  Speaker 2: 25 with some showers. Monday, 29 with some showers. Currently
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: in the city, it is 10.2 degrees. And if you've
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: just woken up this morning, you haven't heard about what's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: going on in the cricket, we'll get into it in
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: far more depth with Tommy Wren after half past five.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: But Jeez, the Aussies. They're doing some stuff over in
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: South Africa. So they started the day trailing the Proteas
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: by 329 runs. At the end of play yesterday, well,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: early morning hour time this morning, Four for 340, currently
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: leading South Africa by a run. Matt Renshaw got 74.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Travis Head, 41. Cameron Green, 65. Currently Josh Inglis, not out, 85.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Alex Carey also at the crease, 51. This is Alex
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Carey knocking up his 50.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Beautifully cover driven.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: That's save your legs late in the day.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: 50 for Alex Carey, well deserved.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: It's been patient, it's been committed, and it is exactly
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: what his country needed. 14.50, he's got three hundreds, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: that is in innings of great grit from the South Australian.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Audio, thanks to Fox Cricket there. And what everyone was
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: waiting to hear, Marnus Labouchet, five-bowl duck. Neddy, good morning.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I feel for Marnus.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Do you?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, professional sports are cutthroat industry, but people are people,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and there'd be a lot of pressure on him.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I guess in a professional sporting environment, you're never going
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to admit that you're properly out of form and you
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: need to go back to the seconds, are you? You're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: always going to fight for the spot in the high end.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So someone else has to do it for him. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's proving now, Minus, go back to Shield.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Get your form back.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: It might be the time. Hello to all the high-fivers.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Happy Thursday?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: It's Thursday, isn't it?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It is Thursday, Ned.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I think it is Thursday. That's great. We're nearing the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: end of the week. Not that I want the week
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to end, but it's more a celebration of what's been
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and the couple of days that are still to come.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Mandy and the Blue Brothers. Good morning, Ned, Sam, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the High Fivers. I hope you are all well. What
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: are our subjects for this morning, she asked on the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: text line.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Mandy, you've got to just keep listening, Mandy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I will try and do it all in one text
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: instead of 50. Have a great show, Mandy, and the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Blue Brothers.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Mandy.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They grow organically throughout the show, Mandy.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Let's talk that through there, Mandy. Firstly, I don't even
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: know what's going to be on the show in 15 minutes,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: let alone 45 minutes.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Neither do I.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: They just come. If someone wants to talk about something
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that's on their mind and talk about it with listeners,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: please get in touch, 8223 0000. And, Mandy, we like
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the constant dialogue.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Please.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: If it was just one text at the start, that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: would be boring. We love when you pop in with
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: your thoughts, qualms, and queries. Mickey says, good morning, Tuggers
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and Innovator Nettie. A couple of things wrong there. Now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you're not tuggers, are you? You're daddo.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, we do get confused a little bit. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: had someone rock up for mornings on Tuesday saying, Sam,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I really like you with KG on a Sunday morning
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: on the roast. And I just thought, do I take
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: this or do I correct him? I corrected him. But yes,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: me and tuggers do get confused a bit.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, different Sam there. Ned, you said that you wanted
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: to plan a speed dating event in the future for
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: the High Fivers. As someone who has an events business,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I'd like to offer my services for you to assist. Mickie,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: this is exciting. He says, I've got a few good
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: ideas in mind and the location to die for. Let's
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: get a High Five couple. A great idea from a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: great innovative mind like myself. Let's do this. Mickie. So,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Mickey has an events company. Now, Mickey, do you really
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: have an events company, or is this just a cheeky
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: kind of suggestion to try and get a lot of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: high-fivers back at your house or at a local pub
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: or something? Not sure. The 5AA early breakfast speed dating
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: event is on the calendar. We just have to get
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: this OB done with Rob. That's the only final straw.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I called the station manager yesterday, Rob, and I said
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to him, mate, this is urgent. And he said, I'm
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: doing forecasts and budgets for Sydney for next year. We're
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: organising all the talent, et cetera. I said, mate, put
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: all of that on the side. We have to get
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: this OB done. He said he'll get back to me today,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: so I'll let you know how that goes. That's my
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: rampage this morning.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: God, you rabble on, don't you?
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been on a bit of a monologue. Let's
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: make it a bit more interactive. How was your day yesterday?
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: What are you doing?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: What's news? Let's head out to Port Augusta. Johnny, what's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on the cricket overnight?
