- 0:39Speaker 5: end of the week. And what are we? The Thursday,
- 0:41Speaker 5: the 5th of November. Cricudulli. We are nearing the end
- 0:46Speaker 5: of the year.
- 0:47Speaker 2: We are. The 5th of November. Interesting.
- 0:50Speaker 6: Why?
- 0:50Speaker 2: There's that movie, V for Vendetta. Anyway, keep going.
- 0:53Speaker 5: Wow, riveting. No, that's unfair, Sammy. What is that?
- 0:57Speaker 2: Guy Fawkes Day over in the UK?
- 0:59Speaker 4: I've got to be honest, Sam, I'm not familiar with
- 1:01Speaker 4: what you're talking about.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Guy Fawkes, he said that it would blow up the
- 1:04Speaker 2: Houses of Parliament.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Oh, right.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Continue.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Move on.
- 1:10Speaker 4: Sammy, Sammy, Sammy, was driving down this morning, Pulteney Street,
- 1:14Speaker 4: in the beautiful, mighty Toyota Tundra.
- 1:17Speaker 6: Rawr, rawr, rawr.
- 1:18Speaker 2: You should hear that, Andrew. It is just powerful.
- 1:21Speaker 4: Folks, and so much room in that beautiful tray. Oh,
- 1:24Speaker 4: I got a heap of Bickford's last night, Coles Unley,
- 1:27Speaker 4: almost sold out. Either Bickford's are going broke and they're
- 1:30Speaker 4: pulling stock off the shelves or people are buying it
- 1:32Speaker 4: like there's no tomorrow because there was only a few
- 1:34Speaker 4: bottles there.
- 1:35Speaker 2: I highly doubt they're going broke.
- 1:36Speaker 4: No, I don't think they're going broke either. They might
- 1:38Speaker 4: need some advertising, though, just for a little. pep in
- 1:40Speaker 4: their step. So, I was driving this morning, Pulteney Street.
- 1:44Speaker 4: The Christmas lights are going up.
- 1:46Speaker 3: When I was driving in yesterday, they were staging Victoria
- 1:50Speaker 3: Square with some Christmas is coming sort of decorations.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Well, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's the 5th of November.
- 1:57Speaker 4: There is absolutely no need to have Christmas decorations up yet.
- 2:01Speaker 2: The pageant's only a couple of weeks away.
- 2:03Speaker 5: No, too early.
- 2:04Speaker 4: It's way too early. They're trying to build this... Seriously,
- 2:08Speaker 4: you can only build for so long, Sam.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Okay?
- 2:10Speaker 5: Let's not be tired of Christmas before it even comes.
- 2:13Speaker 3: When in Ned McHenry's ideal world are you allowed to
- 2:16Speaker 3: start decorating?
- 2:17Speaker 5: Funny you say that.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I've actually written down 10 or so Christmas rules.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:22Speaker 4: These are my rules for Christmas. This is the way
- 2:25Speaker 4: I structure a Christmas. Now, if you don't like it,
- 2:27Speaker 4: you can get stuffed. You can call up on 8223
- 2:31Speaker 4: 0000 and share what your Christmas rules are. How do
- 2:35Speaker 4: you do Christmas and what are some things to consider?
- 2:38Speaker 4: off the back of these Pulteney Street lights being fitted
- 2:40Speaker 4: as we speak. They've probably got 5AA coming through their
- 2:44Speaker 4: workmanlike headphones.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I'd like to think so.
- 2:46Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're putting up the Christmas decorations on Pulteney Street,
- 2:49Speaker 4: call up and please take them down as you do.
- 2:53Speaker 4: No decorations pre-December.
- 2:55Speaker 5: That's rule number one.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Because it's big.
- 2:57Speaker 3: A lot of people will use the pageant morning to
- 3:00Speaker 3: put their tree up. My household, it was always December 1.
- 3:03Speaker 5: December 1. What's the date of the pageant?
- 3:05Speaker 2: Do you know? It's not this Saturday, next Saturday. Okay.
- 3:09Speaker 2: So about 10-ish days away from memory.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Okay, so that's going to be about the 23rd, I reckon.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Is that the 22nd, that Saturday, I think? No decorations pre-December.
- 3:21Speaker 5: Now, rule number two.
- 3:23Speaker 2: 14th of November.
- 3:24Speaker 5: Oh, beg your pardon.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Next weekend.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Rule number two, don't be afraid to explore a family
- 3:30Speaker 4: get-together on a day that isn't Christmas Day.
- 3:33Speaker 3: This is an interesting one because when I was growing up,
- 3:35Speaker 3: everything was always done on the day. So then when
- 3:38Speaker 3: anyone else does things on any other day, to me
- 3:41Speaker 3: it's such a foreign concept.
- 3:43Speaker 2: An early Christmas.
- 3:44Speaker 5: What about the daddos now?
- 3:45Speaker 4: I mean, a few of you will have partners, you'll
- 3:47Speaker 4: have different obligations, you'll have children soon, et cetera.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I think we're still doing a small, quiet lunch together
- 3:53Speaker 3: on Christmas Day because the brother's down from Canberra for it.
- 3:56Speaker 5: Well, that's lovely.
- 3:57Speaker 4: I'm just saying in time, perhaps you might need to
- 4:01Speaker 4: explore Christmas Eve or something like that. Our family's always
- 4:04Speaker 4: been Christmas Eve, the night. We do the night, and
- 4:07Speaker 4: then everyone can go and do their own thing on
- 4:09Speaker 4: Christmas Day.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Wow.
- 4:10Speaker 5: That's rule number two.
- 4:11Speaker 4: Just don't be afraid of that. If you don't want
- 4:13Speaker 4: to do it, that's fine, but just explore the option.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Number two, the person hosting has the final say.
- 4:20Speaker 5: That's a fact.
- 4:20Speaker 2: With what?
- 4:22Speaker 4: With what they're going to do for meets, okay, what
- 4:25Speaker 4: time people are coming, what time people need to leave,
- 4:28Speaker 4: where they're going to sit, outdoor area, indoor area. You'll
- 4:31Speaker 4: have all these opinions. You'll have Uncle Steve and Auntie Caroline,
- 4:35Speaker 4: whoever they are, and they'll be saying, no, we should
- 4:36Speaker 4: do this.
- 4:37Speaker 5: No, okay.
- 4:38Speaker 4: The fact of the matter is at Christmas, the person
- 4:40Speaker 4: hosting does have the final say. Rule number four, the
- 4:44Speaker 4: oldest folk in the family are treated like royalty.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Of course. Always.
- 4:48Speaker 4: They are the highest priority to make sure they're enjoying themselves.
- 4:52Speaker 5: The next highest priority at second is the youngest.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Yep. Nice.
- 4:57Speaker 5: The young ones.
- 4:57Speaker 2: The middle kind of order, if you go from 12 to, what, 60?
- 5:00Speaker 3: 12.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:00Speaker 5: 12, yeah. Or maybe a little bit older.
- 5:04Speaker 2: A little bit older, maybe.
- 5:05Speaker 5: Okay, 16.
- 5:07Speaker 7: 16.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Sure. We'll go with that.
- 5:09Speaker 5: 60, you can all go and get absolutely stuffed.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Not get stuffed.
- 5:12Speaker 5: No, you can. You can go and get stuffed.
- 5:14Speaker 2: You're just third on the ranking.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Well, no one cares, mate. If you're 20 and craving
- 5:18Speaker 4: a Christmas present, grow up.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's fair.
- 5:20Speaker 5: It's about the younger folk and the older folk. Less
- 5:23Speaker 5: is more with presents.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep. No, I'm with you.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Now, you shouldn't be buying everyone a $ 40 or a
- 5:30Speaker 4: $ 50 present.
- 5:31Speaker 2: All right?
- 5:32Speaker 5: Organise the Kris Kringle, Sammy.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Yep.
- 5:34Speaker 7: All right?
- 5:35Speaker 5: One good present.
- 5:36Speaker 2: That's it. Just a goodie. Do you have a cash limit?
- 5:40Speaker 5: We have done that.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's like $ 200, but you only get
- 5:42Speaker 4: one present in a Kris Kringle.
- 5:44Speaker 2: No, but you're better off.
- 5:44Speaker 1: $ 200?
- 5:45Speaker 4: Well, you're not buying like $ 14, $ 50 presents.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I agree.
- 5:49Speaker 4: And it's just crap that you accumulate. There is no
- 5:53Speaker 4: substance to it. Get one good present. You're far better
- 5:56Speaker 4: off doing that, folks. Organize a Kris Kringle, please.
- 5:59Speaker 5: Number two.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Number two? Oh, sorry.
- 6:02Speaker 4: I had two here, but yeah, I'm at about number six.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Number six, tone down the dress-ups.
- 6:08Speaker 7: All right?
- 6:08Speaker 4: We're not there for a beauty pageant. If you're coming
- 6:11Speaker 4: in wearing really nice chinos and shirts, no, not on.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Christmas is about being relaxed. My mum and others and
- 6:17Speaker 4: my beautiful grandma, they get into me because I rock
- 6:19Speaker 4: up in a farm shirt, thongs, and they say, oh, geez,
- 6:23Speaker 4: you're dressed up.
