- 0:02Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Four after five. Good morning and welcome along to Early
- 0:12Speaker 2: Breakfast on this Tuesday morning, the 20th day of October.
- 0:18Speaker 2: In line for a possible storm this morning across Adelaide, however,
- 0:22Speaker 2: the bomb is only predicting 0 to 1 mil of rain,
- 0:24Speaker 2: so not sure how much of a storm is in that. Tomorrow,
- 0:28Speaker 2: cloud clearing 25. Thursday, 31 degrees, partly cloudy. Friday, 29. Saturday, 22.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Currently in the city, it is 16.8, a bit cooler
- 0:41Speaker 2: than it was this time yesterday. No rain recorded in
- 0:46Speaker 2: West Terrace just yet. No rain really recorded around South Australia.
- 0:49Speaker 2: So we'll see how it goes. Neddy, good morning. I
- 0:52Speaker 2: felt like it was quite warm last night going to bed.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Yeah, nice work, Sammy.
- 0:55Speaker 4: Good morning to you. Good morning to all the high-fivers.
- 0:58Speaker 4: I've got to admit, I had the same feeling myself.
- 1:01Speaker 2: I struggled. I could not sleep last night.
- 1:04Speaker 4: Some people won't like this, but I actually had the
- 1:07Speaker 4: air con on last night. Now, talking about power prices,
- 1:11Speaker 4: talking about, you know, emissions, I contributed to both. I
- 1:16Speaker 4: had the air con blasted because I just, I can't
- 1:18Speaker 4: sleep in the warm, Sammy.
- 1:21Speaker 2: It crossed my mind to chuck it on for a
- 1:23Speaker 2: bit of a, Quick spurt.
- 1:24Speaker 3: A little blast.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Just to cool down the premises. Didn't go through. Had
- 1:28Speaker 2: the fan going pretty quickly. But it was just... I
- 1:31Speaker 2: went to bed at 8.40.
- 1:32Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:33Speaker 2: I was laying there for about two hours before I
- 1:35Speaker 2: could sleep.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Was nice and toasty. Are we going to have much
- 1:38Speaker 3: rain today? What do you think? The forecast.
- 1:40Speaker 4: But where I'm looking is just coming back and back
- 1:43Speaker 4: and back in terms of predicted millimetres. So it'll be
- 1:46Speaker 4: interesting to see how much rain we get today.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Looking out over Hindmarsh Square with the camera on the
- 1:52Speaker 2: roof here at 5AA, there is a lot of low
- 1:54Speaker 2: cloud about. So in the hills, Michael and Ross Trevor,
- 1:58Speaker 2: it's probably a bit foggy up there for him.
- 2:00Speaker 5: But.
- 2:01Speaker 2: There's a little few sprinkles on the way in, but
- 2:03Speaker 2: I don't think there's too much in it.
- 2:05Speaker 3: No, there's not much on the radar just yet, team.
- 2:07Speaker 4: So if you do get any rain where you are,
- 2:10Speaker 4: if you're out and about walking the pups or... Getting
- 2:13Speaker 4: yourself ready for work. We'd love to hear from you
- 2:15Speaker 4: this morning.
- 2:15Speaker 1: 8223 0000.
- 2:15Speaker 3: A couple of good.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Texts already on the text line. Mandy and the Blue Brothers.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Good morning, Ned and Sam. I hope you and all
- 2:25Speaker 2: the High Fivers are well. How is your Kelpie going, Ned?
- 2:28Speaker 2: Do you own any animals, Sam? They are the best.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Your ghost subject yesterday. Too many weird things have happened
- 2:34Speaker 2: to not think there is something other than us on
- 2:37Speaker 2: this earth. Have a great show, Mandy and the Blue Brothers.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Spooky, spooky, Mandy, Mandy. Morning to you, legend. We love you,
- 2:44Speaker 4: Mandy and those Blue Brothers. Good morning to both of you.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Mark in Parahills as well. Morning high-fivers, crap night's sleep,
- 2:51Speaker 2: no rain in North Terrace because South Africa has it all.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Mark from Parahills. Thank you, Mark.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Cricket-loving man, Mark is. Can I just review Mandy's text
- 3:00Speaker 4: just very quickly?
- 3:01Speaker 2: Go for it.
- 3:01Speaker 4: The Kelpies, because there's a bit of news on this front,
- 3:04Speaker 4: if you don't mind me sharing.
- 3:06Speaker 6: Oh.
- 3:06Speaker 4: So at the farm, we've got Stack, we've got Reg,
- 3:11Speaker 4: we've got.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Pongo as working Kelpies.
- 3:14Speaker 7: Right.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Now, Reg is getting a little older, so we're now
- 3:17Speaker 4: in the market for some new talent. Pongo and Stack
- 3:21Speaker 4: are the ones that I consistently yell at, but they
- 3:23Speaker 4: are good dogs.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Stack was, you know, $ 10, 000 at auction. Pongo would be
- 3:28Speaker 3: a $ 10, 000 or $ 15, 000 dog, no question, right? I've just
- 3:32Speaker 3: got a pup, eight-weeker, coming shortly, next couple of weeks.
- 3:36Speaker 4: That'll be a bit of a project, a bit of
- 3:41Speaker 4: a rookie.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Does that have the same sort of... I mean, you
- 3:43Speaker 2: probably wouldn't know from first-hand experience, but would that bring
- 3:47Speaker 2: the same sort of level of excitement as chaos, as
- 3:50Speaker 2: having a newborn baby in the house, having an eight-week-old
- 3:52Speaker 2: pup you're trying to train?
- 3:53Speaker 3: Mate, a newborn baby would be easy. All they do
- 3:58Speaker 3: is eat and poo.
- 3:59Speaker 4: LAUGHTER A Kelpie runs around the yards like a lunatic.
- 4:02Speaker 4: I mean, what age does a human walk?
- 4:06Speaker 2: About a year, isn't it? Is it about a year? Roughly.
- 4:08Speaker 7: Okay.
- 4:09Speaker 4: Well, Kelpies walk from the first week, mate, and then
- 4:11Speaker 4: they start sprinting. So Roxy's coming. That's Roxy, Mandy. Is
- 4:17Speaker 4: this entertaining or not really?
- 4:18Speaker 2: Here you go.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Okay.
- 4:19Speaker 2: People love your dog chat.
- 4:20Speaker 6: Okay.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Eight weeks, Roxy, but here's the thing.
- 4:24Speaker 4: I'm in this contingency at the moment as a farmer thinking, well,
- 4:28Speaker 4: if one of the other ones dies, we're down to one.
- 4:31Speaker 7: Oh, no.
- 4:31Speaker 3: So I need another. So I'm on the hunt.
- 4:33Speaker 4: I've had a bit of a look out there at
- 4:35Speaker 4: Mort Lake, Victoria. There's one up at Toowoomba. Libby has
- 4:38Speaker 4: been working black cattle. She might be better suited to sheep,
- 4:41Speaker 4: so she might come down. Anyhoo, what I'm saying, Mandy,
- 4:45Speaker 4: at the moment is we have three wonderful kelpies that
- 4:48Speaker 4: are well looked after.
- 4:49Speaker 3: That absolutely love their life you should see.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Them on the back of the ute when they're um
- 4:54Speaker 4: going through the paddock oh they just smile you look
- 4:57Speaker 4: in your rear vision mirror mandy and they just smile
- 4:59Speaker 4: with this big grin saying thank you dad we have
- 5:02Speaker 4: the best life in the world and i say well
- 5:04Speaker 4: you help me you save me time and it's a
- 5:06Speaker 4: good equitable relationship like a flower a bee and the nectar.
- 5:11Speaker 2: So long story short you got three dogs Yeah, three.
- 5:14Speaker 7: At the moment.
- 5:14Speaker 4: But soon to be five. Soon to be five. That
- 5:17Speaker 4: was BSA territories, actually. That was BSA territories.
- 5:21Speaker 3: She asked you if you had.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Any animals yourself, Sammy. Don't have any. Haven't had any
- 5:26Speaker 2: dogs growing up either. Dogs were always at my grandparents.
- 5:30Speaker 2: So that was always... You got your fix. Ben and Axel.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Two staffies were at Nana and Papa's.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Ben and Axel.
- 5:36Speaker 2: We grew up with.
- 5:38Speaker 7: Ben and Axel.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Oh, boy. But none at my place. None at my place.
