- 1:05Speaker 2: Oh, they're also saying, if you're reading the little blurb

- 1:12Speaker 2: of a late thunderstorm this afternoon and evening.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Oh, spooky, spooky.
- 1:18Speaker 4: Just in time for Halloween.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Why does it always rain on me, folks?
- 1:23Speaker 2: Also, if you're just waking up, Tommy Wren coming up
- 1:25Speaker 2: very shortly to give us the latest in sport.
- 1:28Speaker 1: The Aussies.

- 1:48Speaker 3: Let's not muck around, Sammy. A fan favourite's called in.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Let's get your phone ready. Get your phone ready, people.
- 1:54Speaker 4: We might need your help.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Happy Friday, folks.
- 1:56Speaker 3: He's a fan favourite, Leo.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Leo! Good morning, Paul. How are you doing? All right.
- 2:02Speaker 6: Good, Leo.
- 2:03Speaker 3: How are you?
- 2:04Speaker 5: All right. Now, listen, I need your help again, if
- 2:06Speaker 5: you don't mind.
- 2:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Anytime, Leo.
- 2:08Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. There's a name come to my head.
- 2:13Speaker 5: I've got a feeling he might have been an Olympic runner.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Herb Elliott. Was he a runner?
- 2:18Speaker 4: Herb Elliott.
- 2:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Let's have a look. He is a former Australian athlete.
- 2:26Speaker 4: He was a runner.
- 2:27Speaker 3: The greatest middle distance runner of his era.
- 2:31Speaker 5: Oh, I see.
- 2:32Speaker 3: About 66 years ago.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. He won a gold medal in the
- 2:37Speaker 2: 1960 Rome Olympics. He also won gold at the 1958 Cardiff.
- 2:42Speaker 2: He won two golds in the 1958 Cardiff Commonwealth Games.
- 2:46Speaker 5: And yet there was another runner. I think he broke
- 2:49Speaker 5: the record under three minutes or something. What's his name,
- 2:52Speaker 5: Roger Bannister?
- 2:54Speaker 7: Okay.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Roger Bannister.
- 2:56Speaker 5: He broke the record. He ran the mile under three
- 2:59Speaker 5: minutes or something.
- 2:59Speaker 3: Four minutes, I reckon.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Four-minute mile.
- 3:01Speaker 3: A sub-four-minute mile.
- 3:04Speaker 5: Roger Bannister, was it? Yep.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Yep, you're all over it, Leo.
- 3:07Speaker 2: He also won a gold at the 1954 Olympic Games
- 3:10Speaker 2: in Vancouver.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah. And another one, the 1956 Olympic Games.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yes, here in Australia.
- 3:18Speaker 5: Two Australians were running the race, and one fell over,
- 3:21Speaker 5: and the other one went back to help him. Now,
- 3:24Speaker 5: was that Roger Bannister?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:28Speaker 5: And John Landy and.
- 3:31Speaker 4: John Landy and Ron Clark.
- 3:33Speaker 5: Ron Clark, that's it. All right, guys, thanks for the help.
- 3:37Speaker 4: Leo, what are you up to this weekend?
- 3:41Speaker 5: Oh, nothing much, really. No, not doing too much, really. Just...
- 3:45Speaker 5: Just take it every day as it comes, you know
- 3:48Speaker 5: what I mean? Love it.
- 3:49Speaker 3: That's a great way to be, Leo. Hey, just lastly,
- 3:52Speaker 3: did you see someone won a $ 1. 5 million prize for
- 3:57Speaker 3: the lotto at Paraka, but it's unclaimed. Is it yours?
- 4:01Speaker 5: Yeah, well, to be honest with you, I had a friend,
- 4:04Speaker 5: she rings up the radio station, the female, and she
- 4:08Speaker 5: rang me up the other day. She said, Leo, was
- 4:10Speaker 5: it you that won the money? I said, no, it
- 4:11Speaker 5: wasn't me.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Oh, well, I saw it. I thought, I hope that's
- 4:15Speaker 3: our friend Leo.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Yeah, no. I'm not lucky enough to win it, but
- 4:20Speaker 5: never mind. That's the way it is.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Nah, you will win one day, Leo, if that is
- 4:24Speaker 3: something that you choose to spend your money on. If
- 4:26Speaker 3: you don't, that's probably even wiser. Leo, happy Friday. Have
- 4:30Speaker 3: a great weekend. We love you.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Well done, Leo.
- 4:33Speaker 4: Call whenever you like, mate.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Yeah, our heart is full for Leo. Speaking of weekends,
- 4:38Speaker 3: 8223 0000, call up, tell us how your week went,
- 4:40Speaker 3: what you're up to. for the weekend. They're just flying
- 4:42Speaker 3: by at the moment, weeks.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Aren't they? They are.
- 4:44Speaker 4: What are we at? The 30th of October. It's almost November.
- 4:47Speaker 1: It's November on Sunday.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Absolutely bonky donky.
- 4:50Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Chris and Sari Downs, good morning.
- 4:52Speaker 5: Good morning.
- 4:53Speaker 8: Yeah, Herbert, he trained with Percy Serity, a well-known trainer
- 5:00Speaker 8: in those days.
- 5:01Speaker 5: Okay.
- 5:03Speaker 8: And, yeah, he went on to a lot of things
- 5:06Speaker 8: this morning.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Fantastic, Chris.
- 5:12Speaker 8: And what else? I'm trying to think of another one.
- 5:15Speaker 3: What else you got about some old Australian athletes, Chris?
- 5:17Speaker 3: Just give us fun facts. What about, he's not Australian,
- 5:20Speaker 3: but Peter Norman in the 1968 Olympics, I think. He
- 5:24Speaker 3: did the Black Power stance, which was a huge moment
- 5:29Speaker 3: for racial equality.
- 5:30Speaker 8: Yeah, he should have done that up in the hand
- 5:32Speaker 8: with the clean feet.
- 5:33Speaker 3: Yeah, 100-metre sprinter.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 8: Oh, no, we've had some good... athletes over here, runners
- 5:41Speaker 8: and things like that.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Oh, definitely. What about recently in the middle distance? Um,
- 5:45Speaker 3: Ryan Gregson, people like that. I mean, he was a superstar,
- 5:48Speaker 3: wasn't he, Greg?
- 5:49Speaker 8: It's funny you mentioned that name. I used to work
- 5:52Speaker 8: for the Brian Gregson.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Oh, the Ryan Gregson.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Oh, Ryan.
- 5:56Speaker 6: Sorry. Yeah.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Ryan Gregson was probably our best middle distance runner for Australia.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I think in the 1500 and three K probably five
- 6:06Speaker 3: years or 10 years ago. Um, Who else got to
- 6:09Speaker 3: an Olympic final in the middle distance in Australia recently?
- 6:12Speaker 4: You're a middle distance runner expert, aren't you?
- 6:14Speaker 3: No, well, not really, but I just, you know, anywho.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Mandy and the Blue Brothers. I do like the athletics.
- 6:20Speaker 3: You like athletics?
- 6:22Speaker 4: With the Olympics, it's swimming week one, athletics week two.
- 6:25Speaker 4: I always get into the swimming the first week.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Okay.
- 6:28Speaker 2: I'm not too fussed about the running. However, I do
- 6:32Speaker 2: love watching the more obscure sports. You don't normally see javelin, discus,
- 6:35Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. I'll get into that. And then,
- 6:37Speaker 2: of course, when you're sitting on the couch, you all
- 6:39Speaker 2: become an expert. Oh, mate, that's not what you do.
- 6:41Speaker 4: The hammer throw. No, no, no.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Come on.
- 6:43Speaker 3: What about Izzy Bat Doyle? Local Adelaidean, she went over
- 6:47Speaker 3: to the, did the Chicago Marathon recently, about a week
- 6:50Speaker 3: ago or two weeks ago. She broke the Australian Marathon record.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Really?
- 6:55Speaker 3: Yeah, off our very own Jess Stenson.
- 6:57Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 6:57Speaker 9: Jess Tringrove.
- 6:59Speaker 5: Yeah, no.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Izzy Bat Doyle, absolute superstar. She's got a little running
- 7:02Speaker 3: cafe over there in Norwood. Oh, goodness, so many great
- 7:06Speaker 3: South Australian athletes, and we wish them all good luck.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Did you read Mandy's text?
