Speaker 1: Hello world. In a song that we're singing, come on, get.
Speaker 2: Happy, a whole lot of love, and it's what will
Speaker 2: be bringing, will make you happy.
Speaker 3: We are a dream.
Speaker 4: We don't travel togethers better than.
Speaker 1: Love, and then we'll keep women on. Something always happens.
Speaker 5: Where they have a win together and we get a
Speaker 5: happy feeling.
Speaker 1: When we're singing a song traveling alone.
Speaker 6: There's a song that was singing, come on, get happy,
Speaker 6: a whole lot of love, and it's what will be bringing.
Speaker 1: We make you.
Speaker 2: Happy, will make you happy.
Speaker 7: You well, Good morning everybody, and welcome to a brand
Speaker 7: new day. As someone once said, Simon owens in the
Speaker 7: chair again. And I'm a little surprised, I have to say,
Speaker 7: because Tony McManus I thought had just a little cold,
Speaker 7: but it must be more of a fluey type thing,
Speaker 7: because five days on he's still not back at work
Speaker 7: and he has the work ethic of I don't know
Speaker 7: what can you have a work ethic of? I was
Speaker 7: going to say a horse. I don't quite know what's right.
Speaker 7: Jay is here though, Hello Jay.
Speaker 8: Good morning, Simon.
Speaker 7: What does he have the work ethic of?
Speaker 8: A work ethic of Gee, that's a good one. That's
Speaker 8: an interesting way. We can even open that up actually,
Speaker 8: but yes, if you've got a work ethic of a
Speaker 8: ball or something. Yeah, yeah, moving.
Speaker 7: Forward, he is reliable, He's always there all of those things,
Speaker 7: but I know what it is. But anyway, so por
Speaker 7: Tony's just still a bit crook. So he's off again today,
Speaker 7: possibly tomorrow, we don't know, so I shouldn't even speculate
Speaker 7: as to when he will return. But he will return eventually,
Speaker 7: that we do know. But in the meantime, it's it's
Speaker 7: me here till five point thirty this morning with Jay
Speaker 7: of course. How was your weekend?
Speaker 9: Jay?
Speaker 8: Yeah, good things, Simon, it wasn't too bad. A beautiful
Speaker 8: day today. So we took a few steps outside and
Speaker 8: went and saw a local football match.
Speaker 7: That was good.
Speaker 8: My next door neighbor's son was playing, and yeah, it
Speaker 8: was good just to get outdoors and my son's soccer
Speaker 8: team played. But unfortunately my son wasn't feeling too well
Speaker 8: about an hour before, so he said, all right, let's
Speaker 8: cancel that one. So okay, couldn't make that.
Speaker 7: That's all right, the footy game though, any problem parents, No.
Speaker 8: So far so good?
Speaker 7: Yeah our way, yes, or you the problem?
Speaker 10: Parent?
Speaker 7: That's why you don't notice it.
Speaker 8: That's what happens, isn't it. Usually the parent doesn't know
Speaker 8: what what they're actually saying or doing. But so far,
Speaker 8: so good. We're pretty mellow, and you know that it
Speaker 8: doesn't go our way. That's okay. Yeah, the team played well.
Speaker 8: Yeah they in some age groups they don't keep score.
Speaker 8: I understand, which I think is I think is silly. No, yeah,
Speaker 8: I think so too. Now we keep school.
Speaker 7: I actually think it's important that kids do learn that
Speaker 7: you don't always win in life. That's correct. It doesn't
Speaker 7: set you up well for the future if you think
Speaker 7: you can just coast along.
Speaker 8: But it also helps to encourage them to try and
Speaker 8: to achieve something, to set a goal, and.
Speaker 7: If you're really suck at it, then then it teaches
Speaker 7: you give up and try something you're better at.
Speaker 8: Maybe it's time to have a sit down on the
Speaker 8: couch with the kids. Yeah, exactly explore out of the
Speaker 8: avenues of careers.
Speaker 7: Because I tried a few sports. I did one season
Speaker 7: of basketball and was absolutely useless as a basketball player.
Speaker 7: The kids in court would throw the ball at me.
Speaker 7: I just thought it's straight back. I was terrified because
Speaker 7: as soon as they thrown me the ball was running
Speaker 7: at you. Yes, I was terrified, so I threw it back.
Speaker 7: I played a season of soccer and there were games
Speaker 7: where I'd turn up and start off the field and
Speaker 7: never actually get on the field. So I must have
Speaker 7: been that bad.
Speaker 8: That was a bit like me with AFL. When I
Speaker 8: was in primary school. I was the only clean one
Speaker 8: at the end of the game, so the guys, you know,
Speaker 8: were sympathetic to me and sort of splashed a bit
Speaker 8: of mud on me. By the time I got back
Speaker 8: to school, I was all right too, you know. I
Speaker 8: was a bit more confident. I could step off the
Speaker 8: bus and people would see that I was a little
Speaker 8: bit dirty that playing exactly. It was just the guys
Speaker 8: that are pushing a bit of mud on me, so
Speaker 8: I got on the bus.
Speaker 7: Isn't it a bit sad? But did it affect you
Speaker 7: in a bad way?
Speaker 8: Not in a bad way. I didn't know the positions
Speaker 8: on the field.
Speaker 7: It was very bad.
Speaker 8: I was very I had a wonderful teacher who not
Speaker 8: only was my teacher during the day, but also in
Speaker 8: the sports teacher, so he knew, you know, how I worked,
Speaker 8: and just I knew I was very you know a
Speaker 8: cure and all that.
Speaker 7: It was a kid.
Speaker 8: So he really took me under his wing and knew
Speaker 8: just to be calm, just to be patient, and just
Speaker 8: to direct me. Stand over there where that guy is.
Speaker 7: We'll see. I knew see Carly, Carly kats and manass
Speaker 7: leaving the building people, and I I knew that I
Speaker 7: was useless at basketball, and I wasn't quite as useless
Speaker 7: as soccer. But I wasn't really any good there was.
Speaker 7: I remember one game only where for some reason, I
Speaker 7: just threw all caution to the wind and I just
Speaker 7: chased the ball NonStop around the field. I just did
Speaker 7: not stop. And I remember coming off the field exhausted
Speaker 7: and the coach saying, I had no idea you could
Speaker 7: actually do what you did. But then the next week
Speaker 7: I thought, I'm not going through all that again. I
Speaker 7: stood running, just stood there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, football, too much running in football.
Speaker 7: But it didn't hurt me to know that I wasn't
Speaker 7: bad at it. I moved on from those sports and
Speaker 7: I ended up playing tennis for a couple of years,
Speaker 7: and I was a taller in year seven. The start
Speaker 7: of year seven, I was sort of mid range. By
Speaker 7: the end of year seven, I was the second tallest
Speaker 7: in my year level, so I had an early sort
Speaker 7: of growth spurt, earlier than most of the other kids,
Speaker 7: and so I had a couple of years where that
Speaker 7: height as a tennis player gave me extra reach. My
Speaker 7: serve was better, and so I actually I did alright
Speaker 7: at tennis. I was never going to achieve anything really
Speaker 7: in tennis, but I found a sport that was good
Speaker 7: for me because the only thing coming at you was
Speaker 7: a ball. Yeah, not people.
Speaker 8: I love tennis and I played tennis too.
Speaker 7: Where did you play Lindydale Uniting Church? Right?
Speaker 8: I was my Maerenci Tennis Club. Okay, yeah, I did
Speaker 8: a couple of years there. I got to I started
Speaker 8: at section twenty four. It was sections twenty four, got
Speaker 8: down to section eight, okay, over a couple of years.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I loved it. Every Saturday morning I used
Speaker 8: to play. It's fantastic.
Speaker 7: Yeah. No, we went involved in any sort of real
Speaker 7: It was a local competition, but I have no idea
Speaker 7: of rankings and all of that sort of thing. But
Speaker 7: I also remember I used to play. My mum used
Speaker 7: to play tennis as well, so we had a mixed
Speaker 7: doubles thing going on. And ages didn't matter and stuff.
Speaker 7: So occasionally we'd go out in the court and never
Speaker 7: hit with my mum. She and I would partner up
Speaker 7: and take on other people. It's good. I loved. I
Speaker 7: love tennis to this day. It's the one sport I've
Speaker 7: really enjoyed.
Speaker 8: Do you still play?
Speaker 7: No, And I've spoken about it before. I'd love to.
Speaker 7: But and there's a tennis court not far away from me,
Speaker 7: and when I go for a walk along the walking track,
Speaker 7: there'll be people out there playing tennis, and so I
Speaker 7: look at it and go I should contact them, and,
Speaker 7: you know, and make an approach and say I'd like
Speaker 7: to play and get back into it because I'd really
Speaker 7: love to. But I just can't summon up the courage.
Speaker 7: I just can't do it.
Speaker 8: I find a wall and I just get a racket
Speaker 8: and a ball. Yeah, and if I go, that's all
Speaker 8: I need, just a wall and a ball and the
Speaker 8: racket and I just sit it against the wall for
Speaker 8: an hour or two. It's fantastic.
Speaker 7: Yeah, awesome, good one day. Yeah we should Yeah. During
Speaker 7: the outbreaks one, double, three, six, nine three, what was
Speaker 7: your sport of choice? Let's throw that into the conversation
Speaker 7: as well, I will say when we go to Adelaide,
Speaker 7: because at the moment where Melbourne only I understand. So
Speaker 7: when we go to Adelaide in about fifteen minutes time,
Speaker 7: Gavin Wood will join us to pay tribute to Marci Jones.
Speaker 7: I wanted to do something with Gavin because he was
Speaker 7: a big Marsi and the cookies fan knew them well
Speaker 7: and so it'd be lovely to chat to Gav and
Speaker 7: get his recollections of Marci. But I also we've just
Speaker 7: had normal row on which was actually Gavin suggested that
Speaker 7: to me, so it was very kind of Gavin to
Speaker 7: do that. So Gavin's going to join me so we
Speaker 7: can talk to Adelaide and then later on we'll replay
Speaker 7: it for Perth as well so we can get that happening.
Speaker 7: So that'll all happen in about fifteen minutes. But we've
Speaker 7: got time to take your calls before and of course after,
Speaker 7: because we're here right through till five point thirty. Nathan
Speaker 7: calls from Aliston. How are you, Nathan?
Speaker 11: It's such a saint, Simon. I know why Tony, I
Speaker 11: know why Tiny's having another day off because Melbourne's football
Speaker 11: tables yesterday.
Speaker 7: Did they so you reckon he's over the cold, but
Speaker 7: he is having an hissy fit because of his footy team.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's I think. That's what I think.
Speaker 7: Well, look, let's say let's hope it's that, because having
Speaker 7: a flu or anything is not a lot of fun.
Speaker 7: I don't know whether it's a flu or not that
Speaker 7: he's got, but obviously five days off is Yeah, it's
Speaker 7: a bit longer than we were expecting with just a
Speaker 7: head cold or something.
Speaker 11: And it's good to hear you again anyway on the
Speaker 11: not Overnight's thank you and who's going to say some it?
Speaker 11: So Yeah, that's what I was thinking you when you
Speaker 11: said you when you were saying about tiny, that's what
Speaker 11: I think. That's what I was thinking. You just have
Speaker 11: a hissy feet.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because Melbourne, because he he does love his demons,
Speaker 7: doesn't he.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And he's trying to get he's trying to get
Speaker 11: made to sing this Melbourne's same song too.
Speaker 7: He was trying to get her to sing it. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I wouldn't even know the words.
Speaker 11: He'd bet he wants me to repay it after him. Yeah,
Speaker 11: how about that? And you know that's one and I
Speaker 11: have tiff you've been bringing up just want to know
Speaker 11: her bathroom's going.
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, well, Tiffy usually gives us an update. Whenever
Speaker 7: we get on. We see a text or two from Tiffy,
Speaker 7: so she does keep us posted. If you're listening, Tiffy,
Speaker 7: Nathan wants to know how your.
Speaker 11: Bathroom is going, and also to say hello to everybody,