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good, boys. I watched it till about... I'm
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: trying to watch it too. I went to bed about
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: four for just over 200. And I thought, yeah, at
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: least they're fighting on. But I want to talk about
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: the sports show last night. I normally listen to the
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: sports show, the Mighty Five Double A sports show. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: I'm fuming. There was this bloke ring up. I want
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: to clarify.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I do not have anything against young Jimmy Rowe.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I quite like Jimmy Rowe. I really do. And this
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: bloke said you can build a club with him. Build
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: a club around him at an AFL level. He's another
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Marco Tudor. Now, come on. Poor sports. And I was
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: disappointed in Sam Togwell. and Jimmy D. So, good call, Michael.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Good call. Well, it's a lot of rubbish. And, John,
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: let's be realistic. Michael Shero is in the best... I've
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: been watching the old XFL, the old VFL, into AFL
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: for probably 50 years. I'm 58. And Michael Shero's in
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: the best 10 to 12 players I've ever seen. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: along with Aaron McLeod, comfortably called best ever player. Jimmy
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Rowe's a terrific young bloke. Terrific young player. But he's
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: not in the best... 300 pounds on the chain.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: All right, Johnny, you've had your say there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Thank you, John. That's good. John kind of uses this
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: program just to.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Event about other programs?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, double down on what was discussed on the sports program,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: which is fine. As I said, you can talk about
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to talk about. We just need to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: monitor time, John, so everyone gets their go. Amber at
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: North Haven.
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: Oh, good morning, boys.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Morning, Amber.
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: Amen.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Well, it's getting a bit risque this morning, unless I'm
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: taking it the wrong way. You might have to take
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: the show back an hour to four o'clock if it
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: keeps this up.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: What was a bit cheeky, the whole speed dating thing, Amber?
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: Well, yes. I mean, going back to Rick's place.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: How old is he, do you know?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Amber, no, I wasn't suggesting some kind of keys-in-the-bowl operation.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: It was just a... It wasn't one big 5AA party.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It was a structured, speed-dating, formal kind of event.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: Oh, that'd be a hoot. Yeah, I'd be in on
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: that as long as there's... red wine and cheese and
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: bickies to go with it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Amber, leave this with me. Trust me.
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: Yes, I'll put my cheese in the bowl, my gopher cheese.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, Amber, no, no, no, no.
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: Wow. Oh, God. We're going to.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Start putting this show on at 11 o'clock at night.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: You cheeky, cheeky chook.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: Oh, God. Yeah, no, I'm awake most of the night, so...
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I do want fresh air. Oh, no, you guys are
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: a hoot. I just love you. Keep on going.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, Amber.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Amber. We might need to straighten.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Up slightly, organising a five-day early breakfast.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: On the text line, Peter from Marlston goes, Hi, guys,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: what's going on in the SACA? Well, day one, Western Australia,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: three for 304 they lead by. Not going too well
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: for South Australia currently. That game's currently going on at
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Adelaide Oval. Again, we'll have the very latest with Tom
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Wren after half-past five. I do love this text from Rob.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned for all the cricket with Tom. Then tells
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: us about all the cricket. So, Tom, you can update
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: us on karate, it seems. Well, Rob, once again, went
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: into a bit of a cricket update because Ned wasn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in the studio. That's how that works.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I spilled a coffee, Rob. It was everywhere. So I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: had to roll in a little late, team. That's all good.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Rob also brings up the point about the Christmas breakup lunch.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: They're coming up. Work Christmas break up lunch.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: They're coming quick.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: What's your work event story? 8223 0000. Rob's just popped
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: it on the text line. We love any caller that's
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: created from a caller, ironically. Has anything happened at a
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Christmas lunch or something like that with your work? And
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: what do you bring? What do you bring to something
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: like that?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Do you bring anything?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: To a work Christmas lunch?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Isn't that all put on by the company? It's the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: one day of the year that you don't have to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: bring a thing?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I would have thought there'd be a story, though, from
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: someone around something.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Would they be PG rated, though? Yeah. What do you mean?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Discussing keys in the bowl. This could go anywhere this morning.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Let's straighten up.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: It's 5.14.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: No more swinger chat, please. It's actually inappropriate.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: This is inappropriate, Sammy.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Lyndon on the text line. If there was a high-fiver
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: baby as a result of the speed dating exercise, what
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: show-related names are there?
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Good idea. Okay. Let's brainstorm that one, Lyndon. I think
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: it's a reasonable question to ask, though, and I will
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: think about it. Speaking of babies, what?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Just love the transition.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Go on. Well, that was a smooth segue. You don't
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: have to go to radio school for that one, buddy.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: My best mate, or one of my best mates, is
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: hopefully having a child today. Now, exciting news. I want
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: to share it with the high-fivers before anyone else. I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: think I'm a godparent. I'm a godfather. So, you know,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: hopefully everything goes well today. I'm sure it will. I
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: will be a godparent.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Has your responsibilities been all lined out? Do you know
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: what it entails as being a godfather?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: This is what I wanted to ask you and ask
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the listeners.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have a clue. It's going to be the
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: high-fivers to help us.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the high-fivers might know. Do you have godparents?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: No, I don't.
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Never had them. So what is it? What am I?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know either. I was given a card saying,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: would you be our daughter's godparent? I said, oh my goodness,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: I'm honoured. I'd absolutely do that. Does it mean that
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: you're the kind of point of contact if something absolutely
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: tragic is to happen to the parents?
