Speaker 1: Happy, a whole lot of love, and it's what we
Speaker 1: will be bringing.
Speaker 5: We'll make you.

Speaker 6: Yes, that's not Tony McManus's regular intro, and I keep
Speaker 6: promising he'll be back. At this stage, it looks like
Speaker 6: Tony will be back on Thursday morning. He's just taking
Speaker 6: another couple of days off. The little illness that he's
Speaker 6: suffering from is just taking that little bit longer for
Speaker 6: him to get through it. But he's strong and he's
Speaker 6: got Nathan Kosh looking after him, checking his nose and
Speaker 6: making sure his ears are okay and all of those
Speaker 6: things that Vett's do. But we'll get to Nathan in
Speaker 6: a moment because he's in this morning. But I should
Speaker 6: say hello. Simon Owen's in the chair again for Tony McManus. Jay,
Speaker 6: is he a morning, Jay? Yes, good morning Simon. How
Speaker 6: are you today?
Speaker 7: Good?
Speaker 6: Good, good, well, yes, well it is for Melbournian's but
Speaker 6: for everyone listening through five double A and six PR
Speaker 6: good evening to you, because it's just after eleven thirty.
Speaker 6: It's coming up to eleven forty in South Australia and
Speaker 6: in Western Australia of course it's just after ten still, yes,
Speaker 6: and you've got a story to tell us a little
Speaker 6: later on this morning which will lead into calls. So
Speaker 6: rub my head, yes, yes, looking forward to that and
Speaker 6: your calls will be welcome right throughout the morning. One
Speaker 6: double three six nine three or one double three eight
Speaker 6: eighty two. They're the numbers that you can call us
Speaker 6: on right through till right for the next five and
Speaker 6: a half hours. I guess you can also text, as
Speaker 6: we always request for those of you who are a
Speaker 6: little on the shy side and don't want to ring
Speaker 6: a radio station. We do love it if you call
Speaker 6: and we don't buy so you know, so please give
Speaker 6: us a call. But if you are a little shy,
Speaker 6: or if your partner's are sleep beside you and you
Speaker 6: can't wake them and stuff, but you still want to participate.
Speaker 6: Zero four double seven six nine three six nine three
Speaker 6: is the text line. But now it's time for this.
Speaker 8: The air.
Speaker 3: Here is my request. You don't have to play, but
Speaker 3: hope you'll do your best. I've been listening to Sure
Speaker 3: Ray and you seem lack of friends on me.
Speaker 6: Nathan Kosh with his backing group.
Speaker 7: Yes here, I had to buy them dinner tonight. Yes,
Speaker 7: it's getting expensive me coming in here. Yes, but it's
Speaker 7: worth it. Isn't that they do so nice, don't they?
Speaker 6: I think it is. Everyone should have a choir.
Speaker 7: Yes, I think so. We do the deep voice thing
Speaker 7: and you can mix it, match it and do all
Speaker 7: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6: And now here's one of the ladies.
Speaker 7: Well you know it's a little bit different, but anyway
Speaker 7: we try and match the voices up. I think it
Speaker 7: seems to work.
Speaker 6: Marvelous. How are you, Nate, I'm very well.
Speaker 7: I'm very well. I uh just had a well flew
Speaker 7: to Brisbane and back. Well, depending where you are, either
Speaker 7: this morning or yesterday morning. Yeah, of course we're here,
Speaker 7: there and everywhere. And we get a line checker flying
Speaker 7: check every two years. And I did mine and everything
Speaker 7: went okay despite all the fun and games that we had. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's good, So I'm good to go for another two years.
Speaker 6: I was listening. I know I'm not supposed to say this,
Speaker 6: but I was listening to Kyle and Jackie. Oh what Well.
Speaker 6: I listened to the podcasts of bits and pieces of
Speaker 6: their show. And last week, last week, a week before,
Speaker 6: they did a series of calls where they were talking
Speaker 6: to air hostesses flight attendants. Sorry, yes, there were the
Speaker 6: time sign Well, most of them were hostesses and there
Speaker 6: was there was one bloke who rang in for the segment,
Speaker 6: but the rest were all women and they were just
Speaker 6: talking about the things that the games they play, and
Speaker 6: some of them I wouldn't discuss on air, but there
Speaker 6: was one that I thought was good. On international flights,
Speaker 6: a flight to some of the flight attendants play a
Speaker 6: game called Where's the Cheese? And they get a little
Speaker 6: bit of cheese while everyone's sleeping, and they put it
Speaker 6: on a passenger's shoulder, and then then they come back
Speaker 6: and and then the other flight attendants have to go
Speaker 6: and find the piece of cheese.
Speaker 7: The things you learn. I'm here for two minutes and
Speaker 7: I've already learned something so now you're up.
Speaker 6: The front, you're up at the point, were flying the thing.
Speaker 7: You don't get we miss all of that stuff. No,
Speaker 7: I've not heard of that.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 6: It's a good game though, isn't it.
Speaker 7: Just you know sometimes, you know, when we're bored we
Speaker 7: get to play ice spy. But that has.
Speaker 6: Very Yeah, something beginning with this, Yeah, something beginning with
Speaker 6: them moon. Yeah, with.
Speaker 7: Again sky.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it. Monty Pythons Horizon.
Speaker 7: Yes, Monty Python did a sketch about that, which was
Speaker 7: very funny. They were playing ice spy and then Michael Palin,
Speaker 7: who plays the steward, and you know, he comes in
Speaker 7: and they go, okay, well let's you know, let's let's
Speaker 7: get things going. It's all a bit quiet back there. Yes,
Speaker 7: and I think it was John Clees was the captain,
Speaker 7: and he goes, ladies and gentlemen, there is absolutely nothing
Speaker 7: to worry. Yes, And Michael Palin's looking out the door. Yes,
Speaker 7: they're all starting to get agitated. Now again, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 7: the left engine is not on fire and goes on
Speaker 7: along those lines and everybody starts panicking in the cabin.
Speaker 7: Now wonderful. Having said that, let me say this we
Speaker 7: don't do stuff like that. No, we don't muck around
Speaker 7: with people.
Speaker 6: Do you do when you do make announcements?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 6: Are you allowed to have a bit of personality?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 7: Look, I tend not to because I have no personality,
Speaker 7: But I do have a few of my colleagues that
Speaker 7: are very good. But gee, I think well, as with
Speaker 7: all comedy, you really have to be so very careful
Speaker 7: and given that it's a professional sort of situation, one
Speaker 7: needs to be very mindful. But there are those that
Speaker 7: just have that happy knack of being able to say
Speaker 7: funny stuff. And sadly that's not me.
Speaker 6: See if I were if I was the pilot, right,
Speaker 6: if I were you, and you're at Tullamarine Airport in
Speaker 6: Melbourne and you're heading to Perth, I'd love to just say,
Speaker 6: ladies and gentlemen just like to change in plans that
Speaker 6: they were heading west to go to Perth. It's going
Speaker 6: to take a little longer than usual. Let's just do that.
Speaker 7: You know, yes, well most people we've done it where
Speaker 7: by mistake, you know you're going to Perth and you say, oh,
Speaker 7: well you know we're heading off to Sydney and whatever,
Speaker 7: and you get you get no response. Nobody listens to
Speaker 7: the so you can probably get away with any many
Speaker 7: many years ago, in a little airline where I used
Speaker 7: to work before my current employee.
Speaker 6: I meant to say, you're heading east.
Speaker 11: I know.
Speaker 7: No, it works if you say we're heading west anyway,
Speaker 7: just to make it sound like it's something unusual, and
Speaker 7: then most people would go, I meant to.
Speaker 6: Say east, I've just missed, completely missing. But it works
Speaker 6: the other way as well.
Speaker 7: See that's the sign of a good joke that it
Speaker 7: works whether you east or west. But yeah, and somebody
Speaker 7: decided they were just going to do their whole pais
Speaker 7: Donald Duck. No one commented, No one cared not and
Speaker 7: listened anywhere. Yes, so it's probably a bit of room
Speaker 7: for latitude. But no, I'm very mindful of not because
Speaker 7: the last thing I want to do is offend anybody.
Speaker 6: Or Yeah, now, have you ever had what happens if
Speaker 6: mid flight a flight attendant knocks on your door and says,
Speaker 6: we have an unruly passenger. Yes, whose job is that
Speaker 6: to deal with the unruly passenger?
Speaker 7: They do the flight attendants do, and they're trained. Although
Speaker 7: we're all.
Speaker 6: You don't get to come down with your hat on look.
Speaker 7: No don't. We don't get involved. We leave it up
Speaker 7: to the flight attendants. And I think nowadays really since
Speaker 7: September eleven and what happened there that all of a
Speaker 7: sudden we've got on a aircraft one hundred and eighty
Speaker 7: air marshals, yes, three passengers, and everybody's going to get involved,
Speaker 7: whereas once upon a time they wouldn't. So it has happened.
Speaker 6: And yeah, because I could picture you walking down the
Speaker 6: aisle with the captain's hat on and a parachute and
Speaker 6: say you have a choice. That's how the situation.
Speaker 7: Well, we don't have people are sit down, get off.
Speaker 7: Do we have parachutes? And no, we don't have parachutes,
Speaker 7: of course not, but well one I'm not going to say,
Speaker 7: but yeah, it's no, no, we have to leave it
Speaker 7: to the flight attendants. We leave it to the cabin
Speaker 7: crew to deal with everything, and they will enlist help
Speaker 7: or people will be will be helpful. And there was
Speaker 7: a few years ago, I mean it was all over
Speaker 7: the media. It's no secret about someone coming back from Bali.
Speaker 7: What is it about Bali? And was absolutely off their
Speaker 7: head with something and it took They had some army
Speaker 7: personnel on board and they got involved as well, and
Speaker 7: they had to keep this person subdued because for the
Speaker 7: whole flight, and it wasn't long after take off, this
Speaker 7: person was just absolutely off their head for whatever reason,
Speaker 7: be it mental health issue or some sort of chemical
Speaker 7: and they had to basically sit on them and keep
Speaker 7: them subdued for the whole flight to get them in
Speaker 7: and they were going to divertingway. There were reasons why
Speaker 7: they didn't. They did a great job, but yeah, they
Speaker 7: had to keep this person under control and were we
Speaker 7: can look them in the loo or something, well, because
Speaker 7: we're going to throw themselves around and do that. That's
Speaker 7: how bad it was. So they essentially just had to
Speaker 7: just hold hold them down for the whole flight. Wow.
Speaker 7: And this person just had unlimited energy just just continue
Speaker 7: to thresh around and be a danger to themselves and
Speaker 7: to everyone around.
Speaker 6: Wow. So but as the pilot, you get to just
Speaker 6: turn the radio up and keep the door locked.
Speaker 7: We do, yeah, we do, indeed, But no, they're very
Speaker 7: well trained and that's what they do. And you know,
Speaker 7: our job is to fly the aeroplane and make sure
Speaker 7: we get everybody back on the ground safely, and we
Speaker 7: leave it to those behind the door to deal with
Speaker 7: what they have to deal with.
Speaker 6: I've just never understood. You see social media posts and
Speaker 6: stuff of people going getting angry on off flint about
Speaker 6: irrelevant stuff. You know, they're they're putting their bag above
Speaker 6: my seat in the overhead locker it shouldn't be above
Speaker 6: my seat, and getting angry about it. You just do
Speaker 6: you want to be thrown off the plane?
Speaker 7: Is We're happy to oblige when people like that, and
Speaker 7: I've had to do that a few times, But generally,
Speaker 7: I think it's that people might be nervous fliers or
Speaker 7: stressed about where they're going, why they're going, that sort
Speaker 7: of thing, and they just behave inappropriately because they've just
Speaker 7: got all this tension and they're all wound up, and
Speaker 7: so they let it out in an inappropriate manner.
Speaker 6: But of how many flights do you do each week?
Speaker 6: On average?
Speaker 7: Oh, very so can be anything up to twenty yeah,
Speaker 7: and so.
Speaker 6: Like on probably on almost every flight, nothing ever happened,
Speaker 6: No does, there's very little has ever?
Speaker 7: What do they say? Our job is ours of sheer
Speaker 7: board and punctuated by moments of sheer terror's.
Speaker 6: Yeah one double three six nine three or one double three,
Speaker 6: eight eighty two. If you want to call in, Nathan
Speaker 6: Costu's here for a while, looking forward to taking your calls.
Speaker 6: And he is as well as talking airline stuff, which
Speaker 6: is what I generally talk about with Nathan, he is
Speaker 6: also a qualified VET, so he's got an enormous brain.
Speaker 6: You can quiz him on all manner of things.
Speaker 7: If you wild me up too much. Now we're going
Speaker 7: to let people down.
Speaker 6: Well I could. If I spent the next ten years
Speaker 6: of my life, I could never qualify to be a
Speaker 6: vet or a pilot litt alone both you could do both. No,
Speaker 6: put your mind to it.
Speaker 7: Ten years done. No, I'll start training tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Jay and I were talking earlier off here about the
Speaker 6: stuff goes in one ear and out the other with us.
Speaker 6: So I've passed the age of learning. I don't take
Speaker 6: anything in anymore.
Speaker 7: Well, it's, as someone once pointed out, it's because as
Speaker 7: you get older, your brain becomes full, so that when
Speaker 7: one piece of information goes in, it pushes something else out. Yeah,
Speaker 7: And the trouble is you don't know what's been pushed
Speaker 7: out until you need it.
Speaker 6: Until you get what gets pushed out. Every day for
Speaker 6: me is where I put my car keys.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's why they have these whistling ALARMI things for
Speaker 7: car keys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and air tag things as well, just in case
Speaker 6: you've left them in the car.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 6: A break and back with your calls. Oh, they're coming
Speaker 6: through now. I got on your Len and Peter and others.
Speaker 6: We can see the lines winging there with you all.
Speaker 6: Very soon. We're back. Nathan Kosch is here, and Nathan
Speaker 6: was about to ask me a question.
Speaker 7: Is that for an air or off? It's just it's
Speaker 7: it's it's nothing. It would be too boring for Ronnie.
Speaker 7: It's going to be boring enough off it, but not
Speaker 7: just I'll ask you in the next break.
Speaker 6: Now we've got Lynn, Peter and Arthur. If you'll hang
Speaker 6: on just a moment. Guys, Jay, you've managed to find
Speaker 6: that Monty Python skitch that that we were talking about
Speaker 6: just a little earlier. Yeah, ready, ready to roll. Let's
Speaker 6: let's have a listen.
Speaker 12: I spy with minded lie something beginning with X sky
Speaker 12: high spine mind lies something being able to see.
Speaker 13: Ye.
Speaker 6: Oh god, I'm bored.
Speaker 2: Game.
Speaker 9: Let's play another game.
Speaker 10: Hi?
Speaker 2: Do what.
Speaker 14: Hell?
Speaker 5: And this is your captain speaking.
Speaker 15: There is absolutely no cause for a lack. No, no, no, no, not.
Speaker 2: They're thinking.
Speaker 15: They're thinking, what is there? Absolutely no cause for alarm?
Speaker 15: About are the wings on fast? The wings are not
Speaker 15: on fast? Now they're thinking, why should he say that?
Speaker 7: So we say, oh, how are we doing?
Speaker 6: And stopped eating, looking a bit worried.
Speaker 5: Good, hang on, one was.
Speaker 6: Going to the washroom.
Speaker 5: Is he there yet?
Speaker 8: Please returned to.
Speaker 7: Your seats and fasten your safety about.
Speaker 5: Yes, here he comes, going on the arm.
Speaker 3: Like the.
Speaker 5: You will find your knife jackets under your seats.
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, you will find them on the racks about
Speaker 16: your heads.
Speaker 5: Do not unfast and you're safe.
Speaker 16: Great, Great, that was marvelous, doubled the goose. The scransons
Speaker 16: above your head are now ready to flag. Please unfasten
Speaker 16: your safety belts and plus the emergency photo scamps on
Speaker 16: the back of the seats behind you.
Speaker 13: Love about climbing over the seat, but do not leave
Speaker 13: your seats.
Speaker 8: Do not panic.
Speaker 16: He will now you, sir, inflate your life jacket and
Speaker 16: extinguish your cigarettes. Please remove the luggage from the recks
Speaker 16: above your heads and place it on the recks on
Speaker 16: the other side of.
Speaker 5: The aircraft, except which you should sit on.
Speaker 6: Look, hang on, hold on, they won't jumped out.
Speaker 5: You know, I wouldn't be surprised that there wasn't some
Speaker 5: trouble about.
Speaker 9: There.
Speaker 6: It is. It's a great sketch, isn't isn't it? Just
Speaker 6: the were very good Monty Python And that's one of
Speaker 6: the rare ones where they actually had a tag at
Speaker 6: the end.
Speaker 7: It's just about to say. Usually they just jumped from
Speaker 7: one to the other because they couldn't finish their sketches,
Speaker 7: could they. They had no.
Speaker 6: Great sketches, but bad at punchlines.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but that one, it had one.
Speaker 6: It is great. Len Is in Melton High Len.
Speaker 17: Good day, mate, Nathan. I actually ejected a passenger of
Speaker 17: a cross flood.
Speaker 7: Yes, was it recently? A long time ago?
Speaker 18: Oh?
Speaker 17: Well back yeah, when I was working there in catering,
Speaker 17: was checking off catering wise, and I was just standing
Speaker 17: there with the going your frank forward going, and passengers
Speaker 17: are coming on. We're having it, you know. Than they
Speaker 17: were settling down and Alaska come. Everyone's going, Happy New Year,
Speaker 17: Happy New Year, Happy new Just a long time after
Speaker 17: nine to eleven, this guy and this down and fight
Speaker 17: and goes happy terrorism. Oh look at the guy and
Speaker 17: Galley with me. Yeah, you better go and tell the
Speaker 17: skipople what he said. And he went in and he
Speaker 17: got turfed out.
Speaker 7: Absolutely. Yeah, No, we don't tolerate that sort of behavior
Speaker 7: for sure.
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 17: It's just one more question, plase, Nathan, have you ever
Speaker 17: find choppers?
Speaker 6: No, it's a very different skill.
Speaker 17: The reason masking Tony taty. I was on to show
Speaker 17: his Jackie belgrad and I think it's Tony when I
Speaker 17: was a right using him one of those old bell gopplers.
Speaker 2: With no doors.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, mash, yep yep.
Speaker 17: Top chops and it's just head banks to the right,
Speaker 17: and you think I mean those things normally when they
Speaker 17: do a bank to the right, they're sort of sort
Speaker 17: of heading up upwards and upwards. Sit you're back in
Speaker 17: your suit anyway.
Speaker 7: It depends whether it's a descending turn or a level turn.
Speaker 7: A climbing turn would sit you back in your seat. Yes,
Speaker 7: it's what sorry, it's not going to throw you out. No, no, no,
Speaker 7: Well you've got to have a seatbelt on anyway, because
Speaker 7: it is open. I mean, there's no way you'd sit
Speaker 7: in one without a seat belt.
Speaker 19: No, exactly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but speaking of me, and I'll.
Speaker 17: Tell you what, Mike you do some great aas I'll
Speaker 17: tell you.
Speaker 2: I reckon.
Speaker 17: You've been there for a while, haven't.
Speaker 7: You coming up for twenty five years now nineties. No,
Speaker 7: not yet, not yet. I was flying, but not with,
Speaker 7: not with. I was still in the general aviation, building
Speaker 7: up my hours, getting my experience doing the different jobs
Speaker 7: that we have to do before we get on. Like
Speaker 7: Simon working in country radio. Yeah, same sort of thing
Speaker 7: you do your apprenticeship.
Speaker 17: Rub show. But I didn't do a lot of the
Speaker 17: MESSI raft anyway. We working international.
Speaker 7: Yes, I started off in international and the jumbos for
Speaker 7: three years and then came to domestic.
Speaker 17: What what what jumbo? Are you flying?
Speaker 7: The classic jumbos, the old ones? It's with a well
Speaker 7: for those in the two hundred and three hundreds in
Speaker 7: the sps. But the old ones still had a flight engineer,
Speaker 7: and when we started as second officers, we had to
Speaker 7: do a flight engineer's license as well. So I was
Speaker 7: sitting in the flight engineer seat flipping switches and pushing buttons.
Speaker 7: They are a very very manual aeroplane these days, everything's
Speaker 7: all done by computers. Flight engineers no longer exist except
Speaker 7: in Russian aircraft. They have lots of flight engineers. All right,
Speaker 7: cross crowd somewhere along Now, I started in two thousand.
Speaker 17: Two thousand. Yeah, yeah, well in What God and Carrying
Speaker 17: Tracks International in eighty four and through two seven.
Speaker 6: There you go, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 7: So we might have crossed paths somewhere. I was in
Speaker 7: the International in two thousand and from two thousand to
Speaker 7: two thousand and three. But just bringing up that, the bell, Bell,
Speaker 7: helicopters and MASH. It was sad news this week that
Speaker 7: Loretta Swit passed away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, very sad, Thank you, Lynn, I appreciate the call. Yes,
Speaker 6: very sad. Hot lips all the hands. Yes, I mentioned
Speaker 6: yesterday there were two There were two particular scenes of
Speaker 6: hers in MASH that I just thought were just just
Speaker 6: showed what a great actress she was. There was an
Speaker 6: episode where she had a falling out with the nurses
Speaker 6: because they never invited her to their games, they never
Speaker 6: offered her a cup of coffee or whatever, and she
Speaker 6: felt really sort of ostracized from the rest of the
Speaker 6: nurses just because she was the boss. Yes, so there's
Speaker 6: an episode where she has quite a breakdown over that,
Speaker 6: and I thought she was marvelous. That made me bore
Speaker 6: my eyes out. And there's another episode where there was
Speaker 6: a dog, a stray dog that had gone into camp. Yes,
Speaker 6: and she heard that the dog had been hit by
Speaker 6: a jeep and died and she lost it over that.
Speaker 6: And again, just such fantastic acting. And that's the like
Speaker 6: the serious yes here jerking acting, but comic comic wise,
Speaker 6: she was fantastic as well.
Speaker 7: But that was the beauty of Mash, wasn't it that?
Speaker 7: You know? It would go from laughing hysterically to a moment,
Speaker 7: and often it was Radarr O'Reilly who changed the mood.
Speaker 7: They'd all be laughing and carrying on and having mud
Speaker 7: fights and doing whatever, and then he'd stop and get
Speaker 7: up and prick his ears up and you say choppers,
Speaker 7: And then everyone had get up and go and clean
Speaker 7: themselves up because they were wounded coming in, so they
Speaker 7: could really switch the mood. The writing was brilliant, the
Speaker 7: acting was amazing, and that's why it's still on TV
Speaker 7: all these years later.
Speaker 6: Yeah, great series, and Hawk I pretty much just a
Speaker 6: clone of Groucho Marx. Yes, but what a great job
Speaker 6: Ellen Elder did of it, didn't he? Yeah? Great character, yes, exactly,
Speaker 6: all right, a break back with more in a moment.
Speaker 6: Peter and Arthur, you'll be next. It's twenty five to
Speaker 6: one in Melbourne, twenty five to eleven in Perth and
Speaker 6: in Adelaide five after midnight. Nathan Cosh is here talking
Speaker 6: Pets and jets and we're taking your calls. Peter's in
Speaker 6: talking for you, Nathan, Good, Peter.
Speaker 19: Yeah, good, good morning guys.
Speaker 20: Nathan. Look, I've been fortunate enough to go and fly
Speaker 20: the simulators a few times. I'm not a pilot, and
Speaker 20: I explain to people. Everybody's heard it, but a lot
Speaker 20: of people don't understand it. You know when you say
Speaker 20: armed doors at unarmed doors? Yes, and people who's all
Speaker 20: got to do about the slide.
Speaker 21: In the door?
Speaker 20: I think a couple of years one of the slides
Speaker 20: actually got deployed on the jets Jet when it landed
Speaker 20: at Tullim Ring there and everybody's heard it, but nobody
Speaker 20: understands about it.
Speaker 7: Yes, Well, the doors they can either open just open
Speaker 7: as is, or they can open and deploy the slide.
Speaker 7: So when we pull up at the gate and when
Speaker 7: the caterers are coming in everything, obviously it's not a
Speaker 7: good idea to have the slide deploy and it has
Speaker 7: happened around the world at various times, and people have
Speaker 7: been killed because you can imagine this slide, that the
Speaker 7: force of this slide has knocked people off catering trucks
Speaker 7: or knocked them off stairs, that type of thing. And
Speaker 7: so we arm doors and disarmed doors. So when we
Speaker 7: disarm them, it means we disconnect the slides from the
Speaker 7: doors so that they can be opened normally, and then
Speaker 7: once we all closed up and ready to go, we
Speaker 7: arm them so that if the door had to be
Speaker 7: opened in a hurry for an evacuation or whatever, then
Speaker 7: you push the door open and the slide automatically deploys.
Speaker 7: So it's something that there's a routine. And now the
Speaker 7: flight attendants on the other side of the aircraft be
Speaker 7: left or right. We'll check that the door is armed
Speaker 7: and disarmed properly, just to avoid the potential for someone
Speaker 7: opening a door with the slide still attached and a problem.
Speaker 6: How interesting are you looking to become a pilot.
Speaker 20: Peter No, No, I just know somebody. I think the
Speaker 20: last time I went there, I it's quite easy to
Speaker 20: fly in, but coming into land, I think.
Speaker 7: It's very difficult, very difficult. Can on talk me up
Speaker 7: a bit here.
Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, it's very it's like playing a big video
Speaker 20: machine when you're in there, and it's a great experience.
Speaker 7: Yes it is. And there's not official simulators, but around Australia,
Speaker 7: I'm sure in Perth and in Adelaide as well as
Speaker 7: Melbourne there's a i think they're called Flight Experience or something,
Speaker 7: and you can go and they have a simulator that
Speaker 7: doesn't move, but you can do all sorts of fun
Speaker 7: and games and they'll have generally a general aviation pilot
Speaker 7: who will take you around because they're well versed in
Speaker 7: these things and do some fun stuff in the airplane,
Speaker 7: which of course we don't do fun stuff in the
Speaker 7: airplane do real I.
Speaker 20: Think we've gone under the Harbord Bridge and gone under
Speaker 20: the gat Bridge, and it's amazing how you can land
Speaker 20: in any airport in the world or any runway in
Speaker 20: the world. Cleaning the computers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, it's got all of the terrain, it's
Speaker 7: got all of the visual all the graphics and everything
Speaker 7: there and it's they're very, very realistic these days. And
Speaker 7: of course one of the famous approaches was into the
Speaker 7: old airport at Hong Kong, at Kai Tak, and there
Speaker 7: was a bit between the building, yeah, and a big
Speaker 7: checkerboard on the hill, and you had to sort of
Speaker 7: aim at the checker I never got to flight for real,
Speaker 7: but I did it in the simulator and you head
Speaker 7: towards this checkerboard and then you reach a certain height
Speaker 7: and then you turn off and then there's the runway
Speaker 7: down there because you couldn't do a straight in approach because.
Speaker 6: The hill was there. So people used to go up on.
Speaker 7: The mountain there with the stand at the checkerboard and
Speaker 7: take video and so on. And there's heaps of it
Speaker 7: on YouTube of aeroplanes heading straight for the mountain and
Speaker 7: then peeling off at the last minute and going in
Speaker 7: and landing.
Speaker 6: Is that airport still in news.
Speaker 7: No, they stopped it. It was close to town and
Speaker 7: so they closed it up and then all the buildings
Speaker 7: shot up. They built all the tall buildings because there's
