Speaker 1: Hello world, and a song that was singing, come on,
Speaker 1: get happy.
Speaker 2: A whole lot of love, and it's what we'll be bringing.
Speaker 1: We make you happy.
Speaker 3: We are the three we don't traveling to yellow, mus
Speaker 3: metal and love and then we'll keep moving.
Speaker 2: On something it always happens where they are.
Speaker 4: We win together and we get a happy feeling when.
Speaker 1: We're singing a song traveling along.
Speaker 5: There's a song that.
Speaker 1: Was singing, come on, get happy, a whole lot of love,
Speaker 1: and it's what we'll be bringing. We'll make you happy,
Speaker 1: We'll make you happy, We'll make you happy.
Speaker 6: Well, like I did warn you that this might happen,
Speaker 6: Tony mcmanuses off for another morning, and rightly so, like
Speaker 6: who calls in sick on a Thursday morning and then
Speaker 6: madly comes back to work on a Friday when you
Speaker 6: can have a long weekend to recover. So Tony's Tony's
Speaker 6: absolutely fine. Please don't panic. Anybody is just you know,
Speaker 6: we all get those little head golds and things occasionally,
Speaker 6: and these hours are shock at hours, let's be honest.
Speaker 6: So Tony's having a well deserved little break. So you've
Speaker 6: got me in the chair this morning again, Simon Owens,
Speaker 6: I was here yesterday. For those who weren't listening. If
Speaker 6: you didn't, well that's on you. That's your fault entirely.
Speaker 6: But I'm looking forward to being here for the next
Speaker 6: five and a half hours. Hello, are people listening through
Speaker 6: six PR? It's great to have you here at ten
Speaker 6: o'clock at night. The sun's just sent a few hours ago,
Speaker 6: no doubt it's warmer than where we are here in
Speaker 6: the east of the country. But I love an adore
Speaker 6: six PR and I love an adore Perth. I've only
Speaker 6: been there once. I've got a mate who lives over there,
Speaker 6: and I just it was I always say, I'll describe
Speaker 6: it as like a clean version of Melbourne and Adelaide.
Speaker 6: Hello to you. Good to be back in your neck
Speaker 6: of the woods as well for another five and a
Speaker 6: half hours. Good to be with your Jackson's with me
Speaker 6: this morning, morning, Jackson Simon, how's day been?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Pretty good, pretty good, cruisy day. Yeah around the house. Yeah,
Speaker 7: just just enjoying not for tonight.
Speaker 6: It's a bit. It's a bit sad, isn't it. People
Speaker 6: imagine that we leave that radio. People lead really glamorous
Speaker 6: lives and invariably what did you do today? Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: I went to the shops.
Speaker 7: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 6: Yeah, need needed some salary. Yeah, we don't lead that
Speaker 6: exciting a lot, not that riveting. Well, somebody who's probably
Speaker 6: had a more exciting day than us is Caroly Kats
Speaker 6: and Barnes. And if you're watching the web feed, you've
Speaker 6: just got a great shot at the back of Caroly's.
Speaker 8: Head from a beanie off the three aw Beanie Now
Speaker 8: hat hair?
Speaker 6: Well the camera where is that camera?
Speaker 9: We don't want to know where the camera is?
Speaker 6: Look at this, here's you. I think that's that's my
Speaker 6: camera there that's doing that. I don't know.
Speaker 9: Why, never mind?
Speaker 6: How are you?
Speaker 9: I am fine?
Speaker 8: You make me laugh because when you said five and
Speaker 8: a half hours, First of all, your theme song, love
Speaker 8: it and get well wishes to the wonderful tournament manners.
Speaker 8: Sorry to hear that he's not well. But when you
Speaker 8: mentioned five and a half hours, I thought, well, one
Speaker 8: of the things I want to talk about tonight is
Speaker 8: I was on hold to Services Australia for five and
Speaker 8: a half hours.
Speaker 6: On Tuesday, five and a half hours.
Speaker 9: To three different departments.
Speaker 6: So what time did you place the eleven o'clock eleven
Speaker 6: o'clock and.
Speaker 8: I got off the phone at four twenty nine because
Speaker 8: they ended thirty.
Speaker 9: But look, let me let me just explain to the
Speaker 9: listeners because it's a serious as well.
Speaker 8: So for a lot of our listeners you might have
Speaker 8: something to do with Services Australia. We know that it
Speaker 8: combines everything together, Ato, medicare all those things as well,
Speaker 8: and it's your digital id online. And what happened was
Speaker 8: about a week ago. People might if if they read
Speaker 8: there was an article that somebody had had a tax
Speaker 8: refund that had been taken. They had two factor authentication.
Speaker 8: And of course, I think because it was all in
Speaker 8: the Australian newspaper and things that was things were sent out, everyone's.
Speaker 9: Got to beef up your security.
Speaker 8: So I got a little notice which was all official,
Speaker 8: you need to do this, that and what have you
Speaker 8: and instead of your username or whatever, have you considered.
Speaker 9: A past key. So I thought that's okay, that sounds good.
Speaker 9: Past key. I've done news stories on them before. That's
Speaker 9: the way the utu I whack in a passkey?
Speaker 10: Did it?
Speaker 11: Did it?
Speaker 8: Then a week later I thought I'd just go in
Speaker 8: and just check something because you get a little you know,
Speaker 8: notification in your normal email, go check in the mic
Speaker 8: of inbox. I got to put in the passkey, and
Speaker 8: of course it says, you know, got to open your
Speaker 8: Google password manager and an Android device or this or that,
Speaker 8: and I've got this past key and the passkey is
Speaker 8: not working, thinking what.
Speaker 9: This is not? So I do a lot of shifts here,
Speaker 9: as you know.
Speaker 8: So I came in spread some of the young ones
Speaker 8: in it, and one of them said that happened to me,
Speaker 8: and I went and and they said, you're going to
Speaker 8: need to ring up Services Australia and be warned. They
Speaker 8: will cancel you and they will issue you a new
Speaker 8: mic of ID.
Speaker 6: Are you cute?
Speaker 9: You know this is a young one saying.
Speaker 8: And they said, and I'm thinking, well, these savvy tech
Speaker 8: people here at three I w so I said okay,
Speaker 8: and they said you'll need to set aside some time.
Speaker 9: So I thought, well that's okay. You know, we know
Speaker 9: we have to wait on hold.
Speaker 8: I'm thinking maybe allowed an hour or whatever day off
Speaker 8: one Tuesday, and so I rang and sure enough the
Speaker 8: lady said, yes, we've had lots of people ring about
Speaker 8: this pass key. She said, do you realize you didn't
Speaker 8: have to do it? And I said well, no what
Speaker 8: I read, because I'm firm, but I'm very polite. I
Speaker 8: spend half the day on the phone getting interviews. And
Speaker 8: I said, it does say to beef up security because
Speaker 8: of identity theft and things.
Speaker 9: You do need it.
Speaker 8: And she said yes, but when you use the Google plate,
Speaker 8: when you use the past key, you need all the
Speaker 8: devices hooked up. And she said, we're getting this an
Speaker 8: awful lot. And she said, unfortunately, I'm going to have
Speaker 8: to completely cancel you and then issue again again, start again.
Speaker 8: Well I said, okay, that's fine. I'm not an idiot
Speaker 8: when it comes to technology.
Speaker 9: Do I lock technology? Not really, but I'm functional with it.
Speaker 9: And there we go. So anyway, so she deletes and
Speaker 9: she starts again. So that took me to about midday.
Speaker 8: And let's just say it was two hours and a
Speaker 8: quarter on the phone trying to link to the taxation thing,
Speaker 8: and then onto the medicare that wasn't recognizing whatever, and
Speaker 8: then onto the other.
Speaker 9: Another thing is.
Speaker 8: I'm sitting there and when I said I'm not keen
Speaker 8: on technology, I'm not. But I do have the ability
Speaker 8: with my phone to put it on speaker and go
Speaker 8: and do some other errands.
Speaker 6: So I did, you can multitier.
Speaker 9: I can multitier right, because you don't want to lose
Speaker 9: your thing?
Speaker 12: On?
Speaker 9: Hold, did a load of washing? Did a basket of ironing?
Speaker 9: Made the bed? Did this? Did that?
Speaker 8: Reading the newspapers online, which is what I always do,
Speaker 8: et cetera, reading and doing it on I'm just thinking
Speaker 8: to myself, how on earth do people would people that
Speaker 8: were older, how would you cope with it? Because along
Speaker 8: all the way and there are these lovely young people
Speaker 8: that end up answering the phone and as soon as
Speaker 8: one answered, I've said, if I get cut off, please
Speaker 8: bring me back. Oh, yes, yes, yes we will.
Speaker 9: Now the moral of the story.
Speaker 8: Is I have a lot of patience because it's no
Speaker 8: point yelling and screaming at people.
Speaker 9: I have patients.
Speaker 8: I'm a goal oriented person. My goal at the end
Speaker 8: is to get the new idea, get it.
Speaker 9: All hooked up.
Speaker 6: Yep. And they're working with you, and they're working within
Speaker 6: the system.
Speaker 9: No, but they're not working they're not working off a script.
Speaker 8: But they did say, we are getting so many of
Speaker 8: these and we understand why it is.
Speaker 9: But you apparently are the passkey. I still don't understand.
Speaker 8: You apparently need a pasky, but if you're not using
Speaker 8: paskis anywhere, you don't actually need it. So you know,
Speaker 8: five and a half hours later, everything is all done.
Speaker 8: But I just thought to myself, no wonder people get Well,
Speaker 8: you know, what's the word the verb is whelmed.
Speaker 9: I don't quite know what whelmed is.
Speaker 8: But I wasn't underwhelmed, but I wasn't a bit overwhelmed
Speaker 8: as well. And I'm just thinking, people try and help,
Speaker 8: but g whiz. And you know, I ended up with
Speaker 8: a tax office and I said to the fellow, you know,
Speaker 8: it's only the law abiding people that actually ring you,
Speaker 8: isn't it.
Speaker 9: And it went oh, And I said, well, you know,
Speaker 9: it just takes so long.
Speaker 8: And I just I deal with a lot of older
Speaker 8: people in my life as well, and I thought, this
Speaker 8: is a very difficult situation because through really no fould
Speaker 8: of my own, because I knew what my passkey was,
Speaker 8: it just wasn't recognizing it. I've had to start all
Speaker 8: over again. And as you and I would know that
Speaker 8: to set up something that you perhaps set up twenty
Speaker 8: odd years ago, to rego and relink things and the
Speaker 8: stuff that you're asked. It's good that their security but
Speaker 8: I just wondered, as anybody else had that happened to
Speaker 8: them recently in the last couple of weeks with this
Speaker 8: pasky that you've got to put into Services Australia. If
Speaker 8: you're thinking of doing it, do not let me save
Speaker 8: you five and a half hours of your life in
Speaker 8: doing it.
Speaker 9: I just thought, Gee, it's frustrating.
Speaker 6: Did you are you caught up also in a couple
Speaker 6: of years ago.
Speaker 8: No, I'm not, but I do feel for the people
Speaker 8: as part of the network that unfortunately can't So for
Speaker 8: everybody that knows there was a hack into the nine
Speaker 8: network Australia and there are certain people that are affected.
Speaker 8: You only get one taxation number for life. Yes, they
Speaker 8: can't do it. And these people in our organization that
Speaker 8: are affected. For them to get into their you know,
Speaker 8: ATO portal, you get a thirty minute window.
Speaker 9: And it's very very difficult.
Speaker 8: And whether you've got an accountant or you're doing it yourself,
Speaker 8: it's a nightmare.
Speaker 6: So yeah, So for those who don't know you're one
Speaker 6: of those where nine copped the cybersecurity attack, people's tax
Speaker 6: file numbers were leaked or whatever. I don't know what
Speaker 6: information they got, but yeah, there has been a block
Speaker 6: put on my tax file number. So anytime I ever
Speaker 6: need to do anything tax related, it involves a call
Speaker 6: to the tax office, which you just don't want to
Speaker 6: have to do. You don't want to have to ring
Speaker 6: them and be on hold all that time.
Speaker 7: You don't.
Speaker 8: But this was the funniest thing is within that window
Speaker 8: of one of our holds on. I actually went and
Speaker 8: picked up the kids from school. I had the phone
Speaker 8: on speaker in the car naturally hands free, because I thought,
Speaker 8: and it did say your wait time is thirty eight minutes,
Speaker 8: but up and back to the school for court to
Speaker 8: do this is right sent to the kids when you
Speaker 8: get in the car and do this.
Speaker 9: And it got home. But I just thought, it's just
Speaker 9: one of those things that you just it's frustrating.
Speaker 6: Yeah, one double three six nine three one double three
Speaker 6: eight eighty two.
Speaker 9: I've got a calling to you.
Speaker 6: We'd love it, We'd love your calls. It is seventeen
Speaker 6: after midnight, which is seventeen after ten in Perth and
Speaker 6: in Adelaide it's thirteen to midnight quick break. We'll come
Speaker 6: back with more of caroly Kats and Barnas and your calls.
Speaker 6: Caraly Kats and Barnas is here in the studio and
Speaker 6: we take your calls one double three eight eighty two
Speaker 6: or one double three six nine three text us as well.
Speaker 6: I haven't given that number out yet. Zero four double
Speaker 6: seven six nine three six ninety three, Curently. Carl rung
Speaker 6: in off here and said, Carly is dead right. It
Speaker 6: is way too hard to get through to the government.
Speaker 6: It also took Carl five hours on the phone to
Speaker 6: get on to send a link. Too hard for older
Speaker 6: people to.
Speaker 9: Get help, Thank you, Carl. That is the point.
Speaker 8: So look, in a long winded way, I should have
Speaker 8: said in the beginning, these people have a very difficult
Speaker 8: job to do. But as I said, one has to
Speaker 8: be focused on the objective and things. I'm not someone
Speaker 8: that loses my temper on the phone or anything like that,
Speaker 8: but it is very difficult, and I actually thought, I'm
Speaker 8: I'm up with it as much as I possibly can be.
Speaker 8: But for older people to get help, because it's very difficult.
Speaker 8: But as I said, five and a half hours, I'm
Speaker 8: just lucky that I did it on a day off. Yeah,
Speaker 8: but you just think how to other no wonder people
Speaker 8: just give up. But unfortunately, when you get a new
Speaker 8: mic of ID or new servant, whatever it might be.
Speaker 9: You can't.
Speaker 8: Don't give up because, as the lady said, you've got
Speaker 8: to reload all your information as well.
Speaker 9: But yeah, a little bit difficult.
Speaker 8: So if there's anybody out there that's had similar let
Speaker 8: us know. I mean, hats off. I got my I
Speaker 8: got my thing all solved and done. But again, you
Speaker 8: need a window of time. And if you're a mum
Speaker 8: with very young kids and things, or you've got caring
Speaker 8: duties that are on how on earth do you get
Speaker 8: it done?
Speaker 6: Well, my accountant who does my tax return, because of
Speaker 6: the lock on the tax file number, he can't just
Speaker 6: log in at any time and do my tax return.
Speaker 6: He needs to ring me and say I'm going to
Speaker 6: do your tax return now. Can you ring the government now?
Speaker 6: And if I'm out and about doing something, then I've
Speaker 6: got to stop what I'm doing to ring.
Speaker 9: But even you have what a fifteen to twenty minute
Speaker 9: wait to get through the normal number.
Speaker 8: I know, and I don't know what the answer is.
Speaker 8: I mean, it was funny with one of the young
Speaker 8: people on the phone that was helping. I said, you know,
Speaker 8: another twenty or thirty years your job will be defunct
Speaker 8: because all of you people will be all of our
Speaker 8: ages and you'll know what to do. But it is
Speaker 8: you want to speak to someone to help, but it
Speaker 8: just takes time. The other thing is I've come to
Speaker 8: the conclusion that perhaps people of you're my generation, while
Speaker 8: we're patient, we don't want to wait, whereas the young
Speaker 8: ones they must be just happy to wait and they
Speaker 8: just continue doing what they're doing.
Speaker 6: Because I look at it, scroll through Instagram.
Speaker 9: Video, you know this is what I'm doing now exactly.
Speaker 6: Helen's called in from South Melbourne. Morning.
Speaker 13: Helen, Hi, Simon, Hello, Curly, Hello Helen, Arlie. I find
Speaker 13: who's such an antidepressant?
Speaker 9: Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: She's always she sounds so cheerful.
Speaker 7: Doesn't she have to be?
Speaker 9: You have to be, Helen.
Speaker 13: I think we share some sociological and moral philosophies. Oh anyway,
Speaker 13: I find look as an we'll not older old person
Speaker 13: with no family and very participation in the technological world
Speaker 13: because I can't afford it and be I would never
Speaker 13: understand it. But I'm outraged at the sheer lack of
Speaker 13: efficiency and systems and caring of the modern world. Ye
Speaker 13: for example, I don't even know what My goalt is.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's a common thing. So Helen, what I'll
Speaker 8: say to you is been from good experience. My mum's
Speaker 8: ninety and my mother in law is eighty six, and
Speaker 8: they've both got some health issues, etc. It's very very
Speaker 8: difficult for older people of the generation, say in seventies
Speaker 8: and eighties. Not everybody, but let's just say that if
Speaker 8: you're not up with some of the technology or everything online,
Speaker 8: it's very difficult. And so I do a lot of
Speaker 8: their stuff. But of course there are different rules for
Speaker 8: that as well, because you've got to have privacy in
Speaker 8: this and that I understand exactly what Helen is saying.
Speaker 8: And Helen, we love it when you ring here because
Speaker 8: it's our listeners that help make this station in twenty
Speaker 8: four to seven, So thank you for listening, and thank
Speaker 8: you for ringing as well. Look with my gov, what
Speaker 8: it is is they try and push everything online. Now
Speaker 8: everything is online, so if you go to the.
Speaker 6: Doctor, when it works, it is.
Speaker 8: Really and it is really good, and it's sort of
Speaker 8: think of it as a big folder that you can
Speaker 8: link up with.
Speaker 9: Whatever it is.
Speaker 13: How can it exist? And the government has never told
Speaker 13: me about it? Like a couple of months ago, I
Speaker 13: had an email saying, presumably from my GOV. Saying that
Speaker 13: there was a problem and I suspected it with spam
Speaker 13: and it involved my bank. That's right. It knew what
Speaker 13: bank I was with. So to notify the bank and
Speaker 13: to try and notify my GOV and say I don't
Speaker 13: know what this is all about, and I don't know
Speaker 13: what my gove is. That took days. I had something
Speaker 13: like thirty calls back from the bank, but I didn't
Speaker 13: know what was the bank because they used a bot
Speaker 13: which wouldn't leave a message on maranting machine. And I
Speaker 13: felt as sailed, frightened and alienated from society.
Speaker 8: Look, Helen, I honestly I hear what you're saying, because
Speaker 8: there are so many levels of security as well, and
Speaker 8: you know there are lots of warnings about scams and
Speaker 8: things like that as well. The only thing is and
Speaker 8: look on I must say there are a lot of
Speaker 8: government departments now that do and I can say this
Speaker 8: because with mom and mother in law, there are a
Speaker 8: lot of government departments out that just say, or if
Speaker 8: there's somebody in your family that knows about.
Speaker 9: Computers, just ask them.
Speaker 8: It is very, very difficult and as we know there
Speaker 8: are a lot of spam emails around, Helen. I know
Speaker 8: that you said that you're on your own. You didn't
Speaker 8: didn't have family or anything. If you've got some friends
Speaker 8: and perhaps they've got children in their you know, late teens,
Speaker 8: early twenties or thirties, maybe they can help.
Speaker 9: But there are.
Speaker 13: Almost everybody I know has died or moved in the
Speaker 13: last four years. So I think it'd be really a
Speaker 13: good idea if horrible counsels actually had an offer specializing
Speaker 13: in I'll.
Speaker 8: Tell you what he and I'll tell you where they are.
Speaker 8: We won't say on air the subburb that you're in,
Speaker 8: but in local government areas they do run computer courses
Speaker 8: online for people that have no expertise and no knowledge
Speaker 8: and they haven't used computers or anything at all. I
Speaker 8: know that in the area that we are they often
Speaker 8: run them every couple of months, just for people to do.
Speaker 8: Now that is scary, of course for people that have
Speaker 8: never done it, but.
Speaker 11: What you will.
Speaker 13: I can do all that, and I know they do that,
Speaker 13: but just to help you out when you have you know,
Speaker 13: as I said, I hear the term my gov being
Speaker 13: floated around, and I think, well, I guess I've been
Speaker 13: on the pension for some years. I guess if it
Speaker 13: was something I should know about, they would have told.
Speaker 6: Me, well, you won't have my GOV account. We must
Speaker 6: move on.
Speaker 14: Helen.
Speaker 6: Thank you for the call, but if you haven't set
Speaker 6: up on my GOV account, effectively you don't have one.
Speaker 6: I would say anytime, anytime that the bank rings you,
Speaker 6: it's not the bank ringing you.
Speaker 15: It's a scam.
Speaker 6: Banks just don't be a scam.
Speaker 9: It would be a scam.
Speaker 6: So anytime the bank calls you, or the government calls you,
Speaker 6: hang up. Don't even bother talking to you. Hang up,
Speaker 6: look up the number for the bank or the government
Speaker 6: department that supposedly called you, and call them back, because
Speaker 6: then you know you're talking to the real people. Definitely,
Speaker 6: That's that's the one bit of advice I argue there.
Speaker 9: It is you should be able to walk.
Speaker 6: You should be able to walk into your local council
Speaker 6: offices and say, hey, I need help with something, I
Speaker 6: pay my rates, help me, and I reckon they should, Oh,
Speaker 6: there's probably some sort of service that they may offer
Speaker 6: that we don't know.
Speaker 9: I mean, look that counsels do a lot of good
Speaker 9: things as well.
Speaker 8: They always got a bad knock because they seemingly waste
Speaker 8: money quite often in projects that don't often need doing,
Speaker 8: such as sitting.
Speaker 6: Amongst all that infrastructure, there probably are things.
Speaker 9: And that they probably as well.
Speaker 8: I know, I I do understand where Helen is coming
Speaker 8: from as well, and it is scary, but eats one
Speaker 8: of those things that are at some point they are
Speaker 8: going to force everybody online because.
Speaker 9: That's the way that it's going unfortunately.
Speaker 6: Yes, all right, thanks Helen, good luck with that. Greg's
Speaker 6: in Sheltenham.
Speaker 16: I Greg, oh Simon. We haven't spoken for so long,
Speaker 16: and you take me on, Greg Cheltenham. No frills, no baggage,
Speaker 16: no nothing. You listen to what I say. I've only
Speaker 16: got two points. Yes, I love you both.
Speaker 9: Oh, thank you, Greg.
Speaker 16: Simon. If you'd like to hear something really hilarious and
Speaker 16: explanatory at the same time, go back to the old
Speaker 16: Monty Python. The worm has turned and that will explain everything.
Speaker 6: Oh I don't think I know that sketch. I don't
Speaker 6: think I'm a bit of a Monty Python Aiernardo over
Speaker 6: my journey, but I don't think I know that one.
Speaker 6: So I am writing that down now. The worm has
Speaker 6: turned all right, I will check it out.
Speaker 16: And by the ways to their Simon, Yeah, by g
Speaker 16: your Essen and boys gave it a red hot go
Speaker 16: to night mate.
Speaker 6: Did they did Endon play today? Did they? How did we?
Speaker 16: Did we win? No? But oh boy, character there are good.
Speaker 6: I have faith in the old Dons. Embarrassing. I didn't
Speaker 6: know they played though.
Speaker 16: That's the talk against Simon.
Speaker 6: Greg.
Speaker 9: Thank you.
Speaker 8: Greg also reminded of people Citizens Advice Bureau. That's also
Speaker 8: very good, is it? Yes, it is, and they're still around.
Speaker 8: So Citizens Advice Bureau will be able to.
Speaker 6: Help the Citizens Advice Bureau. Yes, okay, I've not heard
Speaker 6: of them.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they can give free legal advice as well for
Speaker 8: a certain period of time and they will actually help
Speaker 8: you with issues that you might have.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, well that's a good one.
Speaker 9: That's all right?
Speaker 6: Is that in like? Is that national? Is that all states?
Speaker 9: All states?
Speaker 8: I'm still a little bit of Google in the breaking
Speaker 8: and get the ones for here as well.
Speaker 2: But it is good.
Speaker 6: Margaret is in Perth time, Margaret.
Speaker 17: Post time, and I have not spoken with you, and
Speaker 17: I don't know you particularly if you.
Speaker 18: Know what I mean.
Speaker 6: No, that's that's fair enough. Yes, I'm infrequently on, so
Speaker 6: it's it's a rare occasion. So you and I are
Speaker 6: both no worries.
Speaker 17: And I know, Caroline, I am seventy four years old
Speaker 17: and I have had no problems at all with Centerally Medicare.
Speaker 17: I'm trying to think of all my gap. I have
Speaker 17: recently been in emergency at r pH and I wanted
Speaker 17: to look at my record health record, you know what
Speaker 17: I mean like that, because I wanted to know what
Speaker 17: the report of my ex trays were. And I just said,
Speaker 17: everything was fantastic.
Speaker 8: Oh, yes, great, No, that's wonderful, Margaret, And there you go.
Speaker 8: Margaret seventy four, she's an advocate as well. Well, once
Speaker 8: you get the system, it's great. It works, and that's wonderful.
Speaker 17: It was fantastic. It is no problems whatsoever.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6: That's a that's a good review, Margaret. They'll be happy
Speaker 6: with that.
Speaker 8: I basically locked myself out by having invented a pass
Speaker 8: key and using it, but it wasn't recognizing what I
Speaker 8: was doing because I needed another bit that I didn't
Speaker 8: have on the phone.
Speaker 9: So there we go. Such to be canceled and reborn.
Speaker 17: Absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 6: Well, good on your Margaret, thank you for that. Hopefully
Speaker 6: that gives other people inspiration to at least look into
Speaker 6: it if they haven't done so already. Appreciate the call Margaret,
Speaker 6: lovely to chat to you for the first time. Hope
Speaker 6: we get to do it again.
Speaker 19: When you're right.
Speaker 17: When I hear i'll probably ring beautiful.
Speaker 6: I look forward to next time we meet. Thanks Margaret.
Speaker 6: We'll knock off another break here and back to your call.
Speaker 6: So one double three eighty two and one double three
Speaker 6: six nine three, keep them coming. Gabe from the newsroom
Speaker 6: has just dropped off a breaking story, as it were
Speaker 6: for Melbournians. If you're listening in South Australia or Western Australia,
Speaker 6: this won't be for you, but we need people out
Speaker 6: there in Victoria to be looking. At the moment. Police
Speaker 6: are currently searching for an appealing for public assistance to
Speaker 6: help locate a missing girl who goes by the name
Speaker 6: of Ivy. She's only eleven, an eleven year old girl
Speaker 6: last seen in Cranbourn North yesterday afternoon. That's Melbourne time,
Speaker 6: eight twenty am, so she's been missing for a good
Speaker 6: eighteen hours. Both police and Ivy's family have serious concerns
Speaker 6: for her welfare due to her age and disappearance being
Speaker 6: out of character. She doesn't have access to a mobile phone.
Speaker 6: She's of Asian appearance, one hundred and sixty centimeters tall,
Speaker 6: with the medium build and dark chest length air and
Speaker 6: light blue glasses. She was last seen wearing a Navy
Speaker 6: school uniform carrying a backpack. An image of Ivy has
Speaker 6: been released in the hope that it will help those
Speaker 6: assisting in locating her, and she's been known to frequent
Speaker 6: the Cranbin North area. So if you see Ivy and look,
Speaker 6: Let's be honest, if you're out and about and you
Speaker 6: see an eleven year old Asian school girl walking around,
Speaker 6: it's going to be her. So this is a thing
Speaker 6: I always say. Generally people will be attracted to light
Speaker 6: at this time of night, it's cold outside. If you
Speaker 6: happen to be near a McDonald's store that's a twenty
Speaker 6: four hour thing or a seven eleven a service station,
Speaker 6: just drive through, have a look, see if you can
Speaker 6: see it.
Speaker 9: And her image is on the Victoria Police website.
Speaker 6: Yes Pole Vic yeap Vic Pole the website, there's a
Speaker 6: picture of her there. But if you're out and about,
Speaker 6: especially in the Cranburn area. We need your help. We
Speaker 6: want to we want to be able to let the
Speaker 6: family sleep peacefully tonight. One's there. We united with her,
Speaker 6: so if you're in that area, please look out for
Speaker 6: her and her name is Ivy. Keep an eye out please.
Speaker 6: Now you've got information currently.
Speaker 9: What was that?
Speaker 8: Oh yes, I was going to say so I mentioned
Speaker 8: Citizens Advice Bureau before a little bit, slipping back into
Speaker 8: into wa.
Speaker 9: So Western Australians knows Citizens Advice Bureau in Victoria. It
Speaker 9: is the Community.
Speaker 8: Information and Support Victoria cis VIC and it's the peak
Speaker 8: body representing local community information and support services. And you
Speaker 8: know it can help you with with lots of different
Speaker 8: things as well, So you know.
Speaker 9: Things like that.
Speaker 8: I mean, we I feel for anyone who's older that
Speaker 8: doesn't have a grasp of technology because it moves very
Speaker 8: very fast.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I also know.
Speaker 8: The other side of having got two people that have
Speaker 8: no idea of the technology and one is trying to
Speaker 8: do it for them.
Speaker 9: All the time, you can see.
Speaker 8: Them being more and more marginalized. And you know the
Speaker 8: world isn't catered to that anymore. So it's a matter
Speaker 8: of trying to keep up and do it as well,
Speaker 8: and we hear every second day about scams and not
Speaker 8: doing this and not doing that, and yeah, it's just
Speaker 8: one of those things that happens, and.
Speaker 6: There will be people listening who go, oh, I don't
Speaker 6: want to look stupid to I don't want to reach out.
Speaker 6: I feel like an idiot. I'm fifty three. I've always
Speaker 6: been very good with technology and stuff. My kids run
Speaker 6: rings around, of course, so I'm at an age in
Speaker 6: my fifties where I'm pretty good with most things. But
Speaker 6: there is stuff that my kids know that I will
Speaker 6: never know.
Speaker 9: Because you've had to breach. You've had to bridge.
Speaker 8: You've known the world pre computers and pre iPhones, because
Speaker 8: don't forget the iPhone's only been around sixteen years and
Speaker 8: the mobile has been around just over twenty two years.
Speaker 8: I think it is you've had to bridge. You've gone
Speaker 8: from that world to this world where we've got a
Speaker 8: couple of generations now that that's all they've known. That's
Speaker 8: all they've known is the technology. And the thing is
Speaker 8: it is important. It's always a constant battle, as appearance,
Speaker 8: between managing the screen time and the technology, but realizing
Speaker 8: we don't people don't want to get left behind as well,
Speaker 8: because it is a scary thing. And as I said,
Speaker 8: hats off to everybody at all the government departments I
Speaker 8: spoke to.
Speaker 9: I got my thing done. It's more the waiting time
Speaker 9: and just the having to do it and having.
Speaker 8: To reprove yourself from Relink. And then there was an
Speaker 8: error on the system as well that sort of got
Speaker 8: overridden as well. And you can always be funny on
Speaker 8: the phone, like I said, Look, you know, I'm not
Speaker 8: a complete clutch of technology, however, and then they'll ask
Speaker 8: you other questions and they gave a link in code
Speaker 8: on a couple of things. It's just two hours and
Speaker 8: fifteen minutes on hold to the ATO at the end
Speaker 8: to the follow it's only Laura binding people that are bringing.
Speaker 9: You please help and they did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, lovely. So CISVIC dot org dot au if you
Speaker 6: Victoria CABWA dot com do autea in South Austraia, South Australia.
Speaker 6: I've just googled Citizens Advice b your South Australia and
Speaker 6: it came up. In South Australia, free legal advice and
Speaker 6: assistants are primarily provided by the Legal Services Commission of
Speaker 6: South Australia. So that covers everyone, I think, and if
Speaker 6: you're in Sydney or Brisbane listening over the web, sorry,
Speaker 6: look it up yourself. We'll be busy. We've got too
Speaker 6: much on, no disrespect. If we if we were national
Speaker 6: there through the we'd given to you those as well.
Speaker 6: Sean has called from Tazzy.
Speaker 12: Hi, Sean Olright, so it's been a while since I've
Speaker 12: talked to you and Caroline.
Speaker 9: Hello, Hello Sean.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'll be back calling again quite often soon. I'm
Speaker 12: just having a few technical differties at the moment. But anyway, yeah,
Speaker 12: I was when you when you I have diffldy with
Speaker 12: government places and that sometimes do like I need to
Speaker 12: get some help from this place, and I need to
Speaker 12: prove that I've got a mental illness and to prove
Speaker 12: I've been diagnosed with a mental earners, I've got to
Speaker 12: get all letter and it's going to cost me ninety
Speaker 12: dollars to get the letter.
Speaker 6: Would who do you have to get that letter from?
Speaker 6: I would have thought a doctor would provide that letter
Speaker 6: for nothing, that's.
Speaker 12: Right, No, but Tasman, now there's not many medicare doctors what.
Speaker 6: You mean, So you've got to pay for an appointment
Speaker 6: to go to the doctor to get them to do
Speaker 6: the letter. Yeah, that's annoying.
Speaker 12: Don't you think a letter like that? You could just
Speaker 12: say can you write me a letter? And they write
Speaker 12: it out, there's twenty bucks.
Speaker 6: Thank so you later, I would have thought that should
Speaker 6: be the way things goes.
Speaker 9: Common sense doesn't. It doesn't apply.
Speaker 6: It doesn't always work the way it should. But yeah,
Speaker 6: we agree with you Short, that should be the way
Speaker 6: it is.
Speaker 12: And when you're working with tax departments and other places,
Speaker 12: sometimes auto voiceover things you get when when your first
Speaker 12: ring said the lincolor somewhere and they go do this
Speaker 12: and do that, and then they explain all the rules
Speaker 12: and every time you're ringing out to go through the
Speaker 12: same thing over and over and drives your batty.
Speaker 9: I know, I must have met.
Speaker 8: I would have loved Simon's theme song to beat Beyond
Speaker 8: whole Thing, because I think it would put everybody in.
Speaker 19: A good movie.
Speaker 6: But if you heard that on rotation for.
Speaker 9: Two fifteen seconds, and I took a screenshot as well
Speaker 9: on my phone because I thought, you know, we'll just see,
Speaker 9: we'll just see how long the wait time is.
Speaker 6: Well, good to hear from you, Sean, You're right it
Speaker 6: has been youngs since we've spoken, so good. Good to
Speaker 6: hear from you. Thanks for the call. David's in Israel. Hi, David.
Speaker 20: Simon, Caro, Hi charently great to me from Sean the
Speaker 20: blast in the past. I'm sorry about his troubles, but
Speaker 20: I'm patty here from him and he's okay. Caroly, you
Speaker 20: should be PREMI Victoria Minister of Australia and probably Erica too.
Speaker 8: No, but you know what I meant, but to give us. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I love my segment, love my stuff. I'm fraid I'm
Speaker 8: not in radio. But what I will say David is
Speaker 8: I did actually make a comment to my kids and
Speaker 8: I said, you know, if I had the opportunity to
Speaker 8: be whatever it is, a government minister for the day,
Speaker 8: I would just want to revolutionize the phone system for
Speaker 8: all these things. I would want to have a quicker service.
Speaker 8: I want to employ people to just pick up the
Speaker 8: phone quicker to do it. Because to resolve myne ary
Speaker 8: only took fifteen minutes.
Speaker 20: But to get I mean more, the more Jackson's in
Speaker 20: the world, the better, because he answers than he has
Speaker 20: a beautiful conversation see and sometimes it's the pleasure court
Speaker 20: government is terrible here. Also, that's the thing. They have
Speaker 20: this thing here it actually works very very well. That
Speaker 20: actually it's easy to get too and it works well.
Speaker 20: My problem is I keep getting spam ats from your
Speaker 20: government Australia. You are this EUR account is about to
Speaker 20: be deleted. I mean, what have I got to do
Speaker 20: with him? You know, I don't even know why they
Speaker 20: how they know me.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And that's the thing, isn't it.
Speaker 8: I mean, as I said, I will put money on
Speaker 8: this one day that there will be a court case
Speaker 8: where somebody evidently doesn't pay their tax and it goes
Speaker 8: right to write to the Supreme Court and they say, well,
Speaker 8: I didn't know that it was for real.
Speaker 9: I could have been scammed.
Speaker 6: I thought it was because you.
Speaker 8: Just don't know that there's scams around all over the place. Now, David,
Speaker 8: thank you a lovely caller and we love hearing from
Speaker 8: you as well.
Speaker 9: Stay safe, David, stay really safe.
Speaker 6: Thank you. Mate. Adrian's and Mildura High Adrian.
Speaker 21: Oh, good morning, Simon, Carol morning, good morning, and I
Speaker 21: just got a couple of issues. Well, this is my
Speaker 21: experiences with my guv. Firstly, when you're ringing up center link,
Speaker 21: unless you're really they terminated a court because you're abusive,
Speaker 21: but the call drops out because obviously you're lining up
Speaker 21: waiting for forty five minutes to out and normally getting
Speaker 21: through all these since lenk departments, they don't even apparently.
Speaker 21: I've been told memerous times if the call drops out
Speaker 21: as you're in a black spot and a phone or whatever,
Speaker 21: that they don't even ring you back. I think it's
Speaker 21: the courtesy that they should ring you back if it's
Speaker 21: an issue like that where the calls accidentally dropped out,
Speaker 21: unless you're being abusive to them and they terminate the
Speaker 21: call because they should understand there's a long waiting time
Speaker 21: to get through to these departments, and then if we
Speaker 21: have to ring them back, we're waiting at another hourject
Speaker 21: get through. We're speaking to somebody different next time.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and Adrian, you reminded me of something as well,
Speaker 8: because what I will say is that with all the
Speaker 8: departments that had to contact, there was an option to
Speaker 8: press hash.
Speaker 9: To be on a callback.
Speaker 8: But the reason why I didn't do it is and
Speaker 8: this is also a bugbear fly. I don't have many
Speaker 8: bug bears, but simon, you love technology, you love the iPhone,
Speaker 8: you'll know In the old days of a couple of
Speaker 8: years ago, if you were on the phone and someone
Speaker 8: was ringing through to you, it would actually come up
Speaker 8: and say so and so is ringing except or reject call.
Speaker 9: But nowadays you.
Speaker 8: Can be on the phone, you get off the phone
Speaker 8: call and suddenly there's a miscall from some or whatever.
Speaker 8: And I thought to myself, well, hang on a second.
Speaker 8: If I press the hash to be in the callback
Speaker 8: for them to ring me back, I can't then ring
Speaker 8: the next apartment because I'll go around. I've actually got
Speaker 8: to wait on hold and see this sh.
Speaker 6: That makes sense, That makes sense.
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, So the other thing too, if I can
Speaker 21: talk about your health issue. Now, when I went in
Speaker 21: to try and change some of my health dates, because
Speaker 21: I'm not the one putting him in, it's my GP
Speaker 21: or the the specialist that does this, it gets gets
Speaker 21: put through by somebody from center Link or my go
Speaker 21: onto your my health record, you know that section. Yes, Now,
Speaker 21: when I went in to try and change it, I'm not.
Speaker 21: I couldn't change it, couldn't check because there's some errors
Speaker 21: there regarding the dates when I had my tests, et cetera.
Speaker 21: And I had to ring the one three number for
Speaker 21: settling for for that change, for that change to occur.
Speaker 21: But you know what, when when I got through and
Speaker 21: got them, told them to change the dates and everything
Speaker 21: like that, and then I got another date for another
Speaker 21: specialist appointment. My doctor went up to look up my
Speaker 21: health record to see the current history and what had
Speaker 21: been sent through. It was all partially wrong anyway. They
Speaker 21: didn't even change. So I don't know what's going on
Speaker 21: if the doctors are getting trying to find out whether
Speaker 21: or not it's all been updated, and then their doctors
Speaker 21: are telling me as a patient to get back to
Speaker 21: Central Link. It's a lot of time wasting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that it is.
Speaker 9: Yeah it is. So we've all got our little stories, haven't.
Speaker 6: We exactly right? Good on you, Adrian, Thank you. I
Speaker 6: hope at least feels all be better getting it off
Speaker 6: your ches. We do need to break back in a
Speaker 6: second with more from Caroly, Kats and Barnas. It's eight
Speaker 6: minutes to news time. Jim is in warnable. Hi, Jim
Speaker 6: died Jim. Hello, Jim, Jim.
Speaker 9: A pocket doll. Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 6: He's not paying attention whatever he's doing. Sounds like he's
Speaker 6: in a car. I never mind. We'll get to we'll
Speaker 6: get back to your gym. Leo's on the road and
Speaker 6: day Leo.
Speaker 22: Okay, I am dysplexic, have been all my life, and
Speaker 22: my biggest horror is when I'm told you have to
Speaker 22: go to the app and I have so much trouble
Speaker 22: getting it, getting getting things done. I do have people
Speaker 22: that help, yeah, but it is one of those cases
Speaker 22: where I feel because I don't know, just scared to ask.
Speaker 22: But most people understand that it's just it's I have
Speaker 22: to ask and ask, and it's just it's so much.
Speaker 22: It's so you know, sort of I don't know, soul
Speaker 22: destroying in a lot of ways.
Speaker 6: But Leo, aren't you an uber driver?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 22: Yeah, well I can. I can run that appy because
Speaker 22: it runs else It basically runs itself. But to get
Speaker 22: onto it, I had to go through my job service provider.
Speaker 22: It took us about two three weeks to finish to
Speaker 22: get it done, which is apparently quite normal, but yeah,
Speaker 22: I had to go back over and over again and
Speaker 22: finally got it installed, finally got off all the information
Speaker 22: uploaded and got on the app. But again, the apport
Speaker 22: runs itself. I mean, it just tap it and then
Speaker 22: slide at the end.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's fair enough.
Speaker 8: You have to get a three O W app make
Speaker 8: sure you download that crystal clear quality and sound.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty easy. It's very easy.
Speaker 9: Easy, it's great. It's very very good for the nine network.
Speaker 9: I think Jim is back.
Speaker 22: Sorry, just uploading I find very very hard.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, no, that's fair enough to Yeah, thanks thanks Leo.
Speaker 6: Jim is back from Warnable.
Speaker 9: Hi Jim, good morning.
Speaker 12: Sorry.
Speaker 23: So, yeah, so you hopped out of the truck for men.
Speaker 23: I didn't think i'd be up so quick.
Speaker 13: That's all right.
Speaker 23: I signed the lad before it takes the calls Jackson.
Speaker 23: If you ever get to figure us off the pension offers,
Speaker 23: don't always take them for granted. Because when I when
Speaker 23: they took the part age pension off me because I
Speaker 23: was over the asset limit.
Speaker 12: They told me.
Speaker 23: I had forty six thousand dollars more than I actually did.
Speaker 23: Oh yeah, and when then the other then after I
Speaker 23: lost the pension signmon the money girl applied for her
Speaker 23: as soon as Australia health Care Card and you can
Speaker 23: have an income of ninety thousand dollars before that cuts out. Yeah,
Speaker 23: and she's I was talking to her when she was
Speaker 23: doing on the computer because she's in Bellavat, because she
Speaker 23: she does all that thing for me, because I can't
Speaker 23: do it.
Speaker 24: And.
Speaker 23: Because she won and want me tax details in the
Speaker 23: last financial year they were telling the machine was telling
Speaker 23: her from the from the pension office and the tax
Speaker 23: office on the pens office.
Speaker 18: Sorry but.
Speaker 14: Me and come was.
Speaker 23: Eighty thousand and it was only fifty six working part time.
Speaker 8: And I guess Jim, in that case, you do need
Speaker 8: to Yeah, that's what I mean. You do need to
Speaker 8: ring to try and get things sorted out. You can't
Speaker 8: always do everything online. You would to be able to
Speaker 8: speak to somebody as well. I'm glad I got sorted out, Jim.
Speaker 6: Good advice from Jim. Don't always just trust the numbers.
Speaker 6: Always double check back in a sec. We got news
Speaker 6: in one minute. It's nearly eleven o'clock in Perth, nearly
Speaker 6: half past twelve in Adelaide and nearly one o'clock in Melbourne.
Speaker 6: Has been lovely.
Speaker 8: It's been lovely to have you as well. So I
Speaker 8: get to see you all weekend though. Yes it's a
Speaker 8: bonus tape.
Speaker 6: Yes for three aw listeners. I'll be on Saturday night.