- 6:24Speaker 2: I say.
- 6:24Speaker 4: I'm here to be comfortable and I'm here to be happy.
- 6:26Speaker 4: So tone down your dress-ups, Grandma. Maybe you could actually
- 6:29Speaker 4: come down to my level rather than me coming up
- 6:31Speaker 4: to yours.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Ooh, fighting words.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Last one, leftovers are critical. So if you're thinking, oh,
- 6:37Speaker 4: we've got 12 guests, don't cook for 12, cook for 24.
- 6:40Speaker 4: We need food for the next four or five days,
- 6:43Speaker 4: particularly the Boxing Day test.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Of course. That is it. That's not bad. That's not bad.
- 6:46Speaker 2: How many did you say you had?
- 6:48Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 6:48Speaker 5: I just wrote them all down.
- 6:49Speaker 2: I thought we had like a top 10, but I
- 6:50Speaker 2: think it was only seven or something.
- 6:51Speaker 5: I think it's seven or eight or something.
- 6:52Speaker 3: I'll take that. That's not bad. If you agree or disagree,
- 6:55Speaker 3: 8223 0000. I'm kind of with you on most of them, though,
- 6:58Speaker 3: so we're a bit boring then.
- 6:59Speaker 5: Oh, that's good, though.
- 7:00Speaker 4: But we could help with the listeners, kind of build
- 7:03Speaker 4: out 10 or so.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Yeah, and it'll help make their Christmas just as easy
- 7:08Speaker 2: as well. Yeah. Here's Rob.
- 7:10Speaker 4: I mean, Rob's gotten all serious for a moment. Rob,
- 7:12Speaker 4: that's unusual when you send in something serious, but it's true.
- 7:16Speaker 4: Don't leave it all to one person to contribute on
- 7:20Speaker 4: the day. Don't just rock up and sit there. Yeah, Rob,
- 7:23Speaker 4: I reckon that's a great call. Too many people do that.
- 7:25Speaker 2: It is a bit weird when Rob doesn't do zingers,
- 7:27Speaker 2: isn't it?
- 7:27Speaker 7: I know.
- 7:27Speaker 5: I was expecting a zinger there, Rob, but you were
- 7:29Speaker 5: being all serious.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Come on. Boring.
- 7:32Speaker 5: We need our text line comedian, please. Marge at Hampstead Gardens.
- 7:35Speaker 8: Hello. Hi.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Ned, you sound like Uncle Scrooge.
- 7:39Speaker 5: Uncle what?
- 7:40Speaker 2: Uncle Scrooge. All right.
- 7:42Speaker 5: Well, come on, Marge. I'm putting it all together.
- 7:44Speaker 9: I'm glad I'm not going to your place for Christmas.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Have you got some rules?
- 7:49Speaker 5: Marge, you would love my place for Christmas.
- 7:52Speaker 7: Yeah, probably would.
- 7:53Speaker 1: We'd love that.
- 7:54Speaker 5: We'd hang out. We'd have a couple of fruffies.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Do you drink? Oh, yeah.
- 7:58Speaker 9: I just have two bourbons.
- 7:59Speaker 6: That's it.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Beautiful.
- 8:00Speaker 5: I'll have a bourbon with you.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Beautiful. Bourbon.
- 8:02Speaker 4: We'll go and check the cattle. I'll put a lamb on,
- 8:04Speaker 4: and then we'd bloody, I don't know, start winding down
- 8:07Speaker 4: and fall asleep.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Oh, how boring.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Oh, well, what do you want to do, Marge? What
- 8:14Speaker 5: are your Christmas rules?
- 8:15Speaker 1: I don't fall asleep. Oh, what?
- 8:18Speaker 2: Well, go on, Marge. What's your ideal Christmas?
- 8:20Speaker 5: You want to be a nocturnal possum or something?
- 8:22Speaker 10: Oh, I haven't got any family because they're all dead.
- 8:25Speaker 7: Oh, Marge.
- 8:26Speaker 5: I'm sorry to hear that.
- 8:26Speaker 7: But then, Marge, I've got a couple of friends.
- 8:28Speaker 9: We just have a quiet day.
- 8:29Speaker 2: It's all right.
- 8:30Speaker 6: We have their plan, you know.
- 8:32Speaker 7: Get all the old gals together.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Do you do a Kris Kringle or do you buy
- 8:37Speaker 3: everyone presents, Marge?
- 8:40Speaker 11: Oh, just small things, you know.
- 8:42Speaker 6: I buy things that they need, you know, that they
- 8:46Speaker 6: can use.
- 8:47Speaker 4: Little bits and pieces for those friends. Oh, that's good
- 8:49Speaker 4: you guys get together like that, Marge.
- 8:51Speaker 6: When you're my age, you don't want stuff you can't
- 8:53Speaker 6: take with you.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Oh, Marge.
- 8:56Speaker 8: Marge.
- 8:56Speaker 2: No, that's funny.
- 8:57Speaker 5: That is funny. You are funny.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Now, Marge, how is your dispute going with your neighbour?
- 9:02Speaker 4: Are you still being a grump about that rubbish bin
- 9:04Speaker 4: or have you lightened up a bit?
- 9:07Speaker 2: I haven't seen it.
- 9:08Speaker 10: The bin's still out there.
- 9:09Speaker 11: It's full of rubbish.
- 9:10Speaker 7: She puts it out the day after.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Oh.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I've given up that. It's not my problem.
- 9:15Speaker 4: No, not your problem. Just go with the flow.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Oh, well, Marge, all right.
- 9:19Speaker 5: Goodbye.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Well done, Marge. Thank you.
- 9:21Speaker 5: Thanks for your call, Marge. We love you.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Julie and Tea Tree Gully, good morning.
- 9:26Speaker 7: Good morning.
- 9:28Speaker 5: Why are you chasing a cat there, Jules?
- 9:31Speaker 10: Yeah, my big fat cat.
- 9:33Speaker 7: It's overfed and spoiled.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Big fat cat, big fat cat, a jolly big fat cat.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Keep going, Julie.
- 9:43Speaker 6: Julie, your line sounds terrible.
- 9:45Speaker 7: Can you put your phone up properly, please?
- 9:48Speaker 1: Yeah, a bit better.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Still not great.
- 9:49Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 9:58Speaker 10: I don't know if it's up at Gould Creek. We
- 10:03Speaker 10: have four daughters. I've got four daughters and four son-in-laws
- 10:08Speaker 10: and nine grandchildren.
- 10:10Speaker 8: Oh, wow.
- 10:10Speaker 10: And a big Christmas Eve. But it all starts pageant day.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Wow.
- 10:18Speaker 10: I'll be going in at 2.30 on Padgett Eve and
- 10:22Speaker 10: we all dress up in our Christmas gear for the
- 10:27Speaker 10: pageant and then when it comes to Christmas and we
- 10:30Speaker 10: have a great time and then they all go home
- 10:31Speaker 10: and put their Christmas trees up and then we have
- 10:36Speaker 10: Christmas Eve at my son-in-law's place who's got.
- 10:39Speaker 9: A very large backyard and.
- 10:43Speaker 10: There'd be a few friends as well And we play
- 10:49Speaker 10: backyard cricket.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Oh, stop it.
- 10:50Speaker 10: We have games.
- 10:53Speaker 2: It is the best.
- 10:54Speaker 10: We do the presents. And then everybody can go off
- 10:58Speaker 10: and do their own thing on Christmas Day with their
- 11:02Speaker 10: prospective in-laws, families.
- 11:05Speaker 6: Yep.
- 11:06Speaker 10: So it's a pretty good idea, and it's great.
- 11:08Speaker 1: I love it.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Love it, love it, love it.
- 11:12Speaker 10: And the games, it's great. And the kids range from four– No, no,
- 11:17Speaker 10: he's five today. Five to 24.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Oh, brilliant. So that's a nice range, Jules.
- 11:25Speaker 5: Nice range, yes.
- 11:26Speaker 3: Julie, did you say you headed for the Christmas pageant
- 11:28Speaker 3: at 2.30 on Christmas Eve, on pageant eve?
- 11:33Speaker 7: Yep, today I'm sitting, this year I'm sitting.
- 11:35Speaker 10: People sleep on the street. I mean, not that unfortunate.
- 11:41Speaker 2: But people go in and.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Are we talking about you're rocking up at 2.30 in
- 11:45Speaker 3: the morning to save a spot?
- 11:47Speaker 8: Yep.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Dedication right there.
- 11:48Speaker 5: That's amazing.
- 11:49Speaker 2: That's dedication.
- 11:51Speaker 11: We do.
- 11:51Speaker 10: We got there late once at about 4.35, and it
- 11:55Speaker 10: was really hard to get a spot.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Where's your favourite spot?
- 11:59Speaker 6: Well, actually, it's opposite you've got.
- 12:02Speaker 10: It's Highmar Square now, but on the other side, so
- 12:05Speaker 10: where the Pullman is.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Yep.
