Good morning, everybody. Good to be here for Australia overnight. Gee. 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.240 I haven't said those words in about four months, I 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:15.080 reckon it's been Tony's such a workhorse. He just doesn't 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.200 seem to take the time off. But fear not. Look 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.560 Tony McManus is alive and well. But he's well. When 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.680 I say well, he's just a little under the weather 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.640 and thought it best not to come in. His partner's 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.160 been a touch unwell for the last couple of days 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.680 and it's managed to get its grips on him and 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.240 so he's off this morning. He'll probably be back tomorrow, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:43.800 but if not, he'll be back certainly by Monday, so no, 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.360 have no fear about the health of your regular host. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.680 But for those who haven't heard me before, if you're 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.920 new to the Australia Overnight Program across three A, W, 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.600 five A and six PR and some other stations as 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:03.000 well named Simon Owens, I usually do weekends on three 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.800 AW weekend nights Saturday night as I do my show, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.600 The Simon Owen Show and Sunday nights. I do remember 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:15.000 when with Andrew McLaren. So I'm just stepping in for 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.280 this morning whilst Tony years off. It has been four months. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.280 Last one I did was January fifteen, when Tony was 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.000 just about to come back. Excuse me, Oh, I'm off 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.960 to a good start, when Tony was about to come 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.280 back from his Christmas holidays. Jay is here this morning. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.880 Morning Jay, Good morning, Simon. Nice to have you back 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.920 with this a little while. Yeah, thank you, good to 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.959 be here. So as would that have been the last 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.280 time we worked together? Would have been did you work 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:43.960 through Christmas? Yes? 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.320 On and off through Christmas? Yeah, it would have been 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.960 back in January. So yeah, been this year? Has this flown, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:49.360 hasn't it? 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.680 I'm still not used to writing when I fill out 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.919 a date on something, and I've had a lot of 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.079 paperwork I've had to fill in in the last three weeks, 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.040 and every time I go to write the date, I 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:04.280 go twenty two five. Yeah, So here we are in May, 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.200 and I still struggle with the fact that it's not 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.480 twenty twenty four anymore. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.320 Yes, And I think the weather is a bit of 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.919 a big factor in that, because we we obviously are 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.680 very cold at this time of the year. Yeah, but 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.000 we've had those mild days and we think, well, well, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.919 we're still a bit of autumn, you know, still mild days. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:19.280 Yeah. 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.839 I think that's really throwing the brain out as well. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.800 It has. Yeah, that and old age. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.079 Yes, well, I was trying to actually birthday next week? 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.280 Oh is there to avoid that one? Which is that 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.799 fifty one for fifty fifty one? Yeah, you're just you're 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.840 just a pump Wait wait till you get to fifty 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:36.520 three like me. 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.720 Oh, you wouldn't tell, You wouldn't be able to tell. 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.400 Thank you. That's because that's because I don't have much 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.800 in the way of gray hair. That's exactly right. Nothing. 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.880 How have you been, Have you been well? Yeah? Good? Thanks? 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.800 You all going well? Keeping out of trouble as best 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.480 I can. So paid off my last car for speeding fine. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:57.480 That's that's all good. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.920 Okay, So I was only it was four six kilometers. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.120 Come on, yeah in a twenty zone. Yeah, that's right. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.640 In a forty zone. Forty z own forty six It 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:08.640 is rough. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.920 I mean, you know people were walking past me. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:17.960 People on scooters, Uber eats delivery people exactly, and cyclists. Yeah, 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:19.880 but I paid that one. That's out of the way now. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.760 But yeah, that's about it. I got a speeding fine. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.640 I got my first speeding fine, and I reckon, It's 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.320 been ten years since I've had a speeding fine. That's 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.560 the joy of driving a Yaris is that you don't 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.279 really get speeding fines because you know, you've got a 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.000 pedal really hard to get to a speed where you're 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.400 breaking the limit. But now that I've got so Philip Brady, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.480 I have Philip Brady's car now.

So it's a 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.280 very You're get in that car you started and it 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.680 just goes and all you do is point it in 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.839 the direction you want it to go. You don't actually 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:01.719 to drive, you just point it where you need it 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.960 to go, and so old it would know the roads 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.520 around it does. Yeah, yeah, because's twenty two years old. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.560 Or say, but I was picked in a I was 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.360 in forty nine and a forty zone and it was 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.919 it was that homes Glenn for Victorian listeners will know 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.080 Homes Glenn Tafe is the hot spot for speeding fines 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.440 because it's a forty zone twenty four hours a day 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.320 and it's a major road and you're coming down a 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.640 hill before you get to it, so your roll in 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.800 there naturally doing sixty. Well that's my excuse. Yeah, the 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.640 car rolls quickly, Yeah, exactly.

It might not be to 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.480 your taste. But we do quizzers with people all the time. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.200 I don't see why an audience member can't quiz us 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.120 if we've got time to squeeze a calling. I thought 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.040 I found that interesting to try and come up with 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:48.200 all those car brands, but realize it's not to your taste. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.840 Thank you for the feedback, but no, I'm happy to 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.560 run with it if Vern wishes to do so. Let's 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.840 keep your calls going. Let's get to a Jim in 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.160 Westwoods Gray, Hi, Jim. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.200 Morning, Simon and j Mos to hear you or overnightes again. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.760 If Tony is listening in bed. All the best to 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:14.400 Tony if he's up listening. Also, I heard Jay saying 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:16.560 it's his fifty first birthday. 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:17.560 Next week next week. 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.280 Yes, I'll say an early happy birthday, just in case 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.600 I don't get to say it next week, but hopefully 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.720 i'll get to ring him next week. Also a quick 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.840 hello to joan In and Deva Hills and Nathan in Gippsland. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:37.840 And it Lenn Glenn, who's a regular caller from Melton. 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.160 I'm not sure, but I think he I know he 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.960 worked as an engineer in the airport, but the other 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.560 night unless I'll start to sleep. And I was hearing things. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.720 I thought I heard him say he worked at fourth Weeks, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.040 because if he worked at Bourth Weeks, I might know 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.040 Lend because I've worked the Bourth Weeks for three years, 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:58.000 many years ago. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.080 So what was bour Weeks? I've not heard that name before. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.280 Both Wicks was the meat works, and years ago many 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:10.360 meat works on some of our road, very far down 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.920 some of our road. There's many, many of them together. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.720 Hardly any of them exists now, Simon. That's why you 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.360 probably haven't heard of it. That was in the lay seven, yes, 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:26.080 up to the early eighties. I think remember once, Remember 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.480 once I said to you in Cape Bush's song Wuthering Heights, 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.720 she never mentioned once. A lot of people seen that 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.200 were the first time with the other title, would think 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:41.240 it's called Kathy that song without seeing the name advertised 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:45.280 on the bottom, because she she mostly sings I'm Kathy 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.000 in it. Not Wuthering Heights is not mentioned once. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.160 But I thought it was. I thought she does say 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.760 Weathering Heights in the song? Does she not say Weathering Heights? 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.240 I have never heard it once, and I have video 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.720 taped it. I've never heard that word mentioned once. Maybe 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.960 I'm wrong and you can have a look. But also 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.280 something else has been bothering me. You know, I heard 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.880 you with Sandy Kay talking about Cas Stevens, who's used 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:18.760 the Islam now and mentioning something clever about being cat. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:24.160 But on Cas Stephens song, he has two songs. One 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.960 is called Father and Son. One is called So if 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.160 you have a chance, have a listened to something which 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.760 has been bothering me for years. I'm father and Son. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.280 He mentions he's supposed to be talking to his son. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:45.240 He says, yeah, you're so young, that's your fault. I 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.600 think you're supposed to sing you're so young, that's not 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.040 your fault and everything. And I think he just left 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.920 her thinking people wouldn't notice that. I think when he's 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:01.119 talking to someone so young saying that that's your fault, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.920 I really think it was supposed to be you're so young, that's. 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.680 Not your fault. Yeah, yeah, because you can't blame someone 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:08.360 for being young. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:08.720 Yeah. 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.680 I just googled the lyrics for Wuthering Heights because I 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.760 was sure that she sings the word wuthering, wathering, wathering heights, 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.800 and then into the chorus, Heathcliff blah blah blah. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:19.320 And so. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.880 Excuse me. So I just looked it up and yes, 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.399 in the third verse, bad dreams in the night, they 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.120 told me I was going to lose the fight. Leave 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.800 behind my wothering wuthering wathering heights, Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Kathy. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.360 So yeah, she does actually sing wothering heights in there. 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.480 Okay, I never heard it every time. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.680 Well, I always say about I always say about Kate 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.240 Kate Bush, that it is hard to hear the lyrics 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.879 because she sings in such an impossibly high range. I 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.320 think only bat's can really understand what she's saying. 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.200 Yeah, she does, but listen to Cas Stevens, father and 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.200 some I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be that's not 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:05.480 your fault, but not that that's your fault on father. 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.399 And some no worries. All right, well we'll see if 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.000 we can dig that out a little later. We've got 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.479 a board for the call, so we won't play it now, 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.720 but if we get time later, we'll play it. Never listen, 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.120 good on your Jim. Always good to chat to you, mate, 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:22.960 and chat again soon. Peter's in Port Melbourne.

Because 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.640 I've just backtracking a bit over the last five years. 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:12.000 I've lost twenty two people and twelve people have passed 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:13.920 away in the last two and forty years and I 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:15.920 only feld that recent. And people say, when you get 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:19.639 older I'm now sixty, people will more often pass away 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.320 and there'll be more funerals year by year as you 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.800 get older, because people do get older. And so I'd 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:30.119 like to ask a soundingboard and Ford, it's quite okay 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.639 to have that target audience of music and themes on 0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:36.320 the family orientate Bron, not those important, high profile daytime 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.879 runs of the fifty sixties and seventies, But how do 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:41.600 you cater for people that are at the age of 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:43.520 forty to way age of sixty that come through the 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.520 eighties and nineties and generations to come. If you maintain 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:50.879 that target audience of music and people around the fifties, 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.119 sixties and seventies, where will you be ratns wise? And 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.760 do you do you flow on and encourage that generation 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:02.440 that target, but also uncover the next generation of music 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.480 and people and continue to have high rates and be 0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:08.760 basically number one for decades to come. You know, it's 0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.240 just a question that I can't answer myself. 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.280 Well, look, I guess the key to talk radio is 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:19.280 the evolution of it, in that as older hosts leave 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:24.760 and newer hosts land the gigs, then naturally the you know, 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.040 they will attract audiences closer to their own age. I 0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.720 worked with Bruce and Phil for all those years, and 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.440 they're now both sadly gone, and they were enormously talented. 0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.040 But the fact is that a lot of the listeners 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.040 who listened to Bruce and Phil back when I joined 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:43.239 in the in the mid nineties, you know, a lot 0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:46.800 of those audience members have now passed on, but there 0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.040 are now I get messages from people who were my 0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:53.080 age who listened to myself and other people on the station, 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:57.520 so it's sort of it's a replenishing thing. I've been 0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:00.119 with three a W as part of the network for 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:04.040 thirty years, and the station is rating just as well 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.399 now as it ever has, and in some instance is 0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:12.199 actually better than it has previously. So I do hear 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:14.520 a lot of people saying, oh, your audience is all 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.920 old and I'll die off and then you'll be in trouble. Well, 0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.720 it's been thirty years I've been here so far, and 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.320 the audience is as big as it ever has been. 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:27.080 So I think if we get the mix right then 0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:28.640 it will just continue. 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:33.440 So just before months. But it's like Channel with the 0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:37.080 Golden new had a good problem for decades. I could 0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:40.520 promote everything about that Golden Era, you know, the tiny barbers, 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.000 Bert Paddy Newton's, but I'm not saying not to entertain it. Now. 0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:47.680 A lot of them have sadly passed on. You know, 0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:51.880 there's still young Patricia An still with us in some capacity. Yes, 0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.480 you sort of encourage that, and it's historical that you 0:25:56.560 --> 0:26:00.480 can't really right history about the Golden Iro. But people 0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.359 of an age now that might be in their thirty 0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.920 or forty or so. So I've heard a bit about it, 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:08.560 but I don't relate because I'm not familiar with it. 0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.919 Then it comes not a bad problem negative. I mean, 0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:15.720 it just means that you probably can't incorporate it as 0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:18.760 just a target audience of the gold because it's going 0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:20.880 to fish myself when I vote for the first time 0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:24.840 this year in the Gold Logan. I voted a lower 0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:27.480 end of the matia than anything else, I guess because 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:29.960 I don't want the platforms and you know, all those things. 0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:34.840 But some people win the Gold logan and I have 0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.639 no idea who they are, what they do on TV, 0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:43.200 or never heard of them before. So that's my problem, 0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.800 not floting for the chance to watching other shows another TV. 0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:47.879 So but could that be a bit of frad W 0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.399 trying to you don't want to sell off rights to 0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:53.280 other TV, so you have people watching Channel seven when 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.399 you want one Channel nine or you know, fred W. 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.040 But we'd like this sort of case. We know when 0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.760 you have those average on ladies nine years all into 0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:04.280 it as one media. You're not Channel seven or Channel 0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:07.280 nine or you're all sort of one. But we don't 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:11.040 get to feel that on for because if also so, 0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:13.679 I would only buy one day IV plus right now, 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:15.359 would I have? And only have fre W on it? 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:18.480 So I only can sort of field the product in 0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:22.680 listening and calls with what happens within fred W a 0:27:22.720 --> 0:27:23.760 little bit outside it. 0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:29.879 Yeah, Look thanks for the call, Chris. Look the television, 0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:34.600 Look all the all the traditional media are facing problems 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:39.000 now with well basically with revenue, because you've got your 0:27:39.160 --> 0:27:42.359 facebooks and Instagrams and you know those social media platforms 0:27:42.760 --> 0:27:44.879 that have now taken away a great deal of the 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:48.439 advertising revenue that used to go into TV and radio 0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:51.320 and the like. So and it's so it's not just 0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:55.720 three a W and the nine Radio network suffering. Arn 0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.760 who run Kiss and Gold, and you know those sorts 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:04.119 of Stuf and Ostereo who run the Two Day Network 0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.399 or the Hit Network as it's called now, and Triple M. 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.480 They're all suffering from lower revenue, and so there's always 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:15.640 tightening of belts and so unfortunately changes have to happen. 0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:19.000 And it's the same in TV land as well. There's 0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:22.160 been the budgets certainly aren't what they once were. Gone 0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.600 are the days of having a kerry packet of fund 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.160 everything and just throw money left right in the center. 0:28:28.440 --> 0:28:33.200 So yeah, consolidation is a thing that has happened, and yeah, 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.119 we'll just write it out and see if we all survive. 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:39.400 But whilst people are spending their money on Facebook ads 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.960 and instead of traditional media ads, well it's going to 0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:46.320 make an impact, sadly. And I think radio has been 0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:50.080 pretty lucky audience growth is actually happening in radio. There 0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.960 are more people listening to radio now than there ever were, 0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.920 and that surprises me because when you've got so many 0:28:56.000 --> 0:29:00.000 other options now with podcasts, Spotify, why would you list 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:01.680 and to an FM station when you can listen to 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:05.120 your own playlist on Spotify. So I'm surprised that the 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.040 FM stations are holding up as well as they are. 0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:09.600 But yeah, look it's a fascinating discussion. Thank you, Chris. 0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.120 I'm going to keep moving now. Adrian's called him from 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.960 nearmil Jura today.

We need to get off 0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.560 the top of our heads. And this is the topic. 0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:30.200 Your listeners will know this great British detective shows on 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:35.840 television in the nineteen seventies, eighties and nineteen nineties. It's 0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:41.320 got to be a British show that was fromy aired 0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:46.480 either through the seventies, eighties or nineties. There is a 0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.160 lot of them apparently. Now if I can get in 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:55.400 there on Saturday night and bring in as many as 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.240 I can, I might win a prize. 0:30:57.400 --> 0:30:59.400 All right, Well I reckon you grab a pin on 0:30:59.480 --> 0:31:03.360 paper eight and people will text or ring so they 0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:05.280 can ring one double three six nine three or one 0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:07.880 double three eight eighty two.

They could have been 0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:24.600 popular in the seventies. And I assume people here in 0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.000 Australia watched a lot of TV and you were just 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.760 talking about all the TV shows of years gone by. 0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:34.000 I'll tell you why we don't get all of these people, 0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:38.160 because now on the television simon, you had noticed all 0:31:38.200 --> 0:31:43.480 the main mainstream television networks has just got reality shows. Yeah, 0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:45.800 one of the things they used to. It's all part 0:31:45.880 --> 0:31:49.080 of the reality. They make the most money, the reality show. 0:31:49.720 --> 0:31:52.200 I I don't know why you grew up. 0:31:52.720 --> 0:31:56.520 We were watching variety shows. We were watching quiz shows. 0:31:56.600 --> 0:32:01.560 So of a century temptation it was our Philip was 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:05.000 on TV down Lane was on all those wonderful shows. 0:32:05.440 --> 0:32:08.320 So it's all been replaced by reality shows. But I 0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:14.400 want to give you some remembering all we're remembering from seventies, 0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.600 eighties and nineties, your listeners, I'm sure we will remember some. 0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:22.240 It has to be British witches detective shows in the 0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:26.840 seventies or eighties or nineties. I'll probably fall asleep in 0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:30.040 the next ninety minutes or half of three calls an 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:31.840 hour and hour.

So yeah, that'll be an easy 0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.520 way to listen back. So we'll see how we go. 0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:57.480 Good on you, Adrian.

I enjoy listening to him. 0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:11.080 Why do we always have to have a nasty, mean 0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:13.960 person as in the case of the person who was 0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:16.959 rubbishing him. Thank you, Janet Lovely to have your support 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:20.440 there for Verne. Yeah. Look, everything we do on this 0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:23.080 show and on this network, some people will love it 0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:24.920 and some people will hate it. And that's the joy 0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:26.800 of it all. And I always say, if we could 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:30.080 please everybody by doing the absolute perfect show, we wouldn't 0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.000 be here on Middawn, we'd be on we'd be in 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:36.120 the mainstream time slots earning more money than Kyle Sandy 0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:39.320 Lands if we could produce the perfect show. So you 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.400 can't please everyone, so don't try. Just to just do 0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:44.680 what we do and hopefully people enjoy it, but thank 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:46.959 you for that text. I've got more to read out, 0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:48.600 but we've got people who've been hanging on, so we'll 0:33:48.640 --> 0:33:51.360 get to them first.

Justin's in Frankston. 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:36.840 Hi, Justin, good Simon, long time no here, how have 0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:41.000 you been? Yeah, Ben all right, just got that's some 0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:45.040 interesting facts here to tell you. So I've got this 0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:51.360 world Atlas and the top broadband economies since two thousand 0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:55.480 and eight have got Australia listed as number eighteen in 0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:55.959 the world. 0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:00.880 When you say broadband economies, what do you mean, like 0:36:01.040 --> 0:36:04.239 as in actual internet connections or is that just a term? 0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:04.719 I don't know. 0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:08.880 Yeah, no, that's internet. So we're rare to number eighteenth 0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:09.680 in the world. 0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:12.800 I thought we'd be further down than that, because frankly, 0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.040 our internet's pretty lousy in Australia. 0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:20.759 Yeah, so it goes Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, 0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:28.239 South Korea, Finland, Luxembourg, and Canada. That's your top ten, right, yeah, 0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:33.480 and then France, UK, Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong, China, you 0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:36.760 were say, Macau, China, and then Australia is eighteenth. 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:37.239 Yeah. 0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:39.160 No, well I would have thought we would have been 0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:41.560 further down. And I don't mean that as a stab 0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:45.399 at the NBN or anything. I just simply think because 0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:48.040 of the massive land that we need to cover for 0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:53.000 internet services such a small population, it would be harder 0:36:53.160 --> 0:36:58.920 to have to fund having high quality, high speed internet exactly. 0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.440 And I've just got one clue because question for what 0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:05.920 year was the sput Neck launched? 0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:12.040 Sputneck. Okay, I'm going to stab in the dark. I'm 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:15.160 going to I'm going to randomly say nineteen seventy four. 0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:21.160 I have no idea it was launched in nineteen fifty seven. 0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.720 Fifty seven, okay, so I was only nineteen years. 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:27.200 Out, yeah, yeah, yeah, but no. 0:37:27.440 --> 0:37:29.919 Apart from that, I'm going good I'm actually, as you said, 0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:32.800 I'm in Frankston. I'm no longer in Melting anymore. No 0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:35.520 of a change of scenery, you know. 0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.239 Yeah, that's fair enough. But what caused the move? Just 0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:40.040 you just wanted to change or. 0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:41.759 No? 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:46.440 Because well I actually live with disability in that and 0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:53.600 my agency that I was before had terminated, so I 0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:55.640 was a diner company. 0:37:56.480 --> 0:37:58.600 Right, okay, And so they've moved you. 0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:01.800 How was how Bankston? 0:38:02.640 --> 0:38:04.600 How was the move nice and easy or was it 0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:05.479 a lot of hard work? 0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:09.839 It was very sudden. I had to move within one day. 0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:12.160 Oh craky, okay, that is tough. 0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.680 Yeah, but all in oil, it was okay. It took 0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:17.640 me two hours to. 0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:18.239 Get up here. 0:38:18.920 --> 0:38:21.400 Okay. Yeah, and you're settled in nicely. How long have 0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:21.920 you been there? 0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:25.440 Well, tomorrow makes three weeks. 0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:27.719 Yeah, and you're all settled in okay. 0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:32.480 Oh definitely. And the other thing too, was I'm not 0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.760 too happy with the Queensland state of origin. 0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:39.839 Oh okay, New South Wales one last night? Did they 0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:41.200 I haven't paid it any attention. 0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:43.600 Yeah, eighteen points to six. 0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:49.920 Oh okay, yeah exactly. All right. Well, now justin we're 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.960 coming out. We've got to squeeze another break in before news. 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:53.759 So good to hear your voice. Thanks for calling in 0:38:54.320 --> 0:38:57.920 and glad the move went smoothly. Justin now in Frankston, 0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:03.680 back in a moment, two to eleven in Perth, twenty 0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:07.480 eight after midnight in Adelaide, and two minutes to one 0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:12.160 in Melbourne. Hi Simon, last collar brought back a memory 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:14.440 for me. I worked for a short time for Borthwick's 0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:17.560 Meat Wholesalers in their premises in Light Square in the 0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:23.240 Adelaide CBD, doing fairly basic clerical duties weighing and hanging 0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:27.160 lamb carcasses in the cold room and associated paperwork and invoicing. 0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:29.520 It was such a mundane job with good people there. 0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:31.680 I was only there for nine months during the early 0:39:31.760 --> 0:39:34.360 seventies when I heard they were soon leaving Adelaide to 0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:37.879 move back to their main office in Queensland. So there 0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:41.040 you go, Thank you, Agent two ninety five. That's lovely 0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:45.719 another memory of Bothwick's Meat Wholesalers. Get I mate to 0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:48.640 answer that fellow's question. It's the joys of evolution. People 0:39:48.760 --> 0:39:52.480 move on, music changes and even telling the time nobody 0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:55.520 rang up the sundial or that's a great line. The 0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:57.720 most important thing in life is to live in the moment, 0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:01.160 says Ben from Mayrie Good on your Ben after the 0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:02.719 news more of your calls. 0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:11.200 His Australia Overnight with Simon Owen's. 0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:19.279 Hello, they're welcome back. I've just changed headphones to try 0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:24.480 something and it is shocking. I'm just hearing myself all distorted. 0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:28.040 It's terrible and to say something to. 0:40:28.120 --> 0:40:30.000 Me, J so I can I'm not coming through in 0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:32.760 a different language, am I English? 0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.360 I can barely hear you. So I've got to unplug 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:38.080 things a little bit and change that back because that's 0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:38.800 just woeful. 0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:42.360 There is. 0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:47.640 So much for that little experiment. I'll try the other 0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:51.400 ones in the next break. Hello, welcome back to our 0:40:51.520 --> 0:40:56.120 number two of Australia Overnight. Oh that was hideous. And 0:40:56.239 --> 0:41:00.839 these are good little a kg headphone that I've had, 0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:03.200 but they've been sitting in my draw unused for about 0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:08.239 four years, so maybe something's died in them. Anyway, there 0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:11.200 goes that stupid idea. One double three six nine three. 0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:13.320 We've got callers hanging on from the last hour. Anything 0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:14.880 you want to chat about, you more than welcome to 0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:17.759 give us a call. Let's get straight to your calls. 0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.279 After a couple of quick text messages just while we 0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:26.680 build up delay, which we are of course obligated to do. Sorry, Simeon, 0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:28.800 in my text was a bit too long. Memories of 0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:33.120 Borthwick's was from Stephen Inarberfoyle Park in Adelaide, So thank 0:41:33.160 --> 0:41:36.840 you Stephen. Yes, the text was so long it scrolled 0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.360 off the bottom of my screen and I couldn't actually 0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:45.480 read it, So thank you for that. Burgerrak, The Professionals, Heartbeat. 0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:53.960 These are all English detective series to add to that list. Burgerrak, 0:41:54.040 --> 0:42:00.520 The Professionals, Heartbeat, The Saint, The Sweeney Cracker, Inspect Dimorse, 0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:05.120 Midsummer Murders, says Rob, Thank you Rob, They're fantastic. That's 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:09.360 very kind. Maggie also writes great to hear you again, Simon. 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:13.440 I realized that your station is affiliated with the nine network. However, 0:42:13.560 --> 0:42:17.440 how flexible are you in referencing those other non affiliated 0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:20.479 shows we have? Thank you, Maggie. It's a good question 0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:23.800 because people do talk about the you know, the ninerification 0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.680 of our network and how it's changed ever since nine 0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:32.920 took over. Nine don't exercise any influence, any real influence 0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:37.560 over any of the hosts of shows on this network. 0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:41.000 Not once of management ever given me any direction as 0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:44.000 to what I can and can't say on air. They 0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:47.239 don't even push, as it were, that we should use 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:50.719 nine related people instead of you know, seven related people 0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:55.480 or people from the ABC. They know there is I 0:42:55.520 --> 0:42:59.840 guess an implied pressure that some hosts might feel is, 0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.120 but it's never as I say, I've never been told 0:43:04.160 --> 0:43:07.000 anything by management. But I do know that some producers, 0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:09.800 you know, young producers, they don't want to annoy the bosses, 0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:13.640 so they probably think, oh, we should probably use nine 0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:16.239 people if we're getting a journalist on, but we have 0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:20.520 we have employees here. So our radio network is owned 0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:24.120 by nine for the moment, because there are rumors of 0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:27.279 a sale, so we're owned by nine at the moment. 0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:32.359 So is the formerly the Fairfax newspapers are also now 0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:35.000 owned by Channel nine as well. But here at three 0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:38.200 AW for example, we've got journalists from the Herald Sun 0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:43.280 appear on all of our programs, and we've got people 0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:47.160 who appear on Channel seven who appear on our programs 0:43:47.200 --> 0:43:51.320 as well, So there's no We're actually free to do 0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:55.479 whatever because what the priority is as a radio station, 0:43:55.640 --> 0:43:58.239 So whether it's six PR five double A who aren't 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:01.000 actually part of the nine network, but they take the programs, 0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:04.520 whether at six PR, four BC, two GB or three 0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:08.560 A W Our priority is to do the best programming 0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:13.400 we can do for our stations, our network, So we 0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:15.879 will do whatever we can do to do the right 0:44:15.920 --> 0:44:19.120 thing by our audience, and if that involves using people 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:22.400 from seven or the ABC or ten or you know, 0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:25.920 Foxtel or whatever, then we'll do it because that's the 0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:29.920 best content we can do. So we're not bound to 0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:34.120 run things. No one's ringing up nine management and saying 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:37.560 can we have permission to use this person's And it's 0:44:37.600 --> 0:44:40.759 the same. You know, there's a very big editorial independence 0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:44.080 in the newspaper as well, where they say, you know, 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:46.839 if they think that something's really crappy on Channel nine, 0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:50.239 they're free to write about it. We're quite free to 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.320 criticize nine as well. On here. If there's a television 0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:55.440 show we don't like, we're free to say what we like. 0:44:55.880 --> 0:44:58.120 So thank you, Maggie. It's a good question, and I 0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:02.000 hope that answer is satisf actual. Nathan's called from Dallaston. 0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:05.600 Good I Nathan Simon, how are you yeah here? 0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:06.600 Yeah, it's been a while. 0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:11.840 Yeah, so you were talking about Phil Phil Brady and 0:45:11.920 --> 0:45:15.160 all that.