Speaker 7: height restrictions on your way into any airport. They have
Speaker 7: to have a safe display where you know, the aircraft
Speaker 7: have to be able to move about freely, and so
Speaker 7: they actually built an island off Hong Kong Yeah, and
Speaker 7: filled it up, and then they built the new airport
Speaker 7: there called check lap Cock and yeah, that's where the
Speaker 7: airport is. But the old Chai Tak closed down many
Speaker 7: moons ago.
Speaker 6: I just find that amazing. Just go out in the
Speaker 6: middle of the bay and start tipping dirt in there
Speaker 6: and they eventually put an airport on.
Speaker 7: The Yep, they do that. And the Chinese are very
Speaker 7: good at doing things like that. Yeah, they get these infrastructure.
Speaker 7: I wonder if they can build a tunnel.
Speaker 6: I was going to say, why don't why don't we
Speaker 6: outsource that because I'm sure the connecting link for Melbourne
Speaker 6: for from the Ring Road, yes out to the Eastern
Speaker 6: Freeway that they're doing now. Yes, it's going to take
Speaker 6: them probably another year or so least at least. Yeah,
Speaker 6: but I reckon if we got the Chinese people out
Speaker 6: here who do their stuff, yeah, yeah, it'll be done yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 6: they could knock it off in a fortnight at least. Yeah. Incredible.
Speaker 6: Arthur's in Westwoods.
Speaker 14: Great, Hi Arthur, Good morning, Simon, Nathan and Jay. You
Speaker 14: know Alretta you're talking about from mash She was also
Speaker 14: in Hawaii five Oh, occasionally.
Speaker 7: The old one or the new one.
Speaker 6: The one, yeah, the original.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they've remade it. So that's the one with Jack
Speaker 7: Lord and the one without and the one with Yeah,
Speaker 7: I was trying to cover. I don't even know in
Speaker 7: the new one, but if they've changed it all.
Speaker 14: But anyway, I just wanted to ask you, Nathan, do
Speaker 14: a Marshall still travel on certain planes?
Speaker 7: Yeah, for security reasons. Absolutely. They just undercover people who
Speaker 7: will go flowing on aeroplanes just in case.
Speaker 14: Another thing I want to bring up. I was watching
Speaker 14: NBC News the American just before local news, and I've
Speaker 14: seen something unusual and this time the birds went outside.
Speaker 14: There was a quite a few pigeons inside the plane
Speaker 14: that they were capturing.
Speaker 7: What did they were they in this cargo and escaped
Speaker 7: or something in the hand like.
Speaker 14: I'm not they were just flying in there inside of Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 14: I'm not sure which company it was.
Speaker 7: They couldn't come in from outside, so they must have
Speaker 7: somehow without a ticket, not without a ticket and going
Speaker 7: through security of course, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 14: I'm sure see one being captured. So like you said,
Speaker 14: there must have been a cargo or for a minute of.
Speaker 7: The scale, maybe a magician had had a bag full
Speaker 7: of birds that escaped, or.
Speaker 6: If it's just a little like domestic flight and you're
Speaker 6: going up the stairs the door lie in.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Possibly, Yeah, that's probably the most likely explanation for a
Speaker 6: bird actually being inside the body of the will.
Speaker 7: You see them in the terminal quite regularly. You see
Speaker 7: sparrows and things that have flown in when the doors
Speaker 7: have been open, and you see them flapping around in
Speaker 7: the terminal, and they do have after hours there are
Speaker 7: people from the airport with big nets that try and
Speaker 7: catch them around and chase them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it happens in shopping centers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right, anything like that. But just when you're
Speaker 7: talking about Hawaii five Oho and Jack Lord and the
Speaker 7: building there the Ilakai when he's those who remember he's
Speaker 7: standing on the bel floor and then yeah, there's a
Speaker 7: there's a close up of him. Just around the corner
Speaker 7: from there is a little marina and that marina was
Speaker 7: from whence the ss Minno departed? Oh was it for
Speaker 7: Gilligans Island?
Speaker 6: Is that right?
Speaker 7: Yes, So that's where they filmed the Minnow datature for
Speaker 7: a three hour tour.
Speaker 6: And in the pilot episode, apparently if you look at
Speaker 6: the background there was the flag was flying at half
Speaker 6: mast and that was because it was the death of JF.
Speaker 6: Hayes assassination. Okay, so it was filmed at that time,
Speaker 6: so the flag was at half mast. I remember reading
Speaker 6: that as a as a trivial piece and thinking, now
Speaker 6: you have tom.
Speaker 7: Why is it that if I said to you now, Simon,
Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you something that is going to
Speaker 7: save your life. This is going to change your life
Speaker 7: forever within about ten seconds, you're going to forget it. Yes,
Speaker 7: But if I tell you who are you? Look, yeah,
Speaker 7: he is just a nonsensical figure fact or figure or whatever.
Speaker 7: It will never be forgotten.
Speaker 6: That's the stuff I remember. Yep, pointless, ye rubbish. That's
Speaker 6: just not important at all.
Speaker 7: I think we're all like that. Really. It's just one
Speaker 7: of those weird things.
Speaker 6: There was a sketch on a radio show called I'm Sorry,
Speaker 6: I'll read that again, and it was a John and
Speaker 6: Betty sketch, male and female having an argument, and the
Speaker 6: character of John said I've got something to tell you,
Speaker 6: and she says yes, and he says Cardinal Rieschlou died
Speaker 6: in sixteen forty two. Oh no, And she says, all right,
Speaker 6: so mother was wrong. Well, I've always remembered Cardinal Reeschlu
Speaker 6: died in sixteen forty two. It was just a funny,
Speaker 6: funny little line. But I remember that, yes, so yeah,
Speaker 6: unusual fact Bey's mother was wrong. Yeah, exactly. But Cardinal Rieschlue,
Speaker 6: if you're interested people died in sixteen forty two. And yeah,
Speaker 6: I don't know why. I've always remembered that.
Speaker 7: When you go on the chase, Yeah, well.
Speaker 6: He wants to a millionaire or hot seed or whatever. Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: a million dollar question. When did Cardinal Rieschlu die?
Speaker 7: You'll be dreaming at the television?
Speaker 6: Yeah, have you ever done that? Have you ever watched that?
Speaker 6: One percent?
Speaker 7: Class Bits and Pieces?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I love that?
Speaker 7: Which one the English one, of the Australian.
Speaker 6: One, well, the English one?
Speaker 7: Lee Mack?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Lee is so fun Lee Mack is one of
Speaker 6: the greatest comic teller. I've ever seen him.
Speaker 7: And have you seen him on? Would I lie to you?
Speaker 6: I've seen clips?
Speaker 7: Yes's just amazing those the people that do that, It
Speaker 7: is so so funny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're very good. The original show that I first
Speaker 6: saw Lee mac on was a show called The Sketch Show, right,
Speaker 6: and it's some of the funniest television I have ever seen.
Speaker 6: In my life. Yeah, yeah, the cast I don't know
Speaker 6: who all the other I don't remember all their names,
Speaker 6: but there was three guys to girls and they just
Speaker 6: did all these wonderful sketches. Just pure brilliance, absolutely brilliance.
Speaker 7: I mean, isn't that the thing? I mean, we Australia
Speaker 7: had its It's a golden period of sketch.
Speaker 6: Comedy when there was fast forward comedy companies. Yeah.
Speaker 7: And Magda Zabanski was in the news as well. He's
Speaker 7: going through some tough times at the moment. Yes, well
Speaker 7: macder if you're listening, sending all our love.
Speaker 6: Magda a legend. Yes, we better get another breakout of
Speaker 6: the way surge and Bob, you'll be up next. Welcome
Speaker 6: back to Australia overnight. Nathan Kosh is here and we're
Speaker 6: taking your call. Surgery is in Williamstown High Surgery.
Speaker 22: Shallow boys. I hope you're going having a good night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you why why are you up the sash.
Speaker 22: I was not even to talk about it, but I've
Speaker 22: mentioned it briefly. I'm actually airline pilot and I'm on
Speaker 22: holiday in Australia for the next three months. My daughter
Speaker 22: gave birth to her to her kids.
Speaker 7: Congratulations you're visiting.
Speaker 22: Yes, yes, thank you. I fly the big E three
Speaker 22: fifty aircraft is beautiful airpah with whom Turkish Airlines.
Speaker 7: Okay, well Turkish Airlines are coming to Australia now, of
Speaker 7: course I know, but only the seven eight seven so.
Speaker 22: Well, no, it's actually they come last year and they're
Speaker 22: flying E three fifty aircraft. At the moment, I actually
Speaker 22: flew the not the inaugirl but the second flight to
Speaker 22: Australia on the three fifty aircraft and it is a
Speaker 22: primary aircraft is flying between Melbourne, Singapore to Istanbul.
Speaker 7: Yes, they're very very good airline. Turkish.
Speaker 22: Oh, it's very good airline and is obviously offer the
Speaker 22: economy and business class, but is the corptual and the service.
Speaker 22: It is the main thing. So I love being a
Speaker 22: pilot is my favorite thing.
Speaker 7: Yes, good and you've been doing it for a while.
Speaker 22: Yes, I come met at the Air Force. Yes, and
Speaker 22: then obviously the transitioned onto initially the Bowing seven thirty
Speaker 22: seven and then you know US E three thirty and
Speaker 22: now the three fifties on the pilot in command, Well done,
Speaker 22: the captain, thank you, thank you boys.
Speaker 6: Was there always a dream of your surgery from a
Speaker 6: young boy.
Speaker 22: Of course, you know, my father was actually pilot, so
Speaker 22: but he was not civilian pilot. He was a military pilot.
Speaker 22: But I not have much interesting in military pilot. But
Speaker 22: in Turkey you have to go through the military to
Speaker 22: actually progress to civilian aircraft.
Speaker 7: Yes, here we have some of some of my colleagues
Speaker 7: came through the military and others. Most of us came
Speaker 7: through civilian light aircraft and all the rest of it
Speaker 7: and then moved on on into the airlines. So that's
Speaker 7: that's lovely that you hear. For that you're able to
Speaker 7: take a break and here with your grandchild and with
Speaker 7: your daughter and William Williams town is a lovely.
Speaker 22: I went to watch I actually went to watch my
Speaker 22: son's team. There's a big thing going on in Melbourne
Speaker 22: with social media and I do see it on TikTok
Speaker 22: as well as a football is futsal And actually I
Speaker 22: went to watch my son play in more Oban today
Speaker 22: and this team is actually KFFC. They're getting a lot
Speaker 22: of publicity online and this and that, but I want
Speaker 22: to watch them drive from Restown, very underwhelming. My son's team.
Speaker 22: They destroy they destroy this team I was very underwhelmed.
Speaker 8: You know, I.
Speaker 22: Don't like teams to promote themselves like this Keift team,
Speaker 22: but they're not delivered on the field. They were embarrassing.
Speaker 22: They got smashed. Yes, they took a big game on
Speaker 22: social media, but they're not delivered. You know, it is underwhelming,
Speaker 22: is embarrassing often. I know they're just kids, but it's
Speaker 22: not good enough.
Speaker 7: Yes, but isn't isn't it much better to be supporting
Speaker 7: the team that's doing this ashing rather than the one
Speaker 7: that's getting clothed.
Speaker 22: Of course, but you know, I see these boys that
Speaker 22: some of them are Turkish origin, some of the more
Speaker 22: Greek origin. You think, you know, they have big representation,
Speaker 22: you know, a big community, but you know, I want
Speaker 22: to see them do well. And then they're not doing well. Man,
Speaker 22: You know, you have to represent the community well. And
Speaker 22: you know this team is Anglo team who I play against.
Speaker 22: My son is my son is Turkish, but he's playing
Speaker 22: for Anglo team and you know he playing against his team.
Speaker 22: You know, I expect you know, the team, you know,
Speaker 22: they're usually passionate Europeans, but men they play, they're a
Speaker 22: lavish man, you know, but football is good to see
Speaker 22: that it's growing. It is growing in the state of Victoria. Yeah,
Speaker 22: I really like this.
Speaker 6: Yes, now, Sergey, quick question for me because your kids
Speaker 6: are here, but you're over here on holiday. Could you
Speaker 6: I would you ever consider like leaving Turkish Airlines and
Speaker 6: getting a job with the local camping quantas well.
Speaker 22: The problem is is sidneyority with pilots as you under.
Speaker 22: So i'd live here but three fifty as captain, but
Speaker 22: probably would not have the same seniority coming onto getting
Speaker 22: the E three fifty. But I would be your first officer.
Speaker 22: I'll be senior first officer. Yes, likely so, and this
Speaker 22: is the problem. You know, I'm fifty eight, I've got
Speaker 22: seven more years of flying, you know by the time
Speaker 22: I build myself up as pilot within quantas.
Speaker 7: Yes, you wouldn't get a command. Again, just for those
Speaker 7: that don't know, most airlines work on a seniority system,
Speaker 7: so it's based on your date of joining. Oh okay,
Speaker 7: so as you just you become the bottom of the
Speaker 7: pile when you join, and then over the years you
Speaker 7: gradually build up in seniority and then it's yeah, so
Speaker 7: your ability to be promoted or going onto the different
Speaker 7: fleets and all the rest of it. It all just
Speaker 7: depends on how long you've been in the company. So
Speaker 7: if Sergey was to come to well, any other airline really,
Speaker 7: although there are some that do contracts, take contract pilots
Speaker 7: and you can work for a while as you can
Speaker 7: come in directly as a captain. But yeah, if you're
Speaker 7: going to join the mainline operation of most of these airlines,
Speaker 7: be they Vergin, Quantas, whatever, that even with all the
Speaker 7: experience that Sergei has, he would be the most junior
Speaker 7: pilot in the new company and have to start again.
Speaker 7: You don't take your rank with you.
Speaker 6: Is there a logical reason for that? Pure it doesn't
Speaker 6: make sense them.
Speaker 7: There is in that it's very fair and it's very
Speaker 7: transparent as far as promotions are concerned, because there are
Speaker 7: other companies where they don't do it, and you know,
Speaker 7: nepotism reigns supreme, or if you know you're in favor
Speaker 7: with management, then people get promoted early on, and so
Speaker 7: it becomes a bit of an issue, whereas with a
Speaker 7: seniority number it's transparent to all. And then when they say,
Speaker 7: right next to you, we've got this number of positions
Speaker 7: on this fleet, or this number of positions on that
Speaker 7: fleet and you bid to go across or you put
Speaker 7: your hand up, and then it just works in order
Speaker 7: of seniority. So it's not a perfect system, but at
Speaker 7: least it's yeah that people can't sort of get promoted
Speaker 7: well out of seniority just because they happen to get
Speaker 7: on well with the management or that type of thing.
Speaker 6: All right, we've got to get another break in. Thank you,
Speaker 6: sergery granful appreciate that me sitting back listening to two
Speaker 6: pilots talk to each.
Speaker 7: Yet accoring a batdroppings, isn't it?
Speaker 6: It was great? Good call back in a minute right
Speaker 6: over for those on hold, if you'll happily hang on
Speaker 6: because Gabriel Hodson's about to bring you the latest news,
Speaker 6: and then Nathan Coosh will stick around because Maggie sent
Speaker 6: a text through if night flying Bat's a problem and
Speaker 6: Nathan has said they're not, but it's just led to
Speaker 6: something interesting Nathan, which we'll talk about after the news
Speaker 6: if you're.
Speaker 7: Okay we can do that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because yeah, you do occasionally hit things, which we
Speaker 6: will discuss that and take one of your calls with
Speaker 6: our number two with Nathan codj Pets and jets here
Speaker 6: on Australia Overnight.
Speaker 13: Yes, now this is a Stratio Oben Eye with Simon
Speaker 13: Owen's take.
Speaker 6: You back to your days on the Fox or on
Speaker 6: Triple M. Sorry, yes, yes, hungry like the Wolf.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, it's not funny. You know we I think
Speaker 7: we all move with the music of our time, don't we.
Speaker 7: So when we're when we're young, it's the cutting edge
Speaker 7: and everything, and then you start to change radio stations
Speaker 7: and move along with it and that becomes your era
Speaker 7: of music until you get to the point where you
Speaker 7: can't hear it anymore, and then it's too.
Speaker 6: Bad because no one's catering.
Speaker 7: Catering for it. Yeah, that's radio for the death work.
Speaker 6: But none of us have hit listeners.
Speaker 7: Now we're all into the gold, that's right exactly. But
Speaker 7: you know that's at the time though, of course it
Speaker 7: was you know, we all foot we were you know, yeah,
Speaker 7: we're pretty cool, and this great music that was going on.
Speaker 7: And now you look at the revival tours, the defibrillated
Speaker 7: tour of all of these bands, you know.
Speaker 6: Phil Phil Collins last tour was called not Dead Yet. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 6: so it sort of says it all, doesn't it. That's
Speaker 6: the voice of Nathan Kosh if you've just joined us.
Speaker 6: Simon Owens in the chair for Tony McManus again this morning.
Speaker 6: Jay is here as well taking your calls, and Nathan
Speaker 6: Kosh is in the studio with pets and jets. Now
Speaker 6: just before we do get back to your calls and
Speaker 6: thank you for hanging on. Maggie did send a text
Speaker 6: for you saying if you're flying at night, bat's a problem.
Speaker 7: Yes, they're not usually, although I did one night actually
Speaker 7: ironically landing in Adelaide where Maggie lives. Just as I
Speaker 7: was touching down, heard a splat on the windscreen and
Speaker 7: when we tax it back, this was at night, and
Speaker 7: there was a big, big mark on the on the
Speaker 7: windscreen and we call the safety officers who were patrolling
Speaker 7: the airport all the time, and they had a look
Speaker 7: and they found a poor little fruit bat that it
Speaker 7: got in our way. But that's a normally very very
Speaker 7: good at keeping away from aeroplanes because they're so na
Speaker 7: it's very good. But this one maybe I don't know.
Speaker 7: I was looking looking for some food or something that
Speaker 7: you know, you just lose concentration for one minute and
Speaker 7: it's all over.
Speaker 6: He's probably checking his Instagram might have done. But now
Speaker 6: you did say that when we spoke about this during
Speaker 6: the ad break before the news, you did say that
Speaker 6: on occasions a bird will Yes there's a bird striker,
Speaker 6: but yes, just hopefully not a large one, but yes,
Speaker 6: it does happen. And you said something off here that
Speaker 6: really intrigued me. Do you want to repeat what that was?
Speaker 7: Yes, Well, when just by way of background, with the engines,
Speaker 7: then we take some of the compressed air out of
Speaker 7: that engine and then run it back into the cabin
Speaker 7: as well through an air conditioning machine. But that forms
Speaker 7: the a the air conditioning and be the pressurization because
Speaker 7: we pump up the cabin like a pressure vessel. That's
Speaker 7: why we can fly as high as we can. If
Speaker 7: we were up at thirty five thousand feet without pressurization,
Speaker 7: then you know it's not breathe living you would be
Speaker 7: able to breathe exactly. So they tap air off. Having
Speaker 7: said that, the newer ones now have separate electrical machines anyway,
Speaker 7: but most of the aeroplanes have still got where they
Speaker 7: take the air off or bleed air they call it,
Speaker 7: and take it away from the engine. And if you
Speaker 7: look at a modern jet engine. Then the inner bit
Speaker 7: is called the core, so the actual engine is very small,
Speaker 7: and then around it you have the fan, so it's
Speaker 7: like a propeller, but it's all in case within that engine.
Speaker 7: So the middle bit is the actual engine. The outer
Speaker 7: bit is just air that gets pushed by that propeller
Speaker 7: around the side of the engine. Helps keep the noise down,
Speaker 7: help keep the engine cool, and it's just very efficient
Speaker 7: way to go. So if you do happen to hit
Speaker 7: a bird, and we did not that long ago, and
Speaker 7: it went around the side of the engine and we
Speaker 7: just felt a little vibration and we're monitoring it and
Speaker 7: they can. We've got real time data that goes back
Speaker 7: on the ground and the engineers we're having a look
Speaker 7: and going, oh yeah, look, everything's fine. You're okay to
Speaker 7: keep going. But if it goes down the middle of
Speaker 7: the engine, because it gets very hot, you know, it's
Speaker 7: up at around seven or eight hundred degrees celsius, you
Speaker 7: can get a smell of burnt bird, a roast chicken
Speaker 7: kind of smell that goes into the cabin for a
Speaker 7: short time.
Speaker 6: KFC because it's delivered because the.
Speaker 7: Bird's gone through the main part of the engine and
Speaker 7: sort of cooked instantly, and the air that's been tapped
Speaker 7: off the engine as it goes through thee you still
Speaker 7: get a little bit of that smell for a short time.
Speaker 7: So that's a giveaway that a bird has actually gone
Speaker 7: through the actual court the middle of the engine.
Speaker 6: So ifever you're on a plane and you go it
Speaker 6: smells like chicken. Yeah, it's a chance you've just collected
Speaker 6: a poor little birdie on the way.
Speaker 7: Correct.
Speaker 6: How fascinating is that it's always educational working with you, Nathan.
Speaker 7: And for me too. I learned what's about.
Speaker 6: I don't think you learn a lot from me?
Speaker 7: I do, I do. Don't talk yourself down.
Speaker 6: Bas is in North Geelong High bas.
Speaker 8: Hey, you go, he got good.
Speaker 23: Oh, I've had a bad day that I had to
Speaker 23: go and see my grandfather. He's been dead forty four
Speaker 23: years and I love him to death. When I was cheap.
Speaker 23: We don't ever listen together, you don't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 23: He was in World War two.
Speaker 8: Yes, he brought he built a big camp in Walla,
Speaker 8: Waller for the Croatians because with a nachi's time and
Speaker 8: we lock them up.
Speaker 7: So like an internment, an internment camp for people. They
Speaker 7: did that with Japanese people as well, and Germans, I
Speaker 7: guess too.
Speaker 23: And yeah, and then Brendad when I was seized Europe.
Speaker 23: Do you know the austrange that they sent there took
Speaker 23: out eighty percent of Europe.
Speaker 7: With the Australian continue punched well above their weight. Is
Speaker 7: what you is that what you mean?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 8: Of course, Yeah.
Speaker 23: The grandfather got to Europe. Croatians.
Speaker 6: Thanks for the call, Bas, but we will Yeah, well,
Speaker 6: we might just move on from that conversation. A fascinating
Speaker 6: as it as it is, and we do appreciate your call,
Speaker 6: and you're reminiscing about your grandfather, yes, but yeah, there's
Speaker 6: just for the time of the morning and the sort
Speaker 6: of audience we're chatting to, we might just move on
Speaker 6: from that conversation. But we do appreciate the call and
Speaker 6: thank you very much for it.
Speaker 7: Yes, war is it's not a pretty thing, is it?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 7: On many levels, on all levels.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 6: There's a christ Bergh song, yes, called Borderline, just a
Speaker 6: lovely one line in it that always struck with me.
Speaker 6: These are only boys and I will never because so
Speaker 6: many people were just teenage. Yes, yes, these are only
Speaker 6: boys and I will never know how men can see
Speaker 6: the Wisdom in a War. Yes, great, great lyric by
Speaker 6: christal Berg.
Speaker 7: Very true.
Speaker 6: Jim is in Westwoods Gray. How are you, Jim?
Speaker 23: Not too bad? Good morning, Simon, Nathan and Jim. The
Speaker 23: song he said about Phil Collins being something that not
Speaker 23: being dead.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Phil Collins last tour when he came out
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago. The tour was actually called
Speaker 6: the Not Dead Yet Tour.
Speaker 23: Ah, that's very rangel because Pink had a song I'm
Speaker 23: not dead yet yeah or something like that.
Speaker 6: Who pinched it?
Speaker 7: From whom.
Speaker 23: I would have been Phil Collins. I must have pinched
Speaker 23: the first, because I don't ever remember Phil Cohen singing that,
Speaker 23: but I remember.
Speaker 6: I know it wasn't a song. It was the name
Speaker 6: of his tour.
Speaker 7: Like oh like eagles with Hell freezes over to her.
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, I think actually had a song I'm not
Speaker 23: dead or I'm not dead yet anyway. Nathan, Yes, a
Speaker 23: walk back. I heard you talking about.
Speaker 14: Toward the shell cats and ginger cats.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 19: Now, I had.
Speaker 23: Three Tordos cats and I named them are Missy because
Speaker 23: they all looked like clones off each other. And I
Speaker 23: named the more Missy in memory of one of the
Speaker 23: other yes, and my last one I had for seventeen.
Speaker 7: Years, which that's a very good deal.
Speaker 23: And like in shop, I remember Diamond when when she died,
Speaker 23: I rang you and Philip one remember when and I
Speaker 23: was in shop and you and Philip were comforting me.
Speaker 23: I thought, I'll never get another animal again. Then I
Speaker 23: decided to get goldfish and I bought I used to
Speaker 23: call the black ones goggle eyes. And when I went
Speaker 23: to the aquarium, he said, I think he said, the
Speaker 23: proper name for him is blackmore.
Speaker 7: Yeah, blackmore goldfish, that's right.
Speaker 23: I started off with two of them. One I actually
Speaker 23: started with one, then got another. I had a very
Speaker 23: large tank. I bought ten all together, and they grew
Speaker 23: very big. I was still even though they grew big,
Speaker 23: my tank was very big. I had two pumps in
Speaker 23: there in case one and anyway, after they died, I
Speaker 23: thought I'll never get an animal again. But one thing
Speaker 23: I I told Dennis that one time when one is
Speaker 23: being what do you know and that someone else doesn't know?
Speaker 23: And I told him the goldfish have a lifespan of
Speaker 23: thirty years if they don't get sick. And then I
Speaker 23: said that can't be possible. I've put a goldfish in
Speaker 23: the bowl miles dead in a week. So then Dennis
Speaker 23: decided to look it up. Yeah, and he said longest
Speaker 23: living goldfish in the wild was forty two years old.
Speaker 23: Back to the tortoise.
Speaker 7: Cat, yea tortoiseell yep.
Speaker 23: Yeah. The tortoiseshell cats. I had three of them, and
Speaker 23: I used to know the manager savors in but Gray,
Speaker 23: I don't know how we got talking about cats. I
Speaker 23: said to him, I've had three cat tortoise shell cats,
Speaker 23: the whole female. I've never come across a male cat.
Speaker 23: And he said to me, I own a male cat. Well, well,
Speaker 23: why I bring it up because I heard you saying
Speaker 23: that the male tortoise cats are all born steroids.
Speaker 7: I ah, yes, because no coloring.
Speaker 23: Yes, I go the other thing. I also had two
Speaker 23: ginger cats in the bath.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 23: I can't remember why you're saying about ginger cats. If
Speaker 23: you can.
Speaker 7: Remind you, yeah, ninety nine percent of ginger cats are male,
Speaker 7: one percent of them a female. But the difference between
Speaker 7: that and the tortoishells is the female ginger cats are fertile,
Speaker 7: whereas the one percent of tortoiseshell cats which are male
Speaker 7: are infertile. So how do you make more, Well, they
Speaker 7: just end up the coat color. It ends up quite random.
Speaker 7: You can there are dominant and recessive genes. But if
Speaker 7: you have a look at a litter of kittens, they
