- 0:02Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Four out of five. Good morning. Welcome to Early Breakfast
- 0:12Speaker 2: on this Thursday morning. It's been a week, quite literally,
- 0:18Speaker 2: the 15th day of October, going for a top of
- 0:21Speaker 2: 22 degrees, mostly sunny today, and we're really warming up
- 0:25Speaker 2: for the weekend. 25 degrees Friday, 27 on Saturday, Sunday 29,
- 0:29Speaker 2: Monday 29, currently 12.2 in the city. Nettie, good morning.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Good morning, Sammy.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Good morning, high-fivers, as I work out how this microphone works. God,
- 0:41Speaker 4: it feels a bit foreign to be in here.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Doesn't it?
- 0:44Speaker 2: It's been a while.
- 0:45Speaker 3: What are these things?
- 0:46Speaker 5: Buttons?
- 0:46Speaker 2: It's been a few days.
- 0:47Speaker 4: A screen and a microphone? My goodness, this is dangerous.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Has anyone had some time off work and then they
- 0:53Speaker 4: get back and it just feels bizarre? They don't know
- 0:55Speaker 4: what they're doing?
- 0:57Speaker 2: Or is it as soon as you walk through the door,
- 0:59Speaker 2: you're like, oh, it feels like I didn't leave.
- 1:01Speaker 6: Oh.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Well, I've got a bit of that too, but It
- 1:04Speaker 3: does feel foreign, Sam.
- 1:06Speaker 4: It's good that we're doing something that isn't, you know,
- 1:08Speaker 4: like cutting timber on huge scale or something laborious that
- 1:12Speaker 4: could go wrong. I mean, the reality is if something
- 1:15Speaker 4: goes wrong, we just dump it. Or, you know, if
- 1:17Speaker 4: you say too many ordinary things, you get fired.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Yeah, very true.
- 1:20Speaker 3: No one can get hurt. Now, you've been away. You
- 1:22Speaker 3: went to Bathurst. How exciting. What a finish.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It was a finish. Before we get into that. Have
- 1:28Speaker 2: you ever had any airline horror stories, Ned?
- 1:31Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Run-ins with airlines?
- 1:33Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Planes? Anyone out there? 8223 0000?
- 1:37Speaker 4: Where's our friend Annie? Annie from Port Lincoln, you legend.
- 1:42Speaker 4: that's where you have some issues. For those travelling to
- 1:44Speaker 4: the Eyre Peninsula, you get cancellations left, right and centre,
- 1:47Speaker 4: but what are you talking about?
- 1:48Speaker 2: Monday night I was supposed to be back. Late Monday night.
- 1:51Speaker 4: No, no, no.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of this before, Ned?
- 1:54Speaker 3: Tell me.
- 1:55Speaker 2: So the inbound plane that I was going to jump
- 1:57Speaker 2: on Monday night out of Canberra, direct to Adelaide, it
- 2:00Speaker 2: was running late, which is, you take that, you're fair
- 2:02Speaker 2: and understand, things happen, you run late. So the flight
- 2:06Speaker 2: was already an hour and a half late. We all
- 2:09Speaker 2: line up to board. You know everyone? lines up straight
- 2:12Speaker 2: away to board.
- 2:13Speaker 8: Yes.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Scan my boarding pass.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:15Speaker 2: So I've been hanging around the airport probably almost two
- 2:17Speaker 2: hours now. And in front of me, a couple of
- 2:20Speaker 2: people are getting red Xs on their boarding pass and
- 2:23Speaker 2: they're told to head out to the front to see
- 2:26Speaker 2: the Virgin management.
- 2:27Speaker 9: No.
- 2:27Speaker 2: And I thought, oh, sucks to be them. Scan my
- 2:31Speaker 2: boarding pass.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Well, that's calmer for you. I mean, you.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Just have to go out and go talk to Virgin.
- 2:38Speaker 2: And I just said, Will I make it back in
- 2:41Speaker 2: time for the flight? What's wrong? Oh, you'll just have
- 2:43Speaker 2: to go out and talk to management. I walk around
- 2:45Speaker 2: to the front, and I've never heard such a thing.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Someone was sick.
- 2:51Speaker 10: Oh, no.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Vomited on the plane.
- 2:54Speaker 3: You're kidding.
- 2:54Speaker 2: On the inbound flight.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Selfish.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Right?
- 2:58Speaker 2: The ground staff cleaned the plane.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Oh, troopers.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Switched out seats and cushions and belts.
- 3:05Speaker 6: Yes.
- 3:06Speaker 2: However, the cabin staff weren't pleased. weren't happy with the
- 3:09Speaker 2: efforts and the results.
- 3:11Speaker 7: Oh, no.
- 3:12Speaker 2: So by doing that, they picked six passengers at random... No.
- 3:17Speaker 2: who had no check-in bags and said, bad luck, you're
- 3:20Speaker 2: not on the plane.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Really?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Six people at random.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Is that what happened?
- 3:24Speaker 2: That's what happened. And that started the cascade effect of
- 3:28Speaker 2: me not being able to get home for another almost
- 3:29Speaker 2: 24 hours.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Jeez, that's a bad luck story, Sammy.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So.
- 3:33Speaker 3: You've been scummed there.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Wait for it.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Oh, no, this can't get any better than this, can it?
- 3:38Speaker 2: It gets more interesting. I then thought I could go
- 3:41Speaker 2: back to my brothers, but it's quite late now. Everyone's asleep.
- 3:44Speaker 2: They've offered me free accommodation. All right, I'll take it.
- 3:46Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Got the free accommodation. They gave me cab charges to
- 3:48Speaker 2: cover it all.
- 3:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Cab charge didn't cover the entire cab.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Is that how a cab charge works? No, it was
- 3:53Speaker 3: limited to $ 30.
- 3:54Speaker 2: The cab was over $ 30 both ways.
- 3:55Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I hop back in the flight, hop back in the
- 4:02Speaker 2: cab the next morning. And as people that we are,
- 4:05Speaker 2: we can do early mornings.
- 4:06Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:06Speaker 2: So I can, a day or two, I can run
- 4:09Speaker 2: off three or four hours sleep. By the time I
- 4:10Speaker 2: got to sleep, way back up, cab was there, had
- 4:13Speaker 2: about three and a half hours sleep on the way
- 4:14Speaker 2: to the airport for a six o'clock flight.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Check my emails on the way to the airport because
- 4:19Speaker 2: I was going to go through Sydney, through to Adelaide,
- 4:22Speaker 2: home by 11 o'clock yesterday morning. Change to your flight. Oh, no.
- 4:26Speaker 2: The Sydney flight that I was hopping on was cancelled.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Again. For different reasons.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Different reasons. Never was told about this one. So. So,
- 4:38Speaker 2: I get to the airport. My new flight's come through. Originally,
- 4:41Speaker 2: it was going to be another two and a half
- 4:42Speaker 2: hour wait at the airport.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Yep.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Fly to Melbourne. Hang around for nine hours at the airport.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Fly to Adelaide. And I just thought, I'm not doing that. Oh, no. So,
- 4:51Speaker 2: I was able to weasel my way into a later flight.
- 4:54Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Out of Canberra.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Yes.
- 4:56Speaker 2: To Melbourne. To Adelaide. And by the time I got
- 4:58Speaker 2: home Tuesday night, I was absolutely buggered.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Well, you would have been.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Airline horror stories.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Airline horror stories. I don't think anyone could top that.
- 5:08Speaker 4: So just to circle back, Sammy, just to circle back,
- 5:12Speaker 4: they took six people off to restore the room.
- 5:16Speaker 2: To leave two rows free.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Yeah, because that was where the mess was.
- 5:20Speaker 2: But what I didn't understand out of all of this was,
- 5:24Speaker 2: How can the ground staff say, yeah, we've cleaned it.
- 5:26Speaker 2: It's all good to go. But then the cabin staff think, nah,
- 5:29Speaker 2: not happy with it.
- 5:30Speaker 4: There's a divide between the cabin staff and the ground staff.
- 5:34Speaker 2: So it was just a compounding of effects.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Oh, dearie me.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Then my flight out of Canberra later was delayed by
- 5:40Speaker 2: about another 45 minutes. So I thought, here we go again.
- 5:43Speaker 2: I'm stuck in and I'm starting to think about Canberra
- 5:45Speaker 2: the way you do now. I've been there too long.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Horrible place. It's just dreadful.
- 5:49Speaker 2: So that's my thoughts.
- 5:50Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Well, they're good thoughts.
- 5:52Speaker 4: You've been absolutely scunned there, Sammy.
- 5:56Speaker 3: You've been kicked up the clacker.
- 5:59Speaker 2: So that's why we didn't have early breakfast the last
- 6:01Speaker 2: few days. It was out of our control.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Well, it was, yeah.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Did you get creative, perhaps, for Mandy and the Blue
- 6:08Speaker 4: Brothers and others that like listening to the show?
- 6:11Speaker 3: Could you drive back? Did you think about hiring a car?
- 6:14Speaker 2: That crossed my mind.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Why didn't you hire a car and just drive back?