- 12:07Speaker 7: But then you have to wait until now what we've
- 12:09Speaker 7: got to do, because we're getting released with, because there's probably– Oh,
- 12:15Speaker 7: there's 12, 20 of us and whatever, everybody else too.
- 12:19Speaker 7: And we have to wait until the road closes. So
- 12:23Speaker 7: we have to chalk while the road's still open. We
- 12:26Speaker 7: chalk our mark out where our spot's going to be
- 12:29Speaker 7: to reserve it.
- 12:30Speaker 11: And then when the road closes, we.
- 12:34Speaker 10: Run and get our spot and then lay everything out.
- 12:37Speaker 1: And then.
- 12:39Speaker 10: The parents will bring, well, we'll bring the kids in
- 12:44Speaker 10: a bit later so they're not waiting.
- 12:46Speaker 7: And it's just a really special day.
- 12:48Speaker 6: It's great.
- 12:49Speaker 7: And the kids get to chalk, but you have to.
- 12:52Speaker 1: I've made it 2.30 this year.
- 12:54Speaker 6: Okay.
- 12:55Speaker 7: On the box, I can do that.
- 12:56Speaker 4: So your Christmas rule is getting to the pageant early
- 12:59Speaker 4: and securing.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Your spot, Julie. Well done, Julie. Thank you, Julie.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Let us know closer to the pageant what you're going
- 13:05Speaker 3: to be taking and how you're going to survive from 2.30.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Then we want to hear on the back end of it.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Here's something we could do as well off the back
- 13:11Speaker 4: of Julie's call. Who's got the fattest cat? Because Peter
- 13:15Speaker 4: from Woodville has just sent in a photo of a
- 13:18Speaker 4: very fat cat.
- 13:19Speaker 2: That's just from Google, though, I think.
- 13:21Speaker 5: Oh, Peter, I thought that was your cat.
- 13:23Speaker 2: That's the biggest cat I've ever seen.
- 13:24Speaker 4: I thought we could do a whole thing where our
- 13:26Speaker 4: listeners send in their cats and we see which one's
- 13:28Speaker 4: the fattest.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Because that really works for radio, doesn't it?
- 13:31Speaker 8: Oh, true.
- 13:33Speaker 5: Not a good idea.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Mike in O'Sullivan Beach, good morning.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Good morning. Christmas, this year, comes on a Friday. On
- 13:41Speaker 1: Friday morning, I have the neighbours in. On a Sunday,
- 13:45Speaker 1: we have our family.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 13:47Speaker 1: So that all works out perfectly.
- 13:49Speaker 3: So you're doing a family Christmas the day after Boxing Day?
- 13:53Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's a Sunday.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 13:56Speaker 1: And we do the Christmas cringle, we do fish, fish
- 14:02Speaker 1: on a barbie. and one of the boys will become
- 14:06Speaker 1: Father Christmas, and he delivers all the presents. He'll have
- 14:10Speaker 1: a really good day.
- 14:11Speaker 2: That's great.
- 14:12Speaker 4: Hey, Mike, that's wonderful you have the neighbours over. Is
- 14:15Speaker 4: that just a real sense of community where you live?
- 14:18Speaker 1: Yeah, all the neighbours are good except one, so we
- 14:21Speaker 1: leave him out.
- 14:24Speaker 2: What did they do to rub you up the wrong way?
- 14:26Speaker 1: Bumped into my son's car.
- 14:30Speaker 2: That'll do it. Yeah, that's bad. That'll do it.
- 14:32Speaker 5: That's really bad.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Mike, thank you for that. Great Christmas rules there, mate.
- 14:37Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Gary at Collinswood, have you got a couple?
- 14:41Speaker 11: Yeah, look, guys, with presents now, we just buy for
- 14:44Speaker 11: the kids because there's that many of them. So we
- 14:47Speaker 11: just buy for the kids. And with the food, whoever
- 14:51Speaker 11: they're coming, someone will bring a salad, someone will bring
- 14:57Speaker 11: a dessert. you know, someone will bring a ham, whatever,
- 15:01Speaker 11: so it's not just on that one person makes it
- 15:04Speaker 11: fair for everybody. Now, Ned, I reckon if you went
- 15:07Speaker 11: to Julie from Blakeview, you'd have to be wearing a
- 15:10Speaker 11: Port Power Guernsey. That's what you'd be wearing in there.
- 15:13Speaker 3: He's wearing a nice Port Adelaide blue as we speak.
- 15:17Speaker 2: So he would look good in the teal.
- 15:19Speaker 5: No, no, I will never put on that filth, Gary.
- 15:22Speaker 4: If you go.
- 15:23Speaker 11: To Julie from Blakeviews, You will be wearing one. You'll
- 15:28Speaker 11: be sitting in a Port Power chair.
- 15:29Speaker 9: There'll be some tinsel on it, and.
- 15:31Speaker 11: There'll be Port Power placemats, and I'm sure she's even
- 15:36Speaker 11: got a Port Power coaster for you.
- 15:38Speaker 4: Well, I'm not interested in that, Gary. And I've got
- 15:41Speaker 4: to say, listen, I love Julie from Blakeview. She's one
- 15:44Speaker 4: of our great callers.
- 15:46Speaker 5: She is.
- 15:46Speaker 4: But I'm not going to spend Christmas at her house
- 15:48Speaker 4: respectfully to Julie from Blakeview.
- 15:50Speaker 5: I'll probably be with my family, wouldn't I, Gary?
- 15:54Speaker 11: Yes, but you could also.
- 15:56Speaker 5: Boxing Day, on the other hand, that's a different story.
- 15:58Speaker 11: Well, you could go there on Boxing Day.
- 16:02Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 16:03Speaker 11: Well, are you coming, Gary?
- 16:04Speaker 4: What are you doing for Boxing Day? Why can't I
- 16:06Speaker 4: get invited to your house?
- 16:07Speaker 2: Oh, if you want to, you're most welcome.
- 16:10Speaker 5: That'd be great, Gaz.
- 16:11Speaker 2: That'd be fun.
- 16:12Speaker 11: No, we'll have to get together.
- 16:14Speaker 5: Yeah, no, love it.
- 16:15Speaker 11: All right, boys.
- 16:16Speaker 2: All right, see you, Gary. Well done, Gaz.
- 16:18Speaker 5: See you, brother.
- 16:19Speaker 4: At some stage, we have to make some of our
- 16:21Speaker 4: listeners properly, Sammy. And it's starting to do my head in.
- 16:24Speaker 2: We've got to do some sort of activation.
- 16:26Speaker 5: Well, it's paying me off. All right, Sammy?
- 16:28Speaker 2: It is. Seriously.
- 16:30Speaker 8: We need some.
- 16:31Speaker 5: I've always said a sausage sizzle or something would be fabulous.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Well, we're running out of time in the year. We've
- 16:35Speaker 2: only got a few more weeks left.
- 16:36Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Why are you not giving us next year? Do you
- 16:38Speaker 4: think we'll get fired? I think it's a massive chance.
- 16:40Speaker 1: 50-50.
- 16:40Speaker 4: I genuinely think it's 50-50 we get fired.
- 16:45Speaker 2: 20 after 5.
- 16:45Speaker 3: 8-double-2-3-double-0-double-0-0-double-5. 4808 1395. Keep the calls coming. Got plenty of
- 16:51Speaker 3: texts we'll get to as well shortly. Here until 6.
- 16:54Speaker 3: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto.
- 16:56Speaker 2: 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 16:58Speaker 3: 23 out of 5 on this Thursday.
- 17:04Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones. Sue in Mylaw. Good morning.
- 17:07Speaker 5: Morning.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Hey, what's this?
- 17:09Speaker 8: You're nicking off in two weeks?
- 17:11Speaker 6: No.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Oh, no, just end of year. I think it's mid-December.
- 17:14Speaker 8: I thought you said you were leaving in two weeks.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Okay.
- 17:17Speaker 4: No, we've still got plenty of time. Are we having
- 17:19Speaker 4: time off in December, Sammy?
- 17:20Speaker 2: I think the 11th is our last day. It's the
- 17:22Speaker 2: last day for everyone when the summer crew comes in.
- 17:25Speaker 5: We've got to come down to the.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Op shop, Sue.
- 17:27Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I don't have anybody, so I do nothing
- 17:32Speaker 8: over Christmas. It's just me and the pussycat. I don't
- 17:37Speaker 8: have one, so we might have a bit of barbecue
- 17:40Speaker 8: chicken or something. But apart from Christmas Day, the op
- 17:44Speaker 8: shop will be open as normal.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:47Speaker 8: And we will be super busy.
- 17:49Speaker 4: A lot of people crack along pretty normally, Sue. Sorry
- 17:52Speaker 4: to interrupt you then, but a lot do that time
- 17:55Speaker 4: of year, don't they?
