• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Currently in the city, it is 19.1 degrees. So we're
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a bit warmer this morning than we were a bit...
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: this time last week, but it's going to be a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: bit of a mild, wet and dreary couple of days
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: across Adelaide. Jump on the phones or the text line

  Speaker 2: started once again. Good morning, Ned and Sam. I hope
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you and all the high-fivers had a great weekend. Looking

• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Sammy, good morning to you. A few technical difficulties for
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: me this morning. I'm just looking.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So am I. My headphones don't work.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Isn't that funny? Yeah, Monday, just getting back into the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: swing of things. How are you, and how was your weekend?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I had a good weekend. I spent the last couple
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of days over in Moonta. I had a wedding. Interesting, though.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: On the dance floor, Saturday night. I had a couple
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of lovely ladies come up to me. Jane and Enza.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Massive high-fivers. Big early Brekkie fans.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Are they?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Haven't called into the program, haven't texted in, so I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: was trying to work on them to try and get
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: them to be contributors to the program, but at the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: very least, Jane and Enza, high-fivers. Good to meet you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: on the weekend.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Jane and Enza.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Wonderful people by the sounds of things. So they're from
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Moonta Bay, are they?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I think they're from Adelaide, and we all travelled over
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to Moonta for the wedding. I'm not entirely sure. A
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: couple of beers were had. Trying to remember everything that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: took place is a bit sketchy, but that's what I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: do remember. It was a good weekend over in Moosa.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Did you meet them on the dance floor?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: They came up to me and said, are you the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Sam Datto from the radio? And I thought, oh, God.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: That's massive, mate.
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Congratulations.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Bit of fame. Don't let anything change from here. Keep
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: that head a similar size. Well, Jane and Enza, if
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: you're listening, it's quite early in the morning, so good
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: morning to you. And give us a bit of a
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: report as to how Sam behaved at the wedding. Did
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: he behave?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I did tell them, whatever you see tonight stays here tonight.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: 8223 0000.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about weddings off the back of that. Now,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: we haven't spoken about your wedding or what happened. What
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: was something different you did about your wedding? Now, has
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: anyone done a different wedding? Now, Rory Laird? He had a, what.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Is it, eloped?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Did he go to Vegas for it?
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: No, he went to New Zealand. He eloped, Sammy. One
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: thing I will not do is get a humongous wedding cake.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: There was no wedding cake at the wedding.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Well done. Because the more I see of these huge
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: wedding cakes that no one eats, it's just a waste.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Another thing on weddings, is it still customary for the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: wife to change their last name?
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Okay. Okay.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000. It was occurring on the weekend, but I've
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: got another couple of mates who have gotten married over
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the last six, 12 months. Haven't changed the names.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering if changing of the name is a bit
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: old school now, old fashioned. I wonder if people are
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: still doing it or have you got any thoughts on it? Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: But you can always hyphen, can't you?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yes. But then it gets a bit tricky when the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: kids come along and the kids then have kids or
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: get married.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: How many hyphens can we really rock with?
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: We're double hyphening. Weddings. I'm not sure how this has happened,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: but I like where it's heading. We're going to chat
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it through. 8223 0000, tell us about your wedding. What
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: did you do and what do you think works in
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: a wedding? Now, I've had a bit of a crack
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: at the large cake. You're talking about hyphenated or sharing
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: last names, which I find interesting too. Did you elope?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Did you not elope? Do you look back fondly on
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: your wedding? Did you invite 100 people, and how many
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: of them are you still friends with?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Seriously.
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: Seriously.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: That was a good thing on the weekend. It was
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a nice, quiet one. I think it was about 40
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: or 50 people were there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: That's nice.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Nice little intimate farm setting we were on. So it
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: was very enjoyable.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: That's beautiful.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It didn't feel massive. It just felt nice.
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Weddings.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I'd like to talk about that. Sammy, now, off the
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: back of some wedding chat, this will be a smooth segue.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Is it ever a smooth segue when you say this
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: is a segue?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it is. It's a segue and not the
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: ones with two wheels that you ride on down the street. Sammy,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: I became a godfather over the weekend.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It took place.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, it did. Riley O'Brien, congratulations. His partner, Chloe, they
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: had a child. That means I'm a godfather.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Have you worked out what it entails yet?
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: No. Look at me. Look how more kind of formal
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and how, you know, put together I am.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: It's still in thongs. At least you've got some footwear.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I know, but if something happens, that child is my responsibility. Now,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: what I didn't share with the High Fivers, and you actually,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: which this was a huge secret, is not only did
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I become a godfather over the weekend, I actually became
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: a dad.
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Which is, yeah, probably one of the more special things
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: that ever happens, so... A new Kelpie puppy, which has
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: come home. Crate training has begun.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I guess I saw Zali a month or two ago.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: She didn't look like she was expecting.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: No, just a Kelpie puppy we have received at eight weeks.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: It is in strict training.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Roxy. Roxy.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Roxy has entered the fall. Rex has Roxy. Yeah, so
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Rex and Roxy and Zali. some kind of one or
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: two syllable names there. Shouldn't need to remember those. Rex,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: that's one syllable. Roxy, two syllables. Zali, two syllables. I
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: said one or two.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Carry on.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Welcome to our little four-legged friend, Roxy. And I think
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: she'd get along with Mandy and those Blue Brothers very nicely.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So what is the first couple of days been like? Trained,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: not trained, struggling?
