Speaker 6: of an impersonation, if I do say so myself.
Speaker 7: I like personating voices.
Speaker 6: Yeah, fun. Who's your favorite to do?
Speaker 7: I just like doing accents, you know, like the British accent,
Speaker 7: that sort of stuff.
Speaker 6: Oh, I would kill to be able to do accents.
Speaker 6: I'm not good at it, really, Yeah, and it destroys
Speaker 6: me because I'd love to be doing character, just creating
Speaker 6: characters in different accents.
Speaker 7: I drop into any accident anyhow now and then and
Speaker 7: people just look at me like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Why did you change that?
Speaker 6: For no reason? Exactly when you're at the doctors and

Speaker 6: just delightful to have you on board, and we want
Speaker 6: your calls of course, one double three six nine three
Speaker 6: and as always, anything you want to chat about I
Speaker 6: haven't actually said in This is the fifth show I've
Speaker 6: done and I haven't yet said what I usually say,
Speaker 6: which is it's a genuine, unfiltered open line. All we
Speaker 6: ask is your name and suburb and were popular where
Speaker 6: there's no We don't need to know what you're going
Speaker 6: to talk about beforehand. That's why we have delay, just

Speaker 6: also text as well. Zero four double seven six three
Speaker 6: six nine three. Rob has sent through a text straight
Speaker 6: away off the top, and it's the same text he
Speaker 6: sent through about eight times last night as well. Get better,
Speaker 6: tain y Mac. May you be back on the airwaves soon,
Speaker 6: expecting you to be sharper and more efficient than Melbourne's

Speaker 6: you might have bounced back sooner. Look forward to sharing
Speaker 6: the air with you discussing another topic. Thank you, Rob.
Speaker 6: That's the first time he's sent that this morning. We'll
Speaker 6: see how many times it comes through again. He's a
Speaker 6: good man, Rob, He's very good on the text. I've
Speaker 6: got do I third in now. I will just to
Speaker 6: throw something into the conversation. At the start, I get
Speaker 6: press releases from PA Media Jay and it's an English
Speaker 6: pr company. I have no idea how I managed to
Speaker 6: get on their email list. But they send through two
Speaker 6: stories every day that they think people might be interested in,
Speaker 6: and then you can buy the story. You can give
Speaker 6: them money and they will set you up with an
Speaker 6: interview with the people involved in the story. So I
Speaker 6: think it works as sort of an agency thing. If
Speaker 6: you've got an interesting story, you can get onto these guys.
Speaker 6: Then they try and make money out of the interview for.
Speaker 7: You, like sometimes subscriptions, Yeah this is my story, instead
Speaker 7: of subscription I gives yeah.
Speaker 6: So it's anyway. But I'm on their list and I'm
Speaker 6: just fascinated by this story. I haven't paid anyone any
Speaker 6: money because I'm not going to because this network doesn't
Speaker 6: work that way. We don't pay for radio interviews. But
Speaker 6: the title of it is Curry House forced to close
Speaker 6: after complaints over curry smell, it says, and the owners say,
Speaker 6: shutting the doors as a punch in the gut. A
Speaker 6: popular curry house has been forced to close after two
Speaker 6: decades in business following complaints about its smelling of curry.
Speaker 6: Cinnamon's Restaurant in Wheatley, Oxfordshire, has been operating for over
Speaker 6: twenty years when a complaint was made to South Oxfordshire
Speaker 6: District Council about the curry odors emanating from the restaurant.
Speaker 6: In twenty twenty one, Environmental health officers visited and upheld
Speaker 6: the complaint. The Bangladeshi restaurant said they spent around thirty
Speaker 6: five thousand pounds so that's over seventy grand Australian for
Speaker 6: a new extractor fan to combat the odor. However, another
Speaker 6: complaint was made and the curry house was served an
Speaker 6: abatement noticed which deemed Cinnamon's new ventilation system to be defective.
Speaker 6: Unable to afford the installation cost of a new system,
Speaker 6: which the restaurant claimed to be in the region of
Speaker 6: fifty thousand pounds, so well over one hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 6: Cinnamons was taken to court and forced to pay twenty
Speaker 6: five thousand pounds in fines after pleading guilty In October
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, despite the funds spent, the council issued
Speaker 6: a further abatement notice, and in May this year Cinnamons
Speaker 6: announced it could not afford the demands and would close
Speaker 6: in mid June. And this is the bit that really
Speaker 6: gets me. Making ten people unemployed. How can you complain
Speaker 6: about the smell of a curry house when you're going
Speaker 6: there to have a curry?
Speaker 7: So let me get this straight. Yep, if you go
Speaker 7: to a mechanic and you're overwhelmed by the smell of
Speaker 7: oil or just the fumes, you could sue them for the.
Speaker 6: Smell, the smell of yeah, the smell of oil.
Speaker 7: And basically putting its yeah yeah wow. So you go
Speaker 7: to the doctors and it makes you feel sick for
Speaker 7: making you feel sick. Yep, just with the smell.
Speaker 6: What are the businesses that have a set smell about
Speaker 6: and bad? Like if you're working in a sewage farm
Speaker 6: or anything, isn't it Yeah?
Speaker 7: No luck there?
Speaker 6: But I think of I think of people who have
Speaker 6: to go to the houses of hoarders and the like
Speaker 6: where you know, where things can be nasty on the
Speaker 6: odd occasion, you know, and the poor people there. But
Speaker 6: the thing that just makes me say, it's a restaurant.
Speaker 6: It's a little restaurant, Like there's a photo of it,
Speaker 6: and it's just it's just got little doors there and
Speaker 6: two people standing out the front. It's not it's not
Speaker 6: like it's not a McDonald's and you know, twenty four hours,
Speaker 6: keeping neighbors awake, that sort of thing. It's a little restaurant.
Speaker 6: It's a curry house. And the complaint is that it
Speaker 6: smells like curry.
Speaker 7: People are nasty. It's a privilege, you know, that self privilege. Well,
Speaker 7: you know, if it's if affecting me in some way,
Speaker 7: well yeh, i' go make someone pay for it.
Speaker 6: Now. I'm not completely unsympathetic to anyone who might live
Speaker 6: nearby who has the smell of curry wafting into their house.
Speaker 6: But I would also say the place has been there
Speaker 6: twenty years. Like if it just opened up last year
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, all the people who already
Speaker 6: lived in the area are going, oh my god, it's
Speaker 6: twenty four hours a day. The place just thinks of curry.
Speaker 6: I can't stand it. Then I would be more sympathetic
Speaker 6: to the people there. But it's been there for twenty years,
Speaker 6: So I sort of go, when you moved in, you know.
Speaker 7: Did you about it?
Speaker 6: Did you do your due diligence in checking out the
Speaker 6: place anyway? But we don't know the circumstance. We don't
Speaker 6: know how long people have been living around it, or
Speaker 6: even if it's local residents. We don't know all of
Speaker 6: that because I didn't pay the money for the story.
Speaker 6: But I just saw that and thought, how sad an
Speaker 6: Indian restaurant, no Bangladeshi restaurant that sells curry in trouble
Speaker 6: because it smells like curry and they've spent all the
Speaker 6: money they can afford, are still not good enough closing down,
Speaker 6: and now ten people will lose their jobs.
Speaker 7: Let's say some people rally behind them and if there's
Speaker 7: any core costs or anything involved, that they can help
Speaker 7: them out.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I suppose if there's regular customers who really like
Speaker 6: the place and the good hopefully they'll jump on board
Speaker 6: and help them out. Hopefully they can relocate to another place.
Speaker 6: I don't know whatever the solutions are, but I just
Speaker 6: saw that, and it's one of those ones where I
Speaker 6: just go, it's just disappointed. It's just something about that
Speaker 6: that just is disappointing. Chris is in Brody Morning, Chris.
Speaker 8: Oh Simon, when you knock off any time of Fred,
Speaker 8: will you make sure you'd be nice when you go
Speaker 8: for that hungry drive through?
Speaker 9: Nice?
Speaker 8: Those drive through A systems have been very polite to them.
Speaker 6: I'm always beautifully polite. I've got kids who worked in
Speaker 6: fast food, so I know the troubles they have.
Speaker 8: You'll be talking to probably someone like wilworst past only
Speaker 8: is Mandy and I asked that coffee but she's actually
Speaker 8: not a girl or guy. If he's actually AI hug
Speaker 8: you act to trial and AI for the drive drive
Speaker 8: throw checkout?
Speaker 6: Are they that they come.
Speaker 8: The same news report after free means Australian's got pay rise,
Speaker 8: it's retaid workers and yet in contradicting that now and
Speaker 8: this is the suicide of it. You know, the businesses
Speaker 8: and companies are going to say, well, look the other
Speaker 8: usual thing for some most us, we'll get to pay
Speaker 8: rise some of who will be the pay rise gipt today,
Speaker 8: the job you don't know tomorrow and replaced by a right. Yeah,
Speaker 8: it's I know, there's it's not good for me for
Speaker 8: being display pets say that no one should ever ask
Speaker 8: for pay rise. But there are consequences and this AI
Speaker 8: is encouraged more consequences for business and companies because some
Speaker 8: companies may say, well, look, we can provide a really
Speaker 8: beautiful Australian product and we can move offshore to Singapore
Speaker 8: or Tilert and operate for paid workers two dollars out where.
Speaker 8: That's a lot of money and they have a respect
Speaker 8: for money. And a lot of people in those coaches
Speaker 8: don't want to ask for Paris because said they don't
Speaker 8: want to lose adult because if they're ninety years old,
Speaker 8: they've got no savors. They've got to keep working. But
Speaker 8: also I've got to got chat, not on w You
Speaker 8: know the Queensland former Queensland Opposition Liberal leader now premier,
Speaker 8: he said adult times for adult crimes. If I don't
Speaker 8: get on the legislation through in one hundred days, I'll
Speaker 8: resign as premier. He easily won the election. If I
Speaker 8: altdly just wake up this. They don't actually have an
Speaker 8: upper House. He's won the elect he's got the numbers
Speaker 8: in the legends of assembily don't have a house legency
Speaker 8: of canceled.
Speaker 6: No, they don't have only got the lower House in Queensland. Yes,
Speaker 6: to get.
Speaker 8: Asked without any opposition because there's no numbers against him
Speaker 8: in the upper House to make it law. What a
Speaker 8: clever ploy that was.
Speaker 6: That's so did he actually say if he can get
Speaker 6: it through?
Speaker 8: He said, if I don't get it through within one
Speaker 8: hundred days adult times a out our crimes and punishable things,
Speaker 8: I'll resign as Premier. But he's one of the elections.
Speaker 8: So they've got the numbers in the lower House and
Speaker 8: they only have a low house. They don't have enough house.
Speaker 6: Because yeah, there must be there must be something. We're
Speaker 6: a miss increase that has escaped both you and me.
Speaker 8: I explain this to the producer on Jackie Falgate show
Speaker 8: that look, obviously, I understand that they're trying to pump
Speaker 8: up to sit down line about this and that accommodation.
Speaker 8: But she can't make a captain's call because so she
Speaker 8: made a captain's call on hundreds of meters of dollars
Speaker 8: that no one can become whatever agreed with, and you're
Speaker 8: stuck with it. That'd be like the coats of corruption.
Speaker 8: She's got the numbers in the allegends of Assembly, but
Speaker 8: many times aren't necessarily saying the opposition, the main Liberal
Speaker 8: National Party College, but the Greens in Barbers. She has
Speaker 8: to sit down with them before she makes announcements and
Speaker 8: say and they have to ward it down because you
Speaker 8: know those goodie goodies and bar us and they say, well,
Speaker 8: we don't want young kids being tortured in presents, and
Speaker 8: we don't want to be on a lifetime a welfare
Speaker 8: or career criminals when they get out of jail. So
Speaker 8: she has to empty if she really wanted to eighteen
Speaker 8: months ago, even if you carried an off, you'd be
Speaker 8: putting the job. So it's not to Premier to Cintra
Speaker 8: or Premier Danuels and for it. And I'm not impartial
Speaker 8: because I did spend fourteen news and eight months across
Speaker 8: with in the LP so people could target. That's quite okay.
Speaker 8: It's sticking up with a bit like mates rates and
Speaker 8: all that, or saying all the good things. But I
Speaker 8: don't really want to change our democracy. But it Brad.
Speaker 8: Give credit to Brad Button if he gets if he
Speaker 8: wins your stats one thing, but if he doesn't have
Speaker 8: the numbers in the Upper House to make it more,
Speaker 8: we're stuck with a style maker and we get nowhere
Speaker 8: for the next four years.
Speaker 6: Of a fixed Well, that's that's always been the same
Speaker 6: for any party that's in power. Generally the opposition sort
Speaker 6: of hold the balance of power and the upper House
Speaker 6: is I think that's almost well, it's often the case.
Speaker 6: It's not always the case. There are other times where
Speaker 6: a party could push legislation through. But yeah, look, interesting chat,
Speaker 6: Thank you, Grist. I've got to move on. We've got
Speaker 6: to get to a break and we've got other calls ahead,
Speaker 6: and soon we've got Barry Erkhart coming up for a
Speaker 6: chat as well. Looking forward to that. Back in a minute.
Speaker 6: Lady Norma is in wa Hello, Lady Norma, how are
Speaker 6: you this morning?
Speaker 10: I'm I'm well, and I'm wondering. I have a question
Speaker 10: on my mind. Do all the men in Victoria have
Speaker 10: deep sixty voices like yours?
Speaker 6: Oh? That's very very kind. Indeed, I've got it. I
Speaker 6: caught a little head cold a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 6: and I think my voice is a little bit raspier
Speaker 6: than normal.
Speaker 10: Is that what happened? Yes, I just well, it's not
Speaker 10: what happened. I don't know that I've heard you much before,
Speaker 10: but I often talked to Patty Panetta, and he hasn't
Speaker 10: been on the weekend.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, no, Pat's been on on the weekend.
Speaker 11: He Well, I must have missed that.
Speaker 10: Maybe I had it on the rotten part of the
Speaker 10: when I was done, Because half the time I don't
Speaker 10: know whether I'm I'm on this side of Western Australia
Speaker 10: or over the border.
Speaker 11: Or where I am.
Speaker 10: But you know what one thing you mentioned a while
Speaker 10: ago about somebody complaining about an Indian smell coming from
Speaker 10: a house where there's Indian people cooking.
Speaker 6: Well it was a restaurant, but yes, yes, well, I.
Speaker 12: Tell you what I love.
Speaker 10: The smell of Indian is.
Speaker 13: I don't like eating it.
Speaker 12: I love it.
Speaker 10: I walk up into our local shopping center. Oh where
Speaker 10: do I walk past that? You can't it hits you,
Speaker 10: It really doesn't. I always think, Oh, I wish I
Speaker 10: was going in there, but I don't want do because
Speaker 10: it might move my throat. But I love the smell
Speaker 10: of Indian food.
Speaker 6: Well, I reckon what you need, lady Norma is the
Speaker 6: buttered chicken. That's what I usually get because it's not
Speaker 6: got a lot of spice in it, and it's just
Speaker 6: a dish.
Speaker 10: Oh I know, And we do have a new area
Speaker 10: where I live now that we're getting all these people
Speaker 10: from recent states to come and live in wister Australia
Speaker 10: or other states in India and everywhere. And there is
Speaker 10: an Indian household. But you know, I've never smelt curry
Speaker 10: or spicy stuff coming from that house.
Speaker 14: I've never smelt it, so I don't know what they
Speaker 14: call it.
Speaker 10: But anyway, now I love it. But you know what
Speaker 10: I reckon is a lot of windes. There's so many
Speaker 10: people who've got to have something to wind about.
Speaker 6: Well. You know, I was talking to a friend about
Speaker 6: this the other day, and there are some people who
Speaker 6: need drama in their life because it almost like it
Speaker 6: gives them a purpose, something to fight against, something to
Speaker 6: fight for. They need to have a purpose otherwise they
Speaker 6: could feel quite empty neglected. Yeah, and I'm not saying
Speaker 6: that in any sort of bad way. It's just that
Speaker 6: I think some people's personality types are they've got to
Speaker 6: they've got to have something to fight for something. I
Speaker 6: want to improve this.
Speaker 10: They should go into politics, shouldn't they.
Speaker 6: Well I don't think so, because it didn't never get
Speaker 6: anything done as a politician. I think politicians go into
Speaker 6: politics for the right reason. Then they all get caught
Speaker 6: up in the party system and nothing ever gets achieved.
Speaker 10: Anyway, good to talk to you and mister the Sunny
Speaker 10: A little pot. Sorry now, I was going to say,
Speaker 10: I have said a picture of you and you've got
Speaker 10: the little hat you were that's it, yes, on top
Speaker 10: of the head. And a friend of mine was just
Speaker 10: telling me how she threw it a pot, a very
Speaker 10: famous type of pot many years ago at her husband
Speaker 10: and he said to her, do you know how?
Speaker 6: Oh, we've just we've just lost your lady Norma. We
Speaker 6: got do you know how? And then the lines dropped out, No,
Speaker 6: go on, never mind. Well, thank you lady Normal for
Speaker 6: the call. Sorry we didn't get to hear the end
Speaker 6: of that, but but we do appreciate your chat. James
Speaker 6: is in Adelaide, Hi, James made good things.
Speaker 15: I think. My friend of mine she asked me, you
Speaker 15: keep talking about music on radio. What's the story? And
Speaker 15: I said, well, music is what gives me pleasure, And
Speaker 15: I said, you know it's it's a big part of
Speaker 15: my life, mate. I don't you know, I can't remember.
Speaker 15: I don't think I've ever lived a day in my
Speaker 15: life without music, even from a baby, you know, with
Speaker 15: the parents playing music. So yeah, it's just I just
Speaker 15: love music.
Speaker 6: Music. Music is something we all, I think, need and
Speaker 6: want in our lives. And there's no borders on music
Speaker 6: when it comes when it comes to that need and
Speaker 6: want and love of it.
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, I keep telling him, I'm true. I'm
Speaker 15: chilled the time.

Speaker 6: Yeah, great song.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and before the Next Tear Drops Fall, And I've
Speaker 15: got a lot of quite a few other ones that
Speaker 15: that I love. And just a bit of trivia about
Speaker 15: him back in nineteen seventy five, I find this a
Speaker 15: sonis what the word is?
Speaker 10: Not?
Speaker 15: Astonishing? I can't think of the word at the moment.
Speaker 15: He had Jukepik Awards in nineteen seventy five. He got
Speaker 15: it was awarded the Artist of the year and record
Speaker 15: of the year if for having the highest and songs
Speaker 15: played on jukebox machines in the United States.
Speaker 18: Incredible.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a pretty good effort.
Speaker 15: You know, considering all the good singers back in nineteen
Speaker 15: seventy five. I say, yeah, good on.
Speaker 6: Him, mate, Yeah, that's a great efforcent.
Speaker 15: Where Yeah, those classic those those two songs are classics.
Speaker 6: Yeah. He passed away about twenty years ago thereabouts, I think,
Speaker 6: but I actually had him on my rundown because I
Speaker 6: have a little list of topics to bring up if
Speaker 6: the calls get a bit quiet, and I've written on
Speaker 6: my rundown Freddie Fender songs in two languages as a
Speaker 6: talkback topic, which i'll which we'll do later. I'll aast
Speaker 6: for calls on it, because before the next tear Dropped
Speaker 6: Falls was in English and I'm not sure what the
Speaker 6: other language was actually, to be honest, Yeah, Spanish.
Speaker 15: Wasted days. Yeah that wasted days and waste the nights
Speaker 15: reminded me or all of my love life.
Speaker 16: Yeah, unlucky in love, unlucky in love.
Speaker 6: How sad but also funny.
Speaker 15: Yeah, And before I go with that, so i'man there
Speaker 15: was a lady on the news that I saw on
Speaker 15: chune I in Adelaide, and they were talking about the
Speaker 15: seventy million dollars a terrible I was like, I don't gamble,
Speaker 15: is it?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, I don't do them either, so I don't know.
Speaker 15: Anyway I was talking about. You know, they were interviewing people,
Speaker 15: you know what they do with the win. Lady said
Speaker 15: the best thing I'd say, exactly the same thing. And
Speaker 15: you'll find this proppery heard done to you know, to understand.
Speaker 15: But I'm talking the truth. She said, I'm happy the
Speaker 15: way I am without seventy million. That's good, and that's
Speaker 15: exactly what I and that's what I am. You know,
Speaker 15: my life doesn't revolve around money. I mean, I've got
Speaker 15: a you know, I'm not struggling, and I'm not a
Speaker 15: millionaire yep. But my life doesn't revolve around that word cream.
Speaker 15: And you know what friends stands for. No, this is
Speaker 15: a ROBERTA. Williams one. She Mason T shirts many many
Speaker 15: years ago. Cash rules everything around me.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, do you remember that? No? No, don't remember
Speaker 6: that at all, but it's yeah, it's good. I Look,
Speaker 6: I've got to move on, James, because we've got to
Speaker 6: get to Barry after the break here, which we've got
Speaker 6: to get to now. But I'd love that idea that
Speaker 6: you know I'm happy without the seventy million dollars. I
Speaker 6: tend to agree with that. I'm happy without the seventy
Speaker 6: million dollars, but I must admit it would bring a
Speaker 6: smile to my face if it was given to me.
Speaker 6: I can't deny that either. Get on you, James. Always
Speaker 6: a pleasure to chat when I'm filling in for Tony.
Speaker 6: Good to chat to you. We'll do it again soon.

