  Speaker 2: To a lucky listener before 6 o'clock. So join in
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the program, and that could be all yours. However, how'd
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you spend your long weekend?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Long weekends. How good are long weekends, Ned?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: They're fantastic, Sammy. Great to see you. Nice work there
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: with the intro. I don't have a card, so I
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: couldn't get into the door.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, of course, yeah.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Now, great work. Long weekends are fantastic. Not as fantastic
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: as that Colac voucher. The prizes are starting to really
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: come through on this program, which is a nice touch.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: High-fivers, jump on board. You can head along to the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Port Adelaide Colac. Have a beer on us.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, certainly looking forward to that. What did you do
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: on your long weekend before I share some news about mine?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, long weekend. I did a bit of housework, a
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: bit boring, had a few beers with a mate. That
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: was fun.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Watched some movies. Just a nice relaxing time. I was
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: here on Saturday. I did a few hours on air.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But other than that, it was nice and relaxing and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: not too much on, which is how I would like
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to spend a long weekend.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: What about you?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: 66.6% of what you just said sounds boring as heck.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Housework and watching films.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I just got into a real film mood.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Weird. What did you watch?
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I watched Rowan Atkinson as Johnny English, one of my
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: favorite old-time films.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Great film. He's so good.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: He's so good.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I finally saw the new Spider-Man, which I'm neither here
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: or there for superhero films, but I just thought it
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: was interesting.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Couldn't think of anything worse than watching that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yesterday, I watched an old film, when I say old film,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: 2021 with Ryan Reynolds called The Atom Project on Netflix.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Just It's a bit sci-fi, but it's Ryan Reynolds-esque. It
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: sounds horrible.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: It's just some nice background noise. I enjoyed it. Horrific.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: How horrific was your weekend? We spent it at Port
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Lincoln and went fishing. That also sounds boring to me.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Well, exactly. And that's what makes the world go round.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Everyone's different. And we're representative of different people, aren't we?
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Which is great. You mentioned something with Johnny English. I'll
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: share some stuff on my long weekend. Before I do that,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: 8223 0000, what's the best version of the secret agent
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: who's goofy? Mine's Johnny English. Johnny English, but Get Smart
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: is a cracker. What are some other ones?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Are there any other ones?
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: There's so many movies that have the agent as a doofus,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: but he kind of gets away with it all. There's
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: got to be a couple of others, isn't there? Maybe
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I'm only thinking of those two. Austin Powers.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Bang. You know you want to. Come on.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, baby.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, that is groovy, baby.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Mark Finlayson said, welcome back, Ned. I was at Wallaroo
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: camping in my new swag. Mark, that's brilliant. Good on you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I was camping in a swag on Thistle Island.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: So Sammy flew to Port Lincoln Friday morning. Sensational. Got
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the boat all ready, 1,000 litres of diesel in the
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: big boat.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: God, how much did that set you back?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: $ 2, 700.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Put bait in the esky, put ice in the esky,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: squid in the esky. It was a mate who was
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: getting married. He had a group of friends come over,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: some of them I didn't know, and we just had
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: a marvellous time. You know when you get people together...
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: who all have similar interests, who are all aligned, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: all good people, happy to have a good time, but,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: you know, be respectful as well. Just a wonderful, wonderful crew.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Lots of King George Whiting, you know, campfires, cooking up steak,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: things that you just absolutely hate.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I love a campfire.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: No, you love a campfire. Can you roast tofu on
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: a stick?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Move on.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: No, it was brilliant. Sorry, I feel like I'm rambling
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: a little bit here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Is that what you normally do?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I always rabble. The lovely person, remind me, who texted
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: in saying their mum lived on Thistle, I walked out
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: of this building on the Friday and realised, crud, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: haven't gotten back to them. So I didn't have their number.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: So I might have sent a text and worked out
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: who that is because there wouldn't be many people on
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Thistle and I kind of didn't get it all organised.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Anyhoo.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Long weekends. Do you like them? Do you loathe them?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: What did you get up to? 8223 0000. We'd appreciate
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: your calls on that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Big news in Adelaide this week.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: The Governor of South Australia, Frances Adamson, her five-year term
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: comes to an end.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Here she is on 7 News last night.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: Reflecting on her time as Governor, Frances Adamson admits greener
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: pastures may be hard to find.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: It's been a heartwarming experience. privilege and really the honour
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: of my life.
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: And their true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: her heirs and successors.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: From day one, she was determined to share that privilege
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: with all South Australians, regularly throwing open the gates of
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: Government House, welcoming more than 400,000 visitors.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: We very much wanted.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: The house and the gardens to be not just somewhere
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: where people would come, but where they would genuinely feel
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: that they belonged.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Her Excellency Frances Adamson hanging out. I wonder what your
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: hang-ups are, the Governor. The key to the city? I'm
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: not too sure. But she's concluding her five-year term today,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and we're in a position where we still don't know
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: who the next Governor of South Australia will be.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So should we help the Premier out this morning?
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: A couple of ideas.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: We need some thought starters here, just in case. The
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Premier's had a bit on his plate lately, still trying
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: to get a handle of ramping court cases with the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: golf course. So we can help him out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Raising trout into bloody Happy Valley too.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Not quite as important as ramping, but still, you know.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: 8223 0000 044808 1395. Governor of South Australia. Who should
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: it be? Don't have to have a reason. Just give
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: us some names.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Love it. Stephen Rowe for me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Of course it would be for you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Stephen Rowe. He'd have the Adelaide Crows back on track.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Is that the role of the governor? Could talk to anyone.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: He'd be great at a social event. Imagine him having
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: a couple of Aperols down his tonsils with a few other...