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Well, she came on the first day. I picked her
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: up from our neighbour's farm, which was excellent. Grabbed her.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: She looked as if she had some instinct around the yard,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: so I was hopeful that, you know, training her to
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: work with livestock would be easier than perhaps other dogs.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: She got home. She was just soft as butter, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: just no kind of personality whatsoever. She was tired, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I thought, what the hell's wrong with this thing? Anyway,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: she was adapting to her surroundings. She was a bit
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: nervous about the new environment. By day two, oh, my goodness,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: she's destroyed the whole house. She's barking. She's waking everyone up.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: She's biting. She's harassing other dogs. So she is well
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: and truly into it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Have you had a puppy recently?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: No, I have not. But have you, any of the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: high-fivers out there, got any doggo training tips for Ned? Okay.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: We're talking weddings and puppies, please. I fear this caller
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: might stray to cricket, but we welcome that just as much. Hello,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: John from Port Augusta.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Hi, boys.
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: How are you?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a boy.
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know what to say about the cricket,
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: to be honest.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I'm fluxed. Didn't that suck, Johnny Boy?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I said fluxed. I'm in a flux.
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: I don't know what to say. But anyway, I'm thinking
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: about getting Tex Walker's autobiography.
• 7:29
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: I'm thinking about getting it next week when it comes
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: out on the 10th. I do believe it's the bookstores
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: and all the rest of it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 12: Do you have a preview in there at all?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: Have you had a forerunner?
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: You know, XT made his and all the rest of it? Yeah.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I actually think... Look, I love bagging Tex Walker
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: as much as the next bloke. He's one of my really,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: really good mates. Spent a lot of time with him.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: His footy story is actually very interesting, isn't it? I mean,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: some people... Do the whole biography. I don't want to
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: be rude. Trent Cotchen, I mean, he won three grand finals,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: but boring footy story.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Boring footy story.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Private school kid, was a part of all the talent pathways,
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: gun human, gun bloke, gun captain. I get it all,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: but there's not a lot to kind of learn about.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Whereas Tex, he's been through a lot, hasn't he, a
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Broken Hill boy?
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: The Bogan from Bogan Hill. Yeah, it could be interesting.
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: I wonder if it's going to be our Port-A-Lake supporters
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: or the book or any of these rivalry with Port-A-Lake
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: because we know.
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: That was a little bit legendary, all.
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: The rest of it. Another book, you might say I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: a bit of a book reader and I'm most Port supporters.
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: I'm going to grab this book, Clyde's book, actually. I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: going to grab that as well.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that could be interesting. But I'm a fan of Woodsman, actually.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: He's done well.
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: I mean, I know he's done this over on Cup
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: of Tea. But a young Muslim lady coming from Pakistan,
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: making good. Who's going to knock that, really?
• 8:56
  Speaker 12: If you're not an idiot, if you're not an idiot, you'll.
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: Acknowledge the story. It's great wherever they come from. We're
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: a multicultural society. I mean, fine, I'm from Ireland. Fifth
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: generation child Australian, but probably should be anybody from Ireland
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: and all the rest of it. Yeah, it's, um, we
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: are multicultural, so we've got to embrace these people. I mean,
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: they're like, um, yeah, just support and all, so, um.
• 9:21
  Speaker 12: Here go the power.
• 9:22
  Speaker 13: Thanks, fellas.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Thank you, John.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Well done, Johnny. We'll be talking a bit more cricket
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: with Tommy right after half past five, the text line. Tom,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not married, but my partner won't change her name,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and that's totally fine with me. It's been 11 years.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: She just said the admin, I'm changing everything. It would
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: be too difficult. Tom, Mark from Harrah Hills as well. Morning, Rex.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And why am I disco duck now? Why are you
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a disco duck? Oh, the cricket.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Didn't that suck? Oh, because you were at the disco.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: You were dancing at the wedding, perhaps.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Go, Marnus, go. Time's up. And Mark also added, start
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: training your dog now. Kelpie's a good, smart dog. Yeah, well,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: thanks for that, Mark. I mean, seriously, did you think
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't start training it now?
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Morning.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Chris. How are you?
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: Good, good. Ned, why don't you get a decent dog?
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I could put you under a good board of collie trainer.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Chris, what do you mean, mate?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: That sounds like fighting words.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with a Kelpie? I've got a Border Collie
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Cross Kelpie who works with livestock and he's a gun,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: but I've got this nice, well-bred Kelpie for sheep work, Chris.
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: I've got... I had four of them. Last one passed
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: away about two months ago. I got them from Honeyvale Kennels.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Aren't they just beautiful dogs, the Border Collies?
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah. They all are, as long as they're trained right. Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: and you let them have their head for a while
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: and it just was sorted out from there. But no,
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: they are a good benefit to the person.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: They just have to be stimulated, don't they, Chris?
• 10:49
  Speaker 13: Yes, yes.
• 10:50
  Speaker 12: They're stimulated and watched sometimes.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Hey, Chris.
• 10:55
  Speaker 12: Yeah?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Do you get married?
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: That's a sore point.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, sorry, Chris. Do you not want to talk about it?
• 11:04
  Speaker 12: That's all right, yeah.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: It's fine if you don't.
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: No, between a couple of her girlfriends and herself, they
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: decided I wasn't the right person after many years and
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: two children. And they backed up and took just about
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: everything out of the house.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, Chris, I'm sorry to hear that, mate.
• 11:22
  Speaker 12: Oh, no, for the best thing, yeah, I'm quite happy. Yeah. I,
• 11:26
  Speaker 12: you know, a bit of a rough part around the place.
• 11:30
  Speaker 12: I won't go into the total bit of it, but.