And you know, 0:50:06.239 --> 0:50:10.719 out of a bit of useless trivia for you, out 0:50:10.719 --> 0:50:12.880 of the Jackson sisters, there's one of them that I 0:50:13.000 --> 0:50:15.600 never mentioned, right, and you know where she feed in 0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:22.000 in back in nineteen ninety four, no Playboy magazine. 0:50:22.239 --> 0:50:26.239 Oh did she must have missed that Janet Jackson. 0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:29.480 Janet Jackson mate in nineteen ninety four.

I was wondering 0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:41.320 why there's no immediate Now I know why. You know, 0:52:41.840 --> 0:52:45.000 So if anyone's traumatized by seeing accidents and that, please 0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:48.080 go get some counseling because it can play on your 0:52:48.120 --> 0:52:52.880 mind if you're not mentally capable of dealing with it. 0:52:53.239 --> 0:52:56.120 You know, I don't mean in the sense that people 0:52:56.200 --> 0:52:59.120 aren't mentally incas in. 0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:03.080 To do so I know at all. 0:53:03.280 --> 0:53:05.920 Yeah, yeah, because you just never you never know what 0:53:06.160 --> 0:53:09.680 is going to trigger someone. For some people it's fine, 0:53:10.800 --> 0:53:14.440 and for others. Something that's fine for some people is 0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:19.200 very triggering for others, and vice versa. So you just 0:53:19.320 --> 0:53:21.040 you just never know. So if you if you do 0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:24.640 come across anything like that, and and and you are 0:53:24.840 --> 0:53:28.640 uneasy and uncomfortable and you know you have nightmares or 0:53:28.760 --> 0:53:32.000 just can't sleep or whatever, if it's constantly on your mind, yeah, 0:53:32.120 --> 0:53:34.600 counseling is really good. I went, I went and saw 0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:38.680 a psychiatrist psychologist, I should say. Once. I had some 0:53:38.800 --> 0:53:42.239 stuff going on in my life and most of the 0:53:42.280 --> 0:53:45.840 time I'm just a very easy, you know, whatever, whatever 0:53:45.840 --> 0:53:47.560 happens in life happens, and you just roll with the 0:53:47.600 --> 0:53:51.360 punchers type person. And I actually I went through a 0:53:51.560 --> 0:53:55.040 difficult time quite a few years ago now and I 0:53:55.200 --> 0:53:57.200 ended up going to see a psychologist. Best thing I 0:53:57.239 --> 0:54:00.799 could ever do. And I was one of those people 0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:03.239 who said, I don't really need I don't need that, 0:54:03.360 --> 0:54:05.560 that's just not for me. And I went and did it, 0:54:05.719 --> 0:54:08.160 and it was it was really good. It really really 0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:13.279 helped me. So yeah, strongly advised that people do if 0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:16.400 there's something that's just that you just can't let go 0:54:16.520 --> 0:54:19.200 of and you're really struggling with go see your psychologists. 0:54:20.200 --> 0:54:26.040 Yep, Simon, you spot on there because even if it 0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:29.560 travels you for a couple of nights.

I wasn't totally stressed about it, but 0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:46.560 she was on my mind for two weeks and that 0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:49.879 was normal as a rescue operator because she was only 0:54:50.000 --> 0:54:55.400 debone beautiful looking girl.

Anything 0:56:44.320 --> 0:56:47.040 you want to chat about, but just on you know 0:56:47.120 --> 0:56:49.239 what Leanne said there about you know, and what I've 0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:52.680 just said about going to see a shrink. There a 0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:54.920 lot of people, and I used to be like that, 0:56:55.080 --> 0:56:58.000 would would say, no, it's it's a sign of weakness. 0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:01.320 It's a sign of strength if you don't go. You know, 0:57:01.480 --> 0:57:04.280 I'm tough. I can survive without going to sea a shrink. 0:57:04.800 --> 0:57:09.520 It's not strength to not go. I think you're displaying 0:57:09.560 --> 0:57:13.800 strength if you swallow what I would call foolish pride 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:17.480 and actually admit, you know what, there's something that's on 0:57:17.560 --> 0:57:19.240 my mind and I'd like it to not be on 0:57:19.320 --> 0:57:22.000 my mind so much, so just go and talk to someone. 0:57:22.080 --> 0:57:24.520 I mean, that's what those people do. And in the 0:57:24.560 --> 0:57:28.600 instance I went to I won't name the psychologist because 0:57:28.760 --> 0:57:32.120 I don't know if she would appreciate me giving her name. 0:57:32.200 --> 0:57:35.320 But she didn't actually do a great deal of talking, 0:57:35.760 --> 0:57:38.360 but me talking to her and telling her everything that 0:57:38.520 --> 0:57:42.200 was on my mind helped me to deal with all 0:57:42.280 --> 0:57:44.840 the crap that was going on in my head. So 0:57:45.120 --> 0:57:48.280 it wasn't it's not like you go there and they say, oh, yes, 0:57:48.480 --> 0:57:51.080 do this, do that and you'll be fine. It's not 0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:54.800 actually about that. It's for me. It was just really 0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:58.080 cathartic to be able to talk to a complete stranger 0:57:58.600 --> 0:58:04.360 about the issues I was dealing with and She was sympathetic, 0:58:04.480 --> 0:58:07.600 and she asked me how I felt about these things, 0:58:07.680 --> 0:58:12.480 and I felt like a clarity when I was telling her, 0:58:13.360 --> 0:58:17.120 because hearing myself saying all this stuff just really helped me. 0:58:17.880 --> 0:58:20.960 And that's one thing that I'm really proud of there, 0:58:21.120 --> 0:58:24.480 is that I actually admitted that I wasn't coping and 0:58:25.160 --> 0:58:28.520 went to seek help. And I don't think that was 0:58:28.600 --> 0:58:30.520 a moment of weakness for me. I think that was 0:58:30.960 --> 0:58:34.440 the strongest moment I've had, so highly recommend it if 0:58:34.480 --> 0:58:39.120 you're struggling people. Anyway, we'll break back with more stuff. Well, 0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:41.120 we should throw in a topic Jay after the break. 0:58:41.160 --> 0:58:42.640 We'll see how we go with that to back in 0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:45.440 a sec. Thank you, doctor John for the text. I 0:58:45.600 --> 0:58:49.680 deserve a slap hard across the face because I made 0:58:49.720 --> 0:58:54.040 a mistake. I mentioned Danny Elfman and said that he 0:58:54.120 --> 0:58:57.640 did the soundtracks for Weird Science, Beetlejuice, Men in Black 0:58:57.760 --> 0:59:01.280 and all of that. He didn't do the soundtrack for 0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:05.040 Weird Science. You are right, doctor John. Ira Newborn did 0:59:05.280 --> 0:59:09.120 the soundtrack for Weird Science. Danny Elfman with Oingo Boingo 0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:13.800 had a song called Weird Science. That's my mistake. That's 0:59:13.840 --> 0:59:16.000 on me and you are absolutely spot on. Thank you 0:59:16.080 --> 0:59:18.280 for the correction, because I hate it when I'm wrong, 0:59:18.400 --> 0:59:25.160 which frankly happens too often. Simon's in colic. I Simon, yeah, 0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:25.600 I'm good. 0:59:26.880 --> 0:59:27.320 I mean. 0:59:30.400 --> 0:59:37.520 Car Z was a was it yep? 0:59:38.520 --> 0:59:38.720 Yeah? 0:59:39.760 --> 0:59:48.480 Oh man, yeah, and I know I am oh, yeah, 0:59:48.480 --> 0:59:50.920 I saw. I have an experience when I was at 0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:58.240 my boy at school, but a little boy just start school. Yeah, 0:59:58.480 --> 1:00:03.960 and then started, yeah, I'm go ahead. Good to see 1:00:04.160 --> 1:00:07.800 that he's got his sister go off the bus. I 1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:10.440 was thinking, went around the back of the bus. He 1:00:10.640 --> 1:00:13.240 jumped off the bus and went around the front the 1:00:13.320 --> 1:00:17.320 bus wanted to off and when are we? Oh cracky 1:00:18.680 --> 1:00:22.960 and yeah and yeah I'll go out. That was the 1:00:23.400 --> 1:00:28.200 non at school and mom and dad at home. Yeah, 1:00:29.560 --> 1:00:33.600 I just thought, yeah, I don't have that lady was 1:00:33.640 --> 1:00:37.080 talking about that, and we had that man and then 1:00:37.200 --> 1:00:38.840 then that boy from my boat. 1:00:40.200 --> 1:00:43.560 Sorry, Simon, it's really it's a quite a muffled phone 1:00:43.600 --> 1:00:45.800 line this morning, so I'm having a bit of trouble. 1:00:45.560 --> 1:00:49.200 Hearing, but just probably in my voice to someone. 1:00:49.080 --> 1:00:51.400 Yeah that's that's good. Be clear now. 1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:55.760 Yeah, I was saying, just brought back to me that 1:00:55.880 --> 1:00:57.040 little boy, you know. 1:00:58.040 --> 1:00:59.480 Yeah, sad and. 1:01:01.760 --> 1:01:05.040 Anyway, Yeah, I got to go to the dentist this 1:01:05.160 --> 1:01:10.840 week and the malogue not coming the right way, it's 1:01:10.880 --> 1:01:12.600 coming side wise mouth. 1:01:12.920 --> 1:01:16.160 Well, okay, that's a bit weird, bit uncomfortable. 1:01:15.680 --> 1:01:15.840 Is it. 1:01:16.840 --> 1:01:17.040 Yeah? 1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:21.720 About the third big bottom two pulled out in the 1:01:21.840 --> 1:01:28.040 male of Greg out from coming sidewise. 1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:32.360 My daughter went to the dentist today or yesterday, i 1:01:32.360 --> 1:01:34.960 should say now for Melbourne listeners. Still today in Perth 1:01:35.920 --> 1:01:39.320 my daughter went to the dentist four hundred bucks for 1:01:39.720 --> 1:01:40.680 an hour in the chair. 1:01:41.600 --> 1:01:45.920 Good money, Well, we love it. 1:01:47.920 --> 1:01:50.880 Well, it's I don't think it would be a great 1:01:51.000 --> 1:01:54.320 job really, because you're dealing with people's mouths, which aren't 1:01:54.320 --> 1:01:57.200 the most pleasant things to begin with, and generally you're 1:01:57.240 --> 1:02:00.520 dealing with people's mouths when they're at their worst. So 1:02:00.960 --> 1:02:04.280 it'd be a pretty gruesome job, I would think. And 1:02:04.520 --> 1:02:07.680 and the technology behind it, I don't think dentistry seems 1:02:07.720 --> 1:02:10.760 to have come that come along as well as other 1:02:11.280 --> 1:02:15.320 parts of medicine. You know, it's all They still to 1:02:15.400 --> 1:02:17.640 take a tooth out, They still grab it with pliers 1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:19.160 and just try and rip it out of your head. 1:02:19.840 --> 1:02:23.080 It's not it doesn't seem like that, surely, there's a 1:02:23.160 --> 1:02:23.840 better way now. 1:02:24.720 --> 1:02:31.680 But when when one first, that old dentist doing it 1:02:32.280 --> 1:02:36.200 just crunched and he left him half the words in 1:02:36.320 --> 1:02:38.760 the in the gum for six months or. 1:02:40.920 --> 1:02:45.439 Yeah, yeah, dentistry is not fun. 1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:52.560 He didn't put me by yeah I'm going one noodle 1:02:52.880 --> 1:02:54.360 and he just went yank. 1:02:58.120 --> 1:02:59.280 Well, brick. 1:03:01.560 --> 1:03:05.200 Well. I had a crown put on a tooth. And 1:03:05.280 --> 1:03:07.560 when they've done that thing where they take it off, 1:03:07.600 --> 1:03:10.760 they do the mold and then they send away and 1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:13.560 the crown gets made by some other company or something, 1:03:13.840 --> 1:03:15.200 and then it comes back and they put it in. 1:03:15.800 --> 1:03:18.720 And when the dentist has put it in, it's not 1:03:18.920 --> 1:03:23.640 gone on perfectly straight. So it's in the right spot, 1:03:23.760 --> 1:03:27.760 but it's just not quite aligned. And so there's a 1:03:27.800 --> 1:03:31.960 bit of a gap that anytime I eat chicken, I 1:03:32.080 --> 1:03:35.600 then have to floss immediately after chicken or meat or anything, 1:03:36.040 --> 1:03:39.000 because there's one part of where the food just gets 1:03:39.000 --> 1:03:42.680 stuck every time. And if I don't floss straight away, 1:03:43.320 --> 1:03:45.800 I sit there with You know how your tongue gets 1:03:45.880 --> 1:03:49.160 drawn to places in your mouth, like if you chip 1:03:49.200 --> 1:03:51.000 a tooth and you can feel it sharp. You just 1:03:51.040 --> 1:03:54.520 spend your whole life with your tongue going right where 1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:57.720 it is, so I feel these little bits of meat 1:03:57.760 --> 1:04:00.600 stuck between the tooth and the you know, the tooth 1:04:00.680 --> 1:04:03.120 next to it. So my tongue's just always there. So 1:04:03.280 --> 1:04:05.680 I can't eat meat unless I've got a toothpick handy, 1:04:06.800 --> 1:04:13.080 So I have four toothpicks. And oh in your wallet. Oh, 1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:18.480 I don't know if that's hygienic. Is it keeping a 1:04:18.520 --> 1:04:21.960 toothpick in your wallet? That's you've got money. You've got 1:04:22.000 --> 1:04:26.000 money that everyone else has fingered. You've got to that's 1:04:26.400 --> 1:04:26.840 years old. 1:04:27.800 --> 1:04:28.160 I'll tell you. 1:04:30.120 --> 1:04:34.800 Okay, that's fair enough. All right, good on your simon, 1:04:34.880 --> 1:04:43.280 good to chat. Thanks mate, take care. Twenty five to 1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:47.320 two already twenty five to midnight in Perth, and five 1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:52.080 after one in Adelaide. Maggie's in Adelaide. We'll chat chat 1:04:52.120 --> 1:04:54.120 to you after the break, Maggie. And after that the 1:04:54.160 --> 1:04:56.520 board's empty. So let's throw something in now to see 1:04:56.520 --> 1:05:00.480 if we can encourage you to call what we used 1:05:00.480 --> 1:05:03.160 to put coins in? Actually there's a bit of a 1:05:03.200 --> 1:05:06.080 setup to that topic, but that's the line, the pitch line, 1:05:06.440 --> 1:05:08.200 what did we used to put coins in? I'll tell 1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:10.040 you my story and we'll take your calls after this, 1:05:11.000 --> 1:05:13.200 and we're taking your calls one double three six nine 1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:15.920 three now just before we do get back to your call, though, 1:05:16.320 --> 1:05:17.920 what did we used to put coins in? 1:05:18.120 --> 1:05:18.240 Now? 1:05:18.280 --> 1:05:23.560 The reason this came up was I love perusing auction sites, 1:05:23.840 --> 1:05:26.480 and a week or so ago, Jay or two weeks ago, 1:05:26.520 --> 1:05:29.000 I think it was now, one of the auction sites 1:05:29.000 --> 1:05:33.760 I looked at had those vending not a vending machine 1:05:33.800 --> 1:05:36.640 in the classical term, but you know the giant bubble 1:05:36.680 --> 1:05:40.160 gum balls that you used to get out of the 1:05:40.240 --> 1:05:44.240 machines that were outside Supermarke. So it's this thing. It 1:05:44.320 --> 1:05:47.080 comes up to about your chest, and it's a big 1:05:47.240 --> 1:05:50.480 circular thing, and there's the little thing where you'd put 1:05:50.480 --> 1:05:53.760 your twenty cents in and your twist the thing and 1:05:53.800 --> 1:05:57.480 then a gum ball would drop out, run down a 1:05:57.600 --> 1:06:00.520 spiral to the little door at the bottom, and then 1:06:00.560 --> 1:06:03.680 you'd reach in and get your gumball. Well, one of 1:06:03.720 --> 1:06:08.560 those came up at the auction side, yeah, yeah, full 1:06:08.600 --> 1:06:11.880 of gumballs, and next to it or the next item, 1:06:11.960 --> 1:06:15.360 so obviously being sold by the same person. The next 1:06:15.440 --> 1:06:19.960 item was a chopper chup one. So it's a cylindrical 1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:23.320 one and it's full of chopper chups and I don't know, 1:06:23.520 --> 1:06:25.320 I don't quite know how that one works where you 1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:27.680 whether you get to choose your flavor or not. But 1:06:28.520 --> 1:06:31.720 the same thing, it's got the little the little coin mechanism. 1:06:32.560 --> 1:06:35.800 And I wanted to buy it. And Taylor, the producer 1:06:35.840 --> 1:06:38.560 for the Dennis Walter program on three OW, which precedes 1:06:38.600 --> 1:06:40.920 this one, she was saying, Oh, you've got to buy it. 1:06:40.960 --> 1:06:42.440 You've got to buy it. And I said, what am 1:06:42.480 --> 1:06:44.919 I going to do with all those gumballs? They'll go off? 1:06:45.760 --> 1:06:48.560 And where can I put it? I've got nowhere at 1:06:48.600 --> 1:06:52.000 home to put these things? Did the gumballs? 1:06:52.160 --> 1:06:54.880 Remember they had there was one a couple of items 1:06:54.960 --> 1:06:58.640 in them that were covered in plastic. Were those gumbles 1:06:58.800 --> 1:07:00.919 or were they little toy Yeah? 1:07:01.000 --> 1:07:04.360 So you could also get little toys in balls. Yeah yeah, No, 1:07:04.440 --> 1:07:08.800 this this one was proper gumballah yeah, running around. Yeah, 1:07:09.480 --> 1:07:11.160 so this was This was the big one. So it's 1:07:11.240 --> 1:07:13.800 not the little ones. You used to see those machines 1:07:13.840 --> 1:07:16.800 where there'd be four of them or six of them 1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:19.280 all in a little stand, and they were smaller ones. 1:07:19.320 --> 1:07:21.560 It wasn't those. This was the one that you know, 1:07:21.800 --> 1:07:23.840 the chopper chup one. And this gumball one came up 1:07:23.880 --> 1:07:27.040 to your chest. They were big items, and I love 1:07:27.160 --> 1:07:29.040 stuff like that. I would love that in my house 1:07:29.120 --> 1:07:31.680 if I had a big house. That's why I would 1:07:31.760 --> 1:07:33.840 have stuff like that in there. For no reason other 1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:35.479 than I think it looks really cool. 1:07:35.760 --> 1:07:37.800 And as you're walking past on your way to the shower, 1:07:37.880 --> 1:07:39.479 on the toilet or something, Yeah you want. 1:07:39.400 --> 1:07:42.720 A chopper chop? Yeah? Have your friends come over for 1:07:42.800 --> 1:07:45.280 dinner whilst I'm cooking the roast, would you like a 1:07:45.360 --> 1:07:48.120 chopper chop? It's only twenty cents? And then play the atari? 1:07:48.280 --> 1:07:54.680 Yeah exactly. So anyway, so I saw those and I 1:07:55.000 --> 1:07:57.440 actually did think because when Taylor was saying, oh, you 1:07:57.480 --> 1:07:59.920 should get them, you should get them, because she's i think, 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:03.120 also impulsive like me in that way. I said, well, 1:08:03.240 --> 1:08:04.800 I've got nowhere to put them, and she said put 1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:07.080 them here. They would actually be really good just in 1:08:07.160 --> 1:08:11.240 the foyer here, and then the staff could have a 1:08:11.280 --> 1:08:15.600 gumball whenever they want it. But again, the thing is 1:08:15.960 --> 1:08:19.400 who carries a twenty cent piece nowadays to put in 1:08:19.479 --> 1:08:24.600 a gumball machine? No one. So so I didn't end 1:08:24.720 --> 1:08:26.120 up doing it as much as I would love to. 1:08:26.320 --> 1:08:28.960 We sometimes you see those machines with the you know 1:08:29.040 --> 1:08:30.040 you can put your card on. 1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:30.519 I don't know. 1:08:30.880 --> 1:08:33.519 It just takes away the authenticityity, doesn't it. 1:08:33.720 --> 1:08:37.360 Yeah? Yeah, they you can pay with the cards. Cars 1:08:37.400 --> 1:08:42.160 for the kids, Yeah yeah, the little firem and sam 1:08:42.240 --> 1:08:44.040 and that where the little kid sits and it goes 1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:46.960 around in a circle. Yeah, tapping tapping going on those 1:08:47.120 --> 1:08:49.599 just isn't the same. It used to be so much 1:08:49.640 --> 1:08:51.760 fun as a kid to put the coins in. Yeah, 1:08:51.920 --> 1:08:56.240 here it go, yep, yeah exactly. There was a physical 1:08:56.360 --> 1:09:00.719 reaction to it was so much better. So I didn't 1:09:00.720 --> 1:09:02.559 get it, but it did get me thinking about things 1:09:02.640 --> 1:09:04.920 we used to put coins in. Because I've now got 1:09:05.439 --> 1:09:08.200 in the dashboard in the center console of my car, 1:09:08.680 --> 1:09:11.599 I've got about six bucks worth of coins that are 1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:14.559 just sitting there that I don't use because you don't 1:09:14.640 --> 1:09:17.760 use coins in parking meters anymore, you don't, you know, 1:09:18.280 --> 1:09:22.080 I have no reason to have cash, So somehow I've 1:09:22.120 --> 1:09:25.040 got change over the journey, and I never do anything 1:09:25.120 --> 1:09:28.120 with it. I can't do anything with my change. Well, 1:09:28.240 --> 1:09:30.479 if you get one and put it here, we know 1:09:30.720 --> 1:09:34.519 you'll be I'll be putting of my own money in 1:09:34.600 --> 1:09:37.439 my own machines. But anyway, So you got me thinking, 1:09:37.560 --> 1:09:39.360 what did we used to put coins in? As a 1:09:39.479 --> 1:09:41.720 talkback topic? One double three eight eighty two or one 1:09:41.760 --> 1:09:43.960 double three six nine three? What did we used to 1:09:44.000 --> 1:09:46.720 put coins in? Do you have any suggestions? We've got 1:09:46.800 --> 1:09:48.880 calls coming through. Let's get back to them. Mark is 1:09:48.920 --> 1:09:50.160 in Hampton East, could I Mark? 1:09:51.120 --> 1:09:51.800 I'll get it there. 1:09:52.040 --> 1:09:52.599 How are you going? 1:09:52.800 --> 1:09:55.040 Yeah? Good, thanks, that's good. 1:09:55.320 --> 1:09:57.679 I'm just thinking about a coin situation. I think I'm 1:09:57.880 --> 1:10:02.320 putting coins to get or toys out of the little 1:10:02.320 --> 1:10:04.200 plastic container with a little piece of paper and it 1:10:04.240 --> 1:10:06.479 back in the day when I was thirteen years old. 1:10:06.720 --> 1:10:08.720 Yes, I just had to bring that up. 1:10:08.760 --> 1:10:11.920 They used to have a little dinosaurs in them, Yeah. 1:10:11.800 --> 1:10:15.240 Little Tony dinosaurs and stuff. Yeah, and others would have 1:10:15.400 --> 1:10:18.200 rings in them, and you get the occasional super well 1:10:18.320 --> 1:10:20.080 and yeah, that's right. 1:10:20.439 --> 1:10:20.639 Yeah. 1:10:20.760 --> 1:10:24.240 We used to become a part of the community just buying. 1:10:24.280 --> 1:10:25.840 It was a very social thing to buy. 1:10:26.240 --> 1:10:26.439 Yeah. 1:10:26.800 --> 1:10:30.240 And if there was a bunch of your kids walking 1:10:30.280 --> 1:10:32.200 home after school and you walk past the shops and 1:10:32.280 --> 1:10:34.760 you had coins, you'd know you'd have a look and 1:10:34.800 --> 1:10:37.080 see what each other got. It was a good little thing. 1:10:38.080 --> 1:10:38.439 That's right. 1:10:38.479 --> 1:10:40.000 I always used to think they were bad luck, but 1:10:40.040 --> 1:10:42.920 then I found down they're actually not bad luck, not 1:10:43.040 --> 1:10:45.639 good luck, but there was something to buy to put 1:10:45.680 --> 1:10:48.800 on a key ring. When you get home at the 1:10:48.920 --> 1:10:50.759 end of the day, you get a little dinosaur, perhaps 1:10:50.840 --> 1:10:53.720 hypathetically speaking on a key ring, pushing a good mood 1:10:53.760 --> 1:10:58.880 to go inside and perhaps looking at refrigerator and have 1:10:59.000 --> 1:11:01.040 an idea or something to buy it for the refrigerator. 1:11:01.080 --> 1:11:04.479 For example, Yeah, what we get fridge magnets or something 1:11:04.520 --> 1:11:05.000 in them? Did you? 1:11:05.160 --> 1:11:08.519 Or if a dinosaur came in a little container the 1:11:08.600 --> 1:11:13.599 coin goes in the machine. I find it, ironically somewhat 1:11:13.640 --> 1:11:14.840 into chemistry. 1:11:15.400 --> 1:11:16.360 And I find that. 1:11:17.840 --> 1:11:20.160 Not only is it a dinosaur, I'm not going to 1:11:20.240 --> 1:11:23.400 go buy a dinosaur, but in my head would give 1:11:23.479 --> 1:11:28.080 me an idea to go. And goodness, it's almost a holocaust. 1:11:28.120 --> 1:11:30.920 Seemed to say, why don't you, Why don't I go 1:11:31.120 --> 1:11:33.680 buy a bit of lettuce? And what I bought a 1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:35.679 little dinosaur and a bit of a container for putting 1:11:35.680 --> 1:11:38.160 a bit of coin in the machine. Because the mass 1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:43.320 in a coin you put in a machine goes in 1:11:43.439 --> 1:11:45.960 the head with a dinosaur. Put the mass in the 1:11:46.040 --> 1:11:48.320 coin with a dinosaur. Give an idea for me to 1:11:48.439 --> 1:11:49.439 put something in the fridge. 1:11:50.240 --> 1:11:55.200 Okay, yeah, that's mathematics. It's a unique reaction. I can't 1:11:55.200 --> 1:11:56.840 say it would have stirred the same thing in me. 1:11:56.960 --> 1:11:58.479 But we're all different, aren't we. 1:11:59.439 --> 1:12:01.559 Well, yeah you had the same idea. 1:12:01.880 --> 1:12:04.280 No, no, I had that idea. I must a been. 1:12:05.560 --> 1:12:07.479 Yes, okay, all right, get on your mark. 1:12:07.479 --> 1:12:08.360 Good to hear your voice. 1:12:09.280 --> 1:12:10.040 Thank you you too far. 1:12:10.240 --> 1:12:13.320 Thanks mate, take care of cheers.