- 17:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:56Speaker 8: Yeah, well, we'll be there Boxing Day onwards, and we
- 18:02Speaker 8: get absolutely inundated with donations.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:06Speaker 8: We just get swamped. So it's all hands on deck
- 18:13Speaker 8: and we just continue. Some op shops do close over
- 18:16Speaker 8: the January period, but we don't. We just keep slugging
- 18:21Speaker 8: along and floating away as usual and keeping the doors open.
- 18:27Speaker 8: I'm not a big Christmas person, so I might visit
- 18:30Speaker 8: the old lady down the road and say hello to her,
- 18:34Speaker 8: but apart from that, it'll just be another quiet one.
- 18:39Speaker 8: That's just the way it's been for many years, so
- 18:44Speaker 8: that's just me.
- 18:45Speaker 5: Still green there at Mylaw, Sue?
- 18:47Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
- 18:48Speaker 8: The grass has gone ballistic here at the moment. I
- 18:51Speaker 8: had my friend come in and cut around the back
- 18:56Speaker 8: garden and that last week, but I've got to do
- 18:59Speaker 8: the rest of myself with my battery mower. But it's
- 19:03Speaker 8: gone berserk this year. I'm thinking... We've been told it's
- 19:07Speaker 8: going to be a really good hay season. Last year
- 19:10Speaker 8: was terrible and, you know, we're paying up to $ 40
- 19:13Speaker 8: a bale for loosens. But it's dropped back a bit
- 19:17Speaker 8: this year. So what has gone up is bags of feed.
- 19:22Speaker 4: All my.
- 19:23Speaker 8: bags of chook food and bird seed and all that stuff,
- 19:27Speaker 8: that's really skyrocketed this year.
- 19:29Speaker 5: What do you use for your chook feed? Do you
- 19:31Speaker 5: just need wheat or barley or something, Sue?
- 19:33Speaker 8: Well, our local photo store here in Mylar is Cooper's,
- 19:37Speaker 8: and they mix their own.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Oh, don't buy that rubbish, Sue. Seriously, I can drop
- 19:44Speaker 4: off a tonne of wheat for you.
- 19:46Speaker 2: No worries.
- 19:47Speaker 8: There's wheat in it, but I like to give them
- 19:49Speaker 8: a variety. My chooks eat better than I do.
- 19:52Speaker 2: They're bloody chooks, mate.
- 19:53Speaker 8: They're frozen corn and they're crash lupins and they're large
- 19:58Speaker 8: parrot seed in there and they eat very well. No
- 20:01Speaker 8: wonder it's expensive.
- 20:03Speaker 2: It sounds like a buffet.
- 20:04Speaker 8: It's like a muesli for chickens.
- 20:05Speaker 5: What, do they have crayfish and stuff as well?
- 20:07Speaker 6: No, no, but.
- 20:09Speaker 8: Tell you what they do like is they like popcorn,
- 20:11Speaker 8: they like watermelon, and they love grape.
- 20:15Speaker 4: Okay.
- 20:16Speaker 5: No wonder they're so happy. All right, well, just ignore
- 20:19Speaker 5: my offer for just some boring grape.
- 20:21Speaker 6: Thank you anyway.
- 20:21Speaker 8: I appreciate that. No, but no.
- 20:23Speaker 7: All right.
- 20:24Speaker 8: Appreciate it.
- 20:25Speaker 2: See you, Sue. Well done, Sue. Thank you, Sue. Dave
- 20:27Speaker 2: in Meadows, good morning.
- 20:30Speaker 6: Hi, boys.
- 20:30Speaker 12: How are you going?
- 20:31Speaker 7: Good.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Good.
- 20:33Speaker 12: Listen, I was just listening to you boys and, you know,
- 20:36Speaker 12: you're talking about, You don't know if you're coming back
- 20:39Speaker 12: next year, but I reckon my thought is that we
- 20:43Speaker 12: should start a petition now and put it down to
- 20:45Speaker 12: everybody to tell everybody how bloody good you two are
- 20:49Speaker 12: to listen to in the morning.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Talk.
- 20:51Speaker 12: You talk bloody crap.
- 20:51Speaker 2: I read that one. Oi, Davo. No, no matter what,
- 20:55Speaker 2: that word doesn't go to air. Really? No matter what.
- 20:58Speaker 5: Little F-bomb there, Dave. That's okay.
- 21:00Speaker 3: I appreciate it, though. There are different forms of swearing
- 21:04Speaker 3: when it comes to radio. There are some when they're
- 21:06Speaker 3: nasty and those ones can get stuff. But there's some
- 21:09Speaker 3: when they just get really animated and into it and
- 21:11Speaker 3: they just forget they're on radio for a second. And
- 21:13Speaker 3: that's what Dave did just then. So Dave's fine.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Dave's fine. That was fine, wasn't it?
- 21:18Speaker 5: Yeah, just a little F-bomb.
- 21:19Speaker 2: We don't want an F-bomb.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Dave, you're not helping our cause. They're asked to come
- 21:23Speaker 3: back next year if you're dropping F-bombs on here and
- 21:25Speaker 3: they get through.
- 21:25Speaker 2: But anyway, anyway, anyway. A couple of texts coming in, though. Yeah,
- 21:30Speaker 2: let's do some texts, please. We're going to give the
- 21:31Speaker 2: text line some love.
- 21:32Speaker 5: Oh, it needs some lovey love. Yeah, okay.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Rob.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Do you re-gift, boys?
- 21:39Speaker 4: And do you have your eye on something you're planning
- 21:41Speaker 4: to give away this year.
- 21:42Speaker 5: From last year's haul?
- 21:44Speaker 2: I'm a big re-gifter.
- 21:45Speaker 5: You're not, are you?
- 21:46Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness.
- 21:48Speaker 3: But not so much when it comes to Christmas presents
- 21:50Speaker 3: from people. In this position at AA, we're lucky that
- 21:54Speaker 3: a lot of things do come across.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Our desk from PR agencies.
- 21:59Speaker 5: That's embarrassing if you do.
- 22:00Speaker 2: And I've used some stuff in the past as gifts.
- 22:03Speaker 5: You're joking.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Well, they're only going to go to waste if we don't.
- 22:06Speaker 2: That's insane. And a lot of people have loved them.
- 22:08Speaker 5: That's insane. Sammy, that is honestly.
- 22:11Speaker 2: I think that's just smart and savvy.
- 22:13Speaker 4: Sometimes I carry on and just make a lot of
- 22:16Speaker 4: something that's not necessarily that bad.
- 22:18Speaker 2: That's embarrassing. Nah, it's good.
- 22:20Speaker 5: If you do that, and that's true, I am horrified
- 22:23Speaker 5: by that.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Well, be horrified then.
- 22:25Speaker 5: 8223 0000. Sam is using PR donations.
- 22:30Speaker 4: Well, what do you think our sponsors are going to
- 22:31Speaker 4: say when they're sending in a teapack or something and
- 22:34Speaker 4: they're finding out that it's going to.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Oh, I'm using the deal on the teapack. I'm using that.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
- 22:40Speaker 5: No, well, you know what I mean.
- 22:41Speaker 2: That is extraordinary.
- 22:42Speaker 5: Are you just putting it as an add-on?
- 22:45Speaker 2: Yeah, add-on. It's add-on. It's to buff it out. Don't
- 22:48Speaker 2: come clawing back now. It makes it look like the
- 22:51Speaker 2: gift bag's full.
- 22:53Speaker 5: That's insane.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That's just smart.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Who re-gifts and is that okay? 8223 0000. Yeah, I hope.
- 22:59Speaker 3: You've never been in a position where you've re-gifted to
- 23:01Speaker 3: the person that gave you the gift to start with.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Now, that would be awkward.
- 23:03Speaker 5: What, a couple of years later?
- 23:04Speaker 4: Yeah. Or, you know, you give them a book or
- 23:07Speaker 4: something and someone's written a nice note on the inside
- 23:10Speaker 4: page and You know, you've got to scrub it out
- 23:13Speaker 4: or redo a card. Has anyone re-gifted a card? Now,
- 23:16Speaker 4: that would be really bad.
- 23:18Speaker 2: No, surely not. Even I'm not doing that. Meg on
- 23:21Speaker 2: the text line, she raises a very good point. Morning, boys.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Love your show. I've been thinking since Tuesday. I can't
- 23:27Speaker 3: stand that Bloody Horses song by Daryl Braithwaite. Everyone loves it.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Does my head in. Boys, does that make me un-Australian?
- 23:36Speaker 4: That's the way it's going to be when I'm calling
- 23:39Speaker 4: my name.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Is there anything in your life that you think, oh,
- 23:47Speaker 3: or something you don't want to admit to because it
- 23:48Speaker 3: could be classed as un-Australian? Yeah.
- 23:51Speaker 5: Or what's a song that drives you up the wall?
- 23:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:55Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 23:55Speaker 5: 8223... It used to drive me up the wall.
- 23:57Speaker 2: It used to drive me up the wall.
- 23:58Speaker 4: Really?
- 23:59Speaker 3: I couldn't stand it. Back in my youth, when I'd
- 24:02Speaker 3: be going out, it would come on. I'd always get
- 24:04Speaker 3: the sound. I'm like, oh, this song. But now I
- 24:06Speaker 3: just get into it.