- 5:41Speaker 2: 8223 0000 044808 1395. I can't remember how we got
- 5:47Speaker 2: onto the subject yesterday, but first cars, Ned. What was
- 5:49Speaker 2: your first car? We want to hear from you. We
- 5:51Speaker 2: got a $ 50 Colac voucher to the Colac at Port
- 5:54Speaker 2: Adelaide if you want to jump in this morning before
- 5:56Speaker 2: 6 o'clock. Great place, Colac Port Adelaide. From the relaxed
- 6:00Speaker 2: buzz of bootleg social and share plates and wood-fired pizzas
- 6:04Speaker 2: to premium dining at Eloyts or cocktails and waterfront views upstairs,
- 6:08Speaker 2: Colac has something for everyone. So that $ 50 voucher could
- 6:10Speaker 2: be yours before 6 o'clock. First cars, what do you have?
- 6:13Speaker 7: Go.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I can't say it. What do you mean?
- 6:17Speaker 2: No, I can't.
- 6:18Speaker 6: What?
- 6:18Speaker 2: It wasn't a Toyota?
- 6:20Speaker 3: It was a Ford Ranger.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Ugh.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Awful, awful car.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Why can't you say that? You just did.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 6:26Speaker 4: It was an ordinary car, and that's when I got
- 6:27Speaker 4: into Toyota. I've had a Toyota ever since because the
- 6:29Speaker 4: thing used to break down 24-7.
- 6:31Speaker 3: What was your first car?
- 6:33Speaker 2: I had a 1997 Magna Wagon in white. It was Nana's.
- 6:38Speaker 2: She passed, left it to me.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Oh, that's nice.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. So that was my first car. I
- 6:42Speaker 2: drove it.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but where is it now?
- 6:44Speaker 2: I don't have it now.
- 6:45Speaker 7: Where is it?
- 6:46Speaker 2: I sold it.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Oh, so you profited off your decision.
- 6:49Speaker 2: I kept it for a respectable amount of time. A
- 6:52Speaker 2: couple of years. But then I outgrew it, and I thought,
- 6:56Speaker 2: time for something different.
- 6:57Speaker 7: Extraordinary.
- 6:58Speaker 3: I thought you might have kept it as more of
- 6:59Speaker 3: a sentimental piece.
- 7:00Speaker 2: In this economy?
- 7:02Speaker 3: No, we are in a desperate economy. I'm sure she
- 7:04Speaker 3: would understand.
- 7:05Speaker 6: Yes.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Wonderful woman, Nana Dado.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Nana Kewa. It was mum's side.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Oh, beg your pardon.
- 7:10Speaker 2: There you go.
- 7:11Speaker 3: First cast, this is off the back of... Beta Birdwood,
- 7:14Speaker 3: isn't it?
- 7:14Speaker 2: That's right. We got there eventually, yes. So we want
- 7:17Speaker 2: to know what your first cars were, 8223 0000, or
- 7:20Speaker 2: off the back of Beta Birdwood yesterday, Ned was asking
- 7:23Speaker 2: the question, did you have a car back in the
- 7:25Speaker 2: day and you shouldn't have sold it because it could
- 7:28Speaker 2: be quite the sum of money?
- 7:29Speaker 4: BELL RINGS To Ching, yeah, we'd have listeners, Sammy, that
- 7:33Speaker 4: would have these Monaros or whatever it is, Holden HQs
- 7:35Speaker 4: that are pristine. They sold them for a couple of grand,
- 7:39Speaker 4: I'm sure, at some stage. Now, they'd be worth 10
- 7:42Speaker 4: times that.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Mark, first car was a Holden HQ. Took me everywhere, surfing, fishing,
- 7:47Speaker 2: and camping. Now, that's a utilitarian vehicle. You don't need
- 7:51Speaker 2: one of these SUVs. Just take a HQ Holden out there.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I think you know I'm Toyota through and through.
- 7:56Speaker 4: I'll never own a car that's not Toyota for the
- 7:58Speaker 4: rest of my life. but I do look very fondly
- 8:01Speaker 4: at the Holden HQs. They're a piece of Australian history.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Morning, Chris and Sire Downs.
- 8:06Speaker 8: Good morning.
- 8:07Speaker 9: I had a Mini 850.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Oh, did you?
- 8:11Speaker 9: It's my first car, and it lasted me for, I reckon,
- 8:16Speaker 9: about a year, and I got rid of it because
- 8:20Speaker 9: I took it down for service, and I put the
- 8:22Speaker 9: jack underneath the engine, and the engine popped up out
- 8:24Speaker 9: of the body.
- 8:25Speaker 10: Oh, no.
- 8:27Speaker 9: And we rectified a few situations on it. And like
- 8:31Speaker 9: I said, I kept it for a little while because
- 8:32Speaker 9: it was the first one. And the mechanic said, you're
- 8:36Speaker 9: going to keep this or are you going to get
- 8:37Speaker 9: rid of it? I said, oh, he said, I think
- 8:40Speaker 9: I'd get rid of it. So I got rid of
- 8:41Speaker 9: it and went on from there.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Why did you go for the Mini?
- 8:46Speaker 4: It was cheap.
- 8:47Speaker 9: It was my first car. I was, like I suppose
- 8:50Speaker 9: everybody in one way, young, anxious to have a car.
- 8:56Speaker 9: Got it. And that was it, you know, but it
- 9:00Speaker 9: did the purpose. I've moved on now. I've got a
- 9:03Speaker 9: Mazda 3, lowered mags, exhaust, goes well. Quite happy with it.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Well done, Chris.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Very well done, Chris. That was a great call.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Do you remember where your first drive was without a supervisor,
- 9:16Speaker 2: a parent or someone who was sitting next to you? Oh, maybe.
- 9:21Speaker 5: I can't.
- 9:21Speaker 3: No, I don't think I can, Sammy.
- 9:22Speaker 6: Can you?
- 9:23Speaker 2: I remember it was to my Nana's place. It was
- 9:25Speaker 2: at Westlake. It was a quick trip, and Mum was like, well,
- 9:27Speaker 2: we've got these plates to take back. You now have
- 9:28Speaker 2: your peas. Take them to Nana. And I was shaken.
- 9:31Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Got there and back okay, but whoa.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Great feeling of independence, isn't it?
- 9:36Speaker 7: Oh, oh.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Just, oh. Yes, as a car guy, yes. Diane Anglevale,
- 9:41Speaker 2: good morning.
- 9:42Speaker 6: Good morning, gentlemen.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Hello, Di.
- 9:46Speaker 6: My first car.
- 9:49Speaker 6: This is back in the UK because, as you can tell,
- 9:51Speaker 6: I'm Tom, was a Ford Escort.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Nice.
- 9:59Speaker 3: That my brother.
- 10:00Speaker 6: was a car yard shark. And he got me the car,
- 10:04Speaker 6: you know, I'm his little sister and blah, blah, blah. Anyway,
- 10:08Speaker 6: I had it exactly one week and I was driving
- 10:15Speaker 6: with a a driver next to me who was qualified,
- 10:22Speaker 6: you know, and we got caught on black ice.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Oh.
- 10:32Speaker 6: I don't know if you've ever been caught.
- 10:34Speaker 3: On black ice.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Not in South Australia or Adelaide, I haven't been, but
- 10:38Speaker 2: I've heard a lot about black ice. What happened, Di?
- 10:41Speaker 6: Well, it spun around several times in the road and
- 10:46Speaker 6: then it hit the kerb and tossed over and ended
- 10:52Speaker 6: up in a paddock.
- 10:53Speaker 9: On its roof.
- 10:55Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Di, were you okay?
- 10:57Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 10:58Speaker 6: Funnily enough, we both got out without a scratch.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Goodness me, that was lucky. The car probably not so lucky, Di.
- 11:05Speaker 2: So then you had your Ford Escort for about a week.
- 11:08Speaker 2: You rolled it. You trashed it. What was the next
- 11:10Speaker 2: car then? And how long did that one last?
- 11:13Speaker 6: It was a Mini.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Oh, another Mini. We're getting a bit of a theme here.
- 11:17Speaker 6: A Mini Cooper S.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Nice.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Good on you, Di. Well done, Di. Great reflections. I
- 11:22Speaker 2: hope you've calmed down on that driving. At least there's
- 11:25Speaker 2: no black ice here in Adelaide.
- 11:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 11:27Speaker 2: You'll be safe here.
- 11:29Speaker 4: 8223 0000 off the back of Bay to Birdwood. What
- 11:32Speaker 4: was your first car or did you pass on a car.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Or sell it?
- 11:35Speaker 4: Which would be of great value now.
- 11:38Speaker 3: We're loving these stories.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Plenty of text messages. Colin, my first car was a
- 11:41Speaker 2: UC Tarana. Rob from Clearview, my first car was a
- 11:45Speaker 2: 1976 Kingswood.
- 11:46Speaker 9: Nice.
