Winter Breakfast with Will & Lucy - 8 July 2024

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Yes, a big good morning to you. It is six o nine this Monday morning, the eighth of July. I'd like to welcome in my co host for the next two weeks, and a huge happy birthday for Friday to mister William Goodings. Welcome back, will.

00:00:11
Speaker 2: The only way that was ever going to come up was with you co hosting Lucie, which is an absolute treat or But I don't like making a fuss about my birthday. But thank you. Another year survived, another year navigated. But back on deck and as you say, with you for over the course of the next couple of weeks, which I'm I'm very much looking forward to the early morning bracing the Adelaide cold weather is bracing. But what I thought, I did I do because it always feels like this. I don't know if you have this feeling. You go away for a couple of weeks and it feels like suddenly every big news thing in the world happens. And I had this sort of fomo sense over the course of the last couple of weeks. So I put together my list of top five things that have happened the last two weeks that I'm sad that I missed out on Okay, well I've not said I missed out on just big things that sort of happen over the course of the last two weeks, the first being one that was in the moment felt massive, but then as times progressed, was less. So was the Marian shopping center evacuation that took place.

00:01:04
Speaker 1: I think, where were you on that Sunday afternoon? Had you arrived in BALI?

00:01:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we just we just arrived. We just were settling in and that one was all unfolding, and I was listening to Sam Dado was involved in the coverage and JOHNO. Edwards did a magnificent job on that day listening by the five double a app plug for the app. Download it. You can listen to wherever you are in the world. What's going in Adelaide. Water bills went up, And I say that not as something I missed, more so is that it's amazing the degree to which stuff going up. Now. We're just so battered by cost of living. We just sort of deal with it in the water but usually huge political issue. But I just added to the list of things that are crushing people at the moment.

00:01:43
Speaker 1: Yea extra eighty dollars to say.

00:01:45
Speaker 2: Water, Yeah, thank you very much. The debate, my god.

00:01:50
Speaker 1: I did think Sam was also away last week, and I did think, gosh, there's a lot of people would love to be here this week, but you all picked your holidays, so we them.

00:01:59
Speaker 2: We picked them poorly. I watched that as well whilst I was away, suspecting there might be a chance that it becomes one of the most memorable moments in the history of politics anywhere on planet Earth, and I think it did. It was a disaster.

00:02:10
Speaker 1: Well, it's content. It's the story that continues to give until November.

00:02:13
Speaker 2: Fifth, exactly right, Well, or will it or should it? I just watched that whole thing, thinking who's running the country, our biggest and most powerful ally on this planet, who's actually running that joint? The Crow's got a win whilst I was away, which feels increasingly novel in this day and age. So it was a shame to be a way to be able to talk about that. But I think the number one thing loose and they got me thinking about putting together a list of things I missed was we had Adelaide's coldest day last week, and I knew I'd be doing the show with you. Did you come in? Were you like Douglas Morson? Were you wearing parts of dead possum on your head? We natural fur? What was the get up on the day, because we're in the middle of summer and you've got the north faced jacket on.

00:02:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, funnily enough, the coldest point of the morning hit after I'd arrived at work. It hit at about five am, I think, or just after five, and it was so cold out in the office because our heaters don't kick in till seven am, so I was in here where usually it's freezing, but it was actually warmer in the booth and the studio. So I was huddled up with two puffer jackets on at a blanket and a wheat bag.

00:03:21
Speaker 2: That sounds that's that's kind of what I had picked you yea, yeah, And.

00:03:23
Speaker 1: It did the job absolutely, but it was freezing and it was the coldest place in the state. We spoke to someone from young to last week where it got down to minus five and it hasn't been that cold since, like this morning, the coldest temperature has been only about eleven degrees overnight. So that feels warm because then the next day, which you also missed was the day after the coldest day where everyone thought it was going to still be cold, but it was a barmee sort of seven degrees in the morning.

00:03:49
Speaker 2: Seven barmie seven degrees.

00:03:50
Speaker 1: And that's coming from me, Barmie army seven.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: We're using Barmi for seven, now, are we that we're using the same weather language we're using for the crows near Losses now where it's oh, it was another good effort.

00:04:01
Speaker 1: No, it was all right, Yeah, that's seven degrees. Will take that, Yeah, like the crows win, will take it.

00:04:06
Speaker 2: That's right, that's exactly right. I love to looking for to chatting with our listeners as well. Loose it's wonderful. It'll be back on deck and they're always nice to get a handle on what the people have adelaide making of all the things that are going on around the place. So do give us a call eight double two three double o double or textas on the the Dutton's tech line as well. Is zerre it before eight zero eight thirteen ninety five or and this is a real treat. If you jump on the food Land super Markets Facebook and YouTube live stream, you get to see Lucy in corporate wear, not live on the show, but if there's a there's a bit of a promotional work that's going on as well. Yes, you've got you've been glammed up.

00:04:36
Speaker 1: So working in radio, you don't often get a headshot unless your talent like you and David and Sam and I last year, I'll use it as much as I like with you will now that I'm in charge for two weeks, Sam and I. End of last year, when Stacey joined the team, they wanted to do some marketing shots for her, and we said, Sam and I, we don't have any professional photos. Can we get them done as well? And at this point in time, I was living out of a suitcase for about about a week, so I borrowed some corporate wear from my best friend and had to do my own hair and makeup because because we're just producers, we didn't get the just produced. We walked in at Stacy's in the boardroom getting all glammed up, hair curled, full makeup. She had several outfits there and they said to Sam and I, all right, we'll just squeeze you in in between when they're ready for you. Just be ready.

00:05:25
Speaker 2: Well, and the considered fruits of that enterprising attitude on the live stream this morning, so well worth your time jumping on as always, Yeah.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: Or don't, that's fine, Wake up first, have a coffee first, that might ease you into the day. As Weill said, please text us on the Dutton's text line this morning, save thousands on the Big Miss and demonstrate to say oh now at Dutton's, NISS and Murraybridge easy to do business with. It is six fourteen. We'll be back with headlines next.

00:05:48
Speaker 3: David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double a breakfast.

00:05:53
Speaker 1: Yes, good morning to you. On this Monday, Jay on the Dutton's text line says, happy birthday, Will. It's actually my birthday today as well. Happy birthday to both of us. I will just clarify that your birthday was Friday, but you always seem to miss your birthday because you're on holidays. So we're going to treat today like your birthday. So everyone's sending your happy birthday messages to embarrassed.

00:06:12
Speaker 2: Well I don't, but thank you thanks to those. Someone obviously mentioned it last week on the show because I started getting tweets when I was on holidays.

00:06:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mentioned it, I did you of course I did. I'm a female who remembers people's birthdays.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: Very kind of you have some very lovely listeners started tweeting me congratulations by that funny thing that happens. I'm not sure when in your life, and I think it happens earlier for men than women. I don't want to get augended about it. But my mother called me whilst we were away last week and said, must have been early last week, Monday or Tuesday last week, check in how you're going. I think she just wanted to talk to Rosie, to be honest, and she said, well, if you're lucky, I might give you a call on Friday. All right, see it bye? And I went all right, and we got off the phone and my wife says to me, you have no concept of why she said she might call you Friday, do you? And I went, oh, no, why your birthday on Friday, big day, the big day. So that's good. Gives you a sense of our birthday centric on it. We're excited by the whole thing.

00:07:04
Speaker 1: That's all right, I'll do it for you and gladly our news headlines this morning and we will chat more about this one after seven o'clock. Very sad story out of Taparoux yesterday at all unfolded around lunchtime. Really, but a fifty eight year old woman will face court on a murder charge this morning. Her sixty year old husband was located deceased at Taparou. Just after eight o'clock yesterday, emergency services were called to a Medina Street property after reports the occupant was unresponsive. Major crime, of course investigating. You were an adelaide for that one. Will all the things missed out on and you're back for a really sad story.

00:07:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awful that one. There's a lot to tease out with what precisely has happened and what police are going to allege happened. Well, we'll find out with Jasmine Turnings terrific reporter. At seven after seven o'clock this.

00:07:47
Speaker 1: Morning, the federal government has acured killer drones to bolster the Australian Defense Forces arsenal. The Switchblade three hundreds are designed to loiter in the air, identify a target, and then strike. Reporter lizda Annuals has been following the developments closely, and she says this will be a game changer for our national security.

00:08:05
Speaker 4: They are already a lethal weapon of choice for countries and armies around the world. Having deployed with potency in the war in Ukraine. This is a major announcement to a pointed signal to Australia's enemies that we are keeping up with those defense capabilities.

00:08:22
Speaker 2: It does and belatedly that the ADFS being listened to when it comes to acquiring these sorts of modern technologies to try to try and build this idea that we have a credible to terr Australia is not going to overtake the take over the world, but you don't want to pope the bear because they've got some high quality stuff. Eventually to be nuclear submarines, it's going to be the joint strike fighters, it will be things like drones and so forth, which is good use. I find it a little curious that with that announcement, we don't know how many, we don't know how much they're going to cost.

00:08:52
Speaker 5: You.

00:08:52
Speaker 2: If they did that with the nuclear submarines, well it's going to be a lot, and we are going to say how many we're going to build. Obviously this is on a far, far smaller scar. But I did find that interesting and also I always wonder this when it comes to drones, so they're called came you just Grisstribernes. At what point is a drone not a missile? I always get confused about that. So it goes to a location and it explodes.

00:09:16
Speaker 1: There's a promo video that I watched on YouTube this morning, and I had some really intense, positive upbuilding kind of intense music behind it, but it shoots out of a cannon. So picture at American basketball where there's a T shirt cannon and you pull a trigger and this thing rolls out in a cylinder and then expands when it's in the air. Same deal with these drones. They start off looking like a cylinder and they're fired out of this T shirt cannon looking thing from the ground, and it's then when they get up into the air they have sort of wings that unfold and they're tiny and they've got a little I don't know what you say. It looks like a camera on the end of it, but it's obviously the deployment.

00:09:55
Speaker 2: Edition.

00:09:55
Speaker 1: Yes, so the promo video looked impressive, but then I remember that they were called Kamakazi drones, and I was a little bit scared.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: It's amazing how quickly that technology is coming along in a short time. I think even a decade ago would have been the stuff of science fiction, but things advanced quickly on the battlefield, and they've been used in Ukraine. The thing that scares me about them is that those that are military grade look almost identical to the sorts of people who are pests down at the beach. You ever see people at the beach with a drone. I just find that really weird.

00:10:25
Speaker 1: Leading photos and saying what going on?

00:10:28
Speaker 2: What are you exactly you're filming? Anyway, I leave that to the drone enthusiasts. I think it's great technology, but sometimes it's tedious.

00:10:36
Speaker 1: I don't want to know what they're filming, to be honest. Heat warnings have been issued to one hundred and thirty million people across the USA as record breaking temperatures raise concerns over out of control wildfires. San France or the thermometer rise above forty seven degrees this weekend. Las Vegas has been hovering around forty six. The record breaking heat wave is expected to rise and peak on Wednesday. Another international story, and of course in charge so it's a tennis one. A spectator at Wimbledon has been hit in the face by a rogue tennis ball. Now I haven't picked this because it's Tedtus. This audio I'm about to play for you is very funny. The woman was sitting a few rows back from the baseline during the Alcaraz Humburg game when the ball came off Ourcarras's frame racket framan straight to her. Here. She is very British, this woman. To be honest, I barely saw it.

00:11:24
Speaker 2: I was too busy drinking my pems.

00:11:26
Speaker 1: The full just came super fast, hit me around the face. I fought out of black Eve.

00:11:31
Speaker 6: I don't we're skirt, but my pimals remained intact, so I was happy about that.

00:11:36
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if you're hit the face, Kims is fine.

00:11:39
Speaker 2: You ever been hit by anything going to a tennis match? You've caught a tennis ball?

00:11:42
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't know. I don't think so.

00:11:47
Speaker 2: Whatever head our listeners have sat in cheer squads or things. Anyone have been beamed by a football or cop the going to watch a sporting contest and you've been hit anyway. You can sit close in basketball and happens. Never happened to me, But I wonder if it has to any of our listeners. Let us know, take it to three double O double.