- 6:16Speaker 2: Because I'm not paying for it if they're the ones
- 6:18Speaker 2: that stuck me over.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's fair enough.
- 6:22Speaker 8: Anyway.
- 6:23Speaker 4: Airline Horror Stories, if anyone wants to jump on that conversation,
- 6:27Speaker 4: we'd love to hear it. 8223 0000, off the back
- 6:30Speaker 4: of Sammy's pretty funny, but very serious yarn. Two days
- 6:34Speaker 4: you were essentially, what would you call it, displaced?
- 6:38Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Oh, dearie me.
- 6:40Speaker 2: But, of course, I was over there for Bathurst, and
- 6:42Speaker 2: we haven't spoken about it yet. A couple of days late.
- 6:44Speaker 3: The finish.
- 6:45Speaker 2: The finish. What about Anton Di Pasquale in Team 18?
- 6:48Speaker 7: Don't bother.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Well, run it out or win it.
- 6:50Speaker 5: It's done.
- 6:50Speaker 11: It's done. He's run out of fuel.
- 6:52Speaker 7: It's done.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Brodie Kostecki goes through to the race lead on the
- 6:56Speaker 4: final lap.
- 6:57Speaker 10: And Anton Di Pasquale has run out of fuel.
- 7:01Speaker 3: It's a mountain boil over. Extraordinary scenes.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So Team 18, Anton Di Pasquale alongside Lee Holdsworth running
- 7:09Speaker 2: out of fuel. means Brodie Kostecki and South Australia's own
- 7:13Speaker 2: Toddy Hazelwood got a second win.
- 7:15Speaker 4: This is an extraordinary moment for the starry.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Dick Johnson Racing.
- 7:19Speaker 5: Brodie Kostecki and Tod Hazelwood from the.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Clouds and win the red coat for the 12,000.
- 7:25Speaker 10: The great race.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But just as much hype that's been talked about Toddy
- 7:30Speaker 2: and Brodie winning the race, even more has been spoken
- 7:33Speaker 2: about the fact that how do you run out of
- 7:35Speaker 2: fuel on the last lap of Bathurst? Especially, especially when
- 7:41Speaker 2: it was the team's decision to put that amount of
- 7:43Speaker 2: fuel in.
- 7:44Speaker 4: So was that trying to reduce time at the pits?
- 7:47Speaker 4: And then is that what happened?
- 7:49Speaker 2: So you win the race by having the shortest amount
- 7:51Speaker 2: of time spent in the pits, right?
- 7:53Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 7:53Speaker 2: And most of the time when you run out of
- 7:55Speaker 2: fuel on a racetrack, it's either... You're cutting it very
- 7:59Speaker 2: fine and you've... Or a safety car has fell. And
- 8:04Speaker 2: let's say a fuel window is 25 laps. Let's just
- 8:07Speaker 2: say that. If a safety car falls with 27 to go,
- 8:11Speaker 2: you might come in, top it up, and just conserve
- 8:14Speaker 2: and try to get to the end. These guys... came
- 8:18Speaker 2: in and elected to put an amount of fuel in.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Oh, did they?
- 8:21Speaker 2: So they didn't fill the tank. It was an amount
- 8:24Speaker 2: of fuel they elected to put in. They came out
- 8:27Speaker 2: over 10 seconds in front of the second place car.
- 8:31Speaker 2: So all they had to do to win the greatest
- 8:34Speaker 2: race in Australian motorsport is spend another second and a half.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Oh, really? Is that it?
- 8:39Speaker 2: Tops, about 3.5 litres a second goes into the car
- 8:42Speaker 2: from the fuel rigs.
- 8:43Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
- 8:44Speaker 2: So another second, second half, maybe two, you would have
- 8:46Speaker 2: had almost an eight-second lead, and you would have won
- 8:49Speaker 2: the race easily. It is the biggest stuff-up on the
- 8:52Speaker 2: greatest stage in Australian motorsport. Comical. No one's getting sacked
- 8:57Speaker 2: over this, which I find astounding, because it's not the
- 9:00Speaker 2: first time at Team 18. 2023, both cars ran out
- 9:03Speaker 2: in the last lap at Bathurst.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Wow.
- 9:05Speaker 2: They got form.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got form.
- 9:07Speaker 2: That is unbelievable. Comical of errors.
- 9:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:10Speaker 2: And it feels like it could only happen to this team.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Bathurst is great. I mean, the lead-in just takes too long,
- 9:15Speaker 3: but the finish is awesome.
- 9:18Speaker 2: But you've got to have the lead-in to have the finish.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
- 9:21Speaker 3: You've got to build it up. Could we shorten that, perhaps?
- 9:24Speaker 10: No.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Could we reduce that a little bit? How many laps
- 9:27Speaker 3: is it?
- 9:27Speaker 2: 161 laps.
- 9:28Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 9:28Speaker 2: The circuit's 6.213 kilometres long. Sammy, listen. It was the
- 9:31Speaker 2: quickest race in Bathurst history.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. How long did it take? Three days?
- 9:34Speaker 2: Five hours and 54 minutes.
- 9:35Speaker 10: Okay.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Okay.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Now listen that 2014 took eight and a half hours bathurst.
- 9:39Speaker 4: Is brilliant i actually have fond memories of being a
- 9:42Speaker 4: child and sitting through you know almost all all the
- 9:45Speaker 4: bathurst races because it was on our tv i still
- 9:48Speaker 4: like watching bathurst i can get around bathurst but the
- 9:50Speaker 4: reality is if you're not a motorsport fan you're watching
- 9:52Speaker 4: it kind of for the first few hours thinking well
- 9:55Speaker 4: you know like nothing actually is going to eventuate here
- 9:58Speaker 4: we're going to have to wait till the finish.
- 9:59Speaker 2: This is the thing right the race was a very
- 10:03Speaker 2: it was an old school endurance race with strategy so
- 10:05Speaker 2: the motorsport heads were enjoying it because they were but.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Normal people were thinking well this is going to take
- 10:11Speaker 4: ages until we get the final few laps it wasn't
- 10:13Speaker 4: full of full of crashes it wasn't everything going on
- 10:16Speaker 4: all the time, when some of them are six hours
- 10:18Speaker 4: of mayhem.
- 10:19Speaker 2: But anyway, it's a great race.
- 10:21Speaker 3: It was a great race, and the finish was remarkable.
- 10:23Speaker 4: I enjoyed watching it too, despite not being a huge
- 10:26Speaker 4: motorsport fan. My core topic off the back of it,
- 10:28Speaker 4: 8223 0000, if you're listening and you've got your own
- 10:32Speaker 4: story about running out of fuel, please jump in on
- 10:35Speaker 4: the conversation.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Has anyone ever run out of fuel in their own car?
- 10:40Speaker 4: Have you?
- 10:40Speaker 3: Has anyone limped in?
- 10:42Speaker 2: I feel like it's something you'd do.
- 10:44Speaker 3: I've never run out. I have limped. The fuel light, folks.
- 10:47Speaker 3: 8223 0000. The fuel light.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Do you know how long you can get on the
- 10:52Speaker 4: fuel light? I drove on the York Peninsula. I reckon
- 10:55Speaker 4: it was about 80 kilometres towing a three-tonne boat on
- 10:58Speaker 4: the fuel light.
- 10:59Speaker 3: You can go a lot further on that fuel light
- 11:02Speaker 3: than you think.
- 11:02Speaker 2: I think the fuel light's normally around about 100 k's,
- 11:04Speaker 2: isn't it?
- 11:05Speaker 4: But, I mean, why are they alerting us with 100
- 11:07Speaker 4: k's to go? I suppose for lunatics like me who
- 11:10Speaker 4: just pay no.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Attention to the light coming on. Maybe if you're on
- 11:12Speaker 2: Yorks and the next fuel stop isn't for another 80 k's.
- 11:14Speaker 4: I was coming back from Marion Bay, didn't fuel up there,
- 11:17Speaker 4: made a huge error. And then had to get through,
- 11:19Speaker 4: I think it's Minleton, or is it Maitland, that you
- 11:21Speaker 4: get through and you do get some fuel?
- 11:23Speaker 3: Oh, goodness gracious me, team. Any fuel horror stories? Who's
- 11:28Speaker 3: run out? 8223 0000.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Did you get the ratings for Real Talk on Saturday?
- 11:33Speaker 4: Yep.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Good lead-in from Bathurst for you?
- 11:35Speaker 3: Very good lead-in from Bathurst. I could get them up.
- 11:38Speaker 4: We did win the time slot, Channel 7 and Realtalk.
- 11:42Speaker 3: We obviously had a huge lead-in from them.
- 11:44Speaker 2: The top ten shootout, but you can look at your
- 11:46Speaker 2: numbers and have fun with that. Rosemary in Yulebury, good morning.
- 11:50Speaker 9: Oh, good morning. Glad to have you back.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, Rosemary.
- 11:54Speaker 3: You're our favourite herb.
- 11:55Speaker 9: Oh, stinkweed, I'm called. No, no, no.