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Is that what a godparent is?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I think so, but again, I'm not 100% sure.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not in a position to look after a child
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: right now, Sammy.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Seriously. Well, the plan would be that you're not.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: No, of course.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I know that. But yeah, it's... What do you think
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: about godparents, team? 8223 0000. Have you got godparents? And
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: if you've had a child or you know of any
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: grandchildren or anything like that, do you do godparents? Do
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: you assign a godparent? Would love to know about that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: How does it work?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Jump on the phones.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: 8223 0000 044808 1395.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: 16 after 5. Quick break. Get those calls in. Back
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: in a moment. Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Nineteen after five on this Thursday. Five fivers, 8223 0000.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Before the break, you were asking about godparents. There were
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: a couple of texts there, Nettie. Is that giving you
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: any clarity?
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Fantastic. So Tim from Neurie.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: Hey, Tim.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Good morning to you.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Thanks.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: He said, Morning, Sam and Ned. Traditionally, godparents are a
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: fallback if the child loses both parents. The godparents will
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: bring up the child in their family. Religiously, the godparents
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: assist with bringing up the child in the faith until
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: adulthood when the child takes on their own religious responsibility.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Heavy for this time of the morning.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Dot, dot, dot.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Tim from Newry. Thanks, mate. Good answer. I thought it
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: was along those lines, but I didn't know if there
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: was any kind of tricky little bits and boblies regarding
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: the Godfather duties. You're smiling. What are you smiling at?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I was reading Rob's text.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: What did he have?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Ned, we need to talk. Let me start with this.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: It's not you, it's me. Sure, there was a time
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: when the thought of getting together, we could think about...
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Now I'm struggling to read it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: To do this job, you need to be able to read.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do it then.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Sure, there was a time when the thought of getting
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: together was all we could think about, but now you
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: must realise that like a Bickford sponsorship, it can never be.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But remember, Ned, we'll always have high five to keep
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: us warm at night. So as you look at those
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: keys in the bowl, I know it's all right to
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: move on, but slowly. Rob, are you suggesting that we're
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: not doing the OB at your house? You better bloody
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: not be, mate, because we are.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Sammy?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I've got a question for you, Nettie. Is there any
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: sort of life skills that most people should know or
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: be able to do but you never learnt, never got taught,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: never had a reason to need to know?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: This is very good, Sammy.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Because I put it to you.
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Ironing. Ironing a shirt. Never done it before. Living at home,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Dad always ironed the shirts, and Dad still does. Still
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: to this day, I'll go home, right? You'll love this.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: No, Sam.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: And get him to iron a shirt for me, because
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: in my place, I don't have an iron or an
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: ironing board, right?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: The amazing thing about this and about you, Sam, is
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: that you'll come on air and say it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm happy to.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: That's what I love about you.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Happy to.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Because that is embarrassing, but you don't care.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't give a stuff.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: You couldn't give a stuff.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: So, but it all turns to poop. When my parents
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: are away for three weeks, I need a shirt for
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: this weekend.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Sam, how old are you?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm 31 this year.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: This is so concerning.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So yesterday, and on principle, I wasn't going to pay
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: someone else to iron it or press it at the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: dry cleaner. I thought, I'm almost 31. I can do
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: this myself. God, you do sound mature. I went back
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to my parents away because I don't own any ironing
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: boards or whatever. And I found out a lot of
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: my mates also don't have an iron or an ironing board.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Must be a sign of the times. I went back
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to mum and dad's, started to try and do it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: was absolutely cocking it up. FaceTime dad, talk me through it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Had a nice little father-son bonding moment over FaceTime. He
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: was getting a bit annoyed at me because I wasn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: following the instructions correctly in my defense. He's terrible at
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: giving instructions over FaceTime. But is there any life lessons,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: any skills in life that you just think is a
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: prerequisite to living and you've just never needed to or
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: had to learn? 8223 0000 044808 1395. Great caller.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: It's a great caller. Skills that you never learnt, skills
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: that you've just learnt. What's something you can't do that
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: you should be able to do? Absolutely fantastic. I cannot
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: believe that you don't do your own ironing.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't need to do my own ironing. This
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: is the thing. The outset of a... And I don't
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: have a lot of room. I'm not putting an ironing
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: board in my joint. I can't be stuffed. Dad's retired.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: It gives him something to do when I need a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: shirt ironed. I'm giving my dad something to do. I'm
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: thinking of him. So what about other skills, Sammy? Could
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you change a light bulb?
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: Oh, easily.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Mate, no. This was the funniest thing out of all
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: of it. Out of me and my brother, I'm the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: one that's most practical. So I went back to mum
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and dad's. I'd been away for a while. I'd mowed
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: their lawns. It was getting a bit crazy. I wanted
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: to do that, help them out. I cleaned up the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: backyard for them. Mowing the lawns?
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: How did you work that one out?
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Get stuff, Ned. So when they get home, they don't
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: have to worry about it. I'm the one that's always
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: been the handyman around home. I will fix things up
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: if needed.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: What have you fixed apart from the lawns?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I've had to put curtain rails up for mum.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I've had to fix some holes in the wall. That's good.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: You have this perception of me, Ned, who's just an
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: incompetent fool who sits behind the radio. It couldn't be
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: further from the truth. So I'm the handy one.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: My brother, no.