00:12:03
Speaker 1: A tennis ball I think's quite niche because as small as they are, they're like a rocket when it's coming off that quickly. So you've got to be seriously unlucky to cop of tennis ball to the face. But then I guess people who catch baseball's in the crowd. There was one only last week. Some guy was holding a beer and his car keys in one hand and then caught the baseball in the other hand and didn't drop anything.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: Baseball's so bizarre because people go to the game with gloves on.

00:12:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, ready for it open to catch a fotball.

00:12:28
Speaker 2: So it's a little unique.

00:12:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, this woman just wanted to keep her pims and more parents are using tracking apps to keep an eye on their teenagers life three point sixty has seen a thirty six percent increase in Australian newsers last year. A psychologist, though, says using products to monitor children can make it seem normal but be harmful in adult relationships. Weather Today, welcome back to the cold. Weather today will at twelve degrees. Currently in Adelaide, we are going for a top of I think it's about fifteen a bit of rainfall as well. I know we've been talking about rainfall. Before you left. We didn't get as much rain, so you probably had more rain in BALI to be honest, but our biggest rainfall is set to come Thursday. In the lead up to Thursday, though one to four meals today fifteen degrees seventeen shower or two Tomorrow nineteen or Wednesday up to four meals and then Thursday fifteen degrees five to twenty mills.

00:13:20
Speaker 2: We're getting a lot of interesting texts coming through on the Duttons text line Lucy. Andrew makes a really good point. He says, I wish Sapole would use a surveillance drone when tracking offenders instead of disturbing the piece with that incredibly loud helicopter. It's a reasonable point. I suspect Andrew's pointing to something that's inevitable. It feels like that the days of the helicopter are increasingly numbered and that's going to be something that will be both cheaper and potentially more effective. A lot of people, though loose, are texting in saying you need to interrogate Lucy with regard to the movie reviews that you missed. Oh yeah, gamely, Yes, scathing of good Fellers. Yes, you just gave me the most hostile look, and that was worth tuning into the food lands. It's Facebook and YouTube, it's still live stream alone.

00:14:06
Speaker 1: For I'll sum up the Wallace movie bell for you will, scathing review of good Fellas, Yes, my first five star? What was the five star Dead Poet Society?

00:14:15
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a classic.

00:14:16
Speaker 1: You missed a lot while you were gone, All those five stories you had before. Nothing compares to movie.

00:14:21
Speaker 2: Reviews because of the literature that would have sucked you into.

00:14:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, loved English, you know, took me back to my own boarding school experiences, et cetera. I didn't smoke out a cave in the woods and et cetera.

00:14:32
Speaker 2: But you were never involved in a sort of an always poetry game. Was it got together? That was nice kind of think Tom Wren used to get around and get involved in.

00:14:40
Speaker 1: Tom Wren Brought to us by glater Or Colours Custom Design, any house, any style, glateral, garage, doors, glatterol dot com, Dot are you hello.

00:14:46
Speaker 7: Tommy morning, Lucy morning, will Good to have you back, Good to be back reading. Yeah, a couple of weeks off, nice and refreshed, feeling good. A bit of a reach up getting up this morning.

00:14:56
Speaker 2: You always feel refreshed newly, alarm goes up. But now we're good, we're great.

00:15:00
Speaker 7: Look, let's get into our winners and losers for the weekend. Crows, unfortunately, we'll start with yesterday. They pushed them, didn't they They were strong, but they just couldn't quite bridge that three goal lead that the line's got early and it was sort of kept at arm's length. They challenged a couple of times but never quite got there. And the other loser. I'm staggered to hear this, but some media commentators calling for Isaac Ranking to miss six weeks.

00:15:25
Speaker 2: This has gotten out of hand. This is in the moment I saw it, when he's gone. Because the guy got knocked out, he elected to make contact with him and he got knocked down. We know after that point the aport doesn't care. Why, how what er options were? You're done? So you one, maybe two. But in the instant reaction there were online people saying it's four and now six now secrets he didn't bunch the boat.

00:15:46
Speaker 7: I know, it's extraordinary, and these are you know, expert commentators, you know people that know a fair bit about the game. There's a lot of commentary, particularly on Fox Footy afterwards, so we'll wait and see another loser. Already mitched George Ardi's for an incident on the weekend. He cops a week so that's a big blow for them. So look, the match review has been busy with regards to Port Adelaide and now the Crows, so we'll wait to get that a little bit later today.

00:16:11
Speaker 2: And Isaac Haney Renny as well, and Isaac he suggestion he might go, which he's a huge Brownlow favorite.

00:16:16
Speaker 7: It is probably one of the favorites. He was the longtime favorite for much of the early season, drifted back in the last few weeks, but still right up there. So that would be huge for the Brownlow market. As it stands, winners will get to a bit more positive Port Adelaide great win for them. They were are exceptional on the weekend from go to woe. Really the Doggies were flat, but you've got to give credits to Port They blew them out of the water in the first quarter and then sort of kept it from there, led by seven goals at halftime and then just eased to victory. Really they've got a tough run coming home, but it was there three again, Isaac, Sorry kind of rosy, Zach, but as they were sensational and Jason Horn Francis was good, Mit Shure. Jardi's though was exceptional. They're going to miss him if he does miss this week against Old Coast the Thunderbirds, they are a big winner as well. They are sitting top now so looking very good chances to perhaps go back to back, which would be outstanding. Lewis Hamilton won his ninth British Grand Prix race, first victory of any sorts in the Formula One scene in over a thousand days, so that's a great result for him. Shane. Then Gisbergen won over in America. It's like the second tier of the NASCAR series. So he's going to race in the A grade event if you like a little bit later this morning our time, but that's really good for him and Lucy. I know you've been keeping a very close eye on things. But Alex demonor into the second week at Wimbled and he'll play tonight in his fourth round match against Arthur Fields who's a French player, and Eagash Fiontech, she's a loser. She has been knocked out at wimbled and so went down in three sets yesterday.

00:17:46
Speaker 1: So disappointed to Yulia putense of her.

00:17:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right, great match, but just she's really good on clay Fiontech not so good on grass. Doesn't quite have the aura yet.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: To do well on the lawn. I think I like Iger, but has been getting knocked out by lower level players. I think Julia was unseated, Is that correct? Yeah, much lower seeded.

00:18:06
Speaker 7: And certainly not expected to go deep into this tournament or push. But you're right. The grass is very different, obviously a lot quicker than the clay, and she does.

00:18:16
Speaker 2: Battle on that.

00:18:16
Speaker 7: So that's the next step for her is to become better on that.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: For sure.

00:18:20
Speaker 1: I would about to go on a round about Emma RADICANU, but I won't. Ready, we're out of time, so thankfully we won't do that. Lost she did. I'm glad she did. Yes for another day, Thank you, Tommy. We'll head to the newsroom next.

00:18:31
Speaker 3: David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double a breakfast.

00:18:38
Speaker 1: Big welcome back to Will Goodings this Monday, the eighth of July six thirty five. Not too freezing cold in Adelaide this morning for you Will. Having returned from the tropics of Indonesia Bali.

00:18:49
Speaker 2: The warm weather, it's a little different, a.

00:18:51
Speaker 1: Little different, but that's okay. We're thrilled to have you back. A couple of texts on the Duttons text line this morning, this one from Sue Christie's beach. The TV commentary team did their best to make sure the book gets thrown at rank and it was disgusting reporting.

00:19:04
Speaker 2: Yeah I was watching, so yeah, I think people get a little bit excited. I don't know, there's this weird thing that happens in the ANFL that doesn't happen in other sports. We get very excited about seeing stars of the game not playing the sport. Well, I've find the whole I've gone on about this far too much over the journey, so I won't do it again. But yeah, just the excitement everyone gets with four weeks, six weeks. I don't know how we pay money to see good people play football. He didn't kill a bloke anyway.

00:19:30
Speaker 1: Another sporting related one from John and Mitchell Park Morning or Happy Birthday Will for last Friday, Welcome back and is Lucy taking a hit? For the team by not going to the os Open. I think you me and wimbled and John. But if someone can tell me how to get to Wimbledon next year, I'm.

00:19:42
Speaker 2: All is you'll be You will report for anyone, anytime, anywhere.

00:19:46
Speaker 1: I think. I believe they have quite streaked media reporting because I contacted someone asking for a cross and they said no, mine's only limited to dedicated news bulletins, so I can't just jump on the phone. I said, that's fine. I wouldn't know how it works, but if anyone knows how to get to win, woulden where it's a ticket balloting or needs a personal assistant Next July I'm your woman.

00:20:06
Speaker 2: Bit going on in France this morning as well, loose that a few people alluding to no although con saying no doubt in the realm of sport, you'll be interested in France's euro semi final that's taking place Wednesday morning. But their second round of voting just happened in the election that's gone on there, and there was a remarkable turnaround where originally Marien la Penn's right wing party had returned the most votes on that first on the first polling day, and now on the subsequent one. It's the far left party. Emmanuel Macron's Centrist party has fallen in between the two of them. But remarkable turnaround. There's people in the streets and it doesn't take much in France people to go out in light flares. And not surprised about that, but an incredibly surprising result that just played out as we speak. As I look at it over your left shoulder, I.

00:20:51
Speaker 1: Think what people didn't know is last week it was full of the Joe Biden US presidential staff and the UK election. But people in France have a week to go and vote, so their wholelytion was taking place all of last week and now it's all coming out and about and.

00:21:04
Speaker 2: Just quickly loose before you move us on. Quentin says on the Duttons ticks line, I've been hit with a flying footy in the cheers squad mcg Suns Tigers. It was during the warm up. Well, my wife still teases me that I'm like my team and I can't mark a footy. Sorry to hear that, Quentin, but we all wondering if people have been hit by flying objects at sport before this morning.

00:21:24
Speaker 1: Eight double two three, double O, double O would love to chat to you this morning. In the meantime, let's check in with Jade Robin, who is out and about this morning. All thanks to Dutton's for Us. Family owned and operated for seventy five years, they're easy to do business with. Good morning to you, Jade.

00:21:36
Speaker 8: Good morning, Lou slummet Pucky Will. I've got a story when we're at the polo about three years ago. I was chit chatting away on the sidelines. Next thing, Ben's arm just straight past me and he.

00:21:50
Speaker 1: Caught the ball.

00:21:51
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's actually called a ball, the polo ball that they whack it around. It was half a centimeter away from clocking me in the head.

00:21:59
Speaker 2: Then that's completely wiped out, isn't it.

00:22:02
Speaker 1: That's like, yeah, they're fiberglass.

00:22:04
Speaker 2: Oh, that would have done you some serious damage. Knocked out husband.

00:22:09
Speaker 8: I know not all superheroes wear capes.

00:22:13
Speaker 1: There you go.

00:22:15
Speaker 8: But the next bloke I'm about to chat about would definitely be able to get to Wimbledon loose, but he chooses not to. They've got their very own royal box. But he has walked out on his family. And there's reports all around the world this morning that Prince Harry could be heading home, but without his missus Meaghan Markle. Now the news has hit over the weekend because Royal historian and biographer Hugo Wickers he has done an interview and was asked the question about Prince Harry, how he's going, where he thinks he's going to be in the next ten years. And he turned around and he said, well, I think he's absolutely petrified of his wife, and I think that will eventually return home to the UK. He said that, you know, he was his happiest serving in the UK, serving for his people. He said that the King he's spoken to him and that he has left the door wide open for his son to be able to come home and wants him to serve his country, but that now he is petrified with his wife and he looks absolutely miserable, So it will only be time before he comes back. But I don't know about this. I'm not so sure. I mean, the big question here is what about his children. I just can't see him picking, you know, packing up his bags and leaving them back in the United States. But I have often wondered though, when these two children grow up and hear about where dad comes from and you know, and the family life that he had. Would they be tempted to give up their life in la and return and just dabble their toe into the palace and living the high life. I'm not so sure because it has been four years since Mexit, and we all remember the Queen gave her blessing to the couple to you know, spread their wings and go forth and explore the Commonwealth. Well they land did in Canada for a short period of time, but then have made the US home. So it wasn't quite what the Queen wished for them. But I look, I think that he would have some regrets. Surely, if you're human, I think that you know, you'd look back and you'd go Megsit didn't quite look so good. Didn't work out, Probably that they wait that they wanted to. The book was downright nasty, and the Netflix series too, was completely unnecessary, except for the what one hundred million dollars that they pocketed for themselves. But yeah, I think that he may return home, but I reckon it might be a package deal a little bit later on.