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: high-flying politicians or people like that, that'd be perfect. Stephen Rose,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: my suggestion. Who's yours?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to go sensible, the one
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that always gets bandied around lately is Grant Stephens.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, Grant Stephens.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Or the deputy vice governor right now, Richard Harris.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Richard Harris. That's another fan favourite by the sounds of it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: But give us some left-field ones.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, left field. I like left field. I like left
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: field a lot.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Tex Walker, he's recently got no job.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: What is it about Bogan polarizing crows?
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I'd like to declare this.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Rob from Clearview, good morning. He's texting. The text's coming through.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Everyone's getting back into a routine off the back of
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: a long weekend, starting with early breakfast texting. I was
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: out camping one night. I was laying there under the
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: stars looking at the wonder and majesticness and beauty of
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the universe, and I thought to myself, who stole my
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: bloody tent? Not a bad start, Rob. Six out of ten.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Keep them coming through. Mick said Rex and Dirt. Will
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Smith pre the slap. Men in black, Mick. Another thing
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: where detectives or kind of, you know, people are, you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the special agents who are goofy. Linda from Hewitt, our
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: parkrun expert, says Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, Jim Carrey. Great suggestion.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Also on this text line, Mick, it's the one that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: you always expect to come through, the next governor of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: South Australia, Kenneth George Cunningham.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Imagine Cage trying to open anything.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: That'd be fantastic. Would absolutely adore it. Linda from Hewitt,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: as our park run expert, I saw the pub at
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Mandala and the general store. There's threats that that might
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: potentially close down, the heartbeat of a small rural town.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Someone commented on that post about the merit of park
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: runs and the tourism appeal. Apparently, they're changing a lot
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: of rural towns. People are traveling for weekends to do
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: these park runs, and people were suggesting that Mandala, they've
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: got a lot of traction online. Really interesting, Linda. So clearly,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: they're having a big effect. Bessie at Woodville North has
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: called in at 5.12. Hello, Bessie. Hi, good morning. How
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: are you? Good, good, Bessie.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: Good, good.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'm fine.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I think Andrew Reimer talked back. He should be next governor.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Andrew Reimer as governor. Good idea. Another 5AA personality.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I could imagine Andrew opening up some things, cutting some ribbons.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I think he'd be a great ribbon cutter.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Interesting one. Julian Tea Tree.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Gully, good morning.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Good morning, boys.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going back to the movies.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Frank Trevon in The Naked Gun.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Leslie Nielsen. Another great suggestion, Julie.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was hilarious.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Watched all his movies and they did a reboot, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: I didn't even bother with that because no one can take.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Leslie Nielsen's place.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: No one in the world.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: It was the funniest movie.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Wasn't the reboot with Liam Neeson?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen that either.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Pamela Anderson, I think. But no, no, not even bothered
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: with that.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I'd rather watch all.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: The old reruns.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: And also, Nettie, I'm listening to Shoe.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Dog.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, how good is it, Julie? Do you enjoy it?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: It's really interesting.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: So I'll keep on listening to.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: That as I go on. I'll keep on listening to you.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Just cutting out there, Julie.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Julie's just driven into a tunnel.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so sad there. You've just cut out. But what
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Julie was saying, she's listening to Shoe Dog, clearly via audio.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: 8223 0000, is anyone listening to their books via audio now?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Or.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That's a great one. We can also add to it, though.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: It doesn't sound that great. You didn't sound very excited
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: We can add to it as well.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Who's buying books still?
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Or are you a Kindle-type operator?
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Sam, that's really good, actually.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Because I'm moving house, and I've got all these books,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: these hardcopy books. I've read them, and I'm kind of going, well,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I will take them, but I feel like not many
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: people are grabbing a handbook, you know, a hardcopy book now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: So if you're a big reader, are you listening, buying,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: or online with it through a Kindle?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. 822-300-00. Mark in Highbury, good morning.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Good morning.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: How are you going?
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Hello, Mark.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: But you're looking for a new governor.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Yes. Well, we're not. The Premier is.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, tell him to ring old stud, Graeme Corns.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: He's got not much to do.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Great idea, Mark.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Corns is a bit busy in his social life at
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the moment, though. We don't want to be bothering him
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: He's busy flirting with people down at Glenelg, isn't he?
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he'd be all right. He can open up an envelope.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: He'd be brilliant, Mark. Good suggestion. What a 5AA going
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: on in the suggestions.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We've got to broaden this out other than 5AA, but
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: keep your suggestions coming.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: We love them. Meredith, good morning.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I thought of another person.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Michael Keelan.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it. It's going to get
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: competitive in this building. I love it, Meredith. Good thinking.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Is there anyone outside of the office, maybe?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: To be fair, though, the government house, it does have
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of grounds and a lot of gardens, and Michael.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Keelan would be able to tend to that very well.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: He'd keep the garden on track, that's for sure.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Meredith?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Well done.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, Meredith, have a great day.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: What are you going to call the name of your boat?
