- 0:50Speaker 2: a day out. We're a day out. We are asking
- 0:52Speaker 2: the question though this morning. Anyone on the roads right now?
- 0:55Speaker 2: We are obviously we're yesterday. We're influx of people at
- 0:58Speaker 2: the gym at this hour of the day would was
- 1:00Speaker 2: lovely And if you're at the gym again, let us
- 1:01Speaker 2: know eight double two three double O double low. But
- 1:03Speaker 2: we want to know, anyone who's out on the roads
- 1:05Speaker 2: this morning, what are the petrol prices looking around Adelaide,
- 1:08Speaker 2: Because at the start of the week, when all this
- 1:10Speaker 2: stuff in the Middle East was kicking off, we were
- 1:12Speaker 2: looking at a round about between the dollar fifty five
- 1:14Speaker 2: on the really cheap side, but more like dollar sixty
- 1:17Speaker 2: five to dollar sixty nine. Now looking around Adelaide, it's
- 1:21Speaker 2: looking like it's pushing up around the dollar ninety mark.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And we've already heard that members of the government and
- 1:27Speaker 2: the opposition telling the ageable CE to crack down on
- 1:30Speaker 2: fuel companies because there's no need for the prices to
- 1:33Speaker 2: be going up just yet. We have over thirty days
- 1:35Speaker 2: reserve in the country, but we are seeing petrol prices
- 1:39Speaker 2: go up. So if you're out in the roads, we
- 1:41Speaker 2: want to hear from you. Eight double two three double
- 1:42Speaker 2: low double what have you been saying?
- 1:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw a report of unlet it up towards
- 1:47Speaker 3: two point fifty somewhere which was absolutely outrageous. So we
- 1:50Speaker 3: haven't seen that since COVID days. Really, can I ask
- 1:54Speaker 3: a really ignorant question because I'm honestly not sure.
- 1:57Speaker 2: If I don't know the answer, I'm sure someone will.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Yeah, help us guys or girls.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Of course.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Now do the companies come together as in does Shell
- 2:05Speaker 3: come together as Shell? And do they kind of decide
- 2:09Speaker 3: a bracket of which they'll put prices out in the
- 2:12Speaker 3: same way a tr in the same way BP? I
- 2:15Speaker 3: mean BP is not as frequent now, is it.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Well BP less BP has become the it's not on
- 2:23Speaker 2: the run anymore. So Shell is now providing fuel for
- 2:25Speaker 2: on the on the run because Shelle own on the runes.
- 2:28Speaker 2: BP is the old mobile ones. Oh yes, and the
- 2:32Speaker 2: ex convenience convence. So they provide fuel to ex convenience
- 2:35Speaker 2: these days.
- 2:35Speaker 3: So that's what I'm saying. So is there a cross
- 2:38Speaker 3: section of them all working together and going, hey, we're
- 2:40Speaker 3: going to hit this kind of price point.
- 2:42Speaker 2: They shouldn't be.
- 2:43Speaker 3: That's not allowed, that's not allowed to know, but Shell
- 2:45Speaker 3: would work together. I mean, if you look at Shell here.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So this is in Brisbane. I've just clicked over to Well,
- 2:50Speaker 2: we're looking at about a dollar two dollars twenty for
- 2:53Speaker 2: fuel in some parts a dollar ninety nine. So Brisbane
- 2:57Speaker 2: in Queensland looks like it's doing it a bit rough
- 2:59Speaker 2: right now. Sydney, same sort of. This is the interesting
- 3:02Speaker 2: thing though as well, when you think of the ships
- 3:06Speaker 2: coming into Brisbane and Brisbane and Sydney, it's not traveling
- 3:09Speaker 2: as far as Adelaide, so there's no need for there's
- 3:13Speaker 2: no need for the prices to be going up like
- 3:14Speaker 2: they are. So in Sydney we're looking up around tittle
- 3:17Speaker 2: of twenty mark. If we click over to Perth, they're
- 3:21Speaker 2: a bit more expensive than Oh no, they're just a
- 3:23Speaker 2: bit cheaper than us a dollar seventy dollars eighty. So
- 3:26Speaker 2: it is going up. We still don't know why it's
- 3:28Speaker 2: going or mean, we know why it's going up is
- 3:30Speaker 2: because people are greedy. But love to know what you're
- 3:33Speaker 2: seeing around Adelaide and right now, if there's any cheaper situations,
- 3:37Speaker 2: and have you seen any other prices go up? As
- 3:39Speaker 2: I said, it's been a week, it shouldn't be going
- 3:41Speaker 2: up just yet. But have you seen any other prices
- 3:43Speaker 2: go up?
- 3:44Speaker 3: You know, there's one industry we love on this program.
- 3:46Speaker 3: That's truckies. We love our truckies. My goodness, my thought
- 3:50Speaker 3: goes straight to Ian or goes straight to Matt or
- 3:54Speaker 3: even rob our Texter. I mean he takes care of
- 3:57Speaker 3: garbage trucks every day. We love our truckies. I reckon
- 4:00Speaker 3: they probably have an understanding on how this all works
- 4:02Speaker 3: and how the logistics of fuel getting to wear. Because
- 4:07Speaker 3: what it has done is started a real conversation regarding
- 4:11Speaker 3: what we're doing with renewables and exporting or creating our
- 4:14Speaker 3: own energy in Australia, hasn't it.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Yeah, because and it's talking about us. We're not sovereign
- 4:19Speaker 2: when it comes to this sort of stuff. We are
- 4:21Speaker 2: at the mercy of what's going on around the world.
- 4:25Speaker 2: We saw it during COVID. How many times do we
- 4:28Speaker 2: see companies around Adelade, South Australia and the country getting
- 4:31Speaker 2: turned into medical face masks, producing places and stuff like that.
- 4:34Speaker 2: So yeah, it's gonna be interesting the next few weeks.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Very interesting. We'd love your thoughts and love your text.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Hey it's Simo again. We had Simio yesterday. I couldn't
- 4:42Speaker 3: pronounce the the town morning lad, Simo from Canamantu.
- 4:47Speaker 2: No, that's that's that's honest.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Honestly trying there.
- 4:51Speaker 2: That was not a can Man too?
- 4:53Speaker 3: Can Man two? Now, Simo, tell me is can Man two?
- 4:56Speaker 3: Is that where the kelpie? Is that where the kelpie shows?
- 5:00Speaker 3: I don't think it's been in Southustralia since about twenty fourteen.
- 5:04Speaker 3: I believe there is a show where the best show
- 5:07Speaker 3: kelpies in Australia are coming to compete. Simmo, if you
- 5:10Speaker 3: could get back to me while you're on that treadmill,
- 5:12Speaker 3: he says, one point five klumbers on the treadmill already
- 5:14Speaker 3: have a great day, boys, if you could get that
- 5:17Speaker 3: to me. No, I'm serious, because I'm gonna put my
- 5:20Speaker 3: dog in there. Pongo.
- 5:21Speaker 5: He's going to go if is he disciplined enough?
- 5:24Speaker 3: No, he's not. He's not that good, but he's pretty
- 5:26Speaker 3: good with the sheep. Okay, I mean I also be
- 5:28Speaker 3: worst kelpies there.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So this is a sort of like a farming dog show.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Was the best farm dog working?