- 12:00Speaker 3: How are you this morning, Rosemary?
- 12:02Speaker 9: Oh, good that you're back. So the two mornings she
- 12:06Speaker 9: went on, I slept in and nearly didn't get there
- 12:09Speaker 9: in time to pick my grandson up for taking to school.
- 12:14Speaker 9: And it was so glad to have you back. Great
- 12:19Speaker 9: stories you've got, but the race was absolutely fantastic. I
- 12:22Speaker 9: sat through the whole thing and, oh, so exciting. And
- 12:27Speaker 9: I thought, oh, be able to hear you the next morning,
- 12:30Speaker 9: you know, on the Monday. say how great it was
- 12:33Speaker 9: to be there, you know, and you weren't. But I'm
- 12:39Speaker 9: so glad you got back safely. We were all worried
- 12:41Speaker 9: about you.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Thank you, Rosemary.
- 12:44Speaker 9: Yes, and yes, I do have a fuel story, well,
- 12:47Speaker 9: a plane story anyway.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Oh, great, great.
- 12:50Speaker 9: Went to Port Lincoln on the Fokker Friendships, you know,
- 12:55Speaker 9: they are, Back in when I was about 17, I'm
- 12:57Speaker 9: now 77. Yeah, 77. And we were waiting at the airport.
- 13:05Speaker 9: We'd been over for an exhibition basketball game. And anyway, waiting, waiting, waiting.
- 13:13Speaker 9: Then they eventually told us that the plane wasn't coming
- 13:15Speaker 9: in because the wheel had fallen off when they landed
- 13:21Speaker 9: at the place before us.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Oh, dear.
- 13:23Speaker 9: And so we were back about 11 hours later, and
- 13:27Speaker 9: no mobile phones then to be able to ring my parents.
- 13:31Speaker 10: Wow.
- 13:32Speaker 9: But no, not as exciting as yours. And, you know,
- 13:36Speaker 9: running out of fuel, we actually thought that that would happen.
- 13:41Speaker 9: when they said, no problem with the fuel, no problem
- 13:44Speaker 9: with the fuel, we're just trying to save the tyres.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very interesting when they were speaking to
- 13:49Speaker 2: Adrian Burgess. He was trying to play it cool, calm
- 13:51Speaker 2: and collected, and blokes in commentary were 50-50, but Mark
- 13:55Speaker 2: Larkin in the pits, he knew straight away that he's
- 13:57Speaker 2: in trouble. We're looking at all the data. And again,
- 14:00Speaker 2: just how do you... When your number one job is
- 14:02Speaker 2: to put enough fuel in the car and you don't
- 14:04Speaker 2: do it, how do you cock that up?
- 14:05Speaker 3: It's a nightmare, Rosemary.
- 14:07Speaker 9: Ten seconds... They could have taken longer.
- 14:11Speaker 4: Yep.
- 14:11Speaker 7: And that was it.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Rosemary, thank you for the call.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Rosemary, that was a great call.
- 14:16Speaker 4: I want to know how the heck your wheel fell
- 14:18Speaker 4: off that plane. We might have to get to that
- 14:20Speaker 4: another time.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I mean, she wasn't on the plane. It was the
- 14:23Speaker 2: previous flight. I get that.
- 14:25Speaker 4: But, I mean, still, do wheels just fall off planes willy-nilly?
- 14:28Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not sure that's exactly a common occurrence.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Besides the wings and the engine, it seems like a
- 14:34Speaker 4: bit of a necessity.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Hello, Joe at Grange.
- 14:36Speaker 10: Morning, Groves. I had a horror story years back. Flying
- 14:42Speaker 10: back from Fiji after a relaxing holiday, we hit Sydney
- 14:47Speaker 10: and getting a connecting flight to Adelaide. And you know
- 14:50Speaker 10: when you're on a plane and you're about to land
- 14:53Speaker 10: and they say, all passengers flying to Adelaide, can you
- 14:57Speaker 10: please speak to ground staff? Well, it was during the
- 15:03Speaker 10: oil strike, petrol strike at the time, and they started
- 15:08Speaker 10: rescheduling flights. Anyway, when we got to the ground staff,
- 15:14Speaker 10: they directed us to Melbourne. They said, oh, we're putting
- 15:18Speaker 10: everybody on the flight to Melbourne, and then from Melbourne
- 15:21Speaker 10: you'll get a flight to Adelaide. And I scratched my head.
- 15:25Speaker 10: I said, well, they're flying us to Melbourne and then
- 15:27Speaker 10: on to Adelaide. But anyway, we got our bags, got
- 15:31Speaker 10: onto the flight, and we arrived in Melbourne. And I
- 15:35Speaker 10: said to my wife, We had our five-year-old daughter at
- 15:38Speaker 10: the time, and I said, grab the bags, grab the daughter,
- 15:45Speaker 10: and meet me at the checkout. I said, I'll get
- 15:50Speaker 10: the tickets. Anyway, we're running down to the Qantas lounge,
- 15:58Speaker 10: and you know when you're running through a corridor and
- 16:01Speaker 10: you start seeing lights switching off?
- 16:03Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 16:04Speaker 4: Anyway.
- 16:05Speaker 10: I'm running down to, and I've got about another 75
- 16:09Speaker 10: people behind me doing the same thing. And we get
- 16:12Speaker 10: to the counter, and I said to the lady, I said, look,
- 16:15Speaker 10: I'm here to get my tickets to Adelaide. And they said, Adelaide?
- 16:19Speaker 10: I said, the flight's been cancelled. I said, what are
- 16:23Speaker 10: you talking about? I said, we've just flown from Sydney
- 16:25Speaker 10: to Melbourne for a connecting flight to Adelaide, and it's cancelled.
- 16:30Speaker 10: She said, yes. She said, haven't you heard about the
- 16:33Speaker 10: fuel strike? I said, oh, we've heard about the fuel strike.
- 16:36Speaker 10: I said, but you better explain it to the other
- 16:38Speaker 10: 75 people that are right behind me. Anyway, cut a
- 16:41Speaker 10: long story short, everybody was screaming, carrying on, blah, blah, blah.
- 16:47Speaker 10: They said, we're going to put you on buses to Adelaide,
- 16:50Speaker 10: which sounded okay. You've got to remember, we started flying
- 16:53Speaker 10: at 3 o'clock in the morning. Anyway, it was about
- 16:56Speaker 10: 4 o'clock in the afternoon. when two buses roll up,
- 17:01Speaker 10: and I'm talking school buses, you know, the old school buses?
- 17:06Speaker 10: No rattling windows. So we got on the bus, and
- 17:12Speaker 10: they gave us a $ 30 voucher for meals, which was great.
- 17:18Speaker 10: I had two people in front of me, and this
- 17:21Speaker 10: lady said, George, do you think when we get to
- 17:24Speaker 10: Horsham that we'll be able to have steak? and some donuts.
- 17:31Speaker 10: And he said, yes, darling, we can. I'm sure that
- 17:35Speaker 10: Horsham Roadhouse will have it. Get to Horsham, and you're
- 17:40Speaker 10: talking now, we're probably about, during the trip, probably about
- 17:46Speaker 10: 10.30 at night, 11.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Oh, no, no donuts.
- 17:50Speaker 10: No, no, we got in there. She got her steak.
- 17:53Speaker 10: She got her donuts. I was tired. You know, you're
- 17:56Speaker 10: talking now. I was just right out of it. Got
- 17:59Speaker 10: back on the bus. It would have been about 11.30.
- 18:02Speaker 10: And now you're sleeping on upright. There's no recliners.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 18:07Speaker 10: Rattling windows.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Like a horse.
- 18:10Speaker 10: Middle of June, right? So it started to get cold
- 18:13Speaker 10: in Horsham. About 11.30, quarter to 12, she starts getting
- 18:18Speaker 10: the sugar donuts out of the bag. Now, you can
- 18:22Speaker 10: imagine everybody's trying to get some sleep. And you can
- 18:25Speaker 10: hear this sugar's like a ton of... rocks rolling around
- 18:30Speaker 10: in my head. And I said, love, please. I said,
- 18:35Speaker 10: hold off on the sugar donut.
- 18:37Speaker 2: Nice work, Joe.
- 18:38Speaker 4: We've got to quickly get to a break, I think.
- 18:41Speaker 4: But that was a great story. Joe's a good storyteller.
- 18:43Speaker 4: You could bloody sit around a campfire with Joe for
- 18:46Speaker 4: a while.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Great work, mate. Thanks for that.
- 18:47Speaker 2: 100%. 22 after 5, 8223 0000. Julie and Michael, we'll
- 18:51Speaker 2: get you after the break. Keep the calls coming.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 18:58Speaker 2: 26 after five on this Thursday morning. Brad on the
- 19:05Speaker 2: text line. Sammy, I reckon you would be hesitant to
- 19:08Speaker 2: use one of those tickets that fly you around the world,
- 19:10Speaker 2: stopping at numerous places on the way with your recent experience. Yes,
- 19:13Speaker 2: that's exactly right, Brad. Mark in Parra Hills. I ran
- 19:16Speaker 2: out of fuel on the corner of Tapless Hills and
- 19:18Speaker 2: Burbridge Road during the peak hour in the 80s. That
- 19:21Speaker 2: would have been a busy, busy time.
