24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: trip to come back from where you've been it is,

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,600

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 4: It's a nine hour flight.

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 2: For all, it's nine hours from getting on the bus,

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: getting to Brisbane and flying back. The only time Colling

29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: whatever travels nine hours is it on the end of

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: season trip.

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: They wouldn't know what that's like.

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 7: You don't have to say, oh yeah there is, yeah, yeah,

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 7: I have, which is some sort of bonus.

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: But swings and roundabout. Yeah, exactly. You take So the

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: sun's on the Gold Coast.

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: You weren't beaten by ironically the same number of points

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: you won by the week before, right, is that right?

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: It's a bit weird? Is it a little bit weird?

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 8: It is? It is?

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: It's hard to win games of footy when the other

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: team kicks sick to one in the third quarter, isn't it.

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, But it felt like it was an arm wrestle.

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 7: But it felt like they had control a lot of

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 7: the game and we were really struggling to take their

45
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 7: hands on the football around the middle, which was just

46
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 7: tapping it down to everyone. And I think we gave

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 7: away like fifteen free kicks from stoppages as well, which

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 7: just when you're doing that, they're kicking the ball in

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 7: their forward line and then all of a sudden you're

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 7: trying to play catch up and trying to kick goals

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 7: from your back line, which is not what you want

52
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 7: to do.

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to ask about that because it has

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: been a bit of chatter around the free kicks this

55
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: week because thirty to eighteen is a big difference. Yeah,

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: but you do admit that that was sort of giving

57
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: that away.

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 7: Oh there's always in games though, there's always ones that

59
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 7: are there, and there's ones that are probably fifty to

60
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 7: fifty and there's ones that probably aren't. So but that

61
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 7: goes both ways. Yeah, So yeah, it probably is a

62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 7: reflection of the fact that we were, you know, which

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 7: was just too good with his rockwork and we were

64
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 7: trying to nullify that. But unfortunately, Yeah, a few boys

65
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 7: gave away a few too many free kicks.

66
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 8: You know.

67
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: That's that's kind of what happens when you can't get

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: your hand on it.

69
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough day for Bailey Williams because he's been bloody

70
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: good the last few years, young fella. But when you

71
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: get a dominant ruckman lot Jode, which it is very

72
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: hard because he's a man mountains, he's huge unit, he's.

73
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 7: Massive, So I think I think he had about ten

74
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 7: centimeters on bas or something like that. For some reason,

75
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 7: when he put his arm up, it felt like his

76
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 7: arms were longer than just go go, gadget arms.

77
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: No matter. Oh that Yeah, that were huge.

78
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 7: So yeah, poor old Bas was undersize in that department

79
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 7: and we were trying to scrap and harass as much

80
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 7: as we could have ground level.

81
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, it does make it tough.

82
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: And Bras missing because of that one match ban being upheld,

83
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: his absence was very much missed.

84
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a few things went against during the weekend. Yeah,

85
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 4: but I thought Harriet would sit very well.

86
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 7: I thought he's I think his form has been pretty

87
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 7: good in especially in the waffle. But I thought he

88
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 7: I thought he came in and played his role pretty

89
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 7: well TV coming back so huge in as well. But yeah, look,

90
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 7: it's it's hard when as I was saying before, it's

91
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 7: hard when the balls coming in there like cannon fodder.

92
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 7: So yeah, the backs were under the pump. I thought

93
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 7: they held up pretty well as well throughout the most

94
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 7: of the day.

95
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: I'll have a patch of form for Jake Wardoman, isn't

96
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: it With six five and four goals.

97
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: Let's see two goals off the columns on fire. Some

98
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: good footing we can think about where he was last year.

99
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: There was a lot going on, wasn't there There was.

100
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: It's a good story comeback, so and he was.

101
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 7: He was one of the blokes that I always saw

102
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 7: around the football club over the pre season, really putting

103
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 7: in the work as well. So yeah, it's good to

104
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 7: see him get the reward for the amount effort that

105
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 7: he's put through and then obviously what was going on

106
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 7: with his body as well towards the back end of

107
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 7: last year. It's just unbelievable to see how well he's

108
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 7: playing at the moment.