Speaker 9: It's loorry to have you on air.
Speaker 6: Good on your thanks Caroly, always a pleasure to work
Speaker 6: with you too. After the news. More of your calls
Speaker 6: one double three six nine three or one double three
Speaker 6: eight eighty two, keep them coming, whatever is on your mind.
Speaker 2: Now, this is Australia Open Eyes with Simon Owens.
Speaker 6: Our number two of Australia Overnight. Good to have your
Speaker 6: company and give us a call one double three eight
Speaker 6: eighty two or one double three six nine three whatever
Speaker 6: is on your mind. You're welcome to give us a buzz.
Speaker 6: Jackson and I are here taking your calls right through
Speaker 6: for the next four and a half hours. Thank you
Speaker 6: to Caraly, Kats and Barnas the Princess of all things
Speaker 6: common sense. Yeah, we've got to come. Is there a
Speaker 6: nickname for Caraly in that I think the common Sense
Speaker 6: Princess or something like that. We'll come up with something,
Speaker 6: but always a pleasure to spend a now with Caraly.
Speaker 6: But it's all about you now and your calls, So
Speaker 6: get on the phone and give us a buzz. A
Speaker 6: couple of text messages. We have received quite a few,
Speaker 6: and I haven't read any of them out, but we
Speaker 6: are watching them as they come through, So just a
Speaker 6: handful I'll read out here whilst we build up delay
Speaker 6: before we get back to your calls. Good evening. I
Speaker 6: hope this doesn't sound the wrong way, but there's a
Speaker 6: lot of people out there that state they can't do something.
Speaker 6: Of course there are exceptions, but I think you can
Speaker 6: do and learn anything at any age. Can't and won't
Speaker 6: a different thank you, Ben from Marie. Look, it is true,
Speaker 6: I can't do something is a very different statement to
Speaker 6: I don't know how or won't do something. If yes,
Speaker 6: you're right, almost anybody could learn the technology if they need,
Speaker 6: if they really wanted to. But it does take an
Speaker 6: extraordinary amount of effort and concentration. If you're not if
Speaker 6: you've not followed technology as it's progressed, to suddenly embrace
Speaker 6: technology is a really it can be a really complex thing.
Speaker 6: There's I'm trying to think of a good example. In
Speaker 6: my life. There are things that I just don't do
Speaker 6: because I'm just not interested and therefore the actual act
Speaker 6: of doing that would actually be really really difficult for
Speaker 6: me and take a lot of time and effort. So
Speaker 6: I would say, ah, yeah, I just can't do that.
Speaker 6: But you're right, You're right. It is a case of
Speaker 6: I won't do that. But good point while made, Ben,
Speaker 6: Thank you, Tivvy says, whether it's Central Link, Combank or whoever,
Speaker 6: if I have an issue, I always fill in a
Speaker 6: complaint form and then they have to call me save
Speaker 6: something to get through to someone, not knowing how long
Speaker 6: you'll have to wait. Good on your Tivvyyah, good smart move.
Speaker 6: But again I always I would never accept a call
Speaker 6: from the bank or the government because I I'm immediately
Speaker 6: suspicious that it's going to be a scam, because so
Speaker 6: many of them are the number of messages I get
Speaker 6: from Westpac and A and Z and I've never had
Speaker 6: an account with them. And I got a message the
Speaker 6: other day saying that my Optus account was you know,
Speaker 6: they weren't able to build my Optus account because I
Speaker 6: needed to supply a new credit card. Never been with
Speaker 6: Optus in my life, so you know, I'm very wary
Speaker 6: of anybody ringing me. So I'm a big fan of
Speaker 6: if someone rings, you hang up ring them back, so
Speaker 6: you know you're getting onto the right people. Hi, Simon
Speaker 6: and Curly. This is Jenny fifty years old. Never been
Speaker 6: online and never intend being, although I must admit the
Speaker 6: government is making it very hard now. Sorry Simon Brisbane,
Speaker 6: beat your bombers tonight at the Gabba. Carlton loving Jenny.
Speaker 6: Good on your Jenny. Thank you for that. And yeah,
Speaker 6: you're right if you've never been online and you never
Speaker 6: intend to the government is making it hard because I
Speaker 6: guess it's a more secure form if you've got all
Speaker 6: those processes in place, it is more secures a thing
Speaker 6: people don't think about. I know people who have a
Speaker 6: credit card in their wallet and I've said you should
Speaker 6: do it on your phone, you know the tap and
Speaker 6: go on your phone rather than having the card in
Speaker 6: your wallet, and I, oh, no, I'm not putting my
Speaker 6: card on the phone. That's that's risky. No, it is
Speaker 6: so much more secure than carrying that bit of plastic
Speaker 6: around in your wallet. I had my card skimmed at
Speaker 6: a work function. I was actually at a three aw
Speaker 6: work function. It was a farewell for a former program director.
Speaker 6: I had my wallet in my coat jacket pocket and
Speaker 6: we were at a pub and I took my coat
Speaker 6: off and I hung it up near the door just
Speaker 6: there was a place where a coat wreck for people
Speaker 6: to put their coats. And somebody who's gone past and
Speaker 6: skimmed my card, which is just they've got a magnetic
Speaker 6: reader and they can just read your card without even
Speaker 6: taking it out of your pocket. They can skim it.
Speaker 6: That's what the word is called skimming. And by the
Speaker 6: time I got home, I'd bought one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: dollars worth of food from Adelaide at a KFC, and
Speaker 6: I'd spent more money in a hotel in Sydney. Yeah,
Speaker 6: they run up about five hundred dollars worth of bills
Speaker 6: and that was because somebody was able to walk past
Speaker 6: my coat and skim my card. They can't do that
Speaker 6: with a phone. Phones are so much more secure than
Speaker 6: the little bit of magnetic plastic. They're the dangerous things.
Speaker 6: So if you've got an option to put you to
Speaker 6: use a phone instead of a credit card, I suggest
Speaker 6: you do it anyway. That's just another example. All right,
Speaker 6: let's get to some calls. There's more text here, but
Speaker 6: I'll get back to some of those.
Speaker 25: Len's in Melton, Hilen, hi'mon, good to speak to you again.
Speaker 6: Thanks mate.
Speaker 25: First before that me call greatly from Sean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good to hear his voice.
Speaker 25: It was now getting on a technology things like computers
Speaker 25: and that I'm uh not really with it. Ah, but
Speaker 25: the what is she brilliant? She does everything?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 25: Yeah, she does. She does all the banking and this,
Speaker 25: that and the other and buy stuff. And because she's
Speaker 25: in the arts and crafts and the issues place much
Speaker 25: she's got this big bruin there and it's for a craft.
Speaker 6: How do you know she's not sticking a bit aside
Speaker 6: for a rainy day? No trust sorry is she trustworthy?
Speaker 22: Uh?
Speaker 18: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 25: I'm still making your odd check because when time just
Speaker 25: a short forty five years.
Speaker 6: But that's beautiful.
Speaker 25: She's doing okay. But but I remember back in the day,
Speaker 25: so Simon, I was working in the IDEO and this
Speaker 25: would have been late sixties, early seventies, and they ruled
Speaker 25: they desarted the gay computer, right, Yeah, and as I
Speaker 25: heard the word computer. I said, that's it, We're done,
Speaker 25: you know. But they came up for these majing things saying, oh,
Speaker 25: but it's going to it's copy. It's going to reduce
Speaker 25: the amount of paperwork. Yes, yeah, which I think it's done.
Speaker 25: The opposite.
Speaker 6: Actually, Well, that that's the thing, isn't it. Once upon
Speaker 6: a time, all of these things was. The idea was
Speaker 6: that everything was going to be excuse me, digital and
Speaker 6: we wouldn't need much paper. But the amount of stuff
Speaker 6: I have to print out now is ten times as
Speaker 6: much as Iver used to.
Speaker 25: When one thing Simon, you know, he said, what would
Speaker 25: you have liked to have done for a living?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 25: Right? And I always wanted to fly aeroplanes. I'm writing aeroplanes. Yeah,
Speaker 25: them the corners for twenty six years, and I said,
Speaker 25: I want to fly aeroplanes. And I flew a plane
Speaker 25: when I was twelve and a half years old. It
Speaker 25: was the Chipmunk. I was seeing in the front seat,
Speaker 25: the pilots in the back seat. And these planes were
Speaker 25: used as trainers for the guys during World War Two
Speaker 25: in Australia that were learning to fly spitfires. They are
Speaker 25: lots more than a spitfire. And I can still remember
Speaker 25: the day that this guy took me out and we
Speaker 25: walked through the hangar and as we walked around the corner,
Speaker 25: there were two spitch fires sitting there. He said, I
Speaker 25: said to him one of these, you guys, you and
Speaker 25: I both wish He said, that's it over there, and
Speaker 25: it's a bet, oh, probably a further size, but you
Speaker 25: can throw them around. And I actually he gave me
Speaker 25: the control of fifteen minutes. So I did a couple
Speaker 25: of two minute turns and flew straight and he said,
Speaker 25: plane's mine. You did give me a brief before we
Speaker 25: took off, so I knew what doll to look at
Speaker 25: and do these turns. And yeah, but now it's a
Speaker 25: lot of fun. But I ended up driving trucks for
Speaker 25: fully forty three years. Yeah, I got rid of the officer.
Speaker 25: I ain't at working outside of all the time. I
Speaker 25: drove for garden companies, freight companies for mainly driving highlife trucks,
Speaker 25: for posing a catering truck. But now it's good fun.
Speaker 25: The only reason I didn't go into flying and take
Speaker 25: it up seriously because in mathematics wasn't that good And
Speaker 25: I thought, well, math if you're not good at maths,
Speaker 25: forget to be a flying a flying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you don't want to be flying at one
Speaker 6: thousand feet and then drop fifteen hundred feet. Do you
Speaker 6: know you don't want to get that math wrong.
Speaker 25: Yeah, I get a couple of figures rowing. You're in
Speaker 25: all sorts exactly.
Speaker 6: At least you got to fly it as a twelve
Speaker 6: year old. That's pretty impressive.
Speaker 25: That's one mate where we did one turn in that
Speaker 25: chipmunk and I can always remember because I was sitting
Speaker 25: in the front umber see the wing behind me, and
Speaker 25: it was just vertually if you put your hand down,
Speaker 25: it was a versus spinning on the spot. So we're
Speaker 25: in about nine near grees.
Speaker 6: Wow, that is that is amazing. Good on your lend.
Speaker 6: Thanks for the call. Fascinating as always, Thank you for that.
Speaker 6: Thank you John, who is doctor John? Who's just texted
Speaker 6: what most physical wallets now have RFID shielding to prevent
Speaker 6: skimming or not? My wallet? I think I've had my
Speaker 6: wallet for about fifteen years. It's a bit ratty and yeah,
Speaker 6: but I didn't know that. But that's andy to know.
Speaker 6: If you've got a new wallet, that's good. He says.
Speaker 6: The downside is you've always got to take out your
Speaker 6: Mikey card to use it. Yeah, my security pass to
Speaker 6: get into this building is in my wallet and I
Speaker 6: don't take it out. I just hold my wallet up
Speaker 6: next to the wall and it lets me in. So yeah,
Speaker 6: so there's definitely no shielding online. Sean's in West Melbourne High.
Speaker 18: Sean Simon, Hey you going, yeah, good things.
Speaker 15: I'm my first song called to you, but a long
Speaker 15: time long listener through our w and that last you know.
Speaker 15: And we have quite similar stories. I remember my first
Speaker 15: airplane trip was when I was seven years old, flying
Speaker 15: from Melbourne to City then to Hong Kong and I
Speaker 15: was fortunate enough to be taken up to the cock
Speaker 15: pit and also my uncle took a picture of me
Speaker 15: underneath the landing gear in my Australian bushman's hat and
Speaker 15: bushy tail for my first overseas trip which was the
Speaker 15: Hong Kong And yeah, quite ironic, I'm actually in a
Speaker 15: hostel at the moment. Simon and I had a terrible
Speaker 15: accident three years ago. I was working in on Docklund
Speaker 15: Studios on the Sounding Now and also a dish shocking
Speaker 15: like yourself and I basically we had like sixteen trucks
Speaker 15: to bump in the show and that so we did
Speaker 15: bump in the show. Basically we're the loading bay there
Speaker 15: at Dockland Studios. Every done very meticulously and it's all
Speaker 15: coordinated well. And I was unfortunate it was raining that
Speaker 15: morning and all the other trucks by truck had ramps
Speaker 15: and the truck and I was already had to fork
Speaker 15: to devinthing off the truck and I fell off back
Speaker 15: in the truck was proximately one point Australers went on
Speaker 15: to concrete Spine and yeah, I've been in really bad
Speaker 15: pain ever since and I'm going in the hospital now.
Speaker 15: And I said, oh your operations so well here for
Speaker 15: the short term. I'll get get my operation in a
Speaker 15: couple of days and that's work.
Speaker 6: So this this operation will hopefully help with the with
Speaker 6: the injury and the ongoing pain.
Speaker 15: Well I'll be I'll be braduating to my friend. I've
Speaker 15: had to play basketball down at your local basketball arena.
Speaker 15: I started radio with SO the FM I think when
Speaker 15: I was got ten. I can't remember there the band,
Speaker 15: but it was on a corner of South Road in
Speaker 15: the Pen Highway.
Speaker 26: Just get all there nine.
Speaker 6: Points something I think southern.
Speaker 25: Isn't it?
Speaker 15: Three?
Speaker 18: I can't remember.
Speaker 15: I'm forty four years old down Simon.
Speaker 27: Yeah, yeah, quite.
Speaker 15: I had a really good difference between a disc jockey
Speaker 15: a DJ and an elite pro DJ of the last one.
Speaker 24: Oh you are.
Speaker 6: Okay, you're more qualified than me.
Speaker 15: No, I think you did quite a good job, sir.
Speaker 6: Oh that's very kind.
Speaker 15: Thank you, And I'll be bringing up lately having a
Speaker 15: bully up of a pall with Tony because who are
Speaker 15: not clear used to do night. It's nice to caught
Speaker 15: him up and was spared to speak about aviations and
Speaker 15: say probably in mine.
Speaker 6: Also, you're probably one of those ones who would drive
Speaker 6: by anchor and woody nuts.
Speaker 15: I love what if you're out there? Son? I love him, mate, Sean,
Speaker 15: you're a good bloke.
Speaker 25: Mate.
Speaker 15: You are the definition of a good Australia.
Speaker 16: I love you.
Speaker 6: For those listening through five Double A and six PERR,
Speaker 6: Sean's talking about when Tony Mocla used to host Australia
Speaker 6: Overnight for the three a W audience and.
Speaker 15: He does a great job with the after the job
Speaker 15: and he's doing he's doing.
Speaker 6: Very well there. But yes, I was just I was
Speaker 6: just explaining to those listening that Tony Mocla has an
Speaker 6: extraordinary recollection and knowledge of all things there a nautical
Speaker 6: and to the point where it drives people crazy. His
Speaker 6: incredible knowledge.
Speaker 27: I love it, Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 15: Knowledge is power. You might remember there was a song
Speaker 15: in the eighties foot the Bear, but It's ships to
Speaker 15: be a square and that. Yeah, it's definitely relevant in
Speaker 15: these days because I'm My drug of choice is learning
Speaker 15: and I've just with cigarettes, which I spoke as was
Speaker 15: a kid. And the the reason I started smoking, I
Speaker 15: went to Boma's campus of setting up secondary college and
Speaker 15: I wanted to hang out with the cool kids, so
Speaker 15: they said, here's try this, and I wanted to be cool,
Speaker 15: so I took a few drags and then all of
Speaker 15: a sudden.
Speaker 25: You're addictive.
Speaker 15: And funnily enough, I had really bad asks for growing up.
Speaker 15: And the reason before that this is unfortunately I lost
Speaker 15: my mother at the tender age of five months old.
Speaker 15: She was killed in a fire in Cheue in nineteen
Speaker 15: eighty two. On February two nine, wrote a movie about
Speaker 15: screen Time productions, and unfortunately the movie is called Underbelly.
Speaker 15: File was a maount that got away and I'm a
Speaker 15: baby in the movie, but there may be a girl,
Speaker 15: so you have to pay me. That's a different story altogether.
Speaker 15: I've left past all that and I moved on and
Speaker 15: I'm engaged with a beautiful woman and life's good. So
Speaker 15: I wanted to get this operation. Basically this is the
Speaker 15: worst one. It's ALF four. So basically what it does
Speaker 15: is I get sided to get.
Speaker 27: Down my right leg.
Speaker 15: So imagine when you're the ind the army right and
Speaker 15: you're left right left. For every third or fourth step,
Speaker 15: it's like, yeah, yeah, was all the way up the
Speaker 15: leg and my back the l five. It's just I
Speaker 15: would rather I don't want to be too blunt listened
Speaker 15: out there with Australia, but I served for my country
Speaker 15: in two thousand and three. Well no, that was four.
Speaker 15: I'd rather be stabbed in the stomach than this. Paanell
Speaker 15: I to help with a bit of pliers.
Speaker 6: Well, I tell you, yeah, sure, I've got to get
Speaker 6: to a break. We're well over due. But lovely to
Speaker 6: hear from you, lovely to chat to you, and I
Speaker 6: hope we get to do it again. And good luck
Speaker 6: with that operation. If you come out of that like
Speaker 6: a new man, that would just be magnificent after all
Speaker 6: this time, great to chat to you, as I say,
Speaker 6: I hope we can chat again, but I do have
Speaker 6: to get to a break back in a see twenty
Speaker 6: six after one in Melbourne, twenty six after eleven in
Speaker 6: Perth and in Adelaide it's four minutes to four minutes
Speaker 6: to one. Linda has texted a sortled in sorry simon,
Speaker 6: any chance of phone numbers for those of us who
Speaker 6: can't jump on the web, many of us who are
Speaker 6: mostly forgotten the missing girl. If we see her, we call. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I should redo that actually, so you call Triple O
Speaker 6: you if you find her. This is for Melbournian's this
Speaker 6: particular alert. Police have put out a report they're currently
Speaker 6: searching for an appealing for public assistance to help locate
Speaker 6: a missing girl named Ivy, eleven year old girl last
Speaker 6: scene in cran but North on the twenty ninth of May,
Speaker 6: which is yesterday Melbourne time, at about eight twenty in
Speaker 6: the morning. Ivy and police and Ivy's family have serious
Speaker 6: concerns for her welfare. She's only eleven and this disappearance
Speaker 6: is way out of character, and she doesn't have access
Speaker 6: to a mobile phone. She's of Asian appearance, one hundred
Speaker 6: and sixty centimeters tall, medium build, dark chest length hair,
Speaker 6: and light blue glasses. She was last seen wearing a
Speaker 6: Navy school uniform carrying a backpack. So I know I
Speaker 6: shouldn't hypothesize here, but it was Friday and eight twenty
Speaker 6: am was the last time she was seen so and
Speaker 6: in school uniform, so it sounds like she was heading
Speaker 6: off to school and never got there. So if anyone
Speaker 6: has seen Ivy, or if anyone's out and about at
Speaker 6: the moment, please if you're in the cram in North area,
Speaker 6: have a look around, just check everywhere. If you call
Speaker 6: out in the street, just call out to see if
Speaker 6: Ivy happens to be there, hiding in the dark, scared,
Speaker 6: not knowing where she is. It would be really good
Speaker 6: if we can find this missing girl. Call Triple zero
Speaker 6: if you if you do have any luck with sightings
Speaker 6: of Ivy. Thank you Lynn for the text. Sandra, He's
Speaker 6: in Ringwood.
Speaker 18: Hi, Sandra, morning son.
Speaker 28: How are you?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Good? Thank you?
Speaker 28: Would you hear your horse here?
Speaker 6: That's very kind, thank you and yours?
Speaker 28: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's that's not good news with it,
Speaker 28: but that girl.
Speaker 6: Very sad.
Speaker 28: M Yeah, so she what's the story She didn't make
Speaker 28: it to school or she was coming home.
Speaker 6: Well, they haven't said, but it does say she was
Speaker 6: last seeing wearing a Navy school uniform and carrying a
Speaker 6: backpack and she was scene at eight twenty am. So
Speaker 6: it sounds to me like she's left home to go
Speaker 6: to school. But I'm filling in blanks there that I
Speaker 6: honestly don't know. But it's yeah, because it's not it's
Speaker 6: not in the report. It doesn't say, But my guess
Speaker 6: is that eight twenty am in a school uniform, she
Speaker 6: was on her way to school and never turned up.
Speaker 6: So that's why re police and family are very worried
Speaker 6: for her safety.
Speaker 28: Yeah, well, I just hope she's okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 28: Yeah. So you had a good weekend I have.
Speaker 6: It was went out for dinner with the family last
Speaker 6: night because my son is now today now being in
Speaker 6: Melbourne and Adelaide time, it's now the thirtieth of May.
Speaker 6: It's my son's nineteenth birthday today, so we went out
Speaker 6: for family celebrations last night, which was which was lovely.
Speaker 28: Yeah, it's my friend in it's her sixty ninth birthday today.
Speaker 6: Which is a little older than my son.
Speaker 28: Yeah, well we've been for instance, we were in primary school.
Speaker 28: It's in Sydney, and yeah, so it's a long friendship.
Speaker 28: I mean she's turned sixty nine and in October I'm
Speaker 28: going to turn one year older than that.
Speaker 6: So so you're you're a Sydney girl originally Sandy. What
Speaker 6: caused Sandra to move from Sydney to Ringwood.
Speaker 28: Well, it was some difficulties with my with my nuclear
Speaker 28: family and you know, someone needing to get away from
Speaker 28: an abusive situation.
Speaker 6: So a bit of distance to.
Speaker 28: Melbourne when I was forty years old and I've been
Speaker 28: here since and it was the best move I ever made.
Speaker 28: A Couple of years before I moved, in ninety ninety six,
Speaker 28: my grandmother unfortunately passed away, but she left me half
Speaker 28: a house in Sydney and it was enough to put
Speaker 28: a quite a good deposit on the unit down here.
Speaker 28: And then a couple of years after I moved down here,
Speaker 28: I was retrained from my job. But the payment I
Speaker 28: got from that. I worked for Joshua for twenty nine
Speaker 28: years and the payment I got from that was enough
Speaker 28: to pay my unit off down here. So yeah, you know,
Speaker 28: I have not to worry about rent or anything like that.
Speaker 6: That's good. Well, I'm glad that worked out for you,
Speaker 6: because not everybody can escape troublesome situations. I'm glad that
Speaker 6: worked out for you.
Speaker 28: Yeah, but you know, I enjoyed my weekend and I
Speaker 28: enjoyed Wednesday night too, because like originally came from New
Speaker 28: South Wales. I'm a.
Speaker 6: Oh, you're a State of Oranges fan.
Speaker 29: Oh.
Speaker 28: Yes, I enjoyed seeing the boys points Land.
Speaker 17: It was great.
Speaker 6: You know, it's something that most people in the southern
Speaker 6: parts of the country just don't quite get. Is that
Speaker 6: passion for the state of origin.
Speaker 28: No, yes, well, I'm very passionate about it, you know,
Speaker 28: to the extent that I actually can't watch watch all
Speaker 28: of it, you know of it if I if I
Speaker 28: if it guests to the point where I know that
Speaker 28: New South Wales are going to win, then I'll that
Speaker 28: I'll switch it on and watch the end of it.
Speaker 28: But if it looks like the Queenslanders are going to win,
Speaker 28: then I'll switch it off. I say with my aofl
Speaker 28: to the Swans, but I'm not talking about them this
Speaker 28: year because they've They've gone really bad. After losing the
Speaker 28: Grand Final by sixty points last year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a disappointment, wasn't it. Oh yeah, there's
Speaker 6: nothing worse than a big margin in a grand final.
Speaker 6: It just makes the whole year pointless, no it does.
Speaker 28: I mean, you know, they were doing so well up
Speaker 28: to learn and I don't know, it was as if
Speaker 28: the switch went off in the Grand Final. They just
Speaker 28: and they weren't on the field, you know. And to
Speaker 28: lose tour queen playing team too, I mean that was
Speaker 28: that was a you know, the worst part, you know,
Speaker 28: you know, being in New South Wales person the originally
Speaker 28: you know.
Speaker 6: But anyway, alrighty well, lovely to chat.