00:24:37
Speaker 1: What do you guys think?

00:24:38
Speaker 2: I like the idea of the reverse Harry. That's that's very exciting. Jey don't heard that one before.

00:24:42
Speaker 1: They've gone quiet for the moment, haven't they. Prince Harry and Meghan haven't heard a lot out of them.

00:24:48
Speaker 2: Jade's right. The whole you know, the Mexict thing, the marriage and whether the family got on was one thing the Netflix documentary was the moment that they lost it for May, and that was they might have helped the hip pocket, but it was also hypocrisy. One hundred million dollars is great, but they've just subsequently at the same time, were arguing for privacy. They wanted to take a step out of the public eye.

00:25:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, purely hypocritical.

00:25:15
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's credibility vacuum.

00:25:19
Speaker 1: To further enhance the potential lack of credibility. Where they lost it for me was when they launched their podcast or the podcast company what was archer Types or Archetypes or something, and they produced one podcast in something like eighteen months. They made a big song and dance about the Spotify deal and they made one podcast.

00:25:39
Speaker 2: It's tough to find stuff to talk about those tough to find content.

00:25:44
Speaker 1: I would give anything to just have another Royal on the show, just for ten minutes. We had Zara Tindall. Of course when they were here for the Adelaide five hundred, she was a a VIP guest. I was going to say a guest, but obviously VIP. But if Prince Harry wants to come on and instead spend more time on our show than his podcast, I'd welcome it.

00:26:04
Speaker 2: Hopefully he doesn't see the transcripts of things we've said about him in the past, but it's all would be in the past if he wouldn't want to come on. Another person texted in a while ago at the gabber, I marked the footing in the first tier above ground level and throw it back to the umpire. A few ball related incidents from five Double A listeners, Sam Dado's Hi, would you get hit by a tire that came off of V eight soeping?

00:26:21
Speaker 6: No, no, no, it's a footy one. I've got one for you. Two thousand and four AFL Grand Final, Port Adelaide v. Brisbane.

00:26:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:26:29
Speaker 6: We are sitting seated behind the goals. I'm like nine or ten. I'm in the middle of My dad's on my left, my brother's on my right. A goal has been kicked, my brother on my right's going for it. It's going straight into his hands. Just before he grabs it and clunks it. Dad's come across with the fist, the big golden fist, and punches it away.

00:26:48
Speaker 2: Dad. What was her voice of defender?

00:26:50
Speaker 1: Did so?

00:26:51
Speaker 6: He was a rottman back in the day. Is so he's just thought, I'll protect my kids here in the layer ground. My brother's been ropable ever since two thousand and four.

00:26:58
Speaker 2: Kicked the goal.

00:26:59
Speaker 6: I can't remember.

00:27:00
Speaker 2: I was about nine, but it was a port goal, I think so and Reese and his my moment of glory not in my area. Job, Dad, Good work, Dad, that's magnificent work.

00:27:12
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sam. The last time you enjoyed going to a port game? Perhaps? Anyway, we'll leave that for a discussion out in the booth, shall we. Let's check you.

00:27:19
Speaker 3: David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to line five, double a breakfast.

00:27:24
Speaker 1: Yes, David's having a bit of an extended holiday, no doubt somewhere warming up. I'm sure it is six forty seven this Monday, the eighth of July. Jump on the foodline Supermarkets Facebook live stream and watch the graphics for our weekly forecast go up in a moment. But to tell us more, of course, from the Bureau of Meteorology is Chris Kent tell it Chris, Hello, how are you good? Thank you? Now, I know the rain is set to come on Thursday, but what are we in for leading up to that?

00:27:48
Speaker 9: Yeah, so he's still got a chance of some showers around today. Do have a weaker frontal system moving across the south of the state, So yeah, I could see a little bit of rain about the place today top of fifteen degrees today. Tomorrow also sort of a bit of a the odd shore about as well, top of seventeen degrees. Probably less likely to see any rainfall tomorrow though, but yeah, Wednesday pretty warm, nineteen degrees on the forecast, but yeah, that rain coming in later in the evening with sort of yeah overnight's Thursday bringing some more significant rainfall for Adelaide, So I could see sort of in the order of so yeah, five to ten millimeters, maybe up to twenty millimeters in the Mount Lofty ranges. So yeah, a bit of a rainfall later in the week, but yeah, I can't get away from the showers just in the meantime.

00:28:46
Speaker 1: We all missed out on our colder s day in South Australia this year, Chris, are we likely to see temperatures that low? I mean overnight it was eleven point five degrees at three point fifty eight this morning, so remarkably warmer than last week.

00:28:58
Speaker 9: Correct. Yeah, that high precious is them that was responsible for those cooler nights as moved off into the Tasman scene now so back into a normal sort of yet wintry pattern now with a front moving through, so unlikely to see temperatures getting that low sort of yeah in the near future. Yeah, for the remainder of the week, minimums should be sort of holding around the sort of high single figures, around ten or so degrees.

00:29:24
Speaker 2: Glad to hear it. Gruse, thank you, Thanks for Chris.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: Let's head over to ESA police now send. It comes from David bachus Is on the line.

00:29:31
Speaker 10: Morning to you, David, Good morning, Lucy.

00:29:34
Speaker 1: First of all, person called at Salisbury Park after breaking into a car dealership.

00:29:38
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right, just after nine pm last night. Please responded to the car dealership on Manial's Throat at Salisbury Park after silent alarms were activated. They were quickly on sane and when they entered the building to conduct a search, they found a damage window and a thirty seven year old man holding a screwdriver. So search of that man located items from the business, a mobile phone which they suspect was solon, and an ice pop. So he's been arrested for serious criminal trespass, theft and unloft possession and possessing drug equipment.

00:30:04
Speaker 2: But it sounds like David broke into a car dealership but not planning to steal any cars.

00:30:09
Speaker 10: Yeah, looks that way. Stole all sorts of things, but no cars.

00:30:15
Speaker 2: By all accounts, his stories went in a different direction to what I was imagining. David also high range drink driver creation or tree at North Brighton yesterday afternoon.

00:30:25
Speaker 10: Yeah, this happened about four point thirty pms today. Some emergency service was called to Ilfracombe Avenue after reports for Toyota kroler and colliding with a tree. Witnesses there reported that the driver was attempting to drive away, but members of the public were able to keep him there and when police arrived on the scene, they spoke with the driver of the vehicle, who fortunately wasn't injured, and the driver, sixty one year old man from North Brighton, submitted to a breath test and that returned a positive result of zero point two to eight over four times a legal limits. So yeah, very concerning behavior. So his vehicle was hid from the scene. He's been reported for drink driving and drive without true care and lost his license to twelve months.

00:31:01
Speaker 1: A couple of high range drink drivers this weekend, David, yesterday and I was reporting on someone who was five times a legal limit and another woman who was a high range drink driver. Is it anything about this time of year or it's just another weekend on the job.

00:31:14
Speaker 10: Oh, I think it's just another weekend on the job. Yet it's really disappointing that people still think they can get away with this and putting themselves and other people at very high risk. But you know, it just shows that if you do it, there's a really good chance you're going to get caught.

00:31:28
Speaker 1: Definitely. And finally, David, do you have an update for us on the Taparau murder yesterday morning?

00:31:34
Speaker 10: Yeah, So that occurred about a forty yesterday. Emergency services were called to a home on Madina Street at Taparu after reports an occupant there was unresponsive and when they police have arrived, they found a six year old man who sadly was deceased, and a fifty eight year old woman from that address who was known to the man, was placed under arrest and she's now been charged with murder and refused bail. She'll appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court today and the investigation is continuing.

00:32:01
Speaker 2: Thank you for that, David Senia Constable David Back is from sayfaul of more on that story and that allegation after seven o'clock today with Jazz Turlings from seven US has been reporting on it extensively.

00:32:12
Speaker 1: We mentioned earlier while you're away, the most fascinating presidential debate possibly of history took place. And over the weekend, of course, the news hasn't stopped, the audio hasn't stopped. Of Joe Biden, He's been forced to defend himself a lot. Here is some of his interview in the States over the weekend.

00:32:28
Speaker 11: It's a bad episode. No, only kid's very serious condition has exhausted. I did listen to my hands thinks in terms of preparents and if the Lord of money conn I said, jogging out of the race, I go the race of the Lord on Money's not coming down the pause, it's.

00:32:48
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not this isn't sustainable. Someone made the analogy the other day that this entire this this period of Joe Biden's presidency feels a bit like when a sporting coach is about to be sacked and everyone's in the No, he's got the full backing of the board. Stage. It has to be that. It has to be well head of the US and now, because as we even speak, there are now more people coming forward saying that this isn't sustainable than it needs to be a change, and it cannot be to Joe Biden to contest Donald Trump at the November presidential election. David, what would good morning to you? It were started with donors immediately in the aftermath, David, of the debate. And now it seems it's rank and file Democrats who are now putting their names to comments about Joe Biden whether he should stay in the race.

00:33:34
Speaker 12: Yeah, and not just any Democrats, guys, these are now senior Democrats. So in the past ten minutes up here on Capitol Shield, we have just had four more of them now join those calls. So we thought were sort of had five in the past few days that have been leading those calls for Joe Biden to withdraw his Candida seats. Then there was an emergency call today while Joe Biden was actually out campaigning in one of those battleground states, Pennsylvania. They've had this major call, including the Houseman leader he was on it as well. And that call has just wrapped up in the past twenty minutes or so, and now four more are now going public and they have put their names and faces to this. Of course has known in the past, we can half really Ever since that debate performance and what a chopper was for Joe Biden, more and more Democrats have been background in the media. They have been really pushing this with the campaign against that. You've been trying valiantly to try and punch on through all of this and get a couple of public appearances. But look, he was pretty auto Q and Tully prompt tied at that stage. He wasn't really going off off the caff Today though he has. He's been out there with those supporters in Pennsylvania, and we've seen a bit more of Joe Biden, that retail politician, but it just hasn't been enough for these seniors Democrats. They wanted to see more and they don't think they can turn it around in time to actually beat Joe Biden. So they are now in this position, and we're now expecting more and more Democrats to join it, now that these senior ones have actually put their name to their court to now join this move against Joe Biden.

00:35:03
Speaker 2: What are the key dates with regard to this, David, With the Democratic Convention and sort of the drop dead date for changing a candidate for the presidency of the United States.

00:35:13
Speaker 12: It's incredibly difficult at the moment. The mechanism by which you can actually get Joe Biden out of this is very hard. The easiest and the most bloodless way that they could do it is to actually convince the president well before the actual Democrat Convention, which is in another four or five weeks or so, so they can get Joe Biden to actually come to the well and come to that decision himself. That would be the best result. Now for Democrats, we know that in the past forty eight hours, so many have really been talking up the chances of Tamala Harris, and really she's the only viable candidate at this point, and it would be an absolutely shock if Joe Biden left and he wasn't replaced by Kamala Harris, so by blasting him out. I don't know if that is an option for Democrats right now. The mechanism by which they actually do that now be holding pugging that they can convince the eighty one year old to throw him the towel, go gratefully and then help during his campaign.

00:36:08
Speaker 1: David, thank you very much for that text here on the Duntons text line from Rob and I didn't watch actually much of the debate at all, but Rob says, well, during the Biden Trump debate, when Joe said he had a golf handicap of six and Trump said, that's the biggest lie tonight, I thought that was one of the moments that shows how quick witted Trump is, whether you like him.

00:36:27
Speaker 2: Or not, without a doubt. I mean, Donald Trump, you might hate the guy. He's very funny here. He is incredibly quick.

00:36:35
Speaker 13: I just won two regular club championships. To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way. And I do it. He doesn't do it. He can't hit a ball fifty yards. He challenged me to a golf match. He can't hit a ball fifty yards and you know what if I didn't do well, I hate him.

