept in the
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: start of this program and she was ranked number one
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: on your top five list.
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: Mandy i can't believe it we i spoke about you
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: for about 10 minutes.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Good morning sam and ned i hope you are well
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: i am definitely not a high fiver this morning but
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: have a great day mandy and the blue brothers.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: Mandy i and those Blue Brother-ing legends. We love you,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: Mandy and the Blue Brothers.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Six to six. Frank from Bergenhead will get you on
• 43:21

  Speaker 4: Frank, good morning.
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Sam and Ned.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: If I had a job at the Royal Adelaide Show,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: my favourite job would be feeding the pigs and having
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to cuddle the dear little sweet little piglets.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice, Frank. Why do you love pigs so much?
• 44:05
  Speaker 11: I don't know, I.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Just liked them, you know, I just liked them. My
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: friend had a farm many years ago and he had pigs.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: They're very intelligent animals, as you probably know, and they
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: can also make, you know, great pets. Even the girl
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: that one of the girls on the farm had a
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: pet piglet. Yeah, they're just lovable animals, very lovely animals.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Frank, love your work. Do you have kids or grandkids
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: that want to go to the show? Would you be
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: going to the show?
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: No, mate, no, no, no, mate. I'm married but with
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: no kids, mate, no. Oh, no kids.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: No, mate.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: No, she couldn't have kids, mate.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, Frank, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you want
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: to have kids?
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a bit late now.
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: I'm 70.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 44:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no, mate, no.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Life has mysterious ways of throwing different things at you,
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: doesn't it?
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, mate. Yeah, that's true. But, you know, there's more
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: to life than kids. You know, there's still, you know,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I've been married, you know, 40 years.
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Happily married 40 years.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: What's the secret to a 40-year marriage, Frank?
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: That's a good knock, mate.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Look, you know, finding the right woman.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Not going to bed angry?
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: Sorry?
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Not going to bed angry?
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: No, look, whenever we have a disagreement, we sit down, mate,
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: and talk about the problem. Too many people in this
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: world attack the problem, right? They attack the person and
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: not the problem.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:41
  Speaker 17: Yep.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Great advice, Frank. Love your work as always, mate.
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: Well done, Frank.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: We love hearing from you in the morning, so thanks
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: for that.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: And keep it up.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: I got told from someone who was married for about
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: 50 years, I said, never go to bed angry, Ned,
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: and you'll be fine.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Good advice.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Simple. Before we get out of here, Matty and the
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Blue Brothers, I'm so sorry I missed the start. My
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: day is going to be all wrong now. Can I
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: have a pass? I was assisting with a farewell of
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: much-loved dog last night.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: Nice work.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: Rex also said that why isn't he number one? Because
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: he's the original Rex. It's because you don't have a pet, Rex,
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure, from Highbury. We were ranking the 5AA listeners.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: Pets, mate, not people. If it was people, he'd be
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: number one by a landslide.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Wow, you've really just annoyed the high-fivers now. But we're
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: out of here. Stace and Will for 5AA Breakfast. Back
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: tomorrow from five for a fun Friday.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