Speaker 6: owner of the world's largest business card.
Speaker 17: To have all that written on it, Well, I hope
Speaker 17: it's the explanatory enough, because with that sort of introduction,
Speaker 17: it will take me some time to explain exactly what
Speaker 17: it is I do and what experience I've gained over
Speaker 17: the years.
Speaker 6: Ah, and what is it exactly you do?
Speaker 19: Is?
Speaker 6: The answer for me is as little as possible.
Speaker 17: Well, absolutely, I think that therein lies the answer.
Speaker 16: Though.
Speaker 17: We're a market research and strategic planning practice, and so
Speaker 17: I go out and I research the questions not of
Speaker 17: what people are doing, how they're doing it, but more
Speaker 17: fundamentally for the advantages of businesses, talking about the why question,
Speaker 17: why is it that people do? So when a lot
Speaker 17: of people talk about research, they want statistics. Fifty four
Speaker 17: percent of people did this, seventy eight percent of people
Speaker 17: will do that. Well, that's very interesting in and of itself,
Speaker 17: but really that's not going to determine anything because the
Speaker 17: fundamental thing is but why do they do that?
Speaker 6: Yes? Yes, interesting. Now, so this morning you wanted to
Speaker 6: chat about customer recommendations. I love this as a topic.
Speaker 17: Yeah, well, I think that it's a real myth that's
Speaker 17: been a long, long standing sort of premise that when
Speaker 17: you say to people, how's business go all fantastic and
Speaker 17: what do you put it down to?
Speaker 20: Oh?
Speaker 17: No, eighty percent of my business comes from recommendations and referrals.
Speaker 17: And yeah, I've heard that for a long period of time.
Speaker 17: But when you actually probe the question, that's not the case.
Speaker 17: Because you can ask a person Simon, would you recommend
Speaker 17: darry Yurker to pre a servitate or address a conference?
Speaker 21: Oh?
Speaker 17: Absolutely. But then you say, well, okay, you said that,
Speaker 17: how many people actually do it? Because there's an innate
Speaker 17: reluctance to actually go out there, put your buying a
Speaker 17: proverbial on the line and say I'm going to recommend
Speaker 17: Simon or I'm going to recommend Barry because it's the
Speaker 17: sort of thing where relationships can be fractured because based
Speaker 17: on that recommendation, someone else uses you and it doesn't
Speaker 17: work out. Therefore, the person during the presentation and sub
Speaker 17: performing isn't having the finger pointed at them. They go
Speaker 17: back to you and say, well, hold on, you recommended
Speaker 17: this guy and he was unbelievably disasterul.
Speaker 6: It is really interesting to hear you say that because
Speaker 6: I was listening to another radio announcer, Lucy and Kell,
Speaker 6: who do a show on another station, and they would Lucy,
Speaker 6: they happened to be husband and wife, and Lucy was
Speaker 6: saying that her husband Kel never ever recommends anything to anyone,
Speaker 6: and be it a movie, he's seen, a book, he's read,
Speaker 6: a restaurant he's eatnt he never recommends it. He never
Speaker 6: will come into work and say, hey, guys, I went
Speaker 6: here last night. You've really got to try it. And
Speaker 6: she probed him on air about why don't you ever
Speaker 6: recommend anything? And he said, because if people don't like it,
Speaker 6: then I won't respect me exactly.
Speaker 17: And that's a long lasting sort of a scenario, and
Speaker 17: the cascading effects of that sort of thing are quite
Speaker 17: quite profound. I would always say, all right, by all means,
Speaker 17: go out and not ask for recommendations, ask for an introduction.
Speaker 17: Were you happy with that? You're happy with that's fine. Is
Speaker 17: there anyone that you could actually affect an introduction for me?
Speaker 17: I don't need for you to recommend me, just to
Speaker 17: facilitate the introduction. So that and I would never recommend
Speaker 17: anyone to anyone, because simply I said, look, seventy to
Speaker 17: eighty percent of the success in business is about the
Speaker 17: chemistry and the relationship. Does the chemistry click. I'm more
Speaker 17: than happy to facilitate to say this person is good,
Speaker 17: he's she or they have all this experience. This is
Speaker 17: what they do, this is how they do it. It
Speaker 17: may be of interest to you if you are interested.
Speaker 17: Here is his, her or their phone number or email address.
Speaker 17: Make contact. The chemistry fits, that's the way for it
Speaker 17: to be affected.
Speaker 6: And that's very good too. Yes, because you're you're not
Speaker 6: actually saying you know you must do this because I've
Speaker 6: had a good experience. You're saying I've had a good experience.
Speaker 6: If you'd like, if you'd like an introduction, I can
Speaker 6: help you. It's it's a subtle difference, but it's a
Speaker 6: it's an important difference.
Speaker 17: I think well, I think that it's all about integrity
Speaker 17: and transparency. I can hand on heart say to you,
Speaker 17: over my extended career in business, I have never taken
Speaker 17: properation for you. I've never taken a kickbacker. I've never
Speaker 17: taken a gratuity because the whole barrow. You know, is
Speaker 17: there anyone that you can help us get some business?
Speaker 17: You know, We're more than happy to say ten percent
Speaker 17: fifteen percent and give it to you. I said, no, no, no,
Speaker 17: I never want to be compromised on that type of situation.
Speaker 17: I will do the introduction because I think the two
Speaker 17: of you would work together very very well, but it's
Speaker 17: going to be determined by you. You're going to take
Speaker 17: the risk. Therefore, there was absolutely no inage recognition or
Speaker 17: justification for me to be paid any population fee at all.
Speaker 17: So over the years I've always been able to see
Speaker 17: very sound at night knowing full well that I have
Speaker 17: never been compromised on the drive of well, there's going
Speaker 17: to be some money in it for me and people
Speaker 17: I've understood that over the years that they kind of say, no,
Speaker 17: that's a credible introduction, and I can take that and
Speaker 17: I will make the decision and take responsibility and enjoy
Speaker 17: the rewards of the subsequent and consequential relationship development.
Speaker 6: Now, Barry, what are your thoughts on Google reviews? And
Speaker 6: I asked this because a little story of something that
Speaker 6: happened to me when I holiday. I holiday a place
Speaker 6: called Balnarring Caravan Park. Family have a little spot down there,
Speaker 6: and there was a pizza shop that was about a
Speaker 6: fifteen minute drive away, and I got a pizza from
Speaker 6: there and it was an incredibly good pizza to my tastes.
Speaker 6: And so they asked when I was at the pizza shop,
Speaker 6: they had a little thing They're saying Google reviews. Can you,
Speaker 6: if you enjoy our product, please post a Google review.
Speaker 6: So I did a Google review and said five stars,
Speaker 6: this pizza was magnificent, the taste was fantastic, the crust
Speaker 6: blub I went into great detail about why I thought
Speaker 6: the pizza was great. About six seven months later, I
Speaker 6: got a little notification from Google saying your review has
Speaker 6: been viewed twenty thousand times, and I thought, well, that's magnificent,
Speaker 6: what a great favor I've done for the company. So
Speaker 6: when I went down the following year to the caravan
Speaker 6: park again, I thought, oh, I'm going to get another
Speaker 6: one of those fabulous pizzas the place had shut down.
Speaker 17: And therefore, the question is you have put your personal
Speaker 17: integrity on the line and it comes back to personal recommendations.
Speaker 17: You know one of the things that you did. MA
Speaker 17: ask me will Bury, what have you done over the years,
Speaker 17: I've written the two largest summing books in Australasia on
Speaker 17: customer service. Everyone toime, I know we wonderful small businesses
Speaker 17: in particular, Oh, we can be the big guys because
Speaker 17: we give customer service. Well, the problem is that a
Speaker 17: lot of Australians are now saying the one thing that
Speaker 17: is lacking in customer service, particularly with the introduction and
Speaker 17: intrusion of artificial intelligence, is one word personal. And so
Speaker 17: what you've got to do is to say yes by
Speaker 17: all means in race it innovation, creativity and that sort
Speaker 17: of thing. Yes, but you make sure that that actually
Speaker 17: complements it doesn't replace humanity. Today the biggest factor in
Speaker 17: customer service, and there's fourteen steps of customer satisfaction. The
Speaker 17: first three relate to getting access and communication with the
Speaker 17: organization when there's an artificial intrusion of technology coming in
Speaker 17: and say your calls are important to us, or you know,
Speaker 17: push what age all people want, even young people who
Speaker 17: used to be on Twitter and Facebook. And that's so
Speaker 17: I just want to have access or a default recognition
Speaker 17: that I need to speak to a human being sometime,
Speaker 17: because it's not the sort of thing where someone who
Speaker 17: is a computer nerd can say I know all the
Speaker 17: answers and here are the five options. Well, if there's
Speaker 17: five options, that you're offering. The one thing that a
Speaker 17: nerd doesn't do, particularly when they're very good at communicating
Speaker 17: with technology or algorithms, is personal contact. One of the
Speaker 17: great problems in pizza shops, in particular coffee rounces would
Speaker 17: be another example is young people interesting in love have
Speaker 17: lost the art of eye contact. Now just imagine that
Speaker 17: when and I walked into a coffee alunce today and
Speaker 17: I said, Hillo, Maria, how are you? And she said, Barry,
Speaker 17: You're the only person who ever comes in and treats
Speaker 17: me by name. And people say to me continuously, Barry,
Speaker 17: why is it? Did you get good customer service? The
Speaker 17: first thing that I do, if I'm going to go
Speaker 17: back and have the relationship, no matter how tenuous or
Speaker 17: this diand it is, is to find out the name
Speaker 17: of the person, because the one thing that will register
Speaker 17: most of all is when you recognize them by name.
Speaker 17: Immediately they stand up cloud they're recognized. There's not this
Speaker 17: lack of eye contact. I always appreciate. At the end
Speaker 17: of the risking of the coffee, I pick up my
Speaker 17: empty cup, I pick up the little tray that's got
Speaker 17: the under the number, I take it back to the
Speaker 17: count and say thank you very much there. Well, there's
Speaker 17: no need for you to do that, absolutely right, there
Speaker 17: was no need for me to do it. But I
Speaker 17: am most grateful for the service you provided. And what
Speaker 17: effort did it take me to take that empty cup
Speaker 17: with that little sign that says seventy eight because I
Speaker 17: owned my table number and give it back to you.
Speaker 17: There are some simple things about recommendations, referrals, social contacts,
Speaker 17: but above all else, when it comes down to customer service,
Speaker 17: the thing that wins it every time is one word personal.
Speaker 6: Isn't that lovely? Yes, I had an incident the other day.
Speaker 6: I have a car that needs some repairs done to it,
Speaker 6: and I booked a company to come out and do
Speaker 6: a repair and they told me it was a one
Speaker 6: hour job and will be there on Thursday. Will book
Speaker 6: you in for Thursday. And I knew I was going
Speaker 6: to be home all day Thursday, so I didn't bother
Speaker 6: negotiating a time because I had no plans to leave
Speaker 6: my house for the whole day Thursday. By five thirty pm,
Speaker 6: they still hadn't arrived. I did ring them to say
Speaker 6: that I was going to be going out for dinner
Speaker 6: because I just assumed they'd be there in business hours
Speaker 6: and that it would all be over. So I did
Speaker 6: ring them at two o'clock and they said, oh, yes,
Speaker 6: we'll be there at four, and by five point thirty
Speaker 6: they still hadn't arrived. So I just left the house
Speaker 6: and went out for dinner. They rang me about fifteen
Speaker 6: minutes later and said, look, not going to get there today.
Speaker 6: I can be there at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm
Speaker 6: sorry about this, but I'll be there at seven o'clock
Speaker 6: tomorrow morning. And I thought, well, that works well for me.
Speaker 6: I'll be doing the overnight thing. I'll get home at six,
Speaker 6: I'll be up at seven. I can cope with that nicely.
Speaker 6: He seven o'clock came, no sign of him. I texted him.
Speaker 6: He replied at about seven twenty and said, yes, on
Speaker 6: my way. I'll be there at eight thirty. And he
Speaker 6: finally got there at nine and there was no sorry.
Speaker 6: I lte sorry about yesterday. He came in, did the job,
Speaker 6: did it quickly, did an excellent job. I can't fault
Speaker 6: the work that he did. But I had worked all
Speaker 6: through the night hosting this program. Got home at six am.
Speaker 6: He has said he was going to be there at seven,
Speaker 6: so I stayed up. I was still up at nine
Speaker 6: when he arrived and finally got to bed at ten.
Speaker 6: And even though the job he did was magnificent, there
Speaker 6: is no way in hell I would recommend that company
Speaker 6: to anyone.
Speaker 17: More particularly, you would not say that that was good value.
Speaker 17: One thing that people have got to recognize is and
Speaker 17: there's always this sensitively with the cost of living crisis
Speaker 17: that we've got, Well, everyone's looking for the specials. It
Speaker 17: was only yesterday the toll said they're going to have
Speaker 17: three hundred and seven products they had discounted to an
Speaker 17: average price of nineteen percent days of effective from today
Speaker 17: in Melbourne timing. Hold on, guys, that's all rubbish. All
Speaker 17: that we want really is we don't want one hundred
Speaker 17: and seven specials. We want you know, there's twenty four
Speaker 17: thousand products out there. I want control and access, so
Speaker 17: that if you gave me one promise that you keep
Speaker 17: doing in your advertising and what has made Walmart the
Speaker 17: biggest and most successful retail group in the world, don't
Speaker 17: be selective on what you offer. Just say that. When
Speaker 17: Walmart says Simon, when you're ready to buy, no matter
Speaker 17: what you want to buy, and asy Haliberut Walmart, you
Speaker 17: will get and here comes to quote every day lower prices.
Speaker 17: It means that with that seven day petrol cycle and
Speaker 17: you kind of buy the petrol on Wednesday because you're
Speaker 17: missed out getting cheap ass tuesdays discounted prices, and you're
Speaker 17: now paying seventeen terms of leave. The more you are
Speaker 17: aggrieved and upsets. And that's sort of what is the difference.
Speaker 17: I wanted everyday lower prices. And so what we've got
Speaker 17: recognized in customer services one price is consistently the fourth
Speaker 17: most important thing. And look, with the economic circumstances, it's
Speaker 17: probably migrated to about the third most important thing. But
Speaker 17: today value and this is what value was all about.
Speaker 17: Value was really built up on modules of time. If
Speaker 17: you say, and this is what happens all the time,
Speaker 17: Oh well yes, okay, so we'll get this and you
Speaker 17: put something in and you're get an electrician or a
Speaker 17: plumber and they say, look, we'll be there as soon
Speaker 17: as possible. Well, can I tell you right now if
Speaker 17: you've phoned a plumber at three o'clock in the morning
Speaker 17: because you're tought it's overflowing, and I say, yeah, we'll
Speaker 17: get there as soon as possible. No, that's not good enough.
Speaker 17: Be specific. Recognize that it's modules of time, and if
Speaker 17: you can't meet those times, so they you know, advise
Speaker 17: them in advance to let them make sometingency plans. But
Speaker 17: what we need to do is to take a better
Speaker 17: sense of what is value. And I've just written an
Speaker 17: article I get syndicated by forty nine trade and industry
Speaker 17: magazines around the world, and someone put to me, Barry,
Speaker 17: what is value? And I said, well, and this is
Speaker 17: the critical issue, and that you know, this is one
Speaker 17: time that you can look and say you are important
Speaker 17: in this equation. If you want to be valued, you've
Speaker 17: got to offer value. Think about that. It's not about price.
Speaker 17: It's not about saying, hold on, I'll be there at
Speaker 17: four o'clock and then five point thirty or seven o'clock
Speaker 17: next morning. What value is about is a peace of
Speaker 17: mind purchasing. When I makes the phone call and they
Speaker 17: say they're going to be there at five o'clock, they
Speaker 17: should be there every time. Because Macy's the big department
Speaker 17: store in America. They had and we all always hear
Speaker 17: the criticism about Tony Abbott, you know, with the three
Speaker 17: word policy, stop the boats one. It's easy to understand too,
Speaker 17: It's quantifiable and people could remember it. All that macy
Speaker 17: said is satisfaction guaranteed, period three words, compellingly, attractive. And
Speaker 17: that's the personal commitment that was committed and delegated so
Speaker 17: that everyone at the front line within Macy's had that
Speaker 17: authority to ensure that there was customer satisfaction guaranteed, even
Speaker 17: to the extent of replacing the products without referring it
Speaker 17: to a manager.
Speaker 6: Amazing, Carrier Card, It's been delightful chatting to you. I've
Speaker 6: kept you far too long. We are well overdue for
Speaker 6: a break. It's been marvelous chatting to you. I look forward, well,
Speaker 6: I don't look forward to the next time Tony's ill,
Speaker 6: but I look forward to the next time I happen
Speaker 6: to be on and we get to speak again. Barrier Carter,
Speaker 6: thank you. Let's have a chat to Rob in Melbourne
Speaker 6: high Rob. Yeah, good things. Thanks for hanging on.
Speaker 22: No, yeah, you're talking earlier about the apartments, complaining about
Speaker 22: the curry smell.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 22: I've had a similar interesting one where I lived in Queensland,
Speaker 22: in the suburb of Cleveland. I leave stones throw from
Speaker 22: an area called Raby Bay, and there was a marina
Speaker 22: and restaurants, and there were apartments above the restaurants. But
Speaker 22: in that case, it wasn't an smell. It was the noise.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 22: And then and it actually made the news, and it
Speaker 22: wasn't for the noise complaint it whoever built the apartments.
Speaker 22: Concrete started crumpling on where the floor met the window,
Speaker 22: so you can actually be shown on the news. You
Speaker 22: can actually put your hand in underneath and touch the
Speaker 22: window on the outside cot and then and then the
Speaker 22: same mob was contracted to attach a gantry into one
Speaker 22: of the bridges on the river.
Speaker 9: The door works.
Speaker 22: They've drilled straight into the pylon and straight into the
Speaker 22: still reinforcement in the concrete. So I don't ever know
Speaker 22: what happened to that, but yeah.
Speaker 6: Wow, what a shock of a story that is. That
Speaker 6: is awful. Thanks Rob, Wow. If anyone knows more, I'd
Speaker 6: love to hear the outcome of it. Appreciate the call. Rob,
Speaker 6: We've got sorry to cut you short. We've got to
Speaker 6: get to another break. That's what I took way too
Speaker 6: long with Barry Back in a sec Well, Gabe is
Speaker 6: in the newsroom ready to bring you up to date
Speaker 6: with everything that's going on around this fabulous country and
Speaker 6: indeed the globe on the other side. Back to your calls.
Speaker 6: We had a board full of calls before some of
Speaker 6: you had hung up, understandably so because it took us
Speaker 6: a while to get to the calls. Strike back to
Speaker 6: them after the news. If you want to ring.
Speaker 24: Back now, this is a stranger open eyes with Simon Owen's.
Speaker 1: Way. Last night, you couldn't come A fire is such
Speaker 1: a shape.
Speaker 2: I never thought we were soon.
Speaker 20: Worn't so good?
Speaker 5: I've had enough Another it wasn't mu China.
Speaker 3: Can come?
Speaker 5: We cannot play?
Speaker 1: Stay come to.
Speaker 6: An another great song from the playlist of Jay.
Speaker 23: If You leave Me?
Speaker 6: Can I come to Middle as anything? Wasn't it the
Speaker 6: sort of early eighties I would reckon?
Speaker 7: Let's look looking at that one. It is eighty four
Speaker 7: three Master one from twenty fifteen, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 7: the eighties.
Speaker 6: Late eighties, Yeah, late eighties, Okay, let's think eighties four
Speaker 6: year or no, yeah, maybe later? It was after live
Speaker 6: it Up, I think, wasn't I don't know. I'm talking
Speaker 6: out of my hat now. One double three six nine
Speaker 6: three is the number that you can call us on.
Speaker 6: Another number would be one double three eighty two if
Speaker 6: you're calling from Perth. But if you're in either of
Speaker 6: those numbers, you should get through them out of where
Speaker 6: you're calling from. And we'd love to take your calls. Caliphone,
Speaker 6: your ray is calling, get I Caliphoni your RAYE.
Speaker 25: Good evening, Simon and listeners. I only come on air
Speaker 25: your station maybe two or three times a year, but
Speaker 25: if I can give some constructive feedback, not criticism, but feedback,
Speaker 25: I'm sure other listeners tonight or in the morning feel
Speaker 25: similar to I do to wait, have to wait forty
Speaker 25: minutes that I have to get back on air. I
Speaker 25: think it would be more respectful to have a limit
Speaker 25: that you allow callers to speak, because it just gets
Speaker 25: out of hand and I just not only do I
Speaker 25: get hung up on by your previous presenter that's normally on.
Speaker 25: I don't think he likes my accent, but you know,
Speaker 25: it's just you know, giving everyone equal time and not
Speaker 25: some longer than others. And I'm sure that there are
Speaker 25: a lot of listeners out there that feel the same way.
Speaker 25: Now as far as Billy Joel goes.
Speaker 6: Well, just before we move on to Billy Joel, and
Speaker 6: don't worry, won't cut your short. We have a chat
Speaker 6: about Billy Joel. I'll just say, in the instance of tonight, though, California,
Speaker 6: so I'm just filling in for Tony. But Tony has
Speaker 6: that spot with Barry Urkhart, which is a commitment that
Speaker 6: is made for the program. So I'm not really in
Speaker 6: a position to just fling that and just go with calls,
Speaker 6: which is what I normally do. I normally just do
Speaker 6: calls after calls after calls. So in the instance of tonight, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's unfortunately you've had to hang on that long, But
Speaker 6: generally I'd say with me, the longest wait time would
Speaker 6: probably be about twenty twenty five minutes. And it all
Speaker 6: comes down to we've got ten lines, So if ten
Speaker 6: people all happen to ring through at the same time,
Speaker 6: the tenth person, even if they've rung one minute after
Speaker 6: the first person, they're going to have quite a long
Speaker 6: wait as opposed to the person who gets through first.
Speaker 6: So it's a bit of a gamble, and we do
Speaker 6: try and when we do see that there's a lot
Speaker 6: of calls, we do try and speed through them a
Speaker 6: little bit faster, but sometimes some have a lot to say,
Speaker 6: and others don't have much. But it look at a
Speaker 6: balancing act. And I'll be the first to say, ray,
Speaker 6: we don't always get it right. So I apologize that
Speaker 6: you've had to hang on so long tonight. But yeah,
Speaker 6: let's get on to Billy Joel.
Speaker 25: I refuse to out of principles, refuse to be on
Speaker 25: the internet. And I only have a dumb phone. I
Speaker 25: don't use a smartphone. I I just heard on the
Speaker 25: radio the other night that he has some sickness and
Speaker 25: he's not singing at the moment. So I was wondering
Speaker 25: if you could give us the later scoop on what's
Speaker 25: happening with Billy Joel.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he had a fall a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 6: on stage, but then there was then there was a
Speaker 6: diagnosis that followed that, and I think it was hydrocephalus
Speaker 6: that he was that he's suffering from normal pressure hydrocephalus.
Speaker 6: Here we go, he's announced that that's what he's suffering from.
Speaker 6: I don't exactly know what that is, but it says
Speaker 6: here that it can affect concentration, memory, and movement. So
Speaker 6: at the moment, he's had to cancel some concerts, so
Speaker 6: he hasn't stopped singing exactly, but he has had to
Speaker 6: cancel some shows whilst, you know, whilst he and his
Speaker 6: medical team look at what this effectively means for him.
Speaker 25: Okay, I know I've been told that there's at least
Speaker 25: twelve different types of dementia. Do you know if that's
Speaker 25: a type of dementia.
Speaker 6: I can't see dementia mentioned in the stories that we've
Speaker 6: got here that we're coming through at the moment. It
Speaker 6: is described as a brain disorder and it can affect
Speaker 6: brain related abilities, but I don't think it's related. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm not a medical person, but just from a quick glance,
Speaker 6: it doesn't look like it's specifically related to dementia. It's
Speaker 6: just it's something else that also affects the brain.
Speaker 25: Okay, because the other night it was advertised that here
Speaker 25: in Australia they know have a pill for dementia. And
Speaker 25: the catch twenty two is it only costs four hundred
Speaker 25: and seventy dollars per week, so you have to be
Speaker 25: quite wealthy to afford it. So that's always the catch
Speaker 25: twenty two with things current latest discoveries and whether it
Speaker 25: goes on PBS in a century or two, we don't
Speaker 25: know well exactly.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the government need to approve funding for that sort
Speaker 6: of thing to happen. But I hadn't heard, like there's
Speaker 6: no sort of cure for dementia. But any development is
Speaker 6: always a good development when they come up with something
Speaker 6: that can help prolong it, to prolong the effects or
Speaker 6: put off the effises. Well, I think what I'm trying