Speaker 6: person in the picture is himself. No, no, okay.
Speaker 30: Brothers and sisters, for I have none. That that man's
Speaker 30: father is my father's son. Now, in the next two
Speaker 30: people that call in and reckon they've got it, I'll
Speaker 30: give it to you, but if they don't, I'll have
Speaker 30: to take some numbers off you.
Speaker 6: Sorry, so well, so I actually lose points. I would
Speaker 6: have taken more time to work through the math of it.
Speaker 6: Oh well, it is what it is, all right. So
Speaker 6: we're going to see if callers can gets the answer.
Speaker 6: How will we know if they're right, because only you
Speaker 6: know the answer.

Speaker 30: I will say bingo, right, okay.
Speaker 6: But but if I move on from you to the

Speaker 6: Yes, well, we don't. We don't know what the what
Speaker 6: the story is. We just know that she's she's gone missing.
Speaker 6: We don't know that there was foul play. Hope. Hopefully
Speaker 6: she just jumped on the wrong bus or something and
Speaker 6: got herself lost. Hopefully it's as innocent as that, and
Speaker 6: we get her back Maggie and has texted through that
Speaker 6: the answer is that he's looking at a picture of
Speaker 6: his own son. Is Maggie correct? Vern?
Speaker 25: Oh?
Speaker 6: Sorry, is Meggie correct? There? Bingo, Well done, Maggie, Maggie,
Speaker 6: congratulations to you. So I don't get points, though, do I?
Speaker 6: For Meggie getting it right?
Speaker 30: Yeah? Anyway, you're up on the lead the board at
Speaker 30: the moment, so you've got another five points.
Speaker 6: Okay, So I do get points even though I got
Speaker 6: it wrong and Meggie got it right on my behalf.
Speaker 30: Yeah exactly because if it was if an answer or
Speaker 30: a listener got it right within the two questions, he's
Speaker 30: got it right fair enough, Maggie. Yeah, welling ding.
Speaker 6: Ding, Well, thank you for that and there we go.
Speaker 6: So that's worked out well for me. I appreciate the
Speaker 6: call as always, Van, thank you. James is in Adelaide, Hi, James.
Speaker 32: Good morning, Simon, Simon. I I I just told the
Speaker 32: number right, the one one three, double three six no
Speaker 32: three right to get through it. It's not contact in
Speaker 32: my phone right today, it's got exact security comes up.
Speaker 6: It was exact security.
Speaker 32: Ye in couples, and then security in just one capital
Speaker 32: and before that I had daily ritual for about a
Speaker 32: year now I worked.
Speaker 6: That one out mate, even though you've never put the
Speaker 6: number in their phone is.
Speaker 32: A contact, yeah, never put it as a contact.
Speaker 12: Never.
Speaker 6: That is intriguing. I do know with my phone, if
Speaker 6: I get an email from somebody and they put their
Speaker 6: phone number in it and then they ring me, the
Speaker 6: phone will suggest this might be so and so, because
Speaker 6: because it reads your emails, which I'm not terribly happy with.
Speaker 6: But yeah, so it suggests names. But yeah, that's that's
Speaker 6: weird that it would suggest those.
Speaker 32: And I know several businesses even though you haven't got
Speaker 32: them in the contact, their contact number will come up
Speaker 32: and the business the name will come up.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think that's going to happen more and
Speaker 6: more where it doesn't actually matter what you've got in
Speaker 6: your contacts. They're they're going to be able to I
Speaker 6: think artificial intelligence creeping into all these operating systems on
Speaker 6: phones and things is going to well, it's getting better
Speaker 6: and better obviously, but at the moment artificial intelligence is clever,
Speaker 6: but it makes a hell of a lot of mistakes.
Speaker 16: Yep.
Speaker 32: Now what I really rang up for, Simon is a
Speaker 32: couple of birthdays. Now that I've have a singer, country