00:36:50
Speaker 11: You're going to see he is six foot five and only two hundred and twenty third fives. Just take a look at what he says he is, Take a look at what he is. Look can't be happy to have a driving country, By the way he taughts me before, I'm happy to play golf. If you carry your on bag, I think you can do it.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: It was the most it was probably the most ludicrous described exchange of what was it? Just did entirely shocking debate. Trev sent us a text says, morning, guys and girls regarding the US election, the elephant the room, who's been running the country? I thought the same thing watching it, Trev, just watching the entire thing, unfollowed thought, this bike has not been in any has no capability to be making big calls and decisions. So when they're in the room and they're making big policy decisions or strategic determinations, is it a chief of staff, is it a high ranking democrat? Is it his wife who in there is ultimately making the decision? You can't vote for the guy, and this is why he'll get obliterated to the election.

00:37:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. He even made the point himself in this interview when they've said do you need to take a cognitive test, and he says, I take one every day I'm busy running the country.

00:37:51
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't believe it. I just don't believe it. Another text from Fred who says Joe Biden reminds me of John Howard. Both didn't know when to retire. John Howard was sixty four sixty three at the time we're having these these conversations. It was almost twenty years younger than Joe Biden will be at the end of next this next election cycle, if he was to be returned. It's it's yeah, I understand this sort of the equivalency, but in many respects in terms of terms of forget age. And a lot of our listeners have admonished David and I in this conversation, I think rightly for saying this is a question of age, it's a question of capacity and capability. There's plenty of people that are older than Joe Biden that I think demonstrate the total capacity to manage whatever the hell they want to in their lives, because they can speak lucidly they clearly have all their faculties. Still it's a sad I think medical reality that he quite demonstrably just simply does not. And that's why this has been such an extraordinary story. To David's point, David Wywood from seven US, So another four Democrats have come forward. I can only believe there is two types of Democrat in the United States right now. There are those that publicly will say he needs to go, and there are those that think it but won't publicly say it. I cannot believe there are anybody, as anybody in that party it thinks will be best served by going to the election with the incumbent president.

00:39:08
Speaker 1: That's happened quickly this time. Yesterday it was only five Democrats. Yeah, who've come out? Now it's for.

00:39:13
Speaker 2: There's going to be more. Sixty eight in two thousand and seven, Sam Dad, I just a bit a live fact checking sixty eight, Yeah, because it was ahead of the Sorry, it wasn't a head to be sixty fifth birthday. It was the looming seventieth birthday coming up again.

00:39:23
Speaker 1: We're talking thirteen years younger.

00:39:26
Speaker 2: Eiurteen years younger.

00:39:27
Speaker 1: Six point fifty nine. Let's head over to the newsroom. Before our morning rap of the.

00:39:30
Speaker 3: Stories David Benberthe and Will Goodings six to line five double a breakfast.

00:39:36
Speaker 1: David is having a couple of extra days off on holiday here. We'll be back soon, but now it is Will and I are taking you through the morning. Still a bit dark outside, but definitely not as cold as we had last week, which Meil Will you missed out on, but lovely twelve degrees as you're heading into work this morning. Coming up, we will be chatting with Stephen Rowe shortly about the Crows win and after seven point thirty a marathon runner who perhaps deserved it more than most Ben hired given it definite second chance of life after that horrific car accident right here in the city and recently has competed in the Gold Coast Marathon on the weekend. I know a heap of South Ausies went up to compete, all different kinds of records broken. There was one woman running in an inflatable doctor suit for the whole thing, no why not? And a man we talked about last week on the show who was aiming to beat the record of someone who's run the marathon the fastest in an inflatable dinosaur suit. So if you run a marathon in some kind of costume, we'd love to hear from you today. A double two three, double O, double O or texas on the Duttons text line say thousands of the bigness and demonstrator saale on now at Dunn's Miss and murray Bridge easy to do business with zeroa before eight thirty ninety five. Marathon's certainly not on my bucket list.

00:40:43
Speaker 2: No, and not dressed up in anything in novel either, I would have thought. But you know what, if you can do it, you better than I am. A lot of good Dutton's texts coming through from people. In that first hour. We had a little news item that ignited a little weird tangent where we started talking about people that have been struck by objects while at sporting events. Because a woman had been at Wimbledon and she was having a sip ofverb pims and was sconned by a tennis ball.

00:41:05
Speaker 1: But remarkably and importantly, the pims was not spilt.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: That's right, priorities. I find this remarkable if true. Someone said the weak Nikolas Spuria told us not to touch the ball at the footy. We were sitting behind the goals with the Geelong cheer squad where they were supposed to be, but they weren't allowed to travel, and Mitch Juncan hit me on the chest with a goal from fifty Security then scrambled to bring the hand sanitizer to me. Still no recorded cases of transmission from touching the football. No pizza box, No pizza boxes. That's right, thank you for that, Andrew. This sounds serious and nasty, says I got the tennis ball right in the middle of my eye socket, thrown mischievously, not maliciously, by a student during a yard duty at Full Pelt Toll the Retna several bounts of laser surgery to repair. I wasn't overly impressed, but all is forgiven. You're a good man, Andrew.

00:41:53
Speaker 1: That's so polite. I wasn't overly impressed.

00:41:55
Speaker 2: Ye oh, maybe given to understatement is our Andrew. Keep those ticks coming through. Ben Jordan makes the point on John howden retirement in the context of the Joe Biden conversation. He retired whilst he was sixty eight when he lost in two thousand and seven. However, it was two thousand and one when his age was first raise he may he's famous when I'm sixty four comment that he would consider his future. So at that point he was just sixty two, so my memory does not farm. It was before his sixty fifth birthday that this was originally a conversation in Australia, which is twenty years sooner than it has been for Joe Biden in the United States. Let's check in on what is the biggest story in Adelaide as we wake up this morning. A police of arrested woman and charged her with murder following the death of a man at Taparu yesterday morning. Jas Turlings for seven News has been covering the story extensively. Ja has been good morning to you, good to chat. What do we know about this case that's e merged in the twenty four hours since the early hours yesterday morning.

00:42:52
Speaker 5: Well, good morning.

00:42:53
Speaker 14: Will.

00:42:53
Speaker 15: The fifty eight year old has spent the night in the Port Adelaide cells before she's expected to front the Port Adelaide Magistrate's court later today. Now. Prosecutors will allege Carol Hopkinson, who has worked as a mental health nurse, murdered her sixty year old husband, Simon Hopkinson, before calling emergency services to the scene herself. Now, this all unfolded around eight forty yesterday morning in Medina Street Taparu, and the street was blocked off for most of the day. Now. Neighbors say the couple have lived at the address for a number of years and were often seeing walking their dogs. So I guess that will be the center of the police investigation moving forward. And detective say he is assisting police with their investigation, but they're not expected to make any further arrest.

00:43:39
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound us, though, Jasmon, from the chats you've had with the neighbors and people in the area, that there was any suspicion that there was some something nasty or something going wrong in this relationship.

00:43:48
Speaker 15: Was there No, Absolutely not. A couple of the neighbors we've spoken to have said, look, they seemed like a very happy couple. One neighbor did comment that they often don't see them walking together. But for the most part, everyone on the street was shocked as this news broke yesterday morning.

00:44:06
Speaker 2: There's a shocking story and I will await the court appearance to find out more abound the circumstances. What transpired on the Saturday night of this weekend, Gone and we'll await more of those revelations and you're excellent reporting on seven News Jazz. Thank you, Jasmin Turlings from seven News that incident taking place in Taparu just over twenty four hours ago here in Adelaide, Federally, a big defense announcement this morning. The Australian Defense Force is going to be armed now with a new Switchblade three hundred killer drones, three hundred being the name of the drone, not how many. We don't know how many they're going to be, nor how much they're going to cost. These drones that have been made by the United States being used extensively in Ukraine at the moment, and they've been proven to be incredibly successful in fighting the Russian advances in that part of the world, so much so the Australian Defense Force is seeing fit now to buy a whole stack of them. As I said, we don't know how many, we don't know how much they're going to cost. They will be in service by November, so there's not a huge turnaround time. And it is part of this new defense posture in Australia where we're trying to signal to everyone that there's a credible terrent that exists within the Australian Defense forces. What's Orcus is about, It's what's acquiring these new advanced technologies like drones, like missiles with range now that can forward attacks war before they reach Australian shores. So that's a big defense story that's going to break over the course of the day as well.

00:45:28
Speaker 1: Loose you like space, will love spot is a question that David Bowie posed to us. All post it in a very theatrical way, Old.

00:45:46
Speaker 2: Bowie, don't tell me. They've found life on Mars LuSE and we've run it as our third lead story at seven o five.

00:45:51
Speaker 1: No, not quite, not quite, but researchers once again trying, I mean every so often people are trying to do it. This latest group of scientists have spent more than a year three hundred and seventy eight days sealed inside a simulated Mars habitat. I know about this, yes, So they've hit day in of a three hundred and seventy eight to help NASA prepare for a future mission to the Red planet. I mean more than a year in a simulated Mars habitat. They've been carrying out experiments growing food and practicing spacewalks. This news headline specifically says these crew members have described the experience as unique with great challenges, joys and sorrows. Yeah, I'm sure, but give us some better words than that. What does a Mars simulation room look like?

00:46:38
Speaker 2: It sounds miserable because it's all the downsides of going to Mars with none of the upside. So you get you're in captivity, effectively looked away in a.

00:46:45
Speaker 1: Cell, yet down the road from your family.

00:46:47
Speaker 2: That's right. You can't have real contact with anyone in any meaningful way, and yet you don't get to tell everyone you were the first person to live on Mars. It sounds like the worst job on planet Earth. Important work, though, but a lot of it's about there's there's the physiology in the biology of what happens if you can't move far and they check you in over your health and things. We've got data on that from the space station. My understanding when this was first talked about was that a big part of it was about the social element of it. What happens to people were you just locked in a small confined for that length of time with what happens to those relationships? Do you end up hating each other? Do you do you get depressed? You know, there's all these sorts of social elements that are being examined as well.

00:47:27
Speaker 1: Well, here's the question. Would you rather be locked in a room simulating another planet for three hundred and seventy eight days with someone that you work with and know already, or would you rather it to be a complete random and you have to get to know them in that time? What would you rather?

00:47:42
Speaker 2: Which person I work with? Is it loose? If it was you, I think I would drive you nuts, well before you drove me nuts.

00:47:49
Speaker 1: Totally. Yeah, really on board with that, glad we have a mutual theory.

00:47:54
Speaker 2: You could have just hesitated for three seconds.

00:47:57
Speaker 1: You said, no, no, my mind was made up at the start of this store. Sorry. But as a social experiment, if regardless, if they're doing the science experiments, can you actually can we survive on Mars being locked in a room for a year. Would you rather be with someone who actually no one like or with a total random? I mean people who live as random?

00:48:15
Speaker 2: No no one says a random, do they? Everyone would want it to be with someone they know and like.

00:48:20
Speaker 1: But then again, you know I've had falling out with housemates who have been best friends.

00:48:26
Speaker 2: Is the risk factor.

00:48:27
Speaker 1: There is the risk, but getting to know someone too well and you're too close and you get on each other's nerves and how to approach it.

00:48:34
Speaker 2: Whereas if it's a stranger.

00:48:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get to know that's right, Okay, you feel that's maybe that's too philosophical.

00:48:42
Speaker 2: For this time. You've applied a high level of thinking to it that I'm capable of. Blues. I'm going to chew over that whilst we we should put up a picture. That's Darryl sent us skip who says Skippy at ol Dinger Beach el Dinger Beach Road, All Dinger, there are four kangaroos bouncing around down there. Four kangaroos at all Dinger Beach this morning, so keep be aware of that. Thank you for that to text Darryl on the Dutton's text.

00:49:06
Speaker 1: Line one here as well from Ali, Hi, guys, we were spectators at the Gold Coast Marathon yes day. Got a bit of footage of the dinosaur the man running in the dinosaur. Thank you Ali from Glenelgeast. Ali text us back, who were you there to watch? Were you just there on holiday? And thought you'd watch the Gold Ghost Marathon. I think again, if you're going to do a marathon somewhere like New York or the London Marathon, even Gold Coast would be gorgeous, but still not on my bucket list.