Speaker 6: to say, yeah, but it only prolongs.
Speaker 25: It only prolongs. But for a lot of people, three
Speaker 25: or four years is a long time they have their
Speaker 25: life prolonged. But I just wanted to share that to
Speaker 25: the listeners because I think communicating and talking is an addiction,
Speaker 25: just like mobile phones. Yes, and I've found that communications
Speaker 25: the greatest skill on the planet.
Speaker 6: Just what it is, it is, absolutely communication. It counters loneliness,
Speaker 6: which I think is a big, big problem in the
Speaker 6: world today. You can sit there and look at your
Speaker 6: phone and look at everybody else's social lives and stuff,
Speaker 6: but what you're seeing is a false representation of all
Speaker 6: of that side of their lives. I love what you've
Speaker 6: got their rate, no internet and no smartphone. I think
Speaker 6: you're probably in a much better off place than most of.
Speaker 25: Us, and my last thing I'll do is like I
Speaker 25: was referring to the listeners just a few minutes ago,
Speaker 25: that listening for me is the most important skill on
Speaker 25: the planet, and it's the hardest skill to truly listen.
Speaker 23: To each other.
Speaker 26: Yes, yes, so it was an NHS plane ahnesty, such
Speaker 26: a lonely word. That's what I need the most from you.
Speaker 6: It's a beautiful song of Billy Joels. If I don't
Speaker 6: play a lot of music, because again that makes that
Speaker 6: leaves people hanging on even longer to get on air.
Speaker 6: But if we do get a chance, if the calls
Speaker 6: dry up a bit later, California Ray, but that'll be
Speaker 6: first song we'll play for you, Okay.
Speaker 25: And makes listeners for putting up with me.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, it's a pleasure. It's lovely to chat
Speaker 6: to you. And again I apologize for the long wait.
Speaker 6: But now I'm going to move you on California A
Speaker 6: because IVE got other calls. I've got to get to
Speaker 6: love you, sir. Thank you, mate, Take care of have
Speaker 6: a lovely morning or evening. Still in perthy, Brian is
Speaker 6: in Richmond.
Speaker 11: Hi, Brian, Hi, Simon, I urge you one night talk
Speaker 11: about it. You like your hot chocolate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there was one hot chock. Gen. I don't bother
Speaker 6: with hot chocolate, but there was one that I got
Speaker 6: at a basketball stadium once that was magnificent.
Speaker 11: Well, I found another good place for fire down in Swan Straight, Richmond.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 11: You got to go inside and have it out of
Speaker 11: the cup, and it's absolutely magnificent. It's opened around to
Speaker 11: a lot of different coverage shops, but there's number one inside.
Speaker 11: The toll for them would absolutely spotless. And he opens
Speaker 11: at six am in the mornings.
Speaker 6: Oh. I could almost get to get one going home
Speaker 6: after the show.
Speaker 11: As you come down Swan Street, so last cookie shop
Speaker 11: on your right hand side before before Church Street.
Speaker 6: Okay, last on the left hand side before Church Street?
Speaker 11: Is it as you come out from the city, the right.
Speaker 6: Hand side, yeah, right handside.
Speaker 11: Come on, let me to join you where.
Speaker 6: It is that look. As much as that would be lovely,
Speaker 6: I do go straight home. I wouldn't be having a
Speaker 6: hot chocolate on my way home from work. And I'm
Speaker 6: not often in Richmond. But my daughter works in Richmond,
Speaker 6: so I'm giving a driving lesson. So if I'm dropping
Speaker 6: her off at work during a driving lesson, I will
Speaker 6: make a note of dropping in there. If you're recommending
Speaker 6: a good hot chocolate, I reckon it's worth a try.
Speaker 11: And their coffees, boy, I don't track coffee, but I
Speaker 11: took a lady there for coffee and she loved it
Speaker 11: that much. She pinched up but on the packet with
Speaker 11: some sort of particular coffee that they made. You finished
Speaker 11: up on the packet, took her home with her.
Speaker 6: Yeah, now I can understand how that happens. If you
Speaker 6: find one that you like, get onto it.
Speaker 11: And keep it coming up from the city the last
Speaker 11: to fish up on your idea and word and give
Speaker 11: them just let them know.
Speaker 23: What the copy was.
Speaker 11: So the hot chocolate I want to recommend, I want
Speaker 11: to hear what's the result? How what you thought of it?
Speaker 6: No worries? All right, if I make it there, I'll
Speaker 6: let you know. Get on your brain. Thanks thanks mate, cheers.
Speaker 6: Leo is on the road. Hey Leo, could I.
Speaker 13: I'm in mom Florenci at the moment. Yes, I've got
Speaker 13: to pick up soon and alpham to go to the airport.
Speaker 23: So I'm in the area.
Speaker 13: It's been.
Speaker 6: That's a good trip.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's it's been. I've been polling day back and forth,
Speaker 13: back and forth. So it's finally got to where I
Speaker 13: have to be. It takes a while, but anywhay, I'll
Speaker 13: get there. The best hot chocolatever had was actually in
Speaker 13: on a mountain resort in Italy about ten years ago.
Speaker 6: A mountain resort in Italy for the best hot chocolate ever.
Speaker 6: That sounds pretty good.
Speaker 18: Yeah.
Speaker 13: It was a machine that was heat, constantly heated, and
Speaker 13: constantly stirring, and it was unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Like the chocolate fountains exactly. Oh yes, and what they
Speaker 6: just splash a bit of milk in, a bit of
Speaker 6: warm milk in with the with the fountain of chocolate,
Speaker 6: and off you go. That sounds good.
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean we look.
Speaker 13: Australian food is great, but there's a lot of things
Speaker 13: that I think the Europeans do still a lot better.
Speaker 13: I mean, their tomatoes and most of their fresh fruit
Speaker 13: is fantastic, only I think because everything there is in
Speaker 13: season and nothing else. You can never get asparagus out
Speaker 13: of season, or tomatoes or apples out of season. You
Speaker 13: have to have them in season only. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 13: what I found when I was there last year. And
Speaker 13: like the tomatoes, their taste, look our tomatoes in Melbourne,
Speaker 13: for example, or Victoria are about ten percent the taste
Speaker 13: of theirs. The Queensland ones about twenty percent much better,
Speaker 13: but they have more sunshine. And but that's I still
Speaker 13: dream of that. They're tomatoes and the cheese. I've got
Speaker 13: some bree, just a standard which all president, which I
Speaker 13: find in any supermarket. Talking and I was staying put
Speaker 13: on bread and when I put into what my knees
Speaker 13: went to water and you get the same stuff here.
Speaker 13: But what they do they make it there, They then
Speaker 13: freeze it, put it on the ship and then three
Speaker 13: months later they defrosted, put the huge by on it,
Speaker 13: and they sell it three times a bride.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's just it's no good. You can't do that.
Speaker 23: That's just right, No in of the taste.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do love a nice bree. There's a triple
Speaker 6: cream bree that they sell at Aldi, which is nice
Speaker 6: and cheap, but it's actually I really enjoy it and
Speaker 6: the best thing ever to have with bree barbecue shapes. Really,
Speaker 6: I have no class whatsoever. Happy to admit that. Say,
Speaker 6: it's a very bogan sort of thing to do. You
Speaker 6: break out the wheel of breed cheese and you crack
Speaker 6: a bag of Barbie shapes and mix the two together
Speaker 6: and it's heavenly to me.
Speaker 13: I'll have to try it, definitely have to try it.
Speaker 13: I mean they look at something like a good cheese.
Speaker 13: But one thing though, our meat is better than the
Speaker 13: European meats.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I'm pretty happy with the steaks and stuff. I
Speaker 6: get here eight dollars for a steak from Woolworths and
Speaker 6: wrack a bit of lemon pepper on it and just
Speaker 6: chuck it in the frying pan. It's one of my
Speaker 6: favorite meals of all time.
Speaker 13: Yeah, same here.
Speaker 23: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 13: I mean I'm just a straight pepper and that. Or
Speaker 13: I've actually started using the air fryer to cook out
Speaker 13: my meat, especially the pork. It does make a difference.
Speaker 13: You have to remember that after you set it for
Speaker 13: about fifteen minutes twenty months or whatever is I think
Speaker 13: fifteen months, then you about halfway through you have to
Speaker 13: turn it. Yep, it comes out quite good.
Speaker 6: Okay. I tend to think that. So I would worry
Speaker 6: that all that air, because an air fryer circulates hot air,
Speaker 6: I would have thought that that would dry it out.
Speaker 17: It doesn't.
Speaker 13: It comes out nice in duty the way I do
Speaker 13: what I always put a layer of which I thing
Speaker 13: of what I think aluminum foil under it. Yes, so
Speaker 13: it doesn't get dirty, but I mean and I think
Speaker 13: that probably holds the And also do my sausages in
Speaker 13: there nowadays?
Speaker 6: Okay, I've not tried sausages in the air frier. I
Speaker 6: do dim simms in the air fry.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, yeah, you just I've done that before.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, literally chuck of in fifteen minutes and they're done.
Speaker 6: It's a two hundred degrees. It's done, easy done.
Speaker 26: Yeah.
Speaker 13: The best we call it sausages you can buy anywhere
Speaker 13: are the honey ones from me? The cars are wor
Speaker 13: worse Okay, yeah, yeah, they've got honey in them and
Speaker 13: they are by father best of river tasted.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, now that you've got me hungry, sorry,
Speaker 6: I'll let you go and I'll stand here and start
Speaker 6: for the next four hours before I go home. Thanks.
Speaker 6: Thanks for the call, mate, I appreciate it is Leo
Speaker 6: on the road. Jim, Maggie and Vern are all on hold,
Speaker 6: ready to go one double three six ninety three. We
Speaker 6: haven't really got a topic as such going, but whatever
Speaker 6: you want to chat about, feel free to ring in
Speaker 6: and we'll throw something else in later on back soon.
Speaker 6: Jim has called from west Footscray.
Speaker 9: Hi Jim, good morning, Biman day. Good morning to Tony
Speaker 9: if he's listening, hopefully is feeling better. And you said
Speaker 9: you'll be on Thursday. But also i'd like to say,
Speaker 9: because Jay won't be working on Thursday, I'd like to
Speaker 9: say happy birthday to Jay. I know how old is
Speaker 9: going to be. He's mentioned it on the radio before,
Speaker 9: but just in case he doesn't want to mention it again,
Speaker 9: I'll just say happy birthday to Jay again since he
Speaker 9: won't be working.
Speaker 6: Yeah, J's aka with turning forty seven. It's a he's
Speaker 6: very happy with that.
Speaker 9: Oh, very good. Anyway, do you remember, Simon, I told
Speaker 9: you many years ago taping rage was my hobby, hobby
Speaker 9: and I made many tapes and everything. Yes, well, well
Speaker 9: you're aware the rage comes to us from Sydney, are you.
Speaker 6: I've never actually stopped to think about it, but that
Speaker 6: would make sense.
Speaker 9: Yes, it comes to us from Sydney. Every public holiday
Speaker 9: they put retro music as well as current music, and
Speaker 9: that they have a section called Vault where they have
Speaker 9: Australian artists and bands and overseas, England and America with
Speaker 9: music from the vault before a lot of artists were known,
Speaker 9: and music that has never been heard before, and that
Speaker 9: they have the vault section but also have a countdown
Speaker 9: section as well. But years ago when I used to finish,
Speaker 9: I used to have the producers his name, And now
Speaker 9: there's a producer named Georgia that I got to make
Speaker 9: friends with that I used to ring in Sydney because
Speaker 9: I think she was a producer and a director. I
Speaker 9: don't know if they can still do her. They used
Speaker 9: to have a request line and I used to ring
Speaker 9: her up. And I found a video the other day
Speaker 9: with a DT that I had requested from me and
Speaker 9: Clara and it said requested by Jim and Clara on
Speaker 9: the screen from Melbourne Victoria westwards Gray and I found
Speaker 9: another one from the sleet and I just remembered I
Speaker 9: have more of them. I forgot all about it. I
Speaker 9: don't know if they still do that, but ever every
Speaker 9: weekend when whenever it's a public holiday, they put a
Speaker 9: lot of retro music and that simon, well.
Speaker 6: That's I don't watch rage, I must admit one. I'm
Speaker 6: not usually sort of well, I just don't watch Telly
Speaker 6: as a general I was going to say general rule,
Speaker 6: but that's wrong. I don't have a lot of opportunity
Speaker 6: to actually just sit and watch Tally. And I've always
Speaker 6: found rage most of the music is music I don't know,
Speaker 6: so I would love I would love to have a
Speaker 6: video clip type show like they used to have with
Speaker 6: MTV and there was the Vmax channel on Foxtel when
Speaker 6: Nona had Foxtail next door. I used to go in
Speaker 6: and watch that, yeah, where you know every song. I
Speaker 6: think a music TV channel where you knew all the music,
Speaker 6: where it was basically the top forty hits over the
Speaker 6: past fifty years. It'd be fantastic to have something like that.
Speaker 6: Rage is just a little bit too out there for me.
Speaker 9: Yeah, But Simon, like I said, every public holiday they
Speaker 9: always have a gigantic retro section, including Countdown with Molly Meldron,
Speaker 9: and they have all the songs you'ld know the every
Speaker 9: public holiday they make sure there's a gigantic section of Countdown.
Speaker 9: You'll definitely know whole heap of songs because as well
Speaker 9: as current. But they do it all the time. People
Speaker 9: that what range will tell you, and I had something
Speaker 9: else to tell you, but I forgot again.
Speaker 6: That's all right.
Speaker 9: Are you still going to do the songs later with
Speaker 9: English and other languages?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll throw that open when we run out of calls.
Speaker 6: I'll check it in as a topic a bit later on,
Speaker 6: possibly after four or maybe after two. We'll just see. No,
Speaker 6: we've got Rick Mill next, now, haven't we. Yeah, so
Speaker 6: we'll get to it at some point, I hope.
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you, Simon. If I'm awake, I'll ring back lovely.
Speaker 6: Good on your Jim. Thank you mate. Maggie's in Adelaide,
Speaker 6: Hi Maggie.
Speaker 28: Yeah, hi Simon. Oh just a quick A few things
Speaker 28: I think you know who might your affect explained your powers?
Speaker 28: You could describe as you've been a plag A plub?
Speaker 6: Yeah, put be in now, what exactly is a plub?
Speaker 6: I've heard people being called clubs before, but I've never
Speaker 6: quite understood it.
Speaker 28: Sort of common, you know, without I don't wish to
Speaker 28: put you down, dear Van. That's all right, that's okay, yeah,
Speaker 28: plip or for being you know, No, you don't your
Speaker 28: your I.
Speaker 6: See Jay's just brought it up on the screen. An
Speaker 6: ordinary person, especially one from the lower social classes. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's that's me.
Speaker 28: I'm not saying you know that, but I'm referring to
Speaker 28: your palace, yes, taking barbecue shapes with Bree and all
Speaker 28: that whatever else you might have see. But we'll leave
Speaker 28: that one I will learn, shall we going on to
Speaker 28: I could talk about hydro cephalitis and technology and then music.
Speaker 28: So which one give you? Earlier on you were talking
Speaker 28: about someone was talking about hydrocephalitis or something.
Speaker 29: Yeah, now my.
Speaker 28: Understanding, and us then to be corrected that it means
Speaker 28: water on the brain. And in a decade ago, if
Speaker 28: a baby was born with that, it was not diagnosed
Speaker 28: and they spent years in in special care. Like Menda,
Speaker 28: I believe peraps it nowadays could be preventable, But you
Speaker 28: know whether it can be come on later on in
Speaker 28: one's life somehow, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Well, we've just had a text from Marion who says,
Speaker 6: my husband just passed away with hydrocephalus. It is water
Speaker 6: on the brain. So you're right there, Maggie, it is
Speaker 6: water on the brain. In my husband's case, it stopped
Speaker 6: him walking. He did finally also have some dementia. He
Speaker 6: was eighty six. It's a terrible thing, first noticeable symptom
Speaker 6: is when you look like your feet are sticking to
Speaker 6: the floor when you walk. Thank you for that, Marian,
Speaker 6: Thank you for clarifying that and sharing your story with us. There.
Speaker 6: So yeah, there you go.
Speaker 28: The worst thing, though, is when you have a baby,
Speaker 28: well back decades ago, born with this condition because it
Speaker 28: could will and truly be preventable nowadays. But you know,
Speaker 28: back then they were I don't know how politely to
Speaker 28: put it, crippled somewhat years in and that sort of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 28: so I don't know. But the other one that I
Speaker 28: wanted to quickly move on to because you're talking about
Speaker 28: or quickly technology and then music. Now the advent of technology,
Speaker 28: Oh yeah, no, jobs at risk? Oh yes, yeah, now AI.
Speaker 28: Did I hear that you mentioned an outlet like KFC
Speaker 28: or someone else now using AI.
Speaker 6: A caller earlier said that Hungry Jacks are using AI
Speaker 6: at the drive through. So when you get the high welcome,
Speaker 6: hungry Jack's going to take your order, it's possibly AI. Now,
Speaker 6: I've not seen that anywhere, but a caller suggested that
Speaker 6: that was happening.
Speaker 28: Yeah, I believe that too. Now you're also music, in
Speaker 28: my view of the modern music, music of these days
Speaker 28: is not music, it's just noise, you know.
Speaker 6: Well, no, I disagree with that, Maggie. And the reason
Speaker 6: I say that is in every year in history, the
Speaker 6: ninety percent of music that comes out is probably pretty forgettable,
Speaker 6: and there's just there's a handful of songs and the
Speaker 6: stuff that just really stands out and goes down in
Speaker 6: history and remains very good. I've done sixty years of
Speaker 6: Top forty montages and in every year except one. There
Speaker 6: was a year around two thousand and two, two thousand
Speaker 6: and three where I just thought all the songs were
Speaker 6: pretty much rubbish. But every other year there's songs in
Speaker 6: the top forty charts that I like. So it's always
Speaker 6: slim pickings. So when we go back to Elvis and
Speaker 6: the Beatles and Guy Mitchell and all of that, it
Speaker 6: was they were the cream of the crop. But there
Speaker 6: was also a lot of stuff which was very forgettable
Speaker 6: that comes out every year in history. So yeah, and now, Maggie,
Speaker 6: I've got to fly, We've got to get to a break.
Speaker 6: But thank you for the callers. Always always lovely to chat.
Speaker 6: Vern Is inter Ralgan Hey n Well yeah, good, thanks,
Speaker 6: But well.
Speaker 20: A little bit of nostalgia, right, well you.
Speaker 18: By the boy.
Speaker 20: Christian Broody. He's very up to date with the politics.
Speaker 20: He should be a politician. I think he's pretty good
Speaker 20: at what he does. And yeah, the other man that
Speaker 20: says you don't give him a.
Speaker 18: Faygo, if I get half the spago, I'd be very happy.
Speaker 18: So anyway, this is.
Speaker 20: Something I like you to record. Only sixty three to
Speaker 20: sixty four there was a band called the ald Damos
Speaker 20: and they were on three dr Party Time on Saturday
Speaker 20: night and it hosted Philip.
Speaker 18: Brady and Keith.
Speaker 20: McGowan on Sunday.
Speaker 18: At six o'clock.
Speaker 19: And and.
Speaker 20: I've just got a look at my notes here for
Speaker 20: a minute, but I really like it in the band
Speaker 20: they went on the hotal His Battle of the Sounds
Speaker 20: and they got a standing ovation. They thought that they
Speaker 20: had it in the bag, but Doug Parkinson came in
Speaker 20: there with all his entourage and big equipment and dusted
Speaker 20: them off. That I'd really like to talk to. There's
Speaker 20: only two members in the Eldamos left. They've been playing
Speaker 20: for fifty three years. And oh, you would not believe
Speaker 20: the stories that he could tell you. But if you
Speaker 20: could listen to him sometime, I know some of them,
Speaker 20: but you wouldn't believe what that been has done and
Speaker 20: went through. But as far as Nostelgia goes, that's something
Speaker 20: to really be recognized by.
Speaker 6: Wonderf And I've not heard of the l Damos before.
Speaker 6: What's what's the spelling? Is it E L SPACE D A.
Speaker 27: M O S or y L E L D.
Speaker 7: S.
Speaker 20: But that was in the time of totally Battle of
Speaker 20: the Salesyeh, they called the Esquires Esquires.
Speaker 6: They changed the name, did they to the Esquires?
Speaker 20: Ye been going for fifty three years and they're still
Speaker 20: kicking along and they play beautiful music and hang on.
Speaker 6: But you said fifty three years, but you said they
Speaker 6: were around in sixty three and sixty four, so that
Speaker 6: would make it over sixty years of age.
Speaker 20: No, When they went on three D Hour with Party
Speaker 20: Time on Sunday night, it was with Philip Brady and
Speaker 20: Keith m'gowan. Now you know what happened after that. There
Speaker 20: was a church thing and Keith mc gowan didn't turn
Speaker 20: the switch off and these blokes were doing garage talk
Speaker 20: and it came across over the.
Speaker 17: Over the.
Speaker 20: The preacher's thing, and they got the bullet from that right.
Speaker 6: Okay, I didn't know that Phil ever worked at three
Speaker 6: t R. I knew Keith did, but yeah, I didn't
Speaker 6: know I was there. Oh yes, maybe he was a
Speaker 6: guest or something on the show.
Speaker 20: Well I didn't pick the switch. And they were talking
Speaker 20: garroge talk, you know, amongst blokes, and they come across,
Speaker 20: they come across on the church thing.
Speaker 6: Always risky. Yes, yes, there you go with an interesting
Speaker 6: little history lesson there, Vern. I'd never heard of the
Speaker 6: old Omers who became the Esquires. That's a great bit
Speaker 6: of history. So thank you for the call, Vern. That's
Speaker 6: interesting to hear. Larz is in Perth, lads, Simon, Yes,
Speaker 6: there you go mate, Yeah, good things.
Speaker 30: Hey, I'm going to talk about shapes. Ant's shapes barbecue. Okay, now,
Speaker 30: now you notice on the packet that says oven bakes,
Speaker 30: not fried. They used to be fried, that's right. And
Speaker 30: they changed their recipes some years ago. And what I'd
Speaker 30: noticed was was less of the the red the red
Speaker 30: spice on there, or which.
Speaker 6: It was, which contains all the flavor.
Speaker 30: Yes, yes, so I was disappointed when they changed that.
Speaker 30: And tell you what, aren't shapes. I had them since
Speaker 30: I was a kid th BUBC shapes are fantastic eight
Speaker 30: And I was very disappointed because there was less of
Speaker 30: the red stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so are you talking about when they went through
Speaker 6: the stage when they redid them all, which is probably
Speaker 6: about ten years ago now, and just decided to change
Speaker 6: the constitution of them, the way the way they're even made,
Speaker 6: And yeah, they were disgusting. And after about six months
Speaker 6: they brought back original shapes.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 30: Well, well there's less of the topping on top, you
Speaker 30: know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've always I've always wondered about that because the
Speaker 6: companies that do all these things, they deny that they
Speaker 6: change that stuff. And the theory is that we just
Speaker 6: as you get older, your taste buds change and we
Speaker 6: just don't taste it as much as we used to,
Speaker 6: it is what they would claim.
Speaker 30: Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, I was quite disappointed. So
Speaker 30: I rang now on the box. I've got a number there.
Speaker 30: You ring up and complain. Yeah, rang up and complained
Speaker 30: and said there's not enough of the red stuff on
Speaker 30: top of the top of the of the shapes. And
Speaker 30: I said, oh, no, I will send you out, you know,
Speaker 30: a few boxes of the shapes. So no, I don't
Speaker 30: want you a few boxes of the shapes. I want
Speaker 30: the red stuff. Guess what they Guess what they sent me.
Speaker 6: They didn't send you a bottle of the red stuff?
Speaker 6: Did they?
Speaker 31: Yeah?
Speaker 6: How cool is that?
Speaker 25: Oh?
Speaker 6: How marvelous I was?
Speaker 30: I said, I want the red stuff, and they sent
Speaker 30: me a container full of the red stuff.
Speaker 6: You know, if there's a thought, you know, if they
Speaker 6: actually just marketed that, if you could in the herbs
Speaker 6: and Spices section, you know, the Master Food's Herbs and
Speaker 6: Spices little bottles, if they had one that just said
Speaker 6: barbecue shape flavor. You can put it on anything. It
Speaker 6: would be good on a steak or it was.
Speaker 30: So I had my shape. So I just sprinkled over
Speaker 30: the top of the shapes and then I thought I
Speaker 30: was happy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 30: I send a message to them, you know, so you
Speaker 30: know they're not too bad these days.
Speaker 23: But but yeah, but they were great.
Speaker 30: They they took that on board and they said, do
Speaker 30: you want a carton of shapes? And I said, said, no,
Speaker 30: I just want the red stuff.
Speaker 6: And they sent it to you. That is wonderful. You know,
Speaker 6: I reckon if they excuse me, if they just announced
Speaker 6: you know, as of as of July one, shapes will
Speaker 6: now contain fifty percent more flavor, as in another fifty
Speaker 6: percent of the red stuff on top of what was
Speaker 6: already there. And they charged another dollar for the box.
Speaker 6: I reckon. You'd you'd do it, wouldn't you?
Speaker 30: Well you think they add a little sashet in there
Speaker 30: with a little bit of extra red stuff.
Speaker 6: For me like Samdboy used to do Sadboy for a
Speaker 6: short while, did that? Remember that that Sadboy Sultan vinegar