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: What am I calling the name of my boat? What
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: do you mean? It's called the Houtman. You can't change
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the name of a boat there, Meredith. Bad luck.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: No, sorry about that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: No, that's right. It's called Houtman. Could be pronounced Hootman.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It's after a Dutch philosopher who basically pioneered the Portuguese
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: spice trade. He was carrying stuff over, and some of
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: the reefs across Western Australia are called the Houtman Reefs.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: It's either Houtman or Houtman. I kind of call it
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: a mix of both, just to be safe.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming you didn't know it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: No, I received the boat, and it was called the Houtman.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: As I said, you don't change that. It's got so
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: much history. I get people walking up to me in
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: the marina, in my boat and they say, I worked
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: out of this boat catching crayfish at Streaky Bay. Or
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I know someone who worked at Geraldine off Western Australia.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: We used to fish 70 kilometres offshore in this boat
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: and spend four days out there catching crayfish. And the
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: history of fishing boats is amazing. You don't, you know,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: it is great. It is really great. Now, I was
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: about to say you're not interested in that, but that's
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: not fair, is it?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't say that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: No, I know, but I just, yeah, anyway.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Mandy and the Blue Brothers are up and about this morning.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Sam and Ned. I hope you and all
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: your listeners are well. Did you both have a great weekend?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: How is your Kelpie going, Ned? What is his name?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm betting he will be the best dog ever, eventually.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Have a great show, Mandy and the Blue Brothers. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: she also added, I love books. The smell of them
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: is like nothing else.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: It is a good smell, isn't it? What are some
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: of the best smells?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Petrichor.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, right.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Do you know what that is?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: No.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Smell of rain.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, is it smell of rain? Yeah, that helps. I
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: thought it was something more kind of petrol or something.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I do like the smell of petrol too. Oh, okay.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: But not petrichor. It's the smell of rain, especially when
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: it's a bit humid out there and the rain's on
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: its way.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: That's a big word.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Learned it from Jane Riley. It's one of her fun facts.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: She'd always deal out. Oh, really?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: That's a big word, Sammy. I didn't know what it was,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: but agree, that is a great smell. Lavender is a
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: great smell. Love the smell of lavender.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: The smell of onions cooking, I love.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Steak? Mark from Parahills, love my sports books. Tex is next.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Only now about six words at 62 years old.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Mark from Parahills.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Hello, Mark. I hope you're having a great day. Another
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: text from Rob, too, said, so many people get the
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: keys to the city. Is it time we went keyless?
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Clap your hand or a ring camera.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Well done, Rob.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Very good.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: 18 after 5. 8223 0000 044808 1395. Got that Colac
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Port Adelaide voucher up for offer for the best cola
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: between now and six o'clock. Asked a few questions. Are
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you still buying books? How are you consuming books? And
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: who should be the next governor of South Australia?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: 22 after five on this Tuesday morning, going for a
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: lovely 20 degrees today, but with a shower or two around.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Currently in the city, it's sitting around about 11 degrees.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: We've been asking who should be the next governor of
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: South Australia. On the text line, Caroline. I'd say Jane
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Riley for governor. Thank you, Caroline. Another one from Annie
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: in Port Lincoln, which is, I'll put it down as
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Ned's mate.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Morning, boys.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I think Dr Richard Harris would make a good governor.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Great to hear you had a good weekend at Thistle, Ned.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: You obviously didn't need a lift Friday after all. By
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Friday lunchtime, we had a caravan set up at September
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Beach and family joined us for the weekend of fishing,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: campfires and finding geocaches all over the area of the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: National Park.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Cheers, Annie.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Annie, that is awesome. What a great part of the
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: world it is over there, Annie. I'm so jealous that
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: you get to be there permanently, but every time I
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: go over there, I just think, this is magic.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Whereabouts is September Beach? I've never heard of it.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I've actually never heard of September Beach either. It sounds
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: like it's in the Port Lincoln National Park, which is wonderful.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Are you doing a bit of a Google test?
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: I am.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: We'll see it on the maps. It'll be a part
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: of the National Park, I'm guessing. Annie, good work.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Sammy.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: A couple of things to discuss. Oh, you're telling me that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, no. It's not where I thought it was at all.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Very different.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Good on you, Annie. Fantastic. Best favorite beach? What's your
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: favorite beach in South Australia?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've been to the likes of KI. I've
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: done all that sort of stuff over KI. I've seen
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: lovely beaches, but mine is, and it's not even that,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's Semaphore. Because there's a lot of childhood
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: memories going to Semaphore late in the afternoon or evening
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: in summer with mum and dad cooling off.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: So just Semaphore for me.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: That's fair.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Great suggestion. Annie, fisheries for me. Fisheries Beach down there
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: at Lincoln. We do our crayfish out of there. I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: sure you venture there all the time. I was reflecting, Sammy, reflecting,
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: and we've got a few core topics out there. Keep
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the calls coming through, 8223 0000. What do you think
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: the best year of Australian history was? So here we
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: sit in 2026. Life's pretty good, right? But when do
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: you think the peak of Australia was to this point?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, the best year of history could be determined
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of different ways, good, bad, politically defining.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: What's yours to get us going?
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: 2007. Why?
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I hate 2007.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: For a few reasons.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: 2017!