- 5:34Speaker 3: Like shing kelpies. Here we go, Australia's best kelpies to
- 5:39Speaker 3: swarm to South Australia for a national event. Oh no, killing,
- 5:43Speaker 3: no different town. Where's I struggle with these words?
- 5:47Speaker 2: Radio?
- 5:47Speaker 3: I shouldn't be a presented. It sounded out calling gardoo's
- 5:52Speaker 3: kalan Gardoo. Where's that?
- 5:53Speaker 2: I need to see it to be able to pronounce it?
- 5:56Speaker 3: See I'm now. You know, I usually pride myself on
- 5:58Speaker 3: going to most towns in South Autrali wich I done.
- 6:00Speaker 3: But Kalanado here we go, here we go. Fact to
- 6:03Speaker 3: just bear with me here now, oh right, we're down
- 6:06Speaker 3: the southeast. Okay, this is Leith Forest Territory. We're in
- 6:09Speaker 3: between Pinola and about Gambia down there.
- 6:12Speaker 2: As late said, God country, that is.
- 6:14Speaker 3: God's country, beautiful part of the world. Now I apologies
- 6:16Speaker 3: about that, so you can continue on with the treadmill there.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Rob as well in Cleaview Petrol the toilet paper of
- 6:23Speaker 2: twenty twenty six looking like it right now.
- 6:26Speaker 5: Early Breakfast News rap a.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Lot has happened overnight in the Middle East. Sky and
- 6:31Speaker 2: News UK filed this report.
- 6:32Speaker 6: America's self proclaimed Secretary of War gave a bullish account
- 6:35Speaker 6: of the attack on Iran.
- 6:37Speaker 7: Today.
- 6:37Speaker 6: Iran is toast, he said, and they know it. Pete
- 6:41Speaker 6: Hegsith also confirmed that a US submarine sank an Iranian
- 6:45Speaker 6: naval ship off the coast of Sri Lanka, some two
- 6:48Speaker 6: thousand miles across the Arabian Sea from Iran, and he
- 6:51Speaker 6: said they have hunted down and killed the leader of
- 6:54Speaker 6: a unit that tried to assassinate Donald Trump. The President
- 6:58Speaker 6: got the last laugh. He said, have a listened to.
- 7:00Speaker 8: This yesterday in the Indian Ocean, and we'll play it
- 7:05Speaker 8: on screen. There an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship
- 7:10Speaker 8: that thought it was safe.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Instead it was sunk.
- 7:15Speaker 5: By a torpedo. Quiet death.
- 7:19Speaker 8: The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo
- 7:21Speaker 8: since World War II. Like in that war, back when
- 7:26Speaker 8: we were still in the war department, we are fighting
- 7:29Speaker 8: to win. Also yesterday, the leader of the unit who
- 7:34Speaker 8: attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed.
- 7:40Speaker 8: Iran tried to kill President Trump, and President Trump got
- 7:43Speaker 8: the last laugh. Only the United States of America could
- 7:47Speaker 8: lead this, only US. But when you add the Israeli
- 7:51Speaker 8: defense Forces, a devastatingly capable force, the combination is sheer
- 7:56Speaker 8: destruction for our radical Islamist Iranian adversaries. They are toast
- 8:03Speaker 8: and they know it, or at least soon enough they
- 8:07Speaker 8: will know it.
- 8:08Speaker 2: And as we spake, Watte House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt's
- 8:11Speaker 2: he sharing an update from the party.
- 8:13Speaker 9: Feebling the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism are over.
- 8:18Speaker 9: Iran's murderous terrorist leaders are paying for their crimes against America,
- 8:22Speaker 9: and they are paying in blood. Since nineteen seventy nine,
- 8:26Speaker 9: the terrorist Iranian regime has actively and intentionally facilitated the
- 8:31Speaker 9: killings of Americans. They chant death to America and fund
- 8:36Speaker 9: other radical terrorists who attack our country and are seeking
- 8:40Speaker 9: to destroy Western civilization itself. These terrorists seized our embassy
- 8:46Speaker 9: and took sixty six Americans hostage in Tehran. They slaughtered
- 8:50Speaker 9: two hundred and forty one US service members with a truck.
- 8:53Speaker 5: Bombing in Beirut.
- 8:55Speaker 9: They killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq,
- 8:59Speaker 9: and this is just a small fraction of their blood
- 9:02Speaker 9: soaked record.
- 9:03Speaker 5: Prior leaders have been too.
- 9:05Speaker 9: Weak and ineffective to address this threat. Some like Barack
- 9:09Speaker 9: Hussein Obama even sent palettes of cash that ultimately financed
- 9:14Speaker 9: this terrorist crusade against the United States and our people,
- 9:18Speaker 9: while signing stupid and naive deals that put Iran on
- 9:22Speaker 9: the path of developing nuclear bombs. After years of endless
- 9:26Speaker 9: appeasement and empty statements from politicians on both sides of
- 9:30Speaker 9: the political isle in this town, President Trump is finally
- 9:34Speaker 9: the man of action. President Trump is holding these monsters
- 9:38Speaker 9: accountable and permanently extinguishing their nuclear ambitions. Future generations of
- 9:44Speaker 9: Americans will look to this moment as the moment where
- 9:47Speaker 9: the specter of a nuclear arm irand armed Iran ended.
- 9:52Speaker 2: More Flawed's is scheduled out of Dubai over the coming
- 9:55Speaker 2: days to help Australians get home. Two hundred people have
- 9:58Speaker 2: might it back to Sydney after boarding an EMERG flight
- 10:00Speaker 2: in the early hours of the morning. Over one hundred
- 10:03Speaker 2: thousand Australians are stranded in various parts of the Middle
- 10:06Speaker 2: East in the wake of the ret retaler three strikes
- 10:09Speaker 2: by Iran. Opposition leader Angus Taylor has told Parliament he
- 10:12Speaker 2: supports the government's effort to get people out.
- 10:15Speaker 10: Our thoughts are with those Australians in the region and
- 10:18Speaker 10: of course they're families back here in Australia. We also
- 10:22Speaker 10: stand ready and offer any assistance and support we can
- 10:25Speaker 10: to the government to ensure that people that Australians can
- 10:29Speaker 10: get back to safety as soon as possible.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Petrol companies are being accused of ripping off motorists amid
- 10:35Speaker 2: panic buying sparked by tensions in the Middle East. The
- 10:38Speaker 2: wholesale cost of fuel has only risen by five cents
- 10:41Speaker 2: a leader. Over the past week, however, some stations in Sydney,
- 10:44Speaker 2: Melbourne and Brisbane have hiked prices up to fifty cents.
- 10:48Speaker 2: NRMA spokesperson at Peter Coy says the age will see
- 10:52Speaker 2: must take immediate action.
- 10:53Speaker 11: Will also help the productivity debate. If people are getting
- 10:56Speaker 11: they can actually see something why working harder, more inclined
- 11:00Speaker 11: to get on board with a debate that this whole
- 11:03Speaker 11: community is having around productivity. At the moment, our experience
- 11:06Speaker 11: is working. People are turning off.