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: No.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Not at all. My mother sounded so concerned on the
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: phone yesterday, she was almost begging me, pleading me to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: take my shirt to a dry cleaner because she just
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: didn't want me to ruin it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: But dad and I got there in the end.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I outsourced the ironing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you want to have a go at me
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: and you don't even do it yourself. I've never. Old
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: muddy bags McHenry. Get someone else to do it for him.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Straight to the dry cleaners, mate. Chris from Surrey Downs.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Hello, Chris.
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: Good morning. Improvise, overcome and adapt. If you haven't got
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: an iron, use a saucepan. Heat it up and use
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: the bottom part of it, which is warm, and do it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: You don't need anything to put your shirts or anything
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: like that on it. You've got a table. Put it
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: on top of that or put a towel on top
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: of that, then put your gear on top of that
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: and start ironing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: What about the steam in the bathroom, Chris?
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: Say again?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: The steam in the bathroom? If you're having a shower,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you can hang it up, can't you?
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you can hang it up.
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: You just simplify it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: So long as it looks half decent, you've got it made.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Love your work, Chris. Is there a skill that you
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: never learnt that you should have?
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: No, shall we say the guys I used to work with,
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: we used to overcome a lot of things.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I would say that means Chris is pretty happy with
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: all the skills he's got acquired over his time.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Very mysterious, though.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Peter at Parrot Hills, hello.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Good morning, boys. I would like to have known how
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: to cook a roast.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, righto.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, on basics. Cooked will all be breakfasts, et cetera,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: but I do buy a lot of hot packs because
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I'm on my own. Peter, Peter. But not just to roast,
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: whether lamb, beef or whatever, or pork. And I know
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: you can put them in a Weber. I know you
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: can put them in a Weber.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Why is it too late to learn?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Well, it's never too late, but it's... There you go.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: If you're on your own, well, it's never too late,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: but it's the same with you if you're on it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I'm getting there, though.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I'm getting there.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I've got one shirt over your roast, so I'm getting there.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: No, Peter.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, that's fair enough. That's all right. At least
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: you tried.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: You sorted him out there. He tried to get on
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: the high horse, didn't he? But you sorted him out
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: there beautifully, Peter.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: Well, that's all right. You asked for a challenge, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I'll try to give one back. So that's the way
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: it goes.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Well done, Peter.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Good morning, boys.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, mate.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, this is a great caller. Chris from North Adelaide.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: He said, embarrassingly, I cannot reverse a trailer attached to
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: a car.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I can do that.
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: Chris?
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Mate, I don't know whether you're a boy or girl, Chris.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Doesn't matter. Either way.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Get him to the farm and Nettie will teach you.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: You can't be an adult and not be able to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: reverse a trailer.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, big coal. Big coal. I reckon a lot of
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: people won't be able to do that.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: No way. There wouldn't be anyone else who can't reverse
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: a trailer. You need that skill. That is 100% something
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: you need to know how to do. Are you serious?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: You just mentioned it. Mandy said on the text line,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I love Arnie. but you can hang your shirt in
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the bathroom when you have a shower. The steam tends
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: to get the wrinkles out. Also, just hang your clothes
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: up on the hanger to dry, sort it. So that's
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: what I did. I started off by hanging it up
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: wet to try and eliminate most of the creases. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: also put it up in the bathroom whilst having a shower.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Problem is, for the wedding I'm going to, we're not
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: wearing a jacket, so the shirt needs to look crisp.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: So I think I've gotten away with it. But they're
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: very good, interesting points, Mandy, that I've done as well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000 044808 1395. Jump on the phones. Michael and Ross, Trevor,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: good morning.
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: Good morning, lads. One of life's lessons is, do you
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: remember being taught how to tie your shoelaces?
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: It's a long time ago, isn't it? Anyway, ironing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Can you tie your own shoelaces, Michael? Is that a
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: life skill that you don't have?
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: Oh, I didn't have it when I was three.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: Fair enough.
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: And in regards to your ironing, upgrade to a steam iron.
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: It's the best of the world of ironing shirts. It
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: takes it to another level. Nice and crisp.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: And also, Ned, I quite agree with you. Everybody should
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: learn how to drive a truck and trailer. and then
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: they'll learn how to back up a trailer, and they'll
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: also understand traffic management when they're driving.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I think so, Michael.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I think changing a tyre should be a requirement as well.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we had a text on that, and I
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: can't remember who it was from. It might have been Rob. Yeah,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I think changing a tyre should be part of a
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: driving test. I agree. That was another thing Dad taught me.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I remember it was 2005 because my grandfather had just passed.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: We had his old vehicle at our place, flat tyre.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Dad thought, right-o, right-o, teachable moment. Change the tyre, Bob's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: your uncle.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: You should have to learn that during your driver's test.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Sally at Hillcrest.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Hello, hello.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: How are you, boys?
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Good, Sal.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Never been better, Sal.
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: Ned, you're talking about not being able to reverse a trailer.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: Well, I couldn't until my partner worked with me on
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: how to do it. But he's actually made himself a
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: side business of towing food trucks because a lot of
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: people who have food trucks cannot reverse it into tight
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: spots or into positions, and he does.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So he's a gun for hire for food trucks?