• 11:35
  Speaker 12: Shall we say, a couple of her friends, news and
• 11:40
  Speaker 12: people in the establishment, and they ended up coming around
• 11:45
  Speaker 12: here and sort of threatening me. But that was all
• 11:50
  Speaker 12: taken care of. I got a hold of their boss
• 11:52
  Speaker 12: and had a few words to him.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Sounds like you sorted it out. Well, yeah, sorry, Chris,
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: perhaps that was a private question. We were just talking
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: about weddings, and I was wondering what everyone was kind of,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: thinking about all of those and how they're different now
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: compared to what perhaps they once were. But thanks so
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: much for your vulnerability, Chris, and sharing that. You didn't
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: have to answer my question.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Pete on the text line, we love the bush, so
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: got married at Rawnsley Park in the Flinders Ranges. Ceremony
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: was at the Arkabar Creek bed. About 20 people there.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Peter from Oldgate, thank you for that, Peter.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Jeez, Peter, that sounds like a pretty cool ceremony there, mate.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Also, Rob in Clearview, so Halloween is done. When do
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: you start saying Merry Christmas? Well, it hit me yesterday.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: On the way home from Moonser, I called into Woolworths
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: at Port Adelaide to do some shopping on the way home.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: As soon as I walked into the Port Plaza shopping centre,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Christmas carols were playing and Christmas decorations were everywhere.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Seriously, November.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: 1st of November, I thought, what is going on? So
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: is it okay now for everyone to be putting Christmas
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: decorations up? I still would have thought it's too soon,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: but I reckon if you're going to head along to
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the shops in the next week or so, prepare yourself.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: You're going to be hearing a lot of Christmas carols.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, do you have any rules in your
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: house or did you have any weird rules in your
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: house that were staples growing up that just now kind
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: of seem strange or didn't make any sense?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Not that I can think of. We were pretty relaxed
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: growing up.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Went to use a towel the other day. This is
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: with my wonderful girlfriend.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes. Who I love. Now, I love her.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Went to use a towel the other day. She goes, no, no, no, no, no.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I said, what?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: What's the problem?
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: She goes, that towel is for visitors.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, we didn't have that. Is it a better towel?
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I said, I beg your pardon? What do you mean
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: that towel's for visitors? She goes, that's a nice towel.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: That one's for visitors. I said, you've got to be
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: pulling my leg. So does anyone have any weird house
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: rules like that, that, you know, a specific towel is
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: for visitors or are they not allowed in a room
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: with shoes or something like that? Any specific house rules?
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: You haven't heard of that? I have never heard of that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I would have thought you'd give the visitors the.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the nice towers yourself, surely. Or do they cycle
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: down after you've had visitors over for a few times
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and that tower isn't so nice, it comes into your
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: rotation and you buy new towers for visitors?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: That's a nice kind of... It's like a self-replacing herd
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: when you have ewes or breed of cows. Sammy, that's clever.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: What about.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Does anyone have like a chair that only one person's
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: allowed to sit on?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Dad's got a chair at home.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Like a chair.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Does anyone got a chair?
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Or does the dishwasher need to be stacked a certain
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: way or a certain mug for a certain person? What's
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: your weird household rule that's developed in your home?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You'll love this. Growing up at home, mum and dad
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: got a brand new cutlery set one time and there
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: was one fork left from the old cutlery set and
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I liked it that much that they still have it
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to this day and it's my fork when I come over.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: No one else is to use my fork.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: What?
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Mum and Dad have just kept it up since I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: moved out, so I go along with it too. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: just didn't like the new forks they got. It didn't
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: feel as nice. So Sam has his own fork at home.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: See, that's hilarious. That's a strange household.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Marge at Hampstead Gardens.
• 15:00
  Speaker 14: Morning.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, hi.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: I don't have any rules. I just make my own
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: up because I live on my own.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: I can do as I like.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, I like that, Marge. You go with your own flow.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Free spirit.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: And if people come and they don't like the rules,
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: they can leave.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: They can get stuffed, can't they?
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, get stuffed.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like it. How's your weekend, Marge?
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, pretty good.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: All right. Anything eventful happen? Come on, report on something, please.
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: Oh, not much.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: I've just done some gardening, but it rains, so I'll
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: come back inside and watch movies.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, what movies?
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Oh, just the world movies.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. Well, good job, Marge.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: See you, Marge, you ledge.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to get to a break. 19 after 5.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000. Training dogs, getting married, what was your wedding like?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Do you still change your last names? Plenty to talk
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: about this morning. 044808 1395 or get to it. 8223 0000.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast. 23 after five,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Tom Wren coming up very shortly. A couple of texts
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: coming through. Best wedding I went to was in England
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: on an old estate. We ate fish and chips from
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a van. Then Mr. Whippy turned up for the dessert.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Young ones had their disco in one building. The oldies
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: had a jazz band in another building. Also had a
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: bouncy castle. That's from Grant. Oscar, hey, Sam and Ned. Sam,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I have the same rule as you. I have a
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: favourite fork and spoon. No one else is allowed to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: use it. I thought I was alone in doing that. Oscar.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Oscar.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, any strange household rules that either you have or
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: that you know of, we'd love to hear them. We're
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: also talking about weddings. Any funny wedding stories? What do
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: you think works at a wedding and what doesn't? That's
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: off the back of Sam's extravaganza in Moota Bay over
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: the weekend. Here's a familiar face. Hello, Julie from Tea
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Tree Gully.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Good morning, boys.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: I hope you had a good weekend.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I have four daughters.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Four weddings.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Four weddings. That sounds expensive.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Does that mean your family's up for it? Is that
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: how it works, Julie?
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: What do you mean?
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Julie, is it old kind of folklore or is it
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: true that the bride's dad, he contributes to the wedding,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: doesn't he? Or is that not right?