- 7:11Speaker 4: No, your ADHD brain jumped somewhere else.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Sorry, I was thinking about athletics. Leo's kind of started
- 7:17Speaker 3: something here on a Friday. Could we talk about athletics?
- 7:19Speaker 4: We can figure something out.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Probably not bored enough.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Well, let's go, Mandy. Good morning, Ned and Sam.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I hope you're well. Happy, funny Friday. Mandy and those
- 7:26Speaker 2: Blue Brothers.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Well, back in the day in sports days, what was
- 7:31Speaker 4: your athletic pursuit?
- 7:35Speaker 2: Were you put up for an event in sports day
- 7:37Speaker 2: at school? I used to be the 200-meter sprinter.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Were you the 200-meter sprinter?
- 7:41Speaker 4: I came second and I came third in successive years.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That's great.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Nice work with the ribbons.
- 7:46Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 7:47Speaker 3: I was, yeah, more of a middle distance, long distance.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Type of operator.
- 7:51Speaker 2: A sort of like real, the grunt, the engine, just
- 7:53Speaker 2: keep on going.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I was a long distance type guy. Had the record
- 7:57Speaker 3: at the Geelong Falcons for the beep test.
- 7:59Speaker 4: Oh, what did you get to?
- 8:00Speaker 3: Best ever, 16.2, I think it was.
- 8:01Speaker 4: Oh, I think my best was over 13, something like that.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Okay, well, that's a weak effort.
- 8:06Speaker 4: That's far off.
- 8:07Speaker 1: It's mental.
- 8:07Speaker 3: The beep test is mental, so take that for how
- 8:10Speaker 3: you will. What else? Did a two kilometre time trial,
- 8:12Speaker 3: about 5.58 was my PB for that, so that's sub
- 8:15Speaker 3: three minute.
- 8:15Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:17Speaker 3: We're sidetracked now.
- 8:18Speaker 1: We are very sidetracked. We're sidetracked.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Can we straighten up, please?
- 8:21Speaker 2: We haven't even started what we're going to do. What
- 8:23Speaker 2: are we going to do, Ned? What's on your mind?
- 8:25Speaker 3: There's a lot of things to do, Sammy. Now, what
- 8:27Speaker 3: about this Adelaide City Council? I mean, how much money
- 8:30Speaker 3: is too much money to spend on overseas travel? I
- 8:33Speaker 3: read about it in the advertiser this morning.
- 8:37Speaker 11: I just want to get the exact details so I
- 8:38Speaker 11: don't say anything that's not totally true. $ 120, 000 to travel. Now,
- 8:46Speaker 11: ratepayers have funded more than that, $ 120, 000 in travel expenses.
- 8:50Speaker 4: I live in the Adelaide City Council region. What am
- 8:51Speaker 4: I spending my money on?
- 8:52Speaker 3: For high-paid Adelaide City Council staff to attend meetings in
- 8:57Speaker 3: New York, Barcelona and Rio.
- 9:00Speaker 1: What?
- 9:01Speaker 3: Now, $ 120, 000, I thought we could have some fun on
- 9:03Speaker 3: this Friday. That's a lot of money. That's to obviously
- 9:06Speaker 3: go to things like climate expos, et cetera. If we
- 9:10Speaker 3: got the high-fivers together and we had a budget for
- 9:12Speaker 3: the year, $ 120, 000, mind you, that's almost 30% or something
- 9:16Speaker 3: up on what they spent last year for some reason,
- 9:18Speaker 3: even though we're in an inflationary environment and no one's
- 9:21Speaker 3: got any money. Why don't we put together a bit
- 9:24Speaker 3: of a budget, $ 120, 000? The high-fivers could organise a bit
- 9:28Speaker 3: of a trip.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Call in.
- 9:30Speaker 3: We'll give you a bit of an allowance. Where are
- 9:32Speaker 3: we going? Where are we heading off to? So someone
- 9:34Speaker 3: can call up and they can say, look, I need
- 9:38Speaker 3: $ 15, 000 out of the $ 120, 000 of the Adelaide City Council
- 9:40Speaker 3: travel budget. We're heading on a cruise. We're going on
- 9:42Speaker 3: Phil Hoffman and we're going to head off on a
- 9:44Speaker 3: cruise to Turkey. And we could build out a bit
- 9:47Speaker 3: of a travel itinerary. And we could see what we
- 9:49Speaker 3: could get for $ 120, 000. What do you think?
- 9:53Speaker 4: Where are we starting? I feel like you should start
- 9:55Speaker 4: us off.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I'll start us off.
- 9:56Speaker 2: We've got our bags packed here in Adelaide, South Australia.
- 9:59Speaker 2: Are we heading to Adelaide Airport? Are we heading out
- 10:02Speaker 2: of Harvard to jump on a cruise? Are we flying
- 10:04Speaker 2: to Sydney for a connecting flight? Are we jumping straight
- 10:06Speaker 2: on a plane to go international?
- 10:07Speaker 1: Where are we going?
- 10:08Speaker 3: Nice. So this budget needs to be spent wisely. We
- 10:11Speaker 3: need to learn about where the world is heading. Now,
- 10:14Speaker 3: what are some of the biggest kind of... I suppose,
- 10:18Speaker 3: fad-type topics. No, they're not fads, but they're necessary. But
- 10:22Speaker 3: the talk of the town at the moment, AI. You
- 10:26Speaker 3: throw AI out there, any business or any government department,
- 10:30Speaker 3: if they're not quite sure what to say about what
- 10:34Speaker 3: they're doing research on, you just throw AI in there.
- 10:36Speaker 4: So we're heading to Silicon Valley, are we?
- 10:37Speaker 3: We're heading to Port Lincoln. Okay, sell it to me.
- 10:45Speaker 3: I've got a Rex plane. Now, that is quite expensive,
- 10:49Speaker 3: a Rex plane. 40 seats at about $ 230.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Okay, so what's the fact-finding mission in Port Lincoln for
- 10:56Speaker 2: AI about?
- 10:57Speaker 3: No, we're going to go ahead and see the tuna fishery.
- 11:00Speaker 3: We're going to go to the marina hotel. We're going
- 11:01Speaker 3: to speak to local grain farmers. I'm going to take
- 11:05Speaker 3: the Adelaide City Councillors over there just to get a
- 11:07Speaker 3: real feel for what rural Australia looks like.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Why?
- 11:11Speaker 3: Oh, it's very important. It gets done in the budget.
- 11:13Speaker 3: It's only 10% of the budget.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay.
- 11:15Speaker 3: It's $ 12, 000 for the whole trip.
- 11:17Speaker 4: I don't want to rain on your parade, but why
- 11:19Speaker 4: do Adelaide City Councillors, which their council area encompasses CBD,
- 11:27Speaker 4: need to know how regional Australia lives?
- 11:30Speaker 3: Because, mate, they need to know what it's like beyond
- 11:32Speaker 3: the parklands.
- 11:33Speaker 1: But why?
- 11:34Speaker 3: They're gated by parklands.
- 11:35Speaker 2: But that's their boundary of what they need to look after.
- 11:38Speaker 4: In the city.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Now you're speaking as an Adelaide City resident and a ratepayer.
- 11:42Speaker 2: But I'm just curious. What are you going to find
- 11:44Speaker 2: out in the regions that would apply to the CBD?
- 11:46Speaker 3: What are they going to find out about in Barcelona?
- 11:49Speaker 1: Great point. I mean, seriously, they're going to learn more.
- 11:51Speaker 3: About Adelaide City here than they are in Barcelona. I mean,
- 11:55Speaker 3: what are they going to do? Eat a paella or
- 11:57Speaker 3: something and go, oh, I've got an idea. We need
- 12:00Speaker 3: better footpaths. I mean, seriously, you just can't script this stuff.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Public spending is just rife. It's just an absolute joke.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Yep, 16 after 5. That's a joke.
- 12:10Speaker 2: If you've got any ideas of where we should be
- 12:12Speaker 2: heading along on the Adelaide City Council-funded early breakfast itinerary
- 12:16Speaker 2: for high-fivers.
- 12:18Speaker 3: 120 grand we've got for the year.