109
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: Well, I guess good goalkickers aren't a major concern because

110
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Jack Darling also officially the second highest goal scorer for

111
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: the Eagles, surpassing Peter Sumwitch now and just behind Josh Kennedy.

112
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 7: Yeah he's got a fair bit to catch up, so.

113
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: Maybe not just behind but behind just yeah yeah yeah,

114
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: a few goals and incredible. It was a pretty good player,

115
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 4: So I was JD.

116
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 7: Dow And I think this week he qualifies as well

117
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 7: for AFL Life membership, which.

118
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: Is right, yeah, yeah, So I.

119
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 7: Think that's three hundred games for pre season and normal

120
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 7: games as well, which yeah, I think if you get

121
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 7: that AFL life membership, you get a couple of tickets

122
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 7: to the GF every year, and it's a pretty good

123
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 7: thing to have and a pretty good accomplishment.

124
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: So you move on pretty quickly if they want and

125
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 4: have your bombs in the bombers in sight.

126
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 7: We do.

127
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, and they're in red hot form too.

128
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 4: He was like a fly, wasn't it. It was good,

129
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: very good contested game.

130
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 7: So but the teams that they've played before have been

131
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 7: pretty good as well, and they've been in it, so

132
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 7: it's it's going to be a great game, riper game,

133
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 7: and we're looking forward to it.

134
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 2: So what do you think about the draw discussion when

135
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: there's a draw or should they play to see who

136
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: gets the next point? Or only happened in Grand finals?

137
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 7: I think that only happened. I would only like that

138
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 7: to happen in Grand Final. I can also sule why

139
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: the AFL would want them to come back. Yeah, of course,

140
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 7: because it's just a big money maker and another ground. Yeah,

141
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 7: absolutely absolutely, but killed it will forever suffer.

142
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

143
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 7: I don't mind it in the season though, yeah, because

144
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 7: those two points so exciting. Yeah, especially if you're if

145
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 7: you're a team as well, and I felt over a

146
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 7: couple of years there's been teams that have drawn and

147
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 7: that two points make pivot pivotal in terms of getting

148
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 7: him into the eight.

149
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I'm okay with that. Do we still wave jackets

150
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 4: at the at the Essendon Games?

151
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: I was at the game at the MCG when Kevin

152
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: Sheedy waved his jacket that first time.

153
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they were doing it on Antick

154
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: Day supporters pre match we're waving the jackets rout.

155
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: No, it's only Inston West Coast think they are because

156
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 4: we were they thinking Mick Moldhouse was there or yeah,

157
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. I thought it was always scarves.

158
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: I've got people scars jacket way, yea jacket, but not

159

00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: the envy of a lot of footballers who played in

226
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,360

Speaker 3: have picked up the premiership is what you're all after.

228
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,520

231
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 7: win to win a premiership. So if you get the

232
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 7: individual stuff along the way, like, it's great, but you

233
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 7: know you're not playing tennis, you're not playing golf, Yeah,

234
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 7: fair enough.

235
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: Individual Are there anything?

236
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: Is there anything that really stands out as just a

237
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: massive highlight for you?

238
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: That's funny? Like, was there is that?

239
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: Can you pinpoint a moment with thought I will never

240
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: forge at that moment?

241
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: Did it involved? Yeah? It does? It does.

242
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 7: I think getting up there and especially as a young

243
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 7: kid going through watching Brisbane Lines with their three peet

244
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 7: and watching ViOS, watching Black Brown, all of.

245
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 4: Them and just idolizing them.

246
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 7: But then to be able to be lucky enough as

247
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 7: well to get drafted up to there and then learn

248
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 7: off them feet off them for those first two years. Huge,

249
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 7: But never in the history I never really other than

250
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 7: really really young, I never really won like a Grand final,

251
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 7: so I was always itching for that and I able

252
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 7: to get there and win one.

253
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 4: It was just unbelievable that Sumaren at the end of

254
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: the game.

255
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 9: Close to yeah, incredible, and I didn't want to lose

256
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 9: another one of Yeah it was I think looking back,

257
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 9: it's surreal.

258
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 4: It's an unbelievable feeling. And it still doesn't feel like.

259
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 7: We've accomplished it, if that makes it just doesn't feel

260
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 7: real that I've won one.

261
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,359
Speaker 4: Yes, And that's probably.