Speaker 12: Know.
Speaker 11: She never since Tony Tony maclay was only on his
Speaker 11: showman reading him and he's never running this ton before.
Speaker 7: She's probably just adjusted her hours so she could follow
Speaker 7: the other tiny with there's people love some and not others,
Speaker 7: and follow you blindly wherever someone else goes. I follow
Speaker 7: people I like, and if they change the timeslot, I'll
Speaker 7: change my way of listening and stuff. So yeah, that
Speaker 7: does happen, and callers come and go with programs, different programs,
Speaker 7: different hosts, etc. Good on your Nathan, lovely to hear
Speaker 7: from you, though, we've got to get a break. Out
Speaker 7: of the way, Helen and Leanne with you on the
Speaker 7: other side ahead of Gavin Wood when we cross to
Speaker 7: Adelaide back in a seat and Helen has called in
Speaker 7: from South Melbourne.
Speaker 13: Hello, Helen, Hi, Simon.
Speaker 14: I've just noticed that Rage on Channel two in about
Speaker 14: ten minutes is tonight set in New York in the seventies.
Speaker 14: So that's good, okaydy talking heads lou Reed people like that,
Speaker 14: So that's good. And I've been thinking about you at
Speaker 14: three am, and I think at about ten to three
Speaker 14: and then again at half past three. You need to
Speaker 14: play a song that just always makes you tap and
Speaker 14: move around. For me, it would be like Dire straight
Speaker 14: Sultan's of Swing. I could not sit still to that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Sultan's a swing good song.
Speaker 14: And it also reminded me of the opposite puzzle when
Speaker 14: I had this great idea about a year ago to
Speaker 14: listen to classical music to help me go to sleep.
Speaker 14: But my very first choice was Edward Griggs Hall of
Speaker 14: the Mountain King, and it starts off so quietly. It
Speaker 14: was perfect choice until it suddenly gets really really loud,
Speaker 14: and I'd totally forgotten that, so I never tried it again.
Speaker 14: It was such a failure.
Speaker 7: That's wonderful. I'm just trying to think of a song
Speaker 7: that really gets me up and going.
Speaker 14: We do, you know, we're just thinking about it will
Speaker 14: keep you up and going.
Speaker 7: Look, I'll be fine anyway because I've I've also got
Speaker 7: this I can of Mother to get me through, which
Speaker 7: I hadn't opened yet. Normally I opened that at midnight.
Speaker 4: Mother.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Mother. The energy drink. It's like ninety nine
Speaker 7: percent sugar, one percent something else that keeps you up right.
Speaker 14: And the other thing you need to buy for the
Speaker 14: future is aromatherapy oil Rosemary. If you need to swat
Speaker 14: or stay up, just smell it twice in five minute
Speaker 14: intervals and it wakes you up.
Speaker 7: Does it? Rosemary?
Speaker 14: Rosemary oil, aromatherapy? Okay, google that and double check me.
Speaker 14: But I've used a few years.
Speaker 7: Okay. I just normally what I do, and I did
Speaker 7: it before. I remember when last night I had a
Speaker 7: power nap, so Andrew came in at Andrew came in
Speaker 7: from our pre program meeting. We sat and chatted for
Speaker 7: about ten minutes, and then I put my feet up
Speaker 7: on the desk, leant back on my chair and just
Speaker 7: dozed off to sleep.
Speaker 14: That's fabulous.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And so I sat there in the studio having
Speaker 7: a snooze and Caroly Kats and Barnas came in later
Speaker 7: in the background.
Speaker 14: Sorry, I'll have a listen to you and I'll have
Speaker 14: Rage playing playing in the background.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, that sounds like a good mix. I think.
Speaker 14: All right, have a good evening.
Speaker 7: Beautiful, Thanks Helen, take care, cheers. Leanne's in Minneapili and.
Speaker 12: Hi, Simon and Jay.
Speaker 15: Do topics.
Speaker 12: Swimming.
Speaker 10: I was the best bat, but I did.
Speaker 12: Play nearly every.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and it was quite good at most of them.
Speaker 7: Some people are some people are just naturally gifted.
Speaker 12: I think I'm paying for it now.
Speaker 7: Well that's the other thing. Yeah, who was I listening
Speaker 7: to or talking to? Who was saying that people who
Speaker 7: are athletic when they're young and they jog and you know,
Speaker 7: and play sports and stuff, their knees always pack up
Speaker 7: and hips pack up. But people who are quite lazy
Speaker 7: as kids, their knees and stuff last a lot longer.
Speaker 7: It provided they don't get obese.
Speaker 12: It wasn't they. But I did my knee in touch football.
Speaker 12: My knee went backwards and I snapped my anterior crucied
Speaker 12: ligament and I was a foot from the tryline on
Speaker 12: the wing. Yeah, I didn't get to score. I was
Speaker 12: unpredictable as the speed I could run. This was a
Speaker 12: long time ago. And also, yeah, according to science if
Speaker 12: he studies, the happiest song is Good Vibrations by the
Speaker 12: Beach Boys. Because of his up, I'm thinking that might
Speaker 12: be up on them.
Speaker 15: No, it's ay.
Speaker 7: I love a Beach Boys song, but I go Sloop
Speaker 7: John Bee. Yeah, Sloop John b is a great one
Speaker 7: for me.
Speaker 12: I love that one too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my favorite, definitely, my absolute favorite. But yeah, good
Speaker 7: Vibrations I've always found rather irritating and it's been used
Speaker 7: in too many commercial campaigns as well, where they hijacked it.
Speaker 12: So well, who's your favorite band?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 7: Look, I was trying to think before of a song
Speaker 7: that gets me up and going, and there's one by
Speaker 7: Hall and Oates and I can't remember the name of
Speaker 7: the song. It's you you make my Dreams Come True?
Speaker 7: Or you make me Feel brand New.
Speaker 12: Or something you make my Dreams come true?
Speaker 17: Yeah, that one.
Speaker 7: That's probably the song that I that I would play
Speaker 7: if I wanted to play look myself up. Yeah, So
Speaker 7: what's it called? Do you make my dreams come true.
Speaker 12: I think so.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Also, you can do Don't Stop Me Now or Billy Jean.
Speaker 12: You've got so many songs too.
Speaker 7: I love Billy Jean, but it's not it's not one
Speaker 7: that would wake me up, and no one wants to
Speaker 7: No one needs to see me try and moon walk.
Speaker 12: Or what about don't stop You Getting Up?
Speaker 7: Yeah. I'm not a huge Michael Jackson fan. Look, I
Speaker 7: think I do like a lot of his stuff, but
Speaker 7: I'd never put I'd never sort of consciously choose a
Speaker 7: Michael Jackson song to play to you sort of get
Speaker 7: me going, and I that all the notes one would
Speaker 7: be the one.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, all right, I'll leave you to it now.
Speaker 12: I'm going to go have a shower and go to
Speaker 12: bed because I've been very moving stuff around all day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, bit tired, bits all h.
Speaker 12: Not sure yet, but I will be tomorrow.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's what it bites, That's what it hurts.
Speaker 7: All right, Good on you, Lee, Thanks for the call.
Speaker 7: Jim Z West, what's great, Hey, Jim.
Speaker 18: Good morning, Simon and Jay. First of all, the best
Speaker 18: of Tony once again, also condolences to Marcy Jones's family,
Speaker 18: and good morning Togethern. Hopefully it was a long time
Speaker 18: since me and Arthur spoke Togethern. I think it was
Speaker 18: on your show last we spoke to him. But good
Speaker 18: to hear Gavin again, but under not good circumstances because
Speaker 18: he's coming on because of Marcy Jones.
Speaker 7: Yes he is, yes, yes, so yeah, Like I.
Speaker 18: Said, condolences to her family. Also, good morning, and thank
Speaker 18: you to Nathan saying hello to me and Arthur. And
Speaker 18: I just wanted to say, you know all the Phantom
Speaker 18: of the Opera Forductions, Mine was Andrew Lloyd Webbers and
Speaker 18: Sarah Brightman for me was the best opera singer. But
Speaker 18: my elderly neighbor who's just moved out now because he's
Speaker 18: turned ninety one, when I had the DVD, I've never
Speaker 18: been to the productions, but I've seen her on DVD.
Speaker 18: He said he saw her on a few occasions the show,
Speaker 18: and he told me something that surprised me about Sarah Brightman.
Speaker 18: He said, in her younger days, before she was an
Speaker 18: opera singer for a little while, she was a disco
Speaker 18: dancer and disco singer. In her younger days for a
Speaker 18: little while.
Speaker 7: What was she really?
Speaker 18: That's what my elderly neighbors said to me, I'll go
Speaker 18: with I never rather surprising, how about that?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I had no idea of that.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I just thought i'd mention it. I know, I
Speaker 18: think I've heard you say like Sarah Brightman or maybe
Speaker 18: I'm maybe he liked someone else. But yeah, I was
Speaker 18: rather surprised when my elderly neighbor told me that. But
Speaker 18: he told me I had seen a few times in
Speaker 18: the concerts. Who's your fan the best Phantom of the
Speaker 18: Opera singer? Sign?
Speaker 7: Look, well, i'd have to go. When I think of Phantom,
Speaker 7: I think of Anthony Warlow as Sarah Brightman, of course, yes,
Speaker 7: as the as the female leader. I don't think you can.
Speaker 7: You can probably beat Marina Pryor.
Speaker 18: I don't know if I've seen her version of opera.
Speaker 7: No, but if anyone could do it in this country,
Speaker 7: it would be Marina Pryor that i'd I'd also love
Speaker 7: to see Sylvie Palladino have a crack at it too.
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think I saw Marina Pryor when I came
Speaker 18: to one of Dennis's Christmas by candbell lights. You and
Speaker 18: you and Philip with ours trying to wave to you
Speaker 18: but you didn't know was maker, and I was talking
Speaker 18: to you. Then you said it was the soundproof booth,
Speaker 18: which I forgot to be. So you can hear what
Speaker 18: yaving about.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're in a caravan when we do the outside
Speaker 7: broadcast on Christmas Eve. So if you're ever there again
Speaker 7: when we do the Christmas Eve carols by candlelight, come
Speaker 7: around and bash on the door and say hello.
Speaker 18: Okay, and one more thing, Simon before I go, I
Speaker 18: was looking through my things to find something. I found
Speaker 18: one of your Simon Allen Sos playing cards. And I
Speaker 18: found the notepad, the Simon Own Show notepad. Yes, I
Speaker 18: also found from twenty twenty two when I think Philip
Speaker 18: Wrohota says, dear Jim and Arthur. Simon is not writing
Speaker 18: letters this year, but Merry Christmas from me and Archie.
Speaker 18: When he's wearing the Christmas pattern and his pajamas, he
Speaker 18: is very cute about to bid into a cookie. And
Speaker 18: there's you and Philip been black and white on one side,
Speaker 18: Simon Owen Show.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I found that I forgot I had.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd forgotten I did that one.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll good on you. Jim, good good, memories too.
Speaker 7: I'm looking at what I'm going to do for merchandise
Speaker 7: for the show for next season because I've run I
Speaker 7: run out of the cards very quickly because the Boss
Speaker 7: made me do all those quizzes, the Sydney Boss. But
Speaker 7: I've been looking at what I'm going to do for
Speaker 7: the next ones. I'm not sure I might do drink coasters.
Speaker 7: Do people still use those anymore? I don't know. All
Speaker 7: right now one double three six nine three. Well, A
Speaker 7: pause calls momentarily now because we're going to take a
Speaker 7: break very shortly. Adelaide are going to come on board
Speaker 7: out of the other side of the break, and we'll
Speaker 7: have Gavin Wood with us because he's going to come
Speaker 7: on and reminisce about Marcy Jones, who of course sadly
Speaker 7: passed away on well two days away, two days ago
Speaker 7: now it was, so we'll do all that after this. Well,
Speaker 7: good morning to everyone listening through five double A. It's
Speaker 7: good to have you on board. Simon Owen's in the
Speaker 7: chair again this morning for Tony McManus. Tony's still a
Speaker 7: little on the unwell side. He will be, but it's
Speaker 7: a question of when is what we thought was just
Speaker 7: a little cold is obviously lingering, but he's in good spirits.
Speaker 7: We texted each other earlier yesterday evening and he will
Speaker 7: be fine. But I'm here in the meantime until he
Speaker 7: gets back on deck. So it's good to be with you.
Speaker 7: And you can call any time of course on one
Speaker 7: double three six nine three, and you can text as well.
Speaker 7: Zero four double seven six nine three six nine three.
Speaker 7: Now to start the show off this morning. Marcy Jones
Speaker 7: was a great a great singer, a popular singer, much
Speaker 7: loved in the music industry, and she sadly passed away.
Speaker 7: Now that it's Monday morning, it was two days ago
Speaker 7: she passed away on Saturday. One of those who knew
Speaker 7: and adore and loved Marcy Jones is the legend who
Speaker 7: is Gavin Wood from Countdown Fame nationally and also and
Speaker 7: also a star of many years as well. Gavin would
Speaker 7: good morning to you.
Speaker 13: See they throw that legend word around quite easily, don't they.
Speaker 13: How are you mate, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 7: How are you going?
Speaker 19: Oh?
Speaker 13: Look, it's been an awful couple of days. When I
Speaker 13: heard the news about mass she was such a life force,
Speaker 13: beautiful woman. I've known her for many many years. I
Speaker 13: heard your interview with Normy row earlier on and and
Speaker 13: you know they were lifelong friends. And you know I
Speaker 13: consider that with mass because when I was a boy,
Speaker 13: even before I got into radio up in Brisbane, I
Speaker 13: used to go to the Brisbane Ecker They and they
Speaker 13: used to they used to have the tent shows there
Speaker 13: with the Robbie Snowden and Ronnie Burns and Normy Rowe
Speaker 13: and Marsy and the Cookies. So as a young young
Speaker 13: boy I go to the show and that it was
Speaker 13: a high stage, and of course Marsy and the Cookies
Speaker 13: would come out with these very short mini dresses on.
Speaker 13: Well it turned me on as a young boy, I
Speaker 13: can tell you. And it even ended It even ended
Speaker 13: up in Marcy's book. She said Gavin would just to
Speaker 13: come come to our shows and look up our dresses,
Speaker 13: which was true.
Speaker 7: Well it's true. No point denying it. Teenage boys, that's
Speaker 7: it's you know, you've got two brains.
Speaker 13: No, she looks. She was marvelous. I remember going to
Speaker 13: a concert once, I think it was out of Dorset
Speaker 13: Gardens or something like that, and I got there and
Speaker 13: she was already on stage singing, So I thought, oh,
Speaker 13: I'll just sit down the back and watch the show. Well,
Speaker 13: halfway through the next song, she's walked off the stage
Speaker 13: and she's walked all around through the crowd, right to
Speaker 13: me and sat on my lap ah lovely while she's
Speaker 13: still singing the song. You know, just she was just
Speaker 13: one of those beautiful, beautiful people, and she you know,
Speaker 13: she always gave a leg up to all you know,
Speaker 13: rising stars. You know, she was just so supportive and
Speaker 13: looks as normally said, she will be so missed. You
Speaker 13: know that there was only ever one Marcy Jones, and
Speaker 13: I know who's hurting right now, and that's her husband, Murray,
Speaker 13: and the kids and also the cookies. You know, there
Speaker 13: are three girls from Brisbane, Margaret, Wendy and Beverly, three
Speaker 13: beautiful girls, and the four of them used to create
Speaker 13: music magic.
Speaker 7: I was looking at Facebook earlier yesterday and there were
Speaker 7: of course many tributes going up there, and the one
Speaker 7: that I thought was most touching in a way was
Speaker 7: actually I don't remember the lady's name, but she was
Speaker 7: Marsy's daughter in law, and I thought, when the in
Speaker 7: laws are singing your praises, that's pretty good.
Speaker 13: Look at everybody loved Mars. You know, she was one
Speaker 13: of those people you'd walk into the room, into a
Speaker 13: big room, and all of a sudden, all the attention
Speaker 13: would be on her, and she would get everybody together
Speaker 13: in the room. She was just one of those personalities,
Speaker 13: and she had it from the get go, you know,
Speaker 13: she was just her personality was just so right and vivid,
Speaker 13: and she always had a smile on her face, and
Speaker 13: those big eyes would glint at you and smile and
Speaker 13: and you just loved her.
Speaker 7: She normally sort of indicated that she was quite happy
Speaker 7: to give an opinion, which which can be code. Would
Speaker 7: it would it be fair to say that that she
Speaker 7: would take no nonsense? Or would she or not? Was
Speaker 7: I reading a bit too much into what Normy said there?
Speaker 13: Well, no, you've got to remember what Normy told you
Speaker 13: was you know, she was probably the only girl in
Speaker 13: Melbourne singing with Normy going around there, and you had
Speaker 13: to be tough if you're the only girl on the show.
Speaker 13: So she learned very very quickly to assert herself and
Speaker 13: also to say now you should be doing this. She
Speaker 13: was always good giving the advice, but you know, you
Speaker 13: took it with great grace because she had you know,
Speaker 13: she had her hard, biggest Texas and unfortunately her heart
Speaker 13: gave away and end, you know, with the leukemia and
Speaker 13: all of that, and it's just sad, you know when
Speaker 13: you consider that she passed away at Bauxhill Hospital, which
Speaker 13: is two streets from me and you, yeah.
Speaker 7: We just live around the corner. I didn't realize that
Speaker 7: that's where she was. I didn't.
Speaker 13: I didn't either until normally tell me when I rang.
Speaker 7: Him, Well, that would upset you because you're an adorer,
Speaker 7: as so many do, and if you knew you would
Speaker 7: have been a visit, I would assume.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well yeah, but you know it's like Philip Brady,
Speaker 13: you know when he was in hospital, you know, every
Speaker 13: you know, what do you have seventeen visitors in one day?
Speaker 13: And they said, I said, people in here don't have
Speaker 13: seventeen visitors in a year. Yeah, you know, so the
Speaker 13: last thing you want to do is be a menace.
Speaker 13: And you know, and I unfortunately had been in that
Speaker 13: hospital and sometimes you just don't want any visitors.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, that's that's true too. Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, she's going to be missed, mate. She's she's just
Speaker 13: glorious and she was so happy plan her big eightyeth
Speaker 13: bash in you know, in a couple of weeks time.
Speaker 13: You know, we're going to the bowling club and we're
Speaker 13: all going to have a big celebration.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I saw a post on that as well, where
Speaker 7: she where she had announced that she was going to
Speaker 7: be organizing that and looking forward to it. And I've
Speaker 7: read that and thought, oh, that's that's actually not that
Speaker 7: far away. How devastating.
Speaker 13: Yeah, only only two weeks of operadio birthday, and.
Speaker 7: I sort of still hope that maybe that will go
Speaker 7: ahead in her honor. That would be a lovely thing too,
Speaker 7: if everyone did get together to celebrate Marci.
Speaker 13: Oh look, I'm sure the wake will be enormous.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 13: And you know it's uh, it's you know, it's just mat.
Speaker 13: We're all in line. You know, we've all got numbers
Speaker 13: and we just don't know who's going to drop off next.
Speaker 13: So you know, my advice to everyone is to get
Speaker 13: regular blood tests, yes, and take care of yourself and
Speaker 13: enjoy every day as much as you can on this earth.
Speaker 7: That's very good advice, indeed, Marcy, Like Philip Brady, my
Speaker 7: former on air partner, I guess look, it's almost a
Speaker 7: terrible thing to say. And I said this to Normi
Speaker 7: yesterday afternoon. Philip led a bit of a charmed life.
Speaker 7: You know, he had a great life and a great career,
Speaker 7: loads of friends, and I said, even he even sadly
Speaker 7: passed the right way. It's tough for those left behind.
Speaker 7: But phil phil lived and walked on this planet for
Speaker 7: nearly eighty six years, and he got his diagnosis in
Speaker 7: December and was gone two months later, whereas other people
Speaker 7: have years long battles, health battles before they finally go.
Speaker 7: And Normally said, well, that's pretty much true of Marcy
Speaker 7: as well, in that she had a diagnosis and she
Speaker 7: was and it's taken her very quickly. But yeah, it's
Speaker 7: harder for those left behind. But it's a small mercy,
Speaker 7: I guess as it is that you know that we're
Speaker 7: not We're not having this conversation three years from now
Speaker 7: after Marcy had a slow and painful decline.
Speaker 13: So there's yeah, thank thank the Lord for that. I mean,
Speaker 13: it's it's it's you know, it's sad. But you know
Speaker 13: the worst thing about death is the people that you
Speaker 13: leave behind. Yeah, so they're the ones that are devastated,
Speaker 13: they're the ones that have got to pick up the
Speaker 13: pieces and go on with happy, happy memories. And look,
Speaker 13: it's going to be it's going to be a great
Speaker 13: celebration of Marcy's life, and it's going to be tough
Speaker 13: for all of us because we've known this lady for
Speaker 13: so long.
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 13: And oh and just to just to correct you a
Speaker 13: little bit or tell you, Uptight was compared by Ross D. Wiley, Yes,
Speaker 13: and he did. He also swung into Happening seventy and
Speaker 13: he compared Happening seventy and then Jeff Phillips took over
Speaker 13: Happening seventy one and onwards.
Speaker 7: Ah right, okay, yes, so the show evolved from month
Speaker 7: the other. Okay, yeah, yeah, that's well, that fixes Andrew's confusion. Ahi.
Speaker 7: Of course I was too young to know any of us.
Speaker 13: Well, that's that's why you need Andrew and me to
Speaker 13: help you.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 13: I can, if you've got time, I can tell you
Speaker 13: a great Rosty Whyley story.
Speaker 7: Yep. Please.
Speaker 13: I was in Abandoned Brisbane, a young band, you know,
Speaker 13: before I got into radio, and we got the we
Speaker 13: got the gig of back backing all the big Southern
Speaker 13: artists coming up, and it was the big Warana festival.
Speaker 13: There was ten thousand people on Coronation Drive in Brisbane
Speaker 13: and we and our band was on the back of
Speaker 13: a semi trailer. And Rossy Wiley, of course, had just
Speaker 13: had the big number one song, The Star. So he
Speaker 13: was a local boy, made good Brittany boy going down
Speaker 13: to Melbourne, gets his own television show and that gets
Speaker 13: the number one. So he's hotter than hell. So he's
Speaker 13: the last act on and the band's going, you know, backing.
Speaker 13: I didn't plan the instruments. I was a singer, so
Speaker 13: I was side stage watching all this unfold. Rossy Wiley
Speaker 13: comes on and the crowd goes crazy, right, and he
Speaker 13: sings a few songs and all of a sudden they
Speaker 13: start chanting the Star, the Star, this Star, and so
Speaker 13: he says, to my bad, well we better do it.
Speaker 13: So he goes one tooth three, one tooth three, and
Speaker 13: you know what, my band couldn't get the timing. Oh really,
Speaker 13: they just couldn't get it right. And we had a
Speaker 13: young guitarist who was sweating blood, he really was, and
Speaker 13: he said, well, look let's try that again. And then
Speaker 13: we tried three times and the band still couldn't get
Speaker 13: it right. There's ten thousand people screaming the star. He said, look,
Speaker 13: we won't do that, let's do this one. And he
Speaker 13: did running bear, yes, and absolutely brained them and killed
Speaker 13: them and they forgot about the star.
Speaker 15: Ah.
Speaker 7: That is wonderful.
Speaker 13: Now that's a showman for you.
Speaker 7: That is what a pro that's a wonderful story. Look,
Speaker 7: I have to wind you up. We've got to get
Speaker 7: to a break. But it's been lovely chatting to you.
Speaker 7: And next time I'm filling in, we'll have to get you.
Speaker 7: Have to get you on and just reminisce about other
Speaker 7: stuff as well.
Speaker 13: Because all right, lunch at the Boxshell Hospital, or have
Speaker 13: a drink from Mars.
Speaker 7: Yeah the r S l Yes, oh we could. We
Speaker 7: could sit in an emergency check up. Well we're there.
Speaker 13: The good thing is the hospitals right across the road,
Speaker 13: so if anything happens, we can just walk.
Speaker 7: Across if we if we drink too much, yes exactly.
Speaker 7: It's always a pleasure. Thank you so much.
Speaker 13: Good on anybody, Thanks Gavin would.
Speaker 7: And now we'll we'll get back to your calls soon ish.
Speaker 7: But you've got on the screen here, Jay that gave
Speaker 7: had a song from Martie. I wasn't looking at the screen.
Speaker 7: I was too busy enjoying the chat with Gav. What
Speaker 7: was the song that Marsi and the Cookies had some
Speaker 7: great songs.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right, I would if I could.
Speaker 7: I would if I call the song.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not too familiar with it myself, okay, but
Speaker 8: yeah you have. I was saying that it's a it's
Speaker 8: a real good one from the band and one that
Speaker 8: he would like to to play.
Speaker 7: Well. I've made the assumption, of course, that I'm fifty three,
Speaker 7: you're fifty two.
Speaker 8: I think fifty one on Thursday fifty one.
Speaker 7: Sorry, Yeah, I'm prematurely aging him. You and I are
Speaker 7: actually probably a little too young to really remember Marcie
Speaker 7: Jones and the Cookies. I've sort of made the assumption
Speaker 7: that most people listening would be very familiar with their work.
Speaker 7: But if you're not, we've just been paying tribute to
Speaker 7: Marcie who's passed away. Here is some of her work.
Speaker 1: Said say no said.
Speaker 8: Did you change from.
Speaker 21: The see.
Speaker 1: Say every ten? You are the same as you.
Speaker 7: Marcy Jones and the Cookies. I would if I could,
Speaker 7: And I was gonna say on double t f M
Speaker 7: playing the best mix of the old and the new.
Speaker 7: Thank you Gab for the lovely chat. And there we go.
Speaker 7: That's Marcy Jones, who sadly passed away two days ago.
Speaker 7: Later on this morning, if I get time, Andrew and
Speaker 7: I interviewed her only three months ago. I remember when
Speaker 7: if we get time, Well WePlay that a little later
Speaker 7: on this morning, Leo's on the road. Gooday Leo.
Speaker 16: God has been pretty busy so far, but it's slowed
Speaker 16: down now.
Speaker 7: Yep, yep.
Speaker 22: Yes, Just going back to what your.
Speaker 23: Last guest said, that you have to live every day
Speaker 23: for us, you know all that's worth because as most
Speaker 23: people know, when I lost my wife's overseas, you just
Speaker 23: don't know when it's going to happen or how it's.
Speaker 24: Going to happen.
Speaker 16: And we all have a used by date, and yeah,
Speaker 16: it doesn't.
Speaker 23: It's not stamped on my forehead. Unfortunately, if it was,
Speaker 23: probably more people would enjoy their lives a lot, more
Speaker 23: wouldn't worries much.
Speaker 7: That's the thing, isn't it. Imagine if you knew the
Speaker 7: day that you were going to die, wouldn't we live
Speaker 7: our lives differently?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 23: Yes, there was a film once I saw that there
Speaker 23: was a we've got an Indian. You're saying that if
Speaker 23: I knew you saw something that he said, he dreamt
Speaker 23: many times of that's where he's going to die. If
Speaker 23: he knew when it was, he would have been a
Speaker 23: much fierce of warrior, much better person, much better husband.
Speaker 23: And you just don't know it's going to happen. It's
Speaker 23: going to there's no way we can sort of avoid it,
Speaker 23: even though those people who try with the we got cryogenics, etc.
Speaker 23: They eventually, I mean, it's not even possible yet, and
Speaker 23: maybe one day it will be. But still will it
Speaker 23: be to the same person, that's the question.
Speaker 7: Yeah, once you're gone and you wake up again, you
Speaker 7: know with cryogenics. But if they ever get that technology
Speaker 7: working that that would actually be a very scary time.
Speaker 7: I think imagine waking up one hundred two hundred years
Speaker 7: from now just be terrifying. Now, thankfully we've got exqueze
Speaker 7: in another break before news. News is coming up very
Speaker 7: very shortly. Then it's straight back to you one double
Speaker 7: three six nine three. Now the board is empty and
Speaker 7: fair enough to We've been paying tribute to Marcy Jones
Speaker 7: this last half hour, but it's all about you. We
Speaker 7: did touch in the first half hour on what was
Speaker 7: your sport? So we'll revisit that. I don't even remember
Speaker 7: how we even got there, but we'll talk about that
Speaker 7: and other things. Give us a call.
Speaker 4: Now. This is a stranguloban eyed with Simon Owen's.
Speaker 7: Good choice of song. Jay, I'm wondering.
Speaker 1: In my so, what's.
Speaker 4: What's not?
Speaker 1: What's nice? A sound scout check it out. It's your son,
Speaker 1: doesn't give me away?
Speaker 16: You lady rules?
Speaker 21: And what's not?
Speaker 1: What's not? What's not?
Speaker 25: Sound?
Speaker 14: What what.
Speaker 1: They say? They say?
Speaker 7: I I just love the hood of your race. You've
Speaker 7: never seen them in concert. Every time I see that
Speaker 7: they're playing somewhere locally, it always coincides with when I'm working.
Speaker 7: And then there's nights where I go it's a Friday night,
Speaker 7: I'm not working because there's footy on and they're playing
Speaker 7: at such and such a place, and then I get
Speaker 7: the call during the week from our techs. We're a
Speaker 7: bit short staff for footy on Friday night, you were
Speaker 7: able to work, So I've never been able to actually
Speaker 7: see the Hoodoo gurus. You're a fan, Jay, obviously you've
Speaker 7: chosen the music.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not a huge fan like yourself. But I
Speaker 8: certainly like the music of Huda Gurus.
Speaker 7: I just that's we were talking earlier with about the
Speaker 7: songs that perk you up, gets you energized. That's definitely
Speaker 7: one for me. And great film clip too. Dave Faukner,
Speaker 7: for some reason, looked good in those religious clothes as
Speaker 7: he was dancing around. Yes, it was in purple.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're all lined up in different costumes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then they do that thing that was popular
Speaker 7: in the eighties where they interchange someone's one person's head
Speaker 7: on another person's bodies. Yeah, it was a great film clip.
Speaker 7: What's my scene?
Speaker 8: You need to talk to them and say, look, can
Speaker 8: you plan your tour and dates and times around my.
Speaker 7: Shows or get them to come in and perform live
Speaker 7: so I don't even have to go anywhere. I can
Speaker 7: actually get paid to see them if they come in studio.
Speaker 8: A bit of an acoustic session.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, that'd be great. So calls. Let's get back
Speaker 7: to that. I think it was Helen's suggestion, wasn't it.
Speaker 7: Helen was saying earlier about songs that perk you up?
Speaker 7: So what's yours? One, double, three, six, nine three? Songs
Speaker 7: that really sort of give you a lift and perk
Speaker 7: you up and get you going. I'd love to take
Speaker 7: your calls on that. Jay and I also at the
Speaker 7: top of last hour spoke about sport. I can't remember
Speaker 7: how we got onto the topic, but it turns out
Speaker 7: that neither of us were particularly good at sport, but
Speaker 7: we both sort of fell into tennis. So what was
Speaker 7: your sport? What were you Were you actually any good
Speaker 7: out of sport? Did you win? What was your sporting
Speaker 7: achievement your great sporting achievement. I tell you what my
Speaker 7: worst sporting achievement was. Jay. I got knocked out playing
Speaker 7: soccer at school soccer. I was playing soccer and the
Speaker 7: tallest kid in my year level, Brad Anderson, was on
Speaker 7: the opposite team, and he was running toward me. I'm
Speaker 7: standing there trying to stop him from kicking the ball
Speaker 7: past me, and he's swung that enormous leg of his
Speaker 7: back booted the ball with all of his might, and
Speaker 7: it went smack straight into my face. And all I
Speaker 7: remember is the ball hitting my face, And the next
Speaker 7: thing I remember is seeing a sea of faces looking
Speaker 7: at me as I was laying prone on the grass
Speaker 7: and everyone was looking down at me to see if
Speaker 7: I was okay.
Speaker 8: Did you have a couple of seconds where went green?
Speaker 7: No, I don't remember that.
Speaker 8: It must be different for everyone.
Speaker 15: No.
Speaker 7: It was like, we'll get your story to say. But yeah,
Speaker 7: I don't remember falling. I don't remember anything else. I
Speaker 7: remember the ball and then seeing people. Yes, and then
Speaker 7: I realized, oh, I'm lying down, And that's when I
Speaker 7: realized I must have been knocked out. And I don't know.
Speaker 7: I never actually asked how long have I been out
Speaker 7: for anything like that, so I assume it was just,
Speaker 7: you know, a second, like I was probably stunned more
Speaker 7: than knocked unconscious. Just sounds better to say you're knocked out.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I never actually asked. I could have been
Speaker 7: lying there for a minute for all I know.
Speaker 8: But Brad was he the hero of the soccer football
Speaker 8: fraternity at that time.
Speaker 7: Well, I think I did a pretty good job of
Speaker 7: blocking the kick.
Speaker 8: I can just pitch are Brad you know, the big,
Speaker 8: strong Brad with the blonde flowing hair.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. It was blonde flowing. I
Speaker 7: think it was fairly short hair, but yeah, he was
Speaker 7: blonde and muscular. Yeah, like flash, Yeah, someone was your
Speaker 7: you got knocked out as well?
Speaker 8: Did you the same thing? We were playing. I was
Speaker 8: in Queensland at the time. I had a community game
Speaker 8: of soccer and there was this other guy. We were
Speaker 8: running for the ball on the on one of the
Speaker 8: sides of the field and we were coming to the
Speaker 8: line and he was looking at me and I was
Speaker 8: looking at him. He wasn't stopping. I wasn't stopping. We
Speaker 8: were going straight for the ball and next minute, next minute,
Speaker 8: I was on the ground and all I remember is
Speaker 8: getting to the ball and then laying and then sitting up. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and then a friend coming over and saying you all right?
Speaker 7: Are you okay?
Speaker 8: And in that time everything spent green for some reason.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 8: When I was sitting up, everything just went green. And
Speaker 8: that's all I remember. I could I saw him running off,
Speaker 8: he was fine. Somewhere I hit him in some part
Speaker 8: of his body.
Speaker 7: Your head, his knee, could be anything like that, and.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just wake up a couple of seconds later.
Speaker 8: It was very strange, fabulous. Gee. I didn't know it. Well,
Speaker 8: hurt it a little bit, but I didn't even feel
Speaker 8: the impact it.
Speaker 7: No, I don't particularly remember being in pain with mine either.
Speaker 8: No, just happens and then you wake up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and then on your go. In this day and age,
Speaker 7: of course, there'd be reports, you know, paperwork to fill
Speaker 7: out and all that sort of thing at a school now,
Speaker 7: but you have to.
Speaker 8: Stop the game.
Speaker 7: Yeah, back then the pe teacher comes over. You're right, mate, Yeah,
Speaker 7: you'll be all right, Come on up here, get yeah,
Speaker 7: you'll be a right get up. What was your sporting injury?
Speaker 7: There's a topic as well one double three six nine three.
Speaker 7: You can also text on zero four double seven six
Speaker 7: nine three six nine three if you like. But I'd
Speaker 7: love to hear your sporting injury calls. That'd be great too.
Speaker 7: A couple of texts that have come through. Will Nathan
Speaker 7: be joining the program? No, not tonight. Nathan will be
Speaker 7: in tomorrow, so his Monday night into Tuesday morning, not
Speaker 7: Sunday into Monday. We had the choice at high school,
Speaker 7: sports or maths in the library. I opted for maths,
Speaker 7: says Maureen. Thank you, Maureen, Yes, that was sort of.
Speaker 7: I opted for school productions. Theater. Acting on stage was
Speaker 7: more my sort of thing. I would have loved to
Speaker 7: have I joined the choir and all that as well.
Speaker 7: I would have loved to have I just don't have
Speaker 7: the I don't have a great singing voice. I can
Speaker 7: hold a note, but I don't have a great singing voice.