00:49:33
Speaker 2: And you're a runner, you've played down the fact that you can actually run.

00:49:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean for forty two point two kilometers or whatever it is.

00:49:40
Speaker 2: There's better ways to spend an afternoon.

00:49:42
Speaker 1: Better ways to spend an afternoon. Speaking of which, just quickly, I'd love to hear from our wordle players. I've never played wordle, but someone on my Twitter feed just posted their score of today. People still play wordle? Is what I'd love to know.

00:49:54
Speaker 2: My sense and wordle is that people that play it. I think everyone's playing it and then everyone else kind of that doesn't understand whether this phenomenon still exists anymore or not.

00:50:03
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking eight double two three double O double O. Are you our biggest wordle fan on the show. I've had numerous people ask me if I've ever played it, and I haven't because people assume that I would be playing it.

00:50:16
Speaker 2: You've got a bit of a word will look do you? That's good.

00:50:18
Speaker 1: What is it? What it's about?

00:50:19
Speaker 16: It?

00:50:19
Speaker 1: The word will? Look? What is it? Do? I is it because I've got my phone glued to my left.

00:50:23
Speaker 2: Handiction loose, That's what it is. And you're a wordsmith. People think, oh luzi all over the word stuff.

00:50:31
Speaker 1: Well, this person who I saw on my Twitter feed got today's one in two guesses. So I'm not going to reveal what it was for those who still play it. I don't want to spoil the fun. But I've never played it, but it just I wondered if if people still played. Yeah, he says, it's word will number one, one hundred and fifteen.

00:50:46
Speaker 2: It got purchased by the New York Times, I think as part of their games. Was originally an independent thing, and then I got bort and some people had concerns that it started to become politically motivated, you know it subliminal five letter word messages. I think to you, I think we've got Linden on the line. Is called in an eight double two three double o double did you Oh? Sorry, Eugene, Eugene in Linden Park. I'm out of practice, Eugene, Sorry, good morning.

00:51:08
Speaker 12: I was going to speak about whether it be someone you know, a complete trader, I hockon.

00:51:12
Speaker 17: We're going to go a complete trader. We're gonna have mass, We're gonna have Maths Mars edition.

00:51:18
Speaker 1: So turn it into a TV show, Eugene.

00:51:20
Speaker 17: Exactly, exactly.

00:51:23
Speaker 2: You know it's a good idea, you Gene. I like that. Let's send Eugena five double breakfast. Marg rob On The Dutton's text line says, couldn't the scientists have just watched every season of Big Brother, which I think is excellent. The idea that the the the Habitation of Mars was built around how Ryan Fitzgerald performed whilst in captivity for two months back in two thousand and three or whenever.

00:51:43
Speaker 1: It was that itself is a science experiment.

00:51:45
Speaker 2: It would be absolutely superb. Let's go to Christy's beach.

00:51:49
Speaker 16: So good morning, Good morning folks.

00:51:51
Speaker 2: How are you good?

00:51:52
Speaker 1: So tell me you're still doing the word or aren't you? So?

00:51:54
Speaker 5: I still do.

00:51:55
Speaker 16: Word every single day. I share it on Facebook. I had a friend who does it and shares it with her friend just privately, and that's all.

00:52:04
Speaker 17: Today.

00:52:05
Speaker 16: It took me six and there was still an option.

00:52:08
Speaker 2: Oh, peo, got it? Do you ever not get it?

00:52:09
Speaker 18: Soon?

00:52:10
Speaker 10: No?

00:52:10
Speaker 16: I've never not got it, but I've been thought for me since I realized you can cheat.

00:52:16
Speaker 2: What do you mean you can cheat?

00:52:17
Speaker 16: Well, depending how many devices you've got. Okay, let's say I do it on my phone and I don't get it out. It tells me what word was. So then I get on the computer and I'll get it into it and I tell my friends how clever I can.

00:52:28
Speaker 2: Send through the fake score.

00:52:30
Speaker 1: Yes, So, sir, have you been playing for the past one one hundred odd days?

00:52:34
Speaker 16: I would think so, I've been playing for quite a long time. Well, and then I do cordal when I'm done with that.

00:52:41
Speaker 12: That's four words you have to get.

00:52:42
Speaker 1: I don't even know that. That's not we can dedicate an entire show to phone.

00:52:46
Speaker 2: You're operating on a higher plane than us. So just last week, Wen Zach, we need more information from you. You should call in and brag about your wife. Zach. Text that are saying there was a one hundred k running race in Adelaide on the weekend. My wife came third. Maybe Lucy can give that ago a hundred k's that's.

00:53:03
Speaker 1: From Adelaide up to my farmhouse where I grew up in the Clare Valley. I could just run home every now and again to the parents.

00:53:09
Speaker 2: That's not what the race is, it's the equivalent.

00:53:11
Speaker 1: That's the equivalent distance is from Adelaide to Auburn Cays.

00:53:14
Speaker 2: How do you train for that two and a half marathons effectively?

00:53:17
Speaker 1: Give it a crack. Just give it a crack, Zach.

00:53:19
Speaker 2: We need to know more. You're obviously very patient understanding for the lay your wife to go running for what would must be I don't know. Six hours at.

00:53:25
Speaker 3: A time, David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five, double a breakfast Rowie.

00:53:31
Speaker 1: Just in a moment, here's a text from Maria. Good morning, heard you talking about the Gogos Marathon. This coming September. Both my sons will be running in the fiftieth anniversary of the Berlin Marathon. Last year, my oldest son took part in the New York Marathon with a time of four hours twenty Needless to say, one very proud mum. Thank you for your text, Maria. Look, one day I might get inspired and have it on my bucket list, but instead here is someone instead who has done a marathon.

00:53:56
Speaker 3: Stephen on five double a breakfast.

00:54:02
Speaker 2: Money.

00:54:02
Speaker 17: Here are we Hey, lucid Will, good morning. Good to have you all back. A people for that. They their back, aren't They smashed the bull Dogs by eight goals. We're only what one game off second and a half a game off third? When that midfield starts to crank up as a unit, and I think that's the key. When they get that mix right, they're going to be mighty mighty hard to beat. And I go back to what Connor Rosey said in the bye when they were struggling. He said, we've got time to get this right, and when we do, look out so well done. The only drama Mitch Georgiatis will suspended. They're not going to challenge that. He's done. He'll get a game.

00:54:40
Speaker 2: Yeah. I got this horrible feeling ROWI that we're going to spend a bit of the next couple of minutes talking about suspensions.

00:54:46
Speaker 17: Oh god, Well, let's go to the Crows. They were you know what, they were plucky, competitive in the fight, all the things we've come to expect under Maddie Nicks. They're just simply out of their weight division, no question about that. Lose by eleven I thought was a credit to him. They were in the fight as we said, but the line star started midfield in that front six, the back six, how they just stopped the ball. They'd more scoring shots. They were just simply too good. In the end, I guess the Crows are one or two or three A graders away from being half beast or in the eight or pushing for it. But sadly one of our A graders, Isaac Rankin, well he's in all sorts. It was a silly thing to do. Will did you see it?

00:55:27
Speaker 2: I saw it and the moment the blake went off Stacevich, wasn't it When he went off can cast he was done? He was dead? Was that ranking? As far as the match of you panels concerned, you'll get I thought, well, he's got a week or two because it wasn't like he went and pole axed him and ran off the line, but he elected to bump into him and knocked him out, So he'll cop it. But some of the suggestions Row people are saying four weeks or six weeks surely.

00:55:53
Speaker 17: Well, look, it was a brain faith. He bumped, so it was intentional. He got him high, so it was high contact and it'll be high impact unless they can argue that down because the player went off. They hit heads, so that was accidental, but it was off the ball. It was up the middle. As I said, they hit head starts which was subbed off. That's the thing that's going to hurt him. But once it's classed a is intentional, you're in all sorts. Look the fingers crossed at lands at one or two, but even at one or two, it's critical to the team. If it lands at two or three or four. Oh boy wow, we I mean, that's just going to put adapt right on the season. He's probably with Dawson, they're two best players and they just don't have the class to cover that sort of player. He's a match winner. He saw his first half the week before. I think he was frustrated. They did a job at him and he couldn't get the ball, and that's the way he retaliated. He knows better than that. I'm a bit disappointed, but you know, it is what it is.

00:56:49
Speaker 2: Getting sick of these Monday mornings of moral victories with the Crows rowing.

00:56:53
Speaker 17: I know, I know, But do you think my analogy is right? They're in the fight, but they're out of their way.

00:56:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think they did well? I think they played pretty well yesterday. It's quality oppositions, so that's good. But you know, I just felt like we were going to twenty twenty four was the year where we got past, you know, just doing well and being in the fight. It was going to be winning good games. But you know that's all by.

00:57:13
Speaker 19: The bye, I know.

00:57:14
Speaker 17: And look they're one or two or three eight graders away from it. You know, you have a look at North Melbourne's midfield now that Clarks is building. I remember they had Jase storn Francis. You start putting him back in that team. You have a look at Hawthorne. You build from your midfield. And this has been my big critical of what we're doing. Midfields speak to Campo. They win games, midfields win finals, midfields win Grand finals. Now you need the sum of all the pieces. But if I was blind Freddie and I was putting the position to build a team, That's where I'm building from. And you build it from the draft over multiple years and then trading in and retention. Anyway, fair enough about that, Cornsy in Traiders in live after for good to have you back.

00:57:57
Speaker 2: Good to be back, RAWI you looking forward to listening this afternoon.

00:58:00
Speaker 1: Thanks Rowe, Rowe and timmoj on the Sports Show from four.

00:58:02
Speaker 3: O'clock, David Pemberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five Double a Breakfast, Good morning too.

00:58:08
Speaker 1: This Monday morning, Lucy and Will in the breaky chairs. Will is back from a holidays. David still away for a little bit longer, but he will return soon. We've been chatting about marathons this morning. We'll get to that in the moment. Also, after eight o'clock today, we're heading up to William Creek. We're praying for rain down here, but William Creek had an absolute bizarre wrenching that's stranded tourists up in that area. We'll speak with Trevor Wright, who not only owns the William Creek Pub, but he's also the rescue pilot.

00:58:34
Speaker 2: To be more busy weekends in that part of the world. I was surprised to read lose. Sam puts together a sort of a collated bit of data for us with regard to rain stats month by month, every day when we come in and whereas last month we were above the national average eighty three point eight meals for June. So far in July, it's been cold this past week, but not a whole lot of rain, just half a mill.

00:58:54
Speaker 1: On the gauge, not any city, not even any drizzle. So we're praying for some rain to come. Comment here on the Foodland Supermunket's Facebook live stream from Michelle, My future daughter in law is an iron woman. On Saturday, she runs seventy three point eight kilometers. Took her eight hours. It was her own.

00:59:10
Speaker 2: Challenge, her own challenge.

00:59:11
Speaker 1: Imagine setting herself her own challenge to run nearly seventy four kilometers. Someone who's definitely said his own challenge is Ben Hyde from the Advertiser Adelaide car crash survivor, well known to many, and Ben has just completed the Gold Coast Marathon, who probably thankfully for you, Ben wasn't seventy four k's but you did manage to get over the line after doing the forty two point two Morning to you, Ben.

00:59:34
Speaker 5: Morning, Lucy and Will thanks for having me on. I feel like you've got the wrong person on now. You should be speaking to that woman that's an insane no.

00:59:44
Speaker 1: Well, congratulations to you, Ben. I've already highlighted that a marathon is not in my sights at all, And for you, you were really determined to do it and to do it well, and you did. You smashed it out in under three hours.

00:59:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was. I mean, I was very fortunate, but it all just I felt like it came together for me yesterday morning. I've done a lot of work and I set my sights on it as a goal that particularly as part of my recovery, that I felt like I had a little bit more control over because I was setting myself a lot of goals professionally and that kind of thing, which hindsight shows that my brain injury was getting in the way of and sadly became out of reach. But the physical, my physical recovery has been really good and this allowed me a goal that I felt like I could achieve, and thankfully I did.