Yeah, 1:13:28.280 --> 1:13:31.200 so not a piggy bank in the official sense of 1:13:31.240 --> 1:13:33.760 the word, but a money box. I did have a 1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:37.200 piggy bank as a kid, like a literally a pig 1:13:37.280 --> 1:13:40.800 shaped money box. But yeah, the main one I had 1:13:41.040 --> 1:13:43.240 was the Commonwealth Bank tin one. 1:13:44.960 --> 1:13:45.160 Yeah. 1:13:45.240 --> 1:13:49.439 Yeah, well the piggy bait was a tin one too. 1:13:49.640 --> 1:13:52.640 Yeah yeah, yeah, it's from my recollection. 1:13:53.000 --> 1:13:55.040 But I'm a lot older than you. 1:13:55.680 --> 1:14:03.519 Yes, this much more I could say about any of 1:14:03.640 --> 1:14:07.000 those topics. But let me get back to. 1:14:08.920 --> 1:14:09.080 Now. 1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:14.240 I'm a elderly I'm not tech savvy. 1:14:16.120 --> 1:14:16.280 Now. 1:14:16.640 --> 1:14:24.639 In recent weeks, I've been getting from like my I've 1:14:24.720 --> 1:14:25.759 got two phones. 1:14:25.880 --> 1:14:27.800 If this phone. 1:14:29.320 --> 1:14:34.640 Is my smart phone, Google, your androids is infected with 1:14:35.040 --> 1:14:43.639 viruses critical virus alert seven one one the others as 1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:45.439 to remove. 1:14:46.280 --> 1:14:47.640 Now what do I do? 1:14:48.439 --> 1:14:51.800 How can I get rid of that? And how can 1:14:51.880 --> 1:14:53.000 I shut it down? 1:14:53.280 --> 1:14:54.240 What do I do? 1:14:55.000 --> 1:14:59.639 From an old lady who lives alone, who's not tax set. 1:15:00.120 --> 1:15:02.920 Yeah, look what you basically need to do, Maggie. I 1:15:03.040 --> 1:15:05.639 don't have an Android phone, so I don't get those. 1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:09.839 I've got an Apple phone and I get text messages occasionally, 1:15:09.880 --> 1:15:12.360 and I can just get a button that says report 1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:15.679 this is spam and block the sender. So I don't 1:15:15.720 --> 1:15:19.800 know if you've got the same functionality on an Android phone. 1:15:21.479 --> 1:15:24.200 The advice I basically give in this circumstance, Maggie is 1:15:24.280 --> 1:15:28.200 find a teenage kid in your neighborhood and they'll be 1:15:28.280 --> 1:15:30.479 able to They'll be able to clear it all up 1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:32.040 for you and hopefully show you how to do it 1:15:32.120 --> 1:15:35.200 in a couple of easy steps. That's probably probably the 1:15:35.280 --> 1:15:38.200 best way. But if anyone has any advice for Meggie, 1:15:38.240 --> 1:15:39.760 feel free to give us a buzz one double three 1:15:39.800 --> 1:15:42.280 six hine three or one double three eighty two. Got 1:15:42.360 --> 1:15:44.880 a break back soon and Arthur has called in from 1:15:44.960 --> 1:15:45.800 west Footscraga. 1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:50.280 Arthur, good morning, Simon and Jaye. Nice to have you 1:15:50.400 --> 1:15:53.879 on the program again. Do you still have your vending machines? 1:15:54.920 --> 1:15:57.559 Yes, I've still got my Pepsi vending machine. 1:15:57.680 --> 1:16:03.840 Yes, yes, Wiiamstown can have an option of paying parking 1:16:03.920 --> 1:16:07.960 meders by card or coins. They've still gone there. But 1:16:08.360 --> 1:16:10.439 the one that comes to my mind always is the 1:16:11.640 --> 1:16:14.120 the big boxes that you used to put coins in 1:16:14.280 --> 1:16:17.919 the for the gas and the electricity between sixties and seventies. 1:16:18.400 --> 1:16:21.759 Really, I wondered if anyone would bring about those. It's 1:16:21.800 --> 1:16:25.360 before my time or I've never experienced them, but I 1:16:25.439 --> 1:16:26.320 knew they were a thing. 1:16:28.040 --> 1:16:29.960 Yeah, And as I mentioned before, like I had a 1:16:30.040 --> 1:16:32.519 friend in rock Bank caravan. I don't know there's still 1:16:32.560 --> 1:16:38.559 there now, but it was mid sorry twenty ten or something, 1:16:38.600 --> 1:16:41.080 and they've still gone in the caravan. Perhad them, I 1:16:41.120 --> 1:16:43.360 should say, so, I don't know this still there in 1:16:43.439 --> 1:16:47.280 the caravan Rock Bank. I was surprised for the gas 1:16:47.360 --> 1:16:50.280 and electricity. I got a shock that doesn't even exist. 1:16:50.840 --> 1:16:53.400 And I understand there were also in the early days 1:16:53.439 --> 1:16:58.400 you could have pay coin operated televisions as well. 1:17:00.200 --> 1:17:01.040 Yeah, I heard that. 1:17:01.360 --> 1:17:05.160 I didn't see the coin operator once. But funny thing 1:17:05.240 --> 1:17:09.960 with the machines. If you had the gas and you 1:17:10.120 --> 1:17:12.120 hadn't had the coins, and they would go right down 1:17:12.160 --> 1:17:14.800 and you'll put the pennies or shillings or twenty cents 1:17:14.880 --> 1:17:17.080 whenever everyone they would go back up when you put 1:17:17.120 --> 1:17:19.760 the coins in. It would go right down or even 1:17:19.840 --> 1:17:22.000 turn off sometimes until you put the coins in the 1:17:22.080 --> 1:17:23.360 machine in the box. 1:17:23.439 --> 1:17:26.559 I should say, isn't it interesting? I wonder what they 1:17:26.640 --> 1:17:31.400 did the switch over from decimal to decimal currency from 1:17:31.479 --> 1:17:36.160 imperial currency. If everything was coin operated, then how did 1:17:36.280 --> 1:17:39.680 they manage that? I wonder that that switchover. 1:17:40.960 --> 1:17:45.680 Yeah, I know it was. It's yeah, it was you 1:17:45.760 --> 1:17:49.080 could kids are kids my pay card to break it. 1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:52.519 It was unbreakable. It was trying to get the coins out. Yeah, 1:17:52.760 --> 1:17:56.080 so funny. It was just unbreakable, like a you know, 1:17:56.320 --> 1:18:00.519 like a solid solid bullet or something. They were just 1:18:00.640 --> 1:18:03.599 unbreaka all those things you wanted to get, the money 1:18:03.880 --> 1:18:05.920 to get fish and chips or whatever you wanted to get. 1:18:05.960 --> 1:18:10.400 It was so funny. He's got up to mischief. Unfortunately. 1:18:11.080 --> 1:18:13.519 I remember as a kid the local phone booth was 1:18:13.640 --> 1:18:16.320 usually vandalized as well from people trying to break in 1:18:16.400 --> 1:18:21.240 with a screwdriver to get the coins out. Yeah. 1:18:21.520 --> 1:18:24.479 Well they wouldn't get much of that now because Telsa 1:18:24.760 --> 1:18:27.280 phone public phones are all free as you know. 1:18:27.600 --> 1:18:31.559 Yeah, which is good, it's yeah, but most of them 1:18:31.600 --> 1:18:33.880 have been turned into free Wi Fi things too, so 1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:35.559 you can connect. 1:18:37.640 --> 1:18:41.200 The phone boxes have got to be in certain areas 1:18:41.439 --> 1:18:44.920 by law for the disadvantage like somehowder that may not 1:18:45.080 --> 1:18:47.720 be able to use the pay plane or can't afford it, 1:18:47.920 --> 1:18:51.000 or just people that have inconvenience. So I know they've 1:18:51.040 --> 1:18:53.439 got to be. They can't get rid of all often. 1:18:53.520 --> 1:18:56.799 They've got to be certain ones in a certain vicinity 1:18:56.880 --> 1:19:01.080 of certain areas, for mainly for the elderly people. Just 1:19:01.160 --> 1:19:02.280 in case, there you go. 1:19:02.560 --> 1:19:05.120 I didn't realize that. I didn't know that was that 1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:08.240 was the case. All right, I've got to get another breakaway, Arthur. 1:19:08.280 --> 1:19:13.040 But lovely, excuse me, lovely to chat as always. It's 1:19:13.080 --> 1:19:15.320 coming up to five to two. Thank you Janet for 1:19:15.400 --> 1:19:17.599 the text, Simon. The best way to fix the problem 1:19:17.880 --> 1:19:20.320 the meat in between your teeth. Chew a piece of 1:19:20.400 --> 1:19:22.720 gum until it goes soft. Press it against the two 1:19:22.760 --> 1:19:25.479 teeth where the meat is lodged. The soft chewing gum 1:19:25.520 --> 1:19:28.760 pushes the meat out the other side. No discomfort like 1:19:28.840 --> 1:19:31.360 you can get from using toothpicks. Thank you, Janet. But 1:19:31.920 --> 1:19:35.080 we talked earlier about things that trigger people. Chewing gum 1:19:35.479 --> 1:19:39.200 makes me want to heave my guts out. I can't 1:19:39.520 --> 1:19:42.479 cope with chewing gum. And when I'm standing there having 1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:46.040 a chat with someone who's going just chewing away and 1:19:46.080 --> 1:19:48.479 a piece of chewing gum, I want to barf all 1:19:48.560 --> 1:19:52.280 over their shoes. It really is something that I've struggled 1:19:52.280 --> 1:19:55.400 with my whole life. If someone gets in my car 1:19:55.560 --> 1:19:57.280 and their chewing gum, I have to put the window 1:19:57.400 --> 1:20:01.200 down because the smell does my head in ugh. I 1:20:01.360 --> 1:20:04.000 just can't cope with chewing gum. Just one of those 1:20:04.080 --> 1:20:07.439 little quirks in life. I did say, everyone's different. It's 1:20:07.439 --> 1:20:10.759 coming up to two o'clock. That's midnight and half past 1:20:11.280 --> 1:20:12.639 one in other places. 1:20:13.800 --> 1:20:18.120 Go leave me bradless. 1:20:19.000 --> 1:20:19.200 Now. 1:20:19.680 --> 1:20:23.040 This is Australia Urban Eyed with Simon. 1:20:22.760 --> 1:20:27.519 Owen's and it's seven after two in Melbourne, seven after 1:20:27.600 --> 1:20:31.760 midnight in Perth and twenty three to two in South Australia. 1:20:32.160 --> 1:20:33.880 Good to have you on board this morning, if you've 1:20:34.040 --> 1:20:36.479 just woken up, if you've just joined us, or if 1:20:36.479 --> 1:20:39.120 you're just hopping into bed at this time of the morning. 1:20:39.880 --> 1:20:43.360 Tony McManus is off this morning. His partner's been a 1:20:43.400 --> 1:20:46.200 little unwell during the week and it seems the bug 1:20:46.280 --> 1:20:49.479 ha's crossed over to him. So Tony's off this morning. 1:20:49.800 --> 1:20:52.320 He should be back tomorrow, but if he's not, he'll 1:20:52.360 --> 1:20:56.240 be back on Monday for sure.

Some people, JAY are very alert and very aware, 1:21:11.400 --> 1:21:14.719 and we forget just how closely some people pay attention. 1:21:15.439 --> 1:21:19.120 A text from Agent five eight zero Simon hates two 1:21:19.200 --> 1:21:23.320 thousand and one A Space Odyssey and chewing gum. Yeah, 1:21:23.640 --> 1:21:27.479 that's absolutely true. I have often spoken about my loathing 1:21:28.240 --> 1:21:30.559 of the movie two thousand and one A Space Odyssey. 1:21:31.040 --> 1:21:33.679 Was there any chewing of gum in the movie? 1:21:34.240 --> 1:21:37.120 Not that, not that I recall, thank god, because then 1:21:37.120 --> 1:21:38.679 I'd have to hate it even more. 1:21:38.960 --> 1:21:41.599 It was a few tense moments, Yeah, yeah, there were 1:21:41.720 --> 1:21:43.040 it would call for a chewing gum. 1:21:43.920 --> 1:21:45.839 I yess but exactly? 1:21:46.000 --> 1:21:47.600 But is that? 1:21:48.000 --> 1:21:50.639 Have you watched that movie? Do you like that movie? 1:21:51.600 --> 1:21:53.320 I think, to be honest, I haven't actually seen it. 1:21:53.360 --> 1:21:54.680 I've seen bits and pieces of it. 1:21:54.760 --> 1:21:55.160 Of course. 1:21:55.240 --> 1:21:57.800 You know what's the red light called again? 1:21:58.520 --> 1:22:03.760 How thou the computer thing? Spaceship? Yeah, but that's about it. 1:22:04.120 --> 1:22:06.639 That's my knowledge of Spado Space Odyssey. 1:22:06.880 --> 1:22:09.080 Well, you're not missing anything. It was a drag. 1:22:09.320 --> 1:22:11.599 It was an absolute drag of a movie. I found 1:22:11.760 --> 1:22:13.879 it was a bit like Aliens. You know that silence, 1:22:13.960 --> 1:22:17.040 that quite spacey sound. I know there was a few 1:22:17.160 --> 1:22:17.720 scenes like that. 1:22:17.920 --> 1:22:21.160 It was very quiet. Yeah, it was. Well, it starts 1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:23.880 with I think monkey's breaking a rock or something I 1:22:23.960 --> 1:22:28.120 can't really early even remember, and I think there's there's 1:22:28.360 --> 1:22:32.559 there's some theme that goes through it, going from stone 1:22:32.600 --> 1:22:36.960 age man to cave men days to the future where 1:22:37.200 --> 1:22:41.639 computers will kill us or elon mask and all that. Yeah. Yeah, 1:22:42.000 --> 1:22:45.640 it may even have been in it, but I just 1:22:45.800 --> 1:22:49.360 I just found it really boring. The other movie it 1:22:49.520 --> 1:22:51.840 was the other one that did my head in was 1:22:51.880 --> 1:22:56.400 the original Star Trek movie. Because I'm a Star Trek fan. 1:22:56.479 --> 1:22:58.519 I love a bit of Star Trek. But the movie 1:22:59.200 --> 1:23:02.800 the Special Effect X were so new and exciting with 1:23:03.240 --> 1:23:06.120 you know, spaceships and stuff. There's like a twenty minute 1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:10.160 sequence where the Enterprise or some spaceship is docking and 1:23:10.280 --> 1:23:13.439 it shows it moving into place and clamps coming out, 1:23:13.640 --> 1:23:16.280 and I just just parked the bloody thing and got 1:23:16.320 --> 1:23:18.960 on with the plot. Will you press a few buttons? Yeah, 1:23:19.320 --> 1:23:24.320 it was just did my head in. So yeah, so 1:23:24.880 --> 1:23:27.040 there you go. But somebody has remembered I can't remember 1:23:27.080 --> 1:23:28.600 the last time I brought up two thousand and one 1:23:28.640 --> 1:23:31.479 of Space Odyssey. But because I've just mentioned before the 1:23:31.520 --> 1:23:35.400 news that I hate chewing gum, somebody has agent five 1:23:35.479 --> 1:23:37.479 eight zero who's pointed that out. So good on you, 1:23:37.560 --> 1:23:40.479 thank you for that. Chris of Broadmeadows has also texted 1:23:40.520 --> 1:23:43.920 three that he worked at the Two Way Cafe making 1:23:44.000 --> 1:23:47.880 pizza slices and tables had jukeboxes that you used to 1:23:47.920 --> 1:23:52.679 put twenty cents in to play top ten hit music. Yes, 1:23:52.880 --> 1:23:57.439 the little jukebox. There was two different things. As Chris 1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:01.000 points out, the tables had little mini one where you 1:24:01.040 --> 1:24:05.439 could select songs. I reckon, that's pretty cool. I'd love 1:24:05.520 --> 1:24:07.040 to have one of those at home, just sitting on 1:24:07.120 --> 1:24:11.080 a table. Yeah, just a little mini jukebox thing. But 1:24:11.200 --> 1:24:14.080 I remember because my grandparents on my dad's side were 1:24:14.080 --> 1:24:17.960 shock and alcoholics and they lived at Philip Island just 1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:20.720 over the bridge. I've forgotten the name of the suburb there, 1:24:21.200 --> 1:24:24.760 just over the bridge on Philip Island, But we would 1:24:24.800 --> 1:24:26.760 walk across the bridge with them to go to the 1:24:26.840 --> 1:24:31.000 local pub in San Remo and they'd sit there at 1:24:31.040 --> 1:24:34.000 the bar getting absolutely wasted whilst they were babysitting my 1:24:34.120 --> 1:24:37.120 sister and myself, and they give us money to go 1:24:37.240 --> 1:24:39.520 and put in the jukebox just to keep us entertained. 1:24:40.080 --> 1:24:42.560 So I had a great time growing up with the 1:24:42.680 --> 1:24:46.080 occasional visits to the grandparents because I got cash to 1:24:46.160 --> 1:24:48.680 play with the jukebox. I also remember there was a 1:24:48.720 --> 1:24:52.479 cigarette vending machine in the pub as well, which I 1:24:52.520 --> 1:24:55.599 don't think you see them around anymore. They're probably illegal, 1:24:55.640 --> 1:24:58.920 I would guess, given you'd be able to buy cigarettes 1:24:58.960 --> 1:25:02.920 without without having an ID check. If there were vending machines. 1:25:02.560 --> 1:25:05.200 For cigarettes and no ID checks back in the old days. 1:25:05.120 --> 1:25:07.200 N that'd be a good collective we'll to have too, 1:25:07.240 --> 1:25:09.280 wouldn't it. A vending machine for cigarettes. 1:25:09.680 --> 1:25:13.040 Yeah, all the different brands on there, Yeah, brands sitting 1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:13.880 on the Yeah. 1:25:14.360 --> 1:25:19.640 Yeah, the good old days where advertising was allowed. We 1:25:19.720 --> 1:25:24.200 could advertise different ways to kill ourselves. All right, let's 1:25:24.200 --> 1:25:25.960 get back to your calls. One double three six nine 1:25:26.000 --> 1:25:28.320 three one double three eight eighty two and keep the 1:25:28.400 --> 1:25:31.599 text coming on zero four double seven six nine three 1:25:31.640 --> 1:25:33.639 six nine three. Jim's in West Foot's great. 1:25:33.439 --> 1:25:38.120 Hey, Jim, Hi, Simon and Jay first or all. I 1:25:38.200 --> 1:25:41.720 have to correct myself about earlier when I told you 1:25:42.240 --> 1:25:45.760 when I worked at both WICKSLS on Somerville Road, there 1:25:45.880 --> 1:25:48.760 was quite a few meat works because I was a 1:25:48.840 --> 1:25:54.679 bit tired. It was in Brooklyn, both Wicks, not Somerville Road, 1:25:55.200 --> 1:25:58.600 where a lot of people from those years would remember it. 1:25:59.000 --> 1:26:02.519 But also about boxes. When I was younger, I had 1:26:02.600 --> 1:26:05.720 the same Commonwealth ones you had, the steel ones, and 1:26:06.120 --> 1:26:09.040 I still have two here and now I have one 1:26:09.520 --> 1:26:14.480 designed like a house and one with a large Scottish 1:26:14.720 --> 1:26:18.880 black terrier. Put coins in when I call them up. 1:26:19.400 --> 1:26:22.640 I'm with the Commonwealth Bank, so when I call them up, 1:26:22.680 --> 1:26:26.600 I take them and put them in a machine. Accounts 1:26:26.840 --> 1:26:29.280 how much you got in coins gives you a slip 1:26:30.040 --> 1:26:33.639 to the can you put into your account. But vending 1:26:33.760 --> 1:26:40.000 machines you and Jay would probably still remember Flinderstree and 1:26:40.560 --> 1:26:44.880 Spencer Street will before Southern Cross and nearly every station 1:26:45.640 --> 1:26:50.120 every platform had vending machines where you could buy cigarettes, 1:26:50.400 --> 1:26:54.799 or they had vending machines where you could buy hot coffees, 1:26:54.840 --> 1:27:00.960 hot chocolates, twist His Chips chocolates and another vending machine 1:27:01.280 --> 1:27:05.160 which you might remember, Simon. I saw only very few 1:27:05.240 --> 1:27:07.479 people win on it. There was a machine in a 1:27:07.560 --> 1:27:11.479 lot of amusement centers, and I think even in when 1:27:11.520 --> 1:27:15.120 you used to going before going into a cinema. They 1:27:15.200 --> 1:27:18.640 might have had it a machine with a like a 1:27:18.840 --> 1:27:22.800 hook hand that you'd have to get the prizes with. 1:27:23.320 --> 1:27:25.760 Only saw very few people. If you'd get it, it 1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:28.000 would come out the slide and you'd win it. But 1:27:28.120 --> 1:27:31.200 as I said, I saw very very very very hard. 1:27:31.760 --> 1:27:33.880 I forgot the name of the machine, but you probably 1:27:33.960 --> 1:27:36.519 know what I'm talking about, like a hook hand that 1:27:36.640 --> 1:27:39.200 you're apt to get the prize you were after and 1:27:39.280 --> 1:27:42.720 it would come out. I saw that in quite a 1:27:42.760 --> 1:27:43.760 few places too. 1:27:44.080 --> 1:27:46.559 Yeah, yeah, they were good. I did, all right. There 1:27:46.640 --> 1:27:50.320 was one of those machines that must have been calibrated 1:27:51.000 --> 1:27:54.040 fairly well in favor of the of the person playing 1:27:54.080 --> 1:27:57.280 the game, because most of them, when that claw drops down, 1:27:57.960 --> 1:28:01.880 it lifts the claw up before the claw closes properly, 1:28:02.320 --> 1:28:05.400 so that most of the prizes just fall through. But 1:28:06.640 --> 1:28:09.040 there was one where I got a heap of stuffed 1:28:09.040 --> 1:28:12.800 toys from my kids because it always seemed to grab something. 1:28:13.800 --> 1:28:15.640 I can't remember where that was. I think just at 1:28:15.640 --> 1:28:20.360 a shopping center somewhere, but I love those old claw toys. 1:28:20.479 --> 1:28:20.679 Yeah. 1:28:21.880 --> 1:28:24.679 Yeah, well you had better luck than I did, Simon, 1:28:24.760 --> 1:28:27.080 But nearly everyone I saw a player couldn't get it. 1:28:27.280 --> 1:28:31.000 But if I think even you and Jaild remember Flinders Street, 1:28:31.160 --> 1:28:35.880 every platform had vending machines everywhere. Yeah, cigarette machines, and 1:28:36.360 --> 1:28:40.040 you could get your coffees. You had chocolates, your twists, 1:28:40.080 --> 1:28:46.760 your chocolates, your potato chips. Nearly every platform had them, 1:28:47.160 --> 1:28:51.840 even North Melbourne and even Sunshine. All stations had the 1:28:51.920 --> 1:28:53.799 vending machines where you could get something. 1:28:53.960 --> 1:28:57.720 Yeah, I would assume, I would assume most still do. 1:28:57.960 --> 1:29:00.919 I don't know. I don't really travel by public transport 1:29:01.040 --> 1:29:04.479 much or by train anyway, so but I would imagine 1:29:04.520 --> 1:29:09.080 that most would, you know, at least the bigger ones would. 1:29:11.840 --> 1:29:14.400 I honestly don't know. People could tell us. I guess 1:29:15.160 --> 1:29:19.320 the best. I don't drink coffee. But there was a 1:29:19.400 --> 1:29:22.560 place where my daughter trained for a year while she 1:29:22.680 --> 1:29:28.880 was playing basketball. Teams rotate and change every season, but 1:29:29.479 --> 1:29:32.360 she was allocated to a court for her team to 1:29:32.439 --> 1:29:34.200 train on, and it was in a venue that we 1:29:34.280 --> 1:29:38.600 didn't normally go too much, And in the foyer of 1:29:38.720 --> 1:29:41.800 that was just this dumpy, little coffee machine. It didn't 1:29:41.840 --> 1:29:44.640 look like much, but it made hot chocolate as well 1:29:44.680 --> 1:29:47.760 as coffee, and so I bought a hot chocolate there 1:29:47.800 --> 1:29:52.320 for two dollars once and it was a freezing cold day. 1:29:52.560 --> 1:29:54.519 I had a bit of a yuck taste in my mouth, 1:29:54.560 --> 1:29:56.160 and I thought, I'll get a hot chocolate to drink 1:29:56.200 --> 1:29:58.000 in the car on the way to work after I 1:29:58.120 --> 1:30:01.000 dropped my daughter off at her basketball train and it 1:30:01.200 --> 1:30:04.920 was the greatest hot chocolate I have ever had in 1:30:05.040 --> 1:30:08.680 my whole life. So every week after that, when I 1:30:08.760 --> 1:30:10.840 dropped her off a basketball training, I would get a 1:30:10.880 --> 1:30:13.680 hot chocolate. And there were days where I didn't know 1:30:15.320 --> 1:30:17.120 it was out of my way, but I would drive 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:18.560 there to get a hot chocolate on the way to 1:30:18.640 --> 1:30:21.800 work anyway, even when my daughter didn't have basketball training, 1:30:22.080 --> 1:30:25.040 because it was just so delicious. And then one day 1:30:25.040 --> 1:30:27.240 I turned up and the machine was gone and replaced 1:30:27.240 --> 1:30:30.840 with another bigger, better machine and the hot chocolate and 1:30:30.920 --> 1:30:33.439 that was appalling. So I don't know what it was. 1:30:33.960 --> 1:30:35.840 I don't know who made the machine. I don't know 1:30:35.880 --> 1:30:38.679 where the hot chocolate came from, but oh I miss 1:30:38.720 --> 1:30:39.439 it to this day. 1:30:40.640 --> 1:30:43.320 Another question I want to ask you, Simon, which I've 1:30:43.680 --> 1:30:46.840 never asked you, because you knew Philip for those years, 1:30:47.280 --> 1:30:50.280 and I heard Phillips say many times his father was 1:30:50.320 --> 1:30:53.160 a psychiatrist. Did you ever get to meet Philip's father 1:30:53.280 --> 1:30:54.160 when he was alife. 1:30:54.439 --> 1:30:58.160 No, Phil's father died in nineteen seventy something. So I 1:30:58.360 --> 1:31:01.360 was a child when Phil's ah dad passed away. 1:31:01.520 --> 1:31:06.000 Sadly, Okay, I didn't know what what he passed away in. 1:31:06.160 --> 1:31:09.080 But yeah, but I heard him. Did I? Did hear 1:31:09.320 --> 1:31:12.200 when I Philip did say his father was a psychiatrist 1:31:12.320 --> 1:31:13.280 many times, didn't I? 1:31:13.560 --> 1:31:18.200 Yes, Yeah he did, Yes, Yes he was here. Wilfred Brady. 1:31:19.640 --> 1:31:22.360 All right, okay, thank you, thank you, good on your Jim. 1:31:22.479 --> 1:31:26.880 Thanks for that. Hi Simon talking about the topic from 1:31:26.960 --> 1:31:30.120 last hour. Things we put things we used to put 1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:34.040 coins in. Hi, Mike says Hi Simon.

Really, I loved them. That's a 1:32:20.960 --> 1:32:25.920 bit sad, isn't it, using chopper chopsticks as toys. I 1:32:26.200 --> 1:32:28.600 found that a bit touching, Tiffy. But thank you for 1:32:28.680 --> 1:32:32.679 the text. Sandra's in Frankston. Hi, Sandra, Well, good. 1:32:32.560 --> 1:32:33.320 Morning, Simon. 1:32:33.840 --> 1:32:34.680 How are you are. 1:32:35.040 --> 1:32:37.519 I'm good, that's good. 1:32:37.680 --> 1:32:38.160 I had. 1:32:41.360 --> 1:32:45.120 One of those machines, you know, you put your gumbles. 1:32:45.120 --> 1:32:47.120 The gumball machine. Yeah, when my. 1:32:47.200 --> 1:32:49.560 Kids were little, but we never put gumballs, and we 1:32:49.640 --> 1:32:52.920 put little smarties or chopper balls, you know. Okay, Yes, 1:32:53.560 --> 1:32:56.120 I left the colored paper in it because if they 1:32:56.200 --> 1:32:58.120 made them, it's just paper, little and. 1:32:58.680 --> 1:32:59.720 We never put in it. 1:33:00.080 --> 1:33:04.520 Jeff got from work and he put ten little Smarties 1:33:04.600 --> 1:33:06.840 in it, so they had a turn and turning the 1:33:06.880 --> 1:33:09.639 wheel each and they had five smarties each, not every day. 1:33:09.680 --> 1:33:11.560 It was a treat for him, but they loved it. 1:33:12.400 --> 1:33:12.640 It is. 1:33:12.720 --> 1:33:14.439 It's such a cute. They're such cute. 1:33:14.920 --> 1:33:16.320 Nice in the kitchen too, you know. 1:33:16.520 --> 1:33:18.120 So that was what I got it. 1:33:18.520 --> 1:33:20.760 That's that's what I reckon. They just look great. I 1:33:20.920 --> 1:33:25.200 love stuff like that. Another thing I was looking at.