Speaker 7: can be all different colors and sort of nothing like
Speaker 7: either of the parents.
Speaker 6: So if like a black tom cat mates with a
Speaker 6: female tortoise shell, you might get some black cats in
Speaker 6: some tortoishe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it depends whether the gene is expressed. You
Speaker 7: need to have a recessive gene. You need to get
Speaker 7: the gene from both sides, male from the father and mother.
Speaker 7: Whereas a dominant gene, if there's one one, it's one
Speaker 7: or the other and that will express that.
Speaker 6: Like your brown eyes and blue eyes.
Speaker 7: Ye, blue eyes are recessive, so you have to have
Speaker 7: both parents that give you the gene for blue eyes.
Speaker 7: But you can have two brown eyed parents that give
Speaker 7: you a blue eyed child.
Speaker 6: Well that's my wife and myself. Our daughter Shannon has
Speaker 6: blue eyes.
Speaker 7: Yes, because if you both have the blue geen and
Speaker 7: then just depending on how the egg and the sperm
Speaker 7: work out, then they can have the blue jeen from
Speaker 7: the from the mother, a blue jean from the father.
Speaker 7: And yeah, two brown eyed parents can have a blue.
Speaker 6: Eyes and got the blue from both. My wife and
Speaker 6: I obviously both have a blue and a brown geen. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 6: because my sister also has blue eyes and my wife's
Speaker 6: uncle has blue eyes.
Speaker 7: Yes, so it runs there and the blue hidden in
Speaker 7: the backward. It can sit for generations before it gets expressed.
Speaker 7: You have to have a parent. The other parent has
Speaker 7: to have the blue jean as well.
Speaker 6: And then my second daughter Rachel had like black possom eyes.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, but you'll still probably yeah, well she could
Speaker 7: still well carry the blue gen.
Speaker 6: Yeah she might, yes, exactly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's all genetics is incredible.
Speaker 9: It's amazing.
Speaker 6: Where would my baldness have come from? My grandfather on
Speaker 6: on both sides had here.
Speaker 7: Yes, are you sure that?
Speaker 24: Oh?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, there's a question I've never asked. Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 7: Was there a board milkman? Probably? Godther's got some questions
Speaker 7: to be answered.
Speaker 6: I'll investigate that a little further. A break and then
Speaker 6: Bob Lee and Maggie and Norma will be with you
Speaker 6: in a sick I'm quite thrown. Hello there, welcome back
Speaker 6: to Australia. Overnight. Simon Owen's in the chair for Tony
Speaker 6: Mac and Nathan Cosh is here as well taking your calls.
Speaker 6: Bob is in cue good I.
Speaker 25: Bob, don't morning, should I say? And Nathan last time
Speaker 25: we spoke, well, recall that you and I cross paths
Speaker 25: many times without knowing it and hold fast.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's right my the building in which I lived
Speaker 7: when I was living in Adelaide.
Speaker 25: There's a little old lady called Ilse that was there
Speaker 25: for about thirty for thirty five years. That was dear
Speaker 25: old mum that was on the ONUS Corporation committee faithfully
Speaker 25: for all those years. Yes, anyway, what I was reading about.
Speaker 25: We all remember the Lufthansa episode with the deranged pilot
Speaker 25: dropping an aircraft down in the mountains.
Speaker 7: Yeah, German Wings. Yes, it wasn't Loftime, so it was
Speaker 7: a company called German Wings. Yep.
Speaker 25: And apparently your audio records or the audio records showed
Speaker 25: or let us all hear the captain screaming and smashing
Speaker 25: at the door. Yes, and I read with an axe
Speaker 25: now is that true? Does that means there was an
Speaker 25: axe in the cockpit in the cabin.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there is a crash axe on board. Different companies
Speaker 7: will have it in different places. It's not designed as
Speaker 7: a tool of discipline. It's designed there's different things you
Speaker 7: can do, like prying open panels if there's smoke or something,
Speaker 7: or you know, if Heaven forbid there's an accident that
Speaker 7: you can chop your way out or use it to
Speaker 7: sort of chop down some trees and things to help
Speaker 7: build a shelter or that type of thing. So, yes,
Speaker 7: I remember hearing that, and they must have had that
Speaker 7: outside the outside the flight deck. So the captain was
Speaker 7: trying to get his way back in because of course
Speaker 7: the law of unintended consequences, there's post September eleven, we
Speaker 7: have a blastproof door and we have an entry system
Speaker 7: because the doors used to be just left unlocked and
Speaker 7: people would come in and we have pered and we
Speaker 7: really have you know, get visitors and things come up.
Speaker 7: But now, of course since September eleven, then the doors
Speaker 7: are locked and we can lock it from the inside
Speaker 7: and prevent anyone from coming in from the outside. And
Speaker 7: that's what this individual did. Had all sorts of problems,
Speaker 7: and the captain had gone out to go to the
Speaker 7: barroom and then wasn't allowed back in and the rest
Speaker 7: is history. So very very sad, but that's why we
Speaker 7: have all sorts of medical assessments and things. And the
Speaker 7: laws are very different here in that if one of
Speaker 7: our doctors felt that we were of any danger to
Speaker 7: ourselves or other people, then they have the duty of
Speaker 7: care and the right to disclose to stop people from
Speaker 7: continuing on, Whereas I believe in Germany that the privacy
Speaker 7: laws were such that there were doctors who knew there
Speaker 7: was a problem but weren't able to actually do anything
Speaker 7: about it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so.
Speaker 7: You'd like to think it wouldn't happen here because if
Speaker 7: any doctor had concerns and they have to report it,
Speaker 7: and likewise we would of our colleague if we thought
Speaker 7: something's not right with them, then we would certainly take
Speaker 7: steps to make sure that they got help and weren't
Speaker 7: allowed back in the aeroplane until everything was sorted with them.
Speaker 6: Anything else there, Bob, No, that.
Speaker 25: Was answered my question to stop another lunatic outside in
Speaker 25: the cabin getting the X.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we don't have them outside in line.
Speaker 25: No, but the captain was using one in this term.
Speaker 7: Yes, that's right. Well, they obviously stored it out in
Speaker 7: the cabin. We don't, but he knew where it was.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah, we have to know where everything is
Speaker 7: on the airplane, even in the cabin. So yeah, he
Speaker 7: was trying his best to get back in, but sadly
Speaker 7: didn't didn't help.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 25: I finally found out if all that well, that yes,
Speaker 25: it really did happen.
Speaker 7: That's my understanding of it.
Speaker 25: Yes, me the frustrated that poor captain would.
Speaker 7: Have been terrifying knowing that, ye, knowing that you can't
Speaker 7: do anything. There's if there's an air crash investigations episode
Speaker 7: where something similar happened in Mozambique, in fact in Africa,
Speaker 7: where the first officer decided after the captain had left
Speaker 7: the flight deck to do something, and it also ended
Speaker 7: the same way. But as I say, we're much more
Speaker 7: vigilant here and the authorities have more power and they
Speaker 7: are required to disclose if they feel that someone's potentially
Speaker 7: got some issues.
Speaker 6: How often, if you don't mind me, ask, how often
Speaker 6: do you have some sort of medical medical man?
Speaker 7: Now, for norm for generally for private pilots, it's every
Speaker 7: two years. Once you get your commercial license and everything,
Speaker 7: it's every year, and then once you hit sixty five,
Speaker 7: then you've got to do it every six months.
Speaker 9: Ye.
Speaker 7: So I have a medical every six months.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, cool sixty five. I didn't realize you were
Speaker 6: that on. You look younger than me.
Speaker 7: That's very kind of you to say, signing Leanne is
Speaker 7: in Mina Anne.
Speaker 6: And Joe Haileen.
Speaker 18: I'm not sure if I can remember. I asked you
Speaker 18: about my little friend's bat and you said to get
Speaker 18: to do an emergency.
Speaker 14: Yes, right away.
Speaker 4: Yes, she had some sort of link answer lymphomer.
Speaker 18: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, she wasn't a well kitten and
Speaker 18: she just got work, got worth anyway. That's one thing
Speaker 18: I wasn't sure if I mentioned that she's.
Speaker 7: No, you didn't not the follow up, but yeah, And
Speaker 7: that's sometimes how it happens that that often they they
Speaker 7: they're fine, and they're okay for quite some time, and
Speaker 7: then appear to go downhill very quickly, and then when
Speaker 7: you have a look at them and you go, hang on, well,
Speaker 7: this has been building up for some time. Animals have
Speaker 7: a big advantage over us. And as soon as we're
Speaker 7: feeling a little bit odd or we notice something a
Speaker 7: little lump or whatever, then we should get ourselves off
Speaker 7: to the doctor, whereas animals don't. As long as they're
Speaker 7: feeling okay, they just keep going, and there can be
Speaker 7: all sorts of things brewing inside them that just keep
Speaker 7: going until it reaches a point where it does cause
Speaker 7: them some problems, and then they'll, yeah, they'll go downhill
Speaker 7: what appears to be very quickly.
Speaker 18: Also, if I may ask Nathan, I've got a fifteen
Speaker 18: year old cat in one area, two seven year old
Speaker 18: cats in another area, and I've got a one year
Speaker 18: old in another area. How the hell do I integrate them?
Speaker 7: Well, it depends on the individuals. There are some that
Speaker 7: will tolerate each other, there are some that will become buddies,
Speaker 7: and there are some that just they will not. Cats
Speaker 7: are very territorial, and their territory is not one area
Speaker 7: they've discovered. They've had people that have spent time watching
Speaker 7: where cats go and what they do, and they'll have
Speaker 7: a bit of territory here, and a bit of territory here,
Speaker 7: and a bit of territory there. Where you run into
Speaker 7: problems is when they're going from one bit of territory
Speaker 7: to the other because they're going through someone else's territory
Speaker 7: and so that can cause a bit of a problem.
Speaker 7: And that's where you get a lot of these fights.
Speaker 7: When you know when you're getting the cats crossing over,
Speaker 7: so look, it's worth just trying to see if they'll
Speaker 7: cope with each other. And most of them will just
Speaker 7: sort of keep away from each other initially, but if
Speaker 7: you see that they're getting aggressive, then you're just going
Speaker 7: to have to keep them apart. You can try if
Speaker 7: they're indoors, a product that I mentioned from time to
Speaker 7: time called feely Way, and it's a plug in thing
Speaker 7: that you put in the wall like one of those
Speaker 7: air fresheners, and it puts out a pheromone, so a
Speaker 7: feel good hormone that doesn't do anything for us or
Speaker 7: any other species. It's specific for cats. There is a
Speaker 7: dog version of it as well, but if you try that,
Speaker 7: that can help just to calm them down a little.
Speaker 7: And you can pick that up from a pet shop.
Speaker 7: And there's something else you can get from a pet
Speaker 7: shop that it is a milk protein and it will
Speaker 7: just help you put it on the food. You don't
Speaker 7: use the cat dose, who use the big dog dose.
Speaker 7: And because it's just a milk protein, it's not like
Speaker 7: a drug that has to have a particular dose, and
Speaker 7: that can help to take the edge off them as well.
Speaker 7: And if you do that for a while before you
Speaker 7: try and introduce them, that may help just to put
Speaker 7: them in a better frame of mind and they won't
Speaker 7: get too wound up about sharing territory or finding their
Speaker 7: own territory.
Speaker 6: Or get them all stoned.
Speaker 7: Well there's that. Yeah, you put them in the room
Speaker 7: after you've smoked a couple of joints or something, Leanne,
Speaker 7: then you know, hopefully they and they'll mellow out, although
Speaker 7: they will be hungry, so you do need to give
Speaker 7: some plenty of food.
Speaker 6: I'm joking, yes, of course, just just to clarify that, Yes,
Speaker 6: does that work for you.
Speaker 26: Leanne.
Speaker 7: Sil Keane. Yeah, that's the that's the that's the protein,
Speaker 7: and it comes in a capsule. You don't give them
Speaker 7: the capsule. You just open the capsule and then tip
Speaker 7: it onto their food z y l K E N
Speaker 7: E and you use the big dog does and they
Speaker 7: quite like it. So you can just tip it on
Speaker 7: some wet food because it's a powdered no good on
Speaker 7: dry food. So yeah, and it will just help to
Speaker 7: just take the edge off them. So if you do
Speaker 7: that for a little while, a few weeks before you
Speaker 7: decide you're going to try and use them. It might
Speaker 7: just help a little bit as well. And the feely way,
Speaker 7: so there are things you don't need or for which
Speaker 7: you don't need a prescription, so you can pick those
Speaker 7: up and see if they're going.
Speaker 18: To help it all mainly my female yep.
Speaker 7: And give it to all of them. And then that way,
Speaker 7: you don't just give it to the one that is
Speaker 7: apparently the bully, because sometimes the bully is only defending
Speaker 7: itself and the other one it's provoking them so when
Speaker 7: you're not looking correct and it's just sometimes the body language.
Speaker 7: So although they're not overtly aggressive, they can be very
Speaker 7: threatening and it's the one that's reacting that you think
Speaker 7: is the one that's the troublemaker, but it's just trying
Speaker 7: to defend itself. So give it to all of them.
Speaker 7: Try it for a few weeks and then just see
Speaker 7: how you go. Introducing them for short periods. Start just
Speaker 7: before they're due to be fed, and then that way
Speaker 7: you can then put the food back in their areas
Speaker 7: and so they can just have limited exposure to each
Speaker 7: other and see if that helps excellent.
Speaker 6: See how you go leand report back in a couple
Speaker 6: of weeks would be interesting. To hear how it goes. Yes,
Speaker 6: it's a twenty six to two. That's if you're in Victoria,
Speaker 6: if you're in Western Australia, twenty six to midnight, and
Speaker 6: if you're in South Australia it's four after one. More
Speaker 6: with Nathan cost in a sec We were talking about
Speaker 6: trivia earlier from Doctor John One reason we like trivia.
Speaker 6: Each time you successfully answer a trivia question, your brain
Speaker 6: gives you a small dopamine boost, creating a sense of
Speaker 6: accomplishment and reinforcing your desire to play again. The dopamine
Speaker 6: reward not only makes trivia fun, but also strengthens your
Speaker 6: ability to recall facts more easily in the future.
Speaker 7: Which makes perfect sense. And that's why people get addicted
Speaker 7: to various things, because you just get a little boost
Speaker 7: of pleasure with that and say you continue or you
Speaker 7: want to continue that behavior.
Speaker 6: Yes, so that's why I remember a lot of interesting facts.
Speaker 6: But I forget to buy a toothpaste when I'm at the.
Speaker 7: Shops, absolutely because that doesn't trigger any sort of enjoyable emotion.
Speaker 6: Toothpaste doesn't make me happy at all. Maggie's in Adelaide.
Speaker 14: Hi, Maggie, Oh hi, Hi there Sime then then name
Speaker 14: hello Meggie.
Speaker 27: Yeah yeah, Now may I digress somewhat. I don't know
Speaker 27: which way to go, the one club a slasher, the Chase, yes,
Speaker 27: or my children and they're different. Three children, dark hair,
Speaker 27: blue eyes, brown eyes and all that. So which one
Speaker 27: shall I start with?
Speaker 7: Well, let's start with the one percent club slash the Chase.
Speaker 7: I do like the Chase, I have to say this
Speaker 7: English version as well as the Australian version.
Speaker 27: Yes, no, okay, yeah, yeah, I do like the chase,
Speaker 27: but in that case, I prefer the Australian version.
Speaker 7: Yes, with Larry Ender.
Speaker 27: Yeah yeah, but I think it's a little bit too
Speaker 27: slow sometimes.
Speaker 7: Well that's why they're using it up with that wheel
Speaker 7: that they have that boosts the money and that type
Speaker 7: of thing, because I think they're copying a lot of
Speaker 7: pressure from the on Channel nine at the same time
Speaker 7: with todd Woodbridge tipping point and that's a bit more,
Speaker 7: a bit more rasmetas, so I think they're trying to
Speaker 7: juge up the chase just a little bit as well.
Speaker 27: Oh I haven't watched the the that one, but I've
Speaker 27: heard of this. Yeah, but I prefer the Australian version
Speaker 27: of the.
Speaker 7: Chase, Andrew O'Keefe or Larry Ender.
Speaker 28: Larry and.
Speaker 27: I look, Keith was a flamboyant and I quite liked
Speaker 27: him despite whatever was.
Speaker 19: You know, his.
Speaker 6: Television persona and perform was exceptional.
Speaker 24: Good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with that, very talented person, the lawyer
Speaker 7: by training and a singer as well, and nephew of
Speaker 7: course of the late Johnny o'key.
Speaker 6: Yes, just some character flaws. Yeah.
Speaker 27: So also having said that, I quite like the one
Speaker 27: said club. It's abstraight thinking, you know, that type of thing,
Speaker 27: and so perhaps the UK version it really doesn't matter
Speaker 27: because whatever the questions are, it's not related to that
Speaker 27: of the UK or.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, because sometimes with the quiz shows they ask
Speaker 7: very specific sort of English questions or American questions or whatever.
Speaker 7: So but as you say, with the one Percent Club,
Speaker 7: they just it's general brain brain teasers and puzzles. I
Speaker 7: sometimes find it annoying because you look at it, and
Speaker 7: you look at it, and you look at it, I
Speaker 7: haven't got a clue. And then when they tell you
Speaker 7: the answer and explain why you think that is so
Speaker 7: bloom and obvious? Why did I not see it?
Speaker 6: So I'm pretty good at those pictorial and spacious, spatial,
Speaker 6: but I cannot, for the life of me do a
Speaker 6: cryptic crossword.
Speaker 7: Yes, different skills the Sorry, Maggie, I love them. Cryptic crosswords. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I can't do them either. I think once you've done
Speaker 7: a number of them, you kind of get the patterns
Speaker 7: and you get the way that they ask the questions.
Speaker 7: But I'm like you, Simon, I just you know, some
Speaker 7: of them have the normal clues and the cryptic clues,
Speaker 7: and then when you do the normal one and then
Speaker 7: you look at the cryptic one, you go, Okay, I
Speaker 7: see how they got that. But I couldn't think to
Speaker 7: sort that out. But I guess you get used to it,
Speaker 7: and you get to learn the way that they ask
Speaker 7: these things.
Speaker 6: Now make you We've got to move on. But what
Speaker 6: did you want to say about your kids and genetics?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 27: Okay, going onto that of course, mother of three children,
Speaker 27: same father. The oldest was brown hair, brown eyes, second
Speaker 27: blonde hair, blue eyes, and the third well then blonde hair,
Speaker 27: sort of brownish, shy.
Speaker 7: You go one with a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Are you sure you're the mother?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 21: Oh?
Speaker 7: Absolutely, That's what It's funny you say that, Simon, because
Speaker 7: when my son was born, he was an absolute dead
Speaker 7: spinning image of me. Yes, and he had I was
Speaker 7: blonde as a child and blue eyes, and my ex
Speaker 7: very dark olive skin, very dark hair and brown eyes.
Speaker 7: And then when Philip was born, they said, well, I'm
Speaker 7: sure I'm the father, but I can't be sure that
Speaker 7: my ex is the mother.
Speaker 6: Yes, which people? It takes that moment, Yeah, I go,
Speaker 6: hang on, yeah, exactly. I got that joke. I always
Speaker 6: say everything I ever learned I got from comedy Robin
Speaker 6: Williams when his wife was pregnant with it their first child.
Speaker 6: As part of his stand up routine, He's up there
Speaker 6: on stage doing all this stuff and then he says
Speaker 6: I'm about to become a father, and there's a big
Speaker 6: round of applause, and he says, I don't know who
Speaker 6: the mother is. Very funny line. It is, thank you, Maggie.
Speaker 6: Norma's in w A. Hello Norma, good morning him.
Speaker 7: Good. How's the evening in w A?
Speaker 26: Very pleasantly. I don't think this much rain, but we
Speaker 26: have a nice day today.
Speaker 7: Lovely, very strange weather we're having, isn't it around the place?
Speaker 26: Very odd? Simon. I was in the hospitality yesterday talking
Speaker 26: to a dear Christian friend of mine. Now, I asked
Speaker 26: her a question, what about her faith? I said to her,
Speaker 26: if Jesus defeated Satan at Calvary, why did he leave
Speaker 26: him on earth for us to contend with? Her answer
Speaker 26: really surprised me. Without Satan, the Bible loses all its power, fear,
Speaker 26: and purpose.
Speaker 7: That's it. Well, you've got to have a bad guy,
Speaker 7: don't you, and a protagonist in movies and things. Otherwise
Speaker 7: it gets a bit boring.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Absolutely, the balance you've got to Yeah, to have good,
Speaker 6: you've got to have evil, otherwise there's no counterbalance the good.
Speaker 6: If we never knew what sadness was, we wouldn't know
Speaker 6: what it's like to be happy.
Speaker 26: That's right, that's correct, that's correct.
Speaker 19: Yeah.
Speaker 26: Now, as far as the genie, I have three children.
Speaker 26: They I've got one olive skin, brown hair, one freckly skinned,
Speaker 26: ginger hair, one dad hair, freckly skinned, same father. Unbelievable?
Speaker 26: Is that variation right throughout my family?
Speaker 7: Yes? Do people ask questions of you?
Speaker 26: Well, it's a funny thing. No, no one's ever no
Speaker 26: one's ever questioned. But the girls were doing their family
Speaker 26: trees and they got there, what do you call it?
Speaker 7: When you get your blood tested DNA tested.
Speaker 26: Yeah, and they said to me, there moment shows that
Speaker 26: were even related to dad's sister.
Speaker 7: That's handy, good to know, will, But no.
Speaker 26: I had never had any doubts or questions, so I'd
Speaker 26: never questioned it. When they came up.
Speaker 7: With was yes, although you've got to be careful about
Speaker 7: those DNA tests because a friend of mine who was
Speaker 7: blonde hair, blue eyes, wanted to see if there was
Speaker 7: any sort of Scandinavian blood in the family and did
Speaker 7: the DNA test and found out that preps wasn't.
Speaker 25: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Really it is better to know, though, yeah, I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: because it gives you a chance to find out who
Speaker 6: you're yes, your blood relatives.
Speaker 7: Yes, and well they're talking about that also if you've
Speaker 7: got any genetic conditions that run through the family, then
Speaker 7: at least to be able to identify those and then
Speaker 7: make some decisions if you're going to have kids, that
Speaker 7: type of thing. But yeah, it certainly was through a
Speaker 7: spanner in the works when all of that came out.
Speaker 7: But anyway, well I.
Speaker 6: Did a DNA test and a cousin of mine who
Speaker 6: also has the same we have our accounts with my heritage. Yes,
Speaker 6: he also did his DNA and we came up as cousins.
Speaker 6: So that's andy good. Yeah, that's reinforced to know that. Yes,
Speaker 6: it's just a peace of mind. Yes, thank you, dorm.
Speaker 6: We must break. We'll get to more calls after this
Speaker 6: and you'll be up next. And Annette has called from
Speaker 6: long Weary. Hi earn it Hi? Hellah, yeah, good, thank you.
Speaker 7: Hello, and Nett Long Warri is a lovely part of
Speaker 7: the world.
Speaker 29: Oh, I've got a gold Retriever.
Speaker 30: Yes, maybe fifteen months old.
Speaker 26: Right, he's killing me.
Speaker 21: He what sorry, he's killing me.
Speaker 30: He's chewed my out door.
Speaker 6: So he's chewing he's chewing things, is he?
Speaker 31: Oh yeah, I want some.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, if look, you need to give him some
Speaker 7: sort of diversion. So has he got lots of toys
Speaker 7: and things that he is allowed to chew a lot
Speaker 7: of toys?
Speaker 32: But unfortunately I'm a single mom.
Speaker 31: Yeah, I worked twenty four to seven.
Speaker 30: Yeah, so I've can't even taking walking.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's probably part of it because he's getting
Speaker 7: bored and he's starting just to develop an antisocial behavior.
Speaker 7: If you like one of the things that you can
Speaker 7: get and they're not terribly expensive. A food releasing toy
Speaker 7: different brands, as a brand called Kong that's probably the
Speaker 7: best known of them, and your stuff them full of food.
Speaker 7: There are ones that you can put in dry food
Speaker 7: or wet food, but peanut butter or liverwurst or paate
Speaker 7: or that type of thing, or there's ones that you
Speaker 7: can put in dry food and as it rolls around,
Speaker 7: it slowly releases the dry food and that can help
Speaker 7: to keep him occupied for a while. Now, obviously, if
Speaker 7: you're giving him that food, reduce his normal meal by
Speaker 7: that amount. Otherwise he's going to be putting on weight
Speaker 7: because he's giving him the extra food. But it might
Speaker 7: be that you need to do something like that to
Speaker 7: help distract him because they can take some hours for
Speaker 7: the food to be dispensed, and maybe that's just going
Speaker 7: to keep him away from chomping on things that he
Speaker 7: doesn't chomp. The other thing that you might be able
Speaker 7: to do if you've got a neighbor or a friend
Speaker 7: that's happy or able to take him out walking and
Speaker 7: giving him some stimulation, because otherwise, if he's just sort
Speaker 7: of sitting at home by himself and getting bored, then
Speaker 7: that's how he's picked up this kind of behavior. So
Speaker 7: getting a dog walker or a friend or a relative
Speaker 7: or a neighbor who would be happy to take him
Speaker 7: for walks might help as well. Just to keep him occupied.
Speaker 7: I think that's what you need to do, is to
Speaker 7: displace his behavior and keep him occupied and busy, and
Speaker 7: then hopefully he won't be doing all the chewing.
Speaker 31: Nathan, he's not on his own, he's.
Speaker 32: Got a partner.
Speaker 7: Yes, even then, you know, it's just he probably wants
Speaker 7: your company. But yeah, try try the food releasing toys
Speaker 7: and see if that helps you at all. If not,
Speaker 7: you might need to find a dog trainer or a
Speaker 7: dog behavior somewhere in your area there and have a
Speaker 7: chat with them and see if they've got some other strategies.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I know you said that money's a bit tight. Yeah,
Speaker 6: maybe just googling, Yeah, absolutely a bit for training. Yeah,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of training things out there. Just be
Speaker 6: a little bit wary.
Speaker 7: Some people have got some pretty unusual ideas about dog training.
Speaker 7: But yeah, have a look on Google and see. But
Speaker 7: I think you know, because they're so food driven, particularly
Speaker 7: golden retrievers, then just giving him something to keep him
Speaker 7: occupied might be it. And it might be that his
Speaker 7: partner is, you know, not providing him the stimulation that
Speaker 7: he would otherwise need.
Speaker 6: Good on your net. Good luck with that. Let's know
Speaker 6: in coming weeks how it goes, if you can help
Speaker 6: settle him down there, Yes, another break, we'll be back
Speaker 6: to wrap it up before news. Nathan Cosh is here
Speaker 6: for only another three minutes before he rides off or
Speaker 6: flies off into the sunmit.
Speaker 7: So I get on my broom and head off, so.
Speaker 6: We've got time to squeeze one more. Calling Simon's in
Speaker 6: Colac Hi, Simon, good Simon.