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: For a few reasons. One, Port Adelaide just got absolutely
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: smashed by Geelong, and that was great. Sure. I remember
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: watching that as a kid.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I was there. Dad wouldn't let us leave.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Really? We're staying till the final siren, and then as
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: soon as the siren went up, we were out of
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the building.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: You've got to get your money's worth.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Australia was in drought. That's one thing that was tricky,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: but the resilience of the Australian agricultural sector was just outstanding.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, that was one of the hardest times. Ashes
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: reclaimed 5-0. John Howard in government. Got some stats here.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: The economy was growing above 4%. Unemployment was around 30-year lows.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Canberra had eliminated net debt and was running surplus. Household
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: wealth ticked, and the business investment was at an all-time high.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't know I was hosting early breakfast with David Pemberthy.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: 2007 for me.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: He also got voted out that year, so it's probably
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: not a great year for John Howard.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm not talking about John Howard. I'm talking
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: about the prosperity of the country and a time to
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: be alive. 2007, before the majority of this woke culture
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: was introduced into Australia, I think that is the greatest
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: time to be alive.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I reckon a lot of our listeners would. I'd be
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: surprised if the year 2000 didn't come up.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Sydney Olympics.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Australia was humming along on the world stage. As a
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: political nerd for me, so obviously not so much as
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: this is a great time, but for me a very
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: interesting period to look back on, 1975.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Gough Whitlam, The Dismissal.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I find all that absolutely fascinating. Malcolm Fraser, Sir John Kerr,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Kumlani Affairs, Jenny Morose. All of that is, I can
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: lose hours researching that because I just find it so interesting.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Love it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: But we'll have listeners who would have lived through those times.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Someone might be listening. Get on the text line or
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: give us a call, 822-300-00. Do you think Australia at
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: this point is better than the years that you've lived through?
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: And what was the best year to be an Australian
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: and to be alive?
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: How often do we hear, back in my day, it
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: was better? Back in my day.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Do you think Australia is better than 2000? Right now?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I can't properly remember 2000, so I can't really give
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: an opinion on it like that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: But even if you looked at 2000 subjectively now in
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: hindsight versus living today?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Well, Not even, I'd say including the world. Get rid
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: of all the technology.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Do you reckon technology's made.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I think growing up with colouring in books was a
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: far better childhood than iPads.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yes. Living standards are great and modern medicine's great and
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: all of that. But do you think that Australia is
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: better now than what it was in 2000? Yes or no?
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: You'd be a no.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: What do you mean you don't know? It's a yes
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: or no question. That's option C. A, B, or C? Oh, no. A, B,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: no C. Yes or no? Do you reckon it's better?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: There'd be a lot of reasons why it is better.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: A lot of people probably have a lot more empathy
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: to certain things.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: And I think that is a huge plus, no doubt,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and a huge counter-argument to my kind of It's conservative thinking.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: So jump on the phones. 8223 0000.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Got that Port Adelaide Colac voucher to give away to
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: someone before six o'clock. Is Australia better off now than
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: it was in the year 2000?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Or what's the best year of history? Or the best
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: year in Australian history?
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: If anyone's got any ideas, any memories, any nostalgia, give
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: us a call. A man who will be in... Tom Wren,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: he does our sport, doesn't he? He'll be in at
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: about 5.35. We'll speak to him in a sec. 5.45.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: He always gets through with no problem, doesn't he? He
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: comes skirting in here without any issues. Me this morning,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: forgot my card. Didn't have a card.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: What's the problem?
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: So the reason was is because I took my swiping
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: card out of my wallet and put it in my
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: pocket at a certain time. Huge mistake because it comes
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: out of the wallet. But then I was having a
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: chat to the fellas outside, boys and girls, And we're
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: talking about wallets. Now, I keep it in my wallet
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: because I've always got my wallet on me. It is
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: the best thing ever, having a wallet. You put your
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: cards in there, your driver's license. You don't rely on
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: a mobile phone needing to pay anything or do anything.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I just love it. Do you carry a wallet with
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: you all the time?
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: No.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I think my wallet's at home in a bag somewhere.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: So you don't have a wallet on you at all?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I couldn't pinpoint to you right now where my wallet
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: is because I just use my phone for everything.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: It's one less thing to carry. I don't want to
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: be carrying anything.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Noise the hell out of me. Really?
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: But don't you worry that if your phone shut down,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: you didn't have any battery or something?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I just make sure it's charged. Oh, Sammy. It's not
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: that hard.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: You're not carrying the old school ball around in your pocket. No.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: What about keeping a receipt or someone gives you a
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: business card?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: How often now do you get receipts emailed to you?
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: You do, but often you keep a hard copy receipt.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not leaving one of the supermarkets with a receipt.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: What percentage of people do you think still carry a
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: hard wallet on them?
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: A fair few.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Or a purse, yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: A fair few.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: What percentage?
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: 80%.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: 80%, you think? Well, I'm in that 80%. Has anyone
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: gone to the 20%, to the dark side, and they're
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: not carrying a wallet anymore?
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Just like me.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Text or call, 8223 0000. Johnny at Port Augusta.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Hello, John.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Hello, boys. You're talking about the best times in Australia's
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: history or whatever else, but.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, growing up, I grew up in the 1980s. Well,
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: I was born in 68, so I was a young
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: bloke in the 1980s. I'd heard, and I've heard since
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: and read a lot of stuff, that the 1960s and
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: 60s were arguably the happiest time. Back into the Second
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: World War, home ownership became affordable, which it's probably not
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: for a lot of people now, or the rest of it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: It just In some ways, I mean, you'd take the
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: medal of advancement today, of course you would, but in
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: some ways you'd nearly go back to those times. A
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: simple time, as I say, you'd take the medal of
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: advancement of 2026, but in a way I'd go back
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: to the 1960s and 1960s.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Good on you, John. Yeah, great memories. That's exactly what
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: we were kind of asking for, isn't it? Just reflection, Sammy,
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: on what life was like. I mean, Rob on the
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: text line said, 1978, nothing major in the country, especially Christmas,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: but Nan and Pop still alive, Dad still alive, all
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: sitting around the table, being together and sharing a meal.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Life was simple and happy.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: 1978.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: There you go, Rob. So that's your year.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Mandy and the Blue Brothers, the 1960s and the 70s
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: for growing up, walking with my friends for miles with
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a transistor radio, singing at the top of our lungs
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: before technology ripped us apart.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: There you go, Mandy. That's brilliant. 60s and 70s. In
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: terms of wealth and talking about home ownership from John,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Read a study recently, and they were just talking about
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: the baseline for high standard of living. So once you
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: earn a certain amount of money, no additional income would
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: make you any happier. I think it was something like $ 105, 000,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: which is a large salary. Don't get me wrong. That's
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: a good wicket. But that allows you to go on
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: a holiday once or twice a year, kind of do
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: what you want to do when you need to do it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: No more money. will make you happier. Post that was
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: what the study found on, you know, a study of
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: thousands of people. Really, really interesting, isn't it?