Yeah, Yeah, everyone's 1:33:40.479 --> 1:33:46.840 very happy. Xavier is the youngest of my two grandkids, 1:33:47.000 --> 1:33:47.799 Archie and Xavier. 1:33:48.880 --> 1:33:49.080 Yeah. 1:33:49.280 --> 1:33:51.719 Wow, yeah, how how. 1:33:53.439 --> 1:33:57.200 Xavier turns to in about three or four months and 1:33:57.680 --> 1:34:02.519 an Archie's Archie's turning four or so. Yeah, they're growing 1:34:02.640 --> 1:34:03.679 up way too quickly. 1:34:04.880 --> 1:34:12.840 My nephew's little daughter, Coca, she's beautiful, the kids named. Yeah, 1:34:15.240 --> 1:34:16.479 she's nine months old. 1:34:16.320 --> 1:34:19.559 And she's walking walking at nine. 1:34:19.400 --> 1:34:23.320 Months, holding onto the couch walking. 1:34:23.840 --> 1:34:27.559 Wow, okay, so not not walking independently. 1:34:27.040 --> 1:34:30.240 Yet yet, but she stands up and she rocks. 1:34:31.160 --> 1:34:34.280 Yeah, that's that's very impressive at nine months. Normally it's 1:34:34.560 --> 1:34:37.840 it's around about the first birthday that they're brave enough 1:34:37.880 --> 1:34:40.000 to take a step or two. So she sounds pretty 1:34:40.040 --> 1:34:40.680 advanced there. 1:34:41.640 --> 1:34:42.840 She's just a little girl. 1:34:42.920 --> 1:34:43.120 Yeah. 1:34:43.880 --> 1:34:46.160 Well, we had when our when our first was born. 1:34:46.240 --> 1:34:51.200 It's always harder with your first because you you're worried 1:34:51.640 --> 1:34:53.880 all the time that your kid might not be normal. 1:34:54.479 --> 1:34:57.479 So my wife and a friend of hers who used 1:34:57.520 --> 1:35:01.439 to work with her, had our first children on the 1:35:01.560 --> 1:35:05.679 exact same day at the same hospital. So my wife 1:35:05.840 --> 1:35:08.080 we had Shannon, and my wife's friend, Lizzie had a 1:35:08.120 --> 1:35:10.800 bub as well. And I can't remember Lizzie's bub's name, 1:35:10.920 --> 1:35:15.679 but about nine months later after we had them, Shannon 1:35:15.800 --> 1:35:19.639 never crawled. Shannon would lie there on her stomach winge 1:35:19.920 --> 1:35:22.919 and roll over onto her back, but she never crawled. 1:35:23.560 --> 1:35:28.439 So she started walking at the age of one, but 1:35:28.600 --> 1:35:31.040 she just never crawled. She'd just lie there and she 1:35:31.120 --> 1:35:34.800 would roll around a room, but she'd never crawl. At 1:35:35.000 --> 1:35:40.160 eight months, Lizzie bought her daughter over for afternoon tea 1:35:40.240 --> 1:35:43.960 or whatever, and her child could walk at eight months. 1:35:44.760 --> 1:35:46.880 So they've put the two kids on the floor. She 1:35:46.920 --> 1:35:48.840 didn't tell us, but we've put the two kids on 1:35:48.920 --> 1:35:52.000 the floor opposite each other, looking at each other. My 1:35:52.160 --> 1:35:55.040 daughter's lying there like a little lump of nothing, not 1:35:55.200 --> 1:35:58.240 moving at all, just staring at this other baby, and 1:35:58.360 --> 1:36:00.799 this other baby just pulls itself up on to its knees, 1:36:01.160 --> 1:36:04.439 pushes its hands on the floor and stands up, and 1:36:04.520 --> 1:36:06.599 we're looking at her, going, oh my god, our daughter 1:36:06.680 --> 1:36:13.240 is an idiot. We were so paranoid that I what 1:36:13.360 --> 1:36:15.960 have we done? What aren't we doing properly? We must 1:36:16.000 --> 1:36:19.280 be bad parents. But no, she turned out all right. 1:36:20.400 --> 1:36:23.519 I'll make this a laugh. My dad with Coco being born, 1:36:23.800 --> 1:36:26.440 that was his one hundredth grand great grandchild. 1:36:27.320 --> 1:36:29.000 Wow, that's a plague. 1:36:30.120 --> 1:36:31.960 Yeah, tell me I've got two. 1:36:33.320 --> 1:36:34.040 Two grand kids. 1:36:34.360 --> 1:36:38.679 Yeah, I only had the two boys grandchildren, and they've 1:36:38.720 --> 1:36:44.559 had boys, both of them. And there's one hundred love. Wow, 1:36:44.800 --> 1:36:47.680 that's explained children and one hundred great grandchildren. 1:36:47.960 --> 1:36:52.240 Forty six grandkids and one hundred great grandkids. That is amazing. 1:36:53.360 --> 1:36:55.080 And we'd like to put that in the middle of 1:36:55.160 --> 1:36:55.719 the magazine. 1:36:55.840 --> 1:36:58.080 Oh, just try and remember their names. 1:36:58.280 --> 1:37:01.720 It's just it's And my dad was going to put 1:37:01.760 --> 1:37:03.799 one of those things on the back of the window 1:37:04.000 --> 1:37:06.280 of the car with a many kids, you gotten dogs 1:37:06.320 --> 1:37:08.320 and everything is said, there be too many. 1:37:10.439 --> 1:37:14.080 That's wonderful. Lead a bus just to put the stickers 1:37:14.120 --> 1:37:19.280 on the sand I spent. 1:37:19.439 --> 1:37:21.280 Did I haven't spoken to you since I come out 1:37:21.280 --> 1:37:22.040 of hospital, have I? 1:37:23.000 --> 1:37:23.040 No? 1:37:23.200 --> 1:37:23.800 I don't think so. 1:37:24.080 --> 1:37:24.120 No. 1:37:25.040 --> 1:37:27.679 I was into three weeks. 1:37:27.479 --> 1:37:30.439 In for instant hospital, five weeks at Rehebs, and then 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:32.920 I went to what they called the transition because they 1:37:32.920 --> 1:37:36.000 wouldn't let me come home on my own. I was 1:37:36.040 --> 1:37:39.960 in the back brace for eight months. Next Sord where 1:37:40.000 --> 1:37:42.599 I lived, I picked a glass up off my sink 1:37:42.800 --> 1:37:47.760 to put in the capboards and I turned and I 1:37:47.800 --> 1:37:52.200 couldn't move, and I eventually got to my car and 1:37:52.240 --> 1:37:55.439 went down. The doctors in tears sent me for X 1:37:55.560 --> 1:37:58.080 rays and I said I can't walk that though. I said, 1:37:58.960 --> 1:38:00.720 go up there and see what's with your back. And 1:38:00.840 --> 1:38:02.799 I had to ring him back on the Saturday morning 1:38:03.600 --> 1:38:05.479 and he said, nothing wrong with your back. I said, well, 1:38:05.520 --> 1:38:08.320 I have come around straightener. I can't move off my 1:38:08.400 --> 1:38:11.400 bed anyway.

Did you ever see the film Love Enn Rose? 1:40:30.320 --> 1:40:30.360 No? 1:40:30.560 --> 1:40:34.519 I haven't, No, it is an standing film. At one 1:40:34.760 --> 1:40:38.599 Marianne courtilard the Oscar for her portrayal of Edith Prf. 1:40:39.240 --> 1:40:42.400 Oh, I might have to add that to my list 1:40:42.520 --> 1:40:45.280 of movies that I have to watch, which is quite 1:40:45.320 --> 1:40:48.639 a long list. But I recom that sounds good. 1:40:50.160 --> 1:40:53.519 Well yeah, and then and then ci Dion's version for 1:40:53.720 --> 1:40:56.160 the other Edith Pf song at the Olympics, that was 1:40:56.320 --> 1:40:57.879 just outstandingly brilliant. 1:40:59.000 --> 1:41:01.400 Well, you can't go wrong Celine Dion either, ken you. 1:41:01.600 --> 1:41:06.320 She's just just magnificent herself. So yeah, well you're not 1:41:06.520 --> 1:41:08.840 just the tennis man. You're quite cultured here, Craig. 1:41:09.840 --> 1:41:10.840 Yeah, cultured with a k. 1:41:14.479 --> 1:41:18.080 Now. So well, let's get down to Tintex. The French 1:41:18.120 --> 1:41:21.320 Open is on, of course, in the second round. I 1:41:21.360 --> 1:41:23.680 think we're du now, yeah, and. 1:41:24.479 --> 1:41:28.960 We've had quite a few results through already today we've 1:41:29.000 --> 1:41:31.880 had a couple of Australians on court one up, one down. 1:41:32.040 --> 1:41:36.439 On the two that played Ala tom Lanovitch unfortunately lost. 1:41:36.720 --> 1:41:39.880 That was on court sleep Shelf, which is the center 1:41:40.000 --> 1:41:44.639 court over here, and she lost to Justine Paldini, who 1:41:45.040 --> 1:41:47.679 was the finest here last year and is in pretty 1:41:47.720 --> 1:41:51.240 good form. Here's six three sixty three. And then on 1:41:51.360 --> 1:41:54.840 the positive side, Alexie Popprin, who's the twenty fifth seed, 1:41:55.200 --> 1:41:57.840 has reached the third round of the French Open for 1:41:57.920 --> 1:42:02.120 the first time and he did Alejandro Tabilo of Chile 1:42:02.720 --> 1:42:05.640 seven five, six, three, six fours. That's it for the 1:42:05.720 --> 1:42:08.920 Australians today. But there's been a lot of other big 1:42:09.040 --> 1:42:12.360 names on court, Carlos Alcaraz winning in four sets, and 1:42:12.400 --> 1:42:16.560 then soon after that, Eager schrion Tek defeating Emma Radicano 1:42:16.720 --> 1:42:19.200 six one, six two. It's a bit of a better 1:42:19.280 --> 1:42:23.080 performance than Radicano had against srion Tek at the Australian 1:42:23.120 --> 1:42:26.720 Open this year. But you know, shrian Tek has just 1:42:26.840 --> 1:42:31.880 proven too good when she comes up against Radakanu and the. 1:42:33.400 --> 1:42:38.679 You know is what's his name, alex demanoir, Yeah, he's playing. 1:42:38.920 --> 1:42:41.639 He hasn't played yet, has he today? Is he tomorrow. 1:42:41.760 --> 1:42:45.120 Now he's on tomorrow. That a very French way of 1:42:45.439 --> 1:42:50.560 pronouncing his name. And why not, Well, I contended that 1:42:50.640 --> 1:42:53.280 we've got about three Australians on tomorrow because I've already 1:42:53.320 --> 1:42:57.240 got tomorrow's order of play, and alex Dimenov is on 1:42:57.439 --> 1:43:01.920 court to play. Alexander Public of Kazakhstan used to be 1:43:01.960 --> 1:43:05.599 a Russian, but the Kazakhs brought him and he's now 1:43:05.640 --> 1:43:08.840 a Kazakh and Demonor goes into that with a three 1:43:08.960 --> 1:43:13.000 no record against Public, and Public is like, look, I'm 1:43:13.000 --> 1:43:16.920 saying this in a polite way. No phone calls. He 1:43:17.120 --> 1:43:19.439 is a nutcase on the court. You do not know 1:43:19.800 --> 1:43:23.680 what you will get from Alexander Public and the other 1:43:23.760 --> 1:43:29.120 two Australians on tomorrow. My time, I'm talking Adam Walton 1:43:30.040 --> 1:43:33.320 from Brisbane up against another one. You don't know what 1:43:33.520 --> 1:43:39.840 to expect from Andre Rubelev and one woman tomorrow, Daria Cassakina, 1:43:40.160 --> 1:43:43.719 who's going to be settling in Melbourne. She has gained 1:43:43.720 --> 1:43:47.760 Australian citizenship formerly Russian and it's all happened in the 1:43:47.840 --> 1:43:51.639 last couple of months. But she will be playing Liol 1:43:52.080 --> 1:43:54.640 Jean Jean. Does that sound French or. 1:43:54.880 --> 1:43:57.519 Does it, Liver, I don't think you get more French 1:43:57.640 --> 1:44:05.680 than that. Yeah, exactly, that's marvelous. The what was I 1:44:05.760 --> 1:44:09.960 going to ask? The weather? So how's the weather over 1:44:10.040 --> 1:44:10.679 there at the moment. 1:44:11.720 --> 1:44:15.599 Yeah, it's been a bit iffy. If you get one 1:44:15.640 --> 1:44:19.960 of those unbelievably beautiful days of springtime in Paris, you 1:44:20.160 --> 1:44:24.439 cannot better it. And we've had one morning like that, 1:44:24.640 --> 1:44:26.639 but otherwise it's been a little bit of a cast. 1:44:26.720 --> 1:44:29.519 It's been Conditions have been a bit heavy, bit damp. 1:44:29.600 --> 1:44:34.800 There's been one or two interruptions for drizzle, so that's 1:44:34.800 --> 1:44:38.599 sort of exciting. But the forecasters are suggesting the next 1:44:38.800 --> 1:44:41.519 three four days things will start to get a bit warmer. 1:44:42.160 --> 1:44:45.360 Okay, so that's all right. That's uh, that's looking looking 1:44:45.439 --> 1:44:47.760 good for the French Open. Then, Craig, what do you 1:44:47.880 --> 1:44:52.040 do to relax because your job's so good when you 1:44:52.880 --> 1:44:55.000 break away from tennis, Like do you go and watch 1:44:55.040 --> 1:44:58.160 a bit of hockey or something or no no, no. 1:44:58.320 --> 1:44:58.800 No, no no. 1:45:00.800 --> 1:45:00.840 No. 1:45:01.280 --> 1:45:03.720 Look what I if I'm if I get a bit 1:45:03.760 --> 1:45:05.560 of time at it during a tournament and when it 1:45:05.600 --> 1:45:08.679 comes to an event like the French Open, Australian Open, Wimbledon, 1:45:08.720 --> 1:45:12.639 et cetera. There's there is no time in this role. 1:45:13.400 --> 1:45:16.120 The stuff happening all the time. You cannot you can't 1:45:16.200 --> 1:45:21.720 break away. But my interests are antiques. I have a 1:45:21.960 --> 1:45:28.240 collection of Asian art and antiques. So I will, you know, 1:45:28.240 --> 1:45:30.320 if I'm in London, I'll try and make it a 1:45:30.400 --> 1:45:32.200 point of going to one of the auction. 1:45:32.080 --> 1:45:33.040 Houses just to look. 1:45:33.120 --> 1:45:35.599 It's free to get in. And this is a serious 1:45:35.960 --> 1:45:39.280 tip for anybody. You know, you can go to Southbasa 1:45:39.280 --> 1:45:41.439 and go to Christie's. You can go to Phillips or 1:45:41.479 --> 1:45:45.560 Bonhams or wherever and you can wander through their galleries 1:45:45.920 --> 1:45:48.360 and you're up close and personal some of the most 1:45:48.400 --> 1:45:52.960 amazing art, you know. So I'll I'll go through there 1:45:53.000 --> 1:45:55.120 and have a look. Or I love walking down New 1:45:55.200 --> 1:45:58.680 Bond Street. It's a great street. So that's the sort 1:45:58.720 --> 1:46:00.519 of thing I like to try and get a way 1:46:00.600 --> 1:46:03.519 to do. And you know, the theater in London is 1:46:03.680 --> 1:46:05.040 just wonderful. 1:46:05.520 --> 1:46:09.840 Yeah. Absolutely, It's not quite at the level that you 1:46:10.040 --> 1:46:13.400 do Craig, obviously because you go to those auction houses 1:46:13.439 --> 1:46:17.600 with the high end stuff. But I love trawling auction sites. 1:46:17.280 --> 1:46:19.679 Online and absolutely the same. 1:46:20.120 --> 1:46:22.160 And I was I was talking earlier about the fact 1:46:22.160 --> 1:46:25.719 that I came very close to buying a gumball machine, 1:46:26.200 --> 1:46:29.920 a chest high old fashioned gumball machine and a chopper 1:46:29.960 --> 1:46:34.040 chup machine because I just love odd bits and pieces 1:46:34.160 --> 1:46:36.400 like that. So not not so much art for me, 1:46:36.600 --> 1:46:40.760 but but just going to auction houses and stuff is 1:46:40.800 --> 1:46:41.439 a great hobby. 1:46:42.600 --> 1:46:43.200 It really is. 1:46:43.320 --> 1:46:46.360 I mean for me, I grew up in Asia, and 1:46:46.840 --> 1:46:50.360 you know, so I'm totally comfortable in Asia, and that 1:46:50.720 --> 1:46:55.680 developed my appreciation and love of Asian art and and 1:46:56.600 --> 1:47:00.519 you know, porcelain and Chinese blue and white, it's et cetera. 1:47:00.680 --> 1:47:03.600 So you know that that's what got me going on 1:47:03.800 --> 1:47:07.080 on the whole thing. And my parents were were collectors 1:47:07.120 --> 1:47:07.479 as well. 1:47:07.640 --> 1:47:09.519 So just filtered down. 1:47:10.360 --> 1:47:13.799 Have you got anything sitting at home in the laundroom 1:47:13.880 --> 1:47:17.519 on a pedestal that is the centerpiece of your collection? 1:47:21.400 --> 1:47:24.920 No, I wouldn't, not necessarily in that way, but there 1:47:25.000 --> 1:47:29.200 are I could say a few pieces that I'm extremely 1:47:29.320 --> 1:47:29.680 fond of. 1:47:30.479 --> 1:47:33.960 Yeah, nice, Nice. Is there something that's on your list 1:47:34.160 --> 1:47:35.479 that you're you're looking for? 1:47:37.920 --> 1:47:37.960 No? 1:47:38.240 --> 1:47:43.040 I I don't normally go in with that frame of mind. 1:47:43.520 --> 1:47:46.560 If I'm if I go, it's something that will just 1:47:46.640 --> 1:47:51.080 catch my eye because again, you don't know. You know, 1:47:51.120 --> 1:47:53.840 as I'm saying about Alexander Publick, you don't know what 1:47:54.000 --> 1:47:55.760 you're going to come across or what you're going to get. 1:47:56.840 --> 1:47:59.920 So I'm just going with an open mind and you know, 1:48:01.880 --> 1:48:05.960 maybe get lucky. I mean, it's like I was in 1:48:06.600 --> 1:48:09.960 I was in Iran a few years ago, and I 1:48:10.080 --> 1:48:12.880 had a guide there, as you should do if you 1:48:12.920 --> 1:48:15.280 ever go there, because it's it's the best way to 1:48:15.640 --> 1:48:18.720 do things, And he took me to a few of 1:48:18.720 --> 1:48:25.280 the markets and I ended up buying three carpets. It 1:48:25.520 --> 1:48:28.560 just it's just that way. Clocks are another thing, you know, 1:48:29.800 --> 1:48:35.080 some amazing clocks you see, and sometimes I have found 1:48:35.120 --> 1:48:36.400 it very hard to resist. 1:48:37.080 --> 1:48:41.920 Oh that sounds lovely. And I go to auction houses 1:48:41.920 --> 1:48:43.280 and have a look at stuff, but I go there 1:48:43.320 --> 1:48:45.519 with an open mind and an empty wallet, so I 1:48:45.560 --> 1:48:46.160 don't tell. 1:48:46.120 --> 1:48:49.559 It was Yeah, that's what I should. I should definitely 1:48:49.600 --> 1:48:51.280 be leaving the credit cards behind. 1:48:51.960 --> 1:48:54.439 It's the safest way. Yeah, you just never know when 1:48:54.479 --> 1:48:59.519 that impulse purchase happens. It's always a dangerous thing. Craig. 1:48:59.600 --> 1:49:01.680 We've better leave you to it, but thank you for 1:49:01.760 --> 1:49:04.840 the update and interesting chat too about the other side. 1:49:04.920 --> 1:49:06.640 Of Craig Gabriel.

I b M yeah, I minus when 1:50:17.360 --> 1:50:21.479 you get h H A L is one letter earlier 1:50:21.880 --> 1:50:24.080 in each case than I B M. 1:50:25.720 --> 1:50:27.320 Well that's what they played it on. It was like 1:50:27.400 --> 1:50:29.240 a play on on I B M and A hat 1:50:29.240 --> 1:50:31.719 computers taking over the world and with AI and everything. 1:50:31.800 --> 1:50:32.960 Maybe they weren't so wrong. 1:50:35.080 --> 1:50:37.080 They're off. They're off. They're basing it on I B 1:50:37.280 --> 1:50:40.280 M because they know what a basket case IBM ended 1:50:40.360 --> 1:50:44.640 up being in in the sense that they they owned computers. 1:50:44.720 --> 1:50:48.560 The computers was their thing, and they were untouchable, and 1:50:49.000 --> 1:50:50.840 they just lit it all get away from them. 1:50:52.400 --> 1:50:53.479 But it's not anymore. 1:50:53.640 --> 1:50:53.680 No. 1:50:55.840 --> 1:50:59.280 Actually, we've been watching a really good series on Netflix's 1:50:59.320 --> 1:51:02.920 quite funny with Ted Danson rightly sort of appreciated, but 1:51:03.000 --> 1:51:07.280 he plays his pension in a series called Man on 1:51:07.360 --> 1:51:11.479 the Inside, where this young five detective hires this whole 1:51:11.560 --> 1:51:16.080 tension to go into a retirement home and find out 1:51:16.120 --> 1:51:19.400 who's been stealing expensive things. It's actually quite funny. It's 1:51:19.439 --> 1:51:20.000 worth watching. 1:51:20.280 --> 1:51:23.679 Yeah, I've seen the trailer for it. It looks pretty good, 1:51:23.760 --> 1:51:26.880 but as always I'm way behind in my TV viewing, 1:51:27.560 --> 1:51:30.840 so it's something I will watch one day. 1:51:32.280 --> 1:51:34.400 Eight episodes in the first series, I don't have to 1:51:34.439 --> 1:51:36.200 set the second series and in that yet and each 1:51:36.240 --> 1:51:38.720 episode is about twenty five thirty minutes, so you can 1:51:39.800 --> 1:51:41.680 have a little gig good. You can watch it, you 1:51:41.720 --> 1:51:44.120 know you and you feel satisfied and it's not sort 1:51:44.120 --> 1:51:45.880 of taxing and just going on and on and on. 1:51:46.040 --> 1:51:48.679 So you can you can watch a couple of episodes 1:51:48.720 --> 1:51:50.360 at once, so you can space it over a few 1:51:50.439 --> 1:51:52.160 nights or whatever. It's actually quite funny. 1:51:52.360 --> 1:51:54.400 Yeah, well, I'll have to give it a crack when 1:51:54.400 --> 1:51:57.240 I get time. I'm busy at the moment. I'm watching House. 1:51:57.840 --> 1:52:00.840 So that's how which is quite modern for me. It's 1:52:00.880 --> 1:52:03.439 something in the two thousands with mobile phones in it. 1:52:03.520 --> 1:52:07.280 That's that's something I'm not used to in TV shows 1:52:07.320 --> 1:52:07.679 I watch. 1:52:10.040 --> 1:52:10.479 Well do you do? 1:52:10.600 --> 1:52:12.720 He's an iPhone quite well, so, I mean, you know 1:52:13.520 --> 1:52:15.120 it makes sense to you to watch something like that. 1:52:16.479 --> 1:52:20.400 No, I love it because I love him as an actor. 1:52:23.800 --> 1:52:24.320 A doctor. 1:52:24.439 --> 1:52:28.760 He's like he's starts strange, he finds his strength, diagnoses 1:52:28.880 --> 1:52:30.080 or something. That is that the one? 1:52:30.560 --> 1:52:34.080 Yeah, it's what's he what's his name? Who plays House? 1:52:34.920 --> 1:52:40.559 I've forgotten his name. I should Steve hugh Laurie. Hugh Laurie, Sorry, 1:52:40.920 --> 1:52:42.559 I had it took me a while to get there. 1:52:42.920 --> 1:52:47.840 Hugh Laurie plays him, and he's a cranky he hates 1:52:47.880 --> 1:52:51.360 everyone and everything. He's in constant pain because of a 1:52:51.439 --> 1:52:59.640 leg injury. But his ability as a diagnostician is amplified 1:52:59.720 --> 1:53:03.160 by his lack of empathy for any patients. It's just 1:53:03.280 --> 1:53:06.200 all about finding the cure. He doesn't care about the patient. 1:53:06.280 --> 1:53:09.080 He just finds about he cares about solving the puzzle. 1:53:09.680 --> 1:53:12.880 And he's just he's just an amazing actor. I find 1:53:13.600 --> 1:53:17.639 so is a really really loving the series. 1:53:19.360 --> 1:53:21.599 Yeah, it's good. It's lasting to find a series which 1:53:21.720 --> 1:53:26.000 is which is palatable and it draws an audience.

Hi Simon a 1:54:55.240 --> 1:54:57.480 bit of trivia about two thousand and one as Space Odyssey. 1:54:58.160 --> 1:55:00.480 When the movie was released, the biggest computer company in 1:55:00.520 --> 1:55:02.920 the world at the time was IBM. The computer in 1:55:02.960 --> 1:55:05.320 the movie was how and if you add one letter 1:55:05.360 --> 1:55:08.360 to each of the letters h al, you get IBM. 1:55:09.000 --> 1:55:10.720 So thank you for sending it through. He sent that 1:55:10.800 --> 1:55:13.800 through it about twenty minutes ago.