Speaker 7: know at the time though, was actually a New Zealand
Speaker 7: World War II fighter race Well really, the course, there's
Speaker 7: some things and I knew, well, it's her name of Rhodes,
Speaker 7: first name of Howard, so of course he was known
Speaker 7: to all and sundry as Dusty Dusty Roads.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, for all the years that I had no idea.
Speaker 7: Mike only told me later some of his exploits, and
Speaker 7: I thought, wow, if only i'd known when he was around.
Speaker 7: Just it's amazing to hear some of the stories of
Speaker 7: these people, not glorifying anything, but just some of the
Speaker 7: stuff that they had to do. And they were, you know,
Speaker 7: sort of eighteen year old kids thrown into the war
Speaker 7: and yeah, just terrible. But anyway, he was a real character,
Speaker 7: that's for sure.
Speaker 6: News is coming up a bit very quickly, Bud Tingwell, Yes, actor,
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, my night, we're interviewing and

Speaker 6: Now our number three of Australia Overnight. Thank you, Nathan Kosh.
Speaker 6: Nathan Kosh on his way home now he'll be listening
Speaker 6: and paying close attention and he's waiting for your calls
Speaker 6: now one double three six nine three or one double
Speaker 6: three eight eighty two. But Jay, you and I had
Speaker 6: a chat before the program and you told me little story.
Speaker 9: Yes, I did, told you my story about what happens
Speaker 9: yesterday afternoon. Everything was going nice and well. Wife and
Speaker 9: I we were just out in the backyard there planning
Speaker 9: some herbs and then she said herbs, Yeah, any in
Speaker 9: particular or different?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 9: Can we go and plant some herbs? Okay, I'm not
Speaker 9: all well, cart coriander, which I don't like. No, it's horrible,
Speaker 9: isn't it. Mint?
Speaker 6: All those herbs, yeah, mint, min mint smell nice at least?
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can use them for anything.
Speaker 6: But yeah, a couple of other herbs in there, to
Speaker 6: some Parsley perhaps.
Speaker 9: Yes, Parsley was in there. Old Parsley got to have
Speaker 9: Parsley in there. But then she said, if you wouldn't mind,
Speaker 9: just go around to the shed and get some snail repellents. Yep,
Speaker 9: so the snails don't have a bit of a lunch
Speaker 9: on them as well. So I said, yeah, no is
Speaker 9: that's on the other side of the house. So I
Speaker 9: went walking and I had which I shouldn't have done.
Speaker 9: I had my head down while I was walking, which
Speaker 9: is okay sometimes, but all of a sudden, out of
Speaker 9: the blue, I hit my head on something and that
Speaker 9: thing was a it's only been up for a couple
Speaker 9: of couple of weeks. Actually is the lines, the clothes
Speaker 9: close lines, thank you, clothesline, which is attached to the wall.
Speaker 6: So it's one of those hills hoist things that you
Speaker 6: pull it out from the wall, and the Scot's coming
Speaker 6: out and said into place, and I.
Speaker 9: Didn't realize that it was up in the correct position.
Speaker 6: And you just walked smack into it with no clothes
Speaker 6: on it. There was no clothes, so it was just
Speaker 6: the with with no, Oh it wasn't. Sorry, Yeah, I
Speaker 6: walked into the clothesline with no clothes exactly. Yes, no,
Speaker 6: wonder you distracted.
Speaker 9: That's right. I was looking down, but yes, I just
Speaker 9: bumped into it and there was no we weren't trying
Speaker 9: any clothes on it, so it was just whack straight
Speaker 9: into it. And it was right on top of my head.
Speaker 9: I don't know if it's because I'm getting old or
Speaker 9: anything like that, but that's over on the afternoon or
Speaker 9: the evening. Smack straight into the clothes Yeah, right on
Speaker 9: top of the head because I was looking down.
Speaker 2: And Yeah.
Speaker 6: There's wonderful clips that you see on on Instagram and
Speaker 6: all those social media things, compilations of what we used
Speaker 6: to see on funniest home videos, all those sorts of things.
Speaker 6: And one of my favorite ones to see is when
Speaker 6: people put together a compilation of people walking into garage doors.
Speaker 6: There's ones where they've got the remote control garage door,
Speaker 6: so they're inside, they hit the button to lower it
Speaker 6: and then try and get out before the garage door
Speaker 6: comes down. It's just run straight into it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's good fun. Actually been safe. But yes, I
Speaker 9: understand what you mean.
Speaker 6: I hit my head on things occasionally, because because I'm bald,
Speaker 6: I tend to never I try to never go outside
Speaker 6: without a hat on because it's and it's not well.
Speaker 6: I love wearing my hats anyway, but because I'm bald,
Speaker 6: and because I've been baled a long time, I know,
Speaker 6: and it happens to everyone who's baled. Once they hit
Speaker 6: sixty or whatever, plus they end up you end up
Speaker 6: getting little growths and things that you have to get
Speaker 6: cut out of your head. It's just a it's a
Speaker 6: thing for bald people. It always happens. So I always
Speaker 6: try never to go outside without a hat on. But
Speaker 6: the problem with having a peek on your hat, on
Speaker 6: your baseball cap or on the hats like I wear,
Speaker 6: is that if you are looking down a little bit,
Speaker 6: you actually don't see me. So I'll walk up to
Speaker 6: the shops and I'll be walking back and I'll hit
Speaker 6: my head on tree branches all the time because I'm
Speaker 6: carrying a bag of shopping and I'm just walking along,
Speaker 6: and because you're carrying something heavy, you're sort of hunched over,
Speaker 6: and just a smidge that brings your head down and
Speaker 6: bang into.
Speaker 9: A tree, yeah, or a door sometimes when you're opening
Speaker 9: up the door, you know with it?
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was in a total other world when I
Speaker 9: was walking around the back of the house there and
Speaker 9: I just did not realize. I didn't even think that
Speaker 9: it was up at that time, and I must have
Speaker 9: been looking down at something concentrating on the ground.
Speaker 6: But just whack, whack into the clothesline. What did you
Speaker 6: walk into? One double three six nine three or one
Speaker 6: double three eight eighty two. I'd love to take some
Speaker 6: calls on that.
Speaker 7: What hit you?
Speaker 6: Jay was unexpectedly hit by the clothes line? So what
Speaker 6: hit you in your life? One double three six nine
Speaker 6: three or one double three eighty two. We've had a
Speaker 6: whole heapotexts have come through. We've been so busy with
Speaker 6: Nathan we haven't been able to read most of them out,
Speaker 6: but thank you Rob, who has texted through about six
Speaker 6: times now. So I'll read this one out so I
Speaker 6: can stop texting Rob. We do see every text, but
Speaker 6: we don't get to read them all out. But Rob writes,
Speaker 6: get better, Tony, you may be back on May you
Speaker 6: be back on the airwaves soon? Expecting you to be
Speaker 6: sharper and more efficient than Melbourne's forward light on your
Speaker 6: return I reckon if Melbourne won, you might have bounced
Speaker 6: back sooner. Look forward to when we next get to
Speaker 6: discuss another topic. Good on your Rob. It's a very
Speaker 6: kind words for Tony McManus, who I should just reiterate
Speaker 6: is just is still a bit unwell. He's taking to
Speaker 6: this morning off. He's taking tomorrow morning off as well,
Speaker 6: but he's hoping to be back on Thursday morning, Wednesday
Speaker 6: night Thursday morning for Australia Overnight. Tiffy in South Meringue.
Speaker 6: My little Brian is doing all right while his mummy
Speaker 6: that's me, is trying to get the bathroom sorted and
Speaker 6: waiting for each payday, which is every fortnight. My little
Speaker 6: Brian is being fed and watered and doesn't give about me.
Speaker 6: Typical mail, isn't he? God love him? Thank you Tiffy
Speaker 6: for that one. Mark is in Werribee. How are you Mark?
Speaker 6: Yes it is yes, Goody.
Speaker 24: Heard you say before that you were part time.
Speaker 6: However I'm a casual employee of the station.
Speaker 22: Yes.
Speaker 24: How many days a week or nights a week do
Speaker 24: you work?
Speaker 6: It sort of varies. My standard working week is I
Speaker 6: host a Saturday night show on AW and a Sunday
Speaker 6: night show, which is remember when then I do a
Speaker 6: segment with Dennis Walter on a Monday, and I panel
Speaker 6: usually two days a week for Dennis as well, So
Speaker 6: that's often the Monday Tuesday. Sometimes it's the Tuesday Wednesday,
Speaker 6: so it's it's basically a four day week I work,
Speaker 6: but there's four two five years because if I'm if
Speaker 6: I'm doing my segment on a Monday, some days I'm
Speaker 6: also paneling, so it's sort of a two in one.
Speaker 6: But other days, you know, I'll come in just for
Speaker 6: the segment, but you know, then I'll be actually paneling
Speaker 6: a full shift on the Tuesday and Wednesday. So it's
Speaker 6: a four or five day week most weeks.
Speaker 24: Yeah, because it surprised me when you said it, because
Speaker 24: it feels like you're on you know, like a full
Speaker 24: time I listen to you all the time. But you know,
Speaker 24: the thing that really surprised me, I've never thought of
Speaker 24: it backwards like this before, but you now talk about
Speaker 24: the four day work week. Yeah, well, I wonder if
Speaker 24: it would apply in reverse, like if just say that
Speaker 24: they move forward with it, right, and full time workers
Speaker 24: like I'm full time, I work from home, but just
Speaker 24: say that they move forward and I become a four
Speaker 24: day week worker. Well, then I wonder if part time
Speaker 24: workers who work four days a week then say, well,
Speaker 24: hang on a minute, like yourself, I work four days
Speaker 24: a week, now, shouldn't I be now be made a
Speaker 24: full time worker because they're five day worker texing week
Speaker 24: people are now full time for four days, So then
Speaker 24: part time four day week is workers the full time?
Speaker 6: Yeah. Look, it's a good question, isn't it. Look I
Speaker 6: would tend to think that what we would classes full time,
Speaker 6: I think needs to come down to hours. Like, if
Speaker 6: you work eight hours a day, five days a week,
Speaker 6: that's forty hours. But if you work four days a
Speaker 6: week and ten hours a day, so get in the
Speaker 6: office at eight, get and finish at six, then if
Speaker 6: you do that four days a week, that's also forty hours.
Speaker 6: But if you're a part time or a casual, you
Speaker 6: might be starting at ten finishing at three, which would
Speaker 6: mean you're only doing you know, twenty hours a week.
Speaker 6: So I think it needs to come down to I
Speaker 6: think a full time job should be depending on how
Speaker 6: many hours you do each week, rather than how many
Speaker 6: days it takes to know how many days you're in
Speaker 6: the office, They.
Speaker 24: Wouldn't want to start counting some of their hours that
Speaker 24: we be working two days a week.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's the thing for me as well. There's a
Speaker 6: difference between attending and working.
Speaker 24: But I love all your shows, especially the Back in Time,
Speaker 24: and I really feel like you're take transport it all
Speaker 24: back in time.
Speaker 2: It's really great. Thanks so much.
Speaker 6: You're very kind, Mark. I appreciate the call. Thank you. Yes,
Speaker 6: that's remember when on a Sunday night on AW and
Speaker 6: the other perk to my job, that's my regular working
Speaker 6: there's hosting the Saturday Sundays paneling a couple of days,
Speaker 6: which is pushing the buttons to put the calls and
Speaker 6: stuff to wear the job that Jay's basically doing here. Now.
Speaker 6: I do that a couple of days a week for
Speaker 6: the Dennis Walter program on AW. But I also I'm
Speaker 6: an occasional footy tech, so when the station's doing football
Speaker 6: coverage out at the venues at the mcg or Marvel Stadium,
Speaker 6: I occasionally am out there pushing the buttons out there.
Speaker 6: I'm sort of emergency relief when other people aren't available
Speaker 6: or sick. I'll come in and do that, and then
Speaker 6: I fill in occasionally here on Australia overnight when Tony's away. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so I've got little extra bits and pieces that pop
Speaker 6: up once in a while to keep me going as well.
Speaker 6: But I was a full time employee. This is my
Speaker 6: thirtieth year here, and I was a full time employee
Speaker 6: for twenty five years. And it's the last five years
Speaker 6: I've been casual, which actually it suits me fine. It's
Speaker 6: a good little life I've got here. They have looked
Speaker 6: after me.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 6: Appreciate the call. It's nineteen after two in Melbourne. That's
Speaker 6: nineteen after midnight in Perth, and in Adelaide it's eleven
Speaker 6: minutes to two. A break and back with you, Katrina
Speaker 6: and Tony and anyone else who wants to call as well.
Speaker 6: One double three six nine three, one double three eight
Speaker 6: eighty two give us a call. We are taking your
Speaker 6: calls on one double three six nine three and one
Speaker 6: double three eight eighty two. And Jay's just brought up
Speaker 6: a news story. I don't often sort of delve into
Speaker 6: breaking news, but there is stuff happening at the moment.
Speaker 6: Tourists flee as Mount Etna volcano erupts, one of the
Speaker 6: world's largest volcanoes, has spectacularly erupted, sending visitors fleeing off
Speaker 6: the mountain side as lava bombs landed. The story says
Speaker 6: one of Europe's largest volcanoes has erupted, sending hot ash
Speaker 6: as high as five kilometers into the air. Mount Etna,
Speaker 6: on the Italian island of Sicily, close to the city
Speaker 6: of Catania, erupted on Monday. Video shows people who are
Speaker 6: on the volcano running for safety, running for safety. One too.
Speaker 6: A firm told us broadcast to CNN that as many
Speaker 6: as forty people were on the volcano when it erupted.
Speaker 6: No injuries have been reported. It is National Institute of
Speaker 6: Geophysics and Volcanology. It sounds like something out of Star Trek,
Speaker 6: doesn't it. Volcanology Volcanology said there were Strombolian explosions of
Speaker 6: increasing intensity. Strombolian eruptions are relatively mild for volcanoes and
Speaker 6: include the ejection of cinders and burning chunks of lava,
Speaker 6: known as lava bombs, hundreds of meters into the air.
Speaker 6: Lava flows are often thicker, so they're slower and shorter
Speaker 6: from a seismic point of view. The values of the
Speaker 6: magnitude of the trema are currently elevated with a tendency
Speaker 6: to increase. Further stated, the INGV authorities have said the
Speaker 6: lava flows were likely caused by the collapse of material
Speaker 6: on the northern side of etna's southeast crater. So, and
Speaker 6: they've got pictures there with all the hot spots of
Speaker 6: lava flowing. That picture of they've got a thermal image
Speaker 6: and it actually looks like what does that look like
Speaker 6: to you, Jay? It looks it looks like the outline
Speaker 6: of somebody vomiting, yes, or from the Simpsons, Madge with
Speaker 6: the Oh yeah, it looks like Marge. It's got margin's hair.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a bit of a margin there. And the
Speaker 9: cat in the hat.
Speaker 6: That's quite interesting. It's it's just the lava flow, but
Speaker 6: it actually looks the image of it quite funny. It
Speaker 6: could be cat and the hat as well. Yeah, there
Speaker 6: you go. Anyway, So if you've got relatives in Italy,
Speaker 6: get on the blower. See how they're going. More than
Speaker 6: a million people visit each year, which is relatively easy
Speaker 6: to hike. So there you go. So that's happening as
Speaker 6: we speak. Let's get to you called Katrina's in Gippsland. Hi, Katrina.
Speaker 31: Hello, So someone and regarding regarding your comments. Now just
Speaker 31: maybe you two people might need concussion checks. Yes, And
Speaker 31: I was just thinking just quickly because I did.
Speaker 14: Jay.
Speaker 31: He asked me how I was, and I just when
Speaker 31: I rang before, I said better than you, Lovey. Have
Speaker 31: you ever heard of the Montague Bridge?
Speaker 6: Oh, that's wonderful.
Speaker 31: And that I think you know Shannon Lush, who still
Speaker 31: works with Dennis Walter. Thank goodness, I could be artic
Speaker 31: betraying the safety tips and helplines seriously, Jake, because he
Speaker 31: put me, he just put me on hold straight away
Speaker 31: to put something a pot like as the shade or
Speaker 31: something just underneath that spot along the wall of the
Speaker 31: house so he never walks into that spot where the
Speaker 31: hanging box for the washing the line comes out again. Yeah,
Speaker 31: put away, it's going to be fluo and non breakable,
Speaker 31: lovely fern or something that stays. It doesn't interrupt with
Speaker 31: the washing hanging down. Yes, and it's lovely to speak.
Speaker 31: So I haven't spoken you since Christy time, and it's
Speaker 31: just regarding you. How tall you I can't remember.
Speaker 30: How tall you are.
Speaker 9: Me.
Speaker 6: I'm what they call a Collingwood six footer, which means
Speaker 6: I'm five foot eleven and three quarters.
Speaker 31: Oh so yeah, yeah, because it's just to be tall
Speaker 31: and short and whatever. And I thought, well, you know,
Speaker 31: regarding because you meant to have overhang clear and signs
Speaker 31: on footpaths anyway, because I bit tall than you and
Speaker 31: I was shrunk a bit now. But you need a
Speaker 31: little bonnet or something with a strap on it, or
Speaker 31: just a round safety helmet with a straps. When you
Speaker 31: hit your noggin on the branch, it doesn't hat doesn't
Speaker 31: fall off.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I need a stack cat, That's what I need.
Speaker 6: A stack hat instead of a hat.
Speaker 31: Yes, just something lovely though for the weather, a compliant,
Speaker 31: you know, depending on the weather. And regarding this last
Speaker 31: twenty four hours morning was towards the end of the
Speaker 31: night when people would run into what was going on
Speaker 31: in Geelong with a lady and I thought, well, mister
Speaker 31: Dennis Walter might know about this. The lady that was
Speaker 31: walking through the streets and her birthday suit.
Speaker 6: Yes, on a way to Dennis's.
Speaker 31: Probably Jay was meant to pass it on to you.
Speaker 31: Then it put me on hold till the end of
Speaker 31: the show that nobody spoke, so I thought, he does
Speaker 31: need a concussion check. But the thing was there was
Speaker 31: a reason for the lady right, are you sitting down firmly?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I'm standing, but standing for ver Well, that's
Speaker 6: very good for.
Speaker 31: Your body and exercise. The thing was because the weather,
Speaker 31: you know, this thing climate changeable weather and everything. You know,
Speaker 31: most people, you know the brollies that blow inside out
Speaker 31: when it's windy. Yes, so the only thing she was
Speaker 31: at the time was the only thing in her wardrobe
Speaker 31: left that was waterproof to wear down the street.
Speaker 6: Yes, the only thing left in her wardrobe that was
Speaker 6: waterproof was her own skin.
Speaker 31: I thought you might have enjoyed that. Did he passed
Speaker 31: that onto you a wee small hours?
Speaker 6: Yes, yes he did that. Yes, yes, yes he did
Speaker 6: tell me that yesterday.
Speaker 31: Yes, yes, because Damien and them, I thought they would
Speaker 31: have had a laugh and gig on to Rosses and
Speaker 31: Rosses might have liked that as well, and give you
Speaker 31: the big, the biggest hug from Auntiekatrina and i'sided to
Speaker 31: see you on their ways And Jay I haven't seen
Speaker 31: the show. And anyway he was on Dealing No deal
Speaker 31: yet dar J whichever the week he was on, Oh yes, yes,
Speaker 31: so have to give me the date again when it
Speaker 31: was on surf they've got back back chapters. We can
Speaker 31: watch it or something, because it was very funny. But
Speaker 31: was going to appear on the show. That was very
Speaker 31: hilarious listening to his dilemma whether he was was takeing
Speaker 31: this child to school?
Speaker 6: So funny potential.
Speaker 7: That was you.
Speaker 31: Yeah, you were doing the summer broke, weren't you. That
Speaker 31: was you on air at the time when he was
Speaker 31: in the dilemma, wasn't it. Yeah, So I was having
Speaker 31: laughing diggers with him off air that that as that
Speaker 31: was happening. That's just wonderful to wake up because this morning,
Speaker 31: I think I just woke up when the story were
Speaker 31: sort of happening about the lady walking along in a
Speaker 31: birthday suit. I didn't miss the beginning of it or
Speaker 31: something that. So it's very very funny, so I thought,
Speaker 31: and I didn't expect to ring you tonight. I'm just
Speaker 31: woken up suddenly. And then this fellow that's hit into
Speaker 31: his own thing that he constructed and put along the
Speaker 31: wall of the house, didn't.
Speaker 6: He Yes, yes, he's put it on the wall of
Speaker 6: his house and then walked into it.
Speaker 31: Yeah, that's exactly the way to you both, And it's
Speaker 31: wonderful happening. Jay on the team, isn't it? It is
Speaker 31: of the three aw yes.
Speaker 6: It is a good man, Jay, despite what everyone says,
Speaker 6: I think is a good man. Good on your Katrina,
Speaker 6: thank you for the call. And Katrina at the very
Speaker 6: start of that call mentioned the Montague Street bridge. So
Speaker 6: we were talking about Jay walking into the into the
Speaker 6: clothesline that is on the side of his house and
Speaker 6: just not looking, just walking straight into it. Katrina's reference.
Speaker 6: It's a very Melbourne reference. But there is a bridge
Speaker 6: in Melbourne over Montague Street and it's a rail bridge,
Speaker 6: but it's very low and there's a dip in the
Speaker 6: road for people to get under it. But there's warning
Speaker 6: things and there's alarm bells and all sorts of stuff
Speaker 6: there to warn bigger trucks when they're navigating systems are
Speaker 6: taking them through it. There's lots of things to warn
Speaker 6: people of height restrictions. But once a week it just
Speaker 6: seems somebody plows into the side of the Montague Street bridge.
Speaker 6: So that was Katrina's reference. Jay, better not walk under
Speaker 6: the Montague Street bridge. That's very clever. Appreciate that, Katrina.
Speaker 6: I just thought I'd explain that to everyone listening. Through five,
Speaker 6: Double A and six PR and around the ACE Radio network.
Speaker 6: That's very good. Thank you. Now just before we break,
Speaker 6: we'll get to you Tony, Jim and Baser in a sec.
Speaker 6: But we get press releases and things, and just something
Speaker 6: caught my eye that I thought was interesting. It's only
Speaker 6: just come through just before the two o'clock news an
Speaker 6: email from Milestone Films, who I've not heard of before,
Speaker 6: but obviously I'm on the list. And they've got new
Speaker 6: from Milestone on DVD and Blu ray this June. And
Speaker 6: there's a movie called The Annihilation of Fish and I've
Speaker 6: looked at it. Okay, odd title, interesting and so I
Speaker 6: was just reading the blurb during the ad break and
Speaker 6: I've not heard of this film, and it says it
Speaker 6: took Milestone. So Milestone is the film company. It took
Speaker 6: Milestone's Dennis Doris nineteen years to track down the rights
Speaker 6: to Charles Barnett's magical and Lost film from nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 6: but boy was it worth it. Featuring astonishing performances by
Speaker 6: three great stars James Earl Jones, Lynn Redgrave and Margo Kidder.
Speaker 6: The Annihilation of Fish is the story of damaged people
Speaker 6: who somehow managed to rescue one another. So it's out
Speaker 6: apparently on Blu ray and DVD with lists all the
Speaker 6: things that you know, all the bonuses, and you get
Speaker 6: the director's commentary and all that sort of stuff that
Speaker 6: you get in a DVD. Now, I'd never heard of
Speaker 6: the film, and I'm just wondering as anyone ever seen it?
Speaker 6: The Annihilation of Fish described it as lost, a lost
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety nine film. Does that mean it was never
Speaker 6: released or what? I'm just bringing it up now because
Speaker 6: I just saw it and it's fresh in my mind.
Speaker 6: But has anyone ever seen that film with James Earl Jones,
Speaker 6: Lynn Redgrave and Margo Kidder? And of course I think
Speaker 6: Margo and James have both left us, haven't they? But
Speaker 6: I don't know about Lynn Redgrave. Yes, so Margo Kidder
Speaker 6: has passed away. James Earl Jones, I'm sure did James
Speaker 6: Earl Jones pass away or am? I? Yes?
Speaker 9: He did?
Speaker 6: He passed away? When did he pass away? Twenty twenty one?
Speaker 24: Yes?
Speaker 6: I wasn't that long ago, aged ninety three when he
Speaker 6: passed away. But anyway, the Annihilation of Fish, if you've
Speaker 6: seen it, I'd love to know, because it just looks.
Speaker 6: I just I love Margot Kidder and I love James L.
Speaker 9: Jones.
Speaker 6: I don't really know Lynn reg Grave, but yeah, if
Speaker 6: you've seen it, give us a bass back with more
Speaker 6: if he calls in the second twenty three to three