Speaker 32: Mate, birthday today and she passed away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she sadly passed away. Way to you.
Speaker 26: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 32: Song that must have been love the Look and Listen
Speaker 32: to Your Heart. Yeah, all very good song.
Speaker 6: Rock Sett did a tour and I went and saw
Speaker 6: the concert twice. I enjoyed it the first night and
Speaker 6: I actually I bought a ticket for the first night,
Speaker 6: and then the second night a friend had a ticket
Speaker 6: and their partner was sick, so they said, would you
Speaker 6: like to go and see the concert? And I said, well,
Speaker 6: I went last night, but I really enjoyed it, so
Speaker 6: I did. I went and saw it the second night
Speaker 6: in the row.
Speaker 32: That would have been good there and she she she
Speaker 32: suffered for seventeen years with cancer, so she passed away. Yeah,
Speaker 32: she had for seventeen years. Man, far Yeah, that's a
Speaker 32: long time.
Speaker 34: Isn't it.
Speaker 6: It's just that's cool, it's awful.
Speaker 26: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 32: And then the last black past is well, it's only
Speaker 32: because he's passed away. Michael Summer from Calling the Gang
Speaker 32: passed away on the twenty nine.
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, you remember Calling Calling the Gang.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well I do, but of a little probably
Speaker 6: just a smidge before my time for me to really
Speaker 6: know them, but certainly know of them. Yes, yes, I
Speaker 6: couldn't name yourself Aft the top of my head.
Speaker 32: They're probably most well known hit will probably be Celebration, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 32: and I love Cherish and female friend of mine she
Speaker 32: loves Joanna because that's her name.
Speaker 6: Obviously I thought Cherish was by the Association or is
Speaker 6: that a different song?
Speaker 32: I'm not followed the same, but yeah, I didn't have
Speaker 32: those Let's sing Cherish.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, but no celebration. Celebration is a
Speaker 6: great song. I love that, but I also I love
Speaker 6: Dragon's version of that too.
Speaker 32: Yeah they're good, mate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go, some interesting stats as always, not
Speaker 6: a problem, mate. Thanks for that, beautiful. I appreciate the call.
Speaker 6: Thanks Greg, take care of cheers. Was that Greg or James? Sorry,
Speaker 6: I'm just that was that was James, wasn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Greg's up after the break. Sorry. If I actually just
Speaker 6: read what you had on the screen, Jackson, would I
Speaker 6: would have been right. I just threw myself for some reason.
Speaker 6: Thank you, James, very kind. All right, we do need
Speaker 6: to get a break out of the way though, and
Speaker 6: back with you, Greg, Jim and Mark. The playback music
Speaker 6: that I've just heard in my years. I'm not sure
Speaker 6: if it's the same around the network, because we may
Speaker 6: all have different throwback music logged, but the one I
Speaker 6: just heard in my headphones was Jimmy Barnes song. I'm
Speaker 6: trying to think what the name of the song was,
Speaker 6: Let's make It Last all Night or something. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: great song. And that reminds me of the newspapers this morning.
Speaker 6: The news limited papers are all carrying the story. Jimmy
Speaker 6: Barnes has apparently written a book and he's based on
Speaker 6: something that happened in real life where his sister was
Speaker 6: possessed and ran around. She played with Ouiji board and
Speaker 6: ran around, smacked herself into a wall. So that'll be
Speaker 6: a very interesting read in the papers today. I haven't
Speaker 6: had a look at the article yet. I'll do that
Speaker 6: when I get tired. Jimmy Barnes talking about his sister
Speaker 6: being possessed. We won't do calls have you ever been possessed?
Speaker 6: I don't know if we'd get that many, and it
Speaker 6: might be a little scary this time of the morning,
Speaker 6: so keep the calls coming on anything else. Greg's in Cheltenham?
Speaker 6: Did I Greg?
Speaker 16: Hi, Simon?
Speaker 18: How you doing?
Speaker 31: Oh good?
Speaker 16: Yeah? Enjoying the show? Oh program?
Speaker 6: Thank you?
Speaker 16: What do you call it a program or a show?
Speaker 6: Or well, technically, i'd say it's a program because a
Speaker 6: show to me indicates that it's got to be seen.
Speaker 16: Now it's a program. Well, I'm joining the program.
Speaker 6: Thank you. You can. You can watch the program online.
Speaker 6: But it's not really a visual medium radio. So yeah,
Speaker 6: so i'd call it a program, but it could be
Speaker 6: also a show.
Speaker 16: Well, very good, very good. I'm an intentive listener. Been
Speaker 16: listening for you, isn't it? With Tony Moclair and all that.
Speaker 16: I want to get back. I'm going to get back
Speaker 16: to aircraft and all the airplane buffs. Yeah. Well, you
Speaker 16: know that some pilots can fly on instruments. Yeah, they
Speaker 16: don't really need to see out the window or anything.
Speaker 16: They just look at the instruments that are on cross
Speaker 16: the dash of the backup systems in the cockpit. Well,
Speaker 16: when they get their license to fly on instruments, they're
Speaker 16: strapped in the seat with a really well qualified instructor
Speaker 16: and the guy who's going for his license on instrument,
Speaker 16: and the instructor takes him up to about four thousand
Speaker 16: feet and then he inverts the aircraft. Yeah, he's upside
Speaker 16: and then he hands it over as a guy going
Speaker 16: for his license and he says, bring it in.
Speaker 6: Wow, And do they actually obscure the you know, do
Speaker 6: they put like sunshades up on the windscreen so they
Speaker 6: can so.
Speaker 16: I know there's no sancho. It's at night, it's nice night.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, I would absolutely soil myself if that was
Speaker 6: me in the seat.
Speaker 16: Well, they do they bring them back in?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well we hope, yeah, well they do.
Speaker 16: They do, and they get their license. And that's why
Speaker 16: it's so very nice to know that those boys up
Speaker 16: front know what they're doing, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, Nathan Kosher of course does the weekly spot
Speaker 6: her Pets and jets. He speaks about things like that,
Speaker 6: and yeah, it's amazing, just the incredible amount of knowledge
Speaker 6: you need to be a professional pilot. It's you know,
Speaker 6: there isn't a question I've ever asked that he hasn't
Speaker 6: been able to give me a very thorough answer to.
Speaker 16: Right. Yeah, well, yeah, well, well I live very close
Speaker 16: to Maraban Airport and I just love seeing them go
Speaker 16: over and the helicopters and all the shoots, the twin
Speaker 16: engines and the single engines and the little Cestna one
Speaker 16: eighties when they take off, when there's a lot of
Speaker 16: wind going they sort of peg cake up over the
Speaker 16: air to get up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey hey Greg, Now I've got to break in
Speaker 6: thirty seconds. But can I ask you I was once
Speaker 6: told that Merabin Airport is the busiest airport in the
Speaker 6: Southern Hemisphere. Is that true?
Speaker 31: Yes?
Speaker 6: Yes, what a fascinating stat the number of planes that
Speaker 6: must take off on land from there all you know,
Speaker 6: every day.
Speaker 33: Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 16: And traffic controlled very important.
Speaker 6: No, absolutely, there's now there's a high stress job that's
Speaker 6: traffic control at an airport. Oh god, I could never
Speaker 6: do it. I just couldn't do it. Greg, thank you
Speaker 6: for that. We've got to get our last breakaway before
Speaker 6: news radio. It's coming up to tomorrow in Perth, so
Speaker 6: it'll be good to have you on board. It's going
Speaker 6: to be one point thirty in Adelaide and in Melbourne
Speaker 6: two o'clock. We're here for another three and a half hours.
Speaker 6: Jackson and I are taking your calls this morning. Keep
Speaker 6: them coming one double three six nine three one double
Speaker 6: three eight eighty two and shoot us a text. Why
Speaker 6: the hell not zero four double seven six nine three
Speaker 6: six nine three.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Australia Overnight with Simon Owens.
Speaker 6: Welcome back our number three of Australia. Overnight. Tony McManus
Speaker 6: just off for yesterday and today is feeling just a
Speaker 6: touch under the weather. He's put in a sterling performance.
Speaker 6: He hasn't chucked a SICKI in all this time. Last
Speaker 6: time I filled in for him was on January the fifteenth,
Speaker 6: So the Tower of Strength is just taking a day
Speaker 6: or two off to rebuild and he'll be back bigger
Speaker 6: and better than ever on Monday. You've got myself and
Speaker 6: Jackson here this morning taking your calls one double three
Speaker 6: six nine three or one double three eighty two. Anything
Speaker 6: you want to chat about You more than welcome. A
Speaker 6: couple of things we've got sort of underway. Well I
Speaker 6: haven't even really thrown them out as topics, but callers
Speaker 6: have raised a couple of interesting things. When did you
Speaker 6: get your first mobile phone? Currently, Kats and Barnas and
Speaker 6: I were talking about that. We touched on it briefly
Speaker 6: in the first hour, and Michael has texted through got
Speaker 6: his first mobile nineteen ninety thirty five years he's had
Speaker 6: his mobile phone. I got mine. I can actually pinpoint
Speaker 6: the date, Jackson, When did you get your first mobile
Speaker 6: do you know.
Speaker 7: I reckon around twenty ten or so.
Speaker 6: And how young were you, because you're.
Speaker 7: About eleven or twelve, I reckon I was eleven or twelve.
Speaker 6: In a mobile phone. Yeah, so I was twenty four
Speaker 6: when I got mine, right, because they just sort of
Speaker 6: weren't really a thing. They were around, but only for
Speaker 6: sort of rich people and professional.
Speaker 7: I were quite expensive when they first come out.
Speaker 6: They were yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But I got mine on the fourteenth of September nineteen
Speaker 6: ninety six. And the reason I can actually nominate the
Speaker 6: date is because my wife was pregnant with our first daughter,
Speaker 6: Shannon at the time, and I was working nights, and
Speaker 6: I was worried that I would get in the car
Speaker 6: to come to work and start driving into work, and
Speaker 6: then my wife might go into labor. But then I'd
Speaker 6: drive an hour to get into work, only to arrive
Speaker 6: to hear that there's a message for me that my
Speaker 6: wife had gone into labor, have to turn around and
Speaker 6: drive all the way home again. So I thought, you know,
Speaker 6: I'm going to get a mobile phone so that she
Speaker 6: can bring me anytime immediately. So I went out that
Speaker 6: morning and bought the mobile phone, and that afternoon my
Speaker 6: wife went into labor and that night Shannon was born.
Speaker 6: So I got my first mobile phone on the day
Speaker 6: our daughter was born, which is why I can pinpoint
Speaker 6: the date exactly. But it was an one five number.
Speaker 6: I think Telecom mobile net as it was back then.
Speaker 6: John Blackman used to advertise them. They had one to
Speaker 6: eight was the first lot of mobiles back in the
Speaker 6: analog days, and then they moved on to one five
Speaker 6: when they run out of one eight numbers. And so
Speaker 6: mine was an O one five number. I can't remember
Speaker 6: from I can't remember now what that number was, and
Speaker 6: I've changed numbers, I think three times, but I've had
Speaker 6: this number probably for probably for twenty something years, about
Speaker 6: twenty two to twenty three years. I've had the same
Speaker 6: number now. But there you go. So twelve eleven or twelve, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I guess that's when we got.
Speaker 7: I knew people who were getting of it. Maybe eight. Yeah.
Speaker 6: At school, Yeah, so mum could ring you, Mum could
Speaker 6: ring you and say I'm running late for.
Speaker 7: School, strictly for talking to your parents. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And they did have for while. They probably still
Speaker 6: have them, but like kids safe mobiles where the kids
Speaker 6: can't make calls except for their pre programmed numbers. So
Speaker 6: you've got mum's number, dad's number, you know, the doctor's
Speaker 6: number or the police are all sort of locked into
Speaker 6: the phone.
Speaker 35: Yes, I remember when sort of iPhones were starting, some
Speaker 35: parents would make it an effort to make sure they
Speaker 35: got the kids. You know, the Nokier thirty three ten. Yeah,
Speaker 35: those sort of old brick phones. Yeah, they couldn't play
Speaker 35: too many games or anything like that.
Speaker 6: No, exactly, Now there you go. So when did you
Speaker 6: get your first mobile? And do you remember what model
Speaker 6: it was and all that sort of thing? One double
Speaker 6: three six no three or one double three eight eighty two?
Speaker 6: What did you want to do for a living? A
Speaker 6: caller mentioned that earlier, saying that it came up as
Speaker 6: a topic, And so I scribbled that down and thought,
Speaker 6: that's actually not a bad question to ask. What did
Speaker 6: you want to do for a living? And did you
Speaker 6: end up doing it? Same numbers? One double three eight
Speaker 6: eighty two or one double three six nine three. So
Speaker 6: proud of the Bombers tonighttastic effort by an underman's side.
Speaker 6: Go Bombers, says Mark of Scoresby and says, so nice
Speaker 6: to hear time calls. I do love doing a time call.
Speaker 6: Thank you for that, And Lily says Vern's quiz is great,
Speaker 6: so thank you. Art says Simon, you need to suck
Speaker 6: on a fisherman's friend. I had a cough for like
Speaker 6: six months and I couldn't shift it. Finally went to
Speaker 6: the doctor and ended up on antibiotics and I got
Speaker 6: rid of that cough about three or four weeks ago.
Speaker 6: And then a week or so ago I got just
Speaker 6: the tiniest little head cold. Now I've got the cough again,
Speaker 6: so annoying. All right, let's get back to your calls.
Speaker 6: Mark's in Hampton East.
Speaker 17: Get I Mark, Good morning there.
Speaker 36: How are you going today?
Speaker 32: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Good, thanks, that's good turning.
Speaker 12: Mobile phone.
Speaker 36: When I first got my mobile phone, and also when
Speaker 36: I had a goal to start a job, I thought that,
Speaker 36: you know, my first mobile phone was a Nohier.
Speaker 6: It was a Nockier. Was it the thirty three to ten?
Speaker 18: There?
Speaker 36: In fact, I believe it was the thirty three ten
Speaker 36: that the little square on the little baby phone?
Speaker 23: It was so small.
Speaker 36: It was so cool to have the small phone.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, now was the thirty three ten? I think
Speaker 6: was a slightly larger one, But yeah, I had I
Speaker 6: had a really I had a really small Nokia one
Speaker 6: for a while. I can't remember the model number. It
Speaker 6: was like the fifties something, fifty three something. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 6: they were great little phones, those nonckiers.
Speaker 36: It was understanding, a little part of the little little
Speaker 36: phone club there.
Speaker 31: I had it also.
Speaker 36: Murder Roller Phone two, which was a pretty good phone
Speaker 36: there too. And I used to work with Hanry Jack's
Speaker 36: in Oakley, and I used to think I was the
Speaker 36: coolest guy in the planet Understanding league. We were going
Speaker 36: down there to see what was the greatest phone. At nighttime.
Speaker 36: My friends and I would go down and compare our
Speaker 36: mobile phones after work. Yeah, we used to think we
Speaker 36: were the coolest guys on the plane. And we used
Speaker 36: to take out mobile phones down to the city and
Speaker 36: get food at night time and go driving around the place.
Speaker 36: We understood that one thing that when you go for
Speaker 36: a drive at night time, you take your mobile phones.
Speaker 36: Always use the mobile phones and you're not driving, oh.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, yes, yes, or at least have them bluetoothed to
Speaker 6: your car stereo and use your voice commands, you know,
Speaker 6: tell your phone who you want to ring and stuff
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 36: Then everybody is going out today to have a drink.
Speaker 36: I believe in the city, and I just wanted to
Speaker 36: wish everybody else happy day today.
Speaker 6: Who's going out for a drink in the city.
Speaker 36: The people that working at the place in the mobile
Speaker 36: phone place in the city there.
Speaker 6: Oh okay.
Speaker 36: I heard them on the other radio yesterday and they
Speaker 36: were saying they're going for a drink. And I'm not
Speaker 36: saying it's alcohol or anything like that, or water. I'm
Speaker 36: not too sure, but I do wish them a happy day.
Speaker 36: And anybody that wants to come over to my place
Speaker 36: out of my friends, I want to wish them a
Speaker 36: happy day too.
Speaker 6: No, well, that's lovely, Get on your mark taste by
Speaker 6: thanks mate, cheers, Mark's away happy. Such a lovely call.
Speaker 6: Jim's in Westwoods. Great good a Jim.
Speaker 27: Good morning, Simon and Jackson. Just a few very quick
Speaker 27: things for now, and I might call you Lado, but
Speaker 27: I don't fall asleep. First of all, if Tony's listening again,
Speaker 27: all the best to Tony and good morning to him.
Speaker 27: Second of all, Happy birthday for your son today. You
Speaker 27: said it was his birthday today.
Speaker 6: Yeah, nineteen today.
Speaker 27: So happy nineteenth.
Speaker 31: What's his name? I forgot Ethan Ethan.
Speaker 27: That's right. Also with Nathan Kosh if he's listening, good
Speaker 27: morning to him. And I heard him so many times
Speaker 27: that it was you that came up with the name
Speaker 27: pets and Jets for his slogan or whatever you.
Speaker 31: Want to call it.
Speaker 6: That is true. That's what I'll be remembered for coming
Speaker 6: up with the title of the segment for Nathan Golosh
Speaker 6: Pets and Jets.
Speaker 27: No, but you've thought of many other things. You're you're
Speaker 27: great at putting those music montages together, which I love,
Speaker 27: and many other things. And the historian of Threa w
Speaker 27: and everything. You good of many things, Simon. I have
Speaker 27: been listening for years, as you know. And what else
Speaker 27: I wanted to say? One more thing than now I've forgotten. Okay, Simon,
Speaker 27: if I'm away clad I'll call you and Jackson later.
Speaker 6: No worries, Yeah, because now now I want to know
Speaker 6: if there was something else but you've forgotten. I hate
Speaker 6: it when that happens. It might have been the most
Speaker 6: important thing.
Speaker 18: Might have been. But I have once.
Speaker 27: I used to have what people call an elephant memory.
Speaker 27: These days, because of sleep disorders, I have a lot
Speaker 27: of memory lapses a lot these days. But I struggled
Speaker 27: to remember things. But years ago everyone used to tell
Speaker 27: me I had an elephant memory because I used to
Speaker 27: remember everything.
Speaker 6: Not so now I forget stuff all the time. Maybe
Speaker 6: I wonder if it is related to sleep, because I
Speaker 6: don't think I sleep as well as I used to.
Speaker 6: I wake up a couple of times during the night now,
Speaker 6: and I used to sleep. I used to be able
Speaker 6: to sleep until nine o'clock in the morning without a worry.
Speaker 6: Now I always wake up at like seven seven point
Speaker 6: thirty or son. It distresses me to wake up that early.
Speaker 27: I've heard you say that, Simon, But it's not onlie
Speaker 27: me or you, it's anybody. If you don't if you
Speaker 27: don't sleep properly, you will have a memory lapses. That
Speaker 27: always affects your memory or your concentration if you don't
Speaker 27: get enough sleep, like you.
Speaker 18: You'll know that anyway and people.
Speaker 27: But there's another thing I wanted to mention that people
Speaker 27: will probably laugh at me. You know a lot of
Speaker 27: car accidents they go, they go, I mean not unnoticed
Speaker 27: that there's a lot of car accidents and they can't
Speaker 27: solve how they happen. I think in winter, I think
Speaker 27: in winter with people putting their heaters on, sometimes crashing
Speaker 27: into trees. I believe car heaters are putting people to
Speaker 27: sleep with some of those unsolved car accidents in winter
Speaker 27: that they don't solve solved because I remember my friend
Speaker 27: used to put the heater on when I used to
Speaker 27: go fishing, and they used to knock me out all
Speaker 27: the time. I believe some people leave the heater on
Speaker 27: too long and it puts them to sleep.
Speaker 6: If it's a cold Dane, you've got the warm heater
Speaker 6: on in the car can make you a bit drowsy.
Speaker 27: I think I believe a lot of unsolved car accidents
Speaker 27: have happened like like that about people falling to sleep
Speaker 27: that have crashed into trees, and yeah.
Speaker 6: It's quite possible. I would think in some cases they
Speaker 6: would be able to forensically prove that that happened. Because
Speaker 6: if you drift off and the car just veers off
Speaker 6: the road and you slam into a tree and die,
Speaker 6: your body reacts differently than if it had if you
Speaker 6: were conscious and gripping the steering wheel in a panic,
Speaker 6: so your body different, bones grew someome thing to talk about.
Speaker 6: But if you're asleep when the impact happens, your body
Speaker 6: reacts differently than if it was rigid and solid in panicky.
Speaker 6: So yeah, so the forensics are pretty good around that
Speaker 6: sort of stuff, but you're possibly right there would be
Speaker 6: somewhere that might be the case.
Speaker 27: Yeah, that's right. You now a lot of things like
Speaker 27: that too, because your probably your father would have told
Speaker 27: you about seeing things like that and forensics too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, my dad, being a former police officer, had his
Speaker 6: fair share of dawn, of being on scene at crimes,
Speaker 6: at accident scenes where there were deceased people, and did
Speaker 6: his fair share of the door knocks, the having to
Speaker 6: knock on a family's door and say your kid's never
Speaker 6: coming home or your husband or your wife terribly, what
Speaker 6: a terrible thing to have to do.
Speaker 27: Will be on the show next week, Simon, what was that?
Speaker 6: Sorry?
Speaker 27: Rod disable and who Tony has a guest quite often.
Speaker 27: He was a former policeman for forty years and he
Speaker 27: have my ship to be a shift to work.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, he was supposed to be on yesterday morning,
Speaker 6: but with Tony not being here, we didn't proceed with
Speaker 6: the segment because it's one of you. It's Tony's segment
Speaker 6: with Roger, so he'll he'll probably be back with him
Speaker 6: next week.
Speaker 27: Okay, thank you, Simon, thank you.
Speaker 6: Good on a gym, no worries, have a good one.
Speaker 6: We'll knock off a break here. Mary, Arthur and Sean
Speaker 6: with you all very soon. And there's room on the
Speaker 6: board for more. One double three six nine three or
Speaker 6: one double three eight eighty two. When did you get
Speaker 6: your first mobile? What did you want to do for?
Speaker 6: Excuse me? Well, I cough again. All right, back in
Speaker 6: a minute. Twenty three after two in Melbourne, twenty three
Speaker 6: after midnight in Perth, and in Adelaide, it's seven minutes
Speaker 6: to two. Mary's in Springvale?
Speaker 18: Home, Mary, how are you this morning?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm good, Thank you.
Speaker 37: Oh well, I've just walken up when I've just listened
Speaker 37: into your thing about what you want to be and
Speaker 37: what you're turned out being. Yeah, well, I always wanted
Speaker 37: to be a school teacher and I ended up being
Speaker 37: a trained nurse. And talking about phones, I had the
Speaker 37: most incredible nock here, and I think Nokia's are one
Speaker 37: of the best phones. I've now got an Apple iPhones,
Speaker 37: but I've got to knock here hidden away somewhere because
Speaker 37: it's got so many of my old photos from my
Speaker 37: travels but I do need to get them sorted and
Speaker 37: get some of the photos off.
Speaker 6: Yes, that is always a problem with upgrading your phone
Speaker 6: if you haven't been backing them up to anywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you've got to make sure you lift them because so
Speaker 6: much of your life is photos taken now on your phone.
Speaker 37: What's amazing, isn't it. It's greatest. You've got the phone
Speaker 37: to take photos and the only puld of is off
Speaker 37: and they're not in your hands when you leave them.
Speaker 6: Well, I've got I've got my phone set up that
Speaker 6: so I've got a there's a thing called drop Box,
Speaker 6: which is one of those cloud things, cloud based things
Speaker 6: where it's stores stuff, and I've got my phone set