- 11:08Speaker 2: The opposition claims the Albernezi government is responsible for fueling
- 11:11Speaker 2: the inflation fire, as new data reveals that the economy
- 11:15Speaker 2: is growing. The National accounts show the economy expanded two
- 11:18Speaker 2: point six percent over the year to December. Strong Black
- 11:21Speaker 2: Friday sales and a solid attendance for concerts and sporting
- 11:24Speaker 2: events help drive the result, but Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson
- 11:28Speaker 2: used Parliament to parody a Billy Joel song in a
- 11:31Speaker 2: bid to downplay the result.
- 11:32Speaker 5: To do the treasure did start the inflation fire.
- 11:38Speaker 12: The inflation's burning, while the Treasurer is squirming.
- 11:42Speaker 6: The treasure did start inflation fire.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Yes, he.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Has organized crime to.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Fuel that Tim Wilson, that Shadow Treasure going for a
- 11:51Speaker 2: top of twenty six a day, mostly sunny Friday twenty
- 11:54Speaker 2: seven and sunny Saturday twenty seven and sunny Neddie Groundhog
- 11:57Speaker 2: Day Sunday twenty seven and Sonny Right now in the city,
- 12:01Speaker 2: it is currently twelve point two degrees, so it's a
- 12:04Speaker 2: chilly one out there.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a little jumper on here live at
- 12:07Speaker 3: Highmark Square. Unlike most programs at this hour, so like
- 12:11Speaker 3: to say something like that, Hey, what's something good, folks
- 12:14Speaker 3: that your partner does as just a little just for
- 12:17Speaker 3: a bit of fun this morning at five twelve on
- 12:19Speaker 3: this Thursday. What's What's something that's a little random act
- 12:22Speaker 3: of kindness that either you do for your partner or
- 12:25Speaker 3: your partner.
- 12:26Speaker 5: Does for you.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Now we do it. What's yours?
- 12:28Speaker 3: Well, there's a couple of things, Okay. One thing is
- 12:31Speaker 3: sometimes my partner will put a bit of toothpaste on
- 12:33Speaker 3: my toothbrush save.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Me having to do it. Is that is a nudge
- 12:37Speaker 2: to don't forget to brush your teeth.
- 12:39Speaker 13: Ned.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Actually, the more I think about them, the more they
- 12:41Speaker 3: are centered around hygiene, which is concerned. But that's a
- 12:46Speaker 3: nice one. And she did something the other day. She
- 12:48Speaker 3: knows I get very dehydrated, so yesterday she actually came
- 12:50Speaker 3: around with electrolytes. Now I just thought that's a bit
- 12:53Speaker 3: of fun, isn't it.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Is it fun or making sure you're okay?
- 12:57Speaker 5: Well, yeah, a bit of both.
- 12:58Speaker 3: But folks, what's something you do or something your partner
- 13:01Speaker 3: does if you do have a partner, Just little random
- 13:04Speaker 3: acts of kindness that mean a lot more than just
- 13:06Speaker 3: the act itself. Would love to know this morning at
- 13:08Speaker 3: five thirteen.
- 13:09Speaker 2: A double two to three, double o double. You can
- 13:11Speaker 2: jump on the phones. Random acts of kindness. I've got
- 13:14Speaker 2: one that I want to touch on here. From the ACTU,
- 13:17Speaker 2: they want to start a random act of kindness by
- 13:19Speaker 2: giving all workers an extra week of paid annual lever
- 13:22Speaker 2: a year. Where do we stand on that? So everyone
- 13:25Speaker 2: gets four? The ACTU wants five, so they will pursue
- 13:29Speaker 2: an increase in the annual eventitlement from four to five
- 13:32Speaker 2: because the standard hasn't changed since the mid seventies. The
- 13:35Speaker 2: ACTU says Australian workers carry out an extra four point
- 13:38Speaker 2: five weeks of work every year on average for free,
- 13:43Speaker 2: unpaid overtime. That's a lot of time Younger workers age
- 13:46Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty four perform the most unpaid overtime at
- 13:49Speaker 2: six point four weeks per year on average. Here is
- 13:52Speaker 2: the ACTU Secretary Sally McManus, so.
- 13:55Speaker 5: As to Fullham behind the rest of the world.
- 13:58Speaker 12: Most of the countries in Europ now have more than
- 14:01Speaker 12: four weeks and standards around five, and they're really productive
- 14:05Speaker 12: countries that are doing well. The other thing about Australians
- 14:08Speaker 12: is that we're really hard workers. We work really long hours.
- 14:11Speaker 12: We work Last year three point eight weeks of unpaid
- 14:15Speaker 12: over time. The average worker did so getting one week back.
- 14:19Speaker 5: I reckon it's fair enough.
- 14:20Speaker 2: And it's interesting. You heard Sally there speak about other
- 14:23Speaker 2: European countries. So you've got Austria, Germany, France, Spain and Portugal,
- 14:29Speaker 2: as well as Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden provide more
- 14:34Speaker 2: paid annually than Australia.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Are Australia hard workers?
- 14:38Speaker 2: I think we are really Okay, okay, this could be
- 14:41Speaker 2: an interesting topic. Why do you say that?
- 14:44Speaker 3: What have you seen most industries that I have exposure to,
- 14:48Speaker 3: particularly ones that require manual labor, The productivity of Australians
- 14:53Speaker 3: is absolutely dwarfed by the productivity of people who come
- 14:56Speaker 3: from overseas and do it. The Portland and Chuna industry,
- 14:59Speaker 3: for example, they can early higher Australian people to work
- 15:02Speaker 3: in that sector because they can't keep up. And people
- 15:04Speaker 3: come from Somalians and you know, people from different areas
- 15:07Speaker 3: of the world come over and they absolutely eat it
- 15:09Speaker 3: up because in terms of perspective of pay, they go
- 15:11Speaker 3: and set themselves up for the next six twelve months,
- 15:13Speaker 3: you know, from five or six weeks of work. I
- 15:16Speaker 3: don't think Australia a double two three, double o double
- 15:18Speaker 3: A is someone running a business or someone managing a business.
- 15:22Speaker 3: One how do you get your staff productive? What's the
- 15:24Speaker 3: key to productivity? Is it as simple as more time
- 15:27Speaker 3: off or is it or is it more complex than that?
- 15:29Speaker 3: And two do you find that Australian employees.
- 15:32Speaker 5: Give it a crack?
- 15:34Speaker 3: Are we really the kind of you know, Aussie trou blow,
- 15:37Speaker 3: hard working, kind of hard day.
- 15:39Speaker 2: On the tools, crack a beer at the end of
- 15:41Speaker 2: the day.
- 15:41Speaker 3: People that we seem to be. I'm not sure we
- 15:43Speaker 3: actually deserve that kind of reputation these days. Interesting how
- 15:47Speaker 3: many business iraning to say, oh my staff are just
- 15:49Speaker 3: so incredibly diligent. You know, they go above and beyond think.