262
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 7: Just because I'm caught up in the bubble of you know,

263
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 7: next week and we want to win this game of football,

264
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 7: and I think you don't really have the time to

265
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 7: sit down and process and really sort of take it

266
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 7: all in of you know what I've been able to

267
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 7: accomplish as well.

268
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's probably a post football thing.

269
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 7: You hear a lot of people talk about that when

270
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 7: they retire, the sort of sit down and a bit,

271
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 7: you know, sort of reflect on their career a bit more.

272
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 7: But yeah, this stage is just a matter of just

273
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 7: next week, keep going, which is the old cliche, but

274
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 7: it's it's true.

275
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 3: You want everything else, You want everything else twice, so

276
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: you need another flag.

277
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: So used to being you know, to Peter, I'm not

278
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: going to complain, all right, I'm not going to complain.

Speaker 12: Thank you more Clesi, more Lisa, more podcasts.

287
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: Soon just possibly qualifies as catch hat. A family in

288
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: the US has been reunited with their pet cat after

289
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: she was accidentally mailed posted hundreds of miles from Utah

290
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: to California in.

291
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 4: A package that was being returned.

292
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: Galiana disappeared from her home in Utah, prompting widespread searches

293
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: for the beloved missing moggie. She was rescued by an

294
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: Amazon worker nearly a week after jumping into one of

295
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: the family's packages undetected. Now here's the thing about cats

296
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: that anyone who has a cat nose, they love boxing.

297
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 4: Don't don't bother with expensive too.

298
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: If your cat needs something to play with, just leave

299
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: an open box out.

300
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: They'll be in and out like a cat.

301
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: In the box.

302
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 2: Anyway, Galiana was no exception. She eventually was rescued from

303
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: the large box, which also contained some steel toed work

304
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: boots that were being returned by an Amazon.

305
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 4: Worker, who took her to the VET.

306
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: There, the cat's microchip was scanned and the owner's contact

307
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: details came up her owner carry, so she didn't believe

308
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: the vet at first. She thought that someone was playing

309
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: a rather nasty crank. But apparently luckily for the cat,

310
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: one of the boxer's seams had been opened, so there

311
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: was air to breathe, and the weather conditions had meant

312
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: that she'd not frozen or overheated mild. She hadn't had

313
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: food or water for a few days, but all up

314
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: she was in pretty good nick. One life down, albeit

315
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: but otherwise quite happy. There's a photo of her with

316
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: the story, and she's got that you know when cat's

317
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: eyes go really wide, Yeah, because something you know, just

318
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,560

Speaker 3: comforting voice, but you also had that giggle, you had

380
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 3: that tiky giggle that got us through that on a

381
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: rainy day.

382
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 12: Yeah.

383
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: We did some weird and wonderful things, you know, keep

384
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: people entertained, I hope. And it seemed to work. Yeah,

385
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: it seemed to work absolutely.

386
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 4: Yeah.

387
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: You've worked for decades since then. As you said during

388
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: to your what was it fifty ninth year on the Wiles,

389
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: I say it quickly if okay, what's one of the

390
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: biggest changes you've seen over that time in radio?

391
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Well? Where would I start? I mean, it seems to

392
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: me these days that i'm in the I've always believed

393
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: that radio should be instantaneous and happened right there. And

394
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: then you know, when you talk to people, not record

395
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: stuff and play it back or take it from somewhere else.

396
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: And because people aren't interested in what's going on somewhere else,

397
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: they want to know what's happening here. That's the biggest

398
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: change I Believeeah, the local involvement and the spontaneity and whatever,

399
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: because I love talking to people. You know, listeners call

400
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: up and say, you know, why did you play that?

401
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: And I said, well, because it was number one for

402
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: three hundred weeks or something, that's why. Okay then, so,

403
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: but that's kind of lost because you guys are keep

404
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: you the flag flight. What do I mean?

405
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 4: What about the technology?

406
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we all work, you know, chalk and

407
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: tape and you know, reel to reels and carridges, records,

408
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: things that would wipe out digital.

409
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 4: We watched it.