- 24:07Speaker 2: It's good. There's no point fighting it. It's everywhere.
- 24:10Speaker 4: 8223-0000, a song that drives you up the wall. What's
- 24:13Speaker 4: one song that everyone seems to love that you just
- 24:15Speaker 4: can't get into? Off the back of Meg's great text
- 24:19Speaker 4: there regarding horses.
- 24:21Speaker 5: Any other songs you can think of or anything?
- 24:22Speaker 2: Not off the top of my head.
- 24:24Speaker 4: One thing that I have noticed is, is it becoming
- 24:27Speaker 4: more common for artists to lip-sync? Now, I'm not accusing
- 24:31Speaker 4: the great entertainer of this at the Spring Carnival, but
- 24:34Speaker 4: there's no way Robbie would sing.
- 24:37Speaker 3: I haven't watched it live. It sounded pretty Robbie. I
- 24:41Speaker 3: don't think Robbie Williams is one to lip-sync.
- 24:44Speaker 6: No. No.
- 24:45Speaker 3: There have been, I went to see, I took mum
- 24:47Speaker 3: to Cliff Richards last year.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:49Speaker 3: Old British singer, bit of congratulations, congratulations, that one. And
- 24:54Speaker 3: mum was loving it, tapping her foot away. I think
- 24:58Speaker 3: old Cliffy, he might be, he might be doing a
- 25:00Speaker 3: bit of lip syncing. He's getting up there in the age.
- 25:03Speaker 5: How do they do it with lip syncing?
- 25:04Speaker 4: Like they obviously still need the microphone to have some
- 25:08Speaker 4: level of audio because they're engaging with the crowd and
- 25:10Speaker 4: it's not like you put on Spotify and just off
- 25:12Speaker 4: you go.
- 25:13Speaker 3: I think it's harder than it would look because you've
- 25:16Speaker 3: got to hit your marks properly. But if you've been
- 25:18Speaker 3: doing it for decades, you'd know exactly where the lyrics
- 25:20Speaker 3: are supposed to come in.
- 25:21Speaker 2: But, yeah. Tricky. Has anyone.
- 25:24Speaker 5: Yeah, this is really niche, but this has worked before.
- 25:26Speaker 2: It does.
- 25:27Speaker 4: Has anyone ever been to a concert where they suspect
- 25:30Speaker 4: the artist was lip-syncing? Or you know 100% that they were.
- 25:34Speaker 4: And what was the experience like? Would you be frustrated
- 25:37Speaker 4: if you went and saw an act and they were lip-syncing?
- 25:40Speaker 4: Because the music's still the music you love.
- 25:42Speaker 2: They're there.
- 25:42Speaker 5: They're performing.
- 25:43Speaker 3: I remember I had a family friend a long time
- 25:45Speaker 3: ago and we were discussing live versions of songs.
- 25:49Speaker 8: The....
- 25:52Speaker 3: And he would complain that the concert was never as
- 25:57Speaker 3: good because you learn the album and how they sing
- 25:59Speaker 3: it on the album.
- 26:01Speaker 2: But the live, they always do it differently.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the studio, I mean, they'd probably sing it
- 26:05Speaker 4: 40 times and it's all cut up in small sections
- 26:07Speaker 4: and put together.
- 26:08Speaker 3: So he was never a fan. So I feel like
- 26:10Speaker 3: he would have always been one that would have preferred
- 26:12Speaker 3: lip syncing.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Wow. But, yeah, no, great question.
- 26:15Speaker 3: If you've ever been to a concert and you've suspected
- 26:18Speaker 3: lip syncing, how have you felt?
- 26:20Speaker 5: Have you ever seen it?
- 26:21Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And would you be frustrated if someone did that?
- 26:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:24Speaker 5: Would love to know.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Just off the back of that Robbie Williams performance. I mean,
- 26:27Speaker 4: goodness me, he was good.
- 26:28Speaker 2: I don't think he's lip syncing. I love him.
- 26:30Speaker 5: Of course.
- 26:31Speaker 4: But watching it, I suspect that he was lip-syncing.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Interesting. But I might be wrong. I'll just go back
- 26:35Speaker 2: and review the tape.
- 26:36Speaker 5: I am wrong. Raymond on the text line, annoying song,
- 26:38Speaker 5: the Crows theme song.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Yep, I'm with you there.
- 26:40Speaker 5: Raymond, get absolutely stuffed.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Hello, Julie.
- 26:42Speaker 3: At least be original. Don't steal the Marines marching song.
- 26:45Speaker 3: At least Port Adelaide have an original song.
- 26:47Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, Never Tear Us Apart. That's super original.
- 26:49Speaker 2: That's not the theme song.
- 26:50Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, but you still.
- 26:51Speaker 2: You're playing sandstorm to a bunch of... No, we won't
- 26:53Speaker 2: go there.
- 26:54Speaker 4: You knocked off In Excess and acted like you'd come
- 26:57Speaker 4: up with the concept.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Now you're just being jealous.
- 26:59Speaker 3: That just sounds like someone who's jealous of the Port
- 27:01Speaker 3: Adelaide pre-game entertainment.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Koshy found himself over in England, did he, and went
- 27:06Speaker 4: to a Liverpool game and then brought it back.
- 27:07Speaker 2: One of Koshy's favourite bands is In Excess. That's how
- 27:09Speaker 2: it happened.
- 27:10Speaker 11: Oh, really?
- 27:10Speaker 5: Oh, really? So creative, Koshi. No one else around the
- 27:13Speaker 5: world's doing that.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Well, no one else is doing it in Australia.
- 27:15Speaker 6: Julie!
- 27:16Speaker 2: We're fine. Julie, help.
- 27:18Speaker 9: Good morning, Sammy and Ned.
- 27:20Speaker 6: You leave Port Adelaide.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Alone, Ned.
- 27:23Speaker 9: And good morning, Gary of Collinswood.
- 27:25Speaker 6: And if Sam came.
- 27:27Speaker 9: If Ned came to my house, I would make sure
- 27:29Speaker 9: that the chair that he sat on was a Port
- 27:32Speaker 9: Adelaide chair. But then again, I'd have to go and
- 27:34Speaker 9: scrub it up because I had a crow's bum on it.
- 27:37Speaker 4: So.
- 27:39Speaker 9: Songs, I agree. That horse's song drives me nuts too. Sam,
- 27:45Speaker 9: what do you have for Christmas lunch? Roast tofu?
- 27:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Is that a serious question, Julie? It's actually funny.
- 27:53Speaker 6: Well, Sammy, what am I.
- 27:55Speaker 9: Sammy, Sammy, you know I love you, but I have
- 27:58Speaker 9: to ask, what does your poor mum cook you for Christmas?
- 28:03Speaker 2: I think I've discussed this before.
- 28:05Speaker 3: Christmas Day is the one day of the year I
- 28:08Speaker 3: eat meat.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Are you joking?
- 28:10Speaker 10: You haven't said that before, Sam.
- 28:11Speaker 5: He's such a fake vegan, isn't he, Julie?
- 28:13Speaker 2: You're going to feel bad when I tell you why.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Back in about 2004... It was my grandfather's last Christmas,
- 28:20Speaker 3: and we didn't know about it then.
- 28:21Speaker 6: Oh.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Mum's dad, Papa, Philip.
- 28:24Speaker 1: Yes.
- 28:24Speaker 3: He passed away in early January due to cancer. He
- 28:28Speaker 3: was the one that taught me how to peel prawns
- 28:32Speaker 3: on Christmas Day and would sit down together and.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Would eat a bowl of prawns.
- 28:36Speaker 5: Yeah, that's nice.
- 28:37Speaker 3: So every Christmas still, I'll have a couple of prawns
- 28:40Speaker 3: because that's what Papa taught me back in the day.
- 28:42Speaker 5: So you're not having a big lamb or something?
- 28:44Speaker 2: No. You just have prawns?
- 28:45Speaker 1: Yes.
- 28:46Speaker 4: I don't want it.
- 28:46Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 28:48Speaker 2: So now you feel bad, don't you, Ned? I don't
- 28:49Speaker 2: feel bad at all. Sorry, Jules, you go.
- 28:52Speaker 9: Hence my initial question. What do you have when everybody
- 28:57Speaker 9: else is having roast turkey or chicken or pork or whatever?
- 29:00Speaker 2: I can't remember.
- 29:02Speaker 9: Are you having roast tofu?
- 29:04Speaker 2: Yeah, do you have tofu? Mum will make me some
- 29:05Speaker 2: face duties or something.
- 29:07Speaker 5: Pumpkin soup?
- 29:08Speaker 3: I don't like pumpkin soup, but anything with pumpkin and
- 29:10Speaker 3: lentils or a lentil salad, that's fine.
- 29:11Speaker 5: That's nice.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Tasty. Nutritious.
- 29:14Speaker 5: Sounds so much.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Worse than lamb.
- 29:16Speaker 7: Yes, Julie?