- 15:52Speaker 3: I don't think I hear anyone say that now.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Okay, I guess the unions are saying that if we
- 15:57Speaker 2: get an extra week's paid leave, then the likelihood of
- 16:00Speaker 2: burnout is less, which means keeps productivity up. But interesting
- 16:04Speaker 2: take eight double two three double o double ow. What
- 16:06Speaker 2: has everyone else seen out there? Do you think Australian
- 16:08Speaker 2: should be entitled to five weeks of annually from four?
- 16:12Speaker 3: Looking forward to your calls on that and Michael's texting,
- 16:14Speaker 3: he says, at the gym boys random act of kindness,
- 16:17Speaker 3: opening my lunch box and my wife has put a
- 16:19Speaker 3: Turkish Delight in.
- 16:20Speaker 2: There, mate, love it? Michael, are you sure she likes you?
- 16:25Speaker 2: Because a Turkish Delight is one of my least favorite
- 16:29Speaker 2: chocolates in the world. I can't do a Turkish Delight,
- 16:32Speaker 2: that's that's next level. But I'm glad that you enjoy that.
- 16:36Speaker 3: I don't mind a TD. Robert's funny. Here's Robert on
- 16:38Speaker 3: the text line love him. My wife shouted from another room.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Do you ever get a shooting pain across your body
- 16:43Speaker 3: like you're being stabbed with a pin of a voodoot hole?
- 16:47Speaker 3: When I said no, she shouted back, how about now
- 16:51Speaker 3: he's funny. I don't know how he comes up with
- 16:52Speaker 3: the stuff. You need to come in and do a
- 16:54Speaker 3: show with this rob Jack. Employees may as well pay
- 16:57Speaker 3: workers to work. Australian productivity is low compared to other countries,
- 17:02Speaker 3: mainly because of a ridiculous union rules.
- 17:05Speaker 2: It's interesting the union.
- 17:08Speaker 3: I don't see it as being as that simple a
- 17:10Speaker 3: fix for productivity, but would love everyone's thoughts. Eight double
- 17:13Speaker 3: two three double o double oh. Our listeners are out
- 17:15Speaker 3: there on the ground. If you're involved in a business,
- 17:16Speaker 3: if you run a business or your own a business,
- 17:18Speaker 3: let us know. How do you get your staff productive?
- 17:21Speaker 3: And are we as productive as we like to think
- 17:23Speaker 3: we are?
- 17:24Speaker 2: See? I think here on the what are we calling ourselves?
- 17:26Speaker 2: The five am is on early break But we've got
- 17:28Speaker 2: to figure this out in ed. But anyone up and
- 17:30Speaker 2: about now, especially if they're in the gym, they're going
- 17:33Speaker 2: for a walk, if they're on the road, if they're
- 17:35Speaker 2: working the early breakfast audience is high in productivity. Of course,
- 17:39Speaker 2: we are hard workers if you're up at this exactly
- 17:42Speaker 2: so it could be it could be a hard, hard
- 17:44Speaker 2: crowd to be talking to about this.
- 17:46Speaker 3: I'm not disputing that something. But I'm saying that with
- 17:48Speaker 3: such low unemployment, unfortunately, in some ways business owners and
- 17:53Speaker 3: managers don't necessarily have the discretion to go and find
- 17:56Speaker 3: someone else, or people aren't necessarily that hungry for work
- 17:58Speaker 3: because they can find it elsewhere. Anecdotally, from my experience,
- 18:02Speaker 3: when I talk to people, not many of them say
- 18:05Speaker 3: that their employees are, you know, necessarily that motivated or
- 18:09Speaker 3: driven to actually execute anything beyond the kind of bounds
- 18:12Speaker 3: of what's really just required of them to keep their job.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Andrew and Kersburg, Good morning, Andrew.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Good morning boys.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Are lea good good Andrew.
- 18:21Speaker 4: We already have well, as an employer, we already have
- 18:25Speaker 4: an extra week in all the ridiculous public holidays that
- 18:28Speaker 4: we have.
- 18:30Speaker 3: You're suggesting that with all of them added up, it
- 18:32Speaker 3: is an extra week, Andrews. Is that what you're saying?
- 18:34Speaker 14: Oh?
- 18:34Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. But from my perspective, I've been lucky enough
- 18:40Speaker 4: to employ a young autistic kid as an apprentice. And
- 18:46Speaker 4: if you said that to me, oh, how long has
- 18:50Speaker 4: it been named?
- 18:51Speaker 5: Now?
- 18:51Speaker 4: For just on three years? If he said that to
- 18:53Speaker 4: me prior to that, I would have not entertained the thought. So,
- 18:59Speaker 4: but here's the raised this kids like she's awesome. Yeah,
- 19:03Speaker 4: he's absolute beauty. I think we need to look as
- 19:08Speaker 4: far as the productivity side. We need to look outside
- 19:11Speaker 4: the square and where we're looking for for our workers.
- 19:14Speaker 3: What what is it outside the square you think? I
- 19:17Speaker 3: mean you mentioned the personal experience yourself there, Andrew, But
- 19:20Speaker 3: is there is that the answer or is there other answers?
- 19:23Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 19:24Speaker 4: I think sir, Yeah, I don't know. I've not employed
- 19:30Speaker 4: any people from overseas. I know a lot of people
- 19:32Speaker 4: with my trade are now.
- 19:37Speaker 7: There.
- 19:37Speaker 4: I'm not too sure. I think as Australians we are
- 19:40Speaker 4: hard workers, but there is that sense of entitlement as
- 19:45Speaker 4: well that's born off the back of the union movement.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Yeah we.
- 19:54Speaker 4: Built Charles really.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good onion. I've got a co host to it.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Would be very interested to see what you get up
- 20:03Speaker 3: to there.
- 20:03Speaker 2: You love your cars, damn I do. Thank you, Andrew. Encourage.
- 20:06Speaker 2: But we're going to take a quick break twenty minutes
- 20:08Speaker 2: after five, talking about a lot of things here on
- 20:10Speaker 2: early breakfast this morning, So jump on the phones. Should
- 20:12Speaker 2: we get an extra weekend, you'll leave random acts of kindness.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Have you seen the fuel prices spike eight double two, three,
- 20:18Speaker 2: double o, double O four after five is the interesting point,
- 20:21Speaker 2: Andrew Rays. I quickly add it up, and I think
- 20:23Speaker 2: we have about twelve to fourteen public holidays a year.
- 20:25Speaker 5: Is that right?
- 20:26Speaker 3: It's a lot.
- 20:26Speaker 2: It's not enough.
- 20:27Speaker 3: Yeah, keep them coming.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Well, think about the public holiday structure. We have a
- 20:31Speaker 2: lot in the front half of the year. So you've
- 20:33Speaker 2: got New Year's you've got Anzac Day. Not this year, though,
- 20:36Speaker 2: We've got Easter, Dune Long weekend, March Long weekend that
- 20:40Speaker 2: we're coming up. But after June we go for a
- 20:43Speaker 2: bit of a run until October.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 20:44Speaker 2: They need to be spaced out a bit better. Okay, well, yeah,
- 20:48Speaker 2: I'm really big on this.
- 20:49Speaker 3: If you want to go.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Will Goddings is big on this too. We need to
- 20:52Speaker 2: have a public holiday committee that is able to able
- 20:55Speaker 2: to space it.