- 11:47Speaker 2: You can't borrow it. I just polished the dipstick. Not
- 11:50Speaker 2: to Kingswood country. Thank you. John, morning, fellas. My first
- 11:53Speaker 2: car was a 1986 Kingswood. It was in 1986, a
- 11:56Speaker 2: Holden HZ Kingswood 253 V8, one of many Holdens I've had,
- 12:01Speaker 2: now have an HQ Monaro, all original condition. John, when
- 12:06Speaker 2: did you buy the HQ Monaro? Have you had it
- 12:08Speaker 2: for a while and didn't sell it, or have you
- 12:10Speaker 2: bought it now and it's gone up in value? Let
- 12:11Speaker 2: us know. 8223 0000.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Yeah, crikey, John, that's a good buy there, mate. I
- 12:16Speaker 4: reckon that'd be worth a bit of dough, wouldn't it, Sammy?
- 12:18Speaker 3: A few clams? Yeah, well done.
- 12:20Speaker 2: 16 after five, jump on the phones, keep the Coles
- 12:22Speaker 2: coming in. We'll take a quick break. Time for you
- 12:24Speaker 2: to line up some Coles. Remember that $ 50 Colac voucher
- 12:27Speaker 2: to give away before six o'clock. Jump to it.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 12:34Speaker 2: 19 after 5, John replied about his HQ Monaro. I've
- 12:43Speaker 2: had it since 2016. Bought it from the first owner.
- 12:46Speaker 2: It's only done 80,000 kilometres. Still own it. Don't intend
- 12:49Speaker 2: on selling it any time soon. First cars, 8223 0000
- 12:52Speaker 2: for the back of the bay to Birdwood on the weekend. Craig,
- 12:57Speaker 2: Ingle Farm, good morning.
- 12:58Speaker 7: Good morning, boys. How are we for a Tuesday? Good, Craig. Yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 7: so first car, I had an LC.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Tirana, so that's as a young lad. But my second
- 13:09Speaker 5: one was a Ripper.
- 13:11Speaker 7: It's a very long story.
- 13:12Speaker 11: I won't go into it now.
- 13:12Speaker 7: I'm boring everyone. But at the age of.
- 13:14Speaker 5: 17, I ended up getting a Ford Cobra number 100,
- 13:18Speaker 5: the old Bathurst beast. There was only 400 of them,
- 13:22Speaker 5: and I had number 100, and she was a beast. Regrettably,
- 13:26Speaker 5: I had to sell it three years ago and that
- 13:29Speaker 5: devastated me, but it is what it is. I had
- 13:32Speaker 5: it for 30 years and I picked that up back
- 13:38Speaker 5: in 1988 for $ 12, 500 and sold it a few years
- 13:43Speaker 5: ago for about $ 125, 000. The guy went and spent $ 70, 000
- 13:47Speaker 5: on it, just splayed out, restored it, and he lost
- 13:51Speaker 5: it through divorce a year later and sold it for $ 350, 000. So,
- 13:56Speaker 5: and I think, you know, within a few years, I'll
- 13:57Speaker 5: be worth half a mil or so. So she was.
- 13:59Speaker 7: A, it was a nice car.
- 14:01Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, boys.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Where'd the love of the Tirranna come from? Did you
- 14:05Speaker 2: wake up on a Sunday morning watching Brocky tear him
- 14:08Speaker 2: around Bathurst or just somewhere else?
- 14:11Speaker 5: Oh, no, the Toronto was convenient. The Cobra was my
- 14:15Speaker 5: love of my life because just very quickly, I used
- 14:18Speaker 5: to work in my old man's video shop. At the
- 14:20Speaker 5: age of 13, one night, I heard this rumble in
- 14:22Speaker 5: the video shop.
- 14:23Speaker 11: I thought, what the hell is that?
- 14:24Speaker 5: I looked out the front, and a Ford Cobra pulls up,
- 14:27Speaker 5: and the customer I knew where he goes, oh, you want.
- 14:28Speaker 3: To go for a ride, mate?
- 14:30Speaker 5: Oh, my God, Sam, I come back a different person.
- 14:32Speaker 5: I was only 13. I run around the block from
- 14:36Speaker 5: the Cobra and I come in, I said to Dad,
- 14:38Speaker 5: I said, I'm going to get one of them one day, Dad.
- 14:40Speaker 5: And he just laughed and said, yeah, yeah, whatever.
- 14:42Speaker 7: Yeah, mate, I just love the Ford Cobras, yeah.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Well done, Craig. Thank you for that. You're in the
- 14:48Speaker 2: running for that Colac voucher. Vicky from West Croydon. Morning, guys.
- 14:53Speaker 2: My first car at 17 was a green Austin A40
- 14:56Speaker 2: with a Somerset engine. It cost me $ 40. I was
- 14:59Speaker 2: in my fifth year at high school, hated the non-synchronous gears.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Then I moved on to a light blue Austin Lancer
- 15:05Speaker 2: for $ 100, which I sold my piano to get. I
- 15:09Speaker 2: am now 71 with no car and no licence any longer. Vicky, well,
- 15:13Speaker 2: no car and no licence now, but you've had an
- 15:14Speaker 2: interesting car history, Vicky. No doubt.
- 15:17Speaker 3: Some great memories, Vicky.
- 15:19Speaker 4: That's for sure. Thanks so much for your text. We
- 15:21Speaker 4: really appreciate that. People can keep those coming through, can't they?
- 15:24Speaker 4: Texts and calls.
- 15:24Speaker 2: 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 15:28Speaker 4: We'll keep the car chat going through till six o'clock.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Your first cars, I love hearing about that. Some great memories,
- 15:34Speaker 3: no doubt. Now, Sammy, we also touched on this yesterday.
- 15:38Speaker 4: We'll go through it in a little bit more detail today.
- 15:40Speaker 4: A group of people lined up, Sammy. So billionaire Adrian Portelli,
- 15:46Speaker 4: he did 99 cent petrol at Edwardstown. It attracted enormous
- 15:50Speaker 4: queues along Dawes Road, disrupting traffic and frustrating other businesses nearby.
- 15:55Speaker 4: The promotional price was on Saturday. We're talking about.
- 15:58Speaker 3: It now on Tuesday.
- 16:00Speaker 4: It's an interesting debate, isn't it? I mean, people were
- 16:03Speaker 4: queuing for two hours. No doubt there's some money to
- 16:06Speaker 4: be saved on a tank of fuel, but where do
- 16:09Speaker 4: you draw the line? I wonder what the craziest thing
- 16:12Speaker 4: some of our listeners have done to snag a bargain.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Did any one of our high-fivers line up for Krispy
- 16:18Speaker 2: Kreme when they opened? I remember when that was getting
- 16:21Speaker 2: built on Port Road, people were camping in the drive-thru.
- 16:24Speaker 7: Really?
- 16:24Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure the first person through the door
- 16:27Speaker 2: either got a year's supply of Krispy Kreme or lifetime
- 16:30Speaker 2: supply of Krispy Kreme. I'm not too sure, but that's
- 16:33Speaker 2: the biggest one I can remember lately. We always hear
- 16:36Speaker 2: about People lining up for the footy tickets in final series.
- 16:40Speaker 2: That's a classic.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Concert tickets?
- 16:41Speaker 2: Concert tickets. When Big Axe decide to come to Adelaide,
- 16:45Speaker 2: we'll get concert tickets. But the art of lining up
- 16:48Speaker 2: for tickets, I feel, is a dying breed because you
- 16:50Speaker 2: can obviously go online. But what is something that you've
- 16:53Speaker 2: actually lined up for in person? How long have you queued?
- 16:57Speaker 2: I mean, you could probably, last time I went to
- 16:58Speaker 2: Service SA to do something with my car at Motor Reg,
- 17:01Speaker 2: I was there for a while.
- 17:02Speaker 4: Sam, don't get me started on that. That is the
- 17:05Speaker 4: most frustrating process.
- 17:06Speaker 2: This is the perfect forum to get started on it, Ned.
- 17:09Speaker 4: The administration required just to operate in a day-to-day sense
- 17:15Speaker 4: in 2026 is extraordinary. We need to just strip all
- 17:18Speaker 4: of it right back and just simplify life. Do you
- 17:20Speaker 4: know how many apps and codes and verification and identity processes?
- 17:25Speaker 4: I mean, sometimes I feel like I don't even know myself.
- 17:28Speaker 4: I have to verify myself.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Would you rather that or your identity's stolen?
- 17:31Speaker 3: Oh, mate, what are they going to steal?
- 17:33Speaker 2: Seriously?
- 17:33Speaker 4: Are they going to come on 5AA early breakfast and
- 17:35Speaker 4: get sacked?
- 17:36Speaker 3: I'm going to do that anyway. So good on them.
- 17:39Speaker 3: Half their luck. They're just going to fast track it.
- 17:41Speaker 3: But it's just constant.
- 17:44Speaker 7: It's just.