Speaker 6: up so that every time i take a photo it
Speaker 6: also backs up to my drop Box account. So if
Speaker 6: I drop my phone in a bucket of water, I'm
Speaker 6: not going to lose anything.
Speaker 37: Oh that's a good idea, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's very handy.
Speaker 37: I think it's amazing how many focus I think I've
Speaker 37: got two odd thousand photos on the phone anyway.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then there's cataloging them actually going through something
Speaker 6: we never had in the days of film was the problem.
Speaker 6: We've got now where if I go to take a
Speaker 6: photo of someone, if I get a group of people
Speaker 6: together and say right, i'll take a photo, I'll take
Speaker 6: a photos and then you've got to go through and
Speaker 6: find the best one to keep. And we never had
Speaker 6: to do that with a film camera. You just take
Speaker 6: the risk and if someone was blinking, bad luck. That
Speaker 6: was just the way it was.
Speaker 33: I know.
Speaker 37: Often you used to take some these photos to take
Speaker 37: the group photos. You never knew how they turned out,
Speaker 37: and often leave their head off, or you leave somebody else. No,
Speaker 37: it's pretty amazing now because you can always take three
Speaker 37: photos and pick the best one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, yes, Yeah.
Speaker 37: It's amazing. Technology has come so far, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Imagine explaining explaining to kids how photos used to happen,
Speaker 6: that you couldn't see what the photo was that you
Speaker 6: actually took, until you'd have to finish a role of
Speaker 6: film and then take it to a chemist or to
Speaker 6: kmart or wherever, then drop it off there and then
Speaker 6: pay someone to print them out, print out the photos
Speaker 6: on bits of paper for you, and you go back
Speaker 6: and pick them up the next day.
Speaker 37: That was exactly some old and my granddaughter took some
Speaker 37: of them, to somebody to try to get them developed,
Speaker 37: and they're so old you don't get them developed anymore.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard to find the places that do old
Speaker 6: film developing now.
Speaker 37: Yeah, yeahl in my eighties now, some of them were
Speaker 37: really really old.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I still remember the first digital photo I took.
Speaker 6: I bought a secondhand digital camera because they were so expensive,
Speaker 6: and it had a little memory card in it, and
Speaker 6: I think you could take about twenty photos and then
Speaker 6: you had to empty the memory card into your computer.
Speaker 6: And I remember getting that, getting that camera that day,
Speaker 6: putting batteries in it on and the batteries went flatten
Speaker 6: a heartbeat. But I remember taking a photo of my
Speaker 6: daughter Rachel, who was about two, sitting at a desk,
Speaker 6: and I took the photo of it. Then I ran
Speaker 6: over to the computer and plugged it in, and I
Speaker 6: was stunned at just how you instantly I could take
Speaker 6: a photo and then I could have it there on
Speaker 6: my computer. It was amazing.
Speaker 37: It was really exciting, wasn't it. It was so in
Speaker 37: the last twenty odd years to Simon, Yeah, everything is
Speaker 37: just so easy. And look, you've got a great program.
Speaker 37: I'm often still asleep at this time and I haven't
Speaker 37: caught up these pages, but I'm a regular three a
Speaker 37: W listener and you always said great, well.
Speaker 6: You're very kind. That's that's lovely of you. Mary, thank
Speaker 6: you for that. We'll have a good morning, no take care. Cheers.
Speaker 6: Arthur's in with what's Greg did I? Arthur?
Speaker 14: Good morning, Simon and Action Jackson. All the best to
Speaker 14: Tainey Mac to get better. All the best to your
Speaker 14: son Ethan for his birthday was nineteen lovely anyway with
Speaker 14: mobile phones, my first is probably mid ninety three because
Speaker 14: I was djaying and so on. It was a brick.
Speaker 31: I still have it.
Speaker 14: I still remember the number I won five was here
Speaker 14: on one five three, five six seven three zero. I
Speaker 14: to remember it and I kept it. I bought it
Speaker 14: off Crazy John, which unfortunately passed away. Also taekwon day instruck.
Speaker 14: Unfortunately he had a heart attack. You remember own't Crazy
Speaker 14: John's store in Soelth, Melbourne. I knew him very well
Speaker 14: John Yeah Yeah, and he had a store in Celth,
Speaker 14: Melbourne as well as well as Brunswick. He always looked
Speaker 14: after me. Some of them I bought were the ericson
Speaker 14: as well and several other Nockiers and the Yeah somewhere
Speaker 14: only a duller. They provided you go on a contract.
Speaker 14: He had all sorts of contracts and I've got a
Speaker 14: bag war from for sivinies. Originally I didn't want to
Speaker 14: step in the security industry. That happened accidentally with a
Speaker 14: Chief Inspective Police's son details training. I wanted to become
Speaker 14: a technician and electronics and a bit of an electronics wizard,
Speaker 14: but I couldn't get in because the schools were booked out.
Speaker 14: Simon still yeah, but I still got pretty good basic
Speaker 14: electrical knowledge. I can make a breakload, which I did
Speaker 14: at only thirteen to fourteen years old on a pushbike.
Speaker 31: The hearder.
Speaker 14: You press it arse and it brightens up. And I
Speaker 14: tripped people out by doing a source of experiments like
Speaker 14: I switched the turn on the radio. Yeah, you put
Speaker 14: the brake on and they'll touch the frame. And I
Speaker 14: made a break lay on the drags the pushbike.
Speaker 31: Believe it or not?
Speaker 6: Ye, how cool is that?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I would love to. I've got a maid named Aaron
Speaker 6: who who repairs old radios and things. And I look
Speaker 6: at the inside. I look at the guts inside electronic
Speaker 6: devices and things, and wouldn't know where to start, and
Speaker 6: to him, it's all logical and makes perfect sense. And
Speaker 6: I've always been very jealous of that. I would love
Speaker 6: to restore old radios. That'd be a great hobby for me.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I was really interesting, man. I used to pull
Speaker 14: out the circuit board and I was learning from a
Speaker 14: friend that actually got in. He taught me quite a
Speaker 14: bit the resistance a capacitor, the diode, and I was
Speaker 14: always fascinated by it. But I'd really like to learn
Speaker 14: that as well. You know, I've collected antique radio. Some
Speaker 14: I get going, some I don't, but I've just got
Speaker 14: them from memories the way it was in the past,
Speaker 14: as you know. So I put him in the old
Speaker 14: vintage room. Eventually I'm hoping to get a real to reel.
Speaker 14: I'll have to ask Rick about that again.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they come up occasionally on on eBay. You'll find
Speaker 6: them for sure. Absolutely.
Speaker 14: I remember your shaving one there. I was tripped out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've got I've got one at home, and I've
Speaker 6: got one here at work too that I use.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it was incredible to see that. We used to
Speaker 14: have one, but my auntie took it back off of
Speaker 14: unfortunately played really well. Was the one, but hopelly, I'll
Speaker 14: ring Rick and see if he can help me one of.
Speaker 6: Them fair enough to Yeah, cool, all right.
Speaker 14: Well, thanks Simon, Thanks.
Speaker 6: Good on you, Arthur. Always a pleasure. Thank you mate.
Speaker 6: Sean's in Tazzida Sean.
Speaker 12: The evening, Simon. Yeah, I wanted to mention too things
Speaker 12: about phone, something about our listener said earlier on on
Speaker 12: the phone. And my first phone was some cheap a brand,
Speaker 12: but it had all the bells and whistles and doudeads.
Speaker 12: I don't know what brand. It was some Chinese thing,
Speaker 12: and it didn't laugh very long. And then I got
Speaker 12: an erics in one of those little erics, and I
Speaker 12: got it to ring up the radio station when I
Speaker 12: was at work. When I was doing I was going
Speaker 12: all over Sydney. I was an offside to an electrician
Speaker 12: and plumber that fixed glash washers and dishwashers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and so you bought it so you could ring
Speaker 6: into the radio station.
Speaker 24: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I was listening to the radio while I was riding
Speaker 12: around from place to place in the van, and i'd
Speaker 12: ring them while I was in the van and talk
Speaker 12: to them and talk to the triple end while I
Speaker 12: was in the van. When I was going from different
Speaker 12: workplace to workplace.
Speaker 6: Yeah, cool, that's that's that actually changed back radio the
Speaker 6: mobile phones. It's it's been a great addition for us
Speaker 6: in terms of what we can do with the radio
Speaker 6: stations crossing to people live on scene rather than having
Speaker 6: to because journos used to go out and cover a
Speaker 6: story and then have to find a phone booth or
Speaker 6: borrow someone's home line to actually ring in and file
Speaker 6: reports and stuff. So it's made a big difference.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I reported on the big day out and all
Speaker 12: sorts of things so that the Triple Am I quite
Speaker 12: a few things for them. I was back in about
Speaker 12: two thousand. Yeah, they put me on air a lot.
Speaker 12: I had fun. And the other thing was a listener
Speaker 12: said he put the phone number to ring in another
Speaker 12: phone that the number wasn't stored in, and it came
Speaker 12: up as daily ritual. I was wondering, do you do
Speaker 12: you daily rituals there, because the same thing happened to me.
Speaker 12: I'm ringing you on my brother's phone because I can't
Speaker 12: ring you on my and it come up as daily
Speaker 12: ritual when I put the number in a ring.
Speaker 6: Now okay, yeah, well I have no idea what that
Speaker 6: would be I don't know what. I've never heard daily
Speaker 6: ritual used in relation to talk radio at all, or
Speaker 6: particularly to this this station or this network.
Speaker 12: So maybe the station is subliminally trying to override everyone's
Speaker 12: mind and put that into pons their daily ritual during
Speaker 12: three aw that's what's going on.
Speaker 6: I would love to say that that's the case, but
Speaker 6: sadly we're not that clever. We're just not that clever.
Speaker 6: We'd hope that it happens, but we would, you know,
Speaker 6: for us to actually go to that sort of effort. Nah,
Speaker 6: it couldn't happen. We just don't have We don't have
Speaker 6: the brains to get all that sort of stuff happening.
Speaker 6: Like there's subliminal advertising, you know, buy a hot dog,
Speaker 6: buy a hot dog. Yeah, we just don't have We
Speaker 6: just don't have all that. That's funny though, that's a
Speaker 6: funny concept. All right, good to chat to you, Sean.
Speaker 6: I better keep moving.
Speaker 12: Oh thanks, so a good night.
Speaker 6: No take ms. Maggie, David and Karen with you all.
Speaker 6: Very shortly. I found that article on Jimmy Barnes talking
Speaker 6: about his sister as well. I'll read that out in
Speaker 6: the next hour if I can. As well, but to
Speaker 6: keep the calls coming one double three eight eighty two
Speaker 6: or one double three six nine three. Maggie is in Adelaide.
Speaker 6: Morning Maggie, and good morning to Simon.
Speaker 38: Now I have to start off with coughing. Yes, look
Speaker 38: I have quite a month now had a lot of
Speaker 38: coughing ding on, and in recent times I've noticed that
Speaker 38: it's also Yeah, it's happening to perhaps even medical practitioners,
Speaker 38: to whom might be speaking with the consult on the
Speaker 38: phone or you people and the likes of view on
Speaker 38: their you know, there's just so much coughing on not
Speaker 38: I wonder what that is all about?
Speaker 31: Is that to do?
Speaker 38: Do you think with the weather that we've had experience.
Speaker 6: I think it could be. You know, the changes in
Speaker 6: weather always bring about illnesses. I reckon when you when
Speaker 6: you go from being hot all the time to suddenly
Speaker 6: being cold, I think, you know, the body maybe perhaps
Speaker 6: just a lowers its guard, a bitten and something sneaks in.
Speaker 6: So it could be the case.
Speaker 38: Look at it's more and then they'll not not just
Speaker 38: ton illness.
Speaker 29: I don't think it sit near cop.
Speaker 38: As far as I can see that far. Anyway, I'll
Speaker 38: leave that one out there also. Now, would you prefer
Speaker 38: me to talk about the old days of driving down
Speaker 38: the freeway.
Speaker 6: Or my.
Speaker 38: In Adelaide from handoff to Adelaide where vehicles had no control.
Speaker 16: On the road.
Speaker 29: Or phones?
Speaker 38: Not here but two in my case not here's currently
Speaker 38: the same sun.
Speaker 24: Which one shall I go first?
Speaker 30: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go with the driving. I think you are.
Speaker 25: Okay.
Speaker 19: Now, I don't know how for me you are.
Speaker 12: You are with.
Speaker 19: Adelaide.
Speaker 6: I've never had the pleasure of being of going to Adelaide.
Speaker 6: It is on my bucket list. I'm not one for
Speaker 6: traveling much, but I've said several times whilst doing this
Speaker 6: the occasional feelings I do want to go to Adelaide
Speaker 6: and check it out.
Speaker 38: Yes, oh you must do, must, and just not Adelaide
Speaker 38: in and around two you know, suth Australia. Okay, So look,
Speaker 38: this was back, going back decades ago, the Southeastern Freeway
Speaker 38: as it's now known as, and notorious, particularly when it
Speaker 38: gets to the interpection of port cross roads, port ross road,
Speaker 38: crossroad or all that. You may have heard of some
Speaker 38: of that if you happened, I'll leave that to someone else.
Speaker 27: But earlier on.
Speaker 38: Decades ago, I was striving down that two way. It's
Speaker 38: only a narrow two way, let's call it a freeway
Speaker 38: seventies whatever.
Speaker 31: It was.
Speaker 38: From Harndorff to Aglas. I had a brand I was
Speaker 38: striping a brand.
Speaker 15: New Corolla, right yeah, and all that, and all of.
Speaker 38: A sudden coming down, I had absolutely no control over
Speaker 38: that car, and I just had to hang onto the
Speaker 38: steering wheel and steer it. And I didn't want to
Speaker 38: go down that side, so I steered it to the
Speaker 38: other side of the road. Fortunately there were there were
Speaker 38: no no upcoming traffic. Unfortunately, not a stopy pole or
Speaker 38: a big, big trees to crash into. And all I
Speaker 38: can think of, you know, I'm just.
Speaker 39: To this day.
Speaker 38: I've got no idea what coursed that I can only
Speaker 38: but big maybe I saw oil slickle something like that.
Speaker 38: But then, you know, having had that experience, I sometimes
Speaker 38: wonder when there's like innocent vehicles, drivers in cars who
Speaker 38: just veer off the side of a road into a
Speaker 38: gun tree or whatever. And sometimes it can be fatal.
Speaker 27: Or otherwise, Yeah, it can be.
Speaker 6: It can be just a laps in concentration or as
Speaker 6: callers earlier said, you're falling asleep at the wheel. You
Speaker 6: just never know when your time is up. Your time
Speaker 6: is up, I guess. But glad you survived your incident there, Maggie.
Speaker 6: But I must move on, so thank you for the call.
Speaker 6: I do appreciate it is a text here. Can you
Speaker 6: just highlight that third one, Jackson. I will read other
Speaker 6: text out as well. Lynette has said, speak for yourself
Speaker 6: when you say three AW. It doesn't have the brains
Speaker 6: for it. I'm sure Tom Elliott, Tony Tardio, and Ross
Speaker 6: and Rouss have plenty of brains. It was a very
Speaker 6: disrespectful comment, which happens quite a bit with you, Lynette.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Lynette, thank you for the feedback. But I'm
Speaker 6: going to stand my ground on this one. I didn't say, oh,
Speaker 6: every announcer on three AW raving idiot. I didn't say
Speaker 6: anything along those lines. You perhaps you just misheard me.
Speaker 6: All I said was a caller suggested that we're using
Speaker 6: technology to try and encourage people to make ringing three
Speaker 6: AW a daily ritual, because it was coming up on
Speaker 6: some people's phones daily ritual. So a caller suggested, maybe
Speaker 6: we're using that technology, and I've said, no, we're not
Speaker 6: that clever. So I'm talking about us, not being that
Speaker 6: the station as a whole, or the network as a whole,
Speaker 6: not taking the effort to go and investigate technology to
Speaker 6: try and change the way people behave by subliminally advertising
Speaker 6: on their phones that they should contact the station every day.
Speaker 6: That's what I was referring to. So I didn't say
Speaker 6: Ross and Russ and Tony and Tom Elliott have no brains.
Speaker 6: So I don't think my comment was disrespectful. It was
Speaker 6: a lighthearted quip at best. But I'm sorry that you
Speaker 6: heard it that way, And I just wanted to clarify
Speaker 6: that because it's I don't I don't like to be
Speaker 6: thought of as being a disrespectful person. I just I'm
Speaker 6: just here fors and giggles. That's what I'm here for.
Speaker 6: So I hope that that clarifies everything, Lenett, and I
Speaker 6: hope that's okay. Cool? All right? Where we up to
Speaker 6: David's in Israel? Hi, David.
Speaker 26: Simon, you are pure gentleman, the most respectful person on right.
Speaker 26: I'm an amazing person. You just made a cute little
Speaker 26: pipple was really funny. Well, it should be a daily
Speaker 26: ritual to call the station. But you're right, it should
Speaker 26: be a daily Richeal to call the station though. You
Speaker 26: do a good job something, you know.
Speaker 18: I love you.
Speaker 26: You're fantastic.
Speaker 6: No, you're very kind.
Speaker 26: You're on and you brought back Sean twice. And last
Speaker 26: night Marx FROs Slovakia called you brought back some of
Speaker 26: the old callers. It's been really nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's nice for me to catch up with people too.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm happy with you.
Speaker 26: Yes, yeah, it's good. It's good some of the old
Speaker 26: sort of the old shames. I think there was a
Speaker 26: very inspiring comment about the photographs. I've got eighty thousand
Speaker 26: or something photographs on my iPhone iPhone twelve, so it's
Speaker 26: not not a super modern one, but it's really to
Speaker 26: be okay about what four five years old whatever. And
Speaker 26: the one clever thing about the iPhone is that you
Speaker 26: can search things. It knows how to categorize things. So
Speaker 26: if you want to find an old beach scene or
Speaker 26: an old mountain scene or grandkids, so you just put
Speaker 26: in and it'll find mountains or beach or leg or
Speaker 26: trees or whatever.
Speaker 6: I'm I'm not actually fond of it doing that, David.
Speaker 6: I must say, this is this is where the AI
Speaker 6: think you've got to ask it to do it.
Speaker 31: I know.
Speaker 6: But the point I'm making is your phone actually looks
Speaker 6: at what you've taken a photo of and examines it,
Speaker 6: understands it, and categorize it. So if you say, bitch,
Speaker 6: it'll find all the photos you've taken of the beach.
Speaker 6: I don't like the phone knowing what I've taken photos of.
Speaker 6: It's just it's a mechanical thing. I go snap, that's it.
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't want artificial intelligence examining what I'm
Speaker 6: taking photos of. So I actually find that that's a
Speaker 6: bit uncomfortable for me.
Speaker 26: Yeah, but it can, it can be useful. I've got
Speaker 26: at home, I've got in albums. I must have thousands,
Speaker 26: thousands of thousands of pictures and albums. I used to
Speaker 26: love taking pictures and there was a thrill. You take
Speaker 26: it to be developed, and you get it developed, and
Speaker 26: you come back with twelve or twenty four or thirty six. However,
Speaker 26: old Mini was on the road and the first person
Speaker 26: who would always want to see my pictures was the developer,
Speaker 26: you know.
Speaker 6: The oh yeah, get a chemist, or the person who knows.
Speaker 26: That it was the children the chemist, Yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 26: was the children, not the grandchildren.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you go and pick up your photos and the
Speaker 6: person on the counter would tell you what a wonderful
Speaker 6: set of photos you've taken. Yeah again, and now.
Speaker 26: My grandkids come and they look at the pictures of
Speaker 26: you know, my kids when they were and.
Speaker 24: That was my mother.
Speaker 26: Yeahs an amazing, amazing sort of thing. So I found
Speaker 26: that conversation very inspiring. Actually it was good. And mine
Speaker 26: are all backed up to my iCloud. Yeah, my Apple
Speaker 26: ic cloud. You know, you pay a little bit every
Speaker 26: money every month and you like drop offs. I don't
Speaker 26: how to back it up to the drops The ar
Speaker 26: cloud works well too. Yeah, they're secure.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, great systems.
Speaker 26: So in that respect it's Apple is a good ecosystem.
Speaker 26: I think it does a good job. I find it
Speaker 26: and an occasion that you know, in real time and
Speaker 26: take a picture of granted and then two minutes later
Speaker 26: it's on your phone.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's amazing to my mother.
Speaker 26: I sent it to my brother and my sister in
Speaker 26: Melbourne and Sydney, or to my mother in Melbourne, and
Speaker 26: it's amazing. You can share the moment, you know, you
Speaker 26: become sort of like it's like being met up. Scottic
Speaker 26: from Star Check and you know the old series.
Speaker 18: I remember that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, it's amazing how the technology has changed.
Speaker 6: Thank you, David. I've got to get to a break,
Speaker 6: but it's amazing that techology that change. I remember having
Speaker 6: to book a call for my dad to wish his
Speaker 6: mum back in England a happy birthday. He had to
Speaker 6: actually book a call with OTC, the Overseas telecommunications company,
Speaker 6: to actually make a call. Now you just FaceTime someone
Speaker 6: on the other side of the world see them instantly.
Speaker 6: It is just it's remarkable how it's changed. Back in
Speaker 6: a minute, I don't know where the morning's going. It's
Speaker 6: already seven to one in Perth, twenty three after two
Speaker 6: in Adelaide and seven to three in Melbourne. Mick is
Speaker 6: in Copenhagen. Good I Mick.
Speaker 31: Yeah, Hi Simon, and I agree with that previous call
Speaker 31: you got before. Was it day in Israel? Yeares yeah,
Speaker 31: Now I just think I agree with him one hundred percent.
Speaker 31: You're a lovely person and you're funny, you're professional and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh that's very kind. That's lovely of you both.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Mick.
Speaker 24: Have you been now currently?
Speaker 31: I'm actually Dan in Albani. You're at the moment.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, just for a week.
Speaker 31: I come back on Saturday, back to Denmark.
Speaker 6: So what's happening in Albania? Just a little break, is it?
Speaker 31: Or yeah, it's just a little break. It's down in
Speaker 31: the southern there's a southern town down. Yeah, what's a
Speaker 31: good game, So Sardinia and it's no Serena. It's called Yes,
Speaker 31: they are in but it's down very close to the
Speaker 31: border with Greece. In flat. When I flew down last week,
Speaker 31: I flew into Corfu and then sailed across nice. Yeah,
Speaker 31: I've never been to Albania, so i' that's it's a
Speaker 31: lovely place. I mean, it's Puvis. It's a little where
Speaker 31: on the poor side, but but they're just very friendly
Speaker 31: and kind people. And this town here, yeah, the ocean
Speaker 31: and that it's fantastic. I'll just still got a quick
Speaker 31: wik down here. And in fact, I think the last
Speaker 31: time I spoke to you, Simon, was I was in Vietnam,
Speaker 31: then in Saigon.
Speaker 6: I think that's right.
Speaker 31: Yeah, And if you remember, it was on New Year's
Speaker 31: Eve and I rang through to you had you said
Speaker 31: you had a little bit of space on the board,
Speaker 31: so I rang through and wished you and Fillip all
Speaker 31: the best and.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's right. That that rings a bell now, yeah yeah, So.
Speaker 31: And then after this song going on, would normally going
Speaker 31: to tennis camp in October and that's tam this year.
Speaker 31: We normally do it in Croatia, but this year we're
Speaker 31: going down to Turkey.
Speaker 6: Now wonderful.
Speaker 31: A little bit so on it and you know, well
Speaker 31: for you, I enjoy traveling them.
Speaker 6: That a yeah, that's it's marvelous. I wish we had longer,
Speaker 6: mit because it's been young since we've spoken and had
Speaker 6: a good catch up. But I've got to get to news.
Speaker 6: We've got to get a breakout of the way here.
Speaker 6: If you do want to buzz us back a bit