- 20:56Speaker 3: But they're there for purposes. He's it there to make
- 20:58Speaker 3: it as easy as possible to go way, they're they're
- 21:01Speaker 3: a bit to celebrate certain dates.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Celebrate certain dates, they are, that's what they're there for. Monday,
- 21:06Speaker 2: we are celebrating the Adelaide Cup, the race that stops
- 21:10Speaker 2: the state.
- 21:11Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's stopping the state now, is it?
- 21:13Speaker 2: No? No, so maybe we could just move that one,
- 21:15Speaker 2: you know, till we make up. We'll make one up
- 21:18Speaker 2: later in the year.
- 21:18Speaker 3: Maths on Channel nine stops the state in these days. Yeah,
- 21:21Speaker 3: we've seen how many people watch out more so than
- 21:24Speaker 3: the cup fantastic. I love our tech signers. I always
- 21:28Speaker 3: say morning gents. We employ our admin staff in the Philippines.
- 21:31Speaker 3: It's cheaper, we don't have to pay super and they
- 21:34Speaker 3: are harder working with the local people that they want
- 21:37Speaker 3: to work from home. Also, this means we don't have
- 21:39Speaker 3: to deal with unions who have made turning a business,
- 21:42Speaker 3: who have made running a business sorry more expensive. Australian
- 21:46Speaker 3: workers are much lasier when it comes to running business.
- 21:49Speaker 3: We need to have diligent and committed people. Cheers Paul
- 21:51Speaker 3: from Pennington. So he's personal experience helping there with the Philippines.
- 21:56Speaker 3: People coming from the Philippines to help his accounting.
- 21:58Speaker 2: This is off the back of the AC two a
- 22:00Speaker 2: CTU calling for five weeks and you're leave instead of four.
- 22:03Speaker 2: What do you think about that night? Ubra two to three,
- 22:05Speaker 2: double O, double O. Jeff from Salisbury's on the line.
- 22:07Speaker 7: Good morning, Jeff, Hey Gumbers, I just moved out in
- 22:10Speaker 7: the worst lakes actually over the last year. But yeah,
- 22:14Speaker 7: I had to man and better schooling for my kids
- 22:17Speaker 7: now fans out north. But anyway, this is just ridiculous.
- 22:21Speaker 7: I want I get four weeks as it is, I
- 22:23Speaker 7: get at audio every second week, plus all those holidays.
- 22:27Speaker 7: I want to do overtime to pay my mortgage off.
- 22:29Speaker 7: But the fact, but the fact is that this is
- 22:32Speaker 7: all part of the Labour's plan and the Union's plan
- 22:34Speaker 7: for the title of the Triangle of dependence. You know
- 22:37Speaker 7: what I mean. They basically crucify small business with what's
- 22:41Speaker 7: going on in Victoria, with just working from home rubbish.
- 22:44Speaker 7: Small businesses are going to collapse it you put another
- 22:46Speaker 7: week's holiday on top of a business already that well,
- 22:50Speaker 7: I owned a business years ago in the public industry
- 22:53Speaker 7: and you're paying three lots of taxes. Yeah, and then
- 22:58Speaker 7: you've got to pay what year's unity leave for young
- 23:01Speaker 7: women that went on to have families. I mean, where's
- 23:03Speaker 7: it in. I mean, this is the title of dependance.
- 23:06Speaker 7: You got to public servants at the top of it.
- 23:09Speaker 7: Everyone gets their job working for the government. For small
- 23:11Speaker 7: businesses collapse. Then you've got the people on welfare and
- 23:14Speaker 7: pensions that vote for them, and then you got to
- 23:17Speaker 7: industries that get their jobs from the building from the government.
- 23:20Speaker 7: You know, it's just everyone's depending on the government so
- 23:23Speaker 7: they get all their votes.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Interesting, good thoughts, Jeff, really passionate call morning, Barney from
- 23:28Speaker 3: Kidman Parkland.
- 23:30Speaker 15: Guys.
- 23:32Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just getting ridiculous.
- 23:33Speaker 15: I mean Adelaide Cup was has already been changed. They've
- 23:36Speaker 15: changed the date because of the wet weather. But in
- 23:39Speaker 15: that labor day or something in other states anyway.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Yeah, a good question.
- 23:43Speaker 3: We might check that.
- 23:44Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of different names.
- 23:46Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it's ridiculous. But I just think that
- 23:49Speaker 15: Australians are getting laidier and laidier and laid here. And
- 23:54Speaker 15: the more you get, the more you'll want, I guess.
- 23:57Speaker 15: And by work casually as you know, work out in
- 24:01Speaker 15: the road, and I just don't get work on public holidays,
- 24:05Speaker 15: then I want to work. Yeah, the less public holidays
- 24:09Speaker 15: for me, the better throw it. When you're full time,
- 24:12Speaker 15: you've got their security. But when you work casually it
- 24:15Speaker 15: actually did it hurts because you don't get paid.
- 24:18Speaker 3: Isn't that funny? Like Barnie and a great call mate
- 24:21Speaker 3: in a similar vein to Jeff, you know a recent
- 24:24Speaker 3: course something these unions, and you know they're supposed to
- 24:26Speaker 3: actually protect people like Barnie and Jeff, you know, who
- 24:29Speaker 3: want to work and want to be in that set
- 24:31Speaker 3: do Yet you know they're actually finding it's the opposite,
- 24:33Speaker 3: and they're too hard working blokes that want to make
- 24:36Speaker 3: a living and do well for themselves.
- 24:37Speaker 2: So you'd assume that the unions would what they are
- 24:41Speaker 2: trying to look after their workers. But at the same time,
- 24:43Speaker 2: it's going to be killing small business more than it's
- 24:45Speaker 2: going to kill a big congomlent who can afford massive payrolls.
- 24:50Speaker 3: But it's an extra week really changing working conditions that much,
- 24:54Speaker 3: is it? Do you think a week out of a
- 24:56Speaker 3: year like that's not changing work. I'd much rather go
- 24:59Speaker 3: into a posit working environment that's well managed, where you're
- 25:02Speaker 3: rewarded for your time, you know, and that you've got
- 25:05Speaker 3: a good culture around.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Maybe not all people are lucky enough to be able
- 25:08Speaker 2: to do that though.
- 25:09Speaker 3: But to me, an extra week it's like, yeah, great,
- 25:13Speaker 3: But you know, as bunning just so that they want
- 25:15Speaker 3: to work an extra week isn't necessarily the big go
- 25:18Speaker 3: lucky thumbs up that everyone's asking for.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Wow, I got what you saying yeah interesting made double
- 25:24Speaker 2: two three double oh double oh zero double four thirty
- 25:27Speaker 2: ninety five. Will continue your calls after the break coming
- 25:30Speaker 2: up though it was the five thirty years with Kate Collins.
- 25:33Speaker 2: When we'll be speaking sport with Tom Brenn after that.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Need met Henry and Sam Daddo five double a early breakfast.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Twenty two minutes to six eight double two three double
- 25:45Speaker 2: oh double. We'll get back to your calls very very shortly,
- 25:48Speaker 2: but for now the latest in sport with Tom Ran Morning, Raandy.