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Julie, hang on there, Julie.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Your line sounds like a sweet potato.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You've got a terrible line. Give us a buzz back
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: real quick. Hopefully that line clears up and we'll get
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: straight back to you. We want to hear about your
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: four daughters and four weddings before Julie calls back. Did
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: you have any preconceived ideas about Anthony LaPaglia?
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: No.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Do you know who Anthony LaPaglia is? Negative. Actor, grew
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: up in Adelaide.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen this in the news.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: This is on the advertiser.
• 17:49
  Speaker 13: Anthony LaPaglia has launched an astonishing attack on his hometown
• 17:53
  Speaker 13: of Adelaide in his new memoir, labelling the city dreary,
• 17:57
  Speaker 13: stifled and plagued by bad energy. In his new book,
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: The Life We Choose, LaPaglia doesn't even get past the
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: first page before he starts condemning the SA capital.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: He writes.
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: There's a bad energy running through it. Whenever I go back,
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: I feel the same low-frequency unease that used to spook
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: me as a kid.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Anthony LaPaglia. Adelaide spooked him as a kid.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: I don't think he was in a good mood, by
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: the sounds of things, when he started the book.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: He's only been here recently performing on stage once again
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: in a play.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I hope he got a bit happier when he started
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: finishing the book. I mean, seriously, what a flog. Sammy,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: this is also the problem about this state in a
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: way is that when, and look, Anthony's got extensive history
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: in South Australia, so he would know about this state
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: and know about the city. But when, for example, other
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: teams come to this city to come and play, and
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about AFL because I have personal experience in
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: that space, they'll stay in the metropolitan area of the
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: city in a city hotel where they'll walk around, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: respectfully to the city, I don't really like it. And
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I think some of the streets aren't necessarily inspiring. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: that's what they think Adelaide is. And they'll compare it
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: to Sydney or Melbourne, you know, looking over the harbour
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: of Sydney or, you know, the arts and the laneways
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: of Melbourne. And that's not us. That's not us. But
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: the minute you get in the car and you head
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: down to the McLaren Vale or check out some of
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: the coastline and the beaches, you go, oh, my goodness,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: I get it. You know, I'm 30 minutes away from
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: the city. I get it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: Yep.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: And that's the tricky thing about this state. You need
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: to do a few kilometres and you need to spend
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: a bit of time to really understand the vibe of
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: the place. Your thoughts on that?
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more. Could not agree more. Obviously, as
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: you said, Sydney's got the picturesque landscapes of the harbour
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and the bridge. But as you said, when my... than
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: just the metropolitan area, the square mile here in the CBD.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And that's what makes us stronger over everyone else. You're
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: going to be travelling hours in Sydney to get anywhere.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It's remotely possible that you can just jump on a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: freeway either side of town and go barosset. Victor, Odinga Beach.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: But I wonder if this clown, has this clown even
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: gone and revisited some of those areas?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Or has he just stayed in the city and compared
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: it to some of the American cities?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Just trying to sell books.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Well, it's upsetting. If you were to bag Adelaide, what
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: would you say?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: What's the worst thing about Adelaide? I'd love to know
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the Premier's thoughts on that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: He'll come back with a strong pre-prepared speech on that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Let's try Julie and Tea Tree Gully again. Julie, is
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: your line better?
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: How are we going now, boys?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, much better.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, Julie, that sounds fabulous.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay, then.
• 20:34
  Speaker 12: That's good.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: I'll keep with this one arm in the air, then.
• 20:36
  Speaker 12: So, Anthony LaPaglia.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: He never looks happy anyway.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: No, he doesn't.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, what a grumpy bloke. I mean, Adelaide's beautiful.
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: I mean, I've been quite a few places around the world,
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: and Adelaide's lovely.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: What does Graham Corn say, Julie?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: God's country? No, that's Millicent, isn't it?
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: He says there's nicer places to go, but there's nowhere
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: in the world nicer to come home to.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, love the stuff.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: Yes, but for weddings, it was, yes, we, no, both
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: families put in for the weddings, but the last wedding
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: we had, my youngest, we had a surprise, and we
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: get to invite everyone home. and wanted to because it
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: wasn't a sit-down dinner, and everybody thought they were coming
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: to the engagement, and we announced that it was their wedding,
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: and it was fantastic.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: But the other three were great as well. One at
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the fabulous Teak Creek Alley Golf Club.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: That was the place to be.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: Good old Tom's Hunting Ground there.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: So that was really good.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Did all four change their name, Julie?
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Did all four change?
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: They all changed their name.
• 21:59
  Speaker 12: Okay. Yep, absolutely. Yes, yes, they did.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Nice work, Julie.
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: And I haven't got anything at home here because I
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: live on my own, so it's very nice. I can
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: sit in my own chair and I can do my own.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Thing, which is great.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: You make up your own rules and follow your own rules.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: I like it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they might not be good rules, but they're pretty good.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: It's pretty funny.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Bye, Julie.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Bye, Julie. Have a great week.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Meredith.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Hello, Meredith.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Hello, Ned. How are you? Very good.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm kicking along.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: How's the auction going for your house?
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, Meredith.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: The house is not sold yet, but there's been some
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: strong interest. And I'm finding that all of the newspaper
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: reports on higher interest rates and house prices slumming has
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: really helped Meredith.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: That's good. You'll be a millionaire before you know it.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Not sure about that. Hey, how was your weekend? What's
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: cracking with you?
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, very, very quiet, you know. Now, weddings. I would
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: have been married 51 years if my hubby was alive.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: But he's been gone 15 years this December.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: And I miss him greatly. But when I married him
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: in 1976... I had an unusual wedding.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Do tell, Meredith.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: What did you do, Meredith?