- 17:45Speaker 3: I'm sorry, team. I'm carrying on a little bit. But
- 17:48Speaker 3: isn't it? I mean, there can't be one person on
- 17:50Speaker 3: the text.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Line who goes they just love verifying their identity and
- 17:55Speaker 4: going on an app for every single thing in 2026.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Well, 395 just texted, I refuse to line up for anything. Anything.
- 18:03Speaker 3: I would love to hear line-up stories. I would love
- 18:07Speaker 3: to hear them. Who lined up for a long time
- 18:09Speaker 3: and what did you line up for?
- 18:11Speaker 2: Or even waiting around stories. I mean, how early are
- 18:14Speaker 2: people getting to the airport these days for a domestic flight?
- 18:16Speaker 2: Surely these days we're well-trained enough to just jump into
- 18:20Speaker 2: the cab, get to the airport 20, 30 minutes before boarding.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Because you can check in from home. You have it
- 18:26Speaker 2: all on an app, Ned. But queue stories lining up,
- 18:30Speaker 2: 8223 0000. Sally in Rosewater, I lined up for three
- 18:35Speaker 2: hours to get my kid's dance teacher an original Barbie
- 18:39Speaker 2: for $ 3 at Myers in town 12 years ago.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Sal, that's a good effort, three hours.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Sal, why are you lining up for the kid's dance teacher, though?
- 18:47Speaker 3: She must have had an impact on her child's life.
- 18:49Speaker 7: Fair enough.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Isn't it amazing the impact teachers or dance teachers, good
- 18:53Speaker 4: people involved in your children's life, I'd imagine, would be
- 18:55Speaker 4: very special.
- 18:57Speaker 2: I still remember my year four or five teacher, Mr.
- 18:59Speaker 6: Rawley.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Mr.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Rawley?
- 19:00Speaker 3: He was a good fellow, was he?
- 19:01Speaker 2: He told me I had to sit at the front
- 19:02Speaker 2: of the class because I was too much of a nuisance.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I can imagine. I don't blame him. Good call. Yeah,
- 19:07Speaker 3: that's interesting.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Some other good texts here, Sammy. Would you line up
- 19:10Speaker 4: for two hours to save $ 40 on a tank of fuel?
- 19:13Speaker 7: No.
- 19:13Speaker 6: No.
- 19:14Speaker 3: It's a hard one, isn't it?
- 19:16Speaker 2: I'd love to know what the cost analysis on that
- 19:18Speaker 2: is in lining up for two hours. How much fuel
- 19:21Speaker 2: are you burning in the line?
- 19:22Speaker 3: In idle, yeah.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 19:24Speaker 4: I suppose if you don't have any commitments on that day,
- 19:26Speaker 4: and it's not as if there's some cost of opportunity,
- 19:29Speaker 4: like it's not like you're not working because you're lining up, perhaps-
- 19:32Speaker 4: It's still net positive.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Rob said, Morning, fellas.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Notorious black-eyed spot in Adelaide is the Southeastern Freeway.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Near the Stirling exit.
- 19:40Speaker 7: Cheers, Rob.
- 19:41Speaker 2: Wasn't aware of that.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Might be a little spot there, Rob. Yeah, some good text.
- 19:46Speaker 7: Meg!
- 19:46Speaker 3: Hello, Meg, on the text line.
- 19:49Speaker 5: Um.
- 19:50Speaker 3: She says, Ned, you dog whisperer.
- 19:51Speaker 4: I have a cheeky little labradoodle who is, how do
- 19:54Speaker 4: you pronounce that?
- 19:55Speaker 2: Kleptomaniac.
- 19:56Speaker 3: What does that mean?
- 19:57Speaker 2: Crazy.
- 19:58Speaker 8: Does it?
- 19:59Speaker 2: Can you Google that? I'll give the correct.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Meg, nicer word there. You're like a walking thesaurus, Meg.
- 20:07Speaker 4: He steals everything and then hides under the bed. Croc, pens,
- 20:11Speaker 4: your glasses, Ugg boots, whatever isn't tied down, help.
- 20:14Speaker 3: Thanks, Meg. Oh, crikey, Meg. I'm not Dr. Chris Brown.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Perhaps we could get him out to the farm and
- 20:20Speaker 4: see if he could round up some sheep and spend
- 20:22Speaker 4: some energy doing on that. No doubt you'd walk him
- 20:25Speaker 4: a lot, Meg, wouldn't you? Is he stimulated? He sounds
- 20:29Speaker 4: like he needs more stimulation.
- 20:30Speaker 2: A rare psychiatric impulse control disorder defined by irresistible recurrent
- 20:35Speaker 2: urge to steal items that have little to no personal
- 20:38Speaker 2: or monetary value.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Meg, Meg, Meg, that is an amazing word. Did you
- 20:42Speaker 4: have that word ready to go? Do you use words
- 20:45Speaker 4: like that every day?
- 20:46Speaker 2: Have you never heard that before?
- 20:47Speaker 3: I've never heard that word. Well, some people are smart.
- 20:50Speaker 3: I'm not smart. That's amazing.
- 20:52Speaker 4: That's a great word. I'm going to write that one down, Meg.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Good luck with your labradoodle-do. I don't know how to
- 20:57Speaker 4: help with that, unfortunately. I'm more of a kelpy man
- 21:01Speaker 4: with the sheet work.
- 21:02Speaker 2: So, first cars, what have you lined up for?
- 21:04Speaker 9: 822-300-00.
- 21:04Speaker 2: I want to trash talk, Ned.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Actually, Meg, what you can do is hold their face
- 21:10Speaker 4: and see if he makes eye contact with you. So
- 21:12Speaker 4: look into his eyes. If they don't make eye contact
- 21:14Speaker 4: with you, they don't respect you.
- 21:16Speaker 3: So there's a few things you can do.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Well, how do you get a dog's respect?
- 21:18Speaker 3: Well, you need to... The dog... Some people might disagree
- 21:22Speaker 3: with this.
- 21:22Speaker 4: You need to spend a huge amount of time with
- 21:24Speaker 4: the dog so there's a level of companionship. And you
- 21:27Speaker 4: also need to make sure that there's like a power
- 21:31Speaker 4: balance here. Yeah, you need to be... the dominant in
- 21:34Speaker 4: the relationship, the master. That's the way I view it,
- 21:36Speaker 4: and that's what works for us. Other people might disagree.
- 21:38Speaker 4: I don't know, but that's what I think.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Trash talk.
- 21:42Speaker 3: Trash talk, trash talk.
- 21:43Speaker 2: This is a topic that normally invites a lot of
- 21:47Speaker 2: debate and discussion.
- 21:48Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 21:49Speaker 2: Norwood Council, this is in the advertiser this morning, a
- 21:51Speaker 2: Norwood councillor is suggesting that weekly red bin pickups, so
- 21:57Speaker 2: your general waste, should move to fortnightly.
- 22:01Speaker 7: Oh, crikey.
- 22:01Speaker 2: And your green waste, where you put obviously your lawn
- 22:04Speaker 2: clippings and your food waste and your organic material, goes
- 22:08Speaker 2: to weekly. This is, I feel like this story comes
- 22:12Speaker 2: up every six months and it just is a, no
- 22:16Speaker 2: one ever agrees that bin collection and bin pickup should change.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Would you be happy with your general waste, the one
- 22:22Speaker 2: that normally smells the worst, to be picked up fortnightly?
- 22:26Speaker 6: Why?
- 22:27Speaker 2: I think it's a push to make people to recycle
- 22:30Speaker 2: and use the green bin a bit more.
- 22:32Speaker 3: All right.
- 22:33Speaker 2: But the red bin obviously is the one that's normally
- 22:35Speaker 2: the smaller one too. It's the one that you're probably
- 22:38Speaker 2: chucking all your empty nappies in or all the real
- 22:41Speaker 2: smelly stuff.
- 22:42Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I don't want to create any more cost of doing
- 22:46Speaker 4: business pressures for small business or medium business in Australia because.
- 22:50Speaker 3: It's already so difficult to do so.
- 22:52Speaker 4: But why don't you go more high level and create
- 22:55Speaker 4: some stricter parameters around what packaging needs to look like? Yes,
- 23:02Speaker 4: you can make households make better decisions when it comes
- 23:04Speaker 4: to landfill and recycling, but The amount of plastic that's
- 23:07Speaker 4: used in certain products.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I mean, get rid of the plastic as a starting point.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Then people don't have to make the decision. Take the
- 23:12Speaker 3: discretion out of the decision-making.
- 23:14Speaker 2: You walk through the fruit and veg aisle and how
- 23:15Speaker 2: much plastic and paper. It does my head in sometimes
- 23:18Speaker 2: how much plastic there is.
- 23:19Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, though? That could be done
- 23:21Speaker 3: at that level.
