1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda. I don't think US

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: city folk can appreciate how awful the mouse plague is

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: in regional New South Wales. New South Wales, farmers as

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: well as households are really up against it. But with

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: farmers they're losing crops. Did you see the footage on

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: the news last night an ABC journalists showed a silo

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: being cleaned out, but someone was cleaning out the auger

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: and it started raining mice, dead and alive, mice pouring

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: out of the auger.

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: The weather Girls never wrote a song about that.

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: It's rain and mice. There's no Hallelujah.

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: There's no hallelujah.

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: The farmers are calling on the government to help them

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: because there's some of the people. Some farmers are spending

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand dollars on.

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: Baits, full strength baits now as well well they get

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: in their water tanks.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: It gets everywhere. The phone reception has been has been

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: interrupted entire all these towns interrupted and ravaged. And as

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: someone said, the mental health toilet takes not just on

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: your business, but to have them in your home, to

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: have them in your eating, your couch, to have them

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: marauding through your kitchen so distressing. There's a couple of

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: girls in the A team here who couldn't even hear

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: me discuss it this morning.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: She's got PDSD from the time a whole bunch of

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: mice fell on her.

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Which door this was Anna? She said she was at

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: a grandfather's house, opened a roller door when she was

30
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: a kid. There were mice nests on the roller door

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: that rained down on her. But a lot of people

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: just have a huge aversion to mice. One of the

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: other girls said that when she was living in Paddington

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: they had a mouse and her flatmate, who had the

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: room upstairs, erected a ladder so she could climb out

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: of her window to leave the house because she refused

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: to walk through the house until the pest man had

38
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: been there.

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: A few of the chaps from Live to Ride the

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: bike magazine contribute to They said, oh, we're going to

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: Dubbo for the Stone tribute to Sandy Harbor. I remember

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: Sandy Harbort he did the movie Stone and he's passed away.

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: So they had this tribute ride and he said we

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: want to come with it, and I said, oh, yeah,

45
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: that sounds really cool.

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Did you go.

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't go because something came up. I couldn't

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: go along to it. But then I had a little

49
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: bit of regret about it until I heard So they

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: camped in their swags and stuff across from the drive

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: in in Dubbo, and at two o'clock in the morning

52
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: there was his squeaking noise, and that it was amplified

53
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: by heaps, and a swarm of mice just ran over

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: them and like in.

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Their swags and ran over their faces.

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Just everything you can imagine. You're on the ground and just.

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Oh, my dad, this is a tail of a solid.

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: I no, I had no fomo after all.

59
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure my dad said his shoes were outside one

60
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: day and he was heading out and not heading out

61
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: anywhere posh. Actually think he was running a coffee shop

62
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: at the time, and he put his feet into his

63
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: sh shoes and he said, oh, this odor eater. All

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: these inserts dislodged, so scrunched it down. It was only

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the next day when he went to put his shoes

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: back on again he realized he'd squashed a mouse flat

67
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: in his shoe and had worn it all day. That's

68
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: footwear up and queens, that's your posh footwear. So I

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: know we can't appreciate what it's like in the rural

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: areas of New South Wales, but everyone seems to have

71
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: a tail of the mouth meces to pieces Jonesy and

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,880