Speaker 6: to chat to you as always, and we'll do it
Speaker 6: again soon. Jim's in Westwood's great Hi Jim.
Speaker 23: Hi, Simon and Jay and a few things. Simon, first
Speaker 23: or all, I want to start off with the movie.
Speaker 23: You don't like horror movies, do you, Simon?
Speaker 6: I love a thriller more than a horror.
Speaker 23: Yeah, I love a mom and myself and Arthur grew
Speaker 23: up with thrillers and horrors. But the reason I bring
Speaker 23: up a horror movie because I saw an advertised earlier
Speaker 23: and there's an exicism film. It's starting on the fifth.
Speaker 23: I don't remember Sandy Kay or Shane Bassett or Paul
Speaker 23: Harris mentioning her, but al Paceno is going to be,
Speaker 23: you know, and they're calling her the most horrifying, terrifying
Speaker 23: exorcism film ever in American history. Wow, probably just maybe
Speaker 23: it will be. But al Paceno's in it. I didn't
Speaker 23: think he was going to make any more movies. He
Speaker 23: is in his eighties, I think now. I think he's
Speaker 23: going to be one of the priests.
Speaker 6: Simon, Okay, yeah, al Pacino is. I'm just looking him
Speaker 6: up to see how old he is.
Speaker 23: I think he's in his eighties or nearly ninety.
Speaker 6: Or eighty five. He was born in nineteen forty, so
Speaker 6: he's eighty five.
Speaker 23: I didn't think we'd see any more movies from him.
Speaker 23: I think he's going to be one of the priests.
Speaker 23: So do you remember Sandy Kay or Paul Harris mentioning
Speaker 23: that film? I don't remember being mentioned.
Speaker 6: I'm just looking up to see what it's called.
Speaker 19: The ritual, The ritual, the ritual, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 23: Starting, but I'm curious to see if it's Sandy Kay.
Speaker 2: Are he's still there the Yeah, it's still here.
Speaker 23: Yeah, Sorry, I thought I lost you. Sandy or Paul
Speaker 23: or Shaney have to say about it if they if
Speaker 23: they don't, I don't remember any of them mentioning it.
Speaker 23: But that's the first thing, Yeah, I'm just that they're
Speaker 23: claiming it's going to be the the most scariest and
Speaker 23: the most horrifying extorcism in American history.
Speaker 6: Well, it's this powerful true story about Texas's most notorious
Speaker 6: criminal criminal. Yeah, the ritual.
Speaker 23: I heard it was going to be an exorcism.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me see if I can pull up a
Speaker 6: plot line or something for it. Hang on the ritual.
Speaker 6: Two priests, one in a hang on, it's just got
Speaker 6: off the screen. Storyline. Two priests, one in crisis with
Speaker 6: his faith and the other confronting a turbulent past, must
Speaker 6: overcome their differences to perform a risky exorcism. There you go.
Speaker 23: The next thing, I just remember we're talking about the
Speaker 23: B fifty two's you mentioned one of the girls you
Speaker 23: thought to a duet with someone? Who did you say?
Speaker 9: That was with R. E.
Speaker 6: M In the song Shiny Happy People?
Speaker 23: You know who? Which else is a very unusual combination.
Speaker 23: When I used to tape rage, I taped another unusual combination,
Speaker 23: Iggy Pop and one of the girls from the B
Speaker 23: fifty two singing a song candy or Candy Candy.
Speaker 25: You might like it.
Speaker 23: I don't think you'd like iggy pop. But it makes
Speaker 23: me think of something too. It's someone well known that
Speaker 23: it knows about music. You know, iggy pop, I know
Speaker 23: a biggy pop.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I can't say I've got any of his
Speaker 6: music in my selections.
Speaker 23: Na, No, I wouldn't think he's your top. But if
Speaker 23: you heard the song that he sings with the girl
Speaker 23: from B fifty two's Candy Candy or.
Speaker 21: You might like it.
Speaker 23: I liked it. I thought it very unusual to forum
Speaker 23: to the team up, but I think it might have.
Speaker 23: I could be wrong, but I think it was Gavin
Speaker 23: on your show saying that iggy pop how is always
Speaker 23: shirtless and jumping around like you're on a whole heap
Speaker 23: of substance.
Speaker 9: Certainly I think it's allergic.
Speaker 6: It is allergic to clothes pop.
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, But I also think that Gavin said it
Speaker 23: was all anted in was never on any substances, which
Speaker 23: I be hard to believe.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I guess Gavin would know. Well, Gavin would
Speaker 6: know it at the times he met him, whether he
Speaker 6: was smashed out of his brain on some sort of
Speaker 6: narcotic But yeah, is a bit of a wild one
Speaker 6: iggy pop. So yeah, we can only go with what
Speaker 6: we're told. And if Gavin says he was clean when
Speaker 6: he was here, then I reckon he was clean when
Speaker 6: he was here.
Speaker 23: And the last thing, Simon. I used to be one
Speaker 23: of Alan Pearcell's regular callers on Overnight, and I think
Speaker 23: his producer was Nigel. I forgot his surname Nowel you
Speaker 23: still see Alan.
Speaker 6: I saw Allan only a week and a half ago.
Speaker 6: I had dinner with Alan. Yeah he's good, he's doing
Speaker 6: really well.
Speaker 23: Producer, if I remember correctly, Yes, No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was Nigel. His producer, Nigel Slater, and I
Speaker 6: think Nigel's now at last. I heard from Nigel. He
Speaker 6: was working in the Northern Territory in radio up there.
Speaker 23: I think so, I'd say, because when I used to
Speaker 23: call Alan, when I never used to call on my
Speaker 23: regular times, I'll always say, oh, Jim, we've been waiting
Speaker 23: for you, wondering when you're called. But I can't remember
Speaker 23: how many years agoles that I can't remember. When Allen
Speaker 23: was on, I probably wouldn't remember me now, but I
Speaker 23: was one of his regular callers.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Allen would remember. He's got a great memory.
Speaker 6: I think Allan left the station in either twenty nineteen
Speaker 6: or twenty twenty. It would be somewhere around that time.
Speaker 6: I think I'm thinking twenty nineteen. If memory serves, I'd
Speaker 6: need to look at it.
Speaker 23: So you say he'd remember me because I was only
Speaker 23: if he does. Can you say hello to him for me?
Speaker 23: And if you speak to Nigel?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I certainly will. Yeah, absolutely happy to pass that on.
Speaker 6: I don't know if Allan listens to the station much anymore.
Speaker 6: We didn't sort of talk about it, but next time
Speaker 6: I see him. I do catch up with him a
Speaker 6: couple of times a year for lunch or dinner, so
Speaker 6: I'll tell him you said hi next time we do that.
Speaker 6: I better move on, Jim. I've got to get to
Speaker 6: a break. We've got Basa and Mark hanging on. So
Speaker 6: thanks for the callers. Always talk soon and taking your
Speaker 6: calls one double three six nine three or one double
Speaker 6: three eight eighty two. News is about eight and a
Speaker 6: half minutes away, but Basa is in Geelong High Basa.
Speaker 23: Hey, young, I read earlier, and I wish to apologize
Speaker 23: for what I said.
Speaker 6: No, that's all right, yeah, no, no need to apologize.
Speaker 6: You didn't mean to offend anyone or any of that
Speaker 6: sort of thing. There was no malice or anything. I
Speaker 6: just I just thought it was probably not a direction
Speaker 6: we wanted to head in with that particular conversation at
Speaker 6: this time of the night. But no, you've got nothing
Speaker 6: to apologize for, Basa, that's fine.
Speaker 23: Yeah, No, I've got Croati's friends in the best mates
Speaker 23: you ever had.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's nice. That's nice.
Speaker 9: So what do you do?
Speaker 6: What's doing at this time of the morning for you
Speaker 6: in North Geelong? Basa?
Speaker 23: Well, I work at night mainly our own prostitutes.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, again, I'm sorry to do this to you
Speaker 6: twice in one night, but you've named a particular group
Speaker 6: there and I can't let that go to air with
Speaker 6: what you just said following it, So we do have Like, again,
Speaker 6: you didn't mean anything bad by it, I know, but
Speaker 6: when it comes to naming a group of people and
Speaker 6: then saying something that was quite sort of I guess, flippant,
Speaker 6: if they chose to take legal action against the station
Speaker 6: for allowing that to go to air, I'd be in
Speaker 6: big trouble. So we just have to be very careful
Speaker 6: about things we say, even if it's a loose interpretation.
Speaker 7: Or it's.
Speaker 6: A slightly tongue in cheek or a slight exaggeration of
Speaker 6: a fact. There's some things we just can't let go
Speaker 6: to air, so including that one. So sorry to dump
Speaker 6: you off the air there twice in one night, Bazard,
Speaker 6: but yeah, we just can't let that happen. Now we
Speaker 6: are approaching the news. We've got to get another break
Speaker 6: in before we get to news. We've Agent four eight
Speaker 6: five has texted through. Ringo Star is nearly eighty five,
Speaker 6: and sure doesn't look at that's I can't remember the
Speaker 6: last time I saw a picture of Ringo, but he's
Speaker 6: eighty five. Jay's going to look him up. Now, who else?
Speaker 6: Who else would be of that age and still look
Speaker 6: really good? Or Ringo? Clearly if that's ring go now
Speaker 6: he's clearly dyeing his hair. No one's eighty five and