- 29:18Speaker 9: Do you go back to that place they call Victoria
- 29:23Speaker 9: for Christmas? I know it's not your home. You don't
- 29:26Speaker 9: go home and see Grandma McHenry?
- 29:29Speaker 4: Julie, I will go home for a couple of days,
- 29:32Speaker 4: probably only 24 hours because I can't be away from
- 29:34Speaker 4: the farm for too long.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Okay.
- 29:37Speaker 4: I've been listening to Ben Carroll and Neil Mitchell and 3AW.
- 29:41Speaker 4: That state, honestly, I don't know as much about politics
- 29:46Speaker 4: as you do, Sam, but that Labor government in Victoria
- 29:50Speaker 4: is honestly in all sorts.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Do you agree with that or not?
- 29:52Speaker 2: I just think Victoria is in all sorts.
- 29:55Speaker 3: I saw something else from Tom Elliott during the week,
- 29:59Speaker 3: and this is really getting to a bit of Victorian politics,
- 30:01Speaker 3: but one of the most debated things in that state,
- 30:04Speaker 3: has been a rail line to the airport to Southern
- 30:07Speaker 3: Cross Station. Supposedly, I was reading, and I don't know
- 30:10Speaker 3: the intricacies of it, but this is on the 3AW website,
- 30:13Speaker 3: that a private consortium came to the government and said,
- 30:16Speaker 3: we'll build it for free.
- 30:16Speaker 2: At no cost to the taxpayer. And the government said, no, no,
- 30:19Speaker 2: we don't want that.
- 30:20Speaker 5: Dan Andrews... This.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Is the government that paid someone else to have the
- 30:24Speaker 3: Commonwealth Games, paid another business not to build a freeway.
- 30:27Speaker 5: If Dan Andrews doesn't spend time in jail, I'll be horrified.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Anyway, Julie, we're in the weeds and we're kind of
- 30:33Speaker 4: chatting like we'd chat around a coffee table. So we've
- 30:35Speaker 4: got to remember we're presenting a radio show on 5AA.
- 30:39Speaker 4: Welcome to Early Breakfast. Thank you, Julie, from Blakeview.
- 30:42Speaker 9: Thank you, Ned and Sammy. You put me off now.
- 30:47Speaker 9: I forget what else I was going to say.
- 30:49Speaker 2: No, we've got to keep naming Jules.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Have a think about it, Jules. We'll be back tomorrow, Julie.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Quickly before the break, of course, Tom Wren not far away.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Sean in Tea Tree Gully.
- 30:57Speaker 13: Good morning.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Morning, legends. Funny talking about Melbourne. I'm actually in Melbourne
- 31:02Speaker 1: for the Spring Carnival.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not really happy over here. That's the thing.
- 31:08Speaker 4: I mean, Spring Carnival, there's still some great festive spirit there.
- 31:12Speaker 5: It's been great. But as a whole, Victorians are grumpy,
- 31:15Speaker 5: aren't they? Unbelievable.
- 31:19Speaker 2: They have had a gutsful.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:21Speaker 6: And I love it.
- 31:22Speaker 2: So you're currently over there right now, you said?
- 31:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here for the week, for the springtime. Off
- 31:28Speaker 1: to the races today.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Did you head along to the Melbourne Cup?
- 31:31Speaker 3: Yep. Now, they said record crowds, 96,000 were at Flemington.
- 31:35Speaker 3: What was it like for you? And did you enjoy
- 31:37Speaker 3: Robbie Williams? Did you think he was lip-syncing or not?
- 31:39Speaker 2: No, can't stand him. What? Can't stand him, Sean?
- 31:43Speaker 1: No, not an issue.
- 31:45Speaker 8: No.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Shove him.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Shove him? We know that Sean won't be going to
- 31:50Speaker 2: the Adelaide Oval on Saturday. What did you have then, Sean?
- 31:52Speaker 5: That's ridiculous.
- 31:53Speaker 4: Jimmy Barnes.
- 31:54Speaker 5: Oh, I love Barnsley too.
- 31:56Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 31:57Speaker 6: Nah.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Nah, he's a great entertainer and the people. It was funny.
- 32:01Speaker 1: I was at the atrium last night having a bit
- 32:03Speaker 1: of a chit-chat to a few people.
- 32:06Speaker 9: And a couple of girls went and they said, my
- 32:08Speaker 9: 10-year-olds love him.
- 32:09Speaker 1: And my 80-year-old grandma love him. So he is the
- 32:12Speaker 1: person for the people.
- 32:13Speaker 5: Jimmy is a legend.
- 32:14Speaker 4: Yeah, and the coaches will be and Ian Moss and everyone.
- 32:17Speaker 4: They just, just so many great songs. Sean, just before
- 32:20Speaker 4: you go, can I tell you a quick story?
- 32:22Speaker 2: Go for it.
- 32:22Speaker 4: My mother in Victoria couldn't live in a home because
- 32:27Speaker 4: mum's by herself, which is all cool. So mum couldn't
- 32:32Speaker 4: live in a home in her suburb, and it's not
- 32:34Speaker 4: a suburb in some of the low socioeconomic areas of Melbourne.
- 32:38Speaker 5: It's quite a nice suburb.
- 32:40Speaker 4: She wouldn't live in a house with a proper frontage
- 32:42Speaker 4: and door because her car was getting broken into and
- 32:46Speaker 4: so many people on her street were having, you know,
- 32:49Speaker 4: break and enters in the middle of the night. So
- 32:51Speaker 4: now she has to live in an apartment with an
- 32:52Speaker 4: elevator and everything for more safety.
- 32:54Speaker 5: In Victoria, in Australia, Sean.
- 32:57Speaker 11: A couple of guys were chatting about that last night, actually.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Some people are leaving their car unlocked to let people.
- 33:05Speaker 11: Because I said people just.
- 33:07Speaker 1: If it's locked, they'll just break into it any so
- 33:09Speaker 1: they can sleep.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, God.
- 33:11Speaker 11: Actually got talked about that last night at the bar.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 10: So.
- 33:16Speaker 5: It's insane.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Yes.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Thank you, Sean.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Enjoy Victoria. Thank you for listening to us over there.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Even though you get a bit of a sleep in,
- 33:22Speaker 3: what's it over there now? Yeah, he's ten past six
- 33:26Speaker 3: listening to early breakfast. Do we still class him as
- 33:28Speaker 3: a high fiver?
- 33:29Speaker 11: Before I go, are you boys seriously debating whether you're
- 33:33Speaker 11: on next year?
- 33:34Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 33:36Speaker 4: I'm not sure, Sean. We've got to get it ticked off.
- 33:38Speaker 4: I mean, we haven't been told.
- 33:39Speaker 2: That next year's a goer. Put me on the management,
- 33:42Speaker 2: will you? Oh, no.
- 33:44Speaker 4: You are my second favourite, Sean, behind Sean Wren, but
- 33:48Speaker 4: you are nearing that number one spot.
- 33:50Speaker 1: He's number one.
- 33:52Speaker 4: If I'm number two to him, I'm doing all right.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Well done, Sean.
- 33:55Speaker 3: Thank you for the call, mate. 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 34:00Speaker 3: Tommy Wren with some sport coming up next. And as
- 34:02Speaker 3: we go to the break, this is for you, Sean.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Back in a moment.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Live from Highmarsh Square, 5AA Early Breakfast, Ned McHenry and
- 34:33Speaker 3: Sam Datto.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Thanks to Peppers.
- 34:35Speaker 10: SA developed truck strength cleaning products, keeping your logistics fleet clean.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Search Peppers Truck Strength.
- 34:41Speaker 3: 15 to 6 on this Thursday morning, 8223 0000. If
- 34:57Speaker 3: you want to join in on the program, going for
- 34:59Speaker 3: a top of 21 degrees across Adelaide. Currently in the city,
- 35:02Speaker 3: it is 11 degrees. Tommy Wren, he's been stuck behind
- 35:05Speaker 3: a freight train, so he's running a little bit late
- 35:08Speaker 3: this morning.
- 35:08Speaker 5: Can I quickly say hi to Mandy and the Blue Brothers?
- 35:10Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't done it yet. Okay. Hi, Mandy. Feel better?
- 35:18Speaker 3: Dave from Meadows has just sent us a quick text
- 35:20Speaker 3: apologising for his F-bomb, which I find absolutely hilarious.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Don't worry about it, Dave. That's what the dump button's for.
- 35:26Speaker 2: We're all good. That's so good.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Sally in Rosewater, I'm going to Robbie Williams because my
- 35:29Speaker 3: mother-in-law bought me tickets.
- 35:31Speaker 2: I don't like him at all. Let's do a poll.
- 35:34Speaker 2: I want to go. I haven't got tickets.
- 35:36Speaker 5: Can you believe people don't like Robbie Williams?
- 35:38Speaker 2: I didn't think there was anyone who. I'm shocked.
- 35:40Speaker 5: Has Robbie Williams ever done anything controversial?
- 35:43Speaker 2: Is that a joke?
- 35:45Speaker 5: No, I'm serious.
- 35:46Speaker 2: It's Robbie Williams.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Has he been convicted of doing anything proper, no good?