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: Well, everyone reckons I galloped up the aisle to them
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: and couldn't wait to get to them. I don't remember galloping,
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: but everyone said I did. There's only about 30 of
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: us there, mostly the people I worked with and a
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: few more relatives. On my hubby's side are older people.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: because that was not to worry. That wedding went off
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: quite well until it came to the reception, and that
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: went off quite well. Now it's time to say goodbye,
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: because I had a big operation end of January in 76,
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: and we couldn't afford to go away one week. because
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: I had to be near my surgeon to keep an
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: eye on my eye because I had eye surgery. Anyway,
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: we're going home. If you know Glenelg properly, you know
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: the Broadway, the used to be a reception post called
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Alden Manor.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, yep.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: It's not there anymore now, unfortunately. But anyway, we're going
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: away from there. We're going up to our flat, which
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: is up the Anzac Highway. I won't say how far up,
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: but far enough. And we're going in the back street
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: away from the reception. We got married at 7 o'clock
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: at night. And we're going home, and I said to
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: my hubby, I said, hey, there's somebody following us. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: he said, no, no, no, no. And I said, I
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: reckon there is. And I looked around, and a blue
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: light was flashing behind us.
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: And I thought, oh, well, what have we done? And
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: I said, what have you done? He said, I've done
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: nothing wrong. I'm going home to spend my night with you.
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: And I said, well, that's my thing. Anyway, long story short,
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: they came live with us. I mentioned my hubby's name.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: I won't say his name. But they said, are you?
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: And he said, yeah. And he said, can you pull over?
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: And he didn't want to, but he did. And I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: sitting in the car. They made him get out of
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: the car. Can you blow in this bag, sir?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: And he said, well, I haven't done anything wrong. I've
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: only had a couple of drinks. He refused it. And
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: that didn't go down well.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: And they said, you're coming with us. And he said,
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: I only got married earlier tonight. I'm going home with
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: my new wife, like this. And I'm sitting, because I've
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: never driven a car in my life. Anyway, and I thought,
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: what am I going to do? Sit in the car.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: This is about 11 o'clock at night.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: You've just been married, Meredith, and he's about to be
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: taken to the slammer, the clink.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: I'll get to that. Anyway, so they said he finally
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: got him to get in the back of the car
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: because of the two-door charger. So he couldn't get out
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: of the car. And I said, well, how am I
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: going to get home? I'll send another car to take
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: you home. So they drove our car home. No, hang on.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: I'll start again. They took me down to find the
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: best man where he worked.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: His car was there, but nobody could find him. And
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: I thought, oh, God. I knew where his sister lived,
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: so we went down Brighton. It's all in darkness. And
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: I said, oh, God, you might as well drive me home.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: So I said, just bring the car and drive me home.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: And this woman behind us, she was drunk as a skunk,
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: and she kept banging me. What have you done with
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: your humpy? And I said, oh, I decided to go
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: out for a while tonight. I didn't want to stay home.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: I want to go and keep my heels up. So anyway,
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: she said, oh, okay. So she dropped me home and I...
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: I opened the front door and I said, welcome to
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: married life. And I walked in my place by myself.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, Meredith.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Meredith, that was an entertaining story. My goodness, lots going
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: on there. Thanks for your recollection. We've just got another
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: couple of calls we've got to potter on with too. But, Meredith,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: thank you for that. That was wonderful. Jeanette at Burden Park.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Hello, Jeanette.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Good morning. I'm ringing up to let you know that
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I went to a beautiful wedding at... the Adelaide Zoo.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good idea. Would they get animals involved, Jeanette?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Well, the funny thing was is when the couple had
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: their ceremony and it was in the big rotunda underneath.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: You know the big rotunda where you can go? Yeah,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: it was under there. And after they said, I do,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: The baboons went mental.
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: All the animals, all the animals.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not joking. All the animals went crazy. And
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the good thing about it is it was at nighttime.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: It was a VIP wedding. And after the ceremony, they
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: needed to do the photos. So we got VIP access
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: in the Adelaide Zoo. where we could go anywhere we
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: wanted and just check out the place for two hours
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: while we were waiting for the photos to be taken.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Jeez, that's cool, Jeanette. That's a good idea.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: It was magnificent. It was one of the most best
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: weddings that I've ever been to in my entire life.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Now, conspiracy, do you think that was a coincidence about
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: the baboons or do you think there were two zookeepers
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: throwing food out or something at that very moment?
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I think it was a coincidence. I just think it
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: was magnificent how it happened.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Give me a spell, Jeanette. It can't be a coincidence, surely.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Do you think really?
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I reckon it was because I don't know, because all
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the animals were going crazy. It was such a beautiful event,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. It was just crazy how it happened.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: It was just lovely.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's great.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you. That's exactly the kind of story I thought
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: we might get this morning.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: And Meredith's.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Was a beauty as well. I mean, her husband's been
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: pulled over and a bit going on there with Meredith. But, yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: just different wedding ideas. What's your wedding story, albeit, you know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: yours or someone else's?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000. Gary from Golden Grove on the text line.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: He's also joined myself at Oscar. Boys, I also have
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: my own special cutlery, so no one else makes the
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: mistake of using them. I've drilled three holes in each
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: of them, so they're mine.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: That's just weird, Gary.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: That's getting up there. Rob in Clearview, I think Mally
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: went to Lapalia's house and chopped down his tree.
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: Nice, Rob.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: The cutlery thing, is there any reason why you wouldn't
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: use a sharp knife with any form? People have the
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: steak knives. Now, I like a steak knife, but whatever
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: you're eating, just get a sharper knife than a blunt knife.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Do you know those knives with almost zero to no edge?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: It's basically a butter knife.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Why would you use that?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Only for butter.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, even butter. Why wouldn't you just get a
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: sharp knife?