I'm not going to ask you how 1:55:26.360 --> 1:55:29.920 you're doing, because everybody asks that question. 1:55:30.120 --> 1:55:31.360 And I'm still favyous. 1:55:33.200 --> 1:55:36.720 Do you feel little bit lonesome? Without your normal Saturday 1:55:36.880 --> 1:55:38.560 Night's cast of Tha thousands? 1:55:39.080 --> 1:55:41.480 It's a very different show, And I was saying to Jay, 1:55:42.600 --> 1:55:44.520 I love what I do on a Saturday night. For 1:55:44.560 --> 1:55:46.880 those listening through five, double A and six PM, my 1:55:47.320 --> 1:55:51.160 Saturday night show is sort of wall to wall segment. 1:55:51.280 --> 1:55:53.480 You go from segment to segment because it's a weekly 1:55:53.600 --> 1:55:57.560 show and that's sort of necessary there. But to do 1:55:57.760 --> 1:56:00.840 midnight to dawn is a very different, diferent style of 1:56:00.920 --> 1:56:04.040 show where I just get to freewheel. I come in, 1:56:04.360 --> 1:56:06.080 I've got a list in front of me of things 1:56:06.120 --> 1:56:08.200 that I want to bring up, but if I don't 1:56:08.240 --> 1:56:10.840 bring them up because we've got calls, I just like 1:56:10.960 --> 1:56:14.560 free wheeling with the callers. So I really love the 1:56:15.000 --> 1:56:17.880 openness of this show. And so I've said to Jay, 1:56:17.920 --> 1:56:20.120 it's been four months since I've done it, and I've 1:56:20.200 --> 1:56:22.680 really missed just the free wheeling nature of this. 1:56:24.440 --> 1:56:28.160 Now you're asking about strange things that we used to 1:56:28.240 --> 1:56:33.520 put money into. Yes, in the mid fifties, my parents 1:56:33.680 --> 1:56:38.080 decided to get teas and of course they rolled back 1:56:38.120 --> 1:56:41.800 and white in those days, and we came across this 1:56:42.000 --> 1:56:47.160 thing called a webray TV, which it made it very 1:56:47.200 --> 1:56:49.440 easy for people to pay off because they've had a 1:56:49.600 --> 1:56:53.720 coin in the slot arrangement. Yeah, you'd be you'd be 1:56:53.800 --> 1:56:57.000 watching a good show and it'd get to an exciting 1:56:57.120 --> 1:57:00.360 bit and the next minute TV would turn itself foth 1:57:00.840 --> 1:57:03.760 and there'd be a mad scramble around to find some 1:57:04.000 --> 1:57:07.840 coin to shove into the back of it. Well, fortunately 1:57:08.000 --> 1:57:12.400 for us, after a while, the mechanism packed up, so 1:57:12.600 --> 1:57:14.720 the people who used to just come to get the 1:57:14.800 --> 1:57:17.560 coins out of the back of the machine just came 1:57:17.680 --> 1:57:21.320 round and collected ordinary money office. And that's how we 1:57:21.520 --> 1:57:23.120 paid our first TV set. 1:57:23.560 --> 1:57:26.760 Isn't that amazing? So you could you could actually get 1:57:26.800 --> 1:57:31.160 a television set, but it was coin operated and that's 1:57:31.200 --> 1:57:34.720 how you paid it off. That's it was a great concept, 1:57:34.880 --> 1:57:35.120 wasn't it. 1:57:36.120 --> 1:57:36.600 That was? 1:57:36.760 --> 1:57:41.080 And I don't know whether this is true, but I 1:57:41.400 --> 1:57:44.600 was told at one stage that the web rays were 1:57:44.640 --> 1:57:48.200 a Hinds TV in other words, they'd bits and pieces 1:57:48.240 --> 1:57:50.080 of every other band inside them. 1:57:50.760 --> 1:57:53.160 Okay, yeah, yeah, and. 1:57:54.080 --> 1:57:57.320 They were around for a while. I think my favorite 1:57:57.360 --> 1:58:01.920 thing was they remember of it was that when they 1:58:02.000 --> 1:58:05.840 came out to demonstrate it, they had a screwdriver in 1:58:05.960 --> 1:58:08.720 one hand and a hammer in the other and tried 1:58:08.760 --> 1:58:11.440 to bash the screen and of course it didn't crack. 1:58:12.680 --> 1:58:15.680 No, the big demonstration. How tough it was. 1:58:16.960 --> 1:58:22.080 Yes, and I think really things in the old those 1:58:22.120 --> 1:58:25.520 were possibly more reliable than what they are now. 1:58:26.080 --> 1:58:26.360 I know. 1:58:28.000 --> 1:58:32.640 Household fridge that went for about thirty years before I 1:58:32.800 --> 1:58:33.400 replaced it. 1:58:34.080 --> 1:58:38.200 Yeah. Yeah, Look, there's good and bad in what we 1:58:38.320 --> 1:58:42.880 have now. TV is now so much cheaper, so much better, 1:58:43.400 --> 1:58:46.800 and so much cheaper to run because LEDs don't cost 1:58:46.840 --> 1:58:49.680 anything near you know, they don't use anywhere near the 1:58:49.760 --> 1:58:56.440 electricity that the old cathode ray tubes used, So TV's 1:58:56.480 --> 1:58:58.960 are much better now for that. But it also makes 1:58:59.000 --> 1:59:02.320 them disposable. When something goes wrong with your teally, you 1:59:02.400 --> 1:59:05.280 don't fix it, you just get another one, which is 1:59:05.400 --> 1:59:08.520 something I don't like. And that's the that's the bad 1:59:08.640 --> 1:59:11.440 part of society now is the disposableness of everything. 1:59:13.080 --> 1:59:18.400 I've got a plasma and the plasma's about eighteen years old. Yeah, 1:59:18.800 --> 1:59:22.920 it still runs perfectly. I've had to put a set 1:59:23.000 --> 1:59:25.680 top box on it to get all the other channels. Yes, 1:59:26.160 --> 1:59:30.800 but I touch word. I haven't had anything go wrong. 1:59:30.640 --> 1:59:32.160 With it in the eighteen years. 1:59:32.520 --> 1:59:35.480 Well, now that you've now that you've said, that bound 1:59:35.600 --> 1:59:41.280 to happen, So look forward to hearing the update. Thank you, Bob. 1:59:41.320 --> 1:59:42.960 I've got to break, We've got to get another one 1:59:43.040 --> 1:59:45.600 in before news, but thanks for the call. Well are 1:59:45.640 --> 1:59:47.720 we coming up to news time? That would make it 1:59:48.480 --> 1:59:51.800 a minute to one in Perth, almost half past two 1:59:51.800 --> 1:59:55.879 in Adelaide and almost three o'clock in Melbourne and anywhere 1:59:55.880 --> 1:59:59.400 else wherever you are. Yeah, check your own phone and 1:59:59.680 --> 2:00:02.200 I out what time it is for you. Gabriel Hodson's 2:00:02.240 --> 2:00:04.280 in the newsroom. She's going to bring us to the 2:00:04.320 --> 2:00:06.120 bulletin and then she's got a story she wants to 2:00:06.200 --> 2:00:08.480 expand on. On the other side of that, we've also 2:00:08.560 --> 2:00:10.400 got chicken man I think coming up in the next 2:00:10.480 --> 2:00:13.440 hour the cereal as well, and more of your calls. 2:00:13.520 --> 2:00:15.440 Keep them coming, won double three six nine three are 2:00:15.440 --> 2:00:16.600 wonderbul three eight eighty two. 2:00:20.960 --> 2:00:25.200 Now this is Australia Urban Eyed with Simon Owens. 2:00:28.360 --> 2:00:31.280 It's a seven after one in Perth, it's twenty three 2:00:31.400 --> 2:00:34.360 to three in Adelaide, and in Melbourne it's a seven 2:00:34.440 --> 2:00:38.080 after three. We'll get back to your call shortly, Steven Meredith. 2:00:38.200 --> 2:00:40.720 If you'll hang on, we will get to you very soon. 2:00:40.880 --> 2:00:43.360 Chicken Man also coming up in this next quarter hour. 2:00:43.800 --> 2:00:46.600 But first, Gabriel Hodson has joined us from the newsroom. 2:00:46.640 --> 2:00:48.200 Hey Gabe, how are you look? 2:00:48.240 --> 2:00:49.880 Some stories you just can't make up? 2:00:50.320 --> 2:00:51.160 No, what have you got for? 2:00:51.360 --> 2:00:58.400 Okay, a wind turbine the court fire and has self extinguished. Wonderful, 2:00:59.640 --> 2:01:02.200 But but there's a there's a catch. It's fled up again. 2:01:03.160 --> 2:01:06.280 Firefighters I think this scratching their heads wondering how do 2:01:06.320 --> 2:01:09.200 you put this thing out? It hasn't burnt any grass 2:01:09.240 --> 2:01:13.280 of vegetation, I must add. It's at the Bulgana wind farm, 2:01:13.360 --> 2:01:16.560 which is our rout area. Yeah, great Western that that 2:01:16.640 --> 2:01:19.680 sort of area. Now at first fled up around nine 2:01:19.800 --> 2:01:24.720 last night, you know, it blew out flared up again 2:01:24.800 --> 2:01:28.360 around two. So I believe there's about three fire units 2:01:28.400 --> 2:01:32.360 out there at the moment. The wind out there at 2:01:32.360 --> 2:01:34.400 the moment is about forty to fifty k's an. 2:01:34.320 --> 2:01:38.040 Hour, is that strong, strong issue. 2:01:38.480 --> 2:01:38.680 Yeah. 2:01:38.880 --> 2:01:41.000 Yeah, it's enough to fan the mine light. 2:01:41.760 --> 2:01:41.960 Yeah. 2:01:42.880 --> 2:01:46.800 But I'll tell you what I'd see this. 2:01:48.240 --> 2:01:52.560 I've never actually seen a wind turbine in real life. 2:01:52.960 --> 2:01:53.720 Are you serious? 2:01:54.200 --> 2:01:54.560 Serious? 2:01:54.960 --> 2:01:55.880 Just drive up the west. 2:01:56.840 --> 2:02:00.520 There's none in Balwin where I live, so I wouldn't 2:02:00.520 --> 2:02:04.040 see one. There's none between the eastern suburbs of Melbourne 2:02:04.040 --> 2:02:04.520 and the city. 2:02:04.640 --> 2:02:07.640 Do you own a telescope or really good set of glasses, 2:02:08.400 --> 2:02:11.840 like a binoculars. Go down to Frankston, stand on the 2:02:11.920 --> 2:02:15.520 beach aim at across the bay. You will see the 2:02:16.960 --> 2:02:20.880 you Low South wind Farm, which is sort of in 2:02:20.920 --> 2:02:25.160 the Brisbane Ranges. It's beyond backus Marsh, but you can 2:02:25.200 --> 2:02:28.880 see it from Frankston. It is incredible. That's probably the 2:02:28.960 --> 2:02:32.320 closest to Melbourne, I'd say, but they're everywhere. 2:02:32.360 --> 2:02:34.080 Now, Well, I wonder what the I wonder what the 2:02:34.280 --> 2:02:35.600 height is of these things. 2:02:36.640 --> 2:02:41.200 It just depends. The newer ones are enormous. We're talking mcg. 2:02:41.800 --> 2:02:44.080 Light light tower. 2:02:44.440 --> 2:02:48.600 Yeah it was over fifty I think. Don't quote me. 2:02:48.600 --> 2:02:54.040 On that, but how did like there's a motor in 2:02:54.120 --> 2:02:57.240 them obviously that when the wind turns it it's it's 2:02:57.480 --> 2:02:59.600 got a little motor that generates the electricity. 2:02:59.640 --> 2:03:04.040 I guess there's all different terminology, you know, words for 2:03:04.440 --> 2:03:07.680 the different parts. The turbine is actually kind of the engine. 2:03:08.680 --> 2:03:10.879 You've got the blade, you've got to think called the nassel. 2:03:10.960 --> 2:03:14.640 You've got the tower itself. But how the heck do 2:03:14.680 --> 2:03:18.400 you get up there to ask? Is it like, is 2:03:18.480 --> 2:03:21.480 the there's a ladder in the middle or something. 2:03:22.320 --> 2:03:24.560 Do you do you scale the outside of it? Or 2:03:24.680 --> 2:03:26.240 is there a little door at the bottom and it's 2:03:26.320 --> 2:03:28.640 like a lighthouse. You've got the windy stairs going all 2:03:28.640 --> 2:03:29.000 the way out. 2:03:29.200 --> 2:03:34.600 I reckon. I reckon the biggest, the biggest aerial fire appliance, 2:03:34.680 --> 2:03:38.240 you know, with the stretchy ladders. Extendable ladders is the 2:03:38.280 --> 2:03:38.880 word I'm looking for. 2:03:39.400 --> 2:03:39.440 That. 2:03:39.560 --> 2:03:44.240 They would never reach the height of this, So I 2:03:44.320 --> 2:03:45.920 think all you can do is just let it burn 2:03:46.040 --> 2:03:49.960 out anyway. Look, I hope no one gets heard. 2:03:50.200 --> 2:03:53.800 There's a fire fifty meters above the earth and it's 2:03:53.920 --> 2:03:57.400 just a wind. It's just up there in a tower. 2:03:59.320 --> 2:04:03.000 Tort Yeah, exactly. There's no point trying to hose it down. 2:04:03.360 --> 2:04:05.520 Oh gee, you wouldn't even reach, would you. You've just 2:04:05.560 --> 2:04:06.360 got to pray for rain. 2:04:06.560 --> 2:04:09.520 Rain, Yeah, that's what we need. Yeah, God can deal 2:04:09.560 --> 2:04:11.400 with it. That's I think. 2:04:11.520 --> 2:04:14.320 So it's kind of it's on a massive scale. It's 2:04:14.360 --> 2:04:17.000 on that sort of scale. Now I'm just looking at 2:04:17.040 --> 2:04:18.240 something that's come up on the computer. 2:04:18.360 --> 2:04:18.520 Here. 2:04:19.600 --> 2:04:22.520 Average hub height these days is about one hundred and 2:04:22.720 --> 2:04:28.320 fifty meters. One hundred and fifty fifty meters. Blades are 2:04:28.360 --> 2:04:33.360 forty to ninety meters long. Ninety meters. That doesn't forty meters. 2:04:33.360 --> 2:04:33.840 I believe. 2:04:34.320 --> 2:04:35.880 I saw one in a paddock the other day on 2:04:35.960 --> 2:04:41.800 the ground. They were building one down near rocod But yeah, 2:04:41.920 --> 2:04:45.480 they're just enormous. So you need to do yourself a favor. 2:04:46.120 --> 2:04:48.840 Just go down South Kippsland Western Highway any of those 2:04:49.200 --> 2:04:52.520 binoculars and you won't need binoculars. They're pretty close to 2:04:52.600 --> 2:04:52.920 the road. 2:04:53.160 --> 2:04:53.360 Yeah. 2:04:53.480 --> 2:04:59.680 Yeah, I'm just I'm staggered. So I don't know anything 2:05:00.520 --> 2:05:05.680 I have. I'm not into the whole coal versus natural 2:05:05.760 --> 2:05:10.200 things and wind farms and solar and I don't care 2:05:10.280 --> 2:05:12.400 what they do as long as as long as we 2:05:12.520 --> 2:05:16.360 have electricity. And I assume people are always studying these 2:05:16.400 --> 2:05:19.040 things so that the best decisions can be made, And 2:05:19.480 --> 2:05:22.280 so I don't care about all those debates. I'd never 2:05:22.320 --> 2:05:25.120 get involved in those. But I am curious in the 2:05:25.200 --> 2:05:31.760 thought that how much electricity can be generated by something 2:05:31.960 --> 2:05:38.120 like that as opposed to the cost of building something 2:05:38.200 --> 2:05:41.320 that huge anchoring it to the ground, Like how much 2:05:41.440 --> 2:05:45.000 concrete would it take to root one of those firmly 2:05:45.040 --> 2:05:47.040 in the ground so that a light breeze doesn't just 2:05:47.080 --> 2:05:48.240 blow it over a lot? 2:05:48.920 --> 2:05:49.600 So is it? 2:05:50.720 --> 2:05:53.720 And I'm not doing Please don't anyone ever think that 2:05:53.760 --> 2:05:55.880 I'm doing this to be in any way political, because 2:05:55.920 --> 2:05:58.160 I wouldn't even know which parties in favor and which 2:05:58.160 --> 2:06:02.160 parties against it. I don't know, don't care. But is it? 2:06:03.200 --> 2:06:06.360 Is it that good an idea? If we have to 2:06:06.480 --> 2:06:09.640 use that much concrete, that much material, is it worth it? 2:06:09.880 --> 2:06:11.760 I guess it must be. If countries all over the 2:06:11.800 --> 2:06:14.760 world are doing it, well, it. 2:06:15.360 --> 2:06:18.280 Gets a lot of government funding support that sort of thing. 2:06:20.160 --> 2:06:24.560 They are popping up everywhere. I guess one thing that's 2:06:24.600 --> 2:06:26.960 not fact it is the damage to the roads. You're 2:06:27.000 --> 2:06:30.360 dealing with things that are hundreds of tons to get 2:06:30.400 --> 2:06:35.880 it down a little very fragile bitumen country road. It's 2:06:35.960 --> 2:06:38.760 going to destroy it. It's not a thick lit it's 2:06:38.840 --> 2:06:42.720 not a free ways of tark. Yeah, yeah, it absolutely 2:06:42.760 --> 2:06:46.760 destroys these roads and some of the other infrastructure too, 2:06:46.920 --> 2:06:50.360 so you know you've got to fix up that damage 2:06:50.400 --> 2:06:54.160 in its way. So that's an added cost. And a 2:06:54.200 --> 2:06:57.200 lot of communities they say, look, you're sticking this thing 2:06:57.280 --> 2:07:00.280 in our backyard. It's killing all the birds. What benfit 2:07:00.480 --> 2:07:03.120 is in it for us? We won't get cheaper electricity? 2:07:03.320 --> 2:07:04.720 Can birds not see it coming? 2:07:04.920 --> 2:07:04.960 Like? 2:07:05.240 --> 2:07:06.320 It kills a lot of birds? 2:07:06.400 --> 2:07:06.800 Trust me? 2:07:06.920 --> 2:07:09.880 Yeah it does, it does. But you know, is there 2:07:09.960 --> 2:07:15.440 a who's standing up for the birds? Also another thing 2:07:15.480 --> 2:07:18.920 with wind farms is the I know all this because 2:07:18.920 --> 2:07:23.600 I live near a few, but the company has to 2:07:23.760 --> 2:07:27.880 keep bird strike statistics. But you think about it. A 2:07:27.920 --> 2:07:30.080 bird's hit by a turbine, falls to the ground, a 2:07:30.120 --> 2:07:34.640 fox will get it. Well, it's still warm. So if 2:07:35.040 --> 2:07:38.200 people are going around once a fortnight, once a month 2:07:38.320 --> 2:07:41.160 looking for dead birds, they would them all yeah. 2:07:41.120 --> 2:07:41.880 Yeah, yeah. 2:07:42.320 --> 2:07:45.280 So you just notice a natural decline in things like 2:07:46.080 --> 2:07:46.960 wedge tailed eagles. 2:07:47.680 --> 2:07:49.880 Oh that's sad. Eagles are beautiful, Oh. 2:07:49.880 --> 2:07:53.960 They are they are your Like South Wind Farm that 2:07:54.040 --> 2:07:57.120 I just noticed was one of the best places in 2:07:57.280 --> 2:07:59.840 Victoria to see wedgetailed eagle. You could go up there 2:08:00.760 --> 2:08:03.640 and if you look carefully, you could probably see five 2:08:03.760 --> 2:08:07.520 or six within fifteen minutes, but that's not the case now. 2:08:08.480 --> 2:08:13.680 So how it's very difficult to get the statistics out 2:08:13.720 --> 2:08:15.840 of these companies. They don't have to release it, and 2:08:15.920 --> 2:08:17.840 I can see why they wouldn't, but. 2:08:19.480 --> 2:08:19.840 I don't know. 2:08:20.200 --> 2:08:22.600 I feel a bit funny when people say, oh, they're 2:08:22.640 --> 2:08:25.480 majestic and they're beautiful, that these wind farms, I'm not 2:08:26.560 --> 2:08:32.800 so sure. There's two sides to it. You know, it's renewableandergy, 2:08:32.880 --> 2:08:35.640 that's great, but there's another side to it too. 2:08:35.800 --> 2:08:38.240 So yeah, it's all interesting. 2:08:38.600 --> 2:08:43.680 Yeah, this self extinguishing fire. Let's hope it self extinguishers again, 2:08:44.560 --> 2:08:47.960 and these poor firefighters can go home and have a 2:08:48.040 --> 2:08:49.720 good sleep, well earned rest. 2:08:50.120 --> 2:08:53.160 And I wonder if that tower would then have to 2:08:53.240 --> 2:08:57.040 be taken down or whether they can just pop the 2:08:57.080 --> 2:08:59.520 old engine out and wack a new one in turbine 2:08:59.600 --> 2:08:59.840 or whatever. 2:09:00.040 --> 2:09:02.560 I think they would wait for it to burn out 2:09:02.640 --> 2:09:06.480 and then look, I don't know, I don't know is 2:09:06.520 --> 2:09:08.600 it fixable. You know, if it's on fire, there's obviously 2:09:08.600 --> 2:09:12.200 a serious problem. I believe they've got pretty good technology 2:09:12.280 --> 2:09:15.080 to turn themselves off if there's a problem, like super 2:09:15.160 --> 2:09:18.960 strong wind or any issues like this. But I can't 2:09:19.000 --> 2:09:22.240 confirm if it has stopped whirling around you, so. 2:09:22.320 --> 2:09:26.200 Yeah, it might still be spinning from the wind. Yeah, yeah, 2:09:26.720 --> 2:09:28.960 turning the blades. But yeah, there you go, fire at 2:09:29.000 --> 2:09:32.600 a wind farm fifty meters off the ground at least 2:09:32.680 --> 2:09:35.800 something like that. Yeah, and what the hell do we 2:09:35.880 --> 2:09:38.600 do there? Yeah? Fascinating. 2:09:39.440 --> 2:09:40.760 You can't make it up, honestly. 2:09:41.200 --> 2:09:44.400 How's everything else going. You're enjoying doing the overnight shift? 2:09:44.640 --> 2:09:47.160 Yeah, yeah, I've been doing it for it's almost eighteen 2:09:47.200 --> 2:09:51.840 months now, I think. Yeah, it's interesting you you feel 2:09:51.880 --> 2:09:54.400 like you're the only journo on deck anywhere in Ali. 2:09:54.720 --> 2:09:58.320 I'm not sure what the ABC does much. Yeah, there's 2:09:58.360 --> 2:10:02.080 some pretty good breaking news stories some so yeah, it's 2:10:02.760 --> 2:10:04.160 it's an honor to be covering them. 2:10:04.200 --> 2:10:06.280 I guess I've always wondered, do we have a hotline 2:10:06.920 --> 2:10:12.360 that people ring like they if they ring us? That's 2:10:12.440 --> 2:10:14.839 one thing, and we talk about normally. 2:10:15.320 --> 2:10:20.360 Normally we get tips through the talkback line. Yeah, so 2:10:20.480 --> 2:10:22.320 you know there'll be a bit of communication, Hey Gabe, 2:10:22.360 --> 2:10:24.520 did you hear about this? And we'll chase it up. 2:10:24.600 --> 2:10:29.480 And yeah, not every service is around it, you know. 2:10:29.920 --> 2:10:32.320 One two three in the morning. But you do what 2:10:32.400 --> 2:10:36.240 you can while you can, so yeah, but yeah, it's good, 2:10:36.560 --> 2:10:40.800 it's good, it's it's it's good to have a small 2:10:40.880 --> 2:10:41.320 team too. 2:10:42.080 --> 2:10:42.280 Yeah. 2:10:42.360 --> 2:10:43.960 Yeah, you get to know each other a bit better 2:10:44.000 --> 2:10:45.600 and yeah, loving it's nice. 2:10:45.920 --> 2:10:47.960 All right. Well, good to see you you too, thanks 2:10:48.000 --> 2:10:50.560 for popping in. Thank you, and yeah, keep it, keep 2:10:50.640 --> 2:10:52.880 us up to date as you do as you do 2:10:53.040 --> 2:10:57.160 so well, it's Gabriel Hodson from the news room. Chicken 2:10:57.240 --> 2:10:59.560 Man now ahead of the break and then it's back 2:10:59.560 --> 2:11:04.000 to your court. And Steve has called from Canning Vale. Hey, Steve, Hey, 2:11:04.000 --> 2:11:04.600 you go, mate. 2:11:05.160 --> 2:11:11.640 I'm just calling through about the black Cockatoo's mate, the 2:11:11.880 --> 2:11:14.760 black cocky mate a bit to do with the Canning 2:11:14.880 --> 2:11:18.520 River mate sort of ranging a bit worried about him 2:11:18.640 --> 2:11:22.480 at the moment. The carnabies, the bodines and the red 2:11:22.560 --> 2:11:25.720 tails sort of had a bit of a crossis at 2:11:25.760 --> 2:11:26.080 the moment. 2:11:26.160 --> 2:11:26.360 Mate. 2:11:28.080 --> 2:11:32.920 A lot of the habitat has been destroyed and up 2:11:32.960 --> 2:11:35.200 in the Darling Ranges we've got a lot of the 2:11:36.520 --> 2:11:42.440 box sipe mines taking over. So there's yeah, there's not 2:11:42.480 --> 2:11:46.560 a lot of habitat left. They've got a lot of 2:11:47.400 --> 2:11:50.800 you know, native trees that have been just mowed down, 2:11:51.040 --> 2:11:55.400 and if you look at the native sites where they 2:11:55.400 --> 2:12:00.240 have been roosting in the last fifty years, it's just 2:12:00.360 --> 2:12:06.600 gone down significantly, significantly, and there's just there's. 2:12:06.440 --> 2:12:07.280 No more room for them. 2:12:08.360 --> 2:12:12.360 The bodines at the moment, I've got about fifteen thousand 2:12:12.480 --> 2:12:18.240 or less, the red towels probably about twenty thousand. I 2:12:18.360 --> 2:12:21.280 think the carnobies are about one hundred thousand, and yeah, 2:12:21.640 --> 2:12:26.160 it's becoming a problem. The Nangareth Forest was once a 2:12:26.520 --> 2:12:33.960 massive roosting zoned for them, but several years have gone 2:12:34.000 --> 2:12:37.600 by and I think the one of the state governments 2:12:38.200 --> 2:12:44.400 put through a proposal where the where the Nangareth State 2:12:44.480 --> 2:12:49.040 Forest because the carnobies and all the red tails and 2:12:49.080 --> 2:12:55.000 stuff were eating all the pine cones, so that's what 2:12:55.120 --> 2:12:58.160 they were roosting there. And because the actual pine forest 2:12:58.280 --> 2:13:02.360 was dropping the water table around the area, so they've 2:13:03.520 --> 2:13:07.160 they're no longer replanting them, so that's that's going to 2:13:07.240 --> 2:13:11.920 be no longer a place for them to roost. So yeah, 2:13:12.000 --> 2:13:15.600 I'm just worried. What do you think those. 2:13:15.760 --> 2:13:19.280 Black cockatoos and things are just the most gorgeous animals. 2:13:19.600 --> 2:13:23.760 I think they're fabulous and if the populations are in decline, 2:13:24.840 --> 2:13:28.480 surely you know the Department of Environment Sustainability or that. 2:13:29.880 --> 2:13:33.560 I just don't get why these things can happen where 2:13:34.000 --> 2:13:37.760 their habitat gets butchered. When you know, we hear about 2:13:39.280 --> 2:13:41.920 a freeway not being built because of a frog or something. 2:13:42.920 --> 2:13:46.400 So there are people who stand up for things and 2:13:47.040 --> 2:13:53.040 processes in place to protect you endangered species, and that 2:13:53.160 --> 2:13:56.320 works quite well, but not obviously all the time. Some things, 2:13:56.440 --> 2:14:00.560 somehow just just to slip, slip under the radar, as 2:14:00.600 --> 2:14:03.720 it were. I just don't understand why when. 2:14:03.640 --> 2:14:06.000 That sound of the black cocky does go, you know, 2:14:06.160 --> 2:14:10.440 that iconic sound, you know, and it's only of the 2:14:10.600 --> 2:14:14.720 south east of Waw. You hear that, and it's iconic. 2:14:14.880 --> 2:14:18.480 And until that's gone, I think people are aren't going 2:14:18.560 --> 2:14:21.320 to realize, you know, until that sound is gone and 2:14:21.440 --> 2:14:21.800 it just. 2:14:21.920 --> 2:14:22.760 Reminds you of home. 2:14:22.920 --> 2:14:27.640 But I just you know, if people just plant something 2:14:27.760 --> 2:14:31.240 as little as a macedonium plant, do you know how 2:14:31.320 --> 2:14:34.040 much protein that is for a black cock or two? 2:14:34.720 --> 2:14:40.360 Is as much of as about three three hundred of 2:14:40.480 --> 2:14:41.480 those banks your seeds? 2:14:42.320 --> 2:14:42.760 Is that right? 2:14:42.800 --> 2:14:44.960 And that's a native that is dead? 2:14:45.080 --> 2:14:45.200 Right? 2:14:45.360 --> 2:14:45.560 Mate? 2:14:46.680 --> 2:14:53.000 Just planting one Macedonia plant. It may take whatever hundred 2:14:53.160 --> 2:14:55.800 you know, one hundred years ago, but that's going to 2:14:55.840 --> 2:14:58.480 help us. And I just want to put the message 2:14:58.480 --> 2:15:02.520 out there to everyone just planting naty plants, and please 2:15:02.720 --> 2:15:05.920 a lot of the blackhopple do there. They really are there, 2:15:06.280 --> 2:15:07.200 under spressed them. 2:15:08.720 --> 2:15:11.560 Well, and they shouldn't be. That's a great call, Steve, 2:15:11.640 --> 2:15:14.720 and good on you for ringing in and drawing attention 2:15:14.880 --> 2:15:19.520 to it. If that results in just a handful of 2:15:19.560 --> 2:15:23.080 people going out and planting some native Australian trees, then 2:15:23.160 --> 2:15:25.160 it's at least it's a step in the right direction. 2:15:25.320 --> 2:15:29.200 I appreciate the call, Thank you, Steve. And yet black cockatoos, 2:15:29.240 --> 2:15:32.320 I just I just love them. They're just stunning animals 2:15:33.040 --> 2:15:38.080 and eagles and things as well. Just I just love 2:15:38.600 --> 2:15:40.320 I love birds. I should be a bird watcher, a 2:15:40.400 --> 2:15:43.800 twitter I think there is what they're called. That's a hobby. 2:15:44.400 --> 2:15:46.320 Maybe I'll get into that now that I'm getting old. 2:15:47.200 --> 2:15:50.760 Could be the way forward. Thanks for the call. Meredith's 2:15:50.760 --> 2:15:54.680 in Adelaide home. Meredith, so a long time. 2:15:54.800 --> 2:15:56.760 I'm going to talk to you on the other side. 2:15:57.400 --> 2:15:58.520 Yes, how have you been? 2:16:00.120 --> 2:16:00.760 Not too bad? 2:16:01.280 --> 2:16:01.680 Too bad? 2:16:02.400 --> 2:16:06.360 I live on the road, and nothing like works at 2:16:06.440 --> 2:16:06.880 the front. 2:16:07.720 --> 2:16:10.280 I'm with you on roadwork.