Speaker 7: you up. What was your sport and what was your
Speaker 7: sporting injury? We'd love you. Was I hearing too songs?
Speaker 7: Then it sounds I thought I heard two songs in
Speaker 7: my headphones. That's quite bizarre. No, that it could be
Speaker 7: my headphones playing up or I just played something on
Speaker 7: my computer accidentally as we were coming out of the
Speaker 7: ad break one double three six nine three. Anything you
Speaker 7: wish to speak about this morning, you're more than welcome
Speaker 7: to do so. Leanne is in Minneapoli.
Speaker 12: An Hi, Simon. I've got a further two injuries for resports. Yeah,
Speaker 12: I like first one about fourteen. I was about fourteen.
Speaker 12: We were practicing for hockey my teammate decides to take
Speaker 12: a full golf swing and swinger stick into my jaw
Speaker 12: and it didn't It didn't break the jaw. However, I
Speaker 12: can't yawn. Probably I get to the peak of a
Speaker 12: yawn and I can't let it out and take me
Speaker 12: about twenty yawns to get one out. Oh really, And
Speaker 12: yeah it's a hang as hell. But otherwise and my
Speaker 12: jaw was flying the other one. You know, I told
Speaker 12: you about my knee with the touch football. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 12: when I went to the hospital, the nurse doctor or
Speaker 12: nurse said to me, did you know you got an
Speaker 12: old fracture?
Speaker 9: I said no.
Speaker 12: They said, oh, it's really old, and I said no,
Speaker 12: I can't remember. And I was talking to a family
Speaker 12: relative and she said, I remember when you did that.
Speaker 12: I heard this crack and I went knees down on
Speaker 12: the ice jokingly, and I factured the tip of my
Speaker 12: kneecap and didn't know about it for thirteen years.
Speaker 7: Wow, so you were probably in pain but just didn't
Speaker 7: sort of no.
Speaker 12: No pain, no pain, okay, no pain with it?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 12: Who was weird when she said, I remember you call
Speaker 12: it like purposely falling on my knees and yeah she
Speaker 12: heard a crack.
Speaker 7: So yeah, well my dad only has one kneecap. He
Speaker 7: lost one in a car accident.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, so it's is his knee buckle.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, it works fine, but yeah, there's just
Speaker 7: no knee cap on it anymore. Then that happened. That
Speaker 7: happened probably close to thirty five forty years ago, I
Speaker 7: would think too. But yeah, it was just smashed up.
Speaker 7: So they just took it all out. And I guess
Speaker 7: he didn't need a replacement or anything. Maybe we can
Speaker 7: live without him. I don't know what the story was,
Speaker 7: but yeah, he's not got a knee cap in one knee.
Speaker 12: I also dislocated my big go at taekwondo. I punched
Speaker 12: as my neighbor. She punched as I kicked, and me
Speaker 12: being left handed, I don't know. I kicked with my
Speaker 12: right leg and hit her right arm. She had a
Speaker 12: massive bruise under her arm, and I dislocated my toe.
Speaker 10: It was black and blue.
Speaker 7: You dislocated your toe on her arm?
Speaker 25: Yep, yep.
Speaker 12: We contacted and we weren't meant.
Speaker 7: To wonderful.
Speaker 10: It later?
Speaker 7: Did you have to click it back in or something?
Speaker 7: Did you?