- 25:52Speaker 5: Morning, Sammy, Morning, ned boys.
- 25:55Speaker 16: We spoke about the season yesterday we gave our predictions,
- 25:58Speaker 16: but tonight we actually get our first game of the season,
- 26:00Speaker 16: so I cannot wait. It's going to be Sydney and
- 26:02Speaker 16: Carlton should be a great game. Charlie Kerno a bit
- 26:06Speaker 16: of a storyline there, Ned with him playing against his
- 26:08Speaker 16: whole club. A lot of people think he'll win a
- 26:10Speaker 16: Colma medal this year. He's a great player and sort
- 26:14Speaker 16: of continues that tradition, doesn't it a big power forward
- 26:17Speaker 16: staff forwards heading you know, to Sydney and becoming a
- 26:21Speaker 16: marquee player. I'll be really interested to see how it goes.
- 26:24Speaker 5: I think he'll do well.
- 26:25Speaker 3: He's like a big thoroughbread, isn't he Renny? And he's
- 26:28Speaker 3: just he looks happy. He looks like he's been out
- 26:30Speaker 3: on the farm now and he's just striding nicely, you
- 26:33Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like he's handsome and he's big
- 26:35Speaker 3: and powerful and the Sydney markets should suit him. So
- 26:38Speaker 3: it's going to be interesting. As we said yesterday, I mean,
- 26:40Speaker 3: Voss is under pressure, isn't it. Carlton really big time.
- 26:43Speaker 3: Carlton need to perform, and likewise Sidney will have some
- 26:45Speaker 3: expectation now with some really good players in Kerno, Hainey,
- 26:49Speaker 3: Golden Warner, you know, a lot of A graders. So
- 26:52Speaker 3: an exciting battle. What do you think of this opening round?
- 26:55Speaker 5: Jazz, I'm not really that sold on it.
- 26:58Speaker 16: It doesn't bother me too much that you know, we
- 27:01Speaker 16: don't have a game here in Adelaide, But it's kind
- 27:04Speaker 16: of seems a bit haphazard to me, doesn't it? Five
- 27:07Speaker 16: games this week? And so what does that eight teams
- 27:09Speaker 16: get to buy? It's a bit sort of half pregnant.
- 27:12Speaker 16: If they're going to do it, I think go all in.
- 27:14Speaker 16: I don't know, I just don't think it's a hugely successful.
- 27:18Speaker 5: I mean you compare it to something like gather Around.
- 27:19Speaker 5: It's not even close.
- 27:21Speaker 3: No, it's not, is it. What's it setting out to achieve?
- 27:24Speaker 3: And is it achieving it?
- 27:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not sure it is.
- 27:27Speaker 16: I think they're trying to eat into rugby league heartland,
- 27:30Speaker 16: but I'm not sure it's really making that many inroads
- 27:34Speaker 16: up there. They've had their Vegas thing. They're making a
- 27:37Speaker 16: lot of noise Peter Blandy's and the NRL and they're
- 27:40Speaker 16: probably doing it quite well. I think that's been quite
- 27:43Speaker 16: successful up there, but yeah, I'm not so sure it's
- 27:46Speaker 16: setting out with that.
- 27:47Speaker 5: When I achieved with the AFL here.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Why do you think the AFL is so insecure with
- 27:51Speaker 2: all this? How many times do we see fixture leaks
- 27:55Speaker 2: drop when a Matilda's game was playing here in Australia
- 27:58Speaker 2: Or they're trying to do this stuff up in Queensland.
- 28:01Speaker 2: But it started off when they're in Vegas. But they're
- 28:04Speaker 2: not in Vegas now and we're still trying to do it.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Why can't they just consolidate where there are, where they
- 28:10Speaker 2: are and build on it. They don't have to be
- 28:13Speaker 2: the I mean, it's the game that most of the
- 28:15Speaker 2: country watchers. But if it's not as popular in Queensland
- 28:18Speaker 2: and New South Wales. You want to know what will
- 28:19Speaker 2: make the game popular in New South Wales and Queensland
- 28:22Speaker 2: If the team's bloody win, Yeah, that's what will fill
- 28:25Speaker 2: the stadiums, not trying to do this half hazarded crap.
- 28:29Speaker 5: Which is which is what they're doing in Brisbane at
- 28:32Speaker 5: the moment.
- 28:32Speaker 16: Out they're winning and when Sydney win, they're exactly Those
- 28:35Speaker 16: fans are as fickle as anyone, so they just like
- 28:38Speaker 16: them winning, which is why they often get the big players.
- 28:41Speaker 16: So God, I hate Sydney. Yeah, as a place and
- 28:45Speaker 16: people and everything.
- 28:46Speaker 5: They're frustrating.
- 28:47Speaker 16: They're always so good and I think I reckon they're
- 28:50Speaker 16: the classic team of you saw their side the last
- 28:54Speaker 16: four or five rounds of the season.
- 28:55Speaker 5: They have their team back, they're a different team, but.
- 28:58Speaker 16: You're right, they're always just so good finals now three years,
- 29:01Speaker 16: including last.
- 29:02Speaker 5: Year out of Mattle, last twenty five.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Even the city, the city, I mean, they're all just wankers,
- 29:06Speaker 3: aren't They just wank shirts off?
- 29:09Speaker 5: And you know makes me sick.
- 29:11Speaker 2: What's going on in the NBA? Already?
- 29:13Speaker 5: Well we'll come, actually, we'll come back the other thing.
- 29:17Speaker 16: But NBL Southeast Melbourne Phoenix they won last night against
- 29:21Speaker 16: the Perth wild Cats. Now why is that important? Well,
- 29:24Speaker 16: it means the Oudelaide thirty six is know who they're
- 29:25Speaker 16: playing in the semi finals series now, so we will
- 29:28Speaker 16: be up against the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix game one Tuesday.
- 29:31Speaker 5: Night next week. I haven't meant too many games. I'm
- 29:35Speaker 5: going to go. Oh, I'm heading along, so I'll be there.
- 29:38Speaker 2: Boys.
- 29:38Speaker 16: I'll being paid or a little gifty maybe a gift.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Like you've gone and set out to make it a
- 29:47Speaker 3: big occasion. They're coming under the table cap continue.
- 29:50Speaker 5: So that'll be good. I'm really excited for that.
- 29:53Speaker 16: Overnight with the cricket, I think most Aussie fans, even
- 29:56Speaker 16: if they had any interest in the first place, lost
- 30:00Speaker 16: it when the Australians are knocked out. But overnight New
- 30:02Speaker 16: Zealand has absolutely thumped South Africa by nine wickets in
- 30:06Speaker 16: a semi final. So well done to New Zealand and
- 30:09Speaker 16: Finn Allen, who was the leading run scorer in the
- 30:11Speaker 16: BBL for the Perth Scorches. Great player, big tall, lump
- 30:15Speaker 16: of a lad. He scored one hundred overnight. He was
- 30:18Speaker 16: outstanding in fact, he might be the leading run scorer
- 30:20Speaker 16: for this tournament now, so great work from Finn Allen
- 30:23Speaker 16: and the New Zealand side.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I think more cricketing people would be more interested in
- 30:26Speaker 2: the Sheffield Sheie were getting underway. S Trav Haad Alex
- 30:28Speaker 2: Carey playing for South Australia is they take on New
- 30:30Speaker 2: South Wales at Karen Rowlt Noble ten thirty start this morning.