01:00:36
Speaker 2: It's good to talk to you, Ben, because and you would find this having covered this as stories writing for the Advertiser a journalists in your time, we've been speaking about your case with Sean fuster On around the court segment as the Hide case, in the context of you know what it says about sentencing laws and how seriously we as a society treat incidences where people have left with lifelong challenges like the one that you faced, and to talk about these things with the sort of level of abstraction that makes them all very clinical. But behind it all is you as a guy that we get to talk to chat too this morning, who, as you say, is this philosophical question for us about about how this case has been treated for you? You're trying to work on professional goals and life goals and things like like running this marathon? What's the what's the last couple of years like for you in terms of the physical recovery that you've made that have allowed you to get to this point in time where you can run a marathon? I mean, was that even did you ever imagine ever be able to run like that? Again?

01:01:36
Speaker 5: I had a lot of questions, an uncertainty very quite early on in my in my recovery, there's a lot of anxiety around you know what I what exactly I was going to be able to get back to And early early on in my recovery, a lot of that was probably pegged to my physical recovery because I still didn't have a really great unders standing or awareness.

01:02:02
Speaker 20: Of the severity of my ultimately an invisible injury in my brain. So but as the months of my recovery continued. The physical it was proving a lot more achievable to pick off the physical game, and I felt like, you know, I was putting for a hell of a lot of work into my recovery, and I've had some amazing health experts helping me out along the way. But the physical, the physical goals just became far more obtainable, and I just kept trying to stretch those and stretch those and keep hitting them. And that's how the marathon came onto the scene.

01:02:45
Speaker 2: We should make the point to running under three hours make you a serious runner, mate. You get you'll be You'll be modest about it, but that is a serious time. Did you run before you got injured or was this a new a new thing that you've picked up.

01:02:57
Speaker 20: No, I've always enjoyed running, and I was, you know, I was, I was okay at it. I've run a cross country back when I was younger at school and did did enjoy I've always enjoyed running. It's just it took on a completely different dimension in my in my recovery, I found that not only was it great for myself physically, but you know, I've had an extreme amount of mental hurdles to overcome, and running has been so good for my my mental health as well, and I've just found it to be you know, it's kind of my my happy space and my It ticks all the boxes for me, you know, body, mind and soul. So I love it.

01:03:46
Speaker 1: Ben, Would you do it again? Was this? Was this the main challenge just to do one? Or has it inspired you to actually keep going and and go further? Maybe not to one hundred k's like someone else suggested earlier, but I mean you can run marathons all over the world.

01:04:02
Speaker 5: Yes, good question, Lucy. There's a big part of me this morning, particularly how I'm how I'm feeling that you know, I could just I could just sign off now and be and be happy.

01:04:14
Speaker 20: But the the atmosphere and the buzz and.

01:04:19
Speaker 5: The emotion and everything on the course yesterday was just incredible. And it does seem.

01:04:28
Speaker 20: Quite ridiculous to say that I probably will sign up to run another forty two kilometers at some stage, but I think I think I will.

01:04:37
Speaker 5: Not in it, not in it, not in any time soon.

01:04:40
Speaker 19: But you know.

01:04:43
Speaker 5: The risk is that I might not ever be able to run it as well as I did yesterday.

01:04:47
Speaker 20: But you know, with any luck.

01:04:50
Speaker 5: Goal, I might be able to go go slartly faster again, and it'll give me again, It'll give me another goal to set my sights on.

01:04:58
Speaker 2: I reckon. Asking a marathon run of the after the front of mouth or the run again is a bit like asking someone has had a big night with other drink again. I reckon, it's probably just the wrong time.

01:05:07
Speaker 1: Well, Ben, what's your recovery? You like an ice bath or a hot sawner type recovery. What's on the cards today?

01:05:14
Speaker 5: Oh?

01:05:14
Speaker 20: Well, the buffet breakfast about to get a serious workout. It'd be nice to nice to be able to eat without having to be.

01:05:22
Speaker 5: Too concerned with what I'm putting in.

01:05:26
Speaker 20: But look, and then I'm on a fly back, so it's probably not the ideal recovery, but just a fair bit of yesterday was very low key after.

01:05:39
Speaker 5: The after the event.

01:05:42
Speaker 20: And you know, while I'm a little bit distant, sore and sporting a pretty gnali blood.

01:05:48
Speaker 5: Blister on my pose, I'm all things considered, I'm probably not too bad. But it'll take me a while before I start going for a job.

01:05:59
Speaker 2: I think fair enough to lovely to chat with you, Bean made and congratulations on what is a remarkable achievement, Ben Hyde just having completed the Gold Coast Marathon, which is a huge personal milestone for anyone who's involved in anything physical fitness wise, but even more so for Ben who does it on the comeback trail after being involved in a crash that drew headlines, not just because of his affiliation with the Advertiser, but of course because of what it's said about how we treat serious incidents that leave people with debilitating, lifelong injuries. Drug driver Luigi Glegora was sentenced to four years prison of the two year non parole period in this case, and that was the context in which we discussed it around the courts. But Ben having run a marathon now is a remarkable story of personal resilience and it's fascinating. Loose on the Dutton's text line. The number of people who run marathons and do things like that not because they're just fitness freaks, which is fine. If that's your thing, go for it, that's great. It's a very healthy habit to have, but a lot of people have done it like Ben, to recover from injury or to overcome things that happen in their life Dad, who text us and says, I ran the nineteen ninety two Melbourne Marathon after brain and spinal injuries. The surgeon told me it may not be a good idea, but I did it in three point two hours. That's amazing. David Georgia has sent us a picture of her at the finish line of my one and only marathon, looking partly emotional, partly irritated. I think it's tough to crack a smile after you've run that far, but it's a wonderful achievement in Georgia. How many of our listeners have taken to some form of physical fitness or some achievement in that aspect of life to overcome something that's gone wrong, perhaps as an injury or something in another part of your life, be it running, or be it swimming, or any manner of those those sorts of endurance related things that are incredibly good for your mental health, like Ben has done, like David's done. On the Dutton's text line, we'd love to hear your stories this morning. Give us a call a double two three, double O, double O.

01:08:00
Speaker 1: I've recently started pilates since you've been gone. Will Wow. How's that going you missed a lot.

01:08:05
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we'll feel the bird.

01:08:06
Speaker 1: We'll do a deep dive into my pilates expedition later. I was always so intimidated by the reformers. The reformer machines is in everyone in.

01:08:15
Speaker 2: My job, British the UK election. There's Nigel Farage at your's instructions. You see your pilarates instructor.

01:08:22
Speaker 1: Everyone in my class is at least thirty years older than me. But I'm loving it and that's just been a new thing that I needed to attempt. So pillarates is my thing. I'm sure we've got a heap of pilarates listeners like we do marathon runners. Apparently, we'd love to hear from you.

01:08:36
Speaker 3: David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to line five double a breakfast.

01:08:41
Speaker 1: Wad out now and check what's happening out in the roads with Jade Roburn. Morning to you, Jade, Good morning Lucy and Will.

01:08:48
Speaker 8: Now this morning we're talking fuel theft because it's on the pretty much due to the cost of living crisis. Unfortunately, there's been more than fifteen thousand cases of fuel theft in the past five past financial year. Now people are driving in, they're filling up and just simply driving off. And like I said, a lot of it has got to do with cost of living. People just simply can't afford to fill up but still have to find their way to work in school drop offs. But the Commissioner, Grant Stevens, as he's had enough. He's called for petrol station owners to go pre paid. He said fuel theft is a complete and utter drain on police resources at a time when police are really in demand year in, year out. He believes a pre paid approach would dramatically eliminate the thefts, which does make sense, doesn't it. But our next guest, he's cracked the code. I'm at one hundred and seventy two Gilbert Street in the city with Jimmy, who owns and runs Silver's Auto Center. Guys our old school customer service.

01:09:45
Speaker 1: Tell us what you do here?

01:09:46
Speaker 18: Ah, yes we do. We go out and serve the people, fill up their fuel tank and check their ties, and check their oil oil and obviously wash their window as much as we can do.

01:10:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:10:01
Speaker 18: It's been doing it for forty five years with my brother Rocky. Yeah, We've got obviously staff that we're employ and it works good.

01:10:12
Speaker 8: I love that but then after hours you're prepaid. Is that for security reason?

01:10:18
Speaker 18: Not exactly. We prepay it because obviously it's making us money while we're not here, you know, while I'm sleeping, I guess, you know, and you know it works good and actually, believe it or not. Quite a few people that are talked to that you use to prepay, they love it, you know, because they don't have to put up with a lineup of people waiting to get coffee made. They can just quickly prepay and they're off. And it actually work very good on COVID because basically there was no crowds around that could just come in, pre pay and take off, so.

01:10:55
Speaker 1: True in and out in your own time.

01:10:57
Speaker 8: The police commissioner has said that, you know, on town, they're wasting so many police resources simply because people are running away with fuel and then those coppers are having to come here and use their resources to chase that. Do you have much crime here with your model, No, we.

01:11:13
Speaker 18: Don't, because we actually got to go out and we've got to serve the people. So obviously we're there while we're serving, so we have very limited crime at all for that at all, you know, maybe just once in the blue boom, but very rare, do you reckon?

01:11:32
Speaker 8: It's a good idea what he's calling for that most people.

01:11:35
Speaker 18: Should go prepaid. I think it is, but they have to prepay in the shop. They have to walk into the shop. No good at the pumps because you lose too much revenue, you know, in the shop, because that's where the shop is, where the money is made, you know, us doesn't really bother us. Our workshop is where it keeps us. I guess that's where we make our most of our money, you know, keep the business running. But no, Look, I think he's got a good idea, but it's got to be in the shop. They've got to get the people in the shop.

01:12:14
Speaker 8: Well, Jimmy, I'm running on empty, so filler up.

01:12:18
Speaker 1: Okay, no worries. Thank you. There to Jimmy at Silver's and Jay on the Dun's text line and said, Jimmy at Silvers is great. He's served my car for thirty years. Perhaps some of the big gas companies want to offer service at the pump like Jimmy, but he does make the point that the money's made in the shop.

01:12:34
Speaker 2: A couple of thoughts listening to that, and I'd be really interested given. This is a call. This is a serious call. It comes from the police commissioner. So this is not just a thought bubble. This has got serious backing the idea of having to prepay at the pump. Would you be in favor of a cut down on petrol drive offs and to free out police resources or is this all people that are doing the right thing having to jump through more hoops isself from the case to account for a few who don't. Would you be in favor of petrol pre paying at the pedrol pumb or not? We'd love to hear from you. Eight doumble two three double O, double O. The other thing. I just thought listening to that, And I'm a big proponent. I'm not the David Pemberthy of the combination losers, you know. I'm the will and I'm in favor of technology, and I see the great benefits in the march of technology.

01:13:20
Speaker 1: I'm totally the Pembo here.

01:13:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. That said, the greatest argument against people being removed from the service component of any industry is increasingly appearing to be crime. Because yes, we will have a stack of listeners that will hate prepaid checkouts and service stations we you know, these days, they're all that apart from Silver's you don't get served at the pump, and well, a lot of people say that's horrible, but there's another generation coming through that don't care, right, and they're going to be the majority before long. But the big issue seems to be and this is why we've had certain prepaid supermarkets remove them eradicate them, not because they're not popular, but because they're popular with criminals or people given to criminal behavior. And it does seem to be the greatest weakness at the moment of removing the person element from service roles is people have no issue stealing from machines. People have no issues with stealing.

01:14:09
Speaker 1: There's no emotion attaching, there's.

01:14:11
Speaker 2: No human being involved, there's no confrontation. That seems to be a big element, and it's just a It's an interesting and I think actually rather unsettling revelation about the human condition. How many people are given to doing the wrong thing when they have been there's the perception that there's no consequence. But when it comes to drive a petrol Folks, we want to hear from you this morning. Now cast your vote. Would you be happy to have to prepay or is it a terrible idea? Let us know eight double two three double o double Oh.

01:14:38
Speaker 3: David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double a breakfast.

01:14:43
Speaker 1: Young kids say a bit of a bop at eight ten this morning, A bit of a bop. I believe my fifteen year old cousin would.