- 19:22Speaker 4: And that is, of course, because we are asking you
- 19:25Speaker 4: for your fuel stories. Who has ever run out of fuel?
- 19:28Speaker 4: Has anyone got a story about that? Did you limp
- 19:31Speaker 4: into a petrol station? Were you on the side of
- 19:33Speaker 4: the road? Did someone have to bring a jerry can?
- 19:36Speaker 4: That's all off the back of that famous Bathurst finish
- 19:39Speaker 4: that Sammy was at.
- 19:40Speaker 2: And as Mark said, morning high-fivers, at least your plane
- 19:42Speaker 2: didn't run out of fuel like Anton's car. You're dead right, Mark.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Mark, that'd be a shocker. Rob's there on the text line, too. Rob,
- 19:50Speaker 3: a very good morning to you, legend. I've missed you.
- 19:53Speaker 4: Another person I've missed, along with all of our wonderful
- 19:56Speaker 4: high-fiving listeners, is Julie from Tea Tree Gully.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Julie, good morning.
- 20:02Speaker 12: Good morning, boys. So lovely to have you back.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, Jules.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Now, I've got news before you get to speak.
- 20:10Speaker 3: I've got the talking stick. Now, JMS Rural Fencing, of course,
- 20:16Speaker 3: your brother-in-law. No, Sam, Sam, Sam.
- 20:19Speaker 4: I have not received $ 1 from JMS Rural Fencing.
- 20:23Speaker 3: It's actually the opposite.
- 20:24Speaker 4: Julie, you know that they are a bronze to silver
- 20:27Speaker 4: level sponsor of the program?
- 20:28Speaker 10: Yes.
- 20:30Speaker 4: Peppers Truck Wash are a platinum sponsor, Julie, and then
- 20:33Speaker 4: Bickford's are the gold level sponsor.
- 20:35Speaker 3: I just wanted to say that.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Last time I checked, sponsors, they pay.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Well, Peppers are the only ones who actually pay, but
- 20:41Speaker 4: the other ones are more of a kind of a
- 20:43Speaker 4: sweat equity type thing. Now, Julie, JMS Rural Fencing, Chad
- 20:47Speaker 4: and I have been in touch. Guess who's coming in
- 20:51Speaker 4: to knock 130 fence posts at one of my places
- 20:54Speaker 4: in December? Yeah.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Wow.
- 20:57Speaker 6: That is so cool.
- 21:00Speaker 3: That's cool. Isn't that cool, Julie? You helped me with that.
- 21:02Speaker 4: I mean, you should kind of liaise with them and
- 21:05Speaker 4: get a commission or something.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Yeah, where's he cut?
- 21:07Speaker 6: Yeah, I reckon.
- 21:09Speaker 12: Yeah, I should be mother-in-law of the year.
- 21:11Speaker 3: You are mother-in-law of the year, Julie. Now, I'm going
- 21:14Speaker 3: to stop talking. You can talk now.
- 21:15Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about?
- 21:18Speaker 12: My sister ran out of petrol in, I don't know,
- 21:22Speaker 12: she was driving a Cortina, so it was quite a
- 21:24Speaker 12: while ago, at the bottom of the subway at Goodwood.
- 21:30Speaker 13: Oh.
- 21:33Speaker 12: So it ran out and she just had to, and
- 21:35Speaker 12: there's no mobile phones or anything, she just had to
- 21:38Speaker 12: get out and walk up the subway.
- 21:42Speaker 6: And ring the RAO, find a public phone and ring
- 21:52Speaker 6: the RAO.
- 21:53Speaker 4: And they came with a Jerry, obviously, Julie.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Got her out of trouble.
- 21:56Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
- 21:57Speaker 6: Yeah, the car's not there now.
- 21:59Speaker 2: It was still there.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Thought it might have been an ornament or something. They
- 22:03Speaker 3: turned it into a bit of a landmark.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
- 22:06Speaker 12: It's a bright green Cortina. Yeah, it would have looked
- 22:09Speaker 12: a bit of a thing. Yeah, yes, I've run out
- 22:13Speaker 12: of petrol numerous times, but not... not in that type
- 22:16Speaker 12: of situation where you are stuck at the bottom of
- 22:19Speaker 12: the subway.
- 22:20Speaker 2: How did you run out of fuel yourself then? Were
- 22:22Speaker 2: you pushing the red light to its maximum or did
- 22:24Speaker 2: you have a dodgy fuel gauge?
- 22:27Speaker 6: I have this terrible.
- 22:29Speaker 12: I hate getting petrol.
- 22:33Speaker 1: I can't stand it.
- 22:35Speaker 12: So, yes, I run the gauntlet and I shouldn't. I mean,
- 22:38Speaker 12: I don't now because I've got a diesel and.
- 22:41Speaker 2: You can't run a diesel dryer.
- 22:44Speaker 12: No, no, can't run a diesel dryer at all. But, yes,
- 22:49Speaker 12: I probably want.
- 22:50Speaker 7: To be one of the worst people.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I think Julie's just gone through a tunnel.
- 22:57Speaker 4: Yeah, you've just cut out a bit there, Jules. You're
- 22:59Speaker 4: running out of fuel yourself, running on the fumes there.
- 23:02Speaker 2: Just also remember this morning, we do have a Colac
- 23:05Speaker 2: Port Adelaide voucher to give away for one of our
- 23:07Speaker 2: lucky Colas. From the relaxed buzz of bootleg social with
- 23:11Speaker 2: share plates and wood-fired pizza to premium dining or cocktails
- 23:14Speaker 2: at Waterfront Views upstairs, Colac has something for everyone. $ 50
- 23:17Speaker 2: voucher to a lucky high-fiver before 6 o'clock this morning.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Jeez Louise, a nice little prize there for the high-fivers.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Michael at Ross Trevor, hello.
- 23:29Speaker 11: It's blowing a go up in here on Norton Summit Road,
- 23:32Speaker 11: walking up to the hill.
- 23:34Speaker 6: Ah, windy.
- 23:35Speaker 11: And it's nice to have you back, boys. You know,
- 23:40Speaker 11: the absence makes the heart grow fonder to listen to
- 23:42Speaker 11: you at 5am in the morning. So good on you, crew,
- 23:46Speaker 11: 5AA crew. And Sammy, you can appreciate this being an aviator.
- 23:51Speaker 11: We had to do a ferry flight from Birdsville back
- 23:53Speaker 11: to Adelaide in a helicopter. Had to take a special
- 23:57Speaker 11: trip up there one way, thinking, oh, I'm going to
- 24:00Speaker 11: be flying back down through the Channel Country. Unfortunately, I
- 24:04Speaker 11: didn't venture it. Stuck there for a week getting service
- 24:07Speaker 11: parts and fixing it and ended up travelling back by
- 24:11Speaker 11: bus and aeroplane back to Adelaide and not using the flight.
- 24:13Speaker 2: What went wrong?
- 24:16Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 24:17Speaker 11: Something's wrong with the helicopter. This was back in the 90s.
- 24:20Speaker 11: And the other story, fuel.
- 24:22Speaker 10: Yes.
- 24:22Speaker 11: My three brothers, back in the 80s, when we were young,
- 24:26Speaker 11: we would always leave the car in the shed. We
- 24:29Speaker 11: were up in the hills. And it was always a challenge.
- 24:32Speaker 11: The last person to drive the car to leave the
- 24:34Speaker 11: minimum amount of fuel because we didn't want to spend money.
- 24:38Speaker 11: So the test was, how much can you leave in
- 24:40Speaker 11: the fuel tank for the next person without having to
- 24:42Speaker 11: put money in it? And of course, as you know,
- 24:44Speaker 11: living up in the hills, you've got to go up
- 24:46Speaker 11: and down Greenhill Road. So it was always a challenge.
- 24:49Speaker 11: Are you going to get up Greenhill Road to get
- 24:51Speaker 11: home on what's left in the tank? And enough to, say,
- 24:56Speaker 11: get to the driveway. So that was always a fun
- 24:58Speaker 11: test of knowing just how much. And, of course, that
- 25:00Speaker 11: was an XT Ford Falcon wagon. And so the fuel
- 25:05Speaker 11: gauge on those you can't really rely on. As opposed
- 25:08Speaker 11: to the modern cars like my VW, which is a 2016,
- 25:12Speaker 11: on the fuel tank, it's always a test, isn't it? Ned,
- 25:17Speaker 11: you're right about that. It seems like the empty goes
- 25:19Speaker 11: on and on and on, and I think that's the trick,
- 25:22Speaker 11: isn't it, is to push the envelope just to know
- 25:24Speaker 11: how much food you've got left. Just in case you
- 25:27Speaker 11: think there might be a service station.