- 12:19Speaker 1: I'm still confused.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Are we going on fact-finding missions or just a holiday? Well,
- 12:23Speaker 2: I mean, they sound like holidays to me.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Well, let's ask them what they actually did. I mean, yeah.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Johnny from Port Augusta, are you calling up to talk
- 12:30Speaker 2: about the cricket or complain about the drive show last night?
- 12:33Speaker 6: No, not the drive show.
- 12:35Speaker 12: Cricket. Well, had enough.
- 12:37Speaker 6: I went to bed. I was watching until about tea time. Yeah,
- 12:40Speaker 6: until about tea time.
- 12:43Speaker 12: What did it end up?
- 12:43Speaker 6: What did it end up?
- 12:44Speaker 12: Because I haven't checked on my phone.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Yet this morning.
- 12:46Speaker 4: You missed the start, mate. South Africa, four for 140. Australia,
- 12:49Speaker 4: all out for 429. South Africa leads by 40.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Wow, game on.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Game on. Hey, boys, I'll tell you a little.
- 12:53Speaker 6: Story about that Quainer.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Oh, I said Quainer.
- 12:57Speaker 12: How am I?
- 12:58Speaker 6: I was at Keilor. He's from Port Augusta.
- 13:09Speaker 3: Isaac Killer. Isaac Killer, yeah. He's been at St Kilda,
- 13:13Speaker 3: and he's coming back to Port Adelaide.
- 13:15Speaker 12: Yeah, on the rookie list. I tell you what, I
- 13:17Speaker 12: am quite his father in the old Spencer Golf League
- 13:20Speaker 12: in the mid-1990s.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Wow.
- 13:23Speaker 12: His father is a gentleman and a scholar.
- 13:26Speaker 6: An absolute bloody gentleman and a scholar. He bonds a bloke.
- 13:31Speaker 12: Kieran, Kieran Keeler, was a very good country footballer. He
- 13:35Speaker 12: won the 1995 Madigan Medal in the Specs of Golf League,
- 13:40Speaker 12: the one where Mark Pickley won the 1988 Madigan Medal
- 13:44Speaker 12: in Solentown in Port Perry. And Bond's a bloke, Kieran Keeler,
- 13:50Speaker 12: and I hope Isaac's very similar.
- 13:52Speaker 6: I think he is. I think he just needs a
- 13:54Speaker 6: bigger tank.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Okay.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Well done, Johnny.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Nice work, Johnny. Yeah, he's got some talent. I saw
- 14:00Speaker 3: him train. He trained with the Adelaide Crows, actually, when
- 14:02Speaker 3: he was a young fella, and he did some remarkable things.
- 14:05Speaker 3: I remember some of the players, Jordan Dawson and others,
- 14:06Speaker 3: we kind of said to each other, wow, this kid
- 14:08Speaker 3: could be anything. He kicked on his left foot, right foot.
- 14:11Speaker 1: John might be right.
- 14:12Speaker 3: He might need a little bit more fitness under him, but, yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 3: it looks to be a bit of a talent. Mike
- 14:16Speaker 3: O'Sullivan Beach.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Hello, Mike.
- 14:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 9: Good morning, fellas. Look, the Adelaide City Council has taken
- 14:22Speaker 9: them to the parklands because they've cut all the trees
- 14:25Speaker 9: down now to be able to get a lovely suntan.
- 14:30Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people would be overly
- 14:32Speaker 3: excited about that, Mike. What do you think? Trees down,
- 14:34Speaker 3: trees up? Which way do you lean?
- 14:35Speaker 1: Oh, we're going there.
- 14:37Speaker 5: Artificial trees.
- 14:39Speaker 2: Artificial trees. I'll say it's trees down. So you'd be
- 14:42Speaker 2: in favour of golf and MotoGP then, Mike?
- 14:46Speaker 5: I think it's going to happen.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Fair enough.
- 14:48Speaker 5: Yep.
- 14:49Speaker 3: I think it certainly will. Thank you, Mike. You can
- 14:51Speaker 3: call up about anything, 8223 0000.
- 14:54Speaker 9: Yes?
- 14:55Speaker 5: No, go.
- 14:55Speaker 3: No, you go.
- 14:56Speaker 4: I was about to go to a break, which might
- 14:57Speaker 4: annoy you.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Go to a break. Eighteen after five. Jump on.
- 15:00Speaker 3: I need a week. Go to a break, please.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 15:07Speaker 13: 8223 0000 044808 1395.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Pepper's Truck Wash Pack to give away. McLeod's Daughters.
- 15:19Speaker 2: It was a staple on Australian television for about eight
- 15:23Speaker 2: or nine seasons. Of course, it was filmed out in
- 15:25Speaker 2: the north of South Australia. We've heard it's making a
- 15:28Speaker 2: comeback through the Nine Network and on Stan. Some new
- 15:32Speaker 2: details were released last night. Audio thanks to Nine.
- 15:34Speaker 14: More than 15 years since the curtain went down, Drover's
- 15:38Speaker 14: Run is getting another run.
- 15:40Speaker 1: McLeod's Daughters is back.
- 15:42Speaker 14: Over eight seasons, the story of the McLeod sisters taking
- 15:45Speaker 14: over the family's cattle station was a hit here and internationally,
- 15:49Speaker 14: screening in 100 countries.
- 15:51Speaker 15: Audiences all around the world just obsessed with the women
- 15:54Speaker 15: farming the land in Australia and the relationships that were
- 15:58Speaker 15: inspired by, you know, being in that environment.
- 16:01Speaker 3: It's a classic story and it's ripe for a retelling.
- 16:04Speaker 13: Incredible amount of interest internationally in the show.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Certainly it continues to play in markets around the world,
- 16:10Speaker 2: so we're really excited about what this means.
- 16:13Speaker 14: The original show was filmed in South Australia, but Victoria
- 16:17Speaker 14: will be home to the new series.
- 16:19Speaker 8: It's going to create around 900 jobs and will inject
- 16:22Speaker 8: $ 35 million into communities.
- 16:25Speaker 2: So the staple that is McLeod's Daughters, they're rebooting it,
- 16:28Speaker 2: they're bringing it back, but you would have.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Just heard then... In Victoria.
- 16:32Speaker 5: Boo.
- 16:33Speaker 4: How are they going to.
- 16:34Speaker 2: They used to use iconic locations out north in South Australia.
- 16:38Speaker 4: They're going to bring it back to Victoria. Is this
- 16:40Speaker 4: them getting a bit annoyed and shitty because we took
- 16:41Speaker 4: their MotoGP?
- 16:43Speaker 1: I'm not happy about that.
- 16:44Speaker 6: That was.
- 16:45Speaker 4: Mum and I would watch that. Nana as well on
- 16:47Speaker 4: a Wednesday night would watch it together.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:48Speaker 4: And it's coming back to Victoria. I'm annoyed.
- 16:51Speaker 3: It's not coming back to Victoria.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Well, it's going to Victoria.
- 16:54Speaker 5: Yeah. Um.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Well, it's about time we kind of lost something and
- 16:57Speaker 3: they gained something. I mean, we basically stripped them of
- 17:00Speaker 3: all they were worth. Great show, isn't it? Kingsford's a
- 17:03Speaker 3: wonderful estate. Was it filmed at Rosebank Station, is it,
- 17:07Speaker 3: in Mount Pleasant as well, or not?
- 17:09Speaker 4: No, it's all out north.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's semi-north. I suppose not quite north. Raymond
- 17:15Speaker 3: at Salisbury Plains, good morning.
- 17:17Speaker 10: Happy Fri-Yay, boys. Happy Fri-Yay, Adelaide.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Good days.
- 17:20Speaker 10: Ned, are you feeling better now after your moment?
- 17:23Speaker 3: What was my moment?
- 17:24Speaker 1: You went to the toilet.
- 17:25Speaker 3: I did away, yeah.
- 17:25Speaker 4: We don't need to get back over it.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Well, I scald water this morning, Raymond. What do you think?
- 17:31Speaker 3: You don't think that just because I'm on air, I
- 17:34Speaker 3: don't have normal bodily functions?
- 17:36Speaker 10: Don't you go before you go on air? You're only
- 17:38Speaker 10: on air for an hour, dude. Don't you sort of
- 17:40Speaker 10: take care of all that before you start work like
- 17:42Speaker 10: the rest of us have to?