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: It is. Well, they always say money can't buy you happiness.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: They say that.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: There's a point where you can get to, you just
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: don't need it anymore, do you?
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: No. I think as soon as you achieve just that
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: standard of living, yeah, money won't do anything more for
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: you in regards to consistent endorphin.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Rob, I'm with you, Ned. I haven't carried a wallet
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: for a decade. My fold-over phone case has card holders
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: in it. That's all I need. Jack, you're dead right, Ned.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Being a farmer, I always carry a wallet and get
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a hard copy receipt.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: All the time, Jack. Jack always texts in with lambs
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: and he was talking about wheat and canola and stuff
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: the other day. Jack, I didn't realise you were a farmer.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Where are you based and what do you do? Just
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: flick a text through so we can catch up on that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: That'd be great.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Mandy, I carry a wallet slash purse. I always have
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: cash on me.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: It has happened that the system has crashed and no
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: card payments or transfers could happen. Peter as well for
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: the year of Australian history, winning the America's Cup back
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: in 1983.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great. I wonder if anyone just has a
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: personal kind of memory of a certain year and why
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: that one stands out.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Do you remember your earliest memory?
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, jeez, that's a philosophical question.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: No.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: No, I think I just remember being really young and
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: holidaying with my mum. I think that's the only kind
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: of early memory I have.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: The earliest memory I can remember, and it would either
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: be from 99 or 2000, around that era, three, four,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: five years of age, it was as a family, we'd
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: always watch Carol's Black Candlelight, Channel 9 on Christmas Eve,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: once High Five and Humphrey B.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Bear has been on.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Dad would put me on his shoulders. We'd live near
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Port Road. We'd walk down to Port Road and we'd
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: be looking out over the hills trying to see Father Christmas.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: And we'd be looking for a couple of minutes. Oh,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: we're a bit early. Go to bed and we'll all
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: be good. But I remember walking down to Port Road
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: and looking out over the hills.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure that's my earliest memory.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Earliest memory.
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: I wonder, what age were you then?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Have to have been three, four, five, around that age.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I remember being sat down with my sister on the couch.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: My parents were in front of us telling us they
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: were going to get a divorce.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: You would remember that?
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: I remember it was six.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm laughing, but anyway. Didn't see
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: that coming. Yeah, sorry.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Straighten up. Can we get to a break, please? Give
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: us a call.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: 8223 0000.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Always enjoy your calls.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: 22 minutes to six. Going for a top of 20
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: degrees today with a shower or two. Currently 11.4 in
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: the city.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Talking about everyone's long weekend, Sammy. Yes. Great to get
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: some text through on what you got up to or
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: how you enjoy your long weekends. You can give us
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: a call at any time. We always love receiving those,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: 8223 0000. Just rounding out my long weekend yesterday, did
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: some filming down towards the mid-coast of our beautiful state, Sammy,
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: and I looked at the sun. I thought, oh, jeez,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: we've got plenty of time. It must be 3 or
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: 4 o'clock. We might grab a pie for lunch soon.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It was 6 p.m. Yep, I did the same thing.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Daylight savings catches you off guard at the start, doesn't it?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: We all know I'm more of a fan of an
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: early dinner.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: You love an early dinner.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I love an early dinner. Yep. I thought, oh, yeah,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I've still got plenty of time.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: 6.15, I haven't started dinner yet.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I was out of whack. I'm still out of whack.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: It'll get you.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: It'll get you. Then you'll love to jump on this.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Can you not make me out like I'm some kind
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: of predatory vegetarian hater?
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: It wasn't about the food. So, to me... I mean,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: everyone needs it to be nice and dark to try
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: and get to sleep.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: So at 6.30, I pulled all the blinds down to
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: try and make it darker.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: And it worked. I was in bed by just after 8.30,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: and I slept by 9. Perfect.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: Perfect.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: But hang on, hang on. So 6.30, so what happened
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: between 6.30 and 8.30?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I did my usual thing. I just pulled the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: blinds down to make the place dark to.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Try and get- Oh, to get yourself into sleep mode.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you'd love that.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: How much of your life are you spending horizontal, Sammy?
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Not enough.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you, I had a good sleep last night.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: I am bouncing off the walls.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: What, 11 till 3 or something?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: No, no, it was good. I think I would have
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: been asleep by 10 o'clock yesterday. Absolutely outstanding. Six hours.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, look at me. I'm bouncing off the walls.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Consensus of daylight savings with our listeners?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: We touched on it last week, but we're a day
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: or two into it now. So are we still in
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: favour or are we still against? It was close, but
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: more people were against it than that were with it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: My question would be for someone who's got livestock or
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: a farm.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Because when the cows need to be milked, they need
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: to be milked, right? They don't go by daylight saving.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: The farmers don't get to sleep in. Well, that's just dairies.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, people that produce protein aren't necessarily, well, they're
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: not milking cows.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: No, but that's one industry that I can think of that...