Speaker 6: Definitely vanity all in vanity.
Speaker 9: With the hair that he's got left as well. He's
Speaker 9: starting to lose a bit too.
Speaker 6: Isn't he? Well at eighty five. I think that's okay
Speaker 6: to have a bit of a receding hairline, a bit.
Speaker 9: Of a fringe as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Paul Simon was the worst for that. Paul
Speaker 6: Simon had very little hair when he was about twenties,

Speaker 6: story of this issue, yeah, I bought. I bought a
Speaker 6: ticket to go and see the first one and it
Speaker 6: was great, and they got off there and said welcome
Speaker 6: to our first Melbourne concert, and the crowd went wild.
Speaker 6: And then the next day a friend of mine had
Speaker 6: bought tickets and her partner wasn't able to go, and
Speaker 6: so she asked if I wanted to, and I had
Speaker 6: enjoyed it the night before, so I said yes as well.
Speaker 6: So I went along to the second rock Seat concert.
Speaker 6: She said, welcome to our last Melbourne concert, and the
Speaker 6: crowd went wild.

Speaker 9: so but look still had the song, still had the
Speaker 9: grooves still. It was great. It was good to see her.
Speaker 9: I think it was rodal Over Arena. I think she
Speaker 9: did about two or three shows there. But it was great. Yes,
Speaker 9: all the memories falling back. Except was great.
Speaker 6: What's the best concert you've ever been to? Other than
Speaker 6: a U two console.
Speaker 9: Robbie Williams.
Speaker 6: Robbie Williams. Okay, yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 9: You know, the ultimate performer, isn't he incredible?
Speaker 6: My wife went to a Robbie Williams concert. She didn't
Speaker 6: take me, I don't. I don't know why, but she
Speaker 6: went with a friend and she said that because the
Speaker 6: night before they'd shown a Robbie Williams concert on Foxtel
Speaker 6: from the same tour. And so apparently Robbie came out
Speaker 6: on stage at the start of the he did his
Speaker 6: big opening of dropping down from the ceiling or something.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but apparently he came out and said,
Speaker 6: thanks Foxtel for hang up my show because they showed
Speaker 6: the whole thing the night before on Telly. So he
Speaker 6: wasn't happy about that.
Speaker 19: But that to you.
Speaker 6: But here's a great shaman, isn't he. Like he is
Speaker 6: a really gifted showman.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's the only one that, apart from you two,
Speaker 9: has really got my attention and just he just sit
Speaker 9: there and watch him. Yeah, it's incredible. I don't know
Speaker 9: what it is, but this is something about him. He's
Speaker 9: you know, most guys, it's that inner guy inside us
Speaker 9: that he actually, you know, comes out with on stage.
Speaker 9: You know, he just MUCKs around a bit cheeky on
Speaker 9: the side, Yeah sort of thing. Yeah, but yeah, it's great.
Speaker 6: He's a guy. He's just sort of a guy you'd
Speaker 6: like to hang around, exactly. You'd be thoroughly entertained if
Speaker 6: you just hung around with Robbie William and he.
Speaker 9: Says things that you think. Yeah, that's exactly what I think.
Speaker 9: He's great.
Speaker 6: I think he's wonderful. And I was dragged along. Well,
Speaker 6: I'm not dragged along. My wife wanted to go and
Speaker 6: see Pink, and I appreciated Pink's music, but you know,
Speaker 6: I wasn't really looking forward to the concert. But you know,
Speaker 6: a night out with my wife that was nice. So
Speaker 6: she took me along to see Pink, and I was
Speaker 6: blown away by how good she was. She was amazing
Speaker 6: to watch in a live concert.
Speaker 22: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, swings around the stage.
Speaker 6: Yeah, suspended out over the audience and all of that,
Speaker 6: and you have to duck your head up some stage. No, no, no,
Speaker 6: our tickets were that good. But but it was a
Speaker 6: it was a really worthwhile show. Yeah, she's fabulous. I
Speaker 6: think I've spoken about before. I went to a concert
Speaker 6: on my own. I went to see Missy Higgins on
Speaker 6: my own, which which I loved because there's there's something
Speaker 6: great about just doing that by yourself and not having
Speaker 6: to worry about whether the person with you is enjoying
Speaker 6: themselves exactly. That's right, that was good too. All right,
Speaker 6: Now we've got Chicken Man coming up very shortly, and
Speaker 6: then time for some calls. Excuse me, Chicken Man coming
Speaker 6: up shortly. Then time for some calls ahead of the series. Oh,
Speaker 6: she's still there, she's still going. But I wanted to
Speaker 6: throw out I mentioned just before the news the gastettna.
Speaker 6: Have you ever heard of a gastettna?
Speaker 8: Jay?
Speaker 9: No, Sorry, that's scoring straight out of my head. I'm
Speaker 9: not sure what is it? Something to do with mathematics
Speaker 9: or no.
Speaker 6: It's back to my primary school days, and you're a
Speaker 6: couple of years younger than me, so I think you
Speaker 6: may have just missed out on the gastettna because I
Speaker 6: think by then photo copiers were probably in The Gastettna
Speaker 6: was a big sort of metal machine, and the teacher
Speaker 6: if they needed to hand out a copy of something
Speaker 6: to the class, it wasn't done on a photo copier.
Speaker 6: It was done on this machine called a Gastetna, and
Speaker 6: I don't really know the mechanics of how it worked,
Speaker 6: but the teacher had to write it all out on
Speaker 6: a particular a certain piece of a paper that had
Speaker 6: like a waxy thing on it, and then he'd stick that.
Speaker 6: He or she would stick that in this Gastettna machine
Speaker 6: and then turn a handle and it would rather the
Speaker 6: piece of paper with the wax coating on it would
Speaker 6: roll over an ink pad type thing or a liquid
Speaker 6: ink and the and because it was waxy, the ink
Speaker 6: wouldn't stick to it, but where they had written it
Speaker 6: had broken the wax and it would and so the
Speaker 6: ink would stick to the bits where the teacher had written,
Speaker 6: and so that would create a copy of on a
Speaker 6: fresh piece of paper.
Speaker 9: Are you sure you're not really showing your age here, Simon?
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 29: No.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 6: We had run in grade four with mister Faulkner. I remember.
Speaker 6: I remember mister Faulkner using the gestetna to do it.
Speaker 6: And the thing I loved about it was the smell
Speaker 6: of the ink. It was it was like sniffing petrol.
Speaker 6: It was just it was such a powerful smell, but
Speaker 6: really addictive. So God knows how many if it affected
Speaker 6: a whole generation of people and people before me. But yeah,
Speaker 6: the which just took me back to your school days
Speaker 6: was what was a thing at your school that just
Speaker 6: would not be there now? Or things that used to
Speaker 6: happen at school that you would never happen now. The
Speaker 6: casette who is a very fond memory for me. There'll
Speaker 6: be people listening who probably use them day in and
Speaker 6: day out, I would imagine. So if you want to
Speaker 6: chat about your school days, reminisce with us a bit
Speaker 6: one double three six nine three or one double three
Speaker 6: eight eighty two. The board's pretty much empty at the moment,
Speaker 6: so if you want to give us a buzz, you'll
Speaker 6: get through nice and quickly. And we've got about twenty
Speaker 6: five minutes or so to take some calls. So let's
Speaker 6: chat to Peter before we get to Chicken Man, and
Speaker 6: then we'll get more calls up after Chicken Man. Hey,
Speaker 6: how are you, Peter?
Speaker 4: Salm Simon here a you going?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Good? Thank you?
Speaker 4: Nah, Simon, I'll totally get sixty out of the day.
Speaker 4: I couldn't get through. Yeah, I've been in bed for
Speaker 4: nearly up a day. When this storm is coming around again,
Speaker 4: send being I was in Sicily twice, beautiful place with
Speaker 4: a video not far from the Whold Canaday, and nothing happened.
Speaker 4: When I come back two weeks up, they went berserk.
Speaker 4: And I'm just talking to someone today about Sicily. Isn't
Speaker 4: that beautiful place? A lot of tom then and again
Speaker 4: Santo her when he's the plan is going to be.
Speaker 4: People call me crazy Peter in the sense, but simon.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 4: And then I'm a born again Christian, not only none
Speaker 4: percent with the Lord born in Italy come in when
Speaker 4: I stop. I love everybody now, but been prophesied in
Speaker 4: the Holy Bible. People don't believe, and it's a problem.
Speaker 4: I should be a Roman Catholic and all the boy
Speaker 4: my hunger to be a priest this and that it
Speaker 4: had come to a studying and get the Holy Bog
Speaker 4: when Mama got naturalize from the queen and it's all
Speaker 4: been prophesized, and when the way they changed like this,
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm not a drink of men in
Speaker 4: a sense too much. I feel like when I feel
Speaker 4: like drinking a bottle of whiskey and Johnny. I look
Speaker 4: up to Johnny here and he was just the same,
Speaker 4: eyes gone around, and so it's everything has been prophesized here,
Speaker 4: Sony go yet.
Speaker 6: Look, Tony's been a bit crooked this last week, but
Speaker 6: she's hoping to be back on Thursday morning.
Speaker 4: Well, he says that these bats goes around the world too.
Speaker 6: Been to sisterly, I haven't. No, I've been to Naples
Speaker 6: and to Rome, but but not.
Speaker 4: I've been to the Romans and maybel just the same.
Speaker 4: But Sister is a wonderful place, very friendly people. And
Speaker 4: my best mate died no longer ago mechanic. He was
Speaker 4: better than my dad, than Thomas' brother, my brother. And yeah,
Speaker 4: send my regards to Tony because he's a religious man
Speaker 4: like I used to be. But I'll be a born
Speaker 4: again Christian sinto nineteen seventy and I know the Holy
Speaker 4: Bible back to front and it's all come to Philpill
Speaker 4: And I'm not happy when a lot of disasters coming around,
Speaker 4: killing people and especially leaving I'll say to the whole world,
Speaker 4: leave the Jewish people alone there where they're chasing race.
Speaker 4: And I stand with Israel. I love everybody. And I've
Speaker 4: got a grand two grandfather. One come a nine journal
Speaker 4: war Peter like me, and one's side is Anthony. And
Speaker 4: in us to said the mom when I was a
Speaker 4: toddler in Italy. Carlota my mother's name, Carlotta. I have
Speaker 4: beautiful is the river Iphrain, so and and loving in Italy.
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful place, but a lot of Jewish people.
Speaker 4: And I spent a lot of time in Israel, yes,
Speaker 4: a couple of time, and I say the people please
Speaker 4: leave God's chosen people alone cost them four hundred years
Speaker 4: in Egypt. To understand that I come to Jesus and
Speaker 4: I love Jerusalem.
Speaker 6: Well that's a I hope your your lovely renewed sense
Speaker 6: of religion brings you great, great peace, Peter, and and
Speaker 6: thank you for the lovely words that you have said.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm not religious, but I certainly have great respect
Speaker 6: for those who are. And when you did mention you
Speaker 6: know what's going on over there, the only thing I
Speaker 6: ever say about it is that I think there's good
Speaker 6: and bad on both sides in any conflict, and it's
Speaker 6: the innocent people on both sides that I feel dreadfully
Speaker 6: sorry for. So I don't I choose not to partake
Speaker 6: in any discussions about such things other than to say
Speaker 6: I feel sorry for all the innocent people on both sides.
Speaker 6: Thank you for the car Peter taking your calls one
Speaker 6: double three six nine three or one double three eight
Speaker 6: eighty two. Jan is in Mickleford. How are you there?
Speaker 9: Jan?
Speaker 6: How are you this morning?
Speaker 26: Good?
Speaker 28: Thanks Simon and yourself. I hope you're keeping well.
Speaker 6: I'm top of the world.
Speaker 28: That's good. Stettner's Yes, they were very good. I had
Speaker 28: my secret chicken cave had a step now. I also
Speaker 28: had a erronium at home.
Speaker 22: Yeah, and they were.
Speaker 28: Good for very large volume printing, like a whole ram,
Speaker 28: you know, hundreds of leaflets, which is what we used
Speaker 28: them for in school. She generally had the the methylated
Speaker 28: Spirits Spirit printer and you probably remember those too. Those
Speaker 28: ones smelt nice because you'd smell the spirit well it
Speaker 28: was being printed. You'd print off, you know, twenty or
Speaker 28: thirty forty sheets for a classroom activity.
Speaker 6: I thought, I thought the one we had at school
Speaker 6: was a Gastetna, which it had purple ink. Which one
Speaker 6: had the purple ink, that's.
Speaker 28: The spirit, that's the spirit printer. But it might have
Speaker 28: been made by Gastetna. What you usually call a Gastetna
Speaker 28: is the ink one with the black ink. A very
Speaker 28: complicated attachment to the barrel and you created you did
Speaker 28: describe it reasonably well before you created the work with
Speaker 28: a wax stencil. It had the wax stencil and you'd
Speaker 28: put that through a typewriter. Generally you couldn't easily draw
Speaker 28: on them. It was the wax stencils damaged very easily,
Speaker 28: but you could thread it into a typewriter.
Speaker 31: My of the listeners might not know what a typewriter is.
Speaker 28: You'd thread that into the typewriter. And we used to
Speaker 28: do our leaflets, and if I was doing a leaflet today,
Speaker 28: I would be pointing out in the leaflet that what's
Speaker 28: happening in the Middle East is not a conflict, it's
Speaker 28: a genocide anyway. And I know you don't like the politics,
Speaker 28: so I'll moved back to the schools. Schools had spirit
Speaker 28: printers mostly and that was the purple. They came out
Speaker 28: looking purple and you could draw on You could draw
Speaker 28: on the sensil for that different kind of stencil. It
Speaker 28: was like a carbon There was a double sheeted paper
Speaker 28: from memory and you would do the images with a
Speaker 28: stylust or a biro that you had to care for
Speaker 28: with a biro because if you press too hard, the
Speaker 28: burrow would cut right through and ruin it, but you
Speaker 28: have to start again. But you would carve out or
Speaker 28: etch out the shape or whatever you wanted to draw.
Speaker 28: And that's probably what you're remembering pictures and images.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, when we had to do like well, not
Speaker 6: homework things, but when the teacher would hand out like
Speaker 6: a test or something in class, it was on.
Speaker 5: That perp.
Speaker 28: And you would turn the handle if you operated the machine,
Speaker 28: you put that thing and you'd turn a handle on
Speaker 28: the right hand side because they were made for right hand.
Speaker 6: In each each rotation of the handle, a piece of
Speaker 6: paper would spin out with that.
Speaker 28: That's right, we put out a piece of paper.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I loved it. The smell of that ink was
Speaker 6: just heavenly.
Speaker 28: Yeah, that's what That's what you'd remember. However, the castette
Speaker 28: the machines was the black ink. They did have a
Speaker 28: distinctive spell too, but they weren't very common in schools.
Speaker 28: They were a bit too complicated and they were for
Speaker 28: large volume. Crittica University we printed lots of leaflets off
Speaker 28: on castetteers, so much so that I owned several cassetteers
Speaker 28: over the years.
Speaker 22: Because they would.
Speaker 28: Wear out or they'd break down. And you'd have to
Speaker 28: go around and by another one.
Speaker 6: Have you still got any? Did you ever? Did you
Speaker 6: keep one for old time's sake?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 28: We did graduate from Castettener's and Rodeo Machines. Rodeo was
Speaker 28: another brand.
Speaker 31: I think that might have been a British or American brand.
Speaker 28: We did move on to printing with offset printing later on. However,
Speaker 28: another thing listeners might not remember. Young people won't know
Speaker 28: is lectra set. Do you remember the electra set litter set?
Speaker 6: Is that the thing where the it was a clear
Speaker 6: piece of plastic with letters on.
Speaker 28: It, plastic with letters on it, and you would place
Speaker 28: that on the sheet of paper you wanted, and then
Speaker 28: you would.
Speaker 6: Use either the back of a back of a bar
Speaker 6: or something to rub on it, and that would force them.
Speaker 28: On it and the letter would stick. Yeah, the sheet
Speaker 28: of paper. Yeah, they don't exist anymore.
Speaker 6: No, I haven't thought of a letter set for forty years.
Speaker 6: I'd reckon.
Speaker 28: Yeah, So I'm talking about these gastto machines. Back in
Speaker 28: the seventies, we had Grossette the seventy seventy one, seventy two, seventy.
Speaker 26: Three, and I think about seventy four seventy five.
Speaker 28: Seventy four we started using offset printing.
Speaker 6: Well there you go.
Speaker 28: Well, of course, in the eighties, it's all in the
Speaker 28: eighties or nineties. Computers, yeah, yeah, computers.
Speaker 6: Computers sort of kicked in the in the nineties. But
Speaker 6: I think photo copy has started becoming a thing in
Speaker 6: the eighties or so, so yeah, which sort of ruined
Speaker 6: all those wonderful old machines within and they would have
Speaker 6: sat there in storage for years. They've just been turfed
Speaker 6: into hard rubbish. And what a shame, because what a
Speaker 6: work of art, all those old printing style things where Jane,
Speaker 6: thank you for that wonderful call, wonderful memories, and thank
Speaker 6: you for the explanation of the difference between them all.
Speaker 6: That's marvelous. It's twenty eight two, which is just too
Speaker 6: after in South Australia, So twenty eight to four in Melbourne,
Speaker 6: twenty eight to two in Perth, and it's just after
Speaker 6: it's two past three in South Australia. More of your
Speaker 6: calls after this, Doris is texted in, Oh my god,
Speaker 6: I used carbon paper and that machine. For years, we
Speaker 6: teachers used to laugh about getting high on that smell.
Speaker 6: I never knew the name of that machine, Thanks, says Doris.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Doris. Barbara calls from Saint Peter's Hi Barbara, Hi.
Speaker 10: Silent, first time I've spoken to you. Yes, look, oh,
Speaker 10: this takes me way back through a beautiful time in
Speaker 10: my life. It was my first position leaving high school.
Speaker 10: I've worked at which was called the South Australian Robin Millis,
Speaker 10: which turned out to be bridgedone, and my father worked there.
Speaker 10: He was a supervisor. So I started there as a
Speaker 10: little junior and yes, straight from high school, and I
Speaker 10: gradually worked my way up through the company and ended
Speaker 10: up working for some of the divisional managers where I
Speaker 10: got introduced to the Gestatnu machine because I was, you know,
Speaker 10: like a stenographer secretary for the divisional managers.
Speaker 31: So it was like with the.
Speaker 10: Divisional manager would have a meeting with all the necessary people,
Speaker 10: and I'd be sitting right next to him with my
Speaker 10: shorthand and my little notepad and I'd be taking down
Speaker 10: all the records of the meeting, so that would be fine,
Speaker 10: and then I would go back to my desk and
Speaker 10: I would get a stencil which was as the other
Speaker 10: person mentioned, it was like a wax sheet of paper
Speaker 10: or little holes in the top where you could fix
Speaker 10: it to the So I would go back to my
Speaker 10: desk type it up on the stensor. Was quite a
Speaker 10: few number of pages, and I loved that time. I
Speaker 10: loved that time in my life. I ended up being
Speaker 10: a credited tennis coach up the track, but that time
Speaker 10: in my life was really special. So I would type
Speaker 10: it up on my typewrider, type the stensor up, and
Speaker 10: then I would have to walk up into the main
Speaker 10: office and put it on the settna and print all
Speaker 10: the lots and lots of copies from the piece of
Speaker 10: the people at the meeting and then distribute saving them
Speaker 10: all together and distribute to them to all the relevant people.
Speaker 10: So look, it's just put that wonderful memories to me
Speaker 10: because that was a long time ago some and that
Speaker 10: was like, oh, you know, give me my age. Why
Speaker 10: it probably gets anyway because I'm used to you're not
Speaker 10: talking about a gestetna. But it was just a wonderful time.
Speaker 10: I ended up leaving there when I got married and
Speaker 10: had a little girl, and then I went back and
Speaker 10: worked there again. But I loved I loved my job.
Speaker 10: I loved the shorthand the typing, and that's what I
Speaker 10: was trained for at high school, so it all came
Speaker 10: together nicely.
Speaker 6: Oh that's lovely. And do you remember the smell of
Speaker 6: that ink?
Speaker 10: Yes, Look, this is why I'm saying. That's why I rang.
Speaker 10: I just remember it so clearly. I'm eighty three now,
Speaker 10: and it was a long time ago. And I thought
Speaker 10: to myself when you said about because then I'll have
Speaker 10: to ring up because you know, you don't sort of
Speaker 10: think about those days March and I was not because
Speaker 10: said stayed out of high school my first position, and yeah,
Speaker 10: I loved what I was doing. You know, I was
Speaker 10: trained at high school for that sort of position. And
Speaker 10: I just feel I have to bring up because that
Speaker 10: brought back the most beautiful memories to me because my
Speaker 10: father worked there, he was a supervisor. And yeah, so
Speaker 10: lovely just brought back lovely memories for me. So I'm
Speaker 10: not for my.
Speaker 30: Well, I'm glad, I'm good day.
Speaker 6: I'm glad it did, Barbara. And that's I love bringing
Speaker 6: up stuff like that for that exact reason. It just
Speaker 6: transports you back into a different times. It's wonderful. It's
Speaker 6: like it's like reminiscing about Hoadley's chocolates or things like
Speaker 6: that things that mc Robertson's chocolates is always my favorite,
Speaker 6: those memories from years ago.
Speaker 36: Yes, I know, I know it was.
Speaker 10: It was lovely because I've just seen my father worked
Speaker 10: there as a supervisor. Yes, and he had worked there
Speaker 10: like she got the gold watch and the whole thing,
Speaker 10: and he was there forever. And after I had my
Speaker 10: little girl, I went back into another position there for
Speaker 10: a while. So yeah, it was a lovely, lovely story.
Speaker 10: My father used to take me as a young girl
Speaker 10: back to the office because he would go back and
Speaker 10: check night shift where his men were working on the big.
Speaker 6: Car mat lovely day. Now, Barbara, the cereals coming up,