How are you doing, Shane? 2:19:36.920 --> 2:19:37.560 Yeah, you're saying the. 2:19:37.600 --> 2:19:38.920 Well mate, good, thank you? 2:19:40.240 --> 2:19:41.600 Yeah, the big one with the birds. 2:19:41.640 --> 2:19:43.480 Look, you know, you know my We know the work 2:19:43.560 --> 2:19:46.320 I do for about twenty eight years now and I've 2:19:46.360 --> 2:19:48.120 been very blessed in this country to be able to 2:19:48.160 --> 2:19:51.320 do the work, but very it's very responsible work. And 2:19:52.440 --> 2:19:54.800 you know about many years ago, I was always going 2:19:54.879 --> 2:19:56.760 to behavior because I was growing I grew up in 2:19:57.200 --> 2:20:00.760 a very dynamic social system that was changed dramatic from 2:20:00.800 --> 2:20:04.440 a and my field is behavioral sciences. So I have 2:20:04.560 --> 2:20:09.280 been looking at progressive social psychological conditioning for many years now, 2:20:09.360 --> 2:20:12.560 Simon about twenty eight years. You a little one Horse 2:20:12.680 --> 2:20:15.039 charity is federally registered, believe it or not, Thank God 2:20:15.120 --> 2:20:17.800 to the federal government allowing that to happen. And I've 2:20:17.840 --> 2:20:21.480 been involved in men shared use, suicide programs, environmental programs, 2:20:22.000 --> 2:20:25.000 any programs that you can see in the society. I've been, 2:20:25.320 --> 2:20:28.160 We have been, there's a few of us, but I've 2:20:28.200 --> 2:20:30.959 been in the public officer in regards to really trying 2:20:31.040 --> 2:20:34.600 to make generations in a better environment than we see 2:20:35.440 --> 2:20:39.760 really evolving. And it's a progressive problem with civilizations. And 2:20:39.840 --> 2:20:43.519 I won't go too deep into the generational social psychological 2:20:43.600 --> 2:20:48.000 conditioning of our foreign corporatized system, but the byproduct of 2:20:48.200 --> 2:20:51.360 the social system we're in, which is now morphing into 2:20:51.440 --> 2:20:56.720 more of an oligarchic finn Satellite oligarchic system, the environment 2:20:57.040 --> 2:21:02.760 decays dramatically, and being the Mornington Peninsular for sixty six years, 2:21:03.040 --> 2:21:05.640 I was blessed enough. Even though you know, someone might 2:21:05.680 --> 2:21:08.080 be a ten year younger than me, they didn't see 2:21:08.120 --> 2:21:11.880 the significant changes that I was. You know, I saw, 2:21:12.360 --> 2:21:15.039 and even probably someone ten years older than me. If 2:21:15.120 --> 2:21:17.360 you can find someone who's pretty cognitive, they'd say the 2:21:17.440 --> 2:21:20.720 same thing. But it was quite dramatic. These stages that 2:21:20.840 --> 2:21:25.000 were dramatic for any civilization within a social system because 2:21:25.040 --> 2:21:28.720 of the modern technological vehicle we were on, you know, 2:21:28.800 --> 2:21:33.840 the machinery, the advancements in computerized technologies and the other 2:21:33.959 --> 2:21:39.000 aspects of human beings evolving within a social system. And 2:21:39.120 --> 2:21:44.040 the dramatic problem is we've got an incredible threat to 2:21:44.160 --> 2:21:48.440 the natural ecosystem that's going totally blinded by our political parties. 2:21:49.400 --> 2:21:51.480 I look at the Greens part and I go, my god, 2:21:51.520 --> 2:21:53.800 they've even got the cheek to have a you know, 2:21:53.879 --> 2:21:57.840 this is my observation to have this perception on some 2:21:58.040 --> 2:22:00.600 sort of respect for the environment, where when not seeing it. 2:22:01.920 --> 2:22:04.560 If you don't see the incredible loss of insects and 2:22:04.680 --> 2:22:09.000 the birds and the animals within this social system that 2:22:09.080 --> 2:22:12.120 we're in, then I would say for them to really 2:22:12.240 --> 2:22:16.280 pay attention for future generations well being. It's crucial for 2:22:16.320 --> 2:22:21.199 any civilization to have an ecological system it's reasonably sound 2:22:21.360 --> 2:22:26.240 and considered to be important for future generations. That is 2:22:26.320 --> 2:22:30.759 not happening in this country, and it is being blinded. 2:22:31.440 --> 2:22:33.959 Okay, thank you Shane. Good point. I think well made, 2:22:34.480 --> 2:22:37.480 and keep up the great work you do. I appreciate 2:22:37.520 --> 2:22:39.920 the call. Good to hear from you. Bob's in Brisbane, 2:22:39.959 --> 2:22:42.640 Hi Bob, how are you? Yeah? Good? 2:22:43.680 --> 2:22:46.880 A couple of things I'd like to say A big 2:22:46.920 --> 2:22:50.200 oli to me best mate Neil. He's traveling from Sydney 2:22:50.240 --> 2:22:54.879 to Melbourne and I'm traveling out the Brisbane to Charleble 2:22:55.360 --> 2:23:00.120 so we keep in contact and I know I know 2:23:00.240 --> 2:23:05.400 he's listening because he'll ring me straight after this. The 2:23:05.520 --> 2:23:07.600 other thing is that he's my best mate and I 2:23:07.640 --> 2:23:11.080 love him. The other thing you're talking about wind turbines 2:23:11.520 --> 2:23:14.320 coming out of Brisbane. A couple of weeks ago there 2:23:14.400 --> 2:23:18.920 was one I just passed, three big loads. They sort 2:23:18.959 --> 2:23:21.279 of take up the whole highway out on the Warrigo 2:23:21.360 --> 2:23:25.600 out the west. And this morning, and a couple of 2:23:25.640 --> 2:23:28.440 weeks ago one got horn under the bridge on the 2:23:28.520 --> 2:23:31.640 main highway three days. 2:23:34.760 --> 2:23:35.000 Yeah. 2:23:35.120 --> 2:23:38.000 Yeah, part of it was, yeah, they obviously they do 2:23:38.080 --> 2:23:41.200 it in parts, and this part. If we've got this 2:23:41.320 --> 2:23:44.400 truck go over, we've got to take the exit to 2:23:44.520 --> 2:23:47.920 go over the overpass and then back onto the freeway 2:23:48.240 --> 2:23:49.920 where he went straight under the bridge and it was 2:23:49.920 --> 2:23:53.720 stuck there for three days. The main highway to Tawomba 2:23:54.000 --> 2:23:59.199 out of Brisbane was blocked for three days. Everybody, everybody 2:23:59.280 --> 2:24:05.440 had to go around on a detour. Yeah, no, quite 2:24:05.520 --> 2:24:08.000 popular around here, oh everywhere. 2:24:08.680 --> 2:24:11.320 They are all over the place. Thank you, Bob. We've 2:24:11.360 --> 2:24:14.520 got to get to the cereal very shortly. But yeah, 2:24:14.600 --> 2:24:17.879 but my question, ultimately, I guess comes down to how 2:24:18.000 --> 2:24:21.720 much does it cost to build one and how long 2:24:21.760 --> 2:24:26.120 does it take to recoup that in energy savings? And yeah, 2:24:26.760 --> 2:24:29.320 I guess that's part of the question. Anyway, the fade 2:24:29.400 --> 2:24:31.720 up music is coming, So the Cereal is up on 2:24:31.840 --> 2:24:33.320 the other side of the break and we'll get back 2:24:33.360 --> 2:24:36.520 to your calls in about twenty five minutes time after 2:24:36.600 --> 2:24:43.160 the news after the cereal, right own news is coming 2:24:43.240 --> 2:24:46.440 up now as we approach two o'clock in Perth, half 2:24:46.560 --> 2:24:50.760 past three in South Australia. Why do I say? Why 2:24:50.840 --> 2:24:54.600 do I say Perth which is a capsity, and then 2:24:54.720 --> 2:24:57.680 South Australia rather than Adelaide, I should be I should 2:24:57.680 --> 2:25:00.959 be either giving the states or I should giving the towns. 2:25:01.520 --> 2:25:04.920 And I always do that. I always I always mix 2:25:05.000 --> 2:25:09.120 them up, very unprofessional. Anyway, it's coming up to two 2:25:09.160 --> 2:25:13.800 o'clock in the west, it's coming up to half past 2:25:13.879 --> 2:25:19.000 three in the south, and in the east in Victoria, 2:25:19.560 --> 2:25:23.000 it's about to hit four o'clock. After the news your calls, 2:25:23.040 --> 2:25:25.840 there's none on the board, often is the case after 2:25:25.920 --> 2:25:28.320 the cereal So now's a good time to call if 2:25:28.320 --> 2:25:29.080 you want to have a chat. 2:25:35.360 --> 2:25:39.560 Now this is a screen you're urban eyed with Simon Owens. 2:25:42.680 --> 2:25:45.920 Yes, good morning everyone. You heard that right. Tony McManus 2:25:46.040 --> 2:25:48.280 is off this morning, so it's me. Simon Owen's in 2:25:48.360 --> 2:25:51.560 the chair. Jay is here as well. And I just 2:25:51.640 --> 2:25:55.000 heard something Jay that Gabriel said in the weather there 2:25:57.280 --> 2:26:03.520 that caught me by surprise. Hmmm. And what was the surprise, 2:26:03.560 --> 2:26:09.000 sim It that the we are only too basically that 2:26:09.120 --> 2:26:12.240 we are two days away from winter. Oh, yes, the 2:26:12.360 --> 2:26:15.840 last days of autumn, she mentioned. That's true. It's just 2:26:16.760 --> 2:26:19.920 it's sort of snuck up on me, like it's been 2:26:20.080 --> 2:26:24.720 cold where we are this last week. But prior to that, 2:26:25.280 --> 2:26:27.280 you know, like I only put the electric blanket on 2:26:27.400 --> 2:26:32.280 my bed last week, Yeah, the hot blanket. Yeah, yes, yeah, 2:26:33.160 --> 2:26:35.200 Well I got no one to snuggle te so I 2:26:35.320 --> 2:26:38.160 need that. Used to be the great thing about working 2:26:38.800 --> 2:26:42.920 late nights was getting home to an already warm bed. Yes, 2:26:43.360 --> 2:26:46.119 but now so I'm going to have the electric blanket now. 2:26:46.480 --> 2:26:46.680 Yeah. 2:26:46.840 --> 2:26:49.560 Well, I think when it comes to time and the 2:26:49.680 --> 2:26:51.560 year flying, I think it's a bit to do with 2:26:51.640 --> 2:26:54.880 the weather, because you know, this time of the season, 2:26:55.200 --> 2:26:58.760 we're usually really cold and we're just you know, obviously 2:26:58.959 --> 2:27:02.039 a couple of days away from winter, that's why it's 2:27:02.080 --> 2:27:06.920 so cold. But this year, very mild conditions, a couple. 2:27:06.800 --> 2:27:09.960 Of days in winter. That's just completely thrown me. I 2:27:10.360 --> 2:27:13.040 wasn't expecting that. We did say at the top of 2:27:13.120 --> 2:27:16.480 the show, which now four hours ago, that I was 2:27:16.560 --> 2:27:19.000 still getting used to the idea that it's twenty twenty five. 2:27:19.400 --> 2:27:23.640 That's right, yes, and we're ever so close to June 2:27:23.720 --> 2:27:26.200 one now, so you know, because when you cross over 2:27:26.280 --> 2:27:30.520 to midnight here another day ahead. Yeah, yeah, one minute 2:27:30.520 --> 2:27:33.600 you yesterday, next minute today. Scary stuff. 2:27:34.480 --> 2:27:36.959 I was having a quick flick through the papers during 2:27:37.000 --> 2:27:40.279 the bullet and then and all the papers are carrying 2:27:41.000 --> 2:27:43.720 an article on all the news limited papers are carrying 2:27:43.760 --> 2:27:47.640 an article on Raygun. She's come out and said that, 2:27:47.840 --> 2:27:52.800 you know, she's battled basically demons mental health issues since 2:27:53.080 --> 2:27:57.000 the Olympic performance and I have to say I'm not 2:27:57.120 --> 2:28:04.400 surprised there's people were really really harsh. Like it was. 2:28:04.879 --> 2:28:08.400 It was an odd performance, it was not what anyone 2:28:08.520 --> 2:28:13.880 was expecting. But the vitriol that she faced off the 2:28:13.959 --> 2:28:17.320 back of it, I thought was horrendous. I thought it 2:28:17.520 --> 2:28:21.240 was fun. I thought it was funny. I thought it 2:28:21.400 --> 2:28:23.480 was different and odd, but I also thought it was 2:28:23.600 --> 2:28:29.400 wonderfully Australian. We used to have a culture where we 2:28:29.680 --> 2:28:32.960 sort of prided ourselves on our dagginess, as it were, 2:28:33.120 --> 2:28:35.720 on the fact that we didn't have to conform with 2:28:35.840 --> 2:28:40.280 the rest of the world. We could be Alaraken's assies, 2:28:40.720 --> 2:28:43.000 you know, we he'd have fun, a good time. We 2:28:43.080 --> 2:28:46.840 live in the lucky country, so nothing's ever really bothered us. 2:28:47.879 --> 2:28:53.520 And when her performance happened the pylon was horrendous, I thought. 2:28:53.440 --> 2:28:55.400 Yeah, we just got to come back to that respect, 2:28:55.400 --> 2:28:58.160 don't we. For people, you know, understand that we're all 2:28:58.240 --> 2:29:00.440 different in some way, but we just need to respect. 2:29:00.480 --> 2:29:02.360 We need you know, we obviously have a go at 2:29:02.360 --> 2:29:04.680 each other because that's the Aussie way too, but to 2:29:04.800 --> 2:29:06.760 have that respect at the end of it as well, 2:29:06.800 --> 2:29:07.720 that's that's the main thing. 2:29:07.879 --> 2:29:10.400 Yeah, you can have a go at someone and still 2:29:10.480 --> 2:29:14.120 have fun exactly without it being nasty. But there was 2:29:14.200 --> 2:29:18.520 a lot of there was a real pile on towards Raygun. Yeah, 2:29:18.720 --> 2:29:23.600 and I felt very sorry for her. So I will say, though, 2:29:23.720 --> 2:29:26.480 I think there's she's made a mistake in the article 2:29:26.520 --> 2:29:30.360 in ending that. The article ends with basically Raygun saying 2:29:31.160 --> 2:29:33.120 you've not seen the last of me, and I, no, 2:29:33.240 --> 2:29:37.520 you don't need to say that, because that's inviting another pileon. Yeah, 2:29:37.800 --> 2:29:41.040 So yeah, I don't know. I can't blame her. She 2:29:41.120 --> 2:29:44.400 didn't write the article. The journal did. But yeah, I 2:29:44.560 --> 2:29:46.480 just I read the article and I thought, that's it's 2:29:46.480 --> 2:29:49.080 all very nice, like she talks about the demon she's 2:29:49.160 --> 2:29:52.280 faced and what she's done to try and overcome that, 2:29:52.480 --> 2:29:55.720 and how life is slowly getting better for her. But 2:29:55.840 --> 2:29:59.720 then all of a sudden it ends with something that 2:29:59.760 --> 2:30:02.720 I thought, Oh, you're you're just leading leading them on 2:30:02.920 --> 2:30:06.560 to bring you to an attack again. Anyway, people can 2:30:06.720 --> 2:30:09.400 read that in the papers. We better get to some calls. 2:30:09.440 --> 2:30:11.080 We've got a few things to cover off in this 2:30:11.240 --> 2:30:14.160 hour as well. But your calls are welcome one double 2:30:14.200 --> 2:30:17.400 three six nine three one double three eight eighty two, 2:30:17.879 --> 2:30:20.480 and your text messages as well on zero four double seven, 2:30:20.840 --> 2:30:24.640 six nine three six niney three like this one, Simon. 2:30:24.680 --> 2:30:27.600 I remember playing lookout for my grandmother if she had 2:30:27.640 --> 2:30:30.600 forgotten to pay her TV license. We used to watch 2:30:30.640 --> 2:30:33.400 out for the scanner truck coming down the road. If 2:30:33.440 --> 2:30:35.720 we saw it, the tv'd be turned off and pretend 2:30:35.760 --> 2:30:38.959 we weren't home, says Mark has Scoresby. That's a great one. 2:30:39.160 --> 2:30:43.920 That's off the back of the topic. We did, excuse 2:30:43.959 --> 2:30:47.039 me earlier this morning. Things we used to put coins 2:30:47.120 --> 2:30:52.160 in and televisions were one of those things. Drove many 2:30:52.240 --> 2:30:54.400 times to Horsham just near arrow Out. There are many 2:30:54.440 --> 2:30:58.040 wind turbines, but hardly even saw them moving. Hundreds of 2:30:58.080 --> 2:31:00.720 birds are killed, also some cattle of being killed when 2:31:00.800 --> 2:31:04.080 blades break off, says Barb. Yes, thank you for that. 2:31:04.320 --> 2:31:08.720 That's we've heard that several times that sort of story too. 2:31:09.280 --> 2:31:11.760 Thank you Bob for that. Have a talk to the 2:31:11.800 --> 2:31:14.880 people who install these turbines. They're constantly repairing them as 2:31:14.920 --> 2:31:17.400 the blades are breaking off. It's a major problem that 2:31:17.440 --> 2:31:21.119 the companies aren't talking about, says Tony in Doncaster. Thank 2:31:21.160 --> 2:31:23.080 you Tony for that. Yes, that was off the back 2:31:23.120 --> 2:31:27.080 of a news item. Gabriel Hodson gave us earlier about 2:31:27.120 --> 2:31:30.880 a wind turbine that's on fire and the fire brigadeer. 2:31:30.920 --> 2:31:34.480 They're looking up at the fire going what do we 2:31:34.600 --> 2:31:36.400 do at three o'clock in the morning to try and 2:31:36.440 --> 2:31:39.720 put that out? Thank you for all those texts. Keep 2:31:39.800 --> 2:31:42.080 them coming on zero four double seven six nine three 2:31:42.160 --> 2:31:45.080 six nine three. Mark's installed. I mark. 2:31:49.280 --> 2:31:53.440 That windmill is dan Bowlgain wind farm. Just ran thorn 2:31:53.600 --> 2:31:56.800 from the page A went off, what tomorrow? What what 2:31:57.000 --> 2:31:59.440 people are trying to do is like, sure it doesn't 2:31:59.520 --> 2:32:03.080 spread on the ground, yes, and that's it. Nothing else 2:32:03.120 --> 2:32:05.160 you can do it. You don't go up climbing, you 2:32:05.200 --> 2:32:07.840 don't be superheroes, you don't do any. 2:32:07.760 --> 2:32:13.160 Of that makes makes perfect sense. It's a little bit 2:32:13.240 --> 2:32:14.800 high to be getting up to try and put out 2:32:14.800 --> 2:32:17.080 a fire. And if it's you know, it's not like 2:32:17.160 --> 2:32:19.520 there's a lot of there that can catch fire. But yeah, 2:32:19.520 --> 2:32:21.720 you gotta watch for the stuff hitting the ground, I. 2:32:21.720 --> 2:32:25.880 Guess, and all those carbon you know that those blades 2:32:25.879 --> 2:32:28.440 are made of carbon fire, but they just they just 2:32:28.560 --> 2:32:32.240 shred after a wall. And yeah, and you're talking about 2:32:32.280 --> 2:32:36.680 how much concrete does it take? Yeah, it takes four 2:32:37.800 --> 2:32:44.440 average size concrete trucks five days, twenty four hours a 2:32:44.560 --> 2:32:48.440 day to fill the foundation. And they's use a special 2:32:48.520 --> 2:32:49.320 mixed concrete. 2:32:50.480 --> 2:32:52.240 So that's a lot of concrete. You're telling me. 2:32:54.480 --> 2:33:03.840 Put it this way. A city, the suburban suburban house straight, 2:33:03.920 --> 2:33:07.440 if you just filled every every house up with concrete, 2:33:07.480 --> 2:33:10.440 that's out and it would be about that plus morning. 2:33:11.160 --> 2:33:11.400 Wow. 2:33:12.800 --> 2:33:15.280 Now I think the Western Highways open because I'm just 2:33:15.400 --> 2:33:19.920 hearing the trains go Pastball Place now, Yeah, doing pretty quiet, 2:33:20.080 --> 2:33:21.600 playing pretty quiet and not a slip. 2:33:21.680 --> 2:33:23.560 Well, oh that's well, that's good. 2:33:24.920 --> 2:33:27.720 Yeah, I hear trucks making up and down the Western 2:33:27.760 --> 2:33:30.480 isihlay now because I'm right in the middle of them, 2:33:31.240 --> 2:33:31.760 two of them. 2:33:32.360 --> 2:33:34.640 But you say your slip, Well, but it's quarter past 2:33:34.720 --> 2:33:36.680 four in the morning. Install you. 2:33:38.480 --> 2:33:38.720 Know me? 2:33:38.800 --> 2:33:41.680 The trains wake me up with their constant railway crossing. 2:33:41.800 --> 2:33:46.920 Two horns okay, yeah, yeah, horns should be banned after 2:33:47.000 --> 2:33:49.280 a certain time. Ah. 2:33:52.000 --> 2:33:55.960 There's like an optional extra on a car now. It's 2:33:56.080 --> 2:33:59.560 it's like the indicators that you can go to Audo 2:33:59.680 --> 2:34:03.440 Prow and get a little container a blinker fluid and 2:34:04.280 --> 2:34:05.720 they'll start working again. 2:34:07.560 --> 2:34:08.800 Blinker fluid. 2:34:10.440 --> 2:34:12.199 Both sarcastic to joke. 2:34:12.440 --> 2:34:19.080 Yeah, no, Okay, now I'm with you. I was yeah 2:34:19.120 --> 2:34:20.920 that that made no sense to me. Now it does 2:34:22.800 --> 2:34:26.560 my car horn, just as an aside, because we mentioned horns. 2:34:27.200 --> 2:34:30.560 My car we purchased in twenty twelve. In twenty thirteen, 2:34:30.680 --> 2:34:33.800 the horn stopped working. And so I've been without a 2:34:33.879 --> 2:34:37.400 car horn for twelve years, which has probably been a 2:34:37.440 --> 2:34:42.720 good thing. Is it is unroadworthy? 2:34:44.360 --> 2:34:47.000 Okay, and I have you now getting there afraid? 2:34:47.200 --> 2:34:47.480 Have you? 2:34:48.760 --> 2:34:48.800 No? 2:34:49.160 --> 2:34:53.400 Look, I'm clearly flouting the law because it is unroadworthy. 2:34:53.480 --> 2:34:57.520 But the problem is to fix the Apparently it's a 2:34:57.600 --> 2:35:00.840 loose wire in the steering wheel, so in order to 2:35:00.920 --> 2:35:02.760 do that, they've got to pull out the air bag 2:35:03.000 --> 2:35:08.760 in order to fix the horn. Oh yeah, So it's 2:35:08.959 --> 2:35:11.120 just a little Toyota Yaris. But so I was told 2:35:11.160 --> 2:35:12.920 it was going to cost a couple of hundred bucks 2:35:13.160 --> 2:35:15.680 just to fix the horn. So I said, I don't 2:35:15.720 --> 2:35:18.000 worry about it. It's it's only an issue if I 2:35:18.040 --> 2:35:21.200 ever sold. If I ever sell the car, and it's not, 2:35:21.400 --> 2:35:24.280 it's not ever going to be worth selling. So I'll 2:35:24.360 --> 2:35:25.280 just go without a horn. 2:35:25.879 --> 2:35:29.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah, shock an accident on the Western air straight. 2:35:29.720 --> 2:35:31.680 Yeah, terrible news. That was terrible. 2:35:32.240 --> 2:35:35.680 You know, if if the government promised what they said 2:35:35.720 --> 2:35:40.720 they'll do ten years ago, it all beplicated, right right, 2:35:40.920 --> 2:35:41.720 past Orsham. 2:35:41.800 --> 2:35:46.160 Now, well that stuff needs to happen. But at the 2:35:46.240 --> 2:35:50.200 same time we broke. So that's that's the that's the 2:35:50.360 --> 2:35:51.480 juggling money. 2:35:51.320 --> 2:35:58.280 Into that black money hole. Whereas brace somewhere, Which one 2:35:58.360 --> 2:35:58.480 is that? 2:35:58.600 --> 2:35:59.480 Which money holds that? 2:36:00.959 --> 2:36:05.600 The black hole, the one that they lay The government 2:36:05.720 --> 2:36:08.480 keep going oh, no, no, no, we're going to make 2:36:08.480 --> 2:36:09.280 it the box hill. 2:36:10.000 --> 2:36:13.840 Oh the rail tunnel thing, Yeah, that's the one, the 2:36:13.959 --> 2:36:18.959 black hole. Look the thing about that though to die, well, 2:36:19.120 --> 2:36:23.040 well they're still working on it. Look the thing about 2:36:24.160 --> 2:36:27.560 the thing that intrigues me about this, because again I'm apolitical. 2:36:27.600 --> 2:36:31.840 I don't care. It doesn't bother me. The question I 2:36:31.879 --> 2:36:34.360 would have is if they've poured so much money into 2:36:34.440 --> 2:36:37.680 it already and they stop, then at some point in 2:36:37.760 --> 2:36:41.279 the future, be it ten twenty years from now, someone's 2:36:41.320 --> 2:36:43.320 going to say, okay, well now it's time to do 2:36:43.480 --> 2:36:46.080 that thing, and then we need another lot of studies 2:36:46.160 --> 2:36:48.680 and another lot of stuff done. So is it not 2:36:48.800 --> 2:36:51.040 better to just struggle through the pain and get the 2:36:51.120 --> 2:36:54.160 bloody thing finished? Even if it isn't the be all 2:36:54.240 --> 2:36:58.120 and end all that it was promised rather than actually 2:36:58.240 --> 2:37:01.040 stop a project halfway through and complete. 2:37:02.800 --> 2:37:07.320 What about that stupid worst worst tunnel cross out and 2:37:07.480 --> 2:37:10.600 the tunnel thing to maiden it's freeze right now? 2:37:11.360 --> 2:37:13.720 Well have you ever known a government project to run 2:37:13.800 --> 2:37:15.000 on time for either party? 2:37:16.560 --> 2:37:16.840 Wow? 2:37:18.080 --> 2:37:21.640 But the Libs were, the Libs were weren't nowhere near 2:37:21.680 --> 2:37:23.760 as bad as what they are now. Like I heard 2:37:23.879 --> 2:37:29.160 someone saying earlier this morning, but how to get time 2:37:29.240 --> 2:37:33.200 off work was just jam jam torlet paper down the toilet, 2:37:34.400 --> 2:37:35.720 non flashable. 2:37:35.440 --> 2:37:35.880 Off we go. 2:37:38.280 --> 2:37:40.920 We block the toilet so you can't say the office 2:37:41.160 --> 2:37:42.040 isn't inhabitable. 2:37:43.800 --> 2:37:47.920 Yeah, well I think it was all Denniss. Someone's program 2:37:48.760 --> 2:37:51.640 might have been Jackiees. I said, yeah, we just jam 2:37:51.800 --> 2:37:55.240 toilet rolls into the toilet, make them unworkable, and off 2:37:55.320 --> 2:37:57.000 site they go over four days part. 2:37:58.160 --> 2:38:04.120 Yeah that's pretty crappy. Literally Yeah, yeah, I didn't actually 2:38:04.200 --> 2:38:07.040 mean it that way, but yeah, there you go. I'm witty. 2:38:08.040 --> 2:38:11.280 I'm witty and I didn't realize it anyway. Good on 2:38:11.360 --> 2:38:16.360 your market's good to hear your voice, mate, Take care, Cheers, 2:38:17.040 --> 2:38:21.080 Wilmat Julian Julian of Armadale. I was Jay and I 2:38:21.160 --> 2:38:24.120 were talking about you off earlier, So look forward to 2:38:24.200 --> 2:38:28.480 chatting to Wilmot, to Julian, to Michelle, Aaron others. Keep 2:38:28.520 --> 2:38:30.640 them coming and we will be with you after these. 2:38:32.200 --> 2:38:34.640 I love Meg's text. I wonder if large pipes can 2:38:34.680 --> 2:38:37.520 be incorporated into the stands of wind turbines and a 2:38:37.640 --> 2:38:41.040 huge showerhead on top, and then the fires can pump water, 2:38:41.240 --> 2:38:43.959 fieries can pump water up there and the water flows down. 2:38:44.160 --> 2:38:46.800 It's a very clever idea, Meg, you should be an engineer, 2:38:48.200 --> 2:38:51.160 no doubt. There's probably a massive reason why it can't 2:38:51.200 --> 2:38:54.000 be done, and people who are involved in wind turbines 2:38:54.000 --> 2:38:58.600 are going that's ludicrous. But I like the idea. But 2:38:59.040 --> 2:39:01.520 I have no expert, so I can't say whether it's 2:39:01.520 --> 2:39:03.840 a good idea or not. But I like it. Thank you, Meg. 2:39:04.200 --> 2:39:06.440 Wilma's in lands for Hi Wilma. 2:39:07.200 --> 2:39:08.920 They're going so let me have him starting to you 2:39:09.000 --> 2:39:14.920 for a long time forever. Have you watched Carva name 2:39:15.000 --> 2:39:15.800 with pride yet? 2:39:17.040 --> 2:39:17.080 No? 2:39:17.280 --> 2:39:19.400 I haven't. No, it is in my list. 2:39:19.640 --> 2:39:23.840 Well, yeah, we better put her on top of the list. 2:39:24.200 --> 2:39:28.720 Oh well, I've got okay, so I've got I've got 2:39:28.920 --> 2:39:34.240 China Beach Chaplain Harvey, starring James Stewart student Prince Carva, 2:39:34.320 --> 2:39:38.400 name with Pride, Guess who's coming to dinner? Elephant man. Yeah, 2:39:38.760 --> 2:39:40.879 and it goes on. So it's it's in the list 2:39:40.959 --> 2:39:41.360 fair enough. 2:39:42.240 --> 2:39:47.920 Yeah, we don't live serious from Actually we're going to 2:39:48.000 --> 2:39:50.879 Stall for morrow because Asia is only forty six caves 2:39:51.280 --> 2:39:55.120 from Stall. And I know my husband that were very 2:39:55.160 --> 2:40:00.360 interested in this because, uh, with' the turb on, I 2:40:02.400 --> 2:40:06.039 hold a hicck of a lot of oil and that's 2:40:06.160 --> 2:40:09.400 why would be very very difficult to put out. 2:40:10.560 --> 2:40:13.920 Yeah. Well yeah, if the oil in there catches fire, absolutely. 2:40:13.480 --> 2:40:16.800 Yes, yeah, that's that's what would have catched on fire. 2:40:17.400 --> 2:40:21.000 Yeah. Yeah, it could be some sort of lubricant that 2:40:21.160 --> 2:40:24.720 makes the the other thing that allows them to spin 2:40:24.879 --> 2:40:26.600 freely or oh. 2:40:26.560 --> 2:40:29.400 Yes, because they've got a big bullbarians in them too, 2:40:30.400 --> 2:40:34.560 what makes them? Yeah, go, But anyway, it's very interesting, 2:40:34.680 --> 2:40:40.320 but probably I don't know exactly. We'reously. We're terribly dry 2:40:40.480 --> 2:40:41.640 up here at the moment. 2:40:41.959 --> 2:40:42.039 And. 2:40:43.800 --> 2:40:48.800 I'd say, yeah, some some of them arenald fairly good 2:40:49.000 --> 2:40:53.840 in farmland not so, I'd say the fires watching there 2:40:54.440 --> 2:40:56.240 pretty closing for a few days. 2:40:56.640 --> 2:40:59.640 Yeah, yeah, I was, I was talking to Marty Fields 2:40:59.680 --> 2:41:02.920 earlier of the well known comedian the Son of Murray 2:41:03.000 --> 2:41:10.320 and Vell Gila, who's organizing a fundraiser and a comic 2:41:10.440 --> 2:41:15.400 relief type thing for farmers who are affected by the drought. 2:41:16.120 --> 2:41:20.320 The drought is apparently really really horrific, but we in 2:41:20.400 --> 2:41:23.039 the city don't realize it because we're in this little 2:41:23.080 --> 2:41:26.320 spot where we have had rain. But just on the 2:41:26.400 --> 2:41:29.560 other side of Geelong. This is for Victorians, of course, 2:41:30.240 --> 2:41:33.720 just on the other side of Geelong. It's there's a 2:41:33.800 --> 2:41:36.720 whole region that's just it's the worst route they've had 2:41:36.760 --> 2:41:42.080 in years, years upon years. We've got flooding in New 2:41:42.120 --> 2:41:44.840 South Wales. It's just a bizarre country. This isn't it? 2:41:45.959 --> 2:41:48.800 Sure is? Well, we're retired to farming, but our some 2:41:49.440 --> 2:41:54.920 has taken the farm and yeah he's the farm water 2:41:55.040 --> 2:42:00.200 proof by putting balls down and run by you know. 2:42:00.360 --> 2:42:04.000 The soul panis which is which is great, but foodings. 2:42:03.520 --> 2:42:06.400 Are a problems. 2:42:06.440 --> 2:42:10.560 Got he said to buy, so he did. He's got 2:42:10.600 --> 2:42:14.240 pretty high which is good. But we just hope. But 2:42:15.280 --> 2:42:17.760 we've got a good riding. Good if it goes through 2:42:17.840 --> 2:42:21.480 through sort of we're going to get much running around 2:42:21.520 --> 2:42:25.000 some next Mark and be horistic, Solomon. But anyway, we 2:42:25.200 --> 2:42:25.720 just don't know. 2:42:26.120 --> 2:42:28.400 Well we can do is hope. I guess that's yeah, 2:42:28.440 --> 2:42:31.680 there's not a lot we can Yeah, there's nothing new 2:42:31.760 --> 2:42:32.720 and I can do, is there? 2:42:33.600 --> 2:42:36.840 No, No, No, there's nothing Allan. I always said, it's 2:42:37.320 --> 2:42:39.640 just as well we can't change the weather, otherwise we'd 2:42:39.680 --> 2:42:46.720 be fighting all the time, Soloman. No, We've I've got 2:42:46.800 --> 2:42:51.880 gradation or Dan Launville area and they have said, you know, 2:42:52.600 --> 2:42:55.280 they've never never ever seen it so dry around that 2:42:55.400 --> 2:42:58.200 area for lawn might look like around there. 2:42:58.680 --> 2:43:01.960 Yeah, no, it's it's quite bizarre. We just wouldn't have 2:43:02.040 --> 2:43:04.080 known about it in the city if people didn't speak 2:43:04.160 --> 2:43:04.640 up about it. 2:43:05.800 --> 2:43:09.720 That's the sure. Yeah, and any I I'll be pleased 2:43:09.760 --> 2:43:11.720 to hear from really because I've been learning for a 2:43:11.800 --> 2:43:12.160 while and. 2:43:13.840 --> 2:43:14.920 We need to forget. 2:43:15.480 --> 2:43:20.240 Uh you know. It brings memories back to me. 2:43:21.480 --> 2:43:24.640 He's a nostalgia person's dream, Julie. 2:43:24.680 --> 2:43:24.920 It is. 2:43:26.600 --> 2:43:29.640 That is the true. So I'm enough, all the best 2:43:29.720 --> 2:43:31.400 and it's good to hear from you again. 2:43:31.560 --> 2:43:34.120 Good on your thanks, Wilma, lovely Carl, I appreciate it. 2:43:34.240 --> 2:43:37.040 Thank you. We'll get to Julian shortly, but Michelle's in 2:43:37.120 --> 2:43:40.000 Portland First High Michelle Oh. 2:43:40.200 --> 2:43:44.360 Hi, good morning and hi to everyone. So I'm not 2:43:44.480 --> 2:43:49.720 normally up at this time, but couldn't because I'm worried 2:43:49.840 --> 2:43:54.960 about the food security for Australia. A lot of people, 2:43:56.360 --> 2:43:59.200 I think a lot of people would be thinking this 2:43:59.600 --> 2:44:02.520 tax that the Labor government are going to put on 2:44:03.160 --> 2:44:08.000 the Australian people with the council of three million dollars zero, 2:44:08.360 --> 2:44:12.560 not thinking at the average person, not thinking about the 2:44:12.680 --> 2:44:16.880 farmers who have got their super innovation tied up in 2:44:16.959 --> 2:44:24.080 their properties. And this is going to what will actually 2:44:24.160 --> 2:44:27.960 happen if you'll have them calling into the Taxation Department 2:44:28.320 --> 2:44:31.240 saying I can't pay this bill, so they'll actually go 2:44:31.360 --> 2:44:36.480 into debt with the with the Taxation Department. 2:44:37.240 --> 2:44:39.480 So the other thing is. 2:44:41.760 --> 2:44:44.520 With the drought the farmers are having it. 2:44:44.959 --> 2:44:48.040 It's really really dry, it's really dry. 2:44:48.640 --> 2:44:54.240 And the thing is, listening to your last caller, a 2:44:54.320 --> 2:44:57.640 lot of the balls when they go down into the ground, 2:44:58.320 --> 2:45:02.560 the water level then drops off, so you can't really 2:45:02.720 --> 2:45:05.200 put a whole. If you have a whole lot of 2:45:05.240 --> 2:45:09.120 people pumping balls, the water pressure is going to go 2:45:09.280 --> 2:45:15.920 down and you'll have massive issues. So the thing is 2:45:17.320 --> 2:45:23.120 I'm calling on the Australian Farmers Federation to organize a 2:45:24.120 --> 2:45:27.120 right across Australia everyone and all the farmers go to 2:45:27.200 --> 2:45:32.280 Canberra and march on them, and also march on a 2:45:32.400 --> 2:45:36.240 Victorian state government who has given and also the federal 2:45:36.280 --> 2:45:40.080 government's given five thousand dollars to students, but what about 2:45:40.120 --> 2:45:42.200 the farmer's That five thousand dollars could have gone to 2:45:42.280 --> 2:45:43.560 the farmers that are. 2:45:43.560 --> 2:45:44.240 Doing it tough. 2:45:44.840 --> 2:45:47.720 So we've had two years of dryness, not much rain, 2:45:48.480 --> 2:45:49.959 and I really feel as. 2:45:49.879 --> 2:45:50.240 Though that. 2:45:52.040 --> 2:45:57.480 We need to do something radical like march on Canberra 2:45:57.840 --> 2:46:03.760 because Australia only thirty three percent of Australians did vote 2:46:03.800 --> 2:46:07.880 this labor government in, only thirty three percent, and no 2:46:08.040 --> 2:46:09.400 one has gone to the. 2:46:11.560 --> 2:46:13.680 To the government. 2:46:14.840 --> 2:46:20.160 They didn't really bring this up at their last federal election. 2:46:21.120 --> 2:46:25.040 And what I'm saying that this has happened six years 2:46:25.080 --> 2:46:28.240 in a row. Now we've got a labor government. It's 2:46:28.320 --> 2:46:31.440 like a wrecking ball for the country and they're putting 2:46:31.520 --> 2:46:34.080 a national security at risk and they're putting our. 2:46:34.000 --> 2:46:35.199 Food security at risk. 2:46:35.920 --> 2:46:38.240 So it's getting pretty dire and a lot of people 2:46:38.320 --> 2:46:39.320 have got to start waking up. 2:46:39.800 --> 2:46:43.080 Well, Look, the fact is we've got a liberal party 2:46:43.160 --> 2:46:48.560 that's just pretty much nonexistent, and people put their preferences 2:46:49.680 --> 2:46:54.480 to the Labor Party, so the public have spoken. So 2:46:54.760 --> 2:46:57.199 I don't know, you can say only thirty three percent 2:46:57.240 --> 2:47:00.360 of people voted him in. No, the population vote them in. 2:47:01.040 --> 2:47:03.320 But yeah, the country is in a mess. The country 2:47:03.400 --> 2:47:06.200 is in an absolute mess, and Victoria in particular is 2:47:06.240 --> 2:47:09.440 in a mess, and so stuff does need to happen, 2:47:09.600 --> 2:47:12.000 and as long as people keep putting the pressure on, 2:47:12.800 --> 2:47:16.520 stuff will eventually happen. But if people aren't happy with 2:47:16.600 --> 2:47:20.280 the government, vote them out. We've got every three or 2:47:20.280 --> 2:47:22.880 four years, depending on what it is, we have the 2:47:23.000 --> 2:47:26.840 chance to do exactly that. But we need an opposition 2:47:27.040 --> 2:47:29.560 that can actually get their act together to present something 2:47:29.640 --> 2:47:33.879 worth voting for. I am not political. I don't really 2:47:34.160 --> 2:47:37.400 look at the election until the day comes to actually vote. 2:47:38.480 --> 2:47:41.560 And I looked at all the paraphernalia and I spent 2:47:41.760 --> 2:47:44.000 I'd always spend the night before the election looking at 2:47:44.040 --> 2:47:48.320 all the members who are in my electorate, and there 2:47:48.440 --> 2:47:51.600 was just nothing there interested me. The policies that were 2:47:51.640 --> 2:47:55.560 put up and everything I found was just nothing. Nothing 2:47:55.640 --> 2:47:57.840 interested me. I think the country is in a mess 2:47:57.920 --> 2:48:03.360 because we've got idiots advising the government, the political advisors. 2:48:03.400 --> 2:48:09.400 I think a large part of the problems. It's just 2:48:09.560 --> 2:48:14.080 disgraceful on both sides of politics. Anyway, that's my little 2:48:14.160 --> 2:48:18.920 rant for someone who doesn't care. That's pretty much all 2:48:18.959 --> 2:48:20.680 I've got to say. But thank you for your call, Michelle. 2:48:20.680 --> 2:48:23.680 I hope you've got your point across and point well made. 2:48:23.760 --> 2:48:27.040 Well done. Thank you. It's a twenty eight to five 2:48:27.200 --> 2:48:31.120 in Victoria, twenty eight to three in Western Australia and 2:48:31.240 --> 2:48:34.680 in South Australia. It's just after four. More of your 2:48:34.680 --> 2:48:38.879 calls after this. Julian calls from Armadale. 2:48:38.959 --> 2:48:42.680 How are you, Julian, Good morning, sir, How are you today? 2:48:42.920 --> 2:48:45.160 Excellent? Thank you and all the better for hearing from you. 2:48:46.640 --> 2:48:49.120 Yes, sir, just as we're talking about Warnable, they had 2:48:49.160 --> 2:48:52.080 a big fire in two thousand and nine which virtually 2:48:52.200 --> 2:48:57.560 destroyed most of the historic Kepler Street Capital Theater in Warnamore, 2:48:57.600 --> 2:49:01.080 the only cinema left in Warnamore. Magnificent job. I went 2:49:01.120 --> 2:49:04.039 for the opening in twenty ten with some doubts as 2:49:04.080 --> 2:49:07.160 to whether they could restore the theater. The fire started 2:49:07.600 --> 2:49:11.720 in Cinema three and they were very lucky that they 2:49:11.720 --> 2:49:15.280 could evacuate some of the people working in there at 2:49:15.520 --> 2:49:17.400 in the early hours of the morning and a woman 2:49:17.520 --> 2:49:20.800 next door who was sleeping in a house and next door. 2:49:21.040 --> 2:49:23.280 So it's a great theater at the Capitol Theater. Have 2:49:23.360 --> 2:49:24.039 you ever been there? 2:49:24.400 --> 2:49:27.120 No? I haven't known. But they managed to restore it, 2:49:27.200 --> 2:49:29.000 did they And it's all looking good. 2:49:29.959 --> 2:49:32.680 Twelve months reopened it. It's just the bid of cinema. 2:49:32.760 --> 2:49:35.000 Cinema one is the one with a fire start and 2:49:35.120 --> 2:49:38.320 two cinema two and three down below one stage. Warner 2:49:38.360 --> 2:49:41.160 More had three cinemas and a drive into you know, 2:49:41.760 --> 2:49:42.280 is that right? 2:49:42.600 --> 2:49:42.800 Yeah? 2:49:44.120 --> 2:49:47.560 And according to the Kolak Herald about a month ago, 2:49:47.640 --> 2:49:54.200 they're restoring the Region Theater in Murray Street, coal Ak, 2:49:54.560 --> 2:49:58.560 which was it still is an RSL club. Have you 2:49:58.680 --> 2:49:59.200 been in there? 2:49:59.640 --> 2:50:02.800 No, haven't been there either. I don't get out much, sadly, 2:50:02.959 --> 2:50:06.840 but yeah, that's good that they're restoring it. That's good. 2:50:07.440 --> 2:50:10.760 There's there's there's a theater in my neck of the woods, 2:50:10.800 --> 2:50:13.959 which is which was a bit sort of run down 2:50:14.000 --> 2:50:16.160 and on the outside it looks quite run down, but 2:50:16.240 --> 2:50:19.760 inside it's quite beautiful. They've restored it with dignity. 2:50:20.800 --> 2:50:23.560 As you know. Last year the Palace Chain took over 2:50:23.680 --> 2:50:25.960 the regency of the Ballor You knew that, did you? 2:50:26.240 --> 2:50:29.400 It's now called the Palace, is that right? 2:50:30.400 --> 2:50:32.800 Is that the one that? What was the one that 2:50:32.920 --> 2:50:35.720 Mike Walsh bought? What was his first theater that was 2:50:36.080 --> 2:50:36.600 in Ballarat? 2:50:38.200 --> 2:50:40.760 He bought some in Sydney, had the Hayden Chain in 2:50:40.879 --> 2:50:42.640 Sydney her Matchency's Theater. 2:50:44.000 --> 2:50:45.800 Yeah, but I thought his first one was a country 2:50:45.840 --> 2:50:47.480 one in Country Victoria somewhere. 2:50:48.600 --> 2:50:50.640 I'm not quite sure about that. Could you find out 2:50:50.680 --> 2:50:51.400 which one it was? 2:50:53.200 --> 2:50:55.199 I could ask him, but I don't think he returns 2:50:55.240 --> 2:50:56.119 on my calls. 2:50:59.920 --> 2:50:59.960 It. 2:51:00.520 --> 2:51:04.160 It lives in flits between England and Melbourne, so yeah, 2:51:04.240 --> 2:51:05.840 he lives in both cities. 2:51:07.240 --> 2:51:10.480 We had a date unfortunately that did not work out 2:51:10.840 --> 2:51:13.800 at the old Holtz New mal Than on Glen Furry 2:51:13.959 --> 2:51:16.160 Road and then that theater they used to have, one 2:51:16.200 --> 2:51:18.879 of the last theaters of Howts Chain.