- 17:43Speaker 3: I have a really weak bladder, Raymond, really weak. I
- 17:45Speaker 3: must admit, if I go to a beer garden and
- 17:47Speaker 3: have a couple of beers, by the second, look, once
- 17:50Speaker 3: you break that seal, Raymond, it is over.
- 17:54Speaker 5: Spot on.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Yes, mate.
- 17:56Speaker 10: Dead set.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Yes.
- 17:57Speaker 10: Once the seal is broken, it is over. You're right.
- 18:00Speaker 10: Not what I called, but.
- 18:01Speaker 16: $ 120, 000 on travel.
- 18:03Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:03Speaker 10: Where do you want to go? Big Cat Reality.
- 18:07Speaker 16: Oh.
- 18:08Speaker 5: Now.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Sammy, you might not know what this is.
- 18:10Speaker 10: We might have to explain that to the listeners.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Please explain it to me.
- 18:13Speaker 10: You and I know what Big Cat Reality is, but
- 18:15Speaker 10: probably Sammy wouldn't.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Roman, I would love to do that with you or anyone, honestly.
- 18:19Speaker 3: That would be a great trip. So Big Cat Reality
- 18:21Speaker 3: is a fishing charter, Sammy. I think out to the
- 18:24Speaker 3: Coral Sea. It's on a big mothership, so you stay
- 18:28Speaker 3: and you cook up your crayfish and all of that,
- 18:30Speaker 3: and you get together in a long table throughout the
- 18:33Speaker 3: night and whatever. And then it travels with some tender boats,
- 18:37Speaker 3: so you actually go out by a small boat and
- 18:39Speaker 3: do all the fishing around the coral reefs and stuff.
- 18:41Speaker 3: That's a fair summary, isn't it, Roman?
- 18:43Speaker 6: Pretty much.
- 18:44Speaker 10: You can take your own boat, too, if you've got
- 18:45Speaker 10: a boat that's suitable. They'll do that for you.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Outstanding.
- 18:48Speaker 10: But, yeah, never mind the eating of the crayfish and stuff.
- 18:52Speaker 10: More like chasing the GTs and the doggies, dogtooth tuna,
- 18:57Speaker 10: that is, and then fishing the flats, you know, those
- 19:00Speaker 10: reef-covered flats for.
- 19:03Speaker 10: Oh, gee, what are the big wrasse called?
- 19:05Speaker 1: Maori wrasse. Maori wrasse, yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:08Speaker 10: Mate, that would be the bomb. And, you know, the
- 19:11Speaker 10: reason behind such a trip would be to study the
- 19:15Speaker 10: numbers of fish and make sure that the populations aren't
- 19:18Speaker 10: being overfished and that we're managing it properly.
- 19:20Speaker 3: Exactly. It's a sustainability trip and certainly relevant for the
- 19:24Speaker 3: Adelaide City Council.
- 19:25Speaker 10: Well, I think so.
- 19:26Speaker 4: Plenty of fish in the torrents.
- 19:27Speaker 3: I've put 20,000 towards that, Raymond. Will that get it
- 19:30Speaker 3: done or do you need more? Only 20,000.
- 19:31Speaker 10: Only $ 20, 000. You'd probably need a bit more, mate. I'll
- 19:34Speaker 10: make it $ 40, 000.
- 19:34Speaker 1: If the two of us are going, we'd need a
- 19:36Speaker 1: bit more.
- 19:36Speaker 3: $ 40, 000 you've got to spend on that, and you can
- 19:39Speaker 3: bring a couple of high-fiving mates.
- 19:40Speaker 10: Okay, and what about drinks, mate? We need some alcoholic beverages.
- 19:45Speaker 5: $ 60, 000.
- 19:45Speaker 3: That's it. No more.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Half our budget.
- 19:48Speaker 3: I'm getting really good at this government thing.
- 19:51Speaker 10: What about the tackle that we need for it, mate?
- 19:53Speaker 3: I said $ 60, 000.
- 19:54Speaker 6: I am a.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Strict, well-budgeted council outfit. You will not be having any
- 20:01Speaker 3: more than $ 60, 000 for one singular fishing trip.
- 20:04Speaker 10: I'll take it, mate.
- 20:05Speaker 5: I'll take it.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Well done.
- 20:06Speaker 16: All right.
- 20:06Speaker 3: We're 60, oh, no, 72,000 in the hole. Still have
- 20:09Speaker 3: a bit of money left for our.
- 20:10Speaker 4: We don't have much money.
- 20:12Speaker 16: I know.
- 20:12Speaker 3: That did go quickly, didn't it? Thanks for your call, Raymond.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Have a great weekend, mate. Peter at Woodville West.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Hello.
- 20:19Speaker 6: Morning, boy.
- 20:20Speaker 13: I used to work in the East End market in
- 20:22Speaker 13: the 70s, and when we'd get the parking inspector in
- 20:26Speaker 13: the phone box talking, we'd get on the forklift, go
- 20:29Speaker 13: out the front and rev it like hell so he
- 20:31Speaker 13: couldn't hear a thing what he's talking about.
- 20:33Speaker 8: It used to annoy him.
- 20:35Speaker 13: And in Union Street, one of the merchants had his
- 20:39Speaker 13: truck kept on getting thicker, so he got the forklift
- 20:44Speaker 13: back down on about a half a dozen parking metres
- 20:47Speaker 13: and bent him over like a match. That was in
- 20:50Speaker 13: about the mid-70s.
- 20:51Speaker 3: Okay. Do you mind me asking people where this came from?
- 20:54Speaker 3: I don't quite understand. Explain that one more time for
- 20:58Speaker 3: me because I might have missed that. What's this regarding?
- 21:01Speaker 13: The East End market, I worked at when it was
- 21:03Speaker 13: in Grenfell Street in the 70s.
- 21:05Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 21:07Speaker 3: But the parking inspector thing, what?
- 21:09Speaker 13: The parking inspectors would give tickets to trucks and all
- 21:12Speaker 13: that on their bikes like they used to do in
- 21:14Speaker 13: that era. And when they'd go into the phone box
- 21:16Speaker 13: to make a phone call because there was no mobile phone,
- 21:19Speaker 13: we'd get on the fork and lift out the front
- 21:21Speaker 13: and rev it like hell and he couldn't hear what
- 21:23Speaker 13: he's talking about.
- 21:24Speaker 10: Oh, no, okay.
- 21:24Speaker 7: Okay.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Wow, there's a bit of a power kind of thing
- 21:29Speaker 3: going on there, Peter, with the parking inspectors.
- 21:32Speaker 1: A bit of a dispute.
- 21:34Speaker 4: Changing the power of ballots.
- 21:35Speaker 2: One can get fines and one can get a bugger
- 21:37Speaker 2: and the other one... I'm assuming that might come from
- 21:39Speaker 2: a disdain of local government and spending and that's... I mean,
- 21:42Speaker 2: we don't condone such an action, but that might have
- 21:44Speaker 2: been what they did back in the day to express
- 21:47Speaker 2: their displeasure at the authority.
- 21:50Speaker 5: Well, yeah.
- 21:51Speaker 3: They're people too, aren't they?
- 21:52Speaker 13: They are.
- 21:53Speaker 1: They are.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I despise what they do for a living, but I
- 21:56Speaker 3: still respect them as human beings.
- 21:58Speaker 6: Good.
- 21:59Speaker 3: God, they're good at giving me tickets. It's like they're
- 22:01Speaker 3: following me.
- 22:02Speaker 4: Well, maybe park legally.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Oh, they've got binoculars somewhere.
- 22:05Speaker 4: They don't need binoculars with a Toyota Tundra.
- 22:08Speaker 3: Oh, the Toyota Tundra. Isn't that a beautiful vehicle?
- 22:10Speaker 1: Oh, wrong one.
- 22:12Speaker 3: Now, Sammy, I want to ask our listeners, who has
- 22:16Speaker 3: a phone case and who's running raw? Now, you've just
- 22:20Speaker 3: held up your phone.
- 22:22Speaker 5: What?
- 22:22Speaker 4: I've got a phone case. It's getting a bit yellow
- 22:25Speaker 4: these days.
- 22:26Speaker 1: It's a clear one.
- 22:26Speaker 2: It does the job, though. I've had many an iPhone
- 22:29Speaker 2: over my years, and they would always smash and break.
- 22:32Speaker 2: I've dropped this one. Too many times that I can remember.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Okay.