Speaker 6: the news. Chicken Man as well and Rob Smith will
Speaker 6: join us for the US report ahead of the serial.
Speaker 6: So it's another busy hour ahead. We've got two and
Speaker 6: a half more hours to go, or two hours if
Speaker 6: you're listening, it's six PR because of course you leave
Speaker 6: us at three for money news.
Speaker 2: This he's Australia Overnight with Simon.
Speaker 6: Owen's Hour number four. If you've just woken up, or
Speaker 6: if you're just heading to bed and you've popped the
Speaker 6: radio on and you're wondering, that's not Tony McManus. No,
Speaker 6: Tony's just off crook again this morning. He'll hopefully be
Speaker 6: Writer's Rain ready to go on Monday. He is a trooper.
Speaker 6: He rarely ever takes a time, takes a day off work.
Speaker 6: He's very devoted to the program, but occasionally you just
Speaker 6: need to. And his other half has been just a
Speaker 6: little unwell earlier in the week and it looks like
Speaker 6: he's courted as well. So Tony's off. I'm in Jackson's
Speaker 6: here as well. And in this hour, big hour, we've
Speaker 6: got Chickenman coming up, we've got calls, we've got Rod
Speaker 6: Smith with the US Report, and we've got the cereal.
Speaker 6: So quickly knock off a couple of text messages that
Speaker 6: came through in the last hour. I got my first
Speaker 6: mobile phone in two thousand and six, around about July.
Speaker 6: I think it was called a Sagum made in France.
Speaker 6: Small device but powerful. It had high quality sound. Well
Speaker 6: that's something that's missing from a lot of phones nowadays.
Speaker 6: Thank you, John P. My first phone was a was
Speaker 6: bag phone. I don't know if maybe that was a
Speaker 6: big phone. I don't know. The brick nineteen ninety two motoroller,
Speaker 6: says Tommy B. You must have been loaded, Tommy B.
Speaker 6: To have a motorole back in ninety two probably cost
Speaker 6: you a thousand bucks back then. Do you remember the
Speaker 6: person from Sydney who pronounced his love for you last
Speaker 6: time you're on, Simon, Yes, I do. I'd forgotten about him,
Speaker 6: to be honest. He was very fond of me. It
Speaker 6: was very touching, Simon. I was two years old when
Speaker 6: I got my first mobile, really two. I showed Mummy
Speaker 6: how to set it up, also walked around talking on it,
Speaker 6: but no one was there. Peter of Adelaide, Oh that
Speaker 6: reminds me so Jackson. We've got two birds at my
Speaker 6: wife's house now, two birds Alexandrine parrots and their intelligent birds.
Speaker 6: They've got the brain of like a two or three
Speaker 6: year old child. And my wife in running the basketball club.
Speaker 6: My wife is always on the phone, like the phone
Speaker 6: is just constantly ringing, so she's always walking around with
Speaker 6: her hand up to her ear. On the phone. The
Speaker 6: bird now one of the birds, the male who mimics
Speaker 6: everything will often stand there with one leg on the
Speaker 6: perch and the other one up to his head talking,
Speaker 6: just making random noises. So his impersonating us being on
Speaker 6: the phone. So that is brilliant stuff. So thank you
Speaker 6: for those texts, Simon. I wanted to be an adult
Speaker 6: movie star, but I never got past the short list though,
Speaker 6: says Ben. Very funny. That's that's cute. Thank you, Ben. Hi, Simon,
Speaker 6: I I've already read that one. Simon. You are the
Speaker 6: You are the nicest person I've ever heard. Sorry, I
Speaker 6: should have pre read it because I don't like to
Speaker 6: read out all the complimentary texts, even though there's thousands
Speaker 6: of them, obviously, but thank you for the very kind words.
Speaker 6: David of Winchelsea. Karen calls from Altona Meadows ahead of
Speaker 6: Chicken Man. Hi, Karen, Hi.

Speaker 34: a few. One went down the top. This is not good.

Speaker 34: you know. I mean I've been download usually got like
Speaker 34: hockkil song and I'll never get bored with the phone,
Speaker 34: but I'd really be lost without it.
Speaker 6: I play I play a game on mine called toy Blast,
Speaker 6: which I just I love that game. I've been playing
Speaker 6: it now for about sixty years. I've never been a
Speaker 6: candy crushed person, but to toy Blast, that's for me