Speaker 6: Yet Rick Milne joins us to talk antiques and collectibles
Speaker 6: on Australia Oven. I good morning, Rick.
Speaker 16: I wonder who it was that sang that little ditty.
Speaker 6: I think now I might be right, or I could
Speaker 6: be wrong. But the person who played Oscar the Grouch,
Speaker 6: I think, also played Big Bird and it was Carol somebody.
Speaker 6: He had a female name of Carol.
Speaker 16: Well, it's very typical in the US and it's not
Speaker 16: an unusual name.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I might I may be wrong, but a Jay
Speaker 6: just google for me who voiced Oscar the Grouch.
Speaker 16: Somebody will know, and they don't know. They'll look it
Speaker 16: up on the Internet and then they'll tell us. They'll
Speaker 16: be instant experts will be able, somebody will know. You
Speaker 16: think it was that one person doing both?
Speaker 6: It may be and Oscar, I think so. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 6: Here we go, voiced most times by Carol Spinney, and
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure that Carol Spinney was also Big Bird.
Speaker 6: Don't I know the important things in life? You do?
Speaker 15: You do?
Speaker 16: Indeed, and this is, this is this is one of them.
Speaker 16: You know, You've taught me something. Yeah, I've now learned
Speaker 16: something that I wasn't aware of previously, and I have
Speaker 16: to thank you for that.
Speaker 6: No, there we go, and Jay's now looking at a
Speaker 6: website mup at fandom and there's a shot of Big
Speaker 6: Bird and Oscar the Grouch appearing together on screen and
Speaker 6: interacting with each other. So Carol, he would no, But
Speaker 6: everyone in that Jim Henson workshop were just geniuses. Did
Speaker 6: you did you see the documentary on Jim that came
Speaker 6: out a year or so ago?
Speaker 20: No?
Speaker 9: I did not.
Speaker 6: It's on one of the streaming services. I don't even
Speaker 6: remember which one, but I found it to be really inspirational.
Speaker 6: Jim Henson was quite the genius.
Speaker 16: Yes, well, I do remember that. There was a little
Speaker 16: fellow called Farley and he said, and he sang this
Speaker 16: little song everybody makes mistakes. In other words, don't be
Speaker 16: afraid to make a bit of a boo boo if
Speaker 16: you're a wrong person. Not the end of the world,
Speaker 16: you know, and finally finally sang everybody makes mistakes. But
Speaker 16: I actually had some very famous people who I can remember.
Speaker 16: There was one he's not a blues man. His name
Speaker 16: was bb King. Oh yes, and he did the alphabet.
Speaker 16: He sang the alphabet what.
Speaker 6: On Sesame Street or just aren't you yeah, yep.
Speaker 16: On some street And he actually sang the alphabet, you know,
Speaker 16: like as for apple, and B is for you know, yeah, barn,
Speaker 16: and C is for cap and so forth, and he's
Speaker 16: saying the whole thing. It was very very They did
Speaker 16: a lot of things like that where they used actually
Speaker 16: used a lot of quite famous people at the time
Speaker 16: to do.
Speaker 36: It.
Speaker 16: Was it was a groundbreaking and they all.
Speaker 6: Did it because it was an honor to be asked.
Speaker 23: That's right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So there's wonderful stuff. One of my favorite clips
Speaker 6: on Sesame Street was a blooper. It was Almo talking
Speaker 6: with Robin Williams, and Robin Williams is just holding a stick,
Speaker 6: and Almo says, what's the stick for, mister Williams. And
Speaker 6: Robin launches into a bit of a routine for like
Speaker 6: forty seconds or so, saying, well, it can be a
Speaker 6: hockey stick, it could be a microphone. And he's doing
Speaker 6: all these different things with a stick. And then he
Speaker 6: walks over to Welmo and says, right, and Elmo, I'm
Speaker 6: going to give this stick to you, and he hands
Speaker 6: the stick to Elmo and Almo says thank you, mister
Speaker 6: Robins instead of mister Williams. So there's this awkward silence,
Speaker 6: and then then Robin just grabs the stick and says
Speaker 6: I'm taking the stick back Almo and storms out, and
Speaker 6: Almo just dies of embarrassment. It was a blooper, but
Speaker 6: it was very fun.
Speaker 16: Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now, speaking of Sysame Street, No, it's just a complete
Speaker 6: Nutter coincidence. But I was at the trash and Treasure
Speaker 6: market the other Sunday week ago and I managed to
Speaker 6: pick up for three dollars a mister snuffle up agus
Speaker 6: stuffed toy doll.
Speaker 16: Can you believe?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 16: I spoke about we were talking about I was talking
Speaker 16: about with Mark today about and we mentioned we mentioned
Speaker 16: the Farley thing, and I said, do you remember do
Speaker 16: you remember mister snuffle Up again. That's the first time
Speaker 16: I've mentioned it, I would say, in twenty years, and
Speaker 16: you mentioned it mentioned a few years later exactly.
Speaker 6: That stuff happens.
Speaker 16: Hilarious.
Speaker 6: That stuff happens to me all the time.
Speaker 16: It's not amazing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I've got a mister snuffle Up against just
Speaker 6: a small stuff toy. And I couldn't have been more
Speaker 6: excited when I saw it, and the lady handed I've
Speaker 6: handed over a five dollar note and I felt really
Speaker 6: embarrassed taking the change because I would have paid like
Speaker 6: fifty bucks for that thing. Yeah, because you know, sometimes
Speaker 6: these things just mean something to people, so they too.
Speaker 16: And I really liked Mister snuffle Up because I reckon
Speaker 16: he was he was. I just I just at the time,
Speaker 16: it was really a it was kind of a show
Speaker 16: almost good enough for adults, you know, in a lot
Speaker 16: of ways, and people felt good about letting their children
Speaker 16: watch it because there was education. It was a good
Speaker 16: it just it had good thing, just it exuded good
Speaker 16: things for young people. It was very positive, very clove
Speaker 16: and I really liked him, mister snufflecause he's my favorite.
Speaker 6: Well, I also have and I think I've mentioned to
Speaker 6: you that I've got these before, but i've got from
Speaker 6: the nineteen seventies in their original boxes. You know, the
Speaker 6: boxes have been opened, but I've got the boxes as well.
Speaker 6: But I've got a Grover puppet and a Bert puppet
Speaker 6: and an Ernie puppet from the nineteen seventies. Burt and
Speaker 6: Ernie have the plastic heads and when you put your
Speaker 6: hand in there, it's like it's going to cut your
Speaker 6: hand to ribbons on the sharp edges of the plastic.
Speaker 6: And when you try and open and close their mouths,
Speaker 6: they're barely able to move because they're so solid. So
Speaker 6: they're lousy in terms of actually being useful as puppets,
Speaker 6: but just from the time, something very special.
Speaker 16: I think, Yeah, Burton Ernie were great. They were hilarious
Speaker 16: when you think about it, they were pretty funny. Supposed
Speaker 16: to be shed.
Speaker 6: There was a great schedch. Bert walks into the room
Speaker 6: and Ernie's there it he's got a banana in his ear.
Speaker 6: It's just sticking out of his ear is half a banana,
Speaker 6: and Bert comes in and says, Ernie, why do you
Speaker 6: have a banana in your ear? And Ernie says, what's that, Burt, Ernie?
Speaker 6: You have a banana in here. I can't hear you. Burt, Ernie,
Speaker 6: you have a banana in here? Sorry, Bert, I can't
Speaker 6: hear you. I've got a banana in my ear. It's
Speaker 6: just stupid, but just so wonderful.
Speaker 23: Great.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and that was as I said it was, it's
Speaker 16: kind of I know, it was aimed at kind of
Speaker 16: preschool children pretty much about gee I too. What there
Speaker 16: was some there was some very very hilarious things that
Speaker 16: happened on that was That's a beauty.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's very I think that was one of the
Speaker 6: first shows where they really understood that you can have
Speaker 6: adult humor in kids TV shows because they were also
Speaker 6: Kermit the Frog Wonderful In Sesame Street. Kermit played a
Speaker 6: reporter and reported from fairy Tales. So there was Kermit
Speaker 6: the Frog live on scene of Rapunzel letting her hair
Speaker 6: down so the Prince can climb up the tower and
Speaker 6: rescue her. And so Kermit's there saying, oh, here comes
Speaker 6: here comes the prince now, and the Prince comes in
Speaker 6: and there's wonderful humor built into this little sketch that
Speaker 6: adults will get. But the kids are seeing a frog
Speaker 6: reporting on, you know, a guy coming to save Rapunzel.
Speaker 6: And in the end the prince is yelling out, Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Speaker 6: let down your hair, and she's that, let down your hair,
Speaker 6: and so she takes the wig off and all of
Speaker 6: the hair falls to the ground. So can't be safe,
Speaker 6: but just just funny little sketches.
Speaker 16: It was just And of course when you think about it,
Speaker 16: children they can understand that humor, I mean as well
Speaker 16: as adults can. That was the beauty of it. I
Speaker 16: supposed to some degree with bit like that, with with
Speaker 16: there or Summer's thing, wasn't it in the early days.
Speaker 6: Yes, true, Yeah, the two kids.
Speaker 16: Really got the hang of it, and then all of
Speaker 16: a sudden it went mainstream, so there we go, and yeah,
Speaker 16: but that was that was one of the longest running it.
Speaker 6: It's not on that, no, No, Sesame streets still going. Yes,
Speaker 6: it's still going. They've got they've added a few new characters,
Speaker 6: and of course you know there's there's still one or
Speaker 6: two of the originals are there. I think Maria is
Speaker 6: still there, and yeah it's on it's on the ABC
Speaker 6: Kids channel now and and it's that's right, and YouTube
Speaker 6: like you just yeah, there's just thousands of clips on YouTube.
Speaker 6: But they have modern stars coming, like in the old
Speaker 6: days that Stevie Wonder made appearances and and what's his
Speaker 6: name saying if you call out my name, my name,
Speaker 6: I'll come running. James Taylor, James James Taylor used to
Speaker 6: have people like that, but now they've got they have
Speaker 6: more modern people. Your Lady Gargas and that you turn
Speaker 6: up for it today. Anyway, we should we should take