410
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did all of that too. I mean I

411
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,760

00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: the radio, if I changed my mind, yes, yeah, I thought,

414
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: oh no, we got oh I should do this. Yeah

455
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: something in Sydney on Thursday? So then I'd leave home

456
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning for a bunch of shirts, get home Saturday

457
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: with the same bunch of shirts covered in TV makeup

458
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: and stuff given to my wife and say I need

459
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: this again on Tuesday. She finally said that how long

460
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: do you think this is going to go on? Yes,

461
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: that's where I decided to give up radio here and

462
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: to the Gold Coast and kept doing Will of Fortune

463
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 1: and then they changed their mind about me. And anyway,

464
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: there's another story. Nineteen eighty four.

465
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was quite the controversy actually, as people

466
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: were not happy when you left.

467
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: The show went from the number one to Channel seven

468
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: STAD to lose the news. I'd never done leading, so

469
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: they got rid of me in June. In November they

470
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: offered me my job back.

471
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, you go and come back.

472
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: I'd be talking to Gerry Packer at this through this time,

473
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: who was paying me not to do anything. It's a

474
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: big warehouse, do we wet? So then Channel seven off

475
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,560

Speaker 3: the road beat a country road or in the CBD, and.

599

Speaker 3: Scarverbet Road in Ounstie Park and there was a van

609
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 3: a ute in front of us. They go out and

610
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: he had all these metal rods and I have no

611
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: idea what he had his load, but you can bear

612
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: me every time he every time he went over a

613
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: tiny bump in the road. They were all bouncing off,

614
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: so he didn't have his loads secured properly. And we

615
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: got to we got I said to Lorius, so I'm

616
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: going to back back a little bit because I don't

617
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: trust this guy's tying down technique. And he was turning

618
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: right at Frobisher and he pulled up at the lights

619
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: of Frobisher and some of it started coming off, and

620
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: luckily we were five or six meters back, so we

621
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 3: missed it. And then he's getting out in traffic at

622
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 3: the lights trying to secure his loader. Everyone's in suiting

647
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: I do hate people that drive right up your clacker,

648
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: as can experiences want tails. But I tell you what

649
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: I've got. As you know, I've got a two seater car. Yes,

650
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: and you don't know what it's like very close until

651
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: you're looking in the rear view mirror of a two

652
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: seater car. How close some people feel. I can see

653
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: their nose head.

654
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 4: Sitting up your JAXI get off at all, Get off

655
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 4: or I'm going to go real slide. It's so with

656
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 4: his tappy breaks, I don't.

657
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: What if they're going to do that that backfires.

658
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 4: I could definitely good what happened if more or less.

659
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 10: It really didn't happen to me? But what could have happened?

660
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 10: I was on my way into town and I'm in

661
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 10: behind this car, and this car is the opposite side

662
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 10: of the road and then it gets on and it's

663
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 10: weaving a night, and I thought maybe the guy is drunk.

664
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 10: So every corner and back in Ireland, like the roads

665
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 10: and other street is there here, so every corner could

666
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 10: be a potential smash and be coming on the other

667
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 10: side of the road. So I actually followed this guy

668
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 10: because I thought, this guy needs to get off the roads.

669
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 10: I'll follow him into town. Said he's just weaving in

670
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 10: out of traffic. So I once I got stopped, I

671
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 10: just once he rolled down to Wanda, I took, I

672
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 10: gleaned and took the keys out of the ignition. And

673
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 10: he was a foreign nationally could speak English. Literally, he

674
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 10: wasn't even drunk, you know. And I just as I said,

675
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 10: every corner could be a potential smash, I was just

676
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 10: I was just waiting for a family to come around

677
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 10: the corner. So I just took the keys of gold

678
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 10: cops and around half So that was that was.

679
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, da Damien con citizen right there. But sometimes passed

680
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 4: on who was asleep.

681
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: Once on the freeway just about it was about where

682
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: the narrows is and I was coming home.

683

Speaker 4: chasing National apoons. Keep on sleeping.

689
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,760

Speaker 12: It started to drizzle, but it was raining on the

708
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 12: way way home. And then off in the distance, you know,

709
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 12: I'm looking at at the lights coming over the hill.

710
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 12: And I said to him, am I obviously a bit timed,

714
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 12: sets lights? You could old and you could hear the

715
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 12: you could hear the noise sort of barreling down. And

716
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 12: I looked again.

717
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 4: I looked again.