Speaker 7: He was a staple in the Keith McGowan era, up
Speaker 7: right up there with Andre Rieu and who else did
Speaker 7: Keith used to play? I used to buy a wonderful comedian,
Speaker 7: nol Viginity. Nol Viginity was a very funny comic. Never
Speaker 7: used a bad word in his life, never told about
Speaker 7: a foul joke or an off color joke. It was
Speaker 7: all just good, gentle, lovely Irish humor with you told beautifully,
Speaker 7: very clever comedian. He was Arthur's in Westwoods, Gray Good Arthur.
Speaker 24: Good morning, Simon and Jay. It's a good song, beautiful Sunday.
Speaker 24: It was my month's favorite song. But she liked the
Speaker 24: version that Daniel Boone did if you remember as.
Speaker 7: Well, which was probably the hit, was it? Yeah?
Speaker 24: Yeah, it was a really good song.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 24: I played a bit of soccer in school, but I
Speaker 24: didn't really get injuries. Timmy Kare, I won't mention that
Speaker 24: I've spoken about it too much, but the song gives
Speaker 24: me a lift. Too many to go on, but I
Speaker 24: love sky Ilk's Mercedes Ladies Living in the Summis and
Speaker 24: Dave Dobbins Slice of Heaven.
Speaker 7: Oh great song, Dave Dobbin Slice of Heaven.
Speaker 12: Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 24: Pick that one. It's too many to go on, as
Speaker 24: you know, but I got great memories for me that song.
Speaker 24: That's why.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what are the memories.
Speaker 24: I was playing? Everyone was happier then.
Speaker 18: There was no COVID.
Speaker 24: Everyone was just happy and meet greet and people just partying.
Speaker 24: The more pleasant what's going on today is it wasn't
Speaker 24: going on then, and everyone was just much friendlier.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's fair enough. Dave Dobbin was sort of in
Speaker 7: Australia was almost like a one hit wonder. He did
Speaker 7: have a second song that was also know that also charted,
Speaker 7: which was You Ought to Be in Love from the
Speaker 7: soundtrack of of foot Rock Flats the movie. But he's
Speaker 7: primarily remembered here in Australia by that, but in New Zealand,
Speaker 7: where he's from, he's had hit after hit after hit.
Speaker 7: He's been huge for years in New Zealand.
Speaker 24: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. It was the one h'd wonder,
Speaker 24: like most of the split ends from New Zealand, like
Speaker 24: the Finns.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the finn brothers. Yeah, yeah, they've had a lot
Speaker 7: of success on both sides of the ditch.
Speaker 24: Yeah, So I picked that big because it was just
Speaker 24: a one off, virtually like and pleasant memories during the time.
Speaker 24: So well, I hear it, but there's timidated to go on,
Speaker 24: as you know. But yeah's something I haven't heard for
Speaker 24: a while, so I picked that one.
Speaker 7: Well, we'll get Jay to dig it out. So Slice
Speaker 7: of Heaven by Dave Dobbin, there's there's a short version
Speaker 7: and a long version. I love the longer version because
Speaker 7: it starts off with the dar Dar Dars. It was
Speaker 7: Dave Dobbin and herbs Herbs, that's it, Yes, but that
Speaker 7: Daddy really sort of gave it a real boost.
Speaker 24: I thought, yeah, absolutely right. I've got the short version
Speaker 24: and the longer version on the records in my collections.
Speaker 24: By the way, it's good to hear you talk to
Speaker 24: Gavin against Hello Gavin, and condolences to Master Jones and
Speaker 24: the family and everything. Was great to hear Gavin on
Speaker 24: Preyer W again.
Speaker 7: Yeah he's a champion Gavin. He's a great bloke and
Speaker 7: a great broadcaster and yeah, love him dearly. He is
Speaker 7: a fabulous guy.
Speaker 24: Do you think you'll get him on your program again
Speaker 24: sometime or.
Speaker 7: Look, I would love to. There's complications is probably the
Speaker 7: easiest way to put it, not on Gavin's part, but
Speaker 7: just in just off air, behind the scenes stuff that
Speaker 7: that that doesn't quite work out. I'm sort of being cryptic,
Speaker 7: but I'm generally very open about everything. But you know,
Speaker 7: there's discussions I have with management sometimes don't sort of
Speaker 7: shouldn't be so I do have to respect management sometimes
Speaker 7: not probably more often than I do.
Speaker 24: There's a great woke like yourself, and keep up a
Speaker 24: good work and I'll keep wisting.
Speaker 16: Good.
Speaker 7: Thanks for that. Can we have we got a bit

Speaker 7: a snooze now, probably catching up on some well earned
Speaker 7: rest because he does he works hard, long hours every week,

Speaker 7: Yeah on you. Thanks for the call, Adrian, No worries
Speaker 7: toxing cheers. Jim's in westwoodscat Hey Jim.
Speaker 18: Hi Simon ja. Yeah. About sports, A few quick things
Speaker 18: about sports. When I'll the Thubenham Primary School in Braybrook,
Speaker 18: when Doug Hawkins was in grade sixth with me, I
Speaker 18: didn't mind playing football. We had a gigantic yard with
Speaker 18: football goalposts on each end and we also had a
Speaker 18: cricket pitch. I didn't mind playing football, but one time
Speaker 18: the teacher said you'll have to play cricket. And when
Speaker 18: I was there out there, I said, I hate cricket
Speaker 18: with a passion. I said, I can't stand cricket. I'm
Speaker 18: not playing. The teacher said to me. The teacher said
Speaker 18: to me, if you don't play, the milder punishment from
Speaker 18: the strap was picking up all the paper from the
Speaker 18: school yard. So I said, okay, I'll play anyway. I'll
Speaker 18: tell him I'm no good cricket. I can't stand it.
Speaker 18: I ended up hitting four sixes and catching three people out,
Speaker 18: and then at the end I was going to have
Speaker 18: more punishment. They told me I was nominated to clean
Speaker 18: all the dust off the cricket pitch, and I said, no,
Speaker 18: I'm not doing it, and he told me about I'll
Speaker 18: do paperwork again. So I'm furious going up to the
Speaker 18: broom to pick up the broom. Not a straw broom,
Speaker 18: one of those other long breast brooms. I stood on
Speaker 18: it accident. I stood on it and the broom came
Speaker 18: and the stick, the stick part of it knocked out
Speaker 18: one of my bottom tooth, and I was bleeding. And
Speaker 18: I've got out of paperwork. The other couple of quick things.
Speaker 18: When I told you about my elderly neighbor before, he
Speaker 18: told me that I won't mention his name, but you'll
Speaker 18: probably know him if I did mention his name. He
Speaker 18: told me he met you on a few occasions. He
Speaker 18: came to your bank. I forgot where your bank was,
Speaker 18: and he said he met you on a few occasions,
Speaker 18: and you're a very good man and a true gentleman
Speaker 18: to speak to and everything. But were I know that
Speaker 18: anyway from all the several years, if you've been none
Speaker 18: of the announcers I've been speaking to, but I said,
Speaker 18: I won't mention his name because that's in case his
Speaker 18: family or he's listening.
Speaker 22: Yes, fair enough sold you, you'd probably know who he is.
Speaker 18: And the last thing music that gets you up, I
Speaker 18: got lopsop and get me up at two of my
Speaker 18: favorite Stevie Right TeV and the B fifty two's rock Lobster,
Speaker 18: because that said us into the first day I taped it.
Speaker 18: It really made me wap the way they start singing
Speaker 18: and the way the girls make the noises and dance
Speaker 18: and all the things they say and being an up
Speaker 18: the upbeat a song or both of them. Stevie Right
Speaker 18: TV and Rock Lobster. Thank you, Simon, Thank you, Jake.
Speaker 7: No worries, no the good, good calls, good suggestions, Jim,
Speaker 7: thank you for that. The B fifty twos, I love
Speaker 7: the voices of the girls. I can never remember their names,
Speaker 7: but the two girls in the B fifty twos were fantastic,
Speaker 7: and one of them saying with is the song Shiny
Speaker 7: Happy People with Rim, which is a great song as well.
Speaker 7: I just adore her voice there's something very special about it.
Speaker 7: Appreciate the call, Jim, we'll break come back with more
Speaker 7: of your calls. Alan, Christine, hang on, We've got songs
Speaker 7: that get you going and pick you up. What was
Speaker 7: your sport and what was your sporting injury? But you
Speaker 7: can call about anything you like. One double three six
Speaker 7: nine three, and we're back one double three six nine three.
Speaker 7: Keep those calls coming, like Alan has from Coolaroo.
Speaker 20: Hello, Allan, hey going.
Speaker 7: I'm wonderful. I have not heard from you in about
Speaker 7: a year, I reckon, So it's great to hear your voice.
Speaker 20: Things just happened, but not to worry. Probably like you,
Speaker 20: once you have children, dinks into either administration and coaching
Speaker 20: or both.
Speaker 7: Oh now the phone line is breaking up. I didn't
Speaker 7: quite catch that. Try again, I have.
Speaker 20: Oh four children.
Speaker 7: Oh no, I haven't spoken to Ellen and I reckon
Speaker 7: well over a year. I can hear his voice, and
Speaker 7: I can't make out what he's saying. Are able to
Speaker 7: bash the phone against the wall and try again one
Speaker 7: last time?
Speaker 20: I said, I wasn't in the sport. But once you
Speaker 20: give into administration or coaching when you have children.
Speaker 7: Yes, now we've got you loud and clear, now, and yes,
Speaker 7: that happens, doesn't it Once the kids are there, you
Speaker 7: get dragged into it one way or another.
Speaker 20: Most definitely yes.
Speaker 7: Now, how have you been Allen in the twelve months
Speaker 7: or so since I've spoken to you?
Speaker 20: Well, I really didn't want to make it a better
Speaker 20: me but was he been in hospital for a lot
Speaker 20: times and I ended up losing my other leg and
Speaker 20: my left arm.
Speaker 7: Okay, wow, that's been quite quite a time for you.
Speaker 7: The only reason I do pray and ask Allan is well,
Speaker 7: I've missed your calls, but we've had a lot of

Speaker 7: A and three A W. But I don't watch the
Speaker 7: news that often.
Speaker 34: Oh I watched the years thirty hours a day. And

Speaker 34: glacier or a huge mountain, and you know how there
Speaker 34: is a snow ever large m this one was a
Speaker 34: rock and the whole glacier disappeared and buried Beddan. And

Speaker 34: only one person missing out of the whole village. Wow,
Speaker 34: hopefully he's safe. Somewhere that you know, there was nowhere
Speaker 34: to go. The whole the whole mountain just crushed into
Speaker 34: like a iceberg.
Speaker 7: Ever an avalanche, it would have just come straight down,
Speaker 7: and they would have They've got like seismic things that
Speaker 7: would have probably detected some weakening, some rumbling as stuff
Speaker 7: started to break away, So they must have then realized
Speaker 7: that and then really thought this is dangerous and got
Speaker 7: you went out. What a story.
Speaker 34: Wow, five mountains and the middle one just disappears. It
Speaker 34: just crumbled down and covered bed and it was just
Speaker 34: incredible to watch. If you didn't see it, you wouldn't

Speaker 7: the responsibility.
Speaker 31: Well, that's true. You don't have to produce. Well, you
Speaker 31: don't have to think up too many things, do you,
Speaker 31: because a lot of people overnight they just want to
Speaker 31: just chat about their problems etc.
Speaker 7: Well, always coming armed with stuff. So I've got one two, three, four, five, six, seven,
Speaker 7: eight nine topics of which we've used too. So I
Speaker 7: always over prepare just in case there is no under
Speaker 7: chat doo.
Speaker 31: Yeah, but that's a good idea. That's very good idea.
Speaker 31: I think, always been well prepared. What was it the Scouts?
Speaker 31: What was their scouts and the Scouts motto.
Speaker 21: Prepared?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Nice.
Speaker 31: I'm trying to think about Billy now. Billy was the
Speaker 31: one who was very close to his mum, wasn't he?
Speaker 7: Yes, Yes, he was Yes, Yes.
Speaker 31: That's right. I was trying to remember, Well, there's a
Speaker 31: lot of people who've got problems, but I am just
Speaker 31: so lucky, Simon. The only thing I've got is rotten arthras.
Speaker 31: But really I'm pretty fit. And did you realize that
Speaker 31: I'd celebrated my ninetieth last month? Nineties well, April my ninetieth. Yes,
Speaker 31: I've had a big Yeah, I had a big party
Speaker 31: here at the village. My grandchildren and my daughter put
Speaker 31: it on. I had about sixty or seventy people, and
Speaker 31: we raised and getting ump for five hundred dollars for
Speaker 31: the Leukemia Lymphoma Association. So that was really really good. Yes,
Speaker 31: because it's been eight year since Michael died. And and
Speaker 31: I just heard now, oh what was her name? The
Speaker 31: one that was in oh well known Subanski was it? Yeah,
Speaker 31: she's just been diagnosed with the same the same lymphomas.
Speaker 31: It's very very rare that Michael had. But I think
Speaker 31: there's been lots of advances in these eight years, and
Speaker 31: hopefully she'll get through it.
Speaker 7: Okay, yes, hope. So, yes, mag that's great. I've been
Speaker 7: a fan of hers for years.
Speaker 31: So you've been in some good shows hasn't.
Speaker 7: She Yes, great sense of humor, that's right.
Speaker 31: So what's happening with you, Simon? Are you still on
Speaker 31: your own?
Speaker 20: Are you?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 31: Yes, Yeah, I just wondered. It's been a long term
Speaker 31: since you, you know, early left home, hasn't it.
Speaker 7: Well, it's been. Yes, two years ago. My wife and
Speaker 7: I separated. It was April two years ago that I
Speaker 7: moved out. But I'm very happy to report we have
Speaker 7: a much better and happier relationship now that we're not
Speaker 7: together than I think we did toward the end of
Speaker 7: our marriage. So it's been a bit of a blessing
Speaker 7: for both of us. I'm not looking for another relationship,
Speaker 7: so I've got I've got some wonderful female friends, but
Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not looking. I'm not I'm not looking for,
Speaker 7: you know, the next wife.
Speaker 31: As it is, I think it's very very sensible. I
Speaker 31: only had the one marriage, and I must admits it
Speaker 31: was quite mentally abusive whatever. But after we separated, you know,
Speaker 31: it seemed to we sort of got together for all
Speaker 31: the kids' birthdays and that, and and you know, and
Speaker 31: you used to say things that I was amazed that
Speaker 31: he'd say about me that you never said when I
Speaker 31: was married to him, and it was really quite nice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, a similar similar thing in that once once the
Speaker 7: pressure of the marriage isn't there, you know, Well, I
Speaker 7: look at my wife now and I see all the
Speaker 7: things that I fell in love with because there's there's
Speaker 7: just no pressure there, and I realized just what a
Speaker 7: wonderful person she is. So I'm very lucky to have
Speaker 7: just still have her as a really, really good friend.
Speaker 31: Well that's great. And how the grandchildren go.
Speaker 7: They're gorgeous. They're just gorgeous.
Speaker 31: How old now I think they were? Last time I
Speaker 31: spoke they were wipes Tami. School was still so.
Speaker 7: The birthdays, Oh no, no, they're not not even into
Speaker 7: school yet. Their birthdays are in October and November. Archie
Speaker 7: will be turning four and Xavier will be turning two.
Speaker 31: Oh well, that's right, because that's right. They're the same
Speaker 31: similar age to my great grandchildren. I've got to four
Speaker 31: three And now since, yes, since I last spoke to you,
Speaker 31: I've got a Chase one who's now well actually is
Speaker 31: about eighteen months old. Now, yeah, so, gee, was the
Speaker 31: years just go? When you were saying about well, I
Speaker 31: think about it, do you think you could play for me.
Speaker 31: You were asking about songs to be played the Last Farewell.
Speaker 31: I remember this when I was doing my nursing training,
Speaker 31: I think in the seventies. That was after I left
Speaker 31: a marriage, and I can remember studying and I had
Speaker 31: this song, The Last Farewell.
Speaker 7: By Roger Whittaker. I think it was right.
Speaker 31: It's only been dead a short while, hasn't he.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think it was within the last couple
Speaker 7: of years that he passed.
Speaker 31: I think, yeah, yeah, I think so. Anyway, I won't
Speaker 31: hug the line, but good to talk to you, Simon.
Speaker 7: Lovely to chat to you, Pam, And I would never
Speaker 7: ask a lady her age, but I had no idea
Speaker 7: that you were ninety. Wow, I would have placed you
Speaker 7: in your sixties. So the here go. That's Pama, Eric.
Speaker 7: We will see if we can dig out the Last Farewell.
Speaker 7: And you've got already Jay, all right, let's we won't
Speaker 7: play it all because we've got calls waiting, but let's
Speaker 7: have a bit of a burst of it. It is
Speaker 7: a great song. I always figured Dennis Walter should sing this,
Speaker 7: very much his style. If you've close your eyes listen,
Speaker 7: it could beating us.
Speaker 35: There's a ship lies riggedly reading in the hearble tomorrow
Speaker 35: for England, she said, far away.
Speaker 29: From your land of endless sunshine, to my land full
Speaker 29: of rainy skies and games. And I shall be aboard
Speaker 29: that ship tomorrow, though my heart is full of tears
Speaker 29: and despair. Wall Fall are beutiful, and I have loved
Speaker 29: you deally, more daily than the spoken world can turns.
Speaker 29: All are beautiful, and I have loved you deal.
Speaker 7: More dearly than the spoken word. Contains a bit of
Speaker 7: Roger Whittaker, but I'm pretty sure is Dennis Walter's twin brother,
Speaker 7: and it's a beautiful song. I've always loved that song.
Speaker 7: First heard it when I was in primary school and
Speaker 7: always loved it since then. Maggie's in Adelaide.
Speaker 15: Hi, Maggie, Hi, I sorry on my other phone. You
Speaker 15: sat down.
Speaker 7: Sounds like you're a bit of a distance from your phone.
Speaker 24: Yeah, oh, well which one this one?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 7: Yeah? That sounds a bit better.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 36: Yeah, I'm just taking the recharge of Yeah, I was
Speaker 36: trying to take through.
Speaker 11: On my other phone.
Speaker 36: Yeah yeah, oh, please play it all the last for world.
Speaker 24: Roger.
Speaker 7: Look, I whilst I love music and I would love
Speaker 7: nothing more than to do a request show on a
Speaker 7: station like this. But but we've being a talk network,
Speaker 7: playing playing music is It's something we do for a
Speaker 7: little bit of fun occasionally. But if we play too
Speaker 7: many songs, people start complaining. So yeah, I just play
Speaker 7: snippets occasionally.
Speaker 36: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. Now, God, where do
Speaker 36: I start, because I'm so tired.
Speaker 25: You have to forgive me?
Speaker 36: Now are cops too? There's just release myself going on
Speaker 36: for months now, and others with coughs and all that.
Speaker 36: Some way could get that to the weather, et cetera.
Speaker 36: But moving on from that other and I could talk
Speaker 36: about other issues that have already been discussed. Major concerns.
Speaker 36: Really the rum that's gone sort of quiet, I guess
Speaker 36: in one sense, the global rumblings. You know, let me say,
Speaker 36: in no particular order or reason, but that must be
Speaker 36: Trump and they're they're parting of ways. But how convenient
Speaker 36: I think, you know, well, perhaps the deal's been done,
Speaker 36: they achieved or whatever behind the scenes.
Speaker 9: You know, I'm not.
Speaker 36: Into conspiracy theories, but I am somewhat concerned.
Speaker 7: I pay them absolutely no attention whatsoever. I think the
Speaker 7: pair of the mcclown's and so I just I have no.
Speaker 7: I see their name come up in a newspaper article
Speaker 7: or a headline on an ad for the news or something,
Speaker 7: and I just glaze over and look in a different direction,
Speaker 7: I must admit.
Speaker 15: So.
Speaker 7: I know people get very worked up about Donald Trump
Speaker 7: and Elon Musk either being in favor or against, but
Speaker 7: it's everyone seems to have an opinion way or the other.
Speaker 7: In the extreme. You either love an ad all them,
Speaker 7: or you hate them and can't stand them and think
Speaker 7: that they're corrupt and evil. But for me, I just
Speaker 7: glaze over. I couldn't care less about the two of them.
Speaker 36: Okay, okay, we could continue on, but let me bring
Speaker 36: up another topic and yesterday's adise await to the lever. No,
Speaker 36: I don't know whether you have heard of this health
Speaker 36: warning as miracle drugs leave views as in hospital with hepatitis.
Speaker 11: Oh have you heard of that one?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 7: So what was the story?
Speaker 15: What was well?
Speaker 36: I'll read the first paragraph. Dozens of a zempiica manjar
Speaker 36: I not my pronunciation might be incorrect, but a zempeg
Speaker 36: Munjara and Baker Baco V users are reporting a drug
Speaker 36: induced hepatitis, prompting medical experts to call for regular check

Speaker 7: Well that's that's intriguing, Thank you, Maggie. I've got to
Speaker 7: move on to a break in a sec. But I'm
Speaker 7: intrigued by that because I thought that hippatitis was a
Speaker 7: excuse me, viral transmission.
Speaker 32: We've all got cough.
Speaker 7: Oh no, well I had a little head cold a
Speaker 7: week or so ago, so I've just got the last
Speaker 7: traces of the cough going. But I thought hepatitis was
Speaker 7: a viral infection. So I don't see how a drug
Speaker 7: could lead to a viral infection. But there must be
Speaker 7: just something I'm missing there. But thank you for the call, Maggie.