Speaker 6: Once, yes, another one.
Speaker 16: They had variety of I think they always donated their services.

Speaker 37: Mean and Rick Milne, how are you?
Speaker 16: How are we going well David, how can we.
Speaker 38: Help Linda Ronstan sounds like you not donating your services
Speaker 38: to three W.
Speaker 23: Yeah she was. She was on that show.
Speaker 16: It was a great show.
Speaker 38: I might say, yeah, Systeme Street. My kids grew up
Speaker 38: and I think we grew up.
Speaker 37: That was good shot.
Speaker 38: I have a question for you, Mickey Mouse. It's not
Speaker 38: like Sesame Street. You're talking about Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 38: He's a really strange question. I was wondering if you
Speaker 38: could help.
Speaker 23: We have one set of.
Speaker 38: Cutrey of Mickey Mouse cutory. It's a small night a
Speaker 38: small fork and a small spoon and only and it's
Speaker 38: got sort of etching and engraving the same set of
Speaker 38: Mickey Mouse and then graining is liking black and whenever
Speaker 38: the grand kids come, they fight other who's going to
Speaker 38: get it? And we have not been able to find anywhere,
Speaker 38: including in disney Land, including on the internet, anything like it.
Speaker 38: A slot we've had, I don't know so tens of years.
Speaker 38: Have you ever heard of anything like that or do
Speaker 38: you know we condest something like that?
Speaker 16: Do you have any of any pieces of it at
Speaker 16: the moment.
Speaker 38: Yes, I'm at work, so I'd have to get my
Speaker 38: wife to take a picture and send.
Speaker 16: It to all right, and to do that, and I'll
Speaker 16: give you a phone number or an email address if
Speaker 16: you would would prefer that. It's a bit of a
Speaker 16: tricky one, but I can give it to you. But
Speaker 16: maybe through the phone in the first instance might be
Speaker 16: the easiest way. I'd say, David, do.
Speaker 38: You an do you have an iPhone?
Speaker 17: Or do you have WhatsApp?
Speaker 15: Or do you have messages?
Speaker 16: Yes, yeah, you can do that, do all of that,
Speaker 16: and I'll give you the details. So I'll write this
Speaker 16: down zero four one eight three three nine zero four
Speaker 16: zero three three nine three three nine one zero three. Yeah,
Speaker 16: and all you need to do is put the six
Speaker 16: one in front.
Speaker 23: Yeah, that's what you know, and take up the zero of.
Speaker 16: Course, leave the zero off and just the sixth one
Speaker 16: that'll come to me, right.
Speaker 38: And send it after ten o'clock tomm one of your time.
Speaker 16: That's great, all right, David, that's wonderful.
Speaker 6: Okay, excellent. I've always wondered, Rick, because there is so
Speaker 6: much paraphernalia that has been made with Mickey Mouse on
Speaker 6: it being Disney's biggest character, is there a point where
Speaker 6: Mickey Mouse saturation means that the majority of it's just
Speaker 6: not worth anything, and it's there's only modern thing.
Speaker 16: The modern things, i'd say, generally speak years. But if
Speaker 16: you're talking about the earlier times, they did example a
Speaker 16: child's tea set made of tin, a tin, little tiny
Speaker 16: child's tea set with Mickey Mouse on it. That was
Speaker 16: a very early version of Mickey Mouse. And he looked
Speaker 16: sort of ratty. He looked like a rat. He did
Speaker 16: in the early time. He had a tail, just like
Speaker 16: a rat. And he became much more cuddly later on,
Speaker 16: but the earlier versions of him, he was not exactly
Speaker 16: a cute little feller, but he was on I've seen
Speaker 16: it on a on a child's tea set and it
Speaker 16: was an original box and we had it in an
Speaker 16: early auction and it brought a lot of money. It
Speaker 16: was a big seller, very big because it was such
Speaker 16: an early item. Incidentally, if you ever find they also
Speaker 16: did some plates and things with Mickey and various other people.
Speaker 16: And if you ever find a Disney for example, a
Speaker 16: Disney plate and you turn it over and it says
Speaker 16: on the other side copyright Walter Disney, You've got yourself
Speaker 16: a fortune. Because he was Walter for about a year.
Speaker 6: Okay, so yeah, Walter for a year, and then Walton.
Speaker 16: Then he became Walter and but for the first maybe
Speaker 16: you're not even a year. But for a very short
Speaker 16: time when he started out he was known as Walter.
Speaker 6: That interesting.
Speaker 16: I actually have seen somebody who had a plate like
Speaker 16: a child's, you know, when there's sort of high edge
Speaker 16: you're add it like a little child's plate. And it
Speaker 16: had been broken in half and stapled very ugly staples
Speaker 16: through it. But it was Walter Disney, and it sold
Speaker 16: for seven hundred. That was in the most dreadful condition.
Speaker 16: But it was Walter Disney, and it sold for seven hundred.
Speaker 6: Fabulous.
Speaker 16: How about that? Good snows how much one in fine
Speaker 16: condition he would sell for. But they're very rare, naturally
Speaker 16: enough lovely.
Speaker 6: All right, good on you, David, Thank you for the call.
Speaker 6: Is in Minneapoli, and.
Speaker 18: Hello Rick.
Speaker 27: Day.
Speaker 31: I sent you a picture of my vintage plus Cyan
Speaker 31: Ann cats from Lady in the Tramp that I got
Speaker 31: from America.
Speaker 6: Ah Mm, when did you send that through? Leanne?
Speaker 31: I just send it through to Rick just now. Yeah,
Speaker 31: And their tails a lot together, and one's got sigh
Speaker 31: on his collar and the other one's got an.
Speaker 18: America I see.
Speaker 16: Them, I said them too little. Yeah, I've got it
Speaker 16: two little lot together. Yeah, and can you tell me
Speaker 16: how we like? What are they? What are they exactly?
Speaker 31: The Disney branded the cats from Laddy in the Tramp.
Speaker 16: Oh, of course, of course, Lady in the Tramp nifty.
Speaker 6: So for those of us who can't see it, though,
Speaker 6: they were they like little statuettes or is it printed
Speaker 6: on a plate toy?
Speaker 31: No, they're plus plush toys. Okay, yeah, plush versions of
Speaker 31: the vintage, like from the original Lady in the Tramp
Speaker 31: the cat the way they were there. They've changed the
Speaker 31: style of them in them more recent ones.
Speaker 16: Send them on a Simon the thread, but it was
Speaker 16: worth you've sent them to me, but you could send them.
Speaker 16: I could send them on to Simon as far as
Speaker 16: that goes.
Speaker 31: Yeah, why do we do that because I have to
Speaker 31: send an email for pictures?
Speaker 17: Now.
Speaker 16: I think they're pretty nifty. I like them.
Speaker 6: What are they from? Leanne?
Speaker 11: Well, the vintage, I don't know.
Speaker 31: They could be from the sixty seventy. I think probably
Speaker 31: the seventies.
Speaker 16: I'd say the seventies. They look they look at but
Speaker 16: they're still a little pair of them. I reckon they're
Speaker 16: probably worth about i'd say fifty to sixty the pair answer.
Speaker 16: That's where i'd see them, and I'll send them on
Speaker 16: to your sermon.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 27: Yeah, please don't gorgeous, all right, they're not.
Speaker 31: They're going to stay with me till death. Do they
Speaker 31: do for you?
Speaker 16: And I don't blame you a bit?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's the key to it. Yes, for people
Speaker 6: who are coming and awing about calling one double three
Speaker 6: six nine three or one double three eight to eighty two,
Speaker 6: it's not you. You're not looking to sell these things necessarily,
Speaker 6: it's just you might have them. Yeah, just share it
Speaker 6: with a share the joy that you get out of
Speaker 6: these wonderful little pieces of your life. Louise in Adelaide, Hi, Louis,

Speaker 6: if you're looking to sell such things. And later on
Speaker 6: we'll also find out what Rick's looking for, because Rick

Speaker 6: I need that, So we'll find out all of that soon. Rick.
Speaker 6: Do you want to feel old?
Speaker 25: I do.
Speaker 6: I just got I get little Facebook notifications and things,
Speaker 6: so I checked stuff during the break. Sally Boyden has
Speaker 6: posted photos of her sixtieth birthday party.
Speaker 16: Oh play.
Speaker 6: In my lifetime. She was the littlest Australian Sally Boyden.
Speaker 6: I remember a child star on Young Talent Time, and
Speaker 6: she's posted photos.
Speaker 16: Of image by the way through the mail, I might
Speaker 16: say of Leanne's to docs, okay, I will yeah, I
Speaker 16: sent she sent them away and I sent them through
Speaker 16: to you. Yeah, that was another amazing I think her
Speaker 16: dad was a big car man. Wasn't his car a seller?
Speaker 36: Oh?
Speaker 40: Was he?
Speaker 6: I actually don't know her history.
Speaker 16: I must think it was Brad Boyden Motors. I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 6: Is that right?
Speaker 16: Everybody will know.
Speaker 6: Well, if anyone's got a car with a Brad Boyden
Speaker 6: sticker on it, that's probably worth more than the car.
Speaker 16: He's sixty years old, isn't that something? Little Sally?
Speaker 6: Yeah, happy birthday, Sally. I would never normally give a
Speaker 6: lady's age, but she posted it online saying thank you
Speaker 6: for my sixtieth birthday. So I figured out. Today Helen
Speaker 6: is in Safety Beach. Hi, Helen.
Speaker 41: Good evening, gentlemen. I could bring up every week with
Speaker 41: what he might house.
Speaker 6: Oh you should go on.
Speaker 16: You're very welcome to Helen.
Speaker 38: I'm just mean to tell you that I have three children,
Speaker 38: fifty two, fifty four and fifty seven.
Speaker 26: That's their ages.
Speaker 41: And I have three the original romp in mugs. Yes,
Speaker 41: they've all got one. I can't pick one up and
Speaker 41: show you because I looked at the buffet and they
Speaker 41: have disappeared, so they'll be up in there there, yes,
Speaker 41: but I don't mind.
Speaker 20: They're in all in perfect conditions.
Speaker 16: So you reckon they've come along and save any of them?
Speaker 25: Do you?
Speaker 16: The kids?
Speaker 41: Oh, no doubt about it. Yes, which is fine because
Speaker 41: I know that they treasure all these bits and pieces. Yes,
Speaker 41: it was the original like when first started. That's when
Speaker 41: I bought them on a mug.
Speaker 6: Do you remember where you bought them from? Helen? Oh
Speaker 6: my goodness, Like would it have been a kmart or
Speaker 6: anything like that.
Speaker 41: Or honestly, I would have no idea.
Speaker 16: Now I'd be guessing it'll be right, I'd be guessing
Speaker 16: that be about right. Can you tell me what you
Speaker 16: paid if you got any idea how much they got
Speaker 16: in the first place?
Speaker 29: No, I can't tell you any of that.
Speaker 41: It's uh no, Well I'm going on eighties and and
Speaker 41: GiB Me fifty said no, No, I honestly I have
Speaker 41: no idea, but it is that it is the original
Speaker 41: rumper room mug. That they used to have their milk
Speaker 41: out of.
Speaker 6: I'm wonderful, yes, because that was part of rumper room,
Speaker 6: was when they'd sit and have their drink of milk
Speaker 6: and stuff.
Speaker 11: That's right, that's right to sit there with the with
Speaker 11: the milk.
Speaker 23: In the market.
Speaker 41: They're still in perfect condition.
Speaker 6: And then and then you'd stand up, put a basket
Speaker 6: on your head and walk around trying to practice having
Speaker 6: good posture.
Speaker 38: A great show show for the kids.
Speaker 6: Really well with mister Doobie.
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's right. You you made me feel old again, Helen.
Speaker 16: About fifteen, maybe twenty each, somewhere like that, around about
Speaker 16: twenty fifty fifteen to twenty each. Yeah right, that's good
Speaker 16: fun then.
Speaker 41: And the only other thing I've well, now I've got
Speaker 41: pass but this particularly, you've reminded me of.
Speaker 14: Fifte My Street.
Speaker 41: I've got a very big, big bird.
Speaker 42: He'd be about a meter.
Speaker 41: And a half big.
Speaker 6: Oh wow.
Speaker 41: And when I bought it when my first lot of
Speaker 41: grandchildren were bought, and the twins are twenty six now,
Speaker 41: no twenty seven, just turned twenty seven, twin girls, and
Speaker 41: I bought him, and he's still sitting on a chair
Speaker 41: at my house. So he's been sitting there looking at
Speaker 41: seven grandchildren and they've all loved him, and he's still
Speaker 41: sitting there as very brand news, how.
Speaker 6: Lovely From the late nineties, it would have been yeah,
Speaker 6: it would have been.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it would have been Yeah. That's going to be
Speaker 16: worth a bit too. I'd think fifty fifty sixty dollars
Speaker 16: perhaps somewhere like that. Hen's if you've got some good
Speaker 16: things there for your for your brandy. So it's a
Speaker 16: very nice thing to do.
Speaker 41: You could spend hours in my house. The kids keeps saying, Mum,
Speaker 41: you know, get rid of I can't.
Speaker 32: Get rid of it.
Speaker 16: No, you bet, and let them let them enjoy, Let
Speaker 16: them enjoy what you've got.
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, good, good on your helen. Okay, it's a
Speaker 6: lovely call. Thank you.
Speaker 16: It was a good fun.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And it's it's a hard thing. Also, isn't it putting
Speaker 6: a price on some of these things, Rick, Because like
Speaker 6: as I say, I picked up the mister snuffle up
Speaker 6: agus for three dollars, I would have paid fifty So
Speaker 6: that's that's right. So if that same thing was on
Speaker 6: eBay and there were people like me bidding, that just
Speaker 6: drives the price up. But if if only one person
Speaker 6: happens to see the listing. You can pick up a bargain,
Speaker 6: you can, but.
Speaker 16: I hope you don't. I hope the person I hope
Speaker 16: the person's ordered to you for three dollars is not listening. No, exactly,
Speaker 16: think about that, Son, Yes.
Speaker 6: That's true. It chased me down for the rest of
Speaker 6: the bunny. Now, Rick, we what we might do is
Speaker 6: take another break here and then we'll come back and
Speaker 6: have a look at the things that you've found this week.
Speaker 6: So one double three six nine three or one double
Speaker 6: three eight eighty two. If you want to ring and
Speaker 6: have a chat to Rick, feel free to do so.
Speaker 6: We'll get you on nice and quick. But after the
Speaker 6: break we'll have a look at the things that Rick's found.
Speaker 4: Ernie, Hey, ern Oh, hi, Bert Yeah, Ernie Yeah. Do
Speaker 4: you know that you have a banana in your ear?
Speaker 7: What was that?
Speaker 4: Bert? I said, you have a banana in your ear?
Speaker 2: Ernie.
Speaker 4: Bananas a food there to eat, not to put in
Speaker 4: your ear.
Speaker 15: Ernie.
Speaker 6: What did you say, Bert?
Speaker 43: Will you just take that banana out of your ear?
Speaker 21: I'm sorry you let to speak a little louder, Bert,
Speaker 21: I can't here.
Speaker 6: You I have a banana in my ear, there is
Speaker 6: that that sketch that I mentioned earlier. Rick, there, it
Speaker 6: is classic, wonderful stuff, such such simple humor. Now, Rick
Speaker 6: Milne is here one double three six nine three one
Speaker 6: double three eight eighty two if you want to give
Speaker 6: us a call. But what have you found this week? Rick?
Speaker 16: Brittles guitar in the original with the original box, A
Speaker 16: nice little plastic one for about five hundred dollars, A
Speaker 16: very nice bit, Benny Brown, that's chocolate tin had laid
Speaker 16: company as a matter of fact, Betty, But I think
Speaker 16: it's a beauty with a cocky on the front. I
Speaker 16: reckon it's a little classic. It's quite a large tin.
Speaker 16: Must have been a lot of chocolate center, That's all
Speaker 16: I can say.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 16: And then one of my very favorites. Were you a
Speaker 16: PiZZ Did you ever get a pez one of those
Speaker 16: little pezz? You remember them?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 6: I had. I would have had a Mickey Mouse one
Speaker 6: at some point, and a' donald duck one. I'm pretty
Speaker 6: sure I remember too.
Speaker 16: Do you have as many as this person has?
Speaker 19: No?
Speaker 6: As I look at the picture, that's that's impressive. And
Speaker 6: they've got them sorted by color as well.
Speaker 16: I know there must be two hundred in the picture
Speaker 16: somebody sent it to me. That's amazing, this is phenomenal. Now,
Speaker 16: this is how I would value it. I'd say it's
Speaker 16: fabulous and prideless. How can you val.
Speaker 23: People might think?
Speaker 13: What was?
Speaker 16: It was kind of a little it was kind of
Speaker 16: a chalky suite. It wasn't the most beautiful suite in
Speaker 16: the world.
Speaker 6: A little chiny sort of tablets about the size of
Speaker 6: a piece of chewing gum, roughly that sort of size.
Speaker 6: But they had this plastic thing with their head on it,
Speaker 6: and you'd pop their head up and this stuff.
Speaker 16: You know, they're be inside this little little tube that
Speaker 16: was below the head.
Speaker 6: Yes, and.
Speaker 16: Can you believe every single one of those that you're
Speaker 16: looking at there is difference, no two the same.
Speaker 6: Wow, it's a It's a great collection.
Speaker 16: Isn't it.
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And what can take up too much room? Either? What
Speaker 6: a great thing to collect.
Speaker 16: And by the way, I do know that there were
Speaker 16: some that they made very few of for some reason,
Speaker 16: or maybe it was a different colored base or something.
Speaker 16: And I do know that some of them at one
Speaker 16: stage was selling for some hundreds a couple of them
Speaker 16: at least, because you know, one was maybe the Mickey
Speaker 16: mouse Head was supposed to have a yellow body or
Speaker 16: a green body, if some of them a red body,
Speaker 16: and some of them, I do know that some of
Speaker 16: them at the time, I don't know anymore. I don't
Speaker 16: know much about them, to be honest, but I just
Speaker 16: it was such a fabulous thing. Now, the next one
Speaker 16: is a very snooty looking woman who was a sort
Speaker 16: of a store dummy. It would have been. It was
Speaker 16: only kind of a bust in other words, just from
Speaker 16: the sort of earth, just to blow that the neck,
Speaker 16: I suppose, you'd say, And I would imagine that it
Speaker 16: would have. She would have been from an old department store,
Speaker 16: maybe with a hat or something like that. But she
Speaker 16: is a very she's looking down and knows that she
Speaker 16: has people. Yes, she had a very snooty appearance.
Speaker 6: Advertising a fascinator or something.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, something like that probably was. And I would
Speaker 16: think from about the nineteen thirties it looked very old
Speaker 16: to me. She came out of an old apartment store
Speaker 16: up in the Wimra as it happens in western north
Speaker 16: western Victoria, and it's an old stores long long gone.
Speaker 16: Of course, it would have been a kind of haberdashery.
Speaker 16: Course they used to call them amberdashery stores. Yes, and
Speaker 16: this old well clothing and.
Speaker 6: All manner of things, dreams of fabrics.
Speaker 16: This isn't the window of that shop? How about that?
Speaker 6: Lovely?
Speaker 16: And the last one is a big canvas from the
Speaker 16: show featuring a woman on roller skates and it says
Speaker 16: death defining all sorts of wonderful thing. But it's a beautiful,
Speaker 16: absolutely huge, I might say, and worth a lot of money.
Speaker 16: I'd think probably fifteen hundred dollars. Rare, very rare item lovely.
Speaker 6: Huge things like that look really good on a wall
Speaker 6: in a two story house.
Speaker 16: Exactly. You need a two story house, yes, exactly, and
Speaker 16: you need to do a sort of down the stairwell.
Speaker 16: You might say, that's the only way I could do it,
Speaker 16: because I saw.
Speaker 6: A picture one that somebody sent in and they had
Speaker 6: a tram roll. So it was a Melbourne person obviously,
Speaker 6: but they had a role. Yeah. So it had all
Speaker 6: of the stops along a tram route all on this
Speaker 6: roll and they'd hung it from the ceiling to the
Speaker 6: floor in a two story house. Yeah, And the only
Speaker 6: way to do it, and it looked fantastic.
Speaker 23: On the wall.
Speaker 16: The sad thing is because they served long and most
Speaker 16: people live in a one story house, people do cut
Speaker 16: them up.
Speaker 6: Oh yes, no, don't do that.
Speaker 16: If you've got one, I'd rather than rolled up than
Speaker 16: do that. I've always said I do have one, and
Speaker 16: I've said to me, maybe the best thing we'd do
Speaker 16: is we could lay it on the floor and then
Speaker 16: put a sort of a perspex cover over the top,
Speaker 16: uh as for us to walk on, So we could
Speaker 16: actually walk on it with the sign underneath, which would
Speaker 16: run down from the front door to almost to the
Speaker 16: back door of the house.
Speaker 6: That's marvelous, wonderful. All right, let's get to We've got
Speaker 6: some calls that have come through for Rick. Darren's im warnable.
Speaker 6: Hi Darren, here go. You're good.