718
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,239

Speaker 4: Like Max movie. Yeah, absolutely so.

720
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 12: I was looking, you know, looking to exit left, looking

721
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 12: for a road anywhere I could exit. Basicly, basically, it

722
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 12: was two trucks racing each other. And I said, and

723
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 12: it was raining, I had to come off the gravel,

724
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 12: I said to Mom, here we go, Mum, Belma and Louise.

00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 12: it on the grip around here.

728

733
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 12: the and the car shook and I reckon. We sat

734
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 12: there for two minutes, we were both shaking, and just

735
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,680

Speaker 6: Guys heading to the airport in the taxi? Yes, four

750
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 6: lanes of traffic and we're just driving along, very early

751
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 6: in the morning, not much traffic around, and all of

752
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 6: a sudden, there was a little white hatchback just went

753
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 6: from the fourth lane outside straight across in front of

754
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 6: us since the island, yes, in the middle of the freeway,

755
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 6: and basically spun back out of control into the middle

756
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 6: of the other oncoming lanes. And as we drive past it,

757
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 6: all the glass rained down on the vehicle that we're

758
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 6: actually driving in. Oh, we actually had a very near miss.

759
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was close.

760
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,320

761
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's across at about forty four degrees. I don't

762
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 6: know what happened after which we could see in the revision.

763

Speaker 3: could have been in great peril, could have been Yeah.

771
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 3: I just imagine those scenes, you know, the glass in

772
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: one story and the two trucks barreling down like some

773
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 3: stupid road movie.

774
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 2: You know, people talk about things sort of happening in

775
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 2: slow motion. It is weird how that it feels like

776
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: that something like that happen, isn't it.

777
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, And quite often when you're doing country driving at night,

778
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 3: you will see the four lights and you go, someone's

779
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: trying really quickly to have for taken them. I haven't

Speaker 3: realized how long the truck.

781
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 2: Is exactly a big rig, exactly when two things are

Speaker 8: fence on the right hand side of the property, and

790
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 8: I said, be careful stand to the sign cause the

791
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 8: tree is about to come down. As it came directly

792
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 8: towards me.

793
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 4: Oh, jap to run.

794
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 8: And not only not only did it miss me, but

795
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 8: it took out my new fence.

796
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's disappointing.

797
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, so that was that was fun. Only Yeah, it

798
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 8: only missed me by a couple of yds.

799
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 4: Well, so you ran twenty because it was a.

800
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 1: Wow.

801
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: You'll definitely have a close call with a falling tree.

802
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 4: You've got to know what that of that's going on.

803
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 3: You have to know what you're doing. When you see

804
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: those dudes with the ropes and they know what they're doing.

805
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish I was.

806
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're supposed to be supposed to fall towards the house,

807
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 8: but it came directly. Yeah, completely wrong angle.

808
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 4: It's a shame. Oh well, thank you. I'm glad we're

809
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 4: talking to you. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah.

810
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: You see you watch a tree, you know, being chopped

811
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: out talk about things happening in slow motion.

812
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: It looks like it's going slowly.

813
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: I got to have all the time in the world

814
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: to move out of the way, but really it's not.

815
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the key with the tree is to not

816
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: run in a straight line because it might be running

817
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: the length of the trees.

818
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: It's not a crocodile running a straight line. You got

819
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 4: exact running is exact. Well, you've got to go after

820
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 4: in a direction. It's a big it's a big tree.

821

Speaker 3: Report on ninety six FM.

848
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 2: Multiple media outlets are reporting that French actor Gerard Depperdieu

849
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 2: is in police custody this morning for questioning related to

850
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 2: claims of sexual assault. Evidently, seventy five year old Deperdue

851
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: will stand trial in October on charges brought against him

852

853
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 2: twenty one on the set of the movie The Green Shutters.

854
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 2: The case appears unrelated to another sexual assault complaint against

855
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: Depperdeue that was dropped in January, in which an actress

856
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 2: alleged that Depidue sexually assaulted her on the set of

857
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 2: another film in two thousand and eight. A couple of

858
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: live action films are in the works. First of all, Asterix.

866
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, so I

867
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: think we can guess aside from the fact it will

868
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: be based on the Hannah Barbera cartoon.

869
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,840