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Well, a sharp knife can be annoying with butter. No. Disagree. Okay.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Strongly disagree. Oh, actually, yeah.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Sammy, we're getting in the weeds. Can I tell a
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: quick story about a wedding? This show is about going.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: So my mother and father got married, and that was
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: a long time ago. Well, you just took a big
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: sigh there as if my story was going to be boring.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Please be an active listener, okay? You've got two ears
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: and one mouth.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: For a reason.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, get on with it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, Meredith's calling back. Meredith, we'll get to you in
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: a moment. Meredith, we've got a bit more stuff on.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: Anyway.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Get on with it, Ned.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: My father's best man was a prominent Carlton footballer.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Bruce Dool.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: No, it wasn't Bruce Dool, but that kind of level
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: of footballer. Anyway, at their wedding, he had an argument,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: my dad's best man, with someone else, and he punched
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: someone in the thing. So the ambulance came, and there
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: was someone unconscious there at the wedding. And mum's looking
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: around going, oh, my goodness. I mean, is this a
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: talk about who just called up Jeanette about getting married
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: at a zoo? Well, they weren't at a physical zoo,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: but I think my mum was looking around going, this
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: is either a zoo or a circus.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Anyway, that's my story. I mean, that's an interesting story.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Don't carry on. Don't carry on. That is a good
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: story about weddings, Sammy. Get to a break, please.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: 22 minutes to six. Tommy Wren coming up shortly. Keep
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the calls coming. 8223 0000.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Live from Highmar Square, 5AA Early Breakfast, Ned McHenry and
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Sam Datto.
• 32:03
  Speaker 13: Thanks to Peppers, SA developed truck strength cleaning products, keeping
• 32:07
  Speaker 13: your logistics fleet clean.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Search Peppers Truck Strength.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: 18 minutes to 6, going for it. It's up at
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: 24 degrees today. Currently 18.5 in the city before we
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: get to Rennie Dave in Meadows.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Morning, mate.
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: Hey, mate. A really quick voice. Went to a wedding
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: many years ago, and there was about eight or nine
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: mates all on this one table. Pulled in, got to
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: the wedding, it was bloody unbelievable. And when they got
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: up to do all the speeches, everybody got up and
• 32:41
  Speaker 10: said their speech, and then the best, the wedding grooms
• 32:46
  Speaker 10: got up and he said, I'd like to thank everybody,
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: all the girls, for looking magnificent, and All of us
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: boys are sitting at the table. It was a hot day.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: We've got bloody beers going. We've got wine bottles everywhere.
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: And then halfway through his speech, he said, I'd also
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: like to thank my best man for sleeping with my
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: wife last night.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: No.
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: And it all went really bad.
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: Oh, no.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Are you serious, Dave?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: So he waited until he was married. You're serious?
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: Yep, because we had seafood.
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: We had crayfish.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: We had everything.
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: And he didn't want to interrupt. There were about 300
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: people there. And all those guys at the table went,
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: what are we going to do now?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Just to clarify, Dave, you weren't the best man.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: No, no. Well, she wasn't bad looking.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: But, Dave, so it was serious. The best man did
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: 100%.
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: Yep, he went around to visit his new missus the
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: night before and went there and, yeah, called.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: The best man with his wife.
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: Oh, my goodness.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, my goodness, Dave. That is one of the all-time stories.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Not a good one.
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: I don't know how it goes, but, yeah, he officially
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: got to be married for a certain time, so it
• 33:58
  Speaker 10: just got null.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: And void for me.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, shivers, Dave. That is extraordinary, mate.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: That is a wedding story that I don't think will
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: be topped this morning.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: The latest in sports with Tom Wren. Top that, Tommy.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: No, I can't. I'm sorry. I'll just go straight into sport.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: What is going on with.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Sport, Renny?
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: Well, there's a lot going around. Not much of it AFL,
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: but a lot of other sport. Not great, unfortunately. We'll
• 34:25
  Speaker 11: start with the cricket. The Aussies were belted in the end.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: They went out with a whimper. And this is the
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: issue now for Australia. You know, we thought they'd fought
• 34:34
  Speaker 11: back so well in that third and final test. But
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: are they coming to the end of an era? Is
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: it the, you know, part now where we've seen the
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: best of them and we're going to see, you know,
• 34:44
  Speaker 11: occasional glimpses of glory, but perhaps farther times catching up
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: even with this side that's been so good for so long?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: This is how it ended up.
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah and look full credit to South Africa they don't
• 35:02
  Speaker 14: play as much test cricket as.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Other nations and.
• 35:17
  Speaker 11: That's not their own fault. A lot of it is
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: Australia playing against India and England a lot of the time.
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: But now, questions about the Australian side. Marnus Lavashane, he's gone.
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: He will not play in the first test.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: He cannot play.
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: 49 test innings now without 100. He just, he looks
• 35:32
  Speaker 11: all at sea. He's totally bereft of any confidence. But
• 35:36
  Speaker 11: what else do they do? You know, Nathan Lyon, he's
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: approaching 40. He's been incredible. But I think it's time
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: they probably look to make a change there. The batting
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: lineup looks brittle. Cam Green looked totally out of his
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: depth against Simon Harmer, the spinner.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: So some huge issues for the Australian cricket team.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Have we just gotten used to it being so good
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: for so long, Rennie?
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: We have.