01:14:49
Speaker 2: Say that what you describe a song as a bop. I thought bopping was like a form of dancing.

01:14:54
Speaker 1: Now, if it's a good song, bit of a bop, we in my age we'd say a bit of a banger, right, But bit of a bo up eight ten this morning, getting us up and away here David is away for a few more weeks. Will and Lucy for the last hour of breaky this Monday morning. Coming up shortly. We are chatting about bus drivers protection screens. They are finally underway. It's been a big discussion. We'll get to that shortly, but later in the program we are revisiting the prepaid fuel notion. We were a couple of texts coming through on that.

01:15:20
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we asked you your response, good people of adelaide on whether you are a fan of the idea that buying petrol will become a prepaid experience, you'd have to work it out up front. Heeding the call of the Police Commissioner Grant Stevens to try and help police fight the scourge of petrol drive offs not overwhelmingly positive. The feedback thus far. On the Dutton's text line, Roger says Will and Lucy, I'm not in favor of prepaid fuel. I'm not a criminal or a thief, so I don't wish to be treated like one. I understand that petrol theft is on the rises, is the cost of living as normal. The minority buggers it up for the majority, Thank you, Roger. Jen says I'd rather walk in and pay for petrol than be jumped at the pump for my card or have my card scammed. Jen, imagining a prepay scenario, we'd obviously have to swipe a card first. It's an interesting thought, Jen. A lot of the surveos have apps now. In fact, we've got a text from Peter on that, who says the OTR I have already have The pump and go app works great, gives you the chance at various discounts. Gavin says, I suggest they changed the design of service stations one way in one way out drop spikes at both exit spikes are only lowered after payment problem solved. That'd be dramatic, but so too is the concept having to pay ahead of time. Peter, rather glibly on the Dutton's tech line says, maybe we could go one step further and have prepaid supermarkets. Well, don't suggest it too loud, Petter, someone might be listening. The concept has confused. A couple of the listeners too, have asked, well, how do you pay prepay fuel when you don't know what it's going to be to fill up your car necessarily? Well, presumably that's you do have to pay in round numbers, and so I'm just going to put in.

01:16:59
Speaker 1: Twenty bucks forty.

01:17:00
Speaker 2: Bucks, or if it's viral app maybe it can just induct it naturally beforehanded before you go in. I'm not so sure, but keep those thoughts coming through. Let's get a good poll of five double A listeners. Thoughts, would you be happy to pre pay for petrol to combat the scourge of petrol drive offs? Or is this, again, in the words of let me quote Roger on the Dutton's text line, a case of the minority buggering it up for the majority. Thank you.

01:17:25
Speaker 1: Roger, Hey double two to three, double O doublo. We'd love to hear from our metro bus drivers this morning as well. We know we've got a few out there listening or you might be out driving as you hear this. Yesterday it was announced the state government are tendering for a supply to install bus screens protective ones to more than nine hundred of our metro buses over the next four years. Ninety five assaults on our bus drivers reported in the past twelve months, which is up nearly twenty than the previous year. To join us with the announcement of the protective screens is John well And the CEO of the Department of Infrastructure and Transport.

01:17:57
Speaker 5: Warning to you, John, good morning, Lucy Goodne.

01:18:00
Speaker 12: We will it's a.

01:18:01
Speaker 2: Sort of I think it's a good announcement for bus drivers, John, but it's sort of a sad reflection on the state of things. Is it not that we have to introduce the sorts of protective screens that we see I reckon as strategy used to travel once upon a time to all the place of the world and say is it nice we don't have that kind of thing here? But now we're going.

01:18:17
Speaker 5: To Yeah, you're right, well in some sense that you know, it's also important that we protect our patrons, but it's also important we protect our men and women bus drivers, and this role out of these nearly nine hundred and forty screens across our network of buses, this will make sure it's safer for those bus drivers. Important that we keep bus drivers on the road, and far too many of these assaults. You know, we're still going to remember we transport around about one hundred and seventy hundred and eighty thousand people on our bus network and the majority of those are well behaved and we're dealing with, you know, this minority of idiots that think it's okay to abuse or throw things onto our bus drivers. So it's important for us to protect them. It's important for us to put these screens on our buses. So we think it's a fantastic roll out. It's been asked for for our bus drivers, and now we're getting on with the job and getting this implement John.

01:19:09
Speaker 1: You had a lot of consultation, a lot of prototypes that you tested more than seven or something. I think I read different designs and getting feedback, trialing on the buses. How did exactly did you land on something that needed to be nearly ten mils thick for protection?

01:19:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, Lucy, it's a great question. You know, we've got some bus drivers that don't want any protection. They want to interact with the patrons, which is signed. But overall, what we did is we ran a prototype of seven. We then got that down with the help of the bus drivers, the help of the unions, we got that down to two. We then put out sort of like QR codes on those. We allowed the bus drivers to comment on those two prototypes we had on the network and we're now down to one. So we're now down to a consensus of a preferred screen, a preferred protective screen. Now that's out in the market to get tenders for the implementation of that. Now we're getting on with it. We're going to start rolling out these protective screens to help safe for our bus drivers on our network.

01:20:07
Speaker 2: John, how about your analysis. Have you done this data about bus drivers assaults, because, as Lucy describe it, ninety five up from seventy six in the previous year. Does that coincide with an increase in patronage or is there something else that's bigger that's going on.

01:20:23
Speaker 5: It's probably a combination of a few things, will you know, Like how as I said, we transport about one hundred and eighty thousand patrons on our bus network every day, so it's a massive amount of people to being transported. Those figures are increasing with patronage, which is a good thing to have. But overall, these ninety five assaults that we saw in twenty three twenty four, that's ninety five far too many, right and now to be able to protect our male and female bus drivers. To have these screens on there is just a demonstration of the government showing public transport is important. Public transports safety if our patrons is important, but also for the men and women that dry our buses.

01:21:01
Speaker 2: Will as has been part of Has there been an issue with recruiting bus drivers.

01:21:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, well certainly it has been. You know, during the COVID process and those things, there was a drop of that. We're not only recruiting bus drivers, we're out in the market for train and train drivers as well. It's a fantastic career, fantastic job, and we just want to make sure it's safe for them. You know, no person should come to work and have the thread of someone abusing them or throwing food on them. So these screens will make them safer as well. So we think it's a great thing. We're getting on with it. We're going to start implementing these screens make sure that our men and women bus drivers are safe.

01:21:38
Speaker 2: Will the buses that get the screens first, presumably they'll be on the most high risk routes.

01:21:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, what we need to do is work with the different bus operators and we're now down to one screen. Once we get the suppliers to fit these screens, we need to work around how it also makes sure it doesn't impact the services that we're running, So it be a combination of a few things there will, but mainly we can't take all the is off the network at once. We just we still need to make sure our patrons get to and from their destinations safely as well. So we'll progressively roll these out. But the sooner we can get them out there, the better will all right.

01:22:11
Speaker 1: Well, John, thank you so John Wellen of the Department of Infrastructure and Transport.

01:22:15
Speaker 2: There, I can't pick a hole in anything that makes bus drivers lives easier. I mean, you know we want but well documented as the benefit of society of people using public transport, but anywhere jumps on a train or a bus or anything and sees one antisocial incident thinks, oh god, I'm not sure this is for me, or I'm not I don't feel safe or whatever. I just every time I see anything like that, and it is fairly rare in Adelaide. Let's let's be clear, but I think, well, how full you see it? If you do this every day? How often do you if you're if you're this is your job, do you pull up at this stop knowing that this this person might get on. What does that do to your mental health and your and your well being? I think it's I think whatever bus drivers want to keep them in that job, they should get And it's good the government's coming to the party. Sharon has called in in Parafield Gardens. What are you, Sharon?

01:23:02
Speaker 21: Hi, good morning, We'll and Lucy. Since Costco started, I've been a member. That's beside the point. But they do have pre pay there. If I've got a house to take a fuel, I might think, oh forty dollars, but I just hit one hundred or sometimes I'm lower than that's just hit one fifty button. But in the end you'll only be charged for the actual field that you used, which might have been eighty dollars or something. Yeah, that's how it works.

01:23:32
Speaker 5: You know.

01:23:32
Speaker 21: Sometimes I just think, oh, I'll press one few kiss anyway.

01:23:36
Speaker 1: Sharon, as a Costco shopper at their petrol station, we've had a few texts about it that Costco is the main place in Alaie that does this. Have you heard of any crime incidents from Costco?

01:23:46
Speaker 21: No, I definitely haven't. And when I read what the commissioner is hoping, I thought, oh, yes, please please bring that in for these people that can't do the right thing and support service businesses and pay for what they actually do. So I'm hoping that it does come into action.

01:24:06
Speaker 2: It's a great call, Sharon. Thank you for the information because it does answer a lot of queries we're getting about how this might work. We are inundated with people with a view on.

01:24:14
Speaker 1: We'll save your text you after. Let's go to Kevin import Broughton. Kevin, what do you think?

01:24:20
Speaker 22: Oh, yes, good morning, Well the last call and just start my thunder at port brought and when the service station is closed a self served and so you tipped your card to put in the amount, and obviously the computer connects and make sure the tones are there. And when you go to fill up, you only get charged with the fuel you are taking them. That completes a transaction, and you can go back and check your online banking and you see that the amount of fuel that you you're piled up, that's exactly what you charge. And we don't we've got we don't have fuel thefts import brought in. Obvious it's too small, but seeds has already got that sort of that And I think that's actually a good idea because every single one of us we play for the fuel feats.

01:25:08
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, you're right, there's a great point. Thanks Kevin. Sarah in Enfield, good morning, your thoughts on prepaid fuel.

01:25:14
Speaker 23: Hi guys, Look, the last two callers stole my thunder, but I was going to take a step further and say how car parks work. At the moment, you have a sort of tap in, tap out and they read it play and maybe they could leak that somehow. So you just tap your card, you fill up however you need, and then it charges excuse me, it charges your card when the transaction's finished.

01:25:36
Speaker 24: So you don't have.

01:25:37
Speaker 7: To get.

01:25:39
Speaker 2: Makes perfect sense, Sarah. The technology exists, that's not that's that wouldn't require a massive adjustment from me. We'll get a few texts from listeners who don't like the idea of swiping cards are being forced to do that, they like to pay in cash, and so forth. The reality will be, as it always is, a commercial one, and whether bringing in this sort of new technology makes dollars and sense for the victims of this, who are the servos that have to deal with it. Lots of texts and it would seem Louis, and this often happens when we have a big debate that goes on air early, a lot of people against it late and we'll read your text very shortly on the Dutton's text lines before zero thirty nine above, a lot of people in favor of the police commissioner's call to make filling up the car a pre pay only experience. So we'll get to some more of that and introducing new elements of that debate after eight thirty.

01:26:31
Speaker 3: This morning, David Penberthy and Will Goodings six to nine five double.

01:26:35
Speaker 1: A breakfast save it's still away for a couple of more days. But we have had an absolutely astounding responsor on the Dutton's text line on pre paid fuel. Get your calls in now a double two to three double O double O, and we will get to some of your Dutton's texts shortly. Duttons save thousands at the bigness and demonstrate a sale on now Dunton's miss and Murraybridge easy to do business with. We also have in a moment friend of show Police Commissioner Grant Stevens, who has been listening and had started this whole conversation really over the weekend, but he decided he wanted to chime in. We'll get to the commissioner shortly, but please send in your text messages and we'll pick through the masses.

01:27:09
Speaker 2: Momentarily divided is the opinion thus far coming through Dutton's text line and indeed on the open line eight double two to three double O doublo. The Police Commission, of course, calling for mandatory prepaying at the petrol pump to try and prevent fuel drive off's a scourge that's obviously hurting retailers and by extension US law abiding bill paying customers, but also it's dragging resources out of sapold that they just don't have to spare at the moment. Jay Robin, who started this whole chat just before eight o'clock, has been out in the road and ask people about what they think of the concept of being forced to pay for your fuel before you fill up at the pump.

01:27:46
Speaker 8: Alison, what do you think of pre paying petrol?

01:27:50
Speaker 4: I haven't really thought too much about it, to tell you the truth, it's probably fine convenient.