- 23:22Speaker 2: And the advertisers also spoke to a St. Morris resident,
- 23:25Speaker 2: mother of two, Jess. Our general waste bin is always
- 23:28Speaker 2: full by the time a weekly pickup comes around. So
- 23:30Speaker 2: swapping the green and the red bin cycle would not
- 23:33Speaker 2: be a good move. If we were to lose weekly
- 23:35Speaker 2: red bin pickups, we would be at a huge loss.
- 23:37Speaker 2: We already tried to use our neighbor's waste bin by
- 23:40Speaker 2: the end of the week. because ours has no space.
- 23:43Speaker 2: That also leads me to, do you have to ask
- 23:45Speaker 2: your neighbour's permission to use their rubbish bin or can
- 23:48Speaker 2: you run out there when the truck's coming?
- 23:50Speaker 3: We've done bin etiquette, haven't we?
- 23:52Speaker 2: Well, we're doing it again.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Can you use your neighbour's bin without asking them?
- 23:57Speaker 4: There's a lot in this. I'm happy to unpack it.
- 24:00Speaker 4: What's the relationship with the neighbour like? Are you friendly
- 24:04Speaker 4: or do you not speak over the fence?
- 24:05Speaker 2: Does it matter?
- 24:06Speaker 3: Massively. Huge difference.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Now, if you pop over for a quiet frothy or
- 24:13Speaker 4: a cup of English breakfast with your neighbour monthly every
- 24:16Speaker 4: three weeks, something like that, I don't think you need
- 24:18Speaker 4: to ask.
- 24:19Speaker 3: I think there's just a bit of goodwill there.
- 24:21Speaker 4: And you need to make sure that your bag isn't
- 24:24Speaker 4: smelly or gross.
- 24:26Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 24:27Speaker 3: That's play on.
- 24:28Speaker 4: Now, if you don't know your neighbour and you're either
- 24:31Speaker 4: putting the bag in there without saying or it's a
- 24:33Speaker 4: little stinky, you're doing the wrong thing.
- 24:35Speaker 2: I remember dad used to have this little ploy sometimes
- 24:38Speaker 2: if the blue bin, red bin was too full, the
- 24:41Speaker 2: truck would come past, bin would be full. Dad runs out,
- 24:46Speaker 2: fills up the bin again, puts it on the other
- 24:48Speaker 2: side of the road. The truck comes back again. Picks
- 24:50Speaker 2: it up.
- 24:50Speaker 3: That's cheeky. That's smart, though.
- 24:53Speaker 2: That's smart.
- 24:53Speaker 3: That's entrepreneurial.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:55Speaker 3: That's smart.
- 24:55Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 24:56Speaker 3: I do respect that.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Jeff on the text line, keep rubbish as is. Bad
- 24:59Speaker 2: enough some bright spark gave a smaller general waste bin.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Council anchors. Mandy and the Blue Brothers, I hope your
- 25:05Speaker 2: garbage does not go to Fort Knightley because all I
- 25:08Speaker 2: see is normal rubbish in recycling green bins. You can
- 25:11Speaker 2: clearly see it. The Garbos should not pick them up,
- 25:14Speaker 2: but they do. It makes the bins pointless. Let's head
- 25:17Speaker 2: out to One Tree Hill. Brad, good morning.
- 25:19Speaker 11: Yeah, good morning there, boys. First car, a bit of
- 25:23Speaker 11: a story here, given to me was an Austin A40.
- 25:27Speaker 11: It had hydraulic front brakes and mechanical rear linkage brakes.
- 25:33Speaker 11: That's how old it was. And on a Thursday night
- 25:37Speaker 11: back in those days when we went to Gawler High,
- 25:39Speaker 11: it had introduced 10 o'clock closing in Gawler. And me
- 25:45Speaker 11: and a couple of mates, it's a bit like the
- 25:47Speaker 11: Newcastle song. We used to cruise up and down Murray Street,
- 25:50Speaker 11: singing the song, you know, like, never let a chance
- 25:53Speaker 11: go by.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Oh, great memories, Brad. Was that a two-door or a four-door?
- 25:57Speaker 11: Four-door, yeah, and it had side blinkers that come out
- 26:00Speaker 11: on the pillar there.
- 26:01Speaker 7: Oh, yes.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Awesome.
- 26:03Speaker 11: Yeah. Yeah, and it weighed about a ton, and, well,
- 26:07Speaker 11: I wouldn't call the... Cream off a rice pudding.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Well done, Brad. Marge, good morning.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Oh, hi.
- 26:16Speaker 9: I have a neighbour. He puts the rubbish in my
- 26:20Speaker 9: bin every week.
- 26:21Speaker 7: Oh, no. Oh, God, Marge.
- 26:23Speaker 12: Puts it in the wrong bin.
- 26:24Speaker 6: So I wait till the truck comes and I go
- 26:26Speaker 6: out and I take it out and I put it.
- 26:27Speaker 9: Back in their bin.
- 26:29Speaker 2: It's a Mexican standoff with rubbish in Hampstead Gardens.
- 26:31Speaker 9: Oh, no, Marge.
- 26:32Speaker 3: You've got a bit of a neighbour feud happening.
- 26:35Speaker 12: And I just stand there until the truck goes and
- 26:37Speaker 12: I bring my bin back in.
- 26:39Speaker 4: Okay, and are you civil with the neighbour? Is it
- 26:42Speaker 4: a bit of a nod, like well played, or are
- 26:43Speaker 4: you kind of at each other?
- 26:44Speaker 6: No, I just give her a dirty look, that's all.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Wouldn't want to be on your side, wrong side there, Marge.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Thanks for your call. Michael at Ross Trevor, what are
- 26:55Speaker 4: you up to this morning?
- 26:58Speaker 10: Negotiating the light rain showers up Norton Summit Road.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Okay, so there's a little bit of rain, is there?
- 27:04Speaker 10: Yeah, it's enough to have the sun visor on to
- 27:07Speaker 10: keep the rain out of your face. Certainly not as
- 27:10Speaker 10: nice and warm as yesterday. First car, Ford XT wagon,
- 27:16Speaker 10: which I think was the late 60s. They were built
- 27:19Speaker 10: like a tank.
- 27:21Speaker 7: But they were solid. Yep. And then my mother, also in.
- 27:25Speaker 10: The shed, my mother's English Morris 1100, built in 1964.
- 27:32Speaker 10: And then the first car that I actually really owned,
- 27:36Speaker 10: that I purchased with my own money, was a Man,
- 27:40Speaker 10: it's a 323. That was a great car.
- 27:42Speaker 7: Yeah. But that was very fuel, economical car.
- 27:45Speaker 10: Little four-cylinder, 1.8, no computers, easy to maintain yourself. And
- 27:53Speaker 10: I quite agree about your bins. You've really got to
- 27:55Speaker 10: have a good relationship with your neighbours, don't you? If
- 27:57Speaker 10: you really want to just put it in the bin,
- 27:59Speaker 10: you don't want to put them offside.
- 28:02Speaker 7: Agree, Michael.
- 28:02Speaker 3: I think that's good practice.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Well done, Michael. Any bad neighbour stories?
- 28:06Speaker 4: Oh, no.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Marge might be leading.
- 28:08Speaker 5: Oh, Marge.
- 28:09Speaker 3: As I said, you wouldn't want to be on the
- 28:11Speaker 3: wrong side of Marge.
- 28:11Speaker 2: It sounds pretty civil, but just a dirty look here
- 28:13Speaker 2: or there.
- 28:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Just a little reminder of, at least ask.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Just hello, hello. This is Marge's street here.
- 28:18Speaker 2: Just ask before you use me, Ben, all right?
- 28:20Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just keep that intake. Nice work, Marge.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Garrett Collinswood, good morning.
- 28:25Speaker 7: Good morning, guys.
- 28:26Speaker 9: How are you?
- 28:26Speaker 2: Good, Gary. Yeah.
- 28:28Speaker 8: I think they must get consultants in now and then,
- 28:31Speaker 8: pay them a million dollars to come up with these
- 28:33Speaker 8: rubbish bin ideas. Look, it's not all straightforward because, look,
- 28:39Speaker 8: I live on my own. So if I went to
- 28:42Speaker 8: rubbish bin a fortnight, that wouldn't bother me.
- 28:45Speaker 7: You were talking about being smelly.
- 28:47Speaker 8: But a family of five or something, if they.
- 28:49Speaker 7: Have to wait for two weeks, you know, it's not long.
- 28:54Speaker 8: Secondly, with the I don't mind people, like where I live,
- 29:00Speaker 8: they just, we sort of tell each other, you know,
- 29:03Speaker 8: our bin's full, do you mind if we, have you
- 29:05Speaker 8: got room in your bin, can we put stuff in?