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: For reversing.
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: And he'll take them to where they've got to be,
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: and then he's a.
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: I have not seen anyone reverse like he can. He
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: can get anything into anywhere.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Nah, I'd beat him.
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: I doubt it. I'd love to see you two have.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: A race with it. So, 5AA reverse off. This has
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: got to be in and around the time of the
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Rob OB, the swingers party, and there's going to be
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: a lot going on that week. But I am going
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: to take your husband on in a reverse off.
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: You know where you need to be, Ned? Next year,
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: you need to go up to Copaco Show. because they
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: actually have a competition up there where it's reversing a caravan.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, I wouldn't.
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: And they loan you the ute and the caravan, so
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: everyone's doing the competition in the exact same vehicle. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: keep trying to tell him he should go in it. But, yeah,
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: it'd be interesting. Some of the people I was watching
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: at this year's show trying to reverse it. Yeah, it's
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: definitely a skill. I can do a basic trailer, but, yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: there's no way I'd do a food truck there. They're painful. But, yeah,
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: he's just a part reversing. I reckon you two should
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: take each other on. That would be funny.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: That would be fun. All right, let's give it a go,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: either before or after that other event. Dave at Redwood Park, hello.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Why would you want to learn to iron?
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Take a tip from an old-fashioned Yorkshire lad.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Find yourself a good partner.
• 23:33
  Speaker 12: Offer to do the ironing.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Burn the favourite garment in day one.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: Never learn to iron again.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I think some people share your views about the domestic duties, Dave,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: but in 2026 you kind of can't go, oh, yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: what a ripping idea.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it works, mate, just, mate. No, no.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I think share the duties. Share the duties. Look, I'm
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the least woke person ever, but share the duties. Mind you,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: my girlfriend does all mine.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Look at you taking the moral high ground on ironing.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be a bit 2026. But it
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: turns out to be the girlfriend does it or the
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: laundry man, the dry cleaner does it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Sam, you and I are both, you know, fearlessly honest
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: on this show. I don't pretend to be anyone else.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying that, you know, I'm trying to do
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: the whole, you've got to do the right thing. And
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I think that is right. You can't expect someone else
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: to do all your ironing, but my girlfriend does all mine.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing. Growing up, well, I rang
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: mum to start with. I need help with this shirt.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: She goes, Sam, I haven't ironed in 30 years.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: So your dad does it all?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Call your dad. So I rang dad. That's the honor.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: So I might be wrong. Mom's probably listening and she'll
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure mom used
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: to iron dad's shirts. He didn't like how she used
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: to iron them or iron the collar and he got
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: fed up and he just took over all the ironing duties.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: So that's one way to get out of ironing if
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: you're in a relationship. Be bad at it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Really good idea. What about this text from 229? Listen up, 229.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: I'd bet you in a reversing competition, no question. It's
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: just whether I could do it blindfolded or not.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: These callers who think they could out-reverse me, Sally from
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Hillcrest's husband and this texter 229, seriously, bring it on.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Bring it on, mate. Now this is a problem. You're
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: going to start to get hungry now because people are
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: sending in the photo of their roasts.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Look at that.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a nice pork. Who did that?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Brooksy from Tea Tree Gully. More than happy to go
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and help Pete from Power Hills to learn to cook
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: a roast. One of the best things on a Sunday.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Pete seems like a ripper bloke, so happy to assist him.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Look at that. Look at that crackle.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Brooksy, you've done the salt there and dried out that
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: crackle on the top of your pork. Looks good, mate.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: You'd be horrified at the sight of that, Sam, wouldn't you?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. Chris, who says he couldn't
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: reverse park. He followed up, in my defence, I'm a
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: bloody good gas and MIG welder. That takes up for
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: not being able to reverse a trailer.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Are you a boilermaker, Chris, are you? Or is that
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: just a hobby skill? Geez, good skill to have, mate.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Not many people can do that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: What's a skill, folks, that you've never learnt? 8223 0000.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Something you can't do that you think you should have learnt.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: This one's a lot of fun, so get involved.
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you. 24 minutes to 6 on this Thursday morning,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: going for a top of 25 degrees, mostly sunny, currently
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: 9.7 in the city. We're asking you what some life
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: skills that you had never been able, well, never had
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: to learn or learnt along the way. This comes off
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: of me not being able to iron a shirt, but
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I was able to accomplish that goal yesterday afternoon with
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: help from my father, Rob from Clearview. Back in my
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: army days, we had regular comps where you had to
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: guide a Land Rover towing a trailer back through an
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: obstacle course of cones using hand signals only. No talking.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: If they had to drive forward three times, you're out.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a goodie. What's something that you think everyone
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: should learn as well? Like a few texters have said
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: changing a tyre. I think that's a good one.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Boiling an egg.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Reversing a tyre, boiling an egg. I still think some
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: handy household chores. With trade shortages and, you know, the
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: price of getting something fixed these days, you simply must
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: teach your grandchildren or your kids how to perform simple
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: household tasks, changing a light bulb, repairing some plaster, painting,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: you know, no gapping, whatever it is, landscaping, simple stuff.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: You must learn it. Julia Blakeview, hello.