- 22:36Speaker 4: Held up.
- 22:36Speaker 5: Well done.
- 22:37Speaker 2: So the phone case is working. That's why I don't
- 22:38Speaker 2: want to get a new phone case. In case I
- 22:39Speaker 2: get a new phone case dropping on brakes.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Now, have a look at mine. I'm just going to
- 22:42Speaker 3: bring mine up. Have a look at that.
- 22:43Speaker 4: That's the Chunky Boy.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Now, that's the full airtight dirt type.
- 22:47Speaker 4: I had one of them once. What are they called?
- 22:49Speaker 3: I've no idea.
- 22:49Speaker 2: I know, but it's the one that encapsulates it. And
- 22:52Speaker 2: you can get bright orange ones and bright yellow ones.
- 22:54Speaker 2: So when you're on the farm, if you lose it,
- 22:56Speaker 2: you can find it.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good idea. But that's fully dirt tight.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And water tight.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Dust tight, water tight, et cetera.
- 23:02Speaker 17: It is.
- 23:03Speaker 3: along with seat covers on your motor vehicle, the best
- 23:07Speaker 3: return on investment.
- 23:10Speaker 1: You could ever do.
- 23:11Speaker 3: You pay ridiculous amounts of money for these phones these days.
- 23:15Speaker 3: If you don't have a phone case, that is outrageous.
- 23:18Speaker 4: That's living life on the edge.
- 23:19Speaker 3: That is crazy. Now, I say this for good reason. Yesterday,
- 23:25Speaker 3: I caught up with a few people. I was the
- 23:27Speaker 3: only one rolling with a phone case. They were rolling raw.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Their phone was cruising around doing life without any protection. Now,
- 23:36Speaker 3: to me, that seems wild. 8223 0000. Does anyone have
- 23:43Speaker 3: a phone without a phone case?
- 23:46Speaker 2: What phones did they have? Were they all rocking iPhones
- 23:48Speaker 2: or different kinds or you weren't too sure?
- 23:51Speaker 3: And this is something I want to get into as
- 23:52Speaker 3: well with the high-fivers. 8223 0000. How do you go
- 23:56Speaker 3: about selecting your phone case? What do you do? Do
- 23:58Speaker 3: you like something that's a little more subtle, that doesn't
- 24:02Speaker 3: kind of interfere with the user experience of the phone?
- 24:04Speaker 3: Do you like one of the ones that fold out?
- 24:07Speaker 3: The folders. Do we have any folder routers?
- 24:10Speaker 4: I think we would have plenty of folder routers.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Folder routers, and they put the cards in that case.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little wallet.
- 24:15Speaker 3: That's a terrible case.
- 24:16Speaker 4: It's an all-in-one sort of setup.
- 24:18Speaker 3: That's too bulky, and it's like you have to open
- 24:20Speaker 3: a novel every time to send a text.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Too bulky.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Does anyone have a folder router? Phone cases. Do you
- 24:26Speaker 3: have it? Do you not have it? If you don't,
- 24:28Speaker 3: you're crazy. You need to explain why. And if you
- 24:30Speaker 3: do have a case, what are you rolling with?
- 24:32Speaker 17: 822-300-00-044-808-1395.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Remember, we've got a Peppers truck wash pack we can
- 24:38Speaker 2: also give away before 6 o'clock with any thoughts and
- 24:40Speaker 2: views on your phone cases. So keep those calls and
- 24:43Speaker 2: texts coming in. We've got a few texts that we
- 24:45Speaker 2: haven't gotten to yet.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Wayne, morning.
- 24:49Speaker 2: The homestead for McLeod's daughters was just north of Gola
- 24:52Speaker 2: and the service station was at Freeling. Thank you, Wayne.
- 24:55Speaker 2: And then Tom would go on to say, Mally will
- 24:57Speaker 2: buy back McLeod's daughters for an undisclosed sum in a
- 25:01Speaker 2: commercial in confidence. Doesn't mind a bit of that. Rob Ned,
- 25:04Speaker 2: so there is a hole in the market for a
- 25:06Speaker 2: farming show filmed here in SA.
- 25:08Speaker 1: You beauty. It's Ned. No bull, just wool.
- 25:11Speaker 3: That's quite a clever title there, you beauty. Do you
- 25:15Speaker 3: get that, Sammy?
- 25:16Speaker 5: Yes, I do.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Oh, sorry. It's just because you only ate vegetables. That's
- 25:20Speaker 3: why I was wondering.
- 25:23Speaker 4: I'm glad it's Friday.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Well, the lovely lady at the Vietnamese last night gave
- 25:27Speaker 3: me free tofu rice paper rolls because no one wanted
- 25:31Speaker 3: them at the end of the day.
- 25:32Speaker 4: And how were they?
- 25:33Speaker 3: No, I didn't eat them. But I took them and
- 25:34Speaker 3: I gave them to a vegan friend that I have.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Serious, not joking.
- 25:38Speaker 3: I wonder why they were left. It's surprising that no
- 25:40Speaker 3: one wants the tofu ones. Bizarre.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Oh, Tom, also having a go at you. What's the
- 25:44Speaker 2: pile on Adelaide City Council of Light? It's getting a
- 25:46Speaker 2: bit tiresome. And also, how about the credible bomb threat
- 25:50Speaker 2: in Dunkillo yesterday afternoon? Yeah, 5AA Breakfast, we'll be touching
- 25:53Speaker 2: on that this morning, also 5AA Mornings, and you'll hear
- 25:56Speaker 2: the latest with Jess Adamson during the 6 o'clock news
- 25:59Speaker 2: on that.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Yeah, all the important news coming up. Do we need
- 26:02Speaker 3: to get to a break?
- 26:03Speaker 4: Oh, we can if you want.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Get to a break. 27 to 6, 8223.
- 26:06Speaker 4: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto, 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 26:09Speaker 1: MUSIC 22.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Minutes to 6 on this Friday morning. Tommy Wren coming
- 26:27Speaker 2: up very shortly to talk some sport. Going for a
- 26:29Speaker 2: top of 28 degrees with showers developing across Adelaide today.
- 26:34Speaker 2: 19.6 currently in the city. Nettie, have you had any
- 26:37Speaker 2: running with wildlife in and around South Australia?
- 26:40Speaker 1: Have a think.
- 26:41Speaker 4: Because there's been a running with a koala at Happy Valley.
- 26:46Speaker 4: Here's 7 News.
- 26:47Speaker 15: A Happy Valley family has been woken in the early
- 26:49Speaker 15: hours of the morning by a surprise visitor inside their home.
- 26:53Speaker 15: What followed was a memorable encounter with a meandering marsupial.
- 26:58Speaker 18: Roaming the hallways of a Happy Valley family's home at 4am.
- 27:02Speaker 1: I have no idea how it even got in here.
- 27:05Speaker 1: A nocturnal koala is wide awake.
- 27:07Speaker 3: How did we even get in our house buddy?
- 27:09Speaker 18: Resident Belinda Jennings called a rescue hotline for advice. A
- 27:14Speaker 18: series of questions determined the marsupial was healthy and likely
- 27:18Speaker 18: just curious.
- 27:20Speaker 3: We tried to nudge her with a broom and she
- 27:22Speaker 3: just wanted to stay put. She was quite happy taking
- 27:25Speaker 3: it all in.
- 27:25Speaker 1: Sweetie pie, you can't come back in the house.
- 27:27Speaker 18: Eventually, the visitor hopped down the stairs and back into
- 27:31Speaker 18: the wild.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I wonder if she's going to come back.
- 27:33Speaker 1: I hope she'll come back.
- 27:34Speaker 2: So they've awoken to a koala just wandering the hallways
- 27:38Speaker 2: of their Happy Valley house. Back in my day when
- 27:41Speaker 2: I was a delivery boy, there was a couple of
- 27:43Speaker 2: times doing late night paper runs in and around the
- 27:45Speaker 2: Happy Valley area. I was driving and had kangaroos hopping
- 27:48Speaker 2: alongside me. Not across the road, but hopping alongside me.
- 27:51Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 27:53Speaker 3: Incredible. That's a great experience.
- 27:54Speaker 1: Incredible.
- 27:55Speaker 3: Wonderful, mate.
- 27:56Speaker 1: What about you, Ned?