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: In the mornings? Correct. That wouldn't... Can you milk a
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: cow an hour later? Like, how does it work?
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: You always ask me questions about dairy farming. That's an
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: industry that I'm not involved in. Farming's farming, isn't it? No,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: it's not.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: We need Arthur from Mount Barker to call us up
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and let us know. Do the cows follow daylight saving?
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. The people would have all the
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: infrastructure set up regardless of light. So just put that
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: completely to the side. Now you're talking about the cow's
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: body clock. Yes, correct.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about animals' body clocks.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: That is an interesting concept. I wonder whether they do...
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: change it slowly and wean them from that hour to
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: the other hour. Or they just go at the same
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: hour all the time for the whole year and change
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: themselves in terms of processing. I'm not a dairy farmer, Sammy.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: How many times do I have to tell you this?
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming your farm, then, nothing really matters with daylight saving.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Nothing changes whatsoever, apart from the fact you've got more
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: time at the end of the day, which is handy. Yeah,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: love daylight savings.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Well, you don't have more time at the end of
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: You do.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: You don't.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: You do.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: You have more time at the end of the day.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: You just don't. It's a social construct that we follow,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: just like time itself.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Everything's a social construct. Money, time, everything.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Do you like your birthday? Do you celebrate your birthday?
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: No, I don't celebrate it. I would never, ever, ever
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: have a big party with people coming over to celebrate me.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: What a strange thing that is to do.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: I won't get the invite.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: To text people and go, hi, I'm so important.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Celebrate me.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: I'm so incredibly important that you have to change what
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: you're doing on this certain day to come over and
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: eat cake and celebrate the birth of me. I mean,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: what a self-indulgent, miserable thing to do that is.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Well, there was a big birthday yesterday. Here's the audio
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: on 7.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: Australia's oldest man has turned 113. Ken Weeks from Grafton
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: in New South Wales also shares the date with the
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: world's oldest man, a Brazilian, who is turning 114. The
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: pair today exchanging some heartwarming birthday wishes.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: He's wishing you a happy 113th birthday. Thank you. Happy
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: 113th birthday.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: What are the chances, huh?
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: Now, Ken celebrated his birthday in style, travelling in a
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: vintage car to explore his old school and church.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: If you had someone 113 ring you up, are you
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: still thinking that's a bit self-absorbed?
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Are you allowed to celebrate that one?
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Every year after... 80 is absolutely play on. Okay. Like,
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: go for it. I will be there with bells on.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Because you've done it. You've seen it all. You deserve it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Let's get in. Let's celebrate it. I also think in general,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: and this might be... Perhaps generalising too much, Sammy, but
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say it. People over 80 won't drink
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: in excess. They're usually a little bit more measured. The
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: party's not going to go till 3am. I like that.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that as well. I like that. I
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: want things wrapped up earlier.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be there and, you know, drink. No, no, no.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: So anyone over 80 absolutely within their right to host
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: a birthday party. Like, big events, maybe, maybe if you've
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: got kids or grandkids and they want to do either
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: an 18th or a 21st, maybe. It's one or the other.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: It's not two, folks. Please don't do two. And then
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: you can choose one throughout your life. You can either
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: have a 30th or a 50th or a 60th or
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: something like that.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Just the one. That's it.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Ken celebrated his 113th birthday on the weekend. Are you
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: someone who celebrates your birthday? Do you love a bit
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: of me time? Which is fair.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: We won't judge.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Well, Ned might, but 8223 0000 birthdays. Rob is on
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the text line with, what is it about people that
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: need the day off or week off for their birthdays?
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Your mum did all the work. Excellent point.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Rob, I am totally with you on that. I couldn't
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: agree any more. Speaking of getting days off, Rob actually
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: brings something up that I was keen to chat about.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: With the long weekend, who's structuring their days off strategically?
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: You obviously get a set amount of, how does it work?
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Normally 20 days of annual leave a year.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Is that what it is?
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: I've never been employed by someone where that kind of
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: is how it works. I don't understand it. That's the standard.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: But say you had 20 days of annual leave. I
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: know someone who will remain anonymous, who sits down in
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: their calendar, puts the 20 days in in the most
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: strategic positions to maximise Blocks of time off. So you
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: might go the Thursday last week, the Tuesday this week
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: as two annual leave days.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: And give yourself six days.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: The prime one is when Anzac Day falls near Easter.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: And you could take three days of annual leave and
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: you'd probably get like around eight or nine days off.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Extraordinary.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: That sort of gear.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Who's doing it strategically or who's an employer who sees
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: people do that and goes, hang on, is that what
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: it's designed? That can't be what it's designed for.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Annual leave is designed to be taken whenever you want it.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: That's what annual leave's for. You've built it up. You've
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: earned it. You've only got 20 days. Use it wisely.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: I just don't get the whole annual leave. I don't
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: get the sick leave thing. If you don't come to work,
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't be paid.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, so, okay.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: I totally believe that. Really? I don't think you should
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: be paid to be on annual leave. No, no.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: That's spoken by someone who hasn't had a proper job.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: That's just my general view.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: If you've had a proper job.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: But what are they paying you for? You're not at work.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: You're sunning your bum in Port Douglas. How does that work?
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: He's going to rile up a few feathers here this morning.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Do you reckon that's unreasonable?