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Sammy and Ned.
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: Hello.
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: I would love to be more computer savvy, but when
• 27:43
  Speaker 12: you have a husband who is a computer genius, I
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: just don't bother to do it, and I should. But
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: when I have him, why should I learn?
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good point. You're a team together, aren't you?
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes.
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I can cook. He doesn't have to cook.
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: You know, he never has to worry about cooking. But, yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 12: he's just.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: So good with computers.
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: I mean, he builds his own computers, and he loves
• 28:12
  Speaker 12: gaming and all of that. So the one that he's
• 28:15
  Speaker 12: just finished not long ago building, it's... all lights up
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: and flashing lights and it's got a water cooler and
• 28:21
  Speaker 12: everything in it. So, yeah, he's just a real computer
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: genius and he fixes anybody who has trouble. He goes
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: and helps them. And I'm just like, how do you
• 28:30
  Speaker 12: do this? And if I ask him something that happened yesterday,
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: he couldn't tell me. But if I mention computers like
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: it's all in his head, it's just there. So I
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: just would love to be more computer savvy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Nice work, Julie. It's a good skill to know. I
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: certainly don't have it either. Mike at O'Sullivan Beach. Hello
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: from that beautiful part of the world down south there.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is gorgeous.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: My ex-wife never learnt how to make love properly.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, Mark, is that dumped or not?
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to dump it.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, Mike.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Mikey, Mikey.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: This is really laying on what sort of... What happened, Mike?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Was it a tactical thing? I reckon we're not going
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: to go back to Mike.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe you didn't like each other that much. Seriously, if
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: you're in love, making love is easy, Mike.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: It's been an interesting.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Do you want to know why, Ned? It's been a
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: sexual show. I drove in this morning and it looked
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: like we had a full moon overnight.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, the werewolves are out this morning, folks. I reckon
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: it's the full moon.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: And they're a little toey. We need to straighten up.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: 5.39.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Tom Wren's going to be in shortly. Sammy, isn't he
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: with sport?
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: That's if he is in shortly. He might be stuck
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: in traffic, you know, busy on the roads this morning. Halloween, Neddy.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Halloween this weekend. Do you give a stuff about Halloween?
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: What's going on with Halloween? It's gotten popular. When did
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: that happen?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 29:51
  Speaker 12: Now, Aussies, a tip to spend an arm and a
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: leg on all things spooky this Halloween.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Retail experts say many families are chasing a sugar hit
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: as the economy bites.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Halloween enthusiasts splurging a scary half a billion dollars on
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: spooky spoils.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Your baby is chewing on a rat. Yes. Quite tasty.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Your rodents are quite tasty, aren't they, Theodore? We've had
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: some animatronics, sort of the bigger ones.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: They've all sold out already this year, showing you how
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: popular it's become. So, yeah, it's been fantastic so far.
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: What do you think you might spend on Halloween this year?
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: It depends if my husband's watching or not. Maybe, like, $ 5, 000.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: To $ 1, 000?
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: 4.4 million mums, dads and kids going all out for
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: All Hallows' Eve.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: The trends, obviously, you know, you've got your scary costumes
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: for adults and kids, but then also, you know, leaning
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: into popular culture.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Audio thanks to 7 News. So it sounds like Halloween
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: has never been as popular in Australia.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: How?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I can't get my head around why people want to
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: celebrate Halloween in Australia. I understand that if you headed
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: to America and you got to experience the full version
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: of it and what it's like over there and you
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: got really into it, sure. But here, really?
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: But children, they don't care about the same things that
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: full-grown adults care about. For example, if you took them
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: on a beautiful holiday and you went to Europe and
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: you were overlooking a cliff with amazing scenery, all they
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: would give us stuff about is the ice cream you're
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: getting after the walk. That's how a kid's mind works.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: So if you say to them, hey, on this day
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: after school, we're going to get a bunch of candy,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: they're going to lose their marbles.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: And then they.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Drive the intensity around looking forward to it, to parents, grandparents,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: whatever it is.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: This is what happens.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Kids have gotten used to getting all these lollies, and
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: they've told their parents it's a normal thing to do
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: in Australia.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: What the heck's Halloween?
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Why do we celebrate it?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I just don't get it. 8223 0000, do you know
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: anyone who does celebrate Halloween? Or you just can't stand
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: it either. Who loves it? I feel like it would
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: be the latter. Is there anyone who's cut a.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Face into a pumpkin or something? Or gotten their lollies organised?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: What the heck are you doing? And why do you
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: do it?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: And what happens if people are knocking on your door
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: this weekend for chocolates? Trick or treat?
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Sammy, good one.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do? Are you organised or
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: you just say trick?
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Hitting them with a trick's good.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Imagine the kids' faces if you actually said trick. They're
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: not going to be prepared, surely.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Do a handstand, young fella. You're not getting a candy bar. Halloween. Bizarre.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Back to life skills that you haven't been able to learn.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Buckets on the text line makes a really good point.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Morning legs. Never been able to knot a tie. Tie
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: a knot. Prick of a job. Always leave them tied up.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Squeeze them over the ears. Cheese buckets.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Buckets, why are you called Buckets? Why is that your nickname?