- 27:57Speaker 3: No. Yeah, I saw a few kangaroos the other day.
- 28:01Speaker 3: It was special. I've got a fox at the moment
- 28:04Speaker 3: that's running around. I can't seem to kind of work
- 28:06Speaker 3: out what he's up to. There's one fox at the farm.
- 28:09Speaker 3: He's just always looking at me all the time. He's cunning,
- 28:11Speaker 3: this fox.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Is he getting up to things he shouldn't be?
- 28:14Speaker 3: He's a cheeky little fox.
- 28:15Speaker 4: Sheep aren't a threat. No, sheep aren't under threat by foxes,
- 28:19Speaker 4: are they?
- 28:19Speaker 3: Newborn lambs are.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Okay.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, that's okay. We don't have any newborn
- 28:23Speaker 3: lambs on the ground, but he's just a cunning little fox.
- 28:25Speaker 3: He looks at me and he says, you won't catch me.
- 28:28Speaker 3: The word nocturnal got mentioned there with that koala. I
- 28:31Speaker 3: need some help, please. 8223 0000. We've got some wonderful
- 28:36Speaker 3: wildlife kind of experts on this program. I'm talking about Kathy.
- 28:41Speaker 3: I'm talking about Linda. I'm talking about Tom. All of
- 28:44Speaker 3: these great callers, Sammy. What the heck is going on
- 28:48Speaker 3: with nocturnal, hibernation, and then bumation? Is that what it is?
- 28:55Speaker 1: This is your thing right now.
- 28:57Speaker 3: What does a snake do in winter? Where does it
- 28:59Speaker 3: go and what.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Does it do?
- 29:01Speaker 3: How does it have... So you imagine us. I mean,
- 29:03Speaker 3: we can't curl up in a ball in winter and go,
- 29:05Speaker 3: stuff this. You know, I'll have enough nutrition to get
- 29:08Speaker 3: through the winter and then when it's summer and I
- 29:10Speaker 3: can go to Aldinga Beach, I'll just wake up and
- 29:12Speaker 3: get into it. How does that work? I don't understand that.
- 29:16Speaker 3: And an animal that's nocturnal, are they active during the
- 29:18Speaker 3: night and then.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Active during the night and then during the day, do
- 29:24Speaker 3: they sleep or are they in some kind of sedated state?
- 29:28Speaker 3: I don't get it.
- 29:28Speaker 4: Are they sleeping? Isn't sedated state sleep?
- 29:32Speaker 3: If you're sedated. But if you sleep, you're fully conscious.
- 29:35Speaker 3: If you're sedated, you've got a level of consciousness that's
- 29:37Speaker 3: not there. Is that correct or not?
- 29:39Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
- 29:39Speaker 4: We'll have someone on the line who knows what we're
- 29:41Speaker 4: talking about.
- 29:41Speaker 3: Someone explain.
- 29:42Speaker 1: Snake expert, nocturnal expert.
- 29:44Speaker 3: Nocturnal, hibernation, and then it's a deeper form. Snakes and
- 29:49Speaker 3: reptiles during winter, it's an even deeper form of hibernation. Please,
- 29:54Speaker 3: if you understand all of this, I'd be desperate to
- 29:57Speaker 3: know how it all works because I think it's one
- 29:59Speaker 3: of those things that everyone kind.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Of says, don't they?
- 30:01Speaker 3: But they might not know. The intricacies of it.
- 30:04Speaker 1: Robin, good morning.
- 30:08Speaker 4: Robin's not there.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Let's go to Peter in Parra Hills. Morning, Pete. Yeah,
- 30:12Speaker 1: good morning, boys.
- 30:13Speaker 9: I bet you Sue of mine will be phoning up
- 30:15Speaker 9: straight away. She'll be on the line in the next.
- 30:18Speaker 5: Couple of seconds, I'll tell you.
- 30:19Speaker 9: Have you seen the programs for the AFL for next year?
- 30:25Speaker 3: The fixtures, Peter?
- 30:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:27Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 30:28Speaker 5: Yep.
- 30:30Speaker 9: Now, I'm not be nasty about it. But I believe
- 30:36Speaker 9: the Adelaide Crows have got a lot more Thursday and
- 30:41Speaker 9: Friday night games.
- 30:42Speaker 1: Yes, they do, Peter.
- 30:43Speaker 5: Yep.
- 30:44Speaker 9: Yeah. I only get upset about it because I believe
- 30:48Speaker 9: it gives the Crows an advantage in the FANFL.
- 30:53Speaker 5: Ah, yeah.
- 30:54Speaker 6: Yep. Yep.
- 30:54Speaker 9: Because some, they don't have to carry on players. And
- 31:00Speaker 9: I think that's a big disadvantage for Port. You're right, Peter.
- 31:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:04Speaker 9: But, I mean, the ex-AFL has also got to do
- 31:07Speaker 9: with their program on the two AFL sides, even though
- 31:11Speaker 9: they want to get out and whatever. But it does
- 31:14Speaker 9: help to have the crowd. But, as I said, it
- 31:16Speaker 9: just gives the Adelaide Crows a bigger advantage for that
- 31:20Speaker 9: and their players.
- 31:21Speaker 3: Peter, really, really good point. I think it would be
- 31:24Speaker 3: a complete afterthought in terms of the AFL, as you said.
- 31:26Speaker 3: I don't think they'd give... you know, a rat's toss
- 31:29Speaker 3: bag about what's going on there at the Sandville. But
- 31:31Speaker 3: you're right, it is an advantage.
- 31:33Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Well done, Peter.
- 31:34Speaker 4: Crow CEO Tim Silvers had his say yesterday.
- 31:36Speaker 7: To get back to Adelaide Oval, to get back to
- 31:38Speaker 7: our home, to play in front of our fans, and
- 31:41Speaker 7: also some marquee time slots. It's good for our fans,
- 31:44Speaker 7: but it's also good for our players to be on
- 31:46Speaker 7: the big stage, so it'll prepare us for finals.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Sue in Mylor.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 31:51Speaker 9: Yeah, hi, guys.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Sue, can you explain what's going on with all of
- 31:55Speaker 3: these different things?
- 31:57Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm just rushing off, but you just caught my ear.
- 32:01Speaker 17: My little hoppies are nocturnal, so they play all night
- 32:09Speaker 17: and then sleep most of the day.
- 32:11Speaker 3: The hopping mice?
- 32:12Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 32:13Speaker 3: So if something's nocturnal, they sleep during the day?
- 32:17Speaker 17: Yes, because most of the time they play at night,
- 32:22Speaker 17: not mine, but in the wild, that's how they avoid
- 32:25Speaker 17: their predators.
- 32:26Speaker 5: Ah.
- 32:27Speaker 17: So they can hop around and feed and whatever without
- 32:31Speaker 17: a lot of the birds and that that would catch them.
- 32:34Speaker 17: So that's why they tend to be more active after dusk.
- 32:39Speaker 17: I mean, mine like television. So they sort of sit
- 32:44Speaker 17: next to me on the couch in their little cage
- 32:46Speaker 17: and watch TV with me. So they're not fussed.
- 32:49Speaker 5: Right.
- 32:50Speaker 3: And what about, is it brumation and hibernation? What's the difference?
- 32:54Speaker 17: Well, hibernation is going into a status state, like we
- 33:01Speaker 17: can't do it, but a lot of animals can slow
- 33:04Speaker 17: their body temperature and they can slow their heartbeat, and
- 33:07Speaker 17: they're not actually totally asleep. They're kind of in what
- 33:10Speaker 17: is called a dorper state, which means they're sort of
- 33:16Speaker 17: partly awake. I mean, if you came across a bear
- 33:18Speaker 17: in a den and you went to pat him, he'd
- 33:20Speaker 17: be very much awake.
- 33:22Speaker 7: Hmm.
- 33:22Speaker 17: Very quickly, but they just manage to slow everything down.
- 33:27Speaker 17: They slow their breathing down, and that's how they sort
- 33:30Speaker 17: of manage to get through what we call hibernation.
- 33:34Speaker 3: Geez, they must get bored, Sue. It's not like they
- 33:35Speaker 3: have TikTok or something, do they, or Netflix?
- 33:38Speaker 17: Well, a lot of them are like bears and that.