- 29:08Speaker 9: And we're happy with that.
- 29:09Speaker 8: There's no problem there. I don't believe you should just go,
- 29:13Speaker 8: or unless, you know, the truck's coming and then you
- 29:15Speaker 8: go across the road and put something in the bin,
- 29:17Speaker 8: you know, it's.
- 29:17Speaker 7: Going to be empty.
- 29:18Speaker 8: Because what you don't want to do is the guy
- 29:20Speaker 8: comes out to put some more stuff in his bin
- 29:22Speaker 8: and you've filled his bin up, you know, so that's
- 29:25Speaker 8: no good. And then you said about your dad going across.
- 29:29Speaker 8: He's been put across the road. Look, I don't have
- 29:33Speaker 8: a problem with that. Let's say that people across the road,
- 29:36Speaker 8: they're going on holidays. So they're not going to use him.
- 29:40Speaker 8: bin anyway. That's no problem. Or, again, you could ask them, say, look,
- 29:44Speaker 8: my bin's full. Are you going to put your bin out?
- 29:46Speaker 7: No, I'm not.
- 29:47Speaker 11: Then it's just courtesy, that's all.
- 29:49Speaker 8: You don't want to be like Marge and, you know, that's,
- 29:52Speaker 8: she puts bin. The funny thing when she said that
- 29:55Speaker 8: she put, that Ina puts the rubbish in her bin
- 29:58Speaker 8: and And then she goes out and puts it back
- 30:02Speaker 8: in their bin where they must have room, unless it
- 30:05Speaker 8: smells really bad or something. I don't know. But, yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 8: I just leave it as it is with the bin, really.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Well done, Gary.
- 30:17Speaker 4: What would all the public service kind of consultants do, though, Gary,
- 30:21Speaker 4: if we left everything as it is as it's working?
- 30:23Speaker 4: It would be a very, very boring kind of year,
- 30:26Speaker 4: wouldn't it? Well, they've got to spend the money. I mean,
- 30:30Speaker 4: we can't have a budget surplus. We can't leave money there, Sam.
- 30:33Speaker 3: That would be ridiculous.
- 30:35Speaker 2: We're going to get to a quick break. 22 minutes
- 30:36Speaker 2: to six on this Tuesday morning. Before we do, though,
- 30:39Speaker 2: we're celebrating the people who prove there's no age limit
- 30:41Speaker 2: on making a difference. We're searching for seven sensational South
- 30:45Speaker 2: Australians over 70 who continue to achieve, lead and inspire.
- 30:49Speaker 2: If you know someone sensational, a friend, a neighbour, or
- 30:52Speaker 2: maybe it's you, you only have a few more days
- 30:54Speaker 2: remaining to nominate, 5AA. com. au. and highlight their outstanding contributions. It's
- 30:59Speaker 2: proudly presented by 5AA and AFM Wealth Strategy. Plan the
- 31:03Speaker 2: retirement you want to live with independent advice. You can
- 31:06Speaker 2: trust afmwealthstrategy.com.au.
- 31:10Speaker 3: That's like a Dr. Seuss tongue twister.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Seven sensational South Australians over 70. Wowzers.
- 31:16Speaker 3: Just had a quick thought.
- 31:18Speaker 4: We actually have a waste management consultant who's often texting
- 31:22Speaker 4: in on the show.
- 31:23Speaker 1: We do.
- 31:24Speaker 3: You know who I'm talking about.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I know exactly who you're talking about.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Rob from Clearview, if you've got a minute, maybe just
- 31:29Speaker 4: buzz up. Let's talk a little bit of waste.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Let's do some trash talk.
- 31:32Speaker 3: If you've got a sec, trash talk with Rob.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 31:39Speaker 2: 18 minutes to 6 on this Tuesday morning. If you're
- 31:50Speaker 2: tuned in, high-fives for the first time. Currently, it is
- 31:53Speaker 2: 16.3 degrees today, going for a top of 23 degrees
- 31:57Speaker 2: with a possible storm. Not a lot of rain on
- 31:59Speaker 2: the radar, just 0 to 1 mil. Looking out over
- 32:02Speaker 2: High Marsh Square, still a lot of low-level cloud about.
- 32:06Speaker 2: So we'd love to hear from you. What's it like
- 32:07Speaker 2: in your area? It was a warm night last night.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Is there any rain around where you are? Been talking
- 32:13Speaker 2: about a few things this morning. Bin etiquette. One local
- 32:16Speaker 2: council wants to revert the weekly, weekly garbage red bin,
- 32:20Speaker 2: red lid pickup to fortnightly. And how do you go
- 32:24Speaker 2: with putting rubbish in other people's bins on your street?
- 32:26Speaker 2: How long have you queued up for? Because this is
- 32:29Speaker 2: off the back of Adrian Portello and his... It was
- 32:33Speaker 2: LMCT Plus, 99-cent fuel giveaway on the weekend. Some people
- 32:37Speaker 2: were lining up at about 4.30 for a kilometre, which
- 32:40Speaker 2: was just ridiculous. Or First Cars, 8223 0000. But, Neddy,
- 32:45Speaker 2: you put the call out.
- 32:46Speaker 3: I certainly did.
- 32:47Speaker 4: Joining us now on the program is waste management expert
- 32:50Speaker 4: Rob from Clearview.
- 32:52Speaker 3: Rob, thanks for joining us.
- 32:54Speaker 7: Good morning, guys. Literally putting my bins out as we talk.
- 32:58Speaker 4: Rob, I tried to do a bit more of a
- 32:59Speaker 4: serious intro there because you are a waste management expert.
- 33:02Speaker 3: What do you think about these proposed changes?
- 33:05Speaker 7: Look, I did a bit of time in Resi and
- 33:09Speaker 7: you can tell the type of suburb you're in because
- 33:12Speaker 7: you can. Like, you know, young families, lots of waste.
- 33:15Speaker 7: Older people, a bit less waste. Sometimes you're ethnic demographic.
- 33:18Speaker 7: Some people like the garden more than others. So you
- 33:20Speaker 7: can get a sense of who lives in what area
- 33:23Speaker 7: just by what's going in your truck. And a young family,
- 33:26Speaker 7: they will struggle.
- 33:29Speaker 4: That's what our text line is saying, Rob. It's not
- 33:31Speaker 4: a one-size-fits-all model, is it?
- 33:34Speaker 7: No, no. And I've gone out there and done it
- 33:40Speaker 7: in my truck a couple of times. And, Sam, if
- 33:42Speaker 7: I saw your old man doing that, you can tell
- 33:44Speaker 7: when someone's whipped the bin across the road. That is
- 33:47Speaker 7: cheating a bit.
- 33:48Speaker 3: He's not fooling anyone then, Rob. So you guys were
- 33:50Speaker 3: all over that.
- 33:51Speaker 7: He's not fooling anyone. And you get paid not a
- 33:54Speaker 7: lot to do each bin. So the more bins you do,
- 33:57Speaker 7: you're getting paid to do stuff for the council for free.
- 33:59Speaker 7: So there's that aspect of it.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Oh, so Sam's dad's actually a bit of a flog.
- 34:03Speaker 4: Yes.
- 34:06Speaker 7: Oh, look, you know, it's not worth the argument. You'll
- 34:09Speaker 7: just flick it and keep going. And then a lot
- 34:12Speaker 7: of bins now, like where we were, the bins had
- 34:14Speaker 7: little sensors in the bins so I could sit on
- 34:16Speaker 7: the computer and see if your bin's been done or not.
- 34:19Speaker 7: So if you rang up and said, oh, you've missed
- 34:21Speaker 7: my bin, I can say, well, at 8.30 and 33 seconds,
- 34:25Speaker 7: we're in your neighbours either side of you. So you've
- 34:27Speaker 7: got the bin out or you're going for an extra
- 34:29Speaker 7: pickup and things like that. So there's a bit of
- 34:30Speaker 7: technology involved these days.
- 34:32Speaker 3: Is that true, Rob?
- 34:33Speaker 6: Wow.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Individual bins have sensors in them.
- 34:37Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. Not all councils, the ones I've worked with, yes. Wow.
- 34:41Speaker 7: So there's that. And then, you know, for a funny story,
- 34:45Speaker 7: one of the late 26, I thought, I'll go do
- 34:47Speaker 7: a few of the streets. And I'm coming up, I'm
- 34:50Speaker 7: flicking the bins, and a young lady thought, oh, damn,
- 34:53Speaker 7: I forgot to put my bins out. So she's come
- 34:55Speaker 7: running out, she's grabbed the bin.
- 34:56Speaker 2: And it was only at.