Speaker 6: the Twin Towers and the Brooklyn Bridge in it.
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, that's a yeah, that's a bit of a special.
Speaker 16: I'd need to do a bit of a research on that, Darren.
Speaker 16: I don't know him, and but I will be able to.
Speaker 16: I'll be able to put you in touch with somebody
Speaker 16: if you'd care to give you a call after ten today?
Speaker 16: Oh this number, I got the number.

Speaker 6: time as well. But yeah, Rick, Rick will Rick will know.
Speaker 6: That's the glorious thing about Rick Milne is if he
Speaker 6: doesn't know, he knows someone who does know. One stop
Speaker 6: shop for contacts. Got on your Darren, thanks for that.
Speaker 6: Judith is in Melbourne.
Speaker 23: Hi Judith, Hello Rick.
Speaker 33: I am the grand daughter of who used to be
Speaker 33: Lord Mayor of Brunswick in the eighteen fifty fours or
Speaker 33: fifty five.
Speaker 16: Oh I how about that you.
Speaker 26: Okay?
Speaker 33: Now, I've got a silk Handkerchifeeth that was given to
Speaker 33: me by my mother to look after and it's what
Speaker 33: the Queen Victoria on it. It's got a baby's bottle
Speaker 33: with a very long chube bonders and a couple of
Speaker 33: other things that's actually on that original silk handkerchief. Would
Speaker 33: that be worth any see?
Speaker 16: Yes, it would, it would. That's been unusual. They used
Speaker 16: to do lots of wonderful silk handkerchiefs. Well, not exactly handkerchiefs.
Speaker 16: I don't think you plow your nose on it, but
Speaker 16: they were on sort of what you call handkerchief material.
Speaker 16: But you wouldn't want to be doing too much of that,
Speaker 16: would you on? With such a lovely item. Yeah, those
Speaker 16: do sell pretty well, I have to say, Judith and
Speaker 16: somewhere I would think these days might find a customer.
Speaker 16: Not easy to find because the young are kind of
Speaker 16: the ruling the world a bit in terms of the
Speaker 16: buying power. But nonetheless, if you could find a good customer,
Speaker 16: I reckon you might get one hundred dollars for it
Speaker 16: these days, right about.
Speaker 44: Yeah.
Speaker 33: They also I've got a home a very very old
Speaker 33: print which would have been belonged to my grandfather. Yes,
Speaker 33: and it's the print of the horse racing home maybe
Speaker 33: pilap days. And also with a copy of each person
Speaker 33: that's in that photograph of what's a print that tells
Speaker 33: you who they are?
Speaker 17: Ah?
Speaker 16: Yes, that's a black and white one, isn't They're all
Speaker 16: numbered is that the one of the racetrack. Yes, that's right, Yes, yes,
Speaker 16: I know that one. That's that one turns up believe
Speaker 16: it or not, that one, and they have. They were
Speaker 16: all famous people, of course, you know, governor general and
Speaker 16: all the sort of people. And they were numbered, they
Speaker 16: were all numbered, and they were kind of they weren't
Speaker 16: photographs exactly were they They were more like artwork. And
Speaker 16: that one sells for about probably these days, about not much,
Speaker 16: probably forty or fifty dollars would just about see it out,
Speaker 16: turns up a lot, believe it or not. Judah, next one.
Speaker 6: There's a fair few of them around, I guess yes.

Speaker 7: and we used to hear that song on the radio
Speaker 7: and we would be around the radio the table with
Speaker 7: the radio down the end, yep, and we would be
Speaker 7: eating our breakfast and getting ready for school. And I
Speaker 7: think back in those days, Darren Hinch was on the
Speaker 7: radio in the morning, yes, doing breakfast, and we would
Speaker 7: listen to him and he'd be playing some songs like
Speaker 7: that as well. You could just hear it through the wireless,
Speaker 7: you know, the crackling sound and yeah, it's awesome, it's good,
Speaker 7: wonderful stuff.

Speaker 14: And also if he come, see who'll get to the
Speaker 14: kangaroos and everything and all the nights while as we
Speaker 14: had in Australia. Yes, yes, and there's been a change
Speaker 14: for him from his corporate life.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think he gets around and I don't
Speaker 6: think he spends a lot of time in an office.

Speaker 6: good to come down and you know, visit Australia zoo
Speaker 6: or something like that.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't And also it'll be
Speaker 14: a good for the company.

Speaker 6: That would be good.
Speaker 14: We have a beautiful country here.

Speaker 6: visit an Australian tourist hotspot this weekend as he expands
Speaker 6: his STARLINGK satellite empire in the Southern Hemisphere. Take Billionaires
Speaker 6: due to touchdown in Bali on Sunday to launch his
Speaker 6: broadband internet serve as Starlink on the Indonesian island Australian
Speaker 6: tourist hotspot. So he's not actually coming to Australia. He's
Speaker 6: going to Bali, which is an Australian tourist hotspot according
Speaker 6: to this. Oh but hang on, Elon must to land
Speaker 6: on Australia's doorsteps. So yeah, there's still nothing to say
Speaker 6: he's coming here, but he's coming close to here.
Speaker 14: You tell me different in a message.
Speaker 6: Right, Okay, Well I'm happy to go with the message
Speaker 6: that he's sent you. That'll be great. So yeah, please
Speaker 6: extend me our courtesy. Wou'd happily have him come and
Speaker 6: spend some money in Australia.
Speaker 39: Yeah, all right, yeah, lovely, all.
Speaker 6: Right, go along is Sahara. Let us know if you
Speaker 6: hear from him again.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I heard from him and he said glove to.
Speaker 6: Me, Elon Musk loves you. Well that's nice too, nice
Speaker 6: to feel appreciated, isn't it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you can imagine being with anyone else's shipped from me.
Speaker 6: Well, there you go, he hasn't He got a few
Speaker 6: kids by a few different women. You he might be
Speaker 6: looking for another another mother, Zahara.
Speaker 14: Well, he told me about his kids and he's got twelve.
Speaker 6: Yeah, twelve kids. Yeah, I thought he had a fair
Speaker 6: for you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and he's been married about four times.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Is he currently married or is he on the prowl?
Speaker 14: Now no, it's not. Does he tell me in the
Speaker 14: message should gives you and I gives you? And have
Speaker 14: the honest take your hand in marriage.
Speaker 6: So Elon Musk has proposed to.
Speaker 39: You, Yes, he did wow on.
Speaker 14: The internet.
Speaker 6: Well will he come and live with you or will
Speaker 6: you have to go and live with him? If well,
Speaker 6: that is if you're accepted. Firstly, sorry, yes, I shouldn't
Speaker 6: be so bold. Are you going to accept his proposal?
Speaker 14: I thought about it for what and then I did.
Speaker 14: But he's so busy over the sea. Yeah, because he's
Speaker 14: but it hurts him in his heart, becauld he hasn't
Speaker 14: in it. You can't see right into Australia. But he
Speaker 14: did say to me many messages.
Speaker 6: He tauds me babe, Oh does he that's that's nice?
Speaker 6: Nice to have anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now, what what I will say, Sahara is because because
Speaker 6: he's contacting you online, I should just say, just make
Speaker 6: sure before you ever commit to anything. And and like
Speaker 6: he's a very rich man, so if he asks you
Speaker 6: for money at all, just but make sure you don't
Speaker 6: go sending him any money, because it just there's a
Speaker 6: very slight, a very slip impossibility that if Elon Musk
Speaker 6: is contacting you online, it may actually not be the
Speaker 6: real Elon Musk. And I'd hate to shadow your dreams
Speaker 6: and stuff, but just just bear that in mind it
Speaker 6: might not actually be him, and.
Speaker 14: We'll wait to that. What do you want to get
Speaker 14: married for? You've got promedy wives already that you married,
Speaker 14: and as I'm a Christian and Jewish sis, well I
Speaker 14: believe in the Lord and one marriage.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, well he'd have to make sure he's divorced
Speaker 6: from all of his previous wives before you would accept
Speaker 6: a proposal.
Speaker 14: I would imagine, yes, but he's divorced from all of them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, well that's.
Speaker 14: As change zeez on the Lord and in regard to
Speaker 14: the religion. But now he's a real Christian.
Speaker 6: Well that's that's good. Well, look, I better move on
Speaker 6: to the horror. But that's all good news for you,
Speaker 6: and yeah, and keep us posted. I hope it all
Speaker 6: works out for you. But you know these international people,
Speaker 6: and you know he's a very busy business man. I
Speaker 6: just hope it doesn't end in heartbreak for you. I
Speaker 6: hope it all works out all well, but thanks for
Speaker 6: the calls of horror and keep in touch, keep us
Speaker 6: posted on how that goes. Thank you. Now we better

Speaker 6: Taking your calls now on one double three eight eighty
Speaker 6: two or won double three six nine three. Chris is Embroady,
Speaker 6: Hi Chris, Hello.
Speaker 8: Simon and Jay I you goad the night foot you

Speaker 8: clock completely out. I mean I watched the horse race
Speaker 8: got through to four thirty five o'clock on our Melbourne
Speaker 8: a bitch Poland and Victorian based at Channel seven out
Speaker 8: races dot com doors. I got some of the same
Speaker 8: races on Channel seven, but I don't. But now I'll
Speaker 8: get to the stage I'll stop watching some of the
Speaker 8: news reports. And just while I was on hold, I
Speaker 8: had to quickly races side to see there's no helicopters.

Speaker 8: they know where you live, Chris, yeah, it has you
Speaker 8: deally thrown my whole body clock out.
Speaker 23: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And I decided that yeah, I would bring probably Astra
Speaker 8: overnight Monday for the Wednesday. There's been a few communications
Speaker 8: right down, a few not for that jo Jo's was
Speaker 8: a couple of of them. Producers at other times acquizzed
Speaker 8: me about every time I bring up about what I
Speaker 8: want to talk about, and so I didn't say enough
Speaker 8: in confront. I just said I'll fall enough. Look, I'll
Speaker 8: just take big day better and I'll of course in
Speaker 8: time to come, you know, and just sort of and
Speaker 8: not think anything anything difficult. Just and the tailor taith
Speaker 8: a bit like Caroline Katsa bars down one still if
Speaker 8: she precisely said this, I'll get sick of things we
Speaker 8: can't even deal with in Victoria because we're stuck with
Speaker 8: a parliament, a government, and people are blinded like racehorses
Speaker 8: with blinkers on. They're looking to head pay rises money.
Speaker 8: We need more money and they're not looking at the
Speaker 8: Carnegie have done either side or left behind them. And
Speaker 8: I don't have a voice to say, well, look, people
Speaker 8: deserve good money. But there's times that we really have
Speaker 8: to just try and hold on and help the fiscal
Speaker 8: free ups of money within our state. We can't keep
Speaker 8: borrowing money and bread Butt's not going to be able
Speaker 8: to go many for us to tens of thousand days
Speaker 8: to trees to grow mint currency, or we print more
Speaker 8: mint courage and mint up the croaking bad or further
Speaker 8: up in the state we devalue a dollar and no
Speaker 8: one will get no bank for back with the visitors.
Speaker 8: So you know, we can't stay in the status quosigmon
Speaker 8: and and I can't watch anymore Taylor down ifing I'm watching,
Speaker 8: I want to see what Russians are, I said to
Speaker 8: update what Russians responsible went with that very clever thing
Speaker 8: that the ukony Is don't deep in the Russian territory.
Speaker 8: I didn't think that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, with drains that cost a couple hundred bucks, they
Speaker 6: took out billions of dollars of aircraft. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: remarkable achievement and what they what they did there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll take it with you probably Satday night, and
Speaker 8: probably's good for because I'm going to start watching watch
Speaker 8: them bit of a VFL. I've connected with your program.
Speaker 8: Still listening for now the last two hours too, just
Speaker 8: to I still like the foot I like the local
Speaker 8: for the second second tier forty two, but yeah, I
Speaker 8: haven't watched any. Last year, I did not miss an
Speaker 8: AFL game on Free to Wear right true to the
Speaker 8: Grand Final. But this year some games I'm not interested
Speaker 8: in watching them because they've got teams that I better.
Speaker 8: I like watching my own Richmond gulng, Western Bulldogs, Eston
Speaker 8: and Saint Kiolda, and I've can watch it to Adelaide's side,
Speaker 8: but anything involves West Coast Gold case. It's so that
Speaker 8: I don't like them. But like with Hawforne last year,
Speaker 8: they were not expected to do well last year Harnard,
Speaker 8: so they weren't on Treue to Wear TV too much
Speaker 8: and yet you know they're virtually winning games, are getting
Speaker 8: in the finals, and we didn't know much about their
Speaker 8: new inspirational stars. I'm saying a bit of them this year,
Speaker 8: but yeah it's not. Yeah, So I don't like to
Speaker 8: sort of be caught out by stuff like that. I
Speaker 8: like to be in the mixes. I'm really virtual on
Speaker 8: the ground. Watch it are all unfolded.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolute, good on your Chris. Always a pleasure. Thank you, mate.
Speaker 6: Hilton calls from Drew and Hi Hilton.
Speaker 40: Good evening gents.
Speaker 27: So are we Yeah?
Speaker 6: Good, thank you.
Speaker 40: Firstly, it doesn't work an him. I have secondary cirrhosis
Speaker 40: of the liver.
Speaker 6: Sorry.
Speaker 40: Yeah, so I do have some supporters out there that
Speaker 40: some are wondering where is he?
Speaker 16: Is he dead?
Speaker 23: Well, no I'm not.
Speaker 40: I'm still kicking and the one last chance to living.
Speaker 40: So we're giving our best shot. But that's another point.
Speaker 40: But I worked at three and E in wanga Adda
Speaker 40: from eighty five to eighty nine, and I learned a
Speaker 40: lot about music in the eighties and well the previous ten, fifteen,
Speaker 40: maybe twenty years and beyond them. Bennimar Donis was an
Speaker 40: interesting song and story, and without casting dispersions upon the fellow,
Speaker 40: a lot of people said, who is this bloke? He
Speaker 40: probably needs to go away if you listen to the lyrics.
Speaker 40: Very closely. It does, I suppose we can, but it
Speaker 40: does reek of.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 40: It starts with P and N in a and has
Speaker 40: quite a few syllables in that he what's he trying
Speaker 40: to achieve here? And if he wasn't such a good singer,
Speaker 40: it would not be where it is today. So you
Speaker 40: might remember the clip and the lyrics. She's just sixteen
Speaker 40: years old, Leave her alone, they say. He comes up
Speaker 40: to the window, and you might remember the flying carpet.
Speaker 40: He looks through the window and here's this young girl
Speaker 40: on a flying carpet, and he puts his head through
Speaker 40: the window. And next thing, he's on the carpet and
Speaker 40: they take off in this miss called carpet.
Speaker 23: Do you remember that?
Speaker 6: I know, I don't remember the clip. No, but I'm
Speaker 6: just looking at the song lyrics now, and yes, yes.
Speaker 40: So he evidently lived on the first floor. He was
Speaker 40: on the fourth floor, and she was on the first floor,
Speaker 40: and she came up and see him because she was
Speaker 40: being well fear evidently being abused or neglected, and he
Speaker 40: was the only one to look after her. And she's
Speaker 40: just sixteen years old, and she would come to him.
Speaker 40: Bennie mardonas he go to the phone box and she'd
Speaker 40: ring him. It was just an amazing film clip. That
Speaker 40: was Bennie Mardona's story. So he explains it extremely well
Speaker 40: in the clip if you do get to see it.
Speaker 23: And that's that's where it was.
Speaker 40: And that was it with Benny, and he survived on
Speaker 40: the one hit.
Speaker 23: As marks as many do.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm looking looking at the clip now and yes,
Speaker 6: is they've just got onto the carpet together now they're flying?
Speaker 40: Yes, yes, So the man is probably about four for two.
Speaker 40: He puts his big head through the window. He looks
Speaker 40: about eight foot tall.
Speaker 6: So now, so for the plot of the clip, so
Speaker 6: is he rescuing her from a bad life or is
Speaker 6: he leading her astray? That's the one thing I'm not
Speaker 6: clear on there.
Speaker 40: You could look at you could look at it both ways.
Speaker 40: That's what people can't work out.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yes, but the song.
Speaker 40: The music and the lyrics just got him through.
Speaker 27: But that was it.
Speaker 40: There was there was no other normal Bennie Mark Bernis
Speaker 40: and he explains the film clip. My intense and purposes
Speaker 40: were not to molest the child. I was merely looking
Speaker 40: after it. Okay, it was very rare for you two
Speaker 40: and Jay your producer to be summed, and I thought, well,
Speaker 40: I wake up with cramps every couple of hours and
Speaker 40: I'm listening, I think, oh goodness, man, I have to
Speaker 40: ring you fellas well. It's very rare for you people
Speaker 40: to be stumped.