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Text back and tell us why you're called Buckets.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Tying a tie, though, that's a good one.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: That's a really good one. Yeah. Can you tie a tie?
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Back when I was at uni, I had to wear
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: one flying.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, of course you did. Yeah, nice work. I
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: had to wear one to school, so I kind of
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: learnt it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Rob the cynic as ever, though. Halloween is to fill
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: a marketing gap between Father's Day and Christmas. We all
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: fall for it.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: What is a skill that you never thought you'd acquire?
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: My wife loves a splash of colour in her hair,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: so now I can do hair colours, but my line
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: is doing her nails, says Rob. Wow, Rob, that's a
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: good one, putting a bit of splash of colour in Mrs.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Lehman's hair. Oh, I just said his last name.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: That's all right, isn't it?
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Is it Rob Lehman?
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Is that your full name, Rob?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I guess so.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, shivers. I shouldn't have done that. That's when Shrek goes,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I should not have done that. I should not have
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: done that. Tommy Wren's in the studio.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Tommy Wren, save us, please, Tommy. The latest in sports
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: with Tom Wren. Any skills you don't know what to do, Tommy?
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Boys, we don't have long enough.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Go on, give us a couple. Come on, Wren.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Come on. Can't iron.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not the only one.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Can't iron. But, you know, that's why when you... If
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you can afford to do it, you get other people
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: to do it for you. So you take it to
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: the dry cleaner.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: Dry cleaner?
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Must be nice. All of that stuff.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: You can tie your own ties, though. No one's doing
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: a bad nine for you, either. I can tie a tie.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Actually, Sammy, thank you. That's one skill I can actually do.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: There aren't too many others, though, that I can do. So, yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty bad.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty bad.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Love your work.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: But Halloween, I get it, and I understand, and a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: lot of people are probably against it, but I've got
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: young boys... Charlie's actually eight today. Happy birthday, Charlie. He
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: won't be up, but happy birthday.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Not just yet. He will be soon because he'll be
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: pretty excited. But they love it. And, like, they all
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: go for a walk.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: And the way you can identify is people get those,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you know, toy spiderwebs or whatever.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: They drop them over there.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: Letterbox or whatever to say we are a part of
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: the Halloween. And some communities.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I thought it was the light would be on.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Or something like that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Something like that, yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: But some streets or areas, they all sort of get
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: behind it, and then that way you go.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: For a bit of a walk, you know, for a
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: kilometre or so.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: And it's great.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: And so we buy a heap of lollies and stuff
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: as well so that if kids come around, you know, yeah.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: But I get it.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, when there's small groups together, I think it's–
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Pretty cute for the kids to get together.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: But it is very Americanised and all that. I get
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: it as well.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not a parent, Rennie, so I don't see that
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: moment where they get excited, they hang out as a
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: group of people, and a good neighbourhood feel, too, that
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: you can knock on a stranger's door.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: That's what I love.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: That's what I love, yeah. And then it just gets that, oh,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and... like perhaps older people that haven't got
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: kids or they've got kids that have left, they get
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: right into it, you know, because they're really happy to
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: see young people, you know, with smiles on their face.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Et cetera. So that's nice.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: No, that's awesome, Manny.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Well said. Tommy. Yes. What about last night? I went
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: to bed early again, as always. Two for 90 we were.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Trav just got out and I just thought again, okay,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: this is it. I'm not putting myself through any more
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: of this. Woke up this morning, four for 330.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: They're in the lead, Sammy.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: In the lead by a run. Josh Inglis still at
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: the crease on 85. Alex Carey on 51. This is
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: how he knocked it up.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Beautifully cover driven.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: That's save your legs late in the day.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: 50 for Alex Carey.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Well deserved.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: It's been patient. It's been committed.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: And it is exactly what his country needed.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: 1450.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: He's got 300s.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: And that.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: He's in innings of a great grit from the South Australian.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Audio thanks to Fox Sports. Matt Renshaw at the top
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: of the order, 74. Good for an opener. Trav, 41,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: but I still feel like he's doing his job. That's
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: all right. Cameron Green, 65. However, the one who didn't
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: fire yet again. Marnus Labouchet, five-ball duck.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I think it just guarantees, and poor Marnus, he just looks,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: and then you would have played yourself or had teammates
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: when you just know confidence is completely shot. His feet,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: they look like lead boots out there. The poor guy,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: you feel sorry for him. He will not play in
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: the first test in Australia.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: But doesn't it get to a point where you've just
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: got to put him out of his misery? He's not
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: helping anyone, and it's just battering himself as well.
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and he would know. So he will not play.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: In the first test, but all of a sudden, after
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: all the ranting and raving from idiots like me yesterday...
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Great decision from the Aussies to bowl first.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, unreal.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Had faith in them all along.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I do think they got a bit fortunate with, for example,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: even Ackerman, who opened the batting, made a great 95,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: but he.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: Threw his wicket away. Like, threw it away.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: So they got fortunate.