- 25:30Speaker 4: Some good precautionary testing there, so you know if you
- 25:34Speaker 4: need to get out of trouble, how far you have.
- 25:36Speaker 4: I was astounded that day when I was towing three tons,
- 25:39Speaker 4: just how far I got.
- 25:40Speaker 3: I was convinced I'd run out of fuel.
- 25:42Speaker 2: What were you towing with?
- 25:43Speaker 3: A Tundra? No, it was a 79 Series Land Cruiser.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Okay.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Toyota, of course.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Of course.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Of course.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Wouldn't drive anything else.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Couldn't go anywhere.
- 25:50Speaker 4: The mighty Toyota Tundra. I tell you what, if anyone's
- 25:52Speaker 4: running out of fuel, they need to get something efficient.
- 25:55Speaker 4: The Toyota Tundra is excellent.
- 25:57Speaker 6: Is it?
- 25:57Speaker 3: It does like 10.5 litres of unleaded.
- 25:59Speaker 2: It's got electric. It's got EV, but has hybrids in it?
- 26:02Speaker 3: It's a performance hybrid, buddy.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 26:04Speaker 2: So it's not there to help the fuel. It's there
- 26:06Speaker 2: to help performance.
- 26:07Speaker 4: Yes, the Toyota Tundra is the best car I have
- 26:10Speaker 4: ever driven. That is not, I don't get any money.
- 26:13Speaker 4: It's just ridiculous.
- 26:15Speaker 3: I love Toyotas. My first dream car was a 79 Series,
- 26:19Speaker 3: then I got a 300. Anyway, now I'm rambling. Julie
- 26:22Speaker 3: from Blakeview, hello to you. Good morning.
- 26:27Speaker 13: Welcome back, Sammy.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Thank you, Jules.
- 26:29Speaker 4: What about me?
- 26:32Speaker 9: Give me a chance, Ned.
- 26:33Speaker 13: Welcome back, Ned.
- 26:34Speaker 3: Thank you, Julie.
- 26:35Speaker 6: Hello.
- 26:36Speaker 9: Nice to meet you, guys.
- 26:37Speaker 13: Miss you guys all week. It's very boring in the mornings,
- 26:40Speaker 13: but now that we have you back, and I've never
- 26:43Speaker 13: run out of fuel, but no, just ringing up to
- 26:47Speaker 13: say welcome back. Nice to have cheery people on the
- 26:51Speaker 13: air at 5 o'clock in the morning.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Well, Julie, that's very kind, and we appreciate talking to
- 26:57Speaker 4: you along with anyone. So that's what we kind of
- 27:00Speaker 4: aim to do, don't we? Five o'clock we get started,
- 27:02Speaker 4: go through until six. We just try and have some fun,
- 27:04Speaker 4: get everyone up and about in the morning, Jules. It's
- 27:06Speaker 4: like an alarm clock, you know, like, come on, get up.
- 27:10Speaker 13: But I never use an alarm clock anyway. I just
- 27:13Speaker 13: have a natural... ability to be able to wake up
- 27:16Speaker 13: whenever I need to, so I never use an alarm clock.
- 27:19Speaker 12: What do you mean?
- 27:21Speaker 4: Hang on, what if you have to get up really,
- 27:22Speaker 4: really early? You don't set an alarm clock, Jules?
- 27:24Speaker 13: No, no.
- 27:26Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
- 27:27Speaker 13: I know if I have to get up, my body
- 27:29Speaker 13: clock just tells me that I have to be up
- 27:32Speaker 13: at a certain time.
- 27:33Speaker 12: It just knows.
- 27:34Speaker 13: Yeah, I've always been like that. Yeah, I don't have
- 27:36Speaker 13: any problems waking.
- 27:39Speaker 10: Up at all.
- 27:40Speaker 13: My body clock is I don't know if it's in
- 27:43Speaker 13: my brain, like I have to be up at whatever time,
- 27:45Speaker 13: so I just wake up and, yeah, it's really good
- 27:47Speaker 13: to be like that.
- 27:48Speaker 10: Amazing.
- 27:49Speaker 13: Not everybody's like it, but, yeah, I'm a morning person.
- 27:54Speaker 13: I've always got up early and, yeah, I think once
- 27:58Speaker 13: you are in that rhythm, you just normally do it. But, yeah,
- 28:03Speaker 13: the last few mornings, it's been very quiet.
- 28:05Speaker 10: No way.
- 28:06Speaker 13: I haven't been able to say good morning to Grandma McHenry. Yes,
- 28:11Speaker 13: it's a very strange week this week. Some people do
- 28:13Speaker 13: anything to get an extra day or so off, won't they?
- 28:16Speaker 3: Yeah, even fake an aeroplane not being able to take off. Jules,
- 28:20Speaker 3: I like it.
- 28:20Speaker 4: A cynic like myself, I don't trust him. I don't
- 28:23Speaker 4: trust him as far as I could throw him. Gary
- 28:26Speaker 4: from Salisbury, g'day to you.
- 28:28Speaker 7: I've got a flight story for you.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Go on, Gary.
- 28:31Speaker 3: Give it to us.
- 28:33Speaker 7: Daughter's boyfriend couple years ago in Queensland had massive storms.
- 28:37Speaker 7: He was booked to fly home from Queensland. to Adelaide
- 28:40Speaker 7: via Melbourne. The Queensland flight got delayed, got to Melbourne late,
- 28:44Speaker 7: missed the flight, spent the night in Melbourne. Mind you,
- 28:48Speaker 7: he was only 18 at the time. So we flew
- 28:50Speaker 7: into Melbourne, spent the night in Melbourne, and the next
- 28:53Speaker 7: day they're flying back to Adelaide via Canberra, Sydney, back
- 28:58Speaker 7: to Adelaide. It took me 31 hours to get home.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness, Gary.
- 29:02Speaker 7: Four flights, four states.
- 29:05Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
- 29:06Speaker 3: That is crazy.
- 29:08Speaker 4: And so no kind of any compensation at all for
- 29:11Speaker 4: your time or anything?
- 29:12Speaker 7: I think you've got, like, nothing. Just basically a hotel
- 29:16Speaker 7: in Melbourne and $ 30.
- 29:17Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 29:18Speaker 7: Like, time to eat the next day.
- 29:19Speaker 4: Gary, I actually think you are leading our Colac voucher.
- 29:23Speaker 2: At the moment. I just wrote Gary's name down for that.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Did you?
- 29:27Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Well and truly in the running for.
- 29:28Speaker 2: That $ 50.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Voucher, Gary.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Thanks for calling in. Anyone can continue to do that
- 29:35Speaker 4: right up until 6, can't we? Phone lines will be open.
- 29:37Speaker 3: They're always open.
- 29:37Speaker 4: They are. What about Cathy, our bird nerd? Kathy, you
- 29:41Speaker 4: love birds, and we love you for loving birds. Any
- 29:44Speaker 4: bird questions, they can go through Kathy. They don't need
- 29:47Speaker 4: to go through us. Welcome back from a high five.
- 29:49Speaker 4: I missed you big time, says Kath.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Well, Kath, we missed you.
- 29:52Speaker 2: John and Glenelg, morning, guys. I ran out of fuel
- 29:54Speaker 2: into Coober Pedy. We rolled into the fuel station, stopping
- 29:58Speaker 2: 30 metres short. My mates were there already, so they
- 30:00Speaker 2: pushed me in until the local kids started throwing rocks
- 30:03Speaker 2: at them. It was a long process, but we eventually
- 30:07Speaker 2: filled up again.
- 30:08Speaker 10: John.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Okay.
- 30:09Speaker 2: John?
- 30:10Speaker 4: Hang on.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Is that the shame you get for running out of fuel?
- 30:13Speaker 4: What?
- 30:13Speaker 3: You get stoned.
- 30:17Speaker 4: But the kids, were they just sitting there for days?
- 30:19Speaker 4: Were they just waiting for someone until they had run
- 30:21Speaker 4: out of fuel?
- 30:21Speaker 2: He's our guy.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Justify throwing a couple of rocks at them. That's cheeky.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Very good.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Well, keep your flight stories coming through and keep your
- 30:30Speaker 4: fuel stories coming through. They've all been excellent, haven't they?
- 30:34Speaker 4: Have we got to get to a break?
- 30:35Speaker 2: We do in a second. One thing else I do
- 30:36Speaker 2: want to touch on that we have missed over the
- 30:38Speaker 2: last few days was from the South Africa test between
- 30:42Speaker 2: Australia and South Africa. It's made its way all around online.
- 30:47Speaker 2: Mark Howard. The lunch break a couple of days ago,
- 30:52Speaker 2: the poor lady who was hosting had a bit of
- 30:54Speaker 2: a mental block. And I am in.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Some good company.
- 30:58Speaker 7: I've got Kaya Zondo and the Australian man.
- 31:02Speaker 12: Good to have you join us.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Mark Howard's been all over social media saying just how
- 31:06Speaker 2: she was really worried about it, but she's blown up
- 31:08Speaker 2: and gone viral here in Australia. Made me think, it's
- 31:11Speaker 2: such an Australian thing to have a nickname made for you.