Speaker 6: albums so we can share it among the siblings and
Speaker 6: we could all have digital copies of it. It's it's
Speaker 6: a great process looking back over family photos. Thank you, Karen.
Speaker 6: Graham's in your kind. Hi Graham, how are you going?
Speaker 29: I telling you you've got a voice very much like
Speaker 29: Steve Collins from Perth. It's on the six pound Perth.
Speaker 29: I'm very much like it.
Speaker 6: There you go.
Speaker 29: I share a lot of things with famous people. John
Speaker 29: Fogdi he's eighty, I'm eighty.
Speaker 17: Stevie Nix and.
Speaker 29: I shared a birthday on Monday's seventy seven. Everyone knows
Speaker 29: Stevens next. But Graham the painter in Perth and not
Speaker 29: a little people and made mag I'm still painting. Actually
Speaker 29: I'm doing the outside and thought the weather's going to
Speaker 29: be rotten. But Monday I've got to go into I've
Speaker 29: got trouble my lama, so I've got to go and
Speaker 29: look make zilanskill or Zemanski. She's got blood, janthalist what
Speaker 29: I've got. So I'm getting a minute the hospital on
Speaker 29: Monday on a pilot program, which sounds very good. So
Speaker 29: they have ten days of chatting up the nurses.
Speaker 17: That was very hot.
Speaker 29: But mobile phone, It's funny. I started out with the
Speaker 29: Nokia and I remember I was doing a paint job up.
Speaker 18: On the corner and trigged and I put it on
Speaker 18: the roof of the car and I drove.
Speaker 29: Off and I went back three minutes later and the
Speaker 29: damn phe was gone. Somebody picked it up off the road.
Speaker 29: You know, I couldn't leave it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 29: And then painting, you know DEAs sbeen settler Saddler's.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well I was.
Speaker 29: I painted the house three Dance And when they were
Speaker 29: selling it, Willie Portius was the agent and he brought
Speaker 29: back from America a brand new Samsung that had never
Speaker 29: been into Australia and he gave it a death span,
Speaker 29: well death spin. Passed it on to me and I
Speaker 29: got home and I had it in my jeans and
Speaker 29: I took the jeans off, threw them in the wash,
Speaker 29: and about five minutes later, I thought we set phone
Speaker 29: and I could went to the washing machine. I I've
Speaker 29: still got the phone because I couldn't repair it, couldn't
Speaker 29: dry it out. I didn't know about rice in those days.
Speaker 29: You can stick them in rice. I've still got the
Speaker 29: damn then.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if the phone was on when it was
Speaker 6: in the machine, then it would have shortened out. Anyway,
Speaker 6: it's yeah, the rise to game. He works. If the
Speaker 6: phone was off and hopefully no electronics shorted.
Speaker 29: Out, it still looks in good condition. Forget that one.
Speaker 18: Look at you, dumb bugger.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, my wife dropped hers in the mop bucket
Speaker 6: once away. Yeah she did, but it was it was
Speaker 6: too late. It was before they were fully waterproof. You know,
Speaker 6: my wife was chatting on the phone with one hand
Speaker 6: and trying to squeeze the mop bucket. You know, it's
Speaker 6: the old ring bucket where you put your foot on
Speaker 6: it and lift the mop out. And she was trying
Speaker 6: to lift the mop out and bumped herself and drop
Speaker 6: the phones right into the bucket.
Speaker 29: Well, I had another one. I was painting this house,
Speaker 29: and you know those washing machines with a dome sort
Speaker 29: of lid on them.
Speaker 18: Yeah, and I stuck it on near while I.
Speaker 29: Was playing the frame, and I forgot she'd turned the
Speaker 29: machine on. All of a sudden it started to the
Speaker 29: spin cycle next to you. I know, the iPhones on
Speaker 29: the ground with a smash wins. So I haven't had
Speaker 29: a lot of luck with phones, you know, but they
Speaker 29: look at their wonderful. I love technology. I just love it,
Speaker 29: and I wish i'd had it when I first started painting,
Speaker 29: because you don't have to drive anywhere. Now they're just
Speaker 29: send pictures in quota.
Speaker 16: Ou of the phone.
Speaker 29: You don't waste time going everywhere.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 29: The reason the reason I'm still painting at eighty is
Speaker 29: because I'm a gambler and I better on horses that
Speaker 29: don't know how to run past the other horse.
Speaker 16: B and fault.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 6: Well, as long as long as you're able to keep
Speaker 6: a roof over your head and keep a lid on it.
Speaker 6: That's the matters.
Speaker 29: I brought up two boys, and I just you know,
Speaker 29: I lived by myself, and seventy nine is a I
Speaker 29: got divorced. I brought up with two boys. Well they're
Speaker 29: not boys. It's fifty six fifty.
Speaker 18: Four now, you know.
Speaker 29: But I still think they're boys, you know. But I
Speaker 29: wonder where because John Hugh is a friend of mine.
Speaker 29: I went over and John turns ninety in December, and
Speaker 29: I said, John, where did almost years a go? You know,
Speaker 29: how did we get to this? John's ninety? I think Jesus,
Speaker 29: it goes quick, doesn't It sure does, just disappears. I
Speaker 29: thought it was only an age, but young people reckon
Speaker 29: the years go quick.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, look, thank you Graham. I've got to keep moving.
Speaker 6: But yeah. I opened the show yesterday morning again feeling
Speaker 6: in for Tony. I opened the show and I was
Speaker 6: chatting to Jay about the fact that here we are
Speaker 6: at the end of May, and I still struggle to
Speaker 6: comprehend the fact that it's twenty twenty five. I always
Speaker 6: go to write twenty twenty four when i'm writing a
Speaker 6: date down, so it just keeps on going. Thanks for that.
Speaker 6: Kenny's in Redcliffe before we get to Chicken Man. Good day, Kenny. Okay, Oh,
Speaker 6: Kenny's asleep. Either that or he just really likes me.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, well that's annoying. That's good. That's good because
Speaker 6: the alternative you don't want a heavy breathing call from
Speaker 6: Kenny to Simon it's not what we're looking for, all right. Well,
Speaker 6: Kenny's asleep, he'll ring us back when he wakes up.
Speaker 6: California dream and when we think California, we only think
Speaker 6: of one person. That's Rod Smith, our US correspondent, get A.
Speaker 31: Rod get A Simon, looks like you're on deck this morning.
Speaker 6: I am. Yes, Tony's just a little off color. He's
Speaker 6: partner's been. It was a little crooking earlier in the week,
Speaker 6: and it seems that Tony's caught it. So he's taking
Speaker 6: a couple of days off.
Speaker 31: Well, you know, like, if he takes say, three more days,
Speaker 31: I'm sure you'll be happy.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'll happily take them anytime.
Speaker 31: Exactly.
Speaker 6: How's things going in California? How's the weather last?
Speaker 31: First off, I was going to say, hey, it's a
Speaker 31: little overcast today, currently eighteen, going for a tib of
Speaker 31: twenty two. Look, I'm sure it will progress pretty soon.
Speaker 31: I'm talking about till the warmer days, because last weekend
Speaker 31: it was the unofficial start of summer here in California
Speaker 31: and the United States.
Speaker 6: And yeah, eighteen start of summer. That's not bad. That's well,
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm not there to compare a year
Speaker 6: on year, but eighteen degrees not a bad start for
Speaker 6: the start of summer. I think.
Speaker 31: Now that's on the coast. Now if you go inland,
Speaker 31: the temperature goes up another ten to fifteen degrees.
Speaker 6: Oh does it.
Speaker 31: Really very quickly, so you kind of go, hey, it's
Speaker 31: good to be on the coast.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, craky. All right. Now, so weather aside, what's
Speaker 6: happening in California, well around the US at this time?
Speaker 31: Well, gen z is now they're signing up for adult
Speaker 31: one oh one classes their assignment. Now gen Z is
Speaker 31: con code TikTok in their sleep, but can't really cook
Speaker 31: rice without looking at a YouTube tutorial. And gen z
Speaker 31: is they're flocking to this Adulting one oh one. It's
Speaker 31: a crash course of doing things, and they're desperate to
Speaker 31: learn what previous generations called common sense. How do you
Speaker 31: find that? Well, they're trying to, but look, how to
Speaker 31: do laundry, budgeting for rents, or navigating a grocery store
Speaker 31: without Google finding out what a turn up is. Now,
Speaker 31: Adulting one oh one covers everything from healthy relationships to
Speaker 31: how not to set your kitchen on fire. And look, Simon,
Speaker 31: I was going to say, do you remember when we
Speaker 31: used to do home economics in high school?
Speaker 6: I was thinking exactly that. Hello to missus Tyrrell if
Speaker 6: she's listening my home economics teacher from school.
Speaker 24: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 31: We used to cook things. Yeah, and we had all
Speaker 31: these stoves in the classroom and you had to cook stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I remember it well. I was never good at it,
Speaker 6: but I remember it well.
Speaker 31: And some kids used to catch things on fire.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, go to lift a saucepan off. You were
Speaker 6: just boiling some water on the stove and it was
Speaker 6: a gas stove, and you go to lift the saucepan
Speaker 6: off with a tea towel so you don't burn yourself,
Speaker 6: but you set fire to the tea towel. I think
Speaker 6: most students did that at some point.
Speaker 31: Well, it was a learning curve, wasn't it, Simon jens
Speaker 31: Is They're looking to find those crucial lin lessons now.
Speaker 31: I hope at a one on one helps them.
Speaker 6: Well, I think I'm surprised that they don't do more
Speaker 6: of that at school. Two of my kids are driving
Speaker 6: the other to a learning not one of them knows
Speaker 6: how to change a tire. I had to come and
Speaker 6: change a tire for my daughter the other day when
Speaker 6: she got a nail in it, and because I've said
Speaker 6: to it, do you know where the jack is? And
Speaker 6: she said, what's a jack? So these sorts of things
Speaker 6: I think could be useful to be taught in school.
Speaker 31: What are they going to do ring up RACV or
Speaker 31: NRMA or all the other road organizations.
Speaker 6: Well, what they generally do is ring their parents and
Speaker 6: say what do I do now? So yeah, but I
Speaker 6: just you know, so much of school is you know,
Speaker 6: it's your maths, your chemistry, your sciences, your economics, legal studies.
Speaker 6: All of those things that you do at school. They're
Speaker 6: all based around what career you might want to take.
Speaker 6: And if you don't do well in all of those subjects,
Speaker 6: school can be a hard thing for some people. I
Speaker 6: wasn't a great student. I just wasn't very good those
Speaker 6: sorts of things. But if they were teaching us practical
Speaker 6: things that we're going to use in life as well,
Speaker 6: like how to change a car tire, how to cook
Speaker 6: a tuna casse role, you know, how to put on
Speaker 6: a wash, and whether you use fabric softener with this
Speaker 6: thing or that thing. There are things that you could
Speaker 6: learn at school, and at least you would not feel
Speaker 6: that school was a waste of time, which for me,
Speaker 6: I think it largely was.
Speaker 31: Weoll everyday things. They just need to learn them. Yeah,
Speaker 31: and they're just common sense.
Speaker 6: Yep, absolutely yeah, yeah, Well good on them for signing
Speaker 6: up for those classes. I think it's wonderful. What else
Speaker 6: you got for us?
Speaker 31: Now, Look, when you go to swim, you know your
Speaker 31: brain is going to thank you there, simon, because swimming
Speaker 31: isn't just for fun. Neuroscience shows it provides a uni
Speaker 31: brain benefit from just you know, kind of getting rid
Speaker 31: of stress to improving your memory. Look, last weekend, like
Speaker 31: I said, was the unofficial start to summer here in
Speaker 31: the US, and water based activities are really a great
Speaker 31: way to relax and stay cool. Exercise is good for
Speaker 31: the brain, as we well know, and psychologists and neuroscientists
Speaker 31: have covered of a variety of benefits that swimming seas
Speaker 31: to bride because look, it reduces stress, makes your brain
Speaker 31: work better, lowers blood pressure, and recent experiments showed that
Speaker 31: just two minutes has this not even in the water, Simon.
Speaker 31: Just having a look at some lovely scenery, say waves,
Speaker 31: you know, crashing on the beach, or just looking at
Speaker 31: a beautiful lake. It is a great exercise for the
Speaker 31: mind to for your blood pressure and heart rate. It
Speaker 31: can have that calming effect which is really good. Look overall,
Speaker 31: swimming is a great exercise and it makes us happier.
Speaker 31: So I'm sure Simon, you know after work you'll be
Speaker 31: a lot happier when you go to swim in your
Speaker 31: infinity pool and look out to Port Philip Bay from
Speaker 31: your penthouse.
Speaker 6: Yes, that Carca de Owens. Yes, it's It's what I
Speaker 6: look forward to at the end of a long, hard
Speaker 6: shift after my massuse gives me a rubdown as well.
Speaker 28: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Now in seriousness, though, Rod, I've got a I've got
Speaker 6: a friend who's taken up windsurfing as a hobby, and
Speaker 6: in freezing temperatures she'll go out and windsurf and I
Speaker 6: look at her, go, you are insane. You could be
Speaker 6: sitting in front of a telly keeping warm, and yet
Speaker 6: you're plunging yourself into the ocean trying to cling onto
Speaker 6: a board and a sail. But she really gets something
Speaker 6: out of it, and I think that's exactly what you're
Speaker 6: talking about.
Speaker 31: Well, if it's working for her, I'm sure it's going
Speaker 31: to work for other people to.
Speaker 6: Yep, no good advice makes me want to join a
Speaker 6: gym Monday. Now you've got news on OnlyFans.
Speaker 31: Look, a young woman called Marie Tamara earns millions each
Speaker 31: year for her six foot three inch stature. Now look
Speaker 31: she really she's got to just look after her legs.
Speaker 18: That's right.
Speaker 31: They're a great asset. And she makes five thousand dollars
Speaker 31: a month the assignment. Yeah, she will do whatever it takes. Well,
Speaker 31: not five thousand dollars a month. Should I say she
Speaker 31: spends five thousand dollars a month because she'll do whatever
Speaker 31: it takes to maintain her money making long legs. Like
Speaker 31: I said, she gets millions each year. I don't know
Speaker 31: as she does that. In the five thousand dollars, it
Speaker 31: includes massages, leg facials. What's a leg facial? But that
Speaker 31: must be keeping the legs nice and smooth to eliminate imperfections,
Speaker 31: and so she cannot afford to get a bruise, and
Speaker 31: any imperfection could ruin a photo shoot. But apart from
Speaker 31: her doing that, you know, you've got to look at
Speaker 31: other models there simon leg models like she is, ones
Speaker 31: that will get paid a mediocre price of sixty five
Speaker 31: thousand a year. Have a catwalk models five hundred to
Speaker 31: two and a half thousand dollars a show, and then
Speaker 31: you had the supermodels. They can command high fees of
Speaker 31: twenty thousand dollars a show. But have you ever thought
Speaker 31: of being a hand model? Rates for being a hand
Speaker 31: model there, Simon go from one hundred and fifty an
Speaker 31: hour to four thousand dollars a shoot. So if you're
Speaker 31: thinking about what else can I do in life? Well,
Speaker 31: have there being a hand model? If you've got good
Speaker 31: looking hands, sign up.
Speaker 6: Well, if ever varicus vains come into fashion, you know,
Speaker 6: maybe there's my chance.
Speaker 31: That doesn't sure you don't have any there, Simon.
Speaker 6: I know I'm fit and healthy and trim, taut and ria,
Speaker 6: but that reminds me of Catherine back or Back who
Speaker 6: was Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazard. I remember
Speaker 6: reading once that during the filming of The Dukes of Hazard,
Speaker 6: her legs were ensured for a million dollars. I don't
Speaker 6: know whether that was fake news at the time, but
Speaker 6: I just remember that being a story.
Speaker 31: I'm pretty sure that was on the money there, Simon.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rod, we've got a squeeze in a break here
Speaker 6: where time's really getting away from us. Back with more
Speaker 6: of Rod after this pleasure when I fell in for
Speaker 6: Tony to chat to Rod Smith in the US, and Rod,
Speaker 6: you've got a great story here about an anti aging cocktail.
Speaker 31: Yeah. Look, we always look for that fountain of youth,
Speaker 31: don't we there to give Simon? But look, ciders have
Speaker 31: tested an any aging drug cocktail in mice and found
Speaker 31: it extends the animal's lifespan by around thirty percent. Now
Speaker 31: the mice stayed healthier for longer, with less chronic inflammation
Speaker 31: and delayed cancer onset. Now the two drugs are rapper
Speaker 31: micin and train medendib now both used to treat different
Speaker 31: kinds of cancer. And these two drugs that scientists were
Speaker 31: researching could help people to stay healthy and disease free
Speaker 31: for longer late in life. But both drugs are already
Speaker 31: approved for use here in the US and also Europe,
Speaker 31: so further studies are continuing their Simon, not bad to
Speaker 31: find out about that, because an extra thirty percent goes
Speaker 31: a good long way, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: Well, it does if the average person's living to eighty
Speaker 6: or so, you know, an extra thirty percent gives you
Speaker 6: another twenty odd years there. That's that's quite remarkable. And
Speaker 6: if they're already available, I imagine it's going to be
Speaker 6: one of those things like o Zimpic where people just
Speaker 6: rush out and buy it without even reading the small print.
Speaker 31: Yeah, and find out what the after effects are.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, yes, Yeah, you grow a second ed, but
Speaker 6: then at least you've got company while you age.
Speaker 31: It's okay, exactly.
Speaker 6: What have you got for us to leave us with?
Speaker 6: On This Day in music.
Speaker 31: On This Day in Music, nineteen sixty nine, Crosby, Stills
Speaker 31: and Nash released their self titled album, spawning two top
Speaker 31: forty hits, Marracush Express and Sweet Judy Blue Eyes. Ninety

Speaker 6: Jackson's here as well, and he's ready to take your
Speaker 6: calls on one double three six nine three. But Gabriel
Speaker 6: Hodson's been doing news overnight. And Gabriel, I heard you
Speaker 6: do a story on John Foggerty which I found interesting.
Speaker 11: He's eighty. Can you believe that?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I know that ages us all makes me sad.
Speaker 11: Well, he's going back on tour. He's releasing a new album.
Speaker 11: But listen, what are the songs that made him famous?
Speaker 11: He was from Creden's clear Water Revival. Name it couple?
Speaker 6: Oh well you got proud Mary? Have you ever seen
Speaker 6: the Rain? Then the two Bad Moon Rising, Bad Moon Rizing?
Speaker 6: Of course?
Speaker 11: Yeah, fortunate son. There's a whole, long, on long list
Speaker 11: of them. But these were hits over fifty years ago.
Speaker 6: Yes, my parents used to listen to them. That makes
Speaker 6: me feel younger now, that's good.
Speaker 11: I think mine did too. But listen, I didn't know this,
Speaker 11: but for most of his life and he's eighty, he
Speaker 11: hasn't owned the rights to his own songs, the songs
Speaker 11: that he wrote and made him famous, He doesn't have
Speaker 11: the rights to them. So he's got them back and
Speaker 11: he's re releasing them in the style that he wants
Speaker 11: to do it in. He's doing Taylor Swift swifty, So.
Speaker 6: He's going to re record them. Is he doing like
Speaker 6: Taylor Swift when she did it? Did it really close
Speaker 6: to the originals? But they were new recordings. When he
Speaker 6: says he's doing them the way he wants them, does
Speaker 6: that mean it's going to be one of those slow
Speaker 6: ballad albums where he's going to slow them all down
Speaker 6: and just do it with a guitar.
Speaker 11: Or he's eighty. Look he looks looking at this picture.
Speaker 11: He looks quite young.
Speaker 6: Doesn't Heah, Yeah, well his head.
Speaker 11: Well, his face doesn't, but the hair does.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got a twenty year old head of hair
Speaker 6: an eighty year old face. If that's the best way
Speaker 6: I'm going to go, I don't mean to be rude,
Speaker 6: but it doesn't.
Speaker 11: Well it's accurate, you know, but but yeah, I don't know. Look,
Speaker 11: technology is certainly changed. You might chuck a synthesizer in
Speaker 11: there or something.
Speaker 6: You know, I just yeah, I just don't know if
Speaker 6: it's going to work for him to re record them
Speaker 6: because we've known those classics for so long, like style
Speaker 6: they are. Yeah, good on him. There's there's always that
Speaker 6: big debate with the record industry that the recording industry
Speaker 6: that you know that they sign young artists up who
Speaker 6: have got great talent, but they signed them into terrible
Speaker 6: contracts where the artist gets very few.
Speaker 11: Rights here, so many horror stories.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they don't get to keep their masters and all
Speaker 6: that sort of thing. But at the same time, record
Speaker 6: companies for everyone John Foggerty and Credence that they sign
Speaker 6: they would probably run through thirty acts that go nowhere
Speaker 6: that the record companies invest a lot of money into.
Speaker 6: So in order for the record companies to actually remain viable,
Speaker 6: they do need like watertight contracts and to just suck
Speaker 6: all the finance out of the bigger artists.
Speaker 30: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Look, I guess there's two sides to every story. But yeah,
Speaker 11: I just can't believe he didn't have the rights to
Speaker 11: his own songs and it's not like he performed and
Speaker 11: he wrote them as well, So yeah, good on him
Speaker 11: for grabbing them back. There'll be twenty songs on this album.
Speaker 11: He had a hit in the eighties, The Old Man
Speaker 11: down the Road? Was that the next Yeah, that was his.
Speaker 11: It was a solo hit, down that one. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 11: wondering if that'll be on there too, But yeah, I
Speaker 11: don't know for all the Credence fans out.
Speaker 6: There, and the album's coming out in August or something.
Speaker 11: Something like that, August September.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, Well, we await with interest to hear absolutely
Speaker 6: how it sounds. Yeah, I should throw open one double three,
Speaker 6: six nine. Three Artists who have re recorded their songs
Speaker 6: did it ever work? Leo Sayer, who has moved here
Speaker 6: from England quite a few years ago. Now, the thing
Speaker 6: with the wiggle, Yeah, he did the appeared with wiggles,
Speaker 6: but he did. He did a new album of his
Speaker 6: old material and it was all slowed down and ballads
Speaker 6: and it was lousy, I'm sorry to say.
Speaker 11: Still always a disco star, disco legend. Yeah, yeah, disco
Speaker 11: that sort of thing, and he was great and.
Speaker 6: Had some fantastic hits, but re recording them in the
Speaker 6: style he did when he he did an album about
Speaker 6: fifteen or so years ago, lowsy, sorry to say.
Speaker 11: Some acoustic. If a band is very synthesized or has
Speaker 11: a lot of electronic, you know, instruments in it, I
Speaker 11: think it's good to do an acoustic version and you go, wow,
Speaker 11: that song sounds like that, but it's a bit similar,
Speaker 11: but just slowed down. It doesn't grab me at all.
Speaker 6: Well, there was that MTV series of Unplugged acts. They
Speaker 6: got ram and some of those, Yeah, some of those
Speaker 6: were really really good. Aha, did take on Me, but
Speaker 6: a very slow love ballad version of take On and
Speaker 6: it's actually really it's a beautiful song.
Speaker 11: I saw them just before the pandemic. They came, they did,
Speaker 11: They toured Australia and it was a bit will they
Speaker 11: won't they appear because it was a very you know,
Speaker 11: the pandemic was sort of getting worse. So I was
Speaker 11: pretty lucky to see them. But they in one concert
Speaker 11: they performed three versions of Takeoff Team on Me. Yeah
Speaker 11: because they had a demo version.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because they really only had two hits.
Speaker 11: So well. Unfortunately, the Powers of Bee didn't release a
Speaker 11: lot of their material in Australia. They had a lot
Speaker 11: of hits in Europe in the nineties, even in the
Speaker 11: early two thousands, none of them were released here as far.
Speaker 25: As I know.
Speaker 6: It's the same with Dave Dobbin, who had hit after
Speaker 6: hit in New Zealand. Yeah, we only know him really
Speaker 6: for Slice of Heaven.
Speaker 11: He that's true. Yeah, I did not know he wrote
Speaker 11: he wrote a Stan Walker song, Welcome Home. I think
Speaker 11: it was cooled.
Speaker 6: I love Welcome Home. Yeah, that's my favorite Dave Dobbin song.
Speaker 6: I thought I was the only person in the world
Speaker 6: who knew it.
Speaker 11: No, will, I don't know it. I just heard that
Speaker 11: it was a Dave Dobbin song. The version I know
Speaker 11: is Stan Walkers.
Speaker 6: Okay, No, I've got Dave Dobbins on my playlist. I
Speaker 6: love it.