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Completely unreasonable.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Is it? But you work, and then you obviously budget
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: your life to then set aside some money for when
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: you want to go away. That's what it costs. I
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: don't think an employer should be paying off a payroll
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: when you're tanning yourself.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000, please get on the phone and slam Ned.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: It'll be very entertaining this morning.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: The latest in sports with Tom Rantz.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Tommy Rantz, good morning to you. Good morning.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: It's a fascinating point. Look, sick leave's an interesting one.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: So the first 10 years I worked, I worked for
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Channel 7, which is the first seven years and had
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: an amazing time. I took one sick day in the
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: seven years. Yeah, silly you.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: Everyone said when I left, nothing.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Now, more for me, I think I've got about 110
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: at nine and probably similar here. And there are others,
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: and it's fine that, would be close to negative leave.
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Which is fine.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: They're entitled to them. But then I sort of think, well,
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: one day I might, you know, break a leg or
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: I could get, you know, like Will McDonald. But Will's
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: got 180 days. But I think there should be incentive for,
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: and there's a lot of people out there that are
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: probably going, I've got 200 days sick leave. I've been
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: at the same company 30 days. I think they should
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: give you a payout or an incentive of 10% of
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: you or 20% of your sick days.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Well, make sure Ned's not your boss because he says
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you shouldn't even get that.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: I just think there should be rewards for turning up
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: and rocking up and people get, you know, like, because
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: some people leave and they've got, yeah, 100, 200 sick days.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: It's like, oh, well. More for you for not using them.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: Do you get paid out for sick days or is
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: that only annually?
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: No, only annually.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: So all these people that take them and then there's
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: other people doing the right thing and have got them
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: get nothing at the end. That's what I'm saying. I'm
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: saying so they're almost getting penalised for doing the right thing. Anyway,
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: it's a fascinating discussion.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: This isn't a good text. You're about to say this
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: makes so much sense.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I'll explain why. I just thought it was interesting and
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to read it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Read it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: So, Ned, if you were playing footy and got injured
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: for a few months, you'd be happy not to get paid.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: But that's not how it works because if you're injured
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: at an AFL club, you get in earlier and you
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: do rehab for the whole day. And when the footy
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: boys who are playing finish at 2 o'clock and go
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: and have lunch, you're in rehab until 5 o'clock and
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: you do a 16-hour day.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Rob from Marion, listen here, Ned. I love you, but
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: you're spewing blasphemy across your forked tongue in regard to
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: when you leave.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: It's the best thing ever.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: Rob.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't know.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: This is just my view.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Like, it might be different.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: I just, and Sammy.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: We're talking the fun. Things aren't getting done unless you're there.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: I just feel like if.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I employed someone, I'd want to see them. I'd have,
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I'm happy to pay someone fairly if they're doing something,
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: but I just, if they're away, I was like, what
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: am I paying you for? I just, I just don't
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: get that. I don't get it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: And that's how it works with casuals, isn't it? Like,
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: you know, if you don't turn up, you don't get paid.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: But if you, this is before we even talk about
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: long service leave as well, Ned. That's another can of fish. Tommy,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: what's going on in sport?
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: It's a really interesting discussion. I think workers do need
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: some rights, though. You don't need to have some... Let's
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: just do sport.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: This is so interesting.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: We're running out of time. That's why we need to
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: do some sport.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Big weekend.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: Did you get into the NRL Grand Final or not really?
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Watched it. Yeah, watched it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Didn't see a second of it. Didn't care less.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I watched it, yeah.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Well, it's really interesting. I probably watch half a dozen
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: games a year. It is a I don't want to
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: annoy too many people here, but it's a fairly sort of... Munda,
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: those guys, I couldn't– they're machines.
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: It is brutal.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Now, you've been tackled, and, like, how brutal is that sport?
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: But it is fairly sort of linear, isn't it? You know,
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: whereas AFL is so much more dynamic. You know, there's
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: so much 360, and I don't know. It's quite a–
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: and I get it. I respect it. But it's not
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: the most visually amazing sport to watch, is it?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: No.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Is that fair? No, yeah, yeah. It is fair for us.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: We haven't grown up with it. I must admit, I'm
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: prefer watching League than watching Union.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: You guys?
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: People always ask me this. All I know the difference
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: is one gets lifted on their shoulders, the other one doesn't.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I couldn't tell the difference. I don't want to watch
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: either of them.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: No, I watched it. I thought it was good. State
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: of origin, I always love.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: I'd rather.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Wouldn't miss a minute.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: I understand League more. I think I'd like Union more
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: if I knew the rules a bit better.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: But I understand League rules a bit more.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: I'd much rather watch NFL. That'd be controversial, wouldn't it,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: I feel?
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't watch that, but that's fine.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: I know NFL better, though, because I watch it a
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: lot more now. So, yeah, I'm with you in that camp,
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: People love NFL. Yeah, it's just not for me, but
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: more people love it than not. What else is going on, Rennie?
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: Well, trade periods opened up. I'm glad the Zach Merritt
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: one got done. It should have happened 12 months ago,
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: but that was, I think, a bit of Andrew Welsh
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: coming in and saying, I'm going to stake our flag
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: in the ground.