- 31:16Speaker 2: When you get a nickname in Australia, it's not what
- 31:18Speaker 2: you want, it's just what you get. I know you've
- 31:21Speaker 2: got one. I don't know if you want to talk
- 31:22Speaker 2: about it.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Which one?
- 31:23Speaker 2: Aren't you alpaca or something?
- 31:24Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no.
- 31:25Speaker 2: There we go. I've got one, and it's related to
- 31:28Speaker 2: Bathurst again, and it goes back to just one person
- 31:32Speaker 2: still calls me this.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:34Speaker 2: So 2010 Bathurst, I'm chopping up firewood to get the
- 31:36Speaker 2: fire going. I put the axe through my hand. Oh, no.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I end up going to Orange Hospital, getting surgery.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Orange?
- 31:42Speaker 2: Yep. A lot was going on. Back to basketball, the
- 31:47Speaker 2: team then started calling me Axe.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Oh, do they?
- 31:51Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:52Speaker 2: To this day, one of my closest mates from basketball,
- 31:54Speaker 2: whenever I see him, it's always Axe. Yeah, that's great.
- 31:56Speaker 2: My nickname is Axe because I put an axe through
- 31:58Speaker 2: my hand.
- 31:59Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Well, are you asking our listeners to give us their
- 32:02Speaker 4: stories about how they developed a nickname?
- 32:03Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 32:03Speaker 2: How'd you get a nickname that you got stuck with?
- 32:05Speaker 2: I like that.
- 32:06Speaker 3: I like that a lot.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Do you have one?
- 32:08Speaker 3: I got called something, yeah, at footy. It's early.
- 32:12Speaker 2: You can share it.
- 32:13Speaker 3: No, it's not too bad.
- 32:14Speaker 4: I just got called Nipper because they always used to
- 32:16Speaker 4: call me Nipper, all the physios and all the staff
- 32:18Speaker 4: and all the players and stuff because I used to
- 32:19Speaker 4: just nip around all the time.
- 32:20Speaker 2: That was Tim Ginn of his nickname at Port Adelaide.
- 32:23Speaker 2: He still gets called Nip. Really?
- 32:25Speaker 9: Yep.
- 32:25Speaker 10: Why?
- 32:25Speaker 3: Because he used to nip around.
- 32:27Speaker 2: I assume so.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 32:28Speaker 2: So if you remember when we went on that fishing
- 32:29Speaker 2: day a year or two ago and we did the
- 32:31Speaker 2: drive show on the boats, The Port Adelaide players that
- 32:35Speaker 2: were with us on the boat. Hey, Nip.
- 32:37Speaker 10: Nip.
- 32:37Speaker 3: Did they really?
- 32:38Speaker 2: He still gets called Nipper.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Isn't that funny? Well, I suppose Timmy and I are
- 32:41Speaker 3: both a bit loud and boisterous.
- 32:44Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 32:45Speaker 3: So that's a good one.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Nickname.
- 32:46Speaker 3: How did you develop a nickname? What's the backstory? How
- 32:49Speaker 3: did it happen? How did it stick? And you're right.
- 32:51Speaker 3: In Australia, if you don't like a nickname.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Don't say anything because you're going to get stuck with
- 32:55Speaker 2: it for life.
- 32:56Speaker 3: It's going to be even worse. Wojo. He says, thought
- 32:59Speaker 3: he was Cockles McHenry. Wojo always used to call me Cockles.
- 33:02Speaker 3: Since when do you text into this program, Wojo?
- 33:04Speaker 4: I can't remember Wojo texting us. Is that the first
- 33:07Speaker 4: time you've ever texted in? I absolutely love you, Wojo. Sean,
- 33:12Speaker 4: oh my gosh.
- 33:15Speaker 3: That text, Sean, is very funny.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Hey, Nettie, you must be excited that your mate Nick
- 33:20Speaker 2: Murray is staying in Adelaide. Sean in Hill Bay.
- 33:22Speaker 3: He didn't say excited.
- 33:23Speaker 2: No, he didn't.
- 33:24Speaker 4: He used certain sexual references.
- 33:26Speaker 2: We don't have to go on.
- 33:27Speaker 3: Blood going to a certain.
- 33:28Speaker 6: Area of your body.
- 33:28Speaker 8: There we are.
- 33:29Speaker 2: There you go.
- 33:30Speaker 4: Sure no, you rascal, you scallywag. I'm going to go
- 33:33Speaker 4: through everything to do with that Nick Murray trade. I
- 33:36Speaker 4: was with him yesterday when it was all going down.
- 33:38Speaker 4: That's all coming up in sport.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Tommy Wren's got a couple of days off, so we
- 33:42Speaker 2: will be joined by Corey Norris. He'll jump in to
- 33:44Speaker 2: Tommy Wren's small shoes, but we'll have a chat to
- 33:46Speaker 2: him about trade period and everything going on in the
- 33:48Speaker 2: sporting world. But you can keep your calls coming until
- 33:50Speaker 2: six o'clock. 8223 0000. Airline horror stories, nicknames you've got,
- 33:54Speaker 2: times you've run out of fuel. Colac put Adelaide Voucher
- 33:57Speaker 2: up for grabs before six.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA early breakfast.
- 34:03Speaker 2: 15 minutes to six on this Thursday. Stacey and Will
- 34:08Speaker 2: coming up for 5AA breakfast after six o'clock. Going for
- 34:11Speaker 2: a top of 22 degrees in Adelaide today. Currently 11.8,
- 34:15Speaker 2: but time to talk some sport. Tommy Rennie's off. So
- 34:18Speaker 2: we're joined by Corey Norris. Corey, good morning.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Good morning, Sam.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. No, thanks for coming in.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Yeah, it was brilliant.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Big day in trade period yesterday.
- 34:26Speaker 8: Yeah, the frantic final few minutes of that trade period.
- 34:29Speaker 8: And we saw North Melbourne desperately trying to get hold
- 34:32Speaker 8: of their man, Nick Murray, in those final few minutes.
- 34:34Speaker 8: And yeah, well, the Crows, they just held firm, didn't they?
- 34:38Speaker 8: Didn't want to let their man go. that they believed
- 34:41Speaker 8: that they needed that defensive cover, so denied Nick Murray
- 34:46Speaker 8: his wish to get to North Melbourne.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Yeah, so to the Crows' credit, they did hold strong
- 34:52Speaker 4: and they stayed true to their word. So they said
- 34:54Speaker 4: if they could get a pick inside the top 20
- 34:56Speaker 4: of this year's draft, they'd do it. North Melbourne obviously
- 34:59Speaker 4: looked to do that and move some picks around to
- 35:02Speaker 4: get a pick inside the top 20.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Couldn't do it. offered a bundle of picks, didn't they, Corey?
- 35:06Speaker 3: So it was a pretty comfortable offer.
- 35:07Speaker 8: Yeah, including pick 33 and 49 and a future first-round pick. Look,
- 35:13Speaker 8: there's a lot of people saying that was a pretty
- 35:15Speaker 8: generous offer and thought that the deal probably should have
- 35:18Speaker 8: got done, but I can understand why the Crows held firm.
- 35:22Speaker 8: Nick Murray still contracted for another two years.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Yeah, well said. I think it was a strong bundle
- 35:26Speaker 3: of picks.
- 35:27Speaker 4: Ultimately wasn't strong enough to remove that defensive depth.
- 35:31Speaker 3: From the Adelaide Crows. So he'll go on and play
- 35:33Speaker 3: there next year. Yeah, absolutely.
- 35:35Speaker 8: And look, if there is an injury to a Keane
- 35:39Speaker 8: or to a Borlase, then you will need Nick Murray.
- 35:42Speaker 8: And there's a lot of people that probably feel like
- 35:43Speaker 8: he still, at his best, is in Adelaide's best 23.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Would that be fair, Nick?
- 35:48Speaker 4: Yeah, I certainly think so. He certainly feels that he
- 35:50Speaker 4: can play AFL footy. And that's the tricky one. Like
- 35:52Speaker 4: Jack on the text line.
- 35:54Speaker 2: I love Jack. He's a farmer.
- 35:55Speaker 3: He's got a farm near Moonta, doesn't he? Moonta Bay,
- 35:57Speaker 3: I reckon you do, Jack.
- 35:58Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 35:58Speaker 3: Well, he'd probably crop.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Anyway, he said, Ned, Murray signed a contract, has two
- 36:02Speaker 4: years left. Instead of complaining, get him to do a
- 36:05Speaker 4: ball-laced head-down successful come.
- 36:07Speaker 3: Jack, you're right in some sense, no doubt.
- 36:09Speaker 4: You sign a contract, you make a commitment, and that's
- 36:12Speaker 4: well and good.
- 36:13Speaker 3: He is really, really excited.