- 35:53Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 35:54Speaker 3: He was just always the bad boy who was always
- 35:56Speaker 3: either high or drunk in his early 2000s.
- 35:58Speaker 2: And he's got his stuff together.
- 35:59Speaker 4: But that's the kind of rock star thing. He's never
- 36:02Speaker 4: done anything violent to anyone or anything like that.
- 36:04Speaker 2: No, not that I'm aware of. I like him. I
- 36:06Speaker 2: like him.
- 36:07Speaker 4: Some of these other rock stars who go and, you know,
- 36:10Speaker 4: make songs about bloody domestic violence and stuff, they can
- 36:12Speaker 4: all go and get absolutely stuffed.
- 36:14Speaker 3: I'd like to know, Robbie Williams, 8223 0000. He's in
- 36:17Speaker 3: Adelaide Saturday night. He'll be at Adelaide Oval, which makes
- 36:21Speaker 3: me think as well, tomorrow we might do, because Robbie
- 36:25Speaker 3: Williams will be there and it's a big event, an
- 36:28Speaker 3: Adelaide Oval concert is a big event, tomorrow let's do
- 36:30Speaker 3: favourite concerts.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Okay. Best concert you've been to. We'll do it tomorrow.
- 36:34Speaker 5: Friday we try and do a fun show.
- 36:35Speaker 2: So we'll do best concerts.
- 36:36Speaker 5: Do you know what Grandma McHenry said to me on
- 36:39Speaker 5: the phone on Monday?
- 36:40Speaker 2: What's that?
- 36:41Speaker 5: She went, Friday was boring.
- 36:42Speaker 2: And I said, well, Grandma, you could have called in
- 36:44Speaker 2: to make it a bit more interesting.
- 36:45Speaker 4: She never calls in. Yeah, it's just frustrating, seriously. She
- 36:49Speaker 4: bypasses the normal lines and texts me and says the
- 36:51Speaker 4: show's boring.
- 36:52Speaker 5: How about get stuffed, Grandma?
- 36:54Speaker 2: Peter, good morning.
- 36:55Speaker 5: Did she send an email?
- 36:55Speaker 6: Morning, boys.
- 36:56Speaker 2: How are we? Good, mate. Sorry, Peter.
- 36:59Speaker 5: Hello, Peter.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Morning.
- 37:01Speaker 11: Morning, morning.
- 37:02Speaker 1: Look, I got to back Robbie in. I took the
- 37:04Speaker 1: wife for a surprise 50th over to Vegas to see him.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Wow.
- 37:08Speaker 5: And, mate, he's an entertainer.
- 37:10Speaker 11: We've seen him a few times.
- 37:12Speaker 2: But she loves him so much, so she's going to
- 37:15Speaker 2: see him in.
- 37:16Speaker 11: The Oval Saturday night.
- 37:17Speaker 12: And I didn't get an invite, so there you go.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Who's she going with? Peter.
- 37:21Speaker 8: Are you kidding?
- 37:21Speaker 2: She's going with her girlfriends.
- 37:24Speaker 12: But you took her.
- 37:25Speaker 5: All the way over there to Vegas?
- 37:26Speaker 4: To Vegas for Robbie, and now she's returning the favour
- 37:30Speaker 4: just locally. Yeah, I must be on some sort of
- 37:33Speaker 4: unknown short list.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Peter, that's rubbish.
- 37:37Speaker 5: But he's an entertainer, boys. Yeah, pretty cool, isn't he?
- 37:42Speaker 5: You don't think he was lip-singing in Melbourne? Did you
- 37:44Speaker 5: see that performance?
- 37:45Speaker 12: No, he's pretty outspoken that way.
- 37:48Speaker 11: He won't do it. There is time delays in those
- 37:51Speaker 11: big outdoor venues like that over crowds, but he won't
- 37:54Speaker 11: do it.
- 37:55Speaker 5: All right, I take it back. Yep, no, I must
- 37:57Speaker 5: have got that wrong. Peter from Modbury, you beautiful man.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Thanks for the call.
- 38:00Speaker 2: Michael and Ross Trevor, good morning.
- 38:03Speaker 4: The old saying is when an agent is too much
- 38:05Speaker 4: in your face trying to sell you something, you.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Just want to walk away. And Robbie Williams is one
- 38:10Speaker 1: of those just too much sales marketing himself. So I'm
- 38:13Speaker 1: out there for those who don't like Robbie Williams.
- 38:16Speaker 10: That's extraordinary.
- 38:17Speaker 5: I cannot believe our listeners aren't Robbie fans, Sammy.
- 38:20Speaker 1: He markets himself too much.
- 38:22Speaker 2: Yeah, too much.
- 38:23Speaker 5: What can they say in his island?
- 38:25Speaker 4: But isn't that the whole, isn't that the performing thing
- 38:28Speaker 4: about him?
- 38:29Speaker 11: Yes, but it is his stick.
- 38:31Speaker 1: And look, to give the guy kudos, he does it
- 38:35Speaker 1: very well. But it's just sometimes just too much in
- 38:38Speaker 1: your face.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Okay. Well, that's fair, Michael.
- 38:40Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 38:41Speaker 2: I can't say I agree.
- 38:42Speaker 4: Does anyone love Robbie Williams? I mean, we just heard
- 38:45Speaker 4: from Peter. He does, and his wife obviously does. Not
- 38:48Speaker 4: enough to bring him along. But Michael and others just
- 38:51Speaker 4: aren't a fan.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Sally's not a fan?
- 38:53Speaker 4: Sally's not a fan.
- 38:54Speaker 8: Are you kidding?
- 38:55Speaker 4: I just want to rock.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Rock. DJ. DJ.
- 38:59Speaker 4: Because you're making me feel so right.
- 39:02Speaker 2: Barney and Kidman Park, good morning.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Good morning.
- 39:05Speaker 12: I love Robbie Williams.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Yes. How good is he?
- 39:09Speaker 3: Um, when he played Albert Hall, the thing when you're
- 39:12Speaker 3: swinging and he did a bit of a Frank Sinatra thing.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Yes.
- 39:15Speaker 13: And at the end when he says, I'm Robbie Wooden
- 39:18Speaker 13: and that's my mum and I love you mum and.
- 39:20Speaker 1: He started crying.
- 39:21Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:22Speaker 1: I just thought, you know, the guy's got.
- 39:23Speaker 12: A heart but he's an entertainer.
- 39:25Speaker 1: And it's all a facade.
- 39:27Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Love the guy. And Ned, when we go fishing, mate.
- 39:33Speaker 4: When I get a day off, I will go fishing, Barney,
- 39:36Speaker 4: and I'll let you know. I've told this story a
- 39:39Speaker 4: million times on air, and I'll just tell it very quickly,
- 39:41Speaker 4: but Barney lived on my street, so that's how.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Yes, Barney.
- 39:44Speaker 5: Barney, thank you for your call.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Well done, Barney. I met Barney.
- 39:46Speaker 4: I was walking past, and he was doing traffic, and
- 39:49Speaker 4: so I said, too hot to be doing that. And
- 39:51Speaker 4: then we had a laugh, and he was asking me
- 39:53Speaker 4: to cry, and then we ended up having a few
- 39:54Speaker 4: beers on his porch and everything. So Barney and I
- 39:56Speaker 4: actually just met each other just through being friendly, as
- 39:59Speaker 4: South Australians do, which is good.
- 40:01Speaker 5: Hello, Ray at Lewiston.
- 40:03Speaker 6: Oh, good morning, boys. I love Robbie, and I was
- 40:07Speaker 6: lucky enough to win some tickets from Stacey and Will,
- 40:11Speaker 6: and I'm so looking forward to it. And Robbie, you know,
- 40:17Speaker 6: if you've got it, flaunt it, and I think he
- 40:20Speaker 6: does a great job. Yeah.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Well, Ray, don't worry about the brekkie show. Monday morning,
- 40:24Speaker 3: give us a call at 5 o'clock. Let us know
- 40:26Speaker 3: what the concert was like, all right?
- 40:27Speaker 1: I will.
- 40:28Speaker 6: Thanks very much and have a great weekend.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Well done, Ray. Thanks so much, Ray. You too. Let's
- 40:32Speaker 2: head out to Marion. Robert, good morning.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Good morning.
- 40:36Speaker 2: How are you guys? Hello, Robert. Quite a few years.
- 40:40Speaker 1: Ago, I saw Robbie Williams when he played at the
- 40:43Speaker 1: Calypso 500.
- 40:44Speaker 11: Yep.
- 40:46Speaker 7: And he came out.
- 40:48Speaker 1: On stage, something I won't forget.
- 40:50Speaker 7: I reckon he was pretty good.
- 40:52Speaker 4: He walks out and he says, I'm Robbie Williams and
- 40:55Speaker 4: here is my.
- 40:57Speaker 5: C-O-C-K, and he had a.
- 40:58Speaker 7: I think he was wearing a kilt.
- 41:00Speaker 11: He had jaunts on underneath, and he just.