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: I think we've been spoiled like needle, you know, your lifetime,
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: my lifetime and Sammy's. Australia's dominated. And I still think there's,
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: cause to think that, you know, we're going to be
• 36:08
  Speaker 11: very competitive. But Mitchell Stark's coming towards the end. Pat Cummins,
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: Josh Hazelwood, I think he's very close to the end.
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: That has been what's propping up this team for so long,
• 36:16
  Speaker 11: the pace attack. But after that, you know, whoever comes in,
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: we cannot expect to see the same level of absolute
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: dominance that we have.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, Stark was excellent, wasn't he? But in terms
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: of the bat, there's just not enough. There's not enough
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: guys in really good form at the moment with the bat.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: There's not.
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: And Nathan McSweeney, I keep saying him, he made 60
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: in the second innings against WA. But he needs to
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: make more. There's no one really banging the door down
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: to get in there, which is disappointing. So, yeah, they've
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: got some huge issues now, the selectors. They're under pressure.
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: They come out here for a home series. We've got
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: New Zealand in December, the Australian side. But some huge
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: concerns for Australia. Just in terms of other results over
• 36:58
  Speaker 11: the weekend, South Australian cricket, they also lost.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: That's back-to-back losses, which is disappointing. They went down. They
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: were chasing 422 on Saturday.
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: They went down against Australia.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: WA, as I mentioned.
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: And then just other results. Yesterday, we had a sort
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: of Super Sunday Sixers. The 36ers lost. That was really disappointing,
• 37:16
  Speaker 11: the celebration of their 40-year anniversary after a great win
• 37:19
  Speaker 11: on Friday night.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Against New Zealand, yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: They just looked flat yesterday. And look, maybe the second
• 37:24
  Speaker 11: game in three days, it's hard.
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: But they were poor yesterday. They just couldn't get going, unfortunately.
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: So the good thing for the Sixers is I reckon
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: they've had four games in a row on the road.
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: Now they've got three in a row at home. They're
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: five and six. If they can win all three, they're
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: right back in it.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing, because win-loss, it's not perfect, but
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: we're still so close, isn't it? Because it's quite an
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: even comp.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: It's really congested. Yeah, absolutely right, Ned.
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: And then, look, the other team that's a concern, two
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: losses to start the season, is Adelaide United.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Now, we know what they are. They're generally a young team.
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: They're trying to produce young players for national duties and overseas,
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: but They were belted yesterday 4-0, so that was a
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: huge concern. Speaking of concerns, if you backed Ka-Ying Rising,
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: not Ka-Ying Rising, she's an alibi on the weekend. I
• 38:11
  Speaker 11: reckon you've got every right to ask Luke Nolan for
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: your money back. That's one of the worst rides I
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: think I've ever seen from a jockey, and he got
• 38:20
  Speaker 11: absolutely lambasted for it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Question ready, did you have money on him? I didn't
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: personally have money on him.
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: But the fallout was.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: How much of it is luck? How much of it
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: is pilot error? This is the thing. He had the
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: best horse.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 38:36
  Speaker 11: But in the straight, it was too late by then.
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: He tried to go to the inside. Horses close in,
• 38:42
  Speaker 11: can't go. Tried to go back out to the outside.
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: Horses close in, can't go. He was going up the back.
• 38:48
  Speaker 11: By the time he got out, the race is over.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: $ 1.
• 38:51
  Speaker 13: 50.
• 38:51
  Speaker 11: Everyone had backed it. Now, like I said, how much
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: pilot error? How much luck? Maybe a little bit of everything,
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: but that's two really bad ones in a row from
• 39:00
  Speaker 11: him on a great horse. Time to get him off.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Done.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Bang, it's even better than a karate update. He's just
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Tom Luke Nolan.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Get off.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: Ready's jumping on.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Well done, Tommy. Good on you, boy. Well done, Tommy.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: Channel 9 jockey.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Bang.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Tommy Wren goes bang at 549. Anyway, there you go.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Tommy. On the text line, a couple of
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: good ones coming in. And there we go. You're right.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Just celebrating Rennie's exit.
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: Enza.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Enza, my mate from the wedding, has texted in, Nettie. Oh, wow.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Hasn't incriminated me in any way. Hi, Sam. Thank you
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: for the shout-out this morning. Great meeting you on the weekend.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: You definitely are a fun guy. Oh, that's good. You'll
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: meet that sort of Sam one day. It was a lovely,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: intimate wedding, Enza. Thank you for that. And she also adds,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: in Italy, women keep their surnames.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 39:48
  Speaker 12: Nice, Enza.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: There you go. Tim, you need to name him now, Ned.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Can't drop a story like that and not name him.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: And what would Sam know about steak knives, being a
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: vegan and all?
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: He's a vegan. He's a pumpkin and tofu eating vegan.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Tim, but we still love him. I had the best
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: ricotta and spinach roll. From the Ardrossan Bakery on Saturday
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: morning with a nice cup of coffee and a choccy
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: donut to go with it. Country bakeries are just next level.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Caroline's calling for that last call of David Meadows to
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: get a Peppers truck wash pack after that story.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: That story was brilliant. I mean, I feel horrible for
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: the fella and the wife's done the wrong thing and
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: it's all a bit sad, really, considering it was supposed
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: to be the best day of their life. But in
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: terms of a wedding story, my goodness, that was a belter.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: It's up there. Nine minutes to six. 8223 0000. Will
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and Stace. 5AA Brekkie. Not far away. Back in time
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: for a cold world too. Jump to it.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Five to six on this Monday. Will and Stace coming
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: up shortly for 5AA Breakfast. Before we do that, we
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: often hear about the difficulties of buying a home in
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: South Australia and around Australia. Here in SA, we always
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: have the argument about urban sprawl and building out. I mean,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I drove, as I was driving to Moonshade, you drive
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: past Riverley now, that massive development out on Port Wakefield Road,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: that's an example of how the state's attempting to build outwards.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: We're also attempting to build upwards. The news over the
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: weekend came out yesterday from Planning Minister Nick Champion about
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: changes to the building regulations in and around the western suburbs.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: The government today announcing plans to build up housing stock
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: in the inner west.