Speaker 13: I don't understand.

Speaker 8: The hand.
Speaker 34: Because I got so much life running through my things,

Speaker 9: I love I love my life. Yeah, sorry, I shouldn't
Speaker 9: answer that.
Speaker 6: See I asked questions and then I realized I don't
Speaker 6: know a lot of songs by title, so I'm going
Speaker 6: I think I know that my favorite one of his,
Speaker 6: a very Mexican theme song called Me and My Monkey.
Speaker 6: That's a great song. Yeah yeah, I can still hear that,
Speaker 6: by the way, Yeah yeah, no, no, that's all right.
Speaker 6: I'm using different headphones and it's there must be very sensitive.
Speaker 6: I can hear things creeping through. Just before we get
Speaker 6: to your cause, we've got Mark, Julian and Sahara and
Speaker 6: Leo there ready to go.
Speaker 2: Just I will.
Speaker 6: I just want to talk about something, Jay. I went
Speaker 6: to the shops yesterday. I didn't have much food in
Speaker 6: the house, and now that I was working overnights instead
Speaker 6: of evenings, it meant I didn't bring in a tuna
Speaker 6: casse alted defrost in the micro. I was having dinner
Speaker 6: at home before I came into work.
Speaker 9: Yep, fair enough.
Speaker 6: So that means I can make a freshly cooked meal.
Speaker 6: So I always go a steak, a nice steak when
Speaker 6: I get the chance, eight dollars fifty at Woolworth. And
Speaker 6: then I get the ingredients for a salad. Now what
Speaker 6: do you put in a salad?
Speaker 9: Oh? Look, you've got your tomatoes. You've got your lettuce.
Speaker 9: You might have a bit of avocado if.
Speaker 6: You like that. Very first thing I looked for, I
Speaker 6: got lettuce, I got to avocado, and then I've got
Speaker 6: the cheese at home that I've got. But then I
Speaker 6: went to grab tomatoes. None, no tomatoes. No tomatoes in
Speaker 6: Woolworths where we're in the suburb I live, not one
Speaker 6: single tomato, not a cherry tomato exactly, not a cherry tomato,
Speaker 6: not a full sized tomato. Not those ones that for
Speaker 6: some reason are more expensive because they're on a vine,
Speaker 6: even though they just look like tomatoes that aren't on
Speaker 6: a vine. Tomatoes, yeah, I've never understood around. Yeah, red
Speaker 6: round and juicy, and yet there's some that are strung
Speaker 6: together with a vine, so you pay more for that
Speaker 6: for some reason. Green stalking, Yeah, it's a little green
Speaker 6: stork thing and it's got four tomatoes on it and
Speaker 6: they cost a lot more. But yet little cherry tomatoes.
Speaker 6: And then there's the roama tomatoes. And think, not a
Speaker 6: single tomato in the place. And so we asked an
Speaker 6: employee and they said, oh, yeah, there's a shortage. Who
Speaker 6: is it who runs who runs the tomato farms? Around
Speaker 6: the country. And are they actually tomatoes grown in Australia.
Speaker 6: Like I'm being completely naive here, but is it a
Speaker 6: shortage because you know that we get them from Amsterdam
Speaker 6: or somewhere or Greenland. I don't know where they grow tomatoes.
Speaker 9: Where they hang out when they're not in the supermarket.
Speaker 6: So's who's the person who's in charge of the tomato?
Speaker 6: Farmer says nah, I reckon, we've planted enough this season. No,
Speaker 6: we won't need any more than that. Where did the
Speaker 6: tomatoes go? Why is there a tomato shortage? If there's
Speaker 6: any farmers who plant tomatoes and make your dosh out
Speaker 6: of them, please let us know. We'd love to know
Speaker 6: where the tomatoes are.
Speaker 9: There's always the banana shortage, there's always the orange shortage.
Speaker 9: I think there's a couple of orange short I think
Speaker 9: we had an orange shortage a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6: Yes, And I remember there was a was it an
Speaker 6: issue with salery where it got hailed on once and
Speaker 6: so all the salery had little brown bits with yeh
Speaker 6: spots on it where the hailstones had hit and damaged
Speaker 6: the salery. I think it was salary that that happened
Speaker 6: to you.
Speaker 9: I have to trade them in. Yeah, what did you
Speaker 9: do with the car when they get hit with hailstones?
Speaker 6: But yeah, I'd just love to know why there's no tomatoes.
Speaker 6: I don't recall the last time I've ever noticed that
Speaker 6: there was a tomato shortage. So I couldn't have my
Speaker 6: salad without tomato. So I put everything back on the shelf,
Speaker 6: and then then I grabbed a Caesar salad kit ah
Speaker 6: good because I thought I haven't had a caesar salad.
Speaker 9: They were a good backup.
Speaker 6: And I like that, I like that dressing on it,
Speaker 6: and I like the bread crumb things to the croutons,
Speaker 6: so I grabbed that. So I had my eight dollar
Speaker 6: fifty steak and my four dollar fifty salad, and I thought, well,
Speaker 6: that's thirteen dollars. That's a meal. And then I walked
Speaker 6: past the freshly cooked chickens, you know, the hot chickens
Speaker 6: in the Bay Marie or whatever that thing's called. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and the chickens were twelve dollars, and I thought, you
Speaker 6: know what, it's going to save me a dollar if
Speaker 6: I get a chicken instead. And I've got bread at home,
Speaker 6: I've got cheese at home, and I've got mayonnaise at home.
Speaker 6: So I had two chicken cheese and mayo sandwiches for
Speaker 6: dinner last night.
Speaker 9: Instead beautiful cheare That takes me back to the old
Speaker 9: when I used to live Singly. I always had a
Speaker 9: different meal on the different days. Yeah, Tuesday night was
Speaker 9: a full chicken. I just came home with a chook,
Speaker 9: sat on the couch and ate it and just ate
Speaker 9: the fool chicks, date the fool chook. That was Tuesday nights.
Speaker 9: Do you eat the skin?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh, God of the best. I don't understand people.
Speaker 6: They peel the skin off and put it to the side,
Speaker 6: and what are you doing? You don't do that? Check
Speaker 6: out the chicken. Just give me the skin.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, they could sell that. Yeah, packets of chicken skin, Well,
Speaker 9: I do.
Speaker 6: You can go to you can get at restaurants and things.
Speaker 6: You can get potato skins. They should just do chicken skins.
Speaker 9: I didn't know that.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, potato skins are a thing. Yeah. Yeah, They've
Speaker 6: got little bacon and salt and stuff on them. Yeah.
Speaker 6: But yeah. Anyway, so no tomatoes. I'd love to know

Speaker 6: Australia and Adelaide. So Julian Zahara and Trevor will be
Speaker 6: with you any minute. Well, the tomatoes are copying it.
Speaker 6: Mark says. The floods have taken out a lot of
Speaker 6: the tomatoes, which is causing the shortage. If you've just
Speaker 6: broken up and joined us, Good morning, Simon Owen's in
Speaker 6: the chair for Tony this morning, and I've just opined
Speaker 6: or expressed great sadness in the fact that I couldn't
Speaker 6: buy tomatoes at the shops yesterday. Mark says, it's there's
Speaker 6: the floods have taken out the tomato industry in Australia.
Speaker 6: But there's also a text here from Agent eight eight seven.
Speaker 6: There is currently a tomato virus called the tomato brown
Speaker 6: Rugo's fruit virus hitting the industry mainly in Victoria and
Speaker 6: South Australia. So they're copping it from everywhere, the old tomatoes.
Speaker 6: It's a big shamee. It's very sad. I hope tomato
Speaker 6: farmers get some sort of assistance. Julian is in Armadale. Hi, Julian,
Speaker 6: good morning.
Speaker 19: So you might like to ask the actor Mark Ritchell,
Speaker 19: why haven't heard of him for years? Who used to
Speaker 19: play con the fruit r Yes, never happened to dematoes.
Speaker 19: He used to be a very popular fan. Every time
Speaker 19: he turned on the TV there was always market jo.
Speaker 19: Never heard of Mark Mitchill for a long time. Is
Speaker 19: he still working?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he still works. He does theater and stuff occasionally.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen him in anything for a couple of years, perhaps,
Speaker 6: but but I know somebody who employed him to do
Speaker 6: something about two years ago. So yes, he's still still
Speaker 6: around and still just a lovely guy.
Speaker 19: He played Oliver. He played mister Bumble with the Beatle
Speaker 19: in the Laska Hola of Oliver with John Waters as
Speaker 19: a long time ago. Of course, you remember the old
Speaker 19: English song yes we.
Speaker 6: Have no bananas, They have no bananas today?
Speaker 19: Yes now disappeared disappearing restaurants from this area. One is
Speaker 19: Olie's Collie. They looked like a tram. They were next
Speaker 19: to the mall than trams depot and now a Schnitzel restaurant.
Speaker 19: They were very popular. There weren't many of them. I
Speaker 19: think they came from a businessman who was very well
Speaker 19: known in Sheppard And could you correct that?
Speaker 6: Well, I have heard of Oli's trolleys, but Oli's trolley
Speaker 6: but I've not actually ever eaten at one, so my
Speaker 6: knowledge there's going to fall very short of yours.
Speaker 19: There was also a din in pizza restaurant that's now
Speaker 19: the office of Centerley in High Street in Paran. I
Speaker 19: don't think there's many dining pizza restaurants left anymore. There
Speaker 19: were two in the city, one of the old village
Speaker 19: cinemas that have gone and one off the top of
Speaker 19: Elizabeth and Burke Street. I don't think there'd be many left.
Speaker 19: With the dining pizza restaurants.
Speaker 6: There was a guy who I think it was about
Speaker 6: three or four years ago brought out a book which
Speaker 6: I intended to buy but never got around to. He
Speaker 6: went around and took photos of all the old pizza
Speaker 6: hut family rest because of course there's only about three
Speaker 6: of those left in the entire country, I think the
Speaker 6: pet family restaurants, and so he went around. They had
Speaker 6: that particular shape when they were purpose built. So he
Speaker 6: went around and took photos of all of the old
Speaker 6: ones that are still standing and what they are now.
Speaker 19: Now now I'm trying to remember, No, lady who worked
Speaker 19: for that's that hamburger place that used to be at
Speaker 19: the top end of Spring Street and Burke Street. They
Speaker 19: had one in Sheltenham and one in the city next
Speaker 19: to the old Palace Theater, and they came for West
Speaker 19: of Australia. Can you remember the name of them?
Speaker 6: No, I don't know that one. There used to be
Speaker 6: a twenty four hour There was a twenty four hour
Speaker 6: Burger place in the city of Melbourne. Is that the
Speaker 6: one you were thinking of? I don't know what it
Speaker 6: was called, though, I think you're right.
Speaker 19: It was a top end of Burke Street now. Also
Speaker 19: that were used to advertisal throughout w an all night
Speaker 19: fruit shop in Swan Street, Richmond. Can you remember that
Speaker 19: it was Melbourne's only twenty four hour fruit shop?
Speaker 6: No, I didn't ever know we had one, I must admit.
Speaker 6: I know there's a twenty four hour florist in Richmond,
Speaker 6: but not a fruit shop.
Speaker 5: Nay.
Speaker 19: Of course the Scissor. The Scissor used to be in
Speaker 19: then Iris. That became another restaurant called the Iris Buffet,
Speaker 19: a Chinese buffet, and that's now six apartments abom that,
Speaker 19: and the one that was in Gardens Vale is now
Speaker 19: a Hungry Jackson, a petrol station. I don't think the
Speaker 19: Sisters exists anymore in Australia.
Speaker 6: They disappeared out of most states, probably close to twenty
Speaker 6: years ago, I would think now. But I think the
Speaker 6: remaining few that there were around were in Queensland. But
Speaker 6: even I think they've all gone now. I think the
Speaker 6: last one's closed down a few years ago. There was
Speaker 6: a couple of New South Wales as well, but no,
Speaker 6: they're gone. I think I don't think Sisler exists anymore
Speaker 6: in Australia.
Speaker 19: We used to go out to Bundura to the Smaghese
Speaker 19: there that used to be opposite the old Larundel that
Speaker 19: caught fire and it's right next to the petrol station,
Speaker 19: to the fire brigade.
Speaker 6: Yes, the Smorgis are also all gone. There was one
Speaker 6: turned into a place called Volcano Joe's.
Speaker 19: Yeh Island the Island Trader was that the name of Smorgi's.
Speaker 6: Might have been Yeah, I honestly can't remember that. There
Speaker 6: was one in Ringwood, out to the east of Melbourne.
Speaker 19: I think there's an l club, is it?
Speaker 6: Yes? I think it is.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 19: I'll tell you what I've got in my bedroom before
Speaker 19: you go. I've got a monkey called Molly, which sold
Speaker 19: for twenty dollars at Smorgi's. It's a Moly. It's a
Speaker 19: nice furry monkey. I guess said they'd be collectible, wouldn't
Speaker 19: it sold with morge restaurants?
Speaker 6: But they sold them, they did. They only sold them
Speaker 6: at Smorgi's, did they Was it like a logo for
Speaker 6: the company?
Speaker 19: I think there were five smakings, weren't there? There was
Speaker 19: one on the Conning hamp Here at Geelong had Salty
Speaker 19: the Seal and a King Neptune. I'm pretty sure another restaurant,
Speaker 19: maybe Anarchy, bought the salted Seal, But that's gone.
Speaker 17: Has there?
Speaker 19: That was coming Geelong.
Speaker 6: Yeah that I don't know. That's Dennis Walter territory. He'd
Speaker 6: know that. But no, I've got no idea there.
Speaker 19: But any other restaurants that have disappeared? Other ones too?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, there was what was the steak one? There
Speaker 6: was the Lone Star Steakhouse was big for a while.
Speaker 6: There was a few of them around.
Speaker 19: The Clus that was above all whit Cinema cent one
Speaker 19: hundred and forty berks.
Speaker 6: Forp No, I never ate there, No, no, think there
Speaker 6: were a few.
Speaker 19: Mc clus weren't they They were actually on the top
Speaker 19: level of the cinemas.
Speaker 6: And that's probably. Yes, there was a restaurant chain associated
Speaker 6: with cinemas for a while. That must have been the one.
Speaker 6: I've not experienced it myself, but I do remember hearing
Speaker 6: people talk about it years. Julian always lovely to chat.
Speaker 6: You have a great way of bringing up great memories
Speaker 6: for people. So we've got Smorgies there and Sizzlers and
Speaker 6: the Pizza Hut family restaurants. Remember dial A Dino's when
Speaker 6: Dialadnos started, And I think they got swallowed up by
Speaker 6: Pizza Hut, didn't they.
Speaker 9: That's isn't it.
Speaker 6: Pizza Hut when when takeaway pizza became a thing, Pizza
Speaker 6: Hut said, I know, we're in the we're in the
Speaker 6: family restaurant business. We're not going to bother with this
Speaker 6: takeaway rubbish. Yes, And then of course they Dominoes and
Speaker 6: all that started dominating, as it were, and dial A Dino's,
Speaker 6: I think was the other chain that was was out there,
Speaker 6: and so Pizza Hut I think took that over. If
Speaker 6: I'm right, I don't take that as gospel, people, I'm
Speaker 6: just talking from a vague, vague assortment of memories that
Speaker 6: have collated in my head that lead me to think
Speaker 6: that that was the case. Thank you, Julian. Always a pleasure.
Speaker 6: The horror is in Newcastle?
Speaker 19: How's the horror him?
Speaker 30: And how are you?
Speaker 6: I'm well, how are you?
Speaker 24: Great?
Speaker 30: Thanks?
Speaker 29: Here's a good Lord.
Speaker 30: Do you know he is always watching? And when you're
Speaker 30: trained in given the act of forgiveness and also given
Speaker 30: to the poor, God is always interested to watch.
Speaker 6: Well, that's that will be in great comfort to those
Speaker 6: of a religious nature. That's a lovely thought.
Speaker 30: Yes I'm not religious, but I am given the Good
Speaker 30: Lord Jesus the glory and the honor. But what about
Speaker 30: the must how's he going with he's he said, problems
Speaker 30: with cars and where attacking his he's cars and something.
Speaker 6: Well, yes, he has had a couple of ups and
Speaker 6: downs over the journey old Elon Musk. But I don't
Speaker 6: have a great deal of sympathy because he's enormously wealthy.
Speaker 6: I don't think it's really affecting him in any particularly
Speaker 6: bad way. And if you want to stick your head
Speaker 6: up and align yourself in the world of politics, then
Speaker 6: half the world's going to love you and half the
Speaker 6: world's going to hate you. So he would have been
Speaker 6: better off just just sitting back and counting his money.
Speaker 30: Yeah, it's like king my but he seemed to be
Speaker 30: a nice man of good nature.
Speaker 6: Who me or Elon.
Speaker 26: You?
Speaker 6: Well, thank you, that's very kind. Yeah, I really, I really,
Speaker 6: I don't know enough about him. I must admit I
Speaker 6: have no particular interest in him.
Speaker 30: Yeah, all right, And there's a lot of scammers. You're
Speaker 30: not very Chelsey for the four people.
Speaker 6: Yes, scammers, scammers, a scum. I think that should be
Speaker 6: on t shirts and hand it out to people.
Speaker 30: That's a good one. With China.
Speaker 6: The best advice I can give when it comes to
Speaker 6: scamming is if you receive a text message, then you
Speaker 6: don't know who the sender is. Ignore it. Because anyone
Speaker 6: who sends you a message saying your package can't be
Speaker 6: delivered if you haven't ordered anything, likely to be a scammer.
Speaker 6: If you have ordered something, generally these days, when you
Speaker 6: order something online, you can't not put the address in correctly.
Speaker 6: So any any text messages you get, ignore emails you
Speaker 6: get from your banks and stuff. Ignore them. If anybody
Speaker 6: ever wrings you and says they're from the bank or
Speaker 6: a power company or whatever, just they thank you very much.
Speaker 6: Hang up. Don't talk to them. Just hang up and
Speaker 6: ring your bank back. Same with the tax office. I'm
Speaker 6: calling from the tax office. No, you're not shut up,
Speaker 6: go away, hang up, ring the tax office and say
Speaker 6: did you guys?
Speaker 7: Just call me?
Speaker 6: Is there a problem? That's that's the way to deal
Speaker 6: with all that stuff. Just never accept anyone at face value,
Speaker 6: even if they're knocking on your doors. That's the only
Speaker 6: way to not be scammed. I reckon.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 30: And the other thing is the love of scam John
Speaker 30: the Facebook, Ah.
Speaker 6: Yes, absolutely there is. Yes. I look at the ads
Speaker 6: that come up. There's an ad for a heater and
Speaker 6: it's the most incredibly powerful heater and it's it's only
Speaker 6: it's like half the size of a phone book, and
Speaker 6: you plug it into your wall and it heats your
Speaker 6: room in seconds. It's a scam. It's dodgy as all hell. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and there's a high pressure wa a hose that doesn't
Speaker 6: use electricity at all. It uses some special turbine thing
Speaker 6: invented by the military, and Bunnings and Amazon are furious
Speaker 6: because they can't have it. Yeah, that's a scam.
Speaker 30: On the Facebook, they have scammer to giving to people's accounts.
Speaker 6: Yep. If Eddie McGuire or David Kosher trying to sell
Speaker 6: you something on Facebook, just be aware it's not them.
Speaker 6: The two of them don't need to make money selling
Speaker 6: stuff to you on Facebook and advising you to invest
Speaker 6: in things. They've got their own lives to live. So
Speaker 6: if you see Eddie and David try to sell you something,
Speaker 6: it's a scam and it's not them.
Speaker 30: I And also they have on the Facebook mess ginger
Speaker 30: and notifications and scammers put their scams in them too.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, yeah, I get those as well. People reaching
Speaker 6: out on social media trying to tell me you ask
Speaker 6: me if I've heard about this great new thing that
Speaker 6: the government's doing. I got forty thousand dollars and your
Speaker 6: name was on the list right back, all for privacy reasons.
Speaker 6: I'm surprised they'll let you see my name on there.
Speaker 6: But send me a check. I'll just wait for it. Saharah, Yep,
Speaker 6: youp spot on scammers. Be alert, be alert, but not alarmed.
Speaker 6: That's the thing there. But just don't trust them. I
Speaker 6: don't trust anyone there. Thank you for that. We better
Speaker 6: get another breakout of the way. One double three six
Speaker 6: nine three or one double three eight eighty two. Anything
Speaker 6: you want to chat about your calls and we're taking
Speaker 6: your calls one double three six nine three or one
Speaker 6: double three eight eighty two. Boards a little quiet, but
Speaker 6: given the time of the morning, that's not surprising. If
Speaker 6: you're one of those people who doesn't call because you
Speaker 6: know you don't like waiting on hold forever, give us
Speaker 6: a buzz now, because you'll be able to get through
Speaker 6: pretty quickly. Trevor's in Dandong Morning, Trevor.