- 33:41Speaker 17: That's when they have their babies. So when their cubs
- 33:45Speaker 17: are very small, they're all in the den together and
- 33:48Speaker 17: and they can feed the cubs. So by the time
- 33:51Speaker 17: they reemerge from the den, the cubs are big enough
- 33:54Speaker 17: and strong enough to follow mum around.
- 33:56Speaker 3: But where do they get the nutrition from, Sue, to
- 33:58Speaker 3: support their cubs?
- 34:00Speaker 17: That's why they feed up and feed up over the
- 34:03Speaker 17: summer months. They put all this weight on, as much
- 34:07Speaker 17: weight as they can, and that way they can basically
- 34:12Speaker 17: live off their fat supplies, and that keeps them going.
- 34:16Speaker 17: gives them that energy off their body fat until they
- 34:18Speaker 17: can re-emerge.
- 34:22Speaker 3: And reptiles, how does that work?
- 34:25Speaker 17: Well, actually, my friend yesterday said she actually was whippersnapping
- 34:29Speaker 17: my yard for me, and she came across a very
- 34:32Speaker 17: active brown snake in July.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all out and about now, the lizards and snakes.
- 34:36Speaker 3: I've seen a heap of them, Sue.
- 34:37Speaker 17: Yeah, so they slow down. but they don't actually go
- 34:41Speaker 17: to sleep. They just slow down. The cold slows reptiles
- 34:45Speaker 17: down because they're cold-blooded.
- 34:46Speaker 3: So, well, they just sit there, and they just go,
- 34:48Speaker 3: all right, well, we've got a couple of months.
- 34:50Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, and as the temperatures rise, their body temperature rises,
- 34:54Speaker 17: and that makes them more active, and that's when they reappear.
- 34:57Speaker 3: No wonder they're so excited slithering around now. They've been
- 35:00Speaker 3: bloody sitting still for so long.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Well done, Sue.
- 35:02Speaker 4: We'll let you get off to the op shop this morning.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Hang on, Sue.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Hang on, one more for Sue.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Robert said, what TV show do mice like?
- 35:09Speaker 4: Well, you don't have the punchline.
- 35:11Speaker 17: We watch ER and The Bold and the Beautiful.
- 35:13Speaker 3: Oh, they'd love that. They'd be hopping around like crazy.
- 35:16Speaker 17: Oh, yeah, we're great fans.
- 35:18Speaker 3: See you, Sue.
- 35:18Speaker 1: See you. Well done, Sue. Before the break, Michael and
- 35:21Speaker 1: Ross Trevor, good morning.
- 35:23Speaker 16: Woke up one morning with the... possum sitting underneath my
- 35:27Speaker 16: bedside table one night and we had a really extremely
- 35:30Speaker 16: warm night. I decided to leave the back door open
- 35:34Speaker 16: and the possum decided to walk in and take shelter.
- 35:37Speaker 16: I don't know why, but obviously found my company pretty good.
- 35:41Speaker 3: That's great. That's the beauties of living in a country-type landscape, Michael.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Well done. Well done, Michael.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Tommy Wren's just about to rock up. We're going to
- 35:48Speaker 2: get to a break, and we'll come back with him.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Rob from Clearview to take us to the break. The
- 35:52Speaker 2: koala was there to pick up something he bought on Gumtree.
- 35:56Speaker 4: Just got the wrong house.
- 35:56Speaker 2: 14 minutes to 6.
- 36:02Speaker 4: 8223 0000. Ladies in Sport next with Tommy.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast. Nine minutes
- 36:14Speaker 1: to six on this Friday.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Will and Stace with 5AA Breakfast coming up very shortly.
- 36:19Speaker 2: But for now, it's time to talk some sport.
- 36:21Speaker 1: The latest in sports with Tom Rand. Morning, Tommy.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Morning, boys.
- 36:25Speaker 3: Gee, what a week it's been.
- 36:26Speaker 4: What is going on in South Africa?
- 36:28Speaker 19: Well, it's a cracking test match, isn't it? Look, Australia's
- 36:31Speaker 19: still on top, but it's still very much a match
- 36:35Speaker 19: that the produce... would think they can win if they
- 36:38Speaker 19: could just wrestle back control for an hour or two
- 36:40Speaker 19: early on day four. So the way it stands at
- 36:43Speaker 19: the moment for those people waking up, South Africa... trailed
- 36:47Speaker 19: by 100 runs the Aussies were bowled out for 429
- 36:50Speaker 19: pretty good effort they would have liked I reckon 50
- 36:53Speaker 19: more after being four for 330 day before well done
- 36:57Speaker 19: to Josh Inglis his second test century he made 102
- 37:00Speaker 19: Alex Carey who started on 51 he got to 80
- 37:04Speaker 19: and Cooper Connolly I thought batted really well made 29
- 37:06Speaker 19: but he just ran out of partners um so the
- 37:08Speaker 19: Aussies all out Simon Harmer.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I He doesn't look that damaging, but he took four
- 37:13Speaker 1: wickets anyway.
- 37:13Speaker 19: Australia led by 100 runs. South Africa, four for 140
- 37:19Speaker 19: in their second inning. So effectively, they're four for 40.
- 37:22Speaker 19: If they can get a lead of.
- 37:23Speaker 3: 180, probably 200.
- 37:25Speaker 19: 200 you'd reckon, wouldn't you? Yeah, it's got to make
- 37:28Speaker 19: it really interesting. So the Aussies want quick wickets on
- 37:31Speaker 19: day four. South Africa just want to sort of knuckle down,
- 37:35Speaker 19: make as many runs as they can.
- 37:36Speaker 1: But you're right, Sammy, cracking test match.
- 37:38Speaker 19: This is a proper test match, and it looks like
- 37:41Speaker 19: it'll go probably into day five and right down to
- 37:44Speaker 19: the wire.
- 37:45Speaker 2: I wish we had a bit of a recording of
- 37:47Speaker 2: what we were like before day one and after day one.
- 37:51Speaker 4: What are we doing?
- 37:52Speaker 1: What are we doing?
- 37:52Speaker 4: But now it's shaping up, as you said, to be
- 37:55Speaker 4: one hell of a finish.
- 37:56Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 37:57Speaker 19: And it will be interesting to do the conditions. It's
- 37:59Speaker 19: looked like a pretty good batting wicket for the last
- 38:01Speaker 19: couple of days, but I wonder how much now those
- 38:04Speaker 19: conditions will deteriorate and is it going to affect... batting
- 38:08Speaker 19: conditions and confidence etc so we'll see if runs on
- 38:11Speaker 19: the board count for something or whether australia can get
- 38:15Speaker 19: it done look importantly um the aussies have dismissed marcus
- 38:19Speaker 19: ackerman who's only played a handful of tests but already
- 38:22Speaker 19: looks really good he made 95 in the first innings
- 38:25Speaker 19: and 62 in his second but they've got him out
- 38:27Speaker 19: nathan lyon's got a wicket uh hazelwood stark Stark's got
- 38:31Speaker 19: a couple of impacts.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Stark's well on track to being man of the match,
- 38:35Speaker 1: so he's done really nicely.
- 38:36Speaker 19: The other thing, too, that came out yesterday was the
- 38:40Speaker 19: AFL fixture in full. Ned, I'm sure you kept a
- 38:43Speaker 19: pretty close eye on that and how it's.
- 38:46Speaker 1: All sort of featured. Not surprisingly.
- 38:49Speaker 19: The Crows have got a lot of Thursday night and
- 38:52Speaker 19: Friday night games, which I'm sure is good for the
- 38:55Speaker 19: commercial department and also the fans. I think people don't
- 38:59Speaker 19: mind getting there. But seven in total, three Thursday night,
- 39:02Speaker 19: four Friday night, whereas Port have only got one Friday night.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Probably not that surprising.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Yeah, no, good call. I think the fixture was.
- 39:09Speaker 1: About right, wasn't it? Well, I think so. In terms of,
- 39:12Speaker 1: I mean.
- 39:14Speaker 19: It's a whole other discussion, but one day I'd like
- 39:16Speaker 19: to see it where you only play everyone once. Ideally,
- 39:18Speaker 19: it'd be everyone twice, but I understand you can't do that.
- 39:21Speaker 19: That's why everyone talks about fairness, but it's never going
- 39:25Speaker 19: to be fair because you don't play everyone once or twice.