Yes, the hot water parks 2:51:24.680 --> 2:51:26.519 that went through under the seats. 2:51:26.280 --> 2:51:31.320 Yeah, that's why they also Lover's chair that was had 2:51:31.400 --> 2:51:33.800 no it had no harm rest. 2:51:35.520 --> 2:51:40.240 Now I've just googled Mike Walsh first theater, and it 2:51:40.280 --> 2:51:43.600 says Mike Walsh's first Foray inter live theater ownership began 2:51:43.680 --> 2:51:47.840 with the purchase of Richmond's Regent Theater in nineteen seventy 2:51:47.959 --> 2:51:51.920 seven in Sydney. Well, it said Richmond. 2:51:52.000 --> 2:51:57.640 So Sydney Regent, not the Melbourne one, right, Okay, yep, 2:51:59.000 --> 2:52:02.640 I remember the old the old Hoyz chain and the Quartiously, 2:52:02.720 --> 2:52:05.120 the date that I had did not work out.

I used to know an usher who 2:52:11.879 --> 2:52:14.760 was a veteran usher of Melbourne cinemas, and he recalls 2:52:14.800 --> 2:52:16.520 he used to be a gentleman who used to come 2:52:16.560 --> 2:52:19.600 in on a very cold day and sleep at the 2:52:19.680 --> 2:52:22.320 cinema all day. And in the summer who used to 2:52:22.400 --> 2:52:24.840 come to the same cinema and used to sleep all 2:52:24.920 --> 2:52:26.200 day because it was too hot. 2:52:26.240 --> 2:52:29.640 Amps Yeah, I've always said that people like to when 2:52:29.680 --> 2:52:32.640 it hits forty degrees, people say, oh, I'm going to 2:52:32.720 --> 2:52:35.080 the beach and I go, You're insane. You're going to 2:52:35.120 --> 2:52:39.360 burn your feet on the sand. The water will feel 2:52:39.480 --> 2:52:42.280 freezing in comparison to the heat in the air. You're 2:52:42.280 --> 2:52:44.680 going to get a bad sunburn. Because you always miss 2:52:44.720 --> 2:52:47.320 a spot when you put the lotion on. Why would 2:52:47.360 --> 2:52:49.600 you go to the beach when it's forty degrees That's 2:52:49.640 --> 2:52:50.760 when you go to a cinema. 2:52:52.120 --> 2:52:53.879 That's right, red. 2:52:57.240 --> 2:52:58.160 Lines breaking in there. 2:53:00.120 --> 2:53:02.440 I was su speaking to an usher red in London 2:53:02.520 --> 2:53:05.199 when they had the Elephant Man there, and she said, 2:53:05.240 --> 2:53:07.920 we have people in the London cold weather. You know 2:53:08.000 --> 2:53:10.080 how cold it gets in Underdog you Oh. 2:53:10.080 --> 2:53:12.400 Yeah, yeah, a little on the chili side. Yeahs a 2:53:12.440 --> 2:53:15.560 bit colder than it does in Australia most of the places. 2:53:16.040 --> 2:53:18.560 May I tell you an old story from the Courier 2:53:18.600 --> 2:53:21.360 Mail back in nineteen seventy eight when they destroyed the 2:53:21.440 --> 2:53:24.280 Regent Theater in Brisbane. There was a lot of controversy 2:53:24.320 --> 2:53:27.000 about that they had a green band on her and 2:53:27.160 --> 2:53:29.280 they pulled the green band at five o'clock and version 2:53:29.360 --> 2:53:32.959 destroyed most of the old Regent in Brisbane. And there 2:53:33.080 --> 2:53:35.240 was a man who worked in a projection room and 2:53:35.360 --> 2:53:37.800 he looked out the window one night and guess what 2:53:38.000 --> 2:53:41.039 he saw his girlfriend dating another man. 2:53:41.800 --> 2:53:44.240 Oh really, that's right. 2:53:44.360 --> 2:53:46.360 He wasn't really happy about. There's nothing you can do. 2:53:46.400 --> 2:53:49.480 About it, eh, No, Well better to find out, I guess. 2:53:50.760 --> 2:53:52.400 And then there was a story of a lady he 2:53:52.560 --> 2:53:55.400 used to work projection Williamson. And you know most of 2:53:55.480 --> 2:53:57.840 some of those old Melbourne theaters still have posts. 2:53:59.200 --> 2:54:01.360 Sorry say again, some of the. 2:54:01.480 --> 2:54:06.520 Old Melbourne theaters have posts behind the seats, in front. 2:54:06.360 --> 2:54:10.840 Of the seats, posts as in like columns of that 2:54:10.959 --> 2:54:11.720 support the roof. 2:54:12.840 --> 2:54:14.840 And they used to sell them the old days, she said, 2:54:15.160 --> 2:54:19.320 those seats that had obscured view of the stage with 2:54:19.480 --> 2:54:21.039 a post half priced right. 2:54:21.200 --> 2:54:23.600 Yes, yeah, and they still do. There are some there 2:54:23.720 --> 2:54:26.039 you can still. I can't remember which theaters, but there 2:54:26.120 --> 2:54:31.720 are I know obstructed view seats. I think a lot 2:54:31.760 --> 2:54:34.360 of them might be from overhanging balconies or something. If 2:54:34.400 --> 2:54:37.920 you're sitting right up the back, the overhanging balcony can 2:54:38.000 --> 2:54:40.640 block part of the view of the stage if the 2:54:40.720 --> 2:54:41.879 show has a high set. 2:54:43.240 --> 2:54:45.840 And she told the story of how a lady came 2:54:45.920 --> 2:54:49.000 and said, I can't see the stage because of the post, 2:54:49.360 --> 2:54:52.680 and she said, don't worry, madam. When the curtain goes up, 2:54:52.760 --> 2:54:54.320 the post goes up with the curtains. 2:54:56.080 --> 2:55:01.520 Of course, that's wonderful.