- 36:14Speaker 4: To return to the club, loves Adelaide, loves the footy club,
- 36:17Speaker 4: no issue there. But you can understand that if a
- 36:19Speaker 4: footy club comes to you and goes, hey, we want
- 36:21Speaker 4: you to be a part of our AFL side, You're
- 36:24Speaker 4: playing twos at another team, and you're going to get
- 36:27Speaker 4: more years, more money. I mean, you're crazy not to
- 36:29Speaker 4: go and entertain it and try and get there.
- 36:32Speaker 3: Absolutely. But that's just reality, isn't it? I don't think
- 36:34Speaker 3: anyone could quiz him for wanting to do it. It
- 36:37Speaker 3: didn't go through.
- 36:37Speaker 4: So head down, bum up, as you said, Jack, at
- 36:40Speaker 4: the Adelaide Crows.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Another one in SA, Luke Pedler.
- 36:43Speaker 8: Luke Pedler, well, this is an amazing one. He becomes
- 36:45Speaker 8: just the eighth player to make that crosstown move. Now,
- 36:47Speaker 8: the power receives Pedler and pick 34 points. And gives
- 36:51Speaker 8: Adelaide pick 32 and a future fourth-round selection. I think
- 36:55Speaker 8: the big issue with Luke Pedler is his body at
- 36:57Speaker 8: the moment. If Port can get his body right, he's
- 37:00Speaker 8: going to be a very important player.
- 37:02Speaker 3: For that club. Yeah, well said.
- 37:03Speaker 4: Can anyone call up 8223 0000 and name every player
- 37:07Speaker 4: that's done the Crosstown rival move?
- 37:10Speaker 3: Port and Crows.
- 37:11Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
- 37:12Speaker 4: Colac Voucher, if you can get that cranking, we'll find
- 37:15Speaker 4: a voucher for you.
- 37:16Speaker 2: You might just give a Colac Voucher away to somebody
- 37:18Speaker 2: who can Google right now.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, true.
- 37:19Speaker 4: No, Gary from Salisbury is getting a voucher. Corey, they
- 37:23Speaker 4: let Luke Peddler go for a packet of chips. I
- 37:25Speaker 4: reckon Crows fans will be listening going, what the heck?
- 37:28Speaker 3: Yeah, so the power receives, yeah, Peddler picked 34 and
- 37:30Speaker 3: gives Adelaide.
- 37:31Speaker 8: pick 32 and that future fourth, as I mentioned before.
- 37:34Speaker 3: That is, yeah, that's probably, yeah, like you say, a
- 37:37Speaker 3: pack of the chips.
- 37:38Speaker 8: But the big concern has been his body.
- 37:40Speaker 3: And he hasn't played, I guess, a lot of footy
- 37:42Speaker 3: in the last couple of years.
- 37:43Speaker 8: So if he can get that right and whether– do
- 37:48Speaker 8: you see him as a midfielder, Ned?
- 37:49Speaker 3: Do you think he can– you know, break into that
- 37:52Speaker 3: Port Adelaide midfield?
- 37:52Speaker 4: I think he's got the potential to play a midfield
- 37:55Speaker 4: if he's fit and if he builds up his aerobic base.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Like, he's got a lot of talent, Peds. I played
- 37:59Speaker 3: a lot of footy with him. He's strong. He can
- 38:01Speaker 3: break tackles. He's dynamic. He kicks goals. So, no doubt
- 38:04Speaker 3: he could be.
- 38:05Speaker 4: But as you know, Corey, and everyone listening knows, your
- 38:08Speaker 4: midfield is made up of your three or four best players. So,
- 38:11Speaker 4: for him to play midfield, he's got to kick a,
- 38:13Speaker 4: you know, who is it?
- 38:14Speaker 3: A Rosie? Is it a Horn Francis? So, those two
- 38:16Speaker 3: are locks.
- 38:16Speaker 4: There's only one other spot or, you know, maybe two
- 38:18Speaker 4: other spots with the rotation.
- 38:20Speaker 10: So.
- 38:20Speaker 4: It's the most competitive area of the ground to play
- 38:23Speaker 4: in at AFL level because the best players play there.
- 38:25Speaker 3: Do you think Sir Harford will be his role?
- 38:27Speaker 4: I'd imagine he'd start with the forwards, yeah, with the
- 38:30Speaker 4: hope to probably move into a midfield rotation, yeah.
- 38:32Speaker 3: Well done.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Thank you, Corey.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Thank you, guys. Corey, that was so much better than Rennie.
- 38:36Speaker 2: Yeah, Rennie, watch out, mate. You never take a day
- 38:39Speaker 2: off in the media, Tommy. He should know that by now. Yeah,
- 38:41Speaker 2: he's playing golf too. Of course he is.
- 38:43Speaker 3: What a joke.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Of course he is. Thank you, Corey. We'll catch you tomorrow.
- 38:46Speaker 2: On the text line, a few coming in. I was
- 38:48Speaker 2: wondering where this person was. I was getting a bit concerned.
- 38:51Speaker 2: I was going to send out an alert for her,
- 38:53Speaker 2: but Mandy and the Blue Brothers. Good morning, Ned and Sam.
- 38:56Speaker 2: I hope you're both well and had a good break,
- 38:58Speaker 2: but don't do that again. Of course, this morning I
- 39:01Speaker 2: slept in. Mandy and the Blue Brothers.
- 39:05Speaker 13: There it is.
- 39:05Speaker 3: That's to those beautiful blue brothers.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Give them a pat for me, Mandy, and give yourself a... Actually, no,
- 39:10Speaker 4: you don't have to give yourself a pat. That would
- 39:12Speaker 4: be probably quite undermining as a human.
- 39:14Speaker 2: Rob from Clearview. Did the Nick Murray deal include, say,
- 39:17Speaker 2: pick 14 for Nick, and he gets to bring his
- 39:20Speaker 2: roommate across with him?
- 39:22Speaker 3: Oh, what about this, Rob?
- 39:23Speaker 4: So he's packed up all his stuff. I can give
- 39:25Speaker 4: you a bit of insight now.
- 39:26Speaker 7: Really?
- 39:27Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 39:28Speaker 8: No.
- 39:29Speaker 3: Muzz has packed up all his stuff. It's all in boxes.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Well, that's because... Hang on.
- 39:34Speaker 4: He's applied for rentals in Melbourne. I got my house
- 39:36Speaker 4: for sale.
- 39:37Speaker 2: That's what I thought.
- 39:38Speaker 4: Everything's changing. I'm thinking I'm losing my best mate. He's
- 39:41Speaker 4: gone to me yesterday as we're driving home.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Oh, no.
- 39:43Speaker 3: He goes, mate, do you have any room at the
- 39:45Speaker 3: new place?
- 39:45Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:47Speaker 3: I said, go and get stuffed, mate.
- 39:49Speaker 4: You were going to leave me. I said, seriously, you'll
- 39:52Speaker 4: be out on the streets. Good luck to him finding
- 39:55Speaker 4: a rental.
- 39:55Speaker 3: I won't be helping.
- 39:56Speaker 2: That'll be a fair hike to Featherton every day.
- 39:58Speaker 4: Mate, he's not going to be living with me in
- 40:00Speaker 4: my beautiful place out at Mount Pleasant.
- 40:01Speaker 3: Not a chance. He tried to desert us. I'll get
- 40:06Speaker 3: in trouble for that. Get to a break.
- 40:09Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
- 40:17Speaker 2: Five minutes to six on this Thursday. Will and Stace
- 40:20Speaker 2: for 5AA Breakfast. Not too far away. Got a couple
- 40:22Speaker 2: of minutes for still some coals.
- 40:24Speaker 1: 8223 0000.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Airline horror stories we've been talking about. Times you've run
- 40:29Speaker 2: out of fuel or even a nickname that may have
- 40:31Speaker 2: been assigned to you and you're not too... keen on
- 40:34Speaker 2: it we've got a colac port adelaide voucher to give
- 40:36Speaker 2: away in the next few minutes netty.
- 40:38Speaker 4: Yeah well what about my thing as well if you
- 40:40Speaker 4: can call up and name all the players that have
- 40:42Speaker 4: done the crosstown move port adelaide adelaide or vice versa
- 40:46Speaker 4: um we'll give you something i don't know what maybe
- 40:47Speaker 4: a voucher or a prize if we can swindle one
- 40:50Speaker 4: budgets are low at the moment um Brett Chalmers, Rory Atkins,
- 40:53Speaker 4: Luke Pedler, Ian Downsborough, Matthew Bowie, Brad Symes, Billy Frampton.
- 40:58Speaker 3: There they all are.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Okay, so now what you've just done is put a
- 41:02Speaker 2: call out for people to call in, but you've just
- 41:04Speaker 2: given away the answers.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Well, it shows the call is right. I beat you
- 41:06Speaker 3: to it.
- 41:06Speaker 2: You're not getting the voucher.
- 41:08Speaker 3: Too slow, team. You guys are turtles. I'm a rabbit.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Looking out at Hindmarsh Square at the moment, folks, still dark.
- 41:14Speaker 3: That's daylight savings for you.
- 41:16Speaker 2: Annoying.
- 41:17Speaker 4: Is there any words that just drive you up the
- 41:19Speaker 4: Richter scale?