- 41:03Speaker 1: He lifted them up, and I.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Just remember being gobsmacked.
- 41:07Speaker 7: Because there was kids in the crowd and everything, and
- 41:09Speaker 7: I was just like, did he just say that?
- 41:12Speaker 1: And I just laughed my head off.
- 41:14Speaker 11: Never forgot it.
- 41:14Speaker 1: But it was hilarious. So, yeah, that was a memory
- 41:18Speaker 1: for you, lad.
- 41:19Speaker 9: So, yeah, I reckon he was pretty good.
- 41:21Speaker 11: First thing he said, straight out on stage.
- 41:23Speaker 7: Oh, Robbie Williams, here is my.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Yep. Thank you, Rob. Once was enough. Jim in Edwardstown
- 41:29Speaker 2: on the text line.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Morning, lads.
- 41:30Speaker 3: Robbie Williams is a great entertainer, but a dead set
- 41:33Speaker 3: flog at the Adelaide 500 the other year he performed.
- 41:36Speaker 3: It was working the crowd. He belittled two people about
- 41:39Speaker 3: their appearance. Broke their heart. Biggest anchor I've seen.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Wanker. Interesting. I was there. I don't recall that. Really?
- 41:47Speaker 5: You don't recall?
- 41:48Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Okay.
- 41:49Speaker 5: You would have remembered if he did something.
- 41:51Speaker 2: I'm not saying Jim's wrong. I'm just saying I don't remember.
- 41:53Speaker 3: But there were people in this building included that have
- 41:56Speaker 3: always been Robbie Williams fans and were not fans of
- 41:59Speaker 3: his performance at the 500.
- 42:01Speaker 5: Because of a musical thing?
- 42:03Speaker 3: Because he wasn't, from memory, they thought he wasn't singing
- 42:06Speaker 3: enough and he was trying to be too much either
- 42:08Speaker 3: a stand-up comic or crowd work and it was just like,
- 42:10Speaker 3: get on with the songs.
- 42:11Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Each to their own. Each to their own. All right,
- 42:14Speaker 2: break time.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Another break. Tommy Wren, he's in the building finally. He's
- 42:18Speaker 3: got past that freight train.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Linda, love Robbie. Kids duet with Kylie Minogue. It's my favourite. 8-6,
- 42:41Speaker 2: Tommy Wren next. 4-6, a real quick sport with Tommy Wren.
- 42:46Speaker 2: The latest in sports with Tom Wren. Tommy, how are
- 42:49Speaker 2: those freight trains going, mate? Yeah, oh, God, held up by.
- 43:06Speaker 13: Damn freight train on Goodwood Road, so I'm sorry I
- 43:08Speaker 13: was a bit late this morning. Yeah, so we've moved
- 43:11Speaker 13: the times around a bit.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Go for it.
- 43:13Speaker 13: Robbie Williams, saw him in 2006 after the Aussies won
- 43:16Speaker 13: the Ashes Test.
- 43:17Speaker 2: He was unreal.
- 43:18Speaker 13: He was on fire that night. It was at Footy
- 43:20Speaker 13: Park and... Um, he had the energy just like heaving.
- 43:25Speaker 13: I'm sure a lot of listeners out there would have
- 43:26Speaker 13: seen him that night, but I also did see him
- 43:28Speaker 13: at the 500 concert and it was a bit underwhelming.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know why. Um, he was solid, but
- 43:35Speaker 2: it was nothing.
- 43:36Speaker 13: Like that performance at footy park where he was just,
- 43:38Speaker 13: that's the best concert I've seen live. Um, songs that
- 43:41Speaker 13: are annoying. I think that everyone loves. I'm not a
- 43:44Speaker 13: big fan of wonderwall.
- 43:45Speaker 2: I just don't get it. Like the ice. I think
- 43:48Speaker 2: it's pretty average. Really?
- 43:49Speaker 1: Yep.
- 43:49Speaker 2: I just don't get it.
- 43:50Speaker 13: And, Look, this is probably very un-South Australian, and they've
- 43:55Speaker 13: done great, and I get the market for them, but
- 43:57Speaker 13: Hilltop Hood songs, to me.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Sound like they're all the same.
- 44:00Speaker 5: They're just talking. Yeah, well, that's a different, that's not
- 44:03Speaker 5: your genre, though.
- 44:04Speaker 2: No.
- 44:04Speaker 13: Other people love that. They love it, and I respect it,
- 44:08Speaker 13: but I just don't like it.
- 44:09Speaker 5: Not for you.
- 44:09Speaker 2: Not for me. Well, that's fine.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Okay, well, can you remove some personal opinion.
- 44:13Speaker 13: Stuff now and go on to sport, please? Well, front
- 44:15Speaker 13: page news today. This is what you're going to be
- 44:17Speaker 13: hearing about all day.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 44:19Speaker 13: If you're Matty Pavlich or you're Dean Cox this morning,
- 44:22Speaker 13: you are just going, what is going on at our
- 44:24Speaker 13: football club, Sydney? So Tom Papley has allegedly, well, he's
- 44:30Speaker 13: driven with a suspended licence for not paying a parking fine.
- 44:33Speaker 13: So the police have then done a subsequent drug test
- 44:37Speaker 13: and he's allegedly failed the first test. And now a
- 44:40Speaker 13: second test is going to take four weeks. I suppose
- 44:41Speaker 13: they have to run it through a whole heap of tests.
- 44:44Speaker 13: But Tom Papley... is very much front and centre in
- 44:48Speaker 13: terms of attention right now. So the off-field culture at Sydney, goodness,
- 44:53Speaker 13: it can take a lifetime to build a reputation, and
- 44:55Speaker 13: then it can take a matter of, what is it, weeks,
- 44:58Speaker 13: months to destroy it. Sydney are in a world of
- 45:03Speaker 13: pain again this morning, unfortunately.
- 45:06Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really, from a brand health perspective, and I
- 45:10Speaker 4: know there's a lot more at play than just brand health,
- 45:12Speaker 4: but I'm just trying to look through the lens of
- 45:13Speaker 4: football and through Sydney, which I think is fair to do,
- 45:16Speaker 4: given we're commentating on sport right now, Rennie.
- 45:18Speaker 5: That is the last thing they needed yesterday.
- 45:21Speaker 13: They just needed a bit of time, didn't they, you know,
- 45:23Speaker 13: for the new season to start and then everyone to
- 45:25Speaker 13: sort of not forget about what happened, you know, with
- 45:28Speaker 13: the Pullman incident at the hotel, but to at least...
- 45:30Speaker 13: give it some clean air, but now this just dredges
- 45:33Speaker 13: it all back up.
- 45:34Speaker 2: And that's right.
- 45:34Speaker 4: And we're not talking about the alleged victims at all.
- 45:37Speaker 4: That's completely separate. That's a criminal matter. We're here to
- 45:39Speaker 4: talk about sport. And the reality is Sydney Swans are
- 45:41Speaker 4: an AFL team that are going to compete next year.
- 45:43Speaker 4: This is probably the last thing they really wanted, needed.
- 45:48Speaker 4: It'll take some time for this group to galvanise again
- 45:51Speaker 4: and kind of get their stuff sorted, Renny.
- 45:53Speaker 13: Yeah, no doubt about that. Now, I know you were
- 45:55Speaker 13: very keen for... It's Oaks Day today. Oh, you've got
- 45:59Speaker 13: your tips. Once Spring Carnival is over, no more.
- 46:02Speaker 5: I mean, you're not going to, you.
- 46:03Speaker 2: Can't do this at Kepler Grange.
- 46:05Speaker 5: In December or something.
- 46:07Speaker 2: The thing is, I don't actually have any tips for
- 46:08Speaker 2: you today at the moment.
- 46:10Speaker 10: Really?
- 46:10Speaker 2: Just name the whole field like you did for the
- 46:11Speaker 2: Melbourne Cup.
- 46:12Speaker 13: Well, all I'm going to say is Dave from Alberton,
- 46:14Speaker 13: who's one of my favourites, he's got a horse, he
- 46:17Speaker 13: part-owns a horse in the race today.
- 46:18Speaker 2: It's called Churchill Rose. Is he going to get on it?
- 46:21Speaker 2: It's 40 to 1, so it's worth $ 2 each one. Oh,
- 46:23Speaker 2: my God. Gamble responsibly. The other one, I don't mind,
- 46:27Speaker 2: is number three, quick finish. I think 10 to 1.
- 46:31Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 46:32Speaker 2: So they're my two tips for today. We'll see. We'll
- 46:34Speaker 2: check back in tomorrow morning and see how that goes. Beautiful.
- 46:36Speaker 2: 5AA Breakfast coming up.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Stacey and Will, Matthew Abraham, David Koch, plenty, plenty more
- 46:40Speaker 3: coming up.
- 46:41Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow morning from 5. Yeah. Tommy, just
- 46:43Speaker 2: for you. Not a fan? Amen.
- 46:51Speaker 5: It sounded like he just rolled out of bed.
- 46:54Speaker 2: You're my Wonderwall. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from Five
- 46:59Speaker 2: High Fivers.