I'll quickly 2:56:05.080 --> 2:56:07.080 go through them from I know you've got other callers 2:56:07.120 --> 2:56:09.320 that want to get on. First of all, the first 2:56:09.440 --> 2:56:12.520 game is it's a Richmond IV will just round the 2:56:12.560 --> 2:56:16.920 corner from where I live, hysin Stadium one ten Saturday, 2:56:17.440 --> 2:56:21.520 West Satellade versus the Mighty Red Legs Now Nord will 2:56:21.640 --> 2:56:24.440 have to win to have any hope of competing in 2:56:24.520 --> 2:56:28.200 the finals. West was smashed at Blene by the Bays 2:56:28.320 --> 2:56:31.280 last week. I'm tipping Nord. I set a line of 2:56:31.760 --> 2:56:35.720 nineteen point five points Nord to win over that line. 2:56:36.240 --> 2:56:39.600 Second game where my side's involved in the TV game 2:56:39.640 --> 2:56:43.199 in Adelaide, the game of the round first versus second 2:56:43.760 --> 2:56:48.040 Central District the Bulldogs versus third the Double Blues who 2:56:48.120 --> 2:56:52.520 are currently on top seven wins, zero losses, Central in 2:56:52.640 --> 2:56:57.080 second position six wins, one loss. The match will start 2:56:57.120 --> 2:57:00.640 at two ten. Now did you hear about the mini 2:57:00.760 --> 2:57:01.760 draft last night? 2:57:02.080 --> 2:57:02.120 No? 2:57:02.320 --> 2:57:02.920 I didn't know. 2:57:04.320 --> 2:57:09.320 Well, six Abstrain players were chosen, which is remarkable and 2:57:09.440 --> 2:57:13.680 they'll be playing in the ABSOL system soon. Central unfortunately lost. 2:57:15.040 --> 2:57:17.400 I've got to think of his name, the midfield of 2:57:17.480 --> 2:57:21.760 Manny Livy. I think it is who's previously played at Sturt. 2:57:22.200 --> 2:57:24.960 If he's not allowed to play for Centrals, Sturt will 2:57:24.959 --> 2:57:28.120 win easily. If he is, could be a very very 2:57:28.200 --> 2:57:32.240 close match. My heart bleeds double Blue Sturt below the 2:57:32.360 --> 2:57:33.760 line of nineteen and a half. 2:57:34.240 --> 2:57:38.320 Well, that's the game that matters because first versus second 2:57:38.600 --> 2:57:41.720 and Yeah, stt just one game up on the Central 2:57:43.040 --> 2:57:43.640 and Simon. 2:57:43.800 --> 2:57:47.800 In nineteen seventy one when I was a teenager, Central 2:57:47.879 --> 2:57:51.920 District ended Sturt's five premierships in a row, beat us 2:57:52.040 --> 2:57:55.480 in the first semi final at the Adelaide Oval by 2:57:55.520 --> 2:57:58.640 about five goals and I cried for a week that 2:57:59.440 --> 2:58:02.760 I was yeah anyway. And the third game is at 2:58:02.879 --> 2:58:07.640 Prospect Over North Adelaide. North Adelaide versus Woodball West Torrence. 2:58:08.000 --> 2:58:11.840 North have been very disappointing. They sacked their coach Jacob 2:58:11.920 --> 2:58:15.119 Surgeon a week and a half two weeks ago. Woodbell 2:58:15.160 --> 2:58:19.080 West Torrants Eagles are flying. I'm kipping Woodvielle West Torrance 2:58:19.200 --> 2:58:23.320 over the line. But North Adelaide beware the wounded rooster 2:58:23.840 --> 2:58:26.560 and the last game because Adelaide and Port have got 2:58:26.640 --> 2:58:30.600 the buy. This week. South Adelaide Panthers, who haven't won 2:58:30.640 --> 2:58:34.800 a premiership in sixty one years, are playing Glenelg at 2:58:35.000 --> 2:58:38.840 make and Stadium nor Longer, which is on the coastline. 2:58:38.879 --> 2:58:43.800 No Longer was destroyed on Monday by Titanic waves and winds. 2:58:44.280 --> 2:58:48.000 Galinelg will win, but I hope South are competitive. Glaneg 2:58:48.040 --> 2:58:49.640 go over the line, and I'm going to thank you 2:58:49.720 --> 2:58:50.360 for letting me on. 2:58:50.760 --> 2:58:53.360 No, no, always a pleasure, that's not a problem. Good 2:58:53.400 --> 2:58:56.840 to keep everyone across all the codes of football and 2:58:57.480 --> 2:58:59.879 the different league. So good on you. I appreciate the call. 2:59:00.320 --> 2:59:03.720 Thanks Peter. We will knock off a break, Aaron, Bob 2:59:03.760 --> 2:59:07.000 and Rob with you soon. No, he won't because Bob's 2:59:07.080 --> 2:59:09.280 just dropped out, but we've got Aaron and Rob will 2:59:09.320 --> 2:59:13.400 be with you in a minute. Aaron's in w a morning. 2:59:13.160 --> 2:59:15.640 Aaron, Good morning, Simon. How are you? 2:59:15.840 --> 2:59:16.000 Yeah? 2:59:16.040 --> 2:59:16.520 Good, thank you. 2:59:17.640 --> 2:59:21.560 Yeah, I'll be very brief this issue regarding anti bullying 2:59:22.280 --> 2:59:26.199 within the state school system. I mean, you know, people 2:59:26.320 --> 2:59:28.000 do what they can to put a stop to a Simon, 2:59:28.040 --> 2:59:30.760 but at the same time, you know you can't stop 2:59:30.840 --> 2:59:33.560 these kids from bullying one another. I mean it's an 2:59:33.560 --> 2:59:36.880 ongoing issue that can be very hard to resolve. You 2:59:37.000 --> 2:59:37.960 understand what I'm saying. 2:59:38.080 --> 2:59:42.440 Oh, look, kids are kids. Unfortunately that means that they 2:59:42.480 --> 2:59:47.840 can be immature and bullying. Yeah, bullying will happen, absolutely. 2:59:47.959 --> 2:59:50.440 Yeahs terrible as it is the only thing that can 2:59:50.520 --> 2:59:54.600 be introduced really that to resolve the issue, Simon, because 2:59:54.600 --> 2:59:57.360 I mean, you know, you know it can't be stopped 2:59:57.360 --> 3:00:00.600 so reasonably. I mean, you know, see just the start 3:00:00.640 --> 3:00:03.240 at the schools that these schools, you know, they can't 3:00:03.320 --> 3:00:06.120 really they enforce that little bit. At the same time, 3:00:06.200 --> 3:00:09.000 you know, that's not the bullying silent, because I mean 3:00:09.600 --> 3:00:12.520 it is persistence that you know, it carries on. I mean, 3:00:12.640 --> 3:00:15.720 sadly some kids to leave the schooler, it gets expelled, 3:00:15.760 --> 3:00:18.680 I mean so sad to say unfortunately. 3:00:19.160 --> 3:00:22.400 Look, it is terrible. I think the larger part of 3:00:22.879 --> 3:00:27.720 the problem with bullying is the parenting because there's only 3:00:27.800 --> 3:00:31.160 so much a school can do. You know, in schools, 3:00:31.320 --> 3:00:33.720 you know, if there's a ratio of one teacher to 3:00:33.840 --> 3:00:37.720 every twenty odd kids, they simply can't be everywhere to 3:00:37.840 --> 3:00:40.480 make sure that kids aren't bullying each other as much 3:00:40.520 --> 3:00:42.480 as we would like them to be able to be. 3:00:42.920 --> 3:00:46.360 There's too much pressure on teachers in the school system 3:00:46.400 --> 3:00:46.760 as it is. 3:00:47.120 --> 3:00:50.720 The worst thing about it is simon, nobody can stop it. 3:00:50.800 --> 3:00:52.040 Nobody can put a stop to it. 3:00:52.560 --> 3:00:55.600 No, it's very very sad, you know, it is. 3:00:55.920 --> 3:00:56.560 It is awful. 3:00:57.040 --> 3:00:59.640 What really can anybody do? What can the education department do? 3:01:00.080 --> 3:01:02.240 You make it twitdally thumbs and not do anything about it, 3:01:02.280 --> 3:01:05.600 because that's what's what's going on? Which is usually the case. 3:01:05.600 --> 3:01:09.879 I mean, these kids get bullied to buggery when when 3:01:09.879 --> 3:01:13.360 they're atiliated, I mean somebody or some gets very badly 3:01:13.440 --> 3:01:15.000 heard or injury, it will be. 3:01:16.520 --> 3:01:17.880 In the school. 3:01:18.160 --> 3:01:21.080 Yeah, look, I think that the thing about it is 3:01:21.120 --> 3:01:24.600 aaron that the schools do do everything they can. They 3:01:25.200 --> 3:01:28.840 they teach about bullying and the and the problems that 3:01:29.040 --> 3:01:32.880 bullying causes, and there's educational films and things that they 3:01:33.040 --> 3:01:35.560 show at schools, and you know, it is a big 3:01:35.680 --> 3:01:40.520 part of the of the the what's what's it called 3:01:40.760 --> 3:01:43.960 the school curriculum as it were, to make sure health 3:01:44.040 --> 3:01:48.040 and wellness for all kids. Unfortunately, as my dad once said, 3:01:48.040 --> 3:01:50.160 and it's just something that's stuck in my mind years ago, 3:01:50.520 --> 3:01:54.200 you can't legislate for stupidity. There are kids you can 3:01:54.280 --> 3:01:57.400 tell people don't bully, it's bad, and there are people 3:01:57.440 --> 3:01:59.959 who go, oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, and then they bully 3:02:00.480 --> 3:02:03.520 and they don't even think that they're really bullying. They're 3:02:03.560 --> 3:02:05.320 just having a bit of fun at that loser kid, 3:02:05.879 --> 3:02:08.480 and they don't realize that they're actually bullying. And when 3:02:08.520 --> 3:02:10.760 you point it out, they get defensive and they feel 3:02:10.800 --> 3:02:14.200 that you're bullying them. There is just kids can be 3:02:14.360 --> 3:02:17.880 really immature, and so at school bullying will always happen, 3:02:18.480 --> 3:02:22.000 and it's really up to the parents to know. If 3:02:22.360 --> 3:02:24.800 the school contacts you and says your child is bullying 3:02:24.840 --> 3:02:28.040 another child, it's really up to the parents to really 3:02:28.240 --> 3:02:30.320 just knock that crap out of the kid and say 3:02:31.120 --> 3:02:34.240 it's just not good enough and threaten that kid that 3:02:34.840 --> 3:02:37.320 you're going to move them to another school unless they 3:02:37.440 --> 3:02:41.720 change their behavior. So I really think parenting has more 3:02:42.400 --> 3:02:46.480 to do with stoppings bullying at schools than schools can 3:02:46.520 --> 3:02:49.240 actually do themselves. But as I say, kids are kids. 3:02:49.360 --> 3:02:51.960 It's never going to be extinguished. We've just got to 3:02:52.000 --> 3:02:54.720 be able to do the best we can. That's all 3:02:54.720 --> 3:02:57.360 we can do in any walk of life. But thanks 3:02:57.400 --> 3:03:01.039 for the call, Rob. I appreciate that quick break back 3:03:01.080 --> 3:03:03.400 in them. And we've got Rob calling in from Melbourne. 3:03:03.400 --> 3:03:04.320 How are you rob. 3:03:05.879 --> 3:03:06.240 Yourself? 3:03:06.480 --> 3:03:06.680 Yeah? 3:03:06.760 --> 3:03:07.240 Pretty good. 3:03:09.120 --> 3:03:13.560 With that fire and that winterbine, maybe they can try, 3:03:14.720 --> 3:03:17.000 obviously too late to save the one that's on fire now, 3:03:17.160 --> 3:03:19.880 but they can retrofute them and put nozzles in and 3:03:20.440 --> 3:03:23.000 pup c O two into them. At least that way 3:03:23.320 --> 3:03:26.000 it will help cool the heat. Sauce and start the 3:03:26.080 --> 3:03:27.080 fire up the box. 3:03:27.280 --> 3:03:30.320 Yeah, yeah, because you need the oxygen to burn for 3:03:30.400 --> 3:03:34.440 the fuel to burn, so yeah, pipe up co two. 3:03:34.600 --> 3:03:39.440 Yeah, because they putting wire water on the fire like that. 3:03:40.000 --> 3:03:42.280 The other caller suggested, what the shower. 3:03:42.920 --> 3:03:43.440 Yeah you don't. 3:03:43.520 --> 3:03:45.440 You don't put water on an electrical fire. 3:03:46.240 --> 3:03:49.960 No, very good point. Well, thank god, I'm not in charge. 3:03:50.000 --> 3:03:55.760 A not all good mate. But yeah, they're finding theory 3:03:55.760 --> 3:03:58.720 of these wind farm things. But oh well, what do 3:03:58.800 --> 3:04:00.440 you do if they produce power? Bonus? 3:04:01.640 --> 3:04:05.480 Yeah? Look, I don't know whether they're worthwhile having or not. 3:04:06.040 --> 3:04:09.640 I don't have any knowledge to to have an opinion 3:04:09.680 --> 3:04:13.800 on it. But yeah, it's the fire in the thing 3:04:13.879 --> 3:04:16.280 and the fire he is sitting around just watching it 3:04:16.360 --> 3:04:19.360 burn because there's not much they can do. I just 3:04:19.400 --> 3:04:20.560 find an interesting story. 3:04:20.680 --> 3:04:24.320 Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I wouldn't want to be up there. 3:04:25.400 --> 3:04:29.160 No, I don't think. I don't think those ladders on 3:04:29.200 --> 3:04:30.640 the back of the trucks go that high. 3:04:32.280 --> 3:04:34.800 I ll just bys a cable tie on length of 3:04:34.879 --> 3:04:36.039 them and make your way up there. 3:04:38.120 --> 3:04:40.760 Well, do do what the treeloppers do and have that 3:04:40.959 --> 3:04:44.040 sort of belt around their back and shimmy up. Yeah, 3:04:44.560 --> 3:04:49.879 I don't want to be doing all that. I'd sit 3:04:50.080 --> 3:04:52.800 sit a safe distance away and watch it.

So we've got 3:05:21.080 --> 3:05:23.240 Shane A. Bassett coming up for those who are sticking 3:05:23.280 --> 3:05:26.360 around to talk movies and entertainment on the other side 3:05:26.400 --> 3:05:26.840 of the news. 3:05:45.040 --> 3:05:49.759 Now, this is Australia Urbanized with Simon Owen's. 3:05:50.800 --> 3:05:54.320 Yes you heard that right.

It's a 3:06:02.120 --> 3:06:05.520 human touch. Yeah, oh yeah, now I recognize it. I 3:06:05.560 --> 3:06:10.680 think it was a good song ninety ninety two, ninety two, 3:06:12.080 --> 3:06:17.200 so that's thirty three years ago, which it's bloody scary, 3:06:17.320 --> 3:06:20.760 isn't it When you say that it is because if 3:06:20.800 --> 3:06:23.840 you then go back thirty three years from nineteen ninety two, 3:06:24.760 --> 3:06:29.760 you get nineteen fifty nine. You know, pre Beatles. It's 3:06:29.800 --> 3:06:35.000 finished year twelve. Yeah, ye Eltham high yet twelve? Are 3:06:35.040 --> 3:06:39.640 you an Elpham boy? Tomerenci. That means a lot to 3:06:39.720 --> 3:06:46.360 people listening, Glen Eld But I love the boss Bruce Springsteen. 3:06:46.400 --> 3:06:47.240 What a legend. 3:06:56.240 --> 3:07:05.440 Service from ahead of the stats, little body John word 3:07:06.040 --> 3:07:06.240 in this. 3:07:07.680 --> 3:07:08.160 It's just. 3:07:12.440 --> 3:07:15.200 Silly out here. 3:07:16.920 --> 3:07:19.039 Do you think what I'll ask. 3:07:18.959 --> 3:07:19.720 You too much? 3:07:21.440 --> 3:07:22.240 I just wow? 3:07:22.480 --> 3:07:24.279 Something too long out. 3:07:25.920 --> 3:07:33.200 Little little That new birth turner, just that new birth turner. 3:07:34.680 --> 3:07:39.240 One of my favorite clips on YouTube is a Bruce 3:07:39.280 --> 3:07:43.120 Springsteen clip. And I've probably bored you sideways with this 3:07:43.200 --> 3:07:45.600 story about a dozen times, but I'll tell it again. 3:07:46.320 --> 3:07:49.920 There's a clip of Bruce Springsteen live in concert in 3:07:50.320 --> 3:07:53.320 like a stadium, so it's not just some small concert 3:07:53.360 --> 3:07:56.440 hall or something. It's a stadium. There are tens of 3:07:56.520 --> 3:08:00.200 thousands of people watching him, and he's got a thing 3:08:00.360 --> 3:08:03.560 going where because he's been performing for so long. People 3:08:03.720 --> 3:08:08.680 write the names of songs on something and hold it 3:08:08.800 --> 3:08:13.879 up hoping that he'll sing that song. And somebody wrote 3:08:13.959 --> 3:08:17.840 on there You Never Can Tell, which was a hit 3:08:18.080 --> 3:08:23.119 for Chuck Berry years and years ago, and so Bruce 3:08:23.160 --> 3:08:26.640 Springsteen reads it, sees it down there, and he says, oh, 3:08:26.800 --> 3:08:30.320 that's fantastic. I haven't played that song in thirty years 3:08:30.520 --> 3:08:34.840 or something like that. And then he realizes the band 3:08:35.200 --> 3:08:39.840 won't know the song. So, in front of a crowd 3:08:39.959 --> 3:08:44.000 of tens of thousands of people live on stage, he 3:08:44.200 --> 3:08:48.920 teaches the band the song. He says, oh, what key 3:08:48.959 --> 3:08:50.720 will I do it in? And he just drums a 3:08:50.760 --> 3:08:54.520 bit on the guitar and practices, No, that's too high, 3:08:54.680 --> 3:08:57.920 try a different key. Well, yeah, I think that's right. 3:08:58.320 --> 3:09:00.840 Then he turns to the horn section and says, I 3:09:00.959 --> 3:09:05.840 need you guys to do it. The sort of hums 3:09:06.360 --> 3:09:08.960 what he needs the horn section to do. Then he 3:09:09.040 --> 3:09:11.880 gets gets the rhythm going, and gets the drummer going, 3:09:11.959 --> 3:09:13.880 and gets gets a bit of a rhythm going, and 3:09:14.560 --> 3:09:18.400 and runs through the chord changes, then puts a capo 3:09:18.520 --> 3:09:22.320 on his guitar. I think it's called a capo, isn't it. Yeah? 3:09:22.360 --> 3:09:27.280 The thing changes the key, does that and finally gets 3:09:27.320 --> 3:09:29.280 it gets it going, gets it going, and then he's 3:09:29.320 --> 3:09:31.959 then he says one, two, three, four, and bang they 3:09:32.000 --> 3:09:34.600 launch into it and you would swear they've been rehearsing 3:09:34.640 --> 3:09:38.600 it for years. They absolutely nailed the performance. And in 3:09:38.720 --> 3:09:41.680 that time, obviously whoever runs the auto cures managed to 3:09:41.720 --> 3:09:44.120 get the lyrics up on the on the thing so 3:09:44.240 --> 3:09:46.760 he can remember the lyrics on the screen for him, 3:09:47.200 --> 3:09:50.280 and then he just nails it, absolutely nails the song. 3:09:51.240 --> 3:09:54.800 So it is, and it just shows a skill of 3:09:55.720 --> 3:09:59.480 one hymn but also to the skill of those musos 3:09:59.520 --> 3:10:03.200 that he too with It's incredible. So if you're bored 3:10:03.240 --> 3:10:05.800 today people and you've got I think the video runs 3:10:05.800 --> 3:10:09.000 about eight or nine minutes, because it's five minutes teaching 3:10:09.080 --> 3:10:11.400 him to play the song and then they actually play it. 3:10:12.480 --> 3:10:17.840 But Bruce Springsteen, you never can tell. It's just fabulous. 3:10:18.360 --> 3:10:18.920 It's amazing. 3:10:19.000 --> 3:10:21.720 I think there was a band that I admired a 3:10:21.760 --> 3:10:23.920 couple of years ago and they got someone from the 3:10:24.400 --> 3:10:28.000 crowd up and started to play the guitar section of 3:10:28.040 --> 3:10:30.560 the song Yeah, and it was from you to it, 3:10:31.640 --> 3:10:34.560 I figured, And he just went through the notes of 3:10:34.640 --> 3:10:37.040 the song with her and then all of a sudden, 3:10:37.120 --> 3:10:39.200 she just picked it up and away she wins. 3:10:39.320 --> 3:10:43.200 Isn't that fabulous with them? I was at a Billy 3:10:43.280 --> 3:10:48.440 Joel concert years ago, might have been the storm Front tour, 3:10:48.640 --> 3:10:53.120 I think it was. And a guy threw up a 3:10:53.240 --> 3:10:56.800 poster on stage. I rolled up and Billy Joels picked 3:10:56.840 --> 3:10:59.880 up the poster and unrolled it. And the guy who 3:11:00.040 --> 3:11:02.840 threw it up there does a Billy Joel tribute show, 3:11:04.280 --> 3:11:07.520 and I think he's I've only ever found one reference 3:11:07.560 --> 3:11:08.680 to it on the internet. 3:11:08.440 --> 3:11:08.959 But the. 3:11:10.800 --> 3:11:14.120 Name of the act, the tribute act was really Joel, 3:11:15.280 --> 3:11:18.480 so r E A W L y Really Joel. And 3:11:19.400 --> 3:11:20.880 so Billy said, oh you do me? 3:11:21.040 --> 3:11:21.600 Do you all right? 3:11:21.680 --> 3:11:23.879 Yeah, we'll get up here. Let's let's see your stuff. 3:11:24.560 --> 3:11:27.039 So he got up there and asked him what song 3:11:27.080 --> 3:11:30.760 he wanted to do, and I think he did. It 3:11:30.879 --> 3:11:34.560 was only the Good Guy Young, which is a pretty 3:11:34.640 --> 3:11:37.480 you know, rocky up there song. So Billy Joel's just 3:11:37.520 --> 3:11:39.920 playing the piano. He's given this guy the microphone in 3:11:39.959 --> 3:11:42.360 front of him, and the guy's dressed like Billy Joel, 3:11:42.400 --> 3:11:44.480 and he's got the same hair at that stage and 3:11:44.800 --> 3:11:47.280 like and he had the It was where Billy Joel 3:11:47.360 --> 3:11:49.840 was wearing the Ray Band Sonnies at the time. Yes, 3:11:50.400 --> 3:11:52.920 so maybe it was the glass No, yeah, no, no. 3:11:53.080 --> 3:11:55.000 On the start of the fire here. 3:11:55.240 --> 3:11:58.280 Yeah, yes, so so he gets the guy gets up there, 3:11:58.320 --> 3:12:00.400 Billy Joel's playing away with the band, and this guy 3:12:00.720 --> 3:12:03.120 absolutely nailed it. You could have sworn it was. There 3:12:03.160 --> 3:12:06.120 were two Billy Joels on stage, a young one which 3:12:06.240 --> 3:12:08.720 was this tribute guy, and the older Fata one at 3:12:08.760 --> 3:12:09.240 the piano. 3:12:09.720 --> 3:12:12.600 Be weird if you were the artists. Yeah, looking into 3:12:12.640 --> 3:12:13.520 a mirror sort of thing. 3:12:13.680 --> 3:12:18.160 Yeah, yeah, watching watching a younger version of yourself on Yeah. 3:12:18.720 --> 3:12:21.480 But yeah, wonderful stuff. The stuff that happens at live 3:12:21.560 --> 3:12:26.160 concerts is marvelous. I was a I wasn't a fan 3:12:26.400 --> 3:12:28.760 particularly of Pink, but my wife wanted to go and 3:12:28.840 --> 3:12:33.800 see Pinking concerts. So I was the reluctant plus one. Yeah, yeah, 3:12:35.280 --> 3:12:38.840 I reluctantly went along to a Pink concert. And Pink's 3:12:38.879 --> 3:12:42.080 interaction with the audience was just marvelous. Like the show 3:12:42.280 --> 3:12:45.480 was beautifully choreographed, and she was a she was a 3:12:45.560 --> 3:12:48.720 brilliant performer, but in between the songs when she had 3:12:48.760 --> 3:12:51.760 interact with members of the audience, she just she just 3:12:51.920 --> 3:12:55.920 had a fabulous energy about her. And somebody admitted her 3:12:56.200 --> 3:12:59.080 she just had a baby, or you know, she had 3:12:59.360 --> 3:13:02.119 like a toddler and somebody had knitted her a little 3:13:02.200 --> 3:13:05.520 jacket or something, and so she was really excited and 3:13:05.600 --> 3:13:07.040 got the person up so she could give him a 3:13:07.080 --> 3:13:09.560 hug and all that stuff. I love the stuff that 3:13:09.680 --> 3:13:12.240 goes on in concert between the songs a lot of 3:13:12.320 --> 3:13:12.600 the time. 3:13:12.720 --> 3:13:14.800 And it's very easy for her to have a chat 3:13:14.879 --> 3:13:16.959 to someone in the audience because of the aerobatics, because 3:13:17.000 --> 3:13:18.879 she can sort of flip over to someone. 3:13:20.240 --> 3:13:24.039 Because she's she's surrounded by wires, she can go anywhere 3:13:24.080 --> 3:13:26.600 in the stadium. Have you seen her in concert or I. 3:13:26.600 --> 3:13:28.400 Haven't actually seen her in concert, but I've seen her 3:13:28.840 --> 3:13:31.680 video clips and things with her how she does at 3:13:31.680 --> 3:13:36.520 a stage performance. But yeah, incredible and fit, so fit, 3:13:36.680 --> 3:13:39.359 and yeah and energetic. It's incredible. 3:13:40.520 --> 3:13:43.400 One double three, it's already caughtter past five.

But on this particular night, 3:15:04.720 --> 3:15:09.080 June seventh, that's his birthday, and there was a pause 3:15:09.400 --> 3:15:13.720 in the show and the whole audience saying happy birthday 3:15:13.800 --> 3:15:17.400 to him.

The whole audio was thinking to him, that's. 3:15:28.760 --> 3:15:32.360 Fantastic, that's wonderful. How did it sort of happen though? 3:15:32.400 --> 3:15:34.680 Did someone just start and everyone joined in and the 3:15:34.760 --> 3:15:35.880 band just shut up?

I'm sure 3:15:45.520 --> 3:15:47.039 it's going to be on YouTube somewhere. 3:15:47.040 --> 3:15:48.320 I've never actually looked for. 3:15:48.400 --> 3:15:51.720 It, but you reminded me of that event when you know, 3:15:51.879 --> 3:15:54.640 you were asking about things that happened at concert, and 3:15:55.200 --> 3:15:56.400 you know, I have to do a little bit of 3:15:56.480 --> 3:15:58.920 research on that one, because it was quite quite an 3:15:58.959 --> 3:16:00.400 event last time I saw him. 3:16:02.400 --> 3:16:05.160 I don't know, like by all means have a look 3:16:05.200 --> 3:16:07.440 and people might be looking for it now, but my 3:16:07.640 --> 3:16:10.160 understanding with YouTube, I haven't looked for a lot of 3:16:10.200 --> 3:16:12.720 Prince material, but I know that Prince used to have 3:16:12.800 --> 3:16:15.080 it all taken down. You couldn't get his stuff on 3:16:15.200 --> 3:16:18.080 YouTube at some point but given he's not here anymore, 3:16:18.120 --> 3:16:21.359 I don't know whether the estate and still. 3:16:21.240 --> 3:16:26.200 Looks unfortunately since he passes, are free for all pretty 3:16:26.280 --> 3:16:27.120 much that is, is it? 3:16:27.320 --> 3:16:27.520 Yeah? 3:16:27.800 --> 3:16:29.400 In Spotify and that sort of stuff. 3:16:29.480 --> 3:16:34.080 Yeah, the Prince estate seems to be just money hungry, 3:16:34.120 --> 3:16:38.240 so they're doing innothing. They canvas or milk, milk the legacy. 3:16:39.080 --> 3:16:40.240 But that's the way. 3:16:41.160 --> 3:16:42.800 Yeah, that happens, definitely. 3:16:42.920 --> 3:16:43.720 That's my little thing. 3:16:44.280 --> 3:16:46.320 Beautiful.

He doesn't look for them, but 3:19:11.720 --> 3:19:15.080 when they're there, he certainly certainly does them. 3:19:15.320 --> 3:19:18.600 Yeah, that is beautiful.