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: But.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: They got a couple of those, yeah.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: That's the game. Now they take it.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: And now that the Aussies, Sam and Ned, you're right,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: They've got the foot on South Africa's throat.
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: Now they've just got to ram it home. Another 200, Sammy?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: Which is really possible. Like, these two look set.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time I've seen an Australian
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: scorecard on the batting line-up, and it looks decent.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's really good because a lot of guys
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: that you'd have question marks over, Cam Green, you know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that was solid.
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Renshaw, like you said, he looks so assured at the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: top of the order. There's your opening partnership. Or, Sammy,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and then Inglis and Kerrick. You know, we were saying
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: there could be two, three changes for the first test,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: but Labashain will come out. It might simply be Labashain
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: for Steve Smith. Do we think Steve Smith is... Yeah.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I think he's still there, but you're right. It is
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: starting to come down. Do we know what he's done
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: to his neck? Do we know how he did it
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: or what's wrong with it?
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: It's obviously bad, though, if he couldn't play. He wouldn't
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: have known how big this test match was. But then,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: or do you go down the path of, is it Constance?
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Cam Bancroft makes 100 yesterday. Nathan McSweeney, if he can
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: make some runs, he's got to make 100 in this
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: shield match that they're playing at Adelaide Oval at the moment.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: he could potentially come in for Marnus Labuschagne. So, look,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: this does help them. If they win this match, it's
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: significant for Australia. We'll wait and see how the rest
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: of it plays out, but that was a big day
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: of batting yesterday. Been a long time, Sammy, since we've
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: batted a full 90 overs and looked really comfortable and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: really assured. Only lost four wickets, so that's a great day.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Four for 330 heading into tomorrow, which is massive.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: And I just realised, when was the last time in
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: a day's play of a Test match we got 90
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: overs in? Yeah, exactly.
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: What?
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: And isn't that good? That's what it should be. It
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: really should be that. Now, Ned also.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Looks like the draw or the fixture will come out today,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: the AFL fixture.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: In its entirety.
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: In its entirety. So Crows, I think, kick off against
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: GWS at home.
• 39:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: And we would think GWS are going to be struggling,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: given all the players they've lost in the off-season. That said,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: we know Adam Kingsley always has them pretty fired up.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: And Port Adelaide away again. Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I think they started their season this year away against
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: North Melbourne, didn't they? I'm almost certain. So second year,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: it's almost like sometimes they go, yeah, just plug that in,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: plug that in. You know, do that Anzac Day is
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: a lock there. Anyway, we'll get the entire draw, but
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: we know that the Crows are going to be under huge.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: I think they're the most, along with St Kilda, they're
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the most under pressure, under the spotlight team.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Fascinating as to how they deal with that and how
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: the Adelaide coaching staff. Like you said about the results
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: over in South Africa, Renny. sport is just about outcomes.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: It's all outcomes. Everyone talks and they make commentary about
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: things at the end of the day. If you win,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: everything looks after itself.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: It forgives all manner of sins.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: Everyone goes, that's fine.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: And look, I know you know him really well, but
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy to see Nick Murray out and about training,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: working his ass off.
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: That's all you can do.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Clearly, you know, there was an offer there and it
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: would have been nice for him personally or a different thing,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: but he's just gone, oh, well, I am where I
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: am and And keep going.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: So he'll be fine.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Well, he carted cows for me yesterday.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Did he?
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in the truck out at Mount Pleasant. He's a
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: good man, Nick. He's looking forward to the season, actually.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's... He'll play well.
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: I think he'll start.
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: I think he'll start the season. He's a good player.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Rennie! Just touching on the Shield as well yesterday. Day one,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Western Australia. Three for 304, Adelaide Oval. Going to today's play.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Bancroft batted all day, didn't he?
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: All day. 156.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 156. Jaden Goodwin, 108 as well.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: If Bancroft comes in, where does he bat? He doesn't
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: bat at three, does he?
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: He has to open.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: He can't bat at three.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: So the only reason you'd bring someone like him in,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I think they'd go Constance over him every day.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: It's interesting that we're talking about Cam Bancroft at this
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: point in time when the Aussies are over in South Africa,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, that's kind of.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: The only bloke who's never had the redemption arc like
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the other two.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: It's kind of ruined his career, unfortunately. He's nearly 34,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: but that was his 25th tonne. For WA, he would open.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't be talking about Matt Renshaw, how you are now,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: two years ago or 18 months ago, would you? Matt's
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: had a pretty amazing resurrection of his career lately.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, Bancroft would have to open, and then Trav Head,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: you would think, would go back to five. He'd open
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: with Renshaw, I would think. But I think they'll go
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: down the Constance path before they entertain Bancroft, I think.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Great that he's made it. If he made another one,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: maybe you start to think about it a bit more seriously,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: but it might still be a bit in vain, I think,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: for Bancroft, unfortunately.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Will and Stace, 5AA Brekkie coming up after that. Ned
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: and I will be back for a fun Friday show
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: tomorrow morning from 5.