Speaker 6: very shortly. We've got Mark and Arthur waiting for a chat.
Speaker 6: Article in the paper this morning, and I've heard talk
Speaker 6: about these things on other radio stations, Anthony Ploversen has
Speaker 6: written in the papers this morning. Australian le boo boo
Speaker 6: fans who are splurging hundreds or even thousand dollars thousands
Speaker 6: on the fluffy toys are going to extreme lengths to
Speaker 6: protect their precious cargo by ensuring them before heading overseas.
Speaker 6: The global la boo boo craze has taken the nation
Speaker 6: by storm, with their toothy grins seen everywhere, dangling from
Speaker 6: handbags and perched on bedroom bookcases and office desks. Nearly
Speaker 6: one in four Australians said they would take out travel
Speaker 6: insurance to protect their laboo boos, according to a new
Speaker 6: report from travel insurance provider passport card I struggle to
Speaker 6: believe that one in four people who are traveling are
Speaker 6: going to take out insurance on something that they voluntarily
Speaker 6: dangle from a bag. So, for those who don't know
Speaker 6: what a laboo boo doll is and it's the spelling
Speaker 6: of it is lab you be you, So yeah, just
Speaker 6: la booboo lab you be you and all in one
Speaker 6: word as well, all they are is it's think of
Speaker 6: think of troll dolls. Remember troll dolls as a thing
Speaker 6: from the past, those little dolls that had sort of
Speaker 6: a grin and the orange or whatever color it was,
Speaker 6: spiky hair back in the nineteen eighties they really took off.
Speaker 6: This is sort of the equivalent now. But all it
Speaker 6: is is it's it's just a fuzzy outfit like a
Speaker 6: skin like a bear skin or a rabbit skin or
Speaker 6: something around a face. It's just a little like a
Speaker 6: mini troll doll, but there's a face. They're fluffy, and
Speaker 6: they've got ears on top like a rabbit, like bunny ears,
Speaker 6: and they're just little dolls. And whoever invented them was
Speaker 6: smart enough to get onto a couple of influences and
Speaker 6: get them to hang them off their Vasacei bags and
Speaker 6: high end fashion stuff, and which has made them very
Speaker 6: popular and trendy. So of course, people like Sheep following
Speaker 6: the flock have decided that la boo boo is the thing.
Speaker 6: But they cost hundreds or a hundred plus to get
Speaker 6: a la booboo, And so now the thing is, and
Speaker 6: there's some that are collectible, more collectible than others. So
Speaker 6: people are just going nuts spending a fortune on these things.
Speaker 6: And I just don't get it aither you. Most standard
Speaker 6: labooboos retail between fifty and one hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 6: for a doll, a little doll that hangs off your
Speaker 6: school bag or your Vasaci handbag, if you're that rich.
Speaker 6: It is simply a waste of money. And it's a trend,
Speaker 6: and I just don't understand.
Speaker 7: I'm on, you've got one, haven't you. I'm sure I
Speaker 7: saw attached to your jacket there.
Speaker 6: I didn't even get into.
Speaker 45: I have.
Speaker 6: Somewhere at home. I think i've got one. What are
Speaker 6: those other ones? Pop somethings in a cardboard box with
Speaker 6: a wide head on a little body. And they've got
Speaker 6: doctor Who ones, They've got Harry Potter one's and stuff.
Speaker 6: I've got a Blues brother one. I think that one
Speaker 6: of my kids got me. So that's because I love
Speaker 6: the Blues Brothers. But I've never got into those either.
Speaker 7: I've seen them in there as you say the little
Speaker 7: box yeahs on their faces.
Speaker 6: I just don't get it. People pay, you know, like
Speaker 6: fifty dollars as a starting thing. I wouldn't pay ten.
Speaker 6: It's sort of looks like a beanie kid with ears.
Speaker 6: That's probably the best way to describe it, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Remember Beanie Beanie bears?
Speaker 7: No, I don't remember the Beanie bears.
Speaker 6: Yeah, beanie bears. If you google Beanie bears, and people
Speaker 6: at home willing to do the same, if you've got
Speaker 6: your phone nearby whilst you're lying in bed trying to
Speaker 6: keep warm. Beanie bears. If you look those up, they're
Speaker 6: very similar in look, except just take out the face
Speaker 6: and put a more human looking face on it and
Speaker 6: you'll be said anyway, I just don't get it.
Speaker 7: Sorry, So look at that forty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: The top.
Speaker 7: Yes, expensive beanie babies.
Speaker 27: Yeah.
Speaker 6: See that's crazy too, my gosh, because all these things
Speaker 6: are collectible for a while and then the collectibility drops off.
Speaker 6: So I'm having discussions with my son about his Pokemon
Speaker 6: card obsession at the moment as well. But who am
Speaker 6: I to speak because I have an entire collection of
Speaker 6: street directory So who am I to say anything. All right,
Speaker 6: let's get to some calls. Mark is in stall? How
Speaker 6: are you Mark?
Speaker 30: Uh? At least Malway never breaks down.
Speaker 6: That is true?
Speaker 23: Yes, and that never gets to flap fat tree. It's
Speaker 23: always where you can't find it.
Speaker 29: It's always just had arms breach.
Speaker 6: Yeah, mine's under the driver.
Speaker 29: Anyway. Anyway, Oh, this is nice as the our and
Speaker 29: live and government to give the farmers a good heads
Speaker 29: up on one condition. Your rights must be paid in Well,
Speaker 29: guess what most came from only take quarter installments?
Speaker 6: Ah, okay, well that's a problem.
Speaker 29: The rights will never be fully paid.
Speaker 6: Well a bit of a fery, Well I would Yeah,
Speaker 6: I don't know the story, of course, because I don't
Speaker 6: care about politics, But would it not be the case that, like,
Speaker 6: if your installments are up to date? Surely that was
Speaker 6: never mentioned the way I've read it. Yes, but we
Speaker 6: know the way you read it might be slightly biased.
Speaker 48: No, your rates must be paying full timorously the grant. Yeah,
Speaker 48: if you're paying quarterly installments, he rates up.
Speaker 6: Fully paid until the until the third until the fourth
Speaker 6: payment has gone through. So you're only fully paid effectively
Speaker 6: for one quarter of the year.
Speaker 29: And guess what happens It only lasts twelve months, and
Speaker 29: guess what happens at the end of twelve months, what
Speaker 29: you miss out because it's only running for twelve months. Fantastic,
Speaker 29: what a great idea.
Speaker 6: Well, I guess though, if the if you haven't paid
Speaker 6: your it's like, I understand where you're coming from, but
Speaker 6: I guess there has to be a line somewhere, and
Speaker 6: and we need clarification on whether on whether, as as
Speaker 6: you have read it, whether the entire rates need to
Speaker 6: be paid up in full up front before you can
Speaker 6: get assistance, or or whether it's just that you know
Speaker 6: you have to be on time with your payments one
Speaker 6: way or the other. But you know if if they
Speaker 6: go the other way and say, oh, it doesn't matter
Speaker 6: if you haven't paid your rates, We're just going to
Speaker 6: give you money. Well, if you're not paid your rates,
Speaker 6: then if you're not paying your taxes effectively, then why
Speaker 6: would the why would the government give you money back?
Speaker 6: But look at it's and it's it's it's more complex
Speaker 6: than that. I'm trying to simplify it and probably shouldn't,
Speaker 6: but look, it's a it's a point you've raised, and
Speaker 6: if anyone has the answer, I'd love to know what
Speaker 6: else is doing. It's good on your mate, thank you,
Speaker 6: take care of cheers, got on your mark a break
Speaker 6: after and Peter, you'll be up neck. Just had a
Speaker 6: lovely message during the break sent to me via social
Speaker 6: media through Facebook Messenger from Stephen Morning Stephen hope all
Speaker 6: is well. And Stephen was talking about earlier in the morning.
Speaker 6: I think it was earlier this morning, we were talking
Speaker 6: about social media, and briefly within some conversation I can't
Speaker 6: even I can barely even remember the context, but I
Speaker 6: did say something along the lines of what you see
Speaker 6: on people's social media accounts is not a true reflection.
Speaker 6: It's you know, generally, what you see on people's social
Speaker 6: media accounts is the highlight, the carefully edited or you know,
Speaker 6: the best picture out of all the pictures that were taken,
Speaker 6: or that snapshot of you know, you've been to a
Speaker 6: restaurant or something, nothing about the train trip in where
Speaker 6: you were feeling miserable or depressed or whatever. Here I
Speaker 6: am happy in a restaurant with my meal sitting and
Speaker 6: there's that. You see people's highlights, you don't, so it's
Speaker 6: not a real portrayal of people's lives that you see
Speaker 6: on social media, and Steven's just sent me a message
Speaker 6: about that. I didn't have time to listen to it all.
Speaker 6: But Stephen does make a very good point that I
Speaker 6: wasn't even saying that was the bad side of social media.
Speaker 6: I was just saying just social media isn't isn't the
Speaker 6: bee all an end? Or don't look at everyone else's
Speaker 6: social media and think that your life is less perfect
Speaker 6: because there's a seemingly perfect But Stephen makes a very
Speaker 6: good point that social media for many people is an
Speaker 6: absolute lifeline and it can be a wonderful thing, and
Speaker 6: that's true. There's I've always thought it's when you think
Speaker 6: about when you retire, When people retire and you know
Speaker 6: you've been working all these years, and then some people
Speaker 6: just really struggle with having nothing to do, and you
Speaker 6: wake up in the morning and go, what's my purpose today?
Speaker 6: What can I do today? Well, for me, I know
Speaker 6: I could sit and watch like I'm a Robin Williams fan.
Speaker 6: I've often spoken about that there are thirty thousand different
Speaker 6: clips of Robin Williams on the Internet that I could
Speaker 6: sit and watch for hours and just marvel at his genius.
Speaker 6: There's YouTube, there's more stuff goes up on YouTube than
Speaker 6: we could ever possibly watch in a day. So there's
Speaker 6: so much stuff. If you've got a favorite movie actor,
Speaker 6: if you've got a favorite person you admire, there's just
Speaker 6: the Internet is a wonderful place for it. And so
Speaker 6: there is a great positive in what is available on
Speaker 6: the internet. It has there there's a lot of negatives
Speaker 6: as well, but there are some great positives. So good point, Stephen.
Speaker 6: I do appreciate that. That's lovely. Arthur's in West Footscray.
Speaker 34: Good Arthur, Good morning, Simon and Jay. First of all,
Speaker 34: Happy birthday of Jay for tomorrow. And it's Tony McManus's
Speaker 34: on Friday or thirteen.
Speaker 6: Yes, only a week or so from today.
Speaker 30: Yes, I think anyway, you know you said you got
Speaker 30: the directories?
Speaker 26: I do?
Speaker 34: Would you will leave? My chiefs burnt out? You can
Speaker 34: hardly get them. I'm still carrying directory for backup, but anyway,
Speaker 34: can I leave?
Speaker 9: Here?
Speaker 34: Were located to nominate two songs with songs in English
Speaker 34: and another language. Yes, yes, please do yes so Wooden
Speaker 34: Heart by Elvis Presley in French and English. And there
Speaker 34: was another artist, Nina Cherry, which sang seven seconds African
Speaker 34: French and English.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's true. What a good song that was too, Yeah.
Speaker 34: A good dance version of in the King Street nightclubs
Speaker 34: as well. I forgot that artist because I leant it
Speaker 34: off the other DJ. But yeah, Nina Cherry, So there
Speaker 34: the nations. I heard your talking about them earlier on,
Speaker 34: so I thought it would be the right time to
Speaker 34: nominate those two.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm going to bring that up. I haven't officially
Speaker 6: launched it as a topic, but I was going to
Speaker 6: bring it up just either after I've chatted to you guys,
Speaker 6: or or just after the next break. But yeah, let's
Speaker 6: let's throw that in now because today is the birthday
Speaker 6: of Freddy Fender, who was born in nineteen thirty seven. Wow,
Speaker 6: that was a while ago, but he had a huge
Speaker 6: hit in nineteen seventy five with Before the Next Tear
Speaker 6: Dropped Falls. So we might play that out of the
Speaker 6: next break because it does contain two languages. I still
Speaker 6: can't recall off the top of my head what the
Speaker 6: other language was, but we'll play that. But yes, so
Speaker 6: let's launch that as a topic now. If people want
Speaker 6: to give us a buzz one double three eight eighty
Speaker 6: two or one double three six nine three songs that
Speaker 6: are in two languages, and they're two ripper ones. Arthur
Speaker 6: that you've just come up with. Thank you, no worries.
Speaker 6: Good on your Arthur. Talk again soon. Take care mate,
Speaker 6: cheers Simon's in Colic. Good a, Simon, Good morning, Simon
Speaker 6: ear Yeah, yeah, good.
Speaker 49: Well, singing that Mark said yesterday as a steel sanger
Speaker 49: and remember back, yeah, a friend of their friend family.
Speaker 49: I both more cup and a little smoke.
Speaker 37: Film up this.
Speaker 6: The line's a bit fuzzy. So he was filling something
Speaker 6: up and he was filling up a petrol tank and
Speaker 6: he lit a smoke, did he?
Speaker 37: And there's more cups on me? We should know here
Speaker 37: you go?
Speaker 29: How are you?
Speaker 38: Is he gonna blow me up?
Speaker 9: And everybody else?
Speaker 6: Yeah, because the fumes are flammable.
Speaker 37: Yes, he said more legged than that, but they this
Speaker 37: really run off.
Speaker 6: That's bloody dangerous. I still get paranoid, Simon, when I'm
Speaker 6: filling up the car with petrol and my mobile rings
Speaker 6: in my pocket, I get I still get paranoid about that.
Speaker 6: But I don't know how many times ever in the
Speaker 6: world a mobile phone has blown up a car that's
Speaker 6: been filling up with petrol at a service station. But
Speaker 6: because they've got those warning stickers, they're saying no mobile devices.
Speaker 6: I'm paranoid about it, and the sort of screws, Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: the battery's on him. You plug it into charge at
Speaker 6: home and off it goes. Actually, my robot vacuum cleaner
Speaker 6: died the other day, the base station for it. So
Speaker 6: I gave it to a friend of mine who's an
Speaker 6: electronics repairment, and he pulled the thing out and showed
Speaker 6: me on the little powerboard, the little power circuit board,
Speaker 6: one little element on it had shortened out and blown.
Speaker 6: But then he showed me the inside of the plastic
Speaker 6: casing that it was housed in, and it was black scorched,
Speaker 6: And I thought, that robot that that charges the robot
Speaker 6: vacuum when it finishes its round. It comes out at
Speaker 6: five o'clock each day, vacuums my house and then goes
Speaker 6: back onto its dock, and that's when the thing activates.
Speaker 6: I'm not usually home. How dangerous is that that the
Speaker 6: thing shorted out and scorched the plastic when I wasn't
Speaker 6: even home. I'm lucky that it didn't burn the place down. Yeah,
Speaker 6: we've got to be careful with this technology that we've
Speaker 6: got hanging around our houses now.
Speaker 31: Yeah, yeah, okay, rights, all all.
Speaker 6: Right, good on assignment. Thank you for that. Let's get
Speaker 6: break number two for the hour out of the way,
Speaker 6: and then on the other side, we'll play Freddy Fender
Speaker 6: before the next tear drop falls, and then calls if
Speaker 6: anything you want to chat about. But i'd love your
Speaker 6: calls with songs that have verses or choruses in two languages.
Speaker 6: One double three six nine three or one double three
Speaker 6: eight eighty two. It's twenty eight to five if you're
Speaker 6: in Melbourne, if you're in Perth, it's twenty eight to three,
Speaker 6: and if you're in Adelaide it is two minutes after four.
Speaker 6: One double three six nine three and one double three
Speaker 6: eight eighty two are the numbers if you want to
Speaker 6: give us a buzz anything you want to chat about.
Speaker 6: But as I've just said, oh if you've just waken up,
Speaker 6: good morning to you. But I'm looking for songs that
Speaker 6: have two languages. So let's we rarely ever played a
Speaker 6: full song here, but we're going to play one Freddy
Speaker 6: Fender with his fabulous song from nineteen seventy five before
Speaker 6: the next tear drop falls.
Speaker 3: If he brings you happy names, then I wish you
Speaker 3: both of them. It's your happy name that matters most
Speaker 3: of all. But if he ever breaks your heart, if
Speaker 3: the teudra yost, I'll be there before the next dear
Speaker 3: drop fall.
Speaker 4: See the gear.
Speaker 21: The further.
Speaker 4: Heather, fairly see the le Let's say go.
Speaker 3: Lomaspoeno filos do.
Speaker 4: Better see there, say your.
Speaker 3: I mean made where this outler yes by Contiguando pez this.
Speaker 1: I'll be there any time.
Speaker 29: You need me.
Speaker 43: By your side, to drive away abby, to draw that
Speaker 43: you cry.
Speaker 3: And if he ever leaves you blue, just remember I
Speaker 3: love you, and I'll be there. Be bre the nest
Speaker 3: dear drop fall, and I'll be there before the next
Speaker 3: dear drop fall.
Speaker 6: What a great song. I love that version by Freddy
Speaker 6: Finder that was the big hit in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 6: According to Wikipedia, the song had been recorded about two
Speaker 6: dozen times before that by different artists including Dwayne de Jerry.
Speaker 6: Lee Lewis also had a hit with it, and Linda
Speaker 6: Martel had hits with it, well, not not huge hits
Speaker 6: with it, but they had previously recorded it. But Freddie
Speaker 6: Fender with that great version. There a bilingual song, and
Speaker 6: that's what we're after on one double three six nine
Speaker 6: three or one double three eight eighty two or anything
Speaker 6: else you want to chat about. Jim's in West Footscray.
Speaker 9: Hi Jim, Hi Simon, Hi Jay. That's my favorite version
Speaker 9: of that song. But he has another big hit. I
Speaker 9: don't think he's no longer with us?
Speaker 14: Is he?
Speaker 9: Breddy Fender?
Speaker 6: I know he would have passed away a few years ago.
Speaker 9: I would have thought, I'll have made a couple of songs.
Speaker 9: But before that, earlier you played a song by the
Speaker 9: Mentors anything, and you mentioned Live It Up, which was
Speaker 9: always my favorite song. But didn't they change their names
Speaker 9: later on to just the Mentals or was that another group?
Speaker 6: No, I think the Mentals was just sort of a
Speaker 6: nickname for them. I don't think they ever changed the name,
Speaker 6: but they're just commonly referred to as are the Mentals? Yeah?
Speaker 23: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Are they still together? I haven't heard nothing from them
Speaker 9: for a long time.
Speaker 6: Well, Greedy Smith was the lead singer, and he sadly
Speaker 6: passed away far too young, So I don't know if
Speaker 6: the band sort of continued on without him, or whether
Speaker 6: they'd done what most bands do and split up at
Speaker 6: some point, and then you know, years later get back
Speaker 6: together like Crowded House and all of those. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: don't know whether Mental is Anything still here we go.
Speaker 6: After twenty seven years of playing its brand of party
Speaker 6: rock to the world, Mental as Anything remains one of
Speaker 6: Australia's premiere live acts. Yeah, most of the original group
Speaker 6: members left during the two thousands. Greedy Smith died of
Speaker 6: on December on the second of December twenty nineteen, age
Speaker 6: sixty three, after a heart attack, But it doesn't explain
Speaker 6: whether they're still definitely going or not.
Speaker 9: Okay, anyway, the nominations old mention. I think it's me
Speaker 9: with the ninety nine book Balluonci have the English version
Speaker 9: in the full German version, but yeah, if you want
Speaker 9: the songs with part another language demos Russos. I think
Speaker 9: it was my friend the Win when he speaks part
Speaker 9: when he sings in English and in part Greek, but
Speaker 9: none of Muscouri. I think it was never on Sunday.
Speaker 9: Maybe when she speaks Greek too, or maybe I've got
Speaker 9: the song long most she sings one song in half
Speaker 9: English and half Greek.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, they're great ones. My friend the Wind I
Speaker 6: can't remember like I remember the song but I can't
Speaker 6: remember lyrically, I don't recall sort of hearing it in
Speaker 6: two languages. But I'm not not that I'm doubting you.
Speaker 6: I'm just saying it's been a long time since i've
Speaker 6: heard the song. But they have great examples. Jim marvelous stuff.
Speaker 9: But as I said, I'm not sure if it's my
Speaker 9: friend the Win, but I think it is where he
Speaker 9: sings part of it in Greek, or it could be
Speaker 9: another song. And then again, if you want another group,
Speaker 9: the German group Craft Were. They sang some of their
Speaker 9: songs in German and English as well.
Speaker 6: As in both bilingually, so that there's the two languages
Speaker 6: in one song, or just two.
Speaker 9: Recordings where they sang some in English and German and
Speaker 9: some in full German and full English.
Speaker 6: Wonderful.
Speaker 9: Tony Moclair would know, because I've heard Tony mentioned kraft
Speaker 9: Work a long time. I had their albums a long
Speaker 9: time ago, but I haven't played them for a long time.
Speaker 9: I've still got them here, but I haven't played them
Speaker 9: for a very long time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it could be time to drag me out and
Speaker 6: give them another spin on the old on the old platter,
Speaker 6: good on your Jim, thank you for the call. Great suggestions.
Speaker 6: B anchors in Adelaide, Hibi anchor.