- 30:33Speaker 5: So massive game.
- 30:34Speaker 16: They're one point basically behind Queensland, two games to play.
- 30:37Speaker 16: You have to finish in the top two to make
- 30:39Speaker 16: the final. It's just the top two sides. Whoever wins
- 30:41Speaker 16: hosts that's Victoria that's locked in. So it's between Queensland
- 30:45Speaker 16: and South Australia probably now SA just had a brilliant
- 30:48Speaker 16: win against Queensland, but they have to win this game
- 30:52Speaker 16: and hope Queensland.
- 30:52Speaker 5: On to get a draw or get beaten.
- 30:55Speaker 16: But huge game, as you say, last time game for
- 30:57Speaker 16: the season at Karen Rolton because we've got ed Sheeran tonight.
- 31:00Speaker 16: So go the mighty South Australians with Trav head back.
- 31:03Speaker 2: I think I might wander down on Saturday.
- 31:05Speaker 16: Yeah, well I think he'll be opening, so hopefully you
- 31:07Speaker 16: get to see a little bit of him bat that'll
- 31:09Speaker 16: be exciting. The only other thing boys, and it's sprunt
- 31:12Speaker 16: page news today Dennis Committee one of the voices of football.
- 31:17Speaker 5: An amazing turn of phrase he had. Let's just have
- 31:21Speaker 5: a listen to a little.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Bit of his work.
- 31:23Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a frosted flips some money of the
- 31:25Speaker 5: vote in any study of in the world. So early
- 31:29Speaker 5: with Holy Calf with him turn to rip.
- 31:32Speaker 7: The dover.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Long friends, it's trip the doll.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Believable that mets up for Robin Brian a first quarter.
- 31:42Speaker 4: I didn't see anything like that.
- 31:44Speaker 5: It's kind of Brian DoLS primary doors too.
- 31:48Speaker 2: It's funny how commentary can take you back. I was
- 31:50Speaker 2: at that show down for the Montfreeze Balance and the
- 31:52Speaker 2: members stand down the southern end watching it go back
- 31:56Speaker 2: into the goal and you listen to Dennis there and
- 31:58Speaker 2: he just transports you back in time.
- 32:00Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 32:00Speaker 16: And what he was so good It does do that,
- 32:03Speaker 16: you're right, Sammy. And what he did do was he
- 32:06Speaker 16: was able to think on his feet very quickly. I
- 32:07Speaker 16: remember once he had three players starting with B and
- 32:11Speaker 16: he goes, they're going alphabetically, and then you had you
- 32:14Speaker 16: had to go back and listen to the names and
- 32:16Speaker 16: how does he do it?
- 32:17Speaker 5: And it's you know what it is. It's preparation.
- 32:19Speaker 16: It's like anything he prepares so meticulously and did. And
- 32:23Speaker 16: that's what makes I think Bruce who's still doing commentary
- 32:27Speaker 16: on racing the Racing Channel, that's what makes them so iconic.
- 32:31Speaker 16: It's just that preparation and that ability to think on
- 32:34Speaker 16: their feet. Is I mean, for a lot of people,
- 32:37Speaker 16: who'd be their favorite commentator of all time? Dennis Committee
- 32:39Speaker 16: and not just his AFL work beat at Olympics other events.
- 32:44Speaker 16: He was a good footballer on his own writer coach
- 32:46Speaker 16: as well, So Vallet Dennis Committee for me, top five
- 32:49Speaker 16: of all time in commentary was he was an absolute start.
- 32:53Speaker 2: It's funny with Dennis, I'm that little bit younger. So
- 32:56Speaker 2: when I was back in the day watching old highlights
- 32:58Speaker 2: of I'd like thirty six games because a few of
- 33:01Speaker 2: my coaches were the Bloats who played in the eighties. Yes,
- 33:04Speaker 2: and I was watching them all these years ago. That's
- 33:07Speaker 2: Dennis Committee commentating the NBL. Well couldn't he do? Yeah?
- 33:11Speaker 16: He was amazing, you know, just like I said, outstanding
- 33:16Speaker 16: and his partnership with Bruce Becovani who spoke beautifully about him,
- 33:20Speaker 16: was fabulous. So yeah, he'll be missed. Age seventy six
- 33:24Speaker 16: far too young. So an amazing legacy though that he leaves.
- 33:27Speaker 16: And you know, I think he he had that ability
- 33:30Speaker 16: to take the ego out of the call as well,
- 33:31Speaker 16: which I think unfortunately you see with some commentators there's
- 33:34Speaker 16: a lot of ego.
- 33:37Speaker 5: No he's got He had none of that.
- 33:39Speaker 16: So that makes him, in the words of Bruce, very
- 33:43Speaker 16: special and someone who will be remembered with great fondness.
- 33:45Speaker 2: He's a bit of Eddie maguire talking about Dennis on
- 33:47Speaker 2: three W yesterday.
- 33:48Speaker 17: He was a brilliant core. He was a wonderful man
- 33:51Speaker 17: to work with. He was generous, he had a generosity
- 33:54Speaker 17: of spirit. He was so well prepared. He lifted again,
- 33:58Speaker 17: he made great moments even well. Remember Dennis for not
- 34:01Speaker 17: only his one liners and his committee isn't but also
- 34:05Speaker 17: the way he was able to just take sport to
- 34:07Speaker 17: a higher level.
- 34:07Speaker 2: The great Lee Matthews also joined Rowie and Tampo yesterday.
- 34:11Speaker 14: I guess he was born with a fantastic voice, wasn't
- 34:13Speaker 14: he that? The lovely gulph of tones? And he mainly
- 34:17Speaker 14: watched the game on the monitor and called off the monitor.
- 34:19Speaker 14: It seemed to be on his monitor. They've been all
- 34:21Speaker 14: these posted notes of little little things that obviously thought
- 34:25Speaker 14: I might I might go to that if necessary in
- 34:27Speaker 14: the court, just.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Quickly, or Annie, you do a bit of calling. What
- 34:30Speaker 2: is the toughest thing you find calling an AFL game?
- 34:34Speaker 2: Is it the prep? Is it the learning of the names?
- 34:36Speaker 2: Is it being at the ground looking at calling through binoculars?
- 34:40Speaker 2: What's what's the hardest thing you find?
- 34:42Speaker 16: Yeah, it's all of that, and then sometimes just the
- 34:45Speaker 16: speed of the game. It's so fast and making sure
- 34:48Speaker 16: you've done the prep. He calls a lot through the monitor,
- 34:50Speaker 16: or did, and some commentators to that. I call through
- 34:53Speaker 16: the monocuters, but then you've got the screen. As you
- 34:56Speaker 16: back up, I find it's like a second or two behind, though,
- 34:59Speaker 16: So I'll like the binoculars being able to see the
- 35:02Speaker 16: play or perhaps look ahead of the play. But the
- 35:05Speaker 16: game is so fast, so just keeping up with it,
- 35:08Speaker 16: and you know, but it's great, It's it's such a
- 35:12Speaker 16: dynamic games.