Speaker 10: I think the weather's gone crazy, well I do. We've
Speaker 10: got no, we haven't had any rain, not much sign
Speaker 10: of any of it coming, and a lot of people
Speaker 10: sort of suffering with the dry pluff, people getting dry
Speaker 10: coughs because the weather is dry, and I think life's
Speaker 10: getting a bit uncomfortable. Hopefully it will rain shortly.
Speaker 7: Well it is, but it's I think it's a seasonal,
Speaker 7: seasonal adjustment when we go from the warmth to the cold.
Speaker 7: We all feel it quite a lot. And yeah, but hopefully, yeah,
Speaker 7: we do need some more rain. Yeah, definitely, you.
Speaker 10: Don't have any trouble sitting in there. Neck conditioning front
Speaker 10: team does now isn't now?

Speaker 7: I've just looked at the clock. We've got to get
Speaker 7: a break in, so my apologies for cutting your short
Speaker 7: back in a second. Thank you Maggie for the text.
Speaker 7: My goodness, please, you should all learn the NATO phonetic alphabet.
Speaker 7: Yes I've never actually known it, but there is an
Speaker 7: official thing for doing that, isn't there. I like the
Speaker 7: cockney slang sent up a for uses beef for mutton.
Speaker 7: I can't remember the rest of that either. It's coming
Speaker 7: up to news time.
Speaker 4: Now. This is Australia Urban Eye with Simon Owens. How
Speaker 4: many times have you woken up breed all are?
Speaker 8: How many times have you seen the.
Speaker 21: Paper's abortion.
Speaker 1: Gets to.
Speaker 21: Who gets to welcome?
Speaker 37: Who gets to the play?
Speaker 38: I was almost told everybody should get this. How many
Speaker 38: times have you been told if you don't ask, you
Speaker 38: don't get it. How many lives have taken your money?
Speaker 38: Your mother said you shoot beads. Who hasn't fun?
Speaker 7: So I was a man with a girl.
Speaker 1: Someone must have.
Speaker 7: Told him, if you work too hard, you can.
Speaker 21: Swear there's always the sun. There's always the sun.
Speaker 7: We're gonna explain about twenty years since I've heard that song,
Speaker 7: Jay always the son who had the hit with that,
Speaker 7: that is the Stranglers, the Stranglers, and they've had.
Speaker 8: Thirty four millions, eight hundred and twenty four thousand, five
Speaker 8: hundred and seventy four listeners.
Speaker 7: On Spotify Spotify. Yes, yeah, okay, so it seems I'm
Speaker 7: alone in having not heard that song in twenty ideas now, yeah,
Speaker 7: it's a good song. Yeah, it's good to hear it
Speaker 7: again now before the news, beautifully read by Alexander Nimo.
Speaker 7: Of course we were. We got sort of cut short
Speaker 7: with Bob of Cool Roo, so we've got him back.
Speaker 7: Sorry about that, Bob.
Speaker 10: That's all right, no big problem. So what are you
Speaker 10: doing these days with the spare time?
Speaker 39: Have you got any hobbies?
Speaker 7: Yes, I'm currently writing a sitcom with a friend of mine.
Speaker 7: So we were having a great time doing that. We
Speaker 7: catch up once a week and we just sit and
Speaker 7: we've nutted out a ten episode plot to travel right
Speaker 7: through the ten episodes, and we're going through writing the
Speaker 7: first draft of the script now and we're up to
Speaker 7: episode three.
Speaker 10: But you go about getting somebody to produce.
Speaker 15: It for you.
Speaker 7: Well, that's the thing, isn't it. Like there's I think
Speaker 7: a lot of people have written scripts. I'll be calling
Speaker 7: on the fact that at the moment, anyway, this network
Speaker 7: is owned by nine and nine own STAN, So if
Speaker 7: I can't get an email address for somebody at STAN
Speaker 7: to send the script through to, I'll be pretty annoyed
Speaker 7: with the company. But of course that doesn't that doesn't
Speaker 7: mean anything's ever going to happen. But we both just
Speaker 7: love writing. Like I've written a movie before and I
Speaker 7: need to go back and finish the second draft of that.
Speaker 7: I write because I love writing, not because I actually
Speaker 7: think there's a career in it for me. So it's
Speaker 7: a chance to catch up with a good friend once
Speaker 7: a week, have a cup of coffee or a meal,
Speaker 7: and we spend a couple of hours writing and making
Speaker 7: each other love. So it's just a lovely social thing.
Speaker 7: And if it turns out that we get to sell
Speaker 7: it to stand and retire as millionaires, then say be it.
Speaker 22: You wouldn't want to retire as a millionaire, No.
Speaker 7: No, I'd need at least two two million.
Speaker 10: You'd get bored without all of us peopleathering in yuyr hole,
Speaker 10: exactly right.
Speaker 7: But I also run a YouTube channel in my spare
Speaker 7: time as well, So I spend probably about eight hours
Speaker 7: a week working on my YouTube channel. So that's that's
Speaker 7: a day out of each week, and then cover.
Speaker 10: With the YouTube.
Speaker 22: Sorry, what do you cover with the YouTube?
Speaker 7: It's so every day at midday I put up an
Speaker 7: old ad from the nineteen eighties, and every day at
Speaker 7: five o'clock a clip goes up from the Bert Newton
Speaker 7: Show from nineteen eighty nine, So interviews that Bert did
Speaker 7: on that show, musical acts who came on and performed.
Speaker 7: So there's Delilah, Joey Paroni, there's interviews there with Olivia Newton,
Speaker 7: John and people like that, Comedians who are on. I've
Speaker 7: just put up some stuff with Rodney Rude. Yeah, so
Speaker 7: it's a good snapshot into the past.
Speaker 10: I think it's nice. Little lot of that stuff is
Speaker 10: not just going to go into the rubbish spin. At
Speaker 10: least it's going to go somewhere where people can actually
Speaker 10: see it again.
Speaker 7: Or hear it again exactly. The beauty of it is
Speaker 7: that that particular show of Bert's which was only in
Speaker 7: nineteen eighty nine, for it was only one year he
Speaker 7: was up against Ray Martin. It was at the start
Speaker 7: of the year when the show started in March, Quintechs
Speaker 7: were running Channel seven and it was Christopher's case. He
Speaker 7: was interviewed on Bert's show, and so it wasn't ely the.
Speaker 10: One that wanted to color rise a lot of the
Speaker 10: old shows.
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm not sure of that, but yeah, by the
Speaker 7: end of the year, the Quintechs went bankrupt and Channel
Speaker 7: seven went broke, so the show got asked at the
Speaker 7: end of the year. So Bert was only on air
Speaker 7: from March till November, and it was the midday time
Speaker 7: slap up up against Ray Martin.
Speaker 10: I think I envy you people that at least somebody
Speaker 10: can be talking to you and like, for instance, at
Speaker 10: the moment you're talking with me on all sorts of
Speaker 10: different bits and pieces, and for somebody to be able
Speaker 10: to pick up a conversation and all sorts of bits
Speaker 10: and pieces, and they may not be interested in all that,
Speaker 10: but at least you can hold a conversation I think
Speaker 10: that's a rare talent.
Speaker 7: Oh well, thank you. I just like having a bit
Speaker 7: of a yack. I'm not the world's most knowledgeable person.
Speaker 7: The stuff that I do know is generally pretty trivial.
Speaker 7: I don't sort of do important stuff as such. But
Speaker 7: I just like a good yack and find out what
Speaker 7: people are thinking.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, but you're in an excellent place to learn
Speaker 10: different things, because people will always come up with different
Speaker 10: ideas or different ways of doing things. You've only got
Speaker 10: to ask about a subject and I'll bit you. You
Speaker 10: get ten calls on it.
Speaker 7: Oh that's true. Yeah, yeah, it's great for that, I
Speaker 7: must admit. Mind you with me. A lot of it
Speaker 7: goes in one ear and out the other. I don't
Speaker 7: retain a.
Speaker 10: Lot what nothing in the middle to hold onto it.
Speaker 7: No, it's just a it's a vacuum.
Speaker 15: It's a bit of a problem.
Speaker 10: It must rattle when you walk a bit.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it gets cold in there too.
Speaker 10: Look, I think we've all got talent in one way
Speaker 10: or another.
Speaker 7: I get by on good looks and charm. I've seen you, Simon,
Speaker 7: so you know that's a lie.
Speaker 10: I've seen you when you used to have The camera
Speaker 10: is running on studio. I haven't looked for a long time.
Speaker 7: Oh you should, because they're much better now. The camera
Speaker 7: set up here is pretty good now.
Speaker 10: I can remember when you and used to do was
Speaker 10: it the Sunday Night Show? Used to put some of
Speaker 10: it on YouTube?
Speaker 7: We did it. Yeah, we did a podcast in the
Speaker 7: in the time when remember when on three aw was
Speaker 7: only from ten till midnight. We'd do what we call
Speaker 7: the vodcast at nine point thirty, which was a video podcast.
Speaker 7: So we'd sit in the studio and Phil would sing
Speaker 7: a song and we'd just sort of have a bit
Speaker 7: of a chat and tell stories. We'd live stream it
Speaker 7: on Facebook each week, and that we've got a good
Speaker 7: reaction to that. There was a lot of fun.
Speaker 10: That's one of There are a few shows that still
Speaker 10: do it. But then again, I mean, you want to
Speaker 10: be in radio, not TV.
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I would love to still do it, but
Speaker 7: Phil was very quickly became the Philip Brady Show that vodcast.
Speaker 7: So without Phil, I don't know what I'd do for
Speaker 7: fifteen minutes.
Speaker 22: If Andrew wouldn't buy he would.
Speaker 7: But Andrew's a bit like me, a bit mystified by
Speaker 7: the fact that anybody's at all interested in anything. We've
Speaker 7: got to say.
Speaker 16: Ah, look, I.
Speaker 39: Think you've you're liking.
Speaker 10: You've got a show that is different. There are no politics,
Speaker 10: there's no crap owl, there's no one bagging anybody else,
Speaker 10: and that makes it some pleasant listening. I mean I
Speaker 10: listened through the day. I don't work anymore, and you
Speaker 10: know I get enough of the politics during the day.
Speaker 7: Yes, And that's sort of my philosophy is I'd leave
Speaker 7: all that heavy lifting to everybody else on the network,
Speaker 7: and I'm here sort of lightly refer to what I
Speaker 7: do as I'm here for ships and giggles. It's just
Speaker 7: just for a bit of fun.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with that because you give
Speaker 10: a few people a laugh, have a bit of a
Speaker 10: chuckle yourself, most lightly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 10: And besides, you've got to entertain j Well.
Speaker 7: I've got to keep him awake somehow, yes, yes.
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, and yeah, and you can't even get him
Speaker 10: with a water pistol because you've got two sheets of
Speaker 10: glass between you.
Speaker 7: Yes, which I think Jane likes it that way. There's
Speaker 7: a certain safety having the glass between us all. Oh
Speaker 7: is that what it is?
Speaker 35: Oh?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's your what's your ambition with your
Speaker 10: Saturday show. Are you just going to keep coming or
Speaker 10: have you got an idea for some new bits and
Speaker 10: pieces of mind? The way it's very good.
Speaker 7: Well, it changes, it will change again when the football
Speaker 7: season finishes. So for those on five Double A and
Speaker 7: six PR, they don't hear my Saturday show. So I
Speaker 7: host Sunday nights, remember when with with Andrew McLaren on
Speaker 7: three a W and on Saturday nights. At the moment,
Speaker 7: I've got eight till midnight on three a W, which
Speaker 7: is just my show, the Simon Owen Show. But during
Speaker 7: the during the summer when there's no football and no
Speaker 7: NRL in Sydney, the show's networked into two GB and
Speaker 7: four BC, so it's up the East Coast and the
Speaker 7: time slot changes and it becomes a six hour show
Speaker 7: from six to midnight. So yeah, every every six months
Speaker 7: we change the show up a bit.
Speaker 10: There were a problem with somebody saying another state who
Speaker 10: want to pick up your show going to the AW
Speaker 10: website and listening live.
Speaker 7: No, no, they can do that. And if they've got
Speaker 7: like a Google Home Mini or one of those Alexas
Speaker 7: or whatever, you can actually just say, you know, play
Speaker 7: six pr Play four BC, So you can listen to
Speaker 7: any station in the network just by telling your machine

Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 16: Here going?
Speaker 7: Yeah, not too bad.
Speaker 16: That's why you do a good job there, thank you.
Speaker 16: It's a small world. And a brother is Interception Bay.
Speaker 7: Okay, how about that?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 16: So anyway, there's a lady that rang up well first
Speaker 16: allowed to everyone, and I said my love and blessings
Speaker 16: to all the listeners. They so you had a lady
Speaker 16: who rang up before she said she had laughs writers, Yes,
Speaker 16: so I many while I got away to the doctors
Speaker 16: because I had pained to my knee and shoulder, and anyway,
Speaker 16: he said I had art riders. So anyway, guinea any
Speaker 16: inflammatories or something, and anyway, afterward I didn't get much better.
Speaker 16: So I'm one of them people that allow there's a
Speaker 16: natural cure for every ailment. Anyway, So I looked at
Speaker 16: me herbal books and it said a lot of people
Speaker 16: think they've got a right, but it's actually a food allergy.
Speaker 16: So and the two main culprits is potatoes and tomatoes,
Speaker 16: so which is from the deadly night shade family if
Speaker 16: they wanted.
Speaker 15: To look that up.
Speaker 16: Anyway, So I I used to have mashed potato every night,
Speaker 16: and anyway, so I stopped having mashed potato and tomatoes.
Speaker 16: I mean as good as gold. We show as good
Speaker 16: as gold. So it's actually a food allergy. A lot
Speaker 16: of people would have well, I know, yeah, my.
Speaker 7: Dad can't have tomatoes and there is a medical reason why,
Speaker 7: but I can't recall what it was. So maybe that's
Speaker 7: that's part of what you said there. Yeah, I'd I'd
Speaker 7: be devastated if I couldn't have potatoes because I love it,
Speaker 7: egg of sad boy, salt and vinegar and you know,
Speaker 7: some red rooster fries. There's too many good things with potatoes.
Speaker 18: That's right.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I love the invest potato too, but you can
Speaker 16: have them like occasion, even know, all the time. So
Speaker 16: if that lady would wants to stop and potatoes and
Speaker 16: tomatoes for a little while and see if that helps.
Speaker 7: Yeah, have a bucket of fried chicken instead.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 16: And another thing, a lot of people seem to have
Speaker 16: lots of colds and all that, and I don't believe
Speaker 16: in having the flush. I never one in my life.
Speaker 16: I've never had a cold for about thirty years. And
Speaker 16: my secret is if I feel like I'm getting a
Speaker 16: bit of a cold, I have a clove of garlic
Speaker 16: and just have a bit of water to get it down.
Speaker 16: And that's the cure for all these colds and all that.
Speaker 21: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, friends, but lots lots of health if you
Speaker 7: chew on the garlic, that's right. Any any good at
Speaker 7: Tellian Nana who's listening would agree with you. There With
Speaker 7: the garlic, that's apparently that fights off all kinds of things.
Speaker 16: Yeah, well I used to have that in the I
Speaker 16: think it was the First World War. Before penicillin. They
Speaker 16: used to get in garlic and put them out of
Speaker 16: the sunshine. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, so it is
Speaker 16: a natural cure for colds and all the inductions and stuff.
Speaker 7: I had a bit of garlic bread from my lunch
Speaker 7: yesterday as well, so that's so I'm well on the way.
Speaker 16: Yes, it's no use having people say, oh, I have
Speaker 16: capsules and I'll cook it up in your tea, but
Speaker 16: it's not the same. You've got to add the raw garlic.
Speaker 7: You know, raw garlic.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, because once you look around put it in
Speaker 16: capsules about you, you don't know that what the quantities
Speaker 16: you're having. But a raw garlic, that's a cure.
Speaker 7: And how good does garlic taste? Too?
Speaker 16: I love gar Yeah I hate it, but I have it.
Speaker 22: You hate it, yeah, I just but I do have it.
Speaker 16: Play the garlic every second day or every third day,
Speaker 16: because you know, he doesn't want to have it every day.
Speaker 16: Of course, because you get it, I suppose your body
Speaker 16: will getting me into it. But yeah, you feel like
Speaker 16: you get the cold garlic and if you want to
Speaker 16: have the lemon drink and.
Speaker 22: That will cure it.
Speaker 9: Cure it.
Speaker 7: Beautiful, good advice. Good on your Ray.
Speaker 16: Okay, then we'll have a good night, good morning actually,
Speaker 16: and blessings to everyone. And it's good to hear all
Speaker 16: the individual people out there.
Speaker 7: Beautiful. I appreciate the call. Thank you, Ray. I do
Speaker 7: love that idea. A clove of garlic. It's good for
Speaker 7: your health because it'll kill everything that's bad in you
Speaker 7: and it'll keep everyone at a distance away so you
Speaker 7: won't catch anything more. That's it's wonderful, lovely call. Thank you. Right.
Speaker 7: Chris is in South Australia before the cereal. Hey, Chris,
Speaker 7: good morning.
Speaker 17: The reason that with tomatoes is because of the acid
Speaker 17: in them, right, and the potatoes there's something in them
Speaker 17: as well, and I've just forgotten what it is.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of starch in potatoes, isn't there Is
Speaker 7: that the thing?
Speaker 22: Yeah?
Speaker 24: That might be it?
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, but I know the tomatoes and they've got
Speaker 17: the acid, et cetera. And see a lot of a
Speaker 17: lot of the veggies and a lot of the fruits
Speaker 17: et c have got different bits in them that either
Speaker 17: react with the body or that you know you put
Speaker 17: up with them and that's a bad it. But if
Speaker 17: it gets a little book on what is in them,
Speaker 17: you can find out how to go about it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Now that's a bit sad if you can't have
Speaker 7: potatoes or tomatoes, though I love a tomato. We used
Speaker 7: to have cheese and tomato on toast and it was magnificent.
Speaker 7: And just tomatoes on toast with salt and pepper on top. God,
Speaker 7: that's delicious.
Speaker 13: I'll agree with you there.
Speaker 17: And a nice boiled potato or something like they were
Speaker 17: just a dash a bit of salt and pepper.
Speaker 7: Salt and pepper, yeah, or sour quam.
Speaker 18: Yes.
Speaker 7: Now a cream will do the trick as well. Well,
Speaker 7: that's the wind up for the cereals. We've got to go.
Speaker 7: I appreciate the call. Thanks, thanks for letting us know
Speaker 7: all that. Very good. All right, So break next, followed
Speaker 7: by the cereal, then the news. Then it'll be back
Speaker 7: to your calls after four, which is of course Melbourne time.
Speaker 7: We'll see how we go. We're just approaching the news.
Speaker 7: It'll be two o'clock in Perth, in Adelaide it'll be
Speaker 7: half past three, and in Melbourne it'll be four o'clock,
Speaker 7: So that's coming up in about a minute from now,
Speaker 7: after the news Marsi. For those who haven't caught up
Speaker 7: with the news, Marsi Jones from Marsie and the Cookies
Speaker 7: and her own solo career sadly passed away on Saturday evening.
Speaker 7: Gavin Wood and Normy Row have both paid tribute to
Speaker 7: her in the last few hours. But it was only
Speaker 7: three weeks ago that I had the pleasure with Andrew
Speaker 7: McLaren of interviewing Marcy. Only three months ago, so as
Speaker 7: a tribute to the late Marcy Jones, we might play
Speaker 7: that on the other side of the upcoming bulletin. So
Speaker 7: stick around and reminisce with us with the sad loss
Speaker 7: of a great talent.
Speaker 4: Now this is a stradio urbanized with Simon Owens Down.
Speaker 1: Down, My.
Speaker 12: God.
Speaker 41: It's actually thrown me Jay having that as a song
Speaker 41: to intro this hour because Melbourne listeners would know that
Speaker 41: Dennis Walter uses that as his opening theme.
Speaker 7: So I play that for Dennis when I'm paneling for him.
Speaker 7: So I was sort of waiting for Dennis to say something.
Speaker 7: Then that's what a coincidence? How funny? Who sings that song?
Speaker 8: That one is from the band called the Go Betweens.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've never liked it. Early eighties, early eighties were it? Okay? Well,
Speaker 7: good on him? I just found Dennisius is the theme.
Speaker 7: I don't like it as a theme for Dennis. Never mind,
Speaker 7: that's I'll just shut up my own business, I guess,
Speaker 7: all right. So in this hour, very soon, we're going
Speaker 7: to play an interview with Marcy Jones that Andrew McLaren
Speaker 7: and I did on three Aw's Remember When program only
Speaker 7: three months ago. Sadly, she passed away on Saturday night,
Speaker 7: so we're going to play a bit of that interview
Speaker 7: as a bit of a tribute. But before we do that,
Speaker 7: let's get to your calls. Julian is in Armadale. Morning, Julian,
Speaker 7: good morning.
Speaker 22: So I remember nineteen fifty seven Dad was talking about
Speaker 22: the international photograph on the front page of all Melbourne
Speaker 22: papers the day the sputnik came over with Melbourne early
Speaker 22: morning and there was a big, big story that went
Speaker 22: worldwide and won many.
Speaker 7: Awards back in fifty seven, was it?
Speaker 15: That's right?
Speaker 22: I could see it clearly in the sky. Dad went
Speaker 22: out and saw it. It was a Russian spootnik. I'm
Speaker 22: not sure if it went rounds in Australia or not.
Speaker 7: There was probably less light pollution as well back then.
Speaker 22: I guess certainly it would have been Dad used to
Speaker 22: talk about. And if you look on the internet you'll
Speaker 22: see see the photograph. I can't remember which paper, whether
Speaker 22: it was the Argus, the Sun or the Age that
Speaker 22: the photographer won many awards for.
Speaker 7: That wonderful Yeah, good memory.
Speaker 22: Good memories of Dad. Movie was alive, would still be
Speaker 22: able to talk about it. And now opposite side of me,
Speaker 22: we've got a very famous mansion called Carrington House which
Speaker 22: is for auction at the moment. One of the last
Speaker 22: old Manchells left in the street in Cooyong Road and
Speaker 22: that was once linked owned by Thomas William Moran who
Speaker 22: was the founder of Moran and.
Speaker 7: Kate Oakh Yes big chain, Yes.
Speaker 22: Jim Jory and he died at the age of only
Speaker 22: thirty nine.
Speaker 7: Well that's young.
Speaker 15: Young now.
Speaker 22: Also his partner Moran was born in England in the
Speaker 22: nineteenth century and died in nineteen thirty five. A big,
Speaker 22: big chain of supermarket around the Coals era when Colesworth started.
Speaker 22: I'm not quite sure if Cato, who actually had a
Speaker 22: strong link to stall the Pleasant Creeks.
Speaker 7: Is that part of the stall or I don't know.
Speaker 7: I must admit I'm not that great with my geography.
Speaker 22: There are quite a big number of Moran and Kato supermarkets.
Speaker 22: Do you remember them?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 7: Before my time Moran and Cato, but I've certainly heard
Speaker 7: a lot about them over the years.
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, he is a very very interesting story about
Speaker 22: Moran and Cato. That's a long gone supermarket brand. Now,
Speaker 22: could you tell me today is the King's birthday in
Speaker 22: New Zealand West Australia. Don't get it till the end
Speaker 22: of September, and Queen Sadki is at the first week
Speaker 22: in October. Why is his birthday, which is in November
Speaker 22: is not changed to one uniform birthday?
Speaker 7: I reckon it should be. I have no idea why
Speaker 7: each country is different, and it just makes no sense,
Speaker 7: given you know, we've only had I don't know how
Speaker 7: long the holiday goes back in each of those places.
Speaker 7: But you know, given her no, I was going to say,
Speaker 7: given we we've had two monarchs in the last nearly
Speaker 7: seventy years or so, you'd think we'd be able to
Speaker 7: unify it to at least her birthday or his birthday, and.
Speaker 22: My brother's peculiar, isn't it. Look we're gon photograph of
Speaker 22: the Queen visiting the Malvern Town Hall in nineteen fifty four,
Speaker 22: the year Footscraye one that first Premiershieon's which her majesty
Speaker 22: came when she went everywhere? Apparently she also went to
Speaker 22: baux Hill.
Speaker 5: Did you know that?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 7: I didn't didn't know that that she was in boxing
Speaker 7: the whole book of.
Speaker 22: The Royal Tour of her majesty at the back of
Speaker 22: the Royal train, waving to the people as they crossed
Speaker 22: the old baux Hill station. Gates had stopped the train
Speaker 22: and she waved to the people of baux Hill on
Speaker 22: her way to Walmart. And there was a train that
Speaker 22: went to Wharton once.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's that's right on the Lilydale line.
Speaker 22: Yes, yes, I'm famous residents of course of this area
Speaker 22: of Armadel Maulvin there. Of course Bruce Small. Now, someone
Speaker 22: was on Darren's program yesterday and said it was not
Speaker 22: Bruce Small that found that a wolve and Star Barkles
Speaker 22: was his relative, mister Fingleton. I always thought that Bruce
Speaker 22: Small was the same Bruce Small that had the media
Speaker 22: names of the Gold Coast. I might correct on that.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, there was a businessman and politician named Bruce Small.
Speaker 7: Who was he the same one? That is a good question.
Speaker 7: Actually it was it the same.
Speaker 22: Bruce the mayor of Gold Coast. Is that's the same man.
Speaker 7: I'm looking it up.
Speaker 22: We'll yeah, thank you.
Speaker 7: Bruce Small. Sir Andrew Bruce Small was an Australian businessman
Speaker 7: and politician in Melbourne. He developed maulven Star Bicycles into
Speaker 7: a household name in Australia, then retired to the Gold
Speaker 7: Coast where he developed property and as Mayor of the
Speaker 7: Gold Coast, promoted the area to Australia and the world
Speaker 7: as a family friendly holiday destination through the bikini clad
Speaker 7: meter maids in surfers Paradise. He was one and the same,
Speaker 7: one of the same.
Speaker 22: One of my most famous other residents, of course is
Speaker 22: Terry Donovan and his son, of course, Moran's most famous student.
Speaker 7: Uh Terry Donovan, a lovely, lovely man, still alive and kicking.
Speaker 22: Rember A three weeks up in the test from England.
Speaker 7: You know, no, I didn't know that. No, I didn't
Speaker 7: know that at all.
Speaker 22: Chase, of course, what to tell usself and many many
Speaker 22: famous people, including Tony McManus is also a US our boy,
Speaker 22: isn't he?
Speaker 7: I think that's correct. Yes, yes.
Speaker 22: Did you know we once had four picture theaters in Malvine?
Speaker 7: No, well, there used to be a lot more, didn't there.
Speaker 7: A lot of them sort of closed down and like
Speaker 7: the drive ins, you know, drivings are almost non existent
Speaker 7: now that cinema cinemas took Isn't that right? I think
Speaker 7: you're right. Yeah, there's only is there only the two
Speaker 7: left in.
Speaker 22: Victoria, only Tromana and Coburg and that's it. There's one
Speaker 22: in Sydney as one left in Sydney. It's still there now.
Speaker 22: I can remember that I was allowed, not allowed to
Speaker 22: tell you when I was allowed in the projection room.
Speaker 22: I knew the projectionist who used to work at the
Speaker 22: old Dendy Theater opposite the Selvasian Army, which was the
Speaker 22: old Embassy and then the Metro, and that was actually
Speaker 22: a wonderful old thirteen hundred and thirty one seat cinema
Speaker 22: and had an orange glowing ceiling and I dropped curtain.
Speaker 22: That was a wonderful theater. It's now Nando's chickens.
Speaker 21: Ah.
Speaker 7: Yes, Oh it's not the same, isn't. It's sad when
Speaker 7: that happens, that you lose something beautiful and old and grand,
Speaker 7: like a theater and it becomes a Nando's. There's just
Speaker 7: something that's not right with the world when that happens. Julian,
Speaker 7: I must, I must keep moving. But always a pleasure
Speaker 7: to chat to you when I have the pleasure of
Speaker 7: filling in for Tony McManus. Look forward to the next
Speaker 7: time we meet. James and Michaelford.
Speaker 42: Hi, Jan get very Simon. I really love it when
Speaker 42: you're on now. I did see the Spotnik go across Melbourne.
Speaker 42: It wasn't early morning, it was late evening.
Speaker 21: Yeah, and.
Speaker 42: Saw the Spotnik go across I was about seven years old.
Speaker 42: It was ninely fifty seven, I think, and I didn't
Speaker 42: quite understand all the excitement, but Dad explained it to
Speaker 42: me that it was a unique and the first only
Speaker 42: the very first satellite across Melbourne. I also saw the
Speaker 42: Queen in nineteen fifty four, and I was very disappointed
Speaker 42: with that because I was taken to see the Queen
Speaker 42: and I think it was outside Melbourne Town Hall, but
Speaker 42: it might have been. He went through north at two.
Speaker 42: I believed it might have been Northvik town Hall, but
Speaker 42: my memory says it was Melbourne Town Hall.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 42: And it was paying flying past in a b big
Speaker 42: black open topped car with a blue dress and white
Speaker 42: waving with a white white gloves like Michael Jackson. And
Speaker 42: she had a little sort of white hat on too,
Speaker 42: and and then she was gone and she didn't have
Speaker 42: a crown. I was looking for a clean Were you.
Speaker 7: One of the robes and the crown.
Speaker 42: And crown the same as the picture that we had
Speaker 42: on the wall. Yes, yes, I was quite disappointed, but
Speaker 42: it was only four years old at that stage.
Speaker 7: A handful of coins looking at him, going that's not
Speaker 7: that same woman.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 42: Yes, And I did get listed over the crowd to
Speaker 42: the very front, so I had a very good view.
Speaker 42: But it was a big disappointment because that was just
Speaker 42: a laying in a car with no crowd.
Speaker 7: Isn't that marvelous the thoughts of young UN's It's it's
Speaker 7: wonderful how we we just expect you to understand and
Speaker 7: of course not. No, I'm trying to well, I'm trying
Speaker 7: to think out before I let you go. Jan you
Speaker 7: saw Sputnik. I'm trying to remember the name of the
Speaker 7: satellite in the seventies that was, you know, that crashed,
Speaker 7: it came back to Earth, and there was the danger
Speaker 7: it was going to land in Australia.
Speaker 42: The one that did land in Australia, there was the big,
Speaker 42: the big sky Skylab, Skylab. It was hit and it
Speaker 42: hit not like near kel Gurley, and it cut where
Speaker 42: right across the entire continent. There were bits of debris
Speaker 42: found from Western Australia right through to Queensland. And of
Speaker 42: course we were being assured every day that it's not
Speaker 42: going to it's going to splash down in the Indian
Speaker 42: Ocean and it's not going to hit Australia.
Speaker 7: But it did did because I remember the reason. I
Speaker 7: remember I was quite young then and I remember my
Speaker 7: parents being, you know, talking about it and me being
Speaker 7: terrified that this thing was going to crash into our house.
Speaker 42: So well, it was quite it was quite a real
Speaker 42: and imminent risk. To use a word that's come into
Speaker 42: the news just today, but yes, that was the My
Speaker 42: husband was a scientist and he was quite concerned. And
Speaker 42: my friends who were also they weren't, oh yeah, they were.
Speaker 42: One was a mathematician and another one was a scientist.
Speaker 42: They were actually following it and saying, this is not good.
Speaker 42: This is highly likely to hit Australia. But the radio
Speaker 42: and the TV and the politicians assured us every day
Speaker 42: that it wasn't going to hit Australia. And it's just
Speaker 42: lucky it didn't wipe out Perth.
Speaker 7: Mmm.
Speaker 42: It landed just past the settled areas of east of
Speaker 42: Western Australia. It landed in Western Australia. It hit the
Speaker 42: ground there. I mean it had broken up a lot,
Speaker 42: but debris was spread over a thousand k's true.
Speaker 7: Very lucky, very lucky.
Speaker 42: Indeed, back on that it was it shouldn't be too
Speaker 42: hard to find information.
Speaker 7: But though you've told us everything we need to know.
Speaker 7: That's marvelous.
Speaker 42: Even after it happened, they were still saying, oh no,
Speaker 42: it was just a little bit.
Speaker 10: But people were.
Speaker 42: Finding debris, and of course the Americans came and gathered
Speaker 42: up a lot of it very quickly, but people were
Speaker 42: still finding Gabriel two or three weeks after it happened.
Speaker 7: Wonderful, Jane, you're you're a star. You answered everything that
Speaker 7: you knew something about everything. Julian had raised and answered
Speaker 7: my questions. It's great to have you on board. I
Speaker 7: must go there. We've got to get to a break