- 39:28Speaker 3: I don't think the AFL pretend like, they're... Well, I
- 39:30Speaker 3: suppose they do, but they are trying to intervene and
- 39:33Speaker 3: create equality, aren't they? And they're just trying to create
- 39:36Speaker 3: the closest and most even competition they can, and the
- 39:39Speaker 3: fixture is really the most unfair thing of all time.
- 39:41Speaker 1: It's at their discretion.
- 39:42Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
- 39:43Speaker 19: Yeah, which is why you don't see sides like Collingwood
- 39:45Speaker 19: ever go to GMHBA stadium or suburban.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Grounds like that.
- 39:49Speaker 3: There'd be other leagues around the world, Rennie, who would
- 39:52Speaker 3: look at our fixture and how it's constructed and just
- 39:54Speaker 3: laugh and just go, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
- 39:57Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 39:59Speaker 19: In terms of double-up games, these are the important ones
- 40:01Speaker 19: because who are we playing twice? The Crows, they've got
- 40:04Speaker 19: Fremantle twice.
- 40:05Speaker 5: Difficult.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Geelong twice.
- 40:07Speaker 5: Again.
- 40:08Speaker 19: Historically, probably their worst side to match up on, so
- 40:11Speaker 19: that's going to be hard. Port Adelaide, of course, for
- 40:13Speaker 19: the showdowns. Melbourne, who are much improved.
- 40:16Speaker 1: Richmond. That's a good one. And then the Western Bulldogs.
- 40:20Speaker 19: So pretty difficult double-up games there for the Crows, which
- 40:23Speaker 19: is perhaps to be expected because they finished pretty.
- 40:26Speaker 1: High on the ladder.
- 40:27Speaker 3: And for Port?
- 40:28Speaker 19: Difficult for them too, considering they finished far lower. They've
- 40:32Speaker 19: got Carlton, who made the finals. Hawthorne, who made the prelim.
- 40:36Speaker 19: Melbourne as well. Then they've got Gold Coast twice. I
- 40:40Speaker 19: think they'll actually improve even though they missed the top eight.
- 40:43Speaker 19: And also West Coast twice, so that's not too bad.
- 40:45Speaker 19: But reasonably difficult there for the power so they're the
- 40:48Speaker 19: double up games for both it's one of those things
- 40:50Speaker 19: though it's so subjective you know what you think is
- 40:53Speaker 19: a difficult draw 12 or four months out from the
- 40:56Speaker 19: start of the season a month into the season might
- 40:59Speaker 19: look really positive and vice versa it's you make of
- 41:02Speaker 19: it what you will it is what it is i
- 41:04Speaker 19: suppose you just have to move on and make the
- 41:06Speaker 19: best of it but um it's out now people can
- 41:09Speaker 19: lock in their calendars up until round 15 at least,
- 41:12Speaker 19: you know, when am I going to go to Melbourne?
- 41:14Speaker 19: Will I go to Sydney for a trip or, or Brisbane,
- 41:16Speaker 19: et cetera, to, to work out when I want to
- 41:18Speaker 19: see my team play away.
- 41:19Speaker 1: And, Yeah, it's all there for people to go through now.
- 41:22Speaker 2: The Adelaide 36ers, they've got a couple of games coming up,
- 41:26Speaker 2: but most notably Sunday afternoon at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre,
- 41:29Speaker 2: they're going to be honouring the 1986 Invincibles.
- 41:32Speaker 4: The likes of Peter Alley, Al Green, Mark Davis, Mike McKay.
- 41:35Speaker 2: They're all going to be getting a championship ring out
- 41:38Speaker 2: on court, which is going to be great. It's the
- 41:39Speaker 2: first championship that the Adelaide 36ers won back in the
- 41:42Speaker 2: day because, of course, the West Adelaide Bearcats won in 1982.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Then the Bearcats and the Forestville Eagles came together, produced...
- 41:49Speaker 2: what is now the Adelaide 36ers. So it's going to
- 41:51Speaker 2: be great to see some of the legends on the court. Sadly,
- 41:54Speaker 2: we know Ken Cole passed away not too long ago,
- 41:57Speaker 2: so he won't be there. But it's going to be
- 41:59Speaker 2: great to see the legends back out on court, being
- 42:01Speaker 2: honoured in the way they should.
- 42:02Speaker 1: 40 years on. Yeah, amazing.
- 42:04Speaker 12: 40 years.
- 42:05Speaker 1: And that was an extraordinary side.
- 42:07Speaker 19: Ken Cole, you know, such a huge, larger-than-life figure when
- 42:10Speaker 19: he was in charge. And it was really the birth of,
- 42:13Speaker 19: you know, that– successful basketball era here.
- 42:17Speaker 1: In South Australia.
- 42:17Speaker 4: Apollo Stadium rocking.
- 42:18Speaker 1: It was great, wasn't it?
- 42:20Speaker 19: So that is a really nice event that they've got planned.
- 42:24Speaker 19: You're right, Sammy, for Sunday they play the Brisbane Bullets.
- 42:27Speaker 19: Before then, though, they've got New Zealand tonight in New Zealand.
- 42:29Speaker 19: They're four and five.
- 42:31Speaker 1: I think they're second to last, the Sixers, but they're
- 42:33Speaker 1: only two games off the top two.
- 42:34Speaker 19: So that was before a couple of days ago.
- 42:37Speaker 1: So they.
- 42:38Speaker 19: It's right there for them, but they need to keep
- 42:40Speaker 19: touch with those sides. So pretty important game. In fact,
- 42:43Speaker 19: really important weekend. If they split it, they're sort of
- 42:46Speaker 19: holding ground. But if they can win both, they're right
- 42:49Speaker 19: back in the mix. So a big couple of days
- 42:51Speaker 19: coming up, starting tonight in New Zealand, going to be huge.
- 42:55Speaker 5: It is.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Any karate?
- 42:55Speaker 5: No karate.
- 42:56Speaker 1: No karate. but we'll have to get some credit. What
- 42:58Speaker 1: I did see, though, well, Sarah saw it a few
- 43:01Speaker 1: days ago.
- 43:02Speaker 19: We've got a driveway at home and there's just a
- 43:05Speaker 19: massive koala just sitting in the driveway all the way
- 43:08Speaker 19: down just watching the world.
- 43:09Speaker 3: There's a lot going on in your driveway lately.
- 43:11Speaker 1: I know. Magpies, crows.
- 43:13Speaker 19: Yeah, and it was just watching the world go by
- 43:15Speaker 19: and then, That's pretty cool. And then just sort of
- 43:18Speaker 19: wandered off, not a care in the world.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 43:19Speaker 1: But I like that. You know, make yourself at home.
- 43:21Speaker 3: Kangaroo Island, the only place with chlamydia-free koalas in the world.
- 43:25Speaker 1: True fact.
- 43:26Speaker 4: That's true.
- 43:27Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 43:27Speaker 19: Now, the other thing, too, that happened was when we
- 43:30Speaker 19: lived at McGill, we were getting some renos done there,
- 43:33Speaker 19: and I was on the couch, and all the boys,
- 43:35Speaker 19: all the tradies were outside working, and I was just
- 43:37Speaker 19: lying on the couch. And I think, and anyway, I
- 43:40Speaker 19: saw this thing out the corner of my eye, and
- 43:42Speaker 19: I thought, what the hell is that? And it was
- 43:44Speaker 19: a possum, and I looked at it, and it looked
- 43:46Speaker 19: at me, and I squealed.
- 43:48Speaker 3: And the thing went running. Did you hear the start
- 43:52Speaker 3: of that sentence? He goes, when we were at McGill
- 43:54Speaker 3: and we were doing our renovations, I was sitting on
- 43:56Speaker 3: the couch and.
- 43:57Speaker 2: All of those horrid servants were doing all of the work,
- 44:02Speaker 2: this possum.
- 44:03Speaker 1: Yeah, well, look at these hands. They certainly weren't doing
- 44:05Speaker 1: any work.
- 44:06Speaker 7: No.
- 44:06Speaker 3: Rennie, we love you, mate. Great week. Thanks for everything,
- 44:09Speaker 3: and we'll see you next week.
- 44:10Speaker 1: We'll do it again on Monday. Well done, Rennie.

- 44:15Speaker 2: could almost get out of you, though, Nettie. It's been
- 44:17Speaker 2: a big week. It's been a long week.