- 35:13Speaker 5: You know need you've played it.
- 35:14Speaker 16: But I can't believe it's hard to keep up, let
- 35:16Speaker 16: alone play. I mean, you guys are the stars out
- 35:19Speaker 16: in the ground. You just hope that you can do
- 35:22Speaker 16: something like Dennis does and enhance the product for those
- 35:26Speaker 16: listening or watching.
- 35:27Speaker 5: But yeah, the game is brutally quick.
- 35:31Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's a real craft. If you've got any
- 35:34Speaker 3: Dennis Committee reflections faces would love your calls eight double
- 35:37Speaker 3: two three double o double oh you know the number,
- 35:39Speaker 3: any any kind of trademark calls that come to mind.
- 35:42Speaker 5: And he sent me to perfect that's the one.
- 35:44Speaker 3: I think Forest and River and he says it's like
- 35:47Speaker 3: a nad geo documentary with the Melbourne thing.
- 35:50Speaker 5: Is there was one that you cork in the ocean?
- 35:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he was cooler than the underside of the pillow.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, that.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Thing that was?
- 36:00Speaker 16: That was I mean to think of that in that moment.
- 36:04Speaker 16: You know, when else are you got to be able
- 36:05Speaker 16: to use a line.
- 36:06Speaker 3: Like that is brilliant?
- 36:07Speaker 16: That was an important revolt. Who's you know, one of
- 36:11Speaker 16: the great modern day forwards. You know, probably the moment
- 36:14Speaker 16: he'd like to have back. But heath Shaw just just
- 36:16Speaker 16: lunged from nowhere, didn't he. That was the replay Grand Final,
- 36:19Speaker 16: I think, wasn't it in twenty ten? Yeah, I think
- 36:20Speaker 16: you're right at that moment, So Yeah, that was that
- 36:22Speaker 16: was a pretty good one.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Thank you, Tommy. Good on you boys, talked to you

- 37:25Speaker 5: Who else? I really like Sandy Roberts.
- 37:27Speaker 2: There is a pig on the ground.
- 37:29Speaker 3: I like Matt Hill now, actually really like Matt Hill,
- 37:32Speaker 3: even with his calling a footy obviously traditionally he's done
- 37:35Speaker 3: his horse racing coin. Now, can I just completely hijack
- 37:38Speaker 3: the program and just talk about something that's happening to
- 37:40Speaker 3: me lately? Sure, I'm having a reoccurring dream.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Oh no, Now.
- 37:44Speaker 3: I apologize because I'm completely throwing the content of the
- 37:46Speaker 3: show off track. But I keep having a dream once
- 37:49Speaker 3: a week or twice a week that I've got a
- 37:51Speaker 3: sheep in the bed and it's like a pet sheep.
- 37:53Speaker 2: You really love sheep? No, are you from New Zealand.
- 37:56Speaker 3: This is not a joke. This is not some way
- 37:58Speaker 3: of being humorous. I honestly have this dream all the time,
- 38:02Speaker 3: and it's the sheep's in the bed and it will
- 38:04Speaker 3: cuddle up with me and then it'll like put its
- 38:06Speaker 3: head there and it will pull everywhere in the bed. So,
- 38:09Speaker 3: do you have any reoccurring dreams that are weird? Because
- 38:11Speaker 3: I have one.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Reoccurring dreams is a very interesting topic to have. Well,
- 38:16Speaker 2: we've got two minutes left. I don't know if we
- 38:18Speaker 2: can get anyone on the line about reoccurring dreams.
- 38:20Speaker 3: I had to I had to get that off my chest.
- 38:22Speaker 3: As I said that, he's not a joke.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Maybe the now that you got it off your chest,
- 38:26Speaker 2: you put it out there under the ether, maybe the
- 38:29Speaker 2: dream will go away.
- 38:29Speaker 3: What's happening lately? It's not as if I'm a thirteen
- 38:31Speaker 3: year old like it's I'm an adult with issues with
- 38:34Speaker 3: tax and a mortgage. Matt from Pasadena, Good morning morning boys.
- 38:39Speaker 13: Well, committee saw what a brilliant cooler record. There was
- 38:45Speaker 13: a couple of his classics that are remember the old
- 38:50Speaker 13: I think he's.
- 38:50Speaker 7: Sure to re sure.
- 38:52Speaker 14: Now I'm unsure.
- 38:55Speaker 13: In a frantic sort of defensive moah, yeah, out of it,
- 39:00Speaker 13: out of backbite, but just with so much bloody poise.
- 39:03Speaker 13: But the one don't really like that. I know you
- 39:05Speaker 13: boys might remember if Darren Gasper was a Richmond player,
- 39:09Speaker 13: big big name at the time, moved to Sydney on
- 39:11Speaker 13: a huge steel and Sidney were playing Richmond.
- 39:15Speaker 5: Sidney was sort of were.
- 39:16Speaker 13: A goal up and Gasper had a shot on goal
- 39:20Speaker 13: late in the game.
- 39:21Speaker 7: He hit the post, which gave it.
- 39:24Speaker 13: Gave Sydney in a bit of breathing space and Committee said,
- 39:29Speaker 13: Darren Gasper, we could hit the post. Gasper, the friendly post.
- 39:35Speaker 5: That's clever.
- 39:36Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what Brittany said about, like how does he
- 39:38Speaker 3: come up with those sayings in the moment, because like
- 39:41Speaker 3: the unique guy, like you can't pre plan that to
- 39:43Speaker 3: an extent.
- 39:44Speaker 7: I think, yeah, I mean you can.
- 39:45Speaker 13: You can obviously plan commentating. There's there's forty folks out
- 39:50Speaker 13: there and you get whatever whatever his stats or his
- 39:54Speaker 13: coffy that you're going to have on your mind.
- 39:56Speaker 2: But just give me out.
- 39:57Speaker 13: The quickness and the width and just the timing I
- 40:00Speaker 13: think for him.
- 40:01Speaker 3: But it's brilliant, Maddie you Rippa, as was Dennis Committee.
- 40:08Speaker 3: A great reflection there a couple of beauties.
- 40:09Speaker 2: And that's the thing is Rennie was talking about it
- 40:12Speaker 2: just wasn't football. This is the four by one hundred gold.

- 40:40Speaker 2: Nothing he couldn't do.
- 40:41Speaker 3: Now you can't fake that he any of the passion
- 40:43Speaker 3: for the sport. It's like the stories about Bruce. I
- 40:46Speaker 3: hear players catch up with him on a plane and
- 40:48Speaker 3: and he's got these big files, you know, stacked as
- 40:52Speaker 3: high as your old hand written, handwritten notes on all
- 40:55Speaker 3: these players, and he'll remember your name. Nathan Vanbella tells
- 40:58Speaker 3: a great story. He said he saw him on the
- 41:00Speaker 3: and he comes over this Nathan, how are you? And
- 41:02Speaker 3: how's your mother? Jane? And VV went, oh my goodness,
- 41:06Speaker 3: just a class act. So both of them a great