• 41:34
  Speaker 15: We're going out to public consultation on 20 storeys in
• 41:37
  Speaker 15: a section of Highmarsh that will really complete this arc
• 41:40
  Speaker 15: of growth that we've got from Bowdoin through to Southwark
• 41:43
  Speaker 15: through the top of Port Road.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: Current building heights across the area are capped at two
• 41:48
  Speaker 6: to three storeys. The government hopes to rezone the land
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: to accommodate more high-rise housing and business space. 15% of
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: the stock will be reserved for affordable housing. Good news
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: ahead of a likely Melbourne Cup rate hit.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: I feel really bad for those families that are feeling
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: the crunch of having to pay higher mortgage costs.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: I hope the Reserve Bank doesn't lift rates, but I
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: fear it will. Audio there, thanks to Nine News. So
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: just recapping that, the changes would see the building height
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: of up to 20 storeys in parts of Hindmarsh along
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Port Road between Park Terrace and South Road, extending back
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: to Manton, Holden, Adams Streets. As you also heard, it's
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: only capped at two to three storeys right now. Outside
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: of the CBD, currently only one small parcel of land
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: in Glenside has redeveloped its zone for building as of
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: a high of 20 storeys. So how are we feeling
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: about high-rise buildings around the CBD as we attempt to
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: try and get more houses and more supply into the system.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: 8223 0000.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Well, Nick, he's a champion bloke and he's championed that idea,
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: hasn't he? So just explain to me and the listeners,
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: what's the intended use of the building? You said residential
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: and business pursuits.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then there's also going to be, what is it,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: about 15% to 20% of the new residential properties will
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: be allotted to affordable housing developments in the inner west
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: area of Hindmarsh. So 20 story zones. It's quite large.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is large, but it's a central business district.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: That's kind of what it's all about, isn't it?
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: We're getting there.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: If you want to spend time in the city, that's
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: kind of what you sign up for.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: We're growing up as a city.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Now, two questions from me, and I think Will and
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: Stace will do an excellent job at unpacking all of this,
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: and I'm looking forward to some calls on that one
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: I hope they're listening.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: 5AA Breakfast. But first question I have, how many South
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: Australians that live in South Australia are prepared to live
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: in a high-rise, high-density living space like that? How many
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: people are choosing to live in an apartment? One of
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: the underrated things that people don't consider when buying something
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: like that is just the body corporate costs.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I've got my strata fees coming in for mine. It's
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: nowhere near as big as a 20-storey building, and boy.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: That's the problem.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Elevators break down.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: The cladding on the exterior of the building fails, and
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: it's up to the residents to go and pay for it.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: So that's the first thing. I'd just love to see
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: some data around the actual demand on residential products like that,
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: albeit an investment or principal place of residence. The third thing, Sammy, is...
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: Class A and Class B office space. What's the demand
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: for either businesses leasing it or investors buying it to lease?
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: We've seen a huge shift in people choosing to either
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: work from home or have different and certain standards around
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: office space. Gone are the days, unfortunately, well, perhaps it
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: is fortunate, of the 1980s, the 1990s, where someone sits
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: in a cubicle in a blank, grey, flat office space
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: and is prepared to work in that environment. It's just
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: not the case now. People do two days from home.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: They demand certain elements of green space, et cetera. So
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: I'm just not sure in terms of where this trend
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: suits South Australian lifestyle.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: You'll hear it all with Will and Stace for 5AA Breakfast. Also,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: we should note today, Nettie, day one of Year 12 exams.
• 45:08
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Year 12 exams are getting underway today, and there's an
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: interesting article in The Advertiser. Australian science and mathematics school
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: principal Kylie Eggers hopes that exams go the way of
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: the dodo. She says, do they actually test student learning
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: or just measure of retention at a particular assessment type
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: that you need to know for now? Exams. Now, I'm
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: one who had to go through the year 12 exams,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: so I'm not in favor of getting rid of exams.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: So everyone has to go through the same sort of
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: level of, not fear, but you got to do what
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: you got to do. But at the same time, I
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: used to hate exams. I was terrible at them. That's
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: why I'm not a pilot anymore. Don't like them. That's
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: my view on them.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: So that's the reason why you're not a pilot, because
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: of exams.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: The study involved and the exams and the theory side
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: of things, just I couldn't hack it.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think people have different learning styles, but I
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: do think resilience is built from doing manageably hard, difficult tasks,
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: and perhaps an exam is a part of that.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: So good luck to all the Year 12s. If you're
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: our early breakfast listeners, your high five is heading along
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: to go... You never know.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's one high fiver who's a year
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: 12 student.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: You never know.
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: They'd be listening to something.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: We'll give Ben Jordan the last word. Surveys show that
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: young people that want a family don't want to live
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: at high rises. No politicians promote this live in this type.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Ben Jordan. Well, I mean, it would be for younger
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: people without families, but at the same time, we still
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: need more houses by the sounds of it.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Well, the first home buyer grant is great. It gets
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: more people into housing, but the reality is that concept
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: is designed to promote development and construction, not necessarily help
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: people buy investments that will future-proof their portfolio.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: We're done. Kendall Brodick, Tom Wren for the 6 o'clock news.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Back tomorrow from 5. Catch you then.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