Speaker 6: that's a that's a ripper too, fabulous. Yeah, good on

Speaker 6: Yeah. El Martino had quite a few hits. I can't
Speaker 6: think off the top of my head, but but yeah,
Speaker 6: a very popular singer al Martino, But we'll see if
Speaker 6: we can find al Martino singing still, and if we can,
Speaker 6: we might play a bit of it out of the
Speaker 6: next break. Thanks Bianca, Beverly's in double vue, Hi Beverly, Okay, Saha,
Speaker 6: whatever will be will be? Doris? Are you a Doris
Speaker 6: Daye or Normy row Fan?
Speaker 44: I don't say. When I was a child, I learned
Speaker 44: it playing your piano. But it's good advice as well.
Speaker 29: It is whatever.
Speaker 44: Yeah, there's another one. Do you know that one?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 44: It's beyond and sung by Connie Francis, and it's actually
Speaker 44: very She says her love is beyond the stars and
Speaker 44: beyond life itself, and it makes me realize, well, she's
Speaker 44: not actually singing about a person, is she.
Speaker 6: Connie Francis another great singer he has gone by.
Speaker 44: I mean there's one. She sings it in one version
Speaker 44: where it's all in Italian and then the other when
Speaker 44: it's half and half. So you know, I can't tell
Speaker 44: you which ones. Which is a beautiful song though, Yes,
Speaker 44: he's got a beautiful voice, Connie Francis, haven't you?
Speaker 39: Yes?
Speaker 6: She has?
Speaker 24: Yes?
Speaker 6: Was she related to someone else who was famous? Somewhere
Speaker 6: in my head. I'm thinking that Connie Francis was married
Speaker 6: to or was the sister of someone famous. I'm probably wrong.
Speaker 6: I don't know why I do this sometimes say things
Speaker 6: and then realize I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 44: Oh, yes, I do that quite often. No, I don't know.
Speaker 44: I also I love her version of love as many
Speaker 44: splendid things as.
Speaker 6: Well a beautiful song too.
Speaker 44: Yeah yeah, yes, she actually managed to reach the high
Speaker 44: note at the end. Yeah, you're talking about YouTube. Actually,
Speaker 44: I love listening to music on YouTube.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 29: Yeah.
Speaker 44: And also they very kindly they give me what they
Speaker 44: call my mix. They put together all the all the
Speaker 44: things are my favorite things, and they so I can
Speaker 44: just have this to them. So I suppose it's like
Speaker 44: a player list that they put according to what I've
Speaker 44: been listening to over about fifteen years.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So you just press play and it just when
Speaker 6: it finishes, it goes onto another one on your list.
Speaker 50: Yeah yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 44: So well, in other words, to ask you what exactly
Speaker 44: is an influencer, it's, I guess the.
Speaker 6: Best way to describe it in this day and age
Speaker 6: with social media, it's somebody who has a lot of followers.
Speaker 6: So like, if you've got to. If you have a
Speaker 6: social media channel on just on Instagram or something, and
Speaker 6: you put up a lot of pictures of yourself, you know,
Speaker 6: at an opening night or whatever, or reviewing your product
Speaker 6: or something, if you've got a lot of people who
Speaker 6: follow you and want to watch your videos, then that's
Speaker 6: very attractive to businesses. If you've got one hundred thousand
Speaker 6: people who look at everything you do, then you're an
Speaker 6: influencer because if you say, hey, look at this new
Speaker 6: Biro from Big and then people rush out and buy
Speaker 6: the new Biro because you have said it's good, that
Speaker 6: makes you an influencer.
Speaker 44: What about people on Twitter? They have a lot of followers,
Speaker 44: are they also influencers?
Speaker 45: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I guess so. Yes. It's sort of the term loosely
Speaker 6: covers anyone who effectively has influence over others.
Speaker 44: So yeah, okay, all right, very interesting. I often wondered
Speaker 44: what it meant.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's that's basically yeah, that's that's a very
Speaker 6: sort of simple overview of it. Yeah, it's it's as influencer, basically,
Speaker 6: somebody who has influence to you to encourage others.
Speaker 44: So yeah, I encourage cats. Does that make me an influencer?
Speaker 6: In the cat world probably.
Speaker 44: Or two of them. Influencer of two.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yeah, so you're probably not going to get
Speaker 6: any product sponsorships off that, but never.
Speaker 18: Mind cats maybe oh yeah yeah, true yeah, go.
Speaker 6: Onto whiskers and see what they say. All right, lovely
Speaker 6: to chatty you beverly, okay, take care, cheers, a break
Speaker 6: back with more of it, calls, Julian's there so is
Speaker 6: vern and Jimmy with you all soon?
Speaker 4: Oh you pull my heart.
Speaker 23: Over far.
Speaker 16: Ah, love you.
Speaker 1: After all this time?
Speaker 5: You're too long my mind.
Speaker 6: The beautiful voice of El Martella, El Martino, Yes, the
Speaker 6: beautiful voice of Al Martino. There with still back to
Speaker 6: your calls in just a sec A couple of quick
Speaker 6: text messages I want to read out before they disappear
Speaker 6: off the screen. Songs that are in two languages, says
Speaker 6: Agent seven eight one. Any song that James Rain sings.
Speaker 6: That's very funny, very funny. Indeed, thank you a song
Speaker 6: in two languages, which is an anthem. The New Zealand
Speaker 6: national anthem is in Maori and English. Thank you, Steve
Speaker 6: in Sydney, Agent seven eight one, again being very funny.
Speaker 6: This morning, my wife asked me to whisper dirty things
Speaker 6: into where here, So I whispered kitchen, bathroom and living room.
Speaker 6: But enjoying listening to you, Simon, Thank you, wondering if
Speaker 6: you could explain why the overnight hosts rarely tell us
Speaker 6: the time Ross and Russ tell us every ten minutes. Thanks,
Speaker 6: thank you, Agent five oh seven. Now, the reason for
Speaker 6: that simply is because this particular program is heard across
Speaker 6: three states four if you include southern New South Wales,
Speaker 6: but we're in three different time zone. So at the moment,
Speaker 6: I can tell you it's ten to five in Melbourne,
Speaker 6: but we're also on air in Perth where it's ten
Speaker 6: to three, and we're also on in Adelaide, which is
Speaker 6: twenty past four. So as you have just heard, it
Speaker 6: takes me a moment to think about that. So I
Speaker 6: don't do time calls as often as I would if
Speaker 6: we were just in one time zone, because it's just
Speaker 6: hard when you're up all night. But I do try
Speaker 6: and do them from time to time, just to keep
Speaker 6: everyone reasonably well informed. But that's why it's just a
Speaker 6: little difficult, and if we do that out of every
Speaker 6: ad break, it just becomes repetitive and uninteresting to do. So,
Speaker 6: but thank you for the query. I hope that, hopefully
Speaker 6: that answers a question for you. Julian's in Armadale morning, Julian.
Speaker 23: Morely, don't forget the great Dean Martin used to sing
Speaker 23: a more different languages. To Dean Martin, of course, was
Speaker 23: a rich descent name Dino Rochetti or was which was
Speaker 23: this correct name?
Speaker 39: Yes?
Speaker 6: Yes, no, that's a great example.
Speaker 23: Yes, did he ever come to Australia.
Speaker 6: Oh did Dean Martin ever come to Australia? I don't know.
Speaker 6: Jerry Lewis did, of course on many occasions. But did Dino.
Speaker 6: I honestly couldn't tell you.
Speaker 23: Show you about that. Of course, the great opera stars
Speaker 23: of the world, they all have to are part of
Speaker 23: their training and performance, have to speak many different languages,
Speaker 23: like Pararotti when the things in this on dorma.
Speaker 6: Yes, I wonder how many of them learn the subtleties
Speaker 6: of the language or how any and can therefore just
Speaker 6: perform it in the language, or whether they just learn
Speaker 6: it by you know, they listen closely and just repeat
Speaker 6: what they're hearing the hearing.
Speaker 23: I don't know about that. Now we've got a very
Speaker 23: very famous operator from my school who's gone internationally famous
Speaker 23: from Corfield Grammar. If we want your neighbor, she's famous
Speaker 23: around the world. Her name is Helena Dix. She comes
Speaker 23: from Corfield Grammar in the nineteen nineties. Internationally, a speak
Speaker 23: star in opera comes from Melbourne. Have you heard of her?
Speaker 6: I can't say I have. But I'm not an opera buff,
Speaker 6: so I'm not a good measure for that.
Speaker 23: But you've got to have a taste for opera, of course,
Speaker 23: don't you.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm not that way inclined to I don't lean
Speaker 6: toward opera. I appreciate that it's an art form and
Speaker 6: it requires a great deal of talent, but it's just
Speaker 6: not to my ear.
Speaker 23: Yeah, because I also mentioned that in the old days
Speaker 23: of radio that many of the radio stars that came
Speaker 23: from the theater had to sing on the air.
Speaker 6: Ah, yes, well that was a very common thing. There
Speaker 6: was a lot of crossover with radio and vaudeville, so
Speaker 6: and a lot of those vaudevillians stars used to of
Speaker 6: course sing do comedy routines, and that's right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 37: Do you continue?
Speaker 23: Can you remember the old radio stars from the recordings
Speaker 23: that were theater people.
Speaker 6: Well, probably the best one is. Jack o'hagen is the
Speaker 6: first one that comes to my mind, who was a
Speaker 6: great advertising man as well as being a theater performer
Speaker 6: and a radio star and a singer. Not only did
Speaker 6: he do you know songs like Along the Road to
Speaker 6: gunder Guy and our Don Bradman, but he also was
Speaker 6: a host here in the in the at the very
Speaker 6: beginning of three a W. He was actually on air
Speaker 6: on three a W opening night.
Speaker 23: Who else can you think of? Mine? Came from the
Speaker 23: from the from on the air. That was a professional singer.
Speaker 6: Uh well, Dennis Walter is a professional singer.
Speaker 23: That's good question, that's yes.
Speaker 6: I'm coming more into the present now, of course. But
Speaker 6: Mike Brady was another. But Jack Davey released a song
Speaker 6: or two in his time as well, and of course
Speaker 6: Bob Dyer. Jack Davey and Bob Dyer in their time
Speaker 6: were nationally famous radio personalities and huge stars in their
Speaker 6: own right. And Bob Dyer, of course was a singer.
Speaker 6: He used to do country music country.
Speaker 26: Member.
Speaker 6: You're very good on that, yes, but it was it
Speaker 6: wasn't wasn't just sort of straight country music as we
Speaker 6: think of country music. It was hillbilly, that's right. He
Speaker 6: was a hillbilly musician.
Speaker 23: Yes about stain Dusty, of course, but he didn't do radio,
Speaker 23: did he.
Speaker 19: No.
Speaker 6: I don't think Slim ever hosted a radio show that
Speaker 6: I'm aware of it. Not to say he didn't, but
Speaker 6: I'm just not aware.
Speaker 23: Of course. The Australian comedian who was very vulgar who
Speaker 23: tried to sing but didn't was Worn Mo.
Speaker 6: Yes, and well Roy Reen's a great example of a
Speaker 6: vaudevillian performer who did wonders on radio as well. And
Speaker 6: no matter which name you want to call him, Moe
Speaker 6: mcacky or Roy Reen or Harry Vandersloos his actual real name.
Speaker 23: Yes, at high pitched voice, Bill Paw giving them any
Speaker 23: picky of Mo. One column was said in the paper
Speaker 23: that Mo would have been very good on TV and radio.
Speaker 23: Mo would have succeeded on TV. But Mo died before TV.
Speaker 23: Do you think that Moe would have made it on television?
Speaker 6: I think so, yes, because he had a very expressive
Speaker 6: face as well. Just to look at photos of him
Speaker 6: would have been wonderful. Julian, we must have. We've got
Speaker 6: to get this last break in before news, but lovely
Speaker 6: chat as always, News is coming up now Julian just
Speaker 6: mentioned Helena Dix and I said, I don't think I
Speaker 6: know the name. I did feel familiar, and I googled.
Speaker 6: I interviewed her back in twenty seventeen and she was
Speaker 6: bloody funny. I have to say.
Speaker 24: Now, this is Australia Urban Eyes with Simon Owas by.
Speaker 6: A bag of balloons.
Speaker 19: With the money, we've gone set them free at the
Speaker 19: break of dawn to one by one.
Speaker 7: They were young.
Speaker 19: Backup base Box in the software flash the message somethings
Speaker 19: are there floating the summer's going.
Speaker 1: Ninety nine red balloons.
Speaker 6: Go by, no, no, no, no, Jane. This is the
Speaker 6: English language version. This is ninety nine Red Balloons by Nina.
Speaker 6: She's singing in English.
Speaker 7: That's a question.
Speaker 6: Have a listened. I have listened to what she's singing.
Speaker 6: There's a bit more of an instrumental, but yeahs you
Speaker 6: just opened them with the English language. So this was
Speaker 6: the bit that this is the one that was never
Speaker 6: really heard on radio in this country back in the eighties. No,
Speaker 6: bring it up and have a listen, because she started
Speaker 6: singing there at.
Speaker 1: Sex ninety nine.
Speaker 5: Sma scout.
Speaker 6: That's see, that's the version I hate.
Speaker 7: Yeah, God, forgotten. I love ball the album.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, no, we'll get rid of that. We need
Speaker 6: to delete that from the system. Yeah, scrap that one. No, No,
Speaker 6: ninety nine Looft Balloons was the big hit. I had
Speaker 6: a I've just told you the story during news, but
Speaker 6: I had a victory over Cole's Radio, who I listened
Speaker 6: to when I want a bit of music radio. I
Speaker 6: often listened to Cole's Radio because oddly enough it's it's
Speaker 6: the best, it's the best music station in the country.
Speaker 7: I think.
Speaker 6: When I listened to that, they used to play ninety
Speaker 6: nine Red Balloons. And I contacted them and said, no that,
Speaker 6: no one in no one in Australia ever listened to
Speaker 6: ninety nine Red Balloons. They needed ninety nine Looft Balloons,
Speaker 6: the German language version because that was the hit. So yeah,
Speaker 6: and so they changed it. So that was that was
Speaker 6: That was how I saved Cole's Radio. And what about it?
Speaker 6: That's the one, that's the one.
Speaker 7: That's lawlessn.
Speaker 43: There we go.
Speaker 6: So that's the proper one. I hope you were joining up.
Speaker 6: We've played that. Good morning to you if you've just

Speaker 6: it as well. If you choose to continue on with

Speaker 51: Right now? I do a segment with Oh sorry, hello
Speaker 51: to Jay too. I do a segment with Tony, but
Speaker 51: I'm doing it now because I've got an issue which
Speaker 51: I have to attend to tomorrow morning. But it's an
Speaker 51: essay NFL Privy, which means that.
Speaker 6: Now I know we did it last last excuse me. Yeah,
Speaker 6: the throats just a little dry, that's all.
Speaker 51: Yeah, you need some water now, tiny is the Norwood man.
Speaker 51: I'll get into that because we've got to split round.
Speaker 51: The weather's going to be terrible like in Melbourne. I
Speaker 51: heard your web before casts rain, rain, rain, but we
Speaker 51: do need it now. First of all, on Saturday, the
Speaker 51: seventh Eagles versus the Central District at Woodville, Morntem. Central
Speaker 51: would comprehensively beaten by my team Sturt. Last week Eagles
Speaker 51: had a shock loss at Prospect to North Adelaide at home,
Speaker 51: the Eagles under the line of nineteen and a half points.
Speaker 51: The next game is also at Saturday, South Adelaide versus
Speaker 51: Adelaide Crows at nor Longer Megan Stadium and monkeypping Adelaide
Speaker 51: to smash South for old South haven't won the premiership
Speaker 51: since nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 6: They're having a shock in year as well.
Speaker 51: Apparently they are, and they were beaten comprehensively by the
Speaker 51: Tigers formalg last week. The next one he's on Sunday.
Speaker 51: We've got two games Saturday, two games Sunday. In the
Speaker 51: final game Monday, Port Adelaide Magpies versus West Saturdays. West
Speaker 51: was smashed by Norwood Richmond last week and Port Adelaide,
Speaker 51: giving a few fruits from the mini draft, Port will
Speaker 51: be too strong and West He's unfortunately have had to
Speaker 51: allow their coach to have some time off for privacy reasons,
Speaker 51: so port well and truly over the line at nineteen
Speaker 51: and a half. The other game should be a beauty
Speaker 51: at Strata Rama Glenelg Glenelg versus North Adelaide. Both teams
Speaker 51: would winners last week. Gromel currently equal second or maybe
Speaker 51: second on the ladder behind the Mighty.
Speaker 23: Double Blues at home.
Speaker 51: Glenelg should be too strong, but North Adelaide much improved
Speaker 51: under their new coach. Glenelg over the line nineteen Now
Speaker 51: the match of the round in my opinion is Sturt
Speaker 51: Nord at Onley Thomas Farms Oval. It's Tony's team versus
Speaker 51: my team. Do you have a team Simon Well.
Speaker 6: I'd have to jump on board with Sturt given their undefeated.
Speaker 6: Not a huge foot all fan myself, I must say,
Speaker 6: But if I'm going to jump on board the SA NFL,
Speaker 6: I'm going to go stirt right now.
Speaker 51: Well, you know they say you've got to have a loss. Well,
Speaker 51: last year we won thirteen in a row and loss
Speaker 51: of two finals. This year we've won eight in It's
Speaker 51: unheard of twenty one mine a round victories in the
Speaker 51: road of the Mighty Double blues. We've got a food
Speaker 51: and wine festival at Only next Monday, starting at eleven am.