- 34:57Speaker 7: That stage that she looked down at herself and thought, hmm,
- 35:01Speaker 7: just in a bra and knickers. She's looked at me,
- 35:05Speaker 7: she's looked at herself, she's looked at the truck, she's
- 35:07Speaker 7: looked at me and she thought, damn it, I'm going
- 35:08Speaker 7: to go for it. So she whipped the bin down
- 35:10Speaker 7: to the curb. And as I'm driving up, she says,
- 35:13Speaker 7: I suppose you see all sorts. I said, well, normally
- 35:15Speaker 7: we get a beer at Christmas, but thank you very much.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Rob, does that still happen? Do people still leave out
- 35:21Speaker 2: six-packs for the Garbos?
- 35:23Speaker 7: Not as much. The further away from the city centre
- 35:25Speaker 7: you get, yes, they do. I used to have an
- 35:27Speaker 7: old bloke out of Galway. Every Friday, I'd give my
- 35:29Speaker 7: driver a Coke for now and a beer for after work.
- 35:31Speaker 3: That's gold.
- 35:33Speaker 7: So, yeah, no, I'd go to the driver's. When you
- 35:35Speaker 7: come into Recule, just leave it in my office and
- 35:37Speaker 7: then take it home at the end of the day
- 35:38Speaker 7: because I'd totally be driving around with a whole lot
- 35:40Speaker 7: of beer in there.
- 35:40Speaker 3: No, definitely not.
- 35:42Speaker 7: Yeah, but you still get a few people doing things
- 35:45Speaker 7: like that, which is really nice.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Do you look at the camera when you're flipping?
- 35:53Speaker 7: Yeah, you want to make sure everything comes out of
- 35:55Speaker 7: the bin.
- 35:56Speaker 4: But do you see, like, what style of waste is
- 35:58Speaker 4: coming out? So if someone does something dodgy with their
- 36:00Speaker 4: recycling bin, do you go, oh, you know, that's the
- 36:03Speaker 4: wrong thing to do?
- 36:03Speaker 2: Do you see that?
- 36:04Speaker 7: Yeah, look, you can. We do, well, we used to
- 36:09Speaker 7: do bin audits too where we'd send a truck out
- 36:11Speaker 7: and just give them a list of random addresses and
- 36:13Speaker 7: go pick these bins up. and we'd have someone actually
- 36:15Speaker 7: pick through it. So you can just see what's going
- 36:17Speaker 7: into what bit. So if you know what it's due,
- 36:19Speaker 7: go on. And then you can get a sense of
- 36:22Speaker 7: who's putting what in what bit and what education might
- 36:24Speaker 7: be needed in certain areas. You can see what goes
- 36:27Speaker 7: in there. There's a hopper camera there. But once it's
- 36:29Speaker 7: in the hopper, you're not asking the driver to get
- 36:31Speaker 7: up and pick it out.
- 36:31Speaker 2: No, goodness, no.
- 36:33Speaker 7: The biggest danger is batteries. Batteries will set the truck
- 36:35Speaker 7: on fire because they get caught under. There's a paddle
- 36:37Speaker 7: in there that pushes the waste back.
- 36:39Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 36:39Speaker 7: And if they start rubbing and things like that. So
- 36:41Speaker 7: you can... I've got a few truck fires over the journey. So, yeah.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Rob, this is just great insight.
- 36:47Speaker 4: We've learnt a lot about waste there.
- 36:49Speaker 3: That could not have gone any better, Rob. Thank you.
- 36:51Speaker 7: Anytime, fellas.
- 36:53Speaker 3: I love you, mate.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Look at that. You didn't think you'd be learning about
- 36:55Speaker 2: waste management this morning and the fact that trucks can
- 36:58Speaker 2: tell you exactly what time the bin was picked up.
- 37:00Speaker 3: That was fascinating.
- 37:01Speaker 4: So I would be someone who'd think, oh, maybe I
- 37:03Speaker 4: could do a cheeky here and say they missed it,
- 37:05Speaker 4: which is the wrong thing to do. And I actually
- 37:07Speaker 4: haven't done it, but that's probably my style of fast
- 37:09Speaker 4: and loose, give everything a bit of a crack.
- 37:11Speaker 3: But you can't get away with it. And as Rob said,
- 37:14Speaker 3: they are paid per.
- 37:14Speaker 4: Bin in a way. So, you know, if you're asking
- 37:17Speaker 4: them to do extra work, it's probably unfair on them. Well,
- 37:19Speaker 4: it's definitely unfair on them.
- 37:20Speaker 3: So thanks, Rob. That was great.
- 37:22Speaker 2: So keep the calls coming in, 822-300-00. We're talking about
- 37:25Speaker 2: queuing up and what you might queue up for. There's
- 37:27Speaker 2: a couple of artists... And bands coming back to Australia
- 37:32Speaker 2: or reforming. Last week we heard Powderfinger.
- 37:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Powderfinger are reforming. They're going to do a tour next year.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Already some whispers, some whispers that they could be the
- 37:46Speaker 2: grand final AFL entertainment.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Oh, build up into the grand final.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Because the proposed dates that they have had set, there's
- 37:54Speaker 2: a bit of a window.
- 37:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Here is Powderfinger on radio yesterday. My kids were twins,
- 37:59Speaker 2: were six, and my youngest was three. So, I mean,
- 38:01Speaker 2: they had no idea who we were. They never saw it.
- 38:04Speaker 2: They weren't having a clue what dad used to do.
- 38:06Speaker 2: So they're saying the kids had a real say in
- 38:11Speaker 2: Powderfinger getting back together, about 16, 17 years since they
- 38:14Speaker 2: were together as a band. This morning we're learning that
- 38:17Speaker 2: Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi is coming to our shores. However... No,
- 38:30Speaker 2: what's happening?
- 38:30Speaker 10: Not at Adelaide?
- 38:31Speaker 2: Not in Adelaide.
- 38:32Speaker 9: No!
- 38:33Speaker 6: No!
- 38:34Speaker 2: At the moment, it's going to be Thursday 4 March
- 38:36Speaker 2: 2027 at Marvel Stadium, then Thursday 11 March at a
- 38:42Speaker 2: core stadium in New South Wales. Skipping Adelaide. Tickets go
- 38:46Speaker 2: on sale on Friday. Would you be lining up for
- 38:50Speaker 2: these tickets, Bon Jovi or Powderfinger? 8223 0000. Yeah, that's
- 38:55Speaker 2: a goodie.
- 38:55Speaker 4: Can I talk concerts in Adelaide? I reckon we'd have
- 38:58Speaker 4: some listeners, Sammy, who would be all over this and
- 39:00Speaker 4: can help me out. Is the reason Bon Jovi doesn't
- 39:04Speaker 4: come to Adelaide because the only precinct that would justify
- 39:07Speaker 4: it would be Adelaide Oval and then the cost of that,
- 39:10Speaker 4: I'm guessing, would be extreme?
- 39:11Speaker 3: Is that the reason?
- 39:12Speaker 2: I'd assume so. And in March, that's footy season, isn't it?
- 39:15Speaker 7: True.
- 39:16Speaker 4: So the Adelaide Entertainment Centre wouldn't be large enough for
- 39:19Speaker 4: Bon Jovi, obviously. And then we don't have another venue
- 39:22Speaker 4: in larger size.
- 39:23Speaker 2: It's funny you should say that, though, because about two
- 39:25Speaker 2: or three years ago, Paul McCartney, the Beatle, the legend,
- 39:29Speaker 2: he came to Adelaide. performed at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
- 39:32Speaker 2: I was there. Unbelievable.
- 39:35Speaker 3: So why don't we get these acts?
- 39:37Speaker 12: Why?
- 39:37Speaker 2: It would have to be about logistics and stadiums. But
- 39:40Speaker 2: we're seeing this a bit more now where.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Big acts, big bands might just set up a little
- 39:45Speaker 2: residency or a couple of big shows. Oasis last year
- 39:48Speaker 2: just did New South Wales and Victoria. Whenever Harry Styles
- 39:52Speaker 2: comes here, he does the big stadiums in New South
- 39:54Speaker 2: Wales and Victoria, maybe Perth. If we are missing out
- 39:58Speaker 2: here in Adelaide, it does always seem to be those
- 40:01Speaker 2: acts that are looking for a stadium, and we've only
- 40:04Speaker 2: got the one stadium, and it's heavily in use. Yeah,
- 40:08Speaker 2: it is. You're right.
- 40:09Speaker 4: With Melbourne being relatively close and a lot of people
- 40:13Speaker 4: I know travel for acts that they love, do you
- 40:16Speaker 4: think that lies in the reason as well?
- 40:19Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if you're going to head to a concert,
- 40:21Speaker 2: I've been to Melbourne a couple of times just for concerts.
- 40:23Speaker 3: For a concert? I know people that do that.