Speaker 24: out you're trying to find the zipper on your wet suits.
Speaker 24: So you just get out of the bloody thing and
Speaker 24: get in the car and go home and have a

Speaker 24: Chat, Yeah, good to see Bye.
Speaker 6: Thanks mate, cheers. It's twenty after four in Victoria. In
Speaker 6: Western Australia it's twenty after two and in South Australia
Speaker 6: ten to four. Your calls continue after this. Just before
Speaker 6: we get back to calls, I just want to repeat this.
Speaker 6: We've mentioned it a couple of times over the course
Speaker 6: of the night, but as people are waking up this morning,
Speaker 6: this is for Victorian listeners just an appeal because there
Speaker 6: is a young girl who has gone missing. Police are
Speaker 6: currently searching for and appealing for public assistance to help
Speaker 6: locate missing girl Ivy. The eleven year old girl was
Speaker 6: last seen in Cranbin North yesterday at about twenty past
Speaker 6: eight in the morning, so she's been missing now for
Speaker 6: about twenty hours. Both police and Ivy's family have serious
Speaker 6: concerns for her welfare due to her age and disappearance
Speaker 6: being out of character. She doesn't have access to a
Speaker 6: mobile phone. Ivy is described as being of Asian appearance,
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty centimeters tall, with a medium build
Speaker 6: and dark chest length hair and light blue glasses. She
Speaker 6: was last seen wearing a navy school uniform and carrying
Speaker 6: a backpack. An image of Ivy is available for those
Speaker 6: who have access to Victoria Police website. If you've got access,
Speaker 6: she can google the picture of her. Anyone who has
Speaker 6: any sightings of Ivy is advice to call Triple zero
Speaker 6: and do what she can to assist. I always make
Speaker 6: a point of saying it's cold out there in Melbourne
Speaker 6: at the moment, so hopefully she's headed toward. If she's lost,
Speaker 6: hopefully she's headed toward a warm, dry area like a
Speaker 6: McDonald's seven to eleven, anything that's open, anything that's got
Speaker 6: lights on or whatever. So if you're stopping in to
Speaker 6: get a jam donut or something on your way to
Speaker 6: work this morning, please just keep an eye out for
Speaker 6: an eleven year old girl in a Navy school uniform
Speaker 6: evasion appearance carrying a backpack. Looks I'm reading between the
Speaker 6: lines with the press release, but they say that she
Speaker 6: was last seen at eight twenty am yesterday. That was Friday.
Speaker 6: That was Thursday, so that would have meant she was
Speaker 6: on her way to school, I would assume. So she
Speaker 6: never quite made it to school. So whether she got
Speaker 6: on the wrong barse or something, we don't know. But
Speaker 6: if you're in the Cranbourne North area or anywhere around there,
Speaker 6: keep an eye out for Ivy. If you don't mind.
Speaker 6: Breisa is in Coffs Harbor, get a bresa.
Speaker 39: Oh someone haven't spoken for all.
Speaker 6: No, it's good to hear your voice.
Speaker 18: Well, I didn't expect to be.

Speaker 12: The Perth.
Speaker 19: Anyway. Yeah, I was talking to me far Capting yesterday
Speaker 19: about that bowl again, windmill burning them. I've heard the
Speaker 19: whole grids off or now, because I just run them
Speaker 19: in a series. I got from one to one to
Speaker 19: one to one to the next one and if one,
Speaker 19: if one's interrupted, the nopals out of about thirty of them.
Speaker 6: So until that one's repaid the rest.
Speaker 24: Power power.
Speaker 19: Yeah, and the worst I have a foive million dollars
Speaker 19: to build. Wow, that's yeah, a good bit of money
Speaker 19: just sitting on them.
Speaker 6: Yep, yep, it's not not it's certainly far from ideal.
Speaker 6: I think we could say.
Speaker 19: Exactly and that very old taxpayers.
Speaker 6: I thought, yes, the on the gym membership thing, Mark,
Speaker 6: because we were talking about exercise and stuff earlier and
Speaker 6: I thought, there's a gym, there's a gym near my place.
Speaker 6: It was with Rod Smith doing the US report. He said, swimming,
Speaker 6: you know, it releases good chemicals in your brain and
Speaker 6: all that stuff. Swimming is very good for you mentally
Speaker 6: as well as physically and I thought, Oh, there's a
Speaker 6: gym up the road for my place. Maybe I should look.
Speaker 6: So I bought up the website during the news bulletin,
Speaker 6: and I just thought, how much does it cost to
Speaker 6: be a member of the gym? And do you think
Speaker 6: they tell you on the website. No, you've got to
Speaker 6: give them all your personal details in your life story
Speaker 6: before they'll tell you what it costs to get a
Speaker 6: gym membership. I just want to know because if it's
Speaker 6: if it's five bucks a week or ten bucks a week, yeah,
Speaker 6: I'll do it. If it's fifty bucks for week or whatever, no,
Speaker 6: I'm not spending that much money, So tell me and
Speaker 6: then I'll decide if I want to join. But I'm
Speaker 6: not signing up to any that's not going to tell
Speaker 6: me what you know, I'm not going to hand over
Speaker 6: all my details and be spammed relentlessly by some jim
Speaker 6: because they're notoriously hard to get out of apparently once
Speaker 6: you're a member. So I just can't see myself doing it.
Speaker 6: So I think they do themselves out of business.
Speaker 19: Oh, I thought you're talking about Jim's now.
Speaker 6: One about what.
Speaker 24: Well you wanted to go?
Speaker 19: He wanted to go and see Jim. You can just
Speaker 19: ring him up, can't you.

Speaker 6: but after that the board is clear. Mondeur, I have
Speaker 6: got a few things I want to read out, like
Speaker 6: Jimmy Barnes's story in the paper today, fascinating back in
Speaker 6: a sec twenty three to five Victoria, twenty three to
Speaker 6: the three in Perth in Western Australia, I should say,
Speaker 6: And in South Australia it's seven after four Arthur's in
Speaker 6: West Footscray, did I Arthur?
Speaker 14: Good morning again, Simon and Jackson, just for you and
Speaker 14: Bryce about the sports? Who listens to the radio that
Speaker 14: join the GYP. I'm being sarcastic anyway. You know you
Speaker 14: mentioned the phones. I've got my mate's mobile phone, the
Speaker 14: old analog and it still rings on triple zero.
Speaker 6: Really yeah?
Speaker 14: And I asked Marty Fields. He said some people still
Speaker 14: use them in the rural country areas as farmers on analog.
Speaker 14: But I said that kind of still works. He said,
Speaker 14: it's still connected to the tower. I quickly shut off
Speaker 14: and still I tried one one too, quickly switched off,
Speaker 14: just to see what happens. But something else I want
Speaker 14: to bring up. Seeing you're going to mention the story
Speaker 14: of Jimmy Barnes Tatam mcmahonus mentioned, you know the actor
Speaker 14: Christopher Lee plaid dragon account yoga. Yeah, yeah, I had
Speaker 14: no idea doing martial arts for several years in karate
Speaker 14: and everything, and I checked with Jim who knows my
Speaker 14: brother and the mate. He was a top martial artist
Speaker 14: and next special Forces. There was his birthday couple days ago.
Speaker 14: Tony McManus said, I'm not sure if he's still with
Speaker 14: us or not, but I had no idea he was
Speaker 14: a martial artist and next special forces in the military.
Speaker 14: It's like when you mentioned was an a teal from
Speaker 14: other side there was an Air Force Parlam and I
Speaker 14: had no idea about that. I was surprised.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's amazing that the stories that some people have
Speaker 6: aside from their careers, the other stories are amazing.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Sadly died seventh of June twenty fifteen at age ninety three,
Speaker 6: So yeah, if he was still alive, he'd be one
Speaker 6: hundred and three.
Speaker 14: You find out a lot of things on three aw
Speaker 14: it's incredible, So I guess I'll leave it to many
Speaker 14: of them. Geen, Jimmy Barnes run. It's just what i'd
Speaker 14: mentioned that because you mentioned about possessed, but he was
Speaker 14: just for the movies. But I only found that out
Speaker 14: just last night. I had no idea. But it's just
Speaker 14: amazing what you find out.
Speaker 6: Really, Yeah it is, isn't it. Yeah? Fascinating.
Speaker 14: Well, I don't leave you get on with it because
Speaker 14: I know you've got quite a bit to do.
Speaker 31: Thank you for that.
Speaker 14: I have a great morning, no worries.
Speaker 6: My pleasure. Thanks Arthur Bianco is in adelaide O Bianco.
Speaker 18: Mate, Ye're good.
Speaker 4: Just going back on the Jym story. Yeah, so you
Speaker 4: want to pay five dollars a week? Did you want
Speaker 4: a gym?
Speaker 6: Well no, I was just throwing out a random figure.
Speaker 6: I was basically saying, if it's really cheap, I join,
Speaker 6: if it's really expensive, So I didn't actually mean five bucks.
Speaker 6: I think that would be well.
Speaker 4: Under but yeah, yeah, you pay fifty bucks a week?
Speaker 6: I know no way, know couldn't afford it?
Speaker 4: Have I made the wages for the work training you Well, I.
Speaker 6: Don't know, but that's like saying, you know, they should
Speaker 6: change fifty bucks for a cup of coffee so they
Speaker 6: can pay wages.
Speaker 38: You know, that's bits out.
Speaker 16: Of the path.
Speaker 4: But now I'm not having a guy, you man, but
Speaker 4: you know that these guys are going to make wages too,
Speaker 4: like fifty bucks a week you work it out too,
Speaker 4: and half rand a year for membership and you can
Speaker 4: go any time, all day, all week, seven days a week.
Speaker 6: Well, so that's that's the other thing that because I've
Speaker 6: never actually had a gym membership, so I don't know
Speaker 6: how these things work. So I was looking at what
Speaker 6: would it cost me to walk in and go for
Speaker 6: a swim each day, not really need to interact with anyone,
Speaker 6: not have a physical you know, not have somebody there
Speaker 6: overlooking me doing a routine. I don't need a personal trainer,
Speaker 6: So I understand if I wanted that, of course I
Speaker 6: would have to pay more, and definitely should pay more.
Speaker 6: But if I just want to wander and have a swim,
Speaker 6: you know, And can you get GM memberships where you're
Speaker 6: entitled to go like twice a week only or is
Speaker 6: it access all hours? I just don't know.
Speaker 16: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm old, who I'm fifty six years old. I've never
Speaker 4: been to a gym where there's a swimming pool.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, well that probably answers that question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in Adelaide we don't have swim pools. Gyms just
Speaker 4: have weights in aerobic sist on that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, YadA YadA.
Speaker 4: Maybe you seek to get a member ship out of
Speaker 4: swimming pool mate.
Speaker 6: Well, actually that's a good point there. There is a
Speaker 6: local swimming pool not far from me, but that's a
Speaker 6: bit further than the local gym. But the gym I
Speaker 6: was looking at has got a swimming pool. So yeah,
Speaker 6: so that's what I was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Adelaide. I don't know any gym.
Speaker 4: I may be wrong, but I don't know any gym
Speaker 4: in Adelaide they've got a swimming pool sauna far Yeah,
Speaker 4: no swimming pool.
Speaker 6: No, fair enough. So if you don't mind me asking,
Speaker 6: So when you go to the gym, do you have
Speaker 6: like a personal trainer or do you go in classes
Speaker 6: or do you just wandering and pick up a few
Speaker 6: weights and do what do your own thing? Never been
Speaker 6: to a student, simon, Oh you haven't.
Speaker 4: My lad's got to gym and work out, YadA YadA,
Speaker 4: two or three times a week. Yeah, they've never said
Speaker 4: there's a swimming pool. But yeah, that's when I have
Speaker 4: a laugh. Can I do it? I went for ig
Speaker 4: strying grain export my.
Speaker 6: Doublin beautiful, excellent stuff. Get on your thanks, b A K.
Speaker 6: Take care of cheers Simon's and colic a Simon morning.
Speaker 10: Yeah good yeah, but summing if you go again, he's
Speaker 10: got the pool. I could go to where sorry, in
Speaker 10: any pool we'll have a swim well yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well yeah, if it's a local council pool or
Speaker 6: whatever then yes, or private business or something, but yeah,
Speaker 6: but no, just just talking to Roden. He said that
Speaker 6: swimming is good for you mentally and physically, and I
Speaker 6: thought I should be doing some sort of exercise more.
Speaker 6: I do go for a walk. But I thought, maybe
Speaker 6: it's worth booking into a gym and you know, signing
Speaker 6: up so I can go for a swim each day.
Speaker 10: Morgan wandering, jump in the pool.
Speaker 21: And go Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I don't know what that costs to go
Speaker 6: to the local pool either. It's it's all stuff I
Speaker 6: can check out. It was just random thought I had.
Speaker 10: That's all Yeah, Marke was from that Jim.
Speaker 6: Was he? I thought he was talking about like Jim
Speaker 6: from West Footscray or something like that.
Speaker 37: He laughed at their fish.
Speaker 6: We got a press release from from Jim Penman, the
Speaker 6: man behind Jim's mowing. I've got a press release sent
Speaker 6: to me yesterday. He's suggested that they that the government
Speaker 6: should create another government department that monitors expenses by other
Speaker 6: government departments to make sure that government is actually run efficiently.
Speaker 6: So have a government department that looks over the bills
Speaker 6: of other government departments and tells him where they should
Speaker 6: be cutting corners and monitoring stuff.
Speaker 10: And another revenue priz for.
Speaker 6: No no, well, it's just a way of like he
Speaker 6: said himself, Jim Penman in his press really said many
Speaker 6: many years ago when he had a government job, he
Speaker 6: took over a job from a guy who had a
Speaker 6: government job, and he said the guy's job took him
Speaker 6: about half a day each week. He could do all
Speaker 6: the working that he needed to do, so he'd turn
Speaker 6: up for work five days a week, but if he
Speaker 6: actually just sat down and went bang plowed through the work,
Speaker 6: it would take him half a day a week. But
Speaker 6: it was a government job. So it was a cushy
Speaker 6: job and you just turn up each day, do a
Speaker 6: little bit of work, chat with his friends, go out
Speaker 6: for lunch, and you know. So Jim's saying, you know,
Speaker 6: we've got a massive bill with the public service, and
Speaker 6: so he said we should we should be looking at
Speaker 6: these things and seeing where we can save money, create
Speaker 6: more work for those who are employed, or reduce the
Speaker 6: number of staff and make things more efficient.
Speaker 18: Could you do a.
Speaker 10: Play any any excess song that you could?
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I generally don't play music overnight unless we
Speaker 6: know if there's no calls and it's a quiet spot
Speaker 6: in the show, we can always know a song on.
Speaker 6: But yeah, we've only got forty five minutes left and
Speaker 6: we've still got a heap of call, so I don't
Speaker 6: think we're going to get to play one this morning
Speaker 6: for you.
Speaker 17: Though, well.
Speaker 10: Perfectly one in the ordf.
Speaker 6: We if we get a chance, we'll throw on some
Speaker 6: in excess for you, but we'll see. I go no promises,
Speaker 6: I'll have to throw that in. Good on your Simon,
Speaker 6: thanks for the call. A break back. In a second,
Speaker 6: Leanne has called from Minna Polia.
Speaker 33: Good morning, Simon and Jackson. A couple of things. Addi
Speaker 33: Kabrati mentioned Christopher Lee. There's a few facts for you.
Speaker 33: Christopher Lee has the same birthday as Vincent Rice.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, yep, and.
Speaker 15: Also uh else what else?
Speaker 33: There was another subject. Goodness, I'm just not long op enough.
Speaker 33: You can go to any pool I hated pool, municipal
Speaker 33: municipal pool and buy memberships to swim every day, and
Speaker 33: that might cost you more, I don't know, seventy bucks
Speaker 33: for a year.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, well that's a lot cheaping.
Speaker 33: The council run pools. They've got heated pools. That's your bishop.
Speaker 33: Don't go to a gym. I used to swim laps
Speaker 33: all the time, simon, and it was cheaper to do
Speaker 33: that unless you want to do the weights and the classes.
Speaker 33: Don't go to the gym with the pool.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 33: The nearest municipal municipality pool and they usually got a
Speaker 33: head of one down there, wouldn't they.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, yeah, there was a local pool in my area.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 18: Also, the gym would be a.
Speaker 6: Couple of minutes drive, or like a five minute drive.
Speaker 6: The pool would be a ten minute drive. So mind
Speaker 6: I always say, arguably I should just if I just
Speaker 6: jog to the gym and back and not actually go in.
Speaker 6: I get fit.
Speaker 33: Well, why don't you walk to the gym if it's
Speaker 33: only ten minutes away. Drive, that's not a bad walk.
Speaker 6: Yeah, then I won't need to go in, won't custome
Speaker 6: a scene.
Speaker 31: I know that feeling.
Speaker 33: Also news in the lead singer of Cool in the
Speaker 33: Game was killed in the car cross yesterday today or
Speaker 33: yesterday in the state Michael Stummler.
Speaker 6: Okay, I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 33: Yeah, it is said, Yeah, not.
Speaker 14: Not good at all.
Speaker 33: What else was it? Pool covered, the pool covered the
Speaker 33: desk and Christopher Lee. Yeah, I saw a clip on
Speaker 33: Facebook or Google the other day that Christopher Lee and
Speaker 33: Benson prized both brilliant in the horror the same birthday.
Speaker 29: I thought that was quite interesting.
Speaker 6: Yeah, given they're both very similar in terms of both actors,
Speaker 6: both horror movie stars, and quite similar joint date of
Speaker 6: birth makes it even better.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well famous genre to.
Speaker 33: Yeah, not about it.
Speaker 6: I think I'm going to go back to bed yesterday
Speaker 6: and we'll enjoy your day to day and I'll speak
Speaker 6: to your scene.
Speaker 22: Yeah, Ok, thanks, take care, cheers.
Speaker 6: Jim's in West Foots. Get a Jim, Good morning.
Speaker 27: Simon and Jackson. Yeah cool and the Gang A great band.
Speaker 27: I love them. They also had a few other hits
Speaker 27: like Ladies Night and yeah of course you know, celebration
Speaker 27: and another song that mentions to get you back up
Speaker 27: against the wall. But that's not what it was called,
Speaker 27: but that's what they used to say, a very popular one.
Speaker 27: I've forgot them a proper name of it. But you're
Speaker 27: talking about your first mobile phone earlier, Yeah, Simon, I've
Speaker 27: had many mobile phones over the years, mock ears, flip
Speaker 27: flip phones are all different brands. My current ones one
Speaker 27: Optus and one Telstra. I've always had two phones since
Speaker 27: I moved here, since I discovered the reception. My you know,
Speaker 27: which is the last one, has many dropouts sometimes but
Speaker 27: very unusual phone. My first mobile phone I bore, well,
Speaker 27: it's called the Moto phone. There was m O T
Speaker 27: O F O N and I actually when you said
Speaker 27: your first phone, I thought, I think I still got
Speaker 27: the the instructions, and that's I had to look in
Speaker 27: my other room.
Speaker 16: I found it.
Speaker 27: It's had a portable charger which I found in the
Speaker 27: realm tube by Moto roller and that was called the
Speaker 27: black and white phone, but had had speaker phone, alarm clock. Yes,
Speaker 27: the mass ring tones way back then, from years ago.
Speaker 27: I don't know if anyone's ever heard of her all that,
Speaker 27: because I I've got a doctor friend who sold it
Speaker 27: to mere thirty five dollars, brand new of the time,
Speaker 27: and I had all those features, and I found I've
Speaker 27: still got the charger for it that had a portable
Speaker 27: charger on one you can take anywhere, but you charge
Speaker 27: a black one, and I've still got the instructions. But
Speaker 27: the phone is not inside, so I must have it
Speaker 27: somewhere else.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, it'll be in the bottom bottom of another
Speaker 6: drawer somewhere, probably with the wrong charger with it. That's
Speaker 6: what usually ends up happening.
Speaker 27: I found the charger to this one is still in there,
Speaker 27: the portable one that you can charge and carry with
Speaker 27: you anywhere, and the instructions are in it, not the phone,
Speaker 27: so the phone must be somewhere else. I've had push buttons,
Speaker 27: I've had them, and the best one I ever had,
Speaker 27: I can't remember the brand. It was a flip phone.
Speaker 18: I can't remember.
Speaker 6: Probably Ericson. Ericson had really good little flip phones. I
Speaker 6: had a little blue one. It was a cute little thing.
Speaker 6: They're great. Good on your Jim. Thank you. I've got
Speaker 6: to squeeze another breaking before news, so appreciate the call.

Speaker 6: FASCINATING a childhood scarred by abuse and, violence years of battling,

Speaker 6: cookbook with another coming this. Year The Cold chisel frontman
Speaker 6: and solo singer has now turned his hand to writing a.
Speaker 6: Novel and you guessed. It it's a horror story inspired
Speaker 6: by an otherworldly incident he said happened when he was
Speaker 6: a child growing up In South. Australia it's a horror,
Speaker 6: story but it's based on my, Life barnes, says, animatedly
Speaker 6: sitting in a boardroom in his record Label's melbourne. Office
Speaker 6: my Sister, linda who passed away a few years ago
Speaker 6: when she was thirteen years. Old she was possessed AND

Speaker 6: Room she ran at the wall and smashed her head and,
Speaker 6: face blood and, everything he. Recalls she picked herself up
Speaker 6: and was running into the other, wall And, mum who's pretty,
Speaker 6: tough came running in and held her. Down And linda
Speaker 6: was pretty well frothing at the, mouth and she was
Speaker 6: talking weird stuff that didn't even sound like her. Voice
Speaker 6: doctors were, called spiritualists were, involved and all manner of
Speaker 6: spooky events. Ensued barnes says his sister was troubled till
Speaker 6: the day she, died but it gave him the germ
Speaker 6: of an idea for a story that mirrors his own
Speaker 6: life by starting out In scotland and then moving To Port.
Speaker 6: Adelaide so that's the start of that article About Jimmy