Speaker 7: and I want to play a bit of this Marsi
Speaker 7: Jones interview after the break. So thank you for the call.
Speaker 7: Jan other callers, hang on, We will get to you,
Speaker 7: but we're going to do something else just after this.
Speaker 7: Twenty three after four in Melbourne. In Adelaide it's seven
Speaker 7: minutes to four, and in Perth it's twenty three after two.
Speaker 7: Exactly three months ago. Today is Monday, second of June.
Speaker 7: On the second of March, three months ago exactly, Andrew
Speaker 7: McLaren and I on our three aw program, remember when
Speaker 7: interviewed Marcy Jones and sadly she passed away on Saturday.
Speaker 7: So as a bit of a tribute to her, I
Speaker 7: thought it would be nice just to replay a part
Speaker 7: of the conversation that Andrew and I had with her,
Speaker 7: you know. And I wander out for lunch with Gavin
Speaker 7: Wood on the odd occasion and we were walking through
Speaker 7: the boxiel R. S L And a lady called out
Speaker 7: and it happened to be well, there were three of
Speaker 7: them at the table, and it happened to be the cookies, Beverly,
Speaker 7: Margaret and Wendy, So they just happened to be there
Speaker 7: on the same day that Gavin and I were there,
Speaker 7: so we stopped and had a lovely chat and the
Speaker 7: cookies are just the loveliest people. But you know who
Speaker 7: I haven't had the pleasure of meeting face to face,
Speaker 7: and who would that be? Marcy Jones. So I'm pleased
Speaker 7: to say we've got her on the line now him Marcy,
Speaker 7: look good.
Speaker 26: Evening, boys, how are you?
Speaker 37: I think we're all right here?
Speaker 19: They were having a lunch with their cousins I think
Speaker 19: who were over from England.
Speaker 37: That would probably be right, Yes, yes, do you Obviously
Speaker 37: you'd keep in contact.
Speaker 7: With the sisters.
Speaker 19: Then I see I see Wendy and Margaret nearly every Thursday.
Speaker 19: I see Beverly probably once a month. We all have
Speaker 19: dinner together on a Thursday night. And we've always been
Speaker 19: in touch here, we always, Yeah.
Speaker 22: We do.
Speaker 15: It's like family.
Speaker 7: That's really lovely to hear, Marsy, because so many musical
Speaker 7: lacks for the Journey don't get along that well, so
Speaker 7: that's beautiful to hear.
Speaker 19: Well, the girls are all sisters, of course, yes, that
Speaker 19: doesn't mean to get on.
Speaker 37: I've read about the Andrews sisters apparently couldn't stand to
Speaker 37: be in the room with each other.
Speaker 19: Really, Yeah, the Cookies are very close. There's only fifteen
Speaker 19: months in between them, so they were always like triplets,
Speaker 19: you know, But it was it was sometimes difficult. Margaret
Speaker 19: and I always agreed and the other two agreed I
Speaker 19: should have taken an extra vote being the lead singer.
Speaker 37: Well look, Mary, Marcy and the Cookies. Just to explain
Speaker 37: for those who don't remember, it was a big, big
Speaker 37: act on the TV and the live scene here in Melbourne,
Speaker 37: around Australia for that matter, in the nineteen sixties. And
Speaker 37: you were something of a pioneer because it was an
Speaker 37: all girls singing group.
Speaker 7: Marcy.
Speaker 19: That's right, we were. And it's a funny thing because
Speaker 19: so there were quite a few groups around at the time.
Speaker 19: But I think what made us different was that the
Speaker 19: girls being sisters and me not I suppose big a
Speaker 19: lead vocal myself. When the whole thing came together, it
Speaker 19: was really magical. We sang great together and I think
Speaker 19: and that's what people really really liked. I think when
Speaker 19: I met the girls it was like I was connecting
Speaker 19: with family, so but the sound we would get between
Speaker 19: the four voices was pretty unique. And we worked with
Speaker 19: Cliff Richard for a long time.
Speaker 25: In England.
Speaker 19: We toured with the Monkeys, We toured with a lot
Speaker 19: of big acts. The girls have worked with a lot
Speaker 19: of acts too on their own and I've done a
Speaker 19: lot of tourists. We did hard to us of Jeene Pitney.
Speaker 19: I did two of those with the Cookies.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what was Geene Pitney like. I've got a little
Speaker 7: Jeene Pitney story that paints him has been just one
Speaker 7: of the loveliest people ever.
Speaker 20: It was just lovely.
Speaker 15: Yeah, he was lovely.
Speaker 32: He was He was a generman. He was a great thing.
Speaker 22: He sang when he.
Speaker 20: Sang live saying all his songs really.
Speaker 19: Fast, DearS darling. I hate to write to say that
Speaker 19: he was really fast. Yeah, but he was lovely and
Speaker 19: tragically went to bed after a show and didn't wake up.
Speaker 37: That's right, lefturing England.
Speaker 7: That's right. He had the pleasure though.
Speaker 37: I read once he had the pleasures in Pitney of
Speaker 37: buying the country club in America that he was a
Speaker 37: busboy in as a teenager. That's nicest success story there.
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 39: Isn't it.
Speaker 37: Did you have a chance to buy the town hall
Speaker 37: that you performed in when you were fourteen?
Speaker 19: No, I wished I had him, No, fifteen, actually fifteen
Speaker 19: I was. But I'm turning eighty in June.
Speaker 7: Well, you don't sound it, and just then when you
Speaker 7: just sang a little bit, then you've still got the voice.
Speaker 10: Marci Well, I still do the odd thing.
Speaker 19: But I have actually retired, but I've been talked into
Speaker 19: doing one more show my eightieth birthday. There's also celebrating
Speaker 19: sixty five years in this business.
Speaker 15: Can you believe that?
Speaker 19: I don't know where the years have gone? And working
Speaker 19: pretty hard through most of that time. So I'm doing
Speaker 19: one more last hurrah. I'm going to go out with
Speaker 19: a big bang.
Speaker 7: That's good to hear, Massie.
Speaker 37: I always ask, yes, I just about always ask musical performance.
Speaker 8: What was the first record that you bought?
Speaker 15: No, Gee whiz?
Speaker 19: It was probably a Connie Francis song.
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, it probably sounds right.
Speaker 32: Probably or.
Speaker 15: Lots of other girl I've gone.
Speaker 7: Blank, Brenda Lee's maybe is someone like that?
Speaker 19: Brenda Brendaly would have been a Brendly or a Connie Francis.
Speaker 37: I would think, Okay, and when was the first performance,
Speaker 37: professional performance?
Speaker 7: Where was it and how old were you?
Speaker 15: Well?
Speaker 19: I was fifteen. I used to go down to Canterbury
Speaker 19: boring with my girlfriends and my dad had a green
Speaker 19: truck that he'd keep all his cement mixes and everything
Speaker 19: in the back. And we're all pile in the back
Speaker 19: and no seatbelts in those days, and he would take
Speaker 19: us out the Canterbury Ballroom and we were dads and
Speaker 19: Malcolm Arthur and the Thunderbirds were playing down there, and
Speaker 19: John Gray, god bless he missed to run that.
Speaker 20: For Ivan Damon.
Speaker 19: Anyway, the girls went up and said, you know our
Speaker 19: girlfriend sings, can she sing something? And of course no,
Speaker 19: But on Saturday we're auditioning for a girl singer. So
Speaker 19: I turned up and sang litstick on your collar and
Speaker 19: robot man and got the job.
Speaker 7: Well done. Isn't that marvel at at the grand old
Speaker 7: age of fifteen.
Speaker 25: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Now what did mum and dad say about this? Did
Speaker 7: they have dreams of Marsy working in the bank or
Speaker 7: doing something more formal?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 19: No, no, I was actually a hairdresser. Yeah, so I
Speaker 19: hadn't apprenticeship right, So I sang for so I was
Speaker 19: about eighteen or nineteen. Then they started a show called
Speaker 19: the Go Show and DYT Productions for going around all
Speaker 19: the dancers at that time, because there were so many
Speaker 19: dancers glen Iris, Springvale, Preston town Hall, Canterbury Ballroom, you know,
Speaker 19: all the glen Iris Rock, so many of the dancers,
Speaker 19: and they went around and they chose different people, boys
Speaker 19: and girls to do the Go Show, and I was
Speaker 19: one of the ones that were picked.
Speaker 37: So now, when does normany Row come into your professional life,
Speaker 37: because I know it's quite a part of it, of
Speaker 37: course at certain points.
Speaker 19: Yes, yes, we're still very close. We're really good mates,
Speaker 19: and we're very very close friends, him and I and
Speaker 19: still and finally he's happy, so thank god, so them,
Speaker 19: I don't have to worry about him anymore. But Norm
Speaker 19: was fourteen and I was nearly sixteen, and the San
Speaker 19: Rose bought him along to Preston town Hall one night.
Speaker 19: Here's this young fourteen year old, smartass with long hair,
Speaker 19: and we started to work together and they moved me
Speaker 19: from working with the Thunderbirds to a band Preston's Circle
Speaker 19: and the town Hall that didn't have a name.
Speaker 22: At the time.
Speaker 19: They became normally Role and the Playboys and I was
Speaker 19: their female singer.
Speaker 37: Right, So it was Normally who I've read that it
Speaker 37: was Normany who suggested you team up with the cook
Speaker 37: sisters and become Massi and the Cookies.
Speaker 32: Yeah, well we.
Speaker 19: Were going together at the time. Norm when I went
Speaker 19: out together about six years and we were engaged sick
Speaker 19: talk of the town and I went up to work
Speaker 19: in Brisbane and met the Cookies. The Cookies were doing
Speaker 19: Brisbane Countdown and so they did the vocal backing from
Speaker 19: and almosaid, that sounds really great. Why don't you join
Speaker 19: up together?
Speaker 14: So we did.
Speaker 19: I had some shows and I said to the girls, well,
Speaker 19: do you want to come down to such a paradise
Speaker 19: and do a few songs with me and we'll see
Speaker 19: how we go. So we quickly took out the sewing
Speaker 19: machines and ran up four dresses.
Speaker 20: And they learned some of my songs.
Speaker 19: And we went on and that was it.
Speaker 7: And that's what an amazing writer it's been. And you've
Speaker 7: already mentioned working with the Monkeys and people like that.
Speaker 7: As a fifteen year old, did you ever dream that
Speaker 7: it would get to that point where you're, you know,
Speaker 7: with international artists being part of your life.
Speaker 19: No, of course not.
Speaker 15: You know, it was.
Speaker 19: Just getting I just sort of as everything happened, I
Speaker 19: just sort of took it in my stride. I was
Speaker 19: working Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and hairdressing through the day
Speaker 19: and the other four nights I was working at all
Speaker 19: the dancers. I mean, these kids today say, oh, Geed,
Speaker 19: I've got to do this and I've got to do that.
Speaker 19: You know, just get off your bumps and do it.
Speaker 4: Good advice.
Speaker 37: Now I've got to go back to the people you
Speaker 37: toured with, and it's it's an amazing list, Geene Pitney.
Speaker 37: We've mentioned Cliff Richard, The Shadows, Royalbison, Tom Jones, Del Shannon,
Speaker 37: Ray Stevens, and so many others.
Speaker 7: What a wonderful lot of memories. Have you kept photos
Speaker 7: of you and them on stage together or you know,
Speaker 7: backstage at any point the.
Speaker 19: Cookies actually worked with Ray Stevens. But yeah, we've got
Speaker 19: a lot of photographs. I mean we were singing. We
Speaker 19: were doing some vocals at E and I Studios in London,
Speaker 19: which is where the Beatles recorded, and we were we
Speaker 19: were recording one day and the door came open. I've
Speaker 19: got a photograph of George Harrison walked in and just
Speaker 19: excuse me, girls, I just want to get my guitar
Speaker 19: picked his guitar up.
Speaker 7: We said, oh, how wonderful.
Speaker 37: It's what an exciting career to be a part of
Speaker 37: all that world.
Speaker 21: Eh.
Speaker 19: But we worked with Patty Lavelle and the Bluebells, you know,
Speaker 19: Paddi la Belle. Yes, she was out working at the
Speaker 19: Hilton and of course we went along to see it
Speaker 19: because we're huge fans of Patty Lavlle and Beverly. One
Speaker 19: of the cookies she had written to her to say,
Speaker 19: we're a girlfriend from Australia and we love her music
Speaker 19: and all the rest of it. Anyway, they're asking for
Speaker 19: people who said things. So we went to scramble up
Speaker 19: on the stage. This is all these middle aged women
Speaker 19: in their forties and the bouncil of we're going to
Speaker 19: let us up, and I said, what do you think
Speaker 19: we're going to go rape?
Speaker 15: My god?
Speaker 19: So he let us up and she handed me the
Speaker 19: microphone and here's this thirty piece all black bands playing
Speaker 19: with the songs, sitting it right in the pocket.
Speaker 17: Oh it's a bit overwhelming, amazing.
Speaker 19: Had she passed me the microphone we went into Lady
Speaker 19: Barblade and she went backwards and she said.
Speaker 32: Oh my god, these girls still singing? Who are these girls?
Speaker 19: And the audience yelled out, that's Marty as the book is.
Speaker 7: We'll leave the chat there, but how lovely to hear
Speaker 7: the voice of Marcy Jones who passed away on Saturday,
Speaker 7: and that interview only three months ago with Andrew and
Speaker 7: myself on Remember When. But how sad? Also, how sad
Speaker 7: to hear her say there that she had retired, but
Speaker 7: she was going to come out and do one last
Speaker 7: gig for a birthday, for a birthday which is only
Speaker 7: two weeks away, and she didn't get there.
Speaker 8: So just showed that she just wanted to be with
Speaker 8: her audience. She wanted to be out there on stage
Speaker 8: entertaining people right up until the end.
Speaker 7: Unfortunately. Yeah, so there we go. She'll be very sadly missed.
Speaker 7: The lovely the great Mark C. Jones. Break and then
Speaker 7: back to your calls one double three six nine three
Speaker 7: one double three eight eighty two and text messages of
Speaker 7: course zero four double seven six nine three six nine
Speaker 7: three whatever's on your mind this morning? And Chris is
Speaker 7: in broad Meadows Morning, Chris Simon and.
Speaker 43: Jay, this is the insight I have a couple of
Speaker 43: years ago Australian media Consourtians will asking the social media
Speaker 43: platforms Facebook, Twitter, x whatever they should pay for us
Speaker 43: in Australian online content or media content or advertising. And
Speaker 43: then before Moscow, Ruber Murdoch said, this is the end
Speaker 43: of commercial online newspapers in Australia, not like the paperback
Speaker 43: book gone fifteen years ago. So there's some commercial ideas
Speaker 43: or the Herald son and wants to sell Sky News,
Speaker 43: sky Race and Sky Sports. Hostel Ko held not so
Speaker 43: the own to Australia on the Financial Review. But could
Speaker 43: be that Australian media has accidentally pursued the right thing
Speaker 43: and right why but shut itself in the foot.
Speaker 7: So so you're suggesting that the that they shouldn't have
Speaker 7: tried to strike an agreement with the social media platforms
Speaker 7: or I'm not.
Speaker 43: Saying a lot right, I'll i'll be sticking up for
Speaker 43: Australian jobs and austrains. It should be used for free
Speaker 43: overseas or on these big platforms that we all get worldwide.
Speaker 43: But then you know, may have bought about its own
Speaker 43: sort of Yeah.
Speaker 7: Look, it's a double edged sword. The social social media
Speaker 7: and news because every every business, well not every business,
Speaker 7: but many businesses, radio stations, television stations, newspapers, they all
Speaker 7: actually have social media platforms, the social media accounts on
Speaker 7: those platforms, because it's a great way to spread the
Speaker 7: links back to your own content. So we put up
Speaker 7: our podcasts, we put links to those podcasts on social
Speaker 7: media so that people can see it and come back
Speaker 7: to our website and and here and here are the
Speaker 7: things we do. So it's a great service for us.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, other people can lift the
Speaker 7: stuff that we do and post it on those social
Speaker 7: media services, and then the businesses themselves get nothing out
Speaker 7: of it. So it's a necessary evil, but it's also
Speaker 7: a problem or wrapped up in one rather untidy little bundle.
Speaker 7: So the idea that I actually found it a bit
Speaker 7: difficult to swallow that Facebook, in particular, which was the
Speaker 7: big one, should have to pay to have newspapers content
Speaker 7: on there, or TV content or radio content. The idea
Speaker 7: that they had to pay for that was silly to me.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, I just think there needs
Speaker 7: to be a better way of making sure that if
Speaker 7: news content or if media companies content is used on
Speaker 7: social media. It should only be able to be put
Speaker 7: up by the news, by those those media companies, and
Speaker 7: I just it's just not possible to stop people putting
Speaker 7: stuff up online. So it's it's just one of those things.
Speaker 7: I don't know what the future can hold. I don't
Speaker 7: know what can be done about it. I think we're
Speaker 7: just in a big mess. And unfortunately a lot of
Speaker 7: the revenue that used to go to those traditional media
Speaker 7: sources now goes to your facebooks and Google's and the like.
Speaker 7: Like millions upon millions of dollars in revenue that used
Speaker 7: to go to the media companies now can't. It doesn't
Speaker 7: because people advertise elsewhere, and that causes problems because the
Speaker 7: quality of what the companies have to offer is less
Speaker 7: and less. It's a bit of a mess.
Speaker 43: Griz yeah by saying Apple News has now asked me
Speaker 43: to set up a subscription, so it's only going to
Speaker 43: give me a very limited condensed things only when I
Speaker 43: open up the app on the applow boat, but if
Speaker 43: I want to go on the regular pop ups and
Speaker 43: not vacations. Has asked me for a free three months
Speaker 43: or month trial or something, but then you enter into
Speaker 43: a subscription directly. I won't fit up direct of it
Speaker 43: because I can't always be sure I've got money in
Speaker 43: my anzeticount to allow money to go spoop the forever
Speaker 43: about getting a.
Speaker 13: Fee, you know, for just.
Speaker 43: On a transaction or something there. But yeah, but that's
Speaker 43: just interesting. I know that because you know, i'd like
Speaker 43: to think Australian government and while we've got a federal
Speaker 43: labor government place on a commonwealth level, I think political
Speaker 43: correctness and all those things tightened about. We've lost our
Speaker 43: freedom to our way to just smoothly do because so
Speaker 43: many people abroad want to come to this beautiful country.
Speaker 43: But we're a little bit tight in the chest now
Speaker 43: for what we can and what we can't do and
Speaker 43: this commercial thing and it's not the Australia I like
Speaker 43: to be. And you know, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 7: No, not always a pleasure, Chris, thank you. And the
Speaker 7: one thing that humans don't do very well is change.
Speaker 7: So we all look back at the year's gone by
Speaker 7: and think of them as the glory years. But when
Speaker 7: we like, if I go back to the nineteen seventies
Speaker 7: when I was a kid, seventies and eighties, what great
Speaker 7: years they were. How fabulous. But my parents who were
Speaker 7: my age at that era, would look back at the
Speaker 7: fifties and sixties and say that was the glory days,
Speaker 7: and their parents would say the thirties were the glory days.
Speaker 7: It's just everybody likes to look back and rose colored glasses.
Speaker 7: That expression is there for a reason, isn't it Get
Speaker 7: on your Chris A break mark of Hampton and Trevor
Speaker 7: of Dandynong, You'll be next. Sometimes with our text line,
Speaker 7: which is zero four double seven six nine three six
Speaker 7: nine three, we get texts that I don't actually think
Speaker 7: are meant for us. I won't give the name on
Speaker 7: this one or any details at all, but received a
Speaker 7: text that names somebody else and nobody. There's nobody in
Speaker 7: this station who goes by that name. And then the
Speaker 7: text says what you're saying is true. I'm not here
Speaker 7: to lie to you. I believe you every single word,
Speaker 7: every tear, every haunting memory. No one deserves what you
Speaker 7: have been through.
Speaker 21: No one.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't think that's meant for us. So if
Speaker 7: you're listening and you've accidentally texted us by a mistake,
Speaker 7: just letting you know, you might want to re send
Speaker 7: that to the right person, but thank you for paying attention.
Speaker 7: Mark's in hamptonis.
Speaker 26: Time, Mark, I'm are you this morning?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Good, thanks Mark yourself only just.
Speaker 26: Many huntings to you and your family and everyone on