Speaker 32: trecked down and if it is for days. One end
Speaker 32: was with no water, he said, could have turned the
Speaker 32: water on or off, on and off anywhere. Yeah, had
Speaker 32: to turn underwater, underground, wells off. He says, I'm among us,
Speaker 32: but he says the movement till more, he said the
Speaker 32: women over there killed more assaultiers than the men.
Speaker 6: Okay, well, I don't like talking about more related things.
Speaker 6: I must have been Trevisa. Will move on from there,
Speaker 6: but thank you for the call, and I'm still The
Speaker 6: thing I took out of all of that was your
Speaker 6: father who had arms that were bigger than your legs.
Speaker 6: That there's some pretty serious arms. I reckon you any
Speaker 6: good in an arm wrestle.
Speaker 9: Jay, not really no arms as thick as legs.
Speaker 6: Arms that are thicker than your legs. It's like Schwarzenegger
Speaker 6: type stuff, isn't it. Look out you know one of
Speaker 6: my favorite movie moments of all time it's just in
Speaker 6: terms of just cheeky, fun, lighthearted stab from one actor
Speaker 6: to another. Do you remember the movie Twins with Arnold
Speaker 6: Schwartzenegger and Danny DeVito. There's a scene there because Arnold Schwartzenegger.
Speaker 6: For people who haven't seen the movie, Arnold Schwartzenegger plays,
Speaker 6: you know, basically the perfect human ever made by a
Speaker 6: genetically modified to come out. So he's all muscular and
Speaker 6: all that stuff, and then he gets released into the
Speaker 6: real world. But he's just completely innocent and naive about everything.
Speaker 6: And they weren't expecting was all the bad parts came
Speaker 6: out in the form of Danny Devita. That was the
Speaker 6: very basic plot of the movie Twins. But there's a
Speaker 6: scene where Arnold Schwartzenegger, in his role, is walking down
Speaker 6: the street and he walks past a poster of Rambo.
Speaker 6: And there's the poster of Rambo, you Sylvester Stallone, the
Speaker 6: chest out, the muscles flexing, you know, because Rambo was
Speaker 6: one tough mother. And so Arnold Swartzenegger looks, looks at
Speaker 6: looks at the poster of Rambo, looks at his own muscles,
Speaker 6: and then just laughs and walks off. Yeah, and I
Speaker 6: just thought that was that really amused me. That scene
Speaker 6: just such a it's such a simple gag whatever, But
Speaker 6: I just thought that was wonderfully funny.
Speaker 9: Measuring himself up against the competition.
Speaker 6: Now, And what was I watching? Another a great little
Speaker 6: story off the back of that movie Twins? What was
Speaker 6: I watching where I saw it or no, I read?
Speaker 6: I was reading a book. I can't remember which book
Speaker 6: it was, But anyway, they were going to make a
Speaker 6: sequel to Twins, and so there was actually a third brother.
Speaker 6: So there's Arnold Schwartzenegger. There was Danny DeVito. So they
Speaker 6: were going to do a movie called Triplet. So you
Speaker 6: know who the triplet was the third person? Oh not Stallone,
Speaker 6: No Eddie Murphy, Oh Eddie. Yeah, Which I just think
Speaker 6: is that that makes it even funny? And triplets Arnold Schwartzenegger,
Speaker 6: Danny DeVito, and Eddie Murphy Eddie just clever plot idea.
Speaker 6: I'm sad they never made that. We better get another
Speaker 6: breakout of the way here. One double three six nine three.
Speaker 6: If you want to give us a call, you're more
Speaker 6: than welcome to also one double three eight eighty two.
Speaker 6: We've only got fifteen minutes to go for the six
Speaker 6: pr listeners. So if you want to have a chat,
Speaker 6: please give us a call now, right Laura and Wilma,
Speaker 6: don't go anywhere and other callers coming through. I just
Speaker 6: quickly want to read an article that's in the paper
Speaker 6: today BA going back to what Sahara said not that
Speaker 6: long ago, a couple of minutes ago about scams. Scam
Speaker 6: losses spark new warning is an article in the Adelaide
Speaker 6: Advertiser and the Herald Sun this morning. Australians have been
Speaker 6: warned by the National Anti Scam Commission after a near
Speaker 6: doubling in reported financial losses from social media scams in
Speaker 6: the first half of twenty twenty five. According to Australia's
Speaker 6: major consumer affairs body, the number of people reporting financial
Speaker 6: losses from social media scams has climbed from twoy two
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty two in the first half of twenty
Speaker 6: twenty four to three three hundred and thirty six in
Speaker 6: the same time this year. So far in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 6: Australians have been conned out of twenty three point four
Speaker 6: million dollars by social media scammers. That's just terrible, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Luckily you and I J have set up a scam
Speaker 6: watch business. And if people want to send us fifty bucks,
Speaker 6: that's right. We'll give them an answer how to not
Speaker 6: get caught by scammers and send you all the advice
Speaker 6: you need. Just send fifty bucks in an envelope into
Speaker 6: the station. Now, of course I'm mad, joshing, but you're
Speaker 6: terrible that people have lost that much money. It's I
Speaker 6: just it's I don't understand how people can get sucked
Speaker 6: into it. Just very simply, don't trust anyone you don't know.
Speaker 6: And fake accounts can be set up looking like they're
Speaker 6: your friends. If your friend says I'm overseas and I
Speaker 6: and I've been mugged and I've lost my wallet, can
Speaker 6: you wire me you five hundred dollars? Ring them, pick
Speaker 6: up the phone and ring them. Chances are they're not
Speaker 6: even overseas. Don't do it. Just don't fall for those scams.
Speaker 6: Laura's in South.
Speaker 36: Yarra Hi, Laura, Oh, hello, son, I do get a
Speaker 36: lot of email scams. Yes, yeah, they can look very
Speaker 36: very authentic. I can tell you I don't believe people
Speaker 36: for getting taken in because yeah.
Speaker 26: They do.
Speaker 36: They're just very very smart. They scammers, I can tell you.
Speaker 36: But Anyway, yesterday I had a chat with the organizer
Speaker 36: of the Mind.
Speaker 11: Body Through It firstival. It's upcoming this weekend from the
Speaker 11: sixth to the ninth, and they're always keen for some novel,
Speaker 11: you know, new ideas for stalls there.
Speaker 36: They said they've got two.
Speaker 11: Vacant ones, but the price for releasing the store for
Speaker 11: the four.
Speaker 36: Days is about two thousand, four hundred And I don't
Speaker 36: see myself being capable of conducting a store, Bob. It's
Speaker 36: pertains to this electronic voice phenomena. You think it'd be
Speaker 36: a no brainer, but it's never been such stall as
Speaker 36: ever been conducted there at all in all the years
Speaker 36: it's been going this Mind Body Throughit Festival at the
Speaker 36: Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Center. But anybody I had written
Speaker 36: to the Astralian Paranormal Society in the past, then perhaps
Speaker 36: you know joining me in this. But it's very hard
Speaker 36: for some reason, it's historically've been very hard to get
Speaker 36: a response from people in this field, in this through
Speaker 36: a communication field for some reason, you know, the paranormal field.
Speaker 6: But anyway, an association or something a paranormal association where yeah,
Speaker 6: well I.
Speaker 36: Really believe you know, I'm so keen to have this
Speaker 36: prophecy realized from this great famous prophet. Her name was
Speaker 36: Baba Vanga. She said, a time will come when people
Speaker 36: will dramatically change. I won't be alive, but I know
Speaker 36: it will happen. We all have better, more peaceful and
Speaker 36: happier times ahead of us. People will realize the existence
Speaker 36: of the spiritual world. And by that, I think she
Speaker 36: was intimating that everybody in the field will be communicating
Speaker 36: electronically with the spirit world. And then NOI that people
Speaker 36: will dramatically change.
Speaker 28: She surely needed.
Speaker 8: I can tell you that'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 6: When did she say that? When did you make that statement?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 36: Oh, golly, well, she died in late last year. I'm
Speaker 36: not so sure. I think she died at age eighty six.
Speaker 36: I can't I don't think it's documented when she actually
Speaker 36: made her prophecy. But I really believe that will come
Speaker 36: to past. Yes, well, I don't see any other modality
Speaker 36: apart from everybody you know, spirit electronic spirit communication, which
Speaker 36: will such achieved such dramatic change in humanity because people
Speaker 36: can come to realize effectively that there are eyes, it
Speaker 36: is everywhere, that all of life is transparent. You don't
Speaker 36: escape absolutely anything in life. I've been doing this about
Speaker 36: thirty years and I've gleaned you the truth.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you're You've been calling in about it for
Speaker 6: quite some time now, and it's it's very interesting. One day,
Speaker 6: if her prophecy comes true, you'll be able to say
Speaker 6: I told you so to a bunch of to a
Speaker 6: bunch of people who listen, who would who would mock you?
Speaker 6: And you know that has happened of course in the past,
Speaker 6: as we know. Good on you, Laura, always lovely to
Speaker 6: chat to you, appreciate the call, thank you, and good
Speaker 6: luck with that when it does happen. We do need
Speaker 6: to break. We do have more time for calls coming up,

Speaker 6: half hour. Jay just came in. We were talking about
Speaker 6: a movie that that sort of scared us both when
Speaker 6: we were young, and we've both rewatched it and had
Speaker 6: different reactions. But going back and revisiting a movie that
Speaker 6: has scared you in the past. It might be a
Speaker 6: bit of a narrow topic for calls, but let's talk
Speaker 6: about that further after the news which is coming up.

Speaker 6: seen a text which I can't read out, but Arthur,
Speaker 6: I think the answer might be yes to your last
Speaker 6: text thank you. What was I saying? Oh yes, So
Speaker 6: thank you six PR. It's been lovely to chat you.

Speaker 6: McManus will be taking another day off. He hopes to
Speaker 6: be back on Thursday morning. Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Speaker 6: He will return for you. But you've got me again tomorrow.
Speaker 6: So for those sticking around, we have a few things
Speaker 6: to raise on the other side of the news. We'd
Speaker 6: love to take your calls on one double three six
Speaker 6: nine three Text messages as well. Zero four double seven
Speaker 6: six nine three six nine three.
Speaker 13: Now this is Australiu obanized with Simon Owens.
Speaker 5: A double.
Speaker 6: I reckon Jay. Your playlist is pretty good? Is all
Speaker 6: the songs you choose from your Spotify playlist?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I always I've always had these one hit wonders.
Speaker 9: I love the one hit wonders of the eighties.
Speaker 6: Seventies one Rocky Burnette I think tired of in the line, Yeah,
Speaker 6: Rocky Burnett, that's the one good song for years. Two
Speaker 6: older brothers you see, and playing all the seventies, yeah,
Speaker 6: and touching into the eighties.
Speaker 9: So it was just I just walked through the door
Speaker 9: and I picked up all those songs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that went with them, that makes sense. My sister
Speaker 6: had a couple of Abbat albums. Yeah, I think that's
Speaker 6: where I heard all the ab stuff, which was just
Speaker 6: otherwise would have been just a smidge before my time.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 9: We had the A. C. D C's Rolling Stones and
Speaker 9: the Beatles.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, you had tougher music than the Abbit that
Speaker 6: I was brought up on. One double, three, six nine
Speaker 6: and three. Good morning to you if you've just woken
Speaker 6: up this morning. Yes, Tony McManus is away today and
Speaker 6: tomorrow as well. He will return on Thursday. That's what
Speaker 6: he's expecting. That's what he's planning. After his illness for
Speaker 6: the last week. He's just a bit off color and
Speaker 6: these are not good hours to work when you're off color.
Speaker 6: So Tony will be back Thursday morning. Simon and Jay
Speaker 6: here with you this morning for the remaining half hour
Speaker 6: of the program, and you calls a welcome on one
Speaker 6: double three six nine three. Can somebody explain to me please?
Speaker 6: I was surprised to hear in the bullet and then
Speaker 6: that the median house price for Perth has overtaken the
Speaker 6: median house price for Melbourne. Now I don't know a
Speaker 6: great deal about real estate, but I always thought that
Speaker 6: Melbourne was horrendously expensive to live in if you're buying
Speaker 6: a house, and I always thought Perth was not as expensive.
Speaker 6: So to hear that the median house price in Perth
Speaker 6: has overtaken the median house price in Melbourne came as
Speaker 6: quite a surprise to me. I have a friend who
Speaker 6: moved from Melbourne where he sold his two bedroom apartment
Speaker 6: a two bedroom unit. He moved to Perth a couple
Speaker 6: of years ago and bought a four bedroom house with
Speaker 6: the money that he made from the sale of his
Speaker 6: two bedroom Melbourne unit. So I'm just intrigued as to
Speaker 6: what the hell happened there or is there something I'm
Speaker 6: not understanding? Can someone bring you to make me go? Oh, well,
Speaker 6: that makes sense now I'd love a call on that
Speaker 6: if you don't mind one double three six ninety three.
Speaker 6: We have got calls hanging on, so let's get to them.
Speaker 6: So first cap off the rank for this hour. She's
Speaker 6: been hanging on a bit. Wilma is in Landsboro. Hi, Wilma,
Speaker 6: how are you going?
Speaker 10: Sim I'm going to tell you you could have bought
Speaker 10: Marts a larger and Eric yesterday, but they were about
Speaker 10: or near en after fifteen dollars a kill, I thought.
Speaker 6: Kraky, that's uh, it's a bit more than i'd normally pay.
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh that's so sure. This and dear Star have
Speaker 10: seen them for years. But anyway, that's it. But another
Speaker 10: thing I was going I liked Julian because he brings
Speaker 10: back a lot of memories to me. Yeah, I'm about
Speaker 10: because I'm nearly eighty two, spent a lot of time
Speaker 10: Melbourne when I was younger, just visiting, and yeah, he's
Speaker 10: got got great memories. And another thing, the scary film
Speaker 10: Jaws scared of Yes.
Speaker 6: The beaches were empty in the late seventies because of Jaws.
Speaker 6: It was gee that scared the heck out of people.
Speaker 10: You didn't I I've never liked the Sue mach anyway,
Speaker 10: but I like just go and just paddling it up
Speaker 10: to just above my ankles. Love that. But no, I
Speaker 10: think the extremely scared me.
Speaker 6: And I think if you're with me, with me, Wilma,
Speaker 6: I think we're all still just a little bit scared.
Speaker 6: When I go down to the beach, I'll go in
Speaker 6: sort of up to the waist, but I'll be looking around.
Speaker 6: I don't go out too far, and I'll just be
Speaker 6: casually looking around as I have a little swim, sort
Speaker 6: of paddling around in the shadows, in the shadows.
Speaker 10: Sorry, yeah, yeah, no, no, it's great there, I think,
Speaker 10: And yeah, oh I last day. But two. Of course,
Speaker 10: I've got all cassettes.
Speaker 25: Yes, yeah, my.
Speaker 6: Sister had the Ring Ring album on cassette, but she
Speaker 6: had Arrival on vinyl.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yep, no, it's yeah. And I started off so
Speaker 10: I got that music it doesn't matter. But I'll tell
Speaker 10: you what I don't know. Have you ever played Beaudiful
Speaker 10: Baye yet by Lucia?
Speaker 6: Yes, Mauritia, the Mauritia or however you pronounce her name. Yes,
Speaker 6: she did an album of seekers songs as well. She's
Speaker 6: got an amazing voice.
Speaker 10: Yes, beautiful, I've got all you know, all the music
Speaker 10: as you have a produced, but that song Beautiful a
Speaker 10: Way is absolutely magnificent.

Speaker 14: I just mucking around, but she's petrified. Off Believel dead.
Speaker 14: Not sure if change those that. There's an old classic
Speaker 14: original Ladies and later on in the about twelve years later,
Speaker 14: hell Raiser came out. It's pretty safe.
Speaker 19: You guys watch him for a billful laugh.
Speaker 14: But I can't do it too much, so I'm not
Speaker 14: scared of him. But yeah, someone else would be watching
Speaker 14: something like that.

Speaker 6: I think the human body is a beautiful thing, beautiful thing,
Speaker 6: some more beautiful than others. And I can say that

Speaker 6: I think is a great invention. Well, and there would
Speaker 6: be women out there and men's let's go it all
Speaker 6: open to everyone who likes everything. There would be people
Speaker 6: out there who appreciate speedos. I don't, but there'd be
Speaker 6: people who do. Vivala difference, as they say.
Speaker 9: It's one of my life goals. What do they call
Speaker 9: it the bucket list to get into a pair of speedos?
Speaker 6: Oh really, yes, yeah, I'll have to try it one day.
Speaker 9: Stop it lose a few kself.
Speaker 6: You're luck. I'd need the roof cras Christmas in broad
Speaker 6: Meadow this morning, Chris, Oh.
Speaker 38: Simon, Jay, Look, I'm just keeping itself very grounded. I've
Speaker 38: been waiting since that major attack by Ukraine on the
Speaker 38: Russian bomber Fleet's wiped out between a third and a
Speaker 38: half of their fire the bombers that have nuclear powered,
Speaker 38: nuclear capable carrying nuclear warheads, and I'm waiting for Russia's
Speaker 38: Responset'll see what happens here, because this could really broke
Speaker 38: out to something more sinister than ever before. But look,
Speaker 38: I'm trying to keep a level header, Joe and Simon.
Speaker 38: To my secondary mental health providers, they've lost five support
Speaker 38: coordinators of people's disability packages this year. One manager resigned
Speaker 38: four weeks ago my special psycholoist from Sunshig and I
Speaker 38: said was on and two weeks ago. I see last
Speaker 38: week just for the last visit, and my own is
Speaker 38: probably go out of five years is now to go
Speaker 38: into an administration part of the workplace. So I'm keeping
Speaker 38: ground as best I can. And now there's some domestic
Speaker 38: issues that have been getting me tired and exhausted. And
Speaker 38: people intentionally making banging fences and then don't barking profusely
Speaker 38: for one o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock at night,
Speaker 38: eight o'clock in the evening. I don't know this is
Speaker 38: allegedly anything deliberate to force people up myself to move out,
Speaker 38: but I'm the only thing I'm focused on is tomorrow.
Speaker 38: It is disboty pension going up and given my major
Speaker 38: food most of it for the full night a head
Speaker 38: of no I get additional things. I don't really have
Speaker 38: any sounding board. It's very hard to call the help
Speaker 38: lines now because you can't talk about the stick trauma
Speaker 38: or sufferings because I may think you either a risk
Speaker 38: yourself or risk to others, or suicidal, which is not
Speaker 38: the case. But I did finished by sale this week.
Speaker 38: I good friend. I could do most interrupt to it
Speaker 38: on half of John Hardy and Nurry Warren. He's still
Speaker 38: in hospital after two or forty years, and he's said
Speaker 38: all my love and all my prayer.
Speaker 6: Assignment, and that's lovely that you take the time to
Speaker 6: do that, Chris, thank you for the call. That is
Speaker 6: lovely that you do take that time. And when you
Speaker 6: are feeling a bit flat, Chris, a bit sad or
Speaker 6: a bit on edge about things, just think about exactly
Speaker 6: that Paul John been in hospital for two and a
Speaker 6: half years. It's you know, we forget how blessed we
Speaker 6: are most of the time, and it's only when we
Speaker 6: see what others go through that we can begin to think, well,
Speaker 6: you know what, maybe our life just isn't isn't quite
Speaker 6: that bad. But thanks for the call, Chris, And it's
Speaker 6: lovely you're concerned for John. That's in your friendship to John.
Speaker 6: That's that's very good. What was I going to Oh
Speaker 6: I had something my head that I was going to
Speaker 6: raise just then for the last minute of the show.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it was a text here it is The
Speaker 6: Omen movie, writes a seven eight one Jay The Omen Movie.
Speaker 6: As kids, I used to trick my little sister and
Speaker 6: tell her that I found the six sixty sixth birthmark
Speaker 6: on her scalp like Damien had, and she'd run off
Speaker 6: crying to my mom. So for those who don't know
Speaker 6: the plot of The Omen, it's about a young boy
Speaker 6: who is basically the devil. And he was born on
Speaker 6: the sixth of June at six a m. So six
Speaker 6: sixty six, which is number of the Beast, which also
Speaker 6: reminds me of a wonderful There was a comedian I
Speaker 6: wish I could remember his name, but he had an
Speaker 6: album and it was six six's eight neighbor of the Beast.
Speaker 6: Just think that's brilliant. I was born on the fifth
Speaker 6: back in a.