- 40:25Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 40:25Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Probably would weigh on it.
- 40:26Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting because I had this kind of written
- 40:28Speaker 4: down to touch on with you today about... Adelaide and
- 40:31Speaker 4: what we may need, there's a new seven-week entertainment precinct
- 40:35Speaker 4: called Lucky's Clubhouse. It's coming to Festival Plaza. It's got
- 40:38Speaker 4: pickleball courts, live music, fitness classes, food, all of that stuff.
- 40:42Speaker 4: That may be of interest to some of our listeners.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Some of our listeners might go, well, I don't care
- 40:46Speaker 4: at all, and that's fine. But off the back of
- 40:49Speaker 4: Bon Jovi not coming here, off the back of that
- 40:51Speaker 4: conversation we just had, is there anything in South Australia
- 40:54Speaker 4: that we don't have that we actually do need?
- 40:56Speaker 3: Mm. Is there a real need for.
- 40:59Speaker 4: A new live entertainment venue? Do we need a theme park?
- 41:03Speaker 4: Is there something that someone's thought of and went, yeah,
- 41:07Speaker 4: I really think that might actually add to our state?
- 41:09Speaker 2: Well, the Marshall government in 2022 took it to the
- 41:11Speaker 2: people that they were going to build a new entertainment
- 41:13Speaker 2: centre over the rail yards.
- 41:15Speaker 5: Mm.
- 41:16Speaker 2: The Malinowskis opposition back then said we don't need a
- 41:18Speaker 2: basketball stadium. We've gone ahead and built a golf course
- 41:22Speaker 2: and a racetrack.
- 41:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:24Speaker 4: Is that something that you think South Australians now would
- 41:27Speaker 4: look a little more favourably at?
- 41:29Speaker 2: Probably not in this climate with once we've already spent
- 41:33Speaker 2: money on a golf course and a racetrack. But I
- 41:35Speaker 2: would have thought a new entertainment centre, a bigger one
- 41:38Speaker 2: that can be used for bigger events. Because when you
- 41:41Speaker 2: do go to the entertainment centre and it is a sellout,
- 41:44Speaker 2: It is a bit squishy. It does look dated. But
- 41:46Speaker 2: at the same time, it still does the job.
- 41:49Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 41:50Speaker 2: So it's an interesting point. I will give you a
- 41:52Speaker 2: bit of a left field one that Adelaide needs, a
- 41:54Speaker 2: better transport system, a better train system.
- 41:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 41:57Speaker 2: A city loop for the trains and a better transport
- 42:01Speaker 2: corridors north, south, and east.
- 42:03Speaker 3: Trains, yeah.
- 42:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:05Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have a sophisticated train system at all,
- 42:07Speaker 3: do we?
- 42:07Speaker 2: No, not at all.
- 42:09Speaker 4: Yeah, are trains the answer with the cost of infrastructure
- 42:11Speaker 4: or are buses the answer? The more people need to
- 42:13Speaker 4: get on a bus.
- 42:14Speaker 7: Trains.
- 42:15Speaker 2: The roads are getting clogged up as is.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Dedicated bus lanes and more people get on a bus.
- 42:19Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that just don't want to
- 42:21Speaker 4: get on a bus, but is the answer that more
- 42:22Speaker 4: people need to jump on?
- 42:23Speaker 2: 8223 0000, seven minutes to six. Got to get to
- 42:26Speaker 2: a quick break. Still got that Colac Port Adelaide voucher
- 42:28Speaker 2: to give away before six o'clock. Back in a moment.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 42:40Speaker 2: Four to six. Stacey and Will for 5AA Breakfast coming
- 42:43Speaker 2: up shortly. Plenty coming on 5AA Breakfast. Then it'll be
- 42:47Speaker 2: over to the newsroom. Jason Kemp and Kendall Bredick for
- 42:49Speaker 2: the 6 o'clock news. But before we get out of here,
- 42:51Speaker 2: this is one for Cathy, our bird nerd. We obviously
- 42:54Speaker 2: had her on last week speaking about the Aussie bird count.
- 42:57Speaker 8: Yes.
- 42:58Speaker 2: It's underway, Ned.
- 42:59Speaker 7: Oh, good.
- 42:59Speaker 2: It's currently underway.
- 43:00Speaker 7: Dr.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Gronja Cleary spoke to Graeme Goodings yesterday just on that.
- 43:04Speaker 12: You can all take part. It's 20 minutes. Once a
- 43:08Speaker 12: day for, you know, the period of this week till Sunday,
- 43:12Speaker 12: they have a really nice app, the Aussie Bird Count app.
- 43:15Speaker 12: Download that. And within that, there's a bird finding tool
- 43:20Speaker 12: that will help you identify the bird you're seeing. So
- 43:23Speaker 12: just go out. Sit in your favourite spot. Listen for
- 43:27Speaker 12: the birds as well. You don't always have to see them.
- 43:29Speaker 12: Listen for their call. And then, you know, let your eyes,
- 43:33Speaker 12: let your ear draw you to your eyes to where
- 43:35Speaker 12: the bird is. And it's a really good time just
- 43:38Speaker 12: to reflect as well, just to be with nature.
- 43:40Speaker 2: So you guys spend 20 minutes at some point on
- 43:42Speaker 2: the app. Click down what you've seen. Going to be
- 43:46Speaker 2: counting some birds on the farm, Neddy.
- 43:48Speaker 3: Oh, there's Kathy. She's texting.
- 43:50Speaker 4: There's her first bird count. Kath, I will do 20
- 43:53Speaker 4: minutes out there. I want to see what I see.
- 43:55Speaker 4: I see a lot of crows, the occasional eagle.
- 43:58Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Kathy has sighted a lot of birds yesterday afternoon from
- 44:02Speaker 2: 12.46 to 20 minutes. One, I can't even count.
- 44:05Speaker 7: How many?
- 44:05Speaker 3: She eats a few rainbow lorikeets around.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Five noisy miners.
- 44:09Speaker 4: And eight new Holland honey eaters.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Six red wattlebirds. Kathy is on it. Is anyone else
- 44:16Speaker 2: joining in on the Aussie bird count?
- 44:18Speaker 4: They must have a bit of energy, the honey eaters.
- 44:20Speaker 4: They'd be kicking around, wouldn't they? Plenty of calories in honey.
- 44:23Speaker 4: Do they actually eat honey, Kathy? No, I'm sure they
- 44:27Speaker 4: do something with honey. That name would make sense. Sammy,
- 44:30Speaker 4: the newsroom will cover it at 6 o'clock, but federal
- 44:33Speaker 4: independent MP Helen Haynes might lose both her legs after
- 44:37Speaker 4: being struck by a four-wheel drive.
- 44:38Speaker 3: That's a huge story, really, isn't it?
- 44:40Speaker 2: Will and Stace will be covering it. I'll cross over
- 44:42Speaker 2: to Phil Curry from the Australian Financial Review to get
- 44:44Speaker 2: the very latest out of Canberra. Also across to Sunrise,
- 44:47Speaker 2: who was on the scene this morning. So if you
- 44:49Speaker 2: want to get up to date with what is happening
- 44:51Speaker 2: over there, we know the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, he
- 44:53Speaker 2: spoke last night at a press conference. He'll be speaking
- 44:56Speaker 2: across the morning too to bring us up to date
- 44:58Speaker 2: with what has actually occurred and what is going on
- 45:01Speaker 2: with the independent MP, Helen Haynes.
- 45:04Speaker 4: Yeah, just thought it was important to mention that those
- 45:06Speaker 4: developments will be heard here on 5AA coming up.
- 45:09Speaker 2: What's in store for you today, Neddy? Farm life?
- 45:12Speaker 3: Farm, farm, farm, farm, farm. A little bit of filming.
- 45:15Speaker 2: What about you?
- 45:16Speaker 3: I don't know why.
- 45:18Speaker 7: I do that.
- 45:18Speaker 2: Do you just put voices on when you get a
- 45:20Speaker 2: bit nervous? No, Sammy, I am... Just try to hide
- 45:22Speaker 2: who you are.
- 45:23Speaker 3: I am very nervous at the moment. I'm shaking. No,
- 45:27Speaker 3: I don't know why.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Perhaps it just comes out of a weird kind of
- 45:30Speaker 4: ADHD type thing.
- 45:31Speaker 2: I'll put it down to that.
- 45:32Speaker 3: What are you doing today, Sam?
- 45:34Speaker 2: Producing an excellent morning's program with Graeme Goodings, that's for sure. Fabulous.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Enjoy the morning. High five. It's 23 degrees with a
- 45:40Speaker 2: possible storm. Doesn't look like there's too much rain out there.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Currently 16.1. We'll catch you tomorrow morning from 5 right
- 45:46Speaker 2: here on Early Breakfast.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