Speaker 26: Yeah, chill, a very very cold. I'm just about to
Speaker 26: have on the Facebook to warm up. And actually somehow
Speaker 26: she digits there and I think I didn't really realize
Speaker 26: I was a good person for talking on Facebook. But
Speaker 26: actually this cold weather is for some reason, I'm a
Speaker 26: better Facebook because it makes me warm up when I
Speaker 26: go on Facebook a little bit.

Speaker 26: I heard that's last summer. You actually, so you're taking
Speaker 26: up when the videos you're saying an opportunity to come
Speaker 26: over to someone's house and speak to them that because
Speaker 26: the figures that weren't working at the moment, there can
Speaker 26: be in the future advertisement that.
Speaker 21: You were doing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, i'd forgotten that.

Speaker 19: Try and contact me.
Speaker 32: It's when the morning in seventy something.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Joan, look Trevor, thank you for the call.
Speaker 7: But I have just had to let that go because
Speaker 7: you did name him. You named your teacher after you
Speaker 7: accused him of pushing you in the pool too. So yeah,
Speaker 7: but thank you for the call, the most interesting call,
Speaker 7: but we just best not continue with that. Marian's in
Speaker 7: Adelaide before we get to the break. How are you marrying?
Speaker 9: Stop laughing?
Speaker 7: Right, Marian, you were on holding you heard that pe
Speaker 7: teacher's name, so please don't repeat it. Interesting story, wasn't it?
Speaker 22: Do you know what.
Speaker 14: Last?
Speaker 15: Beautiful? And you've just got an embrace?
Speaker 8: That was?
Speaker 14: That was?
Speaker 10: That was gorgeous.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I feel terribly sorry for him for for that happening,
Speaker 7: but he ended up getting the better over his teacher.
Speaker 7: But I also feel sorry for the teacher. Just you know,
Speaker 7: some things are just terrible that happened in the past.
Speaker 27: Oh no, oh we all have.
Speaker 20: A past, darling.
Speaker 7: Yes, and they all have a past, and they've both
Speaker 7: been left with it.
Speaker 10: Deal with it and how we place that.
Speaker 7: It's what we do with it, that's true. And in
Speaker 7: the end they've both got an interesting story to tell others,
Speaker 7: haven't they.
Speaker 12: Okay, give me a minute, no, give me ten seconds.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that was that was just beautiful.
Speaker 12: Look, we all have a story, we all have a past.
Speaker 15: We're all beautiful.
Speaker 14: That was really funny.
Speaker 7: Now, now, Marion, what do if you have you got
Speaker 7: something else you wanted to say, because I only ask
Speaker 7: because we've got to get to do a break before news.
Speaker 7: So if you're happy to hang on for another couple
Speaker 7: if you hang on for another couple of minutes, we'll
Speaker 7: get you up straight out of the news, which is
Speaker 7: coming up after this right O. Well, it's about to
Speaker 7: hit three o'clock in Perth, so it means you're about
Speaker 7: to leave us so for the morning, So good morning
Speaker 7: to you, thanks for being on board. Tony may be
Speaker 7: back tomorrow, but he may not, so you'll either get
Speaker 7: Tony or myself if you tune in later on this
Speaker 7: evening for five double A listeners and three A w
Speaker 7: stick around half an hour ago. Look forward to chatting
Speaker 7: to you on the other side.
Speaker 4: Now this is a stragio Oben Eye with Simon Owens.
Speaker 7: Second day of Winter. Were playing one Summer Good Joys Jay,
Speaker 7: Good morning to you. Simon Owen's in the chair again
Speaker 7: for Tony McManus. Tony McManus is still a little on
Speaker 7: the unwell side. He will return at some point this week,
Speaker 7: we would expect. But when you do these hours, you
Speaker 7: don't want to come in when you're not feeling one
Speaker 7: hundred percent. So rightly, so he's taking another day off
Speaker 7: this morning. But Jay and I are here for this
Speaker 7: remaining twenty three minutes of the program, and it'll be
Speaker 7: good to have your calls on one double three six
Speaker 7: nine three. You can call now. You can call in
Speaker 7: anytime in the next twenty odd minutes and we'll get
Speaker 7: you to wear. You can also text, as a lot
Speaker 7: of people have done this morning on zero four double
Speaker 7: seven six nine three six nine three. There's an article
Speaker 7: of is just perusing in the Herald Sun Jay a
Speaker 7: naked woman stops traffic. That's always going to get your
Speaker 7: attention when you're looking at a paper. A woman has
Speaker 7: stuned on looker in central Geelong by casually strolling down
Speaker 7: the street naked. The unknown female was spotted smoking a
Speaker 7: cigarette and walking through Little Mallip Street without a care
Speaker 7: in the world on Thursday afternoon. Wow a Thursday. Why
Speaker 7: is it just being reported now today? Yeah? Just in
Speaker 7: the paper today. It's not terribly up to date, is it.
Speaker 7: While that explains why I couldn't find the footage on Twitter,
Speaker 7: dinas were quick to pull out their phones to record
Speaker 7: the bizarre incident in the heart of the city, with
Speaker 7: one video showing her prancing down the walkway. She certainly
Speaker 7: looked very relaxed. One witness set, it's not something you
Speaker 7: see every day. The caption on the footage posted to
Speaker 7: Instagram read only in Geelong. As she walked past the
Speaker 7: Geelong cellar door, she then slows to take a long
Speaker 7: puff of her cigarette. It's understood no complaints were made
Speaker 7: to police about the woman, who presumably got to wear
Speaker 7: intended destination without wearing any clothes. Deliberate exposure in public
Speaker 7: is a criminal offense and is more commonly known as flash.
Speaker 7: Victoria Police has been contacted for comment. I disagree with
Speaker 7: one thing it says, more commonly known as flashing. To me,
Speaker 7: flashing is you know that's the the image you caught
Speaker 7: you're up of a dirty old bugger in a raincoat. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and he's on a bus or something, and well there
Speaker 7: it is. Yeah, that's flashing. Strolling naked down the street
Speaker 7: is just in what would it be indecent? Self? For rating?
Speaker 7: There must be there must be a legal term for it.
Speaker 8: So it wasn't a fashion thing or anything.
Speaker 7: It was it was just you know, could have been
Speaker 7: Carner's wife, yes, Censory or whatever her name is. Yes, No,
Speaker 7: I don't think it was, but anyway, there you go,
Speaker 7: stroll suit these things. These things happen in Geelong, in
Speaker 7: Dennis Walter territory, We'll have no doubt here from Dennis
Speaker 7: at eight o'clock to night on thew listen questions exactly now.
Speaker 7: A couple of other texts. This one came through a
Speaker 7: lot earlier from JC, who's a lovely guy often keeps
Speaker 7: us up to date with breaking news as it happens overnight.
Speaker 7: But he's texted, the International Space Station will be passing
Speaker 7: over Melbourne this morning at exactly six fifteen ish, I
Speaker 7: know six fifteen h which is ours I guess zero
Speaker 7: six one five hours. You will clearly see it moving
Speaker 7: across the sky. If you look up from the southwest
Speaker 7: toward the northeast, it will look like a very bright,
Speaker 7: bright star, but moving. So for those of you interested
Speaker 7: in watching such things, the International Space Station six point
Speaker 7: fifteen this morning for Melbournians if you want to have
Speaker 7: a look from the southwest to the northeast. And another
Speaker 7: quick text. I won't name the person, so I'm not
Speaker 7: going to read the whole thing out, but this did
Speaker 7: you made me stop and think, Oh, I think This
Speaker 7: is a bit unfair, Simon. I wonder if I'm the
Speaker 7: only one who has a problem with centiling For four years.
Speaker 7: Regarding my ninety seven year old mother, they cut her
Speaker 7: age pension to seventy percent because I would not sell
Speaker 7: her home. She resides in a nursing home with dementia,
Speaker 7: and it's the only thing she has left in her name.
Speaker 7: There's more to the text, but yeah, I just that
Speaker 7: seems a little unfair to Me's got her asset and
Speaker 7: that's something that she holds dear. And the whole thing
Speaker 7: about the principal place of residence was you can't you know,
Speaker 7: the government don't touch that for tax purposes as far
Speaker 7: as I'm aware with my very small knowledge. But she's
Speaker 7: had to move into a nursing home, so her pension's
Speaker 7: been cut. I think that's I just think that's unfair.
Speaker 7: But you know, these things happen, I guess, and his
Speaker 7: government always fair? No, I guess not. Simon's in Colac morning, Simon.
Speaker 39: It's Simon, how you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 32: I was that woman gives a whole new I had
Speaker 32: many to load.
Speaker 9: Your good dog, doesn't it?
Speaker 7: Yes? Where was the horse? That was the question?
Speaker 22: And broken bones.
Speaker 10: You were saying broken, knocked down something or something like that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we were. We were taking calls earlier on your
Speaker 7: your great sporting injuries and like, so have you got
Speaker 7: a story for us?
Speaker 39: When I was signed football went up from Mark signed.
Speaker 10: And big both they helped me split in the chest
Speaker 10: and I busted.
Speaker 39: Miss Sternham.
Speaker 42: Went down, was a bag of pup and he said
Speaker 42: do you want to end up?
Speaker 15: You know what to him?
Speaker 7: Yeah on the radio, Yeah you're gay? So everything good?
Speaker 15: Now?
Speaker 7: How long ago was that.
Speaker 12: You go?
Speaker 14: Now?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, so awfully recovered. Yeah, nasty stuff. All right,
Speaker 7: good on assignment. Thanks for that, appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 7: I have received a text I'm embarrassed. And this half
Speaker 7: hour is the half hour of the show where there
Speaker 7: are more people listening because a lot of people have
Speaker 7: woken up at this time to get ready for work.
Speaker 7: Good morning to you, if that involves you. I think
Speaker 7: we've done a fairly good show overnight tonight, Jay this morning.
Speaker 7: It's it's been pretty good. We've had lots of calls,
Speaker 7: good topics, We've reminisced a bit. It's been a nice show.
Speaker 7: Walking home, walking to the car in fifteen minutes from now,
Speaker 7: I'll be thinking, yeah, that was okay, that wasn't a
Speaker 7: bad show. I've just said, oh, we're opening this hour
Speaker 7: with One Summer on the second day of winter. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that was As the Days Go By? No, no, you
Speaker 7: you played As the Days Go By. I've gone and
Speaker 7: said it was One Summer. Sorry, both great songs by
Speaker 7: Darryl Grave. Wait, but yeah, I've just said, oh, we're
Speaker 7: opening yeah. Yeah, So that's very embarrassing. I hope Darryl's
Speaker 7: not listening. You'd be yelling at the radio calling me
Speaker 7: a clown. That's terribly embarrassing. Trevor's in sponsored hide, Trevor.
Speaker 16: Hey, going, So did you watch the footy sv within
Speaker 16: Our Springs?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 7: I didn't. I was doing prep for my other show,
Speaker 7: remember when, So No, I missed the match sadly.
Speaker 16: Anyway, what was in the background was a road train,
Speaker 16: a cattle crack road train, in the on the grounds
Speaker 16: of the whatever you want to call it where they play. Yeah,
Speaker 16: in the background, I thought, God, what they got? The hell?
Speaker 16: They got a cattle crawell? You know, I wrote, I
Speaker 16: did hear it, and I realized that three quarter time
Speaker 16: when the Sarah wed up that's their song. His ear
Speaker 16: horns on the cattle truck.
Speaker 7: Is that right? That's what they used for the siren,
Speaker 7: was it?
Speaker 16: Well, that's the only reason I could put it there
Speaker 16: while they got the truck there, because I reckoned. Probably
Speaker 16: I just didn't have siren, so I was probably knocked
Speaker 16: off the sirens at the day. So they the cattle
Speaker 16: truck was parked up there, and it was in place
Speaker 16: like I mean, it was. Every time the camera span
Speaker 16: panned around, you could see it, and I thought what
Speaker 16: they were going to?
Speaker 7: It's Did anyone in the commentary team mention that driver?
Speaker 16: Because I didn't watch the whole game, only what's the
Speaker 16: last half, But I kept looking. I think that's a
Speaker 16: bloody road train. That's like I've bened that tower and
Speaker 16: that and I've seeing them. They're enormous and oh I
Speaker 16: can put it out. I could tell by the sound
Speaker 16: of it too. I reckon it was here haws the
Speaker 16: dull years and for the sien, Well, I tell.
Speaker 7: You what that's that's a fascinating idea that that might
Speaker 7: have been the CA I struggle to imagine that they're
Speaker 7: playing a game and they've held up a road train
Speaker 7: just to use its horn as the siren for the game,
Speaker 7: because you would think those things will be on a schedule.
Speaker 7: That would be pretty important getting from one place to
Speaker 7: another to get everything loaded on and loaded off. But
Speaker 7: if that is true, I reckon that would be a
Speaker 7: great sports story for people to follow up if anyone
Speaker 7: knows is that true? Is that a possibility even that
Speaker 7: a road train was used for the siren at that
Speaker 7: footy match, as Trevor suspects, great Cole, Thank you, Trevor.
Speaker 7: I've got to get to a break because it's already
Speaker 7: quarter past the hour, quarter two. If you're in Adelaide,
Speaker 7: back with more in a sec. It's bang on twenty
Speaker 7: after five in Melbourne. In Adelaide it's ten to five.
Speaker 7: Gary's in Ballarat Morning, Gary, Morning, Simon.
Speaker 39: Listen, the old lady in the nursing home. The son
Speaker 39: is very selfish because he's expecting the taxpayer to keep
Speaker 39: his mother in the nursing home and then when she dies,
Speaker 39: he'll get the house and seal out and keep all
Speaker 39: the money.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but does she not have a right to keep
Speaker 7: her house?
Speaker 39: Like yeah, look, yeah, Well if everybody did that, the
Speaker 39: country soon go roight because it's cost a cost eleven
Speaker 39: hundred dollars over, I'm getting the age on sort of
Speaker 39: looking into it, A cost eleven hundred dollars to keep
Speaker 39: somebody in the nursing home. She's getting seventy percent pension,
Speaker 39: which will be about four hundred a week, and she's
Speaker 39: got four hundred a week to spend sitting in the
Speaker 39: nursing home. Well, a charity case that goes in, they
Speaker 39: get a role to spend. Well, you know, it's very
Speaker 39: If everybody did that, it would be costing the government
Speaker 39: a lot of money.
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, look, you're right. I actually I do agree
Speaker 7: with you there that what you say makes perfect sense.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, does that mean that once
Speaker 7: you hit like sixty or seventy you should sell your
Speaker 7: house and blow all your money so you can then
Speaker 7: take the pension and have a full pension when you're
Speaker 7: in a nursing home.
Speaker 39: The point is that the son could take and keep
Speaker 39: her at home, and he's good in the full pension.
Speaker 39: The kids to they are throwing kids sick, their kids
Speaker 39: in a nursing home and then want the house when
Speaker 39: it's windowed away.
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I don't know in this exact case, thank you,
Speaker 7: it's a very interesting point you make. But yeah, I
Speaker 7: just I think there's just part of me that thinks
Speaker 7: you should have that asset and it should be sort
Speaker 7: of sacrisanct, as it were, because otherwise she should have
Speaker 7: blown all her money on travel, drugs, whatever she wanted
Speaker 7: to blow it on, and then she could take a
Speaker 7: full pension. But because she's saved and worked and been responsible,
Speaker 7: she gets penalized at the end of her life, as
Speaker 7: it were. But yeah, look, it's it's a very good
Speaker 7: point you make. I'm now sitting firmly on the fence
Speaker 7: having no idea. Thank you for that. Now, let's get
Speaker 7: this out of the way here, because it's a great announcement,
Speaker 7: a community service announcement for you. Because everyone's talking about

Speaker 7: text on the sports injuries that we were talking about,
Speaker 7: this one from Mandy Hope. You are well. I dislocated
Speaker 7: my hip out backwards high kicking in a dance routine
Speaker 7: that reminds me of a classic bit of footage. I'm
Speaker 7: sorry to hear that. Mandy mclad You're okay now, but
Speaker 7: that reminds me of a classic bit of footage from
Speaker 7: Ernie Sigley hosting. I think it was a pot luck
Speaker 7: or pot of Gold, one of those. The show had
Speaker 7: one of those two titles. And there was this really
Speaker 7: skinny guy and who's out there doing this high kicking
Speaker 7: routine and he did the same thing. He pulled a
Speaker 7: hammy or something nasty stuff it was. He tried to continue,
Speaker 7: but it was sad. It's a very sad mess. Your
Speaker 7: breakfast shows are up on the other side of this.
Speaker 7: Good morning to you all, and thank you for the
Speaker 7: pleasure of your company.