01:27:56
Speaker 8: Meredith, what do you think of the commissioner's thoughts about everyone going pre paid?

01:28:01
Speaker 18: Well, if it's going to help with.

01:28:05
Speaker 4: Safety of workers especially and businesses, if people are driving off and not paying, I think it's a good idea.

01:28:13
Speaker 10: Would you do it?

01:28:15
Speaker 5: I think I would yes, And I actually like the idea of paying fifty and you're going out and that's exactly what you're going.

01:28:21
Speaker 8: To get, Jeremy, pre paying for your petrol good idea or a bit of a nuisance?

01:28:26
Speaker 11: No, a great idea.

01:28:27
Speaker 5: I think.

01:28:28
Speaker 7: Potentially less workers required for businesses while.

01:28:31
Speaker 1: They can still continue.

01:28:32
Speaker 8: To earn money unless crime too.

01:28:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's obviously why it's sort of been put into place, but which is a massive part, especially through the city.

01:28:40
Speaker 2: I dare say well, the man behind this idea that started the conversation this morning is the Police Commissioner Grant Stephen, who has called in to the chat commissioner. Good morning to you. The impetus behind this, from your perspective obviously, is around police resourcing. How big a problem has this become?

01:28:58
Speaker 19: Well, thanks, sir Will. It's something that we mean looking at and speaking to stakeholder is about for over a decade, looking at ways to minimize or reduce the incidents of fuel theft. And I think we're at a point now with about sixteen thousand incidents a year, only about half of which can be followed up by police, that we need to do something a little bit more positive than the simple solution which eliminates this type of crime immediately overnight, is prepaid fuel. The stations have the capacity to do it. We have one service station in the metropolitan area Badelaide that is prepaid and there are no reports of petrol drive offs from that service station.

01:29:36
Speaker 2: You say fifty percent of the cases can't be followed up. Is that a resourcing thing or is that just about what technologies on site, CCTV and so forth.

01:29:43
Speaker 19: No, it's more about the elements of the offense that we have to prove. We have to prove that people dishonestly filled up their car with the intention of not paying, and that mental element is very difficult for us to establish. Simply seeing the CCTV footage someone filling their car up and getting in and driving off doesn't establish that threshold, which means we assess these reports, and so we have people assessing those reports sixteen thousand a year, About eight thousand are allocated for investigation, and only about seven percent of those eight thousand result in someone facing court for fuel theft, and not all of those are successful prosecutions.

01:30:22
Speaker 2: You're kidding, So ninety three percent of incidences that are reported to police don't result in prosecution.

01:30:29
Speaker 19: We assess all sixteen thousand, and as I said, about eight thousand are allocated for investigation, and of that eight thousand, only about seven percent result in someone going to court. So that's incredibly low numbers. And if you take that across the entire sixteen thousand, that's only four percent of those matters resulting in someone facing a criminal prosecution with very limited and success in the courts. This is a massive drain on police resources and you know, I'm in a position where I have to make decisions about how we use our police resources, and I'd rather be put in those resources to criminal matters that directly impact on people's safety, such as family and domestic violence. Saving women and children from the scourge of domestic violence, I think is a greater priority than following up a preventable crime.

01:31:14
Speaker 2: It sounds like it might be an area of law that might need a bit of tightening up as well. Commissioner. Thank you Police Commissioner Grant Stevens who started this whole conversation over the weekend. Mark Borlays from the RaaS also on the line, Mark, good morning to you from the RAA's perspective, concerned with the well being of motorists. Do you think there's merit in this idea?

01:31:32
Speaker 5: Look either way, the motorists are going to pay. What we've seen over the last decade is that whole industry changed from just being a place where we can got petrol to now becoming the equivalent of an an a store. And so the business model relies on that foot traffic going in buying the higher value groceries and coffees and things like that to make the whole site workers of business, not the petrol side. So if you if you put in the punt systems, obviously there's capital costs and that in that that'll be passed on the consumers. If you don't, you probably continue to get the drive off. Those losses are passed on to the consumers. So by the way, the consumer unfortunately gets gets caught with this. Now in the US, I know that they have had that for years. You can't just you can't get to any petrol unsts you paid for it. But their business model is completely different. So we've seen that on the runs. Are really those type of businesses have really led this this type of business and we see it now being rolled out across Australia. So it's not going to go away. And I think, as the Commissioner said, you know, he's got his resources where he thinks it's it's right and if you're getting such a low return on your labor investment, then you know it really don't bring it into question. And I know other jurisdictions have gone through this as well. Western some time ago decided to for a while they're treatd All of these are just civil debt problems rather than crime. So it's thorny and the community mixed because the people who are already going in to get coffee, they won't be minded, and that people who just want to get petrol and get on will.

01:33:21
Speaker 20: Probably like it.

01:33:22
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's never going to be a homogenous sort of approach.

01:33:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark, thank you a lot of great information there, Mark Burneys from Aria that mirrors a lot of what we're seeing on the Dutton's text line. The little bit of mine from mind loose that this the suspicion that sort of goes off in my head about this is the entity that is most acutely aware of the losses that come about as a result of drive offs other petrol retailers, and if they haven't seen a commercial reason to go down the path of making this mandatory so far, it's obviously because their business models Mark just said is sol on and getting people into the store, coming in afterwards and buying things and treating it like the corner a store, which is which is in astute observation that there's actually a commercially there's not necessarily a strong case I'm stitching this together on the basis of the lack of movement on their front that there's not a case to be made to do this that will benefit them. And therefore if they if they're forced to do it, and they see it as a hit to the bottom line, well that'll that'll hit consumers as well. On the face of it, to combat crime, it's a strong argument. It would strike me as a less strong argument if you talk about it will help the consumer out, which is what a few of our texts are saying that you know we're paying for drive offs, Yes we are, but we're also subsidizing Petron the basis that people are going into the stores and buying a whole bunch of stuff. Let's get to some of that feedback. Paul and Penshaw, good morning.

01:34:50
Speaker 13: What happens when the when the banks you can's not working because the bank's computer as a bugget.

01:34:58
Speaker 1: Yep, technology issue. Could have Yeah, well, I mean you just I guess you have to have a backup. Do you then carry cash and say, well, I have a twenty dollar oak Can I prepay with that?

01:35:08
Speaker 2: Can? I?

01:35:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, But then who carries cash? Me? I have a twenty in my wallet. It's been there for four months just because I never know what I'm going to need a twenty.

01:35:16
Speaker 2: Look at year you're buying coffees later this week. Those Well, now that's where that twenty is going to go. Let's look at some of these Duttons texts. Brian says, we spent six weeks drive across the USA last year where it's all prepaid. It's easy. The industry here just greedy because they want the lolly sales.

01:35:30
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's a fair point by Brian, because you go into a servo and you pay for your petrol when you see your lolliesy your milk or your bread. They're designed so you can grab it as you go. But the prices of the products are ginormous. Like their chocolate deals at nearly every brand of servo here is like buy two little kit kats for six bucks.

01:35:48
Speaker 2: People clearly do it.

01:35:49
Speaker 1: Not only do they want the sale of the chocolate, they want the inflated sale of the chocolate. I mean a loaf of bread at the servos can be six dollars or more for one life of bread and that goes to their bus. This model that if you're prepaying just for dual, well, you're not even going to buy a two dollar loaf of bread, which probably doesn't exist anywhere anymore. But you're buying the most expensive one because it's right there.

01:36:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to play Devil's advocate then, and this is sort of what bark Borlace was saying. I think everyone would agree with a measure that fights crime, but what if it's at both the cost of your convenience and at the cost of your hip pocket that we still think it's a good idea.

01:36:24
Speaker 14: Russell, good morning, good guys, Just a quick one. The unions and safe work a should step in and say there's got to be two people on the premises twenty four hours a day. I mean they're making enough money out of the shop to compensate for that.

01:36:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a bad idea at all. It's awful the situation that these people are left in the middle of the night. You know, we've had it reported to us. People have told us before about the protocol they have in place for when you are held up. Yeah, the presumption that it's going to happen.

01:37:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, just leave them, let them go.

01:37:03
Speaker 2: Darren, good morning.

01:37:05
Speaker 19: Yeah.

01:37:06
Speaker 7: Hell.

01:37:06
Speaker 24: I I'm a contractor, I'm a plumber, and I live in Gauler and I've got a long range take on my car, and I say, and I always threw up, So possibly you are aund about two hundred and thirty dollars to still up? How do I only put twenty dollars or fifty dollars or one hundred dollars in the car when I need my take to be full?

01:37:26
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's convenience there for Darren, isn't it. He can't He's going to keep going back to fill up. I mean, unless they set a limit where you just go in and specify how much you want, like at the moment. At the moment, the machines now are pre pre programmed. You can select ten, twenty, forty, fifty dollars or one hundred. I guess. But is it then going to change if it happens where you walk in and say to the attendant, I would like two hundred dollars worth?

01:37:49
Speaker 9: Well?

01:37:49
Speaker 2: Was it Sarah who called us earlier that with the cost Co example and said you just you Sharon, yeh, Sharon, Sorry, sorry, Sharon. You set it to a number fire and except of what you're got to pay one hundred and fifty for a normal car and it will just deduct what it needs. But you need to be You need that prayer approval that it's in the account. Let's get to some more of these Duttons texts. A few people concerned about what happens to fleet card or business card holders would have to be worked through on that front. Peter here says, we're traveling with a caravan on Cape York and often utilize prepaid fuel. You can nominate an authorized amount, say ten it dollars. Then you fill up one hundred and eighty five and you want to get charged for the actual amount. Philip Henley says, in a futuristic world, Reverend has an electric car, we wouldn't have fuel drive offs it Maybe people are just sort of plug into a power outlet.

01:38:37
Speaker 1: Here's one from Time gone By from Terreesa. Ten years ago. I went to a service station on McGill Road. I was in my thirties, so they wouldn't release the petrol unless I left my credit card inside the shop before pumping the petrol. They had had an increase in driveaways at that time. That was their own solution for trying to cope with the loss. It didn't bother me, but with all the scamming now I would have an issue with it. Yeah, I agree, because you hear of people just somehow getting your card number, and that's only one instance of if you had to do that, well, that's an easy way.

01:39:04
Speaker 2: A few people have made this point, and this often comes up when crime stats or the light get revealed. A Tanya, I'll just read Tan because there's a number of that are in this vein saying by announcing those appalling prosecution stats and the provability issues as the commissioner just unwittingly revealed, the chances are that you'll get away with a drive off. And maybe I'm a starry eyed glass half full optimist Tanyure, but I kind of think because other people say this all, once people hear how easy it is to get away with it, a lot of more people will do it. I just don't think that's how most law abiding people's brains work. I reckon, if you're the kind of person who's going to do it, you're probably already doing it. I don't think there's there's too many people out there that are generally law abiding citizens are going to say, well, on the ballots of probably these will get away with it. That said, to use the self serve checkout example, a lot of people otherwise do the right thing, are given to doing the wrong thing when it becomes very very easy to do. So so maybe I'm maybe I shouldn't be so optimistic. Ten you.

Speaker 1: Let's take one more call on this, Robin Cumlin Park, what do you reckon, Hobby?

01:40:09
Speaker 25: Yeah, I just got back from New Zealand a little bit of driving around there, and about eighty percent of the petrol station I used were unmanned. All you could do was by petrol. You had to use your credit card to pay an amount and then it would test your credit card, put through a transaction on your credit card. Then you'd buy the petrol or punt the petrol. It wouldn't know exactly how much you purchased. It would then credit the original transaction and charge and new transaction.

01:40:40
Speaker 2: So would you find it convenient or inconvenient?

01:40:43
Speaker 17: Rob?

01:40:44
Speaker 25: Ah, it was painful, but it was. It was new to me as well, so maybe once you get used to it, it's an easy thing to do.

01:40:53
Speaker 1: Thank you, Rob.

01:40:54
Speaker 2: Great insights from people that have traveled around and driven this morning. We appreciate all of those and the concern of people who think this is just again pandering to a small number of people who are doing the wrong thing and that will lead to greater inconvenience for them. So appreciate all the to this conversation over the course of the morning. It's been quite a fascinating one. It'll be interesting to see what the industry does with this.