- 41:20Speaker 2: The Richter scale? Interesting.
- 41:23Speaker 4: That's a noise metric, isn't it? That's how you measure noise,
- 41:25Speaker 4: the Richter scale? Or is that vibration like earthquakes and stuff?
- 41:30Speaker 10: Yes.
- 41:31Speaker 4: Yeah. But that'd still be noise. Noise can still create vibration.
- 41:34Speaker 2: It can, but I'm pretty sure it's more designed for.
- 41:37Speaker 3: For Richter scale, for earthquakes, et cetera.
- 41:39Speaker 2: 8223 0000, if you can correct either Ned or myself.
- 41:43Speaker 3: It must be for earthquakes.
- 41:44Speaker 2: It is for earthquakes.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Noise would be a part of that. Yeah, but it's... Jeez,
- 41:47Speaker 3: I'm just.
- 41:47Speaker 2: A wealth of knowledge. Yeah, let's just go to Hindmarsh
- 41:49Speaker 2: and Ian. Good morning, Ian.
- 41:50Speaker 6: Oh, I'm not even finished speaking. Hello, Ian.
- 41:53Speaker 5: Good night, lads. How are we?
- 41:55Speaker 3: How are you, legend?
- 41:56Speaker 5: You forgot the biggest guy ever who left Port Adelaide
- 42:01Speaker 5: And end up winning two Norm Smith medalists. Go. Andrew McLeod.
- 42:09Speaker 3: Andrew McLeod was at Port Adelaide, was he?
- 42:10Speaker 8: No, he wasn't.
- 42:12Speaker 10: Yes, he was.
- 42:12Speaker 7: Really?
- 42:13Speaker 13: Yes, he was.
- 42:15Speaker 6: When?
- 42:15Speaker 9: Explain that to me.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 42:16Speaker 5: No wonder they got rid of you. And I won't
- 42:22Speaker 5: tell you my nickname is Diesel for one apparent reason.
- 42:26Speaker 5: I run out of diesel.
- 42:28Speaker 2: When did you run out of diesel?
- 42:29Speaker 3: Makes a bit of sense, Ian, doesn't it?
- 42:31Speaker 5: Back in the 80s, up in the Pilbara. I won't
- 42:33Speaker 5: say any more.
- 42:35Speaker 2: So was this a one-time occurrence? He ran out of
- 42:37Speaker 2: diesel and he's been stuck with the name ever since?
- 42:40Speaker 5: No, three times.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Oh, mate, you can't be running out three times.
- 42:44Speaker 5: Three times.
- 42:45Speaker 4: So Andrew McLeod won a Sample Premiership at Port Adelaide
- 42:47Speaker 4: and started his career there in the Port Adelaide Sample.
- 42:51Speaker 5: There you go.
- 42:53Speaker 4: Ian, holy moly, did you not think that maybe I
- 42:55Speaker 4: just left him out to maybe inside a caller? Seriously,
- 42:58Speaker 4: that's radiocraft, buddy. One all, my friend. He was at
- 43:05Speaker 4: the Magpies, not the Power Jacks, Ed, too. Now, Jack
- 43:08Speaker 4: is our farmer from Moonta Bay. Jack, how is it
- 43:11Speaker 4: over at Moonta Bay?
- 43:11Speaker 3: Text in again.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Well, how many names of those did you read out
- 43:14Speaker 2: that were Magpie players who played for the Crows, too?
- 43:16Speaker 3: That were, yeah, there was heaps of them.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 43:18Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was just a quick Google in the break.
- 43:21Speaker 4: Now, before Ian called in, I was on a bit
- 43:24Speaker 4: of a rampage about things.
- 43:25Speaker 3: Did we get an answer to the Richter scale?
- 43:28Speaker 2: It's for earthquakes, Ned. Google it. I don't have to.
- 43:30Speaker 2: I went to school.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Decibels for noise. Raymond, yes? Yeah, I think you're right. Decibel,
- 43:36Speaker 3: that would be a noise metric. God, everyone, see, they're
- 43:39Speaker 3: so knowledgeable, the text line. Sammy, a word that's really
- 43:43Speaker 3: ticking my ticker.
- 43:43Speaker 2: It's good to be back.
- 43:44Speaker 3: Yeah, a word that's ticking my ticker.
- 43:46Speaker 2: What's yours?
- 43:46Speaker 3: Fascinating.
- 43:48Speaker 10: Oh.
- 43:49Speaker 3: In the media, I tell you what, every clown.
- 43:52Speaker 2: I hear Will Goodings say fascinating quite a bit.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Will Goodings is smart. That's fine.
- 43:56Speaker 4: He's a smart guy, Will Goodings. You give him a topic,
- 43:59Speaker 4: he'll talk about it.
- 44:00Speaker 2: We should do a thing, actually.
- 44:01Speaker 4: This would be a really good breakfast thing if I
- 44:03Speaker 4: was a producer. I would get a big hat.
- 44:06Speaker 6: What?
- 44:07Speaker 3: Why is everyone looking at me in the studio?
- 44:08Speaker 2: Because the breakfast producer is currently looking at you.
- 44:10Speaker 4: I would get a hat, and I would have lots
- 44:12Speaker 4: of different topics in it, just across a diverse range
- 44:16Speaker 4: of different things.
- 44:17Speaker 3: Not brief Will on it.
- 44:18Speaker 4: He pulls something out of a hat, and then has
- 44:21Speaker 4: to speak for a certain amount of time about it.
- 44:22Speaker 2: This sounds like... Have you ever watched the show Whose
- 44:25Speaker 2: Line Is It Anyway?
- 44:26Speaker 9: No.
- 44:26Speaker 2: Scenes from a hat?
- 44:27Speaker 7: No.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Sounds like you ripped that off.
- 44:29Speaker 4: No, well, that's my segment, and I think Will would
- 44:30Speaker 4: be good at it.
- 44:31Speaker 3: Can I please finish before being interrupted?
- 44:33Speaker 2: You've got a minute.
- 44:34Speaker 4: Go. Now the word fascinating is being overused by people.
- 44:39Speaker 4: It is the buzzword at the moment. Everyone says everything's fascinating.
- 44:42Speaker 4: I mean, something has to be really interesting for it
- 44:44Speaker 4: to be fascinating. The only thing I find fascinating is
- 44:48Speaker 4: the intricacies of feedlotting lambs.
- 44:49Speaker 3: Everything else is uninteresting compared to that.
- 44:52Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's you.
- 44:53Speaker 3: That's the only thing that I find fascinating.
- 44:55Speaker 4: Now people are saying, look, I think it's just fascinating
- 44:58Speaker 4: as to what the Adelaide city council are going to
- 45:01Speaker 4: do about the city. It's not fascinating, folks. I mean,
- 45:03Speaker 4: it's interesting, but fascination is like everything. You're just craving
- 45:08Speaker 4: any level of understanding about it. Your body is shaking
- 45:12Speaker 4: to know what's going on. Stop using that word, please, everyone.
- 45:16Speaker 3: You can if you want, actually.
- 45:17Speaker 2: You can do whatever you like.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Any for you, Sammy?
- 45:19Speaker 2: A word that's ticking you off? That was a fascinating rant.
- 45:22Speaker 3: There we go.
- 45:23Speaker 2: I get annoyed with awesome. I feel awesome is sometimes
- 45:25Speaker 2: overused and in the wrong context.
- 45:27Speaker 3: Awesome.
- 45:28Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome. That's awesome. Or legend. Legend is overused. I'm
- 45:33Speaker 2: not a legend. Don't say, hey, legend.
- 45:34Speaker 3: No, you get angry about legend.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Oh, it annoys me. I've said this before. If KG
- 45:38Speaker 2: walks through the door, I'll let you call him a legend.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:41Speaker 2: If Tom Wren walks through the door, he's not a legend.
- 45:43Speaker 2: He's just a really good bloke.
- 45:44Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 45:45Speaker 2: There's a difference.
- 45:47Speaker 4: Someone texted in and said, all righty, by presenters at
- 45:49Speaker 4: the right of every sentence at conferences. What's the, Dan
- 45:52Speaker 4: Andrews used to say at.
- 45:54Speaker 3: The end of the day. Is that what it is?
- 45:55Speaker 2: Oh, the end of the day is an annoying phrase.
- 45:57Speaker 2: But at the start, he's like, ready to go.
- 45:58Speaker 3: Is that what he did?
- 45:59Speaker 2: Yeah. Ready to go.
- 46:00Speaker 3: Daniel Andrews. What a gem he is.
- 46:01Speaker 1: All right.
- 46:02Speaker 6: All righty.
- 46:02Speaker 2: That's been a fascinating chat. It's been awesome. We've got
- 46:04Speaker 2: to get out of here. Time for the 6 o'clock news.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Kate Collins, Corey Norris. Then it's over to Will and
- 46:08Speaker 2: Stace for 5AA Breakfast. Catch you tomorrow morning from 5.
- 46:11Speaker 2: No flights involved.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Ned McHenry and Sam Datto. 5AA Early Breakfast.