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: And I get it, but thank God it's been done
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: day one. The Zach Butters one's fascinating. There's got to
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: be a bit, I think it will get done. There's
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: a bit of to-ing and fro-ing saying if you don't
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: deal fairly, we'll go to Richmond and, you know, we'll,
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: and I understand all of that, but I do think
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: the Bulldogs, they're both probably going to walk away going, oh,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: did we get what we wanted? Did we give up
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: what we needed to? It's going to be a bit
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: like that. So, look, Port fans will just have to
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: be patient, I think, but I do think we'll get there. So, look,
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: that's all going to happen over the next 10 days.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: Make no mistake, that's all been bubbling away for 11 months.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: I don't think the Crows, Ned, and I'll be interested
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: in your thoughts, I don't think they'll be that busy.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: I think, as you know, work goes into this stuff
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: for probably a year. And so now that they missed
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: out on Bailey, I reckon now they're almost probably going
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: to say, let's just worry about Naz next year and
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: who else is, um, available next year that they might
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: go over probably one or two other, you know, gun midfielders. Yeah.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: And I think next year they almost have to just say,
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: not concede with a midfield, but say, you know what,
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: let's go after, uh, let's play Dan Curtin in the
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: midfield for 12 months. Let's see if Sid Draper can play. Um,
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: and put him on a wing and have a bit
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: more of a go in that sense. And I'm really
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: interested with Nick Murray. Like North Melbourne clearly are interested.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: The Crows, I think, are desperate not to get caught short.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: If it was me, and this is just, again, my opinion,
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: I would be saying let him go. If you're only
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: going to play him for 11 games in a year,
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: you clearly don't have him in your best side. Let
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: the guy go and get something for him. Put your–
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: Put your kahunas out there and go, you know what?
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: Let him go.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: If we get caught short, that's the game we played.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: We can get something decent from North.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Let's play.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: Let the guy go.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Don't you think?
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: No, I do. It's my gut feel that Roughhead is publicly–
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: putting a stake in the ground, Renny, but behind closed doors,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: I reckon there's a lot more negotiation happening than perhaps
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: what he would admit.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: And that probably happens across 18 clubs, doesn't it?
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: And I think Jared Ruffin, I like what he said.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: He seems like a straight shooter.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: So I do think he'll have a bit of a go,
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: which is good. It's perhaps one criticism the Crows have
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: had over the years. But Porter's all about Zach Bartosz, Sammy. So, yeah,
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: we'll wait and see what happens there. Max Verstappen, obviously,
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: on the weekend. Sammy, you would have seen, won his
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: first race of the year.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Crazy scenes over in Malaysia.
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: The weather, it was delayed. Yeah, it was unreal.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: And obviously they went there because the Middle East, they
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: can't race there anymore.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: They had the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, bizarre. Formula One for you.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: Shocking weekend for the 36ers. A few problems there. A
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: lot of injuries. It sounds like they're going to get,
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: Corey Webster, this New Zealand veteran, they just need to
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: plug some holes. They need to make sure the season doesn't...
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: You can't win it, you know, now.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: But you can lose it.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: But you can lose it and slip out of contention
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: pretty quick. So they need to win a few games
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: and just shore things up. And, of course, Tommy, this weekend,
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: Bathurst 1000. Bathurst, yeah, you're going to be there. And
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: the other thing too, Samin, you'll be.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: We're not previewing Bathurst. It's Tuesday and you're not leaving
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: until Thursday, are you?
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: We can do what we want, Ned.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: So we will.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: And then the other one too is... and you can
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: watch this at night time when you get home, is
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: the Australia-South Africa test series starts over there. So that'll
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: be really interesting to see how that goes over in Dermod.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: The one-day series didn't get too hostile, but I think
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: it will for the test matches with Steve Smith playing.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: But that starts Friday.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: Well done, Rennie.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Good on you, boys.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Six minutes to six. Will and Stace for 5AA Breakfast,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: not too far away. Quick break, time for a call
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: or two. You can jump on the line. Call like
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Port Adelaide Voucher Giveaway before six.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Jump on Don. Jump to it, I should say.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Two to six.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Will and Stace not far away for 5AA Breakfast. And
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: it's Kendall Bredick and Tom Brennan for the 6 o'clock news. Well,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: just touching on the AFL and NRL Grand Finals, we
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: saw both pre-match entertainments. Kylie dazzling the AFL Grand Final,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: the NRL Grand Final, putting together a sort of concomitant
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: of Aussie stars.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: What did you think if you saw it?
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a good chat we were having off air.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: We thought we'd bring it online. How much value does
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: it add to a Grand Final setting?
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: And.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: I thought the tribute or the celebration of Jai Aro,
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: obviously suffering with MND, really, really sad. I thought it
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: was touching. I thought it was beautiful. But there was
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: an argument to say, was it appropriate pre-grand final compared
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: to other things? It's combative, isn't it?
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know, and I don't really have a
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: dog in the fight. I don't watch NRL. It doesn't
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: bother me.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: But was the idea for the tribute the pivot because
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: there was no pre-game entertainment? Was this always going to happen?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Because if this was the idea to fill the spot
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: for the pregame, it feels a bit disingenuous.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good point.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: It just didn't sit right with me, but I don't
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: know the entire backstory of it all.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: But if that was the reasoning, it just felt a
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: bit weird.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: I think your opinion has merit, and I'm not 100% sure.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: I know Peter Volandis is obviously very commercially minded. Rug
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: my leg.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Rug my leg.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: He's a smart fella, isn't he? And he's doing good
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: things with that league in a lot of ways. But
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: his argument is he'd rather put the million dollars towards
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: young people getting into rugby league and sport. The AFL, obviously,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: has always prioritised that pre-game entertainment and halftime and things
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: like that. So I just wonder what our listeners think
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: in terms of watching large events like that, how much
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: of that spectacle... is important considering the NRL didn't even
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Well, six o'clock, we've got to get out of here.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: On the back of us asking who the governor should be,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Rob has the final say. Tom Wren for Governor of
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: South Australia. I could get behind that.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Tommy Wren!
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: See you tomorrow morning from Five Wheel Goodings. Back in
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: the chair alongside Stacey Lee.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Catch you then.
